**NOTICE: THE FOLLOWING EXAMPLE FROM TRANSCRIPT IS UNIQUE TO THE ANIMATED SERIES!**

## Example from Transcript

Poketube: Recall what Gizell said in their testimony. "My clothes were missing."
This means Gizell never went to the party in the first place and could not be the guilty party!
Wherewolf: NOOOOOOOO!
Poketube: Furthermore, proving your guilt is Sunday Jay's alibi. He was in the bathroom. Everyone else, was in the living room. Wherewolf, as you stated, you were at the party. This is conclusive proof of your guilt!
Wherewolf: ARRGH!!!
Poketube: The final nail in the coffin for you! You ran through the halls!
Wherewolf: ?
Poketube: Think. The culprit had to run through the halls to fake an alibi. Since you told everyone about the fire almost as soon as the fire started. You had to run.
Wherewolf: NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!
Poketube: Confess your guilt, right here, right now Wherewolf. **YOU SET STAG'S HOUSE ON FIRE!**
Wherewolf: ........................... **ARGHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!** NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!

The Slayer heads to the most recently known location of the Hippagon, the forest outside of a ruined and irradiated city, checking his gear along the way.

At the top, he receives a message scratched onto a yoyo delivered by a mutated raven, which included a date and a set of coordinates.

With the Hippagon nowhere in sight, The Slayer kills the raven, along with a series of attacking monsters that followed to try to lure out the Hippagon.

After these skirmishes, the Hippagon finally arrived and charged at The Slayer. Unable to pierce the monster's scales with his normal ranged attacks, The Slayer uses his power to shoot an arrow of thorned vines into the Hippagon's mouth and then controlled the vines to destroy its intestines from the inside.

The Slayer returned to the tavern, dropping the deceased Hippagon's head onto the table of the three men from before. He then proceeded to the counter to collect his payment, and departed as quickly as he'd arrived.

Phon then reveals that The Cosmic Boon was caused by the Drazah Siblings and is likely what caused the existence of Fiends; saying that if any Fiend is upset about becoming one, they can blame her and her brother. She then addresses that since Fiends are complex to create, that people shouldn't go on murder sprees to try and become one. Lastly she once again reiterates that her and her brother have no intention of ruling the world as their parents did.

When the interview is over, Phon leaves Crihound in the basement with a few supplies, telling him that someone will be along in a few days to pick up. She also gives instructions to him about playing the tape, and threatens him should he fail.

After the news broadcast ended, the Drazah siblings resumed unpacking until the doorbell rang. The woman next door had come to greet their new neighbor with a casserole, but when she saw that it was Phon who answered the door, she attempted to call the police. Phon destroyed the woman's phone, took the casserole, and threatened the woman to never attempt to turn them in again. The next day, Drim apologized to the woman for Phon's behavior.

Discrimination

Ekam
Ahimsa
Maya
Dharma

**Discrimination** (Vyomani: 𑂄𑂧𑂹𑂣𑂎𑂰𑂞𑂲 (Ampakhati)) is the act of making unjustified distinctions between human beings based on the groups, classes, or other categories to which they belong or are perceived to belong. People may be discriminated on the basis of race, gender, religion, or sex, as well as other categories. Discrimination especially occurs when individuals or groups are unfairly treated in a way which is worse than other people are treated, on the basis of their actual or perceived membership in certain groups or social categories. It makes people impure and goes against Humanity and therefore, it is a sin. Discriminatory traditions, policies, ideas, practices and laws exist in many countries and institutions in all parts of the world, including territories where discrimination is generally looked down upon. According to the Codex of new light, discrimination is one of the biggest sins a person can commit.
