The disaster befalling the world...
« on: April 01 2006, 06:59 am »
We all know that what the disaster befalling the world at the cardcaptor's failure heavily depends on what said person thinks would be the worst that could happen. In Sakura's case, it was that people would cease to love, but what would have happened if, say, Syaoran had been the one to decide the world's fate? Or why not Tomoyo? Maybe in both cases, the disaster would have been Sakura going POFF! :wink:

No, seriously. What do you think would have been the worst scenery imaginable for the characters of CCS? You can choose anyone, from Terada-sensei to Yue himself, and if you want to make it hard for yourself, list what you think would have happened if you lost to the Judge.
Life's but a walking shadow, a poor player
That struts and frets his hour upon the stage
And then is heard no more: it is a tale
Told by an idiot, full of sound and fury,
Signifying nothing.

Syaoran: End Of The World/Armageddon/Disaster/Hate XP
- It sounds like something he would think about. I mean, he isn't one to think about love ceasing to exist or anything sappy. Maybe not that far, but by the look in the manga that he gave when explaining it to Sakura, it was probably something GRAVE. *shrugs*

Tomoyo: Sakura forgets about her, etc.  ^_^;

Eriol: I really don't want to find out...probably taking away everyone he cares about....? The world turns cold? (foils his plans of World Domination and becoming a dictator....?)

Others: Really have no idea...for Yukito is probably taking away food or Touya.

Me: Seeing people suffer, especially my family or loved ones.
Syaoran + Hotness + Kawaiiness = MINE!
Do the math.

I always thought the disaster was the same for everyone and that everyone would lose their memories?  Because the whole point of having everyone lose their memories was so the Clow Cards weren't hurt?  Kero even says that the disaster isn't something psychical, so if the disaster was something different, how would Kero know what it was already?  I'm lost here.
When her leathery, crow-footed face turned towards my raised hand and said, “Yes, the boy in the Sailor Mercury t-shirt,” I sprung into action. It took me a brief 20 seconds to acquire the bokken (wooden sword) I had secured to the underside of our chairs with duct tape the night previous. Shouting “Japan BANZAIII!” in the manner of those noble kamikaze pilots from the War of United States Aggression (so tactlessly referred to in your history books as “World War II”), I charged the stage, bringing down the bokken forcefully onto the plywood table in front of Tiffany Grant. It was a tragic mistake not to channel my ki correctly. The bokken splintered into a thousand pieces, leaving me with no other plan of attack besides shouting, “You’re no Asuka!” as two Ohayocon toughs escorted me out of the room-SomethingAwful.com

The Clow Card love the one who sealed them off the most, thus, the didn't excactly lose their memories; the forgot about the one the loved so that they wouldn't get hurt (in Cardcaptors, however, they just had everyone forget about anything related to the Cards instead of their loved ones).
However, Kero states in the manga that the disaster depends on the cardcaptor personality. The anime doesn't point this out too clearly, but I remember that there was at the end of one episode (I'll check which one later) where Sakura asked Kero about the disaster and he told her that it wouldn't be something like the end of the world. But then, when a relieved Sakura left, we heard him think "but depending on who you are, it could be far worse than the end of the world...". Ehh, hope you followed me there.

When Kero says that the disaster is different depending on your personality, I don't think he means that the disaster itself is going to be different but it's going to affect you differently depending on who you are.  If somebody with a cold personality who doesn't love anyone loses the Final Judgement, it's obiviously not going to affect them any at all because they don't love anyone due to their personality, so they can't exactly lose the memories of someone they love if they don't love anyone.  Other people might not care if they lose their memories even if they love someone depending on their personality and if the Clow Cards by chance didn't affect anyone that the Cardcaptor knew personally, then only they would lose their memory because nobody else was involved.  The disaster itself isn't going to be different because of your personality, but how bad the disaster is going to affect you will change depending on who you are.
