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
nandodemo mae e mae e kimi to

Now you and I are teammates, huh?
Yeah, I guess so.
Alright!
Okay, I'll be going now!
Huh? You're not going to travel with me?
I've got my own things to do.
I see...
But even if we're apart, we're still teammates, so I guess that's fine!
I'll see you around, Arashi!
Battle at the Festival! Liger vs Grachio
Whoa! It's perfect weather for adventuring again today!
Alright, Liger! Once I've had breakfast, let's get going!
That's right.
I forgot...
I've got nothing to...
EAAAAAT!
F... food...
I'm at my limit...
What's that?
A stick?
If only there was... a giant candy... on the end...
Tohha...
Delicious!
It's so good, incredibly good!
Tohhaha! That's wonderful!
If you want more, feel free to tell my granddaughter.
Yeah!
What a nice grandfather and granddaughter...!
Thank you, ah... um...
I'm Tohha, the chief of Tengallo Village!
I'm Karon. Nice to meet you!
Yeah! I'm Arashi-
Ah! That's right, where's the Liger?
He's not a dangerous Zoid at all! So there's nothing to be scared about!
In fact, to me, he's-
Tohhaha! No need to worry.
Huh?
Whoa... They're giving him an amazing welcome!
They're not afraid of Zoids?
Of course not! After all, it's said that this village was created by a Zoid Hunter.
Huh? A Zoid Hunter?
Also, Zoids occasionally get excavated near here.
Even now, this village is a place for Zoid Hunters to trade information.
Wooow!
And once a year, we join up with the neighbouring village and hold something we call the 'Zoid Festival'!
That really fires people up!
A Zoid festival?
Sounds fun!
Right, right?
In fact, the festival is tomorrow.
Will you be joining in?
Yeah, yeah! I absolutely will!
G-grandpa! You shouldn't get travellers caught up in this...
But he's really into it!
Because he doesn't know what kind of festival it is!
Even if he did, I bet he'd still do it. He doesn't look too bright...
Come on, don't be rude.
Hmm? What'cha talking about?
Pukyakyakya, pukyakya! Pukyakyakya, pukyakya!
Hey-hey! Your hat's looking especially pointlessly tall today, Chief Tohha!
Hah! And your hat's looking especially pointlessly long, Chief Pukya!
Who's that guy?
That's Pukya, chief of the neighbouring Baseba Village.
Ah! What do you want?
Hey! I heard a visitor with a Zoid came to your village.
Whoa!
So I thought I'd come and have a little look.
Come to think of it, I hear a visitor with a Zoid has come to your village too!
Sounds like this year's festival is going to be super-exciting!
-Tohhahahaha! Rrr! Tohhahahaha! -Pukyakyakyakya! Rrr! Pukyakyakyakya!
Hey, what's going on?
Um, you see... The truth is, tomorrow's festival...
...is a fighting festival where we and the neighbouring village make Zoid-shaped puppets battle each other.
And what's more, ever since Grandpa and Pukya became the chiefs, the battles have been steadily escalating.
This year, they plan to make your Zoids fight in place of the puppets!
Make our Zoids fight?
Right? You don't want that, right? You should turn them down quickl-
I'll do it, I'll do it! I'll fight that battle!
Whaaaat!?
Oh! You'd do that for us?
You did save me when I was starving!
Liger!
Let's show them just how strong we are!
The Liger's raring to go too!
It... it doesn't look that way...
-Tohhahaha! -Pukyakyakya!
Our visitor's Zoid is the one that's going to win!
I'm looking forward to tomorrow! Pukyakyakyakya!
Doesn't that hat make his neck hurt?
Arashi, are you really okay with this?
Sure!
Anyway, I wonder what my opponent is like...
Alright, I'm going scouting!
This must be Baseba Village...
Where are you, where are you, opponent?
Pukyakyakya, pukyakya! Pukyakyakya, pukyakyakya!
I'm counting on you in tomorrow's battle. This is a token of my gratitude.
That must be my opponent. I can't really see him from here...
Your opponent's Zoid was called a "Liner", or a "Nighter", something like that.
It seemed pretty strong, but there's no way it'd be a match for your Zoid!
Alright, just a bit further...
Oww... What's with this wall? It's right in my way.
Gwaaaaah! A-a Grachiosaurus!?
Pukya? What's all that noise?
Ah, ahaha, good evening...
Ahh! You're Kuroame from Team Supreme!
What are you doing here?
Oh yeah! Have you seen that shaggy-head Bacon?
Heeey! Are you listening to me?
He's as quiet as ever...
Pukyakya! Strong men don't talk much. Isn't that right?
He doesn't talk at all!
Anyway, get me down from here-
So basically, after you left, you went to Puripuri Desert to the south,
then went to the Babamba Mountains to the east,
and then after that, you came to this village?
And you liked their hats, so you promised to take part in the festival?
It took two hours to get that much out of you...
Pukya... I can't wear something that long...
Hey, Kuroame. Now that I know you're my opponent, I'm even more fired up!
The truth is, my dad's partner is a Grachiosaurus too!
I can't wait to see how this battle goes!
See ya! Don't oversleep tomorrow!
Look at that Zoid.
It's that lion-type that escaped.
We need to report this to the platoon leader.
I oversleeeept!
Oh man, if I lose by default because I'm late, it's not gonna be funny!
Liger! Why didn't you wake me up?
Good luck!
-Zoids! -We're rooting for you!
Yeah, leave it to me! Heheh!
Wait... Huh?
Penne? What are you doing here?
Hey! Hey, hey! Hold it!
Why are you ignoring me?
Because, it's embarrassing, isn't it?
I'll see you around, Arashi!
Penne! Scorpear!
See you later!
If we meet up so soon after parting ways like that...
Yeah, that'd be super uncool!
That's where you're meant to say "No, not at all"!
So, what are you doing here?
Ah! You came to cheer me on, right?
As if! I heard there was a festival here, so I dropped by to gather some info about treasure.
And then everyone was all excited about how there'd be real Zoids fighting,
and I wondered what kind of idiot had showed up, but turns out it was you.
I see! I'll be counting on you to cheer me on, then.
Ah, no thanks. I'm not interested in these festival battles.
Wait, do you even know the rules of your upcoming battle?
Hmmm...
Nope!
Didn't think so...
I heard about it from the villagers earlier.
First off, the battle is held in a circular arena.
If you fall out, you lose.
And even if you don't, you lose if you can no longer fight.
There aren't many Zoids that can beat the Liger in speed, but the Grachiosaurus is superior in power.
In a narrow arena with nowhere to run, the Liger's at a disadvantage no matter how you slice it.
You should do yourself a favour and qui-
Okay, have fun cheering me on! Come on, Liger!
He wasn't listening at all...
Well, he can just suffer. Let's go, Scorpear!
Sneak...
Sneak sneak...
Roll on up, it's finally starting!
The festival's main event!
-A heated Zoid battle! -A heated Zoid battle!
Hey! That wasn't in time at all!
That's what I should be saying!
-This way! That way! This way! -This way! That way! This way!
Good grief...
At last, Liger.
Heheh, my hands won't stop shaking...
I'm really looking forward to this!
Getting to fight the Grachiosaurus!
Alright... Let's do this!
Now, let the battle...
Begin!
It's on, Kuroame!
What was that...?
It's moving even faster than I thought!
So, so, what do you think?
If even one of the Grachiosaurus's attacks hits him, it'll knock him right out of the arena!
Nggrrrr!
Arashi... Good luck!
Let's go, Liger!
Don't let him beat you, Liger!
What?
That was close!
I've got the upper hand in speed!
Liger! Let him have it!
Tip over!
Gwaaaah!
What power! The Grachio really is strong!
Kuroame's amazing too.
But as long as I don't take a hit, I've got a chance!
That's far enough!
You guys!
Attention, azas!
The festival funtimes end now!
From now on, it's showtime for the terrifying Death Metal!
Or for short, Death Showtime! Or, Showtime Death! It starts now!
That's right, that's right!
It's just as 3rd Platoon Commander Azas says, zamas!
I've seen you guys before, haven't I?
I'm not letting you say you forgot me, zamas! I got demoted from Platoon Commander thanks to you, zamas!
That's right, that's right, me too! I'll death you, you hear?
Azas! With old soldiers Zamas and Sodas on my side, I'm even stronger than usual!
And so you're...
gonna hand over...
the Wild Liger!
Shut up! There's no way I'd hand him over!
Capture it alive, at once!
Don't expect that to keep working!
Now, prepare to die, zamas!
That's right, that's right! Hand over the Wild Liger quietly, you hear?
We need it to work nice and hard as a tool to conquer the world!
Don't be ridiculous! The Liger's not a tool! He's my precious partner!
Blaze on! Liger!
With my soul!
Unleash your instincts!
Wild Blast!
UNLEASHED
INSTINCTS
Let's go, Wild Liger!
Cut them down!
King Of Claw!
N-not good, zamas!
We're gonna get deathed!
That's it! I've got a great idea!
We'll take the villagers hostage!
Wh-what...?
Smash them, Grachiosaurus!
With my soul!
Unleash your instincts!
Wild Blast!
UNLEASHED
INSTINCTS
Th-this is... Grachiosaurus's Wild Blast!
E-eeep!
Y... y-y-y-your attacks won't reach us from over there!
I'll let you off the hook for today!
Zamas!
That's right, that's right!
Aaaaaaah!
Amazing!
They did it!
They chased away Death Metal!
-Tohhahahahahaha! -Pukyakyakya!
Arashi! Kuroame! Come have fun with us again!
Best of luck!
We'll be waiting for you at next year's festival!
Take care, everyone!
Kuroame! This is farewell for us too!
Let's be sure to settle this battle someday!
Let's meet again somewhere.
Alright, let's go, Liger! Off on our next adventure!
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
Now then, as usual, keep working hard for the prosperity of the Death Metal Empire...
The Grachio's power is unreal!
Of course!
Kuroame's partner, the Grachiosaurus, is a Brachiosaurus type that boasts one of the largest sizes of any Zoid.
I see! Its Wild Blast was amazing too!
Its neck deploys the "Grand Hammer", which is said to shatter the ground and everything else along with it.
I've seen it shatter a meteor!
What? Wow! Unreal!
By the way, who are you?
You'll have to wait till next episode to find out!
