"My name is Rockman Shadow! I am a robot of great power. I will not tolerate anyone who disobeys me!"
―Rockman Shadow, Rockman & Forte: Mirai Kara no Chōsensha

Rockman Shadow (ロックマン・シャドウ Rokkuman Shadou), also known as R-Shadow, is the main antagonist of Rockman & Forte: Mirai Kara no Chōsensha. He is the mysterious leader of a group of robots called the Dimensions and is said to be a powerful robot, holding an obsession with causing chaos and destruction, though his true intentions are unknown.

Story[]

Rockman Shadow and the Dimensions are first seen attacking Symphony City, a city where people and robots lived in peace. Rockman took off to the scene, and at the same time Dr. Wily sends Forte to investigate. Because of the circumstances, the two team up to fight against Rockman Shadow and the Dimensions.

Rockman Shadow and the Dimensions attack Symphony City

After defeating the Dimensions, Rockman and Forte confront Rockman Shadow in a duel to the death. Rockman Shadow reveals that he came from the future, and briefly tells them about Quint, a remodeled Rockman from the future who was previously defeated. During Rockman's storyline, he claims to be another modified version of Rockman from the future, and says that he came back in time to stop Dr. Wily by destroying all robots at an earlier point. However, in Forte's storyline, he instead claims that he was the other Quint created at that time, and asks Forte to join him and prove to the world that they are the strongest force imaginable. While Rockman discovers afterward that R-Shadow's motive is a lie, Forte concludes that he was also made by Dr. Wily.

After being defeated, Rockman Shadow admits that he was a failed prototype of Quint created and ultimately abandoned by Dr. Wily. He states that he rebuilt himself to increase his strength, and devastated the world in his time. As nothing in the future could stop his rampage, he traveled back in time to find someone that could put an end to him: the strongest challengers, Rockman and Forte. With his dying breath, he gives the victor words of advice and soon after dies.

Rockman Shadow in the game's ending

While the game depicts his "death" and burial after his defeat at the hands of Rockman or Forte, he is shown in a photograph with the main cast in the end. Whether this picture was just to represent the cast of the game or if it is part of the game's story is unknown.

Strategy[]

Rockman Shadow fights by jumping to the middle of the room and then sliding (like Rockman) to the other side. If the player is next to or try jumping over him, he will shoot a fast-moving laser that just goes off the screen. After half of his HP is gone, he will disappear and appear above the player on a robot like Sakugarne and dive down at the player, sitting on the floor before repeating. Between the dives four rocks will come down to hit the player. When he loses ¾ of his HP, he begins to fly at the player with a sword. When he swings and stops moving, 3 sparks fan off forward and backward from him.

Mega Man Shadow

"Mega Man's shadow" in issue #20

While Capcom notified writer Ian Flynn that he may not use any aspects from Rockman & Forte: Mirai Kara no Chōsensha in the Archie Mega Man comic series,[1] Rockman Shadow is referenced in the time travels from issue 20. In a time after the events from Mega Man & Bass, an unknown robot that Mega Man believes to be the same robot from a previous time claims that he will no longer live in "Mega Man's shadow," hinting their connection.

Trivia[]

  • Rockman Shadow is depicted as having a green body, same as Quint, in both the Archie Comics and his artwork. In the game however, Rockman and Forte point out that his armor is black.
  • CoroCoro Comic once featured official artwork of Rockman Shadow and Dangan Man in an article of Rockman & Forte: Mirai Kara no Chōsensha.[2]
  • Rockman Shadow is the second robot that Mega Man buries, the first one being Quick Man after sacrificing himself to save Mega Man in Super Adventure Rockman.
  • Rockman Shadow's stage theme is recycled from the first two King Castle stages.
