  You actually missed one reference in Zero 1; the moment you get control of Zero, head all the way to the left.  On the wall you will see the emblem for Sigma, which was most likely used as the danger symbol to warn that the Maverick Virus was inside.

  Megaman EXE:<br>I receive: Your sword<br>You receive: A bunch of viruses I dont want to deal with.

  God, Zero&apos;s final quote vs Weil always sends chills down my spine for exactly that reason. Narrative beauty, that. He finally figured out what he was fighting for.

  Bro Elpizo using Iris&apos;s last words against Zero is so messed up and this is right after he destroys his best friend&apos;s body

  Elpizo&apos;s line goes even deeper because the end credits theme, Awakening Will actually has a version with Lyrics, Clover, and it actually also references Iris, with Zero struggling to &quot;Remember the name of that flower&quot; so its very possible Elpizo awakened a deep memory when he said that

  You can say that Harpuia Fefnir and Phantom were not only created with X&apos;s DNA but also with the Falcon Gaia and Shadow armors as templates

  A fun little reasoning for all of Zero 3&apos;s callbacks to the earlier games, is that Zero 3 was originally intended as the &apos;end&apos; of the Zero series, hence why so many questions about Zero are brought up and answered then and there, with X finally fading at the end, and leaving the world to Zero, after revealing that the Mother Elf was finally freed. It&apos;s also easily why the final battle against Omega takes place within the ruins of the same lab that Zero was sealed away in, in Zero 1, to further connect the trilogy together, ending where it began.<br><br>It&apos;s immense success....at least in regards to Megaman games, prompted Capcom to push for one last game, hence why Zero 4 goes out of it&apos;s way to finally end things fully.

  As a side note, in Megaman ZX you can find an E-Tank from the classic Megaman Series.

  The abandoned Repliforce submarine is such a great detail. They have to be one of my favorite group of Mega Man antagonists because of how fleshed out they are, like spiral Pegasus and burn dinorex also being a part of it in later games.

  Im honestly shocked characters like Sigma, Vile, Iris or even some of the other maverick Hunter characters like Alia, Axl, Signas, Iris or even Colonel never had any named mentions by X or Zero in the Zero series. Most of those characters had the biggest impacts in their lives and they never really talk about it. Actually what ever happened to Dr Light or Dr Wily. We never find out what happened to the Light hologram after the X serious nor is it mentioned if he made Copy X’s Ultimate Armor (assuming X used to own that version of the Ultimate Armor) and for Wily it’s pretty obvious he’s still alive in a similar way to Dr Light (he’s possibly Serges and Isoc), Sigma constantly mentioned him in x5 in a boss fight. Like Light and Wily are two loose ends we never got in the series at All and it’s not confirmed if Light and Wily are even around by the Zero era

  That’s why that one level in Zero 4 felt like a farewell. The X5 credits music remix. Wow - I didn’t catch that at all.
