Title: Chapter 140
Post by: Tatasenko on January 18 2007, 07:07 am
I can't believe it,i am again the only one to think about putting the link to the new chapter...i remenber that some little time ago many members were trying desperately to be the first one to open the new topic,it was a very fun challenge ,but since this damned week everybody seem to have forgotten all the good time spent here  :sad5:...

and the worst is that all the fans have deserted while the forum has been totally improved,it is really incomprehensible,it should have been the inverse  :surprised:!

the site is now much attractive flexible and fast,so everyone should be amazed,don't tell me that a simple week of waiting was enough to wipe out all the happiness that was once here  :sweatdrop:?

so here is the link of Ladydarkmoon's livejournal,but i am really not in the mood to read the new chapter,i'm too disappointed by the gloominess of the forum  :cry:

Thanks for that!

 Awesome chapter!! Gawd just sooooo much angst!! Loved the father/son moment!! Kuro looked really good with that shirt! lol. It's been awhile since I've seen Kuro and Mokona badger each other. Just like old times, huh. and Ashura?!! KOOOL!! Can't wait till next chapter!

I don't think everyone has noticed that the site is back up, I noticed it only a few hours ago.
Anyway I  really liked this chapter:
Show content
I felt sorry for both Sakura and R!Syaoran. :( They are both so sad...
I liked the scene when Kurogane talked to R!Syaoran and Mokona tried to steal his bottle, it reminds you of the old chapters ^^. And Ashura awakened (!) I got very chocked when I read that. At first when it started to "blink".around Fai -(http://i112.photobucket.com/albums/n190/Viktoria_91/namnls-1.jpg) I thought C!Syaoran had come, but this was even a bigger surprise. It will be interesting to seee how this continues.

Eh... So much thoughts...

Show content

I have a bad feeling that the one, Eagle wants to wake up is Emeraude-hime -_-'

Fai's words about Real Syaoran hit me in the head. It was obvious, that he saw everything through his eye. But I didn't think that he would experience everyting that the Clone experienced. I mean, how he could train without movin? But if it's true, it makes things even sadder for the Real Syaoran-Saura-Syaoran's Clone triangle...

I'm afraid that Syaoran has his own reasons why he wants to help Sakura. It's not only the fact, that he wants to protect her because of the Clone's feelings but his own too. When he gazes at the door and during the match on Sakura, it's clear that he has feelings for her The question is, are those feelings like a man for a woman would have (the ones that the Clone had), or likely - there are like in a brother-to-sister relationship (beacuse of the Clow lineage)? I can't believe, that Clone Syaoran's heart loved Saura on it's own. I guess it's only a thing that Real Syaoran wished for. I feel sorry for him...

I wonder if Sakura regrets that Real Syaoran is with them on a journey. She refuses to use his name or to look at him properly. Does she hate him or blame him...? Or is she afraid that she might feel something for Real Syaoran, seeing how much he resembles the Clone? I mean, she knows that he isn't the one, she loves, but can't help having feelings for the Real one.

Kurogane and Mokona seem to be the only ones, that want to help Real Syaoran, seeing how he is very lonely and uncomfortable around. Sakura has her own problems and cannot help him. Fai's concered about the princess and now, he will be in a bad mood either... I wonder if Ashura waking up is because of the Clone's actions? Maybe Fai's spell wasn't able to last longer, when his magic was cut in a half?

And what will Fai do now? He wilfully wanted to turn all his attention to Sakura, so he wouldn't stay close to Kurogane... But what now? Is he going to run away? Or maybe he is going to seek help? Maybe we get to see his true face now?

*sigh* and CLAMP in the manga won't answer any of those questions quickly...

And the chapter was great too!

I became really surprised when Ashura woke up. I wonder what Fai's going to do now, I hope he doesn't leave the group, he probably wouldn't..... I hope  :sad5:

If Real Syaoran gets drunk, he really is exactly like the Clone... I wonder if he would get more open with Mokona and Kurogane after getting drunk...

I wonder what kind of a talk Sakura will have with Fai...

And I think that we will see Ashura more often now ^^

This chapter looks like something that could end a volyme. Does anyone know if that's the case?
Either way, this is kind of a historical chapter: the beginning of the end of one of the biggest mysteries in TRC, Fai's past that is, and the Return of the Humour. I must say I were half-expecting this series to remain angsty until the end.
So, do you think Fai will freak out/try to make everyone forget about the tournament and leave this world, attempt to leave the group, or pretend as if nothing has happened?

wonderful,the forum seems to spring up again  :keke:!
and all the menbers awake exactly when Ashura wakes up too,what a perfect synchronization  :okay:!

the english scanlation is up now,so for those who haven't yet downloaded it,here is the link for "Cheerless victory" (even if the title of the chapter doesn't suit at all with the mood of the characters...except for Mokona of course :wink:) :

I dunno.

guys, can you imagine R!Syaoran drunk?? In Spain we say that the only ones who tell the truth are children and drunk people...I think Syaoran it's going to confess something to Sakura if  he's going to be really drunk...what do you think?? :D
Title: Re: Chapter 140
Post by: Tsu-girl on January 22 2007, 01:15 am
Maybe he'll say something that he would regret - I can't imagine him being cheerfull after drinking... He'll be rather sad...

Post by: moezy-chan on January 23 2007, 04:08 am
While I love this chapter, and it was excellent, my love for Sakura is going south. I'm frankly getting sick of her woe is me attitude. Yes, she misses Syaoran, but it doesn't give her the right to treat R!Syaoran like he's nothing. And frankly, I'm even getting curious on Fai's past. I still can't stand him *braces herself for onslaught of Fai fans* but I am curious about his past at least. I have a feeling Tsubasa is going to come to a close soon. I could be wrong though.
Title: Re: Chapter 140
Post by: mushu143 on January 23 2007, 07:19 am
Ashura is awake! Finally, we can see at least a little of Fai's past. The long wait is over! I can't wait to see what the deal is with Ashura. It's been annoying me ever since the beginning.

Kuro and R!Syao are precious together. Kuro is so much like a father.. I like how he gives alcohol to R!Syao for a casual drink. I thought it was sweet. <33 I did wonder how R!Syao is when drunk, but I don't suppose that was the main point of the chapter.

I understand what Sakura is going through, somewhat. If anything, I think she'd be confused and frustrated at herself. I'm waiting for the moment when she accepts R!Syao though. D:

Yeah, I know what You're talking about. Sakura's attitude is getting more and more annoying.

I have a feeling Tsubasa is going to come to a close soon. I could be wrong though.

I don't think that it will end that quickly. We know Kurogane's past and now it's time for Fai's.
Title: Re: Chapter 140
Post by: Lexi on January 23 2007, 08:34 am
I agree with Moezy. I'm quite the angst fan, and the recent Tsubasa chapters have been giving me plenty of that. However, Sakura's emo trip has started getting on my nerves. She needs to appreciate that even though R!Syaoran isn't the same as "her" Syaoran, he's still a person and needs to accept him as that. >.>

Finally, Chii has served her purpose as a pool cover. 8D I was wondering when she would show up again. :/ And It's about time CLAMP revealed Fay's past. I'm looking forward to the next chapter very much.

Yeah, but that was summed up in about 10 chapters. I don't mean that it'll end in like 2 chapters, but at least 10 - 15 more, then it'll be done.

Hmm... But then they would move to only one world... Eh, I just don't want Tsubasa to end so quickly ^^

What do You think Ashura will do now? I'm getting curious what his reaction will be. And if he's going to punish Chi in some way.

Thank you!! I couldn't find the words to put my thoughts down, but you did!!

Sakura show a little r-e-s-p-e-c-t to R!Syaoran. He's killing himself to help you!!! Stop being so emo!! I'm just glad kuro-papa is helping him get through this difficult time. Although getting him drunk to make the pain go away is a bit much. lol.

Chapter 140 was amazing. v.v Sakura is way emo but it's nice in a way. Somehow i like the change, afterall she was pretty useless. Now she's at least trying to do something. I think she could show a little more respect to R!Syaoran though D:<.  That Ashura is 'back' made me go 'O.O!!'. Exciting <3

Your welcome~ And yesh, she needs to show him some respect. I can understand that she went through a lot and having to face all that horror, but there is a fine line. She's acting really prissy, in my opinion.

Agreed. She is finally doing something, but I can't stand how she's acting. I loved the emo hardcore attitude in the beginning, but there's a fine line for me, and Sakura crossed it.

but unfortunately for those who want the come back of this happy time,it is not for today,because Ashura has just awaken and Clone Shaolan hasn't showed himself yet,so there will be still many sorrowful moments  :okay:

Yeah, now when everything is so sad you do miss "the old times", but still it's good that Sakura is more adult now and that Fai has started showing more of his true self... We can at least hope for that the ending will be a happy ending!

I don't think that Sakura's acting in the last chapter was more adult. I think that it's childish. Sakura's now like a spoiled kid, that misses her toy and doesn't want any other substitute toy (gomen, Syaoran for naming you in this way  -_-). I don't know, if i described it well. I mean that she should stop thinking only about her own feelings and think about Real Syaoran too. It's not like he doesn't know what she's thinking and doesn't feel bad about it. She can't act like he isn't there all the time. Just like Kurogane said: Sakura is both strong and fragile and someone has to teach her that. Kurogane and Fai can't do it, Clone Syaoran is far away and if she let Real Syaoran close, he could help her... He's aware that Sakura loves Syaoran. That's why he didn't kill him, when he had the opportunity and that's why he keeps distance between them... I'm sure, that even if he has some feelings for her, he has so much respect for the Clone that he wouldn't steal Sakura away from him.
But I like how she was in the 'X-world'.

And yes, I miss 'the old' Fai. But I don't think that it is his real face....

I agree. She isn't acting mature at all. Sakura is mad that she can't get what she wants, and like a child she is taking it out on the person that she thinks is making her suffer. I'm also getting sick of her face as well @_@ She doesn't look like the young innocent Sakura in previous chapters. She looks like she's 20 x_x;

this is a sentimental problem that concerns only Sakura and Shaolan,they have to think seriously about their mutual feelings for each other,nobody else can tell them what is the best thing to do,Kurogane and Fai can only ease a little their pain by listening their grief,but they are unable to solve the friction  :(.

moreover Kurogane and Fai have already their own ambiguous relationship to take care of,they are far from being a model for the kids when it comes to love  :haha:

I said looked 20. The way she's drawn now, Sakura looks much older. Doesn't mean she's mature though. And on that note, I'm 23.
