The Nyanko Chronicle Report 191A:
The Tsubasa Reservoir Chronicle - Chapter 209
Quick Splash Page Rating: A very nice page featuring the "Puppy Team" of Syaoran and Kurogane in Outo. I laughed so hard because you can see Kurogane's grin and Syaoran being soakin' wet. Of course, you all know that it was the moment during the sword training when Kurogane pelted a pebble on Syaoran's head.
Anyway, to start the first Tsubasa chapter for the year 2009 after waiting for so long... it was left off where Cloney was dragging "Li Syaoran, Jr." toward Fei Wong Reed. Ay, looks like Kurogane and Fai aren't looking so good after a cruel melee with Fei Wong Reed's minions. ^^;; Closer and closer is the Cloney on approaching toward Fei Wong Reed. Heh, he thinks he's so confident that his so-called wish will be fulfilled by having "Junior". *stick tongue out* Determined to save their fellow traveling comrade, Kurogane and Fai sprint to avoid Cloney handing "Junior" to Fei Wong Reed.
Then... all of a sudden... FEI WONG REED GETS STABBED IN THE CHEST!! O___o Now the following set of pages really gets very interesting! It seemed that it was Cloney being the one stabbing him. However, if you have good eyes and see it closely who is having the Hien in their hand... you'll realize that it was "JUNIOR"!! When I read this, I went like "HOLY MOKONA... NO WAY! "JUNIOR'S" ALIVE!!". Uso da yo! I really have to say that CLAMP did a great job on fooling this reader on thinking that Cloney stabbed Junior on Chapter 208!
Honestly, both Cloney and "Junior" really got more lives than a cat!! XDDDD
Now it was well explained by Maggie-san that Cloney didn't stab Junior at all. Had to take a look back at the chapter to see that her confirmations are right. CLONEY STABBED HIMSELF IN THE FOOT!! Major ouchies! X___x It's official: Cloney is one sick dude!! Thank you for the detail explanations, Maggie-san!! Good eyes, ne~ *deep bows
Enraged by this act, Fei Wong Reed takes out his sword and goes to strike at "Junior". Once again, Kurogane and Fai are shocked by this. Suddenly, Cloney does another crazy move and stands in the way to get stabbed by Fei Wong Reed's sword. I tell you, there was too much blood spillage in this chapter and I don't think its' going to be over. Junior is surprised to see Cloney take the sacrificial hit for him. Then, Cloney decided to unleash Fai's magic!! What is he trying to do?! Find out on the next commentary report!
The Nyanko Chronicle Report 191B:
The Tsubasa Reservoir Chronicle - Chapter 210
Splash Page Rating: Now Kasumi-san's right about having these lovely splash pages showing the character during the previous world. In this one, we see Syaoran and Fai making lunch at their house in Piffle World. Awh, those good old days were the most happy ones~!!
Demo ne, get your box of Kleenex out because this chapter is very bittersweet and emotional - especially for all you fans of "Cloney". I was very prepared to see this moment coming. *gives out handkerchiefs*
Cloney continues to release Fai's magic in the area and perhaps he was trying to do something behind Fei Wong Reed's world. Noticing about what Cloney is doing, he releases the sword and tries to attack them with his magic. However, "Junior" launches a counterattack with his wind element attack "Fuu Ka Shou Rai". "Junior" asks why did he do such a thing and is told that it has to do something that Sakura-hime told him back in Feudal Japan before she disappeared. Gosh, I really wanted to know the words that she really said to Cloney!! *sighs*
All right, so Cloney is losing too much blood and chance of staying alive is not very good!! Suddenly, his right eye begins to change as Fai's magic is no longer within him. Now to tell you the truth, the last pages was very emotional and CLAMP did a great job to captivate the emotions. The last moments of Cloney and "Junior" as each second passes by in their lives. Cloney's last words were spoken as he is in "Junior's" arms...
The sake of finding feather for Sakura-hime. Reminding him of remembering Kurogane, Fai, Mokona, Sakura, and especially "Syaoran" ("Li Syaoran, Jr"). For his moments of doing terrible and painful things towards them, he says that he's sorry. And at last, for his moments that were happy and kind with them, he says his thanks.
Just like that, the soul of Syaoran transforms into disappearing crystal fragments as "Li Syaoran, Jr." gives an emotional embrace. Now the question that lies ahead is all about the small piece of Fai's magic? Where will it go and what will happen? What is the next move for Syaoran, Kurogane, Fai, and Mokona?
Syaoran, Cloney... you shall be greatly missed now that you're gone in the many worlds. Even though you went heartless for a while, you always had a heart your beginning to your final end. Therefore, you will be honored in this small world that we live in. Sayonara.
By the way, where in the blazes is that white manjuu bun while this was happening?!
