Why Does Dr. Wily Keep Getting Away? Is the Legal System in 20XX a Joke? (lemmynsfw.com)

In nearly every Mega Man game, Dr. Wily is captured at the end—usually after unleashing an army of killer robots and nearly destroying the world. And yet, by the next game, he’s back at it like nothing happened.

So what's the in-universe deal? Is the 20XX justice system just that incompetent or corrupt? Is there some official lore reason he's constantly released or escapes? Or are we just supposed to suspend disbelief for the sake of Saturday-morning logic?

Curious what theories or canon explanations people have!

That's so good! Minibosses have a badass medley of Mega Man II as well.
