King of Clow!Clow: now with a name

You know me. I speak fangirl Japanese. I haven't memorized all kanas. I use Jim Breen, I use JWPce, I use Babelfish when desperate/lazy. I normally wait to translations like a good girl because I'm not that masochistic.

But certain sequences of katakana send off my alarms. Like, for instance, "Clow Reed".



*dead*

All the mystery, and the King's name turns out to be CLOW?! Christ on a cracker.

For my own reference:
モコナ貴方達は
私ともう一人の魔術師クロウ・リードが創つたもの

*goes into capslock mode for a moment*

I AM SO RELIEVED HE'S NOT ERIOL.

*ahem* No, really. I am. One brain-breakage less. They could have spared us the mystery and the "King of the Predecessor" Engrish then, though.

And I can't wait for a translation because, y'know, there's a picture of Watanuki there and I really want to know what they're saying. O___O Although at the same time I sort of hope it's *not* important, because explanations about Watanuki should be in HOLiC not in its evil twin.

Oh, but it's fine. I've heard summaries from before the scans came up, and it seems that Yuuko just tells R!Syaoran that Watanuki was taken care of and stuff, and he thanked her. NOTHING ELSE, no explanations.

The King of the Predecessor was a stupid thing from the beginning, after all. Were they trying to look OMGmysterious, or is it a simple reason like writing "King Clow of Clow kingdom" in English sounds retarded? (because really)

Ahora que lo mencionas también me siento aliviada. He resistido el crack de Tsubasa todavía con una sonrisa, pero eso habría sido demasiado O__o

No pierdas la ¿fe?, que las CLAMP ya idearán alguna forma de sobrepasarse en TRC XD

El verdadero peligro de Fei Wang Reed: todo lo que toca se convierte en plothole.

:O

Claro, así todo tiene sentido. Clow y Yuuko quieren que termine su "sueño" para que se deje de destrozar su querido canon. Y Clow un poco para que salgan bien sus ships, pero con eso nunca hubo esperanza...

Y hablando de plotholes, si eso que se ve en la página 21 es el círculo mágico de Fei Wang, entonces no tiene nada que ver con el de Clow... o sea que Xing Huo vuelve a su condición de destrozo del canon en potencia. Yay?

LMAO!

Peroooooo... no sé, esa cosa debajo realmente es un círculo mágico? Lo veo demasiado simple comparado con los *cuenta* cuatro círculos mágicos que hemos visto en el cardholicverso. Hacen falta como más simbolejos, más círculos concéntricos, algún ciclo de algo... No se me antoja como la insignia de la competencia de Clow. Si se supone que es 1337 como dice este capítulo, su círculo no sería tan cutre.

Puede ser que tengas razón. La verdad que como insignia sería bastante decepcionante.

No se me antoja como la insignia de la competencia de Clow.
... y ahora me lo imagino con el logo de Pepsi XD

A mí me parece un ala de Sakura pero un poco más grande.

Fei Wang Reed: Pide más! Next generation! Hasta los slogans le pegan, qué horror.

Well, there goes the theory. And that's actually good, because otherwise that two Clows and one Yuuko fic makes no sense...

Hey now. It's just two dimensions. More respect for Teh Clowmeister.

Eriol = Clow in terms of awesome in my books. But I'm biased.

teh clow is indeed awesome,

and to be fair, eriol>clow in my book for the simple reason I have (been accused of having) a closet shouta complex. ^^'

(you know, the complex where a woman is attracted to boyish types or actual little boys younger than 15)
