## Synopsis

Louis forces Ogma to sign him off the school, which Ogma grants willingly, believing that Louis is just going through a rebellious phase. Legoshi fights his instincts due to the training that Gohin has imposed on him. However, he realizes that what he faces is "someone who was once alive" and manages to control his own desires by respecting life. Haru appears in front of Legoshi, who is exhausted after returning to the academy, and he proposes to her. When Bill challenges him to a tug of war using their teeth, Legoshi loses and is left wondering what happened to his jaw strength.

## Plot

Louis confronts his father and he points a gun at him, but he is unperturbed by such an act of threat, instead he proposes that he pulls the trigger, because it will be easily covered as an act of suicide because of his delinquent son. At a bar, Louis observes his father's signature. At that moment Cosmo arrives at the bar, and is glad that Louis accepted her request to meet. She notes that Louis is still not used to that place, she tells him that it took 8 years to get used to the Black Market. She recommends that he flee from this place while he is still young and says goodbye to him, giving him a kiss. Louis leaves the place shortly after.

Legoshi continues to investigate Tem's murderer, but the only clue he has is about his mouth. He decides to ask Juno to show him the inside of her mouth to discover if there are differences between males and females. She was initially in against, but ends up accepting. Legoshi upon closely inspecting, notes the big difference between male and female fangs. This serves as valuable information and says goodbye to Juno.

Gohin inspects the progress of Legoshi's training, which is one that hardly a carnivore can overcome. He enters the room where Legoshi is training by interrupting him. He lets him know that he is not popular at all, that the only girl he liked is a rabbit, but for various reasons he has distanced himself from her, then received advice from a new member of the drama club. This reminded him that he prefers to feel anger at herbivores, their joys and sorrows, and to not forget that they're not just carnivores and herbivores, but lifeforms. Legoshi asks Gohin to go to a certain place, and he carries the heavy bag of meat, his nose and stomach no longer aroused by what was once a life. When they arrive at the place, Gohin notices that the graves have names. When asks about it, Legoshi reveals that he investigated the origin of the meat that he procured, as well as the life history of each of them.

The next morning, Legoshi tries to study for his exam, but is overcome by sleep, until he is interrupted by Haru's voice. She lets him know that she was asked out by a male friend. They begin to talk uncomfortably about what has happened in this time. Legoshi tries to be able to speak well with her, but she refuses to listen to him. Just when she decides to leave the place, Legoshi makes a marriage proposal, but not right now. She embarrassed tells him that he has to take several steps to get there. She leaves the place without giving him an answer. In the hallway, Haru meets a male student who asks if he could stop by at the gardening club tonight. She declares she is done fooling around and claims she had set her eyes on someone who is scarier and weirder.

In the drama club, Riz demonstrated to have a greater physical strength than Bill and Tao. This provokes Bill's competitive spirit, and he proposed the Jaw War game against Legoshi. Legoshi at first did not think about participating, but when he thought about it, he agreed. When he is quickly defeated by Bill, Legoshi begins to question his training because he cleared the first stage. His jaw strength has been significantly depleted to the point that he can barely bite into an apple, when previously his jaw strength hovered around 300 kg.

## Anime/Manga Differences

* In the anime, Haru is approached by the oryx student from Season 1, while in the manga, it was a random donkey student.
* In the manga, Haru being approached by a student and then rejecting his advances happens in a flashback that takes place an hour before she goes to see Legoshi. In the anime, this happens right after she went to see Legoshi.
