I'm Baku Yorozu.
Please watch in a well-lit room a safe distance from the screen.
I'm an agent for the Secret Defense Organization, CODE.
My mission—to eradicate evil.
At least, that's what I dream about. I'm actually a pretty normal guy.
I'd finally became a real agent, when...
Their plot turned our lives into one big bad dream.
I hate the bad dream...
but the Dreamer has done nothing wrong.
I hate the organization...
but the agent has done nothing wrong.
Now we're even.
It's clear that CODE has some kind of huge secret.
Now, let's make it come true...
A world with no CODE in it.
A free and beautiful world.
I'll carry out my mission.
First dream of the new year!
Best symbolism, Mt. Fuji!
Second best, a hawk!
Third best, an eggplant!
I'm stanning Nem again this year!
NEM
New Year's Fan Meetup! Fan Club Member Exclusive!
GOOD NIGHT IN THE NEW YEAR!
Please have a seat.
You're pretty worked up.
Well, sure.
I've been a fan since she made her debut.
Mr. Baku Yorozu ❤
Fan number 7?
You were in the first ten?
Lucky me, right?
This is my costume?
Yes, that's right.
Makes you look tasty.
We have an urgent announcement for all fan meet attendees.
We regret to report that tonight's event has been canceled.
The person you're here to see, Nem, has gone missing.
No way. What could have happened?
I guess that's the role she was cast in here.
Then I'll just have to find her.
I made a promise to Nem after all.
Nightmare.
Where is Nem?
How should I know?
Track the missing.
Zero.
You've betrayed the organization.
When you start a mission
Good and bad luck are up in the air
Wild ambitions
Even freefall feels easy-peasy
All I wanted was a chance to show my soul
Sick of all the magic
I’m undercover, keep it on the down-low
It comes a knockin’, finished chapter
Ideas on full
Pull a lucky fortune
To be rockin’ so I’m ready to go
The future's changing
I’m invincible in my waking mind
Give me this shock to the heart
New ideals in tow, I start up again!
Too precious to let go Beat'cha past!
Sleeping or dreaming, I'll ride so fast!
Roar it right now!
Shock to the heart!
When I feel low, I start up again!
Down that endless road Beat'cha past!
Through the headwinds. I'll ride so fast!
Never back down!
Somebody's heart trapped in the dark
(Start line calls to me)
The mystery is subliminal
Nobodies but I'll scan your heart
(Start your new story)
Is the flow up there cool enough?
No mercy from dark or light, it's a nightmare
(Start line calls to me)
Dream what I wanna be like, hit the limit in the zone
In a world on fire, harmonize and dare
(Start your new life)
It's to be continued, make it true and be the GOAT
You gave in to personal feelings and ignored the kill order.
You let NOX escape.
CODE has been using us agents as sacrificial pawns, haven't you?
What is the organization hiding?
I can't reveal classified information...
except to trusted agents.
Then I won't ask for your help.
Ow...
Tea for you.
Thank you.
Morning. We have guests.
Morning!
Yeah, right!
What are you doing, Minami?!
Now that I know you're doing an important job, I've gotta work hard as your manager!
Aren't you busy enough with your real job?
It's fine. I've had lots of time lately.
My star performer has disappeared.
My jokes have gone missing. Don't try to find me.
Cardboard Senpai
Cardboard!
Then you have to find him!
He'll find his way back eventually.
That's awful.
He's not the only one missing.
Really?!
Yeah.
We tracked down Odaka, but then lost him again.
What?
Baku.
You woke up Odaka, didn't you?
Yes.
The other day, I infiltrated his dream and defeated the Nightmare there.
He was a former agent of CODE.
Of CODE?
Well... I'm sure its complicated.
C'mon, sir. Just come out and say it.
I was...
I was too hard on you.
Hmmm, hrmmm...
Sorry.
Well, I guess... ditto.
I shouldn't have said those things about Mr. Odaka.
All friends again, right?
Let's resume our information exchange.
PARANORMAL AFFAIRS DIVISION
What's your mission this time?
Nem's disappeared. I'm tracking her down.
Nem's already missing in real life. Now she's missing in a dream?
Have you worked out the Dreamer?
There were too many fans to be sure.
I'm not sure if this will help, but I have information on an interesting Black Case.
A Black Case?
Yeah. The things Nightmares do in the dreams
manifest in reality as unexplained phenomena.
Please keep secret what we're about to tell you.
Recently, there have been a series of sightings of a riderless motorcycle.
They see it at night.
That looks like the one the Nightmare rode in the dream!
Great work!
Hey, hands off!
Oh, sorry.
That man is the target.
The bait has already been planted.
Take him alive.
Yes, ma'am.
Go make a bad dream come true.
Sure.
Four years ago, Nem disappeared from this celebrity hospital.
I confirmed it with President Bijogi.
Thanks. You're a lifesaver.
But you really think the Dreamer is here?
The fact that Nem disappeared is a closely guarded secret in real life.
Only people at her agency would know
and people at the hospital.
Hey, Baku. You like this job?
I thought I did, but lately I'm not so sure.
How come?
Conflict with my boss.
I see.
Doctor.
Yes?
Mr. Kondo in room 105 says his pain is really bad.
Fan number 7? You were in the first ten?
All right. Let's up his dosage.
Please do.
Excuse me!
Fan number 7.
From the dream?
Yeah, yeah, yeah!
I still can't forget that day.
Nem's gone?
I've looked everywhere and can't find her.
How?
I don't know.
I keep thinking... if we'd kept a better eye on her this wouldn't have happened.
I've always regretted it.
Her agency's president told us to keep it a secret,
but keeping it to myself has been so hard on me.
Is that why you're dreaming about Nem?
Thanks for helping with my investigation.
You've been helping Dreamers all this time just like that?
Yeah.
It sounds like Nem's disappearance has been painful for the nurse all this time.
I've got to find Nem and end her bad dream.
Just look after yourself, too.
Hey, I'll be fine.
I don't get any blowback if I'm just helping Dreamers.
Don't look for me!
Everyone's worried
Don't look for me!
Seriously, where are you?
Please text me
Seriously don't look for me
Tell me where you are, okay?
Absolutly don't look for me!
Absolutely don't look for me!
Cardboard!
Seriously don't look for me
Tell me where you are, okay?
Absolutly don't look for me!
Another one?
He must really want me to look for him...
He's such a pain in the butt.
Guess you've got it rough, too.
Guess so.
But no matter how absurd it gets, work is work.
"Where are you?! Please text me soon!"
There.
And sent.
You're a pro!
You gave in to personal feelings and ignored the kill order.
You let NOX escape.
Guess I'm still an amateur.
Nothing.
Hello?
Hey. Fujimi here.
About the Black Case...
Witness reports of the riderless bike dry up around Mikao District.
So the Nightmare might be hiding in that area.
Thank you.
It's time I do my job, then.
Please do!
Zero.
Yes?
I want to believe in the agent job I've dreamed of all this time.
So I'll take responsibility for my failure to follow orders.
But I don't know anything about the CODE that exists in real life.
If I'm going to swear loyalty to it, I want you to promise me something.
If I complete this mission, tell me CODE's secrets.
Or do you not trust me?
You've come a long way.
You are the one and only agent.
Very well. I choose to trust you.
But you have to complete your mission this time by the book,
code number: 7.
Right.
A motorcycle is a lot like life.
They both have to keep moving forward.
Just the kind of joke I'd expect from you.
Good luck.
It's him again!
Impact!
Transform!
Good morning! Rider!
ZE, ZE, ZEZTZ!
Impact!
Barrier!
Give Nem back.
Can't happen.
Little Red Riding Hood is trapped inside my belly!
Nem...
I'll just have to get her out, then.
You...
Go after him.
But...
Track the missing.
Do your job.
I'm on it.
I'm your target, aren't I?
Breakam Slash!
As a traitor, your license was revoked,
code number: 4.
Don’t treat people like numbers.
What is that?
That's not something CODE developed.
Maybe I'll give you a bad dream, too.
Shadow!
Transform.
Rider!
NOX! NOX! NOX!
Shadow!
If you keep using that power, you'll eventually be devoured by bad dreams.
Bit late for that.
Erase!
I guess this is it.
Booster!
Erase Delete.
Begone.
This is a work of fiction
Next time on Kamen Rider ZEZTZ:
Your commander is gone.
With Commander Zero lost...
Why continue your mission?
Nem is still alive.
Zeztz vs. NOX vs. CODE
I'll make your bad dream come true.
I'll save you every time...
Pursue
Until I find you in real life.
