These three things happened previously, on Kamen Rider OOO...
Firstly, another of Ankh's Core Medals is found.
Secondly, a criminal who hosts one of Kazari's Yummies escapes from jail...
...and targets the detective who imprisoned him, Izumi, and the man who turned him in, Yasu.
And thirdly, Yasu betrays Eiji and Ankh, stealing their Medals!
And that makes eight...
Just one more...
And at long last, my revival will be complete...
One last Core...
Kazari!
What?!
These are Cell Medals...!
If you're going to use a human to do your bidding...
...you should make sure they know what they're after.
I knew you'd come after me. Did you really think I wouldn't take a few precautions?
I see...
But it's a waste of time...
Considering how easily I can take them from you.
Do you really think I'd have them on me?
Where are they, then?
I want one thing: that Core Medal of mine you have.
So you want to trade?
Not a bad deal, right? You'll have your nine Medals, then.
I have a hard time believing you'd tell me where it really is...
Don't worry about that. I had him hide it for me.
Ankh, you...!
Ah, I see.
Well, then...
If you want it, go ask him where it is!
Eiji!
No way!
Ankh!
Ankh, you...!
You'd better hurry. He's the only one who knows where it is.
Ankh! How could you do that?!
Kazari's still pretty naive...
Ankh!
You were lying when you said Eiji had hidden it?!
Ankh!
You count the medals one, two, and three!
Life goes on! Anything goes! Coming up OOO!

Episode 20
Bait, Suitability, and the Flaming Combo
That damn Ankh! I was so close!
I've finally found it...
My Core!
That's just cruel! You sacrificed Eiji just to get your hands on that?!
He was going to kill us all...
Better to buy a little time, right?
How is that better?!
Look, we need to go help him!
He's been fighting for you all this time, hasn't he?!
If that's enough to do him in, he's not gonna last long.
How could you... you're sick!
Hey! Give that back!
Eiji!
Eiji...
Give it back!
Wait!
I dunno what's going on anymore!
Sheesh, screw it. Not my problem anymore. Goin' home...
That was a close one...
That cat bastard!
Did you miss me!?
...Oh, they left already.
Eiji!
You might be freakishly strong, but that's all you've got going for you.
So if you don't want to take a plunge, hand over my Medal.
I won't! Not until we save Eiji!
Just give it back!
What's your problem?! I hate you so much!
All you do is cause people problems!
And you... you use my brother's body to do it!
He'll be so upset at what you've made him do!
Going down...
He's alive!
No, no... I saw nothing, I saw nothing, I saw...
Oh man!
Welcome!
What's this? You're working here too? You sure do get around!
Not really...
Gotou, do you know him?
Yeah. I'm Date, we work for the same company, you could say.
Oh really! Nice to meet you. Please, take a seat.
Wow, this is quite the unique cafe you have here.
Isn't it just?
Oh! Isn't this in Cuba? That's the famous long-legged clown, right?
Ah, and this must be in Morocco?
Oh my! You love to travel too, Date?
Well, it's not so much traveling, I've just worked all over, so...
Oh really? I'd love to hear about that more.
Wait, isn't this...!
Oh, he works here too!
He loves to travel too, so maybe you've run into him before!
Oh my! We'll have to ask Eiji if he knows you. Right, Gotou?
I do kind of remember seeing him before all this started...
Hino Eiji...
Eiji...?
Ow, that hurt!
Sorry, sorry!
I'm sorry about this... we're really causing you problems, aren't we?
Don't be like that! I mean... I betrayed you guys, after all.
Well... if monsters like that threaten you, you don't really have a choice.
Maybe... but it's still like, a bad habit of mine...
But man, that friend of yours. Y'know, the one on the detective's arm?
He's a real piece of work, isn't he? Using you as a decoy like that...
Must have been a shock for you, huh?
Give me back my Medal!
No! I won't!
Even you can't break through those chains.
Thank you very much!
So he's working here because... he figures he's already died once?
What the heck?
Gotou, all the customers have left already, so if you want to wrap up and talk to Date, you can go ahead.
You two worked together so you have a lot to talk about, right?
What, so you wanted to be Birth, Brotou?
You shoulda said something!
No... I realize how pathetic I was to feel that way now.
Aw, come on now!
Check it out. This is Birth's main weapon.
It's pretty easy to use, but the recoil's kind of nuts.
Yeah. I still haven't found Os yet.
But I think we can have a lot of fun with this Yummy.
It has powers inherited from both myself and Mezool.
It's quite the sight.
I see.
But the more powerful it becomes, the more likely it is to lose control, as we saw before.
Hmmm... well, that could be fun. It'd lure Os out, at least.
And I'm pretty certain this Yummy can take down Os.
You're gonna pay...
Anyone who double-crosses me is gonna pay!
Do you think Yamakane will come after me again...?
It's pretty likely.
If I'd known this was gonna happen, I would never have ratted on him...
But, you were just cooperating with the police...
You make it sound far more noble than it was...
Truth is, I've just always been kind of a turncoat...
Well, I dunno... it's more... I just can't trust in people, I guess.
Though... guess my problems aren't much compared to yours.
The situation with Ankh is different.
He's been like that since the start.
Yeah, I know how you feel!
Yamakane's just a real mean piece of work, too...
He used me to do his dirty work, but never thanked me, never gave me a cut...
All I had was my pride.
Oh that's exactly the same!
I mean, how mean can you get?
He nearly killed me back there...
Brawny little wench...
Damn it!
Give it a shot.
I can't.
I was the one who threw away my chance to become Birth.
I kept on droning on about wanting to save the world...
...And I wasn't even willing to swallow my pride to gain the means to do it.
Look, just shoot the damn thing, will you?
Come on!
Understand now?
If you're gonna use this thing, your usual training's not gonna cut it.
Right now, even if you wanted to be Birth, you couldn't handle it.
The rampage begins.
Run along now. Ruin whatever you see fit.
It's him!
Stay here!
Wait, you're... can you really fight him, all banged up like that?
I won't be alone.
I'll have help from a nasty piece of work.
Huh?! What're you talking about!?
There's no way he'll come and save you now!
After the way he betrayed you...
You were even saying what a jerk he was earlier!
You're right, I definitely can't trust him, but...
It's the Yummy...
Time to make up for lost Medals.
Don't lose that Medal. Got it?
What?! You're going alone?
If Eiji is alive, he'll come.
You really think he'll fight with you after what you did to him?!
And he's bound to be injured...
He'll come. There's a Yummy that needs beating.
Ankh, your arm...
Defeating Yummies is the one thing I can count on him for...
Maybe because I know what he's after. It's the one constant. Even if it ticks me off...
How can you be so sure...?
Brotou, you've got until I earn my hundred million to train up so you can use that thing.
That way I can quit when it suits me.
Date...
Now then. Time for me to get paid.
I guess you survived.
Of course I did. Haven't you learned anything?
Just don't lose any more Medals, you hear me?

That takes care of that...
Why the heck is it so strong?!
Ms. Satonaka.
I'd like you to deliver that item we're holding for Mr. Hino.
The timing is perfect!
Yes, sir.
What the heck?!
This is bad...
Eiji!
Hino, get it together!!
Sorry...
Mr. Hino! The President says he'd like you to make use of the item he was holding for you.
Holding...?
Hey, Eiji! What's she mean by that!?
Sorry... but I just wasn't sure you should have it.
You little...!
Hey! That's mine! Give it back!
Wait! Don't you think this makes the two of you even?
If it'll save Eiji, then I'll let you have this.
As long as you promise to let him use it.
Hina, don't!
Please!
Hina!
It'd be bad for you if he died, right?!
Just this once...

Wait! An—
Ankh...
He got some Core Medals back, but why didn't his body regenerate like the other Greed...?
What's wrong with Ankh...?
Ankh...
Man, even if they lock him up again, he's still gonna hold a grudge against me for turning him in...
I just can't trust him! Not anymore! I can't!
U-Umm... I'm sorry?
Yasu!
Aww man, I knew this'd happen...
You little...!
I'm sorry! Please don't, please!
Stop! I'm sorry!
Next time, on Kamen Rider OOO...
Dad told me that people who do bad things have to be punished..
Evildoers will be punished...
Would a Yummy ever help someone...?
I've finally obtained a power I can use for justice...
and I'm gonna use this thing's power!
