Tsubasa 9
Posted: March 24, 2007 Filed under: Tsubasa Reservoir Chronicle 1 Comment »You know, at this point I’ve gotten used to the same set of characters appearing in every series. That’s just par for the course. What I’m not cool with is the fact that CLAMP also seems to be ripping their own plots off now (RG Veda here, and X a bit further on). I read this some time ago, but I had forgotten completely about this part in the story somehow (even though Ashura and Yasha are on the damn covers of the Japanese release). My roommate was more than concerned when I let out a sustained yell when I got to the last page.
To be fair, we only get light RG Veda elements (though it’s been forever since I read that series too, I have the English version but I haven’t been keeping up), but still… that last scene hurt. There are some new story elements that come up here, including significantly more plot than we’ve seen in awhile. The team immediately teleports out of Shara when Mokona says that the feather is in the sky, and since Mokona-Sakura-Syaoran are separate from Fai-Kurogane, the question comes up about what happens during a separate teleport. Also, we get lots of commentary from the villian this time. Nothing clear, but whatever was going on has been thwarted somehow.
Dammit, I still like Ashura.
