In nearly every Mega Man game, Dr. Wily is captured at the end—usually after unleashing an army of killer robots and nearly destroying the world. And yet, by the next game, he’s back at it like nothing happened.
So what's the in-universe deal? Is the 20XX justice system just that incompetent or corrupt? Is there some official lore reason he's constantly released or escapes? Or are we just supposed to suspend disbelief for the sake of Saturday-morning logic?
Curious what theories or canon explanations people have!
Judging by how things work in our irl 20XX, I'm gonna guess that he has mad stacks if he can produce sentient fighting robots at the scale and speed he does. People with money like that don't go to jail. They're not the poors, duh. That would just be silly!
