Episode Synopsis

High-speed mech combat? Check. Kojima drama? Absolutely. Welcome to the Zone.
In this episode of the K J and A Podcast, we fire up our PS2s and take a deep dive into Zone of the Enders, the 2001 sci-fi mecha action game developed by Konami and produced by Hideo Kojima.
We cover:



The lightning-fast combat and unique mech controls


The emotional story of Leo Stenbuck and the Orbital Frame Jehuty


The art style, music, and anime vibes that set Z.O.E. apart


How it was infamously bundled with the MGS2 demo


Its place in the mecha genre and gaming history


Whether it holds up in 2025 and why it deserves a comeback


Whether you’re a fan of fast-action, anime-style drama, or obscure PS2 gems, you won’t want to miss this nostalgic ride into one of Kojima’s most underrated worlds.
