Nazo to Okite
Mysteries and Laws

The mysteries that dot Fruits Basket; a number of those were selected and the key points explained.

Neko to Mi no Arasoi - The Rivalry between the Cat and the Rat

Kyo hated Yuki. He thought that the reason he suffered so much was because the Nezumi-tsuki (one possessed by the spirit of the rat) existed. But in truth, besides that, it was also because of a bet made with Akito.

The bet Kyo made with Akito!

Caption:
God's cruel idea. To reconsider the imprisonment if he could beat Yuki once.

Kyo to Kyoko no Kankei - The Link Between Kyo and Kyoko

Kyo and Kyoko have met. Someplace that Tohru doesn't know...... Kyoko told Kyo about her past. She felt sympathy/empathised with Kyo and it seems that the beginning of a friendship was starting between the two but......?

Caption:
Seeing Kyoko in a dream, Kyo remembers his mother who committed suicide. Could he have something to do with Kyoko's dying in an accident?

Kyoko continues to blame Kyo in dreams...!?

Tohru to Kakeru no Kankei - The Link Between Tohru and Kakeru

It seems that there is some connection between the two but...!?

Since before getting to know Yuki, Kakeru worried about Tohru. He says that it doesn't have to do with like or hate however. Actually, it seems that he's met Tohru before. Not to mention Saki says she feels like she's witnessed the scene......!?

Caption:
Even with Saki's direction, Tohru simply can't recall the situation where she met Kakeru.

Shigure no Omowaku - Shigure's Intentions

To obtain in some definitive form...!

Shigure's planning something. What he's wanting - to obtain in some definitive form, the dream he'd had as a child. Is that Akito's heart, or is it something else......?

Caption:
He's said that he won't be choosy how he does things in order to obtain his desires. He'll even use Tohru to do so.

Akito no Omowaku - Akito's Intentions

Like Shigure, Akito also hides something in her heart. Akito allowed Tohru to live in Shigure's home for it. That which she wishes is......!?

Akito's true wish is...

Caption:
Kyo who realises the inconsistency in Akito's argument. Akito has involved Tohru and is planning something.

Noroi - The Curse

The essence of the curse - that's the bond. While it's common for bonds to be spoken of as something very precious, if for the people involved it is a burden, even if you want to escape from the bond, you can't, and it becomes chains instead. Ren scoffs at the bond that Akito clings to calling it fake but!?

Caption:
To the ones possessed by the spirits, Akito - God - is one held in fear/awe and can never be defied, and at the same time, at the bottom of their hearts is a beloved, precious person. Isuzu, wanting to free Hatsuharu from that feeling, tries to remove the curse but...

Caption:
To Tohru who came to ask how to remove the curse, Kazuma explains what the curse is and what Akito is.

The "bond" itself is the "curse"...

Caption:
Isuzu explains what the curse is to Tohru. The blood bond that always, always ties them.
