She spends quite a bit of time with him, talking about his granddaughter who passed away, playing games, and dining together. While Sakura tries to do something nice for him after everything he\u2019s done for her, it becomes apparent that he knows her better than she thinks.<\/p>\n<p>\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014<\/p>\n<p>Wow. Unlike 4Kids, Nelvana has no problem showing driving scenes where everything is on the \u2018wrong\u2019 side.<\/p>\n<p><b>Title Change:<\/b> \u201cSakura and the Rainbow of Memories\u201d is changed to \u201cThe Summer House\u201d<i>.<\/i><\/p>\n<p>They remove a moving shot of the road and the landscape as Yukito talks about imposing on them during their vacation. Sakura\u2019s dad says it\u2019s no imposition then apologizes for basically forcing him to go with them. Yukito replies that he didn\u2019t force him. Toya points out that neither of them have any homework to do even though it\u2019s summer break. We cut to Sakura saying she\u2019s jealous of them because she has a huge pile of homework at home. Toya says Sakura will probably put it off until the end of vacation, which Sakura denies. No idea why all of this was removed.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/images2.imgbox.com\/f8\/f1\/yzxypWkA_o.png\"\/><\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/images2.imgbox.com\/83\/a6\/RO4oMkVy_o.png\"\/><\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/images2.imgbox.com\/b7\/61\/8RniUaKi_o.png\"\/><\/p>\n<p>The dub doesn\u2019t say that they\u2019re renting this cabin, just that they\u2019re using it. I\u2019m only noting this because they mention that the owners are overseas this year so the dub kinda makes it seem like they\u2019re sneaking into this cabin because they know the owners aren\u2019t there.<\/p>\n<p>Fujitaka apologizes for not being able to take Sakura and Toya overseas for vacation, and Sakura says this place is awesome too. In the dub, he tells Sakura that she can visit her grandpa whenever she wants because he lives close by.<\/p>\n<p>Sakura tells the picture of her mother that they\u2019ll be staying there for two days. Dub!Sakura doesn\u2019t mention this.<\/p>\n<p>Dub!Sakura contradicts original!Sakura\u2019s earlier line mentioning that they\u2019re going to be there for two days by saying they\u2019ll be there for a week.<\/p>\n<p>Sakura mentions that Kero doesn\u2019t technically need to eat. Kero confirms. Sakura then says that he still enjoys sweets, and Kero says it\u2019s just something he likes. Then Sakura accuses him of being a glutton. In the dub, Sakura says there\u2019s more to life than sweets, and Kero says there\u2019s nothing in life as good as sweets. Sakura then says one day she\u2019ll make Kero exercise.<\/p>\n<p>That doesn\u2019t make much sense to me. If it\u2019s still canon that he doesn\u2019t need to eat but can still eat, doesn\u2019t that mean his body has to be amazing at burning off those calories anyway since his body has no need for the nutrition the food gives? If his body wasn\u2019t good at that, the excess would just be stored infinitely, making him gain significant amounts of weight even after eating a meal or two.<\/p>\n<p>Oh now I understand that line change earlier about her grandpa\u2019s house. In the original, the boys ask Sakura if they\u2019d rather go with them to go shopping or take a walk. She says she\u2019d rather take a walk, and Yukito points out that they passed a large house right before they arrived, supposedly suggesting that she go there. In the dub, Fujitaka asks if she\u2019d rather go visit her grandpa, but the rest of the conversation (about the house being close by and Sakura missing it because she was asleep) is kept the same.<\/p>\n<p>I think that was changed because they really seem like they\u2019re suggesting that Sakura go to some random nearby house for no reason, especially considering that she\u2019s alone. Nelvana probably didn\u2019t want to give kids the message that visiting strangers\u2019 homes, especially alone, is a good idea. I\u2019ll actually give Nelvana that one. Safety first, kids.<\/p>\n<p>Sakura says goodbye to her mom\u2019s picture before she leaves. In the dub, she goes \u201cHuh?\u201d then looks at the picture\u2026.I don\u2019t know what\u2019s happening. Why did she say \u201cHuh?\u201d Did something happen?<\/p>\n<p>Originally, Kero says it\u2019s great to be out in the fresh air since he was stuck in that bag for so long. Sakura agrees. In the dub, Kero says she never mentioned that her grandfather lives nearby and then asks what he\u2019s like. Sakura says he\u2019ll see soon.<\/p>\n<p>Sakura compares her grandfather\u2019s garden with that of Alice\u2019s in <i>Alice in Wonderland.<\/i> Kero says he knows of that book, and Sakura says he knows a lot. Kero agrees. In the dub, Sakura says Tori and her father never told her the house was so big. Kero asks why she never went with them to this house and Sakura says she was too little to go\u2026.Too little to go to a house?<\/p>\n<p>Sakura\u2019s grandfather, calling her \u2018pretty little miss\u2019 asks if Sakura\u2019s lost. She says that she\u2019s not and that she was just out for a walk. She then points out that she\u2019s vacationing in the summer house up the road. Her grandfather asks if she\u2019s like to have some tea, and Sakura agrees. She slowly walks up the porch, looking at the various sights around the house, before she decides to settle down for some tea.<\/p>\n<p>All of this is removed for the same obvious safety reasons. Maybe I\u2019m coming off as paranoid or cynical, but would you be incredibly pissed if you heard your kid stopped at some random old man\u2019s house and accepted an invitation to have tea with him, and told him exactly where you were staying? Especially given that she\u2019s alone in the middle of nowhere with hardly a soul around? And this is not helped in the slightest during the shot when Sakura\u2019s walking towards the table. She does it so slowly and the music is so soft and downright creepy that it really makes it seem like she\u2019s headed towards some creepy pedo serial killer\u2019s trap.<\/p>\n<p>Granted, they could\u2019ve still kept most of that scene and just changed the dialogue, outside of the walking on the porch bit, but still.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/images2.imgbox.com\/b0\/51\/3EARHMSE_o.png\"\/><\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/images2.imgbox.com\/aa\/4d\/i7uX9cs0_o.png\"\/><\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/images2.imgbox.com\/ec\/a0\/aZtFvlQ7_o.png\"\/><\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/images2.imgbox.com\/ba\/b3\/w4j7wMCl_o.png\"\/><\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/images2.imgbox.com\/2b\/74\/eAXa0NXP_o.png\"\/><\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/images2.imgbox.com\/c6\/74\/yp7jYSyh_o.png\"\/><\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/images2.imgbox.com\/82\/c7\/djVnN2EC_o.png\"\/><\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/images2.imgbox.com\/17\/c5\/onTYR7lI_o.png\"\/><\/p>\n<p>In the dub, by the way, her grandfather instantly recognizes her and he invites her for tea before we ever even get a closeup shot of him.<\/p>\n<p>They remove a shot of Sakura wordlessly going \u2018Huh?\u2019 before her grandfather pulls out the chair.<\/p>\n<p>Yukito points out that Toya is very good at barbecuing. Toya says it\u2019s because of his job at a Korean barbecue. Sakura points out that Toya excels at working anywhere. In the dub. Tori asks how they want their steaks. Julian says he wants his well done and Sakura says it doesn\u2019t matter since they all look great.<\/p>\n<p>Fujitaka asks Sakura how her walk was. She says it was great because she met a nice old man at the house down the street and had tea with him. Fujitaka smiles at her, and Toya asks if she gulped all of the tea down. She denies it, then Yukito asks how the tea was. She says the tea was delicious and so were the sweets. Toya then coyly points out that she really can\u2019t control herself.<\/p>\n<p>In the dub, Aiden asks how her visit with her grandpa was. She says it was great and that he should\u2019ve told her how amazing his house was. Then she mentions that she had tea with him. Tori asks if she left any for him, and Sakura scolds him. Julian asks why their grandpa couldn\u2019t make it to the barbecue, and she responds that he had to go to town. Tori then says it was probably to refill his supplies after Sakura ate with him.<\/p>\n<p>Originally, Sakura tells her dad that the old man said she should visit again tomorrow. Her dad agrees and says it\u2019s good to meet new friends on vacation. In the dub, Sakura says her grandpa told her she should visit tomorrow. Her dad says it\u2019s a great idea and says how great it is that he\u2019s nearby.<\/p>\n<p>Seriously? Again, I get the change \u2013 Safety and necessity because it\u2019s been the running plotline. However, who would really sit there and smile hearing that your small child had tea and sweets with an unknown old man down the street? And then hear that he told her to visit again tomorrow and agree that she should go because \u2018It\u2019s nice to make new friends.\u2019 Even coming from the simpler days of the 90\u2019s, this wouldn\u2019t fly. I wish we lived in a nice world where this would initially come off as totally innocent, but we don\u2019t.<\/p>\n<p>I know that Fujitaka knows that the man up the street is her grandfather, and that might be why he\u2019s so comfortable allowing this, but until we get to that reveal, this isn\u2019t a great message for kids. Again, I know it seems super paranoid and cynical, and it\u2019s sad that stuff like this can\u2019t be viewed as 100% totally innocent by default, but that\u2019s just my view on it.<\/p>\n<p>Tomoyo says she has the national competition for her choir club coming up and that\u2019s why she couldn\u2019t go on vacation with Sakura. In the dub, she doesn\u2019t really give a reason but says her mother is taking her to a film museum tomorrow.<\/p>\n<p>As Sakura tells Tomoyo about the man down the street, Tomoyo kinda frowns and doesn\u2019t respond. Sakura asks her what\u2019s wrong, and she says it\u2019s nothing before prompting her to continue. In the dub, she talks about how great the house is and how great her grandpa is and the pause doesn\u2019t appear because Sakura keeps talking through the expression change. Then Madison asks if he lives in that big house all alone.<\/p>\n<p>Sakura tells Tomoyo that she\u2019s going to his house again tomorrow, and Tomoyo says that\u2019s great. In the dub, Sakura keeps going on about the house, and Madison says they should move there when they retire. Then Sakura suggests that they live in houses next to each other.<\/p>\n<p>Tomoyo looks forward to Sakura\u2019s return before they say their goodbyes. In the dub, Sakura contradicts her earlier statement by responding to Madison asking how long she\u2019ll be out there by saying a couple of days, the actual original length, rather than a week, which is what the dub mentioned earlier.<\/p>\n<p><u><b>Entire Episode Edit:<\/b><\/u><b> <\/b>Any time you hear them discussing the old man in the original, replace it with mentions of grandpa. It will make my job easier.<\/p>\n<p>Now she\u2019s being invited into his house\u2026.into a bedroom\u2026filled with dolls. What the shit? There is no way I\u2019m taking the \u201cbeing paranoid and cynical\u201d fall here \u2013 that is fucked up without telling her that\u2019s her grandpa. Did Fujitaka never teach Sakura even a sliver a stranger danger? This is basically the headline of a true crime story under a different context.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/images2.imgbox.com\/d7\/7b\/2elNkkBT_o.png\"\/><\/p>\n<p>In the dub, since Sakura\u2019s aware that this is her grandfather, she\u2019s also well aware that this room used to be her mother\u2019s and they talk about her. In the original, she\u2019s unaware and they drop hints here and there about who it was \u2013 saying she passed away several years ago and showing his silhouette in front of her picture earlier.<\/p>\n<p>After the shot of the old man smiling on the couch, he gets up and we get a rather long shot of the empty couch. He sees Sakura is sad about his granddaughter so he goes to comfort her and tells her to smile. He asks her name\u2026.Wait, you had tea yesterday and didn\u2019t even bother getting each other\u2019s names? I feel like the Japanese version of this episode is poorly written for the sake of a \u2018big surprising reveal.\u2019 Anyway, she introduces herself, and he seems to recognize her last name. He then asks if he can call her Sakura-chan. She agrees, and he says she can spend all day playing there if she doesn\u2019t mind.<\/p>\n<p>For real? Come on. Does he drive a white windowless van? Does he keep his candy in the basement? The longer you prolong this grandpa reveal, the more uncomfortable I\u2019ll get.<\/p>\n<p>Anyway, again, she agrees, and all of this is cut. They could\u2019ve easily had Sakura sad about talking about her mom and him cheering her up and asking if she wants to play some of her mother\u2019s favorite games outside.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/images2.imgbox.com\/ce\/f5\/Ms1ZGMHe_o.png\"\/><\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/images2.imgbox.com\/d8\/0b\/DXqL9eaW_o.png\"\/><\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/images2.imgbox.com\/6f\/58\/rBiNIn2u_o.png\"\/><\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/images2.imgbox.com\/1d\/c6\/Qy3QHGK8_o.png\"\/><\/p>\n<p>I understand that the photo-shutter effect is quite common in anime, but that combined with the aforementioned creeper stuff just seemingly makes the original creepier. Also, <i>she changed her clothes at his house.<\/i> I can\u2019t get off this track, guys. I can\u2019t.<\/p>\n<p>As Sakura looks at her glass, she wonders who is preparing the tea. Then she wonders if someone else is at the house. In the dub, Sakura hopes Kero\u2019s not raiding the fridge at home.<\/p>\n<p>The man says that Sakura being there reminds him of his granddaughter. In the dub, he says Sakura\u2019s mom was really good at tennis too. Sakura then asks if she was in any tournaments, and he says no.<\/p>\n<p>The old man asks what kind of person Sakura\u2019s father is and she goes on about him. In the dub, since the grandpa thing is out in the open, he just asks how her father is and she basically goes on about the same stuff.<\/p>\n<p>Also, I suppose the original\u2019s weird writing explains why Toya and Fujitaka aren\u2019t visiting their grandpa\/father-in-law. I\u2019d imagine relations with him might be rocky or awkward, like they were with Nadeshiko\u2019s cousin, Sonomi. Although, that\u2019s moreso for Fujitaka. There\u2019s not much of a reason he\u2019s not spending time with Toya\u2026.<\/p>\n<p>We cut back to the house where Toya is reading under a tree and Yukito is above him in a hammock. Toya looks around, and Yukito asks if he\u2019s worried about Sakura to which Toya just scowls. We\u2019re then shown Fujitaka as he types on his computer. This is removed.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/images2.imgbox.com\/e2\/b7\/PFVgrwOE_o.png\"\/><\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/images2.imgbox.com\/6c\/6f\/FU281Ibl_o.png\"\/><\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/images2.imgbox.com\/ad\/ef\/YyQbRpvI_o.png\"\/><\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/images2.imgbox.com\/34\/e3\/MpAbB6eY_o.png\"\/><\/p>\n<p>Now he\u2019s dressing her up in Nadeshiko\u2019s clothes<i>.<\/i> Come to think of it, that tennis outfit must\u2019ve been hers too. Again, looking at it from a \u2018we have no clue who this guy is\u2019 standpoint, not only does she continue undressing and dressing in this guy\u2019s house, but he\u2019s also dressing her up in his dead \u2018unknown daughter\u2019s\u2019 clothes.<\/p>\n<p><i>Now he\u2019s grabbing her shoulders from behind, getting up close to her face, and telling her she looks a lot like his granddaughter. <\/i>Look, I don\u2019t care if we know who this guy is either from hints or watching the dubbed version \u2013 Sakura run away NOW! We\u2019re getting dangerously close to being the cold open to an episode of <i>Criminal Minds!<\/i><\/p>\n<p>They cut out a shot of a Sonomi\u2019s feet from outside of the room.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/images2.imgbox.com\/9a\/39\/1mKWoIFP_o.png\"\/><\/p>\n<p>So now she\u2019s had tea with him and spent the whole day with him and she still hasn\u2019t learned his name? Not only is that dangerous and bad writing, but it\u2019s also bad manners.<\/p>\n<p>Well, for all the praising I\u2019ve done for Nelvana today, let\u2019s bitch about them. They completely ruined a nice emotional moment. Sakura tells the old man to not be sad about his granddaughter since she believes she\u2019s probably in a place with a beautiful sky just like her mother. Her brother told her that she went there because she was happy marrying their dad. His granddaughter was probably very happy being with him, so she\u2019s likely in a similar place. He starts to get teary eyed in response.<\/p>\n<p>In the dub, Sakura just reminds him to be on the balcony as they leave and says they miss him, which I guess is why he wells up. Being fair, original!Sakura does remind him about the balcony too, but only as an afterthought. The dub completely drains this scene of any emotion for absolutely no reason. Granted, half the dialogue would need to go anyway since she knows he\u2019s her grandpa here, but you can still keep the other half.<\/p>\n<p>Okay, so I was concerned that I was dealing with a translation error since Grandpa kept referring to Nadeshiko as his granddaughter while we\u2019re also told this guy is Sakura\u2019s grandfather, but apparently it\u2019s not an error. This guy really is Nadeshiko\u2019s <i>grand<\/i>father, making him Sakura\u2019s great-grandfather, even though he\u2019s never referred to as such. No way is he that old. I know Nadeshiko was a young mother, but come on. He barely has a wrinkle or a gray hair.<\/p>\n<p>The dub makes it clear that he is her grandpa and that Natasha was his daughter.<\/p>\n<p>In the original, Sonomi emerges after the rainbow is created and Grandpa apologizes to her for causing her trouble. She was the one making the tea, and she stayed hidden the entire time Sakura was around. She commends him for his ability to spend all of that time with Sakura without revealing who he is (I agree, but that\u2019s less skill and more derp!Sakura. Though he could\u2019ve made up a name if he asked. She didn\u2019t even ask the name of his granddaughter.) He goes on to say that it seems like Fujitaka is a good man, and Sonomi, having mended some bridges after their last encounter, agrees.<\/p>\n<p>He says it seems like Sakura wanted him to see the rainbow. Then Sonomi asks how she knew one would occur right there. All of this is removed, and I don\u2019t know why. Maybe they couldn\u2019t give a legit dub reason for Sonomi being there. Also, cutting this part means cutting the scene right as we see him lean over the railing in grief over Nadeshiko instead of being more uplifting.<\/p>\n<p>Sakura asks if Kero thinks he could see the rainbow. Then Kero points out that there\u2019s someone else on the balcony with him. Sakura doesn\u2019t question this further and runs back to the house. In the dub, Sakura asks Kero if he thinks Grandpa liked the rainbow, and Kero says he definitely did while we\u2019re still on the far shot of his house, meaning we see him with another person but no one\u2019s going to bother surmising as to who it might be.<\/p>\n<p>Toya asks who the elderly man down the street is\u2026.so I guess he was unaware of his great-grandpa being there but never said anything about this odd situation. Which means\u2026.he\u2019s a terrible brother. Remember, he was the one who initially suggested that she go to that house, and he never said a word against letting her see him and spend all of that time with him. Since it\u2019s now revealed that Fujitaka knew who he was, Toya\u2019s the one who comes out of this looking insanely irresponsible. One shot of Toya seeming kinda worried does not make up for it.<\/p>\n<p>Also, does Toya not recognize his grandfather? Did he never meet him? Does Toya not remember him?<\/p>\n<p>Fujitaka explains that a little girl and her grandfather used to spend their summers there to avoid city life. In the dub, Tori says Sakura\u2019s always late, and Aiden says she and her grandfather had a lot of catching up to do.<\/p>\n<p><b>Leave it to Kero-<\/b><b>Chan!<\/b><b>\/Kero\u2019s Corner: <\/b>The Key of Seal is changed to the Key of the Clow.<\/p>\n<p>They omit saying that Sakura wields it very well because she practices using a baton for school and that you can fly on it with Fly.<\/p>\n<p>They remove Kero\u2019s closeup.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/images2.imgbox.com\/eb\/f8\/JiR9LwRa_o.png\"\/><\/p>\n<p>They mentioned saying that the key stays in a convenient necklace form most of the time at the start of the dubbed version. When they say it in the original, they replace it with saying Clow Reed specially designed the staff and key so that only people with magic powers can use it.<\/p>\n<p>In the original, Kero talks about how lucky we were to get a rare insight into one of the magical items of the Clow. In the dub, Kero kinda-ish spoils a later plot point by saying the book didn\u2019t end up in Sakura\u2019s basement by accident and that Sakura was meant to be a Cardcaptor. Then he contradicts himself by saying he chose her. It\u2019s either destiny or a self-fulfilling prophecy \u2013 you can\u2019t have both Kero.<\/p>\n<p>\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014-<\/p>\n<p>If you can put two and two together from the very first hint in the original, it\u2019s not as creepy as it seems, but if you don\u2019t get it right off the bat and look into it even a little, this seems like such a terribly written way of getting Sakura and her grandfather together. Even minor details like learning each others\u2019 names or the name of the deceased granddaughter were written to be glossed over so the secret could stay a secret. You don\u2019t spend several hours to over a day with someone, have tea, eat, <i>change your clothes <\/i><i>numerous times<\/i><i>, <\/i><i><b>change into clothes that belonged to a deceased relative of the person you\u2019re talking to<\/b><\/i><i>, <\/i>etc. in someone else\u2019s house without ever thinking to ask that someone\u2019s name at the very least.<\/p>\n<p>Like I mentioned early on, it makes more sense and is made much less creepy knowing that Fujitaka knew that\u2019s where Masaki (grandpa\u2019s real name) lived and that Masaki eventually realized who Sakura was, but Sakura never found out. She was just playing dress up with a strange nameless man all day, in his dead granddaughter\u2019s bedroom, who also fed her tea and sweets that came from an unknown source with someone else in the house who won\u2019t reveal themselves. Just look at that plot synopsis. I tried really hard to write a non-spoilery plot synopsis without it coming off as creepy, but I couldn\u2019t.<\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s also kinda weird that Sakura clearly spent way more time with this random old man than she did with her family on their vacation.<\/p>\n<p>One of the commenters on the episode made a good point too \u2013 Nadeshiko wrote her name on that rainbow painting. If Sakura had just walked closer to it and read it, this whole thing could\u2019ve been subtly resolved on both sides.<\/p>\n<p>Why not have her dad tell her about her grandfather and leave it to her to be an unknowing olive branch? Let her decide if she wants to visit, which she obviously would. Have their first interactions be a bit awkward because Masaki, as we later learn, chose to stay away from Fujitaka and the kids after Nadeshiko died. Fujitaka didn\u2019t make attempts to communicate with him because he felt unwelcome and perhaps like Masaki kinda blamed him in some way like Sonomi did. Masaki was against their marriage, and that coupled with the severed communications can easily make it seem that way.<\/p>\n<p>That\u2019s the way it ended up either way \u2013 with Masaki realizing that Fujitaka seems like a good guy. He doesn\u2019t seem like he\u2019d rush out to have a beer with him anytime soon, but he obviously realized that he\u2019s a good father and was a good husband to Nadeshiko.<\/p>\n<p>Outside of that, and aware of who he is, this is a pretty touching episode. I actually wish they had gone more of the way of her knowing who he is from the start because not only would it make the episode less creepy, but it also would\u2019ve made for many more legit heart-to-heart moments.<\/p>\n<p>I don\u2019t mind that this episode had nothing to do with the Clow cards outside of using Rain to make a rainbow, but I will say Yukito\u2019s role was utterly pointless here.<\/p>\n<p>Despite the long pointless cuts and destroying a good emotional scene at the end, this is one of those rare moments where the dub might actually be somewhat better than the original. It fixes the creepiness problem and focuses more on Nade\u2014Natasha. Though it really only barely sniffs in the direction of the rocky relationship Grandpa has with Aiden.<\/p>\n<p>None of the dialogue edits are made out to be annoying, for the most part, there are only a few instances of bad acting, and any negative safety connotations of the original are not present in the dub. I guess you have to weigh the emotional impact of the original over the better written overall plot of the dub.<\/p>\n<p><b>Next episode, Sakura is at a summer camp and starts getting scared of the things that go bump in the night.<\/b><\/p>\n<p><em><a href=\"https:\/\/fiddletwix.wordpress.com\/2024\/03\/08\/cardcaptor-sakura-cardcaptors-episode-15-sakura-and-keros-big-fight-sub-dub-comparison\/\">\u2026\u2026Previous Episode<\/a><\/em><\/p>\n<hr\/>\n<p>If you enjoy my work and would like to help support my blog, please consider donating at my Ko-Fi page.
