No giongo today.


Chapitre 175
Crossing blades

-01-

Shaoran: ... You are myself, so

Shaoran: ... with these hands, I'll make it end.

Extra text: The one fate will choose,
the one who must survive,
which Shaoran will it be?

-02-03- (splash: Fai, Kurogane, Mokona, Sakura and Shaoran)

O people who wound and have been wounded!
It is all right to simply sleep for now,
amidst the infinite silence---

-04-

Extra text: As a battle to the death begins,
the people who were left behind...

-06-

Kurogane: ... What, you ain't going after him?

Fai: I don't have magic power anymore.

Fai: Besides,
even if I did...

-07-

Fai: ... I'll wait.
Even if it's painful.

Mokona: Will Shaoran be okay...?

Tomoyo: I cannot cross dreams anymore.
Tomoyo: All I can do is believe

-08-

Tomoyo: that they will return without fail.

Mokona: Mokona's
gonna believe, too.

-09-

Seishirou: I had a bad time...

Fuuma: You brought it upon yourself. (T/N: Fuuma changes the verb that Seishirou used to the causative in this line. Together with his facial expression and Seishirou's comment later, I'm inclined to believe this is what he meant.)
Fuuma: I'm not wrong, am I?

Fuuma: From the start you intended to hand over that feather
to that child.

Seishirou: Something like that.

Fuuma: You're such a troublesome person.
Fuuma: As soon as someone catches your eye, you want to bully them.

Fuuma: That's why those twins are running from you.
And even I got in trouble because Kamui downright hates me as well.

-10-

Seishirou: You reap what you sow, right.
Fuuma: Who knows?

Fuuma: Now,
although it'd be nice if he came back safely,
Fuuma: ... that might be difficult.

Seishirou: ......

Fuuma: Back when I crossing worlds, I wonder if that was Shaoran-kun?
The one I met was the kid who was your former student.

-11-

Fuuma: He was strong.
Fuuma: So much that he probably can't be compared to what you described.

Seishirou: Those with no hesitation are strong.
Seishirou: Even more so if they can feel neither the pain of the body nor that of the heart.

-12-

Fuuma: And he's equipped with the magic power stolen from him.

Fuuma: It looks like the magic power of the right eye, which he still has, is such that the more it's used, the more it depletes the user's life and power, but
the magic power of Shaoran-kun's right eye was becoming stronger the more it's used.

Seishirou: If he continued to use it, would he surpass that magician's level when he had both eyes?

-20-

Shaoran: Raitei...

Shaoran: Shourai!!

-24-

Teaser: So that there is no night without dawn---
so that there is no dream without awakening,
reality has announced the end!!

Sakura: Shaoran!

Pages 2-3: Okay, maybe I need to recycle my knowledge of typical clothes world-wide, but people were saying these are Indian clothes? Whaaat?

Pages 6-7: Okay, Fai, now repeat all that for Sakura, then I'll believe you.

Pages 7-8: Hugs to Mokona and Tomoyo. And what's up with the last panel of page 8? Is Sakura's body disappearing into the dream?

Pages 9-10: Fuuma+Seishirou convo is made of awesome. And I think my translation of Fuuma's line in page 9 was needlessly ironic, but it cracks me up.

Page 11: Oi, clone, you're making Sei-chan look tame!

Page 12: Apparently no one knew the trick to Fai's eyes, then, right? Ashura-ou didn't (though I wonder if the tattoo didn't counter the effects of both eyes), Fai himself didn't, and the clone looks like he didn't either (he looked like he was going to take the other eye back in Tokyo). Also, I wonder if Fai's eyes were always this way, or if the thing with his right eye only appeared after the real Fai died. I just had a stupid idea -- someone should really have stored away real Fai's eyes in case his stupid brother got himself into this kind of mess.

Page 24: I'm just repeating myself, but it makes me -so- happy that the first time Sakura finally dropped the suffix, it was for the real Shaoran. ^_^ (And yeah, I'm sure it's not for the clone. Sakura can be a bit on the monosyllabic side at times, but she knows the word "stop". If she had been addressing the clone, she'd have said that instead.)

Hahaha, it just now hit me that even the clone's and Shaoran's clothes mirror the Tokyo fight.
