It is later revealed that when creating the ZEZTZ Driver, Zero also created the Code: Somnia (コード：ソムニア, Kōdo: Somunia) system and its namesake Capsem as a direct byproduct of heavily studying Sieg's advanced lucid dreaming, and the systemic overarching weapon was intended to merge all human minds into a single controllable dreamscape. However, Code: Somnia was deemed too dangerous to be used in controlling people's dreams against their free will, as it has the potential to consume their existence when malice dreamers briefly transformed into Nightmares in the process.[50][37] While shutting down CODE and learning that the Nightmares are responsible for the extinction of the dinosaurs and ancient civilizations, Zero plans to reveal CODE and the Nightmares' existence and their unethical activities to the government, as well as coordinate plans with them against the latter faction, only to be killed by the Catastrophe Gore Nightmare.[51]

In battle, Zero wields the Breakam ZEZTZer. He also possesses the Booster Capsem, which he can use as either himself to gain superhuman speed or the CODE Zeroider to gain pyrokinesis.[15][34][52]

After absorbing Nox's rebellious spirit, the Extra Capsem evolves into the Lord Booster (ロードブースター, Rōdo Būsutā) Capsem, which allows Three to transform into Lord Three Booster (ロードスリーブースター, Rōdo Surī Būsutā). While transformed, he gains the use of several bladed tendrils.[31]
