Tonight was the official introduction of the next Kamen Rider series- Kamen Rider Zeztz!
Some highlights from the event:
*Kamen Rider Zeztz’ true name is Baku Yorozu played by actor Ryutaro Imai. Baku is a luckless young man obsessed with spies and secrets. One day when badly injured Baku finds himself in a dream world, recruited by an organization named CODE to fight creatures called Nightmares responsible for attacks on humans.
Because of the Nightmare attacks two police officers- Tetsuya & Nasuka will pursue both Zeztz and the monsters.
Baku’s greatest ally is his younger sister Minami (actress Yagi Miki.) Joining CODE will bring forth a new rival named Nox (Furukawa Yuki)who helps guide the Nightmares into reality.
*Zeztz’ motorcycle will take on a robotic form- becoming a character known as ZERO voiced by actor Jay Kabira.
Veteran Kamen writer Yuya Takahashi will return for this new series, with fellow Rider veteran Kazuya Kamihoruchi directing.
The opening theme for the series is VISIONS by NAQT VANE.
Kamen Rider Zeztz premieres September 7 2025!

when you say it out loud it kind of sounds like the buzzing of insect wings. could be another insect themed one?
They're really into the letter "Z" with this one, even the katakana are stylized to look like Zs in the logo.
ZZZ? Clearly a sequel to OOO.
Is it just me, or does it seem too early to be getting leaks? It feels like we used to not get the next rider's name until the last third or even quarter of the current one.
But assuming this is true, I'm relieved to finally see the G streak end. If not for Gavv, I'd joke about it being an alteration of "zest" and having a food theme XD Would be neat if the driver made a buzzing sound like insects or electricity and the name was an onomatopoeia of that, it'd be a twist on the way some drivers announce the rider's names
If I recall we found out Gavv started filming in March of 2024
And if they are sticking with the early filming schedule which it seems like they are, it makes sense the trademarks start being pushed earlier too.
So, pronounced like "Zettsu" according to the kana. Interesting.
"Zetsu" can mean to "end" something, but then there is also the "ZZZ" theming. So something about sleep (dreams maybe?), but also very final? Z is the last letter of the alphabet after all, so I suppose it all meshed rather well.
It feels so early, but considering Toei is pre-filming now, perhaps this is a sign that the show is going to start filming in April like I've seen some suggest.
My money is 100% already down on some sort of sleep/nap or dream/day-dreaming theme though.
Is it possible for the next rider to have Kabuto & Stronger vibes? The JP rhino beetle motif.
Can imagine a touch of Blade too.
Well, that's an interesting name. In principle, I like both the buzzing insect motif and the concept of the Dream Warrior. Or maybe, given how much attention is paid to Z in the logo, this is Kamen Rider based on Zorro? It's high time to give the rapier into the hero's hands. Although, in fact, all three assumptions do not contradict each other and may turn out to be true.I wonder if the story of Gavv will repeat itself, when all the information about the rider almost immediately hit the net? In any case, I will wait for news.
