Jupiter (ジュピター, Jupitā) is one of the second four Stardroids that Mega Man must fight in Mega Man V. He is equipped with a jet engine on his back that he uses to fly at very fast speeds and likes to combine his swift flight with dynamic acrobatics, but his not-so-serious personality makes him somewhat an annoyance to his allies and he also tends to lose valuable things quite often. In ancient times, he was equipped with megaton grade bombs, but as they were too dangerous for him indoors, it was modified to channel energy for his new main weapon, the Electric Shock, a huge beam of raw electricity. He dislikes turbulence while flying fast and his weakness is the Bubble Bomb. Jupiter is part of the second wave of four Stardroids, and defeating him rewards Mega Man with his Electric Shock. Attack pattern Jupiter has a short attack order and never deviates from it, but his strategy is very simple and easy to avoid. He spends nearly the entire fight flying very close to the ceiling, out of range. He tries to hover above Mega Man for a second or two, before stopping fire a powerful Electric Shock downwards. He holds his powerful beam of electricity for two seconds, and he cooldowns for a second before shooting 4 mini sparks down. These sparks spread out in diagonal directions downwards but don't cover directly below Jupiter. One second after these sparks are released, Jupiter will dive down to the ground directly below him, which is the only opportunity to damage him with the Mega Buster, before flying back up and restarting his pattern. Every one of his attacks can be avoided by just being on the opposite side of the screen from him. Jupiter's arena has an icy floor, which is not present in the rematches. Weaknesses Jupiter is weak to Bubble Bomb, which defeats him in 7 hits. The weapon's trajectory makes it very easy to hit him while he is airborne, plus Mega Man will always have this weapon on him when fighting Jupiter; this is due to Venus, the user of Bubble Bomb, being a first wave boss while Jupiter is a second wave boss. However, he is invincible to attacks when he is using the Electric Shock. Jupiter also has secondary weaknesses to Salt Water and Break Dash, which deal 2 damage to him. As with most bosses, Jupiter takes 3 damage from the Mega Arm. He can fly in the air with a jet engine. His Electric Shock can electrocute enemies. "Clear my way, you propeller scum!" Good Point: Speed maniac Bad Point: Flighty behavior Like: Acrobatic flight Dislike: Air turbulence Mega Man (Archie Comics) Jupiter is revealed to be a creation of the diabolical Ra Moon, who after its defeat by Mega Man sends a signal to the Stardroids informing them of its demise. Fandom headcannons: he apparently is a really good engineer with ADHD, and will hop or skip when traversing on foot since his bird-like feet aren't meant for walking around like most of his brothers. Can be a big rollercoaster fan. Had an incident with an airplane once that was flagged as a "bird strike." Pluto pounces on him often "for practice." Terra finds him annoying for being repeatedly late for meetings. His appearance consisted of a beaked helmet with big "ears" pointing backwards and a mask (for smoother aerodynamics and the mask to keep his vents from clogging by dust or debris while flying), two disks on his shoulders for steering direction (he traced the painted rings on them with his finger often when he gets bored) green chest armor, a yellow belt, a red and cyan jetpack on his back and two bird-like feet for when he lands. His colors are primarily green and yellow with some added cyan (he has cyan gloves a mainly cyan ans the stripes that are on his head and boots are cyan.)
