The protagonist, Kamen Rider Zeztz/ Baku Yorozu, is an agent who infiltrates people's dreams to carry out missions and protects them from the monsters known as Nightmares that appear in their dreams. The transformation belt, worn around the chest rather than the waist, is a first in Kamen Rider history, and is also a hot topic.
