Magia Record Timeline

This section is in need of attention.

The following section does not fit satisfactory wiki standards. It may be missing information, containing unconfirmed speculation outside of the speculation section, or have information that is outdated, in need of a rewriting, condensing, expansion, etc. If you wish to help fix up this section, please contribute on the editing page here.

This is a rough timeline of events in the Magia Record game. It's a work-in-progress and partly speculative.

Note that the Magia Record timeline is wholly incompatible with the main Madoka Magica timeline. Whereas Arc 1 takes place over several months (at least two, likely more, especially when including present-day events not included in the main story), the events of Madoka Magica cover only a month and a half at most.

This could be reconciled with the main anime timeline if Homura's time travel took her back to a fixed point in time rather than regressing time by a fixed period, but word of God strongly suggests the latter was intended. But if it took her to a fixed point, the much longer timespan of Magia Record wouldn't be an issue.

Another way to reconcile it with the anime would be to take the Magia Record timeline to be an alternate final timeline. That makes it a huge departure from canon however, as the Homura in Magia Record still wears glasses and pigtails and is probably only on her third try, or at least not far past it. It is noted in cool Homura's side story that the point of divergence from canon is that Magia Record's Homura chickened out at attempting to let the group know the truth about witches in timeline 3.

Note also that the game's timeline is, primarily by present day and in some aspects of the past, mutually exclusive from that of its anime adaptation; while some events are retained or similar, the adaptation is effectively an entirely different take on the story and events unfold very differently.

Arc 1

Based on the canon Timeline and the fact that the prologue features the main series characters fighting Patricia, arc 1 begins in the spring, no earlier than March 25 but potentially as late as mid-June. For the sake of having a concrete date to work with, the following will assume the prologue occurs on March 25. This timeline mainly uses a minimum estimate of the time frame, so in some cases there could easily be a few extra days inserted.

Date	Chapter	Event	Notes
March 25	Prologue	Homura receives visions about coming to Kamihama for salvation	With reference to main canon timeline, as she's fighting against Patricia.
March 25	1	Iroha visits Kamihama, where she meets Kaede, Momoko, Yachiyo, and the Coordinator.	There's nothing specific to link the two events, but it seems to make sense for them to be around the same time frame.
March 26	2	Iroha checks out Satomi Medical Centre and learns about the Rule of Ending Friendships.	Although it's not clear how many days passed since she met Yachiyo and Momoko, there's no reason to believe she'd wait more than she has to, so the next day seems most likely.
March 27	2	Iroha asks Mitama about the Rule of Ending Friendships.	As above; it's clearly a different day since she's briefly seen in her bedroom, but the next day seems most likely.
March 28	Another 2	Mami investigates in Kamihama and speaks with Rena.	Since Rena is fighting alone, this should occur in the period between her fight with Kaede and the defeat of the Friendship Ending Staircase. Therefore, the 29th or 30th would also be plausible.
March 31	2	Momoko gets fed up with Kaede and Rena. Kaede is taken by the Rumor of the Friendship Ending Staircase, then rescued. Rena checks out the hospital records for Iroha.	As shown by the in-game backgrounds (showing the city at night, then daytime), at least 4 days have passed.
April 4	3	Kaede suggests Ui may have been taken by a rumor, so Iroha asks Mitama and hears about the Séance Shrine. She runs into Tsuruno while investigating it.	Iroha says she hasn't found a single clue "since last week", which implies a weekend has passed in the meantime. Since March 31 is a Thursday on Homura's calendar in Episode 10, that means at least four days to reach Monday.
April 5	3	Iroha does the Mizuna Shrine stamp quest and runs into Yachiyo, but they can't find the shrine.	Again, the only reason to place this on the next day is that Iroha has no reason to wait longer than she has to.
April 6	3	Iroha goes to investigate the shrine on top of the old Mizuna Hotel, but runs into a witch instead, as well as Yachiyo. By the time they've defeated the witch, Yachiyo has realized the Séance Shrine's identity, so they agree to meet the following day.	Tsuruno and Iroha agreed to investigate the following day.
April 7	3 Another 3	Iroha meets up with Yachiyo and Tsuruno to investigate the Séance Shrine. Mami also investigates in Kamihama and speaks with Kaede. They meet up just as Iroha unleashes her doppel.	Yachiyo and Iroha agreed to investigate the following day.
April 21	4 Another 4	Yachiyo suggests looking up Hiiragi Nemu in the phone book. After going all over town to check out various Hiiragi families, she drinks the Owl Water together with Kyoko and Felicia.	Iroha has had time to try every flavour of ramen on Banbanzai's menu. There's no way of knowing how many flavours there are, but two weeks to sample them all seems like a reasonable guess.
April 22	4 Another 4	Iroha, Yachiyo, Tsuruno, Felicia, and Kyoko track down and defeat the Misery Rhyton despite the Amane twins' attempts to stop them. Mifuyu shows herself.	Narration states it's only the next day, and the rumor's countdown also substantiates that. There's some ambiguity over whether this day is a school day or not. Tsuruno has perfect attendance, so she wouldn't skip school to help investigate. She's seen at Banbanzai when the countdown hits 7. However, this plausibly falls into the region of time to fit a school lunch hour, so it may be that she goes home for lunch. That said, her home is fairly far from her school. There's no scale on any of the maps however, so it's hard to speculate on travel times. Additional evidence comes from Kyoko and Yachiyo encountering students in front of Sankyoin around when the countdown hits 9. This is a couple hours after school would normally start though, so it's hard to say what it means. It might fit a school day if there's a recess? Otherwise, it would seem to suggest a weekend. Based on Homura's calendar in the anime, April 22 is a Friday, so this and the previous day may require being nudged forward once.
May 11	5	Iroha finishes unpacking at Mikazuki Villa.	There's no indication of how much time has passed since chapter 4, but she's shown in her new school uniform, and it states that it's been "awhile". Based on them going to school over the next two days, this can't be any later in the week than Wednesday. However, April 29 is also a public holiday, and the following week is Golden Week, which means it needs to be pushed either back one day or forward two weeks. Three days is likely not enough to call "awhile", so choose the latter here.
May 12	5	Tsuruno and Felicia discover the Radio Wave Girl's voice in Chuo Ward. Also, Felicia learns the address of the Kamihama Urban Legend Index website but can't open it.	This is the day after Iroha finishes unpacking.
May 13	5 Another 5	With some help from Momoko, Iroha's team figures out the Radio Wave Girl rumor and frees Sana Futaba from Endless Solitude. Madoka and Homura also get involved, as they've come looking for Mami.	This is the day after they hear the Radio Wave Girl's voice.
