Rockmen R Background and Scene Translations
Story (From Website)
Time after time, Rockman has hindered Dr. Wily's plans for world domination. At this rate, he'll be stuck scrimping on all his materials, even Sniper Joe shields. Even though Forte's abilities should be much greater than Rockman's, Rockman has not been defeated...
Wily: Why, why... why can't I find the reason for it!
...
......
......
Wily: .....!!
Wily: No, wait just a minute, Rockman and Forte, Rush and Gospel... Roll?
Wily: Really... is that so... can it be?
Wily: Ha ha ha... fwa ha ha ha... haa ha ha ha ha ha ha, so be it!
Wily: The world will be miiiiine!
Characters (from website)
Roll
Like a sister to Rock, she handles everything from housework to assisting the Doctor in his lab.
Rockman
Originally a domestic robot, but to halt Dr. Wily's crimes, volunteered to be converted into the super fighting robot Rockman.
Rush
A support robot Dr. Right made for Rockman. He helps Rock in all sorts of tough situations.
Rightot
A robot that helps out in the laboratory. Is it his turn at last??
Rightot: Don't tease me...
Forte:
Self-titled world's strongest. (Ha!) Wily created him to have abilities even greater than Rockman's, but he hasn't won once.
???:
Wily somehow managed to create a copy of Roll-chan. Everything else... missing data.
WEASELMAN
An aerial type defensive robot modeled after a kamaitachi (a japanese whirlwind monster, shaped like a weasel). Its fighting power is immense.
WALTZMAN
Formerly a violinist robot, he broke down and was due to be scrapped when Wily picked him up.
FLAREMAN
An ammunitions factory testing robot. Although he carries a flammable warning label, he is able to control the flares. He can engulf his body in flame and perform a rushing attack that's sure to attract a lot of attention.
RAPIDMAN
An assassination robot that can drop a target from long-distance. He typically prefers to work alone, and why he's cooperating with Wily is a mystery.
PUPPETMAN
A robot that guards the main system for controlling the automated dolls at an amusement park. Now that main system's dolls have all been transformed into bombs by Dr. Wily.
ENERGYMAN
A robot created to develop new sources of energy, capable of converting various things into energy.
LASERMAN
A robot in charge of gun defenses on a space base. His secret technique, the laser wave, is extremely powerful.
POWERMAN
A civic laborer robot, recently deployed at a mine to harvest a newly discovered mineral. An acquaintance of Gutsman and Stoneman, he never loses a contest of strength.
Opening Stage
Rightot:
Rock's signal went right around here somewhere...
Roll:
I wonder if something happened to Rock... I hope he's gotten to somewhere safe.
Rightot:
Knowing Rock, he's probably fine I bet...
Roll:
Yes. He should be. But...
Rightot:
Daggone it. The road ahead is too difficult to drive on.
(Roll jumps out of the truck and runs off ahead)
Rightot:
Hold on, Roll-chan! It's too dangerous to go by yourself!
Roll:
But I'm worried about Rock. I'll go on alone if I have to.
Rightot:
I know but... Wait, Roll-chan!
Roll:
Hang on until I get there, Rock!
(Roll goes on by her lonesome, and encounters a girl in the woods dressed like her)
Roll:
!?
You're dressed just like me... who are you?!
???:
I'm Roll, duh.
Roll:
I don't remember being that ugly.
???:
Hmph! Don't grunt at me like some baboon.
Roll:
What?! You saying you want a piece of me?
???:
Fine by me, but you won't win. It only took a single shot to take down Rock.
Roll:
We'll see about that! You will return Rock to me!
(A battle ensues, Roll wins)
Roll:
What do you say, now that I've kicked your keester?
???:
I'm not down yet. If you want him returned, you'll have to catch me first!
(The mysterious girl changes clothing and exits, Roll follows, the stage select screen shows up)
Energyman Stage, Blues appears
Roll:
Blues! Rock is... Please, lend me your power to help him!
Blues:
I know about it. But, I can't comply with your request.
Roll:
What are you saying... If you didn't come to help, then what are you doing here?
Blues:
...Th-that's not your concern.
Roll:
Alright then. If that's how you feel, then I'll just take what I need!
Blues:
Oh? And Roll-chan, what is it you want from me...?
Roll:
Your shield.
Blues:
Hah!
(They battle, Roll wins)
Roll:
I won!
Blues:
With power like that alone, you will surely be able to save Rock.
Roll:
Enough talk, give me the shield already.
Blues:
As you wish. Make good use of this in battle.
Roll:
Thanks.
Blues:
Well then... Later.
Wily Stage 1
(The mysterious girl appears again halfway into the stage)
???:
I didn't think you'd make it this far. The bosses Wily created were a bunch of weaklings.
Roll:
Whatever, just return Rock to me!
???:
Ha ha ha ha, it's too late. Wily's already finished remodeling him, didn't you know?
Roll:
Th-that means...
???:
Don't be sad. After I've reduced you to scrap, you'll be rebuilt as our ally.
(Another battle, Roll wins)
???:
......(erk).
Roll:
It looks like the tables have turned.
???:
Hmph, I'm getting tired of you.
(the girl exits, Roll continues on)
Wily Stage 2
(Forte appears around the middle of the stage)
Roll:
!
Forte. Did you give up your dream of fighting with Rock?
Forte:
I would never... That rotten old bastard Wily, I can't stand his schemes!
Roll:
If that's so, then why...?!
Forte:
I can't stand it! But, I can't help Rock. It's the way Wily built me. That's why you must defeat me, and go.
Roll:
Forte...
Forte:
On my life, I can't just look the other way!
(They battle, Roll wins)
Roll:
...you lost to me on purpose, didn't you?
Forte:
You think I'd fight seriously with a girl? ...Well, I'd like to say it was only because I was holding back, but the truth is you fought splendidly. Go, and help Rock.
(Forte leaves, Roll continues)
Wily Stage 3
Roll:
It looks like he's up ahead! Rush, let's go!
("he" is Airman, a little in-joke to Airman ga Taosenai! perhaps)
Wily Stage 4
???:
This is the third time we've met, isn't it, Roll?
Roll:
Yeah, so?
???:
It's about time I introduced myself. My name is Piano. I'm Forte's little sister.
Roll:
If that's true then you should understand, return Rock to me!
Piano:
...(erk).
...Y..you never give up, do you?
Roll:
That's my line! You think the third time's the charm for you? Don't make me laugh.
Piano:
Hmph. The snow... is beautiful, isn't it?
Roll:
What does that have to do with anything?!
Piano:
When it snows like this, is the only time when I can demonstrate the true power of my special weapon.
Roll:
Hee hee, what a useless special weapon.
Piano:
Enough of your prattle! Prepare to be frozen for eternity!
(Roll wins yet again)
Piano:
Why... Why can't I win?!
Roll:
It's definitely not because you're weak. But, you're only thinking of yourself. I wish to help Rock. Because of that, I can overcome anything!
Piano:
...(erk!)
(Piano leaves, and Roll continues to the end of the stage, where she finds Rockman at last)
Roll:
Rock!!
Rock:
Roll-chan, get away from here!
Roll:
Aren't we leaving together?
Rock:
M-my body isn't listening to me. Dr. Wily must have tampered with my insides.
Roll:
If we can return to Dr. Right's lab, I know we'll figure something out!
Rock:
It's no use, even now my hand is trying to attack you. It's taking all my might just to try and hold it back!
Roll:
B-but!
Rock:
N-no good!...I can't fight it...
(Rock and Roll battle, Roll wins out)
Roll:
Rock!!
Rock:
I-I'm okay. In that last attack, you must have destroyed the chip that Dr. Wily installed into me.
Roll:
I'm so relieved...
Rock:
Time to get going. I've got to defeat Dr. Wily!
Roll:
With your body in that state, no way! Rock, you've got to return to Dr. Right's lab.
Rock:
...
...I understand. I'll head back to Dr. Right's lab for repairs. I'll entrust Dr. Wily to you.
Roll:
Leave it to me!
Rock:
All right, see ya when you get back!
Wily Stage 5
Wily:
So, is seems that Remote Control Chip I installed in Rock was faulty after all...? Feh, oh well. I'll just install another one next time I capture him.
Roll:
I won't let you!
Wily:
Heh heh, no one asked you! But, it does seem I miscalculated your abilities.
Roll:
Too bad for you!
Wily:
Let me thank you for coming all this way!
(Roll wins the final battle, and Wily resumes his usual humble surrender)
Wily:
Hyeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee-! I'm so sorry! S-so sorry! I'm so very sorry! Please forgive me, I beg of you! I won't do bad things anymore! I promise!
Roll:
How many times have we heard that before?! You aren't going to trick me!
(Roll aims her Rollbuster at Wily, charging up)
Wily:
Y-you're going to s-shoot me? But you're a robot, and I'm a human...!
Roll:
You're wasting your time.
Wily:
Waiiiiiit!!
Roll:
Prepare yourself.
Wily:
Do what?
SPRO-I-I-ING! (Wily's head springs off, revealing himself to be an impostor)
Roll:
It's a... fake...!
(Roll victory poses and escapes, scene cuts to Wily's castle self destructing, but not before Wily escapes in his flying saucer. Cut to credits)
