Chaud Blaze (anime)

Chaud Blaze (Enzan Ijuuin (伊集院炎山) in Japan) is a character in the MegaMan NT Warrior anime series. He is the NetOp of ProtoMan.EXE and is initially a aloof and confident rival of Lan Hikari, though the two eventually become close friends and work together.

Overview
TBA

MegaMan NT Warrior
In the anime, Chaud retains his personality from the games, though his respectful side develops much more quickly than in the aforementioned medium. He is the victor of the first series' N1 Grand Prix, defeating his opponents in mere seconds.

MegaMan NT Warrior Axess
In Axess, he becomes a Net Saver and gains the ability to perform Cross Fusion with ProtoMan, but falls into depression after giving a Dark Chip to ProtoMan in order to defeat the Darkloid leader, ShadeMan.EXE. Because the process ultimately transformed his Navi into Dark ProtoMan, Chaud feels responsible for his friend's suffering, and sets out to rectify his mistake and complete his duty as a Net Saver to stop the villains of the Nebula Syndicate.

Rockman.EXE Stream
 Chaud remains an important character after his appearance in Axess''. In Stream, he's one of the thirteen people who receive the Crest of Duo, a mark on the palm of his hand that signifies his courage, strength, and destiny in aiding against the defeat of Duo.EXE. However, for most of Stream, Chaud is in Netopia on official Net Saver business, often partnered with Raoul. Also, Chaud and his company introduce a new PET design, which amplifies Cross Fusion ability (and essentially gives both Lan and Chaud new Cross Fusion designs that are carried out for the rest of the anime).

Rockman.EXE Beast and Beast+
In Beast, Chaud is one of the five characters who are sent to the parallel world of Beyondard. Before reuniting with Lan, Raika (Laika), and Dingo, Chaud is partnered with Mayl Sakurai. Also, due to the upgraded Link PET used in Beast, Chaud is also given the ability of flight during Cross Fusion via jet-boosters on the bottom of his boots. Chaud remains a very regular character throughout Beast+, aiding Lan in many battles.

Theme
Chaud’s theme, simply called Enzan Ijuuin, is an aloof jazz tune that often plays when the scene revolves around the character acting cool and level headed.
