He does not appear in the US and European versions of the Game Boy Advance games, but he does appear in the Mega Man Battle Network Legacy Collection version.
Game History[]
Mega Man Battle Network 6[]
The Count can be found in the Immortal Area. In order to face him, the player has to open the door in Underground2 with the aid of BatKey by defeating Bass first. Then help Django find Otenko, which can also be found locked in the Undernet. The Count cannot be damaged at first, but Django intervenes and he can be damaged. After defeating him, the player will obtain his Battle Chip.
The Count is also the boss of the multiplayer mode Crossover Battle 2, available with a link between Rockman.EXE 6 and Shin Bokura no Taiyō (Boktai 3), replacing ShadeMan from the previous Crossover Battle. Django and MegaMan each fight against one Count in their game, and the player win if he defeat the Count first or the other player is defeated. Players can also disturb the opponent by sending attacks or enemies to his game or heal the opponent's Count.
Abilities[]
The Count can use a variety of elemental attacks, along with some unique attacks as well.
- Fireball Attack (火の玉攻撃) - The Count launches 4 meteors at the player's area, leaving flame towers behind. He can also launch some of them in succession instead of all at once, all tracking the player.
- Thunder Attack (雷攻撃) - The Count zaps a panel in the second row with lightning, which launches a quad thunder attack in all 4 cardinal directions.
- Blood Lance (ブラッドランス) - 3 panels glow, and bloody red spikes tear out of the ground.
- Blood Rain (ブラッドレイン) - A 3x3 set of rows is engulfed in bloody rain. It usually does not include all of the players panels, so you can dodge it.

Trivia[]
- The Count's Navi Chips are not available in the US and European versions of the Game Boy Advance games. Although his Battle Chips were removed, it is possible to see them with cheat devices, but they will crash the game. They have the names “HackJack”, “HackJckEX”, and “HackJckSP”. The name "HackJack" is likely a mistranslation of Hakushaku, the Japanese word for Count. Due to an oversight, it is also possible to obtain the SP chip without cheating devices from Gold Mystery Data, but this is very rare.
- Due to a translation error, the Count is referred to as "Zap" by MegaMan.EXE in the English version of Mega Man Battle Network Legacy Collection.
