Heartwarming / MegaMan NT Warrior (2002)

aka: Mega Man NT Warrior

All the heartwarming moments from the anime adaption of Mega Man Battle Network

NT Warrior

• Near the end of episode 22, ProtoMan manages to defeat MegaMan and he and Chaud are declared winners of the N1 Grand Prix. For his part, MegaMan isn't upset at how the match turned out. Even Lan says that his loss was okay and that he is proud of his partner.
• The entirety of MegaMan's return in episode 25. After everything Lan and his friends went through, to see our Blue Bomber come back and save ProtoMan from deletion by PharaohMan was just icing on the cake. And then we got Style Change...
  • This is also the episode where it establishes Chaud and ProtoMan's later respect for our blue duo in later series, because the bickering tones down immensely.
  • Also, Roll's hug to MegaMan as soon as he's back home. He's even blushing!
• Chaud’s attitude towards Yai, while he spends most of their shared screen time harassing her, the anime frequently shows him smiling at these interactions, and his English VA makes it sound like he’s riling her up because he likes watching her go off. It’s obvious he thinks she’s adorable at some points.
  • Near the end of episode 20, Yai and Chaud become trapped together in an elevator. At one point Chaud goes out of his way to save Yai from falling down the elevator shaft, loosing many of his valuable chips in the process. While Yai feels bad about the loss, Chaud doesn't appear to hold it against her.
• Despite almost being locked up as a prize, the basis of Episode 29 SnakeMan's Survival Seven is that Lan is trying to find a way to get a designer purse for his mother. Even the spy who was sent to tell him about the rigged game comments on how he's such a kind boy to be thinking of his mother.
  • The ending of Episode 29 SnakeMan's Survival Seven is heartwarming in multiple versions:
    • In the Japanese version, Ms. Millions keeps her word and awards Lan the purse he had his eye on to give to his mother. He even gets a phone call from his mother as a thank you!
    • In the English Dub, after failing to win the purse due to Survival Seven being a trap, Lan and MegaMan's get a call revealing that Dr. Hikari sent the purse his wife wanted. Despite not being home much, he does care for his family!
    • In the Malaysian version, it's heavily implied that Chaud and ProtoMan found out about the reason Lan and MegaMan entered Survival Seven in the first place and bought the purse, sending it to Mrs. Hikari under Lan's name!
• Despite leaving World Three and quitting #1 Curry, Yahoot gives Maddy a coupon for the restaurant as a way to let her know that their door is always open.
• ProtoMan risking deletion just to save a little girl's Net Navi when the Grey Virus Beast is running amok in Net City.
• While the episode was never dubbed, Lan and friends organize a Net Navi baseball game with new classmate Kyuuta's old school to make him feel welcome.
• Lan and his friends going along with Dex's lies in order to keep up Chisao's Big Brother Worship.

Axess

• The episode "The CyberGarden of Doom" ends with Torchman's revival.
• SearchMan remembering MegaMan's words from earlier about deleting other NetNavis that are infected by dark Aura and redirecting his shot at ShadowMan.
• Raoul saving Laika from falling support beams.
• Maylu and Roll trying to Cross Fuse just to help Lan and Mega relax from most of their time Net Saving.
• Raika disobeying orders and entering the Dimensional Area with Lan in order to save his dog, Morosov.
• Episode 43 "ProtoMan Returns", Chaud and Dark ProtoMan's Battle in the Center of the Mind. All of it. Especially the final portion, when Chaud corners Dark ProtoMan on an illusionary version of the roof of his old home. Chaud starts walking over, and Dark ProtoMan, by this point desperate to keep him away, fires a shot at him. Chaud just takes it, and, despite the pain, keeps walking. Dark ProtoMan starts panicing and fires blast after blast, to little or no effect. And when Chaud emerges from the smoke, he's transformed as if he'd successfully preformed Cross Fusion. Dark ProtoMan freaks out and stabs Chaud... which does little more than crack his visor. Chaud continues to approach, and Dark ProtoMan, now trapped, starts screaming, just as the sun peaks out over the hills. In the real world, we see Lan as MegaMan, who, in spite of being strangled, gets a hand on Dark ProtoMan and starts purifying his code. And then we see what Chaud did to Dark ProtoMan, he gave him a hug. Thus turning Dark ProtoMan to dust and restoring ProtoMan's original program. Now that's friendship at it's finest!
  • When their fight first begins, Chaud and ProtoMan witness the first time they met, in which Chaud was given ProtoMan the day after his mother's funeral and the two promise to always stay together.
  Chaud: My name is Chaud. I guess you're my new Net Navi.
  ProtoMan: Nice to meet you. My name is ProtoMan. I'm at your service so if there's ever anything you need, I'm right here.
  Chaud: Wow, that's so cool! We're gonna be best friends and you'll be my Navi forever, right ProtoMan?
  ProtoMan: Definitely. You can count on me.
  Chaud: I will! Awesome!
  ProtoMan: No problem.

Stream

• Maylu finally getting to perform Cross Fusion in order to help Lan in his Net Saver battles. After being on the sidelines for most of Axess and half of Stream, she was finally able to do something she only dreamed of.
  • Also, Dex attempting to Cross Fuse before Maylu succeeded: he wanted to do it so that he could protect Maylu and help Lan.
• Jasmine and Meddy. When Jasmine lost her best friend to illness, she was given her late friend's Net Navi, Meddy. Together, the two vowed to eradicate every disease they could as a team. Meddy even had her model changed so her hair now looks like it is in a bun and she wears a nurse's cap to show her dedication to Jasmine's dream!
• Chaud calls Lan to ask questions about a case since Chaud is on loan to Netopia for an extended period of time and isn't in DenTech City much. The first thing Lan asks is if Chaud is eating enough because he looks like he lost weight and it's worrying him.
• Despite using Wily using her as an experiment growing up to unlock the secrets of Duo, Ms. Yuri still refers to Dr. Wily as her father and treats him to meals. It is clear that for all the terror he caused, he still cared for his daughter.
• Raika and Pride's interactions with each other. It is thanks to the two being on the same team as Cross Fusion members that relations between Sharo and Brightland have started to improve!
• When the members of Neo World Three have to witness their Net Navis being deleted, they are in tears. They may have been villains but it is clear that they loved their Asteroid Net Navis.
• When Duo orders the Net Navis of the Cross Fusion Team to abandon their operators and swear loyalty to him, none of them hesitate to reject his offer and tend to their hurt operators.
  • For many of them, that moment is the first and only time they ever get to interact with each other without a PET. The amount of love and friendship between the Net Navis and their operators is enough to give even Duo pause.
• When Raika returns to Sharo, his dog is the first on to greet him.

The Movie

• Raika appearing as a jet pilot and joining Chaud and Lan on the mission to rescue Dr. Hikari. It's clear that the three have become Fire-Forged Friends.
• Lan reuniting with his father. Despite the torture the man had just gone through hours before, Dr. Hikari can't help but smile when he sees his son.

Beast

• Zoanoroid FreezeMan sacrificing his own life to protect IceMan's.
• In episode 21, Iris and Barryl almost manage to break through Gregar's control on Colonel.Exe before Colonel retreats.
• In a scene that's supposed to be more comedic during episode 22, Lan jokes about Chaud's standoffishness causing a Sneeze Cut. While the first time was for comedic effect, Chaud smiles the second time as that means Lan's still alive, proving once against he cares about his best friends.
  • Dark Scyth's Adaptational Heroism and his determination to save the Net Agents' Beyondard counterparts even has him smiling more in contrast to his original personality. MegaMan and EraseMan.Exe even get along and trick the CutMan brothers just through combat alone. In fact, the Commander was the one who saved his life despite being a mercenary.
  • Even though it's not his Masa/Commander Beef, Lan and Maylu are obviously happy to see their old friend again.
• In a cooking contest, Raika proclaims that Dingo's cooking was the best.

Beast+

• Instances of Net Navis appearing in more than one location and attacking various systems are on the rise and Sharo recently received a report that MegaMan was the culprit. The first thing Raika does is call Lan to ask if he and MegaMan have been out of the country lately and believes MegaMan's innocence by Lan's words alone.
• The aftermath of defeating Cache: Lan and Megaman share a hug before MegaMan returns to his PET, all of Lan's friends are freed from Cache's prison and run out of Sci Labs to come see him, and Lan ends the series with three ^note  Or two in the original Japanese. words: "Thank you, MegaMan."
