The Batta Yummy (バッタヤミー, Batta Yamī) is a grasshopper Yummy that was one of Uva's Yummy.
History[]
It was created by Uva by using the desires of Susumu Kanbayashi (神林 進, Kanbayashi Susumu, portrayed by Mitsunori Isaki), a father with a sense of justice who attended law school and failed to pass the board exam as a prosecutor. As a result, the Batta Yummy develops a warped hero mentality and attacks anyone who Susumu considers evil, attacking Kamen Riders OOO and Birth when they interfere. Managing to evade Kamen Rider OOO Takajaba's Giga Scan due to Susumu's dependence, the Batta Yummy continues his attack on untouchable criminals as Susumu begins to see realize too late that his desire for justice is making him as much of a monster as those he wants to take down. After talking Susumu to not to rely on justice but instead on protecting those dear to him, Eiji becomes Kamen Rider OOO Tajadol Combo and uses his Giga Scan to incinerate the Batta Yummy. It was able to move at superhuman speeds, jump high into the air, and emit electricity from its antennae.
Later History[]
Kamen Rider Wizard[]
The Batta Yummy was one of Amadum's monsters in the world within the Magic Stone. With the Arch Orphnoch and Alternative Zero, they attacked and defeated Beast when he intruded in Amadum's lair as he planned to harness the Kamen Riders power, forcing Beast to his proper place in space and time. The three monsters later appeared to capture the young Haruto and Koyomi, fighting off Haruto, Rinko, and Shunpei, when they tried to stop them. They brought the children to Amadum as Tsukasa Kadoya gave him the thirteenth and last Rider Ring (Fourze). The Kamen Riders refused to fight Haruto, saying they fought for human freedom and not just justice, engaging Amadum's monsters. The Batta Yummy, Arch Orphnoch and Alternatives 01, along with several other monsters, were destroyed by Wizard and Decade. [Neverending Story]

Notes[]
- The Batta Yummy, besides being based on the same insect as most Kamen Riders, bears a strong resemblance to Kamen Rider Shin and Kamen Rider Black (Batta man form). He also says "Toh!" when he jumps, like the early Kamen Riders. This homage is no coincidence, as OOO had recently entered 2011, the 40th anniversary year of the Kamen Rider Series.
- The Batta Yummy is one of three Yummy (the others being Kuwagata and Kamakiri) whose motif corresponds with one of Uva's three Core Medals which are used by Kamen Rider OOO to assume Gatakiriba Combo.
- The Batta Yummy's head was reused for a member of the Another Agito horde in Kamen Rider Zi-O. Though it was mostly replaced by Another Agito's head in post-production, the original head can be briefly seen on the Another Agito fighting Kamen Rider Woz. [2001: Awaken, that Agito!]
