Item from Little Witch Academia by Studio Trigger / Yoh Yoshinari
The fastest broom in existence — a deep red streak of barely-contained energy that flies until the end of the Earth regardless of its rider's wishes, tamed by no one until Akko held on through sheer stubbornness.
The Shooting Star is the aviation equivalent of a wild horse — it has its own self-replenishing magical energy, can fly without an external power source, and absolutely does not care what its rider wants. It will fly until it reaches the end of the Earth. It will not stop. It will not slow down. It will not respond to commands from anyone who isn't strong enough — or stubborn enough — to earn its respect. Akko rides it during the broom relay race and succeeds not through skill or power but through the same quality that makes the Shiny Rod respond to her: an unbreakable refusal to let go. The Shooting Star is a microcosm of the show's philosophy — wild, powerful things aren't tamed through control but through passion.
A long, deep red broom with an arrowhead-shaped tip and feathered end, designed for maximum aerodynamics. Two metal handles that are actually restraints binding its true power. When the restraints are released, it gains a long red aura tail that makes it look like an actual shooting star streaking across the sky. The broom radiates contained energy even at rest — it vibrates, it pulls against whoever's holding it, it wants to fly.
