How to conclude Tsubasa Reservoir Chronicle


Unfortunately, Kodansha does not seem to be in the mood to give the animation side of Tsubasa Reservoir Chronicle the conclusion it needs and deserves right now, not because nobody wanted a proper conclusion after they found out the truth in Chapter 220, but because the production crews wouldn't dare cover the backstory that reveals one of the manga's biggest plot twists. Remember the time when Veronica Taylor said that the title of "Pokemon Master" was merely a form of spirituality? What if it turns out that Fei Wong Reed's influence went beyond CLAMP's borders and even went into the Pokemon series? Surely this could explain why becoming a Pokemon Master is the moment right before death. For all we know, Ash "Satoshi" Ketchum could have a death seal inside him similar to the one placed on Princess Sakura, and we must remember that Syaoran saying "Happy Birthday" to Princess Sakura was the moment right before the death seal inside her activated.

Of course I would like to have a real conclusion to Tsubasa Reservoir Chronicle, and they should focus on the manga chapters after the chapters where Princess Sakura got stabbed and disintegrated into petals. It doesn't matter whether it will have another two OVAs or one last movie similar to The Last: Naruto The Movie or get a new anime similar to Inuyasha: The Final Act, anime fans want to see how Kurogane defeated Fei Wong Reed, as well as know the truth behind the biggest plot twists revolving around Princess Sakura.

However, Tsubasa Reservoir Chronicle was considered to be too violent that NHK had to cancel Season 3, and the remaining chapters may be similarly too violent to have an animated adaptation. This could also be yet another reason Super Smash Bros should remain a celebration of Nintendo's video game history. Not even Ridley's brutal combat debut trailer or Galeem's massacre or the bad endings in Super Smash Bros Ultimate's Campaign mode could match up to the moment the death seal inside Princess Sakura activated. Tsubasa Reservoir Chronicle is so violent that it would make the Pokemon Adventures manga not as dark as you think. Perhaps it's better that Tsubasa Reservoir Chronicle's final chapters do not get an animated adaptation because of the amount of PTSD it would give to anime fans.
