The twenty-fifth episode of Welcome to Japari Park (2018 ONA) and start of season two. This episode storyline is based on KF Nexon Chapter 8 Episode 1 - Chapter 8 Episode 7.
Summary
Arai-san, saying that the Lucky Beast suddenly stopped working, manages to make it reboot by hitting it over and over. After providing the usual "this is a record of Japari Park" disclaimer, it transitions to the title card.
The group receives a warm welcome to the Riukiu Region by the Shisa of hospitality, two of the guardian beasts that guard the region. They surprisingly know a lot about the current situation, including Cellval's current whereabouts and what the Cellien Queen is trying to use Cellval for. The Queen controls all of the Celliens from Park Central. Remembering Cellval's struggle against the queen's mind control, Serval is determined to get to her right away. Caracal advises to hear the two Shisas out on the way to the island.
Fennec and Arai-san, overhearing the group's conversation, sneak onto the Japari Bus. Shisa Right notes the danger in sailing straight to the island, as the area is swarming with black Celliens. Mirai strategically changes the bus to its submarine mode, which causes trouble for Fennec and Arai-san who stowed away in an area of the bus that wasn't airtight.
Mirai's voiceover states that we'll find out what happened to Fennec and Arai-san in the next episode, then the Lucky Beast transitions to archival footage. Grainy video footage shows Serval commenting on Cellval holding her diary. Serval explains to the confused Cellval that everyone in the park keeps a diary, to which Cellval responds "Everyone?"

Trivia
- The start of the episode is another example of meta humor, as Arai-san noting the Lucky Beast suddenly stopped working acknowledges the gap between the release of this episode, which premiered on April 15, 2020, and the last episode, which was released on October 14, 2019.
- This episode corresponds to the story quests in Chapter 8-1 to 8-7 in the original Nexon mobile game.
- The English translation for the Japari Park disclaimer in this episode differs from the ones used in previous episodes, saying "This program was repodused / reconstructed based on the record of Japa repark. It may differ from other recordings such as audio, video, time series and so on. Please acknowledge it and watch it". It's noticeably rougher than the previous English translation, including misspelling Japari Park. It's unknown if this was caused in-universe by Arai-san hitting Lucky Beast too hard or if it was a result of something during real life production of the show. It's corrected in the following episode.
