In this episode of Shoujo Sundae, Giana and Chika review episodes fifty-four through fifty-six of Fruits Basket (2019)! In episode fifty-four, Rin is missing, causing concern among the younger zodiacs. Hiro tearfully tells Hatsuharu and Kisa the truth about why Akito hurt Rin and Kisa. As a result, Haru confronts Akito. Kureno has Rin taken to the hospital, where she later escapes, and collapses on the street. Haru comes to her aid. In episode fifty-five, Momiji has a growth spurt that takes everyone by surprise. He urges Kyo to not give up on Tohru, or else he might swoop in. Suddenly, in the middle of the night, Momiji’s bond severs, bringing his future into his own hands for the first time. In episode fifty-six, Shigure tells Rin and Tohru that the curse will break on its own. Tohru worries it won’t break in time for Kyo to maintain his freedom.
