There’s spoilers for Beastars Season 2 below. Read at your own risk beyond this point.
Finally got the chance to watch the second season of Beaststars, and honest-to-heavens, Ibuki’s death feels so unnecessary to me.
I lowkey have to wonder if he was a death seeker of sorts; maybe he was getting tired of being in the Lion Mafia?
Ibuki gives Louis the choice to either shoot him or be devoured— this was because Louis was going to leave the Shishigumi, right? Gotta make sure that he doesn't spill any of their secrets, or what not.
That's fine.
But,, when Free kills Ibuki before he can devour Louis, he just lets Louis go, and tells him to never come back?..
Louis is completely free to get back to as normal a life as he can enjoy; nevermind the fact that he could technically spill the Shishigumi’s wrongdoings (doubt he would do it, but it's always a possibility) to an officer at any given moment.
Hell, pretty sure (in the manga at least), Louis returns to the Back Alley Market with,, little to no repercussions for it?
I dunno,, just feels like Ibuki had a dramatic ass death for nothing.
