**The song as a whole can be one big Tearjerker. Much of the chorus is about all the amazing and impressive things Rush can do, but the song ends with what Mega Man considers to be the most important thing, a shoulder to cry on with Rush.

** And if one reads the vengeance motivated lines of other songs like Wood Man and Heat Man as pertaining to the other Robot Masters, Air Man's loneliness may be more self-inflicted than anything.



* Needle Man. He's forced to be locked away far underground so that he doesn't harm anybody, and wants to take back all the damage he's accidentally caused. He's so lonely and miserable that part of the reason he's happy about Mega Man coming to fight him is it means that for a short while he won't be alone.

** Wily's desperation eventually causes events to spiral entirely out of his control. By the end of ''History Repeating: Blue'', it's not clear that he has any control over either Gamma (''What good is power when you're out of control?''), Proto Man (''I gave him power, a new heart / It filled too quickly with his rage''), or even himself (''I know that I am no longer sane''). Combine that with his belief that he's actually the hero, and his frustration with the fact that he's been unable to convince literally anyone else of that fact, and it's hard not to feel a little bit sorry for the guy, even if everything is ultimately his fault.

As argued on the Characters page, it\'s unlikely that Gamma is the one singing Make Your Choice — it makes a lot more sense as a duet between Mega Man and Proto Man.


* ''Make Your Choice'' is brutal really, hammering into Mega Man about how screwed up everything's gotten for him. Gamma's constantly reminding him that he's a robot who's trying to pretend to be human, giving him the ArmorPiercingQuestion when Rock claims he doesn't care anymore. "But if [Dr. Light] died, tell me would you feel." And then it goes right into TheFinalTemptation when Gamma says that if they kill humanity together, this could be [[IronicEcho "the last time.]] ''[[IronicEcho One last time."]]''

* ''Everything'' about Proto Man; his song ''I'm Not The Break Man'' is about his depression from being rejected by Light in favor of Mega Man. "I had a name, my father called me Blues," Light tearing his heart out to put it in Mega Man, and "I am not broken; I'm not the break man". In the end, even ''Melody From The Past'' as he begins to accept his situation and forgive his family is heartbreaking. ''All the way through''.
