Overview[]
This section requires expansion. |
Lan has few differences between himself and his video game counterpart, with the largest difference being his relationship with his NetNavi MegaMan; in the video games, MegaMan is in actuality his twin brother Hub, who had passed away at birth and given new life as MegaMan, while in the anime, MegaMan is a custom Navi gifted to him by his father for entering the fifth grade with no relation to Lan. Another large difference is Lan's ability to fuse with MegaMan with Cross Fusion, an element not present in the video games.
Lan is a young and headstrong boy, often letting his achievements and victories get to his head making him over confident, leading to his judgement being clouded. He is, however, a sharp and skilled NetBattler, bringing unexpected victory against an opponent when they believe they have the upper hand. His impressive show of skill lead him to be recruited as a NetSaver, where he showed an equal talent in fighting with Cross Fusion. He has a short temper, and can easily annoyed by a situation that frustrates him, and often has a foul mouth during these situations.
As the series progresses, Lan matures and gains a level head, no longer rushing into situations over confidently or without thinking and working alongside his comrades to tackle situations, as well as asking and taking advice from others.
Lan is loyal and kind to not only his friends, but most others he meets during his journeys, even his enemies, leading to him making many friends and allies. He is the childhood friend of Maylu Sakurai, who shows romantic interest in him, though he is oblivious to it most of the time. Over time, he makes friends with rivals Chaud Blaze and Raika and the three make a team.
Lan is a glutton for food, and his favorite food is curry, is a regular customer at Number 1 Curry.
In the original Japanese version of the show, Lan is known to use foul language when frustrated, a trait he shares with his video game counterpart.

This section requires expansion. |
Performed with MegaMan. Lan forms an "armor" of MegaMan on himself, allowing him to fight enemies in the real world with the assistance of a Dimensional Area.
Double Soul[]
Lan utilizes Double Soul when going up against C.F. LaserMan in the season finale of Axess. Because Cross Fusion already uses up much of Lan's strength, adding Double Soul onto it drained Lan of his energy quickly. Despite loading Proto Soul into his PET with the others, he never uses it.

C.F. MegaMan countered C.F. LaserMan's Star Break Laser with Torch Soul's Fire Arm.
