tory

Missing her "Moms" (Doremi, Hazuki, Aiko, Onpu, and Momoko) so much, Hana-chan uses her magic to grow to their age and attend school with them. She becomes an Ojamajo herself due to the loss of her crystal balls which break during her transformation. Additionally, the Maho-dou is also turned into an accessory shop. Hana-chan must now take the same tests the Ojamajos themselves had taken before, at the same time as Poppu.

The six of them attempt to save the former queen, who is sleeping because of her sad memories. The sad memories spread to different worlds: wizards, witches and even humans, causing the people caught by the depression to feel sad, and possibly fall into an eternal sleep. With the help of Hana-chan's little elephant, Pao-chan, Hana-chan can play a special accordion while dancing with Pao-chan who will then swallow up the curse a few seconds later. To relief the former queen of her sad memories and eventually wake her up again, the girls need to remake six presents the former Queen has once given to or received by each of her six grandchildren. They are supported by Baba, the former queen's fairy.

Key theme of the series

Clothes and accessories have become an important theme to this series. The Maho Dou is now an accessory shop. In the shop, there is a beaded jewellery maker used to make bracelets, a tapestry machine, a spinning wheel used to make threads and a machine used to roll up ribbons. The eyecatches also feature related accessories to the series as well. A sling pouch can be seen in one of these eyecatches.

New Characters

Hana-chan

Hana-chan herself is not a new character to the series, but in this season transforms into a 6th grader, in order to go to school with Doremi and the others. Due to her transformation she looses her natural magic abilities and turns into an Ojamajo. It is stated, that after passing the first level witches examination she and all the others will return to being full-blooded witches.

Pao-chan

Pao-chan is a white elphant from the witches world, who befriends Hana-chan and decides to live with her in the human world. At first Majo-Rika is against this, but after getting to know that Pao-chans excrements have a great value in the witches world gladly agrees to let him stay in the Mahou-dou. Pao-chan's size is magically adapted into the size of a stuffed animal, because he'd otherwise be to big. This transformation does not limit his hunger, though.Pao-chan is also a legendary elephant who once saved the witches world with his powers. He has a magical accordeon which is now played by Hana.

Baba

Baba is the fairy of the Queen's predecessor and helps the girls with their task of recreating six presents the former Queen gave to her grandchildren, which when given to her make her remember her happy times and eventually reawaken her. She likes Oy!Cola and tries to blackmail the girls in order to get it in exchange for information on the Queen and the presents, which doesn't always work out. But she is generally a nice person.

Conclusion of the series

Ojamajo Doremi Dokkān is the end of the series. After Doremi and the girls wake up the Ancient Queen at the end, the Queen reveals her true personality as Yuki-sensei and asks the girls to make a decision: become witches or return to the human world. Doremi, in the name of all her friends says that they prefer to go on living as humans even though they must renounce their mystical powers. They split from Hana, who becomes the new Queen of Majokai, and prepare for their last day at Misora Elementary School. In the last chapter, Doremi feels very sad, because she doesn't want to separate from her friends, and instead of going to school she stays in the Maho-Do. All of her schoolmates go to visit her and remember how nice she was and the good things she did, and Kotake, her friend that was always teasing her admits that he likes her (albeit indirectly). It's Hana in the end who makes Doremi go out, or else she will reveal her magic powers. The last scenes are from the girls retrieving their degree at Misora Elementary School with the song "Watashi no Tsubasa" (ending of Dokkan) as ambient music. Hazuki attends the Karen school, an all-girls academy, Aiko returns to Osaka with her parents, Onpu attends a private school for entertainers, Momoko moves back to New York, and Hana goes back to Majokai. Although they are separated for now, Doremi is no longer sad, as she said to herself, "I'm already not the world's most unfortunate girl, I'm just the happiest girl in the world...."

The last scene takes place some times later, in which Doremi, now a junior high school student(as she is wearing a school uniform) rushes to the beach and meets with a boy (his face is not shown, so we don't know who he is). Doremi hands the boy a present as a sign of her love to him, which means that her main purpose in becoming a witch in the first place has been fulfilled, then the scene changes to a black screen with the words "Thank You" written in white, with Doremi's voice "Arigatou" (lit. Thank you).

Henshin

The girls (except Hana-chan) each press the button on the magical tap (a kind of perfume bottle) twice to activate the transformation. The gloves appear one at a time, and they spin around for the costume and boots. They nod for the hat, and say their post-henshin chant.

For Hana-chan, she uses a compact mirror to transform, which was created by the Queen of the Witches world using a part of her own and the girls crystal balls. In order for Hana to use magic she needs the girls to give her energy as she doesn't have any magical power of her own anymore. After using to much power Hana will automatically return to her normal self and the compact mirror needs to recharged, which is shown frequently througout the season. To do so, the girls first hold their wands horizontally, touch the tips of the wands and say, "Give Hana-chan energy!". A ball of rainbow magic is emitted from the wands and shoots for the compact mirror. Hana-chan then opens it and pushes the button at the centre. After activating the button, a pink bag appears. A white and yellow dress and a two pointed hat comes out of the bag and Hana-chan puts the dress on. She turns around once and the gloves and boots appear one at a time. She puts the hat on and her tap gets attached to her witch dress. Finally, she says her post-transformation speech.

In most Episodes of the Dokkān series, Hana-chan transforms by herself, without the girls giving her energy.

Magical Items and usage

Doremi, Hazuki, Aiko, Onpu and Momoko use a wand called a "Jewellery Poron". When using normal magic, they hold their wands upright and say their magical incantations. When using Magical Stage, a crystal ball is shown. The girls then turn around once and say their spell. They hold their wands upright and touch the tips of their wands. They say "Magical Stage!" and streams of magic appear. The streams of magic are then formed into a ribbon bow.

For Hana-chan, she can use magic with her magical gloves. She crosses one hand over the other and say her incantation. Next she rolls her hands and pink-colored rings appear. She will then show in front of her and the magic will react to her desired command. It is also noted that Hana-chan does not need to use Magical Stage as she is a full-blooded witch.
