It's a very empathetic goal -- just helping people -- rather than a goal like Fame or Saving The World that never quite reaches a resolution.

I feel wanting to save the world is a common trait in the franchise, or at least most of the main Riders. The fanbase also seem to view those main Riders as those who wants to save the world (and nothing else, character wise, for some). Maybe saving the world is about defeating something that threatens the entire world (those who can/want destroy the world), and by defeating them, the world won't be destroyed by them, thus is saved.

I like that Kazari is already starting to put a plan into place that, even if it doesn’t immediately secure his Core Medals, at least gets him the passive income-equivalent of earning Cell Medals. He’s got his Yummy out there plumping itself up on desire and metabolizing that into Cell Medals, which is Plan A. But if the Yummy gets defeated by OOO, he’ll just move on to Plan B: taking the 60% of the defeated Yummy’s Cell Medals that OOO will pass along to Kougami, which Kougami will pass along to Maki, which Maki will pass along to Kazari. It’s a cunning yet lazy plan, which is the perfect one to come from the Cat Greeed.

Yeah lately, only Kazari is the Yummy who's in league with Maki. So the difference is noted by the other Yummies. Then again, Maki might not be that trustworthy to work with, which I find suspicious when he brings up his promise and that Kazari expects Maki to fulfill that, which may be also a downfall for the Yummy who works with him. Kougami unwittingly makes the situation seemingly heads I win tails you lose as regardless of the outcome, a Yummy (who knows their machination) would benefit from either.

It’s not going great for Ankh! He’s a Greeed, so he’s a lazy piece of work that assumes all of humanity exists to serve him, which means that having to choke down Chiyoko’s (very well-meaning) attention while also being tethered to a human form that needs constant care and is overseen by a freakishly-strong sibling… it’s not going real good for our favorite avian asshole. He lacks humility, and this is the most humbling situation he’s ever been in.

Other than still being overseen, it seems Hina has been more tolerant of Ankh, seemingly also accepting Ankh's baby steps to be more civil. Hina only carries Ankh away in this episode as it's something necessary, Ankh is scaring the children in the hospital, and she tried to reason with Ankh from fighting Goto.

And, yeah, that’s this episode’s whole thing, but everyone at the hospital is such a condescending prick about it (ALL DUDES!), and people’s lives are probably at stake here. Why in the world are they keeping her around if she’s going to get basically suspended for being passionate about her job? (Her first meeting with the main boss, she’s completely blown off while her dipshit colleague smirks over her upbraiding!) Like, for sure, it is not cool to do a bunch of surgeries at night all by yourself with zero authorization, but the impetus of this plot is that a bunch of dudes are trying to put a female surgeon in her place. I do not love the optics on this one!!!

This is a 2 parter, so yeah it might be brought up in the next episode, but yeah I don't understand why the hospital forbids Tamura to perform surgery. I thought it's done to give other surgeons a chance to be better and increase the number of competent surgeons in the hospital other than Tamura, but the director is just overbearing boss with authoritarian way of leading. I don't know if this is an intentional misogynistic stuff though just because the one on predicament happens to be female.
