| THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE. ---------------------------------------- Welp, Croix definitley has something sinister planned. I don't think Akko is even slightly aware of it. It's too bad Croix takes advantage of Akko as she is clueless. Urusla's entry to save Akko is badass. Really glad to see her taking the risk and going in there by herself while showing some impressive skills. Urusla also proves herself that she still has a lot of talent from her Chariot days. (not sure if she is stronger or not in the present timeline though) Pretty tense episode. |
 |
| Seems the bond between the two teachers is complicated. And it's clear who the target is of the new teacher. It also seems that Diana is on to something and i won't be surprised if she is able to find out Shario's true identity. Anyway things are getting interesting. |
| OMG I'm teary T___T Akko and Ursula are my all time favorite characters.. and this episode was just so damn beautiful.. bye, i'm going to sit in a corner and cry |
| Well this ep wasnt as good but at least we got some time with the ultimate girl Chariot. |
| Is the subbed episode out yet? If so, where my friends? |
| I haven't updated in years but now I have changed that. I'll be free soon. |
| This second half is killing it, I'm really liking this a lot more than the first half As my last post said Croix was looking to see how powerful was Chariot and she did, also I said that Diana might help "defeat" Croix, she seems worried about this new technologies and she doesn't trust her, because of this distrust she wants to know about the past of the new teacher, how was her and what were her goals. I'm repeating this again, in the opening it is made clear that although Akko and Diana are rivals they will end up working together probably to stop this change that Croix is looking in magic, and also I will say that maybe Diana, Akko, Croix, and Ursula might fight together to defeat some greater evil (I think this would be really interesting to watch because of the similar situations these girls had). LWA is really interesting and I expect a lot from the next few episodes, this is one of the few anime that actually keep my attention and makes me want to think what is going to happen next. A lot of people criticize the series for its first episode and I agree they're too slow, but they need to be like this for the viewer to be interested in the characters and in their futures. Hoping that they keep the excellent work that they have been doing. |

| Chariot was awesome fighting all those minions! Prof Ursula finally had a serious talk with Akko with regards to the words that she needs to discover...but still Akko is still slow on noticing that she's none other than the Shiny Chariot! 5/5. |
 |
 HMM I REALLY WONDER WHAT KEPT THE SUBS SO LONG THIS TIME |

| Croix is definitely plotting something sinister. Akko wasn't aware what happened when she awoke. It sucks she was taken advantage. Urusla's entry to save Akko was very cool. She still got it. |
 |
| The subs on that one particular scene was pretty clever. xD Ursula-sensei was really awesome using her magic powers to dodge the hazards and save Akko. The second half of this episode was just so damn beautiful along with the BGM. Akko learns the secrets about the seven magic words and the only thing missing is for her to learn the true identity of Chariot, who is already standing in front of her. :) The bond shared between these two characters was heartwarming and very captivating. |
| What a beautiful bonding episode between Akko and her favorite sensei. And seeing Ursula with her long red hair... I'm in love <3 |
HESTIA   APPROVES |
| the fight scenes <3 |
| I absolutely adore this series. This reveal is really beautiful. |
| Ursula going full Chariot mode and cleaning house was awesome! According to Croix, Chariot is a barely a shadow to her old self. Jeez, I wonder how strong she was 10 years ago. After that display of magic and strength from Chariot, Croix was still not impressed. This more than likely means that even Chariot isn't a threat to her anymore. I'm really interested in their history as well. Things are getting very interesting and I am stoked for the next episode. I wonder how Croix and Ursula will coexist in the same school. At the same time, Diana is doing her own thing and is looking into Ursula. Now Akko is on the hunt for the remaining words. 5/5- Great episode. I hope we get a Croix vs Chariot battle at some point. |

| Goodness I'm not sure what this show is doing. As much complaining as there was for the episodic episodes (and I was one of them (Although more for the quality rather than the fact that it was episodic)) this seems to be even worse. I don't get the reason behind this whole 7 words plot. Why do they have the revive the 7 words? Why does it react to the 7 words? Why those words? How in the world did Akko even know some of the words in the first place? It's such a vague and weird plot that it feels like it's shoved in there for the purpose of having a plot. And then there's Croix. It's so clear from when she came in that's supposed to be evil. Because technology is evil right? Well no but that does seem to be an annoyingly common trope. But the new professor does always have to be evil. And she's Chariots old rival. Just like Diana and Akko! Where have I seen that before? (Oh right a bunch of shows like to make parrells like this.) And then suddenly Chariot is a super spy type of badass who can infiltrate a hideout? I thought this was a magic show, not a spy show? Idk whatever you'd call it. It's not necessarily bad but it does feel a bit out of place at least to me. I'm getting frustrated with this show. It has wonderful visuals, art, and animation but the characters are flat as cardboard and the introduced plot is shallow, forced, and derivative. While the show can be charming and interesting at times, it also is equally frustrating to see the weak basis that this show is mired in. sighs Oh well. |
| Nice episode. Modern Technology is something alright. DAMN Ursula is awesome. Finally get to see her as Chariot. She is really beautiful. Taking out those stone statues was cool. Interesting info on the Grand Triskelion. 4 more words to go. |
"I’ve set myself to become the King of the Pirates…and if I die trying…then at least I tried!" Monkey D. Luffy (One Piece) |
| Whoops, Ursula almost spill it when Diana ask about her acquaintance with Croix. Now Akko's finally received a "Task" to recover the remain four Words. and to reveal the Identity of Ursula? Meh, that can wait later. xD |

| Ursula/Chariot is badass and Croix said she is so weak now too huh? i wonder how strong Ursula/Chariot was 10 years ago and my biggest question about the Words have been explained by this episode, i keep wondering in the past on why Ursula/Chariot mentioned the exact Words for Akko to say, but according to this episode simply reciting the Words will not revived them so Akko is the chosen one to revive those Words |
| So basically Croix and Chariot were the former versions of Diana and Akko. Croix being the prodigy and looking down on Chariot, but then being awestruck and blinded by her passion and personality. Main difference between Diana and Croix, is that the former is just a snobby bitch who favors tradition and aristocracy (speaking of which, I LOVED that scene in the previous episode where Akko calls out Diana for being aa snobby aristocrat who doesn't give a shit about normal people and how Diana got genuinely distraught at hearing the truth) , and Croix was the silent prodigy who turned out to be super greedy (and now evil). I assume rather than using the reconstruction magic to just make the world have more replenished magic, she has a sinister ulterior motive to shape the world around her and according to her type of magic. Chariot was super badass as well. Looked sick af when she took off her glasses to keep fighting. First time seeing her outfit under the robe too, it looks good on her. AND WHEN IS SHE EVER GOING TO FUCKING REVEAL THE TRUTH TO AKKO! GODDAMN GIVE ME THAT SCENE ALREADY!!!! |
| LWA is really going up and about again. Fantastic episode really |
  |
| This was stunning visually wise. Croix still looks beautiful as always. We finally get to see Chariot in action Fircoal said: I don't get the reason behind this whole 7 words plot. Why do they have the revive the 7 words? Why does it react to the 7 words? Why those words? How in the world did Akko even know some of the words in the first place? It's such a vague and weird plot that it feels like it's shoved in there for the purpose of having a plot. Have you even followed the episode |
| I never picked up on it until now, but Trigger really has a thing for acrobatic-action-redheads On a more serious note that was an amazing episode. The animation was top-notch as always and I'm getting more and more curious about Croix. Here's my mini-theory: Croix wants control of the Shiny Rod in order to bring Yggdrasil back to life and usher in a new age of magic, preferably with her in a ruling position but grew jealous when the rod chose Chariot instead of her. By the end of the series, even if they do revive all the words, I don't think Ygdrasil will come back. It'd be funny if the Nine Ol'e Witches were playing a prank and the Shiny Rod is just a really elaborate dud. Speaking of funny, isn't it kind of hilarious that Akko has been in close proximity to Chariot for over half the school year and has no idea that it's her, whereas Diana can find out her identity in 10 minutes just by cracking open a yearbook. |
| I absolutely refuse to believe that this and the first half of this show were written by the same person. It's starting to look genuinely good. |

| This time Ursula's performance was amazing, I didn't expect this anime to have tha t kind of fighting scenes |
| Karasuno Fight!!! |

While the show can be charming and interesting at times, it also is equally frustrating to see the weak basis that this show is mired in. sighs Oh well. Did you even watch the series? wtf Akko knew the first 3 words thanks to Ursula. When Ursula was giving advice to Akko on life lessons she mentioned those words in order to explain to Akko important things in life. And Akko remembered those, and happened to use them in the right time on the right place. If you watched the series, you would know. And they just literally explained in this episode why Akko has to find seven words. Since all the 7 words are something only a pure heart could acchive, I guess those words are some kind of a security thing, so not everyone could use the great power of Shiny Rod. Triskellion is a very powerful skill, it could either destroy or save the world depending on the wielder. That's why someone who wants to use it needs to revive the 7 words as some kind of a test, to see if they are worth using the greatest power. And when a person passes the test by reviving all 7 words, they get the ability to change the world. I don't know if you are trolling everyone here, or you're just dumb? Because if you had watched the show, you wouldn't ask such stupid questions, when everything is literally explained. |
| wow, Chariot has some serious ninja skills, all running on the walls and doing awesome flips and whatnot. |

Fircoal said: Magic is dying. Revive the 7 words could unlock the sealed world-reconstruction-magic / Grand Triskelion that possibly bring new era of magic. "Why those words?" Well what's wrong with some sealed magic could be unlocked with some words/spell? Those words is actually written by the sealer, Nine Old Witches themselves, but none could read/activate them, until now.I don't get the reason behind this whole 7 words plot. Why do they have the revive the 7 words? Why does it react to the 7 words? Why those words? How in the world did Akko even know some of the words in the first place? It's such a vague and weird plot that it feels like it's shoved in there for the purpose of having a plot. Reason why does the 7 words react to Akko (or Chariot back then), thats what Croix wants to know too in the first place. But yeah its gotta be the spiritual things, like Croix said, the Shiny Rod is reacts to high levels of spirit energy. Gotta be person with pure heart or something. But its still vague imo, so I think, so far, the exact reason is unknown/will be revealed later. TheGreatMizuti said: If I were Akko, at most, I would be suspicious but thinking Ursula is Chariot is too ... far? Akko has never seen the red-haired Ursula anyway (the most obvious clue Ursula=Chariot we got as viewer). And I dont think Diana knows it yet. Ursula is not listed in yearbook doesnt automatically prove that she is Chariot, just means that Ursula is suspicious lol. Diana also doesnt know that who tells various things about Shiny Rod to Akko is Ursula.Speaking of funny, isn't it kind of hilarious that Akko has been in close proximity to Chariot for over half the school year and has no idea that it's her, whereas Diana can find out her identity in 10 minutes just by cracking open a yearbook. Different story if Diana checked all the student who attended school together with Croix at the same time (be it classmates, juniors or seniors) and searched out how they're doing in the present. If the only missing person is Chariot, then it possible to suspect Ursula=Chariot, but thats need a lot of time. |

| that was a great episode |
| I was worried about what Croix was doing to Akko once she was able to gain access to her memories. Thankfully, she didn't do anything serious to her and Ursula also timed her arrival right too when she was caught by Croix's systems. Speaking of which, Ursula's assault on the New Moon Tower was wonderful to watch. The animation was flowing beautifully and Ursula was tapping into her Chariot-like form just so she wouldn't get stopped. It looked really awesome. =) Eventually, Ursula finally spoke to Akko about how the magic used to be connected around the world, thus giving witches infinite power that they wanted. It's now a lot weaker than it was during those days, but Akko only has four spell words left to uncover. Ursula herself knows three of those words, but not the last one. Honestly, I did think that Ursula would finally reveal to Akko that she is Chariot, but sadly, that didn't happen. I'm sure when the timing is right again, Ursula will tell Akko about her past at last. Once again, the visual animation during the important between Akko and Ursula was really nice to see. =) |
| Fantastic animation when Chariot fought the monsters and that little sequence with the leylines. Great episode, no magic fight yet. Good decision, they keep that for later. Akko now has the determination, that was awesome. |
| Croix being evil looks like a red herring, anyways, one of the best episodes so far if only for the Chariot's fight scene |
| A really nice important step in the main story. I was expecting a more somber tone during the episode, however the story has proved fairly close to so far seen canons. There is not only Akko during the episode, but Diana, proves to be much more interesting than it was before, and guess that the situation of not well clarified inconsistencies. Really interesting the part about the mystery that surrounds the main story. Beginning to worship the ending, a bit less than the opening. |

And it's more so the opposite. If Ursula IS listed in the yearbook, it would be proof that she's Chariot because Diana could easily recognise the younger version of her childhood idol coupled with Ursula's name (this is assuming Ursula is her real name and not another alias). If Diana makes that connection then she'll also know that Ursula is the most likely person to be giving Akko info on the Shiny Rod because Chariot is the most heavily associated with it |
| -Wait do the teachers know about Ursula -yeah this won't end well -huh, seems like croix instantly recognized chariot -is this the ringed city -those drones had awful aim Hoo man, nothing new happened this episode other than Chariot returning to form and beating down some gargoyles. I guess they also explained the seven Words to Akko, as well as explicitly state that Chariot and Croix attended the school together, but these things are hardly something to dedicate a whole episode to. Even then, Chariot's fight against the magical summons weren't too impressive because it progressed really slowly. The important magical stuff in previous episodes always had a ton of movement, but the tower climbing scene seemed to have a bunch of empty shots. It really does feel like a recap episode, especially with all the flashbacks, which is pretty disappointing. |
 |
| I am very happy that I decided to stick with this anime as I wasn't so sure after watching the first episode that I would enjoy it. But then I read comments on here and I gave it another week and I was hooked. One anime that I look forward to every week. Chariot's battle in the New Moon Tower was very fun to watch and even if Chariot isn't as strong as she was ten years ago, she looks pretty strong to me. Maybe she's holding some power back too. Another great episode. |

Basically it's spell protection, that makes a lot more sense than whatever I was thinking of beforehand. It probably reacts to Akko because of her energy and positivity. As said the shiny rod works with emotions, and as we have seen Akko is very emotional. Thank you to the people who tried to help with my confusion. I have been watching the show. Obviously I would try to type out a whole bunch of words for a show I haven't watched. I don't even hate the show, I just am disappointed with some facts about it. |

But the new professor does always have to be evil. And she's Chariots old rival. Just like Diana and Akko! Where have I seen that before? (Oh right a bunch of shows like to make parrells like this.) And then suddenly Chariot is a super spy type of badass who can infiltrate a hideout? I thought this was a magic show, not a spy show? Idk whatever you'd call it. It's not necessarily bad but it does feel a bit out of place at least to me. You seem to think "anime" in a very wrong way , my fellow member. Firstly no one ever say that technology is evil. Which the same goes to Croix, Im not sure how you can be so clear she is supposed to be evil before this episode. Saying this is common trope or saying bunch of shows like to make parrells like this, I hope you can enlighten me how many or what show look similiar. Even if there are, you make it sound like every anime in the world look the same, you are bored with it. Akko & Diana only a tiny bit like Diana & Croix. 1stly op literally explain it all, Diana & Croix goes side way and Akko & Diana did go side way but linking hand instead. Diana only think less of being competitive, she has real noble chivalry and always at her best. Not only that Diana is not arrogant, she actually think Akko's team has a shot in winning the moonlit witch by breaking Baharowa sad curse few episodes back. Most importantly, Diana is not evil. Diana doesn't like technology Croix bring, but Ako does. You think it in a wrong way during Chariot breaking in to the tower. She doesn't act like spy and not infiltrading, Chariot literally rushing in to save Akko. She is using magic, how else is she going to save Akko? Its literally magic fight.

| Absolutely amazing episode. Still a little frustrated we don't get the Chariot reveal to Akko yet but I guess that will make it all the more satisfying later. Really good episode that had really good action as well as a lot of information answering a lot of questions. The final scenes were really well done, really shows Akko's journey. This is right on the cusp of my favorite anime this year already and it still has so many episodes left! |
