Wow! Here comes another blow from Tsubasa Chronicles!

Even towards its end, Tsubasa does not disappoint at throwing another plot twist. To think I did not heed the one phrase I loved most in the series.

"There are no coincidences, only inevitability."

Anybody ever considered why acid rain Tokyo was the turning point of the whole tale? Plot twists, change of characters' behaviours, explanations of mysteries, increase of crossing-over between TC and xxxHolic all started from there. And nobody even thought why. We just went through that part without a single thought about it.

We were so hypnotised by the plot twists that we never considered the link Tokyo had with the entire story. Everything started and will end in Clow Country, so wouldn't it make sense if everything changed from Clow Country?

Recall the Asura arc, Shaoran and the group changed history by uniting Ashuraou and Yashaou, causing the original future of that dimension to be replaced by another.

Now, what the real Shaoran was trying to do in the entire story was to change the past so that he would not hesitate to grab Sakura's hand when she was abducted by Fei Wong Reed. So, since every action changes history, why is it not possible that Tokyo is Clow?

I'm still not quite sure whether Tokyo is past or future of Clow, but it would seem more sensible if Clow Country was the future, because that would explain the twin tower ruins. But I do not understand the sudden appearance of a Sakura feather when there was none before. Okay, my head hurts.

Anyway, CLAMP is really making magic in their manga with this plot twist. Divert the audience's attention so the magician can pull out a trick without anyone noticing. All I can say is, "Encore! Encore! Show me what else you got!"

And if it never crossed your mind before, I give Tsubasa Reservoir Chronicles a 10 out of 10 and is the best manga series I've ever read.

P.S. I know it's kinda late to tell y'all this, but there's gonna be another continuation to the anime, titled "Tsubasa Chronicles: Shunraiki". From the imaes I've seen so far, both clone and real Shaoran are gonna make an appearance.
