''Battle Story [=MegaMan=] NT Warrior'' was the second major manga based on ''VideoGame/MegaManBattleNetwork'', written and illustrated by Jun Keijima and Miso Asada; it was initially released by Shogakukan as part of ''Shogaku Ninensei'', ''Shogaku Sannensei'', and ''Shogaku Yonensei'', and later collected into four volumes between 2002 and 2004. It was [[NoExportForYou not released for North America]], but did see an official European release (in French) between 2005 and 2006.
!!''Battle Story'' contains examples of...
* AdaptationalBadass: Most navis, but special mention goes to Gospel, which Megaman has to beat three times over the second to the third volumes to take that dog down for good. Even then, he got a SuperMode on top of his near defeat by the third battle.
* AfterTheEnd: After the latest battle against Proto, the Densan City (and perhaps other cities around the world) [[spoiler: took a heavy damage they hardly recovered]]. Unlike the other Rockman.EXE manga where the city is [[spoiler: to flourish back and invent a new advanced technology and internet]], the Battle Story actually ends up [[spoiler: where the citizens have to survive without them, barely connected the internet somehow]]. It doesn't stop the villain from Nebula to terrorize the town and the internet through Shademan.EXE. While Rockman.EXE and Blues.EXE [[spoiler: find their new Soul Unison]], the story is {{cut short}} right there, thus ending the Battle Story manga.
* AvengingTheVillain: [[spoiler: Dr. Regal shows up at the end of the series after his father’s death]].
* BashBrothers: Not as often in the other works, but Megaman and Protoman still shows up from time to time.
* BattleCouple: Megaman and Roll, even going to think of better combos in some fights.
* BeamSpam: The battle against the Zero Virus is this.
* BerserkButton: This time, its increased to [[CurbstompBattle curbstomp levels]] when anyone hurts any of Megaman’s friends. Just ask Metalman.
* BrilliantButLazy: Downplayed for Lan here. He’s still the same, but he ''will'' jump to the call.
* BrownNote: [=ShadeMan's=] screech has the power to wreck havoc to nearby buildings.
* BlobMonster: Alpha.
* BystanderSyndrome: Explores the 'seeing your child hurt' and 'what if they didn't come home' variants. One that takes the cake is Lan, a ten-year old child, almost got hit by a truck by crossing a (supposedly empty) street. Also, ''lots of bystanders were watching'' the event.
* CanineCompanion: Averted, Gospel isn’t a partner of Bass this time.
* CerebusSyndrome: Downplayed. Alternates between serious and comedic chapters.
* ChestBurster: [[spoiler: Bass GS]] leaves his host, [[spoiler: the real Bass]], from his back. [[spoiler:GS]] then proceeds to [[spoiler: [[YouHaveOutlivedYourUsefulness blast him (and an alarmed yet confused Shadowman) without hesitation all the while stealing his likeness]] (with a darker palette for the viewers to tell the difference)]].
* CoDragons: [=ShadeMan=] and [[spoiler:Bass GS]] to Dr. Wily, through the latter doesn’t join the reins until after [[spoiler:Wily’s death]]. Which, [[DragonInChief he shows his true loyalty against Wily’s ‘weaker’ subordinates]]- [[spoiler:any navi who shows the slightest hint of leaving or betraying gets killed right then and there]]. No question asked, no hesitation.
* DetachmentCombat: Gospel can only pull this off with his head.
* FamilyUnfriendlyDeath: While it doesn’t take the ''fights'' from ''Rockman.EXE'' manga more brutal, ''Battle Story'' doesn’t hold back on the '''deaths'''. And the deaths are [[KilledOffForReal permanent]]. (Most of them, anyway. The few are only implied).
** As to hammer the final note near the ending,[[spoiler:Dr. Wily dies by being crushed under the rubble of his laboratory!]]
* FauxAffablyEvil: [[spoiler: Bass GS, being a parasite]], picked up his formal way of speaking from the [[AffablyEvil real deal]]. He [[TheSociopath completely drops the manners]] later, though.
* ForTheEvulz: On the special chapters, Dark Megaman appears as this on a whole 'nother level- going so far as to [[spoiler:torture the completely amnesic Bass just because he could. It was so bad and traumatic that Bass panics and fled because he mistook the original Megaman for the Dark version after he was rescued]].
* FusionDance: Not really a fusion, since [[spoiler: an unconscious Bass GS and the real Bass fused as Bass doesn’t want to wreak havoc again, but as the real Bass warned Megaman before, it creates complete amnesia for Bass after and he flees.]]
* FlunkyBoss: Gospel, with the [[spoiler:clones of the decreased navis which Megaman killed before]].
* GetAHoldOfYourselfMan: Lan gives a punch of this to Sean after the battle of Gospel. It works.
* HeroicBSOD: Lan suffers this greatly when Megaman dies under Alpha. [[spoiler: Megaman comes back later, though]].
* HighVoltageDeath: Implied. [[spoiler:Gauss Magnus does this to himself and an unwilling Princess Pride via wires to powerup Gospel. They were never shown again after that and only guessed of their well-being by the heroes. ]]
* IgnoredEnemy: When Megaman gets the Muramasa from Shadowman, [[spoiler:Bass GS]] patiently waits but when the conversation drags on, [[spoiler: GS]] proceeds to blast him down without warning, which Megaman narrowly avoids at the last second.
* ImpaledWithExtremePrejudice: [=CutMan=] and [=AirMan=] [[spoiler:dies by being ''wholly impaled through the same sword'']].
* ItsAllAboutMe: [=BubbleMan=] , full stop. He captures hostages inside his bubbles for himself.
* LateToTheTragedy: Serenade scolds themself after [[spoiler: Alpha already took over a majority of the internet and navis]].
* LimitedWardrobe: Downplayed. While Lan normally wears his iconic outfit, he can wear different outfits on special occasions or for safety reasons in his battles.
* ManipulativeBastard: [[spoiler: Bass GS]] taunts Megaman on the [[spoiler: ‘deaths’ of the real Bass and Shadowman.]] Megaman ''almost'' lost it right then and there, even attacking [[spoiler: GS]] without Lan’s consent, which Lan has to yell his name to bring him back to his senses.
* MartialPacifist: Bass, of all navis. All he (and [=ShadowMan=]) just want to do is to look over his own part of Undernet from away the chaos. [[spoiler:This makes him all the available for him to be brainwashed. He stays always reserved and polite and bears Megaman no malice until the end after being rescued]].
* NonMaliciousMonster: Alpha, but revved up to be easily mistaken for an OmnicidalManiac.
* PuppeteerParasite: [[spoiler: Bass GS]] to the [[spoiler:real Bass.]] Unlike the games where [[spoiler:Gospel]] is a failed clone, this is one that [[spoiler:''lives'' off the real deal]] to watch over the chaos without [[spoiler:Bass]] knowing of him.
* SurpriseCreepy: On some arcs, there will be a subtle ArtShift.
* RecurringExtra: Expect lots of familiar faces on the background. Even Lan openly talks to a [[VideoGame/MegaManLegends Servbot]] in the first volume.
* TheSpeechless: The [[spoiler: amnesic Bass]] is this in his debut and the special chapters. His 'speech' bubbles consist of emotions, usually a [[ConfusedQuestionMark question mark]] or an exclamation mark.
