Old Discussion/Prediction Threads

[Lalib]

Let me summarize...FWR got pissed off and wants to start the whole Tsubasa story again. Therefore the real Syaoran and Sakura are sucked into the tube...but the clones didn't let them go and are sucked with them. Thus, the clones and originals are trapped together in the tube now.

Smells like a tragic end...so that was the dream Clone Sakura saw. But since the Clones won't let the originals suffer this tragic end...I think they are gonna sacrifice themselves for the original's freedom. Of course I hope that they'll find a way together out of this mess.

Justone question...who is this? Clone Sakura or Real Sakura?

I feel sorry for her.

For some reason, I'm having a hard time believing the newest chapter, it just seems different in my mind...Maybe becuase it's probably the first chapter in a new volume or something of that extent. Who knows.

O_O FWR's gone nuts, it's official. And why on earth can't he pay his own prices? He's mooching off of Syaoran and Sakura. ALL the pairs. But hey, i sense some action filled Fai and Kurogane scenes!


(At the top is the Clone, the big picture is of Real)

How many people in here loving CCS more then R! or C!?

*cough* somewhat guilty. Though I do want to know how CCS!/R!/C! relate, aside from the vague "everything will be all right"..

Besides, why is FWR so set on beating Clow? Isn't that inconsistent with Sakura being the most powerful magician (from CCS)? *sigh* .. At least we can see FWR's semi-justification of his actions.. Does anyone remember when/how his eyeglass cracked?

.. And with the tube scene, does that mean that there are (potentially) 4 new clones created? C'mon Fai/Kurogane, do something! XD. Or hopefully, the tube will break because it's too full from the SxS goodness! [/futility because it's CLAMP..]

Justone question...who is this? Clone Sakura or Real Sakura?

I think that's the Real - she just woke up?

[luchokun]

this chap gives us as many questions as we had before xD
I think we're still a bit far from the end...

yay! R!Sakura opened her eyes *o*. But, how come that little dirty sneaky bitch (xD) can wound back time without him being affected? is it possible to do it over a single world? or he is unnafected by being on the cut-off time Clow?
mmmm do you think FWR can get Yuuko back to life again? T-T?

[xxxTsubasa]

-new here, this is my first post-

ERIOL! the poor forgotten character...

I think he's going to pop up soon and fix everything.

...Well, hopefully, this is CLAMP we're talking about...

[watanuki01/04]

As FWR is turning back time to find Yuuko, i'm kind of betting that we may go back before Yuuko dies. I say this, meaning to a time when she was with Clow, before he made that unconsious wish to stop her time.

It would be awesome if it did happen like that anyway!!

[DontWakeMeUp]

watanuki01/04:
Ah, yes. That would be pretty awesome: we'd finally get to find out what was up between those three. Haha.

But it would kind of annoy me... I mean, they keep deterring from the battle. D: This is torture. I obviously don't want them to take him out in one shot (there wouldn't be any excitement in that... besides, he doesn't deserve to die that quickly imo), but more fighting would be great.

[Vande]

Oh c'mon CLAMP enough already. I was disappointed by the new chapter. The same stuff has now gone on for too long and for it to 'start again' with the tube is just bleh.

[ShirubiaLamperouge]

But even if you turn back time, the dead don't return. That's why Nadeshiko and Fujitaka weren't around in C!Sakura's Clow (well Fujitaka was, but he wasn't the king. Not quite sure how that worked, but still. I swear Yuuko said something about why they were still dead).

As great as it is to be back at the battle, I don't really think the story is going to go anywhere by staying there. They obviously can't defeat FWR just by blasting him, and seeing as Watanuki sees the Syaorans in the dream world I'd rather get to that bit. *maybe Watanuki will stop being an idiot and save the day*

[Aria Erino]

Okay, I think I finally have my brain around this chapter. I think you guys are right and CLAMP is repeating some old stuff, and that's why I was having trouble. I'm ready for CLAMP to end the series, I'm ready to see the happy ending and to figure out how everything works together. (I thought that since the Syaorans gave Watanuki back his glasses that that meant the battle had finished by then, does that mean the ending is coming up?)

[saphirablossom]

Oh yeah! New chapter at last, and it's gone all dramatic again!! XD
Darn, FWR has just got to stop with saving Yuuko thing. As much as I absolutely love her, he can't force the reals and the clones into the tube to die just for his own selfish wishes! I have sudden crushing urges right now... XD

No really, FWR is going too far, and I agree with Tsubasaholic when she says that he's only pushed onward by his own selfish desire to save Yuuko against her will. It's an obsession that is his reason to live, and at this point we could go as far as saying that maybe FWR's original intentions to save Yuuko weren't out of love or attachment, but just to prove that he could become an even greater magician than Clow by doing what he could not: revive the dead. It could explain why he always calls her 'that witch' and why at the beginning they looked like they were sworn enemies in an epic battle (which they technically are).
It's rather obvious that Clow couldn't revive the dead because he was too good of a person to destroy so many lives needlessly just for a single wish on his part. And FWR is now standing on the pinnacle of selfishness.

And locking away the SxS pair (x2)? He deserves to be handed to the fans' wrath by CLAMP XD. And I just can't imagine him turning back time again. Having to call them R!Saku/R!Syao and C!Saku/C!Syao is already confusing enough... imagine having to find a name for another pair? And it wouldn't make any sense at all, since we'd be going around in circles for pointless reasons... And I think the tube scene in Ch. 1 is getting closer and it's getting to be a scary prospect... not only is CLAMP throwing us back and forth, making us think it's the clones, then the reals, then the clones again, and now we don't who it is... but it also means that one of the pairs is going to be split as some kind of sacrifice... Unless CLAMP throws us another unimaginable twist next chapter.

In other news (XD), R!Sakura has finally joined the awake-people group!! I'm just so happy that she's doing something! Now to hope she'll play a major role...
And I want Watanuki to wake up from his semi-depression/momentary craziness and go and kick FWR half-way to oblivion! Darn it, and I'm sure Doumeki's egg has something to do with this!!

Gods, CLAMP is going to kill us with the breaks! XD

[Tsubasaholic]

New and Improved Tube Scene! Two for the price of one!

I wonder if FWR will actually be able to turn back time or if something will get in the way of that.

As for the three Syaorans, I think it's a reference to the two phases of C!Syaoran's existence rather than to a third Syaoran. It would be more tidy of Clamp to stick to the number they already have which they showed they know when they made the clones the parents. As everyone has already said, they're pushing it already with the reals and the clones. Another pair and it becomes a farce (can my sister and I come to the tube scene? We reenacted it across a pane of glass in the departure lounge when I left for Poland!).

Why do they have a break now that it's all looking like it'll actually move forward? Dear God, on one hand I'm laughing at the ensemble tube scene (though if you think about it it's actually pretty terrible and is only funny because it's the fourth run through and has a new visual twist!) and on the other I'm sitting here thinking "Damn how will they get out of this one?!"

[DontWakeMeUp]

TH:
Yeah, (about the three Syaorans) after I thought more about it, I figured it could be something along those lines... But when you say 'more tidy': I don't really think that anything in this story has been... well, 'tidy'. x_x

I'm just... still not a fan of so many Syaorans and Sakuras. They are an absolutely amazing pair (and, arguably, one of the most well known manga/anime couples), but seeing them a lot now has kind of killed it a bit for me... Quite a bit, actually. I know that everything will be explained later and made up for, but I can't help but feel that it's... kind of overdone, y'know?

And these breaks are not helping. >.<

I can't help but laugh as I read the chapter either, though. =| For one, FWR is depicted as ridiculously mentally unstable... I mean, above any levels known to humans. o_O And the second reason would also be the whole deal with the tube. >.> Gosh... I can't even imagine how much it sucks for the clones especially, seeing as they JUST managed to get out.

[LeaveMeBe]

pls some1 explain 2 me wat happened in this chapter!!!
i'm goin through brain freeze!!!!

[Joei]

couldn't tell what was going on - was just swirls and squiggles.

they keep having breaks to churn out a chapter where nothing really happens. yay
