Hatori is the dragon.

Horse is not in the anime.

Ok, thank you! I was thinking that it was Akito...

I thought Akito was the dragon, too, until I saw the one where Hatori transforms (admittedly, he turns into a seahorse, rather than a Chinese dragon).

Akito's actual position in the Zodiac is apparently rather...odd.

I haven't read the manga, just heard things about it.

Kagura has a weird obession with Kyo, but I think she feels for him more out of pity then love.

Code: Select all

In one of the last episodes, she is talking about the Cat's 'true form' (and how Tohru doesn't - at that point - know) and says:

"How can you expect a girl who knows something like that to stop caring!!?"

Kyo spent his life being ostracised from the Sohmas, and Kagura does appear to be the one family member other than Kazuma who reaches out to him directly. In the anime at least, if he doesn't run from her, Kyo seems to tolerate Kagura. In the last episodes, there is a flashback to them as children.

I quite liked the anime as it was. I don't know if I'll start investing in the manga myself, I'll probably borrow it off people if I am able.

Question for those who have seen the whole series:

Code: Select all

 

The last episode:

Does the scene between Tohru and Akito happen in the manga? I am beginning to suspect that it doesn't having heard that the anime was created from what material the creators had at the time. I don't like the way they ended the anime. It was too neat and happy. You just can't get around a person like Akito that easily. The man is obsessive, dangerously so.

@Queen Kay: I was looking for summaries. And I'd like to know what character is the dragon, beacuse at one moment an hippocampus appears and I don't know if it is the symbol for the horse or for the dragon...
Oh....I get it now! The horse and rooster are both revealed in the manga.

MAJOR SPOILER!
I think this is a spoiler but just in case. Highlight:
Akito is not part of the zodiac. He represents the god at the banquet. The horse is in the manga known as Rin and she has a relationship with Hatsuharu. The rooster is in the manga known has Kureno and I think he has a relationship with Akito...

Donc je la refais en français, je cherche qui est le dragon dans la série... Y'a un hippocampe mais est-ce que ça représente le cheval ou le dragon? :lol:
De rien. L'hippocampe représente le dragon dans la série... il s'appelle Hatori. En Japonais, les hippocampes sont quelquefois appellés "dragons infantiles".

Le cheval et le coq ne sont pas dans la série, seulement le manga (Rin/Isuzu et Kureno).

De rien. Je trouve le manga incroyable, plus que la série, en fait. ^-^ Le manga continue aussi après la série. Il y a 14 ou 15 tomes en francais déja, je crois.
