ProtoMan.EXE, known as Blues.EXE (ブルース.ＥＸＥ Burūsu.eguze) in Japan, is fictional character in the MegaMan Battle Network spinoff of the Mega Man series of video games by Capcom, and the MegaMan NT Warrior (Rockman EXE) anime and manga series. In the anime, he is voiced by David Kaye in the dub, and Masaya Matsukaze in the original version of the series.
[edit] History
ProtoMan.EXE is the NetNavi of Eugene Chaud (Chaud Blaze in the English anime, Enzan Ijuuin in the Japanese version). His Navi mark, a circle split with a thunderbolt pattern into two black and white sections, can be seen on ProtoMan's chest and gloves, as well as, in the games but not in the anime, on the back of Chaud's vest. Unlike his robot counterpart Proto Man, he normally uses a sword weapon instead of a buster, although he does carry a shield reminiscent of the original Protoman's, and does have a buster weapon when he is player-controlled in MegaMan Battle Network 5.
In the anime, during Axess, Chaud gains the ability to perform Cross Fusion with ProtoMan. When the two find themselves unable to defeat ShadeMan, Chaud provides his Navi with a Dark Chip. In doing so, he released the dark soul in ProtoMan, which allowed him to escape. ProtoMan would later return as Dark ProtoMan (Dark Blues), a Darkloid completely absorbed by the Dark Aura due to the tampering of LaserMan. As Axess reached its finale, Chaud was able to rescue his friend's spirit, returning him to normal by Cross Fusing with him, confronting him within the confines of his heart.
[edit] Personality
Unlike MegaMan.EXE and his comerades, ProtoMan shows very little emotion, and often follows Chaud's orders without question. He usually acts arrogant and condescending towards MegaMan and Lan, and is somewhat of a loner of the "strong but silent" type. Despite this, Protoman has, on numerous occasions, helped MegaMan out of tight spots and shown compassion. Since he met MegaMan, ProtoMan has often wondered about how an operator should care for his NetNavi, though the two have fought several times with one another in the past. It is possible that through their rivalry, ProtoMan could learn about the values of friendship.
In the anime, ProtoMan starts out much like his game counterpart, quiet and obedient. As the series progresses, he eventually grows out of his former ways, and establishes strong friendships with others. He gains a greater respect for MegaMan and treats him as an equal, while establishing closer ties to his comrades in general, especially Chaud, to whom he owes his life for saving him from the Dark Aura.
[edit] Trivia
- ProtoMan appears as a boss in every MegaMan Battle Network game, with the exception of the Red Sun version of Battle Network 4 and the Team Colonel version of Battle Network 5, though he appears briefly at the end of the Dark Colonel Liberation Mission and assists ToadMan to return Colonel to his former self.
