==Series Background==
 
==Series Background==
  +
In the 21st century planet Earth was rendered inhospitable to life, and people mass-migrated to [[Planet Zi]], the natural home of metallic life forms known as Zoids.
Zoids are a metallic lifeform from a far side of the Milky Way Galaxy. However, their planet was coming to an end. To promote their chance of survival, a warp was to take place to planet Earth. However, due to an unforseen ''Zoids factor'', the warp took them through time and place to the 21st century. The resulting cataclysm shifted tectonic plates on Earth and reshaped the continents.
 
  +
  +
Many years later, Zi faces its end. Its inhabitants partake the journey to migrate back to Earth.
  +
  +
Attempting to regenerate the Earth to make it hospitable, the migrants come up with a "Zi-Forming" scheme.
  +
  +
However, the plan fails and Earth is left in its state of turmoil. Overrun by Zoids and blanked by unstable weather phenomena, the migrants are faced with a difficult life. The Empire and Republic settlements attempt to uncover Zoids buried within the Earth to bolster their respective armies.
  +
  +
The story picks up following second-generation Earth citizens: [[Leo Conrad]] and [[Buzz Cunningham]], who have a chance encounter with a girl [[Sally Land]] as she flees the clutches of the Empire.

  +
The story revolves around Sally's search for her grandfather [[Walter Borman|Dr Borman]], a researcher who worked on the Zi-Forming scheme. He bestowed her a pendant at the start of the series, with instructions to never hand it over to the Empire.
The story picks up when the main character, Leo, uncovers the [[Beast Liger]] and sets fourth on a journey with a girl called Sally. After he loses the [[Beast Liger]], he evolves it into [[Rising Liger]]
 
  +
  +
A competing researcher for the Empire: [[Frank Land|Dr Land]] seeks to find Sally's pendant.
  +
  +
The pendant is shown to possess strange powers, transforming Leo's Zoid into the [[Beast Liger]], and later interacting with Regeneration Cubes - artefacts left over from the failed Zi-Forming scheme.
  +
  +
As Leo, Sally, and their comrades journey, they begin to uncover more of what the pendant can do, the relationship between the two scientists, and how it all relates to the Zi-Forming of Earth.

Zoids Wild ZERO (ゾイドワイルドZERO) is an anime series, linked to the Zoids toyline of the same name. It is the sixth Zoids series, following Zoids: Wild in order of production. Despite being similarly named, Zoids: Wild ZERO is unrelated to the series Zoids: Wild.

Series Background

In the 21st century planet Earth was rendered inhospitable to life, and people mass-migrated to Planet Zi, the natural home of metallic life forms known as Zoids.

Many years later, Zi faces its end. Its inhabitants partake the journey to migrate back to Earth.

Attempting to regenerate the Earth to make it hospitable, the migrants come up with a "Zi-Forming" scheme.

However, the plan fails and Earth is left in its state of turmoil. Overrun by Zoids and blanked by unstable weather phenomena, the migrants are faced with a difficult life. The Empire and Republic settlements attempt to uncover Zoids buried within the Earth to bolster their respective armies.

The story picks up following second-generation Earth citizens: Leo Conrad and Buzz Cunningham, who have a chance encounter with a girl Sally Land as she flees the clutches of the Empire.

Plot

The story revolves around Sally's search for her grandfather Dr Borman, a researcher who worked on the Zi-Forming scheme. He bestowed her a pendant at the start of the series, with instructions to never hand it over to the Empire.

A competing researcher for the Empire: Dr Land seeks to find Sally's pendant.

The pendant is shown to possess strange powers, transforming Leo's Zoid into the Beast Liger, and later interacting with Regeneration Cubes - artefacts left over from the failed Zi-Forming scheme.

As Leo, Sally, and their comrades journey, they begin to uncover more of what the pendant can do, the relationship between the two scientists, and how it all relates to the Zi-Forming of Earth.

Trivia

  • Zoids: Wild ZERO is not a sequel to the series Zoids: Wild, despite being produced second. The sequel to Zoids: Wild, is Zoids: Wild 2, which runs as a Corocoro comic manga.
  • This season is directed by Takao Kato, who also directed Zoids: Chaotic Century and also served as a director in Zoids: New Century.
  • Kenichi Araki (Chaotic Century) is handling series composition, Tadashi Sakazaki (Chaotic Century) is in charge of character designs. Yūki Matsuoka (Wild/Genesis) as sound director, and Yoshihisa Hirano is the music composer.
  • The written language used in-universe is a simple substitution cipher for the English alphabet, as such the runes seen in the series can be translated.
  • In a post-credit scene for Zoids: Wild ZERO Episode 30, Leo hints at the events in Zoids: Chaotic Century, meaning Zoids Wild ZERO would be in that timeline (albeit an extremely distant future)
