By now you figured out who is behind the series of explosions, but things worsened as the Greed takes advantage as one of them spawns a marine-based Yummy, while a mysterious onlooker who suspiciously observes the aftermath of the explosions causes Kyuji and Ankh to suspect him to be the bomber...

Shiho then told them about the letter regarding the row of four circles, in which they are pertaining to vehicles and Kogoro realized that there are several parked cars near their current spot and went to a nearby parking lot where several cars are parked, which Kyuji wondered where the bomb is planted given the sheer volume of vehicles are there and how many bombs are planted.

By then a chain of explosions took place as the cars exploded one by one and fortunately the five of them are far from the explosion but this is enough to cause for alarm and decided to act o this incident immediately. He and Heiji called the MPD for assistance as Kyuji watches the flaming inferno, where he saw a man in a business-attire, wearing glasses and is carrying a hand-sized white puppet by his left forearm, walking near the explosion site, watching the scene as if it were nothing, and is not minding the witnesses behind him.

As the smoke slightly clears up, Kyuji stares at the scene of inferno as he clenches his fists upon the sight before him as he felt that he has seen this particular scenario before and he gritted his teeth upon a particular memory briefly flashed in his mind before shaking his head off to focus on what's in front of him and there he and Shiho saw the mysterious observer watching the burning wreckage where they slowly suspected something from him.

58: Bakuhatsu, obuzābā, Shaini finisshā part 2

While awaiting for reinforcements to arrive, Kogoro and Heiji are too focused on watching the blaze to notice the man standing near the flaming vehicles as they are looking around for possible survivors since the place is a parking lot, hence there's a possibility that there are people there who are about to board their cars.

Meanwhile, Kyuji and Shiho notices the man and are wondering if he is a survivor or perhaps the one who bombed the cars yet Shiho quickly decided that he may be Moriya's accomplice since Moriya is still in jail, but then the observer notice them, and then glances at the puppet mounted on his left arm and spoke to it as if the puppet is a living person accompanying him.

"It looks like they noticed us. We'd better go for now..."

As the man took his leave, Kyuji and Shiho contemplated on whether to go after him or not but then a Batta Candroid came on them and saw a Taka Candroid flying above them, and there Ankh's voice spoke and informed them of something else is happening which the teen vagabond makes a hasty decision on what to do next.

"Kyuji...I sense a Yummy nearby...follow the Candroid that would lead you to it..."

Left with no choice, Kyuji leaves Shiho behind and boarded the Ride Vendor as he follows the Taka Candroid leaving as it leads him to where a Yummy is located while Shiho decided to look around the area for clues as Kogoro and Heiji decided to assist her in finding anything that would lead to the one behind the bombings. A few minutes later Kyuji is cruising within the streets when he saw what appeared to be a fish-type Yummy "swimming" within the vicinity and saw that it resembled a shark, and then slowly realized that Ankh sensed the Yummy's presence near the explosion site.

"A Yummy...but...it "swims" on the ground...? And a shark of all things..."

The scene zooms in front of Kyuji which shows that it was a Same Yummy, which resembles a white shark, and the Yummy turns around and heads straight for its pursuer and seeing what is about to happen, Kyuji took out the O-Belt and fastened it around his waist while inserting three Core medals and then scans them with the O-Scanner.

O-Belt: "TAKA...TORA...BATTA! TA-TO BA...TA-TO-BA TA-TO-BA!"

Kyuji becomes O's and initiates his fight with the Same Yummy, suspecting that it is connected to the explosions, and jumps off the Ride Vendor and landed on top of the Yummy and activated the Tora Claws and stabs the monster with enough force to rake out some Cell Medals, but the Same Yummy moves sideways like a shark and this causes O's to be thrown off before the monster escapes. Recovering his composure, he realizes that the Yummy escaped and there is nothing he could do right now except pick up about eight Cell medals before boarding the Ride Vendor as he heads back to the Agasa house.

"Darn...got away...guess I'll head back for now..."

-x-

At the Agasa house, several minutes later, Kyuji learned from Ankh about Erika "collecting" the loan he borrowed from Kougami and gave him the eight Cell Medals which replenishes the Greed's "health" and there they discussed about the events that happened a while ago, and there the vagabond learned that the Same Yummy to be one of many Yummies created by Mezuru, recalling that she is based from marine animals and that the Yummies she created are of marine-based animals.

Shiho then joins the discussion and from there the trio came up with a theory linking the Same Yummy and the explosion though the two are baffled at how this happened since Moriya is currently in jail. However, through Ankh's theory, it is possible that Mezuru may have found someone with the same desire as Moriya in which Kyuji is troubled when told that perhaps a nest is set somewhere and that there are more than one Same Yummy is created and by now its siblings have been spawned and are now feeding on someone's desire to destroy things.

"So Teiji Moriya was once a famous architect, but is now jailed...but...how can he be behind the bombings...?"

"Kogoro and Heiji are figuring it out once they assessed the damage..."

"But...Ankh sensed the Yummy near the explosion site...wait...could it be that they're connected...?"

"Ankh, do you think that...?"

"That's a possibility...according to the files on Shinichi Kudo's I-Pad...this Moriya loved his handiwork so that he can replace his old ones with new ones the moment he achieved his goal...and perhaps that's a possibility...making bombs is another source of desire...and perhaps this may have attracted Mezeru..."

"But still..."

"If that is the case...then shouldn't the Yummy's egg be found at the prison...?"

"We still don't know if Moriya is responsible...wait...I got an idea...Ankh...here..."

Unsure about the theories they came up with, Shiho then showed to Ankh the letters from Teiji Moriya and prodded him to use Shinichi Kudo's memories to scan the letter so as to be sure if Moriya is the one behind the explosions and to know if he is Mezuru's latest victim become the host of the Same Yummies.

"Why would I do that?"

"Because it's needed."

"Well, I refuse!"

"Pretty please...?"

"Grr...fine, just don't make that cute gesture...you're making me nauseating...!"

"*Thank you...*"

"I SAID STOP ACTING CUTE!"

Reluctantly, Ankh accepted and read the letter and began to access Shinichi's memories to get a look on Teiji Moriya, on what he looked like and what he has done before he was apprehended and jailed. Kyuji and Shiho watches on as Ankh read the letters and closed his eyes as he begins to go inside the body's mind to gain access to the teen detective's memories while Kyuji looks on, wondering if all of this are connected and wondered what the Greed are up to this time while briefly recalling the memory of the explosion that he is forced to look away from.

"Darn...this is just like last year...during my time at Africa..."

-x-

At their hideout, Mezuru called out Uva and Gameru and told them that a Same Yummy has arrived, which it did as the shark-type Yummy hovered above them and as the two Greeds stood next to her, Mezuru waved her arm and the Same Yummy is dispersed into several Cell Medals, which can accommodate the three Greed and there they started feasting on the medals with Gameru being the first to eat.

"Let's eat!"

As the three Greed feast on the Cell Medals, Uva notices that Kazari is not around and wondered what has happened to him, as he hasn't showed up a few days ago since he returned from Hiraizumi, and then leaves again, which Mezuru commented that he not only loses the Ocelot and Sabaru Medals, but he is also bothered by the fact that O's mysteriously got the Lion Medal from someone since Ankh originally didn't possess it.

"Huh? Kazari's out again?"

"Yes."

"He arrived after a trip at Hiraizumi and left again...looks like he took another beating from O's...at least he won't make another insult on me..."

"That's because he is still bothered by the fact that someone else gave O's the Lion Medal..."

"Really...I sure wish I would pity him..."

-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.

To Be Continued…

Looks like things are intensifying as Mezuru is the one who sends a Yummy to attack O's, but it is possible to be connected to the bombings, yet our heroes are still unsure if Teiji Moriya is the one who perpetrated the bombings since he is still in jail...but then there's a possibility that there is someone who has the same desire as Teiji...then again...

Preview:

The conclusion to this arc as another bombing is about to take place and Kyuji is dead-set on finding and diffusing the bomb before it explodes, while Mezuru shows up to cause more trouble in which she brings a Same Yummy and Gameru along to make O's situation miserable as well as to defeat him while he is vulnerable.

Also, with five of Kazari's Core Medals in his possession, O's is going to attempt to assume a new "combo" which is synonymous to this arc's title, so expect a "scorching" conclusion as he attempts to get Mezuru's Core Medals.

Finally, will out Detective Conan crew be able to find the bomber and prove that Teiji Moriya is behind the spate of bombings? The answer to this question lies on the next chapter.
