#1 Virtual Reality Player In The World Has To Start From Zero

Anime Recapped here. Today I’m going to explain a Fantasy Game Adventure series called “KumaKumaKumaBear”. Spoilers ahead! Watch out and take care. In a small, modern apartment in Japan lives a lone girl named Yuna. She had been living independently from her parents, who are busy traveling outside of Japan. Yuna had been living independently from her parents who are busy traveling outside of Japan. Her only relative in the country is her grandfather, who constantly worries about her living alone

. He often tells her to visit or else he’ll stop paying half of her living fees for the apartment. She agrees to visit him soon, then goes back to playing in the virtual world. Yuna’s a big, strong, gamer with a penchant for virtual reality games. She’s been straight up ingesting them for a year now, and she’s addicted to a game called World of Fantasy, a VRMMO that allows players to use magic and unlock more abilities as they progress. Groundbreaking stuff! Yuna has worked her butt off to becom

e the top player by taking thousands of quests and defeating countless monsters in-game, as well as developing her avatars stats for a long period of time. When Yuna logs in one painfully average day, she enters the game and is given a mysterious reward by the creators for reaching such a high level. It’s the day she won her bear suit, along with an update to the entire game. One might think that a bear suit is such a bogus prize to receive after spending countless of hours not having an identit

y outside of one game. In contrast to its adorable appearance, the suit is actually a highly advanced battle weapon and protective gear that’s almost completely indestructible. After seeing the suit’s stats for the first time, Yuna believes that it’s some sort of cheat item but decides to store it away since it’s too embarrassing to wear in public. Before starting, an NPC gives Yuna a strange survey about her life in the real world. She describes her life at home to be boring – it’s one where Yu

na isn’t really close to anyone, and she clearly prefers the virtual world over reality. After flashing her an enigmatic smile, the NPC sends Yuna to the starting point. Upon entering the World of Fantasy, a double whammy hits poor Yuna: not only is she in a wholly different world she isn’t familiar with, but she’s also wearing the lame bear costume. She’s terrified. What’s worse is that the game has completely reset her level all the way down to level one, and she no longer has access to the ga

me’s menu bar. Yuna momentarily panics and flat-out agonizes over the fact that the character she worked her butt off to level up is back to level one. More importantly, she can’t log out! Just then, a message from God pops out in front of her. It tells her to enjoy the new world she’s been placed in and that she will learn to love it over time. Is that a promise or a warning? Despite God’s overzealous voice, it’s pretty hard to say. Suddenly, a wolf jumps out from the forest and lunges at the s

till-confused Yuna in full speed. She recognizes the beast to be a beginner monster for noobs, but it can still do some serious damage. Spotting a stick next to her, she uses it to hit the wall, and much to her surprise, she knocks it dead after just one swing. Because of this, she now realizes that the bear suit is actually sick with it, but she still can’t accept how ridiculous it makes her look. She then takes a closer look at the wolf, and she notices that the body isn’t vanishing, nor is it

dropping any loot. While she’s poking it, a girl’s scream alerts her, and she quickly follows it to its source. Yuna finds a young girl cornered by a pack of wolves. She’s visibly trembling in fear with no way of escaping their clutches. Just as the wolfs lunging at her, Yuna calls its attention and throws a rock at it. Despite her random aim, she lands a critical hit. The other wolves scatter, and the girl thanks Yuna for saving her. But after getting a good look at her, she gets scared of Yun

a, too, as she thinks that the bear-girl will eat her. Yuna assures her that she isn’t a real paw-paw by putting her hood down and introducing herself. The girl looks at her in awe before introducing herself as Fina. She’s been gathering herbs in the forest to sell so she can buy medicine for her sick mother. Since Yuna’s lost, she asks Fina to show her to the nearest town, and she agrees. The girl then asks what Yuna plans on doing with the wolf’s remains, and she gets shocked when Yuna tells h

er that she’ll be leaving it behind, seeing as she doesn’t have any use for it. Fina informs the unoriented noob that the creatures there need to be dismantled so they can loot them for their meat and magical stones. She then offers to skin the body for Yuna before pulling out a knife from her bag like it’s her everyday carry. While she’s skinning the wolf, Yuna criticizes the game’s unusual update. We gotta hand it to the devs for making everything realistic, though! It’s just like being an act

ual adventurer from way back when--it’s frigging troublesome. After dismantling the wolf, Fina takes Yuna to the city of Crimonia, but is stopped at the gate by a guard who asks for her identification. Being new to this world, Yuna doesn’t have any ID so the guard tells her to pay a fine. Just then, another message is sent to Yuna, saying that the money she loves so much in the real world is now being transported to her in the game. Instead of being grateful, she gets annoyed at how God’s just c

heerfully sending her these messages like she isn’t trapped in this game. The small city of Crimonia is filled with adventurers and townsfolk that live together in peace and harmony. The adventurers can take on quests, hunt creatures, and keep the villagers protected with their skills and magic. They eventually arrive at the Adventurer’s Guild where Yuna meets a man named Gentz. Fina calls him uncle since he’s a friend of her parents and works at the guild as a harvester who also dismantles crea

tures that the adventurers bring back from their hunt. When Gentz gets over his initial shock towards Yuna’s fur suit, he assesses her wolf items and is immediately impressed by the amount she collected. He is also immensely grateful when he finds out that Yuna saved Fina from the wolves. He then gives Yuna the payment, and she gives half of it to Fina. Though she insists that she can’t accept the payment, Yuna argues that she helped her get the materials. Besides, she should use the money for h

er sick mother. After seeing Fina hesitate, Yuna adds that she should also be her tour guide. With Gentz encouraging her to accept, Fina takes the pay and promises to work hard. At the end of the tour, Yuna thanks Fina for everything she did for her that day by treating her to a meal. The following day, there’s still no exit in sight for Yuna. Seeing as there’s nothing she can do to leave, she starts to accept her new life there and decides to test out the full powers of the bear suit. She goes

to a secluded area in the forest and tries out all kinds of magic on her skills chart. While training, Yuna discovers that her magic gets stronger by using a skill called Bear Imagery. The better the image of it in her mind, the stronger the magic gets. Yuna then goes to the adventurer’s guild one day and tries to register her identification as an adventurer. Her presence causes a commotion there as everyone wonders what on earth is a fur—I mean, bear doing there. Yuna pays them no mind and meet

s with the guild’s receptionist, Helen. While she’s walking the girl through the procedures, a strong but cocky high-level adventurer named Deboraine interrupts them, telling Yuna to stop wasting her time since she doesn’t even look like she can beat a monster. Unmoved, Yuna slyly asks Helen if she’ll let her register if she beats a goblin—the goblin being Deboraine here. The big guy is livid. “Let’s take this outside!” “Bear puuuuunch.” Right after taking it outside, Yuna folds Deboraine’s crap

with one hit. And that, folks, is how bear girl here got to register. When it’s time to fill out her forms, Yuna’s stumped when it asks her what her job class is. She sheepishly writes that her job class is ‘bear’, and she grows even more sheepish when Helen—albeit incredulously—accepted that. And bim, bam, boom, guild card acquired! She immediately takes a beginner-level quest, which is to hunt a pack of wolves. Yuna overdid it just a hair as she returns with 40 wolves, leaving everyone there

stunned. Gentz is impressed, but he reminds her that the wolves haven’t been dismantled yet, to which Fina explains that she can’t do it. He then talks to Yuna in private for a personal request of his. Gentz explains that Fina’s father has been long dead and that she’s been working hard to support her sick mother and her sibling. Not liking where this is going, a darkly suspicious Yuna asks if he’s going after Fina, and Gentz vehemently denies this since she’s like a daughter to him and accident

ally admits that Fina’s mom has got it going on. Or to be more accurate, he blurted out that her mom has his heart. Moving on, he adds that since the guild’s becoming stricter with its rules, he hasn’t been able to give her any more dismantling jobs so he asks Yuna to hire Fina as her dismantler. Smiling, Yuna accepts, saying that she doesn’t dislike kids who work hard. When the two girls meet later that day, Yuna tells Fina that she wants to hire her as her personal dismantler and harvester for

all of her quests. Fina doesn't believe that someone as ordinary as her could be of any use to a skilled adventurer. However, Yuna insists that she trusts her after seeing how dependable she’s been ever since they met. At the end, a teary Fina smiles warmly at Yuna and the two shake hands, officially becoming partners. One fateful day, a kid named Kai is speeding through the city’s outer forest on horseback. He bursts through the doors of the city’s central building, his face scuffed and worn.

“Please, help! My village is being attacked by a Black Viper!” Silence sweeps across the room of townspeople and adventurers, a perturbed expression crossing their faces. A young woman asks if he’s sure that it’s a Black Viper, making him cry out that no normal viper can swallow livestock and adults in one gulp. More worried now, she regretfully tells him that they can’t accept his request. Incredulous, the boy asserts that he collected all the money in the village, and if it’s still not enough,

he’ll do anything to make up the difference. She clarifies that no one there can take on such a beast since all the high-level adventurers were called away on separate missions out of the city. Though he’s crushed to hear this, he refuses to give up, not when his fellow villagers are about to get eaten by the beast. His desperate calls for help ring throughout the guild, but not a single adventurer is even willing to look him in the eye, much less risk their lives for such a dangerous quest. Th

is brings Kai to tears, but just as he’s despairing over what he’ll tell the villagers, Yuuna walks up to him. With a chipper smile. She asks where the village is. The crowd is stunned by this. At this point, Yuna’s quite known for her interesting appearance. And while being an adventurer is no walk in the park, she treats it like a nice stroll. She’s also maintained her carefree demeanor and she prefers to work alone. The boy is flabbergasted at first, but his shock immediately turns to anger a

fter taking a good look at Yuna’s outfit. He thinks that she’s making fun of his plights, so Yuna casually guarantees that she can help him whether he believes in her or not. Concerned about her relaxed behavior, the guild lady warns Yuna that a black viper might be too dangerous for her to defeat on her own since it can grow up to fifty feet long and swallow people whole. To put her at ease, Yuna offers to just observe the creature and report back any useful information to the high-level advent

urers when they return. Since it’s better than doing nothing, the boy has no choice but to put everyone’s lives in this bear-girl’s paws. Kai wants to go with Yuna, and though she tells him that he’ll only get in the way, he stubbornly insists that he can help by guiding her to the quickest route to the village. Yuna thinks that it’s best she gets there ASAP so she agrees, and from the bear-shaped puppets on her hands, she summons two huge bears. A black bear named Kumayuru and a white bear name

d Kumakyuu suddenly appear in front of Kai, shocking the boy. As Yuna settles on top of a very happy Kumayuru, she assures Kai that he won’t fall off since the bears are magically designed to keep their riders safe on their backs. With that, an unwilling Kumakyuu gets Kai on his back. Kai goes ‘Aaaaaah!’, bears go ‘Brrrrrr’. They soon take a quick break to let Kai rest, and out of nowhere, he apologizes to Yuna for his earlier assumptions. Given her powerful summons, he realizes that he judged h

er too soon. Though Yuna’s a little weirded out that he’s already showing his soft side, she still turns to him with a grateful expression and tells him that she understands why he’d doubt her. She offers Kai to stay behind and sleep, but he’s adamant about guiding her to the quickest route. With a smile, Yuna inwardly comments that the kids in that world are strong. And so, they continue their journey without stopping. Upon arrival, they notice that the village is eerily quiet, no noise can be

heard and there is no one in sight. But using her bears, Yuna detects that the villagers are still there. Kai quietly brings Yuna to his house, where they’re welcomed by the distraught face of his father as he sits before his ailing wife. Once they’re inside, Kai’s father solemnly tells them about what happened – two villagers tried to escape but were eaten by the viper. It’s purely by luck that Kai even got to escape in the first place. He then turns his attention to Yuna, and when he finds out

that this bear mascot’s the adventurer who offered to help defeat the viper, all he can do is let out a bitter laugh, even telling her that she might as well go home. Unmoved, Yuna says that she’s the one who decides if she can beat the viper or not, and seeing the no-nonsense look in her eyes, Kai’s father relents and gives her information on the beast when she asked for it. The Black Viper just randomly appears, and sometimes, it passes through the streets of their town. Loud noise attracts i

t, which makes escaping a difficult feat. Yuna then thanks him for the information and leaves the house, but not without casually telling the family to use her as bait if things go south. As Yuna’s heading out, Kai chases after her and apologizes for his father’s behavior. Everyone there is at their limit. Yuna dismisses his worries and assures him that she’d be worried, too, if a person in a bear costume answered her call for help. She also assures him that she wants hardworking kids to be rewa

rded. Seems like hardworking kids are close to Yuna’s heart. Yuna then embarks and after following the Viper’s tracks for some time, the trail ends, and she finds herself standing in the middle of nowhere. Without any warning, the serpent breaks out from under the ground and strikes at her. As always, Yuna isn’t the slightest bit fazed by it. While maintaining a calm disposition, she uses all kinds of ice and fire magic and even physical attacks on the beast, but none of them are working. Eventu

ally, after a quick bout of assessment and trial-and-error, she uses her fire magic to burn its body from the inside. The viper has been slain, and Kai’s village can now find peace again. On the way back Yuna sees Kai running towards her. Surprisingly, he planned on sacrificing himself as bait so she can return to the guild and report any information she can to help save his village. Kai is truly something else – he’s willing to lay down his life for a mere chance, an unlikely possibility. Once

more, Yuna comments that the kids in this world really are brave. She pats his head but tells him not to give up his life so easily. They then return to the village, and everyone is in awe. How can a girl in a bear costume singlehandedly take down such a dangerous creature? Still, they all gather around for a small celebration in honor of their hero, Yuna. Kai’s father even apologizes to her that evening. When the next day comes, Yuna promises Kai that she’ll come visit again. This earns her a s

mile from the dauntless little boy, and with that, the two part ways. Yuna’s bizarre adventure is far from over, but it’s certainly shaping up to be a rewarding one. Maybe the mysterious God was right – she may very well learn to love living in the World of Fantasy.
