Who Is The Dragon Zodiac In Fruits Basket
Alright, Fruits Basket fans, let's talk about the elephant in the room. Or rather, the dragon in the room. Who is the dragon of the Zodiac?
We know all the main players. There's Yuki the rat, Kyo the cat, Tohru the oblivious angel. But the elusive dragon... Where are you?
The Obvious (But Wrong) Answers
Some people scream Hatori! He's the Sohma family doctor. He's got that mysterious aura. Dragon eyes, right?
Must Read
But hold your horses! Hatori is the seahorse. Close, but no magical cigar. He's stuck in a supporting role, forever cleaning up everyone else's messes.
Then there's the wild card: Akito. Ruler of the Zodiac. Cruel manipulator of hearts. Surely, they wield dragon-like power, right?
Nope. Akito is the God. The entire darn zodiac wheel revolves around them. So, not the dragon either.
My (Probably Wrong) Theory
Okay, so hear me out. What if... there isn't a dragon? Prepare for a hot take!
The Zodiac curse is messed up. Broken. Clearly, it's not working as intended. Kyo is proof enough with his cat spirit!
Maybe the dragon's spirit was too powerful. Too wild. Maybe it rejected the curse entirely and peaced out.
A Missing Piece
Consider this: the dragon is often associated with wisdom, power, and independence. Qualities not exactly running rampant in the cursed Sohma family.
They're all caught up in Akito's drama. They're burdened by tradition. Where's the soaring, untamed spirit of a dragon?
Maybe the dragon spirit saw the chaos coming. It said, "Nope, not my circus, not my monkeys." And booked a one-way ticket out of there.
Or...Is It Someone We Haven't Met Yet?
Fruits Basket has a knack for introducing new characters at unexpected times. Could a mysterious figure, somehow linked to the Sohma lineage, emerge later?
Imagine: An older character with dragon-like personality or even a child born outside the traditional zodiac setup. That would make for interesting plot!
Maybe the dragon spirit is lying dormant. Waiting for the right moment to reveal itself.
The Real Answer?
Honestly? I have no idea. Maybe Natsuki Takaya, the genius behind Fruits Basket, intentionally left the dragon out. A little bit of mystery is good for the soul!
Or maybe I'm just overthinking it. Possibly. Probably.
"The truth is, it's up for interpretation. And that's what makes Fruits Basket so amazing!"
So, who do you think the dragon is? Or do you agree with my wild theory that it doesn't exist? Let me know!
