Ulises' birthday was celebrated on January 2nd this year! This show was almost entirely Ulises but Shouka and Orkid came to do some jumps in the later half too. His birthday mention is at 18:26!
Enjoy watching the Orca Encounter you know and love plus a special birthday treat for Ulises which he gets to eat at the end (22:15)!
