Speculation

The theories below have been proven wrong.

They are only kept here for the sake of completeness.

Date Disproved: 2026-08-28

Mami features heavily in the concept movie, possibly hinting towards her reprising Madoka's protagonist role in the new project.
Fan speculation about the plot goes as follows: Homura lied to Kyubey at the end of Rebellion as she didn't actually create a new universe - she simply used the stolen part of the Law of the Cycles to expand her witch barrier to encompass the entire universe. However, this seemingly requires an insane amount of energy to maintain and once the maze collapses, Madoka will return to being a cosmological principle, and Homura's efforts will be for naught. Knowing this, Homura aims to trick Mami into becoming the goddess of justice, effectively replacing Madoka's soul with Mami's so that the former could remain in the world once the devil loses her grip on the universe.
Based on dialogue, Hitomi could play a bigger role in the movie. She could already be a magical girl or become one.

The theories below have been proven right.

At least one element from the franchise is rendering them valid.

Date Confirmed: 2026-08-28

The live and dead cats talked about in the dialogue may be referring to Kyubey.
The magical girls shown in the trailer may be magical girl forms of witches already seen in the anime and other media.

Inside of both the A-Type and B-type Concept Movies is the existence of a blurry still showing what appears to be a production note. This still, and the project as a whole, developed into what became Walpurgisnacht Rising^[1]. Over the years, multiple attempts have been made to unblur the still and reproduce the original underlying katakana.

In 2021, one such attempt surfaced on the site Bilibili^[2], resulting in the suggested existence of a character named "Wasu". Another attempt circulated in the /r/MadokaMagica Discord in 2025, later percolating to Tumblr^[3] which corroborated those findings. The discoveries in both spaces spurred discussion on the mention of "Marguerita" in the unblurred still being one spelling of the name "Marguerite", the lover of Faust in the story of the same name.

Consistent between both translations is the existence of "three sides"; the left column (Madoka's Side), the center column ("Homura's Side"), and the right column ("Wasu's Side"). This further aligns with the split visual of the three-part moon seen at other parts of the concept movie.

Early Plot Outline

Changes & Ideas: "Revised idea draft. The main focus is the relationship among these three."

This section laid out to match the original screenshot. Scroll horizontally to see more content

Side Madoka

(Lying is not good)
When she first met Wasu: "Homura-chan, did you cut your hair?"

Keeps a subtle distance from Homura.
But she is still curious about her.
"Have we met somewhere before?"

Wasu tries to interact with Madoka, and Homura blocks it.
Through the flow of ~-, she gets closer to Homura.
"It feels as if they have been friends since way back."

"Wasu may be strange, but she isn't evil?"
"I wonder why Homura-chan hates her so much..."

"I want to get closer with Wasu though..."

Wasu is always so cheerful, but...
"Her eyes looking at me are completely empty; it feels like she's putting on an act."
"I wonder if she is secretly doing --?"
"Isn't there anything I can do?"

Side Homura

Homura tells many lies throughout.
Every time she does, Madoka feels sad.

"Die." →

Ironically, thanks to Wasu,
she can become close with Madoka.

However, even if it's for protection purposes...
"It wouldn't be good if they became too close as friends."
"I must maintain my distance."

"Don't tell such pointless lies!" →

Madoka - cannot - ---
Sayaka and Nagisa are not returning to the Law of Cycles.

Side Wasu

Not everyone can just return to being a Witch.
Within the Law of Cycles (LoC), if someone other than the LoC itself interferes...
If things get completely out of hand, we'll cross that bridge when we get to it.

← "You die."

Rips into pieces, immediately repairs with magic.
She's crazy somewhere-, but it's hard to tell exactly where she's broken.
Wasu calls the current magical girls "Modern Magical Girls."
⇒ "Ancient Magical Girls" (Names/-- only)
(Magical girls from before --, they do not become Witches, they become "Monsters")

→ "She is Marguerita."

Wasu believes that waking Madoka up as naturally as possible is -- to the Law of Cycles.
Her thinking regarding -- is different.
Doesn't really want to do -- things to Marguerite, but --- is not ----
