Chapter 068 (Beastars)

Limp Teeth Meets Invigorated Hands (ご挨拶冷えた口元燃える手に) is Chapter 68 of the manga Beastars written and illustrated by Paru Itagaki, published in the Weekly Shōnen Champion of the Akita Shoten publishing house.

Synopsis
Several months ago, Legoshi, Jack and Collot were having a physical examination. Legoshi was having his masseter muscles tested and his jaw force measured 295 kg, which is very high since the average jaw force for wolves is 200 kg.

In the present, Legoshi worries that his low jaw strength was because he's getting old, which Gohin takes offense to and tells Legoshi to think hard about what happened to him since that exam. Legoshi recalls that he met Haru a few days later and maybe she's the trigger behind Legoshi's changes. Gohin reveals that the reason he took Legoshi to a bar in the Black Market was work-related and tells Legoshi to look behind him without getting noticed. They see a striped hyena who is a dangerous meat addict and Gohin has been tracking him to days, and today is the perfect day to capture him.

They go to the rooftop of a small building and spot the hyena below. Gohin puts a muzzle on Legoshi and pushes him off the roof in front of the hyena. The hyena tells Legoshi that herbivores are actually difficult to kill since they have strong limbs meant to resist carnivores. The hyena pounces on Legoshi and bites his forearm but gets his fangs stuck. Legoshi puts the hyena down and removes him, then grabs him by the mouth and smashes him against the wall.
