Fujitaka: Sakura, breakfast is ready! Sakura: Okay! Sakura: I'm Sakura Kinomoto, a 4th-grader in Tomoeda Elementary School. Sakura: My favorite subjects are P.E. and Music. Sakura: Math is my least favorite. Sakura: Basically, I'm an energetic girl. Sakura: My family members are... Sakura: G'morning! Touya: What were you rampaging in your room for? Sakura: I'm not rampaging! Touya: Then you were running around noisily. Sakura: I was only walking like normal! Touya: Even your normal walking alone sounds like monsters swaggering. Sakura: I'm not a monster! Sakura: This is my mean brother, Touya, a high school junior. Touya: You're too small to be a monster anyway. Sakura: He goes to Seijou High School, which is right next to my elementary school. Sakura: He's always mean. Sakura: Just because he's a bit taller. That's so unfair! Sakura: Someday I'll become as big as a telephone pole, and... Sakura: ..step on him for sure! Fujitaka: You two get along well in the morning. Sakura: This is my father, Fujitaka. Sakura: He's an archaeology professor at a university. Sakura: A kind person who's very good at cooking and sewing. Sakura: He's my favorite! Fujitaka: Here you go. Sakura: Wow, it looks good. Sakura: I'm eating! Sakura: This is my family. Sakura: Huh? My Mother? Sakura: She passed away when I was 3 years old. Sakura: But, I'm not lonely. I have Father. Sakura: And even though my brother is mean, he's around too. Fujitaka: Is it good? Sakura: Yeah! Touya: Thanks for the food. Sakura: Leaving already? Touya: Soccer practice in the morning.

Yukito: Sakura, you're full of energy today too. Sakura: He is Yukito Tsukishiro. Sakura: He's in my brother's class, also a high school junior.

Yukito: See you later! Sakura: Yukito... Tomoyo: That was smart, was it not? Sakura: To...Tomoyo. Tomoyo: A present when he is leaving, he knows what is to be done. Sakura: G...G'morning, Tomoyo. Tomoyo: Good morning, Sakura. Sakura: Tomoyo Daidouji. She's my best friend. Sakura: She's smart and pretty, the daughter of the president of a huge company. Tomoyo: You looked so cute just now. Sakura: Huh? Tomoyo: You were all enchanted, holding the candy so firmly. Sakura: Well, Tomoyo... Tomoyo: I wish I kept it on video. Sakura: Did you hear? Sakura: Taking videos and photos are Tomoyo's hobbies, but she takes everything of me... Tomoyo: Oh, that's right. I bought a new video camera. Tomoyo: Let me take videos of you some other time, okay? Sakura: Ye...Yeah. But don't you take other things more interesting than just me? Tomoyo: There is nothing else more interesting and cuter than you, Sakura! Tomoyo: I will bring the video camera starting tomorrow right away! Sakura: Just as I thought, Tomoyo might be a bit weird... Teacher: 'And then, I can see the face of a boy,' Teacher: 'whose mouth popped open like an O-shape.' Teacher: 'I was quite surprised.' Teacher: 'I thought it was a magic orange.' Sakura: I wonder if that's me... Tomoyo: That looks like a cute drawing. What is it? Teacher: Well then, Miss Kinomoto. Sakura: Um... Today... Sakura: Ye...Yes! Teacher: Please read. Sakura: I'll tell you later. Tomoyo: From the 12th line. Sakura: 'I thought it was magic orange.' Sakura: 'Because in any case, the butterfly has changed its shape.' Girls: Wow, that's awesome! Naoko: Sakura's awesome! Chiharu: That's so cool! Teacher: Thank you, Miss Kinomoto. Teacher: Next, we will practise tossing. Teacher: Everyone, please have the batons ready. Girls: Yes! Sakura: After all, the dream did bug me. Sakura: I'll tell Tomoyo next time. Chiharu: Sakura is really good at sports and also at baton, Chiharu: but once in a while she's like that, isn't she?

Sakura: Someone's here? Sakura: Bo...Both Father and Touya aren't here... # Break Sakura: It's from Father's library. Sakura: What should I do if it's a burglar? Sakura: I'll look quietly from the door. Sakura: If anyone's here, I'll call the police! Sakura: No one's here... Sakura: It's that book. Sakura: A card? Sakura: Wind... Eh? Sakura: Um... Sakura: Wind... Windy... Sakura: What is this? Kero: Hellooo! Sakura: Huh?! Kero: So you were able to wake me up. Sakura: Osaka dialect? Kero: Well, this book was in Osaka for quite a while. Kero: So I picked up the Osaka dialect. Sakura: Where's the battery? The switch? Kero: Whoa... Whatcha doin'?! Sakura: Where's the sound coming out from? Kero: I'm not a toy! Kero: I'm Kerberos, Beast of the Seal who guards this book. Sakura: Seal? Kerberos? Kero: That's right. Kero: To guard these cards in this book from becomin' evil is my... Kero: The cards are all gone?! Why? Why's that?! Kero: Where in the world did they go? Sakura: This? Kero: This is it! This is it! This is it!! Kero: Then, what about the other cards? Sakura: I said, 'Windy,' Sakura: then suddenly the wind came, Sakura: and they all flew away. Kero: I see. Kero: What?! Sakura: Thanks for the food! Kero: Where are you bringing that to? Sakura: I'm studying, so I'm eating it in my room. Sakura: How is it? Kero: This is bad. I have absolutely no idea where the cards are. Sakura: Here. Kero: It looks good. Kero: This book contains the 'Clow Cards.' Sakura: Clow Cards? Kero: 'Clow Cards. When the Seal is broken, a disaster will befall upon this world.' Kero: Those are special cards created by a powerful magician named Clow Reed. Kero: Each card has its own life and holds stunnin' power. Kero: They all do whatever they want, and no normal beings can win against them. Kero: That's why Clow created this book, and put me, Beast of the Seal, on the cover. Kero: Anyway, with the one to bring the cards back... Kero: ... you , I'll be your companion. Sakura: Why me? Kero: It was you who scattered them with the magic card of the wind, right? Sakura: Bu...But, it's your job to seal the cards properly, isn't it? Kero: Well, I fell asleep by mistake... Sakura: For how long? Kero: About 30 years... Sakura: And you call yourself Beast of the Seal? Kero: Lotsa things happen in life! C'mon! Sakura: So that noise was you snoring, wasn't it? Kero: In any case, the fact that you could open this book... Kero: ...means that you could use a bit of magic. Kero: What's your name? Sakura: Sakura. Kero: All right, Sakura. Stand over there. Sakura: Huh? Sakura: Huh? Kero: O Key of the Seal. Kero: There is one who wishes for a contract with thee. Kero: A girl. Named Sakura. Kero: O Key, grant her power! Kero: Release! Kero: Sakura, take the wand! Kero: All right! Kero: It's the birth of the Card Captor!! Sakura: This is totally, totally, totally impossible! Kero: Wow! This is soft! Sakura: There's no way I'm the Card Captor! Kero: Card Captor, the one who captures the Clow Cards. Kero: Isn't that cool? Sakura: I'm just a normal grade- schooler, you know? Sakura: I have nothing to do with the disaster of the world. Kero: Who was the one that scattered the card with this? Sakura: Who was the one that didn't watch the cards and fell asleep? Sakura: Such strong wind... Kero: Sakura! Sakura: What's that?! Kero: It's a Clow Card. Sakura: Huh? Kero: That's the card, Fly . Kero: It's not the time to admire! Hurry! Sakura: For what? Kero: Card Captor Sakura's first job! Sakura: Wha...What?! Sakura: Why in my pyjama... Kero: What's the world's one and only Card Captor sayin'? Sakura: That's so huge! I can't do it! Kero: Don't say discouragin' things! Kero: Sakura, magic! Kero: That key! Do it the way I taught you just now! Sakura: O Key which hides the forces of darkness, Sakura: reveal thy true form before me. Sakura: I, Sakura, command thee under contract. Sakura: Release! Kero: Okay, Sakura? The card Fly is of the element wind. Kero: You should be able to capture it with Windy . Sakura: Is this really so? Kero: Anyway, get a little closer. Sakura: What should I do? It came flying! Kero: Sakura, the card Windy ! Kero: This is bad. It's comin' again! Kero: Hurry! Use the card Windy ! Sakura: But this is... Sakura: I can't do it! Kero: Isn't Card Captor the one who's gonna do somethin' about that? Sakura: Something... Sakura: Maybe I can do something... Kero: What are you gonna do?! Kero: Sakura! Kero: Sakura! Sakura: O Wind, become a chain of admonition. Sakura: Windy ! Sakura: Return to thy form which thou should be! Clow Card! Kero: Well done, Sakura! Sakura: I thought I was going to die! Kero: You're truly the Card Captor that I counted on. Sakura: I didn't say a single word that I'm doing this! Kero: You'll become a good adult when you gain lots of experience. Kero: Now, the card you captured with all that effort, try tapping it. Sakura: What will that do? Kero: Just do it. Sakura: Fly ! Kero: How's it? Feels good, doesn't it? Sakura: Yeah! Kero: I'll depend on you from now on, okay? Card Captor Sakura? Sakura: Yeah! Sakura: I didn't say I'm doing it! ===== Ending song ===== ===== Leave It To Kero ===== Screen: Leave It To Kero!
