Leo Conrad is a fictional character from Zoids: Wild ZERO. He is the main protagonist of the series.

Overview[]

Zoids Wild ZERO[]

Leo is introduced in episode 1. During a confrontation with the Empire, his Zoid Factor is awakened by exposure to Sally Land's pendant. His Zoid evolves to become the Beast Liger.

After his encounter with Sally, he travels with her and his partner Buzz in search of her grandfather Walter Borman, and later to look for Regeneration Cubes.

Being couriers Leo and Buzz are technically neutral to the ongoing conflict with the Empire and the Republic. None the less, they are dragged into several battles. Early on this cumulates to an assault of the Genospino against the Republic. In this battle, his Zoid further evolves into the Rising Liger, which he retains for the rest of the series. Leo is ultimately able to defeat the Genospino, and becomes a Republican hero in the process (although he refuses official severance).

Sides flip later in the series, when the Empire is attacked by the Omega Rex, where Leo again sorties to defeat the Zoid.

Leo becomes a trusted ally of both the Empire and the Republic. His Zoid Factor allows him to interface with the Regeneration Cubes, and he becomes instrumental in the race to save the planet against the destructive wishes of Frank Land and later, Electora Gate.

Leo's Zoid Factor also allows him to remotely interface with the Zero Grizis. A terrible power that threatens all life on the planet. Leo eventually stands up to the Zoid, defeating it and activating the final regeneration network, saving the planet in the process.

Personality[]

Leo Conrad is a hot-headed, young man with the adventurous sense of carefree and enjoyment. He spends more time in training with Beast Liger/Rising Liger. Although, his ground-based Zoid is useless against aerial-based Zoids like Sniptera piloted by Christopher Giller. Despite his defeat fewer times, he made himself strong with the rest of many adventures/misadventures. After besting off many imperial soldiers, Leo begins to have a new romantic relationship with Sally Land. With the support Buzz Cunningham and his friends, Leo Conrad remained hopeful and valiant. He never gives up during wars and adventures.

Abilities[]

EGgjOJ7UEAAsV0s — Leo Anime Concept Sheet

Zoid Pilot: Self-taught, developed from daily use with Liger as transportation and partner.

Leo's proves to be a very capable pilot. After undergoing his transformation, Leo's body is extremely tough, so much so that he doesn't need a special suit to activate a Wild Blast. His Zoid is also very strong. The base liger possesses good manoeuvrability, and the Beast Liger good melee weapons. The Rising Liger adds to this by also having inbuilt guns and ranged weapons. With optional parts, the Liger can be an extremely powerful asset, as it's capable of using the Gravity Cannon.

Leo and his Zoid prove to be a decisive factor in many confrontations.
