"Kuma Kuma Kuma Bear" is an anime about reincarnation in another world that was broadcast in 2020 and will return as a new series in 2023. The story is about a reincarnated girl who is invincible with the power of a cheat-level bear costume, and the original novel has sold over 2.6 million copies, making it a very popular work. It's been a while since the previous series, so you might not remember much about the characters...? Some people might say that. This time, I would like to review the main characters, including the protagonist!
What kind of story is it?
The protagonist, Yuna, has been living a reclusive life due to various circumstances. Although she is a recluse, she has a talent for stock trading and has made a lot of money. One day, when she logs into her favorite game, she is somehow transported to another world. Yuna is equipped with the rare "bear set". While wandering around the other world without understanding the situation, she finds a girl who is about to be attacked by a monster and rescues her. After that, the girl takes her to the city and she lives as an adventurer.
Yuna
The main character. Her real name is Yuna, and she has long black hair that reaches down to her waist. Due to various circumstances, he has been living a reclusive life for about three years. He has a talent as a skilled trader, and before he was summoned to another world, he lived alone in a luxury apartment purchased with the earnings from his work as a trader. One day, when he logged into his favorite game, "World Fantasy Online," he was sent to another world that looked just like the world of the game, though he is not sure if it was a prank by God. However, since he had played the game quite a lot and the performance of his rare equipment, the "bear set," was so good that it could be said to be broken, he was able to establish a foundation for life in the other world without much difficulty. On the day he registered as an adventurer, he overwhelmed and defeated the adventurers who started to bother him, and then he continued to hunt powerful monsters one after another. Because he brings the things he hunts to the guild covered in blood, the adventurers in the city call him "Bloody Bear" and fear him. He has gained a great deal of trust from the king because he repelled the monsters that attacked the royal capital.
What are Yuna's own abilities?
As for Yuna's own abilities, she is a former hikikomori, so she is quite unreliable when she is not wearing the "Bear Set". Her basic athletic ability is lower than the average person of her age. Without the "Bear Set", she cannot use magic or skills. Although she feels embarrassed about wearing the Bear Set, she is practically unable to do anything in her basic state, so when she goes out, she wears the "Bear Set" costume unless there is a special reason. She is also active not only as an adventurer but also as a merchant, and is registered with the Commercial Guild. She is good at cooking, and even in the other world, she recreates Earth's dishes with her own hands. Later, when those dishes became popular, she became the owner and opened a restaurant. By the way, in a survey conducted on the website "Anime! Anime!" titled "When you think of "bear" characters that appear in anime?", she ranked 5th in 2020 and 2nd in 2021, tied with Pooh from "Winnie the Pooh". It's amazing to be ranked the same as that world-famous character!
Kumayuru & Kumakyu
A summoned bear that Yuna can summon with the power of the "Bear Set". The gender is unknown, but the first person pronoun is "boku". The black one is "Kumayuru" and the white one is "Kumakyu". "Kumayuru" has slightly slanted eyes and "Kumakyu" has slightly droopy eyes. Both can understand human language, but cannot speak. The size can be switched between two stages, stuffed animal size and normal size, at Yuna's will. If it is normal size, it can carry several humans. Even if it gets dirty, it can be easily cleaned by Yuna sending it back and then resummoning it, which is a very convenient system. By the way, if Yuna pays too much attention to one of them, the other one will become sulky and sulky, so it can be a bit troublesome to have to keep a good balance between them. It originally had an extraordinary level of combat ability, but with the power of the spirit stone called Kumamonite, it became even stronger. It can sense the presence of people and monsters, and can also find places where medicinal herbs grow.
Fina
She is the first girl Yuna met in the other world. She calls Yuna "Big Sister" or "Big Sister Yuna" and adores her. Her hair is dark brown, curly, and features a large ribbon. She is a reliable person who cares about her family. Her father has already passed away, and her mother, Tirumina, is bedridden and unable to work. She was trained to dismantle monsters so that she could earn a living even as a child, and has worked temporarily at the Adventurer's Guild. She is currently in charge of dismantling monsters in place of Yuna. Her skills are extremely excellent for a level that is inappropriate for her age. Since Yuna came to this world, she has been taken all over the world, which has been a tough experience, but on the other hand, she is very grateful to Yuna for giving her fun experiences. Since she comes from an ordinary commoner's family, she was quite nervous when meeting nobles and royalty, but as Yuna pushed her around, she seems to have gotten used to it. With Yuna's guidance, she is now able to use simple magic. She is the model for the main character of the picture book "The Bear and the Girl Series", and she is embarrassed about being the motif. Since she was the first person to meet her, she is the person Yuna trusts most in this world. She is set as a so-called navigator-type character who explains about the other world, and at first, it seems that she was not planned to be a character that is as related to Yuna as she is now.
Summary of the main characters
The protagonist who is invincible in a bear costume, the cute bears who support the protagonist, and the heroine who supports the protagonist. This work is made up of various attractive characters. I'm looking forward to seeing how they will play an active role in the new series! That's all for now. Thank you for reading.
