Plot[]

The new series starts at the point where The Sealed Card movie leaves off when fourteen-year-old Sakura starts junior high school along with her best friends - including Syaoran, who had just returned to Tomoeda.

After having a dream with a mysterious cloaked figure, all of Sakura's fifty-three cards "turn clear" and are rendered powerless; thus she starts her quest to find out what is wrong with them. In doing so, Sakura and her allies discover and capture new Clear Cards using a new key and incantation to "secure" them. Meanwhile, a topmost magician is waiting for the right time to take the Cards in order for him to successfully work forbidden magics and finally realize his deepest wish.

Characters[]

While several characters can be considered main characters due to their importance to the plot, Sakura Kinomoto is the main protagonist of the story, and Yuna D. Kaito the main antagonist.

Main[]

  • Sakura Kinomoto—The main protagonist of the story, Sakura is now a junior high school student (7th grade) attending Tomoeda Middle School. Still overly optimistic and soft-hearted as ever, she gradually learns to not let her guard down so easily.
  • Syaoran Li—Sakura's new boyfriend and one of her strongest allies; he goes to the same middle school as Sakura and Tomoyo, as he had in elementary school. His magical prowess regarding his sword has grown somewhat since the original anime.
  • Tomoyo Daidouji—The second cousin of Sakura Kinomoto. She becomes Sakura's primary assistant by designing "battle costumes" and filming all of her magical (and non-magical) endeavors, much to Sakura's embarrassment.
  • Cerberus—The sentient and autonomous guardian beast of the book of fifty-three pink Sakura Cards (Clow Cards originally). He appointed Sakura the title of "Cardcaptor" in the original series. His magic centers on the Sun, Fire, Earth, and Light.

Recurring[]

  • Touya Kinomoto—Sakura's nineteen-year-old older brother. He possesses minor spiritual powers that enable him to see spirits and communicate with those of the world of the dead. He can even enter into the spirit world itself by projecting his own spiritual essence. Another ability he possesses is physically detecting the presence of magical beings; similar to that of his younger sister. He once had a romance with his eighth-grade teacher, Kaho Mizuki, though they cut it off. He is gradually regaining the magical energy that he previously gave to Yue in the third season, and developing new magical abilities that he chooses not to reveal yet, even to Yue. His closest friend and confidant is Yukito, the temporary form of Yue; Yukito, in turn, considers Touya his "number one".
  • Akiho Shinomoto—A new transfer student who has traveled all over the world, with her guardian and caretaker Kaito. She is shy and initially very quiet. She soon becomes a good friend to Sakura and Tomoyo, while Syaoran remains somewhat skeptical of her, treating her with respect.
  • Yuna D. Kaito—The major antagonist in the Clear Card Arc and the mysterious guardian and elder brother-like figure of the timid Akiho. According to Eriol, he is one of the top-ranked sorcerers of being ranked with the topmost title of "D", which is aware by Syaoran. He was expelled from the English magic society for "losing" the forbidden ancient relic they were hiding. His goal to acquire certain Clear Cards from Sakura that possesses certain powerful magical abilities to finally activate the supremely powerful taboo magic of Alice in Clockland.

Supporting[]

  • Yukito Tsukishiro—The classmate and longtime best friend of Touya Kinomoto and Sakura Kinomoto's very first unrequited girlhood crush. He is the borrowed form of the stoic Yue, the second Guardian of the Sakura Cards, whose personality is entirely separate from his true magical form.
  • Yue—Yue is one of two Guardians of the Clow Cards, along with Cerberus. After the Final Judgment was concluded, he acknowledged Sakura as "Master of the Clow." He is the true form and genuine "alter ego" of Yukito. His magic centers on the Moon and elements Water, Air, and Dark.
  • Eriol Hiiragizawa—The "young" reincarnation of Clow Reed. As the main antagonist of the original anime's third and final season, he had created dangerous incidents to give Sakura a reason to convert all fifty-three Clow Cards into her own Cards. He keeps in touch from time to time. Since being weakened by Kaito's attack, he instructs Spiner and Ruby to return to Tomoeda to help Syaoran, Keroberos, and Yue to protect Sakura in the inevitable fight against Kaito, while he recuperates under Kaho's care.
  • Kaho Mizuki—The former fourth-grade teacher of Tomoeda Elementary School of the original series' second season, and Touya's former girlfriend. She is a great friend of Eriol's and had helped him many times, to fully prepare Sakura for transforming all Clow Cards into her own cards. She is Eriol's lover.
  • Rika Sasaki—A good friend and former classmate of Sakura, Tomoyo, and Syaoran of elementary school. Since middle school, she has been transferred to another school. She later returns to give Sakura a popup book of Alice's Adventures in Wonderland, which Sakura gives to Akiho. She is much taller and slimmer since the original anime, as two years passed since then.
  • Spinel Sun—The catlike counterpart of Cerberus. He is a black panther who can breathe red fire, and fly using his wings.
  • Ruby Moon—The female counterpart of Yue who was created by Eriol's extraordinarily powerful moon magic. She can use her wings to fly and generate sharp projectiles of pink crystals, similar to Yue's gray crystal projectiles.
  • Momo—A small rabbit-like creature created by Kaito's supreme magic. Her purpose is similar to that of Spinner and Keroberos, to defend Kaito and help him finally realize his deepest wish. Her true form and eyes are yet to be seen. She seems to have been created from Alice in Clockland itself, as she seems to be its personal keeper instead of being created by Kaito's D magic. Her true form is a slender humanoid woman with rabbit ears.
  • Wang Wei—The former caretaker and butler for Syaoran Li and, for a time, his cousin Meiling in the original anime. He has moved back to Hong Kong, China, now that Syaoran is old enough to live on his own in Japan. He calls his former charge on occasion, as he still worries about his well-being via video chat.
  • Quadruplets Sisters—Syaoran's elder sisters, they are identical quadruplets. They enjoy annoying their only brother by constantly overflowing his emails with food pictures.
  • Lilie Shinomoto—She was Akiho's mother who had died sometime before the start of the series when her only non-magical child was an infant. She had a friendship with Yuna D. Kaito and even a teenage Nadeshiko during her younger years. She may have psychically foreseen the eventual meeting and friendship of her and Nadeshiko's daughters, as she referred to them as "the two Alices." She had seemed to have placed a powerful ancient spell on the supremely powerful and dangerously magical Alice in Clockland book that Momo secretly guards.
