Board Thread:General Mega Man Discussion/@comment-14250-20191029160800

This thread is obviously to be avoided unless you've seen all 52 episodes of MMFC since it contains some revelations.

One thing that really bothered me is that when Obsidian says he knows what the Mega Key is and what it does, and comments that Chaotique was an exemplary agent... Aki just seems to take this at face value, exclaiming that she betrayed them...

JUST THE EPISODE PRIOR they were VERY CLOSE. Aki and Light saved her life, and she seemed genuinely grateful. WHY would they just take Obsidian's word for it? They already know he's a manipulate liar, after all. Even Light is on board for this "she made her choice".

We have absolutely no idea whether Chaotique DID make a choice. Consider:
 * Namagem still had Hypno Woman powers between ep 50-51
 * Obsidian has shown in the past he knows how to predict and intercept Chaotique on her pranking routes (seen at start of ep 50)

So they couldn't simply intercepted her again and hypnotized her into telling the secret of Light's lab.

Another possibility also exists: Light mentions when he is healing Chaotique that a small mistake could annihilate a robot's soul. What if Light did make a mistake, and this actually turned her mentally unstable like how Ice Man was until they installed a emotional temperature regulator?

If Light did indeed screw up and damage her personality, then perhaps the seemingly grateful Chaotique was actually evil, but how is that her choice?

I also want to point out... I can't recall ever seeing Ashley Adderley and Chaotique in the same room together... and they both have blue hair... so even though it seems like Ashley is human (like Suna Light) and couldn't be Chaotique... I dunno, I have my theories?

That of course wouldn't do away with the love triangles, because if it comes back for season 3 it might well be a "Miraculous: Adventures of Ladybug and Cat Noir" type situation where neither knows the other's secret identity.

Chaotique did hint at the end of her debut episode that she knew Megaman's secret identity, but this was seemingly abandoned by her 2nd appearance because she began calling him "Peter" and then looked shocked when she saw Peter Punkowski and Megaman side by side. Peter does have blue eyes like Aki so I suppose it's not the worst theory, though I'd really like to figure out where she got this initial theory.

Chaotique's debut has her talking negatively about humans (weak, can't keep up with robots for maximum prankage) so it might seem strange for her to masquerade as one if she does turn out to be Ashley. Perhaps she might have a split personality though? Or maybe it's a case like Breaker Night where Chaotique isn't fully human or fully robot, and is actually a cyborg?

If that's the case, it might explain why the Mega Key might not work properly on her, if a partial human nature might screw up the use of a device that is intended only for 100% robots, like if Light tried to use the Mega Key to repair Obsidian, not knowing he was actually Breaker underneath.

Could Light, in his arrogance, not conceive that he misused the Mega Key in repairing Chaotique, and think that her giving information to Obsidian must 100% be her choice and her fault?

Even so: I just don't understand why Aki+Doc wouldn't remember that "No Name" had Hypno-Woman powers which could've been used to pry the information out of her mind without consent.

The name thing is another problem... the name "Namagem" is actually only 1st spoken in this show in episode 51, as far as I am aware. I can't remember hearing it prior to that. Aki emphasizes when he tries to hold more than 3 powers that "I still don't even know his name" and he and Suna later keep referring to him as "No Name".

It appears the 1st opportunity Aki has to learn the name "Namagem" is with the viewer: overhearing Obsidian giving him an order to watch his back while he's breaking down the vault door.

The strange thing about this is: after that fight, Aki begins talking to Dr. Light and Suna about "Namagem" and neither ask "who is Namagem?" which is strange because neither of them should know that name either...

Episode descriptions (I watch the show on Family CHRGD in Canada) are another problem. In his debut episode (the ep 19-20 double when Rush sacrifices himself to protect Aki) the summary only refers to a "mysterous lieutenant" which is fine, but in later episodes the summaries use the name "Namagem" which is a HUGE spoiler because nobody is supposed to know his name yet! It's intentionally avoided not just in fights with him, but even in the behind-the-scenes talks between Breaker+"No Name" where Breaker could've easily dropped it.

This isn't the only case where episode summaries include spoilers. In the debut episode of Ashley Adderley she is referred to as "Aki's crush" in the description, but there actually isn't any indication of him having a crush on her until later episodes.

I believe the 1st was when she was putting on a play, because you see him blush when her name is said and Suna says her name teasingly, indicating she is aware of Aki's crush on Ashley. This is built upon in the volcano episode where he dives in for her camera. Of course this all seems strangely forgotten as soon as Chaotique comes on the seen, and Dr. Light comments at the end of ep 50 "you like her, don't you?"

Aki doesn't seem to have dealt with the issue of liking both Ashley and Chaotique, and I'm wondering if writing in this last-minute "she betrayed us!" / "she made her choice" is some way of burying this potential triangle to shift Aki exclusively toward Ashley?

If they do make season 3, it could honestly be the most interesting season ever, with more drama, if they actually address how Aki and Thomas made abrupt unwarranted assumptions about Chaotique's innocence based on Obsidian's accusation.

The truth might be:
 * 1) Obsidian didn't find out about the Key from her at all, he found out through some other spy (such as Elec Man)
 * 2) Obsidian and Namagem captured Chaotique and used Hypno powers to learn the inormation
 * 3) The Mega Key malfunctioned and damaged Chaotique's soul, making her more chaotic.

In all 3 feasible situations, Chaotique would be innocent and Aki and Thomas would be in the wrong for turning against her. She might be looking for understanding from them, and not get it, as they blame her for the events of Gauntlet where the Lighthouse was invaded.

With Breaker seemingly out as the main villain, perhaps Namagem could be the new villain in season 3 (perhaps gaining a power-up by wearing a new version of Obsidian's armor, since he seems to have abandoned his previous armor) and Chaotique could be driven into being his ally by the harsh and inconsiderate assumptions that Aki+Thomas made about her.

That would be quite the team, since Chaotique has been seen to be the top-level speedster (even more than Elec Man or MM using Elec mode) and has basically never been beaten except for when she got zapped by the protective force field around Aki's memories.
