These three things happened previously on Kamen Rider OOO...
First, after failing the bar exam yet again, Kanbayashi's heartfelt desire for justice gives birth to a Yummy.
Secondly, the Grasshopper Yummy comes to peoples' aide.
And thirdly, as Os prepares to strike his final blow on the Yummy, Kanbayashi stands in his way!
Mr. Kanbayashi!
I can't let you kill him!
Why!?
I finally have power I can use for justice!
I'm gonna use this thing's power!
Power!?
I'm going to use it's power to make this rotten world better! Even if it's just by a little!
Dad, you can do it!
You can do it!
Takashi...
Dad! You can do it!
Takashi...
Hey, wait!
Takashi, let's go.
Okay!
Please, stay out of our way.
Come on.
Okay!
What the hell!?
What's this about? You need something, fool!?
Bad guys have to pay.
They have to pay!
What the hell are you babbling about, dumbass!?
Ow! What the hell is that thing!?
Dad's the one who said bad people have to pay!
I'm not wrong, am I?
Are you like him then!? You don't mind bad people!?
Of course I mind them!
You count the medals one, two, and three!
Life goes on! Anything goes! Coming up OOO!

Episode 22
Chocolate, Conviction, and the Power of Justice
Providing an extra weapon is simple but,
I'm more concerned about the idea of you giving it to someone else.
Hey, I'm not giving it to just anybody.
It's for Brotou.
He might be a little naive with all that justice stuff, but I really like him, y'know?
Justice, you say...?
I wonder, from the perspective of the Greed, who can truly be called just in this conflict?
What's up with this painting?
It's a vision of the coming conclusion.
Conclusion, huh?
I gotta tell you, I think I prefer beginnings to endings.
Birth... and what it means. It's a pretty good name, if you ask me.
Hey Doc, maybe the reason you're so moody is because you stare at this painting all day.
I've got it! Let's take this thing down.
Alright, here we go.
I'll help you!
Stop that immediately!
We'll just move this somewhere else, and...
Stop it.
Stop it! Don't!
You were amazing, Dad.
I guess so.
That was pretty impressive.
You're that guy from before...
Unleash that desire.
Thank you so much! Because of you, I finally have the power to keep bad guys in check.
You don't need to thank me.
The way your dad beat up those bad guys was pretty cool, huh?
Dad, he said you're cool!
I'm glad.
It's time to go after bigger bad guys...
Alright. Leave it to me.
Next... is this guy.
That's right... keep it up.
I heard this from another one of my college friends,
apparently, Kanbayashi left his home.
Why would he do that?
It looks like he failed the bar exam a couple of times...
He felt the need to put more pressure on himself,
so he left his wife and Takashi at home.
So that's what happened...
Oh, Hina, could you give me a hand?
Okay.
Hino.
What's up?
This Yummy attacks people who are doing wrong, right?
Do you really think it needs to be destroyed?
If we don't beat it, we don't get any Medals.
We have to beat it.
Why?
I've seen it a lot...
When people think they're fighting for someone else's sake,
or fighting for what they feel is right, they can get out of control really quickly.
When it's in the name of "justice", there's no limit to how cruel people will act.
In the name of justice...?
Let's look for Mr. Kanbayashi before he does something he'll regret.
Sir, could you take this money and, in exchange, maybe see things from our company's perspective?
Now listen here, I'm a politician.
Do you really think I can be bribed?
Yes, I certainly do.
Who are you people!?
Bad guys must be punished.
What is that monster!?
Sir! Sir, this way!
Looks like you're getting the hang of it.
Date...
Date, what are you... fighting for?
For this.
A hundred million yen...
What are you going to spend it on?
That's a secret!
How about you, Brotou, what are you fighting for?
Have a little faith in yourself!
If you lose your way, someone will help you find it again.
So believe in yourself, and do what you think needs to be done.
The Yummy!
Let's go!
The Yummy's popped up!
Time for some on-the-job training.
You can do it!
P-please... help me!
You're the ones who were doing something wrong!
I swear... I'll never do it again!
H... help! Help me...
But...
Eiji!
Catch!
Transform!
STAG-BEETLE TIGER GRASSHOPPER
I asked you to stay out of this!
Help me! Help...!
Mr. Kanbayashi, is this your idea of justice!?
Is that what you wanted to accomplish!?
Take Takashi and get him away from here!
Sir...
Takashi! Let's go.
Why?
Come on!
Where do you think you're going?
Dad!
Takashi!
Leave him out of this!
Hold it right there, Os.
Hand over your Core Medals.
You do that, and I'll let this kid go.
Hang on Eiji! Don't do anything stupid!
It's a deal.
Hey!
On the count of three.
Fine.
One... two... three!
What are you doing, Eiji!?
You okay?
Look out!
Takashi! Are you okay?
Yeah!
Dammit, Eiji...
Found it!
I really appreciate how poorly you two get along.
That's enough! I don't want to see anyone else hurt!
At what point did you get the impression I took orders from you?
Leave Mr. Kanbayashi alone!
Without the power of Os, you're just a human.
Now what?
Need some help?
Please!
Transform.
Brotou!
I know!
Let's go.
Wait!
You bastard!
I swear, I'll get them back!
What's more important to you, some stupid kid or Core Medals!?
His life!
Yeah, well to me, Core Medals are life!
You got that!?
...Now where'd he go!?
Are you alright?
I'm sorry.
Do you think Takashi is okay?
Gotou is with him, he'll be fine.
Mr. Kanbayashi...
Y'know, I just keep disgusting myself.
Well, I think that judging things like who's wrong and right is harder than most people think.
Sometimes, when people think they're in the right, they'll lose sight of everything else
and start thinking that anything they do is justified.
That's probably how wars get started.
Wars?
But that doesn't mean that you can let people get away with doing wrong things either.
I think you just have to focus on what's going on around you.
So that you can protect a little bit of happiness.
A little bit...?
You can't do anything more than what you can do, right?
It's so complicated...
Well you still have to try!
So that the people around you can be happy!
I'm sure even bad guys would understand your reasoning.
Hey, why did you look at me when you said that?
Mr. Kanbayashi, I know you can do it!
Come on!
I'm heading out!
Tsk... I guess I could use the same desire twice.
Oh no you don't!
Nobody's following...
Are you okay?
Does it hurt anywhere?
Mister...
Was I wrong after all?
Saving the world.
That's what I think about all the time.
You do?
Yeah.
But I don't have enough power to do that myself...
It might be impossible.
But I have faith in my desire to do it.
I believe in myself.
Believe in yourself...?
That's right. Believe in yourself!
Why did you want to do the right thing?
Why?
I wanted to do the right thing because...
Time to make use of your desire.
Stop it!
You want to be a hero, right?
Mister!
Now, unleash your desire.
Takashi! Why did you want to do something good in the first place!? Answer me!
I...
I just wanted my Dad to come home!
I guess his desire is too insignificant to spawn a Yummy...
Takashi!
Took you long enough!
Sorry!
Ankh, Medals!
I don't care if you die, get the ones you lost back!
Hey! How am I supposed to transform with just two!?
That's all you get.
That's it!?
Come on!
Let me use another one of yours!
You had better not lose this one.
Transform!
HAWK TIGER CONDOR
Takashi!
Mr. Kanbayashi!
I'm going to start protecting my own happiness!
Takashi.
CRANE ARM
DRILL ARM
Your attacks are meaningless against me.
I kinda figured.
How are you...!?
See? Even if they're Cell Medals, if I tear enough from you, it's bound to hurt a little.
Hey Anko! Now's your chance!
The name's Ankh!
See what I mean?
My Core Medals... impossible!
What does Eiji think he's doing?
Eiji! Hurry up and finish him off!
HAWK PEACOCK CONDOR
TaJaDor
HAWK PEACOCK CONDOR
GIGA SCAN
CRANE ARM
Crazy... hup!
Wait! Those are mine!
Hold it you...!
Didn't I help you get those Core Medals!?
That has nothing to do with this!
See, check it out, Anko?
It's not Anko! Not Anko!
And here are our special chocolates!
Thank you so much.
Thank you!
Thank you! Awesome...
How does this outfit fit the international theme?
Hello there.
Welcome!
Mr. Kanbayashi! Welcome.
Dad says he's coming home!
I'm glad.
I've decided to be a defense attorney. So that I can help people protect their happiness.
Thank you so much!
That's more like it, Kanbayashi!
Let's celebrate your new direction...
With a present!
Thank you.
Here, Takashi.
Thanks you!
Here, for you, Gotou.
Thank you.
Look! He's embarrassed!
Here's yours, Eiji.
Wow, thanks! Awesome!
Hey Ankh, check it out!
Are you jealous?
Chocolate ice cream is more my speed.
Hina!
Next time on Kamen Rider OOO...
That reminds me... what kind of work did you do overseas, Date?
Date?
It's been a while!
You're an evolutionary dead-end. There's no way you can beat me.
I can be... beautiful!
