XXXHOLiC Manga Discussion (Spoilers may be present!)

[xxxholic]

thnks for the trans Z*_*

you wrote in the "page 2" that watenuki said "your father" it should probably be "your grandfather"

Yes. That's right. Thanks for the correction.

[Renaya]

thank you for the chapter link and translation!!!

Seriously, we do need separate thread for xxxHolic, so we can discuss the anime and manga separately...not jumbled up all together. Though it's kinda no problem here

Ah yes. Thanks. Please do that. Especially the "extracurricular classes". It should be "club activities". And the "ghost" should be spirits.

ANd also, the word "in the last page" is a sound. It's not a word by Himawari. It pronounces like "KONG". It's a sound a breaking glass. So it's the sound of the shattered glasses.

This chapter is crazy.... the fact that there is not xxxHolic next week is crazy... CLAMP can be so mean sometimes

I was so shocked after reading the chapter, I stared at the last page in disbelief for a while...Then I realized I had teared up... I just reread the chapter and I teared up again... I hope Watanuki lives... he has to, right? He doesn't deserve this >_<

[Rekall]

CLAMP is evil, lol.

It was sweet though how concern Doumeki was over Watenuki, wanting to make sure Watenuki waited for him after school once he found out the balloon was given away.  Those two keep on getting closer and closer; I agree with those who say the blood is probably Doumeki's.

[Chibi]

Wow, Clamp is EVIL. How dare they keep giving me these cliffhangers? First Tsubasa and now xxxholic!

OMG WATANUKI!!! I hope he's okay. I bet that evil Himawari had something to do with his falling.

Do you think that Watanuki should've had the balloon with him because it might've somehow helped him float and not crash down like that? Maybe it was this incident that Haruka predicted.

[zod]

Thanks for the translations.

Seriously, we do need separate thread for xxxHolic, so we can discuss the anime and manga separately...not jumbled up all together.

Sounds like a good idea so here's how it's going to go:

 XXXHolic Direct Episode Downloads - Use the Anime download thread to discuss the anime version of xxxHoLic.

Use this thread to discuss the manga version of xxxHoLic. Spoilers tags may be used but the word 'Possible Spoilers' will appear in the thread titles so if someone doesn't want to be forewarned, tread with caution.

I was linked to quite a wonderful xxxHOLiC theories site. ^^ THis is the theory that stood out the most, IMO

"Maru and Moro: Now here's a theory I read a while back in a discussion forum and I was suprised it didn't occur to me before! There are numerous similarities and connections between xxxHolic and Card Captor Sakura with the obvious one being Yuko and Clow Reed. HEAVY CCS SPOILERS! --> Now remember how Clow Reed split his soul in two and reincarnated himself as two certain people, well what if Yuko wanted to do the same should she ever lose her life and who would she want to reincarnate her soul into? Good thing she happens to have two little girls without souls running around the place.<-- END OF CCS SPOILERS Coincidence? Nup, preparation!"

http://www.casualsmirk.com/xxxholic/predictions.php is the site, if anyone wants to see it.

Haruka  (Doumeki's grandfather) told Watanuki they'd meet again in a dream.  Since Haruka can see the future, I'd imagine this means Watanuki will live. But oh the possibilities with this developement!  I can think of SO many ways this can go.

  1) Watanuki is seriously injured and causes some more character development between him and Doumeki
   2) Doumeki saved him and is the one hurt...and either causes Watanuki to connect more with him or
  3) Push him away in fear that Doumeki will end up killed like his parents did
   4) Doumeki dies and that's how Watanuki's wish is granted because Doumeki's death protects him in some way (not likely)
  5) Watanuki doesn't get seriously hurt but now KNOWS Himawari means serious bad stuff for him and maybe we finally learn just what she is

[Mimie]

yeah, i agree with lynalar (btw, good theories there) but from the looks of all those glasses i think someoe was seriously hurt. I mean, you can die from something like that!

I have a feeling, most likely, it will be number 2.

[selenityshiroi]

I don't think I've ever anticipated the next chapter of Holic quite so much.

Admitidly, I only caught up recently, but still...

Clamp need to quit with the week break cliffhangers.  They are EVIL.

Just found these Ch117 spoilers from here: http://clamp-hikari.livejournal.com/2590.html.  I have no clue how accurate it is.

in the darkness
Watanuki as a little kid crying: It hurts, I can’t move… Where are mother and father?
Father and mother reached for Watanuki with hands that are covered in blood.
Watanuki gets lifted but his glasses fells and shatters.
Parents extending their bloody hands: Sorry. We can’t be with you. Make you feel loneliness. Make you feel pain.
Parents: You’ll definitely meet. Can wait for you. So your future doesn’t 途切(Road ardently?). So don’t disappear. Our precious child. Another one of…
The arms disappear. Watanuki cries and chase after it but Haruka him.
Haruka: Made it. That person cannot go through dreams, but if not like this I wouldn’t be able to stop you. (Don’t ask me who) Next time let’s meet in a real dream.

Watanuki wakes up and finds Yuuko beside him. Coincidently Doumeki saw Watanuki falling from the 2nd floor and was going to call an ambulance but she stops him and told him to bring Watanuki to her shop.

Yuuko: Only a little bit and it’s going to be too late.

When Watanuki babbles about his price, Yuuko replied she already received from 3 people.

And Behind Yuuko, Himawari appears…

I can actually believe that being true.  [hurry up, Wednesday!]

His parents did die protecting him, remember the divination story?  I've always wondered what they were protecting him from.  I know it was a road accident, but the protect part always piqued my interest.

i wonder who the 3rd person who paid the price is?

[quimmy]

Well, Himawari's one, and Doumeki is most definitely the other one...Kohane-chan? That could be her purpose.

I've been wondering who the 3rd person was too and I have no clue.
