#netzan

So, I've returned to Rockman.EXE hell after a while because I was feeling nostalgic and I end up watching a Blue Moon playthrough because I was curious about the Blues scenario (I haven't played any of the Battle Network 4 games) and OMG, the NetZan fuel! I realize that Blue Moon/Red Sun games tend to be hated and I understand why, but the Blues scenario really shows how Netto and Enzan's relationship has progressed from the earlier games!

To briefly summarize Blues' scenario, you have to help Enzan get Blues back after he gets infected with a Darkchip. After navigating the Undernet and finally reaching Blues, Enzan states that he wants to be the one to liberate Blues by operating Rockman. And Netto lets him. And hands him Rock's PET to do so!

Sorry, but this kinda blew my mind when I first saw it. Netto might be a social butterfly who gets along with almost everyone, but letting someone else operate Rockman? He even mentions that he usually hates someone else operating him, but Enzan's an exception!

Then Netto finishes off by saying that if the roles were reversed, he'd do the same...which brings the following game in mind, where after Rockman gets abducted, the respective leader of the games will loan you their Navi to use until you get Rockman back. In Team Blues' case, that means taking control of Blues for a while. I lowkey wonder if for Enzan, his Blue Moon scenario is another factor into his decision to lend Blues to Netto.

For many in this series, letting someone else operate your Navi is probably considered a huge sign of trust, and this is probably especially true for these two and both of them let the other do so in canon! Am I weird for going crazy over this?

I know Battle Network 2 is where their relationship starts to take a positive turn and has that famous cute tsundere moment, but 4 and 5 really show how far they've become! Plus, 4 has Netto act like the tsundere for once lol

I’m pretty sure that college au netzan drabble was probably one of the first netzan fics I read, and I loVE IT

bless you and your writing ✨✨
