These three things happened previously on Kamen Rider OOO...
Firstly, a Yummy is born from the desire of a retired boxer, Okamura Kazuki.
Secondly, the Yummy was of Ankh's genus - the bird species of Yummy.
And thirdly, Ankh protects the Yummy from Os and Birth, and goes into hiding!
Ankh!
Ow!
Eiji!
Date, couldn't you be a bit gentler with tha—
Hold still, alright?
Eiji...
Is this okay? I got everything you asked for.
Yeah, this'll work. Thank you.
Hino, I hope you understand now.
Ankh is just like the other Greed.
All he cares about is gathering Medals.
Did Ankh do something?
He made his own Yummy, and got in our way when we tried to defeat it.
That's how Hino got injured so badly.
No... he did get in our way, but he didn't make that Yummy.
Are you still—
He's not like the other Greed.
He hasn't regenerated in the same way...
...and he can't make his own Yummies.
If that wasn't his Yummy, then why did he protect it from us?!
If a bird Yummy's shown up, that means someone has one of his Core Medals.
He's probably trying to find out who...
That's still no excuse for protecting that Yummy!
There's been more casualties because of it!
Yeah, you're definitely ri—
Quit squirming!
We don't know where it took Mr. Okamura...
But it seems like the Yummy is trying to heal his injury.
That's what the first victim told us...
You will fight in the ring again...
I think one wasn't enough...
so he'll probably attack more boxers...
...and take their strength back to Mr. Okamura!
Like a bird bringing food back to the nest...
And if it's a bird...
So that Yummy... it's a chicken!?
It was obviously a parrot.
...Oh yeah.
Your hand should be back to normal now,
so why do you not take up your gloves?
Then you can stand tall in the ring, as a boxer once more!
Because I know how much it hurts to not be able to...
How could I put other people through that pain?!
How many people did it take!?
Remember how good it felt to be in the ring...
It's the only place where you can feel truly alive...
When boxers like us leave the ring behind, we get even more torn up.
It's your greatest, and only desire!
You count the medals one, two, and three!
Life goes on! Anything goes! Coming up OOO!

Episode 26
Ankh, the Ring, and Fully-Loaded
Stay in bed.
Brotou and I will find the Yummy.
I'll come too!
I'm fine, really—
Eiji!
Show yourself a little consideration.
Plus, you're exhausted, so no exerting yourself for the rest of the day.
Doctor's orders, got it?
We're heading out, Hina.
Eiji always ends up like this...
I think he's punch-drunk. Sometimes your hands shake, or you'll just fall over like that.
Date, just one thing...
It's about Eiji...
After he transforms, he keeps falling over like that...
Do you think it's affecting his body?
The whole Os thing puts it out of my field of expertise...
You'd know more than me, Brotou.
No.
Nothing in particular...
But it does seem using a Combo wears him out quite quickly.
I guess it must...
I was just in this for the money, so I didn't want to get too involved, but...
Easier said than done, I guess.
I'd managed to get close to the President and Professor Maki, but I was so wrapped up getting a chance to fight...
I never really looked into anything...
I'll return to the Kougami Foundation.
You're gonna have to plead for forgiveness, y'know.
I'll beg them, if that's what it takes.
Okay. But first, let's deal with the chicken Yummy.
It's a parrot.
A bird Yummy, you say...?
If Ankh was not responsible for its creation... then I assume it is your other comrade at work.
Uva?
He doesn't have the guts to use anyone else's Cores.
It's not him.
Well, whatever.
I'll keep an eye on things.
I'll be busy for the foreseeable future, so I shall leave it to you.
Are things getting interesting for you now, Ankh?
She looks just like her...
It's as if she's come back from the dead...
See! I got you!
Kiyoto, you get caught so easily!
Sister!
Should be any time now...
It's as good as it ever was...
I should be able to fight... against him!
I've always looked up to you, and I don't think I can call myself champion unless I can defend the title from you...
He still admired me, even though I was heading for the scrapheap...
I dreamed of a shot at the title...
Even if it's for one round...
Takeda's really ticked off...
Well, his title defense got canceled out when Okamura retired...
Come with me. The man you were meant to fight is waiting.
I figured you'd be here!
Thought he'd need someone to fight once he was healed!
Brotou!
Right!
Get outside! Quickly!
Alright...
Hot, hot, hot!
This guy's attacks are a real pain in the neck...
CATERPILLAR LEG
DRILL ARM
Wait!
Man, watch where you're going!
If Okamura's waiting for me...
Take me to him! Please!
Wait... do you realize what you're saying?!
Come along.
No way...
Even if it's just one round... I wanna get in the ring again!
President...
There weren't any birthday celebrations scheduled for today...
A birth can be a very sudden thing...
Miss Satonaka...
It's a surprise!!!
Chiyoko, have you seen Eiji?
I thought he was ill and lying in bed?
Yes, but when I checked on him, he was gone!
Where the heck did he take him...?
We even checked the place where they were supposed to fight...
It should be some place that has a boxing ring.
Date!
Dude...
Ignoring your physician's advice?
You can barely stand—
I asked the people from his gym... there's a place that he trained, prior to his debut.
They said it has a lot of sentimental value to him...
The ring he used before going pro, huh?
Perfect place for an elusive title match to happen.
But we have to stop them!
Mr. Okamura really is punch-drunk!
Even if the Yummy healed his arm, if he fights like that...
Yeah... his symptoms could get worse, and he might never recover.
Give it up!
We can handle it, so you've gotta back off for now.
No, thanks.
I'm pretty sure I'd feel even worse if I backed off...
Hino!
Come on! Sheesh... what if Anko gets in the way again?
Brotou's got a good point... he is one of the Greed.
You gonna be ready if you have to fight him?
I've been ready for that since the beginning...
And if I think you've become worthless, I'll get rid of you.
And I'll use the first chance I get to save Hina's brother.
Even if it means beating you.
But, I don't think it's time for that yet.
Let's hurry!
That's a messed up relationship they've got.
Brotou! We need motorcycles!
Now, where to find one...?
It's just like you said. I can't survive outside of the ring.
It's the same for any boxer.
Now fight! As your desire dictates!
Consider this your starting bell...
How long did you intend to spy on me?
I guess you're sharper than I thought...
I was hoping to track you back to where you came from once you had enough Cell Medals...
Are you sure you don't know already...?
Besides, I'm not just taking Cell Medals back. I'm taking the Cores you have, as well.
Ankh!
Looks like you're not gonna be able to use him to find your Medals.
You...
I told you, I have a pretty good idea of what you're up to.
Plus, if you seriously wanted me out of the picture, you wouldn't have left these with me...
These Medals...
It was insurance, right?
So that I would keep the Medals safe, and save you if I needed to...
I guess it pays to have good help, even if he is an idiot...
You've been making me work too much!
Eiji!
Transform!
HAWK TIGER GRASSHOPPER
TaToBa TaToBa TaToBa
Mr. Okamura...
You've got to stop!
Don't get in the way!
I'm gonna finish this fight, even if it kills me!
It might actually kill you!
You do realize what's going on with your body, right?
Yeah, well, leaving the ring would feel even worse!
Seriously, you need to stop—
Hino...
Dammit, these guys...
The way that people value stuff more than their lives can be a real pain sometimes...
Let's roll out, Brotou.
There's another punch-drunk we need to save!
Please, get out of here!
It can't end yet...
Yeah!
Eiji! Quit dragging your ass!
Well thanks to someone I'm kind of busted up...
Quit making excuses!
Hino! Hang in there!
I warned him!
Transform.
Okay...
CRANE ARM
Whoops!
Gotcha!
Ankh! I need a Combo that'll be strong against fire...
You won't last long in your condition!
I know...
You're not getting away this time!
Date!
We need to finish this quickly...
Can you distract him?
You make it sound so easy...
Alright, time to break out the big guns.
Date!
CRANE ARM
CATERPILLAR LEG
CUTTER WING

Now's my chance!

SCANNING CHARGE
Looks like the magic's worn off...
But... I'm gonna get up again.
Go through rehab... and with my own hands again!
If I'm gonna die, it's gonna be in a boxing ring!
I'll make sure I keep the title until then...
You alright?
Sheesh...
Hey Anko, look after Hino, okay?
I apologize for suspecting you made that Yummy.
Seeya.
Ankh...
So, someone else can make bird Yummies...
And that's why you're different than the other Greed...
I'm only after one thing...
A complete resurrection...
No, a body even better than the old one.
I'm going to need Os until then.
Happy birthday dear...
Splendid!!!
