Fruit basquet is a classic shojo tale starring the compassionate heroine Tohru Honda, who one day stumbles upon the lonely Sohma family and their supernatural secret. Several members of this family are cursed with the spirits of the animals of the Chinese zodiac and all are tied to their “god”, the head of the family Akito Sohma.
This curse is a heavy burden to carry, and some members of the zodiac have more strength than others to bear it, counting tsundere Kyo, the unofficial thirteenth member of the zodiac. A zodiac member can be strong in many ways while enduring this curse: he can use expert martial arts, emotional strength, mental fortitude, or even influence the family or the outside world.
10 Hiro Sohma just act tough
Young Hiro Sohma made a bad first impression when he met Tohru Honda, being a demanding and bratty boy who didn’t seem to get along with anyone, Sohma or not. He kept Tohru on her toes with his teasing and sharp-tongued antics, but deep down, he was also being hard on himself.
Hiro wanted so much to protect his Sohma partner, Kisa, but he wasn’t sure he had what it took, and that insecurity led him to lash out at the others. Hiro can be tough and even bully other kids, but he’s the one who’s the most scared. Fortunately, that changed for the better later.
9 Hatsuharu Sohma has her dark side
Hatsuharu is the ox of the Chinese zodiac, although he can also be compared to a generic cow with black and white fur, as his hair colors suggest. Overall, Hatsuharu has minimal influence in the Sohma family and isn’t terribly assertive, though he does have some physical strength to make up for it.
Hatsuharu sometimes gives into his darker half where he goes berserk like a total criminal. He will trash a classroom and recklessly challenge anyone who gets in his way; he can even take on Kyo, who has formal martial arts training.
8 Ayame Sohma runs a tailor shop
Among the Sohmas, the golden-eyed Ayame Sohma has limited influence and a rather weak reputation, but is one of the few Sohmas who knows most of Akito’s secrets, including his gender. However, Ayame is not the type to get deeply involved in family politics: he has other interests.
Ayame has more influence in the local business world, as she runs her own tailor shop with her assistant, Mine. They are both cosplay enthusiasts who can tailor any outfit for a client to perfection and Ayame clearly has some skill as a businessman. Few other Sohmas can match him in this field.
7 Kureno Sohma is close to Akito
Kureno Sohma ranks high in the Sohma family and is personally close to Akito herself. She has quite a bit of influence in the family and that is a form of strength. Akito trusts him a lot, even if her rooster spirit is gone, and the other Sohmas hold him in high regard as well.
Kureno also has a lot of maturity and charisma, further adding to his strength, and that was enough to impress Arisa Uotani. However, Kureno has limited experience with the outside world, which weakens him somewhat, and he apparently has no martial arts skills.
6 Kagura Sohma can throw a punch
The spirit of the boar lives in the cheerful Kagura Sohma, who trained at Kazuma’s dojo alongside her crush, Kyo. Kagura isn’t as dedicated to martial arts as Kyo, but she certainly is stronger than she looks and Kagura can send Kyo flying halfway through the house with a single punch. Kyo doesn’t even defend himself.
Kagura has a lot of melee strength, but Fruit basquet The characters need more than that. Kaguya has some emotional strength when it comes to falling in love with her, although she also has her fair share of insecurities that hold her back.
5 hatori sohma is the family doctor
Hatori Sohma, just like Ayame and Shigure, knows the secret that Akito is actually a young woman, not a man. But that’s not the only way Hatori stands out among the Sohmas. He is also a medical professional and family doctor and everyone counts on him for non-emergency medical issues.
Hatori is well-respected and fairly well-connected as the family’s no-nonsense doctor, and can actually hold back the scheming Shigure a bit and help keep the family stable. However, he has no physical combat skills and has his own emotional baggage to deal with.
4 Momiji Sohma is tougher than he looks
The cheerful Momiji Sohma is the rabbit of the zodiac; he is the type to say or do anything to make everyone else laugh and smile to brighten the mood. Momiji is terribly sad that his own mother has no memory of him anymore and his half-sister is a stranger to him, but it won’t bring him down.
Mentally, Momiji is much stronger than appearances suggest. He is able to find hope and joy in her life despite his circumstances and bravely stands up to Akito alongside Yuki, Kyo and Hatsuharu. In fact, she has more guts in front of Akito than any of them.
3 Yuki Sohma wants to emulate Tohru
The beloved kuudere Yuki Sohma is one of the core members of Fruit basket cast of characters; it is also a big problem in the Sohma family, as the rat is especially close to the god of the zodiac. Much is expected of Yuki, but she buckled under the pressure and suffered from impostor syndrome.
In recent years, Yuki began to turn things around. He is a good martial artist and is becoming more and more sure of who and what he is, despite everything. He also joined the student council and found the emotional strength to become romantically involved with Machi Kuragi.
two Kyo Sohma fought against fate
Kyo Sohma embodies the spirit of the cat. By tradition, the shunned house cat of the zodiac is an outcast in the family and is supposed to be confined in a prison-like house all his life, but Kyo would not accept that terrible fate, even if Akito and his father insist. On it. .
Instead, Kyo found the strength and determination to fight this terrible fate and win his freedom. He also found the emotional strength to embrace Tohru Honda despite his differences and dedicate his whole life to her.
1 Shigure Sohma has no weaknesses
The zodiac dog lives in Shigure Sohma, who has relatively little personal baggage. In fact, this robed author is more likely to cause baggage and personal problems than to have his own and can take on Akito with ease. Akito’s verbal abuse just bounces back on him and he is able to give the best he can.
Shigure is also a homeowner and a fairly successful author, which only adds to his strength in the story of Fruit basquet. While he can act goofy, he has great emotional stability and strength; no one can disturb or manipulate it. At times, he seems invincible by Sohma’s standards.
