Fruits Basket 1st Season

"29th Annual Kaibara High School Culture Festival"

The Culture Festival is coming up next month,

and things are suddenly getting busy at school.

It's official.

Our class has voted to operate a rice ball stand.

Next, I'd like to hear opinions on what fillings we should use.

Yes! How about tricolor rice balls?

It would be fun to have three fillings in one rice ball! And a good deal!

That's cute. I like it.

Seriously?

We should drop that idea, Yuki-kun!

Yeah, what if she suggests a tuna, kelp, and pickled plum combo?

Ugh, how gross!

The "gross" things here are your personalities, morons.

Don't bring steel pipes to school!

--How about battle rice balls? --Battle?

One-on-one matches, first to score an Ippon wins. The only rule is "no killing."

Weapons are allowed.

People fight for their rice balls, even if they bleed, even if they lose an arm!

Idea rejected.

What's with that attitude?! I'm cooperating and giving my idea!

What if we mix in some duds?

Maybe people who buy three could choose one more for free,

but some of the choices are duds?

Idea accepted!

Why'd you accept his idea?!

Yours was too weird, Kyon-Kyon.

Don't pout about it, Kyon-Kyon.

Don't call me "Kyon-Kyon"!

Don't be mad, Kyon-Kyon.

--Look, cats! --What the heck?

--When'd they get here? --Where'd they come from?

How cute!

Forget this!

Wait, Kyon-Kyon! What's with those cats?!

--Very odd. --Eep!

Don't worry, you're way ahead of him in oddness.

He's really hot-tempered, though, huh?

The polar opposite of our prince.

Here you are!

You really like high places, don't you, Kyo-kun?

Oh, hello, kitty.

So cute.

Cats love you, don't they?

Whatever. They just show up around me.

It happens to all of us with our animals.

Wow, that must be fun!

Like hell it is!

Did you want something, or what?

I was just worried, that's all.

You don't need me. Everything'll go fine as long as Yuki's there.

He's always been smart, good at organizing stuff, and good with people.

Everybody naturally respects his talents and trusts him.

I'm the one who started martial arts first, and now he's better at it than me.

I knew it. Rat children are always special.

Yes. Too bad the same can't be said of Cat children.

It pisses me off.

Not like I have a choice. If I could be like him...

...I would.

"Fruits Basket"

Let's play Rich Man-Poor Man!

Go to freakin' Yuki for that.

But Soma-kun isn't here.

Way to spoil my fun.

You seem so dumb and unorganized, I figured you'd make an easy mark.

A real man never runs away from a fight, you know. Pathetic!

Fine, you're on! Try not to cry when you lose, Gangster Girl!

The loser's gotta do everyone's cleaning duty!

Ah, what a pleasant maelstrom of waves.

I wonder where Soma-kun went...

I'm sorry.

I'm just not interested in dating anyone right now.

So I can't be what you--

No, I don't want to hear this!

Yuki-kun!

Er, I'm... um...

You're nice, Yuki-kun, but you're closed off to other people, aren't you?

Everyone says it!

"Yuki-kun is special!" "A normal girl isn't good enough for him!"

Revolution!

You underhanded jerk!

It's allowed in the damn rules!

Hmm, Revolution turns the strong cards weak, so...

Secret technique:

Revolution Reversal.

Hey!

She got you, Carrots.

Nice work, Hanajima-san.

Looking lame there, Kyon-Kyon.

Shut up! We're just getting started!

You're closed off to other people, aren't you?

Rich Man-Poor Man, eh?

I know the rules, but I've never played it.

I only learned it from Uo-chan just recently.

You should join us next time!

So he ended up the Poor Man, I see.

Please let me help.

No. A loss is a loss.

But I'm gonna win next time, got it?!

I'll beat you, too, obviously!

Don't you ever get sick of saying that?

Winning against you is my mission! My goal!

Having to deal with that is my annoyance. My misfortune.

That condescending attitude of yours pisses me off!

That simplistic thinking of yours pisses me off.

--I'm gonna make that ugly face of yours cry "Uncle" one day! --Th-They're fighting again.

--I'm gonna make that ugly face of yours cry "Uncle" one day! --I don't think the fact that they're Rat and Cat

--Uncle. --I don't think the fact that they're Rat and Cat

--Hey! Aren't you embarrassed to just come out and say that?! --is enough to explain why their relationship is this bad.

Come to think of it...

I'll win against you, and become a full-fledged member of the Somas!

Did Kyo-kun mean that if he can beat Soma-kun,

he'll be included in zodiac?

Which would mean...

The Cat and the Twelve would become the Thirteen?!

That would be wonderful!

--I'll beat you into the ground! --But fighting is no good...

--Great ready, you cold-blooded rat! --Um, Kyo-kun--

Watching you makes my blood boil.

Soma-kun...

Dammit.

Why can't I win?

Are you all right? You didn't bite your tongue, did you?

I'm not an amateur!

Just forget me and get out of here!

No, I mean... um...

It's just uncool how I keep losing, you know?

--Huh? --Never mind!

Just go home. You've got work today, right?

His moves were a lot rougher than usual. Maybe he's in a bad mood...

Good night!

Soma-kun is so considerate of other people,

but maybe that makes him bottle up all his feelings inside.

And so...

Ouch!

It's dangerous to think while you walk.

Good evening.

Who is this? They're in the building so late at night...

"Tohru Honda"

--"Tohru"? --Huh?!

Tohru Honda?

Y-Yes, that's me...

Sieh da! Welch ein Glück!

A foreigner!

Schön dich kennenzulernen.

I-I'm sorry! I don't speak English!

Sehr hübsch!

Um, I, um--!

Good night!

"29th Annual Kaibara High School Culture Festival"

Fest...?

Honda-san? What's got you so flustered?

Th-There was a strange f-f-for--

"For"?

Soma-kun?

Hi. I hope work went well.

Did you come here to walk me home?

Yep. It's dangerous for girls to be out this late.

Thank you very much! You and Kyo-kun are both so kind.

Well, shall we?

S-Soma-kun!

Um... if you happen to have any pent-up worries or anything, please tell me!

Like they say, telling someone your bad dreams brings good luck, so...

If you're comfortable with me,

--I don't mind you hitting me with all the wor--

--Stop flirting and go home, youngsters! --I don't mind you hitting me with all the wor--

I meant that, but I may be adding to your worries.

Back when I lived at home,

it felt like I was in a cage, with the main family and Akito always watching.

I longed for a normal life surrounded by normal people.

That's why I applied to a coed high school and left home.

But I haven't really managed to leave the cage.

I'm still living in a Soma house, and I can't interact well with normal people.

I think I'm subconsciously keeping my distance

so people won't get too personal with me.

But Kyo isn't like that. His stranger anxiety is intense at first,

but he's the type who attracts people to him once he gets used to them and relaxes.

Always has been.

Even if he can't be one of the Twelve,
