Baku, cornered, encounters a mysterious person, who entrusts him with the Zeztz Driver and Capsems, and he transforms into Kamen Rider Zeztz!

In a dream, Baku somehow becomes a fugitive criminal. When he encounters the Bomb Nightmare, he transforms into Zeztz, but the Nightmare escapes. One night, Baku is suddenly summoned by Zero, who gives him an order to "infiltrate other people's dreams and prevent the Nightmare's nightmares before they happen." This means that he has to stop that bomber... Baku's mission to protect his "dream master" begins!

"To stop the nightmare, you must find the Mind's Door in the nightmare world." After receiving an order from Zero, Baku falls asleep and infiltrates Fujimi's nightmare to find the door to his mind. However, the Bomb Nightmare causes an explosion in front of Baku's eyes. If this continues, Fujimi's nightmare will become reality!? Baku transforms into Zeztz to save Fujimi and the world!

Baku dreams that he is guarding a VIP, the father of the bride, at a wedding rehearsal. Then a man appears and tries to steal from the bride, Miyuki.

And what secret is hidden in the relationship between Nem and Bijogi? Nox appears in front of Baku and eerily says, "This is an inescapable prison of death." Will Baku be able to carry out his impregnable mission?

In a dream imprisoned within a prison, the dream master, Bijogi, took Nem and vanished. Puzzled by this bizarre behavior, Fujimi and Nasuka reveal a certain "cruel truth" to Baku. After learning everything, Baku returns to the dream world and takes on the mission anew to save Bijogi and Nem. But once again, Nox stands in Baku's way...!

Baku infiltrates the traditional restaurant "Royale Shirogane" in a dream to carry out a mission to destroy a biological weapon. Right before the wary Baku's eyes, Chef Shiomi, who had tasted the owner-chef Sannoh's dish, collapsed. Upon waking, Baku visits Sannoh's restaurant, where another unexplained food poisoning incident occurs. Could it be a biological weapon again? What is the true nature of the nightmare...!?

What is the nightmare Chef Sannoh desires? Baku finds a clue in the words of Shiomi and others in the real world, discovering Sannoh's third Mind's Door in a dream. Peering inside...!

However, as Baku pursues the culprit, Nox appears and warns him, "learning too much could destroy you." The next instant, Baku is struck by a blow from Nox's weapon...!?

The masterpiece stolen in the dream was corroded by the Nightmare. The national secret hidden within the painting would remain unrecovered if this continued...

Baku's new mission is to rescue Nem, who was abducted by a Nightmare. Zero denounces Baku as a "traitor to the organization" for letting Nox escape.

Baku, having undone Zeztz Catastrom's transformation, falls into a deep sleep and enters the realm of the subconscious. There, he learns of the intense feelings Nem carried, and Baku himself resolves to take decisive action. Finally awakening from his slumber, Baku coldly declares to Minami and the others before beginning his mission. "I am Code Number: Seven. I'll carry out my mission..." What has transformed Baku into this cold-hearted man? And where is he headed?

The cold-blooded agent, Code Number: Seven, Baku, shakes off the attempts by Minami and the others to stop him and sets out to carry out his mission: "Find Nem." Baku races to meet Nem, who has awakened from her dream. Amidst this, The Lady manipulates a Nightmare to attack CODE headquarters. Then, Three appears, transformed into Lord Three...!!

Baku awakes in a hospital bed and realizes all his experiences had been a dream. But if it was a dream, why are the Zeztz Driver and Capsems here...? Confused, Baku falls asleep and reunites with Nem in his dream. Were all his experiences just a nightmare, or...!?

In his dream, Baku recounts his terrifying experiences to Fujimi, Nasuka, and Minami. Nox was also secretly listening to Baku's story when Five and Six, acting on CODE's orders, suddenly appear! The four clash, but then a new disturbance occurs!?

Under a fierce assault from a mysterious Rider who appeared out of nowhere, Baku is jolted awake from his dream. Who is this person capable of changing the future? Baku sets himself the mission to "uncover the enemy’s true identity." Meanwhile, at CODE, Zero and Three grow increasingly alarmed by the appearance of "Sieg." Who exactly is "Sieg"…!?

Tormented by Sieg, Baku approaches Nox in an attempt to uncover Sieg's true identity. Meanwhile, at CODE, Three is considering deploying "Code: Somnia", CODE's ultimate weapon. Amidst this, Baku once again faces off against Sieg and declares, "I'll be the one to shatter this nightmare", challenging him to battle!

Baku meets Minami, who has become an agent, in a dream. Baku helps Minami with her mission to find a lost cat, but they are attacked by a Nightmare, and he wakes up. A "Black Case" has occurred in which Minami has grown a cat's tail. When Baku falls asleep again, he challenges the Nightmare to battle in order to save Minami, but...!

Minami is a CODE agent... Upon learning the truth, Baku is disappointed and furious, realizing that Minami had merely been "pretending to be family." In his dream, Minami is transformed into the Cat Nightmare once again. Baku transforms into Zeztz Catastrom and, despite knowing her true identity, attacks the Cat Nightmare...!?

"You will be eliminated by CODE..." After receiving this ruthless verdict from Zero, Baku infiltrates Zero's dream. Attacked by a mysterious black Zeztz, Baku is forced to confront a terrifying truth! Meanwhile, Sieg, plotting to use Nem, lures her into the Nightmare Prison.

Zero, his biological father, had been using his son, Baku, for Zeztz's sake. Unable to accept his own cruel fate, Baku is tormented by his inability to understand Zero’s true intentions. Will Baku be able to overcome this nightmare…!?

Sieg turns Nem’s nightmare into a prophetic vision, causing the Nightmare to manifest in the real world and attack civilians; witnessing the chaos, Baku uses his damaged Zeztz Driver and attempts to transform with a Capsem, but something goes wrong as he struggles to become Zeztz.

Revived, Baku enters the depths of Sieg’s psyche—driven by an obsession with Nem’s nightmares—and uncovers the truth behind his past; after identifying the Nightmare within him, Baku confronts Sieg once more, leading to a decisive battle between Zeztz and Dawn.

When Baku awoke from an ominous dream, the real world had been completely transformed. Determined to uncover the truth, Baku returns to the dream world, only to find that Nem was being targeted by Six. As Baku scrambles to protect Nem, Three appears and demonstrates a terrifying power...!?

After being saved by Nox, Baku is pressed to reveal the location of CODE's base, which he saw in a prophetic dream. It seems Nox intends to storm CODE's headquarters... After much internal struggle, Baku also resolves to destroy the activation device of Code: Somnia. Nox clashes with Three, while Baku faces off against Five and take back the world from CODE!

As development of the Zeztz Driver nears completion, Baku comes under attack from Nox, who has been manipulated by Three and transformed into a ruthless warrior. Despite fighting back with the Capsem, Baku finds himself increasingly overwhelmed by Nox’s relentless assault. Meanwhile, in the real world, Three senses a threat to his plans and forcibly awakens Zero in an effort to stop the Driver from being completed, setting the stage for a desperate battle on multiple fronts.

Determined to destroy CODE even at the cost of his own life, Baku tracks down the missing Nox by diving into his subconscious. There, he witnesses Nox awaken a new power through the Capsem and transform into Kamen Rider Nox. As Nox declares his intent to cast everything into darkness, he confronts Lord Three in a fierce showdown, setting the stage for a battle that could decide the fate of both worlds.

A new "Black Case" emerges, seemingly linked to the missing Capsem once used by Code: Somnia. Acting on Zero's orders, Baku sets out to recover it before the situation spirals out of control. His search leads him to Sieg, whose fused Nightmare has fully awakened. Suspecting Sieg of stealing the Capsem, Baku transforms into Zeztz and engages him in a fierce battle, unaware that an even greater threat may be lurking behind the incident.

A series of "black cases" has occurred in which people who have committed crimes in the real world have gone missing. It appears to be the work of the Punish Gore Nightmare, who metes out divine punishment to sinners. Even if they are sinners, this is going too far! Nox joins Baku in his attempt to stop the Nightmare's rampage. Facing their most formidable enemy, the two transform into Zeztz and Rider Nox!

A Nightmare has launched an attack on CODE. After Zero informs Baku of the impending collapse of the world, Baku rushes to the CODE facility. There, Baku is confronted by Odaka, who aims to destroy CODE. “Zero is essential!” Baku transforms into Zeztz and clashes with Nox Midnight Shadow!

Devastated by the loss of Zero, Baku is overwhelmed by a sense of loss. “What should we do now that he’s gone…?” How will Odaka respond to Baku’s question!? Though Baku couldn’t shake his doubts, faced with a reality spiraling into chaos, he awakens with a new mission. Transforming into Zeztz in his dreams, he takes on the Catastrophe Gore Nightmare!

A new Black Case involving the Punish Gore Nightmare has emerged. Baku tries to stop Punish from running amok, but finds himself in a tough fight. Unable to bear watching Zeztz struggle, Nem negotiates with Sieg to deal with Punish. She then confronts Punish herself, but just then, Sieg appears...!

The Oblivion Gore Nightmare activates the Power of Oblivion. Nem's memories are erased, and the objects and people around her begin to vanish one after another. "I don't want this to happen!" Nem desperately tries to resist, pleading with Sieg and Nox. And Baku, who tries to save Nem...!?

Having awakened with no memory of her past, Nem had become a popular celebrity, spending her busy days under the watchful eye of her kind mother, The Lady. However, an incident threatens this peaceful life: the Oblivion Gore Nightmare appears and attempts to merge with Nem. As Nem’s consciousness grows hazy, she is drawn toward Oblivion…!?

The Lady, determined to bring Nem back, uses the power of the Phantom Gore Nightmare to create a new world of illusions, driving Baku into a desperate situation. Nox’s dark powers should be able to dispel Phantom’s illusions. Having regained his memories thanks to Baku and Nem, Nox transforms into Nox Midnight Shadow and clashes with Phantom!

Although he dragged the Phantom Gore Nightmare into the darkness, Odaka remains in a deep sleep. Is he refusing to wake up of his own accord? Meanwhile, the Oblivion Gore Nightmare once again unleashes the power of oblivion. “It’s because I was born that these nightmares are happening…” To save Nem, who is suffering from this, Baku transforms into Zeztz! He challenges Oblivion to battle, but…!?

Sieg teams up with Nox to take the place of Baku, who is suffering from physical ailments, and they face off against the Oblivion Gore Nightmare. Baku, having recovered, also joins Nox and the others. He transforms into Zeztz and challenges Oblivion to battle, but around that time, Nem...!?

Driven by strong resolve, Baku heads toward the Mind's Door, but if Nem returns, the Oblivion Gore Nightmare will also be revived. The world will be destroyed once again. Still, Baku refuses to give up. In a completely white, empty space where no one else is present, he pleads desperately, but…!?

Baku transforms into a Rider alongside Nox and Sieg. They face the Oblivion Gore Nightmare in their final battle. Even with the combined power of Zeztz, Nox, and Dawn, they cannot defeat Oblivion. Just as their spirits are about to break, Zeztz picks up a new Capsem, and then...!
