Chapter 120
Pikari:
--- Quote ---Ok, that does clear things up, but here's a very important question now! How was Syaoran repressed before they went on their journey?! You figure he was in Clow Kingdom for at least 7-8 years, and even if Real Syaoran gave him his heart, it couldn't possibly sustain him for that long. I really need to know what Yuuko did! It's pretty obvious that she did something to repress him!! How can it be 2 weeks now?! I have to know what happens!!

I think Yuuko's speech at the beginning of this chapter kind of explains that. Clone Syaoran didn't need repressing at first because his heart was full strength. But as the Syaoran in the tube started to regain his power to be able to break free, his heart began returning to him, leaving the clone with less to repress himself. The stronger real Syaoran got, the weaker clone Syaoran's heart became, letting his 'instincts' break free. That's my guess, at least. It is a bit confusing. Or perhaps searching for Sakura's feathers triggered his 'clone instincts' even more than it would have in Clow?
Hmm.. oh, and I wanted to add a note about the translation, since I see so much speculation going on. o_O Japanese has no plural... so when Syaoran says "sono me" ("that eye(s)") it could be either one or both. But I just thought one made more sense the way his hand is in the picture, and because I have the feeling Syaoran wouldn't have just taken one if he could have had more power from both. (Assuming he *did* take just one.) *watches the fangirls scream again and laughs* XD
But CLAMP has a thing for one-eyed characters. It's actually getting kind of old at this point... o_O;
selenityshiroi:
If he took both then Clamp has broken the 'steal one eye froma bishie' trend...
Nah, not gonna happen! I wonder who will lose an eye in Legal Drug if they ever get round to completing it? :grin:
Jeannette:
*hugs Pikari* ^_^ Thank you for the translation and scanlation. Jeez, I missed all the spazzing and crack. T_T And yeah, the eye thing is cool, but getting a bit old. And jeez... Fai KNEW?! I'm still trying to take that in.

That really surprised me too. All this time I though Fai was just a goof off that didn't take life seriously, but instead he was trying to hide his real attitude to protect Syaoran. This has made Fai pretty high in my book. What he did was truly couragous and brave. I will no longer say that I don't like Fai, and believe me, that's saying something because I hated Fai for the longest time.

Maybe Rikuo? I could see that.
I actually like CLAMP's eye fetish. It's kind of fun as a reoccuring motif. (Someone's gonna kill me now, aren't they?)
