Tsubasa!!!!
Eeeeeee! I just read spoilers for Tsubasa (up to all published volumes) and
AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!!
WTF?????????????????????????????????????????
That is so INCREDIBLY brilliant. And mind-bending like drugs are involved.
OMG OMG OMG.
But Syaoran. I feel like crying and staring and going OMG OMG OMG. And Fai. Oh, Fai. The quirky, seemingly sweetly laid-back Fai. Compared to whom it turns out Hakkai (from Saiyuki) is well-adjusted and with a happy family background. OMG, Fai. But at least now we have a clear winner for the worst parent and worst life in anime/mangadom. Heck, if it wasn't for the fact that it is manga, I'd say he should be somewhere on heavy sedation meds and psychiatric care. I never thought I'd ever think Kurogane is the healthiest, least messed-up, least dark of the bunch, but compared to Fai and Syaoran he is like Polyanna.
I nearly screamed when I found out that the Syaoran we know, the one who's been there since the beginning of the story, the one who came back to the dig, and who was so determined to save Sakura, ready to give anything, who was so incredible is...
a clone!!!!!!
And that the real Syaoran has been captured by the bad guy who keeps him in a tank. And the clone is supposed to collect the feathers of Sakura for the bad guy and bring them back. But the real Syaoran managed to get to him and gave him half his heart so the clone!Syaoran really thinks and feels the way the real Syaoran would (and doesn't know his clone status). OMG OMG OMG. And that is why clone!Syaoran is blind in one eye, because that is where the real Syaoran sealed the magic. And that is why the real Syaoran is blind in the eye too, because he gave it up to create that magic (what is with Tsubasa and fixation on hurt eyes? We have Fai giving up his eyesight etc etc).
OMG OMG OMG.
He loves Sakura so freaking much.
I kinda feel like crying.
But then the spell is released and clone returns to his 'natural' state. OMG OMG. And stabs Fai. OMG (Who is made into a vampire as the only way to stay alive, and since he has no interest in living, he has to drink Kurogane's blood to live OMG).
And then real Syaoran is back as result of all the above events but but but...
Sakura.
Sakura.
WTF is this? Are they trying to do the Farscape storyline? *weep*
Because of course she doesn't remember Syaoran and her love for him, because of the witch's price for help to her. So she has no knowledge of Syaoran except for the new memories she's made with clone during travels, where she fell in love with him all over again. So this new Syaoran is not her Syaoran and it all has to start all over again.
And Fai! Fai!!!!! He's had the worst life ever. He isn't even Fai, he just took on the name of his dead twin brother. And twins were concidered unlucky, so after their mom killed herself, their father put them in a tower
To quote wiki:
Loathing the twins, but fearing that even greater misfortune would arise from killing them, the king decided that the only way to stop the "curse" of the twins was for them to be unhappy. He gave them an ultimatum: have one kill the other or have them both locked up separately in a place where magic is ineffective and time does not flow. Since both refused to kill the other, they were thrown into a tower residing in a deep valley where the bodies of sinners were thrown. Fay was imprisoned atop the tower, and Yuui was confined at the base of the tower. Both were condemned to stay there "until the world's destruction."
However, despite the twins' unhappiness, the number of dead "sinners" dumped into the base of the tower began to grow. While Fay looked on from above, Yuui tried endlessly to climb up the prison so both Fay and himself could escape, even using dead bodies as a ladder, but the wall was too high for him to scale. As time passed by, the king of Valeria himself became insane; he executed every person in the country until only he, Yuui, and Fay were left before jumping into the valley himself and committing suicide in front of a horrified Yuui. He then reminded Yuui that their birth was the reason for the country's misfortune, and that Fay and Yuui would now "pay for that sin" by being the only people alive in Valeria.
Eventually, Fei Wong Reed appeared from another world, and offered them a chance to escape; the catch was, however, that only one of them would be able to, and they had to choose which one. Fay chose to save Yuui, resulting in Fay being thrown from the tower to his death. Fei Wong then tampered with Yuui's memory to make him think that Yuui had chosen to save himself at the cost of his brother's life, allowing Fei Wong to use Yuui's guilt in order to turn him into his servant. In order to bring his twin back to life, Yuui allowed Fei Wong to bestow two curses upon him; one curse was erased from his memory because Fei Wong felt that Yuui "had no need" to remember it.
...And it's only the start, it's downhill for Fai from there, OMG. No wonder he doesn't care if he lives or dies.
Also, I don't normally see slash, but Kurogane/Fai? Yeah.
This post probably made no sense to anyone.
AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!!
