Ohkawa, you own me a brain!

[taotrooper]

Instead of sulking about how the new CLAMP shoujo-disguised-as-shounen manga is going to suck big time, I'll resort to the usual brainkiller post. You know me. The usual.

I was gonna go to bed with my blank mind, but nmow I can't. Before that, I downloaded some advanced TRC and HOLiC raw scans, scanned by the noble and generous flowright. A couple of coherent things to say about them.

- The return of the kitsune kid from the ramen cart! *-* And it saved Watanuki, awesome! God, I love this manga!

- No surprises about the true identity of the "secret weapon" of the "bad guys" from TRC. Really, I read in a board some people theorizing about it, and they were right.

OK, that's it. Now to the actual brain damage. Scan by Flowright, but I resized it and compressed it a little. Still big, though.

Also, the "secret weapon"? Even I had figured that one out. Bah. I was hoping to be wrong.

Yep, with the clone sexless being that is Nataku from X, you would expect he would be the guy in the shadows and not an alternative!Syaoran.

This reminds me of a videogame I played (one of Zelda) when you have to face your own shadow. It's gonna be like that, two Shaorans fighting, but with Sakura-hime watching and going "OMG hoe!" I'm still uncertain if this fact is gonna make the story more interesting or more predictable.

That's exactly what I feel about it. It could be good; there are countless stories/legends/whatever where the hero has to face "himself" as a part of his growth. That's why Luke sees his own face under Vader's mask, that's why Harry and Voldemort have "sister" wands, that's why Ged from the Earthsea books has to face his own shadow... there are countless examples.

The thing is, I'm not sure it can be pulled off in TRC. So far it reads too much as "Sakura is a princess and Shaoran is peasant and they're childhood friends but what happens when she loses all her memories WILL LOVE TRIUMPH??? Plz buy kthnxz!"

XDDDDDDDD
TRC is nothing more of a canon, CLAMP-made baaaaad AU fanfiction. And Fye and Kurogane are the Gary Stus original characters XD

And now I shut up.
