Zero X4: WHAT AM I FIGHTING FOR!? Zero Z4: I never cared about justice, and I don't ever recall calling myself a hero... I have always only fought for the people that I believe in. I won't hesitate... If an enemy appears before me, I will destroy it! He finally knows what he was fighting for and it all happened at the number four.
Everything is coming full circle (even if that's something he did throughout the entire zero Series, since copy X and the guardians called him maverick since day 1.)
He technically was a maverick in the first place. He was made to be evil and be the last creation of Wily to make sure that his presence was felt in the future. Though the Virus imbedded in Zero caused him to be more chaotic, meaning when Sigma broke Zero's Forehead Gem, the base personality that was supposed to be in zero was erased, leaving only the "Maverick" version, which was the opposite of what Wily wanted, a creation that fought for Good and Peace. Not even Wily was able to bring back Zero's core personality, as Zero's personality chip was in the possession of Cain and X. Even though Zero killed a Man, he was doing it for the sake of saving many more lives in the process. Zero was following the Zeroth law. Zero didn't allow humanity to come to harm by killing Weil.
Zero finally put that question that's been echoing in his head for centuries, Iris' death was not in vain, He fulfilled both Dr. Light's _and_ Dr. Wily's goals, by carving his own path, fighting for those he believes in.
For centuries he may have been asleep, but he indeed woke up with definitive ideals, and a true answer to his long lasting doubts (If we have in mind that all of this should happen after X5). Zero is a really self concious man, and he indeed woudn't back off from any threat, small or big, that would put his friends, and his beloved Ciel in harms way. A true Hero and decisive warrior. I feel sad for his demise, but he indeed died protecting what he believed. A true HERO indeed!
"I never cared about justice.. And I don't ever recall caling my self a hero. I fight to protect those who I believe in. I Won't hesitate! If an enemy appears in front of me, I'll destroy IT!! " This speech is legendary... I will never forget it..
Killing a monster who lost his right to call himself human after a massive genocide and nearly destroying all life on the world out of petty hate and enjoyment out of it. Weil deserved death.
I never cared about justice, and I don't recall ever calling myself a hero... I have always only fought for the people I believe in. I won't hesitate... If an enemy appears in front of me, I will destroy it!
I mean this fight is more for Zero, it is also to avenge X, which I feel like many people seem to forgot that through Weil's action X gave himself up, sealed himself and ultimately sacrificed himself with what remained of him
Weil: If you kill me you will become the very thing you swore to destroy. Zero: The only thing I swore is: If an enemy appears in front of me, I will destroy it!
That's what makes that battle so epic. Feeling that you need to avoid his attacks, prove that you're good enough. Prove that you *know* what you're fighting for and *nothing* will stop you, not even Weil.
"Do you really have it IN you to KILL me?!?!" Mega Man in 7 could had prevented all of this happening yet his programming to not harm humans did not allow him to take Wily's life. X's 30 year morality testing ensured that he would never harm a human in spite of having free will which led to Weil being spared yet became the monster he is now. Zero who was created to cause endless fighting as a last attempt to spite his creator's rival ended up choosing to kill a human despite not having true free will like X does. Over the long years, Zero learned and grew to think for himself thanks to X being around and showing him that there is more to life than fighting and eventually placing his faith in the people he choose to believe in by fighting those who are causing suffering on others.
This is probably my favorite final boss, he may not be that hard, but man, the build up to this boss, and Zero fighting knowing he must likely won't make it out alive. It's just epic, I can't think of any better word.
I just love how dr light and dr willy respective dream came true by the joint work of both their creation. Dr Light dream of human and reploid coexistence never would have come true without the strenght of willy robot zero and dr willy dream of creating the strongest most destructive robot in the world never would have come true without x and light vision.
Now X and Zero can rest in peace, knowing that the world that Dr. Light and X dreamed of can finally be made... It's not like this will cause anymore chaos in the future or anything... Obviously not...
A more accurate translation would be: "How could I... to this mere puppet...? (You) Perish! Perish forever!" Original: "この... ワシが… この人形ごときに... 滅べ！滅んでしまえぇ！！"
Zero was a stoic badass to the end. Only two minutes to defeat this boss? Don't care, still doing it. Fighting on a falling space station as it heats up from atmospheric re-entry? Don't care, just focusing on the fight. Good chance you'll die even if you win? Doesn't matter, still saving everyone I care about. Breaking the laws of robotic by killing a human as a reploid? Don't care, still doing it cause it needs to be done.
Someone mentioned that Zero, in this battle, is operating on the 0th Law of Robotics: Under no circumstances can a robot, through Action or Inaction, let Humanity come to harm. This law allows it to override the other 3, but is never programmed in, most of the time. Zero never had it programmed, either. Instead...I believe he LEARNED this Trump Law. From X, of all reploids.
Zero technically respected the Laws of Robotics, because the prime objective of those laws is the preservation of humanity as a whole. And since Weil lost his humanity years ago, he doesn't count.
Zero: "I never cared about justice, and I don't recall ever calling myself a hero... I have always only fought for the people I believe in. I won't hesitate... if an enemy appears in front of me, I will destroy it!" Ciel: "Zero... ZERO!" Zero: "Ciel... believe in me." Ciel: *"ZEROOOOOOOOO!!!!"* Dr. Weil: "I am an endless nightmare!" *WARNING*
I never cared about justice, and I don't recall ever calling myself a hero. I have only fought for the people I believe in. I won't hesitate. If an enemy appears in front of me, I will destroy it! - Zero
The battle may only last for 2 minutes at most, but once Weil is defeated and Zero has said his goodbyes, he still rocks out to this until he hits the ground. Not a bad way to go, I suppose.
It's a retroactive thing, but I love how Mega Man 11 showed initially Wily wanted to make robots who could become heroes. Despite eventually losing sight of that goal, his final creation not only succeeded in becoming the world's greatest hero, but also Light's deam of humans and robots living together peacefully as shown by the ZX series. However, it couldn't have been done without the aid of X. And that also fits into Light's desire to have him and Wily's ideas work together instead of being in opposition.
@Wessell Urdata actually, Zero just says that to calm down X, in the boss fights, Zero says that he doesn't know how he came back, and that he said what he said to calm down X if I remember correctly
I remember I came back to this series after playing the first 3 games as a kid, when I was a teen and finally figuring out what happened in the 4th game and I got so sad and actually heartbroken when I finished it.
And that's exactly what makes Zero superior towards X. Zero is absolutely risking his life fully known, that he will not make it, but also going full maverik at this moment, just to protect everyone, that is dear to him. Something, that you can't expect from X (because to do the fact, that X was created as a light of hope by Dr. Thomas light, while Zero was created as a destructive maniac by Dr. Albert Willy)
I was PLANNING to beat this boss with the Mega Axe ... ... ... Then I accidentally pressed my Toss Weapon button... In the end, the final hit was dealt with a single uncharged Buster Pellet.
i saw a comment from another video playing this theme and it said 'when i read the title of the theme,i think of zero falling down a very long staircase'
Finished Zero 4 one month ago, while I don't remember too much from it because some Megaman games just sorta blend in with others for me (although that's not the game's fault, it's my memory's fault) But this final boss man, it's fantastic conclusion not only for the MMZ series but the entire Megaman Series up until zero 4, in all of these games we see what the creations of wily and light are up to, and now that X is gone, zero just does what he does best, he fights for those he believes in and destroys Weil once and for all. While I know this is far from the last canonical Megaman game, the ZX games (which are even more underrated than the zero games) are more so an aftermath of what happened, not to mention that X and Zero aren't exactly the ones doing things there. This final boss was just insanely memorable, while it's not my favourite final boss (that honor goes to void termina) it's amazing. (Also just wanted to throw this out there, the first time I played, Weil won by one HP because of the timer. Just wanted to say it since usually it's the heroes that nearly win at the last second, not the villains.)
I haven't actually played the Collection, so I'm going to assume you're just unaware of how low quality Zero 4's original soundtrack sounds? Or is the gamerip just bad? Sounds pretty consistent with the others to me...
Ciel!! *wait for it* *not quite done* *almost* *just a bit more* *here we go* *get ready* *you know whats coming don't you* *well, here it is. In all in all zero's glory* BELIEVE IN ME!!!!!!!!!!
Wait so what actually happens if the timer reaches 0? Do we get like a dialogue or do we just get Zero's death animation in which the game treats it as it was just a regular death?
had to save load for this fight using an emulator,sry i lost most of my hp in the previous fight and i didnt expect that the phase 2 is harder than the first one lol and still took me 2 hour to pass.
One of the best fucking final boss themes of all time. No joke. Just as epic as Sword of Doom from BlazBlue (Chronophantasma version is 100x more epic).
