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
Subs by Falcarius
Unleash your instincts!
Wild Blast!
UNLEASHED
INSTINCTS
Th-this is... Grachiosaurus's Wild Blast!
Monster Tortoise! That Man is the Zoid Professor
Wow... There really is nothing here at all.
Hmm? What is it, Liger?
Are you hungry?
Of course not.
There's something here!
Hey! Wait up!
What's the rush, Liger?
Wh-what is this...?
Gwaah! Oh heck, oh heck, oh heck!
Owww...
Liger!
What?
Oooh! We caught one, we caught one!
It's been a while since we had a big one!
I sure wasn't expecting that Wild Liger everyone's looking for...
Who are you guys!? Where is this!?
Chief! Can you see this?
Of course I can see something so huge.
Big bro, solve this for me...
You idiot! What's the point of getting someone else to solve your wire puzzle?
You call yourself my little brother?
Big bro... Little brother?
That little human, and this big, rare Zoid.
They were drawn like moths to a flame!
Big bro, all Zoids are huge to begin with.
Silence!
Youngster, I am Macaroni, chief of this Zoid research and development facility, nicknamed the "Jail"!
Don't you know just from looking at me?
Of course I don't know the name of someone I'm meeting for the first time!
And this is my little brother Chikuwa, head of research and development here.
Don't you know just from looking?
Like I said, of course I don't know. Huh?
The Wild Liger, huh? It seems like it'd be worth taking apart.
I'd love to take it to bits soon and do all sorts of research...
What!?
Hey, can I, big bro?
If you're going to take it apart, take care not to make it obvious.
I'm going to present it to Master Caviar so he recognises me as the one who accomplished this glorious achievement,
and promotes me to chief of an even more advanced laboratory!
Take apart the Liger? Don't be ridiculous!
Don't panic. We're not going to take it apart just yet.
Take that youngster away!
Yes, sir!
What're you doing!? Let me go!
Liger!
If it moves, the Electric Zapper Stun Shackles will activate to punish it automatically.
Hey! Take this one away too!
Yes, head of development and research!
Ligerrrrrr!
Let me out!
If you do anything more to the Liger, I'll beat you to a pulp!
"Liger"?
Huh?
You just said "Liger", right?
Whoa, you startled me! Who are you?
By "Liger", could you mean the Wild Liger?
W-well, yes...
The legendary Wild Liger is here!?
That super-rare Zoid with the ability to hold its own against a hundred medium-sized Zoids, and whose claw attacks are in the top level even amongst all rare species?
The one that was thought to have gone extinct already, and despite all sorts of Zoid Hunters searching for it, has remained as a creature of legend for half a century without any new information, meaning its value is now at the national level?
Whoa, you're awesome!
I'm Arashi. Who are you?
I'm Onigiri. Pleased to meet you.
Don't tell me you've been caught too?
Yes. Those brothers tricked me and brought me here.
They buttered me up by calling me the Zoid Professor...
And they said they'd let me research Zoids as much as I liked...
Heheh...
Until then, people had called me "obsessed" or "creepy", I didn't have any friends,
and nobody had accepted me, so that made me really happy.
But it was all a lie so that they could force me to do that.
What do you mean, "that"?
Duplicating a Death Metal Key.
A Death Metal Key?
A key used on Zoids that have been excavated from underground and reconstructed,
to make them do a "Death Blast" - in other words, a forced unleash.
A Death Blast...
Is that the thing Drake was using?
Death Metal Keys are special items that only Emperor Gallagher and his Elite Four can handle.
So they told me to make duplicate keys so all of the Empire's soldiers could use them...
I see...
But if you don't want to, shouldn't you just run away?
I wish I could!
But I can't just abandon my partner and run off!
Partner... You mean a Zoid?
The Gannontoise. He's my precious partner.
And yet... I...
I've been using the Gannontoise to do dangerous experiments on duplicate keys...
Hold on a minute! You're using your partner as a guinea pig!?
There's nothing I can do! Are you saying I should run away and leave the Gannontoise behind!?
They say they'll release me and the Gannontoise if I can perfect the duplicate keys!
They might be lying, but right now I have no choice but to believe them.
Onigiri...
I'll never forgive them!
Prisoner number 5656!
[TN: 5656 is a goroawase wordplay on CoroCoro, the magazine which runs the Zoids Wild manga]
It's time. I'm opening the door!
Let's go, Onigiri.
Huh?
So heavy...
Hmm? That backpack is bulging like crazy.
Just how many tools are you bringing today?
Ah, I was just thinking that I need to perfect the key quickly...
How awful...
They're treating Zoids like objects!
Shut up! Stay quiet!
Zoid Professor!
Come on, perfect the replica of the Death Metal Key for me today, so that I can be promoted!
U-understood, Chief Macaroni!
I've given it a version upgrade from last time, so that should have improved the bugs...
You'd better perfect it before the Gannontoise gives out, hadn't you?
Then again, we've got plenty of Zoids to replace it!
What are you saying, foolish little brother?
Don't you know this is your fault for being such a worthless head of research and development, you foolish little brother?
You don't have to call me foolish twice, big bro...
GANNONTOISE
(Proganochelys Type)
Is that the Gannontoise?
I'm sorry, Gannontoise...
Stop it!
What's taking you so long?
Honestly, you should just get used to this already.
Hurry it up! Stick the key in!
Okay! I'll do it!
It's crying?
Stop it...!
Another failure today?
It's not going into a Death Blast state at all.
What on earth are we doing wrong?
The number of wires? The connection points?
Who knows? Wire puzzles aren't that easy to solve either, big bro.
Don't liken this to something so petty, little brother!
Anyway, do it again!
Huh?
Listen, you'll do this as many times as it takes!
Hurry it up! Don't just lie there sniffling!
Those jerks...!
You two!
Hmm?
I can't take any more of this!
You've gotta be kidding me!
Zoids aren't objects! I'm gonna destroy this horrible lab!
What's with this thing?
What's got into it?
This isn't good!
You've got spirit, youngster!
But...
You're the one who's going to be destroyed!
Wooow!
That's... a Raptor!
A Velociraptor-type with extraordinarily high jumping power produced by its leg dampers, as well as excellent capabilities at investigating its surroundings and pursuing enemies!
Plus!
The stag beetle-type Kuwaga, whose radar tubes on its back grant it excellent long-range detection abilities, and whose mandibles can grab enemies with great force and pulverise them, thereby achieving excellent offensive power!
Impressive, but you go on way too long.
Impressive, but you get on my nerves.
We don't need your trivia!
Youngsters, I shall crush anyone who interferes with my promotion!
What!?
That's...!
Yeah! This is-
The legendary lion-type, Wild Liger! Amazing!
Say your prayers, Dumbo and Noisy!
Which are you calling Dumbo?
Which are you calling Noisy?
Both of you!
Can you feel the awful signs in this place too?
Alright! Let's wreck them together, Liger!
Dammit, they stuck those weird things on you!
Let's go, little brother!
Yeah, big bro!
Watch out! That's the Kuwaga and Raptor's combination attack!
What!?
Damn it!
Hahahahaha!
He broke our perfect combination attack!
Are you okay, Liger?
Just what I'd expect from the legendary Wild Liger.
But!
N-no way!
I'm the man who's going to be the chief of an even more advanced laboratory!
As if I would yield that easily!
Raptor, forced unleash! Death Blast!
What!?
You can't! That key's not perfected yet, it's dange-
FORCED
UNLEASH
Amazing, big bro! You succeeded at a Death Blast!
Let's go!
Liger! Are you okay?
We won't give up.
We'll never give up!
Arashi...
Alright... Let's go, partner!
Blaze on! Liger!
With my soul!
Unleash your instincts!
Wild Blast!
UNLEASHED
INSTINCTS
That's the Liger's Wild Blast!
Wild Blast? Who cares! I'll finish you off!
What!?
It's putting too much of a burden on it!
Like I thought, it's impossible to do a full forced unleash with that key!
What's wrong with you? Charge!
Cut him down! King Of Claw!
Big bro!
Little brother... I haven't lost... yet...
Bleargh...
You've well and truly lost...
In that case, I'll do it!
Arashi! The Kuwaga's weak point is the radar tubes on its back!
If you destroy those, it'll lose its sense of direction and be thrown off balance!
Alright!
Don't tell him stuff he doesn't need to know!
I'll silence that fanboy mouth of yours!
Gannontoise!
You saved me...
Even though I did such awful things to you...
Hey. Have you forgotten about me?
Let's go, Gannontoise!
Arashi! Leave the rest to me!
I'll do this. I need to do this!
This is for my big bro!
Ahhh, he's too fast!
You're just too slow!
There's no way I can aim for the radar tubes!
They believed in me...
Gannontoise! We'll settle this!
Rage, Gannontoise!
With my soul!
Unleash your instincts!
Wild Blast!
UNLEASHED
INSTINCTS
Destroy him, Gannontoise!
Tortoise Light Cannon!
Foolish little brother, hurry up and get off me!
I did it! Big bro! I got it apart!
You fool, now's not the-
Big bro! What do we do?
You imbecile! Run!
So that's what happened...
That concludes our report, Master Caviar.
I see...
Well, the Jail was kind of like a bonus part of this Prison, so it's no big deal.
D-does that mean you forgive us?
Of course...
...it doesn't.
Ah, hello, Drake? This is quite the pickle.
Since you let the Liger get away, it's totally destroyed the Jail.
What are you going to do about this?
You sure can do it when it counts! You did great!
But... I did such awful things back there...
What are you talking about?
Anyway, I've taken a liking to you.
Arashi...
Thank you!
Let's go! Together!
Okay!
What's this?
It's a Team Freedom badge.
Now you and I are teammates!
Really? Teammates?
Yeah!
Now, let's set off...
adventuring!
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

wonderful journey

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
Onigiri! What is the shell on the Gannontoise's back useful for?
It has that shell to protect itself from enemy attacks.
I see!
Also, the Gannontoise is a Proganochelys-type Zoid with excellent defensive capabilities!
I se-
Not only that, but when it uses its Wild Blast, it can open up its shell to reveal the Gannon Cannon!
I s-
And that Gannon Cannon launches a powerful finishing attack called Tortoise Light Cannon to take out its enemies!
As for its destructive power, it can even smash distant boulders into tiny bits, and not just pebbles, right down to sand-
Too much information!
