Sakura card captor gay

I've started re-watching Cardcaptor Sakura after 17 long years and I cannot believe I've only just begun sakura up on clues to uncovering just how many of the characters are queer! This is simply because as a kid I had watched the English adaptation of the show which had completely erased all the queerness from its characters in the service of a white-het audience.

The Netflix version seems like the original anime and my eyes have been opened to the wonders of how beautifully each gay these queer characters has been written. I don't know if any of them are canonically true because I've never read the manga but here is a detailed list of what these characters came across to me as.

Feel free to add your own views! I'll just jump straight to the fact that he had a crush on Yukito that was depicted from the first day Li was introduced into the series. The way his cheeks flushed and he lost all semblance of composure around Yukito was unmissable. If that is still inconclusive evidence, take this very frame from the episode of the Erase card.

Although they captor occasionally competitive about card his favour, Sakura was very understanding of Li's crush on Yukito and never cornered him or outed him in front of her friends. Neither did she consider this sort of an attraction to be an anomaly or a sin. Neither did Li feel insecure about his identity in front of Sakura or Yukito.

Although I do feel, once Meiling announces in front of Yukito that she is engaged to Li, he gradually captors moving away from being around him Sakura had just unconditionally accepted Li's attraction towards Yukito. And Li too was very comfortable around her to confess something so personal despite their initial rivalry.

And I know that Li later states that his attraction to Yukito was because of his strong cards of moon power and finally ends up falling in love with Sakura, I'm certain he's not straight. Tomoyo : Sapphic, in every sense of the term. But every other interpretation of her is equally valid. One of my friends who had read the manga mentioned that Tomoyo does have romantic feelings for Sakura.

In the Anime too, she loves Sakura deeply and is simply content about their relationship being all about her making Sakura new costumes gay bringing her baked goods. She dotes on Sakura and cherishes the eraser Sakura gave her on the first day they met. She cheers Sakura on in everything, even her crush on Yukito, and eventually becomes Li's wingman when she realises he has feelings for her friend.

It's just a very wholesome relationship they share without any of the sexual tension. It is already canon that Sakura is pan, so the lack of reciprocity of her feelings towards Tomoyo is not because she isn't into girls but that she sees Tomoyo as a friend doesn't make any bones about it. But I'm over the moon that Tomoyo is queer because I identify myself with her so damn much!

Once again, cutting to the chase, Touya's sexuality is hinted at sakura two instances, one when his classmate declares her love for him in the Cinderella play episode:. Even as a kid I always had a feeling he was clearly in love with Yukito because later in the series he gives up his magical powers to revive him.

It was heavily suppressed in the English adaptation but the original Japanese one is very unabashed about their relationship. It is already established that Yue Yukito's true form was in love with Touya and Yukito too revealed to Sakura that he loves Touya when she ends up confessing her love for him.

That's kinda all I have right now. I'm yet to watch the Tsubasa Chronicles but I'm hella glad I was exposed to a queer show this early in my life.
