| Looks like Hiro is the next one to be freed from the curse. It was nice seeing his mother finally giving him a hug. Both Akito and her mother seriously need a lot of therapy. Poor Kureno didn't deserve to get stabbed like that. |
 |
| Shigure that mind game you played with Ren is insane. Ren is actually messed up for treating Akito that way but despite Akito's hard upbringing there is no redemption for her for what she has done to her family members and especially when he stabbed my boy KURENO it was heartbreaking. Hiro is the next child to break from the curse and man was that a good feeling that he broke away from the ideals of Akito. Hiro hugging his sister and mother was a sight to see. Im still wondering about Kyo and Kyoko and how he was involved in her death. We will probably see that in the next episode. Im quite interested in why this season will only have 13 episodes instead of the usual 24 but hopefully they wont rush it at the very end. This season has more of a serious tone than the others which i like. If Kureno dies... because of the scene with Arisa im going to be so mad brooooooo. Akito you dont deserver redemption despite your background. |

| I hope they all get their sorry asses yeeted in jail eventually. Ren, Akito, the servants, Shigure; the lot of them are criminal shitstains. I hope the other Zodiacs burn down the entire estate to a crisp! |

| oh no Kureno!!! Uo-chan would be so devastated about this! f*ck Akito!!! |
 |
| Why did Hiro's curse break? That happened all of a sudden. Most of the episode was focused on Akito and a bit of Kyo. Also, I just realized Kyo and Kyoko have similar names. Doh. The orange hair too. Hmm...now I really want to know more about their connection to each other. |
| I hate Akito with a PASSION! Oh my God there is nothing this piece of shit can do to redeem herself. NOTHING. Damn dude she really did my boy Kureno dirty like that? And the comparison of Arisa finding the dead Bird...please don't fucking toy with my emotions DAMMIT! The only Positive thing out of this episode was Hiro being able to Hug his sister.

They have stated before though how this is the first time every zodiac member is alive at the same time and it's probably just natural for this to be the last of the cursed bloodline. |

| Akito and Ren make such an iconic duo of antagonists I've always loved Akito as the sole antagonist to this story and I thought Ren would make things weird, but their dynamic is great and I love the drama they bring together. I stan this double threat |
hacequeen said: Akito I felt sympathy for her at first and tried to defend her but after what she did at the end I can’t anymore jesus christ I know right? She's determinate to watch the world burn, the more nuts she gets the better the final confrontation will be I just know she's gonna go fucking nuts on Tohru but this time she'll fight back |
yawnchawn said: This episode was insaneee. It's interesting watching the relationship between Ren and Akito as an adult. As a kid a lot of this didn't make complete sense to me, it was just drama, but trying to figure out what the author is trying to say with a villian like Akito is fascinating. Akito is a parallel to Tohru, even the death of their father early on in life matching up. Difference between them: 1. Their mother's ability to let go of the deceased. 2. The expectations they had for themselves. Akito was told all her life she was to be loved and a god, while it was enough for Tohru to be loved for her mom. I like how the story isn't afraid to show how bad Akito can be. She's a victim, but victims can be cruel. Can you still forgive her? Trauma rarely shows itself as kind and soft like Tohru, but Akito? She's the ugliness trauma often creates. Considering that Akito hasn't fully let her father go, and Tohru is still heavily attached to her mom, both of their arcs have an obvious conclusion. Let go. Move on. So as I predicted, the ball is rolling down the hill. I'm so excited for next episode ! Perfect summary of what Akito's character is supposed to represent. I feel like a lot of people on this board are misunderstanding the purpose of Akito's character. |
| Akito really stabbed my boy Kureno, she’s definitely beyond saving for me, I hated her from the beginning and I can safely say it was the right choice, Ren imo doesn’t seem as bad by comparison. And the way they cut to Arisa right after, that hurts me lol, for the one bit we saw them together in season 2 I had been really hoping it would happen again, but it looks like it might not, I really hope he isn’t dead. |
| Of course I'm not gonna defend Akito's actions but damn, the environment in which she had to grow up couldn't have been more shitty. Akira's way of raising as well as comforting her before passing away was awful (I guess he meant well but still) and the fact of Ren being nuts even before meeting Akira didn't help either. Not to mention those servants screwing the whole situation even more by giving that box containing the "soul" of her most important person to an already emotionally fragile little girl. Another great episode overall. Learning about how Akito ended up turning into such horrible person was fascinating and as some people already pointed out here, her persona is indeed a quite interesting parallel to Tohru's character in terms of how death and upbringing can shape a child's mindset. On the other hand, Hiro breaking his curse and finally being able to hug his baby sister was such an emotional moment. A quite welcome contrast to all this Akito-Ren madness. |

| My god almost all the parents in this series are fcking monsters, no wonder their children are miserable or messed up |
| Akito and Ren have had a serious history with each other, and while I do feel some sympathy for Aktio, nothing justifies her actions. The box scene was really well done, edge of my seat and really emotional. Stabbing scene was also very intense. When will Kyo find happiness :((((((( |
 |
So they're just going to leave us on Kureno being stabbed? This is fine |
| Is Akito competing with her mom regarding claiming the most hateable character position in this show? Somebody explain to me why this bitch is a psychopath murderer just because she is compelled to feel "special" and defy her mother. This piece of turd: 1. Destroyed the family Hatori could have had 2. Nearly murdered Rin 3. Destroyed a big part of Yuki's childhood, as if his mother wasn't enough 4. Physically abused other Sohmas for petty reasons 5. Stabbed Kureno just because of an emotional outburst Tell me how am I not supposed to believe she belonged to a padded cell from the very beginning, her mother's involvement was just a catalyst! |

| i was starting to feel bad about akito cuz maybe she just went through a lot and that's why she's the way she is but fcnsjdbjsjfhshf what she did to kureno that bitch can rot in hell for all i care |
| Damn the whole family is wrecked bad. Hope they find redemption. Also seems like Kyo is living a lie with his image of Kyouko. Will he be freed from this soon? |
When someone asks me why I like anime, I'd say Just Because. |
Kirukato05 said: Wow.. This episode was really dark and speechless.. And I have some questions.. 1. Is Kyo somehow involved to the mother of tohru's death? Why was Kyo's mother showed up there too? 2. I still can't fully understand how the Zodiacs break there own curse.. Why Hiro's curse has been broken while he's not doing anything that will break it? And why he feels negative emotions when he's been set free from the curse? Can't answer the part about Tohru's mother, but if we have to believe Kyo's sperm donor she killed suicide because of the stress raising a child from the zodiac gives you. Now given how shitty he is as a father I don't know how much we should believe from him, but Kyo does feel massive guilt about it. The scenes from the last two episodes do also imply he is involved with Tohru's mother and feeling incredibly guilty about her death as well. From what I can tell Kyo feels like everyone he cares about gets hurt in some way or another, which must be utterly crushing him mentally. I guess the way a curse is broken will be explained in due time. My guess is it's something subconcious. Also notice how the curse had been weakening already and it's the first time since it was set in place that all the zodiacs are alive at the same point, making this generation truly special. About Hiro's emotions: I believe his mother explained it perfectly. No matter how fucked up their relationships are, there is still this inquestionable bond amongst the zodiacs. When that breaks they get a feeling of not belonging with the rest of them anymore, making them feel extremely lonely. The same thing happened when Momiji's curse broke. He also felt all of that. To sum things up: Breaking the curse feels like a farewell from the person in question to the people they felt they had most in common with, and while they are now free from the terror their respective god might put them through they will also lose part of their identity, camaraderie etc. because of it. |

| No! No! No! Not Kureno! |
| Yeah, the Soma family is well and truly messed up, and with a psycho mother like Ren it's really not at all surprising to see Akito turn out to be an even worse person than her. While it makes a change to actually get Akito's perspective for once, it does nothing to change my feelings about her. And even if it was going to get close to doing so, she then decided to go and stab Kureno and still feels like she's the victim in all of this. That's now the second Zodiac member she's outright attempted to murder, so she deserves no pity or sympathy at all. She's absolute scum raised by absolute scum, and they both deserve to suffer until the end. At least Hiro's bond is also broken now and he can escape Akito's hellish oppression forever. |
| 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 |
