History Fridge / Beastars

* Chapter 27 has a lot of people jumping on the Leguno hype train, but most of those people will eventually come around to Leharu. Why? Because Chapter 27 frames Juno as an UnreliableNarrator without telling the audience that's what's happening, conditioning readers to see Leguno how most people in-universe would see it with the intent of eventually showing readers how utterly warped that idea is.

!!FridgeLogic:
* Why does the Whale who ended the Carni-Herbi War need to wait until the land animals have sorted out their own problems for the most part [[spoiler: before sharing fish sausage with them? The act of sharing it with them actually brings their society ''closer'' together and it's not as if it's a question of whether they're ''worth'' helping because fish don't value their lives apparently]]. Then again, considering the sheer number of aborted arcs and unfired Chekhov's guns present everywhere in the final arc combined with the fact that Paru herself confirmed the end of the series was rushed by her editors, it's not out of the question that his message was originally intended to be much different and this was a last minute change due to her not being given enough time to make her original plan work.

* Apparently? Eugenics is a thing in the Beastars universe.

** Yafya clarifies later that it's a NecessaryEvil to keep predation incidents under control.

* [[spoiler: If Melon find out the truth about his father, [[CallingTheOldManOut his reaction]] [[SelfMadeOrphan isn’t going]] [[VillainousBreakdown to end well]]...]]

* Later in the series, its shown that avian characters who are capable of flight can fly others around on their backs. It makes sense they'd be capable of this. Most flying birds, especially carnivorous ones (which we see the most of), spend their lives flying around and hauling other animals with them (typically as food, though its largely nonapplicable here). As for why it'd be on their backs and not holding onto them, well their arms are used in flying, and they have shoes that theyd wear everywhere, so riding on their back is really the only option. It can be considered like giving someone a piggyback for them.
* Riz's name is actually pretty {{meaningful|name}}, whether it was intentional or not. He is a g'''riz'''zly bear, after all! His name in Japanese is "Rizu", which means "mighty" and "powerful" in Arabic.

* The mere existence of the Black Market. There are people getting [[ImAHumanitarian KILLED AND SOLD AS FOOD]], and nobody's doing anything about it.

** Even more horrifyingly, there are clearly herbivores who go to the Black Market with the intent of ''selling their own flesh or even being eaten''. As on the first trip to the Black Market, Legoshi and friends come across an herbivore who put a price tag on each of his own ''fingers''.

** It's not even only carnivores who use the Black Market. There are herbivores in the Black Market who go there specifically to purchase ''carnivore parts'' for use in ''medicine''. Our viewpoint into this being an elderly herbivore who ends up deciding to have someone's ''genitals'' cut off because of the perceived belief it would allow him to have a few final nights with his wife by helping him get it up.

* Upon meeting Gouhin, Legosi mentally remarks that it makes perfect sense for a Panda - a species that ''should'' [[https://www.sciencealert.com/the-giant-panda-s-mostly-vegan-diet-is-much-quirkier-than-we-thought be an obligate carnivore but feeds only on bamboo]] - to be a great source of information for adhering to a non-meat diet.
