* Not unlike ''Franchise/{{Pokemon}}'', AdaptationDisplacement sometimes causes aspects of [[Anime/MegaManNTWarrior the anime and manga continuities]] to bleed into game canon among the ''Battle Network'' fandom. This is especially prevalent in shipping matters, such as fans taking the ShipTease between Laika and Princess Pride to be canon despite the fact that [[ShipsThatPassInTheNight they most likely never even crossed paths in the games]]. [[note]]Both do appear in [[VideoGame/MegaManBattleNetwork5TeamColonelAndTeamProtoMan the fifth game]], but in [[OneGameForThePriceOfTwo separate versions]].[[/note]]
* Speaking of Princess Pride, a number of ''Battle Network'' fans believe that her [=NetNavi=], [=KnightMan.EXE=], [[SamusIsAGirl is female underneath the armor]] (not unlike the aforementioned Manga!Centaur Man) despite being referred to with male pronouns by Pride and having male voice actors in the anime. There may be some conflation with the anime's continuity involved here ([[FandomSpecificPlot this reveal most commonly appears in Lan/Pride fan works]] thanks to ''NT Warrior'' teasing the pair) and the closest thing to a legitimate "female [=KnightMan=]" is the [[FusionDance Cross Fusion]] between Pride and [=KnightMan=] in the anime (as all [=NetNavi=]-Operator mergers go by the Navi's name but possess the Operator's body even if they're the opposite gender).

* While it’s never been revealed who built the [[EliteFour Four Guardians]], some fans think of them as X's children, possibly with Alia being their mother (as she's a popular shipping choice for X in the fandom, especially after ''X6''). Canonically, the Guardians can be thought of as X's biological children, as they were all created from his DNA data, making him a TrulySingleParent in a sense.

* Serges from ''VideoGame/MegaManX2'' and Isoc from ''VideoGame/MegaManX6'' are both incarnations of/vessels for a [[JokerImmunity still living]] Dr. Wily, with Wily's survival usually chalked up to him [[BrainUploading somehow becoming one with the Maverick Virus]] and [[VirtualGhost living on through it]]. While never explicitly confirmed outside of Wily's involvement in the plot of ''[[VideoGame/MegaManX5 X5]]'' as Sigma's [[TheGhost unseen]] [[BigBadDuumvirate collaborator]] (with Wily having [[BackFromTheDead come back to life]] in the process), the games heavily imply this on several different occasions [[labelnote:(including...)]]''X2'' ([[LostInTranslation Japanese version only]]): Serges [[WrongNameOutburst mistakenly refers to X]] as "Rock" and later calls him "the robotic memento of Light" -- [[SomethingOnlyTheyWouldSay both comments made in an era where few would be aware of the events from 20XX]]; ''[[VideoGame/MegaManX4 X4]]'': Zero's story opens with him having a nightmare where Wily appears to him, ordering Zero to destroy his nemesis (presumably X); ''X6'': Isoc, who is voiced by Creator/TakeshiAono (who previously voiced Wily in ''VideoGame/MegaMan8'' and ''X4''), is a Reploid scientist with a fixation on Zero and knowledge of [[BlackBox his inner workings]] -- with the latter implying he may have been responsible for Zero's UnexplainedRecovery -- and when Isoc's lifeless body is discovered late in X's story, [[MissionControl Alia]] comments that it's similar to the [[VideoGame/MegaManXtreme2 Erasure Incident]], thereby suggesting his CPU left his body altogether[[/labelnote]] and the question of "Serges = Wily" was given a ShrugOfGod by Creator/KeijiInafune, causing many fans to run with the idea.

* An oft-overlooked piece of fanon is the assertion that Wily is German (or of German descent), owing to Wily being based on UsefulNotes/AlbertEinstein and Creator/ScottMcNeil giving him a German accent in the Ruby-Spears cartoon. As such, it is very rare to see fan works that don't model his speech patterns after [=McNeil's=] performance even though there's no canonical statement on Wily's ethnicity and ''VideoGame/MegaMan11'' ended up giving him an American accent. This idea ''may'' hold true for the ''[[VideoGame/MegaManBattleNetwork Battle Network]]'' continuity, as [[spoiler:Dr. Regal, revealed to be Lord Wily's son in [[VideoGame/MegaManBattleNetwork5TeamColonelAndTeamProtoMan the fifth game]], hails from Nation Z, which is described as an "infamous military state" and therefore believed to be the series' FantasyCounterpartCulture to (Nazi) Germany]], but ''Battle Network'' is an AlternateTimeline with a few cases of AdaptationalNationality, most notably Dr. Light going from American to Japanese (or rather, Electopian).
