| Yet another sad back story for Kyo. It's just too much for a coincidence, the author at this point is literally begging everyone to pity Kyo. Giving a sad back story to everyone is all that the author knows to do, she never explained the curse well and then it starts to break just because! Fruits Basket tries way too hard to make the viewers feel sad for the characters, that's cheap drama. |

| Only halfway into the episode & I'm already tearing up 😭 |
| Tohru's about to get stabbed. Kyo will surely blame himself again |
 |
| Everything came nicely together this episode. And Kyou running away again is foreshadowing another accident; more than just Akito with a knife. |
One Piece episode 914 & 915 & 1027 were a mistake and 957 brought the salvation - FMmatron |
| Yuuma Uchida GOAT, you could hear his voice shaking and breaking at times. He conveyed Kyo's emotions perfectly wow. Kyo's past is painful no matter how many times I read it, added with the VAs, OST and direction it feels even more devastating. Goddamn |
| Low-key some next level kino. Kyou's backstory is unbelievable well made and I love how it is executed here. My only **MINOR** problem is how Tohru's mom changed places in her death. And how Yuki conveniently woke up in time. All in all, goated stuff. |
| 10/10 episode, Kyo's backstory is s sad and Tohru... Akito at it again with her crazy stuff |

| I was wondering why Kyo blamed himself and now I understand, I would feel extremely guilty after something like that. He could have saved her but in exchange, he would transform into a cat so he chose not to. Damn. ALSO THAT FUCKING CLIFFHANGER! |
| 臭い- |
| The mangaka must like pulling stuff out of ass to make it convenient to emotionally tug on the readers' heartstrings. Honestly, I am so disappointed by the writing. 2/5 |
| "Life is too bitter, so coffee, at least should be sweet..." - Hikigaya Hachiman (Yahari Ore no Seishun Love Come wa Machigatte Iru) |
| Akito showing up at one of the worst timing dammit. Truly tragic reveal there. Can't fault Kyo as there were multiple factors at play that could've prevented Kyoko's death like her not noticing the panic, not looking both ways before crossing, nobody else trying to save her etc. At the end of the day its all the drivers fault for killing her but we'll never find out his identity... |
 |
| Q: How much do you want these kids to suffer? Author: Yes. |
| These faces are so cute that I might just leave them here (#`Д´)´∀`)･ω･) ﾟДﾟ)ﾟ∀ﾟ)･∀･)￣ｰ￣)´_ゝ`) |
| Seriously I tried to seek some back up here but everyone is just saying how "perfect" it is, but guys .. This scene with Kyo is just the worst I've ever seen, like Kyoko is going to get hit and he just raise his hand ? Can't he i don't know ... hum ... YELL ?? Like a normal person ?? Or just pull her shoulder or something, we know they turn into animals when they're close like hugging but that's it, I found that so dumb .. |
 |
| Oh wow what a complete twist in the story. This is proving to be an amazing ending to an amazing series, i dont want it to be over ;-; |
 |
| all this episode i was :O i thought tohru gonna slap him, and only after that "i forgive you". oh well. i liked kyo here much more. that cliffhanger >< |
| That confession really hit me. Tohru finally confessed her love! But it was not a happy ending. 😔 |
| 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. |
| So that's how Kyo knew Kyoko!! I don't think she said that she wouldn't forgive him though... I love Tohru's love for Kyo, but I can understand why he ran away from her, he doesn't want her to be hurt in the future and he is still hurting from Kyoko's death.. OMG, AKITO AND TOHRU, WITH KYO AND YUKI GONE!! I think Shigure will appear and get between the two, and that Akito will feel bad for stabbing him or something, I HOPE TOHRU IS OK!!! |
 |
| Kyoko is far more of a cool mom than I initially thought. |
 |
| Kyo finally admitted that Yuki isn't his enemy, it's Kyo himself. I hope Tohru puts some sense into Akito too |
 |
It is becoming quite the tragedy. |
| Yuki helping Tohru find her way home gave him the strength to carry on but hurt Kyo's feelings. I can understand why he feels guilty but neither Kyoko nor his mom's deaths are his fault. He blamed Yuki so he could keep on living through his overwhelming guilt. Tohru finally admitted that she loved Kyo but he's running again. And now here goes Akito with the psychotic shenanigans. o.o |
| Akito’s on demon time rn if she actually kills Toru that would actually be kinda amazing in a sad way tho but I’m joking but imagine if it does happen |
 |
| This series is SO melodramatic and contrived. Jesus. Still more enjoyable than other similar anime that rely heavily on manufactured drama though. |
 |
| damn PEAK Basket, best episode so far |
 |
| This was an amazing episode! I really hope that Tohru doesn't get stabbed by Akito... |
 |
| This has been the peak for Fruits Basket so far. All of the narrative has been building up to this, back as to Episode 14 of Season 1, with scenes hinting to this reveal. This has been one of the best episodes I have watched in anime. Peak fiction. We finally got the story behing Kyoko and Kyo, and, in a way, how Kyoko was the mother that Kyo never had, that made him feel normal, even though they were complete stangers. It's sad how eveything went down for their relationship, due to Kyo wanting to help Kyoko, but not being able to due to Yuki. Incredible how the same event, was so important for both characters, but for completely different reasons. While in Yuki's version, this gave him a bit of hope, that for once, someone needed his help, and he was important for someone's life, in Kyo's version this was yet another instance for him not being able to be helpful (in his eyes) to other people, and that being taken away by the Rat of the Zodiac, that has always had a "perfect life". When Kyo was able to finally reencounter Kyoko, it was only moments before her death, and he wasn't to talk to her. She was going to get hit by a car, and Kyo had the opportunity to grab her and push her to save her, but that would lead to him being exposed in public as a Zodiac Member, which would compromise the whole clan. And because of that, he hesitated on saving Kyoko. And that lead to her death. Ever since then Kyo has been feeling guilty for her death, many times portrayed as he has her blood in his hands, but in reality, he was only being human. In a situation like that, most people would just freeze. There's no certainty that he could have save her, that's only his perception. Unfortunately, Kyo just took all the blame to himself, and isolated himself from the world, and to move on, used Yuki as his source of hatred to move on. He told all of this to Tohru, not only because she has the right to know, but also as a reason for her to stop loving him, because in Kyo's eyes, he's not worth of her love, since he only brings pain to people. The way Kyo sees things this way is so heartbreaking. What they have done to him all of this life made him just menosprize himself so much, he actually regrets meeting Tohru, because in all of this hapiness she brought to him, he though that he didn't brought any hapinnes to her, that he doesn't think he's worth of happiness, and that there are actually people that love him. And that's exactly what Tohru showed him, she loves him either way, and there won't be any excuses he can make to make her stop loving him. His words to Tohru "I'm disappointed in You" were so harsh for her, but also for himself, the way he sees himself is so heartbreaking, to the point he thinks it's worth of disappointment the person that loves him... And here we have a crazy Akito, pointing a knife to Tohru, who's completely alone. DON'T STAB ANYONE ELSE AKITO, PLEASE. I feel like the great showdown is coming, between Tohru and Akito, and I think we might see a new version of Tohru, because remember that Akito is actually the only character in the series that Tohru actually kind of dislikes, since she was so mean to the Zodiac Members, but things might have changed now that Tohru knows the truth. AHHHH, I'm going to need to watch the next episode right away! This episode has been one of the greatest episodes in Anime ever. Thank you so much for this Fruits Basket! |
| I hate to sound insensitive, but Tohru's mom has very low awareness... Though like Tohru said, I doubt her mom actually said that. It seems like a manifestation of Kyo's guilt. |
| Wow just wow. What a rollcoaster episode! Shit was filled with emotions. |
| "When they're alive, you can enjoy watching them struggle. When they're dead, you can enjoy tearing out their guts. Tales are things you get to enjoy twice." |
| Yeah! There's no way Tohru's mother ever said that. When you looked at her, even when it's not that focused, she looked as if she couldn't speak. Probably she was already dead or knocked down. Still, the fact that Tohru was willing to forgive Kyo shows how much she loves him. Akito going mental again! I bet she blames everything on Tohru due to her Zodiacs slowly cutting ties with her. Why can't anyone put her in the asylum?! She needs a straight jacket! |
 She got him back. If you understand the characters well enough, you'd know she did! |
