Notes

add »
Japanese Title: Sakura and the Mysterious Magic Book (edit)
In the U.S. version of this episode, clips of the Sand Card was taken form "The Sands of Time" for the beginning and the end. (edit)
In the UK and Australia, this is the very first episode. It is not a flashback episode in those regions.

It is also not a flashback episode when aired in Canada on Teletoon - instead, it shows Sakura narrate how she became a cardcaptor. (edit)
Sakura's brother Tori, still has a japanese name, even though it was changed from Touya. Tori means "bird" in japanese. (edit)
The Australia version does not depict a flashback embedded in the Sand Card battle. It resembles the Japanese version instead. (edit)
