As someone who also grew up with an abusive mother and a nonexistent father, I can personally say it took me a long time and a lot of good people in my life to help me realize that I didn't need them in my life. That I didn't have to "be nice and respectful because they gave me life". Momiji didn't really have that same support that me and a lot of other people had because of how his family is run.

Man, how old was I when I first saw this? Fruits Basket is one of the very first anime that I've ever watched. Many years later, this is still one of my most favorite scenes in all of anime. This show helped shape me into the kind of person I am now. Manga creators are so underrated. They're like your school counselor and your best friend rolled into one on top of being authors and illustrators. Everything you need to hear growing up and everything you need to remember as an adult, they can give you.

I don't like the fact that they changed the voice actress for Momiji. And she actually gave him a German accent. I loved the original actress who voiced him

And the part when momiji and tohru was talking about keeping all of their memories with them even painful memories was also sad so that one day those memories don't hurt anymore.

Ok I've just seen the Remake version of this, and it's still super great and prefer the music to the original in this scene. But what I still adore most about this scene, in particular, is the performances from the actresses and especially Baily just saying "Me too, I believe it too" while both just share a moment. It's just so much more impactful to me cause they both are just suffering in the moment and need to cry together. All this said I love both versions so much.

Momiji is right, the older you get the more that pain, it turns into memories that you're glad to have.

I have watched this series many times. But this scene never fails to make me cry. I can relate to Momiji on some level, and especially what he believes.

I think when the Zodiac members are babies, their animal forms are babies too. However, some baby animals can be deemed *ugly*. Momiji may look like a cute fuzzy rabbit now, but baby rabbits in particular actually look like ugly hairless mice. They do have a cuteness factor to them but the average woman would freak out if her baby was suddenly "replaced" by a rat-like creature without warning. Most of the Sohma family members are not aware of the zodiac curse, and there is no telling who would become the parents of one until it is too late. It's a big family, so telling every single person will risk getting the secret out. While it is understandably scary to give birth to a physically ugly animal, it is still not right for Momiji's mother to hate him for that. It's a shame that she actually is a nice woman who would treat even Momiji kindly, but would instantly reject someone for turning into an animal.

I cried so much when I first saw this and I still cry when I go back to watch it

Its this scene that's helped me get through some tough stuff... How much I wanted to forget. But like momoji I learned I wanted to keep the memory, and get stronger than it until I can grow stronger than the memory that hurts so much.

Can I cry now😭😭😭😭😭

I forgot the feels from the old version hit like a truck. I'll just be here in 2022 sobbing TToTT

This was one of my first animes and I swear I cry everytime ,especially now that I have a son and daughter ,the part that breaks me the most is when toru says "yes ,all my memories at precious to me,every single one" as momiji is running past his mom smiling makes me cry like a baby

The difference between momoji and his mom. Really touchy story.

One thing that bugs me this whole time about this...or maybe it got answered in the manga/remake. Did nobody in the Sohma family ever told their spouses (or future ones) that anyone marrying into the family could potentially have kids that turns into animals when you hug them!? I felt like Momiji's mum wouldn't have reacted this badly if she had known beforehand or had time to mentally prepare herself.

This animation reminds me of the old strawberry short cake. It’s so sentimental to me

5:18 The opening song that starts here is very moving.

it made me cry when i first saw it :(

The fuck? Who started cutting onions here

Nursing school taught me post partum depression/psychosis is real. this story is not far from reality. that fact alone wells up my eyes.

OMG....I try to watch this clip again thinking I'm an adult now, i shouldn't be crying...but darn I'm crying again

I cried at this one as well as the reboot one

I’m not crying 😭 my eyes are just watering

Aww I miss Momigi’s voice here. He’s so cute!!! He kind of looks like Towa from Yashahime. Anyways this scene made me cry.

When I started fruit basket I get bored in the beginning, but when momoji showed up with the stories I felt like he is the creator of this series. Most probably the writer is the momoji of this beautiful series.

i just love momiji

For me, Momiji could be the second most valuable character after Ayame in this anime. The first one wants to make amends for his brother's past mistakes, while Momiji wants to continue to love his mother. Even though his mother wants to forget Momiji, because Momiji is the one affected by the shio's curse It's really very touching. Good kid😭😔😢. Even though this is an animated cartoon, it really teaches us to be kind to our parents, especially mothers. Even though she forgot us. I really lost as a real person with a fictional character like this.

I cried my eyes out at the age of 6 watching this. Fruits basket changed my view on life

Im so touched

I absolutely love the English dub...and this part is so sweet..sad but kinda sweet :'< Momiji is so cute ^.^ LOVE HIM! Fruits Basket rules~

Memories? more like almost 8 minutes of *_P A I N_*

This always hits me, thinking about how your own mother forgets you or rejects you, that's really hurtful and painful, trying to move.

6:32 The scene is heartbreaking but this always gets me tearing up.

Momiji stay strong plsssss I'm crying 😭😭😭😭😭😭

It's easy to hate the mother, but you have to understand postnatal depression is a very real thing and it affects so many mothers of all areas of life. Unfortunately, unless they don't find treatment, this case does happen. For the story setting about an actual rabbit creature being born from you, and you can't tell anyone is absolutely something I can't fathom. That said I doubt she could have found treatment because of the situation.
