Real talk, was it ever said anywhere that A-Q *is* a Kyubey? Pink Kyubey wasn't an actual Kyubey either... I think...? Anyway, they literally say they're not a Kyubey, so why are we treating them as one? The telepathy is something regular magical girls have too, and given they prooooooobably were previously Alina, well... EPF (talk) 19:20, 16 September 2026 (UTC)

I guess it depends on what classifies someone as an Incubator? If its contract/Soul gem making, then AQ is out. I put it in the powers section but I believe AQ is an incubator just because of the body, where they dislike Kyubey but still have to look like him. But I guess that's just theory stuff... Also I think ep 2 of the original anime confirms Kyubey is why the girls can talk telepathically, unless that was retconned somewhere. - TheresaFrog421 (talk) 19:37, 16 September 2026 (UTC)

Wait was it retconned/never limited to Kyubey????? I was looking through Magic and it mentions that there ("Magical Girls do not require Kyubey to use this ability amongst themselves"), if its about Magia Record, I just always assumed Lil Kyubey was doing it ;-; - TheresaFrog421 (talk) 20:11, 16 September 2026 (UTC)

The only mention of the word telepathy in ep2 is: EPF (talk) 20:42, 16 September 2026 (UTC)

They talk about the telepathy while walking to school:

Madoka: We can communicate like this just by thinking to eachother.
Sayaka: Huh? You mean we already have magical powers? For reals?
Kyubey: No, not yet. I'm letting you communicate your thoughts through me. It's kind of a handy trick don't you think?

Ignore that my transcript isnt as good as yours lol, I always assumed that this meant Kyubey is a sort of radio tower for thoughts, not that Magical Girls can do it on their own. - TheresaFrog421 (talk) 21:28, 16 September 2026 (UTC)

Also on this topic, should Incubator be its own page separate from Kyubey? It would probably be very small but Isabeau is still an Incubator without being Kyubey. - TheresaFrog421 (talk) 21:38, 16 September 2026 (UTC)

Dunno about Isabeau's thing. But remember, neither Sayaka nor Madoka are Magical Girls in this scene. He's a telepathy radio tower for girls with potential, not Magical Girls. EPF (talk) 22:24, 16 September 2026 (UTC)

Okay, if you can please go to Magic and go source some times Magical Girls communicate telepathically without Kyubey cause this needs some sources. Tbf I kinda want Magic to be dismantled into other pages, as most of it is about Magical Girls' magic, so it could go into Magical Girl instead, but that's not the topic. - TheresaFrog421 (talk) 22:30, 16 September 2026 (UTC)
