and this episode is making sure that you know it&period; The episode takes pains to point out that quite a few of the new cards Sakura has captured are variations on the <a href&equals;"https&colon;&sol;&sol;ccsakura&period;fandom&period;com&sol;wiki&sol;Clow&lowbar;Cards">Clow Cards<&sol;a> that she had captured back during the original series&period;

Again&period;<&sol;span><&sol;p>&NewLine;<p><span style&equals;"font-weight&colon; 400&semi;">The problem is that Sakura can’t get close without the new card trying to drop her on her head&period; It feels a little weird that Kero is the one to suggest the solution to Sakura&period; Even back when she was inexperienced&comma; Sakura’s biggest strength was coming up with new and imaginative ways to apply her limited stable of cards to the problem at hand&period;<&sol;span><&sol;p>&NewLine;<figure style&equals;"width&colon;
