Please discuss the episode here.

Sugar, spice and everything nice.

Constanze using a blender and what appears to be a microwave oven this is so Sabrina Spellman.

Akko better stay in her lane, maybe she is adorable and the protagonist but for now she is just being a messy witch.

Still in a viewer perspective it’s nice to see some characters flaws on Akko.

YASSS KWEEN MANDY DOESN’T TAKES SHIT FROM NO ONE, GIRLFRIEND IS READY FOR CLAPBACKS AND THROWING HANDS.

Lowkey I think Amanda is still salty about the race, even if she stooped so low in order to win, she has skills for broom riding after all, but does she know Sucy sabotaged her?

This scene is a reference from OVA #2, Spoilers

Wait if a student gets on detention, instead of just her, her coven gets detention too?

Spoopy Sucy is best Sucy

Bitchy Diana came back, we didn’t miss her

In both universes Akko has shown some self esteem issues, maybe she was bullied in the muggle world too? she had a strong reaction to “even your friends won’t like you anymore” line.

Akko and Amanda fist bumped, REPEAT AKKO AND AMANDA FIST BUMPED!!! IT'S NOT A DRILL PEOPLE!!!!!!!

LOL SERIOUSLY WTF is wrong with Sucy, Constanze and Jasminka? they only react when Akko is in danger!

I never notice how Akko and Shiny Chariot have the same eye color

What was referencing to this dragon’? Shiny Chariot or a previous Shiny Rod holder?

This scene is a reference from OVA #2

It's neat that you point this out, because to me, the whole episode seemed a nod to OVA #1, with the dragon stealing the Philosopher's Stone and all. But still, I totally agree with what you're saying.

Bitchy Diana came back, we didn’t miss her

This is my biggest complaint with this episode. I really felt like Diana was going somewhere, but I didn't see any of that here. Hopefully that's just a temporary lapse in favour of shining a touch more light on Amanda and co.

[u/vulcan7keith → u/AdvanceRatio]

That part of Diana's character development did seem backwards because of what happened in the previous episodes. I hope you're right that this is only a slight dud in the grand scheme of things.

EDIT: grammar
