Ep 4. Let the Holy Grail Soak

In the fourth episode of Beastars season 1, titled "Let the Holy Grail Soak," the story focuses on a group of carnivores who form a secret club with the purpose of worshiping and indulging in the taste of meat. Meanwhile, we see Legoshi struggling with his inner nature as a carnivore, trying to balance his desire for meat with his love and respect for herbivores.

The episode begins with Legoshi helping out at the drama club's rehearsal when he is approached by a black panther named Gouhin, who introduces himself as a doctor who specializes in giving carnivores therapy to control their instincts. Gouhin tells Legoshi that he senses a lot of tension in him and believes he could benefit from therapy.

Legoshi, however, refuses the offer and tells Gouhin that he wants to figure out his own way to control his cravings. As he leaves, we see that Gouhin is intrigued by Legoshi's willpower and makes a note to keep an eye on him.

We then see a scene where the carnivore club is introduced. The club consists of a lion named San, a tiger named Bill, and a wolf named Aoba. Their purpose is to indulge in the taste of meat and keep their carnal urges at bay by consuming expensive meat products.

In a scene that takes place after school, we see Legoshi walking home when he bumps into Aoba. Aoba, who is a herbivore, is frightened by Legoshi's presence and runs off, leaving Legoshi feeling guilty and conflicted about his nature as a carnivore.

Later on, we see Legoshi talking to Haru, the rabbit, in the school cafeteria. During their conversation, Haru mentions that she has a fetish for herbivores and how she finds it exhilarating to be with a carnivore. This conversation leaves Legoshi feeling confused and conflicted about his feelings towards Haru.

Meanwhile, back at the carnivore club, we see San, Bill, and Aoba indulging in an expensive piece of meat that they have dubbed the "Holy Grail." They explain to Legoshi how they are able to keep their carnal urges at bay by consuming meat and how they plan on keeping the "Holy Grail" a secret.

The episode ends with Legoshi going to Gouhin to ask for help in controlling his urges, but Gouhin tells him that he needs to figure it out on his own.

Overall, "Let the Holy Grail Soak" is an episode that delves deeper into the themes of animal instincts, control, and temptation. It showcases the struggles that carnivores like Legoshi face in a world where they are constantly trying to resist their primal urges and the allure of meat. The episode also introduces the concept of the carnivore club and the lengths that some carnivores will go to in order to keep their nature in check.
