Zoids: Chaotic Century

Set on the distant planet Zi, the story unfolds in a world where biomechanical creatures called Zoids serve as powerful weapons in the long-standing conflict between the Helic Republic and the Guylos Empire. A fragile ceasefire holds, but rising tensions and the return of ancient Zoidian technology threaten to plunge both nations back into war. The story follows Van Flyheight, a young boy who discovers Fiona, a mysterious girl with no memory, and Zeke, an Organoid capable of enhancing a Zoid’s combat abilities. Traveling with the resourceful Moonbay and the reserved mercenary Irvine, the group searches for clues to Fiona’s past.
