== [[Cardcaptor SakuraTomoyo (Manga)|Cardcaptoris an [[Author SakuraAvatar]] ==
== Tomoyo is an [[Author Avatar]] == Aside from acting like an older woman and not being one of Sakura's [[Those Two Guys]], Tomoyo happens to have unlimited resources, tapes and designs Sakura's costumes, and manages to always tag along despite the complete inappropriateness of an unpowered [[Muggles|muggle]] doing so. She fawns over how adorable Sakura is, yet cheers her on as pursues Li. These are all things a writer metaphorically does. Thus, [[Shipping]] Tomoyo with anyone is authorically incestuous.
* Another example of hidden avatars is in [[The Movie]], where Li happens to have four much older and surprisingly gushy sisters. This seems unusual, given that the Li family's serious reputation is suggested as the reason for Syaoran's initial coldness, until you realize they probably represent [[CLAMP (Creator)|CLAMP]].
** Tomoyo might be as well a supreme magical identity so powerful that can hide her own magic, which would explain it better. Remember Kaho's catchphrase.
*** *Cough* Ichihara Yuuko *cough*
Line 25:
Again, resulting in their children being in the Li Family and having the Cards. This is why they're giving him financial backing; an exchange student pass; etc. Syaoran is a good guy and he doesn't want to creep Sakura out with this (hence all he tells her was that "arrangements were made"); and he will treat her well.
 
== Sakura is an ancient ancestor of Milfeulle and Apricot from [[Galaxy Angel (Animeanime)|Galaxy Angel]]. ==
* Well, she and Rico do [[Identical Grandson|look a lot alike]]...
** Which may explain why she resembles nothing like her mother or father.
Line 42:
**** Besides, no one says she ''has'' to do to her successor what Clow did to her. It's ''Sakura''; she could conceivably find another way to pass the cards on. Remember, Sakura was the first person to whom the cards had ever been passed on; it's not like there were ten other Cardcaptors before her to set a precedent. And remember, Kero '''fell asleep'''. If he hadn't been asleep and had stopped Sakura from opening the book and had taught her about the cards ''first''... things could have been a lot different.
***** Remember also that by the end of the series, Sakura is stated to have become more powerful than Clow Reed himself, and given that she was only ten at the time, her powers could have increased even further. It's possible that she's found a way (or will eventually) to sustain the cards beyond her death, ''without'' needing a successor to her power. Hell, this could have even been a part of Clow's original gambit.
****** Supported by the fact that in [[XXX Holic×××HOLiC]] we find out that Sakura paid her Star Staff to Ichihara Yuuko (the reason has major spoilers for both Holic and [[Tsubasa Reservoir Chronicle]]). It doesn't mention what happened to the Cards or Kero and Yue (we ''may'' find out once Holic and TRC finally finish up, but this is Clamp), but presumably Sakura wouldn't have let anything bad happen to them. So she may have found a way to support them without the staff.
****** Most likely, the staff is a conduit rather than the source of her powers. While it may have made it easier for her to use them, she was probably able to give it up knowing that she'd still have her magic.
****** Yes, but the staff is also the ''key'' to the Clow book. So unless she wanted the Cards running amok after her death, she'd have to change ''something'' in Clow's original formula.
****** CLAMP mentioned in an interview in one of the Artbooks that Sakura no longer needed her staff to summon the cards after the original manga series' end (whether this applies to Tsubasa canon, I have no clue). Clow never needed a staff to summon the cards, he simply created one to help Sakura with her growing powers. All the cards can become dormant within the book, storing power from the original owner (as they did with Clow) until they are ready to be used again. Clow always knew Sakura was going to become the mistress of the Cards and knew she would release the cards in that fashon in order to form a bond with them, as mentioned in the end of the manga. When talking about [[Cardcaptor Sakura (Manga)|Cardcaptor Sakura]] and Tsubasa together, I suggest going off the MANGA canon, not the anime, as they missed a whole ton of key points in the anime.
****** Not to mention that when Sakura Kinomoto lends the staff to Princess Sakura in Tsubasa Chronicle, she says "It's alright, I still have the cards with me" (or something to that effect) implying that she could still activate them without the use of her wand.
 
Line 73:
* Though Keroberos may be a complete [[Blind Idiot Translation|mess up]] of [[wikipedia:Cherub|Cherub]] -> Xerub -> Kerub which are winged lion, men, bull, and [[Department of Redundancy Department|eagles]].
 
== The [[Magical Girl Lyrical Nanoha|Book of Darkness]] is a [[Mirror Universe]] analog to the Book of Clow ==
Both are deeply powerful magical artifacts that capture portions of a mage's power to be used at the call of a master. The Book of Darkness just got twisted.
* The Book of Clow is used to store and contain the Clow Cards, which were created by the same person. Its not used to capture portions of a mage's power at all. The Book of the Darkness was designed to collect spells from various sources in order to study them. They're nothing alike.
Line 93:
 
== Eriol created the design of Ruby Moon and Spinel Sun as homage to Yuuko ==
* The logic on this one is pretty simple. Eriol is {{spoiler|the reincarnation of Clow Reed that contains all the memories of the original}}. Clow Reed was very involved with Yuuko and {{spoiler|wished her to open her eyes when she died, causing her continued existence and a lot of the problems in the [[XXX Holic|xXxHolic×××HOLiC]] story}}, so he probably was at the very least a friend and must have known that the butterfly was her symbol. So when Eriol went to make Ruby Moon and Spinnel Sun as alternates to Yue and Keroberos he gave them butterfly wings and a darker color scheme as homage to her. It also explains why, despite being a technically [[No Biological Sex|sexless]] spirit, Ruby Moon [[Wholesome Crossdresser|dresses]] and [[Genki Girl|acts]] the way 'she' does.
 
== Eriol and Sakura's Father merge again as the Emperor of Man ==
 
== Sakura is actually the shojo analogue to [[Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagann|Simon]]. ==
Think about it. Sakura and Simon both "inherited" their powers/abilities from someone else (Sakura got her magic from Clow Reed; Simon got his [[Hot-Blooded]] nature and much of his [[Heroic Spirit]] from Kamina). Both of them are trained by their predecessors in the use of said powers/abilities (Clow trained Sakura by proxy of Kero and Yue; Kamina fought alongside Simon as [[Bash Brothers]]). Each is a [[Badass Adorable]] (Admittedly, Simon only really counts as adorable pre-timeskip). Furthermore, each one has pretty much limitless power/potential (Simon's Spiral Power is ''infinite'' by [[Word of God]]; Sakura is even more powerful than [[Big Good|Clow Reed]] by the end of the series ''[[Child Mage|as a ten year old]]'', there's NO WAY she won't grow stronger). Finally, each gets kind of screwed over in terms of interpersonal relationships - Simon: his first crush falls in love with his bro Kamina, who promptly dies in the next battle, one of his closest friends performs a [[Heroic Sacrifice]] near the end of the series, and his wife disintegrates immediately after exchanging their vows, ''and'' it's implied [[Who Wants to Live Forever?|that he'll carry that pain until the end of time]]. Sakura: Well.... For the sake of brevity, just go and look at [[Cardcaptor Sakura (Manga)/Tear Jerker|Cardcaptor Sakura]].
 
Afterthought: Each has [[Beware the Nice Ones]] as their M.O.
