In xxxHolic, Watanuki is stated as being Tsubasa (Syaoran) Li's alternate
existence. What does that mean? How does that work?

Who is Kimihiro Watanuki?


According to [this page](http://tsubasa.wikia.com/wiki/Kimihiro_Watanuki)

> He [Watanuki] was born when Syaoran made his wish of rewinding time, in
> order to fill his void left to his parents.1 Thus he became Syaoran and
> Sakura's son, but they made a wish for him to be different to "Syaoran Li"
> otherwise he would cease to exist.

And according to [this page](http://tsubasa.wikia.com/wiki/Syaoran_Li), it was
confirmed by a fortune teller in xxxHolic.2

* * *

[This page](http://tsubasa.wikia.com/wiki/Tsubasa_Li) states that

> Watanuki is created to 'replace' Syaoran as the son of Sakura and Syaoran
> Li.

* * *

And it also states that he

> was "born" to replace the void in the relationships Syaoran had made.

* * *

Also, [this other page](http://xxxholic.wikia.com/wiki/Kimihiro_Watanuki) says
that

> Watanuki was in fact created out of a space time distortion to replace
> Tsubasa Syaoran as the son of the reincarnated clones

* * *

And, lastly, [this other
page](http://xxxholic.wikia.com/wiki/Syaoran_%28Tsubasa%3a_Reservoir_Chronicle%29)
states

> The connection between Syaoran and Watanuki is finally revealed in the
> Clow's future arc. Syaoran explains to the party what happened when he met
> Sakura (the real Princess of Clow). After he had made a wish to turn back
> time in order to grab Sakura's hand and save her from dying, Watanuki was
> born to take his place in his world. Fei Wong explains to him that "he's not
> a brother, he is you". And since he was a being not originally meant to be,
> he continues to tell him that his existence would cause only pain to those
> around him.

I believe this answers your question, but I am not sure, since I do not see
either shows or mangas.
