yuuko said: 1) What is Yuuko's relation with Clow and real name?
2) What exactly are Mara and Moro?
3) In TRC, Sakura is Clow's daughter. But Syaoran and Fei Wang Reed are descendants of Clow. So would this mean they are relatives of Sakura and Touya? I mean, Syaoran and Sakura look a bit alike, but that would be just a bit too much...XD Or maybe there is 2 Clows? *head explodes*
4) Was R!Syaoran born in Clow as well?was he kidnapped and substituted with C!Syaoran or what?
5) Why does Subaru dress like that? WHY? WHY?
6) Are FW Reed, Clow and Fai all after the same goal- bringing people back to life-? If that's true, why do they show so many times in TRC that that is completely impossible(i mean, wasn't Clow meant to be really wise)?
7) What's with CLAMP and twins and eyeballs??????
8) Why did Kamui think C!S was E?
9) Is Tomoyo getting it on with Sohma? O.o
10) Is Hokuto ever going to appear in TRC?
11) Are CLAMP the root of all evil?
SPOILERS SPOILERS SPOILERS
DO NOT READ UNLESS YOU HAVE FINISHED TRC OR DON'T CARE (Hopefully your not on this thread if this is not the case.)
1) I think Clow loved Yuuko. As for her real name, I don't think it's ever revealed.
2) Like others have said, I think they are soulless dolls or something that keep the shop going.
3) The Clow that is Sakura's father and the Clow that knows Yuuko and all that are probably different Clows, from different worlds. Then again... nah. But... I think you'll have to ask CLAMP yourself for 100% closure on that question.
4) R!Syaoran's real name is Tsubasa, as is revealed at the end of the series, and he was from a different world, where he is the son of Syaoran and Sakura. He is sent to Yuuko's shop and went to Sakura's world for seven days, during which Fei Wong Reed puts a death curse on the Tsubasa of that world, aka Sakura, that will eventually kill her, and then he was sent back to Yuuko's shop because his time there was up. He chooses to go back to Clow Country at the price of never seeing his friends or family back home again, and spends years trying to find a way to cure Sakura (who is unaware of the curse along with almost everyone else; only Syaoran and Sakura's mom, and possibly Yukito, I don't remember, know). When the time comes for Sakura to die, Tsubasa, aka Syaoran, asks Yuuko to turn time back to the day Fei Wong Reed put the curse on Tsubasa, aka Sakura, in exchange for being Fei Wong Reed's prisoner. The series starts several years after time is wound back, with the Syaoran and Sakura clones made by Fei Wong Reed.
5) In Tokyo Babylon it's because Hokuto picks out/designs/makes his clothes. In TRC, it's probably the style of whatever world he came from.
6) Just because something is impossible doesn't mean that people don't wish for it and try to achieve it. As for why Clow, supposed to be super wise, tries it: love and grief can do funny things to people. -Thank you Wikipedia. If this explaination didn't make sense, try reading Wikipedia's.
7) The twins thing is probably a fetish. XD As for the eyes, one of the CLAMP members, I forget who, has something wrong with one of her eyes, so they do it as a sort of tribute to her.
8) This one I had to look up. "Bait," according to Kamui, are beings raised as food for beings who drink blood. They have no soul and are imitations in a human body. I guess Kamui could sense or somehow recognize that Syaoran, as a clone, did not have a soul and so assumed he was bait. Also, bait apparently have masters, which makes sense since they are created, as Kamui asked Fai if he was Syaoran's master.
9) Er, I really don't know.
10) I'm sorry to say that Hokuto doens't show up in TRC. D: That would have been super awesome if she did.
11) No, they are just evil queens who enjoy torturing their fans and characters. XD
Now I have a few questions:
danoboy said:Jupernia said:icenek0 said: I have one!!!! When will LEGAL DRUG BE FINISHED!!! *curses Clamp* It was sooooo good, I wish they had finished it. Well the last I heard they were waiting to finish it due to story issues and lack of time to finish it.
Your question could also be used for when are they going to finish X/1999.
No kidding! That series has been running since 1992. I wonder if they will EVER finish it.
1992?!?! That's before I was even born! I hope they get working on it soon!
ionamay said: yeah, i have a very important question:
WHAT IS HAPPENING IN TRC? I AM COMPLETELY LOST! WHO IS WHO? WHO IS A CLONE? HOW LONG HAS EVERYONE BEEN A CLONE? WHO IS EVERYONE IN LOVE WITH? WHO ARE THE CLONES IN LOVE WITH? IS ANYONE AT ALL IN THE WHOLE WORLD OF CLAMP WHO THEY ARE MEANT TO BE?!?!?!?
thank you xxxxx
Well, as for what's happening, that depends on where you are. Don't worry, everything is cleared up by the end; the question is whether you can understand it. Sakura and Syaoran have been clones since the beginning, and it tells you when they become real: For Syaoran, after the Acid Tokyo arc, and I don't remember when they find out Sakura is a clone. The real Sakura isn't there when the clone disappears so its kinda obvious.
By the end, Tsubasa and Tsubasa, aka R!Syaoran and R!Sakura, are in love, the clone Syaoran and Sakura are in love, and Fai and Kurogane are too. Out of the traveling companions, the only one who is who they are supposed to be is Kurogane. Out of everybody, only Sakura, Syaoran, and Fai are not who they are supposed to be. Oh, and Watanuki sort of, seeing as he is R!Syaoran's replacement in the world with Yuuko's shop, aka the setting of xxxHolic and Tsubasa, aka R!Syaoran's home world.
Whew! Okay, that was a lot. Can anyone tell me where I can read X? Online or anywhere. Why do my bookstores never carry the stuff I want to read?!
Okay, I'm done now. This was fun! Let me know if I missed anything. XD And, err, I'm sorry this is such a ridiculously long post. ^-^;; |
