syaoran-shrine

I believed that there were three Syaorans : Syaoran Li from Card Captor Sakura (CCS|Syaoran), the Syaoran from Clow country (Clow|Syaoran) who is the "hero" of TRC together with Kurogane, Fye and his chidhood friend Sakura, and that mysterious Syaoran (Black|Syaoran) [picture] who've been in some kind of tube for 15 volumes and who I believed to be "bad" since :
1-there're scenes where we saw him take control of Clow|Syaoran,
2-there's even a scene where we saw him trying to strangle Clow|Syaoran to death (or so it seemed)
and 3-he was in the hands of Fei Wong but we didn't know if he was a prisoner or if he was some secret weapon Fei Wong conserved in a tube in case of emergencies...
In the latest volumes (mostly volumes 15-16...), Clow|Syaoran started to act strangely at times : for a few seconds (or minutes), he seemed like someone else [2 pictures] and from what I saw in all the previous volumes, I though, very worried, that Black|Syaoran was taking control of Clow|Syaoran more andmore [...which was not the case...] ; this "strange" Syaoran who seemed to awake from times to times is in the fact the "true" Clow|Syaoran = the Syaoran BEFORE he arrives in the Clow country and get adopted by Fujitaka and meet princess Sakura: we believed that he simply lost his memories of his 8 first years of life but the truth is...he didn't have memories at all, since...he is a CLONE created by Fei Wong!!!


Let's make a trip to the past : Clow|Syaoran is the clone of Clow Reed's descendant,"Syaoran", that Fei Wong created, for the purpose of gathering the feathers. In order to retrieve the feathers of the Clow Princess, he would stop at nothing, and eliminate all who interfered.That is how he was created. But...The real Syaoran ( = the one I named "Black|Syaoran) copied his own heart into the clone throught his eyes. And he made it so that if the eye were to be removed by inserting magic, the clone would fall apart as well. Fei Wong could not create a limitless number of clones and have them carry the same strength as the original. And so, even though the heart of another resided inside him, if the determination to gather the feathers remained, that was all that mattered. So Fei Wong released him like that.He saw the time,he saw the place.The clone came to Clow country,and was sent inevitably down the path that would lead him to the princess who was the key to the power inside the ruins. Everything was decided according to that path...

Let's go back now with Black|Syaoran : The right eye's seal of Clow|Syaoran has been torn when Black|Syaoran got free : The right eye's power has disappeared...

When he gave away his left eye,Black|Syaoran magic was cut in half.As time passed, it grew,and that boy waited until he could break the tattoo that Fei Wang had imprisioned him with and was sent-crossing dimensions- to Yuuko's shop by Xin Huo (who got killed afterward by Fei Wong for helping him escape...); his wish : "To go to where this right eye came from." and Yuuko's answer : "Your price...has already been paid. Your "relationship". As well as "freedom" and "time". I will grant your wish.Sending you to the source of your right eye is within the acceptable limits of interference. I can merely grant your wish. After that, the rest...".[ Pikari-san's translations ]
So we are actually in the middle of a super battle between the real Syaoran and the clone ^__^

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Now, very important : what makes me think that Black|Syaoran = CCS|Syaoran? --->
1-Blood relative of Clow : Clow|Syaoran is the clone of Clow Reed's descendant,"Syaoran" (please note that XXXHolic and CCS worlds are the same)
2-The magic circle : the symbols beneath his feet are the same one as Syaoran Li's + the ying Yang thing that's representing Syaoran's heart


3-Fighting techniques + the same name of attaque (raitaishourai!)


4-The same sword

And Hell!!!, if after all that you're not convinced that CCS|Syaoran = Black|Syaoran then I give up...All what would be left for him to do to convince you would be to scream "I'm Syaoran Li from CCS" out loud...
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
EDIT (28/07/2006)Arrgghhh!!! All this seems convincing enought, but the truth is I've been reading a lot of comments on livejournals about chapter 123 today, and most of the fans still don't believe this is CCS|Syaoran,
So, to be totally fair and honest, let's say that in spite of all I've wrote and the fact I have no doubt about it, that we won't be 100% sure about this fact until it said CLEARLY in the next chapters who Black|Syaoran really is . God, so complicated...
Chapter 123
--->additional informations : When CCS|Syaoran (=Black|Syaoran) gave half of his heart to the clone (=Clow|Syaoran), he said this to him from across the "mirror" : "before the seal on your right eye dissolved and my heart separated from you, a heart that was not mine but your own might be born in you. I gambled on that coming true. I trusted that among the people you lived with day by day, your own heart would foster and grow. But,...If the seal should be broken and, despite all the time that had passed, it wasn't enough, and you were without a heart, If you continued to be only a created thing who acted wildly and forcefully,I would eliminate you." [ Pikari-san's translations ]

Chapter 124
There's not too much to say about the two Syaorans in this chapter but, well, here it is :
1-At the start of the chapter, Clone|Syaoran says :"There aren't any more feathers in this world. So there's no need to stay in this world any longer. I'll look for the feather in the next world." --->after that, Sakura begs him to stay, but he push her and leave to another dimension through an opening Fei Wong made appear in front of him
2-Let's go to the original Syaoran who got hurt in chapter 123 : Kurogane go near him and ask him about the symbol on his cheast and Syao answer : "It is the symbol of the man who murdered your mother.", which made Kuro very angry but thanks God Yuuko appeared and said : "That "Syaoran" has been captured by the person who murdered your mother. Besides, you won't find out where he is from this kid." Well, now it's official, the original Syaoran was "captured"; we had all guessed it a long time ago (at least, I did...) but now we have the official confirmation about it.
3-As long as Fye is alive, the clone will be able to use his magic...bad news...

CHAPTER OF THE WEEK : Chapter 125
There's nothing much to say except that Clone|Syaoran is gone and the one left behing together with Fye, Kuro and Sakura is the original Syaoran. He seemed to feel guilty saying it was his fault all the water underground had almost totally disapeared, because he appeared in that world, but Subaru stopped him and explained why it was his fault and NOT Syaoran's...
