CARDCAPTOR SAKURA

I want to see you, but I can't see you, all I have is this lonely feeling

I can't tell you, but I want to tell you, I just keep missing my chance

But still, but still! I want to spread my wings with you

Run across the skies with you, share our dreams in unison

Now I catch you, catch you, catch me, catch me, wait now!

Look my way and tell me you love me

Yeah, nice to meet you, good to see you, for sure!

Let all the feelings I have for you fly, fly, fly into your heart!

I am so in love!

Who...?

Who's calling out to me...?

Sakura and the Strange Magical Book

It was just my alarm clock...

Sakura! Breakfast is ready!

Coming!

I'm Sakura Kinomoto!

I'm a fourth grader at Tomoeda Elementary.

My favorite classes are P.E. and music.

My least favorite class is math!

If I had to name one thing I'm really good at, it's being cheerful!

And then there's my family...

Morning!

Why were you stomping around your room just now?

I was not stomping around!

Well, you sure were making a lot of noise, whatever it was.

I was just walking around like a normal person!

Really? When you walk around, I'd say it's more like a stampeding monster.

I am not a monster!

This old meanie is my big brother, Toya.

He's a junior in high school.

He goes to Seijo High School, which is right next to my school.

And he always makes fun of me!

Just cuz he's a little bigger than me...

It's so annoying!

Someday I'll grow taller than a... a telephone pole! And then...!

I'll smoosh him flat!

Nice to see you two getting along this morning.

This is my dad, Fujitaka.

He's an archaeology professor.

He's really nice, and he's super good at cooking and sewing!

I love him!

Here you go.

Ooh, looks tasty!

Thank you, Dad!

So this is my family.

Huh? What about my mom?

She passed away when I was three years old.

But still, I'm not lonely.

I have my dad.

And even though he's super mean, I have my brother.

Do you like it?

Yeah!

Thanks for breakfast.

Huh? You're leaving already?

I've got soccer practice this morning.

Have a good day.

- See ya later. - W-Wait for me!

Thanks for breakfast!

Are you full already?

Well, here's your lunch.

Where's Toya?

He already went on ahead.

- Do you have practice today? - Yeah! See ya later!

Have a good day!

How'd he get so far ahead?

Ah, found him!

H-Hey, wait up!

You didn't really have to leave so early, did you?

Maybe, but—!

But...every morning, my brother rides to school with...him!

Yuki!

Hey!

Yo.

Morning, Toya.

Good morning, Sakura. You're out early today.

Yup!

Well she did wolf down her breakfast in like five minutes...

Energetic as always, huh Sakura?

That's Yukito Tsukishiro.

He's a junior too, in the same class as my brother.

He's such a kind, wonderful person, I just can't believe...

...he's friends with my barbaric brother.

Bye, Sakura.

I'm at school already...

See ya later!

Yukito...!

Smooth move.

T-Tomoyo!

Throwing you a little present just as he leaves? Very smooth.

G-Good morning, Tomoyo...

Good morning to you, Sakura!

That's Tomoyo Daidoji.

She's my best friend.

She's really smart, and really pretty. Her mom is the president of a big company.

You were so cute back there, Sakura.

The way you gripped that candy, with a dreamy look on your face.

Um, Tomoyo—

I wish I could have recorded that moment on film!

Are you even listening...?

Tomoyo's really into photography and film.

She seems to really like recording me specifically, but...

Oh, I forgot to tell you! I bought a new camcorder!

Mind if I take some more footage of you?

I-I guess not, but...

Maybe you should film something a little more interesting than...me.

There isn't anything more interesting than you! Or more adorable!

I'll make sure to bring it in tomorrow, okay?

I hate to say it, but Tomoyo is a little...different.

And then the boy's face appeared, his mouth hanging wide open.

He must have been very surprised.

Did he perhaps think it was a magical tangerine?

Was that supposed to be me or something...?

That drawing's so cute! What is it?

- Well, see... - Now, Miss Kinomoto...

- Yes? - Could you please read the next passage?

I'll tell you later.

Start from line twelve...

Did he perhaps think it was a magical tangerine?

But in fact, it was just a butterfly in disguise.

Awesome!

You're so amazing, Sakura!

So cool!

Thank you, Miss Kinomoto.

Next, let's practice our tossing.

Everyone, please take out your batons!

Okay!

I can't stop thinking about that dream...

I think I'll tell Tomoyo about it later.

Sakura's so athletic, and she can do all kinds of neat stuff with her baton...

Yeah.

But then, every once in a while, she does stuff like that...

Yeah...

I'm home!

"I'll be home around 9 o'clock..."

Dad's gonna be late, huh...?

Is someone there?

Why'd this have to happen while Dad and Toya are both gone...?

It's coming from Dad's library...

What if it's a burglar? What should I do...?

I'll just take a little peek...

If I see anyone, I'll call the police!

There's nobody here...

It's that book...

A card?

Win—huh?

Umm...

Win...

Win...dy?

What just happened?

Hidey-howdy-ho!

Wow, I'm just flabbergasted you were able to wake me up!

Flabbergasted...?

Oh, well, I've just been asleep for so long,

I guess maybe my vocabulary's a little out of date, huh...?

- Where's your batteries? Your switch!? - What're ya doin'!?

Where's your voice coming from!?

I'm not a toy!

I'm Kerberos, the Beast of the Seal and guardian of this book!

Seal? Kerberos?

Yup!

It's my duty to look after the cards in this here book so they don't get loose and—

The cards have all run off!

Why? What happened!? Where'd they all gooo!?

What about this?

Huh? Yeah, like that! Just like that! One down!

So? Where's the rest?

Well, I read the word, "Windy"...

Uh-huh...

And then there was this sudden gust of wind...

Uh-huh, uh-huh...!

And then they all just...flew away!

Ya don't say!

WHAAAAT!?

Thanks for dinner!

Where ya going with that?

I'm gonna eat it in my room while I'm studying!

Any luck?

Nothin' doin'...

I don't have the first clue where they all took off to.

- Here - Ooh, delish!

This book used to contain all the Clow Cards.

Clow Cards?

Clow Cards...

With the seal broken, this world is on the verge of catastrophe...

Those were special cards created by an amazing magician named Clow Reed.

Each card has a life of its own, and possesses incredible powers.

But they're all very willful and independent,

and no normal force can stand up to them.

And so, Clow created this book single-handedly,

and placed me, the Beast of the Seal, on the front cover.

The bottom line is, I have to get those cards back.

And you're gonna help me do it!

Huh? Why me!?

Because you're the one who used the wind spell to fling 'em into the sky.

B-But wasn't it your job to make sure they stayed sealed away in the first place?

Well...it just so happens I fell asleep...

For how long?

Let's say...30 years?

Aren't you supposed to be the Beast of the Seal...?

Yeah well stuff happens, okay!?

So the noise I heard was you snoring...?

Anyway! The fact that you were able to open this book

means you have at least some amount of magical ability!

So, what's your name?

Sakura.

Okay, Sakura. Go stand over there.

Key of the Seal...

There is one who wishes to form a contract with you.

It's a girl, known as Sakura...!

O great key, grant her power!

RELEASE!

Sakura, grab the staff!

Nice! Witness the birth...of the Cardcaptor!

Whaaaaat!?

There is absolutely, positively no way I can do this!

Ahh, so fluffy!

There's no way I can be a Cardcaptor!

Cardcaptor. The one charged with capturing the Clow Cards.

Doesn't that sound cool?

I'm just a normal grade schooler!

I know you said something about a catastrophe, but still...!

Who was it that used this to scatter the cards to the wind again?

And who was it that was taking a nap instead of doing his job!?

That wind's really strong...!

Sakura!

What is that!?

A Clow Card!

That's probably the Fly card.

Now's no time to be impressed! Get going!

Go where?

To take on your first job as Cardcaptor Sakura!

Whaaaaaat!?

Why'd I have to come in my pajamas!?

What kind of thing is that for the world's only Cardcaptor to say!?

How am I supposed to catch something that huge!?

Are you being serious right now!?

Sakura! Your magic!

The key! Use it just like I showed you earlier!

O great key which conceals the power of darkness!

Reveal your true power before me!

I, Sakura, command you to honor our contract!

RELEASE!

Okay, Sakura...

The Fly card is connected to the wind attribute.

You should be able to capture it using your Windy card!

Are you sure...?

But first, we'll have to get closer...

What do I do? It's coming back around!

Sakura, the Windy card!

- O-Okay! - Aw crud, here it comes again!

Hurry up and use the Windy card!

But look at it!

I can't...!

It's your job as Cardcaptor to figure out how to deal with this stuff!

How to deal with it...

I might have one idea!

Well what is it!?

Sakura!

Sakura!

Wind, turn to binding chains...

Windy!

Reclaim the guise you were meant to inhabit!

Clow Card!

Way to go, Sakura!

I thought I was gonna die!

Just what I expected from my personal Cardcaptor recruit!

I told you! I still haven't agreed to all this Cardcaptor stuff!

You'll never become a well-rounded adult without experiencing all life has to offer!

Anyway, now that you captured this particular card, why don't you try it out?

Why? What can it do?

Just try it and find out!

Fly!

Well? Feels good, doesn't it?

Yeah!

I look forward to many more adventures, Cardcaptor Sakura!

Me too!

Huh? Hey...wait, no! I still haven't agreed to do anything!

Let's head into town together It's no fun when you're by yourself

You get stuck in a loop of sadness Ah, and now you worry even more!

Let's just jump outside, there's nothing to worry about! For such a long time...

The Earth has been going on and on And I'm sure our luck will, too!

Brand-new love song, halle-hallelujah!

Everyone, let's go nuts and fall in love!

A simple, everyday life Common, ordinary feelings

You'll always have something you want to protect!

Leave It To Kero!

Hidey-howdy-ho!

This is "Leave It To Kero!" and I'm your host, Kerberos!

This segment is for all our hardcore Sakura fans,

where we'll explain all the different stuff that pops up in the show!

So! Today we're going to discuss the Tomoeda Elementary School uniform!

There are two different versions— the short-sleeve and the long-sleeve.

Today's subject is the long-sleeve!

This chic design sports a dark blue, creating a regal, elegant feeling.

Note the school emblem lovingly stitched into the left sleeve.

With that adorable hat, the good just gets better!

And now for the Kero Spot Check!

Today's key point is the skirt!

Those white pleats suit Sakura just perfectly, don't they?

Oh, this is the boys uniform, by the way.

That's it for today! I hope it was as educational for you as it was for me!

I'll be making more bold forays into the world of Cardcaptor Sakura,

so I hope you're all prepared!

Ta-ta for now!

Next Episode

Somehow I was able to seal away the Fly card...

But there's no way I can keep doing this Cardcaptor job!

If my friends ever found out, it would create one giant mess!

And Tomoyo wants to show me some kind of video...

But what the heck could it be?

Cardcaptor Sakura: "Sakura's Wonderful Friend"

Join me again next time, okay? Release!
