A transcendentally weird sex comedy that hits the ground running, Zero Man zeroes in on its protagonist, goofball Sakuragi (Chihiro Itakura), who emerges from the blur of a power nap of an undetermined duration in an unknown location. Without a clue as to who he is, what he’s doing there in full police uniform, and what he’s up to in life in general, he finds himself inexplicably endowed with quite possibly the wackiest superpower ever: he has the bizarre ability, whenever he gets erect, to see numbers on the foreheads of everyone around him, including his own, which registers a rather dismal zero. This soon raises three crucial questions: who on earth is he? What should he do with this power that requires crotch friction to actually function? And what should he make of said numbers?
