Ep 5. Fallen Wolves

The show Wolf's Rain is an anime series by Studio Bones, originally released in 2003. Set in a post-apocalyptic world where wolves have gone extinct, a small group of wolves with the ability to take on human form embark on a quest to find a legendary paradise called "Rakuen," a place said to only be reachable by wolves.

In season 1 episode 5, titled "Fallen Wolves," the group of wolves continue their journey towards Rakuen, but tensions within the group continue to rise. Kiba, the white wolf leading the group, remains devoted to their mission of finding Rakuen, while his companions - the red wolf Tsume, the grey wolf Hige, and the injured blue wolf Toboe - struggle with their own individual motivations for accompanying him.

As they travel, the group comes across a pack of wolves who have given up on their search for Rakuen and instead have turned to raiding human settlements for food. This pack is led by a powerful black wolf named Darcia, who holds a mysterious connection to Kiba's past and the legend of Rakuen.

As the two groups interact, tensions rise and Darcia reveals his true intentions towards Kiba and his companions. The fallen wolves, led by Darcia, attempt to steal Kiba's precious wolf-hair collar that he believes is the key to opening the gates of Rakuen. Chaos ensues, and the group is forced to fight for their lives against their fellow wolves.

In the midst of the battle, Kiba has a vision of a young girl named Cheza - a being with the power to lead them to Rakuen - and he becomes more determined than ever to find her. Meanwhile, Tsume and Hige are forced to reevaluate their relationships with each other and their reasons for staying with Kiba on his journey.

"Fallen Wolves" is a tense and action-packed episode that explores themes of loyalty, trust, and the lengths one will go to achieve their goals. With stunning animation and a powerful soundtrack, Wolf's Rain continues to captivate audiences with its unique take on the post-apocalyptic genre.
