[00:03] ---
    "I'll hold another banquet."
[00:07] ---
    "I'll hold banquet after banquet,
    forever unchanging..."
[00:16] ---
    "I may be lonely right now..."
[00:22] ---
    "...but everyone is waiting for me
    on the other side of that promise."
[00:28] ---
    That was in the long-distant past...
[00:34] ---
    The original memory,
    forgotten by everyone.
[00:39] ---
    The original promise.
[00:44] ---
    I'll see you soon.
[00:46] ---
    Soon.
[02:14] ---
    "Fruits Basket"
[02:18] ---
    A girl?
[02:21] ---
    Akito-san is... a girl?
[02:27] ---
    Is that really true?
[02:31] ---
    It's true.
[02:33] ---
    It's the biggest of
    the Somas' many secrets.
[02:38] ---
    But Akito-san behaves like a man...
[02:44] ---
    And none of the others
    ever treat him like... a girl...
[02:50] ---
    I never dreamed she was a girl.
[02:54] ---
    Akito's been raised as male since birth.
[03:00] ---
    She decreed it.
[03:02] ---
    Who?
[03:05] ---
    Someone who almost saw you
    at the main estate.
[03:13] ---
    Hatori!
[03:14] ---
    What are you doing? Get away!
[03:17] ---
    How many times must I
    tell you to keep your distance?!
[03:20] ---
    Akito, it's not like that.
    She was only saying hello.
[03:25] ---
    That's right, I was only saying
    hello to Hatori. Is that so wrong?
[03:33] ---
    You leer at any zodiac man you see.
[03:37] ---
    What are you even doing here?
    Go back to your room!
[03:42] ---
    She rarely leaves her room. She has
    some... troubles, mentally and physically.
[03:51] ---
    But she still looms larger
    than most in Akito's mind.
[03:57] ---
    Ren Soma.
[03:59] ---
    Akito's mother.
[04:04] ---
    She's the one who decided
    to raise her daughter as male.
[04:09] ---
    Neither Akito nor Ren-san
    will comment on it.
[04:15] ---
    All I know for certain...
[04:18] ---
    ...is that they hate each other.
[04:22] ---
    If you don't speak more nicely
    to the zodiac members,
[04:27] ---
    they won't like you anymore, Akito-san.
[04:32] ---
    Hatori, you poor thing.
[04:35] ---
    Hatori isn't a "poor thing"!
[04:38] ---
    We have a bond. We're connected
    in a world that you can't reach.
[04:44] ---
    You're still spouting that nonsense?
[04:48] ---
    You little fool.
[04:50] ---
    How many times must I tell you
    that those "bonds" aren't real love?
[04:57] ---
    That "eternally unchanging"
    concept you cherish so much is fake.
[05:02] ---
    It's just a fantasy.
[05:04] ---
    I pity the zodiac members
    who have to put up with it.
[05:11] ---
    Akito!
[05:15] ---
    Oh yeah? How about you tell me
    what's "real," then?!
[05:19] ---
    Parental love?
[05:21] ---
    --It's not like that's perfect!
    --Akito! Akito, stop!
[05:23] ---
    --Lots of parents abandon their children--
    including plenty of Soma parents!
[05:25] ---
    --Akito!
    --Lots of parents abandon their children--
    including plenty of Soma parents!
[05:26] ---
    --Lots of parents abandon their children--
    including plenty of Soma parents!
[05:27] ---
    --Ma'am!
    --Just like you did!
[05:30] ---
    You can't define what's real or fake,
    what's a false image or an idol!
[05:35] ---
    No one can!
[05:37] ---
    No one has the right to deny
[05:40] ---
    the bond between me
    and the zodiac, or our eternity!
[05:45] ---
    The real thing exists!
[05:48] ---
    Akira-san and me...
[05:52] ---
    Akira-san and me have a real bond.
[05:56] ---
    I'll kill you.
[05:58] ---
    --I'll kill you!
    --Go right ahead!
[06:01] ---
    When I die, my soul will go
    to Heaven and be with Akira-san.
[06:07] ---
    I don't need you!
[06:10] ---
    Akito, you were born to be loved.
[06:14] ---
    Everyone was waiting for you.
[06:19] ---
    Ren-san says the ties that bind Akito
    and the zodiac members are wrong.
[06:25] ---
    She says they're unnatural. Not real.
[06:30] ---
    So she's constantly clashing with Akito,
    who clings to our bonds.
[06:36] ---
    That day...
[06:39] ---
    The morning after Ren-san conceived Akito,
    I woke up in tears.
[06:45] ---
    So did Shigure-niisan,
    Hatori-niisan, and Ayame-niisan.
[06:52] ---
    We're the only zodiac members
    who know that Akito is female.
[06:59] ---
    Apparently, Ritsu was
    too young to sense it clearly.
[07:04] ---
    But the four of us all had the same dream.
[07:08] ---
    Akito, the god we hadn't seen yet,
    came to us in the dream and said,
[07:14] ---
    "I'll see you soon."
[07:17] ---
    So we ran straight to Ren-san,
    who didn't know she was pregnant yet.
[07:23] ---
    As we cried, we just kept saying,
    "We've been waiting for you."
[07:30] ---
    It... It was like this feeling
    I didn't recognize welled up in my heart,
[07:38] ---
    and I sensed a me
    that wasn't me, shouting.
[07:42] ---
    It was the zodiac spirit.
[07:46] ---
    Another self that lived
    inside me. In my blood.
[07:52] ---
    At the first sign of a new ego forming,
    the zodiac blood begins to hound us:
[07:57] ---
    "Never betray Akito."
[08:00] ---
    They made a promise
    to be together for eternity.
[08:06] ---
    No matter how many times
    they were reborn.
[08:10] ---
    Now that my curse is gone,
[08:14] ---
    I can see that our bond was unnatural.
[08:18] ---
    Ren-san is right.
[08:20] ---
    But I see something else, too.
[08:26] ---
    A crying girl.
[08:30] ---
    Akito, it's okay.
[08:33] ---
    Calm down. It's okay.
[08:38] ---
    This way, ma'am.
[08:43] ---
    Akito-san.
[08:44] ---
    Do you think a crybaby like you can win?
[08:47] ---
    Come on, let's go back.
[08:54] ---
    Why...
[08:55] ---
    Why is she always so mean?
[09:03] ---
    She's cruel!
[09:05] ---
    Hatori!
[09:07] ---
    Hatori, gimme a hug.
[09:17] ---
    I can't push away a crying Akito.
[09:23] ---
    And I can't see Arisa while
    there's another girl I have to stay with.
[09:30] ---
    I'm sorry to unsettle you
    by telling you all this.
[09:35] ---
    But I wanted you to know that
[09:39] ---
    "Watch alone"
[09:40] ---
    the same Akito who wounds others
    too easily is herself deeply wounded.
[09:46] ---
    I wanted to give you an idea
    of why I can't leave her.
[09:53] ---
    I... I should say something...
    I know I should...
[10:03] ---
    ...but I can't make any words come out.
[10:08] ---
    I'm sorry. All I ever do is hurt others.
[10:14] ---
    But this is the path I chose.
[10:19] ---
    The one I took of my own free will.
[10:24] ---
    I'm sorry. And thank you--for everything.
[10:34] ---
    I'm frozen.
[10:39] ---
    Everything's frozen...
[10:44] ---
    It's a chain, a spiral of sadness...
[10:55] ---
    ...and everything's frozen.
[10:59] ---
    I couldn't find the motivation to work,
    so I wanted to get some fresh air.
[11:07] ---
    I'm sorry. It won't happen again.
[11:37] ---
    Here I am to save the day.
[11:39] ---
    Ta-da.
[11:53] ---
    What? What do you mean?
[11:56] ---
    Just what I said: Tohru is in my custody.
[11:59] ---
    She'll be mine all night.
[12:02] ---
    Hanajima-san,
    your phrasing is a little sketchy...
[12:06] ---
    You dare to object to
    my sudden Nightgown Festival?
[12:11] ---
    I think the term is "pajama party"...
[12:14] ---
    But no, it's no problem.
[12:17] ---
    Excellent. Goodbye.
[12:21] ---
    It's no problem,
    but it is a little strange.
[12:25] ---
    Did something happen to Honda-san?
[12:28] ---
    Who called?
[12:30] ---
    Hanajima-san. She says Honda-san
    is staying the night there.
[12:37] ---
    You're fine with ordering out, right?
[12:39] ---
    My goodness. Was she really that shocked?
[12:45] ---
    Saki-chan might be pissed at me
    if she doesn't bounce back...
[12:48] ---
    That's a scary thought.
[12:51] ---
    Oh, hey.
[12:52] ---
    Maybe I should try making dinner.
[12:56] ---
    Do we have a cookbook?
[12:58] ---
    That's scary! Don't do it!
[13:00] ---
    It's okay. I can do it
    if I try harder... I think...
[13:04] ---
    But maybe you can't!
[13:06] ---
    Saki-chan!
[13:07] ---
    Has Tohru-chan had dinner?
    Is there anything she'd like to eat?
[13:12] ---
    Shark fin.
[13:14] ---
    That's what you want.
[13:17] ---
    And you just ate, Saki-chan!
[13:21] ---
    Mom, she says no dinner.
[13:24] ---
    You should make her tea.
[13:27] ---
    Oh, you're right! How rude of me! Tea!
[13:32] ---
    Megumi?
[13:34] ---
    You know what to do.
[13:37] ---
    I'm on it.
[13:42] ---
    The tea is ready.
[13:45] ---
    Oh, thank you...
[13:48] ---
    Careful, it's hot.
[13:50] ---
    Right...
[13:52] ---
    U-Um, Hana-chan? What brought you there?
[13:58] ---
    You were crying.
[14:01] ---
    It was in a voice no one but me
    could hear, you were crying so loudly.
[14:09] ---
    Something sad happened, didn't it?
[14:13] ---
    I... Hana-chan, I'm... so confused...
[14:27] ---
    My curse has already broken.
[14:33] ---
    A girl?
[14:35] ---
    Akito-san is...
[14:39] ---
    Akito's mother.
[14:42] ---
    So... I won't see Arisa.
[14:49] ---
    "Kureno-san"...
[14:53] ---
    "Kureno-san" is... Kureno Soma...
[15:01] ---
    I wanted him to go see Uo-chan,
    so... I asked him to...
[15:07] ---
    But he said he can't.
[15:11] ---
    Because... Because he has
    someone he needs to stay with...
[15:20] ---
    K-Kureno-san is a caring man who...
[15:26] ---
    ...puts someone else's
    feelings before his own...
[15:36] ---
    I couldn't say anything!
[15:41] ---
    So many people have had to help me...
[15:46] ---
    ...but when it was my turn,
    I couldn't do anything.
[15:54] ---
    I was useless!
[15:59] ---
    Uo-chan... Kureno-san...
[16:07] ---
    You do the same thing.
    You put others' feelings before your own.
[16:16] ---
    I... worry about you.
[16:22] ---
    If you keep taking on
    people's feelings like that,
[16:28] ---
    and treating them carefully...
[16:31] ---
    ...and carrying them on your shoulders...
[16:39] ---
    I worry that one day
    they'll crush you.
[16:45] ---
    Look at this, Kyo-kun!
[16:47] ---
    I bought a new scarf!
[16:50] ---
    It even has pom poms!
[16:54] ---
    I worry that if they crush you,
    we'll never see your smile again.
[17:05] ---
    If that happened...
[17:10] ---
    If that happened,
    it'd be the end of the world.
[17:15] ---
    I called her.
[17:17] ---
    You told me to hurry,
    so I ran all the way here from work!
[17:21] ---
    Did you hear us?
[17:23] ---
    I heard.
[17:27] ---
    So, listen...
[17:29] ---
    I'm trash for making you cry.
[17:33] ---
    Uo-chan, you're not "trash"!
[17:36] ---
    Well, you're not "useless."
[17:41] ---
    I love you, you dummy.
[17:47] ---
    You can stop worrying. I'm all right.
[17:50] ---
    I mean it this time.
[17:53] ---
    I was right: Kureno's just like you.
[17:58] ---
    You're the same kind of dumb.
    So I figure...
[18:03] ---
    ...I just love dummies.
[18:07] ---
    I don't want to make problems
    for people like you.
[18:12] ---
    So that's the end.
[18:19] ---
    That's it.
[18:22] ---
    So you loved and lost?
[18:24] ---
    Why, you...
[18:27] ---
    Megumi, we need to be sensitive right now.
[18:31] ---
    But some things just take a long time.
[18:37] ---
    Some friends and lovers, too.
[18:40] ---
    So it wasn't all for nothing.
[18:44] ---
    Well, duh! That's my personal creed.
[18:52] ---
    All right, shall we start the party now?
[18:56] ---
    Oh, I'll help!
[18:58] ---
    My heart pounds as
    I'm surrounded by older women.
[19:02] ---
    That line again?
[19:04] ---
    "Soma"
[19:17] ---
    Isuzu-chan, you naughty girl.
[19:21] ---
    Did you sneak all the way in here?
[19:25] ---
    You've been looking for something,
    haven't you, Isuzu-chan?
[19:31] ---
    I know all about it.
[19:34] ---
    Would you like my help?
[19:42] ---
    They passed out.
[19:43] ---
    Yes.
[19:45] ---
    I think the chance to take a break
    from her own feelings
[19:50] ---
    made Arisa feel a little better.
[19:54] ---
    Do you think there's any chance left?
[19:58] ---
    Well, that may be
    another story altogether.
[20:07] ---
    Romance is tough.
[20:09] ---
    Yes.
[20:12] ---
    The sun always comes up again.
[20:19] ---
    There's no night that doesn't end...
[20:24] ---
    So I'll start again, one thing at a time.
[20:29] ---
    I'm home!
[20:32] ---
    Shigure-san?
[20:34] ---
    I wonder if he's still... sleeping...?
[20:38] ---
    What's this scarf doing here?
    Could this be mine?
[20:44] ---
    Wh-What...?
[20:47] ---
    So it is yours?
[20:50] ---
    Glad I didn't guess wrong.
[20:52] ---
    It was lying all crumpled in the street.
[20:55] ---
    U-Um--
[20:57] ---
    I washed it,
    but not all the stains came out.
[21:00] ---
    If that bugs you, buy another one.
[21:04] ---
    Stop it, that's not dry yet!
[21:09] ---
    Told you.
[21:10] ---
    Thank you! I'll never, ever drop it again!
[21:16] ---
    Okay, then.
[21:18] ---
    You stayed at Hanajima's last night?
[21:20] ---
    Yes! Uo-chan came, too,
    and we had a Nightgown Festival!
[21:25] ---
    A what?
[21:26] ---
    It was so much fun!
[21:31] ---
    Good morning. Was it a fun party?
[21:34] ---
    Good morning!
[21:36] ---
    Morning!
[21:37] ---
    Good morning!
[21:39] ---
    You know, Yuki-kun's cooking last night
[21:42] ---
    reminded me of just how much
    I appreciate you, Tohru-kun.
[21:45] ---
    It was so weird I don't even know if
    it was bad--actually, it was really bad.
[21:48] ---
    "Just remembered it"
[21:50] ---
    I almost died!
[21:52] ---
    Maybe I really can't do it...
[21:55] ---
    I'd like to puzzle those
    things out one at a time.
[22:03] ---
    Uo-chan, Hana-chan!
[22:05] ---
    Yo!
[22:06] ---
    Good morning, Tohru-kun.
[22:09] ---
    All those things Kureno-san told me.
[23:45] ---
    "That's an Unwavering Truth"
[23:46] ---
    "That's an Unwavering Truth."
[23:50] ---
    
[23:52] ---
