Legoshi meets Melon for the first time | Beastars Season 3 | English Dub

[@kingbeef66]

Legoshi’s biggest mistake was trying to relate to Melon and reach out to him, not knowing he could’ve been a complete monster and a total psychopath.

[@carenxatu5962]

That’s just how Legoshi is, and he’s deeply loved for it.

[@darkclawgreatonenas]

the problem is not only Legoshi and his big heart...its Melon, hes an extremely skilled student of psychology, something he uses frequently to manipulate just about everyone around himself. add that to his sadomasochist tenancies and it makes for a very dangerous individual. in fact, had Legoshi not gotten such a good hold of his more dangerous instincts, he could have turned out just as bad, or even worse, than Melon.

[@nathanalvarado289]

In the manga it's worse. He let's him go then gets shot

[@bruhservices5942]

To be fair melon is the closest thing Legosi has ever met to talking other mixed species Other than his mother who offed herself when he was a child

[@kingbeef66]

@bruhservices5942 Unfortunately for Legoshi, Melon is just evil and a twisted criminal. I would've wished Legoshi met another mix who wasn't him.

[@lexusdriver1963]

The first time I saw Melon, he’s really the creepiest antagonist in the series.

[@Melons.Number1fan]

@@lexusdriver1963 I mean he has no competition other then Riz.

Nah Riz is more creepier he's a giant bear who's a true carnivore

[@zahirecoates]

@user-rj9wk9ol3y more of the twoface of the series. He didn't start off evil just broken character with guilt & humiliation

[@joshuarosen1862]

Riz maybe twisted but at least he had...some morality Riz didn't want to hurt anyone again unless his secret was discovered and about to be exposed Riz is more like a natural predator. Melon is more like a poacher

[@paytonkraft7564]

"It's like watching my own offspring hatching." The fact that the mask being torn in two sounds so... organic, really drives home just how creepy Melon can be.

[@TheAdorkableRJ]

''I'll show ya, when the chips are down, these civilized people, they'll EAT EACH OTHER.'' Melon could totally deliver that line and it would be both figuratively AND literally applicable in this series.

[@cannabishornliu6119]

This is a golden comment! Very good idea to use this Joker Statement from The Dark Knight for Melon!

Love the sound when Melon takes his mask off, it's like a body horror monster morphing into something or Patrick Bateman peeling off his plastic mask during his morning routine. And good thing Legoshi doesn't make the most reckless move of setting him free and helping him escape like in the manga, though he still relates to him as a hybrid.

[@Ryomeanie]

Melon got him twice already, just by existing and looking pretty in Legoshi' book, the charm gets you far...

[@feywicks]

So happy to see him finally animated and they did a great job with him. He's been my favorite since I read the manga.

[@razorshark9320]

Melon is one of the greatest animated psychopaths next to the Joker. It would be so epic if Mark Hamill voiced Melon. I could not believe how he likes to toy with his victims before attacking them. I was shocked to see him almost kill Legoshi.

Mr Melon is more like the Scarecrow

[@briskbronco8292]

No wait. He’s a mixture of three Batman villains. 1. Joker: the evil and twisted psychotic side who just enjoys killing for kicks 2. Twoface: he’s a halfbreed between carnivore and herbivore. Follow Society rules to do his shady business without getting caught. Black Mask hides his identity but is business savvy.

[@casesoutherland4175]

His mannerisms remind me so much of Ted Bundy from the interviews of him.

[@madNight827]

[@jorenpteron7908]

Evidence that Mr Melon looks more like the Scarecrow: He already works in psychology He uses Fear as a Weapon He has already acted as a teacher Having knowledge about psychology he is able to manipulate his victims He has some knowledge about chemistry, as he even managed to make an alliance with Professor Deshico. He suffered a lot in childhood because of his appearance, considered "deformed" Already had traits of psychopathy in childhood He enjoys torturing both others and himself Tattoos are to erase the traces of your dark past and your "despising self", The tattoos also resemble the stitches that the Scarecrow himself made on himself He is cold and calculating The Scarecrow himself had his moments of being more cheerful about something considered Horrendous like seeing children being tortured by their experiments Both Mr. Melon and the Scarecrow have used the person the protagonist loved as a hostage and bait to perform mental torture. The Scarecrow has had problems with his taste buds due to the deformity of his face and his sewn-up mouth, and Mr Melon also has taste bud problems due to physiological problems Both Mr. Melon and the Scarecrow are agents of Chaos Wears two masks, one of a nurse and one that looks more like the Scarecrow Etc

The anime did such a good job showing how unhinjed he is, but I still think the manga's Melon was creepier. He had a way of smooth-talking his victims, getting them to open up to him and even get them to walk with him, before casually shooting them while walking down the street

[@Melons.Number1fan]

​@@briskbronco8292 especially in the final showdown

[@Ryomeanie]

@@briskbronco8292 He is NOT scarier in the manga. In the manga he was a random character Yahya' rat friend found out about, in anime he actually is a threat to anyone and everyone. In episode 1 we see him drop two characters already, and take over Shishigumi, then we see him drop the head of a elephant he himself killed for show and for tusks, or during the beach sequence with Legoshi he himself decides to dispose off the wolf opposed to his manga counterpart who left him with the lions even this club scene was meant to make him feel even more smarter and deranged than his manga counterpart, here he never got caught, was in control and not only shot Legoshi like in the manga but dropped his 'dead' body from the rafters onto the stage to entertain himself and to make a show

[@e.p.bellum]

@Ryomeanie ​yes here he is undoubtedly more intelligent and I don't mind even if I prefer the manga version which is smarter in the manga he is not a step ahead of everyone he makes mistakes but with his charisma he deceives and in the end he always manages to get out of disadvantageous situations the real strength of melon in the manga is not his intelligence or his cunning but the fact of knowing how to read people to manipulate them a more interesting quality than intelligence like in the elephant clinic in the anime he foresees the arrival of Yahya as if by magic in the manga he is saved by his patient the elephant who believed in him so much as to put himself in the middle of the line of fire of a rifle. instead one thing that really bothers me is the fact that they nerfed Yahya' in my opinion one of the most beautiful characters in the manga not my favorite for sure but still well written, in the anime he is much weaker and lacks that evil that makes him beautiful in the manga, in addition to the fact that the final season is in my opinion too fast on some things that I find very important such as the relationship between Legoshi and his mother that in the series is almost completely cut obviously I do not blame the animation studio much less the writers and adapters who due to lack of money or time had to do it, only that I would have liked a more faithful adaptation to the manga at least as regards the most important relationships. p.s. in the anime Legoshi does not get a tattoo, I got a tattoo like him DAMN!!!🐺🍈

[@IMMACYCLOPS]

@@e.p.bellum I haven't watched the anime ver. so I can't speak on that, but *Beastars Manga SPOILERS Below* I personally thought that Yahya's evil traits (from what I recall, it was his hatred of carnivores that comes off as hypocritical when he himself uses their bodies as fertilizer to make himself stronger) went completely nowhere as it's never addressed again nor does Gosha ever find out about the time he physically attacked his grandson.

[@kaellagos5895]

I don't know if it's some kind of sick interaction or what, but the truth is their conversation seems very natural considering the circumstances. Perhaps Legoshi becomes interested in Melon for the simple fact that, like him, he is a hybrid between 2 species. (I have a theory that hybrid children of 2 different species have a higher percentage at birth with characteristics of both species, but in the case of grandchildren it becomes different because the DNA becomes diluted and does not completely maintains its pureness, perhaps Legoshi did not develop physical characteristics of his grandfather unlike his mother, but he did have a greater probability of developing characteristics of Gosha, who was his father).

[@ttjtheoriginal3468]

Gosha is he's grandfather, his dad was a pure bred wolf. Legoshi is only 1/4 Komodo dragon

[@kaellagos5895]

@ttjtheoriginal3468 That's what I meant, Legoshi is only 1/4 Komodo Dragon. In theory, any change in his biology should not be so noticeable compared to his mother, who did suffer physical changes because his father is of a different species than his mother.

​@@kaellagos5895In the manga there's a panel explaining that he inherited his eyes from his grandfather.
