This article covers the third series of the MegaMan NT Warrior anime series, known in Japan as Rockman EXE Stream (ロックマンエグゼストリーム, Rokkuman Eguze Sutorīmu). Like Axess, Stream consists of only one part with 51 episodes. Currently, there are no plans for an English adaptation of the series, but they did reuse some background elements in MegaMan Star Force.
Stream premiered in Japan on October 2, 2004, exactly one week after Axess concluded. It ran until September 24, 2005. Midway through the series, the 50-minute feature film Rockman EXE: Program of Light and Dark premiered in Japanese theaters on March 12, 2005. The movie would directly connect with the events in Stream and is necessary for understanding the full plot of the series.
The title Stream is meant to describe the flow of one storyline into the next, and this holds true as Stream picks up immediately where Axess left off. In relation to the Mega Man Battle Network video games, Stream uses many prominent characters and concepts from Battle Network 5, though it still borrows elements from various previous Battle Network titles, especially Battle Network 4.

Bass reappears and now infused with the power of Nebula Grey,[2] he deletes Slur. Meanwhile, Dr. Regal gains access to Duo's power and begins his attack on Earth, but Duo kills him before beginning the erasure of Earth. The CrossFusion Members travel to Duo's comet, avoiding demise as the Earth vanishes. They confront Duo, begging him to reverse the erasure, but Duo cannot comprehend their pleas, having more interest in CrossFusion instead, a technology similar to his own race's. Baryl then offers to let Duo absorb him so that Duo may understand CrossFusion better, and in return, Earth can be spared. Duo agrees and Baryl makes his sacrifice, returning Earth to normal. Lan then receives a transmission from a very elderly Baryl to reassure everyone that he is fine and peace is finally restored. Back at a restored and repaired Earth, Lan, Maylu, FyreFox, and Chaud throw a fireworks party to celebrate, Charlie and Tesla go on a cruise, Ms. Yuri returns to Ms. Mari's apartment, Dingo returns to his village, Jasmine goes back to her grandfather's home, Raika receives a warm welcome from his pet dog (from Axess), Princess Pride has a photo of Episode 44's vacation framed and put in her office, and Dusk celebrates with World Three at the curry shop. | |||||
The Program of Light and Darkness
editThere is no official confirmation on the movie's exact placement in Stream's storyline. However, because of Dex and Dingo's appearance in the movie, it most likely occurs shortly after episode 22 in which the boys move to DenTech City, but not after episode 29 when elements from the movie begin appearing in the series, specifically those concerning Baryl and Colonel.

Beams of light are tearing through cities all over the world, deconstructing anything they touch into network data. Dr. Hikari recognizes this as the dreaded "Spectrum" program, and he commands Lan to quickly rush and destroy something called the "Tadashi Hikari" program. As MegaMan rushes to do so, Bass assaults him, but Colonel intervenes. The destruction of the program is interrupted when a large beast named Nebula Grey appears and absorbs it, causing the NetNavis to retreat. Just then, the Spectrum beams tear through an amusement park, deconstructing many of Lan's friends. Dr. Regal reappears, having transformed into a data being after his demise with LaserMan in Axess, and plans to extract the programming written on Dr. Hikari's retinal pattern, completing Spectrum and transforming the planet into network data. Lan, Chaud, and Raika work together to infiltrate a Netopian army base where Dr. Regal goes through with his plan, and Lan encounters a man named Baryl who claims to be Colonel's NetOp. MegaMan jacks-in to the core of the program to stop Regal, and Bass also appears. In a pinch, MegaMan sacrifices his Ultimate Program to Bass, hoping he can defeat Nebula Grey with it. The resulting fusion creates BassCross MegaMan, a being that obliterates Nebula Grey and spoils Regal's plan. The military base begins to crumble, and Bass absorbs Nebula Grey's power for himself. The NetSavers and Dr. Hikari escape, but Baryl remains behind, uttering the reassuring claim that he is "immortal." Everything deconstructed by Spectrum returns to normal, and peace is restored. | ||||
