He then cast a spell that ensured that everyone in the meal would remain friends no matter how many times they were resurrected. Members of the Sohma family have been reborn as the thirteen animals or the God ever then. Akito is the God in the manga.
The spell’s purpose was to keep the animals together, but the God was so powerful that a rejection from God might physically and mentally harm the Zodiacs. With this, the family member who turned out to be God took advantage of the situation to abuse the other family members.
Kureno’s curse was the first to be broken. It happened ten years before the narrative began. The members of the Sohma family are aware that the curse is beginning to wane as a result of this. They assume that, like Kureno, their curse will fade with time, but something happened that caused the curse to shatter faster than they anticipated.
The Zodiac members built a deep bond with Tohru. She was also the one who accepted Kyo and loved the unloved. Another event that broke the curse was when a Zodiac member defied God or desired independence from Him.
Tohru and Akito formed a bond. With empathy, Tohru persuaded her and even offered her friendship. Akito then desired to demolish the Cat’s Room and free the remaining Zodiac members. She also stated that she does not wish to be a special God, but rather a regular young lady. The bonds were weakened and eventually shattered as a result of this.
To recap, Tohru simply by being herself broke the spell. With an open heart, Tohru formed relationships with the Zodiacs, which she strengthened through her care and affection for them.

The zodiac curse is broken in which episode?
God and the zodiac vanish in chapter 130 of the manga and episode 11 of the anime, titled “Goodbye.” God was overjoyed that the members of the zodiac had accompanied him for so long. All feasts, though, must come to an end. Nobody can see or hear him, yet he bid all of the zodiac members farewell. He implored with them all to cry with him, as if it were the first day of their lives. He thanked them for sticking with him for so long and pondered when the promise had turned into a curse. And then God left the world, bringing the endless banquet to a close.
How did the astrological curse end?
Tohru’s mother died in a car accident a few months before the series begins, leaving her an orphan in the care of her grandfather. She settles into an atent on land that turns out to belong to the Sohmas when his house needs remodeling. Shigure persuades her to come in with him and Yuki as cleaner in exchange for bed and board when her tent is buried in a landslide during a downpour. Kyo Sohma appears to challenge Yuki to a battle as she settles down. Tohru mistakenly embraces him, transforming him into a cat, and when she runs into Yuki and Shigure, they convert into a Rat and a Dog, respectively, in the confusion. The Sohmas explain that their family is cursed and that they are possessed by spirits from the Chinese zodiac, as well as a cat who, according to mythology, would have been included if the Rat hadn’t fooled it into missing the induction feast (see Zodiac origin stories). Tohru agrees to preserve their secret under pain of having her memories of them eraseda deal struck by Akito Sohma, the family’s enigmatic chief, who also orders Kyo to live with Shigure.
Tohru quickly becomes friends with the three Sohmas, particularly her classmates Yuki and Kyo, whom she hopes would become friends as well, and they are gradually touched by her presence. Tohru’s desire that if her memory is erased, he remain her friend, which no one had ever asked him before, moves Yuki deeply. Kyo appears to despise Tohru at first, but he, like Yuki, is “attracted” to her soft manner and compassionate heart. His difficulty to verbalize his sentiments, on the other hand, leads to frequent impulsive furious comments to Tohru, for which he typically apologizes. Tohru gradually meets the other cursed members of the Sohma family and is able to help Hatori, Ayame, Kisa, Hiro, and Ritsu by her kindness and sympathy. Yuki is helped to overcome his own self-doubts and accept his role as president of the student council by the fact that he recognizes Kisa as the lost little girl he had guided home, an act that demonstrated to him that he was not as undesired by others as Akito said. After his foster-father Kazuma Sohma compels him to display the horrific “real form” of his curse, Tohru gets particularly close to Kyo; despite his initial repulsion, Tohru stays with him even after he violently tries to throw her away. Yuki and Kyo both fall in love with her, but neither of them tells her.
Tohru becomes increasingly distressed as she learns more about the zodiac curse’s cost to her friends, particularly Momiji Sohma’s separation from his younger sister, Momo, who is unaware (but suspects) that they are siblings, and her friend Arisa’s longing for Kureno Sohma, who is unable to see her because he is bound to Akito. She resolves to reverse the curse after learning that the feared Akito is the “god” of the zodiac and of the bet he made with Kyo, which might result in the cat being imprisoned for life. Tohru enlists the assistance of Kazuma, Rin, and Kureno. Despite failures and warnings from Rin, who is also trying to remove the curse in order to liberate Hatsuharu, Tohru persists in her quest. Shigure, who is using Tohru to weaken the curse for his own motives, finally gives her support and hints.
Meanwhile, Tohru’s feelings for Kyo grow stronger, and she acknowledges that he is the Sohma she most wants to be freed because she loves him. This, on the other hand, distresses her even more, as she believes she is betraying her mother’s memories. When Tohru finally confesses to Kyo, he says he knew her mother as a child and that he could have stopped Kyoko from the car that killed her if it hadn’t exposed his curse and Kyoko’s final words, “I won’t forgive you!” (It was later discovered that she meant “I won’t forgive you if you don’t look after Tohru!”) Tohru, on the other hand, does not believe her mother would say such a thing, and if she did, she would have to disagree because she loves him. He can’t accept Tohru’s sentiments because of his guilt, so he claims her love is an illusion and flees. As she pursues him, she encounters Akito, who feels that Tohru’s love and acceptance of the cursed zodiac members has caused them to be disloyal to her, so weakening their “connection” to the point where Momiji and Hiro have been liberated from the curse. However, as she confronts her fiercely, Tohru realizes that she, too, is caught by the past, clinging to her mother’s memory, and she extends her hand in friendliness to Akito, introducing herself as a fresh start. Tohru, however, falls over a neighboring cliff as the ground collapses in the rain, before Akito can accept. Kyo realizes how much he cherishes Tohru as a result of the accident, and Akito is finally able to break free from the roles she has played for much of her life.
Tohru survives the fall and is admitted to the hospital. As she recovers, Akito welcomes Tohru’s friendship and accepts herself for who she is, rather than the deity she believes her father wanted her to be, and for the woman she was born to be, rather than the man she was raised to be. Meanwhile, Yuki persuades Kyo to reunite with Tohru once she is released from the hospital. Yuki has learned that what he wants from Tohru is unconditional “motherly” love, not the affection of a woman. Tohru, on the other hand, dashes away when she sees Kyo because she feels rejected, but Kyo pursues her. Kyo professes his feelings for her after catching up with her. The zodiac curse is broken, and all the Sohmas are set free, thanks to the cat, the god of the zodiac’s first buddy. In the final chapter, she and Kyo are shown packing to relocate to another city so that he can continue his martial arts study and eventually inherit Kazuma’s dojo, and it is revealed that they married and had a son and a granddaughter in the final pages.
Momiji’s curse was broken in a unique way.
He was reared by servants and lives alone within the Sohma family complex. His mother was revolted when she first learnt of the zodiac curse when she first held him, shortly after he was born; she later had Hatori delete her memory that Momiji is her son. Her feelings for him were so abrasive and unpredictable that just seeing him might send her into a frenzy. Finally, she pleaded with Hatori to wipe her memories, saying that her greatest regret in life was “that thing coming out of my body.” Momo, his younger sister, is ignorant that he is her elder brother, despite her fascination in him and her decision to take violin lessons because he plays the violin.
Momiji, despite his background, is perceptive of others and emotionally powerful. His curse is broken before the rest of the zodiac in Chapter 115, and despite Akito’s pleadings and threats, he decides to leave him one day. Despite his curse, Momiji warms up to Tohru instantly, kissing her when they first meet and cuddling her when they are properly introduced. He assists Tohru in her nighttime job as an office cleaner in one of his father’s buildings on occasion, and once filled in for her when she was unwell with a cold. He adores Tohru and will go to any length to defend her, even if it means defying Akito.
Momiji tells Hatsuharu and Rin in the final chapter that he hopes to find a woman as wonderful as Tohru if Kyo does not act on his affections for her.
Kureno’s curse was broken in a unique way.
Kureno and Arisa rejoin in town ten days later, and they recognize each other from the day at the convenience store. Kureno offers Arisa lunch to catch up, and she accepts, expressing her desire for tororo soba. They learn more about one other during lunch, and Kureno admits that he doesn’t get out often; in fact, the first time he met Arisa was also the first time he went to a convenience shop. In relation to this, he notes that he lives his life in a certain manner and that he doesn’t do “unnecessary” things like going for walks or shopping very often. Arisa inquires if he is actually content, to which he responds that he is.
Arisa is enraged by this since, while she had hoped to see him and was overjoyed when she was able to, he just saw their time together as “unnecessary.” Kureno follows her out the door and hastily apologizes for saying something so harsh. He adds that he, too, wished to see her again and that spending time with her made him happy. Kureno gives Arisa a sincere smile as she chuckles. He leans in as if to kiss her, but he leaves her hanging, puzzled and perplexed. Later, Kureno is shown heading into Akito Sohma’s chamber, where she asks him whether he feels uneasy “outside.” Kureno returns Akito’s side while reflecting on how he had wished to keep Arisa by his side forever and regrets that he may now have to forget about her.
During the summer, Akito takes Kureno to the Sohma beach house, where the majority of the other Cursed Sohmas and Tohru were vacationing. Yuki Sohma is taken aback when he sees Kureno near the ocean and by Akito’s side. Shigure, too, expresses his surprise that Akito brought Kureno along. Kureno can only look away when Akito confronts Yuki about his insecurities. Kureno stays at Akito’s side for the rest of the holiday, however Akito isolates Kureno by not allowing him to see the other Zodiac members or attend the Zodiac reunions. Kureno complies without hesitation.
Kureno informs Akito that she had gotten a call from the main home one night. Akito implies that her mother, Ren, has caused a commotion at home, and Kureno tells her to return home to sort things out. Akito, on the other hand, dashes out to the Sohma’s beach house to “meet” Tohru, but ends up telling her the truth about the curse. When Kureno comes up to her, Akito introduces Tohru as the Rooster, and Kureno meets her graciously. Kureno then accompanies Akito back to his house, leaving everyone else at the beach house.
Tohru begins on a secret search for Kureno Sohma after learning from Arisa that the man she has a crush on is named Kureno Sohma. She enters the Sohma “inside” and finds Kureno in his office, and when she is about to be discovered by Ren, Kureno saves the day and takes Tohru’s place. Tohru asks him whether he knows Arisa, which strikes a chord with Kureno, and he drags her out of the property. He informs her, though, that he has no plans to meet her again. Kureno is unable to respond when Tohru asks if it’s because he’s one of the Zodiacs. Tohru, on the other hand, swiftly offers him Arisa’s contact information, and Kureno laughs at her sincerity and persistence in her acts, so he chooses to safely let Tohru go.
Momiji decides to copy the recorded play to DVD and present it to Kureno after Arisa’s class has a play. Momiji hurriedly hands the DVD to Kureno during the annual Zodiac Banquet on New Year’s Eve. Kureno watches the play on his own the next day, after nervously agreeing to stay by Akito’s side forever and sleep with her. He is taken aback and reminded of how lonely he is when he sees Arisa break out of her role and shout out in rage because she wanted Kureno to see her. Even though he appears to want to meet Arisa, he is haunted by a memory in which Akito begs him not to abandon her. As a result, Kureno dials Shigure’s number and informs him that he has something to discuss.
He then encounters Tohru accidently on her part, and she is taken aback when she notices that all the birds have flown away from him. He hugs Tohru and tells her that his curse was broken when he was her age – and that “he can’t fly anymore.” He then gives Tohru the DVD, explaining that her gift was “wasted” and that, despite being free of the curse, he will never see Arisa again and will always be by Akito’s side. Despite the fact that he dismisses his two encounters with Arisa as insignificant, he quickly breaks down in tears and realizes that he really does want to see her, as she was the first woman he fell in love with after being released from the curse. But, in order to keep Akito from being lonely, he wants to stay by her side and pretend to be a member of the Zodiac, disclosing Akito’s true identity as a woman to Tohru in the process. He tells Tohru that Shigure, Hatori, Ayame, and himself were the only four people who knew Akito’s true gender, as well as about Akito’s mother Ren and their feud. He then apologizes to Tohru for injuring her as well as Arisa, but insists on continuing on the path he has chosen.
Kureno joins Akito during a Sohma family gathering. Shigure confronts him there briefly, and Kureno is reminded of their phone conversation, during which Shigure recognized that he was free of the curse and that obeying Akito’s demands just made her more twisted. Despite the fact that Shigure has told Kureno that he despises him, Kureno decides to keep Akito company.
What happens to Kisa Sohma in the end?
Kisa has been great friends with Hiro Sohma since childhood, and the two used to spend a lot of time together playing and hanging out. Hiro eventually fell in love with Kisa and told the leader of the Sohma family, Akito Sohma, about his emotions. In reaction, Akito became upset and assaulted Kisa, leaving her in the hospital for two weeks to recover. Kisa was inconsolably upset, unable to comprehend why Akito had harmed her.
Kisa was teased a lot in middle school because of her golden hair and eyes, which her friends thought were unnatural. Everyone eventually began to ignore Kisa, however they still managed to notice her whenever she said something and would laugh at her for everything she said. Kisa sought to reach out to Hiro at this period, but Hiro began ignoring her, guilt-ridden from his actions and terrified that Akito would assault her again if he spent time with her. Kisa shut her capacity to talk once her class began to ignore her as well. Her words were there, Hatori Sohma remarked, but she mentally turned them off.
What makes Akito so ruthless?
The god of the zodiac is Akito. As the God, Akito is abusive and brutal to everyone of the Chinese Zodiac for the most of the novel. She is extremely misogynistic and displays little to no trust or respect for other women, and she rarely expresses pity. This can be seen in her interactions with Kana, Tohru, Rin, and her mother, Ren. She appeared to be pretty composed at first in the story, but she is actually quite emotionally unstable. She also struck a bargain with Kyo Sohma, the cat.
They claimed that if Kyo defeated his competitor, Yuki Sohma, the rat, before graduating from high school, he would not be compelled to live in the secluded house like the cats before him. Kyo, on the other hand, would be sent to the secluded house if he was never able to vanquish Yuki. She grew enraged about Tohru Honda till towards the end of the manga as a result of her meddling in the Sohma’s lives. Akito, on the other hand, is highly insecure. Ren’s stinging remarks and treatment of her as a child had a profound effect on her thinking, and it can be observed that Akito is still terrified by her comments as an adult.
Akito has a nasty streak and has physically and mentally scarred many members of the Sohma family, yet she is the undisputed ruler of the Sohma clan, and none of the Zodiac members oppose her. At some time in the Zodiac’s life, Akito desires to compel them to live with her for the rest of their lives in a never-ending “banquet” within the Sohma property. She even claims to be the “Master of their (the Zodiac’s) Souls.”
What happens to Kagura Sohma?
Kagura has an obsessive, childlike love for Kyo and believes she will marry him because they are both Zodiacs and Kagura is aware of his actual form. She declares herself to be his fiance and is open and honest about her love for Kyo. She expresses her love as openly as she can, but Kyo rejects all of her advances, is scared of her, and flees at the sight of her due to her pushy, clinging, and physically abusive demeanor. Kagura is enraged by this, and she spends the most of her time attempting to get Kyo to love her in return.
Kagura pitied Kyo and looked down on him when they first met, and she used the fact that he was Cat to make herself feel better about herself. Kagura was disgusted by her own acts when she saw Kyo’s true appearance and fled from him; her shame and desire to forget about the occurrence and her former personality led her to tell herself that she loved him. She also believed that by accepting “Kyo the monster,” she would be able to transform into a lovely person and forget about the harsh, immature youngster she had been previously. She also understands that, while her love for Kyo was initially motivated by pity, as she got to know him better, she grew to like him and became serious about pursuing him. She still recognizes that her previous behaviors were egotistical, but she is content with being able to admit that she genuinely loves him. Despite his inability to accept her affection, Kyo expresses gratitude to her for both playing with him as a child and for adoring him.
Following this, Kagura abandons her pursuit of Kyo and even encourages Tohru that she should confess to Kyo instead of Rin. Even though she is annoyed by the current circumstance and the fact that Kyo has started dating Tohru, Kagura sincerely wishes the two of them happiness, even if she does not show it. Similarly, Kyo has warmed up to her and no longer feels the need to flee or avoid her, and is able to engage in conversation with her and grin at her.
