*** This also brings to mind that her constant eating has a justified reason, and yet she still gets in trouble for stealing food/eating during tests. It's really not Jasminka's fault, but she still suffers the consequences, anyway.

** Though she wasn't aware of it, it's still really sad how [[spoiler: Akko had her magic crippled at the Chariot show. If that didn't happen, she probably wouldn't be the laughingstock of Luna Nova she is today.]]

* Lotte was bullied for being half-witch and was generally treated like a freak by the other kids.
* Sucy [[spoiler: was abandoned as a baby in front of an orphanage with nothing but a bottle of poison as a hint of whom her parents are. She has also kept said bottle of poison to this day and is trying to trace its origins at Luna Nova in order to find her birth parents.]]
* Amanda [[spoiler: was sent to Luna Nova to learn fortune telling in order to ensure her family's massive, wealthy business empire prospers. Obviously, she's not happy at being treated like that by her family, and this is why she's so rebellious and constantly trying to get kicked out of Luna Nova.]]
* Jasminka [[spoiler: is possessed by a gluttony demon that will escape her body and destroy everything if she does not constantly eat to keep it satiated.]]
* Constanze [[spoiler: was so sick as a child that her soul had to be removed and placed in the Stanbot (or numerous Stanbots) in order to ensure her survival. If her soul were to return to her body, she'll get sick again, so she's forced to live as an undead lich.]]

** [[spoiler: And when you actually take the reveal from Episode 22 into account]], it's especially heart-wrenching because it's very similar to [[TruthInTelevision real life students with disabilities]] and how they are often mistreated by their peers and looked down on by teachers who teach the regular curriculums as opposed to special education ones.

* [[spoiler: The Shiny Rod disappearing into the stars after serving its purpose. Akko trying hard not to cry just makes it all the more poignant.]]

* The summary is this. Akko has gone through the DespairEventHorizon and ran far away from the school as Lotte, Sucy and Diana have lost hope and want to find her. Meanwhile Ursula is trying to fight Croix knowing it's basically suicide at this point as she's lost her will to live. It's as sad as it is [[NightmareFuel disturbing]].

* The circumstances behind Shiny Chariot's rise and fall. [[spoiler:She enjoyed great success for a time, but audiences began to grow bored with her routines. That was when her old friend Croix approached her, offering a means of boosting her magic. With the feats she was able to pull off with the Dream Fuel Spirit, Chariot's fame reaches new heights. This led her to being emotionally crushed when she found out that not only did Croix only give her the Dream Fuel Spirit as part of her own agenda, but that she was inadvertently crippling the magic of everyone who went to one of her shows. She stopped using the Dream Fuel Spirit but without the power boost it gave her, audiences got bored with her shows again. Eventually, she got so frustrated that her last-ditch effort to use the power of the Shiny Rod ended up blowing a cross-shaped crater in the moon and costing her connection to the Shiny Rod. After that, she retired and gave up her very identity. On top of this, Chariot was still in school when her career as Shiny Chariot both began and ended - she was still a ''teenager''.]]

* As much of a {{Jerkass}} she was and still is, one can't help but feel bad for Croix. [[spoiler: She was the star student of Luna Nova and a naturally gifted witch, and yet a powerful magical artifact chose her best friend over her, who ended up largely using said artifact for entertainment instead of its actual purpose. On top of that, she also lost her ability to fly, if the flashbacks of her and Chariot at Wagandea are any indication.]] From Croix's perspective, it's understandable why she would be so frustrated and allow her bitterness to fester and grow.

** [[spoiler: To say nothing of all the other potential witches that were present as well. When it comes down to it, Chariot put on a magnificent show, inspiring many (including Akko) to follow in her footsteps...while taking away their ability to do just that. She tried to bring magic back to the world by stealing it from people just learning how wonderful magic could be. That's alot of things. Twisted? Absolutely. Arrogant beyond measure? Yep. Mostly though, it's heartrendingly sad.]]

* Professor Finneran's constant KickTheDog to Akko for most of the episode. She outright tells Akko that she senses no magical potential within her and even attempted to get the young witch expelled. [[JerkassHasAPoint She may have had some points in regards to some of the mischief Akko causes (usually by accident)]], but she took it too far.
