So this guy is basically Clow Reed, right?
>>143612992
Pretty much
yeah
He supposedly resembles Clow when he was younger, I kind of fell off the boat with xxxholic at some point so I don't know whether we're meant to take it at face value or not.
>>143612992
No...

There's no getting off CLAMP's wild ride now. Watanuki is created to fill the void Syaoran left, then he grows up to be Clow and interferes with Syaoran's fate causing him to be born in the first place. Everything is a time loop. You are a time loop. Your cat is a time loop.Search your feelings you know it to be true.

Clow/Watanuki is a Syaoran, Yuuko is a Sakura. Their fate of being separated and eternally exchanging control of the shop in a closed time loop, enjoying only a brief time together between endless stretches of waiting, fulfills the multiverse's need for a "tragic" version of the Syaoran/Sakura pair.
>>143613963
That doesn't make any sense
>>143617520
Lies, this is all super comprehensible.
>>143617664
No, that's really complicated and confusing.
However, with one simple change, everything immediately would be completely simple, logical, and comprehensible.
>>143617998
I hope that doesn't happen, it would be confusing as fuck. Clow is supposed to be half-chinese half-European.
>>143618429
who even gives a shit about that minor backstory element from before all of this became fleshed out. watanuki being clow makes the most sense and should be retconned in.
>>143618429
Easy to solve. Syaoran already is Chinese. Just make Sakura ethnic European. Then their son Clow is half each.

in short
there's no fucking rhyme or reason to CLAMP, they just draw pretty boys and try to make things fit
like a jigsaw puzzle if the pieces were made out of jello
