Fruits Basket (2019) Episode 10 – a New Villain Emerges…?

This week Kyo gets up on the wrong side of the bed. At Shigure’s suggestion that he take the opportunity to get to know Yuki a bit better on their date (a double date between Kyo and Kagura, Yuki and Tohru, not the two boys! That’d be quite the development, huh?) he completely flips his lid. Tohru must intervene for him to regain his composure. Meanwhile, while the quartet are out and about on their date, Shigure pays the Sohma compound another visit. During a conversation that takes place between him and Hatori, Shigure reflects on a dream that he once had. He says that he doesn’t care who he has to hurt to make this dream a reality. Firstly, why would Kyo get quite so upset at the suggestion that he try to get along with Yuki? And, secondly, what is the exact nature of Shigure’s dream? And what would it mean for the other characters were it to be realised? Since this episode never explicitly answers these questions, now’s as good a time as any to churn out some wacky fan theories!

Fruits Basket (2019) Episode Eight – New Year’s in May and Tohru’s Biggest Flaw

Happy New Year’s, everybody! I hope that you all had an excellent holiday season, spent enjoying family, friends, and good food! Wait, that’s not right… Ha, ha! I wish that anime would at least try to coincide its holiday-themed episodes with the actual time of year in which they’re aired, but oh well! It’s probably more complicated than I think! Unfortunate timing aside, this week’s New Year’s themed episode of Fruits Basket (2019) was a good one! Tohru may have encouraged Yuki and Kyo to spend New Year’s with the rest of the Sohma clan, but, after some reflection, they both decided to spend it with her instead. This saved her the heartache of having to spend the holidays alone for the very first time. With each new episode of Fruits Basket (2019) we gain more and more insight into our characters. This week’s episode was no exception…

During this week’s episode of Fruits Basket (2019) we got to visit the Sohma compound for the very first time. We also got to learn more about the cool and aloof Hatori Sohma. This episode is like an iceberg: there’s a lot going on on a surface level, but, if you care to dive deeper, there’s even more going on beneath the surface. Join me as I dive headfirst into my analysis of this week’s episode.
