Either way, this article will help you help remember the best moments of this character in the anime. Quotes are a great way to remember important events or reminisce about a character’s best moments. But first, let’s take a look at a brief character description.
Ayame Sohma is a recurring character in the Fruits Basket series and one of the main protagonists in Fruits Basket: The Three Musketeers Arc. He is also the older brother of Yuki Sohma and he is ten years older than him. Ayame Sohma has the spirit of the snake from the Chinese zodiac. He is one of the oldest members of the Sohma family. He is best friends with Hatori Sohma and Shigure Sohma. And the Mabudachi Trio is made up of the three of them. Ayame, unlike his brother, is a vivacious, flamboyant, confident, and self-centered individual.
What does his character do in the anime?
Ayame tries to win Yuki’s affection throughout the series because he realizes his mistake of ignoring Yuki and denying him any support during their childhood. Yuki steadily acknowledges Ayame as a brother and even seeks to understand him as the series progresses.
With the help of Mine Kuramae, his seamstress and lover, he runs a shop named after himself that sells custom-made “romantic costumes” such as flouncy dresses and maid costumes. Ayame is a tall and slender young man. He has silver-grey hair that is long and straight and gold eyes. He frequently wears flamboyant outfits, the majority of which he designs, tries on and then sells to his customers. His casual attire, like Yuki’s, appears to be of Chinese design. Just as a snake, he is long, thin, and white in color.
What is Fruits Basket anime about?
Tohru Honda is a 16-year-old high school girl and an orphan. She moves in with her grandfather after her mother is killed in an unfortunate accident. But she is unable to stay with her grandfather any longer due to his home being renovated. Tohru starts living in a tent in the woods, claiming she will find someone to stay with, but fearing the criticism of her family and not wanting to burden any of her friends, she does so.
On her way home from work one night, she discovers her tent buried beneath a landslide. Yuki Sohma also known as the prince of her school and his cousin Shigure Sohma who is also a famous author discovers Tohru’s unfortunate situation. They invite Tohru to stay with them until her grandfather’s home renovations are completed.
Tohru discovers the family’s secret after living with them. If the members of the Sohma family are hugged by an opposite gender outside of the family, then they transform into one of the animals of the Chinese Zodiac. This strange occurrence, however, is no laughing matter, rather, it is a terrible curse with a long and dark history. The anime follows the adventure of Tohru Honda who is a kind-hearted girl and the members of the Sohma family and their secret. She meets more members of the family and we get to see the unique stories of each member.
This anime takes you on a rollercoaster of emotions. It will make you laugh, cry, and sometimes do both at the same time. Seeing the characters grow so much will make you happy and smile.

However, in today’s post, we’ll look at some Ayame Sohma quotes from the anime and reminisce a little about him.
Best Ayame Sohma Quotes from Fruits Basket Anime.
9) “You’d better not have cheated on me during our time apart, Gure-san.”
This is one of the first Ayame Sohma quotes we’ve seen. It’s also Ayame’s first appearance. This quote describes Ayame and Shigure’s friendly romance. When they’re together, they both say these cheesy lines, which are always entertaining to watch.
“You’d better not have cheated on me during our time apart, Gure-san,” Ayame says in this quote. “No man would do such a thing while he had you in his life, A-ya,” Shigure responds. Then they both exclaim, “Great,” as if they’ve practiced this and it went off without a hitch. Anyway, the anime has a lot of moments like this, and it’s hilarious to watch.
8) “Yuki! My brother Yuki, is tearfully begging to come visit my shop!”
Yuki finally says “yes” after numerous requests to visit Ayame’s store. This makes Ayame ecstatic, and he burps nonsense as a way of expressing his joy. It demonstrates how odd and amusing his character is. This is, however, one of Ayame’s ways to get closer to Yuki.
7) “Too many to name them all, but all men let their dreams run wild and yearn for that romance. There’s no sin in letting dreams run wild while keeping one foot in reality.”
Another oddity of Ayame’s is how strange he is when it comes to romance. Whether it’s a romantic relationship between brothers, best friends, or lovers. He exaggerates every one of them. This makes him a little annoying and amusing to watch.
When Yuki has visited his shop with Tohru, Ayame teases them being a couple and teaches Yuki the way of romance. He again spurts nonsense and be weird about it. After all, that is what his character is all about.
6) “I’m sure… I have qualities you don’t, and you have qualities I don’t. We were born that way. I think that the weakness… And the kindness… That you have… Are very… PRECIOUS.”
Ayame has tried numerous times to win Yuki’s favor. He seized every opportunity he was given. Ayame adores him and desires to make amends with him. He compliments Yuki in this quote by saying nice things about him. Ayame wants Yuki to know that he is there now and that he will assist him in any way he can.
5)”I don’t know what our parents will say. But what’s most important really is your feelings. It’s all right. You are not a tool. If someone like me… Can have someone who is there for me… Then surely a good kid like you… Isn’t as alone… As you think you are.”
Ayame helps Yuki overcome his low self-esteem once more. The curse on the Sohma family makes them feel isolated. However, Ayame consoles Yuki by saying that if someone like him can have someone, then Yuki is not alone. This is one of the best quotes from Aymae Sohma because it shows that Ayame is always there for him now. He wants to be a big brother.
4) “I was cruel… Insensitive to your pain. The first and only time you came to me for help, you reached out to me with those trembling hands. And I just brushed you off. It’s not as if I’ve forgotten.”
It just goes to show how cruel he was to his younger brother and how much he now regrets it. It was only right that we see Yuki truly hate him right at the beginning of the series. Because his only family is full of people who make him feel bad. And the older brother was merely a spectator.
He claims, however, that he has not forgotten his misdemeanors. And despite whatever happened during their childhood, he wants Yuki to know. Even if Yuki despises him now, he will go to any length to make amends without seeking forgiveness.
3) “I thought he’d been depressed recently… So I came to see you… Or rather, to check on Yuki. But I found him so cheerful. To be honest, I was disappointed. I thought I might get a chance to be more of a big brother to him.”
Ayame’s goal, as I stated repeatedly in this article, was to win Yuki’s love. He’s seizing every opportunity to win him over. Ayame is so self-centered that he even wants his brother to be sad so he can console him. Selfish, but with a good heart. He wants to get close to Yuki at any point.
2) “Strangely enough, when you get older… The things you didn’t understand when you were a child… Start to make sense. “When this happened I should have done THAT.” “When THAT happened I should have said THIS.”…those types of things. You start to UNDERSTAND rather than REGRET.”
Aren’t these the most relatable quotes by Ayame Sohma? Things we wish had done. It’s definitely true that we think about the things that we should have done or things we should have said are not regrets. We start to understand the way of the good life. The older we get the more experience we get about life. And we learn from the mistakes we made in the past. So, in my opinion, we can only make amends for the things we have done in the past and learn from them.
This quote from Ayame Sohma describes how mean he’s been to the others around him, especially his own brother. We also see him try to make amends for the things.
1) “Mine… I was born to love you. I can finally say that.”
One of the most difficult things for the Shouma family’s cursed members is not being able to confess their love to the person they love. The reason for this is the curse of becoming one of the Chinese Zodiac’s animals. This is a very painful situation for the Shouma family members. Consider this: you’re in love with someone, and that person loves you back. However, you will never be able to get close to the person you love. You are unable to touch, hug, or express your love in any physical form. Isn’t that something you don’t want to happen?
Fortunately, as the series progresses, the Sohma family’s curses begin to break. One of the best parts of the anime is watching Sohma members confess their love. Just as soon as Ayame’s curse breaks, he confesses his love to Mine Kuramae his seamstress. This is one of the anime’s most anticipated scenes. This type of scene will make you cry.
