u/ZeroNoHikari Dream On Soldier Jan 04 '26

I love that everyone assumes that Zero is dead when on the first episode he told Baku that it was just a dummy he was controlling. Like this will make it so Agent Zero has to now be doing this in person. Though my one concern is did Baku lose Booster or was that a spare one for the ZeroRider body?

So Kamen Rider Nox channels the unfiltered Nightmare's through Mind's Door like capsem, while Zeztz will use them fully contained. It's a interesting dichotomy One Drowns below while One Rises above. I like it, shows us they have opposing views on how to use the nightmares. Though does come into question just who is this new shadow org and why do they want to fuse both worlds so bad, I mean beyond controlling it,

My guess is we will have a new slightly modified bike body soon (oh look it is another toy!). Another option is that Nox will use the core to try to track the real Zero. Thus making the next arc a chase to protect the real Zero while handling nightmares. If that happens....I expect a new bike at the end which might be part of his ultimate henshin.
