Magical summer Roxy 😢😢

I wish these dolls did get released. I'd want to buy a few of them.

I want to buy it so bad!!!!

Are there any more of the trix laughing like at 9:00 or any from that episode like the contestants. It’s the beauty pageant one. It has its problems but I thought ok besides that

Could be that she was supposed to be “the fairy of life” since their names match their powers. Stella (star), Flora (flowers), Musa (music), Techna (technology) and Bloom (like a flower blooming) so they messed around with the idea of “wind” being life, or energy but then they settled on the dragon flame being a symbol for life

I've never heard the theory before (i'm not really in the fandom) but i'm more inclined to believe your interpretation because you have the artbook and things like that are normally mentioned in art books, along with sketches of the original concepts. Even if she /was/ meant to be a wind fairy at some point, the idea clearly didn't make it far into the show's production. I read the comment the original theorist left about the couple names, but even then Bloom/Sky still makes sense, with the sun being a ball of fire in the sky. The theory is fun, but i just can't imagine that someone working on the show would not have mentioned any of the main girls, not just Bloom, having their elements/disciplines altered in the show's production when the show is over 20 years old. On top of that, Bloom's original accent color was yellow, which is more associated with the sun, and therefore, fire. I actually wish they kept her in more yellow. Even though the art you showed in the vid was blurry, the yellow top with the star cutout was super cute. Maybe they didn't want her and Stella getting confused, but Stella's main look in seasons 2 and 3 was blue too, so i don't see why bloom couldn't have been in more yellow/gold later on with blue and pink accents

Im also sure that the transformations aleast went through a phase where they were much shorter like that trailer bloom transformation as we see stellas outfit forming when she does her spin but in the final version it had already apeared

You had a blast, I see.

I also haven’t noticed a name theme amongst the couples but if we are using that as evidence then Bloom and Sky are both nature names so they already have a theme without Bloom having different powers. Also I feel like the box where Bloom is the fairy of the wind might’ve been a mistranslation from Italian since it also has the line about wind making fire stronger

Regarding the name symbolism: Fire (Bloom) needs air (oxygen, Sky) to continue to exist. A flame goes out when you deprive it of air. Also Bloom's arch enemy is Icy, and ice is opposite to fire. Darcy (darkness) is the opposite to light (Stella) and Stormy is chaos which is opposite to rhythym (Musa)

In the Dutch version of the magic winx transformation the lyrics also mention the wind. “I put my faith in the breath of the wind / I put my faith in the elements, wind and rain and the super power of winx”

Is maybe Nabu mentioned in the book?

This is really cool! I think there's a way you could upload the app files (.ipa) from the iPod- you could put them on Internet Archive by plugging it into a computer The Disney Fairies app I think is called Fairies Fly lite, not fairies lite. because of the icon of the app, i think your version is unofficial

Honestly it's interesting to think that the wind fairy idea was a disdirect and it's a theory I can get behind. Stella, Flora and Musa also have instances for having attacks that have something to do with air/wind. The image with Bloom using her "wind powers" could just be some random mystical energy.

There´s actually a possibility she has both of them. When she first transforms on the season 1 she is surrounded by electric static that can be cause by the fact her wind powers are getting mixed up with the dragon flame so that could actually be why she had the static when she first transformed. Maybe her first transformation was the trigger for the her wind powers to mix with the dragon flame since the dragon flame protected bloom vs the troll when she didnt knew she had powers but when she transforms the first time then she would be able to use her wind powers as well so that could be the reason why. It totally makes sense now. 😮😮

Sounds like Stormy power

I've always loved the contrast of the blue against Bloom's fiery red hair. My interpretation was that the blue represents blue fire, which burns hotter than red fire.

Hi

I actually always thought about Bloom having wind powers, bear with me, wind is created when the sun heats up the air closer to the ground, this hotter air is less dense than the colder air at the top which makes it rise up and that colder air to fall down, that's what creates wind. Now, if Bloom is the fairy of the dragon flame, she could control the heat and trough this principle, control air currents.

hey uh love the video, i really enjoyed it but um the sound quality is kinda bad? its just a little difficult to understand exactly what youre saying, i watched the video with the transcript on. umm maybe think of setting up different or upgrading? im rly sorry im not trying to be mean i hope im not coming off that way, i just figure you might like to know... looking forward to seeing more of your stuff!!

The decision for Bloom to have red hair also fits into the narrative. Since she had the Dragon Flame in her since infantcy, elements of the flame might have bleed into her physically. I commented previously abt it resembling Naruto's relationship w the 9 tail Fox; Naruto's iconic look is his face scars/markings resembling whiskers, which is a side effact of his connection to the creature.

I think this is a fun theory but I gotta say the mainly talked about artwork isn’t all that old … they didn’t start using colorful lineart up until after the animated series had gotten serialized, even first magazines as far as I remember, didn’t have the colorful lineart.. which the artwork clearly has despite the poor quality, it looks like one of the first artworks they made in the first season of the series before switching their style for magazines and merchandise to a more clean/chic approach.

Hi. I am Zealous Ideal Long. The original poster of the theory. The other couples do have symbolism. Stella means the ''sun'' and Brandon means ''hill''. So Stella is the sun that rises from the hill. Flora means ''flowers'' and Helia is derived from ''sun'', and flowers need sunlight to bloom. Where did Iginio Straffi said Bloom was always suppose to be the fairy of fire. The fairy of the wind thing seems to be very early idea that made into the last finalized details, so he might not even think it's important to mention. Bloom's red hair means more than just fire. The color red also means ''heroism, courage, leadership'' which are Bloom's traits. Also most main characters in magical girl shows have red hair. It's a common trope. It only become associated with fire later on, but it doesn't have to be. I do like your take on the theory, though. Also about the Brandon thing, some have speculated Sky was originally supposed to be called ''Brandon'' in early versions of the show. Also at one point Bloom was supposed to have turqiouse colored Magic Winx design, and turqiouse color means ''wind, tornado's'' in color psychology.

I like this as Daphne is true owner of dragonflame as she's freaking supreme nymph alongside 8 nymphs. Gave her ownership to Bloom in possession, if you noticed whenever Daphne boost Bloom, she get stronger and powerful.

Could be. Sky’s name is not the only potential wind hint. His hair is yellow like the sun, and many of his outfits are blue and/or yellow. Bloom similarly also had used to have yellow as her secondary color until it was switched to pink/red in the second season. (Bloom’s First outfit was a yellow and blue crop top with yellow shoes, her first fairy outfit gave her a yellow crown + necklace and in the first or second episode of season 2, Her new outfit originally had Yellow with blue, instead of Red which would appear later.) I suspect that the Dragon Flame was thought up later in the development and They didn’t feel like changing them when the show began releasing. However in season 2, they began adjusting for the new dragon flame power so Red and pink in Bloom’s case, became their secondary colors. Another potential wind hint is how Bloom’s chosen best friend is Stella, fairy of the Sun and Moon, both of which can be viewed in the sky. Additionally While Bloom liked fairytales, she specifically liked FAIRIES who Fly.

Actually there was an episode that was never made called blown down.

The stock art of bloom that is definitely wind. 1 too many sharp corners water is flowely 2 it’s to grey to be water. 3 it isn’t a dark enough gray to be smoke Conclusion It is WIND!

I think it's a really good theory! Especially with the idea of Bloom thinking she's a fairly of air because of possibly using steam first. That's really interesting. 🙂

Aslo to back the theroy up the poilet epsoide ep 1 of winx shows bloom using the dragon flame but its so wierd the dragon never appears like that again its not orange or red its this yellowish color with more airy movement with basically no fire particsals

I do like that the blue she wears contrast her red fire magic and her overall fire power but like Wind I kinda feel like it is a miss opportunity but then again who knows maybe they want the dragon fire magic but at the same time they used an Asian dragon for her which are wind and water element able to create rains and thunderstorms so its all over the place I guess but in the end of the day they wanted to cater to the western market and dragons are depicted as fire elements so to not confuse them??? It honestly is all over the place and my opinion on the subject as well I love the aesthetic look of fire and pastel colors contrasting but at the same time kind of feel like wind was a better choice if we really think about it idk

Maybe Bloom was born as the fairy of wind,but when Domino was attacked, Daphne gave her her Dragon flame to protect her and the Dragon flame itself, so maybe the original wind power makes her fire move stronger through the air, maybe that's why her attacks are usually very fast

What I love about the Winx fairy forms/outfits is the fact they are kinda never wearing colors associated to their powers, and it's actually genius because when they use their power, the color of their power create a very beautiful contrast with the colors of their outfits ! The most perfect example is obviously on Bloom, but also on Flora (as we all know pink goes good with green) and also on Tecna (I absolutely love her very green power with her outfits being purple/blue it pops super well everytime !) I can't really say that for Stella and Musa, but your video makes me realized that Musa's colors are actually the complete opposite of Bloom ! And it's cool because Musa has honestly the best colors, she wears red and dark blue but also all the shades of red (bordeaux, magenta, pink) and shades of blue + purple which is the color between red and blue... and it's absolutely not related to her power, which is why it IS iconic and something we saw only in Winx Club ! The other Magical Girls and Superheroes are very obvious about the colors of their powers/clothes which make them saddly basic, but not the Winx ! Because if you think about that, Bloom is probably the only Redhead Main Character wearing blue (instead of green / red / pink) if she was wearing red "because of fire" what would make her different from Scarlet Witch ? Dark Pheonix ? And all the other characters related to fire ? I even want to add Layla/Aisha as an exemple, if she was wearing blue "because of water" what would make her unique ? We could believe that Layla/Aisha was the fairy of nature because green, but nope, fairy of fluids and pink chewing gum... absolutely Iconic and never seen before ! This is why Winx Club can't be compared and this is also why Bloom would be basic if she was the fairy of wind because "blue obviously" !

Agreed

I did always wonder about it as a child. 🤔 HUH, so I wasn't alone hahah!

Unrelated but your cardigan is super cute!

My personal take on this is that Bloom is a wind fairy that uses the Dragon Flame. Wind does make fire stronger, so her natural Wind abilities amplifies the Flames which goes hand in hand. Its relationship is sort of like Naruto w the 9 tail fox sealed in him. He can fight w regular ninjustsu, but since the 9 tail fox is part of him, it's going to bleed into his abilities.

I also had the suspicion 🤔 cause it explains her design direction alot. Glad I wasn't the only one.

Your plot twist theory would make looots of sense. I totally see it! Thank you for the detailed video! ✨

interesting! i remember seeing that reddit theory about bloom possibly originally being fairy of the wind i have a mattel tecna from that same line as the bloom you mentioned NIB (yes she's still in the box and has been for 20 years and my dad didn't let me open her when i got her - she's my only mattel winx doll atm) and they do list a different name for tecna's place of origin (in the DVD she comes with it's also listed differently from how it is on the box!) but they get her power source right (i think they do similar stuff for all of them but im not sure), so i think for the most part they were just having fun with it. HOWEVER i do also think the theory is a pretty solid one so you never know ;) it also does kind of hint at the dragon fire thing or SEEMS to because of it saying that "[her] powers grow with the wind just like a fire"

Excellent theory. I myself never thought of such a theory.

I've been looking causally for SO LONG for Musa gameplay on the pc game Aventura A Torrenovel as a non Italian speaker online, but I can't find it anywhere, you can find footage of all the Winx on RUclips if you look hard enough, so for now, the screenshots you have of Musa is the only things I've seen of her in the game, makes me sad 😢

I know it's the most useless detail of the whole book, but thank you for showing the hardcover of the book without the sleeve! I was indeed curious at what it looked like 😭 Weird that the spine of the book just says RAINBOW- Also I would love to see a video on the "Bloom as a Water/Wind fairy" theory!

I wish I could go to Japan, but we don't have the money. And I see you had a blast.

It would be wind unlless water was very very early but it says she was wind on very early 2003 doll boxes

You look like you had fun in Japan. Thanks for sharing.

This is fascinating, thank you for reviewing it! The gorgeous Icy artwork at 8:51 is on the back of my Mattel Icy doll card, I've always wondered where it came from for the last 20 years and whether there was a high quality version somewhere! It also explains why that Icy doll has a collar that's based on her Magic Bloom design :D I think my jaw dropped when you showed the Trix Gloomix outfits, I can see why they were cut. Also, the Dark Bloom deleted sequence that was too sensual reminds me of the one in the Winx Power show. It's really cool to see original character designs, storyboards, scenery and the thought process that went behind everything, I'm definitely buying the book now!

Did you know that Margot, Robbie who has played Barbie in the Barbie movie, played Harle quinn

Nice. Happy New Year.

Great to get to see this book, thank you! 😊You wondered why they don't mention "Aisha ever being Layla". I think it makes sense when the book is made by Italians and feels very Italian as well (because the English translations have been just added there and there are no separate copies in English). Yes it would add some international context to tell Aisha has been called Layla in many countries/dubs, but from Italian perspective when talking of the series origin, it doesn't feel that important. Or this is how it feels to me (I'm not italian but trying to take perspective here). The main target audience of the book is most likely Italians, and Aisha/Layla thing probably isn't that important to them. If they discussed differences between dubs, there would surely also be more things to mention. Lol here I am pondering a small detail here! 😄

I really want this book but i can't find it
