[Frontier]

Maybe I've been watching too much modern Kamen Rider, but I really have to give a side-eye to any organization promoting itself as being dedicated to "world peace" while still being so willing to sacrifice the human beings who make up said organization.

Ah, so that's why Odakka had a falling out with Code. I mean, losing your ability to transform and CODE basically abandoning you as disposable would probably ruin anyones' loyalty. "Good Luck" just doesn't have the same ring to it there.

Look at Baku re-rolling all the Capsems! Including some I think he lost?

What kind of agent do you really want Baku to be, Zero? Or CODE, for that matter? Though Zero seemed genuine in telling him not to worry Minami.

Nem is so empathetic. Even despite everything NOX has done, she still tried to understand him and what was driving him. Even Baku did.

Santa Claus reference. Ironically we didn't get a full-blown Christmas episode or Christmas death. More like a rebirth.

So...was that Nightmare controlling Odakka into becoming NOX and working with the Nightmares? Or was he doing that willingly? If The Lady is the one growing the butterflies that become Nightmares, I guess it's the latter and the Nightmare was just preventing him from waking up in the real world.

Who put up Odakka in that campground coma ward? Is Nem hidden away there too? Or is she with The Lady?

This time Inazuma Plasma was not meant to herald a shining light of vengeance, but the light that will finally wake NOX from his long nightmare. Couple that with Boost and it's Rider Kick that is SO FAST HE LITERALLY FUTURE SIGHTS HIS OWN FINISHER and you have our complete 1st upgrade form!

I'm surprised we got to see more of the base forms in this fight.

Baku and Odakka are slowly transitioning into the usual Takahashi Main/Secondary bickering but begrudging respect duo.

Poor Fujimi. He was so driven to find Odakka again and Odakka points a gun at him and provdies basically no answers or any sign of consideration.

It'll be interesting to see what Baku and Minami's dynamic will be like now that she's in the know. Also, thanks CODE for letting Baku wake up even though he didn't destroy the "enemy" you wanted him too. I think?

So NOX has been working with The Lady and their rival organization to take down CODE? This is where all the Nightmares are coming from?

Next time: Kamen Rider NOX vs Zero and dare I say a bike fight!?
