Chapter 47: Shredded Fantasy


Release date: August 2nd, 2003

Word count: 26.813


Thoughts: I'm so happy that we're hitting the climax of the true identity of Mikai in this chapter. I purposely kept myself away from Ch 47 fanart on dA to not spoil myself.

Coordinated outfits are the best outfits and the S&S pirate and gypsy costumes are some of my favourites. I love it whenever Final Boss Tomoyo gets her way!

There's a lot more bickering than usual between Syaoran and Eriol. Foreshadowing for the next chapter!

Oh, the second force was The Transform! Now that I think of it, I totally remember Googling "pink amorphous jelly" and using it for the Sakura Card.

I like how Kero-chan was muttering about how fitting it was for Tomoyo to conjure a dangerous dragon instead of a peaceful unicorn.  

While Sakura's Fantasy in Arc 4 was only populated with characters who passed away, there are versions of Miara and Keisuke here. I loved the comment about how Miho's father looked familiar.

Good news: Syaoran told Sakura the truth about no longer being the Chosen One, that he loved her and then he kissed her. Bad news: he made her forget everything.

Everyone's pyjamas in The Fantasy were so cute!! It would have made for adorable fanart. 

Syaoran and Sakura were not only provided with dinner, breakfast and a place to sleep, but their outfits were washed and mended as well. Does Miho's Fantasy include house elves?

Fantasy: “As long as you have the faintest gleam of hope in your heart, as long as you have dreams and fantasies and the desire for them to come true, you won’t be able to seal me. I guess Fantasy changed its mind in Arc 4, then. Or it agreed to be sealed like the Fates.

It's interesting to see how Fake!Mihai bonded with Miho to such a point that he wanted to break her free rather than remain loyal to the Dark Ones. Like The Mirror, some forces are more prone to independence.

The scene where Takashi gives Chiharu the handmade bracelet he made for her makes me melt every single time. I love that scene and I love the accompanying fanart that Dragurok made for me.

Though the Music Festival is nowhere near the scale of Star-Crossed, I like the way Wish-chan has it generate the same amount of excitement.

Syaoran participated in the Festival with his violin? I'm just as shocked as the rest of the gang. I was also shocked with his dedication and apology. Why didn't I remember any of that?!

Wow, not only did I forget the Eron vs Syaoran fight, but I also forgot how bloody it actually got.

Fanart spotlight: I've decided to go with Selenity's fanart of Tomoyo's lightning bolt revelation that she was in love with Eriol because along with this chapter belonging to Miho, it belonged to Tomoyo as well. To think that The Phantom was able to steal her voice by making her feel insecure is a true reflection of PTSD and mental health.
