Design
Themes
Because xxxHolic partly serves to unite Clamp's works together, some recurring themes from their previous works are prominently featured.
Watanuki's growth and change caused by his experiences from meeting one person is a recurring theme. According to a fortune teller in volume 2, Yūko is the one that will change Watanuki. However, it is implied that he will be linked to both Yūko and Dōmeki and that all their connections were foreseen.
One such theme is the concept of hitsuzen (必然?), first introduced by Yūko. Hitsuzen has no direct translation into English (which is why Del Rey has opted to keep the Japanese term whenever it appears in Tsubasa or xxxHolic), but can be interpreted as referring to "inevitability", destiny, or fate. Destiny refers to a predetermined course of events It may be conceived as a predetermined future whether in general or of an individual
Interpreting hitsuzen as "fate" is not inaccurate, but in the context of the story, "fate" is implied as something that is immutable and definite, giving the idea that whoever is bound by fate is nothing more than its puppet. Instead, hitsuzen is the idea that an action is inevitable because without it, other related events in the future could not happen. Therefore all decisions and actions are related, and there can be no coincidence, only hitsuzen.
Hitsuzen has been mentioned in Cardcaptor Sakura by Kaho Mizuki as she remarks that "there are no coincidences, only hitsuzen". also known as Card Captor Sakura (with the space and often abbreviated as CCS, is a Magical girl Manga series from the well-known is a Fictional character in Clamp's Anime and Manga series Cardcaptor Sakura. [3] Other English translations of the remark have rendered hitsuzen as "inevitability". It could also be interpreted as a form of determinism or a more pro-active form of the Butterfly Effect concept. Determinism is the philosophical Proposition that every event including human cognition and behaviour decision and action is causally determined The butterfly effect is a phrase that encapsulates the more technical notion of sensitive dependence on initial conditions in Chaos theory. More probably it might be an amalgam of those concepts.
Another theme present in xxxHolic and other Clamp works can be observed in the first volume of the series. When Watanuki introduces himself to Yūko, he gives her his real name as a common courtesy. Because his name is also an obvious reference to the date of his birth (April 1, shared by Cardcaptor Sakura's Sakura Kinomoto, the incarnations of herself and Syaoran in Tsubasa: Reservoir Chronicle), he has given her two key bits of information that will inevitably give someone the power to discover everything about him (based on his birthday) and control his destiny (from his name). Events 527 - Byzantine Emperor Justin I names his nephew Justinian I as co-ruler and successor to the throne also known as Card Captor Sakura (with the space and often abbreviated as CCS, is a Magical girl Manga series from the well-known This is the page about the main character of Cardcaptor Sakura is an ongoing Manga series by Clamp. It is currently being serialized in Shōnen Magazine.
This theme has previously appeared in Tokyo Babylon, where Subaru Sumeragi made a similar mistake revealing his true birthdate to Seishirō Sakurazuka. is a Manga series created by Clamp, a creative team made up by Satsuki Igarashi, Ageha Ohkawa, Tsubaki Nekoi, and Mokona is a Fictional character created by Clamp.

This is the page about the main character of Cardcaptor Sakura also known as Card Captor Sakura (with the space and often abbreviated as CCS, is a Magical girl Manga series from the well-known In the 12th and 13th chapter, characters from Tsubasa: Reservoir Chronicle, one of Clamp's other series, make their first appearance in the story. is an ongoing Manga series by Clamp.
