Book Reviews of Tsubasa: Reservoir Chronicle, Vol. 16
Book Review: A mother's love
Summary: 5 Stars
In xxxHOLIc volume 9, Yuko warned Watanuki to brace himself for very bad news regarding the Tsubasa gang. This is where we find out what that bad news is in the darkest, most powerful volume of Tsubasa so far.
First off, we find out the answer to the question of why AU Kamui is protecting the reservoir so fiercely (yes, it does involve a certain beloved CLAMP character who's been conspicuous by his absence thus far and yes, he does finally appear near the end of the volume). The big story, however, involves the two Syaorans who have been running around as we find out what is going on and more about the power play between Yuko and the evil Fei Wang. Yuko has been doing what she can to counteract what Fei Wang has been trying to do, but for reasons semi-explained in xxxHOLIc, she must ultimately remain fairly neutral despite where her sympathies lie. There is, however, someone who can act where she can not.
Although not quite on the same level as Yuko and Fei Wang, Fai is a very powerful magician - at least enough to figure out what is wrong with Syaoran and grasp the basics of what has to be done to help him. Throughout the series, he has joked about being Syaoran and Sakura's "mommy". But somewhere along the line the joke has become a truth of sorts; and at this point Fai really has become, for all intents and purposes, the mother that the kids never had to Kurogane's father figure.
When the crisis point finally arrives for Syaoran, Fai does what any real mother with his power would for their child and pours every fiber of his being into casting a spell in a desperate attempt to undo Fei Wang's damage to his foster son...
Which, of course, is exactly when his love for Syaoran turns on him and everything goes to hell.
An emotionally wrenching volume the events of which will affect the main characters of Tsubasa for a long time to come.
