Not Holic (yet), the Holic universe. In my opinion, there's something very wrong with an universe where two of the same person come to exist at the same time by natural means. Unless you subscribe to "Shaoran isn't a Shaoran".
Actually, I just noticed there's a causal loop there. Though I might be able to think up of something to cancel it out. I was re-watching the 2nd episode of the OVA, and I noticed Fei Wang said, concerning the clone, that everything was going as planned until Yuuko interfered. But now we know that back then she and Shaoran had already moved not once but twice.
I don't think it's a causal loop; in chapter 120, where that part of the OVA was taken, it's implied that Yuuko's interference in FWR's plan happened after he cloned "Syaoran." Also, since she can't do that unless there's a wish to be granted someone (maybe Fujitaka?) requested her to do the father-switch when the Clow Country timeline was rewinded.
Well the translations for 189 do say that the TRC!R!Syaoran we know isn't really a 'Shaoran' after all, that was just the name he gave to Yuuko at his father's, CCS!Shaoran's, behest.
Though if you factor in the genes, and the fact that he was cloned to create C!Syaoran it doesn't really matter much does it?
I didn't read 189 but I did read the spoilers, and that bit of the conversation was there. There are a couple of things that should be considered, one being the use of 真名 (Yuuko used a different word when she commented on Watanuki's giving his real name to a stranger), another being the fact that despite our speculations, nowhere in canon it says that the name determines the soul, and finally the fact that Shaoran introduced himself as "Li Shaoran", which I doubt could have been his legal name anyway (I'm not very knowledgeable in Japanese naming customs, but there's probably something to prevent parent-child homonyms).
Fujitaka is the King of Clow. WHAT?! XDDD Oh my GOD what the hell is going on?! Wasn't Clow Reed himself supposed to be king? Where the hell is he? XDDD
I know! I actually made weird sounds for a few seconds before managing a "WTF". I don't think Clow-ou is Clow Reed, but still, what the hell was Fujitaka doing pretending to be a travelling archaeologist after the rewind?
With all this mess going on in the multiverse, I wouldn't be surprised if Watanuki really did turn out to be Clow. My mother is convinced he will.
Wow...that they speak Japanese in Clow-koku... That's definitely important, but I'm afraid to form any theories...
I assume it has to do with the space-time collapse...Clow-koku seems incredibly close to xxxholic/CCS-world--same parents and siblings--and CCS!Syaoran and CCS!Sakura sent their son to Clow-koku with his father's name...and apparently destined to be with that world's version of his mom? O_o
It still doesn't sit well with me that he seems to be a "stand-in" for his father...he only uses his father's abilities, uses his name...looks exactly like him...it's like he isn't himself, but his father... :/
R!Syaoran had a tender look on his face when he said Watanuki was someone important to him after seeing him in a dream. He must like Watanuki a lot. Well who doesn't...
Funny thing though that R!Syaoran hasn't declared anything for any 'Sakura' yet. Well, maybe not until later. Damn CLAMP isn't making this any easier.
Hmm... I have another theory. When R!Sakura was cloned her body was destroyed an only the soul remained right? What if Watanuki really IS Sakura but has Clow Reed's body?
C!Sakura tells Watanuki that he is similar to "Syaoran" in his heart...so I don't think it's like that, but who knows with CLAMP? ^_^;
It all has to do with space-time crumbling apart I'm sure--the relationship between Watanuki and "Syaoran".
Now that I think of it, how could Clow-ou be Watanuki? Maybe I'm buying too much into looks... :/ Unless I can find a strong connection between Watanuki and "Syaoran" and/or Clow-ou and "Syaoran", I'm doubting my own crack theory.
We have a break next week, so no chance of learning anything about Clow-ou or Watanuki for at least 2 weeks... :( of course holic isn't until the 2nd... *sigh*
C!Sakura tells Watanuki that he is similar to "Syaoran" in his heart...so I don't think it's like that, but who knows with CLAMP? ^_^; I have a crack theory for this one: Watanuki is carrying the part of Sakura's heart that was lost in the rewind. From the meeting until (presumably) a little before the rewind, Sakura and Shaoran spent a lot of time together, which could mean they have practically the same memories of that period, except for POV differences. Very similar memories ---> similar hearts. Also, it'd be an element of "impossibility" for Watanuki (we still haven't seen the solution to that), since it's something that came from an erased timeline.
Sakura's mother... Well since Clow is her father it could be Kaho. Or Nadeshiko. Or Yuuko...
Looks like we might get some answers in this chapter though. And I feel like we might see Watanuki in TRC soon.

I like your theories, so tell us what's on your mind already! XD
"Syaoran" IS a "Syaoran"?
