Yani Neko Episode 5 just confirmed the Beastfolk are aliens — and Imoko's whole arc got a gut punch. Full breakdown of the Game of Life racism scene, Yaku Neko's "Number 12" trauma, and the Tobacco Village lore drop below.
Imoko takes Yani Neko's cigarettes in the coldest open of the season, and it's the key to understanding why she's just as broken as her sister. Then Yaku Neko's "Number 12" flashback recontextualizes her entire character, the Game of Life board game turns into one of the most brutal societal-commentary scenes this show has done, and the second half takes us to Tobacco Village to meet the Alpha — confirming the Beastfolk came from space.
