I saw episode 10-16 of OOO. And my god, the episode 15 and 16 two parter is badass. All of the Greeed show up to steal the 5K cell medal load with Ankh, Eiji, Gotou and Hina all stuck in one big cluster fight. A lot of the Core medals are lost and Kazari betrays the other Greeed. A giant Mezool monster formed from when Gamel and Mezool met with a clusterf**k of Core Medals overloading them. Gattakiriba cloning and doing an epic rider kick. Not to mention the badass debut of Birth. Gattakiriba, Latoratah and Sagozo combos equally shine here. Granted, the yummy fight at the end of episode 15 with Latoratah and the Toride Vendor in its cheetah form felt kinda forced in as a minor win for OOO in this defeat for the good guys.

It also showed how the President of the Kougami Foundation and Dr Maki's relationship was really screwed up because of their opposing opinions on what to do about the Greeed. Maki wants the world to end by the Greeed while the President wants it to be reborn in desire a different way. The whole foundation itself is screwed up, they supply equipment to a guy who wants to stop these rampaging Greeeds from potentially killing people while the foundation will let these monsters still go around and observe like they can't do anything.

This has to be my favorite two parter in the 4 riders series I have watched in depth without completing( Kuuga, Double, Wizard and OOO). Its epic, twists the plot around so it progresses backwards and forwards, characters develop more, the steaks are raised higher and creates new ways the show can go thanks to the introduction of Kamen Rider Birth.
