[Frontier]

It's an Un-Zeztz-edented development! Everything we've watched from the past 24 episodes HAS BEEN A DREAM BAKU HAD AFTER GETTING HIT BY THE CAR IN EPISODE 1!!!!

So of course we get fun moments like Baku knowing who Fujimi and Nasuka are before he's even met them!

It was kind of nice to see Bike Robot Zero again, even if Zero is confused as to how Baku has a bunch of Capsems (and Catastrom) that he's not supposed to have yet and Baku wants nothing to do with Zero now. Couldn't Zero have at least left the bike though?

It's kind of sad to see Baku and Nem's relationship get reset back from episode 2...although I guess it's karma that now BAKU is the one to handcuff Nem with the cuffs she used on him back then!

Guess we're just speedrunning stuff like Nem finding out about her mom and Baku not wasting any time fighting the Bomb Nightmare this go-around. The only thing more explosive than a bomb? Zeztz Catastrom.

NOX is back! And for once HE is confused as to what's going on and how Baku has Catastrom already...and that Baku might know more than all of them do at this point. At least he was nice to Nem though. Is NOX going to be nicer and less vague this go-around?

Did they actually have Lady's actress in that scene or just someone in her dress?

Okay, so I'm guessing Baku awakening Catastrom was to make him a fully-realized agent...but now that he's foreseen them betraying him, and is a possible risk to Code: Somnia, they need to speedrun Kureha rejoining the team with "Shock Therapy" to have her and 5 take Baku out.

So because Baku didn't initially fail against the Bomb Nightmare, it never possessed Fujimi, never proved Black Cases' legitimacy, and Fujimi lost his job. And because Nasuka didn't get her 24 episodes of character development, she's happy to ditch him. But Baku needs his team, and if that means telling Fujimi and Nasuka things only he could know from his dream, then he'll do it.

Baku knows the full weight of the reality that he witnessed in his dream, but he's still determined as ever to help Nem and those he cares about.

I love how Fujimi apparently came through the door like a normal person this time, but NASUKA is the one who came through the window, completely unprompted. Also, first chronological "THIS IS A BLACK CASE!"

Baku finally has his team again, and together they'll have to find some way to stop his bad dream from becoming a reality!

Could Baku dream project like that the entire time!?

Next week: CODE Agent Battle Royale and...Kamen Rider Dawn!
