  • January 6, 2001

The show Zoids New Century Zero is a Japanese animated television series that first premiered on January 6, 2001. The series is set in the far future, where humans have created living, mechanical creatures called "Zoids" for use in battle. The Zoids are piloted by skilled warriors known as "Zoid pilots", who compete against each other in a variety of combat competitions.

The first episode of the series, titled "Commence Battle: Attack Liger Zero", introduces the main character, Bit Cloud. Bit is a skilled Zoid pilot who travels from town to town, seeking out Zoid battles to compete in. One day, Bit comes across a group of Zoid pilots in a small town who are preparing for a tournament. Impressed by the powerful Zoids they are using, Bit decides to enter the tournament himself.

At the tournament, Bit is paired up against a Zoid pilot named Brad Hunter. Brad is an experienced pilot who has won numerous tournaments in the past and is known for his aggressive style of fighting. Bit, on the other hand, is more laid back and prefers to let his Zoid, the Liger Zero, do the talking.

The battle between Bit and Brad is intense, with both pilots giving it their all. Brad's Zoid, the Command Wolf, is a fierce opponent, but Bit's Liger Zero is able to hold its own. As the battle goes on, Bit starts to gain the upper hand, much to Brad's frustration.

Just as it looks like Bit is going to win the battle, Brad unleashes a powerful attack that sends the Liger Zero flying. The crowd gasps in shock as Bit struggles to regain control of his Zoid. Just as it seems like all hope is lost, Bit remembers something his father once told him. His father, who was also a Zoid pilot, told Bit that the key to victory is to have a strong bond with your Zoid. Remembering these words, Bit is able to regain control of the Liger Zero and launch a counterattack.

The battle between Bit and Brad culminates in an epic showdown, with both pilots giving it their all. In the end, Bit emerges victorious, much to the delight of the crowd. As he celebrates his victory, Bit is approached by the owner of the tournament, a mysterious man named Doctor Laon. Doctor Laon offers Bit a position as a Zoid pilot for his organization, the Backdraft Group. Bit, sensing that there might be more to this offer than meets the eye, declines.

The episode ends with Bit leaving the town, ready to continue his journey as a Zoid pilot. As he travels, he can't help but wonder what other challenges and adventures lie ahead.

Overall, "Commence Battle: Attack Liger Zero" sets the stage for what promises to be an exciting series about battles, rivalries, and the unbreakable bond between a Zoid and its pilot. With well-designed characters, intense battle scenes, and a compelling storyline, it's easy to see why Zoids New Century Zero is a fan favorite among anime fans.
