You have been a most worthy adversary, but in every game, there are winners and there are losers. And as you know, in this game, losers get robotizicized!
at about 8:02 one of the old witch hats looks like something the Scarlet Witch would wear

I dunno, the justification is probably whatever she saw when she saw Akko leaving Luna Nova

Unrelatedly, those flashes of the future were pretty god drat ominous. Looks to me like Luna Nova is gonna get blown the gently caress up.

This makes sense, but I kind of wish they'd checked back in with her at the end of the episode, the script just kind of forgot about her as soon as she read the plot-relevant knowledge.

I get the impression that this is the sort of thing Diana does all the time.

It looks like they're setting it up for Akko and Diana to work together to overcome whatever is about to happen. She knows the shiny rod is necessary to complete that ritual. One of those visions looked like faerie creatures angrily protesting about something. So maybe there will be a conflict of some sort involving them that will require the ritual to resolve.

One of the visions looked like the staff (the goblins and so forth) going on strike. Another showed the tower surrounded by withered trees.

Maybe we'll have a time skip where the school definitely does shut down and the next arc is about reviving it along with the state of magic in the world

The school will shut down, Diana will join forces with Akko's gang to help complete the ritual and restore magic back to the world. Somewhere along the line we learn how Chariot failed in attempting a similar feat, except Acco will succeed and become more beloved than Chariot.

I think it'd be interesting if the 7 stars correspond to lessons Akko has to learn to become the adult ready to save the world. The first seems to have been ignited by her pure-hearted wonder at magic, and the second by her choosing to not sacrifice herself in pursuit of her dreams. I'm definitely curious what lesson Ursula failed at.

She's definitely activated the first two words in big moments of resolve. I reckon you've got it right there.

I went looking for Shiny Chariot scenes to see if I could count how many of the gems on the staff she'd lit up, but there didn't seem to be any. It did remind me that Ursala is adorable though.

if i made a video game, i'd make all of the bosses Bed of Chaos variants.

And then I'd make a cooler version of Artorias for the final boss but as soon you hit it once, a really big bed of chaos kills it and you have to fight it instead.

I'm guessing...whatever hosed up the moon.

Did you notice how the drawing of the moon on the Blue Moon card is unscarred? Maybe between the time of printing and now, it got that big star mark--and maybe that has to do with why Shiny Chariot is lying low.

I was under the impression that the first shots - where it's showing fairy professor - are the past, and the second shots were the future. Sure looks that way, with the imagery of many demons, the tower and surrounding land covered in forest juxtaposed with modern rioters, the city (not Luna nova, but the city) in flames, and...

This lady. She's the very last image you see before Akko faints.
