Please watch in a well-lit room a safe distance from the screen.

I'm Baku Yorozu.

I'm an agent for the Secret Defense Organization CODE.

My mission— to eradicate evil.

At least, that's what I dream about.

I'm actually a pretty normal guy.

But now my dream has come true, and I've become a real agent

who infiltrates dreams to stop the nightmares within.

Well, I suppose I'll carry out tonight's mission, too.

Escape with all the prisoners.

Good luck.

I'm in a prison.

Aside from me, there are...

three people incarcerated here.

Where are we? What are we being accused of?!

Calm down, Reiko.

Seven.

Good night.

Looks like this dream is starting out pretty grim.

Hey. Tonight, are we...

prisoners?

Looks like it.

Nem, do you know this man?

Oh, yeah.

We only see each other in our dreams.

Right?

And how do you know Nem?

We're her family.

F... Family?!

Th... The Family Nem?!

My father, Masumi Bijogi,

and my mother, Reiko.

Talk about VIPs...

Guess I'd better make a good showing tonight.

Seven's pretty skilled with his hands, you know!

That's right.

Stay close,

and follow me.

He seems very dependable!

Be careful.

Right.

Get down!

Back up!

That could have killed us!

We'll never get through this place at this rate...

No problem...

Since Capsems have the power to make dreams come true, after all.

Impact!

If I may.

Huh?

Nem, get on my back.

Right!

Y... You scared the life out of me!

What's with this place?

I'm betting there's a Nightmare somewhere in this prison.

Can you break out of this labyrinth of one's mind, Zeztz?

How far down do we have to go?

If we can reach the ground floor, there should be an exit.

Get back!

Stream!

Now's our chance.

Can we take a break?

Good idea.

Nem. Has your family been going through any major issues?

There's a chance that this dream has something to do

with the subconscious mind of one of your parents.

I dunno. I mean, they're not my real family.

What?!

They’re not the Family Nem?

That's just how tonight's dream cast me, so I'm playing along!

You've gotta tell me that earlier...!

So they're a mysterious couple who dream of being your parents, huh?

TIPS FOR AN AGENT 1. Smile! Confidence leads to clearer judgment. 2. Gathering information is key to success. 3. Don't neglect your muscles. Daily effort builds a strong mind. 4. The purpose of a handkerchief is to wipe a lady's tears. 5. Act elegant to become bold.

Good morning. Is there a case?

Morning, Baku.

...Baku?

It's a Black Case.

We don't know that for sure yet.

A mystery circle has appeared in a quarry in Okutama.

That pattern...

I saw that in the dream I was infiltrating just now!

What?

Great work, Baku!

Who are the people in the picture?

They call themselves Nem's parents,

but I don't know who they really are.

Nasuka, run a trace.

Yes, sir.

Now, let's try our luck for when we face that Nightmare.

"Machinery. The power of machines."

"Projection. The power of optical camouflage."

They're not coming up in the police database.

I see. Might be hard to kick off the investigation.

In that case...

Let's ask someone with great instincts.

Yeah, I know that guy.

What, really?!

Who is he?

Bijogi, president of Nem's talent agency.

Seriously?!

That's not his usual vibe, but yeah, that's him.

I run into him on shoots a lot.

- When’s your next shoot?! - What now?

- When, when?! - What's your problem?

- When is it?! Please! - Not tellin' ya.

- Wanna go? - I do!

- Not happening. - Why no—

This is Haruka...

...and Cardboard Senpai's...

Z-Grade Culinary Journeys!

Z-Grade Culinary Journeys

Haruka and Cardboard Senpai's

Discovery!

This combination is Z-Grade?!

Hamburgers + Taiyaki = Bliss!

Haruka, you been cardboarding lately?

I bought some makeup online, and it came in a cardboard box!

Senpai!!

Cardboard!

Any more cardboarding?

I got a cardboard box from my grandma the other day!

Cardboard!

Your artists are as ridiculous as ever.

Cardboard box humor is worth ten dollars.

President Bijogi, thank you so much!

That's him.

Excuse me.

I'm a big fan of Nem's.

I know.

Everyone in the country is a fan of hers, after all.

Yeah, so true...

He didn't react when he saw me.

I'm impressed that you always make it to the shoots. You must be so busy!

Maybe he's not the Dreamer?

Or... he doesn't remember the dream?

The talent are the lifeblood of our jobs. You need to watch after them.

That's great advice!

That kind of love is how you nurture a national star like Nem, then?

I didn't do anything special.

From the moment I met her, she sparkled.

Children's Care Facility Armeria Orphanage

Eight Years Prior

We really appreciate all the donations you've made.

It's the duty of adults to protect the children's futures, after all.

Here.

Thanks!

No problem.

- Hey, wanna play with me? - Can I?

Sure! Let's play!

Let's play! Let's play!

Has she always been here?

Actually, she recently came here from another facility.

She's worth a million dollars.

I asked her to audition to become a child model.

My hunch was proven right.

In no time, my agency had hit it big.

Fate brought us together, Nem.

Don't miss a word Moving is a Snap! We'll put our all into your move! Taking construction into the future

I can’t thank you enough, sir.

Even now, Nem is priceless.

She's a treasure like no other...

Both to me, and to people all over the country.

But wait. In the dream, when Nem said...

They're not my real family.

Why didn't she mention that he ran her agency?

Z-Grade Food!

It seems Bijogi basically raised Nem and sees her as his child.

And to Nem, who was an orphan, he was like a father.

I see.

I found something else interesting about President Bijogi.

Just yesterday, he split with his long-time wife, Reiko.

PRESIDENT OF TALENT AGENCY THAT DISCOVERED NATIONAL BEAUTY NEM ANNOUNCES DIVORCE

An abrupt announcement

No reason forthcoming

They haven't stated the reason.

What?

I've cracked the case!

Already?!

Yes.

Bijogi must be the one dreaming about them being Nem's parents.

President of Agency Bijogi Masumi Bijogi Spouse Reiko

Nem Like Family

He's been like a father to her all these years anyway.

He must have wished they could really be family.

The trauma of the divorce has him dreaming of the happy family life he'll never have.

He's biased about this, so don't take it too seriously.

Right.

Baku. I'll leave the rest to you.

Yes, sir.

Good night, Seven!

Good night.

Hey, Nem.

Why didn't you tell me he was the president of your talent agency?

Oh... well, it just doesn't matter with how this dream is set up, I guess...

There's a reason why you didn't tell me, right?

C'mon, it's no big deal!

This isn't funny!

Don't you realize what's going on here?

Someone could get devoured by a Nightmare!

The bad dreams Nightmares create are more than just dreams!

I know that!

What’s wrong, Nem?

There are some things I just don't want to talk about.

I know you're trying to help people,

but does that give you the right to pry into every corner of their minds?

No... I just...

I'm sorry. I went too far.

Wait, Nem!

Nem, it's not safe to go alone!

Nem!

Nem!

What? Is that the exit?

Thank goodness!

It wasn't.

How are we supposed to get out of here?!

Nem, get away from there!

There you are, Nightmare.

Get to safety with the others.

Nem!

I won't let you interfere with my mission.

Machinery!

Let'z Awaken!

Let'z Awaken!

Transform.

Good morning! Rider!

Zeztz! Zeztz! Zeztz!

Machinery!

Everything kicks off in a dream.

I ain’t got time to count no sheep.

Everyone’s always throwin’ this at me, they’re whispering

“Stay low, don’t wake up, just sleep”.

But they disappeared with my killa beat.

Ya feel me? Reality is full of Misery

Unbeatable in this game cuz my skills flow like the universe.

The answer’s gotta be in my verse.

When I drop these bars, they’re physical,

critical, and straight-up lyrical,

It’s like smooth criminal. Nobody can stop me now

SWORD MODE

In this world, I’m gonna Spit it out!

Such dangerous implements of torture...

Slipping into a dream and then waking up

Whenever I open my eyes, It makes me high!

deserve to be dismantled.

Slipping into a dream and then waking up.

GUN MODE

Whenever I hone my skills, It makes me high!

Slipping into a dream and then waking up.

Seeing those images in my mind, That’s what gets me hyped!

Slipping into a dream and then waking up.

Machinery!

“My desire’s what makes me transform.”

MOVE！TAKE IT! Can’t beat me! MOVE！TAKE IT! (Wha!!)

MOVE！TAKE IT! Can’t beat me! MOVE！TAKE IT! (Blaw!)

(What I see in my mind, It’s breaking through dimensions.)

Escape mission, easily accomplished.

An arrogant assumption.

That voice...

Dreams are a reflection of the Dreamer's subconscious.

You're that guy from last time...!

We meet at last.

Who are you?

The One who knows all.

What did you do to that Nightmare?

Did you think you were the only one who could use the power of lucid dreaming?

This is an inescapable prison of death.

What do you mean, a prison of death?

Dreams only leave behind the slightest trace in reality.

Those who seek only in dreams will never arrive at the truth.

Wait.

The mystery circle from the Black Case is a trace of the Nightmare.

This thing isn't the Nightmare.

Impact!

Good morning! Rider!

Ze-Ze-Zeztz!

BREAKAM SLASH!

The Nightmare is the prison itself.

Which means, this whole time...

we've been inside the Nightmare's body.

Inside the Nightmare's body?

Until your life gives out, you'll remain in this prison

scrambling for an exit that doesn't exist.

Why do you make the Dreamers suffer?

Everyone holds secrets they can't tell anyone.

They seek to escape from that pain.

Secrets?

Hey! Can we even get out of here?!

Don't worry. I know we'll make it out.

No. Let's turn back.

Why?

We can't get out of this place.

But then we'll be stuck in here forever!

Yes, we'll live forever...

Inside this prison!

Nem!

Reiko!

President Bijogi! Why are you taking Nem?!

I'm telling you, President Bijogi's life is riding on this!

Tell us why you divorced each other.

Well, not like I owe him anything anymore.

Maybe it's time.

What do you mean?

My husband has been a different man...

since the accident four years ago.

The accident?

This is a work of fiction

Next time on Kamen Rider Zeztz:

I don't want to accept it either.

The terrible truth comes to light

Absolutely not.

If you sacrifice yourself, this time, Nem will be saved.

The nightmare forces a man into a cruel dilemma

Don't!

I'm making you a promise.

Punish

Let's wake up from this awful nightmare.
