Fruits Basket 1st Season

Don't be so full of it, middle school punk!

Quit struttin' around like you're all that, you hear?

Hey, call the others over.

We'll make a show of this.

Get her on her knees, make her show respect.

You little--

Get back over here, dammit!

Don't go picking fights with a middle schooler.

Act your age.

What're you screaming about?

I-I crashed into you yet again.

-I-I'm sorr--

--Uotani! --I-I'm sorr--

Where are you?!

There she is!

Crap!

Don't run away, you punk!

Stop, dammit!

I'm only running 'cause she...

She just...

"Fruits Basket"

Why'd you help--

Please...

You all right there?

Y-Yes. P-Please go in...

We need to tend your cuts, Uo-chan.

"First Aid Kit"

Stop calling me that!

--And I'll do it myself! --Oh, okay. Sorry.

I ended up coming here again.

Is that her dad?

Didn't realize he was dead.

"Get better soon!"

"Mom's ♡ Tohru's ♡" "Tohru's "Tohru ♡ Mom's ♡" Mom's ♡"

Those doting idiots.

Oh, yeah, that tofu...

...was probably for dinner.

It's unfortunate that it was cloudy all last week.

--Yes, I'm sure many people's clothes didn't dry properly.

--Bye. See you tomorrow! --Yes, I'm sure many people's clothes didn't dry properly.

--Bye. See you tomorrow! --Whereas this week, we've suddenly had a succession of clear skies.

--Bye-bye. --Whereas this week, we've suddenly had a succession of clear skies.

--Whereas this week, we've suddenly had a succession of clear skies.

That's true. It really felt like spring today.

It looks like this will continue tomorrow.

It was so warm, I even got sweaty.

Why is the temperature rising so high?

Uo-chan ! I-I mean, Uotani-san,

I hope you'll stay for dinner--

Uotani-san?

Of course it's uncomfortable here.

I've never experienced an atmosphere like this.

'Cause I've never had it.

So I feel like an outcast, and it's uncomfortable.

But even if I had something like this,

I'd still say things "you're not my dad" and "go to hell,"

like I didn't give a damn.

Even if my old man had dinner waiting for me,

I'd say "I'm not going home,"

or say "it tastes like crap" and refuse to eat.

I know I would. Without batting an eye, too.

So what difference does it make whether I have this or not?

Isn't it the same?

It should be the same.

So what's with this?

I'm jealous, and I want it, too...

I feel like an idiot!

Uo-chan?!

Oh, I-I mean, um...

Yeah, what?

What?!

Uo-chan...

The skyline near twilight.

The smell of dinner cooking.

Houses lit up.

The home you go back to after saying bye to your friends.

People who wait for you to come home.

Kind people who welcome you home with a smile.

Was I actually just lonely?

I just relaxed a bit, that's all.

All this time...

...maybe I was actually just lonely.

Trivial moments...

...but precious moments.

Maybe that's what I was looking for..

Listen to me, blabbering on about my embarrassing youth.

Anyway, I love Tohru.

Love.

So what happened with you and her mom?

Oh, right. I guess I pretty much just told you my memories with Tohru.

Hm, maybe I shouldn't tell them the next part.

Uotani!

Step outside, we got business with you.

Alone, obviously.

Should we head out soon?

Yes, our stomachs are satisfied.

She blew us off!

See? I told you we shoulda called her out earlier!

It's 'cause you took forever getting pics of the boys, Ishi-chan.

--Not my fault! I couldn't get a good angle of them--

--Thanks. --Not my fault! I couldn't get a good angle of them--

--Thank you. --Not my fault! I couldn't get a good angle of them--

Thank you very much!

Hey! Wait, Uotani!

Oh, I didn't mean... you guys...

Nope, I can't tell anybody about this.

It's a little embarrassing how I acted after that.

Hey, stop!

I said stop, Arisa Uotani!

Quit ignoring us, dammit!

Oi, you sure you don't know them?

They're calling you by name.

I've never met those outdated delinquents in my life.

Look who's talking!

Don't you look down on us!

Sure, we're just some ordinary delinquents now,

but we're gonna make ourselves famous thrashing all the show-offs like you,

build a delinquent army that scares the shit outta people,

and take over this whole neighborhood!

Good luck.

She doesn't mean it!

I wonder what a delinquent army is.

Shall I take care of them?

Bad idea.

But yeah...

...I used to be like them, too.

I wanted people to pay attention to me, but I also wanted to be left alone.

No matter how old people get, they never stop being selfish.

Everybody. Me included.

Adults, too?

Then why do they act like they're so much better than us?

My deepest apologies!

From then on, I went to Tohru's house often.

Kyoko-san always warmly welcomed me.

She always listened, and carefully considered my childish problems.

All right! Finished removing the stems!

Thank you for your hard work!

Hey, Tohru? Why do you always speak so politely?

That was Katsuya's-- Oh, Tohru's dad's name was Katsuya.

That was a habit of Katsuya's that Tohru caught.

Thank you very much.

But I don't mind! It's so cute!

You really are such a doting parent.

It's cute, but still.

Before I knew it, that place became a comfortable atmosphere.

I guess Kyoko-san and Tohru made it that way.

So, that's how I started spending more time with them.

I became friends with Tohru, and even started going to school.

-Because if I went to school, I could see Tohru.

--The year 1600. --Because if I went to school, I could see Tohru.

Um... The Battle of Sekigahara.

The third shogun?

Iemitsu Tokugawa.

Okay, the year 1853.

First hint: a foreigner.

Second hint: a boat.

Oh, the arrival of Perry-san!

Bingo!

But you don't need the "-san."

Oh, right!

Studying was fun once I understood it.

And it was easy to get along with Tohru.

That's because Tohru was standing by me from the start.

--Whenever I swallowed my pride to seek her out, she was already right there.

-I made too much curry yesterday, so please come by and have some.

You serious? I'll be there.

Uotani-san?

What do you think you're doing?

We're just talking.

Honda-san, are you all right?

What do you mean?

But apparently we didn't look like friends to the people around us.

Nothing I could do about it.

I haven't seen Uotani lately.

Akimoto, y'know anything?

No.

I heard she's actually been going to school.
