--- Quote from: Ando on September 01 2006, 09:45 am ---About the looks Sakura and Real Syaoran were exchanging... as others before me, I don't think it was love. It's possible that R Syaoran loves Sakura (though I mostly got the feeling of compassion and sympathy from the way he looked at her in this chapter), and it's possible that she will grow to love him, but this is quite the wrong time for romance, no? Sakura has just lost what little security she had found in her feelings for Our Syaoran, she has little to no clue what's going on other than that her precious person is now a cold-hearted stranger... To me, that look she gave R Syaoran screamed confusion, not attraction.
... Which leads me to the reason Sakura decided she did not want her feather. Someone argued that even though she may not wish for more memories of Syaoran, neglecting those of her brother and other important persons in her life as well would be selfish, and since that is very un-Sakura-ish, she probably acted like she did out of compassion for the Tokyo gang. I disagree. I mean, her most important person has been taken away from her in such a cruel manner - I don't reckon she's thinking about what kind of memory it is that she is giving up; at the moment, she simply doesn't care about retrieving her memories, she's overwhelmed with sorrow. Who would want to continue after going through something like this?
Let's hope she finds it within her to carry on soon. Even if she is pretty helpless and bleak in TRC, I still don't want sweet little Sakura-chan to suffer (even though I agree with those who say this has made her a lot more interesting)...
As for the two Syaorans, sure, they probably share the same "basic" character, but we must keep in mind that what kind of personality a person has also depends on enviroment, relationships... R Syaoran has the clone's memories, but regarding someone's life isn't the same as living it - having a fairly normal upbringing, and growing up in a tube must shape people, no matter how alike, differently, don't you think? So even if R Syaoran might be like the Our Syaoran in some (or even many, or most) aspects, I still see them as individuals, not two sides of a coin. The clone hasn't got any personality whatsoever, so he doesn't count.

Thank you so much for that, Ando, and I totally agree with you on that. :)
Becster:
I so badly want Real!Syaoran to have a personality. Our!Syaoran was okay, but he was so...dull.
I kinda want Real!Syaoran to be the kinda guy who'd headbutt the Queen of England, or stick your fingers in warm water whilst you're asleep...it'd be really funny if he was...
But, I doubt he will be.
Still, I enjoyed the focus on Sakura and Syaoran at points and I really hope that Sakura will become a stronger and more independant character now. I understand she needed someone to lean on due to her lack of memories, but it's been a while now and it could've been very easy for her to just keep leaning on the Syaoran she knew. Only now he's been torn away from her, she's faced with someone who is but isn't the Syaoran she knew so she's going to have a constant reminder of what happened with her at all times.
She needs to stand on her own two feet now - Kurogane is going to be preoccupied with making sure Fai's all right, Fai's a little too out-of-it to do anything anyway, and Mokona ...although it can try, it can't be as much of a comfort as a human being could be.
...Don't brick me for this; but I'm glad this has happened to Sakura. I can't wait to see become a stronger person because of it...which I can see happening already. I'm kinda proud of her. ^_^;

in chapter 126 evrybody were talking about Kurogane/Fai,and in this one there is only room for Shaolan/Sakura :haha:!
but i prefer it this way,we need a correct proportioning between this two couples,so as to avoid lassitude,jealousy,and frustration :okay:
about Sakura,i think that her break-up with Clone Shaolan was essential to make her evolve,because the fact that he isn't there anymore to protect her will force her to look after her herself,and so to gain more self assurance,maturity,and independence :surprised:...
of course real Shaolan will be there to watch over her,but she may keep her distance from him,because his presence will certainly make her suffer more than anything else,even if it isn't his fault :sweatdrop:

totally agree!!! i have this feeling that Sakura's uncomforatable with Real Syaoran.. it's either that she's not used to this Syaoran or she don't wanna be reminded of the Clow Syaoran.. maybe without the protection of Syaoran =, we can see more girl power!!!! like the Sakura of CCS.. ^^

I completely agree with what you said.
I think this was probably the best thing that could happen to Sakura because you're right she's going to grow from it and we'll now see her taking care of herself. Where before she would just rely on Syaoran even though she couldn't remember who he was.
