So after watching episode 21, I'm kinda curious regarding if Chariot/Ursula is going to reveal her true identity to Akko, and if so how.
Its just that this episode seemed like the perfect opportunity for her to reveal her identity to Akko. There were many strong emotional scenes between Akko and Chariot, like when Akko said that she is going through all of this hard and dangerous journey just to meet her, Chariot's reaction, and of course the ending scene when Akko apologizes.
Since it still wasn't enough for Chariot to reveal her identity, I wonder if and how it will happen. It seems like the final arc will mainly deal with the fight with Croix, and I think that many characters that we saw through the whole series will get their screentime in helping this fight eventually. Not sure if there will be enough screentime for another strong emotionally scenes between Akko and Chariot.
I see 4 possible scenarios of what's going to happen regarding Chariot's reveal.
1. Chariot will keep it a secret from Akko until the end. If that will happen, I do believe that Akko will meet Chariot as Chariot as talk to her, but Chariot would want to keep her identity as Chariot and as Ursula as different identities to Akko for some reason, telling herself that she will reveal it when right day comes.
Personally I'd really get bummed if this happens, because since the beginning I really want Akko to understand everything about Chariot and how that the idol she so admired was actually always there for her. I personally believe that I'm not the only fan that wishes to see that and I hope Trigger understand it, but the scenario in which Chariot will not reveal her identity as Ursula is not impossible in my opinion.
2. Someone else revealing Chariot's identity to Akko, such as Croix in attempt to influence Akko or in a middle of a fight with Chariot when Akko is around.
Although I don't think this kind of revelation is impossible, I do think its less likely because I don't see how revelation in this manner is going to have a strong emotional effect on Akko as we all assume/wish it will have.
3. Akko realizes herself that Ursula is Chariot. Although Akko is really clueless and hence I don't see many chances for this to happen, I do believe that there is chance that Akko will realize it before Chariot is able to tell her, in a scenario in which Akko tries to save Chariot while her realizing it will demonstrate Akko's emotional growth.
4. Chariot herself revealing her identity to Akko in a strong emotional scene. This is my most favorite option, though I'm really not sure how it gonna happen. Given all that's happened in episode 21, Trigger will have to work hard to do that scene very carefully in order to be both emotionally strong and satisfying, and not be a repetition of the scenes in episode 21.
I personally believe that the options with the most chances are 1 and 4. Really hope to see a strong revelation scene and can't wait to see Akko's reaction.
