This was supposed to be the jump from the X series to the Zero series, but Capcom meddled abit with the storyline and then X6 came...
X6 wouldn't have been bad, but they should've left Zero's magical return out.
For people wondering if the classic Megaman got his ass kicked by Zero, the answer is here, by Inafune himself:

(thx to filipemtx for the link!)
It's ironic. Dr. Light's final creation and Dr. Wily's final creation turned out to be best friends.
+DrakeX93 DO you think who save X when Zero died ? I think Dr.Wily :) because he want X forget his painfull memory about his best friend Zero....so If you see bad ending (when Zero take Virus and cannot play at the end time ) you know X has Forget Zero already but Sigma never disapear in his Head....but X Want to build Elyseum in future for human and reploid live in peace like in series game Megaman Zero :)
+nhon le dinh No, it was obviously the "scientist" that was in Zero's ending. That proves that Zero can't be omega, because he is hidden in a place not even "authorities" nor X will be able to find him. #ZEROISHIT
Ikr? their friendship is one of the most epics I've ever seen :), makes me remember Daisuke & Ken from Digimon 02, they supposed to be enemies but turned best friends too :')
Gwen Borgnine I'm not a fan of Digimon, it sounded too childish for me (no offense), while the X series was more like something a grown up could have.
Elysium is the Megaman Legends Storyline. It`s a divergent Timeline. CyberElf X (Real X) Still remembers Zero in Megaman Zero And it takes place in Neo Arcadia.
When he died in X1 it didn't felt like in this game, i mean, in X1 we only knew that Zero was just the cool sidekick that helps X, but when the story got darker and darker and we got to knew more about him, i gotta say, i stared at Zero's destroyed body of the ending of X5 for like 15 minutes, i just felt like shit in that moment. That shows how strong was this story.
well during all of the games leading up to this keiji inafune said that he wanted zero to steal all of the good scenes.
rockmenx8xx Source, please
-MISSING- look up keiji inafune on wiki or look up megaman x.
rockmenx8xx I rather have a source from you. Since i am in my tablet.
-MISSING- try typing this en.wikipedia.org/wiki/zero_(Mega_Man)
Rule of thumb #1: if a red-clad blonde swordman appears in a Mega Man series, he has a good chance of dying. (Zero, Giro, Model Z) Rule of thumb #2: any romance involving said swordman will end up badly, not that it stops his fangirls.
Thinh Nguyen sigh... mmz4
This his death in Megaman Zero 4 hit me hard and damn even Ciel cried as long as the length of the credits.
@@garchompelago IKR that day I was certain that this is the end of zero and no more "i hid myself while I repair myself" both ciel and I kept crying until the end of the credits 😭 WHY ZERO? WHY DOES IT HAVE TO BE YOU? WHYYYYYYY?
Iris: dead. Layer: rejected. Ciel: Watched the man she loved get blown the fuck up like Hiroshima.
X5: "I'm sorry X... I think I have to die to restore the peace..." X6: "sup?"
...I...Iris... ...I'm sorry... TEARS. EVERYWHERE.
Kenpachi Ramasama three years ago and now you have answer I think like you I droped tears in that whole scene and I have a thing to say a game made for children's can be in the future for teens more for his history that characters
But she provoked him..
@@chrisballesteros6181 He killed her brother tho . . . and he didn't kill her, only broke the ride armor she was using at most. She died because her circuits got fried or something due to the crystal she used
Zero: Goodbye, X... Also Zero: I hid myself while I tried to repair myself.
Capcom:we are also going to return you in megaman zx,but you're going to die again as a biometal Zero:you're worse than all the mavericks gathered together
Capcom: No. Zero shall not die. Fans: :D Capcom: We will turn the X series into a cash cow, lock Inafune in the dungeon and continue making more and series with flat plots until people forget about our beloved Blue Bomber Fans: What Inafune: What Zero: What
X7 and X8 arent canon btw rejoice.

yup

***** :D
***** ZERO
well keiji inafune did want him to steal all of the good scenes from megaman x.
I saw this when I was 8 and I just could not stop crying...
me too
i played this and won few moments ago.i didn't cried cause well i'm 17 years old but was a really sad moment. especially because zero is my favourite
+Jak the Devilhedhehog just stop I know this cutsaese is emotional but I'm just tired that people keep on saying that
+Donovin perez you not have sentiments
It traumatized me at the age of 6
Zero: Finally I´m going to die.. for the second time.. of four..
1 like to come to Zero’s Funeral
Dad: "Why are crying so damn loud?"
This is so emotional and epic at the same time. Zero's realizes who his father is just before he dies, but he never even got to talk to him. Too bad Capcom had to ruin in with X6, X7, and X8.
As much as I enjoyed the games which came after X5, I have to admit the narrative worsened after X5. It should've ended with X5.
Inafune wanted to end the series with Zero duology in X4 and X5 and then continue the series with Zero series. Too bad Capcom rushed X6 without Inafune since the game itself was created less than a year.
Am I the only one who wonders how Zero got like that? If you play as Zero, I can understand, Sigma catches Zero in his explosion, but if you play as X, and Zero's not there, how does this happen?
+Bladecrossexe I think we're meant to assume that canonically, both X and Zero were present here. Kind of like in X7 and X8's endings where X, Zero, and Axl are all present. It'd also explain why they're both even there in the first place. I think it's also safe to assume in the canon that the reason X survived Sigma's explosion is because it only damaged/destroyed the armor he was wearing, and didn't affect his natural armor underneath. It'd also explain why/how the Falcon Armor is damaged in X6, and you don't have the Ultimate/Gaea armors.
The Plane crash(with Zero as the pilot) as long as the space station with it in to earth.The expode turn the planet into a barren.Zero got infect by virus and fighting with X.After the fighter was over.Zero wake up while X was still in a coma.Sigma got there just in time to get fck up by Zero.Ending.
Zero: “Welp... time for my monthly explosion” **Self destructs**
@@Phoenixrising2055 Zero didn't go maverick in canon story of X5. It was confirm with X6 intro.
@@Phoenixrising2055 ...what the fuck are you even saying?
I am sure you're not the only one. The music just fits perfect in the sad scene. And then the fact that Zero discovers he's a maverick makes it all abit more sad. And then you also have the flashback of Iris who dies, which is the saddest scene in X4. So yea, i'm not surprized some tears would flow. ^^
A creature from 2017 who watches anime almost everyday, here. I came to say, more than ten years have passed, X5 ending is by far my favorite ...
I'm not even a fan of the Megaman series but this is still pretty sad.
StarCrew Creations he doesnt die permanently in this scene, however if you go to megaman zero 4, he dies.
HOW DARE U?! I HAVE MADE IT MY LIFE-LONG DREAM TO BRING ZERO TO LIFE! SUCK ON THAT CAPCOM!!!!
+Yu Ri Well, he kinda lives on in the form of Biometal Model Z...
This ending is great! It ties a lot of stuff together plot wise. I like they show Dr. Wily and Iris.
I’ll never ever forget this ending. The music really enhances the emotions. And damn Iris is the last thing he sees. Please shut these faucets off man. 😭
DAMMM i hope nintendo puts ZERO in smash bros. or take the Megaman Rights from Capcom, because they will sure give Megaman justice!
They COULD be trying. And the 3DS E-shop (if it's still going this way) They had a villain take over. All but one villain is a Nintendo Original, that one who isn't, Dr. Wily. That or it's just the classic Megaman games sell like hot cakes...Probably the second one but heck. A guy can dream!
***** Hey, I think they could do the IP justice, Plus if they made like Megaman Legends on the Wii U I'm sure that would sell a few more Wii Us. If Inafune can't get the writes to Megaman, Nintendo is my 2nd choice
Nah, Sentai Filmworks should have ownership of Megaman.
ehm he is in the last marvel vs capcom i think^^
nintendo are true megaman fans and zero killed the megaman series so they would never put him in smash.
This part always made me cry when I was a kid. The music along with what happened fit well.
//This is one of the reasons why X5 is my favourite Mega Man X game... and why Zero is my favourite fictional character...
You're really overrating Zero as a character...
@@philithegamer8265 so who is better? your shitty OC or something?
This music makes you grieve for poor Zero...
this music is so sad
I've heard sadder, like Emotion from Pokemon Black And White.
ok got it
i also said that a year ago
it makes me cry each time when I saw 😭😭😭😭💔💔💔💔his real pure love for x as his only truthful friend ...i love the friendship between them..zero..you are my favourite love forever 😭😭😭😭😭❤❤❤❤❤love you sooo much
Come to think of it, Rockman series still end up with Rock dealing with Wily's shenanigans. X series (supposed to end with X5) end up with gruesome depictions. First time I finished this game in PSX, I thought, "HOLY HELL THIS IS BRUTAL!". (Although X got repaired afterwards) Even Zero series is ended by only showing Zero's helmet and nothing else.
(continued) Also, the scene at 1:25 is from a battle that took place in a flashback sequence in MMX4, and Iris, the girl at 2:52, was his friend, also from X4. He had to take her out.
This is fr memories 😭😭😭💯
@ZuIu2012 Actually if you got to certain Light Capsules in MMX6 with Zero he mentions that he doesn't know who repaired him, the implication that I got was that like Light Wily is now some sort of sentient hologram and that he was the one who fixed Zero up after all Wily would not have his greatest creation out done by Light.
Zero needs a break, srsly. How many times does this guy have to get half his body blown off, lose people he cares about, hijacked and forced to fight his friends, wrestle with his old violent programming and identity... and with no real consolation. Is the series creator depressed or something?😅
@icerink239 He died in X1 to help X battle Vile, in X3 he got heavily damaged, in X5 is in this video, and he dies in MMZ4 by beating Weil and being destroyed along with Ragnarok. So that makes 3 times, though people call his accident in X3 also as a death. The point is, he dies too often :P
An excellent end to an excellent series. When Zero truly dies, and that's the end, there's just so much emotion. This paired with his relations with other characters like Iris in X4 really help build his personality. That's why Zero's such a great character. It's also one of the main reasons I dislike the series past this point. "Oh, Zero's fine. And Sigma's still alive." Because of X6, it's like the entire events of X5 didn't matter - like they weren't important... And I think that's a shame.
@GozetaGX I don't really consider x6-x8 part of the series... Zero was supposed to be dead (totally) at this point, since the MMZ series came after x5, is when his memories start coming back
@burpethead In X3, Zero gave his saber to X, not his buster. In X1 he gave his buster if you didn't get the Light capsule for the buster, but that got somehow fixed.
zero si estas escuchando este mensaje simboliza que nunca te olvidaremos ni a ti ni a iris. descansa en paz con el amor de tu vida, que es iris. hasta el proximo "megaman X" zero
@burpethead also if you chose zero in the character select screen you'll be able to use the z buster.
This scene with the song was really sad and tough to me when i was young. Thats because Zero was born as bad by the evil hand of wily but did good and sacrificed for megaman and peace. It made me cry especially when the memory of Iris came out ;( even the ending song coming out right next to this scene makes it super depressing. Still, this is a good game tho.
Well, Dash/Legends was produced during X4 and X5, it featured X's utopia as Eden (unseen ingame). DASH 2 changed it into Heaven (seen ingame). Z feature this as Neo Arcadia, which X ruled. But, Neo Arcadia is only the start. Ciel (french for "sky", dimunitive of "heaven") looks like the Master and Roll, add in Girouette and things started look integrated. ZX even furthers it.
@morbentfel They wanted a very very fast turnaround with making this game. This was supposed to be the final MMX game in the series, and Mega Man Zero was supposed to be them reviving that 'corpse' of Zero to fight X, who went mad when either the virus took him over, or because Zero died for good, ergo all reploids who argue with humans must be maverick.
What a fitting end.
@UltramanGaria Well the original creator of Megaman X actually intended the story to end in Megaman X5, but another creator wanted to continue the story. I forgot there names, but you could look it up.That's why the plot in Megaman X6 is a bit odd from the rest.
Zero... man, from the very minute he was conceived in Wily's lab his life was going to be an unhappy one.
(begins sobbing uncontrollably)
@lollimonier He knew he had to die in order to restore peace because he realized he was a maverick all along,the start of all chaos traces back to him. He's the 1st maverick,wasn't infected,but created-The original,The Legendary Red Maverick.Not only his death may bring end of the maverick war,it will also relief him from the guilt of the murder of his beloved Iris. To me,Zero is more likely Kenshin Himura from Samurai X.Burdened by his own past & guilt...
I'm still crying
I am anxious to know how the old games connect with the X games, I mean, with Megaman 10 comming up, something of about THIS has to be said somewhere on the storyline. By the way, I agree with what you said, that being who create who.
Rest in peace Zero until one hundred years because you will wake up in a new era
@fzeromaster i was referring to model z's flashing then dissapearance
On my previous comment, I meant to say X5 near the end, not X6. It would all have made decent sense if X ended here, followed by Zero series. Since I got totally lost about the story from then on in and nothing beyond X5 made much significance... But then again, some stuff from later X games were pretty interesting. Still, I'd say that the essential is X1 through 5. 6 was a challenge and 7 was very mixed, but X8 was very good. Command Mission had nice characters too.
@XXCo0olDudeXX Originally, it was supposed to end here. Capcom made X5 without Keiji Inafune's involvement, who intented this to be the end of X and to be connected directly to the beginning of Megaman Zero series. I've read that X6 made a big discrepancy within the canon Keiji imagined, but he edited some of Megaman Zero story to compensate. I don't know the details tho.
i played all parts and endings are some emotional they almost make me cry
@TheValiantBob I'm suprised he didn't get killed off in his endings for Marvel Vs. Capcom 3 and Tatsunoko Vs. Capcom ROFL
Indeed,the old virus (zero virus) was never fully removed from zero. And the part on a reploids head is something like the eye, something vulnerable.
@Luxai The robots of the X series are not part human. They are machines with the capacity to grow and learn and go beyond their initial programming, making them human-like, but they are not in any way made of human parts.
Zero... Is so... Awesome
When he pictures Iris is when it really hits. Just thinking that he will wake up from that state of creation and perform his greatest sin; the killing of the original Mega Man, is so depressing. As much as I like the fact that he would come back in X6, that is not what the creator intended and always leaves me feeling that this is the true ending to a very tragic tale.
0:28 IMMA CHARGIN MAH LAZER!!!!!
OK, Let me try to clear up some of the confusion of Zero's story with fragments of facts I've picked up. Originally, Kenji Inafune was going to end the X series at X5 and continue the story with MMZ. The story was that the place that Ciel found Zero is exactly where he fell and that it IS the Original Zero.. Note that the damage he took in X5 and the damage shown in MMZ is nearly Identical. However, X6 was made without his knowledge while he was on other projects and had to alter the story.
I never cared about Zero until X4 when they started fleshing him out. Then he became my favorite character in the X series. When this scene hit me I was so sad.
actually if you look near the lens flare(shiny thing on the right) you can see a sillhouette of someone and they're holding the z-saber so he might be alive
Man I miss these good old days 😭
@UmbraMooh How if Wily didn't know X existed, he was focused on the original Megaman wasn't he? :S (in fact isn't that one of the rumors circulating that the original Megaman was eventually killed by Zero?)
after x8 will the X series still continue probably then comes the elf wars which takes place between the maverick wars and the zero series.then starts actually the zero series
@Dracula9AntiChapel Actually Weil's name is a mistranslation his original name is Vile but since that name was already used in the MMX series that changed it slightly, actually if you pronounce weils name with a German accent it sounds like vile. Also the current and most popular theory on the Wily is still alive is the whole thing with Isoc just look at all the videos that he and Zero is in and you will see that Isoc becomes really happy when Zero does things that X couldn't.
@DsKARteam im positive capcom wont fail to make another X game. and MX8 ending pretty much leads us on, Axl gets secretly infected with something so he will be making some changes soon.
@legionofpie -pats him on the shoulder- I know....I know.
@Manolo2k Funny thing... that's exactly what this game is... the real ending to the X Series. This was supposed to be the entire end for Mega Man X but then Capcom Decided to make Mega Man X6 without Keiji Inafune's consent... and it ended up screwing with the timeline... Megaman X1 -X5 - Megaman Zero 1-4 - Megaman ZX- Advent.
i remember the first ime i palyed thiz game i waz 11 years old i passed it with megaman and i got sad becuse zero died and stuff to me thiz game out of all had the most drama and action . i felt sadness just seeing that zero died and then the ending song is even sadder and at the end i was like dam. i miss palying thiz game
When I was just a lad in middle school, about 1995-96, I actually had a cryptic premonition of this event. I was given a timeframe of 77 months (or 6y, 5mo) from that point. It actually ended up being more like about 5 years more or less. This was a great ending though I was depressed because it meant Zero was gone. In retrospect, while I think X6 screwed this game's canon up, it did hint at wily with the shell of isoc, add to the mystery of Zero, and shoot towards the MMZ series.
if i remember in x6 zero went to sleep in a capsule for many years for restore himself and in megaman zero he is found in a capsule so maybe capcom tried to unite the story from x6 to zero series........but x 5 is the end in the manga after all
Well, like I said, that was the original intent of the story that Capcom threw a monkey wrench in with X6.Omega, Veil, and all of that stuff wasn't really thought up yet when Kenji was working on MMZ. The series became popular, so Inafune decided to work on some of the plot holes in the later games. Zero's copy body was shattered when he and X did a combined attack called "Final Strike" on Omega during the elf wars and Zero sealed himself in a similar fashion to X6. This is from the audio drama.
To me, this is where the story should have, and did end. The later games were fun, but the story all but went flat.
That was actually the intention of Kenji Inafune. He wanted X5 to be the end of the X series, hence the finality of almost all the endings. The Zero series was intended to come after, which is one reason why I thin kthat X's bad ending is the canon ending (he dreams of building a utopia where humans and reploids live in harmony, which coincides with Megaman Zero's X ruling over a massive city).
Exactly my thoughts on this game. I love the X series so much and this scene is one of the most memorable in my gaming career due to what it represented. I think any fan of the series knew that this had to happen eventually. Peace cannot exist as long as Zero is alive. He was the center of conflict that everyone struggled for because his body was so much more advanced than any other being in the story. Zero knew that he had to be gone for the world to have a chance at peace and that's why he let the Sigma explosion kill him. It was the only way that he could protect X. That's what makes this scene so powerful. Dr. Wily's creations are made for the sole purpose to destroy Dr. Light's creations and in giving his life it was like Zero defied his programming to do what he thought was right. When I was 12 and watching this for the first time I was fighting like hell to hold back the tears. Although I knew it would happen eventually, NOTHING could possibly prepare you for this. Zero has since remained my favorite character in gaming. RIP Zero. You will not be forgotten.
champjr36 zero zero zero! have you ever wondered why was there so much focus on zero when the name of the games are called MEGAMAN X!? keiji inafune the asshole who has been working on megaman longer than anyone else at capcom wanted zero to steal all of the good scenes from megaman. the reason why is because capcom rejected his design for megaman x and I don't blame them. keiji wanted megaman x to be red with a spikey helmet and fights with a sword instead of a arm cannon! so keiji decided to spit in the face of every megaman fan by ruining megaman and forcing people to like zero!
but if the story ended here keiji inafune would have made megaman be the main villain in his own games and if that had happened i debut that megaman would have lasted as long as it did. but if you're a zero fan maybe you wouldn't have cared.
+rockmenx8xx F**k you a*****e !!
@PedroPaulo744 Ironic, since Zero was originally intended to be Megaman X, they just changed it at the last minute.
That could be possible, I couldnt record the original sound from the game, so i overlayed it with a song from a gamerip.
@UmbraMooh Well remember in I think Power Battle or Power Fighters, Bass sees Zero already finished, just not activated and Wily says it's his greatest creation or something like that, which would imply he's still focused on destroying Megaman, and my point is still that Wily didn't know Megaman X was being created so why would Zero have been created to destroy a robot he knows nothing about? @.@
One of the most badass characters of all time. A fucking trauma when i saw him die the first time
How is Zero badass?
the Iris part fucked me up so much as a kid, and now it hits harder now after going through a breakup...
Dro... Drop dead... got to say, that was one hell of a badass line :)
I remember watching this when I finally kicked Sigma's ass, I was finally convinced that Wily had indeed created Zero, and seeing Iris in his memories, and that he had to die to restore the peace. I cried while watching the ending, that shows, how much I loved the MMX series, if you look at the ending credits when it says, "Thanks for playing" you can see that X survived and holds Zero's Lightsaber! But I was glad that Zero came back in MMX6, boy was I glad! :)
Hang in there BUDDY!
@prjibaro1 This is explained badly by the manuals and games, but the basic gist of it is this: Zero figures out his origins in this scene, and in such learns that he was the original robot to carry the virus Reploids are machines copied off of X's design. The virus was to infect and destroy X. Since reploids are based off of X, the virus effects them too. The virus was expelled from Zero's body in the fight with Sigma before X1, but Zero thinks he is the sole carrier, and so must die for peace.
Well, they most probably live regular lives till the end. After all, they're based on the Tetsuwan Atom series, which had pretty much static story with some dramatic scenes here and there (like dash). Not unlike the Gundam based X series with its extreme melodrama. How many space colonies one need to drop to satify one's hunger for drama?
even in his own gam he (almost) died! on Megaman Zero 4 after defeating Wail you'll see that Zero has fallen along with ragnarok, but soon after Ciel's last word you can see his helmet and a figure standing in front of the sun
This is the robot death that tore me up when I first saw this, I was like😭😭😭 but then I said to myself, he's a robot he be rebuilt that's why I didn't get too sad.
when I heard this song combine with seeing X destroyed I really friggin' cried.
I cried when I saw this....literally, I really DID cry.
I want it as well,but who is goin to make the anime?I doubt capcom will put time nor money in such a project...
Successfully take down the space colony with either the Enigma or the space shuttle (by beating the boss mavericks with little to no continues when collecting parts) and finish off Sigma as Zero. You can change the ending after destroying the space shuttle by beating Sigma as X.
@UltramanGaria Money. :D Apparently X5 was supposed to end the X series originally.
actually CM happened before X8 since in CM axl was searching for his origin story and in X8 he knows he's a prototype model for the new generations that has the copy ability.
That's ok. Tysvfm for uploading this.
such great music
I wish that would be a Typo, but nope, CM occurs years later. For Zero's sagas time line, is never mentioned the events from X7, X8 and CM
For a old game its still damn depression and sad
In X6 zeros ending is where he has himself sealed away for 100 years, the elf wars happen during that time where zero is sealed away.
Zero... I don't believe it... you were the most awesome, and most bad ass hero of all time... you were cool... and now... you can Rest In Peace. T_T
axl is an x bounty hunter or something along those lines. when his boss goes loco, he teams up with x and zero. and np ^^
@foxchild I thought he was supposed to destroy the original Megaman, not X :S
