Tsubasa Reservoir Chronicle, chapitre 179
Sorry I'm late. I'd pretty much given up on the chapter being out yesterday and slept too much. Anyway, publicly accessible pictures of the chapter at
jlarinda's.
Chapitre 179
Two replicas (T/N: I've been asked what word is used here. The direct translation is "duplicate body", and the reading is "utsushimi".)
-01- (splash: Fei Wang)
When he dreamed countless times (T/N: I've opted for more conventional dreaming here, but this could be talking about dream-seeing instead.)
the person whom the
jet-black king desired was---
-02-
Sakura: Because I'm also
Sakura: the same.
-03-
Sakura: ... You knew it too, didn't you?
Sakura: That I wasn't the real Sakura.
Sakura: That's why
Sakura: back then,
you spoke of me...
Shaoran: The one who thought of that Sakura as the most important
wasn't "my heart"!
Shaoran: It was yours, wasn't it!!
-04-
Sakura: Your Sakura
is waiting.
-05-
Sakura: So please...
from now on...
Sakura: for the sake of the real person who is important to you...
Sakura: ... be free to...
-08-09-
Sakura: ... Even though we're creations...
Sakura: we're the same... so
Sakura: If those two stay alive...
it's not... the end...
Sakura: ... I...
Sakura: ... lo-... (T/N: I'm going on the assumption that Sakura was going to say "I love you", but it's possible she was going to say something else entirely.)
-16-
Kurogane: Him!!
-17-
Fai: Sakura-chan!
Mokona: What's this!?
Can't move...
-18-
Mokona: Sakura!!
Shaoran: Fuuka...!
-19-
Kyle: This time, I'll be taking the prize. (T/N: Okay, he didn't literally say "prize", but, well.)
-20-21-
Shaoran: Wait up!!
-22-
Mokona: Shaoran!
Mokona: Sakura
Mokona: got taken away.
-23-
Fai: ... The other Shaoran
isn't around either.
Teaser: Next time, what of those left behind in the thoroughly chaotic world!?
And today's lesson is... Sakura-replica is the love child of Naminé and Seishirou. X_X
Page 5 looks to me like enough proof that Sakura knew this at least from Infinity onwards. I still think she found out in Acid Tokyo, though.
Really, Yuuko... who is "all right" now? Though I'll laugh so much if you say that real Sakura is Clow Reed's 血縁.
So what is that soul we saw anyway? Even if CLAMP officially explains it away as a "soul clone", I'll still think that soul cloning is stupid and illogical considering that Fei Wang is using the heart of the real Sakura. And why did no one other than Shaoran notice that Sakura was a replica? So many people noticed other Shaoran with so much as a glance, yet no one seems to have noticed Sakura. I have this weird idea that the soul we saw was a projection made by Sakura's heart -- the feathers projected stuff before -- but that doesn't make Sakura any less noticeable than other Shaoran.
Ugh, incoming Yuuko monologue...
