The most important moment is much smaller and much more disturbing. Baku walks past an injured man and does nothing. Earlier in the series, Baku risked his life to save strangers. Now, as Zeztz Catastrom, he ignores someone dying in front of him and continues pursuing his mission. Has Baku lost his heart? Has he crossed the line from hero to something else? In this analysis, I focus on that brief scene and what it might mean for Baku’s character, the ethics of his mission, and the larger themes of Kamen Rider Zeztz. What stood out to you most in Episode 24? Did you notice this moment?
