Fruits Basket Season 3 Episode 12 Spoilers

In episode 11, Tooru runs as soon as she sees Kyo, later reflecting that her legs reacted even before her mind could process Kyo’s presence. She keeps thinking that her running away will disappoint Kyo, a reference to a conversation between them before the accident, and so she has to stop. Eventually, she does, and Kyo catches up to her. Acknowledging that he has been selfish and didn’t consider her feelings, he confesses his love and kisses her. He then asks her if he can hug her and starts to go down the road of despair once again, but Tooru is there to remind him that she loves and accepts him for who he is.

When she tells him that love is invincible, Kyo himself starts feeling invincible and discards the notions of inferiority and shame. And then he takes her into his arms, and they discover that his curse has broken. Meanwhile, at the Souma household, Akito feels the connection break and says goodbye. She recounts her visit to Tooru at the hospital. Although Akito thinks that she doesn’t deserve forgiveness, Tooru’s immense compassion once more shines bright and helps her empathize with her former tormentor. The episode then goes back in time and gives the original story of the Zodiac.

After Kyo’s curse breaks, it seems to act as a trigger, and the rest are freed as well. Episode 12 might show that although others seem to have forgiven Akito for her past actions, Rin hasn’t. Meanwhile, Akito might unsuccessfully try to make amends with her mother.
