A planet with it's ocean covered in sand. This is the world where beastmen live. At the same time, it's also the world where enslaved humans reside.
There are two types of humans.
Ones that are suitable to wear fake ears, and ones that are not.
Don't mimic me -kuma.
There's no such saying -kuma.
Whatever you say... but why do I have to wear this too?
This is a beastman city after all, it's safer to disguise ourselves.
But those fake ears do look good on you.
You are the type that is suitable to wear fake ears after all.
Like I said, there's no such saying -kuma.
Is it really ok to set our destination on Springland?
Even though it's the closest to Bonak.
Normally, They'd avoid Springland and escape to Summer or Autumnland.
But they're not stupid.
They think that they know what we're thinking.
So I think we should go to Springland.
Can't it be that you're thinking too much?
You may think so, but I don't think they're that smart.
If they're not that smart then it...
Must be the will of the destruct code.
There are two types of human.
So where are we going now -kuma?
Where is this journey's final destination -kuma?
I told you already, only the destruct code itself knows.
It'll lead us on the path to world destruction.
Then are all the hardships we've faced so far also led by that thing -kuma?
But whatever the case may be, it was right to come to Springland.
It feels good to eat at places with good weather and temperature after all.
How can you be saying such leisurely things? We're wanted criminals.
Isn't that all YOUR fault -kuma?
I heard that Springland is a place with beautiful Sakura Blossom trees. However I don't see any.
I thought I could've enjoyed that.
Are you guys traveling beastmen?
Yes!
The Sakura Blossom trees in this city have all been cut down.
Legends say that only Sakura Blossom trees that sucked the blood of Beastmen can bloom here.
I've often heard those superstitions -kuma.
Legends in my village say that there are beastman corpses underneath the Sakura Blossom tree -kuma.
You're right, no one takes it seriously because it's only a legend.
However, the new village head frog says it's a bad omen and cut down all the Sakura Blossom trees.
Yoshi-sama.
Umm?
The World Salvation Committee will reach Port Beto tonight.
And will arrive here tomorrow morning.
The World Salvation Committee...
I really don't want them to make trouble on my land.
Ah, I was originally looking forward to the flower viewing.
Didn't I already say that we're not here to view flowers?
What're you doing?
This.
It's a Sakura Blossom.
It's over there -kuma!
Why is this the only uncut Sakura Blossom tree?
I don't know but I can finally flower-view now.
And don't always make that face, relax a little.
Us coming to Springland should also be the will of the Destruct Code.
Maybe the Destruct Code wants to flower-view too.
How can that be.
The Sakura Blossom tree that sucks Beastmen blood -kuma... that can't be true -kuma...
There's no way, it must be a superstition -kuma...
Kuma!!!
Maybe Toppi's afraid!?
How can that be -kuma? Don't do such ridiculous things -kuma.
Ah, I might've done something bad...
D-Don't get near me -kuma.
What did you do!
You should admit that you did it -kuma.
You're right...
Sorry! I broke it.
What is that supposed to mean...
Can it be?
Is it ok?
Ah, I broke this.
That's enough admitting -kuma. Something's not right -kuma.
Let's get something to eat -kuma.
A human?
Who are you?
I'm sorry if I frightened you. But I was suppose to meet someone here.
What's going on -kuma?
Maybe everyone believes in the legend of the blood sucking Sakura Blossom tree.
Maybe we can buy something to eat there.
Sorry to interrupt, but can we buy something to eat?
Don't come near me.
Welcome, I sell rare foods from all over the world.
From that time...
It's the transporter, Agan -kuma!
Ah, it's you two, so we meet again.
It seems that you guys have escaped from the pleasure ship.
Hey you two, isn't that a branch of the only Sakura Blossom tree in the city?
Yeah.
Do you know something -kuma?
What's with this Sakura Blossom branch, everyone seems to run away from it.
So you guys broke that Sakura Blossom tree...
Yeah, we went flower-viewing. It was only an accident.
That Sakura Blossom tree is also known as the Cursed Tree. Every beastman around this area fears it.
Cursed Sakura Blossom tree?
Yeah. It's said that those who tried to cut, or break it's branches will face all sorts of unfortunate events.
Up until now, there have been many beastmen that have died in the hands of that tree.
That's why there's only one uncut Sakura Blossom tree in the city.
I've never heard such a thing.
Don't worry -kuma. That's why it's called a legend -kuma.
Well, I've never believed it.
If you want food, take the ones there.
Thanks.
But there's always some truth to the legend. Be careful.
Yeah, we should be carefu-
Help!
This is bad Morute, this tree is said to be the cursed tree.
What're we gonna do?
Like I said, anyone who breaks it's branch or harms the Sakura Blossom tree will receive great punishment.
Well...
It's getting worse -kuma.
Don't panic.
Who is this person?
Nice to meet you, I'm Jade, I live on the other side of this hill in the forests.
I spread that rumour into the village. It was a made up story.
So rest assured, nothing unfortunate will come to you.
Why spread such a rumor -kuma?
To protect this Sakura Blossom tree from being cut down by beastmen.
Are you a human?
Who are you people?
We're from the World Salvation Committee. Have you seen people from the World Destruction Committee?
Info for money. Buying some stuff works too.
Do you know who you're talking to?
Then let's get two of those Sand-fish. Don't bother with the change.
I have seen them here.
But I suggest you guys to not approach them.
Because they broke the Cursed Sakura Blossom tree's branch.
Cursed Sakura Blossom tree?
Yeah, if you're not careful, you'll be dragged into it too.
Don't worry, unscientific things such as a curse do not exist in this world.
Truthfully, I was suppose to meet someone under this tree.
Is it a woman -kuma?
Yes, my lover.
We originally lived peacefully at a small village in Bonak.
Until one day, a Beastman burned the village.
The villagers were bravely fighting, but they could not beat the beastmen.
Before the last sudden attack, we promised to meet if we escaped,
on the hill outside of Water City, Springland, under the Sakura Blossom tree.
Then, did you reunite with her?
No, that's why I couldn't let this Sakura Blossom tree be cut.
But it seems she couldn't come today either.
Whatever the case may be -kuma,
Retribution or curse, they don't exist -kuma.
That's not good Toppi.
What's wrong -kuma?
Everyone in the village knows that I broke off a branch of the tree.
If nothing happens to me, then no one would believe Jade's rumor any more.
You don't know if anythings gonna happen.
Maybe some Super-tragedy is going to befall on you.
W-what're you saying -kuma?
Maybe Morute believes in the legend.
You think so?
Curse or retribution, they're all lies -kuma.
It's too late to worry now -kuma.
But, if this goes on, the tree will be cut down.
We can't just let this go after all.
Wa, I got bird dump on me.
Ah, Ow, the flower vase dropped on my head.
What is this -kuma?
It's a script.
By saying not letting it go, this is all you came up with for the whole night -kuma?
Yeah, if there are no curses or punishments in reality, we'll just make them.
First, we need a crowded place.
O yea, it's best if frogman sees it.
Then let's go to the road in front of the frog head's house.
There, bird dump will be dropped on Toppi's head.
I'll be the one dropping it of course.
Toppi will then scream.
Upon hearing the scream, the frogman in the house will come out.
Next, it'll be the flower vase.
I'll be the one dropping it of course.
Wait -kuma. Why am I the one getting hurt -kuma?
There's nothing else we can do. Morute wouldn't help us on these things.
Don't worry, I'll act dead with you at the end.
Then Toppi will scream and go to the river where we'll meet.
Screaming "hurry and run away from this place!"
Then we'll ride on the prepared boat.
The boat actually has a hole made beforehand.
Why do I have to act out these weird plays with you -kuma?
It's ok, this is all for Jade and his girlfriend's meeting.
It's REAL bird dump?
Realism is very important in these situations.
Ok Mr.chicken, take your time.
Not out yet, kuma?
Eh, that's weird. Maybe it dumped already.
That's the World Salvation Committee, kuma.
Great Toppi, start screaming.
Found you...
You bastard!
Wake up -kuma!
What's happening?
that's.. from yesterday...
Can such a thing actually be real?
Toppi, why are you always running?
If we beat her... Our script would be wasted -kuma.
Kuma!
It's already wasted.
It's got something to do with the script. Let's pretend to drown and then run, kuma.
Are you alright?
She can't catch us on water -kuma.
Next, we just need to find the right time to pretend to drown -kuma.
Where did he find that kind of boat -kuma!?
Come on, Lia.
This isn't good Toppi. We gotta speed up.
It's no good -kuma. We'll be caught like this -kuma.
What's happening... What's happening!?
Kero...
Ah, help, it's the punishment for breaking the Sakura Blossom tree.
Help -kuma. the punishment is drowning us -kuma.
It seems to have been successful.
Yeah, everyone must've believed it.
The Sakura Blossom tree will be okay now too.
Thank you.
Was it a coincidence that the bridge cracked -kuma?
It's neither punishment nor curse. But it may be a strange power at work.
Are they dead?
No.
It seems they've escaped again.
But, when did Jade start waiting for his lover?
Probably around 90 years.
90 years?
What's going on -kuma?
The war between Human and Beastman that Jade talked about,
I've heard the story from my late father that it was 90 years ago.
So to confirm it, when you guys were in the city,
I went to Jade's house on the other side.
Jade died a long time ago.
He must've always waited for his lover under the Sakura Blossom tree and became...
Then, the Jade we saw was...
Jade's still protecting the Sakura Blossom tree to wait for his lover even after death -kuma.
Can Jade's spirit ever meet his lover?
As long as that Sakura Blossom tree remains, they will -kuma.
I got split up with Kirie and the rest of the group...
Met an old friend in the huge fighting market of the city.
Reuniting with an old friend we swore together to become the hero of hero's.
But our views on money haven't met.
Next episode, World destruction 5,
There are two types of men.
Why isn't Toppi's speech followed with Kuma anymore?
Maybe a change of heart... For sure...
Kuma.
