| I didn't get it why Tem panicked and started running away after Riz just told him he didn't take his pills. It wasn't stated that bears get insane and bloodthirsty if they don't take pills even once. It only was said that it restrained their strength. Was it a plothole? So, Riz can't kill Legoshi and Pina because they are club members and it may provoke the further investigation. He has to come up with something else. Trying to threaten Haru, for example? Also, seems that snake girl has disappeared for good. |

| The revelations has coming, in such a fast and sudden way! Hoo-boy Legosi confronted it without any regrets, and then, that goat! Lol I never expect before that huge bear needed some suppressor drug to decreasing their muscle mass. I wonder if the Panda man had it too as his secret. So, thats what happened, behind his calm and silent personality. Man, intense af, but also its truly beautiful. Because once again its involved the wrong relations between the herbivore and carnivore. Riz was not Legosi afterall that can hold his jaw off, or even Bill with his easy-going through the black market place. He was under the drug effect, and a falsified view toward Tem. Ofc its led him into that incident, the bloody end that not even any animals could understand that without a good neutral perspective. The true meaning of a never vanished memories, surrounded that bear boy.... Wow, can't denied by myself that Pina scene was just a hype, and their reaction, Legosi and Riz, truly beyond my imagination. Its only the beginning, idk whats happened next. So imma curious what else they got at those chain-reaction incidents, including how Bill got a good part too there. Good shit.... |

| I don't know how to feel about everything being revealed in the same episode strangely and suddenly like this. From a mystery point of view and seeing how this whole incident was set up from the very first episode, this was kind of disappointment. There should have been multiple suspects and scattered hints or red herrings in some cases from the beginning to make this more exciting and interesting. That aside, I like the idea of how the murder actually happened. |
| Wow, we got a lot of amazing insight on some characters this episode. I liked the sequence with Bill and Els a ton. I feel that Bill represents the grey area, where he still has relationships with and empathizes with herbivores, but also gives into his primal instincts and frequents the black market. And even after that, he understands the herbivores' worries and doesn't blame them. I love the little developments he's been getting. The arm getting ripped off part was so unsettling to watch. I felt so terrible for all the parties involved. You could tell that Tao felt really bad about it, and that most carnivores worst fear is becoming untrustworthy among their herbivore peers Riz's characterization was amazing too. I liked that they made the reveal sort of blunt instead of building it up, because it was obviously him. He's such a tragic character though, you can't help but reluctantly feel for him. He genuinely just wanted to grow closer with Tem. It's so sad. 10/10 episode. |
 |
| Wow, this was intense! We finally know the killer. Tem's behaviour really confused me, though. |
 |
| Pretty disappointed with this reveal. There should have more suspects. Tem and many others were acting out of character this episode. Sad..... |
| Send me Friend requests!!!! |
| Wow that confrontation of legoshi was great and just straightworked , seems the mystery ends here but we got Riz's side of the story which was pretty well done , the pills were kinda confusing but , it was interesting to see Riz's perception when he mistook Tem's cries for help there. literaturenerd said: Lol , that was funnyI knew it! Xi Jinping is the murderer! |
| Awesome episode. Incredible work by Orange as usual. Animation, direction, music, acting and everything else was on point. Really like the pacing here too. Shit is going to continue to get crazy. I love this arc. |
| I don't get those feeling bad for Riz, sure everything is fine even after he stops taking the pills, he's young, he's bound to make mistakes out of naivety and even he grabbing Tem's arm out of some sort of panic of trying to explain to his friend his true self, but after he crushed Tem's arm and started to run after him there's no argument to be made why he would do that other than sheer stupidity since we've seen the other club members know to not follow a prey knowing they might snap and fall for their insticts even if they don't mean to. On another note, the idea of segregation is so stupid and Els gives an answer as to why so beautifully, ofcourse if you don't mingle with the "other" you'll never get to understand them and see them as people and avoiding any conflict that might surface out of differences is cowardice, later they could argue that having small hervivores along larger one is dangerous since they could stomp them out of existance, then those with horns should have theirs removed since it could be dangerous and so on. |

| That was disturbing as hell. Uncontrollable strength is scary. |
| They screwed up the writing in this episode in regards to build-up and pay-off, in my opinion. Not that the manga did much better, but I'd think they'd have improved upon it. There was no tension before and after the reveal, it comes across like 'well, remember that one background character no one ever paid mind to and neither did we, guess what, friend?' However, the final flashback was beautifully done, it hit hard and good, although a bit too crass and obvious what it was going to happen when Tem does an 180 to' accept' Riz. |
 |
| OMG! That was brutal! O_o It's heartbreaking to know that Riz, just like Legoshi, are good friends with Tem, and then the bear does this... If only Riz didn't stop to take those pills :( Intense episode! |

| Damn, what are these creatures made of! Pulling someone's limb off requires quite a lot of force, it's not something you do casually. |
| I didn't expect this much to be revealed in a single episode. Well, that's how Tim's murder happened. I felt really bad for Riz even though he's the culprit. He just wanted to have a friend who he could show the real him but his instincts got the better of him. It was an amazing episode. |

el3mel said: Considering the mystery was present since the first episode/chapter of Beastars and it was the first main conflict, lingering in the background of everything else, plus how central it has been to Legosi's character so far and from here, I don't think a bigger meal could even be made out of it, lest the whole story turns into a food bank.

I don't feel like the mystery of who the murderer is was in any way the main theme of this case to get annoyed about the reveal being so casual imo. From the moment Legoshi was attacked and from the silhouette of the attacker it was obvious it'll be someone huge in size. Once I saw this bear I said "has to be this one", he's the only one who fits this simple criteria. Dragging it any further or making a meal out of it would have been weird since it was so obvious so Legoshi should also figure it as easily as the viewer for it to make sense. |

| You wanna hate Riz but you can't. Wow he jsut fucked up and made a critical mistake that led to lost of life. No wonder Pina isn't gonna snitch on him as he is already suffering. This show is so damn sad in parts man. Legosi gonna have to tell the snake and will become a Beastar. |
| I haven't updated in years but now I have changed that. I'll be free soon. |
| Why Riz isn't even listed on the Characters page here on MAL? lol He's probably my top 5 favorite characters of the show. |
| holy SHIT this episode was SO MUCH. The arm scene was so cleverly done... I thought it was going to be revealed as a prop prank. i didn't imagine this mystery being revealed like this at all.... Tragic friendship (romance?) holy shit Itagaki... |
| Holy shit, this episode hit hard. Their confidence in each other was their downfall. I felt really bad, because it basically murder with a motive of love. Don't skip your meds, kids. |
| Very depressing episode 10/10 |
 |
| What was the reason behind Kibi letting Legoshi carry them to the nurse? Because he's dating Haru? Or is there something else I'm missing? |
| Leaves from the vine~ |

Also, seems that snake girl has disappeared for good. Rix wasn't chasing after Tem with the intent to kill, he was just trying to have a conversation. When they both embraced eachother, Riz squeezed Tem to death as a result of him not taking his pills and when he saw a dead body covered in blood, his instincts kicked in. I think it makes enough sense for it to not be considered a plothole. No no, I was talking about Tem's reaction alone as a plothole. Did he have reasons to start running away? Riz wasn't threatening him. I think that Riz's instincts kicked even earlier, when he smelled the blood from Tem's damaged arm. Also, they didn't embrace each other and Riz didn't squeeze him by hugging, he straight up murdered and ate him. You can rewatch that scene at the first episode of first season. Here's some spoiler: |

Stuzfin said: What was the reason behind Kibi letting Legoshi carry them to the nurse? Because he's dating Haru? Or is there something else I'm missing? I guess you just think too much. Legoshi is a timid and calm-looking person and has reputation of a nice and harmless guy, and Kibi also knows him well as a club comrade, that's all. |
|
| Fucking brutal episode, jesus. That's all I can really say. |
| I don’t know if I like or not what happened this episode. Let’s see what’s going to happen from now on. |
 |
| Damn man! I thought when Kibi had his arm ripped off, it was just Legoshi hallucinating. But then the scene just kept going and going. And was just sitting there like holy sh*t! They did a good job painting Riz in this sort of grey area. Because it makes you wonder if this would have happened if the bears didn't have to take these drugs in the first place. I mean they have were worrying about size & strength, they must have forgot elephants in this world. And then that last part with Riz & Tem... Was the final hug real or was it a hallucination as a withdraw symptom from the drugs? Either way with all this drama, I'm excited from the next ep! |

“You should enjoy the little detours to the fullest. Things more important then what your hunting for, could be right there on the side of the road.”  |
| probably the best episode of beatsars yet that was inane. things got tense so quick and the reveal of the murderer literally started stressing me out, the ending was hideous as we finally learn the truth of tem, if things continue similar to this episode im giving it a 10 |
| Shocks!!! I remember a story about a guy who eat the girl he loves. It's so creepy!!! Riz became crazy already. How can you eat someone so important to you!! I didn't notice him until now, I always suspected the tiger but a bear did the crime!?! Bear is a cute huge animals :( |
| Proverbs 4:23 Above all else, guard your heart, for everything you do flows from it. |
| so that dark greyish lion or tiger? is the true culprit from the case of Tem huh... looks like even Legosi is no match against that cuplrit! damn getting more intense! 5/5. EDIT: oh!...the cuplrit's name is Riz... |
 |
HazelShonenFan said: Was the final hug real or was it a hallucination as a withdraw symptom from the drugs? No, it was not real. If you are interested, you can rewatch that same scene at first episode of first season. |

| damn this world is really just fucked up ̶h̶̶a̶̶h̶̶a̶̶ ̶̶l̶̶i̶̶k̶̶e̶̶ ̶̶o̶̶u̶̶r̶̶ ̶̶w̶̶o̶̶r̶̶l̶̶d̶ for some reason i had the impression that legosi was the one that killed tem all this time. so like watching him trying to find the culprit im just 🤡 |
