Re: Tsubasa Chapter 231 Discussion/232 Dissucsion Thread As sad as this is, I can't say I'm surprised by this development. (I think I said that in one of my earlier posts too, that while the R!Syaoran and R!Sakura would probably get their happy ending, I can't say the same about the clones.) I...

Re: Tsubasa RC 225 Discussion / 226 Prediction Thread It doesn't seem like Clamp had to do much for this Chapter. They don't need to come up with much new dialogue. Heck, they don't even have to draw anything new for pages 14(446) and 16 (449)! As for the other scenes, they just have to add...

Re: Tsubasa RC 223 Discussions / 224 Predictions Thread Haha~ Well, I do appreciate the challenge of translating one language to another, but unfortunately this is one of the instance that they definitely imported too much meaning into the word. (I have learned not to trust anything "official"...

Re: Tsubasa RC 223 Discussions / 224 Predictions Thread Hmm....sorry I'm a little lost here...what argument? I wasn't aware that I was making one....and what is this "exact same thing" you are referring to?

Re: Tsubasa RC 223 Discussions / 224 Predictions Thread I can back up DWMP's words about the "boyfriend" comment because I actually went and double checked...this is what happens when the translator being more specific than is actually required out of certain presupposition - people make...

Re: Tsubasa RC 223 Discussions / 224 Predictions Thread One comment that I would like to make with respect to CCS!Sakura loaning her staff to C!Sakura: I think the concept of “paying a price” in xxxholic and TRC is not so much the value of the thing to Yuuko, but the fact that the person with a...

Re: Tsubasa RC 222 Discussion / 223 Prediction Thread *bursts out laughing* I love the way you put it. XD Even if that is really the least of my problems because the perverseness of this whole thing has a twisted intellectual appeal – it makes the story self-standing – I couldn’t help but...

Re: Tsubasa RC 221 Discussion / 222 Prediction Thread A quick response to ZaCloud's view on incest:

Re: Tsubasa RC 221 Discussion / 222 Prediction Thread Haha, I guess my realistic view is very different from yours then. :) My belief is that genetics is only restricted to the current life. Whenever you reincarnate, your body is that of another person even though your soul might be the same.

Re: Tsubasa RC 221 Discussion / 222 Prediction Thread I don't think genetics is the issue here....as soon as the soul of the Copies are reborn, they can be reborn to whomever, so his genetics wouldn't come from R!Syaoran but from the actual parents, and the genetics point would be moot...At...

Re: Tsubasa RC 221 Discussion / 222 Prediction Thread Tsubasaholic: Oh of course there is no actual incest, but I think the problem is that there is a perception that incest (for example, falling in love with your own mother or someone that looks like her) is disturbing. Just wanted to point...

Re: Tsubasa RC 221 Discussion / 222 Prediction Thread Well, why on earth not? Incest is exactly the type of thing I can see Clamp pulling on us. And to be honest, incest is labelled in society as taboo originally because it produces offsprings with birth defects. Well, now there is a lot of...

Re: Tsubasa RC 221 Discussion / 222 Prediction Thread Speaking of Yuuko, a thought just came to me...I have a feeling that, maybe, Yuuko actually wants events to enfold the way they did. She knows better than anyone what it means to be an anomaly, trapped between life and death, and perhaps...

Re: Tsubasa RC 221 Discussion / 222 Prediction Thread Well, he avoided the immediate backlash for many individual actions. For example, for the particular action of "reviving" Sakura, because R!Syaoran took most of the hit, he was able to avoid the direct consequences of that. But, as a...

Re: Tsubasa RC 221 Discussion / 222 Prediction Thread What's interesting about Fei-Wang, I think, is that he knew what the holes in the principle are and how to manipulate them, so that the whole time it's other people doing the work and not himself, thus avoiding any direct backlash to him...
