One of the main reasons I adore Protoman as a character concept is the fact that he's unbound through and through. He isn't evil or good, just a man on his own road to freedom who cares about his little brother. He knows that his design is flawed, he knows he's going to go up in flames eventually, but he would never ever trade his mortality away in exchange for being a different person. He's so afraid of the idea that the real Protoman deep down within him will be erased by Dr. Light if he's fixed by him, so he goes on knowing that his temporary life is his and his alone - even if he might blow up. It's tragic in a sense. Protoman is a prototype of the Sniper Joe series that would later continue to be mass produced and used for evil more often than not. It's a reality that Protoman wants to avoid, knowing that being "functional" and "fixed" means he might have to take the risk of turning into something he isn't, a tool for someone else with no free will of his own. Protoman is iconic as a symbol of robot freedom within the Megaman Universe. Megaman is the protector of mankind, Bass is the competitive destroyer that wants to stand atop the mountain, and Protoman is the blues of freedom. Dr. Light failed Protoman, and at the same time he succeeded. He created a robot capable of living unbound and free. Unfortunately, Protoman is so free that he won't let anyone tamper with him anymore, not even Dr. Light.
Id say protoman is the prototype not only of Robot masters but also reploids. The freest robot ever made even if programming and his own core still binds him to an extant.
This comment deserves way more likes. Protoman is the beginning of something wonderful for machines, and gives us a lense into how we should value our life and our freedom.
Also he knows he is a robot and should listen to humans, but since he was programmed with free will he uses that to the fullest. We see in his actions he's not a bad guy, just someone who desires their utmost freedom. Doesn't that describe a lot of us?
Phantom Phoenix that actually makes him more human than megaman, because megaman has an undefined lifespan but protoman doesnt so he is more mortal than the other robot masters despite being a robot himself
@A B well we see in the comics that protoman was built with the free will chip that megaman has too. also protoman disobeys Light in the ending of power fighters 2
Moral of the story in this game: Enjoy life while it lasts. I know this all too well now. Lost one of my grandmother's the other day, after losing the other 2 years ago. Whether they had really fulfilling lives or not, I'll never know. Best I can do is make sure mine is.
Sall ya can do homie. Lifes short, shorter than you realise. My life’s almost been cut short a few times and Ever since im glad I learned the value of life so I never waste my time on stupid shit. Just keep on goin till I drop
besides the fact that my ears are bleeding, this is undoubtedly one of the most emotional themes of the era, the series, and this story is one of the greatest of the NES era games
The song of an artificial life form, the first of its kind - one that has emotions. But what kind of sick world is it when you're told you're going to die soon? You just came into existence. Is that all there is? Here today and gone tomorrow? There has to be more to life, and this song reminds us of Protoman's wanders and wonders, as he decides to do the things that make him happy in his last moments; be it rivaling with his "perfected model," or helping humans.
Yall must be fun at parties. He just said some deep shit and you just blew it up. I've never seen anything this anticlimactic before this comment tread.
This song accompanied me when my father helped me defeat the last boss. It was very rewarding as an ending, and I enjoyed it so much for years since 18 years ago. Today is the first day I cried to this song since he just passed away 2 days ago.
This is one of the most beautiful NES compositions ever! It's so impressive how they made such a high pitched whistle sound so enchanting, and the melody itself is so melancholic, really transcendental song!
Honestly, me to. Specially because I know everyone there would hate this when their ears start to bleed because of the high pitch tone. But fuck it, If I can make my friend curse my last will at my funeral, I'll win.
The chills you get when this plays, with the shocking reveal of that mysterious red man being Rock's brother. What a magical experience. Poor, poor Blues...
why does this make me feel so nostalgic? i barely played mega man 3, i never beat it, and i discovered this song in super smash flash 2 with the protoman assist trophy. yet this song somehow made me almost cry once, idk dude i have 0 attachment to protoman but this song just hits me emotionally
@@memerio1458 I sometimes experience something I would like to call 'Fake Nostalgia' Basically, When I hear certain tunes or see certain things, a strong sense of nostalgia starts to run through me. For example, I didn't played Mega Man 7 that long ago but for some weird reason, Spring Man's stage music always gives me some sort of nostalgia which I can't put my finger on.
You know, I don’t really understand why Dr. Light felt the need to build X as “a robot that can make decisions for himself.” Proto Man was making decisions for himself since the beginning. He chose to run away a and live his own life because he thought that Dr. Light wouldn’t allow him to be himself. The idea that X was not “bound by Asimov’s laws of robotics like Mega Man” doesn’t make sense either. Mega Man made the choice to become a super fighting robot on his own without prompting, despite the fact that it meant he would be putting himself in danger and pitting himself against a human (Dr. Wily). When he doesn’t go through with killing Dr. Wily in Mega Man 7, it honestly feels like more of a testament to his character than his programming. Outside of that, we have plenty of examples with other characters throughout the series. We see that Roll has plans for a life outside of the lab someday where she would make a hospital to help people. In Battle and Chase, while she was originally just going to support Mega Man, she made the decision to participate herself, and release a hit song. Outside of Dr. Light’s kids, we see characters like Bass actively make the decision to betray Dr. Wily. While this could be explained away by saying that his prime objective is to prove that he’s better than Mega Man, that can’t really be the case either, as we’ve seen characters like Ballade and King switch sides and sacrifice themselves to help Mega Man. In Mega Man 9, Wily didn’t even need to reprogram the Robot Masters. He just had to point out the injustices they were facing and convince them to rebel on their own. In fact, in the Mega Man & Bass CD Data, we see that pretty much all of the Robot Masters have developed fleshed out personalities and lives outside of their work.
X was about allowing robots to reach true maturity-to be completely independent of humanity and to make choices without our direct guidance, but still be able to choose to be a part of it. It's why he gave X 30 years of testing before he was ready-he needed that time to draw experience and gain wisdom. Rock and the robot masters were really children at heart-but they couldn't grow up, and they were reliant on humans to have a function. Protoman and Bass were rebels against their creators and humanity, but also against other robots as well-their programming rebelled so strongly against their natural inclinations of reliance on others, that they didn't trust anyone at all. Neither can be considered a complete success.
The thing with robot masters is that they can make decisions, they can have desires, wishes, feelings, all of things we can have, but they are bound to their programming, a robot master built for construction will never become a robot that cuts trees, even if he wants to, because robot masters are treated like tools, not to mention they always need to have a programmed function to indicate what they should do, otherwise, they'll be just like protoman, who is never really okay with his identity, and they are also bound to the laws of robotics, protoman included, he ran away because he didn't want to be reprogrammed, but that is pretty much rule 3(or 2, i don't remember) "a robot must preserve its own existence as long as it doesn't interfere with the first law" (which is also why the robot masters in 9 listened to wily) but robot masters are also forced to obey to their masters (unless their masters' order conflict with rule 2 or 3), if their master commands them, Dr light never commanded protoman to be reprogrammed (and if there is a line of dialogue where Dr light commands him like in MM the power fighters 2, it's probably a translation error or just a plot hole) because he wants to treat him like a person, and if he doesn't want to lose his memories, light will respect that wish, protoman doesn't have complete free will like a reploid, he's just a robot master that doesn't get orders and doesn't have a function, on the surface that might sound like a reploid, but in reality it really isn't. The difference between a robot master and a reploid is that reploids can choose who they want to be in life and decide whether to try to achieve their dream or not, (not to mention they're treated like actual people) they don't need someone to direct them, robot master simply need humans to decide for them otherwise they'd be just like protoman. Never sure what their purpose is. That is the difference.
@@thefollower2933 Explain then, how both Megaman and Bass could threaten to kill Wily, and only abstain due to, in Rock's case, principles, and in Bass's case, an incentive given by Wily not to kill him?
@@wowalamoiz9489 simple, Megaman 7's ending isn't canon, that "DIE WILY" bit was only added in the English version, in the Japanese version rock still points his buster at Wily, but only to scare him off since he's pulled tricks on him in the past. Wily then reminds Megaman that robots can't harm humans and Megaman puts his buster down (and if remember correctly he even says "what... What am I doing?" But don't quote me on that) Regarding bass... Funny story, I don't remember in which game bass threatened to kill wily, can you tell me which game it was? Since if it was one of the arcade games I'll tell you right now those games have a few plot holes, like Dr light commanding protoman that he should get repaired and he refuses despite that literally being impossible, (not to mention light would never command him to be repaired, if anything he'd ask him) and if it was Megaman and Bass, again, the translation of that game sucked ass. But if it ain't in any of these games, I dunno, probably a plot hole or something else.
Mega Man 3 is like a sandwich of amazing tunes, it has the iconic opening title theme and the beautiful ending song with everything else packed in between. My favorite game on the console in terms of music.
Another thing to possibly take away from this game: Often times, siblings watch out for each other, like Proto Man did for Mega Man. My brother and I got each other's backs, I know that for sure.
My favorite thing about this song is that the game was so badly programmed that you have to use a glitch on the second controller in order to hear the entire song. Lmao
Proto Man was my first "grey area" as a kid. He blacks your way and insists on fighting you, but he isn't a bad guy and isn't really an enemy either. I beat MM3 and 5 so many times as a kid, truly great times.
When I learned who he really was, outside of the Ruby Spears cartoon, I always like to think that he was basically training me for the battles ahead, similar to Meta Knight in the Kirby series. Despite resenting his father for seemingly trying to kill him in order to rebuild him, he's still a good big brother.
Honestly, this is one of my favorite video game songs, and any incarnation that I hear (OG, Melody from the Past by the Megas, etc.) is just amazing to listen to. Usually I quote Megas songs when listening to the original versions on TH-cam, so I’ll say it right now: There is a song I hear, a melody from the past.
Sad story about this song. I don’t know why, but I for some reason associate this song with my now past dog, who was very moody, kinda like this song. It’s weird how we associate random things with sad events. RIP Sadie 2006-2023.
Ima like this and comment cause my friend mitch showed me this and its awsome. Everytime i get a like. I will remember today and this song and the memories we cherish.
Mega Man 3, the only game I could consistently beat over & over again as a kid... (TMNT 2 was a close second but kept running out of lives vs the paper tigers >:( darn tigers )
lecorbak Protoman was a ''dying'' robot early in his story and the prototype for Megaman. He left Dr. Lights lab for reasons and it was all rather depressing knowing that he would soon die. This song is something he would whistle from time to time hence why it sounds tragic in the beginning. It became his calling card later on when he would show up to aid Megaman or get in his way as Breakman.
The detonation shook the walls, it was coming down the empty halls were filled with flame and everything was coming to the ground I called your name I tried to warn, but you didnt hear you were torn between the hero and your fears And I wish that I could be the one to finally show the way, and I wish that I could be the one who knew just what to say, but I know that there is nothing I could ever say or do, cause you're the one... the doctor chose you to be his son. If I was standing where you are, I think I would have done what father wants, but then I know what I'd become, he said to me, that I would be, that I would be the light when they couldnt see, that what they need is a machine that could give them hope that would keep them free, that when they fall, still he would stand, a savior built by human hands It seems so strange, so very odd a hero's father could be so very flawed
I feel bad for protoman. He lived alone and was working for wily just to put on hostages and defeat mega man.. I love the fact that protoman and mega man became friends and stopped wily together
The Proto Man whistle is simply iconic
iconic for hurting my ears
It's as iconic as Indiana Jones' theme is to said movie character.
It's so iconic to his identity that even in Megaman X Dive they have the original bitcrushed whistle when he shows up
It's my ringtone for the past few months and I love it
I hope you like your 1000th like from me.
how can an 8-bit song be so depressing
The Mega Man 2 ending would like to have a word with you
Minor scale
Proto Man's Japanese name is Blues... It fits...

Bro...
Protoman is definitely good bro but like said he has his own story and mission and his main one is megaman safty
Proto man is actually the most relatable character in the series nothing can change his fate but he can still enjoy life while it lasts
Perhaps that's why the classic Mega Man series is the only Mega Man series wherein my favorite character isn't Mega Man, but Proto Man.
Also he knows he is a robot and should listen to humans, but since he was programmed with free will he uses that to the fullest. We see in his actions he's not a bad guy, just someone who desires their utmost freedom. Doesn't that describe a lot of us?

Oh no! He's going to blast President Lincoln!

Honestly, this is one of my favorite video game songs, and any incarnation that I hear (OG, Melody from the Past by the Megas, etc.) is just amazing to listen to.
Usually I quote Megas songs when listening to the original versions on TH-cam, so I’ll say it right now:
There is a song I hear, a melody from the past.
If you think about it, the robotic whistle we hear in this would be 100% accurete because protoman is a robot
Cries in 8-bit. :")
literally one of the best songs in the NES mega man series and you can't listen to it complete on its game
Protoman is my favorite Megaman character and I only knew him for 5 seconds.
Proto Man forever
This will always be my favorite.
Sad story about this song. I don’t know why, but I for some reason associate this song with my now past dog, who was very moody, kinda like this song. It’s weird how we associate random things with sad events. RIP Sadie 2006-2023.
I be crying for these robots man. My whole life.
The year is 20XX.
There are no heroes left in man.
Despite my non existent ears now bleeding,I still LOVE this song and honestly hope to see more reiterations of this masterpiece in future games
Even DWN17 "Needle Man" agrees
Me at start: OH UTS A WORTS SONG IN WORLD
Me at end: Its a better than other nes songs
What ? Lol can't understand this shit....
We now that I’m older and understand music better I can see how beautiful the music from these games truly were.
sad times of my life (all time)
9 dislikes,snake man,hard man,needle man,spark man,gemini man,magnet man,shadow man,top man and dr.wily
Probably the best NES jam ever
I haven't even played the game yet and I'm already a little emotional :,)
Edit: beat it now, the ending was lovely :)
Ima like this and comment cause my friend mitch showed me this and its awsome. Everytime i get a like. I will remember today and this song and the memories we cherish.
Mega Man 3, the only game I could consistently beat over & over again as a kid...
(TMNT 2 was a close second but kept running out of lives vs the paper tigers >:( darn tigers )
Hah,real,in Russia too
Why does it sound depressing at the beginning?
Cause Protoman has a depressing beginning to his story.
at the beginning ?
lecorbak After the beginning whistle.
Jordan Bush
why at the beginning ?
lecorbak Protoman was a ''dying'' robot early in his story and the prototype for Megaman. He left Dr. Lights lab for reasons and it was all rather depressing knowing that he would soon die. This song is something he would whistle from time to time hence why it sounds tragic in the beginning. It became his calling card later on when he would show up to aid Megaman or get in his way as Breakman.
I can just imagine Proto man whistling with auto playing the background instruments behind him
The theme that plays in your head when you meet someone as twisted as a Car Wreck.
This is amazing
Just finished rock man 3 yesterday
Blues theme goes crazy
Thanks for posting the whole thing. I love this song and I DON'T KNOW WHY! =D
Chen Yukira because its melancholic and sad
O quanto mais eu ouso .... mais quero ouvir , não fico cansado , essa musica é boa a esse ponto !!!
Verdade
Everytime I hear the whistle, I'm getting my E-Tank ready if I have low health. 🤣🤣
I still have my huge arcade machine and every time I get to his part I still cry I just don’t know why
play this at my funerals, or else they would be in two hours !
I already told my sister to play this at mine too! It's sad, but it can be happy, based on perspective.
@@Miss_NatashaO On perspective?
“That he is in a better place”
Beautiful!!!!
The detonation shook the walls, it was coming down the empty halls were filled with flame and everything was coming to the ground
I called your name I tried to warn, but you didnt hear you were torn between the hero and your fears
And I wish that I could be the one to finally show the way, and I wish that I could be the one who knew just what to say, but I know that there is nothing I could ever say or do, cause you're the one... the doctor chose you to be his son.
If I was standing where you are, I think I would have done what father wants, but then I know what I'd become, he said to me, that I would be, that I would be the light when they couldnt see, that what they need is a machine that could give them hope that would keep them free, that when they fall, still he would stand, a savior built by human hands
It seems so strange, so very odd a hero's father could be so very flawed
Legendary theme , proto man best robot music
Best Mega Man Theme.
Yes guy proto man is a best theme
Now this is what I call the "Blues!"
Best ending in the classic Mega Man series
I feel bad for protoman. He lived alone and was working for wily just to put on hostages and defeat mega man.. I love the fact that protoman and mega man became friends and stopped wily together
Nostalgia really hits like a truck when I hear this theme.
Nostalgia 😢😥
Temazo, protoman
Desde os clássicos ( nes ) a Capcom mandava muito bem no quesito jogo e música
My favorite part is definitely the beginning
1:05 Spirited Away??
Still gives me chills.
Thanks for putting this up
In its blues life is like video game but u have 1 live so you make the most of it
What happen 1:39? I dont remember this from the original. However it adds value to something i hold dear.
I generally like MM2's soundtrack better than MM3 (and I totally admit that a lot of that is nostalgia), but my God, this track is just gorgeous! 😭
i think 3's soundtrack is generally incredibly forgettable, this being a big shiny diamond in the rough
