Fruits Basket The Final: Arisa Uotani
Arisa is a former gang member (a "yankee"; a Japanese version of the American "gangster thug" image) and has been one of Tohru's closest friends since Tohru's mother helped her escape from the gang (called "The Ladies") when she wanted to leave it. Arisa is tough, brash, and sometimes violent but cries easily when it comes to her friends. She wears long skirts, carries a lead pipe, and often speaks like a man (in Japanese, different word choices can categorize a speaker as male or female). Arisa likes to play cards, protect Tohru from Yuki's fangirls, and swim. Her "convoluted" personality stems from home problems early in her life, when her mother left Arisa and her father for another man; her father became an alcoholic after his rejection. This caused Arisa to become harsh and jaded in her views of the world until she met the kind Tohru and her mother, Kyoko. With her overprotective and rather "parental" protection of Tohru with Hana-chan, she comes off as the brash and direct "father" figure.

She's one of the best!
ReplyDeleteUnfortunately, she didn't have any good close-up ones like on the old version.
DeleteBecause that old Daichi "close-up" was actually from a filler episode.
DeleteI love how she doesn't wear socks and lets her heels flatten the backs of her school slippers. As well as the deep purple nail polish💜
ReplyDeleteYep, like Kyo, Arisa doesn't seem to care for slippers or socks, and has no problem being in any indoor setting in her bare feet. 👣😀👣
DeleteThat's often a thing with delinquents/yankee to wear school shoes like indoor slippers, not wear socks, dying hair, girls wearing longer skirts or boys wearing wrong colors. As a show of rebellion in defying school dress codes.
DeleteTrue. And I have a feeling she's probably done it ever since she was a little girl, and got very comfortable going barefoot indoors. The one way you can tell she's gotten much softer and feminine from her former hardcore personality is the purple nail polish on her toes. To me, that shows she likes to make them pretty, and show them off.
DeleteWell japanese do tend to spend most of their lives barefoot indoors, more than most advanced civilizations. Like Utena, she came of age and started addressing her more feminine needs. Only read up to the family reunion part in the manga years ago, can't remember if there was someone she was attracted to in the later story.
