What Makes A Reploid?
What makes a reploid? Are X and Zero technically Reploids? Where did Reploids come from, and how are they different from Robot Masters? These are questions often asked in the Mega Man community and the answers can get complex and confusing. So grab some popcorn and buckle in as the topic is tackled!

The basics on The Mother Lode - Mega Man
For me I like to imagine the reason why the rather -ahem- feminine design is because it offers a lot more range in movement and in articulation, the sleek and elegant design helps him pull off way more than his previous design, it makes him more flexible an aerodynamic, plus it just feels like something Zero would want seeing as how he does want to be a master of the arts as a warrior, so yeah there ya go that's my idea... femboy lookin ahh
also is worth mentioning that Megaman 11 stablishes that Light & the Robot University have been researching fully sapient Robots for pretty much the entire duration of the Classic Megaman timeline, so it's probably Openly Available research. AND he built Bass & Trebble specifically to show he can reverse engineer & improve on Megaman's design to the point he can just equip the Rush adapter so, yeah Albert has plenty of resources to independently build Zero & reach a similar conclusion ... as to why he wakes up as a berserk robot, well X4 & X5 do imply Willy implanted an aggression program in Zero that got mixed with Sigma's own code to create the Maverick Virus
Zero is absolutely a Robot Masster/Willy Number, while X is the Light Number. but due to how they use the term in-universe to refer to "highly sapient Robots" then yeah X & zero might be Prototype Reploids, not that most people would be able to tell
I think here it would be better to apply linguistics instead of just etymology Regardless of whatever original meaning the words had, by the the time the series takes place language has morphed and reploid is the standard term for sentient Robots, and probably X and Zero (who operated mostly in this period and are completely integrated into that society) will probably refer to themselves as reploids ninety nine percent of the time, and that onw time they will probably not do so out of need to clarify some obscure technical detail of their designs rather than because they don't identify with the label The word Reploid may have started as a prescriptive term (a strict definition that assigns identity on wheter or not it meets the criteria to the letter, the word defines the thing), but in time it became descriptive (a looser definition based on observations of how things are in real life, identity comes a priori,and the criteria that defines it is the abstraction of its properties and how much they can vary before they fall intro another category , the thing defines the word) If anything it is much more straight forward than the word Maverick, which initially refered to malfunctioning/infected reploids in the early X series, to any reploid criminal by the time the Hunters were a more established force, to some uses as a sign of open rebelión on the late X series, to a political use in the Zero series for those reploids that opposed the Neo Arcadian Regime, to Zero basically declaring Weil a maverick despite being human to basically a generic term for any hostile mechaniloid that roamed outside the cities regardless of level of sentience.
Yeah, pretty cool for a Baddie, plus he kinda looks like Joe Rogan!
I think it's worth mentioning that a MMZ era design for reploids are more human looking, which fits with the series trend/theme of robots and humans becoming more indistinguishable as the timeline progresses. So it's always made sense to me that Zero's new design is meant to be an upgrade in-universe. When I first saw Omega, I did think it would have made more sense for him to look like MMX era Zero, but I figured that the developers probably just didn't want to create a new version of that sprite, so I just sort of pretended that he did have the old design in-universe.
X & Zero being similar isn't necessarily because Wily stole Light's plans for X...or at least spied on them. Both Light & Wily were geniuses in the field of robotics who were once partners so it's no surprise at all that the two of them came to the same conclusion on where the evolution of of robots was headed. Given too that the idea behind each of the two robots was to carry out Light & Wily's will long after the scientists themselves were gone, it makes complete sense that they would be developed to be able to make decisions on their own. The variable weapons systems too are just evolutions of what both Mega Man and Bass were able to do so it's not at all strange that both X & Zero would be able to do the same. I think originally the word "Reploid", as used by Dr. Cain, was meant to mean robots created using X's ability to make their own decisions irrespective of their programing, since this was likely not public...or at least common...knowledge it eventually evolved to be a catch all term for any robot capable of subverting its programming...or in more layman's terms, any robot that can replicate the human ability to make their own decisions. Thus while X & Zero technically are not Reploids in the original sense of the term, so few others would actually be aware of that fact that it's understandable that most would refer to them as such. So under the original definition, no they are not Reploids. Under the current definition though, yes they are.
I love Alia, she´s the cutest but also hot!! she is the X era Roll with a ton of improvements!
What’s the background track in the intro??? Great video!
Found it! It’s return to zero
Although I love the mega Man ZX the original zero will always be the better version if I'm not mistaken wasn't his original body destroyed by sigma and then Dr Cain tried to fix it but he couldn't so he built that copy body for our zero that we know and love. Then at that point that zeroes body was put to rest for what 500 years or something I'd like that because of the virus in his body which would mean Dr well took it and enhanced it and took off all that bulkiness and made it more slim and human-like
You sound like Badger.
My explanation: it was because the gba doesnt have the same pallete or power as much as ps one
Sigma isnt the first reploid. He's the "number one reploid" the best, top of the line, number one
You are correct. He is said to be the best of the best. I did the images there as a nod to the X6 japanese guidebook and Marvel vs. Capcom infinite, where both say he's also the first.
I think that while for simplicity’s sake I’d call them reploids, they technically aren’t. The main reason I say this is because when Weil uses the power of the dark elf combined with Omega to control all reploids in Zero 3, neither Zero, X’s cyber elf, nor any of the X guardians seem to be affected by it
How r u using controllers in this game?
Bluetooth.
Really cool video! Honestly i never really thought about if X and Zero are reploids! it never really occurred to me XD Also this actually the perfect video for me right now! Since there's a certain project im working on and i'm gonna need all the lore and theory crafting i can get! 😉
Nah this is a very simple question answer. Given that the book isn’t canon, neither X or Zero are Reploids, technically speaking. Anyone who thinks they are is a moron. Reploids are replica’s of X’s advanced systems. As you said, X isn’t a replica of himself and Wily may have “permanently borrowed” Light’s work, it’s unlikely he actually ever had access to X’s blueprints directly. It’s also clear that Dr. Light never published his theories or research on what ultimately became X, because no one else was able to replicate (hah) his work in 100~ish years. So Dr. Wily likely only vaguely knew what Dr. Light was working on, but being a genius in his own right was able to find his own solutions, making Zero an original as well as he’s not directly based on X’s systems like the Reploids. So both X and Zero are originals, not Reploids. However, likely for the sake of simplicity _and_ not separating themselves from the rest of the race X birthed, they refer to themselves as Reploids.
I see "Reploids" are Replicate Androids That Replicate the Human Soul and the Human Condition And The Sentience of Humans Reploid is basically a term meaning. Robots with full Human Will, the don't follow the rules of Robotics traditionally. They Replicate Humanity through Self thought and Having Free will. Old Robots don't have Free will. While, Reploids do Both X and Zero have Free Will. Meaning, yes they are definitely "Reploids" based on the original intended Use. While the New Type Reploids based on X are just that. "New type"
Reploid, or Repliroid. "Replica android". First-gen Reploids were created by Dr. Cain, based on Megaman X, as a "best he can do" from what he could figure out from Dr. Light's notes and by poking around X, himself. So, no. X is not a replica of himself, and Zero is not, either. _Copy X,_ however, is.
I think its most correct to say that X and Zero are technically not Reploids - they are both prototype advanced new Robot Masters. However, they are also both technically Reploids because , while the official definition of Reploid is "replica of X" or more specifically "race of robots based on X's design", which automatically precludes X and Zero, this definition is not known to anyone but Dr. Cain and the general public would have a different definition that IS inclusive of both X and Zero. X's origins are known only to Dr. Cain and Zero's origins are unknown to all but a deceased Dr. Wily (and maybe somehow eventually Sigma) and I can say this with confidence because X would be a celebrity and basically treated as the father of the Reploid race instead of just being "another reploid and a rookie hunter at that" as he is in X1. I think you could say Zero does become a Reploid in all senses when he is no longer in his original body. So in short, no they are not "replicas based on X" but yes as a social category.
I usually consider X the Original Reploid and all the others came from him... like God and humans... its funny that the Reploids try to kill him without knowing He's the main reason they exists... and specially Sigma... who is the only one who knows that... BTW... if Sigma is the 1st reploid... why they call him like that? why not ALPHA? or maybe he' isnt the 1st one but he's the only 1st who really work and the other were failures? Zero... well... He's the final robot master... but... who was first? Zero o X? who copied the idea? that's a really good question!
Dr. Cain seems to be the one who coined "Reploid" as a term in the first place and he seemed to actively exclude X (and presumably by proxy, Zero) as a Reploid. So, personally I don't count X and Zero as Reploids. But for ease of conversation, grouping them in with Reploids is perfectly fine.
and you? are you a reploid or a carbon?
While I have heard about the Zero games and GREW UP on mega man/mega man x I could never get into Zero - I just hated the design of what they did to my boy even if "lore wise" he didn't change that is like saying my father went from wearing cargo pants and overalls to a worker then one day he is in make up and a wig with a dress saying "lore wise: he didn't change he always looked like that!" people can love these games and they do praise it all they went but this redesign from the mind whom ever crapped it out was a Disrespect to Zero and Zero fans across the board he looked like a thin, weak boy who wasn't sure if he wanted he wanted to be in life. I would have given this game a BILLION more respect points if, like capcom USE TO DO included the orginal zero skin as a 100% S rank bonus or something for a new game+, I remember when games use to be fun and include wonky fun skins or models or people you can play as - Here's looking at you Tofu (from RE2)
And the command mission X change too so is just armor
If you want an in game explanation from the X series to the Z many years happens so they could advance in technology zero could like to change his body and that lead to him been clone
X and Zero are adapting robots.
Depends on what you think a 'reploid' is. If it means they're replicated from X: No If it means they replicate human free will: Yes
I think the of android... Hold up, is that fish in a wheelchair?
She gotta platform out if water somehow
Now we just need a video on what classifies a maverick. Because holy shoot that is a can of sardines. What is maverickism?
Only X has the suffering circuit none others all emotion is simulated in other reploids including Zero only X feels the rest of them do not as Cain couldn't replicate the suffering circuit it was beyond him.
The evil X joke was way too good.
No because the Reploids were created after X was discovered and were based on X's technology. Zero was discovered even later than that when Reploid production was already in full swing. The term 'Reploid' means "Replicated Andriod". Replication is in the name. X himself is original, not a replication. Zero is original, not a replication, so no by definition X and Zero are not Reploids. They are highly advanced robots made a whole century before Reploids were even a thing. All this without a 15-minute video. Good-bye.
One answer. Art Direction change. That's literally it. And it's a stupid reason. Not having original X's Zero as Omega in Z3 was a travesty no one should get over. Details matter.
If you want to look at it like evolution, X would be the previous version of a Reploid while Zero would be on a different branch. They were made by creators who shared a lot of design philosophies but gradually got more and more different in style over time. But, part of what made reploids different from robots was that they could think and decide for themselves, which X and Zero both seem to be able to do. It really just depends on who you ask
@diretrip X would not be able to use Zero's buster if Zero was not modeled from X's systems. Wily never showed he was capable of building robots who could think like X can either (all of his robots before Zero and X-Kai have to follow their prvrammed directives).
Sigma wasn’t his (Dr. Cain) first Reploid. Not sure if that’s the implication, but Sigma, was his best and most powerful.
It was the implication, as a nod for imagery to the X6 guidebook and Marvel Vs Capcom Infinite which both state he was the first. That topic can be debated for sure, as the novel has Alpha as the first, and realistically, Sigma likely couldn't be the first with his super advanced build.
I like the vid, but while you sort of got to the proper idea, you went about it the wrong way. X and Zero are Androids, and Android doesn't mean robot, it means Artificial man. A greek concept of mankind being able to supplant the divine by making man in a way that went against/around nature. They were never thought of being made of flesh, but made of another material, so android would, to bring it around, be a replicated man, made in a way that wasn't natural. But what makes them a replica of man is the soul, or if you want another word, the mind. They would have all the things that seperate man from beast, but with a body that wasn't bound by the limits of flesh, as they were artificial. Reploids would be androids created in an "artificial" way, in mass factories and the like, changing it from the base template in varying degrees, that wasn't something you could attribute to evolution. As for what to call them, specifically, while Android is the most proper way to call them, it's like comparing the first creation versus the actual production model. Adam and Eve are called humans, even though, technically, they would simply be the sire and dam of humanity, as they weren't brought about the normal way. So Reploid, while not technically correct, is better for everything that's not the most technical jargon type of conversation. Unfortunately, despite Reploid being a perfect word for what was made from X and later Zero, the word android has been misused so much, it doesn't quite hold the weight it should, so it muddies the water more than a little.
@lanereynolds4567 The official Japanese sources calling X and Zero Reploids are enough for them to be Reploids. Capcom of Japan is who handles the franchise, not Westerners so that means the word is law.
I took that the technology was so advanced after the x series that zero and x was upgraded, which was why they looked so much more human.
I commented on a similar video (maybe it’s this one?) before. But as I said back then: there are no official lore reasons. If ONLY Zero got a redesign would imply there is some strange lore reason, but because everyone got one (except cameos) it’s just an artistic direction change. However you can have any head canon you want. There are good reasons or bad reasons. But again, there is no official reason in universe, nor does it need one.
Not everyone was redesigned. Vile, Colonel, Bit, and Agile all show up in Phoenix Magnion's grab attack, and they are as we've always seen them.
A reploid is considered a robot based off the design of Megaman X, as Dr Cain found X and named the Reploids. This makes X the "original" (not a Reploid), and Zero was a completely different design altogether, is an original as well. Thats always been my understanding of the situation
@michelvanderlinden8363 Zero would not be capable of thinking like man (able to learn and not be bound by programmed directives) if he wasn't copied from X. Same for X being able to use his buster. And the sources like manuals and databooks/art books refer to X and Zero as reploids.
@@galten7361 the manuals directly contradict the games though, I'd take those with a pinch of salt. Remember, the megaman manuals also referred to Dr Light as Dr Wright and Dr Right. Incidentally, if Megaman X is largely based on the Megaman system, it makes sense that Zero is also based off his system, considering both Light and Wily worked on Rock's system before Light gave him his weapons.
@michelvanderlinden8363 You don't get to pick what is or isn't canon. Capcom of Japan does. And they've never excluded the manuals. More importantly, the lore in Japanese sources is the actual lore, not banything by Westerners. Wily never demonstrated he was capable of building an artificial being like X without copying Light. None of his robots had genuine thoughts like X (can learn, can think without obeying programmed directives) while X and X alone is noted as being the robot who's a great leap forward. Not Zero.
@@galten7361 Wily demonstrated he was fully capable of creating a robot similar to Megaman, and he was already working on Zero as seen in the Megaman 2: power fighters game... which was before Light was working on X, although we do know he coined the idea of robot AI in the previous game, but not more than that. Im not sure what you're referring to when you say "I dont get to pick what is or isn't canon". Its pure logic: X is the template that all subsequent reploids are based off, but as the series have shown X is so advanced it would take reploids to take decades, or hundreds of years to even come close to reach his level sentience. Can you honestly say they are the same? That's like saying "a bike is a vehicle, and a car is a vehicle, they are both the same". They are not. X might refer to himself as a "reploid" simply because there is no term for what he is, purely because he's unique in his own right. For that matter, the same applies to Zero. Your last statement is incorrect as well, not to mention you're literally "deciding what is canon" there for yourself.. Wily created Bass, a regular robot who systematically goes against many of his creator's wishes. You can say his programming might be faulty, or maybe his programming was actually more advanced than Megaman''s programming was. We don't really know because Capcom never adressed this. There's also King, who also went against his creator's wishes (to a lesser degree). Light and Wily both worked on Protoman, Roll and Roll (and the first six robot masters but beyond the CD game we dont know much about their intelligence). It stands to say that Light and Wily both are roughly equal in terms of robotics and programming. There is absolutely no reason to assume X is the one true advancement in robotics, and not Zero. finally... the name dude. Reploid. Replicated Android. It's not rocket science to figure out the meaning of the word.
@michelvanderlinden8363 Bass and King being able to think like man is fanon. In canon they are bound by their programming and cannot go beyond it. Bass was built to be Megaman's counter as the strongest robot so he tries to be that. King was built to be a lord among robots so he does that. Neither of them learn to be that way. Neither of them can genuinely think like man. There are no official statements excluding the manuals in JP. You insisted that they don't count. Reploid has been used in both in-game dialogue with characters like Sigma or the X-Hunters and in sources like manuals and art books and dev interviews for X and Zero. This video quotes the X novelization (which was officially published in Japan and written with access to background lore) saying that Reploids really means being able to think like man. As far as Capcom of Japan is concerned X and Zero are Reploids.
Zero strikes me as less a reploid, and more, the final and most advanced robot master. And his behavior when he is activated can be explained from Mega Man 7, where it's implied Wily had a failsafe that would activate his robots if he is not around for a certain period of time. So when Zero is activated into a world where Wily is long dead, he goes nuts because his programming has told him, if Wily is not around, go berserk and cause as much chaos as possible. This would also easily explain the Maverick virus. It's Wily's fail-safe program. Since all of Wily's robots were based on Light's designs (The first 6 robot masters were Light robots, and Dr Wily figured out how to make his own robot masters from repurposing them), and since reploids are based on X, they would be based on Light's designs, so Wily's code would likely run in their systems. And X would be immune because having had his robots stolen and repurposed once before, could have blocks in place to prevent Wily's code from running on X's systems, which could easily fall into the things Cain didn't understand fully, and so it was not implemented correctly in reploids.
I’d love to see your theory on Wily in MegaMan Legends
He sells boats! Though it's just a coincidence that had the name and look.
Mmz fucked everything up.
Do we know the virus that Wily made was intended to attack the Distress Circuit specifically or is it simply encountering hardware and/or software it was not designed for and having no idea how to work with it is causing more and/or different problems than originally intended?
Before I watch this, I wanna say: They've had so many replaced parts, especially Zero, they gotta be reploids 😂
That's a question I think the lore of X to Zero might have already answered. Aside from an art change, the ELF wars devastated the population of both reploids and humans, at that point there eventually was an energy crisis and that probably advanced reploid design to be a bit more efficient. Idk, that's just my take.
You could say X and Zero are the original Androids. Of course, after Reploids became a commonplace. X and Zero consider themselves as Reploids for simplicity.
But is MegaMan X the same as MegaMan?
No
This is the most fanfiction-like character I have heard. Megaman from the future is so lame it doesnt compare to a fanfiction
IMHO, technically, a reploid is an artificial autonomous construction capable of acknowledging, integrating and ultimate utilization of the concept of free will, allegedly, the most human of traits. X is the objective constructive progenitor for the mass propagated "reploid model", while Zero is a near exact competitor of X model, by a competitor brand. However, instead of utilizing the over analytical altruistic rationalism of the "free will model" of X. Which could have ultimately lead to externally predicable and exploitative circumstances ultimately creating the Sigma Virus. Wily instead utilizes a much more simplistic and yet instinctively combative primally self preservational programming when coding the "free will model" into Zero, and ironically making it not only a perfect weapon against X, but it's perfect antithesis to the Sigma Virus as well. X represents the best of human altruism while being manipulable to societal externalities, as Zero represents the best of human instinct, while somehow being socially awkward or distrusting as a consequence. Blank slate bois of relatable perspectives regardless of your preferential Sci Fi automata apocalyptic faction. X0X0
