Eiji then sees a strange man with a puppet on his shoulder and a Cell Medal before following the Takacandroids to the location of the Same Yummy. Eiji becomes Kamen Rider OOO to fight the Yummy, realizing that it is connected to the explosion, before the monster escapes. Learning that the Same Yummy to be one of many Yummy created by Mezool from Ankh, Eiji is troubled when he hears that the Same Yummy and its siblings are feeding on someone's desire to destroy things. Meanwhile, while the other Greeed feast on the Same Yummy, Kazari admits that he is upset that Kamen Rider OOO has his Lion Medal and that someone else is meddling in their affairs. The next day, Eiji learns of another bomb attack and admits to Hina that he is taking the chain of events personally, revealing how he got caught up in civil war and was powerless to save a girl who was killed in an explosion. Though tempted to follow the mysterious man from earlier when he sees him, Eiji is forced to go after a new Same Yummy as he becomes Kamen Rider OOO to fight it. Even after becoming Takatorartar, Kamen Rider OOO is unable to catch the Same Yummy as Mezool and Gamel arrive to intercept.
