On July 4, 2024, Netflix announced exciting news for fans eagerly awaiting the final season of Beastars. Scheduled for release in December 2024;
the season will premiere its first part, with the second part’s release date yet to be revealed. This announcement was accompanied by a striking new key visual, featuring Legoshi alongside two pivotal new characters.
The visual portrays Legoshi positioned between two distinct landscapes: one dominated by urban buildings symbolizing the front society, and the other filled with stalls selling meat, representative of the black market.
This juxtaposition hints at the themes of societal divisions explored in the series.
Of particular interest are the two new characters introduced in the visual: Yahya, a retired Sublime Beastar who will serve as an antagonist, and Gosha, Legoshi’s grandfather and Leano’s father.
Both characters are poised to play significant roles in the final season, impacting the narrative trajectory significantly.
The final season of Beastars will adapt key arcs from the manga, including the Interspecies Relations Arc and elements from the Revenge of the Love Failure Arc.
Given the adaptation’s split cour format and the need to manage source material, the first part will predominantly focus on the Interspecies Relations Arc, though it is expected to touch upon elements from the subsequent arc as well.
Fans of Beastars can anticipate a compelling continuation of the story, exploring complex themes of identity, relationships, and societal norms through its unique blend of anthropomorphic characters and deep storytelling.
As the series approaches its conclusion, the introduction of new characters and the adaptation of pivotal arcs promise an engaging and emotional conclusion to Legoshi’s journey.
