This article is about the Zoanoroid GateMan.EXE. For his video game counterpart, see GateMan.EXE. Not to be confused with GateballMan. |
Zoano GateMan (ゾアノゲートマン Zoano Gētoman) is an antagonist from Rockman.EXE Beast. He is a Zoanoroid in Falzer's army, and a ruthless and crazed soldier willing to go to extreme measures to complete his task, having no care for other's lives if they are not of Falzer.
Unlike his video game counterpart, Zoano GateMan was never shown to have been operated by Meijin, and due to being a Zoanoroid, his original personality before becoming devoted to Falzer is unknown.
History[]
Rockman.EXE Beast[]
Zoano GateMan first appears hunting down Zoano NumberMan. When he catches up to Zoano NumberMan and interrogates him, Zoano NumberMan refused to speak, so Zoano GateMan blasted him with his Gate Cannon and fatally wounds him before picking Zoano NumberMan up by his glass head and downloading his data. He then throws Zoano NumberMan down, smashing his head and deleting him.
He later enters the Cyber World of the boat that Netto Hikari, Meiru Sakurai, Yuichiro Hikari, and Meijin are aboard, and when Zoano QuickMan attacks Netto, Dr. Hikari and Meiru, who were underwater in a submarine at the time, attempt to surface, however Zoano GateMan causes the sub to rapidly sink. Zoano GateMan watches as C.F. Rockman and Zoano QuickMan fight, and activates a semi-truck to smash into Zoano QuickMan, giving C.F. Rockman a chance to use a Wide Shot Battle Chip and delete Zoano QuickMan. Afterward, Meijin informs Netto that the Blue Abyss, the sub that Dr. Hikari are Meiru is in, is sinking, so Rockman plugs-in to investigate and finds a large hand holding onto the control system. Rockman attempts to destroy it but is blocked by Zoano GateMan, who introduces himself. Rockman demands Zoano GateMan release the control system, but Zoano GateMan tells him if he shoots at him, he will destroy the system, leaving Dr. Hikari and Meiru to die. He informs him he was the one who helped them defeat Zoano QuickMan and states that if Rockman won’t attack, he will attack first, and sends out his Gate Soldiers, who beat up Rockman. He fires his Gate Cannon before frying the controls of the crane Meijin was using to pull up the Blue Abyss, blowing it up. He then uses his Devil's Hand attack on Rockman, and tells Trill that if he wants to save Rockman, Dr. Hikari, and Meiru, he will surrender to Falzer. Trill falls for the trap, and Zoano GateMan begins blasting the control system with his Gate Cannon, causing massive destruction while laughing maniacally. Rockman manages to free himself from the Devil's Hand with a Charge Shot, but Zoano GateMan starts stomping on him as he reaches out for Trill. Trill fuses with Rockman, causing him to transform into Glaga-Beast Rockman, which Zoano GateMan marvels at. Aiming for Trill
Zoano GateMan and G-Beast Rockman continue their fight in as G-Beast Rockman begins assaulting Zoano GateMan, who manages to barely allude him with his Remote Gate. He grabs him with his Devil's Hand, but Rockman merely breaks through, forcing him to flee into his gates more. He re-emerges in front of the controls system for the stabilizer, which Rockman attacks indiscriminately, and continues fleeing, and Meijin notes he is stalling for time. Moments later it’s revealed he was waiting for Zoano SwallowMan to back him up, and as G-Beast Rockman is about to delete Zoano GateMan, Zoano SwallowMan distracts Rockman, however he finds Iris, noting she must know something, and leaves to the Real World to find her, leaving Zoano GateMan to fend for himself to his dismay. Eventually, Iris manages to re-enter the Cyber World and talk to Trill, and he turns Rockman into Falzer-Beast Rockman, shocking Zoano GateMan that he can use the power of his Lord Falzer as F-Beast Rockman out-speeds Zoano GateMan and instantly deletes him.
