CLAMP - Tsubasa Reservoir Chronicle, ch. 177-182

[oyceter]

Gah! CLAMP! I think you have now hit Yuki Kaori levels of "OMG!!! NO WAY!!!" plot twists, largely by piling them on like Yuki does.

In other words: SAKURA IS A CLONE OMG!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

So... the Sakura we got back from the ruins who had lost her memory is the actual clone, right? Not Sakura ever since growing up? And OMG! She starts to realize she's a clone in Tokyo and that's why she's colder to original!Syaoran, not because she doesn't like him. Oh, baby. And Fei Wang Reed now has real!Sakura's body, because fake!Sakura dissolved, right?

Wait, I just read rilina's post and apparently the scattering bits were clone!Sakura's soul, and clone!Sakura's body is also now in Fei Wang Reed's possession. AIIIEEE! No wonder I am confused! And Fai knew she was a clone?!?!

And! OMG! They are going back to the beginning, and I should hate how everything resets to "rescue the girl," but I don't, because it's ten times more tragic, because now it's real!Syaoran making the choice and donning clone!Syaoran's old clothes, and now they're trying to save both real!Sakura and clone!Sakura! And poor clone!Sakura! And oh, the angst when real!Sakura appears, because she won't know Kurogane or Fai and she hasn't sacrificed her leg for them or waaaah! And she's only know clone!Syaoran, and all of real!Syaoran's work has been for nothing! Also, is this how they're getting past the Sakura memory wipe?

So, when Yuuko says to clone!Syaoran that Sakura will never remember him, is that clone!Sakura or real!Sakura? Because technically, clone!Sakura has never remembered him at all (except via cloned memories). And they did go to rescue clone!Sakura, not real!Sakura. So possibly real!Sakura's memories are unaffected? OMG!

And! Watanuki paid the price to find clone!Sakura! Oh, Watanuki, I hug you so much. And it cost him the memory of his parents!

And I thought the looks in the Syaorans' eyes when they stabbed clone!Sakura was tragic. Little did I know...

Hahaha! You have finally caught up!

I feel so bad for real!Syaoran because real!Sakura still has no idea who he is. But then again, maybe real!Sakura has been watching through her clone somehow. I comfort myself with that idea because I am all Syaoran/Sakura 4EVA and cannot bear the thought of too much DOOM. (Though I still think there is DOOM in store for clone!Syaoran.)

And Watanuki! I can't believe he worried us like that! I still sort of like the idea that Watanuki is somehow real!Syaoran's brother or double somehow, for all that they don't look anything alike. There has to be some explanation for the fact they are closer than anyone else, as Yuuko has said vaguely.

In conclusion: OMG CLONE.

GAH CLONE! CLONE! MORE CLONES!

Oh poor Watanuki. I am still very worried about him and curious about their connection and waaaah!

I should say more, except OMG CLONE!

::flails at you::

Mostly it makes sense to me because it restores the proper Sakura:Syaoran ratio to the universe.

I know! *flails back*

I am now hoping original!Sakura and clone!Syaoran talk and mostly that clone!Sakura and original!Syaoran talk because omg! Clone!Sakura can commiserate with him!

Although honestly, I am fine with pretty much any configuration of Sakura/Syaoran.

OMG

Hi, please sign your comments. Also, if you're using "gay" as an insult, please stop. I don't want homophobia in my LJ.
