I kinda like that they’ve now made Rin going that short her choice. She’s chosen a fresh start. Tohru does mention why she got so upset during the sheet scene later. She outright says it was a test for Kyo, she showed him what she viewed as her most ugly trait in hopes he’d reject her so she could put a lid on her love for him and instead he held her and said he didn’t mind. That scene where she explains that now seems like it’s going before the Sheets so it might not happen lol The manga panel of them hugging I think the reason the angles are better is it kinda looks like Kyo is kissing the top of her head lolol
This episode is definitely going to make me cry! I’m even more excited when we get Kyoko’s backstory animated it’s sad but beautiful, also I’m itching to find out who’ll be voicing Katsuya in English and Japanese.
I'm one of those people chomping at the bit for Kyoko scenes.... but I can see them wanting to put it off a bit because it explains SO MUCH. I guess I'll just have to be patient *sigh* Glad you're feeling better!
I’m gonna keep my faith that they’ll pull this off. I’m just a little worried about them covering four chapters. They might do the same thing as before and leave out some parts of the chapters for later use. Even so, if they include the important scenes, this may be the best s3 episode yet.
Flora, I think they're merging 114 w/ 109 thus making it seem they happened the same day... 109 is basically just Kyo's perspective until the sheet scene so maybe they're making Tohru's perspective of that day before the sheet scene 114 thus why she's wearing the black dress. 107 and probably 108 will be in the same episode but I don't think they will be merged with 114 since in the scene where he overhears Shigure and Rin... Tohru is wearing their school uniform as seen in the trailer. The trailer also contains the scene from 108 where we see Kyo saying to Tohru she can cry all she wants... she's wearing the uniform there.
Im so excited!! I've waited 20 yrs for the sheet scene!😍 I agree with what you said about the manga version of that scene. It seems like they're leaning more into each other during the hug. Like there's this feeling of desperation in that hug. They want so much to be close to each other. It isn't just Kyo trying to comfort her. I noticed in the anime (from the pics) that the desperation isn't as overwhelming. I could be wrong, just have to wait and see. Also, I love your beautiful red Kyo hair. 😁
I was also really pissed to find out that Kagura slapped her. I get that she's running on high emotions, but to hit her, to me goes too far. Tohru has always been kind to everyone no matter how she's treated. She deserves the benefit of the doubt. If you're upset with her, just talk. No need to be violent
In the season 3 trailer the subtitles read "I won't be *disappointed* in you." I can understand why they would change the wording here as it will probably make more sense to people, but I'm really going to miss the original dialogue. There is a subtle, but significant difference in the meaning of the two words. You are "disappointed" in a situation, or a person, if you *hoped* or *expected* a certain outcome that failed to come to pass. On the other hand, you are "disillusioned" if you *believed* something that turned out not to be true. Disillusionment is a subset of disappointment, but conveys a deeper emotion. It will be interesting to see which wording choice the dub goes with.
I'm sooo excited for this ep. The covering of 4 chapters kind of has me nervous.... I definitely think they could pull 3 off but 4 is stretching it, so hopefully nothing really gets cut. SPOILERS: - - - - I don't know if they'll have Kyo come get her like at the end of the chapter, which sucks because it's one of the cutest 'little' moments between them. I never liked Kagura, but I disliked her especially after the slap... there was no reason for it, imo. If they include it, it'd be nice though, because I love Tohru's resolute feelings after. It's a shift into her becoming 'stronger' and indulging in selfishness, which she deserves. Great coverage of these chapters as always, Flora, and hope you're feeling better now.
I think they will nail it :) Takaya was really sick and recovering from injuries when she wrote the last chapters in the manga, so if you look carefully, her panel layouts are way different. Each page has larger and fewer panel, and much less dialogue than older chapters. And notice how a lot of them have only like 1-2 scenes. I have a feeling chapter 114 will be shorter in the adaptation, cuz I don't think they will cover the Kakeru Komaki stuff.
@@starsimvidz Oh, yes, for sure! I notice a lot of the panels overlap with each other too, which definitely helps. It just feels like a lot, I think, lol. I re-read these chapters today and it made me overwhelmed with the amount of content into so little eps left. I'm hoping it just feels like a lot and in the end, they do nail it, like you said. Of all the things I think they might cut, the Kakeru and Komaki stuff was at the top of my list for things that might not be included. It's something that could be covered with a line of dialogue or two. The other thing may be some of the Kyoko and Katsuya backstory, and just focusing on the parts pertaining to Tohru and Kyo's development.
@@deliafischer856 I totally agree. She is possessed by the bore afterall, so her reaction makes alot of sense. She loves Kyo herself but can never be with him so seeing Tohru hestitate frustrates her. She did what she did to slap some sense into Tohru to make her act. We may not agree with her actions, but her heart was in the right place
I like that you do manga spoilers! It’s been years since I’ve read it so it’s nice to see the comparison. Good job finding the scenes in the mangas. Keep it up I’ll be watching
I am sooooo excited for the next episode 😆😆 i mean they did a great job mixing all those chapters i was worried about how are they going to squeeze all those chapters but I have to say they did a great job 🤩 P.S great job flora I really like watching all your reaction , and happy you got well ♥️😍🤩✨
I just don't understand why they're changing the pacing for the last season - the most important one! They have done so well till now. Why are they trying to rush and cut things out?
I think the images with kazuma and Rin were from 114 as well, if you look at rin’s clothing it matches her exact outfit from ch 114, and the image with kazuma I think is when he’s telling kagura about his grandfather. I’m really hoping people don’t attack kagura too much after this episode, She’s one of the most realistic characters cause she acts on emotion and deals with the consequences which I feel we don’t see much in anime and as much as I love tohru I think she needed something to get her act together which ended up being a slap 🥺
I agree. Kagura is a very emotional person. She also has strong feelings for Kyo, but knows she can never be with him. So seeing Tohru hestitate frustrates the hell out of her. And let's not forget she is also the bore zodiac. She acts on impulse, and her first response was to slap some sense into Tohru to force her to take action. Not saying her actions were right, but her heart was in the right place.
It is just me or I love kagura and I know her actions are wrong but she is trying her best I just really empathize with her because I have a lot of issues with controlling my emotions too like her so I am trying my best to get better
I am so excited for the Kyoko content I have been waiting for it since the beginning. I love the sheet scene sooooooooooooo much! when I got to it in the manga I kept flipping back the pages multiple times to take it all in, I just love it so much. I don't think that this season will only be 13 episodes, there is so much content left, if they rush it will be a complete letdown. They were faithful up to now so they should go all the way.
I'd like for them to show Kyoko story with Katsuya and they might link it well if Tooru shows Kyo her father pic after the sheets scene. However they might not want to include it as it might be a little disturbing for viewers. The age gap is only 8 years but the fact that Kyoko was in middle school when they met might hurt some people... Personally I want to see it but at the same time I'd understand why they would cut it.
@@melina_0455 I doubt the mangaka would have allowed a change in this. I'm pretty sure she had to compromise for the 13 episodes already. That story was meant to be controversial. But 20 years ago in Japan this might not have been a huge deal like it is now. I'm not even sure it would be acceptable to air something like that to begin with...
@@alinachan2889 Would it have been a problem if they had made Kyoko 16 or 17? The bones of the story would have been the same, her loneliness, the controversy in-verse too, the love between her and Katsuya would have bloomed too.
@@melina_0455 It would have been easier to show for sure, and less cringy. But from a plot perspective we know that Tooru wanted to finish high school because her mum never went to high school to begin with. If she met Katsuya at 16 it would have meant she went to high school and met him there, and you would lose the main reason why Tooru was attending to high school to begin with. Eveything is connected in Fruits Basket, changing the age of Kyoko would have clashed with Tooru's statements at the beginning of the serie.
@@alinachan2889A neat and easy solution to that would have been to have Kyoko fail several years of middle school. That way she's older, still stuck in middle school, she is more credible as a dangerous gang leader, and the ultimatum and her desperation to succeed this school year make a lot more sense.
@@elorarose7816 I've seen alot of people mention the dvd release as evidence of 13 episodes. While it is possible, it could also be part 1. Let's just wait and see what happens
Seeing how the story is progressing, I feel like they might not include Kyoko / Katsuya flash back, even if I'm gonna miss it a lot. Anyway, there's not much to adapt before the Akito climax. Only that and the Komaki thing. So I'm putting the climax episode 8 or 9. Given how fast they're going now (4 chapters in a row) they might adapt the flash with Kyo's confession. Let's see how they'll handle episode 6
@@dogti2959 I think the events in episode 6 will lead really nicely into Kyoko's backstory. I don't think it would make sense to include alongside the confession scene as there is already alot of heavy flashbacks to cover around that time
@@MyTaintedInnocence Episode 7 is going to have Chapter 117 adapted (and very likely 115), the episode title is "Yes. It's Empty." We don't have a synopsis yet, so they may decide to put the Kyoko backstory stuff there, or they may decide to just do something like 115, 117, and 118. Or even yet they may do something like 110, 112, 113, 115, and 117 (since they've already adapted a few scenes from 115 and 110). Or they may do something else entirely. It'll be interesting to see what route they take next episode.
I have to say I’m really surprised and pretty disappointed it looks like they’re gonna speed run the last season. I can tell they’re more or less gonna cut the majority of kyoko and katsuya which I can understand , when I read the manga it always rubbed me the wrong way that she was in middle school when they got together . I’m not even a fan of the uo kureno age gap . I don’t mind them rearranging things since a lot of the scenes makes sense together however it worries me that they’re rushing character relationships and character growth. I’m not sure if we’re gonna get the Yuchi stuff before he thought he should tell her about the curse which I am super disappointed about. I don’t want them to rush it, we were promised a full adaptation and they’re dropping the ball on the climax of the series? There was so much filler stuff they could of cut instead of this stuff.
Yah! They are definitely rushing it..from an anime only perspective the audience knows tons about Yuki and machi, we even know some about rin, hiro and shigure. While akito and kyos stories have been glazed over, we know nothing about akitos reasons for doing the things she does in season 2. I realize their trying to save kyos and akitos story for the end to give more suspense to the last season. I hope they don't cut it short at 13 episodes, it seems like the main characters would be a little flat especially akito and her change from villian to traumatized anti hero!
I kinda like that they’ve now made Rin going that short her choice. She’s chosen a fresh start.
Tohru does mention why she got so upset during the sheet scene later. She outright says it was a test for Kyo, she showed him what she viewed as her most ugly trait in hopes he’d reject her so she could put a lid on her love for him and instead he held her and said he didn’t mind.

I like that too, I am so glad for it!🐎
