Plot[]

Continuing from the previous episode, Zeztz is visibly distraught upon knowing that the Bomb Nightmare appearance is actually wished by Tetsuya Fujimi himself, although he ended up deducing that there might be a valid reason for his wish. The mysterious man quietly leave the area while cryptically commented that No One can truly understand a person subconscious, including the dreamer themselves. In the wake od Zeztz confusion, Bomb Nightmare then proceeds to explode the wall of Omi's Police Station, thereby opened the second door with woman statue somewhere (Now christened as Mind Door) inside Tetsuya's subconscious. Zeztz is frustrated for his rescue plan is failing, resulting in Baku's waking up in anger, much to Minami's shock. However, Baku also notices that his recently acquired Transform Capsem is now manifested in real life as well.

Now that the explosion of Omi Police Station is known to public, A panicked Baku finally realizes that the Bomb Nightmare action has affected the real life. Baku quickly tries to report this to Zero, whom comically greeted him by drinking a Tea-flavored fuel. Turns out, Zero is long aware about this fact. And he proceed to tell Baku that this is exactly why Nightmares are fatal to people in real life, as they can manipulate reality as they wishes. Zero further explained that Baku's mission remained the same : Inflitrate people dream, find their mind doors within their subconscious and prevent the Nightmare to manifest in real life ; only that this time, there's no margin for further errors. Fortunately, Zero truly believes that as Zeztz, only Baku is capable to accomplish such impossible feats.

Meanwhile, at the Tokyo Police Station, Tetsuya Fujimi is summoned by the public security bureau director, Tsukasa Todo. However, Todo main reason to call Tetsuya is to announce that the Paranomal Affairs Divisions will be officially dismantled due to his skepticism of the group usefulness, citing that the division wasted taxpayer money. Tetsuya desperately pointed that the explosion on the Omi police station is indeed caused by Nightmares, but Todo didn't believed in such things, even coldly saying that Tetsuya need to wake up from his delusions. This proven to be the last straw of Tetsuya's faith in the Police Institution as whole. He crashes out in grief, lamenting that what he fight for is ultimately for naught. Baku arrived to the police station a bit too late, only to hear from a nearby officers that Paranormal Affairs Division is already dismantled, much to Baku's disbelief.

At night, Baku entered Tetsuya's Dream world as Code Number Seven. Although predictably, he's quickly found and apprehended by Tetsuya himself. Baku pressed the police officer for the location of his mind door, but Tetsuya didn't know about those things and put Baku inside of Jail, guarded by Nem. Baku uses his time to search for any clues inside his memory and finds out something, prompting him to beg Nem to release him. While Nem had no idea what is on Baku's mind, she knows that Baku's intention ultimately means good to Tetsuya and agreed to let him go. After disguises himself as a police officer to escape custody, Baku found Tetsuya's Mind's Door at his police / office van, guarded by several chains. He then enters Tetsuya's subconscious, and looked at the keyhole from his last sealed mind door...

Only then Baku realizes Tetsuya's desire, and he hurriedly goes to the Tokyo Police Station. There, he find Tetsuya in a dazed state, deliriously announced that he'll blown everything to bits. Baku tries to snap him out from his grim delusion, to no avail, rendering him helpless to stop Bomb Nightmare last plan, which is to blow the Tokyo Police Station, at Tsukasa Todo's office. At the same time in real life, the office is also exploded, causing panic among the other polices, including Nasuka Nagumo. This last act also causes all three of Tetsuya's mind door to fully open, thus allowing Bomb Nightmare to absorb the still dazed Tetsuya into itself, which in turn, also causes Tetsuya in real life to be the host of Bomb Nightmare...

Upon his emergence, Bomb Nightmare deployed a field of Purplish Aura to the entirety of Japan. People in real life, including Minami, can now see the Concaved Blood Moon on the Videotron Screen Nationwide. As the night sky hue is covered with Blood Red Aura, the mysterious man sighed in relief and ordered massive amounts of Purple Butterflies to swarm Japan (and by Proxy, the world) to awaken to True Nightmare. The purple butterflies then infects most, if not all people in the vicinity, evidented by their eyes to briefly glowed in purple. Baku then wakes up, only to find out that he and his bedding is located not in his bedroom anymore. Turns out, Zero had dragged him outside to ensure his safety, due to the urgency of the situation. As Zero encourage Baku to stop the now materialized Bomb. Nightmare, he ultimately agreed despite being shaken and mortified with utter fear.

Riding Code Zeroider, Baku went to the now exploded Tokyo Police Station, and find Bomb Nightmare amidst the rubble. Baku angrily asked Bomb to reveal what happened to Tetsuya, only for the Nightmare to arrogantly announced that he only executed what Tetsuya wanted to the T, showing the sleeping Tetsuya inside his body. While Bomb Nightmare gloated in his victory, Baku still believes that Tetsuya has worked his best to carry this seemingly futile mission to protect everyone as a Police Officer, despite all the Pain and Suffering he had received. Baku then attempted to equip the Zeztz driver, only for Bomb Nightmare to easily manhandled the young man, citing that this is the real life. Despite his difficulties, Baku ultimately equipped the Zeztz Driver to his torso and in a huge upset, he actually manages to transform into Zeztz Physicam Impact Form in real life!

The third, and final match between Zeztz and Bomb Nightmare rages on as Zeztz presses on, and actually cornered Bomb Nightmare, bringing the baleful Nightmare outside. Zeztz then uses Transform Capsem to change form into Zeztz Physicam Transform, and parry all of Bomb Nightmare attacks using his malleable limbs. Despite being damaged by Zeztz relentless attacks, Bomb Nightmare still gloated that his victory is assured as he's a Bomb himself, and by exploding with Tetsuya still inside of him, the latter Nightmare will come to a completion. Fortunately, Zeztz solved the problem by using his elongated fingers to pierce Bomb Nightmare body, and defuses the Nightmare from the inside, citing that every secret agent at least know a thing or two about bomb defusing method. This act completely causes Bomb Nightmare to finally loses all his composure, and Zeztz defeats Bomb Nightmare by first reverting back to Physicam Impact form, and deliver Impact Banish Finisher to the monster, saving Tetsuya's life in the process.

With Tetsuya's saved, Baku Mission is completed. Baku then greeted a half-awaken Tetsuya as he wake up and assures him that he won't have a Nightmare no longer before leaving. Nasuka then found Tetsuya knocked out on the street and wakes him up, confused as why Tetsuya ended up there. The episode ends as Baku solemnly ride the Code Zeroider back to CODE base, and the Mysterious man wondering whose bad dream shall he granted next, as the rift between Dream World and Real World has been broken...
