Tsubasa Reservoir Chronicle Chapter 229- STOP STALLING!

Photobucket

Back when there was one of each...

I love Tsubasa.

But it is seriously pissing me off.

And I apologize to Pandora Hearts for putting its post aside for a day to talk about Tsubasa. But...at the end of the day I love it more than any other manga out there. Even if it is pissing me off now.

I would warn for spoilers...but given the chapter was 14 pages long...yeah.


I think that is my biggest complaint. I wait all week for a new chapter and all I get is a tiny little chapter where nothing really happens and I am left feeling sad and disappointed. :(

However...Tsubasa has always been like this. I was just reading them in full volume mode so it didn't seem so long to wait in between story lines. When these chapters get released into manga volume form I am sure it won't seem like torture to the reader. But for now I am tortured.

No one gets left behind!

So what happens in this chapter? Both Syaorans and Sakuras decide they are not going to live the future the clone Sakura saw. In this chapter it is impossible to tell who is a clone and who is real but that is besides the point. It doesn't matter either.

The cycle is not going to repeat itself because both couples have decided to stop sacrificing themselves for the other. All four have decided they are either all getting out of there or they will all die trying. There is no more I will sacrifice myself for you crap. Which is lovely and all but it only continues the cycle of Tsubasa and they need to work together to break it.

By our powers combine!

Both couples try using their power to break the glass. Fei Wong Reed cackles his crazy laugh saying their magical power will not break through the glass. However....both Sakuras are on the same side of the glass. And they are the ones with the real power. Yeah...so they touch hands and it is sparkle time!

Did you forget that O powerful baddie?

Fei Wong Reed actually looks shocked that the Sakuras are using their power over space time...to actually conquer space time. He even yells out he didn't use them for their power to help them. Yes evil dude, if you train a kid to use a gun they should never use it to rescue themselves. That is just plain crazy talk. But no, the Sakuras are going to use their power over space time and rescue all four of them.

Stop you guys! You're so unfair!

While Fei Wong Reed is having his crazy attack Kurogane and Fai use the opportunity to attack him (which I am sure Fei Wong Reed will declare unfair in a minute). Together they manage to get the tube away from Fei Wong Reed because they are awesome.

Just look what you did!

Fei Wong Reed's crazy pills really take affect. He claims the clones and reals can't use this power because it will destroy the universe. The laws of the world will be destroyed and it will all be their fault. In fact if they leave the tubes their existence will be erased.

Yeah....he is really grasping at straws at this point. Even if he was saying actually made sense ( all they are doing is trying to escape a place they are trapped in, not sure how that violates anything) it is a wee bit too late to be blaming them all for the collapse of the world. Fei Wong Reed is the one who destroyed the entire world and all its logic. They are just placing the icing on the cake. And a big HAHAHA for him saying they will be killed if they escape. He was going to kill them anyway. XD

The world is already screwed up! Might as well try to live.

In the end all the Syaorans and Sakuras say they will move on no matter what happens. They believe in everyone so it has to work out in the end. I mean...it can't get any worse right?

The way it has to work out is the world will not collapse because of all the sacrifices they all have made throughout the series. The cycle will change because they realize their own self worth as individuals and will not worry about the outcomes. In trying to protect another group they were never able to move forward. I am sure it will turn out in a positive way because their feelings are strong and it was only the fear of messing up the world that kept them from making the right decision the first time.

Or I could be all wrong and whatever decision Domeki makes in XXXholic is really the deciding factor. Yuko has said before the decisions that all the Tsubasa people made make the world unstable. Who knows anymore what would be the right decision. And that is the point Yuko tried to tell everyone all along. No matter what you do in life (at least in Tsubasa) troubles will happen. These people just have to be strong in their convictions and make the best out of the cards they have been dealt.

Or Or things will change because both Sakuras work together. Before one would sacrifice herself and the other's power was not enough to stop the world from falling apart and stopping Fei Wong Reed. But if they work together they will have enough power to escape the cycle and the tube without destroying the entire world. And that will only be possible because Fei Wong Reed was arrogant enough to create the clones in the first place, never realizing he was the one who made his own downfall. I like this idea better.

That being said...NOTHING NEW WAS REVEALED! It was all feel good and sparkly magic. I want some real answers/awesomeness to happen. I refuse to believe there aren't any more twists! But maybe all the twists are in XXXholic that hasn't been updated in a month...

We get it. All the Syaorans and Sakuras want to live. And yes everyone is hurt and trying their best. And Fei Wong Reed is insane. Now I want a new twist/new answer/progress. And I will have to wait another week (hopefully only a week) to see if this happens. ARG! I hate you Tsubasa...but I love you just the same. That is a cycle that will never break.
