You know, something just occurred to me. Both Doctors Light and Wily got their wishes granted in this moment. Light got his peace between humans and machines, and Wily... oh boy Wily... he finally... FINALLY... after all these years, built a robot that surpassed Light’s. If that’s not poetic I don’t know what is.

Realize that Zero's final act of heroism was going maverick.

Ladies and Gentlemen, I give you.... "Shit Goes Down: The Musical".

This fight alone is what turned Zero into one of my favorite video game heroes

...Chills. Every single time. What a way for the legend to end.

Joel:I have a saddest protagonist death in video games..... ZERO:Hold my z-saber

People often don't realize it, but Dr. Wily was actually okay with Zero's change of heart. It's elaborated on in some of the peripheral materials. He made peace with it, even took pride in what his creation had become toward the end of the Mega Man X series. At the end of the day, that's what Wily *truly* wanted. He started out wanting to create heroic robots, only going off the rails when circumstances aligned to completely screw him out of that dream. So while this may not be what Zero was built for, he did fulfill Wily's ultimate wish in the end.

The abrupt ending of the song coinciding with the revelation of Zero's broken helmet just... Holy shit. That hit hard.

this was the most epic and saddest moment in Megaman history.

Who the last evil robot master,turns into a hero? Zero. Who's the last Maverick Hunter? Zero. Who's the one who saved Human & Reploids when the evil scientist want to get his revenge by destroying world? Zero. got damn it got no words. LOVE U 0!

Zero: time to face destiny! Weil: time to face gravity!

if Capcom ever decided to remake this series in HD, I can see them using a piece like this. It's so epic, then again Capcom hasn't been that friendly with the Megaman franchise.

"I never cared about justice, and I don't recall ever calling myself a hero... I have always only fought for the people I believe in. I won't hesitate... If an enemy appears in front of me, I will destroy it!" Ciel... Believe in me! - Zero

11/10 boss not a floating head with two floating hands nor a body in the background with two hands attacking you

This track I really like, because it has the exited mood of a final boss track, but it has a somber tone, as Zero knows either way he will die. He isn’t fighting for his own survival, he’s fighting for the people he believes in.

"Godspeed, Edgeboy..."

I can't believe I'm saying this... ...this is MORE EPIC AND CLIMACTIC than Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time's final boss theme!

Like it was with Zero, I can’t help but picture this piece of music as accompanying any hero’s final stand against his/her greatest adversary (-ies). Especially when the hero fully knows that s/he *WILL* die in the process.

I think that it would have been a nice visual touch if Capcom had made Zero's hair constantly flailing upward during this battle. They are falling down, after all. (boooo hissss) Anyway... My absolute favorite song in the entire Mega Man franchise has been made even better.

I had no clue you could grapple onto Wiel's horn. That's 3-7 retrys wasted!

Zero,your achievements are admirable, you have done well to protect not only humans and Reploids alike, but even your closest friends and allies. Despite being built as a means to do evil,you override that and fought for the ones who believed in you and those you believed in, despite his evil intentions, I bet in the afterlife, Dr. Light would have thanked your creator,Dr. Wily for bring his dream of world peace closer and closer to reality. Zero,for all your accomplishments and your bravery,We salute you.

Some people say that he can be rebuild just cause his head part is in one piece.. You guys don't even pay attention, his crystal on the forehead is missing... So no, his data isn't on the helmet.. It is most likely destroyed.

If they ever get to remake Zero 4, they should pretty much make Zero turn around after delivering the finishing blow and send a thumbs up to the player (although I prefer the thought of sending that to earth, more specifically to certain young blonde haired girl.) before the explosion fill the screen. Easy words, his victory animation in Megaman X4.

The orchestral style fits Falling Down like a glove. This is my favourite rendition.

R.I.P. Zero (1993-2005)

Megaman Zero really needs an Anime series...

you have no idea... NO. IDEA.... how long I have waited for something like this, and you delivered with a bang. I salute you.

This is it the end to everything. The Elf War, the Maverick War, Willy, all of it ends here, with Willy’s final creation that was meant to destroy everything, saving everything.

"Now I truly know... what I am fighting for..."

The timer is a pain in the ass on hard mode

A machine who was created for destroy people and cities and in the final he saved the world in several times

The greatest climax in the history if Mega Man.

Zero had to answer two major life questions for himself, and it gloriously manifested his answers in his final moments. 1. Who am I? 2. What am I fighting for? 1. Who am I? - Zero lost his memory, and Weil tried to make him doubt who he even was. Was he the legendary hero Zero that Ciel talked about? Isn't he just a copy of some legendary hero? Was he just the end product of Dr. Wily's revenge and rage against Dr. Light? Was he just a virus for spreading death? Who is Zero? If Weil could make him believe he is not the true Zero or that he just a maverick, then he's already won. Zero loses his answers to #2, but this is his reply. "I don't recall ever calling myself a hero." To Zero, he realized, whether his body is a fake, whether others LABEL him as a maverick or hero, it didn't even matter. He was someone who fight to protect those who needed him and whom he believed in. Those who believed in him like Ciel. If he stopped fighting like Weil would have wanted, he would have denied himself and allowed Weil to destroy all those he cared about. No, regardless of Weil's twisted words (the term maverick had become twisted from a reploid who goes rogue and harms humans to someone who defies Neo Arcadia and humans, regardless of their intent, good or evil), it didn't matter what Weil called him. It only mattered what those who actually cared about him thought, the ones he wanted to protect. 2. What am I fighting for? - The words he uttered in his absolutely existential breakdown in X4 upon killing the girl he loved. X4 raised the question of "who is deemed a maverick"? Was what Repliforce fighting for maverick? Zero was a maverick hunter, his reason fighting was stop mavericks from harming others and humans. However when even Iris fought him in a desperate battle to stop him from hurting her brother, he started to question his own reason for living and fighting against obstacles. If fighting mavericks meant he had to harm someone he cared about, what was he fighting for in the first place? Wily had always intended for him to be a killing machine, spreading his virus, and taking his revenge on Light. Was that what he was fighting for? No. He started to believe that the only reason for him to live at the moment was to be shut away so he couldn't harm anyone else or be used for such purposes. Upon encountering Copy X, Omega, and Weil years later, it became clear that as long as he lives, despite what he thinks of himself, there are those who need him. Whether he is fighting to destroy mavericks or to save people, in the end, it isn't about labels. If he lost sense of who he was, then he had no reason to fight. Just give up. X and Ciel reminded him in the end, he is Zero, his heart, his determination, and his faith in others, is what really matters. Weil can label him a maverick all he wants by his false sense of justice because Zero can see right through his intentions at this point. In the end, forget Weil's justice. No more hesitating on this question. Weil is an enemy that threatens the existence of the world and his loved ones. He will destroy him. That is what makes him Zero.

It took me so long to realise that you could grab onto his horn :/

Rest In Peace Zero. One of my favorite fictional characters (second favorite) and the character who got me into Megs Man. You’ll never die you beautiful Maverick Hunter!

I think this is, hands down, the BEST remix of this song i have ever heard. Other remixes of it are really good too, but this one is just perfect. ❤ Really captures the feeling of the battle perfectly Side note, i really like that little flutter that the first slowish main section melody does every now and then (edit) I'd love if you'd make some more Mega Man remixes, though i can understand if you don't really do that anymore

After finishing the MMZ 1-2-3-4 Still this battle is worth to remember. And still this is the best megaman series I ever played.

I have this to owe for introducing me to Mega Man Zero.

This remix, the buildup, everything just GAVE ME CHILLS!!! FANTASTIC!!!

Literally falling down.

True story about this song, I had this in my ears when I was trying to keep a car cover from blowing away in a rainstorm. I forever will tie it to that LOL

holy sh*t this was a proper final battle

Good news for the people who are sad from this ending. Zero's data is in his helmet. And what part of his body was intact?

Zero Is one of the most FUCKING AWESOME CHARACTES EVER!! That speech alone Sold Him.

All these years and I never knew you could grab the horn, at least the music cheered me up. Awesome work.

An epic conclusion for the most epic of series, "Whenever an enemy appears in front of me, I will destroy it!"

beautiful game, got and beat all of them, Zero lives on!

This is a lot better than I ever remembered listening to it for the first time, DAMN.

The march drum beats adds so much to the epicness of your remix. Kudos!

Honestly drives me to tears. Every time. Particularly at 1:09.

man i loved your channel years ago but i lost it when i had to open a new channel and i just rediscovered it and i love it just as much as i did the first time

1:09 For those who want to jump right into it

This made me cry when it happened 😢

This theme is god.

I'm gonna be honest, seeing Zero and Ciel's last conversation still hurts...

That’s make my heart broken 😔💔

A nice touch to detail, I just noticed the earth gets closer as the time limit runs out.

Very solid remix. It really gives a huge effect to Zero's heroic character.

Absolutely one of my favorite moments in gaming.

The most epic ending boss battle.... even more epic with your remix, i can't handle this!

This is so heroic. A true masterpiece.

Masterpiece

Maybe it's just me; but this boss battle, with the countdown and all, is quite intense. I've finished it with 24 seconds left and I was panting like crazy

I know it's a bit late but here's the translation for the comment: I was expecting a more electronic guitar-heavy sound, but you took an orchestral approach, which was loaded with the dreadful finality the original themes lacked (considering the outcome of the battle), was packed with energy to just make you feel like jumping up and cutting down a reploid the size of Kansas, all while retaining the emotion that Zero felt as an ultimate weapon for death becoming the perfect tool for salvation!

My favorite remix

My mind is blown, this is freaking amazing

I’d like to believe that the destroyed helmet at the end of the video was Omega Zero’s one, not Zero’s helmet. Lol

poor ceil.... well, she found him eventually, and managed to make him and the rest of the guardians into biometal, presumably sealing her soul into Biometal Z, so she and Zero would always be together

OH BOY, THIS, so much win in this, you deserve some fine cookies for this ; u ;

This is... quite amazing... I like it a lot!

This should be in a Sonic game

masterpiece

HOLLEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEESHIIIIIIIIIIIIIEEEEEEEEEET!!!! when weil transformed and the music hit me i was like HHHHOOOOOOOOOLEEEEEEEEEEESHIIIIIET!!! this is truly amazing. i thank you, my good sir. anyway,back to enjoying the remixHOLY-

Oh my god this makes me want mega man zero resurrection more Ps its a fangame but it looks dang fine

The tur hero don't forget the mission

this is amazing

Pretty epic! Although I do love the version with the bagpipes more (an instrument that seriously needs more love in video game music) This one is more polished in the end.

Eu não sei exatamente o porquê, mas essa track em versão de orquestra fica muito melhor.

Fantastic! This beats out the original and Mythos versions by far!

Straight Gas

1:08

Thank you! I have nerdgasms listening to this!

As Barbosa would say... The laws of Robotics are more of Rules than Actual Guidelines. lol

2:48 👍🏻🎶

This is the best one I've heard yet!! =D

I played this when my cousin went to the bathroom after eating Mexican hot Cheetos.

You should have added the dialogue from Rockman zero 4 telos ragnarok Record Final battle , it will be epic with their voice as the subs and the game are the same exact.

Me sacrifique por ustedes

Spoiler from idk how much: Zero Will resurrect check it out!! Check the game megaman zero ressurection

I swear that axe is the only good knuckle weapon.

God speed edge boy

Sounds like something in Metroid Prime

I think it would have sounded better with both the bagpipes and the choir.

Weil: One of those enemies you destroyed has been waiting for you for centuries. Too bad you won’t go to the same place that “it” went. Zero: How dare you! Iris is someone I believe in. Weil: You say that now, but you sure wanted it to die. Not to mention X and his children.

Funny fact : in the manga he still lives.l

very very good

Play this at .75 speed. You're welcome

Dayum. I like the Mythos version more, but this is awesome

Awesome.

Falling from the edge of space at terminal velocity on a space laser you blew up choosing to commit sucide to save the ones you love. Is there even a better way to die?
