Episode 80 - Fruits Basket Finale (Season 2) (Fruits Basket Eps 47-50)

Podcast

Dec 29

In this episode of Shoujo Sundae, Giana and Chika review episodes forty-seven through fifty of Fruits Basket (2019)! In episode forty-seven, Yuki and Manabe discuss Tohru and the nature of Yuki’s feelings towards her. Tohru’s class decides to rewrite Cinderella to fit their odd casting choices. In episode forty-eight, it’s showtime! Cinderella-ish is a hilarious success, despite an out of character outburst from Tohru at the end of the show, causing Kyo to wonder about her true feelings towards him. In episode forty-nine, Yuki makes sure to include Machi in the student council’s plans to celebrate the end of the school year together. It’s also time for the New Year’s banquet at the Sohma estate, which results in an unsettling exchange between Akito and Yuki around forgiveness of one another. Tohru spends the holiday with Kyo, Kazuma, and Rin at Kazuma’s dojo. Tohru’s wish for the new year is for the Sohma’s curse to be broken. In episode fifty, Kureno laments to Tohru about his feelings for Arisa. Shigure and Tohru learn the true nature of Kureno’s bond to Akito.

It’s finale time! Grab your spoon, and let’s dig in!

Note from Giana: Apologies for background noise bleeding through! The apartment I moved into over the summer is by a really busy intersection, and my neighbors are noisy both downstairs and next door. Episodes recorded here may have less than perfect audio until I move somewhere hopefully quieter in June of 2025. Thanks for understanding!
