Processes grief, memory, and the "immune memory" of the past.
Integrated Organ Systems:
External, specialized organs that connect to and enhance the core organism's capabilities, allowing it to enhance its function.
Liver - Touka
Hypothalamus & Pituitary Gland
The metabolic conversion and recycling plant. With 100% efficiency, she breaks down impurities into pure, usable magic.
Bone Marrow: Nemu
Cerebral Cortex (Broca's & Wernicke's Areas)
The production factory. She creates physical forms, such as the Uwasa bodies and the Records.
Skin - The Eternal Sakura
Thalamus
The protective boundary and sensory organ. It encases the system and serves as its interface with the world.
DNA - The Magical Girl Records
Long-Term Potentiation
The genetic code. These records are the system's fundamental identity and memory.
Pathogens:
External and internal threats that the organism must defend against, overcome, or integrate to ensure its survival and health.
Conquered Viral Pathogen / Vaccine: The Mirror Witch (Mikoto Sena)
A virus that, after being defeated, is integrated like a vaccine or a disabled virus, providing the organism with the tools, or "antibodies," to connect time and space.
Metastatic Cancer: 10^−43
Its sole purpose is mindless, exponential growth (proliferation), which seeks to consume the host organism and replace all healthy tissue (other Magical Girls across time) with itself.
Autoimmune Disease: The Will of the Universe
A fundamental part of the body's own rules (the universe's laws) that mistakenly identifies parts of itself (Magical Girls) as foreign pathogens and attacks them.
Random Thought: "I" vs Me
In Magia Record episode 15 when Mitama talks about Doppels, one of the slides says "The me who is not 'I'." Additionally, with the white-dressed Homura in Wraith Arc being labeled as "I" in Magia Exedra, it makes me think the Me is the darkness/Doppel in the soul, while the "I" is the magic. Soon we'll run out of first-person pronouns. Plus with Episode 25's Ui monologue about Monadism, I think there's something to it. The Yin-Yang and all. Though she calls the entirety as "Us."
Random Thought: Connecting Madoka to Buddhism and the Samsara
If we view the different beings and forces in Madoka Magica, we can attribute them to the realms of Samsara. I won't go into how I did this, but I will go from the highest realm to the lowest, in addition to Buddhahood, Pure Lands, etc.
Deva Realm: Wraiths and the Will of the Universe. Originally the force which governed the universe, working against Magical Girls' overgrowth. After Madoka's ascension, their antibodies became the Wraiths, who exist to maintain the balance of the universe.
Asura Realm: Magical Girls. Jealous and ambitious gods fighting against each other and the others. They're divine but not the highest in the order of the universe. The Homo magica is their ambition taken to the extreme.
Human Realm: Ordinary humans and other beings. Emotions in their raw, unprocessed form that fuel the entire system, themselves ignorant of magic.
Animal Realm: Familiars and Magical Constructs. Instinctual beings born from another's magic. This also includes things like Yuuri's bull summon, Cole, and the Uwasa.
Preta Realm: Witches. Hungry ghosts with an endless appetite.
Naraka Realm: Incubators. With their lack of emotions, them ruling the universe before Madoka's ascension makes sense as to why it is so bad. After Madoka's and separately Iroha's ascensions, their position is lowered, and then it becomes truly hell-like after Homura's own ascension. It may be commentary on how Rebellion isn't a happy ending because a Magical Girl ideal's love wouldn't want the suffering of even those most deserving of it.
Surpassing the Samsara, we have ascended beings who become Buddhas, presiding over their Pure Lands. Nirvana is the state of non-suffering and besides the Samsara, there's four noble types, but everyone can be free of suffering in many ways.
The four noble types, which usually just lead into the next one, are:
Sravaka - Self-liberation, limited compassion, passes into final nirvana.
Pratyekabuddha - Self-awakened, but does not teach widely.
Bodhisattva - Universal compassion and free. Often they self-sacrifice to ensure others reach enlightenment before them and they don't get stuck.
Buddha - Perfect wisdom, compassion for all and true "godhood."
These could easily fit with many of the protagonists, especially at the end of their journey like Matsuri, or Iroha at the end of the anime.
Several beings have reached Buddhahood, and can thus be equivalated to actual Buddhas.
Ultimate Madoka - Amitabha Buddha
The Amitabha Buddha's purpose is to end suffering. By doing his prayer, practicioners will be born into his Pure Land in the next life, the Western Pure Land of Sukhavati. In the same way, the Law of Cycles saves all Magical Girls within her reach indiscriminately. Her emissaries are directly working as Boddhisattvas. It is likely that she has traits or functions of other Buddhas too, such as the classic "Normal" Buddha, or the Sakyamuni, the Siddhartha Gautama who turns the wheel of Dharma, but that Buddha notably lacks a Pure Land of his own.
Infinite Iroha - the Medicine Buddha, Bhaisajyaguru
While Ultimate Madoka ends suffering, Infinite Iroha makes it more tolerable and survivable. After their death, she compiles them as Records, and in life, she cures the fatal sickness of the Soul Gem. Her realm, the Magia Record, or the Automatic Purification System, connects to the Pure Land of Lapis Lazuli of the Medicine Buddha, the Vaiduryanirbhasa. The Kimochi Stones being her source of power, and they themselves being gems, is an extra connection. It is likely that she has traits or functions of other Buddhas too, but a lot of them don't have a set modus operandi.
Devil Homura - Mara and Yama
It is unknown how Homura's world works, but if we assume the Law of Cycles no longer has access to the world's Magical Girls, she is like Mara. Mara is not a Buddha, but a King of the Sixth Heaven, or the Demon King, the highest realm of the Samsara. Devil Homura rules the world and refuses salvation, just like how Mara openly opposes the Buddha and keeps other beings away from elightenment.
Yama is the King of Hell, responsible for punishing the people in Hell or Naraka. She has escalated the Incubators' suffering way more than them having to work overtime in the worlds with Wraiths and Doppels.
I personally believe the Law of Cycles still somewhat works, so she is more akin to Yama than anything else.
Other Potential Buddhas or Noble Types
Mikoto Sena and Winchester - the Mirror Buddha. She is the Buddha that only witnesses suffering. The Wisdom of the Great Mirror, or Aksobhya, witnesses suffering and by becoming part of Infinite Iroha, it can be argued that she is two Buddhas. The Mirror connection was incidental.
Potential Buddha that embraces Witches. Making them reach a state like Doppel Syndrome or Doppel Version. The Transformation Buddha that turns poison into medicine as the fuel for enlightenment, the Vajrasattva or the Vajradhara. If we stretch it, 10-43 may be this as she overtook the Doppel Sytem temporarily.
The Walking-Beside Buddha, or the Ksitigarbha (Jizo), who is actually a Boddhisattva, who has chosen to walk forever with those suffering. The closest connection to this would be Historia Yachiyo, even though the form is temporary.
The domain of Avalokitesvara, or better known as Quanyin or Kannon, the Bodhisattva of Compassion, who hears the cries of the world and manifests with a thousand arms, each with an eye in the palm, to reach every sufferer exactly where they are. This could translate into an "extra life" mechanic on the brink of defeat. Like a limited Ultimate Madoka.
Other options like:
Manjusri (Monju), the Bodhisattva of Wisdom who wields a flaming sword that cuts through delusion and reveals the true nature of reality.
Samantabhadra (Fugen), the Bodhisattva of Practice who rides a white elephant and performs the work of the Dharma.
When the Dharma is forgotten and suffering seems absolute, the knowledge that a future Buddha will arise is itself a form of salvation. This is Maitreya, the Buddha of the Future who dwells in the Tusita Heaven, waiting to be born into a world that needs him utterly. This may potentially be Namae.
Mahakala or wrathful deities who are the Buddha's righteous fury against what harms beings.
Random Thought: Assigning a Planet to a Kimochi
Based on the fact that there's 8 of them, and that there's mostly blue ones, we may be able to assign one planet per Kimochi. Additionally, Symbols displays planets as it grows, and with each mission, we get a Kimochi Stone.
By that logic, we start out with:
Sapphire
Ruby
Heliodor
Turquoise
Pearl
Opal
Diamond
Garnet
Symbols starts out with:
Mars
Mercury
Jupiter
Venus
Saturn
Sun
Moon
According to the order in Puella Historia:
Pearl
Ruby
Sapphire
Opal
Turquoise
Garnet
Heliodor
Diamond
So they don't really fit. However, if we go by looks and further refining:
Torte is the curious, energetic, and kind-hearted daughter of the alchemists Nicholas and Pernelle Flamel. Born after the death of Jeanne d'Arc (Tart), she was named in her honor and bears a striking resemblance to her. Torte is deeply fascinated by the legend of "La Pucelle" and wishes to learn everything about her. Using her parents' magic, she enters the "Ark of Feelings," a space where memories of Tart are preserved as books. There, she encounters Kagome Satori, who was pulled from the future Kamihama City, and together they embark on a journey through the memories of those who knew Tart.
Throughout the event, Torte discovers she can restore the fading memories of Tart in others simply by making eye contact due to their resemblances. Throughout the different memories in the Ark, she witnesses the pain of those left behind and the catastrophic consequences of a world where Tart never existed. She ultimately decides to contract with Cube and wishes for Tart's feelings and legacy to never be forgotten and to be passed down correctly through history. This wish itself creates the loop that ensures Tart's legend endures and restoring history to its proper course.
Her powers as a Magical Girl are unknown, however her resemblance to Tart allowed her to restore the lost memories of Jeanne d'Arc in those who once knew her by looking into their eyes.
As the daughter of two powerful alchemists, Torte is also proficient in using the various magical tools from her parents' workshop, such as stones that allow translation and the creation of protective magic circles.
Etymology
Jeanne is a French name meaning "God is gracious". Her surname, Flamel, is a French surname meaning "fire".
Her nickname, Torte (トルテ), is derived from Tart (タルト), which is in itself a variant for the name of Jeanne d'Arc.
Trivia
Torte is a completely original character created for Magia Record and is not based on any historical figure associated with the Flamels.
The Doppel of cowardice. Its form is arms of iron. The master of this emotion fears solitude. After being one-sidedly beaten down by those around her, she was left in a world of helpless isolation. There was nothing to do but sit there in a state of melancholy. The only way to escape was to take the opposing position– to obtain enough strength to hit back anything the world could throw at her. This Doppel is undoubtedly a manifestation of that strength, but atop its hands sits its master’s deeply-held fear of reverting to her previous solitude.
The Doppel of safeguarding. Its form is a fortress. The master of this emotion resists others’ attempts to trespass in private matters such as her hobbies and interests. Her Doppel is covered by a sturdy outer shell, and serves as a private space for its master that shuts out surrounding information and forcibly creates distance with the outside. Should any external nuisances appear, its master can snipe and eliminate them via the mechanism affixed to its top. The Doppel itself, however, is equally resistant to outside meddling. Should anyone attempt to speak with it or touch it, it will try to calm itself down by thrashing around in a panic until its target has been reduced to smithereens. When this happens, the master inside apparently gets shaken to the point of utter exhaustion.
The Doppel of faith. Its form is kawaii. The master of this emotion loves kawaii culture and takes extreme pleasure in promoting it. Her face turns to pure delight when she gazes at this image of herself. This Doppel understands fully its master's desire to spread her interests, so it strives to implant a fondness for manga, anime, yumekawa, and gurokawa in others. If it encounters someone less kawaii than its master, it releases rainbow beams from its six eyes, enveloping them in a plethora of ribbons and lace, altering their hobbies and tastes. Its victims are said to then bow down to it in reverence.
The Doppel of natural states. Its form is a bag of laughs. The master of this emotion keeps her former, mild-mannered self hidden away in her heart. Whenever this constantly-laughing Doppel encounters something inconvenient to it, it accumulates stress within its body. It then converts this stress into laughter, with which it blows away anything it doesn’t want to see. Since it’s constantly laughing no matter which direction it looks, its sources of stress must truly be myriad. Perhaps it’s put in a bad mood by everything it sees. If it were to decide that the entire world should be laughed to smithereens, it’d be quite dangerous, but its master sleeps peacefully inside the bag as if none of it has anything to do with her.
The Doppel of masochism. Its form is a moon-cawing crow. The master of this emotion rushes about in a wild, mad frenzy, and loses her mind with joy… As the physical manifestation of such unbecoming tastes, this Doppel takes the form of a crow that caws in enjoyment of the moonlit night. An aberrantly-shaped being that strikes dread in the hearts of all who see it, born from the final throes of manic revelry. Those who confront this Doppel are sure to feel terror from the very bottom of their hearts. But this is no ordinary fear– as the sort of fear that can be engendered only by those who live their lives on Death’s door, those who taste it will have their sense of self destroyed, and eventually be led to insanity.
The Doppel of skepticism. Its form is a vulture. From the moment that the master of this emotion was born, she has been forced into a life of servitude to the Pharaohs. But upon realizing that other ways of life exist, she was wracked with conflict. This Doppel continually emits fluctuations in response to that conflict, and creates doubt in the hearts of those around it as it propagates the fluctuations with its wingbeats. These doubts quickly balloon into various opposing poles– joy and sorrow, hope and resignation, veneration and contempt– thus calling forth further chaos. As this chaos reaches its breaking point and overflows, it drags everything down with it into transience and uncertainty.
The Doppel of temptation. Its form is serpent berries. While the master of this emotion feels an affinity for her Doppel, which behaves as it pleases without any concept of good or evil, she also feels her own immaturity emanating from it. This Doppel speaks directly into one’s brain via ultrasonic tones, giving affirmation to anything and everything. The confidence and courage it grants are enough to wipe away any concern one may have. Its comfortable words lead people to develop a great dependence on them, but because it well-meaningly affirms even people’s aggressive or malicious emotions ad infinitum, it may unintentionally guide its targets towards the worst possible actions.
The Doppel of tumult. Its form is an eyelid. The master of this emotion falls into a deep sleep while this Doppel is present, and is therefore unable to witness what it experiences. While its master is sleeping, it paints over all inconveniences with muddy tears that flow from its vacant stare. This duplicate will surely awaken when it requires the power to crush reality.
The Doppel of mixture. Its form is butter. The master of this emotion falls into a deep sleep when this Doppel appears, and doesn’t lay eyes upon any of the manufacturing methods that it learns. While its master is asleep, her Doppel sprays cow’s milk from its vacant eye onto a bed of rock salt, and vigorously mixes it. The resulting butter adds a dash of saltiness and rich flavor to any dish, and pairs best with baked potato. If you haven’t been having much luck making buttered potato at home, perhaps it’s because you’re using unsalted butter?
The Doppel of refutation. Its form is a pet. The master of this emotion learned to control others using a borrowed power. In time this act morphed into a form of desire, and this is the embodiment of that twisted state. It is a freakish kind of vengeance brought upon by a past of suffering at the hands of others, a reversed and bloated projection of the self. There is not an ounce of guilt in it, only pure madness. This Doppel binds those it faces in numerous leashes and crushes them with its gargantuan hands as it trembles in endless ecstasy.
The Doppel of tsundra. Its form is a weight crab. The master of this emotion cannot clearly distinguish the subject of her feelings, conducting herself in an awkard, thorny manner. This Doppel expresses its emotions in a similarly severe way: it takes the many stationery supplies that its master carries to compensate for her fading sense of presence, and turns them into weapons by increasing their weight by several hundred kilograms. In contrast to its master, this Doppel can only vaguely distinguish its original form as an Oddity. Even if the subject of its master’s dormant feelings happened to be surprisingly close by, the Doppel would probably use their weight as nothing more than a simple paperweight to hold its own identity together.
The Doppel of closed circuits. Its form is the mortal world. The master of this emotion loops through time in an endless cycle of trial-and-error. Master and Doppel fuse together, her skin becomes glass, and her expression freezes into that of a doll. She launches volley after volley of attacks that only end when her target falls silent. In this way she is more like a Witch than other Magical Girls. Not only can she can manipulate the sands of time, but she can pluck information of low importance from the alien lifeforms on her hat and create anything around the level of an earthly weapon by solidifying the sand.
The Doppel of karma. Its form is a treasure ship. The master of this emotion thinks of the lost splendor she left behind during the old year. The seven bodies carried by the treasure ship are the remnants of the emotions the master tried to detach at the start of the New Year, but their expressions are painted over by the regret she harbors, making it impossible to read the original emotions. This doppel crushes the enemy when the master cannot bear the weight of her regrets and throws out the entire treasure ship. The more dazzling the first sunrise is, the heavier the master's regrets become, so the seven of them wear glasses so as not to be blinded by the dawn light of the New Year.
The Doppel of Karma. Its form is the mortal world. The master of this emotion visits many worlds in search of an exit, spinning giant threads of fate. Fourteen incomplete bodies born from emotion trail behind the master's body, which has almost completely transformed into glass. In order to achieve their mission, these 14 bodies work methodically and tirelessly to remove obstacles. Regardless of their master's will, they weave the threads of fate, which become tangled in ever more complex patterns, driving her yet further into a maze, the exit of which can hardly be found. These bodies of emotion have no names.
The Doppel of attention-gathering. Its form is a wind-up doll. The master of this emotion views wanting other people to smile and being desired as the same thing in some small way. Her Doppel frantically smashes its cymbals together, and anchors shoot toward the eyes of those whose attention the cymbals gather. Those cursed by the sound are then chased down by the anchors until their eyeballs are taken from them. If this Doppel is used often, the user will feel anxious unless someone is watching them at all times.
The Doppel of dominion. Its form is La Reine’s Twilight. The master of this emotion seeks dominion and influence ad infinitum, for as long as she exists. The curses scattered by this Doppel are themselves a death-bringing darkness to all other humans, and if bathed in these curses, those without a resistance to them will instantly vanish from existence. The joy its master derives from this sight is synonymous with purification to her. The more her surroundings are stained with despair and darkness, the brighter her Soul Gem’s rhapsodic light shines.
The Doppel of resonance. Its form is a hummingbird. The master of this emotion is fond of her Doppel's body, which reverberates well. The Doppel aligns the pitch of its singing voice to resonate with any physical object until it shatters. It is also likely to use its voice to oscillate the brains of organisms, then use high frequency sound waves to vibrate its beak, with which it pierces the hearts of its victims with great precision.
The Doppel of dismantlement. Its form is a soot lion. The master of this motion patiently waits for her sorrow to be relieved by the destruction that her Doppel bestows. In order to build a fair and equitable paradise in accordance with its master’s will, the Doppel attempts to destroy everything, while simultaneously playing a requiem not unlike an anguished wail. However, its actions only amount to mere dismantlement. Though it can reduce everything around it to smithereens, only hollow cadavers are left behind. And because the Doppel itself doesn’t realize this, it will continue reducing its surroundings to smithereens for as long as equality fails to manifest– thus, it simply rampages until its strength gives out.
The Doppel of dismantlement. Its form is a hearth lion. The master of this emotion continually wanders in search of the answer to her mourning. In order to help its master find that answer, this Doppel takes the feelings towards death that are held by visitors lured in by Halloween merriment, and finely dismantles said feelings before serving them to its master. Breaking them down into small pieces makes them no easier to swallow, however, so its master is likely to get indigestion, and continue to distance herself from the answer. When the Doppel tires of dismantlement, it secretly uses the tip of its scythe to carve jack-o’-lanterns and so forth outside of its master’s view.
The Doppel of torn seams. Its form is a thread-cutter. The master of this emotion loathes her Doppel, which wields the exact opposite ability to her own. Her Doppel is able to loosen the seams of anything it touches. Once it uses a tiny bit of magic to open up a small tear, it can widen that tear to destroy any object, or even any concept– a truly fearsome power to display. However, this Doppel only seems interested in destroying its master’s own creations. It exclusively targets and ruins things she’s already worked to stitch together. Additionally, this Doppel boasts abnormally strong self-replication abilities despite its low supply of magic, and in comparison to the magic that it retains via its overwhelming conservation of energy, its body is extremely large.
The Doppel of famine. Its form is a dark cook. The master of this Doppel is much more particular about food than most. It wants to feed on anything within reach, and it does not care whether it eats Magical Girls or Witches. It is a chef born of the desire to eat itself, a Doppel of gluttony that devours all and returns it to nothingness. It has several plates prepared on its table at all times. Should you find yourself at its table on the battlefield, be careful you are not part of the meal…
The Doppel of enticement. Its form is needles. The master of this emotion has vowed absolute loyalty to her savior. It penetrates enemy and master alike with sharp needles, sewing the fate of all things tight. This act represents its extreme devotion, such that it offers up everything, including its life to its benefactor, while symbolizing the perilousness of its dependence upon the other, which it cannot maintain its identity without. The sharper the needles are, the more the stitches there are, and the harder it becomes to extricate oneself from it. However, this merely serves as an expression of the master's desire.
The Doppel of escape. Its form is a nighthawk. Though the master of this emotion lamented her past and stopped in place once already, she has now found a light to follow, and doesn’t stop trying to spread her wings and fly. As her Doppel continually sheds tears, it attempts to put its master at ease by limiting her movements with wings of heavy mud. It denies her attempts to both seek and soar in the sky, while constantly emphasizing the exact opposite path to her. Though it utilizes its wings to attack those who oppose its master, each and every swing is meant to indicate to its master that she can never reach the light, no matter what she does. After being completely eaten away by this Doppel, the only choice one has is to become a black star that stands motionless on the Earth’s surface.
The Doppel of escape. Its form is a nighthawk. The master of this emotion runs to and fro, continually searching for a "fun summer vacation" that's fitting for her. Her ever-indecisive state of mind takes shape as this Doppel, with many fresh fruits incorporated into its form. In much the same way that the void in its master’s heart remains unfilled by any of the summers she experiences, the incongruous residue of those countless summers floats within the Doppel. Their sugar content skyrockets in correspondence with how much she was looking forward to them. The frankly-exhausted Doppel tearfully attempts to convince its master to give up on finding a fun summer, but if she still insists on continuing her search, it's considering teaching her a helpful lesson about her limitations by drowning her with its oceanic wings.
The Doppel of salivation. Its form is a moth. The master of this emotion floats through dreams between sleeping and waking, yet continues to seek the light of the sun. This Doppel’s circular form symbolizes the very same sun that its master seeks, and it floats through the air in the hopes of brightly illuminating its vicinity. But despite scattering powder from its wings to illuminate its surroundings, each mote of dust only emits the faint light of a distant star, and cannot emit anything stronger than that. The unsatisfied Doppel attempts to make the powder shine brighter by firing its own rays of light, but the erratically-reflected light builds up excess energy, explodes, and catches its surroundings in the blast. Yet the Doppel is satisfied to see such a bright light, even if only for a brief instant.
The Doppel of suffering. Its form is a happy statue. The master of this emotion shares in all the pain of the ones she loves and takes it on as her own. The pain then takes the shape of jewels, which decorate the Doppel and add to its power. However, as the Doppel cannot move, it cannot avoid attacks, and though it carries a sword and shield, they are there for decorative purposes only.
“My, have you heard? Who’d you hear it from? The Rumor of the Substitute Street! A long one-way road, they say, where this girl and that girl met one day! Their eyes met: ‘Hello! How do you do?’ And then they parted: ‘So long, farewell.’ And from that day onward… this girl became that, and that girl became this! Once you switch places, what’s real becomes fake!

Fan Translation: “Somewhere, there’s a great grassy field big enough for everyone to run around, and a great big cherry tree for everyone to sit and watch the flowers under.

When she senses a desire to meet someone, she’ll peek out from her digital world, but since she can’t tell who ‘that girl’ is, she’ll kidnap any random soul she sees! They’ll get sent back eventually, but the whole time until then, she broadcasts her lonely anxiety to them in a scaaaary dream! How tough! How tragic! How totally out of hand! ‘The girl she wants to meet again’ doesn’t actually exist, and ‘her feelings of wanting to meet her again’ can’t be fulfilled… so the whole thing’s just going nowhere fast! It’s a rumor that EVERYONE in Kamihama is talking about. What a buzzy broadcast!”
"Have you heard? Has anyone told you? The Rumor of the Miniature Dollhouse. A package delivered anonymously! Those unfortunate enough to be present when it's opened enter a fictional world! The price? An important connection! There is only one rule in this world, the Dreamer's dreamworld! Perfect for escaping reality! Yes, there's just one catch! If the Dreamer loses to herself, everyone remains trapped there! All the Shinsei Ward Magical Girls are talking about it. Run forever!"

Their strained relationship is evident as Toyo struggles to connect with Himiko, her mother, despite Himiko's efforts to bond. Toyo attempts to bridge the gap by giving Himiko a poorly chosen gift of cicada shells, which confuses her. Momoko suggests finding a dog as a better gift. Toyo uses her Spirit Arts to locate a strange creature she names Slurpy, insisting it’s a dog. Himiko initially refuses to let Toyo keep Slurpy, fearing it’s dangerous, but reluctantly agrees after Toyo pleads and promises to be responsible. She grows attached to Slurpy, momentarily forgetting her goal of improving her relationship with Himiko.

Part 3: Toyo’s health worsens, and she struggles to perform daily tasks, feeling guilty for burdening her friends and Slurpy. Himiko decides Slurpy must be sent away, believing dogs carry a curse that harms Toyo. Despite protests, Toyo agrees, thinking it’s best for Slurpy. They share a final playful run, though Toyo struggles to keep up. She urges Slurpy to forget her and live happily, but he refuses to leave. After parting, Toyo reflects on their memories together.

Part 1: Oriko enters a dreamlike state, reflecting on her dependency and weakness, which she has always denied. In this dream, Oriko finds herself in a perfect life where her father is still alive, and she is admired by her classmates for her perfection. Despite this, she feels an emptiness inside. She sees Yuma Chitose running through her school but cannot recognize her, and later encounters a dark silhouette of Kirika that transforms into a mysterious book. Oriko is haunted by this book, which she eventually realizes is her father’s diary. Her dream shifts to memories of her mother’s death and her father’s subsequent suicide, which she had suppressed. In the dream, her father accuses her of being the reason for his despair, claiming he took his life to escape her. Oriko is confronted by her Doppel, who takes on the forms of her father, Yuma, Kirika, and the girls she and Kirika harmed. She torments Oriko with her sins, accusing her of ruining lives under the guise of salvation. Oriko is forced to confront her selfishness and the harm she caused, including manipulating Yuma into contracting and using Kirika as a pawn. Her Doppel insists that Oriko’s only path is to die and atone for her sins.

Kirika’s love and protection become the chains that tie her to the real world. Oriko rejects the Doppel’s demand for her death, declaring that she wants to live to protect Kirika, her world. She acknowledges her weakness and dependence on Kirika, admitting that she had fooled herself into believing Kirika was just a pawn.

Part 1 - The Normalcy I Want: Mikoto reflects on reviving Hanna and escaping with her to a world where they can be together without interference. Despite their need for magic and the looming threat of discovery by others, Mikoto cherishes their time together, hoping it lasts until Christmas. Living in an apartment complex similar to the one Mikoto lived in, she and Hanna settle down briefly. Mikoto prepares meals, but struggles with finding work due to her age and circumstances. Mikoto secures a job at a café resembling one she used to visit with Hanna, imagining a peaceful life there. However, the reality of working is more hectic than expected, but Hanna’s support boosts Mikoto's spirits, making the hard work worthwhile. With Hanna's help, the café thrives, leading to unexpected kindness from the master who lets them leave early. Enjoying their newfound freedom, Mikoto and Hanna indulge in simple pleasures like eating crepes, feeling immense happiness as they anticipate spending Christmas together. Mikoto feels her past hardships were worth enduring for these moments of joy.
Part 2 - Happiness Spills Out of My Hands: Mikoto finally gets what she's always wanted but is overwhelmed by the happiness. She transfers malice from Hanna into her own Rumor, causing some of her memories to fade. Mikoto attempts to clear up misunderstandings in town after serial attacks occur, but people treat them as suspects due to coincidences. Despite this, Mikoto believes in the possibility of normalcy until Hanna decides they should leave the town and start anew elsewhere. Hanna and Mikoto find and confront the mastermind behind the crimes. With no evidence, Hanna declares they don't need it, urging the master to confess to the police while ensuring their anonymity remains intact. They decide to move on despite clearing Mikoto's name. Another incident occurs, revealing there was another perpetrator besides the one they caught, the café owner, who had deliberately placed blame against Mikoto and Hanna. As tensions rise and the police chase them, Hanna and Mikoto escape but reflect on their struggles with society’s rejection. Hanna suggests destroying everything that causes Mikoto pain and they both agree to start over again.
Part 3 - Sparkling: Mikoto and Hanna plan to execute the "Let's Ruin Everything Plan" by planting bombs around town to erase unpleasant memories. Mikoto, however, expresses concern about harming others but ultimately decides to share Hanna’s burdens. While preparing the bombs, Mikoto reflects on her inability to lead a normal life and how making a mess of everything gives her a sense of control. Despite their destructive actions, they enjoy the process as if preparing for a school festival. As they set up the bombs, Mikoto reminisces about her painful past and lonely existence, wishing for all bad memories to disappear. However, she realizes she doesn't want to lose the good memories with Hanna, leading to hesitation when it comes time to detonate the bombs. Hanna reveals that the bombs are fake and had secretly fixed a merry-go-round instead, aiming to create beautiful memories for Mikoto. Moved by Hanna’s efforts, Mikoto acknowledges Hanna as her hope and source of happiness, vowing to stay together. After leaving the town and ensuring people forget about them, Mikoto and Hanna plant snowdrop seeds to symbolize their journey. Mikoto expresses gratitude for meeting Hanna, emphasizing that her presence makes her want to keep living even in a difficult world, asking Hanna not to leave her behind again.
Part 1 - The More We Talk: Nagisa reflects on the paradox of freedom after separating from the "Law of Cycles," finding it both liberating and overwhelming. While she contemplates, Yu, in her magical girl form, appears and Nagisa initially mistakes her for a witch. Nagisa is intrigued by her odd nature and decides to accompany her and learn more about her.
Part 2 - The More We Cross: As Nagisa continues observing and talking to Yu, she questions whether Yu might be used by someone named Shi to kill people on a list. Yu reveals to her that her simplistic view of good and evil stems from her wish to become a magical girl, though she cannot recall what that wish was. Nagisa senses something unnatural in Yu's emotional state, realizing that her magic lacks negative emotions and seems disconnected from the future. This leads Nagisa to conclude that Yu might be a “Frayed End,” a malignant factor that will lead to a disastrous future.
Part 3 - The More We Erode: Nagisa resolves to eliminate Yu, believing it to be her destiny, but hesitates when faced with the reality of killing someone who shows no hostility or malice. During an attempt to catch Yu off guard, Nagisa finds herself transported back to a memory involving her mother in a hospital setting. Afterwards, she finds herself in a black void, where the ghost of Kei urges her to kill Yu, saying that her story has already ended. Nagisa rejects her order and asserts her decision to move forward and reclaim her future. Nagisa breaks out of the void and finds that Yu has gone missing.
Episode 1: Shi has a dream of interrupting a shady transaction in an alley as a magical girl. Shi transforms and fights the criminals, but the young man Shi confronts starts speaking in riddles about evil, questioning what it means and who defines it. Shi reflects on her purpose and realizes that tormenting others is evil. Waking from the dream, Shi realizes she isn't actually a magical girl but has been dreaming about it. She debates whether becoming one could change her life, especially after encountering Kyubey, who offered a contract to become a magical girl. Shi searches for Kyubey, contemplating if making a contract will bring change to her painful existence.
Episode 2: In a dark building, Yu tells Shi she's been killing the bad people from Shi’s dreams. Shi shares that for the first time, no one suffered in her dream and that this method worked. Shi reveals her nightmares stem from an ability granted by her mother's wish when she became a magical girl. This power lets her experience others' pain, which she tried to erase through a contract but couldn’t due to hesitation. Yu questions why Shi hasn’t wished away her nightmares, but Shi admits her fears about losing her empathy if she erases her ability. Yu insists Shi is unique because of her dreams, capable of understanding victims better than judges. Shi struggles with equating personal convenience with justice and wonders if she's merely making excuses. Shi has a dream of Yu encouraging her to wake up and embrace her role as a magical girl. Shi transforms, though unsure of her wish or powers.
Episode 3: In her dream, Shi decides her mission is to vanquish evil, believing her nightmares were caused by villains. With Yu’s support, she attacks suspected wrongdoers in an alley, easily defeating them. During the fight, Shi faces confusion as Yu suddenly claims Shi's parents were killed by an evil organization and suggests the man they're fighting is Shi’s real father. This leads to more absurd dialogue about story settings and target audiences until Shi's dream shifts to her waking up inside the dream. She reflects on how becoming a magical girl might preserve her ideal everyday life, only to realize she already transformed. Searching for Kyubey, Shi questions her identity and transformations. Meeting Yu again, she loses clarity on reality and her memories. Yu pushes Shi to look inward, suggesting she isn't truly herself anymore. The layout changes to a train where Shi is with Kei's ghost. Kei confronts Shi and tells her that she can have Yu's body, as Kei could finally take Yu herself. In reality, Shi takes Yu's body to get it stuffed from one of Yu's contacts, an old woman taxidermist to whom Yu sold the organs of the people she'd killed. Shi brings her the corpses of new people Shi has killed and the two reminisce about Yu. Later, Shi takes Yu's body near the sea and reveals to her that she will become the new Sleepwalking Ghost. Shi says that Yu isn't too different from what she was previously, as she was empty the whole time on the inside too.

Ghosts
Formation: Ghosts are the lingering spirits of the deceased. Ghosts of Magical Girls can arise from two scenarios:
Soul Gem Destruction: If a Magical Girl’s Soul Gem is shattered (like Kanae), she becomes a ghost.
Witch Transformation: If a magical girl becomes a Witch (like Mel), her consciousness can be preserved as a ghost if another ghost (e.g., Kanae) captures her thoughts and feelings before her soul fully dissipates.
Ghosts retain their memories and personalities from life, though some (like Mel) may initially forget details. They exist in a separate plane from the living but can observe the living world without normally communicating with the living.
Under normal circumstances, they can weakly manipulate inanimate objects (e.g., rattling a plate) but cannot directly speak or intervene. Only individuals sensitive to spirits (e.g., psychics) might perceive them.
Ghosts can manifest objects in their world by imagining their appearance, sound, and taste. This is how the ghost café and other ghostly environments exist.
Ghost Licenses:
Ghosts operate under rules enforced by a "license" system. If a ghost interferes too much with the living (e.g., trying to communicate with Yachiyo), their license is suspended, barring them from further interaction.
There are ghost cafés, which work as social hubs where deceased Magical Girls gather, share stories, and create objects.
Unlike girls whose Soul Gem broke, girls who became Witches have their ghostly form preserved only if another Magical Girl's ghost saves their fading consciousness. In such cases, their Witch’s defeat would finally allow their soul to rest.
Ghosts can also project emotions onto keepsakes (e.g., Mel’s fortune log, Kanae’s lyrics), allowing the living to sense their presence or receive messages.
Unlike magical girls normal human ghosts seem to be born from violent deaths (e.g., drowning, suicide) or intense emotional bonds (e.g., Kei and Yu’s obsessive relationship).
The ghost of the drowned Chinese Magical Girl that becomes Paola merges with Kei’s spirit to manifest.
Kei herself appears as a featureless shadow with a seaweed stench, unable to interact physically unless possessing someone.
Some ghosts can possess living humans if the target is emotionally vulnerable or the ghost’s will is strong, such as when Kei possessed Madoka, a Magical Girl. Homura herself resists possession due to her time-looping trauma.
When merged with Witches, ghosts can create pocket dimensions akin to Witch Barriers, appearing as black abysses where time is frozen.
Kei herself is also accompanied by the scent of the sea where she died.
Ghosts also invade dreams to share memories.
Ghosts themselves can choose to move on, but some choose to linger, such as Kei fading only after Yu herself dies.
Ui's Soul Transferal: The first Uwasa Nemu created. After Ui, Touka and Nemu made their wishes, Ui's collection left her on the verge of becoming a Witch at any moment. Nemu manifested a story to take Ui's soul out of her body, as a Witch cannot be created without their human personality and emotions. Touka pointed out that without a vessel to put it in, Ui's soul will dissipate, so Nemu decides to use Lil' Kyubey as the vessel, since Kyubeys naturally have no emotion or personality of their own. While the transferal caused all traces and memories of Ui to be erased, this Uwasa itself wasn't the one to cause this. This Uwasa didn't seem to have a physical form, but rather the process itself was the Uwasa.
A series of minor Uwasa that Yachiyo and Iroha defeat in Chapter 7, as well as rumors of unknown status mentioned in Mitama's office in Magia Record Episode 4. None of them make a physical appearance in the story.
Fireman's Mound: An Uwasa that appears at a firefighters’ memorial grave site. Anyone who speaks badly of the departed will be attacked by a spooky hand that will try to drag them underground. However, the hand will vanish if you reassure it that “Thanks to you, the town is safe.” It was defeated by Iroha and Yachiyo. This Rumor seems to be based off the real-life Hanako-san, a Japanese urban legend about the spirit of a young girl named Hanako who haunts lavatories.
Headless Bike Gang: An Uwasa that appears as an unseen biker gang that causes violence when no-one’s looking. Anyone who sees them will be forced to join their ranks. Whether this Uwasa is multiple entities under the same Rumor, or simply one Uwasa alongside the people it kidnapped, is unknown. This Uwasa was defeated by Iroha and Yachiyo.
Puzzle Tile Lock: An Uwasa that appears when someone rotates the manholes in town. When they are lined up properly, it’ll create a path to the city government’s hidden safe. However, the path is apparently booby-trapped. It was defeated by Iroha and Yachiyo.
Underground Empire: Another rumor which included manhole covers. Momoko Togame mentions it in Mitama's office, describing a rumor of an expanding underground empire under a certain manhole, but whether it was an actual Uwasa, or a normal rumor, is unknown.
Fashion Monster: An Uwasa defeated by Iroha and Yachiyo. It appears before confident, dressed up girls and drags its victims into an alley. If the Rumor isn’t told it looks stylish, it will strip off the victim’s clothes.
Glimpse of the Future: In Mitama's office, Kaede Akino mentions of a rumor where one can catch a glimpse of their future on the TV at 4:44:44 am. It is unknown if this is an Uwasa, or just a normal rumor, but in real-life this is an urban legend of sorts, referenced in many games and other media.
Event Uwasa
These Uwasa appear in the Events of Magia Record, as well as Magia Exedra.
These rumors don't describe actual Uwasa, but rather they describe things, or entities which already exist, as these were likely not created by Nemu herself.
