Mega Man X5 [100% Run] - Cutscene: X's "Bad" Ending

If Zero became a Maverick during your playthrough, you are pretty much 100% garunteed to get this ending once you defeat Sigma. The difference between this and X's regular ending is X ends up losing his memory of Zero, and it's just overall more depressing really.

I actually learned recently that it was mistranslation or something and that Zero in X6 was actually fixed in a similar fasion to X so Dr.Wily acually fixed him which makes a lot more sense. But that line is still hilarious Lol one of the most memorable dialogue lines in X6.

Really smart for a guy named thomas light, huh?) but if he was going to erase X's memory, why not do the same with everyone else?

That wasn't his ghost, that was his AI

[@Egobyte83]

I kind of feel like Zero becoming maverick sort of fits the overall game better though. Like, if he doesn't become maverick, then X and Zero begin to fight for bullshit reasons, while X fighting maverick Zero is a fight where X really has to deal with the dilemma of having to face his friend in battle as a true maverick (one of his worst nightmares) while trying to figure out if this is Zero's true nature or not. Like, he knows his friend wouldn't want to fight him, and yet... there is something there that has always motioned their lives in that direction.

[@Andre-od5hf]

Agree with this, the fight is much more dramatic if you fight him as maverick zero rather than them just duking it out for basically no reason. I also find funny on how the bad ending on this game is longer (and thus more fleshed out) than the good ending, when its usually the other way around (for obvious reasons), like if X wasant so over pissy about even the mention of ZERO i dont even think this could have been considered a "bad" ending.

That was copy X... the real X dies in Zero 2, the 2 copy X's die in the first and the third.

[@skarmenh9]

Megaman x6 was not supposed to happen, done without Inafune. So if X6 didn't happen, X would be the villain, which would be likely seeing how X doesn't remember Zero at all and most of the reasons why X was as he was, as a person, before being repaired was because of Zero, if I remember right.

[@joseluis.colungag]

No. X didn't turn villain. After Zero vanishes (dies, explodes, disappears, ceases to exist), X was one of the leaders of the Maverick Hunters, Signas and those general were still in charge (although no one really mentions them). After many years of peace, X, being the leader of his own army, battles agains a wicked minded Dr. Weil because he wants the energy and power from the Mother Elf for his own evil plans and whatnot. Almost 100 years passed, X looses the will to fight either for whatever reason you want. In order to mantain the peace at the new utopia Neo Arcadia, and for people to not notice the absense of X, Ciel (somehow she appears here on history) creates a copy of X, so X can finally rest in peace or whatever. The new Neo Arcadia leader, Copy X, is as powerful as X, but without his heart, so he becomes a tyrant dictator. It's unclear when the Maverick Hunters stopped existing and X became the government.

[@joseluis.colungag]

Since Neo Arcadia lies under a dictatorship, a Maverick is now whatever or whoever don't want to go with the rules and laws. Reploids and humans alike. That's when Neo Arcadia became hell.

[@randommaverick3039]

He's saying that the story to MMZ was supposed to be different, that the REAL X was going to be the villain, but that changed when Capcom made MMX6 behind Inafune's back, so he had to rewrite Zero 1 to fit with X6. whatisthisnonsense.tumblr.com/post/37275213576/megaman-zero-the-original-concept

Memories of a happier time. I got this ending when I first played this game.

[@ankihansen2489]

"Elysium" is Neo Arcadia

[@EkenLCH]

Yes

[@m3gAm37aLmAnX]

As many times as I've completed this game, I've never once seen this ending, which is quite surprising. I only got the Maverick Zero scene once before, back when I was still a kid, and didn't bother playing through the virus stages after that. Ever since then, I guess I always strove to get the good ending. Now that I am seeing this though, it makes a lot of sense and puts a lot into perspective for me about the lore of the series. X says he wants to build a perfect utopia called "Elysium" but obviously that's gonna take years, even centuries to achieve. Although it looks like that got started in X8 as the Jakob Project, with the orbital elevator and building a base on the moon. Cut to Megaman Zero now, 100 years later, a possible prototype of Elysium called Neo Arcadia has been built, ruled over by a copy of X which Dr. Weil created, who has all the same memories and ambitions as the original X. In fact I think it's safe to assume that Weil had a lot of involvement in the construction of Neo Arcadia before his banishment. In Zero 4, Neo Arcadia is decimated by Ragnarok, but sometime between the events of ZX and Legends, the Sage Trinity as well as the Reploids of that era sought to rebuild it, thus becoming the "elders" that are spoken of at the end of Legends 2, and millennia later, becomes the ultimate paradise that X had always dreamed of.... Elysium

[@kabookegrande8998]

At this point there is just too much lore in mega man

[@bigdoggo5827]

Dr. Weil didn't create Copy X. Ciel created him, a perfect copy except that he didn't go through simulations like X did

[@juanse985]

I still dream on an Elysium for this real world... I'll achieve it someday, I'm sure of it, just like X did.

Your theory is true. Although the humans didn't coexist with Reploids on Elysium, they might've moved back to Terra and then Carbons were made. Also, it makes you wonder; is X the Master in Legends 2???

Or an infantile giant robot.At the point we hit ZX and the Legends era.. we cant even tell who's what without help. If ZX3 and Legends 3 got made.. it would take care of this.

[@jinthekingkazama1159]

I have a bad ending idea for Zero if you were allowed to play as Maverick/Awakened Zero after the Enigma and Shuttle failed, the pre-battle dialogue would go exactly the same except that Zero isn't flying but he would still have his aura and unarmored X would appear WITHOUT the lifesavers, X would transform to his Ultimate Armor like he did when you play as Zero, X has the exact same moves as when fighting against him as normal Zero, after you beaten X he uses Soul Body like he did when you fight against him, after he used it you see Zero crounching except he doesn't have his aura anymore meaning he returned to normal and he says the same thing as normal Zero's post-battle dialogue. The dialogue and cutscene will be the same except that this time when Sigma appears Zero wasn't able to get up and stop him from killing X, helplessly watching him getting killed by Sigma while Zero's death theme is playing, after he died Zero screamed "X" while crying and when Sigma attempts to kill him too he gets up and deflects his attack with his saber, Sigma was surprised, Zero screams to him that he will destroy him but Sigma ignores him and leaves. After Zero returned to the base a brand new cutscene plays, all characters are sad about X's death, especially Zero, at the end of the cutscene, Zero swears to the others that Sigma won't ever come back again, then the same dialogue plays as the briefing of the final stage, then when you enter a stage, you will notice that you won't be able to play as unarmored X or any other Xs anymore, since when you try to change the character, it stays on Zero. When Zero reaches Sigma, the same dialogue will play except that this time Sigma says he managed to turn Zero Maverick, but then says he unfortunately got turned back to his normal self, in the second and final phase, instead of Sigma asking Zero who is the strongest between X and Zero, he will say that Zero is the stronger Reploid, that he doesn't hesitate when fighting, just like X's version, the post-battle dialogue will be the same except that Sigma doesn't mention X, the ending would be that Zero actually managed to escape without a scratch, and since Sigma is truly defeated, he says there is nothing to worry about anymore, but he feels sad for the fact that he will never be able to see X again, then remembers when he was created, except this time he sees Wily's full face, and somehow also remembers his name, and he sees himself fighting Sigma, like in his good ending, then Iris, and the game ends showing Zero returned back to the base, the usual credits play but the theme is "Armageddon". Also, I know X is the main character, but that would have been a cool ending in my opinion.

[@yayo_youtube]

This sounds more like a creepy pasta than an actually ending, but I still like the idea.

[@jinthekingkazama1159]

@@yayo_youtube Thanks!

[@yeyo3659]

The truth really set in for me in this ending when Signas, Douglas and Alia are talking about X's return like nothing happened. Remember, AI Dr. Light is aware of Alia being an incredibly skilled navigator AND programmer and knows about Reploid functions, perhaps even more than Lifesaver, and she IS in awe of the level of protection it was put on X to refuse data of Zero. If Light truly wanted for X to forget the pain, he would've deleted memories of Sigma as well, maybe even of the whole Maverick Wars, but he knew deep down that memory is a very important part of being a human, yet he went back against this ideal, he know realizes is flawed (more context on this added thanks to Rockman 11), and decides that his creation must have no ties of ever building a friendship again with the most powerful creation of his former best friend (Dr. Willy). in Rockman 11 he still holds out the hope that maybe they could work together, but by this time, he realizes that putting X through the pain of seeing what could've been is, in itself, not human, so he proceeds to block it, to sever that memory that made X so strong in the first place: he looked up to Zero as a brother, the only trace of evil being what Willy left in his capsule (the original virus) and the forced awakened state, and yet he still allowed X to make a bond, Light had hope, but the battle totally broke that resolve. Light was scared, terrified perhaps that X couldn't bring himself to actually take down his friend, used as a tool of mass destruction, due to his high humanity cognitive program. X is after all, merciful in nature, and a total "coward" (more well translated to "worried about everything and everyone" by an amnesic Zero himself in another scenario, two centuries later). And so he takes it upon himself and actually goes back on his principle of allowing free thinking to a new generation, and puts a seal on X, his own creation, because he is realizing in this scenario that MAYBE, compassion is not what will save the world if X is needed. So Alia had it right, she never believed in miracles, because it actually wasn't a miracle. Not because it was Light who did the repairs and they just don't know, she bets is not a miracle because she knows deep down, that the fact that X doesn't accept Zero's data is actually evil in a way. A miracle of X not being able to become stronger by remembering his fallen comrades, the whole reason he's able to be so human and so mysterious to them, and the source of his unlimited potential, is missing now, so in a way, X was lost and became someone else, marked by battle and ready to protect humanity, but maybe, just maybe, not being able to open up anymore to give mercy to an enemy. That's no miracle, therefore... she doesn't believe in it. It's really painful when you think about it, but the more you read between the lines, they're not only surprised, they're incredibly sad, his body is back, but an important part of his humanity is now forever lost, and not even Alia can do anything about it, that's why she's so harsh, both as a realist, and impotency. They don't know what X could be capable of now, they're not even sure what's gonna happen in the future... and IN THIS scenario... the idea was that indeed, X became something that Light most feared, so Alia had it right... It was Zero, a necessary evil, in a way, that kept him learning, and now that he's sealed... not even the 30 years testing program can fix things, and then the original idea of the Zero series happened. Alia had it right, it wasn't a miracle... it was just a matter of time...

[@beverlypotter3236]

Agreed you hit the nail right on the head by placing that on him light took away what made him who he was now that that's gone you have a heartless x that can't feel anything now he's what light was afraid he would become and it's his fault

[@kingdomcome3914]

This comment... You perfectly summarized exactly WHY this is a bad ending. Zero was the one who had encouraged X to continue rising up to the Maverick threats and Sigma as a whole. Who will X look to now for hope in the event of stronger foes and crushing defeat? X would eventually lose himself to an extremely merciless mentality with no one to reign him in, and would no longer be able to be stopped by friend and foe alike, what Dr Light feared would happen.

But things got altered via ZX.. it makes me wonder if biometal X and Cyber Elf X are the same.

[@virtualpellot933]

Keep in mind that this ending goes straight to Legends and not to X6-ZX2. Also X6, X7 and X8 are canon (although Command Mission might actually not be canon). In Zero's ending in X6 the event takes places years after all the games but perhaps before either the Elf Wars and obviously on either case Zero 1; furthermore in a similar case Zero's ending in X7, Zerohas a nightmare that foreshadows the events of Zero 1 in which he dreams that X has labeled almost every reploid in existance as Maverick including Zero and not only that but X speak wierd (very mechanized) which it is implied that unknown to Zero back then that this X is a clone as in Copy X (if you played Megaman Zero 1 and 3 you know how bizarre Copy X speaks).

That bit is taken care of in ZX. In the ZX era, Reploids and humans make it to the pont where they overlap. The only way they can tell the difference is via the Triangle mark on repliod's forehead. (its part of the intro of ZX and found in the instruction manual) at that point prettymuch everyone is partially machine in some way.

"But zero dies and x will become evil so that means the ending wouldn't be a good start" bro please, just because you love a character so much doesn't mean his fate has to always be on the good side, The bad ending CLEARLY shows X's initial phase of becoming a threath like Copy X in MMZ, and sadly this idea would work perfectly since on X4 ending X asks Zero if he will destroy him in case he even becomes a maverick, which was HOW it was supposed to be, but no, X timeline got fucked because of greedness, you can thank capcom for that.

[@Knight41b]

I wonder if this is the reason why Project X Zone made it seem that X and Zero knew Tron Bonne and her family line? Does that mean that the X series and Legends series coexisted simultaneously in the same time period? That would mean Capcom retconned the fake humans into real ones right?

[@ShadowRockZX]

Well, it's the same as the ending credits theme in this game.

[@BonkBro]

If this ending tied into the ledgends series then explain how X would die.

[@skibot9974]

I don’t know if this is a popular or unpopular opinion but I feel this was intended to be the canon ending. We all know the original plan was for X to be the villain of the Zero series and having no memories of his best friend would help start him on that dark path. In addition Zero going maverick makes for a way more emotional fight than a misunderstanding. Plus when X6 was made while they followed the good ending for the most part they still had Humanity near extinct as if that was needed for the future of the franchise

I might be in the minority of this, but I think _this_ is the ending that the original MMZ was going to play off of pre-rewrite. Who is X as a character if all of the growth he had from being unsealed, to the aftermath of X5 was just... Removed, yet he had the distaste for Mavericks all the same?

Is this the same "X"?

[@aaronneabril20]

When X mentioned He wanted to create Elysium where Humans coexist with reploids. Sounds like a villains line of you ask me. I remember in x4 when The General mentioned he wanted to create a world just for reploids without threatening their human creators. "our own utopia".

[@alexgarnica8498]

So, this ending leads to Legends? Interesting, but still I disagree. I say that regardless in what ending you get, it will always lead to Legends. For the Zero-ZX timeline, Master Thomas does an Uno Reverse card and reveals to be the a villain and talks about resetting the world(flood anyone?) Also, in the Zero games, some places have designs that look like in parts of areas in Legends. X6-Command Mission timeline is basically X on the bad ending, the exception being that he didn't lose his memories and Zero is there fighting with him until who knows. Either way, the way for Legends is inevitable for all Timelines, in my opinion.

[@naoaquieopatrickpatrick8565]

this ending was supposed to Lead to both MMZ, ZX and Legends, but Capcom decided to go against Inafune's idea, and decided to make X6, an average game with horrible level design, unbalanced difficulty, and a story with plotholes... basically this ending would've been a better ending for the X series and the real X would be the real villain of MMZ, not his copy version, wasted potential because of greed, that's capcom for you.
