Acid Ace (アシッド・エース, Acid Ace) is the EM Wave Change form of A.C. Eos and his Wizard, Acid. Using the Ace Program, they are able to Wave Change to form Acid Ace, and are registered under Project TC as No. 001. Acid Ace is the first EM Wave Chance form achieved via an artificial Wizard rather than an organic one, but a side-effect of this is that Ace's physical body is damaged over time.

Acid Ace is fought three times in the story - once where he cannot be damaged and the player must survive a few turns, a second time normally, and third when corrupted by noise as Acid Ace B. Two other forms also exist, Acid Ace R and BB, which are fought in the Black Hole Server and as a random Nintendo Wi-Fi opponent, respectively.

Etymology

The name Acid Ace holds the same possible references as the names of the wizard and human that make him, which are Acid and A.C. Eos, respectively.

Another possible reference drawn from Ace is the term flying ace, which is used to refer to military aviators who have succeeded in shooting down several enemy aircrafts, which is in direct relation to Acid Ace's shooting and semi-flight capabilities.

Trivia

Acid Ace is considered a mixture of both Colonel.EXE, ProtoMan.EXE, and SearchMan.EXE. It is due to the fact that he inherits wide range of various weapons, sword mastery, and a target lock-on aspect that can pierce invisibility.

Acid Ace is considered to be an inversion of a Zero trope as well as his spiritual successor Protoman.EXE since most Zero expies would rely on swords but Acid Ace relies on wide versatile of weapons with his sword as his main weapon. Ace is the complete opposite of Zero and Chaud since he is cheerful but at the same time he is quick on his feet as Baryl as a commander.

Most of Acid Ace's sword moves share a resemblance with ProtoMan.EXE since both of them are in high position of their respective organizations. The same thing applies to Zero from Mega Man X . Black Ace's meteor server deals with a lot of sword cards which serves as a reference to Zero/ProtoMan as well.

The profile section of Acid Ace's first page is misspelled as "Adic Ace".

Acid Ace's finalized form bears similarities to Goro Akechi's Persona Loki from Shin Megami Tensei: Persona 5 as both are considered to be the darker and more powerful versions as a contrast to their main perspective forms as colored white. Not to mention both Ace and Akechi are police members who have parental issues with their respective fathers and have a hidden power within them. Also both are rivals with their respective Jokers in the series. Both commit sacrifice to save the heroes to succeed later on to defeat their respective fathers.
