Deep in the dark recesses of the UnderNet, Forte sleeps as he drifts aimlessly. In this cybernetic graveyard, a pulsating power re-awakens Forte, alerting him to a dangerous being shortly ahead. A haunting face appears amidst a massive bright purple blob, laughing directly at Forte. Cursing him, Forte finds himself powerless as the blob takes form, and captures him within its grasp!
Nearing the time of sunset, a peaceful city and its people go about their everyday business. Curious bystanders on a sidewalk glimpse a shimmering purple light, which suddenly expands into tall pillar that reaches up to the sky. Screams erupt from the people as the pillar of light takes flight, absorbing everything in its destructive path. A tower clock dings the hour of 4 o'clock as the pillar desintigrates, leaving behind a trail of cybernetic residue and utter emptyness.

Where it came from
Rockman.EXE: Program of Light and Darkness was released in 2005 as a theatrical feature derived from the popular Mega Man Battle Network franchise. Produced by XEBEC and distributed by TV Tokyo, the film served to capitalize on the sustained popularity of the game series and its concurrent television anime adaptation, which had successfully reinvented the classic video game character for a younger, tech-focused generation.
The film was designed to bridge the aesthetic gap between the fast-paced action of the handheld games and the more narrative-driven structure of long-form animation. The creative team focused on high-stakes digital conflict, utilizing character designs that mirrored the established television look while expanding the scope for cinema. It was received primarily as a celebratory event for existing fans of the franchise, emphasizing the core themes of the digital bond between a human operator and their NetNavi.
