Fruits Basket Season 3 Episode 8 Spoilers

In episode 7, Kyo dreams of Kyoko and his own mother. The latter tells him that he must remain inside the house with her; otherwise, bad things will continue to happen. When he sees Tooru lying on the floor, he wakes up terrified. Ren unsuccessfully tries to convince Shigure that the mysterious box that Akito has belongs to her. She later comes to Akito’s room with a knife in hand and takes the box. However, when she opens the box, she discovers that it’s empty. It is revealed that after Akira’s death, one of the maids gave the box to Akito, claiming that it contains Akira’s soul. Akito half-believed this until she opened it.

It was always Akito who has carried a part of her father within herself and not just for the world, but Ren in particular. Akira always knew he wouldn’t live long. With Akito, he wanted to show Ren their relationship was special. So, it’s incredibly ironic that Ren spent all these years being envious of Akito for her bond with her father. As Akito approaches Ren with the knife, she feels another rope snapping. This time, the curse breaks for Hiro, who takes his infant sister in his arms.

The episode ends as a deranged Akito stabs Kureno. In episode 8, Kureno might be hospitalized, where Arisa might come to visit him. Kyo will likely continue struggling with accepting his impending fate and his love for Tooru. He might even tell Tooru the truth about Kyoko’s death.
