Bill: How Beastars Portrays a Leader in the Making

[@spiderdude2099]

Bill kinda exemplifies a much more realistic hope and future for carnivores. Whereas legoshi has this violent and sudden rejection of all things carnivore and gives into (at times) rampant idealism, bill is kinda a more natural and gradual evolution of what a good carnivore can be in the beastars society. He eats meat, sure, but literally every carnivore does at some point and few characters other than legoshi see it as totally unacceptable. For a lot of carnivores, it’s not something they do a TON, like bill says he only goes there once a month. Combine that with the fact that the back alley market (with some bad exceptions) is SUPPOSED to only sell “ethically sourced” meat from funeral homes and hospitals and bill and other carnivores like him really aren’t hurting anyone by doing what they’re doing. Additionally, it says a lot about bill that he chose rabbit BLOOD specifically to dope with. Of all the parts of an herbivore you could consume, blood is the one that is the safest for the herbivore. It’s just blood, requiring the herbivore to just have some extracted like at a blood drive. The herbivore would be totally fine afterwards, it wouldn’t be some debilitating thing like chopping off a finger. That’s also why I don’t think bill is a bad person for doing what he did. He’s engaging in consuming herbivores like most carnivores in the beastars society but it’s still very clear that he only does it as often as he needs to and for special occasions. He only decided to dope due to how important the play was to him, it was not like this would be a common thing for him in other plays with less of a societal message. And he does change slowly over time. The experience with the shock egg served to show him how fragile and precious life was and also gave him a new perspective on things he previously only saw as food. It made him appreciate to sanctity of life a lot more and was his first real test against resisting his urge to prey on and kill a live animal, since up to this point he had only ever consumed parts of an animal that were already dead or would not have killed the herbivore to take and eat. His evolution as a leader changed from this too. He stopped trying to change societies view of carnivores all on his own and actually began trusting in his fellow carnivore friends and herbivore friends in the drama club to all work together to change that perception. Before we saw him in August, it was a very “us vs them” and even “me vs all herbivores” kind of mentality for how he would make his mark but also after his conversation with Els, he realizes that there are herbivores who also don’t want to see carnivores be treated badly, they don’t like how herbivores will be generalizing about carnivores either and avoiding getting to know the real them. In conclusion, bill is a deceptively upstanding guy based on his first antagonistic role. But we quickly see, that he’s striving for the same thing as Louis and legoshi, just in his own way. He’s no worse than any other carnivore for visiting the back alley market and he doesn’t make a big deal about it or go more often than he really needs to. He goes from well meaning but a bit egotistical and selfish, to a true leader once he realizes that he has herbivore friends that care about him too and that also don’t want to see the school get jaded and prejudiced against carnivores either.

Funny you should mention that, because last week I came across a comic on the Beastars subreddit with Legosi and Haru bumping into Bill outside of a herbivore elementary school and questioning why he's there. Only to be interrupted by the shock egg chick. Turns out he's now called Noodle, he calls Bill his big bro and Bill picks him up from school every Tuesday

Seeing Bill do better and be presented in a neutral way without deeming him a villain for these traits really makes me love beastars.

[@BeautifullyFalling]

The main reason I ship Bill and Els so hard (other than extrovert x introvert / tol x smol) is because even if they don't get any real focus outside of that one scene of Els yelling at him, if you look for it there's a lot of small instances in the background that just show how Bill is always first to make sure Els is okay, making sure she's not scared or hurt, and reassuring her when he can. And seeing how Els goes from being terrified of large carnivores (like her running from Legosi in the beginning) to seeming much more comfortable around them, especially Bill, talking with him lots, loaning him manga, and she always seems to be near him whenever things go bad (like during the black out at the meteor festival) Maybe I'm reading too much into it, but to me there's a lot of potential for it as a really cute ship

One of the moments about Bill that I liked was when he straight up told Louis "your leg broke 🅱️" and everyone else told him to be considerate, but he saw nothing wrong with how he said it because Louis needed to know the truth Bill tells it like is, and his candidness makes me appreciate his character Also the story about how the girl he was sleeping with left, that was amazing "You only care about yourself when we're having sex, and that makes me feel empty inside!"

I've had the idea now and again to write a Bill Fan Fiction that follows him and a few other side characters post Main story.

For me, honestly, Bill is one of the best characters of Beastars. Not only he is pretty consistant through out the entire manga (to which not even our two protagonist can brag about), his arc needed no filler, didn't need exclusive chapters to only explain some random stuff or make time, neither It was in the way of the main plot. Probably the best arc, the best subplot and probably one of the best secondary characters. When you think about It, Bill's arc is the only time Beastars really dealed with real coexitance, and was the only character who made a real action against discrimination: not letting people be ignorant. Because, for the most part, when you think about It, Beastars world suffers a lot of ignorance, and said ignorance is what fuels the discrimination and segregation. And, it's sad how Louis and Legosi make little to now progress un that regard. There has Teo cam two terciary characters to make a real change and the plot just leaves them behind. I hope we some day get a manga of just Aoba, Bill and Pina. I would definitly read that.

The big thing with Bill is that he clearly cares for people around him and doesn't instinctively hurt anybody.

I think his strongest distinction so far has been between seeing meat and seeing people, and his firm understanding of which was which.
