Relationships MegaMan.EXE - In the games, their relationship receives a lot of focus. However, in the anime, since Mega spends a significant amount of time defending his friends and loved ones, he comes to care about Roll, but also comes to view her as someone to be protected. This causes her to take offense at one point when it seemed to her that he thought little of her abilities. When this clears up, Mega and Roll grow even closer, and their relationship is strong enough to forge a Double Soul in Axess. As a final note, Roll has a big crush on MegaMan, taking every opportunity to engage in physical affection with him (like holding onto his arm, for example). Although he reciprocates, later seasons of the anime make her affections even more expressive while at the same time presenting him as clueless over them. GutsMan.EXE - In the MegaMan NT Warrior anime, GutsMan has a large well of affection for Roll, which imitates Dex's crush on Maylu and which, similarly, is unrequited. However, while Mayl is usually more subtle in warding off Dex's unwanted advances, Roll usually must confront a hulk of a Navi whose large muscles and little brain sometimes don't mix well; Roll has been known to respond with violence to keep GutsMan at bay. Despite her frustration with GutsMan's limited intelligence, Roll considers GutsMan a good friend and ally and appreciates that GutsMan will always be there for her. History MegaMan NT Warrior In the anime series, Roll is a fellow NetNavi working with MegaMan to help stop the WWW from succeeding with their evil plans. Roll's operator is Maylu Sakurai, a friend of Lan Hikari, the operator of MegaMan. Roll has many attacks such as her Roll Blast, that she used against TorchMan in the episode "Hot Tempers!", and her Roll Control which she used against WackoMan in the episode, "Wacky Maddness & Blazing Battles!".

In "Evil Empress Roll", Roll was hacked by the Devil Chip, which had appeared innocuous and had been called the "Super Great White Angel Chip" when Maylu had first received it from Higsby (actually Yahoot in disguise). She was forcibly transformed into a more malicious version of herself with dominatrix overtones and took on the name "Empress" ("Roll-sama" in Japan). This effect was eliminated when Maylu manually overrode the Devil Chip with another.

Following the events of the N1 Grand Prix, Dr. Hikari gives Roll a modified virus named Rush as a pet. Rush is happily welcomed and proves to be a great asset while navigating PharaohMan's desert and pyramid.

MegaMan NT Warrior Axess In episode four of Axess, "Soul Unison!", Roll was up against FlashMan, who was causing blackouts all over ACDC. MegaMan attacks him, but Roll accidentally hits MegaMan with her Aqua Tower, almost deleting him. Lan takes MegaMan to Scilab where Dr. Hikari begins the repair process. Angry at herself, Roll goes back to fight FlashMan. Roll holds him off as much as possible while MegaMan is repaired. FlashMan admits to being amused by her, but easily defeats her. Just as she is about to be deleted, MegaMan arrives and a Soul Unison is activated. Using Roll Soul, FlashMan is defeated.

Notably, Roll and Meiru gain the ability to Cross Fuse. However, it appears as though their compatibility isn't as strong as the other members, which leads Meijin to suggest that they use the Rush Synchro Chip to bypass this limitation.

Auto Heal - Roll's iconic natural ability is to heal herself and others, a halmark effect of her Navi Chip. How and under what circumstances she can produce this ability tend to vary from game to game; in Battle Chip Challenge Roll will automatically heal herself every time she attacks, while in Battle Network 4, she won't heal herself in battle at all. Air Shoes - Roll walks around on her feet in the Cyberworld, but in battle, she floats. Her stance was originally leaning forward, but later games (Mega Man Battle Network 4 and on) showed her in a more upright position, leaning forward only to use her next attack. Roll Flash (ロールフラッシュ Rōru Furasshu) - Roll's signature attack, applied to her chips as well. She will zoom in front of the targeted enemy and attack the foe with her head-attachments. In first and second Mega Man Battle Network, she 'stabbed' the enemy, while in later games, she swings her antenna like blades. Roll's Chip also lets the user regain some HP. Starting from Battle Network 4 and in later seasons of the anime, this attack was renamed Roll Whip (ロールウィップ). Roll Arrow - Roll's long range attack, used in Mega Man Battle Network 4, and copied by MegaMan in Roll Soul. She will create a bow, and fire an arrow with a heart motif. This arrow, while slow (compared to other attacks) and not very powerful, has the ability to also destroy enemy battle chips. Roll Dance - Roll will perform a spin, turning her body into shining dust, then teleporting to different locations. She becomes immune to attacks while performing her dance, allowing her to block enemy attacks with this skill. Virus Charm - An advanced form of the Roll Dance. This dance allows her to summon viruses, casting a spell on the viruses that tricks them into feeling affection for Roll so that they will protect her and fight for her. She can perform this dance more than once, allowing her to summon multiple viruses to overwhelm the opponent. Defeating Roll will also delete any remaining viruses in the battle. First Barrier - In Rockman.EXE 4.5, Roll has the First Barrier program equipped. Program Deck - Battle Chip Challenge indicates that Mayl and Roll do in fact have a supply of Battle Chips, which they use to fill their deck for the tournament. Heart Slash/Roll Blast (anime only) - Roll blows a kiss, which becomes a huge shockwave. This is especially useful against a group of enemies. Roll Blast (anime only) - Roll launches several pointy hearts.[1] Roll Control (anime only) - Roll releases a heart that enters the target, making it obey her.[1] Rare Battle Chips (anime only) - During the N1 Grand Prix arc, Yai gives Maylu a handful of rare battle chips in anticipation of her fight with Maddy, including powerful weapons like Triple Lance, Typhoon, and Cyclone. This creates an interesting dynamic with the boys, as Mayl and Roll actually have stronger chips than Lan and MegaMan, whose strategies usually rely on basic chips like Shotgun or simple combos like Area Steal and Sword. Aqua Tower (anime only) - During the first season of the anime, Roll seem to favor the use of this chip, using it in many of her battles. Rush Hole (Cross Fusion) - This ability is normally used by Rush to go in and out of the real world and Cyberworld. As a result of using the Rush Synchro Chip, C.F. Roll gains this ability as well. This ability allows her to send viruses back into the Cyberworld and even delete Asteroid DesertMan for good in the 40th episode of Stream.
