The Mad Genius of Fighting ON the Scythe
Wonder Form shrinking wasn’t the crazy part of Zeztz 11.
The crazy part was shrinking him so he could fight on the scythe itself.
Instead of just showing off the new purple scythe with cool swings and flashy moves, the show zooms all the way in and turns the weapon into an entire battlefield. They have Wonder running along the shaft, dodging mold monsters, and treating the scythe like a platforming level straight out of a toy commercial.
And then the moment that fully sold me:
he jumps onto the ball attachment and log-rolls it like a lumberjack.
Tiny Rider. Giant sphere. Full sprint to spin it.
It’s ridiculous and brilliant at the same time.
This isn’t lazy toy marketing.
This is mad-genius toy marketing — the kind that actually makes the gimmick fun instead of embarrassing.
Later we get the hundred-scythe phantom attack, which rules, but honestly nothing beats the commitment to the micro-scale scythe fight. They didn’t just show the toy.
They made the toy the entire concept.
Let me know if this worked for you or if it went too deep into beautiful, toyetic chaos.
VIDEO REVIEW
BLOG REVIEW
Intro Hook
Kamen Rider Zeztz 11 surprised me. I went in ready to roll my eyes at the shrinking gimmick and the toy-selling antics… and somehow the episode actually worked.
Not just the fights, not just the Ant-Man bits, but the way the show is slowly peeling back the deeper mystery.
Let’s talk about why this episode landed — and why Agent Zero just became the most suspicious character in the show.
SPOILER WARNING
Full story discussion below.
Episode Reaction
The shrinking stuff shouldn’t have worked. On paper it sounds dumb: the Rider goes small, they put him on a toy playset, the monsters stomp around like it’s a macro-level comedy sketch, and he even sprints across a ball to spin it.
But I loved it.
It had the same energy as classic Astonishing Tales Ant-Man. Everything blown up to giant scale, the world reframed, the action suddenly weird and fresh. It shouldn’t work — but it really does.
Digging Into The Story
The real surprise wasn’t the toy gimmick. It was the slow burn plot progression with Okata / Nox.
A commenter on my Zeztz 10 short suggested that Nox = No. X = Number 10.
That shattered my brain in the best way.
If that’s true… why is Baku No. 7?
Are they counting down?
Are these ranks?
Are they roles?
Or is this all misdirection?
What we now know
- Nox was an agent or is still connected to them
- He has access to Dream Gear independently of Agent Zero
- He uses a recovery capsum to restore himself
- He somehow encoded the belt inside three paintings
- He can bring fragmentary dream-data into reality
That last one?
That’s a Kingdom Hearts mechanic.
“Fragmentary data becomes physical again” is straight up Aqua DLC.
Is the belt real?
We still don’t know if what Nox manifested is a real-world belt or something usable only inside the dream realm.
But he said he wants to restore something in the real world — which implies his plan reaches far beyond dreams.
Agent Zero: Getting More Suspicious Every Week
I don’t trust this guy anymore.
He knows the national secret.
He refuses to tell Baku because it would “endanger him.”
That screams manipulation.
The near-confrontation this episode felt like foreshadowing.
Baku needs to grow before he can stand up to Zero, but that clash is coming.
And honestly?
A Baku vs Agent Zero fight would go absolutely feral. I want it.
Suit Talk
The purple suit looks good, the scythe is great — but I don’t love that it has “technological” detailing.
If the Technolom caps have that aesthetic, why does this?
Shouldn’t reality-breaking power have a different visual language?
Not a dealbreaker, just weird.
Side Character Bits
Baku’s sister snooping through his closet is fun.
Her momentum feels like she’s about to find out way more than she should.
Final Thoughts
Zeztz 11 was fun, weird, inventive, and surprisingly plot-heavy.
The shrinking gimmick worked.
Nox continues to be fascinating.
Agent Zero continues to be sketchy.
Good episode.
Let me know what you thought.
- Did Wonder Form win you over?
- Is Nox really No. X?
- What is Agent Zero hiding?
- Where does Zeztz go from here?
