MegaMan NT Warrior Axess

MegaMan NT Warrior Axess, known as Rockman.EXE Axess in Japan, is the third season in the MegaMan NT Warrior anime series. It borrows story elements from Mega Man Battle Network 3 and Mega Man Battle Network 4, but has its own original story. It was followed by Rockman.EXE Stream, where the series only aired in Japan from then on.

Taking place a few months after MegaMan NT Warrior, Lan Hikari and his friends fight against the mysterious Nebula and ShadeMan.EXE’s Darkloids as SciLab attempts to find a way to create Cross Fusion. They are initially unsuccessful until they manage to capture a dimensional area converter, and Lan and MegaMan at first are the only ones who can Cross Fuse, though later Chaud Blaze and ProtoMan.EXE gain the ability to Cross Fuse as well, and the two fight the Darkloids in the cyber world and the real world. MegaMan also gains the ability to use Double Soul, which lets MegaMan combine with another Navi gain their powers.

ShadeMan and the Darkloids are the primary antagonists in the anime, with Nebula acting behind the scenes, eventually becoming the main antagonists for the second half of the series.
