| This episode was an absolute rollercoaster!! I'm crying like crazy!! I adore Kyo and Tohru. I'm so happy with their character development. <3 Finally, after all of the heartache, the Sohma's are free. I can't believe Fruits Basket is almost over. I can't wait for the next episode. |
| Such a cathartic episode. Just really good all around. Now what? I guess Yuki and Machi? We haven't seen his curse break yet technically. |
| Kyou's "Remember it on your own" sounded so raw and bashful fuyfufufuf. I feel so different compared to seeing them get together in 2001; this feeling is so much more complex.I feel like for a second I also fell for Tohru too. P.S. On a total sidenote, did they forget to draw in her bandages at Kyo's confession? Did she never have bandages? |
| Yes Kyo finally confesses to Tohru and they are so cute with one another. I really liked that voice over of Akito in the 2nd half of the ep. I'm just waiting for Yuki and Machi to get together now. |
 |
| How did I manage to cry the entire episode non-stop, I have no idea. So many feels. |
| It's over. It's all over. The Curse of the Zodiacs is finally over. It feels like quite the journey, all the way from season 1, to finally reach this point. This episode was amazing, beautiful, and sad. I can't even imagine how it feels to have an eternal bond like that, to be born with that as a part of you, and then one day it just disappears, leaving an empty hole where it had been since the day you were born. Even after everything they've been through, that hole leads to feelings of loneliness and separation. But now they can finally begin their lives, not as the Zodiacs, but as themselves. Tohru running away is still so hilarious. But her moment with Kyo was beyond beautiful. Tohru is just so sweet. Saying her love is invincible... I have no words for how sweet and wonderful that was! It was great to see the reaction of the remaining Zodiacs to what happened. Did I miss something, or there was no Yuki? Or had his curse broken in the previous episodes and I forgot? Anyway, that confession from Ayame was sudden but sweet. It must feel like a great burden has been lifted from Hattori's shoulders, after all the pain he went through. Remembering that, I'm not sure how I feel about Akito. She was both a perpetrator and a victim, though she was a perpetrator because she was a victim, a victim of her long-gone predecessor (that first "God") and the bonds they made that long ago. But remembering what she did, especially to Hattori... But at least Akito's eyes have been opened by Tohru's kindness and love. And in the end, I found Akito crying while clutching onto Tohru to be sweet and sad. But she can finally let go, and her own life can finally begin. Fruits Basket is just amazing. |

Raizel said: I teared up a bit it was a wonderful episode but still we have seen better. What was that mark on Shigure's face? same here im wondering what that mark was on his face. i mean it hasnt been there in the last episode am i right? or did i miss something? maybe they will show it in next weeks episode |
| I’m in an emotional mess. This episode was so brilliantly well done and the OST hit me so hard. Oh my god. First half, Kyo and Tohru :>. THAT HUG AHFHDGDGDTDTF that was too beautiful. The 360 degree angle focus was handled really well and the emotions that was brought was so raw and genuine from the Va’s. Also the kiss though :”. That was done better in the anime ngl and I’m glad TMS perfected it. The zodiac story was good aswell. Tohru as the narrator melted my heart. The cat zodiac was absolutely right, accepting mortality and things would end eventually, is something that themes well of this curse. Now I’m guessing it’s Yuki and Machi ep next week, I’m interested to see how TMS direct this. |
| What a happy emotional episode, everyone's curse is broken. The end is really near eh...? good riddance so far. |
| I'm fucking convinced The curse was broken because they were all just horny asf. HAHA |
 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. |
| This is my favorite episode!!!! <3 Kyo is so handsome *o* |
| Proverbs 4:23 Above all else, guard your heart, for everything you do flows from it. |
| Wow... Just... Seeing all the curses breaking made me so emotional. Seeing the story about the curse was so nice, and it gave us an explanation as to why the cat was always different than the rest of the animals. Just two episodes for this to end... I'm not ready. |
 |
| I cried. I finally cried on this anime. The part where each curse started breaking made me do. Kinda biased but I agree that this is the best episode |
 |
| a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a aa aa a aa a a a |
 |
| i waited 13 years for this and it still got to my heart ToT |
 |
| I had my emotions in check until Ayame hugged Mine and told her how he felt. OMG! Yuki's reaction was conspicuously absent. I wonder if he will be emotional or more like Shigue's reaction. |
| I know the series it's great, when they succeed in making you feel sad for a irredeemable character without justifying their actions, man i love FuruBa |
| Literally minutes in, and I already have goosebumps. Yuki & Machi are so cute. & ugh!! The scene when he is finally freed from the curse was so cool. Akito's kimono was so pretty too! She may be crazy, but it was nice to see how she is starting to change and how that symbolizes that. & obviously Kyo & Tohru were adorable. So happy to see Kyo excited to live his life the way he wants. |

saiborg1012_ said: thoughts on the uncanny resemblance between god and akito’s father? it would make a lot of sense if he was the god before her because of how weak his health was, much like akito, however, during the somas summer get away, i believe it was either yuki or haru that mentioned another child can’t be possessed by a zodiac spirit as long as the current spirit is still alive, so it wouldn’t make much sense for akira and akito to both be god at the same time. yes, he dies shortly after but still. thoughts anyone?? Yes! And also Akito's dad was very lonely and afraid of other people, just like god. I wonder if it's like this. |
 |
| This was one of the single best episodes of an anime I've seen in a long time. The zodiac backstory bit felt very Mushishi to me. They packed so much good stuff into one episode. Super good directing. |
 "They escaped the weight of darkness, to forge a path into the marrow of the spirit. They chose to drown in a deeper vacancy, an emptiness that quells the null, a pool for the forgotten..." |
| Simply amazing. Hit me right in the feels. Almost cried. The backstory about how the whole curse/bond started was interesting. I was actually curious about that for a long time. Tohru running away from Kyo was hilarious. But her running backwards was another thing. Tohru x Kyo moment was beautiful. Now the all the "curse" is broken for everyone. Now everyone can live a normal life. |
 |
| OMG finallyyy, I've been waiting for Kyo and Tohru for so long!! The backstory of the zodiacs is interesting Can't wait for Yuki and Machi |
This episode got me so damn hard. First Kyo and Tohru's kiss, then the story of the Chinese Zodiacs, and then finally Akito's monologue. All I can say is this... |
| If you didn't watch the post-credits scene, get off this forum and go do that. The one thing I was worried about with this series was if it would be able to resolve all the loose story threads it had left dangling to this point. And my goodness are they right on track to do just that. |
 |
| I cried so much when that cat died, the cat's parting words before he died and all the other animals hating him because of what he said. I feel like I'm very emotional now because I just broke up with someone and I'm going through a lot of shit but this episode just touched me so much. Also that part where Akito pulled in Tohru and hugged her, Furuba why are you doing this to me? I want to hate Akito but you're making me cry for her. Oh yeah can't forget about that kiss between Kyo and Tohru. I was moved by the first kiss but I was more worried about her head bleeding out, this kiss and hug was more passionate and cute. |
| 臭い- |
| Amazing episode. So it is finally over, huh. That story with the cat and the other zodiac animals being invited to the banquet was really well done! 4/5 |
| "Life is too bitter, so coffee, at least should be sweet..." - Hikigaya Hachiman (Yahari Ore no Seishun Love Come wa Machigatte Iru) |
| The best season and the best episode so far. I am so glad I decided to wait until the series ended and then binge watch. What else could possibly be left to cover in the next two episodes I wonder. Not only do I feel I have received my happy ending, but with extra doses. Love it! |
 |
| i cried while watching this episode and i still almost cry when thinking about it. that poor cat aaaAaHHHHH |
| Wonderful to see everyone free from their cursed bonds and the tragedies that came with it. Even more fantastic was seeing the truly lovely romance scene of Kyo and Tohru. |
 |
| I see, so only Akito would be the only one who can severe their "bond", this episode confirms it! or I think it is... 🤔 Anyway, Akito finally moved on and cut their ties with each other! I'm loving Akito more and more! I also love the "original promise" background story. |
| It's not that I dislike this genre but... to add unnecessary fan services to/in/for heroines and ultimately destroys her character and personality; their purity tarnished because of it, is the only thing I hope to not happen to them. For that sole purity is my fan service. |
| WHEN TOHRU AND KYO HUGGED, AND AHHHHHH, EVERYONES CURSE BROKE AT THE SAME TIME!!!! SO HAPPYY!!!! Now I want to know about Yuki, will he also be able to hug Machi???? |
 |
| There's nothing else to say other than I cried happily in this episode!! The narrative of the original story about the zodiac banquet, Kyo kisses Tohru for the second time, everyone is free from the curse, Ayame confesses his love to Mine and hugs her (Ayame x Mine are the cutest couple in Furuba), Rin and Haru can become a couple without anyone trying to hurt them, etc... a lot of good things happened in this episode :") but maybe the best thing is that Akito can accept herself and reality, and let go of all the burdens she has been carrying. |
 |
| This telling of the story of the zodiac broke my heart. Goodbyes are lonely. All things have to come to an end. Thank you Furuba, for giving me a form of weird closure I’ve never had. I found a voice in every single character. |
 ꕤ but i’ll probably remember over and over again you were there and everyone else was there — the day we all searched for just one thing ꕤ |
| The lore surrounding the Chinese Zodiacs may not be DEEP but it was very well done. |
 |
| Finally, curse broken. All the Soma's know that it actually feels sadder than they thought. Very well done episode |
