In this episode of Shoujo Sundae, Chika and Giana review episodes fifty-seven through fifty-nine of Fruits Basket (2019)! In episode fifty-seven, we learn about Ren and Akira’s love story, and the terrible way Ren treated Akito as a child. When Akira dies, a maid gives Akito a box “containing Akira’s soul”. Ren, unaware of what is inside the box, violently attacks Akito to take it from her. Kureno tries to console Akito after another zodiac bond breaks, assuring her she can start over. Akito hurts Kureno in response. In episode fifty-eight, Kyo and Tohru have a difficult conversation about her feelings for him and his past relationship with Kyoko, including him being at the site of her fatal accident. In episode fifty-nine, Tohru helps Akito decide to start over, only to fall from a dangerous height as the ground below her crumbles beneath her feet. Kyo breaks down at the sight of her injuries. In episode sixty, Akito apologizes to Uo for stabbing Kureno, who shows her compassion. Uo and Kureno talk about the future. Yuki and Kyo fight, finally telling one another how they truly feel about each other. Kyo visits his father, who is cruel to him, blaming him for his mother’s death. After she is discharged, Tohru sprints away at the sight of Kyo outside the hospital.Grab your spoon, and let’s dig in!This episode was edited by the wonderful PJ of the Kawaii Desuppointment podcast!
