The entrusted wish, the imparted power
Surge out now,
Until I am at the peak of my limits!
Chapter 196: A Moment's Hesitation
[02]
Jr.: SAKURA!!!
[03]
Sakura; ...No.
My
Real name is...
[04-7]
[08]
Jr.: SAKURA--!!!
FX: Ba-growl
[09]
FWR: The future is always ahead of choice.
That hand which you did not take due to a moment's confusion just now
Decided your path from here on.
FX: Bam
[10]
FX: Quick
Jr: !!
FX: Quick
[11]
Jr: ...Sakura...
These black feathers are...
[12]
FWR: The engraved seal of death.
Jr.: !!!
FWR: When the seal that was graven now, today,
Has enshrouded and exhausted that body, that time [T/N: "Body" written "corpse" as usual, with more pointed meaning this time.]
[13]
FWR: Will be the last.
Jr.: Why!
FX: Bam
Why,
On Sakura...!!
[14]
FWR: To grant my wish.
Jr.: Raitei Shourai!
FX: Eyes flashing with rage
Jr.: !
[15]
FWR: As it is, it seems you've grasped the meaning of that spell.
In that case you should understand.
That you can't win.
FX: Tightening
BOOM
[16]
FX: Hissing steam
FX: Ka-hack!
FX: Rough
FX: Shaking
FX: Swallow
FWR: If you take the next one,
You'll die.
[17]
FX: Drip drip
FX: Hissing steam
FWR: ...Do you fight for the sake of a wish as well?
Will the end of your wish and mine become the same?
FX: Light
FX: Bam
[18]
FX: Boom
FX: Crash crash crash crash
Jr.: !?
[19]
Jr.: Saku...ra...
That glaring difference in power--
Both the hand and the wish
Did not reach.
Wow. It's more dramatic now that I've taken the time to actually read what FWR was saying. Heartless bastard that he is, he's pretty much completely correct in everything he says in this chapter--not least because most of what he says is exactly what Haruka said in this week's chapter of xxxHOLiC. And have we ever had these sort of closeups on his face?
Also, the hand motif that's been running throughout the series finally reveals its origins/point. The spread pages in this chapter remind me a bit of the first Utena opening, but that's probably just because I sang that song yesterday at karaoke.
