Doubutsu Gattai ZyuohKing

Doubutsu Gattai ZyuohKing (動物合体ジュウオウキング) is the main Giant Robo in Doubutsu Sentai Zyuohger.

Overview
ZyuohKing (ジュウオウキング) is the Giant Robo formation of any 3 of the 5 primary Cube Animals. While this mecha can assemble in multiple combinations, each combination requires Cube Eagle to serve as the command component. To initiate the transformation, Zyuoh Eagle activates Combine Mode (合体モード)on his Zyuoh Changer and inputs the corresponding number code for each Cube Animal involved in the combination. Once the combine function is initiated, three square portals appear in the sky which the designated Cube Animals pass through and then switch to Cube Mode beore stacking on top of each other. The Big King Sword (ビッグキングソード) then comes down from the sky and inserts itself into the center of the stack to serve as the locking component for the combination. From there, the Big King Sword twists and locks the stack into position, switching the Cube Animals to their robot configuration before the hilt of the Big King Sword reveals the face of the mecha and the smaller King Sword (キングソード) is released to activate it. Should a situation arise where the Mecha becomes immobilized, Cube Eagle can seperate from its current combination to reform ZyuohKing with the other Cube Animals. In any of its combinations, ZyuohKing is able to summon the auxilary Zyuoh Cubes from the grid on its forehead to either provide support or be wielded in their weapons form.

ZyuohKing (ジュウオウキング), alternatively known as ZyuohKing 1*2*3 (ジュオウキング 1*2*3), is the default formation of the mecha, using the combination of Cube Eagle, Shark, and Lion. This formation wields the King Sword and specializes in sword attacks. By switching their Zyuoh Changers to Transform Mode (変身モード) and inserting them into their control consoles, the Zyuohgers can activate the King Sword Zyuoh Slash (キングソード・ジュウオウ斬り) finisher, a sequence of three slashes for each of its components. ZyuohKing (1*2*3) can also perform a weaker flaming slash during battle in order to soften an opponent's defenses.

History
The Zyuoh Cubes were first accessed by the Zyuohgers in the face of their first enlarged opponent, the Deathgalien Team Leader Jagged who was given a Continue by Nalia. Signaled by their Zyuoh Changers into summoning the Zyuoh Cubes, the Zyuohgers boarded their individual Cubes and engaged Jagged and his flight of Triangular fighter craft. After swiftly destroying the Triangulars, the Zyuohgers were guided into forming ZyuohKing for the first time, with Cubes Shark and Lion joining Eagle in forming the initial 1*2*3 combination while Cubes Elephant and Tiger missed the "first come, first serve." Fighting the giant Jagged while backed up by Elephant and Tiger, ZyuohKing quickly outmatched the Deathgalien and performed the King Sword Zyuoh Slash to destroy him.

The Zyuoh Cubes were soon summoned again to fight the giant Halbergoi and, after halting his storm of spears, ZyuohKing was formed again, only this time it was Elephant and Tiger's turn to catch the "first come, first serve", thus forming the 1*5*4 combination for the first time. Softening him with the Elephant and Tiger Kicks, ZyuohKing quickly destroyed Halbergoi with the Zyuoh Megaton Kick.

With Cubes Elephant and Tiger buried by a rockfall caused by the giant Bowguns' gunfire, ZyuohKing 1*2*3* was formed only for the bigger target to be buried up to Cube Eagle as well. However, Elephant and Tiger soon found they could free themselves by switching from Animal to Cube modes, with Eagle taking the opportunity to join up with them as ZyuohKing 1*5*4 which moved to eluded Bowguns' attempt to bury it only for the surrounding forest area to receive damage. Sensing that the Zyuohgers needed to take Bowguns down fast, the cube they discovered earlier transformed into the Cube Kirin which outmatched Bowguns firepower before joining ZyuohKing as the Kirin Bazooka, destroying Bowguns with the Zyuoh Fire.

Forming ZyuohKing 1*2*3 to face the giant Amigard, who intended to capture the Zyuoh Cubes with his Capture Net in order to restart his Battle Show, the Zyuohgers saw Cubes Elephant and Tiger ensnared by his net and quickly summoned Cube Kirin to free them before equipping it to ZyuohKing, performing the Zyuoh Fire to destroy Amigard.

When Yamato caught an advance of Triangulars with his eagle vision, the Zyuohgers summoned their Zyuoh Cubes to meet the fleet led by the Player Gaburio, immediately forming ZyuohKing 1*2*3, with Cube Elephant and Cube Tiger as back-up. The Zyuohgers made short work of the Triangulars, destroying them all using the Kirin Bazooka with Gaburio falling down to Earth.

With Cubes Shark and Lion backing-up ZyuohWild against the giant Yabiker, Yamato switched from Gorilla to Eagle and joined with them to form ZyuohKing, leading to the two giant robots fighting side-by-side for the first time. Overpowering the Player together, ZyuohKing and ZyuohWild doubly finished him with the Zyuoh Slash and Wild Cannon Beam.

Trapped in Hanayaida's perfume-induced nightmare, the Zyuohgers experienced a continual loop in which ZyuohKing formed to face the enlarged Player, quickly destroying him with the Zyuoh Slash. In reality, however, Hanayaida was keeping the Zyuohgers' paralyzed as he prepared the Cannibalbulb to consume all life on Earth, a plot which would be foiled thanks to Cube Mogura.

Facing the intensely intimidating power of Deathgalien's master Ginis' Massacre Machine Gift, Yamato opted to summon both ZyuohKing and ZyuohWild at once to face the mechanical monster when it enlarged itself. However, even both giant robots together quickly proved to be no match against the Massacre Machine Gift who overwhelmed them with its firepower, heavily damaging the Zyuoh Cubes to the point where they were forced to seperate while the Zyuohgers were ejected with their transformations negated as the city was devastated by Gift's assault.

In a rematch with the recharged Gift, the Zyuohgers, after tripping it up through a combination of the EagRiser and four Zyuoh Shoots, boarded their Zyuoh Cubes. Facing the giant robot with a renewed resolve and confidence in themselves as a team, the Zyuohgers were granted square rings guiding them to combine their six Zyuoh Cubes along with their two auxilary Cube Weapons to form Wild ZyuohKing for the first time. Brushing off the Massacre Machine's firepower before physically outmatching it, the Zyuohgers peformed the Zyuoh Dynamic Strike finisher to destroy Gift.

Led by Tusk, the Zyuohgers brought forth both ZyuohWild and ZyuohKing armed with the Mogura Drill and Kirin Bazooka respectively to face the enlarged Hattena with ZyuohKing quickly opening fire on the giant hat only for him to evade Kirin Bazooka's firepower before attaching to ZyuohKing's head, resulting in Leo and Sela losing control as Hattena comandeered ZyuohKing with the Kirin Bazooka himself, opening fire on ZyuohWild. Tusk took charge, however, and quickly turned the tables by outmaneuvering Hattena as ZyuohWild leapt forward with the Mogura Drill piercing Hattena, thus forcing him off ZyuohKing. Combining the Zyuoh Cubes into Wild ZyuohKing, the Zyuohgers quickly finished Hattena with the Zyuoh Dynamic Strike.

Among the Zyuohgers' fourteen Zyuoh Cubes, Cubes Eagle, Shark, and Lion became components of the ultimate combination, Doubutsu Dai Gattai Wild Tousai Dodeka King.
