The Elite: Little Witch Academia

To win is to overcome yourself. The ultimate adversity is

blocking oneself from believing that one can do or complete

their "dream." That is what Yoh Yoshinari wants to teach us in

this beautiful anime. One always has hope and the ability to do

what your heart intends. There is always an option that will

present itself with your dream tagged behind it.  It's up to

you, to choose and trust in the opportunity and be able to

achieve your dreams.

"Akko," who is played by Megumi Han and Erica Méndez has,

from a very young age, been a fan and admirer of the performer

Shiny Chariot. She is a witch who carries the most powerful

magical object in the entire world, the shiny rod. With this

instrument, she is able to make wonderful and amazing shows

that enthrall the world in the amazingness of magic. Although

her looks and her shows may be perceived as entertainment

and joyful, they carry a curse that steals everyone’s hope

of doing magic from that ability.

Our young human girl had the dream of becoming a witch, ever

since she knew of Shiny Chariot. This performer was such a

powerful force, that it brought many humans to fall in love with

magic.  Although Akko loved magic with all her heart, she

could never perform it. But for some reason, she would never

give up. And so, she tried and tried, until she was able to reach

the school of magic, but soon saw that nothing there was going

to help her be able to perform magic. In a desperate

attempt to find a way, she goes to the forbidden forest, where

Shiny Chariot found her magic rod. The rod only chooses the pure

of heart, and it ends up appearing to her in the most desperate

of moments. In the moment of near death, she puts her trust in

the rod, and her magic flows through for the first time.

That rod not only chose you for fun, but it carried a mission with

it. Find all the spells of the rod, unite the stars, and unite the

world. Little did she know that the rod carried the same desire

Shiny Chariot carried with her, to bring happiness to the world.

The only thing was that the rod has never actually been

completed, none of the chosen through history have ever been

able to complete the spells and unite the world. Not even

Chariot was ever able. That is when we know how and why

Chariot never completed the mission, why such a "great and

good" witch with such capability, was never able to finish the

job.

Chariot was not very powerful, so she sought it in an attempt to

be able to complete the rod's spells. This desire for power,

joined by a "friend" with nothing but jealousy was a formula to

create a spell that acquired power through the stealing of dreams

in others. The Dream fuel spell was the cause for thousands to

lose their ability in magic, this includes our little Akko. Thus the

rod looked for someone who could overcome the worst of

adversities, someone who could unite the world no matter what.

And though Akko was heartbroken to hear her hero stole

her purpose in life, she saw the completion of this mission to

unite the world more important.

And thus, with magic being an inherent ability, and the

lack of training, she still saw a possibility in her friends. The order

of the nine old witches were formed again, and the very purpose

of the rod was found in them. With the help of every single one,

they were able to defeat the enemy and bring the world together

to form the final spell and complete the rod and its mission.

Her adversity didn't become a problem because she saw her

power in other things. Her friends and their abilities became a

formula to complete the rod and bring happiness to the world.

Shiny Chariot saw that the responsibility and completion of the

rod fell on herself, while the entire point was to be able to see

past the rod and reach to others. The rod taught us that if we

truly wanted the world to have happiness and be united, we need it

in ourselves first.

It will give your mind a reminder that hope still exists, that no

matter what is going on in your life, you are not alone. Thank you

Yoh Yhoshinari for bringing this to my life.
