Anyone read 142 yet?

Hi!

This is actually my first post (so hello again!) but I did want to ask a question.

Yukito does exist and, more importantly, he has a soul. Otherwise there wouldn't be alternate versions of him in other dimensions--alternate versions of his soul.

As for Watanuki, I have come up with a wild, and seemingly random, idea as to who he truly is:

I think Watanuki is Sakura's memories of Syaoran. Weird, I know, but I do have my reasons

[ennui_demorte]

Fai shows up at the shop with a feather that he has had in his possession for at least a decade. When they go to Jade country, the feather had been there for over 300 years. Time moves vastly different in different dimensions.

As far as Watanuki being human, I never said that he wasn't, and both Sakura and Syaoran are human, each magical and powerful in their own right, but still human.

Watanuki's memories of his parents, on the other hand, I am saying that those are a spell and that, as Sakura weakens by being separated from her body, the spell is weakening also. After waking up from a dream with Sakura, Watanuki tells Doumeki that he just remembered something--that he doesn't know the names of his parents, not that he doesn't remember their names, that he doesn't know their names. Even a small child has an idea of what their parents names are, especially if they have the same family name as their parents and the age that Watanuki sees himself when he remembers his parents is definitely old enough to know his parents name

I Love debating too!

But Yuuko takes Sakura's memories from Shaoran in the same dimension where Watanuki exists.

True, true. But then my next thought was: when did Yuuko take payment? And because her shop is another dimension separate but a part of the one Watanuki lives in, Yuuko could have taken payment when the time corresponding to outside her shop was the time that Watanuki came to life (wow, reread this sentence and it is a mouthful, but I think it still makes sense--kindaThis has got me thinking about Yukito now--Yukito has a soul, because we have seen at least two other versions of him - the High Priest in Clow and the waiter with Touya in Hanshin. So, if Yukito is Yue's self when he isn't being all magic-card-guardian-ly, does that mean that Yukito is Yue's soul then? Or--just thought of this--did Clow simply use the High Priest from his own little made-up country (or so it seems sometimes) as a model for Yue's false form

ZOMFG.. I so totally can see Sakura or Clow giving "Watanuki Kimihiro" as Watanuki's name. April 1st IS a very important date for both Sakura and Syaoran after all! <3

You know... I think at this point I am just going to sit back and ponder. Honestly, I think that's a great theory... and, being that as it is CLAMP, I have no idea how possible it could be. If it's right though... Damn, does Sakura and Syaoran's spiritual son spazz out a lot. Aheh.

[ennui_demorte]

But think about when Watanuki stomps around while he's upset--it is so classic CCS!Sakura when she's upset with something Touya has said--she stomps around the exact same way! And CCS!Syaoran loses his temper pretty quickly too--Eriol and Touya both seemed to evoke it as often as they could. I think Watanuki got his 'stomping-around-when-angry-or-pouting' temperament from both of them.

While TRC!Sakura and TRC!Syaoran (both of them before the clone went ku-ku) are both even tempered and easy going--leaving the loosing of temper to Kurogane--their CCS versions prove that both have the potential to throw beautiful fits, given the right encouragement. (TRC!Sakura does get in a fight with Touya in the very beginning and it is like a scene straight out of CCS, except--instead of Touya sitting on a chair taunting Sakura--he's sitting on a throne taunting Sakura)But could you see Watanuki, after the whole thing is finished, in Clow, in the palace, at a party in honour of Sakura's return--everyone dignified, calm and happy about the safe

[lethal_paine]

That's so perfect. XD

Anyway, that makes me wonder if Watanuki looks anything like his grandpappy Clow then. Rather than Kyle. > >

[lunaaddictus]

This is possible. That's why probably, the real Syaoran said "Don't disappear." Maybe he meant that he didn't want Sakura's memories of him to disappear.

Not to mention that in Yuuko and Watanuki's world, we still haven't seen any of Sakura's feathers... *wonders if the "last battle will be on the *real world*
