Overview[]

Douglas Aldridge[2] is the primary villain of Zoids: Wild ZERO. He first appears at the end of episode 3, but makes his main debut in episode 4 where he attacks a Republican research facility that were digging up ruins. He initially pilots the Stylaser, and proves to be a powerful enemy in that initial encounter.

Aldridge gains a much more prominent role at the end of episode 11. Initially Giller is intended to pilot the Genospino for the Empire, under the command of Brigadier General Collins. However, Collins falls ill and his responsibilities are handed over to Brigadier General Shigaru. Shigaru replaces Giller with Aldrige as the Genospino's pilot. As such, from episode 12 Aldrige is the main pilot of Genospino.

After the fall of the Genospino, Aldridge is not significantly heard from until episode 20, where Aldridge is tasked by Frank Land, to obtain Sally Land's pendant. To do this, Dr Land gives Aldridge a Fang Tiger Kai.

Aldridge uses this Zoid to engage Leo and Sally in episode 22. While he's unsuccessful in capturing Sally, Luc succeeds during the confusion of Aldridge's fight.

Here, Aldridge's fate changes. Dr Land uses the pendant to power the Charged Particle Cannon of the Omega Rex, and alongside it, Shigaru establishes the "True Empire".

Aldridge is quick to side with his benefactors, joining the True Empire.

He fights with them using the Fang Tiger up until episode 40. There, he's forced to pilot the Omega Rex in order to stand up to the Empire and Republic forces. Notably at this point, the Omega Rex is unable to fire its Charged Particle Cannon, due to not having access to the pendant still held by Dr Land.

He says goodbye to the Fang Tiger, and sorties in the Omega Rex. In a heated battle, he is defeated by the Leo Conrad's Rising Liger equipped with Buster Cannons.

At the fall of the Omega Rex, Aldridge is seen being taken away in captivity, still swearing loyalty to the True Empire. He is not seen again after this.
