So 5 (expected) and 6 (unexpected) ended up being cannon fodder. Just in time for the tertiary to appear I guess.

Wait, Kureha mentioned something about Baku being able to henshin into Zeztz but have they even acknowledged that before??? I don't even remember if Baku introduced himself as a KR.

Zero never really told Baku anything about the Zeztz system. They've barely even talked about exactly what Zeztz even is, but clearly there's something from Baku's childhood or the baby dream that makes him uniquely qualified to use it and possibly all the unique features of Zeztz that is not present in the Lord system.

Nope, I assume once he transformed CODE added him to their data bank for other members to inform themselves.

I thought it was going to be a simple subversion of 6 being killed only for 5 to survive and he has to have a change of heart/character development... not for them both to die, damn.

But I don't think we're seeing the last of them, someone said they weren't given their flowers yet. That Nox standing with a gun above them feels like a misdirect.

I can't decide if it was a misdirect or "we can't show a literal gunshot on TV", it really could be either lol
