for those not familiar, Grape-kun is the penguin whose wife left him for a younger penguin. Yet in his old age he found a new love: a penguin waifu from Kemono Friends.

at first they kept a fence to keep them apart because he wasn't eating properly but then he did, so they took the fence down. he's slept next to her, did mating cries to her, and would simply stare lovingly at her. even her voice actress came by - twice. the first time he ignored her but the second time he reacted and a pic with the three was taken.

when bad weather and heavy winds were putting her at risk they took her away to protect her. fortunately she got brought back after the winds were done and Grape-kun was happy.

but sadly... he died at age 20. fairly old for a penguin but still. a tragic loss from a penguin who was a national hero and treasure.

So sad.
RIP Grape-kun
The reason why you couldn't see my Signature before is because it was Invisible
I'm so glad he was able to be with Hululu again in the end. Godspeed, and may you watch all the PPP lives you want in your next life
Give a good greeting. Try not to give up. Sleep well, eat well. If you're troubled, talk to someone! You're likely to succeed if you try.
indeed. when they took grape-kun to the vet, they brought his waifu with him and they were together as he died.

the purest love.

takes a special kind of jerk to walk past people in mourning and laugh at them

a penguin had a waifu and became beloved on the internet

the beloved penguin passed away

thats all I know and thats all one needs to know!
Not much of a stretch to wave Kemono Friends as an anime thing

And we all know what a Waifu is

But this is centrally still about the death of an animal

I'm not crying, that's just rain.

Every lululu figure better have grape-kun.

That new cutout makes me feel feelings. RIP Grape-kun, and spend the rest of eternity with your waifu.~
Let the voice of love take you higher,
With this gathering power, go beyond even time!
Oh man, looking into the memorial has so many different pics. This tweet shows a couple:

Using imgur on two of them so it can be in-lined:

That's a large table full of flowers, many of which were purple, and grape drinks. Flower shops literally ran out of purple and white flowers.

That art is official art by the main artist too, so Grape-kun legitimately became an anime character. Love so strong, it can even conquer dimensions.

Season 2 of Kemono Friends should have them put a cardboard cutout of Grape-kun in with the penguin girls

Make it happen Japan
