Planet Zi.
There, sentient metallic life forms
with advanced combat abilities called Zoids exist.
Zoids are, in other words, living machines.
soko ni donna hito ga
Over there, what kind of people
kurashi waraiatte iru no deshou
live and laugh together I wonder?
soko de donna yume ga
Over there, I wonder what kind of dreams
umare hagukumarete ita no deshou
are born and raised?
chizu ni shimesareta na mo yomenai machi
The map displays a town with no name
kon'ya mo seigi wo mihata ni
Once again tonight, I raise justice as my flag
ikitoshi ikeru mono subete
Everything and everything alive
onaji iro shinku no chi de
has the same crimson red blood
inochi wo sodateru
as they grow up and live
donna seigi wo kazashite mo
No matter what justice you hold above you
nagaredesu shinku no chi wo
the same flowing crimson blood
tomerare wa shinai
will not end
yume wo miteta
I saw a dream
nagai yume wo
A long dream
What are you doing, Ruuji?!
I'm trying to check your temperature...
Idiot...
Devil's Forest
A Konig Wolf is somewhere here in the Devil's Forest.
He won in your hometown's Zoid tournament 15 times...
The legendary Zoid pilot Danbul.
It'll be a huge help if he joins the Digald Subjugation Army.
So what kind of person is he?
You've never met him?
It's an old story.
I see...
From a name like Danbul...
I bet he's a barbaric man, like a gorilla.
The complete opposite of me!
What's up?
Nothing.
It's so calm.
Why's this place called the Devil's Forest?
Wait!
You say something?
What are you doing?!
I'm not doing anything!
It's not listening to me!
What?
It seems Zoids won't work properly in the Devil's Forest.
Why didn't you tell me to stop sooner?
What's with that look? So it's my fault for running into the forest?
Why you...
Damn!
The is sure to make him lose that smug look on his face.
Fool.
Let's eat.
Filling my belly won't cool my temper!
This sure is good, Seijuurou.
About Ruuji...
What if I...
What if you...
Watch where you're touching.
What?!
Just a pretty girl passing by.
What a nice man.
What'd you come to this forest for?
We're searching for a person.
A person?
The legendary Zoid pilot, Danbul.
Danbul?
You know him?
Not just know...
When we were younger, Danbul and I...
had a fiery love like the sun!
Well, let's talk when the sun rises.
Your Zoids won't move until the dawn anyway.
So you're saying they'll work in the morning?
How about that. It's working properly.
Devils appear on moonlit nights.
Devils?
That's the saying.
It seems the weird soil in the forest resonates with moonlight to make Zoids go crazy.
So when the moon is out, Zoids won't move properly in the Devil's Forest?
A Digald Subjugation Army?
How heroic.
So where is Danbul?
I don't know that much.
What?!
Now now, calm down.
If he wants to help you, he'll show himself.
As thanks for the meat, you can stay here as long as you need.
You're pretty good.
I was the best back in my hometown.
Your hometown? What kind of village was it?
It was deep in the mountains.
There were so many large trees...
Flowers of various colors would bloom.
And vast green fields.
It was a beautiful place.
But... while I was gone...
It was invaded by Digald.
My mother is in the village.
My friends are there.
I'll defeat Digald someday and free my village.
And then I'll revive my beautiful village.
So hurry up and show yourself, Danbul!
Even now Digald is getting stronger!
Damn it!
Calm yourself.
How can I stay calm?!
What a waste of the power you have.
Anger takes away your ability to make decisions.
The angrier you get, the more important it is to keep calm.
It's a grave.
Whose?
Well done.
Not only are you skilled, but you teach well too.
I'll have to keep an eye Ruuji's growth.
Weren't we talking about... Ruuji?
I want you to take care of him afterwards...
I would watch over him myself, but...
in my place...
take care of Ruuji's future.
Seijuurou... you...
Who's Ruuji?
You were there?!
Ruuji is a friend of ours.
He's like a little brother.
A little brother, eh?
When I look at your sword...
I sense resolution... no... something like resignation...
Maybe even despair?
Better not to embrace despair.
You may as well be swinging a sword of hope. I know you're capable of that.
I have given up hope long ago.
From what I can see, you'll live longer than I.
Did that give you hope?
Give me hope...
It's been three days and still no sign of Danbul.
If he doesn't appear by morning, let's go to the next place.
You're going?
I'll be lonely.
We haven't found Danbul. It can't be helped.
Once one quits the Zoids, I suppose one doesn't feel like piloting again.
Quit the Zoids?!
Why would someone who's won a Zoid tournament 15 times suddenly quit?
It's despair.
When it's one own fault that they lost someone dear to them.
All that's left is a hand stained with blood.
Danbul may be strong, but he's very different from Ruuji.
Ruuji?
That name again?
Ruuji you know...
He'll make mistakes, he'll have his regrets...
But no matter how vexed and in despair he gets,
he'll overcome those and get back up.
Ruuji would probably tell Danbul...
"It's a pity to waste such strength because of despair."
"Think of a more hopeful way. A way to live."
"The person Danbul loved probably wishes the same," That's what he'd say.
Probably what he wishes for?
Yeah.
Ruuji would definitely say that.
We'll defeat Digald and create a world where everyone can smile.
I think he can really make such a world.
Danbul...
I never imagined I'd be getting lectured by such younglings at this age.
A world where everyone can smile?
If it's not just talk... if they're serious...
We're surrounded.
Is it Digald?
But this is the Devil's Forest...
Those are what are called Bio Zoids, right?
You know of them?
I've heard rumors.
But I'm surprised the Devil's Forest has no power over them.
Don't move from here.
Don't enter the forest.
Stubborn bastards.
There you are!
Hey wait!
You!
Why you!
Damn!
Nothing but little attacks.
They're just going to wear us down since we can't enter the forest.
If they won't come out, then we'll drive them out.
How?
Ron's stuff...
I've been waiting for you!
They defeated the Bio Zoids...
I see. So they possess Leeo weapons.
They're still coming.
That Bio Zoid!
Is it Zairin?!
No. There's another one.
You take Soul Tiger.
I will fight Deadly Kong.
Diga.
Why are there two Mega Raptors?
They're expanding their arsenal.
So Digald is getting even stronger?
Old lady!
Old lady! Hurry and run! Old lady!
Seijuurou!
I'll save her.
Looks like they are serious.
You bastard!
Wait up!
Stop! It's a trap!
Damn it!
Is the moon out?
You're wide open!
The old lady said the angrier you get, the more important it is to keep calm.
You lose for thinking I'd fall for your trap!
This cuts pretty well.
Seijuurou!
That's...
Konig Wolf!
No damage?
I see.
I guess Bio Zoids aren't affected by anything other than Leeo weapons.
Then...
Now, come! Just a bit more! Just a bit more!
Now!
Are you Danbul?
Old lady?!
I knew it.
Old lady is...? What's going on?
She's Danbul.
So it wasn't a barbaric man?
Who ever said I was like that?!
I had planned to never pilot again.
It's your fault that I got back on this guy.
A world where everyone can smile.
Please let me help you.
You showed me that you were serious.
I'm grateful.
You changed my despair to hope.
I'll be waiting at Zuuri.
Tell me one thing.
You're usually so calm, so why did you...?
I remembered my mother.
Your mother?
Alright.
Let's hurry and defeat Digald, then come home to our mothers.
I'm counting on your strength Seijuurou.
Yeah, Garaga.
I look forward to meeting the boy that they speak of.
It'd be nice if he's a sexy boy...
Ruuji...
How dare you peep on me!
Wait! No! It's a misunderstanding!
I didn't know you were fishing.
No excuses!
How dare you do that to a maiden!
I said it was a misunderstanding!
It's a hundred trillion years too soon for you to see my skin!
I wasn't looking. I didn't look.
Come back here, Ruuji!
No way!
I'll definitely get you.
Stop.
It's a relief to see you this healthy.
What are you relieved about?!
