Episode 1 ends with Yuna revealing that her blood is a cure for the "Glare sickness." The final shot—a top-down view of a swarm of Beasts surrounding their hideout—is haunting. The words "Ongoing Version" flash, confirming more episodes are in production.

If you are new to Beasts in the Sun, absolutely start with the Ongoing Version EP1 SUP TOP. It offers the full emotional and visual impact the creators intended, plus additional context that makes the world feel lived-in and dangerous.

If you are a returning viewer who saw the original EP1, the SUP TOP version is not a simple remaster. The new scenes, enhanced audio, and extended runtime transform the episode into something substantially different—and substantially better.

In a media landscape crowded with dystopian stories, Beasts in the Sun distinguishes itself through its relentless focus on heat as both environment and enemy. The SUP TOP edition of Episode 1 is a barn-burning (literally) start to what promises to be an ongoing masterpiece.

The keyword explicitly says "ongoing version." This is important because Studio Luminance has confirmed that EP2 (tentatively titled "The Night Swallows the Sun") will launch exclusively in the SUP TOP format.

If you watch the Standard Cut of EP1, you will be lost in EP2 because the SUP TOP cut introduces a visual language of symbols (glyphs on the floor, directional wind markers) that will become plot-critical later.

Essentially, "ongoing version ep1 sup top" is required viewing. It is not an alternative; it is the canon blueprint for the rest of the season.

In the original, Kaelen’s facial scar was explained in a throwaway line. In the SUP TOP version, we get a flashback (inserted during a quiet moment in a collapsed subway tunnel) showing him receiving the wound from a "Sun-Crazed"—a human driven mad by heatstroke and dehydration. The scene is brutal, claustrophobic, and adds emotional weight to his later hesitation when facing another crazed survivor.
