i made some printable sumo-navi's based on a scene in the anime. where count zap and mr match were playing paper sumo
basically its a simplified version of origami sumo, I'll toss some explanations on how to fold them (and a lil extra work for elecman) under the cut
I felt like the one page size was a little small so thats why i made a two page version as an option.
note, i took the tutorial pics with a prototype version so it looks a little different. ive made thicker outlines/bigger outer borders for the final version
so fold it in half along the red line! They're made symmetrical because the middle crease is how it stands (rip protomans sword and searchmans gun)
---
then you cut either along the lineart or use the guide line if you're worried about cutting too close to ur lil buddy
open up the navi and fold up the triangle (this is for stability)
this is how he should look after you refold him
and whichever way youve cut him you should be ready to fight now!
underneath here is specific instructions for putting Elecmans back piece on.
as with before fold along the red line (this one doesnt have an outer border to cut out since itll need to squeeze in)
---
also make a small cut on elecmans back by going juuust along the edge of the fold.
insert the tab into the cut you made and tape it down and then youre all ready!
as reward for reading the tutorial here's how the first set of guys all looked
my special lads but at that size it was clear when cutting i did need a bigger outline since some of those spots were tight squeezes.
The first pass I did of him, he had two heads like he did in 8, but I thought with the EXE design it looked extremely cursed. So I paid homage with his original counterpart’s pose instead.
important exe theory : searchman's name is misspelled in-games because it had been a while since Laika had to use the roman alphabet and had a brainfart upon registering his navi
YES! Finally anime dream! And its another Rockman EXE episode(s) that only plays in select theaters called My Dreams OwO
Lan and Megaman are at sea trying to stop some ship for . . . I don’t know exactly why. They just have to stop it from getting away. Raika and Searchman are here to assist. Searchman apparently doesn’t like sailing because his legs are made for solid ground. He can’t do normal attacks let alone walk straight! Because Lan’s losing, Raika calls in an air strike and nopes everyone out of there. Searchman barely waddles back, and I swear Raika made fun of him for that. XXXD
Can’t tell if this is a separate episode or not so I’ll count it as different. Featured villain is Plantman and he has a new ability. Remember when he could trap navis in his vines and use their power to feed his vegetation in the anime? . . . It got upgraded to using humans as a power source. It caught Chaud and he can’t do anything because most of his energy is gone. Plantman got so high on power, he turned on his game canon operator Anetta and drained her energy too. No word if someone rescued them. XP
So “canonically”, NapalmMan left the WWW Area and befriended Fyrefox sometime between BN2 and BN5. Based on the lack of reaction from Lan and MegaMan, it also seems likely that their post-game BN2 encounter never “canonically” occurred.
So. Does nobody actually know that NapalmMan used to be WWW?
I mean MagnetMan is ex-Gospel so it probably wouldn’t be a big deal, but I’m wondering if there was some Team ProtoMan meeting where Napalm spaces out and suddenly realizes “Fuck. I’m technically a criminal. I should have thought of that before agreeing to work with the Officials. Shit.”
Though I have a feeling SearchMan and Raika would inexplicably know everything and have a bet to see how long it takes for him to blurt it out.
I thought it would be fun to do a role swap of Laika and Searchman (Laika as a navi and Searchman as a human) so here's Sergei and his navi, Scoutman. ;w;)> I spent a lot of time on these (Mostly designing Scoutman though).
