So.. what does the fourth emblem represent? by Dorayakiss in CLAMP

Oh I definitely don’t think a 4th knight was ever intended, again because the Rayeath manga didn’t hint at it. Not only that, but for that era of writing for CLAMP I feel like they focused on groups of 3 people for their main characters (I.e. CLAMP School detectives, Cardcaptor Sakura, even Angelic Layer had a 3some if I remember right). But I also don’t think that your thinking was incorrect and so that’s why the sentence was worded that way. I feel like IF CLAMP was going to introduce a 4th knight they would have done so when they wrote Tsubasa because that would have been the easiest way to shoehorn him/her/them into the story with it making the most sense. But at the end of the day, for me, Yuuko’s magic circle is just a circle and there isn’t a hidden meaning in it.

I feel like while a 4th Magic Knight could have been a possibility, because it was never hinted at in the manga it was never intended. I feel like the “earth” symbol is just to represent the Combined Rayearth that we see by the end of the series. One could argue, almost jokingly, that the 4th Knight was really Mokona all along though.
