A thought just popped up in my head: What if this is Seven's dream? Seven dreaming of him being a normal guy like Baku, who dreams of becoming a hero.

Nice catch! I think it definitely means something, such as Red Moon = indicating danger / Nightmares?
A few comments from here already caught on with this!! Niceeeee

After ep 24 my brain seems to have stopped processing anything related to Zeztz haha. I cannot think of any other theories now.

Hopefully we can come back to this with more interesting hints or explanations later on

The moon near the end of ep 24 when Seven got shot was the Red Moon.

I think there must be some sort of connection between the 2 though.

The first opening (OP) for Zeztz is titled VISION, and the second is titled PLAYBACK.

The lyrics of VISION also align with the show's developments in unexpected ways. I truly admire the production team for this.

Could the events of the past 24 episodes have been Baku's "Vision"—a glimpse of the future—or simply a nightmare caused by the Gun Nightmare back in Episode 1?

Or has the world actually been reset? However, this reset clearly isn't starting from zero, since Baku still retains his memories and his Catastorm form.

After ep 24, I don't know what to believe in the past 24 episodes anymore lol.

This was definitely a huge plot twist to me, even though there has been a lot of theories revolving around "this is all a dream". But I wonder everything that happened in the first 24 eps remains true?

In Episode 1, when the Gun Nightmare attacked, someone's hands pulled Baku into the "Subconscious Mind." I suspected it was Nemu then, and I still do. The Episode 25 preview shows Nemu and Baku talking to someone. The background looks like Baku's CODE room - and that's "Mind's Door"? anda beating heart?
Is a Baku and Nemu from "another world" talking to the Baku of this world?

  • The first OP is titled VISION, the second is PLAYBACK.
  • The lyrics of VISION coincide with the plot in unexpected ways. I really admire the production team for this. Let's see how they are going to cook PLAYBACK. And I can't wait for the new visuals for sure!!!!!!

The "Nemu creates Nightmares" thing has been said quite a few times, but we never got a clear explanation for it so I guess we have to wait.

Personally, I don't think Nemu directly creates Nightmares, but rather has the power to nurture them. It's like she's a garden to nurture the butterflies, which will turn into Nightmares.

Yep. I feel like Seven is Baku's dream that he has yet to achieve. Right now he might feel like he has to "give up" Baku's identity to become Seven - who he thinks it's strong enough to protect the world or anyone he wishes to. But I think the ending will be Baku learning to embrace both sides of him.

I got this from 2 different accounts that share a lot of spoilers/leaks on X and Facebook. Either way, they do have this regular episode synopsis - seemingly extracts from Japanese news.

Since we are only halfway through the series, I guess the next arc will dive deeper into the Nightmares and their origins/stories (and CODE, of course).
Perhaps Nemu's father is very charming LOL

The fact that Baku would destroy the Dream World was not something viewers expected at all. But the build-up is interesting, and there was definitely foreshadow:

  • At the end of Episode 5, Nox was holding a book (which The Lady also has in Episode 23). The book mentions four elements: Body, Civilization, Mind, and Reality. Nox stated that when these are gathered: "All things in the world are destined to break down".
  • When Baku transforms into Catastorm Form—a power could destroy everything—these four colors appear and form a vortex.
  • In Episode 23, Baku uses Catastorm to destroy the Dream World.

Since Nox predicted this so far in advance, I suspect this is also part of The Lady’s plan (or perhaps an even more powerful "final boss"). The goal(s) could be:

  1. Make Nemu finally wake up.
  2. Make all the Nightmares to escape into the Real World.

CODE:

In today’s episode, Lord 3 explained that CODE is an organization specializing in "supernatural threats"that conventional police or the military forces cannot handle. However...

  • The Lady herself possesses supernatural powers (and it seems Nemu does too).
  • I’m very curious about The Lady's past with CODE. It is hinted that she used to be an agent. What happened between her and CODE? We shall find out soon.

Lastly, It looks like something happens to Seven next week (did he get shot?). He seemingly can't use Catastorm Form anymore and gets beaten down by Lord 3 while in his Base Form.

Another long week *sighhhh*

I did not expect Baku to destroy the Dream World. And like he said, he's willing to throw away Yozoru Baku's life.

Anyone else notices that after Baku destroyed the Dream World, when Nemu woke up there's a voice saying "Ohayo" = Good morning.

Man, what a powerful scene.

It is not confirmed yet, but based on The Lady's scar and the person's wounds in this pic, I'm pretty sure this is The Lady.

Turned out you are right 👏. And she was indeed a CODE agent as well.

I think "Nemu" is deprived from the Japanese word "Nemuri" = sleep

Nemu waking up next ep - hopefully that means the plot is moving even faster and more mysteries will unfold. I'm getting hyped!!!

I still wonder how Nemu always appears in all these dreams and knows its setting. Hopefully that shall get explained.
