Tsubasa:
Volume 4 — Between Death And Danger
“The
popular anime series Tsubasa
returns for a fourth instalment and
Destiny’s
hand is not the only force
guiding Syaoran and his friends as
they
hunt through time and space for
Sakura’s lost feathers — chasing
dreams without end in a future without
a guide...”
WITH PLOTS THAT KEEP YOU GUESSING and a background of fabulous cities, Tsubasa
is an enchanting tale of adventure and adversity — a search for feathers
which are a key to Sakura's lost memory. Youngsters will delight in the
handsome, gentle characters and beautiful landscapes — a backdrop to the
stories that are interwoven with mysteries.
Princess Sakura's memory was scattered over worlds and dimensions and she has
forgotten the special relationship she once had with Syaoran. Occasionally she
recalls a fragment of her life with him, but it is gone as quickly as it came.
Syaoran, Sakura and their friends go from world to world, dealing with problems
at every turn — kidnapped children, shadowy figures of unknown intent,
haunting legends and competing in feats of magical strength. At times they are
stuck in a place of dire contradictions and even greater consequence, but they
steadfastly refuse to be swayed from their course.
In a magical kingdom of The Land of Storm — a land apparently governed
by a magical faith that worships ancient spirits — the friends meet the
men of the land who are born with an ability called Zola's Thunder that allows
them to emit lightning from their hands.
And in the beautiful land of Õto, with its trademark cherry blossoms (called
Sakura!), the friends believe they have found a safe and peaceful world. But
at night the monster Onis appear — sinister, red-eyed evil demons who pose
a risk to the inhabitants of Õto and look remarkably like the Morlocks from
the film The Time Machine. And the Onis are beginning to appear more
and more during the day — some with a much more pleasing appearance to
take you unawares...
Help is at hand for the friends on their quest: the spirit of the golden-haired
Princess Emeraude who watches over them and the little Mokina who is their faithful
companion. They meet new friends like Shalme, who has been cursed by an ancient
spirit and needs help to break the curse, and the Oni hunters who try to keep
Õto safe.
Syaoran and Kurogane must face the dangers and remember the mantra of Toya's
father, the king: "Look toward the future and have faith." But they are not
the only ones who seek Sakura's feathers — and they are being watched as
they travel from place to place.
