These three things happened last time, on Kamen Rider OOO...
First, Hina's older brother, Izumi Shingo, is now free of Ankh.
Second, to prevent the siblings from being caught in further battles, Eiji leaves Cous Coussier.
And third, Dr. Maki appears before Eiji on his way to rescue Ankh.
I've come to take those Medals within you.
I'd love to hand them over, but...
There's that whole "end of the world" thing that you mentioned.
Resistance is futile.
You... damn you!
You're done for, Birth.
It's over.
Sorry, but I'm afraid you're done for.
Really? And how exactly are you going to do that?
Well, it's about time my supervisor showed up.
What?
Good morning.
Satonaka!
Roger.
CELL BURST
Here's what I meant.
He got away!
Mr. Hino.
Do you intend to continue acting as if nothing's wrong?
Your body is turning into that of a Greed.
You count the medals one, two, and three!
Life goes on! Anything goes! Coming up OOO!

Episode 42
Ice, Becoming a Greed, and the Broken Wings
Listen closely, Mr. Hino.
Greed are, as their name implies, desire given shape...
but in another sense, they are nothing more than desire.
They simply crave more and more, and regardless of whether or not they obtain their desires,
they never experience the joy of satisfaction.
Dr. Maki...?
Hino looks like he's in trouble.
What do you mean?
Consider the means by which you are able to recognize satisfaction.
Sight, sound, smell, taste, and touch.
The five human senses.
Through the eyes of a Greed, the world's colors are dulled.
Sounds are distorted.
I'm certain you should be beginning to feel these effects.
Or rather... you should be starting to lose feeling.
That is why the Greed are so avaricious, and nothing more.
Upon gathering their Core Medals, and being completely restored,
they will seek to consume everything that humans take for granted.
Including humans themselves...
Consume people...?
And if things continue to run unchecked from there,
the world itself will be consumed.
The inhuman despair caused by such infinite desire will, in the end,
leave no trace of the world in its wake... a truly beautiful ending.
In that case... I definitely can't let you have these Medals.
But if you simply hand them over,
you will be able to experience the full beauty of the world prior to its conclusion.
Without having this happen...
Hino!
Grab on!
I see...
Dr. Maki's so far gone.
He appeared to be further along in his transformation than Hino.
It's the difference between someone who accepted the Medals versus someone who resists them...
Or so I'd assume.
After all, there's no precedent.
Not of a human becoming a Greed...
Perhaps the Os that lost control eight hundred years ago faced a similar dilemma...
He wasn't a suitable vessel for Os, and became a Greed...!
Eiji's going to become... a Greed?
It can't be...
From what Dr. Maki said, it wouldn't be surprising if he already had symptoms.
Wait, the other night...
Hina, wasn't Eiji strange during dinner the other night?
Eiji... you don't like it?
Food... his sense of taste!
No... he couldn't taste it?
But he still...
It's super good!
You're a good cook, on top of everything else?
Eiji...
No.
We can't let that happen.
We have to stop him.
Make sure he doesn't fight anymore.
It kinda tastes like chewed-up gum...
I can tell how cold and refreshing these are.
I see... when he was using the detective's body, he could finally understand what things tasted like.
Maybe I should have let him eat more...
You could've said something!
I guess you wouldn't, though...
I better eat.
Hot!
I can at least tell it's hot...
Good!
Mezool, it's so good!
You can have this.
Oh, thank you.
Good!
That's great, Gamel.
You can eat as much as you want...
He doesn't even realize what he's doing...
Are you going to get your Medals?
Maki's going to draw Os out with his Yummy.
Maybe I should take the purple Medals while I'm at it...
Do as I told you.
Os will show up.
Right.
It's frozen!
I'm frozen!
We're frozen!
Help!
Eiji!
Eiji, you can't go. If you keep fighting, you'll...
There's a Yummy. And Ankh's there too...
But...
Gotou can handle it. Eiji, you need to think about your condition.
It's okay.
I can—
It's not okay!
Eiji, you've already lost your sense of taste! You're going to turn even further into a Greed...
That's too much!
Help...
Stay away! Stay away—
If you want help, then call for Os.
Os!?
Transform!
Now cry out!
What's an Os!?
Shut up!
What's the hold up!? Scream!
Help... help us, Os!
Os!
Help us!
Os!
Help us, Os!
Os, save us!
That's right... louder!
I have to go...
Hina...
Don't worry. It'll be okay.
How? How can you smile?
Do you realize what's happening?
Os! Os! Os!
Stop it...
Stop calling out for him...
Eiji is not a god!
Os! Os! Os!
Please stop...
Stop!
Stop it!
Os! Os! Os!
Hina...
I'm sorry.
But...
Thank you.
Eiji!
LION TIGER CHEETAH

Os! Os! Os!
Os! Os!
Get out of here!
Hurry, run!
Run!
Hino!
Are you okay!?
Eri!
Over there!
Come here!
Took you long enough...
I can't sense Ankh...
Yup. He was pretty persistent but...
He's gone.
There's one that bothers me...
Tell me, does ice cream taste good?
I dunno.
But one thing I can say for sure...
There's no way he'd go down that easily.
Then try beating me, and finding out...
But first... give me my Medal back!
No... it's not your Medal.
It's his!
PTERANODON TRICERATOPS TYRANNOSAURUS

Eiji...
In the end, he ends up fighting just like we need him to...
Why!? I never wanted him to fight!
But Hina, didn't you want to save Ankh?
And you wanted to save me, too...
But Eiji never wanted to fight.
It's the same with me, and with those people from before...
We all have our selfish wishes, and he quietly accepts it all...
If he can do that, maybe that's why he's...
Os!
BREAST CANNON
CELL BURST
Breast Cannon, fire!
You...!
Hino!
Don't lose control!
Eiji!
Hang in there!
Aren't you the one who reaches out to him?
You can't let him turn into some kind of god that people come crying to when it's convenient!
No...!
My Cores...
My...!
Eiji.
Eiji!
It's okay.
It's okay, relax...
Where's Ankh...?
Ankh!
Eiji... you've earned my thanks on this one.
You got rid of the irritating impostor, after all...
Ankh?
And, now...
Ankh!
Next time, on Kamen Rider OOO...
Get away from Shingo!
I told you, I still need this body...
Os was originally the natural enemy of the Greed, after all.
It's been a while...
I'm saying you should make me into the vessel for those Medals.
