3. Recap of Episode 21
Episode 21 titled, “There Was, Definitely” begins with Yuki lost in the track of his thoughts and we get to see a flashback of his childhood.
When he first met Akito, she told him that rats are the greatest zodiac sign of all and closest to god and that Akito and Yuki are very much alike.
She embraced Yuki and they used to spend a lot of time together and Yuki never questioned anything. He always wondered when he would be able to go home. Upon asking that question to his mother. She gives him a vague answer saying someday.
One day suddenly Akito starts behaving differently and she tells Yuki that he is useless and nobody cares about him. She also tells Yuki that his mother gave him to her as a toy to play with and everyone hates him. She then constantly used to tell Yuki all sorts of negative stuff which almost made him believe all the things Akito told him. Yuki eventually realized that none of the zodiac members ever talked with him in any of the gatherings.
In one of the family gatherings, Yuki meets the Cat for the first time. He heard the maids talk about how he’s never involved in anything and is standing outside the door. Yuki goes to see him and tries to talk to him. But Kyo gives him the cold shoulder and tells him to never speak to him. This makes Yuki upset and when he goes back to his mother before he could say anything, she slaps Yuki and asks him to go back inside.
In the next scene, we learn that Yuki didn’t have any friends in school either. He didn’t bother making any, as he did not wish to increase the number of people that already hate him. Upon trying to make friends in school only ended up in the revelation of his true identity. Because of which they had to erase those kids’ memories.
Yuki later discovered that he was sold to the family’s head. He heard the maids talking that his parents are living a lavish life after selling him and they offered him as a human sacrifice. Nobody ever came to visit Yuki since they were satisfied with the situation. In this episode we finally find out that Yuki always yearned to be with his family, being cared for by someone and to be someone people wouldn’t hate being around.
Yuki didn’t know why everyone hated him and he thinks that if he is gone from this world, at least a little bit of hatred would disappear and he ran away from home. He saw Tohru’s mom looking for her daughter crying. He noticed that there are parents that care a lot about their kids. Later he met with Tohru crying and he guided her back to her home and put his hat on her head and he is happy that he managed to reunite Tohru with her mother.
