Tsubasa: Reservoir Chronicle/Fridge

• This is not just Fridge Horror, CLAMP's upgraded to Ascended Fridge Horror = Squick.
  • Fridge Squick - Everyone's related in this Tangled Family Tree.
  • Tsubasa Li now has the memory of sending himself to another dimension to fall in love with his moms original self because his wife had a dream
  • And Tsubasa Sakura has all the memories of C!Sakura which means she has all the memories of what it is to be Syaoran's mom. But never mind she was seeing everything through her clone's eyes the whole time, even while Frozen in Time.
    • Wait a minute, then that would mean that Tsubasa!Sakura and Tsubasa!Syaoran would remember Tsubasa!Syaoran's, ahem, conception. That is, that one special night between his parents, when a mommy and a daddy love each other very much... yeah, awkward to the max.
  • Now the clones and the originals have become one. Which means... There are quite a lot of reasons why R!Syaoran wants them back alive.
  • All along, the originals have been seeing (and experiencing and therefore re-living) each other through the clones' eyes.
• When I first read through Tsubasa Reservoir Chronicle, I figured the second promise Kurogane talks about in Chapter 134 is just to stay with the gang and help find Cloney, blah blah blah. It was only much later that I realized that's not it at all; the new promise is really to take responsibility for Fay's life and stay by his side to give him the blood he needs to survive. (Notice he only confirms that he would stay with the group after Fay says he will.) After Kurogane says this, Sakura and Mokona give him almost questioning looks, but Fay looks down sadly — he understands exactly what Kurogane is talking about.
  • In the early days of the manga, I kept wondering why Kyle Rodart looked so much like Watanuki. Much later, I realized that it's intentional, Kyle is a clone of Syaoran, just like Watanuki.

• Well, after reading up to Ch. 224, this troper realized that Assuming that the clones of Sakura and Syaoran have the exact same DNA as the originals... 1. C!Syaoran + C!Sakura = Original Syaoran (50% Sakura's DNA, 50% his own DNA) 2. If the original Syaoran and the original Sakura had a kid....he/she'd be 75% Sakura's DNA and 25% Syaoran's DNA... 3. This also means that the original Sakura and Syaoran are related...because Syaoran has 50% of Sakura's (clone) DNA and 4. Because the clone of Syaoran is 100% Syaoran's DNA, then that means that the clone of Syaoran is has 50% from Sakura, and 50% from the original (Because this is the make-up of the original's DNA)
  • Well, since its a loop, there's actually an infinite regression going on here, with each generation changing. Tsubasa Li's DNA is an infinitely small % Syaoran and an infinitely large % Sakura, since there is a literally infinite chain of /2 Syaoran going on in his ancestry and genome as the genetic loop runs over and over, since each change in his genome to be +x% sakura means the clone is retconned to also have that genome, passing that Sakura DNA to Tsubasa Li instead of Syaoran DNA. The 50/50 thing applied the first time, the second loop Tsubasa Li was 25% himself and so on. Since it was infinite, he has an infinitely small amount of his own DNA. The Mind Screw page is over there.
  • Oh we've had enough Mind Screw already. It's much simpler to consider that Clamp failed biology forever. See My Own Grampa.
• In RG Veda it was established that a Third Eye represents "sins even a demon wouldn't commit", so i was really confused when the Ashura statue in the country of Shara had one. But just now i remembered that the Ashura in Shura wished for Yasha to come back from the dead. Perhaps in the original timeline of that world (before Syaoran and co. mucked it up), Ashura did something that messed with the natural order of things, hence the extra eye.
• The reason FWR found Fai and Yuui was because real!Fai wished for death in the tower and that FWR fufilled his wish while at the same timemaking it seem like they really had a choice in the matter when he asked them who should be the one to die so the other could live.
• In Fai's backstory, it says that the elder prince looked forward to their birth. It also says that the twins' mother and father died, but nothing about their brother. Assuming a direct hereditary line of descent, that means that the ruler who imprisoned Yuui and Fai was their own older brother.
