** Sakura is using the star wand for the first time when Windy works on Yue (he had no selled Woody earlier as Woody is a moon-aligned card under him), it's likely that, although it doesn't get transformed into a Sakura card until later, Windy was drawing its power from Sakura's star magic rather than Clow's moon magic, so Yue no longer had jurisdiction over it.

*** Don't you think you're overreacting a bit? There is no way to tell that the user above you hates the anime. They are just criticizing one minor aspect of the anime. I couldn't love this series more, but I agree that many anime-only cards are redundant. Those cards might be different in how they work, but they have very similar uses. The anime itself acknowledges Power and Fight are ridiculously similar. Watery makes it rain in the manga. Also there is no reason why Watery shouldn't be able to create bubbles, that's as if Windy would only be able to make wind tempests but not small breezes. The Wave is literally just a weaker Wattery! And why would Clow create Storm instead of just using those cards you mentioned when he wanted to create a storm? Actually, why would he create Twins when its ability is just a limited version of what Mirror can do? Why can't Time let its user go back in time as further as they want? It's like the power was split on two. Same with Voice and Song, they could be just one card. A lot of cards are very, VERY specific. Obviously because they were invented just for plot purposes (and that's why some of them are so rarely used after its capture), and yes, they made for very good episodes, but their powers are still pretty redundant. In-universe, a smaller number of cards (with not so restrict abilities) would make more sense, since in an emergency situation you would spend less time thinking which one is the most suitable, you might waste some precious time thinking if you should use Loop or Maze to trap someone, for example.

*** Perhaps that specific nature was the intent. Clow created the cards for very specific needs (The Twin is more useful for direct action like battle, while The Mirror is more a utility card. Wave is designed specifically for tasks that require manipulating water already present rather than creating it.

As to Power and Fight, it's two different focuses. Power is simply raw strength, for things like lifting or moving objects, while Fight is martial prowess

* Why do we have "Yue," which means moon, "Ruby ''Moon,''" "Spinel ''Sun,''" and [[TheLastOfTheseIsNotLikeTheOthers "Kerberos"]]?Kerberos name doesn't go with the ThemeNaming of the other Clow guardians. They all mention the sun or moon in some way, whereas Kerberos is randomly named after a ''three headed dog that guards the underworld'' in Greek myth.

*** Don't you think you're overreacting a bit? There is no way to tell that the user above you hates the anime. They are just criticizing one minor aspect of the anime. I couldn't love this series more, but I agree that many anime-only cards are redundant. Those cards might be different in how they work, but they have very similar uses. The anime itself acknowledges Power and Fight are ridiculously similar. Watery makes it rain in the manga. Also there is no reason why Watery shouldn't be able to create bubbles, that's as if Windy would only be able to make wind tempests but not small breezes. And why would Clow create Storm instead of just using those cards you mentioned when he wanted to create a storm? Actually, why would he create Twins when its ability is just a limited version of what Mirror can do? Why can't Time let its user go back in time as further as they want? It's like the power was split on two. Same with Voice and Song, they could be just one card. A lot of cards are very, VERY specific. Obviously because they were invented just for plot purposes (and that's why some of them are so rarely used after its capture), and yes, they made for very good episodes, but their powers are still pretty redundant. In-universe, a smaller number of cards (with not so restrict abilities) would make more sense, since in an emergency situation you would spend less time thinking which one is the most suitable, you might waste some precious time thinking if you should use Loop or Maze to trap someone, for example.

** As far as I know, the Nelvana dub was only broadcasted in North America. TV Tropes is edited by people from all over the world. Do you Americans expect everyone to memorize the names invented on your country?!
