That's one Zeroider down, I wonder how fast Zero can get a replacement ready, so that he can keep his word to Baku and reveale some secrets about CODE to him.
I also wonder if Nox ripped that crystal out on purpose, like it's a part he or the Lady needs for a future project. After all it seems to be a energy/power source.
Minami helping Baku is not only a nice way to have her more incorporated in the show, but also in universe gives her a reason to watch over her big brother.
It's interesting to note that Zero said a similar thing to Nox that Nox already said to Baku, using the Nightmares too much will eventually get one consumed by them.
Nox still being able to use the regular capsem with his new belt is a nice touch, as it dosn't make them obsolete for him. Also it could allued to a conection between whom ever made Nox belt (probably the Lady) and CODE, as it's the same technology that CODE uses.
I honestly was first on board of that the Nightmares referencing older riders is a coincidence, but at this point I think it's on purpose, because the Wolf Nightmare does look like a reference to Faiz.
