Ueno Fluffy Dream Kingdom Episode 6 Part 2

Once again Kuniyoshi starts things off by talking to us from the dream hub or whatever. He welcomes you back and comments on you having gone into the dream. Kuniyoshi then asks how his dream kingdom was and what you thought of it.

We don’t even get a choice to respond as Kuniyoshi gathers what we think from our expression. He says that as a creator, he can’t do what he does unless he’s able to read the flow of a story. Then he says his world was always inside his dreams, his canvas. His ideal beastfolk with his ideal fur sensations would be drawn on according to his visions, and he believes it’d be great to show it all to lots of people.

Of course, he’d have people asking him “what’s so great about this?” or “are you crazy?” He wonders if he’s (I think he’s referring to himself at least?) tired since he saw that weird dream. We evidently get mad at him to his surprise and tell him he shouldn’t be cooping himself up in there from the beginning. And we seem to tell him that his kingdom and paradise is meaningless.

And as it turns out, no we didn’t say any of that. Kuniyoshi read all that off our expressions. Anyways Kuniyoshi wonders why he’s talking about this since it’s probably not out of embarrassment. But then he says he understands since you came into his dream. Your heart connected to his, so nothing can be hidden from each other.

Kuniyoshi says that you have a lot of connections inside you, some of which are furries. He then composes himself and says he understands one other thing. That is, that you and he are the same, which he thinks is why he can relate to you. By which he means that you are also imprisoned within your paradise.

When asked what he means by that, he’s about to answer, but he notices it’s about time for you to tune out. Before we do go he asks if he’ll see us again on the other side, and he hopes we will.

Back to the battle, Kuniyoshi is struggling a bit as Jambavan and Durga are able to block all his attacks. Durga yells about destroying all the candy while Jambavan cries for help with his work, and both actually fire rays of their own. You either express shock over this, cheer Durga on, or tell Jambavan not to force himself.

Licht says he suspected that those two could resist Kuniyoshi’s light rays, then recaps what happens to people who get hit by them normally and his reasoning that only another dream could defend against it. Then he prompts you to make your move, so you strike in the opening you see, knocking away Kuniyoshi’s pen staff.

Upon losing his staff Kuniyoshi reverts back to his normal size. Jambavan ends up reverting out of his transformation right after, as does Durga. Licht explains that they’ve run out of dream power and compares it to physical energy, so it wasn’t limitless. But you’ve disarmed Kuniyoshi and that’s a big plus.

Wakan Tanka notes that Kuniyoshi has shrunk back down and thinks things will turn in your favor now. Kuniyoshi compliments Jambavan and Durga for doing well, and the camera shifts over to Benten and Cu Sith as their respective battles wrap up.

Cu Sith howls and blasts the area, and Leib says it’s his job to stop him. He’s not even going to use his artifact for it either as he sidesteps the sonic nuke. Cu Sith is taken aback by this, so Leib says he knows who Cu Sith really is. He tells him his name and says he’s an Ueno student and his buddy in the Beast Tamers.

Cu Sith however insists that he’s the fluffy minister, so Leib asks why he’s crying. He confuses himself upon noticing his tears, and Leib says he’s pitiful the way he cries all the time. He points out that Cu Sith is the crybaby who can’t forget his old master, then prompts him to remember their school.

Cu Sith stops as he loses all will to fight, then chokes out that it was so fun when he was with his master. That it was like a dream. Leib says it was a good dream. Cu Sith nods, then asks if he caused everyone problems again and calls himself a loser. Leib doesn’t try hard to deny this, then pulls up a flashback to a conversation he and Cu Sith had.

Some time ago, Cu Sith tells Leib that he wants to be strong, strong enough so that he won’t cry. He says it might have been all his crying that led to his master dying. Leib seems surprised by this, and Cu wonders if all the crying bothered them into leaving him.

Leib understands what Cu Sith was getting at, and Cu Sith says he thinks it’d be great if he could be a strong guard dog who doesn’t cry. Leib says that might be a while, then segues out of the flashback saying it’s fine and thinks it’s time he laze around. He also says he’ll stick with Cu until he can stop crying.

Cu Sith of course is driven to tears over this as he starts to remember himself, and Leib quickly signals to Alp to awaken him. Cu Sith reverts back to normal, and Leib says he’ll take care of him so Alp should focus on everyone else. Alp acknowledges this.

Camera then focuses on Fenrir and Benten. Everything Benten throws at him, he avoids. She demands to know why he won’t attack and tells him to come at her already. Fenrir loudly refuses, answering her confusion by saying that as the proud silver wolf of twilight he follows no one’s orders. Then he stands arms crossed ready to tank everything she’ll do.

Benten questions if he’s really just going to stand there and take it. He doesn’t answer, so she emphasizes it’ll hurt and that she doesn’t know where she’ll attack from. He says he knows as he calls her Haughty Young Lady and says how she can easily be swept up by a dream.

But even so, Fenrir declares that Benten will always awaken from that dream and walk forward on her own, and that she isn’t some tool that drifts forever. Benten is surprised at first, then finds the speech extremely cool. She compares it to herself for a second before yelling out and smashing her head against a wall full force.

Fenrir is shocked by this while Benten reels for a sec and admits that was going overboard. Still, she remembers herself and proclaims she won’t always be swept up by things whether they be dreams or not. Fenrir says he believed in her then collapses, so she calls out to him in concern.

Back to things with Kuniyoshi, Durga notes that the other battles have been settled but things are still problematic over here. Jambavan sees something and moves to save her, taking down an alchemist attempting to blindside her.

Durga thanks him, and Jambavan says he’ll defend her. The penguin alchemist asks to fluff and offers letting himself be fluffed, and you either call out to them and try to wake them up or say it’s all so tempting.

Going A, Jambavan tries to take action using his artifact for offensive buffs, but the penguin trying to invite him to go get fluffed together makes him feel like the bad guy and unable to use his power that way. He ends up running in circles being chased by mobs. Licht says this is fine since Jambavan can just play decoy this way, and Gunzou takes the opportunity to tackle at least one of the alchemists.

Durga compliments him as does Wakan Tanka, who joins in with the charging and works with Gunzou to capture the mobs. You can then compliment Gunzou’s tackle or compare Wakan’s to lightning. Going B, Wakan says he’s both happy and sad to hear you say that. He asks that when you guys return to reality you guys talk together again, then refers to you as his lightning bolt.

Licht turns to you and says this is all he can do, so he’s counting on you to handle the rest. You agree and tell him to stand back. Some time later Gunzou says all the brainwashed mobs have been captured, and Alp runs in to tell you that Cu Sith is okay. However something needs to be done about Kuniyoshi or things will never end.

Kuniyoshi asks if you’re all scared and says there’s a first time for everyone. He’s ready to make everybody like fluffing like he does, and Alp offers to take him on so you step back to let him go. Kuniyoshi seems a bit surprised Alp is standing in his way, but he rolls with it pretty quickly.

Even though he doesn’t have his staff anymore, Kuniyoshi is still able to use his brainwashing light. He does this by making a heart shape with his hands, and the light this time is a lot more glaring than before. Alp says he wants everyone to see him and watch him win, and you cheer him on.

Alp says he won’t lose to his own weakness and that the dream world is his world, then boasts about how no one can beat him here. He does another quick little rap and activates his NP to try to end the dream, shooting out something that looks like a black hole from his hands at Kuniyoshi.

Kuniyoshi is shocked by this, and Alp says this is a special move he can only use in a world switched out between dreams and reality, Dream Eating. He is however surprised that Kuniyoshi’s laser is holding up against it and says his feelings must be that strong. Alp then corrects himself and says Kuniyoshi is boosting it with the power to create dreams.

The beam war is mostly even. Kuniyoshi starts asking Alp what’s wrong with his kingdom since everyone there would love him. He calls it a paradise where no one would ever hate him. Alp agrees that that’s what would happen if he stayed, except he’s finally realized something.

That is, he’s learned how brilliantly Kuniyoshi shines in the real world. He compares him as shining like a dream the way he’s willing to share his likes without worrying about rejection. Then he asks if he’s bored now that he has all his dreams granted.

Kuniyoshi doesn’t have an answer, so Alp keeps talking. Life hasn’t worked out for him in reality, but it’s because of that fact that he has his own dream. That dream in itself is part of his identity, and it’s made up of both sides. Alp then apologizes for intruding on Kuniyoshi’s private dream, but says it’s what let him finally understand what he really wants to do.

Kuniyoshi points out that things might not go so well back in reality. He might get hurt, he might cry, or he might come to a standstill. Alp answers that he can take comfort in his dreams then and try again after, just like how Kuniyoshi takes comfort in this dream.

Kuniyoshi asks if Alp is afraid. Alp says he is, but he’s going to make his dream even bigger. He declares that he’ll make Kuniyoshi like everything about him and not just his dancing. Alp’s Dream Eating starts pushing forward as Leib says Alp has won.

Cu Sith starts regaining consciousness at this point and Leib turns to check on him. Cu Sith then sees the battle happening before you guys, then has a flashback as he sees Kuniyoshi. Back before everything happened, Kuniyoshi noticed him wandering around in circles and asks if he’s lost.

Cu Sith says he forgot how to get back to his classroom. He was planning on following his nose back, but there’s some strong perfume in the air preventing him from doing so. Kuniyoshi invites him to stay in their room then and offers a tent, and Cu Sith takes him up on the offer.

As Benten and Licht are already asleep, Kuniyoshi tells Cu to keep quiet, then offers him his own tent. Cu Sith tries to turn it down out of concern for where Kuniyoshi will sleep then. Kuniyoshi in turn says he won’t be able to sleep alone in the tent knowing he’s left a guest out, but Cu says the same would go for him.

Cu Sith then suggests they both sleep outside the tent then so they can both sleep and not be lonely. Kuniyoshi is fine with this but asks about the loneliness. Cu Sith admits to always thinking about his old master and feeling sad when he sleeps by himself.

Kuniyoshi then agrees to sleeping outside the tent and offers to read his picture book to him even if it’s incomplete, and Cu Sith is excited for it. After he reads it, Cu calls it a fun story and says he was moved by how the king was able to grant all the citizens’ wishes. He says he’d like to live there, so Kuniyoshi offers to make him the minister.

When asked about that, Kuniyoshi says the minister works alongside the king to make the kingdom better. Cu Sith says he’ll do his best then, and Kuniyoshi puts his book away. He starts talking about discussing other things since Cu hasn’t fallen asleep, but then he notices he has, so he decided to go to sleep too.

Flashback ends and Cu Sith asks what is happening, then runs off to Leib’s surprise. He says he was the minister, so he should be with the king until the end and body blocks the Dream Eating. Everyone is shocked by this, and Kuniyoshi yells in a panic as he grabs Cu Sith, asking why he’d do this for him when he was dragged into his dream.

Cu Sith says he remembered. When he saw him, he felt like he had found his old master again. He’s glad to be with them until the end this time, and Kuniyoshi calls him kind, thanking him. As Kuniyoshi cries, he reverts to his normal self and the dream cancels itself. You ask what it means now that Kuniyoshi is back to normal.

Alp says that Kuniyoshi really is strong since he managed to end his dream himself. Licht asks Kuniyoshi if he’s okay, and he answers he’s fine but is more concerned for Cu Sith. Cu Sith gets back up no worse for the wear, aside from having no idea what’s going on.

Alp explains that his Dream Eating eats the dream that someone is having, which causes the dreamer to forget that dream. It’s not supposed to cause external damage. Licht says it’s fine to relax then. Leib says he was worried about Cu Sith and tells him not to take walks on his own.

Cu Sith apologizes for worrying him, then shouts as he notices something. Leib asks what’s going on now, so Cu Sith points out that he’s got his clothes on right today. Leib is taken aback and says he doesn’t need to say that every time that happens. He says it just happened this time and feels it doesn’t matter what you wear to bed.

Alp says that wearing pajamas has an effect on the dreams one has, so he asks him to wear them so he can have better dreams to eat. Leib says they’ll have to talk later so Alp freaks for a sec, but says he’s ready since he knows he did something wrong.

Jambavan tries to speak up for Alp since he has to eat dreams. Leib doesn’t deny that but says Alp still trampled over people’s privacy without asking. An alchemist wakes up and asks what happened, so Jambavan says the battle is over and notes he’s back to normal. He also feels like he’s been fluffed enough for a lifetime.

The alchemist asks if he caused any issues, so Jambavan says it’s fine. He then goes on to ask the alchemist to stop touching him already, so he backs off. Leib says he sees a light in the distance and figures it’s the exit. Yo ask if it’s over this time and say you want to go back now. Alp says something is happening to the world, and after the big light flash you all return to reality.

Alp and Leib are happy to be out of it, and Durga quickly makes sure everyone is there. Jambavan notices it’s about midday and wonders if the workshop will be suspended. You say it might end up that way or think it’ll be fine.

The PA turns on as the alchemist supervisor gets on and greets everyone good morning. For whatever reason, it’s past noon already, and the Stand hassles him for sleeping in so long. The alchemist doesn’t try to deny it, then says he was wondering why no one was in the workshop hall, then yells for everyone come over already.

He apologizes for panicking, then says he’ll be waiting. As the announcement ends, Leib notes that nothing seems to have happened in the end. Alp says he remembers what just happened before apparently forgetting. Jambavan stays quiet, and you shrug it off and suggest going to the workshop area. Cu Sith and Alp agree.

Licht says they should go too and checks to see if Benten and Kuniyoshi are up. Kuniyoshi agrees while Benten is surprised Licht is so motivated. She says he was the least into it earlier, and he tries to play it off. In any case she thinks it’s pretty cool of him to be having fun at a time like this. Kuniyoshi tells them to hurry and change, and Licht has to run and keep up.

Durga decides to make a race of it to the workshop, and Wakan says he’ll join her as he tells you he’ll see you later. Gunzou tries to stop them since they’re still in their bed clothes, then goes himself. You say you’ll see them later or tell them not to run in the halls.

Jambavan asks Fenrir to go on ahead as he has something he needs to do before going over. Fenrir says he’ll wait for him there, and you turn to your team and say to go and tell Jambavan later.

After everyone leaves, Jambavan calls out to Alice since he’s pretty sure she’s there. She answers, though I’m not sure if she’s also quoting from Alice in Wonderland while she’s at it. Stuff about the king in her dreams seeing her dream and the red king’s dream being real. She also says it was a prettt big incident as she reveals herself.

Jambavan says she really did come to help and erase the memories of everyone caught in the dream. She tells him to thank her since she was protecting the privacy of everyone who rampaged in the dreams. She also buried the memories that touched the Taboo. Far as everyone else can see, they just had a long dream.

Alice also says that a new connection was formed and won’t disappear. There’s also the separate matter with that demon who has the same concept she does. Alice then changes subjects and says she came because she was worried when Jambavan wasn’t contacting her and was surprised to see him trapped in a dream.

Now that she’s done him a favor, Alice says she wants to see his picture book when it’s done, which Jambavan agrees to. Alice then leaves since she’s satisfied he’s okay. Narration then follows everyone to the workshop as things get back on track and ends the episode by skipping to the last day.
