I've meant curse, the one that Fei Wong Reed put on him.
The curse make him kill anyone with stronger magical powers.


Because logically, it was one-time curse,

Ashura even took Fai with himself, to make sure that the curse is used on him and not someone else.

I also think that even with half of his magic...I think Fai is still stronger..

Plus I would think that the curse won't work anymore without his magic (after giving it to Yuuko)....

Erm no. With half of his magic, he would have


If the curse was still there, with half of magic, he would have gone berserk upon Ashura. If curse was more than one-time, after giving up his eye this episode, he would have slaughtered everyone there.

Giving the magic away to yuuko does not change a thing, since its not the magic which is cursed, its the magic user himself.

Fai is still cross-classed Mage/Vampyre, its just that he has zero mana capacity for time being.

So the only plausible explanation to that and to fact that Ashura took Fai in, is that the curse was one time.

From memory, pretty much 4/5ths of the celes arc is flashbacks of fais past, and that doesn't make for an exciting enough story to market. It makes sense to just provide flashbacks of celes, even though we did miss the majority of the Ashura/Fai/Kuro fight. However, I can't help but feel for the poor viewers who don't know what happened in the infinity arc, must be so confusing for them.
These DVDs come with the manga, they don't need to market anything..I'm sure fans of the manga would want the complete story animated, as I do.

Oh riiiight I totally forgot~ Damn, you can't blame me, it's been so long since Infinity and Ceres

I don't quite get your point about Fai getting a curse one time...I thought that was obvious, even for me XD

Something don't make sense to my.
When Fai gave his source of power to Yuuko he make himself weaker so now Sayorne, Kurogane, Sakura Tomoyu and even Mokuna have more spiritual/magic power then him so why the course doesn't start and make him want to kill everyone?


I believe that the curse broke after he had stabbed Sakura. I think the curse was a onetime deal. FWR placed that curse on Fai in order for his plan to go the way he wanted but C Sakura interfered with that plan causing Fai to "kill" her instead.

I finally got my hands on the subbed version. *have been away during the weekend*

I still think that the manga is better for many reason, it dosn't skip anything of the important plot and it doesn't stupidify the KuroFay moments that are in it.

But I am still very happy with the episode, even though I am a bit sad that they skipped the Celes ark, I do want to see Fay's backgrund animated. Oh well, I guess it could be worse x''D

Well, you should read the manga. The OVA's are (almost) true to the manga, so ofcourse you'll miss a lot of info, chapter and arcs... Previous arcs were about Ashura-ou, the curses of Fai and Kurogane and some other arcs that are still coming.

Loved the Fai punch.

Chapters from 136 to 167 is what they skip this time.

167 would be the start of Shunraiki, while 135 was the end of Tokyo Revelations

Within the first few seconds, i was like "huh? am i missing something?" .. i thought it was an odd place to start, even though i did understand why they started there. Anyway, i think i need to reread those chapters after tokyo to familiarise myself again xD

btw, start from volume 18, c136 .. that's right after the tokyo arc.

I thought this was great.

While I'd like to see Infinity and Celes, the fact that the DVD comes with the manga assumes the viewer has familiarity with the series up to that point, so it makes sense for them to animate more recent things. I have no issue with that.

The only minor disappointment I had was fight scene length as well. Part of me would've liked more of that fight, but I liked all of the stuff that they included aside from that, so I felt like it all balanced out.

So far.... this made a better impression on me than the first Tokyo Revelations OAD did. Anyone else?

In my honest opinion, instead of making OVAs that skip large and vital aspects of the series, the creators should have just created a third season. Nevertheless, it is good to see the return of the crew again. ^.^

I'm going to assume that the second part of this OVA will mark the end of the anime completely. I wonder how the final duel with the two Syaorans will turn out. I do agree with most of the users here who claimed that the length of the battle between Seshiiro and Syaoran was too short. They should've extended the length. But I suppose the creators wanted to focus more on Syaoran's battle with his other half than anything else. I'm looking forward to it. :]

The "tv series" are beyond salvation to have a third season.

Its either OVA format or complete remake. they chose OVA for now. who knows what will await us in future

I meant the "end" for the anime altogether. Not the "end" for the manga or the plot itself.

Fai and Kurogane...goodness.

Fai gives up something, Kurogane follows suit. Then Kurogane gives up something and Fai follows suit.

I think Fai gave up A LOT since the beginning. =[

But I agree, I love their moments and Kurogane taking his own arm off? Epic win.

It was pretty entertaining, however... I really hate it when OVA's like this have "flashbacks" to scenes that have never been seen before. For people who have read the manga and know those certain scenes, this is probably less of a pain, but to a lot of people who only just watch the anime, certain flashbacks in this OVA, have never occurred at all during the first two seasons.

Then again, I.G. didn't produce the first two seasons, so I can kind of understand why, but it's still a real bummer... It really reminds me of what School Rumble San Gakki OVA did in an attempt to just "skip over" lots of content, and conclude the series.

Thats because the makers of the OVA(along with majority of trc and clamp fans) assume that the horrendous TV series were never made and make this OVA as an extra for manga readers. ;]

Ok so I'm guessing I have to read the manga to find out what happened with Fay and his king...other than that it was a good episode - not as good as Tokyo Revelations but that'd be pretty hard to beat :P

*sigh* If only they had animated the Infinity and Celes arcs, they were so fantastic in the manga. I adore Fai, and the story focuses on him so much in those arcs, makes me sad they didn't animate it. :(

Plus C!Sakura really grows into a strong character in the Infinity arc, I would have liked to have seen that.

Agreed, i do wish they animated it, But none the less amazing OVA, and awesome animation, they truly got it on the money this time around and as i keep watching it i can't help but feel amazed at this OVA series.

Why cant we have an entire TV Series of TRC like it should be? Argh.

Anyway, it's amazing how much material is intertwined in this OVA and its xxxHolic counterpart. Great stuff.

I dislike CLAMP concept of Fate in this universe, but the quality of their storytelling can't be denied. As well as the memorable characters in both storylines.
