This renders him helpless against Vile, as he is forced to attempt to short Vile with the raw electricity from his damaged arm and is predictably beaten within an inch of his life, only for Zero to pull his suicide attack. However, this also leaves his arm cannon horrifically disfigured, warped from the heat of the overloaded shot and its internals damaged from the power overload he forced into it. X is forced to disfigure his arm and overload his X-Buster by crudely jamming high-voltage cables into it, allowing him to obliterate Kuwanger's whole body and the entire top of the tower with a massive blast that reveals Sigma's floating fortress. Kuwanger has converted the top of the tower he holed up in into a massive supercomputer that he could offload his mind into, vastly improving his reflexes and speed of thought while rendering it impossible to disable him by attacking his 'normal' brain inside his reploid chassis. The manga adaptation of the events from Boomer Kuwanger's fight all the way up to Vile's battle in Sigma's fortress have a horrific bent to them.As the Darker and Edgier Sequel Series of the Classic series, this was to be expected.
