You know that bombastic chapter you probably expected 200 to be? Well, here it is.

So how do you pay for a time rewind anyway? )

Well, if it's really seriously established that CCS|SxS are indeed both dead, I think this will be just how far my interest in TRC will have gone.
I will certainly read it till the end, of course, after all I've been following it since 2004, but no fangirling or excitedly awaiting it: it will be just another manga title I read, that's all, not a fav or anything special, since the one only thing I refused to accept, since the very start, was for CCS|SxS to be harmed in the process. Which seems to have happened in the end.

Anyway, no matter how many decisions Syaoran took, CCS|SxS suffered for every single one of them...to think they would finally die of it is just too painful a thought :(
The one last ultimate chance for SxS to be ok would be that Watanuki's real parents 'killed' and replaced by SxS? Or did Watanuki just appear from thin air as a 7 years old child already? In that case, it would be different, and then it would explain Yuuko's words in the first volume of XXXHolic, where she said "Your family is a bit peculiar. You don ( ... )

You may be right about this and I rather hope you are. At least CLAMP is finally filling in the blanks... I guess.

Since Watanuki was essentially created to replace Shao Jr. he should appear to SxS. It could be that they might have given him away and those surrogate parents died instead of SxS. Or everything is a big fat lie. It already but still...

Watanuki lived in an apartment after his parents died and the manager took care of him. Building is similar to the apartment in Chobits so Chitose should be the one taking care of him.

I think that Watanuki's existence is so that the TRC gang can continue to pursue FWR. Like it said, Shaoran Jr. can't really pay it himself so Watanuki has to through his own existence. If Watanuki dies its game over.

The only thing i can comment on in your questions (because i emidiatly started running through to fill in gaps) was that time didn't necesarily rewind everywhere...from whatever point in time Shaoran stopped existing in his real world Watanuki was plugged in...which means instead of him going to Yuuko's shop as a kid because of what was told to him Watanuki eventually did...in fact watanuki apparently could have done that same thing twice because he did wish at one point to forget everything to help Shaoran. I think that at some point in time Watanuki learned what happened and that is where that wish came about.

Now the other reference to Watanuki just being plugged in to what would have been Shaoran's spot was when he fell out of the window he woke up to Yuuko standing by her bed looking at him in the exact same way that Shaoran did when he got returned after the 7 days.

If we follow this logic, then we saw several people traveling through dimensions, starting with Fye and Kurogane: they've both 'stopped existing' in their respective worlds but there was no such a need as a replacement for them ( ... )

I did thought about the scenario that maybe Watanuki's "real" parents died in an accident and in which, through the wish of "Syaoran", Watanuki instead of being an orphan, he entered in the pictures and taking the place of Syaoran and becomes CCS|SxS's son. That could be another possibility but I guess that would be Yuuko "finding" a replacement for CCS|SxS's son, so that she can grant "Syaoran" wish to rewind time. And which lead to the whole "past 1" and "past 2" thingy... he gave up his memories about "past 2" and thus only remember the death of his "real parents". Though there's one slight flaw when he couldn't remember his parents' name [not even his "real" one ( ... )

I think that CCS Sakura and Syaoran aren't dead, but that this is all a result of Watanuki's payment. He will have grown up with Sakura and Syaoran, until the time when it came to pay the price, and make the wish, from Yuuko. Now, here, two possible things may have happened ( ... )

To continue from the couple, we are not sure it is an actual couple he lives with...he lives in the apartments Chitose runs...and we know that Holic and Kobato are in the same universe as is Legal Drug and CCS. There are panels where we see this. Holic has the Green Drugstore, which we later see in the background of Kobato and Touya is working there. Thus i think he just lives in the same building as Chitose and Kobato and Chitose would keep and eye on him from time to time. I really dont' remember him mentioning a couple took care of him. Everyone in the building would have different last names, that's where that line would come from if they are all tenants ( ... )

Does it mean that by 'Time rewinding', it's actually Time rewinding in all the existing worlds, not only CLow Country? The Time was rewind in all the 'Universe'? Or does that simply confirm that there is some kind of special connection between Clow and the CCS worlds?This is exactly what I was thinking. I would have to assume that time was either reset across the whole universe or just in the CCS/Yuuko and Clow Country worlds, hence then the need for Watanuki at all ( ... )

Well...truth is I'm having a hard time believing the rewinding of the Time would affect every single existing worlds...actually I do not think the CCS/Holic world time was rewind at all.

But on the other side, 'Syaoran' has been missing for years already, and nothing happened in his home world during this time, but when he decided to rewind Time then his existence in his Home World was violently affected and led to Watanuki's birth...why? He is missing anyway, why should the fact Time is rewound in another dimension have such terrible consequence on another world?

Aahh~
I'm tired already. I think I will just sit back and watch from afar while Clamp expose the whole thing.
