Sakura and the Mysterious Brooch (さくらとふしぎなブローチ, Sakura to Fushigi na Brooch) is the 9th episode of the first series of Cardcaptor Sakura. The Cardcaptors title for this episode is "Double Edged Sword".

Summary

Sakura, whose cheerfulness has been a staple of her personality, is forlorn by Syaoran's confidence and obviously superior skill. Rika and Tomoyo take Sakura to a shop to try to cheer her up. The three each buy brooches and return to Sakura's house for tea and pudding. When Rika puts on her brooch, the Sword card takes control of her and attacks Sakura with a sword. Syaoran saves Sakura who refuses to attack Rika and stops him from attacking her as well. Using the Illusion card to distract Rika, Sakura is given the chance to capture the Sword card. The next day, Syaoran is dismayed when he sees Sakura offer a gift of chocolate to Yukito and quickly gives sweets of his own. Tomoyo has to explain to Sakura that Syaoran is "interested" in Yukito just like Sakura is.
