Question: Tokyo Babylon/X - Seishiro's many hats
X is my first true foray into CLAMP, so I didn't realize until some time after starting that CLAMP imported characters from earlier works like Tokyo Babylon and Clamp School Detectives to round out the cast. Of particular interest to me is everyone's favorite one-eyed assassin, Seishiro Sakurazuka.
After asking around a bit, a friend of mine who happens to be a long-time CLAMP fan explained that the Sakurazukamori is essentially an agent of the status quo of Japan. The Sakurazukamori's job is to cut down potential threats before they have a chance to bloom into a bona fide menace. I figured that made a fair amount of sense, until I started thinking about Seishiro's second job as a Dragon of Earth. Fuuma prattles on about the need for a revolution, which seems to cut quite sharply against the Sakurazukamori's mission statement.
Seishiro only seems to be in the fight because of his Subaru fixation, but he's still furthering the goals of the Dragon of Earth. Is there something more to the Sakurazukamori than I've been told or does Seishiro just not care about the conflict of interest so long as he's amused? Admittedly, I've not read Tokyo Babylon, so there's heaps and heaps of information I'm bound to be missing. Whatever the case, might anyone be in the know as to why Seishiro goes about contradicting his own title so flagrantly?
