Well, Zero continues to resemble the show's main villain more and more. He prevents Baku from waking up and gives him another task, this time far less heroic and benevolent than before. Baku immerses himself in a memory, decides he's willing to use nightmares to save people's dreams, and, using his nightmare, gains a lightning-themed power-up. The effects are fantastic, but it's pretty hard to enjoy the fight when NOX is literally trying to wake up. I mean, I'm used to heroes begging for friendship from far more immoral villains, and Baku, ready to kill NOX because he's ordered to, feels really wrong. However, NOX isn't much better. His actions are clearly damaging the real world. Plus, he always presents information with the utmost secrecy and reluctance, but he still wants to be listened to. So, I don't really feel like liking him either.
The idea of ​​preparation agent since childhood has surprised and frightened me . Considering all the conflicting information, I'm now inclined to believe that Odaka, NOX, and Zero are three entities who once shared a single body and are now separated. Or perhaps it's simply a way to further confuse viewers until they find the right actor. We also might have caught a glimpse of child versions of some of the other 5 CODE agents.
I also can't help but note that in this episode, the police and Minami seem incredibly helpless. Fujimi and Nasuki's investigation led nowhere, and Minami is completely incapable of influencing Zero. At least Nem capable of moral support, even if she, too, seems more like a bewildered observer.
Overall, I wonder how this standoff will be resolved, and will Baku fail its mission? Or will NOX pull a trick from "You Only Live Twice"?
P.S. I just thought it would be funny if they added one of the previous CODE agents to Gіrl Remix before she appeared in Zeztz. So, as I understand it, agents don't die, but rather get lost in the dream world, and who knows where they can go from there?
