Yasuko Kobayashi Month: Kamen Rider OOO Episode 5 Analysis

This analysis will be brief as there was only really one scene I liked in this essentially two part episode.
The episode really gets you thinking about the characters. Everyone except regretably OOO is a little dark, creating Greed that is essentially destroying the city. The female Greed's friend that buy so much that you find on later on in the episode. In addition, Ankh is a dark pharoahish character, while Mr. Cake Kougami is essentially a big corporate guy: two big powerful Illuminati-ish figures.
You hear me say a lot about the Illuminati and I'm a 99%er, etc.. However, this episode's approach to explaining the rich is a little bit too diluted. Rich people buying cheap products and their expendability.
Sure, we probably wouldn't see Shotaro Ishinomori writing pro-1% shows when he was taking over, and it's a little fishy that a company like Bandai/Toei would write something like this, but we still have to examine in the series what exactly is Kougami and Ankh's ideals, as well as hidden subtexts in the show the writers/directors might've gotten away with prior to the executives stopping the auteur from acting further.
"It's a cheap product. Maybe it suits you better."
Furthermore it seems like it is actually the female protagonist's friends who are discriminating, albeit it may be a bit of spirituality, environmentalism or Shintoism that was brought up in their culture that taught them not to waste and that everything has a use.

"Why can't she live in a rich school?"
It is sort of discriminatory and stereotyping to analyze the person rich, so she can do anything rather than analyzing habits she may have gained that are later analyzed in the episode. Sure, they're not worth while, but the lesson is still to be learned there.
It is possible that she just grew up the wrong way.
Heck, many non-rich people buy things that they do not need in the US only to throw it away. The US is a major consumer based economy, where everybody buys things they don't need.

Also, OOO needs underwear and candy. OOO Japan!
