Arashi starts the series as a novice Zoid pilot. Although he can ride the Wild Liger, a powerful Zoid, he starts off weaker than those around him using much more inferior Zoids. At the start of the series, he is briefly mentored by Bacon, and gains considerable skill in a short period of time. By bonding with the Liger he quickly becomes able to use the Wild Blast effortlessly As time goes on, his skills plateau. Using his "King of the Claw" attack, he proves to be strong, but is defeated on occasion by powerful opponents such as Drake and Gallagher. In the middle of the series, he is seen facing overwhelming defeat, and enters a raging Berserk mode. This mode is strong, but uncontrollable, even attacking team mates. It's not until he meets Bacon's old master that he grows considerably in strength. Learning the "King of Claw Spiral" attack, he manages to reach a potency consistently at or above the Four Heavenly Kings and Gallagher.
