I want to share in this topic my unanswered questions about CLAMP mangas. Many of my questions are about current mangas, mostly about TRC and XXXHOLIC so there'll be lots of spoilers!

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?
I have more that I can't think of right now. Can anyone answer any of this questions? Even if it is theoretical, I'll be more than greatful!

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.

5. He likes it? XD
7. Fetish. XD I rember that in one interview they were asked similiar question and they said that one of them (Igarashi? can't recall) has something with one eye. Or something like that, I don't remember well. XD
8. Hmmm.... wasn't it something like people without souls were sometimes created as baits? or maybe I'm just imagining things, who knows. XD


As for X... well, destiny is not yet foreordained, is it? .... I heard once that they are going to end it after TRC. But I don't know, it may be as well just a gossip.


ah, btw - hi to all of you~!

2) I believe they were said to be like, soulless dolls who's only purpose is to keep the store running or something? I don't remember. D:
5) ...Because he is Subaru, and he is the most adorable thing since the word 'adorable' was invented, and he can dress any way he wants. <333
7) Like Sessho said, eyeball fetish? Mmm, kinky and weird at the same time. Seriously though, maybe it's because eyes are said to be "the window to the soul" or whatever, and CLAMP loev their destiny/soul/angst.
9) Quite possibly.
10) If she doesn't, someone's going to get a boot up the ass and a nail through their forehead. =]]
11) No, they're just the queens of malicious torture. D:

I think that's because these two helps set kekkai or something like that from finding out Yuko's place by FWR. So people without purpose like Doumeki cannot see her place.

I am wondering WHY they had to introduce the whole Card Captor Sakura people, Real People & Clone People. It was bad enough when you find out Sakura is a clone but now this? D;


Oh no.

Seeing as how both XXXHOLiC and Tsubasa are slated to end soon - "It is expected that Tsubasa and its sister publication, xxxHolic will end prior to the 2009 publication of Clamp's new shōjo manga", thanks Wikipedia - Legal Drug may get its proper ending yet.

5) if you're referring to Tokyo Babylon, that's because Hokuto makes the dresses for herself and also for Subaru, then he makes him wear those clothes, lol. in fact, often they're matched.
7) they're four sick women. that's why. and they're getting even sicker.
10) I really, really, really hope so. nee-chan...
11) yes. how did they get like this...

The most unanswered question ever.
Are they going to finish X?
and it's also Kadokawa Shoten's fault.
*goes curse them both*
Also Clover... ok I'll shut up or I'm going to break something.

watching, waiting, commiserating

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:

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. ^-^;;

I've tried that site but it forces me to do surveys to get to the downloads, and the surveys cost money.

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?

--

1) I personally see it as a one-sided love.

2) I think they're clones.

3) Because Fei Wang screwed up the timeline so badly, people end up giving birth to themselves. Now everyone is this one happy incestuous family.

4) R!Syaoran is a paradox who should not exist. He is/becomes the "child" of C!Syaoran due to the timeloop. Though in the original timeline, R!Syaoran was the model that C!Syaoran was based off of. Then the time paradox happened, and R!Syaoran become the product of the timeloop by becoming his own clone's child.

5) Hokuto loves to play dress up with her pretty-uke-twin brother. And he looks so cute; how can she resist?! (Apparently Seishirou can...That is until X). No one can resist Subaru forever!

6) They all attempted to make the impossible possible and they all failed spectacularly.

7) Fetish fuel.

8) Hunger makes people think strange things. But E's are created for vampires; they're not real humans, so naturally he thought that Cloney was E.

9) If she can't get Sakura, she must get Souma.

10) Sadly, she does not and it sucks.

11) They are evil defined.
