After the shocking events of Episode 24, the story appears to reset in a kind of New Game Plus timeline , but the emotional core of the episode comes down to one line from Baku: \"My mission now is to make sure my dream never comes true.\" For years Baku dreamed of becoming an invincible CODE agent , Code Number Seven. But now that dream has become a nightmare. If his vision of the future is real, then the very dream he chased his whole life may lead to disaster. In this video I break down: Why this line hit so hard How Yuya Takahashi structured the story from Episodes 1–24 The “New Game Plus” reset happening in Episode 25 How Zeztz uses the same characters and story pieces to start a new version of the story Yuya Takahashi has already proven himself with Kamen Rider Ex-Aid and Zero-One , and Episode 25 shows once again why he may be one of the strongest writers in the modern Kamen Rider era. Let me know what you thought about Zeztz Episode 25 and whether you think this story reset is going to make the second half of the show even better. Check the pinned comment for bonus breakdowns from this episode. Did that line get you too?
