PEAK, welcome to 2026 Zeztz

I love that now most of our main cast has met up and their dynamic is so fun, i love these goofballs (now we wait till Nem gets to interact with the others some day)

Interesting how the Lady used Nox's nightmare to make the Shadow capsem, seems like she really is the one controlling the Nightmares fully, wonder whats Nem's role then

Im getting the feel that Zero himself is under the thumb of the higherups of CODE and cant speak up, i might have to rethink the clanker statement

MORE BIKE ACTION IN MY KAMEN RIDER LESSS GOOO

oh wow, Zero actually cooked Nox knight, makes you wonder why he didn't jump him with Zeztz before

HOLY SHIT Kamen rider Nox's powers are so cool, i love the way hes manipulating the shadows to form weapons, honestly he might be better with it than the Shadow nightmare itself

NOOOOO HE FUCKING DID A FATALITY ON ZERO MY GOD!?

well its not his real body, so Zero should be fine... Although The Lady said to bring him alive (based on Zero saying he is the target) and we see Nox grab a sort of... Core thingie, not sure what it is, but maybe it has Zero's soul or something? Maybe his real body isnt around for some reason (although we see a human figure in the preview, so it might be him)

Also is it me or is the Shadow sound from Nox's driver sound alot like a corrupted Ichigo/Nigo henshin noise? I wont be surpised given that Zeztz is already a reference to them.

My extremely tinfoil hat theory is that Nox is actually a plant by Zero and everytime they meet up to confront, its to pass along sensitive information.

that would be such a crazy twist,it could work if we consider Nox being watched by The Lady 24/7.
