– What’s your favorite battle scene?
My favorite is the fight between magical girls in episode 5. Sayaka and Kyouko are similar in that they’re both close range fighters, we tried to make their individual traits stand out. It might actually be more interesting if you watched it knowing the special traits for both sides.
Sayaka is a speed & power type, but her skill level is low. Kyouko is also a speed & power type, but her skill level is much higher so her attack power is higher than Sayaka. On the other hand Sayaka’s recovery speed and defence is much higher, while Kyouko’s defence power is low. If she gets hit by an attack she’s surprisingly fragile, she isn’t very good at defending.
– So what can you say about Homura as compared to Sayaka and Kyouko?
The setting is that Homura is actually quite weak as a magical girl, even Urobuchi said that she’s “no different from an ordinary girl”. Of course, after she transforms she’s slightly stronger than a normal girl, but amongst all the magical girls, she’s one of the weakest types.
So to make up for it, she uses a lot of different abilities and tricks. In episode 8 she could not escape from Kyouko’s hold so we know her ability is not teleportation. In episode 6 when she was chasing after Sayaka’s soul gem she was stopping time and running on foot. She’s a really special type of magical girl
