Re: xxxHolic 173 Discussion/174 Predictions Thread

About the theory of which CSS Syaoran and CSS sakura would be in piffle and about that page you showed us. I checked in the real book (mine is in french). What shw said basically translate to : "The way they pilot there machine reflect very well their personnality". I think it make more sense or it could be a mistake of translation, but I don't think so.

Re: xxxHolic 173 Discussion/174 Predictions Thread

While xxxHolic and Tsubasa Reservoir Chronicle are intimately interwined, they are still two separate manga and exist in two separate boards here at MH. This thread should be used for discussion of the current events in the xxxHolic chapter.

References (that do not include spoilers for the latest chapter of TRC) may be mentioned as relevant to the events of xxxHolic, but the rest needs to be taken to the TRC board. (If you would like to refer to an event that has happened in a most recent chapter of another manga like TRC, you should put the information in spoiler tags so as not to spoil those users who do not read both xxxHolic and TRC, and they do exist.)

The theories about Piffle and the other worlds are interesting, but these should be taken to the other board.

Further off-topic posts will be deleted.

Re: xxxHolic 173 Discussion/174 Predictions Thread

Hah?

Why are you so nervous?

This happened once already in a Holic chapter...so possibly it is not SO bad yet...xD
Am I too positive? XDDD

Re: xxxHOLIC spoilers thread

YES YOU ARE! Better get ready to post "Stop all the clocks" soon. Gulp...
I said that I will do that when the sad, tragic, terryfing, goes-to- Clamp-studio-with-a-sword-and-my-UNDYING PASSION-for-Yuko-day comes. Gulp again...

Re: xxxHOLIC spoilers thread

You´re too sweet Lady Sakura-chan!

It seems that she´s disappearing, but to my way of thinking Watanuki is too quiet for that...and then he speaks so easily (but serious) with Doumeki..xD

In Ireland, it was believed that black butterflies were the souls of the dead, who were forced to wander the earth because they couldn't find their way to the Afterlife. xD
There are many various meanings of butterflies, but they all have similar meanings or discribe Yukos character very good...

Re: xxxHolic 174 Discussion/175 Prediction Thread

That was a great chapter!!! Did people notice on page 1 that the background was breaking up into glass just like in TRC? Is that symbolic? or something more?

I guess that Maru and Moro have dissolved their bodies in the shop because they used up all thier energy to protect it. And i think that Yuuko is stuck in the dream world or something, judging from the end of TRC chapter 214. But where is Mokona? Mokona has always been near Watanuki these last ten chapters or so that i wasn't expecting Mokona to disapear as well. Plus i though Mokona is there for Watanuki's sake like the other Mokona in TRC is there for Shaoran.

Oh well, these are just my theories anyway. Looking forward to next chapter!!

Re: xxxHolic 174 Discussion/175 Prediction Thread

Where did Yuko go? Perhaps to Butt-chin`s place. O my god...hope Yuko is gonna kick his butt...

 

[Tagaticco]

Re: xxxHolic 174 Discussion/175 Prediction Thread

If Yuuko went to join the TRC group...i really think she will never come back to watanuki

Re: xxxHOLIC spoilers thread

Lady Sakura-chan (my 100th post goes out to you!!!). To me 'Stop All The Clocks' is a declaration of the death of all hope. Only post it if there is no mad crazy corner of your heart that believes Yuuko is alive no matter what Clamp or anyone else says.

Re: xxxHolic 174 Discussion/175 Prediction Thread

I really doubt Yuuko is ever gonna fight FWR. First, because she is too powerful, second because it's not within her area of intervention. She said it before, she cannot do anything herself because she must always get compensation. I think the reason she trained Watanuki is that on the "day that must come" it will be him who will have to act.

Re: xxxHolic 174 Discussion/175 Prediction Thread

Woah...did they just take out sakura and/or Yuuko? Lots of shared imagery between the two series.

Re: Recent Manga Storyline and Tsubasa Chronicles

Do the timelines of the two manga run concurrently? Meaning if one week an event happens in Tsubasa Chronicles, it is presumed to have happened in xxxHolic, even if it isn't mentioned in both?

Something like that. The 2 stories run simulataniously, but are both stand-alones that cross into each other.

Think of it like this. Usually when something that happens in TRC converges into xxxholic territory, there's usually a xxholic chapter that will tie up the loose ends.

Re: xxxHolic 174 Discussion/175 Prediction Thread

I honestly feel it was a life for a life in a way. Since what happened in TRC happened, in order to preserve the world as it is, she has to let her life go in exchange for Sakura's. Especially with the butterflies and the petals (the symbol for Sakura most of the TRC series). I don't know... I just don't think we will see her again outside of maybe a memory with the earring from Mokona.

Furthermore, everything she had collected was to pay for her wish to let her life be taken in exchange for Sakura's and to allow Watanuki a chance for his own life. To me, it fully explains why all those memories and artifacts had to be taken, so there would be no lose ends. Even more so, it explains why in the previous chapters Watanuki was starting to focus on Yuko's wish... as a precursor for this, to help him understand.

As for Watanuki, I think everything Yuko was trying to teach him was to prepare for the day she would no longer be there. That's why it is so important for him to continue on her work in a way. I am not sure of the significance of the lady who wanted to learn to cook though... I am sure something will come from that.

Re: xxxHolic 174 Discussion/175 Prediction Thread

I don't think we've said goodbye enough to Yuko for her to have just disappeared already. I'd say we will see her again. She's not even nearly finished yet; we still know absolutely nothing about her. Well, a very little bit.

 

[Beav58]

Re: xxxHolic 174 Discussion/175 Prediction Thread

True, we don't know much about her and I imagine we will find out. But I don't think it has to be at the words of Yuko herself. It would take away from the mystery of her character. But I imagine we will find out her story through other means. For example, the earnings on the Mokona's, especially the one in Holic was used as a recording of memories. I imagine that is where we will find out about Yuko's past. I believe this is how Watanuki and gang will find out.

As for her past itself, I believe that every price she asked for was to gain as much power/luck to be able to allow these dreams to exist. Everything will play its role, just as every person. The question, I am most curious about, is how will some of these things happen. Like Himawari getting her luck back. I imagine it was no coincidence that the Sakrua clone in TRC had her luck given as a price for Yuko. As well as Domeki having to protect the egg.

I don't know, I guess I just think Yuko will play a mysterious role until she is no longer there. And everything she was teaching Watanuki is to prepare him for that and make all their wishes possible. So the dream of Watanuki to not disappear would come true.
