SoulCleaner is supposed to only take effect when you can't run 100% of the time from an encounter, which is based on your Navi’s base maximum HP, excluding NaviCust Parts and Mod Cards. Due to a programming error, the game will use the remainder of the navi's HP when divided by 256 when comparing against the area's HP requirement for 100% run rate. | |||
This ends up being advantageous to the player as the maximum possible value used in the run rate comparison is 255, which means that the bonus will trigger in areas with an HP threshold greater than 256, which includes all areas except ACDC Area, Oran Area, Main Comps, and some early game small comps. | |||

This page is a list of glitches that appear in Mega Man Battle Network 5.
Major glitches
Liberation Warp
This glitch occurs if MegaMan's maximum HP (including NaviCust and Mod Cards) is a certain amount. If you quit or complete a Liberation Mission, you will be automatically warped depending on the ending HP value in hexadecimal.
- Value 01: 1, 257, 513, 769, 1025, 1281, 1537, 1793, 2049, 2305, 2561, 2817, or 3073
MegaMan will be jacked out, but will not appear next to the PET icon. You will no longer be able to jack in, thus cannot progress more into the game. This is a game-breaking glitch that would require you to start a New Game or load a previous save. - Value 02: 2, 258, 514, 770, 1026, 1282, 1538, 1794, 2050, 2306, 2562, 2818, or 3074
MegaMan will warp to the last exact location the game considered MegaMan jacking out. This includes cutscenes that might take you out of bounds. This does not progress the game as story flags are triggered through a sequenced set of cutscenes. However, some areas can be accessed before the game allows it.
This glitch was officially acknowledged by Capcom, but they incorrectly state both sets of values yield the same result.[1]
In the Wii U Virtual Console rereleases of the game, this glitch was fixed.

Meddy Twin Liberation
Select "No" when Meddy asks if you'd like to activate Twin Liberation. Now, if a team member clears a panel opposite to her like a Twin Liberation would go, the liberation will still be treated as a Twin Liberation.
| Applies to: | |
|---|---|
| Team of Blues Japanese v1.0 | Yes |
| Team ProtoMan North American v1.0 | No |
| Team ProtoMan European v1.0 | No |
| DS Twin Leaders Japanese v1.0 | ? |
| Double Team DS North American v1.0 | No |
| Double Team DS European v1.0 | No |
Double HP Loss
Normally, if you use a DarkChip during battle, or your DarkSoul activates at 0 HP, then you lose 1 HP after the battle. However, in the Japanese GBA version of the game, if you run away from the battle, your HP and karma are deducted twice. This happens because the game accidentally calls the function that applies DarkChip penalties two times: once at the end of the "successfully ran away" message, and once after the screen fades to black. In the English version of the games, this was fixed by removing the function call at the end of the message.
| Applies to: | |
|---|---|
| Team of Blues Japanese v1.0 | Yes |
| Team of Colonel Japanese v1.0 | Yes |
| Team ProtoMan North American v1.0 | No |
| Team Colonel North American v1.0 | ? |

| Team Colonel European v1.0 | ? |
| DS Twin Leaders Japanese v1.0 | ? |
| Double Team DS North American v1.0 | No |
| Double Team DS European v1.0 | ? |
BugStop Mod Cards
If you run a BugStop in the NaviCustomizer, it will also stop bugs caused by Mod Cards, but only the ones that causes battle effects. This will reflect in the Mod Cards ability screen. Disadvantageous effects such as HP reduction will still occur.
Due to this, BugStop was banned in official Japanese tournaments’ Master Class format[2].
| Applies to: | |
|---|---|
| Team of Blues Japanese v1.0 | Yes |
| Team of Colonel Japanese v1.0 | Yes |
| Team ProtoMan North American v1.0 | No |

| Double Team DS North American v1.0 | ? |
| Double Team DS European v1.0 | ? |
AntiRecovery Cut In
If you have an Anti Recovery chip trap active and the opponent attempts a Cut In with a dimming recovery chip (for example, Roll), then you cut in another trap chip; the battle will freeze.
This glitch was somewhat fixed in English versions of BN4 but has somehow returned in Japanese BN5. In English BN5, the Cut In order works as intended.

| Team of Blues Japanese v1.0 | Yes |

Satelity Command Input

Powie AI
In the final version, Powie never jumps more than two times before doing a ground pound. This behavior is carried over from Mega Man Battle Network 2, where it is actually caused by a glitch. However, this game introduces a new AI glitch: it's actually supposed to attack after one jump 20% of the time, but it only does so under extremely rare circumstances.
This glitch is caused by the way the game determines whether Powie should attack after its first jump. The game does this by generating a random number r and using the SDK function for division, which calculates both division and modulo result. However, the game then uses the division result (r / 5) which has 429496729 possible values, instead of the modulo result (r % 5) which has 5 possible values.
| What should be happening: | |
|---|---|
| Jumps | Chance to ground pound |
| 1 | 1/5 (20%) |
| 2 | 1/1 (100%) |
| What is actually happening: | |
| Jumps | Chance to ground pound |
| 1 | 5/2147483648 (~0.00%) |
| 2 | 1/1 (100%) |

Unpredictable SoulCleaner
It's unpredictable whether you will get the SoulClean bonus or not. It still depends on your HP and the area you are in, but it's completely arbitrary. That said, you have a higher chance of getting the boost if you fight viruses in lategame/postgame areas (Nebula Area works best).
SoulCleaner is supposed to only take effect when you can't run 100% of the time from an encounter, which is based on your Navi’s base maximum HP, excluding NaviCust Parts and Mod Cards. Due to a programming error, the game will use the remainder of the navi's HP when divided by 256 when comparing against the area's HP requirement for 100% run rate.
This ends up being advantageous to the player as the maximum possible value used in the run rate comparison is 255, which means that the bonus will trigger in areas with an HP threshold greater than 256, which includes all areas except ACDC Area, Oran Area, Main Comps, and some early game small comps.

| Team of Colonel Japanese v1.0 | ? |
| Team ProtoMan North American v1.0 | ? |
| Team Colonel North American v1.0 | Yes |

Purple Mystery Data out-of-bounds
By picking up the purple mystery data in Oran Area 1 from the south side, it is possible to move out of bounds by walking south after the text finishes. The player can move around freely out-of-bounds; continuously walking in one direction eventually results in the player entering an invisible copy of the map, with no objects.
In the international releases of the game, the purple mystery data was moved slightly so that picking it up from the south side no longer clips you through the wall. In Double Team DS, the purple mystery data is back in its original spot, but using an Unlocker does not change your position like it does in the GBA game, thus also preventing this glitch.
| Applies to: | |
|---|---|
| Team of Blues Japanese v1.0 | Yes |
| Team of Colonel Japanese v1.0 | Yes |
| Team ProtoMan North American v1.0 | No |
| Team Colonel North American v1.0 | No |
| Team ProtoMan European v1.0 | No |
| Team Colonel European v1.0 | No |
| DS Twin Leaders Japanese v1.0 | No |
| Double Team DS North American v1.0 | No |
| Double Team DS European v1.0 | No |
It is also possible to clip out of bounds using the purple mystery data in ACDC Area 2 and End Area 3, but this requires more precise movement after using the Unlocker. These particular PMDs however, are not moved in the international releases.
| Applies to: | |

| Team of Blues Japanese v1.0 | Yes |
| Team of Colonel Japanese v1.0 | Yes |

FactoryComp4 Clip
In the FactoryComp4, right before CosmoMan; if MegaMan is standing right where the gate was and the gate is put back up, he will be pushed past the cutscene marker. MegaMan is able to talk to the CosmoMan NPC, resulting in freezing the game. This is fixed in later versions with more event blocks being implemented.
