X has an entirely different feel and theme than Tsubasa does, though. It's important to remember that Clamp is capable of both extreme violence and extreme fluff. Tsubasa is definitely more adult than Cardcaptor Sakura, but nowhere near as violent as X was. Tsubasa's only recently started to lean more towards X than CCS with the latest chapters, but it's still a far cry from X. So I don't think the fact that Clamp has killed off main characters before really justifies them doing so in Tsubasa.
There's no way Clamp will kill off S/S. They're popular characters that have already been established, so killing them off would only upset the fans. Kuro or Fai (both Kuro AND Fai if Kuro dies) is more likely, but frankly I don't see it happening. I can't picture Kuro getting himself killed when he knows and accepts that he's responsible for Fai's life, and a major point of Fai's emotional journey thus far has really been that he needs to start valuing and fighting for his life. (For the record, I don't think Fai's
suicidal, necessarily, he just doesn't have a strong desire to live. He wouldn't kill himself, but he wouldn't put up much of a fight for his life either.)
IF there is to be a death, I think it will be both Kuro and Fai, not just one of them. Especially now that their lives are directly intertwined, it's hard to imagine Kuro going on alone without Fai. Kuro and Fai are meant to be FOILs, from what I've gathered. Without one, the entire balance of the group itself would be skewed.
Yes. But I don't think anyone will die. That doesn't sound like a "happy" ending to me.
So, moving away from all the death-talk, what shall we use this thread for in comparison to the KuroxFai couple thread? Because, since it's canon (or, at least, a breath away from it) we don't really need to debate whether or not Kuro and Fai are going to get into each others' pants or not any longer XD
I guess we just use this thread for KF-related plot-discussion? Like, 'will they live in Nihon at the end', etc? 'Cause zomg, necksucking is just around the corner, guys. Hopefully.
