| How Akito and Shigure don't have STDs sleeping around so much, I have no idea. My respect for Ayami and Hattori has gone up. They're the only members of the inner circle who did the smart thing and got out of dodge and cut their ties with Akito. No, you can't save spiteful bitches and you shouldn't feel sorry for them. I know it because it happened in my family. Don't waste decades of your life hoping they'll change because it won't happen. Cut the cancer out of your life and move on. They reap what they sow. Ofcourse, the show is probably going to have a redemption arc where Akito magically becomes a nicer person and everyone hugs her and pats her on the head, but... bleh. How fanciful. |
| Loved the episode, Shigure is one of my favourite characters |
Shigatsu wa Kimi no Uso is shit |
| Shigure wants to both spoil her rotten and crush her to a pulp? That's a twisted love he has. The entire family is twisted in a lot of ways. |

hanjiswh0re said: thought akito was gay then i remembered 'he' was a girl anyways I DIDNT EXPECT THAT WTF I MEAN I KINDA DID BEC I WATCHED THE TRAILER BUT WHAAAAAAAAT AKITO LOOKS LIKE 10 YEARS IF NOT MORE YOUNGER THAN SHIGURE ?????????? Well it is stated this episode that Akito is "over 20" and we know that shigure is 28 so it's more like a 6-7 years age difference at most |
| I felt like so much happened in this episode. But whoa what an episode it was! I am truly in love with this anime, and it feels like we're finally getting started on all the chaos that is going to come out in this season. So Shigure and Akito... that's why he lives in the house with the boys and not on the estate, totally makes sense now. I kinda didn't see this coming, although now I think it answers the question of where Shigure's loyalties lie unless something else happens in the story. I loved the quote "You deny your femininity, and yet you're always ready to use it as a weapon against me" - I felt like this defines Akito so so well. This is my first time waiting weekly for episodes to come out and I have to say, it's a killer. I need more ;-; |

| Spicy Very Spicy to say the least |
 |
| This episode was so cute! Favorite moments were definitely Yuki and Machi's interaction and Kyo getting all flustered over Tohru being sad <3 I also thought Akito dreaming about Shigure while with Kureno was hilarious. I'm really enjoying the amount of screen time Akito is getting and I'm looking forward to seeing more of her character this season ~ |

   Skibbidy skib skib skaa say "NO" to fanservice |
| jesus, Akito is so toxic. Unfortunately, I am afraid that because they showed her the past, suddenly everyone will forgive her. She almost killed Rin, mentally abused almost everyone, used violence, but no, she has an unpleasant childhood, so let's forgive her. Bruh, she should be mentally healed. Shigure should find a normal partner, but I bet he will heal her with his love and everyone will live happily ever after XD |
| I hope Akito doesn't get forgiven just cause she's a bitch with a "sad" history. |
| Humans only live for a hundred years, it is as unreal as a dream that ends in an instant. What is the point of a person living in this world? No more than just being on a journey, and witnessing interesting things. Although I do not want to die, I do not fear death. I am already on my right path, I have no regrets even if I die. — Fang Yuan (Reverend Insanity) |
| Shigure really slept with both Ren and Akito... eeeee. And Kureno was having pity sex with Akito the whole time, while Shigure hated him because he actually likes Akito... romantically?? I forgot how fucked this whole thing is. The Shigure and Akito relationship has always been a big yikes for me, they're so sadistic to each other. Their relationship is entirely toxic and I don't ever remember being okay with them being paired together. At least the age gap isn't so bad. This whole time I thought Akito was the same age as Yuki and Kyo. Judging from the preview, next episode should be about Machi focused? The scene with her and Yuki on the stairs was really cute. As a manga reader I want to see the rest of the story animated asap T_T I don't want to wait weekly for all of it ahhhh |
   |
| I would like to see more of Shigures darker side. He has for sure some unhealthy thoguhts about Akito |
Oh first the scarf and now the flower at the ED. Small details but I thought it was nice hehe.  |
| Akito's character and her dynamic with the Zodiac members are some of the most complicated and intriguing story threads I've seen in recent anime. The writing of this series is incredible to be able to support a plot like this without the audience giving up for it being too complex. |
 |
| damn Shigure clapped both Akito and her mom? |

tinywoodenrobot said: peachyixxy said: Yeah, I'm gonna assume that everyone's distantly related enough that it's not too too bad, especially since they're a huge "clan" more than a "family." It still bothers me, though. I guess because the idea of clans is kind of foreign to me, and because all the main Soumas are so close and have known each for so long that it kind of just registered as "these people are close family" in my head. I can see that that's not the case, though. (And trust me! I never wanted it to be the case) And, yeah, this isn't the only thing that makes Kureno/Akito/Shigure's dynamic uncomfortable to me. There's so much toxicity there, and... well, Shigure sleeping with Akito's mom and then her is just... wow. Also, is it ever stated how much of an age gap there is between Shigure and Akito? I mean, I know they're both adults at this point, but I was super bothered by that flashback of him giving Akito the flower and saying that he loved her... like she just seemed really young and he looked like he was already an adult at that point. The Fruits Basket wiki's telling me Shigure's 28 by the end of the series and Akito's somewhere in her 20s, so they've got at most an 8-year difference between them. But I think it's probably less than that. As adults, that's not really an issue, but yeah I do think it's strange how Shigure has held this interest in Akito ever since their age difference WAS more significant when they were kids. |

As adults, that's not really an issue, but yeah I do think it's strange how Shigure has held this interest in Akito ever since their age difference WAS more significant when they were kids. Currently, Shigure is 27 and Akito is very likely 21. Ritsu is currently 23, and was about 2 or so years old in the flashback when Akito was born. So that makes her (Akito) about 21. So Akito and Shigure have about a 6 year age gap. Gotcha! Yeah, so not as bad as 8 years. |

Oh, absolutely. Like I said, that kind of difference between two kids is a way bigger issue than between two adults. To have romantic(?) feelings for someone when you're 6 years older than them and to have had them since you were a kid... very weird. Like, a 13-year-old confessing to a 7-year-old?? Not great. |
|
| Damn, Sakamoto-san and Nakamura-kun voices were so freaking good!!!! |
My Candies:              |
| So many WTF moments in this episode! Somehow I can hardly blame Shigure even though I don’t agree with this kind of revenge. Some comment on YT said ‘As much as I hate NTR. NTR should be answered with NTR’. Guess it kinda works in this case. |
 |
| a little more look into akito, more specifically her relationship with shigure. who's also hella twisted holy shit |
| This love triangle is fucking hilarious. No way around it. |
 Behold of my awesomeness~ controversial and/or sensitive topics likely devolve into the same repetitive, derogatory, abusive, and harassing comments can no longer be posted. But my feels. |
| So, Tohru is actively trying to break the curse now, I wonder if someone can help her! |
| All weebs creatures of the galaxy, hear this message. Those of you who listen will not be struck by western animation. You will no longer know hunger, nor pain. Your Anime have come to lead you now. Our strength shall serve as a luminous sun toward which all intelligence may blossom. And the impervious shelter beneath which you will prosper. However, for those who refuse our offer and cling to their western animation ways… For you, there will be great wrath. |
| Akito is becoming increasingly complexed, and I'm all for it. Not that I forgive her actions, but her character is one of the most interesting I've ever seen. I need more Yuki x Machi moments. They're cute, and so meant for each other! The stakes sure started high this season, and this episode clearly showed how the rest of the season is going to be. We got to see yet another side of Shigure this episode. Was it his real one? I still don't know. But damn, the themes became way more adult this season. I am now more confused as to what is Shigure's real intentions. |
 |
| The flower scenes just stole the show, my god, that was one of the cutest scenes EVER! Machi getting more flushed and agitated by the day, nice to see, and having all this on the first half really made you think it would be a chill episode right? NOPE Shigure and Akito were savage damm. |
 |
| Akito sure is worst jerk ever, man I knew he was a fox but damn sun this is far worst. |
| Shigure is indeed the most cunning, complex character. Sneaky bastard, but really interesting. You gotta appreciate how great a character he is. He seems so innocent, you never see it coming. But, naturally, for a person to actually love and match the monster that is Akito.. they gotta be pretty fucked up theirself. In truth, they are a good match. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ As someone who thought Akito did not deserve a happy ending with anyone, Shigure could definitely do better. But they do make sense together. |
| Yes yes this is still Fruits Basket yes yes yes |
| All I can say is the Soma family is way more fucked up than the Kardashians. Jayzuz Krist man. The relationship Akito and Shigure have is way too fucking toxic. I don't care if any of ya'll ship them but they cannot have a normal relationship. Best part of this episode was my sweet girl Machi. |
| 臭い- |
Red said: Oh first the scarf and now the flower at the ED. Small details but I thought it was nice hehe. Oooo Well spotted!! love that detail |
 |
| It seems that the mangaka wrote Akitio's character in such a way to deliberately put people off by everything she does. Knowing this, I feel nothing towards Akito, and episodes like this become dull. But at least I got to know the reason why Shigure behaved like this in the past two seasons. 2/5 |
| "Life is too bitter, so coffee, at least should be sweet..." - Hikigaya Hachiman (Yahari Ore no Seishun Love Come wa Machigatte Iru) |
| Okay, so that is a thing... Am I the only one who really doesn't give a shit about Akito? Like, at all? |
| It's as if this series flipped a switch inside my brain. It keeps getting more and more interesting. Pacing is great. Second half of the episode is an easy 10/10. |
| I sometimes forget to finish my sentences. |
| Jesus Christ. Everyone in this show needs therapy except Tohru’s school friends. Every time Akito or Kureno come on screen I legit feel like throwing up. That being said, I will continue watching because it is rare for an anime to evoke such emotions in me. |
| Hold the F on, I can understand Shigure loving Akito but he slept with her mother Ren?! With how twisted and toxic they are, they definitely deserve each other. |
