So far on Kamen Rider OOO...
Born of desire, the Core Medals contain unimaginable power.
Those trying to secure them include the medallic monsters, the Greed...
Kougami, who formed his own foundation for the purpose...
The brilliant scientist, Doctor Maki...
Hino Eiji, who transforms into Os...
...and the Greed who works with him in spite of that fact, Ankh.
When their battle had seemingly reached it's peak...
A man calling himself "Kamen Rider Birth" appeared before them.
Nice to meet you.
Hmm, maybe that was a little smug sounding. Sorry.
No, it's fine! You really saved us back there. Thanks.
Right to the point, huh?
Oh right, let's see...
Umm...
Ah, here we go!
You're Hino Eiji, who becomes Os...
Which means you must be... yup!
The arm monster, Anko!
What?
Ankh! His name's Ankh!
Huh?
Oh, it's an h! Sorry, my bad.
I've been abroad for a while so my reading's gotten a little rusty.
Now look! Just who the hell are you, anyway?
Me?
I'm Date Akira.
And, uhh... this.
I was asking about that "Birth" thing, actually.
No clue.
Don't give me that crap!
Look, hold on! Cool it!
Sorry to pester you, but...
Could you just give us a simple explanation, so we all know where we stand?
Man, I couldn't tell you. I hate reading manuals.
No way...
But as for what I'm trying to do...
Well, I guess this is my job, really.
Ah, I've done it now!
There we go.
Here.
Consider it a token of appreciation. Sorry for it being something superficial.
Anyway, I need to go grab something to eat.
Seeya.
Kougami's meddling again...
You noticed?
Well, he wasn't trying to hide it, so...
...hey, wait. Even though you're a Greed, you've learned to read kanji?
You're integrating yourself pretty well.
Oh, shut up.
Kamen Rider Birth...
Date Akira, huh?
You count the medals one, two, and three!
Life goes on! Anything goes! Coming up OOO!
iranai motanai yume mo minai
You don't need 'em, have 'em, or even dream of 'em
Free na joutai sore mo ii kedo
You're a free man, and that's alright, but...
kokkara hajimaru The show we're waiting for
The show we're waiting for is about to start!
Count the medals one, two, and three!
unmei mo kimi hotokanai
Destiny isn't letting you off that easily
kekkyoku wa susumu shika nai
So the fact is, you'll have to keep pushing on
michinaru tenkai Give me energy
Stuff I'd never seen before, give me energy
Count the medals one, two, and three!
daijoubu ashita wa itsudatte Blank
So don't worry, there's always going to be a fresh start tomorrow
jibun no kachi wa jibun de kimeru mono sa
You're the only one who can decide your worth!
Transform!
OOO! OOO! OOO! OOO! Come on!
Anything Goes sonna kokoro ga atsuku naru mono
Anything Goes, those kind of feelings are what light up your heart
mitasareru mono mo sagashite
Seeking what you need to be fulfilled
Life goes on honki dashite tatakau no nara
Life goes on, so if you fight with everything you have
makeru ki shinai hazu
Then you'll never feel you're going to lose
Count the Medals! The Medals Os has available are...
And then, when we were in the pyramid, I got lost and couldn't find the guide!
Episode 17
A Kendo Girl, Oden, and a Dividing Yummy
And somehow I ended up at the entrance!
Oh man, and the Sphinx was just amazing!
Morning!
Good morning!
Good morning! How was Egypt, Chiyoko?
Oh, it was the best! You just gotta get out there and travel sometimes.
Speaking of, shouldn't you be heading out somewhere soon, Eiji?
Well... I will, eventually.
Oh really? "Eventually" is what everyone says, but they never go.
Here, Eiji. I know it's a bit late, but thanks.
Huh?
For when you saved me before.
Bye bye.
Hina, everything's gonna be okay.
You really didn't have to go to all the trouble, but thank you.
Well, it's nothing big.
And... I kinda wasn't sure about this, but...
A friend of mine is good at making these, so...
Here...
Move!
Hey, what's the problem?
Maybe I shouldn't give it to him after all, Ankh...
Damn it, there's not a drop of information on this Birth guy.
I guess it's because he hasn't shown up at all since then.
Hey, Eiji. Go do some digging for me.
Oh, calm down. I told you to just wait, didn't I?
We should be able to get some answers if we just ask Mr. Kougami but...
Everyone's on New Years vacation right now.
Damn it, that sneaky old coot! Who cares if it's New Years?
I doubt Kazari and Uva are taking a vacation, after all.
That bastard Kazari, taking my Core Medal.
...now you mention it, though, there haven't been any Yummies lately.
Hey! You better not create any Yummies just because you need Cell Medals, okay?
If I could, I already would have.
Oh, this looks warm! You think it's hand-made?
Anyway, I'm sure we'll see that Birth guy, Date again.
He's involved in the Medal situation, so we'll know what his deal is soon enough.
Welcome!
Point! Back to your positions.
Alright. That was a good head strike there.
Remember how you were breathing.
Yes, sir!
Shiratori, that thrust early on was well done, but you were in too much of a rush.
You two will be representing us in the next tournament...
Keep working at it.
Yes, sir.
Thank you very much!
I don't want to lose, I have to become stronger!
So you've been abroad, huh?
Why'd you come back?
Trying to make a little cash, y'know?
Bad idea.
I'm sure you can tell by looking around, but we're in a recession.
The world's just gone a bit crazy.
Here, look at this.
There's buildings being destroyed everywhere, monsters all over the place.
Apparently, it's cause these monsters called the Greed have revived!
Well, it's not on, like, the TV or the news or anything...
Just a rumor.
But it shows just how uneasy people feel nowadays.
Guess you just have bad timing.
Nah. My timing's perfect.
Just perfect!
Gotta get stronger...
Then I'll...
Umm...
Unleash your desire.
Here.
A Yummy!
Gorilla!
Get out of here, quickly!
Sir!
It still hasn't matured, huh.
Ankh, Medals!
I guess I can't be picky right now.
Transform!

Ouch!
Ow!
This thing's body is like metal!
Stronger...
Gotta get stronger... then I'll...!
No!
Hey, are you alright!? Hang on!
Follow that Yummy!
Him!
Hey, are you alright! Come on!
She spawned the Yummy.
I should get going.
Umm...
Thank you for saving me back there.
You didn't have to come and thank me.
Are you okay?
Yeah... Umm...
That monster back there... was born from my desires?
Yeah.
It's because I wanted to become stronger...
Then because I felt that way, this...
That's kind of the cause, but it's not your fault that thing attacked the dojo.
Those monsters just take your desires and run wild with them.
Run wild?
So just... don't overdo it, alright?
This is your desire.
It'll give you that which your heart yearns for.
I've got to become stronger... then I'll...!
I just...
You're welcome to it.
Providing you show more willingness to cooperate with me...
I don't want to be Birth so badly I need to sell out to that lunatic...
But if I've lost my best chance at fighting because of that...
Well, gratitude is gratitude.
Stronger...
Gotta get... stronger...!
Eiji!
I've found the Yummy!
Keep driving! Go on!
R-Right!
Os...
Eiji! Use these!
Good idea.
Transform!
HAWK GORILLA GRASSHOPPER
This might just get through that thick shell of yours!
You sure do love that stuff, huh?
Eiji!
Keep on your guard. It's acting strangely.
I've got to become stronger... then I'll...!
No... that's not what I want...
What I really want is...
Destroy!
I'll destroy everything!
That's impossible!
Destroy!
Thanks! Hope you make some cash soon.
Oh, I will! This much!
Why did it split into two!? That's never happened before...
To deal with this, we'll need...
Date!?
Date!
Looks like it's the perfect time to cash in.
Transform!
Alright! Let's get to work!
He used a Cell Medal!?
DRILL ARM
Alright!
One more!
What's he doing!?
Yeah, this is much simpler than the manual made it sound.
As long as I make contact this should turn out fine.
Destroy!
Destroy everything!
Hey Hino and Anko, or whatever!
This is gonna get rough, so take cover!
Hey, Date!
And another!
Eiji! Don't let him call the shots!
He's gonna take all the Medals!
I don't really care, but we do need to deal with the Yummies!

What are you doing!? Eiji, grab some of these!
CRANE ARM
You...
Date, is your job...?
Yup. Gathering Cell Medals.
Can't say I care for 'em myself, but, hey.
My contract's just to gather this many.
Umm...?
One hundred million.
Huh!?
I've gotta get them one hundred million.
So I'll be gathering up all the Cell Medals from now on, okay?
Next time on Kamen Rider OOO!
This is what you truly desired!
I wondered what kind of man Birth's operator would be.
What you wanted gone is just around the corner.
Destroy... destroy everything!
You never do anything that'll make yourself cry.
