Shanghai.EXE: Genso Network is a PC fangame which crosses the gameplay of the Mega Man Battle Network series with the cast of Touhou Project and that was developed by Technodot.It follows the adventures of ordinary student Alice Shinki and her delinquent NetNavi Shanghai.EXE as they fight the evil ROM organization in a world where Everything Is Online. Its story borrows from multiple scenarios from the entire Battle Network saga.The game was shut down by Capcom on December 2018 just before it was completed due to using a donor-wall for betas but its leaked source code was built upon and translated to English by SHNecro, without Technodot's blessing. Capcom took the project down a second time while it was on GitHub, but once it was hosted at GitGud the admin of that site was able to talk with them and get a list of art assets that were directly lifted from the Battle Network games. Once those were changed to generic placeholders, Capcom finally let the game be.See Dream Force Hartmann for another MMBN + Touhou game... which was also targeted by Capcom in 2021 when its developer announced it was to be released on Steam for free (and this one didn't even have any lifted assets).

comment
The Queenpin: Shanghai runs a Yakuza-esque gang and has a lot of goons (over 200) under her thumb, as well as their operators, and she does employ their use on occasion. Her influence is wide enough to include her goons' NetOps (though her influence at Eien Town is still small to ask Alice to be careful around Mokou), even all the way at Engelles (though still not enough), and even at various companies, including Border Concern itself, for insider trading. She even has enough resources to buy Alice's current PC as a birthday gift, and set up Link Gates, which are usually expensive. That said, even she's not above reporting criminals to the police if they're beyond her or her gang's capabilities. If the Humor program dialogs can be trusted, she has a total of ten executives, each with 20 guys and a vice-exec, and each of those have... a lot.

Heal Thyself
 Shanghai.EXE: Genso Network (Video Game) / int_17761744
comment
Heal Thyself: In addition to the usual default, Anxious, and Full Synchro states, Shanghai has the Happy state that she enters after scoring a double or triple kill, which makes the next chip she uses restore one-third of her max HP. This means healing subchips aren't really needed as much - as long as you play well, they should be for emergencies only, or for immediately before boss fights. It also renders Recovery chips unnecessary if you're good enough. Your reward for the "Becoming A Navi" sidequest is the ChipCure AddOn, which heals 30 HP each time you use a BattleChip, but takes up 3 Cores and 4 GHz.

Defeat Means Friendship: Shanghai defeats Iku and Tenshi but realizes they were tricked and pressured by ROM to sabotage the school so Tenshi wouldn't also be bullied by her new classmates, so she defends the two from Reisen and Yorihime. After Yorihime is defeated by Shanghai, Reisen acknowledges both Alice and Shanghai as equals. Eirin asks Alice to befriend Reisen during the trip on the cruise ship, and Reisen doesn't mind hanging out or trusting Alice to help her fight ROM afterwards.

The Cameo
 Shanghai.EXE: Genso Network (Video Game) / int_1b65dfad
comment
The Cameo: There are two more Mega Man Zero chips other than the usual Z-Saber, all portraying a vaguely obscured Zero. Capcom sent takedown notices to the game over stuff like this, and the chips' art was changed to placeholder scribbles in a later update to avoid them. MegaMan.EXE, Bass.EXE and Serenade.EXE appear in posters at the Game Center. The latter two are next to cabinets of actual Battle Network arcade games that aren't mentioned by name. The Dark Program Advances are supposed to have icons that depict the final bosses of each main Battle Network installment, and the attacks themselves portray them in silhouette. The Dark Aura chip also depicts the Life Virus.

The Caper
 Shanghai.EXE: Genso Network (Video Game) / int_1b65eaf3
comment
The Caper: Once Alice goes to sleep in the cruise liner, Shanghai rounds up up to as many as two hundred of her goons at the Guest Room TV Comp, with more already carrying out their mission on-site to explain their mission. While she's drawing everyone's attention at the Exhibition NetBattle, her goons are to enact Operation Fill Containers With High-Class Food: pack as much cyber-food from the banquet tables as they can carry in "plastic" containers. She even ends it with an Evil Laugh. By the end of it, they were able to haul a year's worth of cyber-food for their own banquets, but it was washed away when Murasa starts messing with cruise liner's systems to crash the ship into a reef, which risks sinking all its passengers. Thankfully, the goons were able to salvage it all and reported as such as soon as Shanghai was through with the perpetrator.

comment
Hopeless with Tech: Downplayed, but an NPC in Class 2-1 mentions that a lot of the teachers are old, and thus, aren't very good with technology. During the attack on the school's systems, Ms. Koa asks for Alice and her friends (by this point, Mari, Rika, Remilia, and Tsubaki) to help out at the PC Room and Staff Room to protect the school's important backup files. While there are some younger teachers (Ms. Koa aside, who had been borrowing her sister's Navi before returning her), they're nowhere near as proficient in Virus Busting despite it being a subject taught in the school.

Last Lousy Point: Due to what's most likely an oversight in the latest build, one of the Dark Program Advances requires a DanmaGun coded P which doesn't exist within the game world. The only way to obtain one is via the Crimson Noise mechanic, but that's extremely unlikely to happen. ​

Mythology Gag
 Shanghai.EXE: Genso Network (Video Game) / int_26ac510e
comment
Mythology Gag: Alice retains her hobby of making dolls, though has extended to models as well. Her town is called Genso Town, named after Gensokyo, Touhou's primary setting. Rika does not own any tanks, but she has a Tank-themed Navi. Letty Whiterock, Cirno's Operator, poses as a technican from NineBall Appliances. Nineball is a nickname attributed to Cirno. TinyOni viruses resemble Suika Ibuki. FlaMeow viruses have two tails, likely a reference to the Nekomata Chen, or the Nekomata Rin, who also has a fire affinity. Chen herself appears as one of Yukari's Navis. They're also a reference to Rin Kaenbyou, a cat demon associated with fire. The BibitiBats are a reference to mooks from the PC-98 era. HatFrog resemble Suwako Moriya's hat. Yukari Yakumo is a CEO of the super-huge conglomerate Border Concern, the name being derived from what she serves as in the original Touhou; making sure the Great Barrier remains stable. And just like in canon, she supplies for Dr. Morichika. Ran and Chen serve as her Navis. Watatsuki no Yorihime, a manga-only character, is featured here as Reisen's Navi, another case of role reversal like with Koakuma and Patchouli. GelPak viruses are a form of Marisa's Mini-Hakkero, and their attack is almost identical to Marisa.EXE's NaviChip too. The pose Remilia is assuming during Medicine's attack on Genso University is reminiscent of her memetic "low block" sprite in the fighting games called Charisma Break. The EvilEye and Flower Tank viruses, which are also found in Rika's homepage, are references to her boss fights in Story of Eastern Wonderland. The EvilEyeΣs found over on Engelles's Yamaze Nadu Statue Comp even share the same color scheme as her "tank". Mari's room has a lot of chemistry and black magic books, as well as medicinal herbs, referencing Marisa's life in the Magical Forest. A Sprite in the School Library Database COMP mentions "Forbidden Scrollery", "Samurai Slayer", and "A Misfit Student (Me) Is Popular Online". One of Border Concern's newest products is the helper robot model named Shikigami... named just like how Yukari's familiars are labeled as. One NPC bemoans an idol named Mystia not showing up. This is a reference to Mystia Lorelei, a night sparrow,but she doesn't show up in this game. The Eien Area area is named after Eientei, the mansion where Reisen and Eirin (and some other people) live. Said mansion is right smack in the middle of The Bamboo Forest of the Lost (which a Navi NPC outright calls the place as), and that's where the area's theme comes from. The forest is full of bunnies, which is reflected by the Area's wallpaper. When SpannerMan outs Tsubaki as an anime fan, when Shanghai disses him for it, the NetOp defends "Wave Hero" as a gripping story, and mentions a "timid protagonist and his alien partner battle on EM waves". Keine is a teacher just like her canon iteration, and she's still known for her devastating headbutt against delinquents. Her Hakutaku form appears as Keine's Navi under the name HakuTakuMan.EXE. Instead of being a Bonus Boss or a high-ranking Net Agent, Reimu in this universe is tied to her old roots; a shrine maiden. Her shrine also has a yukkuri statue of herself. And her TortoiseMan is a reference to her turtle Genji in the PC-98 games. The Hakurei Shrine Comp's gimmick involves the Yin-Yang Orbs as keys. In one of the yukkuri statue Comps is a Purple Mystery Data holding the SloGauge Chip, as a reference to how laidback Reimu is in Touhou canon. All of Shanghai's Style Changes reference existing Touhou characters in their appearance: Fighter Style looks like Hong Meiling, Doctor Style looks like Eirin Yagokoro, Gaia Style looks like Suwako Moriya, Wing Style looks like Hatate Himekaidou, Shinobi Style looks somewhat like Toyosatomimi no Miko, and Witch Style looks somewhat like Byakuren Hijiri. Murasa is a ROM Navi encountered messing with the cruise liner controls in a bid to sink it, as a reference to her origins in Touhou canon as the Phantom of the Sea and her purpose in sinking ships. On top of being an Expy of Sherlock Holmes and John Watson, Engelles's famous detective novel Bifauxnen protagonist Yamaze Nadu and her Japanese partner Komachi are obviously based on Touhou's judge of the dead Eiki Shiki, Yamaxanadu, and the shinigami Komachi Onozuka. Beyondard, the destination of ROM's goal, is a reference to the very same dimension in Rockman.EXE Beast. Yumeko, the strongest of Shinki's subjects in Touhou canon, appears as the Flowerbed Comp Sprite who desires to become Shinki's Navi, and achieves that wish thanks to the Reincarnation Program delivered by Alice and Shanghai. In fact, Shinki intended to use this name for Alice before settling with the Western name. Yuuka Kazami appears as a florist, befitting her connection to flowers in canon. Her workplace, Mugenkan Incense Cafe and Florist, is named after Mugenkan, the mansion she lived in during the PC-98 games. Turns out that Lloyd (named Troid in the Japanese version and later English versions), Alice's father used to be married to another woman, and their daughter was named Rebecca Marga. Both reference Margatroid, Alice's surname in Touhou canon. It's also revealed that Mama Shinki's first name is Mayumi, which isn't actually a reference to Mayumi Joutouguu, as this fan game was made before the game Joutouguu debuted was released. After Yukari Yakumo flies the coop in the aftermath of her being discovered as a collaborator with ROM, the substitute president is Maribel Hearn, who in the Touhou fanon is seen to have plenty of visual ties with Yukari. In the game, she's also her niece, and just like in canon, she and Renko are best friends. The ROM base, much like the WWW base in Mega Man Battle Network 3: White and Blue, features a waterfall of toxic sludge, a skull-shaped decoration at the top, and an enemy navi attacking you with a themed tank.

Invisible Wall: We get a justification for these in the Cyber World after the School Comp electric incident when Medicine jumps off to escape the NetAgents, beyond the invisible safety railing is the Data Sea, a torrent of countless data whose raging currents will tear most Navis to bits. That said, she manages to survive it somehow and get washed up at the last place in her access history: Genso University. There, Yamame finds her, treats her, and takes her in as her Navi.

Bonus Dungeon: The Sunken Ship Computer, which is infested with undead Sprites that attack Shanghai when talked to. The still-living ones that carry keys can be identified by how they look away into the distance. A souped-up Autoroid-like being called Zoanroid (a.k.a. NetNavis from Beyondard who got corrupted by Gregar or Falzar into being their footsoldiers) awaits as the area's boss. The overheated Hospital Computer in which Shanghai must race between healing spots while losing HP to save Satori's life. Unlike the previous bonus dungeon, it does have a proper unique boss in Utsuho.

Randomly Drops: The Crimson Noise AddOn, in reference to Mega Man Star Force 3, changes chip rewards from S ranks to be completely random. Bosses have their own table of rewards, which is the regular way of getting their chips, but Crimson Noise may give navi chips from regular battles, and from bosses the player hasn't even encountered yet. And of course, this mechanic is the only way to obtain the delicious Illegal versions of various chips.

Sherlock Scan: While Alice is trying to figure out how to get a stealth plane for infiltrating ROM's HQ, she runs into Wriggle, who came in an incognito flight since Japan is under national emergency. Thanks to being a Yamazian, Wriggle then deduces that Alice is involved in a very serious incident by way of the following. Alice has been running hard, but has time to talk to Wriggle, so she isn't being hunted. Therefore she's hunting for something. Wriggle deduces that it has to be ROM since Alice doesn't seem to be the type to go after regular criminal organizations, her skills lie on NetBattling, and ROM's public declaration of war could not be a coincidence. Wriggle can see Alice's phone screen showing a list of next-gen stealth jet fighters, but since she's running place-to-place, what she's looking for can't be found in an encyclopedia. Therefore, Alice is looking for a stealth system not announced to the world. And turns out Wriggle had come to Japan in a stealth plane called the Incognito.

Surprisingly Realistic Outcome: Despite Shanghai being an absolute beast in NetBattle, she can do nothing to help Alice when she sees Wriggle being harassed by an English thug, and neither of them have any reliable means to take him on. Fortunately, Shanghai is also a mob boss, and is able to call up one of her goons' NetOps Richard (a man larger than that thug) to scare him off with his own brand of (gay) harassment.

What makes it this trope is that the ship is open to the public while security upgrades are being implemented. This is mainly just to ensure that the Comps there aren't a case of One-Time Dungeon.

Would Hurt a Child: Just for payback for what Shanghai did, Mokou is willing to set PyroMan into the Hakurei Shrine Comp and set it on fire, knowing full well that Reimu might've been there when things started burning. Not to mention that Alice is a kid herself. Even Shanghai is pissed that Mokou didn't just face her straight on, and for that she deletes PyroMan. Turns out she also stole the Holy Program from the Shrine to ROM, though she doesn't officially join them, and hopes for payback against Shanghai. Tarakhan takes things even further. In Engelles, he confronts Alice with a gun and threatens her to give him a pendant, planning to rough her up purely because she ran when he chased her. Once that attempt fails, he opts to instead kidnap Alice's friend Wriggle (actually a princess in disguise) with the intention of using them as a hostage to get the pendant from Alice. And after he successfully obtains it, he intends to try and execute Wriggle anyway.

While she boasts about her ability to do this, Chen's simple attack pattern proves that just because you can doesn't mean you can do it well. As Shanghai says, she's only got two hands. Both of them can be fought in rematches later solo, and with better movesets without Yukari having to split her focus between the two of them.

Crazy-Prepared: Reisen carries things like a shaped plastic explosive charge, which she uses to blast open an electronically locked door when ROM attacks the cruise liner, and a disassembled ATM-78 Personal Rocket Artillery, for dealing with Shikigami robots that wish to apprehend her and Alice. That said, the latter is one-upped by Yukari's electromagnetic barrier in her office desk. Reisen one-ups that by having an armor-piercing round ready (despite rockets being armor-piercing by default), only for Yukari to proclaim that she has a lot of Shikigami headed their way, and Reisen surely doesn't have enough ammo to deal with them all, thus requiring Reisen to Hold the Line against them while Shanghai finds a way to disable the barrier. And when it's revealed that Reisen can deal with all of Yukari's Shikigami, turns out Yukari also has teleportation technology. After a Plot-Mandated Friendship Failure, when Shanghai hears that Alice is in physical trouble, on top of having goons to locate her, Shanghai copied her folder to her memory data, allowing her to use Chips, though SubChips and folder editing will be unavailable as those things require Alice's input, thus making you rely on Happy status multi-kill healing, or Recovery chips while travelling, with Henchie serving as a healing spot at the starting point of the incident. Maribel Hearn, Yukari Yakumo's niece and company successor, has always anticipated that her aunt would suddenly up and leave, forcing Maribel to take the reins, and was already studying business before finding herself as CEO. That said, she isn't prepared enough to pierce through her aunt's ROM-derived protections locking access to the company's secretary Navi, so she posts on the Request Board for help in this matter.

Foolish Sibling, Responsible Sibling: In contrast to the Foolish Lan and Responsible MegaMan, Shanghai is the Irresponsible one, while her Operator Alice is the one trying to keep her in line. That said, given the risks Alice put herself in (risking frostbite, and dousing herself in water in order to take the heat while the Hakurei Shrine is on fire), Alice might be a tad reckless herself. By the way, the siblings trope isn't just used here for comparing the canon BN cast; in this setting, Shanghai is Alice's half-sister.

 Shanghai.EXE: Genso Network (Video Game) / int_61459062
comment
Perception Filter: All Navis have one set up on themselves to hide from SP Viruses, but they can eventually grow strong enough to overcome it. Accepting SP Virus Missions will disable that filter on Shanghai for a specific SP Virus that needs culling. Also, When unlocking a P-Cube with a P-Code, it doesn't actually disappear altogether, only to the Code possesser; everyone else without the P-Code will still see the P-Cube. The third dungeon (the Blackboard COMP) has this as a gimmick when Alice and her friends jack in their Navis. Due to their access rights as students being scrambled by the ROM Agent of this arc, Shanghai (and the player by extension), Sakuya, TankMan, and SpannerMan are seeing different paths, and have to fix everyone's access rights separately.

Nintendo Hard: The game is kind to provide players with firepower but is clearly designed for people already experienced with the Mega Man Battle Network series. There will be bosses with a ton of HP and major difficulty spikes from out of nowhere as well as optional challenges like the powerful virus bounties, so you'd better learn how to quickly deal loads of damage at any situation.

The Reveal: Not unlike the twist from the original Battle Network, Shanghai is the combination of the DNA and memories of Rebecca Marga, Lloyd's other deceased daughter from his first wife (also deceased, making Mayumi Shinki his second wife, whom he met after wandering aimlessly in the aftermath of the aforementioned deaths by mountain rockfall), and the body of a dying girl from Beyondard who washed up on Earth. Lloyd had asked an acquaintance who had researched the cyberworld to treat the child, and they essentially mixed it all together, and Shanghai was "born". And Shanghai was aware of this, and kept it hidden from Alice.

One-Hit-Point Wonder: The Dead Body AddOn reduces Shanghai to 1 HP but boosts the limit on GHz by 20 and the one on Cores by 5, which are absolutely enormous boosts and possibly much more than a player can actually use. According to internet rumor reported on the Undernet board, there was a Navi who was formidable in battle due to his usage of Dead Body, almost as if he had two full sets of attack and utility AddOns. Unfortunately, he got himself deleted by stepping on a poison panel. In the White Heaven area, you can meet his deceased soul, where he is stewing in regret over his failure. You can fight him by having your current HP be at 1, and as advertised, he only has one HP in battle, although he's invulnerable until you delete all his viruses. After you defeat him, his regret is eased due to seeing someone perfect his 1 HP strategy, letting him depart to the afterlife and leaving behind the Number Trade number for the Dead Body AddOn in the process.

Disk One Nuke: The Program Advances for the basic cannon and sword chips can be acquired very early as usual. The Number Trader can yield very nice stuff as soon as it's available if you already know the codes or look them up. In this game, Dark Chips replace Giga Chips and don't have their usual drawbacks other than disabling double damage from Full Synchro and Anger. You get one, Dark RayGun, surprisingly early into the story. Dark RayGun deals 250 damage plus a boost equal to Shanghai's lost health.

Crippling Overspecialization: Kumami's Navi Patchouli is extremely good at data processing, but is useless in NetBattle to the point that she can't use Battle Chips. She's also small enough data-wise (just 6.9 Megabytes) to be able to be sent via email. For reference, her leitmotif in WAV form is three times larger.

MacGuffin: Shanghai finds some special compressed data early on, but she couldn't decompress it herself, so she held onto it. During a data checkup by Ms. Asakura after she heard of Alice's NetBattle against Cirno, she finds this data on Shanghai, and recommends bringing it to Dr. Morichika to find out what it is. From what he discovered, it seems to be data meant to be installed in a Navi, but there's a final step that requires being near some sort of "key" to activate. Upon encountering the Navi who has it, after fighting his viruses, it's revealed that the data is the Style Memory, and the key (proximity was enough) unlocked the means to StyleChange, all the way from Battle Network 3. Another one comes in the form of Wriggle's pendant, when, in pre-0.503e2 version, it was accidentally dropped and retrieved by Alice, which lands her in trouble with a thug named Tarakhan who wants it. Shanghai comes to her NetOp's rescue, but he returns with a vengeance the next day by holding Wriggle ransom in exchange for the pendant, setting the meeting place at the Engelles Clock Tower, and activating security to further stall Alice. Fortunately, with timely help from Reisen, Wriggle and the pendant are recovered, but not only does Tarakhan manage to get away, the pendant turns out to be a storage device for the Earth program, and Tarakhan's managed to download it and later hand it over to ROM.

During the hostage situation at the Engelles Clock Tower Balcony, Lord Tarakhan reveals that Wriggle is actually Wrigelle Nightsburg Insector, and next in line to the throne, revealing Alice's new friend not only to be female, which is obvious in version 0.503e2, if you talk to her and pick the non-battle option at the hotel, but a princess to boot. As Alice is straight (in an aversion of Touhou fanworks' typical Cast Full of Gay policy), she's massively disappointed after getting over the shock:

When he went to turn in the file, he had seen a gate a lot like the Beyondard gate Shanghai ordered her goons to destroy. He had only been allowed to see it because they were going to delete him anyway and sicced viruses on him.

Inventory Management Puzzle: The AddOn Manager is the game's equivalent of the Navi Customizer for powering up Shanghai. Each program costs GHz and possibly a colored Core. Only one of each color can be used at once. And unlike the NaviCust, one cannot break the rules and result in bugs. The purple Cores are special because they raise the inventory's limits at the cost of inflicting debuffs on you, ranging from manageable ones like reducing your HP by 100 or causing your buster to not work sometimes, to "Statue" where Shanghai can't move at all.

But the Black Navi incident caused a lot of upheaval, and threw many of their operations into chaos. They took that as a betrayal, and tipped off a NetAgent. And given that Yakuza is all about organized crime, random chaos naturally wasn't in their best interests.

Lost Food Grievance: When Murasa ends up washing away all the cyber-food her goons looted from the banquet while she distracted everybody in the Exhibition NetBattle against BeetleMan during her mission to sink the ship, Shanghai is extremely pissed, and Murasa ends up being the third ROM Navi to be outright deleted by her. That said, her "remains" haunt Engelles Area 1, so she can have payback on Shanghai in a way, and she's monstrously hard.

Status Infliction Attack: Each element is associated with statuses like getting blinded, poisoned or slowed down. In the World UnderSquare, there is a hostile HeelNavi named Buyer that specializes on the Blind Leaf chip that is guaranteed to blind the opponent (unless you're on Witch style). Upon defeat, he gets so terrified of Shanghai that he hands out five of them to Shanghai — the only ones that can be obtained in the game, in fact.

Shout-Out
 Shanghai.EXE: Genso Network (Video Game) / int_c75df49a
comment
Shout-Out: TankMan.EXE originates from the Mega Man Unlimited fan game. During Alice's first encounter with Reisen, she mentions that "a terrorist disguised as a student recently shot a government official", hence her overly brutal behavior against a few punks earlier to the point of wanting to shoot them but not being able to indoors. Combined with her mecha and its optical camouflage, it's all a reference to Full Metal Panic!. SpannerMan.EXE could be a reference to the Genex Ally archetype. Nekku Tsubaki himself turns out to be a reference to the hot-blooded Soul Battler Takeshi, rival to Mr. Famous and host of Capcom's NetBattle tournaments PyroMan.EXE is based on the Chakkaman series of lighters. He even has a "chakakaka" tic. He's also visually reminiscent of Morphtronic Datatron's original look. BeetleMan.EXE is based on Gravity Beetle from Mega Man X3. ScissorMan.EXE is based on Deathtanz Mantisk from Mega Man Zero 3. He happens to be fought in a Clock Tower. There's a Nekodolphin plush in Tenshi's house. The PoisonLily virus family is based on the various Lily enemies from Phantasy Star Online. The DunBeetle family of viruses are based on mecha from Aura Battler Dunbine and its spin-off The Wings of Rean. The AuraSword Battle Chips they drop, in turn, are based on an attack unique to their appearances in Super Robot Wars. The SP variant of the Juraigon viruses is called Ratholas, a reference to the iconic Monster Hunter monster Rathalos. The SP variant of the MasLigr virus has a color scheme reminiscent of EVA Unit-02. Reisen is pretty much a whole plot reference to Full Metal Panic!. The G7-Curtis is a homage to the M6 Bushnell with the M9's camo, Reisen's story takes a lot more from Sousuke Sagara. Eien Town has a statue of "Lord Usa, the Loyal Rabbit", whose tale essentially mimics Hachiko's of having "waited his whole life for his master who died in a war to return." Three PunkNavis you fight in a sidequest are named Rusty, Clay, and Moore, which is a reference to the Rusty Claymore. The cruise liner's ship exhibition has references to several Gundam shows. Engelles's famous detective novel Bifauxnen protagonist Yamaze Nadu, with her Japanese partner Komachi are obvious expies of Sherlock Holmes and John Watson. One Sprite in the Nadu statue's Comp even says the author wanted people to read his historical novels despite his detective novels being beloved worldwide, just like Arthur Conan Doyle. There's also an archnemesis named Professor Sylio Kuro, a clear expy of Moriarty with a climax at a waterfall where the protagonist seemingly died. Lord Tarakhan's Navi ScissorMan.EXE is based on Deathtanz Mantisk from Mega Man Zero 3

Missing Mission Control: Alice gets separated from Shanghai twice, once by reasons explained in Plot-Mandated Friendship Failure, and once while checking out Border Concern's servers, when they barely even started before a Shikigami stuns and abducts her. This leaves Shanghai having to handle things by herself, though thankfully she can still use BattleChips, what she can't do however is change Chip Folders or use SubChips. Regarding the second one, this turns out to have also applied for Reisen when she came in for questioning, and unlike Shanghai, Yorihime was isolated to the terminal she was in.

From the Mouths of Babes: Sagume invokes this trope as the reason she's asking Alice, a middle schooler, for help with finding a way to break into ROM's HQ, which is heavily defended with artillery support, radar systems, and air coverage. Sagume and the rest of the NetAgents are stuck, so she's just blindly, offhandedly hoping Alice knows a way to get in (thankfully, she does eventually find a way in).

Big Damn Heroes: When Medicine is about to drown Shanghai in poison clouds after their boss battle, Marisa's Magic Missiles blow them up before she arrives herself. While not necessary, when a trio of Punk Navis try to gang up on Alice's Shanghai and Nekku Tsubaki's SpannerMan after a two-on-two, Reisen's Yorihime comes in from behind and deletes the Punks in an instant. While Iku paralyses Shanghai, Sakuya and TankMan destroy both generators that empower her after they were thought to have been deleted by DruidMan. The two were saved by Yorihime, who then tries to capture and torture the defeated Iku while the misguided Tenshi pleads for her life. Shanghai, her circle of friends and all the other classmates stand in Iku's defense until Reisen decides to withdraw Yorihime for the time being. When Yorihime refuses to believe Medicine has reformed and tries to execute her, Shanghai blocks her blade in the nick of time. Reisen comes to Alice and Wriggle's aid after Tarakhan was about to execute the latter via gunshot, and is revealed to have climbed the tower from the outside, thus avoiding the security systems. The final dungeon is an endless cascade of these. After Alice decides to go to the ROM base alone due to not wanting to endanger her friends, her friends come anyways to save her and Shanghai from several successive obstacles.

Instead of being a Bonus Boss or a high-ranking Net Agent, Reimu in this universe is tied to her old roots; a shrine maiden. Her shrine also has a yukkuri statue of herself. And her TortoiseMan is a reference to her turtle Genji in the PC-98 games. The Hakurei Shrine Comp's gimmick involves the Yin-Yang Orbs as keys. In one of the yukkuri statue Comps is a Purple Mystery Data holding the SloGauge Chip, as a reference to how laidback Reimu is in Touhou canon.

Decomposite Character: Marisa Kirisame is used for the setting as Mari Morichika, her Navi Marisa.EXE and her actual mother Marisa, who works overseas and doesn't appear in the story at all. Then there's Koakuma's derivatives Ms. Kumako Koa the schoolteacher, and her elder sister Kumami Koa the "rich adventurer" and Battle Chip shop merchant.

The Internet Is an Ocean: The Data Sea, a torrent of countless data whose raging currents will tear most Navis to bits, which is literally underlying the digital networks that Navis walk upon.

Great Offscreen War
 Shanghai.EXE: Genso Network (Video Game) / int_f722f635
comment
Great Offscreen War: Before the story began, most world superpowers such as Eurica and Biet operated drone control systems, which ended up hacked and taken over by evil scientists, who used them to ravage the world. They also engaged in cyber warfare, resulting in the Cyber Wars, which crippled many great nations, though Japan got out of it mostly unscathed thanks to not using drones at the time. In the end, the Cyber Wars destroyed all computer networks, which sparked a series of riots later called the Internet Armageddon. Humanity realized its reliance on networks, as the pain of losing them was too much to bear, and thus they sought new networks. Their wish was granted by Dr. Rinnosuke Morichika, who had proposed the Cyberworld Theory as a solution, and he eventually created a new network, the one in the present.

The ROM base, much like the WWW base in Mega Man Battle Network 3: White and Blue, features a waterfall of toxic sludge, a skull-shaped decoration at the top, and an enemy navi attacking you with a themed tank.

Our Sirens Are Different: Whatever their version of a Siren is, which probably matches our own, since this is an Alternate History, they're connected to water, being used as both the name of a cruise ship and a water-element focused chip folder.

Encounter Bait: In addition to the usual Encounter Repellant FireWall, there's the OpenPort for this, though it's unnecessary given the already high encounter rate, unless you're using it in tandem with VirusScn to get specifically the last enemy seen.
