The Pac-Man thing in Secret Level gives me flashbacks to Bomberman Act Zero and Captain N in that a character anyone has a basic idea of is turned into something else.

And of course, back when people used to make edgy interpretations of Pac and some where goofy parodies.

But it's also weird considering how Secret Level is like what, different episodes based on different games?

Are we sure the idea they had for Pac-Man couldn't have been better using a different series?

Alien guy with sword fighting monsters in a harsh place, don't we have some more fitting games for that or were there some licensing issues?

Because, specially considering Netflix has something like Love Death and Robots: If I were to make a series where each episode is about a different game, I'd try to make each episode feel different by highlighting how each game series feels or rather the sort of mood and vibe people except out of them.

Or like, how people imagine these characters in their heads.

Some games could have that "deep, cinematic, orchaestral" presentation but others could look like something else.

Even if you need different animators and writers.

And we have Smash reminding us how these characters technically are in a basic level and even stuff like RePac.

This show does feel like if Captain N had a serious reboot.

An ideal Megaman animated thing should've looked like Mega Man: Upon a Star but with an actual Megaman plot or something.

Someone could say "you just hate when something unique is done with an IP" but i feel like there will always be occasional lines.

Even with Doom, people didn't like when the demons are retconned or reinterpretated as actual aliens in books and a movie, but are okay with some designs and art styles.

And most games are still violent FPS games about a green armored guy killing Hell beasts with a chainsaw and shit.

The Pac-Man thing is like whenever an old fairy tale or kids book character becomes public domain and someone does a horror movie out of it.

Top 5 best videogame soundtracks

(Hey babu <3 )

Kind of a hard choice but I'll do my best lmao

Brütal Legend

Brütal Legend is probably the most blatantly, indulgently, unapologetically pandering game I've played in my life, which I'm not saying as a bad thing bc it happens to be pandering to people with my tastes and, most importantly, happens to do an extremely good job at it. Like it would've been extremely easy for a game like this fall flat on its face and feel all "how do you do fellow metalheads" but luckily it was made by people who have a genuine love for the genre and know their shit, and the soudntrack reflects that. The licensed soundtrack is a great sampler platter of a bunch of different metal subgenres and has a pretty decent mix of mainstream and slightly more obscure bands.

But the original soundtrack composed for the game by Peter McConell is also amazing like holy shit. Like. Way better than you'd expect from the funny haha Jack Black metal game.

Hotline Miami

Literally not much to say, it's the hotline Miami soundtrack. The music is a huge part of the experience and the track selection knocks it out of the park.

APE OUT

I was conflicted on including this because it's less of a soundtrack and more of a game-long procedural jazz drum jam, but it's like. The music makes the whole experience. The way the drums sync up with and respond to the action onscreen is extremely viscerally satisfying and the choice to have the title cards syn up to the music and to have the entire soundtrack be just drums and then have the rest of the instruments come on during the credits are extremely inspired.

Terraria

Idk what to say about this one it's just. An extremely solid soundtrack. Extremely varied, each track kicks ass and sets an extremely unique and distinctive atmosphere for each biome.

Doom (both classic and reboot)

See above about how Brütal Legend is extremely, blatantly, unapologetically indulgent and I love it because it does a good job at it? Yeah.

Fave track from classic Doom:

Fave track from Doom reboot:

Honorable mentions:

Katana Zero: It was a close call between this one and Hotline Miami but ultimately I went for Hotline Miami

Undertale/Deltarune: Objectively it's probably one of the best videogame soundtracks in recent memory, I just haven't spent enough time with the games for it to have a big effect on me

Earthbound/Mother series in general: Same as above. If I had played more of the game I'm sure it'd be on this list no doubt.

The Elder Scrolls III - Morrowind: I legitimately think it's some of Jeremy Soule's best work, and Nerevar Rising is such an iconic melody that it went on to become the main theme of the entire series from that point on. However... It's just not enough music for a game as big as Morrowind, meaning you'll be hearing these tracks over and over and over again. By the time you're halfway through the game it will have lost a lot of magic through sheer repetition. Also the fact that the music system lacks any location detection and instead just plays the same exploration tracks regardless of if you're exploring a city, a peaceful field, or a creepy tomb means that often the soundtrack ends up taking away from the atmosphere of the game.

Any NES Megaman game: Legitimately some of the best music on the NES and one of the best examples of working within system limitations, but sadly I kinda don't like Megaman.

[beevean]

I know this is probably unlikely but what if we get another chance at Maverick Hunter X reboot with it's sequel (ideally with the original ideas plan of course)

Who knows what they want to do with Megaman, especially the X series.

The idea of a reboot wasn't bad. Megaman Hunter X3, X5 and X6 would have been sorely needed. X3 in particular would have been interesting, as the og game is not awful but marred with incomprehensible decisions such as everything about Zero lol

[brendering]

On YouTube? 28 years ago was 1996. FoxKids/FoxBox (then 4Kids, then CW4Kids, then Toonzai, then Vortexx) started airing in 1990 and continued well into the 2010s. Other networks also had some big shows (Yugioh was everywhere lol). I'd be kind of shocked if 28-year-olds managed to avoid an entire childhood of network-aired anime and not see their first anime until their teen years. I wouldn't be surprised if people might have forgotten some of these English-aired anime tho, so let's dive into some history/fun facts! When a current 28-year-old was a preteen, this was on network (non-cable) TV:

I'm also including this real, actual ad that aired in 2006 to promote 4Kids because it's a treasured part of dubbed anime history lol. This is a great example of how cringe anime marketing used to be, and also of what YouTube quality used to be like:

Here's a list of some of the anime airing on Fox and WB in 2000-2010. Needless to say, this isn't all the anime that aired on network TV in North America at the time, but I'd be surprised if an adult over 25 hadn't seen at least one (like One Piece?). Pokemon gets an honorable mention since it's specifically excluded from the poll; it started airing in English in 1999 and hasn't stopped. Cardcaptors Dragonball/DBZ (another one that started before I was born and went for decades) Digimon Digimon Adventure 02 Digimon Tamers Digimon Frontier Every generation has a Pokemon, a DBZ, and a Digimon haha

Sailor Moon (please note this could be confusing some of y'all: it originally aired in NorthAm in 1995, but also re-aired in 1997, 1998, and 1999-2002, so that's why people in different age groups remember it lololol)

Another fun and little-known fact: when Sailor Moon first came over, NorthAm tried to give it the Power Rangers treatment. They made a more Western-style animated pilot and paired it with live action sequences (and merch, of course).

Here's a much more in-depth look at the history of English Sailor Moon if you're interested.

Megaman NT Warrior Dinozaurs Escaflowne Medabots Mon Colle Knights Fighting Foodons

Transformers Transformers: Cybertron Kirby: Right Back at Ya! Ultimate Muscle Shaman King

Astro Boy Sonic X F-Zero GP Legend Viewtiful Joe

One Piece Spider Riders Tokyo Mew Mew Magical DoReMi Yugioh Yugioh 5Ds Dinosaur King

A lot of non-cable channels stopped licensing anime by 2010 since cable networks had picked them up, and since YouTube had come a long way by then.

Some YT history: YT launched in 2005. In 2007 they added text on screen (like for translations). In 2010 the video length limit was raised from 10 minutes to 15 minutes, and quality was upped significantly. This created an explosion in (illegally) uploaded shows, since a typical TV episode would now fit into just 2 parts. Between this and the expansion of anime to US/NorthAm cable channels, regular non-cable channels kind of bowed out of the anime licensing game (although there was a last gasp in the form of CW Vortexx from 2012-2014).

To place this in the timeline, 2011 is when The Amazing World of Gumball started and that Thundercats anime reboot happened.

Also just as a fun fact, anime started broadcasting in the US all the way back in the 60s (the original Astro Boy in 1963)!

Anyway I hope you enjoyed diving down this anime history rabbit hole or just reliving some forgotten shows from your childhood. If you'd like more nostalgia, here are teeny tiny clips of 100 anime openings from the 2000s:

MMZ - Family Reunion Alternate Universe

cyber-elf Wily: *Gloating* Oh please, I know for the fact that people admired my greatest creation. For what Zero has done for the world I bet Zero is dying to thank me for what I did to the world.

Zero: *being firmed as he makes an announcement* Alright everyone, that old man that built me and unleash that maverick virus centuries ago is comeing here.

Zero: If you see his Cyber-elf, you have my direct permission to punch him.

Cyber elf X: 0-0!

Harpuia: *baffled* You want us to punch air?

Zero: *dead cold response* Yes

[you-cant-fuck-megaman]

the maverick guide is absolutely amazing!! thanks for putting in so much work to try and make sense of stuff that Bob Capcom himself couldn't explain.

anyway, I guess Zero and Sigma aren't on the list cus they're anomalies that would mess up the data, but how would you class them?

thank you! the X series is my favorite subseries, so i like going into it.

zero would be Built / Resurrected, since he was intentionally designed by Dr. Wily to be a walking buzzsaw of destruction. he's kind of an asshole like that. he's not anymore because he was designed to be the worst evil robot ever designed ever and so getting infected with the maverick virus made him a good boi (no, really. no, really, that's actually canon), but he's still intentionally designed for every problem to be solved with at least three stab wounds and a few unnecessary flips. and, likewise, he died and then came back multiple times. so, pretty cut and dry.

sigma is a little bit interesting, partially because of how utterly fucked the X timeline's story is. Bob Capcom did not give a single shit when the X series started, inafune didn't actually have much of an end goal for the series, much less a start.

even reading past the obvious haha-funny slice-of-life anime-work-comedy, by their own admission the development of megaman X was pretty horrific. megaman game development in general almost always tends to be extremely hectic and painful, there aren't many games with positive stories behind them. sigma was kind of slapped in as an antagonist, and as of X1 and X2, he just turned evil for unclear reasons. humans limiting reploids. somehow. so you could declare him Lol.

X3 introduced the maverick virus as a story concept, which was what caused Sigma to get fucky, so you could declare him Viral. X4 introduced the fact that the maverick virus came from Zero and Sigma was infected while trying to defend his troops from the red bastard, so you could declare him Unfortunate. inafune was truly and completely flying by the seat of his pants.

the man left the series after the end of X5, and as impressively aerodynamic as inafune's pants were, Bob Capcom's deployed replacement for him had no pants to fly by. X6 to X8 didn't change much with regards to Sigma's motivation, but after the series had "ended", inafune got an extra set of pants and wanted to restart the series to make things a little more cohesive. perhaps X could actually be the main character of the Megaman X series this time, instead of Zero's sidekick. to that extent, Megaman Maverick Hunter X's story is a little more fleshed out, and even gives Sigma a clear motivation. he believes that reploids are chock full of potential, but working underneath humanity limits their potential--evolution requires people to struggle and to suffer, and so by starting a war, he can make reploids take the next step. X's infinite potential because of his ability to worry (????) is something that fascinates him, and so he wants to push X to the brink and turn him into a war machine. so, to that extent, that's pretty clearly Intentional!

but then the reboot sells like three-day-old McNuggies during Lent, so the reboot series is cut off. and any attempts at furthering the storyline there along with it kind of gets put in the mud. usually, when it comes to media storylines, it's always the most recent entry's iteration of events that takes precedence--"retcon" is a portmanteau of "retroactive continuity", the process of new information rewriting over things that happened. but if, in doing so, the retcon introduces new information that conflicts with the information that comes afterwards, how the hell do you handle it? what IS sigma's deal? do we take the new motivation from the new timeline? is that caused by the Maverick virus? or is it something he'd felt the whole time?

if you have a friend who knows about touhou, ask them about what happened in the lunar wars. it’ll be great. honest.

and likewise, what the hell is his final fate? Sigma's a pretty clear candidate for Resurrected, given how often he dies and comes back. but the ending of X8, spoiler alert for the twelve others that don't know and sincerely care about plot in megaman (i'm the 13th), has Sigma straight-up Retired at the hands of Lumine. dude's completely wiped out in a remote area, with nowhere to spread his virus, surrounded by a host of people immune to his virus and turn into him for funsies. the idea was for Lumine to become the new Big Bad Evil Guy of the series, and a fat lot of opportunity that got. but as far as any post-X8 story is concerned, Sigma is gone for goodsies. even the stories set after the fact, like the Elf Wars and Command Mission, don't have him around coming back. which is good, honestly, i find the X story more interesting when Sigma isn't the main focus.

THAT BEING SAID I CAN FUCKING GUARANTEE YOU THAT IF CAPCOM MAKES AN X9 AND SETS IT AFTER THAT, THAT MR. CLEAN-LOOKIN' TIN-ASS IS COMING BACK BECAUSE OF THE GODDAMN STATUS QUO

but yeah for now i'd classify him as Intentional / Retired and sigma balls

Since someone showed interest

During my rewrite for Cyber Heroine, it was originally going to be 100% based on the manga for Megaman NT Warrior with some occasional details from the anime and games thrown in. Some of the stuff stayed for the current, other stuff did not. Here were some ideas I had drafted:

The main cast were high school age, not elementary school.

Netto and her friends had drifted away come middle school but would get back together as friends during high school.

Netto was a loner and would spend her free time coding food, clothes, and toys for Net Navi’s, which is how she got income on the side. She is an unofficial intern at Sci-Labs since they double check her work.

The link was already in place thanks to X. Netto and Rockman have a betting pool as to when Yuuichiro was going to tell Netto that she used to have a twin.

70% of the twins using the mental link is just to share bud puns, jokes, and memes.

 Many of Netto’s classmates thought that her parents were divorced since Yuuichiro was never seen at home for more than a day or so.

It was known amongst Netto’s friends and peers that Rockman was modeled after Saito.

Netto and Rockman operated under the aliases of Aile and Vent, a famous hacker duo who operated like the Leverage team. Most of their crimes were giving back data stolen by major corporations to their rightful developers.

Multiple civilian Net Battlers actually fought against WWW if they were registered as B-rank or above, but only if they were near the attack site.

Many of the WWW attacks were actually targeting Netto, with those specifically being arranged by the Professor. Wily did not want anyone killed but hurt was fine.

To keep her cover, Netto had a wardrobe for her regular outfits and one for her Aile outfits.

Enzan and “Aile” had a Batman/Catwoman kind of relationship, where Enzan’s nickname was Mr. Official.

Rockman already had Style Change but had to undergo a trial for Saito Style.

Enzan was not their heir to a major corporation but the heir to a very old family involved in law enforcement, hence his involvement in police work at such a young age.

Enzan was jealous that another teenager, one that had better scores than him, was brought onto the force.

Netto and Enzan’s relationship was like that of Sakura and Syaoran.

When Rockman was first deleted, Blues would come over and watch Studio Ghibli and Disney films with Netto to just be there for her.

Mamoru was still the same age as when he first appeared in canon and raised by his aunt Tamako. He lived with her in the countryside when he wasn’t in the hospital. Netto would bring him books and games to keep him occupied. When Netto wasn’t around, he played with Serenade.

Serenade was VERY protective of Mamoru and would do anything to help Netto since she could make their NetOp laugh even when he was having a bad day.

Much of Rockman and Forte’s drama/rivalry was due to Netto. Forte wanted Netto to forsake humanity and be his friend/partner like when she was a kid, but Netto wanted to stay with Rockman and wouldn't turn against humanity.

Despite rejecting his offer, Forte would still come to Netto’s defense if she and Rockman were attacked.

Arcadia existed as a civilization of programs before it was attacked by a splinter cell in Sci-Labs led by Regal. Neo Arcadia was built by the remnants of the first attack.

The Four Guardians (Harpuia, Fefnir, Leviathan, Phantom) were condensed into small files and turned into the Element Programs, which Netto and Rockman stole back.

While operating as Aile in real life, Netto would use the Guardians.

Blues was made from data stolen from Arcadia and was created to be a prototype independent Net Navi that was the perfect soldier aka a Forte that only followed orders.

Laika and Netto were penpals as Laika stayed with the Hikari family when he was younger due to Sharro’s economy and his mother’s declining health. Yuuichiro and Laika’s mother were colleagues, so Laika stayed in Electopia until the economy got better and a permanent home could be found for him.

When the Cyber World and Real Worlds temporarily merged, Alia and Haruka had a girl’s day out.

Saito Style going out of control was due to repressed anger form both Netto and Rockman.

Netto has access to pop culture that didn't come about as planned because of the universe reboot so every once in a while, she makes a reference that nobody understands.

The cover for the illegal Net Battles was movie night, using movie from before the timeline reboot, hence Code 80s Dance Party.

When Double Soul activated, Netto got to keep chips of it like in the anime and people volunteered to try it with Rockman.

Dark Rockman was one of the multiple attempts of Yuuichiro trying to bring back Saito but deemed it a failure when it would not activate. He became a Darkloid due to the anger of being thrown away and abandoned.

Dark Rockman tried to force Netto to go Perfect Synchro with him. When she refused, he tried to kill Netto himself instead of having Shademan do it.

Netto was revealed as Aile during the Netopia Arc but was never formally arrested due to X being involved plus many people lobbying for her release.

Netto also had an identity crisis as to if she was really Hikari Netto or Aile Light due to past life memories.

The Netopia Arc had some real repercussions since the military technically abducted a citizen of another country under false pretenses, which is how X got properly introduced in person.

X, Zero, and Axl were merely mentioned until the Netopia Arc, where they actually showed up. Up until then, the only action they took was smiting opponents they knew ordinary Net Navis could not defeat.

Data Ghosts of the original Classic Robot Masters appeared to stop Nebula Grey.

There were only 3 Cyber Elves and they were larger than most Net Navis.

Cyber Elves had their own language and Netto would slip into it at times of high stress.

Forte was caught because he came to movie night and many were put under arrest for not reporting Forte’s whereabouts, including Blues, Searchman, and Tomohawkman.

X fist fought Duo to save the planet when it was found out that Slur rigged the entire trial.

Rockman got both of Gregar and Falzar’s data, not just Gregar.

Cache found a way to absorb the world like in the anime, not the Cybeasts like in the manga.

Trill was a prototype Net Navi for a Sci-Labs program that would allow Net Navis to have children of their own. He was created during the one year that Rockman was missing.

In the workshopped Ryuusei no Rockman spin-off of the series, Trill grew up to be the King of the Net Navis that fled Earth with the help of Duo when they became completely obsolete outside of basic functions and even helped Subaru return to Earth because it was what his older brother Rockman would want.

Subaru and Misora were main characters who came to the past to help stop Cache and were able to travel back in time thanks to Trill.

By the time Ryuusei no Rockman comes about, there is entire semester dedicated to the ‘Cyber Wars’ aka Netto and friends fighting crime. Subaru is an expert, has all the documentaries, and even fought Gonta for a replica of her headband.

Each college has at least one history degree path that covers history from before the universe reboot and is dedicated to finding the data and traces of it. Sharro has the leading university in the world concerning this subject and a statue of General Laika is in the lobby of the main building.

Cities, buildings, and other landmarks are named after Netto and her friends.

RELATING TO The stuff im about to post in a little bit! with spinel comes the mention of reboot!spinel

so...... this AU has a reboot!bass as a counterpart !!!!!!!!!!!! 

im excited about this one because his design is a mix of the MM10 NES sprite art (not the in-game sprites, but the one i think that appears in the weapon get / it maybe is the select character menu.... i dont remember, i havent watched anyone play MM10 in a bit.) and a little bit of his more finalized concept art for megaman 7.

so with that in mind, reboot!bass is that of how he was when he first appeared in megaman 7, while you still were supposed to think he was an ally to megaman. except, crank that up to 11. 

imagine this, instead. he’s your new ally...your new best friend - of course! so he’s really trying to oversell it. a little more over the top than typical of that of MM7 bass, but enough to still keep it in the realm of being still slightly IC for him.

in any case, he still recognizes X as just megaman at this point in the AU. so during the portion of the SU movie where steven’s running around with reboot!spinel , it’d reflect similarly in this AU where x is running around trying to fix his friends while having to drag along bass. 

of course, in megaman 7, later on bass betrays megaman and destroys the lab. thus revealing his true intentions.

bass still.....has those underlying intentions at his core. however, while i havent thought abt the details of what the equivalent of a gem rejuvenator would be in this AU - whatever it is, it makes him completely forget that of his original function. all that’s still really there is just......the drive to befriend megaman, for whatever reason. 

it’s baffling to X but theres little time to waste wondering about it in its entirety, just........focus on the others.

similarly, bass does end up butting his head into anything he’s doing and makes X far more frustrated than normal , considering he was the one who did this.

but whatever - keep your cool. focus on the task at hand.

later on, though , more starts getting uncovered as X finds out how to fix zero and axl (who i havent really mentioned in this AU that much!! go figure!!! but bc im lazy and dont wanna shoehorn any one else, zero takes up pearl and garnet’s role in this AU. axl is amethyst because............come on. it fits!) 

eventually, you end up with bass remembering things. remembering everything.

from one interaction with the others to the next, he’s remembering everything.

being put away in that.......bunker. you end up realizing bass was put there, because wily didn’t know what else to do with him. his disobedience, lead him to lure him with a new enemy to get rid of him. in some no where area, a strong enough enemy to nearly take him out.

after that, he’ll stumble around and end up where that bunker is. in it, lies a pod, that while it’ll recharge and fix bass............

....... it also put him to sleep. for a long, long time. 

him feeling so out of place with the era is exactly what strikes that cord, added on with x’s slow boiling anger towards him acting the way he is without even a second thought as to the situation at hand.

also like idk maybe bass brings over a really destructive weapon thing thats like the injector in terms of severity but its like........a bomb, or something. IDK I HAVENT THOUGHT ABT THAT

REGARDLESS , WE ENTER DRIFTING AWAY + EVERYTHING AFTERWARDS ..........  and i leave y’all with that for now ;3c 

(feel free to suggest stuff or ask about things!!! )

Establish how we go from Classic to X

I was gonna make a whole post or series about how I’d reboot Megaman X and honestly, eh. I’d be happy if they just remade Maverick Hunter X and followed through it it. The idea was to reboot X up to X6, telling a cohesive story.

So yeah, I’d rather they just did that. Reboot X, 1 to 6 or even 8, and give us a more cohesive story with a plotted ending. That said, for this X reboot I do think they should establish a flashback or lore point of how we go from Rock to X.

I also realize you can’t really end the Classic series, it sales too well and it’s simple set up lets it go for a long while. So my alternative proposal is to establish this X reboot as a “darker timeline”.

For example, perhaps this X timeline takes place after Megaman 1 (or any number), in an alternative ending. Having failed, Wily goes from petty plots to full on war, it reaches a point several governments unite to take him down.

Maybe this alternative Rock is able to beat Wily but the destruction is so bad that robotic law is rewritten. Maybe Rock is destroyed stopping him. In either case, establish why the classic cast is gone, why Light’s lab would be found by an archaeologist even though it was just a century long time skip, or why Zero was sealed away before he was finished.

Perhaps it’s the Light AI that even tells X all this, after realizing Wily still persists as the Maverick virus. I dunno, food for thought.

Ok last question FOR NOW. Are there cults in megaman??? Religious people against robots?? A reboot of "all dogs go to heven" titled "all robots go to heven"??? Are robots religious?? Lgbt+ robots??? Robot god??

for now?? dont keep me waiting shcjsngndfn uhhh the archie megaman comics had the emerald spears!! they were a bunch of robophobes who believed that robots shouldnt be trusted or something like that (bc they were inhumane??) i dont remember why exactly. other than that there dont seem to be any seemingly religious cults in the series that i know of?? hmm… the closest thing to a robot god that i can think of is the dark elf/mother elf from the megaman zero series, but it was more of a program than a robot. megaman X8 itself had a lot of biblical references tho (primarily with the famous poem Paradise Lost). i may not know who is the robot god but i know for sure robo satan is lumine fhsncnsnfk

That dream I just had the other day

I had this dream where I was watching a Megaman X animated series. The show I was watching in my dream was on Netflix as I was binge watching the series. The series in my dream was called Megaman X Rogen and it was a trip to watch through in my dream. The series stayed to it's sorce material, but it's taking in the whole reboot aesthetics.

What I'm trying to say is it's like Teen Titans Go, only replace the comedy part and replace it with Axl being self aware and often breaks the fourth wall, X and Zero being mildly too close to the point that its starting to look like they're a couple when they're together. Finally, the characters taking a jab on modern society and how they are realistically confused by them. Heck I think I saw a scene where Signus gets in an argument with an Echo rip-off in my dream one time as I believe it was a running gag or something.

Axl became a social media obsessed in one episode that was a running joke that ended with X blasting his phone out of hand out of anger that Axl let the Mavericks kidnap Zero.

The episode following that have the two attempt to rescue Zero, as Axl owes up to his mistake and actually uses social media to track down where the Mavericks are holding Zero. The ending to this is where both X and Zero straight up hug each other in a way that's sincerely cute and romantic.

Then the one episode that I watched in my dreams, ended up being a filler episode where everyone in Maverick Hunters HQ is thinking that X and Zero are a legit couple but doesn't bother asking them if they have feelings for one another. Then for some reason X gets kidnapped by vile and when Zero and Axl go to rescue him, Axl is the only one that ask Zero if he had any romantic feelings for X.

And to be honest, despite that this came out of my dream, the way that Zero and X talked about their friendship/relationship in the show is really subtle. It looked like a realistic relationship growth.

So yeah this is just something that I thought that I would like to share.
