wow, this is COMPLICATED I personally think Seishiro is EVIL from what my tokyo babylon and X obsessed friend has told me, however, he's not totally evil in all of either series, and he taught Syaoran - kun how to fight in Tsubasa and all, it makes things REALLY messed up. I think he's either working for Yuko or the creepy black - clothed bad guys. He takes Sakura's feather? Thats wierd.. *bashes him* GIVE IT BACK!!!!!!!!! I think it would make sense if Subaru and Hakuto were the vampires he mentioned, I think maybe Vamp - subaru got his eye, and Seishiro needs to travel dimensions to find the both Subaro and Hokuto. Here's where I get confused, there's 2 possiblilites Yuko somehow is able to grant him his wish of dimension travel without mokona, in exchange he has to get Sakura's feather with the memories of Syaoran (remember, when they all "paid" she had Kuro -woof-woof's sword and Fai's marking, but there wasn't anyway for her to get the feather) He could then have somehow ended up in Oto and......*thinks* is CONTROLLING THE ONI TO GET THE FEATHER!!! which would explain why Oni attacked them the very first night in Oto.Or, he was the one who to tught Syaoran to fight, so attacking them with the Oni also could be his weird way of helping "strenghthen" Syaoran (kinda the teacher / pupil thing again, and from why I know of him, it seems like something he would do) it would also help him establish how big a threat our heroes are. Or he could be working for the bad guys, and tok the feather for them, so basically when we see WHO aside from Sakura has a feather after Seishiro takes it, we'll know who he's working/worked for. They're only up to #6 here in America (#7 comes out on oct. 25 !!!!!) Oto is a game world? I'm not totally suprised, it makes sense. The Oni "never attack ordinary citizens" kinda weird, they're demons why would they care who they kill? PLUS, now that I think of it, there's a weird similarlity between City Hall and a pokemon center. The girl in charge is a "real life" Blanche from Angelic Layer (she was Cady's Angel) so if she's "alive" it makes sense that it's a game world. hmm, sorta like the virtual world arcs on yugioh.... in a way..... I guess I'll just have to wait and see...
