## Adaptation

The story elements were used in the middle of the first season of the *MegaMan NT Warrior* anime series and all the NetNavis (with the exception GateMan) and the human characters introduced from the game appeared in the season. Kid Grave is based on the Lord Gospel, the disguise of Sean Obihiro from the games, which Sean himself doesn't appear in the anime series.

Some of antagonistic NetNavis such as AirMan, NapalmMan, FreezeMan, and SnakeMan reappears in later seasons as either Darkloids, Asteroids or Zoanoroids. GateMan's anime counterpart appeared in the *Rockman EXE Beast* as rather a Zoanoroid of Falzer's Amry.
