Mega Man Battle Network Incarnation

  • Mr. Match (火野ケンイチ Hino Ken'ichi) - He is the operator of FireMan, HeatMan, and FlameMan, and appears in every game except for Battle Network 5. In Battle Network, he operates FireMan and fills the Hikari family's oven with viruses. In Battle Network 2, Match is not affiliated with Gospel, but instead lets Lan battle HeatMan at any time. In Battle Network 3, he rejoins WWW and operates FlameMan; he tricks Lan into installing several programs that raises SciLab's temperature to extreme levels. Match makes a cameo in BurnMan's scenario in Battle Network 4, and FireMan is a potential opponent in the Red Sun version of the game. In FireMan's scenario, Match plans to destroy DenDome but changes his mind when he notices a female hotdog stand owner that came to cheer for him. Finally, Match appears with HeatMan in Battle Network 6, where he is a college student that becomes one of Lan's teachers. In the anime, HeatMan was created by Mr. Famous from FireMan's data when FireMan was facing deletion at the hands of FreezeMan, and FireMan's was re-created from HeatMan when he was facing deletion at the hands of PlantMan. In the English anime he has a Scottish accent.
  • Mr. Higsby (known as Yamitarō Higure (日暮 闇太郎, Higure Yamitarō?) in the Japanese version) - He is a collector of rare Battle Chips who owns his own chip shop, "Higsby's" (Higure-ya (日暮屋?)). His NetNavi, NumberMan.EXE (ナンバーマン Nanbāman), operates a similar chip shop from the cyberworld in the anime. Originally, Higsby locks down Lan's school as part of a WWW operation in the games, or as a way to steal rare chips from Yai in the anime, but Lan manages to show Higsby the error of his ways. Higsby generally remains a background character from then on, but plays a more active role in Battle Network 4: Blue Moon, where his shop is in danger of foreclosure, and in Battle Network 5: Team Colonel as a member of the eponymous team. In the anime, Higsby has a crush on Ms. Mari, and sees Maysa and Commander Beef as rivals for her affection; this fact is also briefly mentioned in Battle Network 5.

She was the mastermind behind an incident where the traffic signals in the city were altered as to cause accidents. In the anime, she has a brief stint with Gospel, but found friendship with her fellow WWW operators. WackoMan was found in the TV series. WackoMan duplicates himself and tries to act strong, while he is a coward.

His fate is revealed in Battle Chip Challenge, where he has quit his life of crime to help support his village in the nation of Edina. that In the anime, he is considered to be the world's foremost authority on curry, and uses the profits from his curry shop (which Lan frequents) to fund the WWW's operations. Later on, he trains Dex to be a curry chef.

Famous quotes containing the words man, battle and/or incarnation:

    The man of sensibility is too busy talking about his feelings to have time for good deeds.
    Mason Cooley (b. 1927)

    Each reaching and aspiration is an instinct with which all nature consists and cöoperates, and therefore it is not in vain. But alas! each relaxing and desperation is an instinct too. To be active, well, happy, implies courage. To be ready to fight in a duel or a battle implies desperation, or that you hold your life cheap.
    Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)

    All men, in the abstract, are just and good; what hinders them, in the particular, is, the momentary predominance of the finite and individual over the general truth. The condition of our incarnation in a private self, seems to be, a perpetual tendency to prefer the private law, to obey the private impulse, to the exclusion of the law of the universal being.
    Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
