BEASTARS Season 1 Episode 9 - Into the Lion's Den

Louis reminisces about his childhood, when he grew up as illegal livestock for carnivores until he was taken in by Oguma, head of the Horns Conglomerate, who adopted him as his son. Legoshi prevents a carnivore student from attacking Louis, and discovers that Louis has been marked for lynching because him becoming the next Beastar might render carnivores underprivileged. Legoshi sets up a meeting with Haru to confess his feelings to her, but Haru is kidnapped by Shishigumi, a criminal lion gang whose head intends to eat her. Fearing that this incident will endanger his position, the Mayor forbids any investigation in this matter, even blackmailing Louis with his livestock background to keep him quiet. Misunderstanding Louis's hesitation to look for Haru, Legoshi gets into a fight with Louis before deciding to rescue her by himself.
