Heel Navi (ヒールナビ Hīrunabi), also known as HealNavi in the English Mega Man Battle Network 4, is a NetNavi from the Mega Man Battle Network series with an intimidating appearance. They are mostly wielded by criminals or are solo NetNavis, being the most common solo NetNavis that MegaMan.EXE will encounter.

Overview[]

Heel Navis do dirty jobs for money and some work for evil organizations. However, not all of them are evil. Some are good NetNavis, but are outcasts because of their appearance.

Mega Man Battle Network 1-2 HeelNavi.

The Heel Navi's appearance changes throughout the series. In Mega Man Battle Network and Mega Man Battle Network 2, they were simply black NormalNavis. Later, in Mega Man Battle Network 3, 4 and 5, they were purple with disk shaped heads.

Some Heel Navis are opponents in Mega Man Battle Network 4, and some participants in the tournaments use Heel Navis. They are usually used by criminals or are rabble rousing, trying to stir up some kind of trouble.

In Mega Man Battle Network 5, it appears that using Dark Chips too many times will result in a NormalNavi becoming a Heel Navi. Their color scheme distinguishes them from typical NetNavis. They appear in the Undernet in large numbers, but also in secret areas that no NormalNavi are found in. These Heel Navis usually have an even darker shading or other distinctions that make them more menacing.

Mega Man Battle Network 6 HeelNavi.

In Mega Man Battle Network 6, there are some Heel Navis who were hired by Mayor Cain to help awaken the Cybeast inside MegaMan.EXE through a special chant. A group of them even attempt to ambush MegaMan on a few occasions, but not all Heel Navis work for Mayor Cain. Others are just freelance trouble makers that do bad things for their own agenda. Toward the end of Battle Network 6, CopyBots are used to send many Heel Navi's to attack in the real world. Interacting with them will trigger a random virus encounter.

Moveset[]

In Mega Man Battle Network 4, Heel Navis comes in two kinds with different fighting styles:

  1. The first kind fights alongside viruses or other HeelNavis at the start of the battle, usually indicated by their low HP. They move all over the field and use LilBomb and LongSword. Like many Navis and viruses in Mega Man Battle Network 4, they can also hold extra BattleChips like AreaGrab.
  1. The second kind starts the battle just by themselves, usually indicated by their high HP. They usually stick to the back row and only move forward during attacks, they use CannonBall and FighterSword. During the battle, the HeelNavi can continuously summon viruses (up to 2 on the field) to overwhelm their foe. If they try to summon while there are already 2 viruses, they will cheer them on instead.

Known Heel Navis[]

Each tournament from Mega Man Battle Network 4 has one participant with a Heel Navi:

  • The Eagle/Hawk Tournament: Riki has a Heel Navi named Crusher (クラッシャー). Riki is set to be a future mafia leader, but he wanted to quit the mafia and open a bakery with the prize money from the tournament. The current boss disagrees and takes Riki's PET from him, saying she would give Crusher back after they where disqualified. Some members of the mafia planned to delete Crusher and later the current boss to take over the organization, but Lan and MegaMan discovered their plan and saved Crusher, revealing the plan to the other boss. The boss takes care of the traitors and let Riki enters the tournament.

In the anime[]

NaviBlack

Two Navi Blacks in Stream.

While normal Heel Navis do not show up in the anime, Navi Blacks show up in Rockman.EXE Stream as part of a virus army sent by Wan Tanmen to steal Cardamom’s legendary panacea recipe. They appear to be unable to speak, instead making high-pitched squeals, but seem to be able to independently slot-in battles chips, using the CannBall, Sword, and Step Sword chips. The are deleted by Rockman.EXE. Nihao! Net Hermit

Trivia[]

  • "Heel" is the term for villain characters used in professional wrestling. Within the name, this seems to lampshade the evil stereotype associated with Heel Navis.
  • A few Heel Navis have admitted to being fans of Solar Boy Django.
