At this point I have no idea what the movie could possibly be about. Maybe it will be a 90 minute apology to all of those who watched this show? Maybe it will show Saya moving into the Real World house in an attempt to make real friends? Who knows? No one knows. Not even CLAMP. They don’t even know what happened at the end of XXXholics and they wrote the damn thing.
Um...why isn't this censored?!
Needless to say this episode has reached new levels of WTF. You have been warned.
Remember what? You weren't there!
Episode Summary of WTFness: Saya spends most of the episode being molested by Kanako or sitting on the ground looking all blanked out. But basically the nondead twins and Kanako explain with the help of Shinichirou that HAHA everything is a lie. They were all hired to do something…something that could not be explained in this episode or any other episode because where would the fun in that be. But yes. Hired to do something and that no one really likes Saya. The twins sound like they aren’t teenagers and are really running a prostitution ring and are only here to get stuff taken off their record. Shinichirou just wants to get paid and is tired of playing the love interest. He is probably mad because his paycheck was drastically cut since Saya never realized he was the love interest. Tsutsutori is there because she wants to study the real deal. Shinichirou gives Saya some Ugly blood and she remembers back like…I don’t know, not yesterday when she was trying to escape a facility and Fumito was like oh no I want you. Then it fast forwards to Saya being tied up in the “mansion” only now we see blood getting pumped out of her. During all of this talking Kanako is molesting Saya for some reason. To make sure Saya really has a bad day or something.
Is he really 19 feet taller than the twins?
Anyway the non dead twins and Shinichirou aren’t dead because they have magical talismans that keep them alive. But don’t worry the censored deaths of everyone else counts yay. Also they talk about how Saya would drink the Uglies blood after each battle and by only drinking the blood would she remember her past. One would think that Watanuki doggie would have used that instead of just asking the same damn question 48435 times. Things get slightly stupid when the twins realize that there is actually a covenant but this line of thinking is stopped when a real Ugly bursts from the house. The twins and Shinichirou haul ass as Kanako drags Saya away. Saya is a little bit upset at all this information. But before they can escape Yuuka and Itsuki are there to tattle. Apparently the Key Master sees EVERYTHING and their attempts to ruin the experiment have not gone unseen. Itsuki pretends to care about Saya but he is an asshole too so who cares. Everyone starts screaming at everyone else and Fumito is like OH HI I am here and I am behind the experiment. Enter shocked faces from no one in the universe. THE END!
They see me trollin….they hatin…
Oh snap. My popularity is going to suffer after this episode isn't it?
No no really folks. There was about 19 minutes of talking in this episode and I have no idea what they were saying. Only that everyone is an asshole now. WOOHOO! That is so creative, making everyone an asshole.
Oh and Fumito is the one in charge of the experiment. I know that is shocking to people…who haven’t watched this show. Mainly my cat and the homeless dude who harasses our customers for 50 cents. He needs to make a phone call!
MOG?! IT WAS HIM?! I had NO idea!!!
But for about 99 percent of the people watching this piece of crap…yeah. We knew that Fumito was behind everything. MAINLY BECAUSE IT WAS OBVIOUS! We couldn’t try to disguise his voice? Make his attempts to give Saya le poison less suspicious? Empty bird cages, hinting at what was in the treats, and running around with an arm that just got blood sucked out of it? How did we EVER put all this information together?! We all must be geniuses.
MOG! It all makes sense now. Time to wrap this sucker up. This obviously was the biggest clue that didn't exist in the series!
I guess the real “shocker” of this episode was the fact that everyone was in on….the experiment. Not that we know WHAT THE HELL THE EXPERIMENT IS?! Yes folks. I am still having anger issues over this. They spent the entire episode saying that Saya forgot, that they want her to remember, and that this experiment is lame. WHAT THE HELL IS IT?!? Why did Fumito run around Japan hiring crazy people to pretend to be Saya’s friends and then “pretending” to have them killed? What purpose does this serve? Why? Why me?!
Only Saya's name is ridiculous. Only her name. Remember that.
Until we know what the experiment is…..I hate everything. Everything. I mean…..were they supposed to help Saya remember the past? That can’t be as the “cast” said every time she was near the truth he (Fumito) would just hypnosis her again. Were they supposed to keep her happy and pretending she was a real girl? If so why bother keeping them alive? Real friends do not come back from the dead. They sorta…stay dead. So all of this could have been revealed in the exact same way except Teacher and Itsuki could have explained it. Without the “dead” people. A lot of “ “ going on in this post.
Newsflash: Yous is all bitches.
In case you missed the memo…Shinichirou is an asshole. I know this is super sad folks but he was in it for the money. Not sure WHAT he was doing but his glares at Daddy two episodes ago mean nothing. He was just mad the old man was keeping him from a paycheck. Really I should have known something was up when he was like oh yeah all our classmates are dead and I don’t care. Also look at me run up the stairs when I hear danger. I believed in you Shinichirou. My hopes and dreams are down the tubes. You were supposed to be the hero. Did the good times of egg lunches and cleaning up by the river mean NOTHING to you?
Oh don't worry. By the end of the last episode you all will be dead again. WEEE!!!
Really everyone is insane. Everyone. Whatever this experiment is they were not really told all the damn details. The twins seem to know nothing about the Uglies and are like what, they really are allowed to eat people? Instead everyone is just focused on being stupid. Like…..everyone is evil. The extras are really dead and they probably knew that coming in. So why would they risk being a part of this experiment if the creator has no problem killing off others? That is like dating a married man and then being surprised when he cheats on you.
I am so sure Itsuki was going to save the day. He was robbed!!
The best line of the entire episode was Itsuki being all pissed off. Because he is still “alive”. Sure dude. You were going to totally turn this all around. I believe in you.
WTF is this?
Oh and the molesting was completely unnecessary. Saya is already off in crazy is this happening to me land. She doesn’t need to be felt up too.
Saya. Just kill yourself right now. The future is not so bright for you.
So what did I learn from this episode? Well long ago Saya was trying to escape some people and Fumito was like no dude. Then he pumped some blood out of her and gave her other blood. Then he hired random people to be her friends to see if nature verses nurture really existed? Like why? WHY?! To learn about her? The only way to learn about an Ugly in human form is to build a village and hire some fake friends to see if she will hold on to her humanity?
Well newsflash Fumito. She don’t act human. Singing songs after people die is not a normal reaction to death. Well they aren’t really dead and they are actually assholes but she didn’t know that. No one loves coffee and blood candy that much. And one can hardly be human when they don’t question the serious lack of common sense and details in their lives. No one else was at school that day? Nope don’t care. One police officer for an entire town? Makes sense to me. Not one damn picture of momma in the house? Oh nothing to worry about. Just….so much fail.
Clearly the last 11 episodes showed this and I just wasn't paying attention.
Also is the forbidden fruit Saya has been consuming been her OWN blood? I am trying to make sense of this hot mess and have concluded that Saya has to be drinking her own blood. Because other Uglies have eaten one another and if the other Uglies were really made from Saya’s blood they would be stupid and clueless too.
I wonder what the Ugly from last week was complaining about. The extras were all real humans. Just go find one of them if you don’t want to eat stunt double Shinichirou. Or you know….tell Saya what the hell is going on so she stops killing yo ass. Just a thought.
So...if you weren't going to attack them why did you appear at that moment?
I really liked the part where an Ugly busts up the entire house and the “cast” decides to have a heart to heart 15 feet away. I guess their magical talismans were working. Probably won’t work that well now that Fumito is all pissed off and will take them away so everyone can redie.
I just don’t know what to say. I was waiting all day at work to come home and see how bad this episode would be. I guess I got my wish but I really wasn’t expecting everyone to be a Saya user. And I was expecting something resembling an explanation on what is going on. I guess we are supposed to be grateful knowing that Saya was really taking blood baths after battles and she really isn’t THAT dumb. Fumito is just making her that way.
But other than that…nope. Not grateful. Because apparently there are Uglies running around and there really is a Covenant. So all this nonsense didn’t have to be nonsense. It could have been real. Fumito could have put Saya in a real small town and used the actual people living there as bait/”friends”.
But until we figure out what the hell Fumito wants out of this experiment nothing will make sense. And even then I have no faith in this train wreck. If it comes down to a “monster” acting human because she was raised human….I hope Saya kills everyone and then herself.
Oh and Watanuki is clearly in this series to grant a wish. But it’s his own. To have CLAMP go back in time and not do this show so XXXholic could end better. The end.

I feel all this RAGE inside but I still can't bring myself to drop this series...
Anonymous- This show is like a really bad car accident. You have been stuck in traffic so long you just have to slow down and gawk at the tragedy before you.
Things are so bad that people are confusing this show with awesome. Like....really? Everyone being alive is a twist? More like stupid. Where the heck did the "fake" bodies come from? Some people had no where to HIDE when the monsters were eating their "fake" bodies. Just...just no. I do not accept this crazy.
I bet sales for the movie will be awful.
Hi. It's been a while.
We have known since long ago that this show is shitty. Just where did Tokizane hide when he was engulfed by the ugly (who only has one backbone)? What is he? A world class magician? Yet he worked for some petty money?
I can write better story even when I was a kid.
I dont understand how they survive even though they being eaten/killed.
Like nene got her head off then suddenly she standing outside the room peeping on Saya licking on the monster blood.
Eternia and swordlink- I am pretty sure we all can agree that the stray cat across the street could write something better than this nonsense. It makes no sense at all. Yuka was on top of the roof with the last remaining classmates. Where and when did they have time to get a fake body and put it in Yuka's place? Or was the real Yuka really the one "stabbed" but she was wearing magical body armor? Shinichirou was literally devoured in 5 seconds and we all saw it. The monster appeared above his head and squished him. Yet we are to believe that he had time to run away AND get some blood off the creature? Yeah I am sure that is possible.
Just....just no. I mean the backbone monster did say she didn't want to eat Shinichirou because he would taste awful. But that was the REAL Shinichirou so we can't even go with him being a clone/fake at the time. And if these were all "fake" bodies were they told ahead of time when the monsters were going to appear? Yeah right I say.
Yeah!
Don't tell me the uglies are cooperating in this drama too? That can't be, because they did say that all people other than the main cast died for real.
My senile granny can tell better story!
Pfffft.
Eternia- The only way all this OH SNAP we are alive crap could work is if someone knew ahead of time when and where the Uglies were going to appear. Can't be throwing out gallons of fake blood and dead bodies only for it to be a false alarm.
Maybe Saya was having a dream within a dream. This is really Inception Part Two. No one is alive, she really killed them all, and Fumito is the hero!
This is the part where the series got reeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeally confusing. You've got one girl who has a lot of friends that were clearly attacked by these Elder Bairns. Then suddenly, they all come back and say that they just pretended to be attacked. That's a great guess by the way, Christina. Some are actually thinking of an "Inception" route since Saya gets a lot of these visions and stuff.
Michelle- After watching episode 12 it would probably have been better for the "main" cast to stay dead. Or really just let Ms. Teacher do the talking and they could have walked away with their problems solved. I still think the real experiment was seeing how far they could push CLAMP fans. XD
