[edit] 灯 The Glow
 |
 The Glow is one of the more harmless cards, as its only power is the ability to create hundreds of tiny glowing orbs that resemble fireflies. It is the card that caused the least trouble in Tomoeda before its capture. Sakura first encounters Glow during the summer festival at Tsukimine Shrine, where it was casting tiny glowing lights among the trees. Appearance When enacting its power, Glow casts off hundreds of tiny softly glowing green orbs that float down slowly to the ground like <a class=l href=http://webmaxsearch.com?qq=flower onmouseover="return (window.status='flower');" onmouseout="window.status=;">flower</a> petals. In its visible form, it resembles a tiny fairy. Captured
Transformation Glow is transformed into a Sakura card in episode 67 (episode 63 of the English dub). When one of Eriol's magical trials cuts off the electricity supply to the lanterns at the festival, Sakura transforms Glow and uses its power to save the festival. |
[edit] 希望 The Hope
 |
The Hope is the result of a merge between The Nothing and the nameless card. The Hope exists only as a Sakura Card. At the end of the second movie, when The Hope is sealed, all the damage dealt by The Nothing is instantly undone. Appearance Hope's card form shows this young girl with an expression of happiness on her face instead of sorrow from The Nothing. She is embracing the winged heart that was pictured on the nameless card. Captured
|
[edit] 幻 The Illusion
 |
The Illusion is an aggressive card (reasons for this behavior unknown) capable of creating an illusion based on whatever the viewer expects to see or wants to see. This means that each person will see something different when viewing the illusion unless they are all thinking of the same thing at the same time. Usually this illusion takes the form of whatever the person is most afraid of, though it has been known to take the form of whatever is most significant in a person's mind at the time. In the anime, Illusion uses an image of Sakura's mother to lure Sakura into walking over a ledge. In the Manga, it disguises itself as Sakura's mother and tries to drown Sakura by luring her into a lake and holding her down. In both instances Sakura is rescued by Yukito Tsukishiro when she first attempts to capture Illusion. Later, she is able to see through the illusion created by the card, at which point it reverts to its visible form, allowing Sakura to seal it. Appearance Illusion can change its form based on what the watcher expects to see, but while transitioning between forms, it resembles a kaleidoscope pattern. Captured
Transformation Illusion is transformed into a Sakura Card in episode 66. Used in conjunction with The Maze (Also freshly renewed), combined they created a surreal 'planetarium' effect inside a maze to for visitors to marvel at, and to contain the fact that Sakura is using her magic to try and decipher who is giving off Clow Reed's presence. |
[edit] 跳 The Jump
 |
The Jump is also one of Sakura's favorite cards along with The Windy and The Fly. While Fly is often used for long-distance <a class=l href=http://webmaxsearch.com?qq=travel onmouseover="return (window.status='travel');" onmouseout="window.status=;">travel</a>, Jump is used for evasion when battling a Clow Card entity. When summoned Jump appears as pair of wings on Sakura's ankles and allows her not only to jump great distances but also to land safely from falls that would otherwise kill her. In the anime Jump appears to have a number of other powers, including the ability to possess inanimate objects, allowing them to jump, as well as the ability to merge many smaller objects into a larger version of itself. Sakura never uses these addtional powers, though, and they are never demonstrated in the manga. When Sakura first encounters Jump in the anime, it has taken over the body of a stuffed panda, hiding in the Twin Bells store. Each time the panda is sold, Jump inside it would 'jump' it back to the store. Sakura initially traps Jump in a cage of branches using Wood, but Jump manages to escape. It is eventually sealed after it wears itself out and falls down. In the manga (volume 1), Jump has the distinction of being the very first card shown to be captured by Sakura and is used to introduce the spirits inside the Clow Cards. No backstory is given about what Jump was up to when it was caught, but it is sealed after being bound by a chain created by Windy. According to Cerberus, Jump is not very bright. When Sakura faces Yue in the Final Judgment, Yue uses Jump in order to summon her towards him. She, at the time, was under his powerful 'moonlight' hypnosis spell. Appearance In its visible form, Jump resembles a rather strange looking stuffed pink rabbit with long floppy ears. Captured
Transformation Jump is transformed in Episode 51. Sakura tried to jump up to the head of a giant teddy bear during one of Eriol's trials so she could cut off its ear with Sword (the ear was the source of the magic causing the bear to grow and be animated), but was unable to reach and is forced to use Fly instead. |
[edit] 秤 The Libra
 |
The Libra (ライブラ raibura) is able to determine whether a person is lying or not, though its use is never demonstrated in the anime.
Appearance Libra's card form shows a pan-scale, one side holding a sun and the other holding a moon. Libra's form is remniscent of the astrological sign of Libra. The idea of the scale is also used as a symbol of justice and truth. Captured
Transformation Libra is transformed during Sakura's panicked rush of transformations in episode 53. |
[edit] 光 The Light
 |
The Light is able to bring light to any area, also able to turn night into day. Light is the first card under Keroberos. Light and Dark are always together and the two most loyal cards, making them the most difficult for Sakura to transform into Sakura cards. Appearance Light's visible form is a regal woman draped in white with white flowing hair. Its Card form clutches a sun in one hand, and a cloud in the other. Captured
Transformation Light is transformed in Episode 69; Sakura transforms at the same time as Dark so as to end Eriol's spell. |
[edit] 小 The Little
 |
The Little is able to shrink things into miniature versions of itself by simply touching them; this also shrinks the victim's ability to use magic. Though small in size, Little is very nimble with is prodigious jumping skill. It is a mischievous card, who greatly enjoys laughing and taunting Sakura after it shrinks her to a height of a few inches. Sakura manages to return to normal size by coming into contact with Little again. Appearance Little's visible form resembles a tiny yellowish child. Little is almost an exact copy of its sister card, The Big, except for color and height. Captured
Transformation The Little is transformed in episode 55. After Sakura uses The Big, she becomes too big and then needs to correct it. Once again, she becomes too small and is put on a chessboard during a match between Humpty Dumpty (played by Tomoyo), and the Queen (humorously played by Kero). |
[edit] 錠 The Lock
 |
A weaker version of Shield, The Lock is able to lock almost anything (doors, padlocks, etc.), also preventing their unlocking by conventional means. Lock can seal off entire rooms by magically shielding any and all exits such that they cannot be penetrated or destroyed. Similar to an ability of Maze, magical senses are diffused when in an area sealed by Lock. In the anime, Lock inhabits a storage building (currently used as a kitchen and presentation room) at a strawberry plantation, where it traps Sakura and company until Sakura drives it out of the room's lock using her Clow Key. Lock immediately tries to reenter the keyhole of the lock, but Syaoran blocks the way with one of his wards. This reveals one of Lock's weaknesses, where it cannot simply merge with something in order to 'lock' it, but it instead must find a lock or catch from which to inhabit and activate its abilities. Though weaker than Shield in terms of defensive strength, Lock can actively defend itself by creating a psychokinetic storm to drive away threats. Appearance Lock's visible form is a small green and yellow padlock with a front mounted drum. It has wings on the front, straddling the chamber of the lock. Captured
Transformation Lock is transformed during Sakura's panicked rush of transformations in episode 53. |
[edit] 輪 The Loop
 |
The Loop is one of the strangest of the Clow Cards. Loop is capable of warping reality--bending the time-space continuum (so to speak) into a continuous, repeating loop. Anything or anyone unfortunate enough to be trapped inside it will be left stranded in an environment that repeats on itself, with no way of getting out. It is defeated by the combined efforts of both Sakura and Syaoran, who manage to cut the loop in half. Appearance Loop is a simple small band or loop, red on one side and yellow on the other. It is often pictured with one twist such that it resembles an infinity symbol (∞). Captured
Transformed When The Dash possesses Toya's bike, Sakura uses Loop to trap it in order to get close to Dash and calm it down in Episode 53. |
[edit] 迷 The Maze
 |
The Maze is able to create pocket dimensions inside the real world, which contain giant mazes. Unlike conventional mazes, which work in three dimensions, the puzzles created by Maze are twisted through four or more dimensions, allowing people to walk upside-down, up staircases that cannot really exist, and generally to become lost in a world that defies the laws of perspective. Maze also prevents any kind of "cheating" by raising walls to stop people from climbing over them and by repairing walls that have been damaged by people trying to break through. Maze also cannot be captured from the inside. In the anime, Maze is the first Clow Card that Sakura and Syaoran are unable to conquer on their own. They needed the powers of Kaho Mizuki and her Moon Bell, which was able to break through Maze's walls. As such, the card recognizes Kaho as its master and initially goes to her. Kaho, however, gives it to Sakura, who takes ownership by signing her name on the card. Appearance Maze is invisible from the outside, but from the inside it resembles a multi-dimensional maze with upside-down staircases and impossible perspectives similar to those drawn by M. C. Escher. Captured
Transformation Maze is transformed in Episode 66, when it was used in conjunction with Illusion to create a three-dimensional version of the planetarium exhibit at Toya's high school fair, in order to cover Sakura's tracks while she undertook one of Eriol's magical trials. |
[edit] 鏡 The Mirror
 |
The Mirror is able to copy people like a reflection in a mirror and (literally) become that person. Mirror appears to be troublesome and mischievous, but it really is a frightened and lost spirit. Mirror is the most human of the cards, as its ability to duplicate an identical copy of its (usually human) target also allows it to speak and express emotions. Before its capture, Mirror injures Toya but later is seen crying in guilt about it. Right before returning to card form, Mirror (in her normal visible form) apologizes to Toya. Mirror is one of Sakura's most helpful cards, as Sakura can essentially clone herself in order to be in two places at once. Usually this is done in situations where Sakura must distract Toya in order to capture or transform cards; unfortunately, Toya sees through the magic right away. However Toya keeps this a secret, instead interacting with Mirror as if it were an individual person. Through these interactions, Mirror develops a fondness for Toya, though never reaching a point of confessing her feelings (if they are that deep). Appearance Mirror's visible form resembles a beautiful green-haired girl, draped in a long flowing kimono holding a mirror in her hands. On some occasions, Mirror just appears as the mirror that she carries, useful for reflecting images and deflecting magical attacks. After episode 61, Mirror wears a green ribbon in her hair. It is both an early Christmas gift from Toya and a gift of thanks for protecting Sakura during times when he cannot. Captured
Transformation Mirror is transformed before Episode 61. At the beginning of the episode, Sakura returned to her room and thanked Mirror for covering for her. |
[edit] 霧 The Mist
 |
The Mist is a corrosive entity, able to eat through almost any material including metal bars. It can also create a blanket of fog for cover. It has been surmised that Mist represents decay.[citation needed] Mist is first seen in the anime during a play at Toya's high school, where the errant card dissolves much of the stage and scenery, before finally being contained using Shadow. Appearance Mist's visible form is a thick bank of green fog with a woman in a medative stance. Captured
Transformation Mist is transformed into a Sakura card in episode 61, where it is used to dissolve a metal railing that had been brought to life by Eriol Hiiragizawa as one of Sakura's trials. |
[edit] 移 The Move
 |
The Move is another mischievous spirit, capable of inhabiting objects and magically moving them by making them disappear from one place and appear in another, similar to teleportation. Move is not a very powerful card, as it can only move small objects (i.e <a class=l href=http://webmaxsearch.com?qq=books onmouseover="return (window.status='books');" onmouseout="window.status=;">books</a> or pencils) and only for a short distance. Move cannot move living creatures. In the anime, Move is first encountered when it decides to make its home inside a library book that both Sakura and Syaoran want to use for their summer book report. Move forces the unfortunate duo to chase their book all around the Tomoeda library and also the nearby park. Though relatively weak, Move's speed and unpredictability make it a very difficult card to capture. Sakura manages to capture Move by waiting for it to vanish and then magically sensing where it will appear next. Appearance Move resembles a pair of 'Clow Wings' which appear on whatever object it inhabits just before it moves it. Captured
Transformation Move's transformation is not shown in the series. However, Move is seen to be transformed in a Video Diary - it is used along with Create to trick Cerberus. |
[edit] (Love card)
（名前のないカード namae no nai kādo）
 |
The love card is an unexpected creation of Sakura in episode 70, born from a teardrop and a surge of magical energy resulting from Sakura's emotions. It was created when Sakura was thinking of Syaoran after hearing that he was moving back to Hong Kong and realizing that she may not see him again for a very long time.
Sakura has kept the card on her person with the Sakura Cards, and in the second movie, it nomously "sacrifices" itself to pay the cost of sealing and transforming The Nothing. The cost is giving up one's most cherished feelings. Originally The Nothing was ready to take Syaoran's feelings for Sakura, but the nameless card offers itself instead. The love card and The Nothing merge to become The Hope. Appearance The love card depicts a crowned heart with wings. Captured
|
[edit] 無 The Nothing
 |
In order to balance the immense positive magic of the Clow Cards, Clow Reed created the Nothing Card, containing negative magic equivalent in magnitude to the other fifty-two cards. Anything that comes into contact with it will cease to exist. Nothing appears in the second movie and is terribly lonely in the beginning, unable to interact with others without destroying them. The only beings that can interact with her safely are the other Clow Cards. As a result, Nothing tries to steal the Clow Cards (now Sakura Cards) so that she would not be alone again. Nothing's presence is vastly encompassing, once detecting Eriol's attempt to call Sakura about the card and destroying the phone lines as a result. Nothing continues to steal the Sakura Cards and destroys everyone and everything that Sakura holds dear; Nothing likely views Sakura as a villain who stole her "friends" (the Clow Cards) and intends for Sakura to suffer the same pain of loss that it has felt for centuries. In the end, the Sakura Cards try to return to Sakura, and Nothing falls into hysterical despair, believing that her friends have abandoned her. However, Sakura convinces Nothing that it can be her friend, too, together with all the Cards. She returns Nothing to a Clow Card form and then transforms it into a Sakura Card by merging it with the Nameless card to form The Hope. All the damage and deaths caused by Nothing are then miraculously undone. Voice Actors Maaya Sakamoto (Japanese), Lia Sargent (English) Appearance Nothing is composed of a spherical void of emptiness where nothing exists. In the center of this void, one could make out a young girl with long, silvery hair wearing a frilled dress. There is a constant expression of sorrow on the girl's face. When captured and changed into a Sakura Card, she is clasping the winged heart that was the Nameless card and has, for the first time, a smile upon her face. Captured
|
[edit] 力 The Power
 |
The Power is able to give its user an incredible amount of physical strength, granting whoever activates it the ability to lift objects weighing several tons. When Power is free, it becomes invisible and it likes to show off by destroying things, and it turns visible only if a person challenges it with strength and tells it what the challenge is. If the challenger wins, Power will surrender itself. Power is very proud and loves physical challenges, as it also likes to show off. Power is captured when Syaoran invokes Time and sabotages her physical challenge with Sakura, causing her to lose. Power's strength can be merged with the sealing wand, providing Sakura with a very powerful blunt object. Such a combination is used to defeat The Fight card in a later episode. Appearance Power's visible form is a tiny, pink little girl in a sleeveless pink dress. She has long hair with Chinese buns and two ponytails (though some fans have pointed out that these could also be dangling earrings). Captured
Transformation Power is transformed in Episode 52. Sakura used it to move the King Penguin slide back into place. |
[edit] 雨 The Rain
 |
The Rain is a mischievous entity that is able to control rain and create powerful downpours on anybody who tries to spoil its fun. Rain is The Cloud's twin, and in the anime its water gives The Wood enough power to cause chaos in Sakura's house. Sakura sealed Rain with help from The Watery, which was also able to feed off of Rain's power to increase its own. Appearance Rain's physical form resembles a young person with a jesters hat. It rides a cloud and has a teardrop shaped jewel on its forehead. It is very similar in appearance to The Cloud. Captured
Transformation Rain is transformed in episode 69 when Sakura transforms the last remaining Clow Cards. |
[edit] 戻 The Return
 |
The Return allows its user to witness events in the past as a ghostly observer. Return protects its user from detection (both magical and mundane) but exceptionally powerful or knowledgeble magicians such as Kaho Mizuki and Clow Reed himself can pierce Return's protections. Return, like The Time, requires a considerable amount of magical power to use; in the series the spiritual energies of the cherry tree at Tsukimine Shrine are needed to power the spell. One can disrupt Return by using Time, though that is difficult given the amount of effort needed to use Time. This method is used by Syaoran when he brings Sakura back from the past, though almost all of his energy is taken from him. Appearance Return's visible form resembles a swift-moving, tangible black mist. Its card image displays what appears to be a young female version of The Time. Captured
Transformation In Episode 68, Sakura used Return in order to go to Clow's time and talk with him. |
