| Bro the end of this episode had me fucking screaming at my Television. We went from GREAT development between Kyo and Tohru to complete and utter Annihilation. When I saw the Cracked Picture of her Mother in the ending song I fucking lost it. Incredible Episode. Side note: Not a fan of Short Hair Rin. But I am a friend of her and Tohru being Friends :3 |

| What a phenomenal episode. I don't know where to start... First thing to stand out is Shigure going on about the curse to Isuzu and failed to notice Tohru coming around the corner (or he knew, you never know with him and he wanted her to hear it). More surprising is the insight we got on Tohru's dad. Either I have forgotten, but I don't think he has been mentioned a lot. I remember someone asking Tohru about him before, cause all she would talk about was her mother. Now we got more and I am surprises to see that Tohru tried to copy him, so that Kyoko wouldn't leave her behind as well. That seems to fade away now, but it makes her feel that she will stop loving her mother, since Kyo came into the picture. Tohru opened up on her feelings and besides Isuzu being surprised about it being Kyo Tohru fell for and Kagura slapping her in the face, cause she needed to tell him that in person, I was expecting a confession at the end (to Kyo, cause it was more than obvious to the viewer that she has feelings for him), but my lord that cliffhanger. That definitely raised so many questions after having a few answered. Is Kyo the cause of Kyoko's death or does he feel responsible for not being able to save her? What was that scene.. I am so curious, cause it for sure looks like it's traumatizing him. |
 |
| THAT CLIFF HANGER AGGH |
 |
| I hope Tohru can open up more to Kyo about her feelings from now on. The moment was very sweet <3 Oh no, something's wrong with Kyo and I didn't like the way this episode ended >^< Now I have to wait next week for more details. Great episode as always! :D |

Marcos_Aspira said: BobaGoodness said: Now manga reader mode. I’m pretty sure they are squishing everything to 13 eps, which kinda makes me worried. If the ending is bad, I’m not gonna blame Takaya for that because she’s not really involved with the production that much in this season and she could be feeling pissed too, like us manga readers. I can see why most anime onlys are confused and I’m guessing this might be explained later. Do you have any source to confirm this information? Nothing hasn’t confirmed. It was more of a speculation. I saw a comment in one of the recent post on FB reddit regarding to this and it was also a theory, since the person is in the industry of animation. |
| Ayooooo??? Hol tf up, what was thaaat. This was probably the best episode of Fruits Basket so far. |
 |
| What Kagura said is true, Tohru needs to face her feelings head on and stop running away from them, she should tell her true feelings to Kyo. Though, by the looks of it (at the end of the episode) there are some mental barriers preventing her from doing so. Pretty Tohru-centric episode, with some of her "backstory" being explained, and I wish there was more of Tohru explained and more of her story. Final scene where Kyo and Tohru had those sights, especially Kyo's flashback, were really powerful. |
 |
| Nice to see the score keeps going up with every episode, if it dethrones Clannad and becomes the #1 romance anime I'll die in peace |
| Kagura hasn't appeared for quite a while and when she decides to show up, it's to cause ruckus and make me wanna bitch-slap her. Also, Rin with short hair is... an odd sight, to say the least. Guess it will take some time for me to get used to seeing her without her beautiful long black hair. Damn Akito. Overall, another pretty nice episode but this time, the flow of events didn't feel as organic as in previous weeks. Honestly, the bits with Kagura could have been skipped for all I care. That aside, episode totally focused on Tohru's character and the hard time she has been having at dealing with the weight of her feelings for Kyou. She finally acknowledged she loves him but is deathly afraid such realization may make her forget about her mother considering she would stop being the most important person in her heart. Not gonna lie, this matter seems kinda trivial to me since you CAN have more than one important person but given the context with Katsuya's death and Tohru's desperate attempt to copy him in order to avoid losing her mother too when she was little, I can understand that putting Kyou in first place is a huge deal for her. This said, the hug scene at sunset gave me some hope she might start getting over it with Kyou's support but guess it's still too soon for that, given that sudden double PTSD reaction at the end of the episode. Which was honestly kinda frustrating to see since it felt like all the progress the episode achieved regarding Tohru and Kyou's relationship was simply demolished with one single scene. Anyways, looking forward to next week to see how directly or indirectly involved Kyou actually was in Kyoko’s death. |

| EWWWWWWWWWWWW RIN'S HAIRCUT IS SO UGLY that mullet/bowl makes her look like some nerdy dude. xD why do authors do this? Here comes the Kyoru drama...my body is ready...not sure if my heart is though. |
  |
| FUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUCK This is the dreaded arc for Kyo...dammit I'm not ready |
| Don't believe the hype. |
Pre_Yum said: crying on mondaysWhat's with today, Man? Every show today has so many emotions. Grandpa and Kyo's chat was very deep. how much adults can damage a child's self-esteem just by believing they "don't understand". Shigure's thoughts, Kazuma's regards, each conversation deepens the feeling the end of the curse (and the series ajaj) is near filler of Kagura's exaggerated violence it's a bit annoys to me, it can be catastrophic without breaking half a house. and dispite it's a consequence of Akito's abuse, Rin was beautiful with short hair pls! and that hug ಥ◡ಥ it destroyed me |
| tohru starting to accept her feelings for kyo, their romance is getting closer and closer. but that ending holy shit ? did kyo see kyoko die? was he involved in it? is that why he feels guilty when coming to her grave? rin and kagura's interaction was pretty cute too. and now rin knows that the curse can be broken + that kureno's gone |
| This episode was emotionally powerful but rushed. Its a shame. |
| 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. |
| man that cliffhanger isn’t fair, well now I’m really interested in the death of Tohru’s mom and how Kyou plays a role in it |
 |
| A great episode, loved seeing Kagura again and we learned a lot more about Tohru’s backstory, but I think I will forever remember my reaction the ending of this episode. Absolutely blew me away, did not expect it at all. The moment Kyoko was missing from the frame and then appeared behind Kyo, got so many chills, and then the cut to Kyo remembering gruesome imagery of what looked like Kyoko’s dead body, wow. And then of course it cuts to the happy ED lol, man that was awesome. Very much looking forward to next Monday. |
| I'm not sure if I never reached this point or if it just hits different, but holy shit I did not expect the big crocodile level tears. I had no real reason to feel sad, but definitely got hit in the feels. Seiyuus are too good. It feels nice to see Kyo again (although I miss his little catxrat competitive fighting side). I feel like this episode I finally accepted(?) Tohru and her seiyuu being one person...if that makes sense. I'm interested if Kagura really thinks she likes Kyo or not, or if she internally accepts that Tohru is different and hence the emotions. |
| This is coming from someone who hasn’t read the manga, but are they skipping some things?? It seems to be going at a very fast pace compared to the last two seasons. We’ve been getting bombarded w/ new information as well. Nonetheless it was still a good episode, hopefully they slow it down a bit lmao. (side note but does the animation look kinda off? I’m not complaining I just wonder if that’s because of covid & stuff) |
| What did catboy do for Tooru like him so much? It kinda feel forced to me. |
| I'm not liking the whole repressed memories with Kyo. He knew his involvement with kyoko, thats the point. Making it repressed memories of all things is a pretty wierd change and has no reason to be there. |
| They actually skipped a lot of sentences and changing the order of events did not help convey the emotion properly. For example, Shigure's announcement that Kureno was not an isolated case and that the entire curse was about to collapse loses its impact since the scene with Momiji has already occurred, it was supposed to be a big revelation. And in detail, I just checked the missing parts of chapters 107 and 108 (which only cover a small part of the episode) : To end on a positive note, I really liked the symbolism of the end of the episode, the fact that Tohru drops his mother's photo and lets it break to help Kyo. |

All I could think about was the bedsheet being ruined, but damn, that cliffhanger is something else. Why is everyone so emotionally traumatized |
| bro holy, what a cliffhanger, such good drama in this show Now I sort of want to read the manga just because it is too good. |
| After Watching Fumetsu...then this episode adds more to my dehydration! it's really raining MONDAY! 5/5! |
 |
| I suspect Tohru's mom shoved Kyo out of harm's way and took the hit from Truck-kun. When he saw her photo, he realised it was her and "I won't forgive you!" was just him feeling guilty and assuming Tohru will feel grudge towards him. But Tohru is so kind, she would never. Anime only, btw. |
 |
| fcking saucefags legit cant even wait till the series to end to complain its just REEEE they skipped X which isnt really relevant at the end of the day and its therefore bad D:< fcking plague on this forum |
| Hottest Take Ever, fite me: Fairy Tail is better than Seiya, Bungou Stray and Hitman Reborn |
| That was a lovely moment between Kyo and Tohru.....until that last scene |
| So Tohru was not always this cheery and gentle. Pain and sorrow steeled her hearts to become so. This episode hit really hard. Even though they are children, they do understand the things in their own way. Most couple's in this show are getting a good closure now, but Tohru and Kyo's is gonna be hurtful. Ugh gotta steel my heart for what's coming next. |
When someone asks me why I like anime, I'd say Just Because. |
| Simply put, a beautiful episode. Tohru x Kyo was strong af in this episode. Thou that end has me worried. |
