Story Information
Pilots: Introduction:
 The Rez Wolf is the leading Zoid of Jin's Commando Squad, equipped with a Metal-Zi sword that allows it to slay enemy Bio Zoids. Not only does it sport a custom Sword Drawing System, but it's also capable of effectively evolting into a new form, the Rez Tiger.  [1]

- Kadzuchi


 In Zoids Generations, weapons have an enchanted quality about them. Kadzuchi is the Rez Wolf's Metal-Zi weapon, inherited from Jin's father. It's inferred that the spirit of the weapon can convey thoughts through the Zoid, to the pilot's mind. These words become their mantra, spoken as they prepare to engage an enemy Zoid. The Rez Wolf's sword, Kadzuchi, was first introduced with the following words.

When you encounter darkness, you slash the darkness. When you encounter the wind, you slash the wind. When you encounter a demon, you slash the demon. When you encounter an enemy, you slash the enemy.





- Military History


Roughly 2 Years Earlier, First Encounter

Jin and an earlier version of the Commando Squad were launched to guard a Bio Zoid graveyard, where Bios had been discovered near the capital with their cores ripped out. When one of the young researchers, Seki, wandered into the field they tried to stop her, but she insisted she was following a signature from Bio Zoids. So, she boarded the Rez Wolf and entered under the protection of the Jin Squad, which at the time, had different members (aside from Jin himself.)

The weather was bad, and visibility was low. It wasn't until the lightning flashed that they saw a massive swarm of Bio Zoids heading their way. Jin knew that to turn tail would be death, so they stood and fight, and when one of the team were injured, they surrounded him, ready to die to protect him. The swarm ran right past them, and soon, Bio Zoids and Jin Zoids alike were disabled by powerful electromagnetic waves. A massive Bio Zoid, the Bio Spino, appeared in the graveyard and began ripping cores from the now-immobilized living. With a flash of lightning the Rez Wolf regained its mobility for just a moment. Once Jin realized he could take advantage of these flashes, he and his unit carefully timed their movements then all attacked at once, saving the squad.


Chapter 1, Introduction

When Jin received orders to go to Kageri Village and speak to their leader, he took his Rez Wolf and set out on his journey. The Zoid came upon another of its group members, Ken, and his Hound Soldier battling the village's Liger Blue. It struck Souga, the Liger, with the back of its sword to disable the combatant. After the group settled the misunderstanding, it also helped to defeat a Bio Zoid that Midori (Souga's pilot) and Ken had gotten into a fight with.


Chapter 3, The Bio Zoid Swarm

When Ken and Midori found themselves involved in a fight to save civilians from a Bio Zoid swarm, they themselves got overwhelmed by the enemy. Souga was nearly eaten alive, and sustained a poisonous wound that threatened to kill him before Jin and the Rez Wolf arrived along with Raete and were able to scare the swarm away.


Continuation, Rez Tiger

At this point part of the Rez Wolf's story continues as the Rez Tiger.


Chapter 8, The Final Battle

After saving Midori and Souga from the Reaper, Jin's Rez Tiger could no longer hold its form, and reverted back to the Rez Wolf. Even after the fierce battle he continued to aid Midori, fighting Bio Zoids left and right. A seemingly endless number of them, more called with every roar of the Mother Bio. Soon they faced the beast herself. The only way to defeat Mother Bio was to seal her away, so the wolf once more transformed into the Rez Tiger and pulled Mother Bio's attention, working together with Ken's Hound Soldier so that Souga could escape to continue the ritual.


- Notable Facts


  • The Rez Wolf is slightly larger than the average Whitz Wolf specimen, measuring 0.1m taller and 0.6m longer. In spite of this, it's said to exhibit more agility than its weight should allow.

  • The Rez Wolf faced Tobizaru, a customized Hammer Rock, for 3 years in a row in the Zoids Swordsmanship Division of the capital of Nakato's tournament.

  • The Rez Wolf is a Whitz Wolf, but its armor was changed to red and its name changed to "Rez Wolf" at the request of its pilot, Jin. Though not explicitly stated to be, this seems to be in honor of his father, Gishin, who died fighting to save Nakato from the Bio Zoid swarm, and piloted a red Command Wolf he also called the "Rez Wolf", the last wielder of Kadzuchi.

  • Generally speaking, the Rez Wolf is described as a lone wolf that doesn't like working with others or being forced into action. Its personality is described as cynical, and though it was forced to yield to Jin, it now recognizes him as its pilot and they seem to get along well. In spite of this, he can be a bit of a brat, moving in ways his pilot doesn't expect any time he lets his guard down, purely for the purpose of annoying him.


- Additional Equipment Information

- Kadzuchi Sword Drawing System

Kadzuchi Drawing System: カヅチ抜刀システム

 The special Sword Drawing System is a unique equipment item specific to the Rez Wolf. This system was developed by Jin, and is tuned to his fighting style.  [2]

 When Kadzuchi isn't in use it's stowed inside the black scabbard. Then when activated, an articulated arm draws the sword from its spot above the left shoulder and places the grip firmly in the Rez Wolf's jaws. The arm itself is articulated at the first red cap, where it rotates forward, and where the sword connects.

- Short Sword "Kadzuchi"

Short Sword "Kadzuchi": 小刀「カヅチ」

 Kadzuchi is a living weapon of sorts, a sword made of Metal-Zi. This unique metal is capable of cutting through Bio Zoid "Hell Armor", and is the only material capable of killing Bio Zoids. It relies on the Sword Drawing System to be drawn, and once active, is grasped in the Rez Wolf's jaws for dash and slash attacks.

- Media Appearances

- Zoids Genesis

 The Rez Wolf's primary media appearance is in Zoids Generations, a story from Dengeki Hobby Magazine that was later published as an art book. In this story it's the leader of the main team, the Jin Commando Squad, and acts as an authoritative figure among the rest of the crew. The Zoid is often the one who saves the others in their darkest hour, and is the only Zoid in the story that seems to be capable of "evolting" at will.
