No splash page? For the first time in Tsubasa’s publishing history, if I’m not mistaken? However, something tells me that CLAMP will draw one for the tankoubon version.
Last week as most of you noticed, I got the wrong idea. Tokyo country is actually the past of Clow, and not the other way around. That way makes much more sense indeed. Sakura dropped the feather in the reservoir beneath Tokyo’s Metropolitan Building and that location became later the ruins of Clow country.
This time issues are very tricky and brain-frying, your brain gets stuck in a loop whenever we try to find a starting point, but I think that’s the biggest problem. There isn’t really a starting point, it’s like trying to answer the question of what came first, the chicken or the egg?
So this is the 15th feather? Please correct me if I’m wrong! Well, I’m not counting the ones that clone captured on his own, because we don’t know how many he got. But there’s at least one more feather left with Yuuko, the one that used to be Kohane’s. I wonder if FWR needs that one…
I wonder why this feather in particular is so special to what FWR wants to do. Unparalleled power? What does he mean by that?
And so we find out why he’s been doing all this. I mean, why it’s required to do everything he did so far. We know Fei Wang’s wish is to be able revive the dead, but that is impossible because it’s not logical. However, due to the power he obtained with the dimensions engraved in Sakura’s body, he can now break the “logic” that links all these dimensions.
By doing so, what’s illogical becomes logical and thus, it is possible to resuscitate the dead, HA!
Time to start guessing who Fei Wang wants to revive. Is it someone we know? Is it someone who’s not even dead yet? We never know now that we are dealing with past, present and future so close to each other. We barely know who Fei Wang Reed is, what time he lives and what’s his parenthood with Clow.
Last page shows the many worlds noticing something strange happening… are all worlds getting connected? So exciting!
Last week 16 pages, this week 14 pages, and a break now ;_;

Just had a thoroughly insane thought. Fei Wang is the future Watanuki, and he wants to revive his parents. OR YUUKO.
This lack of logic is not a good thing for me. Open too many possibilities up.

lol, that’s AWESOME! But I bet the one he’s trying to revive is Doumeki! After all, the old lady (who can see the future, she’s taking care of Kohane) said that his parents were alive, just in another dimension. And Yuuko will never die. She’s immotal. IMMORTAL!!! Don’t deny me my love!!! Yuuko’s so awesoooooommmmmeeee!!!!!!!
But I bet if Doumeki DID die, Watanuki would bring him back, “through his own power” like he’s saying now. He’s very, I can do it! Although if FWR WAS Watanuki, we would have a very “which came first, the chicken or the egg” situation, since it was because of FWR’s actions that Watanuki was even created. Although CLAMP seems to be doing that everywhere now so it would actually work quite well.
O.o I just had an absolutely INSANE, brain-breaking thought. FWR = future Syaoran! I don’t know why, I have no reasons, it’s absolutely STUPID, I know. If you say that, I’ll hunt you down. Hunt! But my brain has latched onto this idea and won’t let go. It has a grip like a vise!

Everything is possible. He’s old enough and he’s related to Clow… we don’t know if he lives in the past, present or future. He could definitely be the future of a character we know.

However
1. FWR was the only one so far to exactly predict what Syaoran would do, going as far as saying that he knows him the best.
2. FWR also stated that his and “Syaoran’s” wish is the same. Maybe even, literally, THE SAME wish?
3. Xin Ho(FWR’s black haired female sidekick killed by him in Tokyo) was a failed clone/creation in his attempts to recreate someone.
4. Xin Ho and R!Sakura were both featured on the same cover in mirroring similar outfits.
5. Xin Ho used Clow-styled magic circle when she sent R!Syaoran to Yuuko.
6. The name of R!Sakura is unknown too.
7. Both FWR and Syaoran are Chinese-motif sword-magician-type characters.
8. Both FWR and Syaoran have been constantly stating that they will achieve their wish, “no matter what”.
9. Syaoran went as far as to say “no matter how much time will it take, I will not stop trying”, when talking with Fai and Kuro in the Timeloop-Clow.
10. Thanks to Watanuki replacement, Syaoran is “outside of timeline he was born in, having been replaced by Watanuki there.

I don’t think FWR is Syaoran (the son) for the fact that FWR intended to kill Syaoran with Fye’s curse (who was used on Sakura instead, because she changed the future).
FWR wouldn’t kill his own past self, right?

I think the reason this feather is so special is because it’s lain in Clow Country/Tokyo for GOD knows how many years. Centuries I’d guess. So it represents “time” it’s stayed in one place for so long tat it’s become “engraved” with all “time” that’s passed. Just like how FWR said Sakura’s body has been “engraved” with the dimension it traveled to. So the feather is time and her body is dimensions, with the power of both he can turn everything topsy turvy!
You know, I kind of have a feeling we’re about to enter another brain-melting flashback, to explain all about FWR. For some reason I feel like he wants to revive Clow Reed. ZOMG! Secret yaoi lovers! No, no. Clow/Yuuko pwns that.
When I originally saw the page where FWR or Yuuko is talking about his wish (I don’t remember where it is! Sorry!) I thought the person was Yuuko. Because in that page, FWR and Clow are there in either corner, but it’s Yuuko in the center, and she’s surrounded by rings that seem to cage her. it made me feel like Yuuko is actually an extremely powerful spirit, one so strong that even normal people can see and interact with her. But she’s still dead, and her job is the only thing binding her to the world. Or maybe, I thought, it was metaphorical, where Yuuko “died” when she started that job, since she was now the all powerful witch of dimensions. I’d guess that job is her entire life, and she can have no one outside of it, that’s how it seems anyway.
But if the person he’s trying to revive is someone we know, I bet it’s Clow! Of course, FWR turns out to have a redeeming quality, because CLAMP is incapable of creating a purely evil character, they all have complicated facets and they’re own reasons for doing things. No one is “pure evil” and I like how they show that n their work. Everyone has a reason for the things they do.
ZOMG, this is a long post….

>For some reason I feel like he wants to revive Clow Reed. ZOMG!
I don’t think so. He clearly said once that Clow is no longer interferring in his plans because he’s dead, only Yuuko was. So he seemed happy that Clow was dead xD

I also think the same too!!! That FWR wants to revive Clow Reed!!!

To answer your question, let us turn to the expert on time and space. Who better to ask than a Time Lord? In the Tenth Doctor’s exact words, “People assume that time is a strict progression of cause to effect… but actually, from a non-linear, non-subjective viewpoint, it’s more like a big ball of wibbly-wobbly…. timey-wimey…. stuff.”

If FWR wants to revive Clow, what would his reasons be? I don’t know how long he’s been planning this whole thing, and it’s hard to come up with ideas since time on the different worlds flow differently. For instance, CCS!Sakura gave up her wand, and presumably her powers with it. Maybe FWR wants these powers, so he needs to revive Clow in order to accomplish this? How would Eriol and Fujitaka fit into this scheme? Apparently Yuuko’s known Clow for awhile, and knows him personally, and she’s always known about FWR’s scheme, so where would she fit in? There are too many freakin’ unanswered questions. I would shit bricks if Yue shows up. 😀 Ahh, that’s just my inner fangirl dreaming…
Speaking of inner fangirl, this chapter definitely looks promising for the completion of K/F/S/S subplot. Yaaa~y!

Well I guess according to what Mokona’s said, the feather that Sakura had left behind, of her own will, in order to keep the Tocho building safe from the acid rain until the people remaining in Tokyo can fix the structure of the world (like Yuuko had said). So the time, effort and memories put into mending the structure of the world, starting from there (since that’s where everyone is), probably made her feather that much more special. And also, it’s the country where Sakura, the one who owns the feathers, was born into.
As for predictions—if it’s not a woman (loved one perhaps?), then I’m gonna guess it’s Clow, only because I want to see what happens if he’s really brought back to life. Other than him, I can’t think of any other character in CLAMP history who we can relate FWR to, since we don’t know too much about him other than that he’s a Reed.

Hummm that is a very nice explanation about why the feather is so special, but I’m not sure if it’s convincing enough for me (I’m so picky XD)
