Smudy said: Holy shit, that had me feeling all kinds of ways, what an episode. x2. Phenomenal episode all round, this. Kyo freakin' blew it again in the end though... I know why but it's still quite aggravating honestly. |

| This is getting out of hand real fast. |
| I have to say that the transition, with the loud rain in the background, into the OP song was perfectly done. =D And thus, ended the only happy part of the episode as the rest of it was filled with an abyss-level of despair, sadness and regret. Despite his faults, I can't help but feel sympathetic for Kyo as his very long monologue showed how much his guilt has hurt him all this time, which he had it repressed until he saw the blue hat he used to have a few episodes ago. Because of his guilt, it was a hard pill to swallow when he coldly told Tohru that he was disappointed in her, especially after her emotional confession to him. Due to his state of mind, he ran off, with Yuki in hot pursuit. However, shortly after Yuki left, an emotionless looking Tohru looked behind her to see none other than Akito, also with her mental state of mind in tatters, holding a knife in her hand, the same one she used to stab Kureno in the previous episode. Seriously, I've been a lot of cliffhangers that leave the viewers on the edge of their seat, but this one ranks near the top of the most brutal timing of a cliffhanger I've seen in a while. =( Oxalyc said: Another cringe episode, especially because I was forced to watch it in dub, what a terrible version the voice actors should change their mother tongue ffs. Akito is the clearly the best character since she's the only one trying to get shit done. This is too hirly for me, I cant stand it. If you hated the English dub so much, then I can't understand as to why you couldn't have resisted the urge to wait for the JP dub episode to be released as normal instead of watching the episode early with the audio that you detest so much. What's done is done, so me asking you this is probably pointless, but I felt obliged to do so regardless. Besides, I've watched the whole Furuba in both JP and EN dubs and both are great, at least for me. |
| Compared to the past few episodes, don't really have much to chime in on this week. Chapters 119 and 120 got adapted covering Kyo explaining to Tohru how he knew Kyoko and how witnessing her death shaped his current personality throughout the series. Only a few minor things were added in this episode, as this episode was otherwise pretty faithful to the chapters it adapted. Here were the few changes I noticed in this episode: -Kyo and Tohru were further apart in the manga when the former questioned Tohru about her feelings for him. -The anime added on the bit of Kyo stepping in Kyoko’s blood at her accident scene. -The present-day Kyo observing the angsting of his younger selves following the deaths of his mother and Kyoko were added for the anime. -The lines Kyo uttered explaining that he had repressed his memories of Kyoko’s death and recalled everything upon seeing the cap in Tohru’s possession was added for the anime. |

| Oi Akito, I don't like what I think you want to do, stop. Fantastic, very hard-hitting episode, that Kyoko-Kyou backstory and how his deep hate for Yuki was more and more just an excuse he had in his mind so he had someone to blame to continue going, so little left for us to see how this gets solved, aaa next ep please. |
 |
| Ah, so that's what happened between Tohru's mom and Kyo. Of course she wouldn't just tell him that she will never forgive him, if she said anything it would be something like "I will never forgive you if you don't keep the promise", referring to the promise to protect Tohru that she told him she would hold him to someday. Akito... Somebody please stop that crazy bitch. |
| Very intense episode. I had some chills remembering the 2019 episodes from season 1, everything - or most likely very important things - eventually obtained an explanation. |
 |
| I couldn't take my eyes off this episode. |
 |
| We'll get kyos at some point right? They wouldn't skip that would they? |
| this episode was everything i wanted. also, i really like the soundtrack for this show. even in intense moments, i keep getting distracted because i'm humming along to it lmao. |
| Kyō's background is excellent, in addition to being depressed! On the other hand, this CRAZY cliffhanger! |
| Geh, I was just depressed in this whole episode, man T-T Not a single break where I could laugh and wipe the tears away. I wanted to hug Kyo and Tohru so badly and punch Akito in the face. |
| Signature removed. Please follow the signature rules, as defined in the Site & Forum Guidelines. |
| Only 5 more episodes of watching this with my girlfriend.... thank god the end is coming cause I can't handle putting up with this show anymore after this, particularly after this episode. Oh god... |
| Actually went from crying to screaming at the end of this episode. Kyo you LITERALLY JUST PROMISED HER YOU WON'T BE DISAPPOINTED!!! WTF BRO!!! Then Akito...fucking TRASSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH I am curious what Tohru's mother actually said though. |

| *snore* Another damn filler episode! *snore* Only thing that happened was a psycho with a knife showing up in the last 10 seconds of the episode. You can completely skip this episode and you won't miss anything. This episode was the epitome of filler. axel360 said: It's weird to me that they showed Kureno getting stabbed and bleeding out at the end of last episode, and then just never went back to that at all this week. Presumably he's dead. I'm guessing next week Akito is going to try to shank Torhu, but then he stops (either because Torhu gives him some cliche breaking speech, or the other family members arrive and restrain him) and then he's going to find out Kureno is dead and it's going to hit him and he's going to break down and cry or some other crap. Inb4 crappy fakeout death. |

| So we've finally reached the episode. The episode where Tohru and Kyou finally reveal their feelings and Kyou reveals the past. I'm surprised how little it emotionally affected me. I guess it was because I already knew all of this already thanks to previous episodes covering this. But I think it was ultimately due to Kyou's boring inner thoughts that brought down the emotional feeling for me. If we saw him saying this in the rain passionately, maybe I would've felt differently? I'm just glad to finally know the reason why Tohru's mom died. It's kind of too bad it was a clichéd car accident, but finally getting an explanation of Kyou's involvement was nice. I figured after saying all he does is run away, he wouldn't run away this time. But he did. I think what surprised me the most was Yuki running after him without a second thought. Really shows how much he's grown. But as soon as I realized that Akito was headed to Shuigure's, I thought to myself "Woah, this is it isn't it?" Will Yuki find Kyou and bring him back? Or will Kyou come back on his own, which would both show development for his character and also possibly save Tohru? This show is the only thing that makes Mondays bearable. |
| Very emotional and dark episode here. Since we're almost at the end now I'm glad they spent this whole episode on exposing the relationship Kyo, Tohru and Kyoko have had in their lives. No distractions, just the whole picture. And that cliffhanger ending... (which readers like me already know what'll happen, but it's a nice suspense builder!) |
 |
| What a wonderful and extremely emotional episode |
I love K-On, and so should you.  |
| The "I love you" moment was really, really amazing. This episode weirdly makes me feel warm and fuzzy after that. Is it bad that part of me wanted Tohru to "break" though? Like yell at Kyo? |
 |
| This eps is full of emotion T T , and that cliffhanger at the end... as a non manga reader that dont know what will happen in the next eps im very EXCITED for the next week |
| Moe is Love ! Moe is Life ! |
| This was directed, voiced, and animated so beautifully. Pacing was good, and damn Kyo's VA (Yuuma Uchida?) made me hurt deep inside. Please let's not traumatize Kyo forever.I'm also incredibly proud of Tohru for not freezing up completely and actually confessing even after getting that load of info from Kyo.Is it just me or she seems to have matured; it's like she admits her loneliness, and accepts it even. Either way 10000/10. Heart hurts. |
| I used to like this series when it started airing with season 1.. but after watching more shows and reading manga. This show started to feel very forced, forced drama, forced comedy, illogical characters. Well, can't blame since most of the anime are like this. |
| Kyou is about to lose another woman if he doesn't fucking go back and protect Tohru from yandere Akito. Seriously, "fragile health" my ass. God, this episode was so tense and so nicely executed despite it being almost pure monologue. And an user dared to call it "filler"... seriously, this people. Well, the truth is finally out and even though Kyou claims and claims Kyouko's death is his fault, I totally disagree with him. He hadn't seen her in years and honestly, the whole situation happened way too fast for someone to think straight. Especially for someone carrying so many traumas over his shoulders. I also don't believe those words Kyouko said to him. Either she was referring to Kyou daring to break his promise of always protecting Tohru or he plain made himself believe she said those words. Recalling his wrong assumption of him being the cause of his mother's death as well. Now leaving the tragedy aside, Kyou's mindset is so fascinating. Knowing about the way in how he made Yuki "the bad guy" in order to keep maintaining his own sanity was truly interesting. I mean, it's still sad as hell but interesting nevertheless. Before accepting Tohru, Kyou first needs to accept himself. |
| You know an episode of a show is good if one of its highlights takes place almost entirely in 1 location the whole episode. Probably the least feel good confession I've seen in a romance series. |
Immahnoob said: Jizzy, I know you have no idea how to argue for shit, tokiyashiro said: Jizzy as you would call yourself because youre a dick The most butthurt award goes to you And clearly you havent watched that many shows thats why you cant determine if a show is unique or not Or maybe you're just a child who likes common stuffs where hero saves the day and guys gets all the girls. Sad taste you have there kid you came up to me in the first place making you look more like a kid who got slapped without me even knowing it and start crying about it to me |
| This episode was something else man, so much happened in the span of of 24 minutes. Kyo went through so many traumatic experiences. |
| Damn, so that's how that all went down. Kyo's had it pretty rough huh? If Akito tries to attack Tooru, and I'm sure that'll happen next ep, I hope Tooru is able to get outta that situation. Also very untimely that Yuki chases after Kyo, leaving Tooru by herself. |

| Another great Kyo X Tohru episode. This hit hard. That piece of trash Akito is here with her knife, I hope she trips and gets stabbed by it. |

LMAO! most people here been watching/reading more things and for waaay longer time than you my friend, so your tentative of criticizing the series implying that it gets less enjoyable based in the number of things someone watched fall completely flat, not to mention super pretentious, but your messy list speaks enough. I'm speaking of myself here not general public.. people develop there own taste and liking. Some people takes time develop their taste and some not. Just because someone has watched more anime doesn't mean their opinion is superior. I know my liking and taste well. I'm not going to question your list or whatever because thats your personality and liking. |
| that hurt that hurt that hurt that hurt. that hurt way too much. i cant even describe what im feeling but that hurt. and fuck akito hurts honda kyo's guilt will pile up even more |
Oh wow Akito is here to see Tohru confess to Kyo, hope nothing bad happens when Tohru is defenseless and have no one around her : ^) |
| damn this episode was crazy, but fuck that cliffhanger got me worrying not gonna lie |

Its not action show... |
SHIELD_ATTACK said: Its that true that Kyoko hate kyo-kun? something wrong!!! Tohru must be confused now.. Be a man kyo cmoonnn no, she doesnt hate kyo because she understand kyo's pain and loneliness ( plus it was obv that kyoko dont have any sort of hatred towards kyo so why would she be mad). idk if this is a spoiler but he said that kyoko didnt forgive him well she actually didnt finished her sentences. because kyo mentioned in this ep that he made a man's promise with kyoko so yeah basically what she saying is that if u broke the promise, i wont forgive u. |
