My take on Kamen Rider ZEZTZ

Bonus Bakus

Roommate just said what if 3 is Baku's older brother and that's why he hates both Baku and Zero? -Damien

"Y'know. Weird as fck how media mixing dreams you have at night with aspirations. We've seen a couple with that, too. Also something about villains being good people but manipulated into performing questionable/bad things if not wronged by those who created them."

*squint* (e_e)

Please. Someone. Anyone. Callout to all zeztz artists. Draw me a Zeztz Shock form. You could call it Inazuma Shock since all the yellow ones are Inazuma. I beg of you.

So this is part two of ep 23 initial thoughts spoilers ahead

The seven persona is now on the real world including the cow lick and the abity to speak english includes, its ironic that Nox actions resulting in Baku trauma for not stopping the deaths of five and Kureha made him go full CODE. I also think that this transformation also has something to do with how Baku woke up from his coma, he replicated the same method nightmares use to get to the real world of opening the mind doors by enacting the fear situations, and considering that it was his own subcouncious its extremely fucked up that he enacted something that traumatized or scares him on a deep subcouncious level to bring the agent persona to the real world, well done Takahashi this is some good metaphors.

Ok i dont know what the Lady did exactly but she is now in contact with Minami and she has her mind control on her. But she does say something interesting possibly related to the ominous book of nightmares, she claims that all throughout history there have been people that have caused disasters through their bad dreams (man am i glad im watching a non english translation because using "bad dreams" to not confuse them with nightnares the monsters is tyring) and tha Baku could be one of them. Of course this could all be her gaslighting Minami but if she is being somewhat true than this has major implications for Baku, like we saw that nightmares infect people like viruses, and more daming nox said that Baku had the power of destruction (cutting back to the book in that moment) so here is my theory, what if the thing that makes Baku special is that when he was a baby he got infected by the special "strain" of nightmare that are the ones who cause disasters (i dont think its the same one all across history but that maybe everyone who gets infected by this type of nightmare makes their own Catastrophe with Gore being Baku version of it) but due to CODE intervention probably he was able to somewhat control it. Like i do know a toy thing that can add a wrench or add more weight to this theory but i think its interesting and having Baku use this incarnation of destruction for good would be a good thematic beat. Also please let Baku talk to his nightmares already we saw that even the basic capsems can talk let my man confront his inner demons soon please.

So we finnaly get some insight into what CODE exactly is and its a huge bombshell, being the collaboration of all of the worlds intelligence agencies to deal with the anomalous, supernatural and aliens (gives me technocracy-NWO vibes if you know mage, or just scp but thats basic). Like not only does this gives us insight into what it is but it also shows that Nightmares are just one thing CODE deals with is huuuuge, like what else is there and what other skelletons does CODE have if this one threat had them making sleeper agents out of kids. Also since the preview showed Baku in conflict with CODE and three saying that he was no longer meeded that just shows that they are thinking small because there is no way the guy that caused that much damage and can create new supernatural weapons and items from his mind and transform into a monster/super hero/weapon to manipulate concepts like gravity is useless to deal with things that arent nightmares like come on dude.

Ok wow first of all shame on me because this place isnt Nem subcouncious, its somewhere where the dream world and the waking world meet but we dont know enough about this place yet, i also want to mention the way the ppes react when the butterfly crosses the door maybe its because the pipes are maintaining portal to the dream world and when someone uses it they have a reaction? Also the moment they looked at each other i knew the show would reveal that Nem is the Lady daughter but i didnt expect Nem to be the one to say it since she admited to not knowing her parents so i wonder how she knew. I could theorize more but im going to wait till the next episode tells more, its probably not going to be fun to Nem but atleast we will learn the Lady backstory and her deal with CODE.

Speaking of which

You know shit is going to get fucked when the "next week" announcer sounds evil

Maybe we are meeting the real Zero? It be fun if he could delay the CODE/Baku conflict for some time so we can see him act as a agent under CODE some more after the fight he has with three

And it seems previous nightmares are coming back

And Baku is having another break down, ) =

I Wanna Be Alone With U (One-shot)

Cw: Selfship/Yumeship, Spoilers for episode 25 of Kamen Rider Zeztz, they're masking it very well but both are traumatized by that premonition, Title of the text inspired by the lyrics of the song Loser by Sunday Cruise

Wc: 1093

From the moment she woke up on September 7 after falling asleep because of her illness, after that dream, everything felt strange. Of course, imagine dreaming for months and that in reality everything that happened in those months did not happen... or it hasn't happened yet.

Her suspicions that something was wrong were heightened when she saw something next to her when she woke up: it was something very similar to what Baku used to transform, but the colors were different: instead of being mainly black, it was white; And next to him was that capsem she had seen in his dream, the capsem of that nightmare she would have.

Nothing was making sense to Mizuki, but she knew that what he dreamed was something, and he only confirmed it when she went back to sleep and being in the dream world, she saw that transformation, she saw Seven transform into Catastrom, but... how could it be transformed into Catastrom? Had the same thing happened to him like her?

they crossed their gaze for a moment; she looking at the catastrom capsem, and he the driver that Mizuki had in her hand, it was obvious that apparently they both had the same dream, but that still did not explain the driver that Mizuki had.

She saw in him the afternoon of the day after the threat of the Bomb Nightmare was quickly over, they both knew perfectly well the changes they were making, and how that would affect fate; and that was certain what Baku planned, perhaps he was thinking of avoiding that fate.

And clearly Mizuki also wanted all of that to be avoided.

They saw each other on a rooftop, both sitting on a bench, now processing those months that had not really passed... and one more topic.

"Am I the only one who feels strange? I know that what we had was a dream but... I don't know." "Mizuki, well, at that moment Moon, still didn't process that dream, that kind of vision or warning of the future that could happen, and she wasn't the only one.

"You're not the only one with that feeling..." Seven replied, since he also felt that oddity of waking up and seeing that all those months hadn't really passed, and also that feeling of guilt for many things even though they had not yet happened, although that was not the only topic they would have to talk about. But just as he was about to bring up the subject, Moon beat him to it.

"Do you... know that now? "It was obvious what she meant, several times it was obvious that she fell in love with him, but at the end of that dream, vision, premonition, whatever it was, Seven should already realize that his partner had been in love with him for a long time.

The truth is that long before that dream, he felt something for Moon, although at that time he thought she was some product of his dreams, but that premonitory dream that confirmed to him that she was real, and partly what would happen, perhaps she could not continue to deny that he was falling in love with the excuse of 'she was not real', because... fuck, she was real, her feelings for him were real.

"Yes... I know," he answered, and when she turned to look at him, he saw that fear and doubt in her eyes, as if she was waiting for rejection. He sighed and ran a hand through her hair, trying to organize everything and not make too many confusions. "Well, I know now that you were always someone real, and not a companion from my imagination."

"Zero made me hide it until you were ready, but I feel that maybe he just did it so he could continue manipulating us, we don't know well anymore" Moon was partly right, they didn't know if the Zero they knew turned out to be all a lie, a personality invented so that they would trust him and CODE's decisions "Maybe I often raised my eyebrow with the few things I knew, what you told me you did with Zero confirms a lot of the dream, and that maybe my sixth sense was right..."

"In fact..." As soon as Moon heard that, she turned to look at him, waiting for whatever he was going to say "Look, I don't know how to explain it, but... I was also feeling something for you." Hearing that clearly, Moon opened her eyes, and was going to speak, but she was interrupted by Seven who had not finished speaking yet "I denied those feelings because I thought maybe it was dumb to be in love with someone who maybe didn't exist, but you exist, you are real."

Moon was starting to blush, she didn't expect that her love would probably be reciprocated, but she wanted to confirm it completely, she moved a little closer, and took his hand before asking: "So you weren't in love with Nem?"

Seven was not surprised that Moon asked him that, but remembering what he saw in that premonitory dream, and knowing her with it, it was understandable that he would seek confirmation, so he said:

"I believed it too, I denied those feelings for you, I thought it was foolish and I thought I was really in love with Nem, but I only changed the face because at that moment, you're both the same but in a different way: something unattainable" He took a small pause, and then continued talking "But after that dream, and seeing it now, you never were"

"And neither you, Baku." The fact that she was calling him by his real name at that moment, and not the one from his dream world self , startled him a little, but then he let out a sigh that was also a small laugh.

"Yes, we're both actually quite ordinary, Mizuki." He decided to call her by her real name now, and noticed how her cheeks grew more rosy.

"Well, I think then..." She brought her face closer to his, leaving enough space for him to pull away if he didn't want to; but he didn't, so Mizuki closed the distance between them and gave him a chaste kiss on the lips, then looked away shyly. "I think with that I could say we're a couple now."

Baku didn't respond verbally, but the squeeze of her hand told Mizuki everything she needed to know: now they were together, not just partners, but something more.
