Ohhh. Now that is striking. This frame in particular.
You could read as many metaphors as you like into how this matches the general Watanuki narrative here - Watanuki mirrored against a distorted image of himself. Is that his past self? Or Lava Lamp? Or the hole in the universe he's causing? His grief? The general weight of his existence? The influence he has on other people's lives? They all work well, especially with one Mokona being black and one being white.
But also (Bad Apple plays softly in the distance)
OH HELP, THAT IS TOO MUCH.
I AM OVERCOME WITH EMOTION.
It doesn’t even matter which Sakura is his mother, honestly it’s such a Sakura move. For his new name to be a literal promise that they will see him again.
So, that way, his an existence proof of their promise. Every moment ‘Kimihiro Watanuki’ exists that means their promise lives on. And every time someone says his name, it’s like their words are reaching him all over again.
OH HELP THAT’S TOO MUCH.
And that’s such a cute way to round it off! Watanuki hears Lava Lamp’s voice echo through the universe, making him promise not to vanish. And this time Watanuki can accept it honestly, because he’s already decided to do the same - for the people around him and for Lava Lamp.
#This would honestly be the perfect emotional note to end the chapter on#Except I can see the file names and there are seven pages to go#Somehow!#Not liveblogging the reservoir chronicle#xxxholic#xxxholic 87#Yuuko Ichihara#Watanuki#Lava Lamp Guy#Doumeki#Mokona#Fun how this is the same time as the previous chapter#Watanuki is out here having a time with Doumeki#Meanwhile across town Yuuko is summarising The Story So Far#Just so all the readers are caught up#Just in case!#Because she could leave at any moment!!!#But also how lovely that Watanuki's parents made a promise with his name#And his brother made this parallel promise that amounts to the same thing#and even though he's not with any of them there are layers upon layers of hopes in his survival#purely out of love#and he feels it all the way across the universe

Last week, in the middle of a pretty trash week in general we learned that Sakurai Atsushi, lead singer of legendary Japanese rock band Buck-Tick passed away on Saturday October 16th.
I'm not sure how much I've spoken about them on here.
I found them in late 1998. When I got that X/1999 fansub in Brooklyn where I first heard X-Japan, it sent me down a rabbit hole. I would find out the fandom and the country were reeling from the passing of X's guitarist hide earlier that year, in Spring, and I would find a stream of a tribute album. Hide tribute spirits.
This is where I first heard Buck-Tick. Their cover of "doubt" left me wanting more.
I would then learn that they had been around since 1983 (i was 3).
youtube
(this is from 87)
They evolved through many eras, from new wave to goth (?) to cyberpunk to rock'n'roll to a combination of all eras. Their influence can be felt even in modern visual kei. They are probably the band that made everyone in that scene wanna have at least one jazzy swing type song on their albums. Hell, Acchan's the reason Kyo is Kyo. Sakurai's look inspired many anime character designs (and I'm pretty sure Benimaru Nikaido from King of Fighters is based on 80s Buck-Tick....yes...they ALL had that hair).
In fact, a lot of their music was in anime (especially if said anime was about vampires. It always amused me that during the era where Acchan looked like a vampire, B-T were the band you called if you needed a theme song for your vampire anime.) Nightwalker, XXXHolic, Trinity Blood, and the very best one, the one that is actually scary, SHIKI!!
youtube
If you're not up on vis kei, you probably still have heard of him since he and Imai were in SCHWEIN with Raymond Watts from Pig and Sacha Konietzko from KMFDM.
He also had a band called The Mortal which did a pretty amazing Siouxsie cover.
youtube
I recommend Buck-Tick and the Mortal's entire catalog, most of which is on streaming now. I should make a bloody playlist.
I will add the playlist to this post later.
R.I.P. Sakurai Atsushi
one of the greatest vocalists ever, and condolences to the band.
I cannot stress enough how awful I feel for those guys.
This band was together for THREE FUCKING DECADES. No lineup changes.
Atsushi and Imai had the kind of vocal interplay you only get if you're basically best friends.
It's a terrible loss.
. . . and, . . . . no.
I can't end the post like this.
It's too sad.
This band brought too much joy to end the post like this.
I am leaving you with the saga of the paper mache head people.
in the 80s, for the album Seventh Heaven (an album I might actually like better than Sexual XXXX, I can't decide), B-T did videos for quite a few songs (they did PVs for pretty much every song on Sexual XXXX), and 3 of them feature Atsushi having nightmares about/seeing people with large fake paper mache heads. Then in the video for In Heaven they are playing a show for them.
youtube
youtube
youtube
They had something I think is crucial to every band now and forever: WEIRD ASS MUSIC VIDEOS.
You think it was jus the 80s?
no no no
check out UTA
youtube
Just your average performance video? No. They dressed up like rock icons, with ridiculous wigs.
This is what I'm talking about. Joy, kids.
Atsushi and Buck-Tick brought JOY, dammit.
enjoy.
I'll post a playlist later, I guess.
Atsushi Sakurai, rest in power you legend!

I don’t know. I guess I’ll know it when I feel it, huh?
100: Anybody on Tumblr that you’d go on a date with?
hey, keep this a secret but I’d totally date @space-pidge. She’s so cute.

Can I pick head-pats instead? No? Then hugs.

yes. 100% yes. I am the worlds #1 coward.
103: The first thing you notice about the opposite sex?
If they’re a jerk or not/

Um, I guess depends on the context? Like, my friend calls me babe but he uses it like a nickname so I guess it’s kinda cute? maybe??

I’ve never really had either so I can’t say.
115: Ever made out with just a friend?
Nope.
116: Are you happier single or in a relationship?
I’m not sure. Like, I know I’m happy to be single, and I haven’t really been in a relationship long enough to know. So I dunno.

Oh here we goooooo! Here’s the xxxHolic equivalent of Tsubasa's explanation moment! Where Tsubasa had a huge dramatic arc where we saw it all happen, here Yuuko just privately explains to the xxxHolic audience where Watanuki came from, just in case they haven’t been reading Tsubasa as well. And boy, what a lore to drop without any further context.
The little black Butterfly box is… I think, off the top of my head, Watanuki’s memories? That he paid to Yuuko for a mystery wish we haven’t had explained to us just yet? I don’t think we’ve actually seen inside it yet, so it's wonderful to see the item itself - a little pocket watch detailed with two tiny birds.
And how lovely that is! Two birds for the two twin Syaorans - they share the surface of the locket as they were both born from the same existence, and its vaguely shaped in a way that almost resembles the yin yang symbol (which is the shape of Lava Lamp’s soul). Except here they face each other, beaks touching in the middle with wings stretched out to either side, as if both are trying to protect the other which is what they have both done, several times.
I love it I love it I love it
#What must have this been like for the xxxholic only crowd#This must have been QUITE the reveal#Using plot elements that didn’t even make any sense on their own#Clamp really said Read Both Series Or Perish#Not liveblogging the reservoir chronicle#xxxholic#xxxholic 87#Yuuko Ichihara#Watanuki#Lava Lamp Guy#Oh oh oh and the locket is a clock!#Since so much of the story is focussed on TIME#trading away time and turning back time and being inbetween time#Gosh it all slaps

Here we are in xxxHolic: Chapter 87ish!
And eeeeee we have the moment of Watanuki’s creation! The moment where Lava Lamp’s wish resulted in Watanuki’s sudden existence! A moment that we already saw happen in Tsubasa, but would be wild to try and figure out without that.
And most importantly we see the moment of Yuuko defending him. She has her arms outstretched to either side of him, sheltering him within her grasp. He is in soft greys, while she is in stark black. His eyes are closed, head slightly tilted, while Yuuko looks directly ahead, her gaze firm. Both of their existences are abnormal - he has only just been born, but she uses her strength to shield him from the forces that would use him for their benefit and leave him with nothing. Yuuko has made a place for Watanuki within existence itself, just as her gesture here shows that he has a place with her in this moment (as well as later). And her little smoke trails wind around her and Watanuki both, showing that their fates are wound together and intertwined.
It’s a 10/10 moment, no notes no flaws, only endless admiration.
#And Watanuki doesn’t even know!#He doesn’t know that she was there for him from the very moment he existed!#She stood up for him before anyone else even knew he was real!#She has ensured his existence even when she knows her own is running out!#Oh Yuuko what will we do without you#Not liveblogging the reservoir chronicle#xxxholic#xxxholic 87#Watanuki#Yuuko Ichihara#And those butterflies that are doing the thing again#Where they phase through both the background and the clothing#They exist in multiple layers of existence at the same time#Or they exist between existences#Their existence depends on things aligning and overlapping in a certain way#Just like Watanuki!

Ok the narrative takes a bit of a turn towards ideas like suicidal ideation, so if you don’t want to deal with that today you can safely avoid this post. The pages are safely under the Read More.
There's also blood.
See this is the other thing that undoes the Cardcaptor Sakura dance - I don’t think CLAMP would write that Cardcaptor Sakura was murdered. It’s just a bit dark for what the series is.
I call shenanigans. Something else is at play here that will make sense later, but for now CLAMP are cackling as they watch at least some of the fandom 15 years ago genuinely believe that Cardcaptor Sakura and Syaoran grew up to be murdered by Evil Wolverine. IT’S SHENANIGANS.
OH.
OH, poor Watanuki.
He doesn’t properly remember but on some level he blamed his own existence for the death of his parents, and felt that he didn’t deserve to live after that. That explains a lot about the version of Watanuki that Doumeki saw in the past - he wasn’t just alone, he was alone and genuinely thought he didn’t want to be alive anymore, because of what his existence has caused.
It’s so heartbreaking I don’t even know what to say about that.
Except that the difference lies in the detail of him being so attractive to spirits because of all the dark hurt inside him. When we first meet Watanuki he is hounded by spirits, even without his memory, because his body remembers and his heart is still broken he becomes self-sacrificing as a result.
UNTIL things start to change. We heard in the previous chapters that Watanuki doesn’t see spirits like that as much anymore. He has begun to heal. He isn't alone anymore. He doesn't think he would be better off never existing, and knows that there are people who are happier now that he exists.
Watanuki has decided to keep living, and so the pain the spirits found so delicious is nowhere near as strong as it was before. It’s so interesting to me that his character arc matches the supernatural arc around his existence. ‘He wasn’t supposed to exist and was meant to disappear’ becomes ‘he has a place he is loved and that sustains him’ - and ‘he wanted to die from guilt’ becomes ‘he wants to live for the people he loves now’. It’s a wonderful parallel arc that you can’t even spot happening until afterwards, because even Watanuki himself doesn’t know it's happening.
#Which is a long way of saying it gets better#And it gets better through hard work and difficult choices#But love is always there waiting to be grown again#And it will always make all the difference in the world#Not liveblogging the reservoir chronicle#xxxholic#xxxholic 87#Yuuko Ichihara#Watanuki#Also not me squinting at the locket to try see his real name#I know they didn't even draw it in#but I caught myself looking anyway#JUST IN CASE

YUUKO TIME YUUKO TIME
EVERYONE SIT DOWN IT’S TIME FOR YUUKO
We can see the edges of the store’s reality are beginning to fade away. Time is running out.
Time has been running out for a while but it appears that they’re really on the edge of it now, if the very fabric of it is wearing away even with Yuuko right there.
She is also giving away feet pics, for free. In this economy. Which is surely another sign of how bad things are getting.
OHH OHH OHH. ITEMS? I'm in heaven.
Yuuko mentions that the treasure storage room should be especially protected, and we know these are the items that were critically important in granting significant wishes. My question is whether they need to be protected for their emotional worth, or if they will be used again at some unknown time in the future? Or if their continued existence is important for the reality of the wishes they have already granted? I guess we'll find out eventually!
But let’s see what we have!
-Fai’s power limiting tattoo, that he traded away to run from Ashura
-What looks like one of the dolls from Angelic Layer, still in its egg (which, like, thematically appropriate. Because egg.)
-What also looks like a little framed picture of one of the fox spirits?
-In the next frame we have Ginryuu - or like, the replica Ginryuu that Kurogane traded to get back to Tomoyo
-Next to it are two swords that I think must be the swords from Yasha and Ashura in the Shura/Shara arc, that helped pay for Yuuko’s assistance with Ashura
-A bird in a cage with ivy growing around it. I don’t recognise this at all, so maybe I've forgotten something
-Next panel over we have Fai’s staff, traded away so that they could enter the castle in Koryo
-And then we have xxxholic items! The water vase is the one from when Watanuki went to visit the Ame Warashi
-The little things below it look like the Chobits ears Watanuki was wearing when they investigated the school rumour very early on
-The decorated tube on the little stand I think is the Monkey’s Paw
-The tube below it looks like the container that held the noodle fox spirit, which I’m only just noticing we haven’t seen in a while
-And a fan! Oh, the fan that tengu traded to Yuuko so that Watanuki would save her from the spider?
What a great selection of items! It's a fun way to showcase the connections between the various past arcs and storylines, while also reminding us of all the characters we've met and the wishes that tie things all together. The only thing I don’t recognise is the bird, so let me know if that's something I should know about!
#I want to guess Birdcage kingdom#But I don’t think CLAMP would cross continuities like that#They’re usually good at keeping them related but separate#Like they do with Cardcaptor Sakura#Hmm#Not liveblogging the reservoir chronicle#xxxholic#xxxholic 87#Yuuko Ichihara#And item tour!#I love random items!#I also really love boxes!#STACKS OF TIDY BOXES??#COMPLETELY TIDY SHELVES FULL OF BOXES?#Heaven

Ohoho Egg Time!
Or at least Egg Explanation Time.
I can’t remember exactly how much xxxHolic told us about where the Egg came from, but we see a little glimpse of it in the first frame here - in Acid Tokyo, when Sakura had her solo mission in the desert and brought back the monster egg that split into two when given to Yuuko.
It’s a lovely parallel to what happened with Lava Lamp and Watanuki.
And I’m sure Yuuko is just about to explain which two people the egg is for, but it’s Watanuki and Himawari! Or like, Himawari and Doumeki, but the Doumeki egg is specifically to save Watanuki, so that’s basically the same thing.
Yeah here we go!
With an addendum of ohhhhhh! So the different names and appearances was a deliberate choice in an effort to keep them both existing and not erased by the vague timeline rules!
That’s very fun.
Also you could also draw a parallel between one egg that was born to be raised (Lava Lamp) and one egg that gave birth to nothing (since Watanuki was originally intended to vanish). That’s slightly less fun!
Also if Yuuko opening the locket is the going to reveal the actual faces of the parents I’m going to scream.
I SHOULD HAVE KNOWN.
BUT!
BUT! MATCHING FAMILY MOMENT! WATANUKI WITH HIS PARENTS! WATANUKI IN LITTLE FORMAL WEAR!
WATANUKI AND LAVA LAMP HAVING MATCHING PHOTOGRAPHS WITH THEIR PARENTS!
And their parents giving Watanuki an auspicious name designed to protect him from his fate - which has worked so far! And even the word itself is about a process of conversion!
The meaning behind it all!
#Also don’t mind me but#‘Syaoran’s form was changed and his name was changed’#All Aboard The Watanuki Trans Parallel Agenda!#Not liveblogging the reservoir chronicle#xxxholic#xxxholic 87#Yuuko Ichihara#Watanuki#I think I’ve said this before#But he matches the Tsubasa Family#With the ‘second secret name that no-one knows’ that they all have#Meaning they’re all on the Trans Parallel Agenda!#It’s the train that drives itself!

Oh! Oh ok! We’re right back into the customer of the week and secretly I was a little right after all? She IS, sort of, psychically poisoning the food with her resentment, but the resentment is for herself.
I didn’t see that one coming, but very on theme with the earlier notes of this chapter.
And perhaps it’s not even directly at herself, but more about the process of knowing? She hates the burden of knowledge? She finds knowing the finer details of anything completely repulsive, and so she hates everything she herself does, because by default she knows every little step she’s taken?
In which we find she isn’t so much a parallel to Watanuki but the polar opposite - she hates knowing everything, and Watanuki doesn’t know anything, especially about himself.
Or… will this be about the past Watanuki? Who ALSO despaired with what he knew about himself, and so traded away that knowledge and eventually became happier? Will she be prompted to do the same? I guess we’ll see!
Ohoho, in the space of one conversation Watanuki has cut right to the core of it all!
The customer’s position is essentially Ignorance Is Bliss. What she doesn’t know can’t hurt her. Anything she doesn’t know, she can pretend doesn’t exist at all.
And present day Watanuki knows all too well that that isn’t the case. Both in terms of what he knows about Body Memory, but also in the way that he doesn’t know anything about his past, but he knows that it happened, and he knows NOW that he was still loved even if he can’t remember it.
So the customer’s facade is flawed and would lead to disaster if she invested in it too heavily, once she realised how flimsy it was, so Watanuki’s going to get to the real problem for her instead.
Which we will see… NEXT TIME! Probably?

Ooooh! I didn’t expect that if Watanuki knew his original name, Evil Wolverine would have been able to manipulate him back to whatever Evil Wolverine intended of him, but it makes sense at least. If Watanuki doesn’t even know his birth name then it can’t be used against him. And so Evil Wolverine has no idea where he is.
Which makes you think a bit doesn’t it. Is all Evil Wolverine needs to track someone… their name? Specifically their birth name? It would make sense why he was still able to track the Tsubasa Family even after they deviated from his course and started doing things in a new order. If he knew even just one of their birth names, he could find them - and like, Fai is a great candidate for that. Fai was the mole, so it would track that he was also there secondarily so that Evil Wolverine could always watch them.
I don’t think Evil Wolverine would have access to Lava Lamp or Kurogane’s original names. He might have had Sakura’s, since he’s in the Clow Kingdom, but then again maybe it was Clone Syaoran as well? Due to the technicality of his name being given to him at the moment he started existing? At the very least Fai is the only one that seems like an easy Yes and not a Maybe.
Also, in hindsight, Evil Wolverine not knowing where Watanuki is shines a bit of light on the fact that whenever Yuuko has been seen interacting with Evil Wolverine in any way (ie, spying on him, commenting on his plans, or even that one time she tracked his location) Watanuki has never present. She always did that without Watanuki around, so that even if it backfired, Evil Wolverine did not get a glimpse of where Watanuki was. I never knew any of that before but it all connects so well!
And that chilling panel on the left there! With Evil Wolverine above the sky filled with souls he stole from innocent people. Especially since it’s these souls that he used to create his replica people, and we’ve seen what’s become of most of them now.
And! I really like the wing! The single solitary wing rising from the bottom left corner, pointing straight towards Watanuki in the next frame over. It’s a good call back to the iconic wing behind the Tsubasa logo, in a series all about wings and feathers, and how Watanuki was secretly central to that storyline all along.
#Even if he didn’t know!#Even if he didn’t do it directly!#He was important the whole time#Not liveblogging the reservoir chronicle#xxxholic#xxxholic 87#Yuuko Ichihara#Watanuki#Evil Wolverine#And this doesn’t even mean anything necessarily#But oh the layout of the page#With Evil Wolverine Watanuki and the Wing making a triangle#And Watanuki’s gaze looks down and to the left#Drawing your own gaze towards the wing and away from Evil Wolverine#Meanwhile Evil Wolverine looks up and away into things we can’t see#Breaking the unity of the page - and his background is a different colour too#I just think it’s neat!
