These three things happened last time, on Kamen Rider OOO!
Firstly, Eiji, Ankh and Hina are caught in a struggle for Medals!
Secondly, they were lured into it by the developer of the Medal System, Doctor Maki, and the Greed Kazari.
And thirdly, they began their experiment using Gamel!
That's what Mezool wants.
She does?
Then I'll do it!
Then let's see what happens once all the Medals are gathered in one vessel.
Someone as simple as you will make the perfect vessel.
And with that, his body contains fourteen Core Medals.
It's a meager sample, but...
...for an experiment in the assembly of multiple Medals in a single vessel, it will suffice.
Though in truth, I'd love it if we could add your Medals to the mix.
To us, our Cores are the very embodiment of our existence.
So I wouldn't make jokes like that.
I'll be taking this, too. Consider it my payment.
Ow ow ow!
You really shouldn't overdo it, you know. You have a fever and everything.
Really? But I feel fine, honest!
Anyway, I need to go catch up with Ankh.
He went to visit Mr. Kougami, so...
I told you no! You've been fighting despite being so hurt...
I don't really get the details, but transforming into Os seems to really wreck your body, Eiji.
No it doesn't!
Look, I need to go...
I said no!
Stop worrying about other people and take care of yourself for a change!
Your health is important, you know!
I'm so sorry, Eiji!
Hang on, Eiji!
Eiji!
This is most tragic!
It seems that Medal transport truck was attacked by this Greed you call Kazari.
He seems quite the sly fellow.
It seems he wanted to sow conflict, and while the fighting was happening...
He would monopolize the Core Medals for himself!
I really hope for your sake you weren't helping him.
This all began when Doctor Maki asked for the Medals to be transported...
Maki...
Oh, that creepy little puppeteer.
It may well have been him. However!
If it was, I have no intention of interfering.
What did you say!?
Doctor Maki has but one goal, one he pursues with great fervor!
His experiments are to achieve that goal.
You understand, I take it? Desire is not to be denied.
Desire... will be the world's salvation!
You count the medals one, two, and three!
Life goes on! Anything goes! Coming up OOO!

Episode 16
A Conclusion, a Greed, and a New Rider
Desire shouldn't be denied?
Then how about you grant one of mine.
Hand over all the Core Medals you have. How many do you have, anyway!?
Ankh, stop it!
Come on, lay off!
Eiji, get off me!
Just calm down!
President.
My hours are done now, so can I go?
Don't I always tell you? Do as you will!
Well then, pardon me.
Thanks.
Ankh.
I think it would benefit you to observe Dr. Maki's experiment.
The power of the Core Medals is capable of more than simply restoring the Greed to full strength.
Given that you want to gather all the Core Medals yourself, I'm sure you'd find it most compelling.
You're going?
Ah, well done, Ankh. You catch on quick.
Umm... I'd heard that the Medals were born from desires before... but what exactly are they?
He told me...
Eight hundred years ago, we were created using the Core Medals.
We are called Greed, and for many ages we were sealed away...
N-No, hold on!
If they were created... did humans make them?
Oh! I'm surprised you're so interested.
Though you've fought very hard as Os, you seemed fairly detached from all that was going on.
You had me convinced that you didn't wish to know.
But as ever, people change.
And now you have been changed by the desire known as curiosity!
Most splendid!
Damn you, Kazari!
Sure, we could just gather our Medals and revive ourselves...
...but just consuming this world would be a little boring, right?
We should think about evolving a little more.
Evolving, huh.
I'll do it!
Kazari got you too, huh?
Somehow... I managed to hold onto one of my Cores... but...
But... just staying in this form is... so painful...
Can't you just do what Ankh does?
I realized something when we took these forms... that bizarre partial resurrection shouldn't be possible...
I don't know how he did it...
It might be because he had more than just his own Core Medals...
More than his own...?
Yeah.
Uva!?
Mind if I try taking one of your Core Medals too?
Eight hundred years ago, the scientists of the age attempted to create artificial life.
They condensed the abilities of various lifeforms within Medals.
But when first they were created, they bore no will of their own.
Hunt down Mezool.
But when one of the ten Medals they each had was destroyed...
...and they were left with the remaining, incomplete nine...
They were filled with the unyielding desire to become complete!
That desire brought forth incredible evolution in them, until they gained wills of their own!
What the heck are you doing!?
And the name of those beings... is Greed!
And those are the Greed...
Yummies!
Get out of here, quickly!
Ankh!
In order to stop the Greed, they used the Core Medals they'd taken from them to combat, and seal them...
...by creating Os!
Transform!

I want more Core Medals...
Desire is the source of life! The source of power!
That's right... more! More!
And in the end, the scientists hoped to achieve...
Ankh.
Why do you want to gather the Core Medals...?
Well then. I think I'll head back, have some ice cream, and go to bed.
A power surpassing infinity itself. If it manifests when the Medals combine in our vessel, our experiment is a success.
If not, then perhaps the vessel best suited to host the power of the Medals would be...
Doctor. You're coming with me to the police.
Your abduction and confinement of Izumi Hina crossed the line!
That was the work of a Greed.
I know from my job in security that he couldn't have pulled it off without your help!
And what will happen to the Medal System without me?
Os' battle would only become harder without me.
More importantly, the equipment we were discussing is finally complete.
I believe it possesses power equal to, or possibly surpassing, Os.
You're welcome to it.
Providing you show more willingness to cooperate with me...
Huh?
Mezool...
Mezool!
Merry Christmas!
Make sure you all enjoy yourselves, now!
Can I get a photo with you?
Here.
Okay, cheese!
Here you all go now!
Thanks very much!
They're really good, you know!
Gathering the Core Medals... I guess I would like to see what kind of power that would result in.
Mezool... where'd you go?
Mezool...
Here you go!
Thanks!
Oh, that looks good!
Hey, what is this?
Fried shrimp.
Fried shrimp?
Man, that's good.
It's really delicious!
Merry Christmas!
Alright then, a photo to remember your visit by!
Too bright...
We're having a buffet here today.
Here, have a plate.
This is particularly nice!
I really recommend it. Here, try one.
Good!
Huh?
Have we met somewhere before?
Eiji, could you grab these?
Be right there!
Oh, I'm sorry!
Mezool!
Huh? What is it?
Mezool...
Where are you, Mezool!?
Mezool!
Where are you, Mezool!?
Mezool... where are you...?
Mezool!
Huh!? Did he say Mezool!?
What was that!?
I can't find her... why!?
Hold it!
That's Gamel.
It seems Kazari's using Gamel as the vessel.
Vessel? You mean...
Yeah. Seems he's got a decent amount of Cores inside him.
What, is that it?
Seriously!? You don't think that's enough!?
No... I doubt Gamel has all nine of his own Medals.
Without a complete revival... even with other Medals, he won't get much further than this.
Mezool!
You have them, don't you...? My Cores...
Mezool! Where'd you go!?
I've been looking everywhere for you!
You're such a good boy...
Come here! I want all of you!
Okay...
You really are such a fool... for a Greed, you really had no desire at all...
But... that's why I could never betray you...
I love you, Gamel...
That won't be enough, will it...?
What the heck is that!?
Mezool isn't in control of her own power. That's little more than a Medal-born monster.
There's nothing little about it! It's really trying to consume the world...
Ankh!
Take that thing down, and it'll be quite a haul.
Transform!

The big question is whether you can take it down...
Behold, Satonaka!
Even without all the Core Medals, it still wields such power!
The power of desire!
That's total overkill... time to withdraw.
No, don't worry. This experiment is a failure.
A Greed is unsuited to be a vessel, as they cannot control the power.
What I yearn for is nothing more...
Than for the world to be reborn via desire!
A resounding success...
If we gather more Core Medals, the result may be even better...
The end to this world that I've desired for so long...
I can't even scratch it!
Don't!
Eiji, get away from it!
Who the hell!?

Whoa...
Eiji, the Medals!
If I've got these, then I gotta... GataKiriBa!

Well, guess this'll have to do.
See you around, Ankh.
They got quite a lot of them, huh...
We'll just have to take them back.
Hey, Ankh...
Are you trying to gather the Core Medals so you can become a monster like that?
Don't be stupid!
Then what are you trying to do?
The thing about us Greeds...
We're fragile... without our Cores we'd just crumble apart.
I want a more complete body... a stronger body.
I won't be split apart like this again!
I see... I guess being a Greed...
Mezool!
I want all of you!
Okay...
Being a Greed... must be kind of...
No, I won't let you end up like this.
Ankh, wait!
I said wait!
Hey there.
Are you that guy from before...?
Who are you!?
Me? I'm, uh...
This is me.

This is your desire.
Transform!
Well then, better earn my keep.
