Running Out of Time

Episode Number: 53    Season Num: 3    First Aired: Saturday August 11, 2001    Prod Code: n/a
When Sakura notices that the Clow Cards are beginning to lose their magic, Kero tells her that she only has a limited amount of time in which to transform all the cards before their spirits break free and cause havoc. In an attempt to stop this from happening, Sakura tries to transform a number of the cards at once, but the Dash card panics and escapes. Sakura follows the Dash to school where she uses the Loop card to calm it down before sealing it as a Star Card. Contributor: Yami Bakura Fan

Trivia

add »
Response to Windy response: No, Kero specifically stated that she transformed The Windy before she actually transformed The Windy during the chase of The Dash.
This episode did air as second episode of the season. The video "Star Power" confirms the order of the episodes. (edit)
Response to Windy: At this point, Sakura had not yet transformed the Windy into a Sakura card. This episode is actually the third of the second season, not the second. If anything, Kero meant that she had seperated Windy from allying because she had the strongest bond with Windy, her first card. *Zenryo. (edit)
While Sakura transforms the cards in her room, one card that isn't shown is said to transform as The Cloud card. However, when the cards hover around her, The Cloud is not present, but the Libra is, even though it was not mentioned as one of the transformed. This conflicts later with the episode "Revelations Part 1", when she really transforms The Cloud. (edit)
Kero tells her she's already prevented the elements from allying and rebelling together by transforming The Windy. However, later in the episode, Sakura has to transform The Windy. (edit)
