BEASTARS - Vol. 19 Ch. 162 - An Early Afternoon with a Good Wife and a Wise Mother

Nice to see that Melon's brand of crazy was hereditary.
Now Legosi just need to kick his ass already and we'll be golden

 

[SpookiLurkr]

I still prefer the explanation that a (water)melon is (herbivore) green on the outside, and (carnivore) red on the inside.

I also still find it odd that Melon’s sense of taste is dulled. Like, is it because gustation is polygenic and he just ended up not having effective taste buds, or is his eating experience being affected psychologically?

 

[Limite90]

WOW

 

[tanktanktank]

Jesus fucking christ

 

[Taerene]

wtf

 

[IJustMadeThisToComment]

Dude he just killed his mom when he was like... What 8? Holy shit man.

 

[mona456]

Hoo boy

 

[ReaperCreeper]

Going hard with the nature vs nurture.

 

[Moodyz]

Ah, yes, the obligatory "we insist you understand and sympathize with villain" hook.
Yeah, I'm sure Donald Trump also had issues growing up and blames his hairline on his parents. Doesn't make his combover any less obnoxious to look at.

 

[AnonDePlume]

I don’t think all villain backstories are necessarily meant to rack up sympathy, but to explain how they got so twisted.

 

[AnonDePlume]

@Spookilurkr I know I’m getting into game theory levels of speculation, but it’s possible it’s because he’s a cat hybrid. Cats are unable to taste anything sweet, but I’m not sure why he can’t taste meat.

 

[HCO]

I grew up a fuckin' screw up

 

[Geurjakha]

So wikipedia says that melons are a type of berry, and berries are a type of fruit, so... can the translator explain what she meant?

 

[SalahadinPL]

Won't cry for him, he is one fu**** up melon.

 

[chipusu]

Melons not being fruits, are they talking about melon-pan or what? 🤔

 

[Kigol]

@Moodyz that wasn't supposed to make me laugh so much

 

[Tikibo]

Author went so full retard that the melon isn't a fruit now. I feel like a person reading edgy PC backstory for a TTRPG.

 

[thegentelman]

naming him tomato would have made more sense

 

[Vrizu]

@thegentelman
Yeah cause tomato is technically a berry yet mainly being treated as veggies in cuisine.

 

[mickhail]

So... No remorse killing Melon now, right?

Just imagining a Wolf/Rabbit hybrid stand brutalizing Melon with Legosi Jojo-posing behind it! A shame I don't have the time for trying a fanart of this now...

Also, I don't get this thing about melons not being fruits. Is it something lost in translation? I saw a scene in a Ghibli movie where the people was REALLY amazed seeing/tasting a pineapple for the first time, but the movie is older than me and I can't imagine they not being used to melons with all the "melon pan" thing in animes!
