Events

  • Day 1 - Tuesday, the 16th: Mabayu wakes up screaming from a nightmare and later visits Homura in the hospital.
  • Day 15 - Tuesday, the 30th: Once more, Mabayu gets Sayaka to work at the café.
  • Day 16 - Wednesday, the 31st: Like in the last loop, Kyousuke breaks down and laments his inability to play the violin to Sayaka. After Sayaka notices Kyubey, Mabayu approaches Sayaka in the hospital corridor. She grabs her hand and telepathically tells Homura to freeze time. Sayaka learns that Mabayu is a Magical Girl and admits she intended to use her wish for Kyosuke. Mabayu asks if Kyosuke's anger hurt Sayaka and takes the opportunity to cut the memory of Kyousuke's harsh words from Sayaka's mind. Time resumes, and Mabayu cheerfully bids farewell. Confused, Sayaka visits Kyousuke, apologizes for being distracted, and promises to visit again before leaving.
    • On the rooftop, Mabayu meets Homura, who has already dealt with Kyubey. They confirm that with that memory erased, Sayaka won't need to make a wish.
  • Day 17 - Thursday, the 1st: Sayaka asks Kyosuke how he's feeling in his hospital room and he apologizes for hitting her the previous day. Sayaka reassures him and is confident Kyosuke will stand again. He is doubtful, but Sayaka promises to support him and he thanks her.
  • Day 25 - Friday, the 9th: Homura, feeling numb from the loops, encounters a Familiar luring a lost child. Madoka, running an errand, also arrives. To save the child, Homura is forced to use her magic in front of Madoka, who becomes suspicious. They rescue the child and leave her with the police.
  • Day 26 - Saturday, the 10th: Madoka thanks Homura for saving her and tries to befriend her. Fearing she will draw Madoka closer to the world of Magical Girls, Homura coldly rejects her. Later, Homura learns that the rescued child's reunion caused a fatal car accident, killing four people. She is shaken, realizing her intervention created a new tragedy.
  • Day 32 - Friday, the 16th: Sayaka and Kyosuke sit in silence as the news announces an evacuation order due to abnormal weather. Kyosuke refuses to leave, but eventually agrees to go to the shelter and Sayaka helps him. About to face Walpurgisnacht, Mabayu reads the future and warns Homura that they will fail.
    • As they attack, Madoka meets Kyubey, who reveals the storm is caused by a Witch and that her classmates are fighting it. Madoka leaves to help them and watches the battle from a distance. Homura calls out to her, but Madoka decides to change the future. Kyubey and Homura watch as Madoka transforms and defeats Walpurgisnacht in one shot. Kyubey notes that Madoka is now the strongest Magical Girl but will soon become the world's strongest Witch. He estimates it will take her 10 days to destroy the planet. Homura walks away and when he asks if she won't fight Madoka, Homura resets time.
