History Fridge / CardCaptorSakura

* When Yue first appears and speaks to Kero shortly before the last Judgement, he says that Kero is "still" soft with those he Selects. '''Still'''. There have been other candidates. And every single one of them failed the Last Judgement, since Yue says in the very next episode "Only Clow Reed can defeat me". Considering what happens when people fail the Final Judgement, how many people have lost their most precious feelings since Clow died, because Yue refuses to accept a master than isn't Clow?

* notreallyatroper: I just realized that all of the cards in Manga/CardcaptorSakura that have humanoid forms have their eyes closed in card form because that’s when they’re in “deactivated” mode, or sleep mode, or whatever. Also, the reason the Sakura Cards are generally less detailed than the Clow Cards is that Sakura was creating them on the spot, with just the basic design from what she remembered. Clow, on the other hand, probably created the Clow Cards at his own leisure, taking his time to design the cards in detail.

** How on earth did they get that past the censors?
** PlotHole. Perhaps the idea of bringing in grandparents was considered early on, but went out the door at some point. But they didn't realize the UnfortunateImplications.
*** Or rather, people were supposed to watch the episodes in order and not remember it well enough to think about it to that extent once they got to the point where those details concerning Yukito's life were revealed. And besides, Yue is a magical being just like Cerberus; even if Yukito doesn't have to listen to his orders all the time, what occurred could be compared to a butler changing the clothes of a girl he was meant to take care of, something that generally doesn't raise those UnfortunateImplications.
*** Not to mention that Yukito is ''gay'' and Sakura is a just a little ''girl'', so there shouldn't be any awkwardness anyway.

** The manga actually explains this. While Yue is Clow-based Moon magic, Kaho uses Moon magic from a different source altogether that allows her to often defeat or negate Clow magic (i.e. Maze). Furthermore, her bell was ultimately the key to the undoing of the Clow-associated Yue. As Syaoran was a direct descendant of Clow, it was natural that he would be drawn to dislike someone who uses anti-Clow magic with the ability to (help) defeat a Clow guardian.

** There are multiple reasons for this. It is implied that since Clow Reed died the cards run on a stockpile of Clow's magic that is ever dwindling, and being inactive/sealed would naturally conserve energy efficiently. Further, without a master and being unsealed several of the cards went onto cause quite a bit of mayhem on their own accord (Erase, Sand, Freeze, Firey, Watery and Earthy being some big candidates), showing that being sealed is something of a necessity. Finally, when Sakura converted the Clow cards into Sakura cards several scenes had them float about her without being unsealed, showing that (at least with an active energy source) they're far from being unable to act.

[[AC: Fridge Logic]]
* In Episode 48, Tomoyo, Kero and Yue are trapped in vortices of water, which she defeats with Firey. She does this by evaporating the water. So she heats the water beyond ''boiling point'', and the people in the water are [[FridgeLogic somehow unharmed]]...
** And when she used Firey to melt the snow from the snow card it could have burned the city down. It's magic and it does what it's told.
*** The card that controls fire also can control heat, preventing the steam released from the boiling water from scalding the people trapped within. That's either [[RequiredSecondaryPowers required secondary powers]] or a card that flat out controls heat energy.
* Syaoran has a crush on Yukito, which is explained away by Yue as simply being attracted to the latter's moon energy. OK...but then you remember that ''Kaho'' is also a manipulator/possessor of moon energy, and far from having a crush on ''her'', he's ''terrified'' and suspicious of her.

* In the dubbed version of the OVA, it's revealed that Clow Reed sealed his ex-girlfriend in an alternate dimension as a punishment...and left her there, where she died. (She had no food, or anything, except water.) It's not known when or even ''if'' he ever intended to let her out.
