Chapter 123

[Sailor Yue-chan]

FINALY we get to see some angsty fai. even if he says it with a bitter smile, ie wont be like his "normal" smiles, he hasnt worn his mask since they returned from that hunt in the desert.

heh. because of this spoiler, the hope for kuro-fainess in the next chapter has healed me of thecurse beetrain did when they abused the kuro-fai theme of season one "Kaze no Machi he" ^_^

[Yersi Fanel]

I want marshmallows!!!.... And Finally See Subaru, plus more Kamui

[Kjesta]

I want Marshmallow toooo *jumps up and down* One day to go, guys, woohoo!

No I do not believe that, that would be silly. My thoughts were based on wondering if it was his magic or he was more like a conduit for a "universal" magic, made to his own (and therefore also making it different from say Yuuko's or FWR's) but springing originally from the same place as does all the other witches' and wizards' magic.  When I said the spoiler material did not make sense to me, I was purposing the latter; thinking that the eye would act then as the conduit for Syaoran (

even if Fai was not alive anymore

) but that the magic would not (and did not actually from the scene of C!'s sword and Mokona) come from Fai but from whatever spiritual plane the "magic enhabits" as an entity by itself.
I think it is too much fantasy-reading that makes me reason along certain lines - it can be both positive and negative.

Hm, I see your point. Could be true, yes. But let's wait and see. Wah, I'm so excited about finally getting some good and long explanations! *looks meaningfully at CLAMP*

this acurs to me about the spoilers for BOTH mangas
[spoiler=possible holic-tsubasa crossover?]in holic, watenuki and doumeki have been collecting special well water (its heagvier than reguular water). in the next chapter of holic, doumeki's grandfather is suposed to be in it. remeber in vol 8, there was a special ritual written by doumeki's grandfather to "retreive a lost eye" it said "Washing the affected eye during a full moon night with water from a well ... " [before the book worm ate the rest of the book. now, since doumeki;s granfather is going to be in the nexct holic chapter, perhaps its to tell the ritual.
 ritual+special well water=solution for retreiving fai's eye from clone syao.

does that make sense?[/spoiler]

Makes a lot of sense.  It's not like it's the first time that the Tsubasa gang has used something that was Watanuki's handiwork.  The ball that they used to break that spell was actually the monster thing from the 100 ghost stories, not to mention that they ate his food for Valentines day.  The only person who would know how to retrieve an eye would be his grandfather, that stupid bookworm ate all the words that said how to do it (which came from where?  Himawari's book?).

It's a very interesting theory, and it would make sense, but if I remember rightly the whole ritual was retrieving an eye taken by a spider...Unless Syaoran grows four more appendages by tomorrow, I don't know if the idea is plausable.

...It would kick a** if it was though XD

ah. forgot that part  >_O

but maybe doumeki's grandfather knows of other ways to reterive lost eyes? cuz in holic, we have no idea why watenuki had to colect 12 jugs of "heavy" well water,[isnt 12 a magical number? ]and its curious why doumeki;s grandfather would be showing himself again. he WAS a high preist, so he must know SOMEthing that could help :-S

Didn't Doumeki's grandfather write the book?  If so maybe he has the eye part memorized.  Or know where to find another copy of that spell.

[Kjesta]

Guys, is it already Wednesday at yours? Here it's still Tuesday. I can't wait for tomorrow! Chapter 124, hyuu!

[Meowzy]

Nah, it's still Tuesday here. And I'm in Greenwich time, I think.
One more day till Chapter 124!

[Airashii]

*breathes in-breathes out*  OMG!! I just read that suppoused spoiler and I was like wow!! But something doesn't add up,

in it Fai makes us try to understand that he wants to die, because then will Syaoran's magic will die, but Fai doesn't die very easily. He said so in the Del Rey adaptation vol.3 page 144, when they are in Koryo. What if he asks the witch to kill him or something! 

.

BTW, chapter 124 will be out on wednesday, no? Well, here in Puerto Rico it's already wednesday!

Hm, that one made me wonder too. In Germany, the translated it (approximately) like this: "It's not you don't die, you can't die at all." That made me believe Fye was immortal for quite a long time.

[Meowzy]

Really? I have the German version. I'll look it up!

Edit: Kurogane: Wenn das so weitergeht, werden wir wohl sterben.
Fai: Da hab ich ein problem. Denn ich kann vorerst nicht sterben.

Vorerst means yet, right? I can't die yet?

[Kjesta]

Oooh, you speak German? Verstehst du, was ich hier schreibe? XD

[Emiko]

;_; I thought Tsubasa was supposed to have a happy ending.

[Meowzy]

Oooh, you speak German? Verstehst du, was ich hier schreibe? XD

Natürlich verstehe Ich das. ^_^
I'm Dutch, but since I live so extremely close to the German border, German is like my second language. Though I'm better at English... ^^'

Anyway, back to the chapter! ^^'
Happy endings aren't always a necessity.

[Airashii]

;_; I thought Tsubasa was supposed to have a happy ending.

Me too, but the way I see it I doubt it! I don't want Fai to die, nor Kurogane, nor C/Syaoran, nor Sakura!

But when I read vol.1, when Touya and Yukito were taking, I get my hopes up. You see, they say that Sakura and Syaoran are destined for each other. I hope it's true!  

[Kjesta]

Of course Tsubasa will have a happy ending! Who said Fye is really going to die? I don't think Kurogane would let that happen, wouldn't he?

@Meowzy

Heh, das ist cool ^.^ Ich dachte immer, du kämest aus Amerika oder so, wie die meisten hier im Forum. Aber - jippieh! - ich bin wohl doch nicht die einzige Europäerin hier ^_^

Yeah, I hope that Tsubasa will have a happy ending, but Clamp pull so many unexpected strings that one cannot predict what could happen!

Kurogane will probably save Fai somehow.. But if Sakura and Syaoran will actually end up together... Hmm... It's debatable.

@ Kjesta: Kuro-puppy ist auch noch ein Europäer. ^_^
