Uncle Megaman?

[megadude v 2.0]

You know you think of the
craziest things at ten o'clock at night.
I was just thinking about how Roll and
Megaman were related. Then it came to
me. If Barrel adopted Megaman, then
wouldn't that make Megaman Roll's
uncle? Just a crazy thought that sorta
makes sense if you think about it.
Maybe I shouldn't drink milk before bed ;D.

[Buster Cannon]

Well in a way it would, but I don't know if Barell raised MegaMan as a son or a grandson.

[JMC47]

It matters, you can adopt someone as a grandson, and the fact the MegaMan calls him gramps should be enough evidence that he is Barrels adopted grandson

[Dashe]

Was Mega Man even legally adopted? If not, then that doesn't make him Roll's uncle. I can't quite remember if it was the manual that said that Barrell adopted him or if it was in the game somewhere, but if it was in that manual...well, I'm sure you all know how that little booklet is with their mistakes.

[GustaffGlyde]

It always says that Barrel raised him with his granddaughter, and since he was called Volnutt in the first game he may never have been adopted, just raised by Barrel. As for calling Barrel gramps, it’s probably just because he is old.

[JMC47]

Are you insulting my conjecture... ;D. You're probably right, but come on, Volnutt is such a lame last name, maybe Roll was trying to get him beat while he grew up and instead of having him MegaMan caskett, they named him MegaMan Volnutt, or worse, they were afraid that he would embarrass them so they gave him a different last name so they could denie knowing him...

I don't think the Manual has any kind of answer for this, This is another one of those thing where we have to arhue until everyonebut me gives up agrees.

[megadude v 2.0]

well, I think that he calls Barrel gramps because:

1 he grew up with Roll calling Barrel gramps

2 it's a term of affection

Yes, and we all know how much MM and Barrel… uh, never mind… I’m twisting terms again. But really, it's just a term. Some people call all old men 'gramps'.

As for why they gave MM a last name is a bit of a mystery. You’d think they’d give him the same one as them.

Maybe it was Banner’s last name. Remember, Casket is Barrel’s last name. Roll’s mom is Barrel’s daughter, meaning she was Matilda Casket. In a usual marriage, the woman takes on the man’s last name, meaning whatever Banner’s last name was would be hers.

In other words, Volnutt could be Banner’s last name and they just gave it to MM because… well… because… maybe Barrel gave MM to Roll’s parents to raise. MM is 14 and Roll’s parents were lost ten years from MML2, so he would be around. This is just one explanation, though I don’t know why Roll wouldn’t take on her father’s last name.

Maybe roll wanted to distance herself from the loss of her parents so she changed her name, but MM didn’t care so he left it as is.

[Shelldragon]

I've also thought plenty on this, but regardless of he's supposed to be an uncle or a brother to Roll.. I believe by law he is related to her in which case it is EW EWEW GROSS ICKY that they would ever have romantic inclinations.

[Buster Cannon]

That could make sense. If they were related, Capcom should have done what they did in the original series and made just as a brother and sister, nothing more. I guess this means Megaman is going with Tron.

[megadude v 2.0]

WELLLLLLLLLL, actually cousins used to marry and in the beginnig of the bible brother and sister had to marry(i think).

[GustaffGlyde]

Yup, that they did, but back then it was okay. The reason being the gene pool wasn’t like it was today. Today, if you and sis/bro decided to have a baby, chances are he’d end up with some deformity (the closer you are in relation, the more chance of deformities, and the further you are the less chance. Hence why distant cousins can get married safely).

It isn’t really a “gross” thing, it’s just to prevent deformed babies. Of course, we think of it as gross because we have been taught that way so as to prevent it from happening. Of course, I doubt anyone really wants to marry their siblings anyway... at least I'd hope as much...

Still, I doubt they’d ever pair up Roll and MM or Tron and MM. They’ll hint at one or the other, but I’d doubt they’ll ever make a final decision (besides, BRG would probably kill them if they didn’t let her have MM, not to mention BM 1-3 has his eye(s) on Roll (hey, he could be a pirate… you never know. Assassin pirate ninja… I’ll shut up now…)).

Well, I’ll stick with my theory for now and just wait for someone else to propose new one.

a not sure but i do know he snuck in to the ruans and got him when they told him it is iliguial to go in.

[Notmyname]

The booklet says that tesiel is trons father two, so, yeah.

[GustaffGlyde]

Heh, yeah. It says first that Teisel is Tron’s father and then in TMoTB it says Tron is older than Teisel… so Tron is older than Teisel but Teisel is her father... never trust the booklets. (They also said Bon was a bomb...)

But, what Fade says is true. Barrel snuck into the Nino Ruins where he found MM. Instead of asking someone about it, he just snuck MM and Data out because he didn’t want to be caught, which would probably result in the suspension of his license and a nice little fine and he didn’t want to leave the baby behind. How he snuck in is beyond me as the entrance to the ruin is a giant manhole in the center of Ruminoa. I guess he went in at night but still… how did he… ah, it doesn’t matter.

Of course, this doesn’t answer the question of what Barrel did with MM regarding adoption…
