If I recall it correctly, Akiho's dad was also dead, I think I read that in the flashback scene about Akiho's past? Not sure though... I particularly think that making the skid clan forget about Kaito and Akiho didn't affect anything, it changed their memories but no event was really changed. I have that theory about the rewritten world as well, the book didn't actually erase any event but rather changed everyone's memories and nothing else really
The way I’m interpreting it is that because the squid clan doesn’t remember or know of Kaito and the history has been changed, he never gets the D seal out on him, so they don’t have to figure out a way to remove it because it will never have been placed to begin with.
If Sakura is only making the society of magicians forget Kaito and Akiho, not changing history so that the society will never have met them, won't that mean that the seal will still have been placed on Kaito? He implies that the seal is not self-enforcing, so erasing the memories of the magicians who placed it will effectively nullify it.
@@porphyrios24 I mean... If you place a curse on someone an suddenly forget about that someone, there's no way of activating/maintaining a magic that you don't remember existing
@@ninalove_9 The only reason to assume that is the case is because Kaito says so, which means he could have rewritten reality so that the magical society didn't remember him or Akiho in the first place, which would have removed any need for him to have Sakura create the Exchange card to swap all the spells inside Akiho for his watch. But then why would the magical society bother placing such a seal on Kaito if they knew the power of the book and that Kaito could use it to make them forget, thereby negating their power over himself and Akiho?
@@porphyrios24 It's hard to say how aware the squid clan was aware of Momo's book and its true power, this book was probably something Akiho inherited from her mom and she probably didn't know its power. Even if they knew about its existence, they probably thought it was yet another book that Akiho was reading
@@ninalove_9 Correct me if I'm wrong, but Eriol said that Kaito's theft of the book is the reason he was expelled from the society, and that they were afraid he would use it. We know from a flashback of Momo's that she met Akiho's mother, and that the tiara Momo wears in her diminutive form is in fact a ring which Akiho's mother took from her own finger and placed there. But the circumstances of that meeting and the significance of the ring have yet to be explained. We also know from a conversation between Kerochan and Spinel Sun that Clow Reed once possessed the book, that as far as Kerochan knew Clow was not able to use its power, and that the book appears and disappears when it wants, presumably under the direction of Momo. So it only belongs to whomever Momo allows to possess it. And even if the society was unsuccessful in summoning Momo it seems she allowed them to possess it before she allowed Kaito to "steal" it, probably because she shared his fondness for Akiho and her mother. But it makes little sense for the society to place a prohibition on the book under threat of expulsion if they thought it was just another book.

9:29 "That's a bad message, by the way. Facts are facts" damn straight, original introduction of the "choice" card bugged me too :)
