He then cast a spell that ensured that everyone in the meal would remain friends no matter how many times they were resurrected. Members of the Sohma family have been reborn as the thirteen animals or the God ever then. Akito is the God in the manga.
The spell’s purpose was to keep the animals together, but the God was so powerful that a rejection from God might physically and mentally harm the Zodiacs. With this, the family member who turned out to be God took advantage of the situation to abuse the other family members.
Kureno’s curse was the first to be broken. It happened ten years before the narrative began. The members of the Sohma family are aware that the curse is beginning to wane as a result of this. They assume that, like Kureno, their curse will fade with time, but something happened that caused the curse to shatter faster than they anticipated.
The Zodiac members built a deep bond with Tohru. She was also the one who accepted Kyo and loved the unloved. Another event that broke the curse was when a Zodiac member defied God or desired independence from Him.
Tohru and Akito formed a bond. With empathy, Tohru persuaded her and even offered her friendship. Akito then desired to demolish the Cat’s Room and free the remaining Zodiac members. She also stated that she does not wish to be a special God, but rather a regular young lady. The bonds were weakened and eventually shattered as a result of this.
To recap, Tohru simply by being herself broke the spell. With an open heart, Tohru formed relationships with the Zodiacs, which she strengthened through her care and affection for them.

Momiji must figure out a way to break his curse.
He was reared by servants and lives alone within the Sohma family complex. His mother was revolted when she first learnt of the zodiac curse when she first held him, shortly after he was born; she later had Hatori delete her memory that Momiji is her son. Her feelings for him were so abrasive and unpredictable that just seeing him might send her into a frenzy. Finally, she pleaded with Hatori to wipe her memories, saying that her greatest regret in life was “that thing coming out of my body.” Momo, his younger sister, is ignorant that he is her elder brother, despite her fascination in him and her decision to take violin lessons because he plays the violin.
Momiji, despite his background, is perceptive of others and emotionally powerful. His curse is broken before the rest of the zodiac in Chapter 115, and despite Akito’s pleadings and threats, he decides to leave him one day. Despite his curse, Momiji warms up to Tohru instantly, kissing her when they first meet and cuddling her when they are properly introduced. He assists Tohru in her nighttime job as an office cleaner in one of his father’s buildings on occasion, and once filled in for her when she was unwell with a cold. He adores Tohru and will go to any length to defend her, even if it means defying Akito.
Momiji tells Hatsuharu and Rin in the final chapter that he hopes to find a woman as wonderful as Tohru if Kyo does not act on his affections for her.
Kureno must figure out a way to break the curse.
Kureno and Arisa rejoin in town ten days later, and they recognize each other from the day at the convenience store. Kureno offers Arisa lunch to catch up, and she accepts, expressing her desire for tororo soba. They learn more about one other during lunch, and Kureno admits that he doesn’t get out often; in fact, the first time he met Arisa was also the first time he went to a convenience shop. In relation to this, he notes that he lives his life in a certain manner and that he doesn’t do “unnecessary” things like going for walks or shopping very often. Arisa inquires if he is actually content, to which he responds that he is.
Arisa is enraged by this since, while she had hoped to see him and was overjoyed when she was able to, he just saw their time together as “unnecessary.” Kureno follows her out the door and hastily apologizes for saying something so harsh. He adds that he, too, wished to see her again and that spending time with her made him happy. Kureno gives Arisa a sincere smile as she chuckles. He leans in as if to kiss her, but he leaves her hanging, puzzled and perplexed. Later, Kureno is shown heading into Akito Sohma’s chamber, where she asks him whether he feels uneasy “outside.” Kureno returns Akito’s side while reflecting on how he had wished to keep Arisa by his side forever and regrets that he may now have to forget about her.
During the summer, Akito takes Kureno to the Sohma beach house, where the majority of the other Cursed Sohmas and Tohru were vacationing. Yuki Sohma is taken aback when he sees Kureno near the ocean and by Akito’s side. Shigure, too, expresses his surprise that Akito brought Kureno along. Kureno can only look away when Akito confronts Yuki about his insecurities. Kureno stays at Akito’s side for the rest of the holiday, however Akito isolates Kureno by not allowing him to see the other Zodiac members or attend the Zodiac reunions. Kureno complies without hesitation.
Kureno informs Akito that she had gotten a call from the main home one night. Akito implies that her mother, Ren, has caused a commotion at home, and Kureno tells her to return home to sort things out. Akito, on the other hand, dashes out to the Sohma’s beach house to “meet” Tohru, but ends up telling her the truth about the curse. When Kureno comes up to her, Akito introduces Tohru as the Rooster, and Kureno meets her graciously. Kureno then accompanies Akito back to his house, leaving everyone else at the beach house.
Tohru begins on a secret search for Kureno Sohma after learning from Arisa that the man she has a crush on is named Kureno Sohma. She enters the Sohma “inside” and finds Kureno in his office, and when she is about to be discovered by Ren, Kureno saves the day and takes Tohru’s place. Tohru asks him whether he knows Arisa, which strikes a chord with Kureno, and he drags her out of the property. He informs her, though, that he has no plans to meet her again. Kureno is unable to respond when Tohru asks if it’s because he’s one of the Zodiacs. Tohru, on the other hand, swiftly offers him Arisa’s contact information, and Kureno laughs at her sincerity and persistence in her acts, so he chooses to safely let Tohru go.
Momiji decides to copy the recorded play to DVD and present it to Kureno after Arisa’s class has a play. Momiji hurriedly hands the DVD to Kureno during the annual Zodiac Banquet on New Year’s Eve. Kureno watches the play on his own the next day, after nervously agreeing to stay by Akito’s side forever and sleep with her. He is taken aback and reminded of how lonely he is when he sees Arisa break out of her role and shout out in rage because she wanted Kureno to see her. Even though he appears to want to meet Arisa, he is haunted by a memory in which Akito begs him not to abandon her. As a result, Kureno dials Shigure’s number and informs him that he has something to discuss.
He then encounters Tohru accidently on her part, and she is taken aback when she notices that all the birds have flown away from him. He hugs Tohru and tells her that his curse was broken when he was her age – and that “he can’t fly anymore.” He then gives Tohru the DVD, explaining that her gift was “wasted” and that, despite being free of the curse, he will never see Arisa again and will always be by Akito’s side. Despite the fact that he dismisses his two encounters with Arisa as insignificant, he quickly breaks down in tears and realizes that he really does want to see her, as she was the first woman he fell in love with after being released from the curse. But, in order to keep Akito from being lonely, he wants to stay by her side and pretend to be a member of the Zodiac, disclosing Akito’s true identity as a woman to Tohru in the process. He tells Tohru that Shigure, Hatori, Ayame, and himself were the only four people who knew Akito’s true gender, as well as about Akito’s mother Ren and their feud. He then apologizes to Tohru for injuring her as well as Arisa, but insists on continuing on the path he has chosen.
Kureno joins Akito during a Sohma family gathering. Shigure confronts him there briefly, and Kureno is reminded of their phone conversation, during which Shigure recognized that he was free of the curse and that obeying Akito’s demands just made her more twisted. Despite the fact that Shigure has told Kureno that he despises him, Kureno decides to keep Akito company.
Who is the second person to break the Zodiac curse?
The Sohma curse, as previously established, was already breaking down owing to the passage of time. Even while Akito held a firm grip on the remaining Sohmas under the curse, it wasn’t enough to prevent everyone from being set free. Kureno was the first to be cursed, but Momiji and Hiro’s curses followed.
Momiji and Hiro were released from the curse considerably earlier than the rest of the zodiac members. However, the causes behind this remain unknown, so it’s unclear whether it broke the same way Kureno’s did or if anything else had a role.
What makes Akito so ruthless?
The god of the zodiac is Akito. As the God, Akito is abusive and brutal to everyone of the Chinese Zodiac for the most of the novel. She is extremely misogynistic and displays little to no trust or respect for other women, and she rarely expresses pity. This can be seen in her interactions with Kana, Tohru, Rin, and her mother, Ren. She appeared to be pretty composed at first in the story, but she is actually quite emotionally unstable. She also struck a bargain with Kyo Sohma, the cat.
They claimed that if Kyo defeated his competitor, Yuki Sohma, the rat, before graduating from high school, he would not be compelled to live in the secluded house like the cats before him. Kyo, on the other hand, would be sent to the secluded house if he was never able to vanquish Yuki. She grew enraged about Tohru Honda till towards the end of the manga as a result of her meddling in the Sohma’s lives. Akito, on the other hand, is highly insecure. Ren’s stinging remarks and treatment of her as a child had a profound effect on her thinking, and it can be observed that Akito is still terrified by her comments as an adult.
Akito has a nasty streak and has physically and mentally scarred many members of the Sohma family, yet she is the undisputed ruler of the Sohma clan, and none of the Zodiac members oppose her. At some time in the Zodiac’s life, Akito desires to compel them to live with her for the rest of their lives in a never-ending “banquet” within the Sohma property. She even claims to be the “Master of their (the Zodiac’s) Souls.”
Is it true that Shigure slept with Ren?
Ren, Shigure, Hatori, Ayame, and Kureno are all good friends. Shigure once slept with Ren to avoid having to return to Akito and sleep with Kureno. This enraged Akito, who screamed at him at a meeting between the Sohma and Mitsuru. Shigure claims he only slept with Ren because she resembles Akito’s appearance if she had been raised regularly.
What happens to Kisa Sohma in the end?
Kisa has been great friends with Hiro Sohma since childhood, and the two used to spend a lot of time together playing and hanging out. Hiro eventually fell in love with Kisa and told the leader of the Sohma family, Akito Sohma, about his emotions. In reaction, Akito became upset and assaulted Kisa, leaving her in the hospital for two weeks to recover. Kisa was inconsolably upset, unable to comprehend why Akito had harmed her.
Kisa was teased a lot in middle school because of her golden hair and eyes, which her friends thought were unnatural. Everyone eventually began to ignore Kisa, however they still managed to notice her whenever she said something and would laugh at her for everything she said. Kisa sought to reach out to Hiro at this period, but Hiro began ignoring her, guilt-ridden from his actions and terrified that Akito would assault her again if he spent time with her. Kisa shut her capacity to talk once her class began to ignore her as well. Her words were there, Hatori Sohma remarked, but she mentally turned them off.
Is Tohru considered a Zodiac God?
- Takaya chose Tohru a name reserved for men because she loves to “balance” female characters by giving them masculine names. Furthermore, Takaya requested that other characters address her as “Tohru-kun,” a boy’s honorific, because she believed it was “a more respectable way of address.”
- Tohru symbolizes God in the original zodiac mythology (which started the Sohma curse), yet in many ways, he is the polar opposite of Akito, who is cursed by God’s spirit in the zodiac.
- Tohru was lonely until he was invited to live with the rat, dog, and cat, which God had sent forth.
- Tohru didn’t go out of her way to find the rest of the zodiac; they all came to her in some way; only those who were invited by God came to see her.
- The zodiacs planned all of the events in order to have fun with Tohru; God invited the zodiac to banquets.
- After the original God and Akito had rejected the cat, Tohru adopted and cherished him.
- The most significant difference between Tohru and the current God, Akito, is that Tohru welcomes and helps the zodiac through their difficulties regardless of the agony it causes her, but Akito is afraid of being alone and mentally abuses the zodiac to make them obey her.
- Tohru and Akito had one thing in common: they were both obsessed with the memories of a deceased parent. Tohru used her mother’s memories to propel her onward and serve others, whereas Akito clung to her father’s notion that she was only exceptional and cherished because she was the God of the zodiac, resulting in the cursed Sohmas’ mental and physical torture.
- Yui Horie, who also portrayed Yuki Cross in the Vampire Knight series, Millefiori Firianno Biscotti in Dog Days, Koudelka Iasant in Koudelka and Tsurara Oikawa in Nura: Rise of the Yokai Clan series, and Wiz in Konosuba, was her first Japanese voice actress.
