History[]
Mega Man Network Transmission[]
MegaMan battles SwordMan.
SwordMan appears as a boss guarding the way to the Life Virus. He defeated ProtoMan before MegaMan arrives. After MegaMan defeats SwordMan, he finds the LnkCodeX mixed in with the pieces of SwordMan's data, allowing MegaMan to move closer to finding the Zero Virus.
Sliding under his Great Sword and Spiral Sword attacks are the best way to avoid them. For the Sword Press, the player will want to slide to get ahead of SwordMan's honing and then jump when he starts going down.
For defeating SwordMan, the player can earn either the Sonic Blade or the SwordMan Battle Chip.
Anime[]
SwordMan has three different incarnations in the anime, consisting as a Darkloid, an Asteroid, and a Zoanoroid.

- While the three different sword heads concept was unused in the game, it was heavily utilized in the anime. They each have different personalities and tone of speaking.
