** In the dubbed version of the Axess finale, upon seeing Regal turning into Laser Man, Lan exclaims "Can everyone cross fuse?!". In the next season, several characters are given the ability to cross fuse including but not limited to Mayl/Roll, Raika/Laika/Search Man, and Pride/Knightman.

* BigLippedAlligatorMoment: The entirety of the Mistman episode of Axess, which plays like the wierdest dream. Lan and Mayl (in clothing unique to the episode) go butterfly-hunting around the world (by ''running'') only to find themselves in front of a massive pyramid, where Yuriko just so happens to be hunting for [[{{Unobtanium}} raremetal]] to make Dark Chips with. They all end up in a fight with [=MistMan=], who ends up fighting for whichever side is holding his lamp. After the adventure ends, the entire pyramid disappears.
** Including the ending in the Japanese version of the episode where Lan, Mayl, and Yuriko are menaced by [[http://i.imgur.com/cIqP2m0.jpg Jason Voorhees]] and [[http://i.imgur.com/yLiFDYO.jpg Freddy Krueger]]. ''i.e. EveryoneDies''.

* BigLippedAlligatorMoment: The entirety of the Mistman episode of Axess.
** Including the ending in the Japanese version of the episode where Lan, Mayl, and Yuriko are menaced by [[http://i.imgur.com/cIqP2m0.jpg Jason Voorhees]] and [[http://i.imgur.com/yLiFDYO.jpg Freddy Krueger]].

to:

* AlternateCharacterInterpretation: Many characters from the games have alternate motives and goals in NT Warrior.
** Chaud is the biggest example. In the games, he's a ChildProdigy Official Net Battler who objects to Lan getting in his way; in the anime, he's got nothing to do with the Officials and instead is TheAce of competitive Net Battling. In the manga, he's a police agent, but, like in the anime, he plays the AlwaysSomeoneBetter card.
** Bass is another good example. While his character ("become the strongest" + "destroy all humans") is roughly consistent between adaptations, NT Warrior comes at it from a radically different direction. In the anime, he's a reincarnation of [=PharaohMan=].
*** Incidentally, ''[=PharaohMan=]'', who in the games was largely just a high-level WWW guardian, has a massive God Complex in the anime that lead him to try and conquer the world. When he breaks out of his can, he decides to take revenge on humanity.
** Annetta was a completely different character in the anime; in the original games she was a brainwashed WellIntentiondExtremist, while in the anime, she becomes a non-combatant ally of the Net Savers and a LoveInterest of Chaud's (with a much darker back story to go along with Axess' CerebusSyndrome).

Axess, which plays like the wierdest dream. Lan and Mayl (in clothing unique to the episode) go butterfly-hunting around the world (by ''running'') only to find themselves in front of a massive pyramid, where Yuriko just so happens to be hunting for [[{{Unobtanium}} raremetal]] to make Dark Chips with. They all end up in a fight with [=MistMan=], who ends up fighting for whichever side is holding his lamp. After the adventure ends, the entire pyramid disappears.

** There's major division on which season is the best. This usually includes a debate on the massive GenreShift from the centrality of {{Cyberspace}} in the first two seasons to HenshinHero in Axess and eventually {{Sentai}} in Stream to saving AnotherDimension from its own AfterTheEnd scenario in Beast.
*** Among the two that focused on Cross Fusion (Axess and Stream), there's huge debate on which is better between them: those who hate Stream point to its pointless filler and overuse of cross fusion along with focusing a little too much on shipping while those who hate Axess point to it being gratuitously DarkerAndEdgier and its own filler. HypeBacklash didn't help.
*** There are some who don't like anything after the first two seasons, accusing it of having much darker tone and declaring that the new focus on Cross Fusion deviated too far from the original setting and plot of the games in favor of getting more humans involved.
** Was the inclusion of the anime only character Tory/Tohru (Iceman's operator) pointless due to him having next to no major role after the first season or is he actually a good net battler and friend who is a victim of the writers writing him out. Ms. Yuri also counts: she was more re-characterized in the anime, but after Stream she and almost the whole Cross Fusion team were DemotedToExtra.



* CrackPairing[=/=]LesYay: Serenade and Slur. [[PurelyAestheticGender Gender]] [[ViewerGenderConfusion debates aside]], these two are often paired together despite never met at all (Serenade in the manga and [=BN3=], Slur in the anime). Although this is probably because both of them are elite-tier and feminine looking Navis so they are often shipped together like rivals. Some fans even slipped Bass into the pairing and make those two fighting for his affection as well.



* FanonDiscontinuity: Some fans pretend there is nothing after ''Axess''.
** There's a small chance that the lack of localization past ''Axess'' has something to do with it.
** And others just refuse to acknowledge anything past the original series. Some fans did not take kindly to cross fusion at all.
* FetishFuel: Ahem. Someone took a bunch of screenshots from the series and ripped them out of context. Warning, NSFW: [[http://zumidotexe.tumblr.com/post/21128681491/people-wonder-why-i-like-exe YOU CAN'T UNSEE IT]].

to:

* DieForOurShip:
** Maylu, for reasons detailed on [[YMMV/MegaManBattleNetwork the Battle Network page]].
** Dex only has the fault of not being a {{Bishonen}} and having a crush on Mayl...
** Do ''not'' mention Annetta's name to Chaud/Yai shippers. [[InternetBackdraft It won't end well.]]
* EnsembleDarkhorse:
** Princess Pride, in part for AdaptationalHeroism and in part for adding some variety to Lan's love life.
** Raika/Laika, who becomes a main character after Axess.
* {{Fanon}}: Again, ''NT Warrior'' actually encompasses ''three'' different adaptations of the original VideoGame/MegaManBattleNetwork. Fans like to mix-and-match details and canons. (Details on the YMMV page for Battle Network).
* FanPreferredCouple: The anime (especially ''Stream'') has a lot of closer-than-friends interactions between characters who don't even talk to each other in the games, resulting in a number of pairings below:
** Lan/Mayl (along with Mega Man/Roll) [[labelnote: *]]the only pairing that is carried over from the games, though Lan is clueless at first[[/labelnote]]
** Tory/Shuko
** Chaud/Yai
** Charlie/Tesla
** Laika/Princess Pride
** [=SearchMan=]/Meddy
** Ms.Yuri/Dark Miyabi (Dusk)

''Axess'' has (which may have something to do with it.
** And others
the lack of localization). Others just refuse to acknowledge anything past the original series. Some fans did not take kindly to cross fusion at all.
* FetishFuel: Ahem. Someone took a bunch of screenshots FranchiseKiller: ''Stream'', likely for its massive deviations from the original plot and setting. ''Beast'' involved an obvious attempt to cull the wayward Sentai tropes[[note]]Reducing the HenshinHero cast to only Lan, Chaud, and Laika; involving more of the Cyberworld; integrating more elements from the video games, like widespread use of Copyroids and even allowing other Navis to Beast Out; etc.[[/note]], but the series and ripped them was obviously on the way out by that point: Beast had about half as many episodes as Stream. Beast+ had a similar number of context. Warning, NSFW: [[http://zumidotexe.tumblr.com/post/21128681491/people-wonder-why-i-like-exe YOU CAN'T UNSEE IT]].episodes, but only about ten minutes each.

* MoralEventHorizon: While Duo judging planets on whether or not they should be destroyed already means he's likely crossed it well before the series began, [[spoiler: It turns out that he crossed it when he destroyed his own planet, it wasn't for any good reason either, he just decided that he had the authority to judge whether entire species have the right to exist and felt that his creators didn't.]]



* TheScrappy: Slur. Part of the hate for Stream is because of her invincibility, coupled with her prominence and how appallingly evil she is. [[spoiler: Likely because of this the season ends with [[TakeThatScrappy being]] [[FamilyUnfriendlyDeath brutally murdered]] by Bass.]]

* Complete Monster: Slur, TheDragon to BigBad Duo, is both a KnightTemplar ''and'' a CompleteMonster. Slur is fanatically devoted to exterminating all evil from the universe...where by "evil", she means everyone who doesn't agree with her master's extremely draconian concept of morality. In other words, Slur wants to kill all humans just because she doesn't like us. And unlike Duo, Slur has no sense of fair play - she deliberately "sabotages" the HumanityOnTrial plot of ''Stream'' by giving Asteroid Navis to evil people, so that Duo will be convinced that Earth doesn't deserve to live. Vicious, sadistic, and with no redeeming qualities at all, Slur might very well be the vilest ''Battle Network'' villainess ever.
