He didn't he's lying to save face. Reach the Light capsules as Zero in X5 & X6 and you get interesting dialog, like in Infinity Mijinion's stage. Zero confesses that he has no idea how he came back, and Light almost certainly knows something (WILY) but holds back.
That, and it's the most epic mistranslation in the game, Zero never actually says anything about repairing himself and avoids the subject.

>MHX6&7
Crazy idea - what if those games were just scrapped entirely in favor of a new game that took elements of both?
>Takes place THREE YEARS after X5.
>X is a bit hardened and jaded, but not to the extent that he'd quit.
>Opening is similar to X6 but X comes across Axl instead of some helpless reploid NPCs and that giant mechaniloid, Axl appears and in his hotheadedness briefly fights X thinking he was hired by the Red Alert investigators but X talks him down after disarming him (he's still got that peacekeeping instinct).
>Then X discovers the investigators blaming Zero and then allows Axl to join him since he knows he'll need all the help he can get. Axl is honored to be working alongside X and believes that Zero is alive.
>Axl is one of two new prototype reploids - the other being Hi-Max.
>Give us entirely new levels, upgrades and bosses, remix the returning bigger baddies (Gate and Hi-Max are cool but wtf were those battles).
>Red is in the game as the technical leader of Gate's group, but Isoc is pulling the strings and so he's manipulated into following along with the scheme. He's a more tragic figure.
>Dynamo is in the game as a shady lone wolf bounty hunter hired by Red to look for Axl and Zero.
>Alia still has that backstory with Gate and the eight bosses.
>Isoc is still obsessed with Zero even though he and Gate were involved in the new reploid research.
>Zero can be found and eventually recruited like in X6, but doing this makes X lose access to the Z-Saber (also his survival explanation is translated correctly).
>Dynamo's fate: up in the air, he's a minor villain and optional encounter who gets away.
>Gate's, Hi-Max's, and Red's fates: same.
>Isoc's fate: dunno, should he get a boss battle or is there too much going on?
>Sigma is still revived by Gate, who downplays his significance in his return.
>Ending: Axl still tricks and sucker-shots Sigma ala X7, then the main ending is close to X's in X6.
Let's call it "Mega Man X6.7" or something.

If you think Grolla mode is hard, the sequel starring Freudia will kick your ass.

Damn, I can't unsee that.

Ridiculously tight development made them cut corners in gameplay and story. It needed several more months.

>You overpaid for Saturn Megaman 8
and how much do you think I sold it for?

Maverick Hunter X was a way worse remake than Powered Up, chibifags be damned.

>That pic.
Always remember that line was added in localization, that Zero in all honesty does not know how he came back, that Dr. Light does not know either in some conversations.
Which kinda begs the question why Isoc is looking for him if Wily really repaired him and they're really one and the same, don't it?

Agreed. I prefer X6 to X5. Screw the haters.
