Toku Secrets Podcast: Episode 243 – Kamen Rider Zeztz Mid-Season Review | Episodes 12–24

Kamen Rider Zeztz reaches the middle of its story, and things are getting seriously interesting! In this episode of Toku Secrets, we review Kamen Rider Zeztz Episodes 12–24 and break down the major developments surrounding Baku, Knox, CODE, the Lady, and the growing mystery behind the world of dreams and nightmares.

These episodes dramatically raise the stakes as Baku begins questioning CODE and its true motives, Knox emerges as Kamen Rider Knox, new Riders enter the conflict, and the line between hero and villain becomes increasingly difficult to define.

We discuss the new Rider forms and powers, Baku and Knox’s fascinating dynamic, the expanding conspiracy surrounding CODE, the Lady’s role in the story, our favorite moments from Episodes 12–24, and where Kamen Rider Zeztz stands at the halfway point.

Has Zeztz become one of the strongest recent Kamen Rider series? What do you think of Baku and Knox so far? Let us know your thoughts in the comments!
