This article is about the NetNavi Roll.EXE. For her anime counterpart, see Roll.EXE (anime). For other uses, see Roll (disambiguation).

"I get the feeling that you don't respect me, so I thought I'd give you a taste of just what I can do!"

―Roll.EXE, Mega Man Battle Network 4

Roll.EXE (ロール.ＥＸＥ, Rōru Eguze) is the NetNavi operated by Mayl Sakurai. She is a main character in the Mega Man Battle Network series. While a healer Navi more than a NetBattling Navi, she has shown of being capable of holding her own in fights when needed. Roll is also said to be MegaMan.EXE’s girlfriend.

Appearance

Among all the characters in the Mega Man Battle Network series, Roll has some of the strongest deviations from her classic counterpart. Like MegaMan.EXE and ProtoMan.EXE, Roll's armor is a lightweight bodysuit-type, with a mixture of the colors pink, red, and black highlighting different parts of her body. Attached to her helmet is a pair of transparent, ribbon-like antennae (shaped like American/Japan electric socket plugs) that curve behind her; when considered together with the button attached to her backside, they give her a vaguely bunny-like appearance.

Like her original, Roll has a blonde ponytail tied with a green ribbon, but, in keeping with the aesthetic of the Mega Man Battle Network universe, this hairstyle is sharp and geometric. She is the same height as MegaMan, standing at 148 virtual centimeters (roughly 4'9").

Relationships

• Mayl Sakurai - Roll's operator and friend. They have a close friendship and each is always there when the other needs her.
• MegaMan.EXE - Roll and MegaMan share a closer bond, and she affectionately calls him the nickname "Mega" ("Rock" in Japanese). Because she is a non-combatant, she mainly supports him through the use of her healing abilities and her Navi Chip (usually when Mayl gives a copy to Lan). He comes to care about Roll, but also comes to view her as someone to be protected; this causes her to take offense at one point when it seemed to her that he thought little of her strength. But they were able to clear this out by Roll demonstrating her battle abilities. MegaMan showed the most interest on her in the new scenario of Rockman.EXE Operate Shooting Star, where he was desperate to save her, and after finding her, he was too distracted to answer Lan's call.

History

Roll is a supporting character in the Mega Man Battle Network series. She rarely fights, but often talks to MegaMan, offering many pointers and helpful suggestions. Roll assists MegaMan whenever she can and is always there to support him, no matter what the consequences.

She is the only Navi whose Navi Chips appeared in all six games; usually Lan receives them from Mayl at different parts of the story, but in Battle Network 4 Roll's Navi chips must be earned in combat. In any game, Roll has a maximum of three Navi chips, even in Battle Network 3, where every other Navi had a V4 and V5 chip. In the fourth game, Roll is a boss character that is randomly encountered in the second tournament. After her defeat, she gives MegaMan a new Double Soul. There are two games where her chips aren't listed with "V2" and "V3": Battle Network 4 and Battle Network 5, where she has "SP" and "DS" chips. She regained the V2 and 3 chips in the sixth game, where EX and SP chips were used.

Mega Man Battle Network

Roll primarily plays the role of MegaMan's friend. However, during the bus hijacking incident, MegaMan must rescue Roll from ColorMan, who was on the runaway bus Mayl was trapped in. Roll also assists MegaMan with the infiltration of the WWW (World Three) hideout.

In the remake, Roll, along with Harp Note, is kidnapped by ClockMan, a NetNavi from the future who likes to collect beautiful women from different time periods.

Mega Man Battle Network 2

Roll is rarely involved in the story until the world environmental system crisis, when Roll is trapped due to FreezeMan's ice and needs to be rescued by MegaMan. There is also a copy of herself created by Gospel, but the real Roll defeats this copy.

Mega Man Battle Network 3

Mayl enters Roll into the N1 Grand Prix, but Roll loses during the preliminary battles. Roll doesn't do much else in this game, although a band of thug Navis try to trick Lan and MegaMan by sending a fake distress mail from Roll.

Mega Man Battle Network 4

Roll finds herself once again in distress, this time being kidnapped by ShadeMan. MegaMan tracks them down to the radio tower and saves her. Later on, Roll turned up as a competitor against MegaMan in the Eagle Tournament. Before they battle, however, Roll is kidnapped by a stalker Navi who is in love with her. After being rescued by MegaMan, she makes MegaMan try to capture her in a game of tag to prove she's not entirely helpless. Afterwards, the two battle, but Roll loses to MegaMan.

Mega Man Battle Network 5 and 6

Roll hardly has any involvement in either installment; in the former game Mayl loses her when her PET is stolen by Nebula, and in the latter Lan moves away. However, she still has a strong role in battle chips and sidequests.

In the ending of Mega Man Battle Network 6, it is revealed Roll's Operator, Mayl, marries Lan. And in turn she has her data mixed with MegaMan taking her best qualities and MegaMan's as well to create MegaMan Jr.

Other appearances

Roll also has a number of appearances in other side-games, and is playable in both Mega Man Battle Chip Challenge and Rockman.EXE 4.5 Real Operation. In Mega Man Network Transmission, Roll only appears a couple of times to offer MegaMan advice.

Anime

Roll in the anime.

In the anime, Roll is more bold and willing to take action more often. Unlike the games, she openly shows a romantic affection for MegaMan, even becoming jealous when other Navi girls become close to him. Also unlike the games, she refers to MegaMan as his full name and not Mega.

Roll shows off her battle prowess more often, fighting alongside MegaMan. Early on she favors using Aqua virus chip (Aqua Tower, Triple Lance) and Wind chips (Typhoon, Cyclone). Later on she uses a wide variation of chips, even using the Giga Cannon Program Advance. She uses Heart Flash as her signature attack, but relies more on her Roll Arrow in later seasons.

Abilities

Roll's Navi Mark

Roll has quite a few abilities at her disposal that make her a formidable foe (and a useful ally).

• Roll has a special teleport technique. Roll will perform a spin, turning her body into shining dust, teleporting to different locations. She becomes immune to attacks while performing this spin, allowing her to dodge enemy attacks.
  • Sometimes after doing this spin, she'll summon viruses using the shining dust. She can perform this move more than once, allowing her to summon up to 2 viruses to overwhelm the opponent. Defeating Roll will also delete any remaining viruses in the battle.
• Heart Flash (ハートフラッシュ, Hāto Furasshu)/Rollflash (ロールフラッシュ, Rōru Furasshu, Roll Flash):
  Roll's signature attack, applied to her chips as well. She will zoom in front of the targeted enemy and attack the foe with her head-attachments. In first and second Mega Man Battle Network, she 'stabs' the enemy, while in later games, she swings her antenna like blades. Roll's Chip also lets the user regain some HP.
  • In the first Mega Man Battle Network, Roll uses Rollflash to help MegaMan final dungeon. When there are no more batteries to be used to create a path, she uses whips to blast pink sparkles to create a panel that can be walked over.
  • In the anime, Heart Flash has Roll blow a kiss, where she then launches several pointy hearts. This is called Roll Blast in the NT Warrior English dub.
  • Roll Control (anime only) - Roll releases a heart that enters the target, making it obey her. (In the original Japanese, this is a variant on her signature "Heart Flash"), which temporarily causes ColorMan's clones to turn against ColorMan himself. This attack is never again used in the series.
• Roll Whip (ロールウィップ, Rōru Wippu):
  Introduced in Battle Network 4, a variation of the Heart Flash attack except it only deals damage and doesn't recover the user.
• Roll Arrow (ロールアロー, Rōru Arō):
  Roll's long range attack introduced in Battle Network 4. She will create a bow, and fire an arrow with a heart motif. This arrow, while slow (compared to other attacks) and not very powerful, has the ability to also destroy enemy battle chips.
• Roll Charm (ロールチャーム, Rōru Chāmu):
  Cutscene only . Roll radiates a pink flash and the surrounding viruses are charmed and will now follow her commands.
• Barrier (バリア, Baria):
  In Rockman.EXE 4.5, Roll has the First Barrier program equipped, letting her start battles with 10 HP Barrier. One of her charge shots also lets her create a Barrier.

Trivia

• Roll's name is a play on the "Rock and Roll" genre of music.
• Roll is the only female Navi to change outfits in the anime.
• In the games, Roll calls MegaMan by the nickname, "Mega" (Rock in Japan). However, this nickname doesn't seem to carry to other media and she just call him "MegaMan" like everyone else.
• In the anime Roll, seems to get along well with viruses. Her appearance under the spell of the Twisted Chip features her commanding viruses to attack MegaMan; in Battle Network 4, she gained the ability to summon and manipulate viruses in battle once again. Director Masahiro Yasuma has stated her ability in the game is directly influenced by the anime .
• Mega Man Star Force 2 revealed in Lan's diaries (obtained through side quests) that Roll and MegaMan have their own child, MegaMan Junior, who is the Navi of Lan's son, Patch.
• Despite her chip having recovery properties, Roll herself does not have the ability to heal herself during her boss battle. She can heal herself, however, in the Battle Chip Grand Prix; she restores 50 HP (of 400 total) at the end of every turn in which she attacks.
• Despite the fact that her classic counterpart is Mega Man's sister, Roll.EXE is sometimes romantically involved with MegaMan.EXE. This is also true of Roll Caskett, Roll's counterpart in the Legends series.
