Zoids: Wild	comment	Zoids: Wild is the fifth series in the Zoids franchise. It was released on July 7, 2018 in Japan on TBS. The first half was released internationally on Netflix on August 14, 2020, with the second half added on October 1st of the same year. It is aimed at a slightly younger audience than prior Zoids anime, and as such features even more Shonen anime tropes than its priors.The story follows Arashi, a young teenager from a remote village, as he attempts to capture and bond with a wild Zoid. His attempts are met with failure and disapproval from his grandfather, who doesn't want him running off and never coming back like Arashi's father. During a nearly disastrous attempt at capturing a Pincers, Quade of Team Supreme saves Arashi. Supreme is a band of traveling Zoid Seekers looking for Liger, a legendary white Lion-type that escaped from the clutches of the Dark Metal Empire. The Liger is said to have unspeakable power and defeated 100 soldiers on its way out.Liger eventually shows up just outside the village, where it's pursued by the Empire's goons. Arashi finds Liger and tries to convince him to let Arashi become his rider. While this doesn't go anywhere at first, Arashi freeing Liger from the hunter squad's tasers despite being shocked himself convinces Liger to team up with Arashi and fight them off. After some training with Quade, Arashi sets off for adventure, first to just get to see the world and later to find his missing father and the mythical Ancient Treasure Z while fighting off the forces of the Dark Metal Empire.An accompanying toyline was released by TakaraTomy in Japan and Southeast Asia, while the American and European release was adapted by Hasbro. Very few changes were made to the toys themselves, except for the exclusion of stickers, molding the eyes in instead of having them as separate pieces, and including pilot figures based on the show's characters rather than generic, identical clear plastic riders; this was originally intended for the Japanese version but changed prior to release.This series was followed by Zoids: Wild Zero, which is unrelated despite the similar name and design aesthetic.

Zoids: Wild / int_1161fb48	type	Bizarre Alien Biology
Zoids: Wild / int_1161fb48	comment	Bizarre Alien Biology: First and foremost, Zoids. They're explicitly giant robots that require occasional mechanical maintenance, but apparently reproduce in the wild on their own (if multiple specimens of the same design can find one another). They eat ore, crude petroleum, and in one case the metal-rich sap of an ancient tree. They can heal damage to themselves through a poorly described process that scientists haven't fully figured out. But they're known to have been constructed by humans in the distant past. They're also solar powered, accumulating energy during the day, but can be powered by external sources. This allows them to be revived if they are ever deactivated by simply electrifying them, and wild Zoids are the result of buried, deactivated Zoids getting struck by lightning, which makes them act wild as a result of messing with their programming. Domesticated Zoids are revived using more controlled voltages. The bamboo on Ferroterra can, under certain circumstances, begin absorbing electricity like a battery. This acts as a natural deterrent to anything that could damage them, especially animals that might try to eat them. Rarely, their shoots will hold so much electrical power that they can be used as a power source. However, they quickly lose charge once harvested and will permanently lose their exceptional capacitance if not replanted quickly enough. The King of the Forest is a tree hundreds of feet tall with roots extending for thousands of feet around it. Its sap is rich in metal and petroleum, making it a prime food source for Zoids. Somehow, this doesn't harm the tree itself, which is implied to be the plant equivalent of a Zoid.

But he eats food and may just be wearing powered armor. In fact, only his head and hands seem to actually be made of metal, since every other par of his body not covered by his jacket or shorts appears to be a tight-fitting bodysuit. He's also capable of using Wild Blast, which inherently requires a close connection and strong emotions, meaning at least part of him is actually alive.

When Team Supreme arrives and one of its members is riding Grax, his father's Brachio-type Zoid, Arashi tries to get more information but the new rider doesn't know anything about it. Quade might, though, since Arashi's father trained Quade. But Arashi never asked, and Quade only started to figure out Arashi is his mentor's son right before they split up. In the end, it turns out Ikazuchi simply lost track of time, meaning his 10 year absence was a mistake.

Zoids: Wild / int_2dc0d2bf	comment	Hidden Depths: Arashi seems hopelessly and maybe even terminally stupid at times, especially in how he is extremely Book Dumb. However, he also takes to becoming a Zoid rider very quickly with only a little mentoring from Quade. While at first Arashi doesn't understand that he needs to understand Liger's feelings, once he does it doesn't take long for them to bond enough to forge a Zoid Key and activate Wild Blast. For all of his lack of knowledge, Arashi is very good at reading others' emotions in addition to having strong intuition in battle, allowing him to repeatedly defeat strong and skilled veteran opponents. At first, it appears Bastion will only ever do anything for money. However, he shows that he can be caring when he saves a young girl and her cat at the risk of his own safety when they get too close during a game of Zoids Soccer. He also helps save the village from a flock of V-Raptors that stampede through town with only a little convincing from Arashi despite not getting paid to do it. It also turns out that he needs the money to take care of his sick little sister.

He gaslights Drake, talks down to his second-in-command like a child, and attacks his own men in combat. He barely interacts with his ground troops for being beneath him, but when he does he casually threatens them regardless of how effective or successful they are. He treats his opponents far better than his loyal followers, although that's all an obvious bit of show.

But its Wild Blast turns cranial ram into a proper example, able to launch and retract it as a crushing weapon.

For example, he calls Drake just as he's about to finish off Arashi to ask for some snacks and party favors, and to drop whatever he's doing immediately. While it's at least partly because he's eccentric and flightly, it's also because he just likes to screw with Drake. It's all part of his plan to set Drake up to fail and kill him for it.

Zoids: Wild / int_59e0c863	comment	Animal Mecha: Zoids are explicitly defined as mechanical lifeforms. It's revealed early on that they went "extinct" at some point but can be revived by electrifying their central power core. Domesticated Zoids are revived in laboratories by scientists and engineers before being sent out to people who will use them, while wild Zoids are born when a deactivated Zoid is brought to life through a natural electrical phenomenon like a lightning strike. The combination of the less refined electrical power and not being handled by humans makes them far more unpredictable and much stronger. Being big and muscular with a penchant for drumming, Numb-Lock is themed on a gorilla. Appropriately, so is his Zoid Dragz. The Death Metal Empire mainly uses Dinosaur-type Zords like Rapterrix and Gilraptor. There's also Grax, the Brachiosaurus-type Zoid piloted by Team Supreme's Tremor and formerly by Arashi's father. Gigaboss pilots the terrifying Demise, one of the largest and most powerful Zoids in the series.

The oil he leaked while she fixed a line lead the episode's antagonists to their location. Analog later mentions how scientists hypothesize that Wild Blast imbues Zoids with the power of the animals they're based on, but that it sometimes doesn't hold up. This is a subtle reminder that despite apparently reproducing on their own and acting like living things, they were originally designed and built by humans.

Zoids: Wild / int_a6ff7243	comment	Hates Being Touched: Liger, for the most part. He's a wild Zoid, and a very powerful one at that. His abuse at the hands of the Dark Metal Empire made him distrusting of humans, but gives Arashi a chance when he promises to pay attention to Liger's wishes. Other humans who get too close tend to get knocked down and roared at. Though it may be more of a case of picking up on intentions, as Battalia was able to get close and he didn't seem to have much trouble letting letting the kids from the cowboy village play on him.

Zoids: Wild / int_c75df49a	comment	Shout-Out: Presumably, Quade's yellow Zaber Fang is meant to be a nod to the Hanshin Tigers, like the Zaber Fangs in New Century were. Gigaboss's Japanese name, Gallagher, is transliterated as "Galaga" on the sticker sheet included with his Zoid, Death Rex. It even uses a similar but distinct type face, implying this was intentional. Speaking of Gigaboss's Zoid, its design takes very heavy cues from the Power Rangers reboot, specifically the T. rex Battle Zord. Drake and Gigaboss both pilot a Gilraptor with similar design features, Drake's specifically sharing the same color scheme. Gigaboss's secret Zoid Demise looks even more like it, including a pair of "wings" of similar shape to the side-mounted guns of the Battle Zord. When Numb-Lock believes that Liger is about to fall into his lap, he quips "I can feel it coming in the air tonight." Numb-Lock's Zoid Dragz has a vent-like detail on its forehead similar to Optimus Prime's. This doubles up as a shout-out to Optimus Primal, and even appears to be similar in design to concept art for the character's live action movie series design. One of Numb-Lock's minions shouts "My body is ready!" after taking off his "sumo suit".

Zoids: Wild / int_e5421161	comment	Expy: Many Zoids are based on older ones, rather than just being new designs based on the same animals. (Wild) Liger is one for Liger Zero, being a legendary white Liger with massive untapped potential and a primarily claw-based attak. Zaber Fang is based on the one from previous series. While it's called Fang Tiger in the Japanese version, its similarity is still intentional. Command Wolf gets one in the form of Alpha Shadow, including having a back-mounted jet booster/cannon rather than a blade weapon. Demise is treated with the same fear and reverence as Death Saurer. It also shares some similarities with Berserk Fury. The Dark Metal Empire's Deleters wear masks that, combined with their clothing and punk rock style spikes give a similar impression to Borderlands's Psychos. RAP Squad, the DME gang that Arashi meets early on, have more than a few similarities to Team Rocket including Tempo and Oldskool sharing Jessie and James's exact hair colors respectively. Boombox, their Ambiguously Human partner, has a lot in common with Meowth. And despite being on semi-friendly terms for the most part, frequently try to capture the main character's animal partner. Master Bug is an almost 1-for-1 copy of Master Roshi, from being a super strong mentor who teaches the main character to become the strongest fighter in the world all the way down to his love of attactive young women.

Zoids: Wild / int_f48540c7	type	King of Beasts
Zoids: Wild / int_f48540c7	comment	King of Beasts: Liger's power is explicitly stated to be tied to his status as a Lion-type Zoid. As such, his Wild Blast is called King Claw. This is part of the reason why the DME want him so badly. It's also the only reason why he's able to stand a chance against Demise, as the two kings fight for dominance.

He refuses to back down from any challenge, especially if someone claims he's too scared or weak to win. It doesn't matter if it's Zoid battling, an eating contest, or foot racing. Gigaboss, originally Marcellus, to the point of wanting to take over the world.

Zoids: Wild / int_f910567	comment	This Is a Drill: Spineless, Greta's silkworm Zoid, has a tunnel borer as its Wild Blast. It can tunnel through the ground as well as deal massive damage to other Zoids. Demise's Dark Blast involves using its "wings" to ensnare and hold its target still, while its mouth splits all the way down its neck and extending a glowing-hot 4-pronged drill straight into the victim.

It's half of what allows a bond that can unlock Wild Blast (the other being Hot-Blooded enough). And it gives Arashi the strength to perfect his control over Awakened Wild Blast and defeat Gigaboss.

Zoids: Wild / int_fd94c4ac	comment	Theme Naming: Edible Theme Naming: The Japanese version could be mistaken as having had Akira Toriyama come up with the names, because about half the cast is named after food. Unusually, they don't follow any particular patterns - anyone can be named after a food or not without regard to alliance, position, or where they come from. Family Theme Naming: Arashi's family is a climatic one: It means "storm" in japanese. His father is name Ikazuchi (thunder) and his grandfather is named Taifun/Typhoon.

Zoids: Wild / int_ff070bbd	type	Attack! Attack! Attack!
Zoids: Wild / int_ff070bbd	comment	Attack! Attack! Attack!: How Arashi starts out once he partners up with Liger. Quade quickly teaches him that this strategy isn't always a very good one. How Drake fights, as well. However, using Dark Blast and Wild Blast, after his Heel–Face Turn with his Gilraptor Ruin has the speed to back it up, meaning very few can do anything to fight back. Gigaboss fights this way mainly because his main Zoid is a Gilraptor like Drake's, giving him the same advantages. When he breaks out his Death Rex, Demise, he just has the advantage of being able to tank almost any attack while having one of the biggest, most powerful Zoids to make up for a lack of strategy. This ends up being his undoing.
