Cardcaptor Sakura Episode 46 Discussion

That was atrocious. I'm legitimately pissed at how lazily they handled that battle. Sakura has how many dozens of cards, and 90% of her victories throughout the entire series have defaulted to her just spamming Windy and Fly. You'd think for the final confrontation she'd have to think up some creative combination to win but no, as per usual, just throw out Windy and despite Yue not being apparently weak to it, it just captures him like he's a level 1 pokemon. The writers put absolutely zero thought into this. Twenty episodes of foreshadowing this battle and this is how it ended. Ridiculous. Not to mention she got a get out of jail free card for no real reason to try again when she'd already lost the first time despite there being a "no one is allowed to interfere" rule but y'know, the protagonist is immune to that I guess. I think it would've been a much happier ending if she'd actually lost for real. At least then the relationship between that pedophile teacher and the 10 year old girl would be over once and for all and I think everyone would be more comfortable with that.

This episode was so confusing. They never explained why time, wood, amd windy did not work against Yue. He said the cards were "his" but I can't recall a point in the show where they say anything about specific cards belonging to the guardians or being aligned with the sun or moon. They also never explained why windy works on Yue in the end. The whole fight with Yue was so plot armored and they pulled half of it out of their ass. I am seriously thinking about dropping the show. This could have been dome so much better if they had only explained this stuff from the beginning instead of inventing it during the final fight and then not even bothering to come up with a solid reasoning for how Sakura won.

..what a mahou shoujo episode haha.

I honestly liked the little silent glimpse into the world where Sakura wakes up into a world where everyone forgot their loved ones... it was so well-directed.. but but, why this conclusion to being defeated by the Judge - Yue... I didn't understand the co-relation between losing the right to be the Master of Clow Cards and the world where people forgot their most beloved.. Very illogical.. am I expecting too much from a mahou shoujo? :p

I also didn't like silly things like, Syaoran-Kero-Tomoyo standing sooooo faaaaaar from the Tokyo Tower, how could be hear and see the battle between Yue-Sakura xD ..they could've been placed somewhere near.

But still I loved the episode.. it was so well-done, despite some complaints on my side - I really enjoyed it and was into it.. touched my inner shoujo.
