A New Morning is the sixth episode of the second season of Kemono Friends. In this episode, it's revealed what Kaban has been doing in Japari Park, expansion of the mechanics of Sandstar, and an explanation for the erratic behavior of Siberian Tiger.
Summary
After the sudden appearance of Siberian Tiger in Episode 5, the Friends flee and Kyururu trips. As Siberian Tiger runs off chasing the burning paper airplane that also caused Serval to become lost in thought, Caracal helps Kyururu off the ground. Kaban appears, warning them to come with her before Siberian Tiger returns. She locks eyes with Serval, recognizing her, but their moment is interrupted when Siberian Tiger roars. Everyone runs their separate ways, but Serval remains dazed and takes a while to catch up to Caracal and Kyururu. The gray Lucky Beast leaps out of Kyururu's bag to tell the two that his warning saved their lives, and Caracal tries to scold him for his warning not being soon enough in advance. As the trio intend to leave the jungle, the Lucky Beast starts to walk away before running out of battery and tipping over. Another roar can be heard, and Kaban drives up in the Japari Bus, calling to them to get in. Siberian Tiger can be seen walking up to where the Bus was just moments before before letting out another roar as they make their getaway.
As they drive, Kaban asks the trio how they're doing and their names. The bus seems to be in disrepair, and Kaban's Lucky Beast on her wrist mentions needing maintenance. After they exchange introductions, Serval is visibly moved by hearing Kaban's name again. After Kyururu thanks her for saving them, she tells them she was out gathering ingredients by coincidence for dinner and tells them to look in the bag in the back of the bus. Serval and Caracal are confused by seeing the raw ingredients and ask if you can eat them, but Kaban explains that she's going to cook them. When she asks what the trio were doing, Kyururu goes into his explanation about finding his home, but Kaban cuts in to show she already knows what a home is unlike the Friends he'd met up to that point. She asks him if he's a human like she is. The pass through the gate and arrive at Kaban's house, a research lab inhabited by her, Northern White-Faced Owl and Eurasian Eagle Owl.
Major Events
- Kaban saves Kyururu, Serval, and Caracal from Siberian Tiger with the Japari Bus and delivers them to her house, a research lab with Northern White Faced Owl and Eurasian Eagle Owl.
- Cellium and its effects are explained to be the source of all Celliens. Like Sandstar, it is also produced by volcanoes.
- The negative effects of Sandstar are revealed to create Beast Friends
- Kyururu has a dream about an underwater Cerulean. Based on this and mentions of "the sea not being happy" during her trip to Marine Life Park, he concludes there are underwater volcanoes producing Cellium.
- Kyururu is abducted by the Professor and her Assistant, to gather a sample of Sandstar from the sea. They see a massive Cellien underwater.
- Ceruleum left in the lab creates a Cellien in the shape of the Japari Bus, which Caracal and Serval take down. Kaban mentions that it copied the vehicle.
- Kaban sorrowfully asks Caracal to take care of Serval, as Serval has no memory of her. Caracal, Serval, and Kyururu leave together to find Margay.
- Caracal finally remembers Kaban from Serval's previous tales of traveling with a human.
