Show content Emaraude summoned the knights to kill her not save her
I think that, until now, TRC has been lighter. I dont think its Xish at all. Maybe slightly Tokyo Babylon but not X. It's closest to MKR maybe?
Biggest misunderstanding of them all - Real and Clone Syaoran.

--- Quote from: Aethelthryth on July 31 2006, 10:49 am ---I have another random thought...I've always wondered what exactly FWR's motives are...and sometimes it crosses my mind that MAYBE he's not the bad guy? You know, like Eriol in CCS? At first CLAMP made it like he's the bad guy, then in the end, he actually isn't. I don't read CLAMP's other manga, except for CCS & Magic Knight Rayearth. I don't really remember how's the end of Rayearth, but wasn't it something unexpected as well?
But then again, maybe CCS was a light manga and TRC might be a darker one (like X?), so maybe there will be some nasty bad guys...after all, there is a lot of blood already...

True. Sometimes, I would think that but let's not forget... FWR killed someone, right? Also, trapping R!Syaoran in the tube for seven years and creating his clone. >_> Even though, I think his dream might be something he considered "good" but to us, it's more dangerous than "good". Also, he killed his "failed creation" (sadly) for transporting R!Syaoran.
As for FWR's motives... We know he wants those feathers which ultimately act like some sort of "key" to open up something below those Clow ruins. FWR's "dream" though is said to be "impossible" by Clow Reed, himself.
So far, CLAMP has already made a twist in their TRC story but expecting another twist would be no surprise for me. ^_^ Haha.. Very true for many of CLAMP's endings. MKR, CCS, Clover (?-a little bit, maybe), etc.  Angelic Layer was predictable though so it doesn't really count.  X was a little twisty for me, but, I can't fully judge until the rest of X has been published in tankoubon form.

I'm still hoping for old!Subaru. It would be weird seeing him and Kamui the same age. I'm so use to Subaru being like his big bro. Plus I'm still hoping that Kamui isn't the twin and the twin is Hokuto. *misses her*
As for twists I don't think we've seen the end of them in TRC. Best twists still goes to RG Veda IMO. It's like Show content*TWIST* Ashura is evil, but okay because there's still Taishakuten who's evil. *TWIST* Taishakuten isn't evil he just did evil things for Ashura-ou and to keep the God of Destruction from awakening. *TWIST* Ashura kills himself to save Yasha. *TWIST* Kujaku sacrifices his own life to awaken Ashura once more. THE END.

It's kinda Xish with arms being ripped off, eyes being lost and swords getting jabbed through body parts but you're right it's still pretty tame compared to X.

Oh god, the RG Veda plot twists. I think they broke Yasha's mind before they even got to the second one. Poor man. (And that's not to mention the rest of the cast. Show contentKisshou-ten and Bishamon-ten? Kujaku's past? The old Tentei? Kendappa's loyalties? The cannibalism?) ...<3.
There should be some kind of scale for measuring darkness v. fluff in CLAMP works. TRC has been edging more towards the dark lately, but it hasn't reached top levels (like X or RG Veda) yet. I'd also say it's at a Rayearth-like level overall, though Rayearth didn't get this gory. TRC's mood isn't really consistent throughout, so it's harder to measure.
duchessa:
so now apparently someone posted a spoiler for chapter 124...

Its said that it was translated from a japanese blog. Is it possible to know before Wednesday??? O_O
But if these are true, then the floating theories of the group spliting up is spot on!. :D
