- Nagumo seems to have gone backwards in development? Like, she's still denying the dreams are relevant. And shocked that Fujimi wants help from a civilian who they've already been working with for several episodes. And she says this while standing in a lair which belongs to that civilian.

- Wow, they really gave Baku the psychic paper from Doctor Who.

- This series is really going faster with its plot than I would expect. Like, I figured it'd take at least a few more episodes before Baku found out about Nox's former identity as Fujimi's partner. Instead, he's finding out the episode after we find out. Which, to be clear, I'm not complaining about. If anything, I'm pretty thankful that the characters are (mostly) discovering things at the same time the audience does.

- Well, I say that, but I am just now realizing that Baku hasn't learned Nox's name, and is just now learning it after learning about his former identity. And I, on the other hand, am just now learning that it's spelled NOX with all caps…

- The thing about NOX also being an agent is definitely intriguing. It makes me wonder if there's some evil C.O.D.E. with an evil Zero who's giving him these missions. Or if, somehow, C.O.D.E. and Zero are responsible for both of these dream wandering agents...? Zero's definitely been kinda sus at times, so I imagine he must at least know what the deal with NOX is.

- And on the topic of NOX being an agent, it occurs to me that we're at around the point where secondary Riders start getting introduced. Perhaps he'll be a counterpart to Zeztz in that way, too? I mean, Kamen Rider NOX does sound like it'd make for a nice Rider name.
