I'm glad you and everyone in Tokyo are doing alright, but I hope the people in western Japan are ok.
Thanks for your message! Tsunami warnings, fires, major damage to roads and buildings...but no deaths reported. I think many people will have a very cold night, and I hope there won't be big aftershocks. English updates here.

THE HANSHIN TIGERS HAVE BROKEN THE CURSE OF THE COLONEL!
For the people who don't know, in 1985, the Hanshin Tigers won their first (and at the time, only) Japan Series victory. Traditionally, they've been hard luck losers, and they're often compared to the Red Sox in the sense of their being overshadowed by the Yomiuri Giants, who, like the Yankees, have won more championships than any other team in their league.
When they won, fans resembling the players on the team were jumping into the Dotonbori Canal in Osaka - the fans would yell out a player's name, and a fan who looked like them would jump in. The problem was when they got to Randy Bass, who none of the Japanese fans looked like. They needed to find something resembling him and selected a statue of Colonel Sanders, who was white and had a beard like Bass, and threw it into the canal.
Colonel Sanders sank underwater, and the Hanshin Tigers did...horribly after that, usually coming in last in the league or close to it, to the point where the team was considered cursed by his presence in the canal. The team made the Japan Series a few times after that in the 2000s and once in the 2010s, but lost each time.
In 2009, the Colonel was located and recovered from the Dotonbori Canal, save for his left hand and his glasses. He's now at a location near Koshien Stadium, where the Tigers play their home games (and where the famed national high school baseball championships are played), and can be viewed there to this day.
Fans were, however, not convinced that they had earned the Colonel's forgiveness, since his hand and glasses were missing. In the image above, he's been given some replacement glasses, but he still lacks a left hand.
This year, Hanshin beat the Orix Buffaloes, a team that plays roughly 20 minutes away by train in Nishinomiya, 4-3 in a seven-game series. The curse is thus considered broken...so the fans did what they do best, and threw a fan dressed like Colonel Sanders into the Dotonbori Canal.
For years, this has been my favorite baseball story, and I'm so happy that I was alive to see it seen all the way through. Congratulations, Hanshin fans!

Chapitre 207 - The Evolved Manifestation (Or, from the fantranslation: Evolved Incarnation)
Splash text: Time moves slower than usual, until the new dawn comes
In which we have: cute!
Last time they were in Koryo, and this this time we’re in Hanshin! I would recognise that two-toned hoodie anywhere.
And I LOVE what that means. How, right here at the end, we’re getting a little parade of cute moments between Sakura and Syaoran throughout all the different arcs we’ve survived to get to this point. It’s a bouquet of moments where we can see their bond growing across the series, and a tour for the reader through all the storylines you can briefly think back on and remember before Tsubasa finally concludes.
But also! A small gathering of the various memories of the different worlds Sakura has been in, since that was what Evil Wolverine wanted from her all along.
But also also! A sadder tinge to this sweet memory knowing that these two people don’t exist the same way anymore - Syaoran’s soul is unconfirmed, and Sakura is kind of dead twice over. Perhaps this is a memory that is entirely lost to time, but maybe it’s not! We just don’t know yet.
And until we do know more, we can think back on Syaoran smiling as he checks on Sakura as she sleeps through the entirety of the Hanshin Republic.
#AND NEVER GETTING A KUDAN#You could get a lot of mileage out of the fact that there are bars outside the window#Because it IS how the hanshin windows were yes absolutely#But also the metaphor of how This looks to us now#A nice memory caged and locked away#A relationship imprisoned and never allowed to flourish#their fates trapped in a way they that doesn’t allow them freedom#But at least they enjoyed the moments while they could#Liveblogging the reservoir chronicle#Vol 207#Tsubasa#Syaoran#Sakura#The obstacle course my feelings go through#Knowing that Syaoran MIGHT still remember this moment#As he stands across from the Tsubasa Family and fights them on Evil Wolverine’s behalf
