Random stuff I noticed: The black Capsem used to activate Seven's gadgets instead of Zeztz forms, (called the "CODE Capsem" on the wiki), has an animation of a running black cat. Black cats are associated with bad luck, which Baku has. The pair of creepy eyes that appear with Zero in the opening have vertical slitted pupils like a cat. And the wiki lists a cat-themed Nightmare that hasn't appeared in the show yet (from promotional content, I assume).

I don't know what all this means yet, but I'm pretty sure a cat or cat-themed character is going to be important.

The cat nightmare actually appeared in the spin-off focusing on Minami:

First look at Zeztz Inazuma Plasma, Plasma Booster, and Nox Knight:

Pretty cool, I like how the blade of the Breakam Zeztzer can combine with the bow to make a bigger sword, always nice to see earlier gear keep some relevance when the new upgrade shows up. Nox's weapon on the other hand... meh. Bandai's website shows it splitting open to reveal a gun barrel in a separate color which does look good, but the melee mode just has a blunt orange blob? A blade on the edge or picking out some of the details in color would've saved it, too bad.

Nox Knight (haha get it, knight like night?) looks really good, I like the combo of wider orange and thinner gold lines. And while I tend to not like gold or rainbow forms, Inazuma Plasma strikes a good balance of being suitably flashy for an upgrade without getting too gaudy. I'm less sure about Plasma Booster, maybe I'll warm up to it but for now it just seems to clutter the base Plasma suit, and shouldn't there be a bit of breathing room before we stack another upgrade on top of the first one!?

Nox Knight looks interesting. I was expecting the colors to be more inline with the Driver, but the design itself still looks good.

One nitpick about the design I do have is the face. I can't really tell if he's supposed to have big eyes like Zeztz and the antennae are going over them like a Knight's visor, or if the smaller shapes directly underneath the antennae are his eyes and they're supposed to be small eyes that are scowling.

The Zeztz stuff is pretty neat. iirc it's been mentioned once or twice in the show that one of Baku's incidents was getting struck by lightning, so perhaps the reason this form will be more powerful is tied to Baku having to address a past trauma to access/obtain it.

Maybe they're supposed to work like the regular Zeztz forms? i.e. Plasma is the base form, and then Booster functioning more like an add-on.
