Summary
A magical girl caught up in a mysterious phenomenon where time repeats itself. She's a third-year student at Mitakihara Middle School, and she lives with her aunt Sakie Aki at the cake shop Récompense. She prefers to watch movies alone and often goes to video rental stores and movie theaters.
Side Story
As of yet, Mabayu does not have a side story.
Appearances
Powers and Abilities
Her innate ability is known as "optical camouflage" a light based magic, where she manipulates the light around her to hide herself or objects she desires hidden allowing her to basically be invisible. She is also capable of enhancing her eyesight, allowing her zoom in on far away locations. In addition to this, Mabayu can move while time is frozen and is also able to remember previous time loops. Due to her wish, Mabayu has the power to see the future of whoever she sees into their eyes. However, her other main ability is to "Cut the future", essentially making her able to remove memories of a certain event from a timeline, like the "evil Nagisa Momoe that caused the death of Mami Tomoe and Kyoko Sakura.
Etymology
- Her given name (まばゆ) is contained in the phrase 'mabayui' (まばゆい), meaning "dazzling", "glaring", or "beautiful".
- Her surname is comprised of the kanji (愛), meaning "love", and (生), meaning "raw", "unrefined", "pure", or "undefiled", as well as "life" or "living".
Trivia
- Her design bears similarities to the design and motifs of Walpurgisnacht, leading some to believe she may be the Magical Girl whose Witch ultimately became the catalyst for Walpurgisnacht’s existence.
- Her green hair, film strip motif used in her teaser trailer, and apparent ability to recall information across Homura Akemi's rewindings of time have also given rise to speculation that she may instead be Itzli, originally implied to be the Witch of an alien Magical Girl not from Earth, or that Itzli's Magical Girl backstory has been repurposed for Mabayu and/or Walpurgisnacht.
- The theory of her being Itzli is further theorized due to Itzlis barrier being a grand theatre, and her appearing in film reels.
- Her green hair, film strip motif used in her teaser trailer, and apparent ability to recall information across Homura Akemi's rewindings of time have also given rise to speculation that she may instead be Itzli, originally implied to be the Witch of an alien Magical Girl not from Earth, or that Itzli's Magical Girl backstory has been repurposed for Mabayu and/or Walpurgisnacht.
- She wears a golden hairpin that resembles the blades of scissors, like her weapon, or, appropriately, the hands of a clock.
- She shares her voice actress with Oriko Mikuni.
- She works in a café named Récompense (lit. 'repay' or 'reward' in French), owned by her aunt and legal guardian Sakie Aki. Her aunt is trying to pet a black stray cat named Amy.[1]
- She is a cinephile (someone who is obsessed with movies).
- Curiously, Mabayu's mother also had the ability to see the future.
- Transformation video:
- In her transformation video, various clips from key points of the original anime can be seen:
- Madoka and Sayaka walking to school
- Mami explaining the life of magical girls in her apartment
- Sayaka in Kyosuke's hospital room
- Kyoko observing Mitakihara
- Homura walking to Walpurgisnacht
- Kyuubey in Ultimate Madoka's transformation
- This video is simultaneous with/continued in Madoka Kaname (Scene 0 ver.)'s video, and appears twice in Madoka's:
- The window Mabayu is looking through connects to the room Madoka is swinging in. Mabayu is first seen briefly in Madoka's video through this window.
- She is seen in the Holy Quintet group shot of them floating. While Madoka's background features colorful circles, Mabayu's is completely black.
- In Mabayu's transformation sequence, Homura can be seen stopping and starting time, coherently affecting time in Mabayu's transformation
- A glimpse of Homura's shadow running during these time stops
- In Kyoko's transformation sequence, we can catch a glimpse of Mabayu running down an alley as if spying on Kyoko.
- She is absent from the floating scene with the other girls.
- Mabayu appears to be absent in Sayaka's transformation.
- However, Sayaka appears in a theatre very similar to that of Itzli's barrier.
- She also appears in café Récompense, where Mabayu works.
- Mabayu appears to be absent in Sayaka's transformation.
