Lyrics

Japanese

胸を焦がす 正義の魂
ワルドック軍団 倒す為
山をも砕く そのパワー
ギャンブラーZで発進だ!

命を賭けた必殺の ロイヤルストレートフラッシュ!
叩け!砕け!連チャンバズーカ

(セリフ)オレの目の黒いうちは
     イカサマなんて絶対にさせないぜ!?
     おっと、115番台STARTしました~。

ワルドックの野望 砕くまで
オヤジ見てくれ!俺はやる!!

世界中のエネルギー この腕に集めて光る!!
唸れ!叫べ!!ギャンブラー  Z

To overthrow WARUDOC's evil army
Harnessing power to crush mountains

Wagering its life with its special move : Royal Straight Flush!

  (Spoken) Do you really expect any cheating to get past my black eyes!?
           Whoops, a 115 series train just started~

Bright energy from around the world is gathered in my arm!!
Growl! Shout!! GAMBLER Z
