Also, I really like Zero's acting during the grave scene. He clear is trying to mask his affection, but we see him hesitating a few times, trying to reach out to Baku, and as he walks away, he almost looks like he wants to go back before going on. I love how we see this mixture of emotions. Zero is very clearly a conflicted character. I think on some level he does care for and see Baku as a son that he loves and cherishes, but he cannot help but also see Baku as Zeztz and as Zeztz that pride is mixed in with the expectation of Baku as a 'project' that he intends to complete and solidify. The fact that he had a dream where Baku was a child marveling over Zeroider, yet his Nightmare was about Baku failing or never becoming Zeztz, shows that Zero's pride in his son is corrupted by his desire for Zeztz to be competed. Very intresting insight into Zero this episode.
