Little Witch Academia (2017): Season 1, Episode 11 - Blue Moon - full transcript
Akko comes to Ursula late at night to ask her about Chariot's disappearance, but doesn't get much help from her. Meanwhile, Diana looks into the history behind an old witch who was sealed ...
Sosomme Tiextrilla.
Come on!
The last piece!
It's backwards!
I did it!
Too bad.
It was close.
Attempt 100 of repair magic.
You almost have it.
That was attempt 101.
It's all right, you'll get it tomorrow...
I think.
I'm not so sure.
It's already been a month
since I started
Professor Ursula's after-school lessons.
She is such a nice person,
doing that for you every day.
Yet I haven't improved at all.
Maybe I'm just hopeless.
Akko is actually depressed.
The dead must be rolling in their graves.
I want to meet Chariot.
I want to ask her how I can be like her.
It's been ten years
since her last magic show.
Where did Chariot go?
Why did she suddenly disappear?
Where is she now?
I bet Chariot fell in forbidden love.
She followed her lover on a long journey.
I bet she was poisoned
and turned into a rock.
Chariot would never make such a mistake.
I wonder if
Professor Ursula knows anything.
Both of them were students here, right?
They're close in age,
so they could have been classmates--
Classmates?
It's possible.
I'll go ask...
Professor Ursula!
But it's so late.
I bet she's in her room.
Welcome to the land of magic!
Professor, I need to talk to you!
What is it?
Professor, your glasses.
I'm sorry,
I usually don't get any visitors...
Your familiar is a crow!
Good evening. I'm Akko.
Would you like some tea?
So, what did you want to talk about?
You were a student here, right?
What?
Did you ever meet Shiny Chariot?
-Were you classmates by any chance?
-Well...
Really? Classmates?
Maybe...
You were really classmates!
Wow.
What was Chariot like?
Did she stand out in class?
Kind of.
She was beautiful, wasn't she?
Yes, you can say that.
Why did Chariot disappear?
Where is she? And what is she doing?
Well...
I thought so.
I'm sorry I couldn't help you.
-I've...
-What?
Ever since I saw her show, I've dreamed
that someday I'd be like Chariot.
I still believe it.
But sometimes... I get scared.
If I could meet Chariot, I'd ask her,
"Is it really possible for me
to be like you?"
Professor?
A long time ago, there was a person
whom I called "professor," too.
One day, the professor told me,
"Phaidoari Afairrynghor."
Phaidoari Afairrynghor?
"You don't get that which you dream of,
but what you work hard for."
No matter what,
you should take care of Shiny Rod.
Wow, the moon is blue.
That's right. It's a blue moon tonight.
I see. According to the latest reports,
the number of witches
is decreasing every year.
Yes.
They say magic power keeps decreasing
all over the world, as well.
The great Nine Olde Witches.
When those nine witches
founded this school,
there was an abundance of magic
in the world.
Luna Nova's glory days were
1,600 years ago.
Since when...
did we witches become unable to use magic
without the Sorcerer's Stone?
Excuse me. It's Diana.
Diana, please come in.
I'm looking for a particular book.
An ancient manuscript
on the Nine Olde Witches.
I couldn't find it in the library,
but thought you might know.
The book on ancient magic, yes?
It's in the oldest archives
in Luna Nova.
Only special people are allowed but...
I will give you permission
to look through it.
Thank you very much.
Oh, Diana.
You should go see
when the moon rises in the sky.
It's a blue moon tonight.
With the magic of the blue moon,
something mysterious could happen.
Phaidoari Afairrynghor.
"You don't get that which you dream of,
but what you work hard for."
That's right. It's a blue moon tonight.
A dream?
I got it!
There it is!
Hey, do you know what a blue moon is?
When there are two full moons in a month,
you call the second a blue moon.
It only happens once every few years.
There is an ancient ghost
who appears only on a blue moon...
It is ill-tempered and eccentric,
but has vast knowledge
about the past, present and future.
It will answer questions
for those it likes.
It will answer questions...
This is my only chance
in the next few years.
A ghost will appear
in the Blue Moon Abyss.
Luna Nova's New Moon Tower.
It says there is a cave called
the Blue Moon Abyss under the chapel.
That's where the ghost appears.
According to the legend,
the entrance to the cave
only appears on a blue moon.
The cave's entrance...
So the Blue Moon Abyss is down here.
In this world,
there exists a witch's secret, handed down
from the megalithic civilization.
The secret, called Grand Triskellion,
has the power to change the world.
In the seventh century,
the Nine Olde Witches
sealed the Grand Triskellion
in the Forest of Arcturus.
"The only thing that can open the seal
is a wand with seven stars,
Claiomh Solais.
And...
the Seven Words of Arcturus."
Seven Words?
Noctu Orfei Aude Fraetor.
Aim for the ideal place.
The day she came to Luna Nova,
Akko activated the first word.
The wand!
Noctu Orfei.
Noctu...
Orfei.
Aude!
Aude.
-Fraetor!
-Fraetor!
Shiny...
Arc!
She doesn't even realize...
Akko!
Chariot may have come here once, too.
Why have you come?
Why have you come?
Go home! Go home!
Chariot!
Finally...
I get to see you.
I saw your magic show.
I came to Luna Nova
because I want to be a witch like you.
What can I do to become like you?
You are my only dream!
You must have begun to realize...
no matter how far you reach,
your dream won't come true.
It's not true.
Chariot would not say that!
Chariot is the one who taught me
that it's my belief in myself
that makes up my magic.
Who are you?
The ghost of the blue moon?
Are you behind the fake Chariot?
Are you mocking me?
Why are you here?
There's something I want to ask.
You can answer all questions about
the past, present and future, can't you?
Not all.
But what I cannot answer, nobody can.
I want you to tell me about my future.
Can I really become a witch like Chariot?
Foolishness.
This is more important to me than my life!
Is this the future you wish?
That's my... dream.
Step through the door.
The future will be yours.
But when you get the bright future,
you will lose your past.
What do you mean?
The future comes with a price.
You must sacrifice your past.
Your useless past...
will be erased.
Wait!
Don't erase them!
My past is full of failures
and almost nothing went right,
but I don't want to erase those memories!
Why?
They are not worth saving.
The tears, the frustrations, the laughs...
they're all mine. No one else's.
They're everything I have done.
I did my best!
I'm not going to erase them!
Are you all right...
with not becoming Chariot?
I can be!
I will be an amazing witch
through my own hard work.
The professor taught me...
"You don't get that which you dream of,
but what you work hard for."
Phaidoari...
Afairrynghor!
It's been a while.
Some time has passed
since I saw you last, Professor Woodward.
Is that you, Chariot?
It looks as though the lost Claiomh Solais
has been revived.
You tested this girl.
Just as you tested me, long ago.
She seems to be quite stubborn.
She brought back the word.
Phaidoari Afairrynghor.
Akko also revived the first word.
Now she has revived two.
There are a total of seven words.
Revive the rest of them.
Chariot...
you must help her.
Akko, I will tell you the truth someday.
