History Recap / BeastarsRevengeOfTheLoveFailureArc

In the Back-Alley Market, a new drug made of blood and tusk is running wild, and carnivore-herbivore relationships are worsening, when a psychotic carnivore/herbivore hybrid named Melon takes over the Shishigumi. In exchange for money and a clean record, Legosi is hired by the current Sublime Beastar to help him take him down. The Shishigumi asks Louis to help them take out Melon as well.

* BadBoss: Melon. Under his leadership, the Shishigumi is as powerful as it was with Louis but internally strained until almost to their breaking point. He reduces the lions' access to meat to twice a month and forces them to eat only melons while watching him feast on extravagant amounts of meat while complaining about the fact he doesn't even like the meal. He's also absolutely willing to kill the lions if he sees it as beneficial to him or the group, prompting them to team up with Louis and Legosi against him.
* ContinuityNod: One of the chapters is called "The Return of the White Fox". This is a reference to when Legosi pretended to be a white fox for the Shishigumi, as he briefly has white fur again.

** Chapter 193 takes place 2 months after the big fight between Legosi and Melon that resulted at the end of the Back-Alley Market. While the place is being torn down, changes in how to take care of carnivore's needs are taking place at a political level, and The Whale has decided to finally help land animals again, by allowing them to eat fish.

* DroppedABridgeOnHim: Oguma is killed off in this arc pretty abruptly. Louis returns home after a night with the Shishigumi and Legosi to learn that his father was in a car accident and only has time to say his goodbyes before he passes away.

* SacredFirstKiss: Haru and Legosi finally have their first kiss in chapter 173, which makes it Legosi's first kiss (Riz non-withstanding).

** One for the entire series happens when Legosi tells Louis that together, they can become "Beastars". Louis calls out that the plural of the word feels forced, but Legosi runs with it.

** Melon himself refers to himself as a Love Failure as well, and at one point even goads Legosi into finishing him off and putting an end to the revenge of the Love Failure

* {{Foreshadowing}}: As Jack reveals, in the pre-historic times, contact between carnivores and herbivores were amiable because their first interaction came from a carnivore acting upon their natural instinct of protecting the other animals, a trait that was seen during a blackout in the Meteor Festival Arc. During the city-wide blackout that occurs among a riot, causing the herbivores to stay still and letting the carnivores attack them freely, their natural instincts take over and they hold hands to protect the herbivores instead of attacking them.
