The Rebellion Story/Spoiler

This section may contain major spoilers!

Please refrain from reading if you are not yet familiar with all the latest media released.

Spoilers

• Before the movie start, it said please don't make spoiler.
• Nagisa Momoe is Charlotte.
• Hitomi Shizuki become witches and then turned back to human form.
• Akemi Homura becomes something more powerful than "Madokami".
• For some reason at the end of the movie, besides Madoka (partially) and Homura, the only Mahou Shoujo who remembers everything that happened in the movie is Sayaka.
• Sayaka transforms into Oktavia and is able to control her witch form.

Observation

• Just like in the Anime series, Kyubey's greed and plan backfired spectacularly. He tried to capture Madoka with a barrier of his own (after being told of her existence by Homura), but instead it helped Homura to become a much more powerful entity in the process.
• Looking back, "Magia" lyrics takes a much darker undertone.
  • Homura's greedy yearning has no tomorrow.
  • Homura's desire for a spell to fight the "sorrow" before her eyes [Madoka's selflessness].
  • Madoka is a dreaming memory, only Homura is awake.
  • Homura wants an endless dream for both of them.
  • Homura's wish literally becomes everything in the new universe.
• Sayaka is the only character (apart from Homura) who retains the memories of the previous world.
  • In the MadoVerse of the anime series, Sayaka was allowed to retain her memories so she could express her opinion and pass away peacefully with no regrets. In the HomuVerse in "Rebellion", Sayaka is allowed to retain her memories (and her life) so she can express her displeasure and opinion against Homura's actions.
• Prior to the movie events, the universe was first 'Atheistic' (the Mahou Shoujo system was in place and there was no concept of hope, it was ruled by despair), after the anime series ended the universe went to a transformation and became 'Monoistic' (Madoka became the concept of hope and put in place the Law of Cycles). "Rebellion" expands the universe by transforming it once again, and introducing a 'Dualism' system in place. If Madoka represents the concept of hope (selfless love), then Homura represent the concept of love (selfish love).
  • However, the system is neither equal nor fair. Madoka's powers are repressed and she is a prisoner in the new reality, indicating that these two powers cannot rule equally. There can only be one ruling entity, which is why Homura tells Madoka they are enemies.
• If the message from the anime series, was a message of hope. Then message from "Rebellion" is its opposite.
  • Urobuchi wasnt kidding when he said fans would hate the new ending, look what it did to these fans.

Speculation

• Homura becomes the opposite existence of Madoka.
  • The new entity known as Homura is neither a magical girl nor a Witch. She is neither the product of hope/wish nor despair, she is the product of love.
    • But what type of love? Selfish love, apparently.

• It is speculated that even when a magical girl becomes a witch, she still has her consciousness, although such consciousness is distorted and has much difference from the reality.

Trivia

• Fans have called the new entity that is Homura, Homucifer or Homukami (depending on your view).
  • HomuSatan and Homulucifer are acceptable as well.
• Urobuchi was pressured by Shinbo and Iwakami to come up with an ending that would allow the continuation of the franchise.
