may I have proof that Mega Man is bounded by the three laws of robotics.

[Megamangohan]

I do not know where in canon where it is proven that Mega Man cannot act outside the three laws of robotics, as stated as one of his weaknesses

I'm pretty sure this violates Rule 1. Although I guess he technically didn't directly hurt Wily, I don't think attacking a vehicle that a person is driving in counts as not doing or allowing harm to be done to a human.

 

[PaChi2]

That's a violation of the first rule. yup

"Die Wily!"

"Die Wily!"

thank you

@Megamangohan

In the Japanese ending of Mega Man 7, Mega has his buster pointed at Wily's face, but Wily points out that he can't shoot since that would be violating the Laws of Robotics. Mega Man falls silent and lowers his buster just as Bass comes to save Wily.

 

[Ryukama]

Yeah I definitely do not think Asimov's rules permit a robot to start using weapons on a car as a person is driving, even if they technically didn't end up hurting the person. Also if incapacitating Megaman was as simply as telling him to stop fighting than I'm pretty sure Wily would've done that by now. So far it seems like he isn't really bound by these rules.

I like the american version more... I never thought I would say that in my life.

 

[Megamangohan]

I like the american version more...

IF the japenese version is different, then I agree

Megaman jumped out of the way and let tha rubble land on Wily without trying to get it off of him though (at least not before standing there doing nothing for a few seconds then walking as slowly as possible). That kinda goes against the part of not allowing a human to come to harm through inaction. As well as not preserving your existence if it allows a human to come to harm.

Just in case you need a translation:

"Utsu no ka? Washi o utsu no ka? Kono washi o?! Roboto no omae ga ningen no kono washi o!"

Attack? You would attack me? Me?! You're a robot and I'm a human!

@Ryu

Hmm... that's a pretty good point.

Then again, Blues was designed to be the first independent robot. So it's not hard to believe that Rock would have similar programming.

 

[Megamangohan]

Well, If this debunks proof that Mega Man is bounded by these laws, I would like to have this weakness removed from the page.

 

[Ryukama]

Megaman was most likely going to kill Wily had he not been reminded of that "rule" and blatantly violated the parts of allowing Wily to come into harm through inaction and through preservation of his own life. On top of the fact that he pretty much violates the rule each time by attacking Wily's vehicals and Wily not being able to simply tell Megaman to stop fighting. I think all we have proof of is that he might loosely follow some parts of Rule 1.

 

[Megamangohan]

I think he has the choise to disobey the rule, but chooses not to. I would even compare it to Zero at the end of Mega Man 04, but that's a completly differently issue altogether.

 

[Ryukama]

"Dr. Wily once claimed that Megaman can't harm a human, prompting Megaman to spare him. This is likely a reference to Asimov's 3 Rules of Robots. However since he's violated these rules many times before including in that very scene (allowing harm through inaction), and that he would've killed Wily if he wasn't told that, it's most likely he only loosely follows this rule out of choice. And not by obligation."

Maybe something like this but worded a bit better would work.

 

[Reppuzan]

@Ryu

That would probably be best in a note rather than in the weakness section. I'd be perfectly fine with removing the weakness at this point.

 

[Ryukama]

Alright.

 

[Reppuzan]

I've made the changes.

 

[Ryukama]

Thank you.

 

[Megamangohan]

thank you as well

 

[Eficiente]

Mega Ma has Bayonetta's verse were her profile should be, also this should closed.

 

[Jesterofgames]

Well there is another law of robotics that would actually allow Megaman to hurt wily the zeroth law and it holds prioirty above the three other laws "A robot may not harm humanity, or, by inaction, allow humanity to come to harm." Basically since Willy is a threat To mankind as a whole he could have easily Let Willy be harmed due to said law. Not really an argument To keep the laws of robotics as a weakness Just an intresting fact.
