| Haru came in clutch, siuuuuummmmm |
 |
| So glad Kureno grew a set and saved Isuzu. Haru should have knocked Akito's teeth down her throat. I "might" feel sorry Akito if she gets pushed out of a second story window onto a rock, beat to within an inch of her life, verbally abused ect.. She needs to feel the immense pain she has cause the other zodiac members. Her past doesn't give her a pass. |
| Wait, what's going on? I've always like Fruits Basket and I obviously had high hopes for this last season, but THIS is beyond what I was expecting by a mile. 4 absolutely outstanding episodes in a row. I'm honestly shocked at how good this final season is, and may it continue 'til the end. |
| What a freaking episode, Isuzu and Haru's relationship is too pure. Everyone is hurting especially Isuzu where she nearly killed herself to find a way to break the curse for Haru. I am glad that they reunited and that ending really tore me. Also Akito, what did he expect after trying to kill Isuzu twice, you really think Haru would come back to you? I'm glad that Kureno actually did something because hes mainly passive, but he saved Isuzu which is a go. Man Akito is such a abusive person. The one thing I noticed that was interesting was the bond between Haru and Akito seem to have broken a little bit, or something had happen. Honestly if I was in Haru's position I would knock the lights out of Akito for what he has done. |

| What chapter do you think will be adept to next week? 😁 |
| Fruits Basket just keeps on delivering, another really great episode. Love my weekly dose of drama! |
| Another amazing episode. Throws up a lot of questions in my mind, and first and foremost is perhaps Akito is the key to breaking the chains. If you take away the supernatural element then all that looks to be left is tradition and the old guard maintaining a power structure which is no longer relevant in a modern society where the old gods have all but gone. I feel the only thing which keeps this thread of fate suffocating all the zodiacs is nothing more than a almost cult like hold on there minds and that control structure is cracking as Akito makes more irrational decisions and pushes people further away from her. This eps even hinted that its not even Akitos fault, but they were raised in an environment where superiority and shows of power were all that are needed to keep the power structure in place. Its a fantastic dynamic and Im just speculating, because you cant ignore the fact they are zodiac members, but maybe they need to find a new way to live in a modern world. |
 To have you, Id give a billion lives A-Chan best girl |
| Special episode exclusively for Rin x Haru! Haru should have punched in the face crazy Akito. 5/5. |
 |
| Uhhhhh I love this show so much. Haru's curse has started to break. Seemingly because of his very strong feelings for Rin. Makes you wonder about why Kureno's curse just kinda broke outta nowhere. But man I wanted Akito to get decked so fucking hard. |
| I sure can't say that I would have felt too bad if Hatsuhara had slugged Akito there. Would have been well earned, I think. But in the end, I'm glad he found Rin, and himself. They deserve any happiness they can find. |

| Wow. This is the best episode so far this season. |
I love K-On, and so should you.  |
| absolutely amazing, i was not expecting this season to deliver such delicately beautiful 4 episodes in a row so far |
no remorse holds no recourse now i'm leaving slowly oh won't you hold me? |
SailorVeki said: This episode adapts chapter 104-106. Some things were changed, but it's not too important. They did have to cut stuff out to fit 3 chapters into 1 episode. Hm, why did they draw Yuki taller then Haru. In the manga Haru is taller... (They also keep drawing Momiji smaller than Tooru but at this point in the manga they are the same height.) Many misstranslations... At 01:52 Haru says: "It's a great mystery." At 02:24 Haru says: "If it all goes wrong, comfort me." At 06:58 Hiro says "You need to tell her it's ok now." At 08:03 Kisa says "It's ok now". At 09:07 Haru says that "Heaven" told him that Akito pushed Rin. At 09:23 Akito says "So you believe in Heaven but not in me, God." At 17:03 Ren says "Knowing that child, he couldn't bear to leave it out in a corner of the room. It must be hidden, behind a door." At 17:57 Akito says: "Which would you prefer, letting you out or blinding Hatsuharu?" At 18:35 Rin says: "You surelly don't need such a me." They can't go to chapter 107 next episode because they need to show the skipped chapters 90-93 before that. Which means they will probably be skipping and rearranging chapters again? Argh, I really don't like it when they do that. Just show 90-93 next, damn it. Anyway, the best episode so far for me. Because Haru-Rin is best couple and Haru, Rin (and Kyou) are fav characters. Akito bitch and Ren bitch should go to hell together and keep fighting each other there forever. BTW, I love how Rin's pupils turned black at 21:53, totally didn't notice that in the manga. Nice touch by the mangaka, she really thinks about every detail. If what you said is true, about chapters adapted, and considering this: There is no way we are going to get only 12-13 episodes, unless they want to drop the ball, and fuck this adaptation at the end, there is no way that is happening. Manga readers should know better, they have 30 chapters to adapt, and 8-9 episodes left?! They would either have to skip chapters completely or adapt at a pace higher than 3 chapters per episode. Really, now is the time to do the adaptation with the most care, not do just give up and do a rushed job. Sure this season could not be 2 cour, but they could as well give us a bit more episodes than 12 or 13, wouldnt have been the first time. The industry could be more transparent towards this. |

| This episode perfectly showcases exactly why Akito is the way she is; that old bitch has been the one to raise her since she was small and makes it okay for her to do things like imprison people, her mother is just another toxic influence in her life and she's burdened with the vision her father had for her. There's no way she deserves forgiveness but I understand that she's just as broken as the rest of the Sohmas'. The tension in that scene between Haru & Akito was a brilliant representation of the current situation overall - it all feels like a rubber band that's being pulled too tight and ready to snap at any moment the way Haru did when he found out what Akito did to Rin. Things are shifting and changing for better or worse. |
 |
| I love Haru in this episode. Gotta give me respects to him for fighting against Akito, the only person to do that thus far iirc. Almost breaking the "bond" in the process. I hope that he breaks it later on. He and Rin deserve everlasting happiness. |
| Wow. Just wow. I had so many emotions over this episode |
| I loved this episode so much and it was really emotional, I've always loved Haru and Rin's relationship together and seriously this episode couldn't have been done any better. The ''I'm home'' was definitely the cutest thing I've seen. :) |
 |
| Amazing episode! Some sad but also wholesome moments between Hiro & Kisa and Haru & Rin. I accidentally spoiled myself on the interactions between Haru and Akito, but it was still very satisfying to watch. I guess the curse on Haru is weakening. I wonder what it would take to break it. I was about to tear up at the end but those two kids who kept staring at Haru carrying Rin made me burst out laughing xD |
  "As promised, all that you seek, all that we desire, is prepared up there. On top of the Tower." |
| What an episode... if the finale is somehow able to top even this, we may well have a 10/10 on our hands here. |
 |
| The seiyuus are absolutely insane this episode. I felt like that little elementary school student at the end there. |
| Rin is amazing and deserve to be happy. Also it was good to see Haru fighting against Akito. I forgot about that. |
 Life is a despicable endurance race |
| akito looked scared. she felt fear. . ? she felt fear, she was scared that haru's gonna leave her. for another girl, thats not her. like how kureno suddenly left her. also the bond was breaking? damn shit. but that ending part was nice, rinharu is back thank god these fucks can be happy tgt again |
| Rin doesn't look that bad with shorter hair. Everyone seems jealous of her. |
 Behold of my awesomeness~ controversial and/or sensitive topics likely devolve into the same repetitive, derogatory, abusive, and harassing comments can no longer be posted. But my feels. |
| I love seeing Akito suffer, it's my daily medicine, my weekly energy, my monthly inspiration and my yearly motivation. Her loss is the only reason I'm still alive, i was born to love and enjoy the failure that she has achieved. |
| BANZAI NIPPON. Nippon is the Land of freedom. Nippon is the Land of Peace. Nippon is the Land of Justice and Prosperity. In Nippon, we trust. We love Nippon, we love Anime. Anime love us, Nippon love us. 日本 |
| Just when I thought that Akito may become somewhat less insufferable, she does that. I just can't see a way she can be likeable in the end. I believe this was the first time we see Haru so pissed off. I'm glad Isuzu is fine. Doing all she can for Haru's happiness, she deserves all the happiness in the world. Well, another powerful episode. |
 |
| I don't understand what's going on between Haru and Rin. I don't like shoujo anime. I prefer harem. |
 |
| Amazing episode. It started off real dark, but ended on a heartwarming note. Rin's "I'm home" was such a tearjerker. Also it was cute how those two grade schoolers followed them lol How fucked up Akito is in the head is becoming more evident, and how she got like that is becoming clearer as well. She was pitiful, honestly. She's also a victim in all this... |

Atavistic said: Finally, someone well and truly calls Akito out on her abusive bullshit, on her constant deflection of blame onto others and constant abdication of responsibility for her psychotic, evil actions. She deserved to have Haru's fist plow through her face multiple times for all the monstrous shit she's done, but I'll take that long-overdue telling off for the time being. That aside, that whole sequence gave us another hint of how the zodiac curse can be broken, and it seems to be that they have to break free of it of their own free will; Haru choosing to walk away in the end despite Akito's protests and begging seems to have been the catalyst to begin breaking his bond. And the emotional payoff for both Haru and Rin as they both take a step away from Akito's abusive oppression is utterly fantastic and one of FruBa's best moments so far. I feel like a broken record when I keep reiterating this, but I don't care what sort of upbringing Akito had or how terrible Ren is as both a person and a mother, none of her actions are justified and I will never, ever feel sorry for her. Frankly, I'd consider her one of the most villainous, detestable characters I've ever encountered in fiction, and no amount of "tragic backstory" will change that; in fact, the glimpses into how even the servants in the Soma household enable her behaviour only hardens my stance on that. Fuck you Akito. You deserve every piece of retribution, every "betrayal" coming your way. Agreed. I've even seen some people saying "she has no choice because of her upbringing" She does not have a gun pointed at her head she does have a choice and she chooses to be a piece of shit. |
| Cute ending but I was expecting a bit better directing there, felt like that scene needed a bit more impact than what was given. Still a lovely ending, and who would thought she was caught by Akito?! I thought it was Ren's fault she was not coming out of Soma's state. |
|
| That was so fairy tale ending carrying her on his back while those two little girls being in awe |
| god. i love Rin & Haru so much. They're my favourite next to Tohru & Kyou. This is my favourite episode so far. Rin's story never fails to make me cry. Of everyone in this series, I relate to her the most. Her character and her story. lmao @ the kids' faces at the end. |
| Man what an episode. Hatsuharu is a real chad And seriously? Akito doesn't know why the zodiacs are betraying her? Doesn't she know anything wrong with her behavior? and what's right or wrong like a mere child? She acts spoiled af |
| that's so big brain I think.. concept carry in-game is popular now.. then the manga fruits basket is an old story that so a creative concept I think. |
| Hinata is an adorable baby omg just wanna pinch her chubby cheeks. NGL I thought Rin died in the end of the episode and that she was hallucinating about Haru before her death but I'm glad she's still alive. She really needs to learn how to stay put in the hospital though, I'm surprised she's still alive despite always escaping from the hospital. Those two little girls at the end though lol they were so adorable following Haru and Rin. Haru and Rin probably is my favorite couple in this entire show. I'm glad Rin and Haru can finally be together. |
| 臭い- |
| damn, i cry :) I don't know what a masterpiece this show is anymore. After being hurt by backstory for a long time, it finally paid off with a good ending plus an insert song and was attacked by an ED song. After such a long time I can finally shed tears again, thank you Furuba. |
| As much as I love Haru and Rin, this climax of their character drama feeks so off and anticlimactic considering how Akito just straightforward got owned and started crying instead of fighting back or something. 3/5 |
| "Life is too bitter, so coffee, at least should be sweet..." - Hikigaya Hachiman (Yahari Ore no Seishun Love Come wa Machigatte Iru) |
| Dammit few centimeters away from the target. Had my hope up for angry Haru to be the one to finally smash in Akito's despicable head. Well at least he managed to save Rin at the end. |
