i think the first two Trons are also good representations of this type of theme, also Casshern, Astro Boy amongst othet things. All the megaman's have similar and interesting storylines that follow the same themes. I lean towards Final Fantasy a bit...
Its interesting how this seems to be the only song where they sing the narration rather then leave it for the book. I wonder if originally they were going to do it for all the songs but decided against it for whatever reason
spoiler alert: I know that the protomen said that it would end badly for humanity, but i really need an epic battle where megaman wins. i dont want his back to be the last we see of him
Explain to me how a band becoming more recognized is a bad thing? I want Act 3 just as much as the next fan, and gaining more fans usually inspires bands to produce more content.
@@seananderson2195 Oh my god, seriously, it hurts so god damned much. I keep giving up on waiting but the whole point is hope I guess. They had the time and energy to make cover albums, They can't care anymore.
Ive seen people get the wrong idea here, so I just want to point something out: Protoman does not actually die here, Wily does not rebuild him. When you listen to the lyrics carefully and combine it with the rest of the opera, you can see what actually happened here. "The crowd had gathered there to watch him fall to watch their hopes destroyed" Its important to remember that Protoman is not their hope, their hope is that some superman will come along and save them all without them having to do anything, and Protoman just happens to be a candidate for that role at this moment. They came and saw that one man cant save them alone, and also to witness Protoman "fall" both in battle and morally. "They watched them beat him" Self explanatory, he does get beaten in more ways than one. "They watched them break him" This isnt literal. They didnt just break his body, they broke his spirit. They showed him that the people he was trying to save would not do anything to save him, even if their sacrifice would turn the tide of battle. This is when Protoman loses his faith, when he "dies" and Breakman is born. "They watched his last defense deployed" Interesting line isnt it? What could Protomans last defense be? Its surrendering. He surrenders to Wily and vows to serve him, because he no longer even wants to help these people who wont help even themselves. The crowd then chants "We are the dead", though note that it specifically says not a man among them would allow his voice to be heard and that these words come from their collective fear. This chant is also heard a second time in the opera, at the end when Megaman also loses faith. It is the robots hearing them failing to do anything for themselves and "hearing" them proclaiming themselves the dead, unable to do anything for themselves and not truly living, just existing until they stop existing. This is why Megaman cannot both save the people and avenge Protomans death. The Robot Masters never killed Protoman, it was the people who "killed" Protoman.
I never cared about justice, and I don't recall ever calling myself a hero. I have always only fought for the people I believe in. I won't hesitate... If an enemy appears in front of me, I will destroy it! Zero
@ArbingerofDeath I was JUST thinking that! Capcom could work with them and inlude remixes of classic songs too! And maybe even some Megas songs! That would be awesome!
This playlist is like a cycle of abuse. You listen to Hope Rides Alone first, and then you just have to listen to all of Act I. But since Act II comes right after, by the end, you're so pumped up that you have to listen to Hope Rides Alone again! _It never ends_
As a victim of abuse I disagree, cuz this is good for the soul. Abuse tarnished me dude (gender neutral) I had to grow from that man. Songs like this were fertilizer
Because any time anyone comes to this page they'll see "As seen on Reddit." The Protomen have been popular on /v/ since... God, I don't even remember at this point. YEARS.
I found these guys on a blog in 2005 or so, I think they had just released this record and it was only available by mail order. Good to see they came out with a sequel!
I don't really get why that's a bad thing. Is he angry so many people will hear their music now? I know Reddit's annoying but it's awesome that they made the front page once.
@Zarcius17 I'd much rather find somewhere I can buy the CD. They should have the lyrics on the pamphlet that comes with it, like most other CD's, shouldn't they?
@RedTriangle53 - How do you explain the X series? Or the Zero series? Or the ZX series for that matter? Real humans in the ZX series doesn't exist anymore.
fine... you guys win lol... just came here to say that and i dont even know what this video is about.... and btw i just deleted that comment i technically did not make :3
I always picture this half of the story starting off years after Dr. Light escapes from Dr. Wily after Act II, starting with 'intermission' being played by a band in some sort of a night-club and evolving into this, as an elaborate depiction of events.
@Fluid4 Actually, to me it kinda sounds like, "his last defense defied." It's kinda hard to tell since he sorta whispers that line. Does the lyric-sheet come with the CD? Where can I buy it outright?
U are wrong, if some1 mixes such songs like protomen's it cant be wrong for band or spirit of their art. Cuz i cant imagine any else consequences than positive for minds of recievers. I honestly would love to hear dubstep remixes!
![[HD] The Protomen - The Sons Of Fate](http://i.ytimg.com/vi/VJvq7z39YEw/mqdefault.jpg)
The Protomen are amazing, I mean can you hear that voice? That voice is truly Rock, Man.
O I C WUT U DID THAR
Through the glass 20 stories high

I've found a new band I enjoy today.
Chilling
How have I just heard about this band?
NA NA NA NA NA NA NA NA
NA NA NA NA NA NA NA NA
NA NA NA NA NA NA NA NA
NA NA NA NA NA NA NA NA NA
If the sun should never show its face again, there will be light, as well.
Its been over 13 years.... and part 3 is still not here
@Zeithri play megaman x and watch the opening
To clear up the confusion, it is indeed "deployed". That is all.
Who said anything about 4Chan? Reddit is just shit, plain and simple.
You don't need to be a 4Chan user to hate Reddit.
you okay?
You are a bad person.
You should feel bad.
Its interesting how this seems to be the only song where they sing the narration rather then leave it for the book. I wonder if originally they were going to do it for all the songs but decided against it for whatever reason

7 years later and we're still waiting.
@@rockosmodernstrife8708 Hell I was just introduced to this group...I couldn't imagine what pain original fans must feel
People get anxious if they blow up real big, maybe the group thinks they can't own up to there next album
Because “muh secret club”

The fact Capcom hasn’t had these guys make a movie or game is insane
That's because writing music and software development are two totally separate skillsets.

If this is what abuse feels like, sign me up
They do it because they love you
I thought I was the only one
As a victim of abuse I disagree, cuz this is good for the soul.
Abuse tarnished me dude (gender neutral)
I had to grow from that man.
Songs like this were fertilizer
>as seen on: reddit
OH COME THE FUCK ON
@Dojack
Seeing Panther sing live gives me the biggest chills up my spine. He's almost snarling at some points. it. is. the best.
im not THAT into megaman, but these guys ROCK!
READY
WILLING
GABLE
Because any time anyone comes to this page they'll see "As seen on Reddit."
The Protomen have been popular on /v/ since... God, I don't even remember at this point. YEARS.
They’ve been popular since 200X.
So glad I discovered this band when the will of one came on my Spotify playlist
Helped me to cope while I was suicidal. Some nights I'd just lie in my bed with my heaphones on and I'd just keep listening
I'm glad you were able to cope, man. I hope you're still doing just as good 6 years later.
Hope you’re still listening. Been in the same boat, multiple times. If you. If anyone reads this. Keep going to tomorrow
I love the sound of the vinyl!!!
Great music!
That was really amazing.
I found these guys on a blog in 2005 or so, I think they had just released this record and it was only available by mail order. Good to see they came out with a sequel!
@RedTriangle53 - Well it ended badly for humanity in the original series as well.
@vera881 Glad I'm not the only one who was reminded of 2112.. That's what inititally drew me to this band.
Wait, is this just Megaman? Light creates a robot to kill all of Wily's robots?
Protoman. He dies.
@@spacebearcadet746 Yeah, I got that now. Thanks for trying to inform me though!
FUCK YEAH GRIMDARK MEGAMAN ROCK OPERA SHIT
just saw them live nyc!!
I can't believe the first comment is 9 years old
What I want to know is why of all sites fucking Reddit is the only one UA-cam picks up
I don't really get why that's a bad thing. Is he angry so many people will hear their music now? I know Reddit's annoying but it's awesome that they made the front page once.
The sounds they used were just so amazing.
Because no one like Reddit
holy fuck this is epic
@Zarcius17
I'd much rather find somewhere I can buy the CD. They should have the lyrics on the pamphlet that comes with it, like most other CD's, shouldn't they?
Saw these guys Halloween 2007, AWESOME show, and great albums!
FUCKING COOL
Hope rides alone. It's like this was written especially for me.
Feels bad
@vera881
Fuck yes. You are the most awesome person ever.
Thumbs up if you think they should turn the Protomen's interpretation of the mega-man story into an incredible mega-man RPG!
Your hearts burn brightly. I can't help but be inspired when I hear this album.
@killerkirbydude fuckin awesome ideas GUITAR HERO MEGA!!!!!!!!
He means he hates Reddit.
Third person prospective.
What do you mean?
Agreed. And on that note, their music saved my life.
Holy crap, this is amazing!
@anamusingusername
Not really, it exists as long as mankind ^^.
I think protoman failed cuz he fought all the robot masters at the same time
@bioforce5 Yes.
@RedTriangle53 - How do you explain the X series? Or the Zero series? Or the ZX series for that matter? Real humans in the ZX series doesn't exist anymore.
@Zarcius17 You are correct.
@Marshyme13
Thumps up
I wanna know what this is from bc i can tell it's like something from a story or movie, and it's so good-
it basically a edgy megaman fanfiction
Woah, you just got pooped on!
fine... you guys win lol...
just came here to say that and i dont even know what this video is about....
and btw i just deleted that comment i technically did not make :3

i knew this band because A night of queen,and i love them.... get ready mediafire ;)
@nitemaricv2
If you're talking about the Left 4 Dead franchise, and I'm pretty sure you are, then you've lost your joke-making priviledges.
U are wrong, if some1 mixes such songs like protomen's it cant be wrong for band or spirit of their art. Cuz i cant imagine any else consequences than positive for minds of recievers. I honestly would love to hear dubstep remixes!
Amusement and wasted time? Welcome to the youtube comment section ;)
Is this fuckin mega man I'm so confused?
A different take. More dystopian.
@Fluid4
Besides, if you listen to the whole album, (SPOILER ALERT) he didn't actually die. Dr. Wily rebuilt him, so he began working for Wily.
@fathernicolow BURNING SOUL
So, some site links this video and suddenly it's the end of the world?
No, I think child would be the better word to describe you.
@Tradanbattlan
And let's give you one for overkill use of Caps Lock and the one for ther most broken English ever.
@Tradanbattlan
Not to everyone, as some still find it funny. First time ever I post such a thing though.
Eddie Lebraun should have based his fan film off of this. Maybe then it wouldn't have been a pile of shit. :3
@Xethcher
Yep, but then they'd need to make Mega Man peripherals- a Proto Man guitar, a Mega Man drumset, a Bass... bass... XD
@masterofalltacos It's bitter in it's end...but fiery in the bellies of men inspired by it's words...
@masterofalltacos It'd be even worse if you read the Dr. Light is evil paragraph
@Fluid4 Nope. The lyrics actually say "They watched his last defense destroyed"
@masterofalltacos lol so true, but it's empowering as well. Such an oxymoronic album.
@FluffyBunniesOnFire
You'll learn them by heart eventually.
We all have.
Justin Bieber made two clone accounts and disliked the song.
@TheUndergroundHQ Old joke is old. Game Over. Thanks for playing.
@GunsNRoses1337 MEGA BLASTER BROFIST :-P
2:25 the audio drops out
You're not hipster for hating reddit.
You're one of us. Those who despise the unoriginal.
@Zeithri Megaman defeats 8 evil robots and restores peace
4 people are The Dead.
Anyone else here because of Michael Leroi?...
Batman batman batman.
I can’t wait for act 1 and act 2 to become a musical
the shit 6 years ago is a good popcorn watch
Couse it would still be Protomen
are they gonna make a third album?
Makes no sense, but OK.
We are the dead...
