Shadow Man

Shadow Man (シャドーマン) is a stealthy and powerful ninja themed Robot Master created by Dr. Wily. He is a master of ninjitsu, and has a giant frog robot that he can ride on (a reference to Jiraiya, a rogue ninja hero from a Japanese folktale, who mastered frog magic). In his ending from Mega Man: Battle & Chase, he creates a fortress and protects it, saying he will give one million zenny to who manages to reach the top.

Strategy

 * In most games, Shadow Man attacks by jumping, throwing Shadow Blades, and sliding.


 * He can use the Kawarimi no Jutsu (a ninja technique that replaces the body of the user by a object, usually a piece of log) as defense in Super Adventure Rockman and Mega Man 2: The Power Fighters.


 * In Mega Man 2: The Power Fighters, he can use makibishis, and summon a giant frog (possibly a Croaker) that attacks with its tongue, a flamethrower (Shadow Man says "Katon no Jutsu" before this attack), and spits Kerones.

Trivia

 * Many Shadow Men appear as cameos inside cars at a field from Mega Man's Soccer.
 * The weapon obtained from Shadow Man is similar to the Metal Blade obtained from Metal Man in Mega Man 2.
 * The shadow armor from x6 may be based off of Shadow Man or may indicate that shadow man may have switched sides (gone against Wily) and then let Dr. Light scan/ asses his systems.
