The latest installment in the special effects drama series "Kamen Rider," "Kamen Rider Zeztz" (TV Asahi, Sundays at 9:00 AM) began airing on September 7th. It became a hot topic, becoming the number one trending topic worldwide on X.
The motif of "Kamen Rider Zeztz" is dreams. The main character, Kamen Rider Zeztz/Yorozu Baku Yorozu(voiced by Ryutaro Imai), is an agent who infiltrates people's dreams to carry out missions and protect them from the monster Nightmare that appears in their dreams.
What particularly caught the attention of viewers was the transformation scene in which Kamen Rider puts on the Zeztz Driver, the first "chest-worn transformation belt" in history. On social media, viewers commented, "The transformation scene was so cool," "No matter how many times I watch the Zeztz transformation, it's still electrifying," and "The transformation scene was so stylish."
The visual appearance of Zeztz, with its black and green body and bright red eyes, has also received positive feedback, with comments such as "Simple and cool design and action," "The form is a return to the basics and is cool," and "I like the simplicity of the form, with all the unnecessary elements removed."
Furthermore, there were comments about the gap between Mo's usual "uselessness" and the smart agent he becomes in his dreams, such as "The gap between his airy feeling in the real world and when he awakens as an agent in the dream world was really good," "The gap between Manzu Baku's dreams and reality was interesting, and Imai, who plays him, was also good," and "Ryutaro Imai is so handsome."
In the second episode, which will be broadcast on the 14th, Moko is given the mission of "stopping the bomber" and engages in a fierce battle with the Nightmare monster "Bomb Nightmare." However, in his dream, Moko becomes a wanted criminal and is chased by the police. Meanwhile, in the real world, detective Tetsutya Fujimi(Kenta Mishima), who is investigating "mysterious" phenomena, and his subordinate Nasuka Nagumo(Rina Onuki) contact Moko. Before long, the dream Moko had leads to a major crisis.
