D8 HE PUT FAI DOWN *mock outrage* XD It was a bit wtf that Fai was randomly lying on a rock at the end, but that's not really the point.
Subaru + Kamui + Fuuma interaction is good~ And Sakura being all independant is good too (albeit less interesting - no, actually, it's awesome she's finally getting to do something. *nods*), and the second-to-last page with Kuro!Daddy and uh.. Daughter!Sakura was sweet ='D
*looks forward to the translation to find out what theyre saying*

Fuuma sorta molests Kamui, yay.

Sigh. Looks like the spoilers were true. Oh well. I guess Sakura needed something to do. And she got a cute new outfit. Hopefully Clamp flashes back to the group so we can see how they're getting along while Sakura's off doing whatever. I wonder if Sakura doing this pays for the water, or will just ensure that the water is clean? Because Kurogane just wished for water, not CLEAN water, so it follows that he'll still have to pay. But it looks like his price hasn't been revealed yet either, or else, y'know, he'd probably say something other than whatever it was he said to Sakura at the end. (I'm guessing some kind of 'take care of yourself' message)

What the frig is Fai laying on? A rock? Lolz.

Oh my god, I don't think ANYTHING is quite as awesome as the expression on Kamui's face during the Fuuma glomp! He looks like he's thinking: "My GOD it's been YEARS since I've been forced into doing this and the minute I'm put into another manga, it happens AGAIN! GOD!" XD

Well, I'm happy. The only reason I started reading Tsubasa a bit over a year ago was waiting for some Kamui and Fuuma scenes. Now I've got a couple! XD And I'd say for stuff published in a shounen magazine, it's pretty darn good! XD

What's even better is right when Fuuma lets him go, he jumps over to Subaru in "protective" position again when Subaru is pretty much the one who just helped KAMUI by telling Fuuma to let go of him! XD Then, within ONE panel, Kamui's got his wimpy face all over again! It's JUST like X! YAY!!! XD

Anyway, Sakura sure got all X-esque, didn't she? XD As soon as she stuck that outfit on she started doing Kamui facial expressions! XD That's a bit.. OOC.. But alright! (Well, looking back, it's not all the time. But there's at least two panels where she is acting in a very Kamui-esque way...)

But, again no KuroFai ;___; (We've been totally spoiled by CLAMP lately, now we can't live without it... Ohmygawd, they make us dependant...)
Sakura looks great in her new outfit and though I really hoped to get away from there, I like the turn the story has now. She's finally growing up and doing something by herself. I'm glad she's finally being tough!
But - WTF was Fai lying on that ROCK?!

Awe, is everyone except for me sick of X Land? XD I wanna stay there FOREVER! XD I just want Seishirou to prance on in and we can have some F/K and S/S interactions, THEN we can go. But with this new Super Sakura thing, that isn't seeming very likely! I predict we'll be in X Land for at LEAST 5 more chapters.. I mean, there's a lot left to do, now that this Sakura thing has come up and with the possibility of Seishirou coming..

(And by F/K and S/S I meant "Fuuma/Kamui and Sei/Subaru..." Not "Fay/Kurogane and Syao/Sakura..." I just realized that was probably confusing!)

About Fuuma's weapon...
Show content
Is he a dowser? (I haven't read the title where he came from, so I'm not so sure if he used it before in that previous title. ^^; ) That weapon resembles the one used by Lyserg from Shaman King, who uses it for dowsing. ^^ The clear damond, the string, the way it is used, it really looks like it. :X It also resmebles the pendulum used in real life by people for pin pointing locations on maps too, though it isn't scientifically proven to be correct.

While it isn't a full out KuroxFai moment, on page 21 he is standing right next to Fai. So he's not leaving his side, even for a moment.  Very sweet!  =)

   As much as I would like to see them move on...I really like the fact that Sakura is going through some real character development here. It's almost like her awakening from the dream was a metaphor for her character awakening. Suddenly she has beome serious and determined.
  I also wonder, if perhaps, Clamp is trying to show that while C!S was a wonderful "knight in shining armor"...perhaps he was stifling Sakura's own desires and abilities to stand up for herself.  Or perhaps, it is his loss that caused her to really stand up.

  I haven't read or seen any of the X manga...so through TRC is the first I've seen of these characters.  While the way it plays out doesn't cause me to lose much in the current TRC arc...it makes me wonder how much of the nuances I'm loosing behind the characters and their interaction with each other.

  Bah!  I'll get the spoiler part right one of these tries!

Kamui/Fuuma!!!!!!!!  Yeay!  Oh, Clamp...even after all these years, you can still move a fangirls heart with a few pages of molestation!  And uber protective Subaru!  I don't think we've ever seen him THAT angry before!  And then, to make my weekly Tsubasa dosage complete, they dropped in Seishirou's NAME!  (and he's Seishirou-niisan...how cool is that!).  Looks like Seishirou has told his ototo all about his boyfriend, anyway!

As for the ACTUAL cast...

Sakura looks so cool!  I hope she gets some good development!  She deserves only the best.  And Kurogane acting all parental...aww!

Sakura's face, just before she turns to leave...I think that is the best she has looked all manga!  The seriousness is fantastic...and then the way she is striding off...

I don't think we have to worry about Sakura being boring...she has ME intrigued, anyway.

I LOVE Subaru's expression when Fuuma greet's Yuuko!  It's the best 'WTF' face Clamp have ever drawn!

And I think I'm gonna fangirl Sakura's new outfit some more...maybe after watching Fuuma molest Kamui again...just because it's been awhile!

Pfft, Fuuma molested Kamui.  He is indeed his X self, loves to torture him.  Except now Subaru stops the molesting.  Loved the wtf faces, so cute.  I'm glad Sakura's going to get some character development, she needs it.

Need to process the chapter now. :keke:

[edit] - Read translation.  So they are brothers, so the spoilers were true.  I love how Yuuko said that they were trouble makers, Fuuma says "that's just brother" and she says he is too.  Like a kid, I swear.  Subaru angry, only seen him with that face once in Tokyo Babylon, and the situation definately called for it.

Fun to see Sakura being tough(her new outfit was cool), and she looked so mature! That spoiler talk about Sakura going on a journey of some sort was true...No KuroFai this time though :(. Wow Fuuma is Seishiros brother, and seeing Subaru mad was suprising. The fight between Fuuma and Kamui reminded me much of X, maybe clamp misses X and thats why they stay so long in this world :D.

Show content
That pretty much sums it up! XD

I'm loving Fuuma in this chapter, his expressions are so sneaky.  Yep, he was possessed alright in X, yeah right.  This is his true nature, it was just supressed for the early part of X.  Kamui needs a wake up call there.

So Fuuma said that "Being a hunter, we are asked to find valuable things. Sometimes it's something we want as well. There are all sorts.".  This probably means that Seishirou is hunting Subaru for himself.  Subaru didn't look too happy to find out that Fuuma knew about him, he looked rather horrified.

I loved Kurogane telling Sakura to go because she wouldn't listen otherwise.  It's kinda like in Piffle, he understands that she is strong willed.  So, Sakura development next week.  There's no breaks this month, so all is well. :keke:

And when how Fuuma thanked Subaru for taking care of Seishiro..?? hehh..??does it mean Seishiro and Subaru ever in some kind relationship before they start travelling between world...XD...this will be interesting if Seishiro comes to this world..

ahhh...another X-moment, Fuuma 'tease' Kamui...^^..how I miss thatt...and SUbaru actually pretty scary too, I though KAmui is scarier...

I never thought of it in this way but it could be true, she had no need to stand up for herself when she had C!S.
All in all I agree with everyone who said Sakura looks the most beautiful in this chapter that she has ever been in Tsubasa - determined look suits her better than the dreamy-cute one. It just came to me now but at the moment purely by where all the characters are and how they have appeared in the chapters, Sakura would make a better pair with R!Syao, for Our!Syao was always (despite the selfless (obsessive) protectiveness) at the same time quite naive, as was the "old" Sakura.
Show content
Of the "awakening" of her (also mentioned here before) the line "Please tell me what happened up until now." gave a sign to me, she is taking initiative and control and responsiblity of knowing. It's always so easy to be oblivious, she chose otherwise this time.

Fai on the rock :D.

Since I have not read X, the dynamics do drift by me in a large degree in this chapter but I have picked up something from the latest chapter discussion threads to half-squee.

Ok, if Sakura is now off, there is time for the talk of  Yuuko, Kuro and R!S, all together or separately or whatever.

Yuuko's got that one-they left all their original clothes in Shura world.  Yuuko collected them for them and then teased them about it in Piffle.

Point one: Explanations are love. It makes more sense that the feather was brought to this world by Fuuma, rather than there having been...three feathers in this world or however many. And the Fuuma-Seishirou Kamui-Subaru brother pairs? That just rocks. Of course Subaru takes good care of 'niisan, Fuuma...And so, Fuuma and Sei-chan are just generic "hunters" of valuable, and Seishirou just happens *ahem* to be hunting vampire. Interesting - it reminds me of Hunter x Hunter, if anyone here knows that series.

Point two: Fuuma grabbing Kamui made me skip in circles for minute until I calmed down. Fuuma/Kamui OMG X fangirlness! *Feels spazzy* (But Subaru doing the freaky nail thing = O.o.)

Point three: Most important point - SAKURA! I just knew the girl had it in her. T-T She really went for it there - she knows she hasn't been able to be helpful, but she goes in to fix that. And her new outfit is wonderful and hot. I really want to see her get some time to prove herself - even though it means longer until the next world, I'm willing to wait it out to see what Sakura can do. I am so loving her right now.

Okay, now that thats out of my system.  I liked this chapter. It wasn't "WTFOMFGNOES" but it was interesting and well drawn.  I liked Sakura's outfit so much I swear to God it will haunt my inner artist.  Her determined look brings to mind our good ol' CCS Sakura.

I've never read X, but I found Kamui's reaction to Fuuma, and then Subaru's reaction to Fuuma's holding Kamui, wildly entertaining.  I've never been one for violent, angst filled stories (oh Tsubasa...you've strayed so far) but I might consider reading it.

Overall, I'm happy with this.  It was eventful, there was more pics of R!Syao, and Sakura got a hot outfit.

Beautiful chaptire! Much bettter than I had thought, and I'm soo happy for Sakura.
Sakura really isn't as ignorant as some people think she is. I wouldn't be the least bit surprised if she understood what was going on and felt responsible for it. Its her nature too, I guess. I agree that she did look similar to Kamui a bit in the end, which was odd, but at the same time, it gave her a more mature and determined feel that we haven't really seen in her before. I'm glad to see a greater independece in her and I'm glad to see her in that new outfit too! I certainly gained more respect for TRC Sakura in this chaptire. Hopefully, we will see her true potential soon. After all, if just her memories are that powerful....what can she really do?
With all of the X/1999 characters....*tears* There was a lot of good emotion in the art in this chaptire and Subaru was amazing! I'm guessing Fuuma is going to leave this world now, huh? Subaru and Kamui, too? I can't relaly think of reasons for them to stay. Was it ever really made clear as to what Fuuma was searching for? Was it the feather, and then he couldn't contact Yuko so he couldn't do what he needed to do with it or leave because of it? *shrugs*
Did anyone else really love the Mokona title page?! *blush*

Just noticed Subaru lost one of his gloves when he released his claws, there goes that reference.  For those who haven't read Tokyo Babylon, he wears gloves from the time he's 9 to 16...and of course it had to do with Sei-chan.  Bye-bye nostalgia. >_>

I hope that's right. Because Kuro should really pay for his own wish.

If it was something only Sakura could do, maybe that would be okay, though.  I mean, her helping out means she's PART of it, now.

And:

I agree.  I can't wait until some explaining comes from him.  He's said about...five lines this whole entire time.  Whoo.  The random background people (sorry X/whatever else they're from fans, that's what they are to me) say more than him.  I wanna know more about what he is and what he's after now.

I agree- Kurogane has to pay for his own wish.

Here's what I figure for the rundown of the wish situation, since it's confusing:

1- Kurogane wanted to save Fai's life. Subaru wanted water for the reservoir.

2- Yuuko says that it would be too expensive for Kurogane to wish to save Fai's life.

3- Yuuko then has Kurogane wish for the water.

4- Yuuko then tells Subaru to give his blood to Fai (for Kurogane's sake) to pay Kurogane for making Subaru's wish for him.

5- Kamui refuses to let Subaru give Fai his blood, and instead gives his own blood to Fai. Therefore, Subaru does not have to pay any price for the wish that was originally his. (Will Subaru then be in debt to Kamui?)

So Kurogane still owes for the water, since the water has been delivered. Unless Sakura is paying for the water, which doesn't make any sense.

Okay, think of this in a simpler, real-world term.
When you were a kid, let's say you want ice cream, but you don't have the money.
So...
You turn to your mommy/daddy (or both, who knows) and ask THEM for money.
Technically, you are the one who wants the ice cream, you should be paying for it, but someone else is doing it for you.

I think that concept applies to what Sakura is doing for Kurogane. As long as someone or something can afford to pay that price, it really shouldn't matter who does it.

I think Sakura could pay for the water by that logic, but since wishes are more personal thing than ice cream, I can see why people would think that that feels wrong.

Well, yeah, you do that when you're a kid. But... Sakura is not Kurogane's father. And Kurogane is fully capable of paying for the water or Yuuko wouldn't have told him to pay for the water. So why would he need to go to Sakura to pay for the wish? xd

And Kurogane is not giving Sakura anything for paying for the water, which he would have to do if she were paying for the water. The reason he has to pay for the water in the first place is because he made a deal with Subaru . This is all about Yuuko granting wishes for proper prices- everyone must pay the proper price for what they receive.

Edit: Think of it this way: Subaru wanted ice cream. Kurogane agreed to pay for Subaru's ice cream. In exchange, Subaru had to give Kurogane his manga. It does matter who pays for what- if someone pays the price for you, you owe them in return; it's not a free ride.

She said that there was something where Sakura was going that she wanted as payment, so Sakura can fix the water's treatment and also pay Yuuko.

Basically, I don't think Subaru cares who pays for the water, so long as the water is restored (otherwise he probably would have said something).  It isn't really fair to him (or Kamui for that matter), but if Yuuko is fine with it, then that's all that matters.  She is the one who provided the water afterall.

Also, Subaru shouldn't be in debt to Kamui for giving his blood, as it was Kamui's wish to take his place.  Kinda like how Fai's not in debt to Kurogane, it was the others wish, not theirs.

Ah, true, it was Kamui's wish not Subaru's. No, I don't think Subaru cares who pays for the water either. But the way it ended up everyone was pretty happy- Kurogane doesn't have to pay Yuuko directly for Fai's life, Subaru ensures the water gets there, and Kamui doesn't have to worry about more 'interferences' with Subaru.

So what Sakura then seems to be doing is getting the price for Kurogane, not paying Yuuko herself. So I guess Kurogane will owe her for getting the price for him, if that's what's happening. >< Jeez, I want a good translation.

Edit: somebody on LJ linked to a translation on TC.net. Here (http://www.tsubasachronicle.net/forums/showthread.php?t=2274)

Quote:
Yuuko: Well, about the price, Kurogane.

p.15
Kurogane: Finally you want something?
Syaoran: With that I'll...
Sakura: I'll do it.
Mokona: Sakura!

 p.19
Mokona: Are you really going alone?
Sakura: Yes.
Mokona: Yuuko! The rain in this country hurts a lot! There are very big creatures too. It's very dangerous to go alone.
Yuuko: That's why I asked her to bring me something from a place that only I have told her. That will be a payment.

Eh? >< God, I will really hate it if Kurogane doesn't have to pay a price. That would be dumb.

Sakura looks awesome when she's serious. I love the way she looks now and am just really glad that she's finally developing a lot!

For the first time, the spoilers were practically a 100% correct.

I'm still getting confused about the relationships in X and how they are linked to Tsubasa. I might need to reread X... how is it that Fuuma is actually Seishirou's brother? Or is it in Tsubasa, the relationships differ from X?

As for the price thing... I also think that it has come to it doesn't matter who pays the price, someone has to pay it. So Sakura had decided she'll pay for it... I think it's mostly because she feels responsible to what has happened and also probably cause she really wants to do something. (I still remember her in the Lecourt arc when she kept saying that she felt terrible that she couldn't help... I knew then that CLAMP was bound to make Sakura do something...)

The relations are completely different.  In X, Seishirou and Kamui have no siblings.  Subaru has a twin sister named Hokuto and Fuuma has a sister named Kotori.  Hokuto dies at the end of Tokyo Babylon and Kotori dies early in X.

I'd say Kamui and Subaru were more like brothers than Seishirou and Fuuma.  They did get along for the most part, enough to go on a eating spree together while Tokyo was being destroyed.  They're both rather twisted. :keke:

No, in X Fuuma wasn't Seishirou's brother. Their relationship was... weird. xd They were two evil bastards who had something resembling respect for each other, I guess you could say. They'd go and eat ice cream together after committing mass murder. <3 It totally makes sense that they're brothers in TRC though, lol.

True, true... I actually liked Kotori more than most fans seem too, and I was definitely one of those fans in denial about Kamui being Subaru's twin. ^^;

I guess it has a lot to do with the fact that... well, Hokuto was portrayed far more strongly than Kotori was. A lot of people forget that

Kotori purposely sacrificed herself for Kamui and Fuuma like Hokuto did for Seishirou and Subaru. They think of Kotori as being far more of a victim than Hokuto.
Hokuto was in all seven volumes of TB and she was very strong and she directed events; Kotori was proportionally in far less of X, and a lot of her purpose in X is 'zomg save Kotori!' and 'Poor Kotori's gone insane!'

Exactly, there wouldn't have been an X without her.  It's highly overlooked. 

Who knows, maybe Kotori and Hokuto are sisters off in some other world, that would be interesting (Kotori with a sibling that wouldn't let her be meek). Just as cracky as Fuuma and Seishirou being brothers. Although Hokuto needs to pop up and get with Kakyou, he needs some love.  XD

I wish you guys hadn't used ice cream as an example (since ice cream seems to be a euphemism for sex in the X fandom!).

That made me have giggle fits!  Just try replacing the word and see what you all sounded like!

I wonder where Kotori is too...but it would be so COOL if Kotori was Hokuto's sister.

Not as cool as Hokuto being the elder sister to Subaru AND Kamui (that would be so many kinds of awesome that I would lose count).  Imagine, she would have two little brothers to take care of, nag, clothe, set up with their respective seme...She would be the happiest person in the Tsubasa manga!

Kotori could always be Fuuma and Sei-niichan's little sister...actually, I think they would have killed her between them...just because they're good at killing sisters.

same here... Kuro letting Sakura embark upon a dangerous mission in his stead is very OOC for me...

  Not necesarily.  Kuro has often, in the past, let Syoaran off on his own to do dangerous things.  Like letting him fight Seishiro (sp?) on his own...and that was before he understood that it wasn't real and he was in a virtual world.

  He also hasn't had a lot of direct contact with Sakura. Sure, he watches over her...but he's primarily been involved with Fai and Syoaran.

  Also, he has Fai to think about.  For us, this has played out over weeks.  In their relative time, Fai's being hurt and dying anf then being saved is very fresh.  He also promised to look after Fai and is responsible for his life.  While that may or may not be permanent, depending on whether Fai gets his eye back, right now Fai NEEDS Kuro.

  There is no way Kuro could really leave Fai right now.  What if Fai woke up and needed blood right away?  Or What if he woke up and Kuro wasn't there and he tried to run away...or even kill himself?  His mental stability following what has happened is likely to be shaky.  No way Kuro would up and leave him to go on a quest right now.

  So really, I think it is in character.  But that's just me.  *shrugs*

I agree.  The other option would be to take Fai with him which would be both awkward and dangerous, not only for him, but for Fai.

And leaving Fai behind is clearly not an option.  Look what happened the last time he let him out of his sight?  He's not going to be doing that again anytime soon.

As for Sakura, I really like this change in her.

Show content
For me it seems her asserting herself to go on this mission is she wants to prove to herself that she can go on without her Syaoran.  In the past, he's always been the one looking out for her, and now that he's gone, she wants to know she can carry on without him.  It's sad because she seems to have completely given up on him ever returning, so she needs to do this journey for herself to prove that she can live without him.

I think he wears boots suddenly because the X people gave him some, like they gave Sakura a whole new outfit. So can we give Kuro a new shirt too? It may be sexy but it's all torn and bloody.

But, while I was in English today, I had a thought: (spoilers for Holic)

Show content
In Holic, Watanuki lost his eye to the spider, and he could periodically see flashes of where the spider was, etc. Likewise, after giving half his eye to Watanuki, Doumeki can sometimes see out of Watanuki's eye.

So my question/theory is this: will the same rules apply to Fai? Since Syaoran has his eye, will he be able to occasionally see out of it? Because that way we could keep up with what clone!Syaoran is doing.

However, Fai's eye was also removed rather more forcibly than Watanuki's, but if one considers the fact that Syaoran's eye turned blue, one can assume that it is still Fai's eye, and therefore he might still be able to see through it.

Though actually I think it's the other way around. Fai will be able to see out of "Syaoran"'s eye, but since Syaoran doesn't, ah...have an eye in Fai's skull (for *extreme* lack of a more eloquent way to phrase it) he probably won't be able to see anything.

how long do the intervals of seeing through their donated/lost eyes usually span? A few seconds or several minutes at a time? And how clear are the visions?
If Fai will be able to see through the clone's eyes at times, I think the glimpses he gets will be important clues for the gang's tries to avoid the clone catching up to them.

As for the chapter, I haven't got much to contribute, I'd just repeat what everyone else has said. It's great that Sakura's finally doing something, etc.

Kamui's face! XDDD classic! *Fangirl giggle* there he is trying to be all tough and bam. MAN GLOMP! XD

Anyone else think Sakura looks rather cool in this chapter? she changed in Syaoran's cape and gah *___* she looked fantastic! Plus people dressing in their loved ones clothes can be really cute and sensual... yeah *shutsup*

an ok chapter, mainly I'm glad to see some Kamui/Fuuma action, and Sakura looking like she's finally about to kick some ***

Here (http://ladydarkmoon.livejournal.com/122034.html#cutid1). :keke:

did anyone else catch the look on Real syao's face when fuuma mentioned seishriou's name? kuro had a look to, but it was more like "oh, THAT guy <_<"

I think everybody except for Fuuma hates him at the moment, Sei-chan has no friends!  Wouldn't it be funny if Fuuma ends up being on their side. It looks like all that talk Seishirou did about Kamui perked Fuuma's interest, not to mention the sparring matches for three years straight. XD

  Also, he has Fai to think about.  For us, this has played out over weeks.  In their relative time, Fai's being hurt and dying anf then being saved is very fresh.  He also promised to look after Fai and is responsible for his life.  While that may or may not be permanent, depending on whether Fai gets his eye back, right now Fai NEEDS Kuro.

  There is no way Kuro could really leave Fai right now.  What if Fai woke up and needed blood right away?  Or What if he woke up and Kuro wasn't there and he tried to run away...or even kill himself?  His mental stability following what has happened is likely to be shaky.  No way Kuro would up and leave him to go on a quest right now.

  So really, I think it is in character.  But that's just me.  *shrugs*

I totally agree *nods* I was thinking the same thing today at school - that Kuro couldn't've gone anywhere, because he had to stay with Fai.

And Inarikami did a translation of the chapter too, if it hasnt been posted already, which makes a few bits clearer~

I support that theory of yours as well, Emiko. Since I haven't read Holic,
Show content
how long do the intervals of seeing through their donated/lost eyes usually span? A few seconds or several minutes at a time? And how clear are the visions?
If Fai will be able to see through the clone's eyes at times, I think the glimpses he gets will be important clues for the gang's tries to avoid the clone catching up to them.

Hmm, as I remember it...

Show content
When Watanuki was seeing through the spider, the visions lasted only a few seconds (I assume), since he was more or less like "WTF?" and then pretty much just kept on going. Visions SEEM to be pretty clear otherwise, they aren't blurry or anything (though we're never really shown any of Doumeki's visions).

 However, when Doumeki begins seeing out of Watanuki's eye, he mentions being able to see what I'll tentatively refer to as a fireworks display (made by, um, a lightning god or spirit I think? It's been a while since I read that arc.) So, that particular vision probably lasted longer than just a few seconds.

Doumeki also deduces that he can see out of Watanuki's eye whenever Watanuki's emotions fluctuate or are strong.

Okay, so I've finally read the chapter...

As much as I still don't want the journey to focus just on Sakura, I do want it to skip back and forth between her and Kurogane, Syaoran and Fai....

But I take back anything I said about Sakura before I read this. I don't mean previous chapters, as she was a bit dull, but about this chapter after the spoilers.

I feel like a proud parent about Sakura. Look at her go...She's gaining a backbone. She's like her proper self again.

THAT'S THE SAKURA I KNOW AND LOVE. Keep it up!

...I still want the inevitable Kuro-and-Fai talk. >_<

Oh, I do like the theory of Fai possibly being able to see now glimpses of what C!S does - that would make the best way of getting him back in the story without awkward switches of "At the same time in FWR's place". That would be elegant way to both give a little something of positive in Fai losing his eye and have C!S in view (forgive the pun!)

I wish you guys hadn't used ice cream as an example (since ice cream seems to be a euphemism for sex in the X fandom!).

*snorts coke out of nose*

Subaru wanted sex ice cream. Kurogane agreed to pay for Subaru's sex ice cream. In exchange, Subaru had to give Kurogane his manga. It does matter who pays for what- if someone pays the price for you, you owe them in return; it's not a free ride.

LOL!

I really liked this chapter. I’ve always liked Sakura’s character in TRC and although I’ve found her innocence and damsle-in-distress-ness quite adorable, it’s really great to see her finally steping up to the plate for real and ready to go it alone.

Show content
Her new costume is so cute! ^^ I love the way she takes Syaoran’s cloak with her. Also love the Kuro!daddy moments and Sakura's "Kurogane-san, please get your wounds treated. Please look after Fay-san."

A lot of people have mentioned that, until now Sakura has been well, a bit wet. But thinking about it, if CLAMP has been leading up to this Tokyo arc, Sakura venturing into danger on her own wouldn’t be nearly as tense if she had been the ‘super-genki-magical-girl’ Sakura that she was in CCS, already used to fighting with the boys and holding her own in battle. The fact that she’s so fragile in TRC, I think, is a very good thing in terms of storytelling.

And OMG! The Room of Requiem’s scans come with some fantastic colour TRC/xxxHOLIC crossover pictures! Fai in a frilly pink apron and headband and clearly loving it!! CLAMP's gayest picture of Fai so far I think!!

Here is the translation of the chapter, I found it on the web, so, enjoy it:

Splash page: Even though we are far apart, my thoughts will definitely reach you.

p.1
Yusuriha: The amount of water inside the bottle doesn't quite match what came out?!
Mokona: The place is filled with water now.
Yuuko: The water doesn't mean to be pretty. It has natural power that hasn't been disinfected. It's very powerful.

p.2
Yuuko: Even so, it can be polluted by what happened to this world in the past. Before this water is gone, you have to adjust the system of your world. After that, the rest is up to you.

p.3
Somebody: However, what kind of structure should we turn it into?
Someone else: What should we do to the container that holds the feather?

Kamui: This world doesn't have magic or magic powers. There is no need to create machines to defend against it.

p.4
Fuuma: This feather doesn't belong to this world. Four years ago, I brought it here from another dimension.

p.5
Fuuma: Hello, Yuuko-san. What's the time over there?
Yuuko: It's almost night time.
Fuuma: Well then it's good evening. Ever since I came to this world, there is no means of communication so I got disconnected from you.
Kamui:...
Kurogane: So you know him too huh (speaking to Yuuko possibly).
Fuuma: I'm a new customer of Yuuko-san's shop.
Yuuko: That contain is something you found too.
Fuuma: Yes, because that's my job.

p.6
Fuuma: Being a hunter, we are asked to find valuable things. Sometimes it's something we want as well. There are all sorts.
So even though we are both hunters, what we search for is different, big brother and I.

p.7
Nice to meet you. You're Subaru-san. Big Brother is always in your care (this sentence can also be "thanks for looking after big brother").

p.8
Kamui: You're the brother of that hunter?
Fuuma: When we were crossing different worlds, I heard about the vampire twins from him. They're always together but somehow only one is here. I wonder what was going on.

p.9
Fuuma: You met up with each other all right?

p.10
[no dialogue]

p.11
Subaru: Kamui!
Fuuma: It's just like Big Brother said. Kamui is strong.

p.12
Fuuma: But I also learnt that Subaru-san can be very scary when he's angry.
Subaru: Please let go of Kamui.
Fuuma: Of course.

p.13
Yuuko: You brothers are always troublemakers.
Fuuma: That's just Big Brother.
Yuuko: You too.
Fuuma: Seishiro-Big Brother has not arrived in this world yet.
Yuuko: Well, about the price, Kurogane.

p.14
Kurogane: Finally you want something?
Syaoran: With that I'll...
Sakura: I'll do it.
Mokona: Sakura!

p.15
Sakura: I've always been sleeping in this world. I couldn't do anything. That's why I want to do it.

p.16
Sakura: Please tell me what happened up until now.

p.17
Fuuma: Is the instruction on how to ride this ok?
Sakura: Yes, thank you very much.

p.18
Mokona: Are you really going alone?
Sakura: Yes.
Mokona: Yuuko! The rain in this country hurts a lot! There are very big creatures too. It's very dangerous to go alone.
Yuuko: That's why I asked her to bring me something from a place that only I have told her. That will be a payment.

p.19
Sakura: I'm sorry.
Syaoran: Huh?
Sakura: It's because I said "stop" that is why you were injured. So please rest. Moko-chan too.

p.20
Sakura: Kurogane-san, please get your wounds treated. Please look after Fay-san.
Kurogane: You're speaking the whole time. You probably won't listen.
Go, we'll remain here until you come back.

p.21
Sakura: Yes.

Sakura's new outfit is cool.  Except for what she wore in Piffle I've disliked most of her outfits (I'm not into the girly-girly stuff) so it's cool seeing her wear something bad-*** for a change.  I'm hoping that CLAMP doesn't focus on her the entire time for the next part but it's nice to see her doing something for a change.

It's so true that Kotori and Hokuto did die young, what's worse, Killed by the person they loved....and how Kamui and Subaru situation is so much the same in X, and as I recall Subaru in X also said to Kamui that they are the same (when Subaru enter Kamui's dream when he's in coma), where both have 'the person I like the most killed my most important person", though this is true for Subaru, I'm not sure whether for Kamui, Kotori is he like most or important. BUt overall, i says that Kamui and Subaru are 'twin' in the way their life goes with the people they cared about.

It is a little off-topic but at the same time not wholly so, but I took to finding scanlations of X more seriously and it was all due to the talk on the chapter threads here, the point where I knew I should take it as a priority was after the ice cream talk - I was so tired and beat yesterday but I was laughing out loud last night when I read that.

X_x All the bishi molestation in this chapter! Fuuma beee-have!!!

Can someone please explain to me just how this series constitutes as 'shonen' anymore?! I mean, Syaoran has crossdressed, as has Fai (in frills and pink even! XD), Fai has worn a crop-top twice and is the campest manga character I’ve ever come across. There are numerous shonen-ai couples/chemistry – Kamui x Fuuma, (probable) Seishirou x Subaru, Toya x Yukito, Ashura x Fai, (now undeniable) Kurogane x Fai.
A good deal of the splash pages are just pure fanservice for girls. Kurogane in a tuxedo with his shirt hanging open, a dripping wet Fai with his shirt open too, touchy-feely gothic vampire twins… etc.
The only sexy females in the series to mention are Oruha-san, occationally Yuko when she appears and maybe Primera and Xing Huo.
Seriously! Are men still reading this series?!

Nicely put, girl ^____^ But you're right, TRC really doesn't contain a lot of fanservice for boys... But maybe that's just because the mangaka are probably their own slash pariring's biggest fan girls *g*

And where did Fai wear crop tops? O.O! *neeeeeds to see it!*

Maybe gay men?  LOL

I think that even when Clamp TRY to do shounen (Chobits) with all the correct fanservice (naked persocom's, flirty women) that they fail and end up with a mostly shoujo series.  Holic and Tsubasa are both run in shounen mags but I think they're just writing in the way they write best.  If the publishers want Clamp for their magazines then they should know what to expect.

Maybe the publishers just want increased sales-this way they get males buying the magazine for the rest of the serialisations and females buying the magazines for Tsubasa and Holic!

Lol- actually, I know plenty of guys who don't have a problem with teh gay and who read TRC. Not all guys immediately stop reading a series when it 'gets gay,' thank goodness.

And actually, CLAMP is quoted as have said that they consider HOLiC a shoujo series. ^^ Even when people were saying KF would never be canon because TRC is 'shounen' I never really considered that a valid argument. As much as TRC is about Syaoran fighting to save Sakura and whatnot, it's also just as much about the crossovers with other CLAMP series; and almost all of CLAMP's series are unambiguously shoujo.

If idiot guys aren't reading TRC because of 'teh gay,' that's their loss.

In Henshin republic, the first shirt he wears is way above his navel and also in Piffle world, his casual t-shirt is the same.

My brother read the first six graphic novels of TRC. He's very much a fan of shonen manga. After the Outo arc he refused to believe that TRC was, in fact, shonen and wouldn't read anymore. He said something along the lines of "No shonen series would ever have so much frilly girly rubbish, sappy romance and blatently gay men."

Weeks later, a football Player, one of the guy's found it and they just passed it around like crazy, walked up to her and asked if there were anymore, and low and behold, we found out that people liked the manga, even a few teachers. Now they have a whole list in the school libarey. CLAMP being one of the many to choose from. Who would have thought one lost manga could bring a whole bookcase full to school....saddly, Legal Drug is not aloud, as of what is on the cover, hehe..

*agrees with Smile*

Think about it.  Think where "X" was published and how they were making "X" until the day, the magazine company pulled them out.  It's suppose to be shoujo but......heh for the blood.    I mean, even "Angelic Layer" didn't seem to fit in much with the whole shonen perspective despite it being a shonen manga, but, it stars a girl and has some bits of love theme in it.   Also, the second part of MKR was switched from a shoujo magazine to a shonen magazine.  <_<

^___^  CLAMP has this kind of recognizable style about them.  They make some of their stories not really focused on the particular genre but kind of inter-mingle their genres a little.  Makes them stand out from such shonen mangas like Hikaru No Go, Prince of Tennis, Kazan, Naruto, Inu Yasha, MAR, FMA, etc.    Yukiru Sugisaki, of D.N. Angel and Lagoon Engine fame, may actually relate a little to CLAMP because a lot of readers didn't quite know where to classify her manga as shoujo or shonen.  Yukiru says it's all shoujo but hmmmmm... (I still think it's a mix.)  :D

Because Subaru is the treasure he wants for himself.

Since Fuuma said "Niisan is always in your care", I assume that Subaru saved him at one point, Seishirou grew attached and was less than pleased when a certain over protected brother interfered.

It's because Seishirou is a possessive little kid. -_-

Definately shows you the contrast between Hokuto and Kamui.  She pushed Subaru and Seishirou together despite the fact that she knew he was bad, and even after he did what he did, she still liked him.  Kamui on the other hand...quite the opposite. XD

Title: Re: Chapter 128
Post by: nefadol on September 16 2006, 06:54 am
I don't mind Wishgranting!Fuuma, without him Subaru never would have had any kind of closure with Seishirou in X.  It's just that I don't think Tsubasa needs anymore angst, but it's kinda on a downward spiral in that direction anyway, just wait until Sei-chan shows up.

You have to wonder what he'd do if the greatest wish of one of the DOE or DOH was to open a bakery, would he help them with that?  Everyone in X is so angsty, nobody has a positive wish that doesn't end in death. -_-

Title: Re: Chapter 128
Post by: nefadol on September 16 2006, 08:26 am
Well, as close to closure as he was going to get.  If Fuuma didn't tell him Seishirou's last wish and fulfilled it, I think Subaru would have been far more lost than he ended up being.  Although I wouldn't say he's happy or probably will ever be, but we can't know for sure (X isn't over yet).  Seishirou was indeed very selfish, even Fuuma said that about him.  At least Yuuko hopes that Subaru will be happy, but she did say that he has to make his own happiness.

You know this Sei-chan is probably the same, and that's not very comforting. -_-

okay, anyone want to make prediction for what happen next..? I think half the chapter will focus on Sakura, and the rest will be back to the others, but I don't think Yuuko will start explaining everything she can while Sakura's gone, she has right to know what happen actually, with the Syaorans especially...And the place where Sakura go to.?i think it will be certain place where Sakura only can do it or has anything to do with her special power. But, IF Sakura doesn't take over the price, will Yuuko ask the same thing to Kurogane.?

Let's keep our fingers crossed then for the same truefulness percentage of the spoilers as the last chapter's had. Those were pretty correct. It would be s bad surprise to see this time the second half be false, for although I am very eager to see Sakura in battle (*gets CCS vibes in advance ;)*, if the chapter alternated between the two storylines would be most satisfying.

It is really not that important I guess, but if Sakura does fight - what weapons has she?

If Seishirou did indeed give a message to Fuuma to relay to Subaru, that's probably why he stayed in Tokyo for 4 years.  Kamui was there, so he was just waiting for Subaru to show his face.

I was wondering about Seishirou though, Kurogane had said that he had the eye of a murderer.  So, who did he kill?  Unless he's truly like his TB/X self and has no qualms about killing anybody, he rather showed this in Outo.
Title: Re: Chapter 128
Post by: Ahrimal on September 19 2006, 09:56 am
In any case, the TB/X Subaru has already undergone enough misery. I would not wish for this Subaru to go through the same experience. It is good that this Subaru has Kamui for his twin, I think. In this respect, perhaps it's better than it would have been with Hokuto. Kamui will never let Seishirou or Fuuma hurt his twin. Kamui certainly wouldn't push Subaru towards Seishirou. When Hokuto did that, it ended in tragedy. This Seishirou doesn't seem different from TB/X Seishirou, but perhaps the perception will change with time as more is seen of him. The twins are always protecting one another, so I hope it won't end in sorrow this time. Just as it is with Subaru and Seishirou, if Fuuma were ever to hurt Kamui, I would not relish the prospect of being in Fuuma's place when he faces Subaru's wrath.
Title: Re: Chapter 128
Post by: nefadol on September 19 2006, 10:43 am
I agree.  Truthfully though, there was never anything truly bad between Seishirou and Subaru (pre-end of TB), they got along perfectly fine.  As Seishirou said, he neither loved or hated Subaru...well, until X16 (and we'll never truly know what he said DX). 

It's really the original bet that caused all the problems, and the only way to avoid things turning out the way they did would have been to make sure that Seishirou and Subaru didn't spend a year together.  It was Hokuto keeping them together for that one year that spelled the doom between them.

Watch there's another bet between the two of them and that's why they have to keep running.

I thoguht of the same thing, or at least, it had something of the same sort of fate, but all of those X/1999 characters wouldn't still be alive..dunno, something similar might have happned though with the Dragons of Heaven and Earth but I figured it had already been mentioned. *shrugs* It hasn't?

I don't think so, that world just 'similar' to Tokyo in X even the characters are the same , but that's all, so it has nothing to do with the original X

Yeah, some of those X characters in TRC are already dead in X so it's definitely not the same one.  It's just kinda a "What If:" world to show everyone what would have happened if the Dragons of Earth won.

Yeah, thats what makes the most sense. Thats what I mean by fate. I find it hard to believe the acid rain would be like that though(to that extreme I mean), but the landscape would definently look that way.

I thought that if the Dragons of Earth won the world would be covered in water and if the Dragons of Heaven won it would be covered in sand.  Wasn't that how it was from Kakyou's dream?

I'm actually use to waiting until Wednesday evening (~6pm) here in the UK as I get my scans from Ladydarkmoon, granted we've been spoilt these past few weeks with early releases.

But it does seem like Fai is still sleeping looking at those photos

I have a feeling Fai will be sleeping for a while, maybe into the next world. -I'm not hoping for that, I'm right up there with everyone who wants him to wake up!

Well, he's just sleeping from exhaustion, thankfully it's nothing like Sakura's feather induced sleep.  Not much time has passed in the story yet for him to even have a full nights rest, so we need to give him time.  It would have been nice if Subaru had said how long he needed to sleep though.

That would be too nice of Clamp, they like to tease the hell out of us.
