Cardcaptor Sakura: Clear Card Prologue – Sakura and the Two Bears

Synopsis

Continues the story of Cardcaptor Sakura

In the quiet town of Tomoeda, ten-year-old Sakura Kinomoto lives an ordinary life as a fourth grader until she discovers a mysterious deck called "The Clow." While examining this new treasure, she accidentally releases a powerful gust of wind that scatters the cards across the city. This incident awakens Keroberos, known simply as "Kero," the Beast of the Seal. He informs Sakura that she has freed the Clow Cards, magical beings created by the sorcerer Clow Reed. Each card possesses immense power and acts on its own, making them a serious threat once unbound. Consequently, Sakura must step up to neutralize this danger. Designated as the "Cardcaptor" and given the Sealed Key, Kero charges her with finding and capturing every wayward Clow Card. Assisted by her best friend Tomoyo Daidouji and guided by Kero's instruction, Sakura must balance her daily life as a student with her duties as the magical guardian, Cardcaptor Sakura.

In this installment

After the Sakura Card Arc ends, life returns to its normal rhythm. The secrets are solved, evil forces are defeated, and the challenges of power are finished. Still, Sakura feels a quiet sadness. As she says goodbye to parts of her past, she works hard to hold onto her friendships and the connection with the person she loves.

Background

This episode was released bundled with the special edition of the third volume of Cardcaptor Sakura: Clear Card. It adapts the ending of the original manga accurately as opposed to the original series and The Sealed Card which had an original ending. However, the TV anime of Cardcaptor Sakura: Clear Card follows the original anime's continuity rather than the manga or prologue OVA.
