As time went on, all of Valeria's citizens were killed by the mad king, and Fei-Wang gave one of the twins the chance to leave, which ended in Fai's death. The other twin, Yūi, would be later rescued by Ashura-ō taking Fai's name before receiving two curses by Fei-Wang. | ||||

| The flashback reveals that Fei-Wang told Fai that if he wanted to revive his twin, he would have to go on a journey to recover Sakura's memories, and kill Kurogane as both would oppose. Following such revelation, Kurogane and Fai turn against each other, while Syaoran collapses due to a curse that Fei-Wang placed so that no other magician besides Fai and Ashura-ō would move. Across the flashback it is revealed that Ashura-ō also grew mad and killed each of Seresu's citizens, having taken care of Fai so that he would kill him due to Fei-Wang's first curse. Ashura-ō tries to kill Fai's friends, forcing him to turn against him. In the fight's outcome, Kurogane kills Ashura-ō before Fai could do it activating Fei-Wang's second curse starts sealing Seresu from all other worlds. Fai and Mokona try to transport all of them to another world, but due to Fai's magic not being strong enough to send himself, Kurogane amputates his left arm to exchange it for Fai's place. | ||||

| The group awakes in Japan, Kurogane's and Tomoyo's world, as Tomoyo and Fai had previously paid Yūko to go a safe world after Seresu to take care of the group's wounds. Fai also gives his right eye's magic to Yūko in exchange for an artificial arm for Kurogane as delivered by Fūma, while Seishirō appears to learn about the location from the vampire twins, Kamui and Subaru. The original Syaoran challenges Seishirō to a battle to take his feather, and is able to do it in order to create an entrance to the Dream World. There, he finds Sakura's soul and Yūko's assistant, Kimihiro Watanuki, before the arrival of the Syaoran clone. When Watanuki disappears from the world, the Syaoran clone tries to take the original's feather, and both start fighting. | ||||

| The two Syaorans continue fighting, damaging the Dream World's entrance with their attacks. As both appear outside the Dream World, and try to finish each other, Sakura's soul receives the clone's blow. While her soul disintegrates, Sakura reveals that she is a clone from the original Sakura, the person the original Syaoran has been searching for. As Sakura's soul is destroyed, Kyle appears and takes her body to Fei-Wang who plans to use the power it stored with the feathers. The original Syaoran, Fai and Kurogane try to ask Yūko about Fei-Wang's location, but she states that Watanuki already paid for that information. Yūko tells them that Fei-Wang is located in the "cut-off" time from the Kingdom of Clow, and so the original Syaoran, Fai, Kurogane and Mokona prepare to leave Japan. | ||||

| Yūko creates the way to let Mokona transport the group to Fei-Wang's location in the Kingdom of Clow. There, the four find people repeatedly living the same day, making Syaoran realize it is his fault for having made a wish. Syaoran takes the others to the ruins' reservoir in which time is frozen. He then tells Fai, Kurogane and Mokona how this occurred, starting with his first visit to Yūko's shop when he was younger. Syaoran visited Yūko as his mother had foreseen a future involving him in another dimension alongside a person who was waiting for him. Yūko then sent Syaoran to the Kingdom of Clow for a week, where he met the original Sakura who was in a ritual. Both of them began to bond, as Sakura's parents allowed Syaoran to stay with them as Sakura's mother, Nadeshiko, had also foreseen his arrival. | ||||

| As the week was reaching its end, Fei-Wang appeared in Clow and placed a curse in Sakura that would consume her life. Syaoran tried to stop him, but was seriously wounded and sent back to Yūko's shop due to the time limit he had. Syaoran once again requested Yūko to send to Clow to search for a way to save Sakura although this time he would have no means to go back. As years went on, neither Syaoran or Sakura's parents were able to stop the curse, while Sakura did not know she had it. As the curse was about activate, Nadeshiko tried to freeze the time, while Syaoran was told by Fei-Wang he could turn it back to before the curse was placed. | ||||

| Yūko conceded Syaoran's wish of turning back the time but at the cost of his freedom to Fei-Wang who took him prisoner to create his clone. Watanuki was used to replace Syaoran in his original world, while Syaoran waited until the time he would be freed to search for Sakura. As a result of his wish, Syaoran states that he changed the history of many people, including Kurogane and Fai, but they stay with him, saying he should assume blame for that. The group finds the original Sakura frozen in time about to be attacked by the curse, and are confronted by the Syaoran clone and Fei-Wang's other artificial beings. As all start fighting, the Syaoran clone overwhelms his original self as well as Fai and Kurogane. He then takes the original's body to Fei-Wang only to allow him to ambush him. Fei-Wang tries to kill the original Syaoran, but his clone receives the attack, causing his body to be destroyed as he apologizes to all his friends. | ||||

| Kurogane and Fai battle Fei-Wang, allowing Syaoran to go rescue the original Sakura. When Syaoran rescues the original Sakura from Fei-Wang's curse, her soul merges with her clone's body, giving Fei-Wang the power to achieve his goal: he uses such power to revive Yūko who was frozen in time before her death by the Clow Reed, a powerful sorcerer who the original Syaoran descends from, and thus prove himself superior to him. With her new life, Yūko transports a glass to the Kingdom of Clow, which brings two other people identical to Syaoran and Sakura. The two start reversing the damage Fei-Wang caused to the worlds when he used the powers from the two Sakuras. As Fei-Wang wonders how they are able to use Clow Reed's magic, Yūko shows them how she reconstructed the two clones before as they could not die due to their nature. | ||||

| In order to compensate the clones for the way they were used by Fei-Wang, Yūko makes them reborn in another world using her life and the magic that Clow Reed left as payments. Years after reuniting, both clones have a son, who is revealed to be the original Syaoran. In order to save their friends from Fei-Wang, the clones seal themselves in the glass in Yūko's shop. Following their unsealing, Fei-Wang realizes that Yūko is dead, and tries to use the originals Syaoran and Sakura to revive her, but is killed in the attempt. Before dying, Fei-Wang traps the original Syaoran in a void, dragging his clone and Watanuki. With their creator's death, both clones fade away leaving behind two feathers, while Syaoran and Watanuki escape from the void for a price: Syaoran must continue traveling through the dimensions forever, while Watanuki must forever stay in Yūko's shop. The group rests in the Kingdom of Clow where Fai, Kurogane, and Mokona decide to join Syaoran once again in hope of finding a way to bring back the clones with the two feathers. Before departing on their separate ways, Syaoran and Sakura confess their love for each other hoping to meet again. | ||||
