Ultimate Madoka is the final form of Madoka Kaname. She is created when Madoka makes her wish with Kyubey. Her wish created a new world where no Magical Girls turned into Witches. She did this by erasing the darkness from each girl's Soul Gem throughout history before taking the Soul Gem itself.
Ultimate Madoka also appears in Magia Record and other games as a playable unit. Additionally, she makes an appearance in Wraith Arc and Rebellion.

Design
Ultimate Madoka has long, generally straight pink hair with some drawn into two pigtails on her head, both of which are tied with a white ribbon. She wears a flowing white dress which exposes a small portion of her chest/stomach area. The undersides of the dress and sleeves show a cosmos-design. Her wings are light pink/yellow. She has light pink boots that reach the top of her knees and wears white gloves. The bow she uses is very similar to her pre-ascension version.
Powers and Abilities
Ultimate Madoka is seen in Episode 12 and Rebellion absorbing the grief of Magical Girls and taking their spirits to what may be a magical girl heaven that she created. Her wish, according to Kyubey, gave her the power of a god. She used her power to launch vessels of herself, which take forms of Madoka Kaname's base Magical Girl outfit, all through the past, present and future to save Magical Girls from their grief and prevent them from becoming Witches. As such, because of Madoka, all Witches were destroyed (or rather, never existed at all) and replaced with Wraiths.
Kyubey can be seen lamenting that the system is very inefficient in Rebellion, which leads them to set the events of the movie in motion by trapping Homura and forcing her witchification. This leads Ultimate Madoka to be trapped in Homulilly's barrier. This means Ultimate Madoka is either not all-powerful or not all-knowing, as she was tricked by Kyubey and trapped by Homura.
Appearances
In the Main Series
Ultimate Madoka's first and last appearance in the original 2011 anime is in Episode 12, which is the episode where Madoka contracts with Kyubey and becomes the salvation of all Magical Girls. While not seen for long, she is seen saving Magical Girls throughout history from their despair before taking their soul gems away. These include characters who seem to be Cleopatra, Queen Himiko, Joan of Arc, a girl with a head scarf, a girl with a Jewish star on a train, a Dakini princess, a girl in a savanna, a girl with a bear costume, a girl in a volcano, a girl wearing a Viking garb and a girl in a sailor uniform (manga only). All of these characters are saved by Madoka (or, at least, implied).
In Wraith Arc, Madoka saves Sayaka. Later, Homura discovers that Ultimate Madoka's power is not all-encompassing, as a witch (implied to be Kriemhild Gretchen) still lives inside Homura's shield. Homura breaks her shield, releasing the witch, and the witch merges with a Wraith to become the Spindle Witch.
Additionally, in Rebellion, Madoka unsuccessfully attempts to save Homura. In Rebellion it is revealed that Madoka has retainers, or assistants. Both of them make an appearance in Rebellion. The first one to be seen is Sayaka Miki, and the other is Nagisa Momoe. They are shown helping Madoka. In Rebellion, it is revealed that both of them initially knew of Kyubey's trap, but were trapped themselves when they entered the barrier, losing their memories. Sayaka returns as a member of the Holy Quintet and Nagisa turns into Bebe.
Because of Madoka's failure to save Homura, she inadvertently allowed Devil Homura for be created by Homura.
In the Concept Movie
- In the Concept Movie, Ultimate Madoka is referred to. However, she is only called "The Goddess". This scene talks about how "The Goddess" has none of what the two characters (Madoka and Homura) are talking about. Their dual speech is below.

"A Magical Girl from Mitakihara City who obtained the Ultimate Power for Iroha-chan. She's still the same as usual, but now that she has the Ultimate Power, she's proud to be invincible. In fact, she's equipped with a variety of anti-witch weapons, which cost a tremendous amount of money. Very expensive." - Ultimate Madoka-senpai
