As you might have noticed, I’m not having much free time lately, but things will be back to normal hopefully by the next week.
But better late than never, huh? So here are the cleaned up scans for those who appreciate them, available at The Room of Requirement. They look particularly pretty today, well Tsubasa itself is looking prettier than ever.
Thanks for ladydarkmoon for the amazing job ^__^ *bows*
Didn’t like the splash page xD
Sakura looks pretty when she’s desperate, poor thing ^^”
After all the many proofs, I guess everybody acknowledge that he is indeed CCS!Syaoran, if the incantation and the sword weren’t enough, well, I guess all that’s left is for him to literally speak “I came from the CCS manga” XDDD
Jokes aside, I noticed that CLAMP is using white eyes for CCS!Syaoran. I don’t know if it’s to clearly make him different than our old Tsubasa!Syaoran that everybody was used to, or if there’s a bigger meaning on it. I really like it.
Ouch, my leg ! But there’s no need to worry, his leg is just fine at the end of CCS… he’s completely fine, actually XD
Hang on, I thought that feather was already inside of Sakura O.o is that another?
No need to say that I’m loving these latests events of Tsubasa XD Never thought the story would come to this point. I always wanted to know how would it be like if Sakura and Syaoran were X characters and this is what it would be like, definitely. Not to mention that here, Syaoran is looking like Fuuma when he wakes up for the first time, and Sakura a mix of Kotori and Kamui.
Btw, now that the feather is in (sexual connotations, anyone? XD) and Sakura is asleep, I bet she’ll only wake up on the next world xDDDDDDDDD
And oh yeah, Subaru spoke ! Syaoran cut his cocoon so he ought to get out of there soon. My bet is, obviously, at the end of the next chapter so that the color pages of 17 will feature him *curious* ^^
Is still too soon to start predictions, I’d say. But hardly any of the Syaorans shall die, so for now let’s just wait to see how things will unfold.
Next week there’s XXXHOLiC’s return, finally *-*

No, I still don’t think those “proofs” are enough. I think there can be chances of characters through dimensions having the same weapons.
Until he doesn’t spell it out (for instance, by saying something like “I’m a Li, dammit!” or “I love a not-useless Sakura who has magic cards”), I won’t make any speculations.

I mean, Ryuu-ou and Souma in Outo, and Ashura and Yasha in Shura/Yama/Shara all have the same weapons/attacks as they did in RG Veda, but they’re obviously not the same people. So that doesn’t really prove it, and I thought he was descendant of an alternate Clow Reed, like TRC!Sakura is.
Sakura and Syaoran have officially been introduced to CLAMP’s darker side. I find it very satisfying. Sexual connotations ARE THERE EVER.

Do you get someone, a relative or an artisan who sells them (like Ollivander in Harry Potter), to make you one? Do you inherit it like it’s your older siblings’ clothes or grandmother’s jewelry? How DOES it work? Does it varies from person to person?

I agree with . I won’t be sure that he’s CCS!Shaoran until he does spell it.
Not only because we already saw people with the same weapons and attacks as in their original canons. There’s also a problem with the ages. We’ve seen TRC!Shaoran when he was a little kid, and he looks at least two or three years younger than CCS!Shaoran. Tube!Shaoran was already stuck in that bottle by the time he was 10-11.
I’m still not convinced.
LikeLike
I think that he could look like he had 10 years old (his age in CCS) when he was in the tube. When he returned to Hong Kong by the end of CCS, he was 10-11-ish, and when he returned, he looked just like he does now in TRC.
LikeLike
TRC!Shaoran, as a kid, looks younger than CCS!Shaoran to me. It might be a difference of style, I guess, but he and Sakura act younger than their CCS versions. There’s no way that little Sakura is older than eight in those flashbacks…

About that, yeah, I asked myself about that too, and here’s what I think:
CCS!Syaoran was 10/11-years old when he was captured by Fei Wang = End of CCS, when he left Japan to Hong Kong.
Fei Wang cloned CCS!Syaoran and created TRC!Syaoran, BUT, instead of making him with the same 10/11 years old, he cloned one with 7 years old because that was the age of Princess Sakura.
Does that make sense to you? XD
LikeLike
Except that both Shaorans look exactly the same, not only now, but when they were cloned:
I don’t know, really. I’m not saying he can’t be CCS!Shaoran, but I think there isn’t enough proof either way yet.
… and I think I’m not going to like it either way, too. If he’s CCS!Shaoran, it would create even MORE plotholes in CCS. If he’s not CCS!Shaoran, there would still be plotholes anyway because Fei Wang said he’s Clow Reed’s descendant (and Fei Wang always talks about that Clow Reed).
They’ll have to pull off a reallly, really good explanation if they want me to believe their ending.
LikeLike
I personally think that Syaoran could look like he had 10-11 while the clone, 7. When the chapter first came out, I kept trying to look at him as if he was 10-11 and, basing that Tsubasa has a different style, I came with the conclusion that he could be 10 or 11 years old, while the clone looked a bit younger, I don’t if it was because of his drowsy eyes or not.
However, Ohkawa knows her stories better than anyone else. I’m sure that she thought on everything very carefully and I’m sure that, if he really is CCS!Syaoran, she’ll make up a way to cover all possible plotholes.

I also agree this isn’t CCS!Syaoran.
(1) cause the age thing.. he couldn’t be in japan at the right age for CCS series.
(2) the sword is pulled out in a different fashion. CCS TV was a bauble/bead thingie he always carried around. He held it in his hand and kinda prayed over it. (I can’t find an image of Syaoran pulling it out in the manga.. but there’ve been tv only charas in tsubasa)
(3) circle.. CCS book 9 page 16 theres an image of Syaoran conjuring a ‘magic circle’ and while its simular to the compass its an octagon. The ‘points’ aren’t on it. I believe its identical to the one syaoran’s mom brought forth in CCS movie 1
(4) magical strength… This RealTsubasa!Syaoran is WAAAAY more powerful than CCS!Syaoran. He’s been in suspended animation and his power cut in half by losing an eye, he shouldnt be that much more powerful
I’m a big syaoran fan :).. oh and long time lurker….

I think he IS CCS|Syaoran.
(1)He left Tomoeda when he was 9-10 years old and came back when he was 16-17 years (=first year of high school), and note that we don’t know what happened meanwhile…
(2)you said it yourself : there’s no image of Syaoran pulling it that way in the manga, so it can’t be really considered as a valide reason.
(3)I don’t remember about that book 9 thing, but I sure have compared it in those two pictures (http://syaoran-shrine.minitokyo.net/) and they looks exactly the same…and we have to keep in mind that there’re 10 YEARS between CCS and TRC the manga : Clamp are great but not perfect…
(4)In chapter 120, page 02, Yuuko says :”… When he gave away his left eye, “Syaoran’s” magic was cut in half.As time passed, it grew,and that boy waited until he could break the tattoo that Fei Wang had imprisioned him with.His price was his own freedom and time.But Fei Wang’s magic was strong.Just like Syaoran, he is of Clow Reed’s bloodline, and is only second in power to him.” —> his power had to grew enought for him to be able to break Fei Wong tatoo that was keeping him sealed…and it took him 7 YEARS!!!

and we have to keep in mind that there’re 10 YEARS between CCS and TRC the manga
Who said this? The difference between the end of CCS’ publication + the beginning of TRC’s publication isn’t even 10 years, and there is no definite time difference between either manga.
LikeLike
It’s gonna be long…
You’re actually saying there’s only 1 year between when he left to HK and when he came back (grade 6 and grade 7)?… Furthermore, from the drawing we could see that he was at least half a meter taller… I know I’m exagerating, but what I mean is that it just CAN’T be 1 year!
The date thing is about the pic from volume 9 : I now remembered that it was when Syaoran was looking for the owner of the coat he found on Sakura, if I’m not mistaken…but the circle thing is not valide either because I found a pic that showed that both (from TRC and CCS) are the same (see the link in my previous post). As for the 10 years thing, it’s true, I checked and the release date of volume 9 is july,22th 1999, which would be 7 year, not 10 like I stated before. What I wanted to say is that there were 10 years between the start of CCS in 1996 and the actual chapter in 2006. And God, let’s drop the subject because it’s really getting us nowhere ^^;;
But you have to confess something : apart from this year thing, there’s nothing that proves he’s not CCS|Syaoran, and you weren’t able to say anything about all the other reasons I stated, right?
So I will say more :
(1) There’re lots of crossover in TRC and a bunch a characters from others’ Clamp series appeared with the same weapons and stuffs but who were OBVIOUSLY different people :
-Touya is the king of Clow Country in TRC, while he’s a normal person in CCS -Yukito is a magical being created by Clow Reed in CCS but he is a famous and powerful wizard at the service of the royal family in TRC
-no need to give explainations for Arashi and Sora from TRC, there’re obviously no the same as the ones in X however you look at it…
-Clow Reed in TRC is the former king of the country of Clow. Father of Sakura and Touya. While in CCS he’s the creator of Sakura’s Clow Cards and Syaoran’s ancestor.(note that the Clow Reed that Yuuko and Fei Wong talks about is the CCS one)
-Sohma is one of the ninjas in the service of Tomoyo in the country of Japan and also a player in a the game world Outo in TRC, while she originally appeared in RGVeda and had a totally different role…
I’m not going to list all the characters one by one; but my point is that the ones that appeared in TRC had a lot of similarities with their “original” selves in their own respective mangas, but they also ALWAYS had something that made them foundamentally different and made us thing “those are obviously two different person”. And I ask : except for the age thing, what is that “thing” in Syaoran that made us think (as it did for ALL the others) that he is OBVIOUSLY a different person?
(2) Let’s talk again about the crossovers : since the start of TRC, their only real “canon” crossover might be with xxxHOLiC, right? Which increase the posibility of him being CCS|Syaoran, since he is from Yuuko’s dimension ; which would also explain why Clamp took the pain to put a scene where Yuuko’s talks about Sakura’s staff in vol1ch02 (and express her disgust for Clow Reed too :P), which would be totally useless if it wasn’t to be used further in one of the 2 mangas (TRC or XXXHolic), but Clamp made it CLEAR from the very start, that they were all from the one and same world 🙂
LikeLike
(3)Let’s be honest now : Clamp went too far, there’s no coming back…they made clear that :
– He is a blood relative of Clow : Clow|Syaoran is the clone of Clow Reed’s descendant,”Syaoran”
-The magic circle : the symbols beneath his feet are the same one as Syaoran Li’s + the ying Yang thing that’s representing Syaoran’s heart
-Fighting techniques + the same name of attaque (raiteishourai!)
-The same sword
No matter if there’re great mangakas (they are!!Clamp!!Kyaahh!! XD XD XD), how are they going to explain who this Syaoran is? And as I wrote before in another post (in chapter 122) —> If he really isn’t CCS|Syoaran, then…it means that he is “just” yet another Syaoran from who knows which dimension? Furthermore, we see him since the very first volumes of the manga, there MUST be something big about his existence and the fact he is the “original” Syaoran : I don’t think that after making him appear everywhere in the manga, Clamp are just gonna say : “well, here comes another Syaoran from XYZ dimension, who is related to yet another Clow Reed”, that’s all…and then what? add 1 or 2 volumes to tell us about that Syaoran story and how he ended up cloned and sealed on a tube for years? It’s just seems to be too much for me…
But I will be 100%honest, there’s ONE thing I can’t say anything against : it’s about this letters and phone calls things in the end of volume 12 of CCS. I sincerely have no explaination for this one.

I find it funny how everyone was like “kyaaaa~ X! Kamui!” at the beginning of this arc, but Kamui (and all the residences of X world) have been ignored for a while. Well, I can’t really blame anyone since the main purpose of this arc seems to be Syaoran. (btw, what happened to Fuuma and his cyclegang? And the mandatory Fuuma/Kamui angst? T~T)

LOL ! But true XDD That’s life xD Same thing will happen to Subaru when he appears ^^”

One word to describe this chapter: unbelievable! Chibi-Yuuto, you are SO right! He is Li Syaoran from CCS, but with powerful moves with the sword included. When this happened, I got hyperventilated and surprised to see that! He will be okay after that stab in the leg by the other Syaoran, he is a tough guy after all. Of course the other Syaoran was not going to kill Sakura-hime, she is too valuable for Fei Wong Reed (and perhaps for himself). Poor Sakura-hime, all devastated and shocked to see that. We feel your pain, girl.
About time that Kamui did something other than standing there even if it wasn’t that much. Hisashiburi on Subaru that he talked again. I say that the book will end and begin of the awakening of Subaru. Probably Seishirou will show up on book 17.
Talk about the drama on the last pages! For those saying that the other Syaoran shoved the feather to Sakura-hime, you may be wrong. How can he be shoving the feather to her if his left hand and arm is holding her and the Hien and the right one is injured by Kurogane’s throw. Anyway, I find that a little “Like Whoa!” that they so close to each other (Hyuu-Hyuu for that!).
Can’t wait for Chapter 124 to unveil next week. (Sore wa tanoshisou!)
Thank you for the scans, Chibi-Yuuto! (Hontou ni arigatou gozaimasu!)

I believe it’s really CCS!Syaoran, but there are still lots of people who are in denial. And we should respect them since truly, there hasn’t been any official confirmation, it’s all still speculation, even if it’s strongly based spectulation ^^

First off, they’re -twelve- at the end of the series, so according to your theory (which is mistaken), they’d be 14 in the second movie, when Sakura’s actually in Grade 6 during that timeframe. Second of all, Tomoyo clearly states at the beginning of the second movie that it’s been -four- months since Syaoran left for Hong Kong.

That’s from the movie, for reference to TRC you should use the manga. It’s been a good while since I’ve read it, but I do know that Sakura was in middle school when he returned from Hong Kong.

Yes, she was. She has a different uniform.

Uh, I know it’s from the movie, I was replying to the now-deleted post.
“Erm. CCS Syaoran came back to Japan when he was 13 years old in the second movie. It was supposed to be two years after he left Japan at the end of Episode 70. Unless you’re talking about the manga…? O.o I know he came back older in the manga… but are you talking about that? or the series? *has studied CCS for years right down to the specifics xD*”

Deleted post = Confusion. Thanks for the clarification. ^_^

There’re 4 months between episode 70 and the movie 2.
As for the manga, there’re an ununconfirmed number of years between the moment he left and came back again.

>I think I’m going to like “grimly determined, quasi-soulless” clone!Syaoran. Also, finally an element of disturbing innuendo has been added to the feather shoving/Sakura fainting bit. Nice. (If Syaoran starts licking her tears, though, I’m so done with this series.)
LOL to that one! (refering to the parenthesis) It’ll gross out everyone if that ever happens. It will be twice as freaky as he tried to bite Fai’s eye out. I also agree with you about liking the other Syaoran, all heartless and a cold intent to complete his task.

I’m just thinking, “Poor Sakura.” She still doesn’t remember Syaoran that she grew up with at all, right? So she just woke up one day to realize she had next to no memories with this trio of guys taking care of her and dragging her world to world. One, Syaoran, is kinda hell bent on protecting her and its bleedingly obvious he’s crazy about her. Then…evil clone…feather/rape scene…
I’m so disturbed. I still want CCS!Syaoran to be off and happy in his own happy world with CCS!Sakura. What would be cool would be a brief visit to that world and seeing Tomoyo, Eriol, and Kero-chan. I’d love to know what a Sa/Sy child would look like. Besides, explaining about this massive leg scar he’d have now? Have fun telling Sakura about that, Syaoran.

I always thought Sakura was very similar to Kotori. Since I have nothing against Kotori (I know, I’m the only one in the world xD), I have no problems with Sakura looking like her lately.
But CLAMP is really teasing Sakura lately, but she’ll never get the same sad end of Kotori. In that way, she’s stronger.

Uh, you are not the only one who is late, chibiyuuto. grr, damm work…
Well, is a relieve to have tsubasa, better than ever. that fight was great! and clone-syao looks so gdm cool. I got to say that i like him even more now.
I also believe that real-syao is ccs-syao, just because clamp got the oportunity to use those misterious words from that time. i wonder if they were thinking in to use syaoran for another story since then.
I´m not upset cause sakura is such a usseles girl now, because, while ccs was runing, i never like her protagonism, and in fact, i whish syaoran li will have more relevance. I´m really glad that in tsubasa he is the main chara.
Oh, and i´m sooo happy with that sexual connotations in last chapter. that´s something i don´t like about some clamp works. i know that this is their style, and fans are happy with that, but real love implies a lot more physical needs than a simple kiss.
Well, now, to eat my nails till next chapter. thanks for your great job, chibiyuuto
