Thoughts: Come to think of it, the Obedience is one of the HP unforgivable curses, which makes it all the more scarier.
Eron weakly protesting the fact that Syaoran didn't beat him up while Erika was torturing Sakura ended up being funnier than I thought it would be.
Eriol draining out Syaoran's power so he can't help Sakura against Erika's wrath is the most CCS-Eriol ploy that we've ever seen in NT.
While this isn't the first time Syaoran drains his power (we saw this when he converted the Werewolf), this is the first time Wish-chan delves into the nitty gritty of it through Eriol's explanation, which includes life supply. More foreshadowing.
After Syaoran brings Sakura home and Touya gives him a horrible time about it, Syaoran privately calls him a wicked, evil ogre. Usually this wouldn't be noteworthy but it negates the Ch 73 assumption of Syaoran believing that ogres are cute. Speaking of Touya, I always thought that NT takes his sister complex way too far, but it's amended in the next arc. When it comes to Touya, I think about the quote from Father of the Bride: "You worry about her meeting the wrong kind of guy who only wants one thing [...]. Then, you stop worrying about her meeting the wrong guy, and you worry about her meeting the right guy."
Sakura is incredibly brave to train with the Phantom. While Syaoran pushed the force away, Tomoyo and her father were the true victims and Sakura never experienced it herself.

Oh my gosh, scratch my last thought. Sakura was able to capture the Obedience because she used the Phantom on herself!!! I'm so shocked. It's like reading it for the first time. And I don't know whether to laugh or cry when Syaoran thinks that this was Sakura's craziest and most dangerous plan that she ever came up with.
Sakura plays with the idea of maybe forgetting about Syaoran after he left for Hong Kong the first time would have been better than having the pain. I can't believe the Memory was teased so soon.
When Nadeshiko says, "Maybe I should just have disappeared with that dark force—it wouldn’t have made a difference and would have been less painful than this" when Ryuuren was pushing her away, what Dark Force is she referring to? The Despair?
Oh look, another S&S hug that I completely forgot about because there was no corresponding fanart. The post-Phantom hug was especially delightful because Sakura was rubbing her face in Syaoran's sweater and then he murmured in her hair. Ahh, I love these two!!
Kudos to Syaoran for deducting that Tomoyo had feelings for Eriol. I wouldn't have been that observant.
Syaoran asking Sakura out on Sunday under the guise of it being her reward is so adorable.
I haven't referenced Clear Card for a while considering the anime is over but I love how Wish-chan predicted Yukito's closeness to children.
Ha! I thought I imagined that Moeko's nickname was Momo-chan but actually it was just Touya getting the name wrong. It was still pretty cool seeing it in black and white 14 years before Clear Card.
I've watched scary movies in theatres where people actually screamed and that just makes it more fun.
Has anyone noticed how Miho always had a preference for orange flavoured goodies? Whether it be candies or ice cream, Wish-chan jumps on the chance to use Kai's knowledge to her advantage.
I love the image of a stoned face Eron with the Poison in his hand. That would make a great fanart to commemorate the first time the Dark Ones succumbed to Sakura.
Syaoran finally asks Sakura where their relationship was going while they were on their sushi date. My heart leaped even though I remembered that Sakura chose to concentrate on fighting rather than on her personal life.
Fanart spotlight: What I love about the community over at the Facebook group is that we get to see artists emerge outside of deviantArt. I used to comb dA for anything NT related and encourage fans from there. Now anyone can contribute and Rigor is one of those fans. He posted a fanart of Sakura while she was under the Obedience! S&S hugs are always a treat so I'm glad that he chose this emotional moment. Sakura was so far gone but that didn't stop Syaoran from trying to get through with her.
