As the mad bomber continues his "explosive reign of terror", Mezuru makes her move, while the mysterious observer will finally be revealed and O's finally unleashes his THIRD combo using three of Kazari's MAIN Core medals...
And finally...this arc comes to an abrupt closure...sort of...and this is where we would see if Teiji Moriya is the one who causes the bombings or not...
-x-
At the streets, in which he is standing right outside the Kougami Foundation, Kazari, in his human form, stood there as people passed by him, as if nothing happened, the feline-Greed is at loss as to how O's got hold of the Lion Medal since Ankh didn't originally possessed it since he first met O's during the time he spawned the Neko Yummy, and he slowly suspects that there is someone else besides him, Ankh and O's are after the Core Medals. He couldn't help but feel uneasy and suspicious as to who is behind this and intends to get to the bottom of this.
"This can't be...how could this happened...how did O's got hold of my Lion Medal...?"
As Kazari looks back at the events from before, he recalled the Core medals that O's used, during the time he first fought the Neko Yummy and he is sure that the Core medals he used was the Tora Medals and nothing else, as the flash back scene shows it all.
-FLASHBACK SCENE # 1-
Putting on the O-Belt and scanning them with the O-Scanner, the teen is now ready.
O-Belt: "TAKA…TORA…BATTA! TA-TO-BA…TA-TO-BA TA-TO-BA!"
Now fully armored as O's, he took out the Medajalibur and began to attack the Neko Yummy head on without hesitating now that Yui is out of harm's way and he can now attack without holding back. However, he gets into a problem as the Neko Yummy's fat body only causes his weapons to bounce back.
-END FLASHBACK SCENE-
Then he recalled how he saw O's first used the Lion Medal and hearing Ankh demanding an explanation as how O's got the Core Medal, seeing that Ankh himself is surprised at how it ended up into O's hands since he didn't possessed in the first place.
-FLASHBACK SCENE # 2-
"Kyuji...it's not working...use the Cheetah Medal and use speed to..."
"Thanks...but I got a better idea..."
"Kyuji...what are you...?"
Removing the Taka Medal, O's inserts the Lion Medal and scans it again with the O-Scanner to initiate another transformation.
O-Belt: "LION...KAMAKIRI...BATTA!"
"What the...? How...?"
"Kyuji got a new Core Medal...?"
Much to Ai and Ankh's shock, O's uses the Lion Medal in conjunction with the Tora and Batta Medals to assume another sub-combo of "Ra-Kiri-Ba" and Ankh demanded how O's got hold of Kazari's medal, which he got his answer and the Greed is irritated that there are others who has possessions of the Core Medals.
"Wow..."
"Where did you get that Core Medal? It's from Kazari!"
"Oh...a gift from Kougami..."
"Darn...that guy again...!"
-END FLASHBACK SCENE-
"O's says that someone gave him my Core Medal...if so...I must find out who he is...and how he knows about the medals...and if that's the case...I must use whatever resources I and come across to...and use it to get my Core Medals back..."
As Kazari walked away, he has no idea that the one who gave O's the Lion Medal is just behind him as Kousei Kougami is busy baking a cake to prepare for a very important event.

59: Bakuhatsu, obuzābā, Shaini finisshā part 3
As the day ended, most of those who witnessed the bombings are feeling uneasy about the turn of events that happened, with Kyuji, Ran and Shiho remained clueless about who perpetrated the bombings as well as to whether Teiji Moriya is still in jail or have escaped, but they are confused since there is no report of the former architect-turned criminal bolted out of the prison, and that Heiji and Kogoro are heading for the prison here Moriya is held.
"We're still facing a blank wall..."
"Yeah..."
"I hope Kogoro and Heiji have better luck than we have..."
However, Hiroshi came and called the three and had them assembled at the living room as he showed something to the trio which alarmed them as the inventor showed to them another letter addressed to Shinichi Kudo which the letter says that another bomb is about to go off within 20 minutes which showed them the clues to where they might find the bombs:
- A broad, one-story structure;
- A place where the "young ones" frequented;
- The "time in" and "time out" are around 8 am to 12 nn;
- There are only five adult staff members
As they are pondering on where this lead to, Ankh, still possessing Shinichi Kudo's body, came and saw what is happening and when Ran showed him the letter, he glanced at it at first before brushing it aside, stating that it is irrelevant and has nothing to do with the Yummies and the Core Medals, earning her ire and engaged him in an argument.
"Here, Ankh...take a look...maybe you might..."
"Forget it...I'm not reading."
"But..."
"Unless it involves a Yummy or a Core Medal...I'm staying out of this."
Unwilling to wait and watch the two argue, Kyuji leaves taking the letter with him as he heads outside and checks the map on which possible place the bombs could be found, Ankh went back to his room to browse on the I-Phone to see how many Core Medals he currently have, and so far he is patient enough to wait for the chance to find HIS Core Medals, knowing it is still somewhere within Japan.
"I must find my Core Medals...I can't keep being told what to do by those pesky humans..."
Outside, after a careful browsing, Kyuji and Shiho were able to deduce one particular place within Tokyo where the bomb can be singled out and both boarded the Ride Vendor and moves out, as they have 15 more minutes left before the bomb explodes, with Ran boarding a taxi and tells the driver to follow Kyuji and Ran.
-x-
At a suburban area within East Tokyo, Kyuji and Shiho arrived and glances around as there is so many houses and they reviewed the letter again, seeing that the "clues" stated are still coded, but when Ran joins the two and looked at the letter carefully, she wondered aloud about the clues given until Shiho slowly deduces what the place is and where the bomb is likely to explode.
"Ran...tell me the clues again..."
"Um...it says, "A broad, one-story structure; A place where the "young ones" frequented; The "time in" and "time out" are around 8 am to 12 nn; There are only five adult staff members"
"Shiho...what are you getting at...?"
"Shiho...do you think it's near here?"
"Oh no..."
"What's wrong...?"
"I figured it out...the bomb is near here..and it's a place where children frequented...and they're in danger!"
Kyuji and Ran stared wide-eyed at hearing what Shiho said, as she stated that the clues pointed out to a daycare center and Ran realized that there is one within the area and the trio decided to head there and try to warn the teacher to have the children evacuated, and there she noticed that Kyuji is dead serious in finding the bomb and have it removed, stating that the children do not deserve a violent death.
However as they arrived, Shiho checked her watch and is shocked to find out that they have about 60 seconds and told Kyuji and Ran about it, but as Kyuji is about to get closer to the daycare center, which is indeed one-story and broad in design, the place shows that a teacher and a toddler are about to leave the door to the outside and there the daycare center exploded, and the impact sent Kyuji falling to the ground as Ran and Shiho backed away due to the intensity of the explosion.
"KKKYYYYAAHHH!"
"Blast it!"
As the two girls recovered, they went to Kyuji's side and they saw him in a distraught state while watching the place burning away, which the two re horrified to see the scene in front of them, as they realized that there are other children inside and that they slowly assumed that there are no survivors there. Ran took her cellphone to call for help as Shiho tries a silent Kyuji.
"Kyuji...there's nothing we can do..."
"Damn it..."
-x-
As police arrived, the three teens are silent at seeing the corpses, about five adult teachers and 25 children aged three to five, are being placed on body bags and are charred beyond recognition. Shiho was saddened by this but then she and Ran saw Kyuji glancing at the scene with his fists clenching, and there the two girls approached him and asked why he is so worked up on this.
"Kyuji...you don't have to take it personally..."
"Yes...it's due to a mad bomber..."
"But...I am taking it personally...because that scene is what made me feel miserable since a year ago...in Africa..."
"A year ago...?"
"In Africa...? What do you mean?"
Sighing, Kyuji was forced to admit that the explosion of the daycare center just now made him remind the time he was embroiled in a similar situation, in which he admitted that he was in a foreign country where he temporarily sheltered at a small town somewhere within the African continent, and there he befriended a little girl aged four years old.
Kyuji then went on to tell them that he got embroiled in a civil war and used his funds to help the villagers, but as money ran out, he gave his rations to the villagers, and he became weak from hunger. The climax of that situation came when he tried to help the child he befriended, only to be killed by an RPG blast from a rival tribe, and by then help arrived to apprehend the rival tribes. Both Ran and Shiho are moved by this and they slowly understood why Kyuji is taking the bombings personally.
By then a Batta Candroid was dropped on his palm which came from a Taka Candroid, where Ankh's voice spoke through the small, green-colored mecha.
"Kyuji...I sense a Yummy...and its escaping from where you are standing."
Seeing this, Kyuji leaves at once as he follows the Taka Candroid as it leads him to where the Same Yummy is located, leaving the two girls behind.
-x-
At the road, about 10 minutes later, Kyuji found the Same Yummy fleeing from the scene and there he followed it, which a chase is made and the chase led them to a pond under a bridge where Kyuji inserted three of the Core Medals onto the O-Belt and scans them with the O-Scanner, which initiated his transformation.
O-Belt: "TAKA...TORA..BATTA! TA-TO-BA...TA-TO-BA TA-TO-BA!"
Now transformed as O's he went after the Same Yummy and uses the Tora Claws to rake and wound the Yummy but is having difficulty in slowing it down due to the Yummy's speed, and this puts him in a problem until Ankh arrives on the Ride Vendor and berated O's for being too "sloppy", much to O's chagrin.
"What are you doing? You're getting too soft!"
"Look who's talking...I only have three Core Medals armed..."
"Then use this...!"
Ankh threw the Cheetah Medal at O's, who promptly replaces it after removing the Batta Medal, then scans it with the O-Scanner, assuming the sub-combo of "Ta-Tora-Tah" to get an advantage.
O-Belt: "TAKA...TORA...CHEETAH!"
Using the Cheetah Medals' speed power, O's is able to catch and slowly weaken the Yummy and the tide is starting to shift in his favor, but then trouble arrives as Mezeru uses her hydraulic powers to send O's reeling back and to make matters worse, Gameru is with her and the two Greeds join the Same Yummy to dispose of O's.
"Hello, O's...like my Yummy?"
"Yeah...that's Mezeru's Yummy!"
"Just great...!"
With a three-against-one handicap, O's is starting to lose his momentum and Ankh realizes that things would go bad and decided to retreat for now as he detached himself from Shinichi Kudo's body and approached O's, telling him that they should retreat.
"Kyuji...we better retreat for now...you'll get beaten and lose the Core Medals..."
"I can't!"
"You're no match for them! You're outnumbered!"
"Then I'll use this!"
Ankh's right forearm form clenches as O's took out the Lion medal and realizes what he is about to do and tries to talk him out of it, but failed.
"You can't! Combos are dangerous!"
"But we don't have any options right now!"
"Grr...don't blame me if you get screwed up...!"
As Ankh backs away, O's removes the Taka Medal and prepares to put on the Lion Medal onto the O-Belt with the two Greed watching on.
"Okay..."
"Look...Kazari's Core Medal!"
Taking out the O-Scanner, O's is getting ready to scan the three Core Medals of Kazari with Mezeru getting apprehensive, seeing that a human is risking his life to assume another main combo form similar to Uva's.
"Is he seriously going to do that despite Ankh's warning?"
O's scans the Core medals and there another transformation took place and that's when the three yellow Core medals resonates, much like what he did when he scans the Kuwagata, Kamakiri and Batta Medals.
O-Belt: "LION...TORA...CHEETAH! RATA-RATA...RA-TORA-TAH!"
While O's armor remained black, he now sports yellow accents which the crest on his chest armor has the face of a cat, and while the torso and lower part of his armored body is the same, his helmet now sports a different form, which his helmet now resembled an armored lion's head, and now he began to emanate a blinding, and scorching aura which struck the three enemies, with Mezeru taking the brunt of the impact.
"AAAAIIIIEEEEE!"
As Mezeru fell to the ground, three of her Core Medals were thrown out, losing several portions of her lower body armor, while Ankh withstood the Ra-Tora-Tah combo's power and grabbed the three medals, which are blue colored and went back to a safe place, pleased with the outcome of the event.
"Heh...I guess Kyuji's risks are worth it...and I got myself some new collection...!"
"Mezeru...are you pain?"
"Gameru...get us out of here! Hurry!"
"Coming!"
In pain, Mezeru urges Gameru that they escape, and the heavy animal-Greed punched a hole underneath them and made a tunnel which they both went into and escaped, leaving a dazed Same Yummy behind and there O's uses the O-Scanner to scan the three Core Medals again to initiate its finishing attack.
O-Belt: "SCANNING CHARGE!"
O's then went on to finish off the Same Yummy as he charged towards the monster, the three Core Medals' power is evoked and there it projects three yellow rings in front of him before charging through them with the Cheetah Medal's speed before delivering a cross slash on the target with the Tora Claws infused with the Lion Medal's blinding, but scorching energy projection. This move is called the Shining Slash Strike, and this ended the Same Yummy's rampage, destroying it and leaving about 100 Cell Medals in its remains.
Ankh then surveys his "catch" and is pleased to see that he has three more Core Medals, each one of them having an emblem of a marine animal, added to his collection:
- Shumokuzame
- Mofu
- Ika
However, he saw Kyuji slumped to the ground due to the strain of the combo he underwent and there he took the three yellow Core Medals after berating Kyuji for his reckless actions, but then both saw the mysterious observer watching and Kyuji told the Greed that he must be the Yummy's host.
"That's why I told you not to use combos recklessly! But because we got new medals...I'll let you off this time..."
"Ankh...that guy...I saw him during the blasts!"
"So...?"
"He was there during the first few blasts! And now he's here..."
"So what about it?"
"I bet he's the Yummy's host!"
"No...he is not...I can sense it...he is not the Yummy's host."
"Indeed...I am not hosting the shark-like Yummy...but I thank you for showing me the yellow Core Medals' combo power...now I know what its powers are like besides the green Core Medals' power..."
Ankh tells Kyuji that the man is not the Yummy's host and the man spoke, confirming Ankh's words and thanks them for showing him the yellow Core Medals' powers, and is about to leave when Ankh asks him a question, but is taken aback by the man's response.
"Wait...you seem to know about us..."
"Indeed I do..."
"Then who are you...?"
"In due time...when the world comes to an end..."
"Huh?"
-x-
The scene shifts to another place in Tokyo, about 20 minutes later, where the place is revealed as the Kougami Biotech Laboratories, where the man who is observing the bombings and O's fight with the Same Yummy, is finally revealed as Kousei Kougami appeared via a monitor screen, congratulates the man for his "pioneering efforts" for the Kougami Foundation as well as celebrating the Kougami Biotech Laboratories ' 10th anniversary.
"Happy birthday...to the 10th anniversary of the Kougami Biotech Laboratories! And congratulations for being the head of the place...Dr. Maki!"
The man is revealed to be Kiyoto Maki, and it turns out that he is one of the Kougami Foundation's top scientists who is among those who help in creating the various medal-inspired weapons and is revealed to be the head of the place, and yet Maki appeared to be stoic in his reaction while his white, hand-sized puppet remained seated on his left forearm as he listens on Kougami's praises and congratulations.
