If Akko used up her last spell to free the fish, how did she turn back into a human to return Pisces...?

it might be.. but did you see in the right bottom corner trigger sign and yoshinari sign? :(

I don't know.. I just hope that in the end Akko will find out who Ursula actually is. I'm waiting for that episode so bad. I want to see her reaction when she realizes that her idol stood up for her, believed in her and was there for her, and cared for her. I just want to see Akko getting that hug from her idol, and realizing how lucky she actually was all this time. And I want to see her being an amazing witch like Chariot, impressing even Diana and making Hannah and Barbara regret they mocked Akko all this time.

It would be good to have climax with Akko dropping out of school.. But to be honest, I think that something bigger will happen. If you saw Diana's reaction, she was very shocked.. she wouldn't be that shocked if she really saw Akko being dropped out of school, it would be something she expected.. I wonder what did she actually see? And, she didn't say that Akko will literally drop out or get kicked, she said she will depart/leave Luna Nova. I wonder why

...which can be totally fake...but I kind of remember it from a teaser/interview...or maybe I am mistaking...or maybe this idea will be never realized...

Diana's prediction made me remember the "sad Akko" art.

she was very shocked

I think it is just empathy...she is a good (and strict) person after all and never wished something so bad for Akko.

Yea, I agree that she isn't a bad person who would want anything bad to happen to Akko.. But I just don't feel like she would make that kind of face.. I think she would be a little less shocked than that.. And, she didn't describe what she saw with lots of words, and knowing her, she would give a better explanation if she wasn't so shocked. And I think that she wouldn't be that shocked if she really saw Akko getting kicked out of school..
Some people say that Diana's prediction was wrong, but I believe it will happen sooner or later, whatever she really saw.. She never said when will it happen, so I think it's a little of plot reveal for the rest 5 episodes of the first 12

Since Diana used 去る (SARU, "to leave") instead of 退学処分 (TAIGAKU SHOBUN, "expulsion (from school)"), it's more likely that she was refering to Akko leaving the school (in order to search for Pisces-sensei) instead of Akko being expelled from school. So, Diana's foretelling was indeed right.
And I don't think this foretelling has anything to do with things that might or might not happen in the future. It already turned true in this episode and was just a way of creating expectation for a possible expulsion (suggested not by Diana but by the other girls) that didn't come true.

Well watched the scene again, and yes Diana was in shock when she made that prediction, also notice the aftermath, as soon as said Akko would leave Luna Nova, Akko interrupted her, got in a fight with Hannah and Barbara, the whole room turn into chaos, and Diana wasn't able to continue with any info she might have had.

It was a vague prediction, but perhaps there was more and we will never know. So basically this happened.

I like that Akko actually grew from last episode. It was pretty much what I expected, she is trying really hard (more than she already has been), but she still sucks for the most part. She is improving but the good part is that she still isn't amazing this early.
Ursula is geting better and better with the more screentime she has been getting. Now I'm hoping for more from Diana, Sucy and Amanda's gang.
Speaking of Diana, why does she hang out with the two worst people, Hanna and Barbara. Diana has to keep a public image, but come on she can do better.
I haven't seen existensial terror like the fish since Bananya.

Great episode and despite Akko's failure as a witch, she excels as a person. Luckily for her she did all the right things that prevented her expulsion for now. Also, the ever so reserved Ursula standing up for Akko was sweet. I didn't expect that from her and to see her stand up to her superiors for a student was nice.

On a side note, it felt like Diana's prediction wasn't completed before she was interrupted. Diana said Akko was departing, not expelled and she seemed genuinely shocked at what she saw...If Diana saw that Akko was expelled, she wouldn't be surprised would she? So I'm only guessing that Diana saw something interesting that may or may not happen in the future. This probably goes along with how the school will encounter many great obstacles in the future.

4/5- I enjoy this show a lot. It's real fun watch for me and watching Akko slowly grow has been a joy.

Great, great episode. Finally Akko is working towards her goal, which is something I've wanted to see for some time because all she ever does is lose.

Also great to see Ursula getting some backbone, and that she's building a strong relationship with Akko as a mentor.

Sucy episode when.

Still loving this show.

Liked how Akko got full serious with her studies thanks to last week's developments. Everyone thought something was wrong with her. Lol Amanda thought Sucy gave her some weird mushroom. And Akko getting in trouble for fighting was super unfair. She's the one who's the target of everyone's mockery and she gets in trouble. Obviously if you continue to make fun her she's gonna retaliate. And that sensei should take into consideration Akko's background before calling her a failure. For someone with no magical person in her family, she's doing good enough. And she's improving too. Ursula saw that sensei's flawed judgment and burst on her. That was nice.

This time around, Akko had a dash of good luck on her side along with all that terrible luck she has. The fish she saved as a side quest ended up being some rare species and she ended up being able to understand fish language as a side-effect of turning into a fish. And now she's being commended for her saving the fish and her expulsion has been cancelled.

And Diana's prediction really intrigues me. She stopped halfway through I think. Hopefully we get some more hints on what exactly she saw in her prediction.

Perhaps when Lotte said she only had so much magic left, she meant they had just enough in case they needed to use a spell to save Pieces AND turn back into humans. Lotte thought Akko would use that spell to free the fish, then later they would need a spell to free Pieces. Or perhaps the spell that turned them into fish had a time limit.

First of all, she doesn't hang out with them, they hang out with her, that is a big difference. The answer to your question might have come in episode 6 when Andrew their childhood. It is implied by what Andrew said, she didn't have any friends growing up, all of the other kids thought she was weird. So after all that, it makes sense she is not very choisy about her friends, she is probably afraid of being alone again. Besides the opening implies they are her roommates, she lives with them, so she is kind of stuck.

Though I am hoping, those two get some development, in episode 3 we saw another side to one of those girls, it might be Diana to finally stand up to them and tell them they are terrible, for them to take stock in their lives and become better people.

If I am not mistaken the transformation magic wears off by itself and Akko's magics are weak to begin with.

I genuinely really like akko as a protagonist, I do see why people find her naivity annoying but I find her want to improve herself endearing. I enjoy characters with alot of flaws that try to overcome their shortcomings as people in an attempt to better themselves especially when combined with an underdog scenario like akko is in with everyone doubting her. This episode and the previous one I think have been absolutely charming.

I'm wondering how, in the time it took them to transform back and take Professor Pieces back to school, the local newspaper already had the story about the merman written and the paper printed and sent out.

Pretty good episode a little predictable but rather entertaining.
Eventually Diana gave a false prediction and Akko stays at Luna Nova.
I hope Akko will improve even more in magic. ^^

They look at the newspaper later in the principle's office.

By the way you can see cameos from many famous hats there ;))) like hats from Disney villains ect.


Also, you guys don't get it. The prediction will become true but later in the season.

I really enjoyed this episode. While it wasn't very flashy, it felt necessary. Both in Akko's arc of becoming less useless, showing off all the characters strengths and establishing that this is a school with the usual stakes that entails. It also gave us genuine character growth and development with Ursula sensei standing up for Akko. And finally standing her ground against that mean professor. Plus the whole thing with Pisces sensei and their needlessly complicated philosophy class was quite hilarious. What a goofy ridiculous series. In the best possible way.

THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE.
----------------------------------------
So Akko really tries to improve herself despite being such an academic failure so far. I kinda feel bad for her considering that how little she's progressing and even being mocked by her class. She still can't properly fly with a broomstick!

That fish scene was pretty funny. Akko as a fish lol!

I thought the episode was overall fun but really hope Akko will improve more soon.
Lol "mysterious Merman".

Akko may not need to learn how to fly a broomstick (although, I do hope that she will learn) because I believe that the magical broomstick from Episode 3 will make a return. It will also probably make a bond with Akko too. It's kind of a Main Character trope, but there are hints towards that.



Notice how the broom is advertised on the series poster. Not every character or plot device is there (Fafnir or Nightfall or Andrew). Additionally, they are still mentioning of the broom.



From Episode 7, the bottom of the tabloid paper refers to the magical broom "flying near the equator" and "some claim it to be a broom".

Again, I would love it for Akko to finally learn how to fly but to create a bond with an uncontrollable magical flying broom is pretty typical of a main character in this type of fantasy setting (Aladdin and the magic carpet or Doctor Strange and his levitating cloak).

glad Akko is improving even for a 2 cour? it's taken her a while to even use half decent magic.
