Talk:Puella Magi Madoka Magica the Movie: Walpurgisnacht Rising

Should this page be renamed? The wiki generally uses English names whenever possible, and we've known the EN title for 2 years already. Though there's a problem with spelling, the "teaser trailer" from 2021 calls it "Puella Magi Madoka Magica the Movie -Walpurgisnacht: Rising-", while the 1st trailer from 2023 calls it "Puella Magi Madoka Magica the Movie -Walpurgisnacht Rising-" (difference in colon presence).

I just realized that this should probably at least have "the Movie" to be consistent with Rebellion. I'm not sure about the : position though, Walpurgisnacht: Rising seems more correct. If we ignore the stylized hyphens, this would be either:

1. "Puella Magi Madoka Magica the Movie: Walpurgisnacht Rising" (current style, but add "the Movie")
2. "Puella Magi Madoka Magica the Movie: Walpurgisnacht: Rising" (too many :s?)
3. "Puella Magi Madoka Magica the Movie Walpurgisnacht: Rising" (avoid double :, but looks weird)

I would personally go with (3), and redirect the rest. But let's wait until we have more thoughts on this. -- 0x99 (talk) 17:36, 25 September 2023 (UTC)

They all look good, though I would prefer the second if we had to choose that. Amaterasu (talk) 18:10, 25 September 2023 (UTC)

"Otherworld"

I was reading the page and noticed something I didn't realize before.

"Gekidan Inu Curry as a designer of the otherworld".

Is this a mistranslation, or is it a genuine new "world"? If a new world, I'll add a theory I have on it to the theory section. I just want to make sure it isn't a typo first. Amaterasu (talk) 16:43, 28 January 2024 (UTC)

Theory for "Walpurginacht Rising"

Theory for the movie, is that the movie is going to be about homura vs. homura, one of the homura’s being the bad one and one being the good one. How that would happen is that when homura was going back in time, there was a time rip that created an alternate universe, that there were 2 versions of her and during that time a new character was created, the character has the same features of madoka and the color palette as homura. More into that, in the movie the other characters, (kyoko, mami and sayaka) could have formed a group to fight against witches, therefore the use of bandages, the reason for this is because in the rebellion movie, homura at the end summons witches and witches are normalized in homura's universe. Adding onto the that, I feel as the plot of the movie would mainly be focused on Homura. Since Homura has time traveling powers, all the universes she created still exist. When she messes up in one, then she just makes another one, my theory (as I stated above with the time rip) is that Homura, (the good one) will be trying to stop the bad one from bringing suffering and recklessness into the 'world' and finally realizing what is good for Madoka, therefore her motivation to stop her 'future self' (the bad homura) --Eveearii (talk) 21:49, 17 April 2024 (UTC)

Play on words (Or names and also Magical Girl outfits) with "Sayaka Miki, Homura Akeme" and "Madoka Kaname"

Madoka’s and Sayaka’s witch form is similar to 1633’s traditional clothing for the wealthy, not to mention, Madokas, and Sayaka’s magical girl outfits are very very similar to 1633 German clothing. Coincidentally the name “Madoka” is,

1 word, 6 letters, 3 vowels, and 3 consonants = 1633.

the name “Sayaka” is, 1 word, 6 letters, 3 vowels and 3 consonants = 1633.

The name “Homura” is, 1 word, 6 letters, 3 vowels and 3 consonants=1633.

Now with Homura, the name Homura is associated with the spirit animal snake, which could be a clue that magica quartet is using a play on names, which also backs up the association with homuras, Madokas and Sayakas name all have the name amount of letters, vowel, and consonants.

Tarot Theory

Ever since the first trailer for the movie there has been a minor presence of Tarot cards. At the beginning of the first trailer Homura was seen in front of the Moon card (#18). I also theorize that the scene in the second trailer (the one where Homura is looking at her refection via pocket mirror) also has involvement with tarot cards. You see at the bottom of the mirror, the runes spell "FOOL". Now there is actually a card that is named the fool(#0).This leads me to believe that the movie itself will have a somewhat huge roll. --JhasmineWisheart 3:04 PM, 1 Oct 2024 (CDT)

Third Trailer

Since the third trailer leaked, would we be for or against uploading screenshots from it? Since it was technically not officially released, I can see both sides. Amaterasu (talk) 14:51, 29 October 2024 (UTC)

I mean, looking at Concept Movie's page, there are still some old screenshots that are veeeeeery clearly from a bootlegged unofficial recording. So there's precedent on the Wiki to include them EPF (talk) 14:58, 29 October 2024 (UTC)

I have mixed feelings. On one hand I think we should wait for the trailer to be officially uploaded on youtube. That way we can get clearer screenshots. But on the other hand it would be cool to have screen shots from the leak so we can compare the two. Plus there is a possibility that the video could be taken down so it would be good to upload the screenshots to document this. So i'm leaning more towards uploading the screenshots. JhasmineWisheart (talk)10:17 AM, 29 October 2024 (CDT)

Cool. I'll take screenshots when I am available. Amaterasu (talk) 16:57, 29 October 2024 (UTC)

I actually already exported every frame from the Twitter video with FFMPEG. The whole folder is 1.2 GB. I also did the same with the 2nd W:R trailer and Concept Movie, and I can pretty much do it for anything if that's needed. Which is to say, if I were to share those, what'd be a good way? EPF (talk) 17:28, 29 October 2024 (UTC)

I think uploading it to google drive and sharing it via a link would be the best way to share that sorta stuff. JhasmineWisheart (talk)1:01 PM, 29 October 2024 (CDT)

It's still uploading but here. Unfortunately I won't be able to fit all the trailers here, 15 GB is wayyyy too little and that's what GDrive gives you for free. Wah EPF (talk) 18:13, 29 October 2024 (UTC)

So now that the trailer was just dropped on yt, are we still going through with the plan of uploading both the twitter and the official trailer release screenshots? JhasmineWisheart (talk)8:25 AM, 1 November 2024 (CDT)

To be honest, I'm not too comfortable with having leaked stuff in the wiki, especially that I live in Japan, and this sadly opens myself (and the wiki) to possible lawsuits (although IANAL). For now I've paraphasing it acknowledging that it happened without actually linking to the illegal upload but still not sure about the screenshots. For Concept Movie, I think it would be nice if we could replace it with the official ones (unless there's a clear difference). -- 0x99 (talk) 03:09, 8 November 2024 (UTC)

For the screenshots we have on the wiki, there's no difference (it's only Puella_Magi_Madoka_Magica_Concept_Movie#Speculation gallery on the page), but the leaked Concept and the BluRay Concept movie have slightly different visuals for the sketch-like parts. If I remember correctly File:Con_trumpet_head.PNG is shown on a colored background in the leaked version? I only ever skimmed the bootleg so I can't remember any other differences.
