Ueno Fluffy Dream Kingdom Episode 6 Part 1

Kuniyoshi starts talking to us in the dream hub or whatever, except he’s in his normal clothes and can’t see us clearly as he asks who we are and why we’re there. When asked about himself, Kuniyoshi is more aware of things than expected as he says he’s himself from reality and probably the one switched out with the dream.

Ever since the switch happened he’s been sitting there alone drawing things. Then he goes back to asking why you’ve come over there since the border of dreams and reality is probably unrelated to you.

He decides to leave that be and asks to talk, and when asked if that’s all we’ll do he starts thinking about us and our concern with that. He then brings up he’s only ever cared about people who liked the same things he does for the longest time. He decides to introduce himself at this point and talks about his likes. Namely drawing, beastmen, and drawing beastmen.

Kuniyoshi talks about how happy it is to do what you like, as in drawing and talking with people with common interests. When asked about people without common interests, he says he tries to show them the glory of furries through his drawings. He’s never been bothered when people call him weird for liking one thing so much or say he should change for his own sake.

Kuniyoshi says he does it because that’s who he is, even when his art school classmates have said the same things. Then he says he doesn’t force anything, so he doesn’t keep anyone away nor does he chase after anyone who leaves.

Kuniyoshi then starts talking about how  even he doesn’t understand his dream. He phrases it as a “world where all his dreams came true,” then asks you to look at it and tell him what you think later.

Title card pops up, and this chapter is called Those Who Fight Amidst Isolation.

Back to the present Leib calls your name trying to get your attention, and you react by snapping to it and wondering what you just saw and are about to say something about that Kuniyoshi. Leib says he thought you were brainwashed by the dream for a second, then says you guys should end things soon. You guys need to get Cu Sith back and get Alp to dispel the dream.

You either ask Leib if Cu Sith is important to him or just make that observation. Leib says it’s just that they’ve agreed to a mutually beneficial cooperation. He’d rather not do anything because when he works, something gets scapegoated. If that goes on it’ll lead to total annihilation, so he’d prefer pretending to be some careless dunce.

Leib also says Cu Sith wants to take care of Leib when he does nothing since he sees bits of his old master in him. Anyways he thinks it’s a good pairing and asks with a smirk if you think so too. You either wonder if good is the right word, ask if it’s mutually comforting each other, or comment that Cu Sith seems happy that way.

Going B if it matters, Leib says he wants to end the dream and go back to his comfortable lazy life, even if it is just a matter of running from one dream to another. Then he starts running for the castle.

Alp says that if you guys can make Kuniyoshi wake up for even a little bit he should be able to use his artifact to forcefully end the dream. As such he asks you two to help him. You agree, and Licht says he’ll help to persuade Kuniyoshi too. He then yells about how much it hurts to run barefoot.

Alp asks if he’s okay, then mentions that since his feet are kind of thick he doesn’t notice. You either say it does hurt or offer to carry Licht piggyback. Going A, Leib says to get ready for anything since you’ll be at the castle soon.

Inside, Cu Sith asks Kuniyoshi what he wants to play and says he was sad since he was looking for him all this time. Now that they’re together he’s happy. Kuniyoshi apologizes for making him sad and agrees to play. He also decides he doesn’t need to draw anymore since anything he draws out in his head will become real.

Kuniyoshi’s first order of business is to split the kingdom into seven areas so that each day they can play in one and move onto the next one the next day. Each of the areas will showcase a certain kind of fluffing for anyone to see for themselves, and Cu Sith supports the idea.

The kingdom outside changes without Kuniyoshi particularly doing anything, and he comments on the convenience. He’s about to suggest going to one of the areas when Benten sighs and says Kuniyoshi is set in his way of thinking. She points out that doing the same things over and over again will get tiring, so Cu Sith gets mad and asks if she’s raining on the parade.

Benten says she doesn’t mean to do that, but she does prefer to have more thrills. She doesn’t see what Kuniyoshi sees in beastmen anyways, saying that no matter the race there’s uniqueness to consider. Cu Sith says he thinks Benten is rebelling but starts fumbling for a more official sounding description. Kuniyoshi says it’s fine since jesters are supposed to say whatever to the king.

Benten of course protests this and says she’s a strong independent genius royal orchestral leader who don’t need no man won’t suck up to anyone. Cu Sith just accepts Kuniyoshi’s decision, and Benten comments on him listening to him so quickly. Cu Sith defends it by comparing the king to be the minister’s master. Benten thinks the minister is supposed to be strict with the king if they’re messing things up.

Anyways Benten says she’ll take her job seriously, only to feel like she’s forgetting something and getting swept up in the moment. Kuniyoshi suggests they head out already, and you turn up at this point saying you’ll stop him, take back Cu Sith, or end the dream. Cu Sith tries to play the imposing official but bites his tongue partway through. You either point this out or encourage him to keep going.

Cu Sith retries his big speech, then calls in all the guards. Kuniyoshi is unconcerned and is more excited thinking you guys want to know the greatness that is furries, so he offers to tell you all about it. Since he refers to it as the only thing he’ll do, Licht asks if he’s not going to draw anymore.

Kuniyoshi says he doesn’t need to draw anymore since his ideals will take shape just by thinking about them. Licht goes quiet, then a flashback starts to a classroom conversation they had. There, Licht asks if Kuniyoshi is still gonna work on something since to him it looks finished already. Kuniyoshi is unsatisfied since he feels he can do so much more with it, laughing in excitement and saying he can’t stop since it won’t come out the way he’s imagining it.

Licht decides to stay with him, which surprises Kuniyoshi as he asks if Licht hasn’t turned his work in yet. Licht claims he just wanted to draw a bit more, and the flashback ends as Kuniyoshi wonders about that.

Back to the present Licht says he finally understands something about him. Kuniyoshi asks if something is wrong with Licht, who says he found passion because of the sense of inferiority Kuniyoshi sparked in him. He says he’s made up his mind, then declares he’ll take over the kingdom out of ego and bring Kuniyoshi back out of it.

Kuniyoshi doesn’t get what Licht is saying, but shrugs and says he’ll show him the awesomeness of anthros soon. He’ll also make it so that the rest of you will love them too, and Leib tells you guys to be careful of whatever Kuniyoshi will do.

Kuniyoshi fires off a strange ray of light from his pen staff which hits an alchemist. You ask if they’re okay, and the red panda starts talking about fluff and how cute he is. Cu Sith welcomes him to the kingdom and Licht is taken aback by the effect of the light. You comment how it affects people, and Kuniyoshi fires his brainwashing laser again.

You avoid the shots, which slowly pushes you back to the walls. Benten speaks up to remind you all that she’s there and intervenes, except she’s under Kuniyoshi’s control and uses her NP to bend the laser towards you.

When it looks like you’ll be hit, you are saved at the last second by someone swooping in to bring you out of the way. When you open your eyes you see it was Durga who saved you. She tells you to relax since the rest of them are here to help. You ask her if she saved you in surprise or ask how she got here.

Wakan Tanka speaks up and says that wherever you are will be Great Spirits. All roads can be taken by the buffalos charging, so he can always get to places. Narration says that Gunzou, Fenrir, and Jambavan have also arrived. Gunzou asks if you’re okay and says he’s here to help. Jambavan says he’s here to Leib, who observes that everyone else is here and okay.

Jambavan says that when they were all separated from you guys he freaked out a little over what to do, but Fenrir says he joined up with him for the hope of reaching tomorrow. You thank them and say to fight together.

Cu Sith turns to Kuniyoshi worries that the numbers are against them. He’s unworried and says they just need to get more allies, so Cu asks him how. Kuniyoshi says it’s enough to get people to understand Cu Sith’s cuteness, then asks if anyone else thinks so too. He proclaims his world as one where fluffing Therians leads to a win-win for all, so he’ll use his staff on you all to make you see it.

Leib tells the rest of the party to be careful of the laser light Kuniyoshi’s staff shoots, and you either only now get through your head what it does or say it would have been huge trouble if you were hit. Gunzou asks how you’re supposed to get close enough to attack him, and a penguin alchemist offers to make it happen if you guys can create an opening.

Leib says the penguin is Jambavan’s teammate, and Wakan agrees that you guys should act as decoys. Kuniyoshi asks if you guys are done whispering yet, then talks about how the no wait line attractions with fluffing are available now. Wakan Tanka activates his NP and signals to Gunzou, who charges in to Kuniyoshi’s and Cu Sith’s surprise.

Alp cheers Gunzou on, but Kuniyoshi says he was kidding and saw this coming. Gunzou lets his guard down in his shock, and Kuniyoshi takes that moment to shoot the alchemist. He boasts about never overlooking any fluff he’s marked, saying he can read the movements of all furries on the floor.

The penguin falls under Kuniyoshi’s control and Gunzou worries about the plan being seen through. Wakan compares that light Kuniyoshi used as being similar to his world’s concept, then says that anyone hit by a thunderbird’s dream cannot go against their own heart. Licht points out that things are getting worse for you guys, and you either say you can’t get closer or ask if there’s a way around this.

Fenrir suggests undoing his bindings and destroying the dream world, but a voice says they won’t let him do that. That turns out to be Benten as she says she knows his power. Fenrir says it’s a terrible fate for her to be standing in front of him as he calls her Maiden of Betrayal. She’s fired up to fight him as they get into a stare off, waiting to see who moves first.

Alp says the dream is strong as expected and that Kuniyoshi’s desires are spilling out. Kuniyoshi says his desires are his ideal paradise and invites everyone to join him in happiness. He fires his light again, and all hell breaks loose.

Leib says that with Fenrir facing off Benten, you guys can avoid the lasers but you can’t get closer. And since the lasers don’t actually hurt you Leib can’t actually affect them with his artifact. So he turns to Alp for suggestions. Alp explains that the laser is Kuniyoshi’s dream in itself, subsuming anyone hit by it. Unless it’s another dream, nothing can resist it.

Licht has an idea from that statement, and you turn to him. He says that if Alp’s artifact created this situation, then it would be a good idea to set a Dream Ruler against another. Leib takes a moment to understand that, then tells you guys to listen. You either get it or say you don’t.

Jambavan asks about using Alp’s power on themselves and Durga follows along well enough. Alp has reservations however because he’s worried their witch barriers dream worlds will return with them as well as the possibility they’ll rampage again. Leib says theoretically it should be okay, if he happens to be right. And if he isn’t he’ll put a stop to it. They’ve already been stopped after all.

Alp agrees to try and asks if Jambavan and Durga are ready. Kuniyoshi doesn’t know what you guys are trying but he’s ready to brainwash you whenever. Alp checks with Jambavan and Durga again, and both are up for doing it. Alp puts his pride on the line for this as he starts break dancing and turning his hat around, and upon activating his NP Jambavan and Durga transform and ramble about their worries.

Both leap forward as they announce themselves, ready to fight against Kuniyoshi as they block his beams. They still have some level of their dream thoughts running through their heads, but they’ve got it under control. Gunzou is amazed by what they did, and Alp tells them to be careful as they’re weaker than when they first fought. Leib figures they won’t becomes giants because their dreams were resolved once already.

Alp says that only one of them wouldn’t be able to stand up to Kuniyoshi, but together they can. Jambavan asks who will lead, and Leib asks you to do it because he needs to deal with Cu Sith. You agree to it, so he says he almost wishes you were a part of his research lab and turns to Jambavan. Jambavan agrees if it would make things easier. Durga says she’s counting on you to direct.

Kuniyoshi finds what you guys did to be cool, but he says he’s a king too and turns giant as well. Wakan Tanka compares him to the land, and Alp says that his dream power is expanding. Fenrir asks if that means it’ll be bigger than anything before. Kuniyoshi says he isn’t done and takes off his shirt off. He figures it’s best to fluff directly if anything.

Kuniyoshi then asks Cu Sith and the brainwashed alchemists are ready, and they get ready to go. Benten protests being treated as an afterthought. Anyways Kuniyoshi declares he’ll show you the best of furries and uses his laser, which seems to be an NP of its own now named Fluff Love Happiness: Therianphilia Light Ray. You proclaim you won’t be taken in by the dream and say you won’t lose as the final episode battle starts.
