Please watch in a well-lit room a safe distance from the screen.
I'm Baku Yorozu.
I'm an agent for the Secret Defense Organization, CODE.
My mission—to eradicate evil.
At least, that's what I dream about.
I'm actually a pretty normal guy.
But now my dream has come true,
and I've become a real agent who infiltrates the dreams of others
to stop the nightmares that plague them.
Chef Sannoh. Can you check this?
No good. It lacks the Royale touch.
I followed the recipe exactly.
Maybe your palette has gotten worse in old age?
This is the flavor of tradition from our founding 100 years ago:
the Royale sauce.
If you don't like it, you can get out of my restaurant.
Smells great in here!
Nem!
My veggies will be so happy to be prepared by a five-star chef!
A peach-flavored sparkling tea inspired by you.
So pretty!
Keep those hands moving!
Skimming soup scum is an important job.
Oui, Chef.
Mr. Shiomi! Hold on!
Can you hear me?
Hang in there! Mr. Shiomi!
What happened to him?
It's a biological weapon.
Who’s there?!
Destroy the biological weapon.
Good luck.

We got him to the hospital.
Good work.
Hey, Seven. What's a biological weapon?
In layman's terms, it's a toxin that affects the body.
I'll help.
As thanks for, "Find Nem."
I'm making you a promise.
"Find Nem."
That's another mission I've issued to myself.
I'll be glad to have you.
This way.
What’s this thing?!
What is this place?
Welcome to my mission room.
Oh, what a wonderful guest.
That's Zero, my superior.
A robot superior! That's high-tech!
No, he's just being remote controlled.
Nice to meet you.
Nice to meet you, too.
I'm Nem.
Lovely name. I like it.
Zero. We've had another victim.
How is the Nightmare administering the toxin?
If we could track that down, we'd be able to deal with it.
Is the poison inhaled, or taken orally?
What's this for?
Whatever the case, the fastest way to a solution is find the Dreamer's Mind's Door.
The last man standing is the owner-chef, Rentaro Sannoh...
Morning, Baku.
We've got another Black Case!
Right.
Poison
DREAMER?
Royale Shirogane Sannoh Rentaro
Owner
Satoh Shusuke
Shiomi Ryoji
Coworker
The latest victim, like the last one,
collapsed at Royale Shirogane and was taken to the ER.
What caused it?
Unknown.
The Bureau's info says Royale Shirogane will be catering a leadership conference
between Japan and the Eldovia Republic this weekend.
Upcoming Conference with Eldovian President Private luncheon topics include economic cooperation, humain rights, more
This Black Case could have international ramifications.
International ramifications?
If the Eldovian president is poisoned, it could harm our diplomatic relations.
Though tests revealed no suspicious substances in the body of the collapsed chefs.
The lack of proof just proves that it's a Black Case!
- He's the world champion of unearned confidence! - Anyway, we'll look further into the conference.
Baku, investigate Sannoh in his dream.
R-Right!
Thank you for having us!
Right...
Huh?!
This should be useful on this mission.
What is it?
It's usually an item that lets you disguise your identity,
but the visor has a function for analyzing the composition of a substance.
So I can use this to find the biological weapon?
Yes.
But right now, the Dreamer is awake, so there's nothing you can do.
To refresh yourself...
Do you want a lunch?
But...
A true gentleman knows when to relax.
Hey, Baku.
Wait a minute!
Get out of here!
What's going on?
- Wh-Why? - Just a minute! Don't open that door!
Zero!
You have to stop Royale Shirogane from catering the conference!
Well, so he says, Vice Minister Yakura.
Vice-Minister for Foreign Affairs
Teruo Yakura
But the President of Eldovia requested them personally.
And if he collapses, it'll be an international incident!
Have you figured out what's causing it?
No.
That's why he thinks it may be a Black Case.
A Black Case?
Yes. The truth is, we—
Excuse him. Just Bureau jargon.
I see no reason here to change our plans.
If anything happens, it'll be too late!
Please leave.
Wow! Just what you'd expect from a 100-year-old legacy restaurant!
It's so classy!
Wow.
Whoa...
Huh?
I've never seen Chef Sannoh so young!
You know him?
Oh, so he's the one who invited you?
I met him at my part time job working at a culinary website.
You're working?
Helping people?!
No, no! Helping myself!
Just making some pocket change. Of course.
Well, that's fine, then.
It all smells so good!
Hold on.
Let me check...
Check what?
No airborne abnormalities...
What's that thing?
What are you doing? What is it?
Two-colored carrot and vegetable medley terrine.
It look so good!
Oh, is it all right to take pictures?
Of course.
Very forward of you.
Just checking...
Just checking what? Take a picture of your own food.
Venison en croûte with Royale sauce.
Bon appetit.
Looks so good!
The Royale sauce is famous.
This is...
Let's eat!
Wait!
Just checking...
Could it be...
Don't eat that!
What's gotten into you?
Yes. It's on the menu for the upcoming conference.
I knew it.
Have you learned something?
Yes.
I've found the Nightmare.
What? You're still here?
Why is Lieutenant Fujimi so obsessed with Black Cases?
He hasn't told you?
Fujimi's subordinate in Paranormal Affairs, before you were assigned there...
He was a capable officer, but it seems he quit a year ago.
He quit?
He suddenly left a resignation letter one day, so I'm told.
You think... he...
Fujimi's convinced that a Black Case was behind it.
Good night, Seven!
Good night!
You scared me.
Here, today's freshly-picked vegetables!
Hey, that's not a vegetable!
But Zero says it has healing effects.
This should be useful for your future missions.
I couldn't understand like half of those English words, but...
Okay!
Hey, look! It says, "Recovery has the power to heal anyone, except the user."
So it's kind of a vegetable, in a roundabout way.
It's even green.
Have you found any clues about the biological weapon?
Yeah.
Let's go.
Wait!
What are you doing?!
Your job is skimming soup scum, you know.
Get back to your station.
Seven, what's going on?
The poison...
is the Royale sauce.
Are you saying someone's poisoned my sauce?
Nobody poisoned it.
The sauce itself is...
Stream!
...the biological weapon.
The Nightmare.
What?!
Get back.
Stream!
Let'z Awaken! Let'z Awaken!
Transform!
Let'z Awaken! Let'z Awaken!
Good morning! Rider!
Ze-Ze-Ze-Ze! Zeztz!
Stream!
Good morning! Rider!
Zeztz!
GUN MODE
Now I get it.
That’s certainly unappetizing.
Uh-oh!
Nem!
Wing!
Seven!
I'm sorry. Because of me, you're...
I'm glad you're safe.
When one spends too much time in a half-dreaming state...
One can fail to notice unexpected nightmares.
What?
Chef!
Seven!
Are you okay?
Why? If Chef is the Dreamer...
Baku! Baku!
Hey, are you okay?
Baku... Baku, wake up!
I... I can't afford to fall now...
I won't let you die.
Dealing with scum is my job, after all!
Recovery!
Let'z Awaken...! Let'z Awaken...!
Good morning! Rider!
Zeztz! Zeztz! Zeztz!
Transform!
Recovery!
I will...
cure you, Chef!
Recovery!
You're safe now.
I found it.
Seven! Wake up!
If a Nightmare kills you...
Seven! Wake up!
Wake up, Seven!
...you'll die in real life, too.
My brother’s stopped breathing! I need an ambulance!
Baku! Baku!
Wake up!
Please! Open your eyes!
Seven...!
This is a work of fiction
Next time on Kamen Rider Zeztz
Wake up, Seven! Seven!
Will the bad dream destroy him?
It's our soul.
We can't let the tradition come to an end.
What is the soul they inherit?
This is the power that I've looked for. At last.
Poison
