Previously, on Kamen Rider OOO...
Through the influence of the purple Medals, Hino Eiji is gradually losing his humanity and becoming a Greed.
Meanwhile, with the destruction of Lost Ankh's Core Medals,
Ankh appears once again before Eiji and the others.
My Cores...
Eiji... you've earned my thanks on this one.
You got rid of the irritating impostor, after all...
Ankh?
And, now...
Ankh!
Shingo!
I guess I can't even last this long...
I'm grateful the impostor's gone, but my Cores...!
I would've never guessed those purple ones had that kind of power.
Either way, I need you still.
So stay quiet for a bit.
Don't!
Shingo...
Hina...
Don't worry about me... I'll be fine.
You... Just do what you...
Even with missing Cores, getting rid of the impostor makes a big difference...
Now my power is as strong as it was eight hundred years ago.
Ankh! Think about how Hina feels!
And do you realize how much Hino risked to save you!?
That's completely unrelated.
Or are you saying I should float around as a severed arm, out of gratitude?
Don't make me laugh.
Hand over the rest. They're mine.
First, get away from Shingo.
I told you... I need this body still.
Now, the Medals...
Ankh!
You don't get to do something this cruel.
Get away from Shingo!
Give him back to Hina.
Enough! Give me back the Medals!
This power...
Give Shingo back, or I'll smash all your Cores.
Eiji! Just try it.
Shingo...
Hino, don't! Calm down!
Hino!
Eiji!
I finally get rid of that impostor...
But with three of my Cores gone... I can never be fully restored...
I'm not giving up.
There's still a chance...
I've got my six Cores left...
And there's...
No way...
It's worth a try.
You count the medals one, two, and three!
Life goes on! Anything goes! Coming up OOO!

Episode 43
A Vulture, a Confrontation, and Ankh's Return
Is that what happened?
I tried to make your favorite...
Shingo...
Ankh... why?
She said she was fine, but it's obvious she's depressed...
She had just gotten her brother back, and now...
I'm sure that's the biggest thing, but the fact that Ankh did it doesn't help...
Yeah...
You've all been together for so long, after all.
I can kind of understand why he'd fixate on Shingo.
All he's ever wanted was his own body...
And he'll never be able to gather all nine of his Medals now.
But that doesn't excuse what he did.
Right.
That's why I'll...
A Yummy!
A bird Yummy!?
Then Ankh's...
I guess he can make them, now.
Satonaka!
You're early today.
I was trying on my new wardrobe.
Well, that's about what I figured.
Oh yeah, he took Hawk...
Transform!
LION TIGER GRASSHOPPER
Hurry, get out of here!
Alright!
Ankh... I thought we'd gotten a little closer.
But if this keeps up, my brother will...
And I'm sure Eiji and Ankh will fight... that can't...
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...
I...
I'm being selfish again.
I'm letting Eiji suffer for my sake...
You... Just do what you...
I have to do something.
SHOVEL ARM
That driver must be the Yummy's host...
But a bird Yummy confines its host, so it can't be.
But what if that truck is the nest...?
I see...
You're almost a Greed...
Or maybe I should say the transformation's mostly complete?
You want those purple Medals Eiji has, right?
Yes. I must acquire as much strength as possible.
For what?
Once one of the berserk Greed has consumed the world, I will dispose of that Greed.
Sounds like you've got a plan...
And then? You don't mind being the only one left?
If the only remaining presence is a void, the sublime finality will not be tainted.
I'll help you out...
And what exactly are you proposing?
I'm saying you should make me into the vessel for those Medals.
I see...
Ankh did all that?
He's splitting up with Hino.
I suspected this would happen...
Os was originally the natural enemy of the Greed, after all.
If Ankh could just leave Detective Izumi's body...
I don't think that'll happen.
When a Greed becomes complete, they start to consume desire, right?
Like, eating humans, whole...
In the end, they're the enemy.
No, if we can destroy some of the Core Medals, they'll never be fully revived.
The purple Medals Hino has can do that.
That mustn't happen!
The Core Medals are necessary...
They must not be destroyed.
But the casualties!
You will ensure that there are none.
Your job is essentially to save the world...
However...
The purple Medals must be destroyed at any cost.
Their consummate destructive abilities can even reduce desire to nothingness...
And above all else!
Any Greed wielding that power is the worst imaginable.
The worst Greed of them all!
The natural enemy of all creation!
If Ankh doesn't come back...
Oh, what a waste!
Hot!
Hina...
I made some dinner.
They're just some fried eggs, but I messed up a little, so they might be too sweet.
I made the rice balls with a little bit of mentaiko...
And some diced dried tuna.
Hina...
Eiji, I...
I'm not going to say anything about Shingo and Ankh.
I'm not making any requests.
I'm just going to do what I can.
Hina...!
And right now, I think that means staying with you, no matter what.
I might not be able to help in a fight, but I'm sure I can do something.
I'm not sure I should agree, but... I don't feel like saying no.
In that case...
Oh, it's burning up!
Oh, no!
Are you okay!?
Be careful!
Aw, what a waste...
Need... a lot of Medals.
Just a little more...
Masaya!
Gotou!
We'll get that Yummy this time.
Yeah.
Transform!
ORCA GORILLA OCTOPUS
CATERPILLAR LEG
CRANE ARM
I guess it pays to be prepared!
Hino, let's finish it!
SCANNING CHARGE
Ankh!
Thanks Eiji. You were right on target.
I'll be taking these Cell Medals.
Wait!
Hino, use a bike!
Thanks!
Ankh! What are you trying to do!?
There's only one reason a Greed would want Medals for, right?
But your Cores are...!
Yeah, thanks to a certain someone!
But that's not enough for me to give up.
This has been my desire for over eight hundred years!
But... don't drag innocent people into it!
Eiji... I've had enough of your lectures.
Ankh...!
Hino!
Are you okay?
Hino!?
Now, then... the nuisance is gone.
I have to say, you've really hung in there.
Making it this far, with only one Medal...
I'm not letting it end like this...
Come on, come on...
Oh, thanks.
You okay?
Yeah, I'm fine.
I'm gonna close the door.
Dammit, everybody looks so happy...
Dammit...
I wish I was the only man around!
Hear... me.
Hear me.
Hear me!
This is all because of me.
You better show your appreciation, Uva.
This was all on me!
Eiji!
This is horrible...
Did... Ankh do this?
We better get you looked at...
Ankh... have you really...?
No way.
Why?
Ankh and Uva.
It's been a while.
What's wrong? No welcome for your old friends?
Next time, on Kamen Rider OOO...
If you want to stay in one piece, then cooperate.
Do you know anything about what's happening to Eiji?
I personally have a stake in avoiding Hino Eiji's transformation into a Greed.
He's fully restored...!
I think I'll take the rest of those Medals, too...
