Line 21:
** ''What, exactly, is happening''? I ''think'' I have an idea, but any time I try to summarize in my mind I start getting these headaches.
*** Relatedly, how is {{spoiler|the feather thing}} related to whatever it was Fei Wong Reed was doing in {{spoiler|the original timeline}}? He seemed to be doing fine without {{spoiler|having her build up "physical memories"}} ''before'' {{spoiler|"Syaoran"}} borked {{spoiler|the time-space continuum.}}
*** Let's see if I can do this: {{spoiler|Fei Wong Reed wants to bring someone [[Back from the Dead]], so this is probably a case of [[Love Makes You Evil]]. Of course, resurrection is a big no-no in the CLAMP multiverse, so he needs Sakura's power (and possibly [[Our Souls Are Different|souls]] from the [[Cardcaptor Sakura]] and [[
*** What confuses me most and is not in your summary is that {{spoiler|In "Syaoran"'s flashback, to the point in the initial timeline that is presumably the same point as the "creation of Clone Sakura" point in the new modified timeline, Fei Wong Reed is quite clearly doing something very different to Sakura. No feathers are involved, no clones, just draining her or something. So, what's changed? How? Why? Why exactly did he ''need'' a Clone Sakura all of a sudden, if the original worked fine in the original timeline and he didn't seem to make any modifications to the clone? And what, exactly, was the purpose of the feathers? If everyone in the group was planned to be his puppet, why bother the pretense of them doing it for themselves- why not just make them all loyal to him outright?}}
Line 39:
*** The way things are going, I really doubt we'll be anything but more confused. [[The Reveal|The Big Reveal]] is just making a bigger mess of things.
** The way I see it {{spoiler|Asschin was afraid that Yuuko was *going* to die, rather then actually being dead, so he screwed up time and space to save her.}}
** Actually, if you read [[
* So, why are mom and pop physically the same age as their son, exactly, aside from the impossibility of visualizing mom as anything but a loli?
** Read 217. Kinomoto Sakura as an adult has womanly charms.
Line 48:
** Parents!Sakura & Syaoran are ''the'' Sakura and Syaoran from CCS. The evidence is that CCS!Sakura gave Yuuko the wand from CCS as part of her "price".
*** Which was revealed in Chapter 217 to have been given to Mama!Sakura from CCS!Sakura in a dream. So, it's either face-value, CCS!Sakura helping out a fellow Sakura in her time of need, or some symbolic dream CCS!Sakura had. Either way, Yuuko having CCS!Sakura's wand isn't conclusive.
*** They are '''not''' the CCS Syaoran and Sakura. CCS Syaoran and Sakura are Syaorans and Sakuras of a different world, and Clow Reed, after doing all the necessary things for Tsubasa and [[
* The sudden [[Darker and Edgier]] [[Cerebus Syndrome]]. What. The. Fuck. Man?!
** It was always darker and edgier; we just didn't know it. The darkness creeped in slowly, inexorably. The very beginning in Clow country set up for the link to Acid Tokyo and Fei Wong's insidious machinations to, er, save Yuko's life; Yuko's relevance to the story was hinted at by her regular appearances; the darkness began showing up with the Rekort arc and that thing in the jungle with the bunny-people, and hints as to the true nature of Cloney began VERY early on with the shots of Syaoran Jr in his stasis tube. On the xxxHoLic side, we had a shot of Mom!Sakura and Syaoran Sr.'s tube early on as well (and Watanuki's existence issues were hinted at LONG before things turned really dark). It was never sudden, simply lurking just beneath the surface.
