Mega Man 4: Dr. Cossack's Ambition! (Part Two) A Gaming Manga Adaptation

[@GTV-Japan]

Q: Why did Proto Man open the Door for Mega Man?

[@dorklymorkly3290]

So Mega Man can go to the other side (of the door)! And so that he (Proto Man) can leer...unseen by Mega Man? ...or just to continue the adventure. Hard to say.

[@DarksTunes]

Proto man actually wants to help Mega Man and wanted to save Kalinka the whole time. It would be interesting to see this story told from the point of view of Proto Man because it takes him all the way until the fight with Cossack to get Kalinka. He's a very interesting character that seems to struggle with whoever's side he's on. Great video!

[@ilexgarodan]

'Cause he has the Blues.

[@NoctournalDonut]

@@DarksTunes There was a fanfic many years ago that had a sorta premise of Protoman saving Kalinka, if that counts?

[@DarksTunes]

@@NoctournalDonut what's it called?

[@coopinatormusic6214]

15:52 Some people may recognize this name. Yusuke Murata, the designer of Dust Man (and a another, later Robot Master) would go on to be a primary illustrator of the manga, One-Punch Man!

[@GTV-Japan]

Interesting!

[@coopinatormusic6214]

@@GTV-Japan Yeah! For a good chunk of Mega Man games, Capcom held art contests, and the winning entries would be made into Robot Masters! And Murata won in two contests back to back for MM4 and MM5! He was 12 at the time.

[@GTV-Japan]

I entered the one for mega man 6! Unfortunately Toothpaste Man never made the cut.

[@derrickfoltz8555]

Toothpaste Man? 😂 What's his function, cleaning people's teeth? Or is he in cahoots with the real dentist robot, Toothbrush Man?

[@mightyfilm]

These are so much more entertaining than the game guides we have here, having an actual story to tell you how to defeat all the masters and Wily. Brilliant, because you don't even need to own the game to enjoy something like this, maybe even got some kids interested in buying a copy of MM 4. Though, through personal experience playing this game, they have a WEIRD order of how to tackle the Robot Masters.

[@GTV-Japan]

To be fair this was the first book written so maybe giving away the game wasn’t the goal. Also the boss battles are kind of short compared to the others so maybe there was some feedback after this that changed the course

[@Ice--Scream]

Man, i love how despite the art style being so squishy and cute the robot-gore can get so detailed and brutal!, its fun.

[@GTV-Japan]

yes its pretty cool! Ill be starting MM6 today actually so see you soon!

[@SpinyPuffs]

The best part about manga is when artwork and paneling is so good you don't even need to know Japanese to enjoy it. Shigeto Ikehara's Tezuka-influenced art style fits so well with Mega Man it's insane! Thanks for making it free to read.

[@GTV-Japan]

No problem! Do t forget to get the pdf!

[@reagandow850]

Wow! You do an amazing job narrating this. Thank you! This is an incredible experience.

[@GTV-Japan]

Thanks! All my years of radio experience are paying off!

[@OGBuddah]

Another top notch video. Even to this day when I hear Protomans theme I get choked up. It is hard to convey just how huge Mega Man was for a short time. Thank you again for sharing!

[@GTV-Japan]

I loved how literally every year for 10 years there was a new game to play original or x

[@LordMetalSonic1987]

"Dust Man has gone from Suck to Blow." *pause*

[@GTV-Japan]

Good thing we’re not on Spaceball One!

[@ColeFam]

A fun conclusion to the story. Thanks for sharing!

[@GTV-Japan]

Of course! And we will see Rock again next year in Megaman 5!

[@ColeFam]

@@GTV-Japan That one is my favorite, so I'm pretty excited!

[@GTV-Japan]

I hope you can wait 14 months to see it!

[@MegaManNeo]

Fantastic. I enjoyed this from beginning to end.

[@GTV-Japan]

Cheers!

[@t-bonelewis9477]

Good looking out, GTV. The Mega Man 4 story was straight-up dope. I can't wait 2 C what's gonna happen next in Mega Man 5, NO DOUBT!!!

[@GTV-Japan]

It’ll be banging.

[@thewingedavenger1007]

Wow, Dr Cossack has even more ambition than Nobunaga!

[@GTV-Japan]

And his ambition stretches out to next week!

[@daisukegori2112]

That the spaceballs quote made me chuckle haha 😀 Now back to the show.

[@GTV-Japan]

Thank you! I knew someone would get it. Oh yeah and who went from suck to blow? MEGA Maid!

[@jayt2917]

Always happy when you post Mega Man videos 😊

[@GTV-Japan]

Thanks. I plan for more mega goodness next year. At least 2 videos beyond the usual manga

[@pferreira1983]

Dr Wiley was pulling the strings??? Didn't see that plot twist coming. 😂

[@GTV-Japan]

Shocking

[@philiplonidier]

@@GTV-Japan I wonder if they ever adapted Mega Man 6. It's got a wonderful twist that NO ONE ever saw coming. ;)

[@GTV-Japan]

@philiplonidier yes. The artist did all the way to MM8! I’ll be making 6 in august!

[@mekman4]

Great Stuff!

[@GTV-Japan]

Thanks for watching 🌟🌟

[@napoleoncoronadocortes5740]

The first megaman Game i played for little, thats megaman mangas are great, only gor the megamix and gigamix in English published by udon entertainment. Great video camarada.

[@GTV-Japan]

Thanks for helping to save the day!

[@themarcosoma]

Oh man, the ending credits are just awesome! Well, once again I finished the GTV videos. Lets wait for more videos and maybe next time I have a holiday I'll catch up with some Buffalo Wings and some cold ones! By the way, on the Sonic Soldier Borgman it reminded me of The Giver and strange coincidence, there was a cult in the USA named Heavens Gate too, but that was some of those massive suicidal cults you know the drill... Any way, thanks for all your videos and keep up the good work! Cheers from Mexico and happy day of the death!

[@GTV-Japan]

That’s right there was a cult named that. Although I doubt the knew of it. I think the phrase came from Shakespeare actually 🍺

[@jaycenteno8385]

the whole thing was amazing but the robot master line up ripped straight from the end of the game has to be my favorite part! :D

[@GTV-Japan]

Thanks for that! It was my favorite part to make!

[@jaycenteno8385]

@@GTV-Japan you did an awesome jab as always, all i needed was a NES controller in my hand to complete the experience

[@GTV-Japan]

Thanks Jay! If Dr. Wily ever strikes again I’ll be there! 🎙️

[@jaycenteno8385]

@@GTV-Japan Mega Man 5 confirmed? ;P

[@GTV-Japan]

Yea

[@Dystnine]

I have a box of these Rockman Mangas. Nice to see you cover 'em.

[@GTV-Japan]

Cool! How many do you have? I have up to 8 and Rockman world 3 I think. Still looking for others

[@mackieken]

This was incredibly enjoyable, thanks a lot!

[@GTV-Japan]

Glad you enjoyed it!

[@popop7850]

Hey! I love your videos because we can discover new mangas we never heard about before! So thank you very much! I know a Mario manga adaptation called "Go go Mario Kart", but it's all in japanese, so if you see my comment one day, i was wondering if you could make a video about it? (We can found scan of it on Internet) and if you don't see this comment, or if you just don't want to do it, well i hope i make you discover a new manga, because it look very cool! Anyway, thank you for reading this, have a nice day!

[@GTV-Japan]

I don’t have that one. But I’ll look it up!!

[@khaimk4r4su]

15:56 hold up... Yuusuke Murata?! The one manga artist redrawing One Punch Man?!

[@GTV-Japan]

Saitama strong!

[@kolkagaming1234]

You should try narrating the Mega Man X manga too

[@GTV-Japan]

In the year 21xx I’ll start doing that!

[@derrickfoltz8555]

I'm surprised Cossack and Kalinka never really appeared again after 4. The only other mere mention of him recently came with Tundra Man in Mega Man 11. Also, it appears you forgot to mention the Cockroach Twins here.

[@GTV-Japan]

Well he is around in the manga after this!

[@derrickfoltz8555]

You mean Mega Man 5? Oh yeah, but briefly! Cossack made Beat to help Mega Man after what had transpired in 4.

[@fumomofumosarum5893]

Great work, as always! ^^ That reminds me - You know what Mega Man game was/is very underrated? Mega Man V for the Original Gameboy ^^

[@GTV-Japan]

Thanks! I remember that one and I was sad they didn’t get one more out of the game boy. Especially considering that it lived on much longer

[@ZZtheDark]

6:45, he's dowsing all of his sorrows down. XD 7:21 - 7:30, I also forgot how messed up each and every of the Robot master's kill scene is. 12:43, Getter Robo energy right there. 16:30, Mega, mega, mega-man~ Nintendo got it right~ Not Sega. Mega, mega, mega-man~ 16:38, Blue and Cyan, likes Chopin and Rodan. MEGAMAN~

[@GTV-Japan]

I don’t know what “it” is but Sega is often preferred round these parts

[@ZZtheDark]

@@GTV-Japan Oh, about that. I was referencing a song, not looking down on SEGA. I do know SEGA's done quite a lot to be honest. Speaking of which, will there be a documentary on SEGA and their collab with Toei with Shinobi Legions, Hakaider and Changerion? I feel that would make for an amazing material for your future videos.

[@GTV-Japan]

I’ve never heard such a song!

[@only1gameguru]

Yay salary man story time

Why is kalinka so tall? She's like 7

[@GTV-Japan]

Hmm good question!

[@FotosMarcelo]

Wait, Wily was behind all of this? I NEVER saw him coming! (SARCASM)

[@sheercold5311]

Does mega man 5 have a manga?

[@GTV-Japan]

Yes. It goes all the way to 8! I’ll do one a year until it’s finished
