Zeo Zagart

Biography

Zeo arrives as a shy, earnest fan who wants Tyson to teach him to blade, and for a while he is the closest thing the Bladebreakers have to a fifth member. Then his father tells him what he is: an android built to replace a son who died. He declares the team his enemies, and with Cerberus — a three-headed hound of frightening power — he enters the World Championship with Gordo, beating Ozuma, Kai and Max and taking Dranzer and Draciel on the way to the final. He pushes Tyson to the limit in the tiebreaker and loses, and what Tyson says afterwards is what lets him accept being what he is instead of refusing it.

Zeo's hair is long, jagged and turquoise, a shade darker than his eyes. As a young boy he dressed simply, in a plain magenta shirt, blue jean shorts and dark blue socks. Later he switches to a white-and-purple suit with matching trousers and white gloves, the suit fastened with four dark green and gold clasps across the top and pants, worn over a dark green metallic piece underneath.

Zeo is gentle-mannered and treats others with respect, and he idolises Tyson to the point of wanting to become just as great a blader himself. He stays optimistic and determined about his goals, battling on with real perseverance even in fights he expects to lose. Learning that his father, Dr Zagart, means to steal the Bladebreakers' Bit-Beasts devastates him, since it clashes with his own strong sense of honour and his disgust at theft; once his father tells him the full truth, though, Zeo hardens into someone colder and more sinister. That change only reverses after Tyson beats him and claims a second World Championship, which lets Zeo return to who he was before.
