History Characters / MegamanBattleNetwork

[[/folder]]

** Near the end of 3, [[spoiler:after realizing that he had unwittingly helped Mr. Match in causing fires around the Net and [=SciLab=] which resulted in the WWW gaining the final Tetracode and Yuichiro nearly diying from the fire, he shuts himself off from the world and did not go to school for days.]]

* WhenYouComingHomeDad: Due to his father's job, Lan rarely sees his father for more than a few days at a time. In the manga, Lan skips school at the chance to spend extra time with his dad, only to discover that his father's return was unfortunately delayed.

* TheAce: The anime does a [[AdaptationalBadass Far better job]] at showcasing his actual skill level than the games do. Where many times since his debut, he has a much easier time dispatching enemies and viruses that Mega Man and Lan struggled with and ultimately '''would''' have lost to (such as Magic Man and the giant merged virus that appeared in Episode 14). His performance throughout the [[TournamentArc N1 Grand Prix]] was almost near-flawless. Where he [[CurbStompBattle crushed]] Elec Man with no real effort, he's the only navi [[spoiler:(outside of [[PersonOfMassDestruction Pharoah Man)]]]] to have hands down the best showing against [[CoDragons Bomb Man and Stone Man]] (who effortlessly made Guts Man, Wood Man, Shark Man, and Mega himself all look like utter weaklings). He and Chaud were able to master [[LimitBreak Program Advance]] '''instantly''' [[AwesomeByAnalysis after seeing it a few times]] whereas Lan and Mega Man spent the entire remainder of the arc struggling to master it. And to top it off, Lan and Mega Man ultimately fail to beat him and Chaud in the final round.
* AchillesHeel: [=ProtoMan=] is fast, jumpy, and has lots of quick attacks that cover a lot of space, but in ''Battle Network 3'' he depends having ground to move on and has no ArmorPiercingAttack to speak of, so battle-chips that put holes in the ground and shielded obstacles like the Rook chip will cripple him.

* DistressedDamsel: Roll's been the damsel in nearly all of the main games.

* GoodCounterpart: ''Battle Network 4'' gives Roll the power to summon viruses and destroy battle chips, both hallmark abilities of [=MagicMan=].EXE=], the PreFinalBoss of the first ''Battle Network'' game, [[DownplayedTrope but the franchise never made a point of the connection]].

* AdaptationRelationshipOverhaul: Rock and Roll were brother and sister in ''VideoGame/MegaManClassic'', but their Battle Network counterparts are unrelated and in love.

* EleventhHourRanger: In ''Battle Chip Challenge'' stories that aren't Lan's, [=MegaMan=]'s Navi Chip can't be earned before the Master Tournament at the end of the main campaign. In [[TheRashomon Mayl's story]] in particular, where Lan has to sit out the TournamentArc [[ForWantOfANail due to being sick]], it can't be gained until the [=HackersNet=] Free Battle.

* AdaptationalBackstoryChange: In the games, his origin [[spoiler:was that he was a long-term product of a project to graft human DNA onto a [=NetNavi=] and was Lan's late brother Hub resurrected as his [=NetNavi=]]]. In the anime, he instead began as a basic [=NetNavi=] who would then be put out of commission for a while due to extensive battle damage from losing to [=GutsMan.EXE=] in a [=NetBattle=], only to be reformatted as a custom [=NetNavi=] after Lan received some data for it as a present from his father.
* AdaptationalBadass:
** The SuperMode Hub Style. In the second game, it is an undoubtedly powerful AllYourPowersCombined implementation of every Style Change ability, but in ''Manga/MegaManNTWarrior2001'', Hub Style turns Mega Man into a BloodKnight PersonOfMassDestruction. However, this is zigzagged due to how it gets canceled out by dark power, in contrast to how Hub's power was able to weaken Nebula Gray in the fifth game.
** Bug Style is even worse in ''Anime/MegaManNTWarrior2002''. Whereas instead of just negatively affecting some of Mega Man's attributes in favor of powering up his other ones, Bug Style here instead turns Mega Man into a full-blown ApocalypseMaiden that was not only capable of defeating the Virus-Beast with ease, and would've gone on to destroy the entire Internet world, if Lan hadn't been able to snap him back to his senses.
* AdaptedOut: [=MegaMan=]'s backstory [[spoiler: as Hub]] is ignored by both ''Anime/MegaManNTWarrior'' adaptations. The manga had a few lines {{Foreshadowing}} this development[[note]]Mayl compares Lan and Mega to real brothers, and later Miyu reveals Mega has a human soul.[[/note]], but the subject became an AbortedArc once the Hub Style arc began.

* AlwaysAccurateAttack: In ''Battle Chip Challenge'', Mega's accuracy rate is [[DownplayedTrope in the second-highest tier]].

* AssimilationBackfire:
** In ''Anime/MegaManNTWarrior'', the EldritchAbomination Grave tries to consume [=MegaMan=], which backfires when [=MegaMan=] ends up absorbing him instead--naturally, this turns [=MegaMan=] into an even bigger threat.
** A similar incident occurs in the ''NT Warrior'' manga, where the Grave virus-beast tries to consume [[SuperMode Hub Style]] [=MegaMan=], who responds by attacking him through the very same absorption channels and overpowering him.
** In the movie, ''Hikari to Yami no Program'', being forced past the GodzillaThreshold prompts [=RockMan=] to offer his ultimate program to Forte as a HeroicSacrifice in hope of defeating the EldritchAbomination Nebula Grey, an opportunity that Forte greedily seizes. [[spoiler:This FusionDance backfires nastily on Forte, who can't actually control the ultimate program and is ripped open from the inside by [=RockMan=] entering his new Forte Cross SuperMode]].
** In ''Battle Network 5'', after the FinalBoss is defeated, the BigBad tries to seize control of the situation by drowning [=MegaMan=] in fire MadeOfEvil, nearly succeeding in the process. [[spoiler:Lan desperately tries to reach out to [=MegaMan=] by entering SoulNet so he can come into direct contact, which provokes [=MegaMan=] to tap into the power of being Hub more deeply than ever before, which gives him the power to negate the evil fire of Nebula Grey outright]].

* BarrierWarrior: In ''Battle Chip Challenge'', [=MegaMan=]'s program deck almost always leads off with a choice between a barrier or aura battle-chip of some kind and an invisible battle-chip.

* BerserkButton: In volume 8 of the manga, [=MegaMan=].EXE kills [=ShadeMan=].EXE by ripping the evil vampire navi to shreds for threatening to kill Lan.

** There are a handful of [[LimitBreak Program Advances]] that feature [=MegaMan=] teaming up with another Navi. Guts Shoot with [=GutsMan=], Double Hero with [=ProtoMan=] (Triple Hero from the old Carddass card game adds [=GutsMan=]), Zero Counter with Zero.EXE in ''Network Transmission'', Crossover with [[VideoGame/{{Boktai}} Django]] in ''Battle Network 6'', and Double [=RockMan=] in ''[[VideoGame/MegaManBattleNetwork1 Operate Shooting Star]]''.

* CluelessChickMagnet: In the anime, both Roll and Meddy make not-so-subtle advances on him throughout the series. Roll even has him cosplay as a groom with her as the bride (tuxedo, wedding gown, and all) once. Yet at the same time he has no idea why the two play tug-of-war with him in the center.

* DubPersonalityChange: In the Japanese script, [=MegaMan=] is always dutiful and polite, gently reminding Lan to do his homework and referring to him with the friendly "-kun". In the English dub of the anime, Mega is significantly more quippy and snarky like a comic book ActionHero.

* FieldPowerEffect: As a ''Battle Chip Challenge'' {{NPC}}, Mega Man almost always fights on a normal stage and carries a Repair chip as his [[LimitBreak Slot-In]] in order [[DefiedTrope to neutralize any attempt to set a new field]].
* FinalBoss: In ''Battle Chip Challenge'', [=MegaMan=] is the last opponent of the main TournamentArc in every campaign that isn't Lan's or Mayl's.
* {{Foil}}:
** To Lan. [=MegaMan=] is polite, composed, and hardworking while Lan is loud, outgoing, and kinda lazy.
** In BCC, Mega and Proto are each a JackOfAllStats MagicKnight, but Mega has the edge in MB and accuracy, while Proto has the edge in HP and damage.
* FragileSpeedster: In ''Battle Chip Challenge'', where [[DownplayedTrope his hit points amount are below the median, but his dodge rate is above average]].

* GlassCannon:
** The Hub Style SuperMode gives Mega Man every ability of the style changes from ''2'' (or, in BCC, a huge capacity for chips) at the cost of half of his HP or more. In ''3'', the HP cost is treated as a bug and can be negated by the Bug Stop program. In ''6'', Hub.bat no longer has the HP penalty, but it's now a Giga Chip with a memory of 99 MB, making it harder to consistently use.
** The {{Downloadable|Content}} Hub Style in ''Battle Chip Challenge'' has fewer HitPoints than any Navi available in standard play, but his Navi-attack's cumulative damage is equal to [=GateMan=]'s, which is the strongest straightforward attack in the game. Even better, as a [[SpamAttack multi-hit attack]], the Hub Style buster [[MagikarpPower benefits exponentially]] from QuadDamage battle-chips.
* HeroesPreferSwords:
** Almost all sword battle-chips have art featuring Mega man wielding the blade in question.
** As a ''Battle Chip Challenge'' {{NPC}}, Mega Man's program-deck will always have its center column filled with swords, be they his [[SignatureMove strong chip]] Custom Sword or a selection from the [[FireIceLightning Fire Blade, Aqua Blade, Elec Blade]] set.

* JackOfAllStats: In ''Battle Chip Challenge'', Mega has a good dodge rate, great accuracy, his MB's in the second-highest tier of any non-Normal Navi, but only has mediocre hit points and a basic special attack.

* LateArrivalSpoiler: After the first game they don't even try to hide the fact that [[spoiler:he's actually Lan's brother]].
* MagicKnight: In ''Battle Chip Challenge'', where he has good all around stats and a decent Navi attack, but he also has a large amount of [[{{Mana}} MB]] for program-deck capacity.
* MageKiller:
** The Mega Buster does Add-type damage in ''Battle Chip Challenge'', which means [[ManaBurn it damages the last of the enemy's loaded battle-chips]] on contact [[PowerNullifier to destroy them and render them useless]].
** As a ''Battle Chip Challenge'' {{NPC}}, most of his offensive battle-chips do [[ManaBurn battle-chip damage]], whether it's dealing [[CriticalHit Random-type damage]] with swords, [[DamageOverTime Add All-type damage]] with the Quake series, or doing more Add-type damage with Heat Cross.

* ObliviousToLove: In ''Anime/MegaManNTWarrior'', [=MegaMan=] and Roll start out being TwiceShy with each other, but when CharacterizationMarchesOn in ''Axess'' and ''Stream'', Roll's affection becomes all the more more obvious, and [=MegaMan=] becomes all the more clueless.

* PreFinalBoss: In ''Battle Chip Challenge'', [=MegaMan=] is the {{Pre|FinalBoss}}-TrueFinalBoss of the BonusDungeon MarathonLevel in every campaign that isn't Lan's or Mayl's, appearing as #95, the last major Navi battle before the TrueFinalBoss.

* SignatureMove:
** The [[ArmCannon MegaBuster]] is his default onboard weapon, as it is for almost every Franchise/MegaMan.
** In ''VideoGame/MegaManBattleChipChallenge'', {{NPC}} [=MegaMan=]'s Strong Chip is the Custom Sword, which powers up further with every turn that passes in battle the longer he goes without using his [[LimitBreak Slot-In]] chips.
* SkillGateCharacter: In ''Battle Chip Challenge'', [=MegaMan=] has good all-around stats and the most [[{{Mana}} MB]] of any player character, giving him the most battle-chip versatility of any of them, but lacks any really outstanding traits besides.

* SquishyWizard: The {{Downloadable|Content}} Hub Style in ''Battle Chip Challenge'' has fewer HitPoints and more [[{{Mana}} MB]] than any Navi available in standard play.
* {{Superboss}}: The hidden, downloadable [=MegaMan=] in ''Battle Chip Challenge'' (using the codes from ''Battle Network 4''), who comes in two versions.
** The first version relies on a mix of hitting hard with Fighter Sword and biding for time with defensive chips like Life Aura 3 and Black Bomb--every turn he stays alive powers up his Custom Sword.
** The second version is [[SuperMode MegaMan Hub Style]], who sacrifices health but has a program deck stuffed to bursting with flashy, PurposefullyOverpowered battle-chips like Hero Sword, Big Red Wave, Meteors, and Sparker. He's even packing [[QuadDamage Navi +40]] to boost his [[SpamAttack multi-hit]] [=MegaBuster=].

** Has shades of this in the manga as Hubstyle [=MegaMan=]. He goes AxCrazy from the power until he learns to control it.
* SuperPrototype: Megaman beats newer Navis on a regular basis without ever becoming outdated. Navis explicitly can get "old" just like humans because of advancing technology. [[spoiler:This is due to two reasons. One, Lan's dad is basically the best programmer currently alive and can upgrade Megaman and, two, Megaman uses an experimental program to store more data. As Megaman is programmed off of Hub's DNA, his system has to store the entirety of the human genome plus a fair bit extra. Most Navis don't need that much space, thus, Megaman can always be upgraded and improved. Then when his PET becomes outdated, Megaman can just be moved into a new one.]]

* TimeTravel:
** Aside from being involved with [[VideoGame/MegaManStarforce Geo]] in the remake, he also time travels to the future in one sidequest in ''Star Force''.
** He also does this during Stream to stop [=ShadeMan=] from conquering the past and filling the present day with Darkloids.

* TheUnfought: He is the only non-generic ally Navi that cannot be battled in the entire series.

* AdaptationRelationshipOverhaul: Rock and Roll were brother and sister in ''VideoGame/MegaManClassic'', but their Battle Network counterparts are unrelated and in love.

* ArmCannon: Downplayed. The fourth game gives Roll an Arm-Crossbow.
* ArmoredButFrail: In ''VideoGame/MegaManBattleChipChallenge'', where Roll belongs to a class of Navis that have little in the way of hit points but have superior dodging ability to make up for it. Roll in particular embellishes this with her [[MechanicallyUnusualFighter unique ability]] to heal damage every time she uses her Navi attack.

* BrainwashedAndCrazy: During ''Anime/MegaManNTWarrior's'' N-1 Grand Prix TournamentArc, Mayl is tricked into using the devil chip, a battle-chip that lets Count Zap hack Roll's brain. He gives her an EvilCostumeSwitch, a subtle affinity for elec-element viruses, and a SuperMode that makes her whip a LightningLash. (Roll is freed when the heroes learn the hack only lasts while the chip is still in her PET; Mayl flushes it out [[WeaksauceWeakness merely by inserting a new battle-chip]]).

* CharmPerson:
** Roll's scenario in ''Battle Network 4'' indicates that she can use the Roll Charm technique to bewitch viruses to her aid.
** During her fight with [=ColorMan=] in ''Anime/MegaManNTWarrior'', Roll uses the "Roll Control" technique, inserting little heart-symbols she generates into [=ColorMan=]'s {{Assist Character}}s to turn them to her side.
** An eyecatch image in ''[[Anime/MegaManNTWarrior Rockman.EXE Stream]]'' further shows she can use her Roll Arrow as CupidsArrow (which she does to an Appley).

* CrutchCharacter: In ''VideoGame/MegaManBattleChipChallenge'', Roll is available very early and has a handy-dandy healing ability to negate any damage her high dodge rate doesn't. However, while her recovery can offset the damage of most any battle-chip in the earliest tournament, it will soon become inadequate in the face of stronger, more aggressive enemies. This will force her to rely more and more on her battle-chips, leaving her hamstrung by her diminished battle-chip capacity.

** Zigzagged with regard to her AlternateSelf. Classic Roll wasn't exactly in the thick of the action, but she was constantly present in series art and many transitional scenes between games, but in the much more plot-heavy ''Battle Network'' series, Roll.EXE occasionally has a more direct impact on the plot but much less screentime overall.
** Even in the ''BN'' series itself, Roll's presence waned over time. While she got CutscenePowerToTheMax BigDamnHeroes moments during the {{Very Definitely Final Dungeon}}s of the first two games, she and Mayl were directly sidelined in the third; she briefly had ADayInTheLimelight in the fourth game, and then she spends the whole fifth game kidnapped. In the sixth game, Lan moves to a whole new town, which relegates the whole ACDC gang to the bench. (Despite this, Roll's chips are available in every game, so she has at least ''some'' presence in each game).
** Not so much in Anime as while Dex, Gutsman, Pai and Glyde become less appearing Maylu and Roll were still part of main cast appearing through more through the anime.

* EvilCostumeSwitch: When Roll is [[BrainwashedAndCrazyn hacked]] into being TemporarilyAVillain in ''Anime/MegaManNTWarrior'', her design is changed to feature ExcessiveEvilEyeshadow, CreepyShadowedUndereyes, FemmeFatalons, and HighHeelPower and gets a WhipOfDominance to leave her DressedLikeADominatrix. Later, she gets a SuperMode that adds [=ElecMan=]'s electrical coils and a demonic tail.
* FlunkyBoss: In her ''Battle Network 4'' BossBattle, Roll can summon up to two Mettaur, Billy, [=VolGear=], or Gaia viruses to aid her in battle.
* {{Foil}}: To [=GutsMan=], her fellow ''Battle Chip Challenge'' CrutchCharacter--Roll is a defensively-oriented FragileSpeedster who relies on her superior dodge rate and recovery to negate damage outright while she chips away at the foe in turn, while [=GutsMan=] is an offensively-oriented MightyGlacier who relies on his superior bulk to endure damage while crushing opponents with [[ArmorPiercingAttack shield-breaking]] attacks.

* FragileSpeedster:
** In ''Battle Chip Challenge'', she's tied for the highest dodge rate of the main character Navis with Ring, which is also the second-highest dodge rate in the game, but both of them have less hit points than the others.
** In ''Red Sun'', Roll's scenario features a minigame that basically amounts to a game of tag--Mega has to catch Roll as she warps around him three times, which he can't do when she's spinning to start or end a warp.

* TheGlomp: While this became Mayl's signature move in the anime, Roll is technically the first to do it--she hits Mega with a flying tackle hug in the very first episode after he puts out the fire at Mayl's house. She does it other times in the series, too, like in episode 25 [[spoiler:when he is resurrected]].
* GoodCounterpart: {{Downplayed}}. Between her abilities to summon viruses and destroy battle chips, ''Battle Network 4'' managed to turn Roll into one for [=MagicMan=], the PreFinalBoss of the first ''Battle Network'', but the games don't seem to have realized it.

* LimitBreak: Roll is the centerpiece of two Program Advances: Lifesaver in ''VideoGame/MegaManBattleNetwork1'', where Roll restores [=MegaMan=] to full health and grants him about half a minute's worth of an InvincibilityPowerUp, and Big Heart in ''VideoGame/{{Mega Man Battle Network 3|White And Blue}}'', which replicates the effects of her navi chip but is five times as effective.
* LoveInterest: In ''Anime/MegaManNTWarrior'', Roll and [=MegaMan=] never officially date, but they are very close and affectionate and occasionally even TwiceShy with each other.

* NewPowersAsThePlotDemands: In ''Anime/MegaManNTWarrior'', during Roll's [=N1=] Grand Prix fight with [=ColorMan=], she improvises a version of her SignatureMove called "Roll Control" to turn [=ColorMan=]'s {{Assist Character}}s against him--this technique appeared without warning and was never used again.

* {{Superboss}}: The hidden, downloadable Roll in ''Battle Chip Challenge'' (using the code from ''Battle Network 4''), a heavily-shielded MageKiller who bombards your battle-chips with Freeze Bomb and Big Bomb while hiding behind powerful shields Sparker and Time Bomb. If you have the misfortune to face her on an Aluminum Stage, her Sparker (the nastiest MageKiller chip in her deck) will do even more damage.

* TemporarilyAVillain: During the N1 Grand Prix in the anime's first season, Maylu is tricked into using a fake battle chip that immediately subjects Roll to being BrainwashedAndCrazy and gives her an EvilCostumeSwitch.
* TookALevelInBadass:
** {{Downplayed}} regarding her navi-chip. In the first two games, Roll's navi-chip does a set amount of damage to an enemy, but starting in the third game, it starts doing [[SpamAttack weaker multi-hit]] damage that benefits substantially more from QuadDamage chips like Attack +10.
** In ''Battle Chip Challenge'' and the fourth game, she finally gets to take part in real [=NetBattles=] on-screen. Notably, Roll's first and only appearance as an opponent in the main series is as a competitor at the national level.

* UnrelatedInTheAdaptation: Unlike her classic series counterpart, Roll.EXE isn't [=MegaMan=]'s sister.

* WarmUpBoss: In ''Battle Chip Challenge'', Roll is the final opponent of the Healing Tournament in Class E, where she tests your ability to do damage that can outpace an enemy's ability to heal.
* WeakButSkilled: In ''Battle Chip Challenge'', Roll has the worst health of the main playable Navis, but she ties for first with Ring when it comes to dodging and has a totally unique healing mechanic.
* WeaksauceWeakness: After being corrupted by a Twisted in the anime, it practically superglues itself to Maylu's PET to prevent Roll from being restored. Higsby's solution to this dangerous chip? Shove a run-of-the-mill Cyclone into it and it falls right out easily.
* WhipOfDominance: When she was BrainwashedAndCrazy by a Twisted Chip in ''Anime/MegaManNTWarrior'', she became a villainess who called herself Rmpress, she started using a spiked whip both as a weapon and to denote her control of the minor viruses who [[InstantFanClub started to act like her minions to the moment the change occured]]. [[EvilCostumeSwitch Her appearance also changed]] to a {{Dominatrix}}-themed character [[note]]gaining [[CuteLittleFangs fangs]], [[HighHeelPower heels]], [[FemmeFatalons large nails]] and [[ExcessiveEvilEyeshadow eyeliner]][[/note]] and she gained a domineering and sadistic nature, complete with doing a NoblewomansLaugh as she used her whip to strike Megaman.

!!! Tropes related to [=ProtoMan=]'s appearance in ''Anime/MegaManBattleChipChallenge''

* CrutchCharacter: In ''VideoGame/MegaManBattleChipChallenge'', [=GutsMan=] is available very early and comes with lots of bulk and a powerful shield-breaking navi attack. However, his battle-chip capacity is low, which means he isn't very versatile, and he has the limitation of being a CloseRangeCombatant, which mean any field with holes on it (which start appearing in only the third round of tournaments) will cripple him.

* {{Foil}}: To Roll, his fellow ''Battle Chip Challenge'' CrutchCharacter--[=GutsMan=] is an offensively-oriented MightyGlacier who relies on his superior bulk to endure damage while crushing opponents with [[ArmorPiercingAttack shield-breaking]] attacks, while Roll is a defensively-oriented FragileSpeedster who relies on her superior dodge rate and recovery to negate damage outright while she chips away at the foe in turn.

* HoistByHisOwnPetard:
** In the main series, one of [=GutsMan=]'s talents is cracking or breaking panels on the field... which directly negates [[GroundWave Shockwave]], his own SpecialAttack.
** ''Battle Chip Challenge'' provides some meta-{{Irony}} by casting [=GutsMan=] as a CloseRangeCombatant, whose navi attack will be stymied if there are holes in the field. This is ultimately {{Inverted}} by the {{Optional|Boss}} {{Superboss}} version of [=GutsMan=] that can be unlocked with the secret code from ''Battle Network 4'', who will use battle-chips [[SituationalSword that require holes in the ground to activate]].

* MageKiller: The secret {{Optional|Boss}} {{Superboss}} version of [=GutsMan=] in ''Battle Chip Challenge'' (unlocked by a hidden code in ''Battle Network 4'') specializes in SituationalSword battle-chips that do Add All damage, which does set damage to all of an opponents' battle-chips. Only a couple of them in a row will be enough to wipe out most of a foe's chips and leave them helpless.

* SummonMagic: The {{Optional|Boss}} {{Superboss}} version of [=GutsMan=] in ''Battle Chip Challenge''[[note]]Obtained with the code hidden in ''Battle Network 4''[[/note]] uses a Program Deck built around {{Situational Sword}}s that require holes in the field. Two of these battle-chips are the powerful God Stone and Old Tree.
* {{Superboss}}:
** [=GutsMan=] Omega is an OptionalBoss in ''Battle Network 3''.
** The hidden, downloadable [=GutsMan=] in ''Battle Chip Challenge'' (using the code from ''Battle Network 4''), who {{Invoke|d}}s his own AchillesHeel--a field with holes in it--to use PurposefullyOverpowered SituationalSword MageKiller battle-chips like Geyser, Old Wood, and God Stone, which can only appear with holes in the field.

* UnskilledButStrong: In ''VideoGame/MegaManBattleChipChallenge'', [=GutsMan=] relies primarily on his superior bulk and offensive abilities at the cost of being a CloseRangeCombatant (he can't cross a field with holes in it) and diminished versatility due to his low battle-chip capacity.

* WarmUpBoss:
** [=GutsMan=] is usually one of the first boss fights in each game. His attack patterns are very simple, and one of them is often just a souped-up version of the basic Mettaur's GroundWave.
** In ''Battle Chip Challenge'', [=GutsMan=] is the final opponent of the Guts Tournament in Class E, where he tests your ability to handle big, strong opponents that do lots of damage.

** "Eugene" literally means "well-born" and is likely chosen as it sounds similar to "Ijuin". "Chaud" is the French word for "warm" or "hot", which doesn't seem to have much meaning directly for him; it may in fact be a play off of Dr. Froid, whose name means "cold" (both characters are introduced in the same chapter of the first game).

** The hidden, downloadable [=ProtoMan=] in ''Battle Chip Challenge'' (using the code from ''Battle Network 4''), who launches a hard-hitting strike against the foe's battle-chips with Freeze Bomb or Big Red Wave before immediately transitioning into a defensive CounterAttack strategy using Shadow chips, which render him immune to non-sword damage.

** When the show was {{Retool}}ed for ''Axess'', the main cast was reduced to Lan, Mayl, and Chaud, and Tory was [[DemotedToExtra regrouped]] with Ms. Mari and often Chisao or Rush into the recurring Hot Springs Club, who only show up when there's a way to squeeze a {{Hot Spring|Episode}} into the episode.

[[folder:''NT Warrior'']]
The following characters debut in ''Anime/MegaManNTWarrior''.

!! Slur.EXE
[[quoteright:350:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/slur.jpg]]
!!!''Voiced by: Creator/AkenoWatanabe (JP)''
An anime-only character, Slur is a servant of Duo, although she has a few agendas of her own regarding humankind.
----
* AmbiguousGender: While fansubs use female pronouns for the character, Slur's appearance and voice are androgynous, and there's no concrete reference to "her" gender in the Japanese version, or English official materials for that matter. It's possible that Slur was intended to be a genderless being like Serenade.
* AssholeVictim: After causing so much trouble for the heroes throughout ''Stream'' and actively trying to convince Duo that Earth should be destroyed, nobody is fazed when [[spoiler:Bass runs his arm through her torso]].
* CurbStompBattle: Every time somebody tries to fight her ends with her effortlessly beating her opponents to near death. However, [[spoiler:she is on the receiving end of one after Bass uses Nebula Grey's powers against her]].
* TheDragon: Acts as Duo's herald during ''Stream''.
* FamilyUnfriendlyDeath: [[spoiler: Bass impales her from behind with ''his own bare hand'', then crushes her head while said arm is still lodged in her chest.]]
* HumansAreBastards: And so, she thinks it is her duty to destroy them.
* InvincibleVillain: She never loses, ever. [[spoiler:At least until she's finally killed by Bass.]]
* KarmaHoudiniWarranty: After having spent pretty much the entire series being immune to pretty much everything and not being punished for [[FixingTheGame trying to rig Duo's judgement of Earth]], [[spoiler:Bass returns stronger than ever to brutally destroy her]] in Stream's final episode.'
* KnightTemplar: A particularly evil one.
* LightIsNotGood: Most of her attacks are light-based, but don't expect anything good from her.
* NighInvulnerable: Prior to [[spoiler:Bass killing her]], she appeared indestructible, surviving three Program Advances fired at her simultaneously.
* NoSell: To '''EVERYTHING'''. Even getting hit with three Program Advances at once didn't phase her.
* NotSoInvincibleAfterAll: After being featured prominently easily defeating anybody who tried to fight her [[spoiler: Stream's finale has Bass taking sweet revenge on her for an earlier defeat.]]
* NotSoWellIntentionedExtremist: Despite claiming to defend the universe, her selfish motivations boil down to culling anything and everything she deems inferior.
* RedEyesTakeWarning: Slur has red pupils and is one of the most destructive and vicious Navis in the anime.
* ShockAndAwe: Some of her attacks are electricity-based.
* TheSociopath: As bad as Duo was, she's even worse, having some standards he has regarding fair play when judging a planet, she has none if she had her way she's destroy the Earth herself.
* SuspiciouslySimilarSubstitute: To Serenade, who never appears in anime. Like Serenade, Slur is an androgynous, light-themed [=NetNavi=] of immense power who kicks Bass' ass in their first encounter. Though unlike Serenade, Slur is pure evil.
* TreacherousAdvisor: She is unconditionally loyal to Duo, but she's actively trying to sway him into deciding that humans are not worthy to live.

!! Manuela (Superintendent Manabe)
* BadassNormal: Uses a battle chip gate when Lan, Chaud, and Laika aren't around.
* RaceLift: Her BarelyChangedDubName Manuela (from ''Manabe'') implies she is of Hispanic descent. [[DownplayedTrope She has no accent or other indication of her nationality]], however.
* FairCop: A young adult woman part of the [=NetPolice=] force.

!! Chief Keifer (Kifune)
* DaChief: The head of Japan's [=NetPolice=].
* ReasonableAuthorityFigure: Doesn't want his agents recklessly putting themselves in danger like Lan blasting off into space or Lan, Chaud, and Laika confronting Regal and Nebula Gray, but overlooks it.

!! Gorou Misaki
!!!''Voiced by: Dai Matsumoto (JP), Creator/TrevorDevall (EN)''
* TheAce: A good agent of the [=NetPolice=] and chosen by Sci Lab as a test subject for cross fusion.
* BigDamnHeroes: Saves Lan from falling into a subway tunnel when [=GravityMan=] is damaging the city.
* BrainwashedAndCrazy: Becomes this after using the Dark Synchro Chip, but he does turn back to normal.
* DarkIsEvil: Regal's Dark Synchro Chip is what allowed him to cross fuse but also corrupted him.
* FallenHero: A skilled [=NetPolice=] agent to temporarily using a Dark Synchro Chip to steal.
* PutOnABus: He and Ms. Yuri fall off a bridge thanks to Dark [=ProtoMan=]. Ms. Yuri is shown to have survived, Stream shows he survived but the dub ends with ''Axess'', leaving his fate unknown for those who haven't seen the Japanese version.

!! [=PrisMan.EXE=]
!!!''Voiced by: Creator/DaisukeOno (JP), John Payne (EN)''
Gorou Misaki's [=NetNavi=].

!! Mameo
* GreenThumb: Is given Asteroid [=PlantMan=] by Slur.
* {{Irony}}: Went from hating vegetables to happily eating them.
* KarmaHoudini: One of the few Asteroid Navi operators not to get in trouble. Justified since [[ChildrenAreInnocent he's a kid]] and [=PlantMan=]'s fault for taking things too far. Granted, given how Chaud was restraining Lan, its possible he was planning on getting physical.
* PickyEater: Hates vegetables.
* MyGodWhatHaveIDone: He only wanted to avoid eating vegetables himself, not to stop others from eating them much less causing a food shortage.
* TagalongKid: The only person given an Asteroid Navi that isn't an adult.

!! Yui Hazuki
* BornUnlucky: Some things are her own fault like forgetting dropping her name tag preventing her from getting paid for the day, others are not such as a copier breaking as soon as she touches it.

Not to mention the only reason they were caught was because they decided to sneak aboard the submarine Manuela was on to better control the situation.

!! Trill.EXE
!!!''Voiced by: Creator/NorikoShitaya (JP)''

This young and childish Navi only appears in the anime. Trill is known as the Synchronizer, and has taken an immense liking to Mega Man for protecting him and Iris against the worshipers of Falzar and Gregar. Eventually Trill allows Mega Man to gain the ability to Beast-Out, thus gaining the powers of either of the two beasts, but Mega Man loses control and attacks anything in sight if Iris is not there as well.
----
* BadassAdorable: He has the ability to turn Mega Man into his beast forms from Battle Network 6 and collects Beastized viruses like toys.
* CheerfulChild: Trill often gets excited very easily. He is this whenever he sees Mega Man in front of him, and he even runs up to Mega Man and hugs him.
* ChekhovsGunman: Trill's data breaks apart at the end of Beast, forcing Rockman to absorb his data in order to become the new Synchronizer. Come the Beast+ finale, Netto and Rockman get absorbed by Cache. Cue Trill's data manifesting, freeing the two and allowing them to break free so they can fight back.

[[folder:''Battle Chip Challenge'']]
Operators and Navigators who debut in ''VideoGame/MegaManBattleChipChallenge''.

!! Mary Towa
[[quoteright:350:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/mary_0.jpg]]
A ForeignExchangeStudent from Netopia who is homestaying at Yai's place. Due to her DelicateAndSickly condition, Mary has grown up alone and isolated and is often left watching classmates run by on the sidelines. This changes when Yai, host of the Battle Chip GP, invites her to meet some friends of hers.\\
\\
While shy to start with, Mary quickly finds she likes associating with Lan and his friends. But what really strikes her is a chance encounter with Chaud, whom Lan describes as something of a friend despite them not hanging out together--the notion of being friends while not spending time together piques Mary's curiosity.\\
\\
Mary is the Operator of Ring.EXE.

* BlatantLies: When Yai asks her if she's made any friends after a week of homestay, Mary gives a half-hearted "yeah", only for Ring to complain that Mary's always all alone and it's no fun at all.
* ButNotTooForeign: Is half-Netopian and half-Electopian.
* CharacterDevelopment: At the start of her story, Mary is resigned to her fate being DelicateAndSickly and alone, but as she meets Lan and then Chaud (and as Ring keeps dragging her and Chaud together), Mary develops a curiosity about friendship (especially friendship-at-a-distance). As she participates in the tournament, Mary grows more confident and shows more initiative, and being abandoned by Ring reveals to Mary how much she really hates being alone. Ultimately, Mary decides to test her newfound confidence and her bond with Ring against Lan and [=MegaMan=].
* DelicateAndSickly: Mary has a health problem that prevents her from running and doing hard exercise; Mary and Ring are introduced at the start of Mary's story doing maintenance on her pacemaker.
* DividedWeFall: Ring is too willful for a DelicateAndSickly girl like Mary to discipline or control, which leads them to resent each other. Things appear to take a turn for the better during the postgame tournaments.
* {{Foil}}: Ring is an extroverted GoGetterGirl, while Mary is introverted and painfully shy.
* ForeignExchangeStudent: She is from Netopia, and temporarily becomes a student in Electopia's ACDC Elementary.
* FriendlessBackground: Mary's condition and resulting shyness have unfortunately denied her much opportunity to make friends. When Yai introduces Mary to Lan, Mayl, and Dex, Mary gets the giggles, as she's never talked to so many people at once, and it's made her quite happy. Later on when Dex asks her to introduce them to her Netopian friends, she explains that they are the first friends she's been able to talk to so much.
* InnerMonologue: At the start of her story, Mary is distracted by the sight of her classmates rushing off to register for the tournament; she ends up so lost in her thoughts that she doesn't notice Ring's presence until Ring shouts and frightens her.
* LongHairIsFeminine
* NotDisabledInVR: {{Downplayed}}. Mary's weak constitution means she can't be physically active, but she can net-battle just as well as anybody else.
* NotSoSimilar: When Chaud reunites Mary with Ring, Ring protests that she thought Mary liked to be alone (''i.e.'', like Chaud), which provokes Mary to declare she really hates it.
* ShipTease:
** Ring dragging Chaud and Mary together again and again gives Chaud a chance to show a softer, more sympathetic side (albeit still an emotionally-distant one) and opportunities to PetTheDog with regard to Mary.
** Ring teases Mary for being scared of the Class X tournament setting by begging an imaginary [=ProtoMan=] to come save them. When Lan and his friends arrive, Mary asks about Chaud's whereabouts; Mayl immediately asks if she ''wants'' Chaud to attend. After registering for the Class X tournament, Mary sends Chaud an e-mail to express her gratitude and wistful sadness that Chaud couldn't attend, and she officially declares herself and Chaud to be friends.
** Prior to the Class Y tournament, Chaud specifically asks Mr. Famous to explain the true purpose of the tournament to Mary, who is an outsider to the goings-on. Judging from his reactions in Class Z, he was trying to protect her by scaring her away, leaving him nonplussed when he discovers her presence and frustrated when Mr. Famous supports her participation.
* WhenYouComingHomeDad: Zigzagged. Mary has distant relationship with her very busy father--the first taste we get of his personality is a brusque e-mail explaining that his work will be finished faster than expected, and he'll be returning to Netopia soon, which means that Mary will also have to leave the country to go home and see him. On the other hand, at the end of Mary's story, she receives a second e-mail from her father explaining his already moved on to new work and can't come home, which means Mary gets to stay in Electopia with all of her new friends.
* WithFriendsLikeThese: Mary and Ring don't get along at all, despite being Op and Navi.

!! Ring.EXE
[[quoteright:306:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/ringexe.jpg]]
Mary Towa's [=NetNavi=]. Fed up with Mary's lonesome and introverted ways, Ring takes it upon herself to force Mary out of her shell. Despite supposedly trying to help her Operator, it soon becomes clear that this Navi is fueled by a desire for stimulation and celebrity.\\
\\
Not helping things is the fact that Ring has no scruples to speak of, which gives her a certain disregard for the truth....

* EleventhHourRanger: Outside of Mary's storyline, Ring's BossBattle and Navi chip are reserved for the [[BonusDungeon HackersNet]] [[MarathonLevel Free Battle]] after the main campaign.
* AlternateSelf: Ring is the ''Battle Network'' counterpart of Ring Man from ''VideoGame/MegaMan4''.
* ArmoredButFrail: Like most FragileSpeedster Navis in ''VideoGame/MegaManBattleChipChallenge'', Ring has little health but relies on her great dodge rate to survive. Ring has a little more health than Roll does, though, to make up for not having Roll's HealingFactor.
* AttackAttackAttack: In the SecretFinalCampaign, Ring will start focusing on doing major damage with M-Cannon and [=ElecBlade=], [[RedMage mixed in with]] some disruptive chips like Zap Ring and Jealousy, which will prevent enemies from using their Signature Move or [[LimitBreak Slot-In]] chips, respectively.
* BattleBoomerang: When using the Ring Boomerang, Ring flings her rings at the foe and they come flying right back.
* {{Catchphrase}}: "Leave it to Ring!" At the end of Mary's story, Yai borrows it with, "Leave it to ol' Yai!"
* ChestInsignia: A lime-green oblong ring on a white background.
* DiscoDan: Ring is decked out in a loud dancing costume.
* DividedWeFall: Ring is too willful for a DelicateAndSickly girl like Mary to discipline or control, which leads them to resent each other.
* EstablishingCharacterMoment:
** At the start of Mary's story, Ring is assisting with Mary's pacemaker when she tells Mary she needs to go to the hospital's web page and get a list of medicine. Once Ring is online, Ring beelines for the Battle Chip Grand Prix signups instead.
** Ring's ImagineSpot of what the tournament will be like demonstrates that, while Ring is happy to have Mary along for the ride, she's out for her own fun and excitement.
* {{Foil}}:
** Ring is an extroverted GoGetterGirl, while Mary is introverted and painfully shy.
** Also seen with Ring and Roll--Roll gets along well with her Operator and they have a harmonious relationship, while Ring and Mary clash frequently and Ring willfully does her own thing.
* GenderFlip: Of Ring '''Man''' of the classic series.
* GenreSavvy: As an {{NPC}}, Ring's Strong Chip is Jealousy, which destroys an opponent's slot-in chips; this locks them into their program deck and prevents them from any opporunity to turn things around if needed.
* HereWeGoAgain: Ring has not actually learned discipline or ethics by the end of Mary's story, so the story ends with Ring planning to lure Chaud out with another fake e-mail.
* IJustWantToHaveFriends: Exaggerated to a fault. Ring wants friends. Lots and lots of friends. But she doesn't really value any friends for their own sake--she easily lies to the only one she's got, her Operator Mary. Learning that Mary doesn't ''want'' to have friends (because her condition means she can't play with them and she won't be able to stay with them) frustates Ring so badly that she declares she doesn't care what happens to Mary any more and leaves.
* ImagineSpot: During her attempt to sway Mary into agreeing to the Battle Chip GP, Ring details a scene of the two of them being hailed as glamorous celebrities, "The mysterious Navi babe of unknown origin: Ring!" and "Mary, the [=NetBattling=] genius". The further caught up she gets in the imagined scenario, the less track of reality she keeps. Even Yai can only manage to awkwardly walk off while Ring is carrying on.
* ItsAllAboutMe: While she's happy to take Mary along for the ride, Ring at the start of the story is concerned primarily to make her own life more fun and exciting and filled with friends. She has no problem, for example, with lying to people to get what she wants.
* JerkassHasAPoint: As underhanded as it was for Ring to sign Mary up for the GP behind her back, Mary's too shy and retiring to have taken the initiative on her own. Mary balked at the prospect of Yai introducing her to her friends, but had a ball when they all actually met.
* LackOfEmpathy:
** Ring, who wants friends and attention, is bored and frustrated by having a lonesome Operator who is DelicateAndSickly, and has no sympathy for Mary in her condition.
** Ring will do whatever she thinks will get her what she wants, and lies both to her Operator and to Chaud and [=ProtoMan=] on multiple occasions over the course of the story. When Mary is inevitably humiliated by this behavior, Ring blows it off as no big deal, demonstrating no concern for the feelings of others.
** Ring completely fails to understand why Mary starts avoiding Lan and friends (because of the prospect of going home and never seeing them again)--Ring's idea for how to make up for not playing with Lan is for Mary to make even more friends.
** When Ring ditches Mary, she decides to go live in [=ProtoMan=]'s PET. Judging from Chaud's dialog, she appears to have lied to Chaud and claimed Mary kicked her out.
** During a meeting with Chaud and [=ProtoMan=], Ring tries to interrogate [=ProtoMan=] about how to be friends with [=MegaMan=], and Mary has to chide her for not recognizing how nervous she's making [=ProtoMan=].
* MageKiller: Ring's Navi-attack Ring Rang [[ManaBurn damages the last chip in her opponent's queue]]; being a [[SpamAttack multi-hit attack]], [[MagikarpPower it benefits exponentially]] from QuadDamage; with only a single boost, it can take enormous bites out of an opponent's program-deck each round.
* MagikarpPower: Ring's SignatureMove does less damage on its own than nearly every other starting Navi's, but as a multi-hit attack it benefits exponentially from QuadDamage battle-chips like Attack + and Navi +.
* ManipulativeBastard: Ring manipulates Chaud and Mary into several meetings by lying and sending fake emails to both of them on multiple occasions.
* NeverMyFault: Whenever {{NPC}} Ring is defeated in an Open Battle, she'll blame Mary for losing. To hear {{NPC}} Mary tell it, Ring never listens to Mary's instructions.
* NominalHero: Ring is a ManipulativeBastard with a LackOfEmpathy and a narcissistic streak who lies to anyone if it will get her what she wants. She's also a {{Face}}.
* OOCIsSeriousBusiness: While Ring is willing to talk smack even to Bass, Bass GS spooks her so badly she laughingly begs to go home. If she wins, she shakily tries to use her {{Catchphrase}}, but Mary calls her out on her trembling voice.
* PreAsskickingOneLiner: "I'll spin you upside your head!" she says, to none other than Bass himself.
* RedMage:
** Like [=ToadMan=] and [=TurboMan=], her SignatureMove [[MechanicallyUnusualFighter has a different elemental type than his own]]--Ring herself is NonElemental, but Ring-Rang demonstrates ShockAndAwe.
** As a ''Battle Chip Challenge'' {{NPC}}, Ring favors a balanced selection of direct damage and [[ManaBurn battle-chip damage]] in the early game.
* ShipperOnDeck: During her ImagineSpot, Ring especially delights in the prospect of Mary getting a boyfriend. She quickly decides Chaud is the most eligible option for her Operator.
* ShipTease: With [=ProtoMan=].
** After Mary registers for the Class X tournament and sends Chaud an e-mail, Ring adds her own postscript openly declaring that she misses him and wants to see him.
** When Ring hears that Chaud asked Mr. Famous to explain the true purpose of the post-game tournaments, Ring is convinced that it's [=ProtoMan=]'s doing and a sign of his love.
* ShockAndAwe: As an {{NPC}}, Mary and Ring start focusing on Elec chips in the post-game tournaments, using [=ZapRings=] to stun an opponent, an [=ElecBlade=] to deal heavy damage to an enemy's battle-chips, an an Aluminum Stage to boost Elec attacks.
* SignatureMove:
** Ring's onboard Navi attack is the Ring Boomerang ("[=RingRang=]" for short), a BattleBoomerang technique that strikes twice and does [[ManaBurn Add]] damage.
** As an {{NPC}}, her strong chip is Jealousy, which will destroy an enemy's [[LimitBreak Slot-In]] chips and prevent them from any attempt to turn the tables.
* TheSmurfettePrinciple: Lampshaded. When Mary meets everyone in her story, Roll and Ring are mutually pleased to discover another girl-navi.
* SpamAttack: The Ring Rang is a multi-hit move that hits twice per use--like other multi-hit attacks, it benefits exponentially from [[QuadDamage damage-increasing]] battle-chips.
* {{Superboss}}: The hidden, downloadable version of Ring (using the code from ''Battle Network 4''), who goes all-in on her MagikarpPower. She'll immediately give herself an InvincibilityPowerUp with Popup or Shadow 3, and then she'll start stacking Navi + 40 battle-chips to boost her SignatureMove.

!! Kai Todoroki ''(Kaita Todoroki)''
[[quoteright:317:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/mmbcchallengekai.jpg]]
Lan Hikari's HeroWorshipper in chief, this young boy has been idolizing his hero as far back as ''VideoGame/MegaManBattleNetwork1''--Kai [[RememberTheNewGuy was one of the onlookers trapped on the bus]] during the terrorist incident in [=DenTown=] (that's the [=ColorMan=] scenario, for those of you playing along at home).\\
\\
A year younger than Lan and thus cut off from any real opportunity to meet his hero, Kai is hyped to enter the Battle Chip GP to get a chance at finally introducing himself--and when they finally do, he soon convinces himself that Lan is on the trail of yet another criminal plot.\\
\\
Kai is the operator of [=TurboMan.EXE=].
----
* AstonishinglyAppropriateAppearance: [=TurboMan=] looks like a car, and Kai dresses like a mechanic.
* BirdsOfAFeather: Kai and [=TurboMan=] are both very similar in personality and attitude, though [=TurboMan=] is slightly more responsible and focused.
* CantCatchUp: Zigzagged. During the early part of Kai's story, Lan is consistently one whole tournament block ahead of him, but by Class A, Lan was shut out of the tournament by Chaud, letting Kai overtake him unknowingly.
* FlashbackFail: Kai's memories of Lan rescuing the bus from ''VideoGame/MegaManBattleNetwork1'' feature Lan being much more triumphant and inspiring than anyone who's played ''Battle Network 1'' will remember.
* TheGimmick: [=TurboMan=] is a walking, talking dragster, and Kai is his mechanic.
* HeroWorshipper: For Lan and [=MegaMan.EXE=] after being saved by them. He's been apparently using honorifics for Lan for half a year before the story starts, so much so that Lan has to tell him to quit it when they actually meet.
* IdiotHair: Fittingly enough for the little goofball, Kai has a massive cowlick sticking up out of the top of his head.
* InnocentlyInsensitive: He praises Yai as merely a "good kid" when she comes to fetch him and explain the tournament, despite the fact that she's the host and sponsor of the whole tournament. Yai thinks it's cute and takes it in stride.
* {{Keet}}: Excitable, energetic, impulsive, and the youngest of the ''Battle Chip Challenge'' {{Player Character}}s, being a year under Lan. Mayl explicitly describes him as like Lan's little brother.
* MirrorCharacter: The WWW Operator is childish, goofy, considers himself an aspiring hero (of the underworld), and is just as delusional about the return of the WWW as Kai is about his secret mission. Kai is driven to be a hero alongside his own hero, while the operator wants to face down his arch-enemy.
* NoSenseOfDirection: Kai and [=TurboMan=] have a dickens of a time trying to find their tournament destinations.
* RememberTheNewGuy: In ''VideoGame/MegaManBattleNetwork1'', the [=ColorMan=] scenario reaches its finale when Ms. Madd tries to punish Lan for interfering by hijacking the bus with Lan's friend Mayl on it and rigging it to explode. Kai, as it turns out, was also on that bus.
* RightForTheWrongReasons: Kai's impression that there's an evil plot is mostly his own assumption following from learning that Lan fights bad guys, an illusion Lan stokes in order to not disappoint his fan. (As it turns out, there *is* a plot and Kai was correct from the start).
* SkewedPriorities: Kai's EstablishingCharacterMoment during the flashback at the start of his story features him trapped aboard the hacked bus from ''VideoGame/MegaManBattleNetwork1'', lamenting all the video games he won't get to play.
* TheoryTunnelVision: When Kai hears from Mayl and Yai that Lan defeated the WWW and Gospel, he convinces himself that a hero like Lan's presence must mean there's an evil plot afoot. [[TheRashomon Depending on whose story is being played]], Lan either shuts it down before it gets out of hand or does the exact opposite.
* ATrueHero: By Class Y, Kai and [=TurboMan=] are champing at the bit to capture bad guys by themselves and become heroes in their own right, so Mr. Famous takes the opportunity to teach them that a real hero doesn't just capture bad guys but also protects the peace.
* VerbalTic: "Aiya!" he says, whenever he gets very excited or nervous.
* WouldHitAGirl: Discussed. In Mayl's story, Kai panics slightly, not knowing how ATrueHero acts in a competition against girl-navis. In later rounds, he's gotten over it and is ready to fight.

!! [=TurboMan.EXE=]
[[quoteright:350:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/turboexe.jpg]]
Kai's [=NetNavi=], and the race-car to his mechanic. These two BirdsOfAFeather have a shared admiration for Lan and [=MegaMan=] and aspire to be heroes just like them.\\
\\
While [=TurboMan=] isn't quite as hopped up as his Operator, he has a tendency to get ahead of himself and to give himself the odd false start.
----
* EleventhHourRanger: Outside of Kai's storyline, [=TurboMan=]'s BossBattle and Navi chip are reserved for the [[BonusDungeon HackersNet]] [[MarathonLevel Free Battle]] after the main campaign.
* AlternateSelf: [=TurboMan=] is the ''Battle Network'' counterpart of the classic Robot Master of the same name from ''VideoGame/MegaMan7''.
* ArtificialBrilliance: As an {{NPC}}, his program decks start optimizing his MageKiller strategy in the later tournaments, arranging Burner and Navi +20 to ensure he takes at least a moderate bite out of your health, then adding Grass Stage to boost the damage of those attacks even further.
* BirdsOfAFeather: Kai and [=TurboMan=] are both very similar in personality and attitude, though [=TurboMan=] is slightly more responsible and focused. Slightly.
* ChestInsignia: Its either a black tire with a silver hubcap that takes up the whole emblem or a silver steering wheel on a black background.
* CloudCuckoolandersMinder: {{Subverted}} during [=TurboMan=]'s EstablishingCharacterMoment. He chides Kai for daydreaming all day... because it prevents him from catching up to Master Lan.
* ConfusionFu: [=TurboMan=]'s in the third-highest tier of MB for non-Normal Navis, which gives him some respectable program-deck versatility.
* TheGimmick: [=TurboMan=] is a walking, talking dragster, and Kai is his mechanic.
* HeroWorshipper: He's just as devoted to Lan and [=MegaMan=] as his Operator.
* {{Irony}}: Despite being named ''[=TurboMan=]'', none of his stats optimize him for speed--his SignatureMove Turbo Wheel does only minor DamageOverTime, and his dodge rate is mediocre.
* MageKiller: [[ManaBurn Destroying enemy battle-chips]] is a centerpiece of [=TurboMan=]'s strategy as an {{NPC}}; both of his {{Signature Move}}s do All Add damage, which subjects both an opponent [[ManaBurn and all of their battle-chips]] to DamageOverTime.
* ManaBurn:
** Turbo Wheel does All Add damage to an opponent's loaded battle-chips, allowing Turbo Man to [[{{Pun}} literally]] [[ManaBurn burn]] through his enemy's program-deck.
** As an {{NPC}}, [=TurboMan=]'s strong chip is Burner, which also does All Add damage, but is twice as strong as Turbo Wheel. During the SecretFinalCampaign tournaments he'll start focusing in earnest on supporting that chip with defenses to ensure his own longevity or the Grass Stage to make Burner hit all the harder.* NoSenseOfDirection: Kai and [=TurboMan=] have a dickens of a time trying to find their tournament destinations. Apparently [=TurboMan=] is the one whose directions are being followed.
* NonElemental: ZigZagged. [=TurboMan=] himself is not affiliated with an element, but his {{Signature Move}}s do heat damage.
* PersonalityPowers: [=TurboMan=] has a hasty streak, which causes him to misjudge Yai and her navi Glyde as competitors because they happen to be the first to show up for the tournament introduction. Not only is Yai not competing, she informs the boys the actual starting location is one block over.
* PlayingWithFire:
** [=TurboMan=] himself is [[ZigZagged not affiliated with an element]], but his {{Signature Move}}s do heat damage; as an NPC, [=TurboMan=] will often use battle-chips of the same type.
** [=TurboMan=] is the first opponent in the Firework Tournament of Class B.
* PungeonMaster: [=TurboMan=]'s dialog is peppered with car puns. When Yai happens to be around, they banter puns back and forth.
* RedGreenContrast: [=TurboMan=] is predominantly red but has some green trim in places.
* RedMage:
** Like [=ToadMan=] and Ring, his SignatureMove [[MechanicallyUnusualFighter has a different elemental type than his own]]--[=TurboMan=] himself is NonElemental, but Turbo Wheel is PlayingWithFire.
** As a ''Battle Chip Challenge'' {{NPC}}, [=TurboMan=] regularly takes a bit from Column A and a bit from Column B--many of his program decks will balance between straightforward damage to the enemy and [[ManaBurn attacking their battle-chips]] rather than focusing on any particular tactic.
* SignatureMove:
** [=TurboMan=]'s navi-attack is the WeakButSkilled MageKiller Turbo Wheel.
** As an {{NPC}}, [=TurboMan=]'s strong chip is Burner, a stronger MageKiller attack.
* StoneWall: [=TurboMan=] has the second-highest number of HitPoints of any PlayerCharacter and his SignatureMove does only minor DamageOverTime, giving him [[DownplayedTrope a slight defensive orientation]] (his mediocre dodge rate precludes him from being a FragileSpeedster).
* {{Superboss}}: The hidden, downloadable version of [=TurboMan=] (using the code from ''Battle Network 4''), who specializes in heavy damage, either boosting powerful Fire chips Meteors or Fire Blade with stacked QuadDamage Fire +40 chips or using a Gaia Sword backed by a pair of Dynawaves.
* WeakButSkilled: [=TurboMan=]'s SignatureMove Turbo Wheel does the least damage of any starting navi, but it also attacks every battle-chip the target has loaded.
* VerbalTic: [=TurboMan=]'s dialog is filled with engine noises that match his mood--he goes "Vroooom!" when excited and sputters when caught off guard.

[[folder:''NT Warrior'']]
The following characters debut in ''Anime/MegaManNTWarrior''.
----
!! Slur.EXE
[[quoteright:350:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/slur.jpg]]
!!!''Voiced by: Creator/AkenoWatanabe (JP)''
An anime-only character, Slur is a servant of Duo, although she has a few agendas of her own regarding humankind.
----
* AmbiguousGender: While fansubs use female pronouns for the character, Slur's appearance and voice are androgynous, and there's no concrete reference to "her" gender in the Japanese version, or English official materials for that matter. It's possible that Slur was intended to be a genderless being like Serenade.
* AssholeVictim: After causing so much trouble for the heroes throughout ''Stream'' and actively trying to convince Duo that Earth should be destroyed, nobody is fazed when [[spoiler:Bass runs his arm through her torso]].
* CurbStompBattle: Every time somebody tries to fight her ends with her effortlessly beating her opponents to near death. However, [[spoiler:she is on the receiving end of one after Bass uses Nebula Grey's powers against her]].
* TheDragon: Acts as Duo's herald during ''Stream''.
* FamilyUnfriendlyDeath: [[spoiler: Bass impales her from behind with ''his own bare hand'', then crushes her head while said arm is still lodged in her chest.]]
* HumansAreBastards: And so, she thinks it is her duty to destroy them.
* InvincibleVillain: She never loses, ever. [[spoiler:At least until she's finally killed by Bass.]]
* KarmaHoudiniWarranty: After having spent pretty much the entire series being immune to pretty much everything and not being punished for [[FixingTheGame trying to rig Duo's judgement of Earth]], [[spoiler:Bass returns stronger than ever to brutally destroy her]] in Stream's final episode.'
* KnightTemplar: A particularly evil one.
* LightIsNotGood: Most of her attacks are light-based, but don't expect anything good from her.
* NighInvulnerable: Prior to [[spoiler:Bass killing her]], she appeared indestructible, surviving three Program Advances fired at her simultaneously.
* NoSell: To '''EVERYTHING'''. Even getting hit with three Program Advances at once didn't phase her.
* NotSoInvincibleAfterAll: After being featured prominently easily defeating anybody who tried to fight her [[spoiler: Stream's finale has Bass taking sweet revenge on her for an earlier defeat.]]

* RedEyesTakeWarning: Slur has red pupils and is one of the most destructive and vicious Navis in the anime.
* ShockAndAwe: Some of her attacks are electricity-based.
* TheSociopath: As bad as Duo was, she's even worse, having some standards he has regarding fair play when judging a planet, she has none if she had her way she's destroy the Earth herself.
* SuspiciouslySimilarSubstitute: To Serenade, who never appears in anime. Like Serenade, Slur is an androgynous, light-themed [=NetNavi=] of immense power who kicks Bass' ass in their first encounter. Though unlike Serenade, Slur is pure evil.
* TreacherousAdvisor: She is unconditionally loyal to Duo, but she's actively trying to sway him into deciding that humans are not worthy to live.

!! Manuela (Superintendent Manabe)
* BadassNormal: Uses a battle chip gate when Lan, Chaud, and Laika aren't around.

* DaChief: The head of Japan's [=NetPolice=].

* FallenHero: A skilled [=NetPolice=] agent to temporarily using a Dark Synchro Chip to steal.

Gorou Misaki's [=NetNavi=].

!! Mameo
* GreenThumb: Is given Asteroid [=PlantMan=] by Slur.
* {{Irony}}: Went from hating vegetables to happily eating them.
* KarmaHoudini: One of the few Asteroid Navi operators not to get in trouble. Justified since [[ChildrenAreInnocent he's a kid]] and [=PlantMan=]'s fault for taking things too far. Granted, given how Chaud was restraining Lan, its possible he was planning on getting physical.
* PickyEater: Hates vegetables.
* MyGodWhatHaveIDone: He only wanted to avoid eating vegetables himself, not to stop others from eating them much less causing a food shortage.
* TagalongKid: The only person given an Asteroid Navi that isn't an adult.

!! Yui Hazuki
* BornUnlucky: Some things are her own fault like forgetting dropping her name tag preventing her from getting paid for the day, others are not such as a copier breaking as soon as she touches it.

* DishingOutDirt: Given Asteroid [=StoneMan=] by Slur.
* NiceJobBreakingItHero: Uses [=StoneMan=]'s dimensional chip thinking it would get rid of him and undo the trouble he caused, not knowing it would let him attack the real world.

!! Mac and Harry
* ArsonMurderAndJaywalking: Mac worries about the [=NetPolice=] fixing their old computer since it'll reveal their names, address and favorite manga.

* EvenEvilHasStandards: They only intended to target Manuela, but [=GravityMan=] decides to attack the entire submarine from the real world putting them in danger as well.
* FatAndSkinny: Mac is skinny and Harry is fat.
* GravityMaster: Given Asteroid [=GravityMan=] by Slur.
* WeightWoe: They use [=GravityMan=]'s powers to make Manuela think she's going through this so she the lack of food and excessive amount of exercise will kill her and prevent them from investigating them when one of their computers was lost to the [=NetPolice=].
* TooDumbToLive: [[StatingTheSimpleSolution Lan asks why they didn't simply use [=GravityMan=]]] to [[DestroyTheEvidence destroy their old computer]] rather than making Manuela die from exhaustion. Not to mention the only reason they were caught was because they decided to sneak aboard the submarine Manuela was on to better control the situation.

!! Iriya

* EverythingsBetterWithSamurai: Subverted when its an arrogant and bloodthirsty alien samurai.

* PunnyName: Her name comes from the Andromeda constellation.
* StarPower: Given Asteroid [=StarMan=] by Slur.

!! Asteroid [=BombMan=]'s operator

* TooDumbToLive: Used [=BombMan=] to attack the bank he worked at and attacked other banks to make it more difficult to get caught, but got nervous and developed physical health problems and had to be hospitalized. As Lan notes, it wasn't very smart of him.

!! Creamland General
* BlowYouAway: Given Asteroid [=AirMan=] by Slur.
* EvenEvilHasStandards: Orders [=AirMan=] not to hurt Princcess Pride.
* KarmaHoudini: Depends on how you look at it. He doesn't face any actual consequences, but also dies.
* KilledOffForReal: One of the few human characters to die.
* RetiredBadass: Pride said he had to retire due to health problems, but is able to operate [=AirMan=] and able to create enough clones to make an army.
* TragicVillain: At least Laika thinks so, having been manipulated by Slur and dying.
* WellIntentionedExtremist: Only wanted to protect his country, but the less than civilized history between Creamland and Sharo makes him think Sharo is trying to take a piece of land between the two countries and destroy Creamland.

!! Kawase
* EvilFormerFriend: Calls Miyabi his old colleague.
* ExtraOreDinary: Given Asteroid [=SwordMan=] by Slur.
* {{Greed}}: Uses [=SwordMan=] to rob banks to have the money for a luxurious lifestyle.
* {{Ninja}}: Says he is one and has a relationship with Miyabi and sets fire traps in his hideout to make things more difficult for Lan and Dingo.
* PlayingWithFire: Sets up fire traps in his hideout in case anybody finds out about his robberies and personally throws one at Miyabi.

!! Trill.EXE
!!!''Voiced by: Creator/NorikoShitaya (JP)''

This young and childish Navi only appears in the anime. Trill is known as the Synchronizer, and has taken an immense liking to Mega Man for protecting him and Iris against the worshipers of Falzar and Gregar. Eventually Trill allows Mega Man to gain the ability to Beast-Out, thus gaining the powers of either of the two beasts, but Mega Man loses control and attacks anything in sight if Iris is not there as well.
----
* BadassAdorable: He has the ability to turn Mega Man into his beast forms from Battle Network 6 and collects Beastized viruses like toys.

* ChekhovsGunman: Trill's data breaks apart at the end of Beast, forcing Rockman to absorb his data in order to become the new Synchronizer. Come the Beast+ finale, Netto and Rockman get absorbed by Cache. Cue Trill's data manifesting, freeing the two and allowing them to break free so they can fight back.

A Navi taken over by the fake Zero Virus vaccine in ''Network Transmission''. Shows up as a Darkloid and Asteroid Navi in the anime.

* AdaptationalVillainy: In ''Network Transmission'', he was only fought due to the fake vaccine infecting him. In the anime, he's a Darkloid.

* CallingYourAttacks: [[TrillingRs BURRRRAITO]] [[GratuitousEnglish BIIMU!]]

* CatchPhrase: The Japanese version of the anime has him saying "Yo! Check it out!" every so often.

!! [=NeedleMan.EXE=]

[[quoteright:350:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/needleman_exe.png]]
A Navi operated by Yai's unnamed gardener. In the anime, he's operated by Ms. Yuri instead.

* AlternateSelf: [=NeedleMan=] is the ''Battle Network'' counterpart of the classic Robot Master of the same name from ''VideoGame/MegaMan3''.
* AxCrazy: At least when he's infected, as he's prone to spastic twitching throughout his boss fight and incredibly aggressive in general.
* FlatCharacter: In ''Stream'', his prickly personality is gone and he's just there to fight evil.
* GreenThumb: He's a Wood-type Navi, likely as an allusion to thorned plants like roses and brambles.
* {{Jerkass}}: He isn't just [[AstonishinglyAppropriateAppearance literally prickly]], he also acts prickly (at least while he's infected with the Zero Virus). When faced with a bouncer who won't let him into the Undernet since he isn't mean enough, [=MegaMan=] channels [=NeedleMan's=] abrasive behavior to make him change his mind.
* MyMasterRightOrWrong: In the anime he remains with Yuriko even after she turns good.
* SmugSmiler: His default expression.
* SpikesOfVillainy: Driven home with the anime's dub version calling him [=SpikeMan=]. And of course, a member of Nebula.
* SpikeShooter: His signature Needle Cannon.

!! [=SwordMan.EXE=]
!!! ''Voiced by: Creator/TetsuInada [Red]; Daisuke Kirii [Blue]; Creator/TsuguoMogami [Yellow] (JP), Creator/PaulDobson (EN)''
[[quoteright:309:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/swordman_exe.png]]
A WWW Navi guarding the way to the Life Virus in ''Network Transmission''. Appears as a Darkloid in the anime's ''Axess'' season and returns as an Asteroid Navi working for a ninja.

* AlternateSelf: [=SwordMan=] is the ''Battle Network'' counterpart of the classic Robot Master of the same name from ''VideoGame/MegaMan8''.
* AnimateInanimateObject: He's three swords working together.
* AscendedExtra: Downplayed. Only the red sword talks via the picture on the dialogue box. The yellow and blue swords are just there and used for an attack. In the anime, they can also talk and occasionally swap out with the red sword to control their body.
* {{BFS}}: All three swords are massive.
* MultipleHeadCase: Each of his swords are capable of talking and thought.
* ShockwaveStomp: His Sword Press attack is basically this.
* TechnicolorBlade: Well, not the blades, but the handles for each of his sentient sword are primary colors.

!! [=StarMan.EXE=]
!!! ''Voiced by: Creator/{{Hyosei}} (JP)''
[[quoteright:227:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/starmanexe.jpg]]
A WWW Navi selling a fake vaccine to the Zero Virus which causes said virus instead. Appears in the anime as a Darkloid during ''Axess'' and returns as an Asteroid Navi in Stream operated by a fortune teller specializing in romance.

* AlternateSelf: [=StarMan=] is the ''Battle Network'' counterpart of the classic Robot Master of the same name from ''VideoGame/MegaMan5''.
* BitchInSheepsClothing: He seems like a friendly Navi trying to fight the Zero Virus by distributing vaccines to Navis, but he's actually a WWW agent who's spreading the disease through Navi-hacking programs.
* ColonyDrop: He tries this in Stream when he misunderstands his operator's desire to create shooting stars by summoning an asteroid to wipe out Japan, or at least Den Tech City.
* DubNameChange: ''Axess''' English dub changed his name to [=NovaMan=].
* TheGreys: His design invokes this, in keeping with his astral theming.
* LightIsNotGood: He's a brightly colored navi who's primarily white and yellow, has star themed attacks and his emblem is a five pointed star which are supposed to symbolize luck. Despite all this, he works for the professor in ''Network Transmission'' selling the fake vaccine and is both a Darkloid and Asteroid Navi in the anime.
* StarPower: Its in his name after all. He drops star shaped meteors as an attack.

!! [=GravityMan.EXE=]
!!! ''Voiced by: Yoshimitsu Shimoyama (JP), Robert O Smith (EN)''
[[quoteright:350:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/gravityexe.jpg]]
A WWW Navi in ''Network Transmission''. Appears in the anime as a Darkloid and Asteroid Navi.

* AlternateSelf: [=GravityMan=] is the ''Battle Network'' counterpart of the classic Robot Master of the same name from ''VideoGame/MegaMan5''.
* AttackItsWeakPoint: You can only attack his head.
* EyesAlwaysShut: Averted in the anime occasionally.
* GravityMaster: True to his name, he can control gravity. This affects gameplay by placing Megaman on the ceiling.
* RoboSpeak: Probably the most robotic minded of all the Navis in the series.

!! [=Zero.EXE=]
[[quoteright:350:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/zero_exe_8.jpg]]
A virus/Navi hybrid of sorts in the ''Network Transmission'' game.

* AdaptationRelationshipOverhaul: Later ''Battle Network'' games introduce the {{Alternate Sel|f}}ves of Colonel and Iris, but Colonel and Iris don't seem to know he exists.
* AffablyEvil: He is polite towards Megaman, but Zero does not intend to end the Zero virus plague caused by his existence without a fight.
* AlternateSelf: [=Zero=] is the ''Battle Network'' counterpart of Zero himself from ''VideoGame/MegaManX'' and ''VideoGame/MegaManZero''.
* ChuckCunninghamSyndrome: Despite him being canonically okay in the end, he just disappears in the future games without much explanation.
* FaceDeathWithDignity: He holds nothing against Megaman for coming to delete him and, after being defeated, is quite accepting of deletion. [[spoiler:Thankfully, if you have the [=MystData=], there's no need for him to die.]]
* GrewBeyondTheirProgramming: He is a virus. Not an infected Navi, a full-blown computer virus that gained a soul. Even he's not sure how that happened, and [[TragicMonster he's not too pleased about the problems he causes just by existing]].
* HeelFaceTurn: [[spoiler: If you manage to find the [=MystData=] before you face him for the final time, Lan's dad will figure out how to turn Zero into a Navi. He also leads the authorities right to the Professor's location in the finale, turning the BittersweetEnding into a happy one.]]
* {{Irony}}: The ''Battle Network'' version of Zero looks more robotic than the {{Ridiculously Human Robot|s}} of ''VideoGame/MegaManX''--this helps distinguish him from [=ProtoMan=], who is already a SuspiciouslySimilarSubstitute for Zero.
* LargeAndInCharge: The largest humanoid Navi in the game, he's easily four times the size of [=MegaMan=]. You'd be forgiven for thinking he's the BigBad before he starts talking.
* LaserBlade: His take on [[IconicItem the Z-Saber]] is as a BladeBelowTheShoulder.
* ParadoxPerson: He's not technically a [=NetNavi=] but a virus that has [[EvolutionaryLevels evolved]] to the state of imitating one. (Much like the original, who is very similar to reploids despite having been developed independently of them).
* PutOnABus: Zero leaves to go WalkingTheEarth in the good ending of ''Network Transmission'', and is never seen again.
* TragicMonster: "I didn't ask to be born a virus."
* TyphoidMary: Just like his original counterpart, he spreads the Zero Virus just by existing.
* WholePlotReference: His story is nigh-on identical to that of the actual Zero: Created by Wily, spread a dangerous virus, fought someone intended to hunt him down, had a HeelFaceTurn, proves pivotal to the defeat of the BigBad.

!! Professor
[[quoteright:300:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/professor_6.jpg]]
The BigBad of ''VideoGame/MegaManNetworkTransmission'', who has taken it on himself to revive Wily's goal of destroying Net Society by recreating the Life Virus and starting the war Wily wanted. His backstory [[RememberTheNewGuy indicates him to have been]] Wily's assistant during the events of the first game.

* AmazingTechnicolorPopulation: Bizzarely, he's got sickly greenish-grey skin in a world where humans otherwise have completely normal skintones.
* BigBad: Of ''Network Transmission'' and most of ''Anime/MegaManNTWarrior Beast+''.
* HoistByHisOwnPetard: [[MistreatmentInducedBetrayal His view of Zero as a tool is what drove him away]] and he programmed Zero One to self destruct when defeated. Zero uses this to his advantage and teleports both of them into his airship forcing him to abandon ship with a parachute allowing the [=NetPolice=] to catch him.
* LoonyFan: He's a psychotic Wily fanboy who wants to destroy the world as revenge for his idol's defeat in ''Battle Network 1''.
* OmnicidalManiac: Like Wily, his ultimate goal is to destroy Net Society by bombarding the planet with missiles fired by hacked satelites.
* PsychopathicManchild: Despite being a brilliant scientist and criminal mastermind, The Professor is ''ridiculously'' immature. When Lan and [=MegaMan=] stand up to him, his cool demeanor instantly crumbles and he's reduced to childishly taunting them like a bully on the playground. And when he's defeated and arrested, all he can do is impotently screech and whine as he's hauled off to prison.
* SmugSnake: The Professor's a competent threat who does a good job at covering his tracks, but he's also terrible at improvising when his plans are finally compromised, and left a gaping weak spot in his security measures that allows Zero (should he survive) to send his location to law enforcement. He's completely incapable of learning from his mistakes, and starts throwing childish tantrums the second he's met with any kind of resistance.
* TrademarkFavoriteFood: In the anime. A sushi restaurant serves as a front for his virus lab and his airship resembles a sushi roll where he's shown eating some as well.
* WeUsedToBeFriends: Concept art indicates he and Yuuichirou were companions at one point in their lives.

[[folder:''Battle Chip Challenge'']]
Operators and Navigators who debut in ''VideoGame/MegaManBattleChipChallenge''.
----
!! Mary Towa
[[quoteright:350:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/mary_0.jpg]]
A ForeignExchangeStudent from Netopia who is homestaying at Yai's place. Due to her DelicateAndSickly condition, Mary has grown up alone and isolated and is often left watching classmates run by on the sidelines. This changes when Yai, host of the Battle Chip GP, invites her to meet some friends of hers.\\
\\
While shy to start with, Mary quickly finds she likes associating with Lan and his friends. But what really strikes her is a chance encounter with Chaud, whom Lan describes as something of a friend despite them not hanging out together--the notion of being friends while not spending time together piques Mary's curiosity.\\
\\
Mary is the Operator of Ring.EXE.
----
* BlatantLies: When Yai asks her if she's made any friends after a week of homestay, Mary gives a half-hearted "yeah", only for Ring to complain that Mary's always all alone and it's no fun at all.
* ButNotTooForeign: Is half-Netopian and half-Electopian.
* CharacterDevelopment: At the start of her story, Mary is resigned to her fate being DelicateAndSickly and alone, but as she meets Lan and then Chaud (and as Ring keeps dragging her and Chaud together), Mary develops a curiosity about friendship (especially friendship-at-a-distance). As she participates in the tournament, Mary grows more confident and shows more initiative, and being abandoned by Ring reveals to Mary how much she really hates being alone. Ultimately, Mary decides to test her newfound confidence and her bond with Ring against Lan and [=MegaMan=].
* DelicateAndSickly: Mary has a health problem that prevents her from running and doing hard exercise; Mary and Ring are introduced at the start of Mary's story doing maintenance on her pacemaker.
* DividedWeFall: Ring is too willful for a DelicateAndSickly girl like Mary to discipline or control, which leads them to resent each other. Things appear to take a turn for the better during the postgame tournaments.
* {{Foil}}: Ring is an extroverted GoGetterGirl, while Mary is introverted and painfully shy.
* ForeignExchangeStudent: She is from Netopia, and temporarily becomes a student in Electopia's ACDC Elementary.
* FriendlessBackground: Mary's condition and resulting shyness have unfortunately denied her much opportunity to make friends. When Yai introduces Mary to Lan, Mayl, and Dex, Mary gets the giggles, as she's never talked to so many people at once, and it's made her quite happy. Later on when Dex asks her to introduce them to her Netopian friends, she explains that they are the first friends she's been able to talk to so much.
* InnerMonologue: At the start of her story, Mary is distracted by the sight of her classmates rushing off to register for the tournament; she ends up so lost in her thoughts that she doesn't notice Ring's presence until Ring shouts and frightens her.
* LongHairIsFeminine
* NotDisabledInVR: {{Downplayed}}. Mary's weak constitution means she can't be physically active, but she can net-battle just as well as anybody else.
* NotSoSimilar: When Chaud reunites Mary with Ring, Ring protests that she thought Mary liked to be alone (''i.e.'', like Chaud), which provokes Mary to declare she really hates it.
* ShipTease:
** Ring dragging Chaud and Mary together again and again gives Chaud a chance to show a softer, more sympathetic side (albeit still an emotionally-distant one) and opportunities to PetTheDog with regard to Mary.
** Ring teases Mary for being scared of the Class X tournament setting by begging an imaginary [=ProtoMan=] to come save them. When Lan and his friends arrive, Mary asks about Chaud's whereabouts; Mayl immediately asks if she ''wants'' Chaud to attend. After registering for the Class X tournament, Mary sends Chaud an e-mail to express her gratitude and wistful sadness that Chaud couldn't attend, and she officially declares herself and Chaud to be friends.
** Prior to the Class Y tournament, Chaud specifically asks Mr. Famous to explain the true purpose of the tournament to Mary, who is an outsider to the goings-on. Judging from his reactions in Class Z, he was trying to protect her by scaring her away, leaving him nonplussed when he discovers her presence and frustrated when Mr. Famous supports her participation.
* WhenYouComingHomeDad: Zigzagged. Mary has distant relationship with her very busy father--the first taste we get of his personality is a brusque e-mail explaining that his work will be finished faster than expected, and he'll be returning to Netopia soon, which means that Mary will also have to leave the country to go home and see him. On the other hand, at the end of Mary's story, she receives a second e-mail from her father explaining his already moved on to new work and can't come home, which means Mary gets to stay in Electopia with all of her new friends.
* WithFriendsLikeThese: Mary and Ring don't get along at all, despite being Op and Navi.

!! Ring.EXE
[[quoteright:306:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/ringexe.jpg]]
Mary Towa's [=NetNavi=]. Fed up with Mary's lonesome and introverted ways, Ring takes it upon herself to force Mary out of her shell. Despite supposedly trying to help her Operator, it soon becomes clear that this Navi is fueled by a desire for stimulation and celebrity.\\
\\
Not helping things is the fact that Ring has no scruples to speak of, which gives her a certain disregard for the truth....
----
* EleventhHourRanger: Outside of Mary's storyline, Ring's BossBattle and Navi chip are reserved for the [[BonusDungeon HackersNet]] [[MarathonLevel Free Battle]] after the main campaign.
* AlternateSelf: Ring is the ''Battle Network'' counterpart of Ring Man from ''VideoGame/MegaMan4''.
* ArmoredButFrail: Like most FragileSpeedster Navis in ''VideoGame/MegaManBattleChipChallenge'', Ring has little health but relies on her great dodge rate to survive. Ring has a little more health than Roll does, though, to make up for not having Roll's HealingFactor.
* AttackAttackAttack: In the SecretFinalCampaign, Ring will start focusing on doing major damage with M-Cannon and [=ElecBlade=], [[RedMage mixed in with]] some disruptive chips like Zap Ring and Jealousy, which will prevent enemies from using their Signature Move or [[LimitBreak Slot-In]] chips, respectively.
* BattleBoomerang: When using the Ring Boomerang, Ring flings her rings at the foe and they come flying right back.
* {{Catchphrase}}: "Leave it to Ring!" At the end of Mary's story, Yai borrows it with, "Leave it to ol' Yai!"
* ChestInsignia: A lime-green oblong ring on a white background.
* DiscoDan: Ring is decked out in a loud dancing costume.
* DividedWeFall: Ring is too willful for a DelicateAndSickly girl like Mary to discipline or control, which leads them to resent each other.
* EstablishingCharacterMoment:
** At the start of Mary's story, Ring is assisting with Mary's pacemaker when she tells Mary she needs to go to the hospital's web page and get a list of medicine. Once Ring is online, Ring beelines for the Battle Chip Grand Prix signups instead.
** Ring's ImagineSpot of what the tournament will be like demonstrates that, while Ring is happy to have Mary along for the ride, she's out for her own fun and excitement.
* {{Foil}}:
** Ring is an extroverted GoGetterGirl, while Mary is introverted and painfully shy.
** Also seen with Ring and Roll--Roll gets along well with her Operator and they have a harmonious relationship, while Ring and Mary clash frequently and Ring willfully does her own thing.
* GenderFlip: Of Ring '''Man''' of the classic series.
* GenreSavvy: As an {{NPC}}, Ring's Strong Chip is Jealousy, which destroys an opponent's slot-in chips; this locks them into their program deck and prevents them from any opporunity to turn things around if needed.
* HereWeGoAgain: Ring has not actually learned discipline or ethics by the end of Mary's story, so the story ends with Ring planning to lure Chaud out with another fake e-mail.
* IJustWantToHaveFriends: Exaggerated to a fault. Ring wants friends. Lots and lots of friends. But she doesn't really value any friends for their own sake--she easily lies to the only one she's got, her Operator Mary. Learning that Mary doesn't ''want'' to have friends (because her condition means she can't play with them and she won't be able to stay with them) frustates Ring so badly that she declares she doesn't care what happens to Mary any more and leaves.
* ImagineSpot: During her attempt to sway Mary into agreeing to the Battle Chip GP, Ring details a scene of the two of them being hailed as glamorous celebrities, "The mysterious Navi babe of unknown origin: Ring!" and "Mary, the [=NetBattling=] genius". The further caught up she gets in the imagined scenario, the less track of reality she keeps. Even Yai can only manage to awkwardly walk off while Ring is carrying on.
* ItsAllAboutMe: While she's happy to take Mary along for the ride, Ring at the start of the story is concerned primarily to make her own life more fun and exciting and filled with friends. She has no problem, for example, with lying to people to get what she wants.
* JerkassHasAPoint: As underhanded as it was for Ring to sign Mary up for the GP behind her back, Mary's too shy and retiring to have taken the initiative on her own. Mary balked at the prospect of Yai introducing her to her friends, but had a ball when they all actually met.
* LackOfEmpathy:
** Ring, who wants friends and attention, is bored and frustrated by having a lonesome Operator who is DelicateAndSickly, and has no sympathy for Mary in her condition.
** Ring will do whatever she thinks will get her what she wants, and lies both to her Operator and to Chaud and [=ProtoMan=] on multiple occasions over the course of the story. When Mary is inevitably humiliated by this behavior, Ring blows it off as no big deal, demonstrating no concern for the feelings of others.
** Ring completely fails to understand why Mary starts avoiding Lan and friends (because of the prospect of going home and never seeing them again)--Ring's idea for how to make up for not playing with Lan is for Mary to make even more friends.
** When Ring ditches Mary, she decides to go live in [=ProtoMan=]'s PET. Judging from Chaud's dialog, she appears to have lied to Chaud and claimed Mary kicked her out.
** During a meeting with Chaud and [=ProtoMan=], Ring tries to interrogate [=ProtoMan=] about how to be friends with [=MegaMan=], and Mary has to chide her for not recognizing how nervous she's making [=ProtoMan=].
* MageKiller: Ring's Navi-attack Ring Rang [[ManaBurn damages the last chip in her opponent's queue]]; being a [[SpamAttack multi-hit attack]], [[MagikarpPower it benefits exponentially]] from QuadDamage; with only a single boost, it can take enormous bites out of an opponent's program-deck each round.
* MagikarpPower: Ring's SignatureMove does less damage on its own than nearly every other starting Navi's, but as a multi-hit attack it benefits exponentially from QuadDamage battle-chips like Attack + and Navi +.
* ManipulativeBastard: Ring manipulates Chaud and Mary into several meetings by lying and sending fake emails to both of them on multiple occasions.
* NeverMyFault: Whenever {{NPC}} Ring is defeated in an Open Battle, she'll blame Mary for losing. To hear {{NPC}} Mary tell it, Ring never listens to Mary's instructions.
* NominalHero: Ring is a ManipulativeBastard with a LackOfEmpathy and a narcissistic streak who lies to anyone if it will get her what she wants. She's also a {{Face}}.
* OOCIsSeriousBusiness: While Ring is willing to talk smack even to Bass, Bass GS spooks her so badly she laughingly begs to go home. If she wins, she shakily tries to use her {{Catchphrase}}, but Mary calls her out on her trembling voice.
* PreAsskickingOneLiner: "I'll spin you upside your head!" she says, to none other than Bass himself.
* RedMage:
** Like [=ToadMan=] and [=TurboMan=], her SignatureMove [[MechanicallyUnusualFighter has a different elemental type than his own]]--Ring herself is NonElemental, but Ring-Rang demonstrates ShockAndAwe.
** As a ''Battle Chip Challenge'' {{NPC}}, Ring favors a balanced selection of direct damage and [[ManaBurn battle-chip damage]] in the early game.
* ShipperOnDeck: During her ImagineSpot, Ring especially delights in the prospect of Mary getting a boyfriend. She quickly decides Chaud is the most eligible option for her Operator.
* ShipTease: With [=ProtoMan=].
** After Mary registers for the Class X tournament and sends Chaud an e-mail, Ring adds her own postscript openly declaring that she misses him and wants to see him.
** When Ring hears that Chaud asked Mr. Famous to explain the true purpose of the post-game tournaments, Ring is convinced that it's [=ProtoMan=]'s doing and a sign of his love.
* ShockAndAwe: As an {{NPC}}, Mary and Ring start focusing on Elec chips in the post-game tournaments, using [=ZapRings=] to stun an opponent, an [=ElecBlade=] to deal heavy damage to an enemy's battle-chips, an an Aluminum Stage to boost Elec attacks.
* SignatureMove:
** Ring's onboard Navi attack is the Ring Boomerang ("[=RingRang=]" for short), a BattleBoomerang technique that strikes twice and does [[ManaBurn Add]] damage.
** As an {{NPC}}, her strong chip is Jealousy, which will destroy an enemy's [[LimitBreak Slot-In]] chips and prevent them from any attempt to turn the tables.
* TheSmurfettePrinciple: Lampshaded. When Mary meets everyone in her story, Roll and Ring are mutually pleased to discover another girl-navi.
* SpamAttack: The Ring Rang is a multi-hit move that hits twice per use--like other multi-hit attacks, it benefits exponentially from [[QuadDamage damage-increasing]] battle-chips.
* {{Superboss}}: The hidden, downloadable version of Ring (using the code from ''Battle Network 4''), who goes all-in on her MagikarpPower. She'll immediately give herself an InvincibilityPowerUp with Popup or Shadow 3, and then she'll start stacking Navi + 40 battle-chips to boost her SignatureMove.

!! Kai Todoroki ''(Kaita Todoroki)''
[[quoteright:317:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/mmbcchallengekai.jpg]]
Lan Hikari's HeroWorshipper in chief, this young boy has been idolizing his hero as far back as ''VideoGame/MegaManBattleNetwork1''--Kai [[RememberTheNewGuy was one of the onlookers trapped on the bus]] during the terrorist incident in [=DenTown=] (that's the [=ColorMan=] scenario, for those of you playing along at home).\\
\\
A year younger than Lan and thus cut off from any real opportunity to meet his hero, Kai is hyped to enter the Battle Chip GP to get a chance at finally introducing himself--and when they finally do, he soon convinces himself that Lan is on the trail of yet another criminal plot.\\
\\
Kai is the operator of [=TurboMan.EXE=].
----
* AstonishinglyAppropriateAppearance: [=TurboMan=] looks like a car, and Kai dresses like a mechanic.
* BirdsOfAFeather: Kai and [=TurboMan=] are both very similar in personality and attitude, though [=TurboMan=] is slightly more responsible and focused.
* CantCatchUp: Zigzagged. During the early part of Kai's story, Lan is consistently one whole tournament block ahead of him, but by Class A, Lan was shut out of the tournament by Chaud, letting Kai overtake him unknowingly.
* FlashbackFail: Kai's memories of Lan rescuing the bus from ''VideoGame/MegaManBattleNetwork1'' feature Lan being much more triumphant and inspiring than anyone who's played ''Battle Network 1'' will remember.
* TheGimmick: [=TurboMan=] is a walking, talking dragster, and Kai is his mechanic.
* HeroWorshipper: For Lan and [=MegaMan.EXE=] after being saved by them. He's been apparently using honorifics for Lan for half a year before the story starts, so much so that Lan has to tell him to quit it when they actually meet.
* IdiotHair: Fittingly enough for the little goofball, Kai has a massive cowlick sticking up out of the top of his head.
* InnocentlyInsensitive: He praises Yai as merely a "good kid" when she comes to fetch him and explain the tournament, despite the fact that she's the host and sponsor of the whole tournament. Yai thinks it's cute and takes it in stride.
* {{Keet}}: Excitable, energetic, impulsive, and the youngest of the ''Battle Chip Challenge'' {{Player Character}}s, being a year under Lan. Mayl explicitly describes him as like Lan's little brother.
* MirrorCharacter: The WWW Operator is childish, goofy, considers himself an aspiring hero (of the underworld), and is just as delusional about the return of the WWW as Kai is about his secret mission. Kai is driven to be a hero alongside his own hero, while the operator wants to face down his arch-enemy.
* NoSenseOfDirection: Kai and [=TurboMan=] have a dickens of a time trying to find their tournament destinations.
* RememberTheNewGuy: In ''VideoGame/MegaManBattleNetwork1'', the [=ColorMan=] scenario reaches its finale when Ms. Madd tries to punish Lan for interfering by hijacking the bus with Lan's friend Mayl on it and rigging it to explode. Kai, as it turns out, was also on that bus.
* RightForTheWrongReasons: Kai's impression that there's an evil plot is mostly his own assumption following from learning that Lan fights bad guys, an illusion Lan stokes in order to not disappoint his fan. (As it turns out, there *is* a plot and Kai was correct from the start).
* SkewedPriorities: Kai's EstablishingCharacterMoment during the flashback at the start of his story features him trapped aboard the hacked bus from ''VideoGame/MegaManBattleNetwork1'', lamenting all the video games he won't get to play.
* TheoryTunnelVision: When Kai hears from Mayl and Yai that Lan defeated the WWW and Gospel, he convinces himself that a hero like Lan's presence must mean there's an evil plot afoot. [[TheRashomon Depending on whose story is being played]], Lan either shuts it down before it gets out of hand or does the exact opposite.
* ATrueHero: By Class Y, Kai and [=TurboMan=] are champing at the bit to capture bad guys by themselves and become heroes in their own right, so Mr. Famous takes the opportunity to teach them that a real hero doesn't just capture bad guys but also protects the peace.
* VerbalTic: "Aiya!" he says, whenever he gets very excited or nervous.
* WouldHitAGirl: Discussed. In Mayl's story, Kai panics slightly, not knowing how ATrueHero acts in a competition against girl-navis. In later rounds, he's gotten over it and is ready to fight.

!! [=TurboMan.EXE=]
[[quoteright:350:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/turboexe.jpg]]
Kai's [=NetNavi=], and the race-car to his mechanic. These two BirdsOfAFeather have a shared admiration for Lan and [=MegaMan=] and aspire to be heroes just like them.\\
\\
While [=TurboMan=] isn't quite as hopped up as his Operator, he has a tendency to get ahead of himself and to give himself the odd false start.
----
* EleventhHourRanger: Outside of Kai's storyline, [=TurboMan=]'s BossBattle and Navi chip are reserved for the [[BonusDungeon HackersNet]] [[MarathonLevel Free Battle]] after the main campaign.
* AlternateSelf: [=TurboMan=] is the ''Battle Network'' counterpart of the classic Robot Master of the same name from ''VideoGame/MegaMan7''.
* ArtificialBrilliance: As an {{NPC}}, his program decks start optimizing his MageKiller strategy in the later tournaments, arranging Burner and Navi +20 to ensure he takes at least a moderate bite out of your health, then adding Grass Stage to boost the damage of those attacks even further.
* BirdsOfAFeather: Kai and [=TurboMan=] are both very similar in personality and attitude, though [=TurboMan=] is slightly more responsible and focused. Slightly.
* ChestInsignia: Its either a black tire with a silver hubcap that takes up the whole emblem or a silver steering wheel on a black background.
* CloudCuckoolandersMinder: {{Subverted}} during [=TurboMan=]'s EstablishingCharacterMoment. He chides Kai for daydreaming all day... because it prevents him from catching up to Master Lan.
* ConfusionFu: [=TurboMan=]'s in the third-highest tier of MB for non-Normal Navis, which gives him some respectable program-deck versatility.
* TheGimmick: [=TurboMan=] is a walking, talking dragster, and Kai is his mechanic.
* HeroWorshipper: He's just as devoted to Lan and [=MegaMan=] as his Operator.
* {{Irony}}: Despite being named ''[=TurboMan=]'', none of his stats optimize him for speed--his SignatureMove Turbo Wheel does only minor DamageOverTime, and his dodge rate is mediocre.
* MageKiller: [[ManaBurn Destroying enemy battle-chips]] is a centerpiece of [=TurboMan=]'s strategy as an {{NPC}}; both of his {{Signature Move}}s do All Add damage, which subjects both an opponent [[ManaBurn and all of their battle-chips]] to DamageOverTime.
* ManaBurn:
** Turbo Wheel does All Add damage to an opponent's loaded battle-chips, allowing Turbo Man to [[{{Pun}} literally]] [[ManaBurn burn]] through his enemy's program-deck.
** As an {{NPC}}, [=TurboMan=]'s strong chip is Burner, which also does All Add damage, but is twice as strong as Turbo Wheel. During the SecretFinalCampaign tournaments he'll start focusing in earnest on supporting that chip with defenses to ensure his own longevity or the Grass Stage to make Burner hit all the harder.* NoSenseOfDirection: Kai and [=TurboMan=] have a dickens of a time trying to find their tournament destinations. Apparently [=TurboMan=] is the one whose directions are being followed.
* NonElemental: ZigZagged. [=TurboMan=] himself is not affiliated with an element, but his {{Signature Move}}s do heat damage.
* PersonalityPowers: [=TurboMan=] has a hasty streak, which causes him to misjudge Yai and her navi Glyde as competitors because they happen to be the first to show up for the tournament introduction. Not only is Yai not competing, she informs the boys the actual starting location is one block over.
* PlayingWithFire:
** [=TurboMan=] himself is [[ZigZagged not affiliated with an element]], but his {{Signature Move}}s do heat damage; as an NPC, [=TurboMan=] will often use battle-chips of the same type.
** [=TurboMan=] is the first opponent in the Firework Tournament of Class B.
* PungeonMaster: [=TurboMan=]'s dialog is peppered with car puns. When Yai happens to be around, they banter puns back and forth.
* RedGreenContrast: [=TurboMan=] is predominantly red but has some green trim in places.
* RedMage:
** Like [=ToadMan=] and Ring, his SignatureMove [[MechanicallyUnusualFighter has a different elemental type than his own]]--[=TurboMan=] himself is NonElemental, but Turbo Wheel is PlayingWithFire.
** As a ''Battle Chip Challenge'' {{NPC}}, [=TurboMan=] regularly takes a bit from Column A and a bit from Column B--many of his program decks will balance between straightforward damage to the enemy and [[ManaBurn attacking their battle-chips]] rather than focusing on any particular tactic.
* SignatureMove:
** [=TurboMan=]'s navi-attack is the WeakButSkilled MageKiller Turbo Wheel.
** As an {{NPC}}, [=TurboMan=]'s strong chip is Burner, a stronger MageKiller attack.
* StoneWall: [=TurboMan=] has the second-highest number of HitPoints of any PlayerCharacter and his SignatureMove does only minor DamageOverTime, giving him [[DownplayedTrope a slight defensive orientation]] (his mediocre dodge rate precludes him from being a FragileSpeedster).
* {{Superboss}}: The hidden, downloadable version of [=TurboMan=] (using the code from ''Battle Network 4''), who specializes in heavy damage, either boosting powerful Fire chips Meteors or Fire Blade with stacked QuadDamage Fire +40 chips or using a Gaia Sword backed by a pair of Dynawaves.
* WeakButSkilled: [=TurboMan=]'s SignatureMove Turbo Wheel does the least damage of any starting navi, but it also attacks every battle-chip the target has loaded.
* VerbalTic: [=TurboMan=]'s dialog is filled with engine noises that match his mood--he goes "Vroooom!" when excited and sputters when caught off guard.

[[folder:''NT Warrior'']]
The following characters debut in ''Anime/MegaManNTWarrior''.
----
!! Slur.EXE
[[quoteright:350:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/slur.jpg]]
!!!''Voiced by: Creator/AkenoWatanabe (JP)''
An anime-only character, Slur is a servant of Duo, although she has a few agendas of her own regarding humankind.
----
* AmbiguousGender: While fansubs use female pronouns for the character, Slur's appearance and voice are androgynous, and there's no concrete reference to "her" gender in the Japanese version, or English official materials for that matter. It's possible that Slur was intended to be a genderless being like Serenade.
* AssholeVictim: After causing so much trouble for the heroes throughout ''Stream'' and actively trying to convince Duo that Earth should be destroyed, nobody is fazed when [[spoiler:Bass runs his arm through her torso]].
* CurbStompBattle: Every time somebody tries to fight her ends with her effortlessly beating her opponents to near death. However, [[spoiler:she is on the receiving end of one after Bass uses Nebula Grey's powers against her]].
* TheDragon: Acts as Duo's herald during ''Stream''.
* FamilyUnfriendlyDeath: [[spoiler: Bass impales her from behind with ''his own bare hand'', then crushes her head while said arm is still lodged in her chest.]]
* HumansAreBastards: And so, she thinks it is her duty to destroy them.
* InvincibleVillain: She never loses, ever. [[spoiler:At least until she's finally killed by Bass.]]
* KarmaHoudiniWarranty: After having spent pretty much the entire series being immune to pretty much everything and not being punished for [[FixingTheGame trying to rig Duo's judgement of Earth]], [[spoiler:Bass returns stronger than ever to brutally destroy her]] in Stream's final episode.'
* KnightTemplar: A particularly evil one.
* LightIsNotGood: Most of her attacks are light-based, but don't expect anything good from her.
* NighInvulnerable: Prior to [[spoiler:Bass killing her]], she appeared indestructible, surviving three Program Advances fired at her simultaneously.
* NoSell: To '''EVERYTHING'''. Even getting hit with three Program Advances at once didn't phase her.
* NotSoInvincibleAfterAll: After being featured prominently easily defeating anybody who tried to fight her [[spoiler: Stream's finale has Bass taking sweet revenge on her for an earlier defeat.]]
* NotSoWellIntentionedExtremist: Despite claiming to defend the universe, her selfish motivations boil down to culling anything and everything she deems inferior.
* RedEyesTakeWarning: Slur has red pupils and is one of the most destructive and vicious Navis in the anime.
* ShockAndAwe: Some of her attacks are electricity-based.
* TheSociopath: As bad as Duo was, she's even worse, having some standards he has regarding fair play when judging a planet, she has none if she had her way she's destroy the Earth herself.
* SuspiciouslySimilarSubstitute: To Serenade, who never appears in anime. Like Serenade, Slur is an androgynous, light-themed [=NetNavi=] of immense power who kicks Bass' ass in their first encounter. Though unlike Serenade, Slur is pure evil.
* TreacherousAdvisor: She is unconditionally loyal to Duo, but she's actively trying to sway him into deciding that humans are not worthy to live.

!! Manuela (Superintendent Manabe)
* BadassNormal: Uses a battle chip gate when Lan, Chaud, and Laika aren't around.
* RaceLift: Her BarelyChangedDubName Manuela (from ''Manabe'') implies she is of Hispanic descent. [[DownplayedTrope She has no accent or other indication of her nationality]], however.
* FairCop: A young adult woman part of the [=NetPolice=] force.

!! Chief Keifer (Kifune)
* DaChief: The head of Japan's [=NetPolice=].
* ReasonableAuthorityFigure: Doesn't want his agents recklessly putting themselves in danger like Lan blasting off into space or Lan, Chaud, and Laika confronting Regal and Nebula Gray, but overlooks it.

!! Gorou Misaki
!!!''Voiced by: Dai Matsumoto (JP), Creator/TrevorDevall (EN)''
* TheAce: A good agent of the [=NetPolice=] and chosen by Sci Lab as a test subject for cross fusion.
* BigDamnHeroes: Saves Lan from falling into a subway tunnel when [=GravityMan=] is damaging the city.
* BrainwashedAndCrazy: Becomes this after using the Dark Synchro Chip, but he does turn back to normal.
* DarkIsEvil: Regal's Dark Synchro Chip is what allowed him to cross fuse but also corrupted him.
* FallenHero: A skilled [=NetPolice=] agent to temporarily using a Dark Synchro Chip to steal.
* PutOnABus: He and Ms. Yuri fall off a bridge thanks to Dark [=ProtoMan=]. Ms. Yuri is shown to have survived, Stream shows he survived but the dub ends with ''Axess'', leaving his fate unknown for those who haven't seen the Japanese version.

!! [=PrisMan.EXE=]
!!!''Voiced by: Creator/DaisukeOno (JP), John Payne (EN)''
Gorou Misaki's [=NetNavi=].

!! Mameo
* GreenThumb: Is given Asteroid [=PlantMan=] by Slur.
* {{Irony}}: Went from hating vegetables to happily eating them.
* KarmaHoudini: One of the few Asteroid Navi operators not to get in trouble. Justified since [[ChildrenAreInnocent he's a kid]] and [=PlantMan=]'s fault for taking things too far. Granted, given how Chaud was restraining Lan, its possible he was planning on getting physical.
* PickyEater: Hates vegetables.
* MyGodWhatHaveIDone: He only wanted to avoid eating vegetables himself, not to stop others from eating them much less causing a food shortage.
* TagalongKid: The only person given an Asteroid Navi that isn't an adult.

!! Yui Hazuki
* BornUnlucky: Some things are her own fault like forgetting dropping her name tag preventing her from getting paid for the day, others are not such as a copier breaking as soon as she touches it.
* CuteClumsyGirl: Almost nothing goes her way.
* DishingOutDirt: Given Asteroid [=StoneMan=] by Slur.
* NiceJobBreakingItHero: Uses [=StoneMan=]'s dimensional chip thinking it would get rid of him and undo the trouble he caused, not knowing it would let him attack the real world.
* TakenForGranite: Temporarily had this ability thanks to Asteroid [=StoneMan=].

!! Mac and Harry
* ArsonMurderAndJaywalking: Mac worries about the [=NetPolice=] fixing their old computer since it'll reveal their names, address and favorite manga.
* CaptainErsatz: Two clones of Wario and Waluigi, though Mac (the Waluigi) is older and in charge of their plans.
* EvenEvilHasStandards: They only intended to target Manuela, but [=GravityMan=] decides to attack the entire submarine from the real world putting them in danger as well.
* FatAndSkinny: Mac is skinny and Harry is fat.
* GravityMaster: Given Asteroid [=GravityMan=] by Slur.
* WeightWoe: They use [=GravityMan=]'s powers to make Manuela think she's going through this so she the lack of food and excessive amount of exercise will kill her and prevent them from investigating them when one of their computers was lost to the [=NetPolice=].
* TooDumbToLive: [[StatingTheSimpleSolution Lan asks why they didn't simply use [=GravityMan=]]] to [[DestroyTheEvidence destroy their old computer]] rather than making Manuela die from exhaustion. Not to mention the only reason they were caught was because they decided to sneak aboard the submarine Manuela was on to better control the situation.

!! Iriya
* EvenEvilHasStandards: Is content with beating Laika in a fencing contest and stealing Japanese weapons, but goes against [=YamatoMan=]'s idea of killing the enemy to achieve victory.
* EverythingsBetterWithSamurai: Subverted when its an arrogant and bloodthirsty alien samurai.
* EvilFormerFriend: Downplayed. He's Laika's friend, but eventually regrets his actions and tries to protect him from [=YamatoMan=] and when immediately overpowered, Laika returns the favor and forgives him.
* KarmaHoudini: He's not shown suffering any real consequences, however given his regret its possible Laika arranged a more lenient punishment for him.
* {{Samurai}}: Given Asteroid [=YamatoMan=] by Slur.
* WickedCultured: He's interested in Japanese culture, mainly their weapons from the samurai/ninja era.

!! Ken
* BittersweetEnding: He gets arrested for his car thefts, but is reunited with his girlfriend and the mob boss who kidnapped her is arrested as well.
* EvenEvilHasLovedOnes: Has a girlfriend he tries to protect when she's taken hostage by his mob boss.
* ShockAndAwe: Given Asteroid [=BrightMan=] by Slur.

!! Rat
* AnimalMotifs: His name is Rat and has an overbite sticking out of his mouth.
* ThisIsADrill: Given Asteroid [=DrillMan=] by Slur.

!! Domon Guy
* BrainwashedAndCrazy: Inflicts this on [=NapalmMan=] when he decides he's rather be with Fyrefox and make people happy by creating fireworks instead of helping Domon with his crimes.
* StuffBlowingUp: Given Asteroid [=NapalmMan=] by Slur until he wandered into Fyrefox's P.E.T.

!! Romeda Ando
* FortuneTeller: She is one who specializes in helping women with love issues.
* PunnyName: Her name comes from the Andromeda constellation.
* StarPower: Given Asteroid [=StarMan=] by Slur.

!! Asteroid [=BombMan=]'s operator
* NoNameGiven: The only Asteroid Navi operator who doesn't have a name. [=BombMan=] simply refers to him as "operator".
* StuffBlowingUp: Given Asteroid [=BombMan=] by Slur.
* TooDumbToLive: Used [=BombMan=] to attack the bank he worked at and attacked other banks to make it more difficult to get caught, but got nervous and developed physical health problems and had to be hospitalized. As Lan notes, it wasn't very smart of him.

!! Creamland General
* BlowYouAway: Given Asteroid [=AirMan=] by Slur.
* EvenEvilHasStandards: Orders [=AirMan=] not to hurt Princcess Pride.
* KarmaHoudini: Depends on how you look at it. He doesn't face any actual consequences, but also dies.
* KilledOffForReal: One of the few human characters to die.
* RetiredBadass: Pride said he had to retire due to health problems, but is able to operate [=AirMan=] and able to create enough clones to make an army.
* TragicVillain: At least Laika thinks so, having been manipulated by Slur and dying.
* WellIntentionedExtremist: Only wanted to protect his country, but the less than civilized history between Creamland and Sharo makes him think Sharo is trying to take a piece of land between the two countries and destroy Creamland.

!! Kawase
* EvilFormerFriend: Calls Miyabi his old colleague.
* ExtraOreDinary: Given Asteroid [=SwordMan=] by Slur.
* {{Greed}}: Uses [=SwordMan=] to rob banks to have the money for a luxurious lifestyle.
* {{Ninja}}: Says he is one and has a relationship with Miyabi and sets fire traps in his hideout to make things more difficult for Lan and Dingo.
* PlayingWithFire: Sets up fire traps in his hideout in case anybody finds out about his robberies and personally throws one at Miyabi.

!! Trill.EXE
!!!''Voiced by: Creator/NorikoShitaya (JP)''

This young and childish Navi only appears in the anime. Trill is known as the Synchronizer, and has taken an immense liking to Mega Man for protecting him and Iris against the worshipers of Falzar and Gregar. Eventually Trill allows Mega Man to gain the ability to Beast-Out, thus gaining the powers of either of the two beasts, but Mega Man loses control and attacks anything in sight if Iris is not there as well.
----
* BadassAdorable: He has the ability to turn Mega Man into his beast forms from Battle Network 6 and collects Beastized viruses like toys.
* CheerfulChild: Trill often gets excited very easily. He is this whenever he sees Mega Man in front of him, and he even runs up to Mega Man and hugs him.
* ChekhovsGunman: Trill's data breaks apart at the end of Beast, forcing Rockman to absorb his data in order to become the new Synchronizer. Come the Beast+ finale, Netto and Rockman get absorbed by Cache. Cue Trill's data manifesting, freeing the two and allowing them to break free so they can fight back.
[[/folder]]

* BattleBoomerang: When using the Ring Boomerang, Ring flings her rings at the foe and they come flying right back. This attack strikes twice.

** {{Downplayed}} with Ring and Roll, who don't interact much--Roll gets along well with her Operator and they have a harmonious relationship, while Ring and Mary clash frequently and Ring willfully does her own thing.

** Ring will do whatever she thinks will get her what she wants, and lies to her Operator and to Chaud and [=ProtoMan=] on multiple occasions over the course of the story. When Mary is inevitably humiliated by this behavior, Ring blows it off as no big deal, demonstrating no concern for the feelings of others.

* ShockAndAwe: As an {{NPC}}, Mary and Ring start focusing on Elec chips in the post-game tournaments, using [=ZapRings=] to stun an opponent, an [=ElecBlade=] to deal heavy damage to an enemy's battle-chips, an an Aluminum Stage to bost Elec attacks.
* SignatureMove: The Ring Boomerang, a BattleBoomerang technique that strikes twice.

* SpamAttack: The Ring Boomerang is a multi-hit move that hits twice in one round.

* {{Irony}}: [=TurboMan=]'s SignatureMove is best-suited for a slow-paced strategy.
* MageKiller:
** [=TurboMan=]'s Turbo Wheel does All Add damage, which doesn't just damage an opponent but all of their battle-chips, allowing him to wear a foe down and deny them options in battle.
** As an {{NPC}}, [=TurboMan=]'s strong chip is Burner, which does All Add damage, but is twice as strong as Turbo Wheel.
* NoSenseOfDirection: Kai and [=TurboMan=] have a dickens of a time trying to find their tournament destinations. Apparently [=TurboMan=] is the one whose directions are being followed.

* PungeonMaster: [=TurboMan=]'s dialog is peppered with car puns. When Yai happens to be around, they banter puns back and forth.

** ZigZagged. [=TurboMan=] himself is not affiliated with an element, but his {{Signature Move}}s do heat damage.

* OutOfCharacterIsSeriousBusiness: While Ring is willing to talk smack even to Bass, Bass GS spooks her so badly she laughingly begs to go home. If she wins, she shakily tries to use her {{Catchphrase}}, but Mary calls her out on her trembling voice.
