In the anime series Bleach, when does Kyo fall in love with Tohru? The answer to that question varies with the interpretations of the characters. In some versions, Kyo is smitten by Tohru while others believe that he doesn’t feel the same way about her. In the anime, Kyo is much more accepting of Tohru’s feelings, as he is a Cat. In others, he finds Tohru more attractive than any other zodiac animal.
Kyo’s anger at Akito’s words
It’s easy to understand Kyo’s outrage at Akito’s words when she first falls in love with Tohru. It’s a common theme in romance, involving a girl falling in love with a troubled boy, and the awkward girl finding a princely type. However, the relationship between Kyo and Tohru is much more complex and healthy.
As a Zodiac, Kyo has no true form, so his “true form” resembles a monstrous four-legged creature. Because of this, Kyo is hated by his fellow zodiac members. Moreover, he is the only member of the Zodiac who has its true form, and so he is despised by his fellow zodiac members. Although he was a victim of harsh treatment at the hands of others, his true form is still the only one in the zodiac.
The initial scene between Kyo and Tohru is short and sweet, but it shows the two of them meeting for the first time. Akito accuses Kyo of being jealous of Tohru, and Kyo agrees. He then folds his hands in front of his chest, denying the accusations. This moment is the turning point in the story of Yuki and Tohru’s relationship.
Akito is at the hospital, and she runs into Yuki, who is also at the hospital. Shigure takes Akito to his home while he calls the hospital. She is in a critical condition. At this point, she has fallen unconscious. She tries to reassure Kyo, but he doesn’t believe her.
Kyo’s acceptance of their threats
Unlike the usual outbursts, Kyo accepts Tohru’s threats and cannot bear to see him again until he has sorted his feelings. He had also confronted his estranged father in chapter 126, and learned that his mother died of an accident. He was very upset about this and ordered the destruction of his mother’s room. He also wanted to kill Yuki to make amends for her death.
After a long day of rehearsals, Tohru asks Kyo a question: “Are you ready to go on stage with me and Kazuma?” Kyo is unsure of how to answer and feels guilty for not knowing what to do. However, he decides to create a flower paper and leave it on Tohru’s shoulder, where he is later found by Yuki.
While Kyo isn’t able to return to his former self, he acknowledges that he can be happy and has people accepting him. He’s not certain that Tohru can bring him happiness, but his happiness is a result of Tohru’s acceptance of him. Despite Tohru’s threats, Kyo’s acceptance of Tohru’s threats is a sign that he is not entirely lost, and that he has a future with Tohru.
Kyo’s rejection of Tohru’s threats is an act of self-deception. Tohru thinks that he is the one responsible for his mother’s death. This is not true. Despite his pranksterish behavior, he is still capable of destroying his mother’s life. In the manga, Kyo and Tohru marry.
Kyo’s lack of change
As the story progresses, Kyo’s lack of change continues to be an ongoing theme throughout the series. Tohru initially views Kyo as a whiny bitch with serious anger problems. He begins to rant every time a pencil falls in front of him. Eventually, he stops his tantrums and tries to get close to Tohru, but he is constantly interrupted.
In spite of being in love with Tohru, Kyo fails to change. Tohru is happy and loving, and Kyo is worried that she is naive and insecure. He mimics the Foolish Traveler parable by trying to make himself look like a goblin hidden in the woods. By complimenting Tohru’s charms with a self-deprecating remark, he is trying to prove that he is the perfect scapegoat and doesn’t want Tohru to sacrifice herself for someone who’s already dead.
Despite his love for Tohru, Kyo’s lack of change when in romance is not surprising. His mother was also cold and never offered love and comfort. Instead, she tended to see her daughter as an exception in the Zodiac. This resulted in her feeling unloved and alone. When she finally realized that Kyo was in love with Tohru, her mother started to see her in a new light and harbor more positive feelings for her.
When the characters first meet, Tohru’s best friend was a member of a gang, and her mother had a son from the previous gang. When they first met, Tohru’s best friend was in a gang and antisocial. This is a sign of a cursed person, but it doesn’t mean Kyo can’t fall in love with Tohru.
Tohru’s inability to express her feelings
The story begins with Tohru being sixteen years old and living in a tent. She moved in with her grandfather after her mother died. They have to live somewhere until the house is finished, and she doesn’t want to bother her friends with her problem, so she toughs it out in the wild. Kyo is also shocked to learn that Tohru is related to his father, “The Red Butterfly.”
While Kyo is smitten with Tohru, she can’t express her feelings to him. This is a major flaw in her character, and Kyo notices it as well. The character is too self-centered and doesn’t think about herself enough to be able to express her feelings. Fortunately, this problem is not the only thing holding her back, and Kyo is able to see this and save Tohru.
While Kyo and Tohru are not perfect people, their relationship isn’t terribly complicated. Kyo and Tohru eventually marry and have three children, though Kyo later runs away. Tohru’s inability to express her feelings when Kyo falls in love with Tohru is also one of the most heartbreaking things about the story.
As a result of her inability to express her feelings to Kyo, Tohru accepts him when he is at his most vulnerable. Tohru also goes against her mother’s wishes when it comes to breaking the curse. In spite of the curse, Tohru wants to spend as much time with Kyo as she can before graduating.
Momiji’s feelings for Tohru
While we know that Momiji has feelings for Tohru, we do not fully understand the extent of her affection for him. His backstory is extremely tragic. His mother rejected him when he was born and then tried to commit suicide after transforming into a demon. His father also approved of the mindwipe that makes Momiji forget his son. Because of his tragic past, Momiji is a loner, living alone in a compound. Tohru’s feelings for Momiji are largely repressed and hidden.
Despite the fact that Tohru’s feelings for Momiji aren’t known to anyone except Tohru’s, there are several clues that support her theory. For instance, Momiji wears a bunny backpack and regularly pesters Tohru for ice cream. Despite his insincerity, Momiji tries to make Tohru think about him. In the process, he learns that Tohru is not a girl and is still attracted to Momiji.
In another incident, Tohru’s mother tells Momiji about the misunderstanding between her and Akito. Momiji, a Zodiac, can’t disobey his father, and so he can’t be trusted by him as “God.” However, Momiji doesn’t show any fear of Akito, but still stands up for Tohru when he feels threatened by Akito. After beating Momiji, Tohru breaks down in tears and realizes that his love for her was unfounded.
While the main character of Fruits Basket, Momiji, is a supporting character, he has a crush on Tohru Honda. He is an outcast from his family, but he is quick to make friends at school. In Season 3, Momiji reveals his love for Tohru. He’s happy that Tohru thinks of him as a peer. The two have a history together. In fact, Tohru doesn’t remember who her first love was.
