Roll.EXE (ロール Rōru) is a character in MegaMan NT Warrior anime series, sharing the role of the main heroine with her operator, Maylu Sakurai.
Appearance[]
Roll is a humanoid female NetNavi with an apparent black body, a bright pink area on the upper body, a hot pink area on her lower body, hot pink hands, and pink boots with gray. She wears a pink helmet with a hot pink area on the front, and a pair of yellow transparent antennae connect on the front of her helmet. She has green eyes and a long yellow ponytail. Her Navi mark has a pale yellow surrounding and it seemingly represent a heart on a yellow background.
Overview[]
Much like her video game counterpart, Roll shares the role of main heroine alongside her operator Maylu, in which the two of them work together with Lan, MegaMan, and the rest of their friends throughout many adventures in the series and in addition to this, Roll is also show to develop and have personal feelings for MegaMan as well.
In the anime, Roll has the ability to use the bands on her head to read data.
Relationships[]
- MegaMan.EXE - In the games, their relationship receives a lot of focus. However, in the anime, since Mega spends a significant amount of time defending his friends and loved ones, he comes to care about Roll, but also comes to view her as someone to be protected. This causes her to take offense at one point when it seemed to her that he thought little of her abilities. When this clears up, Mega and Roll grow even closer, and their relationship is strong enough to forge a Double Soul in Axess. As a final note, Roll has a big crush on MegaMan, taking every opportunity to engage in physical affection with him (like holding onto his arm, for example). Although he reciprocates, later seasons of the anime make her affections even more expressive while at the same time presenting him as clueless over them.
- GutsMan.EXE - In the MegaMan NT Warrior anime, GutsMan has a large well of affection for Roll, which imitates Dex's crush on Maylu and which, similarly, is unrequited. However, while Mayl is usually more subtle in warding off Dex's unwanted advances, Roll usually must confront a hulk of a Navi whose large muscles and little brain sometimes don't mix well; Roll has been known to respond with violence to keep GutsMan at bay. Despite her frustration with GutsMan's limited intelligence, Roll considers GutsMan a good friend and ally and appreciates that GutsMan will always be there for her.
History[]
MegaMan NT Warrior[]
In the anime series, Roll is a fellow NetNavi working with MegaMan to help stop the WWW from succeeding with their evil plans. Roll's operator is Maylu Sakurai, a friend of Lan Hikari, the operator of MegaMan. Roll has many attacks such as her Roll Blast, that she used against TorchMan in the episode "Hot Tempers!", and her Roll Control which she used against WackoMan in the episode, "Wacky Maddness & Blazing Battles!".
In "Evil Empress Roll", Roll was hacked by the Devil Chip, which had appeared innocuous and had been called the "Super Great White Angel Chip" when Maylu had first received it from Higsby (actually Yahoot in disguise). She was forcibly transformed into a more malicious version of herself with dominatrix overtones and took on the name "Empress" ("Roll-sama" in Japan). This effect was eliminated when Maylu manually overrode the Devil Chip with another.
Following the events of the N1 Grand Prix, Dr. Hikari gives Roll a modified virus named Rush as a pet. Rush is happily welcomed and proves to be a great asset while navigating PharaohMan's desert and pyramid.
MegaMan NT Warrior Axess[]
In episode four of Axess, "Soul Unison!", Roll was up against FlashMan, who was causing blackouts all over ACDC. MegaMan attacks him, but Roll accidentally hits MegaMan with her Aqua Tower, almost deleting him. Lan takes MegaMan to Scilab where Dr. Hikari begins the repair process. Angry at herself, Roll goes back to fight FlashMan. Roll holds him off as much as possible while MegaMan is repaired. FlashMan admits to being amused by her, but easily defeats her. Just as she is about to be deleted, MegaMan arrives and a Soul Unison is activated. Using Roll Soul, FlashMan is defeated.
Rockman.EXE Stream[]
When Meddy appears, it becomes apparent to Roll that she has also taken an interest in Rockman, forming a love triangle and inciting Roll's jealousy. The two start as rivals for Rockman's affections, but eventually their rivalry expands to other fields as well.
Notably, Roll and Meiru gain the ability to Cross Fuse. However, it appears as though their compatibility isn't as strong as the other members, which leads Meijin to suggest that they use the Rush Synchro Chip to bypass this limitation.
Rockman.EXE: Hikari to Yami no Program[]
TBA
Rockman.EXE Beast[]
In Beast, she is shown taking care of Trill with Rockman and is one of the few Navis to travel to Beyondard, though she and Meiru do not Cross Fuse.

She continues to make appearances in Beast+.
Abilities[]
- Heart Flash (ハートフラッシュ Hāto Furasshu)/Roll Blast: Roll blow a kiss, where she then launches several pointy hearts.
- Roll Control: Roll releases a heart that enters the target, making it obey her. (In the original Japanese, this is a variant on her signature "Heart Flash"), which temporarily causes ColorMan's clones to turn against ColorMan himself. This attack is never again used in the series.
- Roll Arrow (ロールアロー Rōru Arō): Roll's long range attack. She will create a bow, and fire an arrow with a heart motif.
- Rollflash (ロールフラッシュ Rōru Furasshu, Roll Flash): Roll's signature attack. She attacks the opponent with her head-attachments.
