Chapter 126

[mellie]

The reasons I'm iffy about the spoilers are really that

Show content

1. How could anyone see it this early?
2. Yuuko implied that Fai would refuse to feed at first. I'm kinda thinking that Fai is just going to deprive himself of it. (Though, admittedly, maybe he'll refuse but occasionally be taken over by the need to feed? Or something?)
3. Subaru seemed to think Fai needed to sleep. Since Subaru's all "this was my fault, woe", I don't think he'd mislead them or neglect to mention such a significant potential side-effect. Nor would Yuuko, I think (though if it turns out to be true, Kurogane's gonna be all pissed that JUST when he was starting to trust her she omitted something like that XD). So I think that, while a Fai!attack is not completely out-of-the-question, I don't know if it will be needed this soon.
4. Didn't Fai just drink blood? Would he need more so soon (or was that bit of blood just a taste, since more of it seemed to splash down his face anyway?)

I agree with you on the first 3, but as for the 4th:

It seems common in vampire lore that when one is changed, the first instinct once waking up is the instinct to feed. The first taste of blood induces the change, and is not seen as feeding blood. I don't know how much vampire lore CLAMP knows, and I don't know if this is common in Japanese vampire manga, as I haven't actually seen vampires in manga get changed, but it could possibly me that.

I think part of the problem with the spoilers is the verb usage. Attack implies hate or anger.

I put the spoiler tag just in case. ^_^

I am both dreading and awaiting the Tokyo arc in the anime. It is going to be ABSOLUTELY HORRIBLE, but if they do keep in any of the things that are even mildly dark or intense, I'd really like to see how well Daisuke Namikawa and Tetsu Inada do. It shall be a test on their skillz, to be sure.

Something that just occured to me while reading your discussion: why's the blood gone? *mimicks Jack Sparrow* There was a certain amount of blood running down his cheeks and chin in the last page of 125, so why aren't there any stains or traces in this one? Not that I'd care that much, it's just a little confusing.

I'm sure they'll do just fine! Ater all, Japanese VA's belong to the best in the world, they probably are the best. And up to now, I've never been disappointed by a Japanese seiyuu, so I'm really looking forward to that scene. (Let's hope they don't screw up the X arc, though chances are small.)

Because Clamp is bad with knowing where their blood is.  I remember one scene in X where Seishirou puts his bloody hand on Subaru's cheek, he takes it away and there's no blood on that side of his face.  Same as when he was smoking a cigarette with a bloody hand and there was no blood on the filter afterwards.  It's one of their inconsistencies.

I've heard a few seiyuu that have been only okay, which can be disappointing depending on what kind fo character they're voicing, but I don't think I've come across any that have been actually bad. I just hope they'll be able to pull it off, is all.

Edited because I don't like the smilies. D:

[envyofthestage]

I think that Fai would attack Kuro --not out of anger or hatred-- but because he'll be hungry. Like out of his mind, someone said something about the survival instinct? Yeah, I think it'll be something like that. He won't really know what it is that he's doing so there won't be the whole 'ahh nooo I' can't drink the blood' angst/drama at that point. But afterwards, and he's seen that he's hurt Kuro-pon they'll be so much angst our heads will blow off and then he'll refuse to drink or something along those lines.

Hrmm....

[Tricky]

Ok, we all know there has been a TON of plot development lately and a TON of action, but another feather just showed up.
I'm thinking it may be too soon for FWR and C!Syoaran to make a move agian, but I really wouldn't be surprised at much of anything at this point int he manga. (Look at how much its changed.)
So? Thoughts? Who do you think will get this feather...?
*sigh* Are we EVER going to leave this world?

[Emiko]

I'm hoping that Fuuma's there to offer the feather in exchange for something. Though if the spoilers are true, the group might be there for a while longer.

I agree....
Fai gets his eye back at the end of the story(it ends in Kuro's Japan), and Tomoyo sends Saku and Syao back to Clow.

Fai: Well, it seems I got my eye back. I guess me and Mokona can head off to the next world.
Kuro: Umm, actually, Tomoyo-hime wanted to play with the manjuu for a while, so you'll just have to stay here for a little while.
2 weeks later
Fai: Princess Tomoyo just told me that it was fine if Mokona left. I guess...
Kuro: Ummm, actually, the diviners said today was a bad day for inter-dimentional travel...
Fai: *Glomps Kuro*

Yup, that's how it goes down!

I love that idea, it would be funny.

[Tatasenko]

i was wondering what was the color of the bandeau that Real Shaolan gave to Kurogane so as to cover Fai's left eye...



is it black or red?
because if the bandeau is red,it can be view as the symbol of  "the red string",which means love 

[ttxdragon]

i think it's black...
just because i can't imagine R-Syaorans suite being red or the suit being black, but the band there being red....

the suit should be (incl. band) completely black

[Spoonful]

It's black. Real!Syaoran's been featured in color pages before, and you can see that it's black. (Think he showed up in the ch. 100 color pages.)

EDIT: Er, or not. Turns out you can't see it very well in the ch. 100 color pages. Either he's in some other color pages or I'm deluding myself, either of which are possible. Maybe it was black in the anime or something. Dunno. But I'm pretty sure it's black.

[Sailor Yue-chan]

ano...still no sign of Pikari's translations?

o well,.

i think the bandana is black. its black in the anime, but we cant fully TRUST the anime now, CAN we <_<

I have one things to say, my impresion of some epidodes ago of the anime... "WTF the did to Ashura-ou?!?! is that lipstick?!?!!!..." does that answered your question?

actualy, if you look at it, giving ashura lipstick in the anime made matters worse. its OBVIOS he;s more masculine... even an 8 year old woud see that. (flat chest, size 13 feet, sword fighting style) so giving "him" a frilly type dress and lipstick turned him into a crossdresser, which is a tad more unatural then a  (for lack of a better term) yaoi relationship

check out chapter's 109 colorspread. it's indeed black but it had a red FeiWong-ish  pattern (matching the one on Syaoran's clothes) before he got out from the tube

I fear for Kamui and Subaru's designs.  From what I saw of Seishirou, it doesn't look pretty.  The most faithful I've seen either of them animated is from the Clamp in Wonderland short, which was done by Madhouse.  We're not that lucky, sadly.  Although Lelouch in Code-Geass' looks almost identical to Kamui (Clamp did the character designs), I so wish he could be animated like that.



That is how TRC!Kamui should be animated, but we all know it isn't going to happen.

[Celesse]

It's plain black in this image  :O

Thanks.

They must've been embellishing a bit because in regular pages there is no pattern. xD

I fear for Kamui and Subaru too, *praying for a good anime!version of the vampire twins* god, I had wait so much to see Kamui animate again I hope He looks nice, first I hope that they keep him is his normal way, nothing about lipstick or something like that his eyes, I hope they let his eyes of his normal amathyst color (come one, he looks much gorgeous with his amathyst eyes than golden like the movie/anime) ans Subaru for his green eyes again, do not make hima girl damn it >_<

Those pcitures are great! even If we know that that is not going to happen I ope something close to that happen.
