| THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE. ---------------------------------------- Tohru and Kyo's character chemistry is intense this episode. Kyo's feelings is very real and he is able to show how much he cares about her. Quite a touching scene imo. The narratives were also very emotional about the Zodiacs. This episode really managed to capture Tohru's feeilngs towards all the Zodiacs and of course, Kyo himself. |
 |
| Just Wonderful ep ! So intense ! |
| omg i cannot believe this anime is ending soon !! i love this roller coaster sm we finally got to see the curse break and everyone's reactions were so priceless. kyo breaking his rosary, symbolizing self acceptance. everyone feeling the sadness and loneliness of no longer having the bond but also feeling the happiness of being free from the bond really made me tear up. we now also know the original story of the zodiac curse and what the cat really meant. which portrays the message by being the only one to "reject" eternity. |

| Tohru sprinting still kills me lol. What starts with the cat, ends with the cat. Great stuff. We can see tohru put a hell of a lot of effort in trying to reconcile with Kyo, just to not be hated but she can't since every time she see's him its like a knife through her heart. Kyo shouldn't have said he's disappointed since that basically triggered her response, and it's just like tohru to not blame anyone but herself in the situation when it was mostly out of her control. The second kiss was unexpected and I kinda forgot what anime I was watching when they asked to hug - like hugs come after kissing in a relationship right?- but when the curse broke I felt that. I find it quite weird that the cursed sohma's feel lonely when the curse was broken, I get that it was a sacred bond but after what akito did I wouldn't exactly feel the same, like logically if my parents were like akito I wouldn't care less if they bond between us broke but I guess its the fact that the curse was longstanding, so the feeling of that loneliness is foreign plus I haven't been in that situation so it's more of what I think and not what I would do if that makes sense. The unspoken story was interesting, if a bit mundane at points, but did narratively explain a few loose ends like why the cat was targeted, I did find it to be quite the arbitrary explanation when they targeted the cat for being tricked, like it was his choice in the first place, it's basically blaming the victim at that point. Ayame hugging mine was sweet, didn't see the confession coming at all, not as if it was hinted, not at all. The others also seem to be enjoying their curse broken lives, even if they feel at the lonely end because of it. Seems like ultimately shigure's plan succeeded, he freed the woman he loved from the clutches of a curse that stood to ruin her life. I'm still annoyed that akito got away with everything she did, every single illegal thing mind you, and I don't really find it fulfilling for her to fully redeem herself without serving time for it, but its fruits basket so I doubt that will happen. Decent episode on the whole, time for yuki to find out his curse is broken and confess to Machi? I thought that was what this episode was going to be from the ending of the last one but hey ho better late than never! Did shigure always have those scars on his cheek? |

| Welp, Tohru running away from Kyo in an endless loop, but the Cat isn't simply gonna run away from her. The relationship chemistry between each other is ripping at the seams of the roles of their past failures, but their reconciliation is just as heartwarming. Kyo has done his part, and Tohru now has to reciprocate that she can stand together with the Cat. It's nice to see all the loops that both wretched souls have been subjected to from the very beginning, finally become one. Tohru's pep talk with the sane Akito, and the narrative of the Zodiac story from scratch to match and line up with the entire Fruits Basket story, it all has become full circle. The God's unyielding foocus on the Cat to betray the other 12 animals, if we line up with all the Soma characters, Kyo is essentially the rejected one, but yet the most liberal one. But snce they were bonded, the Banquet will keep going on and on for as long as it did. Once the bonds are all broken, everyone is back to being lonely again. Ayame could now profess his love to Mine, Rin formally love Hatsuharu, and the rest feeling the effects of freedom and hope. They fought the good fight, and finished the race. |

| Man... Tohru... How can be you be so adorable? I just adore her so much. She's a literal goddess in this show. Kyo and Tohru's had their moment as well. I love them so much. They look so cute with each other. And, then that kiss. :') The way the story of the zodiacs was told at the end made me emotional. And, now I feel bad for the way things were and the way things are now. Since Akito has given up on everything now and lets everyone go their own paths, everyone can live their own life. They're finally free from all the bonds they were carrying all along. Amazing episode. No words can describe how happy I was during this episode. Tears were shed as well. |
 |
| No doubt best episode of the series…that was amazing. |
| This episode was amazing we finally get the original promise full story. The curse-breaking was emotional as I remembered reading from the manga. Kyo and Tohru finally got to talk about their feelings and the second kiss happened and their hug scene looked incredibly animated wow. The original promise started out as a promise between the god and his friends the animals but it slowly became a curse. We got a curse-breaking scene for every character left that needs the curse break except for Yuki, looks like they are pushing him to the next episode. |
 |
| My gooooood it was more beautiful for what I remember in the manga, and I cried everything I didn't cry in the past episodes X) |
 |
| This one got me. That was so good. |
| Beautiful. I'm so happy! The mix of loneliness and happiness felt by the zodiac members was so well portrayed! The Tohru/Kyo scene was perfection! I adore this show so much. |
 |
| Kyo x Tohru moment was too damn beautiful, the kiss was really sweet. Finally Kyo's curse broke and following that everyone else's curse also broke. We finally learned the true backstory of the Zodiacs which is nice. The last half of this episode was really emotional. I teared up at some point, this episode was simply beautiful. |
 |
| So many great moments. Kyo finally said it. The curse is broken. The zodiac story. And now, at long last, the Cat is welcome to the banquet again. |
| Finally Kyo and Tohru can be together. Man this episode was so amazing. Tohru narrating the origin of the promise was really captivating. And finally the curse is broken and everyone can be free. I most definitely cried when I read the manga years ago and guess what, I had tears in my eyes throughout the episode again. Beautiful episode. Only two more episodes to go. |

| Oh my god, I am so happy, I am in tears right now that episode was all I needed. I can die happy now. That episode was so good, I have so many mixed emotions right now. |
 |
| this was such a beautiful and emotional episode. so glad to see kyo and tohru both confess their feelings and accept one another. also kamiya hiroshi as god was 10/10 |
  placeholder text |
this love is invincible!! |
| that's gotta be the best episode in the entire anime I'm so incredibly happy for everyone, there is no cast of characters I love more than these amazing people |
| Great episode, I think some things were cut weirdly though. Telling Gods story before showing all the curses broken was weird. Also where is Yuki’s curse breaking? There’s not a lot of stuff to be adapted in the 2 episodes left. I wonder how that’ll work. |
 |
| So we finally see the origins of the curse, Kyo-Tohru is a thing, and the curse is gone. Man, almost everything is sorted out. We did get absolutely zero Yuki-Machi this episode, despite how last week's episode ended. Hopefully they rectify that next week. 2 eps left... |
| *Mourning the disappointment of The Promised Neverland season 2.* |
| Well hot damn, that was a good episode. Since everyone's no longer a zodiac member, they can all live their own lives now which will be nice. Only two more episodes left to go. |
 |
| I was expecting a lot, but not Kamiya Hiroshi lol. Great episode. |
One Piece episode 914 & 915 & 1027 were a mistake and 957 brought the salvation - FMmatron |
| Wow, this was powerful! Especially the second half there, what a ride that was. It turns out that the Cat was misunderstood this whole time, I'm not quite sure how I feel about that at the moment. I'll probably have to re-watch this episode to make an opinion out of that, is the best I can say right now. Kyo ripping out the safety charm wristband got a "Yay!" from me though. Curse breaking and seeing the reactions of some of the members was very touching honestly. Yuki's brother's segment in particular hit me the most, it looked like it was coming for a long time but kept aside due to possible complications and whatnot. Isuzu's segment and Akito pulling Tohru into a hug in the end there was really nice too. For a second, I thought Kamiya Hiroshi-san would get just the one line before the ED by the way, lmao. Great to have his monologue to see us through to the end of the episode! First half was seriously adorable, meanwhile. Tohru's sprint away from Kyo's sight will go down as a classic, lol. Kyo finally facing it and the two sharing their "invincible" love was fantastic to watch! It's also really nice that the first person the two met after the incident is Kazuma-san. Nothing out of the blue there but just heartwarming, you know. Feels like the conclusion is near now and that's saddening but here's to hoping for a great finale! |

| Ahhh only 2 weeks of Fruits Basket is left, I really don't want it to end. It was a beautiful episode. Loved the scene where Kyo and Tohru kissed, I'm so happy for them. I saw the news of Kamiya Hiroshi voicing the god so I thought would have more dialogue but he only spoke at the post credits scene lol. Oh well, it was an amazing episode nevertheless. |
 |
| I have managed to cry through the whole episode this is unfair |
| This was the best episode of the series imo. Ayame's confession was so sweet. Tohru running away in the beginning was hilarious. Kyo's confession and Tohru's reply were so beautiful. But for me, the best part of this episode was the story of the original promise. God's sayonara in the end was way too emotional. I am still confused about the reason behind the curse-breaking. Did something trigger it? Or was it originally supposed to break when they all assemble together again? |
windyscar said: I am still confused about the reason behind the curse-breaking. Did something trigger it? Or was it originally supposed to break when they all assemble together again? It was explained in the shigure /Rin talk in ep 6 Basically the bonds have been weakening over time and will eventually break (which also explains why the forms of the zodiacs are smaller like hatori being seahorse instead of a dragon ~~that's mentioned in the manga).. Now there are triggers that can speed it up like forming bonds outside of the curse for example the zodiacs with tohru or even hiro/his sister And finally Akito's change and her letting them go was also a big trigger in it breaking this ep |
| A long ride was made, but this moment finally arrived. I remember discovering Fruits Basket in 2019, learning the existence of this curse and its effects on everyone. But today it came to and end and wow, another impressive and strong episode... Makes me really happy to have taken of the whole adventure, as a viewer. Fruits Basket Remake was definitely a success |
 |
| wow. JUST WOW. man I love this series so much what a beautiful episode. |
