Summary notes spoiler-light, read before episode 1

In short: 49 episodes, in English, original audio — episodes 1–10 play right here.

In Pear Town, a place obsessed with appearances, the blackcurrant Ambrose suffered abuse from his mother and bullying from the townsfolk. He was selected alongside his favored brother to join a mysterious beauty pageant factory. Inside, the durian director lured Ambrose with false warmth, but he still uncovered the bloody truth behind "sublimation". The finest fruits were cruelly juiced, and their remains turned into fertilizer. After finding his drained brother, they reconciled, and Ambrose exposed the juicing surveillance footage throughout the factory, triggering a massive fruit uprising.

The durian director, having recognized the cold nature of the big boss, switched sides and sacrificed himself heroically while covering the others' escape, leaving behind a shield of hardened durian thorns. Ambrose led his companions back to town, publicly unmasked his mother's hypocrisy, and used the highly fermented red wine inside him, which had reached an extreme level of corrosion, to paralyze the big boss's combined mech before executing him. Just as the whole town hailed him as a great hero, the story took a dark turn. Now in power, Ambrose coldly announced that the beauty pageant would proceed next month as scheduled. The hero had become a new tyrant.

Study tip: the first 10 episodes set up every conflict that the remaining 39 episodes pay off — watch them back to back before you decide whether to continue.
