Akito is just the devil incarnate, his superiority complex and his position as the head of the family turned him into the most repugnant character ever. All the Zodiac kids have suffered from severe trauma inflicted by him, and Shigure looks like the one who had it easy compared to the rest, but instead of doing something about it, he keeps using these unfortunate kids to do the work for him. This season gets darker by episode.

Writer/writers: How sad should we make Rins past?
Agent: yes

Akito tried to murder Rin, wtf!? If shigure would've known how to break the curse I feel like he would've already done it. I was mad when Rin broke up with Haru but it makes sense now.

Akito pushing Rin out of the window makes me wish the slowest, most painful death upon him.

Quite surprised on Rin and Haru having slept together when they were like ~15 and even more how Rin's parents aren't in jail for child abuse and Akito for attempted murder.

Arisa and Hanajima's backstories troubled me pretty much, yet this story was even more shocking for me 😨! I wouldn't be able to say why exactly.
It was incredible, but that's the same way I react at high level emotional stress, especially when someone is mad at me or I feel rejected😦! At any rate, this episode made me think really hard about something:
Yet, I'm nagged by the idea that we should find a place in our hearts for such repugnant people as well. After all, it's obvious these people are in error and blinded by their own weakness. They cannot be healed if we turn our back on them or treat them with hostility.

I've already become used to Akito's behavior
I would say that Akito's inhumanity and malice convince me even more that something horrible may have happened to this character as well. I'm trying to prepare myself for the moment when Akito's past will be revealed
Akito may even kill a zodiac member, but never defeat a loving heart. I wonder if Akito doesn't go berserk and try to destroy those who are capable of love out of envy. If I'm right, this character is even more pitiful than I thought.

As for Shigure, my hunch is that he tries to make us think he doesn't care about others and uses them to accomplish his own interests, but in fact it's quite the opposite: he secretly works to save everyone.

rin's background, truly masterpiece of writing.
while akito is less worthy a shit.
but now we know the origin of rin's wound.

This one was hard to watch. "Hurt people hurt people" they say, thus Rin was cold towards everyone. I wonder why Akito is the way they are, I wonder what made them be so mean.

Easily my favourite episode so far. Rin was traumatised even more than any of the other Zodiacs bar maybe Yuki. Shit was dark asf. Highlighted the villainy of Akito even more.

Also, I suddenly appreciate Tohru's air-headedness even more.

Without a doubt one of the darkest episodes so far.
And just how worse can Akito get ?

Isuzu/Rin's parents were so vile. "I don't know how I'm supposed to love you. I can't anymore." You didn't genuinely try you worthless creature!

I just don't feel like Akito is redeemable at all.

I'm wondering if everyone knows ( specially Haru ) that Akito pushed Rin ?

Like Haru's well known for the "Black haru" but did shiiit to Akito ? Seems weird to me.

Even if they are curse or sum, or Akito can manipulate them, you can't tell me one of them can't hit me or bring a weapon ? idk seems very hard to understand the victimisation around each Zoldiac.

I've never hated an anime character the way I hate Akito.
He needs a real slap.
