How Tsubasa might end
Eurekâ! I think I understand something about Tsubasa’s plot. Maybe others fans have though about it before too, but I just figured it out by careful reading of the last volumes of Tsubasa. I might be wrong, but I believe it would be a great explanation too. Hope you’ll have fun with this huge hypothetic spoiler ^^
As we know by now, in the first time frame, real Shaoran wished to turn back time by 7 years. He wishes to go back to the moment when he hesitated to grab 7 year old Sakura’s hand when she was swallowed by Fei Wong’s black magic. If he could change that moment, it would prevent 14 years old Sakura from dying from Fei Wong’s seal of death. As his time is rewound, Kimihiro Watanuki, a dimensional rift, is created in order to fill the void left by Shaoran since he is taken in hostage by Fei Wong.
Sometime in the story, Shaoran enters Clow country’s ruins where the 7 years old Sakura, giving out her hand in distress to Shaoran, is still frozen in time. When Yuuko’s time begins to move in time once again, she is swallowed by the same black mass as young frozen-in-time Sakura.
Here is where my theory comes in: Clow did not accepted Yuuko’s death and therefore wound back time, which was well in his powers, to find a way to prevent her death. As time is rewound, Fei Wong Reed, a dimensional rift, is created in order to fill some void (which I don’t know) left by himself. Somehow Clow dies. Fei Wong, tortured by the idea of being a mere distortion or clone, wants to prove that he can exceed the original i.e. Clow. (chap 227) He therefore desire to revive Yuuko from death, the only thing Clow did not succeed in doing with his magic powers.
In summary, if the above theory is true, real Shaoran is to Kimihiro what is Clow Reed to Fei Wong Reed. Although the symmetry is not perfect in the sense that it is not Watanuki (Fei Wong) that tries to resurrect Sakura (Yuuko) but Shaoran (Clow).
If this theory is true, it also means that not only both Sakura and both Shaoran are stuck inside a circle without end (i.e. Shaoran is the son of his clone), but the story with Clow / Fei Wong / Yuuko repeats itself with Shaoran / Watanuki / Sakura.
Hints from what I deduced this theory:
- “The witch will be resurrected. That is the reason for my existence.” (chap 230)
- “Shaoran you are the same as I.” (chap 230) In other words, we both want to revive someone dead.
