Fai - Character Discussion
Smile_For_Me:
Well CLAMP did say TRC was going to be longer then X/1999, which is at 19 Volumes,
So Fai's past might, hopefully come up in Volumes 16-17? or maybe It will come in the recent chapters, he is starting to use his powers now, little by little.
Mimie:
Waahhhh!!!!!! B-but if x/1999 is only 19 volumes long...then that must mean....there are LESS chances of CLAMP actually showing Fai's past. I mean, they can actually show such things near the end of the manga???? Uwaaaa!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! @_@

omg...don't even go there lol
I think I'd have to attack someone if that happened. I'm desperate for Kuro to fins out abotu Fai's past, but only because I'm a steadfast KuroxFai shipper. :P

CLAMP revealing Fai's past is for sure going to happen. I have no doubts of that. It's just a matter of time. I feel like they're building it up so much that they're waiting to toss it on the fans when they least expect it. A very CLAMP move. ^_^
Did anyone notice how the Ashura from Fai's homeland looks more like Yasha than Ashura? I know Ashura's supposed to be a character whose gender is ambiguous, but they've always seemed to have more of a feminine touch to them. Although I could be wrong...
Anyways, back to Fai. Anyone ever wonder how much power Fai really has? In one of the earlier volumes (I forget which one) it's hinted at that the tatoo Fai gave to Yuuko served not as a source of his powers but as a limiter to his powers. Which makes me wonder several other things. Did Fai place that tatoo on himself? What happened to Fai that made him realize that he needed to keep control of his powers?
When Chi tells Fai that Ashura has awoken, I really don't think he'll return to Celes. That is the one place, his wish to Yuuko, that he does not wish to be. He gave up what was most precious in order to get that wish. I think the reason for Chi to warn him is that it seems like he expects Ashura to come after him. Once he knows that he can go all out offensive and perhaps we can see Fai use much of his magic. That's my theory anyways.
So many questions and theorys and we still have yet to even scratch the surface of this character. I love Fai most because he is truely one of those dark mysterious characters that you just can't help but love. For me that love was first sight. ^_^-

The Ashura of Fai's world isn't the androgynous Ashura that hangs out with Yasha from RG Veda, but rather that Ashura's father, who is dead before the story begins and is only shown in flashbacks. They share the same name, it's true (and unnecessarily confusing, but hey, that's CLAMP) but the Ashura in Shurano is not the same as the Ashura in Fai's world.
I agree with you, though, bearmoon-san. It's would be incredibly anti-climactic if Fai's past was never revealed. It would just be bad storytelling, structure-wise, and CLAMP's series' are usually very well-written. They understand the conventions of good storytelling, and you can't just hint away at something like that and then never reveal it. Plus, it would drive me insaaaaaaane!
The timing of Fai's past being revealed is probably going to be deliberate- it will probably affect the latest feather-quest in some way.
There's also a theory going around that Fai's marking only paid for the ability to traverse the worlds so that he could get away from Celes, and not actually to prevent him from returning. I have to admit, I'd love it if the group somehow ended up in Celes, real or otherwise. There have been quite a few splash-pages where various characters are pictured in settings that look extremely reminiscent of Celes (the cover of the Del Rey volume 9, for example- the same icicle things were in the background of that picture of Fai from the Japanese volume 4).
:surprised: Jeez, this is a long post...
