Is it officially translated as "young'un"? I assumed he called beni "waka" which mean young master in this context not waka that means young as per dictionary
And what will happen if a second such chapter appears (or more)? Are you going to invent a 0 + n*i chapter (where n is the chronological order such chapters were released) to differentiate between them?
Depends on the bear. A panda has something resembling a thumb and enough mobility in it's phalanges to grab stuff, but while brown bears (and probably others, though I don't know jack about most of them) can move their fingers to get a better hold on stuff (for climbing and foraging, mostly), I don't think they could get a good grip on thin objects.
Then again, it could be a BS fantasy bear with octopus suckers on it's paws and jet engines up it's ass, so what do we know?
So, is 5his now considered canon since it's now in the anime, manga in flashbacks, and this one shot, or is it still noncanon because it's not in the LN?
