. . . And That is Why Cats Can't be Surgeons. (KR OOO 14)

I'm sure by now I'm sure all of the faithful have already watched and rewatched episode 14 of OOO by now, but it's been a long week so cut me some slack. I actually completed my rewatch like 3 or 4 days ago, but I'm just now getting around to typing things up. Having a job with responsibilities is stupid . . . I mean rewarding!

Anyway, onwards to KR OOO 14!

If you recall the ending of 13, Shingo is in bad shape. Ankh pretty much has left him to die because he's a moody bitch. Doctors struggle to keep Shingo going through life support, but hope is fading fast. Eiji returns, looking for Ankh (who of course is hanging out on some bench, being harassed by some dog), but decides to chase after with Candroids instead. Right as he's running out to the vending machine, the director is being rushed into surgery for a heart condition. He recognizes Eiji from earlier, stops him and begs him to explain what's going on. After finding out the cause of Tamura's greed, he feels responsible and his condition worsens. If only there were some miracle surgeon who could perform him delicate operation!

Once at the vending machine, Eiji wastes ALL of the Cell Medals in his possession on Candroids to find Tamura and Ankh. That's right, all of them. He even buys some unagi, which can't help him track shit! He manages to find Ankh right as Yummimura is about to flay him open. Ankh coughs up 4 Core Medals for Eiji then flies back to the hospital to reunite with Shingo.

Elsewhere, Eiji transforms into OOO and starts to kick the Siamese Yummy's ass again. He goes TakaTorarTar and pulls Tamura out from the Yummy, similar to how her dealt with Kazari's last Yummy.

Damn you Kazari! Image from anime4touch.blogspot.com.

Right as the tide begins the turn and Tamura makes her way to the hospital, Kazari shows up with a score to settle. He beats the crap out of Eiji and steals the Cheetah and Tora Medals, leaving Eiji powerless. Oh crap, now we can't see LaTorarTar Combo!!! Ankh shows up just in the nick of time and give Eiji another Tora Medal, allowing him to go TaToBa.



Using the Medajalibur, OOO quickly cuts down the Yummy while Kazari manages to escape with his recovered medals. Back at the hospital, Tamura performs the surgery and saves the day. Heartfelt moments ensue. Awww.

Meanwhile Mezool's plan comes to fruition as she has used a con-man to raise several Piranha Yummy undetected. As the rest of the gang feasts and plans out how they are going to defeat OOO, Maki is back at the lab developing the new belt system. We get a full mock-up of the suit and right before the episode ends, we get a glempse of one of Ankh's Kujaku Core Medals! Oh, no what is he planning!?!

This episode was pretty solid, a good 8/10. We also get a good shot of Birth, and Ankh is back in his rightful place. Hopefully 15 will be just as good, because it seems that Birth is showing up in 16! Yay!
