Pretty surprised they didn't have Ursula lose her powers from the pollen and have that as a catalyst for Akko getting her poo poo together

I don't think they showed her using magic after they crashed though? The green thingies were the staff's magic, right?

She's probably doesn't want to risk Akko being all "mission accomplished" and then not getting all the words.

Still a bit silly sense I'm pretty sure Akko would respond to her hero asking her to save literally all magic positively.

Its purple as a secondary color instead of red and all of the holes are 100% in the wrong places. The shape is also wrong.

Oh no, the little details from another show aren't a 100% match!! Oh god what're we gonna do?!

It's similar enough, man. It's from another show with a completely different setting. I think it's alright.

Akko: (You think) you're American?
Amanda: I am...

Uh, I don't think she'll get those obscure manzai references from your homeland, Akko.

I thought she used magic to keep her hair from going back to her natural red though? Unless the effect of the pollen isn't immediate

Has that been confirmed? Could just be that it turns when she uses more magic than usual.

If that's the case, her hair still turns red in the preview as she's busting through Croix's cubes so I think she still has magic?

Losing your magic to the tree's pollen is a progressive thing so Chariot will still have her magic for a bit and then Akko will use the Grand Triskelion to give magic back to both Chariot and Croix, the endo.

Chariot never got all the words so she doesn't know that the person who gains all 7 words and releases the seal dies in the process.

Fortunately, Akko doesn't realize it either, so she just becomes a ghost and continues with her life more or less unbothered, except now she doesn't have to worry about doors.

Finally started this in earnest. I'm on like episode 5 now.

Went to look up some voice actors out of curiosity.

"Huh, Ursula and Chariot have the same voice actor ..." :downs:

Reminds me of how they tried to save money in Batman Begins by casting Christian Bale twice, but having him do a ridiculous growly voice so you didn't guess the same guy was Bruce Wayne and Batman. Nice try, Nolan.

The moral here is quite clear. No good ever comes from wanting to blow up the moon. Also your favourite children's entertainer sells drugs to kids, innocence is a lie and hope is dead.
