In defense of Hokuto Sumeragi

Oct 03, 2005 14:55

You know, I haven't followed X for a LONG time (Not that CLAMP have been active in it, anyway). But daaaaamn, I was checking some X sites a while ago... and was reminded of something that, MANY years after the events that spawned it, STILL annoys the fuck outta me.

( Hey, Hokuto-chan! Beat up those bitches who are bashing you, mmmmkay? HEAVY SPOILERS for the Tokyo Babylon and X mangas )

I always liked the implications of it, actually. Hokuto had hope that Seishirou could spare Subaru, that Subaru could forgive Seishirou... I thought it really sweet, honestly.

Yeppers, and I honestly doubt it could've been in other way. Come to think of it, after killing Subaru, I'm sure that Seishirou's next victim would've been Hokuto or Lady Sumeragi, the other ones who knew his identity. (And correct me if I'm wrong, but didn't Lady Sumeragi *already* get injured trying to defend Subaru, right after The Revelation?)

Still, Hokuto still had hope, and tried to guide both of her bitches men to salvation. Too bad her plan backfired.

This is one of those times when I think fanits don't understand CLAMP except for "ZOMG HAWT BISHIS!!11!"

Ugh. I know exactly what you mean. e___e; Stupid shallow fangirls.

Hokuto is bashed? I never would think fangirls were that stupid (wait a minute they are..). ;_; They really should realize the only person to blame for Seishirou's death is the character himself not Hokuto-chan. :/ Feels like the only sane S/S fan.

Hokuto is awesome. I loved her so much. >>

If Subaru evcer discovered his True Self, he'd forgive his life. But Subaru didn't - so, he had to die.

I thought it was actually that Seishirou had to fall in love with Subaru, as he had never loved anyone in his entire life. It's what he told Subaru when Subaru realized exactly who Seishirou was later on [something along the lines of "I thought you could change me and I could love you, but I don't feel anything."], and also what he told his mother in X when he had his flashback to becomming the Sakurazukamori.

From volume 7;

"If you and I ever did meet again... I would consider you 'special' for just one year. For one year I would continue to say that I loved you... and if I did fall in love with you, I would take the appropriate actions. I would look only at you... Protect only you... and if you did become 'special' to me, even slightly... If I could come to think of you as more than just an object... then I would not kill you. But... It appears to have been all for naught. Because seeing you suffer like this... I feel nothing. To me, this is no different from kicking a pebble across the road. It appears I have won this bet."
