The Swing card :o

Really happy to see Sakura and Meiling fighting side by side again like the old times. Not a surprise that Kaito is involved in the magic side of this series. There was something off about him ever since he appeared in the show.

The action really picked up this episode too

No meilin 😭😭I was hoping she would stay for the entire series. She's such a wonderful character. I loved watching her and Sakura fight. I'm really happy for a humanoid card though. That one of the main things I was disappointed about the clear cards. My favorite are definitely the humanoid cards.
Finally seeing kaito use some magic. I'm dying to know what's hes up to.
I'm going to be so sad not seeing meilin anymore though. She will always be my favorite.

Glad that Sakura was able to stop the dragon earthquake. Kaito can really turn back time. Meiling and Sakura fighting together was really exciting. Glad she told Syaoran that in everything he is doing he needs to think about Sakura because if he got hurt if would hurt her more

Great episode.

Swing card? That's a weird card name considering it was ripping things apart and causing mini quakes.

So what exactly did Kaito do? Seemed like he performed some sort of Time related manipulation but I'm not sure.

The part where Sakura and Meilin fought together was awesome. Easily my favorite part of the episode.
Meiling finally called Sakura 'Sakura'. :D
I'm sad to see her leave, hope she returns at some point in the future.

Also, Kero fretting over the fact that he has to find an excuse to tell Tomoyo was hilarious. XD

He turned back the clock so he could "not" say anything about Sakura's father.

Whilst I was still not that entertained with this episode, it was nice seeing Sakura and Meiling join forces and fight together. They really strengthened their bonds even more and that's nice to see some good character chemistry right there.

Awww this episode made me wonder why Clamp never thought of adding Meilin in the manga. Her character has so much depth.

That conversation between her and Syaoran in the end was the best, and probably the most mature ever in the whole CCS series.

I think we're up to a big finale fight towards the end, hope no one dies, but I feel some dark path to end. We have 2 fighting cards caught wew.

The soundtrack in the end gives so much feels OMG, almost cried lolz

There was a lot of destruction going on this episode, first with the Daidoujis' property then with the fence to an unfortunate person's house.

Whoa, Kaito's specialty seems to be time magic. I had a feeling he was erasing Akiho's memories.

Meilin's going back to Hong Kong! I really like how her character has developed since her first appearance back in the original series.

Swing, that was easily one of the most dangerous cards to exist, thank good it didn't destroy the house, just about everything else got wrecked.

Eriol was right about Kaito, being able to rewind time, that is some power he has at his disposal.

That was scary, the fighter appeared out of nowhere and attacked.

Good thing Meiling was there, she is always excellent at hand to hand combat, Sakura was pretty good at dodging the attacks.

Meiling is now gone but Sakura has that Struggle card now if she needs someone to help her fight from now on.

I feel like this is the best episode of the Clear Card arc so far. it felt like an episode of the original series, in spirit rather than in a carbon copy way like many of the previous episodes
Meiling's connection with Sakura lately has been the best part of this season, so I'm sad to see her leave for however long she'll be gone...

Sad to see Meling leave, she really doesn't feel like filler fodder but more like she's part of the show. The fight section was great, a bit ambitious but still entertaining.

I love these filler episodes as much as the canon, because the pacing stays the same, and some necessary information from the manga were revealed only in these episodes.
Kaito looks like a bad guy, but Eriol used to look even more like a bad guy. So, I think Kaito might be good. I wanna see him enjoy a cake, so that he can officially become a CLAMP character.

If he can turn back time within his magic circle it means that it is possible that Akiho is a childhood version of someone.

"Have I ever told you about Sakura's dad?"
"...Shit."
Turns back time.
Kaito is some shady character. Unlike the previous "villains", Kaito seems to be inherently evil, which is what I wanted in this sequel.

So sad to see Mei-Lin leave after only four episodes. She's easily one of the best characters in the show. I hope her visit has motivated Sakura and Shaoran to talk things out between themselves without Mei-Lin acting as a mediator.

Loved the fight scene against Struggle.

Not much to say about this episode, the action was reminiscent of the original again, but it was still fun.

It's amazing how Meiling stole the show in these last episodes, her interactions with Sakura are cute. She keeps telling them about the importance of self care but she worries about them very much too. I just wish they would listen to her and talk and make things clear.
It's sad to see her go and it's a shame she's not on the manga so we can appreciate more of her.

Now, about Kaito, I'm actually hoping he is evil because we never had someone be bad in CCS and I think it could be interesting. If he turns out like Eriol being all like "I just wanted to help in a sadistic way" I'll be disappointed.

It's episode 16 and I'm still waiting for the rabbit to move.
Considering how slow is the pace and that the manga doesn't seem to be nowhere near ending I think we'll end up having a second season after all.

The Swing card made no sense imo, atleast for what it caused.

You messed up Kaito. He had to turn back time to fix his mistake...

Sakura & Meiling vs the Struggle card was nice to watch!

Sad to see Meiling leave already!

I knew The Struggle was a card. The only problem is I think they mixed their cards up when describing the cards polar opposite...this wasn't the Twin Card's replica. It wasn't anything like it. It was literally a replacement for The Fight Card. It was almost identical in combat, not to mention their outfits were both similar to the fighting styles they adapted. So, yeah, not Twins..Fight.

It had been a while since we saw such a good episode in Sakura (the last being the aquarium one...). I didn't know I liked Meiling so much up until now. And exactly when I was thinking "Aw, she still calls her Kinomoto-san... ;-;" she asked to call her Sakura! So sweet.

The scene of Kaito making time go back because he said something he shouldn't have was also great. I want to find out the mysteries of this seasonnn

You know, Kaito could have just said "Yes, you have mentioned about her father to me before" and get it over with. Then again, that wouldn't paint him as a super mysterious and potentially troublesome character now, would it? Gobba use that super mysterious majik and stuff. LOL.

These last couple episodes were great. So much character development, between Sakura and Syaoran, and then Sakura and Meiling. For a character that doesn't exist in the manga, Meiling surely did number of good things before her exit at the end of this episode. I think I'll miss her too.
To be or not to be... that is not the question. ;3

Wow that was actually a really nice fight between Meiling and the Struggle card.

And also, Meiling should have given Sakura some tips about hand-to-hand combat instead of some chinese desert recipies lol. At least Sakura is great at dodging.

So Meiling is going back to Hong Kong... I'll miss her to be honest, she's a really good character and a really good friend to Sakura. I've enjoyed these last episodes with her having almost a main role in the story. I hope she'll return at some point in the anime.

P.S.: I'm kinda little disappointed of how Kaito showed his powers in such a simple (and unnecessary?) way. I mean, I already knew he was up to something and this ep. just confirmed that Akiho knows nothing about what's going on around her but well... I expected something else.

The combination of Sakura & Meiling is so effective againsy a clear card who is a direct confrontation, cuz most of the cards is not in a form of a human..
Kaito has powers?!? and powers involving time!?!? yeah...it looked like it! Kaito reverted time so that Shino won't mention Sakura's father...
4/5.

Well now, finally get to see some of what Kaito can do, and it's strong. Kind of funny that he rewinded time over that little bit of information slip, seemed like a bit much but whatever. It worked anyway. And then we got a WHOLE LOT Of action this episode, that fight with the Struggle was pretty awesome. Sad to have to say goodbye to Meiling after all this though, wish she could have stuck around a little longer.

So in this episode we had:

- End of the Swing card, which was some kind of dragon, really random I must say.

- Sakura and Meiling fighting a character that looks is like 2 characters but it's one??? Oh, and they fight barehanded, didn't expect Sakura to be that good with martial arts (although Meiling, who does know martial arts, is the one who does basically everything, but hey)

- Sakura x Shaoran ^_^

- Kaito stuff. I'm really curious to see who he really is.

Meilin literally went from being the most annoying character EVER (at least to me) to one of my FAVS!! The ONLY character I feel has gone through some REAL character development!!! I’m having Syaoran withdrawals y’all. I really want to know what he knows. Besides that, some real danger appeared with this episode’s cards which is good. We got some pretty juice info about the Butler! though I don’t think anyone was surprised when he used magic, I don’t know why they waited so long to show him using it. Anyways I’m still waiting for a yukito/toya moment *fingers crossed*. We’ll see what happens next. Though judging by the preview it’s not very promising.

Meling is so COOL. She was such a light in this series, it's sad to see her go. She brought out the best of these characters imo.
Kaito could have told Akiho she mentioned the dad thing before, but that would make her begin to doubt him, no? It seems he needs Akiho's absolute trust. What a good villain thing to do.

There has to be some strict condition on time reversal. Probably it can only be done within like 1 minute or something.

And nooo I am gonna miss MeLing. When she leaves the plot goes stale and nothing happens.

Two cards in one episode, and we got to see Meiling kick ass again!

Kaito appears to be able to turn back time, and when he accidentally said something about Sakura's father without Akiho ever telling him about it, he realized that he messed up, and reversed time so that Akiho wouldn't be suspicious.
