| THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE. ---------------------------------------- Ah, more reminiscing of Toru's mother this episode. She always remember the fond memories of her. A major recurring theme in this show/season seems to be family love so it's not surprising there's more of those scenes. She and Kyo also had some amusing and somewhat emotional. Yuki also seems thankful for everything Toru has done for him so far in the show. |
 |
| Special ED (listed as IN): "Haseru Mirai (馳せる未来)" by Uta Arii (ウタ・アリィ) It seems like the vocalist also performed soundtrack to 1st season. |

| As a manga reader, this episode was done really well, loved the insert music. Congrats to Hiro having a little sibling on the way. Akito is finally here plus Kureno too. Ah yes, Shigure stirring things as always. This episode adapted chapter 58 and 59. They also mentioned Ren this episode. oh no. But it's not over yet I'm really excited about the upcoming episode for this arc because it's one of my favorite moments in the manga, it's gonna get more emotional. |

| One of the best episodes yet. Loved everything about this episode and this season. It will continue to get better and better. |
| A very emotional episode, Toru seems worried about everyone's parents and she believes when she brings up her mom so much it hurts them. Since they have never been wanted by their mothers/fathers. Seeing how everyone perceives Akito makes the characters seem more real and it shows Yuki isn't the only one who was traumatized by him. Shigure wants to stir up some drama to get whatever he wants. Lastly, Tour has her own importance with Kyo and Yuki in some touching moments. This is one of the best episodes yet. |

| I loved this episode! I can really understand Yuki's perspective, since it is both immensely satisfying and terrifying when you finally confront something you've been keeping bottled up inside for a long time. Also, I must say I loved Kyo carefully hiding his instinct to laugh as Tohru recounted the story of watermelon splitting with her mother. |
| Every day you can read a book or watch some anime is a good day! |
| Another great episode and that ending quite emotional. Yuki appreciating Akito showed up again and Kyou was yet again excluded from the meeting. Looks like Yuki is not the only one that has been traumatised by Akito. Poor Kisa. The scene with the shooting star was beautiful. Yuki appreciating Tohru kindness... it was emotional. |
 |
| Amazing episode! Akito makes a reappearance and right away there's all sorts of conflicting emotions. Gee, just what's the big picture behind this curse? Shigure's finally making moves now too... I'd a feeling we'd be ending on a powerful note when the ED didn't kick in but the credits started rolling in, and I couldn't have asked for more. Brilliant insert song to accompany, as well. Stellar buildup with the stunning shooting stars, too. It's going to take some fighting from Yuki but I can't wait to see that in due time. Congratulations to Hiro, by the way. It was sweet to see the others celebrating it in their own ways, lol. Kyo and Tohru sharing a nice little moment too, this episode pretty much had it all. I'm really curious behind the whole thing sorrounding Kureno-san though, it kind of felt .. off. |

| Akito really is a disgusting freak, gross. That last Yuki x Tohru moment was beautiful but not as good as Tohru x Kyo moment from s1. |
 |
| As expected, Akito's sudden appearance caused a stir in our cast. So did Kureno though, I'm intriged about his relationship with the other Soumas. The scene when Momiji said "I wanna go back soon" was heartrending for me. His voice and the face he made when saying that showed the abysmal difference between how he feels when he is with Tohru and how he does when he is with Akito. By the way, does anyone remember who Ren-san is? When Shigure mentioned them I couldn't remember who was he talking about (even worse because it's likely one of his nicknames) |

| finally we're getting to the deep parts of the story. i love yuki with all my heart. |
 |
| Oh man my heart! That last scene was so beautiful. I know I'm in the minority and weebs love them some tsunderes, but Yuki has always been my personal fave. He's always felt like the most realistic, most "human" character to me. |
| *Mourning the disappointment of The Promised Neverland season 2.* |
| OOOOOOOOF THAT LAST SCENE With the special new ED playing in the background. That last set of scenes, that setup, those visual cues, the subtle buildup between Tohru and Yuki, coupled with flashbacks actually utilized effectively (watch and learn, you shounen writers). The sky clearing up, the meteor showers, the heartfelt dialogue. TOO PERFECT. Oh man.... Tohru: But why....why do you look so sad? Yuki: That's because....you're like the sky. I'm so sad (voice starts cracking).....because you're.....so dear to me... Me watching this part:  |
 |
MegamiRem said: Akito really is a disgusting freak, gross. That last Yuki x Tohru moment was beautiful but not as good as Tohru x Kyo moment from s1. I would personally disagree, because I thought the special ED and visual symbolism (the sky opening up and the meteor showers) made the last scene in this episode feel all too fulfilling and emotional, at least for me. Nothing against Kyo x Tohru, though...those are sweet in their own right, especially how the chemistry between them works. |
|
| That ending though. My heart. When I first watched Fruits Basket as a kid I loved Kyo so much and barely pay any mind to Yuki... But now, as an adult, I can say that Yuki is my favorite character of the anime for sure. The feels. Goddammit. |
 |
| Damn, Akito keeps being more and more disgusting each episode. Why is she so horny? And why does no one do anything to dethrone her if she's that much of a hell? Like, her petite body is just there in front of you.. what keeps you guys from snapping that neck? Are they unable to oppose her for some reason? But if so, they can just let someone else do the job. That last moment was beautiful tho. Edit: I guess as I predicted, she sees Sohmas as her own personal harem. |

| If you read Eleceed you're automatically my friend. |
| I hate her. I don't care about her past, I hate Akito. How can she do that to them, especially Kureno. She doesn't let him see anyone, keeps him locked up until she wants him. And Yuki... she tried to break that boys beautiful soul. Man, this episode has me sobbing 😭 Why do they put up with it? I don't understand; if she makes their lives so miserable and treats them like posessions, why don't they turn their back on her? I guess that'll be answered in the future |
 |
| I actually like Akito tbh. Enjoyable episode again, especially the ending was strong. |
One Piece episode 914 & 915 & 1027 were a mistake and 957 brought the salvation - FMmatron |
By the way, does anyone remember who Ren-san is? When Shigure mentioned them I couldn't remember who was he talking about (even worse because it's likely one of his nicknames) I'm actually surprised they even mentioned Ren in this episode. They won't show up until way later so don't worry about it. You're not supposed to know who it is yet :) |
| They adapted the manga chapters for this episode quite well this week, especially the ending with Tohru and Yuki. Anyway, comparison time... This episode adapted Chapters 58 and 59. Some scenes got shuffled around from their original order for the anime and some scenes had lines or small bits removed. I'm not gonna comment on every line that was removed. But here were the notable differences I spotted in this episode: -Some lines were removed in the scene where Shigure is interacting with Tohru and the kids for the anime at the beach. Plus, the scene showing Hiro and Kisa talking about the pregnancy of Hiro’s mother and Hiro remarking he didn’t want to grow up to be an adult like Shigure was also removed. -Some bits of the scene where Tohru and the guys talk about the pregnancy were removed for the anime. This includes:
-Following Haru’s chopping of one of the watermelon, there is a removed line from Yuki where he commented on not chopping any more watermelon or eating the one that Haru just chopped. -When Hatori threatened Shigure over his meddling, he didn’t brandish a scalpel to threaten Shigure with in the manga. -Tohru’s inner thoughts on her earlier encounter with Akito and the suffering Akito gives to the cursed Sohmas as Shigure and the younger Sohma are about to leave got removed for the anime. -There weren’t as many shooting stars in the night sky observed by Yuki and Tohru in the manga. |
| Oh yeah, that hit right in the kokoro.... |
| well that's just my opinion..... |
| As always Fruits basket never failed to disappoint me. As a manga reader they did this episode so perfectly, I loved it so much. I loved both Tohru x Kyo and Tohru x Yuki moment. Especially the special ending, it got me emotional. This episode is definitely a 5/5 for me. |
 |
| Simply amazing,. |
| Watashi wa a victim of cyberbullying. Everyday someone online calls me a "weeb" desu. Watashi won't stand for this. 26 percent of bullying victims are chosen due to their race or religion desu. I may look like a basic white boy, but deep down I am Nihongo desu. Watashi religion is anime. Anata wa bullying me because of my race and religion desu ka? Disgusting desu. Anata should be ashamed of yourself, racist pig. A baka gaijin like anata is probably jealous of my race and culture, cause Nippon is more sugoi than your shitty country desu. Watashi pity anata. You'll never be Nihongo like watashi. Educate yourself on nani a "weeb" is. |
| gosh, this episode was so emotional during the end, and the music just made it that much better. i'm so glad yuki was finally able to open up and tell tohru everything he's been feeling. but also..daily reminder that i hate akito and her character makes my blood boil |

| So we got chapters 58 & 59 in this episode. Everything was done perfectly, especially the end with Yuki and Tooru. <3 Loved that insert song that played instead of the ending song. (Of course, the Kyou-Tooru moments were sweet too.) Happy to see Kureno again. So now that Akito is here shit is going down. Shigure mentioned Ren too (but we will learn about that person a lot later). In the next episode we get to see again my dear |
| Waiting for Gundam SEED Movie..... (ಥ‿ಥ) Waiting for Sailor Moon Cosmos..... o(≧▽≦)o |
| Hmmm quite the episode. Eagerly awaiting the explanation of how their family works and why everyone basically bows down to him. Probably some supernatural, zodiac related reason to why he is leader, but that still doesn't explain why he's such a cunt. It's nice to see that Yuki is becoming strong enough to not break down after seeing Akito. |
| the ending when yuki was breaking down in front of tohru i'm crying no yukiii :(( also the kyo + tohru moments were gold nice nice |
| Another pregnancy in anime, Japan is really pushing the babymaking, uh? Jokes aside, Tohru looks ok after hitting the watermelon with her hand, that's good. Every Souma has an episode with Akito, even the children I know, but seeing Kisa's relief after hearing that Tohru won't go and see her was like, damn. Shigure is no angelhe has to be really twisted to can get along with Akito, really want to discover what is that man up to. At the end, poor Yuki... but why did I get the impression that he will go away? |
| No tomo malas decisiones, solo me gusta apoyar causas perdidas. Disfruté Mayoiga, Ou-sama Game, Evil or Live, Mirai Nikki, Big Order, Arifureta, Ex-Arm, Tesla Note, Shuumatsu no Harem y Platinum End nope les falle con esa, lo siento pero todos tenemos nuestros límites. Así de jodido es mi gusto en anime, ¡Y estoy pinche orgulloso de ello!  |
| Quite an interesting episode! Shigure has arrived and so has Akito with Kureno and Hatori! Didn't take long for things to get stirred already. I still don't like Akito at all, something about him/her just makes me angry and eventho I did like Shigure a lot in S1, he's not quite up there anymore after his recent shemes. That ending was pretty emotional between Yuki and Tohru, was quite a powerful scene under that night sky! Insert song was nice and I love how Yuki opened up about how much she means to him, I wonder if he will ever be able to tell her that he was the one that gave her that hat! |
 |
| hot damn what an ep, so many things going on. Kyo's mom killed herself, Akito being an absolute bitch once again, Shigure being the absolute schemer and yuki's sorta confession at the end. looking forward to the next few eps lol |
 'On-Hold' is another way for a completionist to say 'Dropped' |
| BEST EP OF THIS SEASON 2 BEAUTIFUL BEAUTIFUL BEAUTIFUL Ahh I love this ep there were so many mysterious things happening in this ep and then that last scene was just heartwarming and gorgeous |
 |
| I don't ship TooruxYuki but this episode was VERY beautiful. The sunset, the song, the shooting stars... and the way he compares her to the sky (that she is unreachable for him). Really nice stuff. ;_; The little Kyoru moment was sweet too :) |
  |
| I knew what was coming and I thought that I had prepared myself, but boi was I wrong Uta Arii has blown me away yet again with her insert song! Phenomenal! I can't be grateful enough that we got such an amazing adaptation of Fruits Basket almost 20 years since the manga ended |
 |
| Episode of the year. Man, this episode was handled so masterfully is unreal. Akito's atmosphere is really intense. Tohru's watermelon tale with her mom was heartwarming, but damn, that last bit with the shooting stars and Yuki x Tohru moment was so beautiful I can't even convey how amazing it is. It's up there as one of the most beautiful anime scenes I've seen. |
| "We could make the world better, but it's easier to just shut our eyes." ~Blackwall |
| Casual reminder this series is the feelsbringer; power, all I can say. And Ren was mentioned....OH BOY |
| Don't believe the hype. |
| Okay, Akito arrived. Party's over folks. But seriously, what a piece of shit this guy... woman can be. The moment with Kisa being afraid of him/her beating Tohru (flashback of Kisa at the hospital included) had my blood boiling in such a way. And also, Kyou's mother killed herself? Damn... .................... Well, we have been having a lot of Tohru x Kyou moments these last few episodes so of course, things needed to be more balanced with Yuki and oh boy, what a beautiful moment he and Tohru shared: under the starry sky, seeing shooting stars while being at the shore of the beach. I mean, it couldn't have been more shoujo than that and it was fantastic. So I guess I can take this sequence as the moment where Yuki finally recognizes he fell in love with Tohru? Overall, amazing episode this week. It was almost perfect in every aspect. |
| You just have to love how well Akito is written. She's written so evil and self-centred but at the same time you can tell it's coming from somewhere important to the character in a way that it isn't all just purely evil spirited. I love this stuff so much. |
 |
| Akito pisses me off and I'm also scared of what she might do to them. Tohru is breaking apart right now and I don't think she could defend herself against her if she were to attack. |
| 臭い- |
| "You're so dear to me" Thats it im in tears boys and girls. Holy crap I thought he was at least going to call her Tohru but no he brought out the bigger guns and hit us hard AF. Yo Akito and Shigure are straight GARBAGE. I mean Akito more but damn Shigure literally only cares about himself and I guess Akito. Wow. |
| Listen to my podcast https://anchor.fm/waifusandweeaboos Follow my twitch. https://www.twitch.tv/sorasensei1 Spring 2024 Waifus on Profile "You can have multiple Waifus" -me |
| Still quite a mystery what Shigure's motives are. I don't think it's anything completely evil or anything, but maybe more like a whatever-it-takes approach? Regardless of the consequences for others? Akito was really intimidating here. The music helped too. She just gives me the intimidating and creepy vibes. The Soma family is really abusive, especially the closer you get to the top i.e. Akito... Lots of emotional moments this episode. Tohru wondering whether her talking a lot about her late mom hurt the others. Still find it difficult to imagine how most of the Zodiacs basically had no moms with their absence and lack of care. Good thing at least Hiro's mom seems to be fine. "I love goats" though, that's one strong and kind mom! So how did he end up being such a brat lol Kyo continues to show how perceptive he is of Tohru. I like how they've become so close like this. But it seems Kyo lied about what happened to his mom, saying she got into an accident when we know she committed suicide. And what caught me by surprise was that last scene on the beach. It was beautiful and very emotional. It seems in the past, Yuki would've crumbled upon Akito doing something like that. But now he knows that he's not useless or worthless, because Tohru has shown him that. That kiss on the forehead and the tears. That was just so beautiful. Everything about it was perfect: the music, the setting, the dialogue. "That's because you're like the sky. Because you're... so dear to me." Looks like we're headed towards more conflict. I'm on the edge of my seat here waiting to find out what everything is all about (Shigure's scheming, Akito's motivations, what Yuki's gonna do, etc.). |
