Description
Analog, originally named Onigiri, serves as a central character across the series. He first meets Arashi in Episode 7 during his escape from the Dark Metal Empire's research facility, where he was forcibly employed to develop Hacker Key technology enabling Dark Blast attacks. His involvement in these experiments inflicted severe harm on Zoids, leaving him burdened by profound guilt.
Scientifically inclined and analytical, Analog holds encyclopedic knowledge of Zoids, routinely detailing their names, types, and capabilities—even when absent from encounters. Initially valuing logic above all, his experiences with Arashi and Team Freedom teach him to embrace emotional bonds and intuition in connecting with Zoids. Despite his intellect, he occasionally overlooks critical details, leading to errors he strives to correct through inventions.
As a pilot, Analog partners with the slow-moving artillery Zoid Tanks. His combat style centers on Tanks' long-range Laser Cannon, requiring point-blank positioning for maximum impact while exposing them to enemy fire. This specialization proves vital against aerial threats other teammates cannot engage. He becomes Team Freedom’s second member to unlock Wild Blast, though his close-combat skills lag behind allies.
Analog’s relationships drive his development: Arashi is his first true friend, inspiring unwavering loyalty and shared journeys. Initial self-doubt over his past actions morphs into responsibility; joining Team Freedom offers him redemption by opposing the Empire. His backstory reveals enslavement under the Empire, forced to experiment on Tanks—a guilt that lessens only after rebelling alongside Arashi. This act spurs Tanks to entrust him with its Zoid Key, cementing their partnership.
Throughout the series, Analog evolves from the Empire’s reluctant pawn into Team Freedom’s proactive strategist. His scientific expertise becomes key to countering Imperial technology, while confronting his past showcases personal growth. Though excitable and prone to oversight, his dedication to protecting Zoids and supporting his team remains unwavering.
