So... I agree entirely with L33tsaber's corrections. And it bothers me that in almost three years, Kuroji hasn't bothered to do the fixes. Is there any way we can get this fixed?

As for meaning, before I read the "official" narrative in the liner notes, I had a completely separate vision for how Protoman dies. I imagined that Megaman was just avoiding Protoman's assault as they do their duet, then Protoman strikes some sort of mortal-looking blow. As he gloats before the crowd, he hears them call for blood, then is shocked to hear Megaman scream, "No!" followed by the command to kill Protoman. And I imagined a similar change of heart at the sudden display of defiance from the crowd, as Protoman sees that maybe they just needed to be pushed far enough before they'd actually start to rally behind someone.
