Chapter 128

[Capella]

He's currently attending a very long and boring orientation from FWR on villainy.

FTW. I don't think FWR is really qualified to teach anyone about villainy. Cloney needs a better tutor - he should have stayed in Tokyo and waited for Seishirou.

[Itzeen]

Here is the translation of the chapter, I found it on the web, so, enjoy it:

Splash page: Even though we are far apart, my thoughts will definitely reach you.

p.1
Yusuriha: The amount of water inside the bottle doesn't quite match what came out?!
Mokona: The place is filled with water now.
Yuuko: The water doesn't mean to be pretty. It has natural power that hasn't been disinfected. It's very powerful.

p.2
Yuuko: Even so, it can be polluted by what happened to this world in the past. Before this water is gone, you have to adjust the system of your world. After that, the rest is up to you.

p.3
Somebody: However, what kind of structure should we turn it into?
Someone else: What should we do to the container that holds the feather?

Kamui: This world doesn't have magic or magic powers. There is no need to create machines to defend against it.

p.4
Fuuma: This feather doesn't belong to this world. Four years ago, I brought it here from another dimension.

p.5
Fuuma: Hello, Yuuko-san. What's the time over there?
Yuuko: It's almost night time.
Fuuma: Well then it's good evening. Ever since I came to this world, there is no means of communication so I got disconnected from you.
Kamui:...
Kurogane: So you know him too huh (speaking to Yuuko possibly).
Fuuma: I'm a new customer of Yuuko-san's shop.
Yuuko: That contain is something you found too.
Fuuma: Yes, because that's my job.

p.6
Fuuma: Being a hunter, we are asked to find valuable things. Sometimes it's something we want as well. There are all sorts.
So even though we are both hunters, what we search for is different, big brother and I.

p.7
Nice to meet you. You're Subaru-san. Big Brother is always in your care (this sentence can also be "thanks for looking after big brother").

p.8
Kamui: You're the brother of that hunter?
Fuuma: When we were crossing different worlds, I heard about the vampire twins from him. They're always together but somehow only one is here. I wonder what was going on.

p.9
Fuuma: You met up with each other all right?

p.10
[no dialogue]

p.11
Subaru: Kamui!
Fuuma: It's just like Big Brother said. Kamui is strong.

p.12
Fuuma: But I also learnt that Subaru-san can be very scary when he's angry.
Subaru: Please let go of Kamui.
Fuuma: Of course.

p.13
Yuuko: You brothers are always troublemakers.
Fuuma: That's just Big Brother.
Yuuko: You too.
Fuuma: Seishiro-Big Brother has not arrived in this world yet.
Yuuko: Well, about the price, Kurogane.

p.14
Kurogane: Finally you want something?
Syaoran: With that I'll...
Sakura: I'll do it.
Mokona: Sakura!

p.15
Sakura: I've always been sleeping in this world. I couldn't do anything. That's why I want to do it.

p.16
Sakura: Please tell me what happened up until now.

p.17
Fuuma: Is the instruction on how to ride this ok?
Sakura: Yes, thank you very much.

p.18
Mokona: Are you really going alone?
Sakura: Yes.
Mokona: Yuuko! The rain in this country hurts a lot! There are very big creatures too. It's very dangerous to go alone.
Yuuko: That's why I asked her to bring me something from a place that only I have told her. That will be a payment.

p.19
Sakura: I'm sorry.
Syaoran: Huh?
Sakura: It's because I said "stop" that is why you were injured. So please rest. Moko-chan too.

p.20
Sakura: Kurogane-san, please get your wounds treated. Please look after Fay-san.
Kurogane: You're speaking the whole time. You probably won't listen.
Go, we'll remain here until you come back.

p.21
Sakura: Yes.

Next issue: What is waiting for the princess?

*squeal*  Molestation!

Like everyone else I imediately thought of the ice cream scene (what volume was that anyway, I want to reread that scene now) when it was discovered that Fuuma and Sei-chan are brothers.  Now all we need is for "Niisan" to show up and find the person he's hunting for.

Sakura's new outfit is cool.  Except for what she wore in Piffle I've disliked most of her outfits (I'm not into the girly-girly stuff) so it's cool seeing her wear something bad-*** for a change.  I'm hoping that CLAMP doesn't focus on her the entire time for the next part but it's nice to see her doing something for a change.

I loved it when Sakura told Kuro to look after Fay. XD

[xOLight_AngelOx]

Who knows.  He probably went to visit the witch of the west before hopping the dimensions for Sakura's feather.  Or...he could be on a long vacation break?

Syaoran: *is tapping his feet*  So, when do I get to debut as my cool ultra bad self in a dimension?
Tsubaki Nekoi:  Not yet.  You haven't been drawn yet!   I've yet to also go out and buy more background screentones.  Maybe Igarashi-san would want to help out on this? 
Syaoran: ....*explodes*  What!?
Mokona:  That's right.  I'm mostly in charge of drawing all of you so be patient! 
Syaoran: But...but...I can't wait!!   
Nekoi:  *looks behind her* Ohkawa-chan?  Can you please go over with Syaoran his lines for the clone chapter?  It'll keep us occupied with peace.  *winks*
Ageha Ohkawa:  *nods* Un.  Yeah.  Please come to my table, Syaoran. 
Syaoran:  Finally!!   I'm tired doing nothing but watching and have short lines!   *grumbles*

Curious to see if Sakura comes into a conflict while she's out on her mission by herself.   >_>  The splash page for this chapter kind of surprised me and made me do a double take to make sure this was Tsubasa.  Haha.. ^_^

XD lol thats funny.

i wonder if sakura is going to kick butt when she encounters an enimy XP

Volume 14, I have no idea what chapter though.  I had done a "no chapter this week" with it before where Seishirou had killed the chapter for Fuuma, and when I think back, it's rather funny now. Especially with Yuuko's "troublemakers" comment. XD

:digs through files:



^ A couple pages from that chapter that's the source for the ice cream joke.

[Mina]

I must say I wasn't too impressed by this chapter.... after 2 week wait... it wasn't that exciting... so Fuuma is Seishirou's little brother? Interesting twist..

Loved Sakura's outfit in the end though! Is it just me or is Sakura completely changed in this arc? There's something missing from her... oh yeah, her smile. I always loved her smile. Has she truely smiled even once ever since coming to Tokyo? I really want her to smile.... I know with Clone!Syaoran gone it's hard but...

Thank you, I found it! XD

If anyone else wants to read it, it starts on page 100 but like nefadol I have no clue the chapter since the chapters aren't listed in my version.

I thought so. OH no

it's the evil brothers and eating ice cream. LOL

[duchessa]

I see the family resemblance stronger than ever XD. Gawd, Kamui and Subaru have it tough.
I'm another one for Hokuto and Kotori being their sisters in TRC. Only, I think they already are, but Fuuma killed Kotori and Seishirou offed Hokuto - CLAMP female siblings really do have short expected life-spans. Unless you're Sakura, but Touya is a big sweetie so she's safe.

[Renaya]

???there's your quote...and what...?

It's so true that Kotori and Hokuto did die young, what's worse, Killed by the person they loved....and how Kamui and Subaru situation is so much the same in X, and as I recall Subaru in X also said to Kamui that they are the same (when Subaru enter Kamui's dream when he's in coma), where both have 'the person I like the most killed my most important person", though this is true for Subaru, I'm not sure whether for Kamui, Kotori is he like most or important. BUt overall, i says that Kamui and Subaru are 'twin' in the way their life goes with the people they cared about.

does that chinese scan site have the scans yet? i need clean scans to maek the scanslations forthe msn site ^^;;

Great Nefadol-chan! post it in that topic too!

[Snow-chan]

It is a little off-topic but at the same time not wholly so, but I took to finding scanlations of X more seriously and it was all due to the talk on the chapter threads here, the point where I knew I should take it as a priority was after the ice cream talk - I was so tired and beat yesterday but I was laughing out loud last night when I read that.

X_x All the bishi molestation in this chapter! Fuuma beee-have!!!

Can someone please explain to me just how this series constitutes as 'shonen' anymore?! I mean, Syaoran has crossdressed, as has Fai (in frills and pink even! XD), Fai has worn a crop-top twice and is the campest manga character I’ve ever come across. There are numerous shonen-ai couples/chemistry – Kamui x Fuuma, (probable) Seishirou x Subaru, Toya x Yukito, Ashura x Fai, (now undeniable) Kurogane x Fai.
A good deal of the splash pages are just pure fanservice for girls. Kurogane in a tuxedo with his shirt hanging open, a dripping wet Fai with his shirt open too, touchy-feely gothic vampire twins… etc.
The only sexy females in the series to mention are Oruha-san, occationally Yuko when she appears and maybe Primera and Xing Huo.
Seriously! Are men still reading this series?!

Nicely put, girl ^____^ But you're right, TRC really doesn't contain a lot of fanservice for boys... But maybe that's just because the mangaka are probably their own slash pariring's biggest fan girls *g*

And where did Fai wear crop tops? O.O! *neeeeeds to see it!*

Maybe gay men?  LOL

I think that even when Clamp TRY to do shounen (Chobits) with all the correct fanservice (naked persocom's, flirty women) that they fail and end up with a mostly shoujo series.  Holic and Tsubasa are both run in shounen mags but I think they're just writing in the way they write best.  If the publishers want Clamp for their magazines then they should know what to expect.

Maybe the publishers just want increased sales-this way they get males buying the magazine for the rest of the serialisations and females buying the magazines for Tsubasa and Holic!

Lol- actually, I know plenty of guys who don't have a problem with teh gay and who read TRC. Not all guys immediately stop reading a series when it 'gets gay,' thank goodness.

And actually, CLAMP is quoted as have said that they consider HOLiC a shoujo series. ^^ Even when people were saying KF would never be canon because TRC is 'shounen' I never really considered that a valid argument. As much as TRC is about Syaoran fighting to save Sakura and whatnot, it's also just as much about the crossovers with other CLAMP series; and almost all of CLAMP's series are unambiguously shoujo.

If idiot guys aren't reading TRC because of 'teh gay,' that's their loss.

[dark_persian]

And where did Fai wear crop tops? O.O! *neeeeeds to see it!*

In Henshin republic, the first shirt he wears is way above his navel and also in Piffle world, his casual t-shirt is the same.

My brother read the first six graphic novels of TRC. He's very much a fan of shonen manga. After the Outo arc he refused to believe that TRC was, in fact, shonen and wouldn't read anymore. He said something along the lines of "No shonen series would ever have so much frilly girly rubbish, sappy romance and blatently gay men."

My brother started reading Tsubasa before me, but when I read it I became a K/F fan I slowly brought him over to the dark side. I have raised him well, or something, I don't think there are many 14 year old KuroFai fanboys

[Smile_For_Me]

O please, when Legal Drug came out in america, I gave one, book one, it to a friend as a present, and she lost it on the bus. Weeks later, a football Player, one of the guy's found it and they just passed it around like crazy, walked up to her and asked if there were anymore, and low and behold, we found out that people liked the manga, even a few teachers. Now they have a whole list in the school libarey. CLAMP being one of the many to choose from. Who would have thought one lost manga could bring a whole bookcase full to school....saddly, Legal Drug is not aloud, as of what is on the cover, hehe..

and CLAMP has said that they don't care what mag, they put their stories in, and I have no problem with it.
