While on his way to save Ankh from being completely absorbed by Ankh (Lost), Eiji crosses paths with Maki. Though Eiji tries to escape, Maki blocks his way while revealing the purple Core Medals are turning him into a Greeed. After the Ankylosaurus Yummy escaped them, overhearing Maki telling Eiji the tell-tale signs of Greeedification and how advanced his own is, Kamen Rider Birth and Satonaka manage to save Eiji before Maki can rip the Core Medals out of him.
