OK, here’s another piece of review which needs to be written. Badly. Please bear with me. Because this review consists of … chapters and it definitely be extra long if I discuss each chapter individually, I’ll try to summarize the important things only. On with the show then.
About Yuuko:
Kurogane has every right of calling Yuuko with various derogatory names, considering how she loves to tease him mercilessly.
Yuuko is definitely mischievous in her own way, but it doesn’t change the fact that she truly cares for Syaoran and the gang (and Watanuki, of course--and we all know she LOVES to torture Watanuki :D). According to Geo of Infinity, Yuuko was the one who’s pained the most because she knew everything that would happen to Syaoran-tachi, yet she could never tell them or do something to change all the agonizing future that awaited them because the rule of the world forbid her to do so.
I love Yuuko for her eccentric ways, but I didn’t think that I would ever sympathize with her. Now I do, though.
About going to Celes:
Just to make everything clear: Sakura’s not really dead. Her soul was separated from her body, but her life didn’t disappear. Confused? So am I.
To make things short, it’s important to obtain her body from Celes so that: 1) She’d be able to be revived; and 2) Fei Wong Reed and his cronies could not get Sakura’s feather-contained body.
Giving the prize money they won at the chess competition as the price (because it’s something that the four of them--Syaoran, Kurogane, Fai, and Mokona--acquire together), off they went to Celes. Using Mokona’s power alone, it’s impossible to choose which world to head to. Therefore, Yuuko asked Fai to use his magic power synchronously with Mokona in order for them to advance to Celes.
Fai wasn’t at all pleased at his return and meeting Ashura-ou. He was dreadfully shocked, however, at seeing a creepy looking little kid which stood along Ashura-ou. As if that wasn’t enough, the kid pointed his skinny hand at Fai and said, “You killed me”.
The kid was supposed to be Fai’s twin brother, but how could it be--since he’s dead (there’s a death scene of one of the twins in the previous chapter)? What’s with Fai having a twin? Just read on.
About Syaoran:
Syaoran got terrible headache as the gang entered the castle in Celes and it got worse when they proceeded to Ashura’s hall. What’s with that?
About Fai:
Fai’s apparently a prince; his father’s older brother was the emperor of a country called “Valeria”. Too bad that he was born twins and magically gifted--two things which was considered as bad omen by the people of Valeria.
They could not be killed because it would only cause more misfortunes. As a solution, the emperor banished Fai and his twin brother--Yuui--to a valley where time flowed differently and magic was ineffective. Fai was imprisoned inside a tower while Yuui was put under--in some sort of burial ground.
About the curse:
No, it’s not about the so called unlucky twins. It’s about Fai’s curse. Killing someone who’s magically more powerful than him was not Fai’s only curse, it seemed. He’s accursed of something else--a curse which could only work in Celes. This curse has not been revealed yet.
Well, this review turned out shorter than I’ve expected. Let me wrap things up by quoting a passage from chapter 155’s ending:
“The revealed past, the connected curses. The conclusion to the tragedy is?!”
