17화: 아리사의 친절과 새로운 우정을 통한 변화

Continuing from the previous episode, Tohru saved Arisa from getting beaten by her fellow gang members and took her back to her house. Gradually embracing the loving environment that she never had, Arisa would spend more time with Tohru and Kyoko. Others around them, however, thought Arisa constantly bullied Tohru due to their contrasting personalities. One night, however, Arisa decided to quit the gang, and was saved from nearly being killed when Kyoko rescued her at Akimoto's (the lone gang member sympathetic to Arisa) request. Kyoko then explained her theory of life that there are feelings that she does not understand until she gets hurt and make trouble, and when she hits rock bottom, then she will understand, and finally, she needs gentleness to feel the pain and not let this be for nothing. Arisa emotionally declares wanting to become Tohru's best friend. From that point on, Arisa and Tohru became best friends, eventually reaching 8th grade and befriending Saki, and hung out with each other before Kyoko's untimely death. Back to the present, a group of female delinquents attempt to threaten Arisa and pick a fight with her, but Arisa then taught one of those delinquents that there are other ways to show off. As the sun sets, even though Kyoko died, her words, feelings, and Tohru herself nourished Arisa to grow. The episode ends with Arisa happily cooking food and scolding her father for drinking more alcohol, contrasting the non-existent relationship prior to meeting Tohru. In a post-credits scene, two of the female delinquents tried to imitate Arisa as new appreciation of her, much to the third delinquent's discomfort. (Source: Wikipedia)
