This series can just give up in trying to get me to forgive Akito if that's what they're going for. Selfish prick.

Rest of 115, chapter 117, 118 and half of 93. Guessing 3 and a half chapters. Really good for this episode’s content.


Hey can I know what are the chapters which are yet to be adapted and yeah according to ya how many episodes will the final season be. and also they adapted all chapters or did they skip any ?

Hey there! Sorry for the late reply. On the forum section, there’s one that shows a list of adapted chapters by kagura-pb. You could see it for yourself. Apparently, from my speculation, they skip the chapters to provide a better flow without any plot holes and some chapters (not in chronological order) links very well with the characters parallelism. So they might add it later.

The chapters skipped so far:

Akito may have had a fucked up life but what she has done to the zodiac members is irredeemable. Specially now having stabbed Kureno. It's really too bad her and her mother didn't fight to the death.

Man that is one dysfunctional family. I still don't hate Akito. I just feel bad for how messed up everything is. Yeah the curses breaking and Akito getting sad can be satisfying, but it's also a little sad. Also stabbing Kureno is pretty fucked up. He is the rooster so idk if that bird being dead is implying that he also died but it kinda feels like it.

I thought the author was trying to get us to like Akito or give her some redeeming qualities, but at this rate, even if she managed to succeed in establishing world peace, she still wouldn't be redeemable.

What depraved people Ren and Akito are. What caused Ren to be so obsessive? It seems like Akira was at least somewhat different. I kind of hope they address this point and not leave her generically evil.

I was really hoping Akito wasn't going to stab Kurano, but I kept thinking about the knife the whole time and then boom. Really hope he survives for Arisa's sake.

So I've been trying to get an idea of why the bonds keep breaking. Is it whenever Akito does something horrible? As soon as she tried to kill her mother it broke Hiro's bond. So it may just be at random? I'm honestly hoping all of them break just to spite Akito. But I think it was alluded to in previous episodes that this would be the last zodiac dinner, so they all probably will break.

Oh man, ended right at the good part. Will Tohru finally confess? This show makes Mondays tolerable.

A lot of people hate Akito but tbh I feel really sorry for her. The last words her father said to her have been like an invisible burden and her mother has openly despised her from the minute she was born. On top of all that, the bonds she cherished as a kind of replacement for the unconditional love of her parents are breaking apart and she's just realized they've been that way for a long time. I certainly do NOT forgive anything she's done but I certainly pity her.

Then there's Kyo who has convinced himself that Tohru doesn't love him in some heartbreaking attempt to keep her safe from himself, believing his existence to be something that can only hurt others. It's too much for my fragile emotions!

Ahhh we finally get to see Akito’s past. And I’m glad they didn’t ruin anything about it despite the show’s pacing changing these past few episodes. I’m kind of miffed that they actually did just kind of swept away Kyo’s breakdown that happened last episode??? I know it was an anime original scene, but if you’re going to add something huge and dramatic like that then it doesn’t feel right at all to just pretend it didn’t happen at all in the next episode?? In my opinion, anyways.

Seeing Akito’s past anime-onlys finally get to see that Akito is the way she is because of severe parenting/adult failure. Personally, I don’t hate Akito, but her actions are still downright terrible of course. All I feel is just sorry for her that the adult figures in her life were just terrible, especially Ren for being a mother jealous of her own child because her daughter became someone important to her husband, to the point that she wanted her daughter to be raised as a boy so another girl couldn’t hold a special place in her spouse’s heart, despite that girl being her daughter.

While Akira is a loving father you can tell that he also failed Akito in a way by telling Akito that she’s a special child born to always be loved no matter what without telling her how to properly treat others and stuff, but I kind of give him a more lenient pass only because, like Akito was, he also was probably isolated inside the main house for his entire life so he also probably has severe social stuntness. In the end Akito clung to those words so hard because she wanted to believe in it, especially when her own mother tells her that she’s an unwanted existence, which really just makes this tragic.

I really do like how Furuba shows that Kureno’s kindness is something that also caused Akito to stagnate from becoming a proper person. In the end Kureno was enabling Akito’s actions, even if his reasons was that he just wanted to alleviate a little girl’s pain. His comfort was never a solution either but a temporary bandage because he never actually tried to help Akito, and while I honestly can’t blame him since he was young as well and didn’t know better himself on how to help Akito, it’s fact that what he was doing was not helping and I like how it shows that.

One of the things I also will always love about Furuba is how it shows how people deal with trauma differently in so many ways. Sometimes they’ll be able to deal with it in better ways, but then there are cases where they deal with it so badly and do so many bad things. The bad things they’ve done definitely shouldn’t be excused, but imo Akito is still a potential forgiveable character as long as she holds herself accountable for the actions she took and takes proper responsibility for them.

I've always liked Akito, from the beginning. He's not someone I'd want (or respect) irl. but the character is complex and very well written to me. The fear I felt when I read Kureno's stabbing, in the animation they just improve it.

such beautiful moment when Hiro breaks his curse and can hug his little sister (ノv`*). It's interesting to see that there are, almost a few, Soumas mothers who do accept their cursed kids, so they're not ALL dramatic childhoods. And precisely Hiro, so protected and loved is one of the most confrontational

It was already revealed in the first episode of the final season and in the final episode of the second season that Akito is a girl.

cuz it has been revealed forces me to use fem pronouns? Due to Akito's situation I sometimes use male pronouns, sometimes neuter and sometimes fem.

RIP Kureno. Hope that this isn't a fakeout death. Kureno choose to hang around these crazy people, and reaped the consequences of his poor choice. Again, good on Ayame and Hattori for cutting these bitches out of their life.

Lol at Shigure pulling a Gendo Akari and having apparently banged a mother AND her daughter. Um... seriously: how doesn't anyone have STDs?

Akari was a pretty pathetic man, allowing himself to fall for the golddigger, and then giving into her demand that Akito has to be raised as a man. And then he made zero plans for Akito to be raised by a father figure, so he basically screwed over his clan by putting a girl in charge with no father figure to look up to, only an emotionally unstable bitch.

Yes, I do symphathise with Akhito. But her treatment of others is not excusable. She is manipulative, abusive (physically, emotionally and sexually (i think )). She is just horrible! Nothing could justify what she has done, not even her own trauma.

Akito is a sociopath and completely insane.

I don't a reason why the bonds are breaking the way they are. It doesn't seem to be the desire to have the cut. I wonder how Hiro's mom knew.

Is Kureno dead? I was not expecting it, but when they were talking out there I was thinking, "Where's the knife?"

The entire Soma family is just... twisted. It all started from the top. I think it all started with Ren. If Ren had been a loving mother to Akito, hadn't forced Akito to be raised a boy... maybe things could've worked out. And Akito wouldn't turn out to be this twisted. And there would be less suffering.

But even then, I think the bonds between the zodiacs were going to break apart either way.

My bet on what happened between Kyo and Kyoko was that he misinterpreted what she said. She would not forgive Kyo if he let Tohru go or something along those lines. I can't believe Kyoko would say something so spiteful.

I just rewatched 7 because while watching 8 I felt like I had missed something. It drove home my dislike of Ren. I never thought FB could have a character I dislike more that Akito, but they did it. I felt a bit of pity for little Akito, but not enough to feel sorry or sympathy the sociopath she's become. I hope the next person she attacks is that old lady.

That's true and very interesting that Akira was likely also isolated. I wonder if he was not as wonderful a person as it appears to Akito, just seems so because Akito sees him that way in her memories.

I really do like how Furuba shows that Kureno’s kindness is something that also caused Akito to stagnate from becoming a proper person. In the end Kureno was enabling Akito’s actions, even if his reasons was that he just wanted to alleviate a little girl’s pain.

I think Kureno is supposed to be portrayed as the type of personality who can easily fall into being an abuse victim. He doesn't stand up for himself or prioritize his own needs in any way and just allows Akito to project everything onto him and use him. It's sad that this is how some people truly operate in real life because they have no sense of self preservation. His story is very sad all around.

Lol at Shigure pulling a Gendo Akari and having apparently banged a mother AND her daughter. Um... seriously: how doesn't anyone have STDs?


Good question 😄 But I loved that they revealed Shigure had a dual motive for sleeping with Ren, it wasn't just to make Akito angry/ jealous, it was because she reminded him of Akito and looked like his fantasy version of how female-presenting Akito would look when she grows up😄

NGL I thought it was funny how both Akito and Ren's caretakers were lashing out at each other. It's like those petty Japanese/Korean dramas where the rich people have their own governess and have split into factions.

I really thought Akito was going to stab herself and attempt suicide. Just as I was beginning to feel some sort of sympathy for her, she goes and stabs Kureno. All my sympathies flew out the window. She did look cute as a baby while her father was carrying her. I'll give her that and that alone.

Anyway, I'm glad the curse broke for Hiro too and he was able to hug his baby sister and mom but I understand how this sudden break from the curse can make him feel confusion rather than happiness. I'm sure he's happy inside but also a connection that he had with the other Sohmas which will never be there anymore.

I think I misunderstood the last moment of episode 6 based on the beginning of this one, but how could I know, they decided to leave it there and focus on Akito instead, only making me dislike her more. The bond breaking was very conveniently placed and the scene where she stabs Kureno was unintentionally funny to me. .-.

I didn't think Akito would kill someone and her mother seems to be a seductress... 🤔 Well, rip.
It's not that I dislike this genre but... to add unnecessary fan services to/in/for heroines
and ultimately destroys her character and personality; their purity tarnished because of it,
is the only thing I hope to not happen to them. For that sole purity is my fan service.

First of all, holy crap that escalated.

Second, it feels like the old attendant lady in the Souma estate is the true antagonist of the entire series. It's as if her scorn, actions, and pressure exerted on other major characters caused a significant domino effect in terms of suffering and resentment.

Third, I've might have forgotten, but I'm unsure how Kyou met Kyouko in the first place. I'm not sure why Kyouko would have such a serious talk about her family with this random boy, nor how Kyou managed to wander out that far into Tohru's neighborhood. Was this before the incident with Kagura changing him into his monster form?

This season is giving me some mixed feelings. I'm glad that the plot is going at full throttle, but I'm unsure if it needs to slow down a bit. So much is happening so quickly that it's hard to process. It feels so recent that Akito's box was introduced as a plot point, only for it to be tossed aside as a red herring. Understandably, it could be representative of Akito's empty ambitions for companionship and importance, but I'm not sure if the box was necessary to get that across. Akito's mother was only introduced briefly during Tohru's second year (I think?), and now she's seemingly taken reigns of the entire show. Instead of Akito driving all the drama, it's now Ren driving all of Akito's drama, which in turn spills over onto all the other cast members.

Relationships are getting solidified and destroyed, reveals for past mysteries come and go in rapid succession, and numerous characters are getting redefined amidst the show's tonal shift. I'm not sure if all these developments are good or bad, but at the very least, it's hard to follow at times.

Noooo. Akito killed the Zodiac Rooster, who was the only one there for her. And he was such a good guy too. And what makes it worse, was that Arisa was the one to find him dead, but she obviously didn't know it was him, because he was in his Rooster form.

Akito is so sick, but no wonder she is as sick as she is. Because he mother, Ren, is also incredibly twisted and evil, which how she treated her daughter both growing up and now is obviously taking a massive toll on her.

Also, Kyou has known about Tohru for years. Well before they even met. He knew Kyoto. How crazy is that?!
