Without spoiling the reveal, those who keep up with the manga likely already know who was behind Tem’s death. After all, these ARE still actual wild animals. Unlike many other anime antagonists who often act out of selfish reasons, Beastars’ big baddie was driven by pure animal instinct. The main antagonist of Beastars season 2 is Tem’s killer, who is uniquely layered and complex in their own right. Louis' story is the most interesting to follow. Even his rivalry with Legoshi begins to evolve, which strips away the arrogant facade the character was once known for. The new episodes also reveal more about his backstory, which humanizes this young red deer even more. As a result, season 2 of Beastars shows a more vulnerable and conflicted Louis, which is a stark contrast from his arrogant and fearless self back in season 1. The implications of his actions now have him performing tasks that make him question his allegiance to his own kind. His unique position as an herbivore in The Black Market - a place where herbivores are sold by carnivores as food - presents its own set of conflicts as Louis navigates through this often dangerous environment. In season 2, we now see what has become of Louis, and the unpredictable situation his actions have found him in. We left off in season 1 with Louis killing the leader of the Shishigumi criminal organization. Out of all the narratives in season 2 of Beastars, Louis’ story is the most interesting to follow. This gives the mysterious panda some more screen time as he drops sage words of wisdom that’ll likely come in handy for Legoshi in his journey. While one relationship seems to drift throughout season 2, we see Legoshi become somewhat closer to his strong-armed, bamboo-eating trainer, Gohin.
Legoshi sets out to become a stronger protector to Haru, although his obsession just pushes her further away. Though the main plot of Beastars season 2 is focused on Tem’s killer, the anime is rife with other stories and narratives that are just as unique and engaging to follow.
Plus, Rokume’s interactions with Legoshi are fun to watch, even if they are somewhat creepy.
While not a main character in the overarching narrative, the scenes with Rokume are pretty impactful to the ongoing mystery of solving Tem’s murder. The murder mystery aspect of Beastars season 2 is further heightened by the presence of a somewhat eccentric and elusive rattlesnake security guard named Rokume. He’s on a mission to find out who murdered his fellow drama club member, Tem, and how he can bring them to justice. Legoshi’s main objective from the first season remains the same in season 2.
