Timelines/Magia Record/Arc 2

This article details the events and stories taking place in, during and between the chapters of Arc 2 of Magia Record: Puella Magi Madoka Magica Side Story, up until the conclusion of Magia Record entirely. It is possible that there are days between the ones listed, as well as some events from different sources (such as Main Story and Another Story) having taken place on different days from each other. Due to the uncertainty of the passage of time, this article is best understood as a summary of events in approximate chronological order. In lack of contradictory context clues, the release date, or order of release of the event were used for their placement.

The divide between the days isn't done strictly at midnight, as determining that would be a guess at best. Instead, consecutive days are separated by the rise of dawn signifying the next day, or alternatively a big passage of time skipped within the same night. As there are unspecified numbers of days in or between the chapters of Arc 2, as well as the part of the story being after Arc 2's conclusion, this article is split into nine parts.

1. Prologue and Chapter 1
2. Chapters 2 and 3
3. Chapter 4
4. Chapter 5
5. Chapter 6
6. Chapters 7 and 8
7. Chapters 9 through 12 and Epilogue
8. Unknown Placement (this section details events that take place before the conclusion of Arc 2, but otherwise their exact details are unable to be fully determined)
9. Post-Arc 2

Part 1

The first part of the story of Arc 2 officially starts with the Arc 2 Prologue, and ends with Chapter 1. Based on the characters' dialogue, these seven days are verifiably consecutive to each other with seemingly no breaks in between.

First Day:

• After class, Kagome reflects on her inability to act on her resolve to help Magical Girls. She thinks of Iroha and finally feels ready to take action on her own and spread the word of their existence.

• Ui alerts the rest of the Mikazuki team to a strange Labyrinth. They encounter an entity that somehow uses the defeated Uwasa of the Friendship Ending Staircase, but the entity itself is neither a Witch nor a known Uwasa. The entity proves to be exceptionally powerful, and during the battle, it targets the Magical Girls' Soul Gems. Tsuruno and Sana are injured defending each other, but Iroha, Yachiyo, Ui, and Felicia manage to defeat it together.
• The entity does not leave behind a Grief Seed, but instead, a mysterious, indestructible bracelet attaches itself to Iroha's arm. The bracelet also resists all attempts to remove it and emits strong magic. Yachiyo suggests gathering information from their contacts and Ui and Lil' Kyubey speculate the object wants to go somewhere.
• During this time, Kagome, now aware of the Magical Girl system, writes to document their struggle and bring their hidden sacrifices to light. She seeks to brighten the light of Magical Girls by revealing the truth of their fate.

Second Day:

• The morning after Mikazuki's battle with the entity, Kagome reflects on the information she has gathered about Kamihama's Magical Girls, the Wings of the Magius, and the Automatic Purification System. She documents Kamihama as a special place where Magical Girls are freed from becoming Witches, though this system is fragile.
• At Mikazuki Villa, the girls prepare for school. Felicia is anxious about a quiz, and the others have to physically carry her out the door.
• Later that day at school, during English class, Iroha is distracted, worrying about the long-term consequences of the Automatic Purification System, specifically the depletion of Grief Seeds and the potential release of Doppels. Her distraction causes her to give an incorrect answer in class.
• During lunch, Iroha shows the mysterious object attached to her arm to Momoko, Rena, and Kaede, who have no knowledge of Witches leaving such objects. Iroha explains the entity they fought used the Uwasa of the Friendship Ending Staircase as Familiars and felt different from both Witches and Uwasa. Momoko suggests Iroha bring the matter to the regional leaders' meeting scheduled for that day to see if similar incidents occurred in other wards.
• Touka, Nemu, and Mifuyu discuss the difficulties of expanding the Purification System. They conclude that expanding the system beyond Kamihama is currently impossible, as they do not even understand its base of operations within the city. The Eternal Sakura returns and reports that a Kamihama Magia Union meeting is occurring, which will include Iroha and Ui. She urges Touka and Nemu to attend, but they refuse, stating they have prior obligations to help Mifuyu study.
• At a playground, Kako, Ayame, and Felicia play together and Felicia mentions she must leave to attend a Kamihama Magia Union meeting. Kako and Ayame reveal that their respective teams have policies against joining the Union, and Felicia reassures them that they can still cooperate and share information when needed.
• During the regional leaders' meeting, Iroha presents a report from Touka on the Automatic Purification System. The report states the system continues to function but its Labyrinth's location remains unknown. Its nature is undefined, as it is a conceptual entity formed from Lil' Kyubey and Ui, making its energy requirements unclear. The report concludes that expansion of the system is currently impossible. Iroha and Ui also confirm they cannot sense the system's location and that Lil' Kyubey also has no information.
• The discussion shifts to the mysterious object on Iroha's arm and they describe the powerful entity they fought, which used Uwasa as Familiars. Ryo, as a former White Feather, states the Wings of the Magius had no knowledge of such a combined entity and notes the object appears clearly in her photographs.
• Kanagi reports that while no one in the Eastern Ward has encountered such a being, there are reports of strange magic being felt. Hinano states she will alert the Magical Girls in the Southern Wards as well and Kanagi agrees to remain vigilant, given the warning about the entity's power.
• The meeting concludes and Kanagi notes the positive change in Kamihama's Magical Girls now working as allies. The group disperses: Hinano and Ryo head south, Ui and Sana go grocery shopping for Mikazuki Villa, and Tsuruno and Felicia return to Banbanzai. Kanagi suggests Iroha have Mitama examine the mysterious bracelet as a Coordinator. Despite concerns that probing its magic could trigger a reaction, Yachiyo agrees, as leaving it unattended is also a risk.
• Later, after Nanaka's team defeat a Witch, they discuss whether to join the Kamihama Magia Union. Akira advocates for joining, while Nanaka and Meiyui oppose the idea, as they distrust the former Magius members. When asked, Kako recalls positive encounters with Union members but ultimately also decides not to participate. Nanaka concludes the discussion, stating it is too early to join and Akira agrees to stop pressing the issue. The meeting ends as the team is approached by a member of Promised Blood.
• Elsewhere, Hazuki, Konoha, and Ayame are also confronted by a Magical Girl from Promised Blood. The girl confirms the three are from Kamihama and immediately attacks with other assailants. Hazuki, Konoha, and Ayame win the fight and the Promised Blood members retreat, vowing never to forgive the Magical Girls of Kamihama. After the fight, the team notes the attackers specifically targeted their Soul Gems and Hazuki decides to gather information to determine if Magia Union and other local teams are also under attack.
• Later that evening, as Ui and Sana shop, they sense the magic of an unknown Magical Girl approaching. Nearby, Ryo and Hinano confirm recent eyewitness reports of unfamiliar Magical Girls in the city as well. The unknown Magical Girl passes by the group and heads toward Shinsei Ward. Ryo takes a photograph, but the image is blurry and the individual is unidentifiable. The group expresses concern for Iroha's safety in particular in Shinsei Ward.
• At Sakae Academy, Ikumi visits Karin, who remains at school late, unwilling to return home because her grandmother worries about her depression over Alina's disappearance. Karin shows Ikumi artwork Alina created, all themed around life, and insists the Alina she knew would not try to destroy the city. Ikumi confirms, based on her and Ryo's accounts, that Alina was one of the three Magius who led the Wings of the Magius and was willing to sacrifice the city. Karin believes Alina stopped coming because she was angry at Karin's lack of artistic improvement and vows to practice until Alina returns, but Ikumi tells her that people have more than one side.
• That night, Kanagi senses the magic of a mysterious Magical Girl but is unable to find her.

Third Day:

• The day after the sighting of unknown Magical Girls, Kanagi visits Mitama to discuss the reports of them. Mitama confirms that some of her clients have fragmented memories of such encounters but no concrete sightings. They briefly discuss the political fallout in Chuo Ward, as the East has been handling the cleanup from Eve's rampage and the mayor has been forced to resign. They also bring up the stable state of the Endless Mirrors Labyrinth.
• The Mikazuki Villa team arrive and Yachiyo confirms there are multiple unknown Magical Girls in Kamihama. They show Ryo's photo as evidence and the group discusses the possibility that these are hostile Magical Girls from outside Kamihama. Mitama attempts to read the magical signatures from Ui's memories but finds no clear information either, so the group agrees to circulate a warning. Mitama then examines the mysterious bracelet on Iroha's arm and confirms it is magically sealed and cannot be removed. Upon probing the jewel, Mitama discovers it contains an unbelievable amount of magic, far beyond a normal Witch's power. As she probes deeper into the magic, Iroha cries out in pain.
• During the procedure, Iroha has a vision of the "Witch" they defeated, Joyful - Sapphire Lips. The entity communicates with her, revealing it is not hostile and explains that because Iroha defeated it, it has entrusted its life to her in the form of the bracelet. The entity states the bracelet can only be removed and given to someone Iroha would trust with her own life.
• Iroha wakes up and tells Mitama and the others about her vision. She believes the bracelet isn’t malicious, but is bound to her through a pact formed during their battle. Tsuruno suggests returning to the original battle site to look for clues, and Yachiyo agrees, warning that harmless doesn’t mean safe. Iroha, Ui, and the others head there. After they leave, Mitama recalls how Iroha’s recovered memories once triggered major events in Kamihama, giving her a strong sense of déjà vu.
• The group searches the area for magical traces but finds nothing. Sana and Ui sense the same magical signature as the day before, then encounter a group of unfamiliar Magical Girls. The newcomers say they want the massive energy once present there, as well as the lives of Kamihama’s Magical Girls. They reveal they’re from Futatsugi City and resent Kamihama for the deaths of their comrades.
• A battle breaks out, and the Futatsugi Magical Girls prove to be very powerful. Their leader, Yuna Kureha, and her subordinate, Hikaru Kirari, demand Iroha’s bracelet, calling it revenge for their fallen allies. Felicia is badly injured, and Ui leaves to get help. She soon returns with Momoko, Rena, and Kaede, forcing the Futatsugi group to retreat. Before leaving, Yuna and Hikaru name themselves and vow to reclaim what was “forged in their blood.”
• The team brings Felicia to Mitama and asks whether she enhanced the Futatsugi Magical Girls, since their strength rivaled her clients’. Mitama denies knowing them, but reveals she learned her Coordination skills from a teacher, so there may now be other Coordinators in Kamihama.
• In the Puella Care trailer, Yuna and Hikaru meet with Livia Medeiros, Mitama's previous teacher, who performs a service of Coordination on them and gives them advice to not lose sight of their original goal while investigating Kamihama.

• Later that night in Futatsugi, Yuna interrogates and executes a girl from Kamihama who stumbled upon their location and was a member of the organization known as Neo-Magius. Hikaru assists with the disposal of the body, and the group, which also includes Juri Oba and Ao Kasane, discusses their recent reconnaissance. Yuna reports that the Kamihama Magical Girls appear ignorant of the Promised Blood's motives, and Hikaru confirms they are strong enough to provide a challenge for Juri.

Fourth Day:

• During this time, Kagome speaks with Kyubey. She refuses to answer his requests, stating she made a promise with an old scholar and another entity. Her mission is to record and spread the knowledge of Magical Girls to the world.
• Elsewhere in Kamihama, Shizuka Tokime becomes trapped in a train station gate, unable to exit because her transit card lacks funds. Her companions, Chiharu Hiroe and Sunao Toki, attempt to instruct her on how to use the fare adjustment machine, and Chiharu leaves to find a station attendant to help them.

• Kagome observes growing unrest in Kamihama, noting the arrival of foreign Magical Girls, the mysterious bracelet, and the rising sense of unease across the city.
• Yachiyo, Tsukuyo, and Tsukasa visit Mifuyu to check on her. While there, Yachiyo and Mifuyu discuss the increase in hostile Magical Girls from outside Kamihama and Iroha’s bracelet. Mifuyu suggests having Touka and Nemu examine it.
• Meanwhile, Promised Blood, led by Yuna, Juri, Ao, and Hikaru, interrogates a captured Kamihama Magical Girl to gather information. Frustrated by the resilience of the city’s Magical Girls, Yuna orders Hikaru to scout Kamihama for targets.
• Later, while grocery shopping to avoid an impromptu spicy dinner by Tsuruno, Iroha and Ui encounter Shizuka, Chiharu and Sunao struggling to pay at a register. Iroha helps them, and after learning they are new to the city, they offer to show them around and agree to meet again the next day.
• That evening, Yachiyo asks Iroha to take the bracelet to Touka and Nemu for inspection. Iroha explains she already plans to help Shizuka, Chiharu and Sunao, so Sana agrees to accompany Ui to ensure her safety instead.

Fifth Day:

• Ui, Sana, Tsuruno, and Felicia meet up with Shizuka, Sunao, and Chiharu. Tsuruno hears the three needs to get used to crowds fast, so she suggests heading to Kamihama's busiest spot, ya packed city center. Shizuka and Chiharu struggle at first, with Chiharu feeling nauseous from all the people. But after a bit, Shizuka pushes through, and they all enjoy food together. They then head to a clothing district, but Chiharu remains unwell, so they decide to go to a large park in western Sakae Ward, which Sana believes will have few people.
• Iroha and Yachiyo visit Touka and Nemu to have Iroha's bracelet examined. The analysis requires the use of the Eternal Sakura Uwasa, which in turn requires the presence of Iroha, Touka, Nemu, and Ui together. As Ui is absent, the analysis is postponed, but during the visit, Nemu reveals she created one final, unaccounted-for Rumor during her confrontation with Holy Alina, but she cannot detect it despite its existence being recorded in her book.
• Elsewhere, Mifuyu meets with Tsukuyo and Tsukasa to discuss that a faction of former Wings of the Magius Feathers has begun mobilizing again, operating secretly at night. Mifuyu is concerned that this faction is acting against them despite sharing the same goal of liberating Magical Girls. They decide to also meet with Kanagi and Mitama to discuss the situation.
• In an unknown location, Juri had interrogated a captive Neo-Magius Feather and learns that the captive's allies are gathering at a massive radio telescope in the mountains to seek backup. Yuna and the other sisters deduce they are likely meeting with a strategic leader and decide to target this gathering.
• At Kanagi's cafe, Mifuyu informs Kanagi about the mobilizing Feathers and Kanagi agrees to accompany Mifuyu to meet Mitama, Tsukuyo and Tsukasa after she finishes her shift.
• At the park, Ui receives a message from Iroha, requesting she come to see the Eternal Sakura. The group discusses Chiharu's nausea in crowds and Chiharu reveals she can sense people's malice, which overwhelms her in dense areas. Tsuruno deduces that the three of them are Magical Girls, which they also confirm. They explain they came to Kamihama from their secluded village and Shizuka expresses relief at finding friendly Magical Girls in the city.
• Suddenly, the Tokime Clan senses a powerful magical presence they mistake for a Witch. Ui identifies it as the same kind of unknown entity her team fought before and warns them it is a severe threat. Despite the warning, the Tokime Clan insists on confronting it to purify the land of Japan and help Chiharu. Ui reveals she can sense its location and the seven Maical Girls decide to pursue it. They encounter the Uwasa of the Memory Curator and its Familiars along the way, and the Tokime Clan initially fights alone but are overwhelmed, so the others intervene to assist. After a difficult battle, Shizuka delivers the killing blow to the "Witch," Obedient - Ruby Navel.
• The entity does not drop a Grief Seed and instead, a bracelet appears on Shizuka's wrist, just like it did with Iroha. The Tokime Clan speculates the bracelet, which contains powerful magic, is the object they have been tasked to collect. Tsuruno also connects this to the earlier attack by the Futatsugi girls, who were also seeking these bracelets, but the reason why multiple groups are collecting the bracelets remains unknown to them.
• Yuna and Promised Blood detect a powerful magic signature in eastern Kamihama, so Yuna and Hikaru plan to defeat the leaders of Kamihama's Magical Girls while the other two sisters are tasked with securing the source of the strong magical power.
• Elsewhere, Mifuyu, Mitama, and other veteran Magical Girls discuss the resurgence of the Wings of the Magius. Mitama reveals that the new faction's motivation is not just liberation, but "Magical Girl Supremacy," an ideology they inherited from Touka. Mifuyu also fears Touka and Nemu will also be targeted for kidnapping to advance this goal.
• Iroha and Yachiyo are with Touka and Nemu when members of the new Wings of the Magius, wearing new uniforms, arrive. They declare their intent to fulfill Touka's ideals, which they define as more than just liberation.
• Meanwhile, the Tokime Clan explains to Ui, Tsuruno, Sana, and Felicia that their goal is not the bracelet itself, but the powerful magic contained within it. They state their objective is to acquire a share of Kamihama's Automatic Purification System for their village and that this information came from Kyubey.
• Separately, Kagome searches the mountains, as she hears the voices of Magical Girls.

• The Tokime state that Kyubey told them they could obtain a part of the Automatic Purification System by gathering strong magic in Kamihama. The others are alarmed by Kyubey's involvement and Ui receives a message from Iroha indicating that Touka and Nemu are in danger, prompting the entire group to head to help them.
• Iroha, Yachiyo, Touka, and Nemu are confronted by the new faction calling themselves the Neo-Magius, who have inherited the ideals of Touka and Nemu. Their goal is to seize the Automatic Purification System, the power of which they sense within Iroha's bracelet, and restrict its use to their followers. Touka and Nemu acknowledge these are their past ideas but the Neo-Magius have distorted them.
• Juri and Ao are also tracking the strong magical energy signal in the same eastern direction and they observe members of the Neo-Magius. They decide to follow them to the source of the power rather than confront them directly.
• Elsewhere, Momoko, Rena, and Kaede meet with Tsukuyo and Tsukasa. The Amane sisters report that the Neo-Magius are heading for the radio telescope. They also report detecting numerous magical reactions from Magical Girls not native to Kamihama, who are gathering in the area. The group agrees to investigate this gathering together.
• Ryo and Ikumi arrive, searching for Karin. Ikumi explains that Karin ran off after learning the new Wings of the Magius tried to recruit her, believing it could be a clue to Alina's whereabouts. Momoko invites Ryo and Ikumi to join their investigation.
• The Neo-Magius members, Shigure Miyabi and Hagumu Azumi, attempt to persuade Touka and Nemu to lead their faction, but they refuse again and Nemu also deduces that the pair's true motive is a desire to use their Magical Girl status to escape their own misery and gain self-worth. Iroha tries to empathize with them, but Shigure and Hagumu reject her perspective and attempt to kidnap Touka and Nemu by force.

• Iroha and Yachiyo give chase through the forest while Sakurako holds off other Neo-Magius members. As Iroha and Yachiyo urge the pair to stand down, Yuna and Hikaru arrive and Yuna reveals they were given the location by a Neo-Magius member they previously captured and killed. Yuna and Hikaru declare their intent to eliminate Touka and Nemu, and to take Iroha's bracelet, even if it requires severing her arm. Faced with this new threat, Shigure and Hagumu resolve to fight alongside Iroha and Yachiyo to protect Touka and Nemu.
• At the radio telescope, a separate group of Magical Girls, including Juri and Ao enter a Labyrinth containing a powerful Uwasa of the Chelation Land Ferris Wheel. They also encounter a group of Neo-Magius members and Juri's group proposes a temporary truce to defeat the Uwasa, which they believe holds the powerful energy they seek. After a joint battle, the Uwasa is defeated but the Labyrinth remains. Juri's group then turns on the Neo-Magius, revealing they are from Futatsugi City and hold a deep grudge against Kamihama Magical Girls, specifically those carrying on the legacy of the Wings of the Magius.
• At the same time, the battle between Iroha's group and the Futatsugi blood sisters intensifies. Yuna and Hikaru overpower Iroha, Yachiyo, Shigure, and Hagumu. Yuna prepares to execute Touka and Nemu for their role as the Magius, but reinforcements led by Mifuyu and Kanagi arrive, including Tsuruno, Felicia, Sana, and Ui. Shizuka, Chiharu, and Sunao of the Tokime Clan also arrive and are shocked by the infighting, but Shizuka declares solidarity with her friends in Kamihama.

• The battle between the Kamihama and Futatsugi Magical Girls reaches a stalemate and Iroha pleads for an end to the fighting. Hikaru convinces Yuna to stand down and Kanagi uses her magic to read Hikaru's heart, learning the Futatsugi group lost many companions. Yuna reveals the cause of their grudge, that the Wings of the Magius' plan to gather Witches in Kamihama to create Eve caused a Witch famine in Futatsugi City. This in turn led to a violent conflict among Futatsugi's Magical Girls over the scarce Grief Seeds, an event they call the Bloody Tragedy. Yuna states her friends died needlessly because of the Magius' actions and declares that Promised Blood's goal is to seize the Automatic Purification System as a form of atonement from Kamihama.
• Back inside the Labyrinth, the group of Magical Girls led by Juri and Ao defeat the entity behind the Uwasa, Oscillating - Aquamarine Heel. They acquire a bracelet from the being, which ties itself to Juri and they decide to pursue another strong magical signal.
• At the radio telescope, Iroha attempts to reconcile with Yuna. She apologizes for the suffering the Magius caused Futatsugi and asks Yuna to help them expand the Automatic Purification System globally. Yuna rejects the apology and the proposal, stating that Promised Blood now has more reason to seize the system by force.
• Shizuka intervenes, identifying herself as a Magical Girl from Tokime Village and condemning Yuna's plan for revenge as foolish. She reveals herself as being from Tokime Village in Kirimine Town. She explains her clan has a long-standing tradition of serving and protecting the Land of the Rising Sun as Magical Girls. However, the clan's leadership betrayed them by selling their souls to powerful political figures and concealing the truth that Magical Girls become Witches. To manage this, the village executed Magical Girls before they could Witch out, under the guise of a coming-of-age ritual. With the village leader now gone, the Tokime Clan has reclaimed their settlement and they came to Kamihama after learning from Kyubey about the Automatic Purification System, which they need to prevent their members from becoming Witches. Shizuka states they wish to obtain this power to continue protecting the nation, calling Promised Blood's quest for revenge wasteful.
• Both Promised Blood and the Neo-Magius reject this proposal. Yuna insists on their path of revenge, while Hagumu reveals their goal is to use the system to create a society where Magical Girls rule at the top of humanity. Iroha resolves to protect the Automatic Purification System by collecting the bracelets, which contain great amounts of energy. She deduces a connection between the bracelets, Ui, and Lil' Kyubey, as they were the first to sense the mysterious power. Touka confirms Iroha's theory, revealing the bracelets are crystallized pieces of Eve, that once had Ui as its core before Lil' Kyubey temporarily replaced it. Nemu classifies these new entities as "Kimochi," crystals of condensed individual emotions ejected from Eve's body after Lil' Kyubey became the core, as Incubators do not possess emotions.
• The Kimochi Bracelets contain the original energy of the Automatic Purification System and Touka and Nemu state this energy is the key to expanding the system's range globally, fulfilling the goal of saving all Magical Girls. Yuna and the Futatsugi girls interpret this as a declaration of war, as it directly opposes their goal of destroying the system. Despite Mifuyu's plea for cooperation, Yuna refuses and prepares to leave. Iroha proposes that the leaders of the various factions, those being herself, Yuna, Shizuka, and Shigure, formally consolidate their information on how to control the Automatic Purification System. They agree to have Touka act as an intermediary to pose their questions to Kyubey, who is unable to enter Kamihama City.
• In a separate location, Karin confronts members of Promised Blood, demanding information about the cloaked Neo-Magius and Alina Gray. Juri becomes hostile upon hearing Alina's name and interrogates Karin, suspecting she has ties to the Magius due to her connection with Alina Gray. Karin, visibly terrified, states she only knows Alina as a former classmate and knows nothing of her as a Magius. The Futatsugi girls determine she is not lying and tell her to leave. Momoko's team arrives to rescue Karin and a battle erupts between the two groups in the forest.
• Elsewhere, Lavi observes the situation and ponders discussing this with Livia, while Kagome and Aru observe the situation themselves. Additionally, elsewhere Kagome watches the magical lights of the battle from the forest, lamenting the conflict, and she is urged by Aru to follow the main groups.
• In Touka's lab, members of the factions meet and Iroha, Yuna, Shizuka, and Shigure, representing their respective factions, enter a meeting with Kyubey to formally establish the rules for controlling the Automatic Purification System. Touka establishes a one-way communication link, allowing them to see Kyubey while he cannot see them. He confirms he informed various groups about Kamihama's Automatic Purification System because they had a need for it.
• Iroha presents the Kimochi Bracelet and asks if its energy can control the system. Kyubey confirms it is theoretically possible, and though he cannot verify the bracelet's nature from outside Kamihama, he endorses Touka's analysis that the bracelets contain the dispersed emotional energy of Eve. He explains that while the Automatic Purification System currently only harvests energy, possessing the physical Kimochi Stones would grant ownership and the ability to reshape the system. He states a single bracelet is insufficient, and that the exact number required is unknown, thus the collection of Kimochi Bracelets is the objective for controlling the system.
• Yachiyo and Nemu confront Kyubey about his motives and he admits his goal is to instigate conflict between the Magical Girl factions. He explains that the Doppel System, while extending a Magical Girl's life, still generates the phase shift energy he harvests from the transition of hope to despair. By having the girls fight, he can conduct an experiment to see if fewer Magical Girls can produce the same amount of energy over a longer period, as he views individual deaths as inconsequential for the success of his experiment.
• He explains that his race acts to counteract universal entropy and prevent the heat death of the universe. They discovered that the emotional energy generated when a young girl falls into despair after having a wish granted is an extremely efficient energy source. Magical Girls are specifically cultivated to produce this energy upon their transformation into Witches.

• In the forest, the Futatsugi girls decide to retreat from their battle, but as they withdraw, Rena and Kaede pursue them against Momoko's orders. Juri unleashes a powerful sea of fire attack and Karin pushes Kaede out of the way of the attack, being engulfed by the flames herself. Karin survives the attack, but the attack causes her Doppel to manifest, with their and first witnessed emergence of a Doppel shocking the Futatsugi group.
• At the lab, the conference with Kyubey concludes and Iroha and Yachiyo propose that the factions cooperate to spread the Automatic Purification System worldwide, which would also end Kyubey's experiment. Yuna rejects this offer and she and Hikaru leave, however the Tokime agree to an alliance. Shizuka formally shakes hands with Iroha to seal their partnership. Shigure and Hagumu are non-committal and Nemu advises them to consider cooperation, but they leave to deliberate.
• Meanwhile, after Karin's Doppel dissipates, she survives but is left weakened. Juri and Ao formally identify themselves as the second and third sisters of Promised Blood. Juri gives Momoko a Grief Seed as an apology, noting she did not intend to kill Karin, and the Promised Blood sisters then retreat.
• Near the lab, Kagome, who has been secretly observing the conference inside the radio telescope, hears Iroha declare the beginning of their fight. As Iroha's group prepares to leave, Nemu confronts Kagome, having detected her presence. Kagome reveals she is compiling a record about Magical Girls to help the world understand them and she uses Aru to explain that Kagome herself began this project after being saved by Iroha and subsequently meeting a kindly man knowledgeable about Magical Girls.
• Nemu identifies Kagome as the host for the last Uwasa she created, the "Uwasa of the Wind Evangelist." Nemu explains she created this Uwasa to spread public awareness of Magical Girls, an act that cost her the use of her legs during the final battle. The Uwasa's magical signature is so weak that only Nemu and the Eternal Sakura had sensed its continued existence. Kanagi suggests they continue the conversation while escorting Kagome home and, as the group departs, Touka expresses suspicion about the identity of the "kindly man" who inspired Kagome.
• Kagome explains how she fused with the Uwasa, "Rii." She describes a moment of despair over her inability to compile records on Magical Girls, after which she heard voices that resonated with her desire to help them and this event led to her fusion with the Wind Evangelist. Nemu theorizes that because she created this Uwasa during her battle with Alina, its creation was unstable, which resulted in a symbiotic relationship where Kagome acts to support Magical Girls and the Uwasa protects her and gathers information. Iroha reassures Kagome that her intentions are good and encourages her to continue her work.
• Mitama arrives, concerned about the group's whereabouts, and they notify her that they plan to convene all the Magical Girls of Kamihama for a larger discussion. As Mitama and Kanagi prepare to leave, Mitama suddenly reacts to a presence she recognizes. Three new Magical Girls appear: Livia Medeiros, Yozuru Sasame, and Sudachi Sawa. They introduce themselves as members of "Puella Care," a group of neutral Coordinators who have been sent to Kamihama by Kyubey after they learned of Mitama's broken neutrality. Livia warns Mitama that aligning with a faction will not fulfill her desires.
• After Puella Care depart, Kanagi suggests that eliminating the neutral Coordinators could be a path to peace, but Sana doubts it would be so simple. Mitama explains that the Coordinators' neutrality, while sowing conflict, has also saved many Magical Girls and Yachiyo also advises against provoking them.
• In Promised Blood's base, Juri tells the other leaders of the group that she's acquired a Kimochi Bracelet. Juri demonstrates that it can be transferred if one is willing to offer their life to another, successfully giving hers to Yuna as a sign of their pact as sisters. The group then decides to return to Futatsuki City to report their progress to Janomiya.
• Within the Tokime Clan, Sunao, Chiharu, and Shizuka discuss their recent findings, having learned that not all Magical Girls share their specific purpose of fighting for Japan. Though they're disheartened by this revelation, they realize their clan's maintained pride is a miracle and that they should work to spread their ideals.
• Within the Neo-Magius, Shigure and Hagumu witness the mass departure of their members. The remaining members state that weaklings banding together only form a weak crowd and that the group is no longer necessary for strong Magical Girls or those who can live normal lives. Shigure and Hagumu, both social outcasts who found solace only in each other, are left alone and they console each other, deciding to go home to sleep and forget their troubles.
• That evening at Mikazuki Villa, Tsuruno, Felicia, Yachiyo, and Sana discuss the day's events, feeling manipulated by Kyubey again. In Iroha's room, Ui tells Iroha that she is scared. She has realized that the Kimochi are fragments of Eve and that her connection to Lil' Kyubey allows her to sense them. Downstairs, Yachiyo is on the phone and learns from Momoko that Karin suffered severe burns but is not in mortal danger. Yachiyo decides to regroup everyone to ensure they can protect themselves.
• Kagome laments that the Magical Girls, despite their shared destiny, are entangled in human conflict due to differing pasts and ideologies. She pleads for the world to know and understand these girls who protect everyone while fighting for their own salvation.
• In the Satomi Medical Center, Alina states that a collision is unavoidable and that only "we" know the final outcome. She remarks that her "art" has been delivered. Later, Karin is greeted by Alina in her hospital bed.

Sixth Day:

• Nanaka meets Hazuki at a cafe to share information. Hazuki provides a report from the Union detailing that the city is being targeted by three external groups: Promised Blood, the Tokime Clan, the Neo-Magius, as well as outsider Coordinators. These groups seek to acquire the Automatic Purification System and are searching for powerful energy sources called "Kimochi." Hazuki reveals Promised Blood has already killed one Magical Girl in Kamihama, and their motive is revenge against the former Wings of the Magius, but they target all Kamihama Magical Girls by association. Hazuki confirms her team will not join the Union, believing it makes them a target and Nanaka states that while her team is not joining, it is time to formulate a response to the escalating threat.
• Akira, Kako, and Ayame discuss the escalating attacks on Union members and Ayame reveals Felicia was injured and Kaede's team was hospitalized. Akira announces her decision to ask Nanaka for permission to join the Union as an individual, not as a team, to act as a bridge between the Union and her own team, with the belief that this is the best way to protect her friends. Ayame, inspired by Akira, resolves to speak with Konoha and Hazuki about her desire to help Felicia, even if she cannot officially join the Union. Akira encourages her, stating that family-like teammates may offer a different solution.
• Kako feels conflicted about joining the Magia Union, as she does not have a strong personal desire to join and fears she would only be following others. She also doubts her ability to stand against Nanaka's persuasive, logical arguments, but Akira and Ayame reassure Kako that her ongoing deliberation is acceptable, as the situation does not yet require an immediate decision.
• At Walnut's, Konoha reflects on the threat from Promised Blood and considers leaving Kamihama to protect her sisters. She discusses this with Manaka, who states she would help a friend in danger despite family worries.
• Meiyui meets with Hinano, the southern leader of Kamihama Magia Union. She explains her team's non-participation is a strategic choice to observe the large, rapidly-formed organization's stability and questions Hinano on how the Union handles external threats, non-members, and potential defectors. Hinano confirms the Union operates on mutual aid and would not abandon non-members in a crisis, though members receive priority. Meiyui concludes that joining the Union may be necessary to gain internal information and mitigate risks if the organization collapses under external pressure. She decides to propose to Nanaka that at least one team member join while the rest maintain a strategic distance.
• In the evening, Nanaka concludes her meeting with Hazuki and explains her long-held belief that the Union is indeed necessary, however she has chosen to remain an external observer to maintain an objective view, believing that internal members can become complacent and that external support is needed if problems arise from within. Nanaka also reveals that the hostile arrival of outsider Magical Girls has changed the situation and that members of her own team have expressed a desire to join the Union. She informs Hazuki of her team's new decision is indeed to join Kamihama Magia Union as a full team.

• Hazuki returns home to Konoha and Ayame and, after a meal from Walnut's, Ayame confirms that she will not join the Union but expresses her desire to be able to help Felicia and others if they are in trouble. Konoha agrees and only asks that Ayame promises to consult with her before jumping into any dangerous situations. Konoha also reminds Hazuki not to overwork herself with information gathering and to share her burdens.

Seventh Day:

• Nanaka's team meets in an abandoned building to decide their official stance on Kamihama Magia Union. Akira reiterates her desire to join as an individual to act as a bridge and Meiyui states her intent to join to gather internal information and mitigate risks if the Union collapses. Kako herself admits she is still undecided and Nanaka announces the team's new policy: the team itself will not join Kamihama Magia Union, but individual members are now permitted to join if they wish. She sets conditions that members must maintain their independent thought and act in the best interests of the team and their loved ones.
• Akira and Meiyui arrive at Mikazuki Villa to formally join Kamihama Magia Union and they clarify to Iroha and Yachiyo that they join as individuals, not as representatives of their full team and that Nanaka and Kako still remain outside the Union. Akira relays a message from Nanaka expressing a desire for continued mutual cooperation and Yachiyo and Iroha respond in kind, formally welcoming Akira and Meiyui into the Union.
• Meanwhile, Kako separately resolves that when she must finally decide, she will choose a path that helps everyone she cares for and allows her to stand alongside them.

Another Story Chapter 2

These days likely take place during the undated period before Part 2 starts, or otherwise early in Part 2.

Supplemental Day 1:

• At Mikazuki Villa, Iroha sends a message to invite Shigure and Hagumu to a dinner party to celebrate getting the second Kimochi Stone. Shigure receives the message at the Neo-Magius headquarters. Hagumu, having just left her club activities early due to stress, instead meets with Shigure. While walking outside, they are approached by Juri, who questions them about a rumor she heard from Livia about collaboration between Promised Blood and Eastern Kamihama Magical Girls. They deny knowing anything, and Juri figures the rumors arose from Juri being seen with Shigure and Hagumu, who themselves are Eastern Kamihama Magical Girls.
• Shigure and Hagumu meet with Kanagi at her cafe to discuss this rumor. She is unaware of such an issue, and before long has to return for her shift, so she has them wait outside until she's done. After she's out, Kanagi decides to take them to visit several Eastern Magical Girls themselves. They visit Himika, then Ryo, then Mito, Seika and Reira, and in the end Chiaki, deciding to leave the others for some other day. Each of the girls they visit are glad Shigure and Hagumu are okay after they'd disappeared once joining the Wings of the Magius.
• They're surprised the others don't resent Shigure and Hagumu, and Kanagi flicks their foreheads playfully as "payback." She invites them to freely reintegrate and befriend the rest of the Union. Kanagi then gathers other Eastern Magical Girls to organize a "Welcome Home" party for the two, and after discussing the best way among themselves, they decide to hold it in a park.
• Kanagi organizes everyone into different teams, to gather supplies, food, find a good location, etc. Once the party is fully organized and in progress, Shigure admits to Hagumu that she doesn't want to be part of the Union, nor did she want a party. Shigure and Himika bond over not having one of their parents, and Seika tries to awkwardly befriend Hagumu with a cookie and standup routine. Later, Kanai tells Shigure and Hagumu that the situation for Eastern Magical Girls has changed since the formation of the Magia Union.

Supplemental Day 2:

• Juri summons Shigure and Hagumu again to press for information, pretending she knew they went back to Kamihama, so they'd be unable to lie in the event they did go. They explain the East-West conflict has subsided on the side of Magical Girls after the formation of the Union. Telepathically, they converse and agree with each other that they shouldn't tell Juri that the Union is working with another group, the Tokime. Before she leaves, Juri threatens them to not try anything against her or Promised Blood.
• Shigure and Hagumu discuss their decision and resolve to remain with the Union for the time being. Shigure gets another text from Iroha, inviting them to a dinner party, and they decide to accept her repeated invitations.

New Mirrors Ranking Held!

• Mitama and Meguru prepare for the Mirrors Ranking event while stacking boxes, with Mitama recognizing Meguru by her energetic commentary voice. Mitama explains she is only accepting urgent adjustments due to preparations, and Meguru excitedly looks forward to commentating the biggest Mirrors event yet, which will be open to Magical Girls outside Kamihama with modified scoring rules and generous prizes. Meguru confirms the core rules remain unchanged so veterans will not be confused, and Mitama approves her plan to interview participants for promotional commentary.
  • Livia and Yozuru discuss the event, and Yozuru informs Juri's group about the prohibition against cheating. Juri and Ranka express interest in testing their skills against copies, while Hikaru decides to consult Yuna first. Yozuru also informs Hagumu and Shigure, overcoming their reluctance by highlighting Hagumu's Witch-hunting ability and the potential rewards, and the two agree to participate together.
  • Meguru conducts interviews with Kamihama Magia Union members and then the Tokime Clan. Iroha vows to aim for top rank, supported by Yachiyo, while other members share their motivations. When Iroha mentions the Tokime Clan, Meguru immediately sets off to interview them. Chiharu eagerly anticipates meeting other Magical Girls, Shizuka and Sunao see value in observing different combat styles, and Ryoko bursts in declaring her intention to claim the top rank, inspiring the group with her determination.
• The next day, participants gather for the event. Sudachi communicates with Yozuru through her own speech, and Mitama notes the successful turnout while Meguru delivers hype commentary previewing the tournament's drama. Meguru announces Mitama's official opening of the Mirrors Ranking to massive cheers from the assembled Magical Girls.

Part 2

The second part of the story of Arc 2 encompasses Chapter 2, and Chapter 3. A few days are noted to have passed since the fifth day of Part 1 and it is unknown if its next two days intersect with any of the days from Part 2.

First Day:

• The Kimochi are now recognized as energy cores scattered from the remains of the Embryo Eve, which possess the same energy needed for the Automatic Purification System. All the factions of Magical Girls discuss between themselves on how to collect them before their enemies.

Second Day:

• Felicia interrupts the tension by telling the rest of Mikazuki about the "Decagon Ball Stamp Rally," a public event offering a group ticket to Moo-Moo Farm as a prize. She desperately wants to participate, but Yachiyo refuses due to security concerns for Ui.
• At Ryushin, Iroha gives the rest of the Union Touka's report about the Kimochi and also tells them what they know about the other factions. They decide they must collect the Kimochi, but they're at an impasse as Ui would be in danger if she's spotted.
• On the way home, Iroha has the idea to use the Stamp Rally as a coverup to allow Ui to search for he Kimochi. She also wonders if the Tokime, as well as the Neo-Magius would be willing to help. The group decides to have Yachiyo and Tsuruno help Touka and Nemu move their base, and in the end they'll all reconvene at Moo-Moo Farm.
• At Mitama's Shop, Kanagi gets a call from Hinano, where she's notified about the rally and asking her to help Yachiyo win the tickets to Moo-Moo Farm.
• Meanwhile, Yuna and Juri briefly return to Futatsugi to recruit new allies and confirm that Witches are reappearing in their home territory now that the Magius are no longer capturing them. They leave Hikaru and Ao in Kamihama to keep watch of their enemies.
• That night, Kagome gets a message from Yachiyo detailing the plan as well.

Third Day:

• Mikazuki Villa, along with members of the Tokime Clan, Shigure, Hagumu and Kagome, participate in the stamp rally across Kamihama. Ui decides to stay out of the event and just watch from the sidelines instead. Meanwhile, Yachiyo, Tsuruno and Mifuyu help Touka and Nemu move their base of operations.
• In Futatsugi, Yuna talks to a Magical Girl who just moved to the city. As she agreed to join, Yuna has decided to test her soon. Juri also reports that Witches are indeed returning to the city and the two decide to return to Kamihama.
• At the rally, Mikazuki collect stamps for Felicia while Hikaru and Ao observe them from a distance atop a building.
• Meanwhile, Shizuka, Chiharu and Sunao await at the farm themselves, awaiting Iroha's call. Se soon calls them and lets them know they will be there soon when they get a few more stamps.
• By late afternoon, Hikaru and Ao follow Mikazuki on the train, suspecting the stamp rally is a diversion. The Mikazuki team, aware they are being followed, pretend to be oblivious until the end of the rally. As they meets with the Tokime at Moo-Moo Farm, Ui senses the Kimochi in the nearby Hokuyo mountains and that it has less magic than the previous one.
• As Hikaru and Ao attempt to leave, Yachiyo, Mifuyu, and Tsuruno ambush them with the intent to capture them. Iroha suddenly gets a call from Momoko, who lets her know that Karin is now allowed visitors in the hospital. After Iroha ends the call, a battle ensues as the teams surround Hikaru and Ao.

• The two are overwhelmed in the battle, but manage to hold their own until they're saved by the arrival of Yuna and Juri. As Promised Blood escape, Shizuka orders Asahi, who's in a hidden location, to intimidate them with her sniper. She shoots and Hikaru manages to block the bullets with her body, and Promised Blood reluctantly retreats.
• At their Kamihama base, the others help Hikaru pull the bullets out of her, thankful that they're shallow wounds. Yuna comes to the realization that they will need connections in Kamihama after all. Due to this, Juri locates Hagumu and Shigure, who have recently joined the Union but still feel powerless. Juri intimidates and forces them into a battle which she easily wins. Afterwards, she makes them become informants for Promised Blood, demanding their knowledge of Kamihama, specifically the Hokuyo area, in exchange for not harming them.
• At the Satomi Medical Center, Momoko visits Karin and Alina, who appears to have amnesia. Momoko suspects it is a ruse to avoid responsibility for her past actions, but Alina states she has chosen to remain in the hospital because her "opus," which Karin implies is herself, is there.
• As the Mikazuki group and the Tokime return home after somewhat narrowing down the Kimochi's location, they learn that Alina is in the hospital and now has amnesia. However, even the Tokime are suspicious of this. Suddenly, Asahi appears and introduces herself to everyone, letting them know she was the one who shot at Promised Blood at Moo-Moo Farm earlier. She offers to help Ui find the Kimochi, since she can see clearly at night, but they refuse, as Ui cannot find the Kimochi in this darkness regardless.
• With no other options, Shizuka invites the others to have dinner at the Suitoku Temple nearby. The two teams bond together through their shared interests, where Chiharu tells Tsuruno and Felicia about Detective Todoroki, and Sana tells Sunao about Mr. Purrs-a-lot. In the end, they agree to go back looking for the Kimochi the next day after school.
• At their base, Promised Blood discuss among themselves and decide their best bet is to try and get the Kimochi in the Hokuyo forests. Yuna decides she will use her magic to cause a distraction in Kamihama so they can gain the upper hand.
• In her room, Kagome decides that besides the Union, she also needs to interview Yuna and her group tomorrow.

Fourth Day:

• With intel from the girl in Kamihama, Yuna decides to visit Karin in the hospital. Kagome trails Yuna with Rii's help and suddenly gets a text from Iroha, who tells her she will look for the Kimochi after visiting Karin herself. Yuna approaches Kagome before she can reply and Kagome asks Yuna if she can follow after her to record Promised Blood. Yuna allows Kagome to follow her, but she tells her she won't wait for Kagome to catch up. Meanwhile, outside school, Juri makes Shigure and Hagumu give her a tour of the Hokuyo mountain area.
• While Mikazuki and other members of the Union visit Karin in the hospital, Hikaru spreads stones on the trains on the north of Kamihama. Yuna has used her unique magic of Target Redirection on ordinary stones imbued with magical energy throughout the night. To Magical Girls sensing the area, it would appear as though a massive army of hundreds of Magical Girls is invading the city.
• Sakurako examines Alina's head, but her magic returns the same reaction as before, meaning that she can't tell whether Alina is lying or not. They discuss the possibility of stopping Alina from transforming, but Sakurako refuses to hold her accountable if she's really lost her memory. The girls soon depart and Karin promises to try and rehabilitate Alina.
• Three trains with the imbued stones head for Shinsei-Chuo, Daito Hall and Minaminagi Seaside Park. Promised Blood's plan works, with Tsuruno, Felicia, the Amane sisters, and Hinano all reporting a sudden, overwhelming influx of magical signatures entering Kamihama. The Union and their allies are forced to divert their attention and manpower to these perceived invasion points to defend the city.
• This diversion leaves Iroha and Yachiyo with minimal support to search for the Hokuyo Kimochi. They decide to continue the search with a small team, and the Tokime Clan in Suitoku Temple also decide to assist in the Kimochi hunt after Shizuka gets a message from Iroha.

• Yuna's diversion is successful and many Union members detect what appears to be a massive invasion train. They converge on Central Ward to investigate, but the "invading Magical Girls" are revealed to be a trick. Hikaru acts as a decoy to keep them occupied, until Yozuru appears and stops the fighting, letting them know that fighting in a Coordinator's area is prohibited.
• Simultaneously, in the crater left behind by Hotel Fendt Hope in the Hokuyo mountains, Iroha and Shizuka's team is ambushed by Promised Blood. Yuna, Juri, Ao, and their reinforcements, having used information coerced from Shigure and Hagumu, surround them, now also aware of the Kimochi's location. A pursuit ensues through the forest where Shizuka is wounded by Ao.
• After Kagome briefly stumbles upon Shigure and Hagumu, then leaves, the two decide to deliberately mislead Yuna's forces and provide Iroha's group with a secret escape route, allowing them to flee. Iroha's team successfully escapes the mountains without securing the Kimochi.
• The team catches their breath after running away from Promised Blood, when Sudachi appears and forcefully carries the injured Shizuka all the way to Puella Care. In Central Ward, while Shizuka gets treatment, the teams converge and report on the day's events.

• Promised Blood has scoured and secured the area, but they're still unable to locate its Labyrinth. They realize that the Kimochi they defeated only appeared after Yuna felt powerful emotions. Yuna decides they will simply try again tomorrow and attack the Union some other way. Meanwhile, Yachiyo receives intel from Mifuyu, who deduces that the Kimochi's Labyrinth is located within the ruins of Hotel Fendt Hope, and that all the Kimochi will appear in places previously connected to major Uwasa. Mifuyu proposes a plan to infiltrate the hotel and secure the Kimochi while minimizing direct combat. They will select a team of three to head towards the Kimochi at dawn and suggest a deal for both parties to enter the Labyrinth at once, with whoever defeats the Kimchi being the winner. However, after the negotiations, the team will destroy the stairs in the basement of the chapel, and the Union members will retreat through a hidden passage to trap the Promised Blood members. After Shizuka's attack, the Union decides not to ask the Tokime for help this time.
• In her home, with Rii's help, Kagome is able to understand that the fight is over and everyone is going home.

• Likely during this time, Alexandra tries to infiltrate the Neo-Magius as it faced disbandment. She sees Himena in distress on her own, and upon talking notices her incredible tenacity. With the belief that her strong determination could revive the group, Alexandra recruits Himena for the Neo-Magius.

Chapter 2, Part 5

These two days take place sometime during the third, fourth, or fifth days of Part 2, sometime after Karin's allowed visitors. The first day can either take place during the third, or fourth day, while the second day can either take place on the fourth or fifth day. These events follow Nayuta and Mikage's journey in Kamihama, which for the most part is separate from the other events.

Supplemental Day 1:

• Nayuta Satomi moves into a house prepared by her missing father Tasuke, a folklorist who had been collaborating with her to research and publish a book exposing the truth about Magical Girls to the world. Accompanied by Lavi Himuro, her housekeeper, Nayuta begins her search for her father in Kamihama, a city he indicated was safe for Magical Girls.
• They get a knock from Mikage Yakumo. Despite Nayuta's initial reluctance, Mikage insists on helping with the search, sharing a common goal of wanting the world to acknowledge Magical Girls. Nayuta's first lead is her uncle, the director of Satomi Medical Center, so she goes to talk to him with Mikage. Nayuta is reluctant to ask for his help, as he previously would undermine Tasuke's research, so she takes some rest outside. There, her and Mikage encounter Alina as she's painting. They're then interrupted by Rena and Kaede, whose visit to Karin was postponed after sensing the new magical signatures. They mistakenly believe Nayuta and Mikage are hostile reinforcements for Promised Blood and the ensuing confrontation and chase force them to run away.
• Rena chases them back to where Lavi is waiting for them, but the three manage to escape. At school, Momoko and Tsuruno hear word of this apparent attempt at Alina's life, and so they decide to meet at Banbanzai later to discuss what to do next. Nearby, Sakuya spies on them, and she's confused as Yuna hadn't discussed attacking Alina, and believes Yuna is either hiding something, or someone's using Promised Blood's name.

• Having gotten away from Rena, Nayuta decides to instead find veteran Magical Girls Yachiyo Nanami and Mifuyu Azusa, whom her father had interviewed years earlier. Mikage reveals she knows of them and directs Nayuta and Lavi to a candy store in Sankyo Ward, in the western part of the city. After they eat candy together, Lavi goes back to Nayuta's house so she can get dinner ready. However, Nayuta and Mikage encounter a Witch and assist Rena and Kaede in defeating it, hoping to prove their peaceful intentions. After the battle, Rena and Kaede agree to take Nayuta to Mitama's to meet other Union leaders to vet her. However, Mikage panics at the mention of the Coordinator and runs away. Nayuta chases after her, as she says she can't go to the Coordinator, and says she needs to go to the ocean instead.
• At Banbanzai, the Kamihama Magical Girls discuss the newcomers. Yachiyo and Tsuruno conclude they are not a threat, as they are weak, not coordinated, and targeting Alina would not benefit Promised Blood's primary goal. Yachiyo decides to talk to them, and if anyone sees them to let them know to come to Ryushin.
• By late afternoon, after Mikage calms down, Nayuta respects the fact that she doesn't want to reveal why she can't meet with the Coordinator. Nayuta is shaken with her experiences in Kamihama, concerned about what Promised Blood is. They're suddenly approached by Ranka and reinforcements of Promised Blood, intending to capture the two for having used their group's name. Ranka's group defeats them, also knocking Mikage unconscious and Nayuta reveals that it was a misunderstanding. She tells them that she's a foreigner and Mikage was simply helping her out. Ranka makes Nayuta believe she will kill Mikage, but she stops at the last second. The two feel a powerful surge of magic, and Ranka decides she will still capture the two regardless.
• While Sana, Sunao and Kagome return from the Mr. Purrs-a-lot cafe, as Sana needed someone to accompany her, Rii notifies Kagome that there are other Magical Girls nearby. Sana and Sunao depart to find them and successfully drive away Ranka's team. Sana recognizes the two as the Magical Girls they were told about at Banbanzai, and after hearing Nayuta's side of the story, they decide to take the unconscious Mikage to the Coordinator for treatment.
• Meanwhile, Lavi transforms and fights forces of Promised Blood, declaring they will not misrepresent Promised Blood, nor will she join the conflict at all.
• At the Coordinator's Shop, with other Union and Tokime members, Mitama is shocked when Sana and Sunao bring Mikage, her sister who she didn't know was even a Magical Girl. Nayuta explains that she only met Mikage recently while hunting a Witch, and the two became friends. She also explains her reasons for being in Kamihama is that her father, Tasuke Satomi, told her the city was safe for Magical Girls, and he has gone missing after his last known location was traced there. She reveals they were collaborating on a book to expose the truth about Magical Girls to the world.
• Yachiyo, Shizuka, and Kagome all confirm separate encounters with Tasuke, and the conversation reveals that Nayuta is the cousin of Touka. Touka herself also arrives at that moment, and Nayuta slaps her for having mocked her father's research years earlier. Touka apologizes profusely, admitting her past mistake and stating she now believes in her uncle's work. Separately, Iroha regrets having called Touka over to begin with. Nayuta declares she does not forgive Touka but agrees to a ceasefire for the time being. Mitama apologizes if Mikage caused her any trouble, and before Nayuta leaves to go back to her house, she tells Mitama that Mikage is always welcome to come over.

Supplemental Day 2:

• Mikage visits Nayuta, telling her to hurry up before they head outside, waving goodbye to Lavi.
• Separately, Mitama and Kanagi discuss the difficulty of somehow restraining Mikage and keeping the secret of Mitama's own wish.

Fifth Day:

• Kagome is woken up early by Rii, as multiple Magical Girls are on the move, and she goes to follow them.
• Mifuyu and the Amane sisters enter the area to negotiate with Promised Blood. They propose a contest: the Union will reveal the Labyrinth's location, and both sides will then race to defeat the Kimochi inside, with only three members from each team allowed to enter at a time. Promised Blood, represented by Juri, agrees to the terms.
• As agreed, reinforcements from both sides arrive, balancing their numbers. While Kanagi and Momoko's team wait on standby at the forest, Juri permits them to open the Labyrinth of Fendt Hope. The combined groups proceed into the hotel, with Mifuyu's team guiding Promised Blood through the corridors.
• Meanwhile, Kagome visits Suitoku Temple and talks to Shizuka, letting her know of the Magical Girls on the move. Shizuka realizes her clan is staying inactive and prompts them to go to Fendt Hope and aid the Union regardless of the Union's wishes. The Tokime Clan take off and also carry Kagome with them.
• From outside the Labyrinth, the next groups enter, those being Hikaru, Ao, their team, Kanagi and Momoko's team. Now all fourteen Magical Girls navigate Fendthope together. Afterwards, Mikazuki Villa and other Union members arrive outside the entrance of the Labyrinth.
• The Union team leads Promised Blood to a chapel deep within the Labyrinth, also the designated ambush point. On Mifuyu's signal, the Union members destroy the staircase leading into the chapel, trapping the Promised Blood team inside. However, Promised Blood anticipated this betrayal, and Juri and her team immediately attack, preventing the Union members from fleeing. The trap backfires, leaving both groups confined in the chapel and initiating a direct battle.
• Shizuka's team joins with Iroha's outside the entrance, where they're fighting Yuna, Sakuya, Ranka and their forces. All of them enter the Labyrinth, including Kagome, and the Union team notices that Mifuyu's team isn't coming to help and they realize something must've gone wrong.

• Three battles occur simultaneously. Iroha's team fights the Uwasa of the Queen Bear outside of Hotel Fendt Hope, part of the Union led by Hinano and the Tokime fight Yuna and other members of Promised Blood inside of the hotel, and Mifuyu's and Momoko's teams fight Juri and Ao's teams in the chapel. After the Uwasa is defeated, the Falling - Turquoise Ear Kimochi appears. Shizuka and the Tokime Clan join the battle and she, alongside Felicia defeat it, however the Kimochi Stone is bonded to Felicia. With the Kimochi defeated, all groups decide to retreat from the area and fight again another day.
• At sunset in Suitoku Temple, Shizuka is fully healed, even showing it off to Kagome. Shizuka, Chiharu and Sunao were invited to eat dinner at Mikazuki as a celebration for Shizuka's recovery. Shigure and Hagumu were also invited.
• At their base, Yuna realizes they cannot rely on the emotional triggers to draw the Kimochi out, so they won't be able to locate next Kimochi without Ui. However, she reveals to her sisters and Hikaru that she has a plan to force the Union's hand.

• While shopping for the dinner, Iroha, Yachiyo, Tsuruno, Ui, Shigure, and Hagumu hear cries for help from an alley. They find an unknown Magical Girl, Urara Yume, being harassed by members of Promised Blood. The Union members drive the attackers away and during the confrontation, Tsuruno instructs Shigure and Hagumu to stay back and protect Ui and the rescued girl. However, after the fight, they discover the rescued girl has vanished and Ui has been kidnapped. Shigure and Hagumu confess they were coerced by Promised Blood to act as accomplices, and the "attack" was a ruse to separate Ui from them.
• Afterwards, as Shigure and Hagumu are alone, the Magical Girl Himena Aika appears, mocking them for their weakness, and offers to bring them to the top.
• That night, Livia talks with Kyubey and lets him know about Ui being kidnapped, as well as what all the factions are up to.
• Ui wakes up in an office space in Futatsugi and Promised Blood gives her a map, asking her to indicate all the locations of the Kimochi she discovered during the stamp rally. They give her some time alone to consider and due to the Union's actions, they surmise that they don't know the locations of the Kimochi either. To mitigate risks, Hikaru is sent to conceal traces of them and their base.
• Meanwhile, Shizuka cannot shake the bad feeling left by Yuna's words, which cut deep with their accusation that she is an empty husk who cannot exist without others. Sunao notices something is bothering her and suggests she take a break, worried about the pressure of traveling from the remote mountains to a bustling city. When Shizuka protests they need to help Iroha rescue Ui, Sunao points out that if they are too supportive of Iroha, some branch families will protest. Chiharu arrives with a call from her mother asking them to return to the village, and Shizuka agrees they cannot ignore their mothers. She decides they should return, also giving the other girls a rest, and Chiharu suggests inviting anyone interested in Tokime Village to come along.
• Kagome learns that Ui was abducted by Promised Blood, and elsewhere, Promised Blood members discuss their situation, with Ao worried about incriminating items and Hikaru assigned to reconnaissance. Back at Mikazuki Villa, Iroha wakes early, unable to sleep from worry, as the group prepares to search for Ui without any leads.

Sixth Day:

• The next day, the Union gathers at the Ryushinkan dojo to discuss the situation. Kanagi reports that Promised Blood has not made contact, and Hinano warns they might harm Ui to extract information, though Tsuruno notes that Ui is the only one who can sense the Kimochi without conditions. Felicia grows impatient, but Sana points out they do not know where the base is. Touka and Nemu arrive with a GPS transmitter, proposing they plant it on a Promised Blood member to track their location. Kanagi agrees to handle this in the east with the Amane twins. After the meeting, Kagome confides in Ryo about her struggles as a neutral journalist, and Ryo reassures her that her perspective is valuable.
• Meanwhile, in Tokime Village, Shizuka, Chiharu and Sunao are welcomed by their mothers. Chiharu appreciates the lack of malice, while Shizuka is moved to tears by the unchanged atmosphere. They learn the village now runs an inn and sells local products after losing their income.
• Kanagi meets with Tsukasa and Tsukuyo at the old railway yard, suspecting it might be Promised Blood's base. They encounter Hikaru, who claims she is also investigating them. Kanagi attempts to read her mind to find Ui's location while the twins try to immobilize her, but Hikaru's subordinates interfere and she escapes. However, Kanagi successfully plants the transmitter on her. They search the railway yard but find nothing incriminating, though Kanagi receives word that other Union members also succeeded in placing their transmitters.
• Back in Tokime Village, Shizuka confides that she cannot shake Yuna's words, feeling a fundamental gap between them despite sharing the same pride. Chiharu and Sunao reassure her that their shared feelings matter more. When Shizuka admits her feelings toward Yuna are confusing, Chiharu's mother suggests she might actually hate Yuna, something Shizuka has never experienced before.
• At Mikazuki Villa, Touka begins analyzing the tracking data while everyone eats dinner. The signals show Promised Blood members moving north, contradicting their theory that the base is in the east. They watch as the dots leave Kamihama entirely before the signals are cut off. Touka reveals her surprise was hacking their phones to steal geographical data, and she will use that to pinpoint their location.
• Meanwhile, at the Promised Blood base, Hikaru discovers the transmitter on her clothing and destroys it, but not before the data is captured. Urara brings Ui instant curry and urges her to cooperate, but Ui refuses, saying she would rather die than sacrifice everyone else. Yuna observes that Ui is prepared to die, making threats useless, and decides they need to create an opening instead. She returns Ui's phone with a dead battery, noting the wallpaper photo of her sister, and tells her no one will ever find her there, subtly suggesting she has one way to communicate with the outside world.
• Elsewhere, the girls in Tokime Village are informed that money has been stolen from the communal safe, but they are told to focus on researching Diviners instead of investigating. They visit the site where Shizuka and Chiharu became Magical Girls, and Shizuka explains how the village chief decides wishes in advance for the sake of Japan, a tradition not all families follow.

• That night, Ui sends Lil' Kyubey with a map of the Kimochi locations and a letter explaining she is likely in Futatsugi City. However, Yuna anticipated this and intercepts Lil' Kyubey, taking the map but leaving the letter, hoping it will lure the Union to Futatsugi where they will have the home-field advantage. Lil' Kyubey escapes with the letter.
• In the Tokime Village, Shizuka wanders alone, contemplating how different she is from others. She concludes that as head of the main family, she must lead the clan, but they will never be fully compatible with the Union because her duty to the Tokime Clan comes first.

Seventh Day:

• The next morning, Iroha updates Momoko on their progress: Touka is analyzing the hacked phone data, Yachiyo is investigating where the signals were cut off, and Tsuruno discovered that one of her classmates, a girl named Sakuya, is a Promised Blood member who was present at the battle of Fendt Hope. Yachiyo and Touka investigate the signal cutoff point together and deduce the girls must have entered a Witch's Labyrinth, which would have blocked the signal. Meanwhile, Tsuruno confronts Sakuya directly at school.
• Meanwhile, in the archives of the Tokime clan, Sunao reads worm-like letters that Chiharu cannot, and they find a diary of a former Diviner describing how she protected the village until her Jewel clouded over, at which point she looked forward to the coming of age ceremony that would allow her to leave. Chiharu realizes these girls were tricked and killed, and Shizuka confirms that Diviners were exploited until their powers ran out, their bones resting in the waterfall basin where Shizuka and Chiharu were pushed. Shizuka leads them to the ceremony site, where Diviners were thrown to their deaths dressed in fine clothes, and she carries their regrets to avenge them.
• Later that day, Iroha and Tsuruno chase Sakuya to a quiet area, where Iroha pleads for information about Ui. Sakuya admits she knows where Ui is but insists she isn't obligated to tell them. However, she reveals that she lost her best friend in Futatsugi too, which is why she understands Yuna's pain. She also states she doesn't believe Yuna will kill Ui, and if Yuna ever tries, Sakuya plans to stop it herself.
• Back at Mikazuki Villa, the group discusses Sakuya's words and feels relieved that Ui is still alive. Suddenly, Lil' Kyubey arrives battered and carrying a letter. Sana recognizes the handwriting as belonging to the same person who wrote the Darkrow letters delivered by Mr. Purrs-a-lot, and she decodes it. The letter confirms Ui is in Futatsugi City and includes a map of the Kimochi locations, though Yachiyo realizes the map itself must have already been taken from them. Touka calls to confirm she has located the Promised Blood's base in Futatsugi.
• Meanwhile, elsewhere in Kamihama, Mitama finishes adjusting Mikage, who feels warmer than before. Though Mitama worries about the danger in Kamihama, Mikage insists on helping Nayuta find her father so he can spread the truth about Magical Girls to the world. Mitama reluctantly agrees, asking Nayuta to look after her and keep her out of group conflicts.
• Nayuta brings Mikage to the Satomi Medical Center to speak with Touka's father, hoping he might know where Tasuke is. He confirms he has also been searching for his brother but has found no information, noting that even Touka was influenced by the strange book Tasuke wrote. Before Nayuta can respond, Mikage and Lavi are recruited by Alina to model for a painting, with Mifuyu apologizing for dragging strangers into it. When Nayuta admits her visit was a dead end, Alina observes that Nayuta seems lost and suggests that if you are lost, you can always go back to the entrance.
• Back at home, Nayuta considers Alina's advice and realizes she needs to go through all of her father's documents again for clues she might have missed. Remembering Touka's father mentioning that Touka was influenced by her father's book, Nayuta reluctantly calls her cousin. Despite their strained relationship, Nayuta asks for Touka's help in tracing her father's steps by identifying addresses from sent emails. Touka agrees, admitting that Tasuke is a special person who changed her life too.
• That night in the Tokime village, Chiharu smells malice and they find a man under a Witch's Kiss stealing documents, including the list of Diviners. Shizuka's mother subdues him with a Gaze Locking technique, and the girls rush off to defeat the Witch.
• They defeat the Witch easily thanks to adjustments they received in Kamihama, and afterward Shizuka's mother explains the thief was addicted to gambling and exploited by the Witch. She agrees to teach Shizuka the Gaze Locking technique before she returns to Kamihama tomorrow, as Shizuka has now experienced the strong emotions needed to learn it.

Eighth Day:

• The next morning, Lavi and Nayuta continue sorting through Tasuke's documents and discover pages detailing a visit to Futatsugi City involving Promised Blood, which concerns Nayuta. Ranka overhears them and warns against mentioning Promised Blood carelessly. Though Nayuta fears the girl who attacked her before, she resolves to continue her search, and Lavi suggests asking Mikage about Ranka's school uniform just as Mikage arrives.
• Meanwhile, the Union launches a two-pronged operation: Team Mikazuki and Momoko's group head to Futatsugi to rescue Ui while the south and east teams monitor Promised Blood. However, Yuna's group has already anticipated this and heads to Minaminagi by train, planning to seize the Kimochi there while Iroha's group walks into their trap.

• At the Hospital, Mifuyu checks on Alina, who has just completed a strange painting entirely in blue that Karin realizes is actually multiple canvases connected into one enormous landscape. When Mifuyu asks if this is Endless Mirrors, Alina confirms this is where she is, guided by someone deep within her, though she will not answer when Karin asks who that is.
• Meanwhile, at the Tokime clan's village, Shizuka's mother trains her in Gaze Locking, a technique that conveys strong emotions through eye contact. She demonstrates by making Shizuka's knees give out from fear, then reveals she learned it during an argument with Shizuka's father, much to her daughter's shock. The training continues for hours, with Shizuka's mother pushing her to picture someone she hates. Shizuka focuses on Yuna Kureha, thinking she cannot forgive her.
• Back in Kamihama, Mikage identifies Ranka's school, and after three days of waiting at the gate, Nayuta finally spots her. Ranka apologizes for attacking her and, after Nayuta honestly admits she was frightened by Ranka's Witch-like power, agrees to connect her to Juri. During a phone call at a cafe, Juri recognizes the Satomi name and reveals that Tasuke intervened during a violent dispute between Magical Girls eight months ago, mediating when Promised Blood was about to let people die and knowing far too much about Magical Girls for an ordinary man. Though Juri has no idea where Tasuke is now, Nayuta is relieved to learn this heroic side of her father.
• Touka calls urgently to say Promised Blood has kidnapped her best friend, and Nayuta worries Juri might be using her as bait. Touka reveals the email that led Nayuta to Kamihama was sent from Nayuta's own house in Takarazaki, shocking Nayuta with the realization that her father came home only to disappear again. Though Lavi suggests respecting his wishes, Nayuta refuses to give up, viewing her father as her research partner and finding it unforgivable that he would vanish without saving anything.
• As the sun begins to set, Shizuka finally articulates her answer: the Tokime Clan must carry the wishes of past Diviners, defeat the injustice of becoming Witches, and devote themselves to the Land of the Rising Sun, unlike those who treat Diviners as tools. When her mother pretends to cut up their history to test her, Shizuka masters Gaze Locking, stopping her with a powerful glare. Relieved, Shizuka's mother tells her to return to Kamihama. Shizuka gathers everyone, and Sunao receives a call that Promised Blood seized a Stone in Minaminagi and Ui has not been rescued yet. Asahi asks about their alliance with the Union, and Shizuka admits she was losing her identity as a Tokime and conceding too much, but assures Chiharu they have no reason to fight and must take care of themselves first.
• In Futatsugi, Iroha and her friends find Ui's base empty and are ambushed by Promised Blood. Yuna, Hikaru, and Sakuya arrive with impossible speed, and Hikaru deliberately separates Iroha from the others, chasing her through the city.
• Meanwhile in Minaminagi, the Union team defeats the Uwasa protecting the Kimochi and engages Beauteous Pearl Eye. Promised Blood arrives to join the fight, followed by Himena and Alexandra of Neo-Magius. With everyone joining forces, Ao successfully defeats the Kimochi, which transforms into a bracelet. Shigure and Hagumu remain caught between factions, with both sides demanding they choose soon.
• After their battle in Minaminagi, Juri, Ao, and Ranka discuss their victory. Ao teases Juri for not using her stored magic, and Juri says the Union retreated. Ao quietly thanks her, admitting she now understands why the Ryuugasaki girls look up to Juri despite her violent methods. Suddenly, Ao senses a Kimochi nearby, and despite Ranka's protests, Juri insists they fight it now while things are going their way.

• Meanwhile, throughout the night, Iroha manages to defeat Hikaru and shows her mercy by cleansing her Soul Gem. Yachiyo's group learns from Sakuya that Yuna now intends to kill Ui, forcing them to plan their escape from Futatsugi. Hikaru, confused by Iroha's mercy, warns her that Yuna will not show the same kindness. Yuna, upon learning of Hikaru's failure and Sakuya's betrayal, prepares to lure Iroha to the catacombs and begin making Ui's grave.
• Back in Kamihama, Kagome proposes using Ryo's photographs alongside her writing to inform the public about magical girls. Ryo agrees and decides to investigate a lead from Touka about a point of interest in Daito. Kagome reflects on the day's events: Ao now possesses the Kimochi bracelet, Himena and Alexandra remain enigmatic figures, and the Tokime Clan has returned to their tranquil village, leaving Kagome to wonder what Shizuka has been doing there.
• Having arrived in Kamihama, Shizuka's group also senses the Kimochi and recognizes Promised Blood's magic. Shizuka decides to go after them to get the Stone, prioritizing what the Tokime must accomplish. When Chiharu protests about Ui, Shizuka insists they must carry the thoughts of past Diviners.
• They enter the barrier and are assaulted by the Uwasa of the Flower Speaker, a deafening noise that disorients everyone. Shizuka volunteers to act as a decoy by running into Promised Blood first. As Ao prepares to take the Uwasa's attack and create an opening, Shizuka suddenly attacks her, declaring the Tokime will emerge victorious. Ao argues that if they reclaim the Automatic Purification System, Magical Girls will be freed from their duties, but Shizuka questions whether Ao sees Diviners' duties as merely a burden. She uses Gaze Locking on Ao, paralyzing her with fear.
• Enraged, Juri attacks, and Shizuka welcomes the confrontation, intentionally siccing the Uwasa on Promised Blood. While Ranka shields the frozen Ao, the Tokime strike the Uwasa from its defenseless rear, delivering a powerful blow. The dying Uwasa lashes out violently, breaking their formation, and Promised Blood's grunts pin them down just as the Kimochi, Robust - Opal Head, begins to appear.

• With both groups scattered, Shizuka realizes she is alone against the Kimochi. Juri and Ao attack together but make little progress. Shizuka proposes they fight together or both be wiped out, and Ao agrees to release the Tokime. United against the Kimochi, they successfully restrain it, but when they pour everything into the assault, Promised Blood holds back. Juri reveals she bet the Kimochi would not die in one attack and conserved her magic, then unleashes it all to deliver the final blow and claim the Stone.
• As the Promised Blood sisters prepare to leave, Ao admits she is still afraid of eye contact, and Shizuka explains it was an accident activated by anger. Juri calls them weird and leaves before sunrise. Chiharu asks if Shizuka is worrying again, but Shizuka says she is simply rediscovering how different she is from others. Chiharu reassures her she heard everything during Gaze Locking practice and will keep being a Diviner, following the head family's wishes. Relieved, Shizuka feels the Tokime Clan has built a strong and noble pillar that will not be easily shaken.
• Unbeknownst to them, Ryo, who had followed her lead from Touka to investigate a point of interest in Daito, witnesses their departure, muttering that the Magius was right and there must be a secret route in this area. Ao senses someone watching and Juri regrets getting careless.

Ninth Day:

• By dawn, Kagome decides to seek Nemu and Touka's help with writing and social networking the next day. Meanwhile, Yuna confronts Iroha, who surrenders upon realizing she has been found. Yachiyo wakes Felicia, who slept through everything and mistakes the situation for an enemy attack.
• Early in the morning, Tsuruno leads an assault on Promised Blood's hideout with Sana, Momoko, Rena, Kaede, Yachiyo, and Felicia. They rescue Ui, who reveals the Second Sister obtained a Kimochi Stone, but Urara admits Yuna has Iroha and plans to turn her into a Witch. The group forces the catacombs' location from Sakuya and rushes to save Iroha.
• At the catacombs, Yuna shows Iroha Ui's hair tie and a Grief Seed, falsely claiming Ui became a Witch. As Iroha's Soul Gem begins corrupting, the Kimochi within her bracelet intervenes and Ui's voice reaches her, confirming she is alive. The Mikazuki Villa group arrives, and Yuna reluctantly allows them to take Iroha in the sacred burial ground.

• As they escape, Juri and Ao appear with two Stones, but the exhausted Kamihama group jumps onto a passing freight train. Yuna's forces give chase but are repelled by Tsuruno. Kyubey appears to both groups, revealing only two Kimochi Stones remain and that controlling the Automatic Purification System requires one person to gather all of them.
• Later that morning, Yachiyo meets with Mitama and learns the Promised Blood likely used the Endless Mirrors Witch to warp across distances, meaning the original Labyrinth may have become a terminal connecting to similar Witches nationwide.
• Meanwhile, Shizuka worries about telling Mikazuki Villa that the Tokime Clan must declare independence, though she intends to maintain friendly relations. She decides to join Chiharu and Sunao when they visit to watch Mr. Purrs-a-lot with Sana.
• Kagome reflects on the escalating conflict and prays for Nayuta Satomi, the daughter of the scholar who first taught her about Magical Girls, as she searches for her missing father alone.

• Sakuya is summoned to the Ryuugasaki base by Juri and Ranka. They confront her about her recent actions, having deduced she was the source of the leaked information that led to the failed missions against Iroha and the rescue of Ui. Sakuya confesses immediately, explaining she acted to prevent Yuna from crossing a moral line by killing people she had personally known and spoken with. She believes this would permanently destroy the kind person Yuna once was. Juri is enraged and nearly attacks Sakuya, but Ranka intervenes, arguing that Yuna, as the First Sister, should make the final judgment.
• Later, Sakuya reflects on her past, remembering how Yuna’s kindness saved her when she was a new, frightened Magical Girl. She recalls Yuna’s past mercy, even towards rivals like Juri, whom she defeated but spared. Sakuya resolves to save Yuna from becoming a "demon" on the inside.
• Juri reports Sakuya’s confession to Yuna. Despite Juri’s insistence on harsh punishment, Yuna decides to be lenient, placing Sakuya under surveillance by Hikaru. Yuna states that if Sakuya interferes with their plans again, she will deal with her personally.

Tenth Day:

• The next day, Sakuya, now demoted and distrusted by her peers, is assigned to a general patrol group. Her first mission is to investigate and eliminate any Magical Girls from Kamihama found in Futatsugi. She soon encounters the idol Sayuki Fumino and her friends, Mayu Kozue and Ria Ami, who have come to Futatsugi for a performance. Sakuya lures them into an alley to ambush them, however, another Promised Blood member, who is a fan of Sayuki, intervenes to protect the idol. Sakuya, understanding the girl’s inability to harm someone she loves, stages a fight to allow the Kamihama group to escape, and this act of mercy is witnessed by Hikaru, who reports it to Yuna.
• That night, Yuna summons Sakuya to the Futatsugi catacombs. Declaring Sakuya’ actions unforgivable, Yuna agrees to hear her out only if Sakuya can defeat her in a duel. In a desperate fight, Sakuya manages to land a single blow on Yuna. Impressed by her resolve, Yuna and Juri spare her life, and through telepathy, Yuna reveals that she needs Sakuya to stay by her side specifically to ensure she does not lose her humanity completely.

• Sakuya agrees to rejoin Promised Blood and fight for Futatsugi, but only after securing Yuna’s promise to show some mercy to their enemies. At dawn, the three watch the sunrise from a bridge, with Sakuya inwardly vowing to remain at Yuna’s side to protect her heart until the conflict ends.

Dependence Blue

This event takes place at a point before Part 3 begins, likely starting at some point during Part 2.

• While Alexandra splits off to recruit allies from her hometown, the Neo-Magius members Himena, Shigure, and Hagumu arrive in Takarazaki City with the goal of recruiting San Kagura and Miyuri Yukari, both former instructors for the Wings of Magius. At the station, a woman crashes into Hagumu and steals her bag, but two local Magical Girls named Jun Kazari and Mitsune Miwa intervene, recover the bag, and photograph the criminal before introducing themselves as heroes who protect Takarazaki. San and Miyuri arrive shortly after and confront the group about being late, with San proposing a test: if the Neo-Magius can solve the increasing crime and accident situation in Takarazaki within ten days, thus before the Hikarizuka Fire Festival begins, then she and Miyuri will agree to join their cause.
• The next day, Himena uses a Crime Information Map to identify high-crime areas and times, then sends Shigure and Hagumu to search for strong Witches while she plans with Hiko, the boyfriend who exists only inside her head. Shigure and Hagumu find and defeat a Familiar, mistaking it for a Witch, and Shigure grows frustrated, feeling that Himena treats them like pawns, though Hagumu encourages her to trust their leader for now. Himena later calls them to a restaurant and reveals her findings: crime spikes in the evening near the station, leading her to theorize that a single strong Witch is responsible.
• On the third day, Himena leads the group in hunting the Witch's Familiars to draw it out, and the Witch chases them into alleyways where they encounter Jun and Mitsune again. The five Magical Girls defeat the Witch together, but Himena refuses Jun's offer to team up permanently, stating she only wants their criminal photos for information, and Jun and Mitsune leave.
• The fourth day sees Shigure and Hagumu reporting their progress to San, who notes their slow pace and suggests they either get to know Himena better or abandon the test entirely. While walking, they encounter an elderly shopkeeper who asks them to tell Jun that she is always welcome at the Tomorrow Shop, and Himena messages them to research sewers and tall buildings for a vertical search strategy.
• On the fifth day, Shigure confronts Himena about making them do dangerous work while she avoids it, confessing that she hates her. In response, Himena goes to the sewers alone, finds a Witch, and returns covered in filth before meeting them at a bathhouse to apologize for not considering their feelings. She shares her backstory: her boyfriend Hiko died and now exists only inside her head, and she seeks the Kimochi stones and Automatic Purification System so she can love freely without judgment. The three bond over this revelation.
• The next day, while investigating tall buildings, Shigure and Hagumu encounter Jun and Mitsune defeating a Witch and learn the truth about them: Mitsune is a former shut-in who came to Takarazaki to change herself by pretending to be a hero online, with Jun supporting her, and they are not connected to the town's problems. Shigure and Hagumu report this to Himena, and Hiko suggests recruiting them, so Himena sends the pair to Alina Gray at Satomi Medical Center to obtain one of her pet Witches.
• On the seventh day, Shigure and Hagumu meet Alina, who has amnesia about her past, and after they explain her history and magic, she enters her barrier, confirms the Witches inside, and gives them one sealed in a cube. Himena successfully recruits Jun and Mitsune by explaining the Neo-Magius seeks Magical Girl supremacy, and they agree to cooperate, with San noting that Himena's leadership naturally attracts others.
• The eighth day arrives with Himena presenting the plan: seven of them will encircle the Witch's suspected location, with Shigure and Hagumu waiting at the central spot alongside Alina's Witch while the others search surrounding areas. When Shigure and Hagumu release the Witch from its cube, it proves far stronger than expected, but the group converges and defeats it together. San and Miyuri agree to join the Neo-Magius, unaware that Mitsune's magic has already begun affecting everyone's memories.
• Three days later, the group celebrates their apparent success but notices the situation in Takarazaki has worsened rather than improved. San discovers the truth and confronts them, and Himena reveals this was Hiko's plan all along: by faking a solution, they could observe whether the problem persisted, thereby proving a different culprit existed.
  • That evening, Himena explains her findings: Mitsune's magic lingers at the station where criminals pass through daily, and Mitsune's routine of calming the public unconsciously uses her perception-altering magic, causing increased crime and accidents. Mitsune realizes the truth and despairs as her Soul Gem darkens, and just as her Doppel emerges, she uses her magic to make everyone forget her existence before fleeing.
• Himena, guided by Hiko's clearer memories, helps everyone recall the truth about Mitsune, and they realize she is likely still in Takarazaki, fighting alone to atone. San reveals the Youth Association has disappeared, taken by a Witch threatening the festival, so the group splits up to search.
  • Jun finds Mitsune in the Labyrinth's deepest area, and they fight together but are overwhelmed until Shigure and Hagumu arrive to help. They defeat the Witch, but Jun is fatally wounded, and before dying, she expresses hope that Mitsune will become strong enough to lead others someday. Mitsune's grief triggers her Doppel again, and she wakes up in the hospital with her mind altered to believe Jun is alive but overseas, and that they will reunite when she has truly changed.
• A few days later, Himena visits San and Miyuri, learning the festival was canceled due to the incident, which devastates them, but they reaffirm their commitment to the Neo-Magius and San's goal of becoming a living god to resurrect the festival. Shigure and Hagumu visit Mitsune, who greets them with her signature "Hallo, hallo!" and explains that Jun moved overseas, promising to become strong enough to lead others by the time they reunite.
  • Shigure breaks down crying outside the hospital as the group reflects that Mitsune has falsified her own perception to survive, keeping Jun's memory alive in the only way she can. They recognize that their shared wounds and regrets have forged a powerful bond, and Himena declares they will aim for the top together, honoring those who could not make their dreams come true.

The Great Banquet that Transcends Time

• The day before the banquet, Madoka receives an invitation from Iroha while Yachiyo finds a flashing letter at Mikazuki Villa inviting the Kamihama Magia Union to a party at Suitoku Temple. Felicia recognizes the old-fashioned style as coming from the Tokime Tribe, and Iroha confirms the details with Shizuka, who mentions Mitakihara girls are welcome. That same day in Futatsugi, Yuna shows her own flashing letter to Promised Blood and decides they will attend despite objections from Ao and Hikaru.
• The next day, Promised Blood meets and Yuna reveals spies reported the Union is training for the banquet. Suspicious of the letter's instruction to come prepared, she believes the party is a trap and plans to surround and destroy the temple. At Ryuushinkan, Iroha learns Promised Blood was also invited as the girls discuss their own performances, with Ui realizing she has nothing to show. At Tokime's temple, the girls practice and decide to rest before tomorrow's event. That night, Chiharu notices Sunao is late, Iroha arrives looking for Tsuruno, and Yuna appears searching for Hikaru. All three girls are missing, and when the letters are shown to the chief priest, he denies sending them. Everyone realizes three girls have disappeared after saying they were going to help prepare, forcing Iroha to cancel the banquet.
• The next day, searches yield nothing and everyone feels deja vu. Promised Blood continues searching and encounters Yuuna, who denies involvement and flees. The Union meets with Nayuta's household as Lavi recalls hearing of something similar. Iroha explains the situation to Touka and Nemu, who suspect an Uwasa. At Mikazuki Villa, Yachiyo and Iroha find the Graveyard Banquet Uwasa in the rumor file. At the lab, Sakurako feigns ignorance while Touka realizes the Endless Mirrors may be allowing an old Uwasa from Kamihama's past to enter the present.
• Everyone gathers at Suitoku Temple. Touka explains the plan to find and break the specific mirror connected to Kamihama's past. Iroha, Shizuka, and Yuna volunteer to enter the Uwasa directly. The Mitakihara girls arrive, with Madoka saying she had a bad feeling. At the temple, the group realizes the letter itself is the trigger, and Yachiyo is transported inside.
  • Inside the graveyard Uwasa, they find Tsuruno, Sunao, and Hikaru exhausted and defeated. The voice demands performances. Various girls attempt acts, but nothing impresses until Yachiyo reluctantly sings her childhood song Macaron. The voice finally approves, revealing it sought embarrassment from proud people. They are guided deeper and must reveal embarrassing secrets in a tournament format.
  • The Mitakihara girls arrive in Sankyo Ward, where Nemu reveals a terrible truth: being approved means entering the Pure Land, which is the afterlife. Either way, those who enter die. Breaking the mirror after death will make it seem like a daydream, but they will remember dying. Madoka enters anyway.
  • Inside, Madoka finds everyone dead, held by giant hands. Nemu's revision allows one person to be brought back by calling their name. Madoka calls Iroha, who wakes and realizes she was never free of the Uwasa's influence until she died. Together, they reject the banquet and destroy the Uwasa. The voice speaks cryptic words to Madoka about fighting a difficult battle and creating a future of salvation.
• At the terminal, the mirror fades and Mifuyu's team breaks it. At Suitoku Temple, the missing girls are safe, everyone recalling strange dreams about a banquet. The groups part ways, with Promised Blood acknowledging they will not forget today. Shizuka suggests they throw their own banquet now that everyone is here.
  • At the banquet, Felicia sings the macaron song while Yachiyo yells at her and Madoka laughs. Iroha asks Madoka if she remembers the voice's final words. They agree the voice was telling them to hold onto hope, and they may understand its meaning someday.

Part 3

Part 3 encompasses Chapter 4. While it is possible the first day of Part 3 immediately follows, or takes place on the last day of Part 2, it is unverifiable.

First Day:

• The Union council meets to discuss their approach, deciding to pursue cooperation with Promised Blood while acknowledging that compensation will be required from Kamihama. Iroha pleads for one last chance to negotiate with Yuna, arguing that uniting through their desire to save each other is the fastest path to saving all Magical Girls.
• The conversation shifts when Yachiyo explains that Mirrors Familiars have grown and now connect Labyrinths across distances, creating shortcuts between Kamihama and Futatsugi that Promised Blood has been confirmed to use. Mifuyu arrives with news that Alina has been painting maps that may lead to the original Witch's location, and Kanagi suggests forming an investigation team once negotiations conclude.

Fifth Day:

• Four days later, at home, Nayuta tells Lavi that the security camera at her parents' old house captured her father's image clearly, suggesting he might be hiding intentionally. Mikage arrives with handmade pin badges for their "Papa Search Party" and suggests they visit a foreign painter they met before, but on the way they encounter Mifuyu, Tsukasa, and Tsukuyo struggling to carry art supplies for Alina. Despite Nayuta's reluctance, they help.
• At the hospital, they learn from Mifuyu that Nayuta's father once interviewed her and Yachiyo long ago. Nayuta admits her investigation suggests her father may not want to be found, and Mifuyu suggests he might be avoiding her out of love, similar to how Mitama hid being a Magical Girl from Mikage. Nayuta reveals her parents divorced years ago and her father is her only remaining family besides Lavi. When she mentions her mother is trying to regain custody, Mifuyu suggests contacting her for clues. Nayuta goes to her uncle, the hospital director, who knows her mother's contact information. He agrees to help but assigns her homework: she must bring her own answer about what it means to lose a loved one. He schedules another meeting in three days and promises to invite Touka as well.
• That night over dinner, Lavi shares her view that perspectives on death vary with knowledge and philosophy, but for her, it comes down to emptiness and acceptance, and the only truth is what we lose right in front of us. Nayuta finds this confusing but continues contemplating the homework.

Sixth Day:

• Hinano notices that Ryo seems troubled, suspecting her investigation into Promised Blood has become more serious.
• Nayuta retrieves the analyzed security footage and takes a break with Mikage at a parlor, where she shares her view that death represents hope, a chance for all souls to eventually melt together regardless of their differences. Lavi finds this hopeful perspective characteristic of Nayuta, while Mikage admits she doesn't fully understand but would be sad if anyone disappeared.
• Later that night, Nayuta reflects on her uncle's homework while watching a drama, realizing that you don't have to die to lose someone. She recalls her parents' final argument, when her mother had changed and struck her father. Nayuta remembers that her family fell apart because of her own wish; she hated her mother, yet losing her brought only sadness.

Seventh Day:

• Nayuta meets her uncle and Touka in the hospital courtyard. Touka shares her answer first, speaking of death's inevitability and the limits of human reach. Her uncle agrees that separation is unavoidable. Nayuta then gives her answer: simply put, it means sorrow and anguish, and she cannot betray her feelings. Her uncle accepts this, saying he only wanted her to think. He agrees to contact her mother but warns Nayuta to consider her mother's feelings. He advises Touka to think of her surroundings rather than all humanity. Afterward, they encounter Tsukasa and Tsukuyo searching for Alina, who has disappeared from the hospital.

Eighth Day:

• Kagome collects photographs taken by Ryo and transmits them with help from Touka and Nemu. With only two Kimochi Stones remaining, she senses an approaching struggle and resolves to fight despite her feelings of inadequacy and fear.
• At Minaminagi Liberty Academy, a teacher announces volunteer opportunities for Kamihama's reconstruction. Ryo remains distracted, thinking about Promised Blood's secret route and Kagome's request to photograph Magical Girls. She decides to investigate the shortcut alone, and Hinano and Ikumi go after her.
• Later that day, Alina approaches Ryo at school and invites her to investigate the Mirrors offshoot in Daito again. Ryo feels conflicted but cannot suppress her curiosity. Hinano warns Ryo against acting alone, but Ryo deflects by claiming she is focused on Kagome's project.
• Felicia reports that Promised Blood refuses to talk and the Tokime Clan is bickering with them. Iroha decides to contact Sakuya, their spy at the school, and Sakuya agrees to arrange a meeting with Yuna despite the difficulty. Yuna receives the message and agrees to listen, finding Iroha's persistence intriguing.
• That night at Mikazuki Villa, the group discusses compensation for Promised Blood. Touka reveals she has prepared a method to increase the chance of joining hands but keeps it secret for now. They agree to bring Touka and Nemu to the negotiation.
• Suddenly, Juri crashes through a window, demanding to deliver Promised Blood's response in person. She presents terms: before meeting Yuna, Iroha must first meet with Hikaru and Sakuya and present what they are willing to give. Additionally, they must use Ui to find the Kimochi Labyrinth at Minaminagi. Iroha and Yachiyo accept the conditions. Kagome later notes this was the day they could have set their eyes on hope.

Ninth Day:

• Iroha, Yachiyo, Tsuruno, Touka, and Nemu meet Hikaru and Sakuya at Shizuku's coffee house to negotiate a potential alliance while Ui, Felicia, and Sana head to the cargo port to search for the Kimochi as agreed. Iroha's proposals are rejected, and when Touka and Nemu offer themselves as compensation to satisfy Promised Blood's wrath, Hikaru and Sakuya decide to take the matter back to Yuna.
• While waiting for a response, Iroha fixes a loose button on Hikaru's coat, and Hikaru reveals that Yuna had done the same for her years ago. Iroha asks if Hikaru could help Touka and Nemu in an emergency, but Hikaru says it is impossible. Later that evening, Kagome, Touka, Nemu, and Sakurako gather at the radio telescope and discuss the progress, with Kagome worrying about Ryo, who continues investigating the Mirrors offshoot despite Hinano and Ikumi trying to stop her.
• Meanwhile, Hagumu and Shigure resolve to change and decide to return to Juri and start fresh, aiming to become people who can stand on their own. Kagome watches from within the Uwasa of the Eternal Sakura as negotiations continue, feeling terrified for Touka and Nemu.

• At the cargo port, Ui, Sana, and Felicia meet with Promised Blood as agreed and enter the Labyrinth with the Tokime Clan to search for the Kimochi. Inside, they encounter the Uwasa Labyrinth of the Anonymous AI that separates the groups, but Sana realizes they can open its heart by playing together rather than fighting. Ui offers friendship, and the Uwasa withdraws, revealing it was merely lonely. The Kimochi, Drifting - Diamond Hair, appears and is defeated by the combined group, with Chiharu gaining the Bracelet. Shigure and Hagumu suddenly return and apologize to Juri, declaring they now have their own goals alongside new comrades. Juri is angered but decides to leave for now. Sana receives a message that negotiations have broken down and the Union needs to leave immediately. The Tokime Clan offers to help, but Himena appears with the Neo-Magius, attacks them, severs Chiharu's arm, and steals the Kimochi of Fear from her Bracelet before withdrawing. Juri arrives and mocks them for being bested.
• Meanwhile, Livia and Lavi discuss that the Union's actions have set things in motion that neither the Tokime Clan nor the Neo-Magius desire, with Livia preparing for casualties.
• Ryo meets Alina at Daito, where Alina uses her connection to the voice inside her to pinpoint the Mirrors offshoot's location near Kamihama Prison. Hinano, Ikumi, and Karin arrive to stop them, but Ryo insists they must strike at the weak point now, and the group reluctantly follows.
• At the prison, Alina confirms the magical reactions come from underground while Ryo searches for an entrance. Promised Blood members Ao and Urara detect them, and Ao alerts Yuna that Ryo's ability poses a serious threat to their Labyrinth. Yuna receives the message during negotiations and immediately orders Sakuya to break them off, leaving Iroha and the others confused. Yachiyo contacts Hinano and realizes Promised Blood likely interpreted their movement as betrayal. Underground, Ryo finds a door revealing how Promised Blood comes and goes. Above ground, battle erupts as Kanagi and Mitama arrive as reinforcements, but Momoko's team and Sana's team are blocked from reaching the prison.

• At the negotiation site, Yuna confronts Iroha, Tsuruno, and Yachiyo about Ryo breaking the ceasefire, revealing her true plan was to work Kamihama's Magical Girls to death rather than slaughter them. At the prison, Ao breaks through the defense line and pursues Ryo as she emerges. Ao intends only to break Ryo's camera, but her blade strikes Ryo's Soul Gem instead, killing her instantly. Both factions are left reeling as Yuna coldly declares Ryo's death is the price of the Union's underhanded tactics.

• As Ikumi collapses in grief, a Kimochi Labyrinth suddenly appears. The Kimochi of Grief, Unmoving - Garnet Pinky, emerged in response to Ikumi's despair and forces both factions to fight it together. The Kimochi proves overwhelmingly powerful until Iroha's Bracelet lends her its power, allowing her to connect with Ikumi, who channels her grief into one decisive strike and defeats it.

• With the immediate threat over, Yuna announces that now that all eight Stones are gathered, the real fight begins. She reveals Promised Blood has been tracking all Kamihama Magical Girls and has just ordered assassinations. Before anyone can act, another Labyrinth envelops everyone as the Kimochi declare they will choose which Magical Girls are worthy. The Kimochi vanish, and Promised Blood withdraws to heal their wounds.
• Ikumi asks Kanagi to take Ryo's body back to the East, and the Union mourns together. Mitama warns that rumors are spreading in the East again, claiming the West seeks to rule all of Kamihama, and Ryo's death could ignite tensions once more. Meanwhile, the Tokime Clan, recovering from their fight with the Neo-Magius, hears news of Ryo's death.
• Kagome reflects on Ryo's death, realizing she never truly understood the reality of being a Magical Girl until now. Back at Mikazuki Villa, the group receives a declaration of war from the Neo-Magius. Knowing their home is no longer safe, Touka leads them to an underground shelter prepared by the Satomi Group and announces her plan to use the facility's resources to spread the truth about Magical Girls and continue their fight.

Tenth Day:

• As everyone mourns Ryo's death, an announcement at school declares the Midori Report discontinued. Kagome reflects that through this tragedy, the Magical Girls lost their final chance to band together, and she realizes Kyubey orchestrated the battle while their emotions prevented them from stopping him. She concludes that outsiders who know the truth must take action, and to do so convincingly, they need the help of folklorist Tasuke Satomi, Nayuta's missing father.
• That morning, Yozuru and Sudachi investigate Mikazuki Villa and find a window shattered by a magical attack, confirming the Union leaders have been targeted. Livia tasks them with investigating the previous day's events and providing care to any Magical Girls they encounter, but instructs them not to mention Ryo's death to avoid seeming intrusive.
• Nayuta travels to Takarazaki to meet her mother at a cafe, briefly encountering Livia who asks for help with a Witch, though Nayuta declines due to her meeting. Yozuru and Sudachi visit Hozumi Coffeehouse and Emiri's Consultation Office, where they find Shizuku, Emiri, Asuka, and Sasara all distressed over Ryo. Despite their efforts to offer comfort through coffee and conversation, they realize their attempts to provide care have been ineffective against such profound sadness.
• Nayuta reunites with her mother, who has gathered information about her father's whereabouts. Nayuta apologizes for wanting only that, admits she hated her mother but might love her too, and describes the gap in her heart since she left. Her mother apologizes, reveals she knows about Magical Girl wishes, and gives her the information. Meanwhile outside the city, Livia meets with Kyubey, who claims the Kimochi Stone situation is an unpredictable deviation he did not orchestrate, and asks her to keep watch over Kagome Satori.

• Nayuta returns home exhausted to find Mikage waiting with Lavi. Mikage comforts her and promises to help find her father so the three of them can live together again. That evening, Yozuru and Sudachi report their failures to Livia, who shares Kyubey's request about observing Kagome. Later, Nayuta discovers a document about her father's actions in Yukuni City around the time he disappeared—something she had no knowledge of. Lavi finds a letter in the mailbox with no postmark, delivered directly. Nayuta recognizes her father's handwriting but becomes distressed upon reading it, declaring it is not from him. The letter states Nayuta's father has given up, claiming there is no way to save Magical Girls. Alone, Lavi acknowledges that with the Kimochi stones collected and casualties suffered, each action advances a clock toward a point where they will be forced to take lives themselves to keep watching over the girls.

Part 4

Part 4 encompasses Chapter 5. It appears that not a lot of time has passed since Part 3, likely a few days at most.

First Day:

• After the Kimochi's declaration, the factions and their primary objectives are defined. Promised Blood engages in guerrilla tactics, targeting individual Union members who possess Kimochi Stones to exhaust them. Whenever any of the selected girls are about to fight each other, their bracelets will envelop them in a Labyrinth in order to have them fight with each other.
• Iroha is ambushed by Hikaru, who demands her Kimochi Stone, and Iroha is horrified that Hikaru is unconcerned about Ryo's death. Yachiyo Nanami and Tsuruno Yui arrive to assist Iroha. Kagome also observes this fight from within the conflict zone, noting she can enter without being isolated, likely because she is not a Magical Girl.
• Afterwards, Hinano informs Ikumi that Iroha was targeted. Ikumi, still grieving for Ryo, is struggling to maintain her composure. Hinano encourages her to continue grieving.
• In a meeting, Himena meets with Kyubey and questions how the Automatic Purification System would be used if acquired. Kyubey confirms that if one could acquire all the Kimochi Stones and bring the system under control, it would not be impossible. Himena is satisfied with this answer and is joined by San and Miyuri.
• Later, the Union members discuss the ongoing attacks from Promised Blood. Yachiyo deduces that Promised Blood is intentionally trying to cut down the Union members chosen by the Kimochi, so they decide to meet with the Tokime Clan to discuss the situation and the recent theft of Chiharu's Kimochi Stone.
• The Union meets with Shizuka, Chiharu, and Sunao of the Tokime Clan. Shizuka formally announces the end of their alliance with the Union, wit the reason being fundamental difference in their stances on being Magical Girls. The Tokime take pride in their role as protectors and do not view their contracts with Kyubey negatively, whereas the Union does. Despite this, the Tokime express that they hold no hostility toward the Union and would prefer if the Union were the last group standing alongside them. They agree to focus on different enemies—the Tokime will target the Neo-Magius, and the Union will focus on Promised Blood—and vow to cross blades in a final confrontation.
• That night, Iroha confesses to Yachiyo that she cannot see a clear goal amidst the chaotic conflict. Yachiyo states that the possibility of an ending where everyone is saved was lost in the prison incident. Iroha also mentions her concern for Rena after she'd befriended Ranka, who turned out to be a member of Promised Blood. The other Union members, along with Ui, comfort Iroha.

Second Day:

• With the looming election, Hagumu and Shigure report to Himena that they have observed no contact between the Union and Tokime, confirming the dissolution of their alliance. The Neo-Magius begin to formulate a plan and Himena reveals she still intends to recruit Shizuka into their ranks, believing their groups are similar. She tasks Hagumu and Shigure with attempting to persuade Shizuka despite their reluctance. After talking with Himena, Alexandra reports back to Folklore of Zero through the phone.
• Meanwhile, at Suitoku Temple, using Chika's ability to communicate with animals, the Tokime have discovered that Himena attends Kamihama Future Academy in Sakae Ward. They plan a targeted strike against Himena, believing that eliminating the Neo-Magius' central pillar will cause the group to collapse. Shizuka, Chiharu, and Sunao agree that a small, focused attack is their best strategy.

Third Day:

• Hagumu and Shigure arrive at the temple on Himena's orders and they deliver the offer to join the Neo-Magius. Shizuka flatly refuses, stating that as long as their resentment remains, she will not offer her hand, though she might reach behind her back instead. After they leave, the Tokime finalize their plan to ambush Himena.
• Chiharu, Chika, Ryoko, and members of the Tokime ambush Himena near her school and Chiharu confronts her about her lack of malice while hurting others, which she finds even more dangerous. Himena expounds on the Neo-Magius ideology of Magical Girl Supremacy, arguing that Magical Girls are superior humans who should rule over ordinary people. She invites Chiharu to join her, but Chiharu rejects this philosophy entirely.
• Alexandra and then the rest of the Neo-Magius arrive as reinforcements, so the Tokime, recognizing they are outnumbered, make a tactical retreat. After the battle, Himena reveals to her team that she confirmed the Tokime Clan is not a monolith and she sensed one member seemed interested in her words. She devises a new plan to "break" the Tokime from within, involving the creation of a specific costume.
• Alexandra contacts Folklore of Zero to report on Himena's movements, but Himena had followed her and confronts Alexandra. She reveals her true affiliation and her role as an observer. She also delivers a prophecy to her that if Himena achieves her goals, she will die. Himena dismisses this and vows to prevent it, and for now, Alexandra is allowed to remain in the Neo-Magius.
• Meanwhile at Mitama's, Union members discuss the ongoing situation and they receive reports that the Tokime attacked the Neo-Magius leader and that Promised Blood continues their guerrilla tactics. They debate attacking the prison but decide they need a more decisive strategy. Mifuyu reports that Alina, in an attempt to recover her memories, has agreed to cooperate with a team to map the Mirrors Labyrinth.
• Iroha contacts Yachiyo with news that Ikumi, overwhelmed by grief for Ryo, has run away and is likely heading for Kamihama Prison alone. Iroha and Momoko pursue her to stop her.
• At the prison entrance, Hinano and Sakurako catch up to Ikumi and try to reason with her. Ikumi breaks down, stating that crying is not enough and she cannot forgive Ryo's killer. Sakurako, using Ryo's memories, tells Ikumi that Ryo would not want this and would prefer to see her smiling, which manages to reach Ikumi, and she agrees to stand down. Iroha suggests that cleaning and organizing the belongings of the deceased can be a way to mourn and sort through one's own feelings. Ikumi decides she wants to clean out Ryo's old newspaper clubroom at school.
• Kagome speaks with Iroha over the phone, who admits she is lost in the tangled conflict but still wishes for a way for everyone to be happy without anyone getting hurt. Kagome reaffirms her own goal of telling the world about Magical Girls, though she feels anxiety about how far she can follow the battle. Iroha suggests she consult Nemu Hiiragi for potential help.

Fourth Day:

• A team consisting of Mifuyu, Yachiyo, Kanagi, and the Amane sisters prepares to investigate the Endless Mirrors Labyrinth with Alina, who is creating a map. After they depart, Yachiyo and Kanagi discuss the city's changing political landscape and Kanagi reveals she is assisting Mitama with the mayoral election, where an Eastern candidate is, for the first time, putting up a strong fight against the West.
• Meanwhile, Mikage returns home to find Mitama, who apologizes for her frequent absences and explains she is helping with the election to create a happier future for Mikage. At the same time, Nayuta receives a text from her father saying he has given up on saving Magical Girls, and she panics when she finds something moving in her futon, summoning Lavi who has already called Mikage for help.
• Iroha, Ui, Sana, and Felicia investigate the university library, where they find a partial map of Kamihama Prison's underground area. They are confronted by Shigure and Hagumu, who make a final, futile attempt to recruit them into the Neo-Magius. Later, Yachiyo and Tsuruno meet up with Iroha's group and they receive the news about Ryo's phone and the map she'd made.
• As Sudachi has the day off, she meets Mikage. They discuss wanting to be useful, and Sudachi suggests investigating the Endless Mirrors together. At the labyrinth entrance, they hesitate, and Lavi finds them, warning Mikage not to worry Mitama. Mikage decides not to enter and instead goes to Nayuta's house.
• Touka, Nemu, and Kagome collaborate with Nayuta on a project to reveal the existence of Magical Girls to the world. Their plan involves using impactful images, which are to be gathered by Kagome and Rii, powerful text written by Kagome and refined by Nemu, and a presentation strategy devised by Touka. They aim to post their work as high-quality "creative fiction" to gain a massive online following before revealing it as the truth, using Nayuta's missing father's media contacts to amplify the message. Nayuta, despite her doubts, agrees to help, partly to prove her father's pessimistic letter wrong. As part of this project, Kagome asks Touka and Nemu to help "complete" her Uwasa, the Wind Evangelist, to better protect her during her information-gathering missions. They also agree, seeing it as a necessary step.
• During this time, at Nayuta's home, Mikage arrives and Nayuta shows her security camera footage of her father holding the final volume of his book, convincing her he has not given up. Nayuta resolves to follow her father's footsteps to Yukuni City, and though Mikage is upset at being left behind, Lavi suggests she investigate the Mirrors for Mitama instead.
• At Hozuki High School, Ikumi, Hinano, and Sakurako clean the newspaper clubroom, which belonged to Ryo. Ikumi has brought Ryo's broken camera, which was damaged by Promised Blood. During the cleaning, they discover Ryo's old photos and Sakurako reveals that Ryo's camera automatically transferred photos to her smartphone. Realizing the phone may contain Ryo's final work from inside Kamihama Prison, they contact Touka to bypass the phone's security.
• At Touka's office, Touka decides to contribute by successfully unlocking Ryo's phone.
• In the radio telescope lab, they find that the phone contains a video message from Ryo, where she explains her method for navigating the prison's maze and how one can trace the correct path. In the event of her death, she'd also left personal messages for Hinano, Kanagi and Mitama, Sakurako and Ikumi. Touka and Nemu confirm that Ryo's photos perfectly fill in the missing parts of the Union's underground map, providing a clear route to Promised Blood's secret and the suspected Mirror Witch offshoot.
• Promised Blood plans to lure the Union into the prison, which they view as a perfect cage for their enemies. Yuna checks on Ao, who is struggling with the guilt from killing Ryo, but Yuna advises her to freeze her emotions like she does.
• The Neo-Magius plan to actively recruit members for their cause of Magical Girl Supremacy through a secret conference. Himena, San and Miyuri, learn from Kyubey and their own research that the Magius once summoned Walpurgisnacht and that Touka's family was involved in building a radio telescope. Himena devises a strategy to use the radio waves for a plan of her own, similar to how Touka did, as well as make costumes to infiltrate the Tokime.
• Meanwhile, Alina, Mifuyu and the Amane twins continue exploring the Endless Mirrors.

Fifth Day:

• While Chiharu, Chika, and other Tokime Tribe girls attempt to investigate the Neo-Magius in Kamihama, Neo-Magius agents, including San and Miyuri, secretly embed themselves within the Tokime ranks with Tokime disguises as well. San and Miyuri, while in disguise, slowly try to get the other girls more comfortable with the ideals of the Neo-Magius.

• At sunset, Chiharu and Chika return to report to Shizuka and Himena, but San and Miyuri arrive to confront them, where Himena reveals that their "erosion" tactic has succeeded and that several Tokime members, including Sunao and Chika, have already defected. A brief skirmish ensues, but Neo-Magius retreats, promising to return for the remaining members the next day.

• Meanwhile, that evening, Mikage asks Mitama for permission to investigate the Mirrors and is allowed to go with Sudachi under strict conditions. Concurrently, Mifuyu updates Yachiyo on the investigation, noting Alina's map has proven accurate through sixteen layers, and she agrees to let Mikage and Sudachi join them despite concerns about managing Alina.
• In the Mirrors, the group encounters a copy of Mitama, which attacks them after Mikage tests it. They reach the sixteenth layer and discover a terminal connected to countless Witch Labyrinths, but the room's impurity summons a powerful Witch and they are forced to escape. Afterwards, Mitama and Livia confront them, with Mitama apologizing for being overprotective and Livia agreeing to properly teach Sudachi coordination. Mikage decides the Mirrors are too dangerous for now.
• Later that night, Himena discusses with Alexandra how their tactics have unfolded until now and tells her that the two will visit Himena's hometown tomorrow.

Sixth Day:

• The Kamihama Magia Union prepares to assault the city's prison to find and destroy the shortcut to Futatsugi created by the offshoot of the Mirrors Witch. At the Mikazuki Villa evacuation site, Crescent House, Kagome meets with Touka and Nemu to complete the Uwasa of the Wind Evangelist. Nemu explains that creating an Uwasa normally consumes a life-threatening amount of magic, but to mitigate the risk, she has pre-charged tools with her own magic. Touka warns Kagome of the dangers, stating the Uwasa could be linked to her ears or even directly to her brain, potentially causing intense pain or unknown consequences. Despite her fear, Kagome resolves to go through with the procedure, wanting to become stronger to help other Magical Girls and repay Iroha for saving her. She successfully merges with the Uwasa, which transforms its appearance.
• Separately, throughout the day, Himena brings Alexandra to her hometown, and at a specific location, Himena reveals that this is where her boyfriend, Hiko, died and subsequently entered her mind through her contact with Kyubey. Their secret relationship, due to social standing differences, was discovered, leading to Hiko being bullied into a state of despair that Himena failed to notice until he ended his own life. She aims to create a world with no restrictions on love, where she and Hiko can be together without ridicule.
• During this time, the Tokime Clan investigates for the Neo-Magius base in Daito Ward with no success. Shizuka then reveals that two of their members, Sunao and Chika, along with some branch families, are not true defectors, but undercover agents pretending to have joined the Neo-Magius to locate their base. Sunao and Chika make contact, confirming their infiltration and promising to discover the base location by the next day.
• Sunao and Chika successfully infiltrate the Neo-Magius gathering at the Kamihama Civic Center, where they identify the location as the base and plan to contact Shizuka. However, they are discovered by San and Miyuri and a battle ensues where Sunao holds off San and Miyuri to allow Chika to escape and send the location to Shizuka. Both Sunao and Chika are defeated and left injured outside the hall.
• Upon receiving the message, Shizuka, Chiharu, Asahi, and Ryoko immediately rush to the Civic Center. They battle San, Miyuri, Hagumu, and Shigure at the entrance to break through to the main hall.
• At the prison, the Union begins its infiltration. Their strategy relies on Tsuruno, who has memorized a map from Ryo's photos, navigating to the goal while the others fight off enemies. The team is equipped with whistles to communicate and locate each other through the magical interference caused by the enchanted rocks as well. Iroha and Felicia are initially ordered to stay behind to protect the Kimochi Stones, but later they'd decided to disobey and join the battle too. Along the way, they also meet Ikumi, who insists on joining.
• Promised Blood uses enchanted rocks not to fake greater numbers, but to create a "jamming" effect, flooding the tunnels with magical signatures to confuse the Union members and separate them. They are aware of the Union's assault and take up defensive positions.
• The Union teams are immediately separated and forced into individual battles. Momoko's team is ambushed from all directions by Hikaru and her army. Yachiyo, Ui, and Sana are targeted by Yuna's "Target Change" sniping magic, which allows her to attack from unexpected angles, as well as Urara.

• Tsuruno is intercepted first by Ao and later, after Kanagi arrives and takes her on, Tsuruno is able to continue. However, she is soon intercepted by Juri. Their fight reaches a stalemate that nearly exhausts both of their magic, and Juri, in desperation, attempts to collapse the entire underground section they are in, but ultimately lacks the power to do so.
• Ao, traumatized by her accidental killing of Ryo, is confronted by Ikumi. Overwhelmed, Ao's emotional turmoil causes her to lose control of her Kimochi Stone and enter a berserk state, threatening to bring down the entire prison underground. During the fight, Yuna locks Felicia's attack with her own power of Target Redirection, making Felicia cast her Oblivion magic upon herself, which initially only makes her faint. Ao's rampage forces a temporary, uneasy truce between the Union and Promised Blood to stop her and escape the collapsing tunnel. However, Kanagi is able to subdue Ao, but Sakuya protects Ao from further harm.
• Both sides are forced to regroup outside the tunnels. Iroha and Felicia's timely intervention saves several Union members from being overwhelmed. Tsuruno deduces from her conversation during the fight with Juri that the Labyrinth connecting Kamihama and Futatsugi likely has multiple entry points beyond the prison. Separately at Crescent House, Kagome and the Uwasa of the Wind Evangelist are successfully merged.
• Inside the Civic Center, Himena holds a speech for the captive Tokime branch family members, outlining the Neo-Magius' goals. She explains their ideology of "Magical Girl Supremacy" and their concrete plan to seize control of Kamihama's Automatic Purification System.
• Shizuka's team breaches the hall. To counter them, Alexandra uses her magic to drain the will to fight from Shizuka, Chiharu, and Asahi. Himena then orders Mitsune to use her Doppel's power to alter the perceptions of the Tokime members, making them believe they have always been part of the Neo-Magius. Shizuka resists by injuring herself to stay conscious, and she then uses a non-magical Tokime technique of the Locked Gaze to project her strong emotions and convictions to the brainwashed clan members. She rallies them by reaffirming the Tokime Clan's core ideal of standing alongside humanity and protecting people, not ruling over them. This speech successfully breaks the Doppel's mind-altering effect on a significant portion of the audience, causing a large-scale rebellion within the hall.
• A chaotic battle erupts between the loyal Tokime members and the still-brainwashed faction. Chiharu confronts and defeats Himena in combat, and upon Himena's defeat, the Kimochi Stone she possessed emerges and interacts with her. In a subsequent mental confrontation, Himena resists the Kimochi's attempt to possess her body, reasserting her own will.
• With Himena defeated and the Kimochi Stone reclaimed by Chiharu, the Neo-Magius' plan fails. Shizuka offers Himena a chance to disband the Neo-Magius and join the Tokime Clan, but Himena refuses. As Shizuka, angered by this, moves to attack the defeated Himena, Asahi intervenes and apparently kills Himena with a single blow.
• In the aftermath, it is revealed that Himena's death was part of a final contingency plan using Mitsune's Doppel to alter her allies' perceptions, allowing the Neo-Magius to retreat from the public eye. However, the overuse of her power left Mitsune with lower-body paralysis, a condition similar to what Nemu suffers from. The Neo-Magius leadership regroups in hiding to plan their next move.
• After being accepted by the Wind Evangelist, Kagome witnessed a clash between the Neo-Magius and the Tokime Clan at the Kamihama Civic Center, and from a distance, saw what she believed was Himena's death. She now understands this was a deception, and curses the fact that this illusion led to the current strained situation among Magical Girls.
• That night, shortly after the confrontation at Kamihama Civic Center, Shizuka is troubled by Himena's accusation that the Tokime Clan's pride is a form of Magical Girl supremacy, akin to the Neo-Magius ideology. She reflects on her belief that all people are inherently good and that the clan's mission is to protect them, not look down on them. She struggles to reconcile this with how others might perceive the clan's pride.
• Later, at Banbanzai, Iroha, Yachiyo, Tsuruno, Felicia, Sana, and Ui discuss their recent discoveries. They learn from Tsuruno's father about an urban legend of a "Phantom Tunnel," an abandoned subway project near the prison that was halted after the prison's underground was discovered. Separately, after Yuna had used her own unique magic to redirect Felicia's Oblivion magic back to her, Felicia awakens from a nightmare where she saw herself killing her parents.
• During a campaign speech for Touka's father, who is running for office, a sudden wave of intense malice is felt by Chiharu and Shizuka. A man in the crowd, seemingly not influenced by any magical entity, throws a stone at the candidate, nearly inciting a riot. This event forces Shizuka to confront the reality that human evil exists independently of magical influence.
• Meanwhile, as Nayuta is about to depart that day, Mikage and Mitama see her and Lavi off at the station, but their farewell is interrupted when they witness the same attack on the political speaker. They chase the assailant into an alley before Lavi warns them back, and Nayuta arrives after delaying her trip, sensing something ominous. Lavi identifies the attacker as from the East and mentions unsettling rumors, and Mikage gives Nayuta crushed sweets bought with her allowance before promising to look after Mitama while she is away.
• As the group processes the event, Kagome reflects that Magical Girls exist because of humanity itself, not Kyubey, and that for others to truly help them, mankind must reconsider how it brings about peace.

Seventh Day:

• Shizuka takes a walk to clear her mind. She witnesses two brothers arguing; the younger one misinterprets the older one's helpful advice as condescension. This interaction makes Shizuka consider that the Tokime Clan's actions might be similarly misunderstood by outsiders. She coincidentally meets Natsuki, and they talk from behind separate trees to avoid being seen together. Shizuka confides her worries, and Natsuki reassures her that Shizuka's actions stem from a love for humanity, not a sense of superiority. Natsuki suggests Shizuka speak with the priest at her temple.
• Shizuka returns to Suitoku Temple and discusses her feelings with the chief priest. He introduces her to the Confucian "Theory of Innate Goodness," which posits that all people are born good and that those who do evil have neglected to nurture that inherent goodness. This philosophy strengthens Shizuka's resolve and her belief in the righteousness of her mission to protect people.

Eighth Day:

• Shizuka returns to the park to return a cleaned kendama to the brothers, hoping to help them reconcile. She witnesses the older brother from the previous day save a child from being hit by a car, confirming her belief in people's innate goodness. The younger brother reveals he was also looking for the kendama to apologize. Shizuka determines that her pride is not about superiority but about her duty to protect the inherent good in all people, and she vows not to be swayed by Himena's words again.
• After the defeat of the Neo-Magius, the Tokime Clan tends to its wounded members, Sunao and Chika. Shizuka also addresses a clan member who defected, reaffirming the clan's true mission to protect humanity, not to stand above it.
• Shizuka then speaks with Asahi, who fired the shot that "killed" Himena. Asahi states she made the judgment call to protect Shizuka from having to sully her own hands.

Ninth Day:

• Shizuka is conflicted, realizing that in the heat of the moment, she herself had the intent to kill Himena for insulting her ideals. She contrasts this with Iroha's methods, who seeks to avoid violence. Shizuka is left troubled, as Himena's words about the existence of evil and the hollowness of pure altruism continue to haunt her, creating doubt despite her reinforced philosophical beliefs.

Part 5

Part 5 encompasses Chapter 6. It is quite likely that no days pass between Part 4 and Part 5, however it is unverifiable, as at least a few days have passed from the sixth day of Part 4.

First Day:

• Livia and Kyubey discuss the current state of Kamihama. Livia confirms that Himena was defeated, and the group has dissolved. However, a rumor she started—that Kamihama Magia Union's eastern and western factions had a secret agreement leading to Ryo's death—continues to spread and cause tension. Kyubey notes this infighting is beneficial as it causes Magical Girls to fight.
• At Crescent House, Felicia shows signs of emotional distress, haunted by a dream where she killed her own parents, and the team attempts to cheer her up.
• At her cafe, Ikumi struggles with her work, burdened by Ryo's death. After work, Kanagi and Mitama discuss the political fallout from a recent mayoral election assault, while Mikage mentions the damaging rumor about the Union is spreading in the east.

• In Yukuni, Nayuta continues her search for her father with Lavi and Alexandra. After seeing a girl with a Witch's Kiss, they save her from jumping and defeat the Witch. When she wakes up, she sees Nayuta's ring and becomes hostile when she realizes they're Magical Girls. She decides to simply stay away from them, but advises Nayuta to conceal her Magical Girl status in Yukuni.

• The Union holds a strategy meeting at Ryushinkan. To counter the rumor and distrust, they plan a joint operation with eastern and western members. The goal is for members not chosen by the Kimochi to destroy the Mirrors Witch and sever Promised Blood's shortcut from Futatsugi.
• Rena gets a call from Ranka, begging them to speak to her, as she was leaving Promised Blood in favor of the Union. Rena, as well as other Union members, meet Ranka at the game center to receive the information about their shortcut. After giving them some info regarding its hereabout, the meeting is interrupted by Juri, who violently retrieves Ranka. Once out of their range, Ranka tells Juri she overdid the act and actually hurt her. The Union plans to attack via two routes: the old trainyard and a route through Kosho Ward's Electric Town, based on information from Ranka. Union confirms the location of the base but remains suspicious of a trap.
• That evening, Yuna goes to get Coordinated in the Puella Care trailer. She notifies Livia that after she redirected Felicia's magic back at her, its started to make her remember something she'd used her magic to erase. Yuna now plans to use this to sow discord within the Union's ranks.
• At night, during the operation, the teams assemble and Kanagi leads the eastern team to the old trainyard, while Yachiyo leads the western team to the Electric Town route.

• The operation fails and the Electric Town route is blocked by a magically reinforced excavation shield used for tunnels, trapping Yachiyo's team. Promised Blood's main force, including Ranka, also ambushes Kanagi's team at the trainyard. The eastern members who cannot fight are cornered, and Kanagi is severely injured while protecting them by Ao, who is briefly overtaken by her Kimochi. Yachiyo's team breaks through to rescue them, forcing a full retreat.
• After the battle, at Mitama's office, the injured Kanagi warns the others that the Kimochi can overwhelm their users, as happened with Ao. Rena also feels sad due to Ranka's betrayal and the failed operation and heavy injuries deepen the existing distrust between the eastern and western factions. Yuna analyzes the battle, recognizing Union's attempt to operate outside the Kimochi's rules solely to defeat their local Mirrors Witch. Ao is left emotionally distraught after her Kimochi overtook her during the fight.

Second Day:

• Mikage and Sudachi hear news reports about the ongoing investigation into the mayoral election assault, which implicates Mitama and Kanagi. At the Crescent House's laboratory, Touka analyzes a black photograph from Ryo's phone, finding a clue. At Kanagi's home, Iroha treats her injuries and they discuss the burdens of leadership, with Kanagi advising Iroha to hold onto her idealism.
• Felicia meets Kako and Ayame in a park, and Ayame, concerned about Felicia's distress over her dream of killing her parents, suggests they visit Suitoku Temple to find ghosts. At the temple, which serves as the Tokime clan's base, they learn that clan members Sunao and Chika are recovering from their injuries. The "ghosts" of the people in the temple are a manifestation of Asahi's unique magic, used to monitor the Magical Girls' proximity to death.
• As she's going home from the temple, Felicia encounters Yuna by chance, who says she was on the way to Suitoku Temple. Felicia stops and asks her what she did to her in Kamihama Prison. Yuna reveals that, after she'd seen Felicia use her magic, she realized Felicia's magic may have originated from her contract making her forget something. Yuna merely redirected the magic back at Felicia, making her start to remember what happened. Yuna then transforms and makes Felicia remember everything.

• Mifuyu's investigation team continues to search the Endless Mirrors, but progress is stalled as Alina remains asleep and unable to map deeper floors. Karin creates a manga, "The Alina Gray Reform Project," hoping to inspire Alina to change. Inspired by this, Mifuyu proposes a plan to destroy the Mirrors terminal, severing all shortcuts at once. She gains the Tokime clan's approval for this plan.
• Later that day, Iroha and Kanagi discover that the route from Kamihama Prison to the subway is not blocked, as Ranka had claimed. Tsuruno also finds out about a ventilation shaft that leads to the subway and Yachiyo's team formulates a new three-pronged invasion plan using these routes.
• At the game center, Rena, Kaede, and Momoko have a tense encounter with Ranka and Juri. Rena is emotionally devastated by Ranka's betrayal, and Felicia, who is also present, becomes enraged and destroys a punching machine, later breaking down in tears.

• Meanwhile, continuing the search in Yukuni, Nayuta finds a lead at a local folklore museum, where an assistant professor directs them to an inn called "The Cradle of the Earth." Nayuta contacts the inn and learns her father has a reservation for the following day, all the while Lavi and Alexandra feel bad for hiding their involvement with Tasuke from her. However, that night they receive a call at their room notifying them that Tasuke has cancelled his stay for tomorrow. They receive a letter at their door from Tasuke, arranging him to meet with Nayuta after he speaks with his brother, Touka's father.

• That evening, the Union holds a final strategy meeting at Ryushinkan. They finalize the plan to attack the subway at 5:30 AM the next day, simultaneously with Mifuyu's operation to destroy the Mirrors terminal. Yachiyo states that any member, including Felicia, will be subject to a final evaluation before the operation begins.
• In the subway, Yuna and Promised Blood continue to search for the offshoot Mirrors Witch, counting on the internal strife within Union to buy them time. At Puella Care, Livia expresses concern for Felicia, and at Crescent House, Felicia cries alone, believing she does not deserve to be with her friends.

• That night, Felicia confronts Kako through a text message, having deduced that she knew the truth about her wish, and how Felicia was the one who killed her own parents.
• Felicia runs away and Iroha, Yachiyo, Tsuruno, Ui, and Sana pursue her. Kako and Ayame also join the search after learning of Felicia's distress.

• Felicia escapes their pursuit by unleashing her Doppel and returns to her burned-out family apartment in Minaminagi. She relives the traumatic memory of the accident: during an argument with her mother, she kicked her, causing a pot of oil to spill and start a fire. In a panic, Felicia threw water on the oil fire, which worsened the blaze. In that moment of despair, Kyubey appeared, and Felicia wished for the incident to have never happened. Her unique magic of oblivion was a direct result of this wish, causing her to forget her own role in the tragedy, as the wording of her wish was changed due to her emotional state.

Third Day:

• The team finds Felicia on the 15th floor. Her Kimochi bracelet reacts violently, and the Kimochi itself attempts to seize control of her body by amplifying her self-hatred. Iroha uses her own Kimochi bracelet to connect everyone's hearts to Felicia's.
• Despite their pleas, Felicia remains consumed by guilt and is willing to let the Kimochi take her. Kako and Ayame then arrive with Asahi, who, using her unique magic, summons the spirits of Felicia's parents. They absolve Felicia of blame, explaining the accident was a result of family tensions and their own failures as parents. They tell her to live happily and bless others.

• By dawn, she is freed from her guilt by her parents' forgiveness, and Felicia rejects the Kimochi, reclaiming control of her body and her future. She resolves to live on and make others happy. The immediate crisis ends, but Asahi reflects cynically on the value of a Magical Girl's life.
• During the operation, 5:30 AM, the Union launches its three-pronged attack on the subway to destroy Promised Blood's offshoot Mirrors Witch. Iroha's team from Mikazuki is absent, having been delayed by Felicia's emotional crisis, but Momoko's and Kanagi's teams proceed with the mission.
• Kanagi's team enters via Kamihama Prison but they're immediately ambushed. Kanagi stays behind to duel Ao, who's now lost her sense of fear entirely, while Momoko's team advances. Throughout this, Kagome herself goes to investigate the ventilation opening and finds Urara, who is waiting for the girls of Mikazuki. She questions Kagome about her interviews, but when Kagome mentions Tasuke, Urara attacks her, prompting Rii to emerge and protect her, which makes Kagome realize Urara knows the professor. Meanwhile, Mifuyu's team enters through the Endless Mirrors to destroy the parent terminal. Rena, her team and other Union members fight against Juri, Ranka and their team, while Alina negotiates with the voice inside her, saying that if they don't help, Alina will give up and live as a new person. The voice temporarily takes over her body and allows Alina to open a sudden shortcut, accelerating their descent.
• During the operation in the offshoot Mirrors, Momoko's team engages Juri and Ranka in battle. Miyako and Ikumi are incapacitated by Sakuya, while Kanagi, fighting Ao, is ambushed by Yuna, Hikaru and Urara. Ao reclaims the Kimochi from Kanagi, who is severely wounded and on the verge of being killed when Iroha's team finally arrives. Together, they hold off Promised Blood and rescue Kanagi.

• Mifuyu's team arrives in the offshoot Mirrors through a linked mirror in the Mirrors terminal area, but they aren't strong enough to fight the Witch directly with Promised Blood going against them. Juri also uses her Kimochi to send her opponents into its Labyrinth, picking them off one by one, though Alina's immune to its effects. Ikumi, in a final act of despair, makes a pact with her Kimochi Stone, apologizing that she won't be the one to take it to the Automatic Purification System. She uses its power to destroy the offshoot Mirrors Witch, but in doing so, her body is completely consumed, and she vanishes.
• With the Witch defeated and the shortcut severed, the battle ends, but Promised Blood now has gained Ikumi's Kimochi Stone as well. The four Kimochi Stones held by Promised Blood resonate with those held by the Union. Through this connection, Ui and the others perceive all the Kimochi's true intention: to gather all eight stones, return to their original form as the Witch Eve, and use the Magical Girls' conflict to create openings to possess the main twelve of them to the girls' destruction. Despite this revelation, Yuna remains confident that she can control the Kimochi and the Automatic Purification System, and Promised Blood retreats with their victory.
• In the aftermath, at Mitama's office, the injured Kanagi works to prevent the eastern Magical Girls from blaming the west for her injuries. Everyone present, especially Hinano mourns Ikumi and her sacrifice.
• The Tokime hear news from Mifuyu that Ikumi has died. Shizuka decides they should investigate the stone throwing incident, as she suspects the Neo-Magius had something to do with it. After talking with Chiharu and Sunao, they decide to pay Mitama a visit.
• Nayuta, Lavi, and Alexandra go to her uncle's office and, after waiting for a very long time, Nayuta decides to investigate on her own. She finds the director's office and overhears a phone conversation where he mentions confining Tasuke to "cool his head" and discusses bringing his brother's Magical Girl research to the public from a "scientific point of view." Lavi, seizing the opportunity to sever Nayuta's ties with her cousin Touka, manipulates Nayuta into believing her uncle plans to steal her father's work for fame. This successfully turns Nayuta against her uncle and, by extension, Touka.

Fourth Day:

• Sana experiences a creative block, unable to continue drawing her picture books. A haunting dream of her brothers, who dismiss fiction as an escape from reality, causes her to doubt the value and power of her art. She concludes that her work is meaningless and that she must take practical action in the real world to be of use.
• Seeking a tangible purpose, Sana accompanies Kagome on her mission to document Magical Girls across Kamihama, acting as her bodyguard. During their travels, they observe several interactions: Felicia happily reconciling with Kako and Ayame after they helped her speak with her parents' spirits; how Shizuku is not working at her cafe; the somber atmosphere at Ikumi's cafe as staff and patrons grieve her sudden death; and Kanagi preparing a memorial event for Ikumi, stating she wants to "mourn to remember, not to forget." Finally, they assist a search party in the Mirrors Labyrinth looking for the missing Alina and Karin.
• During the search, Sana uses her unique magic of to distract a powerful Witch, allowing the other Magical Girls to defeat it. Despite this success, Sana feels her efforts are ultimately futile as the primary goal of finding Alina and Karin is not achieved.
• Later that night, feeling dejected, Sana calls Sunao. Their conversation about a childhood animated film, "The Epic Story of Mr. Purrs-a-lot!," reveals to Sana that her courageous act in the Labyrinth was subconsciously inspired by that very film. This realization, combined with the earnest efforts she witnessed in everyone that day, helps her understand that stories are not an escape from reality but a source of inspiration for those living within it.
• Reinvigorated, Sana speaks with Nemu, who also confirms the power of creativity. Nemu suggests that Sana publish her illustrations as an e-book through Touka's social media efforts to help spread awareness of Magical Girls. Sana agrees, resolving to continue her art with renewed faith in its purpose.

A Few Days Later:

• Iroha goes to Mitama's to help Kanagi heal completely before they head out. At Ikumi's cafe, a memorial is held by Kanagi for her final performance. The Union mourns their losses, having learned they are being manipulated by the very power they sought to control, yet the conflict with Promised Blood continues.
• In Kamihama, the mayoral election concludes, and as the ballots will be called the following day, the political atmosphere remains tense. At Mitama's shop, she, Mikage, and Kagome watch a news report alleging election law violations involving minors, which they recognize refers to Mitama's own assistance with the eastern candidate's campaign. Mitama reveals she participated hoping to improve the east's reputation and, by extension, her own view of Kamihama. The report causes her significant distress.

• That night in Kamihama, Mitama, Mikage, and Kagome, who are then joined by members of the Tokime clan, investigate the election. Using Chiharu's sense for malice and a listening device, they overhear a conversation between the newly elected mayor and Touka's father. They learn the stone-throwing incident was a plot by western factions to frame the east and maintain negative stereotypes. This revelation devastates Mitama, causing her to nearly relapse into the despair that originally led to her Magical Girl wish. After the others sense her darkened magic, she is calmed by Kanagi and Momoko, but the event deepens the political schism.
• Iroha, after hearing Mitama's breakdown, has a personal revelation. She openly declares her resolve to "create a world where everyone can live" and save all Magical Girls, including those in Promised Blood, by ending the conflict without taking lives, focusing on their shared desire for salvation. Nearby, Lavi observes her.
• Later, in a separate meeting, Folklore of Zero, discuss these events. They have successfully isolated Nayuta and note Iroha's pacifist "Mohist" ideology. Lavi expresses doubt that Iroha's approach can succeed alone against the impending "Awakening," a central tenet of their own beliefs.

Part 6

Part 6 encompasses Chapter 7 and Chapter 8. It appears that at least a few days have passed since the end of Part 5, as Shizuku has gone back to work, and Sana has finished her e-book.

First Day:

• At night, Livia talks to Kyubey and updates him on the Kimochi's intentions. She asks him about his experiment, but he says he still needs more time to see the results. She reassures him that she will keep his request of keeping Kagome safe. Livia returns to Kamihama and meets with Yozuru and Sudachi, who have bought ingredients for food. She tells them about how they should keep Kagome safe, as their future depends on them.

Second Day:

• While working throughout the day, Shizuku tears up after the deaths of both Ryo and Ikumi. Meanwhile, Yuna, Juri, Hikaru, and Ao hold a council. With the Mirrors shortcut gone, Futatsugi is trapped, with no Witches to hunt, no funds to commute, and their connection to Kamihama severed. Yuna admits her miscalculation led to this and vows to fight on, abandoning the peaceful ideals of her respected senior. Juri recalls that Alina Gray was able to fight without being chosen by a Kimochi because she lacked interest in the Stones themselves. The group deduces that the Kimochi's Labyrinth rule only activates if a Magical Girl's objective is to acquire a Kimochi Stone or the Automatic Purification System. If they attack with pure killing intent, the rule does not apply.
• Yuna proposes making Futatsugi City the final battlefield. This eliminates their financial and logistical problems and allows them to deploy Magical Girls from the city who are unaware of the Kimochi Stones and thus immune to the Labyrinth rule. Ao reveals she has already informed allies from the Janomiya group, who are now on standby in Futatsugi. Yuna confirms these girls will serve as their vanguard to break the Union. Juri separates from the group to settle her own promises, tracking down and briefly fighting Shigure and Hagumu. After defeating them, Juri takes them to a family restaurant, explaining she is fulfilling her promises for good luck in the coming battle, which she reveals will be Promised Blood's last stand. She warns them that, despite Neo-Magius' fall, they should be careful around their new friends as the nicer someone is, the more dangerous they can be.
• The Union and their allies gather at Crescent House for safety. Yachiyo explains that Mifuyu, Tsukuyo, and Tsukasa are not present since they're still searching Mirrors for the missing Karin and Alina. The group discusses the grim reality that they, like Promised Blood, cannot hide indefinitely due to school and family obligations. Separately, Touka and Nemu struggle with their project to reveal the truth of Magical Girls to the world, finding their online efforts inexplicably ineffective, however Sana successfully publishes an e-book of her picture book and sends it to Sunao.

• Meanwhile, inside the Takarazaki Community Center, Himena attempts to use her Synthesis magic on objects but fails repeatedly, reducing her ingredients to charcoal. San arrives with Miyuri and decides to personally oversee Himena's training, theorizing that Himena can synthesize magic between people but lacks a concrete mental image for objects. She assigns combat training against Witches to help Himena develop visualization skills, and after defeating several Witches, Himena demonstrates improved control by visualizing her magic as transferring light from one person to another. San reveals that Phase 2 will involve synthesizing magic into objects using collected Grief Seeds, and Alexandra is expected to arrive tomorrow.

• After Sunao receives a message from Sana checking in on her, she discuses with Chiharu about how she believes that Promised Blood must be defeated in order to achieve peace.
• Lavi, Alexandra, Asahi, and Urara discuss the consequences of the upcoming Futatsugi battle. Lavi confirms that the conflict advanced her clock's hands toward the "Awakening," and that the Neo-Magius faction, now empowered, will accelerate this process. She identifies key individuals whose deaths would signify the point of no return, those being Touka, Nemu, Nayuta and Kagome. Lavi instructs Alexandra to withdraw from the Neo-Magius when they begin their major operations.

Third Day:

• Within the Tokime Clan, Shizuka reflects deeply on her purpose. She is haunted by the words of San, who argued that controlling people from above is sometimes necessary to strip away the "evil at the root" of society. She begins to question whether simply protecting people is enough, or if a more fundamental change to the world is required, a task only the Tokime Diviners could undertake.
• Sakuya confronts Iroha and Tsuruno at school, delivering an ultimatum from Promised Blood that the final battle will be in Futatsugi City. She threatens that if the Union does not come, they will destroy their four Kimochi Stones the following night. Iroha knows this is a bluff, as the Kimochi would resist or abandon them, but acknowledges the risk of the Stones being destroyed or reverted outside of Kamihama's protection is too great.

• Meanwhile, Alexandra arrives to the Takarazaki Community Center, and Himena spends hours attempting to synthesize her demotivation magic into a broom, then switches to Miyuri's magic, all without success. Shigure and Hagumu report feeling increasingly uncomfortable from repeated exposure to mixed magical energies. San suggests a change of scenery and asks Himena to help prepare for a community festival the next day. Himena agrees and heads home, while San asks Shigure and Hagumu to elaborate on their uncomfortable feeling.

• The Union and Tokime Clan hold a strategy meeting at Suitoku Temple, where they acknowledge the immense disadvantage of fighting on Promised Blood's home turf but conclude they have no choice. Shizuku, motivated by a desire to stop the cycle of hope being destroyed and to atone for her inability to save Ryo and Ikumi, contacts Iroha through the phone and begs to be of use. She does not seek revenge, but wants to help end the conflict.

Fourth Day:

• A plan is formed at Ryushin dojo around Shizuku's unique magic of teleportation. This provides the "one-shot reversal" Yachiyo had sought. The final roster for the Futatsugi operation is set: the members of Mikazuki and Momoko's team, plus the Tokime Clan. Kanagi and Hinano will remain in Kamihama to protect the city and the vulnerable former Magius members. Meanwhile, Livia, Yozuru, and Sudachi formally inform Kagome that they will be protecting her personally when she goes to observe the final battle, fearing she could be caught in the crossfire.
• Kanagi coordinates defense efforts in Kamihama. She ensures the evacuation of vulnerable Magical Girls, focusing on Touka and Nemu. Kanagi stations herself at Crescent House to protect them, while Mitama remains at her shop.
• Touka and Nemu, accompanied by Sakurako and later Kanagi, conduct research at the Chuo Ward library. They investigate historical records and city statistics, uncovering a pattern: incidents involving Magical Girls consistently fail to become public knowledge, a phenomenon they term a "Fantasy." They also research the legend of Tsuyu Mizuna and Chizuru, historical "Battle-Shamanesses" who were likely Magical Girls.
• Touka visits her father in the Medical Center. He reveals he now believes in Magical Girls and, alongside her missing uncle Tasuke, plans to protect them from public exploitation when their existence is inevitably revealed.

• In Kamihama, Nanaka learns from Akira and Meiyui that the Union and Promised Blood's final battle will occur in Futatsugi, with only Kimochi-chosen girls permitted to participate. Meiyui offers to arrange shelter in Takarazaki through her connections, and Nanaka, Akira, Kako, and Meiyui arrive and agree to help prepare for a local children's festival in exchange for lodging.
• Meanwhile, Himena cleans a warehouse alone, frustrated by manual labor. She senses approaching Magical Girls and recognizes them from descriptions as Kamihama girls. Fearing exposure, she hides but accidentally knocks something over, and Nanaka's group discovers her. Outnumbered four to one, Himena panics. Nanaka attempts peaceful resolution, clarifying they are not Union members, but Himena refuses to believe her. Nanaka's group decides to retreat and have Meiyui alter Himena's memory of their meeting. Kako and Akira create an opening, and Meiyui touches Himena, successfully altering her memory.
• San appears to check on Himena and reveals Meiyui's magic has a loophole. When asked, Himena's memory fully returns, and the two sides prepare to fight. The battle drags on with neither side gaining advantage. Himena, exhausted, formulates a risky plan and charges Meiyui, touching her with her broom and using synthesis to transfer Meiyui's own magic back at her, commanding her to forget the meeting. The spell takes hold, and Nanaka's group, now confused, believes they were simply retrieving supplies. They sense something wrong and decide to leave Takarazaki immediately.
• Himena and San return to the community center, injured but victorious. Himena demonstrates her perfected magic on Shigure with the broom, and San theorizes Himena subconsciously infused her own magic into the broom through prolonged use. Himena confirms the theory by successfully synthesizing Sasha's magic into a dustpan. She celebrates, acknowledging everyone's help, and reflects that they are now ready for the next stage of their operation. Meanwhile, Nanaka senses a familiar magical presence and recognizes it as an enemy, but decides not to act, sensing the situation remains too unclear.

• Shigure and Hagumu visit Mitsune, who has suffered a paralysis of her lower body after overusing her Doppel, similar to Nemu's condition. At the hospital, they see Touka, Nemu and Kanagi, who are aware of Mitsune and her condition. Back at the Neo-Magius base, the other members all insist they'd only made Mitsune use her Doppel once. Later that night, while she is alone, Mitsune regrets manipulating the election results, as she thinks of the demonstrations in Kamihama for a re-election.
• Simultaneously, the Amane sisters face a separate crisis, as Tsukuyo calls Mifuyu and lets her know neither of them will be able to attend meetings. Their families, on opposing sides of Kamihama's East-West political feud, discover the twins have been secretly meeting. Both are essentially placed under house arrest, severing their contact.

• Hinano, after a period of withdrawal, resolves to contribute to the Union's plan. She and Mifuyu guard Shizuku, whose portal magic is critical to the Union's operation in Futatsugi. Members of Promised Blood attack Shizuku's Kamihama residence, but Mifuyu and Hinano repel them.

• That night of the deployment Yachiyo confirms the plan: Team Mikazuki, Momoko's team, and the Tokime Clan will travel to Futatsugi City via Shizuku's magic. Shizuku awaits their signal and in Futatsugi, Yuna solemnly recites the names of her fallen comrades, vowing to reclaim the blood they shed.

• The Union and Tokime Clan move to confront Promised Blood in Futatsugi, while Kagome travels to the city under the protection of Yozuru, Sudachi, and Livia to document the event. She observes that Yuna chose this battlefield not only for its strategic value but to settle her grudge in the presence of her fallen comrades.
• Before the battle, the members of Promised Blood reflect on their motivations, and Yuna vows to avenge the dead Magical Girls of Futatsugi and acquire all Kimochi Stones. Her subordinates, including Sakuya, Ranka, Hikaru, Ao, and Juri, each grapple with their own reasons for fighting, from a desire for vengeance to a twisted longing for peace through dominance.
• The battle begins with a coordinated signal from Promised Blood. The Union and Tokime Clan's initial plan to capture Yuna fails when she reveals a backup force. Yuna exploits a loophole in the Kimochi's rules, deploying Magical Girls from Futatsugi who have no intent to acquire a Stone, allowing them to fight without being sent to a Labyrinth. This tactic gives Promised Blood a significant numerical advantage.
• Yuna's strategy involves dividing the enemy forces using Futatsugi's terrain, hunting them down individually, and then herding them toward a central location for a final annihilation. The Union and Tokime Clan members find themselves isolated and pursued across the city.
• Shizuka and Yuna clash over their opposing philosophies of leadership and sacrifice. Sakuya and Ryoko, formerly friends, fight with the understanding that one must kill the other. Juri battles Tsuruno, expressing that conflict is her fundamental nature. Ranka confronts Rena, her conflicted feelings about their past friendship causing her to ultimately let Rena escape. Ao, heavily influenced by her Kimochi, fights Yachiyo with a new, violent philosophy of achieving peace through preemptive domination. Iroha encounters Hikaru and reaffirms her resolve to end the conflict and save everyone.
• Despite their efforts, the scattered members of the Union and Tokime Clan are systematically maneuvered into a single location. Yuna and the full force of Promised Blood surround them, declaring the battle won and preparing for the final assault.

• As the battle in Futatsugi intensifies, Shizuku prepares to execute her role, ready to teleport the besieged Union and Tokime Clan forces on their signal.

• During the final battle in Futatsugi, Yuna orders Promised Blood to execute the wounded Union and Tokime Clan members by destroying the unfinished building they'd been cornered into. As Promised Blood deliver the final blows, Shizuku teleports the besieged forces to safety nearby, and then returns to Kamihama. Yuna realizes her plans to assassinate Shizuku in Kamihama, as well as the Union and Tokime forces in Futatsugi both failed.
• The Union and Tokime Clan counterattack, and gain the upper hand on the battle. Yuna, with her forces cornered and desperate, absorbs the Kimochi Stones from Juri, Hikaru, and Ao, despite knowing the risk of being controlled. Yuna's transformation inspires Promised Blood to fight back again, including Ranka, who goes up against Momoko's team, as well as Sakuya, who goes against Ryoko. Asahi and Urara attempt to stop the latter, however the clash ultimately ends up killing Sakuya.
• The members of the Union try to fight against and defend themselves against Yuna, however when she hears of Sakuya's death, the power of four Stones overwhelms her, and the Kimochi begin to erode her mind and body, making her go berserk as the Kimochi no longer agree with her.
• Kagome, witnessing the battle, defies her protectors and rushes to the front lines to protect one of the lesser members of Promised Blood, where Yuna's uncontrolled attack gravely injures her. Iroha resolves to save Yuna alone and follows her into the catacombs beneath Futatsugi.

Fifth Day:

• Inside the catacombs, Iroha connects with Yuna's consciousness through her own Kimochi Stone. She sees her mind being consumed by the Kimochi and she witnesses Yuna's and Futatsugi's past: the constant warfare in Futatsugi, the death of her mentor, her hatred for Kamihama's Magius, and her deep-seated guilt and grief. Yuna, in turn, sees Iroha's memories of her forgotten sister Ui and her unwavering resolve to save everyone.

• Iroha communicates directly with the Kimochi inside Yuna, assuring them she means no harm and will take them to the Automatic Purification System. The Kimochi release their hold on Yuna, and through this shared experience, Yuna finally understands Iroha's genuine nature. She chooses to trust Iroha personally, though she maintains her resentment toward Kamihama as a whole.
• Immediately after the battle as others arrive into the catacombs, Yuna officially disbands Promised Blood and ends the vendetta against Kamihama. She explains to her followers that uniting all eight Kimochi Stones may be the key to their liberation and agrees to a temporary alliance with the Union and Tokime Clan. Yuna gives the Kimochi Stone of Opal to Juri, Pearl to Ao, and Aquamarine to Hikaru.
• Outside at dawn, Yuna and Iroha talk about Sakuya, and Yuna gives Iroha her Kimochi Stone of Garnet, trusting her to give it to Kanagi as atonement. Yuna departs from Iroha's group and goes back inside the catacombs with Promised Blood. She asks the others to leave her alone with Sakuya's body for a while and apologizes to her, promising to help Ao and everyone in Futatsugi as she would have wanted.
• In Kamihama, Nayuta wakes troubled by the realization that her uncle has taken her father prisoner, likely to steal his research on Magical Girls. Lavi advises her to verify the truth rather than speculate, and Nayuta decides to confront her uncle directly rather than approach Touka first. Lavi privately resolves to free the professor herself.
• In Futatsugi, Kagome awakens in the hospital, having survived her critical injuries with her mother in the room. She learns the conflict between the factions has ended, but new developments are dividing the Magical Girls.
• Nayuta goes to confront her uncle in his office. He denies everything, claiming her father is simply hospitalized for tests due to exhaustion. Nayuta is escorted out, unconvinced.
• Later, the Union and Tokime Clan members part ways with Promised Blood and return to Kamihama. Mitama uses her Coordination to heal the severely wounded, including Momoko, Rena, Kaede, Ryoko, and Asahi.
• In the aftermath, Shizuku explains that her portal magic has weakened after she found her personal resolution last night, no longer needing to search for a place to belong. She can now only utilize it within Kamihama Ciy. Meanwhile at Suitoku Temple, the Tokime Clan also discover that Asahi's body is covered in older, severe scars, prompting an investigation into her origins.
• Meanwhile, at the hospital in Futatsugi, Yuna waits for Urara to awake. Urara, revealed to have been an undercover investigator, is given permission to stay in Futatsugi.
• At the Coordinator's caravan base, Lavi and Puella Care discuss the aftermath of the Promised Blood conflict. One person died, Urara and Kagome were seriously injured, and Yuna surrendered after facing Iroha. Alexandra notes that with Iroha working to prevent conflict, Himena will now push the world toward the Awakening.

Sixth Day:

• The next day, Nayuta meets with Mikage, who offers to question Touka directly while Nayuta listens through telepathy. Meanwhile, Lavi uses magic planted on a pen during previous hospital visits to locate the professor. When Mikage calls, Touka is shocked to learn about her uncle's confinement and immediately confronts her father. He admits he lied, claiming Tasuke has given up on his theory. Touka tells Nayuta only that the two men are now working together. Nayuta remains suspicious, and Lavi confirms the professor was in Touka's old hospital room and has already freed him.

• After parting ways with Nayuta, Mikage goes to the Tomorrow Shop candy store in Sankyo Ward with Sudachi. They feel useless after failing to protect Kagome and wish they could become dependable adults. At the shop, a group of children from the West harass Mikage for being from the eastern Daito Ward. They cite news reports and parental warnings that label the East as dangerous and connected to criminals. The confrontation escalates when one child throws a rock, striking Mikage in the head. The elderly woman chases the children off and tends to Mikage's injury.
• Mitama and Kanagi arrive and witness this incident. Mitama, already filled with resentment towards the city for the ostracization she faced, confronts the children. She declares her hatred for the entire city and states she will no longer tolerate discrimination that impacts daily life. Kanagi reflects that the younger generation's perpetuation of these attitudes spells despair for Kamihama's future.

• Meanwhile, Nayuta receives a message from her father asking to meet in front of a coffee shop. She rushes to reunite with him, but then Touka arrives and demands her uncle return for an important meeting. Tasuke decides to go voluntarily, revealing he found documents proving his brother actually believes him. Nayuta pleads with him not to leave, but Touka blocks her path, reminding Nayuta she cannot transform. Unable to hurt her cousin, Nayuta lets her father go.
• Before leaving, she mentions strange things happening in other towns, such as students in Yukuni know about Magical Girls and believe dangerous rumors. After Nayuta departs, Touka wonders aloud if her uncle is connected to something called "The Destruction."
• That night, Himena's team goes to Mitsune's hospital room and Himena celebrates that their efforts to reveal the truth about Magical Girls are progressing well. San divides everyone into units to make contact with various groups. While Lil' Kyubey is talking to Kyubey, Himena interrupts them and chases after Lil' Kyubey, but he escapes. Kyubey notes that Kamihama continues to change and Himena invites Kyubey to come see for themselves. That night, San approaches Shizuka, Shigure and Hagumu approach Ao, and Miyuri approaches Kanagi.
• At the meeting, Tasuke addresses the mayor and officials. Contrary to expectations, he declares that Magical Girls are nothing more than a delusion and that he was led astray by urban legends. Touka's father is horrified, asking what this means for Nayuta and Touka.

Battle Museum

The placement of this event is done based on the release order of the first part of the event, which concerns Yozuru Sasame. As most of the other parts can't logically take place during their release order, all of them are grouped within this section.

Yozuru Episode:

• A rumor spreads among the Magical Girls of Kamihama City about Nemu's book. The Uwasa are said to still exist inside the book, though they lack the magic to affect the outside world. A new rumor claims that if you visit the Memory Museum inside the book, you can get back to your roots as a Magical Girl.
  • At Crescent House, Yachiyo confirms she has heard the rumor. Ui reveals the Memory Museum is real and the Uwasa truly do still exist inside Nemu's book.
  • At the Puella Care trailer, Livia confirms that by syncing their Soul Gem with Hiiragi Nemu, a Magical Girl can enter the Memory Museum. She warns there is risk involved, as forgotten memories are not necessarily happy ones. She agrees to help those who wish to enter.
• Yozuru enters the Memory Museum to see for herself if it can help Magical Girls become stronger by returning to their roots. What she sees is painful: her former self, snarling and full of anger, shortly after her mother died.
  • In the memory, a Magical Girl confronts Yozuru about her selfishness, accusing her of never giving thanks and always causing problems. Yozuru acknowledges she is weak but refuses to be chained down, recalling her mother's words that being deprived of freedom is the greatest misfortune. She dissolves the team.
  • Livia appears, having heard about a weak Magical Girl with a terrible personality. She offers to recruit Yozuru as an apprentice. Yozuru refuses and leaves.
  • That night, Yozuru stumbles into a Witch's barrier while her legs are still paralyzed from Livia's adjustment. Unable to fight, she reflects on her weakness and realizes Livia saw through her completely. As she is about to die, Livia arrives with other Magical Girls to save her, demonstrating that friendship is a Coordinator's power.
  • Afterward, Yozuru admits her problem was not that she could not fight, but that she did not know what it meant to live strongly. Livia explains that if you cannot fight, you must figure out the best way to survive. Yozuru realizes Livia's words echo what her mother tried to teach her, but this time she is ready to accept them. She agrees to become Livia's apprentice.

Sudachi Episode:

• Livia tells Sudachi that if she recalls her original resolution at the Memory Museum, she can grow as both a Magical Girl and an adjuster. Inside the book, Sudachi remembers herself right after the incident where a gunman broke into her classroom. Her classmates offered her as a sacrifice, but her wish caused everyone else to die. Afterward, she became afraid to choose anything.
  • In the memory, Sudachi is fighting Witches because she was told it is a Magical Girl's mission. She is too weak to win and secretly hopes to die to atone. A pink Magical Girl recognizes her from the news and asks what she wished for. Sudachi runs away.
  • Later, Sudachi is on the verge of being killed by a Witch when Livia and her allies save her. Livia brings her to the trailer and explains she is a traveling adjuster. She recognizes Sudachi from the news and reveals that adjusters can sense when a Magical Girl wished for a curse. Livia herself made such a wish.
  • Livia confronts Sudachi about avoiding choices, explaining that not choosing is itself a choice. She argues that dying to atone helps no one, but living to save other Magical Girls might balance the scales. She offers Sudachi a little whiteboard to communicate and asks if she wants to become an adjuster. Sudachi agrees.
  • Livia visits Sudachi's mother and arranges for Sudachi to live in the trailer for training. There, Sudachi meets Yozuru, Livia's other apprentice. To Livia's surprise, Yozuru can understand Sudachi through telepathy while Livia cannot. Sudachi decides to live and atone by saving others, making this her true start.

Kanagi Episode:

• Kanagi gathers Magical Girls from the East at Mitama's shop and announces she is stepping down as the Union's Eastern leader. The girls are shocked and demand an explanation. Kanagi explains that she sided with the Neo-Magius and tried to destroy Kamihama, and while they forgave her, she was never voted into leadership. She wants to pass the mantle to the next generation.
  • Mitama asks how Kanagi became leader in the first place. Kanagi agrees to share what she saw at the Memory Museum.
  • In the memory, a newly contracted Kanagi discovers the West hates the East for no reason. She finds comfort in protecting her side of town. However, she also discovers that Eastern Magical Girls fight each other over territory instead of uniting. She tries to convince them to cooperate but is repeatedly rejected.
  • The turning point comes when Eastern Magical Girls severely wound a Western girl. Yachiyo and Mifuyu arrive to negotiate. When no one steps forward to represent the East, Kanagi declares she will become their leader. Despite her inexperience, she negotiates with Yachiyo and agrees to discuss terms later.
  • As leader, Kanagi faces harassment from veteran girls who provoke the West. She abandons diplomacy and uses force to dominate, leaving no room for the West to take advantage. She becomes recognized as the leader, but the Eastern girls feel she is overprotective and meddling. Kanagi accepts this, believing she can still keep them safe even if they do not understand her.
  • Back in the present, the girls are moved by her story but unanimously point at her when asked who should succeed her. They argue she is not scary, just awkward, and that she is doing her best to change. Kanagi agrees to keep her position for now, noting that someday the next generation will have to take over.

Ren Episode:

• At the Memory Museum, Ren sees a nostalgic sight: her first attempt to end her life. As she fell from a height, she felt fear and made her wish: "I don't want to die." After becoming a Magical Girl, she learned that Witches cause people to hurt each other. She resolved to defeat all Witches and create a kind world. But she soon realized eliminating Witches would not remove malice from people's hearts, and she despaired, attempting suicide a second time. Rika saved her.
  • In the present, Ren's class is assigned a career survey. She realizes she has never had a dream to follow. She recalls her ideal of defeating all Witches but knows it never came to pass. She still wants to live, thanks to Rika, but is unsure of her future.
  • Later, Ren visits Emiri's Counseling Room and laughs with her friends. She reflects that she now has cherished friends and a place she belongs, all reasons to live. But she still wonders why she wanted to live back when she had nothing.
  • At home, Ren sees a news report about rising suicide rates among students. She realizes that if she had succeeded, she would be just another statistic. She wonders if that thought is arrogant.
  • That night, unable to sleep, Ren calls Rika just to hear her voice. Rika keeps her company until she falls asleep. In a dream, Ren sees a world where she died and nothing changed, but she also sees kindness she had not noticed before.
• She wakes understanding that Rika taught her kindness, which allowed her to see kindness from others. When she wished not to die, she was hoping the world was not as cold as she knew it. She just wanted a simple, gentle ordinary life. Now she wants to share that kindness with others who are in despair. She tells Rika her future path: to help people who feel pain over being alive. Rika supports her.

Nanaka Episode:

• At the Memory Museum, Nanaka recalls her encounter with Kyubey and how becoming a Magical Girl altered her destiny. The Kashin-style school of flower arrangement, preserved by her family for generations, was usurped by senior disciples after her father fell ill. Her bedridden father drilled into her: "Take back the school."
  • In the memory, Nanaka summons Sasao, the most diligent of her father's disciples, who nevertheless joined the betrayal. Nanaka reveals she now possesses power from her contract and has confirmed her physical abilities surpass human limits. She asks Sasao why she betrayed the family.
  • Sasao explains that Tanito, the most senior disciple, led the betrayal. Many opposed him at first, but one by one they switched sides until Sasao was isolated. Tanito made threats, and Sasao eventually gave in out of fear. Nanaka thanks her and resolves to confront Tanito.
  • Nanaka confronts Tanito but finds him unresponsive, barely capable of conversation. She suspects he is under a Witch's Kiss and that the true enemy is the Witch behind him. However, this assumption proves flawed. It took time and many allies to uncover that the real culprit was hiding behind the Witch.
  • Nanaka also realizes Kyubey is her enemy. That moment marked the true beginning of her revenge.
  • In the present, Nanaka gathers Akira, Kako, and Meiyui in a hotel room. She asks for their help with an acquaintance in trouble. Meiyui suspects it involves Nanaka's lucrative but shady side business. Nanaka insists it is a respectable act of helping someone in need and asks them to act with compassion. They agree to help.

San Wants to Be Honest

• One day at a campground in Kamihama City, San announces a two-day, one-night military-style boot camp to strengthen Neo-Magius unity, immediately opening fire on the leaders for their lax attitudes. Despite Himena's protests, San runs them through intense mock battles and formation drills. During a break, San answers her phone in a noticeably cutesy voice, speaking to her youth group—Himena, Shigure, and Hagumu overhear and are delighted by the gap between Instructor San and Youth Group San, much to San's mortification. Training resumes with increased intensity through the day. That night, Alexandra and Mitsune find San alone and ask for self-training recommendations. Impressed by her kindness, they thank her, and San decides to apologize tomorrow for her earlier embarrassment-driven harshness.
• The next morning, San tries to apologize but cannot get the words out due to embarrassment. Himena teases her about her phone voice, so San abandons the apology and orders a mock battle where she easily defeats all three at once. Later, alone at a restaurant, San struggles with her feelings until Mitsune and Alexandra find her and reassure her it is okay to be cool, strict, kind, and childish all at once. Suddenly, Himena sends a group message challenging San to compete, with Shigure and Hagumu seemingly quitting. San fires up and leaves to teach them one more lesson.
  • That evening, everyone gathers at Miyuri's campground. Himena sets the rules for a mock battle: if San wins, she can ask one thing. The group coordinates attacks and uses underhanded tactics, showing their growth. After San breaks their glass balls, Himena reveals their real goal: they knew San had something to say since yesterday, so they started this fight so she could say it afterward. San finally apologizes for taking out her embarrassment on them. Himena apologizes too and admits she likes San being a cute little sister type. San offers to treat everyone at the convenience store as a reward. As they eat, everyone thanks her, and San promises to treat them again after the next boot camp. Himena then asks when the next youth group meeting is, wanting to see the kids San acts cute around—San blushes as everyone gets curious.

Miyuri on Practice!

• One day, Miyuri nervously calls Rui for advice about an upcoming doujin convention, admitting she gets anxious on the phone. Rui happily agrees to accompany her, excited that someone younger is relying on her. When Miyuri mentions her favorite cosplayer Biinasu will be there and launches into detailed appreciation of her legs, Rui gently advises her to be mindful in public.
  • Later at the Neo-Magius storeroom, Himena notices Miyuri's convention checklist. When Miyuri enthusiastically explains she buys works featuring legs, Himena teases her about her about it. Miyuri proudly admits it and begins commenting on everyone's legs, recommending Shigure wear a garter belt and high socks. Shigure, frozen in fear, calls her gross. Miyuri notices San has arrived, realizes she went too far, and runs out crying.
  • Miyuri calls Rui in despair, saying her life is over because everyone discovered her preference. Rui awkwardly suggests training to get stronger. Miyuri latches onto this idea and embarks on increasingly desperate training methods: attending an idol concert to view legs, avoiding looking at legs entirely, attempting waterfall training, and climbing a mountain alone where she gets lost. Throughout, she has flashbacks to her childhood, watching a girl skate and feeling fascinated by her legs in motion.
  • As evening falls, Hagumu and Shigure find her. When Shigure briefly leaves, Miyuri assumes she is being avoided and runs away again, deciding she must stop liking legs, toss her books, and apologize. Rui receives a call where Miyuri says she is giving up everything and this may be the last time they speak. Rui fears she might be planning something worse.
• The next day, Miyuri visits Mitsune in the hospital to apologize for not investigating the convention as requested, then stands outside ready to toss her books. Rui uses her eye to check Miyuri's fate and, sensing something wrong, finds her at Satomi Medical Center. She explains that throwing away what you love leads to regret and offers to help Miyuri learn self-control instead.
  • They go to a shopping district to identify what triggers Miyuri. There they encounter Nemu and Sakurako. Miyuri telepathically asks Nemu not to reveal anything about magical girls. When Nemu notices Miyuri looks pale and asks what is wrong, Miyuri explains her struggle. Through conversation, Miyuri rediscovers her childhood memory: watching a girl skate, fascinated by her legs in motion. This was the origin of her obsession, born from her own identity as an athlete who valued legs.
  • Nemu explains that childhood passions shape who we are. Rui shares her own experience of regretting throwing away her work and believes Miyuri's friends will accept her. Miyuri realizes her leg preference stems from her identity as an athlete and decides she can be proud of it while keeping it appropriate. She thanks everyone and returns to Neo-Magius.
  • Miyuri apologizes for ignoring everyone. Shigure apologizes for calling her gross and reveals she transferred Miyuri's checklist onto a detailed spreadsheet and bought the garter belt and high socks Miyuri wanted to see her wear. Miyuri explains she discovered her preference started with inline skating and will restrain herself but not stop loving what she loves. Himena says they all love Miyuri as she is and welcomes her back. When Miyuri immediately dives for San's legs, San tells her to restrain herself and suggests Shigure put on the outfit first. Miyuri eagerly agrees as Shigure panics. Himena notes Miyuri has not really changed, and Miyuri declares next she will have Himena wear fishnet tights, giggling like a madwoman.

Chapter 8

The story of Chapter 8 is given to Kagome through second-hand sources, and it's relayed in a non-linear narrative. Because of this, parts of the story have been reorganized and consolidated in such a way that the flow of the information would be easiest to understand. As each branch's length is different, it is impossible to discern whether any of them happen in different days when they're on separate branches.

Prologue:

• During Kagome's hospitalization, Urara visits and announces her departure from Promised Blood, stating her true allegiance was to the group Folklore of Zero. She explains that her actions to protect others would not alter the future her group foresaw, which was dependent on whether the existence of Magical Girls became public knowledge. Livia arrives and offers for Puella Care to assist Kagome with her chronicling duties as an apology for her injury, which Kagome gratefully accepts.
  • Urara wakes in a Futatsugi hospital, reflecting on her failure to protect Sakuya and the revelation that Yuna knew she was a spy all along. After being visited by Lavi, who urges her to draw her own line with Promised Blood before leaving, Urara is discharged and attempts to depart quietly but is pulled into faction disputes. Yuna privately releases her from any further obligation.
  • Later that day, at Crescent House, Lil' Kyubey attempts to communicate a warning to Iroha and the others. Through a series of questions, Yachiyo deduces the warning was related to the Automatic Purification System, but the specific details of the threat remain unclear.

Neo-Magius & Folklore of Zero Branches:

• Lavi and Alexandra discuss the current situation, as Alexandra could not telepathically communicate with Asahi as she was still unconscious. The Kamihama Magia Union has acquired all eight Kimochi Stones, and the Automatic Purification System is poised for activation. Alexandra resolves to confront Himena to convince her to stop fighting, believing hope from the Tokime Clan could change her mind. Livia arrives, acting as a substitute chronicler for the injured Kagome.
  • Livia recounts an argument between Tasuke and his brother, Touka's father. Tasuke's brother has invested in a political career to find a way to save Magical Girls, but Tasuke now insists that publicly revealing Magical Girls is a fatal mistake that will only lead to their destruction. He claims the only option is to prolong their lives.
  • Tasuke later meets with Touka and Nemu. They reveal they know his hypothesis but refuse to accept resignation. Driven by their genius and curiosity, they intend to overcome the "insurmountable wall" of destruction, and Tasuke vows to stop them.
  • Nayuta waits anxiously for her father, and Lavi and Livia are present when Tasuke arrives. He explains his long absence: his research led him to a horrifying hypothesis that if the existence of Magical Girls becomes public knowledge, it will cause widespread despair and lead to their ruin. He hid this truth to protect Nayuta from giving up hope. He reveals the current conflict in Kamihama is an unintended experiment to test this hypothesis.
  • Lavi confirms she has been working with Tasuke all along to monitor the situation and ensure Nayuta's safety. Nayuta is devastated, feeling her entire friendship with Lavi was a lie. The emotional shock causes her to faint and release her Doppel.
  • After Nayuta recovers, Tasuke and Lavi leave her a choice. They invite her to join Folklore of Zero in Yukuni to observe the hypothesis' verification from the sidelines, or to stay home and watch the outcome without interference. They apologize for their deception but affirm their genuine care for her.
  • Nayuta decides to go with them, however as they prepare to leave, they receive a message from Touka. She announces that she and Nemu have finalized a plan to reveal Magical Girls to the world using the Rumor of the Eternal Sakura and invite everyone to watch. Tasuke realizes he must postpone their departure to witness this final, critical event.

• Himena and San, Miyuri, Hagumu, and Shigure bond over their shared emotional wounds and their desire to change. They believe their collective effort to spread Magical Girl Supremacy is their greatest strength. The group's covert operations progress favorably. They successfully manipulate the Tokime Clan's Head Family and recruit Ao Kasane from Promised Blood. Alexandra reveals she has located the operational radio telescope in Hokuyo Ward, which they plan to use to broadcast Himena's voice across the city.
  • Himena had previously questioned Livia about the Endless Mirrors Labyrinth, specifically its property of creating copies of those who enter. She is disappointed to learn that these copies cannot leave the Labyrinth and are difficult to control, making them unsuitable for her synthesis ability. Livia also warned Himena that the historical east-west division in Kamihama is basically a ticking timebomb.
  • San pressures Himena to master her ability to synthesize with substances, not just people, as it is crucial for their strategy. Shigure informs Himena that she captured a Mirrors clone of Mitsune, hoping to use it for synthesis experiments. Himena declines, having abandoned the idea of using copies, and decides instead to synthesize her ability with the radio telescope and the unique magic of Meiyui Chun, believing this combination will allow her to "change all the rules."
  • Alexandra confronts Himena, pleading with her to abandon the plan and join forces with Iroha instead. She argues that using and manipulating so many people is wrong and that the plan could get them all killed. Himena refuses, stating her love for Hiko and her ideals are non-negotiable. Faced with an ultimatum to choose between her or the Neo-Magius, Himena chooses the latter. Alexandra leaves the group, warning Himena that the Neo-Magius' plan will kill her. Himena declares she is willing to become a slaughterer for her cause, blaming the people around her for making her this way.

Tokime Clan Branch:

• Yozuru observes the Tokime in behalf of Kagome. At Suitoku Temple, Shizuka announces the clan’s decision to ally with the Kamihama Magia Union and Promised Blood. She resolves not to force the Tokime Clan's philosophy onto others, despite her personal disagreement with Yuna's methods. The injured members, Ryoko and Asahi, are in recovery. Shizuka, Sunao, and Chiharu decide to travel to the Tokime Village to research Asahi's branch family and investigate the origin of her scars.
  • At the temple, Ryoko grapples with the guilt of killing Sakuya. A conversation with Asahi about the dignity of life gives Ryoko a new purpose: to honor Sakuya's memory and guide her soul to Nirvana by living a life without regret. Meanwhile, Asahi reveals to Chika that her scars are "lessons" that "predators cannot be saved," but avoids further explanation. Chika senses a deep loneliness in her.
  • Shizuka, Sunao, and Chiharu return to the Tokime Village, where Shizuka collapses from exhaustion and stress, overwhelmed by the evils she witnessed outside the village. Her mother warns that her new ambition to actively lead people onto a path of righteousness, rather than support them from the shadows, will inevitably lead to more conflict. The group learns that Asahi's family, the Miura line, originated from a branch family in a village now incorporated into Yukuni.

• The trio travels to Yukuni City. They discover the local population is aware of Magical Girls and Witches. A gang of students soon confronts them, accusing Magical Girls of attracting Witches and being evil creatures destined to become monsters themselves. They reveal they are responsible for Asahi's scars and threaten the trio with violence. Shizuka nearly attacks them in a rage over the torture of Asahi, but Sunao and Chiharu restrain her.
  • Back at Suitoku Temple, Asahi confesses the truth to the others. In Yukuni, public knowledge of the Magical Girl System has bred widespread fear and hostility. Magical Girls are hunted and tormented, reducing their numbers to only four. Asahi then reveals her true allegiance is to Folklore of Zero, an observation group consisting of the four remaining Magical Girls from Yukuni.
  • Despite this revelation, Shizuka does not cast Asahi out, trusting her deeply and considering her family. Asahi nevertheless chooses to leave the Tokime Clan to avoid causing internal discord. Before departing, she tells Shizuka that the Tokime Clan's pure pride gave her hope, but she now fears Shizuka is on the verge of being "engulfed by the world's evils." This conversation solidifies Shizuka's resolve that she must teach people righteousness and actively fight against evil.

Alina Branch:

• Alina and Karin journey deeper inside the Endless Mirrors Labyrinth. Alina communicates with Mikoto, who reveals she is the consciousness of the Witch Endless Mirrors. Mikoto explains she was a Magical Girl who used self-suggestion magic to cope with a miserable home life. When she began to turn into a Witch, her self-suggestion broke, flooding her with negative emotions. In that moment, she resonated with Mitama Yakumo's wish to "destroy Kamihama." To survive, Mikoto implanted her persona and memories into another Magical Girl, Hanna Sarasa, and has since transferred between hosts like a parasite once more, reaching Alina. Gathering energy from the Witch Eve gave her the power to manifest fully.
  • Mikoto asks Alina to join her in destroying everything. In return, Alina demands her lost memories back. Mikoto complies, and Alina recalls her original artistic philosophy: humanity unconsciously desires destruction, and she intended to provide a magnificent, global masterpiece of annihilation. Alina rejects Karin's "Reformation Project" and enthusiastically embraces Mikoto's "Evolution Project" to bring about destruction. The two hide themselves deeper within the Labyrinth, leaving Karin on her own.

Union & Promised Blood Branches:

• Sudachi observes the Kamihama Magia Union for Kagome. They're in a state of uncertainty due to a proposed alliance with Promised Blood, and a deeper issue of distrust between the Magical Girls of Kamihama's east and west districts. Magical Girls from the east, including Mito, Seika, and Reira, express their apprehension about the alliance and their distrust of the west, citing incidents of violence and social ostracization. Kanagi and Mitama acknowledge the problem and seek to understand the eastern members' feelings.
  • The Union holds a meeting where the internal discord becomes clear. Eastern and western members, as well as those from the south, voice strong opposition to the alliance with Promised Blood. Iroha and Yachiyo recognize that mending the east-west rift is a prerequisite for any successful alliance. Iroha attempts to contact Yuna to provide an explanation to the Union, but Yuna delays her response due to similar internal turmoil within Futatsugi.
  • In Touka's lab, Iroha asks what the two have been up to. Nemu reports that Sana's picture books have been selling well, but Touka's attempts to reveal information about magic in the internet have failed to gain any traction.
  • Yachiyo, Mifuyu, Mikage, and Sudachi visit an elderly shopkeeper in the west. The shopkeeper shares a local legend about the historical figures Tsuyu Mizuna and Chizuru, who led a rebellion but later parted ways, causing the people to split into the eastern and western factions. This legend is presented as a possible ancient origin of the city's divide. During this visit, a child from the west who previously assaulted Mikage apologizes, and Mikage forgives him, demonstrating a potential for reconciliation.
  • Iroha, Yachiyo, and others investigate the archives of the Ryushin Dojo, searching for historical documents on Tsuyu and Chizuru. They find only a single document that confirms the historical conflict but provides no reason for the schism.
  • Around this time, Karin returns from being missing within the Endless Mirrors to Kanagi's workplace. Kanagi tells them of everyone's location and Karin rushes to go to the dojo herself. There, she reveals that the Witch of the Endless Mirrors was a Magical Girl named Mikoto Sena, who possessed Alina. Alina, now with her memories restored, remains missing within the Mirrors. Yachiyo recalls being told that Mitama theorized that the identity of Endless Mirrors was a Magical Girl named Mikoto.
  • While Kanagi works at her maid cafe, Momoko visits her to relay information from Karin. Concurrently, Mikage delivers the same news to Mitama, who is deeply troubled, as the date Sena Mikoto became a Witch coincides with the day she made her own wish to destroy Kamihama. Later that night, she confesses this to Kanagi, believing her wish is an inescapable curse that will inevitably be fulfilled.
  • Around the same time, Kanagi and Mitama are separately approached by the Neo-Magius members San and Miyuri. They are invited to a meeting. Ao also receives an invitation and encourages Kanagi to attend. Kanagi agrees, reasoning that Mitama will likely join the group regardless.

• The Union holds a full assembly and Yachiyo addresses the group, advocating for reconciliation between east and west to ensure their collective survival. She uses the example of Mikage's forgiveness as a model for moving forward.
  • Yuna arrives and deliberately provokes the assembly by openly stating her enduring hatred for Kamihama and detailing her past strategies to divide them. This inflammatory speech causes an uproar and nearly sparks a battle, which Yachiyo and Mifuyu manage to subdue. Yuna then clarifies that her actions were a calculated performance to unite the Union against a common enemy—herself—thus bypassing their internal suspicions. She formally declares that Promised Blood will ally only with Iroha personally, not the entire Union, and reveals she has already given her Kimochi Stone to Kanagi as an apology.
  • This resolution, though unorthodox, is accepted and allows the cooperative framework to proceed. Later, Kanagi and Mitama travel together to a meeting with the Neo-Magius. Kanagi expresses her own growing despair over the entrenched East-West conflict in Kamihama, citing the recent incident where a child threw a rock at Mikage. Later at a cafe, Mitama and Kanagi meet San, Miyuri, Shizuka, and Ao. San outlines the Neo-Magius' goal of Magical Girl supremacy, which would position them as gods above humanity. Himena then also reveals herself to be alive, and explains her plan to achieve supremacy.
  • Kanagi attempts to read Himena's mind but is blocked by the presence of Hiko in her consciousness, confirming Himena is not insane but calculating. Impressed by the group's resolve and seeing a path to her own goals, Kanagi agrees to join. The four new members—Kanagi, Mitama, Shizuka, and Ao—declare their allegiance to the Neo-Magius.
  • Later that night, Kanagi gets a call from her father and learns that her younger brother, Sougetsu was severely beaten by a group of men from a western-affiliated organization that had previously sabotaged the eastern candidate in the mayoral election. The police show a suspicious lack of interest in the case.
  • Ranka also meets up with Momoko's team in the arcade and makes amends. She reveals she intends to show Yuna the places Sakuya frequented soon. In the aftermath, Iroha and Ui begin preparations to move out of their secret bunker and back to Mikazuki Villa, though they cannot find Lil' Kyubey.
  • Following Yuna’s decision to ally with the Kamihama Magia Union, the members of Ryuugasaki, led by Juri, strongly oppose the alliance. Juri, bored and lacking motivation without a fight, decides to reignite conflict by proposing a civil war between Ryuugasaki and Yuna’s faction, Torayamachi.

• Yuna, attempting to manage her student council duties, learns of the skirmish. She recognizes the deep divisions within Futatsugi and her own role in fostering them. When Iroha contacts her for an explanation to give the Union, Yuna delays her response, prioritizing the internal crisis.
  • Yuna calls a meeting with the leaders of Futatsugi’s districts: Juri of Ryuugasaki and Ao of Janomiya. The meeting fails to reach a consensus, with Ryuugasaki members vehemently against trusting Kamihama. Juri proposes a representative match: if she wins, the war continues; if Yuna wins, it ends. Yuna reluctantly agrees to the fight in a desperate attempt to unify the city.
  • As the sisters prepare to battle the following day, Ao plots to kill them both in their weakened state to seize power for herself. In the arcade, Ranka overhears Ao’s plan and is alarmed by her increasingly extreme and dangerous mindset.
• Heading to Kamihama, Urara accidentally stops at Sakuya's former school and witnesses her juniors' victory, overhearing how deeply Sakuya impacted others. Meeting with Lavi's group, she remains uncertain about drawing her line until she hears news of a duel between Yuna and Juri over Promised Blood's alliance. She decides to return to Futatsugi one last time.
  • Meanwhile in Kamihama, Kanagi learns that her workplace, the maid cafe, has been receiving threats not to employ anyone from Daito Ward, and that another cafe was forced to close due to such attacks.
  • This series of events become Kanagi's final breaking point. She tracks down and violently assaults the members of the organization responsible, leaving many in critical condition.
  • That night, in the aftermath, Kanagi confronts her Doppel, which represents her inner self. It convinces her that she has crossed a point of no return and that true equality for Kamihama can only be achieved through total destruction. Kanagi fully accepts this path, resolving to become a true villain to break the city's cycle of conflict, even if it means hurting those she loves.

• The police investigate the brutal attack on the saboteur group's base, with the only lead being insufficient to track Kanagi.
  • At the catacombs, the fight between Yuna and Juri escalates. Yuna pleads her case to the onlookers, explaining that she still holds a grudge against Kamihama but trusts Iroha’s goal to save all Magical Girls. Just as Ao moves to attack the exhausted sisters, Iroha arrives unexpectedly at the Futatsugi catacombs.
  • Iroha explains she came to pay her respects to the Magical Girls who died in the Bloody Tragedy. She formally apologizes for the Magius’ actions and asks for forgiveness, promising to carry the souls of Futatsugi’s lost girls with her into a future where all Magical Girls can be saved. Her sincere words move the members of Promised Blood and effectively resolve the immediate conflict.
  • After Iroha departs, Ranka informs Yuna and Juri of Ao’s murderous intent. They confront Ao, who admits she would betray them if she felt they could no longer protect her. The group decides to monitor Ao closely.
  • Iroha's visit makes Urara realize her lingering regret is for Sakuya and remembers her request: if anything happened, Urara should take one of her certificates from Yuna's house as a memento. She decides this is her line to draw.
  • She spends the rest of the day visiting places filled with memories, then arrives at Yuna's house to discover the group has been secretly planning a farewell party. They drag her shopping, and when word accidentally spreads, nearly all of Promised Blood arrives to help and insists on attending.

• After school, Yuna cannot locate Juri and fears she has gone to attack Janomiya. She eventually finds Juri at their old base, about to shatter her own Soul Gem. Juri reveals she believes her violent nature is a threat to the new, peaceful era and that Futatsugi would be better off without her. Yuna convinces her to live by giving her a new purpose: to help save Ao.
  • Yuna and Juri visit the graves of Ryo and Ikumi, where Hinano is also present. She states she does not mourn them but thanks them, as their deaths proved the Union also suffered loss, which helped convince her faction to ally. Hinano takes offense at this, and Yuna promises the Union her support, though she clarifies she cannot fully bear the weight of their deaths. Yuna makes Juri promise not to die until they save Ao.
  • The farewell party for Urara begins. After performing a juggling act, Urara finally reveals her true purpose: she came for Sakuya's memento. Inside a certificate tube, she finds a letter Sakuya left, expressing worry that Urara might leave quietly and hope that she would instead connect with Yuna and the others, assuring her that her place was with them.
  • Moved, Urara receives a farewell board signed by everyone and departs on good terms. Back with Folklore of Zero, Lavi praises her for drawing her line. Urara admits she still wants to believe magical girls can be saved, despite knowing the fate that awaits them.

The Inheritors of Our Souls

• Kagome wakes in the hospital and learns she is being discharged today. A pencil mascot of Aru speaks to her for the first time, explaining she wants to investigate Jeanne d'Arc together.
  • Kagome meets Torte inside her own mind. She introduces herself as a girl from 15th-century France who entered Kagome's consciousness through a place called the Ark of Feelings. She wants to learn how Jeanne d'Arc is remembered in the future. Kagome goes to the library but finds no books about Jeanne d'Arc. She visits Crescent House to greet the members of Mikazuki and while Iroha, Yachiyo and Ui remember Jeanne's name, Felicia and the others do not. The sky suddenly turns pitch black, a purple moon appears, and even the network goes down. Kagome is pulled into the Ark of Feelings.
  • In the Ark, Kagome meets with Torte, Pernelle, Nicholas, many of Darc's allies and even Darc herself. After facing the still-Magical Girl version of Isabeau, made possible through an offshoot Mirror Witch Labyrinth that connected to Isabeau around 1400. Torte makes a contract with Cube to preserve Darc's legacy. A new pen appears, which she delivers to Kagome’s past self through a dream. She destroys the mirror, ending the time paradox, but sends the pen to Kagome through her wish.
  • Returning to the present day, Kagome wakes in the hospital again. The nurse tells her she is being discharged today. She has no memory of the journey. She goes to the library and researching Jeanne d'Arc, she reads that after Jeanne's death, France indeed won victory after victory against England.
    • In 1449, Charles VII recaptured Rouen.
    • In 1450, he ordered a retrial.
    • On July 7, 1456, the Church declared Jeanne's heresy trial invalid.
    • On May 6, 1920, Jeanne d'Arc was canonized as a saint.
    • The Praguerie rebellion of 1440 was quickly suppressed when Dauphin Louis surrendered. He later became King Louis XI and named two daughters Jeanne in her honor.
  • Kagome visits Crescent House and notices her interview records have increased. They contain names of Magical Girls she does not know: Pernelle, Melissa, Elisa, Liz, and Jeanne d'Arc. The handwriting is hers and her mechanical pencil has an Aru charm, which makes Kagome confused, as she has no memory of buying it. Kagome reads the records alone, which tell the story of her journey. She cannot fully believe it, but she feels the feelings written there are real. Sana suggests she give her collection of Magical Girl interviews a name, and Kagome decides to name it Magia Record.

Part 7

Part 7 encompasses part of Chapter 8, all the way to the end of Chapter 12, including the epilogue of Arc 2.

First Day:

• The day of the gathering arrives. Yachiyo notes it is unusual for Lil' Kyubey to be missing for multiple days. As the groups prepare to unite the eight Kimochi Stones, Momoko calls with troubling news that Mitama and Kanagi have disappeared. Similar disappearances are reported across all factions, with Shizuka, Ao, and other lower-rank members also missing.

• At Seaside Park in Minaminagi, the remaining members of the Kamihama Magia Union, Tokime Clan, and Promised Blood gather. Despite the absences, they proceed with their plan with the five present Kimochi. Iroha calls upon the Kimochi to entrust her with their Stones, but as she receives them, the Kimochi suddenly go berserk and attack, specifically targeting Ui. Ui senses the Kimochi are in pain.
• Before the situation becomes dire, Kanagi, Mitama, Ao, and Shizuka arrive and subdue the rampaging Kimochi. Ui senses something wrong with Kamihama City, even stopping Hinano from using her Doppel against the Kimochi. After their defeat, Kyubey appears and reveals he has been inside the Automatic Purification System's core, gradually taking control. He now controls the system's force field and can turn the Doppel phenomenon on and off at will. It also reveals Lil' Kyubey had been interfering, and as Lil' Kyubey returns to Iroha, he says he'll keep observing him. Kyubey explains Ui is the only one who can reclaim the system, as she is the origin of Eve and can control the Purification System and the Kimochi.

• With this knowledge, the group realizes they still have all eight Kimochi Stones present and Ui can use them to enter the system. However, Kanagi, Mitama, Ao, and Shizuka reveal they have formed a new alliance with the Neo-Magius. The main five members of the Neo-Magius appear, with Himena revealing she'd faked her death, and declare their goal for Magical Girl Supremacy, aiming to rule over humans while maintaining equality among Magical Girls. They have tree of the eight Kimochi Stones, with Mitama also claiming the Garnet Pinky while Iroha holds the other four.

• Mitama reveals her wish was always for Kamihama's destruction, and she no longer sees reason to hold back despite seeing Mikage's wish while coordinating her. Kanagi believes becoming a common enemy will unite the city's people. Ao admits she never truly believed she could escape being exploited and decided to rule instead. Shizuka argues that guiding humans away from evil requires Diviners to rule over them.
• The remaining Magical Girls are horrified and Chiharu and Sunao refuse to follow Shizuka's path. Mikage vows to bring Mitama back. The groups realize the Neo-Magius intends to prove Magical Girl superiority by driving humans into a corner, potentially repeating the Wings of the Magius' actions.
• Later that evening, at the Rumor of the Eternal Sakura in Hokuyo Ward, Kagome arrives to find Touka, Nemu, the four Folklore of Zero members, Nayuta, and Tasuke. Touka and Nemu announce they will use their lives to spread the truth about Magical Girls. They send a message to Ui, explaining their plan requires her, Kagome, and Iroha to live on until the promised time.

• With Sakurako's guidance, Touka and Nemu assume their positions, transform and their bracelets, punishment for their past sins, explode. They're sent to the hospital, where Touka's father screams in grief upon seeing them. At Crescent House, Sakurako confirms to Ui that the two are still alive but refuses to reveal their location.

Second Day:

• At Suitoku Temple, Iroha's redistributed her Kimochi Stones to her allies. She keeps Sapphire Lips for herself, gives Aquamarine Heel to Yuna, Opal Head to Juri, and Diamond Hair to Chiharu. They've realized that as long as the Kimochi are in their bracelet forms, Kyubey can't rile them up, so they should be careful when passing them to others. However it also appears that the Kimochi aren't limited to the twelve select girls anymore either.
• Yuna announces she will return to Futatsugi for the holiday to handle school and money matters. She learns Ao has gone back there too and orders reserves to watch her. Chiharu and Sunao discuss contacting Shizuka, who read their message but did not reply. Sunao mentions the picture book Sana drew for her and Sana confirms she made it to offer Shizuka a new perspective on good and evil.
• Meanwhile, Neo-Magius members meet separately. Himena confirms they still plan to use the radio telescope to tell all of Kamihama about Magical Girls, but too many enemies nearby prevent them from acting right away. San understands the delay, and Himena feels excited because Promised Blood now faces money troubles that force them back to Futatsugi, giving Neo-Magius a perfect chance to weaken them further. Hagumu worries that the telescope has security set by Touka in the past, so any early warning could let the other side strike first. Shigure thinks going public already might have been a mistake if they cannot move quickly, but Himena insists that Neo-Magius will attack first. Miyuri cheers the progress toward earning respect for Magical Girls and turning San into a god, but San quickly stops her because Shigure and Hagumu only know about revealing Magical Girls to the public, not the harsher steps Himena now plans. Shizuka privately decides the plan makes sense even if it causes damage, since she views Kamihama as full of evil under a bad leader; she believes they must destroy that evil first to set the stage for the Tokime Clan to guide everyone toward goodness, and she even considers overthrowing Himena early to make her own clan the saviors. Himena keeps sending messages to Alexandra that go unread, begging her to reply.

Third Day:

• While Shigure and Hagumu live their daily lives, Shigure messages Hagumu with worry about making people believe the telescope broadcast, and Hagumu realizes she knows no details either. Miyuri asks San if they really must hide the full telescope plan from Hagumu and Shigure. San admits it feels hard but explains the group's plans have shifted to forcing supremacy through extreme actions that would drive Hagumu and Shigure away if they learned the truth. Miyuri wonders if San truly accepts how this could ruin her ties to her village and youth association, but San replies she came prepared for those relationships to change and plans to become a benevolent god who protects people even if Himena turns into a destructive one. She blames Himena’s sudden harsh turn on terror over losing Alexandra, the only person besides the deceased Hiko who truly cared for her.

• Nayuta, Tasuke, Lavi, Asahi, Alexandra, and Urara arrive in Yukuni City. Nayuta reflects on the apparent deaths of Touka and Nemu, uncertain if their plan to reveal Magical Girls will lead to salvation or more misfortune.
• Upon arriving in Yukuni, Lavi warns the group to be cautious, as the city's students are hostile toward Magical Girls. Their fears are confirmed when Nayuta is suddenly kidnapped by a student group called the Eradication Faction, led by Kurara, Urara's former partner.
• During Nayuta's captivity, Kurara and the other students confront Nayuta. They accuse Lavi and her friends of causing numerous deaths and mental breakdowns among the student body in the past. They claim that after the Magical Girls left, the city became peaceful, and they view their return with Nayuta as a sign of renewed danger.
• After Nayuta's rescue, Lavi and the others rescue Nayuta and retreat to a guesthouse, which is revealed to be Lavi's family home. Tasuke explains that he previously used this location as a base to write his book and research Magical Girls.
• Nayuta learns the full story of what happened in Yukuni. Lavi, Asahi, and Alexandra attempted to reveal the existence of Magical Girls to gain understanding and comfort for their tragic fate. Initially successful, their actions soon led to a chain of misfortunes, including student deaths from a Witch, a separate accident, and an avalanche. The public turned on them, blaming every disaster on the Magical Girls. Despite Tasuke's efforts to help them regain trust, the situation deteriorated. The Magical Girls that remained alive were driven out of the city after an incident where they "destroyed everyone's spirits."
• At her home, Tsukasa is frustrated that her father has confined her since learning about her relationship with Tsukuyo. She decides she has waited long enough to act and Tsukuyo messages her about Promised Blood heading home to Futatsugi for the holiday, urging her to help the Union now. Take visits and shares that their boss wants to wait for things to calm down before letting Tsukasa out freely. Tsukasa thanks him and promises his favorite dinner as repayment. She reflects that Touka and Nemu always pushed harsh methods yet genuinely risked their lives for Magical Girl liberation, while she and Tsukuyo have only leaned on others.
• That night, Nayuta discusses the events with her father. Tasuke reveals his hypothesis that the universe itself may have a "will" or an "immune system" that actively works to suppress the truth about Magical Girls to protect the energy cycle they fuel. He theorizes that the misfortune in Yukuni and the current conflict in Kamihama are manifestations of this cosmic self-cleansing, a force that eliminates threats to the system. He sent Lavi's group to observe Kamihama to test this theory, fearing that revealing Magical Girls will only lead to despair.

Fourth Day:

• Iroha and Ui visit the hospital hoping to see Touka and Nemu, but staff allow no visitors. Mifuyu explains that the bracelets were meant to kill them on activation, yet they survived because their Soul Gems stayed intact. Ui asks if they will recover, and Iroha hopes so but admits confusion over why they stay unconscious. Mifuyu decides to store their Soul Gems in Touka’s secure private room for regular purification since distance would mean their bodies would die and worsen their condition. She asks Iroha and Ui to check on them sometimes because her own Endless Mirrors investigation and other duties might keep her away. They spot an old instruction manual Touka wrote to help Nemu manage her web novels and sales which reminds Iroha of Sana’s new picture book for Shizuka, and she suggests using the app’s gift feature to send it digitally so Shizuka might actually read it.
• After learning the truth about Yukuni City, Nayuta reflects on Tasuke's hypothesis that a cosmic "will of the universe" actively suppresses the revelation of Magical Girls. She remains unsatisfied with this conclusion, suspecting her father may have become disheartened by past failures. Lavi's mother expresses gratitude to Nayuta and Tasuke for providing Lavi a safe home away from the bullying she endured in Yukuni.
• Nayuta volunteers to run an errand in town, secretly hoping to confront the hostile Eradication Faction. Lavi and the others initially refuse, citing the danger, but relent and accompany her when Nayuta sneaks out on her own.
• As they walk, the Folklore members explain their shared goal. They came to Kamihama to test Tasuke's hypothesis, acting as observers infiltrated into various factions to see if attempts to reveal Magical Girls would be thwarted by cosmic forces, as they were in Yukuni. They describe themselves as connected by their shared "resignation." Lavi tells Nayuta that if she wishes to be part of their group, Folklore of Zero, she must also give up her hope.

• Momoko, Kaede, Rena, and Ranka work to calm Karin after she panics over Endless Mirrors. Juri shows up, and Ranka explains she was worried about Karin and physically stopped her from rushing alone into Mirrors to rescue Alina. The group heads to the arcade to let off steam, while Momoko goes to check the East for more defections after Kanagi left, though luckily, warnings in advance kept most girls from following.
• At Mitama's Shop, Mikage talks quietly with Sudachi and vows to bring Mitama home, even if they end up fighting and Mikage struggles to forgive her. Sudachi uses telepathy to confess she had killed several classmates with her wish to prove Mikage’s heart can stay kind no matter what. Mikage refuses to hate her and promises to help her remain gentle, which convinces Mikage she will never truly hate Mitama either. Separately, Himena receives a reply at last and happily tells San they can arrange a polite pickup, ready to find out if it is genuine.

• In Yukuni, the group is confronted by Kurara and the Eradication Faction. Nayuta tries to argue that Magical Girls are not malicious, but Lavi intervenes and withdraws. To make Nayuta understand their resignation, Lavi and the others take her on a tour of the sites of past tragedies in Yukuni: the location of the initial fatal explosion, the parking lot where their magic went wild and destroyed the minds of students during a reconciliation attempt, and the site of the bus accident that Urara survived but which fueled further hatred.
• After hearing these stories and witnessing the group still dutifully fight Witches despite their trauma, Nayuta is heartbroken but remains resolved. She tells Lavi she cannot give up her hope, as she wants a future where the Folklore members can be saved and be happy.

• Tsukasa cooks Take’s favorite meat and potatoes dish, tricks him into leaving with a phone call from their boss, and slips out alone. She meets Himena in secret, confirms Promised Blood leaves for Futatsugi tomorrow, and explains she will join Neo-Magius to become feared villains who rewrite Kamihama history—only then will the city drive her and Tsukuyo out and free them from old ties. Himena welcomes her, promising Magical Girls cannot be expelled and can choose to stay or leave freely. Shizuka also receives the gifted picture book from Sunao and wonders what Sunao means by it, ready to treat any joke harshly as clan leader.

Fifth Day:

• After talking with Rii at home, Kagome visits the Coordinators to ask about Neo-Magius activities, since no one detects their magical signatures in Kamihama. Livia knows nothing, but Himena suddenly arrives for a power-up adjustment. She chooses Livia over Mitama to avoid risks if Mitama peers inside her mind and discovers the plan. After performing the adjustment, Livia tells Kagome that she will no longer remain neutral, as the plan she saw would bring the future Lavi feared. With no other leads on the Neo-Magius, Kagome decided to check on the Tokime Clan.
• Neo-Magius gathers, including Kanagi, Mitama, and Shizuka. Himena reassures them she avoids harming Magical Girls unnecessarily and focuses on supremacy to save everyone. Kanagi and Mitama target Kamihama's history and people instead, while Shizuka aims to purge the city's evil. San reminds them conflict remains inevitable with Union and others. They plan to act during the break when Promised Blood stays away, and Kanagi offers to lure Union members out so Himena's group can infiltrate Crescent House undetected.
• At Crescent House, Yachiyo, Tsuruno, and Felicia puzzle over the Neo-Magius' intentions. They dismiss the civic center base and consider the radio telescope tied to old Magius operations, but find no activity there. Kanagi messages Yachiyo offering intel on the Neo-Magius' plans but warns of sharp opponents and suggests preparing contingencies with a public meeting spot. The group suspects a trap given Kanagi's earlier resolve, yet decides to go with Momoko's team while Iroha, Sana, and Ui follow as backup.
• In Futatsugi, Yuna manages Promised Blood logistics amid family limits and financial strains. Hikaru reports steady watch on Ao with no issues and Yuna receives Kanagi's message through the Union. She views it suspiciously as a lure, but recognizes the Neo-Magius movement requires heightened alert.
• At Suitoku Temple, Iroha and Sana ask Sunao about sending Sana's picture book to Shizuka; Sunao confirms its delivery and read status but no reply. Sana doubts its impact as an amateur work, but Sunao insists it could help if shared in person. Sunao summarizes the story: a timid turtle learns kindness makes her valuable, ignores a trapped tiger's pleas as a villain, yet a white bird rescues the repentant tiger, revealing the turtle had judged wrongly. Sana explains the turtle represents her, the tiger Yuna, and the bird Iroha, inspired by Iroha's words that all fight to be saved despite differences; she hopes it promotes rejecting conflict for collective salvation.
• Yachiyo texts Iroha to alert her of Kanagi's likely trap in Minaminagi, instructing a small advance group while Iroha's team trails for potential flank. Sunao prepares the Tokime Clan as Shizuka approaches, detected alongside Ao's earlier appearance. Chiharu and Kagome confirm Neo-Magius mobilization, and Iroha hopes Sunao conveys their feelings through the book to persuade Shizuka.
• Yachiyo, Momoko, and others meet Kanagi and Mitama with their reinforcements. Kanagi admits the message served as bait to draw them out; neither plans to return. Mitama and Kanagi declare they will become a great evil uniting others against Kamihama's rotten history and fulfilling their destructive wishes meaningfully. They attack briefly, then Mitama paralyzes the group with her pre-set fabric magic and tampering their Soul Gems. Kanagi takes Lil' Kyubey as a souvenir, and they leave a hatching Grief Seed as distraction before departing.
• Kanagi and Mitama anticipate the group moves to the cargo port for safe fighting, using it as pretext to empty the villa. They reaffirm no intent for serious harm among Magical Girls but proceed with their resolved path.
• Himena, Shigure, and Hagumu wait near the radio telescope and Kanagi signals success by destroying the villa computer and disabling the alerts. They enter using Mitama's old Magius-era passcode, start the system—modified for ease—and confirm readiness once they acquire Meiyui's perception-altering magic to synthesize through Himena's power, broadcasting the altered reality city-wide beyond mere value shifts.

• San and Miyuri confront Nanaka's team to capture Meiyui. A battle ensues where San's absolute defense and Miyuri's relentless assault overwhelm them until Iroha, Ui, Sana, and Hinano intervene. Hinano's chemicals temporarily knock San out, forcing them to retreat without Meiyui.
• Himena faces iris recognition security Touka added. She spares Shigure and Hagumu the sight of comatose Touka, tasking San with photographing her eye while they fetch Mitsune for potential synthesized falsification magic without risking her becoming a Witch.
• Iroha's group reaches the paralyzed team, removes the fabrics, and handles the hatched Witch. Reports flood in of widespread Witches, which Neo-Magius have spread as a strategy to scatter forces. Nanaka's team volunteers to fight Witches threatening civilians, freeing Mikazuki to check the Crescent House.
• Back at the house, searches reveal nothing stolen or damaged, leaving everyone confused about the intrusion's purpose.
• At Suitoku Temple, Kagome observes the standoff between Sunao, Shizuka, Chiharu, Ryoko, and Chika. Chiharu asks if Shizuka had left the Neo-Magius to return, but Shizuka states that it was the others who had rejected her as family head. She's there not to rejoin the clan, but to convince her former followers to support her vision of Diviners ruling as gods to purge evil. Shizuka outlines her plan to have Himena be in charge initially, and if she causes suffering to people outside Kamihama, Shizuka would strike her down to earn the Diviners the respect of the people. Sunao compares Shizuka's methods to Mikoshiba, and Chiharu adds that Himena is a person who could commit evil with a pure heart, without malice. Sunao declares she would not let Shizuka leave, and Shizuka orders her accompanying branch family members to buy her time to escape. Despite Sunao's cry, Shizuka flees.
• After Shizuka escapes, Ryoko assures Chiharu that speaking forcefully was necessary to reach Shizuka. They all describe their ideal image of the Tokime Clan, which involves exterminating Devils and helping everyone indiscriminately. They resolve to find Shizuka and Chika communicates with animals to track her. Sunao apologizes to Kagome for departing and Aru asks Sunao whether the branch family members who followed Shizuka were those who had their wishes assigned to them in the clan's ritual. Sunao confirms this, shocked she hadn't noticed the pattern herself. Kagome apologizes for the impertinent observation, but Sunao is grateful, and she concludes that Shizuka and the branch families were seeking self-meaning and resorted to extremes because of it.
• Shizuka's mother calls Chiharu. She had a premonition and called after Shizuka didn't answer. Chiharu explains how Shizuka and some branch families had joined the enemy, believing Diviners must guide people to prevent corruption. Shizuka's mother states she would not take sides and would accept whichever side won, but to win, they must either change Shizuka or kill her, as she had raised Shizuka to be prepared for that.
• Chiharu's mother intervenes, taking the phone. She admonishes Shizuka's mother, stating Shizuka was just a girl who bore pressure because she wasn't alone but supported by her peers. She tells Shizuka's mother to be honest about her love for her daughter rather than rationalizing her death. Shizuka's mother concedes that she is right and apologizes.
• Elsewhere, Shizuka reflects that she agrees with Kanagi and Mitama that destruction could be a final means for change, but saw Himena as different and selfish. Shizuka plans to take Himena's head if she oversteps, to show the people a kind-hearted Diviner watched over them. She questions aloud if she was like Mikoshiba, but a branch family member reassures her they aren't acting on selfish desires. Shizuka notices a bird, which is Chika's animal informant.
• The others find Shizuka, who had anticipated them. Shizuka declares she will stop them there and used her personal magic to create invisible walls and stop them. She states she will keep them there until the Neo-Magius' plans were complete. Sunao realizes Shizuka could sustain it indefinitely if branch members supplied her with Devil's Souls for purification. Ryoko devises a plan to talk to the branch family members and, with Chiharu, Ryoko begins a forced sermon for the trapped branch members with her unique magic.
• Ryoko lectures the branch members, arguing that the old Tokime Clan operated in the shadows as part of Mikoshiba's rule, but historically, they knew the world and still protected the land. She also states one cannot understand good without understanding evil, just as light creates shadow. By trying to be a beacon of pure goodness, they were inadvertently creating evil. A branch member realizes their clan's history was one of being ruled and cut off. Before Mikoshiba, the clan knew the people, understood their evil, and still made wishes for them. They conclude that to teach good, one must also acknowledge evil.
• The branch members apologize to Shizuka, stating they now saw what the Tokime Clan should truly hate. With their support withdrawn, Shizuka's hold falls and she resorts to her Gaze Locking technique. Sunao, seeing no other choice, declares she has to kill Shizuka, but Chiharu grabs Sunao's arm, admonishing them for treating lives too lightly. Chiharu makes an emotional plea for the three of them to stay together as they were when they set out. She begs Shizuka to come back so they could support each other, restart the clan, and avoid pushing people into extremes of good and evil. Shizuka responds that it was already too late.
• Kagome notes that Shizuka and the branch families were bound by a duty to protect the land, and breaking free from that history would be a source of hope for all Magical Girls. Kagome asks Rii to relay a message to Chiharu and Sunao. The Uwasa quickly delivers the message and Chiharu understands the plan is to use the Kimochi Stones, just like with Iroha and Yuna, might allow Shizuka to understand their thoughts.

• Juri and Ranka, who had tailed Neo-Magius Feathers to a mountain base, debate assaulting it. Yuna calls Juri, ordering her and Ranka to meet Chiharu and Sunao and lend them Juri's Opal Kimochi Stone, which was filled with respect. Yuna explains this was Iroha's idea, as Shizuka would need the feelings of those close to her. Yuna acknowledges the risk of the Kimochi taking over but says it is worth the chance. Juri agreed, and they departed.
• Having been ordered by Himena to retrieve Mitsune from the hospital, Shigure and Hagumu link Himena's increasingly radical behavior to Alexandra's departure. Himena plans to synthesize Mitsune's falsification magic to bypass security for the radio telescope operation. To mitigate the risk of Mitsune turning into a Witch, Himena plans to not let Mitsune use it, but rather take it for herself. They encounter San and Miyuri on the way to the hospital, where San is mixing a powder for an undisclosed purpose to avoid conflict.
• Shigure and Hagumu enter Mitsune's room, as she's recovering from her legs being paralyzed. Shigure and Hagumu update her on the plan to use the radio telescope to spread knowledge of Magical Girls, framing it as making them heroes, thus turning Mitsune's online "lie" into reality. However, Mitsune tells them about her "true self," who was a lonely girl playing games in her room. Being a heroic Magical Girl was a lie she wore and Himena had previously asked her to "falsify the goals of the western candidate" in the Kamihama mayoral election. Mitsune had realized too late this was not to help people but to destabilize the East and manipulate Kanagi and Shizuka, paving the Neo-Magius' path to victory. She believes this unforgivable act means she could never be a hero or face the ghost of Jun, who she now fully remembers. She reveals San had stopped her from telling Shigure and Hagumu earlier, but she pleads with them to stop Himena.
• San and Miyuri, unable to access Touka's room, encounter Mifuyu, who is guarding it. San proposes Mifuyu joins the Neo-Magius, citing Tsukasa's defection and Mifuyu's debt to Touka and Nemu. Mifuyu refuses, stating her debt was to Touka and Nemu, not their ideology, and that they gave her a chance to dream by tutoring her. Mifuyu asks what the Neo-Magius is planning, and San, after checking the time with Miyuri, reveals it. The revelation horrifies Mifuyu, whose vision becomes shaky. San reveals she had used a special chemical blend secured by Feathers on Mifuyu, thanking Hinano for the lesson earlier. San and Miyuri leave to find Shigure and Hagumu.

• Shigure and Hagumu, reeling from the news about the election, resolve to flee with Mitsune and beg the Union for help to stop Himena. The three discuss a message from Alexandra confirming the grim nature of the operation. They express not wanting this future or to kill anyone, and Shigure recalls Juri's advice about dangerous "nice" allies. They escape by jumping through the emergency exit before San and Miyuri enter.
• At the radio telescope, Himena is frustrated by a prerecorded taunting message from Touka that prevents access and alerted authorities. She acknowledges Mitsune's magic was now essential.
• Meanwhile, at Crescent House, Iroha receives a message from Tsukuyo that Tsukasa is missing, reminiscent of Mitama's disappearance. Felicia yells, having found proof that Mitama and Kanagi had indeed broken into their house. Yachiyo surmises that Kanagi and Mitama had broken the computer in Touka's room, specifically its power supply, to prevent alerts from Touka's systems. Given the Neo-Magius' goal, they deduce the target is the radio telescope, which they plan to use, as was done once before to lure Walpurgisnacht, to spread the ideology of Magical Girl Supremacy across Kamihama.

• Immediately after Mifuyu's capture, San and Miyuri transport her. San receives a call from Kanagi, who reports that Yachiyo and the main Union force are en route to the radio telescope. Kanagi states her team will stall them and San also learns that Shizuka's team has not reported in from Suitoku Temple. San leaves Miyuri to take Mifuyu ahead and goes to check on Kanagi's squad.
• Elsewhere, the standoff continues between Kanagi, Mitama, and the the girls of Mikazuki, where Kanagi explains she gave Lil' Kyubey to Himena. Iroha and Ui plead with them to stand down, but Kanagi and Mitama explain their resolve to use force to change Kamihama, stating that trust and dialogue have failed. Shigure, Hagumu, and Mitsune arrive, fleeing from San and begging the Union to protect Mitsune. San is able to take Mitsune and leave, however Mitsune uses telepathy to let Shigure know that she won't let them take advantage of her that easily. Shigure reveals the Neo-Magius' true plan is to use the radio telescope to broadcast a signal that uses Mitsune's falsification magic. This signal would make people unable to eat or drink without acknowledging the superiority of Magical Girls, breaking the population through fear and instinct.
• Yachiyo confronts Kanagi, who confirms her involvement in this plan. A battle erupts as the Union tries to break through to the telescope. Kanagi and Mitama, aided by their Neo-Magius Feathers, successfully stall the Union forces.

• Meanwhile in Yukuni, the group prepares to return to Kamihama. As they leave Yukuni, Nayuta reaffirms her determination to create a future where Magical Girls are saved. On the train, Lavi reflects on their role as bystanders and fears that if Kamihama meets the same fate as Yukuni, proving the universe's will is hostile, Nayuta will come to despise them.

• Concurrently, Sunao and Chiharu have a standoff with Shizuka, and Juri and Ranka arrive, giving them the Kimochi Stone of Respect to enter Shizuka's heart. Chika receives a message from the Union detailing the Neo-Magius' plan for the radio telescope and Chiharu and Sunao enter Shizuka's heart. They find it frozen over, but through a role-play based on Sana's picture book, they help Shizuka realize that her method of purging evil by inflicting suffering is flawed. Shizuka understands that true virtue involves healing the suffering that causes wrongdoing, not punishing the wrongdoer. She apologizes to her clan and decides to lead them not as a solitary ruler, but with the support of the branch families. The reunited Tokime Clan also heads for the radio telescope.
• Shizuka contacts Iroha on the phone to inform her the Tokime Clan is on the way. Tsukuyo also broadcasts a telepathic warning to all Magical Girls in Kamihama about the Neo-Magius' plan. Yuna and the Promised Blood faction, having dealt with Ao, arrive to reinforce the Union. With their combined numbers, the Union breaks through Kanagi and Mitama's defensive line.
• Inside the radio telescope facility, Himena uses Mitsune's falsification magic to disable the final security and then Mifuyu's magic to synthesize the broadcast signal. San notes that despite Mifuyu's magic being for hallucinations, she'd previously used it for self-suggestion at Hotel Fenthope, so she'll do. As the Union advances to the radio telescope, Tsukasa declares that even if Tsukuyo warns everyone about the situation, it will not change the outcome. Iroha directly refutes this and reports that Tsukuyo's voice has been heard, and a great wave of Magical Girls is gathering around the radio tower.
• Yuna debates with Ao about her dream about the Magical Girl world, but Ao just concludes that while achieving her goal is difficult, it is still possible. Hikaru pleads with Ao to return to them, but Ao insists on continuing and becoming someone who no one can threaten. Yuna and Juri then declare their intent to remind Ao what fear is. A fight between the three and Ao commences, during which they brush her aside and then proceed toward the telescope. They leave Ao behind and tell her that their goal was to get to the telescope the entire time, which enrages Ao.
• The Tokime also approach the telescope and Hinano announces they have broken through and instructs the group to follow her. Yachiyo defeats Kanagi, having successfully countered her mind-reading power, and proceeds with her team. Iroha prepares to give the order for a combined attack, but Himena abruptly announces that their time is up, shocking her. Himena reveals she has already now destroyed the telescope after sending the signal, as she doesn't need it anymore, also thanking Mifuyu for providing her magic. San orders a full retreat for the Neo-Magius, with Miyuri offering Shigure and Hagumu a chance to return with them, but both refuse.
• Kagome arrives to the scene and confirms that the effect is real, as when she tried to drink, she became very nauseous instead. She deduces Himena's plan is to wait until the population suffers from this condition and then reveal the existence of Magical Girls. Citing information from her phone, she states the human body can survive only about four days without water. Therefore, a countdown for the city's survival has begun, with Kagome's own life also at risk.

• Mikage asks Tsukuyo for help in getting everyone in the East and West to make up to put Mitama at ease. Tsukuyo is taken aback but agrees to help after learning Mikage wants her sister back from the Neo-Magius and that they share the same goal. Tsukuyo notes Mitama hasn't heard that Mikage made up with the child who bullied her at the Tomorrow Shop, and Kanagi likely doesn't know either. Mikage aimes to prove people from both sides can get along with "Operation Friendship," which Tsukuyo agrees to join. Their operation starts at the Tomorrow Shop, where Mikage gathers grade schoolers to help with the project, and Tsukuyo convinces one of the children's sister, an older girl who was also a member of Tsukuyo's koto club. It was at this time that everyone in the shop, with the exception of Mikage and Tsukuyo, become unable to eat or drink. Tsukuyo receives a telepathic message and concludes the situation is the work of the Neo-Magius, and Mikage gets a message from Shigure that the mayoral election rift was stirred up by Himena behind the scenes, and the now current mayor from the West disgraced the Eastern candidate not by her own will. Tsukuyo states that if they tell Mitama and Kanagi the truth, it might not be enough to bring them back, so they decide to continue with Operation Friendship. Tsukuyo telepathically tells Mikage she will meet up with Iroha's group and contact Mikage on her way to the West, while Mikage says she will swing by her house.

• At the Puella Care trailer, Livia confronts Kyubey, accusing him of inciting Himena. Kyubey denies this, but Livia tells him that if he attempts any funny business, they will withdraw their cooperation.

• Nayuta reflects on her discoveries about how in Yukuni, Magical Girls revealed their existence to friends and it backfired, causing harm and resentment. Her father's research into historical figures rumored to be Magical Girls found none were publicly known as such, leading to his theory that the universe actively suppresses anything inconvenient to its energy cycle. Nayuta refuses to accept salvation is impossible and resolves to go to Kamihama City to witness firsthand what happens when Magical Girls' existence is about to be revealed, determined to find hope for the future.
• Lavi, Alexandra, Asahi, Urara, and Tasuke discuss the situation. Lavi confirms, based on a message from Shigure to Alexandra, that Himena has initiated her plan to inform the world of Magical Girls' existence. Alexandra notes Himena has made it impossible for people in Kamihama to eat or drink, which will create an unbridgeable gap between humans and Magical Girls, even if their existence becomes known. Urara suggests the universe's self-cleaning effect might not activate if this path isn't comforting for Magical Girls, but Tasuke counters that if humans become afraid, fewer will contract, also threatening the universe's energy supply.
• Outside Puella Care's trailer, Livia, Yozuru and Sudachi have finally tracked the magic signature of Himena, which had been concealed by coordination. They vow to snuff out whatever plan she is involved in.
• Inside the Kamihama Civic Center, Himena confirms to San and Miyuri that she has been honest with Shigure about her plans, including using Mitsune's falsification magic to manipulate the Kamihama mayor's goals and intentionally involving townspeople. She admits she cannot create the future she and Shigure both wanted, but her motive stems from a desire to force people, like her disapproving mother, to acknowledge her relationship with Hiko. San confirms she and Miyuri chose to stay to support Himena's plan for them to become gods of the Fire Festival. San reports they successfully tracked down and expelled Shigure and Hagumu to the Union, but Himena remains confident, stating Shizuka bought them time and that she has tricks prepared, even if dozens of Magical Girls attack. San secures a promise from Himena not to involve the people of Hikarizuka.
• Himena addresses the remaining Feathers through a stage announcement. She declares only 11 hours remain until Magical Girls' existence is revealed and urges them to obey her final instructions to achieve Magical Girl supremacy.
• From the satellite base, Kagome observes the hundreds of thousands of affected people in Kamihama, including Magical Girls' families. Many Magical Girls react with horror about their families, and Iroha questions Shigure and Hagumu, who claim they didn't know the plan would go this far but accept blame. Iroha believes them and asks for their help and they deduce Himena will likely make her move in the morning, after anxiety peaks and people are home watching media. Felicia proposes attacking the TV station immediately, but Ranka and Yuna argue for seizing control of power sources and antennas to shut down the broadcast network at will.
• At the satellite base, the group coordinates. Shizuka, Sunao, and Chiharu volunteer to handle Witch-hunting in Kamihama to prevent curses from spreading during the crisis. Yachiyo instructs Magical Girls with families in Kamihama to go home and check on them. Teams are formed, with Shigure, Hagumu, and Promised Blood targeting the broadcast network, Mikazuki will team up to stop the broadcast, and Mifuyu requests to go her own way to break the mass suggestion by collaborating with the Amane sisters. Yachiyo agrees, and they plan to reunite Tsukuyo and Tsukasa first.
• At the radio tower, San and Miyuri have positioned Feathers and await the Union's attack, correctly predicting they will target the main TV transmission tower. They discuss the spreading rumors about Kamihama on social media and San explains Himena's personal hierarchy has Hiko first, Alexandra second, the Neo-Magius third, other Magical Girls fourth, and everyone else meaningless. She notes Alexandra could only delay Himena's plan, which San is grateful for as she needs to act before Fire Festival culture fades further.
• Yachiyo receives a call from her modeling manager about a late-night news program on Kamihama, which she dismisses. The group approaches TV Kamihama, and Sana senses no magic yet. Felicia wants to smash the antenna immediately, but Tsuruno and Sana argue it would only confuse the public. The team decides to secure the area and they receive updates that Rena and Momoko's families are safe. Tsukuyo catches up, reporting she couldn't contact Tsukasa and Sana detects the Neo-Magius' approach.
• The Neo-Magius Feathers attack in coordinated trios, attempting to split the Union team. Tsuruno devises a counter-strategy by pretending to flee to lure the Feathers into a trap in a familiar area of Chuo Ward. The plan succeeds, and the Feathers are defeated and incapacitated.
• Meanwhile, Mifuyu and Tsukuyo confront San and Miyuri on a rooftop. Mifuyu demonstrates improved combat skills, deflecting San's bullets, but Miyuri, in her unconscious state, proves a formidable opponent. San admits she dislikes fighting familiar opponents because they catch on too easily.
• Tsukasa, stationed at a lesser-known radio station per San's orders, watches news reports and is consumed by guilt over her role. A former Magius Black Feather expresses unwavering belief in Magical Girl supremacy as the only way to break the suggestion and save lives. When Yuna, Juri, Ranka and Hikaru attack, Tsukasa flees into the sewers, a location she and Tsukuyo once guarded. Using the chamber's acoustic properties to amplify her flute's sound as a weapon, she incapacitates the Promised Blood team and escapes with the help of a Black Feather who sacrifices herself to hold them back.
• Promised Blood regroups with Mifuyu and Tsukuyo and they deduce the Neo-Magius was only buying time to make finishing touches. Yuna speculates that Ao, working separately, might be the Neo-Magius' winning bet.
• Mikazuki secures the perimeter of the main antenna. Iroha and Ui try to reason with San, but San refuses to be persuaded and she and Miyuri retreat. Yachiyo's team takes control of the antenna but feels the victory was too easy, suspecting a stall tactic or alternative media plans, like livestreams, or satellite. Sana volunteers to infiltrate the Neo-Magius base with Shizuka's help, as Shizuka knows their inner workings.
• At Mitama's vacant shop, Momoko finds Mikage, as they both snuck out from their homes. Mikage reveals she has been helping Tsukuyo with "Operation Friendship" to bring Mitama back and needs Momoko's help to reach out to people from the East. Momoko decides to take a gamble and join the operation.

• Sana and Shizuka, disguised in Neo-Magius robes, infiltrate the Takarazaki Community Center. Shizuka explains the complex weekly password system, and they wait with the other Feathers. Sana, using her invisibility, scouts the kitchen and finds torn pieces of a shipping receipt. She reconstructs it and discovers the Neo-Magius mailed some kind of disc to various media outlets three days prior, which she relays to the Union.
• Iroha, Ui, Yachiyo, Tsuruno, and Felicia discuss Sana's discovery over the phone. Tsuruno deduces the mailed discs likely contained information on Magical Girls and a prediction of the current crisis in Kamihama, making the unrealistic claim credible after the prediction comes true. They realize Himena can spread the word without appearing herself, potentially framing all Magical Girls as harmful. Yachiyo analyzes that serious media will be cautious about airing such content, especially involving a minor, while lighter outlets lack credibility.
• During a meeting upstairs, which Sana eavesdrops on, San confirms Himena is in hiding. She laments the damage to their broadcast network, and with reduced forces, they decide against spreading too thin. Their new plan is to use the giant publicity loudspeakers at the Kamihama Civic Center to broadcast Himena's voice. San also decides to recall Tsukasa to the Community Center. Sana relays this new target location to the Union.
• On a rooftop, Kanagi and Mitama monitor the growing chaos in Kamihama. They dismiss the message about Himena's manipulation of the election as a ploy, believing the East-West conflict is inevitable. They resolve to continue their path of uniting people against them through destruction. The Kimochi Stone of Grief acts up, attempting to erode them, and to prevent the Kimochi from stealing their grief without consequence, Mitama performs a dangerous coordination, fusing the Kimochi's fate with their very lives, ensuring it cannot take their sorrow without also taking their lives. They emerge with their new "Eternal Darkness" transformations.
• Elsewhere Ao is making her way to Yukuni City's eradication faction.

• From her room, Kagome's grateful her parents were saved from the effects of the radio. Elsewhere, Momoko, Rena, Kaede and Mikage discuss their efforts to unite East and West students. Momoko reports only a 30% success rate in the West, as people are preoccupied with their physical ailments, and that Mikage and Tsukuyo had an advantage by acting before the crisis. The group is uncertain how much they can achieve before morning to bring back Mitama and Kanagi.
• Mifuyu and Tsukuyo, racing to catch up to the main group, note Iroha's team is closer to the Kamihama Civic Center. Hikaru is frustrated by the lack of response from Ao and Juri discovers a scheduled livestream on Ao's Dotube channel. Yuna suspects Himena might use it for her broadcast and Shigure and Hagumu note that a direct confrontation at the Civic Center seems unlike Himena's style, suggesting a deeper plan. Tsukuyo checks a tracking app and discovers Tsukasa is actually south of their location, not in Daito. She theorizes Tsukasa may have been too scared to disable the app or simply forgot and Mifuyu decides to split from the group to pursue Tsukasa with Tsukuyo, believing the Civic Center team has enough manpower, to which Yuna gives no objection.
• Iroha, Yachiyo, Ui, Tsuruno, and Felicia arrive near the Kamihama Civic Center. They sense no trace of Himena or Tsukasa but detect a familiar, cold magical signature. They encounter Kanagi and Mitama, with their magical presence feeling cold and wrong. Tsuruno warmly invites them back, but Kanagi and Mitama immediately attack her soul gem without hesitation. Their new transformation, Everlasting Darkness, is revealed and they speak in unison about delivering meaningful ruin and death as a form of hope.
• A battle ensues, where Kanagi's predictive abilities have improved, making her nearly untouchable. Yachiyo tries to reason with them, urging Kanagi to remember the people around her, and Kanagi acknowledges she is poor at gauging feelings but states she has decided to abandon the present Kamihama to focus on the future. Yachiyo is overwhelmed and Felicia is drained of strength by Mitama. The duo prepares to finish the group but suddenly decides to retreat, stating time is of the essence. As they leave, Mitama sets a trap on the door. Yachiyo warns Felicia just in time, preventing her from triggering an explosion that would have killed them all.
• Mifuyu and Tsukuyo find only Tsukasa's discarded phone and decide to follow Tsukasa's remaining magical energy. Mifuyu notes a press organization broadcasting emergency instructions on an electronic billboard.
• Inside the Takarazaki Community Center, Sana and Shizuka receive Iroha's message that the Civic Center intel was false and they realize they may have been discovered. Shizuka proposes attacking San while she and Miyuri are resting to demoralize the Feathers, and Sana reluctantly agrees and uses her magic to hide Shizuka's presence. The attempt fails, as San had activated her absolute defense and was waiting for them. She and Miyuri wake and order the Feathers to capture Sana and Shizuka. A chase ensues and Sunao, Chiharu, and the rest of the Tokime Clan, who had been on standby, intervene to rescue them. The Neo-Magius is forced to break off the pursuit when neighbors begin to notice the commotion.
• After escaping, Sana proposes returning to the Community Center alone, believing their guard will be down. She devises an escape plan using Chika's animal communication, and having the dog Mameji from Chiaki's bento shop track her scent and, with a pack of other dogs, cause a distraction if she's in danger. The Tokime Clan agrees to help and Sana re-infiltrates and overhears San having a heated argument with a Youth Association member named Tatsu. Tatsu informs her the portable shrine for the Fire Festival is to be disposed of, as there's no hope of reviving the "dangerous" festival. San is devastated, declaring she will become the festival's god herself and Tatsu tells her to move on. San is left heartbroken, having risked her life as a Magical Girl to protect the festival.
• Later, Sana eavesdrops on Feathers discussing their next mission of sending five members to Yukuni City to follow Ao and the Janomiya faction. Their goal is to prevent Ao from killing members of the Eradication Faction, then capture the faction members on video to condemn their disrespect towards Magical Girls for their broadcast. Sana is horrified but her reaction breaks her concealment magic and San and Miyuri corner her. Miyuri shatters Sana's shield, and as San is about to deliver a final blow, the pack of dogs led by Mameji attacks, creating enough chaos for Sana to escape. She is badly injured but rescued by the Tokime Clan, with her final message warning everyone.
• Back at the Crescent House, Mitama had pre-rigged the explosion and only added the final trigger at the end. Yachiyo laments that their words couldn't reach Kanagi and Mitama. Tsuruno picks up their faint, concealed magical signatures and tracks them heading toward Kamihama's city hall. Iroha realizes the city hall's disaster warning radio system, capable of broadcasting a voice across the entire city, and they must stop this final broadcast attempt.
• Yuna and Promised Blood arrive, as they've failed to find Himena. Iroha receives a call from Shizuka relaying Sana's message that the Neo-Magius plans to directly harm people in Yukuni City and broadcast it on Ao's Dotube channel to showcase Magical Girl cruelty and power.
• Simultaneously, the Union group chat reveals that flyers with QR codes linking to Ao's channel have been inserted into local newspapers. The flyer claims advance knowledge of the Kamihama crisis, lending credibility to the upcoming stream. Promised Blood immediately departs for Yukuni City to stop Ao and the Neo-Magius squad. Yachiyo announces that she will appear as a commentator on a live news broadcast with the mayor, intending to go off-script to help the situation, even at the risk of being banned from the entertainment industry and cutting off Mikazuki's income. She asks for the team's cooperation.
• On a train, Nayuta, Lavi, Urara, Asahi, Alexandra, and Tasuke observe the conflict. Nayuta finds it pointless that sides with the same goal are fighting and Lavi suggests such clashes may be the universe's will to reduce those who would spread the word. Urara notes no one has died yet and Asahi states the aftermath is what matters. Tasuke prays his theory about universal cleansing is wrong.

• While the main Kamihama Magia Union confronts the leadership, other members assist Mikage's "Operation Friendship." This operation aims to promote a signature site for the "Student Council for the Future of Kamihama" to unite the city's East and West.
• Asuka, Sasara, and Emiri clear out the Witches released by the Neo-Magius. Afterwards, Iroha tasks them with promoting the signature site, and the team, along with other Union members like Maria, Meguru, and Aimi, attempt to spread the site via social media but achieve limited success due to low reach and corporate restrictions, as idol Sayuki Fumino's management forbids her from posting about it.
• Later that night, the team is called to the river between Kosho and Daito Wards by Rui. They find a large crowd of Witch-Kissed people from all over Western Kamihama attempting to cross into Daito Ward. The group, carrying heavy bags filled with objects to weigh themselves down, intend to commit suicide in the river as a form of atonement for their historical prejudice against the East. They explain their actions stem from guilt, weakness, and a warped sense of justice, amplified by the Neo-Magius' plan and Yachiyo's televised appeal.
• The Magical Girls realize the only difference between themselves and the despairing citizens is the "luck" of their circumstances; had they not become Magical Girls and found a supportive community, they could have easily shared the same fate. This shared understanding becomes the key to reaching them.
• Meiyui and Aimi defeat the Witch, breaking her influence. Sayuki, defying her management, holds an impromptu guerrilla concert and announces a new song titled "#I'm Like You, I'm With You," a concept inspired by Ria's earlier commentary. The concert is broadcast online, and the hashtag trends locally. The Union uses this trending tag to successfully promote the signature site, leading to a massive surge in signatures and public support for unification.

• At Mitama's Shop, Sana is treated by Livia, Yozuru and Sudachi, with Shizuka offering a Grief Seed for her. Sunao and Chiharu arrive, relieved to find the group, as they couldn't patch Sana's injuries fast enough at the Puella Care trailer, but Livia explains they were on the move for their own reasons. Shizuka says she can't tell if Livia is a good person, and Livia admits she's the one who's been making them fight each other, so maybe she's not, but despite that, she is still an ally to everyone.
• Outside Neo-Magius’ base, Iroha confirms that Yuna and her friends safely boarded a freight train to Yukuni City, and Yachiyo heads off to the studio. Shigure and Hagumu also depart to try and find Mitsune, who still hasn't been found, even after the radio tower incident. Felicia and Tsuruno agree to head to the city hall to reach the emergency broadcast console.
• At the Takarazaki Community Center, Himena thanks Mitsune, telling her she can stay there for the rest of the night. Mitsune asks if Himena is really going to use "that device" and Himena confirms it's already installed and just needs activation. Himena justifies her actions by saying that she needs it to get all the Kimochi Stones and that she took Mitsune out of Kamihama tosave her.
• Meanwhile, Iroha, Ui, and Felicia follow Tsuruno as she tracks Kanagi and Mitama's magic to Kamihama's city hall through the rooftops. They wonder where the emergency radio console would be located in such situations, as the original office had moved after area was damaged by Eve. Iroha suggests that more of Kamihama's Magical Girls spread out and check with each ward, and they proceed to call the others to do so.
• In Mizuna, Tsukuyo has lost track of Tsukasa's magic, but Mifuyu suspects someone erased her trail on purpose, as the two of them together could resolve the situation in Kamihama. Iroha communicates telepathically with Iroha, who tells her that Kanagi and Mitama moved from Daito Ward to Chuo Ward and then onward, with their destination likely being the disaster warning radio location. She suggests checking all possible points in the vicinity. Tsukuyo deduces that since the two moved from Daito to Chuo and further west, they may have passed through Mizuna, and Mifuyu realizes the two may have erased Tsukasa's magic, and that Tsukasa could be at the radio location too. Tsukuyo checks and finds Kamihama City has a branch office in Mizuna Ward and they head there, sensing Kanagi and Mitama's magic, but finding something off about it. As they'd be noticed if they tried to sneak in, they approach from the front to avoid provocation, where they're shocked by Kanagi and Mitama's changed forms. Kanagi notes their arrival and suggests moving somewhere private.
• Mifuyu states that their changed appearance proves their souls have greatly changed and that they have committed to total destruction. A fight ensues between the two groups and Mifuyu and Tsukuyo try to retreat. Kanagi and Mitama explain their goal to unite Kamihama's East and West by becoming a common enemy through the city's destruction, forcing the survivors to join hands. Mifuyu rejects this and tells Mitama that Mikage hasn't given up on uniting the East and West, but Mitama refuses to believe this. Mitama and Kanagi attack, but Momoko's appears and intervenes at the last second.
• Momoko approaches Kanagi and Mitama with understanding, and soon Mikage and the rest of Momoko's team approaches as well. Mikage explains through telepathy to Kanagi and Mitama that she wanted to prove they didn't have to fulfill their wish to destroy Kamihama, which is why she has been trying her best with "Operation Friendship."

• In Daito, Momoko receives a telepathic message from Iroha and relays that the Neo-Magius' plan is to use the loudspeakers at the Kamihama Civic Center. Rena and Kaede also note that they'd notified other Magical Girls about Operation Friendship, and they also create a petition page titled "Student Conference for the Future of Kamihama City," explaining the East-West problem, the pressure from older generations, and their goal to unite students from both sides.
• While searching, Kaede notes the signature numbers for their petition are going up. Kanagi's younger brother approaches them, asking if his sister has anything to do with the current situation, as Kanagi's acted differently after he'd gotten mugged by a group from the West and hospitalized. Momoko deduces this could be why Kanagi was shaken up, and Mikage promises to bring her back.
• Mikage notes info is getting around in the East and their next stop is the West. Mikage notices someone left a very long comment: a student from Mizuna confessing to having tried to push a transfer student from Daito down the stairs years ago out of jealousy. The commenter signs the petition, wanting to make a difference and never add to the number of unhappy people again. Rena senses a Witch, and they notices someone about to jump, possibly Witch-kissed. Mikage recognizes the person as the mayor and they save her from jumping. She wakes up and, seeing Mikage's Daito uniform, apologizes for the suffering caused by her. She doesn't understand why she didn't participate in the election fairly or why she tried to undermine the East, and until recently, she thought of the disaster as a chance to unite the city. She only realized something was wrong when she thought about helping citizens during the current crisis, and something cleared in her head. After speaking in emergency meetings, she realized she was hurting the people she was supposed to protect, so she decides to resign. Mikage asks her a favor: to join their petition to unite East and West and tell everyone she knows. The mayor agrees, stating she will hold a press conference on the situation, tender her resignation afterward, and tell people about the girls.
• Momoko contacts Yachiyo about this informing her that if they can't stop Ao's livestream by the end of the hour, she will show footage of Magical Girls hurting ordinary humans. Yachiyo confirms and Momoko then explains they saved the mayor, who will announce her resignation and talk about their petition at a press conference. She asks Yachiyo to bring it up on the live news program she's part of and she agrees to the request.
• Momoko recounts the events to Kanagi and Mitama, who question if East and West can unite without them becoming villains. The two refuse to believe it and declare once again that they will keep going, but Mifuyu telepathically devises a plan with the others. She will use her illusion magic to show the press conference, Tsukuyo will amplify the audio with her ability, and Mikage will bring up the original program on her phone, so they must stall them until preparations are complete.

• They keep fighting until Mikage gives them the signal, and they transmit the press conference live recording to them. Yachiyo's voice from the news program is heard, where she is saddened by the mayor's ties to extremist groups and resignation. She discusses the long-standing East-West divide, her pain at seeing it reopen after the election, and the difficulty of bridging the gap. She announces that Kamihama's students are trying to reconnect through the "Student Conference for the Future of Kamihama City" and their petition, which she has decided to join. She urges viewers to sign, stating she doesn't want to see any more friends cry over the East-West situation and would be happy if they could make a difference.
• Mikage tells Mitama that the future with their friends is still connected, and Kanagi's brother arrives with Iroha, Felicia, and Ui. He explains that Reira and others told him where Kanagi was, and he met Iroha's group on the way, and that others were on their way too. A girl steps forward and apologizes to Mitama for trying to push her down the stairs years ago out of jealousy, which led to Mitama's punishment and expulsion. She promises to live her life to the fullest to end the cycle of misery and asks to be allowed to help for the sake of all their futures. Kanagi's brother tells Kanagi he doesn't want to see her alone and that as much as she and Mitama have tried to change the East-West relationship, they'll do it together this time, so she shouldn't shoulder it alone.

• Kanagi sighs and admits she may have been rather tactless, and Iroha references a video left behind by Ryo, who said she was jealous of Kanagi and Mitama because they would get to enjoy a fair and equal East, which is what she wanted when she joined the Wings of the Magius. Kanagi confirms this, realizing she was so focused on the grief of Kamihama as a whole that she forgot the feelings of those closest to her. She was on the verge of giving up but now understands she doesn't have to, so she will strive to build a future free of sorrow with the help of those around her.
• Mitama expresses fear about her wish for destruction growing in power and potentially bringing ruin beyond Kamihama, maybe even causing the Mirror Witch threat. Mikage says it would be tough to destroy everything yourself, so it's better not to do something that will give her a hard time, and they can cross that bridge when they get to it. Momoko says if the time comes for everything to crash down, she'll join Mitama in the struggle. Mitama asks if Momoko would hold it against her if her wish killed her, and Momoko repeats they will fight side by side, and if it comes to that, they can die together with no hard feelings.
• Kanagi addresses Iroha, stating she once found Iroha's idealism charming in its foolishness, perhaps because they are more alike than she thought. She went down the wrong path and implores Iroha to be careful not to make the same mistakes, to which Iroha says she'll try. Mitama tells Mikage to tell everyone to head for Sakae 1090, Himena's true location, which is also where the disaster warning radio is. Mitama explains the radio, the mail to media outlets, and Ao's livestream are all part of Himena's plan for her 1090 broadcast. The press is likely waiting nearby to verify the sent information.
• Kanagi says she and Mitama will hasten to destroy Himena's contraption themselves. Tsuruno suggests they tag along, but Mitama says they have other business and cannot walk shoulder to shoulder with them at the moment. Tsukuyo asks if they know where Tsukasa is, and Kanagi says Tsukasa ran off on her own. Mitama confirms she covered her tracks but only knows the direction, and Mifuyu says she and Tsukuyo will continue looking for Tsukasa.
• Yachiyo receives the updates, hoping the program staff won't keep her too long due to her off-script comments. She then sees replies from Ria and Sayuki about a Dotuber collab event scheduled for meeting and delivery at the 1090. She realizes if the seeds Himena sowed included influencers, the story from Kanagi is even more plausible.
• Shigure and Hagumu, having tracked Mitsune's magic, find her at the Takarazaki Community Center. She reveals Himena brought her there and left to set up a trap, possibly taking her out of Kamihama so she wouldn't get caught. She thinks Himena didn't want Shigure and Hagumu dragged in either and she urges them to go stop Himena, but they ask her to explain the trap first.
• Nayuta receives a text from Mikage saying her sister has come back, and Asahi reports the Tokime Clan is tending to Sana. Urara states she doesn't know what's going on with Promised Blood, and everything is still a mess. Tasuke mentions his brother is helping with IV drips with other medical facilities. Nayuta explains that Mitama had defected to the Neo-Magius until recently, but a ray of hope spurred her return. Lavi says Iroha is actively reaching for peace and could be one of their last vestiges of hope, but cannot say if she can stop Himena's disaster.
• Alexandra admits she still regrets being unable to stop Himena, knowing it's impossible, as Himena's Number One has always been Hiko. Lavi says it's best to put faith in others and Alexandra agrees to wait and see if anyone else can stop her. Alexandra confesses she can't let Himena go on like this and cannot give up on her. Tasuke says to let her go and do what she's comfortable with, as in this universe, one is free to choose whether to give up or not.

• Yuna, Juri, Ranka and Hikaru arrive to Yukuni through a cold, high-speed freight train. Yuna receives a message that Iroha's side has made progress, but they worry about Ao's scheduled livestream on the 1090 broadcast, which could display her violence to the mass media. They lack clues on the faction's location, but Urara messages Yuna with map coordinates for the Eradication Faction's base and reveals its current leader is Urara's ex-partner, whom Urara wants saved.
• The team follows a mountain goat path near a hot spring and Yuna outlines their plan to use the borrowed Kimochi Stone of Fear to connect with Ao's soul. If the Kimochi is controlling her, they will defeat it and if her feelings are beyond repair, they will have to instill a new fear. Juri reveals their long-term plan is to retire after this, which confuses Hikaru.
• Inside a mountain cabin, Ao is bored, waiting for the broadcast. She taunts the captured leader, Kurara, about the faction's persecution of Magical Girls like Alexandra. Kurara argues that Magical Girls hurt humans, but Ao counters that those who protect the public must defend themselves. She threatens Kurara to ensure good footage and Janomiya grunts express concern over Ao's worsening mental state.
• Yuna's team arrives and demands Ao release the faction. Ao eagerly attacks and a brief skirmish ensues, revealing Ao's reckless, berserker-like fighting style. The Janomiya grunts, deciding Ao has gone too far, betray her and untie Kurara. They reveal the other faction members are only knocked out, and tell Promised Blood to handle Ao.
• Yuna uses her Target Redirection to exploit Ao's openings, Ranka restrains her, and Yuna and Juri to use the Kimochi Stone of Fear. Hikaru insists on joining them and the three are pulled into Ao's mind space, leaving Ranka behind. Juri explains they were prepared for a suicide mission to save Ao, feeling responsible for her state. Hikaru protests, refusing to let Yuna die. Inside the soul space, they confirm the Kimochi is corroding Ao, and even after they defeat the Kimochi manifestation, Ao's personality remains unchanged. Yuna proposes a new plan to trace the memories in Ao's soul back to her birth to find and protect the moment her heart first experienced fear, preventing the Kimochi from eroding it. This would mean subjectively reliving 14 years of Ao's life.

• To this, Ao, bored and seeing it as a condition for their promised fight, agrees and sends Yuna, Juri, Hikaru and herself into her past with the power of the Kimochi.
  • The trio finds themselves in Ao's childhood home. Yuna and Juri take on the roles of her moms, while Hikaru appears as a neighborhood sister figure. They raise infant Ao, constantly fending off manifestations of the Kimochi that appear whenever she feels fear. The exhausting task strains them, especially Yuna, who handles most childcare. They try to be overprotective to prevent fear, but this backfires, making Ao socially withdrawn and timid.
  • As Ao grows, the Kimochi adapts, trying to eliminate her fears by removing her guilt, leading her to shoplift and pick fights. The trio continues to battle these manifestations. Hikaru, trying to help, gives a teenage Ao a game console as a stress reliever. Ao becomes engrossed in gaming, developing a sharper tongue but also finding a way to interact with others online. Yuna notes this is an improvement over her reclusive phase.
  • Somehow, likely due to her unique magic, Mitsuru Inami ends up involved within the dream world, not remembering her real life.
  • Ten years after Ao's rebirth, with Yuna, Juri, and Hikaru's duties leaving household chores piling up, they hire a housekeeper, which is the role of Mitsuru Inami in this world, a nervous woman who formally introduces herself to the family. Over the following weeks, the family discovers Mitsuru has an uncanny ability to appear unnoticed behind people, catching Juri eating secret snacks, Hikaru viewing her photo collection, and Ao playing games instead of doing homework.
  • The family meets Mitsuru away from the house to discuss their concerns. When a Witch's Barrier appears, Mitsuru panics but eventually reveals she is a thirty-one-year-old Magical Girl with an unconscious ability that deflects attacks. Her mother raised her to never stand out, making minimizing her presence second nature. Yuna realizes Mitsuru was the Ghost Magical Girl from their Futatsugi City days, whose deflected attacks unknowingly caused chaos during past conflicts. That night, Yuna decides to terminate Mitsuru's contract for Ao's safety. When Yuna calls the dispatch agency, Mitsuru reveals the company only employs her and states she will continue coming regardless. The following days, Mitsuru continues entering the house daily without a key, cleaning and preparing meals while security cameras show nothing. The family grows increasingly unsettled.
  • Late one night, Yuna wakes and senses Mitsuru in the room with them. She confronts her, and Mitsuru begs to stay, explaining she finally feels normal living among fellow Magical Girls. Suddenly, Witch's Barrier envelops them and Mitsuru's deflection causes the Witch's attacks to hit the others while Juri and Hikaru struggle to protect Ao. Yuna realizes Mitsuru's absolute defense will fail when her magic runs out. She argues that Mitsuru cannot live normally without fighting Witches. Remembering Ao's words about helping others, Mitsuru fights back for the first time and defeats the Witch.
  • After the battle, Mitsuru apologizes and says she will re-evaluate her way of living while hoping to continue housekeeping occasionally. Yuna agrees, noting she could become a powerful ally. Later, Ao complains about homework and says she misses Mitsuru's cooking. Hikaru distracts her with snacks found in the cupboard.
  • Ao becomes a Magical Girl and Yuna and Juri deduce the final enemy, the manifestation of what Ao fears most, is about to appear: their own younger selves from the time they tried to eliminate Magical Girls in Futatsugi. They ask Hikaru to keep teenage Ao occupied while they confront their past selves on the battlefield. An intense battle ensues between the present-day Yuna, Juri and their younger, more powerful counterparts. The older pair wins but is left utterly drained of magic.
  • The core manifestation of Ao's fear appears and exhausted, Yuna and Juri prepare to sacrifice their lives in a final stand. Ao and Hikaru arrive and Ao reveals she sensed their magic and realized they had been protecting her all along. She refuses to let them die, declaring that losing them is her greatest fear. Fueled by rage at their self-sacrifice, she resonates with the Kimochi Stone of Rage again. Ao and Hikaru take over the fight, defeating the final enemy and protecting her own heart.
• The group returns to reality, physically and magically exhausted. Ao is confused but deeply affected, now understanding the fear of losing her family. She addresses Yuna and Juri as "Mom" and "Mama" before correcting herself, and Ranka, who had been guarding their bodies, is relieved and furious. The Janomiya grunts help support them and Ranka updates the four girls that Ao's livestream was canceled, and Kamihama's disaster radio was stopped. However, Himena's main broadcast on the 1090 electronic billboards is about to begin, with press in attendance. The team is in no condition to move and Ao receives a mass message from Himena with "final instructions": all Neo-Magius members must leave Kamihama immediately. The broadcast is in one and a half hours.

• At a mountain lookout, Asahi, Urara, Lavi, Tasuke, and Nayuta discuss the impending battle and Urara relays messages from Promised Blood indicating the Neo-Magius is heavily outnumbered. Lavi suggests the situation might be deliberately engineered and Tasuke states this will be their final judgment on whether Magical Girls can be saved. Nayuta declares her intent to chase after her friends, like Mikage, to protect them, following Alexandra's example. She encourages Lavi to follow her true feelings too and Tasuke gives Lavi permission to act as she wishes, stating their role is only to observe.
• While Alexandra runs through Kamihama, she recalls a phone call with Himena in which Himena claimed she acted on Alexandra's behalf to get revenge on those who tormented her. Alexandra protested, saying she didn't want extreme revenge and couldn't believe Himena was going through with her plan. Himena blamed Alexandra for leaving and she explained she left because she knew Himena would never listen as long as Hiko was her priority, hoping her disappearance might make Himena stop. Himena apologized, stated it was too late, and told Alexandra to leave Kamihama. Back in the present, Alexandra regrets not confronting Himena as a friend.
• In a city plaza, Iroha coordinates the search for Himena, who is believed to be in Sakae Ward. Tsuruno speculates Himena will appear in person at the 1090 area to bolster credibility. Hinano reports most Witches are defeated and offers to distribute the collected Grief Seeds. Felicia also relays that the entire Tokime Clan is coming to assist. Iroha is relieved but notes Sana is still injured and being cared for by Livia at the Coordinator's. Iroha's group observes TV crews and speculates people are waiting for news about Kamihama. Through telepathy, Mifuyu reports no leads on Himena or Tsukasa and widens the search from Chuo to Sakae Ward.
• In a ruined street, Shizuka, Chiharu, Chika, and Ryouko arrive at a restricted zone near Puella Care where Chika detects several Magical Girls. Shizuka confirms it's neutral territory, but with Puella Care absent, it's ripe for trouble. They are surrounded by Neo-Magius Feathers who chose to stay and fight despite retreat orders. Chiharu chastises them for staining their hands with evil. The Feathers attack, but Shizuka reveals getting caught was their intention to defeat the pawns and clear the path to Himena.
• On their own, Tsukuyo and Mifuyu find nothing and a message reveals Momoko's group also found nothing in abandoned buildings. Tsukuyo suggests finding San for information and Mifuyu, recalling her combat style which preferred wide-open spaces for her gatling guns, deduces she would be at Sakae General School, close to the 1090 area. Mifuyu asks Tsukuyo to continue searching for Tsukasa alone while she teams up with Iroha to confront San.
• At Sakae School, Iroha's group is ambushed by San, Miyuri, and Feathers. San admits they planned to ambush the Union but were found first. A fierce battle ensues where San declares they will fight for their own happiness. In the battle, Mifuyu demonstrates significantly improved combat skills, dodging San's shots, and Felicia and Tsuruno launch a combined attack on her too, yet she remains unharmed. Mifuyu orders them to retreat and San challenges Mifuyu to a one-on-one fight. Mifuyu states she will attack from the inside using illusions, forcing San to face the dreadful problems she knows about as her former superior. Mifuyu's illusion forces San to relive key memories where she sees the beautiful, jewel-like flames of the Hikarizuka Fire Festival that formed her identity. She feels deep nostalgia and love for Hikarizuka's everyday life and people, but then the scene shifts to the Chairman and Tatsu destroying a portable shrine, telling her she can't stay and must move on, that the Fire Festival is over. San desperately resists, declaring Hikarizuka her home and vowing to keep the festival alive. The illusion shows the portable shrine burning, which San finds beautiful. She realizes the God of the fire burns the present to prepare for the future and understands that to truly believe in the Fire Festival, she must move on and not fight reality.
• Back at the school, San awakens and Miyuri is frantic. Mifuyu explains she showed San an illusion to help her step into the future by overcoming loss and the stagnation caused by clinging to the past. San acknowledges that everyone else moving on isn't abandonment but the start of a new path, and that the people of Hikarizuka care for her and want her to change with them. Mifuyu tells Miyuri there is more to love than devotion and obedience. Felicia and Tsuruno prepare to force information from San and Iroha pleads for Himena's location. San refuses, wanting to honor Himena wishes, however a White Feather reveals that Himena is in an abandoned museum. San is angered, but the Feather says they've done enough. Iroha decides to investigate despite the risk of a trap and Ui also agrees.
• Elsewhere, Shigure and Hagumu rush, discussing Himena's strange "get out of Kamihama" message. They suspect she imbued something with falsification magic and worry she might do something to Magical Girls to turn the tables.
• Outside a hospital, Tsukasa reflects on why she came there, as it was a place important to her and Tsukuyo as twins. Kanagi and Mitama find her and they reveal they have cut ties with the Neo-Magius after being shown hope. They show her a "Student Conference for the Future of Kamihama City" petition with growing signatures, proving young people are speaking out to change East-West relations. They also reveal the mayor's election manipulation was a Neo-Magius ploy by Himena. They urge her to rethink her choices and mention that Mifuyu and Tsukuyo are looking for her to break the suggestion. They apologize for misleading her and leave to take responsibility for their actions.
• At Mizuna Shrine, Tsukuyo searches for Tsukasa. She finds Take, from the Amane Bamboo Studio, collapsed, mistaking her for Tsukasa. He says her father knows they meet there and begs to go home, mentioning he couldn't eat his favorite food. Tsukuyo realizes he is dehydrated, and recalling the hospital where she and Tsukasa confirmed they were twins, deduces Tsukasa will be there.
• Outside the hospital, Tsukuyo finds Tsukasa. She explains she found her due to Take's collapse and her memory of the hospital. Tsukasa is remorseful, realizing her actions nearly killed Take and would have devastated her father. Tsukuyo understands Tsukasa acted for their future together but states while the past cannot change, they can act now. She asks Tsukasa to join her and Mifuyu to dispel the suggestion and Tsukasa agrees, aiming to broadcast the counter-magic across Japan via the 1090 signal. A message arrives revealing Himena's hiding place is the abandoned museum in Sakae Ward.
• Meanwhile on her own, Kagome runs through the city and senses everyone's reactions.
• At the city plaza, Iroha's group detects Himena's signature in the abandoned Memory Museum. They are joined by Yachiyo, who returns from her TV appearance and the group enters the museum. Inside, they confront Himena and Iroha argues against ruling over humans, believing people can understand without force. Himena laughs, calling humans shallow and untrustworthy, comparing them to Kyubey. She states she will become a god to force acknowledgment. Iroha mentions they have stopped Kanagi, Mitama, and Ao, but Himena says she already heard. Iroha pleads to work together to find a new way for Himena's salvation, but Himena rejects it again, wanting to be saved immediately and tired of denial.

• Himena fights alone against the group. She uses synthesized magic: first Felicia's "Oblivion" to make Yachiyo forget, then Tsuruno's "Good Luck" to try and send Mifuyu into a nightmare hallucination, which is then blocked by Yachiyo. She reveals she has been harvesting magic from their attacks using Ui's "Harvesting" power. However, she suddenly coughs and collapses, her Soul Gem cloudy from overuse. The group realizes combining abilities drains Himena's magic excessively. Himena admits she made a miscalculation with Ui's magic and she reveals her plan to steal all eight Kimochi Stones and the Automatic Purification System. She then discloses her trap was devices rigged to Kamihama's power grid to command all Magical Girls to break their own Soul Gems.
• In an alleyway, Kanagi, Mitama, and Puella Care are destroying one of Himena's remote control devices. Livia explains they detected Himena's intentions during a coordination and has been monitoring the trap. They prioritized stopping it over chasing Kanagi and Mitama. The group recovers and Yozuru and Sudachi perform adjustments to help them recover.

• Back in the museum, Himena's trap fails and Felicia and Tsuruno attack to destroy Himena's phone, but she protects it. Suddenly, Shigure, Hagumu, San, and Miyuri appear, compelled to protect Himena despite her orders to leave. They express that though they cannot condone her methods, they don't want her to lose as they know her kind side. San states she likes Himena more than she thought and Shigure and Hagumu admit they might like her too.
• The Union is reinforced by Sana, Shizuka, Momoko, and others. Miyuri admits defeat and San advises Himena to give up, suggesting they try a gentler approach next time. Himena angrily rejects this, stating they have become stronger and found hope, while she faces constant denial of Hiko.
• Himena's magic is nearly depleted and San and Miyuri beg her to stop before she becomes a Witch. Himena apologizes to Hiko, stating she can't use her final ace because the Neo-Magius is still in Kamihama. Shigure and Hagumu try to stop her and Iroha offers a Grief Seed, pleading for her to choose life and find another way. Himena refuses, saying she's sick of waiting and living in denial is hell. She acknowledges Iroha's ideal of everyone getting along is sweet but not for her.
• Himena calls out to Kyubey, revealing he had been observing them. She accuses him of promising to let her Doppel out in exchange for causing a fuss. Kyubey denies an alliance, stating he only wanted to use her as a test subject to compare Witch and Doppel energy output and Himena realizes she's been used. She tells Iroha the Lil' Kyubey is locked in the Civic Center and can serve as a hub for the Kimochi and Purification System instead of Ui. She asks Iroha to take care of Shigure and the others, stating she wants to support them even in death. As she reaches her limit, Kyubey notes she will be a good sample for the universe. Himena bids farewell to her friends and prepares to join Hiko.
• As everyone screams for Himena, Alexandra appears and purifies her Soul Gem with a Grief Seed. Himena is confused, thinking she must keep fighting. Alexandra states she purified her to keep her alive, scolding herself for running away instead of confronting Himena as a friend. She vows to stay by Himena's side, scold her, heal her, and stop her if she goes too far, because she is her best friend. Himena admits she couldn't press the kill switch because the Neo-Magius was still there, and she was overjoyed when Alexandra appeared. She agrees to stop but warns she might lose control again, but Alexandra and San promise to support her. Himena apologizes to Kyubey for not becoming a Witch, yet Kyubey is indifferent, having obtained the Automatic Purification System.
• Mifuyu senses Tsukuyo and Tsukasa approaching, and Mikage arrives with them, all frantic as there are only five minutes left. Himena interrupts, proposing a more effective way to break the suggestion by synthesizing magic. She combines Felicia's "Oblivion" and Mifuyu's "Hallucination" and infuses it into the Amane sisters' flutes. Lavi and Nayuta arrive as well and Lavi uses her "Concept Strengthening" to boost the flute's power, aiming to make the press let the incident fade into obscurity. With seconds left, the Amane sisters play their enhanced flutes as the sun rises.

Sixth Day:

• Kagome recounts how the flute's sound enveloped Kamihama, making the events feel like a daydream. People forgot the details, but data proving the anomalies remained, creating many unanswered questions. Contrary to Himena's plan, the words "Magical Girl" were never uttered, and the Magical Girls, now in possession of all Kimochi Stones and knowledge to reclaim the Automatic Purification System, kept the truth secret. Kagome is scheduled to meet Tasuke again.
• In the park, Himena internally apologizes to Hiko but decides to keep living for her friends. Shigure, Hagumu, San, and Miyuri discuss their next steps involve cleaning up the Community Center. San will move forward with the Youth Association to eventually revive the Fire Festival as an adult and Alexandra suggests Himena buy a new phone, as she threw the dangerous one away. Himena also decides to wait until her mother is less angry.
• At an arcade, Juri, Ranka, Ao, and Yuna share embarrassing stories from their time in Ao's soul space. Yuna gives Juri an envelope from Yachiyo, which contains a bill for a smashed window.
• At Crescent House, the girls return home, and Yachiyo confirms repairs are done and utilities are restored. She gave the invoice to Yuna for Juri. Tsuruno also arrives celebrating Banbanzai's reopening and her father's health. Iroha notes most families are safe. Felicia asks about Kanagi and Mitama, but Yachiyo states they are still missing, along with the Kimochi Stone of Grief, hindering the collection of all eight stones.
• At Puella Care's trailer, Livia complains about Yozuru's rough adjustments after being injured stopping Himena's trap, and they were unable to chase Kanagi and Mitama due to Livia's condition. Livia states they must find them themselves.
• At Folklore's base, Kagome speaks with Tasuke, Lavi, Asahi, and Urara. Tasuke states the events in Kamihama were an indicator to test the universe's will. The minimal damage compared to Yukuni offers hope that past tragedies weren't inevitable. He notes Alexandra now sees a future with the Neo-Magius and declares he will resume trying to save Magical Girls, writing a second volume of his book with Nayuta's help, and also invites Kagome to assist. However, Tasuke feels an uneasy premonition, warning they cannot relax as their invisible enemy will strike when they forget.
• Outside the hospital during the day, Kyubey approaches Kagome, sensing her wish is taking shape and offers to grant it. Kagome refuses for now, stating she will wish only when it can make Magical Girls smile, and keeps the nature of that wish a secret from Kyubey.
• On her own, Karin enters the Endless Mirrors to find Alina.

Seventh Day:

• Kagome, having witnessed the failure of the Neo-Magius' plan and Himena's surrender, notes that all the Kimochi Stones are now gathered and the method to reclaim the Automatic Purification System is known. With the Magical Girls united and a period of quiet, she decides to conduct interviews to record their thoughts.
• Her first interview is with Promised Blood. Yuna explains that the members have returned to Futatsugi City but she frequently visits Kamihama to interact with other Magical Girls. She expresses a new desire to create a "brighter future," a resolve strengthened by the strange, 14-year mental journey she, Juri, Hikaru, and Ao shared to save Ao. Yuna identifies this as a "sign" of change, evidenced by Juri's magic no longer running amok from stress. The interview is cut short when Juri arrives to inform Yuna that some Promised Blood members still target Kamihama's Magical Girls, confirming that not all conflicts are resolved.
• Kagome next interviews the Tokime Clan and finds them conducting "social studies" at the 1090 building in Sakae Ward. Shizuka explains that to protect Japan and their wishes, the clan must understand the modern world to foresee the future. The interview quickly reverses as the clan members, overwhelmed by modern terms like "influencer" and "synergy," appoint Kagome as their teacher and bombard her with questions.
• Kagome then interviews Puella Care. Livia is exhausted from the increased workload with Mitama's absence. She notes the atmosphere between herself, Sudachi, and Yozuru has changed since they learned she lied about her past. Despite this, they remain with her. Livia states she will formally tell them the truth when the time is right. The interview then reverses, with Livia questioning Kagome about the Uwasa of the Wind Evangelist.
• Finally, Kagome interviews the Neo-Magius through Hagumu and Shigure. They reveal the faction was on the verge of disbandment after Himena's actions. However, Himena passionately persuaded the Feathers to stay, promising a softer approach to Magical Girl supremacy through analog methods like flyers, while maintaining their independence. Hagumu and Shigure speculate Himena's motive is efficiency, as the faction provides access to the Automatic Purification System.
• After these interviews, all major factions receive a message from Lavi, summoning them to a presentation at the Kamihama Aquarium hosted by the Folklore of Zero.

Eighth Day:

• Himena, believing her role in the conflict is over, goes to the harbor and throws her phone—which contained the backup for her nightmare-inducing device—into the sea. Unbeknownst to her, Mikoto Sena, using the powers of the Endless Mirrors, retrieves the phone.

• After the failure of Neo Magius' plan, Kagome, moved by the peaceful time achieved by the united Magical Girls, decides to conduct interviews to preserve a record of their experiences and feelings. She visits the leaders of the major factions.
• Kagome interviews Yuna Kureha of Promised Blood in a park. Yuna explains that most of her group returned to Futatsugi City but regularly visits Kamihama to interact with other Magical Girls. She reveals that some Promised Blood members still hold grudges against Kamihama Magical Girls, and she must go to persuade them. Before leaving, Yuna notes a significant change: Juri's magic, which was once unstable due to stress, has completely stopped its violent rampages. Yuna suggests this is a "sign" that they too can change.
• Kagome next attempts to interview the Tokime Clan in Sakae Ward. She finds Shizuka and her clan members conducting "social studies" to better understand the modern world and fulfill their mission to protect the Land of the Rising Sun. The session turns into an impromptu lesson where Kagome is pressured into answering the clan's questions about modern terminology like "influencer" and "synergy."
• Kagome then interviews Livia of Puella Care at their busy caravan. Livia explains that their services have become extremely popular, partly due to a Magical Girl's promotion. She notes a changed atmosphere between herself, Sudachi, and Yozuru, stemming from the two discovering Livia had concealed parts of her past. Livia states she will clarify things with them when the time is right. The interview reverses, and Livia questions Kagome about the origins of the "Rumor of the Wind Evangelist," which Kagome reluctantly explains.
• Finally, Kagome interviews Hagumu and Shigure of Neo-Magius. They reveal the organization was on the verge of dissolution after Himena's plan to kill non-allied Magical Girls was exposed, however, Himena passionately persuaded the members to stay, promising a softer, more analog approach to promoting Magical Girl supremacy. Hagumu and Shigure speculate Himena's motive was to maintain a usable asset, but they acknowledge it felt true to her character.
• Immediately after the interviews, a message from Lavi summons the leaders of all major groups to the Kamihama Aquarium for a briefing on the Folklore of Zero and Yukuni City.

• Iroha expresses doubt about her ability to protect everyone's feelings, especially with Touka and Nemu still in a coma. A reminder from Lavi announces a presentation by the Folklore of Zero group at the Kamihama Aquarium.
• Iroha and Kagome encounter Kyubey and Iroha demands the return of the Automatic Purification System. Kyubey refuses, stating that as long as Magical Girls reject becoming Witches, no compromise exists. Kagome expresses her desire to reveal the existence of Magical Girls to the public, believing it will lead to a kinder world, but Kyubey warns this could trigger a catastrophic reaction from the "Will of the Universe" theory.
• Later, at the Folklore of Zero meeting, the groups of Promised Blood, the Tokime Clan, and the Neo-Magius are also present. Tasuke and the members of Folklore of Zero express their renewed hope after witnessing the peaceful resolution of conflicts in Kamihama. Tasuke apologizes for his previous belief that the only salvation for Magical Girls was erasure before they fell to despair. He requests that the Kamihama Magia Union accept his team, and the Union formally welcomes them as well.
• Livia arrives and informs the group that Mitama and Kanagi are still missing. However, Sudachi has located them using the other Kimochi Stones, narrowing down their location to a particular beach. Livia, Yozuru, and Sudachi prepare to retrieve them, stating they require "darkness" for this mission and ask the others to stay behind.
• Later, Iroha, Ui, and Mifuyu visit the comatose Touka and Nemu in the Satomi Medical Center. Their physical bodies are fully healed, but their minds remain unresponsive. They encounter Tasuke, who is being hospitalized for a medical examination at his brother's insistence, which makes Nayuta distress. Mifuyu also reveals that Karin has gone missing inside the Endless Mirrors Labyrinth, and search efforts have so far failed.
• At the beach, Livia, Yozuru, and Sudachi find Mitama and Kanagi. The two Magical Girls are on the verge of becoming Witches, their souls entangled with grief after forcibly fusing it into themselves to resist the Kimochi Stone's control. They believe their return would only cause others pain, and Livia's team begins a dangerous Coordination procedure to save them.
• They first transmit the positive feelings and acceptance collected from the Magical Girls of Kamihama, which provides temporary relief. For a permanent cure, Livia decides they must contextualize Mitama and Kanagi's grief by showing them greater suffering. Livia begins to project her own traumatic past into their minds: her father's death, her abuse in an orphanage, her life as a runaway, her capture by human traffickers, and her eventual contract with Kyubey, where she wished to "become evil itself." The process shows signs of working, as the roots of grief binding Mitama and Kanagi begin to loosen.
• Livia concludes the projection of her memories to Mitama and Kanagi. She recounts her life after her wish: her return to society, her struggle with a personal magic that passively brings misfortune to those she helps, and the tragic death of her social worker, at her own wedding. This final catastrophe leads Livia to a revelation from Kyubey that Magical Girls exist to generate energy to sustain the universe. She decides to live solely for this purpose, believing it will redirect the misfortune caused by her magic toward Kyubey and the universe itself.
• Witnessing Livia's immense suffering provides Mitama and Kanagi with the perspective needed to contextualize their own grief. They resolve to "devour" their sorrows and use them as nourishment to move forward. This act of acceptance causes the Kimochi of Grief to manifest. Livia's team helps them subdue it. Mitama and Kanagi, now freed from their despair, return to Kamihama with the final Kimochi Stone.
• Iroha Tamaki meets with the leaders of the other factions—the Kamihama Magia Union, Promised Blood, the Tokime Clan, Folklore of Zero, and the Neo-Magius—to discuss the future. They all express a shared desire for a peaceful future without internal conflict. The arrival of Mitama and Kanagi with their Kimochi now completes the set of eight Kimochi Stones.

• All the factions gather at the neutral zone in Chuo Ward. Iroha and Ui, with the support of all the leaders, communicate their resolve to the assembled Kimochi, promising a gentle future and gaining their trust one by one. The Kimochi Stones empower Iroha and Ui to locate and enter the realm of the Automatic Purification System.
• Inside the Automatic Purification System, Iroha, Ui, the faction leaders, and Kagome enter the system's Labyrinth. They find it appears as a transparent version of the real world. Their goal is to reach the core and reconnect it to Iroha, Ui, and Lil' Kyubey to reclaim it from Kyubey.
• However, Kyubey reveals this was his plan all along. He'd allowed them to enter with the Kimochi Stones so he could fuse with the system's concept while Iroha controls the Kimochi's energy, granting him total control over both the system and the power of the Witch Eve. He seizes Iroha and Lil' Kyubey in Isolation Fields, rendering them unconscious.
• The faction leaders fight off Oscar Familiars generated by Kyubey while Ui senses that Iroha and the Kimochi have not given up. Iroha breaks free from Kyubey's control with the Kimochi's help, and despite Kyubey's warning that becoming the core could destroy her ego, Iroha, encouraged by the others, attempts to fuse with the core.
• In Endless Mirrors, Mikoto speaks to Alina, stating a cynical view that no one can be saved and that hope inevitably ends in despair.
• Karin ventures deeper into the Endless Mirrors Labyrinth to find Alina, finding it unnaturally empty. A copy of Kaede appears and informs Karin that the ruler of the Labyrinth has been waiting for her. The copy presents Karin with a choice to either return to her friends or proceed to meet Alina and Mikoto Sena.
• Karin chooses to find Alina and is taken to her, finding that she has allied with the spirit of Mikoto Sena. Alina reveals she has abandoned Karin's "Reformation Project" in favor of Mikoto's "Evolution Project," which aligns with her belief that humanity unconsciously desires destruction. Mikoto proposes a challenge: if Karin journeys with them through history and still believes in hope, she will return Alina. Karin agrees.

• Mikoto uses the mirrors to show Karin scenes from human history, each depicting cycles of destruction arising from malice, misguided goodwill, and systemic rejection, such as genocide, ritual sacrifice, religious wars, and gender-based conflict. She argues this proves hope inevitably turns to despair.
• Mikoto then shows a story from Kamihama's own past: the tale of the Battle Shamanesses, Tsuyu Mizuna of the West and Chizuru of the East. Initially, their alliance brings peace and hope, uniting the East and West, however, the distrust and ambition of their fathers shatter this peace. A supposed peace conference is a trap, leading to betrayal and battle, and in the ensuing chaos, Chizuru's father has Tsuyu's father killed. When Tsuyu and Chizuru attempt to stop the fighting with a display of combined power, a hidden gunman working for Chizuru's father mortally wounds Tsuyu. Consumed by grief and betrayal, Tsuyu becomes a Witch cursing the East, cementing a cycle of hatred that would plague Kamihama for centuries. Mikoto presents this as a local example of hope yielding to despair.
• Faced with this evidence, Karin counters that humanity is not purely destructive. She argues that the existence of hopeful stories in media and the current reunification of East and West in modern Kamihama prove that despair can also turn to hope. She asserts that human nature is a messy "gray," not destined for a single outcome. Alina finds this perspective amusing and novel.
• Mikoto, motivated by her personal grudge, is not convinced. She declares the current situation in Kamihama—specifically, Iroha's attempt to reclaim the Automatic Purification System—will serve as the ultimate experiment to determine whether hope ends in despair or despair ends in hope.
• At the Satomi Medical Center, Tasuke undergoes a medical examination at his brother's insistence. Tasuke confirms that the circumstances for Magical Girls are at a critical juncture, with the potential for them to be released from their destiny of becoming Witches. He reaffirms his intent to publish the truth about Magical Girls in his book, believing it is necessary for humanity to become kinder, and his brother now offers his support too.
• Within the Automatic Purification System's Labyrinth, Iroha's group witnesses all the Magical Girls outside the Labyrinth collapse simultaneously into unconscious, pained states, on the verge of becoming Witches. Kyubey also confirms the scene is real and not an illusion. Himena recognizes the phenomenon as identical to the nightmare-inducing trap she created but insists she had destroyed the device.
• The group deduces that the only way to save the Magical Girls in time is to reclaim the Automatic Purification System so they can summon Doppels instead of becoming Witches. However, Kyubey reveals he has hidden the system's core, forcing them to choose between searching for it or attempting to aid the dying Magical Girls directly.
• Iroha attempts to use her connection to Ui, the Kimochi, and Lil' Kyubey to locate the core, but the Kimochi reject her. The Kimochi Stones transfer to Lavi, whose feelings of resignation and despair now align with theirs. Believing that any attempt to reveal Magical Girls to the world will be met with catastrophic retaliation from the universe, Lavi gains a new form and declares her new goal: to seize the Automatic Purification System and peacefully "save" all Magical Girls by euthanizing them before they can experience despair.
• A battle ensues between Lavi, empowered by all eight Kimochi, and the faction leaders. Yuna, Shizuka, and Himena are swiftly defeated but succeed in protecting Iroha, Ui, and Lil' Kyubey. Iroha heals the leaders, and they resolve to face Lavi together.
• They catch up to Lavi in the Hokuyo Ward area of the Labyrinth. After another failed direct assault, Himena uses her personal magic to synthesize the magic from the unconscious girls to momentarily incapacitate Lavi. She uses:
  • Nayuta's magic, to make Lavi lose the will to fight.
  • Mikage's Physical Collapse magic to make her body falter.
  • Alexandra's relaxation magic to calm her down.
• Iroha, Ui, and Lil' Kyubey use this opening to physically connect with her, entering a state of shared consciousness.
• Inside Lavi's heart, Iroha challenges her resignation, arguing that those who have truly given up do not fight like she is. She asserts that Lavi's desire to "save" Magical Girls through euthanasia proves she still holds a fragment of hope. Confronted with this and memories of her friends, Lavi admits she does not want to give up. This emotional shift causes the Kimochi to violently rebel against her.

• Lavi offers Iroha the Kimochi, challenging her to subdue them with her feelings as a final test of whether hope can prevail. Iroha, with Ui and Lil' Kyubey's support, accepts the Kimochi. She endures their torment and convinces them that Magical Girls are not yet defeated. The Kimochi cease their resistance and fully synchronize with Iroha. The connection ends, and the Kimochi Stones return to Iroha's bracelet.
• Iroha and the others are then immersed in a dream world where Ui, Touka and Nemu are alive, but none of their friends became Magical Girls.
  • Iroha and Ui begin their new life at Mikazuki Villa after their parents move overseas. On her first day of school, Iroha sits next to Rena Minami, and they discuss the meaning of true happiness. After a tentative start, Rena walks Iroha home with Kaede joining them.
    • That evening, Iroha asks the Villa residents about happiness. Yachiyo values her shelter work, Sana is grateful for her found family, and Ui is simply happy to be healthy. Iroha realizes she has time to find her own answer.
  • A few weeks later, Iroha now walks to school daily with Rena and Kaede. While running an errand, they comfort Momoko, whose accidental confession led to a relationship. They celebrate at a maid cafe, where Iroha meets Ryo, a photographer who captures smiles. She sees many forms of happiness in the cafe's workers.
    • That evening, Iroha finds a lost girl named Shizuka and brings her to the Villa. That night, two runaways arrive: Nayuta, escaping her parents' dysfunctional marriage, and Yuna, the mayor's overlooked daughter. After sharing their feelings, Nayuta reconciles with her arriving parents, and Yuna decides to confront her father directly.
  • The next morning, the runaways depart. Later at school, rumors spread about a girl who fell from her building. Iroha visits Touka and Nemu at the hospital, where she learns the victim was a girl named Reira.
    • That evening, Iroha calls her parents overseas, filled with gratitude. She resolves to cherish everything.
  • The following months, inspired by Ryo, Iroha begins photographing everyone's smiles. As troubled girls visit Mikazuki Villa, she becomes more counselor than shelter worker, meeting many people and documenting both joys and sorrows.
  • Iroha and Yachiyo investigate a rumor at Suitoku Temple. They meet Ryoko, the temple's protector, Sakuya, a runner with a suspended team, and Manaka, who has prayed for one hundred days for her family's failing restaurant, Walnut's. Iroha suggests they all eat there.
  • Iroha organizes a party at Walnut's to thank everyone who has helped her while promoting the restaurant. Many friends gather, share good news, and Iroha takes a group photo.
  • Days after the party, Touka and Nemu's conditions worsen before stabilizing, reminding Iroha of life's fragility. Walking home, she witnesses the same girl who bumped into her earlier fall to her death—Ren Isuzu, a bullying victim. Iroha is traumatized.
  • The next day, unable to rest, Iroha visits Mizuna Shrine and meets Himena, who jokes about wishing for world peace. Iroha breaks down. Himena reveals her boyfriend was bullied to death and hints at something unforgivable, but tells Iroha to look forward.
  • Several days later, Himena exposes her boyfriend's bullies online, then announces her suicide. In a video to Iroha, she explains her choice and asks Iroha to create the happy future she envisions.
  • Iroha throws herself into volunteer work. One day, she encounters a feral girl named Felicia who snaps at her, then runs into traffic. Iroha pushes her to safety but is hit by a truck.
    • Iroha should be dead, but she is a Magical Girl. Through the Kimochi, she connects with the collective thoughts of Magical Girls, seeing the peaceful world they all long for, the world where they never made their contracts. Voices pour in: Yachiyo wishing for calm days, Yuna regretting bloodshed, Himena acknowledging she would be dead without her wish, Felicia grateful for Mikazuki's support, Touka and Nemu recognizing their wishes saved their lives.
    • Ui reminds Iroha she would not be alive if she had not become a Magical Girl. Iroha understands that true happiness is connecting everyone's dreams and weaving a future that ends in hope. She chooses the present and returns to reality.

• Lavi, now freed, apologizes and vows to work for a future where Magical Girls can live. The group reunites with the goal of taking back the Automatic Purification System. Ui, reflecting on Lavi's fears and the cryptic hypothesis from Touka and Nemu, comes to a realization. She concludes that even if Iroha reclaims the system, it may not be a complete solution. Resolving to ensure their success, Ui decides she must become the core of the Automatic Purification System herself.
• Iroha, Ui, and Lavi confront Kyubey at the core, with Ui declaring she fully intends to become the new core of the system. However, Kyubey reveals he has achieved complete control over it. He explains that because all Kyubey bodies share a single consciousness, defeating the one fused with the core is meaningless; they would need to eliminate every Kyubey in the universe to sever his control, which is impossible. He also states he can now command the Kimochi Stones once they're released they are released.
• Ui's attempt to attack the core Kyubey fails, as another body immediately replaces it. Faced with this impossible situation, Iroha and Lavi see no way to win.
• In the Endless Mirrors Labyrinth, Alina prepares to give the spirit of Mikoto to the incomplete Mirror Witch as a "gift," which will allow Mikoto to become whole and enact her plan for ultimate destruction. Karin protests, but Alina makes a promise: if Mikoto succeeds in destroying Kamihama, Alina will believe humanity's future is despair and continue to pursue destruction. If Mikoto fails, Alina will believe in a future of happiness and follow Karin's "Reformation Project." Alina then sends Karin away and proceeds with Mikoto's plan.
• Within the Automatic Purification System, as hope seems lost, Kagome finally resolves to make a contract. She wishes for "the power to make Kyubey and his kind unable to interfere with the Automatic Purification System forever." Her wish is granted, and she becomes a Magical Girl, now causing even Aru to manifest and speak with her directly.

• Empowered by her wish, Kagome forces Kyubey's influence out of the Automatic Purification System. Kagome and Aru fly over Kamihama City, using her new magic to systematically locate and eliminate Kyubey's bodies within the city with her leaves.
• As Kagome's wish takes effect, Mikoto leads Alina towards the center of Endless Mirrors, where she is to give Mikoto's persona to the Witch, and Mikoto will then bring forth ultimate destruction.

• Kagome removes all of Kyubey from Kamihama and completely severs his ability to disrupt the purification system. Ui prepares to restore the Automatic Purification System to gather impurities from unconscious Magical Girls before they turn into Witches, making Doppels possible again. Iroha states that even the hypothetical "Will of the Universe" cannot stand against them, as Magical Girls sustain the universe.
• Inside the Endless Mirrors, Alina and Mikoto find the incomplete Mirrors Witch, which, lacking a persona, knew nothing but fear and to tremble. Alina follows Mikoto's instructions and places her hand on the empty Winchester, transferring Mikoto's persona to the Witch. Mikoto and the Mirrors Witch, now one, awakens fully and happily declares that she will no longer have to see the faces of those who mourn.
• Livia, Yozuru, and others arrive to Iroha's location with the hurt faction leaders and the necessary Grief Seeds to help them. Despite their injuries, Yuna and Shizuka urge Iroha to prioritize activating the system.
• Iroha, Ui, and Lil' Kyubey unite to channel the energy from the Kimochi Stones and spread the Automatic Purification System's barrier worldwide. However, their attempt is blocked by a powerful Witch, quickly identified by Lavi and Iroha as originating from the Endless Mirrors. Kyubey also appears and confirms the Witch's interference is to blame, even allowing him to bypass the recently established barrier of the purification system.
• Familiars from Endless Mirrors appear and target Ui specifically. Livia, Lavi, and the others defend her while Iroha performs emergency healing on the injured Yuna and Shizuka. Kagome also arrives, having redirected herself after jumping skyward after her contract.

• The group confirms the Mirror Witch has engulfed Kamihama City in its Labyrinth, disabling the Automatic Purification System's barrier. Kagome then realizes she may have inadvertently triggered the Witch's attack; in the past, she signed a mysterious oath with an Endless Mirrors Familiar to "destroy all Magical Girls." Kyubey states that by breaking this oath and becoming a Magical Girl herself, Kagome gave the Witch an opportunity to act. However, Iroha rejects Kyubey's attempt to place blame on Kagome and reaffirms their goal to defeat the Witch. Iroha, Ui, and the Lil' Kyubey attempt to fuse again to channel the Kimochi Stones' power to reactivate the system.

Timeline A

• However, suddenly Lil' Kyubey is killed with one of Iroha's arrows.
• A copy of Iroha declares she killed Lil' Kyubey, and the group quickly defeat her.

• As they're mourning, Karin arrives and reveals Alina and Mikoto Sena are responsible for the Mirror Witch's attack. She explains that merging Mikoto's persona with the Witch completed its form, and its goal is to create a time paradox to annihilate the universe. Kyubey also confirms that a paradox would destroy the world. Lavi urges Iroha and Ui to fight, and they resolve to create a miracle.
• At Satomi Medical Center, Touka's father notes several unconscious girls, including Mitsune and Konomi.
• The group devises a plan to destroy all the small mirrors to break the barrier around a large central mirror, which they believe contains the Witch. They split into teams and use the power of the Kimochi Stones, with the recipients being Iroha, Ui, Kagome, Shizuka, Yuna, Himena, Lavi, and Livia.
• Karin declines to join the teams, stating she has a personal task. Kagome uses her magic and Aru's clones to gather information and track enemies. The teams destroy mirrors through the night, as they identify Mirror copies by testing magical signatures and personal knowledge about the girls.
• Himena, blaming herself for the unconscious Magical Girls, resolves to go to the Puella Care caravan and use her unique magic to synthesize the powers of seven specific girls: Hotori Yuzuki, Rion Yuzuki, Yuuna Kaharu, Meguru Hibiki, Ashley Taylor, Sasara Minagi, and Hikaru Kirari, even though it risks her life.
• Iroha and Ui save Himena from Familiars, allowing her to focus on the synthesis. Himena retrieves the seven magics and transfers Meguru's "live commentary" magic to Iroha. She instructs Iroha to use it to power up both allies and enemies as part of her strategy.
• Livia, Yozuru, and Sudachi find the original Labyrinth at the Mirrors Manor destroyed. They see copies recycling energy toward the giant mirror and destroy a Familiar that was about to become a Witch. Livia theorizes the giant mirror may not be the Witch's true location.
• Iroha begins her live commentary. Himena uses the synthesized magic in sequence: Hotori's "heroic introduction" to stun her enemies, Rion's "binding" to lock their movements, and Yuuna's "submission" to pacify them.
• However, Iroha's commentary strengthens the Witches, allowing them to break free. Himena uses Sasara's "provoke" and Hikaru's "devotion" to face them, then uses Ashley's "switch" magic to turn the Witches' amplified power against themselves, destroying the barrier mirrors but greatly exhausting herself.
• Kagome notes the Familiars show no distress and Lavi reports a second barrier is in place. Yozuru's team reports that energy is being funneled into the giant mirror, theorizing it is the weapon intended to cause the paradox. An Aru clone relays to Lavi that the Mirror Witch's true plan is to travel to the past to prevent human evolution, erasing humanity, which Kyubey also confirms. Lavi entrusts Karin with delivering the Aru clone, which holds this intelligence, back to the main group.
• The group splits: Shizuka, Himena, and Yuna will assault the mirror; Iroha and Ui will stay behind, with Iroha healing the sleeping girls and Ui gathering energy for a final attack; Kagome is sent to retrieve Touka and Nemu from the hospital.
• Sakurako arrives at the hospital to get Touka and Nemu, and Tasuke and Touka's father help her transport them to a car.
• Livia, Yozuru, Sudachi, and Lavi infiltrate the enemy ranks using Livia's Coordination magic. They confront copies of Livia and Lavi who command the energy delivery. Both Livia and Lavi fail to interrogate their copies and are forced to defeat their copies. However, their emotional outbursts alert the Familiars, nullifying their disguises.
• Iroha heals the unconscious girls but is forced to experience their nightmares of dystopian futures where Magical Girls are persecuted. As Iroha experiences more nightmares, Karin and Ui snap her out of it, and Karin leaves to help Kagome.
• Yuna, Shizuka, and Himena arrive to save the overwhelmed Livia and Lavi. Their joined team shatters the final barrier around the giant mirror.
• Iroha and Ui prepare to destroy the mirror. Ui gathers energy from the shattered mirrors, and Iroha plans to combine it with Touka and Nemu's magic.
• Sakurako and Kagome fight Familiars ambushing the transport car and the car explodes. Tasuke and Touka's father are mortally wounded but protected the girls' Soul Gems. As Tasuke and Touka's father die, Tasuke gives Kagome a pen for Nayuta, and Sakurako and Kagome continue with taking Touka and Nemu to Iroha.
• With the barrier reforming, Iroha and Ui combine their powers without Touka and Nemu. Iroha fires the gathered energy at the giant mirror and destroys it.
• Kagome and Sakurako arrive too late for the attack, revealing the deaths of Tasuke and Touka's father.

• Suddenly, as Ui starts to gether more energy, the spectral hand of the Mirror Witch appears, seizes Ui's Soul Gem and disappears. Simultaneously, Sakurako, whose existence is tied to Ui, Touka, and Nemu, vanishes. Iroha deduces that this means that Ui is really dead.
• Kyubey informs the others that the Mirror Witch has taken control of the Automatic Purification System, before he deactivates. Iroha falls into despair over Ui's death. Kagome comforts her, and Iroha resolves to move forward to honor Ui's memory and their bonds.
• Lavi, Shizuka, Yuna, Himena, and Livia arrive. The group acknowledges their catastrophic situation and comforts Iroha.
• Yozuru, Sudachi, and Karin arrive. Yozuru reports they turned the copies of Riko and Mikage to their side. Karin reveals she stole a hand mirror from a Familiar, which the copies identify as a device that can travel to the recent past. Iroha proposes using the mirror to go back to when Ui and Lil' Kyubey were alive to save them. The group agrees and moves to Hokuyo Ward where they attempted the fusion.
• Iroha senses the Witch growing stronger by absorbing energy from Magical Girls turning into Witches as disasters erupt across Kamihama. Alina stops the group and takes Karin, stating she will observe. Karin gives Iroha the hand mirror. Alina reflects on her past and her artistic philosophy.
• The group encounters a horde of Magical Girls subsumed by their Doppels. Shizuka, Yuna, Himena, and Lavi stay behind to hold them off, urging Iroha, Kagome, Livia, Yozuru, and Sudachi to go on.
• Yuna, Shizuka, Himena, and Lavi perish in the battle. Their spirits bequeath their power to Yachiyo through her unique magic. Yachiyo uses this power to share strength with Tsuruno, Felicia, and Sana, freeing them temporarily.
• At the system entrance, Livia, Yozuru, and Sudachi betray Iroha and seize the hand mirror, declaring their allegiance to the Witch. However, Livia's group was faking the betrayal to draw the Witch's attack through Livia's unique magic. They sacrifice themselves to absorb the fatal blow meant for Iroha.

• Iroha and Kagome are besieged by the horde, but Yachiyo, Tsuruno, Felicia, and Sana arrive and hold them back, urging Iroha to take their hope into the future.
• The Riko and Mikage copies set up the hand mirror. Touka and Nemu contact Iroha telepathically, warning that retrieving Ui and Lil' Kyubey would create a paradox. They propose sending a record of their experiences back instead. Aru produces a leaf with the record.

• The magic sustaining the copies breaks with Yozuru and Sudachi's deaths. The Riko and Mikage copies revert, destroying the hand mirror. Iroha is left with no options and prays for a happy future. The leaf glows and disappears.
• Alina declares the scene to be fine art. Karin resolves to fight, and Alina joins her, naming Karin a "Brilliant Girl" and declaring the final battle begun.

Timeline B

• Nine hours earlier, at 6 PM.
• A leaf imbued with Kagome's magic appears before Iroha and Ui, transmitting a vision of the future timeline showing Lil' Kyubey's death, the sacrifices of their friends, and Iroha's despair. They comprehend the message as a record from the previous timeline, and Iroha realizes a copy of herself kills Lil' Kyubey, and the group resolves to change the future.

• The faction leaders defend Lil' Kyubey and Ui to prevent the catastrophic future, and Iroha, Ui, and Lil' Kyubey successfully fuse together into Infinite Iroha. Iroha, Ui and Lil' Kyubey's minds are then pulled in a world created by the Kimochi.
  • Iroha wakes at Mikazuki Villa on a Friday, where Yachiyo reminds her that Magical Girls no longer need to fight thanks to the Automatic Purification System. After school, she meets with Momoko, Rena, and Kaede, and they encounter various familiar faces around the city, including members of the Tokime Clan and Promised Blood at the Coordinator's shop. Iroha feels relieved seeing everyone at peace, believing in Kamihama's future.
  • The next morning at the villa, everyone except Iroha, Ui, and Lil' Kyubey suddenly freezes in place. The wind and clouds continue moving, but all people have stopped. Investigating, they realize they need to go to Hotel Fendt Hope. In the hotel basement, they find Touka and Nemu, who explain that looking backward toward the past stops all motion while living requires moving forward—everyone became trapped in memories. Before they can explain more, their time stops as well, and the world itself begins freezing. The Kimochi appear, and Iroha understands they are inside a world created by them, seeing the happiness of all Magical Girls. Realizing she and Ui have also stopped, trapped by the warmth of the future they envisioned, they resolve together to set the future in motion.
  • Iroha wakes in a world within their hearts, where all their friends gather for a picnic under the Eternal Sakura. Iroha clarifies she does not want the exact same days to continue, but she wants to move forward and bring this future into reality. Understanding that this ideal world is the result of the powers of herself, the Kimochi, Ui, Lil' Kyubey, are flowing together, she hopes it becomes real.
    • Iroha reflects on how becoming one with Ui, Lil' Kyubey, and the Kimochi allows her to experience everyone's memories. Feeling nostalgic, she looks back on their journey, beginning with the aftermath of defeating the Uwasa. When the group investigated what became of the original Rumors, they found that while the Rumors themselves were gone, they had persisted as mere folklore without any lasting magical influence. This realization left everyone with mixed feelings, but Iroha understood that facing the past enabled them to see the future.
    • After recovering Ui from the Magius, the group worked to expand the Automatic Purification System until Nemu was kidnapped by former Wings members who had chosen to die with their ideals. Iroha realized that even shared feelings could lead to conflict over differing approaches. Though they tried to convince the former Wings to join them in peacefully pursuing the Magius' goals, the bonds formed during this conflict became the foundation for the Kamihama Magia Union, expanding the circle of magical girls despite the fighting that erupted from their misunderstandings.
    • As magical girls gathered in Kamihama over the Automatic Purification System, conflict erupted over the Kimochi Stones, though this period also brought new friendships with girls like Shizuka and Kagome. During a pause in the fighting, everyone anticipated the All Gods Festival, whose final firework was said to grant a year of health and peace. When the firework fell into the river, Lil' Kyubey protected it, saving the celebration. Grateful, Iroha resolved to fulfill the blessing Lil' Kyubey preserved: that everyone might live in peace and good health.
    • After the festival, the battles continued with much sorrow. Iroha recalls a strange, dreamlike memory of receiving an invitation to a banquet at Suitoku Temple, where everyone practiced entertainment acts. Despite the embarrassing performances, a heavenly voice encouraged them not to let suffering defeat them, explaining that they lived in a universe without predetermined destiny where they could sculpt their own future. Though forgotten, those kind words remained in Iroha's heart, inspiring her to push through pain and create a future where everyone can be saved.
    • Iroha tells Lil' Kyubey that despite all the hardships they've faced together, every difficulty ultimately led to hope. With the futures of all magical girls who connected with the Kimochi flowing through her, each one hoping for salvation, she affirms that they must spread the Automatic Purification System worldwide and keep these hopes shining like stars. As she's swept up in everyone's thoughts, Iroha wishes for the visions ahead to be of a happy world overflowing with hope.

• Back in reality, Iroha thanks the others for handling the Mirror copies. Ui's form appears ghostly, with Lil' Kyubey acting as their link. The group resolves to assault the Mirrors Mansion, when Touka and Nemu appear, reuniting with Iroha and Ui. They explain they transformed into Uwasa Queens to evade the Will of the Universe, lying dormant until Iroha gathered the Kimochi Stones and Ui recaptured the Automatic Purification System. They now operate by parasitizing Iroha and Ui's magic.
• The Mirror Witch's forces retreat toward the Puella Care trailer, and Touka and Nemu deduce the Witch anticipates their strategy, which requires the power of the sleeping Magical Girls. Iroha expands her wings to transport the group there at high speed. Upon arrival, Touka and Nemu announce they will transform all the sleeping Magical Girls into Uwasa to liberate them from their nightmares and permanently prevent them from becoming Witches. Iroha instructs Kagome to share the memories with everyone upon awakening, and Touka and Nemu activate their power.
• As the girls awaken in their Uwasa forms, Mirror Witch offshoots advance on the group. As all the girls have awakened, the newly awakened Rumor Magical Girls reunite with their factions, while Livia announces her group will fight the Witch separately. Yachiyo confirms everyone understands the situation thanks to Kagome's shared memories and Iroha rallies the coalition to enter the Mirrors Mansion and stop the Witch from altering the past.
• The coalition fights to stem the invasion of Familiars and copies, and Touka and Nemu forge the collective magic into a single arrow for Iroha to use. Iroha strikes first, addressing the Witch and Mikoto directly, and her attack causes the Mirror Witch's Labyrinth to manifest around them. Magical Girls report sensations of their bodies being cut apart and an intense gravitational force immobilizes most of the coalition. Initial attacks prove ineffective, and they notice an invisible barrier that blocks strikes and drains magic. Iroha instructs Touka to convert the Witch's own magic, making the invisible defense visible as shards of glass. She then instructs everyone to target and destroy the shards to weaken the Witch and launch a counteroffensive.

• The Witch's defensive barrier breaks, and the Witch's true form is revealed as Winchester. Iroha announces a plan to gather the Witch's magic and power from beyond the Mirrors for a final attack, and the coalition divides to target the Witch's limbs, with the factions each attacking one of the four limbs, while the Magia Union, led by Yachiyo, prepares to confront the Witch's main head.
• Offshoot Witches appear to guard the limbs. Touka and Nemu instruct Kagome to use her Interview Records, infusing the coalition with the magic of numerous Magical Girls to strengthen them for the assault. Each group successfully immobilizes their respective limb after being powered up by their Interview Records.

• Yachiyo confirms all groups have bound the Witch's limbs and orders the Union to contain the main body until Iroha is ready. As the Witch attacks Iroha, Alina intervenes and saves her by engulfing Iroha into her own Labyrinth. Alina pledges to protect Iroha to witness humanity's defiance, as she now realizes she finds life struggling against death to be the answer she was looking for. Iroha accepts Karin and Alina's alliance and resolves to erase the Witch's curse with her team.
• Iroha confronts Mikoto Sena's self directly, who believes Magical Girls are inherently tragic despite what Iroha claims. Mikoto's memories begin to fragment and she attacks Iroha again.

• The initial assault by Iroha, Ui, Touka, and Nemu fails to defeat the Witch, leaving them drained and vulnerable. As the Witch prepares another attack, the Uwasa of the Wind Evangelist reveals she's travelled through the Mirror Labyrinths to summon help. Magical Girls from countless other timelines and universes begin to arrive through the Mirrors to aid in the battle. Now several Magical Girls from different points in time and space fight the Mirror Witch through the mirrors it formed to cause paradoxes. Among others, the girls in the fight include:
  • Oriko Mikuni and Kirika Kure from present-day Mitakihara. It is likely that Oriko, having seen visions of the Mirror Witch, had also somewhat organized and lead this attack.
  • Darc and Liz Hawkwood from 15th century France.
  • Kazumi Subaru and Umika Misaki from present-day Asurano City.
  • Suzune Amano, Haruka Kanade and Matsuri Hinata from Hohzuki.
• Iroha instructs Kagome to coordinate the allies and Touka declares they must destroy the crossing Mirrors after the Witch's defeat to erase the paradoxes. Mikoto summons a horde of Familiars and Witches from her mirrors and Rena, Momoko, and Kaede lead the defense against them.
• Alina intervenes again to protect Iroha from Mikoto's attacks, and Touka, Ui, and Nemu gather and channel energy from the multiversal Magical Girls. Shizuka, Yuna, Himena, and Lavi announce the defeat of Mikoto's Familiar army. Iroha delivers the final declaration and unleashes the collective hope of all Magical Girls as their final attack.

• Iroha confronts the true nature of the Mirror Witch, a fusion of Mikoto and countless other Magical Girls from across history who succumbed to despair, including Chizuru. Iroha vows to use present hope to rewrite this history of despair, and in the conflict, Mikoto urges Iroha to show her the hope she speaks of. The Mirror Witch then merges with Iroha, transferring its entire history of curses and sorrow into her. Iroha witnesses the vast tapestry of Magical Girl suffering across time and space. She also sees the pivotal moment in her own life: in nearly every other timeline, she died in a car accident. Her survival was a fluke caused by an unintentional act of time travel from another Magical Girl. This reveals her unique magic is not healing, but instead the power to rewind time for a target.
• The Mirror Witch and all the mirrors disappear. Iroha announces that as part of the miracle she promised Mikoto, she will rewind every Magical Girl transformed into an Uwasa back into their original forms and fully establish the Automatic Purification System. Her friends recognize the danger and protest, but Iroha insists on this path despite the fact that overuse of her magic will be too much and erase Iroha's very existence.
• One by one, the leaders, members of the various factions, and her close friends all thank her and bid her a tearful farewell as she disappears, promising to protect the future she created and await her return. As Iroha's physical form begins to fade and she loses the ability to speak or be seen, she shares a final, private moment with Ui, Touka, and Nemu, who join her. They resolve to use the vast energy now at their disposal to expand the Automatic Purification System across the world as the first step toward creating a kinder world for Magical Girls and all people.

• In the Labyrinth of the Doppel System, high above Earth, Iroha, Ui, Lil' Kyubey, Touka, Nemu, Sakurako, and Mikoto watch over the world as the curses of the Mirror Witch finally subside, having demonstrated her ultimate miracle and secured a hopeful future for Magical Girls all around the globe.

Epilogue

• Kagome narrates that the Automatic Purification System spread worldwide, and Magical Girls were saved from their fate. Iroha, Ui, Touka, and Nemu disappeared from general memory, recalled only very vaguely by most people, though Magical Girls remember them clearly.
• Kagome visits Karin at Sakae Academy to discuss the disappearance of Alina. Karin reveals that Alina has dropped out of school and left the country to fulfill a promise to her, referencing the plan to reform. Alina sends Karin a message from her destination, challenging her to create "antidote" art to counter Alina's own "poison." The message includes a video titled "The Sun...?" which shows a giant LED light in a forest at night, a scene Karin identifies as a battlefield.
• The group known as Folklore of Zero has effectively disbanded, with its members now acting as a circle of close friends who have effectively joined different factions. Kagome is also in the process of writing a book to document the events of the Kamihama Magical Girls and the final battle, presumably Puella Magi Diarium.

• Kagome visits Nayuta's house to discuss the book's structure. She finds Lavi performing housework and Professor Tasuke, who has forgotten Iroha, present for a memory-refreshing session. Mikage arrives and aggressively questions Kagome about when the book and the truth about Magical Girls will be made public. Tasuke and Kagome explain the book requires significant revision and a carefully considered narrative structure. Tasuke outlines a long-term strategy to reveal the truth, comparing it to the gradual spread of folklore or the step-by-step process of an introductory text. He estimates it will take ten to twenty years for the full story of the Magical Girls to be delivered to the public.

• Kagome observes the Neo-Magius and their Feathers in a state of frantic activity. They are searching for and destroying evidence related to a construction incident where the main hall's ceiling collapsed, for which they accept responsibility. Himena explains that she and Hiko created a lecture series to help the Feathers discover their positive qualities and boost their self-esteem. The initiative has shown success, with members like Hagumu feeling more valued for her skills in clothing and acting. However, Miyuri's fixation on photographing legs remains a problematic, unpraiseworthy behavior. Alexandra also informs Himena she will be unavailable to help with a future class, as she will be in Yukuni City with Lavi and other members of the former Folklore of Zero.

• Kagome observes the Tokime Clan in a state of excited chaos as they plan a visit to Minaminagi Park. Ryouko teases Shizuka with exaggerated descriptions of theme park rides, which alarms her. Sunao apologizes for the noise and confirms the group plans to visit the park for fun before returning to Tokime Village, and that Sunao has marked every concession stand on a park map. Asahi practices with a marksmanship tool that Chika suggests will be useful for her work as a nature guide. Shizuka reveals that the current meeting is a rehearsal for their actual trip the following day, demonstrating their high level of enthusiasm for the outing.

• While some members of Promised Blood who held a strong hatred for Kamihama's Magical Girls never change their mind, others develop a sense of camaraderie through their past battles and visit the city on occasion. Kagome encounters Yuna in Kamihama, who explains she is chaperoning Ao and Ranka, not meeting with the Union. Yuna appears more tired than before, despite having fewer responsibilities. Hikaru and Juri are present and their outings often involve trouble, which has resulted in them breaking a boxing arcade machine. Ao and Ranka are engaged in a competitive video game tournament and their strategy is to win tickets to a future tournament with free accommodations, which Ao hopes will serve as a family trip for the group. Yuna, encouraged by the idea, cheers them on and Ao almost calls Yuna "Mom" before catching herself.

• The three members of Puella Care prepare to leave Kamihama City to help Magical Girls in other regions as part of their journey to redemption. Kyubey goes with them, as Livia insists on living for his mission rather than for the universe. Mitama and Kanagi choose to remain in Kamihama to maintain the student conference and support their many friends.
• Sometime later, a sense of peace and gratitude for Iroha's actions settles over the Magical Girls, though a feeling of loneliness for the lost friends remains. The girls frequently gather under the Eternal Sakura tree, where they sense a flow of magical impurities being purified and feel Iroha's presence.

• One day, Yachiyo, Momoko, Rena, Kaede, Tsuruno, Sana, and Felicia hold a picnic under the Eternal Sakura. They feel a strong connection to Iroha and Ui, who communicate with them briefly. Iroha explains that she, Ui, Touka, and Nemu are busy managing the records of Magical Girls from the past but will reunite with everyone someday. Iroha states that the place where the records are gathered is called the "Magia Record," and that the future publication of Kagome's book about Magical Girls may one day guide them all back together.

Unknown Placement

These events are known to have taken at some point before Arc 2's conclusion, but their placement is uncertain.

Kimochi Raids

The Kimochi Raids are a number of fights which could have happened at many points during the story. The documented cases are listed below, however it isn't verifiable whether they took place during the placement of their events, or even if they were the only ones. The first documented Kimochi Raids take place before Kagome makes her contract and it is also presumed that they stopped once the Kimochi were integrated into the Automatic Purification System. Only the first encounter has a story accompanying to it.

• Hollow copies of the Kimochi start to appear throughout Kamihama. They do not drop their main Kimochi Stones anymore, but they do drop fragments of crystals, which the Magical Girls find can be used in Coordination. In the order they were recorded in, they are:
  • Joyful - Sapphire Lips: Team Mikazuki encounter a copy of the Kimochi, which they note looks identical to the one Iroha has on her bracelet, but its magic pattern is different. Touka explains that these Kimochi are fragments of the giant Witch Eve, which scattered impurities after its defeat. When impurities exceed a certain level, they form a Kimochi. The group decides to study and fight this new enemy. Kagome wonders that if the Kimochi existed earlier, other Magical Girls must have fought them without knowing about the stones or even fragments, which can be used in Spirit Enhancement by Coordinators.

Snow-thawing Befana

• The last day of classes before winter break, Mikage tells her mother she will attend Lavi and Nayuta's Christmas party instead of their family dinner, hoping to experience a normal celebration after years of being teased for her family's strict Christmas rules. On her way, she meets Sudachi and Yozuru, who are dressed as the Three Wise Men for a Puella Care campaign, and joins them at Nayuta's house, where they discover a mysterious stocking stuffed with thirteen handmade confections. A Coordination grants Nayuta and Mikage matching outfits, and Nayuta's new magic summons a bare Christmas tree that pulls them inside an alternate world.
  • Inside the tree, they find ornaments containing memories of a girl named Rei's life: her loving childhood, her growth into adulthood, and eventually her pregnancy. The memories take a dark turn when they reveal Rei's mother furiously arguing they are too poor for another child, with Rei screaming that she did not want this either. Mikage realizes Rei is her mother and that she was an unwanted child, so she smashes the stocking and runs off.
  • That night, plagued by nightmares of being a burden, Mikage stays at Nayuta's house.
• At the closing ceremony, Mikage's mother meets her at the gate with her forgotten schoolbag. When scolded about being a nuisance, Mikage blurts out that she knows she was unwanted and heads inside. After the ceremony, her teacher reveals she has known Mikage's mother for ten years and shares stories of her sacrifice, including calmly saving a toddler Mikage from a near-fatal river accident while screaming her name to bring her back. The teacher offers to let Mikage live with her, but Mikage's hesitation shows she still wants to believe in her mother.
  • Mikage returns to the tree with Nayuta, Lavi, Sudachi, and Yozuru to find the final memory. It reveals Rei choosing to cut off her parents to keep Mitama and her unborn baby, proving her commitment to her new family. The world collapses, and they awaken in a final memory where young Rei learns the family Christmas rules from her father, an aspiring confectionist who vows to make an extra dish for every Christmas he might miss due to age. Mikage understands now: her mother always loved her, and the thirteen gifts fulfill her grandparents' promise for every Christmas they missed.
• On Christmas Eve, Mikage arrives home to find her grandparents waiting. They explain they left the stocking at Nayuta's house after recognizing Mikage by her voice and uniform. The family reconciles, sharing fried chicken and cake as Mikage begins the festivities with a heartfelt "Merry Christmas!"

A Merry Christmas in Everyone's Hands

• On Christmas day, Nayuta and Mikage help Mitama distribute gifts to all the magical girls at a special event. Mitama has collected donated items and matched them with girls who would appreciate them, leading to joyful reactions—Rion receives mushroom accessories, Hotori ecstatically accepts broken Dora Ranger goods from Seira, and Rena is shocked to learn her microphone originally belonged to Sayuki.
  • After all the girls have received their presents, the group notices one gift remaining for the little Kyubey. Mitama explains they made sure to include their important friend who watches over everyone, and Nayuta, Mikage, and Ui join in wishing the little creature a Merry Christmas.

Tokime Tribe Tale

• The Tokime squad cleans Suitoku Temple as part of an end-of-year tradition, and during the cleaning, Shizuka notices a strange trinket but sets it aside. Later, while selling donated books at Kako's store, they meet Team Mikazuki, and Shizuka and Iroha agree to meet in the shopping district tomorrow.
  • Back at the temple, the girls discuss the Tokime Tribe's New Year's ritual, where a sacred cup that entraps calamities must be tapped with a sacred sword to dispel accumulated evils. The Mikoshiba family traditionally performed it, but with them gone, the tribe lacks the knowledge to do it correctly, and failure is said to bring disaster.
  • That night, Shizuka dreams of a storm destroying the village and her wives dying alongside everyone else.
• The next day, Shizuka wakes shaken but hides it from Sunao and Chiharu. At Emiri's counseling center, they meet many Magical Girls, and Iroha notices Shizuka's distress. Shizuka admits she dreamed about the ritual failing, and Sunao and Chiharu reassure her they will help protect the village.
  • During shopping, Shizuka becomes separated and breaks down in the crowd. Natsuki finds her, and Shizuka confesses the full nightmare. Natsuki encourages her to accept her fear rather than deny it, and Shizuka realizes she has support.
  • Back home, the mothers have deciphered Mikoshiba's documents and feel confident about the ritual. That night, Shizuka dreams again, experiencing the perspective of Hatsu Tokime, an ancient heiress who discovers the calamity cup is a sham. A past Mikoshiba deceived a Diviner named Suwe into contracting with Kyubey to create the cup, which only the Mikoshiba family knows how to purify. Hatsu contracted to create the sacred sword as a counter, but the Mikoshibas broke a piece off and hid it. The dream ends with Hatsu begging Shizuka to restore the sword.
  • Shizuka sneaks to the ritual site and confirms the truth with Kyubey. Finding and reattaching the missing piece would destroy the cup permanently. She explains everything to Sunao and Chiharu, and they agree to help her steal the sword and find the missing piece.
  • Shizuka escapes the village while her wives create distractions, and she arrives in Kamihama with the sword.
• In Kamihama, Mitama directs her to others who can help. Natsuki and Tsuruno arrive, and Tsuruno guides them to Sayuki, Mayu, and Ria. Sayuki identifies the sword's origin, Mayu says restoration would take months, and Ria knows someone who can find objects. They go to Mikura, whose power passively helps locate artifacts. A clue leads them to the Mizuna art museum, where an antiques dealer has the missing sigil, mistakenly mixed into the haul from Suitoku Temple. The dealer will sell it for one hundred thousand yen.
  • Shizuka lacks the money, so they take emergency concert staff work at Sayuki's show. Afterward, they remain thirty thousand yen short, but Tsuruno wins a New Year's lottery with a gift certificate for exactly that amount using her luck magic.
  • Shizuka contacts her mother and confesses everything, and with help from Chiharu's mother, they complete the exchange. At Mitama's, Shizuka slots the piece into the sword, and it glows brilliantly. Ria uses concealment magic to hide its radiance for the return trip.
• On New Year's Eve, Shizuka returns the sword to its place in the village and meets with her friends and the Tokime mothers, explaining her plan to destroy the cup. They agree to help prevent the crowd from stopping her.
• On New Year's Day, as the ritual begins, Shizuka slots the sigil into place. The villagers panic, but Sunao calms them by explaining this is sacred. Shizuka destroys the cup with one blow, the sunrise pierces the darkness, and she declares the end of Mikoshiba's reign. The villagers cheer, and Shizuka hears Hatsu's voice thanking her.
• After New Year's, the Tokime girls visit Mikazuki with local specialties and share the full story. Shizuka explains the dreams were likely triggered by handling the sigil at the temple. She invites everyone to a hot springs trip as thanks, and Mikazuki eagerly accepts.

  • Nayuta plans a picnic to prove her independence after Lavi announces she will leave. She prepares bento using advice from an online cooking circle where "Tabi" has been helping her. When they encounter a hostage situation, Nayuta persuades the criminal to surrender. Lavi later learns the departure was a miscommunication and can stay. Nayuta throws a farewell party with cheesecake made using "Tabi's" recipe, unaware that Lavi is her online helper. Hinano experiences an urban legend during a sketching contest at a sunflower maze, playing traditional games with children she later learns were from an after-school care program who thought she was a kind fairy.
• Kagome finishes reading through the summer stories and feels envious, realizing she has no childhood friends to play with. Aru reassures her that her research and interactions with so many people prove she has grown. After receiving messages from various Magical Girls inviting her to hang out, Kagome realizes she has been using interviews as an excuse, building a wall between herself and others. Summoning courage, she calls Iroha and asks if they can go to Mitama's festival together, to have fun with everyone. Her own summer vacation finally begins.

Post-Arc 2

Following the conclusion of Arc 2, the order of most events can only be surmised through their order of release, as well as certain in-story clues, mainly the time of Iroha and Ui's return from the Magia Record, and then their subsequent return.

Joint Open Round-table Discussion

• Kagome struggles to organize her research until Touka sends an AI program that creates constructs of the Magical Girls themselves to recount their story.
  • The constructs appear and begin sharing their history in eleven chapters:
    • Various groups arrive in Kamihama searching for the Automatic Purification System as the Kimochi emerge from Eve's remains, starting a race to collect eight gems. The factions first clash at the container port, marking the beginning of violent conflict between them.
    • The race intensifies as Promised Blood kidnaps Ui, the Neo-Magius plan fails, and the Tokime Clan allies with the Union. The Endless Mirrors are discovered to enable teleportation. The Union plans to rescue Ui from Futatsugi City.
    • Tensions escalate as Juri attacks Mikazuki Villa and Iroha offers surrender. Touka and Nemu offer their lives to atone for the Magius's sins. Ryo is accidentally killed by Ao, awakening the final Kimochi. With all eight gems gathered, the Kimochi selects twelve fighters for the war.
    • Folklore of Zero reveals they were watching all along, bound to the Will of the Universe. The war intensifies between all factions. Kagome endures great pain to strengthen the Uwasa of the Wind Evangelist and continue reporting.
    • The Tokime Clan dissolves their alliance. Neo-Magius exploits divisions between families. Shizuka's distrust of humanity grows after attacks and manipulation. The Mirror Witch's true nature becomes clearer.

    • Neo-Magius recruits Shizuka, Mitama, Kanagi, and Ao. They make Kamihama unable to eat or drink through brainwashing. The mayor eventually reveals the truth, helping unite east and west. The Folklore of Zero abandons their plan to eliminate Magical Girls.
    • The groups locate the Automatic Purification System but are trapped by Kyubey. Lavi falls into resignation again and decides to absorb all Magical Girls. Iroha stops her, and the Kimochi submit to Iroha's commands. Kagome makes her contract, expelling Kyubey and allowing Ui to become the core.
  • The recollection ends. Touka and Nemu announce they will move all the AI constructs to a new world. Kagome realizes Touka used her data to run a simulation all along.

Dark Color Halloween is the Color of Love!?

• Approximately three weeks before Halloween, Mitama proposes a joint Halloween event to the Student Council representatives, Momoko and Kanagi, with themes of cross-team cooperation and anonymous interaction. The proposal passes the Council vote, and preparation groups mixing East and West members are formed. One group includes Sougetsu, Kanagi's brother, and Harumi, a high school student from Minagi.
• One week after preparations begin, Sougetsu and Harumi grow close after he walks her home, but a series of misunderstandings soon drives them apart. Sougetsu mistakenly believes his sister Kanagi is a romantic rival after seeing her talk with Harumi, while Harumi assumes Sougetsu likes Mitama after seeing them together.
• A few days later, their friends notice the distance and decide to observe before intervening. When Mitama and Kanagi attempt to create opportunities for them to work alone, their efforts backfire and deepen the misunderstandings.
• The day before venue setup, their friends orchestrate a direct push. During a candy run, Kanagi clarifies the misunderstanding with Sougetsu, while Harumi affirms her feelings to Mitama and Natsuki. Both decide to confess after the event.
• Two days before Halloween, Harumi's parents warn her that dating someone from the East while inheriting the family business will invite social hardship. Sougetsu's friends similarly caution him about the scrutiny Harumi will face. Both begin doubting whether they can pursue the relationship.
• The day before Halloween, venue setup proceeds but both are distracted. Sougetsu feels ashamed when Kanagi shields him from falling boxes, realizing he cannot protect Harumi alone. That evening, Mitama shares her own painful experience with the East-West conflict, warning Harumi of the weight such a relationship carries. Kanagi tells Sougetsu that bearing everything alone is arrogant.

• On Halloween Day, the Dark Halloween Party runs smoothly. After guests leave, Mitama arranges for Sougetsu and Harumi to meet alone in the Eternal Darkness Tour area. Sougetsu confesses, acknowledging the hardships ahead but expressing his desire to face them together. Harumi confesses in return, asking that they support each other side by side. Watching from a distance, Mitama reflects that they have taken a huge yet tiny first step.

Aru's Warning!

• Kagome and Aru rescue a Magical Girl from a Witch, but after several successful hunts, they encounter a powerful Witch whose attacks they cannot land and are forced to retreat. That night, Kagome feels frustrated she could not finish the fight herself and goes to sleep early.

Aru begins acting strangely, pulling up weeds and throwing them, then running off to visit multiple Magical Girls. At Manaka's store, she takes turnips and onions before escaping. At Hinano's chemistry club, she erases letters from the periodic table and causes an explosion. At Natsuki's location, she throws splitter balls at her. At Emiri's office, she collapses after scattering picture books.
  • The Magical Girls gather and realize Aru's behavior was a message. The Witch from yesterday created offshoots to hide its true location, and Aru has been trying to warn them. When Emiri cannot reach Kagome by phone, Aru collapses again.
  • They find Kagome alone, cornered by the original Witch. They explain the Witch used their magical reactions to hide its location, and Aru's rampage was an attempt to lead them to it. They defeat the familiars and pinpoint the Witch. Kagome experiences a memory transfer and understands Aru had split herself to investigate. Her own fear of failure suppressed her power and caused the communication loss
  • Aru awakens fully, and Kagome can understand her again. Using Aru's splitting ability to attack in unison, Kagome defeats the Witch. That evening, she reflects that asking for help is not weakness and failure is necessary for growth, resolving to keep Aru by her side.

Winter Recollection - An old story

• Several days before Christmas, Yachiyo helps Mitama shop for supplies while struggling to come up with a theme for the Coordinator's Christmas event. They encounter various magical girls around town who are also planning holiday activities, including Hinano, Sae, and Maria preparing a children's science class, and Seira, Mikura, and Temari working on a Christmas film for the local children's association. When Mifuyu mentions childhood Christmas parties at Mikazuki Villa and shows a photo of a play she and Yachiyo once performed, she recalls they buried the script in a time capsule.
  • Later that day, Yachiyo and Mifuyu return to Mikazuki Villa and dig up the time capsule with Tsuruno, Felicia, and Sana. As Yachiyo reads the play's synopsis aloud, Mifuyu transforms into the Fire Demon King character, her mental age regressing to that of a child while retaining her adult memories. Yachiyo theorizes that following the story's plot by solving people's problems and granting the Demon King's wish might revert Mifuyu, and notes that a child's perspective makes her uniquely suited to help with the Christmas events.
  • That same day, Yachiyo brings Mifuyu to help with the Christmas film, and Mifuyu eagerly agrees to play a transforming heroine. They later encounter Hinano's group still struggling with their science class, and Mifuyu suggests presenting it as a hero show using chemistry, agreeing to appear as the hero. That evening at Mikazuki Villa, the group shares a meal together, and Yachiyo observes Mifuyu is already solving problems and moving toward granting her wish.
• The next day at the science class, Mifuyu encounters Yukika, who fears her bad luck will cause accidents, but Mifuyu promises to protect everyone. The hero show begins, and though experiments go wrong, the final demonstration succeeds. When a child runs toward the expanding foam, Mifuyu rescues them, becoming a real hero. Afterward, sharing food with everyone at a cafe, Mifuyu realizes her true wish was simply to experience ordinary, happy moments with friends—the girlhood she never had. She instantly reverts to her adult self, recognizing the parallel to the Demon King whose wish was to get along with everyone.
  • Back at Mikazuki Villa, Yachiyo and Mifuyu finally realize the perfect theme for Mitama's event: returning to a child's heart. As Yachiyo walks home afterward, she feels unusually cold and observes it has not snowed yet this year.

Winter Recollection - A phantom story

• Days before Christmas, Mitama prepares for a holiday event at her Coordinator shop when Momoko visits and shares news about Mifuyu. Mifuyu had recently transformed into the "Fire Demon King" from a childhood play after opening a time capsule, her mind regressing to childhood, but Yachiyo and the others followed the story's plot to help her realize her wish had already been fulfilled. While they discuss this, Tsuruno arrives with Yachiyo, Felicia, and Sana. Mifuyu joins them, now in her adult mind but still able to transform into the Demon King form. Concerned the time capsule might still be dangerous, Felicia opens it and discovers the script inside now has visible text. When Yachiyo reads it, she transforms into the "Ice Queen" from the same play, though her adult mind remains. Suddenly, Mifuyu vanishes and the group finds themselves transported to a strange world where they must follow the story's narrative to save her.
  • The group progresses through the story, gathering "Fragments of Anguish" that reveal not only the Demon King's memories but also Mifuyu's real struggles with her family's expectations and her guilt over missing Kanae's funeral. Yachiyo realizes the story is about Mifuyu's sorrow and discovers a magic wand cut from the original script that can grant small prayers by providing what is necessary. When the story tries to force its "merry bad ending" where the Queen and Demon King vanish, the others use the wand to summon help and break through to Yachiyo and Mifuyu. Yachiyo shows Mifuyu she is no longer just a daughter of the Azusa family but a woman living as herself, saving the Demon King. However, Yachiyo then freezes her heart and vanishes into the mountains, repeating the Queen's lonely ending.
  • Mifuyu learns from Yachiyo's attendant that the Queen always supported others alone and never showed weakness, gathering fragments about Yachiyo's own hidden pain. She finds Yachiyo in the mountains, where Yachiyo admits she always wanted to be spoiled but felt she had to stay strong for others. Mifuyu calls for help, and everyone sends their feelings, including Iroha and Ui who entered the shop looking for missing girls. Yachiyo remembers her wish when making the time capsule as a child: to never forget their happy memories. The two acknowledge they envied each other's situations growing up but now share the goal of creating a happy future for Magical Girls. They decide to create a new ending together with no sacrifices, the story resolves, and everyone returns to reality, the time capsule's magic born from both their wishes.
• On the day of the Christmas event, the younger Magical Girls reveal they have prepared activities so the older ones can return to childhood. They perform a play, break a piñata, play musical chairs, and present a cake they made together, pampering an embarrassed but grateful Yachiyo.
  • That night, after everyone has gone home, Yachiyo and Mifuyu watch snow fall outside. They promise to celebrate Christmas together forever, and a White Christmas arrives.

Don't Show Tears to Santa Claus

• The girls at Mikazuki hold a Christmas party, exchanging gifts and enjoying a meal together. While cleaning up afterward, Felicia becomes upset while reading a picture book Sana made, explaining she does not want it to end because she fears sad endings after losing Iroha and the others. Yachiyo comforts her by saying endings lead to new beginnings, and they must keep moving forward to honor the future that was given to them. Felicia feels reassured and decides to finish the book. Yachiyo privately vows that she will one day bring back the life she had with those she lost, no matter what ending awaits.

Feeling the Winds of a New Year

• On New Year's Day in Kamihama City, various groups of magical girls spend the holiday in their own ways before unexpectedly gathering at the same location to offer New Year's greetings.
  • Yachiyo, Tsuruno, Felicia, and Sana reflect on the absence of Iroha and Ui but resolve to cherish the present and visit the New Year's sales. Juri's group participates in a lucky bag sale, where Yuna receives a diary she will use to record their daily lives for when they reunite with Iroha. The Tokime Clan shares mochi and plays hanetsuki, with Shizuka proposing they build a new relationship with Kyubey. Himena's group also plays hanetsuki while sharing resolutions, with Himena declaring her wish for an amusement park date and hitting the shuttlecock skyward to send their feelings to Iroha. At a guest house, Lavi's group helps with the New Year's rush before sharing ozoni and practicing calligraphy. Sudachi returns to Livia and Yozuru after visiting her parents, sharing her resolution to attend school even if just for one day.
  • Later that day, all the groups converge at the same location, having each come to offer New Year's greetings to the one who protected their future. They exchange well-wishes, acknowledging their shared bond from overcoming past trials. Yachiyo expresses certainty that Iroha has received their messages, and Iroha's voice responds, wishing everyone a Happy New Year.

New Year☆First Dream Scramble

• Late on New Year's night, Homura wakes up in an unfamiliar town wearing a kimono and finds herself sharing a dream with Madoka. Amy the cat leads them to dice with fortunes, revealing they are trapped in a life-sized board game where the goal is Mizuna Shrine.
  • Throughout the night, they roll dice and travel across Kamihama, learning they must follow the game's rules after Homura fails to cheat by taking a train. They encounter Kyoko, Sayaka, and other Magical Girls also trapped in the dream. When they finally reach Mizuna Shrine, they are sent back to the start for not meeting the goal conditions.
  • During their second loop, they visit Mitama and learn through dream readings that the six Magical Girls spent New Year's Day together and received origami for good dreams, but Nagisa accidentally mixed them up. Mitama theorizes the dream belongs to Amy, who simply wanted to play until exhausted. Homura runs away just before the finish line, believing she is why Madoka cannot escape, and they are sent back again.
  • Early in the morning of the next day of the dream, they reach Mizuna Shrine for the final time. Understanding they need to deepen their bond casually, they hold hands and watch the first sunrise together, finally meeting the goal conditions.
  • That morning in the real world, Homura and Madoka wake up at Mami's house with fading memories of the dream. As the others prepare for their New Year's shrine visit, Madoka asks everyone what their first dream was.

Valentine Message

• Livia, Yozuru, and Sudachi arrive in Takarazaki and are overwhelmed by an abnormally powerful Witch that attacks from untraceable directions, forcing them to retreat.
  • They attempt to open their business but face deep distrust from the local Magical Girls, who mention bad rumors about Coordinators from Kamihama. They meet a local Magical Girl, Kuro, who states she prefers to work alone.
  • Livia appoints Sudachi as the "Minister of Public Relations," giving her a new look to improve their image. Unbeknownst to Sudachi, Livia and Yozuru's real plan is to find and eliminate the dangerous Witch.
  • While Sudachi struggles to promote their services, Livia and Yozuru investigate the Witch and learn it has been present for months but has caused no known victims. Sudachi uses her unique magic to forcibly "switch" the emotions of the local Magical Girls from distrust to enthusiasm, successfully drawing a crowd.
  • When Livia discovers this, she's horrified, and orders Sudachi to reverse the magic. The freed Magical Girls become furious. Sudachi is left distressed and confused by the failure.
• The next day, Sudachi is demoralized after clients, angry that her magic reverted, vow never to return. Livia refuses a client's request to erase memories, explaining the magic's limits, and tells Sudachi to try the next day without using her unique magic.
• The following day, Sudachi avoids her duties, convinced she is a failure. She decides to never use her magic again.
  • Despondent, she goes to the station, buys a ticket to Kamihama, and decides to run away.
  • Livia, feeling guilty for her harshness, learns from Yozuru that Sudachi might have been trying to like her own magic. They find Sudachi at the station, where she has been unable to board a train, and Livia apologizes to her.
  • Sudachi recalls a past event at the station and realizes the current Witch incident is her fault, sensing a connection to Kuro.
  • The powerful Witch appears and Sudachi confronts the hidden Kuro, who reveals she is compelled to protect the Witch.
  • Sudachi remembers using her magic on Kuro months prior, accidentally creating the compulsion. Livia deduces the magical effect and proposes Sudachi lift it.
  • The Witch attacks and Sudachi uses her magic on Kuro, restoring her original feelings. Now freed from the compulsion, Kuro instantly destroys the Witch.

• The Coordinators' shop remains empty. Yozuru states the incident had no good outcomes, while Livia takes responsibility for assigning Sudachi unsuitable work.
  • Sudachi resolves to use her magic carefully, not abandon it. Suddenly, the Magical Girl Sudachi altered arrives, grateful for the experience as it helped her realize her own potential. This causes Sudachi to reconsider her magic entirely and Livia assigns her to handle the coordination for their first regular customer.

• Two days before Valentine's Day, Sudachi visits Mikage in Kamihama. They stop a man whose truck is under a Witch's Kiss, defeat the Witch, and are thanked with a large quantity of professional chocolate.
  • At Mikage's home, they decide to make friendship chocolates, refusing Mitama's kitchen offer. They call Lavi for guidance and make about 100 pieces.
• The evening before Valentine's, the girls hold a pajama party where Tsuruno eagerly tries to spark romantic conversation. When no one has love stories to share, Felicia enthusiastically describes her loving relationship, which turns out to be with a golden retriever puppy named Jontaro. The conversation shifts to ideal lovers, with Yachiyo suggesting a wagashi confectioner, Iroha wanting someone who accepts her, and Sana shyly describing a fantasy prince before feeling self-conscious. Felicia comforts her by sharing her own admiration for Kuushinsai-sensei. When Tsuruno is asked about her ideal, she says someone who will help Banbanzai flourish, leading Yachiyo to point out that for all of them, love takes a backseat to their priorities. Iroha reflects that she hopes other magical girls' feelings of love turn out well.

• On Valentine's Day, Sudachi works at the Puella Care shop and Livia and Yozuru note the increased customer traffic is due to her efforts. Her friends from Kamihama visit to thank her for the chocolates.
  • Meanwhile in Kamihama, Akari is sad because Haruto is away, meaning she can't give him the chocolate brownies she made. Her friends Moka, Ranka, and Hotaru cheer her up by sharing their own chocolates, turning it into a friend chocolate exchange. When Haruto suddenly returns, Akari gives him her chocolate, but he mistakes it for "care chocolate" for someone he sees as a little sister and leaves before she can correct him. To everyone's surprise, Akari takes it well, deciding his misunderstanding proves she needs to improve herself before confessing for real.
  • Iroha appears, giving out thank-you chocolates with Mikage and Sudachi helping.

Summer Pop Festival!

• On a walk in Kamihama, Nagisa encounters the Pink Kyubey, a supervisor from the Law of Cycles, and feels guilty for using her assignment as an excuse to enjoy her freedom, though she reaffirms her decision to live as she pleases. Later that day, a witch resembling her former self appears and attacks, and Mami, Madoka, Homura, Kyoko, and Sayaka help her defeat it. After the battle, Nagisa privately agonizes that her presence causes these witches to appear and disrupts everyone's peace, and Mami, noticing her distress, invites her to a summer event the next day.
• The following day, Nagisa meets Mami at the water park for the Summer Pop Festival, a student event featuring a new cheese snack. Though Nagisa initially tries to restrain herself, she quickly loses control and eagerly samples the Magical Triple Cheese, drawing attention and being mistaken for a runaway child, forcing Mami to cover for her by claiming to be her older sister. They meet Himena and Alexandra, two Magical Girls who were inspired by Nagisa's freedom, and the group spends time together at the festival.
  • Nagisa notices many attendees seem withdrawn and reluctant to participate, and when a Witch Barrier suddenly appears, the group fights the Charlotte Witches, who have multiplied. Frustrated, Nagisa charges in alone but struggles, and Mami saves her while exhausting her own magic, leaving Nagisa feeling guilty for causing trouble. She resolves to find Himena and Alexandra to obtain a Grief Seed and searches alone, defeating one witch by herself but soon becoming surrounded.
  • Himena and Alexandra rescue her, and Nagisa, remembering the Witches were once her, correctly guesses they are distracted by cheese. The group uses Magical Triple Cheese to exploit this weakness and defeats the witches, allowing Nagisa to obtain a Grief Seed and return to Mami. That evening, a powerful witch, another version of her former self, appears and targets Nagisa but then flees, having found a more important objective, and the group agrees to defeat it together. Nagisa admits to herself that she is the cause of the disturbances and decides that after resolving this, she will return to the Law of Cycles.
  • Later, Nagisa confronts the powerful witch alone and finds it completely engrossed in searching for cheese, ignoring her entirely. Furious that a witch embodies the freedom she has been suppressing, Nagisa attacks, and during the fight her Soul Gem becomes heavily corrupted, though she refuses to use a Grief Seed, determined to defeat the witch herself. She unleashes her power and gains a new form, defeating the witch but discovering her power has splashed onto others, causing them to act on their hidden desires—initially creating chaos but ultimately giving shy students the courage to enjoy the festival and connect with each other. The festival resumes, and attendees express their gratitude.
• The next day, Nagisa visits Mami, believing she must return to the Law of Cycles, but Mami greets her warmly and calls her the "Festival Witch," a nickname other students gave her for her miraculous acts. Realizing she is not seen as a threat but as someone who brought joy, Nagisa decides to stay in this universe and continue living freely with Mami, bidding farewell to the Pink Kyubey and choosing her own path.
• One day, Nagisa tries to convince Mami, Kyoko, Sayaka, Madoka, and Homura to go to the sea with her, but they all decline for various reasons. Frustrated at being treated like a child, she storms off alone.
  • She meets Felicia, Ayame, and Kako while buying snacks, and the three of them wander together before getting lost. They visit Tsuruno at her family restaurant, where she feeds them and offers to join their trip, but they sneak away without her.
  • The girls spend the day at the sea, playing and enjoying themselves until evening, when Felicia, Ayame, and Kako prepare to leave. Nagisa, having nowhere to return to, insists on staying. Yachiyo, Konoha, and Hazuki arrive to pick up the others and, learning Nagisa's situation, invite her to stay overnight at their home.
  • That night, unable to sleep, Nagisa realizes that despite the fun day, something feels missing. She understands that she misses the cheese Mami gives her and decides she must return and face her.
• Konoha and Hazuki accompany Nagisa back to Mitakihara, where Mami is waiting. Mami thanks them and promises Nagisa that today she will do whatever Nagisa wants.
  • Mami gathers everyone and they return to the sea. Nagisa tests Mami's promise by asking for sweets and activities, and Mami agrees to everything. When Nagisa goes to retrieve Mami's phone for a photo, the Witch of the former Nagisa appears.
  • Nagisa fights the Witch alone, revealing a new power, and defeats it with some assistance on the Familiars. Afterward, Mami produces cheese and cheesecake she brought, and Nagisa realizes that Mami is the one who gives her the cheese that truly satisfies her. She resolves to cherish every moment with everyone.

  • The group travels to Aobino and, at the beach, they encounter San and Miyuri, where Nayuta suffers from heatstroke, and the group returns to the inn.
  • Kagome, San, and Miyuri discuss the case, and Kagome sends her clones of Aru to search for magical traces.

  • Kagome flees from zombified versions of her friends, guided by the yōkai Arus.
  • Kagome escapes the Labyrinth and collapses on the real beach. She is found by the others, who explain she was missing for two days.
  • They deduce a Magical Girl, fascinated by the occult and local yōkai legends, became the Witch causing the incidents.
  • Using a Fire Festival ritual, they manage to open a path into the Labyrinth for everyone. The group enters the Labyrinth to confront the Witch and Kagome, separated again, uses her staff's light to dispel illusions of her friends and reunite with the real group.
  • They defeat the Witch together, and Kagome's appearance and the yōkai Arus also return to normal.
  • The group decides to combat the rumors by promoting the area's authentic yōkai legends instead.

• Kagome receives an invitation from Himena to a gathering of Magical Girls with the condition that she come dressed in something that can get wet. She arrives to discover the true purpose is a beach outing with Himena, San, Shigure, Hagumu, Alexandra, and Miyuri. Despite the deception, Kagome appreciates the gesture. At the beach, Kagome senses a Witch and pursues it alone but loses track of it. While searching, she encounters Amabie-al-chan giving a cucumber to an elementary school girl, and the girl notices Kagome in her Demon Parade Magical Girl form. Before Kagome can handle the situation, Himena and the others find her and suggest she detransform. The girl approaches and asks if she saw a kappa, then excitedly declares Kagome a comrade in searching for the Seven Mysteries.
  • The girl explains she is researching the local Seven Mysteries for her summer homework and wants to believe in mysterious things to escape problems at home and school. She asks Kagome to become an eyewitness and let her conduct an interview. Kagome, relating to the act of interviewing, agrees. Himena, who overheard everything, tells the girl that the day after tomorrow's festival is when Seven Mysteries are most likely to appear and claims the kappa was the "Moving Plushie." The girl excitedly agrees to meet at the festival. After she leaves, Himena reveals her plan to use the Magical Girls to make the Seven Mysteries a reality, with Kagome as the interviewee.
• The next day, Kagome consults other Magical Girls about the plan. Kureha, Juri, Hikaru, and Ao agree to help, and through their discussion they create "The Girl with Horns" as the second Mystery. Later, Kagome brings the consultation to Shizuka, Ryoko, Asahi, Chika, Chiharu, and Sunao. Ryoko's ghost story and the frightened reactions of Shizuka, Chiharu, and Sunao inspire "The Chorus of Sobbing Voices," though the three request the remaining Mysteries be less scary. The discussion continues as they finalize the lineup.
• The day of the festival arrives. The girl comes with her mother, and Himena convinces the mother it is a volunteer play. The investigation proceeds through various performances: San and Miyuri as the "Leg Girl," Kureha as "The Girl with Horns," Shizuka's group as the "Laughing Ghost" after their sobbing fails, Asahi as the "Prophesying Cat," and Shizuku's sudden appearance as the "Torii Gate to Another World." As they prepare for the final Mystery, Kagome senses a Witch and leaves to fight it. The defeated Witch's disappearance creates a spectacular display of light and plushies, amazing the girl. Himena improvises that the final Mystery is the "Nurarihyon," a yōkai leading the "Night Parade of One Hundred Demons."
  • Later that night, Kagome rides home on the train with Tasuke, Nayuta, and Lavi, who have fallen asleep. As she drifts off, she recalls the girl's words about believing in the Seven Mysteries. Despite everything, it becomes a summer memory she will never forget.

Puella Historia

• Iroha and Ui accumulate the records of magical girls from the past when Iroha suddenly collapses after returning from her sixth trip to the past, destabilizing her existence due to her soul being in the present while she acts in the past. Yachiyo and Kagome discover issues with the APS malfunctioning, leading them to Sakurako, where Nemu explains that a Soul Dome was used to allow Iroha to travel through time. As her existence has become unstable, Nemu implores the magical girls of Kamihama to retrieve fragments of Iroha's concept from the six eras she visited, as well as providing books containing her alter-egos to instruct them through the mirrors. For more information, go to /Magia Record Game.

• A group of Magical Girls gathers to address the crisis and Yachiyo suggests that all present Magical Girls contribute their magic to sustain the purification system until those in the past return.
  • Yachiyo recalls feeling Iroha's presence among the gathered magical girls and she proposes that the collective presence of the girls Iroha sacrificed herself to save might recover her concept. This proves unsuccessful, so Livia suggests investigating the Mirrors Witch, Mikoto Sena, who resides within Iroha.
  • Nemu has Sakurako retrieve Mikoto's closed book from the Magia Record, and Kagome uses her power to enter it and communicate with the record of Mikoto. The record claims she has not betrayed Iroha and is merely observing her fulfill her promise. Before Kagome leaves, Mikoto warns her that a Witch has been near them the entire time, one that feels familiar.
  • Yachiyo's group returns from hunting, having failed to find Iroha's concept at the Mirror Witch's former battlefield. Kagome suddenly awakens and urgently warns everyone of an apparent nearby Witch.
  • Mitama and the adjusters, concentrating deeply, sense a faint Witch presence. Mitama guides Yachiyo to attack a specific point in space, revealing a Symbols Familiar. After its defeat, the Soul Dome reacts, collecting a fragment of Iroha's concept that the Familiar was carrying.
  • The group realizes this specific Witch's magic has become faint to them after Coordinators had used its fragments for adjusting Soul Gems. The group deduces that a Witch has been stealing Iroha's concept.
  • Kagome, after consulting Mikoto's book again, relays information about the Witch. The Symbol Witch is ancient, and she can create and control separate offshoots of itself even across time. It has been rooted beneath Mizuna Castle since the Sengoku period, and has been devouring other Witches to build strength.
  • Yachiyo gathers the group to attack the Witch at Mizuna Castle immediately, and Nemu sends Sakurako with Yachiyo's team as her representative.

The Soul Vessel glows brightly as it collects a large portion of Iroha's concept.
  • All the teams that traveled to the past return safely, having successfully retrieved the fragments of Iroha's concept from history. With all the concepts collected, Iroha, Ui, Lil' Kyubey, Touka, and Nemu fully reappear, having been restored.
  • Their reunion is interrupted when Iroha's Soul Gem suddenly flares with pain and 10^-43's Barrier erupts, swallowing Iroha and Yachiyo. The Witch's massive form appears and Kagome realizes the Witch they defeated was merely an offshoot, and the main body has now recovered alongside Iroha's concept and is merging with all its separate parts across time.
  • The Automatic Purification System is stolen, and the Witch's Barrier covers the entire world.

Pillar of Tomorrow

• Kamihama is now engulfed in a massive Labyrinth, with the Witch at its center. Iroha and Yachiyo, trapped within the void, witness disturbing visions of the Witch’s past and her wish for a prosperous paradise, which led to misfortune. As the other girls fight their way through the Labyrinth, Yachiyo, on the verge of becoming a Witch, devises a risky plan to exploit the Witch’s connection to Iroha.
  • Yachiyo, having gone back in time to gather the hopes of Magical Girls of the past, transforms into Historia Yachiyo and delivers the final blow to the Witch, freeing Iroha. Touka and Nemu reveal their secret plan to restore Iroha and Ui’s mortal forms inadvertently caused the crisis. They explain that Iroha’s concept has been fully restored, but she must return to the Eternal Sakura for final verifications.
• Days later, Iroha and Ui leave the Automatic Purification System to Touka and Nemu, and finally rejoin Mikazuki Villa, but Iroha is still connected to the Magia Record.

Paradise Shift

• Iroha and Ui, the core of the Magia Record system, are enjoying their return to normal life in Kamihama. However, they notice many of their friends are acting secretive. Through a series of misunderstandings including a portrait (a "montage"), talk of "drugging" (making science sweets), "cutting and stabbing" (flower arranging), and a stage for "singing and dancing," Iroha and Ui mistakenly think some of their friends are plotting against them.
  • Their investigation, led by Tsuruno and Felicia, eventually reveals that everyone was secretly preparing a surprise welcome home party for them. The misunderstanding is cleared up, and Iroha is deeply moved by everyone's feelings.
  • Shortly after, feeling they have been resting too much, Iroha and Ui visit the Eternal Sakura to check on Touka and Nemu, who are maintaining Magia Record. They learn that due to the nature of their return, which was due to 10^-43's intervention, going back into Magia Record would trap Iroha and Ui there permanently. Touka and Nemu had kept this secret to ensure Iroha and Ui could enjoy their normal lives.

• The following day, Iroha and Ui spend a final, happy day with their parents at an amusement park, which strengthens their resolve. They decide their duty to protect all Magical Girls outweighs their personal happiness, and they choose to return to Magia Record permanently.
• On the day of the party, the welcome home party begins. Iroha and Ui, their minds made up, announce their decision to return to Magia Record forever. To spare their friends the pain of their absence, they even ask Touka and Nemu to create a rumor that will erase everyone's memories of them. Their friends vehemently refuse this, insisting they would rather bear the pain of memory than forget.
  • In a final twist, Touka and Nemu reveal their own surprise that the immense positive energy generated by the party itself has provided the power needed for Iroha and Ui to travel freely to and from Magia Record, thus their sacrifice is no longer necessary. The party truly becomes a true celebration of their return, and the group makes plans to visit the amusement park together, now able to move forward without sacrifice.

Iroha & Kuroe's Side Story

This event takes place at some point after Iroha has returned from the Magia Record for the first time.

• Kuroe wakes to her alarm but chooses to sleep in after dreaming of an idealized morning with Iroha, a stark contrast to her reality that makes her want to avoid facing another same old day.
  • After finishing her classes, Kuroe begins her solo patrol and receives a message from San about an emergency gathering for Magical Girls in Takarazaki. Despite her usual preference for solitude, she decides to attend, thinking that nothing will change if she keeps acting alone. At the gathering, she joins a joint patrol and pairs with another Magical Girl, but their time together is quiet and awkward. They find a Witch's Kiss victim and track the Witch, and Kuroe leads the fight before offering the Grief Seed to her partner afterward. The girl becomes angry, interpreting the offer as pity, leaving Kuroe confused and hurt as she realizes her attempt to act normal has failed again.

  • That evening, Kuroe receives a message from Iroha suggesting they meet in Takarazaki next weekend, and Kuroe eagerly agrees, feeling that maybe things will finally change.
• The following weekend, Kuroe meets Iroha in Takarazaki and initially feels nervous, but she relaxes after Iroha shares candy with her. They decide to go to the park to avoid Kuroe's classmates, and Kuroe confesses her struggles with acting normal and her fear that she unintentionally hurts others. Iroha reassures her and suggests they simply spend time together without overthinking.
  • Later that afternoon, they watch takoyaki being made and share a genuine laugh together. When an elderly woman asks for directions, Iroha guides her while Kuroe nervously returns the woman's dropped wallet, and Iroha praises Kuroe for her kindness. Kuroe reflects that she is trying to become more like Iroha. They discover a movie photo spot in the city, but before they can take a picture, Himena, San, and Miyuri arrive. San quickly leaves upon seeing them, and Kuroe explains the gathering incident to Iroha. Iroha wishes she could help clear the misunderstanding, but Kuroe says it is fine as long as Iroha understands her. They take a photo together, though Kuroe is unhappy with her smile.
  • That evening, Iroha insists on staying longer to help Kuroe resolve her issues. They sense a Familiar nearby, and though Kuroe hesitates to get involved out of fear she will cause trouble, Iroha's encouragement pushes her to act. She asks Iroha to fight alongside her.
• The next day, they track the presence and find San's group already fighting Familiars inside a barrier. Kuroe feels unnecessary and suggests they leave, but suddenly a hidden Witch attacks and captures one of the Magical Girls.
  • Iroha encourages Kuroe and tells her she believes in her. Kuroe joins the fight while San frees the captured girl, and with Iroha's help, Kuroe defeats the Witch. After the battle, Kuroe apologizes to the girl from the gathering and explains her intentions, and the girl apologizes in return, admitting she misunderstood. San praises Kuroe's growth since her time as a Black Feather, and Kuroe credits Iroha for believing in her.
  • Later, Kuroe and Iroha say goodbye. Kuroe asks to retake their photo, this time smiling genuinely, and promises to text Iroha next instead of waiting for her. That night, Kuroe dreams of patrolling with Iroha, feeling that reality is slowly getting closer to her ideal.
• The next morning, Kuroe wakes from a strange dream and reflects that things have been going well lately. She has become better at interacting with others by emulating Iroha, but she notices her Soul Gem clouds more easily and she feels mentally fatigued. She considers resting but pushes forward, wanting to become strong enough to stand beside Iroha. On her way home, she stops at a convenience store and buys the same candy Iroha shared with her. She thinks about contacting Iroha but decides to keep trying on her own for now, resolving that next time she will go see Iroha herself.

• One day, Mikoto awakens from a nightmare after her act of absorbing Hanna's malice has caused her own memories to start fading. As there's been a recent spike in anonymous serial attacks in town, they find a note on their door accusing them of being the serial attackers.
  • Mikoto attempts to clear their names but is met with hostility, which causes her to despair and wish for everyone to disappear. Seeing her distress, Hanna declares she will embrace her role as the "Chaotic Villain" to seek revenge and protect Mikoto's purity.
  • That evening, they confront the café owner, who confesses she used Mikoto as a cover for her own illegal dealings. Hanna uses her magic to force a confession to the police, but hours later, a new serial attack occurs, proving a separate culprit exists.
  • The police, investigating the new crime, locate their apartment, and the two flee as they're chased by them. As Hanna prepares to use her magic on them, Mikoto stops her, not wanting Hanna to become corrupted, so Hanna instead makes the townspeople forget them.
  • Exhausted and with no place to go, they take refuge in a dirty alley where Mikoto expresses a wish to die. Instead, Hanna proposes they destroy everything that torments them, and Mikoto agrees.
  • Hanna devises the "Let's Ruin Everything Plan," involving bombs across the town. They construct what appear to be pipe bombs and plant them at locations tied to Mikoto's painful memories.
  • Hanna gives Mikoto the detonator and begins a countdown, but Mikoto realizes she does not want to lose the happy memories she created with Hanna. When the countdown reaches zero, a beautifully restored merry-go-round at a nearby amusement park begins to spin instead of an explosion.
  • Hanna reveals the bombs were fake, and she had secretly used her magic to repair the ride to give Mikoto a beautiful memory. That night, they ride the merry-go-round together, and Mikoto confesses that Hanna is her hope and the source of the light in her world.
• At dawn, the merry-go-round stops and Mikoto and Hanna leave the town. They plant snowdrop seeds along railway tracks as a testament to their existence. Mikoto tells Hanna she is glad they met and that she wants to continue living as long as they are together, pleading with Hanna not to leave her.
• Through their journey, Mikoto, influenced by the Uwasa's persona, creates Familiars that attack people in the towns they pass through.
  • Hanna discovers Mikoto in a store, surrounded by her Familiars, searching for a pen to give Hanna as a Christmas gift. Realizing Mikoto has become a danger to others and cannot be stopped, Hanna decides to stay by her side as an accomplice in her "evil."
  • By this point, Nanaka has used Iroha's Mirrors to escape the Rumor of Endless Mirrors and started keeping track of the incidents of people being attacked. She assembles a team of Magical Girls from Kamihama to go with her and try to capture Mikoto and Hanna. Meanwhile, Iroha and other Magical Girls keep fighting in the Rumor of Endless Mirrors to drain Mikoto's energy. Nanaka continues her search for Hanna and Mikoto, believing they are in a particular town.
• Nanaka and her allies track Mikoto and Hanna, analyzing the path of incidents to predict their route and they devise a strategy to corner the two by herding them along a specific path.
  • Mikoto and Hanna are found and engaged in multiple battles as they are chased through the mountains. During the fight, Mikoto, confused and forgetful, attacks indiscriminately. Hanna covers for her, claiming responsibility for all the incidents.

• After a night of fighting, they eventually escape into the snowy mountains. Exhausted, Mikoto and Hanna stop in a snowfield. They build snowmen and have a snowball fight, creating final happy memories together.
  • Mikoto's memories are almost completely gone. To save her, Hanna uses suggestion magic to make Mikoto forget her and instructs her to go to a nearby village alone. Mikoto resists the suggestion due to Hanna's name being written on her arm and refuses to be left behind.
  • In a final confrontation with Nanaka and the others, Mikoto surrenders her body to the Uwasa's persona to use its power, while using suggestion magic she just transplanted from Hanna to maintain control. Despite a fierce battle, both are overwhelmed and the magic maintaining their forms is nearly depleted.
  • Mikoto and Hanna escape their pursuers one last time, stumbling further into the snowfield. They both collapse from exhaustion, their memories and strength finally giving out. They find each other and hold hands, sharing a final conversation where they speak of a beautiful, imagined Christmas they never had.
  • They vanish together in the snow, and in Kamihama, Nemu also reveals she tore the page of their Rumor from her book, ending their story there.

• Days later, Nanaka and Kako visit the site where they disappeared, where they find two snowdrop flowers blooming in the snow, the only sign that Mikoto and Hanna were ever there.

Happy New Year! Dragon Rush!

• Asuka sees the kadomatsu and hopes for an auspicious first dream.
  • She has a vivid dream about a ritual involving a dragon and tells her parents about it. They explain the legend of the Dragon God, the founder of their family, and a lost New Year's ritual. Asuka decides she will revive the ritual.
• A few days later, Asuka goes shopping with Sasara. She explains her dream and her plan to revive the ritual, but Sasara is worried it's based on too little information and could be dangerous.
  • The two sense and fight a Witch, but Asuka is injured protecting Sasara, and the Witch escapes. Sasara is angry that Asuka doesn't value her own safety, and the arguments escalates until Sasara leaves.
• Asuka confides in their friends about the fight, and she declares that she will perform the ritual to prove her righteousness, and by extension, prove that Sasara's justice is correct. With Emiri's help, they use a group chat to ask other Magical Girls for information about the ritual.
  • The group investigates and they find an old mallet in a box at Asuka's house, along with a note saying it will shine for a righteous person of the Tatsuki family. The mallet does not shine for Asuka, causing her to doubt if she is righteous.
  • She goes to Suitoku Temple and learns from the Tokime clan that the ritual was likely a Kagami Biraki (Mirror Opening ceremony).
• Troubled by the mallet's judgment, Asuka tries to become more righteous by performing good deeds around town. Her attempts are clumsy and often backfire, causing more trouble until her friends find her and bring her home.
  • Asuka goes to apologize to Sasara, but the conversation fails because Asuka still doesn't understand why Sasara is angry. To help her, Livia performs a coordination on Asuka and tells her to have a real conversation with her friend.
  • Asuka meditates in her garden, trying to understand righteousness. Ryoko visits and advises her to stop overthinking and to figure out what she doesn't understand. Asuka realizes she doesn't understand why she made Sasara angry or what "righteousness" truly means.
  • The Tokime clan and Sasara discuss the situation separately. Sasara explains that she is angry because Asuka constantly risks herself and doesn't listen to her pleas to be more careful. She wants Asuka to realize on her own that she needs to value her own safety.

• The day of the ritual arrives and Asuka still hasn't found a clear answer. The Witch from their previous fight reappears, but Asuka hesitates, once again doubting her own righteousness. Regardless, she decides to fight based on her current convictions and Sasara arrives to fight the Witch as well.
  • During the battle, Sasara mimics Asuka's reckless behavior to make her understand how it feels to watch someone you care about risk themselves. Asuka finally understands Sasara's feelings and they reconcile.
  • The mallet begins to shine, and Asuka transforms into a form resembling the Dragon God from her dream. Together with Sasara and the Tokime clan, they defeat the Witch.
  • Their friends arrive, having been worried and Ryoko reveals that the story about past ritual failures was a lie, concocted to motivate Asuka.
  • Asuka performs the Kagami Biraki ritual with the shining mallet, which causes the ceremonial mochi to multiply magically. They decide to share the mochi with all the Magical Girls to celebrate the New Year and their reconciliation.
• During a training camp with her friends, Asuka behaves unusually, tripping over nothing and seeming distracted. When her friends grow concerned, she confesses she is anxious about an upcoming family gathering after New Year's where she will see her young cousins. She recalls a blunder from the previous New Year's when she panicked over having only one sweet for two cousins and ran out to buy more, only to learn the baby could not eat solids yet, which made her relatives laugh at her scatterbrained nature. Determined to redeem herself this year, Asuka wants to show dignity as a reliable older cousin and give her cousins New Year's money to feel like an adult, just as her older cousin once did for her, but she lacks the funds. Emiri suggests a plan and introduces her to a part-time job opportunity.
• The next day, Asuka begins working at Chikukoubou, a lunch box shop run by Riko's family, where she is joined by Maria and Sae. She immediately makes a mistake by tidying up and nearly throwing away sticky notes that identify customer orders, but Maria and Sae cover for her by recovering the order forms and instruct her to stall for time if reservation customers arrive. Asuka faces several customers while stalling, mistakenly calling Tsukasa by her Tsukuyo's name and using her scatterbrained reputation to buy time. She later serves Kanagi but forgets to give her change and then forgets to hand over the lunch itself, chasing after her to deliver it.
  • After these incidents, Asuka becomes discouraged, comparing herself unfavorably to everyone else who seems perfect and reliable. When Maria asks about her motivation, Asuka shares the story of her older cousin, who secretly gave her otoshidama as a high school student and took her to buy a toy she wanted, bypassing her mother who saved all her money. This memory drives her desire to become a reliable adult like him. Moved by her story, Maria and Sae commit to helping her seriously, and Sae teaches Asuka a method to reduce mistakes: take a deep breath, calm down, confirm, and reconfirm before acting. Asuka practices this with customers and finds it helpful, though the constant tension exhausts her.
  • Maria then encourages Asuka to observe the people around her more calmly. Asuka notices Sae muttering angrily about a rude customer, Maria panicking over a spider, Kanagi admitting she ordered the wrong number of lunches, Mifuyu forgetting her wallet, and Mikage throwing a tantrum in public. She also realizes that Moka Megumi's overly formal speech was a result of nervousness while practicing errands, and that even Riko, despite her maturity, fell asleep like a normal child. Asuka concludes that no one is as perfect as she imagined, including her idealized memories of her cousin.
• The day before the family gathering, Asuka prepares the otoshidama envelopes. She checks repeatedly, confident she has changed.
• On the day of the gathering, Asuka arrives at her parents' home and smoothly handles serving sweets. When her aunt and cousins arrive, Asuka presents the otoshidama envelopes, but her older cousin opens one immediately and finds nothing inside. Asuka panics, then takes a deep breath and realizes she removed the bills the night before for a final check and forgot to put them back. She rushes to retrieve them while her young cousins burst into laughter at her flustered state. Though embarrassed, Asuka accepts it and resolves to grow even more, determined to become truly reliable this year.

  • Himena returns to her own house, where her mother offers her ozouni, insisting the family recipe never changes. Himena realizes her family will not accept her or Hiko, so she makes an "unwritten rule" with her mother to not speak of Hiko. She resolves to endure and make her wish come true on her own.
  • Himena meets with the other Neo-Magius members, declaring their goal is to turn their terrible luck around this year.

From Beyond, To You

• Reira, Seika, and Mito learn the Daito Apartment Complex is scheduled for demolition. They join the opposition movement led by Otake, helping with flyers. Seika is privately skeptical.
• Days pass with no progress. Reira grows restless, and Seika suggests that if the Complex had more value, redevelopment might be reconsidered. Reira proposes finding something valuable hidden within.
• The next day, they go to the library to research the Complex's history. They learn about old festivals, and Reira decides to revive the Summer Festival.
• Reira recruits Kanagi, Mitama, and Mikage to help. They plan the Daito Cafe, get approval from adults, and begin preparations. Weeks pass.
• The first Summer Festival arrives. Magical girls from across Kamihama attend, Reira performs, and the festival is a great success.
• One month later, the second Monthly Festival is held. Various magical girls host booths. Reira reveals a new theme: a treasure hunt based on an old handscroll given by an elderly resident.
• Another month passes. The third Monthly Festival centers on the treasure hunt. They follow clues, find a broken container, and Seika grows suspicious. Otake explains the handscrolls were a game created by him and his late friend. Reira continues, and they discover real artifacts buried around the Complex, temporarily halting the redevelopment project.
  • The head of the opposition movement (Otake) asks the girls to clean out the apartment of a recently deceased, solitary old man. While cleaning, they find a magical diary belonging to a girl named Atsuko, a Magical Girl from the past.
  • Mito and Reira want to investigate Atsuko's story, while Seika is reluctant. They follow clues from the diary to locations where Atsuko sealed her memories.
  • They learn Atsuko and her two friends, Kazuyo and Tamie, fought a powerful Witch but failed to defeat it, instead sealing it away in Lake Tono.
  • Tensions rise between Seika and Reira as Seika admits she believes the opposition movement is pointless. Due to the fight, they separate.
  • Mito confides in Kanagi about the fight. Kanagi advises against using her magic to fix it and asks Mito to help investigate the sealed Witch.
  • Seika feels remorseful and decides to apologize. She finds a newspaper article confirming the existence of Atsuko, her friends, and the Witch. Realizing the danger, she rushes to find them.
  • Seika meets Mito and Kanagi. Kanagi reveals a theory that Atsuko's memories are stored in physical vessels. They find a new memory showing a fourth, hostile Magical Girl (the Saboteur) attacking Atsuko's group.
  • Meanwhile, Reira, alone and remorseful, re-examines a memory and deduces the final sealed location is Lake Tono. She goes there, touches a bronze fish statue, and is possessed by an unknown force.
  • Seika, Mito, and Kanagi realize Reira is missing and use Mito's magic to locate her at Lake Tono. They teleport there and see the possessed Reira use her flames to break the seal, releasing the Witch.
  • The Witch's Labyrinth appears. The trio reconcile and defeat the Witch together.
• Over the next few days, the investigation into Atsuko's fate stalls. The girls are then informed that the redevelopment plans have been cancelled. A new company, Waki Real Estate, has bought the complex and will renovate it.
  • They meet the CEO, Mr. Waki, who reveals he is Tamie's father. He shows them a photograph he received after his daughter's disappearance.
  • The photograph contains Atsuko's final memory, revealing that the Saboteur killed Kazuyo and captured Tamie. Atsuko vowed to hunt the Saboteur and entrusted future Magical Girls with protecting the Daito Apartments.
  • At Mitama's shop, Kanagi reports the events to Mitama. Mitama expresses deep concern that the Magia Record is becoming unstable and asks Kanagi to enter it to investigate for the sake of Iroha and Ui.

Conveying a Little "Thank You"

• On Valentine's Day, Yachiyo and Iroha host a chocolate party at Yachiyo's apartment with Momoko's group and all their friends. Everyone samples the various homemade chocolates and enjoys a board game tournament while Yachiyo watches them contentedly.
  • As Yachiyo observes everyone having fun, she thinks about how Iroha and Ui will soon need to return temporarily to the Magia Record for maintenance. Though the separation is only temporary, the thought of possibly never seeing them again frightens her. She realizes this fear applies to all the magical girls gathered here, as their lives are unpredictable and they cannot always be together. She wants to cherish these precious moments.
  • Iroha approaches and offers Yachiyo her spot in the next game, feeling self-conscious about her lack of skill. Yachiyo insists Iroha stay, explaining that every player has their role in making the game enjoyable. She then brings up the Magia Record, telling Iroha to ask for help if needed. Iroha gratefully agrees and gives Yachiyo a large chocolate as thanks for everything. Yachiyo thanks her and silently wishes for many more peaceful days like this with Iroha and everyone in the years to come.

Alina's Atelier Part 1

• Nemu and Touka discuss the instability of the Automatic Purification System, which has led to concerns about Magical Girls potentially becoming witches again. They deliberate on whether or not to inform others about this issue. Meanwhile, Alina has been tasked by Nemu and Touka to paint "portraits of Magical Girls as Witches." By channeling Magical Girls' magic into her cubes and gathering curses, Alina creates paintings that reveal visions of their Witch forms. For Alina, the beauty lies in how Magical Girls confront and live with these revelations. She decides to turn this process into a business, offering portraits for free but requiring the participants to share their inner struggles.
• Alina makes a series of portraits:
  • Ren, who recalls her renewed hope from friends like Rika and Emiri, but upon seeing her potential Witch form, resolves to never give in to despair and to continue protecting others.
  • Emiri, who regrets her impulsive contract and feeling stagnant, deciding to redefine herself and surpass her former idol.
  • Hinano, who recognizes her complex about her small stature and remains determined to expand her field of study.
  • Shizuku, who contemplates her emptiness and longing for belonging, choosing to cherish the memories of lost loved ones.
  • Sasara, who admits her motivation was to emulate her father's heroics and now aims to inspire through kindness beyond mere heroics.
  • Natsuki, who reflects on abandoning baseball and thanks Alina for helping her confront her hidden desires and move forward with renewed purpose.

Alina's Atelier Part 2

• Nemu and Touka debate whether or not to inform Ui and Iroha about the malfunctioning Doppel Barrier, however, Ui and Iroha overhear them and offer support in dealing with the situation. Nemu suggests making the collection of impurities a natural law of the universe as a solution, but it would mean Ui and Iroha will cease to exist again. Despite this, they reassure them not to worry and resolve to notify their families and other Magical Girls about the situation.
• Alina continues painting her Factor of Despair portraits:
  • Rena, who learned to accept herself with the help of her friends and resolves to show her gratitude through her actions.
  • Momoko, who struggled with her self-image but vows to remain steadfast, crediting her resilience to a hopeful outlook on the future.
  • Kaede, who committed to overcoming her fears and catching up to her friends after impulsively becoming a Magical Girl.
  • Kako, who grew stronger with the help of her friends after a feeling of powerlessness and is reminded by her Witch portrait to face challenges in her own way.
  • Meiyui, who does not regret her wish's consequences, believing it prevented greater violence and allowed her to meet her team.
  • Nanaka, who reaffirms her resolve to continue fighting to restore her family’s legacy, despite feeling trapped by her contract.
  • Konomi, who realized her wish was truly to preserve her happy present and found a new mission in bringing joy to others through flowers.

~Current Status with Big Sister~

• Nemu acknowledges there is no stopping Iroha from leaving Kamihama and disappearing from the universe. Touka states they are all together as one, so it cannot be helped, noting that Ui and Iroha are already prepared. Iroha explains the Automatic Purification System was a gamble and this is necessary to return it to a stable state. Ui also confirms they are okay with it. Nemu apologizes for the trouble, and Touka expresses sorrow for always burdening Iroha with difficult roles. Iroha reassures them it is no trouble at all.
  • Nemu points out that Touka has always been trouble, especially. Touka objects, and they begin to bicker about falsifying the past, with Nemu threatening to give an example, such as when she refused to eat carrots in the hospital.
  • Touka reflects at the moment when all the happy times with their big sister ended, beginning the long road of hardships that led them to now. Ui asks if they are really okay with this. Touka asks Iroha the same. Iroha states she has made up her mind. Touka and Nemu pledge to support her forever. As a final request, Touka asks that when everything comes to an end, they play Old Maid together.
  • Iroha bids farewell to Kuroe, asking her to stay kind and remember her someday when she becomes a distant memory.

~For a Fun Evening~

• The weekend arrives for the planned sleepover at Mikazuki Villa. Yachiyo reveals she proposed the idea after talking with Iroha, and the group eagerly agrees. Tsuruno asks about Ui, and Iroha explains she is busy with Touka and Nemu and cannot join. Tsuruno then suggests inviting more people and leaves to scout for newcomers.
  • Tsuruno encounters Kanagi and Kagome in the city and invites them. They accept and arrive at the villa. Tsuruno surprises everyone by bringing a large amount of food from her family's restaurant. The group eats, with Kanagi showing unusual enthusiasm for the food, praising its potential rather than its current flavor.
  • After eating, Kanagi suggests playing poker, explaining her recent fascination from working at a casino-style event. She teaches the rules, and the group plays using ohajiki as chips. Despite Kanagi's research and confidence, Sana consistently wins, much to everyone's surprise.
  • To cool off, they shift to snacks and conversation. Kagome begins telling a scary story, and Kanagi joins in, escalating the tension until Yachiyo stops them. Tsuruno then initiates singing to lighten the mood, and the group joins in.
  • Late into the night, Felicia, Tsuruno, and Sana fall asleep. Kanagi observes that Iroha looked momentarily sad during the fun and asks if something weighs on her mind. Kagome, connecting this to the unstable Automatic Purification System and Iroha's past disappearances, asks directly if Iroha plans to disappear again.
  • Iroha confirms Kagome is not mistaken. She reveals there is a chance she may never come back this time, though she promises to explain fully when the time is right. Kanagi and Kagome are visibly shaken by the news. They step outside to talk further without waking the others, and Yachiyo, who has been listening, reflects that the time to part with Iroha is already near.

Alina's Atelier Part 3

• Alina continues to paint "portraits of despair" for Magical Girls, asking only that they share their inner struggles as payment. She finds it increasingly difficult to paint and senses time is running out.
  • Nemu and Touka visit, concerned about her inability to create new Witch portraits, but Alina insists on continuing her work.
• Alina paints various portraits:
  • Mifuyu, who resolves to atone for her past by guiding younger Magical Girls.
  • Touka, who reflects on her lonely childhood and vows to protect peace across the universe.
  • Alina herself sees her own Witch portrait for the first time and finds it ridiculous. Nemu reveals that this form was always behind her when her Doppel emerged. Ultimately, Alina accepts this and reaffirms her desire to create art in solitude, pursuing her own aesthetic ideals.
  • Nemu, who recalls her life in a hospital and plans to assist other Magical Girls to ease the burdens on her friends.
  • Manaka, who rediscovers her passion for cooking and dedicates herself to surpassing her father's legacy.
  • Tsumugi, who, after realizing Manaka's impermanence, begins documenting her friend's culinary dedication herself.
• Alina can no longer create her Witch portraits, attributing it to the Automatic Purification System. Touka and Nemu tell her they are going to depart for the Magia Record permanently to make Magical Girl Records, but after they leave, Alina vows to become part of the Magia Record herself.

~Recounting from Pictures~

• Kagome visits Tasuke's laboratory at his invitation. Lavi lets her in and mentions she is baking a strawberry shortcake at Nayuta's request, using strawberries from a friend. Lavi offers Kagome a slice.
  • Tasuke arrives and proposes they enjoy the cake with his prized tea while he shows Kagome something: a drawing by Alina Gray from when she was hospitalized. He explains he obtained the drawing through a former nurse from Satomi Medical Center who was in charge of Karin. He then asked Karin directly, and she allowed him to borrow it.
  • The drawing depicts Magical Girls. Karin identified the subject of one drawing as Iroha. Alina drew dozens of Magical Girls in a single sitting, using Karin's stories and her own memories, before growing bored and stopping. All the drawings are on the back of Karin's unpublished 4-koma manga, "Everyday Karin."
  • Inspired, Kagome shares a new idea: instead of only collecting stories, she wants to create a picture book or fable using Alina's drawings to communicate Magical Girls' experiences more broadly. She plans to ask Sana for help. Tasuke supports the idea but notes the drawings are difficult to identify. Kagome reveals she can sense who each drawing depicts, describing scenes that come to mind.
  • She identifies drawings of Touka, Nemu, and Ui from their hospital days, bickering in a way that feels familiar to her.
  • She identifies a drawing of Nanaka's group engaged in a friendly, peaceful game of shiritori.
  • Next is a drawing of Himena tricking Yuna, Shizuka, Lavi, and Livia into attempting an "Infinite Mega Special Parfait" challenge at a cafe.
  • She then comes to a drawing of Iroha. Kagome imagines Iroha with Yachiyo, Tsuruno, Felicia, Sana, Momoko, Rena, Kaede, Kanagi, and Mitama. In her mind, she sees the group sharing a meal together, followed by an emotional farewell where Iroha departs for the Magia Record. Yachiyo reassures everyone they will always remain connected despite the distance. The scene ends with Iroha and Yachiyo affirming they will always be together.

Last Bird's Hope

• Kuroe defeats a Witch on a train, but she continues to patrol and fight Witches, reflecting on her loneliness since Iroha's disappearance.
  • Nearby, Nagisa wanders alone, grappling with her separation from the Law of Cycles, when Yu suddenly finds her. Though Nagisa initially mistakes her for a Witch and questions her monstrous appearance, Yu declares them friends and Nagisa reluctantly agrees to accompany her, intrigued by the connection to the increased number of Charlotte Witches.
  • As they travel, Yu explains her "job" is eliminating bad guys from a list provided by someone named Shi, which includes both Witches and people. Nagisa witnesses Yu kill someone and realizes the work is real. When Nagisa questions the morality of killing innocents if the list is wrong, Yu admits she double-checks but says eliminating them is still good for Shi.
  • Yu cannot remember her wish, and Nagisa realizes she cannot remember hers either. A picture book pages intercut the scene, hinting at Yu's tragic past. Nagisa analyzes Yu's disjointed emotions, unnatural lack of negativity, and refusal to connect to the future, concluding she is circling a huge emptiness.
  • They fight a Witch together, and Nagisa witnesses Yu regenerate a torn-off arm without magic. Nagisa concludes Yu might be a Frayed End, a malignant factor leading to disaster, and acknowledges that her own interference in space-time triggered Yu's existence. Despite recognizing Yu as a victim, Nagisa resolves to eliminate her.
  • As Nagisa prepares to strike, Yu's magic unconsciously affects her, trapping her in a hospital memory where her mother is scolded. Yu appears and stabs Nagisa's mother. A voice, Kei's ghost, demands Nagisa kill Yu, insisting the story has already ended. Nagisa refuses, declaring she is going to the future.
  • Nagisa awakens confused, muttering about Kei as she struggles with fragmented memories. Yu wanders nearby, aimlessly questioning where she was supposed to go.
  • Nearby, Kuroe investigates an area with a rise in crime rate, suspecting a Witch's involvement. She encounters a fleeing man and a Witch at a station, but the Witch escapes. She then meets the Magical Girl Nagisa, who warns her to stay away and claims to have defeated the Witch.
  • While patrolling, Kuroe meets Yu, who is searching for a "bad guy" named "John." They agree to search for him separately and on her search, Kuroe senses a Doppel and returns to find Nagisa's Doppel running wild. As it fades, multiple Charlotte Witches appear. Kuroe and Nagisa prepare to fight, but Nagisa is too exhausted. Suddenly, Kuro, whom Kuroe once saved, appears and tries to help but is quickly overwhelmed as well.
  • Yu arrives to the scene in her Magical Girl form and easily defeats the Witches. She reveals she is hunting the man they'd encountered, "John," because he is on her list of bad people. Yu explains she kills bad people to stop them from appearing in the nightmares of someone important to her.
  • Nagisa tries to confront Yu but collapses, and, despite John's remorse and desire to turn himself in, Yu kills him. Kuroe, horrified and confused, also loses consciousness. She has a dream where a voice - Kei's - tells her to kill Yu before her identity is erased.

• Kuroe wakes up in an abandoned orphanage with Yu and a girl named Shi. Yu explains she brought Kuroe there because Shi can help with her problems. While Yu goes out to give them space, Shi tries to counsel Kuroe about her grief for Iroha, but Kuroe rejects her advice, as Iroha gave her hope as a Magical Girl.
  • Shi explains her own power, born from her mother's wish, which forces her to experience the suffering of others in her nightmares. She explains that in her past, she was used by an organization for her powers until Yu began killing the people from her nightmares, which made the dreams stop. Now, after Yu has killed the organization staff, Shi provides her with a list of bad people from her nightmares to guide her killings.
  • Nagisa and Kuro attack Yu and throw her into the orphanage trough a window where Kuroe and Shi are. Nagisa tries to remind Yu of her past and of Kei, but her attempts are unsuccessful and Shi gets angry at Nagisa.
  • The confrontation is interrupted when a group of criminals arrives, seeking revenge for their comrades Yu killed. Yu bushes off their gunshots and proceeds to kill all of them, after which Nagisa tries to kill Yu as well. The violence and conflicting ideologies overwhelm Kuroe, and she's caught in the crossfire, causing her Doppel to emerge and swallow her.
  • Kuroe is trapped within her own Doppel, consumed by self-doubt and the belief that she is unworthy of being a Magical Girl. Kuro is also pulled inside while trying to save her. A manifestation of Iroha appears to Kuroe, using Kuro's body to manifest and encouraging her to move forward.
  • Kuroe accepts herself and, with Iroha's help, defeats the manifestation of her despair, which takes the form of her Witch. Kuroe says a final goodbye to Iroha, promising her that she will carry her vision to the future.
  • Meanwhile, after separating from the group, Shi is approached by Kyubey once more, and this time she decides to make a contract and becomes a Magical Girl, wishing to also understand their hopes as well as their pain. She first synchronizes with Kyubey, learning of Doppels and the details about her mother's wish.
  • Yu finds her and Shi uses her new magic to synchronize with Yu as well, and discovers it is completely hollow, with no real emotions or love for Shi. Devastated that Yu's kindness could have never been truly genuine, Shi breaks her Soul Gem and kills her.
  • When Nagisa finds her, Shi uses her magic to sync with Nagisa, sharing all the knowledge between the two instantly. She learns the truth about the Frayed, other universes, and the Law of Cycles. She declares that she will become a "spokesperson for the unheard" and continue to kill, but for the sake of the victims in her dreams and Yu's memory.
  • Shi unleashes her Doppel and escapes with Yu's body, vowing to remain in "yesterday." Nagisa is left behind as she yells that she will tell the plice about Shi's actions.
  • Kuroe and Kuro wake up outside the Doppel, where they meet up with Nagisa. She reports that Shi became a Magical Girl, but lies to them that she wished for the power to rehabilitate criminals. Nagisa also insists that she alone will keep watch over her and Yu, which the two seem to accept.
  • Nagisa parts ways with them and Kuroe reflects on her experience, vowing to continue living as herself, even if she is imperfect.
• A rumor about a being called the Nighthawk starts circulating.
• Shi has a series of odd dreams.
  • Shi confronts two men in a back alley, declaring herself a Magical Girl who punishes evil. After striking one, the other rambles nonsensically about the nature of evil before Yu appears. Shi "wakes" in her dark room, actually another layer of her dream, and is disturbed that this dream had villains but no clear victims, unlike her usual nightmares. She considers becoming a Magical Girl to change her life but hesitates, remembering she already refused Kyubey's contract. Still, she searches for him, wanting to talk again.
  • Shi searches alleyways for Kyubey but finds Yu instead, who says she was working, killing bad people. Yu asks about Shi's dreams, and Shi explains her ability: she experiences others' pain and suffering in her dreams as if it were her own, a power inherited from her Magical Girl mother. She tried to contract with Kyubey to erase this power but could not, hesitant to become like her mother. Yu reminds Shi of their arrangement: Yu kills the bad people from Shi's dreams, making those nightmares stop and giving Shi's suffering meaning. Shi worries she is using her, but Yu insists Shi is special because her dreams let her truly understand victims. Shi admits she is afraid of losing her ability to understand others, and Yu suggests she is making excuses to keep her nightmares because ending them would mean forgetting the victims. Shi reflects that her love for Yu is the only proof her feelings are still her own, since she dreams of Yu attacking others yet still loves her. Yu tells Shi to look at herself, and Shi realizes she is already a Magical Girl, though she does not remember her wish or her magic.
  • In another dream, Shi and Yu confront the same two men, but after the fight, the young man breaks the fourth wall, questioning the story's logic. Yu discusses plot ideas, suggesting the evil organization gave Shi nightmares and killed her parents. Confused, Shi "wakes" again and wishes her life could be like this dream. When Kyubey appears, she searches for him once more.
  • In another dream, Shi finds Yu again, who pressures her to write names on a list, insisting the dreams need meaning. Yu rambles about narrative contradictions until Shi transforms involuntarily. She questions if Yu is real, and the figure claiming to be Yu admits she is not a mirror and vanishes.
  • Shi "wakes" on a train at sunset. There, Kei thanks her for bringing Yu back but says that if she were alive, she would have killed Shi two thousand times. Kei calls Shi a Sleepwalking Ghost and tells her she can keep Yu's empty shell.
  • In reality, that night, Shi delivers three dead bodies to a taxidermist Yu knew. The taxidermist who offers free services in Yu's memory and invites her to stay and talk about Yu. Shi agrees and the taxidermist prepares and stuffs Yu's corpse.
• A few weeks later, by the ocean, Shi sits down with Yu's body and speaks to it, reflecting on how Magical Girls become trapped in the past, unable to move forward, wondering if that makes them ghosts. She explains she now understands both victims and perpetrators in her dreams and will become a Sleepwalking Ghost like Yu, continuing to eliminate the enemies in her dreams. She states she returned what was inside Yu, but Yu was hollow anyway, so nothing has changed. She decides she will simply become Yu now.

Trivia

• As preparing a dead body to take outside through taxidermy takes time, the ending of Last Bird's Hope, which consists of Shi's Side Story, could only take place a few weeks after the other parts of the event. As Shi could use her magic to stop the body from decay, and retroactively heal and "freshen it up," the taxidermist doesn't have to worry about the body going through autolysis, bacterial growth, or maintain the body's pliability. However, even with this in mind, the process would still take a few weeks, as the body would need to be eviscerated, an armature would need to be measured, constructed and assembled into the body. The body would then need to be filled and shaped around the armature, and the incisions would also need to be repaired.
