It would be cool if the bears had laser beam eyes or were cyborgs commanded by aliens, but that is not the case. Rather, per the New York Post:
Japan’s military deployed troops to the country’s mountainous north on Wednesday to help trap bears after an urgent request from local authorities struggling to cope with a wave of attacks.
The operation began in the town of Kazuno, where residents for weeks have been told to avoid the thick forests that surround it, stay home after dark and carry bells to deter bears that might forage near their homes for food.
There have been more than 100 bear attacks with a record 12 people killed across Japan in the year since April, according to the environment ministry.
Remember, you don't have run faster than the bear, just faster than your corporal.
