Beary
|
"Extremely sad and lonely, Blue Bear eats his sorrow by consuming lots of donuts and cake. Try not to cry during this song." |
Beary[1] (クマ太[2]?, Kumatta) and his girlfriend Bearbara (クマ美[3]?, Kumami) are characters who appear in Blue Bear in Rhythm Heaven Megamix.
Story
During gameplay of Blue Bear, the player is treated to the aftermath of Beary and Bearbara's relationship. Flashbacks show how the two would go out together, Beary would buy Bearbara gifts, or would feed her something. Eventually, she dumped him, prompting Beary to try to eat away his feelings. He went to the bakery, bought a lot of donuts and cake, and began eating as he reminisces on the events. At first, he appears happy, until he remembers the breakup, prompting him to cry. At the end, it is revealed that these events were all just a dream, and Bearbara never actually left him.
In Left-Hand Remix, Beary at the start either talks to Bearbara about how he needs to go on a diet, or about how he can't eat so many donuts, but spent all of his allowance on them. He proceeds to eat them either way. It is revealed that this is Bearbara is having the same bad dream, meanwhile Beary is seen stuffing his face with donuts.
Beary once bought 16 dozen donuts as he had a discount which would only work if he bought that many. He wonders if it was done on purpose[4]. It can be inferred that the breakup seen in the dreams was caused by Beary's eating habits, as he is seen to eat a lot of donuts, both in the dreams and out of them.
Beary and Bearbara appear in Rhythm Tengoku The Best Plus Comic. In 20クマ太の恋人 (Beary's Lover), Beary thinks about his love for donuts, but also his love for Bearbara. He gets them mixed up, and refers to Bearbara as a donut. In 21クマ美のおとめごころ (Bearbara's Maiden Heart), Bearbara is seen crying, asking Beary if the donuts are more important to him than she is. Beary has trouble saying either way, and offers her a donut, prompting her to cry even more. In 29発声練習 (Vocalization Practice), Beary and Bearbara, along with a Lumbercat, are seen startled when a Chorus Kid tries singing, but ends up singing too loud.

Trivia
- It is implied Beary tends to fall sleep a lot[5].
- Bearbara's badge in Nintendo Badge Arcade is colored blue, much like Beary is during gameplay in Blue Bear. In Rhythm Heaven Megamix, her appearance in the dream is as a pink-outlined drawing, and both are otherwise colored normally outside of the dream.
- Usually, the information given in the Rhythm Items is consistent across languages, however some details are different. For example, in Rhythm Tengoku: The Best+ and Rhythm Sesang: The Best+, Beary talks about how he bought a lot of donuts using it, which he likens to a dream. He thinks about how happy he would be if he could eat a lot of donuts even in his dreams, before remembering to include his girlfriend in the thought[6][7]. The French version of Rhythm Paradise Megamix states that the coupon requires one to buy 15 boxes of donuts to get a 16th one free[8], unlike other versions where the coupon is only good if they buy 16 dozen donuts[4][9]. In the German version, the number is bumped up slightly to 200 donuts, from the 192 donuts that would equal 16 dozen[10]. It is lowered to just 100 donuts in the Spanish version[11].
- Play Nintendo erroneously refers to Beary as Blue Bear.[12]
