History[]
Mega Man Battle Network 5: Team ProtoMan[]
Charlie and GyroMan appeared in Mega Man Battle Network 5: Team ProtoMan. Charlie meets Lan Hikari after he returns from the Oran Island. He mentions that he knows something about why Nebula kidnapped Dr. Hikari (Lan's father) and challenges Lan to find GyroMan, who is hidden inside the Squirrel Computer in the ACDC Town park. Later on Lan and MegaMan challenges and defeats GyroMan. Charlie tells Lan that it was another test of Lan's skill, and both he and GyroMan joins Team ProtoMan.
Later on, when Nebula takes over the Net with their Micro Servers, GyroMan fights MegaMan a second time inside Gargoyle Computer 3. Afterwards it is revealed that GyroMan was unaffected by the server, and Charlie explains that he wanted to have a rematch with Lan and MegaMan, since it might be his last chance to fight them before the battle with Nebula.
At Nebula's hideout, MegaMan and GyroMan infiltrate Factory Computer 2. As MegaMan prepares to fight ShadeMan, he summons a vortex to the Dark Galaxy, which sucks GyroMan in. Angered at the loss, MegaMan fights and deletes ShadeMan a second time. When MegaMan proceeds to fight Nebula Gray, GyroMan and the other Team ProtoMan Navis reappear from the Dark Galaxy and helps MegaMan advance.

Double Soul[]
Gyro Soul[]
After the completion of Liberation Mission 3, MegaMan receives the Gyro Soul, however, it cannot be used until later, as MegaMan is captured by Nebula after the mission. The form is activated by sacrificing a Wind-type chip. This ability gives MegaMan the effects of the Customizer Programs Air Shoes and Float Shoes, which cancels the effects of holes and negative panel effects respectively. It also gives MegaMan's charge shot the same effect of GyroMan's Tornado Arm attack. After using a Wind Chip in this form the propeller on his back begins to spin.
In the anime, Rockman gets the Gyro Soul in episode 10 of the Stream season, and it is the only new soul to be received since the start of Stream.
Gyro Chaos[]
Sacrificing the Dark Tornado Dark Chip activates Gyro Chaos. It lets the Charge Shot launch the Dark Tornado Dark Chip, so long as the charge is not released when it is green.
