Shooting Star Rockman Tribe is a anime based on MegaMan Star Force 2, and sequel to the first MegaMan Star Star Force anime.

Plot

This story takes place a few months after the events of the first anime. All the EM Viruses have disappeared and the Earth is at peace. However one day viruses unlike those seen before, and two mysterious men attack the museum where the artifact, Sword of Zerker (Sword of Berserk), is held. These men are Hyde and Gori Monjirō (Rich Dotcom) with their UMAs. They fight with each other over the artifact, only resulting in War Rock (Omega-Xis) accidentally swallowing it. Later, Subaru (Geo) meets Doctor Orihime (Dr. Vega) and she informs him of the continent of Mu and the OOPArts. Burai (Rogue) arrives and attacks Subaru and War Rock to take the OOPArt. They are quickly defeated, but Orihime manages to drive Burai off with an EM weapon.

Orihime then requests that Subaru and War Rock find the other OOPArts and prevent Monjirō, Hyde and Burai from getting them. While traveling across the world in search of the artifacts, Rock Man (Mega Man) finds himself frequently struggling with his adversaries, while also discovering that he needs to master his new Thunder Zerker form, granted by the OOPArt. Eventually, Gori Monjirō and Yeti get their hands on the Rock of Saurian (Rock of Dinosaur), whilst Hyde and Ghost (Phantom) claim the Star of Shinobi (Star of Ninja). A three-way struggle ensues between them in attempts to claim the other OOPArts, but eventually it is revealed that Doctor Orihime wants the OOPArts for herself to resurrect Ra Mu (Le Mu).

Empty (Hollow) then proceeds to extract the OOPArts from Yeti Blizzard and Phantom Black (Dark Phantom). Due to the three OOPArts resonating with each other, the portal to Mu is opened. Empty and Orihime enter the portal, closely followed by Rock Man and Harp Note, who want to stop Ra Mu from resurrecting. Phantom Black and Yeti Blizzard also follow Orihime, having been promised eternal life. There, Empty takes the final OOPArt from War Rock after he terminates Denpa Henkan (EM Wave Change) to spare Subaru from Empty's attacks. As Orihime proceeds with the resurrection of Ra Mu, Subaru and Harp Note find Burai, who was also tasked with the mission of preventing the reappearance of the Mu continent. Subaru eventually finds War Rock, changes to Rock Man, and attempts to stop Ra Mu's resurrection by removing the OOPArts. This results in the three OOPArts resonating with him, transforming him into Thunder Zerker, then briefly to Zerker Shinobi and Zerker Saurian, ending with Tribe King. Empty attempts to stop him, but a single blow from Tribe King kills him.

With Ra Mu being resurrected, Rock Man, Harp Note, Yeti Blizzard and Phantom Black escape through the portal back to Earth. However, the portal grows larger as Ra Mu attempts to crawl through to the other side. At this moment, Burai appears, commanding Rock Man to destroy the portal as he holds off Ra Mu, sealing him with it for good. Rock Man does so using Czar Delta Breaker, sealing off the continent, with Ra Mu and Burai. Once again, the Earth is safe.

Trivia

• Judging from the opening, it appears that Capcom had initially planned for the appearance of the Wood Ninja and Fire Saurian transformations, but were forced to end the show early. Should the show have continued, these transformations and other Double Tribes may have had a chance to appear also.
