Little Witch Academia (2017): Season 1, Episode 13 - Samhain Magic - full transcript
Wanting to follow Chariot's example, Akko proposes putting on a metamorphosis show to make Vajarois smile, which prompts Ursula to look into what caused Vajarois' sorrow in the first place....
At the end of the Samhain Festival,
Vajarois will appear
when the bell tolls at midnight.
Vajarois, who cannot forget the sadness
of losing dear friends,
cries as she devours the sacrifices
in one bite.
So that's going to be us.
Just thinking about it makes me...
So excited.
I know!
Let's make Vajarois laugh
at this sacrifice ceremony!
What?
Chariot was chosen as the Moonlit Witch
because of her transformation magic.
But she didn't want to be chosen.
I think she was just filled
with this desire to excite everyone.
So, let's make Vajarois the Grieving
laugh with our transformation magic,
and make this a fun performance!
Why?
I mean, don't you think
it's an awful ceremony,
just watching Vajarois cry
while eating the sacrifices?
Magic has to be more fun and exciting!
Magic should make people happy!
-Like Chariot...
-You know what?
Why do you have to take it so far?
Nobody asked you to do that.
I think we should just do
as it's been done before.
But then Vajarois will be sad forever!
We should do transformation magic
that will wipe away her tears!
But this ceremony has been done
the same way for years.
Besides...
Akko still can't even perform
basic transformation magic.
That's...
true, but...
Akko...
I understand what you're trying to do.
But we can't always go along
with what you want.
But I want everyone to see
that magic is fun!
I'm going to do my best
so you two will see it, too!
Just watch!
I see.
I don't want to give up.
Lotte and Sucy think we should have
the normal sacrifice ceremony.
But I thought if we used the same magic
as Chariot at the festival,
we could get everyone excited.
The magic Chariot used at the festival?
Arae Aryrha.
That's the third word.
Do your best, Akko!
I will do some research
on Vajarois the Grieving.
You should continue with your practice.
Yes.
Thank you so much.
I'll come by if I have any questions.
Of course. I'm here for you any time!
The reason Vajarois wails in sadness...
I'm sure Lotte and Sucy will understand
once they see that I can do this right!
Hey, Akko!
How dare you trick us the other day!
So sorry about that.
You really think an apology is enough?
Seriously!
Do you have any idea
how embarrassing that was?
-Well...
-But...
We'll forgive you, since the three of you
have to be the poor sacrifices.
I can't wait to see
everyone laughing at you.
You are so perfect for the sacrifice!
Akko the idiot. Sucy the creep.
And doesn't-matter-if-she's-there-or-not,
Lotte the invisible.
You three are just a pack of losers!
What's with your face? Nothing to say?
Why are you getting mad?
We're just telling the truth!
Metamorphie Faciesse!
Metamorphie Faciesse!
About 30 years ago they succeeded
with the greenhouse culture...
Metamorphie Faciesse...
"Doesn't-matter-if-she's-there-or-not,
Lotte the Invisible."
Focus, everyone!
The festival is almost here!
Yes!
Let's see. This is it!
"The first Princess Vajarois
of the Book Kingdom...
The reason she wanders around
after her death
is said to be related to a curse."
That's it?
I guess I have to look
for older resources.
"Vajarois's vestige is kept
at the Luna Nova Archive Library."
It's been three weeks.
Akko is practicing so hard.
Three weeks and three days.
She's not getting better at all.
Hey, Sucy.
Why do you think Akko can be
the way she is?
Whether she fails or gets hurt, she
continues to reach for the unreachable.
Probably because she's an idiot.
She just doesn't know when to quit.
I think it's amazing.
Hey, this is...
"Trick or Treat Plan"?
Why? Why can't I do it?
Lotte. Sucy.
You really can't do anything
on your own, can you?
But maybe the three of us
can do something together.
We gave it some thought.
We think it will be better
if you're the only one
who uses transformation magic,
and we focus on assisting you.
Even if you fail,
the two of us can cover you, so...
Then...
Watching you made me remember...
the excitement I felt when I talked
to a spirit for the first time.
That feeling when magic was so much fun.
So I thought it may not be
a bad idea to have fun with you, Akko.
-Thank you, you two!
-I can't breathe.
I'm going to make it happen
no matter what!
The Samhain Festival is finally here!
Alumni witches are on their way here
from all over the world.
Vajarois's vestige must be
in here somewhere.
But where?
The lights are lit on the special stage
in Luna Nova's athletic field!
Our special guests, Miss Marjolaine,
Minister Dorlin and Ural are watching
as we wait to hear the opening statement
from Diana Cavendish,
our festival executive committee chair!
I'm here to announce the opening
of the Luna Nova Samhain Festival!
And at the end of the festival,
the most excellent witch will be chosen
from all the current students...
and will be given
the title of the Moonlit Witch!
Now, who will be crowned Moonlit Witch?
This isn't it. This isn't it, either!
The festival has already started!
Not too bad.
Here comes the cleaning team,
the Sweeper Girls!
There, there, there, there! Constanze!
-Oh, no! She's been eaten!
-No! Please, let her go!
This isn't that great.
Just like every other year.
No wonder magic is becoming obsolete.
It's all because
Holbrooke became principal.
Come on! Hang in there!
You'll be okay!
Akko is late.
She's practicing until the last minute.
Akko isn't here yet? It's almost time.
I bet she finally realized
how pathetic she is.
And she went into hiding.
So she ran away without fulfilling
her duty and left everything on you two.
Diana, it's almost time.
How pathetic.
I feel so sorry for you guys,
to be paired up with someone like that.
Akko would never run away!
She always finishes what she believes in!
That's why she's practicing
until the last minute!
Sure, she doesn't know when to quit,
but that's Akko!
Metamorphie Faciesse!
Now, for the main event!
Summonning magic by Diana,
the executive committee chair!
I see. That's Diana Cavendish.
Let's see if she's a worthy heir
to the prestigious family.
It's finally time!
-The star of the Luna Nova!
-Yes.
We will perform water summoning magic,
passed down from ancient times.
Shurial Muryuelle...
creature with the sacred mane...
receive the light from the stars.
Now come to life
from the flowing fountain!
Tiphillie Lirullianae!
Amazing!
That's our Luna Nova star!
It sounds like Diana did really well.
It's Diana after all.
Sorry for making you wait!
Akko!
Jeez! You're late!
I'm sorry! I was busy practicing.
All right. Lotte! Sucy!
Let's give this
everything we've got right now!
The festival is about to reach its end!
When the bell tolls at midnight,
the sacrifice ceremony will be performed!
This year's sacrifices
are Lotte Jansson, Sucy Manbavaran,
and Atsuko Kagari!
Akko.
Just watch.
Hello, everyone!
Let's begin
the exciting sacrifice ceremony show!
-Exciting?
-Sacrifice ceremony show?
Principal!
Vajarois the Grieving, come on out!
Akko!
Over here!
Oh, my! Is Akko the only sacrifice?
Metamorphie Fa--
The poor sacrifice just became
the Vajarois's latest victim!
What a surprise! She transformed into
a mouse and avoided being a victim!
This has never happened before!
-The sacrifice has escaped!
-How dare she!
There, there.
Come on, Vajarois! Come get me!
The stage is destroyed! Is Akko okay?
This is certainly different
from last year.
It's getting interesting.
Akko turned into an elephant
and she's flying now!
-How cute!
-Principal!
I can't fly anymore!
Nice support! Now, I should join in.
What is it this time?
Mushrooms! Mushrooms are growing!
Thank you, Lotte, Sucy!
Akko, right behind you!
-All right! Lotte! Sucy!
-No problem!
Hello, Vajarois!
Don't be so sad! Smile for once!
How vulgar!
Principal!
-What is that?
-What a weird head!
Vajarois! Are you having fun yet?
Send away your sorrow with laughter!
Metamorphie Faciesse!
Come on, Vajarois! Show me a smile!
Akko still can't transform completely.
But they're all laughing, so it's okay.
What's with this awful magic?
It's interesting, actually.
That's it, Akko!
How was it, Vajarois? Was it fun--
Lotte! Sucy!
Vajarois doesn't seem like
she's having fun at all.
Vajarois...
There it is! This is it!
I was worried that it was gone.
Turuto Estida!
Ancient spirit, answer my question.
What is Vajarois's curse?
This... is the Seed of Sadness?
After Princess Vajarois
lost many of her friends,
she swallowed the Seed of Sadness
so she wouldn't lose the memory of them.
The seed will spread its roots inside,
and keep the sadness for eternity.
So, what are we going to do?
Vajarois, why are you so sad?
Shiny Rod!
They were blown away by Vajarois's sneeze!
Akko! Akko!
You're Professor Ursula's familiar!
And you've got Shiny Rod, too!
Listen carefully, Akko.
The roots from the Seed of Sadness
are spreading inside Vajarois.
The Seed of Sadness?
So she would never forget her friends,
she placed a curse on herself
to remain sad forever.
You must pull out the roots of sadness!
Use Chariot's magic!
I know you can do it!
Yes!
Where the heck is the source of sadness?
Hey, isn't that it?
What else could it be?
All right! Let's go, Lotte, Sucy!
Vajarois, remember the laughter!
Their smiles!
Arae Aryrha!
Ready?
What's this? Vajarois is acting strangely!
Akko.
What is going on inside Vajarois?
Vajarois...
your friends don't want you
to live with sadness.
They want you to smile, Vajarois!
Open your mind! Let's laugh together!
Arae Aryrha!
That is Vajarois's true self.
This is incredible!
The sacrifice team has done
something truly amazing!
They've done it!
They put on a really good performance.
It seems the sacrifice ceremony
will no longer be needed.
Right.
You did it, Akko.
Lotte! Sucy!
This is all thanks to you two!
It was fun, Akko.
It was okay, I guess.
Diana!
It hasn't been announced yet, but you will
for sure be the Moonlit Witch!
What about Akko and the others?
They broke the rules,
so they're out of consideration.
But they put on a good show.
The award ceremony will start soon,
so get ready!
Akko is crying!
She's emotional after releasing
Vajarois from the curse!
Why am I feeling this way?

Vajarois, who cannot forget the sadness

So that's going to be us.

Chariot was chosen as the Moonlit Witch
because of her transformation magic.
But she didn't want to be chosen.
I think she was just filled
