I always thought that Dr. Wily won the war actually. I mean, think about it, who was alive in the end of it all? Zero. Who made Zero? Wily. What did Dr. Wily ultimately want? To have the satisfaction of knowing that he made the ultimate robot and prove that he was better than Dr. Light. In the end, Dr. Wily won.

[@bezoticallyyours83]

damn. but zero did turn against wily's original intentions too

[@SapphireLibra3]

bezoticallyyours83 That he did, but Wily's original beef with Dr. Light was that Light got all the credit. What Wily truly wanted was the satisfaction that he was the better robot designer, and even though Zero went against his creator's intentions, think about it. X was DESIGNED to have free will. Zero wasn't, yet when the virus was removed from him, Zero had free will too. Dr. Wily made a robot with the ability to think BY ACCIDENT. Zero was even capable of rebelling against his creator and working for the side of good. Dr. Wily made Zero too well, even for him. Once again, like I said, SURPRISINGLY by that logic, Dr. Wily won in the end.

[@lupvirga]

Sapphire Libra3 except, Wily didn't win like that because Zero was a straight up advancement of Bass. Technically, Zero lost because X helped Zero. I mean, who else helped get zero back to the good side after being rebuilt? Megaman, Whether it's X or the original, He always wins.

[@OdaKa]

+Sapphire Libra3 but then again, who survived even past the lifetime of Zero? The robots that were built from copying X's design. Reploids, based on Dr. Light's masterpiece, outlived Zero.

[@andrewcrawford8922]

It was a draw though. Because while Wily was obsessed about creating the ultimate physical robot frame, Dr. Light's concern was to successfully pass on his code of ethics to a synthetic being with free will. Both of their dreams eventually become true, combined in the entity known as Zero. The whole story about Megaman is how ultimately the only way Dr. Light and Wily could find to work together was as bitter rivals.

[@costyhetalia]

[@estebandsandovall]

+Joel The human and blew it big and good btw

[@Zurenza]

Yeah and he also basically made the entire Legends, Zero Series and ZX series possible. The dude caused not just centuries but millennia of carnage.(mavericks still exist in the Zero, Legends and ZX series)

[@berserkchip]

Here's a theory of my own. In X6, if you beat the game as Zero he'll go into stasis, presumably setting up the story for Megaman Zero. If you beat the game as X 'without' finding Zero, Zero will pop up at the very end and mention that the world no longer needs him because X is around, and that there's one more thing Zero needs to do, implying that he would go into stasis. So again, setting up the story for Megaman Zero. HOWEVER If you save Zero and beat the game as X, you get a different ending, which I call the "X and Zero" ending. In this ending, Zero seems to have no desire to go into stasis whatsoever, and it seems like the two will be working together to fight mavericks like the old days. 'This' ending seems like it sets up Megaan X7 more than it does Megaman Zero. My theory is that X6 splits the X story into two timelines. The Megaman Zero timeline that leads into ZX, and the Megaman X7 and X8 timeline that leads into Megaman X Command Mission.

[@MrAnimefan20]

That's a solid theory that could very well be true. I have a few reservations about it, though. I wonder if that is intentional or if it was another flaw in X6's messy story. Keep in mind that I haven't played X6 so I don't have a ton of information to work with. Regardless, art is up to interpretation, so whether or not that was the intention this is certainly a valid reading. This would also work as a sort of compromise between Inafune's vision for the series and Capcom's love of money. Inafune wanted the X series to end at X5 and transition into the Zero series, but Capcom made X6 without his knowledge or permission, forcing him to rewrite some of Zero. By splitting the timeline, Infafune could continue with his Zero series while Capcom continues to run the X franchise into the ground.

[@lupvirga]

berserkchip ZX is the far future of Zero. I'm sorry, but, the seperate timeline theory is flawed ESPECIALLY when this character -> megaman.wikia.com/wiki/Prairie is Alouette from Zero (which ZX heavily implies).

[@berserkchip]

What does Alouette/Prairie have to do with X6's good ending, X7, X8, and X Command Mission? I'm not seeing any flaws.

[@omegashinobi]

He didn't that Bio metal was ALBERT not Axl

[@Solfei]

berserkchip actually I read somewhere that the stasis scene takes place in an unknown time. Prehaps after many other games.This would give capcom the oportunity to create more MMX games and still respect the timeline.Well that holded up until the redsign in MMX8. Also Zero's ending in MMX7 links MMX7 with the MMZ series.

[@karawithgun8148]

So X is kind of like Jesus or God or something to the reploids if you think about it. They were all sort of made in his image or design. Just something to think about. Imagine being the blueprint design for humanity.

[@gbdornls]

Isabella Regaldo And i find it funny how, even though they all have been made in his image, they aren't exactly perfectly like him, since cain didn't knew how to replicate x systems exactly, and even though x gets called a ancient old piece of shit, he still is the most advanced of them, and is hte most human of them all

[@CamperN00b47]

Gabriel D This might as well actually be another theory that i always thought it was: Technology over the 100-year span didn't decrease or just stood to a halt like Dookie suggested, it's probably just because Light made X to be so technologically advanced, so much that it is *LITERALLY* (yes, *LITERALLY* ) a quantum leap even for the future 100 years later (and i believe possibly even later), exactly how Dr. Cain described it in his journal. I'm pretty sure his rather human-like personality is largely contributed by the fact that he was subject to 30 years of moral tests & diagnostics, something that all the Reploids lack; but also, in my opinion, it's a possible sign that deep in his subconscious, he actually (unknowingly) fears of his 'limitless potential', of what he can do.

[@mobilesuitjesse]

[@einjix]

You meant Adam not jesus

[@krx50]

Something cool about this whole Zero Virus thing is that Zero.EXE, Zero's counterpart in the Megaman Battle Network series, was originally a virus who later became a NetNavi

[@cody2819]

You forgot one very important part, in X6 wasn't there a robot that looked just like Willy and told Zero "I know you in and out" and "You are...the strongest...." I think that was Willy more so then the X2 guy.

[@dookieshed]

Yeah that was Isoc. A lot of people think he was the next vessel for Wily's consciousness (although I don't like to give X6 much credit since it was made without Keiji Inafune). Also I didn't want the video to be like 30 minutes...

[@cody2819]

Well if you wanted the full theory....split it into 2 parts?

[@therealpohlio]

dookieshed yea you could still make a second part maybe ?_? for the passion you show this series, and as much as i loved playing the MMLegends games as a kid, id enjoy hearing more if your inclined to do so.

[@Sotherius]

dookieshed And when you think about Zero enemy on zero franchise, that fellow dr. weil, who becomes model W, and etc... Do you have something about the zx franchise on this theory?

[@Schyfis]

dookieshed Yeah, I was actually expecting Isoc to appear, but then the video ended. :/ Still, I don't blame you. X5 was to be the last MMX game, so everything after it should be taken with a grain of salt.

[@StarscreamSigma]

You were right dookieshed. My mind is blown away and plastered all over my room. Awesome job there.

Also, Dr. Light turned himself into an infomorph too. The early upgrade capsules seem like recordings, but later capsules seem to be aware of current events. Also, why else would they show up exactly where needed?

[@dracocrusher]

I always wondered why they were so out-of-the-way.... "Megaman, I left this capsule on this cliff guarded by a robot that will take you hours to beat if you suck. Good luck, my great creation!!!"

[@ReaperSigma]

X6 Isac was clearly Wily to

[@HarunoSoul]

He forgot to cover a huge point that Wily still exists..Isoc. That crazy, Wily like robot that was able to manipulate Zero...and when he "died" his final words were "Go Zero! You are the strongest robot!"

[@HarunoSoul]

Exactly. Hence why I said he's a huge plot point that kinda sticks out. Next to no one in the X timeline knows Zero is a Robot.

[@HarunoSoul]

Exactly! Isoc is a huge mystery. He isn't really mentioned at all, and appears very rarely. Yet he knows Zero inside and out. Knows he's a robot, can manipulate him, and obsesses over him.

[@MultiThat1dude]

It makes sense that Zero is not a completed robot because he takes more damage than X does.

[@zhaoyun255]

Huh? By saying that, X was even more incomplete because he was mediocre w/o the armor part. Zero was the ever evolving battle machine after he gain a new body (Actually, more his supposed completed body.)

[@Pcuspy]

Dr. Light and Ciel have a lot of similarities to each other. Both create machinery to help people (Robot Masters and Biometal) Both worked with somebody who would become a main villain in the future (Wily and Copy X, Elpizo, AND Serpent{Seriously Ciel, get a grip!}) Both become mentor figures to the next generation (Light mentored X, Ciel through data chips mentored Vent/Aile) And both were direct results of several conflicts (Light was responsible for the Classic and X series, while Ciel is responsible for the Zero and ZX series.) Who cares about Legends? That's so far after ZX.

[@SatoshiMatrix1]

*Clap clap* This is a WAY better theory than GameTheory's "lol Megaman is the villain!!1111one" that quotes the Americanized English version of Megaman 7's ending as canon. As a lifelong megaman fan, I always loved to see if I could find connections between the Classic and X series. I had thought of the strong possibility that the Roboenza virus was the beta of what would become the Zero Virus [and by extension Maverick Virus and Sigma Virus] of the X series. But holy crap, somehow, I never stopped to consider that the evil energy from Megaman 8 may have been the original source. Great idea that makes total sense. I have a theory of my own, which I'm going to put in a separate post so others can easily view it.

[@huntermurray7380]

Actualling I'm pretty sure mega man 1-3 are in the app\play store. Also the first Mega Man X is there too

[@YoungTheFish]

The MegaMan series are ultimately about the doctors: from Light and Willy, to Kane, and Ciel. It represents Japan's fear of rapid advancement in technology, when Japan becomes the industry power in the post-war era. It is why I love this series so much. .

[@NowOnAFM]

If Dr. Light found a way to stream his consciousness in the form of those upgrade capsules in the X series, then Wily might've used a similar method to keep his spirit alive as well. I'd like to think that Wily might've stole the idea of AI consciousness preservation from Light, just like how he did with the first robot masters.

[@ZYR47]

Well...Zero was Inafune's own true Megaman, so perhaps it isn't too far fetched to think he would be the center of everything.

[@maxshabazz1543]

ZYR47 makes me wish that he truly went ahead with his vision and made zero the main protagonist

[@DriftSpaceZero]

@@maxshabazz1543 He did! Zero totally becomes the main protagonist in the end of the X arc ... at least before "Legends/Dash" happens. Inafune just needed a few games to make it happen; transition to Zero as the "hero" was supposed to happen at the end of X5, but when Inafune transitioned to the GBA Zero series: CAPCOM put X on life-support without his input.

[@Zero-tn4kk]

Yeah. I'm pretty bad ass. I died like 7 times at most. How many times have you died, huh?

[@raulrojas9253]

zero Zero have die like 4 Times only, X1, X5, X2 is you dont get the parts and Zero 4. But if you wanna count the ZX series them yeah he dies again In ZXA so 5 times.

[@Zero-tn4kk]

Don't forget X 3.

[@Rickfernello]

This is just so much awesome! Do more of this whenever you can, it's epic! Now, you forgot about something. There's yet another one who might be one of Wily's body, and it is Isoc, from MMX6. Isoc, not only similar in physical appearance to Wily and Serges, also says at the end of his life: "Go... Zero... You are the strongest robot...". He, ironically, was killed by the scraped Sigma. (Oh... Somebody commented already... Damn it.) But whatever, just keep doin' your stuff, man.

[@Rickfernello]

That is right; because both Zero and X were originals of their "species", so they are not "replica androids" like the others, what makes X (and maybe Zero) the father of all reploids, in a way.

[@devro312]

RidleyCA they are the father of all reploids because when x was found the whole design of reploids where based on his design maybe not as much with zeros design but yea

[@Rickfernello]

Wasn't that what I just said?

[@Jebbtube]

Inafune always intended Zero to be the series protagonist, but was overridden by Capcom execs to make a design for X that was more akin to his classic blue look. Inafune didn't wanna just scrap his design though, so he had it reworked into a whole other character, and had him be the hero of his own series set after the X era.

[@zhaoyun255]

Jebbtube TBH, Zero is always the better heroes even in X series. I means he stole all of the best scenes and a lot more story element emphasized more on Zero and his mystery with the virus always advance the plot of X series.

[@ChoiceSnarf]

I think that this might just debunk The Game Theorists (MatPat)'s "Doctor Wily is innocent" theory.

[@glschrauben]

Well yea. Even a 10 year old could debunk most of GT's theories just by using common sense.

[@pegasBaO23]

Yay, Dookie mentioned the ZX series, Achievement unlocked!

[@BrownHairL]

Oh yeah, not to count that Shadow Devil actually transforms itself into Wily's machine from Megaman 6! If it wasn't proof enough that Dr. Wily IS the partner Sigma found, note that on the screen of the Shadow Devil fight another W appears, only more distorted.

[@devro312]

the reason why the w appears and is distorted is because the original devil (idk his full name) was built by wily and then got turned into the shadow devil also the reason why its able to turn into the wily machine from megaman 6 is because he was built by wily

[@TheManlyMartian]

That's just a theory! A.... dookie theory?

[@AwesomeShocker]

Really fascinating video, dook! It's nice to watch something and having next to no idea what you're getting into.

[@michealwatts7469]

Well even according to the Wiki the question was posed that Serges was Wily and the creator stated "He might be he might not, and thats one of the fun things with being a creator cause you can plant the seeds of imagination" However the theory fits 100%

[@SatoshiMatrix1]

Here's a theory of my own: I do not believe that Serges was actually Dr. Wily. Serges was too minor of a character for Capcom to have wasted such a mindblowing concept on, and then not find a way to bring back for future games. The idea that with Serges destroyed, so too was Wily just doesn't sit well with me. If there's anything about Wily that the Classic series teaches, it's that Wily is always two steps ahead with a backup plan. Let's assume that there is a connection between Dr. Wily and Serges. I mean after all, Serges _does _look sort of like Wily and when you fight him he uses screen filling attack vehicles rather than fight on his own just like Dr. Wily would, and then there's what he says in the Japanese version upon his final defeat. Rather than simply conclude that Serges is Wily, I think it's more probable that Serges was instead a creation of Dr. Wily, and programmed to _think_ that he is actually Dr. Wily. Comparative to how difficult/near impossible the task of Wily transporting his brain into a robot (especially by himself!) consider that Wily could have easily built a robot who only believes that it is Wily, and programmed with [at least some] of Wily's knowledge. This would give Wily a decoy that could attract unwanted attention away from him and upon its destruction, he would be free to move in the shadows and operate completely undetected by anyone. In X2 and if I recall other X games, Sigma makes reference to meeting an old man. This may very well be Dr. Wily in the flesh, kept alive through some artificial means for at least the early games in the X series. This theory that Wily is still alive and Serges was just a decoy would also explain much of Isoc's behavior in X6, and how he knew certain details that he really shouldn't, such as that Zero is a robot and not a Reploid. Isoc too may be another Wily robot who thinks or at least has knowledge that Wily does, or perhaps Isoc met and learned from Wily. But hey, it's just a theory.

[@ClassicGameGuys]

The manga directly states that Serges is Wily.

[@SatoshiMatrix1]

ClassicGameGuys Secondary sources such as manga are not canon and therefore do not count for anything, as they are not written by the original scenario creators of the games. I could write a manga claiming that Zero was Protoman, and it would be just as valid as that.

[@syedabood760]

A game theory!

[@FrozenLavaDragonProd]

Satoshi Matrix But the manga you would have wrote wouldn't be officially approved by Capcom, and stuff

[@SatoshiMatrix1]

***** The Archie Comics Sonic/Megaman crossovers are also approved by Capcom. Does that mean those are also canon and Megaman hangs out with Sonic the hedgehog when not fighting Dr. Wily? Think before you post. The manga is obviously non-canon and therefore is irreverent. This is nothing exclusive to Megaman either. In any visual media lore, only what is in on screen can count towards what is canon. Novels, manga, etc are fanfiction and should be regarded as such, unless they're written by writers who were directly involved in creating the original story to begin with.

[@GenmaTheSamurai]

Dookie, if you do a part 2, you should really discuss the Zero and ZX series in a bit of detail. Because I think they work in incredibly with this as, particularly regarding Doctor Weil, Omega, and Model W.

[@anamorphicalan]

Damn, i wonder if Game Theory knew this

[@tyciol]

thekillersnake94 What do Bomb/Fire/Guts/Ice construct, exactly? I think 'construction' is a bit too specific. Bomb/Guts seem like demolition guys, which while not specifically construction, is often a prerequisite to it to clear space for newer safer buildings. Much like harvesting lumber isn't construction either, but a prerequisite. Fireman could help people survive in the arctic, while Iceman could help people survive in the tropics. More broadly, pretty much any Robot Master (even the later kinds) could all easily find ways to use their abiltiies for public service.

[@skpcboy]

In megaman powered up, gutsman was created for constuction *and* if you battle with bombman, gutsman will say he's the boss of bombman.

[@combatrobot1443]

Pertaining to the Legends series, a theory I've heard says that the "Elder System" mentioned in Legends 2, which was the system that preceded the Master System, was actually the Maverick Hunters, or perhaps that the Elder System was the existence of Reploids in general. Supposedly, the Humans eventually decided that since the Maverick Virus could potentially infect any Reploid that came in contact with it, Reploids were simply too dangerous to be allowed to continue. So the Humans fled to the artificial moon Elysium and, through some sort of technology, flooded the Earth in an attempt to kill off all the Reploids. The remaining landmasses on the planet were then populated with Carbons, artificially engineered humans created by the "real" humans of the Master System. The ruins and reaverbots that populate them are remnants of the Elder System. Interestingly, the end of Legends 2 mentions that the Elder System is reawakening now that the Master System has shut down. Perhaps if Legends 3 had seen fruition, we would've seen Reploids awakening from years of slumber underwater and in ruins.

Flaw: Light's name in Japanese is Right, so Serges was just saying that he lost to someone who was a good guy. Good vid though, it exceeded my expectations (although they were pretty low TBH).

[@gregorio1580]

no i think that they made it to mean Dr light not just for willy theory, because it not have much sense say then a good guy kill him

[@SenshiSam]

He just said "Light" in order to no confuse the audience, but in fact he says "Right" as I aware.

[@SkiGlovesie]

Rebuttal: "Robotic Memento of Light" does not make any sense without context. It could be that Serges believes that "goodness" is gone from the world and X is all that remains of it. But it more likely is that the translator or even Dookie himself simply changed the name to the English one. Choosing a capslock font really doesn't help.

[@dookieshed]

Yes, in the Japanese version Serges does literally say Right instead of Light because that's what Dr. Light's name is in Japan.

I wouldn't really call this a theory. It's pretty much 99% right just unconfirmed. I always believed the same thing. Its awesome how the whole timeline connects together. Oh and please please please stop fanboying over Zero. Zero is one of the greatest heroes for sure but the GREATEST of the ENTIRE series? NO. Mega Man was the hero of classic, X, Zero and Axl were the heroes of the X series with X being the main hero, Zero was a hero in his own series. X fought for hundreds of years WITHOUT Zero, HUNDREDS. Even after Zero went back to sleep after the Elf Wars, X was STILL fighting for hundreds of years. Then X lived on to guide Zero throughout the Zero series similar to how Zero guided and helped X in X1-X3. X got tired of fighting and passed the mantle and responsibility of the world onto Zero. Honestly the amount of discredit you and most people give X is insane. To say that Zero is the greatest hero in the ENTIRE series is pure fanboyism. Please get his saber out of your ass.

@@DieHardjagged but the Maverick Virus was later eliminated thanks to Mother Elf, and Zero basically saved the world multiple times in the Zero franchise, retroactively making his creator, Dr. Wily, a hero.

[@ShinDSER]

He said that Wily's masterpiece - Zero - was the greatest hero. Not Wily himself.

[@Scodaro_]

Loved this! Hope u make more about the zero series.

[@ImEmpTy295]

That blew my mind. Such a unique story that makes the original antagonist the winner at the end but everyone is happy.

[@ProtoMario]

Hey man, I just did a theory like this and didn't even know you had one out. Sorry for stepping on your tows if I did.

[@sodo2202]

I tokd you do a collab with him :D

[@donathartyan2566]

But Proto what are you doing here?

[@sodo2202]

Donát Hartyán I told him to come here ;)

[@omarstararchive1737]

REBELION!! I AM A MAVRICK

[@GBelair]

Is it said anywhere, what happens to The original Cast? Mega Man, Roll, Proto Man, Bass ?

[@EmperorAvalon]

It's believed Zero wiped them out.

[@GBelair]

Seriously? D:

[@Kuribohchaos8]

***** Most likely Light died before Rock did, and Rock fought to protect the world but actually lost and died to zero. Wily most likely realized Zero was TOO powerful and managed to seal him again. until X series while X was obviously still sleeping

[@isaacharrington2194]

***** so mega man and mega man x are different people right

[@SolracDude]

Isaac Harrington yes, also I don't think Zero killed MegaMan classic, he obviously was scrapped like how the robot masters in MM9 were supposed to be. Also Megaman 2 for gameboy has you fight megaman from the future cause Wily kidnapped the future megaman cause he was turned back into Rock after Wily's defeat or something, I don't know play the game

[@Bazerald777]

The war between Light and Wily is not over yet. While both have died during the X series, but both are somehow still alive. Wily, just as you said, are still lingering around the world and Light is also lingering around the world inside the power up capsules. It's not a pre-recorded holographic of Light since we have seen multiple instances that Light and either X or Zero had a conversation.

[@ssj1k650]

Awesome that makes so much sense and my mind is so blown

[@Castersvarog]

Given that Sigmas body in X5 at 10:24 holds great resemblance to Gamma of Mega Man 3 (Large body, spiked hands) It's 99.9% likely that this theory is true.

[@docturtle2331]

Yeah, that body of Sigma was based off of Gamma, it's even called Gamma Sigma

I think Zero was built with the parts from both Bass and Protoman when they were destroyed.

[@Megaluigi93]

perhaps.. but not confirmed both robots where trashed.

[@DoragonFakuh]

Tyler Shewchuk Nope, Dr Wily was shown building Zero in Bass ending of The Power Fighters

[@seanharv]

Great work dookie!... Not a sentence I thought I'd type today...

[@Schnazy72]

Great theories! Really makes Wily's character much more deep and methodical. As well as Zero being a sort of tragic villain (instead of hero). He was supposed to be THE end for Mega Man, but instead joins him and fights Sigma. Really makes the story that much more awesome!

[@CRAIGGU4]

How did you make your helmet? I wanna cosplay!

[@awnipimentel5223]

It was a gift

[@CRAIGGU4]

Awni Pimentel Oh... I still wanna know how it was made though.

[@Lizarius]

So I'm pretty certain I'm late to the party on this one but I'd love to know more concerning this if more exists. But here's a thought I had So X was created to be super awesome hero man, put to sleep for 100 years to make sure that happened, and it worked out until he had to go to sleep to hold down dark elf. After that, Ciel made a replica of him and shit went south immediately. So let's pretend Ciel is REALLY damn good at her job and made a perfect copy in every way. In theory, things go as well as they did when X first woke up right? One would think, but she skipped a step. Maybe Copy X is what would've happened in the X series if X had not had the 100 years sleep. Thoughts/feedback/evidence for or against?

[@Deamons64]

Lizarius It's possible, but Dr. Light kept X hidden, running tests for what was planned to be a minimum of 30 years, to ensure that X would make the right decisions. However, shit ended up getting buried, and X ended up being hidden for about 100 years. While it's possible that the copy X was what would happen without the tests, it's probably more likely that the copy X was only identical in body. It's mind was different, and probably weaker than the original, leading to the copy's corruption.

[@tarynwhite6497]

This makes a lot of sense now! Just makes me love the series more!

[@MetPhD]

THAT'S AWESOME! And the reason that X was hidden, to be found by an archaeologist, requires no devastation - just that Light builds a second lab in secret. And the series does become about Zero, because the original Megaman is not what Inafune wanted Megaman to be. Zero is really his original idea for the series before Capcom watered it down for the original 8-bit megaman. Later, he was able to bring the idea to fruition with Zero in MMX. This theory is underwhelming but requires no cataclysm and ties everything together...

[@Dacha1997]

Being defeated by the robotic memento of light, Such regret, much anger, very defeat Wow

[@andrewr4525]

That is what I was thinking...

[@diegomedina9637]

so Wily was secretly doge?

[@HippoPig21_is_awesome]

That is what it was thinking. Just imagine Wily always talking Doge-ish. Such Hack. Very Robot Masters. Much annoying beeping noise. (From the Wily Capsule) Wow.

[@Zero-tn4kk]

Here's my theory: Phoenix Wright either built or is related to the creator of Mega Man because, not only are they both Capcom IPs, but Dr. Lights' original Japanese name is Dr. Wright. So Phoenix probably lost a pretty big trial and so he stopped being a lawyer, changed his name to Thomas, and decided to work in robotics with Dr. Albert Wily where they built Proto Man, Rock, Roll and the 6 robot masters and then he was betrayed by Wily and turned Rock into Mega Man. Either that, or it's his son or Grandson named Thomas...

[@Zero-tn4kk]

Someone share this so Phoenix can see this!

[@Zero-tn4kk]

*****, share this, please...

[@Zero-tn4kk]

[@WormCathedral]

His japanese name was Right not Wright.

It was originally Wright.

[@ShabadoobieVT]

I. Can't. Stop. Watching. This. Fucking. Video. Holy shit Dookie, this amount of awesome is why I instantly subscribed a year ago last Mega Man March Mega Month Madness. Keep it up!

[@TallFry2]

Wow, this theory is exactly like my theory only with a few details I hadn't thought of (that of Serges) explained as well. Now think about this. Starting in Mega Man Zero 3, you meet a man by the name of Weil. Weil has created the "Ultimate Reploid" in Omega. Near the end of the game (spoiler alert) Weil admits that he is, and I quote, "a bona fide human". And then in the final stage of the battle with Omega, you discover that the one you've been fighting is Zero's original body. The body he was originally built with, albiet refitted to be more streamlined. And Omega, at the time, was a total freaking psychopath (much like in Zero's initial fight against Sigma). Also, fun fact, Zero is often called "Zero Omega". So think about that. Weil also states that his body can't be truly destroyed, nor can his mind, as of Zero 4 after the attempt on his life. However, Zero eventually defeats him. And then we jump another hundred years into the future, to Mega Man ZX. More precisely, ZX Advent. The mission is to stop the spread of Model W. Your opponent, at the beginning of the game, is uncertain. But then it's revealed to be one of the ruling party, the Sage Trinity. The most human-like immortal among them, Master Albert. Does that name sound familiar by any chance? And it's later revealed that Albert is even able to literally switch bodies. Wily not only succeeded in making the war last hundreds of years, even if his masterpiece was on his side for such a long time, but... He eventually worked his way back up and became the absolute ruler of modern society (he took over the world) not just once, but TWICE!

I've known about all these theories for (at least what feels like) a long time but actually hearing it, it really makes the mind blow sink in (and then spray all over).

[@Paparoach493]

Use to watch these vids all the time, miss your vids ahaha

[@cling1233]

"mega man month" Only Megaman things: A run through of a mega man game and one other video about mega man k

[@whitevii1533]

Oh my gooood another one. Who cares? It had more content (in both variety AND time) than last years Mega Man Month so I'm not complaining. About 130 minutes (over 2 hours) of Mega Man content for one month. That's a respectable amount of content for one person.

[@Melkac]

WhiteVII Unless you don't care about the power challenge, then it's...about 11 minutes.

[@cling1233]

WhiteVII You aren't thinking about how 119 of those minutes included one playthrough of one megaman game. It was basically just a rushed lets play and one real video.

[@whitevii1533]

***** I did consider that - and that is a fair point. 68% of last years Mega Man March Madness content was a Megaman X walkthrough. If you didn't like that you were left with 36 minutes of content. The Power Challenge makes up 89% of this month but you're still left with 15 minutes of content. That's the difference of 1 or 2 videos at best. The reason the percentage is so high is just because he was doing a challenge LP and not a regular play-through which would have taken half the time, probably. And I mean, if you didn't like the Power Challenge then I doubt the walkthrough was up your alley, either. If so you have really obscure tastes. I enjoy anything Megaman and I enjoy dookie so I wasn't disappointed. In fact this year had me coming back more because I actually looked forward to seeing the next power challenge video. I mean, it wasn't perfect. Sure, it could've used a Top Ten to really set it a cut above last year but I really don't think the difference is big enough to warrant the amount of hate he's been getting.

[@weeb7778]

75 dislikers died that night...

[@shadyreck4389]

one more as died

[@Kalebfenoir]

I LIKE this theory. What if Wily wasn't the only AI? What if Light did the same; those pods X found everywhere...kinda seemed convienient they'd have the required parts he'd need. Imagine if, near the end of X1, you didn't get the Buster upgrade, but got boots from an armour type from 5 games down the series? I think the pods customize themselves because Light's AI is watching what is going on in the world, and deciding what parts to put out when X approaches.

[@Chrisezo]

Also, if you look at how X gains his Body Armor power ups, he downloads them from Light's capsules and when they're installed they appear on him as if X had nanobots inside his body that respond to programming which would explain the Auto repair systems talked about in X1. In Megaman X5,6 and 7 you can see that Lights Capsules no longer download and install the Data onto X like they did from X1-4, instead he gives chips to X or Zero so that Douglas can install them onto X later so he can form the Falcon and GAEA Armors. My theory is that X and Zero have nanobots inside their bodies which respond to programming and that is why they are so different from all the Reploids which are the imperfect clones of X. If you look at it this way then it makes sense when Zero miraculously recovered from X5 in X6 like if he was new, his programming was just exposed to all the Virus activity around the atmosphere which boosted his Auto repair recovery from so much severe damage. Then if you jump hundreds of years into the future to the Megaman Zero series you see that the way they got rid of the Virus in the atmosphere was with Cyber-elves and the reason why there was still Mavericks around was because of the new generation reploids ability to go Maverick at will which only X, Zero and AXL had knowledge of.

[@legocuber0625]

What is it with 8? 8 worlds in super mario, 8 robot masters, or is that a coincidence?

[@marsella527]

seriously one of the best theories I have heard of any franchise

[@ThePedrohbc]

Very nice video, the part of possibly Serges being actually Dr. Wily I already knew, but the virus fan theory, pretty cool!

[@dracocrusher]

Makes more sense than most "I planned this stuff" reveals.

[@shindoushuichi0287]

kind of missed the time between the last megaman game and the first X game. theory there is Zero did awaken before X and still during Megaman's time. Dr. Light seals X while Mega Man, Protoman and the upgraded Eddie (the green fat robot from megaman 7 turning into the green bot from Megaman X forest stage), fight Zero and only Eddie manages to beat Zero back who goes back to be repaired but He also ends up killing Dr. Wily once he is repaired but Bass sacrifices himself to seal Zero back up. this theory shows what happened to the entire cast of the original Megaman show. The webcomic Bob and George used to have these awesome animations showing these events as the might have unfolded. Zero kills pretty much everyone. Dr. Light, Roll, Megaman, Protoman, Bass, Dr. Wily. its only Eddie that beats him which is why the fight between him and X in the forest stage of X1 is such a important moment showing how powerful X truly is.

[@SwordofTimeGaming]

the green robot is Auto, Eddie is the chest robot which gives items Just saying

[@shindoushuichi0287]

Sword of Time whatever. way to ignore the rest of the fucking post.

[@dookieshed]

George D I was going to go into the cataclysm theory because I really like it, but the more research I did, the more evidence I found of it not being true :-/

[@shindoushuichi0287]

dookieshed yeah. Its more of a well thought out fanfiction twisting of events then anything really based on the games. but I always just thought it had happened right after the events of Power Fighters 2 and mega man 10.

[@SwordofTimeGaming]

George D Also I read it, thought it was interesting, and saw the wrong name, and tried to help.

[@OtakuDeju]

Hold on. Isoc was also Dr. Wily's Ai as well.

[@XynthoanXV2]

Thank you! This is just what I wanted for Mega Man Mega March. And nice theory. I knew that Roboenza could've also been the Sigma Virus and Zero was created by Wiley, but I didn't know that Wiley could have still been "alive" and all that.

[@KjinAboii]

This was awesome!! I knew a lot of this but not the stuff from X. The only thing you missed was Wiley's appearance in the Zero games and his legacy in ZX as model W.

[@Jasza676]

About that last part, "Dr Wily greatest creation becoming greatest hero", from what I remember is kinda like only half of the story as technically Zero is both hero and villain at the same time: - Original body of Zero (later upgraded by X-Hunters) was stolen and turned by Weil into Omega - the one who would destroy the world - Original "brain" of Zero (aka Control Chip, like in X2) was put into new vessel, discovered by Ciel, and that is the Zero we play as - the one who saves the world So basically, Wily plan was still working, perfect body of Zero would win the war, but apparently he didn't knew that he programmed so good AI that it surpassed the body (and stopped it). Oh BTW, with that Serges line, wasn't he also referring to X as "Megaman"? Everybody calls him just X as they don't know his origins of being "next Megaman" while by saying "Megaman" it suggests that he knows his origins as Light's creation and original Megaman successor. (Japanese version only)

[@SenshiSam]

Keiji Inafune was asked about X name, he states that "Megaman" is just a title the name of the character is just X, not Megaman X.

[@Jasza676]

SenshiSam I didn't said it is. That doesn't changes the fact that most characters don't call him like that (because that don't even know about it) while Serges does.

[@SenshiSam]

Jasza676 None call him as "Megaman X" that is only in the english version of Megaman X2 and X3, in the rest of the games he is called just "X"

[@Jasza676]

SenshiSam I just said that they don't call him "Megaman X". -.- I am not talking about English translation but about Japanese version where Serges calls X "Rockman X" (aka Megaman). Read my comment instead of saying what I already said.

[@UltimaKeyMaster]

I just have one problem with the creation of Omega: Why the hell is he just a dark recolor of Zero's NEW body? Nobody knew of that body when we heard of Omega beforehand, only the giant, white-ish one with all those energy attacks. So who exactly copied who for Zero's new design?

It doesn't really fit in to these theories, its just that a lot of people believe that Mighty No. 9 is gonna be the revival of the megaman series.
