Tsubasa Reservoir Chronicle, chapter 149
So, I had access to early, and completely unreadable (to me anyway) scans of this week's Tsubasa chapter. Because I saw all of the lines typed up in the 2ch spoiler thread, I was able to recognize them in the small scans and put them together. Unless there's a missing page in the small scans, this is the complete chapter, but... (There's always a "but", you know.)

Wednesday update: translation fixed!


For image goodness, head over to [info]su_chan's place.

Many thanks to my non-LJ friend who alerted me to the small scans being out.

Chapitre 149
Lovable future

-01- (splash: Freya)

The world that she connected, (T/N: I decided to leave "world" as singular, because as far as I understand Freya is only responsible by one of the worlds in the link to Infinity.)
what does it present to the magician,
what does it steal from him---?

-02-

??: The curse

-03-

??: is not lifted.

-05-

Sakura: Just, from now on...
please promise me that you'll value yourself the most.

Kurogane: Don't pull out the sword!

Shaoran: Sakura!!!

-08-

Yuuko: The feathers that were sealed in the two resonating creations.

Yuuko: Along with the memories, Sakura-hime's magic power was contained in the two feathers.

Yuuko: If the two gather,
Yuuko: the power comes to exceed Fai's halved magic power.

-09-

Yuuko: The connected worlds. Infinity, Celes,
and one more world that the princess wished for.


Yuuko: The probability is fifty-fifty. (T/N: Typo from both spoiler people here. It's 確率, not 確立.)

-14-

Sakura: I made it in time.

Sakura: It's all right.
My life is not disappearing.
Sakura: It's still here.

-15-

Sakura: Don't forget.
Sakura: From now on as well, the future can change. (T/N: Sorry for the awkward wording. She probably means that this wasn't the last time that the future was allowed to change.)

-16-

Sakura: I'm sorry.

-17-

Sakura: Please,
take care of Fai-san.

-18-

Sakura: Until we can meet again.

Teaser: The journey of the lovable people
was also embracing
the beginning of the end---


The "split" mentioned in the spoilers actually did happen. At one point, the wounded Sakura fell backwards, and a healthy Sakura appeared leaning forward (in Fai's direction), this is the one who spoke all the lines from page 14 on. She looked like she was talking telepathically. However, it looked like she could touch Fai, so exactly what is going on? Is she in a condition similar to a spirit (as in, the Holic ones) now? Does she have control of how solid her form is?

I suspect that Sakura provoked the split herself, for reasons that are still unclear. [info]syaoranmew suggested that she might have needed to leave her body behind to enter the world she wanted to go to, and I'm wondering whether she's planning to use this condition to gather the rest of her memories without helping along Fei Wang Reed's plan. In that case, the world she wants to go to must also have some means of transdimensional transportation, or perhaps it's not so difficult anymore, now that she left her body behind. Or maybe she wants to find the clone and take advantage of his means of traveling?

Wednesday update: The large scans are out at [info]ladydarkmoon's!

Kyya!! I was in tears when I saw Fai on the ground like that. I knew, from volume 3; we'd have a picture of a crazed Fai, screaming, with destruction going on all around him....
Kuro scares me a little... when Sakura asks them to take care of Fai, it sort of looks like he's giving an 'as if; i'm gonna kill him' half-smirk.
That was the only time I liked any contact between Fai and Sakura; Fai really needs to be comforted right now.
Thanks so much for this! Do you mind if I friend you?

Not liking Kurogane's expression either... Problems ahead... I wonder if the role of keeping the group together will fall to Shaoran? Poor kid, he barely had any time to get used to the idea that Sakura doesn't hate him as much as he thought she did, then he gets quite a good beating from Hikaru, and now this? What rotten luck...

Do you mind if I friend you?
No problem!

Sakura probably managed to make Fai put his powers under control again so they won't run amok, but I think the easiest course of action right now is to just knock him unconscious. What if the curse forces him through Chi's gate, this time because of Ashura-ou, whose magic is most likely stronger than his at the moment?

Thanks so much for the transelation:D This chapitre is all kinds of awesome. My favorite part has to be when Fay kneels on the ground and his magic goes out of control. That is such a powerful image.

If Sakura planned this to happen, then I think it wasn't entirely fair to put Fay through all this. If she knew he was going to kill her (her vision) she could have done something to avoid recieving one of the feathers, at least until they had made a plan. If she did this as a mean to get her feathers back I think she kinda evil against Fay.

Next weeks break is going to be hard to survive ToT

No, I don't think she meant to do this to Fai. Maybe the curse activating is hitsuzen. In that case, she couldn't do anything else about it except take the hit and try not to die.

Oh man, I had nearly forgotten about the break... This, plus the Holic break that still continues for one more week... Yeah, it's not going to be easy... T_T

Thank you very much for translations! *_*

Sakura: I made it in time.
Uhm.. so she planned this, in the end... Now we have to wait to know why she wants to go in a particular world and which is...To meet the clone? Or only to change the future? Maybe even the others will chose other ways, they'll follow her soul or her body? And her body is going in Celes, isn't it? I can't wait for next chapter! *_*

P.S.: I added you as friend, I hope it isn't a problem! ^_^

[info]ashura_sama

No problem! ^_^

That's what I think, that the split was planned. Poor Sakura, in the end her feathers end up working against her even though she overcame the "downtime"... Yup, body to Celes, heart with Freya to wherever they're going -- there's also the possibility of the wish failing.

Thank you so much for your efforts (translating the chapter in its small version had to be very difficult.-)
The final sentence in the teaser, "the beginning of the end" makes me think: what's going to happen now?!?! what terrible thing is going to happen? xD
Thank you again and, may I friend you?

Sure, no problem.

Actually, the splash page was what gave me the most trouble. The rest of the lines looked to me like the same as the ones I saw in 2ch. There was the kakuritsu typo, but that was easy to spot because of the big bubble.

I wonder about the "beginning of the end" too. I hope it doesn't mean that the last arc is an 8-volume arc starting now...

I'm more worried that "the beginning of the end" means that this is the start of the final arc and it'll drag for 7-8 volumes. XD

The tube? I hadn't thought of that... When she was talking about her powers, the chapter 1 premonition was shown, so it wouldn't be too wild a guess that she remembered that one. I wonder, though, is Yuuko's tube just a replica of the real thing that's out somewhere? Now, Sakura is in for a surprise if the tube scene was symbolic and she, wishing to go to the world of the tube, actually ends up in the Holic world to find that the real tube is something she can hold in one hand...

The beginning of the end... I don't hope this is the last arc. I really want them to be in Celes, but saying the last arc seems so scary. One arc lasting 7-8 volumes sounds scary too o.O I just hope we get as little Sakura as possible now (and it looks like that might happen now XD)

I'm actually curious as to how Sakura will develop without Fai and Shaoran pampering her 24/7. Of course, if she's not going to develop at all, then I agree, out with Sakura! It'd also be interesting if the gang followed her body to Celes, and then due to leaving a small part of her heart in the body, her body regained consciousness and she started all over again with no recollection of anything. I'd like to see how Shaoran would handle that situation now that -he- is complete.

Another thing that could be interesting would be for Sakura to be "missing" for some 3-4 volumes and return a radically different person. I don't think that's CLAMP's style, though.

I'm kinda worried how this is going to be translated into the anime though Oo,,, so far the filler episodes have been... annoying... at best. T-T nya.... too dead to think too much on it. but I can't wait till I can get it in print so I can actually hold this story in my hands! <3<3<3

Actually, to me it's a good thing that now I have a reason to read Tsubasa other than catching Holic references and plot points.

If Tsubasa ever goes back to the anime scene, it probably won't be associated with TC. NHK is thankfully done with TC (no one deserves more of -that-), and with all the continuity breaks, it'd be hard to follow up on what they did there. For example, they'd need a filler to make the gang's clothes end up in Yuuko's hands since TC missed the chance of doing so in Shara/Shura. They'd need to "retcon" the entire Chaos arc. Too much work...

OMG, I just got the large scans, and all I can say is...O_o.

I have no idea what just happened.

Clearly it's going to be hard for the group if they lose Sakura's body...after all, Yuuko said FWR was after "the memories of the body", so that's probably what he really wants. Or...maybe that's the reason why she chose to leave her body behind, so that, no matter which world she went to next, she wouldn't gather any more "memories"...If her power surpasses Fai's, then she could probably send herself to another world once, too.

What really confused me was the scene with Yuuko and the tube. Was it Sakura's spirit that got transfered to it, or was it her good luck? CLAMP has a mean ability to leave me in the dark XD. They need to tell us what's really going on...

[info]ashura_sama

Sakura's power surpasses half of Fai's power, we don't know by how much, so she might not be able to transport herself to another world, unless the rules are different for transporting only her mind.

As for the tube, I don't think Sakura's mind got sent there, nor her luck. Yuuko has been playing with that tube for a while now, at least since Chi's and Freya's gates opened. Some people have speculated that it contains Shaoran's payment (the relationship), and considering that it's stored right next to Ginryuu and the tattoo, it's a good idea in my opinion. I wonder, though, if the tube's existence in Yuuko's vault necessarily means that the scene in chapter 1 was symbolic.
