Kamen Rider OOO: SUM-MAR-Y, SUMMARY, SUM-MAR-Y! (minimal spoilers)
Plot: 12th Rider of Heisei era, Kamen Rider OOO (pronounced OOoohhhs, like you're yelling at someone who's about about to fall into a pile of them. I mean the tools.) is wielded by Eiji Hino, a young vagrant who travels the world with no real aim or reason, save to have enough money to buy tomorrow's underwear. After getting a gig as a night guard, Eiji wakes up to find the building partially destroyed. Eventually he runs in a situation where he must become OOO to save the life of a young detective from creatures called Greed. Aided by the mysterious Greeed, who can only manifest as an arm, he uses a combination of three medals (controlling the forms of his head, body and legs) to gain the amazing power of a Kamen Rider.

Characters:
Eiji Hino -A young man who has not held a job in his life. After falling asleep on his job at the museum, he must gain the ability to become Kamen Rider OOO in order to save a young detective injured in an "attack."
Ankh - A bird-like Greeed who aids Eiji in his quest, hoping to utilize his power to defeat all the other Greeed and obtain the power of the Multi King. He can only manifest his arm, but he can posses others to utilize their bodies. He stores most of the medals that the duo earn from defeating Greeed, including many of the Core Medals need for OOO to transform.
Hina Izumi - Sister to the detective injured during the incident at the museum, Hina hosts superhuman strength, which she can't always control. She is very close to her brother, since he is the only family she has left.
Kougami Foundation - A shadow organization which owns all of the medal driven tech derived from their research of the Greeed. They own the museum that Eiji had a part-time job at, and they also own the Cell Medal-operated machines, such as the Candroids and the Ride Vendor. The organization is headed by Kousei Kougami, assisted by Erika Satonaka (his assistant) and Shintaro Goto (head of the Foundation's Ride Vendor 1st Squad motorcycle brigade). Little more is know about this group at this time.
Greeed - These creatures feed on Core and Cell Medals in order to gain greater power and abilities. They are created from the 45 core medals, sealed away 800 years ago. They are back now and looking to take over the world again. They are able to a create less powerful creature called a Yummy, which can generate and store Cell Medals. These creates are spawned from greed, either from a human source or a Greeed itself.
There are five Greeed: Ankh (a bird), Uva (insect), Kazari (cat), Gamel ('heavy animal'), and Mezool (aquatic creatures).
Equipment and Forms:
As I mentioned earlier, OOO's power is obtained by inserting a combination of Core Medals into the OOO Driver. The Driver is then scanned using the O Scanner (go figure :-P), which activated the belt and transforms the head, body and legs of the Rider, in accordance the to slotted Medals. The Medals can be inserted and removed both in and outside of henshin (much like Kamen Rider W driver ability), and control the head, body and legs from left to right.
The first (and main) formation is known as TaToBa Combo. The top being Taka (bird), body being Tora (cat) and the body being Batta (grashopper). His final attack in this form is a Rider Kick, which is activated with a Scanning Charge (reminiscent of Kamen Rider 555).
Other notable form are GataKiriBa Combo, LaTorarTar Combo, and LaToraBa Combo.
Medajalibur is a sword which can be loaded with Cell Medals and scanned with the O Scanner to perform the OOO Blast Tripple Scanning Charge. The blade is given to OOO by the Kougami Foundation.
Ride Vendor is a vending machine, which can distribute Candroids and can transform into a motorcycle through the use of Cell Medals. The machines are owned and operated by the Kougami Foundation.
And that about does it. I'll be posting that review of OOO 9 tonight, so catch up on the series if you have to time. See you then! d_(>.<)_b
