Kamui is one jealous mo-fo
So I've been going back over the Tsubasa translations/scans for the latest chapters (I'm only concerned about X world since I *tried* to understand the Syaoran thing and NO). I think I almost understand some things but am not 100 percent.
If you are not up-to-date with Tsubasa AND remotely care about spoilers, yell at me and I might cut this. Otherwise, I figure everyone who cares already knows this stuff.
1. Original speculation says the Fuuma hints that Subaru and Kamui are not twins. That's not the interpretation I'm getting from reading the translations on what he says in the chapter. It seems more like when he first encountered Kamui in Tokyo, he was confused that the other twin wasn't there. This points toward Subaru since he adds that he's happy they're reunited now. Sad because it kills my hopes for a Hokuto. Someone tell me I'm wrong.
2. Two, original speculation said Seishirou was getting old. Translation says exactly opposite. In fact, when taking into consideration Kamui's over-protectiveness of Subaru's blood, his blatant jealousy and irritation whenever Seishirou's name is brought up and his distate for "bait," I'm thinking the reason Subaru asked about Seishirou is because he wanted to know how his (Subaru's) blood was affecting him. So I'm going to connect 1 and 2 and say that Subaru fed Seishirou. I doubt this means that Seishirou is a complete vampire but I'm also thinking it might be paralleled with what's going on with Kurogane and Fai. But since I haven't read Seishirou's chapters in Tsubasa in a long time, I'm not super clear on this. I know Syaoran said something about Seishirou mentioning bait too, but I think that's a separate issue.
3. Kamui is sooo jealous. I find that funny. I love his little twitches of disgust when he sees Subaru ask about Seishirou. I also think that he's leading this little run-along between him and Subaru because Subaru seems conflicted. I think Subaru wants to see Seishirou. I'm seeing inklings of the same one-sided obsession once displayed between Kamui and Subaru in X. We'll see if that holds true. I do believe if the main group does leave X world soon, the Seishirou issue will have to be resolved later in the story.
4. Kamui is a sad panda and part of me wonders how he functioned before he met Subaru. Because although the manga refers to them as twins, I'm not entirely sure it means brothers. I think it just has to do with them both being allowed to travel worlds together with Yuuko's help. I have nothing to base this on, it just makes sense to me. That and I doubt Kamui would have ever let Subaru out of his sight long enough for Subaru to meet Seishirou were they truly related. I think Subaru would have had to met Seishirou beforehand, met and bonded/sobstoried with Kamui and then they picked up the travel spell. Whereas, I do see Seishirou and Fuuma as actual brothers.
These are all crack theories based on thoroughly scanning chapters 109 through 132 so if you have better Tsubasa-based knowledge, do set me straight.
