I was to say the same thing :) BTW Rockman is haverly inspired from Astro boy ,actually the game has to be an Astro boy for the Famicom, but Capcom did not get the license, but year later konami published Astroboy Famicom title "Mighty Atom" in 1988 :)

If you think about it though Wily wants recognition. He hates that he was spurned by the world so it makes sense to me. I mean how can you conquer the world anonymously? 🤣 thanks for coming by as always 💣
I love this version of mega man. it’s style is just like Osamu Tezuka’s style and I love his style I even tried to do it my self but I’ll get better at it someday
The artist did study under Tezuka so it could be a subtle tribute. However Furue books by the same artist look more like the Japanese Box art. Thanks for watching 🔥
Haha yea I know! And the ending conversation with MegaMan and Wily was translated exactly. I first read it and said I can’t believe MegaMan is this gullible!!!! Doesn’t he know!!!!! Honestly in my first read I thought Wily would escape or MegaMan would have to leave him to save his own life or something. Oh well he’s right as he will see what Wily invents in the future soon enough! Thanks for watching on day one!
@@GTV-Japan To be fair, this feels like it came out around the time of Rockman 1, and that game certainly doesn't feel like it would get a sequel at the time... Then, Capcom rolls the dice and green lights Rockman 2: The Mystery of Dr. Wily, which becomes an international mega-hit and paves the way for countless sequels and spin-offs! Capcom always gets it right in the sequel. See also another game that came out in 1987 that really shouldn't have gotten a sequel: Street Fighter!!
@@GTV-Japan I guess it was Mega Man 1 that wasn't popular... I think I rented it before 2 and thought it was too hard, but then rented 2 and couldn't put it down! I actually never really dug into 1 until the Anniversary Collection on the PS2!
I remember buying this manga at some point! Those were the days haha. I was never able to read it because it was all in Japanese. So I'm glad I found this reading. You've made this Mega Man fanboy very happy.
It's amazing how much consistency across the board when it comes to Mega Man lore. Be it this manga, the Archie comics adaption, and even the American cartoon series, they keep the same bullet points of the character origins. Unlike the two certain other video game franchises that have backstories that are completely different in the West and Japan.
Yea I loved that detail. Honestly I wish there was more or rock and roll at home before he upgraded in the book. Nd I wish I had a better scan but hey what ya gonna do? What are the 2 games that are different? Thanks for watching 🔥
Mario and Sonic. Mario's Western origin has been consistently that he was a Plumber from New York who somehow found the Mushroom Kingdom via some warp pipe, but the Japanese origin seems to have been retconned to Yoshi's Island's story. Like they've been born in the Mushroom kingdom, and that Mario and Luigi are the same age. Sonic is all over the map. I remember a promotional comic advertisement that had some weird backstory about him being a regular hedgehog that a not yet evil Dr. Robotnik experimented on. I found a comic dub video if you're curious. ua-cam.com/video/qKqRIkREoIs/v-deo.html And that origin was never brought up again.
Mega Man is the most consistent video game franchise ever made. It's both its greatest strength, but also its greatest weakness. Sonic is too inconsistent, Megaman is too consistent. Taking no risks with a franchise (Mega Man) can hurt it just as much as taking too many risks (Sonic).
I really enjoyed this! very well done! my 1st memory of playing Mega man was with the original on the NES. I remember being disappointed that you could only shoot in 1 direction LOL. It wasent the run and gun shooter i thought it was gonna be- but truly unique in its own way and has been a great franchise.... I lOVE the way you set up the commercial break towards the end. I can appreciate the work that went into this video.
Thanks Joe! Part of the design of the game comes from the technical constraints of the Nes and MegaMan actually being two sprites but also the designer wanted to slow the pace down on purpose. Thanks for watching and I’ll see ya next time!
I’ve been waiting for this for a year and it turned out great! I have the actual manga book of this, but it would taken way too long to translate all the dialogue myself, so this really helps!
Once again top notch video and thank you very much for sharing it! Also just like the other videos, my god that music. I need to go play some Mega Man real fast.
Thanks! MM1 music is a little sparse but they come from the psp remake and complete works. Which sadly only had 4 stage tracks redone. But elec man was one of them so that’s a W! Thanks for watching on day one!
20:02 in one of the later levels Wily is shown to have a stockpile of replica Gutsmen perhaps these are also replicas of the real Elec and CutMan (well atleast in the games lore)
Aww! I like this ending better! Instead of Rock having to chase Wily 10+ more times, he actually turns over a new leaf and stops being evil (presumably)
This artist actually made books for games all the way up to MegaMan 8! And once a year at the end of November I will make one for each game for 8 years
Yeah! And I have all of them at least I think do. So I am going to set it up as an annual thing. I have other things to come first but probably around November 15 I’ll start writing it
What an awesome video on awesome franchise! Thank you my friend on yet another, premium video. Enjoyed this with Thanksgiving leftovers. Happy Thanksgiving my friend! Salud! 🍻👍
There were 8 books and later ones had multiple parts I’ll cover all of them eventually and the x series for a few. If you like Thai style video check out my channel page and see the Zelda/link 4 parter I did this year. Thanks for watching 💣
18:14 he's been hating this guy for the past 30 years all for that one incident in college he needs to move on instead spending his life (and possibly after life too) fixated on this one guy
Excellent presentation as always! This manga was surprisingly accurate to the games, even the little details like the 4 blocks on the underwater boss. Tha k you for sharing this! Also, is there a reason Ice Man's weapon is called the Ice Crusher instead of the Ice Slasher?
Thanks ColeFam! Yes in the Japanese text it’s called ice crusher. I don’t know why it’s changed in English. I decided to kero English names for the main characters and leave everything else as t was in JP. The book came out in 1992 so they had the game to go by easily. And many of these mangas are part game guide so it makes sense to put that in. Thanks for watching and don’t forget to check the pinned comment for a download of the book! ✂️
@@GTV-Japan Thank you again for making this series. It's nice to see all these things I've never heard of and that are just plain interesting. I never would have known about this, the Zelda manga, Hogan, Mario Land, or any of that stuff without this series.
veni cool :) thanks for shearing :)! Only one thing is that the magnet beam is from Elecman's stage and in fire man stage is no need to use it at all, but in Ice man's one defensively . I just love Rockman 1 ! I still play it time to time and never get bored :)
Yea that’s a weird mistake. I wonder how that got through. Thanks for watching my friend! Ok and I mention Bulgaria in my Segata Sanshiro video just for you. Did you see that! 💣
antzpantz this manga was drawn by Shigeto Ikehara, one of Osamu Tezuka’s pupils, which explains the similar art style. With his later Megaman manga, Mr. Ikehara’s style would become closer to the official character designs of the games.
Hmmmm would hitting the yellow devil with the fire storm first then quickly changing weapons to the elect beam actually work? (Asking because I’m still stuck on the yellow devil on the legacy collection and I get hit by a couple blobs that takes a hell of a lot of damage)
@@GTV-Japan Well not literally zero, just running out of power soon. In any case, there's also the interesting part that Mega Man points out Fire Man's Firestorm requires time to charge up before firing, allowing him to time the dodge, kinda like how it is in the game.
Ah yes I may have glossed over it. I remember taking a few days forced break against my will on writing and it stopped at fireman, so must have missed that. Thanks for letting me know
This came out in 1992! I don’t know why they waited so long. As far as I know the only reissue was in 1988. The books eventually caught up and followed the gameboy lineage and plots a little bit in later books. Megaman 2 is literally called Dr. Wilys Revenge!
4:20,DO THE DISCO!! 5:11,this is interesting considering the games didn't acknowledge this (Japan only) till Megaman 11 made it canon in Japan. ua-cam.com/video/VMbBkI1NokE/v-deo.html Guess all things lead to the same route. 16:23,ua-cam.com/video/-aFZCn5HL7E/v-deo.html 25:29,this explains the ending to Megaman 2 better tbh despite it being Megaman 1.
Great vídeo, interesting, remember the time i bought the first Game of megaman it's in 1999, at mercadito, flea market, for 50 pesos, five dollars. Saludos camarada.
They should have put Time Man and Oil Man in the 1st Adventure of MegaMan for NES and they should have put them in the manga version of that adventure, seen in this video. Same with the comic book of it. Do you agree?
I like how you're using the game music as you narrate the entire story to capture a good feel. Instead of visualizing the gameplay but through sheer narration, it becomes more filling towards a story-based plot. Do you think the end of this manga kind of preludes to the conclusion of not just one but rockman 2 because he leaves his helmet on the grass?
Well, that giant boss in Mega Man 2 that looks like Guts Man actually is Guts Man. Wily upgraded him to the Guts Dozer!! Also, in Mega Man 7, you can see several of the Robot Masters in the Robot Museum Stage. And if you're lucky enough to play the Saturn version of Mega Man 8, you fight Cut Man and Wood Man again!
If ANYONE has see the first episode of Astro Boy and the house Tenma lived in, the ending page building Rock runs toward looks exaclty like that home in the 60 Astro Boy cartoon! Reference and Inspiration 101!
My parents bought me and my sister Mega Man 2 when it came out. Seems like that was the game that pushed it into the main stream.. classic title screen etc. I remember buying Mega Man X for the snes in the K-mart bargain bin along with Flashback and Zombies Ate My Neighbours for snes in 1996... classic... Mega Man X2 was great too.. aside from that, I never got into any of the other games. I have the Mega Man game on the PS2, X7? It's complete trash!!!
Breaking news!!! X7 sucks!!!! Hey I’m glad ya came by. I can’t believe x1 was in a bargain bin. That was an awesome one! It seems like very few had MegaMan 1 but I looked it up and it Sold 1.2 million copies! Of course 2 is the best! Thanks for watching on day 1 brother 🌮
your manga eps have become my favorites -- they make excellent bedtime fodder... also, were they named bass and treble or was that something else...? edit: ayy that's me @ 22:30 ^ _^

@@GTV-Japan This is the one I'm talking about. It's in English I'd just like to hear you read it like you did this one because I enjoyed it so much haha. zelda.fandom.com/wiki/The_Legend_of_Zelda:_Ocarina_of_Time_(manga)
Agreed. Why waste money on that when there’s tons or at east collections of the same thing for free or cheap? The all digital life is the best! So much free space in the house. And free games too!
@@GTV-Japan Well I like collecting retro game libraries so that was one I had to get. I have as you say however come up against some roadblocks due to pricing so will need to figure a way around that when the time comes.
@@GTV-Japan That kind of stuff bothers me, Dragon Ball does that a lot. Everyone shifts muscle mass between sagas, and not just for certain forms or anything. Height too, even hair color (it bothers me way too much that Trunks has different hair color in Dragon Ball Super, and oddly, it's even different between his kid and adult form).
I always wondered why iceman’s stage has frozen palm trees in the background. Thankfully this answered my question, I never would’ve guessed it was supposed to be a tropical island that was frozen over by Iceman’s freeze rays.......
Well I think the game design came first but it would make sense to freeze over a hot area. The us manual will give no help. Thanks for watching
@@GTV-Japan Ik they aren't the same cannon but I believe in some man media said he finished his arctic Expedition and went to work in a cold storage warehouse

well the manga came out way later after the game was released so it was no surprise at that point

Thanks. The artist studied under Tezuka actually. In future books he looks more like capcom intended but sometimes he slips back to this style.
The Manga Design of Megaman/Rockman reminds me of something off of a Manga by Osamu Tezuka

Ikehara was apparently trained under Tezuka, iirc

"Binge Watch #1 2020!" 🎮🎸📺
Was this Manga Book released around the time of the Reprint of the First Mega Man/Rockman Game for Famicom ????
This came out in 1992! I don’t know why they waited so long. As far as I know the only reissue was in 1988. The books eventually caught up and followed the gameboy lineage and plots a little bit in later books. Megaman 2 is literally called Dr. Wilys Revenge!
I love how violent the robot masters' deaths are.
It’s ok. They are robots. They were never alive.
@@GTV-Japan One question, where did you get the manga images from?
I want to read the manga
@ROBERT-0964 from a scan of the book!
@@GTV-Japan ok
The music in the beginning sounds familiar 🤔
Rockman complete works
@@GTV-Japan to me, it sounds like something I heard on Sonic Mega Collection, or Gems collection
@F1ghtGam3r it’s the remake MM1 credits
4:20,DO THE DISCO!!
5:11,this is interesting considering the games didn't acknowledge this (Japan only) till Megaman 11 made it canon in Japan. ua-cam.com/video/VMbBkI1NokE/v-deo.html
Guess all things lead to the same route.
16:23,ua-cam.com/video/-aFZCn5HL7E/v-deo.html
25:29,this explains the ending to Megaman 2 better tbh despite it being Megaman 1.
He tells wily he Hope's the next time they meet they can be friends and sees no evil.....33 years later I have some news for you Rockman
Ya I know. How funny. Well it sets up the next game very easily. But that is exactly what he says in the book!! Thanks for watching 🧱
Great vídeo, interesting, remember the time i bought the first Game of megaman it's in 1999, at mercadito, flea market, for 50 pesos, five dollars. Saludos camarada.
Hey all right! Good deal! The original cart is about 90$ usd right now! Too much I say. Good thing they re release everything
22:27 Is that THE Scott the Woz?
I guess that would depend on what the definition of THE is !
Ice Man’s weapon is the Ice Slasher, not the Ice Crusher.
This is Mega Rad.. yeah I went there.
Bring me back something nice!
@@GTV-Japan I'll bring you back Captain N's gamepad belt. Lol
You must do Mega Man 2!
Coming November 202X!!
They should have put Time Man and Oil Man in the 1st Adventure of MegaMan for NES and they should have put them in the manga version of that adventure, seen in this video. Same with the comic book of it. Do you agree?
I don’t know. Those weren’t thought up until years later
@@GTV-Japan, I wish it DID happen…
That would be nice!
1:00 that frown tho ":("
Uh. Sorry? Thanks for watching!!
@@GTV-Japan no I was talking about the frown on Iceman's face.
@@mariobest93 he always frowny
I like how you're using the game music as you narrate the entire story to capture a good feel.
Instead of visualizing the gameplay but through sheer narration, it becomes more filling towards a story-based plot.
Do you think the end of this manga kind of preludes to the conclusion of not just one but rockman 2 because he leaves his helmet on the grass?
Yeah I think so but these books were made in the 90s so the artist had a lot to go by
I could imagine when you take into account the immense popularity he had@@GTV-Japan
What happened after this? Were the robots rebuilt? Are they dead?
It will all be revealed in Dr. Wily’s Revenge!
Well, that giant boss in Mega Man 2 that looks like Guts Man actually is Guts Man. Wily upgraded him to the Guts Dozer!!
Also, in Mega Man 7, you can see several of the Robot Masters in the Robot Museum Stage. And if you're lucky enough to play the Saturn version of Mega Man 8, you fight Cut Man and Wood Man again!
Yea I love the woodman theme on that game
If ANYONE has see the first episode of Astro Boy and the house Tenma lived in, the ending page building Rock runs toward looks exaclty like that home in the 60 Astro Boy cartoon!
Reference and Inspiration 101!
I'll look that up!
@@GTV-Japan is there any chance that anyone from Astro boy media has ever done this manga
@sirubisan698 the author was an apprentice to the creator of Astro Boy. I don’t know if he worked on Astro Boy directly.
@@GTV-Japan neat
0:29 I'm starting to think the name light came from the English localization
It’s hard to say. I’m sure the answer is out there but there are many who want to say light but end up spelling right anyway
May you please do a retrospective of rayforce, raystorm and raycrises?
As I move into later 90s stuff as you can see it’s moving that way, I will consider it for the future. Thank you.
@@GTV-Japan ur welcome
My parents bought me and my sister Mega Man 2 when it came out. Seems like that was the game that pushed it into the main stream.. classic title screen etc. I remember buying Mega Man X for the snes in the K-mart bargain bin along with Flashback and Zombies Ate My Neighbours for snes in 1996... classic... Mega Man X2 was great too.. aside from that, I never got into any of the other games. I have the Mega Man game on the PS2, X7? It's complete trash!!!
Breaking news!!! X7 sucks!!!! Hey I’m glad ya came by. I can’t believe x1 was in a bargain bin. That was an awesome one! It seems like very few had MegaMan 1 but I looked it up and it
Sold 1.2 million copies! Of course 2 is the best! Thanks for watching on day 1 brother 🌮
Oh and check my pinned comment for a scan of the book if you want
your manga eps have become my favorites -- they make excellent bedtime fodder...
also, were they named bass and treble or was that something else...?
edit: ayy that's me @ 22:30 ^ _^
Bass and treble are robots that come later. Thanks for watching and leave that play all run through the night 🌙
@@GTV-Japan always do, your vids are my favorite now = D
A winner is me!
Where did you get that manga? I can't find it online. Could you please tell me where can I find it?
I thought I included a link to a download with the video! I have went back and added it, so it should work now. Sorry! and enjoy!
@@GTV-Japan thank you
You probably might do mega man x series after the classic mega man manga series
I do plan that but not after. It will be concurrent. Eventually
コロコロはロックマンとガンダム
そうだな
Such a great episode! Great work man. I hope you eventually get to the Ocarina of Time Manga because I love these videos you do.
Hmm well sorry but honestly I have no plans for that book. Can you show it to me? If it’s never been released in English or fan translated then I’ll consider it. Thanks for watching
@@GTV-Japan
This is the one I'm talking about. It's in English I'd just like to hear you read it like you did this one because I enjoyed it so much haha. zelda.fandom.com/wiki/The_Legend_of_Zelda:_Ocarina_of_Time_(manga)
PS Scott Wozniak made 4th place for top commenter?! I watch his channel all the time!!!
I think he means me.
Yes! Of course it’s you Scott!! And it was a hard fought battle! I had a record amount of comments last time
It's ice slasher not ice crusher
Oh. Ok.
Megaman if it was made and drawn by the creator of Astro Boy.
This artist honestly and legitimately apprenticed until the creator of Astro Boy!
@@GTV-Japan How neat!
Spending all my junior school allowance for this hahahha
Money well spent!
@@GTV-Japan Great Naration!! keep it up
Thanks! This year I’ll be making part 4!
@@GTV-Japan there’s part 4???
They go all the way up to Megaman 8
Ice man didn't get a 2nd chance
It’s ironic that Megaman was based on Astro Boy
Very! This artist studied under the creator of Astro boy too
I own the PAL version of that game. Pretty expensive and not getting much cheaper.
Agreed. Why waste money on that when there’s tons or at east collections of the same thing for free or cheap? The all digital life is the best! So much free space in the house. And free games too!
@@GTV-Japan Well I like collecting retro game libraries so that was one I had to get. I have as you say however come up against some roadblocks due to pricing so will need to figure a way around that when the time comes.
There is no way. The value is fixed and incorrect
@@GTV-Japan Yeah so I may need to go for repros... 🤔🤔
No no! Just Roms are fine
they nailed all the robots but rock and roll look terible
The design changes in future volumes to look more “real”
Cute ending.
Too bad 10 other games have to come into a manga adaptation to show that the scientist has not changed his ways
The folly of man.
@@GTV-Japan you sound like you read scripture knowing about the fall of man
@sirubisan698 I do read a lot
@@GTV-Japan I see. "Omoshiroi."
5:17 doktor angy
Light programming robots
I love how Megaman is basically an unnoficial Astro Boy videogame.
Omega Factor on the GBA is great tho
There was an Astro boy game made in 1988 though! It wasn’t so great. Thanks for watching 🧊
Not really a fan of the art style, it's too much like Astro Boy for my liking. The original design for Mega Man was rather similar though.
This artist apprenticed under the artist for Astro boy so that’s why. However some later volumes have mega man liking more like he usually does
@@GTV-Japan Oh, very interesting trivia. I like that.
However it creates weird continuity because he goes from eyelashes to none then back without explaining why
@@GTV-Japan That kind of stuff bothers me, Dragon Ball does that a lot. Everyone shifts muscle mass between sagas, and not just for certain forms or anything. Height too, even hair color (it bothers me way too much that Trunks has different hair color in Dragon Ball Super, and oddly, it's even different between his kid and adult form).
Yeah that’s weird. That’s the way it is though
