Zoids! With bodies of metal, and the instincts and fighting spirit of animals,
they are the strongest life forms, standing at the peak of the ecosystem!
When a Zoid and a human form the ultimate bond, a hidden power awakens!
Its name is... Wild Blast!
I used to feel like I could do anything
donna koto mo dekisouna ki ga shiteita
The innocent me and you, we had high hopes for the future
adokenai boku to kimi mirai ni kitai shiteita
The night I learned the difficulty of granting those wishes
kanaeru koto no muzukashisa wo shiru no wa
was the night I grew up just a little
sukoshi dake otona ni natta yoru datta
Though I wanted to turn my eyes away
me wo somuketaku natta kedo
That day, we cried and sobbed
ano hi bokura wa naite nakijakutte
but even so, spoke of dreams we couldn't give up on
soredemo akiramerarenai yume wo katari
Searching for even a tiny bit of hope
hon no wazuka demo kibou wo sagashite
we set off walking blindly again
yamikumo ni mou ichido arukidashita
Right now, our dreams might still be dreams
ima wa mada yume wa yume no mama kamoshirenai
We might not be the slightest bit strong
bokura wa sukoshi mo tsuyokunai kamoshirenai
But these feelings can't be stopped
dakedo kono omoi wa tomerarenai kara
So I'll keep on moving onwards, onwards, with you

ZOIDS WILD

What's this...?
That's a Zoid Key!
Show me! Show me your instincts!
Unleashed instincts... a "Wild Blast"!
Let's go... partner!
Invasion! Death Metal
Death hiiiiiiim!
Behind us!
Hey, stop! Stop, dammit!
He can't control it?
I guess they don't call it the king of Zoids for nothing.
It's a rough one.
Now! Death him, death him, death him good!
Ugh, here they come.
C'mon, pull them out, quick!
Heheheh!
They're coming from the right!
Hahah!
I said the right!
Oh no... I'm toast!
Hmph! Geez...
Looks like it really is my fate to save you.
Pah, butting in on us...
He's got friends?
Sorry to keep you waiting, Bacon!
What's this? The Death Metal guys are here too?
Yeah! Thanks to them, I didn't get bored!
Ggggggh! Looks like the odds are against us.
Retreeeeeeeat!
My my, be back soon, okay?
I was looking forward to showing off...
It... turned back...?
Hey, could that brat possibly have...
made the Wild Liger his partner?
You're kidding! The legendary lion-type?
Wild Liger...
I see! So you're called the Wild Liger?
I'm Arashi! Pleased to meet you, Li-
Hey! What are you doing? Come on!
I'm gonna fall off! Cut it out!
Oh no!
It's going to crash!
Stooooop!
Calm down, Wild Liger!
Tiger!
It put a scratch on the Tiger...?
How shocking!
I told you to stop!
Impressive...
But you've got a long way to go!
You okay?
Liger...
My... part... ner...
Looks like he's reached his limit.
It's not surprising.
A Wild Blast wears out both your mind and body.
This being his first time, he must be utterly exhausted.
You say you made that Zoid your partner?
Mm-hmm! He and I thrashed those Death Metal Empire guys together!
The Death Metal Empire?
"Thrashed them," huh...?
I wish I could've shown you! Death Metal was so terrified of me they all ran away!
Terrified of him, huh?
If anything, I'd say they ran away when they saw us.
Well, this means I've got a partner Zoid too now!
It looked like your "partner" threw you off at the end, though.
You there! Quit making fun of me!
After all, I did a Wild Brass with the Liger!
Pffft! I think you mean "Wild Blast".
Wild Blast?
When a Zoid and a human form the ultimate bond,
it draws out the Zoid's hidden power, along with its fighting instincts.
This is called a "Wild Blast".
To activate it, the feelings of the Zoid need to be in sync with the person riding it.
You also need a Zoid Key.
That's the proof that the Wild Liger formed a bond with this brat.
That's how it is, Gramps!
Don't be ridiculous! I'll never approve of you riding a Zoid, or being partners with one!
Why not!?
How many times do I have to tell you? Zoids are dangerous! Go chase it away right now!
No way! You're the one being ridiculous!
Arashi!
You stubborn old fart! Pah!
Old fart...?
What's his deal? I've finally become partners with a Zoid, so why am I getting chewed out...?
Oh, boy...
Geez... Gramps is always going on about "Zoids are no good, Zoids are no good"...
It seriously cheeses me off!
Yo!
How are your injuries doing, partn-
Wh-what's your deal?
Oh well, you must be okay if you can roar that loud!
Alright!
Owwww...
Hey! We're partners, right?
Without me on board, you can't use your Wild Blast!
C'mon, see?
What the hell...?
Okay, if that's how it's gonna be...!
Why, you...!
Whoa! I never expected a Zoid to reject a human after entrusting him with its Zoid Key...
Maybe they formed a temporary bond, but it wore off?
Well then, why don't we take that Liger?
Hold on, there.
We don't know if their bond's worn off or not yet.
Owwww...
Anyone can see that it hates him.
If that's the case, then why hasn't the Liger run away?
Ngggggh! I get it, I get it!
Have it your way! What do I care about you?
Zoids are so horrible.
We have no idea when they might attack us...
After all, Zoids are the most ferocious creatures around.
I can't understand people who ride those things.
They really are revolting.
Has it been three years already since Ikadzuchi went off travelling?
I bet he died in the middle of one of his adventures.
With him riding a Zoid, I knew it'd happen someday...
Shaddup!
I'm sure my dad's alive! And he's with his partner Zoid!
You don't know anything about Zoids. You're just scared, you cowards!
Zoids are amazing!
And I'm going to prove it!
When I find my partner Zoid...!
Seriously... I wish they'd hurry up and leave!
Yes... Yes... Certainly, I found the Wild Liger!
You cretin. Why did you act on your own instead of joining up with the other platoons?
And on top of that, you let it get away?
M-my apologies, Master Drake! But the Wild Liger used its Wild Blast and-
Don't give me excuses!
No, sir!
The 1st Platoon should be arriving there shortly.
Secure the Zoid tonight.
If you fail this time...
You won't get another chance!
Y-yes, sir! Absolutely!
A Wild Blast...?
If that's how it's gonna be, I'll ride you whatever it takes!
Here goes! Operation Flying Squirrel! Hyaah!
Gotcha!
Come oooon!
Plan 2!
Operation Pole Vault!
I've got you this time!
Plan 3!
Plan 17!
Plan 31!
Plan-
Damn it! What the hell is your problem with me?
Looks like Plan 50 failed too.
This guy doesn't know when to give up...
Listen up! I am absolutely! Going! To! Ride! Youuuu!
Hey, brat.
I'm not a brat! I'm Arashi, shaggy-head!
Who are you calling shaggy-head?
Come with me for a minute, okay?
You know, when I met the Tiger, I was just like you are now.
I'd been alone ever since I was little,
and it was all I could do just to stay alive each day.
To be honest, I did some things I'm not proud of.
But I thought,
"Someday I want to leave this place. I want to change!"
And then...
At first, he tried to intimidate me.
My heart was in a pretty rough place, too.
Your heart?
It's your heart that forms a bond with your Zoid.
You have to tell it what's in your heart.
I know that!
If you open your heart to it, the Zoid's sure to respond to you!
So tell it your feelings, your wish to be partners, with all you've got!
Who did you hear that from...?
My dad!
Your dad?
Looks like you're having trouble, young'un!
Open your heart!
Tell it your feelings, your wish to be partners!
With all you've got!
No way...
Could he be that man's...?
I've told him what's in my heart!
That's why I was able to ride him, right?
Aren't you misunderstanding something?
Huh?
Zoids aren't vehicles.
They're partners.
Zoids have hearts too!
You seem to only be attached to riding the Liger,
so you've still got a long way to go.
Hey.
You said you wanted to change.
So did you?
When you went travelling with the Tiger.
Yeah.
Everything I saw was new.
Me and my problems seemed so tiny.
The world is vast!
So...
Where are you gonna head now?
Heh!
The Great Ancient Treasure Z!
GREAT ANCIENT TREASURE
The Great Ancient Treasure Z!?
Yeah. A legendary treasure!
They say whoever gets hold of it can get hold of everything in the world!
Everything in the world?
Ah! You're planning on finding it and ruling the world in Death Metal's place, aren't you!
Come on, don't be ridiculous.
Then why are you searching for it?
Searching for such an amazing treasure is pretty exciting in itself, isn't it?
You're reading that again?
Are you going to leave too? Riding that monster...
He's not a monster, he's a Zoid!
I'm gonna see the wide world just like my fath-
He never came back!
I don't want to let you walk the same road as Ikadzuchi.
I'll never approve of it.
Ugh, stubborn old man...
Huh? I smell burning...
A fire!
What? The forest's on fire?
Yeah! It's burning like crazy!
I didn't sense any signs of fire in the forest...
It might be Death Metal!
Quite possible.
Death Metal!?
Oh no! At this rate, the village will be burnt to ruins!
Leave this to us!
I'm counting on you, Kuroame!
We'll need the Grachio's strength to keep the fire from spreading!
You're going to put out the fire?
Well, you did treat us to plenty of food.
This is a small token of thanks.
Do you have firefighting spray?
Yeah, in the meeting hall storehouse!
Let's go, Candy!
Yeah!
Liger! We're going too!
We'll show Gramps our power!
Stop being so hardheaded!
There you are!
You okay, Bacon?
How's the fire?
Well, we're using the firefighting spray, but the heat's really strong and the fire's spread too wide.
Looks like it's gonna be a tough job!
Kuroame and the others will be here soon!
I'm counting on you!
Okay!
Platoon leader! The Wild Liger is currently the only Zoid at the village!
Heheh, just as planned.
Arashi! What are you trying to do?
I'm going to help put out the fire!
Don't be ridiculous! It's too much for you!
Death Metal!
Well, well... Now, how about you give that thing back?
No way!
Oh my! If you take such an uncharming attitude...
We'll set fire to this village, too!
Don't mess with me! I'm not letting you do as you like any more!
Arashi, run!
You run, Gramps, quick!
"Gramps", ehhh?
Gramps!
Hurry up and give back the Liger!
Otherwise we'll death your Gramps, got it?
Stop it!
Look, your Gramps is in pain, see?
Arashi, don't worry about me! Run!
Liger!
Ehehehehehehehe!
Zoids aren't vehicles.
They're partners.
Zoids have hearts too!
I see...
Back then, I...
I was about to... jump off!
I was scared, and panicking...
and I tried to abandon you.
I'm... the worst!
I'm sorry, Liger!
But...
But...!
Right now, we have to save my Gramps!
He's my Gramps!
I have to save him!
Arashi...
Run...
Oh, shut up!
Lend me your power! Ligerrrrrr!
Shut up already! Death him!
Whooooa? What?
Thanks, Liger!
Alright... Let's go!
Hey, brat! Don't you care what happens to your-
Oh? Oh my?
Gramps! You okay?
Arashi...
You lot! Destroy the village gate!
Blow it to bits with your launchers!
Yes, sir!
Let's do this, Liger!
Watch this, Gramps!
This is me and my partner's Wild Blast!
Blaze on! Liger!
With my soul!
Unleash your instincts!
Wild Blast!
UNLEASHED
INSTINCTS
Death them all together!
Let's go, Wild Liger!
Cut them down!
King Of... Claw!
Oh no! Retreeeeeeeat!
Platoon leader! Wait for us!
Ehehehe!
Good grief... You're just like your father.
Bacon! We've finished putting the fire out!
It's all fine now.
I'll go fetch Kuroame and the others!
Okay!
Liger!
This makes us true partners!
Oh! Looks like that brat finally got the Liger to accept him.
Heheh, you and me could make an unbeatable team!
After all, this Wild Blast-
Hey! What're you doing!?
I can't let you have that Liger!
What?
You have things you like doing, right?
suki na koto ga aru daro
If someone praises you, you feel happy, right?
homeraretara ureshii daro
If you keep going so long that you lose interest
akiru kurai made tsudzuketara
There's someone who'll be even happier than you
kimi ijou ni yorokobu hito ga iru
When someone worries about your faults
kimi no dame na toko nayande kurete
but still stays by your side
soredemo soba ni ite kureru hito ni
Be sure to at least tell them "thanks"
chanto "arigatou" gurai itteokunda
Okay? It might be embarrassing, but that courage is precious
ii kai hazukashii darou kedo daiji na yuuki sa
The "from now on" you're going to encounter
kimi ga deau "kore kara" wa ne
will be an unbelievably
shinjirarenai hodo ni
fun, sad,
tanoshikute kanashikute
wonderful journey
suteki na tabi ni naru
So wonderful you'll be able to laugh and say,
"marude otogibanashi" to waraeru hodo
"It's just like a fairytale"
suteki na tabi ni naru
Hey, show me your Wild Blast too, shaggy-head!
Who're you calling shaggy-head!?
Do you even know what a Wild Blast is to begin with?
When a Zoid and a human form the ultimate bond, their instincts are unleashed,
and at the same time, they display a special power.
That's a Wild Blast!
Whoa! So basically, you just need to become best friends with your Zoid, right?
This is a bit tricky...
So, what's shaggy-head and the Tiger's Wild Blast?
Ahahahahahaha...
Who're you calling shaggy-head!?
Preview
After overcoming many hardships, something is attained!
It is the unwavering radiance of a passionate soul!
The moment of departure has come!
Awaken! Pride of the Zoid King
