9 Season 1, Episode 14: That’s A Secret (9.2/10)

Loss and the ripples it creates is a central theme in Fruits Basket, whether it be a loss due to death or a loss due to separation. Loss is explored in two ways in “That’s A Secret” through Momiji and Tohru.

Fans learn more about Momiji’s background, and how his mother doesn’t even know he exists. She had her memory of Momiji erased by Hatori because she attempted suicide after she learned that her newborn son could transform into a rabbit. Momiji must keep his identity a secret from his mother, and his sense of loss is juxtaposed by Tohru’s, as both her parents are dead. Kyo and Yuki accompany her to visit her mother’s grave and learn more about how her parents passed.

By sharing her pain, they grow closer to her, and further develop their relationship with Tohru.

8 Season 2, Episode 16: Ask Him For Me (9.2/10)

“Ask Him For Me” features the ever-enthusiastic Tohru on a mission to sneak into the Sohma estate in order to deliver a message from Uotani to Kureno.

On her way, she encounters Momo who takes her to where Momiji is playing violin, and she learns that Momo likes to watch Momiji play. This interaction underscores the idea that the bonds of family and love can transcend any obstacle, and serves as a bittersweet reminder of Momiji’s and his sister’s sad circumstances. After putting herself at such risk, Tohru eventually finds Kureno and delivers the message, showcasing how far she is willing to go to help her friends no matter the cost to herself.

7 Season 2, Episode 25: I’m Different Now (9.2/10)

The title of the final episode of season 2 teased fans about two big reveals which have huge ramifications for the series going forward.

First, it was revealed that Akito is a woman, and second that Kureno has broken free from the Zodiac Curse. The fact that Kureno has broken the curse is a significant event in the story and serves as a symbol of hope for Tohru and the other Zodiacs.

Meanwhile, the discovery that Akito is a woman is just one piece of the puzzle concerning her backstory. The two major plot points have given fans plenty to talk about as they wait for the release of the final season of the series.

6 Season 2, Episode 10: Who Are You? (9.3/10)

The episodes that take place at the Sohma’s vacation house are filled with drama, and the last episode in the arc is not different. This episode confirmed that Akito is God and that she has power and control over all of the other Zodiacs.

Up to this point, Tohru had met with Akito, but the two of them had never had a meaningful interaction. That changes with their confrontation at night outside of the vacation house when Akito corners Tohru and threatens her out of fear and jealousy. However, rather than scaring Tohru, this interaction only strengthens Tohru’s resolve and she decides that she is going to break the Zodiac Curse, once and for all.

5 Season 2, Episode 18: Do You Wanna Kiss? (9.3/10)

Of all the backstories in Fruits Basket, Rin’s has to be one of the heaviest, and it is the subject of this episode.

It is revealed that Rin’s parents despised her, and physically and emotionally abused her as a child. She eventually wound up in the hospital, and it was there that she and Haru found each other, and their love restored her spirit.

However, when Akito learned of their relationship she grew angry and pushed Rin from a window, further adding to Rin’s suffering. Rin spurned Haru as a result in order to protect him from Akito, and she also dedicated herself to breaking the Zodiac Curse so she and Haru could finally be together without fear.

4 Season 2, Episode 21: There Was, Definitely (9.3/10)

Over the course of the series, Fruits Basket reveals many details about the characters’ backstories through flashbacks, and “There Was, Definitely” is a prime example of this in action.

The episode is dominated by flashbacks of Yuki’s childhood and offers fans a glimpse into his dark past. It is revealed that Yuki’s parents sold him to Akito, and that Akito abused and controlled him for years. Yuki reminisces on these formative events while talking to an oblivious Kakeru, who has no way of understanding the depth of Yuki’s sorrow. Through these revelations, fans were able to see Yuki and his relationship to the other Zodiacs in a new light, further developing his character.

3 Season 2, Episode 9: My Precious… (9.5/10)

The development of Kyo’s and Tohru’s relationship is one of the central plot points of Fruits Basket, and in this episode, their relationship experiences a major turning point.

While visiting the Sohma’s vacation house, Akito makes a surprise visit, and Kyo is invited to visit her in the annex. Tohru sees this as a positive development, but in truth, Akito only summoned Kyo so she could guilt trip and remind him that if he can’t defeat Yuki he will spend the rest of his life in captivity. However, rather than feeling dejected after this meeting, Kyo feels hopeful, because he realizes that he loves Tohru and wants to protect her, and this understanding fills him with a resolve to keep fighting.

2 Season 2, Episode 23: It’s Cinderella-ish (9.5/10)

One of the more lighthearted and fun episodes of season 2 is also one of the highest-rated episodes of the entire series. The episode revolves around the school culture festival, and in particular, the unconventional performance of Cinderella staged by Tohru and her classmates.

The miscasting of Saki Hanajima as Cinderella and Tohru as the evil stepsister makes for some hilarious interactions, such as Hanajima’s desire to open a barbecue restaurant and Tohru’s obvious discomfort with even pretending to act cruelly. Additionally, Kyo is cast as the prince and refuses to act like he is in love with Hanajima, as all of his attention is focused on Tohru. The end result is a beautiful, chaotic mess that is as sweet as it is silly.

1 Season 1, Episode 24: Let’s Go Home (9.6/10)

The penultimate episode of season 1 is also the highest-rated of the series to date. In this episode, Kazuma comes to Shigure’s house to visit Kyo.

While at the house, he and Tohru hatch a plan to remove Kyo’s rosary so that his true Cat form will be revealed, and she can save him. Ashamed, Kyo runs into the woods, and Tohru chases after him. Tohru is not terrified by his appearance and embraces Kyo. Tohru’s acceptance of him causes Kyo to revert back into his regular Cat form, and he and Tohru return to the house together. This heartwarming scene is one of the highlights of Fruits Basket thus far and forms the foundation of Tohru’s and Kyo’s relationship.
