Muaha! Another great episode! And it’s actually dedicated to the main story. The Clow Country we saw at the end of the previous episode seems to be the product of Sakura’s powers, meeting the book of memories. This transferred our protagonists to the Clow Country which Sakura remembers. There are a lot of holes in her memory, so the world appears without any people in it. It was a nice piece of background story. ^_^
Fay reckons that the feather is in a place which was mysterious for Sakura at that time. These are the ruins, of course. The fun stuff then realy begins when Syaoran realizes that Kurogane’s mother was killed by Fei Wong’s assistants as well. This does explain why he became more keen on helping Syaoran, as things have gotten personal for him as well.
Speaking of the devil, we finally see him again, after his long absence. He still has no way to see what Sakura and Syaoran are doing, His only method of knowing where they are is the Syaoran-clone, who actually comes into action during this episode. What exactly is his purpose? Why did he take over Syaoran, in order to beat the guardian of the feather?
Also, Fay finally uses his magic. Kurogane starts this by pointing out that if one wants to discern a certain magic, you would need an even bigger magic. Fay pretends to ignore this, but it seems that Kurogane did hit the right nail. For some reason, I’m fearing that Fay’s power is incredible, if it’s even enough to beat the magic which has sealed away a feather for more than 3000 years. Then, when Kurogane goes after the guardian, Fay wonders whether he shouldn’t try to help Syaoran, and in the end, when it seems that the magical influence of the place is preventing Mokona from transferring worlds, he creates a barrier which enables Mokona to do his/her magic.
But why did they end up back in the same world again?
Overall, great episode. Loved it. Want more.
