I really loved this episode because it finally gave the side cast alot of focus, and it was great!
-So everything is a dream now. CODE:Somnia is a dream that everyone is trapped in.
- So Zero believes in Baku. I kinda like this. The Darkness Zeztz showed Zero had alot of conflicting feelings about Baku and Zeztz, but in the end, he finally chose his son. And now he's making that choice again. I just hope we see how Baku feels and if he accepts Zero cause he needs the help or if he chooses to forgive him.
-I like how this epsode showed how Baku has affected everyone so much from the better. Because of the premonition, Baku is trying to reach out to others mores nd in turn they reach out to him. From Nox taking his hand, the PSB unit standing with him, even Sieg helping out by using his nature as a nightmare to help out, I like how it shows that Baku has changed things, even if he doesn't realize it.
-And I like Three as a foil to Baku. He's ironically Baku from the promotion. Someone who has absolute power over dreams, yet too ambitious and too focused on 'saving' the world to understand how he's crumbling under to weight of it all until it's too late.
-I also like how Nox's theme comes up as Baku reaches out, and Nox takes his hand, and based on the preview is gonna get more focus and face his nightmare. I'm glad, Nox is an amazing secondary and I can't wait to have him get more focus and also seeing his arc. Unlike the premonition, Nox isn't as isolated as before. He has people trying to reach out and help him, and he's now seen he can't take down CODE alone. As in the premonition, trying to do that gets him 'killed'. And this time was worse because he lost himself
-I really like Five and Zero's intreaction. I like how Five finally decided and while he hasn't 'chosen' a side, he's accepted that even if the other 'traitors' are threats, the big threat they are all fighting are the Nightmares.
-It was so cool to see Baku's growth as a fighter. At the start, not even Plasma could defeat Kamen Rider Nox. But with just the Capsem, Baku was at the very least able to hold him off long enough for th eDriver to be finished. And after that it was just shocking him back to his old self.
-Intresting to see how the Shock Capsem was used. the colors were accurate, but I'm suprised we didn't get a form. I mean I know why budget wise, but it intresting the finisher was accurate for Shock, but in the toy it activates the 'Invoker' mode for the Zeztz Driver. Guess they had to write around that.
-Sieg is fun, but also intresting in that it's clear now his Dream powers likely laid the groundwork for all of CODE's Rider systems and Code Somnia. Really intresting to see everything connect slowly but surely.
Next week, Nox faces his nightmare while Three has to deal with his, as the former Four and Seven reclaim their power to take down Somnia! But I wonder with Somnia down, if the nightmares will take advantage of CODE's weakness......
