#20 - Transfer Student vs. Sakura

A new character is introduced this time, the terror that is Li Meilin. Well, a terror this episode to Shaoran and Sakura this time ;) She's a relative of Shaoran's... and his fiancee. So she's not too happy to see other girls around and is determined not to lose to Sakura in any way (see screencaps). The first thought I had when I first watched CCS and saw her in episode 19 saying "Nihao!" was of Shampoo from Ranma 1/2.

The clow card this time is FIGHT, who's been beating up on Judo and Karate experts in Penguin Park. Meilin shows up to fight it with her pretty good moves, but it isn't quite enough, and she gets a scolding from Shaoran for running off by herself. Sakura figures out how to defeat FIGHT using the POWER card and seals it away. Meilin ain't happy that she lost this time ;)

Meilin is a character made just for the anime. Suppose they wanted to liven up the competition a bit ;) She's not in the manga at all so it's a big change, but I think that it works out pretty well in the end.
