Mega Man: A Gaming Manga Adaptation

[@Gencoil]

Mega Man fittingly looks like Astro Boy with a helmet.

[@GTV-Japan]

Haha yes eyelashes and all. In later books he changes to look more like the Japanese box art design. Thanks for coming by on day one! I put a download to this book in the pinned comment so go check it! Thanks for watching on day one and for coming by here for quite a while ! 🍻

[@intel386DX]

I was to say the same thing :) BTW Rockman is haverly inspired from Astro boy ,actually the game has to be an Astro boy for the Famicom, but Capcom did not get the license, but year later konami published Astroboy Famicom title "Mighty Atom" in 1988 :)

I always wondered why iceman’s stage has frozen palm trees in the background. Thankfully this answered my question, I never would’ve guessed it was supposed to be a tropical island that was frozen over by Iceman’s freeze rays.......

Well I think the game design came first but it would make sense to freeze over a hot area. The us manual will give no help. Thanks for watching

[@hotrod0331]

I love this version of mega man. it’s style is just like Osamu Tezuka’s style and I love his style I even tried to do it my self but I’ll get better at it someday

[@GTV-Japan]

The artist did study under Tezuka so it could be a subtle tribute. However Furue books by the same artist look more like the Japanese Box art. Thanks for watching 🔥

[@HybridAngelZero]

I love this! Not only is this art nostalgic and beautiful, but it also acts as a walkthrough for the game, too! And I really love that ending as well

[@GTV-Japan]

Thanks! I’m glad you liked it. Many of these game based books are in a way a hint guide. Some of the other ones even included maps but not this one thanks for watching 💣

[@RadicalRickEntertainment]

I like how Dr.Wily made sure to put his logo on the chips lol

[@GTV-Japan]

If you think about it though Wily wants recognition. He hates that he was spurned by the world so it makes sense to me. I mean how can you conquer the world anonymously? 🤣 thanks for coming by as always 💣

[@Gecko1993HogheadIncOfficial]

I love how MegaMan looks very Tezuka-like in this adaptation! Great recap!

[@GTV-Japan]

Thanks. The artist studied under Tezuka actually. In future books he looks more like capcom intended but sometimes he slips back to this style.

[@Davethe3rd]

It's so weird to see a Mega Man story that ends after the first game. I mean, we're up to Mega Man 11 now! Plus all the side series games...

[@GTV-Japan]

Haha yea I know! And the ending conversation with MegaMan and Wily was translated exactly. I first read it and said I can’t believe MegaMan is this gullible!!!! Doesn’t he know!!!!! Honestly in my first read I thought Wily would escape or MegaMan would have to leave him to save his own life or something. Oh well he’s right as he will see what Wily invents in the future soon enough! Thanks for watching on day one!

[@Davethe3rd]

@@GTV-Japan To be fair, this feels like it came out around the time of Rockman 1, and that game certainly doesn't feel like it would get a sequel at the time... Then, Capcom rolls the dice and green lights Rockman 2: The Mystery of Dr. Wily, which becomes an international mega-hit and paves the way for countless sequels and spin-offs! Capcom always gets it right in the sequel. See also another game that came out in 1987 that really shouldn't have gotten a sequel: Street Fighter!!

[@GTV-Japan]

Davethe3rd I’ve come to find Rockman 1 was pretty popular and had multiple print runs but surely 2 was the hit.

[@Davethe3rd]

@@GTV-Japan I guess it was Mega Man 1 that wasn't popular... I think I rented it before 2 and thought it was too hard, but then rented 2 and couldn't put it down! I actually never really dug into 1 until the Anniversary Collection on the PS2!

[@GTV-Japan]

Davethe3rd it is hard and short but hey it’s an important part of the history

[@techno-kuno9922]

I remember buying this manga at some point! Those were the days haha. I was never able to read it because it was all in Japanese. So I'm glad I found this reading. You've made this Mega Man fanboy very happy.

[@GTV-Japan]

Great. I’m glad you liked it ⚡️

[@BENULTIMAN2000]

The Manga Design of Megaman/Rockman reminds me of something off of a Manga by Osamu Tezuka

[@GTV-Japan]

Yes I think it’s half coincidence and half on purpose thanks for watching as always my friend!

[@FMecha]

Ikehara was apparently trained under Tezuka, iirc

[@BalsticMaker12]

The manga strangely recommends which stage and strategy to tackle for playing Megaman 1.

[@GTV-Japan]

That’s part of the point yes. I always started with bombman though. Hmm. Thanks for watching

[@captainofthecontrarians4204]

well the manga came out way later after the game was released so it was no surprise at that point

[@davidthecommenter]

I always start with Cutman, because Rock beats Sissors.

[@SharkWitchMeruna]

Gaijillionaire I start with Bombman too!

[@GTV-Japan]

I think the music has a stage 1 feel

[@mightyfilm]

It's amazing how much consistency across the board when it comes to Mega Man lore. Be it this manga, the Archie comics adaption, and even the American cartoon series, they keep the same bullet points of the character origins. Unlike the two certain other video game franchises that have backstories that are completely different in the West and Japan.

[@GTV-Japan]

Yea I loved that detail. Honestly I wish there was more or rock and roll at home before he upgraded in the book. Nd I wish I had a better scan but hey what ya gonna do? What are the 2 games that are different? Thanks for watching 🔥

[@mightyfilm]

Mario and Sonic. Mario's Western origin has been consistently that he was a Plumber from New York who somehow found the Mushroom Kingdom via some warp pipe, but the Japanese origin seems to have been retconned to Yoshi's Island's story. Like they've been born in the Mushroom kingdom, and that Mario and Luigi are the same age. Sonic is all over the map. I remember a promotional comic advertisement that had some weird backstory about him being a regular hedgehog that a not yet evil Dr. Robotnik experimented on. I found a comic dub video if you're curious. kzbin.info/www/bejne/p3zUg3yhh6qif9U And that origin was never brought up again.

[@GTV-Japan]

Ohh well ya. Best not to think about those

[@Davethe3rd]

It helps that the opening of Mega Man 4 cements the origin story in the intro. And then they rehash it in Mega Man: Powered Up.

[@mopbrothers]

Mega Man is the most consistent video game franchise ever made. It's both its greatest strength, but also its greatest weakness. Sonic is too inconsistent, Megaman is too consistent. Taking no risks with a franchise (Mega Man) can hurt it just as much as taking too many risks (Sonic).

[@masterbison8957]

Mega Man:"Don't be bad anymore,okay ? Alright,see 'ya." "Wily:" *surprised Sigma face* "

[@GTV-Japan]

Yep. That says it all

[@one_point21_gigawatts]

I really enjoyed this! very well done! my 1st memory of playing Mega man was with the original on the NES. I remember being disappointed that you could only shoot in 1 direction LOL. It wasent the run and gun shooter i thought it was gonna be- but truly unique in its own way and has been a great franchise.... I lOVE the way you set up the commercial break towards the end. I can appreciate the work that went into this video.

[@GTV-Japan]

Thanks Joe! Part of the design of the game comes from the technical constraints of the Nes and MegaMan actually being two sprites but also the designer wanted to slow the pace down on purpose. Thanks for watching and I’ll see ya next time!

Excellent presentation as always! This manga was surprisingly accurate to the games, even the little details like the 4 blocks on the underwater boss. Tha k you for sharing this! Also, is there a reason Ice Man's weapon is called the Ice Crusher instead of the Ice Slasher?

[@GTV-Japan]

Thanks ColeFam! Yes in the Japanese text it’s called ice crusher. I don’t know why it’s changed in English. I decided to kero English names for the main characters and leave everything else as t was in JP. The book came out in 1992 so they had the game to go by easily. And many of these mangas are part game guide so it makes sense to put that in. Thanks for watching and don’t forget to check the pinned comment for a download of the book! ✂️

Rockman was originally inspired by Astroboy, so it does stand to reason.

[@AndrewAmbrose]

antzpantz this manga was drawn by Shigeto Ikehara, one of Osamu Tezuka’s pupils, which explains the similar art style. With his later Megaman manga, Mr. Ikehara’s style would become closer to the official character designs of the games.

The whole "Ice Crusher" thing was really bugging me, so I made sure to read the untranslated manga and lo and behold, the authors did indeed mistake the "Ice Slasher" for being an "Ice Crusher". I was thinking "why did he keep saying Ice Crusher" when it wasn't really your fault, but the authors of the manga back then. In the actual games and official guide books it's supposed to be "Ice Slasher". Just wanted to get that out of my chest, good work on the read and have a lovely day~ OwO

[@GTV-Japan]

Thanks. It made me wonder too but I went with it as it was written, only changing things named rock to mega and leaving the rest as is. Though the manga series is supposed to follow the GameBoy line of games as the next book is dr wilys revenge, not MegaMan 2 (wily no nazo) maybe it was changed for that but no idea, need a JP manual for that and don’t have one on me. Anyway I’m glad you liked it and be sure to look for more in the year 202X! 🧊

@@GTV-Japan Since i have played "Rockman World" (GB) Japanese version on my Twitch/KZbin channels before, Ice Man definitely gives you "Ice Slasher" in the game.

your manga eps have become my favorites -- they make excellent bedtime fodder... also, were they named bass and treble or was that something else...? edit: ayy that's me @ 22:30 ^ _^

I do plan that but not after. It will be concurrent. Eventually

Where did you get that manga? I can't find it online. Could you please tell me where can I find it?

What happened after this? Were the robots rebuilt? Are they dead?

[@GTV-Japan]

It will all be revealed in Dr. Wily’s Revenge!

[@Davethe3rd]

Well, that giant boss in Mega Man 2 that looks like Guts Man actually is Guts Man. Wily upgraded him to the Guts Dozer!! Also, in Mega Man 7, you can see several of the Robot Masters in the Robot Museum Stage. And if you're lucky enough to play the Saturn version of Mega Man 8, you fight Cut Man and Wood Man again!

Yea I love the woodman theme on that game

I own the PAL version of that game. Pretty expensive and not getting much cheaper.

I love how Megaman is basically an unnoficial Astro Boy videogame. Omega Factor on the GBA is great tho

[@GTV-Japan]

There was an Astro boy game made in 1988 though! It wasn’t so great. Thanks for watching 🧊

[@Vulpas]

Not really a fan of the art style, it's too much like Astro Boy for my liking. The original design for Mega Man was rather similar though.

[@GTV-Japan]

This artist apprenticed under the artist for Astro boy so that’s why. However some later volumes have mega man liking more like he usually does

[@Vulpas]

@@GTV-Japan Oh, very interesting trivia. I like that.

[@GTV-Japan]

However it creates weird continuity because he goes from eyelashes to none then back without explaining why

[@Vulpas]

@@GTV-Japan That kind of stuff bothers me, Dragon Ball does that a lot. Everyone shifts muscle mass between sagas, and not just for certain forms or anything. Height too, even hair color (it bothers me way too much that Trunks has different hair color in Dragon Ball Super, and oddly, it's even different between his kid and adult form).

[@GTV-Japan]

Yeah that’s weird. That’s the way it is though
