S1E01: Savanna Area: Difference between revisions

Kaban is shown not to have great physical prowess, failing to go safely go down a steep hill and cross a river without falling into it, and has to be helped by Serval on multiple occasions. Kaban eventually encounters a [[Cerulean]] and initially mistakenly believes it to be a Friend before getting a warning from Serval, who fortunately manages to take it down quickly by breaking its stone with her claws thanks to its small size, and describes her attack as a "Friend skill". Since, as of this point, Kaban has had to be helped many times and seemingly lacks any ability, she starts feeling like a dead weight. Serval, though, consoles her, as other friends also see her as weak and clumsy, and tells Kaban she sees her as a hard worker. Serval helps her get up and the duo continues their adventure to find the Savanna Area's exit.

As they keep advancing, Serval teaches Kaban how to climb trees, though Kaban isn't able to climb even a small one without help. They continue and finally reach the water spot to quench their thirst. As they are there, [[Hippopotamus/Anime|Hippopotamus]], a dear friend of Serval who was taking a bath in that same water spot, suddenly appears, shocking Kaban. Hippopotamus warns them that a big Cerulean is guarding the gate of the area leading to the Jungle. After Serval presents Kaban to her, along with her situation and apparent weakness, Hippopotamus advises Kaban to learn how to protect herself, as the rules of Japari Park are that you must fend for yourself, and being credulously dependent on Serval would be irresponsible. As they leave, Hippopotamus gets worried and tells them to be careful of the Cerulean at the gate as well as other unimportant things in a motherly-like series of advice.

Serval and Kaban make their way to the voice and discover the Cerulean that Hippopotamus talked about, who was blocking the gate and had just attacked [[Aardwolf/Anime|Aardwolf]]. Serval charges straight to the Cerulean but is forced to retreat after not seeing its stone, which she needs to break, and getting attacked. Kaban notices the stone on the back of the Cerulean, but Serval isn't given a chance to attack it as it keeps facing her. While Serval starts to lose hope, a paper airplane made by Kaban flies near the Cerulean and distracts it, offering Serval a chance to attack. Before Serval could attack, the Cerulean's gaze, following the paper airplane, ends up on Kaban, who is promptly attacked by one of its tentacles. Hippopotamus, though, shows up just in time to block and counter the attack, while Serval jumps behind the Cerulean to reach the stone and destroys it. After the climax, Hippopotamus leaves the place before everyone can see her, silently praising Kaban for her attempt at helping Serval.
