Also, scenes showing a character getting hit in the groin were cut. In addition, swords are blurred, and scenes of MegaMan pointing his buster at the screen are removed in earlier seasons. For example, AquaMan's name was changed to SpoutMan in the English anime to avoid confusion with the DC Comics superhero of the same name.
Other inconsistencies between the English game and anime resulted from similarities in name to American superheroes. Among the more notable edits made was the editing out of words such as 'fire,' 'bomb,' and 'napalm,' which were thought to be inappropriate for younger viewers (especially post-9/11) as a result, the names of FireMan, ColorMan, BombMan, and NapalmMan also changed (while the original names were retained in the English games). The anime is for young children in Japan but like many English adaptations of other anime series, MegaMan NT Warrior is edited due to Americanization and censorship.

For example, there is no evidence showing that Lan and MegaMan were twin brothers in the anime, unlike in the games where it is revealed near the end of the first Battle Network game. Although the series originally remains fairly close to the original Battle Network in terms of storyline, it begins to diverge greatly partway into the series. Along with Lan are friends Maylu Sakurai, Dex Ogreon, Yai Ayano, Tory Froid, and their respective Navis: Roll, GutsMan, Glide, IceMan. The series focuses on Lan Hikari and his NetNavi, MegaMan.EXE as they build their friendship while dealing with threats from various NetCrime organizations. Despite common elements, the stories of the game, anime, and manga versions of the Battle Network series all diverge heavily from each other.
