Okay but canonically out of all the elder zodiac members (fruba spoilers ahead) . Kureno, Shigure, Hatori, Ayame, and Ritsu. Ritsu is the only one who doesn’t know about the family head’s gender. Ritsu is basically a complete parallel to Akito in a lot of ways. Akito is uncomfortable dressing as a man but does it anyways out of needing to present powerful. Ritsu on the other hand loves dressing as a woman. To her it is bracing her femininity. For Akito it is filling in a dead man’s shoes with a bitter mother’s heart. Akito claims to never be at the wrong for anything and Ritsu apologizes for everything. Explodes.

Fruits basket Zodiac = Neurodivergent

Please forgive me if its hard to read due to spelling or grammer or stuff, I cranked this out in like 5 minutes and this stuff is based on personal experience rather than academic research

What the text reads is under keep reading

The treatment of the zodiac children in fruits basket is similar to the treatment of neurodivergent children. The disgust, overprotectiveness or denial of the parents is often how many neurodivergent children are brought up.

Furthermore, the predisposition to risk factors such as personality, mood or eating disorders is also similar to neurodivergent people. For example, being seen as strange by the other children which results in the bullying such as for Chise.

Similarly to how neurodivergence is a spectrum, each zodiac is different from each other, but also has similarities and a shared understanding that they cannot fully understand each other even though they are the same.

Furthermore, the whole “zodiac spirits can hug each other without transforming” thing which results in them having relationships with each other more easily than a zodiac x “normal” person, is similar to how neurodivergent people end up together a lot, even if they’re different types.

Each zodiac member obviously masks to the outside world just like neurodivergent people, and whilst not the greatest fit, the fact that when the zodiacs hug someone they change into an animal, could be interpreted as them unmasking in front of someone they love. This fits more than the last concept, but the fact that the zodiacs turn into their animal form when they are sick or weak, matches how neurodivergent people struggle to mask when overburdened.

Furthermore, I know its because its an anime, but the fact that most of the zodiacs have like only 1 or 2 outfits that you see them in, shows how they have comfort items like yuki or literally most of them. Also similarly to neurodivergent people with similar vibes as me, having a comfort aesthetic that is consistent with clothes for example Isuzu or momoji.

The bond the zodiac has is similar to the idea of a bond between neurodivergent people si similar to the whole “Similar way of thinking of the world” thing people go on about.

The dislike of being touched without permission is interesting.

The separation between siblings who are neurodivergent and their other siblings is VERY similar to the separation between the non-neurodivergent and neurodivergent kids (in my experience).

How the zodiac are either thought of as “gifted and productive” or “Trouble makers and stupid” are also very similar to how neurodivergent children are treated.

Also Yuki was totally gay. Theres no way he wasn’t gay, he literally had an enemies to lovers arc with manabe, like???? You’re telling me that yuki was a girl he wouldn’t have fallen for manabe???

Me: *talking about anime/manga that make you cry from feels* “And then there’s Fruit’s Basket-”

My Friend, surprised: Fruit’s Basket? Isn’t that just the one where a girl befriends some guys who turn into animals based on the Chinese, uh- what’s it- zodiac?

Me, already internally sobbing: no no you don’t understand, you DON’T UNDERSTAND. It’s not about the zodiac, it’s not about the curse, it’s not *about* those things even though they are cornerstones of the premise, it’s about the *characters* and it’s about the *people* and it’s about how people are broken and how trauma is different for everyone, how people are cruel but they are also kind. It’s about the little things in life that make you whole or break you down and how everyone around you is bleeding and laughing and living and dying just like you and even when you are alone you aren’t really, not unless you choose to be, because somewhere, someday, there is someone who will look at you and hold your shards and say “you are worth it”. It’s about how the best intentions can leave the biggest scars, and about learning to trust again or maybe even learning to trust for the first time. It’s about broken bridges and the mending of them. It’s about how selfishness and self-sacrifice each have their place, how too much of either is just as harmful as none at all.

It’s about the Cinnamon Sweet Girl who is afraid to be selfish even when giving and giving and giving of herself ends up hurting her and hurting those who love her and how they wish she would just speak up for herself even a little bit, because how will they know how to help her if she does not dare ask?

It’s about the Tsundere who fights and screams and screams and fights because maybe if he is loud enough, strong enough, good enough, people will look and see who he is rather than who he was molded to be, who rejects kindness because he mistakes it for pity and friendship for lies until it’s proven over and over and he thinks maybe this time it is safe to reach out his hand in return.

It’s about the Prince who does not know what a mother is or how to find one, who finds kindness to be something so rare and strange and yet when he sees someone hurting he is kind because kindness is a choice and he will choose to make it even when he isn’t sure how.

It’s about the Lying Man who loves something enough to realize it needs to be broken, like a limb that has healed wrong and needs to be broken and set anew even if it hurts that he has to do it and that he will be seen as evil because of it.

It’s about the Bubbly Child who actually is hurting because what parent looks on their child and hates them so much they would rather forget they exist? And so surely he must be Extra Happy And Good for the parent who remains because this parent at least bothers to love him.

It’s about the Cold Man who is cold because he cares and was punished for caring, who chose to cause hurt because at least if it is by his hand then he knows when the damage will stop and if he is not the one to do it then the one who comes after will not stop and never stops because pain is all they know.

It’s about the boy who doesn’t know how to make his own choices meeting the girl who refuses to let others make her own. It’s about secrets and lies and truths and lost things. It’s about so many characters who live on the side, except do they? Do they really? The protagonists might be the catalyst that brings them into our view, but they are themselves people with their own hurts and dreams and wants and loves and needs, and oh aren’t they all the more beautiful and make the world so much deeper because of it.

It’s about these characters who on the surface are all a recognizable Trope™ and you expect that to be all they are, because it’s a story, and they are not even the main characters, and some of them are not even alive anymore, for all they have such a deep effect on the story. Except then the writer picks them up in all their messy, beautiful glory, rotates them a few inches to the side so you can see the myriad of facets hidden under their surface and says “Look. Look at them and how much more they are and can be, look at them and tell me what parts of yourself you see.”

It’s about finding people who you can be weak around but who also make you want to be strong for them when they have their turn to break. It’s about how meeting someone doesn’t necessarily make them your other half, how love isn’t something perfect and clean. It’s messy and jagged and comes with strings trailing behind from the lives you lived apart and the hurts you gained along the way but oh isn’t it worth it, to find someone who is willing and wanting to love you anyway. Who will fight for you and with you and will work alongside you to keep this thing that grows between you even when it is hard and your hurts clash and your scars reopen and bleed.

It’s about consequences and how the hurting in turn can also hurt others, either without meaning to or very much meaning to, but how there is forgiveness in the world just as much as there are consequences. It’s about how nothing is meant to last, but isn’t it beautiful while it is here for the time that it is, and won’t it be better to remember it when it is healthy and strong than to cling to it and chain it and force it to stay alive past it’s time.

It’s about how sometimes even the largest things in this world are connected by the smallest of red strings.

It’s about how, even when you are hurting and wounded, even when life has torn you down, it’s worth moving forward, because happy endings do exist, you just have to fight for them, and find the people out there who will be willing to help you do so.

#fruits basket #fruits basket spoilers #sorta #i'm skipping over so many details and simplifying so much to avoid spoilers #ya'll have no idea #*ugly cries*#i love this manga so much #please read the manga #if not that then watch the reboot anime I've heard really good things #even if I haven't finished it myself #NOT THE ORIGINAL ANIME #IT ENDS AT MAYBE A THIRD OF THE WAY THROUGH THE MANGA IF THAT #*cuddles my basket blorbos*#i love them your honor

Natsuki Takaya just casually slipping Hajime and Mutsuki into her montage of couples enjoying Valentine's Day at the end of Fruits Basket another Vol. 4 is a power move I was not expecting. Good for her

Okay so you like Fruits Basket too!? AWESOME!

Okay the thing is I am very hyperfixated on Fruits Basket and Persona, and I was like “what if Tohru had a Persona” and then I was playing Persona 2 and was like “yknow Maya and Tohru would get along especially well, huh?”

I really love the idea that since the Sohmas’ curses are part of the Chinese zodiac, that the Personas of the cast would be based on Chinese myth and history.

I’ve been trying to figure out the Arcana of the gang, but so far I think Tohru’s Persona is Nüwa (the Chinese creation goddess) and her card is the Fool, considering the Fool’s whole deal in Persona is their ability to draw power by connecting to others.

I’ve mostly been focusing on Tohru, Kyo, Yuki, Hanajima and Uotani so far (I love them all so much), but definitely want to extend further.

I’m not actually sure what reason there would be for the Fruits Basket cast to use Personas, but it’s really fun to think about.

omg yes

eating riceballs :)

i don't really know about what personas they would have but i did think about arcana! i know much more about tarot

ok imo hanajima would be the Moon!! the moon is known for its representation of femininity and the inner conisous and the unknown.

hanajima is clearly a girlboss fem queen, and she can get the vibes of other ppl (their waves, right?) another part of the moon is exposing the collective unconscious, things people are not aware of

kyo i think would be the tower, as the tower is dramatic sudden change, destruction and liberation.

tohrus appearance and witness of kyos form is clearly the change, and leads to his liberation of his destructive personalty!! the tower is often seen as a negative card that people dont want, but there are many other positive meanings in it too!! (kyo coded fr)

yuki is the hanged man card, which can mean seeing something from another perspective, being stuck, and is symbolic of the pause before something big happens. yuki lives his life stuck to akito, and is one of the zodiacs closest 2 her. moving w shigure is the peace b4 the storm (tohru + the events of fruba) seeing a new perspective is tohru and how not everyone is disgusted w the zodiac curse.

this is all just my opinion :0 the tarot is a highly opinion based and personal thing!! like personally i am not a religious or spiritual person so my view of the tarot is different!! but this was sososo fun to think about and i would love to hear about what u think ❤️❤️❤️

also sorry no uochan !! i was thinking maybe the World or the Judgement cards?

also akito would be the Wheel of Fortune hehe

sorry this is soso long but character analysis is mwah

It’s the way Kyo’s voice lowers and trembles a bit in the English dub when asking “could I…hold you” to Tohru, unsure if she’d say yes…

He knew (or so he thought) he’d transform after, but he didn’t give a crap, he just wanted to hug T_T

#idk why but I like ‘can I hold you’ better than ‘can I hug you’ it just hits different #he’s also touch starved man #my dude has never hugged or been hugged for real before #fruits basket #furuba #fruits basket spoilers #it’s been three years but still #kyo x tohru #kyoru #kyohru #I sound so gushy but I don’t like not talking about my favorite things

Still haven't forgiven the Fruits basket reboot for exaggerating dramatic moments for no good reason

I was rereading chapter 115 where Shigure and Ren discuss Akito , Akira and the curse, and there's this panel:

It stroke me that, as much as Ren is a picture of what Akito would become,had she remained in the obsessive, self destructive context of the family, the curse, and her father's wishes, Ren is also a mirror for Shigure to the extent that they had the same wish for the people they desired.

All Shigure wants, throughout the story, is for Akito to finally notice him, to notice how much he loves her by free will and not due to the curse, and to finally see him as an equal and as a man, not a substitute for her father or a general substitute for the parental unconditional love she never had.

And whereas this desire in Ren's case drove her to insanity, I think our grey morally man had a good(?)head on his shoulders to not let himself go down the same path. But Ren is for sure a mirror of what his desire of Akito could transform into, and I think Shigure is aware of the darkest side of his affection and desire, especially given that this love is not openly reciprocated by Akito.

Which is why I think that, contrary to popular belief, Shigure does get his character development, that may at first seem small to the reader, yet in his case I think it's huge: right where he could easily swoop in, manipulate and get Akito when in chapter 132 she is at her most vulnerable and open state, deciding to let go of everything she ever knew,Shigure gives her the opportunity to turn him down. Or to come to him freely, finally.

Which is in complete contrast to chapter 16 and his stating that he would do anything to get her, even hurt and manipulate her (but he was still furious with her then, while in the end of the story he comes to understand her a bit more).

And that's where he takes a different path than Ren.

I have more thoughts on this chapter, especially with regards to Shigure's savage burn to Ren, I 'll be back!! 😎
