Re: xXxHolic Chapter 187 Disscussion/ 188 Prediction Thread

I think there is a point that the egg would be used mainly for Watanuki but because he is same as syaoran, there might be an effect for syao as well. I'm hoping that syao & company will be customers (again ^^) in the shop with Watanuki together with Doumeki running the shop.

For Watanuki, meeting with different customers he's like having his journey only not traveling but staying in one place, and its vice versa for syaoran..

Re: A DouWata Disscussion

wahahaha! the apron thing was hysterical! the twins did say "welcome home" so if that doesn't mean he lives lives there, then he definetly stas there more often then not. idication by how he takes a shower at Wata's shop in 187. :]

<i>loool. he definetly fell over snowwolf</i>

????

Lol thanks xxxfeather. It makes sense. Watanuki seems to have an indefinite existence, so I'm really not sure of what's going to happen to him. CLAMP will probably pull something out of their sleeves again and make all of us scratch our heads. I can count on that at least.

There are so many things the egg could be/do...but I do believe that Doumeki could use it on Syaoran, or at least give it to him. We'll see....

Re: xXxHolic Chapter 187 Disscussion/ 188 Prediction Thread

When I first read/saw the egg, I thought that maybe it wasn't going to save or help someone, but end their existence, which could be why Doumeki said he couldn't use it on Watanuki, cause he's not going to die... well at least not for a while...
Anywho, I might be totally wrong...

this woman looks like the one who almost killed Watanuki. Or is she the same woman?

Re: A DouWata Disscussion

hahahaha, feather, i drew what i thought happend too! then i ahd a crazy dream about it too . . . where Dou-chan used the egg on himself to gain imortality. *thumbs up*

In all seriousness, I've been wondering if that's what the egg does: allow Doumeki to live longer than he normally would have.

What do we know about the egg? It wasn't destroyed by a rain that could destroy buildings. And didn't Yuuko tell Doumeki to always keep the egg on his person--always near his skin?

I could be completely wrong, but my own theory is that the egg is meant to give Doumeki eternal life as long as he continues to carry it. When he uses it, he will return to a mortal life. Should CLAMP decide to have Watanuki stay at the shop for like, centuries or something, Watanuki will at least have Doumeki around for company, even as his other friends begin to die.

Once again, just a theory.

 

[ZaCloud]

Re: A DouWata Disscussion

Ooooh... My main theory has been it making him not age too, but I thought that'd be a one-time granting... but your suggestion of having to keep it near to have effects really makes sense! o.o I wouldn't be too surprised if that was it.

[feisu-chan]

Re: xXxHolic Chapter 187 Disscussion/ 188 Prediction Thread

did you notice that watanuki keeps repeating things he said before? like the time when he mentioned Doumeki's sudden change in fields, and Doumeki said: how many times do you need to say that? and Watanuki replied: as many times as i feel like...

and then he complimented Kohane about her middle school uniform. Kohane said: You've said that before, Kimihiro-kun.
Watanuki: yup, but i want to say it when i'm happy. however often

Kohane just said "... Kimihiro-kun." with a sad face...

Does that mean anything, considering that CLAMP is the author and maybe implying something between the lines?

or am i just reading it too much that it doesn't really have anything to do with the story or what might have happened during the time skip?

or am i just waiting for the next chapter tooooo long that i'm imagining things?

Re: xxxHolic Manga Release Schedule

i already know about chibiyuuto so does many others... but i'd (not talkin for everyone here) rather get the release dates from CLAMP's website then post them here... that way if there are any typos in release dates i know it was my fault for reading CLAMP's site wrong or makin the typos myself (which i usually catch not long after i post)...

Re: xXxHolic Chapter 187 Disscussion/ 188 Prediction Thread

Feisu-chan, I was just figuring that Watanuki isn't taking his friends for granted, and wants to tell them everyday in his own way that he appreciates them. Just like how every day I tell my family I love them, they do the same for me, and I even do so for our pets.

But, there could also be more behind that, intriguing observation.

Re: xXxHolic Chapter 187 Disscussion/ 188 Prediction Thread

ack, is anyone else frustrated that no one has scanlated 188 yet? i have the scans and the trans sitting around in seperate folder right now, so if it's not up by wensday, i'll add them myself. D: i've had them for over a week now. gack.
anywho . . . DarkestOfNights, i've thought that too, but now that we know Wata isn't FWR, i ruled that out.

patiently waitin on cnet trans, then kurokishakai release will be out... hoping it doesnt show up while i sleep... for min was wonderin if anyone even noticed that 188 raw was out (i believe vic put it on an IRC bot... i hope he remembered)... was startin to think everyone was still mournin the end of TRC...

Re: xXxHolic Chapter 187 Disscussion/ 188 Prediction Thread

hahaha, no. i've had the scans for like, evah. :] since i'm just waiting for the syao-kuro-fai gang to pop up in holic nows.

Re: xXxHolic Chapter 187 Disscussion/ 188 Prediction Thread

3 things. one hello i'm new with so many ideas.
2 on the observation feisu-chan did about watanuki repeating. i think it actually it means something like sice he can't age, and he stuck in at that age he will remember everyone and everything the way it was since he saw yuuko. his mind isnt moving. i hope you get it.
3 i know it sounds crazy but it also make sence that watanuki is fei wang reed. they are both trying to save yuuko and yuuko said that she is hiding watanuki's location from fei wang. just felt like saying it.

I found a page that has spoilers for chapter 189. I can't translate Japanese, so someone may have to translate what it says. Google translator will give you a slight gist of what the chapter is about.

では続きで今週のxxxHOLiCーｖ
「内（なか）に居ますね」三味線を目の前に差し出された四月一日は、その目で視えたものを伝える。
「ええ。というより、まだ生きてる、と言った方が良いかしら」盲目の女性もそのことをすでに分かっているようだった。
女性は三味線の皮は猫の皮で作られていることを話し出した。そしてその猫は雌の方が良い、と。

びぃーん

女性が三味線を弾くと、空気が振るえ、良い音が響く。「喜んでいるわ。貴方を気に入ったみたいね」十日程前から黙っていた三味線が、店に連れて来たことで良い音を聴かせてくれたことに女性は嬉しそうに微笑む。
びぃーん
だが、その音に四月一日は疑問を持ったような表情を見せた。

「この子が黙ってしまった理由はお分かりですか？」四月一日が尋ねると女性は三味線を抱えて微笑んだ。「この子は綺麗なままこの姿になったから、逢いたいのよ。恋しいモノに」

その夜。百目鬼と共に食後のワインを口にする四月一日。
「どういう事だ」ソファーに立て掛けられた三味線に視線を投げかけ、百目鬼が呟く。その問いに、無傷がいいから三味線には未通の雌猫が望ましいと四月一日が答えると、百目鬼が淡々と話す。「交尾中に傷つけられる事があるからか」と。

恋しいモノに逢えなきゃ鳴らない。そう口にすると四月一日は体を起こし胡座をかく。「猫の恋しいモノねぇ」
素直に考えれば猫だろうが、と言う百目鬼。「そりゃ、直接聞いたほうが早いな」

「夢で」

不敵な笑みを浮かべて四月一日は呟いた。




やはり三味線には何かがとり憑いていた、と。そしてその正体は猫。ま、今回はとり憑くというより、使われている猫の皮にまだ猫の心（？）が残っているという方が正しいのかな。恋しいモノに逢えずに逝ってしまったから逢いたいと。
話としては単純かもしれませんが、またここから厄介なことになりそうですよねぇ（笑）。気になったのは、百目鬼の言うように恋しいモノが猫かどうかということ。・・・個人的な予想ですが、「飼い主」かもー、と。

そして『夢』で猫に直接聞いてみる、と。ここで疑問がふたつ。
①：四月一日は以前にも、夢で遥さんに会ったり、人間以外にも鳥の化け物（？）に遭遇したりしてきました。でも、今までは自分でその力を操ることができたわけじゃないですよね？今ではもうその力を制御できるのでしょうか。うまくできないからこそ、周囲の心配があるのかもしれませんね・・・。
そしてその力を使いこなす練習をしたのならば、どうやって？侑子さんが逝ってからひとりで練習していたのかな。でもさくら姫も雪兎さんに指導してもらってやっとだったわけだし、そんなに簡単なことではなかったはず。もしかしたら夢の中で遥さんに指導してもらったとかかなー。

②：以前侑子さんが消えてしまった時に「アヤカシを見ることもなくなる」と言っていた気がしますが、どうなったのでしょうか。確かにその目で三味線の憑きモノを視ていますよね。猫は・・・アヤカシとまでは言わないということでしょうか。



えー・・・。ここまで、真面目に感想を書いていますが、今週のxxxHOLiCを読んで最初に思ったことはコレ。



四月一日君尋 萌え過ぎる＼(^q^)／

以下さすがに恥ずかしいので隠しー（笑）。ただの萌え語りです（笑）
xxxHOLiCのタイトルが変わってからずっと思っていたけれど、今の四月一日めっちゃ好きです！すごい色気（笑）。ツバサの方でファイの双子が登場した時もテンション上がりましたが、超えたかも（爆）
もともと四月一日はひまわりちゃんのことが好きだからと思っていたこともあって、百×四はあまり気には止めていませんでしたが、なになになになに？！（おまえが何）
今週の「じゃあ浮かれて言えばいいのか」のセリフに反応する四月一日とか、「猫の恋しいモノねぇ」のセリフの四月一日とかで、もう自分の中で何かが弾けた！そして舞い上がった！！＼(^o^)／
ずっと侑子さんが妖艶に振舞っていたのは、四月一日をより色っぽくするための布石だったのか！！←

この辺り アニメ化されないかなー(>_<)この色っぽい四月一日を福山さんボイスで聴きたくないですか？！（隣の府に向かって聞いてみる・笑）
以上でした＾＾； こんなことブログ書くのは初めてかな？（汗）200海里くらい引いた方ごめんなさい(>_<) 土下座。

And I'll just post the Google translation, 'cause it'll be faster than having you do it yourself.

More in this week in xxxHOLiCーv
"In (among) the craftsmen it" day in Watanuki outstretched in front of the shamisen, the Case of vision in eyes that convey something.
"Yes. In fact, still alive, I wonder how good I said," seemed to already know that a blind woman.
She resumed the skin of a shamisen is made in the skin that cat. The cat and the female is better, and.

N Byi

And the woman playing the shamisen,振Rue the air, the sound sounds good. "I will be glad. I guess you liked" The shamisen was silent before the date 10 women that did sound good to hear that brought a smile happily shop.
FIRST! Byi but one day Watanuki showed the expression of sound with a question.

"Why this child is lost in silence Could you tell us?" Watanuki is the day the woman asked, smiling faces the shamisen. "This child from this figure was still beautiful, I Aitai. To miss things,"

Night. Watanuki to speak with after-dinner wine Domeki.
"I mean things" cast a glance into the shamisen立Te掛Ke the sofa, muttering the Domeki. The question, the shamisen from intact and say good day in April and one female cat should not copy, light Domeki the people said. "I have things from damaged during mating" and.

逢Enakya to miss things you hear. Day in Watanuki so if you eat the body causing胡座scratch. "Hey miss the cat thing"
If you think a cat would be straightforward, Domeki said. "Yeah, I heard a rather quick to direct"

"The Dream"

Watanuki is呟Ita remarked with a smile.

Shamisen憑they were still taking something, and. Their identity and cats. Well, this time rather than taking憑Ku, cats still in the skin of the cat's mind is being used (?) And that what is right to left. Aitai and tear from逢Ezu's gone to miss.
May be simple as saying, Hey It's going to be nasty from here (laughs). Came to mind is that whether you wanted to say cat Domeki goods. ,,, Is a personal expectations, "owner" Oh be, and.

Dreams 『directly and ask to cats, and. Two questions here.
①: Watanuki is the day before, or met Haruka's dream, a monster of a bird other than human (?) Or have been encountered. But until now it is I'm not able to manipulate its own power? What can now control the power anymore. What can not work, you may have concerns around.
If you master the exercise of its power was, and how? What was the practice of one's gone from Ms. Yuko. Because he finally got to the Princess Sakura and Yukito's guidance, but it would not be so simple. I asked her to instruct or Na Haruka's maybe in a dream.

②: Yuko's when I lost my previous "no longer have a look at Aya oak" and say that I feel, what's happened. I It is the vision of things that certainly shamisen Demonic. Aya oak and cats until I tell you that.
