Fruits Basket, Final Season OP & ED

so, furuba decided to take “teasing with spoilers in OP & ED” to the highest level there is. Forget teasers. Show EVERYTHING. lol. Other anime do spoilers in their OP, ED, such as attack on titans & others, but these shows have 1001 mysteries, you can spoil a ton of’em but they have more in the story! But furuba... I mean if you worried abt....:

Drama & tension? Worry not. They’ll all be peaceful & happy.

Someone stabbed? Worry not. He’s alive!

Romantic love tension? Worry not. They’ll all be together!

Miserable Antagonist? Worry not. She found peace in love!

Curse? Worry not! the beads are broken & no transformation is shown!

I tried to brainstorm Why go to this blatant level of showing such heavy spoilers to your anime watchers???

Could it be all the content in the OP & ED are intentional misdirection to throw you off & the ending is totally the opposite?If so, then since the OP & ED are all peaceful, then the reality is tragic! kinda against furuba’s hopeful message. Remember how episodic most of the content are in se01 & most of se02? they always made sure to end the eps happily, minus a handful of eps.

Could it be the anime is going to be a promotion of the manga & they’ll leave with open ending, so you have to buy the manga to know how it ends? but for ppl like me, why read a manga you’ve watch two thirds of its content already in anime format. Moreover, if it is indeed a promotion to the manga, shouldn’t they stop the anime after se02?

Could it be that the entire anime is a gift exclusively to manga readers? They’re the ones who’ll 100% appreciate all the blatant & heavy spoilerish content in the ED & OP cuz they KNOW where the story will go. Seeing anime spoilers as manga readers is so exciting & rewarding! but for an anime only.. I mean.. Even if I like the story & its characters & even it it is not abt the end but the journey...leaving NO room for speculations kills the anticipation. so, I really don’t get it.

All the previous EDs contained excellent “symbolic” spoilers. The ones that if you think long enough abt them , you might get a hint at what follows. such as kyo trapped in bamboo trees symbolizing his imprisonment & so on for others. But this time we see this:

Kyo taking off his beads! Breaking them! tearing them!! DUDE!!! this is huge!! I even tired to convenience myself that someone took it off him. but it looks like a shot from firs perspective & both hands are the same size & same skin color! I thought perhaps he took it off to transform & I duno ..do some damage in a moment of despair. But no. Kyo in the ED is the most peaceful, happy & content kyo that ever existed!!!! He took his own beads off. He broke his curse. How? I duno, but I sure wish that I didn’t see this scene so early..... kinda kills all the drama with kyoko, tohru, yuki & akito. I was so worried abt kyo, I literally watched se02, ep9 tons of times in the past months, to try to group some possibilities to an exit. Now, I’ll rule out all the tragic possibilities. what a waste of my time, XD. but that’s on me. I was too attached, which is wrong & rare for me.

Kureno very happy, healthy & well & with Arisa (in her high school uniform..-_-). XD!! why did we live the drama that is Se03, ep 1? So Arisa didn’t give up on Kureno & he left akito after the stab shown in the trailer?. seems that he said “ enough is enough”. lol. Akito’s knife wound is superficial it seems.

Momo met Momiji.

Kagura continued to befriend Ritsu & editor-san too!

kisa & hiro are love love, along with his baby sibling.

Mine & Aya, Hatori & Mayu, Haru & Isuzu are love love ( but that was already confirmed, so no spoilers)

Shigure won & got Akito who looks soft & at peace.

yuki about to turn to follow matchi & kakeru in his new journey. looking back one last time at tohru, I suppose. Arigato & sayonara.

Kyo is at his most peaceful look ever with eyes filled with content & love.

Tohru so happy & joyful.

Hand holding, I suppose kyo & tohru cuz the uniform & kyo’s hands has no beads!! curse bye bye...

WHERE IS KAZUMA??!!! you really showed all, including a framed kyoko pic but left best dad kazuma? the betrayal!!!! XD

Hey~ I’m writing this post with a tender sarcastic tone, so don’t take it as I’m mad. I’m not angry at all. I’m disappointed, true, but oh well~ it is what it is. I’ve been disappointed quite a number of times with furuba but the story always triumphs! So I’m kinda disappointed they spoiled “ the story” so much~ but hey~ I’ll stay for the journey. How they get to this all happy, all in love ending. But You bet I won’t be sitting on the edge of my seat nor wasting precious time worrying abt anyone!!! I’ll tear up at their pain & feel their trauma, but I’ll do it with “ don’t worry X, You’ll 100% make it! cuz I saw it in the ED”. XD.

once again, furuba is not perfect, but it is a nice story with unique elements, so, let the final season bring it on ~

6/9: The Con(vention) Run-in

Rating: PG (Fake fight for photo op)

Characters: Convention Attendee!Bang Chan x Reader (any gender), featuring Convention Attendee!Felix and mention of other characters

Notes: The final day of my birthday surprise series. Normally I try to attend Comic Con or its sister convention WonderCon, but both were postponed due to current events. This is a non-idol AU. The Aussie line are imagined as cousins in this story. All content is fictional. Please do not repost anywhere!

I can’t believe it... Sent 8:10 AM

It won’t be that bad! Besides the tickets were free! Sent 8:12 AM

Chan looked up from his phone when he felt a tap on his shoulder. His cousin was holding out his badge he needed to wear to enter the convention and he thanked him. He put his phone away in a pocket and slipped the lanyard on over his head.

Instead of working on music like he usually did in his spare time, Chan was accompanying his cousin Felix to a comic convention. The latter won tickets through a radio contest and his parents couldn’t attend. Because his mom didn’t want him going alone, she asked Chan if he could spare a weekend and accompany Felix to the convention.

Most his friends were shocked he would tag along with the younger boy, especially since Felix was the one who was more into the nerd scene, namely anime and manga. Chan’s friend Hyunjin was convinced that the former’s aunt likely bribed him with money if he drove and chaperoned Felix for a weekend at the convention, but Chan insisted he really wanted to go. Sure he wasn’t a huge comic book or pop culture nerd like his cousin, but it gave him an excuse to wear that Captain America costume he spent too much money on from Halloween.

“Thanks again,” Felix said as he flipped his badge to the front, showing his name. “Mum said lunch and dinner is on her.”

“No, it’s fine,” Chan insisted.

Felix shook his head and replied that it was non-negotiable. The pair made their way to a line to enter the convention center and waited for security to wave them inside. They flashed their badges at the security personnel and stepped inside.

Felix adjusted his beret, which was starting to slide off his head, due to the long rabbit ears he put on top.

“So uh, who are you again?” Chan asked as he studied his cousin’s costume.

“Momiji from Fruits Basket,” Felix explained. “He’s the rabbit in the Chinese zodiac. Thought it made sense, since everyone thinks I’m still a kid with the baby face.”

“Plus the hair,” Chan added. “Okay, never saw the anime, but cool!”

Felix nodded as he fixed his backpack straps and dashed ahead to check out the tables in the art section of the convention. Chan tried to catch up and had to apologize as he weaved around other participants. He ducked as a Harley Quinn from the recent live-action film barely missed him with her toy bat, as she started to put it up for a photo op.

“Hang on Cap, can I get a picture?” a male voice asked.

Chan whirled around and saw it was a father with a young son, dressed as Thor. He smiled at the son and nodded as he removed his shield backpack off his shoulders to hold for the photo. The son hesitated, and shyly looked up at Chan.

“Come on Thor, we need you in the picture too,” Chan said as he motioned for the young boy to stand next to him.

The young boy skipped over to him and Chan knelt down on one knee. He held out his shield backpack, while the boy clutched his toy version of Mjölnir. The father snapped the picture with his digital camera and quickly checked the photo, before flashing a thumbs-up.

“Thank you,” Chan said as he stood up. He waved goodbye to the young boy and secured the backpack on his shoulders. He craned his neck, looking for Felix, who was several feet away, talking to one artist at their booth. He quickly walked toward his cousin and tapped him on the shoulder.

Felix whirled around and pointed to some example works of art that the artist had on display. “Perfect timing! Actually I was thinking about doing a commission with this guy. Who should I have done?”

Chan bit his lip and tried to think of any anime characters that he might know. He maybe watched a few as a kid growing up, but his mum made him go out and play or practice swimming, which was better than sitting in front of a screen in her opinion.

“Um...Goku from Dragonball Z? Naruto?” he offered, trying not to wince. “Sorry, it’s been a really long time since I’ve watched an anime.”

Felix nodded and flipped through the dossier on the table for inspiration for a few seconds. Eventually he settled on some character from an anime he wasn’t familiar with (Tower something?) and the artist scribbled a note in his notebook.

“It’s going to take me probably until 1 PM to do that,” the artist told Felix. “Someone is ahead of you with a two character commission, so that’s gonna be worked on first. I’d say come back around 2:30 and I might have it ready by then.”

Felix thanked him and dug out his wallet to pay for the piece. He passed over some bills and the artist made change for him.

————–

“Is that Binnie you’re messaging?” Felix asked.

Chan shook his head as he looked up from his phone. “Hyunjin. He’s convinced I’m trapped and not having fun. But then again, he’s not big on crowds and comic stuff.”

“Oh...” Felix trailed off. He craned his neck and noticed there were two seats closer to the front of the room. “We should grab those before the next panel starts.” He pushed himself out of his seat and quickly walked over to the empty chairs.

Chan stood up and followed his cousin, eventually taking the aisle seat in their new row. The pair had walked the floor for a few hours and now they were sitting in a room to listen and watch a panel on some anime series that Felix watched regularly. This allowed Chan to sit and relax, as well as respond to Hyunjin about how things were going.

“I promise we can grab lunch after this,” Felix whispered as someone came on stage to introduce the panelists.

Chan flashed him a thumbs-up and pocketed his phone out of respect for the panel. He leaned back in his seat as the moderator introduced all of the voice acting talent and then they rolled a new trailer for the next season. Once the trailer ended, the moderator began asking questions to the members on the panel and the audience listened to their responses. Eventually the panel began accepting fan questions, and Felix decided to rush up to the mic to ask one.

“MOMIJI!” one of the female panelists yelled with a huge smile on her face. “Oh my gosh, you are precious!”

Felix blushed at the compliment and ducked his head, before composing him and asking his question. The deep voice shocked the panelists and Chan bit back a laugh as one of the male panelists joked that he wanted to trade voices with Felix. The comment made the room laugh and Felix laughed along with them, then stepped to the side for the next fan to ask their question.

————–

The boys exited the panel room after Felix’s panel concluded and Chan began researching local restaurants they could get lunch at. Both decided against the convention center food, as it was pricey and Felix mentioned that Minho had tried it once during a cat convention, giving it poor reviews.

“There’s a cat convention? Oh wait, that’s rhetorical,” Chan mused as he pictured their friend walking every row of the cat convention with a content smile on his face. “Do you know if they had cats for adoption? Or was it products for your cat?”

“Both apparently,” Felix replied as he crossed his arms over his chest. “Minho went to look at special food for one cat, cause he needed to go on a diet, and then he wanted a fancy collar for his female cat.”

“That’s not where he got the third cat right?”

His cousin gave him a blank look and scrunched his brows. “Hang on, he has three now? I thought he only had two!”

“No he’s got three now,” Chan confirmed. “His Christmas card showed him with three cats plus him wearing Santa hats.”

Felix tried to recall if he got a Christmas card from Minho, while Chan went back to looking at restaurants. He paused when he found some options and started to show them to his cousin. Then he felt a hand on his shoulder and he turned his head to see it was someone dressed as Bucky Barnes in his Winter Soldier attire.

“Hey Cap, could we get a fight picture?” you asked under your black mask.

He nodded as he slowly removed his backpack from his shoulders and held the straps so they wouldn’t show in the picture. He turned to face you and you balled up the fist with your “metal” arm.

“I’m going to punch your shield, okay?” you explained.

He nodded and positioned himself as if he was defending himself with the shield. You placed your fist on the center of the shield and adjusted your feet, so it looked more convincing.

Felix stepped between the two of you and asked if you had a camera or phone you wanted to use. You nodded and used your free hand to pull out and unlock your phone. You switched to the camera app and handed it to him, murmuring a thank you.

He took the phone and put in landscape mode, checking to make sure everything was in focus. He counted to three, before clicking the button your screen a few times, just so you had more than one. He then switched to his phone and took some pictures too. He passed your phone over and you thanked him before checking the photos over.

“Perfect, thanks,” you replied. You dug around in your tactical vest and produced a card with your name and Instagram handle on it. “If you’re on IG, feel free to tag me. I’ll be uploading pics later tonight.”

Chan accepted the card and thanked you with a smile. He put it away in his pocket and added that you did an amazing job with it.

“Thank you,” you replied. “The arm was the hardest part but it came out good. Not the most comfortable thing to wear, but it’s all good. You make a good Cap.”

Chan ducked his head and waved it away as nothing. “I bought my costume – wish I had your talent.”

“Ah who cares? It looks great and you do too,” you confirmed, flashing him a thumbs-up. Your phone buzzed in your hand and you groaned when you saw it was your alarm for your next panel you were hoping to see. “Shoot, gotta run. My panel starts in 7 minutes. Have a great con!”

Chan nodded as he waved goodbye to you, while Felix held up his phone to show off his pictures.

“They came out pretty good,” he noted. “I’m guessing they’re a professional cosplayer.”

Chan patted the pocket with the card. “I’ll have to look them up online when we’re done.”
