History Awesome / KamenRiderOOO

--> '''Ankh''': ''"Well, [[HumansAreBastards I will]]. The moment you are worthless to me, [[NeutralEvil I will abandon you.]]"''

* Ankh [[JustForPun single-handedly]] stops Putotyra's rampage by blocking the Medagabryu's blade with his Greeed arm, and then forcing the belt to eject the medals back into Eiji's body.

!!Meta and Other

* Eiji going ImplacableMan against Complete Uva, wielding the [[CoolSword Medajalibur]] and [[AnAxeToGrind Medagaburyu]] ''[[DualWielding at the same time]]''.

* How about the simple fact that Eiji and Ankh finish off Maki by shooting him with a '''BLACK HOLE!''' That alone is insanely awesome! And not just a black hole, but a ''[[IncendiaryExponent flaming]]'' [[UpToEleven black hole]]!

* The [=TaToBa=] Kick. Even though the Yummy's boss saved it at the last second, the fact he plowed through several giant pillars to reach it and still manage to cause some damage makes it epic. Added points since most fans seemed to ''really'' want to see his Rider Kick.

** A whole horde of [=GataKiriBa=] Riders rushing towards the Piranha Yummy horde. While the song provides adrenaline-pumping beats. PURE. AWESOME.

** Eiji hacking and slashing an entire nest-worth of Shark Yummies to pieces ''while riding'' the [=ToRideVendor=]!

* A few minutes' worth of footage after the Lion-Kurage Yummy goes. For one, Ankh and Eiji, despite having a completely valid reason just earlier to break up for good - Ankh's fault, obviously - trust each other completely in regards to defeating the Yummy. For another, Date pretty much "taking in" Goto-chan to train him as the next Birth. All this while a powerful track plays in the background. It's incredible [[ItMakesSenseInContext how much context went into these few minutes]]. Kudos, Kobayashi-sensei.

* Eiji, while in [=TaJaDor=] form, uses Giga Scan for the first time. It surrounds him with flames that morph together into a phoenix, which utterly destroy the Batta Yummy.

* Shauta Combo's debut: Its Combo power to turn itself into liquid was a start. Then, the way it rode the Manta Ray Yummy was impressive. But of course, the one thing that really made this scene great was [=ShaUTa=]'s Scanning Charge finisher, where it grabbed and threw the Yummy towards him with the Unagi Whips so he could drill kick it. Truly awesome to watch.

* Yay, 1000th episode and all, but [=ShaUTa=] Combo water-skiing behind Birth CLAWS was freaking incredible. Then, just when you think that CLAWS has been blown up while on the water, it reassembles underground and pounces on the Yummy, with a bunch of flashing lights in motion.

* After Eiji gets forced into the [=PuToTyra=] combo fighting another Pteranodon Yummy and once again turning his attention to Date, Goto manages to trick the berserk Eiji into fighting against Kazari instead, the latter of which promptly gets his butt kicked.

** If you watch closely, Uva manages to avoid Kazari's attack.

** And finally having a successful [=TaToBa=] Kick. Against Uva, no less. The same Uva who the two Births didn't stand a chance against.

* The preview shows a brief scene of [=TaToBa=] Combo posing alongside his SEVEN other Combo forms. [[Series/KamenRiderDenO Say, haven't we seen this kind of thing before]]?
** The actual scene pretty much plays out an early WMG to the letter - OOO goes into [=GataKiriBa=] form, summons a ton of clones, and the Core Medals are divided between them to summon all of OOO's Combo forms simultaneously. What pushes this into true [=CMoA=] territory is the fact that ''it's an EnemyMine moment,'' with all of the Greeed donating Core Medals to make it possible.

* OOO showing that he can go toe-to-toe with Poseidon perfectly, who has shown the ability to beat both Gotou and Date as Birth at once.

* Eiji pulls a BigDamnHeroes to save Koyomi when she's threatened by some mooks, beating them down ''untransformed and barehanded''. He then leads Birth, Double, and Accel into the Underworld to help Wizard and the Fourze Riders, and does the most damage to the villains' transport thanks to the return of [=BuraKaWani=] and [=PuToTyra=]. And then he goes Super [=TaToBa=] and, along with the other OOO and the Double Riders, plus Meteor and Nadeshiko, performs a sextuple Rider Kick to finish said transport off.

!In General
* Ankh in generally is one for the special effects team. Despite being just an arm prop, they're able to make him amazingly expressive through his movements. Very well done.

!Series

* #1: Eiji's undaunted confrontation against Mantis Yummy. Of course he'd come to their aid: he's known those two cops and that disembodied hand since this morning! He's already prepared to attack a Yummy bare handed if he needs to; there's no reason to refuse an offer to use the strange seal the hand gives him to kick ass.
* #2: Refusing to help Ankh collect Medals if Ankh doesn't let him transform when he wants to help people is a stand-up and noble thing to do. Doing so while falling to your death takes serious balls.
** The Henshin sequence directly afterwards; even the transformation music adds to the effect.
* #3: He ''threatens'' Ankh with throwing away the OOO Driver if he harms Hina. [[StealthPun Triple points]] for [[ObfuscatingStupidity acting like a complete idiot]] while doing so. [[note]]As if he's saying "Look! If you touch that girl, I won't be able to help doing something stupid, like throwing away the Driver!"[[/note]]
** The [=TaToBa=] Kick. Even though the Yummy's boss saved it at the last second, the fact he plowed through several giant pillars to reach it and still manage to cause some damage makes it epic. Added points since most fans seemed to ''really'' want to see his Rider Kick.
* #4: During OOO and Kazari's rematch, the Mantis Medal was lost to the latter. But the crowner comes when [[DelayedReaction Kazari subsequently loses his armor]] as a result of OOO reaching deep into his Medal body and ''snatching three of his Core Medals''.
** Ankh and Eiji's talk before confronting the Neko Yummy. It perfectly shows the contrast of their personalities and intentions in merely a few lines.

** The [[SuperSpeed Cheetah Medal]], period. The fight also got really emotionally escalated due to Eiji's resolve and the accompanying BGM.
* #6: [=GataKiriBa=] Combo's debut, complete with a finishing attack involving several clones of OOO that puts the [[Series/KamenRiderDecade All Rider Kick]] to shame. As if it's not enough, the debut of "[[SugarWiki/AwesomeMusic Gotta Keep It Real]]" pushed the scene up [[RunningGag three times]] higher.

** Kougami ''tricking'' an embodiment of greed into giving him his equivalent to food.
*** During the negotiations, Ankh finally gets Kougami to settle on 60% of his and Eiji's medal gain. Then Kogami presents Ankh with the cake we'd seen him making earlier in the episode... with "60%" written on it. Kougami, you magnificent bastard.
* #9: [=LaToraTah=] Combo's debut: Upon transformation, it radiates heat (or is that just concentrated awesome?) with such intensity that four of Mezool's Core Medals pop out just like that. Then the fight against one of the Shark Yummy happens, and Eiji [[CurbStompBattle ''flattens it'']].
* #10: Eiji, fed up with the MadBomber's schtick, throws a punch at Maki. It misses, but it was ''this'' close, made a dent in a wall, and the force causes the doll on Maki's shoulder to fall off, causing him to FreakOut.

* #11: Gotou uses a ROCKET LAUNCHER on the Swallowtail Yummy!
* #12: [=SaGohZo=] Combo's debut: The force of the Gorilla fists pounding on Eiji's chest is so immense, it creates a shockwave that ripples the ground and causes all three of the enemies Eiji was facing to float in the air and fall back to the ground along with debris. The finishing move is nothing to sneeze at either, which involves pounding the ground to ensnare the enemy in the earth and somehow dragging the trapped enemy to OOO who easily punches the lights out of the poor thing.

* #15: Kazari's entire plot. MagnificentBastard is the only way to describe it.
** Eiji and Ankh's BigDamnHeroes when they team up to rescue Hina.
* #19: A [=CMoA=] not quite "intense" as much as "artistic". Eiji, Ankh and Kazari holding up Ankh's three different Core Medals in three different locations at the same time, in 3 vertical split-screens. Then the three birds' crow are heard consecutively... just a split second before the opening beats kick in.
* #20: A few minutes' worth of footage after the Yummy goes. For one, Ankh and Eiji, despite having a completely valid reason just earlier to break up for good - Ankh's fault, obviously - trust each other completely in regards to defeating the Yummy. For another, Date pretty much "taking in" Goto-chan to train him as the next Birth. All this while a powerful track plays in the background. It's incredible [[ItMakesSenseInContext how much context went into these few minutes]]. Kudos, Kobayashi-sensei.
** Eiji finally obtains a full set of Ankh's red medals and uses their combo, [=TaJaDor=]. The form itself is already extremely badass, but then its theme song, [[SugarWiki/AwesomeMusic Time Judged All]], kicks in and takes it to the next level.
** Erika showing up to support OOO and Birth...by DualWielding guns and wiping out the jellyfish the Yummy created that were giving OOO and Birth so much trouble.
* #22: Eiji, while in [=TaJaDor=] form, uses Giga Scan for the first time. It surrounds him with flames that morph together into a phoenix, which utterly destroy the Batta Yummy.
** Ankh and Birth working together to break into Uva's body and get back the Grasshopper Medal, as well as snatch the Octopus Medal.
* #24: [=ShaUTa=] Combo's debut: Its Combo power to turn itself into liquid was a start. Then, the way it rode the Manta Ray Yummy was impressive. But of course, the one thing that really made this scene great was [=ShaUTa=]'s Scanning Charge finisher, where it grabbed and threw the Yummy towards him with the Unagi Whips so he could drill kick it. Truly awesome to watch.
* #28: Yay, 1000th episode and all, but [=ShaUTa=] Combo water-skiing behind Birth CLAWS was freaking incredible. Then, just when you think that CLAWS has been blown up while on the water, it reassembles underground and pounces on the Yummy.
** One for Hina, too, when she shows just ''how much'' SuperStrength she has, picking up a giant boulder and flinging it at the Jaguar-squid Yummy.
** Kougami watching all of the main Riders (save for Shin, ZO, and J, whose movies don't count towards the 1000 episodes) Henshin at once, preparing to watch every fight scene in the franchise. And, yes, we get to see all of them Henshin at once, with the camera slowly scrolling across and showing us every Rider.
* #29: The first appearance of the other Ankh. He floats down from the sky, surrounded by flames and molting red feathers. Bonus points for the new BGM.
** Eiji's brief [=TaJaDor=] fight against the other Ankh where they both use the same powers and even both use a Rider Kick.
* #32: [=PuToTyra=] debuts by [[CurbStompBattle completely annihilating the two yummy who were previously making Eiji and Date look foolish.]]
* #33: After Eiji gets forced into the [=PuToTyra=] combo fighting a Yummy and once again turning his attention to Date, Goto manages to trick the berserk Eiji into fighting against Kazari instead, the latter of which promptly gets his butt kicked.
* #34: Ankh [[JustForPun single-handedly]] stops [=PuToTyra's=] rampage by blocking the Medagabryu's blade with his Greeed arm, and then forcing the belt to eject the medals back into Eiji's body.
* #36: Eiji finally gains control of [=PuToTyra=], and is still able to hold his own against the revived Mezool and Gamel, Uva, and the Unicorn Yummy nicely. It's also the debut of its Combo Theme, [[SugarWiki/AwesomeMusic "POWER to TEARER"]].
** In a slightly different vein, when the Unicorn Yummy reveals and tries to destroy Eiji's dream. It discovers that his dream manifests as the entire Earth appearing above his head, and even scaled down, it is simply too large for the Yummy to tear apart.
*** Double points because the Earth-image was STILL growing when the Yummy cancelled the effect, while screaming "too big!"
* #38: Gotou finally transforming into Birth and epically [[CurbStompBattle Curb Stomping]] Kazari, Mezool and Gamel all the while the song [[SugarWiki/AwesomeMusic Reverse/Re:birth]] is playing in the background.
** Gotou gets one prior to that, when Dr. Maki pulls out the detonator to Birth's auto-destruct and tries to blow Date to pieces for his HeelFaceTurn...and nothing happens. Why? Because unlike Date, Gotou enjoys going over instruction manuals, so as soon as Maki betrayed them, he disabled the auto-destruct.
-->'''Date/Birth''': Ohh! Gotou-chan, ''NICE!'' *characteristic thumbs-up*
** Hell, even before ''that'', just the fact that he was willing to stand up to Date and fight for what he believed in. This was Gotou's Episode of Awesome, hands down.
* #40: A Villainous example is where the Lost Ankh manages to succeed on his first proper attempt to get the Ankh we know back into his body, and he manages to set it up so that Eiji can't simply transform to stop him.
* #42: The final battle between OOO and Lost Ankh, specifically [[ThereIsNoKillLikeOverkill the way it ends]]. After a berserk [=PuToTyra=] destroys both of Ankh's wings midair, he lands and slashes Ankh so hard it ''destroys three of his Cores''.
** Gotou finishing off the Ankylosaurus Yummy as well.
*** Gotou already proved he's a bigger Baddass with Birth then Date but he clinches it when the Yummy freezes him in place, but that doesn't stop him from shooting and you can hear him (or possibly the Yummy) chuckling the whole time. The Yummy makes a badass boast only for Gotou to counter "about now is the time for my supervisor to show up"
*** Yes, Gotou actually timed the battle to coincide with Satonaka's late arrivals!
* #43: Eiji and Ankh have a little showdown. Eiji using the power of the Purple medals is strong enough to force Ankh to withdraw. Note that this is AFTER he says that even with three missing Cores, his power is back to about where it was eight hundred years ago.
* #44: Kazari's fully revived state, stealing medals from all the other Greeed as well as handing poor Goutou his ass as Birth. Seriously just look at his armor...
** However that just makes it that much more awesome when Eiji as [=PuToTyra=] cracks one of his Lion cores and causes his eventual demise when Dr. Maki in his now-fully complete Greeed form rips out all but that cracked medal, leaving him to bleed out cell medals until he finally deforms and the Lion Core shatters completely. And considering everything he's done over the series, [[AssholeVictim he]] ''[[AssholeVictim won't]]'' [[AssholeVictim be missed]]. Which itself is awesome as a testament to how well-done Kazari was as a villain.

* #45: Despite trouncing [=RaToraTah=] and Birth Prototype, Mezool is finally brought down by Eiji using the Medagaburyu to destroy a set of her Medals. Turns out the Medagaburyu is all OOO needs.
** The fact that Toei finally remembered the Tora Can and the Toride Vendor also counts.
* #46: ''DATE IS BACK!'' And he takes the Birth Prototype to help Gotou take Gamel down.
** At the same time, Dr. Maki causes Eiji to completely change into a berserk Greeed, and it is utterly CreepyAwesome.
** Earlier on, Gamel gets a surprisingly-decent shot in at Dr. Maki, who has been established as being horrifically powerful, when he callously dismisses Mezool's death. He also manages to keep going for an entire episode despite Maki's return blow damaging his Core Medals. It takes a double Breast Cannon from Date and Gotou to finally put him down for good. And even then, Gamel still doesn't go down for a moment or two.
* #47: Ankh performing a full-on HeelFaceTurn and saving Eiji from Maki by lighting Maki's doll on fire.
** Uva becoming complete.
* #48: Eiji going ImplacableMan against Complete Uva, wielding the [[CoolSword Medajalibur]] and [[AnAxeToGrind Medagaburyu]] ''[[DualWielding at the same time]]''.

** Uva gets a small one by saying "I don't need more [Medals]." Yes, a being made of pure greed and desire has decided that he's had enough.
** Eiji and Ankh teaming up as Putotyra and Ankh's full Greeed form to kick ass and save the city from the mass of Yummies atacking civilians.
** And Eiji delivering a full Giga Scan with his purple Medals in [=TaJaDor=] form, while having Ankh fight with him side-by-side in spirit.
** Let's not forget the moment where Eiji absorbs all his cell medals into the Medagaburyu, in order to deliver an insanely powerful, spinning slash to Giru/Maki. Maki is saved by the... thing that Uva became right after, but still, that was majorly impressive. Plus, Maki even pointed out that Eiji would hurt himself doing that move... but Eiji still pulled it off fabulously.
** Listen carefully to the OOO Driver as Eiji Henshins into [=TaJaDol=] Combo for the last time. The voice is not that of the usual Akira Kushida, but Ankh! Pretty much drives the point home that they're now truly fighting together.
*** Not just that, but if you look closely at the Taka medal symbol during the henshin sequence, you can see it's not the usual red, but the same gradient as Ankh's wings.
** Dr. Maki gets one as well. Taking Kiyo-chan off his shoulder and telling off Kougami as he does so. Considering that this is the guy who uses Kiyo-chan as a surrogate and freaks out if someone knocks the doll off his shoulder, this is a pretty awesome bit of CharacterDevelopment.
*** Kougami one-ups him with this line: "Have you forgotten? Eight hundred years ago, the Core Medals were created in sets of ''ten.''" And then he whips out the medals used by the original OOO to transform and pulls off an epic medal toss even Ankh would approve of. His message of hope about how the power of OOO will reinvigorate humanity and inspire us to greater heights also proves that, despite his eccentricities, he really is one of the good guys.
** How about the simple fact that Eiji and Ankh finish off Maki by shooting him with a '''BLACK HOLE!''' That alone is insanely awesome! And not just a black hole, but a ''[[IncendiaryExponent flaming]]'' [[UpToEleven black hole]]!

!Movies and Specials
* The birth of [=TaJaDor=] Combo in ''Movie War CORE''. Just as it looks like Eiji's about to be defeated, he rises from the water and not only holds off Core, but causes [=CycloneJokerXtreme=] to become Gold once more, buying both Riders enough time to set up their finishers.
* The preview for OOO's summer movie shows a brief scene of [=TaToBa=] Combo posing alongside his SEVEN other Combo forms. [[Series/KamenRiderDenO Say, haven't we seen this kind of thing before]]?

** [=BuraKaWani=] Combo's debut in the movie. His battle includes using kicks with projections of a biting crocodile, blocking with his arm shields, and playing a flute to summon a giant cobra from the cobra head. He then finishes the Nue Yummy with a sliding Rider Kick.
** ''Series/KamenRiderFourze'' ''[[DynamicEntry arriving in a fireball]]'' to help OOO out. The whole scene reflects the atmosphere of the next ''Kamen Rider'' series perfectly.
*** Better yet, unlike the previous two times, Fourze doesn't make the monster being fought suffer TheWorfEffect. He fights him briefly, then does a FastballSpecial with OOO, giving the latter the necessary momentum to land a critical blow on Gara.
** How Eiji outdoes the BigBad Gara before that certainly counts. He offers himself in place of the civilians being harvested for Cell Medals, and ''singlehandedly overloads Gara's DoomsdayDevice.''
*** Kougami gets a nice assist on that one, having been the one to trick the BigBad into making the above happen (and being the MagnificentBastard that he is, his reaction makes it clear that yes, it totally was his plan all along).
* Movie War Megamax:
** Eiji seemingly TookALevelInBadass and fighting decently untransformed.
** Ankh from the future reuniting with Eiji, allowing him to take on the mantle of OOO again.
** Satonaka once again showing her combat capabilities, and twice at that!
** OOO showing that he can go toe-to-toe with Poseidon perfectly, who has shown the ability to beat both Gotou and Date as Birth at once.
** Eiji managing to separate Minato Miharu from Poseidon despite all the odds.
** Gotou and Date, despite their injuries, are still determined to help defeat Poseidon.
** Miharu finally defeating his fear and transforming into Kamen Rider Aqua, showing some kickin' jet ski skills and helping OOO to finally defeat Poseidon.
** Another one alongside Fourze, described in two words and a letter by the OOO Driver.

** OOO's transforms into ''Super'' [=TaToBa=]and fights the Super Galaxy King alongside Fourze Rocket States.
*** Super [=TaToBa=] is powerful enough that Eiji completely neutralized Kannagi's time-stop ability and not only fought him on equal ground, but was clearly ''winning.'' Hell, if he'd used that form when they were further from space, Gentaro's presence would have been ''completely unnecessary.''
*** Any of the battles before this could count, from Double's rapid chain of transformations and Maximum Drives, OOO using every combo at his disposal to destroy the army of {{mooks}}, Fourze cycling through his switches against said mooks, and the seven legendary Kamen Riders and Aqua destroying the dummies of the Dopants and Greeed created by Kannagi.
* In Movie War Ultimatum, Eiji pulls a BigDamnHeroes to save Koyomi when she's threatened by some mooks, beating them down ''untransformed and barehanded''. He then leads Birth, Double, and Accel into the Underworld to help Wizard and the Fourze Riders, and does the most damage to the villains' transport thanks to the return of [=BuraKaWani=] and [=PuToTyra=]. And then he goes Super [=TaToBa=] and, along with the other OOO and the Double Riders, plus Meteor and Nadeshiko, performs a sextuple Rider Kick to finish said transport off.
* In Let's Go Kamen Riders, after General Black is killed by OOO, all of his fellow Riders run in and the entire Kamen Rider Legion poses at once, showing that they'll never die.
** And then, when Great Leader Colossus, the true form of Shocker's Great Leader finally appears and proves too much for every main Rider in the show's history to handle, a combination BigDamnHeroes and BigDamnVillains moment occurs when ''every single other Rider from the show's history, good'' '''[[EnemyMine and evil]]''' arrives, and together, they mount their motorcycles and charge, striking the villain down with a salute to the show's 40 years of awesomeness: [[FinishingMove The All-Rider Break.]]

!Meta and other
* In the OOO novel, Eiji's section features him using the power of the medals and all the single-colored combos to stop a war in a middle eastern country. It also serves as a great bookend to the first part of the novel, where we see the original OOO from 800 years ago do the same thing... only while the ancient king used the power of OOO to bring conquest and destruction, Eiji is now using that power to bring peace.

* Take a look at all the scenes of Ankh perched in a tree or high off the ground. Now look at those again but with the knowledge that his actor ''[[WhyDidItHaveToBeSnakes is afraid of heights]]''. The only thing that gives this away at all is that you can occasionally see one of his hands tightly wrapped around something to brace himself. He's also reportedly afraid of water which makes scenes where he has to jump into some very impressive as well.
* The Complete Selection Modification release of the OOO Driver is slated to not only come with every medal ever released, (and several shown onscreen that didn't get proper releases, including the Super Medals) but several medals that weren't released ''at all'', that were only found in the driver's sound files. Not only that, they made entirely new medals to go with them, for the sake of making full combos with their own songs, names, and illustrated designs. If this is the end of the line for OOO, his toyline certainly went out with a bang.

* #2: Refusing to help Ankh collect Medals if Ankh doesn't let him transform when he wants to help people is a stand-up and noble thing to do. Doing so while [[spoiler: falling to your death]] takes serious balls.

** The [[color:red:Ta]][[color:gold:To]][[color:green:Ba]] Kick. Even though [[spoiler: the Yummy's boss saved it at the last second]], the fact he plowed through several giant pillars to reach it and still manage to cause some damage makes it epic. Added points since most fans seemed to ''really'' want to see his Rider Kick.
* #4: During OOO and Kazari's rematch, the [[color:green:Mantis]] Medal was lost to the latter. But the crowner comes when [[spoiler:[[DelayedReaction Kazari subsequently loses his armor]] as a result of OOO reaching deep into his Medal body and ''grabbing three of his Core Medals''.]]

** The [[color:gold:Cheetah]] SuperSpeed Medal, period. The fight also got really emotionally escalated due to Eiji's resolve and the accompanying BGM.
* #6: [[color:green:[=GataKiriBa=]]] debut, complete with a finishing attack involving several clones of OOO's that puts the [[Series/KamenRiderDecade All Rider Kick]] to shame. As if it's not enough, the debut of "[[SugarWiki/AwesomeMusic Gotta Keep It Real]]" pushed the scene up [[RunningGag three times]] higher.
** The BattleCry after he uses that combination (all ''eleven seconds of it!'') alone makes it awesome. The rest is just a bonus.
** A whole horde of [[color:green:[=GataKiriBa=]]] Riders rushing towards the Piranha Yummy horde. While the song provides adrenaline-pumping beats. PURE. AWESOME.

*** During the negotiations, Ankh finally gets Kougami to settle on 60% of his and Eiji's medal gain. [[spoiler: Then Kogami presents Ankh with the cake we'd seen him making earlier in the episode... with "60%" written on it. Kougami, you magnificent bastard.]]
* #9: [[color:gold:[=LaToraTah=]]] debut: Upon transformation, it radiates [[strike:pure awesomeness]] heat with such intensity that four of Mezool's Core Medals pop out just like that. Then the fight against one of the Shark Yummy.
* #10: Eiji, fed up with the MadBomber thing, swings a punch at Maki, it misses, but it was ''this'' close, made a dent in a wall, and the force causes the doll on Maki's shoulder to fall off, causing him to FreakOut.
** Eiji hacking and slashing an entire nest-worth of Shark Yummies to pieces ''while riding'' the [=ToRideVender=]!

* #12: [[color:gray:[=SaGohZo=]]] debut: The force of the Gorilla fists pounding on the chest is so immense, it creates a shockwave that ripples the ground and causes all three of the enemies Eiji was facing to float in the air and fall back to the ground along with debris. The finishing move is nothing to sneeze at either, which involves pounding the ground to ensnare the enemy into the earth and somehow dragging the trapped enemy to OOO who easily punches the lights out of the poor thing.

** Eiji finally obtains a full set of Ankh's red medals and uses their combo, [=TaJaDor=]. The form itself is already extremely badass, but then its theme song, [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FRfQPHZtcMQ Time Judged All]], kicks in and takes it to the next level.

* #22: Eiji, while [[color:red:[=TaJaDor=]]] form, uses Giga Scan for the first time. [[spoiler: It surrounded him with flames that morphed itself into a phoenix, and he destroyed the Batta Yummy.]]
** Ankh and Birth working together [[spoiler: to break into Uva's body and get back the Grasshopper Medal, as well as snatch the Octopus Medal.]]
* #24: [[color:blue:[=ShaUTa=]]] debut: It's Combo power to turn itself into liquid was a start. Then, the way it rode the Manta Ray Yummy was impressive. But of course, the one thing that really made this scene great was [[color:blue:[=ShaUTa=]]]'s Scanning Charge finisher, where it grabbed and threw the Yummy towards him with the Unagi Whips so he could drill kick it. Truly awesome to watch.
* #28: Yay, 1000th episode and all, but [[color:blue:[=ShaUTa=]]] water-skiing behind Birth CLAWS was freaking incredible. Then, just when you think the CLAWS has been blown up while on the water, it reassembles underground and pounces on the Yummy.
** One for Hina, too, when she shows just ''how much'' SuperStrength she has, picking up a giant boulder and throwing it at the Jaguar-squid Yummy.
** Kougami watching all main Riders (save for Shin, ZO, and J, whose movies don't count towards the 1000 episodes) henshin at once, preparing to watch every fight scene in the franchise. And, yes, we get to see all of them do it at once, with the camera slowly scrolling and showing us every Rider.
* #29: The first appearance of [[spoiler:the other Ankh. He floats down from the sky, surrounded by flames and molting red feathers. Bonus points for the new BGM.]]
** Eiji's brief [[color:red:[=TaJaDor=]]] fight against [[spoiler:an Ankh with no right arm where they both use the same powers and even both use a Rider Kick.]]
* #32: [[color:purple:[=PuToTyra's=]]] premiere by [[CurbStompBattle completely annihilating the two yummy who were previously making Eiji and Date look foolish.]]
* #33: After Eiji gets forced into the [[color:purple:[=PuToTyra's=]]] combo fighting a Yummy and once again turning his attention to Date, Goto manages to trick the berserking Eiji into fighting against Kazari instead, who promptly gets his butt kicked.
* #34: Ankh [[IncrediblyLamePun single-handedly]] stops [[color:purple:[=PuToTyra's=]]] rampage by blocking [[color:purple:Medagabryu's]] blade with his Greeed arm, then forces the belt to eject the medals back into Eiji's body.
* #36: Eiji finally gains control of [[color:purple:[=PuToTyra=]]], but is still able to hold his own against the revived Mezool and Gamel, Uva, and the Unicorn Yummy. It's also the debut of its Combo Theme, [[SugarWiki/AwesomeMusic "POWER to TEARER"]].
** In a slightly different vein, when the Unicorn Yummy reveals and tries to destroy Eiji's dream, only to discover his dream manifests as the entire Earth appearing above his head, and even scaled down, it is simply too large for the Yummy to tear apart.
*** Double points because the Earth-image was STILL growing and the Yummy cancels the effect screaming "too big!"

* #40: A Villainous example is where [[spoiler: Lost Ankh manages to succeed on his first proper attempt to get the Ankh we know back into his body, and manages to set it up so Eiji couldn't simply transform to stop him]].
* #42: The [[spoiler: final]] fight between OOO and Lost Ankh specifically [[ThereIsNoKillLikeOverkill the way it ended]]: [[spoiler: After a berserk [=PuToTyra=] destroys both of Ankh's wings midair, he lands and slashes Ankh so hard it ''destroyed three of his Cores''.]]

*** Gotou already proved he's a bigger Baddass with Birth then Date but he clinches it when in 42 the Yummy freezes him in place, that doesn't stop him from shooting and you can hear him (or possibly the Yummy) chuckling the whole time. Still Frozen the Yummy makes a badass boast only for Gotou to counter "about now is the time for my supervisor to show up"
*** Yes, Gotou actually timed the battle to Satonaka's late arrivals!

** However that just makes it that much more awesome when Eiji as [[color:purple:[=PuToTyra=]]] cracks one of his Lion cores and causes his eventual demise when Dr. Maki in his now fully complete Greeed form rips out all but that medal leaving him to bleed out cells until he finally deforms and the Lion Core shatters completely. And considering everything he's done over the series we can all agree that he ''won't'' be missed.
*** It does show how damn good he was a villain character though.

* #45: Despite trouncing [[color:gold:[=RaToraTah=]]] and Birth Prototype, Mezool is finally brought down by Eiji using the Medagaburyu to destroy a set of her Medals. Turns out the Medagaburyu is all OOO needs.

* #47: [[spoiler:Ankh performing a HeelFaceTurn and saving Eiji from Maki by lighting Maki's doll on fire.]]

** And finally having a successful [[color:red:Ta]][[color:gold:To]][[color:green:Ba]] Kick, against Uva, no less, whom even the two Births didn't stand a chance against.

** Uva gets a small one by saying "I don't need more" (in reference to Medals). Yes, a being made of pure greed and desire decided that he had enough.
** Eiji and Ankh teaming up as Putotyra and Ankh's full Greeed form to kick ass and save innocent people from the mass of Yummies atacking civilians.
** And Eiji delivering a full Giga Scan with his purple Medals in [[color:red:[=TaJaDor=]]] form, while having Ankh fight with him side-by-side in spirit.
** Let's not forget the moment where Eiji absorbs all his cell medals into the Medagaburyu, in order to deliver an insanely powerful, spinning Grand Of Rage to Giru/Maki. [[spoiler: Maki gets un-killed by the... thing that Uva became right after it, but still, that was impressive.]] Plus, Maki even pointed out that Eiji would hurt himself doing that move... but he still pulled it off fabulously.
** Listen carefully to the OOO Driver as Eiji henshin's into [=TaJaDol=] for the last time. The voice is not that of the usual Akira Kushida, but Ankh! Pretty much drives the point home that they're now truly fighting together.
*** Not just that, but if you look closely at the Taka medal symbol during the henshin sequence, you can see it's not the usual red, but the same gradient as Anhk's wings.
** Dr. Maki gets one as well. Taking Kiyo-chan off his shoulder and telling off Kougami as he does so. Considering that this is the guy who uses Kiyo-chan as a surrogate and how he freaks out if someone knocks him off his shoulder, this is a pretty awesome bit of CharacterDevelopment.

** How about the simple fact they [[spoiler:shot Maki with a '''BLACK HOLE!''']] That alone is insanely awesome!
*** ''Ahem.'' That was a ''flaming'' [[spoiler: black hole]].

* The birth of [[color:red:[=TaJaDor=]]] in ''Movie War CORE''. Just as it looks like Eiji's about to be defeated, he rises from the water and not only holds off Core, but causes [=CycloneJokerXtreme=] to become Gold once more, buying both Riders enough time to set up their finishers.
* The preview for OOO's summer movie shows a brief scene of Kamen Rider OOO [[color:red:Ta]][[color:gold:To]][[color:green:Ba]] Combo posing alongside his SEVEN single colored Combo forms. [[Series/KamenRiderDenO Say, haven't we seen this kind of thing before]]?
** The actual scene pretty much plays out an early WMG to the letter - OOO goes into [[color:green:[=GataKiriBa=]]] form, summons a ton of clones, and the Core Medals are divided between them to summon all OOO full combos simultaneously. What pushes this into [=CMoA=] territory is the fact that [[spoiler:''it's an EnemyMine moment,'' with the Greeed donating Core Medals to make it possible]].
** [[color:orange:[=BuraKaWani=]]]'s debut in the movie. His battle includes using kicks with projections of a biting crocodile, blocking with his arm shields, and playing a flute to summon a giant cobra from the cobra head. He then finishes the Nue yummy with a sliding rider kick.
** Series/KamenRiderFourze ''[[DynamicEntry arriving in a fireball]]'' to help OOO out. The whole scene reflects the atmosphere of the Fourze series ''perfectly''.
*** Better yet, unlike the previous two times, he doesn't make Gara suffer TheWorfEffect, he fights him briefly then does a FastballSpecial with OOO, giving OOO the momentium to land a critical blow on Gara.
** How Eiji outdoes the BigBad Gara before that certainly counts. [[spoiler:He offers himself in place of the civilians being harvested for Cell Medals, and ''singlehandedly overloaded Gara's DoomsdayDevice.'']]
*** Kougami gets an assist on that one, having been the one to trick the big bad into making it happen (and magnificent bastard that he is, his reaction makes it clear that yes, it totally was his plan all along).

** Eiji seemingly taking a level in badass and fighting decently untransformed.
** Ankh [[spoiler: from the future]] reuniting with Eiji, allowing him to take on the mantle of OOO again.
** Satonaka once again showing her combat capabilities, twice in the chapter too.
** OOO showing that he can perfectly go toe-to-toe with Poseidon, who has shown the ability to beat both Gotou and Date as Birth at once.

** Gotou and Date, despite their injuries, still determined to come and help out defeating Poseidon.
** Miharu finally defeating his fear and transforms into Kamen Rider Aqua, showing some kickin' jet ski skills and helps OOO to finally defeat Poseidon.

** OOO's transforms into Super [=TaToBa=] and Fourze into Rocket States battling against the Super Galaxy King.

*** Any of those battles before this could count, from Double's rapid chain of transformations and Maximum Drives, OOO using every combo at his disposal to destroy the army of mooks, Fourze cycling through his switches, also to take out the mooks, and the seven legendary Kamen Riders and Aqua destroying the dummies of the Dopants and Greeed created by Kannagi.
* In Movie Wars Ultimatum, Eiji pulls a BigDamnHeroes to save Koyomi when she's threatened by some mooks, beating them down ''untransformed and barehanded''. He then leads Birth, Double, and Accel into the Underworld to help out Wizard and the Fourze Riders, and does the most damage to the villains' transport thanks to the return of Burakawani and Putotyra. And then he goes Super Tatoba and, along with the other OOO and Double Riders, plus Meteor and Nadeshiko, enacts a sextuple Rider Kick to finish said transport off.
* In Let's Go Kamen Riders after General Black is killed by OOO, all of his brother Riders run in and the entire Kamen Rider Legion poses, showing why they'll never die.
** And then, when [[spoiler: Great Leader Colossus, the true form of Shocker's Great Leader]] finally appears and proves too much for every main Rider in the show's history to handle, a combination BigDamnHeroes and BigDamnVillains moment occurs when ''every single other Rider from the show's history, good'' '''''[[EnemyMine and evil]]''''' arrives, and together they mount up on their motorcycles and charge, striking the ultimate villain down with a salute to the show's 40 years of awesomeness: [[FinishingMove The All-Rider Break.]]

** Also, the novel heavily implies that the show's epilogue, where Eiji talks long-distance with the others, takes place in a barren desert because ''he just single-handedly stopped said war there.'' '''That''' is the true power of OOO.
*** More impressive? Eiji doesn't kill anyone, even ''saving'' the enemy pilots of the air force he brings down.

* The Complete Selection Modification release of the OOO Driver is slated to not only come with every medal ever released, and several shown onscreen that didn't get releases, including the Super Medals, but several medals that weren't released ''at all'', yet found in the driver's sound files. Not only that, they made ''entirely new'' medals to go with them to make them full combos with their own songs, names, and illustrated designs. If this is the end of the line for OOO, his toyline certainly went out with a bang.

** Earlier on, Gamel gets a surprisingly-decent shot in at Dr. Maki, who has been established as being horrifically powerful, when he callously dismisses Mezool's death. He also manages to keep going for an entire episode despite Maki's return blow damaging his Core Medals. It takes a double Breast Cannon from Date and Goto to finally put him down for good. And even then, he still doesn't go down for a moment or two.

** Earlier on, Gamel gets a surprisingly-decent shot in at Dr. Maki, who has been established as being horrifically powerful, when he callously dismisses Mezool's death.

** However that just makes it that much more awesome when Eiji as [[color:purple:[=PuToTyra=]]] cracks one of his Lion cores and causes his eventual demise when Dr. Maki in his now fully complete Greeed form rips out all but that medal leaving him to bleed out cells until he finally deforms and the Lion Core shatters completely. And considering everything he's done over the series I think we can all agree that he ''won't'' be missed.

* Ankh in generally is one for the special effects team. Despite being just an arm prop, they're able to make him amazingly expressive through his movements. Very well done.

* #36: Eiji finally gains control of [[color:purple:[=PuToTyra=]]], but is still able to hold his own against the revived Mezool and Gamel, Uva, and the Unicorn Yummy. It's also the debut of its Combo Theme, [[AwesomeMusic "POWER to TEARER"]].

* #38: Gotou finally transforming into Birth and epically [[CurbStompBattle Curb Stomping]] Kazari, Mezool and Gamel all the while the song [[AwesomeMusic Reverse/Re:birth]] is playing in the background.

* #6: [[color:green:[=GataKiriBa=]]] debut, complete with a finishing attack involving several clones of OOO's that puts the [[Series/KamenRiderDecade All Rider Kick]] to shame. As if it's not enough, the debut of "[[CrowningMusicOfAwesome Gotta Keep It Real]]" pushed the scene up [[RunningGag three times]] higher.

* Take a look at all the scenes of Ankh perched in a tree or high off the ground. Now look at those again but with the knowledge that his actor ''[[WhyDidItHaveToBeSnakes is afraid of heights]]''. The only thing that gives this away at all is that you can occasionally see one of his hands tightly wrapped around something to brace himself. He's also reportedly afraid of water which makes scenes where he has to jump into some very impressive as well.

*** More impressive? Eiji doesn't kill anyone, even ''saving'' the enemy pilots of the air force he brings down.

** If you watch closely, [[{{Badass}} Uva manages to avoid Kazari's attack.]]

*** More impressive? OOO doesn't kill anyone, even ''saving'' the enemy pilots of the air force he brings down.

** Also, the novel heavily implies that the show's epilogue, where Eiji talks long-distance with the others, takes place in a barren desert because ''he just single-handedly stopped said war there.'' '''That''' is the true power of OOO.

* #34: Ankh [[IncrediblyLamePun single-handedly]] stops [[color:purple:[=PuToTyra's=]]] rampage by blocking [[color:purple:Medagobbler's]] blade with his Greeed arm, then forces the belt to eject the medals back into Eiji's body.

* #34: Ankh [[IncrediblyLamePun single-handedly]] stops [[color:purple:[=PuToTyra's=]]] rampage by blocking [[color:purple:Medagabryu's]] blade with his Greeed arm, then forces the belt to eject the medals back into Eiji's body.

** Eiji finally obtains a full set of Ankh's red medals and uses their combo, TaJaDor. The form itself is already extremely badass, but then its theme song, [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FRfQPHZtcMQ Time Judged All]], kicks in and takes it to the next level.
