"And as for my Soul Gem, a curse isn't what's tainting it."
"Then... what is?"
"Something you can't understand, Incubator. It is the pinnacle of all human emotion. More passionate than hope, much deeper than despair... Love."
— Devil Homura and Kyubey, Rebellion.
Devil Homura (悪魔ほむら Akuma Homura) is the form Homura Akemi takes at the end of Puella Magi Madoka Magica the Movie -Rebellion-.
She transforms after separating Ultimate Madoka into just the Law of Cycles and the Madoka she used to be before becoming a goddess.[2] She manages to take over the whole Universe, making it her domain where she can watch over the Magical Girls, Incubators and more importantly, Madoka.[2][5]
Appearance
Devil Homura's design is comparable to that of Ultimate Madoka, the colors greatly contrast, as she is mainly black and purple while Ultimate Madoka is white and pink. Homura calls herself the devil when comparing herself to Madoka,[2] this can be seen in her design. Devil Homura wears a long, dark purple tattered dress that opens up in the front, just below her waist, and comes up her chest. The sides of this dress are cut out, and the top has a "tear" which most likely represents a broken heart. Devil Homura wears long, dark purple gloves and has a fluffy choker around her neck. Out of her back sprouts wings that represent those of a fallen angel, further representing the devil. She has long, black hair and has a deep red bow tied over her head. Lastly, Devil Homura wears long, purple stockings with a diamond design and formal black shoes that open up near the base of the foot. Those stockings are missing in Walpurgisnacht: Rising, and she instead has a red string all over her left leg.

Powers and Abilities
Because the world is considered her domain/labyrinth, she can control structures in it, such as buildings and trains, at will. She can create a giant circle out of her seals filled with blood, which when passed through by these structures, makes them transform into giant metal blocks, which she can split and transform at will. She uses them as projectiles or platforms in fights. When these metal blocks pass through the magic circle again, they transform back.[5]
History
In Rebellion
After most of the events of Rebellion, where Homura is trapped by Kyubey to experiment, and she is later saved by the Holy Quintet, she lays on the ground, with her Soul Gem fully darkened. Mami and Kyoko wait with her, until Ultimate Madoka appears with Sayaka and Nagisa. As she gets ready to take Homura's Soul Gem, and take her into the Law of Cycles, Homura catches her hands. Her dark Soul Gem starts to take on a different color, and as she talks about her feelings towards Madoka, she rips her away from Ultimate Madoka, splitting her into her old self and the Law of Cycles.

The new curse inside of her Soul Gem spreads outside of it, swallowing the whole Universe in what seems like a barrier. Homura then crushes her Soul Gem, and creates her Dark Orb, a seemingly new form of the Soul Gem.
As Kyubey floats in space, he questions what is happening and where he is. Homura then starts talking to him, explaining that this isn't the first time she's seeing this, as this is the second time she is seeing the world being rewritten. Kyubey questions what she is and what her motives are, she explains that the thing inside of her Soul Gem isn't a curse, rather a feeling stronger than Hope and Despair, Love. She transforms into her Devil form and explains that if she ripped god (Madoka) away from heaven (The Law of Cycles), then she can be called a Demon now. Kyubey complains that human emotions are too complicated, but Homura catches him, saying that she still has a role for him in her new world, taunting him.

The new world is created, in which everything seems normal at first. As Mami walks to school, Homura is shown talking to someone at a table, but she is invisible to everyone around her, she trips over a mug, which Mami hears, but she doesn't see anyone. Kyoko sitting on a tree, feeding some Liese birds, sees children's hands waving, presumably asking for her apples. She throws the apples to the kids, but Homura shakes her head and the apple ends up in the small stream, which suprises Kyoko. Sayaka then confronts Homura, being the only one able to see her, she yells at her, angry that she took a part of the Law of Cycles for herself. Homura explains that she only took the small part of Madoka, before she turned into the Law of Cycles. She proclaims that she is "Evil", a presence with the purpose of defying the god's rules. Sayaka summons her Witch, getting ready to fight, Homura says that when all the Wraiths get destroyed, she might become their enemy. With a clap of her hands, she makes Sayaka forget her connection to the Law of Cycles, taunting her that she might turn Madoka against her.
When Madoka transfers to Mitakihara Middle School, she is seen observing the class. When Madoka is ambushed by students, all asking her questions, Homura appears as a normal student, asking to show Madoka arround. They walk in the hallway just like in Episode 1, Homura asks what it feels like to be back in Mitakihara. Madoka starts explaining how nostalgic everything feels, and how it looks as if nothing has changed. Madoka then stops walking, realizing that she's right, and that the only thing that changed, is her. She starts transforming into Ultimate Madoka as she realizes that she isn't supposed to be here, but Homura hugs her. Homura tells her that she is perfect the way she is, severing her connection to the Law of Cycles. After that, Homura menacingly asks her how much she values this world, Madoka answers that she values it, and believes that breaking its rules is wrong and selfish. Homura tells her that one day, they might be enemies too, but for now she takes off her ribbons and ties Madoka's hair with them.
In the post-credits scene, Homura is shown dancing atop hill with her Dark Orb. She is suprised when she hears something in the grass, but realizes that it's Kyubey, and seemingly tortures him.
Homura uses the "Lizard Phone" rumor to get ordinary girls to fight wraiths for her, forcing Kyubey to make temporary contracts with them and collect grief cubes easily to give them to Mami, Kyoko and Sayaka, who find both the act and Homura very suspicious. Kyubey shows his disapproval, but Homura says that he is forbidden from making new contracts because there are already enough magical girls and because she doesn't allow anybody to take a huge burden by themselves.
The next day, she goes to school along with Kyoko and Mami keeping an eye on Madoka, Sayaka and Hitomi. Then, an unnamed student sees Madoka and approaches her calling her "Marguerite", ignoring Madoka's corrections. When Homura tries to get more info from her, she gets attacked mentally. Panicked, Homura asks Mami and Kyoko about her, but Mami can only reply that she is a quite popular upperclass student. Later, Homura starts having problems using her rumor to get girls to fight for her.
Homura tries to search information about her, but she cannot find any. However, she intervenes when the unnamed student, a magical girl, not only enters Madoka's house calling her Marguerite again, but also tries to remove Madoka's ribbons. After that, she transforms into her devil form to battle her. The battle ends when two new magical girls join the battle and the unnamed student cuts both the platform Homura was standing and one of her wings.
Later, she decides to convince Sayaka, eerie too of the trio, to help her investigate. Upon tricking the unnamed magical girl to get out, they enter their hideout, the Nazukasokotsune. There, she finds Kyubey again, but realizes that she cannot her powers at all there. Shortly after, the unnamed student appears and both her and Kyubey explain the existence and purpose of the Nazukasokotsune, which makes Homura connect the dots and realize that the unnamed magical girl is Walpurgisnacht. Homura decides to fight Walpurgisnacht (Wasu) with her familiars and by making Sayaka use her witch, but they are defeated. They narrowly manage to get out, and Homura decided to continue the battle outside with her actual powers, when Mami, Nagisa, Kyoko and an unconscious Zi Ding Xiang appear asking for explanations.
They however have little time as Madoka's witch appears in the horizon, with a Selema appearing telling everybody that she though Madoka was more useful as a witch than as part of the Law of Cycles. Homura and Wasu then decide to join forces to fight Madoka's witch and Selema. After both are defeated, Homura approaches Madoka trying to prevent her from joining the Law of Cycles, but Madoka transforms into a magical girl and shoots Homura, tying her in place.
Sayaka appears to continue fighting to get Madoka back, but Homura tells her that she is going to give Madoka back to the Law of Cycles. Sayaka cries that Homura can't say that, that she shouldn't accept the Law of Cycles, she shouldn't give up until Madoka is really happy, and that she is the only person who can say that she does not accept salvation for magical girls if it means giving up Madoka.
After being cherished by everybody, including Wasu and Zi Ding Xiang, she decides to use her power to hold the Law of Cycles back, but she is blown away and Madoka rejoins the Law of Cycles, not before she asks a Homura sleeping on her lap to forgive her for creating a world that Homura didn't want and telling her that she will always be with her.

**Unique to Devil Homura** In her hand is neither a soul gem nor is it a grief seed. "It was not even curses that soiled my soul gem. It is the pinnacle of all human emotion. More passionate than hope, far deeper than despair... Love." | 手にしたそれはソウルジェムではなく、グリーフシードでもない
「私のソウルジェムを濁らせたのは、もはや呪いでさえなかった これこそが人間の感情の極み 希望よりも熱く絶望よりも深いもの・・・愛よ」 |

Trivia
- In Rebellion, Homura implies Ultimate Madoka to be a goddess. Therefore, she says, the one cast away from her light must be the devil.
- Additionally, her final transformation into Homulilly has heavy symbolism in the way of lizards or salamanders. Lizards have been associated with the devil in many works of literature. Salamanders have been mythologically linked to fire, see below.
- In the Concept movie, Devil Homura is referred to as "The Lizard Girl".
- Homura previously attended a Catholic school before transferring to Mitakihara Middle School.[6] This means she would at least have some knowledge of the story of the devil.
- Additionally, her final transformation into Homulilly has heavy symbolism in the way of lizards or salamanders. Lizards have been associated with the devil in many works of literature. Salamanders have been mythologically linked to fire, see below.
- Fan names for Akuma Homura sprung up prior to her official confirmation include "Homucifer" (a portmanteau of Homura and Lucifer), Devil Homura, Homukuma and Akumura (both portmanteaus of Homura and akuma).
- Before being formally announced in Magia Record on August 20th, 2023, her release was hinted by the Magia Record 6th Anniversary ARG.
