The main protagonist could be an eager guy who had a big, exciting dream (hence the name Zeztz that was likely inspired by the the word zest) and possessed a latent/hidden ability, some kind of combination of reality-altering/bending/manipulation power (like Sougo Tokiwa did in KR Zi-O and Haruhi Suzumiya did) and dream infiltration/manipulation abilities similar to what the Gridman hosts and the characters in Inception/Paprika/The Cell did. At some point in the story there could happen a connection between dream and reality in the form of a reality-altering dream like shown in Donnie Darko and Rider Time: KR Zi-O vs KR Decade.

The ability to enter a human's subconscious realm was also shown in KR Wizard when KR Wizard or KR Beast entered a Gate's Underworld to prevent the Phantoms from wreaking havoc there, although it didn't cause a change in the real world, only creating new Phantoms. In KR Den-O, Imagins were also able to enter a human's subconscious realm (i.e. their contract holder's memory), traveled to the past and wreaked havoc there, and caused drastic changes in the future world. In KR Zeztz, the villains could be actual otherworldly beings that invaded the human world (and materialized) through people's nightmares, a combination of the premises of Dreamscape and Gridman/SSSS.Gridman/SSSS.Dynazenon. Dreams/imaginations could be seen as a portal to potential worlds or even alternate worlds, and the villains (and the Riders) could likely harness the energy from humans' dreams to manifest themselves and make themselves stronger. Many surreal, bizarre dream sequence scenes and confusing (or even convoluted!) internal logic similar to Inception could likely appear in the story.

The pointy corners of the logo have that jagged, slightly cartoonish look that are often used in old cartoons to depict a hole in the wall, which could be a visual clue that the villains likely came from a "dream realm" and broke free to the human world through people's nightmares. At least it looks more neutral/ambiguous and non-descript compared to KR Gavv's logo.

Mmmmmaaaaayyyyybbbbbeeeee...

Perhaps the overall theme is chasing your dreams to an extreme where you ignore everything else.

Yes, that could be the case. The MC could be an overly optimistic dreamer with a severe tunnel vision who's chasing the end of the rainbow while ignoring everything in front of him, so he's basically the opposite of Eiji Hino/KR OOO, haha.

Or the main character is a perpetually sleepy guy. Then if Den-O is added to Zeztz's extra content, for once we can focus not on Momotaros, but on Kintaros.

I love how everyone seems to already be completely convinced this will be dream and sleep themed when it could just as easily be something like, I dunno, anthropomorphic letters. Did anyone think Saber would have a book motif based solely on its name?

Maybe it'll be about teaching kids the alphabet XD
And if that happens, a certain user will start demanding Sesame Street references... Jokes aside, a letter motif actually doesn't sound too far-fetched, given that Kamen Rider already did that once with W.

But while Geats was a marathon swim in a pool of broken glass to me, I have no problem with Takahashi. He has his strengths and he knows how to hold the audience's attention. Plus, I think it's wrong to blame one person for the entire show.

"The Best" is actually very fitting for the show, which is in Stronger's 50th anniversary and Kabuto's 20th anniversary. Plus, I thought the writers could combine the ideas of "Zetsu being the best" and "Z is the last letter of the alphabet" by making the main character a cool underdog. I mean, we already have that type as the Red Ranger in Gozyuger, so why not try him in Riders?
