  • The Barrier grows from the conflict and collecting the magic of the visitors throughout this time, which Mifuyu notices has significantly weakened her on the long run.

They move constantly to avoid attachment, targeting families and schools while collecting Grief Seeds to sustain themselves.

• During this time, Konoha, Hazuki, and Ayame, or the Azalea trio, return to Kamihama and soon meet Nanaka's team. They ask them to join forces but the Azalea trio refuse.
  • Due to Hanna's actions, Magical Girls start collapsing after fights and rumors circulate that the Azalea trio are responsible. The three encounter Yachiyo, who confirms they're innocent as their magical signatures do not match, yet the rumors continue circulating.

• A friend of Karin's, Alina Gray who is already a renowned artist at a young age, wins a Modern Art award for a self‑portrait. Despite the rumors, Alina rejects deeper analyses of her themes and thinks she creates art simply to create. Alina gets a letter from a judge, saying that her work is beautiful and arcane enough to drive viewers insane, but it has no external theme and is like a powerful drug. It warns her to stop creating if she does not want to change the world, because her brilliance will probably run out by age fifteen. Alina does not understand the letter, but it affects her deeply.
  • Facing this inner dilemma, Alina thinks long and hard and decides her brilliance will fade at fifteen, so she plans a final artwork: committing suicide by jumping off a building and capturing it on camera. Kyubey appears and offers her a contract, but she refuses to solve her problems with a wish, saying it would not be herself anymore. She wishes for "an atelier where nobody can disturb me," then immediately jumps off the roof of Satomi Medical Center, landing in a field of flowers. Due to now being a Magical Girl, she survives and while unconscious realizes realizes she always had a theme: her own beauty. Unknowingly, her wish allowed her to create Witch Barriers and Labyrinths.
  • Alina is found by Touka Satomi and Nemu Hiiragi and treated at the medical center. Kyubey soon appears and explains how she survived to Alina. Soon, Alina transforms and fights a Witch, finding them quite beautiful and decides to not stop creating.

• Ui is announced to soon be discharged after recovering from her illness. One night Iroha saves her, Touka and Nemu from a Witch's Barrier but doesn't explain the situation to them. Soon after, Touka is approached by Kyubey, whom she recognizes from her uncle's book, and Touka interviews him on many topics. Ui and Nemu are worried about Iroha fighting, especially when they don't have all the facts and Touka explains to them that Iroha is a Magical Girl, she was fighting a Witch, and that Magical Girls become Witches.
  • Touka then explains her plan to save Iroha from her fate of turning into a Witch: if they can eliminate the need for Grief Seeds, no girl would have to become a Witch. Touka does not believe Kyubey would allow, or be able to grant a wish to erase the fate of all Magical Girls. Instead, they will each wish to steal one of Kyubey’s powers. Ui will wish for the power to harvest impurities and pass them to Touka. Touka will wish for the power to convert impurities into magic that all Magical Girls can use. She will pass this magic to Nemu, who will wish for the power to manifest that magic into an Automatic Purification System. In theory, the three of them will create a system that gathers energy automatically and delivers it to outer space to combat entropy, just like Kyubey does.
• The next late afternoon, in front of the hospital, Kyubey meets Touka, Nemu, and Ui. He asks for their wishes. They make their wishes for the different powers Kyubey possesses, where Ui wishes for his ability to absorb impurities, Touka for his power to transform energy, and Nemu for his ability to manifest. Kyubey warns they may not have enough karmic energy and that even he does not know what will happen. As their wishes are granted, Kyubey’s ear rings fall off and he shrinks into a small Kyubey—Lil' Kyubey—also disconnecting it from the hive mind of the other Incubators.
  • The girls begin to commence their plan, but Ui’s face contorts in pain and she screams. Her ability to harvest impurities automatically overwhelms her with the massive amounts of despair she is absorbing, risking Ui becoming a Witch. Neither Touka or Nemu's powers are enough to stop the impurities until Alina creates a forcefield around the hospital, cutting off the impurities Ui kept absorbing.
  • As Ui’s Soul Gem has already absorbed a disturbing amount of impurities, it is at risk of becoming a Witch at any moment. Nemu decides to risk everything by manifesting one of her stories. Without their human personality and emotions, a Witch cannot be created, thus Nemu plans to take Ui’s soul out of her body. Without a vessel, Ui’s soul will dissipate, so Nemu decides to use the small empty Kyubey. Since Incubators have no emotion or personality of their own, she decides to house Ui’s soul there. She does not know what might happen, but this is the only plan that may work until they can figure out what to do and return Ui’s soul to her body. Nemu manifests the story as an Uwasa and the process is completed.
    • Ui's existence is wiped from everyone's memory, and so are all traces of her existence due to this process. Ui's body turns retains her unique magic to collect impurities and it turns into a Witch-like form.
    • Once the transfer is complete, Alina's memory changes to where she told Touka and Nemu about the many places of Kamihama and then saved them from a Witch. She then discovered a Half‑Witch in the hospital lobby that was absorbing energy and they came up with a plan to use the Half‑Witch to achieve their goals. Alina wanted to use Witches as material for her best artwork yet. Touka wanted to become healthy and make a deal with Kyubey to learn about the universe. Nemu also wished to become healthy and use the world as her parchment. With the Automatic Purification System in place, they could sustain the universe while also isolating their world from Kyubey and make all of their dreams a reality.
  • The girls now believe they have successfully captured the Half‑Witch and contracted at just the right time. They turn to Alina and offer her some of their magic so she can extend the hospital’s forcefield to encompass all of Kamihama and keep Kyubey out.

• The Azalea trio are eventually forced to hide in an abandoned house and Konoha investigates with Yachiyo, while Nanaka's team continue their own investigation. Nanaka theorizes a Magical Girl capable of controlling Witches is behind the incidents. Mitama recalls a girl with suggestion magic named Mikoto Sena and directs them to Kanagi, who had met her.

• Later, Reira, Seika and Mito meet Kanagi at Mitama's. With her help, and Mito's power, they enter Kanagi's memories and learn about Mikoto's friend, Hanna Sarasa, who can copy a girl's unique magic. Meanwhile, conflicts between Magical Girls continue as they're manipulated by suggestion magic.

• Meanwhile, Hanna's realized that Mikoto's persona consumes magic like fuel and will vanish permanently if she runs out. Her own Soul Gem deteriorates rapidly from sharing her magic, and her Grief Seed collection is nearly empty. Mikoto's hatred grows stronger as she has visions of Magical Girls becoming Witches, coming from her connection to her Witch, and she struggles to control herself. Hanna also prepares a surprise for Mikoto with her magic, while keeping it a secret from Mikoto, as well as a plan to show Mikoto that the world is a just place.

• The different groups of Magical Girls in Kamihama discover that Hanna Sarasa is the culprit bhind their conflicts and the Witches, having used her suggestion magic. Hanna reveals herself to them, admits everything, freezes everyone with her magic, and flees, prompting them to catch her. Hanna had deliberately made herself easy to find because she wants to be defeated, believing it will prove there are still good things in the world.
  • Eventually, Nanaka and Hanna are at a standoff against each other and Nanaka targets Hanna's Soul Gem but hesitates to deliver the final blow. Frustrated, Hanna grabs her own Soul Gem back from Nanaka as Mikoto pleads with her not to do what she intends. In the last moment, Hanna uses her magic to copy Mikoto's new Transplant magic and force Mikoto's persona into another Magical Girl nearby, then shatters her own Soul Gem while Mikoto screams. After Hanna dies, her spirit hugs Mikoto's and tells her she loves her, however Mikoto cannot see or perceive her.
  • Mikoto falls into darkness until warm light surrounds her, and Hanna appears, explaining her plan did not fail, telling Mikoto to look at the city that night. Hanna will bear their sins alone, but Mikoto has to live.
  • Mikoto ends up inhabiting a Magical Girl on top of an observation deck—Alina Gray. Through Alina's eyes, Mikoto watches as building lights turn off and on one by one, forming a message visible from above: 'HAPPY BIRTHDAY.' She realizes Hanna spent all their time together preparing this gift, marking every location so the city she hates will celebrate her existence. Though her hatred remains, Mikoto decides she will live, forever remembering this scene seared into her eyes as she whispers goodbye to Hanna.
  • Meanwhile, Nanaka keeps the truth about how Hanna committed suicide hidden, only telling Yachiyo who knew the truth about Soul Gems. The two also explain it to Konoha and later, all the girls go to Mitama to recover and apologize to each other.

She also detects strange, non-Witch magical traces throughout the city, but due to the late hour, Mami ends her investigation for the day but resolves to uncover the secrets of Kamihama.

• Kyubey offers for Nagisa to be taken on a Witch hunt with Inui, but she never shows up and Nagisa is caught in a Labyrinth and then saved by Yu, the Sleepwalking Ghost. Yu explains she's completely forgotten who she is and only kills bad people from her list, explaining she sells their organs later. Nagisa notices her mother's name on the list and tries to lead Yu away from Mitakihara by lying. Yu only advises Nagisa to not take the advice of anyone, not even Kyubey, and focus on being free.
  • Inui encounters Yu and fights her to protect Shou's life, but quickly loses against her. Nagisa visits her mother and tells her about the wish which will save her, but her mother yells at her and tells her that being cured will not change anything because her suffering started when Nagisa was born. Nagisa meets with Kyubey at night in a playground and makes her wish: "I want the tastiest cheesecake in the whole world!" She specifies the cheesecake should be made for her mother's tastes, intending to have her mom die because Nagisa specifically didn't save her.
  • Kyubey finds Inui near the hospital, horribly injured by Yu and she becomes the Witch Uhrmann, Barrier engulfing the hospital, including Nagisa's mother's hospital room. Nagisa tries to defeat the Witch herself, and is knocked unconscious. Yu arrives and saves her, killing the Witch and then leaving to find Nagisa's mother. Nagisa wakes up and finds Yu has attacked her mother, with Yu also understanding the familial connection between the two. Nagisa prompts Yu to leave and she does, promising that she will keep being on Nagisa's side in the future.
  • As her mom begs Nagisa to get help and to not be left alone, Nagisa returns no answer. Nagisa becomes the Witch Charlotte all alone.

Another Daze

This event and the accompanying Side Stories follow the main team of Kazumi Magica. Regarding Kazumi, this event takes place before Kazumi meets the rest of the Pleiades, while in Magia Record, it takes place sometime after the founding of the Doppel System.

• Kaoru, Umika, and Kazumi chase a Witch to Kamihama City and a surge of magic gets Kazumi separated from them. Kazumi is caught in an Uwasa which takes the few memories she has and also taking on her likeness.
  • Kazumi is found on a park bench by Tsuruno and then meets some of the Magical Girls of Kamihama. Kazumi soon ends up inside the Uwasa and Yachiyo finds her and takes her to Mitama's. Meanwhile, Umika and Kaoru are also attacked by the shadowy doppelganger of Kazumi created by the Uwasa. They're saved by Tsuruno and make their way to Mitama's where they find Kazumi sleeping.
  • Yachiyo explains the Uwasa of the Crossing Path: if one walks into a particular long street, you will be chased by a doppelganger and once the doppelganger meets the original, the original will be replaced.
  • The doppelganger arrives outside and Yachiyo explains the Uwasa scattered its mind in eight directions; they must capture the eight fakes in one place to reassemble Kazumi's psyche. Meanwhile, Kazumi wakes in a cloud world and hears Umika and Kaoru's voices calling her as Mitama linked their Soul Gems and the smell of food guides her back. Mitama links their Soul Gems to gather the scattered parts and they defeat the doppelganger permanently and the three girls return to Asunaro.

Kazumi Magica

Afterwards, the events of Puella Magi Kazumi Magica: The innocent malice unfold as normal in Asunaro. See the the Kazumi Magica section of the timeline. Detailed below are the deviations from the conventional timeline of Kazumi Magica.

• During Satomi Usagi's rampage against the Kazumi Series, a few of them manage to survive.
  • Clone 4, the most similar to the original Michiru Kazusa, saves Clones 2, 6, 7 and 10. She nurses them back to health by feeding them part of her body, which clones are able to do.
  • Clone 10 makes a contract with Kyubey to make Clone 4 into the real Michiru Kazusa, turning her into a real human version of Michiru before she became a Magical Girl.
  • Clone 2 wishes for Niko Kanna's ability to reform and rebuild, which she uses on the other clones to give them appearances and identities. They plan to have Michiru re-enact the life of the real Michiru, saving the clones of Umika and Kaoru, but with a happy ending.
    • Clone 2 takes the identity of Niko Kanna.
    • Number 6 takes the identity of Umika Misaki.
    • Number 7 takes Kaoru Maki's identity.
    • Clone 10 takes the identity of Saki Asami.

Suzune Magica

The events featuring the characters of Suzune Magica take place at some point after Mifuyu joins the Magius. The events do have spaces of time between them and they've been organized with other events in that order.

• Suzune Amano finishes killing all Magical Girls in a city and enrolls in Hohzuki City as her next target. Kyubey tells her about how Magical Girls are gathering in Kamihama and that Incubators cannot enter the city, thus she decides to go there to investigate. Suzune befriends a few Magical Girls and soon crosses paths with the Wings of the Magius and attacks them. Mifuyu intervenes and deduces Suzune kills Magical Girls to prevent them from becoming Witches. However, before Mifuyu can tell her about the Doppel System, Alina arrives and fights Suzune, forcing her to retreat.
• Soon, Suzune returns to Kamihama and attempts to break Kokoro's Soul Gem only to be stopped by Masara, who was following Kokoro while invisible. Suzune then pretends to need help in a Witch's Barrier in order to be helped by Akira, who takes her to Emiri's Consultation Services. However, Nanaka appears and senses Suzune is their enemy, forcing her to retreat.
  • Meiyui joins the group and Nanaka deduces Suzune uses Witches to lure Magical Girls. They stage their deaths at the hands of Suzune using Meiyui's magic to see Suzune's goal and plan to spread an online post to pressure her to leave. The strategy works quickly thanks to Meiyui's family connections and Suzune decides to leave Kamihama.
  • Nanaka asks Meiyui to spread a rumor warning other Magical Girls about Suzune. The rumor warps and becomes the urban legend of the "Ripper Girl" in Hohzuki City.

• The rumor of the Ripper spreads to Hohzuki, prompting Haruka Kanade, Matsuri Hinata, Arisa Narumi and Chisato Shion to investigate in Kamihama, meanwhile Suzune travels alone.
  • The group splits up. They learn the Memory Ripper announces itself with a bell, and demands a name. Arisa and Matsuri encounter it and are attacked, with Arisa waking up having forgotten her wish and reverted to her meek personality.
  • The girls are picked off one by one alongside allies in Kamihama and they deduce refusing to give the Ripper their names causes it to absorb them, while telling it their name results in the Uwasa absorbing them and taking their form. While the others lose memories, Matsuri's fake memories implanted by Kagari are slowly undone, allowing her to remember the truth slowly. They eventually deduce that giving the name of the girl whom the Ripper has taken the form of will release the captive. Using this knowledge, they recover everyone, but Suzune remains trapped until Matsuri recovers her memories and frees her.
  • In the end, Haruka deduces the true name of the Uwasa is the bell sound she makes—Belle, or Suzunone. The Uwasa thanks her and disappears, with Matsuri explaining how they met to Suzune. Kagari Hinata arrives and quickly wipes everyone's memories, retrieving a knocked out Suzune as well. She berates Kyubey and returns Suzune to Hohzuki after ensuring she has forgotten everything.

• Kagari arrives in Kamihama and is approached by the reborn Uwasa, now the May Bells of Happiness. It creates a world matching Kagari's wishes. Those invited have their minds pulled into the dream while their bodies remain in the real world. Tsubaki's consciousness is pulled from a point before her death. The dream shows Kagari, Matsuri, Suzune, and Tsubaki moving to Kamihama and befriending Aimi, Kokoro, and Masara.
  • Tsubaki and the three girls move to Kamihama and live normal lives. After school, the group defeats a Witch together and discovers May bells, or lilies of the valley, blooming out of season. After touching the flowers, Tsubaki hears the faint voice of a child, while the other girls gain new memories regarding their situation. After Aimi tries to tell Tsubaki a memory she saw, where Tsubaki had died, she's ejected from the dream and the others split up to find more flowers. Suzune and Masara see Tsubaki died years ago, and Kokoro witnesses young Kagari making a contract to wish for revenge on Suzune for killing Tsubaki. After Kagari uses her powers to make Tsubaki attack Suzune, Tsubaki sets off to find the truth for herself.
  • In reality, Natsuki, Nanaka and other girls have found the victims and their voice reaches Tsubaki, allowing them to be on the same page. Matsuri learns the full truth and remembers Tsubaki's last words. She decides to save everyone even if it means losing Tsubaki. Tsubaki faces Suzune and Kagari, who beg her to stay. Tsubaki refuses and says goodbye as the illusion collapses. Tsubaki awakens in her own time with no memory of what happened but feels warm.
  • Everyone awakens in reality and Kagari rewrites everyone's memories and disappears. Matsuri and Suzune feel warmth but cannot remember what happened. Kagari, alone, resents Matsuri and vows to make Suzune suffer for taking Tsubaki away from her again.
• What becomes of this version of Kagari is unknown, but the events of Arc 2 hint that at least Suzune, Matsuri, and Haruka are still alive years later.

Present Day

This period covers the following stories:
Magia Record Event - The Ultimate Record

These events take place very close to the start of Arc 1

• From the Law of Cycles, at the corner of the universe, Ultimate Madoka, the goddess of all Magical Girls sits watching over countless records, each one the song of a girl she has blessed. One day she discovers a record she does not recognize, though she should know every one. When she plays it, she hears familiar songs at first, but then an unfamiliar voice rings out—a Magical Girl whose song she has never heard before.
  • Flustered, the goddess tries to sing her blessing onto the record, but her voice leaves no mark. She cannot carve into this record at all. Growing anxious, she listens more closely and discovers that a new groove is actually being carved even now, still in progress. The songs on this record are not finished being written. If she forces her blessing now, the record might break.
  • She decides to watch over it instead, knowing that when it is complete, she may have to destroy it if its songs prove to be bad. Even the goddess does not know what she will do when that time comes.
