Because if the theory that Baku was artificially created by CODE is true and how he would have been a more obedient Agent than say, Sieg and that CODE was going to use him for something…then they already kind of failed in a way.

Let me explain. In the precognitive dream, Baku seemed to be doing things that would benefit CODE in doing the missions but also at times, Baku would be willing to go against his orders if it’s to save the dreamer. Eventually, he would go against even that to full don being a CODE agent, shedding his identity as Baku and going by his Agent number name like with 3, 5 and 6.

However, now that he woke up and learned that CODE didn’t really have his best interests in mind and has defected like Nox and The Lady, CODE no longer has the grip that they had on him like they did in the dream, evidently based on Zero with i think he had a conversation with Three after the dream twist and Baku refusing to have a truce with CODE once Sieg came to the picture. Whatever plans Zero had for Baku has been ripped apart by him defecting and I think that CODE/Zero himself will play more desperately having lost their Agent 7 and ultimately that will be his downfall because if we look past Freaky 3, it’s clear that something is being planned for Three based on the intro. I don’t know how much power Zero has in CODE itself but it’s clear that he’s a lot more higher up than 1 and 2 before they both defected and Three appears to not be on the same hierarchy level as Zero. Three certainly has a lot more power than the other 4 agents below him but is probably lower than Zero. So just basing it off the intro, Three could very much overthrow Zero and take his position which isn’t a good thing for everyone else.

And I haven’t even talk about Minami’s role yet! How long was she with CODE? Was she there to monitor him for whatever CODE had planned for him? Where are her parents and what happened to them if they’re not around? If she was there to monitor Baku for CODE, then that makes my thoughts of Zero doing a desperate play for whatever he has planned because it’s falling apart for him like “oh shit! Seven has defected!” “Oh shit! He finds out that his sister isn’t really his sister and is working for CODE!” “Oh shit! My plan is falling apart!”
