A brand new chapter of the MegaMan NT Warrior manga has been dropped, with a simultaneous English release! Once again, manga author Ryo Takamisaki returns to pen the chapter.
The story tells 20 years after the original story, with the gang (and Chaud) going to attend their 20-year DenTech Academy class reunion. The chapter also includes Takamisaki’s interpretation of Patch Hikari! The complete English translation can be read here.
Additionally, on the Japanese side; the same story is posted with a note it’ll also be put on the Weekly CoroCoro Comic site, but they have also made available entire volumes of the Battle Story Rockman EXE and Takamisaki’s Rockman EXE manga. The manga are of their most recent “New Edition” (Shinsoban) of the volumes. They can be read here.
Capcom has dropped 2 commercials for the Rockman EXE Advanced Collection. Both are based on the experience of the kids who grew with the series: Manga side and Anime side.
The manga side shows the experience of playing the games alongside reading the manga and the various articles on CoroCoro Comic. The anime side show the experience of playing the games alongside watching the anime and the commercials airing through it. Since many other countries got these media as well, maybe it’s a bit more international than it seems?
To commemorate the release of the Mega Man Battle Network Legacy Collection, Capcom USA has uploaded all episodes of the beloved MegaMan NT Warrior and MegaMan NT Warrior: Axess on YouTube. The MMBLC website has also been updated accordingly with summaries of the 2 anime seasons. The episodes will only be available for a limited time, until September 20, 2023.
The playlist of 1st season of MegaMan NT Warrior (52 episodes) can be found here. The 2nd season, MegaMan NT Warrior: Axess (46 episodes), can be found here.
It’s of note that the 1st episode of Axess is missing its English dub, and instead has its Japanese episode with English subtitles. Included in the upload is Axess episode 30, Spout Soul’s debut episode, which was never aired in the USA.
As build up to the upload, Capcom USA was streaming all episodes of the MegaMan NT Warrior anime on Twitch from March 21st to March 24th in 9 hour long batches.
