Note: The ending does not change regardless of whether you choose Jason or Kane during the final boss battle. (Edit) Note 2: To get into the true final area, press L+R after the screen cracks and before the red dialogue ends during the bad ending cutscene. (Edit 2) Talk to Leibniz until he asks Jason if he is feeling all right so that the good ending may be triggered. I think you need to use the VRV system to a required amount before this dialogue can be triggered. Upgrades do not matter as the save file I tested on was with no health or SP upgrades. Thanks to the comments!
My favorite things about this ending 1. It’s actually the least conclusive ending in the trilogy. Unlike the previous two true endings where Jason and Eve achieved all they had to achieve, in this one, the two already know what their next goals are before setting off, which I find quite beautiful as the ending of a saga. 2. Their children being named Roddy and Elfie is especially heartwarming in this trilogy since it’s in remembrance of the pilot and droid of the Andreia, the MA that saved Eve’s life 3. I love how the after credits scene shows that Jason and Eve are taking Kane’s advice of “always strive to be with your family” to heart. 4. Leibzig probably gets the best draw of all the characters in this ending since she actually gets a second chance to protect something she cares about, this time being Jason and Eve’s children. 5. Early on in the game, Jason reveals to Leibzig that he was born in a lab and has never had a proper family, which is why he puts so much in to protecting Eve and Fred, they’re the closest thing to family he has had, which makes him thanking Kane for allowing him to find an irreplaceable family all the more emotional. 6. Last but not least, the last shot is Jason blasting off to new lands just how he does in the first game. You cannot get more perfect then that.
Just one problem. If the mutants and MA’s sorta live peacefully, then what’s gonna be the next threat? And where would it be. It would be kinda nice to have both Leibniz and Jason have to fight it., where one half is in normal space, and the other half in super dimensional space.
(Side note) why hasn’t the forth one come out yet? Like how megaman zero 4 was out! I wanna see how this ends with everyone on earth, and mutants being completely defeated, eradicated
@@Shadow_lord9983 Jason did mention there was a new divergent line of mutants called "Lightning Beings" which somehow are outside Eve's control, at the 8:03 timestamp...So very likely if there is ever going to be a 4th BMZ game, they will become the next main threat. As for why Inti Creates havent made a BMZ4 yet... They just dont see the franchise as a big priority atm. While they do mention they certainly would like to make more games like it in the future, they just dont see a high demand for it at the time. Soo, it's unlikely to get a sequel anytime soon, unless the franchise became more popular somehow. Otherwise the closest thing you'd have to a story follow up (at least from the Jason and Eve had kids angle) , would be the old ps1 game Blaster Master: Blasting Again, which is of a different continuity with a smaller cast of chars.
Jason and Eve named their children after them since the Roddy and Elfie eve met, in BMZ2 Roddy was killed by a Mutant boss while Elfie used all of her remaining power to Repair Andreia so Eve could save jason and fred in BMZ2 after they were petrified by planade-G.
Zero 3's true ending makes me think that Blasting Again comes some time after Zero 3, as Jason says that if his kids wonders where he is, Leibniz will tell them that he's dead, and in Blasting Again, the main character Roddy says that his father died in the fight against the Plutonium Boss, which would be possible given how there's those Plutonium Boss clones in the Super-Dimensional areas. Even the Accel blasts in both Zero 3 and Blasting Again are pretty much the same attack, but different colors.
This ending, My God, it's so hearthwarming Jason and Eve end together at the end, and even got their children but i only wish an scene of both sharing a kiss, it would be just perfect
If you choose to fight Kane with Jason for the final boss, and you happen to get killed, Eve will appear in a splash screen to put a barrier around you and refill your health to full. Not gonna lie, but when I played it, I was half-expecting to see a haiku along with it because it's so similar to Gunvolt when Lumen resurrects you after you die. If that was meant to be a reference to that, then that was a really nice touch
I'm glad that both Jason and Eve are still alive in the end, but it's sad that they will never see their children growing up, even thought they're doing it to protect them from other mutants invasions.
Yeah, it's great that both Jason and Eve are still alive and well in the end, unfortunately, they can't stay in normal space since they became super-dimensional lifeforms, and thus can't see their children grow up. It's sad that Jason and Eve go to the super-dimensional space, but it's to protect their home world and children from mutant invasions. At least they have each other while in the super-dimensional space, right? I wonder if there'll be a way for Jason and Eve to come back to their home world someday?
@@rickynguyen5108 That brings up a good question, where they heck are these mutants coming from? I'm right that we haven't seen the last of them just yet.
Maybe the Lightning Beings will be the main enemy of future Blaster Master games? I don't really know a ton about the original continuity, but weren't they separate from the mutants and the main enemy of 2 and Blasting Again? And unless I'm getting the games mixed up, I'm pretty sure Blasting Again was the original game with Roddy, so it adds up...
I believe they’ll return to normal space eventually. Maybe not today or tomorrow but they have accomplished the impossible before and now and I believe they will continue to do so. Their journey continues on and someday they will make it back home.
It’s crazy to see how well this trilogy turned out and I loved it. Honestly if the NES technical limitations weren’t a thing back then I’m sure the story would have turned out differently. I hope the future of the franchise goes super smooth and somehow connects all the dots with the lore.
This game broke my heart in so many ways that I didn’t know it could. I cried so much when i saw the final “thanks for playing” screen but now there’s going to be a new arch coming and its gonna be a good one
haven't gotten to finishing it yet. the ending felt bittersweet. Inti did something that sunsoft couldn't do back then. give Jason Eve and Fred an Actual Closure to their story. unlike the Ps1 blasting again in where they are killed off screen.
@@ashwolf2006 , honestly, I cannot see where there cannot be two parallel trilogy sequels to this trilogy of games. One of them can essentially be a trilogy of games that is a 2D version of Blaster Master: Blasting Again, and the other trilogy can be parallel to that trilogy, but that it is Jason and Eve going after the Lightning Beings in Super-Dimensional Space, while Roddy, Elfie, and company are handling them on the planet Earth, as well as the other planets. Also, I would love to see what happened to Jason's parents, as well as have some actual backstory on how not only the mutants came to be in the first place, but also who made them, AND who also discovered Super-Dimensional Space. Chances are that the same person that discovered Super-Dimensional Space also made the robots, as well as mutants, and that Super-Dimensional Space kind of merged them together into new life forms, kind of like Cybertronian beings and their related ilk in the Transformers universe, that is, they are hyper intelligent robots, yet they are also sentient beings that are, in a lot of ways, human like, yet beyond human.
These fucking madlads, not only the referenced the original japanese Metafight, not only they referenced the novel, they freaking referenced the PS1 game. I wish i was an OG BM fan, so i could enjoy this even more. Speaking of the PS1 game, if they ever make a BMZ4 the twins will probably be the protagonists
and to think this whole journey started with jason finding fred. atleast this was a better conclusion to Jason and Eve's Story than the PS1 game. in where jason was killed by the mutants and eve dying of a disease. their ending here is a Bitter sweet one if you think about it they are now happily together but they could no longer live a normal life or even raise their children. Edit/Update. If jason and eve are fighting the Lightning beings. This'll probably lead to a Blaster Master zero: Blasting Again scenario only this time jason and eve are alive and. Both are stopping the Lightning Beings from escaping the super dimensional space. Unfortunately some of them escaped to normal space and began their invasion. In which their children will be forced to fight Lighting Beings ruler Kaizer. Which will be really interesting. Since elfie will act as Roddy's navigator when he pilots Sophia J-7. Of course Leibniz will obviously mentor the kids into fighting the new threat just in case.
Had no idea I was playing as Kane throughout Area ???. When I had to fight Jason, I knew I was in for the best way for Blaster Master Zero to conclude.
So I think I figured it out for people who aren’t getting the cracked screen and red dialogue text during the ending cutscene like I was. I went into an SF dungeon and pressed + to bring up the ship menu and then pressed - to talk to Leibniz over and over until there’s no more new dialogue, THEN go into the dimensional portal at the start of an SF dungeon and come back out of the portal and THEN talk to Leibniz again and he should ask you “if your feeling alright” because of wearing the VRV helmet so much. When he says this to you NOW go and fight the final boss again and this time the screen should crack and you’ll get the red text where you press L and R together, that’s what worked for me!
I dint think talking to her really matters but even in the ending it confirms the reason why jason was able to go into the rupture to super space was because his body got used to it. This changing him the be like eve. So you just gotta go through super space a bunch.
@@HarbingerYT alex buffoni, a character in the novel, he is a classmate of jason and the 1st guy who rode sophia before jason seen the said tank and found him at the area 4 unconscious, so at the whole time he is with him with a same goal, finding his pet plutarch (his lobster) while there is a game which is alex is the MC of the wii game called BM:Overdrive
@@Yukito746 I wish they'd done something with Alex and Plutarch (his lobster), or referenced the plutonium boss AT ALL, but alas only so many references can exist in one beautiful relive of a series. I wonder if they'll make another game with Kaiser as the villain?
Just recently finished the game. The way things turned out should feel like a happy end, but I'm not happy at all. I had to wait a little before I could analyzed everything this game thrown at me, there is one general thought that came to me. In general this whole game was not about a journey, but to simply conclude what was already resolved in previous game and set up some stuff for a sequel. And looking how sequels was set in for Blaster Master Zero, I guess part four will start with yet another crisis. First come to mind is Leibniz and her failure to protect cocoon from Gardner in this game. Pretty sure she will fail again and die protecting children. Eve assimilating into SDS sounds like she will became the dimensional space itself, which is probably the reason why Area ??? doesn't look like any typical mutant dimension from previous games and it's somewhat less hostile toward normal dimension life forms. I really can't see how she can come back other than being a projection of her former self only inside SDS. Jason might be able to return as it seems his transformation from a human to a super dimensional being was completed. But who knows, maybe Jason will succeed Eve's plot point of being fine in the ending and being screwed like in both BMZ2 and BMZ3. I guess we'll see what kind of entity he will become. I wonder if people at Inti Creates feel overly depressed the last few years? It feels like they're trying to outperform R-Type Final in terms of depressive mood, but want to make sure that people won't feel suicidal after playing the game.
I hope Leibniz doesnt fail again. I want her to least get a win for once IMO lmao. I feel like shes been nothing more than a jobber the whole time. Losing to jason twice (understandable), kanna (she did say she lost in that planet) and kane (also understandable since hes the strongest character) Really do like your thoughts on this and makes me wonder about Eve from your statement. I hope they do least get a happy ending if the game is about their children. Inti sure loves to do depressing bittersweet endings since the Zero series .
Playing as kane vs a fully upgraded jason: cbt Playing as jason period: ez clap of a final boss. So pretty much unless you hate yourself, dont play as kane.
I think it's the reason they give you the option to play as kane is for a difficulty Spike and challeng where if u play Jason it easy mode and the Ai that play Kane has to think strategically
@@leon4000 So is this connected all along? Dammit, now we need another Blaster Master game that has Roddy and Elfie as the protagonists this time. Jason’s story is over.
I just hope that, if they're actually gonna do a new series with Roddy and Elfie as protagonists, they don't make Jason and Eve dying off-screen like in the original continuity...
The mutant core that infecter her post bmz 1 and bmz2 altereds her cells. And during the final battle at bmz2 she was purified after they killed the mutant lord Drolvero. But the mutant cells in her body already changed her from synthetic to organic. Unfortunately she is also the new mutant lord. Unfortunately since the mutants took her to SDS and had spent alot of time there she ascended even further to the point she will mo longer have a physical body. But a being of pure thought. The same will also happen to jadon since he also spent too much time in that space
Kane vs Jason is a very challenging battle if you don't get the Accel Blast Finisher, did you find it? i read that is in a hidden path in Area X but still not able to find it
I did find it! I forgot how you would get there, but I think it’s in the room where you would fight Cereboss in BMZ1. However it never occurred to me to use it during the Jason fight.
@@yurinachannel4326 It does save, but after I see "Now saving" pop up for a split second, nothing. I ended up deleting the file, partially to see if that'll fix the issue.
Any boss in the game can be done with enough tries, you'll get the pattern down eventually. If you beat the rest of the series you should be able to do this.
Yeah, Eir and Garuda are beyond brutal. Garuda, especially. But once the, ahem, Metafight began to commence, I knew then why Leibniz was so hellbent on destroying, well, Kane.
@@Chaos89P The fights were very well crafted though. Except Eir’s giant flowers and exploding fruit and it isn’t clear you’re supposed to finish of Garuda with the ground breaker.
BMZ1 was a lot less anime because it had a lot of oversight from the company that made the original. They let Inti do whatever they wanted starting with BMZ2 and we immediately got boobas and Kanna’s watermelons.
Isnt this still technically a bad ending? In both endings, massive sacrifices had to be made and peace ultimately came through in both endings. I still consider both bad endings. One just happens to be slightly sweeter, while the other one feels more grounded and real.
Nah. Jason basically gave his humanity up to be with the one he loves. Its bittersweet but I feel its more sweet than bitter. I also like Kane telling Jason to not give up finding a way with being with his family.
@@GSynos Agreed. With the icon on your save file showing the character you were playing as I thought that we’d get to play as different characters, but no.
@@Rivalseeker I think you have to go into the alternate dimension enough times where leibniz starts saying like “dude are you ok”, I have no idea how many times tho
@Yri I've heard from others that might be a condition as well. I usually check all rooms I'm able to in MetroidVania/action-adventure games for hidden items, so I may have triggered the condition without realizing it.
Yeah it's kinda stupid. So before you continue after the red text during eve leaving you have to press what you always pressed to go between the spaces. L + R.
@@SonicMaster211 just make sure you have ignored kanes warning and you went through super space like a lot. That's what triggers the screen crack letting jason cross after eve.
@@maximumforce8275 you will know you did enough when you see two rings in Jason's menu instead of one. Essentially a symbol of their wedding rings. I got it just by being a complete bitch in SF Bases.. me, fighting near invincible enemies? HELL NO, ACTIVATE VRV SYSTEM. AND FKING RUN!!!
I have to agree with Kane and Lebniz here, Kane is right to call them irresponsible why create these childs and dont take responsability of them and just leave them to Lebniz, is like having children just because you want but the first thing you do is give them for adoption, so if they dont do everything in their power to get back to earth is pretty much like Lebniz says better tell them thier parents are death. Because i mean how would you think if some tell you that your parents gave birth to you knowing they could not be with you, just because they wanted to leave proof of their existance, doesnt fell like they love you but more that they are just using you.
To be fair, Jason and Eve were willing to give up in having children. It was Leibniz himself who encouraged them to do it AND to let him growing them up. Let's just hope that eventually, when they grow up and they decide to find them and find a way to bring back home... they don't find out that they died in off-screen like in the original continuity...
@@grayfox4819 they had them knowing they will never meet their mom and dad that sound sad, they will have uncle Lebniz but still, i think it would be better if they where born as superdimentional life forms, and live with thier parent there as a family in term giving brith to a new type of superdimentional human race.
@@grayfox4819 We do see that both Jason and Eve are going to do everything they can to find a way back home to Earth, and thus return to their children to be a family. Right now, they have to stop the mutants who ignored Eve's will to have them stand down and stop attacking the normal space.
@@grayfox4819 Leibniz said if they didn't come back he'd tell them Jason and Eve were dead. That would still mostly jive with the existing version of Blasting Again. Hopefully going forward in the new continuity Leibniz will raise Roddy and Elfie who become Metal Fighters and Jason and Eve will return at a critical moment to help them clench a fight with whatever Lightning beings they're up against at the time. Ultimately ending with them being able to be a happy family. At this point anything OTHER that that being the ultimate ending would be a pretty big cop out by Inti.
My best excuse? It's meta thing. Not Meta Fight, but actual, cultural thing. Did you notice how many "feels good to be a parent" shows had been on air lately in Japan? And did you know the japanese birth rate is actually negative? Media affects perception. Showing a positive couple doing all they can to have babies is in the service to the japanese government. I'm not saying they were meddling with the story of a tiny company's game, but that opinion is present in japanese society. Other than that, all I can say is most of Jason and Eve's plan is based on a lot of maybies. They don't count on those maybies, but it's enough to kinda morally justify them. Which is hard, even for someone who wants kids despite the world being pretty bad with no real signs of improving...
Yeesh, what a way to end it, and the fact remains that the "Lightning Beings are still out there causing ruckus". And Jason and Eve set out to combat this threat. It's not going to be so simple, as I've learned enough to know there are crafty beings among the universe that won't stand down for anyone. I just get this feeling that even though Jason and Eve will protect them, there's so much only they can do even in their present state. We don't know what these beings are capable of. I guess we will find out someday in the future. Until then, keep fighting Jason and Eve, at least after the day comes that we'll meet again.
@@reianae.smiley8573 Only the Lightning Beings are the real Threat now. and chances are if Blaster Master Zero: Blasting Again is getting a Remake. will be taking control of Roddy along with Elfie. fighting the Lightning Beings.
@@reianae.smiley8573 and chances are Roddy's MA will probably get Stolen or Assimilated later. since the original PS1 Blasting again the leader of the Lightning Being's Stole and Assimilated one of the Sophia's Hidden on Earth which belonged to Eve's friend who became the New Leader of the Lightning Beings. and the damn thing also want's to Absorb Elfie since she's Eve's Daughter.

@@HarbingerYT alex buffoni, a character in the novel, he is a classmate of jason and the 1st guy who rode sophia before jason seen the said tank and found him at the area 4 unconscious, so at the whole time he is with him with a same goal, finding his pet plutarch (his lobster)
while there is a game which is alex is the MC of the wii game called BM:Overdrive
@@HarbingerYT The main character from "Blaster Master Overdrive," Sunsoft's WiiWare entry in the series.
@@Yukito746 I wish they'd done something with Alex and Plutarch (his lobster), or referenced the plutonium boss AT ALL, but alas only so many references can exist in one beautiful relive of a series. I wonder if they'll make another game with Kaiser as the villain?
@@davidjellofox something tells me he might become the next main antagonist for the Blaster master game.
Just recently finished the game. The way things turned out should feel like a happy end, but I'm not happy at all. I had to wait a little before I could analyzed everything this game thrown at me, there is one general thought that came to me. In general this whole game was not about a journey, but to simply conclude what was already resolved in previous game and set up some stuff for a sequel.
And looking how sequels was set in for Blaster Master Zero, I guess part four will start with yet another crisis. First come to mind is Leibniz and her failure to protect cocoon from Gardner in this game. Pretty sure she will fail again and die protecting children.
Eve assimilating into SDS sounds like she will became the dimensional space itself, which is probably the reason why Area ??? doesn't look like any typical mutant dimension from previous games and it's somewhat less hostile toward normal dimension life forms. I really can't see how she can come back other than being a projection of her former self only inside SDS.
Jason might be able to return as it seems his transformation from a human to a super dimensional being was completed. But who knows, maybe Jason will succeed Eve's plot point of being fine in the ending and being screwed like in both BMZ2 and BMZ3. I guess we'll see what kind of entity he will become.
I wonder if people at Inti Creates feel overly depressed the last few years? It feels like they're trying to outperform R-Type Final in terms of depressive mood, but want to make sure that people won't feel suicidal after playing the game.
I hope Leibniz doesnt fail again. I want her to least get a win for once IMO lmao.
I feel like shes been nothing more than a jobber the whole time. Losing to jason twice (understandable), kanna (she did say she lost in that planet) and kane (also understandable since hes the strongest character)
Really do like your thoughts on this and makes me wonder about Eve from your statement. I hope they do least get a happy ending if the game is about their children. Inti sure loves to do depressing bittersweet endings since the Zero series .
So that means there will be blaster master zero 4 in the future
It may be a remake of sorts of Blasting Again for the PS1.
Playing as kane vs a fully upgraded jason: cbt
Playing as jason period: ez clap of a final boss.
So pretty much unless you hate yourself, dont play as kane.
I thought Jason was slightly more manageable than Leibniz, though I did stock up 3 life guards.
There's trophies tied to beating Sophia J1 and Metal Attacker respectively.
@@HarbingerYT Only True Blaster Master's and Metal Attacker's get all the trophies. I'm still stuck at Leibniz.. hehe
I think it's the reason they give you the option to play as kane is for a difficulty Spike and challeng where if u play Jason it easy mode and the Ai that play Kane has to think strategically
@@davidjellofox Would you like a stat. Or did you best him already
Holy fucking shit, the FEELS.
I think there will be a fourth part with the plutonium boss I think this jason is the blaster master Jason's grandfather
Lore of Blaster Master Zero 3 - Good Ending + Credits momentum 100
So, Roddy and Elfie really are the son and daughter of Jason and Eve?
Possibly named after the late Elfie and Roddy from BMZ2. Although they are so in the original continuity. And they made it so in this continuity.
@@leon4000 So is this connected all along? Dammit, now we need another Blaster Master game that has Roddy and Elfie as the protagonists this time. Jason’s story is over.
I just hope that, if they're actually gonna do a new series with Roddy and Elfie as protagonists, they don't make Jason and Eve dying off-screen like in the original continuity...
@@grayfox4819 I hope so also.
@@SolCresta3405 They will. Inti left all the plot hooks for a sequel to Zero.
The thing I have to wonder: Eve is an Android...How the hell did she have kids?!
The mutant core that infecter her post bmz 1 and bmz2 altereds her cells. And during the final battle at bmz2 she was purified after they killed the mutant lord Drolvero. But the mutant cells in her body already changed her from synthetic to organic. Unfortunately she is also the new mutant lord. Unfortunately since the mutants took her to SDS and had spent alot of time there she ascended even further to the point she will mo longer have a physical body. But a being of pure thought. The same will also happen to jadon since he also spent too much time in that space
Kane vs Jason is a very challenging battle if you don't get the Accel Blast Finisher, did you find it? i read that is in a hidden path in Area X but still not able to find it
I did find it! I forgot how you would get there, but I think it’s in the room where you would fight Cereboss in BMZ1. However it never occurred to me to use it during the Jason fight.
Yeah i beat Kane without It but the finisher Is more Epic ahahah
Cerberboss is in BMZ2! Red room with spikes on rocks... Damn, i Will wait for a guide. 😭
When I got to the "THANKS FOR PLAYING," I got stuck on a black screen. Did this happen to you as well?
It may be a platform specific issue or a rare bug; I was returned to the title screen after the ending.
@@yurinachannel4326 I have all three on the Switch. What do you have 3 on?
I played the switch version as well. If your problem persists I’m guessing that it’s a problem with your memory card?
@@yurinachannel4326 It does save, but after I see "Now saving" pop up for a split second, nothing. I ended up deleting the file, partially to see if that'll fix the issue.
I can't be the only one who gave up and just searched this up. I love a challenge, but hot damn was this too much. Still an amazing series though.
Any boss in the game can be done with enough tries, you'll get the pattern down eventually. If you beat the rest of the series you should be able to do this.
Yeah, Eir and Garuda are beyond brutal. Garuda, especially. But once the, ahem, Metafight began to commence, I knew then why Leibniz was so hellbent on destroying, well, Kane.
Good thing this boss fight essentially has an easy mode
@@Chaos89P The fights were very well crafted though. Except Eir’s giant flowers and exploding fruit and it isn’t clear you’re supposed to finish of Garuda with the ground breaker.
@@ota8487 I used the lightning attack out of reflex.
Is it possible to get other endings without starting whole new playthrough?
You can’t get the bad ending after you trigger the events for the good ending
@@yurinachannel4326 Ok then, can I at least choose whether I want to clear final fight as Jason or Kane after getting true ending with one?
Yes
Eve got a lot more cultured as the series continued.
BMZ1 was a lot less anime because it had a lot of oversight from the company that made the original.
They let Inti do whatever they wanted starting with BMZ2 and we immediately got boobas and Kanna’s watermelons.
Isnt this still technically a bad ending? In both endings, massive sacrifices had to be made and peace ultimately came through in both endings. I still consider both bad endings. One just happens to be slightly sweeter, while the other one feels more grounded and real.
Nah. Jason basically gave his humanity up to be with the one he loves. Its bittersweet but I feel its more sweet than bitter. I also like Kane telling Jason to not give up finding a way with being with his family.

this was a fun game, now they should do a Kanna centered game
I thought they already did, sorta.
@@MalamiteLtd wish they went more on with the other metal attackers as dlc, so much potential in Stein, Gonbei, Kanna, Leibinz, etc.
@@GSynos Agreed. With the icon on your save file showing the character you were playing as I thought that we’d get to play as different characters, but no.
Inticreates definitely watched Eureka Seven while developing this.
I know you have to press L+R to get past the bad ending, but I never got a chance to do that and I don’t get why
Hi yri also I’m getting blaster master zero 3 today
@@Dehydratedpineapple2444 hi, no idea who you are but I hope you enjoy bmz3
Did the text not turn red during that sequence for you? If not, I think you may need to 100% item pickups in Areas 1-6 before that will happen.
@@Rivalseeker I think you have to go into the alternate dimension enough times where leibniz starts saying like “dude are you ok”, I have no idea how many times tho
@Yri
I've heard from others that might be a condition as well. I usually check all rooms I'm able to in MetroidVania/action-adventure games for hidden items, so I may have triggered the condition without realizing it.
I got the true ending, but I got lost and came here instead. LOL
how does one unlock this?
Press L+R after the screen cracks and before the red dialogue ends in the bad ending cutscene.
@@yurinachannel4326 Thank you.
@@yurinachannel4326 i assume to trigger that you need to find all the upgrades for jason and the tank
Thank you
@@Ragnheiour You don't need 100%.
So ends another chapter ..
How do this ending?
When the screen cracks at the end of the bad ending you need to press L and R at the same time
And before the red dialogue ends
@@Dehydratedpineapple2444 thanks
How do you get the good ending?
Look at the pinned comment
Yeah it's kinda stupid. So before you continue after the red text during eve leaving you have to press what you always pressed to go between the spaces. L + R.
Thanks, guys! It is a weird new way to do things.
@@SonicMaster211 just make sure you have ignored kanes warning and you went through super space like a lot. That's what triggers the screen crack letting jason cross after eve.
@@maximumforce8275 you will know you did enough when you see two rings in Jason's menu instead of one. Essentially a symbol of their wedding rings.
I got it just by being a complete bitch in SF Bases.. me, fighting near invincible enemies? HELL NO, ACTIVATE VRV SYSTEM. AND FKING RUN!!!
Doing this fight as Kane is BS.
Unless you back track and be prepared cause like so, I managed to beat Jason that way. Plus its always good to do it the old fashioned way
I have to agree with Kane and Lebniz here, Kane is right to call them irresponsible why create these childs and dont take responsability of them and just leave them to Lebniz, is like having children just because you want but the first thing you do is give them for adoption, so if they dont do everything in their power to get back to earth is pretty much like Lebniz says better tell them thier parents are death. Because i mean how would you think if some tell you that your parents gave birth to you knowing they could not be with you, just because they wanted to leave proof of their existance, doesnt fell like they love you but more that they are just using you.
To be fair, Jason and Eve were willing to give up in having children. It was Leibniz himself who encouraged them to do it AND to let him growing them up.
Let's just hope that eventually, when they grow up and they decide to find them and find a way to bring back home... they don't find out that they died in off-screen like in the original continuity...
@@grayfox4819 they had them knowing they will never meet their mom and dad that sound sad, they will have uncle Lebniz but still, i think it would be better if they where born as superdimentional life forms, and live with thier parent there as a family in term giving brith to a new type of superdimentional human race.
@@grayfox4819
We do see that both Jason and Eve are going to do everything they can to find a way back home to Earth, and thus return to their children to be a family. Right now, they have to stop the mutants who ignored Eve's will to have them stand down and stop attacking the normal space.
@@grayfox4819 Leibniz said if they didn't come back he'd tell them Jason and Eve were dead. That would still mostly jive with the existing version of Blasting Again. Hopefully going forward in the new continuity Leibniz will raise Roddy and Elfie who become Metal Fighters and Jason and Eve will return at a critical moment to help them clench a fight with whatever Lightning beings they're up against at the time. Ultimately ending with them being able to be a happy family. At this point anything OTHER that that being the ultimate ending would be a pretty big cop out by Inti.
My best excuse? It's meta thing. Not Meta Fight, but actual, cultural thing.
Did you notice how many "feels good to be a parent" shows had been on air lately in Japan? And did you know the japanese birth rate is actually negative?
Media affects perception. Showing a positive couple doing all they can to have babies is in the service to the japanese government. I'm not saying they were meddling with the story of a tiny company's game, but that opinion is present in japanese society.
Other than that, all I can say is most of Jason and Eve's plan is based on a lot of maybies. They don't count on those maybies, but it's enough to kinda morally justify them. Which is hard, even for someone who wants kids despite the world being pretty bad with no real signs of improving...
Yeesh, what a way to end it, and the fact remains that the "Lightning Beings are still out there causing ruckus". And Jason and Eve set out to combat this threat. It's not going to be so simple, as I've learned enough to know there are crafty beings among the universe that won't stand down for anyone. I just get this feeling that even though Jason and Eve will protect them, there's so much only they can do even in their present state. We don't know what these beings are capable of. I guess we will find out someday in the future. Until then, keep fighting Jason and Eve, at least after the day comes that we'll meet again.
How many of those are there?!
@@reianae.smiley8573 Only the Lightning Beings are the real Threat now. and chances are if Blaster Master Zero: Blasting Again is getting a Remake. will be taking control of Roddy along with Elfie. fighting the Lightning Beings.
