Mega Man Zero VA Casting
Jim Martin for Copy X (Whoever is chosen for this role, will also play Cyber-Elf X)
Copy X is a perfect replica of the original X, created to rule Neo Arcadia in his absence. However, unlike the compassionate and wise original, Copy X is a misguided tyrant who believes absolute control is the only path to peace. Though he sees himself as a just and righteous ruler, his rigid, authoritarian mindset and lack of true understanding lead him to oppress Reploids in the name of order.
He is arrogant, self-righteous, and deeply insecure—despite his immense power, he constantly seeks validation, unable to accept that he is inferior to the real X. When confronted, his calm and calculated demeanor can quickly unravel, revealing an unstable and desperate need to prove himself.
Extra notes -
-Copy X should sound like someone who wants to be seen as noble and just but lacks the true wisdom to back it up.
-His voice should contrast with Zero’s—where Zero is calm and collected, Copy X should feel more self-important, as if he’s above everyone else. Compared to Zero's deeper voice, Copy X should be a bit on the lighter side/middle range.
-In his final moments, his voice should have a sense of disbelief and desperation, unable to accept his failure.

We meet at last, Zero. I've been looking forward to this moment.
No... A perfect copy of the original X. The new hero who saved the human race from this wasted world. Didn't you notice...? The humans have found happiness more than ever before... The utopia that humans have searched for, is here in Neo Arcadia. This is something that you and the original X could never create... Only I could do this!
Ha ha ha. You are so funny... It's been fun... Now, let's get down to business!
