Tsubasa Reservoir Chronicle, chapitre 178
I'll post a backdated entry for 177 once I'm not so busy.

Public post with pictures of the chapter at jlarinda's LJ. Many thanks to sakusha for taking the pictures.

Update: Since from what I heard ladydarkmoon won't be able to post raws for this chapter before the 15th, I'd be thankful if someone could share scanned raws with the rest of us. Especially if it's someone using my translation (this is an exceptional week so I'm willing to open exceptions to the usage policy, though I'd appreciate being talked to beforehand). Of course, I'd be even happier if some scanner who believes in sharing (bless those) would get us Holic raws to ease the withdrawal of all Holic fans out there.

I'd say I'll do the SFX when I have actual scans, but I probably won't find enough time or motivation.


Chapitre 178
One other trap

-01- (splash: Sakura)

The truth that is revived
along with memory---

At the time of awakening, (T/N: Furigana/kanji mismatch here. The kanji reads "moment".)
the person reflected in those eyes was...

-02-

Extra text: Shaoran vs. "Shaoran"!
To whose hands will
the feather of memories go!?

-04-

Mokona: Shaoran---!!

-12-

Shaoran: Sakura!!

-13-

Sakura: Your Sakura
Sakura: isn't me.

-14-

Xing Huo: Will you make even the princess into a replica?
Fei Wang: Yes.

Fei Wang: I'll have the princess go on a journey.

-15-

Fei Wang: One that will engrave the memories of dimensions into her body.
However, I must have her live for one other role.

Fei Wang: Preparations have been made on the issue of her companions, but even so, a minute probability exists.
For that reason,

-16-

Fei Wang: the one leaving for the journey is a replica.

Fei Wang: With this, even if she dies,
only the body should return here to Clow country. (T/N: Ookawa has messed with demonstratives before, so there's a slim chance that he's referring only to the country in the mirror.)

-17-

Fei Wang: I'll change her memories into feathers
Fei Wang: and scatter them throughout several dimensions.

Fei Wang: That replica, believing it's in order to save the princess' life,
will go on the journey chasing after the feathers,

-18-

Fei Wang: without knowing that princess is also a replica.

Fei Wang: The power to transcend dimensions.

Fei Wang: The wings that indicate its whereabouts.

Fei Wang: That which will grant my wish.
Fei Wang: Now, that power will be revived.

-19-

Fei Wang: I'll install into the replicated princess the means
so that the she won't refuse to surrender the body in the end

-20-

Xing Huo: It failed, didn't it?

Fei Wang: However, everything shall happen from now on,

Fei Wang: not with failures like these.

-21-

Fei Wang: In order to grant my wish,

Fei Wang: when everything has ended,
I shall

-22-

Fei Wang: hold the power to transcend space-time in these hands!

Teaser: The enigma of "Tsubasa" was revealed!
What is the destiny
that the captive princess pursues!?

Any Chrono Cross fans out there to guess what's the relation between my "current music" and the chapter? (笑)

Page 13: Sakura looks so damn sad there.

Page 15: It seems our new bare-san is rather prone to typos. I mean, 事件?

Page 16: I confirmed Fei Wang's この with my teacher. If Fei Wang has actually been hiding in Clow-koku the whole time, a lot of things would fall into place, such as Sakura's "your Sakura", Seishirou's "just like your father", Clow-ou's "even though you were supposed to meet", and maybe Fujitaka's death (although the flow of time in whatever dimension Fei Wang is hiding in still eludes me).
