Dark ProtoMan.EXE

Dark ProtoMan, known as Dark Blues (ダークブルース) in Japan, is a dark version of ProtoMan.EXE created from the darkness of Dark Chips.

Battle Network 5
Dark ProtoMan is unique to the Team ProtoMan version of the game, hence the name. He appears as the boss of the last story-related Liberation mission in Undernet 6. Unfortunately, he does not have his unique anime appearance, instead he is just tinted more black. Dark ProtoMan comes into existence after ProtoMan was supposedly deleted by CloudMan.EXE. He was taken to Nebula base and corrupted with Dark Power. Dark ProtoMan is leader of the liberation mission in UnderNet and is defeated. But while he is regaining his true self, CosmoMan.EXE teleports him away.

Dark ProtoMan reappears in the UnderNet in order to stop MegaMan.EXE from destroying the last Soul Net Server. Then Colonel.EXE and Meddy.EXE arrive and cure him. After that Dark ProtoMan is no more.

MegaMan NT Warrior Axess
ShadeMan.EXE tried destroy Regal's tanker after the dimensional area was destroyed by LaserMan.EXE. Lan Hikari, MegaMan.EXE, Eugene Chaud, and ProtoMan rushed to the case inside a helicopter. ShadeMan was to powerful for MegaMan and ProtoMan so Lan Hikari and MegaMan decided to use the Dark Chip to empower MegaMan. Just as Lan was about to slot in the Dark Chip, Eugene Chaud and ProtoMan decided to use the Dark Chip instead. Eugene Chaud snatched the Dark Chip in his PET. The darkness was taking over ProtoMan, so he gave MegaMan a Soul Unison. MegaMan used Soul Unison ProtoMan and defeated ShadeMan. ProtoMan was then corrupted and became Dark Protoman and retreated into the net.

He returned in Episode 29, under the command of LaserMan.EXE, to destroy all of the data regarding the new PET. He is engaged in battle with Enzan, who then traps him. He destroys the trap as GravityMan is defeated by R-Rockman. He then appears before Enzan and then logs out. He is then seen giving his apologies to LaserMan.EXE, who, in return, overwrites his data, changing his physical appearance and removing the remnants of his personality as Blues. His physical appearance changed alot, but is somehow cooler than his original form. He also has a much more outspoken, not to mention much more evil, attitude. He is embedded with a unique Darkchip, which cannot be destroyed by conventional means, such as the vaccine chip, and does not corrupt him no matter how many times he uses it.

He reappears as his new self at the end of Episode 33 after R-Rockman defeated GravityMan. He makes his entrance with a rather evil laugh and continues on to thank Enzan on using the Darkchip on him. He also states that he is no longer a Net Navi, and that he is now a Darkloid. R-Rockman shot at him with a Vulcan battlechip, which only produced smoke. By the time the smoke cleared, he had disappeared.

He returns in Episode 34 to prevent R-Rockman from finishing off R-Prisman. However, he is interupted by Enzan, who is using his Battlechip gate, when he was just about to execute R-Rockman. He is the only character to barely have a reaction when R-Rockman and R-Prisman simultaneously hit each other in the other's crest. After R-Prisman's cross fusion broke, he pitied the human, Misaki, and retreated.

He appears again in Episode 36 in an attempt to destroy the new PET as its data is being finalized. Fortunately, Anetta swipes the new PET just before DarkBlues was about to finish with his coup de grace. He then slowly chases Anetta and Enzan in a rather arrogant way and appears be having alot of fun while he chases them down. He is then lured into and trapped in the Sci Lab dimensional area by Enzan. He destroys the dimensional area after R-Rockman defeated NovaMan, but at the expense of his sword. He vows to defeat R-Rockman and curses Enzan and says that he will remember what he did. He retreats and the dimensional area is disengaged.

He makes a brief appearance in Episode 41 when he was sent to investigate a non-Nebula, non-Darkloid, and non-Sci Lab dimensional area. He is suprised to see that it was Forte who created the dimensional area and attempts to convince him to join Nebula. In response, Forte tells him to be gone and disengages the dimensional area.

He disappears for a few episodes and reappears in Episode 46. This time, his mission is to destroy the remaining Control-X server to prevent the Net Police from discovering the location of Regal's satellite. His attack is intervened by R-Rockman who slams him into the wall. He then pushes R-Rockman away engages in sword-to-sword combat and uses his Dark aurea to enhance his power. As he is running out of time, he finishes off R-Rockman with his signature Delta Ray Edge, and destroys the Control-X server after Enzan discovered the location of Regal's satellite.

In Episode 47, he is summoned by Dr. Regal to fight R-Rockman aboard his satellite. He attempts to end the fight by using his dark aura against R-Rockman directly. However, the new PET gives R-Rockman special protection against the dark aura as well as draining the dark aura. R-Rockman tries to bring Enzan back into his memories, to which he ferverently denies. He is forced to retreat when Dr. Regal disengages the dimensional area.

He reappears in Episode 48 to oversee the completion of Yuriko's mission, the assassination of her sister. He also comments that she is unlike the other (Misaki) because she is not affected by the corrupting powers of the Dark synchro chip due to the blessings of Duo. After Yuriko ignores his order to execute her sister, he decides to finish the job himself. After Yuriko actively betrayed Nebula by protecting her sister, Dark blues defeated Yuriko by destroying her crest and delivers his coup de grace by destroying the part of the bridge, sending Yuriko and Misaki into the water below.

He makes his final appearance in Episode 49. This time, his mission is to destroy the dimensional area which Sci Lab had just completed. Instead, he falls into a trap when he destroyed the decoy converters. The real converters were strategically located inside of the Nebula dimensional area. After realizes that he has been ambushed, he turns the tables by attempting to destroy the dimensional area by charging his buster (not the normal kind, by a type unique to him). A single shot lowered the dimensional area's energy output to 63%, the second shot lowered the energy output to 25%. During this time, R-Rockman was attempting to reduce the power of his dark aura, a plan developed by Sci Lab. However, the power was far greater than what they figured in their calculations. R-Rockman allows him to take the first shot and depleted his dark aura. Sci Lab attempts to destroy his dark chip with the vaccine chip but fails because his chip is unique. Enzan intervenes yet again with his own vaccine chip, which removes DarkBlues's dark aura. Then he and DarkBlues crossfuse.

The two then begin a mental battle at the house of Enzan's childhood, where they first met. They both viewed a memory of the past, which have a strong effect on both of them. The memory was of when they first met. We get to see a much more younger, much less serious, and much more happy, version of Enzan. Darkblues responds by using his charge buster to create a big hole in the wall where the memory took place, much to the shock of Enzan. After a confusing battle, Enzan shows some affection and hugs Darkblues, while R-Rockman, on the outside, drains Dark R-Blues of his dark aura. Darkblues is then purified and then reverts back to Blues.

Theme Song
DarkBlues also has a unique, and very cool, theme song that plays whenever he appears in the anime. Even though an original soundtrack has not been released for any series after the first season yet (probably never), a replication of the song is available on www.rockman-exe.com. It was created by someone who uses the alias Heat Man, as stated on the site.
