Tsubasa: Reservoir Chronicle ch 209

Did FWR seriously say that Cloney had a soul now? When they made a big deal before about his not having one? While I suspect this is a goof on either Clamp’s part or a mistranslation on the translator’s part, I choose to believe that it is proof that my theory that the sakura petal he grabbed just before that lovely bout of screaming gave him a piece of clone!Sakura’s soul that became his own is right.

It’s seems the “you take the left, I’ll take the right” theory wasn’t very far off with the Syaorans! Though I’m a bit sad that it was real!Syaoran that stabbed FWR, and not Cloney. *has Cloney bias*

And now both clones have been stabbed in the back while protecting real!Syaoran! Except that it was real!Syaoran who stabbed clone!Sakura when she was trying to stop the fight, BUT STILL!!!

But poor Kurogane and Fai got to do nothing except for look determined and concerned! Though Kurogane did get to go all “here, let me remind you about my metal arm!”

Still no Mokona. I maintain that it is safely tucked away and napping in the indestructible Mokona Pouch that Kurogane sooper sekritly keeps hidden under his cloak.


But Clamp, where is my xxxHolic?

Well, it makes sense that Real!Syaoran did the stabbing, because Cloney was too busy with carrying R!Syaoran up the stairs and stuff to aim. And, FWR was more likely to be taken by surprise by Dead!Syaoran than by unstable Cloney, yeah?

Anyways, it was clearly all Cloney's plan, so the triumph still goes to Cloney, IMO.

What I want to know is: what is Cloney doing with all that magic???

Wait, I thought it was Cloney that stabbed C|Sakura...

Anyway, I'm glad that Cloney's redeeming himself. And the splash page was cute. It made me get "I'll Make a Man Out of You" stuck in my head.

I just read it and went 'uhh...wait what?' and had to re-read it to understand what I was seeing. It would be nice if CLAMP would show us how the two Syaoran's came up with this bit of strategy. Its not like they could have secret pow-wows or something...

and ha to Fei-Wong Reed. not so smart eh? He should have known that clone!Syaoran would be too unstable to show him true blind suffocating loyalty. Sakura comes first, at least I'm assuming that's why Cloney did this, to save a Sakura even if its not HIS Sakura.

Well, Cloney not doing the stabbing made everything more amazing for me. He planned it ans just stood there looking directly at FWR while the other attacked. I don't know, I still find it amazingly cool. XD

It's like CLAMP wanted to say they were sorry for having to take Shogatsu off, so they fulfilled my twin fetish needs.

*squeals*

OH! Megan, did you know there's a xxxHolic novel? I saw it in Borders. Didn't get to open it up and judge its text and search for pretty original art...but it exists.
