TRC 143 + XXXHOLiC 129 !

They are already at the Room of Requirement since yesterday night, but I was too tired to comment.


Tsubasa:

In spite of most people, I liked the splash page xDDD But this motif is getting over-used already……

So Sakura had a secret conversation with Yuuko, as we have expected. And TRC now has what was missing to be a complete CLAMP work: Someone who had a vision of the future and now wants to change it xD

Just like her CCS-counterpart, this Sakura can also see the future, sometimes. She always had this ability but since she lost her memories that power was “sleeping” inside her. From what I could get, the vision concerned everybody, but specially Fye?

Yuuko’s expression during the conversation is worth mentioning, too. She has that “…she finally found out, there’s nothing I can do about it now” look on her face. Because she was the one who told Sakura that in this country she would be able to get the power to cross dimensions alone.

Now… is it really dimensionS? I know Eagle said the power is limited, but did I get right or is it limited for only ONE world? O.o If that is so, it would be such a desperate act for Sakura ! And now I’m even more sure that her decision wasn’t a selfish one.

What’s more, Eagle says that “she” will be able to bring Sakura to another world…. I wonder how? *scratches head*

I love Sakura in that dress ! She looks so pretty ^__^ It also reminds me of the dresses Chii wore in Chobits ^^

Then we have more S/S moments, very cutey ! But she acts so cold with him, the last page is very pretty! ^^

She doesn’t seem like she’s giving up with her decision at all. Which makes me think that the tube scene might be caused by this desperate Sakura who once got caught by a smart Fei Wang during her traveling-alone adventures, and her prince Syaoran came to rescue her, of course xD

XXXHOLiC:

Yuuko is in the splash *-* With a lovely butterfly tattoo~~ xD

XXXHOLiC’s timeline is finally up-to-date with Japan’s now, as they are now in winter again.

Ever since episode 5 of the XXXHOLiC anime, it is no secret that I love little oden Foxy and Papa Fox X3333 I mean, I liked them before, but that episode made me see them in a different light.

Little oden Foxy is the cutest thing of the entire XXXHOLiC series XDDDD I love how he says FOUR “ano”s in the same balloon XDDDD And I love when his tail gets all spiky XD

I didn’t get what was going on entirely, but it involved the little Foxy’s paw appearing in the middle of thin air while making a delivery? XD And then Watanuki felt pity for him having to walk around in such a cold weather so he made little gloves for him? I desperately need a translation XD

Anyway, this chapter was the cutest thing EVER XD

Does the fact that Doumeki could also see the foxes have any significance?

No fair, the foxes always get only one-chapter long arc, they deserve more attention u.u

  2. ZOMG! Thank you!!!
    Ok, doesn´t Lantis looks like Yasha in the panel of the second page?… XDDDD

    >I love Sakura in that dress !
    ME TOO! Now tht we can see it clearly is gorgepous *___* …I´m not sure about the hat though… But at this point of the plot Sakura is becomming finally such a loveable character… maybe that “your fan base depends proportionally of how angsty you are” is true xDDDD

    And Holic: I love when Wata gets scared like that, he gos so histeric I love him XD
    Yuuko´s hair got me “OOOOH…” O.O In a second look it looks like bunny ears xDDDD

  3. I too love Sakura’s dress XD it will have its own fanbase sooner or later, lol
    someone said earlier they weren’t sure about her ‘hat’, I believe its meant to be a headdress similar to those that are popular in the gothic lolita style in Japan. In fact, this whole phase CLAMP are going through right now seems highly inspired by it.

    Anyway… I feel so sorry for RSyaoran with her acting so cold like that ;__;

    thank you to you and ladydarkmoon 🙂

  4. But see, Doumeki has always been able to see and interact with youkai and high spirits. He already knew the little fox from the procession, which was youkai gallore. And I don’t think it’s the lantern’s work because he knows both of the warashi. What I don’t think Doumeki could see (pre-eyeball exchange, now he probably can through Watanuki’s half eye) are ghosts and maybe ayakashi. Maybe there are more things, but I don’t know.

    Like

    • Yes, I am aware of that. My point was that when Watanuki first met the Oden Fox, he said that not all human beings are able to see it. So that means Doumeki is special too, not that we didn’t know, though xD I was just wondering if this fact is going to have any other significance in the future or not…

  7. Translation is up @ me. 🙂 And little fox is indeed the sweetest thing ever, this story made me all warm and fuzzy! The gloves are soooo cute.

    TRC right now has too many open plot threads to base any commentary on, I just let myself be taken along for the ride at this point. My theorizing-ability is all KILLED DEAD. xDDD

    And Eagle talks about crossing *worlds*, not dimensions (which is kinda the same to me here, but let’s be specific), also the method he can grant is both random and the person can be only transported once. 🙂

    • >Translation is up @ me. 🙂

      The gloves were utterly cute ! They don’t mention but Watanuki must have made them, which is ever cuter ^^

      I know exactly how that feels ^^ Looking for feathers seems like a plot so far away now ^^”

      >And Eagle talks about crossing *worlds*, not dimensions

      Hahaha, yeah, that’s what I meant 😛

  8. in some forum in spanish they don’t get why the chapter is not out yet and i even read that there no more room of requirement because something happens!!!

      Tell them I apologize for any delay but that I always upload them as fast as I can =\

  9. Hmm.. This chapter almost seemed to be a let-down… Some things happened, but nothing terribly unexpected (and nothing putting us closer to Celes/Seresu/whatnot! Gyah!) However, this entire world, everytime I read (i use that term loosely…) a new chapter, i think “This reminds me of the clothing Chi wears…” haha

    Though, i do have to wonder… On the splash page, is there anything significant about the apple on one of the ‘branches’ in the backgroung? It just seems REALLY out of place… Or this just something that I’ve found to obsess about? haha ^^ Thank you as always!

    Like

    • Yeah, everything that keeps us distant from Celes is boring xDDD I think that reading the spoilers also ruined a lot of the fun =\

      >This reminds me of the clothing Chi wears…

      Haha !! Specially Freya ! ^__^

      >On the splash page, is there anything significant about the apple on one of the ‘branches’ in the backgroung? It just seems REALLY out of place..

      I noticed it, and it appeared on the Sakura/Syaoran splash page too o.o I could think of some significances for the S/S one (it’s the fruit of love, for example), but for Fye and Syaoran, no idea o.o

  11. i’m starting to think that sakura will actually leave. which makes me wonder if mokona has more control over his ability to choose where they go than mokona has been letting on. i don’t think they’ll all be apart for long, anyway.

    i loved the panel near the end of xxxholic when doumeki and the older fox are shown together with the same sort of “aren’t they so young” looks on their faces, it was really amusing to me. i love the foxes. and i really want oden.

    you know, i’ve always loved this icon, but now it really makes me laugh.

      I want it too! XD You know, everytime I watch that 5th episode of XXXHOLiC, I get so damn hungry XD

  12. Even if the splash pages are pretty, I miss the TRC pages that were sorta of random (you know, like one that shows Sorata and Arashi making takoyaki). Sakura’s dress is very cute; I think I like it more than the ones Chii wore.

    I love those oden foxes.

  14. This chapter is going to kill me…now I can’t guess what’s going to happen in Tsubasa.

    Specially that line “I will give you her. She will take you to another world”. My brain hurts… *__*

    Well, at least we know something “her” is so powerful, that she can the ability to cross dimensions. I’m not going to make theories again, but I keep with two candidates XDD

    Also, I’m not going to read spoilers; because all of them tell me that most of my weird dreams become true XDD

    Changing subject…

    xxxHOLiC again but it was a cute chapter. I love the gloves scene. However, something made me think: Watanuki just can’t see the little fox because he is still weak, or is because Doumeki’s blood is now working?. Doumeki can see the foxes because he can see with the half-eye that he gave to Watanuki, or something strange happen after the accident?

    O.K. now my brain doesn’t work…

    BTW, thanks for the cleaned scans. I got them since yesterday (you put them on the ROR, or I was drunk?), but it’s better to comment after you ^_^

    • >I will give you her. She will take you to another world

      What’s heeeeeer? @_@ Suu has those mechanical wings but…. can she travel across different worlds? Although, it would be SO awesome Sakura and Suu traveling together *-* She’s like Sakura’s big sister ^-^

      >Also, I’m not going to read spoilers; because all of them tell me that most of my weird dreams become true XDD

      Reading spoilers is REALLY “spoiling” me…. when the actual chapter comes, all the fun is almost gone because I already knew beforehand…

      As for XXXHOLiC, Watanuki could only see the foxy’s paw because the foxy wasn’t strong enough. Maybe the cold made him weak? That’s why he made him gloves? O.o I don’t know ^^;

      >you put them on the ROR, or I was drunk?

      Yes! I put them there on that night, but it was too late to post any comments ^^;

      Like

      • -What’s heeeeeer?

        I don’t know, many people it’s saying that “HER” is Mokona from MKR, and “her” is only the prize. Therefore, she is not going to fight.

        So, thinking on it, I have these:

        -O.K. sounds logic that “her” could be Mokona from MKR

        But then, this happen:

        -If it’s the same Mokona from MKR or really similar….Why in the hell a creator of many worlds can’t know in which world is going to arrive? PLEASE SOMEONE TELL ME +___+

        Why I said that? that’s because it’s very illogical. Just remember, the creator did:

        -5 different worlds
        -Each world with a different system of life
        -3 deities guardians

        SO, how it’s possible that with a lot of power, it can’t know the world in which it’s going to arrive? SOMEONE EXPLAIN ME *________*

        O.K. right now I don’t know: who is her? who could be her? what’s going to happen now?

        My brain doesn’t respond now O.o It did short circuit +____+

        -That’s why he made him gloves? O.o I don’t know ^^

        Could be, but simply, Watanuki is very kind ^^

        -Yes! I put them there on that night, but it was too late to post any comments ^^

        I knew it! At least I wasn’t too sleepy as I thought XDD

  15. Squee! > Slightly off that though, Watanuki’s smile on the bottom of Page 13 reminded me of Eriol sooo much.. *sweatdrop* Really, I can’t think of HOW they could be connected, and Watanuki isn’t really that Eriol-like, but he seems to become more so with each chapter. I can’t shake the feeling there’s something to it!

    As for TRC, I’m putting my bet in on ‘her’ being Suu for pretty much sure now. She’s the only one I can think of with that much power. Oh, and I love how Sakura have prophetic dreams – made me a bit nostalgic for CCS. XD

  17. Hello, chibiyuuto! oh, i also love the splash page. i´m sure that it´s Clone-syao, and he is always so cool.*-*. Clamp is making every chapter more sad than the previous, and i cant stand that look in real-syao eyes!! C´mon, sakura, stop beeing stupid and selfish!! despite that, i love her dress, i whish i have one like that… well, and also that squeeny figure of her.
    I whish “her” would be Suu, and i think is possible. I think that what sakura needs now is someone with common sense.
    You know, i buy a syaoran´s chess figure!! it´s lovely!!
    Well, thanks as always. see you.

    Then we have more S/S moments, very cutey ! But she acts so cold with him, the last page is very pretty! ^^
    yea i love that one too~ *is becoming a S/R!S fans now*

  19. Hey… I’m little late to post a comment here about TRC 143… Just as usual… Huahauaa… Anyway… I read paying a lot of atention… And I do agree now, sakura’s decision to travel through dimensions alone is not selfish… She foreseen something she didn’t like at all and really wanna do what the hell it is necessarily to avoid that… Now it’s to much sakura you know… She wanna protect the others… It’s the oposity of selfishness… I could understand a couple of thing now… Lol… I liked very much this chapter and I’m really anxious to read the next one..
    And I agree with the rest you said… Yuuko’s face… Desperate decision… And stuff…

    • Indeed her decision is not selfish at all. It’s hard to believe when it comes Sakura, like you said ^^”

      I was unsure whether she would stick with that idea until the very end, but now that we’ve seen WHY she want to go alone, I’m pretty sure she won’t give up on that decision.

      Thanks for your comment, Sorata-san~ ^^
