Chapter 133

[envyofthestage]

Maybe, it could be that Fai can't die...or rather won't let himself die (just likeSyaoran) because there's something he has to do first...i.e. Be loved.

I can't find words to describe how much I absolutely loved this O-O

[Michigirl]

does anyone have a full size pic of the splash page? with great image? please?

[Emiko]

Wait, what? There's actually no chapter next week? Where did everyone see this? This is what I got off chibiyuuto's journal:

10/11 - Shonen Magazine #45 - Chapter 132 (on sale).
10/18 - Shonen Magazine #46 - No Tsubasa scheduled.
10/25 - Shonen Magazine #47 - Chapter 133 - 3 color pages, beginning of tank 18.
11/01 - Shonen Magazine #48 - Chapter 134.
11/08 - Shonen Magazine #49 - Chapter 135.
11/15 - Shonen Magazine #50 - Chapter 136.

Did Clamp change the dates around or something? 'Cause it wouldn't be the first time.

Kawaii Chapter! I think that Fei Wong dream is to bring someone back to life. And Fai...Poooooooooooooooor Fai!

[edit: i tried to upload the pic but imageshack is hanging up on me.. anyway that pic is from pg 13 of this chapt]

that long haired guy holding onto the bars is fai?!?!?! when i first saw it i thought it was chii and fai was thinking about what is happening to chii back in his country.. it's weird for chii to keep saying "i want to die i want to die" anyway..

ok it just looks weird.. but it seems everyone think it's fai so it shall be fai.. long haired fai

[KratosAurion]

woot finally I could read this chapter! There's a couple of things I've been wondering about:

1) what's so special about Kurogane and Fai? why did FWR choose them for the journey and not someone else? My guess is because Tomoyo and Fai are two of the very few people that can cross dimensions, otherwise it seems more like he picked them randomly or something..

2) who the hell is Watanugi? ^^. Sorry for my ignorance, but I haven't watched xxxHolic yet. does anyone bother to tell me a bit about this guy and his relationship with R!Syaoran?(of course i'd be best without spoiling, cause i'm planning to read xxxholix in the future)

3) what does Yuuko mean by "For the sake of two futures"?

[Zettai daijoubu]

^ yesh.. i've been wondering about yukko's "two futures" too! maybe she means Watanuki (a character in xxxHolic) and Syaoran's future?.. since Syaoran said "thank you" after Yukko said about the 2 futures i assumed so.. any other derivations?

anyway did anyone noticed that fai was holding out his third finger in the splash page?! xD

Well, Fai's profile and the kid in the cell's profile are pretty similar, so I think that's why we all think it's Fai. Plus the way the hair is drawn is very reminiscent of Fai's hair.



>_> Darn automatic re-sizing! It looks more convincing at normal size: http://i34.photobucket.com/albums/d146/treesbleed/comparison.jpg

We don't know much about Watanuki's relationship with Syaoran at all, only that he [Syaoran] paid to help him out with something before the story even started (exactly what I won't say so as to avoid spoilers ^_^) Watanuki doesn't seem to know anything about Syaoran save that he appeared at Yuuko's shop and is travelling dimensions, since he was there in the background when everyone arrived at Yuuko's shop and saw the whole thing.

He can see spirits. He works for Yuuko in exchange for her eventually granting his wish, which is to not see spirits any more. He goes on missions for her and cleans and cooks around the shop, essentially. He's like her slave XD

And as for 'the sake of two futures'... I think Yuuko might have meant the future of the group and Watanuki's future (perhaps him AND some of the other Holic characters?), since he seems to be connected more directly than we originally assumed

Znuese!!thats awsome!!
i really like that!!you deserve a cookie!!
the colouring....makes me crazy!!!
coz...it is tooooo beautiful!!!!! >_<

[Zettai daijoubu]

oh yesh! the image i was trying to upload was Znuese's image!!! the one with that long hair guy and hair.. so we can assume that fai has long hair in the past when he was trapped in that cell?! and why was he trapped in that cell?

I think chapitre 134 will tell us....i fell really sorry for him...poor little Fye... TT_TT

It should also be mentioned that Clow knew about Watanuki, Yuuko had made a comment on how both of them thought he was a good child.  Also when she's talking about the two Mokona's it shows Syaoran/Sakura and then Watanuki.  He's tied to Clow somehow or another, on that I'm pretty sure.Yuuko said that him and Syaoran have a close tie, but as of now we don't know what that tie is.

One final tidbit, Sakura and Watanuki both have the same birthday, April 1st (his name is even written that way).

I think it's all lies when they say you can read one of these series and be fine, to get the whole picture reading both is rather necessary.

I guess you're right, I'm completely lost about this Watanuki thing. Myabe i should rush and download the first chapters of xxxholix >.<

Chibi-Yuuto has clean raw scans out at The Room of Requirement.

A couple more thoughts-

(Slight spoilers for Clover) - a few people on LJ have mentioned the parallels between Fai and Suu in Clover, how they both apparently were locked away because people feared their power; and, if you go with the theory that Fai says that he wanted someone to love him before he died, they share that in common too. Appropriate, then, that Fai so fell in love with Oruha's song.

Also, I think I'm the only one thinking about the parallels between Fai being held captive and Syaoran being held captive. xd

Hmm, well, this is what Mokona says:

"There are two types of memory. What the conscious mind remembers and what the body remembers. The conscious mind is very important, but the body is really important too. Sometimes when the mind forgets, the body remembers for it."

There is a diference between her body repeating the actions it once took and making memories of the world she's been in, but they clearly both fall under the 'body memories' concept Clamp introduces here, which is really what I meant. All in all, the scene was definitely foreshadowing for the explanation in this chapter. (Besides, even if she's asleep, she's still experiencing being in that world, isn't she?)

They way Mokona explained "body memories" in volume 9 made it sound like everyone has these two types of memories.....is it these memories combined with a different power in Sakura that makes her FWReed's target?
