Please watch in a well-lit room a safe distance from the screen.
I'm Baku Yorozu.
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've finally become a real agent,
but I hadn't realized what NOX, a man maneuvering in the dreamspace,
was plotting just yet.
It's time for revenge.
Well? How do you like being in space?
It's amazing!
I don't know which way is up!
There's no up or down in space!
Because there's no gravity?
Yeah.
The only reason we see ground as "down" and sky as "up"
is because we're caught up in Earth's gravity.
You think I'll ever go to space for real?
Yes. As long as you have your dreams.
Okay, I think time's up!

Good luck.
When you start a mission
Good and bad luck are up in the air
Wild ambitions

Sick of all the magic

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?
Dream what I wanna be like, hit the limit in the zone
(Start line calls to me)
In a world on fire, harmonize and dare
(Start your new life)
It's to be continued, make it true and be the GOAT
With the power of Barrier...
Barrier!
Don't let the power of dreams go to your head.
Launcher Mode.
What did you do?!
You have no idea
of the horror the Capsems represent.
Is everyone okay?
Yeah.
Are we okay now?
Yeah.
No, that was just the first stage.
According to reports from our observation team,
a massive meteor is approaching Earth.
What happens if it hits?
Humanity will go extinct.
What?
Don't you worry. I know Seven will stop it.
Yeah.
How long until the meteor strike?
Most likely... 48 hours.
The meteor will make impact at 7 AM in two days.
A mysterious crater appeared on the grounds of the Cosmo Space Discovery Center.
Nothing was found at the center of the crater.
The cause is unknown.
The cause is a Nightmare. Am I right, Baku?
Yes.
I witnessed a bad dream where a meteor hit that very spot.
One large enough to cause an extinction event is set to make impact at 7 AM in two days.
The timelines of the dream and real life may not ma—
So? Did you encounter a Nightmare?
No.
To locate it, I'll need to find the Dreamer's Mind’s Doors.
The Dreamer could be a member of the Center's staff.
And...
There's something else I want to tell you.
What is it?
Your former subordinate who disappeared.
Odaka? What is it?
He's been acting in the dream world as an agent for the Nightmares.
Mr. Odaka?
He called himself NOX, but he looks exactly like him.
Don't be ridiculous!
He'd never side with the Nightmares.
How can you be so sure?
Mr. Fujimi?
He was a righteous man.
Even before I came to be convinced of the existence of the Nightmares...
Three Years Ago
One of the Nightmares I witnessed.
It was just in your dreams, though, right?
Yeah.
Set it down.
Shall we bet on it, then?
If they turn out to be real, the next drink's on you.
Drinks will be on me for the rest of your life.
Never mind.
It's best if I'm the only one to have to go through bad dreams like that.
I need to stop them...
the Nightmares that run rampant in people's dreams.
The Odaka I knew would never side with the Nightmares.
But I saw him there!
He's been helping the Nightmares...
Then it wasn't him.
Odaka's not that kind of man.
But...
Let's go, Nasu—
I only let my parents call me that.
Nasuka.
We only have forty-two hours until impact.
There's no time to lose.
We need to comb the institute to find the Dreamer on their staff.
Do you regret it?
That you didn't believe Mr. Odaka before he disappeared.
If I'd believed him, maybe I would have realized the danger he was in.
Mr. Odaka might be alive out there.
Maybe he's been asleep somewhere, having bad dreams all this time.
You believe Baku now?
I feel like I'm going crazy...
But through the course of the investigation, I've seen the Black Cases with my own eyes.
If Mr. Yorozu is right that an extinction-level Black Case is about to occur...
We have to stop it.
Right.
You have no idea
of the horror the Capsems represent.
C'mon, super-rare Capsem!
Why didn't I get one?!
Fortune won't always be on your side.
We're talking about an extinction event here!
Why wouldn't it give me all the Capsems it's got?!
This is a room created by your subconscious.
The Capsems, too, are influenced by your mental state.
My mental state?
Why not see what you can do with what you have first?
I... I was gonna.
FRONT GATE
COSMO ELEMENTARY SCHOOL
Heading out!
Wait for me!
Is this the place?
Here he goes again.
Man, what a freak!
It's true!
Earth's really in danger!
There he goes! Mr. Space and his prophecies!
You should move to the Moon and have it all to yourself!
Are you Seiya Ishii?
You recognize me?
Did you have a dream last night?
I dunno.
Maybe he's not the Dreamer?
Look out!
Barrier!
That was close!
Are you okay?
You're the one who needs an ambulance, right?
I'm fine. The power of Barrier protected me.
Anyway, you've got to be careful when crossing the road!
Right. Sorry.
You want to go to space some day, right?
How do you know that?
As long as you have your dreams, there's nothing you can't do.
You think I'll ever go to space for real?
Yes. As long as you have your dreams.
Hey, you're the guy from the dream!
I'm so glad you remembered!
Huh?
Mister! Hey, mister!
Wake up!
Mister!
M-Minami?
Am I hallucinating?
Sorry my brother made so much trouble!
I'm just glad it wasn't a meteorite that hit you!
Yeah, no kidding!
There is a meteor coming, though.
They say there's a 1% chance that a giant meteor will hit Earth in 2030.
The Cosmo Space Center had a presentation about it recently.
Wow, you know so much!
I really like space.
I read all kinds of books about astronomy.
So you want to be an astronaut some day?
I'll never make it, though.
You will.
You love space, right?
That's the best talent there is.
Yeah?
Have you always loved space?
I got taken to the planetarium when I was little.
The planetarium?
Near the Cosmo Space Discovery Center.
I fell in love with the big, mysterious world of space.
Can it be...
Hey! What are you in such a hurry for?!
I need to get home and get ready for bed!
Bed? It's not even night yet!
Kids have to go to bed early!
But you're not a kid, Baku!
Darn it...
36 hours until the meteor hits.
He really did fall asleep.
National secrets.
Okay.
Huh?!
It may still be too soon to give him this.
You're back, Seven?
That was fa—
Oh, my.
What is this place?
This is quite unexpected.
You look like someone who wants a good explanation.
You bet I do.
Your brother is undertaking a top-secret mission.
Seven, where are we going?
The planetarium. I think the Mind's Doors might be there.
Let's go, Zero.
You got it. Start my engine.
I don't see the Mind's Doors anywhere!
So they're not here?
Meteor approaching. Meteor approaching.
Evacuate at once.
Meteor approaching.
Meteors!
They’re ahead of schedule, aren't they?
That's not the main event yet.
I'll stop the meteors.
NOX...
Why did you ignore my warning?
I carry out the mission I'm given.
That's what an agent does.
Don't you find it strange?
It's a mission where the stakes are humanity itself,
yet they've left it to a civilian like you?
Doesn't CODE seem irrational?
Not at all.
CODE is an organization I made up in my dreams.
CODE exists in the real world.
It has for a long time, since before you were born.
You don't know anything about CODE!
Is that...
You're so deluded. I'll have to teach you a lesson.
Erase!
On your mark!
Disguise.
Invoke Knight System!
Erase!
A shiny ZEZTZ?!
Impact!
Arize! Arize!
I'm on it.
Arize! Arize!
Transform!
Arize! Arize!
Good morning! Rider!
ZE, ZE, ZEZTZ!
Impact!
Erase!
Calibur Mode.
Behold a hidden nightmare.
Launcher Mode.
What is this thing?!
Try me, Nightmare.
Breakam Cannon!
Capsems are the power to make bad dreams come true.
That’s the real truth.
This is a work of fiction
Next time oh Kamen Rider ZEZTZ:
The powerless have no night to transform.
He's lost the power of dreams—
I thought I was the invincible agent.
What is it that you love, Baku?
And yet, he will protect dreams!
You keep dreaming a dream that can never come true.
I will protect Seiya's dream.
