After the Great Repliforce War, Zero was made the object of Sigma's attention, as the Maverick leader had planned to use the dormant viral code within Zero to reawaken him as the ultimate creation that Wily had intented him to be. Depending on the player's actions in ''Mega Man X5'', Zero can either awaken as Wily's ultimate creation or remain normal. In either case, X and Zero are forced to fight against each other out of paranoia from the Maverick Hunters' medical control officer, Lifesaver. Zero sacrifices himself once more to help X defeat Sigma once again, with his last visions upon death being those of Iris.

This is where the continuity gets muddled. Zero technically gets revived two seperate times. In ''Mega Man X6'', Zero is seemingly revived by his own auto-repair systems, laying low while a Reploid scientist named Gate took a part of his coding in an effort to create "the ultimate Reploid", using a copy of Zero as a diversion. After X took a brief sabbatical from fighting Mavericks in ''Mega Man X7'', Zero once again acted as a mentor to the group's newest recruit, Axl. Keiji Inafune, shephard of the ''Mega Man'' franchise, intended for ''X5'' to be the last in that particular series and left to focus on the ''Mega Man Zero'' series. However, ''X6'' was rushed out before that could happen and the series continued on without him, ruining his roadmap of the grander timeline.

After Sigma was finally defeated once and for all, Zero and X were involved in a new conflict called the "Elf Wars" due to its use of the electronic life-forms known as cyber-elves. Zero, having learned that his code was the original source of the Maverick outbreak, went into hybernation while scientists worked on a way to remove the malicious code. This was done as an attempt to explain the continuity error ''X6-8'' created. In that time, he was given a second body to inhabit, which he was awakened in by the human scientist Ciel, seeking his aid to defeat her rebellious creation, a copy of X. While Zero helps with the resistance group that Ciel leads, he soon learns that his original body had been stolen by a mad scientist named Dr. Weil, naming the original body as "Omega". Zero destroys Omega and later defeats Weil, despite knowing the fact that he was human, putting an end to the Robot Wars that Wily had begun centuries ago. His code, along with X, was later salvaged and used as a base for the Model Z and Model X units respectively in the ''Mega Man ZX'' series.

Zero's Japanese voice clips were by Ryotaro Okiayu, who has voiced him since ''Mega Man X4''. Okiayu was surprised to hear his recordings in ''Ultimate'' and suggested they were reused from somewhere.<ref>[https://twitter.com/chikichikiko/status/1027213454212386816 "ゼロもボイスあるの??? あれ?"], [https://twitter.com/chikichikiko/status/1027234867791114240 "『帰還する!』という台詞が何処からか転用されているみたいです音源"] - Ryotaro Okiayu's Twitter (@chikichikiko, both posted August 8, 2018)</ref> Zero's English voice clips were by Johnny Yong Bosch, who has voiced him since ''Marvel Vs. Capcom 3''.
 
Upon being summoned, he says "Fight's on!" and chases opponents to attack them using a variety of techniques:
*A series of three slashes with his Z-Saber, much like playable characters' [[neutral attack]]s, with the slashes linking into each other. However, opponents are able to [[air dodge]] inbetween the second and third slashes. The slashes deal 5%, 7%, and 9% respectively, for a total of 21% damage, and the third slash has enough knockback to KO at around 125% from center stage.

*'''Ryuenjin''' ({{ja|龍炎刃|Ryūenjin}}, ''Dragon Flame Blade''): Zero jumps and slashes above himself with his Z-Saber engulfed in [[flame]]s. Much like {{SSBU|Roy}}'s [[Blazer]], it drags opponents along in multiple hits, then launches them upward at the peak of the jump. It deals up to 5 hits, with the first dealing 6%, the second to fourth dealing 1.2%, and the fifth dealing 10%, for a total of 19.6% damage. The final hit is powerful enough to KO opponents under 100% if all hits connect.

*'''Genmu Zero''' ({{ja|幻夢零|Genmurei}}, ''Phantasm Zero''): Holds the Z-Saber up, then slashes with it to fire a large, green blade beam forward. The Z-Saber itself deals 15%, while the beam deals 20%. This is Zero's most powerful attack, with the beam KOing opponents as low as 70% from center stage. He often uses it when opponents are at a long distance away from him, especially if they are at high percentages. The beam can be [[reflect]]ed and [[absorb]]ed.

Rather than his recurring voice actor Lucas Gilbertson, Johnny Yong Bosch, who voiced Zero in ''Marvel Vs. Capcom 3'' and its update ''Ultimate Marvel vs. Capcom 3'', ''Marvel vs. Capcom: Infinite'' and ''Teppen'', reprises his role in the English versions of ''Ultimate''.
Much like in his series, Zero has a [[double jump]], and can move with high-speed dashes both on the ground and in the air. He is also one of the Assist Trophies capable of performing directional air dodges. For all his techniques except the triple slash, Zero shouts their names when using them. He will then say "Back to base!" when departing. He also can be defeated, when he is defeated he gets blast KO'd but also explodes into orange orbs, a reference to his death animation in some of his appearances.

**This is probably a reference to his fight as Awakened Zero where, after a certain amount of time passes, he will become invincible and start using Genmu Zero repeatedly, essentially ending the fight.

*Zero is one of the two new Assist Trophy characters in ''Ultimate'' to use newly recorded voice clips, rather than recycled voice clips; the other is [[Alucard]].
**Interestingly, both Zero and Alucard share the same Japanese voice actor, Ryōtarō Okiayu.
*Zero, [[Andross]] and [[Nintendog]] are tied for the most Spirits out of non Fighter characters, with a total of three. In his case, his Zero Buster spirit, his Z-Saber spirit, and Mega Man Zero spirit.

*For unknown reasons, the [[Sound Test]] and the Assist Trophy menu in [[Training]] lists Zero's name as "Zero (Mega Man)", despite there being no other Assist Trophy with the name Zero, as well as none of Zero's spirits being specifically called "Zero (Mega Man)".
