The Bloated Blockhead Bastard Strikes! (KR OOO 16)

Hey all! Hehe, so after that boasting about having more free time ahead, I immediately got sick and have been out of commission until now. Also, I've added an0ther reason to why I should never EVER go back home again: you catch the flu within 16 goddamn hours. Speaking of sedecim, OOO 16 has been out now for a bit, but that doesn't mean I've forgotten about you. In fact, I have your medicine right here!

Maki and Kazari are wrapping up their container experiment with Gamel, as he has now ingested 14 Core Medals. The power of having multiple Cores is apparently a bit much for Gamel to control, even after his body morphs to adapt to his new found power. Such a fool, he thinks he's following Mezool's wishes , when really he's it' s just a tool. Maki pushes his luck with Kazari, who dispatches of him easily and leaves with his "fee": Ankh's Core!

Meanwhile Hina is trying to patch up Eiji back at the Cous Coussier, although she might be doing more harm than good. Ankh is no where to been seen, which we find out to be because he is off visiting the Kougami Foundation to eat their brains and gain their knowledge . . . I mean just to gain knowledge. Kougami seems unphased by the idea of Maki plotting against him, since Maki moving toward his general goal of greed changing/save the world. He begs for Eiji (oh yeah he barges in and starts throwing he's "weight" around) and Ankh to hold back and wait for Maki's experiment, whatever it might be, to unfold.

Ankh leaves in a huff, but Eiji hangs around to get some more information about the Core Medals and the Greeed. Now we finally get a true explanation of the birth of the Greeed and the purpose of the Core Medals. But first, let's check in on our betrayed Greeed, Uva and Mezool. It appears that Mezool managed to retain one Core, which Uva now wants, but Mezool manages to escape with. Uva sends some trash Yummy after her, while we start to hear an explanation for the Greeed. FINALLY!

So 800 years ago, scientists of the time tried to make an artificial life form. Wait. This sounds kinda familiar. That didn't well either. Oh scientists, when will you ever learn? Anyway, they compressed some creatures into coins, then ordered them in groups of nine which eventually began to gain consciousness. That consciousness started to develop a greed complex, and now here we are, in the future, with crazy a bugmen trying to murder a landshark lady.

So OOO was made to control/suppress the powers of Greeed/greed. Now Eiji is even more unsure of his or Ankh role in all of this. After defeating the trash, Eiji of course unknowingly protecting Mezool in the process, we flash over to Maki in the lab talking about destroying the world.

Gotou steps in and tries to arrest him for his role in last week's episode, but stops when he realizes that Birth is complete and he could wield it if he stays on his good graces.

Meanwhile, Gamel starts wondering around town looking fro Mezool, and eventually drifts into the Cous Coussier's Christmas fair. Eiji unwittingly serves him while struggling to figure out why he looks do damn familiar. Gamel mistakes Hina for Mezool, then goes crazy when he realizes it's not her and releases so much energy that he breaks everything in the shop and runs out.

Eiji gives chase, then tries to stop Gamel from rampaging. Mezool shows up and fuses with Gamel, who is all too willing to give her all of himself. Maki shows up to help complete the experiement with Mezool now, and he throws in thousands of more Cell Medals plus two of Uva's Core Medals. This causes Mezool to complete change forms into a giant Cthulhu-esk landshark thing, and she immediately loses control and begins to rampage. It kinda looks like a more retarded Castle Doran.



Eiji goes OOO TaToBa, but lacks the power to do anything. Right as things look extremely bleak, Birth shows up and uses his capsule machine inspired powers to damage PsychoMezool, sending two of Uva's Core's flying. Seizing the opportunity, OOO goes GataKiriBa and finishes her off. Cores go flying, and Ankh, Kazari and Uva all fight for their share with Ankh only grabbing two.

On the way back home, Birth come back. Dropping his henshin, we see not Gotou, but an unfamiliar face. Who is this man? (spoiler alert - his name is Date Akira)
