Line 119:
* [[Fantasy Counterpart Culture]] - Hanshin is Osaka. Korio is Korea. Oto is Japan in the 20's. LeCourt is a magical London. Piffle and Edonis are generically futuristic. Storm is Mayan. Daroga is modern America. (The last two are anime-only.)
* [[Five-Man Band]] - The corresponding roles are: Syaoran [[The Hero]], Sakura [[The Chick]], Kurogane [[The Lancer]] /TheBigGuy, Fai [[The Smart Guy]], and Mokona [[Team Pet]]. Note, however, that these roles stick only through the first half of the series. The deconstruction and character development in the second half breaks down the easy categories.
* [[Flock of Wolves]]: {{spoiler|It transpires that the only one of the original four who ''isn't'' an infiltrator is [[Grumpy Bear|Kurogane]], who [[Character Development|initially]] appears as the most unambiguously [[Anti-Hero|"villainous"]] with his [[Red and Black and Evil All Over]] palette and [[Blood Knight]] tendencies. [[Stepford Smiler]] Fai has been knowingly collaborating with Fei Wong Reed from the start, and both [[Adventure Archaeologist|Syaoran]] and his [[Amnesiac Lover]] [[Everything's Better with Princesses|Princess]] [[Friend to All Living Things|Sakura]] are revealed to be [[Cloning Blues|clones]] created as [[Unwitting Pawns]] in the [[Big Bad]]'s [[Gambit Pileup|gambit]] (the less said about that, [[Mind Screw|the better]]).}}
* [[Fountain of Youth]] - {{spoiler|When C!Syaoran and C!Sakura seal themselves in the tube, they reverse age from adults back to being 14 years old and become identical to the originals right down to the clothes! Which makes for some interesting results on the reader's eyes when the tube is finally broken.}}
* [[Freak-Out]] - {{spoiler|c!Syaoran, after killing c!Sakura. Doubles as a [[Tear Jerker]] in retrospect, since this is probably how he regained his heart. Also, Fai after his curse activates and he kills Sakura.}}
