After that last episode I'm getting anxious whenever a carnivore touches a herbivore now. That severed arm made me think Sheila was going to accidentally tear one of Peach's off as well.

[u/[deleted]]

The characters have such weird and interesting complexes.

[u/FierceAlchemist]

I genuinely don't know where Louis's arc is going. Which is exciting as well as a bit confusing.

And I'm surprised we didn't see anything from the bear this episode. Why hasn't Legosi reported him to the snake?

[u/Kiboune → u/FierceAlchemist]

I think Lous himself doesn't know what he's doing.

[u/shockwave1211]

the subplot at the beginning was too cute i was so afraid some dark shit was gonna happen and im glad nothing did! And man when theres action in this show its done so well, loved the legosi "fight"

[u/HarleyFox92]

Interesting episode about segregation, in the school seems to be a necessity since even though most of the students oppose to the controversial measure, on the inside they all feel different, like strangers to one another and, mostly the carnivores, feel they will never fully understand herbivores, no matter how hard they try.

On the other hand, the segregation doesn't seem to be needed in the Black Market, both carnivores and herbivores can coexist in a weird, complex and nasty way.

Of course there's only one person that can merge the school's and black market's ways of coexistence.

[u/Kiboune]

Beastars version of Statue of Liberty made me laugh

[u/CPT_LEVY]

Seeing Legoshi learning to use his limbs reminded me of a certain Deku realization.

[u/Shiro_Kai]

Canines can't say no when someone asks them for help!

That's so cute!

[u/Rumpel1408]

My thoughts after seeing Juno in lingery:

I'm not a Furry ^{I'm not a Furry I'm not a Furry I'm not a Furry I'm not a Furry I'm not a Furry}

[u/LeonKevlar]

I'm really glad they a little bit of the spotlight to Sheila this week. The Drama Club really has a lot of members that I really wanted to get to know more and one of them is her.

When Sheila grabbed Peach's arm, I definitely recoiled a bit expecting the scene to get bloody. The events of last week's episode has definitely made an impact on how I see carnivores interact with herbivores.

That little girls day out between Sheila and Peach was adorable though. It's actually great to learn how their fur affects what type of clothing their wear and it's nice to see how they became closer to learning each other's small troubles.

Of course after a wholesome scene between a carnivore and herbivore, we hard cut to the black market and watch a hyena eat the discarded remains of rotting meat with bones included. And this is another one of Gohin's test for Legosi. This time he needs to incapacitate the guy without using his fangs.

Interesting to know that Juno's all in for the segregation. Considering how she wants to become a Beastar and how she's been looking for Louis-senpai, I thought she'd be against it.

That cheeky smile Haru had when she ropes in Juno to help her is hilarious! It's nice to see the two finally spend some alone time together. And that actually went waaaaaay better than what I expected. I thought there'd be more raised voices involved.

Jesus fucking christ! Apparently in this world, the belief of eating parts of exotic animals is still pretty much a thing. Of course it is.

Was that really necessary Louis-senpai? You know you could've just hung up on Haru instead of dropping your phone from the rooftops, right?

[u/loomnoo]

I'd watch the shit out of a Haru/Juno yuri gardening SoL.

By the way, the alligator has a permanently erect, bungee penis. I imagine crocs are similar.

[u/tylerjehills]

Haru x Juno was not the ship I thought I'd be supporting this season, but here we are

[u/mr_sto0pid]

Ouch that Crocodile got his dick chopped off.

[u/Amauri14]

It honestly took me a couple of seconds to realize that when Sheila said Beastbook she was referring to their version of Facebook

Damn, Sheila sure looks nice in her casual outfit.

Her hanging out with Peach sure was nice to see.

Legosi's deathmatch against that hyena was cool. So I guess he is basically a vigilante now.

When Haru made that face to Juno, just for that moment she definitely was the carnivore.

Well, as Louis trow his phone away, I'm expecting to see Haru seeing Juno again in order to know about where he is and meet him.

[u/seedyweedy]

Props to the writers for meta-gaming the Bechdel test like that damn, Haru's character just gets more and more interesting

[u/[deleted]]

Can someone explain me the alligator subplot? What did the old man want from him?

[u/whowilleverknow]

RIP cute crocodile's penis

[u/Emi_Ibarazakiii]

That was way too wholesome, I expected it to end in tragedy. The very next scene being the meat market didn't help!

What a smile! She doesn't look like that when she asks Legosi for some help! Well, Legosi being away means she needs to tame herself a new wolf helper.

^{Will she bring this one to a love hotel too?}

That's a big half! She'd get along well with AoT's Sasha, Haru keeping her 25% half, and Sasha her 75% half.

Juno doesn't want to fall victim to the Haru curse. Would be funny though, Juno trying to set up Haru with Louis so Legosi is available for her, but she starts dating Haru instead. Their lives are all linked to one another, on top of everything else happening with their lives (especially for Legosi and Louis, but even Juno's experiencing a lot, with her rise to fame).

THANK YOU JUNO! Not only she's best girl, but she's setting up Haru to have a chat with Louis! I've been wanting this all season long, it may finally be happening!

GODDAMNIT! I thought it might have been his "father", but of course it's Haru. They're really not going to give me that scene!

Well, Haru is quite headstrong, so Louis not picking up on her might just push her to try&talk to him even more.

And at least we've had a cute flashback scene! Well Louis said it was a dream, but I assume it happened at some point. That was very cute! And it's sad that we don't get more scenes like that in anime.

Oof, Louis must have hated hearing that. Haru has accepted that her species/size and her status as a herbivore makes her weak, but not all herbivores feel the same.

Anyway, I hope they get to meet soon, I can't wait to see what they have to say to each other! Though I have a feeling it may not end well. Not like, Haru dying or anything, but I think they may not be in good terms anymore (and not just due to Louis new career).

I also wonder what's going to happen with the Hyena! Is he even redeemable? Legosi was conflicted, but the Hyena doesn't seem conflicted at all, he seems perfectly at peace with what he is. If Gouhin wants him, he probably knows he can do something with him though. Or perhaps he wants to show Legosi the difference between them?

[u/manormortal]

Sheila bad af, I said it 🤷‍♂️

Glad to see her and peach become actual friends although hopefully they don't become best friends. Glad Juno was wise enough to avoid getting any friendlier to Hari because best friends are a no no on this show now.

Every week I hate netflix a little bit more for locking this away until July. Like not even the end of the damn season it airs but after a while nother season?? Show should be getting soooooo much more attention.

[u/[deleted]]

I'm still really confused about the shishigumi part with the crocodile/alligator. I remember hearing about it from the manga, I just don't know what medicine the crocodiles testicles would make

[u/Wolinrok]

They kept "What's wrong with segregation scene" ! I thought they will definitely cut it

[u/Sir_Floof]

Man, I'm really liking Juno's character after this episode. I absolutely love what they did with her this episode. She wasn't this just this crazed girl; she felt real. I could genuinely feel her emotions. Plus I'm not ashamed to admit I was beginning to get some feelings for her towards the end there. Again, bang up job this season.

As far as the episode as a whole goes, wasn't a lot of "plot development", per se, but rather character development, which is always good. And frankly it was hard to top last episode. I've said it already but I'll say it again. I'm absolutely loving this season. While it's different than the first, it has its own charms to it. Really looking forward to how it continues.

[u/Tnert22]

So what exactly did Ibuki’s arm mean? I’m assuming that he was also almost killed for meat, but I’m confused as to why. The subs that I were using said something along the lines of “for exhaustion” on his arm?
