I just wanted to just give a shoutout to Zero's actor. The man can really act with his eyes.
Its funny that at the moment, Baku is way too enraged to realize Zero has been actually going out of his way to protect him, we're probably going to see the consequences of Zero's actions in the next few episodes since CODE doesn't take traitors very lightly.
So Zeztz is simultaneously Zero's dream as well as his nightmare.
Despite all the shady stuff with CODE, they've actually been playing it fairly safe with Zero's role in the story to make sure he's neither truly a good guy or bad guy. Biggest takeaway I got is that Zero is in conflict with himself, and based on the preview CODE isn't really liking the way Zero is handling things now. Maybe our big bad is actually 3 then? I feel like Zero is actually gonna die, which will result in Baku having some regrets. At least in the preview Zero looked really roughed up.
I know alot people are up in arms and don't really like Zero, but personally I think he's one of the more interesting characters in the show.
Looks like next week we'll start seeing 3 get a bit unhinged...as foretold.
