* AngstySurvivingTwin: [[spoiler:Fei Wong tampered with Yuui's memory to make him think that Yuui had chosen to save himself at the cost of his twin brother Fay's life, allowing Fei Wong to use his guilt in order to turn him into his servant under the promise that he could bring his brother back to life.]]

* DealWithTheDevil: Her entire schtick. She grants wishes and demands a heavy price in return, however she doesn't cheat her customers if they act in good faith.

As Fei Wong dies, Watanuki is trapped into a void alongside the two Syaorans due to Fei Wong's curse. Following C!Syaoran's death, Watanuki and Syaoran divide a payment to escape from the void.

* MagicKnight / MasterOfNone: He has both the magical abilities of the Li family and the fighting skills of his clone, but he doesn't seem to exceed either Fai or Kurogane in their respective specialties.
** In the Kurogane's case, he's never seen using sword arts, nor does he display any level of monstrous strength.
** In the Fai's case, he doesn't seem to be capable of dimensional travel (albeit, a one-time variant) like Fai, otherwise he could have traveled to and from Clow Country on his own. Additionally, as the fight with his clone shows, Fai's magic overpowers his own in a battle between power.

Also keep in mind that he was 7 years old when he made this decision.

* TheStateless: With his home country gone, he has no place to officially call home. Syaoran lacks a nationality, as well. Thankfully, they both have loved ones in welcoming countries, and perhaps someday they will become citizens of one of them.
