Things are quickly going to hell as the continent
of Mu is starting to fall to Earth, and is releasing thousands of materialized wave viruses. MegaMan gets sucked up into the damn thing while Hollow chases after him. At the same time, Dr. Orihime convinces Hyde and Rich Dotcom to join her, and the three of them also follow to the Mu continent, with detective Bob Copper latching on to Yeti Blizzard's leg as well.MegaMan fights with all his might against Hollow, but Geo can barely stand. Omega-Xis tells Geo to break the Wave-Change and escape, fearing that Geo will be killed. Geo refuses but is knocked unconscious by the next shot from Hollow. To save Geo, Omega-Xis breaks the Wave-Change and leads Hollow away from Geo, knowing Hollow will chase him for the last OOPArt.
With Geo unconscious and not responding to Aaron Boreal's calls, Harp Note goes after him into Mu. She saves him just in time from a materialized virus when the two of them stumble upon a hidden lair.
Meanwhile, Hollow finally catches Omega-Xis and extracts the Sword of Berserk! He takes it to Dr. Orhime, and she instructs Yeti Blizzard and Dark Phantom to place the OOPArts to reawaken Ra Mu.
Inside the lair, Geo and Harp Note find Solo sleeping in a capsule. He awakens at the sound of their voice and explains that he is the last human from Mu, and it's his job as Mu's guardian to prevent Ra Mu from ever awakening, that's why he fought MegaMan to get the Sword of Berserk. Solo is still really injured, but has no choice but to try and stop Dr. Orihime. He wave-changes to Rogue and takes off. With Rogue injured, Omega-Xis out of reach, and all three OOPArts in Dr. Orihime's possession, things are not looking good for our heroes!
Critique
Fantastic episode, well animated, and intense. It's a pretty strong episode all around for most of the characters, especially Omega-Xis when he tries to save Geo. Bob Copper even gets some points for his out right insanity in trying to apprehend the villains.
Solo's role was completely rewritten, probably due to the time constraints of the season, but it makes enough sense within the context of the show at least to work well enough. Granted, if the show were to continue, a huge amount of the character would have been lost, and getting Rogue and MegaMan to actually fight each other in the rivalry style that is the games would be really tough, but it doesn't look like they were worried about that since the last episode is up next. I really like what they did with him here with what they had to work with, and it's a damn shame this show wasn't popular enough to continue.
Rating: Thumbs up!
