| This final season is KILLING it. I do think some of the cuts to totally new scenes were rough (as in the jumps from one scene to the next didn't feel super natural--probably just a symptom on trying to cover so many chapters in the very few remaining episodes of this remake) but regardless the emotional impact of these last few ep are astounding!! |
 |
| This is really an amazing ep! It's like the decade or so I've spent since first encountering this story in manga form finally culminated in this very special episode. To be honest I thought this would be more towards the very last episode of this series. I'm sort of afraid of what's gonna happen next... but for now, LET'S ALL ENJOY THIS SWEET FURUBA MOMENT. |
 |
| Idk exactly why, but for some reason this season is just slightly missing the mark for me. I don’t know if this has to to with the source material or the adaptation, but there are times where I feel like things are either happening too fast or going to slow. Like the actual story of God and the banquet, for example. Incredibly important and adds a bunch to the story in retrospect, but it felt like it was going on forever so the emotional impact was mitigated. I find this to be my main issue for this season in general. I feel the emotion some, but it isn’t hitting as hard as it is trying to hit. |
| The curse suddenly breaking is such an incredible moment that hit me harder than I expected. |

| Everyone's curses are finally broken. Really happy for everyone. Very sad to see this series come to an end soon, I will miss it so much. Good episode overall. |

| Love breaks all the curses. Finally the moment we've all been waiting for. Akito lets all of his binds go so they can at least cry with her and share happy memories from now on. Tohru X Kyo couple flew at mach speed this season. Since everyone's curse except for Yuki's is gone, we're gonna get a full episode next with him and Machi? Hell yeah!! |
When someone asks me why I like anime, I'd say Just Because. |
| can't believe that the original bond was something as.. pure and sad as that, turned into something so toxic and horrible later on. akito being able to let go of something that she thought was her life was really something still can't believe that their first kiss was whe tohru's dying. ig thats romantic in some sense but kyo couldve been kissing a corpse bro. they're cute tho glad they can be together now also what happened to shigure..? there were scars on his cheek |
| I'm dead. This was so beautiful. Tohru and Kyou have officially become a couple and the Zodiac Curse is finally broken. Man... this is really the end, huh? Such a powerful episode. We finally got the full story behind the origin of the Zodiac bonds and I gotta say it truly was a moving tale. Knowing how it all started as a "well-intended" promise between friends but ended up morphing into a curse/burden through generations was really sad. Not to mention tragic as well, given how the Cat was wrongly misunderstood and ended up being outcasted by the rest as result. But fortunately, it's all over now and the sequence with Akito releasing each Zodiac member from their bond followed by everyone's reactions was perfectly directed. Ayame confessing his love for Mine was particularly emotional and the same can be said about Kyou finally getting rid of his bracelet with Tohru crying in the background. And God, Kyou saying that he might be invincible now with Tohru by his side got me so good. |

| Tohru and Kyo :') Tohru saying "I love you" really hits, probably because I love her so much. Been dreaming of seeing this episode in particular animated. The Kyoru confession, saying goodbye, and the original banquet were my favourite parts of the manga. The zodiac spirits are gone, and the Sohma's are free. Saying goodbye to something that's been with you your whole life can be especially painful. It got me a bit teary. Farewell, God. And the next episode probably covers Yuki saying goodbye to rat spirit and his meeting with Machi. Can't remember what comes next though. Eager for next weekend~ Can't believe it's all over soon. |
   |
| Was a crying mess the entire episode, but what made me full-on sob was Kyo and Tohru's confession to each other, the long-forgotten tale of the Zodiac, and Kyo finally tearing off his bracelet. Truly a phenomenal episode. |
| The best, the smoothest episode so far.. All those pain are coming to an end.. It is heartwarming to see how much Akito has changed for the better (her hug with Tohru is the best).. The fact that Tohru confesses for being able to accept ALL about Kyo and loving for who he is before hugging scene, is the best part in this episode.. Sadly, no shot for Yuki.. Where is he? |

Lachrymouse said: I was being sarcastic lol, that’s why I repeated it xD, but thanks anyways! Appreciate people helping out!Criticiza said: Ayame hugging mine was sweet, didn't see the confession coming at all, not as if it was hinted, not at all. It was hinted before in an earlier episode, where Ayame said something to the effect of, "Will you stay by my side forever even if the curse doesn't break?" He wouldn't have to worry about that if they only had a professional relationship. |

| Beautiful episode. Such a shame that the rest of the season is extremely rushed. |
| 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 |
| They payoff is good. One of the very rare occasions when the adaptation is superior to the source material. |

| I don’t know what to say, this episode I just so lovely, happy, and sad all at the same time. Guess I’ll just cry here >~< |
| Can't find the OST that starts at 1:06. Anyone know the name of it? It is so powerful |
 |
| yoo i cant believe this series is so damn wayyy good like this !!! the score now surpassed 9.00 holyy god !!! |
| This is gotta be the best episode of the entire anime and I can't believe Fruits Basket will be ending with two episodes left. I literally has the same reaction as Tohru when she saw Kyo's curse finally broken. |
 |
| My heart soared when Kyo & Tohru finally ignored all their troubles, doubts, and the curse and just told one another that they love each other. They have such a beautiful and tender relationship and it's one that allows them to just be themselves unconditionally. The second half of the episode - look, I read the manga and I was sure I'd be fine but it got me, goddammit! It pulled on my heartstrings & I felt that confusing yet painful sense of loss and uncertainty that the Zodiac Soham's felt. It was a curse but that bond is something they'll never feel again, for better or worse. |
 |
| I think we might be witnessing history in the making for this series and for shoujo anime in general. This is the episode that confirmed this series' greatness. |

| And finally, after all this time for us as viewers and for the characters in-universe, the curse is broken and they are free: seeing Kyo rip off that bracelet, that permanent reminder of the monster he was thanks to the curse, was such a powerful moment. Surprisingly, seeing the origins of the curse and how positive it was intended to be at first was also quite impactful, and in many ways it's a shame that it ended up being corrupted over time until those "bonds" instead became "shackles" to oppress the Zodiacs. |
| What an amazing episode! So beautiful ;w; So the last one to break free is Yuki, right? I suppose it'll break while he's with Machi since we haven't seen them this time >w> Can't wait for next week <3 |
