Some Fans Prefers Seed Zenless Zone Zero as a Male

A heated discussion is currently trending across social media, especially on Twitter, after the introduction of a new character named Seed from the Obol Squad in Zenless Zone Zero. The character immediately caught the attention of many players due to its massive, robot-like design that looks straight out of a Gundam series—cool, powerful, and very masculine.

At first glance, most people assumed that Seed was piloted by a male character. The tough exterior and heavy design naturally gave off that impression. But things took a surprising turn when certain in-game dialogues hinted that the pilot behind Seed is actually a female character.

This twist sparked mixed reactions within the community. Some players were disappointed, expecting a pure masculine character to match Seed’s appearance. Others began comparing this reveal to past surprises in the game—like the twist involving Firefly and Sam—or to Talos from Nikke, a large robot also revealed to be controlled by a young girl named Kilo.

Despite the initial shock, many players started to embrace the idea. The contrast between Seed’s massive, intimidating look and its unexpected pilot adds a unique layer to the character. It’s another example of how Zenless Zone Zero likes to play with expectations and keep its story unpredictable.

If you haven’t been keeping up with Obol Squad’s storyline, now’s a great time to start. Seed might just become one of the standout characters in the game, not just because of the design, but because of the surprise that comes with it.
