Back.

@Wriggle

Welcome back! :P

Guys, question:

I always tied, in my interpretation, Sakuya's time manipulation to her pocket watch.
Is there anything that says where her powers are derived?

Reason I ask...
If the pocket watch theory was true...
...would anyone in possession of her pocket watch have access to those powers?

@Cucoo

Well there have been cases where she doesn't seem to even use the pocket watch. Not only that, but what about her powers over space? If she has space, then what's to say that she doesn't naturally have time as well? I think that it plays a part in her powers, but it's not exactly where her powers are derived. Perhaps it's some kind of booster. More research would need to be done.

Let me guess, you're planning on WRAITH stealing the pocketwatch, or possibly Eleos stealing it?

Now ye know me too well.
I was thinking The tactician of WRAITH (back a page here or 2) would have a duplicate.

And ya, I remembered that aspect... But she always has her pocket watch (I assume she always has it.) I just didn't see much of it in the wiki from what I can remember atm.
And there's the fact she's human...

Edit:
Aye that's what I recalled, but I can't remember, did it explain how a human got those powers?

@Cucoo

True, she always seems to keep it around, but I think it's for personal use, maybe to help her keep track of how long she's been insider her own time bubble.

Ok, I think I found out how her abilities work. She has the ability to control space, but that ability also somehow affects time as well. She bends space to the point that it warps time itself, meaning that it's not the watch that allows her to bend time, it's her power over space. She bends space to create some kind of time bubble, allowing her to travel through space in single instants. That would mean that her ability over time is just a side ability, and that her actual ability is actually her ability to manipulate space.

"According to ZUN, "Manipulation of Time" is synonymous to "Manipulation of Space." She takes advantage of this fact in several ways, from enlarging the space inside Scarlet Devil Mansion, to probably storing an immense amount of knives around. Maybe it's general relativity?" -Wiki

@Cucoo

Ah. I thought you didn't see my edit, so I decided to split my post. :p

Anyways, it does not explain how she got her powers, only that she has them. If she got her powers from another source instead of being born with it, then perhaps Remilia fated her to gain those powers. :confused:

I think I might be mixing together alot of things in my head.
But it's curious that a human could obtain those powers.

I guess it's like AC and Eagle vision.

She probably was just born with the ability and perhaps the watch accesses the potential?
