Probably every time he fights the huge and nasty ones, though, I think that's probably due to a combination of his mismanagement of sorting his Buster parts and equipping the wrong ones for the situation (energy and rapid.) Also to avoid Tron from going SSJ as well. (!!!) Oh, for the love of Digg... Clearly that's one stubborn baby. Guess the Bonnes did well to make sure that nobody found out what's hidden inside Bon's head compartment thingy. It's probably not for the faint of heart.

At least in canon, I see Tron as more the Bulma who would get her hands dirty except when against something clearly out of her league. Which, well, happens to be almost everything after the start of Z. To her credit though she did shoot the first Saiyan she encountered in the head several times; no one in the right mind would dare to such a thing.
I get this a lot lol. Though personally I simply imagine Bon being like Hoover/Baby-Head from Captain Commando; a regular (?) baby who just so happens to be able to pilot giant robots.
I mean come on, even I wouldn't go the morbid route so many seem to think...

Is anyone still here? Because it's Goofy UPDATE time.
So finally concluding Chapter 5 of RMDL.
Already fiddled with some deviation from the main story in the last chapters with Tron and Bon's fight moved around, though this one has a little more revealed with a new character and some 'minor' changes to the boss designs and fights.
With this chapter finished at last, would like to ask what you all think of these changes. Also speculate away!

Completing the home stretch for Chapter 5, eh? Recently just recapped Chapter 4 and the early part of 5 to catch up...
Personally, I don't mind a little bit of mix up with regards to the plot direction; it's what makes this manga stand out from Capcom's version of the tale and give it its own flavor. It also promotes opportunities to create new hypothetical scenarios behind the scenes that could coincide with the canon plot. Besides, I think it's better than just re-telling the entire plot of MML1 just like Disney did with the 2019 Lion King movie (except that all the changes made to that movie made it decidedly more soulless.) And with Art/Artillery in the picture, I'm sure we're probably going to see more of him someday (I'm just glad that he's finally got a more important role in this fic versus what we got of him in Legends 1.)
I wonder if there are going to be other, less predictable characters rising to prominence in the later chapters of RMDL (like that girl in green that's obsessed with climbing stuff; just kidding.) I knew that Art was supposed to have a greater role in the original story during development, so it was probably easier for him...
...As for the latest issue, if I were Rock, I'd just lay a bunch of mines in front of the door, quickly jump off, and wait for a hapless Servbot to trample over them, resulting in a large explosion and blasting open a huge gash in the Marlwolf's hull. Though, I don't believe he can switch between Special Weapons without Roll's help, can he still? Shoot. Alternatively though, Teisel might unleash those flying bomb things instead, ruining my version of the next scene... Still be pretty funny though:
"Previously on RMDL-"
(Shows a distant view of Clozer Woods with a huge explosion coming from the pit)

Oh, I heard all sorts of things about the "realistic" Lion King. Just glad I'm not going that route!
Artillery plays the rival in the concepts, though my guess is it was eventually cut as there was no room for a rivalry to fit into the gameplay at the time. But with a story format, I can have multiple story threads going on that cross with each other and don't have to worry too much about player POV and gameplay balance. Also because he's literally a blank slate save for appearance, he can be whatever fits the story (a.k.a. Fan Art?)
Still, there are key milestones in the story which MUST happen in a certain way, which means just a lot of filling in the blanks in between. More importantly, it has to look cool.
Speaking of that.
You can actually kick the bombs back inside the cockpit (or just shoot the Servbot and let them drop it back inside); thought it would be a fun nod to some actual less-obvious play methods.
Oh, Rock has access to every sub/special weapon in this version; it would be plan boring if he can't.
As for Teisel going Captain Harlock on Rock, how would that turn out?
IN THE YEAR 199X...
And then instead of Laputa in Waterworld, we get Bruce Lee in Mad Max.
Any crucial info I may have missed for them?

Did someone say, "fan ART?" (Sorry for the late reply, again.) When MML meets The Matrix (eh, sort of.) More info on this can be found in my gallery.

As far as that's concerned, I believe you've got everyone so far. The thing that perplexes me the most is seeing Joe and Matilda included in the character profile section. I know that they were referenced a few times during the series, but we never see them physically present. Perhaps alluding to a possible future flashback scenario of the day when Roll's parents decided to leave for Forbidden Island or to bring back more general childhood memories about her doing everyday things while they were still around for her? Would make a nice tie-in for Roll's character seeing as she's a competent mechanic who not only makes powerful and destructive weapons for Rock but also for herself but internally has this sweet, loving, and pitiable side as well. But as for a physical appearance of the two Casketts in RMDL, I'm having a hard time seeing that happen... Oh, Rock has access to every sub/special weapon in this version; it would be plan boring if he can't. Yesss.... can't agree more, honestly.
