I guess it speaks to how seriously the Nightmare threat must look to Zero that he felt they needed whatever Zeztz is, even if it meant sacrificing his own son.

Baku deducing that Zero is his dad just kinda feels like a leap to me. Maybe I'm way too dense to understand the subtleties, but "by god, he let me ride a motorcycle as kid, ergo he must be my father!" I just like, don't get it?

I also don't get the angle that Zero's' dream has been some big secret for way longer than just like, the scene where it first comes up. Halfway through the episode. Or atleast, the way Baku talks about it, it seems to be framed as such.

I just really couldn't get into this one. Neither the Baku nor the Nem stuff.

I think when you see how Zero was looking at Baku and how paternalistic it is, how "you've really grown" sounds like something a parent would say to their child (or at least family would), it makes sense Baku would figure it out.
