History WMG / LittleWitchAcademia

[[WMG:Shiny Arc is [[spoiler:specifically a dragon-slaying weapon.]]]]

* It is stated clearly from the beginning of the show that Arcturus Forest is a place where once you come in, you can't come out. After the episode 11 reveal, it makes much sense that Shiny Rod (AKA Claiomh Solais) can open a gate from there, but it also makes for a question: why would a spell so useful like that sealed in a place like this? Simple, because it wasn't a spell nor a decline that causes witches cannot use their magic outta the spiral-powered stone's range: it was deliberate setup to prevent world domination by the witches---or more significantly, WHOEVER witch that is sealed inside the Forest. In this case, Ursula was used by the Professor to try and unlock the seal upon this said witch, but she failed to revive all Words (based on what we could see in the framed text, the other Words are clearly written but one at the top of the picture). Akko, being led by Ursula to revive the Words without knowing the meaning of the act will succeed in releasing the BigBad and will defeat he/she/it while mimicking Chariot's acts.

Croix's idea of modernized magic is exactly what is going on in ''Literature/TheIrregularAtMagicHighSchool', where students use hand-held mechanical devices to assist in their spellcraft. Her ideas catch on and spread, enabling to an era of {{Magitech}}, minus the whole "feast on the magical potential of others/negative energy" thing, because of her HeelFaceTurn. Ako's stunt in the finale is what gives them the boost they need.

Luna Nova is not like the Nine Schools of ''Irregular''. It is a school that values the GoodOldWays, the ancient traditions of magic. Even in the new world of magic, they're not going to be center of cutting-edge research, nor do they want to be. On the contrary, they are now magnet for families who like that kind of thing, a literal "old-school" where students can soak up time-honored TRAAADITIOOOONS! TRADITIONS! while still learning modern magic.

Ako's stunt in the finale is what gives them the boost they need.

Thus, the rise of the magic schools as seen in ''Literature/TheIrregularAtMagicHighSchool'', which unfortunately missed the message about how the one who made all this possible was a muggle who struggled to learn magic.

Even if her Backstory is pure TrollingCreator and Jossed in the anime continuity, the restoration of magical energy from the finale is handwaved to be the reason Sucyworld is a stage in VR Broom Racing. Who's to say it didn't restore Constanze's voice?

Just listing the commonly held idea that the reason everyone has an American accent is because Akko can't tell them apart.

* [[FoeYay Oh come on, you all see this coming]].

* It's made clear in episode 6 that Ursula struggled at school initially too, and she and Akko are NotSoDifferent. In addition, Ursula is near relentlessly bullied and chastised by Professor Finneran, so it's not too difficult to make the assumption that Ursula faced similar problems at school, being constantly compared to other students than on her own merit and punished for doing the right thing just because it affected her grades or reputation, but didn't have anyone to defend her like she could defend Akko, so in tearing down Finneran's unpleasant behaviour she's being the hero she never had.

* [[NotSoDifferent And maybe show us all that they're just as quirky as Team Red (Akko, Lotte and Sucy)]].

*** To clarify a bit, the [[https://m.media-amazon.com/images/M/MV5BZTQ2YWEzYTgtYjNmOC00NWZlLThkYjQtMDVlNDBmY2Q1NDg5XkEyXkFqcGdeQXVyNjMxNzQ2NTQ@._V1_.jpg art in question]] has nothing to do with the TV series, it was actually the first teaser poster for what would become ''Anime/LittleWitchAcademiaTheEnchantedParade'' (back when it was called ''Little Witch Academia 2''). Akatsuki Departure is also not related to the series (bar being included on the Shiny Ray single). While none of them are directly related to the series specifically, given the scenerio in the art is somewhat similiar to what happens in "Yesterday" (which also features a depressed Akko away from Luna Nova while it's snowing), it is plausible that elements of whatever was planned at the time of the art's creation [[RefittedForTheSequel did get recycled for the episode]], though that's just speculation on my end.

** Explicitly Jossed by the producer. When asked about it, her reply was "[[http://desuarchive.org/a/thread/152661646/#152662083 No. Do what you wish in your fan fictions.]]"

Akatsuki Departure is also not related to the series (bar being included on the Shiny Ray single) as it's simply a original song by YuRIKA ([[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8zuFqwDCNIk the song]] and [[https://aimailyrics.com/post/164272222786/my-destination-translation it's lyrics]] are also much more upbeat and motvational than the title suggests). While none of them are related to the series, given the scenerio in the art is somewhat similiar to what happens in "Yesterday" (which also features a depressed Akko away from Luna Nova during winter), it is plausible that elements of whatever was planned at the time of the art's creation [[RefittedForTheSequel did get recycled for the episode]], though that's just speculation on my end.

See above. The Cavendishes are just cut and dry English nobility, regular [[Series/DowntonAbbey Downton Abbey]] people. O'Neill comes from High Kings of Ireland and godesses.

* Although the nature of the tensions is fueled by magic and the nation is TheNameless, the mention that it's a country close to Britain leaves France or Ireland as the main culprits, especially given the history of their existing conflicts with Britain.

So it seems her family's magic goes ALL the way back!

* The O'Neills are said to be descendants of the Irish high king, Niall of the Nine Hostages. According to legend, he was granted rulership after kissing/sleeping with an old crone who was actually a Celtic goddess.

** Confirmed for Chariot, but Jossed for Croix: she's ''Italian'' according to the LWA Chronicle book.

The guess is that after the end of ''Tweeny Witches'', Arusu at some point came back to the Magical Realm, saved it once again and, in the process, she let the Human Realm discovering its existence. Arusu and her witches friends cooperated to make things work and in the end, both civilizations became one. For a time, magic becomes so prominent that humans stop developing technology, going back to a medieval-looking state. Then, at the decline of the Golden Age, we progressively return to how the world is nowadays. And here we have the setting of ''Little Witch Academia''.

Arcturus forest of LWA could be nothing else than the Magical Realm seen in TW, abandoned by its inhabitants, who transferred on Earth. Nature there then grown uncontrolled for centuries. Amanda O'Neil is (physically speaking only) [[http://oi66.tinypic.com/685w04.jpg an expy of Arusu]]. O'Neil family could directly descend from her. Wheter Amanda or any relative of hers knows it, I'm not sure.

Shiny Chariot too resembles alittle Arusu, with the red short-cutted hair and that CatchPhrase about the magic coming from "a believing heart" (Arusu's version was "anyone can use magic as long as they believe with all their heart!"). Since Arusu in the ''Little Witch Academia'' epoch would be a legendary figure, Shiny could have been inspired by tales about her and decided to make people happy with magic. The term "Grand Triskellion" could refer to Arusu, Sheila and Eva, the trio who made possible the merging of two worlds and the start of the Golden Age of Magic. The Shiny Rod's creation could have been their way to ensure that magic will never disappear, and avoiding TheEndOfTheWorldAsWeKnowIt as we (nearly) saw in TW. The Nine Olde Witches could have been their most talented students.

[[WMG:'''''[[ProtagonistJourneyToVillain Akko]]''''' will go bad instead of Sucy or Lotte]]
* She'll get sick and tired of being the token muggle so she'll try anything to fit in with the other students, even if it means endangering the whole school; bonus points if she goes through a SanitySlippage.
