| 001 | 01. “The Boy from Planet Zi” | February 18, 2002 |
| Synopsis: |
| Van is a young boy living in a small village on the Planet Zi. Inspired by the sacrifice of his father to protect their village, Van dreams of one day becoming a great zoid pilot, constantly searching nearby ruins for a zoid of his very own. He is attacked by desert bandits while on his hover board one day, and is forced to take refuge in the ruins he has been in many times before. The barrage of the attack causes a previously undiscovered door to fall off its hinges, leading to a room with two mechanical cocoons. Upon activation of the first cocoon, the organoid Zeke emerges, is quick to bond with Van, and together, the two are able to fend off the enemy attack long enough to escape the ruins. Zeke is able to merge with an old Shield Liger, rusted after decades of neglect, and restores it before using it to help Van defeat the bandits in three-on-one zoid combat. Upon their victory, Zeke and Van return to the ruins, activating the second pod, thinking it would be another organoid like Zeke, but much to their surprise, a girl with amnesia emerges. With his new Zoids and mystery companion in tow, Van sets out to discover the girl's identity and become a great Zoid pilot like his father before him. |

| 002 | 02. “The Mysterious Fiona” | February 19, 2002 |
| Synopsis: |
| Realizing Zeke is an organoid, the Desert Alcavaleno Gang decides to steal him in order to give him to “a certain somebody”, attempting to regain some unknown former position or rank. Meanwhile, the girl, who remembers that her name is Fiona, continues to annoy Van with her constant questions, naiveté, and point-blank uninformed honesty as they return to Van's home village. He introduces Zeke and Fiona to his sister Maria and the rest of the town, explaining how they both emerged from pods, and how Fiona had lost her memory. The bandits attack while Van is out giving Fiona a tour of the area in the Liger, taking Maria hostage in exchange for Zeke. Feeling trapped, the townspeople don't want Van to get hurt like his father, so they tie him up and take Zeke to the bandits themselves for a hostage trade. Van gets free thanks to Fiona's naive nature (she unties him simply because he asked her to!), and is able to come to the rescue of the townspeople. Before Zeke can merge with the Shield Liger however, the Liger gets damaged and Zeke is knocked unconscious. Before the Liger is destroyed, Zeke is apparently awakened through some mysterious ability of Fiona's. After the battle, the townsfolk accept Van's choice to leave his town in his new role as a zoid pilot, following in his father's footsteps as he chases after Fiona's memories. |

By the time Van and Fiona wake up, Irvine is gone. Van and Fiona make it back to the Liger and Zeke. Later, they find themselves in an ancient fortress. A Gordos attacks them and tries to prevent their entry to the ruins, but Van and Fiona find another way in through a sewer. As they search through the ruins they find a diary of a soldier who was stationed at the fortress fifty years early, and through reading it learn that the Gordos was abandoned by the soldier due to its damaged leg. Meanwhile, Irvine shows up and starts to attack the Gordos with a barrage of headbutts and tackles, but then retreats due to some minor damage. After Van fixes the Gordos, Fiona finds an ancient tablet that makes her remember a mysterious object known as the “Zoid Eve”. Irvine reappears and launches an assault in which Van gets caught. Fiona and Zeke escape through a tunnel but are confronted by Irvine. Van defends them with the Shield Liger.

Fiona explains that she can hear water. Van says that she must be kidding, there's plenty of water in the tank if she needs it. By morning Fiona had thrown all the water out of the tank because it smelt bad. Van is dismayed and told her that it had his special protein power in it. Van falls down and sees a mirage of Fiona pouring all the water on the ground. Irvine comes in when Fiona had just led Van to some fresh water. Thinking it was just a couple bandits, Irvine finds out it is just Van. Irvine fills Van in on the details in which that he is a protector and how these bandits attacked on a specific set date. Today was one of those set dates. He confirmed the gang to be the Desert Alcavaleno Gang, the same thugs that had attacked Van's village and tried to take Zeke. The enemy had a Red Horn, two Command Wolves, two Molgas, a Guysack and a Redler. Van quickly jumps in and becomes a protector and learns what an aquifer is. The fighting starts and Irvine quickly knocks out a Molga and partially damages a Command Wolf. Just then Van jumps in with the Shield Liger and takes the Guysack out with no problem. He heads up to the Red Horn and the Command Wolves, while Irvine leaves and tries to take out the Redler. He goes into the cliffs and jumps in on the Redler, thereby knocking it out. Van launches his missiles where an aquifer is and knocks out the Command Wolves but the Red Horn still survives due to its amazing armor; it charges Van. Irvine comes out of the canyons and shoots the Red Horn down just in time. After the fight is won, Van and Irvine talk about it. Van figures out that Irvine believes in him. |

| Synopsis: |
| After saving the village from the Desert Alcavaleno Gang, the Shield Liger had some pretty serious damage. Van almost has a heart-attack when he finds out that Fiona ate his Papaya. A little while after that, they meet a sassy girl called Moonbay. She checks out his Shield Liger and sees that the front-back leg had some missile damage on it. They talk until a couple of sleeper Guysacks attack them. With Moonbay's Gustav weighted down by the heavy load, she can't put any weapons on it. Just then, Irvine comes and saves the day again by destroying all of the Guysacks except one that managed to slip by and cause him some damage. Moonbay finds a good place to camp out for the night, an ancient fortress base. Both the Command Wolf and the Shield Liger had taken on pretty serious damage. Irvine gets suspicious and asked Moonbay if her cargo had any Imperial firepower. Moonbay verified that and told Irvine that it was all loaded with Imperial arms and that they would explode if anything hid it. At dinner, Van tells Moonbay and Irvine what they have been doing. Van, Fiona and Zeke go off for a treasure hunt and wind up swimming. During his swim, Van finds the remains of a Zoid. Irvine goes to get his electromagnetic whip to get Zeke and just then more sleeper Guysacks start attacking. Irvine figures that it was a sleeper trap. The Guysacks they fought earlier were just decoys that led them into the ruins so that they could be surrounded very easily. The remains that Van saw were one of its captured prey that the sleepers successfully defeated. Moonbay took her cargo and went out the back with Van while Irvine made a complete 360 and came around. There is a fierce battle with just two zoids against more than a battalion of sleepers. Moonbay drives half of them her way. Then Van and Irvine show up again but this time Moonbay decides to jettison her cargo and she leaves. When the Guysacks start attacking the ammunition it blows them all up. Moonbay returns and asked Van to be her protector. |

They take them prisoner after a scuffle and impound the zoids. Irvine reveals his true resourcefulness when he uses a hidden trick to break himself out and Van along with him. Van promises to come back for the girls and takes off with Irvine for the Zoids. Zeke and the Liger merge and Van and Irvine take off through the base. The Republican soldiers mobilize several Petras and try to stop them. Out of the base, Van tries to lose the soldiers among the crevices, but when he's backed into a corner and goes for the ammunition he finds out the zoids were stripped of their firepower and is chastised by Irvine for his stupidity. Irvine tries to figure out a way to save his own skin when Van gets an idea and starts running the Liger at the walls of the canyon. He bounces from side to side gaining altitude, and finally clears the canyon, taking out two of the Republicans following them. He makes a try for the third, piloted by Capt. Herman. Irvine, showing that he's actually beginning to like the kid, offers a hand, and coordinates jumps with the Command Wolf so that at its peak jump from the canyon the Liger could jump off it and strike Herman who thought he was just high enough. The pilots of the Petras bail, and as he's floating down Herman makes a respectful note of Van's achievements. The episode ends with Major Schubaltz of the Empire preparing his forces for the assault on the Republicans at Red River, and Irvine scouting around. |

| After Van finally revives Zeke with the Zoid Magnite, Zeke needs some time to recover. Major Schubaltz joins and the Imperial unit is delayed due to an avalanche of rocks. The delay is really severe they are delayed at least 2 hours. Marcus believes that it had to have been a fluke. Major Schubaltz on the other hand believes this was no fluke, it was the work of Colonel Krueger and that he knew exactly what he was doing. The severe losses due to the Chronos Fortress and this delay with rocks was no fluke. It startes to rain and the roof starts leaking where Van and the others are at. Colonel Krueger gives the command of Mt. Osa base to Major Ford while he pilots the ZG (Gojulas) onto the front lines. At only fifty-percent of its true capability, the ZG still has firepower equivalent to twelve zoids. Irvine sneaks into the base and sees just what they are planning for the upcoming battle against the Empire. The advancing Imperial unit is caught by surprise with several sleeper Guysacks. The Iron Kong, under the control of Major Schubaltz, takes out all the Guysacks with just one round of its 70mm chain guns. Up above them under the cover of thick storm clouds, four Pteras' under the command of Captain Herman from Red River Base comes here to assist with the battle. Back at the deserted village Van asks Dr. D where he can find Irvine. With some reluctance Dr. D tells Van that he is at the Mount Osa Base. Van quickly gets in the Shield Liger and runs off to rescue Irvine. While in the Mount Osa Base, Irvine and Colonel Krueger are having a pilot to pilot talk with each other about the zoids. Captain Herman arrives at the base with his Pteras squadron, but instead of Colonel Krueger, Captain Herman will be piloting the ZG. The advancing Imperial unit makes it to the Mount Osa Base and starts attacking them, but unfortunately, Colonel Krueger is caught in one of the rounds and is hurt. Fortunately, it's not bad. Herman jumps into the cockpit of the ZG and starts his one-zoid barrage against the Imperial Army. Van makes it to the base safely and rescues Irvine right before he falls to the ground. He also learns that he doesn't need Zeke to access the power of the Shield Liger, that he can do it on his own. As Raven looks on, Herman takes out most of the Imperial Army forces, until Major Schubaltz starts retreating. After that Herman grounds the Gojulas. |

| There's a parade in New Helic City celebrating the Republican's latest victory and Irvine, Moonbay, and Fiona watch it. Van and Zeke wander away and see a lone Imperial soldier being harassed by some Republicans. The Imperial soldier had escaped and was trying to get away from the city. Van feels that the right thing to do is to help him, so he and Zeke chase the Republicans away. The soldier runs away and drops a picture of him and his mother, and Van picks it up. He meets the others at a cafe and tells them what happened. Irvine leaves for a moment and Moonbay says that they should go to the institute that specializes in ancient ruins. Just then, a few trucks pull up with Republican guards in them and one of the them is the person that Van and Zeke had chased away (he had told the guards about how Van helped the Imperial soldier). The guards accuse him of being an Imperial spy and don't believe that Hermann gave them their letter that he wrote for them. Irvine drives up in a jeep, throws a smoke bomb, and Van and the others get in and drive away with Zeke running after them. Irvine drives until one of the tires on his jeep is shot, and then they start running. The run into a dead end, but then a guy wearing a frog mask that covers his whole head pops out of the sewer. He takes them down into the sewer while a balloon is released to distract the guards. Irvine takes off the guy's mask and he turns out to be Dr. D! Dr. D takes them to the institute and they break in. They explore the building and find a huge rock pillar with ancient writing on it, like the one Fiona was looking at when she first said 'Zoid Eve', but Fiona doesn't remember anything and just gets a headache. Then they are surrounded and captured by Republican soldiers. Meanwhile, a large iceberg is headed towards the city. A lady informs the President (President Camford) about the prisoners, Hermann (her son), and the letter (they can't confirm if it's real because Herman is away checking out the iceberg). A guard laughs at Van and tells him that Zeke has been taken away and will be dissected. Van yells at him and then the President and the lady enter. Van yells at them too, but finds out that the old lady is the President and that Hermann is her son. The President sees Dr. D with them and lets them out. Later, Van and Zeke meet up happily and the President asks Dr. D to help out the Republic in the war, but Dr. D doesn't want to be dragged into another one. Van and the others are looking at the city when they see explosions. The Imperial soldier Van helped has stolen a powerful modified Command Wolf and is fighting some Republic zoids on the streets. Later, Van and the others look at the damage and Van becomes really angry, drops the soldier's picture, and runs off with Zeke. Meanwhile, the soldier is running away from the city when he sees a Shield Liger ahead of him. Van yells at him and the soldier attacks out of fear. Van blocks the shots with his shield, and then knocks him over with his shield and the guy is thrown out of the cockpit. The soldier runs, but Van leaps out of his zoid and chases after him. He jumps on the guy screaming and asking how he could do that. The guy says he was afraid and just trying to get away. Van nearly punches him and starts crying. Irvine and the others arrive and Irvine yells for the soldier to leave or else, and he does. Dr. D tells Van that he did the right thing by helping the soldier, because a life is a life. It doesn't matter if it's a Republican or Imperial one. Van still cries, though. Meanwhile, Hermann, in a Pteras with two other Pteras units, checks out the iceberg and shoots it to make sure everything's okay, but then he sees oil near the bottom of it. Missiles are launched from the iceberg and snow appears. Then the two other Pteras units are shot down and Hermann tries to contact New Helic City, but can't (due to the jamming snow). Hermann is then shot down. Beneath the iceberg, there is a large Imperial submarine. Inside the submarine is Prozen, planning an attack on New Helic City. |

Minister Prozen gives the details of how Rudolph would leave the palace. He would be flying in a Redler guarded by two or three Rev. Raptors basic models at that. The mission would be to take Rudolph out as quickly as possible and most importantly make it look like the Republicans had done it.

| Synopsis: |
| The episode begins with RD, the main character of Zoids: Fuzors, running (illegally) through the streets of Blue City in his Liger Zero. The Peace Keeping Bureau's (PKB's) chief, Gummie, attempts to apprehend him by blocking off a tunnel with his Gojulas Giga, however, this fails to stop RD, who weaves past him and escapes. With that Gummie gives up and decides not to give chase. RD returns to his team's headquarters, hoping to get a job. Although he isn't given the role he wanted (rounding up wild Zoids), he is given a courier job instead, with Helmut and Sigma taking the former role. After some moping, eventually RD arrives at a shady factory, who give him the role of delivering some “high-tech components” to Easytown. Soon, he calls his Liger and heads off. In the meantime Sigma and Helmut complete their job, while Hop and Sweet watch a Zoid battle on TV. The duel is between Rastani's Black Impact Team, comprising of three Blade Ligers, versus the Renegade Force, a team consisting of three unmodified Godos, which, unsurprisingly, are quickly defeated. It is also revealed that RD's package is actually a cargo of illegal jewels, something which the Savage Hammer Team learned by bugging the crimelord's desk. They assign Blake to track down RD and steal his cargo. Despite RD having set out long before Blake, Blake catches up to him in no time and manages to attack RD, knocking him over before he has a chance to react. After a quick introduction, Blake charges RD with his Berserk Fury, although RD easily evades it this time. RD turns and runs as Blake gives chase, blasting RD from behind with his Fury's lasers missing with every shot. RD heads for a section of rocky terrain, running to the the right of the obstacles while Blake takes the left, allowing RD to leap over the rocks and attack Blake from above, knocking down the Fury, which quickly gets up and again starts shooting at RD, again missing with every shot. Eventually Burton arrives in his Lord Gale and shoots RD from above. He begins bickering with Blake, but nonetheless the two attack RD. Although they manage to hit RD once more, it is RD who get the first real blow, slicing the Lord Gale's spear clean off. In the heat of the exchange, RD's package falls off his Liger and opens, whereupon RD notices the true contents of the package. Only with the arrival of the PKB does the battle end, as Blake and Burton retreat. It turns out that Amy, a member of Mach Storm, tipped off the PKB in exchange for some of the jewels as a reward. The episode ends with a crowd watching as Rastani's entire team is quickly totalled (off screen) by the Dark Assassin's Killer Spiner fuzor. |

| 095 | 02. “1+1=?” | October 11, 2003 |
| Synopsis: |
| In the episode “1+1=?”, Fuzor Zoids are first introduced to in earnest. The episode begins with the battle between Rastani's Black Impact Team and the Dark Assassin's Team, which consists of a Killer Dome and a Dark Spiner. The Dark Assassin begin by Fusing their two Zoids into the Killer Spiner. Unimpressed, one of the Black Impact's Blade Ligers charges the lone opponent, only to crash into the Spiner's energy shield, which snaps the Liger's blade and sends it tumbling across the ground, where it is promptly finished off with a spray of gunfire. Although the remaining Ligers spray the Killer Spiner with fire, it fails to breach the fuzor's shield. Utilising the Killer Dome's claws, the Killer Spiner picks up and throws the Blade Ligers, felling them both in one move. Upon defeat, the commentator remarks about how the act of fusing the two Zoids increased their power virtually tenfold, which is what gave them enough strength to win. (erroniously referring to the teams as “Dark Impact” and “The Black Assassins”) Later, Mach Strom agrees to an exhibition match with the Dark Assassins, although they know that without sufficient information they don't stand a chance against the fuzor. Due to this, RD and Sweet head out to a Zoid Museum to see what information might be available. Unfortunately, the Liger Zero nearly breaks down in the middle of the desert, where they meet Dan, a mechanic who had been stranded after his truck broke down. He offers to help RD out in the upcoming battle and after a brief tune-up, the two return to Blue City (without Sweet). In the meantime, the battle is brought forward, forcing Sigma and Helmut to take on the Dark Assassins on their own. Again, the Dark Assassins fuse their Zoids at the beginning of the battle. Helmut's Command Wolf trades blows with the Killer Spiner, but fails to do any damage, instead he is taken out by the same claw attack that was used to defeat Rastani's Blade Liger. Sigma also opens fire, but despite his shots landing cleanly on the unshielded enemy, they simply do no damage, and the Boldguard is nearly defeated, save for RD showing up and knocking him out of the Killer Spiner's line of fire. This proves fruitless, as Sigma is promptly defeated anyway. Down to RD alone, the Killer Spiner attacks once more, but before it manages to score a successful hit, Amy shows up in her König Wolf and clamps onto the Killer Spiner's neck. She too is swiftly defeated, although the distraction gives RD a chance to use his Strike Laser Claw attack. Like every other attack, this fails to do any damage to the Dark Assassin's Zoid, which uses it's shield to block his charge. Although not defeated, RD's Zoid was rendered unable to move and the Dark Assassins moved in for the kill. It was then that the Killer Spine broke it's fusion and collapsed in a heap, as it's fusion time limit had run out, thus resulting in a draw. The episode ends there, with Sweet still stranded in the desert. |

| Synopsis: |
| The episode begins with Blake and Luke, teammembers of Savage Hammer, overlooking a new Zoid of theirs, the Buster Eagle. Meanwhile, in Mach Storm's headquarters, the team watch a news reel discussing Fuzors, however, the team is left unable to figure out how to fuse two Zoids together. They briefly discuss the Changing Armor System (CAS) utilised extensively in New Century, but dismiss it quickly, as it is unrelated to Fuzors. Eventually, Mach Storm is given the task of ridding a small town of a stray herd of wild Unenlagias. Unbeknownst to them, Blake watches over the mission from a nearby clifftop. Initially successful at stopping the stray Zoids, RD strays off course to herd up more of the Unenlagias, when he is set upon by Blake's Berserk Fury. Blake begins shooting at RD and after failing to land any hits, RD retaliates with a Strike Laser Claw, only to bounce harmlessly off the Berserk Fury's energy shield. Helmut and Sigma finish rounding up the wild Zoids, whereupon Helmut notices a strange sound and goes off to investigate. Blake repeats the exact same moves that he had previously used, again missing with every shot, allowing RD to charge at him for a Laser Claw attack, although this time RD uses his Zoid's boosters and collides with the Fury before it can put up it's shield. The two grapple with each other until the PKB's Arosaurer and Gorhecks, piloted by Deed and Ciao, arrive, although Blake promptly destroys both of them in a single shot. It is then that the Buster Eagle arrives and combines with the Berserk Fury, to form the Buster Fury. Blake begins shelling RD with dozens of shots, although he still fails to land a single hit. RD attempts to fight the Fuzor, but his charge simply bounces off the more powerful, combined, Zoid. This finally gives Blake the opportunity to shoot RD, allowing him to damage and immobilise the Liger Zero. To finish the job, Blake begins charging his Charged Particle Cannon but is interrupted by the arrival of the Fire Phoenix. Although Blake has no data on the Fire Phoenix, RD finds that the Zoid is actually a Fuzor partner for his Liger Zero. By simply flying past the Buster Fury, the Fire Phoenix causes immense damage to the Buster Eagle, shorting out it's systems and incapacitating all of the Zoid's functions- apart from flight. Thus, it is forced to retreat, despite being a supposedly powerful Fuzor. |

| Synopsis: |
| The episode begins with RD sparring with the Fire Phoenix, although he is defeated by the bird each and every time, badly damaging the Liger Zero. Savage Hammer is also effected, as the Buster Eagle and the Berserk Fury suffered very heavy damage from their encounter with the Phoenix in the previous episode. Even though RD retries his attempt to defeat the Fire Phoenix, he fails once again. He doesn't give up, however Savage Hammer invites Mach Storm to partake in a training battle, forcing RD to quit without having successfully fused with the Phoenix. While he and Sweet are travelling back to their headquarters, a trap is set for Fire Phoenix. A captured Nightwise is placed in a cage with a camouflaged anti-air gun pointed at it. When the Phoenix attempts to free the captured Zoid, it is set upon and damaged by the hidden battery. This causes the Liger Zero to activate and leap out of the trailer it was being transported in. Sweet goes on ahead in her Gustav, while RD returns to help the Phoenix, which is now being set upon by a Storm Sworder, Gunsniper (the same variant that Leena used in New Century) and a Dark Horn. Although the Phoenix attempts to fight back, it is unable to defeat the trio of non-fuzor Zoids and is apparently doomed. However, RD arrives before the finishing blow can be struck and despite being grossly outnumbered and outgunned, he promptly defeats all three of the enemy Zoids off screen. In the meantime, the battle with Savage hammer starts. Sigma is the first to be take a hit, unable to break the Fury's energy shield, he is bowled over by Blake's cannons. Helmut is also badly damaged, as his Command Wolf is tackled by the much faster Fury. Sigma, not totally defeated, takes a last-ditch gamble and attempts to take out the Fury by shooting it in the back, though Luke sees it coming and once again blocks it with the Fury's energy shield. Before the battle is finished off in earnest, RD shows up, along with the Fire Phoenix, who dives over the Fury and proceeds to combine with the Liger Zero, forming the Liger Zero Phoenix. With this new Zoid, he uses the “Diving Laser Claw” attack to strike the Buster Fury, which retaliates by firing its Buster Cannons. The two attacks collide in midair and RD easily wins out, travelling through to strike the Fury head-on. The force of the impact snaps one Buster Cannon, but does not do anywhere near the damage of the previous episode, and Blake is able to continue the battle. However, before any further combat can take place, the on-board computer alerts Blake to the fact the time limit on his fusion is running out, forcing him to retreat. |

| 098 | 05. “The Kid Called Matt” | November 01, 2003 |
| Synopsis: |
| The episode begins with RD featuring on a TV program, which lists him as the number one pilot on that week's hotlist, although the obvious swooning of the host toward RD makes the show slightly uncomfortable for Mach Storm to watch (especially Sweet). The focus abruptly shifts to Burton “accidentally” destroying a block of apartments with his Lord Gale, rather than an old refinery, much to the horror of the onlooking residents. Again, the focus shifts, this time to a battle between Mach Storm and a group of Zaber Fangs. Although Mach Storm wins the battle, RD is taken out when he attempts to combine with the Fire Phoenix (which never shows up). This screw-up, along with RD's arrogance, forces Helmut to remove RD's Zoid pilot license, something that enrages him, causing him to storm out. In the meantime, it is revealed that Burton's actions were to scare the residents out of a zone that is desired for redevelopment, although his strongarm tactics had not completely succeeded, and more action was required. Returning to RD, who, being broke, ends up going to the home of Matt, a fan of his, in exchange for some food. As the two bond, RD decides to give Matt a ride in of of Mach Storm's Zoids, namely the Leoblaze. This backfires, when Matt steals the Leoblaze in order to save his home, which was scheduled for demolition under Savage Hammer's development plans. Eventually, RD is allowed back into his Liger Zero, and he sets out to rescue Matt (who has been vastly outclassed by Burton). However, before he can engage Burton, Blake intervenes and knocks down the Liger. Blake fuses his Zoid, with RD following suit soon after. RD launches a Diving Laser Claw and although the Buster Fury blocks with its shield and remains undamaged, Burton's Lord Gale is totalled by the shockwave. With the arrival of the PKB and Mach Storm, Blake retreats, picking up Burton as he goes. |

| 099 | 06. “Ambush in the Wasteland” | November 08, 2003 |
| Synopsis: |
| The episode begins with Matt helping around at Mach Storm's headquarters. As he answers the door, he meets Haldo, an old friend of Helmut, who requests an escort to Keel Town/City (the name is inconsistently translated), a dangerous job as it requires Haldo (and his Gustav) to travel through the wastelands, a stretch of desert that is a notorious hideout for pirates. The team accepts and heads out, but is quickly set upon by three Guysaks. RD heads off to combat the Guysaks, but they retreat underground before any combat breaks out. After a brief stop at a bar, bandits called the “Dark Forces” learn of their convoy and head out to intercept the Gustav. Over 50 Guysaks approach the convoy, forcing RD and Sigma into battle. Sigma takes out a few with his Bolguard's long-range cannons, while RD tears a few apart with his Liger Zero's teeth and claws. However, the battle does not go well when the leader of the bandits shows up in a Brachiozilla, along with his partner, Angelie piloting a Missile Tortoise. The two fuse their Zoids into the Brachiotortoise, which causes Sigma to hastily retreat, leaving the Gustav defenceless. Before any damage can be done, the Fire Phoenix shows up and destroys all the Guysaks, of which there are at least eighty, by simply flying past them. Despite this, it is unable to fusion with the Liger Zero as it is pinned down by fire from the Brachitortoise. It is then that Sigma returns, attempting to take out the Brachiotortoise at point-blank with his cannons, only to realize that he was in fact out of ammunition. He does manage to do some damage though, using the Boldguard's “Crazy Spike” attack to knock the Brachiotortoise over, allowing RD to fuse with the Phoenix. Needing to quickly defeat the now-combined Fuzor, the Brachiotortoise fires its primary weapon, a colossal cluster-missile, which pours vast numbers of explosives square into the chest of RD's undefended Zoid. This does no damage to the Liger, who promptly defeats the Brachiotortoise with its Laser Claws. Briefly, as the episode ends, Haldo mentions that he knew RD's father because they were both searching for the “legendary Alpha Zoid”, but offers no further information on the subject. |

| 100 | 07. “The Unseen Enemy” | November 15, 2003 |
| Synopsis: |
| This episode begins with an interview with Dr. Pierce, who asserts that fighting without Fuzors would be unthinkable. A shadowy figure grins and remarks that even Fuzors are not invincible. The episode begins in earnest with a training exercise from the Dark Assassin's Killer Spiner Zoid, previously featured in Episode one and two, wherein they destroy several Guysaks as practice, needing only 27 seconds to fell the enemies. However, a proximity alert sounds, and the two are set upon by an invisible Zoid. They fire a continuous and omnidirectional attack but fail to defeat the enemy, who proceeds to total their Zoid. Gummie is hounded by the media, who are in a frenzy about the invisible Zoid, although in reality, the PKB have no intel on the subject themselves, and are thus forced to call off all Zoid battles as a precaution. Sigma is sent to help Haldo on a mission, while RD and Dan go the Dr. Pierce's lab to help in his investigation of the invisible Zoid. Their investigation brings them to an area where the stealth Zoid had attack and defeated two Blade Ligers. Meanwhile, Sigma's “important mission” turns out to be helping Haldo reorganise his warehouse. Dr Pierce finds out by matching the strength and speed of invisible Zoid's attacks, that the invisible Zoid must be a customised Zaber Fang, though the meeting is interrupted by another attack. Sigma is the victim and his Boldguard is totalled, taking irreversible damage right down to the core. After this incident, the pilot offers an open challenge to the PKB and all Zi fighters, who, after coming up with an intricate system of using different wavelengths of light to reveal the Zaber Fang, accept. Thus, the Liger Zero, Arosaurer and Gorhecks enter the arena, awaiting the invisible Zoid's attack. Initially, the lights prove useful, but before any attacks can land, it vanishes once again. Deed and Ciao are swiftly defeated, with RD close behind, as even he cannot land a blow on the Zoid. Thus, the invisible Zaber Fang goes undefeated. |

| Synopsis: |
| RD reflects on his defeat to the Zaber Fang holotech custom the previous episode. Amy is shown in flashback to have known the pilot, Keith, who had been her team mate some time ago. RD and Dan attempt to find more info on the pilot of the Zaber Fang, but mistakes a dart champion for the Zoid pilot and thus loses a bet, sending him broke. Soon enough, the real pilot enters, although initially reluctant to talk to him, RD and Dan follow Amy (who had met up with the pilot) and find out that he is indeed the pilot of the stealth Zoid. She schedules a match with him, but declines any help from RD or Dr. Pierce. In the meantime, Sigma is given a Leostriker by Haldo, who loads it with a “secret weapon” to help him extract revenge against the stealth Zoid. The Zaber Fang and Amy's König Wolf start to fight, with the latter being quickly defeated as her plan to blind Keith by stoking his ego fails, as his Zaber vanishes out of the way of her surprise attack. It is explained that Keith's Zaber Fang can actually project images, as well as obscure them, and was thus able to evade Amy's last-ditch attack. Before the final blow can be struck, RD and Sigma intervene, the latter using a special shell to spray radar-sensitive paint over the Zaber Fang, thus revealing it. Unable to hide, Keith is quickly defeated by Sigma's new Leostriker. |

| Synopsis: |
| The episode begins with a chase between RD's Liger Zero and the PKB's Arosaurer and Sinker, piloted by Ciao and Deed respectively, although RD was not piloting, as RD was in fact in the Mach Storm's Leoblaze, and Matt was piloting the Liger. The quick action of a passer-by, a man named, Jean, who had travelled in with a circus, averted a disaster. He gives tickets to visit this circus to RD, Matt, Sweet and Ciao, who naturally accept. He gives Ciao a rose during his act, and she becomes smitten with him. The PKB later alerts Mach Storm to a passing group of Zoid bandits, who had been stealing Zoids and reselling them on the black market. The bandits attack later that night, only to find RD sleeping in the cockpit. He fights them off, unmasking one of them, revealing the culprit, Jean, who RD promptly punches in the face, cutting his cheek. RD alerts the PKB to this fact and Ciao investigates him, finding out that he was indeed the culprit. The next night, the bandits attempt to steal the Liger Zero again, this time using gas, but are again thwarted by RD, who had been sleeping in the cockpit, this time, conveniently, with a gas mask on. The PKB had also been lying in wait and move to surround the group, although they manage to escape nonetheless by utilising an Arosaurer, Gorhecks and Iron Kong. The escape is short lived, however, as the PKB take chase and defeat the felons, arresting them after a short battle, in which Ciao played a lead role, despite her short-lived attraction to Jean. |

| Synopsis: |
| The episode begins with Marvis' escape from Brown City's jail, cutting short his detention to only a three-year term. After a practice battle between RD and Helmut. After their battle, Gummie appears in Mach Storm's HQ, in effort to look for Helmut, but he went out on the cemetery to visit the grave of his friend, Graheme, Sandra's father, only a matter of seconds Marvis appears and their confrontation began. Gummie explains the situation; three years ago, after Sigma joined Mach Storm, and after two years Sweet and RD joined the group. Marvis once used a Zoid for homicidal matters, where he shot down a PKB Zoid, an Arosaurer, especially its pilot. Since Gummie heard it he felt he never seen that disturbing in his entire life. The PKB went on a biggest manhunt on their history, even though Marvis was sly enough to escape the PKB, but he was wrong. Marvis used a stolen Shadow Fox, which is stealth and undetectable but Helmut's Command Wolf, and the two fought. With the Helmut being the victor, Marvis was sent to prison. Since Marvis finally escaped from jail, he had waited for two years to have his revenge against Helmut. Marvis issues a challenge to Mach Storm to fight him in an extreme battle, that is, one with no rules. Obviously a trap, the team tries to figure out Marvis' motive, with Sigma reflecting on his past, recalling how Marvis was like a father figure to him back when he first joined Mach Storm. The team nonetheless accept and meet up with Marvis, who promptly gets a hoard of Gunsnipers to fire waves of missiles at Mach Storm (although the missiles never actually arrive, presumably an animation oversight). RD fuses his Zoid into the Liger Zero Phoenix and proceeds to take out several Gunsnipers while Helmut attacks Marvis' Shadowfox, catching him by surprise with his Strike Laser Claws, a technology Marvis was not familiar with due to his lengthy incarceration. Following the defeat of the Gunsnipers, Marvis lets out a wave of Zabats to pin down RD while he, some more Gunsnipers (of which he has many dozen) and a few Molgas attack Sigma and Helmut. After immense shelling, the Leostriker and Command Wolf fuse into the Command Striker, which continues to get fired at by the various Zoid's guns. It shoots down all the incoming missiles (although none of the enemy Zoids shot any missiles, presumably another animation oversight) and runs toward Marvis, evading the rest of the shots. Marvis attempts to use his Zoid's energy shield to block, but it is cut in two by the Command Striker's Zan Breaker attack, crippling the Shadowfox. The Striker itself also collapses, having suffered too much damage prior to fusion. Seeing a chance to escape, Marvis gets out of his Zoid's cockpit and attempts to flee. RD moves to stop him, after having destroyed around three dozen of the other Zoids off-screen, but is stopped when a Pteras (sporting gatlings), arrives and drops an incandescent flare bomb, allowing Marvis (who had put on sunglasses) to escape. |

| Synopsis: |
| The episode begins with a meeting between executives, worried about a Zi fighter who had backed out of a Zoid battle royal. The T.V. presenter, Tracy, asks RD to fill in, although Hop dislikes the idea. The other four contestants are “Rotten” Roger, piloting a Genosaurer, Gilbert “the Impaler”, piloting a Redhorn, Sarah “Slam (Strom)”, piloting a Raynos and Rastani, piloting his Blade Liger. Hop quickly changes his tune when he is made an offer by the male journalist (Thomson), though Sweet remains against it. In the meantime, Rastani colludes with the other four contestants to take out RD first. The pre-battle begins with RD fusing the Liger Zero and Fire Phoenix, while the other combatants stand, awaiting for the battle to begin. When the siren blares, all four Zoids converging on the centre of the arena. Sarah quickly dives upon RD and ties him up with an electric net, allowing Rastani to clip the Phoenix's wings with his own Liger's blades. Immediately after that, Gilbert attacks RD with his Redhorn's Crusher Horn, although RD evades. His dodge isn't entirely successful as he lands next to Roger, who slams RD with his Genosaurer's tail, allowing Rastani to pounce on the Liger's already damaged wing. The battle continues with Gilbet shooting RD several times, forcing him to set up his energy shield, although he remains pinned by enemy fire. Remarking about how he is unable to counter with his Laser Claws (although they have been shown to work at a range several times, and he does have other weapons), RD believes it is best to ignore his damaged wing and take to the skies. Before he can do this, however, he is caught by a tether launched from the Raynos and dragged across the field, putting him back where he started. Once again he is shelled and his shield finally gives way. To top it off, his time limit reaches a critical threshold, dropping to below one minute. The four continue to shoot at him, with Gilbet's Redhorn attacking from close range to once again impale the liger on its horn. Badly damaged and up against the wall, RD decides not to give up. In a break from their predetermined plan (which was to wait until the Liger ran out of power), Roger approaches RD and attacks with his Genosaurer's Hyper Killer Claws, at the same time as Gilbert charges with his Redhorn. RD jumps and the two Zoids collide, with Roger taking out Gilbert's Redhorn. Despite having one wing virtually torn off, RD is apparently unimpeded in the air and he proceeds to vastly outmanoeuvre the Raynos, taking it out with his Laser Claws. Upon RD's decent, Roger locks onto him with his Genosaurer's most powerful weapon, the Charged Particle Cannon. RD charges headlong into the particle beam with his shield on (despite the fact that this was disabled earlier in the battle), but is only slowed down momentarily, as RD's Zoid powers up and wades through the attack without taking any damage whatsoever, allowing him to casually defeat Roger. Rastani is then left to fight alone, but proves unable to defend himself even though his Blade Liger had suffered very little damage throughout the battle, and is quickly defeated. The episode ends with RD, Sweet, Tracy, Hop and Matt enjoying a dinner, at the TV Company’s expense, although RD personally buys a cake to celebrate Sweet's birthday. |

| Synopsis: |
| This episode begins with a group of people (Watts, Miguel, and Vulcan) enquiring to Dr. Pierce about the possibility of three or more Zoids combining, something which he had no information about, although he admits it may be possible. While Matt trains with RD, Watts and his threesome arrive in Savage Hammer's hanger, piloting a Unenlagia, Nightwise and Mosasledge respectively. Matt, encouraged by RD's words of praise attempts to take the Zi Fighter test, although the others in Mach Storm realise the danger in letting someone so young take the test and leave it up to RD to get Matt to not take the test. Unable to break the bad news, RD instead says that only if Matt is able to beat him in a duel will he be allowed to take the test. In the meantime, Watts agrees to Savage Hammer to forcibly acquire the Liger Zero Phoenix, believing that their “secret weapon” will lead them to victory. Disheartened by the prospect of facing off against RD, Matt searches for a Zi Fighter to train him even approaching Blake at one stage (not knowing who he is). Overhearing his desire to find a teacher, Matt is recruited by Watt's team, who give him access to a simulator for training. Tricked into getting a data disk (under the guise of programming the simulator), Watt's team are able to match Mach Storm's Leoblaze to their specifications, making it the target of their plans. Matt and RD engage in a staged battle. RD evades Matt's initial charge but is attacked by a Nightwise before the battle can continue. The Nightwise, Leoblaze, Unelagia and Mosasledge Fusion into the Matrix Dragon, with Matt's Zoid being taken into the new Zoid's body, although he ejects before the battle truly begins. RD also fuses, but is overwhelmed by the Matrix Dragon's power and speed, and is soundly defeated. The Matrix Dragon leaves, believing it totalled the Liger Zero Phoenix, which is left for dead on the rocky ground. |

| Synopsis: |
| Picking up where the last episode left off, with Amy demanding compensation from Savage Hammer, for the damages incurred in the previous battle, although her attempts to persuade them fail completely. RD challenges them to a battle, and is given one week to fix his Liger Zero. Blake and Watts' threesome agree to split teams, making the battle a three-way fight. The battle is decided to be between the Matrix Dragon, Buster Fury, Lord Gale, Liger Zero Phoenix, Command Striker and König Wolf. To practise for the battle, RD uses a Raynos while his Liger is repaired, while the others partake in training drills. At the battles' outset, RD dives the Matrix Dragon and Buster Fury at high speed, while Sigma attempts, and fails, to hit the stationary opponent. In the meantime, Amy attacks Burton while RD circles back around to attack Blake, only to have his Diving Laser Claw blocked by the Fury's shield. Blake retaliates by shooting at RD with his Buster Cannons and manages to scores a hit, while the Matrix Dragon pounces on the Command Striker. Amy attempts to blast off the Matrix Dragon, but her shots simply do no damage, allowing Burton to hit her while she's distracted. Blake tries to finish off RD, but is interrupted by the Matrix Dragon, who blasts away at everyone, taking out all three of the land-based Zoids. The three remaining airborne Zoids skirmish, and the Matrix Dragon grabs ahold of, and starts cutting away at, the Buster Fury. RD intervenes and the battle continues, the three Zoids piling up in midair. The force of the impact knocks off Blake's last remaining cannon. However, as the three Zoids mangle together, it is the Matrix Dragon who emerges victorious, sending the Liger and Fury plummeting to the ground. Blake gets to his feet and charges the Dragon. It is at that moment that a beam of energy rockets from off-screen and ploughs straight through both Zoids, narrowly missing RD on the way. The attack from the mysterious Liger-type destroys both the Matrix Dragon and Buster Fury in a single hit, concluding the episode. |

He eventually finds the Energy Liger, but it runs when Blake attacks it. Although he continues to follow it on his bike, Blake is unable to even scratch the Zoid, and is retrieved by Luke. Luke takes him into a hanger, where he reveals the Gairyuki, a brand new and very powerful Zoid. RD manages to take out several Unenlagias, but is unable to keep pace with the Energy Liger. It is then that Blake once again meets up with RD and decides to test out his new Zoid, throwing RD around in a display of speed. RD fusions with the Fire Phoenix, but to no avail, as Blake overpowers RD with his new Zoid, utilising it's Fuzor-like components to catch RD off guard and severely damage his Zoid.

| Synopsis: |
| Despite pretending everything's ok after losing the Fire Phoenix in the previous episode, RD actually feels greatly upset about the loss of his Fuzor Partner. Meanwhile, at Savage Hammer, Sandra talks to Blake about his Gairyuki, explaining what the two fuzor components, Hien and Gekkou, are. The former is an aerial-assault fuzor drone, while the latter is a submarine-type, although it has hovering capabilities. At Mach Storm, a kid called Doug arrives and requests help for a problem. This problem is a pair of “Droids” (unmanned Zoids), the Dispelow and Evo Flyer, which have been terrorising his hometown. He himself pilots a Helcat, but is not a skilled pilot and was unable to defeat the two Zoids. Mach Storm agree and set out with their Leo Striker, Command Wolf, Liger Zero, König Wolf, a Gustav and Doug's Helcat. They set up a radar tracking system, but are unable to catch up with the two Zoids, due to their incredible speed. They eventually head toward Amy, who is the first to make contact. She bombs the Dispelow with her wolf's missiles and attacks the Evo Flyer with her Laser Claws. While she does damage them, they transform into different modes and catch her off-guard, badly damaging her Zoid. Sigma arrives to help and attacks the Dispelow, but is thrown away effortlessly, due to a rapid transformation. Both of them proceed to get attacked, but Helmut manages to arrive and offer some aid, fusioning into his Command Striker, allowing him to badly damage the Evo Flyer and Dispelow. The two unmanned Zoids run, heading toward RD's location. RD is unable to put up a fight and the two effortlessly plough straight through him, destroying Doug's Helcat on the way. Thus, with Mach Storm's failure, the episode ends. |

She also appears to be able to communicate with RD's Liger Zero. As this is going on, Burton flies overhead in his Lord Gale, tasked with retrieving Blake, who is in the forest as well, training his Gairyuki by fighting and destroying Rev Raptors. As nightfalls, RD dreams about his loss to Blake, and the death of his Fire Phoenix. When he awakes, Venus explains that the Liger Zero shares his sadness and is concerned for RD's wellbeing. RD drifts back to sleep, waking up in the morning, to find Venus communicating with the Zero, but tells RD that their conversation is a “secret”, before grabbing him by the arm and telling him to go to the top of a nearby mountain. Dan and Matt enter a ravine, thinking they'd found path up the mountain, but were instead lead into a dead-end. At this dead-end, they find a ruin of an ancient Zoid, which transmits a frequency from its core that is the same as the Phoenix. However, before they can do anything, Burton arrives and attempts to destroy it. Meanwhile, RD stumbles across Blake's Gairyuki in the forest. Burton, who somehow manages to miss the fossilised Zoid with his lance, is set upon by a pack of wild Rev Raptors. RD runs from Blake while Burton takes out the small Zoids, but before he moves to attack Dan and Matt, he sees RD (followed by Blake) run by on the ridge overhead. Blake catches up to RD and knocks him down as Burton arrives, moving to finish off RD. He is stopped by Matt and Dan, who attack him with their Heldigunner, though it is quickly defeated. RD decides to fight for their sake and attacks the Lord Gale, lopping off an arm. Blake resumes his attack and RD falls back. Cornered, RD and Blake face off while the fossilised Zoid attempts to awaken, although it fails to move. Matt moves up to a console under the Zoid and smashes it with a rock, causing the fossilised Jet Falcon to revive. It interrupts the battle between RD and Blake and fuses with the Liger Zero, forming the Liger Zero Falcon. Blake fires his Particle Cannon at RD, who fires his Zoid's lasers, overpowering the Gairuyki and defeating Blake, who swears his revenge. RD drops Venus off in a city and she departs, dropping her hairclip, a Phoenix feather, as she goes (which is Venus was Fire Phoenix's reincarnation). |

| This episode primarily features the characters, Vareth, Dart and Sabre, who are hired to take out Blake and RD. After they send a battle challenge to Blake, they lose their map and being simple folk from a technologyless region, they are bamboozled by the city and cause major disturbances to the town, for instance, by standing in the middle of the road. While they easily fight off a bunch of police officers, they are eventually captured by Gummie in his Gojulas Giga, and taken into custody by a Sinker. Blake accepts, although RD is not informed until Gummie calls him into the PKB headquarters. Eventually, they pass on the challenge to RD, but they blunder the times and are forced to face both Blake and RD at the same time. Sabre, in her Gravity Saurer, attacks Blake, with the other two take on RD, using a Gravity Wolf and Gravity Saix. The immense speed of the Gravity wheel system catches RD off guard, but before he can be defeated, the Energy Liger shows up and attacks the duo, though does not defeat them outright. It leaves, and RD combines, taking to the air and allowing Vareth and Dart to slam into each other. Still not defeated, RD pounces on the Gravity Zoids, beating them.

| Synopsis: |
| This episode begins with Blake recalling his earlier defeats to the Energy Liger and Liger Zero Falcon. Meanwhile, Mach Storm is hired to take out a group of Iron Kongs, who have been attacking holiday cottages in the Benias Highlands. However, what captures Blake and Mach Storm's interest is the fact that the Energy Liger can be seen in the background of the mission's video footage. When Mach Storm arrive to investigate the incident, they find that the Iron Kongs have been wiped out by something with a high-output laser or charged particle cannon, something that would never be found on ordinary Zoids. Seeking some information they go to a secluded house on the mountainside, where Alpha Richter and his associate, Rebecca, greet the party. Meanwhile, Blake finds and attacks the Energy Liger, forcing Mach Storm to leave. After their departure, Alpha discusses his plan, which was to analyse the Energy Liger by pitting it against Iron Kongs with Rebecca, and conclude that someone in their organisation is leaking information, though it hadn't hindered their plans. The Energy Liger attacks Blake with its beam weaponry, but the Gairyuki uses its Ray Energy Accumulator to absorb the shots without taking damage. He retaliates with Gekkou and Hien, but is physically overpowered. Before he can resume his attack, the Evo Flyer and Dispelow arrive and pin Blake while the Liger escapes, enraging Blake. The Energy Liger runs into Mach Storm while Blake uses his Particle Cannon in an attempt to take out his two opponents. He fails and the battle continues, with Blake eventually emerging as the winner. However, just as he wins, the herd of Iron Kongs arrive and attack him. Back at Mach Strom, the Energy Liger escapes and RD concludes that it must be the legendary “Alpha Zoid”. Blake, noticing that the Evo Flyer and Dispelow are fuzors to his Gairyuki, combines with the latter, forming the Gairuyki Destroy (pronounced “Death Troy” in the anime). Even without his energy shield, the Iron Kongs cannot harm Blake, who proceeds to annihilate them all with the Dispelow's assault battery. The Gorilla Tron watches from the shadows and relays the data to Alpha Richter, who is pleased with the outcome. Just before the episode ends, he mentions two significant plot details the near-completion of the as yet unseen Seismosaurus and the fact that Luke is his son. |

It is also revealed that due to new development projects, the Zoid Battle Dome in under pressure to be shut down. Seeking some information, RD, Sweet, Matt and Helmut meet up with Haldo and a new character, Rebecca. They also invited Blake, although he fails to show up. He is back in his hanger, recalling his first battle, which was against RD. He piloted a Genosaurer (his is purple in colour, but it is inconsistently shown to be yellow as well, presumably an animation oversight), he is defeated when his Charged Particle Cannon malfunctions, something which he blames RD for. His thoughts are interrupted by Luke, who was attempting to steal Blake's control gauntlet. He drops the glove, but manages to escape nonetheless, thanks to the arrival of his Leogator. He gives chase, but unbeknown to him, so do Sabre and Vareth. They attack Luke, but fail to apprehend him as Blake fights off the Gravity Zoids. Back at Mach Storm's headquarters, Dart cuts his way inside and requests RD's trust, saying he can lead him to the phantom Zoid's pilot. The Gravity Saurer and Wolf pin down Blake and confound him with their gravity stream attack. He is saved by the appearance of the Dispelow and Evo Flyer, the latter of which he combines with. Upon fusion, his Zoid gains a 3D radar, which enables him to track down and outrun the Gravity Zoids, swiftly defeating them. The whole time, Rebecca observes the battle in her Dimetroptera. But the fight is not over, and Luke's Zoid transforms, causing everyone to mistake Luke's Zoid for a brand new Zoid. Sabre and Vareth leave to evacuate civilians as Luke and Blake's battle moves into the city. Rebecca attempts to intervene, but RD shows up and wards her off, with Dart arriving close behind. Blake tells RD that Luke is the pilot, but Luke, under a kind of mind control, is unable to control his Zoid. RD instead attacks Rebecca and knocks her to the ground. Blake follows through with his particle cannon but completely misses, instead just enshrouding Rebecca in smoke, allowing her to perform a sneak attack and escape with Luke. Blake leaves to track down Luke's brainwasher, the “Richter Scale” group, which is the same group that Vareth's crew was looking for. Being shown to be unable to defend the citizens’ rally against the PKB and blame Gummie for the recent events. |

| Synopsis: |
| The episode begins with Gummie in his Gojulas Giga cordoning off an area near the Zoid Battle Dome, where a live ammunition exhibition occurs. This event features the PKB's new Zoids, the Scissor and Laser Storm going up against several Darkhorns and Missile Tortoises. After the latter attack the former, but fail to do any damage, the Laser and Scissor Storm obliterate the other Zoids (incidentally, the announcer incorrectly refers to the “PKB” as “PBK” during this battle). It is also revealed that these two Zoids are Chimera Drones, featuring the same system previously used by the rogue Chimera Dragon Zoid, though Gummie and Dr. Pierce both reassure RD that it is a safe system. However, on the way back to base, a Zoid does go rouge, Gummie's Gojulas. The PKB's Gorhecks is unable to stop it as it moves downtown. Mach Storm deploys its Liger Zero, while the PKB scramble some Raynos, but otherwise keep their distance. Gummie, trapped inside the Cockpit, tries to halt the Giga, but only manages to stop it shooting at buildings, and fails to stop its destructive charge. RD arrives but even his Liger Zero Falcon is overwhelmed by the sheer strength of Gummie's colossal Zoid. Sigma arrives to help, but is defeated. Dan figures out that Gummie's sabotaged Giga Zoid is heading to the city's generator. Blake shows up and decides to help, believing that a Zoid never betrays it pilot, so forms the Gairyuki Speed and grabs the Gojulas' tail, trying to topple it from behind. Blake too is thrown off by the Gojulas' immense power and the PKB resort to deploying the Laser and Scissor Storm in front of the generator, to destroy the Giga if it cannot be stopped. As the Giga approaches the final tunnel, RD and Blake collide with the Giga and attempt to stop it, but fail. In a last-ditch wrench of the controls, Gummie manages to stop the Giga, and the Liger and Gairyuki protect it from the oncoming fire of the Chimera drones. As the episode ends, Helmut is accused of sabotaging the Giga, and is taken into custody. Meanwhile, Alpha gloats to himself about the near-completion of the Chimera Blox's mass-production. |

| Synopsis: |
| The episode begins with a news report, wherein Helmut (whose surname is revealed to be “Titan”) is asserted to be involved in the previous episode's rouge Zoid incident. RD attempts to talk to the PKB, but is denied entry and eventually kicked off the grounds. Other options to get inside the Bureau fail, as Gummie takes responsibility for his Zoid's rampage and is demoted to a traffic officer, while Ciao and Deed are assigned desk jobs and are questioned over any involvement with the incident. While Mach Strom deliberate, they see the PKB's Gorhecks and Arosaurer Zoids being transported en mass. Hop explains that these Zoid are scheduled to be replaced (confusingly, he states that their replacements ARE Arosaurers and Gorhecks, which doesn't make any sense, so presumably this is a translation error). Meanwhile, Marvis returns and meets with Helmut, as he is the new PKB chief, and formally charges him with the sabotage of Gummie's Zoid, claiming that the “evidence” is overwhelming. Furthermore, the new Mayor, revealed to be Alpha Richter, who, citing the attacks against PKB officers, increases spending on PKB Zoids, hence the change in Zoids. Meanwhile, Mach Storm is disbanded by the PKB, who arrest and begin to question all of the team members other than RD and Sweet, who weren't at their headquarters at the time. This is not limited to just Mach Storm, other Zi fighters, such as Rastani and the Dark Assassins are also detained and their Zoids destroyed by the new PKB Chimera drones. At Savage Hammer, Dr. Pierce is revealed to have been behind the rampaging Gojulas, and causes Sandra to distrust him, though he reassures her that his only goal is the destruction of Mach Storm. Back at the Zoid Battle Dome, after having destroyed many Zoids, the Chimera drones encircle the Killer Spiner, but RD arrives to save it. However, he is set upon by the Chimera drones and pinned down. It is then that Gummie arrives in his Gojulas Giga and proceeds to wipe out all of unmanned drones. His victory is short lived, as Alpha reveals his ultimate weapon, the colossal Seismosaurus. It cripples the Giga in a single shot, forcing RD to flee. His escape is cut short by a wall of Chimera drone, but before they can attack him, the Energy Liger shows up and cannonfodders them, saving RD. Later, Alpha Richter reveals that Sandra is his half-sister, his father marrying her mother, which gave her the funding required to set up Savage Hammer. In fact, he had been using her the whole time, utilising her team as a front so that his true intentions would remain obscure. He had even been Burton's true commander, allowing him to pull of his plans from right under her nose. This causes Sandra's plans to abruptly come to a halt, as her business partners all leave, as do all her Savage Hammer team members, apart from Blake. Alone, Sandra tells him the truth, that it was not RD who totalled his Genosaurer, but in fact her, as she was using RD as a front to manipulate Blake to do her bidding. Blake sets out to do “something” and the episode ends. RD and Sweet hide out at Haldo's hanger |

| This episode begins with a flashback of RD's father, and his desire to meet the legendary Alpha Zoid. Dr. Pierce sends a message to Blake, claiming that he can lead him to Luke. Simultaneously, RD monitors the city with the help of Vareth, Dart and Sabre. The four of them stage a jailbreak and rescue the Zi fighters. They escape into the Zoid Battle Dome, but are swarmed by dozens of Chimera drones. These don't last long, as the Energy Liger obliterates all of them and Mach Strom escape, though RD splits from the team to seek out the Energy Liger. Meanwhile, Sandra is met by Haldo, who, as it turns out, is an old acquaintance of hers. RD catches up to the Energy Liger, believing it to be the legendary Alpha Zoid, however, these illusions are quickly dispelled as Dr Pierce is revealed to be the pilot. He combines the Gorilla Tron with the Energy Liger to form the Energy Ray Liger. The Professor attacks RD, claiming to have always hated him. He proceeds to explain that Alpha and he had been researching the ultimate Zoid. While Peirce believed in the Liger Zero, the others believed in the Berserk Fury. To prove them wrong, Dr. Pierce poured his research into the Energy Liger, as opposed to the simultaneously-developed Gairyuki. Alpha scorned his Energy Liger and refused to accept the Zoid, leading to Dr. Pierce's eventual betrayal (he also scorned the Gairyuki in the end as well, choosing the Seismosaurus and Chimera drones over both Zoids). Thus, Pierce reveals that he had been using RD to simply collect data for his Zoid, and was simply focused on perfecting the Energy Liger. He attempts to destroy RD as the Energy Liger's “first victim” (despite destroying countless Zoids only moments ago) but is stopped when Blake arrives and attacks him. With RD in shock over Pierce's revaluations and thus out of the battle, the Energy Liger instead attacks Blake, who retaliates by slamming headlong into the Liger, destroying his Evo Flyer in the process. He fails to defeat the Energy Liger, but RD reactivates his own Liger and confronts Dr Pierce. His Zoid powers up and charges the Energy Liger head-on, overpowering and defeats the Energy Liger. |

| Synopsis: |
| The episode begins with Alpha Richter rewatching the duel between the Liger Zero Falcon and Energy Liger “Zero” (apparently known as such due to it being based off the Liger Zero's data) and decides that he needs to complete his plans. He sends Marvis to round up any dissenting citizens, such as protesters, and Burton to hunt down opposition outside of town. Tracy (the news presenter) is also suppressed, and the PKB send in Chimera drones to forcibly lock down the city. Meanwhile, Mach Storm, Vareth's team and Gummie are approached by Sandra, who tells them to come with her. Everyone but Gummie agrees, and Sandra leads them to a warehouse near Emerald Harbour wherein all the remaining Zi-Fighters have assembled to fight back against Alpha Richter. Alpha learns of their location and sends out his main force to crush them. Sandra talks to Helmut about her past, wanting to know the facts about her father's “disappearance” in a Zoid battle long ago. She reveals that it was Marvis who had told her that Helmut was after Mach Storm and was thus responsible for the incident. However, before they can finish, Burton attacks the warehouse with his Lord Gale and squad of Chimera drones. Some of the resistance's Zoids are sabotaged, however and are unable to assist. Rebecca transforms her Dimetroptera into flight mode, the same mode as was previously used when she controlled Luke. As she was among the Zi-Fighters, she is able to shoot them in the back and take out even more of their forces. Burton stumbles across Sandra and explains that Marvis was the real culprit, he was the one who wanted to take over Mach Storm and he was the one who killed her father. RD attempts to take out Burton, but Rebecca shoots him in the back. RD is shelled heavily, but Blake shows up and manages to rip the head off Rebecca's Zoid, while RD finishes off Burton's Lord Gale. Rebecca, who is revealed to be the same Rebecca as Alpha's assistant (she was wearing a wig), is apprehended and RD and Blake move to take out the Chimera drones. However, as they do this, they come under fire from the Seismosaurus and two enormous Chimera drones. Meanwhile, Gummie shows up at the PKB HQ and sets his subordinates free. The Seismosaurus combines with the two large Chimera units, forming the Ultimate Seismos, which proceeds to lay waste to the entire area, with RD and Blake being swatted away like flies in the face of the Seismosaurus' overwhelming array of weaponry. |

| 119 | 26. “Blue Skies Over Planet Zi” | April 3, 2004 |
| Synopsis: |
| The cliffhanger from episode 25 resumes with Alpha Richter's Seismosaurus still towering over Blue City. The Chimera Blox advance at his command, attacking RD and Blake. Mach Storm shows up in the nick of time, though, distracting Alpha. Elsewhere in the city, the citizens are rebelling, holding signs and demanding Alpha's “got to go!” Marvis (piloting a Steelarmor) and the Alpha-controlled segments of the PKB advance on them, but before he can open fire into the crowd, Gummie appears with the original PKB crowd and their Zoids, taking out his Chimera Blox and leaving Marvis heavily outnumbered. He flees, disappearing into the city streets. Back at the Seismosaurus, all the minor characters from past episodes show up to help fight: the Gravity Zoids, Doug and his Helcat, Rastani and his Blade Liger (accompanied by many other pro Zi Fighters)—even the newscaster lady of before is there in a helicopter, determined to broadcast what's going on so everyone can see Alpha's up to no good. The swarm of Zoids successfully splits the Ultimate Seismo fusion, but that's when Marvis shows up. Alpha's got one more fusion up his sleeves: the Berserk Seismo, which uses a now-giant version of the Steelarmor's Rail Cannon, as manned by Marvis as a gunner. Alpha shoots, tail-whips, and smashes his way through the assembled Zoids, leaving only Blake and RD standing, and then takes to taunting them. In the process, he reveals he's got the brainwashed Luke as his gunner, and laughs as Blake freaks out. Zoids and humans, he says, are just puppets, and he's the one in control of their strings. When Blake and RD rush the Seismo, Alpha orders the firing of its charged particle cannon—which he calls Seismos cannon (“Zenebas Cannon” in the Japanese version). Their shields are rapidly failing under the beam's assault...at least until Blake starts screaming for Luke, who snaps out of his brainwashed state and shuts the gun down. Blake and RD take the chance to attack again, the Gairyuki sacrificing itself so Hien can grab Luke. This leaves RD facing down Alpha alone. The Liger Zero Falcon starts to glow, and all the other Zoids around it roar, as if sending it energy—the glow forms an aura around the Zero, which screeches like the Fire Phoenix before charging Alpha. Matt chimes in that RD's found his legendary Alpha Zoid after all, and the Liger Zero Falcon proceeds to run, unharmed, through the both the many guns of the Seismosaurus and then the Zoid's main gun (now erroneously called a “Seismos swordrail cannon”) itself, dragging its laser lances along the neck and causing a string of explosions. In the aftermath, Blake is shown hugging Luke (who is still blaming himself for what happened), Gummie and the PKB are left to arrest a battered Alpha as he begs for mercy, and RD lands the Zero before talking to Matt and Sweet. All this time, he says, the legendary Zoid was right here in front of him. As an epilogue, Mach Storm are shown back at their base some time later, ready to take their Zoids out for a run. Sandra seems to have made amends (possibly having joined the team), and is even teasing Helmut friendly-like about him being reckless like RD once. The episode ends with the Zero, Leostriker, and Command Wolf trotting out under sunny skies; the Japanese version merely plays music, the English version has Hop narrating about possible future adventures. |
