Fruit Basket Season 3 Episode 9 Recap
Warning: If you have yet to watch Fruits Basket Season 3 Episode 9, you might want to skip to the next section: there will be spoilers below.
Even if you've already read the manga, you probably felt some degree of stress with Episode 9. Kyo has just run away following Tohru's confession, leaving her alone to be found by a distressed Akito. The head of the Sohma family has finally realized that things are changing irrevocably for her, but she isn't ready to accept that... nor was she ready to see Tohru identifying with her!
Still numb by Kyo's rejection, Tohru is nevertheless ready to move on with her life. While she still treasures the memory of her mother, Kyoko, she now knows that she's ready to let go of her grief and live on whether or not Kyo accepts her love. Tohru is so sweet and empathetic that it would be easy to think of her as Akito's polar opposite, but Tohru herself thinks otherwise.
Tohru immediately sees through Akito's violent demeanor: she understands that the young woman has been horribly abused and simultaneously brought up to think of herself as special, above anyone else. Realizing that this was most of all a lonely position, Tohru offers Akito her friendship and goes after her when she runs away, promising that she will still accept her despite her flaws.
Just as Akito is going to accept, the ground under Tohru's feet gives away and she falls off a cliff. A panicked Akito calls for help. The minutes during which you can't tell whether Tohru is dead or alive must be among the most stressful in the entire series - Kyo's tearful confession to an unconscious Tohru might be the show's most heartbreaking scene so far.
Thankfully, Tohru makes it to the hospital alive Yuki and Momiji visit her often, but Kyo is too ashamed to do so. For the first time, Akito feels remorse and realizes that he must set Kureno and the other Sohmas free. The viewers might think that Akito got away too easily, but at least, that's addressed in-universe. Momiji reminds Akito how lucky she is that Kureno and Tohru don't hate her for what she did to them, and urges her to cherish them from now on.
The episode closes with Akito finally gathering the courage to visit Tohru in the hospital. But will Kyo finally gather the courage to confess his true feelings? Episode 10 has better provide some answers!
