Chapitre.143: The Future Decision
>>285571228>Pinning Mokona downKUROGANE NO!
>>285571748>Oh no, he's hot
Done. Can't beat hitsuzen. Not hitsuzen, man.See you tomorrow!
>>285571791Thanks OP! You da nigga
>>285571791oh look it's that one scene that CLAMP fetishizes all the time
TOMORROW...
>>285570911Isn't it rude to drink straight from the bottle everywhere?
Sorry if this was explained in one of the afterwords by the translator but how do they differentiate between the 2 Syaoran in writing in Japanese? Or do they not bother?
>>285572445Clone Syaoran= SyaoranOG Syaoran= "Syaoran"
>>285571624>she knows
>>285570637So he looks the same as clone Syaoran.He has clone Syaoran's soul.And he has all of clone Syaoran's memories.Seriously, what's the difference, to the point where they distrust him and Sakura could be in love with the clone and not the original?Philosophically, I don't get why this is a big deal?
>>285573798He has his own memories and motivations from before getting cloned that make him different.
>>285573798Look man, in a material and functional point of view he is the same person. But he isn't the guy they met, had all those good times and grew to care for.People are not completely rational entities, you see it in studies where people can get attached to an object, and you could replace that object with an identical copy without telling them. They will be happy, but if they are told it got replaced they get mad or sad.Now if you apply that to an animal the reaction is stronger. And if you do that with people, it doesn't matter how little or much sense it does, they will have a strong emotional rection.Also since we are talking about souls here, not just material stuff, the fact that clone Syaoran, who they were close with, had half the soul of the original, but now is a souless murderous golem doesn't help at all aleviate their pain about the situation.They are hurting the loss of a close friend and the presence of the original Syaoran is like rubbing salt on the wound.With time and if they get to know him they might patch things up but it isn't just as easy as just accepting it.
>>285570650That's cold Sakura.>>285570706>>285570715Kurogane keeps being the best guy.
>>285570837About time this fuck does something.>>285572328I was about to say that, if you did that over here people would throw a fit.
>>285571071>>285571082>>285571091>>285571104It's good that they are so close to each other they can just tell the other to drop the act.
>>285571445>>285571457Words that needed to be said.>>285571527This does not bode well. Also if she didn't want to be scorted anymore she could have just said so. Even if the others couldn't be convinced it would be better to know.
>>285571791Thank OP.That's a nice sentiment but you can't force freedom on others, paradoxicaly. Also he chose to be bound to you by his own will.
bump?
>>285571791Thank you for posting.
>>285571432>manwhoreSo I'd have a chance with him?
Having caught up to this after one month, going from >>284892234 to >>285570776 in a couple sittings was a harsh change. This manga has dona a complete 180 in tone.>>285571791Thanks for the dumpy, notDumpy!
>>285570825Chi!
>>285570650>Sakura when she sees her fanbase
>>285570715>This much of alcohol shilling in both Tsubasa and HolicOne of CLAMP member is definitely alcoholic.
>>285571527Bruh
>>285571527STRONG AND INDEPENDENT
>>285574953>if she didn't want to be scorted anymore she could have just said so.The world she needs to go to is a place where she can't be escorted to anywaySakura has a big keikaku going this time since she saw the future.
>>285571213>clone syaoran is a practice-crazy drunk>ori syaoran is a sleepy drunk
>>285571553but sakura's memories of syaoran IS sakura's priceits (clone) syaoran that ended up not paying any price but i guess she can't know that because, you know, losing memories and all
>>285571791thanks OPsakura seems intent to beat hitsuzen, i wonder if hitsuzen can even be outhitsuzen'd or maybe hitsuzen hitsuzen'd is all hitsuzen all along
>>285572304Oh boy!
>>285577815Yes.
>>285571052It was basically gauranteed.

Done. No... don't nerf her hax...See you tomorrow!
Thanks OPThings aren't looking good for our heroes
I dont get what Sakura does in this chess matches
This is Misaki, she's 12 years oldEagle cucked her out of her beloved Hikari and a cameo in TsubasaSay something nice to her
>>285594875You know how masters work in Fate?She's kinda like that, Syaoran's stats in the chess fights are directly linked to her morale and willpower, if she loses the will the fight then Syaoran shuts down, the lower her morale the lower Syaoran's stats get
>>285571748oh yeah I remember this was the hcapter I dropped this shit.
>>285594898Misaki is too pure for the edge in Tsubasa.
>>285595225>Icchan gets a cameo>Tamayo gets a cameo>Blanche gets a cameo>Kaede and Sai get a cameo>Fucking Hatoko gets a cameo>Misaki gets nothing lol, also Hikari is now Eagle's toyAre you implying a literal kindergarten kid like Hatoko is less pure than Misaki?
>>285595386>Are you implying a literal kindergarten kid like Hatoko is less pure than Misaki?I've never read TRC and so I don't know what kind of world appear later on but if a Misaki cameo happened it would have to be in a world that's quite light hearted. She's an extreme pushover.
>>285595762>Later on>Light hearted worldHaha
>>285594898Dump her manga OP! You fucking muppet
>>285594093He chose before knowing he wouldn't be fighting a human.
>>285594292I don't like where this is going.>>285594394I can't believe Fai fucking died. Again.
>>285596297>I can't believe Fai fucking died. Again.Haha, yeah about that
>>285594292>giving up her blessingsShe's making terrible choices without the real (clone) Shaoran to tard wrangle her, huh?>>285594394Isn't it too late, then?>>285594604Thanks, notDumpy!
>>285594875I assume the fighters' chokers inject them with drugs depending on her mood: good mood = steroids, bad mood = sleep drugs or something.
>>285571764>You, me bed, now
>>285572304Saw a few sakuga clips on xitter and it looks pretty good. Why is it forgotten?
>>285598613Because it's a shonen for the wrong audience (little girls, yurifags) and it's actually a rather forgettable but overall nice story about a little girl who gets into fighting games because she has an inferiority complex about being a flat, skinny, little girl.Also while the anime is one of the better productions from Studio Bones it also has plenty of QUALITY outside of the fighting scenes.And of course it also suffers from the usual CLAMP problems where the anime goes onto completely different story tangents compared to the manga for better of worse.
>>285598933> a little girl who gets into fighting games because she has an inferiority complex about being a flat, skinny, little girlpicked up
>>285593801>>285593883Lots of handholding in this chapter.
>>285593787MENACE TO SOCIETY
>>285593910>>285593930Cruel kindness. But I would also fall for this smile.>>285593991>>285594011>Just summons a swordHe doesn't even need Mokona. Original Syaoran seems a lot more powerful than Clone Syaoran in everything.
>>285594062She's cute.>>285594083Gee Sakura, how come you get to have TWO Syaorans>>285594155Someone outclassed Syaoran in kicks, impossible.
>>285594292>Taking away her strongest assetGrimm. How will she gamble now?
>>285594062Ahh so this entire arc was for THIS.
>>285600919Both Seishiro and AL Hikaru are better martial artists than Syaoran, AL Hikaru's is really good with her legs in general and something like her instant overhead kick, flash kick and her dropkick stomp here>>285594515 are all signature moves from the AL manga/anime
>>285594420What is that arrow thing next to her feet?>>285594478This shit is rigged.>>285594604I'm going to be honest. Syaoran seems to be outclassed in every way it matters for a fight.Thanks OP
>>285598613>>285598933I didn't know anything about Angelic Layer other than I tried the GBA game and it was bad. Someone said it was like Battle Network but that was a lie.But this actually makes me want to watch the thing.
>>285601343Nah he's good, this Syaoran is an exceptional all rounder that can do everything well because he's based on CCS Syaoran who can do martial arts, spells and even use a sword.Raitei Shourai and Kashin Shourai are really good offensive spells and Fuuka Shourai is very versatile as well, he has no weak spot compared to the rest of the party, he only chokes against either people who're just straight up better all rounders or people with extreme magical powers.AL Hikaru makes him look worse than he actually is because she's canonically built as a minmaxed SPD+STR glass cannon so he has to play very defensively and wait for openings.>>285601387If you liked CCS you'll probably like Angelic Layer to some degree because Misaki is moe just like Sakura and Tamayo's basically Tomoyo but as a tomboy and more bi and less lesbian, it's a pretty short series both in the anime and manga so it doesn't really overstay its welcome either.
>>285593943SYAORAN, NO! THE JOBBER WORDS!
>Hikaru's two husbands are a yes-man and someone who only gets excited if she's a robotgrim
>>285593930Wait is his name not Syaoran or am I reading his reaction wrong?
>>285603197I don't think she called him by name since he showed up.
>>285603197You're right but you're also wrong.It's complicated, it'll be explained later but you are onto something.
>>285594292I feel like she'd be better off just traveling to a random world without the ability to choose, and her god-tier luck would take her where she wants to go anyway.
>>285603639The luck might also backfire by keeping her away from a dangerous world that she wants to go to.
>>285604716So it's not really luck, it's just plot armor.
>>285607616How valuable is Clown Reed semen?
>>285608129Imagine creating armies of Sakuras using his seed.
>>285570650 Tfw you see your son thinking you are a clone of his crush
>>285607616Fujitakabros don't look
>>285603197 it's not. He got that from his dad who got it from him
>>285610313Fujikata is like clone Syaoran when you think about it.

Done. That was not ok. See you tomorrow!
>>285614920There are 2 Sakura now?
>>285615042Kind of complicated and a bit of a spoiler but it will be explained in the following chapters:Sakura made a gamble here, two different doors to two different dimensions opened.Freya opened the door to the world of dreams while Chi opened the door to Celes, combined with Fai killing her due to his curse she managed to separate her soul from her body, the body went to Celes with Chi while Freya took Sakura's soul to the world of dreams which is where she actually wanted to go.Things get more complicated later though, but now it's time for Fai's backstory and (even more) suffering arc.
Thanks Op>>285614591My guy can't catch break
>>285614979Thank you for posting!
>>285614521???!
>>285614521AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA STOP MAKING THEM KILL EACH OTHER YOU FUCKING HAGS
>>285619723You WILL suffer and you WILL like it
>>285614920>sakura got riker'd>>285614979Thanks, notDumpy. Everything is gonna be djb!
>>285614081>>285614103She dominated the battle so much it's impressive she lost like this.>>285614174Huh, I guess there really are different versions of everyone everywhere.
>>285614226Sakura should have told him she wanted to leave so he wouldn't do things like this without her asking.>>285614314>>285614331He does look like he would at least consider it if he knew.
>>285614389>>285614402>>285614417I don't know how much blame he has here. but fuck.>>285614431>That fuckign tear on spaceOh, it's this asshole.>>285614521FAI, WHAT IN HELL ARE YOU DOING?I knew I didn't trust this guy for a good reason.

>>285620135>I hate how much worse everything gets.Hey anon, hey!It's going to get even worse
My comfy world traveling adventures...
>>285614521>typical vampire behavior
>>285614103I guess thunder is effective against machine as usual
>>285614272gee infinity, how come hitsuzen lets you have TWO chii
>>285614521.....what the fuck
>>285614920I guess its been foreshadowed that there's something fucky going on with sakura's soul, what's with her being able to be sucked into the femboy vampire cocoon thing and then teleported insidethe cocoon is not the power of the femboy vampire, he just got wrapped in itthe feather is just there to protect stuff, so sucking in soul isn't exactly its powerand i guess the 50/50 chance yuuko'd talking about is about making sure the soul sakura goes on to the right world instead of the dead bodyand considering the soul goes with black chii instead of white chii from fai's world, i guess she succeedbutdamnshe just gonna left her bodies like that huhthats fucking cold
>>285614979thanks opthis is not tanoshii
>>285614611>>285614654it all goes tumbling down...
>Two Chii>Black ChiiGuys please go read/watch Chobits, it's Freya, she's dressed in black.In the Tsubasa continuity Fai created Chii while Freya existed as Infinity's automata that can travel between dimensions, they're the same twin sisters that existed in Chobits and you could always tell them apart because Freya dressed in black.
>>285614509>>285614521>tags: triple penetration
>>285614755A lot of TRC is beyond comprehension. There's a reason why the whole 'which is more complicated TRC or Kingdom Hearts?' question is a thing.
>>285614829Fai= man of FEELS>>285615042Yes and no. It's hard to explain.>>285615216Fai's homeland and backstory are probably on a top 10 list of suffering in manga.
>>285621342The tumbling down and rock bottom is what comes next unless I'm forgetting an arc.
>>285614918Technically, the deal was that she'd give up her luck after ending up in another world.And a 50/50 gamble is nothing for Sakura.
>>285614557A story... about a curse
Since the Chi from Ceres is not mechanical, does that mean... you know... without resetting?
We could have prevented this
>>285625599Yes.But since she's made out of one of Sakura's feathers you're still shit out of luck in terms of long terms plans, also did you know Fai fashioned Chii after his own mother's appearance?
>>285624494>>285414947>Wonder of U
>>285626936Himawari a cute.
>>285614402>>285614417Holy fuck, this is worse than anything I could have imagined.
>>285614548>Even Chi looks donekek
>>285614521...Fuck, I knew it, I can't bring myself to hate him, no matter what. He could literally kill everyone, and I'd still find a way to sympathize with him.
CCS clear card also has determined, mature Sakura without everyone stabbing each other every chapter, just saying
>>285630040Shut the fuck up and eat your suffering alreadyThis is just the beginning
>>285630040But we NEED stabbings.
>>285614979Thanks for chapter.
What is their fucking issue?
>>285632197Wouldn't be old school shoujo authors without the violence and sufferingModern shoujo authors are spineless and castrated
>>285614979>TL noteSo it's like that? I understand!
>>285630040But the stabbing is what I like modern CLAMP has lost their edge
>>285630040How do you know someone is determined and mature if you don't stab them?
>>285636728By pretending to stab them. That way, you can see how they would react to being stabbed, but without inflicting any real harm on them.
>>285637637I'm taking notes here.
Today's schedule: Chapters 150-152
Chapitre.150: Those Left Behind
Chapitre.151: A Lie in the Rain
>>285639894>Punished Fai: A man denied his eternal rest
>>285640048>And it could be yours for a small price
Chpitre.152: Four Prices Paid
>>285640492>condoning violence against SakuraI guess after being impaled a concussion would be small change
Done. These guys keep on stacking debuffs.See you tomorrow!
>>285641011It always ticked me off how he's greatly overestimating Syaoran and at the same time underestimating Fai considering he fucking set both of them up to begin with.Like really, you made an image of Syaoran, you SHOULD know how his magical power is ridiculously inferior to Fai's, this twist never made much sense to me especially considering future reveals about Fai, no way OG Syaoran would have stronger magic than Fai even when he gets nerfed to 1/2 of his original power, that's an incredible misread by somebody who's supposedly second only to Clow.
>>285641038Thanks OP. I'm starting to think this Fei Wong guy is a bad apple.
>>285641038Gee Fai, how come Fei Wong lets you have two curses?The suffering never ends, only intensifies
>>285640368>smalllet's not get crazy here
>>285639926>>285639941They are shocked but not going apeshit. I guess Sakura's words reached them. Kurogane keeps being great.>>285640016Oh, Mokona is going to cry even more now.
>>285639980Are this Eagle and Lantis gay for each other? This Hikaru is not the one either of them liked, unless...>>285640195The leg was injured badly but she looked like it didn't hurt in this world so I guessed it was just ok now. >>285640211She told you that you shouldn't smile if you don't feel like it. Of course she can tell.
>>285640296Oh right.>>285640347So that's why he was allowed to live, as a bargain chip to kill Yuuko and anyone else that might interfere with the plan.>>285640423This guy needs to learn.>>285640492I get the feeling. But damn.
>>285640862Another parallel between Watanuki and Sakura. This better go somewhere.>>285641011Wait motherfucker, then why did you put the curse in there? What the fuck?If not to kill Yuuko then who did you expect him to kill? Are you just retarded and making up your plan as it develops?
>>285641038Thanks OP.I don't trust this plan at all.
>>285640367Fai was Punished long before this sad sequence of events and he will become even more PUNSHED in the future.
>>285640862Watanuki is thoroughly confused.
>>285639750That's never a good chapter title.
>>285570587I remember buying the first volume in 2006 because Sakura and Xiaolang. It was weird to see them in another universe and back then I didnt understand why they were there, but looked promising. Is it worth it?
>>285641038This second curse looks like an asspullWhy would he lay a second curse if he thought the first one would go as he planned?Thanks OP
>>285640514I don't think they're respecting Yuuko enough. All of them are treating her like a wish granting genie.
>>285640144>jobbing to fai with half of his powers goneJobran and Jobgane.>>285640862Self-cuck.>>285641038Thanks, notDumpy!>TWO cursesChapter theme: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NX6qZlQnb1M
>>285640964Please tell me things don't get worse because I don't believe they can.
>>285641116>shaoran = blood related to clow>fai = not blood related to clow>therefore, shaoran >>> faiQED.
>>285644681Yeah, it's a cute and funny manga.
>>285644949Wait until you see what the endgame of Tsubasa does to xxxHolic.
>>285645003xxxHolic never benefited from being intertwined with TRC.
>>285645073Which is why the TV anime is the definitive version of xxxHolic.
>>285641038Gonna be real here, I'm completely lost.
>>285646765t. Kurogane
>>285643674>If not to kill Yuuko then who did you expect him to kill?Syaron, it literally says so in the page you a quoting.
>>285646987But that makes no sense? Syaoran doesn't have the magic to travel across dimensions and it was stablished since the start that only those truly strong in magic can travel at least once.
>second half of the manga>best girl nowhere to be seenWhen is she showing up?
>>285647696
>>285641038>>285644973How does one acquire a giga chin like this
>>285643674>If not to kill YuukoFei Wong doesn't want to kill Yuuko, if there's one thing he wants it's definitely not that, not like anybody can anyway "thanks" to Clow
I think Syaoran is gonna be stronger than Fai in rhe future. It's just that at this point in time Sakura is stronger than both so she triggered the curse lmao.But honestly Fei Wong is kinda dumb.
>>285650041I will save my final judgement for when his wish is revealed, because I am hoping it's not something retarded that can be obtained without trying to become master of space-time.But so far he doesn't show himself to be very bright.
>>285650041>I think Syaoran is gonna be stronger than Fai in rhe future.Eh, lots of spoilers about it but if you really wanna know the tl:dr, no, even after Fai gets ANOTHER nerf Syaoran's still not stronger than him by the end of the manga when it comes to raw magic power, Fai also knows way more spells, he's in a tier of his own as a magician.Magic power by itself doesn't mean much either, this Sakura has higher magical power than either Syaoran or Fai currently but she can do fuckall with it because she can't use magic unlike CCS Sakura.>But honestly Fei Wong is kinda dumb.He's kinda poorly written in some later parts, his plan to have Fai kill OG Syaoran doesn't make sense because he had his eyes on both of them for god knows how long and by all means he should have known Syaoran would never, ever get higher magical power than Fai even after the nerf, it just makes no sense especially after the Celes arc but I guess in a way part of it is addressed later because the plot point about Fai's tattoo and his refusal to ever use magic until later also doesn't really make a lot of sense in hindsight, CLAMP just wrote themselves into a corner and they just asspull a rather unsatisfying explanation for these plot points later, it sorta works only if you strictly take it at face value and don't think too much about it.
>>285647696They probably didn't want to confuse the manga onlies
>>285639775He looks like an Elden Ring boss.
>>285640862I believe in sex with tall hags.
Readin
>>285639808>>285639839what the fuck happened herei feel like i know whats going on but also not at the same timebut i guess thats like, the majority of TRC after this
>>285639868>her body went to celesthats fai's world, right?so she just ruined fai's chance to get back to his own world?
>>285639926rightthats og syaoran swordhey, at least he now can say that he nailed sakura
>>285640144>berserk fai going after syaoran and kurogane instead of killing himselfthats bullshitbut i believe it
>>285640296uh, chii released a feather when the whole shenanigan happened, and considering fai brought a feather to yuko's shop, that means celes also got two feathers?
>>285655526Sakura got in the tube>>285655598That's bullshit and you shouldn't believe it because Lantis isn't a dream seer, Eagle and Lantis are bluffing on Yuuko's behalf.
>>285640325oh shiti wonder if she brought just herself or the whole shop to different dimensiongotta check if nookie, maru, and moro get wet back then
>>285655640Yes, Fai created Chii with one feather and then brought the other with him when he travelled between dimensions
>>285640567he's a vampire with limited regen, right?the wound he got from before becoming vampire prolly cant be helped, but the one he got after would heal, no?but i guess losing the magic source would hit harder
>>285640841>lack of sense in how you call peoplebut didn't she call herself dimensional witch yuuko
>>285640902rightfei wong allegedly just want her body that stores the memories of different dimensionI guess with no souls inside, it's now ripe for the picking
>>285640917what can mokona even pay for the price with
>>285641011is og syaoran really that strong
>>285655873With Mokona's secret techniques.
>>285655873We're talking about Nigger MokonaIt probably stole some stuff while no one was watching
>>285641022apparently fei wong is a shit-tier seer because both lantis and sakura predicted fai stabbing correctlyand fai stabbing is apparently hitsuzen anyway, sakura sacrificed her luck and leg so that everyone survived not to get stabbedand her power only surpassed half-fai because there's two feathers collected into her at the same time, if they put it inside her individually, the stabbing prolly won't happen
>>285641038Thanks OPThe debuff persists between dimension is cheating, cheating I say
>>285655898He's stronger and with more tricks than base clone Syaoran, clone Syaoran can't even use magic which is why he eats Fai's eye to begin with, he needed that buff, it's an imperfect image of the real Syaoran and as such he's inherently weaker.OG Syaoran would have killed clone Syaoran back in Tokyo if Sakura did not interrupt him, for better or worse Clone Syaoran managed to escape and started aura farming hard with Fai's left eye.>>285656546Fei Wong isn't a dream seer, it's implied Xing Huo was the one with that power.
