The Tsubasa: Reservoir Chronicle manga series and its respective animated adaptations feature a large cast of fictional characters designed by Clamp. The series takes place in a fictional multiverse with parallel dimensions where several characters – taken from many of Clamp's past works – can appear in several of the universes as having the same character names and designs but differing histories and settings.

The story begins in the desert Kingdom of Clow where Syaoran, a devoted and kind archeologist, investigates its ruins. His childhood friend Sakura, the kind and well-loved princess of the kingdom who holds an undeveloped magic, mysteriously has her memories scattered across the dimensions in the form of feathers and will die if they are not returned to her. To save her, Syaoran takes her to the Dimensional Witch Yūko Ichihara where he meets two more of the series' protagonists who have arrived with similar wishes: Kurogane, a rough-mannered ninja, and Fai D. Flowright, a laid-back magician with a dark past. In order to journey across the dimensions, they receive a cheerful creature named Mokona Modoki, the fifth of the group, from Yūko. On their journey across the dimensions, the group decide to join Syaoran to retrieve Sakura's feathers, as a mean to accomplish their wishes. The protagonists are all linked by the series' main antagonist, the sorcerer Fei-Wang Reed who oversees the journey.

Using Osamu Tezuka's Star System, Clamp designed the series' characters based on the ones they used in their previous works. Few of the characters appearing in Tsubasa: Reservoir Chronicle are the exact ones from other series, most notably the ones from xxxHolic, series which often crossovers Tsubasa. The characters from Tsubasa: Reservoir Chronicle have received positive critical response by critics due to their traits, and development across the series. Various types of merchandising have also been released based on them.

Creation and conception

[edit]

Using the ideas of Osamu Tezuka and his Star System, the series contains various crossover characters from many of Clamp's series, including most notably Cardcaptor Sakura, RG Veda, X and xxxHolic from which the main characters are derived.[1] The series' characters were designed by Clamp writer Mokona,[2] while Syaoran and Sakura were chosen as its protagonists because Clamp wanted to use ones whose original series had happy ending. However, in contrast to Syaoran Li and Sakura Kinomoto from Cardcaptor Sakura, Clamp pointed out that they would have to go throughout the series to get their "own happy ending".[3] Nanase Ohkawa explained that while some characters appearing in Tsubasa are the same ones from other of their works, their traits and personalities were modified due to different backstories.[4] Clamp found drawing old characters again interesting. They were careful not to make mistakes since there were some of them they barely remembered how to illustrate. The team also decided not to draw inferior eyelashes which resulted in notable changes in the faces.[5] Little accessories were given to the characters in order to avoid unnecessary details and thus facilitate an easier transition to anime.[6]

As Tsubasa is connected with xxxHolic, the characters' designs are also meant to be similar. Like xxxHolic, the artwork is sometimes influenced by Ukiyo-e art style which leads to the characters have longer limbs. Another similarity between both the series is the use of one-eyed characters or people who lost their sight, which is meant to express the feelings from them. The characters of Fai D. Flowright and Kurogane were created in order to have adult characters who would side with Syaoran, who was much younger and was still in development during the series' start.[3] As a result of the manga being aimed at young male demographic, characters are designed to appeal of them such as Syaoran who appears as an action hero. In order to make fights more entertaining Clamp decided to include yells of fighting techniques for the first time in a manga of them. Although Kurogane was the only character who did this at first, the authors also planned to make Syaoran do this.[5]

A common trope Clamp uses in their works involve two characters being identical with the most notorious case in Tsubasa being the two Syaorans. Clamp aimed to make both of them equally different based on their actions despite being virtually identical. Clamp also aimed to create another link between Syaoran, Sakura and Kimihiro Watanuki, the protagonist of xxxHolic. Nanase Ohkawa referred to both clones appearing in the series with the term "utsushimi" (写身) to make them look like a departure from the original English word that fans often mention, aiming for different take of the cloning.[7]

Casting

[edit]

The two characters who share the name of Syaoran are voiced by Miyu Irino Irino said that ever since the introduction of the original Syaoran—who he also voiced—he sometimes had problems voicing both characters. Fellow voice actress Yui Makino also discussed Irino's role, saying that he was the most difficult character to cast because of the requirement to portray the two Syaorans. Irino said that he grew attached to the role since he played the role of Syaoran for several years starting doing the television series when he was in high school and that he was in college by the original video animations. Still, he was interested by the fact that the two characters he was voicing, Syaorans, were also fighting each other.[8] Sakura was Makino's first work in her work as an actress. Makino states she did not have to adjust her voice for that, finding the character similar to her.[9] During the series' OVAs, Makino mentioned that one of Sakura's scenes was very sad, and worked to make it appealing.[10] Kurogane is voiced in Japanese by Tetsu Inada who took a liking to the character.[11] Fai was voiced by Daisuke Namikawa. Namikawa stated that, from his point of view, Fai was hard to understand but there were signs in the manga that he suffered too much in his childhood. As the anime series did not focus on him, Nanikawa looked forward to explore Fai's background in the original video animations following the Tokyo Revelations trilogy. However, as the staff skipped the Celes arc and instead moved to Japan's, Namikawa expressed disappointment for not being able to portray the scenes of Fai. Nevertheless, Namikawa expected satisfaction with the way he worked for the series.[12]

In English, Sakura was voiced by Monica Rial. She enjoyed the series due to how cheerful are most of the cast and their visual appeal regardless of drama.[13] Kurogane is voiced by Christopher Sabat. Sabat compared Kurogane's characterization with One Piece's Roronoa Zoro and YuYu Hakusho's Kazuma Kuwabara, describing them as "the tough guy with a heart of gold". As a result, Sabat feared that he sometimes performs similar voices despite the fact the characters are different. He also tried seeing the original actors' works, in order to avoid to get a more specific delivery.[14] English Voice actor Vic Mignogna referred to Fai alongside Qrow from RWBY as one of his favorite characters based on their calm personalities in contrast to other works he has done involving characters who have a tendency to scream. As a result, he views Fai and Qrow as characters he can perform easily for a long determined time.[15]

The birth of twins in the country was a bad omen, which led to many misfortunes upon the country. The king imprisoned them within a tower, just before he killed everybody in the country.[42][96] Eventually, Fei-Wang Reed appeared and offered to free one of them. Fai chose to save Yui, resulting in Fai being thrown from the tower to his death, though Fei-Wang tampered with Yūi's memory to make him think that he chose his own life over Fai.[42][84] Fai's dead body is kept sealed in Celes thanks to a magical flower until the brother decides to give up on him when confronted by his past. Nevertheless, Fai has appeared in the drama CD series Private High School Holitsuba alongside his brother.

Sakura Kinomoto

[edit]

Sakura Kinomoto (木之本 桜, Kinomoto Sakura) is a young girl who makes minor appearances in Tsubasa by interacting with the Sakura clone. She makes her debut in the original video animation as a specter guiding the wounded Sakura clone towards the Tokyo Tower while in the manga she gives her magic staff to the Sakura clone so that the clone will use it as a payment towards Yuko. She is also present in a Holitsuba short voiced by Sakura Tange.[97]

Syaoran Li

[edit]

Syaoran Li (李 小狼, Ri Shaoran) is a man from parallel dimension from the one of the Syaoran clone reborn in the climax of the series. While he is not present in the manga, he is mentioned by the adult clone who tells his wife about how such man gave him an item that they would use to seal themselves for the next years until fighting Fei-Wang Reed.[98]

Unnamed Goddess

[edit]

An unnamed Goddess appears in Tsubasa World Chronicle in the world of Nirai Kanai. Despite the title, she is a human whom the original Syaoran believes to be a Kumari. Before the series' beginning, the Goddess meets the original Sakura and learns also of how the two Syaorans once were together with Watanuki in the way to the afterlife after Fei-Wang Reed cursed him in his last moments. As Syaoran returned to the world of the living, the Goddess requests his help to get the dead souls of her world to pass to the cicle of reincarnation. Her bodyguards are two men calling themselves Sakon and Ukon, though Fai perceives that the names be fake. The unnamed Goddess is based on Hana from Gate 7, along with Sakon and Ukon, whom are based on Sakura and Tachibana respectively.

Other media

[edit]

Various types of merchandising have been released based on Tsubasa: Reservoir Chronicle characters including plush, keychains and figurines.[99][100][101] A series of drama CD featuring them have also been released telling different storylines and showing songs by the characters' Japanese voice actors.[102][103] A spin-off series of drama CD titled Private High School Holitsuba series also sets them in an alternative universe alongside characters from xxxHolic as mates in the fictional school "Holitsuba".[104][105]

Reception

[edit]

The way the characters from various Clamp series has been praised by various publications with Carl Kimlinger from Anime News Network stating that fans from such series will enjoy more how they are played in Tsubasa.[106] Although Kimlinger found differences between some characters' traits from their original series, he still found their traits in Tsubasa appealing, pointing to Syaoran's and Sakura's relationship as "almost adorable enough to excuse the glacial pace of its [the anime] advancement."[107] Similarly, IGN's Jeff Harris enjoyed the cast of characters pointing the Syaoran's interesting role due to how he sacrifices his relationship with Sakura, while the comedy developed by Fai and Mokona was also favored.[108] Active Anime's Christopher Seaman found the romantical relationship between Syaoran and Sakura as one of the most mature parts from the series, balancing the other fantastic themes which added more variety to the series' audience.[109] In a general overview, Julie Gray from Comic Book Bin gave positive remarks to the characters' complex personalities and how the plot has been developed throughout its first ten volumes.[110] DVD Talk found them "endearing and memorable, and from start to finish this series will entertain viewers to the fullest", stating that viewers do not need to have read or watched previous Clamp works to understand them.[111] On the other hand, Chris Beveridge from Mania Entertainment stated while that people unrelated with such characters would like Tsubasa: Reservoir Chronicle, other people would "get out of the series."[112]

Mania Entertainment's Megan Lavey called Syaoran's and Sakura's introduction as a "pretty simple love story", while liking the characters' personalities. While its crossover nature with xxxHolic was also praised,[113] a bigger connection found in such characters was also found appealing.[114] Animefringe writer Lesley Smith stated that the main characters' relationship that make readers from the manga "devoted fans", giving praise to all of them pointing some gags they provide as well as how they interact. Smith also liked the use of other Clamp characters, which would persuade readers from other Clamp series to read the series.[115] The change that such relationships make during later volumes was also praised by Manga Life's Joy Kim; while also pointing all the main characters had been notably developed, he also liked how the artwork "does an excellent job of conveying the characters' confusion and anguish".[116] The English cast for the anime has been labelled as "done and very solid" with Christopher Sabat found as its best actor by IGN[117] while Jason Liebrecht's role as Syaoran has been noted to be better than Miyu Irino's work by Carl Kimlinger, who, nevertheless, praised both performances due to how Syaoran's emotions are played.[106] Moreover, Active Anime's Christopher Seaman compared the main casting with the original Japanese as the dub was noted to have "the essence of the Japanese counterparts nicely in speech and tone", remarking Monica Rial's work as Sakura.[109]

For the second half of the manga, writers praised how more darker the cast becomes while retaining their parts of their original characterization.[118] The fights from the cast were well received, most notably the ones involving the two Syaorans.[119][120][121][122] Holly Ellingwood enjoyed the deep connection Syaoran developed with the lead from xxxHolic, Kimihiro Watanuki.[119][123] Following the ending of Tsubasa, Manga News enjoyed Syaoran's cameo in the 18th volume of xxxHolic as his personal relationship with Watanuki is explored for the first time.[124] In regards to the character's role in Tsubasa World Chronicle, Manga News said that the originals Syaoran and Sakura did not manage to reach a proper happy ending and thus the sequel was necessary to provide the cast a necessary ending by Clamp. Manga News also felt that readers would need to read xxxHolic Rei to understand furthermore the relationship Syaoran and Watanuki have as the latter spends time in his manga collecting items to aid him in his journey.[125]
