"29th Annual
Kaibara High School
Culture Festival"
**[00:02] ---**
The Culture Festival is coming up next month,
**[00:04] ---**
and things are suddenly
getting busy at school.
**[00:08] ---**
It's official.
**[00:10] ---**
Our class has voted
to operate a rice ball stand.
**[00:15] ---**
Next, I'd like to hear opinions
on what fillings we should use.
**[00:19] ---**
Yes! How about tricolor rice balls?
**[00:23] ---**
It would be fun to have three fillings
in one rice ball! And a good deal!
**[00:29] ---**
That's cute. I like it.
**[00:30] ---**
Seriously?
**[00:32] ---**
We should drop that idea, Yuki-*kun*!
**[00:35] ---**
Yeah, what if she suggests
a tuna, kelp, and pickled plum combo?
**[00:38] ---**
Ugh, how gross!
**[00:42] ---**
The "gross" things here
are your personalities, morons.
**[00:45] ---**
Don't bring steel pipes to school!
**[00:47] ---**
--How about battle rice balls?
--Battle?
**[00:50] ---**
One-on-one matches, first to score
an Ippon wins. The only rule is "no killing."
**[00:54] ---**
Weapons are allowed.
**[00:56] ---**
People fight for their rice balls,
even if they bleed, even if they lose an arm!
**[01:00] ---**
Idea rejected.
**[01:01] ---**
What's with that attitude?!
I'm cooperating and giving my idea!
**[01:05] ---**
What if we mix in some duds?
**[01:07] ---**
Maybe people who buy three
could choose one more for free,
**[01:11] ---**
but some of the choices are duds?
**[01:14] ---**
Idea accepted!
**[01:15] ---**
Why'd you accept *his* idea?!
**[01:17] ---**
Yours was too weird, Kyon-Kyon.
**[01:20] ---**
Don't pout about it, Kyon-Kyon.
**[01:21] ---**
Don't call me "Kyon-Kyon"!
**[01:22] ---**
Don't be mad, Kyon-Kyon.
**[01:24] ---**
--Look, cats!
--What the heck?
**[01:26] ---**
--When'd they get here?
--Where'd they come from?
**[01:28] ---**
How cute!
**[01:30] ---**
Forget this!
**[01:31] ---**
Wait, Kyon-Kyon! What's with those cats?!
**[01:34] ---**
--Very odd.
--Eep!
**[01:36] ---**
Don't worry, you're way
ahead of him in oddness.
**[01:39] ---**
He's really hot-tempered, though, huh?
**[01:43] ---**
The polar opposite of our prince.
**[01:54] ---**
Here you are!
**[01:57] ---**
You really like high places,
don't you, Kyo-*kun*?
**[02:00] ---**
Oh, hello, kitty.
**[02:03] ---**
So cute.
**[02:04] ---**
Cats love you, don't they?
**[02:07] ---**
Whatever. They just show up around me.
**[02:10] ---**
It happens to all of us with our animals.
**[02:13] ---**
Wow, that must be fun!
**[02:15] ---**
Like hell it is!
**[02:17] ---**
Did you want something, or what?
**[02:19] ---**
I was just worried, that's all.
**[02:22] ---**
Aren't you going to join us
on the Culture Festival project?
**[02:27] ---**
You don't need me.
Everything'll go fine as long as Yuki's there.
**[02:33] ---**
He's always been smart, good at
organizing stuff, and good with people.
**[02:38] ---**
Everybody naturally respects
his talents and trusts him.
**[02:44] ---**
I'm the one who started martial arts first,
and now he's better at it than me.
**[02:50] ---**
I knew it. Rat children are always special.
**[02:54] ---**
Yes. Too bad the same
can't be said of Cat children.
**[03:00] ---**
It pisses me off.
**[03:02] ---**
Not like I have a choice.
If I could be like him...
**[03:06] ---**
...I would.
**[04:31] ---**
"Fruits Basket"
**[04:41] ---**
Let's play Rich Man-Poor Man!
**[04:43] ---**
Go to freakin' Yuki for that.
**[04:46] ---**
But Soma-*kun* isn't here.
**[04:48] ---**
Way to spoil my fun.
**[04:50] ---**
You seem so *dumb* and *unorganized*,
I figured you'd make an easy mark.
**[04:56] ---**
A real man never runs away
from a fight, you know. Pathetic!
**[05:01] ---**
Fine, you're on! Try not to cry
when you lose, Gangster Girl!
**[05:05] ---**
The loser's gotta do
everyone's cleaning duty!
**[05:09] ---**
Ah, what a pleasant maelstrom of waves.
**[05:12] ---**
I wonder where Soma-*kun* went...
**[05:16] ---**
I'm sorry.
**[05:18] ---**
I'm just not interested
in dating anyone right now.
**[05:21] ---**
So I can't be what you--
**[05:22] ---**
No, I don't want to hear this!
**[05:25] ---**
Yuki-*kun*!
**[05:28] ---**
Er, I'm... um...
**[05:31] ---**
You're nice, Yuki-*kun*, but you're
closed off to other people, aren't you?
**[05:37] ---**
Everyone says it!
**[05:39] ---**
"Yuki-*kun* is special!"
"A normal girl isn't good enough for him!"
**[05:47] ---**
Revolution!
**[05:49] ---**
You underhanded jerk!
**[05:51] ---**
It's allowed in the damn rules!
**[05:53] ---**
Hmm, Revolution turns
the strong cards weak, so...
**[05:57] ---**
Secret technique:
**[06:01] ---**
Revolution Reversal.
**[06:03] ---**
Hey!
**[06:04] ---**
She got you, Carrots.
**[06:07] ---**
Nice work, Hanajima-*san*.
**[06:08] ---**
Looking lame there, Kyon-Kyon.
**[06:10] ---**
Shut up! We're just getting started!
**[06:14] ---**
You're closed off to
other people, aren't you?
**[06:20] ---**
Rich Man-Poor Man, eh?
**[06:22] ---**
I know the rules, but I've never played it.
**[06:25] ---**
I only learned it from Uo-*chan* just recently.
**[06:29] ---**
You should join us next time!
**[06:31] ---**
So he ended up the Poor Man, I see.
**[06:35] ---**
Please let me help.
**[06:37] ---**
No. A loss is a loss.
**[06:40] ---**
But I'm gonna win next time, got it?!
**[06:42] ---**
I'll beat you, too, obviously!
**[06:44] ---**
Don't you ever get sick of saying that?
**[06:46] ---**
Winning against you is my mission! My goal!
**[06:49] ---**
Having to deal with that
is my annoyance. My misfortune.
**[06:52] ---**
That condescending attitude
of yours pisses me off!
**[06:56] ---**
That simplistic thinking
of yours pisses me off.
**[06:59] ---**
--I'm gonna make that ugly face
of yours cry "Uncle" one day!
--Th-They're fighting again.
**[07:01] ---**
--I'm gonna make that ugly face
of yours cry "Uncle" one day!
--I don't think the fact that they're Rat and Cat
**[07:03] ---**
--Uncle.
--I don't think the fact that they're Rat and Cat
**[07:03] ---**
--Hey! Aren't you embarrassed
to just come out and say that?!
--is enough to explain why their relationship is this bad.
**[07:06] ---**
Come to think of it...
**[07:08] ---**
I'll win against you, and become
a full-fledged member of the Somas!
**[07:13] ---**
Did Kyo-*kun* mean that
if he can beat Soma-*kun*,
**[07:17] ---**
he'll be included in zodiac?
**[07:21] ---**
Which would mean...
**[07:22] ---**
The Cat and the Twelve
would become the Thirteen?!
**[07:25] ---**
That would be wonderful!
**[07:27] ---**
--I'll beat you into the ground!
--But fighting is no good...
**[07:30] ---**
--Great ready, you cold-blooded rat!
--Um, Kyo-*kun*--
**[07:41] ---**
Watching you makes my blood boil.
**[07:46] ---**
Soma-*kun*...
**[07:48] ---**
Dammit.
**[07:50] ---**
Why can't I win?
**[07:52] ---**
Are you all right?
You didn't bite your tongue, did you?
**[07:55] ---**
I'm not an amateur!
**[07:56] ---**
Just forget me and get out of here!
**[07:59] ---**
No, I mean... um...
**[08:03] ---**
It's just uncool how I keep losing, you know?
**[08:06] ---**
--Huh?
--Never mind!
**[08:08] ---**
Just go home. You've got work today, right?
**[08:13] ---**
His moves were a lot rougher than usual.
Maybe he's in a bad mood...
**[08:21] ---**
Good night!
**[08:26] ---**
Soma-*kun* is so considerate of other people,
**[08:31] ---**
but maybe that makes him
bottle up all his feelings inside.
**[08:37] ---**
And so...
**[08:44] ---**
Ouch!
**[08:47] ---**
It's dangerous to think while you walk.
**[08:54] ---**
Good evening.
**[08:56] ---**
Who is this? They're in
the building so late at night...
**[09:02] ---**
"Tohru Honda"
**[09:02] ---**
--"Tohru"?
--Huh?!
**[09:04] ---**
Tohru Honda?
**[09:05] ---**
Y-Yes, that's me...
**[09:07] ---**
*Sieh da! Welch ein Glück!*
**[09:09] ---**
A foreigner!
**[09:12] ---**
*Schön dich kennenzulernen.*
**[09:14] ---**
I-I'm sorry! I don't speak English!
**[09:17] ---**
*Sehr hübsch!*
**[09:19] ---**
Um, I, um--!
**[09:22] ---**
Good night!
**[09:26] ---**
"29th Annual
Kaibara High School
Culture Festival"
**[09:29] ---**
Fest...?
**[09:35] ---**
Honda-*san*? What's got you so flustered?
**[09:37] ---**
Th-There was a strange f-f-for--
**[09:40] ---**
"For"?
**[09:42] ---**
Soma-*kun*?
**[09:43] ---**
Hi. I hope work went well.
**[09:46] ---**
Did you come here to walk me home?
**[09:49] ---**
Yep. It's dangerous for girls
to be out this late.
**[09:53] ---**
Thank you very much!
You and Kyo-*kun* are both so kind.
**[10:01] ---**
Well, shall we?
**[10:03] ---**
S-Soma-*kun*!
**[10:05] ---**
Um... if you happen to have any
pent-up worries or anything, please tell me!
**[10:13] ---**
Like they say, telling someone
your bad dreams brings good luck, so...
**[10:18] ---**
If you're comfortable with me,
**[10:19] ---**
--I don't mind you hitting
me with all the wor--
**[10:21] ---**
--Stop flirting and go home, youngsters!
--I don't mind you hitting me with all the wor--
**[10:28] ---**
I meant that, but I may be
adding to your worries.
**[10:37] ---**
Back when I lived at home,
**[10:39] ---**
it felt like I was in a cage,
with the main family and Akito always watching.
**[10:44] ---**
I longed for a normal life
surrounded by normal people.
**[10:50] ---**
That's why I applied to
a coed high school and left home.
**[10:55] ---**
But I haven't really
managed to leave the cage.
**[10:59] ---**
I'm still living in a Soma house,
and I can't interact well with normal people.
**[11:05] ---**
I think I'm subconsciously
keeping my distance
**[11:07] ---**
so people won't get too personal with me.
**[11:11] ---**
But Kyo isn't like that.
His stranger anxiety is intense at first,
**[11:16] ---**
but he's the type who attracts people to him
once he gets used to them and relaxes.
**[11:19] ---**
Always has been.
**[11:22] ---**
Even if he can't be one of the Twelve,
**[11:25] ---**
he can interact naturally with normal people.
That's better, if you ask me.
**[11:31] ---**
I wish I could be like that, too.
**[11:36] ---**
That's why he gets on my nerves.
**[11:38] ---**
When I see Kyo wanting to join
the same Somas I want to get away from,
**[11:41] ---**
all I can think is, "What's wrong with me?"
**[11:46] ---**
Soma-*kun*...
**[11:49] ---**
...you have the power to draw people in, too.
**[11:52] ---**
Lots of girls say they like you,
and that you're a kind person.
**[11:57] ---**
I'm only being kind because
I want them to like me.
**[12:01] ---**
It's the same as one kid giving the others candy
because he wants to play with them.
**[12:05] ---**
I'm only nice for my own benefit.
**[12:11] ---**
Maybe I'm a phony.
**[12:14] ---**
So Kyo-*kun*
**[12:16] ---**
is jealous of Soma-*kun*,
and Soma-*kun*
**[12:20] ---**
is jealous of Kyo-*kun*,
**[12:23] ---**
and that's why they resent each other.
**[12:27] ---**
But from my point of view,
they're each so great in their own way...
**[12:34] ---**
So why...?
**[12:38] ---**
Soma-*kun*--
**[12:45] ---**
This isn't good.
**[12:50] ---**
This sudden typhoon means
strong winds through tomorrow morning.
**[12:54] ---**
Shigure, is there a weather report on?
**[12:56] ---**
I'm watching it now.
They're saying it's a sudden typhoon.
**[12:59] ---**
A typhoon...
**[13:03] ---**
Whoa, you're soaking wet!
**[13:15] ---**
Soma-*kun*!
**[13:17] ---**
Honda-*san*, it's dangerous out here!
**[13:20] ---**
This is nothing!
**[13:22] ---**
During the last typhoon, I spent
the whole night outside my tent holding--
**[13:27] ---**
Are you okay?
**[13:28] ---**
I'm sorry.
**[13:30] ---**
But Soma-*kun*, is there something wrong?
**[13:33] ---**
Come with me.
**[13:35] ---**
Where are we going?
**[13:40] ---**
It's a farm.
**[13:41] ---**
More like a vegetable garden.
**[13:44] ---**
Did you plant it?
**[13:46] ---**
Mm-hmm.
**[13:47] ---**
This is my secret base.
**[13:49] ---**
You're protecting your base from
the typhoon! That's magnificent!
**[13:54] ---**
Allow me to do my humble best to help!
**[14:04] ---**
You're a kind person.
**[14:06] ---**
Wh-What?! Oh my gosh!
**[14:10] ---**
Nobody's ever said that to me before!
**[14:14] ---**
Oh, but actually, maybe it's a phony kindness
to make me seem like a good person!
**[14:19] ---**
No, in your case it's innate.
**[14:23] ---**
But my mother once told me
to believe instead of doubt.
**[14:28] ---**
She said people aren't born with kindness.
**[14:32] ---**
All we have when we're born are desires,
like for food or for things.
**[14:40] ---**
Survival instincts, basically.
**[14:44] ---**
She said kindness is our hearts
growing inside us,
**[14:47] ---**
just like our bodies grow.
**[14:51] ---**
And that's why different people's
kindnesses take different forms.
**[14:57] ---**
It's easy to understand desire,
because everyone has it from birth.
**[15:02] ---**
But each person's kindness
is pretty much handmade by them,
**[15:06] ---**
so it's easy for others to misunderstand it,
or assume that it's phony.
**[15:11] ---**
But Tohru...
**[15:14] ---**
It was exciting to think that there were
all different shapes of kindness,
**[15:18] ---**
like round ones, or pointy ones.
**[15:22] ---**
Soma-*kun*, your kindness is like a candle.
**[15:26] ---**
It lights up.
**[15:29] ---**
When it does, it brings
a happy smile to my face.
**[15:33] ---**
That's what it's like.
**[15:36] ---**
Wait, was a candle a weird analogy?
**[15:39] ---**
N-No...
**[15:41] ---**
Actually, I'm kind of ashamed.
**[15:45] ---**
Boys shouldn't complain like that.
**[15:47] ---**
I'm happy you did.
**[15:50] ---**
Because I feel like the more
you tell me about yourself,
**[15:54] ---**
the better friends we can become.
**[15:58] ---**
That was rude of me to say...
**[16:00] ---**
No, not at all.
**[16:04] ---**
I'm sorry. I'll continue
my mission to protect the base!
**[16:11] ---**
But Tohru...
**[16:15] ---**
I want *you* to believe in people.
**[16:19] ---**
Doubting is easy. Anybody can do it.
**[16:23] ---**
You be the kind of girl
who can believe in people.
**[16:27] ---**
I just know...
**[16:30] ---**
...that will help someone.
**[16:39] ---**
We defended it to the end!
**[16:41] ---**
We took a beating doing it, though.
**[16:43] ---**
Is anything ready to harvest now?
**[16:46] ---**
Well, the chives might be...
**[16:49] ---**
Chives! Chives, chives...
**[16:52] ---**
Honda-*san*.
**[16:55] ---**
I'll try Rich Man-Poor Man next time.
**[16:57] ---**
Sure! But were you not interested before?
**[17:02] ---**
It wasn't that. I just lost my nerve
a little because everyone was so lively.
**[17:09] ---**
But I'll work on that.
**[17:11] ---**
So that I can learn to interact with people,
even if just little by little.
**[17:16] ---**
Don't worry! Hana-*chan* and Uo-*chan*
are incredibly good people!
**[17:20] ---**
I'm proud to call them my friends!
**[17:23] ---**
Plus, I know they'll love the chance
to defeat a strong opponent!
**[17:28] ---**
Mm-hmm.
**[17:31] ---**
I won't lose.
**[17:35] ---**
I feel like that's the first time
I've seen his true smile.
**[17:42] ---**
We'll have to take baths when we get home,
or we'll catch colds.
**[17:44] ---**
If the day comes when
he can smile like that at school,
**[17:49] ---**
he may get even more popular!
**[17:58] ---**
What's all this?!
**[18:00] ---**
Are you planning to start
a rice ball business?
**[18:02] ---**
Oh, good morning!
**[18:04] ---**
I'm experimenting with them
to get ready for the culture festival.
**[18:07] ---**
You're up early, as always.
**[18:09] ---**
No, this is a normal time.
**[18:11] ---**
Were you at the farm with Yuki all night?
**[18:14] ---**
Ow, that's hot!
**[18:16] ---**
Yes, we defended
the vegetables from the typhoon.
**[18:20] ---**
I'm particularly proud of that one.
What do you think?
**[18:30] ---**
What are these?!
**[18:31] ---**
Leek rice balls.
**[18:33] ---**
Did it taste bad?
**[18:34] ---**
I *hate* chives!
**[18:37] ---**
What's wrong with salmon
or octopus rice balls, anyway?
**[18:40] ---**
Forget it, I'll make my own.
**[18:43] ---**
Kyo-*kun*, that's amazing!
**[18:45] ---**
Huh?
**[18:45] ---**
You're so good at shaping the rice!
**[18:48] ---**
That's great! And unexpected!
**[18:50] ---**
I made my own food while I was training.
**[18:53] ---**
But making something isn't
the same as making it taste good.
**[18:56] ---**
Really? I think that someone
working hard at rice ball training
**[19:01] ---**
would be very jealous
of how good you are at it.
**[19:05] ---**
Nobody does training like that!
**[19:08] ---**
Where do your ideas even come from?
**[19:11] ---**
But that doesn't change
the fact that it's great...
**[19:15] ---**
Why doesn't he realize?
**[19:19] ---**
Maybe it's on your back.
**[19:24] ---**
Huh?
**[19:25] ---**
If a person is a rice ball and what's great
about the person is a pickled plum,
**[19:31] ---**
then maybe your plum is on your back!
**[19:35] ---**
Maybe everyone in the world
has plums on their backs
**[19:39] ---**
of all different shapes, colors, and sizes.
**[19:42] ---**
But since they can't see their backs,
they can't see the plums they have.
**[19:49] ---**
They think they don't have anything--
that they're just plain white rice.
**[19:54] ---**
Even though it's not true at all--
even though they really do have a plum there.
**[20:00] ---**
Maybe the reason we get jealous of others
**[20:02] ---**
is because other people's
backs are easy to see.
**[20:07] ---**
I can see it.
**[20:09] ---**
It's plain as day, Kyo-*kun*.
You have a plum right there on your back.
**[20:15] ---**
Soma-*kun* is great. And you're great, Kyo-*kun*.
**[20:23] ---**
Seriously, where do your ideas come from?!
**[20:27] ---**
And why plums?! Use something
better for your analogy!
**[20:30] ---**
I'm sorry! Should I have
used salmon instead?!
**[20:34] ---**
Whoops, the kettle!
**[20:39] ---**
Hey.
**[20:41] ---**
You've got one on your back, too.
**[20:46] ---**
A plum.
**[20:49] ---**
I can see it.
**[20:52] ---**
Really? You can?
**[20:54] ---**
Only a little one, though.
A really, *really* little one.
**[20:58] ---**
Little ones are delicious!
**[21:00] ---**
Good morning.
**[21:01] ---**
Soma-*kun*! Good morning.
**[21:04] ---**
Honda-*san*, didn't you sleep at all?
**[21:07] ---**
Nope! There were so many great things
to think about, I just felt too awake.
**[21:11] ---**
What's all this?
**[21:12] ---**
Rice balls with chives.
**[21:14] ---**
Kyo-*kun* says
he doesn't like chives, though.
**[21:17] ---**
They're not edible.
**[21:24] ---**
Eat.
**[21:26] ---**
Is their bad relationship just a lost cause?
**[21:31] ---**
But if they could each understand
the other's good points,
**[21:36] ---**
maybe they could get along...
**[21:40] ---**
I guess I didn't understand you.
Sorry about that.
**[21:45] ---**
Right back atcha. Sorry.
**[21:48] ---**
Let's cherish our friendship
for the rest of our lives!
**[21:51] ---**
Yeah!
**[21:53] ---**
Somehow that's a scary thought.
**[21:58] ---**
Yes, hello!
**[22:01] ---**
Excuse me...
**[22:02] ---**
Yes?
**[22:04] ---**
Excuse me...
**[22:07] ---**
Is it true...
**[22:11] ---**
...that Kyo-*kun* is here?
**[23:44] ---**
"What Year Is She?"
**[23:46] ---**
What year is she?
**[23:49] ---**
**[23:51] ---**
