Little Witch Academia - Season 1 Episode 20

As Diana prepares for her ascension ritual, which can only take place once every few years during a Venusian eclipse, she is ambushed and encoiled by Daryl's pet snakes. Akko, still believing that Diana doesn't really want to leave Luna Nova midway, hears from Andrew about how Diana once lost her magical abilities until something rekindled her determination. Right afterwards they overhear Daryl talking about her scheme to stop Diana from performing the ritual in time, and Akko decides to head into the Cavendish shrine to rescue her, but gets poisoned in the process. Despite being free to carry on the ceremony, Diana instead takes Akko away for treatment and tells her about her determination to continue the legacy of Beatrix and her late mother as benefactors to humanity. By firmly believing that Diana can still become the family head and return to school as well, Akko manages to awaken the fifth word, transforming the Shiny Rod into Chariot's broom, the Shiny Volley, which Diana and Akko use to reach the ritual shrine. Daryl and her daughters attempt to stop her, but are affected by a curse that falls upon those who would disturb the ritual. Choosing to save them from being turned into trees, Diana ends up missing the ascension, but in turn receives a vision of Beatrix for her compassion. Determined to protect the estate until the next ritual, Anna encourages Diana to pursue her true dreams and return with Akko to Luna Nova.
