Synopsis

Create

Blaze appears in middle of the night, manifesting from Sakura's thoughts Aqua having the shape of a bird like The Fly and how fire is the opposite of water. Sakura tries to use Aqua against Blaze, but the new card ends up besting it. Then Syaoran discretely uses The Windy to restrain Blaze, allowing Sakura to secure it.

Sakura uses Blaze in Episode 22 to defend against the cloaked figure's glass attacks.

  • They resemble large birds.
  • The bodies are made of their own element.
  • They possess an ornament atop of their heads.
