==Summary==
A magical girl who is working to create a world without Witches. Nemu started writing stories just trying to seek some approval. It wasn't until she posted those same stories online that she become known as a literary genius. Her dream is to wrap the world in her stories...literally.

===Doppel Description===
The Doppel of Dying Wishes. Its form is a deathwatch beetle. The master of this emotion will sacrifice everything she has. This terrifying Doppel uses both of its bug-headed hands to devour the stories of the world. It can then use its ridiculous power to materialize these stories into the real world. It is said its power comes from its weakening master, and that as she gets weaker, the Doppel get stronger. However since it uses all of its power to materialize the stories it eats it doesn't pack a physical punch, some even believe it wouldn't stand a chance against a direct hit from a Witch.

|style="padding:10px; background:#fff;"|
Nemu and [[Touka Satomi|Touka]] discuss the growth of Eve while inside her barrier. While she has developed considerably since the Magius have put their plans into action, [[Alina Gray|Alina]] fears that her barrier abilities might not keep Eve hidden from public eye for much longer. Furthermore, the impurities present within the barrier is making every Magius member inside sick, so [[Mifuyu Azusa|Mifuyu]] suggests they leave for now.

Outside, the Wings of Magius' members mention other problems; Mifuyu notes the increasing difficulty of managing every feather with their growing numbers, leading to cases of miscommunication; They need to act before a rebellion eventually rises. Touka mentions their struggle with creating and managing multiple bases scattered across Kamihama, but Nemu suggests another idea; Instead of recruiting more leaders, they'll create a single, large enough base to greet every single member of the Magius within. While Touka says it's impossible despite her having secured housing for Mifuyu, Nemu states that she'll create a large castle. Touka briefly questions Nemu's means, but quickly guesses she'll do so with a Rumor.

Mifuyu asks if such a project is possible, and Nemu replies one story won't be enough to maintain such a giant structure and that she will have to keep writing sequel after sequel in order to maintain the castle's essence. The other Magius begin suggesting their own ideas for the castle's contents, such as a studio (by Alina), a laboratory (by Touka), and a bathhouse (by Mifuyu). Nemu retorts by having them ask themselves if such places will truly be coherent with their plans. Touka decides returning the question to Nemu, asking her what kind of rooms would be best in a castle, but Nemu has no idea.

Nemu comes back home. Her mother and brother arrive shortly after. The former apologizes to Nemu for taking so long, but Nemu replies it's no big deal. Nemu then begins helping her mother out with preparing dinner. Nemu's mother and brother begin talking about the latter's school day during dinner, and Nemu's brother asks his mother if she'll come to the school festival to see some of his yo-yo tricks. Nemu also offers her attendance, which earns her a reluctant nod from him. After that, Nemu's brother asks for help with his homework, and his mother suggests him he asks Nemu, since she believes she's smarter than her mother is, but the brother refuses. The mother insists she's exhausted and still has to wash the dishes, but Nemu decides to wash them in her stead while she helps the brother with his homework.

Back in her bedroom, she thinks once more about the Magius' suggestions for the contents of the base, and how dealing with them is difficult as they mean no harm. She gets surprised at her own reaction, however.

The following day, Mifuyu asks Touka if they should think of a name for the base. [[Tsukuyo Amane|Tsukuyo]] remembers the proverb 'names and natures do often agree', and convinces everyone to think about a name together. Mifuyu suggests "Hope's Hearth", but she is shot down by Alina and Touka and told it sounds like an old lady's idea. Tsukuyo berates Mifuyu as well, and goes for her own suggestion: "The Magius Land of Love and Hope", but Alina says that's equally lame. [[Tsukasa Amane|Tsukasa]] decides to 'avenge' her sister and suggests "The Feathers' Respite - A Taste of Love and Hope", but Alina rips her a new one as well. Nemu suggests that Alina stops there since she's already 'won the fight'.

Mifuyu asks what Alina has thought of, and she replies with "Studio Little Hope". Nemu likes the name, finding it elegant. Mifuyu then asks Touka what she thought of, and she replies with "The Hope Observatory". The rest of the Magius then turn to Nemu to hear her own suggestion, and she offers "Fendt Hope". Everyone draws out a different meaning from the name, and from this Mifuyu concludes that this name is adequate, as it will mean something different for whoever hears it. Everyone agrees for this to be the future base's name, but Nemu suddenly reveals that she's already created the Uwasa for it before they could discuss the name.

Everyone is upset, but Nemu states that she feared the witches that they gathered would be discovered, and acted quickly to prevent that eventuality. Mifuyu apologizes for her hasty conclusions, but Nemu tells her not to worry. The Amane sisters complain that they didn't have to come up with a name to begin with. Nemu apologizes for upsetting them, but states that she was interested in hearing their opinions, and that she was glad everyone agreed on the keyword "hope". Nemu reassures them afterwards that she'll check in with all of them first before making additions to the base. She says that for now, only the underground chapel exists, but she can add to it by writing the sequels she mentioned the previous day. Everyone is delighted at the fact their own suggestions will come to fruition one day, but Touka fears they'll just stray away from their initial objective.

Nemu is prompted again what kind of base she wanted, as they never got an answer from her the previous day. She thinks that so long everyone is here with her, saying her name, then she doesn't mind what kind of base it is, as it will feel like a home anyways. However, she wants the place to be dedicated to their activities. She eventually replies that she wants neither company nor school, and that she wants it to be a place with her friends, which can also serve as a battleground where they are the employees and the witches they raise are their customers. She finally settles on the concept of a hotel, and fully dubs the base "Hotel Fendt Hope".

A brief flashback shows Nemu congratulating a White Feather for her impeccable service and bestowing her various gifts, such as one of her books. Back in the present, she ponders about her current progress, but a sudden jolt of pain makes her flinch. It's revealed that the pain is due to her having used some of her life energy to create the Misery Water Rumor. Despite the progress the Magius have made, she still feels empty inside.

She ponders this emptiness, and emits several hypotheses, but none of them prove entirely satisfactory. She concludes that she does not feel conscious remorse over her own actions, but rather a personal problem. She ponders about the cost of her wish, the massive amount of energy required to put their plan to fruition. She ponders a magical girl's responsibility, as a blissfully ignorant Puella Magi would be like someone who signed a contract without reading it. With that conclusion, she dismisses her emptiness and believes it has no such place when she is working towards the liberation of magical girls.

She watches as people go on with their daily life, and laments their ignorance. Suddenly, she is contacted by the same White Feather she congratulated the other day. The latter claims that she is struggling with a witch and would like Nemu's assistance, to which the latter agrees on. She laments the state of the world again before heading off.

Nemu meets up with a Black Feather at the scheduled location. Nemu does not sense any particular energy signature, and the Black Feather notes that the witch has moved. While being escorted to the location, alongside another Black Feather, Nemu asks them if they felt empty, out of pure curiosity, and reassures them that she will not evaluate them based on their reply. The Black Feathers reply that when they realized the burden of their wish, their eventual fate, and the fact that they cannot go back, that they had given up on fighting completely. After crying, screaming about it, all that remained was nothing. However, Nemu thinks that she is not the same as them.

They find the witch, and sense the White Feather fighting inside. The Black Feathers comment how the witch is outside of Kamihama, but Nemu reassures them that she can handle it without much of a problem. Once inside of the barrier, Nemu meets up with the struggling White Feather, and asks her to stand back while she deals with the witch herself, but the Feather refuses. Nemu insists, reminding her that she became part of the Magius so she could be saved and that she should value her life more, but the White Feather replies that losing Nemu would mean losing one of their leaders. Nemu eventually complies, but still asks the White Feather to be careful.

The witch is defeated, and the Black Feathers praise Nemu for her hard work. Nemu offers them the grief seed, but the feathers get doubtful as they haven't even done anything in the first place. Nemu explains that this is repayment due to the White Feather having unfortunately lost her life in the battle.

Nemu thinks again about the late White Feather's words. She mulls over how she lost her life, but how none of the world knows of this. If a Magical Girl saves someone, no one will ever notice. As countless people pass by her without noticing her, she finally understands what this emptiness is due to: No one is here to acknowledge their achivements as Magical Girls, or what they're even doing in the first place.

The next part is a flashback of Nemu, Touka and [[Ui Tamaki|Ui]]'s hospitalization. They watch as Nemu's newly published story dramatically rises up in views. While Touka mentions that specific tools such as keyword selection, social media and search engine use helps bolster a work's visibility, but they are meaningless in the face of work quality. Ui sums this up by saying that Nemu's work must be loved by many people if she gets that many reads and so many positive comments. Ui talks with Nemu about her new story projects, and she says that she might do a mystery novel set in the same world as her previously finished romance novel's. She will use elements such as urban legends to add value to the story. Ui thinks it's scary, but that the fans will love it.

Touka informs that they received an e-mail, but Nemu doesn't remember publishing her e-mail adress. Touka reveals that she did that on her own accord, which infuriates Nemu. Touka explains that they might draw in more reviews by sharing her e-mail and receiving messages, and that as the admin, she can do whatever she wants. Ui notes that this one e-mail is from a publisher, and that they want to talk to her. Ui is delighted, as this could mean the beginning of Nemu's career as an author. However, Nemu asks they ignore that mail, having no intent on entering in a business despite the tempting prospect of covering her medical bills.

Nemu wants to keep things as they are, because she likes exchanging comments with people, and she thinks that turning professional is going to distance them. Touka insists that she accepts the offer, mostly because she thinks that she is slightly unreliable herself, especially with the proofreading since Nemu writes everything by hand. Nemu thanks them for their hard work nonetheless, and Touka decides respecting Nemu's decision not to become a professional. Ui is surprised because the two didn't end up bickering, but Touka says she has no business trying to take something so precious away from Nemu. A nurse enters the room and informs Nemu that her family is here to see her. Nemu's mother greets her.

Touka and Ui watch as Nemu's mother offers her daughter a new set of pajamas, alongside the book Nemu wanted. The mother explains that the book was surprisingly troublesome to find, and Nemu apologizes about all the trouble she got her mother into. It's her mother's assistant that ended up finding it, but Nemu asks she don't put them through work that is too harsh. Nemu's mother invites Nemu's brother to talk to her, but he doesn't have much to say to her. She comments about how he's so quiet at the hospital, when he's usually such a little rascal. But she eventually decides to drop it and leave him be.

Nemu is eventually told by her mother that their next visit won't be for a while, as she, alongside Nemu's father, are getting pretty busy. Nemu worries about her parents' health, but her mother reassures her that he loves his job and that if things go sour, she'll fly over and give her husband's manager a smack in the face. Nemu wonders if that is truly right.

Nemu's brother reminds her mother, however, that he promised his friends he'd play soccer with them, which prompts them to leave early. Nemu's mother hopes for her entire family to be reunited again so they can go do sports together, as Nemu's family is athletic. She asks if Nemu is getting along well with Touka and Nemu, to which she replies with a yes.

After they go, Nemu apologizes to Touka and Nemu for her mom's talkative tendencies. Ui says it's no big deal, but looks uncomfortable. Touka eventually snaps and complains about Nemu's family coming and saying that they're athletic in their face, and that not a single second have they stopped talking about themselves, the only thing related to Nemu being if the three of them get along. Ui retorts that Nemu's mom shouldn't have any malicious intents, to which Nemu agrees, believing that she talks positive for her to feel positive as well. Touka is still annoyed, but Nemu explains this is currently her only connection with the outside world and her family, and that she treasures it. She laments on how she's looking down on her own parents, but Ui says that she's overthinking it. She can't stand seeing Nemu cry, and knows she wants them to ask her more about her life. Touka agrees, and Nemu sighs, knowing she can't hide anything from them.

She complains about all the effort they put is into their own life, and that this caused Nemu to become alienated from their experiences. Without wanting to feel greedy, she nonetheless feels distant from them. Due to the fact they only sporadically remember her, she feels like as time goes on, she'll distance from them more and more. Ui apologizes, but asks Nemu to be a little more honest with her and rely on her more when she feels bad. Nemu says that as time goes by, she might become a stranger to her family. She mentions her brother's aloof behavior as an example of how he doesn't consider her a member of the family. Ui apologizes again for making Nemu feel bad, but Touka says it's not her fault, but Nemu's family's.

Later at night, while she's asleep, Nemu has an attack. Touka and Ui hastily try and get a doctor to see her, but once they're there, they're ordered to return to their rooms. Ui still worries about Nemu, but Touka asks her to listen to the doctors, as there's nothing more either of them can do. As Nemu dreams through her pain, she has visions of Ui and Touka calling her name, then her mother. She thinks about how she has these dreams and if they are merely illusions fabricated by her emotions; every now and then, she dreams of her mother calling out for her, reaching out for her, caring for her, and forgetting time. It turns out that in these moments, Nemu's mother was, in fact, really by her side.

Nemu initially only appeared in Iroha's flashbacks, where she, [[Ui Tamaki]] and [[Satomi Touka|Touka Satomi]] are seen staying in the hospital. She seems to be friends with both of them, however she fights with Touka a lot, making up shortly after. Nemu reappears in Chapter 7, confirming her status as one of the Magius. In Chapter 7.17, it's revealed that {{spoiler|it is Nemu who has created the Rumors invading Kamihama City at the cost of part of her lifeforce.}}

==Etymology==
* The character of her last name means "holly" (柊)
* Her first name is homophonous with the word for 'to sleep'. This could tie in to the strain that goes with creating rumors, which causes sleep.

==Trivia==
* Her design, along with Touka's and Alina's is based around a prison. Her design in particular represents the prisoner, as she has a chain with a ball attached to her ankle.
* Her Doppel bears a less striking, but still a certain resemblance to Iroha's Doppel Giovanna, much like Touka's.
** This could be due to {{spoiler|Nemu, alongside Touka, being inspired by Iroha to become a magical girl and wishing to save Iroha from the fate of magical girls}}.
* Nemu is the fourth magical girl to have her name in her Witch name (Pennen Nenemu), followed by Tsuruno (Yuhong), Homura (Homulilly) and Ren (Renata).
* Her Doppel name is also a reference to [https://www.aozora.gr.jp/cards/000081/files/33195_38118.html a work of Kenji Miyazawa], titled ''Biography of Pennen Nenemu''. It's about a world leader who has trouble fulfilling the duty of his position, but in the end he will fall asleep with a feeling of pride. This can refer to Nemu being one of the Magius leaders. It also slightly looks like an owl, which have been wisdom symbols ever since Pallas Athena.
** According to the translation of [https://ja.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/グスコーブドリの伝記 this Japanese Wikipedia page], ''Biography of Pennen Nenemu'' was the predecessor to the more well known novel ''[https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Life_of_Budori_Gusuko The Life of Budori Gusuko]''
** Miyazawa also wrote [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Night_on_the_Galactic_Railroad Night on the Galactic Railroad], which [[Iroha Tamaki|Iroha]], [[Mifuyu_Azusa|Mifuyu]]'s and [[Yachiyo Nanami|Yachiyo's]] doppels take their names from. He also wrote [https://www.aozora.gr.jp/cards/000081/files/462_15405.html the] [https://www.aozora.gr.jp/cards/000081/files/45309_22348.html works] [https://www.aozora.gr.jp/cards/000081/files/464_19941.html where] [[Kuro]]'s, [[Touka_Satomi|Touka]]'s and [[Kanagi_Izumi|Kanagi]]'s witch forms take their names from. [[Shitori Egumo]] is as well a reference to one of his works.
* In Nemu's transformation scene, she writes "Devil's Advocate" in the air with her finger.

==Summary==
A magical girl who is trying to create a world without Witches. The daughter, and patient, of the director of the Satomi Medical Center, Touka is an astrophysics prodigy. Surrounded by a wall of gadgets and devices, she continues to research her one dream...to know everything about the universe.

===Doppel Description===
The Doppel of daydreaming. Its form is a Match Seller. The master of this emotion desires more power even after becoming a Magical Girl, in order to achieve more wishes. This Doppel divides its master's lifespan up into matches, and grants a "What if" wish whenever a match is lit. When the Doppel runs out of matches, the master's life is over. It is very powerful, but similar to the Doppel of Dying Wishes, it mustn't be abused, for it sacrifices one's own lifespan.

The side story begins with a retelling of Magius' initial influence on Kamihama: Namely, the fact Kyubey can no longer enter it thanks to the help of a force field surrounding the entire area. Touka, [[Nemu Hiiragi|Nemu]], [[Alina Gray|Alina]] and [[Mifuyu Azusa|Mifuyu]] discusss the recent arrival of the [[Tsukuyo Amane|Amane]] [[Tsukasa Amane|Sisters]] into the team, and realize that merely 6 members is far from sufficient to gather enough energy to lead their project to fruition.

This is when Alina suggests that Mifuyu be in charge of the recruitment, due to her status as veteran. However, Mifuyu refuses: If she begins recruiting girls inside of Kamihama, there may be confusion about her sudden reappearance in the Western sections, and [[Yachiyo Nanami|Yachiyo]] might find her; If she begins looking outside of the city, nobody will listen to her since she's a stranger outside of Kamihama - which loops them back to the beginning of their problem. Mifuyu suddenly sneezes. She explains that she's been feeling a little sick since she's moved out of her parents' home - something she managed to accomplish thanks to grants bestowed from Touka. The latter asks if she can't just heal herself up with magic, since she's a Magical Girl. Mifuyu says she prefers staying sick, as this is one of the few human things left about herself.

The following day, the three Magius are reunited, but Mifuyu is conspicuously absent. They begin further discussing the problem of recruiting more members. Nemu brings up the harshness of Magical Girls' fate, and the moral implications of the means that they use to attain their goals. Touka mentions that if they also begin recruiting members that don't know about the Witch system, they'll look like a strange cult, further limiting their potential magical girl options.

Touka mentions a discrepancy between supply and demand, which earns her a snarky quip from Nemu. Alina cuts them short before the two can argue further, then directs them back on topic. Touka explains that Mifuyu should take care of recruitment anyways, but in the Eastern wards instead, where she is less known. She then explains that they can extend their potential magical girl pool to girls who simply have a hard time fighting witches. Touka begins praising herself from her genius, but Nemu remarks that putting it in a "come with us if you want to be saved" manner is just making them sound like a cult anyways. As Touka begins reasoning in raw statistics, Nemu laments about the fact it's just the six of them to recruit people around Kamihama.

Alina decides to lead the conversation anyways, focusing on how to enhance the force field and discussing Nemu's rumor creation. Suddenly, Alina receives a message from Mifuyu, informing them that her cold's gotten worse and that she won't be present for today's meeting. Touka is reminded of her illness-induced past, and chastises Mifuyu for not using her magic to heal herself. As Alina is about to send Mifuyu a message back to inform her that she can stay home, Nemu gets the idea of using radio waves to communicate their message in the most efficient way possible such as using e-mail, phone messages, etc. Touka praises Nemu for the idea, and decides to give it a test run.

Later on, Touka sneaks in Mifuyu's living quarters. She finds her asleep and with dinner bought from the convenience store. As Mifuyu groans in discomfort in her sleep, however, Touka decides to try and help her, bringing back a cold, humid towel to apply to her forehead. Touka is surprised that she's now caring for someone, but Mifuyu wakes up shortly after. Mifuyu offers Touka tea despite the former's sickness, but Touka refuses, demanding that she rest up. However, since Mifuyu's awake, Touka decides to use Mifuyu as a guinea pig for the transmission test run, and messages back Nemu to inform her of the situation and launch the experiment. Soon after, Mifuyu begins hearing singing, which makes the experiment a success.

The song is revealed to be from back when Touka was hospitalized; a nurse would sing it to her often to help her get better. She decided to use this specific song knowing Mifuyu's sickness, in hopes that this'd help her feel better, to which Mifuyu agrees. She quickly deduces that the experiment is actually meant to help with the recruitment of Magical Girls using radio waves. Having found that witches and similar creatures only magical girls can see are tuned to a specific frequency, Touka decided to use this specific wavelength to send a message only magical girls can hear within and beyond Kamihama. Mifuyu praises Touka, and then finds renewed vigor, telling Touka she should be right back on her feet the following day; but Touka asks her not to overwork herself.

Back in the Magius' HQ, with Mifuyu now present, the other Magius have to withstand an irrational bout of anger from Touka. It's revealed that this scene is back from where the Rumor of the Seance Shrine was defeated, and Yachiyo came out of it unscathed. Mifuyu acknowledges the presence of [[Iroha Tamaki|a new ally]] by Yachiyo's side now, and that they should be more careful. While Nemu suggests creating more rumors, Alina suggests using witches instead due to the similarity between doppels and witches; However, Mifuyu claims that method is too harsh, but Alina retorts that spreading awareness of the truth is their best option. Touka begins explaining that they should create rumors frightening enough to inflict trauma on their victims, which shocks Mifuyu and prompts her to scold Touka, explaining that they will not sacrifice people for the sake of their goals and that as long as Magical Girls aren't in danger of becoming witches, they can take their time.

Nemu, however, sympathizes with Touka's situation, reminding Mifuyu that she uses her own life force to create rumors and that using it on low-quality ones would be a waste. Alina agrees, claiming she cannot turn down an offer to create beautiful art. Mifuyu reiterates her desire not to cause more sacrifices than necessary, but Touka slaps her and goes away.

Mifuyu's objections are putting a stop on Magius' plans, as if they stall out too long, people might eventually figure out what rumors are, and the Feathers may be also caught and spill the beans. Nemu admits, however, that Mifuyu, despite her stalling, has a point, as if they lost sight of their moral standing, their plans would fall into disarray quickly as the Feathers are still people, and might eventually sense danger and defect from the Magius altogether. As a result, Mifuyu represents a tremendous weight in the Magius thanks to her popularity, and should she leave herself, the organization may collapse. A frustrated Touka eventually decides to go cool down elsewhere, as she believes she's not thinking clearly. Nemu expresses her relief over Touka noticing, which upsets the latter, who asks her why she hadn't told her directly in the first place if she knew; to which Nemu replies it'd only have made her angrier.

Back in her room, Touka ponders what she could possibly do to help Mifuyu understand. She compares the magical girl system to a dog-eat-dog world and a "survival of the fittest", and says she's ready to do anything to survive as well.

The next day, in Saint Lilliana Academy, Touka is tasked to do group work, which bores her immensely. A younger classmate asks her to explain division to her, but Touka berates her for failing to grasp a concept so simple to her. The teacher tries to explain Touka that this girl only started studying division, but Touka retorts by saying she knew about it far before her age. She then adds that while people can't grasp concepts as easily as she can, she believes she's clever enough to explain them, which is indirect praise directed at Touka. She finally settles on teaching the girl how to do division.

As the lesson continues, Touka tries explaining the girl about fractions, but the teacher informs her it's currently outside of the program. She settles on remainders instead, and the girl comments about how said remainder looks lonely, separated from the rest of the numbers, which confuses Touka. While trying to keep her calm, Touka tells the girl how numbers don't have feelings and that it should be fine, but the girl insists that all numbers should get along, and that as group leader, Touka should have a way to figure this out. Touka snaps at this, and angrily reiterates that numbers are merely concepts and that there is no other thing to do with them but to write that down as intended. The girl, however, begins crying, and Touka realizes she's made a mistake.

As the teacher drags her aside and begins scolding her, Touka reiterates that getting rid of the remainder is the only way to have the answer. This statement, however, makes something click in Touka's mind. She decides she's had enough of being patient, and will tell that to Mifuyu once she sees her again.

With a renewed resolve and an unusually foul mood, Touka meets again with Nemu to tell her about her plans to use the radio frequencies to drag in more witches in Kamihama and use more dangerous rumors, as it is the most cost-efficient solution they have before her. Nemu states that Mifuyu won't be pleased with that outcome, but Touka says that as the genius, she gets to decide whatever she wants. Mifuyu incidentally arrives right after, and Touka explains her point of view to her once and for all. She claims that it's necessary for now, in order to make a better future.

The next part is set in the past, during Touka's hospitalization with Nemu and [[Ui Tamaki|Ui]], with Touka playing a video game against Iroha, and Iroha losing. Ui states that Iroha isn't very good at games, with Iroha retorting that she's better at turn-based board games like shogi. Iroha, however, says she's glad to get all three of them to play games together, and Touka explains she got this game from one of her dad's acquaintances who knew about her love for space. Most of the games Touka are gifted have educational content, which Nemu remarks on; However, Touka claims she already knows all of that. While Iroha praises Touka for her knowledge, Ui remarks it might have nothing to do at all with being good at games.

Iroha then orders all three girls to stop the videogames and do their homework. Iroha remarks the huge break between classes, and asks if that means they have a lot of homework. Ui replies that they only have one big assignment to do: Self-study. Nemu explains that they have to compile information on a hobby or interest, then make a presentation about that, and those without a hobby can look things up online. Ui asks what Iroha would present, and she answers that she'd talk about cooking and baking, as these are the two topics she knows best. Iroha returns the question, and Ui answers that she's going to look into what people sing in school choirs, while Nemu will do her part on her favorite books, particularly philosophical children's stories.

Iroha guesses that Touka will do her presentation about space, but guesses that she'll do more a full-blown class than a simple presentation; However, she greatly upsets Touka by accident. Iroha quickly apologizes, but Touka says that it's not her fault, but rather something else that happened.

It's explained in another anterior scene that Touka decided against doing her project about space, and rather focus on quantum computers. Ui is a little disappointed, being eager to watch Touka talk about space. The teacher calls Touka, and asks her as well if she'll do something on space. She believes that even if the students might not understand the tricky parts, that she'll do a good job at teaching them and making them interested about the topic. However, Touka refuses, unwilling to share her knowledge as she's worked hard to gather it.

Back in the hospital, Iroha guesses that people would still like to hear Touka talk about space, which disappoints the latter as she realizes everyone is in favor of her talking about space. She still expresses refusal over teaching people about this, as she claims she's already had too much stolen from her. She tearfully explains that she understands she's bedridden for the rest of her life, and the hospital doesn't allow her to leave because the world is better outside, and that if she experiences it firsthand, she'll never want to come back.

All that Touka knows of the world is the Satomi Medical Center. She only gets her knowledge of the outside world through internet. She reminisces her father, who never misses a chance to remind her how proud he is of her and her ability to learn so quickly. He informs that Touka should use her smarts to help the rest of the community around her. Touka is worried at the notion of "giving back", but her father tells her that he'll gift her anything she wants if she complies. She asks about living under the same roof as her parents, about finally being free. However, her father cannot gift her that, as she's still very sick and needs to remain at the hospital for further treatment. Touka therefore decides to never give back anything to anyone, as anything she ever gave out to people, she was never given anything back in return.

Touka muses about outer space, the only world that ever gave her anything. She admired the cosmos for its limitless freedom and its endless ability to be discovered over and over. She got to learn things only she knew, which is why outer space is so important to her. Suddenly, she feels a sharp pain in her back which immobilizes her.

Later on, a sleeping Touka is awoken by the same lullaby she used to transmit the radio waves in the present. It's revealed that the 'nurse' who used to sing this song to her is no one other than Iroha herself. Touka asks what Iroha is doing here, and Iroha offers her a present, which is an apple pie she baked herself. Iroha was feeling bad after offending Touka the other day, which is why she made that apple pie for her. Touka laments about how she cannot eat it, but Iroha reassures her that she obtained her father's guidance to prepare it without any ingredient that she cannot eat. Touka taste-tests it, and finds that the pie is incredibly delicious.

Iroha explains that she could teach Touka little thing after little thing to make her happy like this. In the same fashion, she requests that Touka share her knowledge about outer space one more time, to make them just as happy. Iroha tries the pie out, and is surprised at the taste herself. Touka agrees.

The next day, Touka arrives late to class. However, she's brought a lot of classroom materials for everyone. If they want to learn about space, she claims that she should start with constellations first. She then tells Ui that her older sister Iroha is much like the [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Beta_Pegasi Beta Pegasi]. However, she doesn't give Ui an explanation, telling Ui to go look it up herself.

===Costume Stories===
====Swimsuit (2019)====

==Event Appearances==
* [[Magia Record Story The Ephemeral Summer Night|The Ephemeral Summer Night]]

===In-game===
Touka first appears in Iroha's flashbacks, where she, [[Ui Tamaki]] and [[Hiiragi Nemu|Nemu Hiiragi]] are seen staying in the hospital. She seems to be friends with both of them, however she fights with Nemu a lot, making up shortly after.

Touka reappears in Chapter 6, confirming her status as one of the Magius. She tells the girls the truth about Soul Gems, Witches, and Doppels, overseeing {{spoiler| the brainwashing of Tsuruno, Felicia and Sana as part of their forced induction into the Wings of Magius. She giggles as Iroha begs her to let Tsuruno, Sana and Felicia go, and taunts her as she finds the idea preposterous.}}

She is subsequently present in Chapter 7, during {{spoiler| the raid on Chelation Land as Iroha and her allies attempt to save Tsuruno and stop the Rumor from consuming large amounts of the city's human populace, as it was intended by the Magius to do.}}

In the following chapters, Touka continues her role as a villain, working with her fellow Magius to further their plan, as Iroha and her allies try to stop them.

By Chapter 10, Touka has realized {{spoiler|that Eve is in fact Ui and helps Iroha and the others to rescue Ui and stop Eve from destroying the city. She then has the Rumor of the 10,000 year Sakura act as an impartial judge for her and Nemu so they can stand trial for their crimes. They are sentenced to never be allowed to transform into magical girls again upon penalty of death. Though she still believes in Magical Girl supremacy, she declines working with Neo Magius because it would sadden Ui and Iroha. }}

==Etymology==
* The characters of her last name mean "village" (里) and "to see" (見) respectively.
* The characters of her first name mean "light" (灯) and "flower" (花) respectively.

==Trivia==
* Her design, along with those of Nemu and Alina, are based around a prison. Her design in particular represents the prison itself, with her dress as the bars.
* Touka makes an appearance in the opening next to [[Mifuyu Azusa]] and [[Alina Gray]], all three of whom are part of [[Wings of Magius]].
* Her doppel, Pennen Nolde, bears a striking resemblance to [[Iroha Tamaki]]'s doppel Giovanna. The reason for this has yet to be explained.
** However, this could be due to {{spoiler|Touka being inspired by Iroha to become a magical girl and wishing to save Iroha from the fate of magical girls}}.
* Her doppel name is also a reference to [https://www.aozora.gr.jp/cards/000081/files/45309_22348.html a work of Kenji Miyazawa]. He also wrote [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Night_on_the_Galactic_Railroad Night on the Galactic Railroad], which [[Iroha Tamaki|Iroha]], [[Mifuyu_Azusa|Mifuyu]]'s and [[Yachiyo Nanami|Yachiyo's]] doppels take their names from. He also wrote [https://www.aozora.gr.jp/cards/000081/files/462_15405.html the] [https://www.aozora.gr.jp/cards/000081/files/464_19941.html works] [https://www.aozora.gr.jp/cards/000081/files/33195_38118.html where] [[Kuro]]'s, [[Kanagi_Izumi|Kanagi]]'s and [[Nemu_Hiiragi|Nemu]]'s witch forms take their names from. [[Shitori Egumo]] is as well a reference to one of his works.
* Her doppel is a reference to The Little Matchstick Girl by Danish author, Hans Christian Andersen. The story revolves around a dying girls hopes and wishes, seeing one everytime she lights a match. However the match goes out in the cold snow and she loses a bit of her life force which is what Pennen Nolde does to Touka everytime she lights match when she uses it.
** Her doppel summons a bright star in the sky that rains down falling stars - Stars are often seen as symbols of hope and falling stars are said in many forms of folklore to grant wishes. However, the falling stars may also represent Touka's waning life as she uses the doppel, as her dreams seem to be unreachable.
** It can also refer to the bully from ''Night on the Galactic Railroad'', Zanelli. In fact, fans expected the doppel to be named Zanelli before its name was revealed.
* In MagiReco Archive Vol. 2, her doppel's name is written incorrectly. Rather than it saying "Pennen Nolde" in runes ({{Runes|PENNEN NOLDE}}), it instead says "Totentanz" ({{Runes|TOTENTANZ}}), the name of Mitama's doppel.

==Summary==
A magical girl who is trying to create a world without witchification. She began writing stories in order to meet her desire for self-approval and after posting it on the internet she came to be called a genius writer. But until now no one has been able to get in touch with her. Her dream is to write a story that embodies the world.

===Doppel Description===
The Doppel of last testament. Its form is a deathwatch beetle. The master of this emotion offers up every remaining bit of her life. This Doppel can devour stories with the insect heads on both of its hands, then physically manifest said stories in this world. The absolutely ridiculous range of this power makes it a Doppel to truly be feared. The source of this Doppel’s power is its master’s already-short lifespan, and its power is said to grow stronger as its master’s lifespan dwindles. However, since all of its power is directed towards the story-manifesting ability, it lacks direct offensive capabilities, and could hardly last a second if attacked by a witch.

===Side Story===

==Event Appearances==
* [[Magia Record Story The Ephemeral Summer Night|The Ephemeral Summer Night]]
* [[Magia Record Story The Oblivion Ring Dance Will Sleep For a Long Time|The Oblivion Ring Dance Will Sleep For a Long Time]]
===In-game===
Nemu initially only appeared in Iroha's flashbacks, where she, [[Ui Tamaki]] and [[Satomi Touka|Touka Satomi]] are seen staying in the hospital. She seems to be friends with both of them, however she fights with Touka a lot, making up shortly after. Nemu reappears in Chapter 7, confirming her status as one of the Magius. In Chapter 7.17, it's revealed that {{spoiler|it is Nemu who has created the Rumors invading Kamihama City at the cost of part of her lifeforce.}}

==Etymology==
* The character of her last name means "holly" (柊)
* Her first name is homophonous with the word for 'to sleep'. This could tie in to the strain that goes with creating rumors, which causes sleep.

==Trivia==
* Her design, along with Touka's and Alina's is based around a prison. Her design in particular represents the prisoner, as she has a chain with a ball attached to her ankle.
* Her Doppel bears a less striking, but still a certain resemblance to Iroha's Doppel Giovanna, much like Touka's.
* Nemu is the fourth magical girl to have her name in her Witch name (Pennen Nenemu), followed by Tsuruno (Yuhong), Homura (Homulilly) and Ren (Renata).
* Her Doppel name is also a reference to [https://www.aozora.gr.jp/cards/000081/files/33195_38118.html a work of Kenji Miyazawa], titled ''Biography of Pennen Nenemu''. It's about a world leader who has trouble fulfilling the duty of his position, but in the end he will fall asleep with a feeling of pride. This can refer to Nemu being one of the Magius leaders. It also slightly looks like an owl, which have been wisdom symbols ever since Pallas Athena.
** According to the translation of [https://ja.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/グスコーブドリの伝記 this Japanese Wikipedia page], ''Biography of Pennen Nenemu'' was the predecessor to the more well known novel ''[https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Life_of_Budori_Gusuko The Life of Budori Gusuko]''
** Miyazawa also wrote [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Night_on_the_Galactic_Railroad Night on the Galactic Railroad], which [[Iroha Tamaki|Iroha]], [[Mifuyu_Azusa|Mifuyu]]'s and [[Yachiyo Nanami|Yachiyo's]] doppels take their names from. He also wrote [https://www.aozora.gr.jp/cards/000081/files/462_15405.html the] [https://www.aozora.gr.jp/cards/000081/files/45309_22348.html works] [https://www.aozora.gr.jp/cards/000081/files/464_19941.html where] [[Kuro]]'s, [[Touka_Satomi|Touka]]'s and [[Kanagi_Izumi|Kanagi]]'s witch forms take their names from. [[Shitori Egumo]] is as well a reference to one of his works.
* In Nemu's transformation scene, she writes "Devil's Advocate" in the air with her finger.

==Summary==
A magical girl who is trying to create a world without witchification. She is the daughter of the director of Satomi Medical Center who was hospitalized, and is a genius of science who studied astrophysics as a child. Research is usually carried out while surrounded by innumerable devices, and her dream is to know everything in the universe.

===Doppel Description===
The Doppel of daydreams. Its form is a match-seller. Even after becoming a Puella Magi, the master of this emotion desires yet more power, with which to accomplish yet greater wishes. This Doppel carries matches cut from its master’s lifespan, and it’s said that by striking and lighting these matches, it can grant any “what-if” imaginable. The number of remaining matches is tied to its master’s lifespan, and using them all up will mean the end of her life. It’s a very strong Doppel, but because it sacrifices its master’s lifespan in much the same way as the Doppel of Testament, overuse of it is forbidden.

===Side Story===

==Event Appearances==
* [[Magia Record Story The Ephemeral Summer Night|The Ephemeral Summer Night]]

===In-game===
Touka first appears in Iroha's flashbacks, where she, [[Ui Tamaki]] and [[Hiiragi Nemu|Nemu Hiiragi]] are seen staying in the hospital. She seems to be friends with both of them, however she fights with Nemu a lot, making up shortly after.

Touka reappears in Chapter 6, confirming her status as one of the Magius. She tells the girls the truth about Soul Gems, Witches, and Doppels, overseeing {{spoiler| the brainwashing of Tsuruno, Felicia and Sana as part of their forced induction into the Wings of Magius. She giggles as Iroha begs her to let Tsuruno, Sana and Felicia go, and taunts her as she finds the idea preposterous.}}

She is subsequently present in Chapter 7, during {{spoiler| the raid on Chelation Land as Iroha and her allies attempt to save Tsuruno and stop the Rumor from consuming large amounts of the city's human populace, as it was intended by the Magius to do.}}

In the following chapters, Touka continues her role as a villain, working with her fellow Magius to further their plan, as Iroha and her allies try to stop them.

By Chapter 10, Touka has realized {{spoiler|that Eve is in fact Ui and helps Iroha and the others to rescue Ui and stop Eve from destroying the city. She then has the Rumor of the 10,000 year Sakura act as an impartial judge for her and Nemu so they can stand trial for their crimes. They are sentenced to never be allowed to transform into magical girls again upon penalty of death. Though she still believes in Magical Girl supremacy, she declines working with Neo Magius because it would sadden Ui and Iroha. }}

==Etymology==
* The characters of her last name mean "village" (里) and "to see" (見) respectively.
* The characters of her first name mean "light" (灯) and "flower" (花) respectively.

==Trivia==
* Her design, along with those of Nemu and Alina, are based around a prison. Her design in particular represents the prison itself, with her dress as the bars.
* Touka makes an appearance in the opening next to [[Mifuyu Azusa]] and [[Alina Gray]], all three of whom are part of [[Wings of Magius]].
* Her doppel, Pennen Nolde, bears a striking resemblance to [[Iroha Tamaki]]'s doppel Giovanna. The reason for this has yet to be explained.
* Her doppel name is also a reference to [https://www.aozora.gr.jp/cards/000081/files/45309_22348.html a work of Kenji Miyazawa]. He also wrote [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Night_on_the_Galactic_Railroad Night on the Galactic Railroad], which [[Iroha Tamaki|Iroha]], [[Mifuyu_Azusa|Mifuyu]]'s and [[Yachiyo Nanami|Yachiyo's]] doppels take their names from. He also wrote [https://www.aozora.gr.jp/cards/000081/files/462_15405.html the] [https://www.aozora.gr.jp/cards/000081/files/464_19941.html works] [https://www.aozora.gr.jp/cards/000081/files/33195_38118.html where] [[Kuro]]'s, [[Kanagi_Izumi|Kanagi]]'s and [[Nemu_Hiiragi|Nemu]]'s witch forms take their names from. [[Shitori Egumo]] is as well a reference to one of his works.
* Her doppel is a reference to The Little Matchstick Girl by Danish author, Hans Christian Andersen. The story revolves around a dying girls hopes and wishes, seeing one everytime she lights a match. However the match goes out in the cold snow and she loses a bit of her life force which is what Pennen Nolde does to Touka everytime she lights match when she uses it.
** Her doppel summons a bright star in the sky that rains down falling stars - Stars are often seen as symbols of hope and falling stars are said in many forms of folklore to grant wishes. However, the falling stars may also represent Touka's waning life as she uses the doppel, as her dreams seem to be unreachable.
** It can also refer to the bully from ''Night on the Galactic Railroad'', Zanelli. In fact, fans expected the doppel to be named Zanelli before its name was revealed.

==Summary==
A Magical Girl who is trying to create a world where no one has to become a Witch, Alina is an artistic genius obsessed with life and death who pours herself into her work, dreaming of making masterpieces featuring Witches themselves. She's used herself as a subject for her art when in a creative slump.

===Doppel Description===
The Doppel of fever. Its form is a tube.
The master of this Doppel is entranced by the beauty of her own Doppel, but has yet to realize that it is still hiding its true form. It attacks from where it sprouts out of her back, using a large projection of itself made from the hardened paint (Pathogen Tempera) it emits. It boasts a Witch-like figure as it does this, despite its Doppel nature — this is because its human body becomes so coated in paint that she's no longer visible. The master cannot verify the appearance of her Doppel, but apparently it is "just as beautiful when you view it from the inside".

===Side Story===
Alina wins an award in Modern Art for her artwork. At school, people discuss the winning painting, which is a self-portrait of Alina. The students say that supposedly, Alina couldn't think of anything to make for the prize, and she ended up snapping all the wood in the prep room. According to this rumor, Alina only got the idea to make a self-portrait when she was about to snap the canvas in two. She had a junior take a photo of her, and then drew herself based on that. However, she then coated her image in sand, which confuses the students telling the rumor.

Alina overhears the students talk about her. At the clubroom with [[Karin Misono]], Alina takes her milk. Karin says it's mean, but Alina says it's more mean to talk about people behind their backs. Karin says Alina was happy to win the award, and Karin's the one who took the photo in the first place. Alina says that Karin needs to work on her art before she can be proud of herself. Karin apologizes and says Alina's amazing. Alina calls her foolish and leaves. Alina thinks that if she was actually aiming for the prize, she wouldn't have minded letting the story get out. However, she's more interested in creating art simply to create. Alina is reminded that one of the judges was going to see her, but decides to pass.

Later, Alina is called to the teacher's room. The announcement says she has a guest. Deducing it's the judge she was supposed to meet, Alina mutters she'll pass. Suddenly a teacher barges into the room Alina's in and tells her not to make them wait any longer. When Alina remains obstinate, the teacher tells her not to be spoiled and asks her if she realizes how many people wanted the prize. Alina says if that's the case she'll just give the prize back. The teacher tells her to come, but Alina runs off.

Alina goes to a restaurant. Karin, who was looking for Alina, eventually finds her. Karin says she got a letter from the judge, saying she was taken to meet them. Alina quietly apologizes. Karin says she wants to go buy art supplies with Alina. Alina says Karin's too much of a free girl, but tells her to hold on a bit. Alina reads the letter, and suddenly says she's leaving. As she wanders down the street, she can only think of the letter's contents: "It seems you are capable of creating a work that is so beautiful and arcane that viewers will think about it until their deaths. However, your work, which has no external theme, is a powerful drug that might drive people insane. That's why I want to tell you this. If you don't want to change the world, stop creating. You are only fifteen years old; if you haven't realized this, your brilliance will probably run out." Alina thinks she doesn't get it.

Alina figures that the letter was asking about the message she was trying to convey with a piece of her art. She thinks this is the first person who asked about her values, and not her work. Alina admits she wouldn't mind if her work really was some kind of poison or drug. Alina admits she doesn't know why she creates art and decides to review how she got to where she was. Alina heads to an art gallery that is exhibiting her works. She goes to one of the museum workers, a girl named [[Mayu Kozue]]. Alina asks if there's a poster listing her past works, saying that her parents should have sent the information. Mayu says she'll check and brings her the poster. Alina says the poster has too much information, and asks if it can be replaced with a simpler version she'll send. Mayu says she'll ask.

The poster explains that Alina was born in the Sakae Ward of Kamihama City. Her parents had an art gallery known as "Gallery Gray". At age 8, when her dog and grandparents died, Alina became fascinated by the transformation from living creature into object, and began trying to depict the boundary between life and death. Alina used time lapse photography and posing skeletons, ultimately creating her first artwork at age eleven. Alina created several works since then, including a picture drawn at age 14 using charcoal that came from carbonized corpses.

Alina mutters that if she goes over her art again, she has nothing to question. However, she does receive inspiration from the things that excite her. Alina thanks Mayu and prepares to leave. Before Alina goes, Mayu says her art is amazing. Alina wonders if Mayu has fallen to her drug, and if her brilliance will fade at the age of fifteen. Alina figures she needs to be more creative. She tries making things in the clubroom, but is disappointed.

Karin then asks Alina to take a look at the new character she made for her manga. However, Alina begins destroying her painting, saying it's not exciting, sensational, or emotional enough. Karin points out that Alina was working on it all week. Alina simply destroys it and asks Karin to take a photo. Alina looks at it, and says it's terrible. Alina thinks her work has become trash because she has nothing. Even when she was making artwork with her inspiration and senses, she was empty. Alina says she's decided to jump, while narrating that her art should have been more brilliant.

Having been told her art has no external theme, Alina noticed where she was lacking. She thinks it's something that can't change even if she traveled the world and saw many sights. It's implied she did just that, as Alina says that in one month, she hasn't changed at all. She thinks her brilliance really will fade at fifteen. Alina returns to the club and is met by Karin, who asks where Alina's been. Alina says she was enjoying a bit of travel. She asks if Karin disturbed the painting she broke. Karin says the teachers told her to leave it alone, thinking that it's broken state was part of the art. Alina thinks the teachers are foolish.

Alina critiques Karin's manga. Karin says that Alina hasn't drawn anything this day, and that she's been acting strange even before taking a trip. Karin asks if it's because of the letter she gave Alina. Alina hesitates, then asks Karin what sort of theme she has in mind when she draws. When Karin doesn't understand, Alina asks her why she wants to draw manga. Karin asks if that will make Alina feel better. Alina admits she doesn't know. Karin says she draws because she wants to make it's readers feel better, just like how she does when she reads the manga "Magical Kirin". Alina says that Karin wants to spread happiness to others, and says she might be more of a genius than she is. Karin insist she isn't, but Alina leaves.

Alina thinks that even Karin has something she doesn't. She mutters that she can't give birth to anything but a powerful drug, and that she'll lose her brilliance at 15. She then starts laughing and says that gave her the shivers. While near a riverbank, Alina decides she is nearing her death as an artist. Believing herself empty, she says that her realization of this has caused her past works to lose their luster. Alina decides to break all of her old art...including herself. She says that her last artwork will be to go out in a blaze of glory, and when her brilliance fades her body will rot away. A voice tells her if she would really be alright with that.

The voice is revealed to be [[Kyubey]]. Alina thinks he's a weasel and wonders if something is wrong with her head. Kyubey says she's in "a normal state" and introduces himself. Alina says it could be fun to listen to what he has to say. Kyubey says she's a type of human that is the most difficult to understand, and offers her a contract. Alina says it's like a fantasy, and says she doesn't have a wish. Kyubey says Alina seems "to be in a state similar to when humans are worrying". He offers to help clear up her worries. Alina says he wouldn't understand, and that it would be pointless to get what she wants just by wishing for it.

Kyubey points out she would still have what she wants. Alina hits him in response and says he doesn't get it. Kyubey says she possesses great potential, but Alina has no intention of using it, and has already decided on making her final piece of art. Kyubey begins to ask something, but Alina leaves. She then resolves to create her last artwork. The next day, Alina walks through the city, looking happy. She turns out to be excited over her impending "end" and thinks the holiday couldn't get any better. Arriving at the art gallery, Alina pulls out a hammer and saw and starts destroying her art. A shocked Mayu calls for help. A man shows up, but Alina leaves.

Alina then heads to a roof, saying that it will end with herself. She thinks that she'll record the moment where all of her light disappears. Kyubey appears, and asks her to reconsider becoming a magical girl. Alina hits him again and says if she solved her problems with a wish, she wouldn't be herself anymore. Kyubey suggests she wish for something else. Alina says she wants Kyubey to go away, and then realizes that might not be a bad wish. She explains that her parents often get mad at her for spending all her time painting, and so makes her wish: "I want an area where nobody can disturb me". Kyubey tries to explain more about being a magical girl, but Alina tells him to be quiet. She says she mixed this wish with her life and death, and soon it will be lost as well.

As Kyubey tells her to stop, Alina "completes her art" and jumps off the roof. Kyubey says he doesn't understand. Alina narrates a message to everyone who said she was a a genius artist: that this is her last piece of artwork. She narrates they were the ones intoxicated with her art, who valued it so much. It's shown that Alina landed in a field of flowers, and had set up a video camera to record her death. There is silence for a long time. Suddenly, a voice calls out that there's a person.

While floating in a gray haze, Alina finds herself disappointed. She realized that she always had a theme and there was never anything wrong with her in the first place. Her theme was simply her beauty. Alina mutters that knowing that is pointless now, and wonders if dying was really worth it. She think the worst possible ending is for her final work to be a failure. She finds herself wanting the place she wished for. Suddenly, Alina wakes up in the hospital, finding the she can't move. Alina wonders if she was drifting in the space between life and death. She thinks that place had nothing - she was just there thinking.

Alina is broken from her thoughts when Karin calls out to her. Karin says she's happy Alina woke up, and says she could have died if someone didn't find her. Karin then starts crying. Alina says Karin shouldn't cry, because she was just using her body to make her final artwork. Karin says she doesn't understand, and asks if Alina will turn herself into art again. Alina says she won't because she found her theme - but she still doesn't fully fell like she's alive. Karin grabs her hands and says she's alive. Alina admits she's right. Alina notices Karin is carrying a bag and asks what it is. Karin says she brought her "Phantom Thief Magical Karin" manga and gives it to Alina. She then leaves.

Alina reads the manga, but can't seem to understand it. Suddenly she hears a knock on the door of her hospital room. It turns out to be [[Touka Satomi]] and [[Nemu Hiiragi]]. Touka says hello, and Nemu says she feels relieved. It turns out they were the ones who found Alina. Alina thanks them, prompting Nemu to say that was outrageously matter-of-fact. Touka asks if Alina is the famous Alina Gray, having heard about her on television. Nemu says her "Psychedelic Adolescent Hymn" had a lot of young visitors. Alina says she didn't know that.

Nemu hands her a flyer, which talks about "The trepidation and madness of youth". Alina realizes the picture on the flyer is from when she was destroying her artwork. Alina says it's better than being charged for breach of contract and damages. Alina asks if that's all. Nemu says they came to hear Alina's thanks for saving them. Touka says Alina must have hit a "miraculous jackpot" for her to be found by Touka and Nemu, and asks for her thanks in exchange. Alina calls them shameless and tells them to go away. Touka says its not hard, and both her and Nemu say please. Alina asks what they want to do, and Touka explains they want her to have a talk with them. Alina is confused.

Afterward, Alina says they were weird kids. Kyubey appears and says they have the same potential she does. Alina asks what happened to her. Kyubey explained that when she became a magical girl, Alina's "body became able to fight against witches", and that's the "primary reason" why she survived. Alina admits her final artwork didn't work out, but says she's grateful. Alina explains that she found her theme, and got the place she wished for. Alina says she was a fool to think her work had no theme and says she won't stop creating. She claims what she sends out will be her "beauty".

Alina senses something, which Kyubey explains is the presence of a witch. Alina transforms and says she will greet it as a magical girl. She enters the witch's barrier and fights a familiar, laughing the whole time. Kyubey says her reaction is unusual. Alina says that this world is overflowing with lifeforms of such a unique design. She says it gives her the shivers. Alina narrates that the material for her next art "will be you". She claims she will show everyone her beauty, and they will become drunk on her art. Alina starts laughing and says it gives her the shivers.

===Costume Stories===
====Swimsuit (2019)====
'''For a Masterpiece, Sacrifice is Essential''' 
Alina is at the mall shopping with Karin. Karin is interested in the screentones and other art supplies, but Alina thinks Karin's lack of talent will be wasted on the art supplies. Karin thinks it's more important to look the part, but before she can blink Alina had already wandered off. Karin remembers she mentioned wanting to look at swimsuits, and offers to pick one out for her. She pushes Alina into a store and they check out the swimsuits. Karin finds several that she thinks would look good on Alina, and Alina tries on a few. Three hours later and Alina has tried on every swimsuit in the shop. Karin suggests the simpler swimsuit while the shopclerk suggests a fancier, pricier one. Alina says she didn't come here to buy a swimsuit, just to ''look'' at them. She would rather design her own, but wasn't sure what materials the latest swimsuits were made of. Alina leaves the store and a flustered Karin behind. Some time later, Alina shows off her finished swimsuit to Karin. She says it's a reflection on paradise and original sin, but Karin doesn't get it.

==Event Appearances==
* [[Magical Halloween Theater ~A magical girl troupe for a day~]].
* [[Magia Record Story Mitama's Special Training - Alina and Hinano Episode|Mitama's Special Training - Alina and Hinano Episode]]
* [[Magia Record Story The Ephemeral Summer Night|The Ephemeral Summer Night]]

===Other Appearances===
Alina appears in [[Tsukuyo Amane]] and [[Tsukasa Amane]]'s side stories.

==Abilities==
Because of her wish, Alina has the ability to summon her own labyrinths at will. With this ability, she is able to hold other witches within it without the risk of them escaping. She uses this power to feed victims to whatever witch she currently has captured to make it stronger, and to trap witches together until they eat each other, and is thus the reason why all the witches of Kamihama are stronger than elsewhere.

==Etymology==
* The characters of her name use katakana as her parents may be foreign born. In her side story, it states Alina was born in the Sakae Ward of Kamihama City.
* 'Alina' means 'bright, beautiful'.

==Trivia==
* Her design, along with Nemu's and Touka's, is based around a prison. Her design in particular resembles a warden.
* Old Dorothy is a reference to [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dorothy_Clutterbuck a woman who was rumored to be a witch].
* Alina's weapon looks like the [https://www.livescience.com/10510-viruses-invade.html HIV virus's envelope] and her doppel used to show the [http://www.health.am/aids/more/cellular-scissors-chop-up-hiv-virus/ virus's anatomy.]
** However, in an update to the game, Alina's doppel was changed to not show the HIV virus anatomy [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Cse7RFW9BPo comparison video ]
* Her illustrators are [[Aoki Ume]] for her four star card and [https://anidb.net/perl-bin/animedb.pl?show=creator&creatorid=46267 Sasagi Koushi] for her five star card.
* The name of Alina's Magia and personal Memoria refer to ''[http://blog.sevenponds.com/soulful-expressions/kuzosu-death-noble-lady-decay-body kuzosu]'', a genre of Japanese paintings from the 13th through 19th centuries. These paintings depicted [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mara%E1%B9%87asati the nine stages of a human corpse, according to Buddhist belief]. In certain Buddhist traditions, monks were taught to reflect on these stages to better understand - and transcend - the physical world.
* While Alina Gray is a foreign name, she was born in the Sakae Ward, implying that she may be Half-Japanese or have foreign parents that moved to Japan before she was born.
* Alina's sanity may not all be that stable, she constantly displays over-exaggerated face expressions and it has a narcissistic or egotistical personality which is constant. She also has a morbid fascination with death but in a disturbing way and seems to take delight in when people get hurt - as evidenced by her maniacal laughter when using her Magia upon other magical girls.
* Her doppel type being that of Fever may refer to her wish, as people infected with an illness that could cause an epidemic are often put in 'spaces where no one can disturb them' (quarantine).
* Out of all Magius leaders including Iroha and Ui, her doppel name is an exception in that it is not called after a work of Kenji Miyazawa.
* In the JP version of MagiReco, Alina speaks Japanese with English mixed in. In the NA version she speaks English with Italian mixed in.

Wings of the Magius

2017-12-04T21:09:37Z

AntMan9751: /* Summary */

'''The Wings of Magius''' are an organization of magical girls from the mobile game [[Puella Magi Madoka Magica Side Story: Magia Record|Magia Record]]. They act as the game's main antagonists.

==Summary==
Operating out of [[Kamihama City]], the Wings of Magius stated goal is to "release" magical girls from their fate. They claim the Doppel phenomenon that occurs in Kamihama is proof of this. In order to save magical girls, they protect the [[Rumor]]s of the city, though it is unclear why this would save magical girls. They also try and put Rumors and Witches together, for currently unknown reasons. Even the low-ranking members of the organization seem unaware of all the details.

It is implied they are aware magical girls become Witches, and that somehow the existence of Rumors allows magical girls to call Doppels instead.

The group gets it's name from the organization's superiors, the three Magius. The rest of the group claim they act as the Magius's wings.

==Organization==
===Black Feathers===
The lowest ranking members of the group. Black Feathers are magical girls wearing hooded black cloaks. They are portrayed in the game as generic mook enemies.

===White Feathers===
Ranking higher than the Black Feather, they wear white cloaks. Sometimes they are inconsistently called '''White Wings'''. While White Feathers appear as generic enemies, three of them appear as named characters.

====Known White Feathers====
*[[Tsukuyo Amane]]
*[[Tsukasa Amane]]
*[[Mifuyu Azusa]] - Mifuyu occupies as a special place, as she acts as a bridge between the Magius and the lower-ranking magical girls in the organization.

===Magius===
The superiors of the organization. It is known there are three of them.

====Known Magius====
*[[Alina Gray]]

'''Nagisa Momoe''' is a supporting character from ''[[Puella Magi Madoka Magica]]''. She first appeared as the witch Charlotte, before being properly introduced in the sequel ''[[Puella Magi Madoka Magica the Movie: Rebellion]]''.

==General info==
* '''Eye colour:''' Red and yellow.
* '''Hair colour:''' White.
* '''Japanese pronoun:''' {{nihongo|''Nagisa''|なぎさ|}}, {{nihongo|''watashi''|私|}}
* '''Soul gem:''' Most likely the white candy on her belt.
* '''Wish:''' Unconfirmed. [[Puella_Magi_Production_Note#Witch_of_cheesecake_.28early_concept_that_later_became_Charlotte.29|Puella Magi Production Note]] suggests it was for "one single cheesecake".
* '''Witch form:''' [[Charlotte]].
* '''Known relatives:''' Unconfirmed. [[Puella_Magi_Production_Note#Witch_of_cheesecake_.28early_concept_that_later_became_Charlotte.29|An early concept of Charlotte indicated she had a deceased mother]].
* '''School:''' Unknown.

==Personality==
Nagisa is usually rather childish, serving as the plucky and cheerful comic relief of the group, though she's shown to be more perceptive than she seems. She tends to speaks rather eloquently (ex. "Let me explain that from my own lips", "We were once bringers of hope, who despaired and spread our curses").

As Bebe, she is even more childish, often jumping around, and panicking at the thought of turning into cheese.

She is said to be very close with [[Mami Tomoe]].

From an interview with the character designer, Ume Aoki, regarding Nagisa: ''"At the beginning I was imagining her as the type to do things at her own pace, a little selfish, but once her speech patterns were determined I started to feel like all of that was part of her innocence and youth, and was able to draw her naturally."''<ref>http://feral-phoenix.livejournal.com/685568.html</ref>

==Story==
===Backstory===
Currently unknown. A section in [[Puella_Magi_Production_Note#Witch_of_cheesecake_.28early_concept_that_later_became_Charlotte.29|Puella Magi Production Note]] suggests she may have a mother who died from an illness, but the section is technically for an unused prototype witch.

===Nagisa in ''Madoka Magica''===
Nagisa technically appears in [[Episode 3]] as the witch Charlotte.

Nagisa is presumed to have been taken into Law of Cycles by [[Madoka]] at the [[Episode 12|end of the anime]].

===Nagisa in ''Rebellion''===
Prior to the beginning of ''Rebellion'', Madoka, [[Sayaka]] and Nagisa enter [[Homura]]'s witch barrier from the Law of Cycles. In order to stop Kyubey's plan to observe and control the Law of Cycles, Madoka entrusted her memories and powers to both Nagisa and Sayaka so they could reawaken her to save Homura at the right time. Nagisa later explains that she took the mission because she wanted to eat cheese again.

Once she enters Homura's barrier, Nagisa disguises herself as her witch form (which Kyubey would not recognize). The other characters call her Bebe. While disguised, she stays at Mami's house and helps the magical girls fight [[Nightmare]]s. The memory altering effects of the barrier causes Mami to believe that Bebe is her oldest friend. Although her own memories are unaffected, Nagisa seems to reciprocate Mami's friendship.

Eventually Homura begins to discover the truth of the false world and suspects Nagisa/Bebe as the culprit due to her appearance as Charlotte. Homura tries to interrogate Bebe, but is stopped by Mami. Bebe escapes as Mami and Homura fight each other. When the battle concludes, Sayaka helps Homura escape from Mami, and Nagisa returns to her human form. She apologizes to Mami for deceiving her and explains the truth to Mami.

Nagisa reappears as Bebe once Homura transforms into [[Homulilly]]. She transforms back into her human form and uses her weapon, an explosive bubble-blowing trumpet, to create cracks in Homulilly's barrier. Ultimately, the magical girls hold off Homulilly and her familiars long enough to break through the barrier, revealing the isolation field that Homura's soul gem was trapped in. Madoka calls out to Homura's remaining humanity and together they destroy the isolation field from within, foiling the Incubators' plot.

Once the barrier disappears, Ultimate Madoka descends from the sky along with a carriage containing both Sayaka and Nagisa. Madoka intends to take Homura into the Law of Cycles. However, Homura has been changed by her experiences in her barrier and thus grabs Madoka before she can take her soul gem. Homura then separates Madoka from the Law of Cycles and uses her new powers to rewrite reality. Nagisa is shown to be engulfed by the colors spilling out of Homura's soul gem and spreading to cover the universe.

In Homura's new reality, Nagisa is unable to return to the Law of Cycles. She is seen happily running about in her civilian outfit, implying that Homura has erased her memories of being a magical girl. It is also suggested Homura has suppressed her magical girl and witch powers, effectively turning Nagisa back into an ordinary human. Eventually Nagisa meets up with a group of kids her own age and leaves with them. It is implied that they are all going to school together.

At the end of the movie Mami saves Nagisa from falling packages of cheese, suggesting that they will become friends again in the new reality.

==Observations==
* Nagisa claims she came back as a secretary of Ultimate Madoka to eat cheese again. How true this is is currently unknown.
* She is said to have a child-like appearance.
* Her weapon is a trumpet styled like Charlotte, that can shoot bubbles powerful enough to put cracks in a witch's barrier.
* Her associated colour is possibly either white, brown or orange. Fan artists usually go with orange.
* Unlike the other magical girls in ''Madoka Magica'', Nagisa's hair, eyes and soul gem are not all the same colour.
* She seems to hate Kyubey, as she is seen snarling at him several times as Bebe.
* She can channel or change her form to and from Bebe (and by extension Charlotte's second form). She can also summon Charlotte's and other witches' familiars. The [[Pyotr]]s she summons don't do anything, but a [[Polina]] is seen helping Mami with her trapezes. This is because of special powers granted to her as a secretary of Ultimate Madoka, as well as being a part of the Law of Cycles.
** She rides on a [[Sebastian]] during the battle with Homulilly.
* Her magical girl design is near-identical to an initially-proposed beta outfit for Yuma.
* Nagisa's eye color pattern is possibly a form of heterochromia, a cosmetic disease that causes ones eyes to be multiple colors, called [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Heterochromia_iridum#Central_heterochromia Central Heterochromia]. Traditional heterochromia is usually seen in individuals whose each eye is a different color, however Nagisa's variation is an alternate that causes the eyes to change color near the iris of the eye. Most likely, though, it is just a reference to Charlotte's second form.

==Trivia==
* Nagisa's given name is written in hiragana and has no particular meaning.
** It can mean "beach" or "water's edge" when written in kanji (渚 or 汀). The "-sa" part can mean "sand" (沙 or 砂).
* The first character for Momoe (百) means "hundred", but also carries the connotation of "a lot of things". The second character (江) means "inlet" or "bay". "Momoe" could be translated as "a hundred rivers".
* Nagisa is voiced by Kana Asumi, who played Yuno in [[wikipedia:Hidamari_Sketch|Hidamari Sketch]]. [[NewType_2011-07|According to an interview]], [[Madoka Kaname]] is based on Yuno.
* In many languages, "bebe" means "baby". This fits with Mami's name, which is pronounced similar to "mommy".
* Nagisa's transformation starts with her saying "Parmigiano Reggiano!", a sort of cheese also known as parmesan.
* According with the "Puella Magi Production Note Rebellion - Inu Curry Image Note 2", Nagisa's magic is a horn that is supposed to make her more self-assertive and greedy because she regrets wishing for just a single cheesecake.

==Speculation==
{{Theory/Header|status=confirmed}}
* The most prominent speculation is that Nagisa is the magical girl form of [[Charlotte|Charlotte]]. It has been pointed out that Nagisa's bangs resemble part of Charlotte's forehead in doll form, and her pigtails resemble Charlotte's "ears" in both forms. Nagisa also has a similar color scheme to Charlotte, as she has white hair and wears clothing that is colored brown, red, and pink with polka dots. Finally, Nagisa has unusually colored eyes that are yellow in the center and red at the edge of each iris. This is similar to Charlotte's eyes in her larger form, which are colored blue near the center but then change to yellow and other colors. This theory was supported with the new trailer, showing Nagisa in her magical girl form which looks quite similar to Charlotte.
** [http://www.crunchyroll.com/anime-news/2013/10/09-1/movie-popcorn-flavor-might-suggest-madoka-magica-spoiler This article] shows that this speculation is even supported by popcorn.
{{Theory/Footer}}

{{Theory/Header|status=debunked}}
* Nagisa's white hair and unusually colored eyes have also drawn comparisons to Kyubey and Ultimate Madoka. There are speculations that Nagisa is an Incubator in human form, or some kind of manifestation of Madoka in the new world she created.
* Because the Faust legend references feature somewhat prominently in ''Madoka Magica'', and due to the new ending animation shown at the end of the first movie (the sequence had a pink silhouette holding another, smaller silhouette inside of it - much like a fetus), it is speculated that Nagisa may be the child of Ultimate Madoka. In Goethe's Faust, Gretchen was actually pregnant with Faust's baby and she was forced to murder her baby by drowning it. Evidence to support this theory is fairly obvious - Nagisa's own design (most prominently her face) looking very similar to Madoka's, much like how a child would resemble their parents to an extent.
* Nagisa's last name is similar to [[Mami Tomoe]]'s last name, as well as the given name of [[Kyoko Sakura]]'s sister [[Momo Sakura|Momo]]. This might indicate a connection with both characters. Evidence to support this is in the [http://i.imgur.com/gpb265D.jpg new theatrical release poster], where it depicts Nagisa attempting to hide behind Mami and in return, Mami is seemingly trying to hold her close.
* Because of the reading of her name 百江 (Momoe) = hundred rivers and なぎさ (Nagisa) = shore, it is speculated she could be the convergence of timelines.
* If Nagisa is connected to Madoka, Nagisa's magical girl form resembling a cat could reference Madoka's wish in the first timeline to save a cat.
** However, if Nagisa is associated with the Incubators, her magical girl form resembling a cat could reference the Incubators' cat/ferret-like appearance.
* Nagisa's given name could be a reference to Nagisa Misumi from the magical girl anime ''[[wikipedia:Pretty_Cure_(2004_TV_series)|Futari wa Pretty Cure]]''. It could also be a reference to Kaworu Nagisa from the anime ''[[wikipedia:Neon Genesis Evangelion|Neon Genesis Evangelion]]'' or Nagisa Furukawa from ''[[wikipedia:Clannad|CLANNAD]]''. All are likely for symbolic purposes: the first Nagisa is a magical girl, the second is speculated to be travelling through time loops in his canon's own reboot movies, and the third is saved by her love interest causing a similar time loop.
** Given the ending of ''Rebellion'', it can also be noted that in the movie version of ''CLANNAD'', the time loops were removed and attempts to save Nagisa failed...

*Shouldn't an animation of the runes proper be added to the page, rather than the animation of its translation? What I mean by that is having an animation of the runes as they appear in the ED be put in the "screencap" column (since ''that'' is the screencap) and the animation of its translation be in the "runes" column (since that shows the Japanese that is meant by the deciphered runes). I have also made note a long while before on the talk page of the [[:File:Runes Eternal Story ED English.png|translated version]] that there is one part of the translation that is incorrect, so perhaps a double-check of translation might be in order.

The green area is the barrier.

Painted green
No shadows in the green area
Becomes like a stuck-on 2D poster

緑の中を
とびまわってボールを追う。
Zooms around in the
green area and chases balls.

最後も逃げるというより
ボールを追いかけて
そのままどこかへ行ってしまう。
In the end, it's less like she's fleeing
and more like she's just chasing more balls
and scooting off somewhere.

彼女はまわりの人間を新しいボールへと変え、
おなかがすいたらボールを食べます。
どんなに新しいボールを手に入れても
彼女はあまり賢くないので
すぐになくしてしまいます。
彼女は一生
ボールを追いかけて
います。
She changes the humans around her into new balls,
and eats the balls if she gets hungry.
No matter how many new balls she gets, though,
because she isn't that bright,
she loses them immediately.
She chases after balls throughout her whole life.

== Witch of cheesecake (early concept that later became Charlotte) ==
Translation for [[:Media:Cheesecake_witch_cropped.png|this]], which is a part of [[:Media:Image_Note_0067.jpg|this page]].

ヨワイマジョ
Weak witch
ワンホール・チーズケーキ
One-whole cheesecake

「とてもおいしいチーズケーキ。
死にかけのお母さんが食べたがっていたの。
でも、もしかすると、お母さんの病気でも
治してあげたらよかったカスラ。
けれと、きっとそれはそおいうことでもないのダワ。」
"It's really a delicious cheesecake.
My dying mother wanted to eat it.
But, perhaps, I should have
cured her disease instead.
However, that surely wasn't possible."

The witch of dessert in the main series

After turning into a witch, the only
thing her magic cannot make is cheese,
and she became a very strong witch.

== Does this say the birthdays of the characters? ==

I was randomly browsing for one of the characters (be it images, sites... etc) and something called my attention,
MyAnimeList marks the birthdays of the characters saying the source is from Production Note
My question is: Is this true?
Quick links:
http://myanimelist.net/character/38005/Homura_Akemi

http://myanimelist.net/character/38395/Sayaka_Miki

http://myanimelist.net/character/40006/Kyouko_Sakura

http://myanimelist.net/character/38194/Mami_Tomoe

:No, there's nothing in the Production Note for character birth date or blood type in it. The only one we know is Madoka's from [[100_Questions]]. The Production Note has two books. One is the Inu Curry "Image Note," which only has witch sketches, storyboards, etc. Nothing on the characters. The other book, there's been pretty much every character page posted either on this page or the [[Puella_Magi_Madoka_Magica_Art_Book|Art Book]], and as you can see, there's nothing that resembles that kind of character data on them. It's all directions related to how to draw them and so on. I don't know why people are claiming this..I've also seen false exact heights given for characters when the only thing we know is [[:Media:PN_10.jpg|height ranges]], except for Madoka. --[[User:Randomanon|randomanon]] 06:53, 16 December 2011 (UTC)

::I see, thanks for the information!--[[Special:Contributions/84.77.58.17|84.77.58.17]] 07:06, 16 December 2011 (UTC)

== "Book" ==

There's this translator note:
<blockquote>Up front there's Book-style stars. [TN: The word 'Book', written in English, appears on several similar design pages. It may indicate the use of a unique art style.]</blockquote>
The word "Book" means part of background that's projected above the background itself (i.e. it appears in a layer above character animation frames). Something like a scene around 19:15 or 19:25 in episode 1 or crayons in episode 5 (at 16:58 mark). I'm not sure how to call it in English though. --[[User:0x99|0x99]] 20:49, 10 March 2012 (UTC)

:Oh, that makes sense. Thank you very much. --[[User:Neuchadjinys|Neuchadjinys]] 21:04, 10 March 2012 (UTC)

==Rebellion Production Note==

The Rebellion Production Note has been out for a while, and a page has not yet been made for it. I have clear scans that I can upload, but I have been having a hard time finding the information that has been translated from them. I only know of some pages that have been translated by people on the forums, but most has still not been translated (to my knowledge). As the page for the Rebellion Production Note is started and being worked on, I'd suggest adding the newly translated information when we find it.

The Rebellion Story/Spoiler

2014-11-07T01:14:53Z

AntMan9751: /* Gone mad from the revelation? */

{{spoilers}}

== Spoilers ==
[[File:Summary of what happened from each character's perspective.png|thumb|right|150px|A decent summary of what happened from each character's perspective.]]
* Before the movie starts, it asks the audience to please not to make spoilers.
* [[Kyoko Sakura]] and [[Sayaka Miki]] live together
* [[Nagisa Momoe]] is [[Charlotte]].
* [[Hitomi Shizuki]] became a [[Nightmare]] and then was turned back into human form.
* [[Homura Akemi]] becomes something more powerful than "Madokami".
* For some reason at the end of the movie, besides Madoka (partially) and Homura, the only Mahou Shoujo who remembers everything that happened in the movie is Sayaka.
*Sayaka transforms into Oktavia and is able to control her witch form.
*Homura takes over Madoka's responsibilities and her powers, replacing the "Law of Cycles" with her own rules. Technically, Homura dethroned Madoka ending her era of reign, hence the title of "Rebellion".
*While Homura is addressed as the devil by fans/fansubs, the official translation for what Homura calls herself at the end of the movie is Demon, not Devil.
**Homura calls herself ''Akuma'' because she sees herself as a existence that opposes God. Considering that, the translation that fits the most is "devil."
**Demon in Japanese is 悪魔 which is read akuma. The Japanese word akuma means "Demon, Devil; Fiend; Satan; Evil spirit" and is composed of the kanji 悪 (read aku) meaning "evil; bad; wrong" and 魔 (read ma) meaning "witch; demon; evil spirit".
*The first take on Homura's dialogue before the ending of the movie sounds completely different from the final product in terms of emotions. Homura's tone and feelings were toned down, as she sounded "too emotional".

*Just like in the Anime series, Kyubey's greed and plan backfired spectacularly. He tried to capture Madoka with a barrier of his own (after being told of her existence by Homura), but instead it helped Homura to become a much more powerful entity in the process.
*Looking back, "[[Magia]]" lyrics takes a much darker undertone.
**Homura's greedy yearning has no tomorrow.
**Homura's desire for a spell to fight the "sorrow" before her eyes [Madoka's selflessness].
**Madoka is a dreaming memory, only Homura is awake.
**Homura wants an endless dream for both of them.
**Homura's wish literally becomes everything in the new universe.
*Colourful (カラフル ''[[Colorful|karafuru]]'') by ClariS, gives us a hint of what is to come:
**four girls dancing and having fun
**Homura won't join in
**only reaches her hand to grasp Madoka's
**Madoka's hand turns to sand, Homu stands alone in a desert area with a throne
**[[:file:Unknown op homura rebellion.jpg|Devil's earring]] sinking in the sand (?)
*[[Homulilly]]'s appearance in ''Rebellion'' differs greatly from her original appearance in the PSP game. She appears as a huge, distorted version of Homura, with the upper half of her head replaced by a red spider lily. Her minions are twisted versions of the pigtailed Homura from the first few timelines, armed with spears. The long ribbons of the witch's dress act as flexible arms, attacking everything around her.
**The witch's hands are in manacles, and a giant guillotine rises from the ground when she begins to head towards the city. It appears that the witch is trying to reach the guillotine so she can sacrifice herself, which would free everyone else from her witch barrier. This is foreshadowed by an image of Mami and Kyoko beheading Homura in a similar guillotine as she begins to transform into Homulilly.
**The witch initially appears wearing a stereotypical witch's hat which resembles a record player, possibly as a reference to her PSP appearance, but quickly discards it to reveal the red spider lily underneath.
**Red spider lilies also appear when Homura realises she has become a witch.
**The witch has two additional types of minions: minions that resemble human girls (possibly representing fallen magical girls, they were much stronger than other minions in battle) and purple bird-like minions. Interestingly, these minions can still be seen in the new universe, and Homura still seems to be able to control them to an extent. It's unclear why Homura chose to keep her minions, since she claims she is no longer a witch.
**Homura appears to be masking the true forms of her minions in the new universe; in one scene Kyoko is seen feeding apples to the bird-like minions, apparently believing them to be normal birds.
*Sayaka is the only character (apart from Homura) who retains the memories of the previous world.
**In the MadoVerse of the anime series, Sayaka was allowed to retain her memories so she could express her opinion and pass away peacefully with no regrets. In the version of the HomuVerse in "Rebellion" Sayaka is allowed to retain her memories (and her life) so she can express her displeasure and opinion against Homura's actions.
*Ms. Kazuko makes a reference to the coming of an important Holiday in a foreign land and its connection to the end of the world. It is highly possible that she is referring to the [http://www.sonoma.edu/users/v/vegalu/eschatology_files/Chanukah.pdf November 28, 2013 Hanukkah comet], the [http://www.redmoonrapture.com/2014-2015.html 2014-2015 Jewish Holidays], and the [http://www.pray4zion.org/TheComingBloodMoons.html return of the Biblical Savior.]
*Prior to the movie events and at the beginning of the anime series, the universe was first 'Atheistic' (the Mahou Shoujo system was in place and there was no concept of hope, it was ruled by despair), after the anime series ended the universe went to a transformation and became 'Monoistic' (Madoka became the concept of hope and put in place the Law of Cycles). "Rebellion" expands the universe by transforming it once again, and introducing a 'Dualism' system in place. If Madoka represents the concept of hope (selfless love), then Homura represent the concept of love (selfish love).
**However, the system is neither equal nor fair. Madoka's powers are repressed and she is a prisoner in the new reality, indicating that these two powers cannot rule equally. There can only be one ruling entity, which is why Homura tells Madoka that they are [[:file:Homucifer Vs Madokami.jpg|enemies.]]
*If the message from the anime series, was a message of hope. Then message from "Rebellion" is its opposite.
**Urobuchi wasnt kidding when he said fans would hate the new ending, [[:file:2 people before and after watched Madoka movie.jpg|look what it did to these fans.]]
**In the MadoVerse, the message was one of hope, Madoka allowed the universe to retain their free will and she respected the wishes of magical girls so as not to rob them of their sacrifice, the world was not prefect but it was much better than under the old system. But the HomuVerse is assumed to be the opposite. It is deceptively peaceful and happy, Homura was only able to create this universe by robbing Madoka of her free will, erasing her memory, and denying Madoka's wish of salvation thus rending Madoka's message of hope meaningless. Not only that but for Homura to be able to sustain this new reality, she extended her barrier to cover the whole universe, probably as a way to have it under her influence to guarantee that it doesn't create a reason for Madoka to sacrifice herself again.
*Some observers think that at the end Homura is slightly going mad, that it is the beginning of her descend into madness.
*The BGM played in each girl's transformation sequence references a song from the original soundtrack:
**Mami: Salve terrae magicae
**Kyouko: Venari strigas
**Sayaka: Decretum
**Homura: Puella in somnio
**Madoka: Sagitta luminis
*There are a lot of [[wikipedia:Grimms'_Fairy_Tales|Grimm Fairy Tales]] allusions:
**Homura as Sleeping Beauty.
**The pumpkin carriage
**The clock struck at 12.
*''"God is dead"'' is a widely quoted statement by German philosopher [[wikipedia:Friedrich_Nietzsche|Friedrich Nietzsche]].
*According with Shinbou, the Madoka inside Homura's world is the real Madoka, ''"who has lost her memories of becoming a god. She’s not a fake or Homura’s creation. What she says in the field of flowers is what she’s really feeling at the time. That scene may seem overly sentimental at first glance, but if you think of everything Homura does afterward, her feelings will come across more easily."''[http://feral-phoenix.livejournal.com/685568.html#|]
*At the bus station there are signs written in runes, [[:file:Rebellion Runes - 011113 - sign.jpg|they mention the Nutcracker]]. A possible reference to [[wikipedia:The_Nutcracker_and_the_Mouse_King|The Nutcracker and the Mouse King]], a 19th century German story by E. T. A. Hoffman.
**As the Nutcracker Witch, Homully has no teeth or her teeth are familiars that chew for her. In dream interpretation, falling teeth has several significant meanings:[http://dreammoods.com/cgibin/teethdreams.pl?method=exact&header=dreamid&search=teethintro]
***It reflects anxiety, a fear of rejection, sexual impotence or the consequences of getting old. Another interpretation is that teeth are used to bite, tear, chew and gnaw. In this regard, teeth symbolize power. And the loss of teeth in a dream may be from a sense of powerlessness.
***A scriptural interpretation for bad or falling teeth indicates that one is putting one's faith, trust, and beliefs in what humans thinks, rather than in the word of God.
***Many cultures, including the Hispanic and Greek cultures, believe that when you dream about loose, rotten, falling, or missing teeth, then it indicates that a family member or close friend is very sick or even near death.
**It is possible that teeth may be a reference to the [[:wikipedia:Tooth_fairy|Tooth Fairy]]. Unlike Santa Claus and, to a lesser extent, the Easter Bunny, there are few details of the tooth fairy's appearance that are consistent in various versions of the myth. Usually in the West the tooth fairy is depicted as female, a type a fairy with wings. However, in Spanish and Hispanic American cultures the role of the tooth fairy is relegated to the [[:wikipedia:Ratoncito_Pérez|Ratoncito Pérez]] (or Ratón Pérez, "Pérez Mouse" in English)) that originated in Madrid in 1894. As is traditional in some English-speaking countries, when a child loses a tooth it is customary for him or her to place it under the pillow, so that Ratoncito Pérez will exchange it for a gift. The tradition is almost universal in Spanish cultures, but takes different forms in different areas. One of the roles of Homulilly's familiars is to kill "the white rat" (which is Kyubey), perhaps this is a reference to the Ratoncito Pérez.
**The nuts could be a reference to Grief Seeds, as they look like nuts.
**Homulilly's familiars are called "Clara dolls", Clara is the lead character's name in most of [[:wikipedia:The_Nutcracker|The Nutcracker]] ballet versions and there is the reference to [[:file:Witches Artwork 04.jpg|killing rats]] in one of the familiar's card.
***[[:file:Nutcracker set designs.jpg|A relevant set]] from that play by [[:wikipedia:E. T. A. Hoffmann|E. T. A. Hoffmann]]
*Usually victims must enter a Witch's barrier to fall under their trap. However, it is speculated that Homura's Clara Dolls kidnapped specific targets and brought them into Homura's barrier. Only those specific individuals are allowed to enter.
*This is the third time that Homura got beaten by Mami. The first two times happened in the Anime series the same way with Mami's magical ribbons, getting entangled by Mami's ribbons is one of Homura's weaknesses. The only reason she broke free was because Homura took a huge gamble that could have cost her life.
*A '''mare''' or [[:wikipedia:Mare_(folklore)|'''nightmare''']] (Proto-Germanic: ''*marōn''; Old English: ''mære''; Old Norse: ''mara''; German: ''Nachtmahr'') is an evil spirit or goblin in Germanic folklore which rides on people's chests while they sleep, bringing on bad dreams (or "nightmares"). The mare is often similar to the mythical creatures [[:wikipedia:Succubus|succubus]] and [[:wikipedia:Incubus_(demon)|incubus]], and was likely inspired by sleep paralysis.
**The mare was also believed to "ride" horses, which left them exhausted and covered in sweat by the morning. She could also entangle the hair of the sleeping man or beast, resulting in ''"marelocks"'', called ''marflätor'' "mare-braids" or ''martovor'' "mare-tangles" in Swedish or ''marefletter'' and ''marelokker'' in Norwegian.
**Hungarian folklorist [[:wikipedia:Éva_Pócs|Éva Pócs]] traces the core term back to the Greek word μόρος ''moros'', "death".
**According to [[:wikipedia:Paul_Devereux|Paul Devereux]], mares included witches who took on the form of animals when their spirits went out while they were in trance. Animals such as frogs, cats, horses, hares, dogs, oxen, birds and often bees and wasps.
**It is interesting to note that ''mara'', besides being a root-word for nightmare, is also the name of a [[wikipedia:Mara_(demon)|Buddhist deity analogous to the devil]]. Although this may be a coincidence, Homura does ascend to become a Mara-like figure at the end of ''Rebellion''.
*When Kyubey keeps Homura inside an Incubator's isolation field, he compares Homura to a baby chick, ''"you're a like a chick that wasn't able to break its shell and grew up within it."''
**In [[:wikipedia:Revolutionary_Girl_Utena|Revolutionary Girl Utena]], Touga Kiryuu utters [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dwud_XQGjhQ a same sentiment about the students and the world.]
**Even if this was just an observational opinion regarding Homura's entrapment within the field. It can also be interpreted as a observational point regarding Homura's emotional state of mind. Homura keeps her emotions bottle up and in check, as away to avoid despair and a sense of hopelessness. As a result one could interpret Homura's behavior as a fear of getting hurt by hiding her real emotions, forced to mature mentally and rapidly in a way to survive her ordeal at the cost of not being able to properly develop a healthy emotional growth in a well adjusted environment.

== Speculation ==
[[File:Map of the changed timelines or worlds raw.jpg|right|thumb|Map of the new world]]
*Homura becomes the opposite existence of Madoka.
**The new entity known as Homura is neither a magical girl nor a Witch. She is neither the product of hope/wish nor despair, she is the product of love.
***According with Homura, it was not grief that stained her Soul Gem, it was love, because her mind was always focused on Madoka.
*** More precisely, Homura says that what tainted her Soul Gem ''changed'' from being a curse. It's possible that Homura's new power came from Kyubey's Isolation Field, which not only prevented Homura from being taken by the Law of Cycles but also prevented her despair from breaking out of her Soul Gem and becoming a Grief Seed. Unable to burst out of it's shell, Homura's grief entered a new state, like how carbon becomes diamond under high pressure.
*Some observers suggest that the ending theme "Your Silver Garden" (君の銀の庭 ''[[Kimi no Gin no Niwa]]'') is about Homura and her reasons that she betrayed Madoka.
**''"The guardian/of your young slumber—/The gateway to adulthood is tightly shut"'', this is interpreted as Homura's refusal to grow up and her attempt to her childish sleep.
**''"Have you realized/that the truth/always lies in the past?/All futures and hope/are but a selfish story/envisioned by someone in a distant garden"'', this is interpreted to mean that the future is uncertain and unknown, that the past is much more pleasing.
**''"Stay softly with me,/please don't leave me/Chirp your song by my window,/even in loss"'', this is interpreted as Homura telling Madoka not to go, even if she becomes her prisoner.
*It is speculated that even when a magical girl becomes a witch, she still has her consciousness, although such consciousness is distorted and has much difference from the reality.
*There were numerous references to a "black salamander/lizard" motive throughout the movie, with the most obvious being Homura's earring shaped as a black lizard.
**One of the most common myths about lizards is that they symbolize death and resurrection.
**In Christian ideology the lizard is a more ambivalent symbol. All reptiles can be viewed as paler versions of the potent symbol represented by the snake or serpent. Taken alone on it's own merits the lizard is said to represent "contemplative ecstasy"[http://www.hennapage.com/journal/issue_I/article_2/page2.html]
**The salamander represents those who pass through the fires of passion and of this world without stain. Therefore, it stands for chastity, loyalty, impartiality, virginity, courage, Jesus, Mary, and the faithful. The salamander is also used to symbolize the flames, which it passes through, and so is a symbol of fire, temptation, and burning desire. It was considered the "king of fire" and as such was representative of Christ who would baptize with the flames of the Holy Spirit. Cloquet considers Christ the salamander king of fire because he passed through the fires of hell after his crucifixion without harm.[http://monsters.monstrous.com/salamander.htm] It should be noted Homura's name can be translated as "flame".
**Some prevalent symbolism of the salamander include:[http://www.symbolic-meanings.com/2008/03/04/light-my-fire-symbolism-of-the-salamander/]
***Energy
***Courage
***Renewal
***Determination
***Resurrection
***Balance
***Adaptation
***Spirituality
**The salamander gets it solar animal status from several sources. Primarily, we see this aspect in ancient alchemical illustrations where the salamander is depicted in flames. Alchemists held the salamander to be a fire-eater and able to quench fire with its cool, moist body. In the alchemical philosophy, anything that had the power to transform something into something else was hugely important.
***Furthermore, early Christianity held the salamander as a symbol of spiritual integrity, chastity, and righteousness. The sign of the salamander indicated true faith, and the ability to survive the “fire of temptation.”
****Medieval and heraldic art depicted the salamander as a symbol for bravery. It was often painted in the background of heroic portraits to indicate the mark of courage.
*Remember Homura's original wish? ''"I want to redo my meeting with Madoka. But this time, instead of her protecting me, I want to become strong enough to protect her!"''
**Originally it was interpreted as the wish that allowed Homura to travel back in time to redo her meeting with Madoka, it also meant that there was a role reversal with Homura becoming stronger and active while Madoka became a weaker character and took a more passive role. That was the original intent. However, with the new ending in "Rebellion", the meaning and purpose of Homura's wish takes a new role and it probably expands its meaning. If we consider the ending of the series, one can make the argument that Homura's wish was only partially fulfilled but that in the end it failed, because Homura failed to protect Madoka. Not only from stopping Madoka from becoming a Witch, but also from stopping her from taken the burden of becoming the concept of hope, as a result one can say that Homura's wish went unfulfilled and it was a failure. Until the end of "Rebellion" that is, in the movie we see that Homura's wish has finally come to its conclusion by allowing Homura to become a new entity whose role is to protect and guard Madoka's happiness, at the expense of the Law of Cycles and against Madoka's wishes. A clear proof that the role reversal is finally complete is when Madoka is introduced as a shy transfer student and Homura shows her around the school, a complete reversal from the original series.
***If one thinks about it, Kyubey has been done in not by one but by two wishes!
***You could say that Homura just did what Madoka asked her to do. The reason that Homura became a magical girl was because she wanted to protect Madoka. In the 2nd timeline, Madoka even asked her to stop her foolish self from becoming a magical girl. In the last timeline she failed, and Madoka became a god-like entity. At the end, Homura returns everything to 'normal' so she kept her promise, more or less. Whatever reality looks like, Madoka is now safe from QB and from despair.
*If the anime series was based on "Faust", then "Rebellion" could be based somewhat on "Paradise Lost".
*It is speculated that the reason Homura made Madoka human again is because Madoka was not happy with being the entity of hope, she only did it out of duty.
**Another possible explanation, is that Homura feared what would Kyubey do if he succeeded in capturing Madoka, the best way to deal with him was for Homura and Madoka to switch, taking Madoka's power and Making Homura the new ruling entity of the universe.
*It is also speculated that by making Madoka as transfer student, Homura may have a chance to get closer to Madoka more than Sayaka was. Remember, Sayaka and Madoka had been childhood friends long before in EVERY Timeline, and Homura was only a transferred student to Madoka.
** Also Homura may have tried to improve Madoka's English since she got bad grades in previous timelines.
*Since Madoka can see and know the past, present, and future, she should have known this was going to happen to her.
**That can't be true, because Madokami literally screamed and asked Homura to stop. And she would never try to reawake later. Madoka felt uncomfortable in Homura's world, because Homura supressed her.
**It is possible she allowed for things to unfold as it was predestined to happen.
***Another possible explanation is that perhaps Madoka really wanted to be a normal girl again.
***Or perhaps Madoka saw no other way to save Homura.
***It's also possible that losing her memories of the event right afterwards created a blank spot in her future sight.
*** There's another possible explanation. Madoka exists at every point in space and time. However, the moment Homura grabs her breaks time and space and changes the past and future. In other words, even from Madoka's omniscient perspective Homura grabbing at the critical moment hasn't happened yet.
****That doesn't make any sense. If Madoka existed at every point of time, Homura, Mami, Kyouko would be already taken to the law of cycles somewhen in future. Homura, Kyouko would never be separated from Madoka, Sayaka. But they clearly aren't in the law of cycles yet. So that means certain future doesn't exist. And it perfectly explains why Madoka didn't see Homura's actions, and she was probably just trying to calm down Homura in 12th episode by stating that she would never be alone.
** '''Actually''' the truth is simple! Remember, Madoka is omniscient because she exists in all of space and time. Kyubey's Isolation Field actually blocked Madoka from reaching Homura's Soul Gem...but what the show doesn't say is that ''it also blocked Madoka's omniscience!'' Since Madoka can't enter Homura's Soul Gem, she does not have absolute knowledge of what will happen. And when she does enter the Soul Gem, she loses her memories, her powers, and ''she's not experiencing all of time at once''; she appears in the form of a human, living time linearly. And when the Isolation Field is broken, Madoka regains her memories and powers...but not her omniscience because ''she's still in the form of a human, living time linearly''! (That's why Mami and Kyoko could see her.) Thus, Madoka couldn't predict Homura's actions at all! And it was all Kyubey's fault! (Heck, he's the one who told Homura that if Madoka can be observed, she can be interfered with...)
*The children of the fake city repeatedly say "Fort! Da!" right before Homura realizes she's a witch.
**"Fort!" and "Da!" are exclamations that Sigmund Freud heard his grandson Ernst utter while playing. This pair of words—meaning "Gone!" and "There!"—has become shorthand for repetition in early childhood, and for the primary processes that such behavior mobilizes.[http://www.answers.com/topic/fort-da]
***This is interpreted as the children of the fake city finding pleasure in making things go away and then finding them again, the Clara Dolls represent Homura's personality.
*Homura ([[Homulilly]]) maybe have a connection to [[wikipedia:Lilith|Lilith]], from the Old Testament[http://cishet.tumblr.com/post/65623363997/happy-halloween-lets-talk-about-homulily].
**Lilith is a pre-Christian, Babylonian demon, the most powerful of all succubus, who seduces man, deceives women, and steals children. She, working alongside with the incubus, impregnates mortals to propagate a new race call cambion. Christianity identifies the Lilith with the snake of the Garden of Eden, and also as Adam's first wife in an effort to reconcile the two origin stories in Genesis.
*By making Madoka a transfer student, Madoka's and Sayaka's childhood friendship never took place to develop. How will this affect their current relationship is hard to say.
** Various materials have established that Sayaka and Madoka were childhood friends. While it's likely that they would have still been friends as children in Homura's new world, Madoka moving to America probably strained their friendship.
*To protect Madoka and her secrets Homura wanted to die, so she tried to prevent Madoka from purifying her Soul Gem as it would mean that Kyubey would be able to observe and learn of Madoka's secrets and her powers so they could control her in the future.
**If Homura in her Witch form were to die inside the barrier, theoretically Homulilly's barrier would collapse and that would free Madoka and company from Homura's dream world.
*During the scene with the field of flowers, Madoka is trying to braid Homura's hair back into Homura's old hair style, perhaps an attempt to regress Homura back into her innocent and shy self.
**Homura gives back to Madoka her red ribbon, not only as a sign of returning something precious to her, but perhaps it is an attempt to reclaim back the old Madoka from the past, a regular and normal girl.
***In the ending scene, this gesture signifies Homura's realization that she cannot control Madoka regardless of whatever world she creates that they can be together and that her actions, which led to her descent into darkness, will inevitably lead to a struggle between them. This is a reverse mirror of the actions of Madoka trying to braid Homura's hair in the witch world, an attempt at conformity and acceptance of peace and harmony albeit constructed and false, except that with Homura tying Madoka's hair with the red ribbon she is restoring her true identity. Homura also acknowledges this by commenting that the red ribbons "really do look best on you" (a symbol of Madoka's true self) as compared to the yellow ribbons (her false identity created by Homura). Viewers should note that she cries when stating this, knowing that eventually Madoka will break away from the world and become her enemy. The final scene after the credits shows Homura smiling at her transformed Soul Gem (her new identity as an antithesis to Madoka) upon realizing that her wish to always be with Madoka has come true albeit in a cruel twisted fashion. Madoka who represents light and Homura who represents darkness are now natural opposing forces in the universe.
*During the post-credit sequence the Moon is missing half of its part (notice the light of the stars shining where they shouldnt be), the moon is physically cut off somehow. Indicating that something is amiss.
**At the same scene, at the top of a cliff we see [[:file:Chairs rebellion.png|Homura sitting on a single chair]], the scene is similar to the Opening of Madoka Magica movies ([[Luminous]]). But instead, just like the moon, we only see half of the field and only a single chair, with no Madoka next to Homura.
***While Homura was tilting her head in the chair, some fans suggest she was imagining Madoka was there, and then when she was looking behind her in the direction of the rustling grass, some fans suggest she was hoping to see Madoka approaching her.
* Near the end of the movie, some Clara Dolls can be seeing jumping off from a cliff, close to its edge we can see a large row of scattered shoes around. It is speculated that this is a symbolic image for in Japan those that attempt suicide tend to remove their shoes first before jumping/hanging themselves. We saw the same thing happen in the Madoka series with the [[Minor_Characters#Office_Lady|office lady]] when she took off her shoes before jumping from a building.
** You would notice the Clara Dolls are not wearing shoes when jumping.
* In the post-credits Kyubey emerges from some plants, looking healthy. Homura pulls out her gem and they start dancing. When we next see Kyubey he looks disheveled and even seems to be quivering, suggesting that Homura has somehow affected his mind. It's possible that Homura is actually placing all the curses and despair of the world onto Kyubey, both as revenge and to ensure that the curses cannot affect anyone else. One might say Kyubey is finally paying for all the things he has done.
*As Homura sat on the chair overlooking the cliff with the corpse of a Kyubey close to her, it invoked the imagery of the [[:wikipedia:The_Fool_(Tarot_card)|fool from the tarot cards]]. In tarot the fool is shown as a young man, walking unknowingly toward the brink of a precipice and he appears to be getting chased away by an animal, either a dog or a cat. According with the symbolism, ''"the fool is the spirit in search to a new journey and new experiences. He represents cleverness bereft of reason within us, the childlike ability to tune into the inner workings of the world. The sun shining behind him represents the divine nature of the Fool's wisdom and exuberance, holy madness or 'crazy wisdom'. On his back are all the possessions he might need. In his hand there is a flower, showing his appreciation of beauty. He is frequently accompanied by a dog, sometimes seen as his animal desires, sometimes as the call of the "real world", nipping at his heels and distracting him. He is seemingly oblivious that he is walking toward a precipice, apparently about to step off."''
*It is speculated that the Clara Dolls are aspects and characteristics of Homura's personality. Love, the last of the Clara Dolls remains unopened in her package. It is speculated that the reason is that Homura wont let go of her love.
**It is possible that there is a similarity to the myth of [[:wikipedia:Pandora|Pandora's box]]. In the Myth "hope" is entrapped in a box, suggesting that either hope has been denied to humanity and made prisoner; or hope has been kept in the box as a way to retain hope for humanity. Similarly, "Madoka" has been kept a prisoner inside of Homura's world, some have interpreted this as a way to deny the world of Madoka's hope, but it can also be interpreted as Homura's way to safeguard Madoka's hope away from Kyubey's nefarious plans.
*It is suspected that if Homura hadn't interfere, the ending of the movie would involve [[Yuri_undertones#Manga_Difference:_The_Miracle|MadoKami taking Homura to Heaven with her]], [[:file:161.jpg|similar to the manga]].
*During the movie sequence the city's aqueducts are encircled to form what looks like the [[:file:Tower of babel rebellion aqueduct.png|Tower of Babel.]]

===Fallen Angel Homura:===

Since Homura declares to Madoka that they are enemies, this makes her her opponent as Homura opposes Madoka's will and her wishes. One can view this as Homura fallen into the role of the devil for going against what Madoka believes to be right.

'''Satan in Judaism:''' The original Hebrew term, satan, is a noun from a verb meaning primarily to, “obstruct, oppose,”. Satan is traditionally translated as “the accuser,” or “the adversary.” In Judaism, Satan is a term used since its earliest biblical contexts, to refer to a human opponent. Thus, Satan is personified as a character in three different places, serving as an accuser, a seducer, or as a heavenly persecutor who is "among the sons of God". In any case, Satan is always subordinate to the power of God, having a role in the divine plan.

'''Satan in Christianity:''' Christian tradition and theology changed "Satan" from an accuser appointed by God to test men's faith to God's godlike fallen opponent: "the Devil". Traditionally, Christians have understood the Devil to be the author of lies and promoter of evil'. However, the Devil can go no further than the word of Christ the Logos allows, [[wikipedia:Problem_of_evil#Christianity|resulting in the problem of evil']].

As Lucifer's or Satan's motive for rebelling and as the nature of his sin, Christian writers mention pride against God or, less often, envy of humanity created in the image of God. According to Tertullian the Devil was jealous of humans, created in the divine image and given authority over the world, and an 18th-century French Capuchin preacher, citing Tertullian and Augustine as giving envy as the motive for the fall, describes the Rebel Angel as jealous of Adam's exaltation, which he saw as a diminution of his own status.

'''Satan in Islam''': In Islam the Devil is known as Iblīs or Shayṭān, it has no name corresponding in meaning to that of the Latin word lucifer. Iblis is banished from heaven for refusing to prostrate himself before Adam. Thus, he sins after the creation of man. He then swears revenge by tempting human beings and turning them away from God. While in Judaism and Christianity, Satan is a fallen angel, Iblis is a jinn. Muslims believe that angels are the servants of God and cannot disobey him, but jinn, like men, can choose to obey or disobey.

'''Satan in Luciferianism''': Luciferianism is a belief system that venerates the essential characteristics that are affixed to Lucifer. The tradition, influenced by Gnosticism, usually reveres Lucifer not as the Devil, but as a liberator or guiding spirit, or even the true god as opposed to Jehovah.

'''Satan in Satanism''': Satanic groups have various opinions about Satan, ranging from the conviction that he exists and ought to be worshipped, to Anton Szandor LaVey's symbolic interpretation, which emphasizes individual will and pleasure-seeking.

====The Comparison to Lucifer====
While the comparison between Homura and the devil/Lucifer seems inevitable, we have to avoid the temptation of falling into the false logic that the comparison is without its flaws.

Jealousy

In one story it is stated that Lucifer was jealous of the human race, that they were not worthy and undeserving of God's love.

The argument states that Homura has done a lot for Madoka, sacrificing so much for her, and helping her ascend into a higher plane existence. As a result, Homura should be worthy of Madoka's love and praise. The reason that Homura sacrificed so much for Madoka is because she loves her. Homura put ups with so much suffering because of her, yet Madoka, instead of reciprocating Homura's feelings, she cannot help but to love everyone equally. As a result Madoka avoids picking up favorites. The argument is that Homura was jealous of Madoka's unconditional love for everyone, and this lead us to assume that Homura believes herself to be worthy of being Madoka's favorite and explains the reason why Homura went against Madoka's wishes.

However, this argument has a terrible flaw. It assumes that Homura's actions were driven by jealousy, yet there is no indication that this is the case. While is true that Madoka loves everyone equally, and perhaps Homura wished for Madoka to be a bit more selfish and stop thinking about others at the expense of her own self, there is no indication of jealousy against anyone. Homura didnt expect special treatment from Madoka, she was quite happy with Madoka's relationship already (except when there was a distance between them that took place because of the time reset in the anime series). If anything, Homura wanted Madoka to be able to live happily for her own sake at the expense of abandoning her duties and obligations toward others.

Pride

Lucifer was the first of Angels and chief among them, Archangel Michael was only second to him, Lucifer's devotion to God was not only driven by love but also by pride. God's love for humanity was troubling for Lucifer, for he couldnt comprehend why such an inferior creature should receive such equal love and worthy praise from God, as if making them equals to him. As a result of this friction Lucifer rebelled.

However, just like the jealousy argument the pride argument falls flat. While is true that Homura became stronger to please Madoka, she also did it to help her out of pure devotion to her, not out of pride. Not only that, but Homura's devotion for Madoka never turned her into an arrogant or prideful character. There may have been moments of something like pride and moments of stubbornness, but nothing to indicate to be egotistical in nature. When Homura's goal felt short, she did not despair out of arrogance nor she boasted hubris in her accomplishments. Instead she was too focused on Madoka and her well being.

Disobedience

This argument seems to fit with the Lucifer argument, that Lucifer went against God's wishes, that he went against God's plan for humanity, so did Homura and as result it makes them to be the same. But this argument seems to overlook motive behind Homura's actions. Lucifer's actions were driven by personal ambition, pride, or even jealousy, as stated previously. But Homura's motives behind her actions are the opposite, she did it because she cared for Madoka too much, she wanted to free Madoka from the burdens of being a prisoner to her duties and her devotion and love for others. She also did it to protect Madoka from Kyubey, the complete opposite of Lucifer's intentions. The only reason Homura is Madoka's enemy is because of their opposite views about what is best for Madoka.

Devil's advocate

Homura's motivations and beliefs don't demonstrate a pattern of similar behavior to that of Lucifer's. Lucifer was jealous of humans; Homura wasn't jealous of anyone. Lucifer was boastful, prideful, and arrogant; Homura was stubborn, and she never surrendered under pressure but only because she did it for Madoka's sake, not for her own interest. Homura disagreed with Madoka's plan because it came down to sacrificing Madoka's happiness for everyone else's. The problem with the Lucifer comparison is that the concept is too broad with some of the elements. It has similarities but the minor details tells a different story. Lucifer was a selfish and jealous angel/demon, and he wanted to take God down so he could rule in his stead, ''"Better to reign in Hell, than serve in Heaven."'' God's happiness was never a factor. Other than dethroning Madoka, going against her wishes, and perhaps loving her too much, the comparison seems to be a bit unfair but understandable.
*We know from the series that the power of the wish and it's intent slowly turn on you, like Sayaka's love for Kyousuke eventually twisting her love into hating everything. If we look at Homura's love for Madoka to repeatedly go through hell to try and save her, only to lose her completely eventually, the love she had would twist into everything said here. The understanding that Madoka sacrificed herself to save everyone turns into Jealousy that she can't have Madoka to herself, that she has enough pride in herself to think she can do things better by lying to everyone fits and same with the disobedience. But we're not really talking about Homura anymore, Homura has been corrupted into a vastly different God-Witch version of Homulilly, who see's everything as being wrong and deciding to change things.

=== Homura's State of Mind ===
Homura's personality and mental state has radically changed by the end of the film. There are several speculations as to why or how it happened.

'''Corruption of the mind:''' During the transition process from a human/magical girl into what it is now a new entity, Homura's mind became corrupted or altered during the transformation process. Homura is not human, she is not a magical girl, she is not even a Witch, she something completely different, as a result this is a different Homura.

'''Mental Stress:''' Considering Homura's mental state prior to the movie, it is surprising that she hasn't suffered from a complete mental breakdown before. Homura saw her friends die countless times, had to repeat an endless nightmarish cycle through time and space, almost lost her life countless times, and then she was forced to part away from Madoka, the person she sacrificed everything for, let us not forget prior to being a magical girl Homura was riddled with insecurities, (possible) family abandonment, a weak physical body, and being bullied in school. Add that with the torture she had to go through under Kyubey's experiment, and it becomes clear that it was probably too much for an already fragile mind.

'''Homura's Insecurities and fears:''' While Homura presents herself to be strong and compose, inside she is still that weak and insecure little girl, she always was. Homura was always wearing a mask to keep the appearance and impression that she has things under control. In the anime series we saw moments when Homura's strong exterior felt apart momentarily. It is those fears that are driving Homura to take drastic measures, the fear of losing Madoka again and she believes that the only way to guarantee Madoka's happiness is by taking control of the situation.

'''Natural Progression:''' Homura is a survivalist, she adapts to the situation as it suits her, when she was weak she looked up to Madoka for inspiration and help, when she lost Madoka she tried to become stronger to protect her. Now that she is a powerful entity, she believes it is her responsibility and duty to take matters with her own hands.

'''The Real Homura all along:''' Rather than power corrupting one person, it is suggested that power actually reveals ones true self. Perhaps what we are witnessing is Homura's true nature. Homura used to be a weak girl, bullied by classmates and dependent on the kindness of others. Now that she is an all powerful being, unrestrained by human weakness or limitation, she is allowed to do anything she wants, and probably what she always wanted to do but was afraid to do so.

===Gone mad from the revelation?===
Another possibility is that Homura is not really evil but actually found something about Madoka that drove her off the deep end.

If you remember clearly, Madoka's wish was to erase all witches from existence before they're even born, in the universe, from the past and the future, with her own hands. Hence Madoka became an entity who removed from existence all magical girls who became witches and placed them in another dimension of her own.

There is a catch, however, Madoka never wished she would take their souls to another dimension.

This whole movie took place inside an entire reality created inside Homura's soul gem, a barrier which reflected her ideal world where everything happened in the way she dreamed of and which began to crumble once she realized she had been living a farce threatening her friends. In other words, Homura experienced what it's like to be an oblivious god living in a world made by your wishes until you realize your own folly and crumbles in despair.

This is where things get worse, the moment Madoka was restored and came to take her soul, Homura realized that Madoka wasn't just erasing witches, she was absorbing the souls of all witches into her barrier '''HEAVEN''' and living in her own fake world rid of misfortune. This is why all witches in the movie could retain their consciousness and switch into magical girls, because their grief was erased by Madoka's barrier which gave them an "afterlife" free of suffering.

It was that cruel realization, that Madoka's wish of hope only trapped her in a false happiness of godhood, which broke Homura utterly and made her change into a dark deity hellbent on suppressing Madoka's wish.

If Homura could remake the '''MORTAL WORLD''' into something free of witches and suffering, then Madoka would think that Homura's world was already heaven and wouldn't try to become a saviour at the expense of her own sacrifice.

Considering the lengths Homura goes to protect Madoka, it would make perfect sense if she was willing to trade Madoka's love for her ire and disapproval if that meant not letting Madoka ever realize she became a lotus eater machine for every magical girl who died.

*this would imply the entire post-series pre-rebellion universe is Madoka's barrier, for her to be able to take the despair of magical girls despite being outside of her heaven.
*However Madoka destroyed her witch self, as her wish to erase all witches includes herself, this theory would depend upon a God's haven working in a similar way to a witches' barrier or Homura believing they do. Sayaka seemed to remember exactly what happened to her where as Homura's lotus eater machine messed with people's memories.
**So far there was no evidence of witches erasing the memories of people who came to their barrier at any point until Homulilly, even then so, Ultimate Madoka is clearly something else than a witch, like Homura she is something above witches and magical girls but instead of creating a barrier geared towards making reality her playground she made her "space" outside the real world for the sake of giving rest and healing to the soul of all meguka. What drives the corrupted Homura insane is the fact Madoka is not aware she makes this heaven regardless of her own personal happiness, she is being driven by her '''merciful''' nature to guide all of these souls to her blissful barrier were they no longer suffer, unaware if that's her personal choice or just a cursed existence ignorant to her self-imposed enslavement.
***Just a point. When Madoka make her wish, she was aware all magical girls eventually die, as all living things do. So maybe, she just goes as thing went normally, sending their souls to her "heaven" (It can't be named "Barrier" because it is exclusively for Witches/Nightmares, and Madokami ins't a witch/nightmare). Or according a Buddhism, she start a reincarnation cycle.

=== Is Homura selfish? ===

Well, it's complicated.

Selfish can be defined as ''"[http://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/selfish concerned excessively or exclusively with oneself: seeking or concentrating on one's own advantage, pleasure, or well-being without regard for others]"''.

In the movie it becomes clear that Homura's philosophy is the opposite of Madoka's. Whereas Madoka believes she should sacrifice herself for the world, Homura believes the world should sacrifice itself for Madoka. That Homura is willing to sacrifice herself for Madoka is laudable, that she is willing to sacrifice others is not. That Homura is willing to become Madoka's enemy, to kidnap and imprison Madoka in order to make a world where Madoka can be happy, is disturbing.

In other words, Homura only cares about her own desire, which means she is selfish. However, her own desire is the happiness of another person - and she is willing to sacrifice her own life, happiness, and morality to achieve that. Thus, Homura's selfishness almost seems paradoxical. It is a self-denying selfishness, a selfishness where one desire is placed above all others. One could say that in the end, Homura is practicing absolute selfishness, sacrificing ''all'' to achieve her one desire.

Homrua's behaviour refers to "Solipsism"

===Junko's Words of Wisdom:===
In [[Episode 6]] of Madoka Magica, Madoka has a problem. She wants to help Sayaka, but she doesn't know how. She believes Sayaka is on the right, but the more Sayaka tries to do the right thing, the worst it is for her because it doesn't cause her happiness. When Madoka confides this to her mom, Junko advices Madoka to ''[[Madoka_Magica_Episode_6:_This_Just_Isn%27t_Right#Observations|"do something wrong"]]'' to balance things out. According with Junko, someone needs to be in the right, and someone needs to be in the wrong.

If we take Junko's words at heart, the heart of the matter in "Rebellion" reveals itself. Madoka as the concept of hope is burdened with responsibilities that go beyond for a little girl to handle, Madoka is separated from her family, she is not allowed to grow up normally into healthy adulthood. Instead she is forced to accept adult responsibilities at such a young age, and she must carry the burdens of the whole universe by herself, alone. But Madoka wont abandon her new role nor will she allow the universe to be in a chaotic state. As a result Madoka is, rather than a savior of the universe, a prisoner to her responsibilities, or at least that seems to be how Homura sees it. It is possible that Homura wants to give a happy ending to Madoka, ''"but you can't expect a happy ending just by doing what's right all the time."''

Homura realizes that in order to protect Madoka, and the world that she loves, Homura must act in a way that is not nice/pleasant to outside observers, ''"even if it's not the nicest way to do it."'' Since Madoka wont abandon her duties as Ultimate Madoka and her role within the universe that she watches over, she will never experience a normal life as long as she is bound by duty and her noble sentiment. This is the source that causes Madoka to sacrifice her life and her happiness for the greater good, a noble act but one that Homura understands doesn't bring happiness to Madoka, even if Madoka wont admit it herself. Homura ''"has to be in the wrong to balance out [Madoka's] need to be in the right."'' It is for this reason that Homura takes such a treacherous and drastic action against Madoka, realizing that there is no other way to help her.

Homura warns Madoka that they may become enemies someday because she doesn't know if Madoka will ever come to understand Homura's choice. ''"She may or may not. Especially at first. [...] it might not be the nicest way to do it. But would [Homura] rather give up on her, or give [Madoka] the wrong idea about [her]?"'' Homura would never give up on Madoka, so she accepts the latter as a possible consequence of her actions.

In conclusion, Homura acted out of selfish desire to make Madoka happy, because Madoka's was trying to make everyone happy but herself.

===Alternate, Non-Dualist Theory===

It is possible that the focus on dualism and the idea of Homura becoming a Lucifer-like figure is fundamentally misunderstanding what happened in the ending of The Rebellion Story. There are somewhat obvious problems with the idea of dualism- for one, in the new universe, Madokami doesn't appear to have any real power. In order for dualism to truly exist, both opposing forces must have equal power, this is clearly not the case. Akuma Homura essentially just overthrew the existing order, but absorbed Madokami within her, imprisoning her along with the entire universe in her witch's barrier, which really ceases to be one once it covers the whole universe.

First, we need to step back and look at what Homura actually did. She created a new world that was presumably peaceful and stable, there are no magical girls who fight endlessly into inevitable despair, and presumably she can twist the world to eliminate the curses that need to be fought. She takes all the despair into herself. Recall that Homura's first real questioning of her own fake Mitakihara was "can we really continue fighting forever?" That world is how it is because endless fighting is all Homura really knows, and by questioning it she ultimately questions all she's ever known. She constructed the fake Mitakihara as an ideal world initially- one where magical girls could continue to fight evil with no real negative consequences, thus still giving them their wishes and purpose. She then rebels against this notion, tearing down her own vision of utopia because she no longer sees it that way, she wants a world without magical girls.

Now we can go back farther before the movie and look at what Madoka actually did. She never pursued or was granted the powers of an actual omnipotent god, she never looked to rewrite the entire universe. Technically, she doesn't even fully gets rid of witches, she just absorbs the despair into herself and allows the magical girls to pass away peacefully without becoming monsters and corrupting others. But that is the extent of her power, and even she is not immune from despair and corruption, indeed we see Madokami's witch attempting to devour the world, but Madokami was able to save herself just as she was able to save everyone else. Curses and negative feelings still exist at the same levels they did before, they just now manifest into Wraiths, which can be interpreted as the raw manifestation of negative feelings rather than corruptions of magical girls. The most important thing here is that all the laws of the universe that existed long before Madokami are still intact after Madoka's wish.

Now recall perhaps the biggest revelation in the new movie: the Incubators were obviously unsatisfied with the power attained from the wraiths, and after seeing the truth about witches within Homura, it was the Incubators thirst that sought Madokami's power, either to take her power or destroy her so they could go back to the more lucrative witch system. This is the detail that makes Homura's decision-making much less confusing, and in fact, completely understandable. As she breaks out of the prison with the help of the others, and Madokami comes down to take her to Valhalla, she knows she cannot let that happen. Why? Because she knows what they don't: the Incubators are after Madoka. They will continue to experiment and to pervert existing magical girls as they did with her in order to find a way to destroy Madoka. So, she uses her last remaining strength to usurp Madoka, take her power, and imprison her. Why? It's quite simple, and Homura states it explicitly: love.

The one constant throughout the entire series is that Homura loves Madoka, and her wish was one that ensure that she would be able to protect her. Indeed, that is her singular purpose in life to protect Madoka at literally any cost- even if it means becoming the demon that usurps her power, even if it means becoming her enemy. She had to find a way to end the Incubators and their schemes once and for all, even if it meant having to hurt Madoka and imprison her in the new universe, which bends to no rules but Homura's. And, recalling Sayoktavia's words from earlier in the movie: is an entity which creates a paradise like this truly one that is bad, and should be opposed? Homura sees herself as a devil-like figure, and of course she would, doing what she did despairs her greatly, but it needed to be done in order to protect Madoka. But is she truly bad, or Devil-like for creating a world without curses? Was it truly madness or insanity that drove her to do it, or was she thinking more clearly and logically than anyone else?

Ultimately, it brings us to one thesis: Just as Madoka had to become a magical girl to reach her ends of eliminating the suffering and corruption of magical girls, Homura had to become a witch to protect that system, to suffer forever for the sake of keeping the universe stable. There is dualism, but yet there is not, there is only Homura, using the power of Madoka's sacrifice to finally stabilize things and create her own true vision of utopia.

Where it goes from here depends on whether a sequel eventually will come. It could end in that state, with Homura maintaining the universe in her order. It might end in a way that allows both the existence of Madoka and Homura to merge- or perhaps they will both finally be able to pass and have their existences end, as all things do.

==="Gott ist tot" and Nietzsche [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vzRbCrIWURY]===
<blockquote>'''Homura:''' "Escaping into this impossible world. Abandoning the responsibility to fight wraiths. Such weakness... I'll never be able to forgive. Magical girls... Have no choice but to continue fighting. That is... The price we pay for our miracle. It was for our sakes that... She... Sacrificed herself to try to save us. {{Runes|WER TRÄUMT?}} '''Homura:'''This farce... Is just making light of Madoka's sacrifice! I won't forgive this!" '''Clara Dolls:''' "Gott ist tot! Gott ist tot! Gott ist tot!"</blockquote>

Friedrich Nietzsche is known for what some consider to be his [[:wikipedia:Philosophy_of_Friedrich_Nietzsche|controversial philosophy]]. He called himself an "immoralist" and harshly criticized the prominent moral philosophies of his day: Christianity, [[:wikipedia:Kantianism|Kantianism]], and [[:wikipedia:Utilitarianism|utilitarianism]]. Nietzsche was also known for being very critical of the Western belief in [[:wikipedia:egalitarianism|egalitarianism]] and [[:wikipedia:rationality|rationality]].

Nietzsche saw [[:wikipedia:Nihilism|nihilism]] as the outcome of repeated frustrations in the search for meaning. He diagnosed nihilism as a latent presence within the very foundations of European culture, and saw it as a necessary and approaching destiny. Nietzsche argued that Western culture must face and transcend in the wake of the irreparable dissolution of its traditional foundations, moored largely in classical Greek philosophy and Christianity.

====GOOD AND EVIL====

In [[:wikipedia:Beyond_Good_And_Evil|Beyond Good And Evil]] and ''On the Genealogy of Morality'', Nietzsche's genealogical account of the development of modern moral systems occupies central place. For Nietzsche, a fundamental shift took place from thinking in terms of "good" and "bad" toward "good" and "evil."

Nietzsche argued that two types of morality existed: a master morality that springs actively from the "noble man", and a slave morality that develops reactively within the weak man. These two moralities do not present simple inversions of one another. They form two different value systems: master morality fits actions into a scale of 'good' or 'bad' whereas slave morality fits actions into a scale of "good" or "evil".

The initial form of morality was set by a warrior aristocracy and other ruling castes of ancient civilizations. Aristocratic values of "good" and "bad" coincided with and reflected their relationship to lower castes such as slaves. Nietzsche presented this "master morality" as the original system of morality—perhaps best associated with Homeric Greece. To be "good" was to be happy and to have the things related to happiness: wealth, strength, health, power, etc. To be "bad" was to be like the slaves over which the aristocracy ruled, poor, weak, sick, pathetic—an object of pity or disgust rather than hatred.

"Slave morality" comes about as a reaction to master-morality. Here, value emerges from the contrast between good and evil: good being associated with other-worldliness, charity, piety, restraint, meekness, and submission; and evil seen as worldly, cruel, selfish, wealthy, and aggressive. Nietzsche sees slave morality as pessimistic and fearful, values for them serving only to ease the existence for those who suffer from the very same thing. He associated slave-morality with the Jewish and Christian traditions, in a way that slave-morality is born out of the ressentiment of slaves. Nietzsche argued that the idea of equality allowed slaves to overcome their own condition without hating themselves. And by denying the inherent inequality of people (such as success, strength, beauty or intelligence), slaves acquired a method of escape, namely by generating new values on the basis of rejecting something that was seen as a perceived source of frustration. It was used to overcome the slave's own sense of inferiority before the (better-off) masters. It does so by making out slave weakness to be a matter of choice, by, e.g., relabeling it as "meekness." The "good man" of master morality is precisely the "evil man" of slave morality, while the "bad man" is recast as the "good man."

====NIHILISM====

When Nietzsche says that God is dead, what he means is that our entire concept of “God” is dead. The Christian concept of God as an all-powerful, all-knowing, morally good, caring, Supreme Being is dead, according to Nietzsche. But God no longer listens to us, nor knows how to respond. This lack of communication between us and God is the cause of the decline of theism (Beyond Good and Evil, Sec. 53). New forces have taken the place of God in our lives, forces such as money and science have provided a new faith for us in an increasingly materialistic society. We have become religious atheists, we no longer have God, but we practice religion. But religion involves sacrifice, and that is why God is dead.

Nietzsche was concerned that the death of God has lead to a pervasive state [[:wikipedia:Nihilism|nihilism]]. By sacrificing God in the name of [[:wikipedia:Asceticism|asceticism]], asceticism has lost its purpose and meaning to life. Nietzsche argued that one way in which we attempted to fill the space left by God’s death is through secular science. Since we have traded God for science, we now worship science as our new God. Science has occupied the throne on which God used to sit. Science has become the new ascetic faith, populated by theoretical entities and forces. But unlike theism, science ascribes no meaning to life’s happening. It only provides the means by which life happens; it provides the how, not the why.

For Nietzsche, the alternative to nihilism and asceticism lies in the positive affirmation of life.[http://answers.yahoo.com/question/index?qid=20070804135148AAzRjPS]

====WILL TO POWER====

A basic element in Nietzsche's philosophical outlook is the [[:wikipedia:Will_to_power|will to power]] (der Wille zur Macht), which provides a basis for understanding human behavior — more so than competing explanations, such as the ones based on pressure for adaptation or survival.

In presenting his theory of human behavior, Nietzsche also addressed, and attacked, concepts from philosophies popularly embraced in his days, such as [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zNDw9lO8uKg Schopenhauer's notion of an aimless will] or that of utilitarianism. Utilitarians claim that what moves people is mainly the desire to be happy, to accumulate pleasure in their lives. But such a conception of happiness Nietzsche rejected as something limited to, and characteristic of, the bourgeois lifestyle of the English society, and instead put forth the idea that happiness is not an aim per se — it is instead a consequence of a successful pursuit of one's aims, of the overcoming of hurdles to one's actions — in other words, of the fulfillment of the will.

====ÜBERMENSCH====

Nietzsche's Zarathustra ties the [[:wikipedia:Übermensch#Death_of_God_and_the_creation_of_new_values|Übermensch to the death of God]]. While this God was the ultimate expression of other-worldly values and the instincts that gave birth to those values, belief in that God nevertheless did give meaning to life for a time. 'God is dead' means that the idea of God can no longer provide values. With the sole source of values no longer capable of providing those values, there is a real chance of nihilism prevailing.

Zarathustra presents the Übermensch as the creator of new values. In this way, it appears as a solution to the problem of the death of God and nihilism. If the Übermensch acts to create new values within the moral vacuum of nihilism, there is nothing that this creative act would not justify. Alternatively, in the absence of this creation, there are no grounds upon which to criticize or justify any action, including the particular values created and the means by which they are promulgated.

In order to avoid a relapse into Platonic idealism or asceticism, the creation of these new values cannot be motivated by the same instincts that gave birth to those tables of values. Instead, they must be motivated by a love of this world and of life. Whereas Nietzsche diagnosed the Christian value system as a reaction against life and hence destructive in a sense, the new values which the Übermensch will be responsible for will be life-affirming and creative.

====Homura's Will to Power====

When Homura discovers that she is actually trapped within a Witch's barrier, she despair not because she is trapped, but because she was allowed to be easily influenced and be deceived by such a pleasant trap or dream. The dream makes a mockery of Madoka's sacrifice, making her victory to ring hollow as Homura has chosen a dream over reality. We have to remember that within this dream, it brings the fulfillment of all of Homura's friends. Mami is not alone as she combats Nightmares not by herself, but with a team in a manner resembling typical magical girls. Kyouko and Sayaka rather than being antagonists they are close friends and are even living together. Madoka is back in the real world as a magical girl, she is back to her friends and her family, but not only that she is also happy. The Dream is not only pleasant for Homura (having Madoka back and being friends with the girls), but it is also a vehicle for the personal fulfillment for the girls as well. Yet the dream is a lie, hence why Homura is angry with herself. Perhaps the dream reminded Homura how much she misses Madoka, her absence in Homura's life is deep and profound. Perhaps Homura at that moment grew disillusioned with the MadoVerse. The only reason Homura endured so much suffering was the promise that they would meet again when Homura's Soul Gems were to be tainted, the promise of paradise drove her to continue her journey, and yet the dream shattered Homura's conviction possibly at that point. At that moment it is possible to suggest that Homura realizes that she is a prisoner of a dream that is also a lie, and as a result perhaps Homura comes with an actual self realization that she actually liked the dream more than her reality, a reality where there is no Madoka, only Ultimate Madoka. We can suspect at this moment that Homura lost faith on Ultimate Madoka, not on Madoka herself, but on the concept of Ultimate Madoka. In the MadoVerse Sayaka became friends with Kyouko but she is dead, the girls fight together as a team but against dangerous Wraiths not silly creatures like Nightmares, the fate of Magical Girls does not lead to tea and cakes, but being taken away by the Law of Cycles, and Madoka is a separate entity from the MadoVerse. It is during this self actualization that the Clara Dolls cry, ''"Gott ist tot"''. Perhaps it is during this moment of crisis of faith that Homura has doubts about the system. We have to remember that Homura's Witch's Barrier creation of such dream is no accident. After all, Kyubey states that Homura's barrier would only allow a specific target or person to be allowed to enter; it is speculated that the Clara Dolls probably even kidnapped the specific targets. As a result, we can speculate that deep down, Homura wished for a better world than of the MadoVerse.

But there is another possibility that perhaps pushed Homura to her new conviction, the flower bed scene. It is stated that Homura is talking with the real Madoka, but this Madoka has no recollection of her previous life. As a result of their conversation Homura is convinced that Madoka would never abandon her family and friends knowingly or willingly. Madoka's amnesia is convenient enough to convince Homura to take a different path. Homura is convinced she must save Madoka from her foolish self. It is possible that during the flower bed scene, those may have been Madoka's true feelings at the time, but those are the result of Madoka's lost memory. Homura probably knows that that Madoka given the choice she may decide to become Ultimate Madoka given the circumstances, but this doesnt matter. To Homura, she decides that she has the conviction to pursue her original goal, which was to become stronger enough to protect and save Madoka, even if it means having to go against Madoka herself. Homura knew she had to end the Law of Cycles to free Madoka from herself.

Given Homura's epiphany and the events in the flower bed scene, it is easy to figure out what drove Homura to change the system and "rescue" Madoka from herself. Not only did Homura changed the world, but one could agree she did for the better regardless of Madoka's wishes. In the HomuVerse Sayaka is alive, Nagisa meets Mami, Madoka is back with her family, and everything seems to be for the better (as we know for now). The HomuVerse is almost similar to the Dream World that Homura created in her Witch's barrier. In a way Homura is trying to recreate the world from the Dream World. A clear indication that perhaps Homura was not happy with the conditions in the MadoVerse. Homura has become the Übermensch, for she has changed the rules of the universe and created new values. But more than that, she has defeated, tamed, and contained Madoka's biggest threat, Kyubey's race, something that Madoka has not done in the previous reality.

====Rebellion and Nietzsche====

The following interpretation is an attempt to observe rebellion through the eyes of Nietzsche. It is open to interpretation and it is not the final authority regarding the body of work in Rebellion.

It is possible that Homura realized that the New World, while better than the Old World with its cruel system, had some problems, problems that Homura couldnt overlook after her moment of epiphany. It is perhaps of this reason that Homura decides to rebel against Madoka. Homura is trying to liberate Madoka from an oppressive cycle that makes her not just a prisoner, but also a slave to her conviction and sense of goodness. When Homura is given the choice to free herself from her torture by allowing Madoka to spirit her away, she proclaims to Kyoube that she would prefer to become a Witch and fall into despair forever, rather than allow Madoka to fall into his trap. Homura is not ashamed that she became a witch, it is possible that she was ashamed that she failed to meet Madoka's expectations, that she fell into a dream and chose the dream over Madoka's salvation. But once Homura overcame her fears and doubts she became resolute to rescue Madoka from herself, from her bondage to the Law of Cycles.

One could suggest that perhaps the Law of Cycles did not liberate the magical girls at all, but instead made them prisoners into a new "slave system", for these girls still met a terrible (but less horrible) fate in the end. Rather than becoming witches, they are spirited away to some paradise, a reward for their personal sacrifice, yet they are still obligated to fulfill their contract by making them unable to escape from their ultimate fate. The Law of Cycles was the result of Madoka's sacrifice. The fulfillment of a promise that the suffering of magical girls would end. What Madoka has done was to change some of the rules of the old system to make the lives of magical girls more pleasant and lessen some of its horrifying aspects, but she also inserted an incentive to reward these magical girls for their deaths. Yet this fulfillment is not based on personal accomplishment but based on sacrifices. As a result Nietzsche would point out that the suffering of these girls did not lead to personal growth or allowed them to overcome their suffering, but instead they were cheated by giving them bribes to ease their pain. There is no affirmation of life, they overcome nothing.

Since these magical girls cannot overcome this ultimate fate, one can argue that they all failed to fulfill their potential. Except for Homura, she overcomes the ultimate fate by not dying, by not becoming a Witch, by not being taken away by Madoka. Perhaps making Homura the Übermensch. It has to be pointed out, that Homura was the first person to realize that the girls were trapped inside a Witch barrier (with the exception of Nagisa and Sayaka), Homura was possibily awakening from the dream before the other girls did, a self actualization that there was something possibly wrong with the order of the world. It is possible that Homura's struggles started to manifest "her will to power", her transformation into the Übermensch to overcome her personal struggles. According with Nietzsche, human suffering is necessary for personal growth as well as for their potential for one to attain one's goal by overcoming such obstacles. Homura's endless suffering, doubts, fears, as well as her will allowed her to overcome her obstacles. Homura explains to Kyubey that the reason she didnt become a Witch, was because of her love for Madoka, because Madoka was always on her mind. One can interpret this as saying that Homura's mind was always obsessing with her goal or objective, which happens to be Madoka's safety. Her will to overcome her weakness to save Madoka was driven by her ambition and goal, and Homura needed to overcome her long and almost endless struggle to obtain it. Homura overcame her obstacles not through [[Talk:Philosophical_Observations#Madoka_and_Minding_her_Motive|Kantian means like a noble self-sacrifice]], nor by [[Talk:Philosophical_Observations#Kyubey_and_Utilitarianism|a base selfish means like utilitarianism]]. Instead, Homura obtained her fulfillment by overcoming her struggle, even if it meant being hated by Madoka.

Perhaps Goddoka had to "die" in order to break the new cycle that was less horrifying but smothering, a confining system based on Madoka's values like goodness and sacrifice. Goddoka also had to die so she could live as an ordinary human girl in the Homuverse, so she could reaffirm life as an ordinary person, rather than as a divine being trapped within the system. A system that tried to alleviate suffering at the expense of personal growth and strength, strength needed to overcome personal obstacles. The values in such a system do not only deprived Madoka from fulfilling her full potential without restrain, but were obstacles to her personal happiness.

As a side note, Nietzsche's idea of the [[:wikipedia:Friedrich_Nietzsche#Eternal_return|Eternal Return]] is eerily similar to Homura's endless time travel in the series. It is a concept which posits that the universe has been recurring, and will continue to recur, in a self-similar form an infinite number of times across infinite time or space. Nietzsche contemplates the idea as potentially "horrifying and paralyzing", and says that its burden is the "heaviest weight" imaginable ("das schwerste Gewicht"). The wish for the eternal return of all events would mark the ultimate affirmation of life, a reaction to Schopenhauer's praise of denying the will‐to‐live. The purpose is not only for an eternal struggle, but also for the eternal overcoming of the struggle of life, and its celebration.

Madoka overcame her personal struggles with a noble sacrifice, she became a magical girl, transformed into a witch, and then she transcended into Ultimate Madoka but at a cost. Nietzsche would deny that Madoka overcame anything at all. But Homura did overcame her struggles by actually overcoming them, by suffering, by growing, and by sheer personal will. As Homura stated, she is neither a witch, nor a magical girl. She is something more.

At the ending when Homura was dancing and then jumped from the cliff, one can interpret it as Homura reaffirming life.

===Bhuddism and Mara (with a bit of Gnosticism)===
The original ''Madoka Magica'' anime had [http://mlpomo.blogspot.com/2013/08/latin-latin-madoka-more-latin-puella.html Bhuddist] [http://listlessink.wordpress.com/2011/04/23/birth-of-a-goddess-madokas-path-to-nirvana-a-study-of-buddhism/ themes] that might be missed by any viewers that are unfamiliar with the concepts presented.

In [[Madoka Magica Portable]], [[Homulilly]] is described as the witch of "Shigan". Shigan is a Bhuddist concept that basically means the mortal world humans live in. It's opposite is [[wikipedia:Higan|Higan]], which represents the afterlife or Enlightenment. In other words, Homulilly is an existence opposed to Madoka (who represents salvation from suffering).

In Bhuddist mythology there is a deity named [[wikipedia:Mara_(demon)|Mara]]. Often described as a devil or demon, he is closer to the [[wikipedia:Demiurge|Demiurge]] in Gnostic Christianity. Mara represents temptation and desire - in other words, anti-enlightenment. (On a possibly not so coincidental note, [[wikipedia:Mara_(folklore)|Mara]] is also the name of a creature from Germanic folklore that is the origin of the word "Nightmare".) In ''Rebellion'', Homura evokes Mara when she creates an illusory, perfect world out of her own desires that traps others within it (following the Bhuddist concept of the world as an illusion). Then, at the end of the movie, Homura absorbs Madoka and remakes the world, with Madoka reincarnated as a normal girl. In a Buddhist interpretation, Homura took a [[wikipedia:Bodhisattva|Bodhisattva]] away from Enlightenment and trapped her in the mortal world. Not only is this ''really bad'' by Buddhist terms, but Homura also did it out of her selfish desire for Madoka. In Buddhism, desire is one of the sources of all suffering.

To summarize, Homura is Mara (or the Demiurge) keeping Madoka - who is more or less Bhudda (or the Gnostic [[wikipedia:Sophia_(Gnosticism)|Sophia]]) - trapped in the mortal world, where is she ignorant of her true nature. As the Mara figure, Homura will do whatever she can to keep Madoka in the mortal world, but the only way for anyone to achieve true salvation is if Madoka awakens and breaks Homura's illusion.

===Sayaka and the comparison to Archangel Michael===
[[File:Wont forget (id=40231587).jpg|right|thumb|150px|She may be our only hope]]
*In Hebrew, Michael's name means "''who is like God?''". In a literal way, Sayaka's nature is like Madoka's: a being that exists on a different plane of existence.
*Through the ages, Michael is always armed with a sword (Sayaka's weapon badge).
*Sayaka's last name (Miki) it may be a derivation of the arabic word ''Mikhail''.
*Michael is always portrayed to be the opposite of Lucifer, either for the love of God or conflicts in their ways of thinking; in almost all media published in Madoka Magica series, Sayaka and Homura are shown in conflict with each other, primarily in regard to Madoka' safety.

===Attack on Fandom (Or Fanwork Creators are Evil)===
There have been many accusations that ''Rebellion'' is primarily about pandering to the fanbase. Indeed, much of ''Rebellion'''s story reflects common trends in fandom. However, are they pandering to the fans, or are they parodying them?

Consider that the movie opens with a world common in fanworks ([[Drama_CD_2|and some]] [[Madoka_Magica_Drama_CD_4:_Summer_Magical_Girl_Training_Camp!!|officially published]] [[Puella_Magi_Madoka_Magica_Anthology_1|material]]). The five magical girls are working together without suffering. Kyubey has been rendered harmless. Even Charlotte is there as the second mascot. It is the world depicted and desired by fans.

And it's all an illusion. No matter how many fanworks are made, it doesn't change the events that happen in the original series. They are as illusionary as the world of Homura's witch barrier.

Then there's the end of the movie. Again, it is an ending common in fanworks. Madoka is alive. Sayaka is alive. Even Charlotte has been brought back to life and returned to her human form. And Kyubey is paying for all his crimes. The ending people wanted to see.

But there's a price. It's ''Madoka Magica'', there's always a price. The price is that Homura is now made the villain, and she has trapped the characters in this happy ending against their will. Instead of the joy of witnessing a happy ending, the viewer is made to feel horrified and confused.

One might even consider Homura to be a stand-in for fanwork creators. It is Homura that creates the illusion at the beginning of the movie, and it is Homura that creates the ending where everyone is brought back. It says something that the person who makes fanworks come true is the person that becomes ''the devil itself''. But hey, you got your happy ending, right?

We have found the enemy and it is us. Be careful what you wish for.

===Madoka's Omniscience===
Many viewers have pointed to an apparent plot hole in the movie: Why didn't Madoka foresee Homura's actions if she is an omniscient god? This is in fact a trick the movie pulls on viewers; it expects them to remember that Madoka's omniscience isn't just because she's a god, it's because she's a concept that exists in all of space and time. As Madoka says in episode 12 "''I will be everywhere at every moment from now on"''. In other words, Madoka is omniscient only because she is omnipresent. If something were to interrupt her omnipresence, then she is no longer omniscient.

Indeed, this does happen during ''Rebellion''. Kyubey's Isolation Field specifically blocks Madoka from entering, which means Madoka is not omnipresent anymore. We know the Incubators can see into the Isolation Field, which suggests Madoka can see into it too...but that means she only knows what the Incubators do.

Before we continue, we need to ask if the future of the ''Madoka Magica'' setting is predetermined. In other words, is the future set in stone? If it was predetermined, than Madoka could still know in advance how long the Isolation Field would last and what would happen afterward.

However, there is evidence to suggest that the future is not predetermined in the setting. Certainly Madoka changes the future with her wish, and later tells Homura that she sees all the universes which may one day exist. In ''Rebellion'' itself, Kyubey says Madoka does not exist in the past or in all the possibilities of the future, which suggests that as far as Kyubey knows, the future is not predetermined.

But just because the future is not predetermined doesn't mean you can't know what's going to happen. As an omnipresent concept, Madoka is basically [[wikipedia:Laplace's_demon|Laplace's Demon]]. She knows what is going to happen in the future because she exists everywhere. In other words, she can tell the actual future from a possible one. When Kyubey introduces the Isolation Field, it introduces [[wikipedia:Chaos_Theory|chaos]] into Madoka's perceptions, preventing her from being able to tell which future will actually occur.

To Madoka, the Isolation Field is a little like a [[wikipedia:Schrödinger's_cat|Schrödinger's catbox]]. Until we open the box, we can't tell if the cat will be alive or dead. Similarly, Madoka can't tell what will happen to anything that is inside or enters the Isolation Field, including Homura's Soul Gem, the victims of Homura's barrier, or even the future of Sayaka, Nagisa, and Madoka herself when they are "invited" inside.

Presumably, Madoka could have chosen to ignore Homura's invitation and wait to see if the Incubators would drop the Isolation Field, but Madoka would never abandon anyone, least of all Homura. So she enters Homura's barrier and takes the form of a human.

Since she is in the form of a human, Madoka is not omnipresent even when she enters Homura's barrier. She experiences time the same way the other characters do - linearly. She has no way of knowing what the future will hold, even after she suppresses her own memories and powers. Finally, when the Isolation Field is destroyed, Madoka regains her memories and powers...but she does not return to being an omnipresent and omniscient concept. She is still in the form of a human, which is why the other characters can see her. It's suggested Madoka can't return to being a concept until she deals with Homura's Soul Gem, in accordance with her wish to erase all witches before they are born with her own hands. Madoka has to purify Homura's Soul Gem before she can move onto the next potential witch.

But since Madoka had no way to determine which potential future would actually happen, Homura's actions catch her by surprise. (Not to mention that before the Isolation Field was destroyed, Homura told Madoka that she wanted to be by her side; clearly Madoka thought Homura meant she wanted to be with Madoka forever.)

===AI YO===
Perhaps the most contentious part of the movie is the reveal that Homura's Soul Gem is not tainted by curses, but by love. This comes out of nowhere and appears to contradict the original anime. However, given that ''Rebellion'' is a movie that invites thought, it is not unreasonable to assume that there is an answer hidden in the movie. (For example, while the movie does not say that Kyubey's Isolation Field was blocking Madoka's omniscience, it is logical to conclude that anything that prevents Madoka from existing in all of time of space would interfere with her omniscience.)

Here is a potential explanation for how Homura receives the power of love, one that does not contradict anything that occurred in the anime or movie. This is, admittedly, pure fan wank - but one with support. Consider what happens when Ultimate Madoka comes down to pick up Homura's Soul Gem.

First, Madoka is observable. We know this because Homura, Mami, and Kyoko can all see her. Remember what Kyubey tells Homura - if they can observe the Law of Cycles, which is embodied in Ultimate Madoka, then they can interfere with it, and magical girls will turn into witches once again.

Then, just before Madoka touches Homura's Soul Gem, Homura grabs Madoka's hands. Homura is doing...exactly what it looks like she's doing. She is preventing Madoka from taking her Soul Gem anyway. In other words, Homura is interfering with the Law of Cycles.

At this point, Homura's Soul Gem turns pure black. Darkness begins spilling from it. Obviously, by blocking the Law of Cycles from affecting her Soul Gem, Homura is becoming a witch.

Except she doesn't become a witch. A "color worse than curses" appears inside her Soul Gem. Where did it come from? Why isn't Homura turning into a witch? After all, Kyubey said that if the Law of Cycles is interfered with, magical girls will turn into witches again.

And that's just it. ''What if Kyubey was wrong?''

Remember Madoka's wish? "I wish to erase all witches before they are born...All the witches in all the universes, both past and future...With my own hands!" If a witch was ever born, then Madoka's wish would not come true. Of course Kyubey wouldn't remember Madoka's wish, and it's unclear how much Homura told him about it.

So, even if the Law of Cycles was blocked from reaching a magical girl, the magical girl would still not become a witch. But what happens if it is blocked? If Madoka can't erase a witch before it's born, how can her wish remain true?

If Madoka can't reach a magical girl before they become a witch...then maybe the magical girl becomes something else instead.

A new color fills Homura's Soul Gem, a color that has never appeared in a Soul Gem before. This may be the result of Madoka's wish asserting itself over reality. One might call it an act of self-preservation. Homura then continues to hold on to Madoka, preventing Madoka from moving on to the next potential witch. With Madoka trying to move somewhere else and Homura holding onto her, Madoka is split apart so that her wish can remain true. Homura then creates a barrier that engulfs the universe. Her Soul Gem shatters and reforms into something never seen before. Homura is now a being that has rejected the Law of Cycles, and is possibly empowered by that rejection. Through rejecting hope, she gains the power of love. And by rejecting god, she has become the devil.

As for ''how'' Homura could intefere with the Law of Cycles, it's likely related to her wish to protect Madoka. If Madoka is now a concept, then Homura can only protect Madoka by interfering with said concept.

Homura did mention "love" as an emotion "far passionate than hope, far deeper than despair". Since soul gems are tainted by despair and love is deeper than despair, soul gems should be able to be tainted by love that has desperation. Since Homura's gem is tainted with "love" and not despair, she doesn't turn into a witch but something similar. Thus with Madoka wished to erase witches with her own hands, Madoka would appear before Homura who is turning into something similar to a witch, but won't be able to erase her since what she's turning into is not technically a witch. And you know how warped the contract works.

===On Madoka's Afterlife===
''Rebellion'' actually clarifies the nature of Madoka's afterlife. It's not some separate dimension, ''it's Madoka herself''.

Consider what Madoka does to a Soul Gem in episode 12. She places her hands over a Soul Gem, the corruption inside of it is drained away, and finally the Soul Gem vanishes. ''Rebellion'' makes it clear that the corruption and the Soul Gem does not disappear. Rather, Madoka absorbs them both into herself.

As seen in ''Rebellion'', witches are born from inside the Soul Gem. When Madoka absorbs a Soul Gem's corruption, she is absorbing the unborn witch. Similarly, by absorbing the Soul Gem, she absorbs the magical girl's soul. One might say that the magical girls and witches are now in Madoka's own soul, similar to how Homura's pulled people into her own Soul Gem in ''Rebellion''.

Thus when Madoka entered Homura's barrier, she basically split Sayaka and Nagisa from herself. She also split Oktavia, Charlotte and the familiars from herself too. Technically, Oktavia and Charlotte are now part of Sayaka and Nagisa, the same way that all of them were part of Madoka.

Interestingly, at the end of the movie, Madoka is split from the Law of Cycles. Homura claims that this Madoka is a piece of the Law of Cycles - the part that was Madoka before she became a concept. One could say that in order to escape Homura, the Law of Cycles separated Madoka from itself the same way it split Sayaka and Nagisa from itself. (This would make Madoka an "angel", similar to Sayaka and Nagisa.)

== Trivia ==
[[File:Movies BDs 4koma Rebellion Translation.jpg|right|150px|thumb|]]
*The official title for Homura's new form is Akuma Homura. "Akuma" means "devil" or "demon" as well as being a pun on "Akemi". Fan nicknames include Homucifer, Homulucifer, HomuSatan, Devil Homura, Homurakuma, and Homukami.
*Urobuchi planned a scenario where Homura ascended with Madoka, but was asked by [http://feral-phoenix.livejournal.com/685568.html#| director Shinbo Akiyuki and producer Iwakami Atsuhiro] to come up with an ending that would allow for the continuation of the franchise. A comment by Shinbo that Homura and Madoka could end up as enemies inspired the current ending.
**Contrary to earlier misinformation and rumors, Urobuchi was '''not''' forced by Shinbo to write a different ending, nor that the ending was a last minute change in the script - the discussion and brainstorming for the ending occurred in the early stages of the movie, before Urobuchi had even written the script. That the ending of the movie differed from the first ending Urobuchi suggested is a regular process in early production stages. It is also untrue that Urobuchi disagreed or disliked the ending of the movie - quite the contrary, in fact.

==Criticism==
<blockquote>
''French Interviewer: "Do you have something to say to the French fans who are impatiently waiting for the third movie?"'' 
''Gen Urobuchi: "I think the third movie is going to divide the people, but I'm ready to face the consequences"'' ~ [http://www.wakanim.tv/dossier/16/1/interview-durobuchi-gen-et-de-kosaka-takaki wakanim.tv]
</blockquote>

<blockquote>
''"If the TV version of Madoka Magica was about God and unconditional love, the new film is about the Devil and how love, when taken too far, can turn into hate."'' ~ [http://www.crunchyroll.com/anime-feature/2013/11/10-1/feature-puella-magi-madoka-magica-rebellion-movie-review Ryotaro Aoki, Rebellion movie review, Crunchyroll.]
</blockquote>

One of the main concerns regarding the new ending in "Rebellion" is that Homura's action renders Madoka's sacrifice and message of hope meaningless. The ending from the anime series and the previous film loses its impact and this causes concern among the fans who became emotionally invested on Madoka's message of hope.

Another problem is the devolution of the Homura character, starting from a weakly girl and evolving into a strong magical girl, Homura becomes what many consider to be a strong underdog who overcame many obstacles to protect what she treasures. However, in "Rebellion" we see what appears to be the beginning of the unraveling of the Homura character, we see the fall of a strong magical girl into what it is presumed to be a form of madness.

==Symbolism==
*During the scene where Homura talks to Sayaka, after the latter saves the former from Mami, they come to a 4 way intersection, and stand across from each other. Sayaka is in front of the area that is blue, while Homura is in front of the area that is red. While inbetween them on the other intersection is the color green. The blue likely represents law & order, while the red represents chaos, and the green represents balance between the two. Red, green, and blue are also the colors your eyes use to see, and it could be a representation that Homura wasn't seeing clearly as she was only looking at it from one perspective.

*A pretty obvious one is during the scene where Homura discovers she's a witch, and in the bakcground kids seem to be shouting Homura. It also is referring to fire, which is commonly associated with Satan.

*The blimps likely symbolize Homura's search for the truth, as they start appearing a little before she begins to doubt this world, and more pop up over the course of the movie, until they come crashing down after she discovers the truth. Their color schemes also match Homura's too.

The Rebellion Story/Spoiler

2014-11-07T01:08:30Z

AntMan9751: Undo revision 62130 by 2601:9:B80:E50:58CD:45CD:9327:BF8 (talk)

{{spoilers}}

== Spoilers ==
[[File:Summary of what happened from each character's perspective.png|thumb|right|150px|A decent summary of what happened from each character's perspective.]]
* Before the movie starts, it asks the audience to please not to make spoilers.
* [[Kyoko Sakura]] and [[Sayaka Miki]] live together
* [[Nagisa Momoe]] is [[Charlotte]].
* [[Hitomi Shizuki]] became a [[Nightmare]] and then was turned back into human form.
* [[Homura Akemi]] becomes something more powerful than "Madokami".
* For some reason at the end of the movie, besides Madoka (partially) and Homura, the only Mahou Shoujo who remembers everything that happened in the movie is Sayaka.
*Sayaka transforms into Oktavia and is able to control her witch form.
*Homura takes over Madoka's responsibilities and her powers, replacing the "Law of Cycles" with her own rules. Technically, Homura dethroned Madoka ending her era of reign, hence the title of "Rebellion".
*While Homura is addressed as the devil by fans/fansubs, the official translation for what Homura calls herself at the end of the movie is Demon, not Devil.
**Homura calls herself ''Akuma'' because she sees herself as a existence that opposes God. Considering that, the translation that fits the most is "devil."
**Demon in Japanese is 悪魔 which is read akuma. The Japanese word akuma means "Demon, Devil; Fiend; Satan; Evil spirit" and is composed of the kanji 悪 (read aku) meaning "evil; bad; wrong" and 魔 (read ma) meaning "witch; demon; evil spirit".
*The first take on Homura's dialogue before the ending of the movie sounds completely different from the final product in terms of emotions. Homura's tone and feelings were toned down, as she sounded "too emotional".

== Observation ==
[[File:Rebellion Explanation Chart.jpg|thumb|250px|This chart explains the plot of the movie.]]
*Just like in the Anime series, Kyubey's greed and plan backfired spectacularly. He tried to capture Madoka with a barrier of his own (after being told of her existence by Homura), but instead it helped Homura to become a much more powerful entity in the process.
*Looking back, "[[Magia]]" lyrics takes a much darker undertone.
**Homura's greedy yearning has no tomorrow.
**Homura's desire for a spell to fight the "sorrow" before her eyes [Madoka's selflessness].
**Madoka is a dreaming memory, only Homura is awake.
**Homura wants an endless dream for both of them.
**Homura's wish literally becomes everything in the new universe.
*Colourful (カラフル ''[[Colorful|karafuru]]'') by ClariS, gives us a hint of what is to come:
**four girls dancing and having fun
**Homura won't join in
**only reaches her hand to grasp Madoka's
**Madoka's hand turns to sand, Homu stands alone in a desert area with a throne
**[[:file:Unknown op homura rebellion.jpg|Devil's earring]] sinking in the sand (?)
*[[Homulilly]]'s appearance in ''Rebellion'' differs greatly from her original appearance in the PSP game. She appears as a huge, distorted version of Homura, with the upper half of her head replaced by a red spider lily. Her minions are twisted versions of the pigtailed Homura from the first few timelines, armed with spears. The long ribbons of the witch's dress act as flexible arms, attacking everything around her.
**The witch's hands are in manacles, and a giant guillotine rises from the ground when she begins to head towards the city. It appears that the witch is trying to reach the guillotine so she can sacrifice herself, which would free everyone else from her witch barrier. This is foreshadowed by an image of Mami and Kyoko beheading Homura in a similar guillotine as she begins to transform into Homulilly.
**The witch initially appears wearing a stereotypical witch's hat which resembles a record player, possibly as a reference to her PSP appearance, but quickly discards it to reveal the red spider lily underneath.
**Red spider lilies also appear when Homura realises she has become a witch.
**The witch has two additional types of minions: minions that resemble human girls (possibly representing fallen magical girls, they were much stronger than other minions in battle) and purple bird-like minions. Interestingly, these minions can still be seen in the new universe, and Homura still seems to be able to control them to an extent. It's unclear why Homura chose to keep her minions, since she claims she is no longer a witch.
**Homura appears to be masking the true forms of her minions in the new universe; in one scene Kyoko is seen feeding apples to the bird-like minions, apparently believing them to be normal birds.
*Sayaka is the only character (apart from Homura) who retains the memories of the previous world.
**In the MadoVerse of the anime series, Sayaka was allowed to retain her memories so she could express her opinion and pass away peacefully with no regrets. In the version of the HomuVerse in "Rebellion" Sayaka is allowed to retain her memories (and her life) so she can express her displeasure and opinion against Homura's actions.
*Ms. Kazuko makes a reference to the coming of an important Holiday in a foreign land and its connection to the end of the world. It is highly possible that she is referring to the [http://www.sonoma.edu/users/v/vegalu/eschatology_files/Chanukah.pdf November 28, 2013 Hanukkah comet], the [http://www.redmoonrapture.com/2014-2015.html 2014-2015 Jewish Holidays], and the [http://www.pray4zion.org/TheComingBloodMoons.html return of the Biblical Savior.]
*Prior to the movie events and at the beginning of the anime series, the universe was first 'Atheistic' (the Mahou Shoujo system was in place and there was no concept of hope, it was ruled by despair), after the anime series ended the universe went to a transformation and became 'Monoistic' (Madoka became the concept of hope and put in place the Law of Cycles). "Rebellion" expands the universe by transforming it once again, and introducing a 'Dualism' system in place. If Madoka represents the concept of hope (selfless love), then Homura represent the concept of love (selfish love).
**However, the system is neither equal nor fair. Madoka's powers are repressed and she is a prisoner in the new reality, indicating that these two powers cannot rule equally. There can only be one ruling entity, which is why Homura tells Madoka that they are [[:file:Homucifer Vs Madokami.jpg|enemies.]]
*If the message from the anime series, was a message of hope. Then message from "Rebellion" is its opposite.
**Urobuchi wasnt kidding when he said fans would hate the new ending, [[:file:2 people before and after watched Madoka movie.jpg|look what it did to these fans.]]
**In the MadoVerse, the message was one of hope, Madoka allowed the universe to retain their free will and she respected the wishes of magical girls so as not to rob them of their sacrifice, the world was not prefect but it was much better than under the old system. But the HomuVerse is assumed to be the opposite. It is deceptively peaceful and happy, Homura was only able to create this universe by robbing Madoka of her free will, erasing her memory, and denying Madoka's wish of salvation thus rending Madoka's message of hope meaningless. Not only that but for Homura to be able to sustain this new reality, she extended her barrier to cover the whole universe, probably as a way to have it under her influence to guarantee that it doesn't create a reason for Madoka to sacrifice herself again.
*Some observers think that at the end Homura is slightly going mad, that it is the beginning of her descend into madness.
*The BGM played in each girl's transformation sequence references a song from the original soundtrack:
**Mami: Salve terrae magicae
**Kyouko: Venari strigas
**Sayaka: Decretum
**Homura: Puella in somnio
**Madoka: Sagitta luminis
*There are a lot of [[wikipedia:Grimms'_Fairy_Tales|Grimm Fairy Tales]] allusions:
**Homura as Sleeping Beauty.
**The pumpkin carriage
**The clock struck at 12.
*''"God is dead"'' is a widely quoted statement by German philosopher [[wikipedia:Friedrich_Nietzsche|Friedrich Nietzsche]].
*According with Shinbou, the Madoka inside Homura's world is the real Madoka, ''"who has lost her memories of becoming a god. She’s not a fake or Homura’s creation. What she says in the field of flowers is what she’s really feeling at the time. That scene may seem overly sentimental at first glance, but if you think of everything Homura does afterward, her feelings will come across more easily."''[http://feral-phoenix.livejournal.com/685568.html#|]
*At the bus station there are signs written in runes, [[:file:Rebellion Runes - 011113 - sign.jpg|they mention the Nutcracker]]. A possible reference to [[wikipedia:The_Nutcracker_and_the_Mouse_King|The Nutcracker and the Mouse King]], a 19th century German story by E. T. A. Hoffman.
**As the Nutcracker Witch, Homully has no teeth or her teeth are familiars that chew for her. In dream interpretation, falling teeth has several significant meanings:[http://dreammoods.com/cgibin/teethdreams.pl?method=exact&header=dreamid&search=teethintro]
***It reflects anxiety, a fear of rejection, sexual impotence or the consequences of getting old. Another interpretation is that teeth are used to bite, tear, chew and gnaw. In this regard, teeth symbolize power. And the loss of teeth in a dream may be from a sense of powerlessness.
***A scriptural interpretation for bad or falling teeth indicates that one is putting one's faith, trust, and beliefs in what humans thinks, rather than in the word of God.
***Many cultures, including the Hispanic and Greek cultures, believe that when you dream about loose, rotten, falling, or missing teeth, then it indicates that a family member or close friend is very sick or even near death.
**It is possible that teeth may be a reference to the [[:wikipedia:Tooth_fairy|Tooth Fairy]]. Unlike Santa Claus and, to a lesser extent, the Easter Bunny, there are few details of the tooth fairy's appearance that are consistent in various versions of the myth. Usually in the West the tooth fairy is depicted as female, a type a fairy with wings. However, in Spanish and Hispanic American cultures the role of the tooth fairy is relegated to the [[:wikipedia:Ratoncito_Pérez|Ratoncito Pérez]] (or Ratón Pérez, "Pérez Mouse" in English)) that originated in Madrid in 1894. As is traditional in some English-speaking countries, when a child loses a tooth it is customary for him or her to place it under the pillow, so that Ratoncito Pérez will exchange it for a gift. The tradition is almost universal in Spanish cultures, but takes different forms in different areas. One of the roles of Homulilly's familiars is to kill "the white rat" (which is Kyubey), perhaps this is a reference to the Ratoncito Pérez.
**The nuts could be a reference to Grief Seeds, as they look like nuts.
**Homulilly's familiars are called "Clara dolls", Clara is the lead character's name in most of [[:wikipedia:The_Nutcracker|The Nutcracker]] ballet versions and there is the reference to [[:file:Witches Artwork 04.jpg|killing rats]] in one of the familiar's card.
***[[:file:Nutcracker set designs.jpg|A relevant set]] from that play by [[:wikipedia:E. T. A. Hoffmann|E. T. A. Hoffmann]]
*Usually victims must enter a Witch's barrier to fall under their trap. However, it is speculated that Homura's Clara Dolls kidnapped specific targets and brought them into Homura's barrier. Only those specific individuals are allowed to enter.
*This is the third time that Homura got beaten by Mami. The first two times happened in the Anime series the same way with Mami's magical ribbons, getting entangled by Mami's ribbons is one of Homura's weaknesses. The only reason she broke free was because Homura took a huge gamble that could have cost her life.
*A '''mare''' or [[:wikipedia:Mare_(folklore)|'''nightmare''']] (Proto-Germanic: ''*marōn''; Old English: ''mære''; Old Norse: ''mara''; German: ''Nachtmahr'') is an evil spirit or goblin in Germanic folklore which rides on people's chests while they sleep, bringing on bad dreams (or "nightmares"). The mare is often similar to the mythical creatures [[:wikipedia:Succubus|succubus]] and [[:wikipedia:Incubus_(demon)|incubus]], and was likely inspired by sleep paralysis.
**The mare was also believed to "ride" horses, which left them exhausted and covered in sweat by the morning. She could also entangle the hair of the sleeping man or beast, resulting in ''"marelocks"'', called ''marflätor'' "mare-braids" or ''martovor'' "mare-tangles" in Swedish or ''marefletter'' and ''marelokker'' in Norwegian.
**Hungarian folklorist [[:wikipedia:Éva_Pócs|Éva Pócs]] traces the core term back to the Greek word μόρος ''moros'', "death".
**According to [[:wikipedia:Paul_Devereux|Paul Devereux]], mares included witches who took on the form of animals when their spirits went out while they were in trance. Animals such as frogs, cats, horses, hares, dogs, oxen, birds and often bees and wasps.
**It is interesting to note that ''mara'', besides being a root-word for nightmare, is also the name of a [[wikipedia:Mara_(demon)|Buddhist deity analogous to the devil]]. Although this may be a coincidence, Homura does ascend to become a Mara-like figure at the end of ''Rebellion''.
*When Kyubey keeps Homura inside an Incubator's isolation field, he compares Homura to a baby chick, ''"you're a like a chick that wasn't able to break its shell and grew up within it."''
**In [[:wikipedia:Revolutionary_Girl_Utena|Revolutionary Girl Utena]], Touga Kiryuu utters [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dwud_XQGjhQ a same sentiment about the students and the world.]
**Even if this was just an observational opinion regarding Homura's entrapment within the field. It can also be interpreted as a observational point regarding Homura's emotional state of mind. Homura keeps her emotions bottle up and in check, as away to avoid despair and a sense of hopelessness. As a result one could interpret Homura's behavior as a fear of getting hurt by hiding her real emotions, forced to mature mentally and rapidly in a way to survive her ordeal at the cost of not being able to properly develop a healthy emotional growth in a well adjusted environment.

== Speculation ==
[[File:Map of the changed timelines or worlds raw.jpg|right|thumb|Map of the new world]]
*Homura becomes the opposite existence of Madoka.
**The new entity known as Homura is neither a magical girl nor a Witch. She is neither the product of hope/wish nor despair, she is the product of love.
***According with Homura, it was not grief that stained her Soul Gem, it was love, because her mind was always focused on Madoka.
*** More precisely, Homura says that what tainted her Soul Gem ''changed'' from being a curse. It's possible that Homura's new power came from Kyubey's Isolation Field, which not only prevented Homura from being taken by the Law of Cycles but also prevented her despair from breaking out of her Soul Gem and becoming a Grief Seed. Unable to burst out of it's shell, Homura's grief entered a new state, like how carbon becomes diamond under high pressure.
*Some observers suggest that the ending theme "Your Silver Garden" (君の銀の庭 ''[[Kimi no Gin no Niwa]]'') is about Homura and her reasons that she betrayed Madoka.
**''"The guardian/of your young slumber—/The gateway to adulthood is tightly shut"'', this is interpreted as Homura's refusal to grow up and her attempt to her childish sleep.
**''"Have you realized/that the truth/always lies in the past?/All futures and hope/are but a selfish story/envisioned by someone in a distant garden"'', this is interpreted to mean that the future is uncertain and unknown, that the past is much more pleasing.
**''"Stay softly with me,/please don't leave me/Chirp your song by my window,/even in loss"'', this is interpreted as Homura telling Madoka not to go, even if she becomes her prisoner.
*It is speculated that even when a magical girl becomes a witch, she still has her consciousness, although such consciousness is distorted and has much difference from the reality.
*There were numerous references to a "black salamander/lizard" motive throughout the movie, with the most obvious being Homura's earring shaped as a black lizard.
**One of the most common myths about lizards is that they symbolize death and resurrection.
**In Christian ideology the lizard is a more ambivalent symbol. All reptiles can be viewed as paler versions of the potent symbol represented by the snake or serpent. Taken alone on it's own merits the lizard is said to represent "contemplative ecstasy"[http://www.hennapage.com/journal/issue_I/article_2/page2.html]
**The salamander represents those who pass through the fires of passion and of this world without stain. Therefore, it stands for chastity, loyalty, impartiality, virginity, courage, Jesus, Mary, and the faithful. The salamander is also used to symbolize the flames, which it passes through, and so is a symbol of fire, temptation, and burning desire. It was considered the "king of fire" and as such was representative of Christ who would baptize with the flames of the Holy Spirit. Cloquet considers Christ the salamander king of fire because he passed through the fires of hell after his crucifixion without harm.[http://monsters.monstrous.com/salamander.htm] It should be noted Homura's name can be translated as "flame".
**Some prevalent symbolism of the salamander include:[http://www.symbolic-meanings.com/2008/03/04/light-my-fire-symbolism-of-the-salamander/]
***Energy
***Courage
***Renewal
***Determination
***Resurrection
***Balance
***Adaptation
***Spirituality
**The salamander gets it solar animal status from several sources. Primarily, we see this aspect in ancient alchemical illustrations where the salamander is depicted in flames. Alchemists held the salamander to be a fire-eater and able to quench fire with its cool, moist body. In the alchemical philosophy, anything that had the power to transform something into something else was hugely important.
***Furthermore, early Christianity held the salamander as a symbol of spiritual integrity, chastity, and righteousness. The sign of the salamander indicated true faith, and the ability to survive the “fire of temptation.”
****Medieval and heraldic art depicted the salamander as a symbol for bravery. It was often painted in the background of heroic portraits to indicate the mark of courage.
*Remember Homura's original wish? ''"I want to redo my meeting with Madoka. But this time, instead of her protecting me, I want to become strong enough to protect her!"''
**Originally it was interpreted as the wish that allowed Homura to travel back in time to redo her meeting with Madoka, it also meant that there was a role reversal with Homura becoming stronger and active while Madoka became a weaker character and took a more passive role. That was the original intent. However, with the new ending in "Rebellion", the meaning and purpose of Homura's wish takes a new role and it probably expands its meaning. If we consider the ending of the series, one can make the argument that Homura's wish was only partially fulfilled but that in the end it failed, because Homura failed to protect Madoka. Not only from stopping Madoka from becoming a Witch, but also from stopping her from taken the burden of becoming the concept of hope, as a result one can say that Homura's wish went unfulfilled and it was a failure. Until the end of "Rebellion" that is, in the movie we see that Homura's wish has finally come to its conclusion by allowing Homura to become a new entity whose role is to protect and guard Madoka's happiness, at the expense of the Law of Cycles and against Madoka's wishes. A clear proof that the role reversal is finally complete is when Madoka is introduced as a shy transfer student and Homura shows her around the school, a complete reversal from the original series.
***If one thinks about it, Kyubey has been done in not by one but by two wishes!
***You could say that Homura just did what Madoka asked her to do. The reason that Homura became a magical girl was because she wanted to protect Madoka. In the 2nd timeline, Madoka even asked her to stop her foolish self from becoming a magical girl. In the last timeline she failed, and Madoka became a god-like entity. At the end, Homura returns everything to 'normal' so she kept her promise, more or less. Whatever reality looks like, Madoka is now safe from QB and from despair.
*If the anime series was based on "Faust", then "Rebellion" could be based somewhat on "Paradise Lost".
*It is speculated that the reason Homura made Madoka human again is because Madoka was not happy with being the entity of hope, she only did it out of duty.
**Another possible explanation, is that Homura feared what would Kyubey do if he succeeded in capturing Madoka, the best way to deal with him was for Homura and Madoka to switch, taking Madoka's power and Making Homura the new ruling entity of the universe.
*It is also speculated that by making Madoka as transfer student, Homura may have a chance to get closer to Madoka more than Sayaka was. Remember, Sayaka and Madoka had been childhood friends long before in EVERY Timeline, and Homura was only a transferred student to Madoka.
** Also Homura may have tried to improve Madoka's English since she got bad grades in previous timelines.
*Since Madoka can see and know the past, present, and future, she should have known this was going to happen to her.
**That can't be true, because Madokami literally screamed and asked Homura to stop. And she would never try to reawake later. Madoka felt uncomfortable in Homura's world, because Homura supressed her.
**It is possible she allowed for things to unfold as it was predestined to happen.
***Another possible explanation is that perhaps Madoka really wanted to be a normal girl again.
***Or perhaps Madoka saw no other way to save Homura.
***It's also possible that losing her memories of the event right afterwards created a blank spot in her future sight.
*** There's another possible explanation. Madoka exists at every point in space and time. However, the moment Homura grabs her breaks time and space and changes the past and future. In other words, even from Madoka's omniscient perspective Homura grabbing at the critical moment hasn't happened yet.
****That doesn't make any sense. If Madoka existed at every point of time, Homura, Mami, Kyouko would be already taken to the law of cycles somewhen in future. Homura, Kyouko would never be separated from Madoka, Sayaka. But they clearly aren't in the law of cycles yet. So that means certain future doesn't exist. And it perfectly explains why Madoka didn't see Homura's actions, and she was probably just trying to calm down Homura in 12th episode by stating that she would never be alone.
** '''Actually''' the truth is simple! Remember, Madoka is omniscient because she exists in all of space and time. Kyubey's Isolation Field actually blocked Madoka from reaching Homura's Soul Gem...but what the show doesn't say is that ''it also blocked Madoka's omniscience!'' Since Madoka can't enter Homura's Soul Gem, she does not have absolute knowledge of what will happen. And when she does enter the Soul Gem, she loses her memories, her powers, and ''she's not experiencing all of time at once''; she appears in the form of a human, living time linearly. And when the Isolation Field is broken, Madoka regains her memories and powers...but not her omniscience because ''she's still in the form of a human, living time linearly''! (That's why Mami and Kyoko could see her.) Thus, Madoka couldn't predict Homura's actions at all! And it was all Kyubey's fault! (Heck, he's the one who told Homura that if Madoka can be observed, she can be interfered with...)
*The children of the fake city repeatedly say "Fort! Da!" right before Homura realizes she's a witch.
**"Fort!" and "Da!" are exclamations that Sigmund Freud heard his grandson Ernst utter while playing. This pair of words—meaning "Gone!" and "There!"—has become shorthand for repetition in early childhood, and for the primary processes that such behavior mobilizes.[http://www.answers.com/topic/fort-da]
***This is interpreted as the children of the fake city finding pleasure in making things go away and then finding them again, the Clara Dolls represent Homura's personality.
*Homura ([[Homulilly]]) maybe have a connection to [[wikipedia:Lilith|Lilith]], from the Old Testament[http://cishet.tumblr.com/post/65623363997/happy-halloween-lets-talk-about-homulily].
**Lilith is a pre-Christian, Babylonian demon, the most powerful of all succubus, who seduces man, deceives women, and steals children. She, working alongside with the incubus, impregnates mortals to propagate a new race call cambion. Christianity identifies the Lilith with the snake of the Garden of Eden, and also as Adam's first wife in an effort to reconcile the two origin stories in Genesis.
*By making Madoka a transfer student, Madoka's and Sayaka's childhood friendship never took place to develop. How will this affect their current relationship is hard to say.
** Various materials have established that Sayaka and Madoka were childhood friends. While it's likely that they would have still been friends as children in Homura's new world, Madoka moving to America probably strained their friendship.
*To protect Madoka and her secrets Homura wanted to die, so she tried to prevent Madoka from purifying her Soul Gem as it would mean that Kyubey would be able to observe and learn of Madoka's secrets and her powers so they could control her in the future.
**If Homura in her Witch form were to die inside the barrier, theoretically Homulilly's barrier would collapse and that would free Madoka and company from Homura's dream world.
*During the scene with the field of flowers, Madoka is trying to braid Homura's hair back into Homura's old hair style, perhaps an attempt to regress Homura back into her innocent and shy self.
**Homura gives back to Madoka her red ribbon, not only as a sign of returning something precious to her, but perhaps it is an attempt to reclaim back the old Madoka from the past, a regular and normal girl.
***In the ending scene, this gesture signifies Homura's realization that she cannot control Madoka regardless of whatever world she creates that they can be together and that her actions, which led to her descent into darkness, will inevitably lead to a struggle between them. This is a reverse mirror of the actions of Madoka trying to braid Homura's hair in the witch world, an attempt at conformity and acceptance of peace and harmony albeit constructed and false, except that with Homura tying Madoka's hair with the red ribbon she is restoring her true identity. Homura also acknowledges this by commenting that the red ribbons "really do look best on you" (a symbol of Madoka's true self) as compared to the yellow ribbons (her false identity created by Homura). Viewers should note that she cries when stating this, knowing that eventually Madoka will break away from the world and become her enemy. The final scene after the credits shows Homura smiling at her transformed Soul Gem (her new identity as an antithesis to Madoka) upon realizing that her wish to always be with Madoka has come true albeit in a cruel twisted fashion. Madoka who represents light and Homura who represents darkness are now natural opposing forces in the universe.
*During the post-credit sequence the Moon is missing half of its part (notice the light of the stars shining where they shouldnt be), the moon is physically cut off somehow. Indicating that something is amiss.
**At the same scene, at the top of a cliff we see [[:file:Chairs rebellion.png|Homura sitting on a single chair]], the scene is similar to the Opening of Madoka Magica movies ([[Luminous]]). But instead, just like the moon, we only see half of the field and only a single chair, with no Madoka next to Homura.
***While Homura was tilting her head in the chair, some fans suggest she was imagining Madoka was there, and then when she was looking behind her in the direction of the rustling grass, some fans suggest she was hoping to see Madoka approaching her.
* Near the end of the movie, some Clara Dolls can be seeing jumping off from a cliff, close to its edge we can see a large row of scattered shoes around. It is speculated that this is a symbolic image for in Japan those that attempt suicide tend to remove their shoes first before jumping/hanging themselves. We saw the same thing happen in the Madoka series with the [[Minor_Characters#Office_Lady|office lady]] when she took off her shoes before jumping from a building.
** You would notice the Clara Dolls are not wearing shoes when jumping.
* In the post-credits Kyubey emerges from some plants, looking healthy. Homura pulls out her gem and they start dancing. When we next see Kyubey he looks disheveled and even seems to be quivering, suggesting that Homura has somehow affected his mind. It's possible that Homura is actually placing all the curses and despair of the world onto Kyubey, both as revenge and to ensure that the curses cannot affect anyone else. One might say Kyubey is finally paying for all the things he has done.
*As Homura sat on the chair overlooking the cliff with the corpse of a Kyubey close to her, it invoked the imagery of the [[:wikipedia:The_Fool_(Tarot_card)|fool from the tarot cards]]. In tarot the fool is shown as a young man, walking unknowingly toward the brink of a precipice and he appears to be getting chased away by an animal, either a dog or a cat. According with the symbolism, ''"the fool is the spirit in search to a new journey and new experiences. He represents cleverness bereft of reason within us, the childlike ability to tune into the inner workings of the world. The sun shining behind him represents the divine nature of the Fool's wisdom and exuberance, holy madness or 'crazy wisdom'. On his back are all the possessions he might need. In his hand there is a flower, showing his appreciation of beauty. He is frequently accompanied by a dog, sometimes seen as his animal desires, sometimes as the call of the "real world", nipping at his heels and distracting him. He is seemingly oblivious that he is walking toward a precipice, apparently about to step off."''
*It is speculated that the Clara Dolls are aspects and characteristics of Homura's personality. Love, the last of the Clara Dolls remains unopened in her package. It is speculated that the reason is that Homura wont let go of her love.
**It is possible that there is a similarity to the myth of [[:wikipedia:Pandora|Pandora's box]]. In the Myth "hope" is entrapped in a box, suggesting that either hope has been denied to humanity and made prisoner; or hope has been kept in the box as a way to retain hope for humanity. Similarly, "Madoka" has been kept a prisoner inside of Homura's world, some have interpreted this as a way to deny the world of Madoka's hope, but it can also be interpreted as Homura's way to safeguard Madoka's hope away from Kyubey's nefarious plans.
*It is suspected that if Homura hadn't interfere, the ending of the movie would involve [[Yuri_undertones#Manga_Difference:_The_Miracle|MadoKami taking Homura to Heaven with her]], [[:file:161.jpg|similar to the manga]].
*During the movie sequence the city's aqueducts are encircled to form what looks like the [[:file:Tower of babel rebellion aqueduct.png|Tower of Babel.]]

===Fallen Angel Homura:===
[[File:Rebellion Runes - 010208 - ICH MOCHTE UNSEREN KUNDEN DANKEN.jpg|right|thumb|200px|15th [[Clara Dolls|Clara Doll]], Ai (Love), wearing a black dress. Ai represents Madoka, which is why she is wearing Madoka's magical girl outfit.]]

Since Homura declares to Madoka that they are enemies, this makes her her opponent as Homura opposes Madoka's will and her wishes. One can view this as Homura fallen into the role of the devil for going against what Madoka believes to be right.

'''Satan in Judaism:''' The original Hebrew term, satan, is a noun from a verb meaning primarily to, “obstruct, oppose,”. Satan is traditionally translated as “the accuser,” or “the adversary.” In Judaism, Satan is a term used since its earliest biblical contexts, to refer to a human opponent. Thus, Satan is personified as a character in three different places, serving as an accuser, a seducer, or as a heavenly persecutor who is "among the sons of God". In any case, Satan is always subordinate to the power of God, having a role in the divine plan.

'''Satan in Christianity:''' Christian tradition and theology changed "Satan" from an accuser appointed by God to test men's faith to God's godlike fallen opponent: "the Devil". Traditionally, Christians have understood the Devil to be the author of lies and promoter of evil'. However, the Devil can go no further than the word of Christ the Logos allows, [[wikipedia:Problem_of_evil#Christianity|resulting in the problem of evil']].

As Lucifer's or Satan's motive for rebelling and as the nature of his sin, Christian writers mention pride against God or, less often, envy of humanity created in the image of God. According to Tertullian the Devil was jealous of humans, created in the divine image and given authority over the world, and an 18th-century French Capuchin preacher, citing Tertullian and Augustine as giving envy as the motive for the fall, describes the Rebel Angel as jealous of Adam's exaltation, which he saw as a diminution of his own status.

'''Satan in Islam''': In Islam the Devil is known as Iblīs or Shayṭān, it has no name corresponding in meaning to that of the Latin word lucifer. Iblis is banished from heaven for refusing to prostrate himself before Adam. Thus, he sins after the creation of man. He then swears revenge by tempting human beings and turning them away from God. While in Judaism and Christianity, Satan is a fallen angel, Iblis is a jinn. Muslims believe that angels are the servants of God and cannot disobey him, but jinn, like men, can choose to obey or disobey.

'''Satan in Luciferianism''': Luciferianism is a belief system that venerates the essential characteristics that are affixed to Lucifer. The tradition, influenced by Gnosticism, usually reveres Lucifer not as the Devil, but as a liberator or guiding spirit, or even the true god as opposed to Jehovah.

'''Satan in Satanism''': Satanic groups have various opinions about Satan, ranging from the conviction that he exists and ought to be worshipped, to Anton Szandor LaVey's symbolic interpretation, which emphasizes individual will and pleasure-seeking.

====The Comparison to Lucifer====
While the comparison between Homura and the devil/Lucifer seems inevitable, we have to avoid the temptation of falling into the false logic that the comparison is without its flaws.

Jealousy

In one story it is stated that Lucifer was jealous of the human race, that they were not worthy and undeserving of God's love.

The argument states that Homura has done a lot for Madoka, sacrificing so much for her, and helping her ascend into a higher plane existence. As a result, Homura should be worthy of Madoka's love and praise. The reason that Homura sacrificed so much for Madoka is because she loves her. Homura put ups with so much suffering because of her, yet Madoka, instead of reciprocating Homura's feelings, she cannot help but to love everyone equally. As a result Madoka avoids picking up favorites. The argument is that Homura was jealous of Madoka's unconditional love for everyone, and this lead us to assume that Homura believes herself to be worthy of being Madoka's favorite and explains the reason why Homura went against Madoka's wishes.

However, this argument has a terrible flaw. It assumes that Homura's actions were driven by jealousy, yet there is no indication that this is the case. While is true that Madoka loves everyone equally, and perhaps Homura wished for Madoka to be a bit more selfish and stop thinking about others at the expense of her own self, there is no indication of jealousy against anyone. Homura didnt expect special treatment from Madoka, she was quite happy with Madoka's relationship already (except when there was a distance between them that took place because of the time reset in the anime series). If anything, Homura wanted Madoka to be able to live happily for her own sake at the expense of abandoning her duties and obligations toward others.

Pride

Lucifer was the first of Angels and chief among them, Archangel Michael was only second to him, Lucifer's devotion to God was not only driven by love but also by pride. God's love for humanity was troubling for Lucifer, for he couldnt comprehend why such an inferior creature should receive such equal love and worthy praise from God, as if making them equals to him. As a result of this friction Lucifer rebelled.

However, just like the jealousy argument the pride argument falls flat. While is true that Homura became stronger to please Madoka, she also did it to help her out of pure devotion to her, not out of pride. Not only that, but Homura's devotion for Madoka never turned her into an arrogant or prideful character. There may have been moments of something like pride and moments of stubbornness, but nothing to indicate to be egotistical in nature. When Homura's goal felt short, she did not despair out of arrogance nor she boasted hubris in her accomplishments. Instead she was too focused on Madoka and her well being.

Disobedience

This argument seems to fit with the Lucifer argument, that Lucifer went against God's wishes, that he went against God's plan for humanity, so did Homura and as result it makes them to be the same. But this argument seems to overlook motive behind Homura's actions. Lucifer's actions were driven by personal ambition, pride, or even jealousy, as stated previously. But Homura's motives behind her actions are the opposite, she did it because she cared for Madoka too much, she wanted to free Madoka from the burdens of being a prisoner to her duties and her devotion and love for others. She also did it to protect Madoka from Kyubey, the complete opposite of Lucifer's intentions. The only reason Homura is Madoka's enemy is because of their opposite views about what is best for Madoka.

Devil's advocate

Homura's motivations and beliefs don't demonstrate a pattern of similar behavior to that of Lucifer's. Lucifer was jealous of humans; Homura wasn't jealous of anyone. Lucifer was boastful, prideful, and arrogant; Homura was stubborn, and she never surrendered under pressure but only because she did it for Madoka's sake, not for her own interest. Homura disagreed with Madoka's plan because it came down to sacrificing Madoka's happiness for everyone else's. The problem with the Lucifer comparison is that the concept is too broad with some of the elements. It has similarities but the minor details tells a different story. Lucifer was a selfish and jealous angel/demon, and he wanted to take God down so he could rule in his stead, ''"Better to reign in Hell, than serve in Heaven."'' God's happiness was never a factor. Other than dethroning Madoka, going against her wishes, and perhaps loving her too much, the comparison seems to be a bit unfair but understandable.
*We know from the series that the power of the wish and it's intent slowly turn on you, like Sayaka's love for Kyousuke eventually twisting her love into hating everything. If we look at Homura's love for Madoka to repeatedly go through hell to try and save her, only to lose her completely eventually, the love she had would twist into everything said here. The understanding that Madoka sacrificed herself to save everyone turns into Jealousy that she can't have Madoka to herself, that she has enough pride in herself to think she can do things better by lying to everyone fits and same with the disobedience. But we're not really talking about Homura anymore, Homura has been corrupted into a vastly different God-Witch version of Homulilly, who see's everything as being wrong and deciding to change things.

=== Homura's State of Mind ===
Homura's personality and mental state has radically changed by the end of the film. There are several speculations as to why or how it happened.

'''Corruption of the mind:''' During the transition process from a human/magical girl into what it is now a new entity, Homura's mind became corrupted or altered during the transformation process. Homura is not human, she is not a magical girl, she is not even a Witch, she something completely different, as a result this is a different Homura.

'''Mental Stress:''' Considering Homura's mental state prior to the movie, it is surprising that she hasn't suffered from a complete mental breakdown before. Homura saw her friends die countless times, had to repeat an endless nightmarish cycle through time and space, almost lost her life countless times, and then she was forced to part away from Madoka, the person she sacrificed everything for, let us not forget prior to being a magical girl Homura was riddled with insecurities, (possible) family abandonment, a weak physical body, and being bullied in school. Add that with the torture she had to go through under Kyubey's experiment, and it becomes clear that it was probably too much for an already fragile mind.

'''Homura's Insecurities and fears:''' While Homura presents herself to be strong and compose, inside she is still that weak and insecure little girl, she always was. Homura was always wearing a mask to keep the appearance and impression that she has things under control. In the anime series we saw moments when Homura's strong exterior felt apart momentarily. It is those fears that are driving Homura to take drastic measures, the fear of losing Madoka again and she believes that the only way to guarantee Madoka's happiness is by taking control of the situation.

'''Natural Progression:''' Homura is a survivalist, she adapts to the situation as it suits her, when she was weak she looked up to Madoka for inspiration and help, when she lost Madoka she tried to become stronger to protect her. Now that she is a powerful entity, she believes it is her responsibility and duty to take matters with her own hands.

'''The Real Homura all along:''' Rather than power corrupting one person, it is suggested that power actually reveals ones true self. Perhaps what we are witnessing is Homura's true nature. Homura used to be a weak girl, bullied by classmates and dependent on the kindness of others. Now that she is an all powerful being, unrestrained by human weakness or limitation, she is allowed to do anything she wants, and probably what she always wanted to do but was afraid to do so.

===Gone mad from the revelation?===
Another possibility is that Homura is not really evil but actually found something about Madoka that drove her off the deep end.

If you remember clearly, Madoka's wish was to erase all witches from existence before they're even born, in the universe, from the past and the future, with her own hands. Hence Madoka became an entity who removed from existence all magical girls who became witches and placed them in another dimension of her own.

There is a catch, however, Madoka never wished she would take their souls to another dimension.

This whole movie took place inside an entire reality created inside Homura's soul gem, a barrier which reflected her ideal world where everything happened in the way she dreamed of and which began to crumble once she realized she had been living a farce threatening her friends. In other words, Homura experienced what it's like to be an oblivious god living in a world made by your wishes until you realize your own folly and crumbles in despair.

This is where things get worse, the moment Madoka was restored and came to take her soul, Homura realized that Madoka wasn't just erasing witches, she was absorving the souls of all witches into her barrier '''HEAVEN''' and living in her own fake world rid of misfortune. This is why all witches in the movie could retain their consciousness and switch into magical girls, because their grief was erased by Madoka's barrier which gave them an "afterlife" free of suffering.

It was that cruel realization, that Madoka's wish of hope only trapped her in a false happiness of godhood, which broke Homura utterly and made her change into a dark deity hellbent on suppressing Madoka's wish.

If Homura could remake the '''MORTAL WORLD''' into something free of witches and suffering, then Madoka would think that Homura's world was already heaven and wouldn't try to become a saviour at the expense of her own sacrifice.

Considering the lengths Homura goes to protect Madoka, it would make perfect sense if she was willing to trade Madoka's love for her ire and disapproval if that meant not letting Madoka ever realize she became a lotus eater machine for every magical girl who died.

*this would imply the entire post-series pre-rebellion universe is Madoka's barrier, for her to be able to take the despair of magical girls despite being outside of her heaven.
*However Madoka destroyed her witch self, as her wish to erase all witches includes herself, this theory would depend upon a God's haven working in a similar way to a witches' barrier or Homura believing they do. Sayaka seemed to remember exactly what happened to her where as Homura's lotus eater machine messed with people's memories.
**So far there was no evidence of witches erasing the memories of people who came to their barrier at any point until Homulilly, even then so, Ultimate Madoka is clearly something else than a witch, like Homura she is something above witches and magical girls but instead of creating a barrier geared towards making reality her playground she made her "space" outside the real world for the sake of giving rest and healing to the soul of all meguka. What drives the corrupted Homura insane is the fact Madoka is not aware she makes this heaven regardless of her own personal happiness, she is being driven by her '''merciful''' nature to guide all of these souls to her blissful barrier were they no longer suffer, unaware if that's her personal choice or just a cursed existence ignorant to her self-imposed enslavement.
***Just a point. When Madoka make her wish, she was aware all magical girls eventually die, as all living things do. So maybe, she just goes as thing went normally, sending their souls to her "heaven" (It can't be named "Barrier" because it is exclusively for Witches/Nightmares, and Madokami ins't a witch/nightmare). Or according a Buddhism, she start a reincarnation cycle.

=== Is Homura selfish? ===

Well, it's complicated.

Selfish can be defined as ''"[http://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/selfish concerned excessively or exclusively with oneself: seeking or concentrating on one's own advantage, pleasure, or well-being without regard for others]"''.

In the movie it becomes clear that Homura's philosophy is the opposite of Madoka's. Whereas Madoka believes she should sacrifice herself for the world, Homura believes the world should sacrifice itself for Madoka. That Homura is willing to sacrifice herself for Madoka is laudable, that she is willing to sacrifice others is not. That Homura is willing to become Madoka's enemy, to kidnap and imprison Madoka in order to make a world where Madoka can be happy, is disturbing.

In other words, Homura only cares about her own desire, which means she is selfish. However, her own desire is the happiness of another person - and she is willing to sacrifice her own life, happiness, and morality to achieve that. Thus, Homura's selfishness almost seems paradoxical. It is a self-denying selfishness, a selfishness where one desire is placed above all others. One could say that in the end, Homura is practicing absolute selfishness, sacrificing ''all'' to achieve her one desire.

Homrua's behaviour refers to "Solipsism"

===Junko's Words of Wisdom:===
In [[Episode 6]] of Madoka Magica, Madoka has a problem. She wants to help Sayaka, but she doesn't know how. She believes Sayaka is on the right, but the more Sayaka tries to do the right thing, the worst it is for her because it doesn't cause her happiness. When Madoka confides this to her mom, Junko advices Madoka to ''[[Madoka_Magica_Episode_6:_This_Just_Isn%27t_Right#Observations|"do something wrong"]]'' to balance things out. According with Junko, someone needs to be in the right, and someone needs to be in the wrong.

If we take Junko's words at heart, the heart of the matter in "Rebellion" reveals itself. Madoka as the concept of hope is burdened with responsibilities that go beyond for a little girl to handle, Madoka is separated from her family, she is not allowed to grow up normally into healthy adulthood. Instead she is forced to accept adult responsibilities at such a young age, and she must carry the burdens of the whole universe by herself, alone. But Madoka wont abandon her new role nor will she allow the universe to be in a chaotic state. As a result Madoka is, rather than a savior of the universe, a prisoner to her responsibilities, or at least that seems to be how Homura sees it. It is possible that Homura wants to give a happy ending to Madoka, ''"but you can't expect a happy ending just by doing what's right all the time."''

Homura realizes that in order to protect Madoka, and the world that she loves, Homura must act in a way that is not nice/pleasant to outside observers, ''"even if it's not the nicest way to do it."'' Since Madoka wont abandon her duties as Ultimate Madoka and her role within the universe that she watches over, she will never experience a normal life as long as she is bound by duty and her noble sentiment. This is the source that causes Madoka to sacrifice her life and her happiness for the greater good, a noble act but one that Homura understands doesn't bring happiness to Madoka, even if Madoka wont admit it herself. Homura ''"has to be in the wrong to balance out [Madoka's] need to be in the right."'' It is for this reason that Homura takes such a treacherous and drastic action against Madoka, realizing that there is no other way to help her.

Homura warns Madoka that they may become enemies someday because she doesn't know if Madoka will ever come to understand Homura's choice. ''"She may or may not. Especially at first. [...] it might not be the nicest way to do it. But would [Homura] rather give up on her, or give [Madoka] the wrong idea about [her]?"'' Homura would never give up on Madoka, so she accepts the latter as a possible consequence of her actions.

In conclusion, Homura acted out of selfish desire to make Madoka happy, because Madoka's was trying to make everyone happy but herself.

===Alternate, Non-Dualist Theory===

It is possible that the focus on dualism and the idea of Homura becoming a Lucifer-like figure is fundamentally misunderstanding what happened in the ending of The Rebellion Story. There are somewhat obvious problems with the idea of dualism- for one, in the new universe, Madokami doesn't appear to have any real power. In order for dualism to truly exist, both opposing forces must have equal power, this is clearly not the case. Akuma Homura essentially just overthrew the existing order, but absorbed Madokami within her, imprisoning her along with the entire universe in her witch's barrier, which really ceases to be one once it covers the whole universe.

First, we need to step back and look at what Homura actually did. She created a new world that was presumably peaceful and stable, there are no magical girls who fight endlessly into inevitable despair, and presumably she can twist the world to eliminate the curses that need to be fought. She takes all the despair into herself. Recall that Homura's first real questioning of her own fake Mitakihara was "can we really continue fighting forever?" That world is how it is because endless fighting is all Homura really knows, and by questioning it she ultimately questions all she's ever known. She constructed the fake Mitakihara as an ideal world initially- one where magical girls could continue to fight evil with no real negative consequences, thus still giving them their wishes and purpose. She then rebels against this notion, tearing down her own vision of utopia because she no longer sees it that way, she wants a world without magical girls.

Now we can go back farther before the movie and look at what Madoka actually did. She never pursued or was granted the powers of an actual omnipotent god, she never looked to rewrite the entire universe. Technically, she doesn't even fully gets rid of witches, she just absorbs the despair into herself and allows the magical girls to pass away peacefully without becoming monsters and corrupting others. But that is the extent of her power, and even she is not immune from despair and corruption, indeed we see Madokami's witch attempting to devour the world, but Madokami was able to save herself just as she was able to save everyone else. Curses and negative feelings still exist at the same levels they did before, they just now manifest into Wraiths, which can be interpreted as the raw manifestation of negative feelings rather than corruptions of magical girls. The most important thing here is that all the laws of the universe that existed long before Madokami are still intact after Madoka's wish.

Now recall perhaps the biggest revelation in the new movie: the Incubators were obviously unsatisfied with the power attained from the wraiths, and after seeing the truth about witches within Homura, it was the Incubators thirst that sought Madokami's power, either to take her power or destroy her so they could go back to the more lucrative witch system. This is the detail that makes Homura's decision-making much less confusing, and in fact, completely understandable. As she breaks out of the prison with the help of the others, and Madokami comes down to take her to Valhalla, she knows she cannot let that happen. Why? Because she knows what they don't: the Incubators are after Madoka. They will continue to experiment and to pervert existing magical girls as they did with her in order to find a way to destroy Madoka. So, she uses her last remaining strength to usurp Madoka, take her power, and imprison her. Why? It's quite simple, and Homura states it explicitly: love.

The one constant throughout the entire series is that Homura loves Madoka, and her wish was one that ensure that she would be able to protect her. Indeed, that is her singular purpose in life to protect Madoka at literally any cost- even if it means becoming the demon that usurps her power, even if it means becoming her enemy. She had to find a way to end the Incubators and their schemes once and for all, even if it meant having to hurt Madoka and imprison her in the new universe, which bends to no rules but Homura's. And, recalling Sayoktavia's words from earlier in the movie: is an entity which creates a paradise like this truly one that is bad, and should be opposed? Homura sees herself as a devil-like figure, and of course she would, doing what she did despairs her greatly, but it needed to be done in order to protect Madoka. But is she truly bad, or Devil-like for creating a world without curses? Was it truly madness or insanity that drove her to do it, or was she thinking more clearly and logically than anyone else?

Ultimately, it brings us to one thesis: Just as Madoka had to become a magical girl to reach her ends of eliminating the suffering and corruption of magical girls, Homura had to become a witch to protect that system, to suffer forever for the sake of keeping the universe stable. There is dualism, but yet there is not, there is only Homura, using the power of Madoka's sacrifice to finally stabilize things and create her own true vision of utopia.

Where it goes from here depends on whether a sequel eventually will come. It could end in that state, with Homura maintaining the universe in her order. It might end in a way that allows both the existence of Madoka and Homura to merge- or perhaps they will both finally be able to pass and have their existences end, as all things do.

==="Gott ist tot" and Nietzsche [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vzRbCrIWURY]===
<blockquote>'''Homura:''' "Escaping into this impossible world. Abandoning the responsibility to fight wraiths. Such weakness... I'll never be able to forgive. Magical girls... Have no choice but to continue fighting. That is... The price we pay for our miracle. It was for our sakes that... She... Sacrificed herself to try to save us. {{Runes|WER TRÄUMT?}} '''Homura:'''This farce... Is just making light of Madoka's sacrifice! I won't forgive this!" '''Clara Dolls:''' "Gott ist tot! Gott ist tot! Gott ist tot!"</blockquote>

Friedrich Nietzsche is known for what some consider to be his [[:wikipedia:Philosophy_of_Friedrich_Nietzsche|controversial philosophy]]. He called himself an "immoralist" and harshly criticized the prominent moral philosophies of his day: Christianity, [[:wikipedia:Kantianism|Kantianism]], and [[:wikipedia:Utilitarianism|utilitarianism]]. Nietzsche was also known for being very critical of the Western belief in [[:wikipedia:egalitarianism|egalitarianism]] and [[:wikipedia:rationality|rationality]].

Nietzsche saw [[:wikipedia:Nihilism|nihilism]] as the outcome of repeated frustrations in the search for meaning. He diagnosed nihilism as a latent presence within the very foundations of European culture, and saw it as a necessary and approaching destiny. Nietzsche argued that Western culture must face and transcend in the wake of the irreparable dissolution of its traditional foundations, moored largely in classical Greek philosophy and Christianity.

====GOOD AND EVIL====

In [[:wikipedia:Beyond_Good_And_Evil|Beyond Good And Evil]] and ''On the Genealogy of Morality'', Nietzsche's genealogical account of the development of modern moral systems occupies central place. For Nietzsche, a fundamental shift took place from thinking in terms of "good" and "bad" toward "good" and "evil."

Nietzsche argued that two types of morality existed: a master morality that springs actively from the "noble man", and a slave morality that develops reactively within the weak man. These two moralities do not present simple inversions of one another. They form two different value systems: master morality fits actions into a scale of 'good' or 'bad' whereas slave morality fits actions into a scale of "good" or "evil".

The initial form of morality was set by a warrior aristocracy and other ruling castes of ancient civilizations. Aristocratic values of "good" and "bad" coincided with and reflected their relationship to lower castes such as slaves. Nietzsche presented this "master morality" as the original system of morality—perhaps best associated with Homeric Greece. To be "good" was to be happy and to have the things related to happiness: wealth, strength, health, power, etc. To be "bad" was to be like the slaves over which the aristocracy ruled, poor, weak, sick, pathetic—an object of pity or disgust rather than hatred.

"Slave morality" comes about as a reaction to master-morality. Here, value emerges from the contrast between good and evil: good being associated with other-worldliness, charity, piety, restraint, meekness, and submission; and evil seen as worldly, cruel, selfish, wealthy, and aggressive. Nietzsche sees slave morality as pessimistic and fearful, values for them serving only to ease the existence for those who suffer from the very same thing. He associated slave-morality with the Jewish and Christian traditions, in a way that slave-morality is born out of the ressentiment of slaves. Nietzsche argued that the idea of equality allowed slaves to overcome their own condition without hating themselves. And by denying the inherent inequality of people (such as success, strength, beauty or intelligence), slaves acquired a method of escape, namely by generating new values on the basis of rejecting something that was seen as a perceived source of frustration. It was used to overcome the slave's own sense of inferiority before the (better-off) masters. It does so by making out slave weakness to be a matter of choice, by, e.g., relabeling it as "meekness." The "good man" of master morality is precisely the "evil man" of slave morality, while the "bad man" is recast as the "good man."

====NIHILISM====

When Nietzsche says that God is dead, what he means is that our entire concept of “God” is dead. The Christian concept of God as an all-powerful, all-knowing, morally good, caring, Supreme Being is dead, according to Nietzsche. But God no longer listens to us, nor knows how to respond. This lack of communication between us and God is the cause of the decline of theism (Beyond Good and Evil, Sec. 53). New forces have taken the place of God in our lives, forces such as money and science have provided a new faith for us in an increasingly materialistic society. We have become religious atheists, we no longer have God, but we practice religion. But religion involves sacrifice, and that is why God is dead.

Nietzsche was concerned that the death of God has lead to a pervasive state [[:wikipedia:Nihilism|nihilism]]. By sacrificing God in the name of [[:wikipedia:Asceticism|asceticism]], asceticism has lost its purpose and meaning to life. Nietzsche argued that one way in which we attempted to fill the space left by God’s death is through secular science. Since we have traded God for science, we now worship science as our new God. Science has occupied the throne on which God used to sit. Science has become the new ascetic faith, populated by theoretical entities and forces. But unlike theism, science ascribes no meaning to life’s happening. It only provides the means by which life happens; it provides the how, not the why.

For Nietzsche, the alternative to nihilism and asceticism lies in the positive affirmation of life.[http://answers.yahoo.com/question/index?qid=20070804135148AAzRjPS]

====WILL TO POWER====

A basic element in Nietzsche's philosophical outlook is the [[:wikipedia:Will_to_power|will to power]] (der Wille zur Macht), which provides a basis for understanding human behavior — more so than competing explanations, such as the ones based on pressure for adaptation or survival.

In presenting his theory of human behavior, Nietzsche also addressed, and attacked, concepts from philosophies popularly embraced in his days, such as [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zNDw9lO8uKg Schopenhauer's notion of an aimless will] or that of utilitarianism. Utilitarians claim that what moves people is mainly the desire to be happy, to accumulate pleasure in their lives. But such a conception of happiness Nietzsche rejected as something limited to, and characteristic of, the bourgeois lifestyle of the English society, and instead put forth the idea that happiness is not an aim per se — it is instead a consequence of a successful pursuit of one's aims, of the overcoming of hurdles to one's actions — in other words, of the fulfillment of the will.

====ÜBERMENSCH====

Nietzsche's Zarathustra ties the [[:wikipedia:Übermensch#Death_of_God_and_the_creation_of_new_values|Übermensch to the death of God]]. While this God was the ultimate expression of other-worldly values and the instincts that gave birth to those values, belief in that God nevertheless did give meaning to life for a time. 'God is dead' means that the idea of God can no longer provide values. With the sole source of values no longer capable of providing those values, there is a real chance of nihilism prevailing.

Zarathustra presents the Übermensch as the creator of new values. In this way, it appears as a solution to the problem of the death of God and nihilism. If the Übermensch acts to create new values within the moral vacuum of nihilism, there is nothing that this creative act would not justify. Alternatively, in the absence of this creation, there are no grounds upon which to criticize or justify any action, including the particular values created and the means by which they are promulgated.

In order to avoid a relapse into Platonic idealism or asceticism, the creation of these new values cannot be motivated by the same instincts that gave birth to those tables of values. Instead, they must be motivated by a love of this world and of life. Whereas Nietzsche diagnosed the Christian value system as a reaction against life and hence destructive in a sense, the new values which the Übermensch will be responsible for will be life-affirming and creative.

====Homura's Will to Power====

When Homura discovers that she is actually trapped within a Witch's barrier, she despair not because she is trapped, but because she was allowed to be easily influenced and be deceived by such a pleasant trap or dream. The dream makes a mockery of Madoka's sacrifice, making her victory to ring hollow as Homura has chosen a dream over reality. We have to remember that within this dream, it brings the fulfillment of all of Homura's friends. Mami is not alone as she combats Nightmares not by herself, but with a team in a manner resembling typical magical girls. Kyouko and Sayaka rather than being antagonists they are close friends and are even living together. Madoka is back in the real world as a magical girl, she is back to her friends and her family, but not only that she is also happy. The Dream is not only pleasant for Homura (having Madoka back and being friends with the girls), but it is also a vehicle for the personal fulfillment for the girls as well. Yet the dream is a lie, hence why Homura is angry with herself. Perhaps the dream reminded Homura how much she misses Madoka, her absence in Homura's life is deep and profound. Perhaps Homura at that moment grew disillusioned with the MadoVerse. The only reason Homura endured so much suffering was the promise that they would meet again when Homura's Soul Gems were to be tainted, the promise of paradise drove her to continue her journey, and yet the dream shattered Homura's conviction possibly at that point. At that moment it is possible to suggest that Homura realizes that she is a prisoner of a dream that is also a lie, and as a result perhaps Homura comes with an actual self realization that she actually liked the dream more than her reality, a reality where there is no Madoka, only Ultimate Madoka. We can suspect at this moment that Homura lost faith on Ultimate Madoka, not on Madoka herself, but on the concept of Ultimate Madoka. In the MadoVerse Sayaka became friends with Kyouko but she is dead, the girls fight together as a team but against dangerous Wraiths not silly creatures like Nightmares, the fate of Magical Girls does not lead to tea and cakes, but being taken away by the Law of Cycles, and Madoka is a separate entity from the MadoVerse. It is during this self actualization that the Clara Dolls cry, ''"Gott ist tot"''. Perhaps it is during this moment of crisis of faith that Homura has doubts about the system. We have to remember that Homura's Witch's Barrier creation of such dream is no accident. After all, Kyubey states that Homura's barrier would only allow a specific target or person to be allowed to enter; it is speculated that the Clara Dolls probably even kidnapped the specific targets. As a result, we can speculate that deep down, Homura wished for a better world than of the MadoVerse.

But there is another possibility that perhaps pushed Homura to her new conviction, the flower bed scene. It is stated that Homura is talking with the real Madoka, but this Madoka has no recollection of her previous life. As a result of their conversation Homura is convinced that Madoka would never abandon her family and friends knowingly or willingly. Madoka's amnesia is convenient enough to convince Homura to take a different path. Homura is convinced she must save Madoka from her foolish self. It is possible that during the flower bed scene, those may have been Madoka's true feelings at the time, but those are the result of Madoka's lost memory. Homura probably knows that that Madoka given the choice she may decide to become Ultimate Madoka given the circumstances, but this doesnt matter. To Homura, she decides that she has the conviction to pursue her original goal, which was to become stronger enough to protect and save Madoka, even if it means having to go against Madoka herself. Homura knew she had to end the Law of Cycles to free Madoka from herself.

Given Homura's epiphany and the events in the flower bed scene, it is easy to figure out what drove Homura to change the system and "rescue" Madoka from herself. Not only did Homura changed the world, but one could agree she did for the better regardless of Madoka's wishes. In the HomuVerse Sayaka is alive, Nagisa meets Mami, Madoka is back with her family, and everything seems to be for the better (as we know for now). The HomuVerse is almost similar to the Dream World that Homura created in her Witch's barrier. In a way Homura is trying to recreate the world from the Dream World. A clear indication that perhaps Homura was not happy with the conditions in the MadoVerse. Homura has become the Übermensch, for she has changed the rules of the universe and created new values. But more than that, she has defeated, tamed, and contained Madoka's biggest threat, Kyubey's race, something that Madoka has not done in the previous reality.

====Rebellion and Nietzsche====

The following interpretation is an attempt to observe rebellion through the eyes of Nietzsche. It is open to interpretation and it is not the final authority regarding the body of work in Rebellion.

It is possible that Homura realized that the New World, while better than the Old World with its cruel system, had some problems, problems that Homura couldnt overlook after her moment of epiphany. It is perhaps of this reason that Homura decides to rebel against Madoka. Homura is trying to liberate Madoka from an oppressive cycle that makes her not just a prisoner, but also a slave to her conviction and sense of goodness. When Homura is given the choice to free herself from her torture by allowing Madoka to spirit her away, she proclaims to Kyoube that she would prefer to become a Witch and fall into despair forever, rather than allow Madoka to fall into his trap. Homura is not ashamed that she became a witch, it is possible that she was ashamed that she failed to meet Madoka's expectations, that she fell into a dream and chose the dream over Madoka's salvation. But once Homura overcame her fears and doubts she became resolute to rescue Madoka from herself, from her bondage to the Law of Cycles.

One could suggest that perhaps the Law of Cycles did not liberate the magical girls at all, but instead made them prisoners into a new "slave system", for these girls still met a terrible (but less horrible) fate in the end. Rather than becoming witches, they are spirited away to some paradise, a reward for their personal sacrifice, yet they are still obligated to fulfill their contract by making them unable to escape from their ultimate fate. The Law of Cycles was the result of Madoka's sacrifice. The fulfillment of a promise that the suffering of magical girls would end. What Madoka has done was to change some of the rules of the old system to make the lives of magical girls more pleasant and lessen some of its horrifying aspects, but she also inserted an incentive to reward these magical girls for their deaths. Yet this fulfillment is not based on personal accomplishment but based on sacrifices. As a result Nietzsche would point out that the suffering of these girls did not lead to personal growth or allowed them to overcome their suffering, but instead they were cheated by giving them bribes to ease their pain. There is no affirmation of life, they overcome nothing.

Since these magical girls cannot overcome this ultimate fate, one can argue that they all failed to fulfill their potential. Except for Homura, she overcomes the ultimate fate by not dying, by not becoming a Witch, by not being taken away by Madoka. Perhaps making Homura the Übermensch. It has to be pointed out, that Homura was the first person to realize that the girls were trapped inside a Witch barrier (with the exception of Nagisa and Sayaka), Homura was possibily awakening from the dream before the other girls did, a self actualization that there was something possibly wrong with the order of the world. It is possible that Homura's struggles started to manifest "her will to power", her transformation into the Übermensch to overcome her personal struggles. According with Nietzsche, human suffering is necessary for personal growth as well as for their potential for one to attain one's goal by overcoming such obstacles. Homura's endless suffering, doubts, fears, as well as her will allowed her to overcome her obstacles. Homura explains to Kyubey that the reason she didnt become a Witch, was because of her love for Madoka, because Madoka was always on her mind. One can interpret this as saying that Homura's mind was always obsessing with her goal or objective, which happens to be Madoka's safety. Her will to overcome her weakness to save Madoka was driven by her ambition and goal, and Homura needed to overcome her long and almost endless struggle to obtain it. Homura overcame her obstacles not through [[Talk:Philosophical_Observations#Madoka_and_Minding_her_Motive|Kantian means like a noble self-sacrifice]], nor by [[Talk:Philosophical_Observations#Kyubey_and_Utilitarianism|a base selfish means like utilitarianism]]. Instead, Homura obtained her fulfillment by overcoming her struggle, even if it meant being hated by Madoka.

Perhaps Goddoka had to "die" in order to break the new cycle that was less horrifying but smothering, a confining system based on Madoka's values like goodness and sacrifice. Goddoka also had to die so she could live as an ordinary human girl in the Homuverse, so she could reaffirm life as an ordinary person, rather than as a divine being trapped within the system. A system that tried to alleviate suffering at the expense of personal growth and strength, strength needed to overcome personal obstacles. The values in such a system do not only deprived Madoka from fulfilling her full potential without restrain, but were obstacles to her personal happiness.

As a side note, Nietzsche's idea of the [[:wikipedia:Friedrich_Nietzsche#Eternal_return|Eternal Return]] is eerily similar to Homura's endless time travel in the series. It is a concept which posits that the universe has been recurring, and will continue to recur, in a self-similar form an infinite number of times across infinite time or space. Nietzsche contemplates the idea as potentially "horrifying and paralyzing", and says that its burden is the "heaviest weight" imaginable ("das schwerste Gewicht"). The wish for the eternal return of all events would mark the ultimate affirmation of life, a reaction to Schopenhauer's praise of denying the will‐to‐live. The purpose is not only for an eternal struggle, but also for the eternal overcoming of the struggle of life, and its celebration.

Madoka overcame her personal struggles with a noble sacrifice, she became a magical girl, transformed into a witch, and then she transcended into Ultimate Madoka but at a cost. Nietzsche would deny that Madoka overcame anything at all. But Homura did overcame her struggles by actually overcoming them, by suffering, by growing, and by sheer personal will. As Homura stated, she is neither a witch, nor a magical girl. She is something more.

At the ending when Homura was dancing and then jumped from the cliff, one can interpret it as Homura reaffirming life.

===Bhuddism and Mara (with a bit of Gnosticism)===
The original ''Madoka Magica'' anime had [http://mlpomo.blogspot.com/2013/08/latin-latin-madoka-more-latin-puella.html Bhuddist] [http://listlessink.wordpress.com/2011/04/23/birth-of-a-goddess-madokas-path-to-nirvana-a-study-of-buddhism/ themes] that might be missed by any viewers that are unfamiliar with the concepts presented.

In [[Madoka Magica Portable]], [[Homulilly]] is described as the witch of "Shigan". Shigan is a Bhuddist concept that basically means the mortal world humans live in. It's opposite is [[wikipedia:Higan|Higan]], which represents the afterlife or Enlightenment. In other words, Homulilly is an existence opposed to Madoka (who represents salvation from suffering).

In Bhuddist mythology there is a deity named [[wikipedia:Mara_(demon)|Mara]]. Often described as a devil or demon, he is closer to the [[wikipedia:Demiurge|Demiurge]] in Gnostic Christianity. Mara represents temptation and desire - in other words, anti-enlightenment. (On a possibly not so coincidental note, [[wikipedia:Mara_(folklore)|Mara]] is also the name of a creature from Germanic folklore that is the origin of the word "Nightmare".) In ''Rebellion'', Homura evokes Mara when she creates an illusory, perfect world out of her own desires that traps others within it (following the Bhuddist concept of the world as an illusion). Then, at the end of the movie, Homura absorbs Madoka and remakes the world, with Madoka reincarnated as a normal girl. In a Buddhist interpretation, Homura took a [[wikipedia:Bodhisattva|Bodhisattva]] away from Enlightenment and trapped her in the mortal world. Not only is this ''really bad'' by Buddhist terms, but Homura also did it out of her selfish desire for Madoka. In Buddhism, desire is one of the sources of all suffering.

To summarize, Homura is Mara (or the Demiurge) keeping Madoka - who is more or less Bhudda (or the Gnostic [[wikipedia:Sophia_(Gnosticism)|Sophia]]) - trapped in the mortal world, where is she ignorant of her true nature. As the Mara figure, Homura will do whatever she can to keep Madoka in the mortal world, but the only way for anyone to achieve true salvation is if Madoka awakens and breaks Homura's illusion.

===Sayaka and the comparison to Archangel Michael===
[[File:Wont forget (id=40231587).jpg|right|thumb|150px|She may be our only hope]]
*In Hebrew, Michael's name means "''who is like God?''". In a literal way, Sayaka's nature is like Madoka's: a being that exists on a different plane of existence.
*Through the ages, Michael is always armed with a sword (Sayaka's weapon badge).
*Sayaka's last name (Miki) it may be a derivation of the arabic word ''Mikhail''.
*Michael is always portrayed to be the opposite of Lucifer, either for the love of God or conflicts in their ways of thinking; in almost all media published in Madoka Magica series, Sayaka and Homura are shown in conflict with each other, primarily in regard to Madoka' safety.

===Attack on Fandom (Or Fanwork Creators are Evil)===
There have been many accusations that ''Rebellion'' is primarily about pandering to the fanbase. Indeed, much of ''Rebellion'''s story reflects common trends in fandom. However, are they pandering to the fans, or are they parodying them?

Consider that the movie opens with a world common in fanworks ([[Drama_CD_2|and some]] [[Madoka_Magica_Drama_CD_4:_Summer_Magical_Girl_Training_Camp!!|officially published]] [[Puella_Magi_Madoka_Magica_Anthology_1|material]]). The five magical girls are working together without suffering. Kyubey has been rendered harmless. Even Charlotte is there as the second mascot. It is the world depicted and desired by fans.

And it's all an illusion. No matter how many fanworks are made, it doesn't change the events that happen in the original series. They are as illusionary as the world of Homura's witch barrier.

Then there's the end of the movie. Again, it is an ending common in fanworks. Madoka is alive. Sayaka is alive. Even Charlotte has been brought back to life and returned to her human form. And Kyubey is paying for all his crimes. The ending people wanted to see.

But there's a price. It's ''Madoka Magica'', there's always a price. The price is that Homura is now made the villain, and she has trapped the characters in this happy ending against their will. Instead of the joy of witnessing a happy ending, the viewer is made to feel horrified and confused.

One might even consider Homura to be a stand-in for fanwork creators. It is Homura that creates the illusion at the beginning of the movie, and it is Homura that creates the ending where everyone is brought back. It says something that the person who makes fanworks come true is the person that becomes ''the devil itself''. But hey, you got your happy ending, right?

We have found the enemy and it is us. Be careful what you wish for.

===Madoka's Omniscience===
Many viewers have pointed to an apparent plot hole in the movie: Why didn't Madoka foresee Homura's actions if she is an omniscient god? This is in fact a trick the movie pulls on viewers; it expects them to remember that Madoka's omniscience isn't just because she's a god, it's because she's a concept that exists in all of space and time. As Madoka says in episode 12 "''I will be everywhere at every moment from now on"''. In other words, Madoka is omniscient only because she is omnipresent. If something were to interrupt her omnipresence, then she is no longer omniscient.

Indeed, this does happen during ''Rebellion''. Kyubey's Isolation Field specifically blocks Madoka from entering, which means Madoka is not omnipresent anymore. We know the Incubators can see into the Isolation Field, which suggests Madoka can see into it too...but that means she only knows what the Incubators do.

Before we continue, we need to ask if the future of the ''Madoka Magica'' setting is predetermined. In other words, is the future set in stone? If it was predetermined, than Madoka could still know in advance how long the Isolation Field would last and what would happen afterward.

However, there is evidence to suggest that the future is not predetermined in the setting. Certainly Madoka changes the future with her wish, and later tells Homura that she sees all the universes which may one day exist. In ''Rebellion'' itself, Kyubey says Madoka does not exist in the past or in all the possibilities of the future, which suggests that as far as Kyubey knows, the future is not predetermined.

But just because the future is not predetermined doesn't mean you can't know what's going to happen. As an omnipresent concept, Madoka is basically [[wikipedia:Laplace's_demon|Laplace's Demon]]. She knows what is going to happen in the future because she exists everywhere. In other words, she can tell the actual future from a possible one. When Kyubey introduces the Isolation Field, it introduces [[wikipedia:Chaos_Theory|chaos]] into Madoka's perceptions, preventing her from being able to tell which future will actually occur.

To Madoka, the Isolation Field is a little like a [[wikipedia:Schrödinger's_cat|Schrödinger's catbox]]. Until we open the box, we can't tell if the cat will be alive or dead. Similarly, Madoka can't tell what will happen to anything that is inside or enters the Isolation Field, including Homura's Soul Gem, the victims of Homura's barrier, or even the future of Sayaka, Nagisa, and Madoka herself when they are "invited" inside.

Presumably, Madoka could have chosen to ignore Homura's invitation and wait to see if the Incubators would drop the Isolation Field, but Madoka would never abandon anyone, least of all Homura. So she enters Homura's barrier and takes the form of a human.

Since she is in the form of a human, Madoka is not omnipresent even when she enters Homura's barrier. She experiences time the same way the other characters do - linearly. She has no way of knowing what the future will hold, even after she suppresses her own memories and powers. Finally, when the Isolation Field is destroyed, Madoka regains her memories and powers...but she does not return to being an omnipresent and omniscient concept. She is still in the form of a human, which is why the other characters can see her. It's suggested Madoka can't return to being a concept until she deals with Homura's Soul Gem, in accordance with her wish to erase all witches before they are born with her own hands. Madoka has to purify Homura's Soul Gem before she can move onto the next potential witch.

But since Madoka had no way to determine which potential future would actually happen, Homura's actions catch her by surprise. (Not to mention that before the Isolation Field was destroyed, Homura told Madoka that she wanted to be by her side; clearly Madoka thought Homura meant she wanted to be with Madoka forever.)

===AI YO===
Perhaps the most contentious part of the movie is the reveal that Homura's Soul Gem is not tainted by curses, but by love. This comes out of nowhere and appears to contradict the original anime. However, given that ''Rebellion'' is a movie that invites thought, it is not unreasonable to assume that there is an answer hidden in the movie. (For example, while the movie does not say that Kyubey's Isolation Field was blocking Madoka's omniscience, it is logical to conclude that anything that prevents Madoka from existing in all of time of space would interfere with her omniscience.)

Here is a potential explanation for how Homura receives the power of love, one that does not contradict anything that occurred in the anime or movie. This is, admittedly, pure fan wank - but one with support. Consider what happens when Ultimate Madoka comes down to pick up Homura's Soul Gem.

First, Madoka is observable. We know this because Homura, Mami, and Kyoko can all see her. Remember what Kyubey tells Homura - if they can observe the Law of Cycles, which is embodied in Ultimate Madoka, then they can interfere with it, and magical girls will turn into witches once again.

Then, just before Madoka touches Homura's Soul Gem, Homura grabs Madoka's hands. Homura is doing...exactly what it looks like she's doing. She is preventing Madoka from taking her Soul Gem anyway. In other words, Homura is interfering with the Law of Cycles.

At this point, Homura's Soul Gem turns pure black. Darkness begins spilling from it. Obviously, by blocking the Law of Cycles from affecting her Soul Gem, Homura is becoming a witch.

Except she doesn't become a witch. A "color worse than curses" appears inside her Soul Gem. Where did it come from? Why isn't Homura turning into a witch? After all, Kyubey said that if the Law of Cycles is interfered with, magical girls will turn into witches again.

And that's just it. ''What if Kyubey was wrong?''

Remember Madoka's wish? "I wish to erase all witches before they are born...All the witches in all the universes, both past and future...With my own hands!" If a witch was ever born, then Madoka's wish would not come true. Of course Kyubey wouldn't remember Madoka's wish, and it's unclear how much Homura told him about it.

So, even if the Law of Cycles was blocked from reaching a magical girl, the magical girl would still not become a witch. But what happens if it is blocked? If Madoka can't erase a witch before it's born, how can her wish remain true?

If Madoka can't reach a magical girl before they become a witch...then maybe the magical girl becomes something else instead.

A new color fills Homura's Soul Gem, a color that has never appeared in a Soul Gem before. This may be the result of Madoka's wish asserting itself over reality. One might call it an act of self-preservation. Homura then continues to hold on to Madoka, preventing Madoka from moving on to the next potential witch. With Madoka trying to move somewhere else and Homura holding onto her, Madoka is split apart so that her wish can remain true. Homura then creates a barrier that engulfs the universe. Her Soul Gem shatters and reforms into something never seen before. Homura is now a being that has rejected the Law of Cycles, and is possibly empowered by that rejection. Through rejecting hope, she gains the power of love. And by rejecting god, she has become the devil.

As for ''how'' Homura could intefere with the Law of Cycles, it's likely related to her wish to protect Madoka. If Madoka is now a concept, then Homura can only protect Madoka by interfering with said concept.

Homura did mention "love" as an emotion "far passionate than hope, far deeper than despair". Since soul gems are tainted by despair and love is deeper than despair, soul gems should be able to be tainted by love that has desperation. Since Homura's gem is tainted with "love" and not despair, she doesn't turn into a witch but something similar. Thus with Madoka wished to erase witches with her own hands, Madoka would appear before Homura who is turning into something similar to a witch, but won't be able to erase her since what she's turning into is not technically a witch. And you know how warped the contract works.

===On Madoka's Afterlife===
''Rebellion'' actually clarifies the nature of Madoka's afterlife. It's not some separate dimension, ''it's Madoka herself''.

Consider what Madoka does to a Soul Gem in episode 12. She places her hands over a Soul Gem, the corruption inside of it is drained away, and finally the Soul Gem vanishes. ''Rebellion'' makes it clear that the corruption and the Soul Gem does not disappear. Rather, Madoka absorbs them both into herself.

As seen in ''Rebellion'', witches are born from inside the Soul Gem. When Madoka absorbs a Soul Gem's corruption, she is absorbing the unborn witch. Similarly, by absorbing the Soul Gem, she absorbs the magical girl's soul. One might say that the magical girls and witches are now in Madoka's own soul, similar to how Homura's pulled people into her own Soul Gem in ''Rebellion''.

Thus when Madoka entered Homura's barrier, she basically split Sayaka and Nagisa from herself. She also split Oktavia, Charlotte and the familiars from herself too. Technically, Oktavia and Charlotte are now part of Sayaka and Nagisa, the same way that all of them were part of Madoka.

Interestingly, at the end of the movie, Madoka is split from the Law of Cycles. Homura claims that this Madoka is a piece of the Law of Cycles - the part that was Madoka before she became a concept. One could say that in order to escape Homura, the Law of Cycles separated Madoka from itself the same way it split Sayaka and Nagisa from itself. (This would make Madoka an "angel", similar to Sayaka and Nagisa.)

== Trivia ==
[[File:Movies BDs 4koma Rebellion Translation.jpg|right|150px|thumb|]]
*The official title for Homura's new form is Akuma Homura. "Akuma" means "devil" or "demon" as well as being a pun on "Akemi". Fan nicknames include Homucifer, Homulucifer, HomuSatan, Devil Homura, Homurakuma, and Homukami.
*Urobuchi planned a scenario where Homura ascended with Madoka, but was asked by [http://feral-phoenix.livejournal.com/685568.html#| director Shinbo Akiyuki and producer Iwakami Atsuhiro] to come up with an ending that would allow for the continuation of the franchise. A comment by Shinbo that Homura and Madoka could end up as enemies inspired the current ending.
**Contrary to earlier misinformation and rumors, Urobuchi was '''not''' forced by Shinbo to write a different ending, nor that the ending was a last minute change in the script - the discussion and brainstorming for the ending occurred in the early stages of the movie, before Urobuchi had even written the script. That the ending of the movie differed from the first ending Urobuchi suggested is a regular process in early production stages. It is also untrue that Urobuchi disagreed or disliked the ending of the movie - quite the contrary, in fact.

==Criticism==
<blockquote>
''French Interviewer: "Do you have something to say to the French fans who are impatiently waiting for the third movie?"'' 
''Gen Urobuchi: "I think the third movie is going to divide the people, but I'm ready to face the consequences"'' ~ [http://www.wakanim.tv/dossier/16/1/interview-durobuchi-gen-et-de-kosaka-takaki wakanim.tv]
</blockquote>

<blockquote>
''"If the TV version of Madoka Magica was about God and unconditional love, the new film is about the Devil and how love, when taken too far, can turn into hate."'' ~ [http://www.crunchyroll.com/anime-feature/2013/11/10-1/feature-puella-magi-madoka-magica-rebellion-movie-review Ryotaro Aoki, Rebellion movie review, Crunchyroll.]
</blockquote>

One of the main concerns regarding the new ending in "Rebellion" is that Homura's action renders Madoka's sacrifice and message of hope meaningless. The ending from the anime series and the previous film loses its impact and this causes concern among the fans who became emotionally invested on Madoka's message of hope.

Another problem is the devolution of the Homura character, starting from a weakly girl and evolving into a strong magical girl, Homura becomes what many consider to be a strong underdog who overcame many obstacles to protect what she treasures. However, in "Rebellion" we see what appears to be the beginning of the unraveling of the Homura character, we see the fall of a strong magical girl into what it is presumed to be a form of madness.

==Symbolism==
*During the scene where Homura talks to Sayaka, after the latter saves the former from Mami, they come to a 4 way intersection, and stand across from each other. Sayaka is in front of the area that is blue, while Homura is in front of the area that is red. While inbetween them on the other intersection is the color green. The blue likely represents law & order, while the red represents chaos, and the green represents balance between the two. Red, green, and blue are also the colors your eyes use to see, and it could be a representation that Homura wasn't seeing clearly as she was only looking at it from one perspective.

*A pretty obvious one is during the scene where Homura discovers she's a witch, and in the bakcground kids seem to be shouting Homura. It also is referring to fire, which is commonly associated with Satan.

*The blimps likely symbolize Homura's search for the truth, as they start appearing a little before she begins to doubt this world, and more pop up over the course of the movie, until they come crashing down after she discovers the truth. Their color schemes also match Homura's too.

The Rebellion Story/Spoiler

2014-10-02T23:39:49Z

AntMan9751: /* Speculation Gallery */

{{spoilers}}

== Spoilers ==
[[File:Summary of what happened from each character's perspective.png|thumb|right|150px|A decent summary of what happened from each character's perspective.]]
* Before the movie starts, it asks the audience to please not to make spoilers.
* [[Kyoko Sakura]] and [[Sayaka Miki]] live together
* [[Nagisa Momoe]] is [[Charlotte]].
* [[Hitomi Shizuki]] became a [[Nightmare]] and then was turned back into human form.
* [[Homura Akemi]] becomes something more powerful than "Madokami".
* For some reason at the end of the movie, besides Madoka (partially) and Homura, the only Mahou Shoujo who remembers everything that happened in the movie is Sayaka.
*Sayaka transforms into Oktavia and is able to control her witch form.
*Homura takes over Madoka's responsibilities and her powers, replacing the "Law of Cycles" with her own rules. Technically, Homura dethroned Madoka ending her era of reign, hence the title of "Rebellion".
*While Homura is addressed as the devil by fans/fansubs, the official translation for what Homura calls herself at the end of the movie is Demon, not Devil.
**Homura calls herself ''Akuma'' because she sees herself as a existence that opposes God. Considering that, the translation that fits the most is "devil."
**Demon in Japanese is 悪魔 which is read akuma. The Japanese word akuma means "Demon, Devil; Fiend; Satan; Evil spirit" and is composed of the kanji 悪 (read aku) meaning "evil; bad; wrong" and 魔 (read ma) meaning "witch; demon; evil spirit".
*The first take on Homura's dialogue before the ending of the movie sounds completely different from the final product in terms of emotions. Homura's tone and feelings were toned down, as she sounded "too emotional".

== Observation ==
[[File:Rebellion Explanation Chart.jpg|thumb|250px|This chart explains the plot of the movie.]]
*Just like in the Anime series, Kyubey's greed and plan backfired spectacularly. He tried to capture Madoka with a barrier of his own (after being told of her existence by Homura), but instead it helped Homura to become a much more powerful entity in the process.
*Looking back, "[[Magia]]" lyrics takes a much darker undertone.
**Homura's greedy yearning has no tomorrow.
**Homura's desire for a spell to fight the "sorrow" before her eyes [Madoka's selflessness].
**Madoka is a dreaming memory, only Homura is awake.
**Homura wants an endless dream for both of them.
**Homura's wish literally becomes everything in the new universe.
*Colourful (カラフル ''[[Colorful|karafuru]]'') by ClariS, gives us a hint of what is to come:
**four girls dancing and having fun
**Homura won't join in
**only reaches her hand to grasp Madoka's
**Madoka's hand turns to sand, Homu stands alone in a desert area with a throne
**[[:file:Unknown op homura rebellion.jpg|Devil's earring]] sinking in the sand (?)
*[[Homulilly]]'s appearance in ''Rebellion'' differs greatly from her original appearance in the PSP game. She appears as a huge, distorted version of Homura, with the upper half of her head replaced by a red spider lily. Her minions are twisted versions of the pigtailed Homura from the first few timelines, armed with spears. The long ribbons of the witch's dress act as flexible arms, attacking everything around her.
**The witch's hands are in manacles, and a giant guillotine rises from the ground when she begins to head towards the city. It appears that the witch is trying to reach the guillotine so she can sacrifice herself, which would free everyone else from her witch barrier. This is foreshadowed by an image of Mami and Kyoko beheading Homura in a similar guillotine as she begins to transform into Homulilly.
**The witch initially appears wearing a stereotypical witch's hat which resembles a record player, possibly as a reference to her PSP appearance, but quickly discards it to reveal the red spider lily underneath.
**Red spider lilies also appear when Homura realises she has become a witch.
**The witch has two additional types of minions: minions that resemble human girls (possibly representing fallen magical girls, they were much stronger than other minions in battle) and purple bird-like minions. Interestingly, these minions can still be seen in the new universe, and Homura still seems to be able to control them to an extent. It's unclear why Homura chose to keep her minions, since she claims she is no longer a witch.
**Homura appears to be masking the true forms of her minions in the new universe; in one scene Kyoko is seen feeding apples to the bird-like minions, apparently believing them to be normal birds.
*Sayaka is the only character (apart from Homura) who retains the memories of the previous world.
**In the MadoVerse of the anime series, Sayaka was allowed to retain her memories so she could express her opinion and pass away peacefully with no regrets. In the version of the HomuVerse in "Rebellion" Sayaka is allowed to retain her memories (and her life) so she can express her displeasure and opinion against Homura's actions.
*Ms. Kazuko makes a reference to the coming of an important Holiday in a foreign land and its connection to the end of the world. It is highly possible that she is referring to the [http://www.sonoma.edu/users/v/vegalu/eschatology_files/Chanukah.pdf November 28, 2013 Hanukkah comet], the [http://www.redmoonrapture.com/2014-2015.html 2014-2015 Jewish Holidays], and the [http://www.pray4zion.org/TheComingBloodMoons.html return of the Biblical Savior.]
*Prior to the movie events and at the beginning of the anime series, the universe was first 'Atheistic' (the Mahou Shoujo system was in place and there was no concept of hope, it was ruled by despair), after the anime series ended the universe went to a transformation and became 'Monoistic' (Madoka became the concept of hope and put in place the Law of Cycles). "Rebellion" expands the universe by transforming it once again, and introducing a 'Dualism' system in place. If Madoka represents the concept of hope (selfless love), then Homura represent the concept of love (selfish love).
**However, the system is neither equal nor fair. Madoka's powers are repressed and she is a prisoner in the new reality, indicating that these two powers cannot rule equally. There can only be one ruling entity, which is why Homura tells Madoka that they are [[:file:Homucifer Vs Madokami.jpg|enemies.]]
*If the message from the anime series, was a message of hope. Then message from "Rebellion" is its opposite.
**Urobuchi wasnt kidding when he said fans would hate the new ending, [[:file:2 people before and after watched Madoka movie.jpg|look what it did to these fans.]]
**In the MadoVerse, the message was one of hope, Madoka allowed the universe to retain their free will and she respected the wishes of magical girls so as not to rob them of their sacrifice, the world was not prefect but it was much better than under the old system. But the HomuVerse is assumed to be the opposite. It is deceptively peaceful and happy, Homura was only able to create this universe by robbing Madoka of her free will, erasing her memory, and denying Madoka's wish of salvation thus rending Madoka's message of hope meaningless. Not only that but for Homura to be able to sustain this new reality, she extended her barrier to cover the whole universe, probably as a way to have it under her influence to guarantee that it doesn't create a reason for Madoka to sacrifice herself again.
*Some observers think that at the end Homura is slightly going mad, that it is the beginning of her descend into madness.
*The BGM played in each girl's transformation sequence references a song from the original soundtrack:
**Mami: Salve terrae magicae
**Kyouko: Venari strigas
**Sayaka: Decretum
**Homura: Puella in somnio
**Madoka: Sagitta luminis
*There are a lot of [[wikipedia:Grimms'_Fairy_Tales|Grimm Fairy Tales]] allusions:
**Homura as Sleeping Beauty.
**The pumpkin carriage
**The clock struck at 12.
*''"God is dead"'' is a widely quoted statement by German philosopher [[wikipedia:Friedrich_Nietzsche|Friedrich Nietzsche]].
*According with Shinbou, the Madoka inside Homura's world is the real Madoka, ''"who has lost her memories of becoming a god. She’s not a fake or Homura’s creation. What she says in the field of flowers is what she’s really feeling at the time. That scene may seem overly sentimental at first glance, but if you think of everything Homura does afterward, her feelings will come across more easily."''[http://feral-phoenix.livejournal.com/685568.html#|]
*At the bus station there are signs written in runes, [[:file:Rebellion Runes - 011113 - sign.jpg|they mention the Nutcracker]]. A possible reference to [[wikipedia:The_Nutcracker_and_the_Mouse_King|The Nutcracker and the Mouse King]], a 19th century German story by E. T. A. Hoffman.
**As the Nutcracker Witch, Homully has no teeth or her teeth are familiars that chew for her. In dream interpretation, falling teeth has several significant meanings:[http://dreammoods.com/cgibin/teethdreams.pl?method=exact&header=dreamid&search=teethintro]
***It reflects anxiety, a fear of rejection, sexual impotence or the consequences of getting old. Another interpretation is that teeth are used to bite, tear, chew and gnaw. In this regard, teeth symbolize power. And the loss of teeth in a dream may be from a sense of powerlessness.
***A scriptural interpretation for bad or falling teeth indicates that one is putting one's faith, trust, and beliefs in what humans thinks, rather than in the word of God.
***Many cultures, including the Hispanic and Greek cultures, believe that when you dream about loose, rotten, falling, or missing teeth, then it indicates that a family member or close friend is very sick or even near death.
**It is possible that teeth may be a reference to the [[:wikipedia:Tooth_fairy|Tooth Fairy]]. Unlike Santa Claus and, to a lesser extent, the Easter Bunny, there are few details of the tooth fairy's appearance that are consistent in various versions of the myth. Usually in the West the tooth fairy is depicted as female, a type a fairy with wings. However, in Spanish and Hispanic American cultures the role of the tooth fairy is relegated to the [[:wikipedia:Ratoncito_Pérez|Ratoncito Pérez]] (or Ratón Pérez, "Pérez Mouse" in English)) that originated in Madrid in 1894. As is traditional in some English-speaking countries, when a child loses a tooth it is customary for him or her to place it under the pillow, so that Ratoncito Pérez will exchange it for a gift. The tradition is almost universal in Spanish cultures, but takes different forms in different areas. One of the roles of Homulilly's familiars is to kill "the white rat" (which is Kyubey), perhaps this is a reference to the Ratoncito Pérez.
**The nuts could be a reference to Grief Seeds, as they look like nuts.
**Homulilly's familiars are called "Clara dolls", Clara is the lead character's name in most of [[:wikipedia:The_Nutcracker|The Nutcracker]] ballet versions and there is the reference to [[:file:Witches Artwork 04.jpg|killing rats]] in one of the familiar's card.
***[[:file:Nutcracker set designs.jpg|A relevant set]] from that play by [[:wikipedia:E. T. A. Hoffmann|E. T. A. Hoffmann]]
*Usually victims must enter a Witch's barrier to fall under their trap. However, it is speculated that Homura's Clara Dolls kidnapped specific targets and brought them into Homura's barrier. Only those specific individuals are allowed to enter.
*This is the third time that Homura got beaten by Mami. The first two times happened in the Anime series the same way with Mami's magical ribbons, getting entangled by Mami's ribbons is one of Homura's weaknesses. The only reason she broke free was because Homura took a huge gamble that could have cost her life.
*A '''mare''' or [[:wikipedia:Mare_(folklore)|'''nightmare''']] (Proto-Germanic: ''*marōn''; Old English: ''mære''; Old Norse: ''mara''; German: ''Nachtmahr'') is an evil spirit or goblin in Germanic folklore which rides on people's chests while they sleep, bringing on bad dreams (or "nightmares"). The mare is often similar to the mythical creatures [[:wikipedia:Succubus|succubus]] and [[:wikipedia:Incubus_(demon)|incubus]], and was likely inspired by sleep paralysis.
**The mare was also believed to "ride" horses, which left them exhausted and covered in sweat by the morning. She could also entangle the hair of the sleeping man or beast, resulting in ''"marelocks"'', called ''marflätor'' "mare-braids" or ''martovor'' "mare-tangles" in Swedish or ''marefletter'' and ''marelokker'' in Norwegian.
**Hungarian folklorist [[:wikipedia:Éva_Pócs|Éva Pócs]] traces the core term back to the Greek word μόρος ''moros'', "death".
**According to [[:wikipedia:Paul_Devereux|Paul Devereux]], mares included witches who took on the form of animals when their spirits went out while they were in trance. Animals such as frogs, cats, horses, hares, dogs, oxen, birds and often bees and wasps.
**It is interesting to note that ''mara'', besides being a root-word for nightmare, is also the name of a [[wikipedia:Mara_(demon)|Buddhist deity analogous to the devil]]. Although this may be a coincidence, Homura does ascend to become a Mara-like figure at the end of ''Rebellion''.
*When Kyubey keeps Homura inside an Incubator's isolation field, he compares Homura to a baby chick, ''"you're a like a chick that wasn't able to break its shell and grew up within it."''
**In [[:wikipedia:Revolutionary_Girl_Utena|Revolutionary Girl Utena]], Touga Kiryuu utters [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dwud_XQGjhQ a same sentiment about the students and the world.]
**Even if this was just an observational opinion regarding Homura's entrapment within the field. It can also be interpreted as a observational point regarding Homura's emotional state of mind. Homura keeps her emotions bottle up and in check, as away to avoid despair and a sense of hopelessness. As a result one could interpret Homura's behavior as a fear of getting hurt by hiding her real emotions, forced to mature mentally and rapidly in a way to survive her ordeal at the cost of not being able to properly develop a healthy emotional growth in a well adjusted environment.

== Speculation ==
[[File:Map of the changed timelines or worlds raw.jpg|right|thumb|Map of the new world]]
*Homura becomes the opposite existence of Madoka.
**The new entity known as Homura is neither a magical girl nor a Witch. She is neither the product of hope/wish nor despair, she is the product of love.
***According with Homura, it was not grief that stained her Soul Gem, it was love, because her mind was always focused on Madoka.
*** More precisely, Homura says that what tainted her Soul Gem ''changed'' from being a curse. It's possible that Homura's new power came from Kyubey's Isolation Field, which not only prevented Homura from being taken by the Law of Cycles but also prevented her despair from breaking out of her Soul Gem and becoming a Grief Seed. Unable to burst out of it's shell, Homura's grief entered a new state, like how carbon becomes diamond under high pressure.
*Some observers suggest that the ending theme "Your Silver Garden" (君の銀の庭 ''[[Kimi no Gin no Niwa]]'') is about Homura and her reasons that she betrayed Madoka.
**''"The guardian/of your young slumber—/The gateway to adulthood is tightly shut"'', this is interpreted as Homura's refusal to grow up and her attempt to her childish sleep.
**''"Have you realized/that the truth/always lies in the past?/All futures and hope/are but a selfish story/envisioned by someone in a distant garden"'', this is interpreted to mean that the future is uncertain and unknown, that the past is much more pleasing.
**''"Stay softly with me,/please don't leave me/Chirp your song by my window,/even in loss"'', this is interpreted as Homura telling Madoka not to go, even if she becomes her prisoner.
*It is speculated that even when a magical girl becomes a witch, she still has her consciousness, although such consciousness is distorted and has much difference from the reality.
*There were numerous references to a "black salamander/lizard" motive throughout the movie, with the most obvious being Homura's earring shaped as a black lizard.
**One of the most common myths about lizards is that they symbolize death and resurrection.
**In Christian ideology the lizard is a more ambivalent symbol. All reptiles can be viewed as paler versions of the potent symbol represented by the snake or serpent. Taken alone on it's own merits the lizard is said to represent "contemplative ecstasy"[http://www.hennapage.com/journal/issue_I/article_2/page2.html]
**The salamander represents those who pass through the fires of passion and of this world without stain. Therefore, it stands for chastity, loyalty, impartiality, virginity, courage, Jesus, Mary, and the faithful. The salamander is also used to symbolize the flames, which it passes through, and so is a symbol of fire, temptation, and burning desire. It was considered the "king of fire" and as such was representative of Christ who would baptize with the flames of the Holy Spirit. Cloquet considers Christ the salamander king of fire because he passed through the fires of hell after his crucifixion without harm.[http://monsters.monstrous.com/salamander.htm] It should be noted Homura's name can be translated as "flame".
**Some prevalent symbolism of the salamander include:[http://www.symbolic-meanings.com/2008/03/04/light-my-fire-symbolism-of-the-salamander/]
***Energy
***Courage
***Renewal
***Determination
***Resurrection
***Balance
***Adaptation
***Spirituality
**The salamander gets it solar animal status from several sources. Primarily, we see this aspect in ancient alchemical illustrations where the salamander is depicted in flames. Alchemists held the salamander to be a fire-eater and able to quench fire with its cool, moist body. In the alchemical philosophy, anything that had the power to transform something into something else was hugely important.
***Furthermore, early Christianity held the salamander as a symbol of spiritual integrity, chastity, and righteousness. The sign of the salamander indicated true faith, and the ability to survive the “fire of temptation.”
****Medieval and heraldic art depicted the salamander as a symbol for bravery. It was often painted in the background of heroic portraits to indicate the mark of courage.
*Remember Homura's original wish? ''"I want to redo my meeting with Madoka. But this time, instead of her protecting me, I want to become strong enough to protect her!"''
**Originally it was interpreted as the wish that allowed Homura to travel back in time to redo her meeting with Madoka, it also meant that there was a role reversal with Homura becoming stronger and active while Madoka became a weaker character and took a more passive role. That was the original intent. However, with the new ending in "Rebellion", the meaning and purpose of Homura's wish takes a new role and it probably expands its meaning. If we consider the ending of the series, one can make the argument that Homura's wish was only partially fulfilled but that in the end it failed, because Homura failed to protect Madoka. Not only from stopping Madoka from becoming a Witch, but also from stopping her from taken the burden of becoming the concept of hope, as a result one can say that Homura's wish went unfulfilled and it was a failure. Until the end of "Rebellion" that is, in the movie we see that Homura's wish has finally come to its conclusion by allowing Homura to become a new entity whose role is to protect and guard Madoka's happiness, at the expense of the Law of Cycles and against Madoka's wishes. A clear proof that the role reversal is finally complete is when Madoka is introduced as a shy transfer student and Homura shows her around the school, a complete reversal from the original series.
***If one thinks about it, Kyubey has been done in not by one but by two wishes!
***You could say that Homura just did what Madoka asked her to do. The reason that Homura became a magical girl was because she wanted to protect Madoka. In the 2nd timeline, Madoka even asked her to stop her foolish self from becoming a magical girl. In the last timeline she failed, and Madoka became a god-like entity. At the end, Homura returns everything to 'normal' so she kept her promise, more or less. Whatever reality looks like, Madoka is now safe from QB and from despair.
*If the anime series was based on "Faust", then "Rebellion" could be based somewhat on "Paradise Lost".
*It is speculated that the reason Homura made Madoka human again is because Madoka was not happy with being the entity of hope, she only did it out of duty.
**Another possible explanation, is that Homura feared what would Kyubey do if he succeeded in capturing Madoka, the best way to deal with him was for Homura and Madoka to switch, taking Madoka's power and Making Homura the new ruling entity of the universe.
*It is also speculated that by making Madoka as transfer student, Homura may have a chance to get closer to Madoka more than Sayaka was. Remember, Sayaka and Madoka had been childhood friends long before in EVERY Timeline, and Homura was only a transferred student to Madoka.
** Also Homura may have tried to improve Madoka's English since she got bad grades in previous timelines.
*Since Madoka can see and know the past, present, and future, she should have known this was going to happen to her.
**It is possible she allowed for things to unfold as it was predestined to happen.
***Another possible explanation is that perhaps Madoka really wanted to be a normal girl again.
***Or perhaps Madoka saw no other way to save Homura.
***It's also possible that losing her memories of the event right afterwards created a blank spot in her future sight.
*** There's another possible explanation. Madoka exists at every point in space and time. However, the moment Homura grabs her breaks time and space and changes the past and future. In other words, even from Madoka's omniscient perspective Homura grabbing at the critical moment hasn't happened yet.
** '''Actually''' the truth is simple! Remember, Madoka is omniscient because she exists in all of space and time. Kyubey's Isolation Field actually blocked Madoka from reaching Homura's Soul Gem...but what the show doesn't say is that ''it also blocked Madoka's omniscience!'' Since Madoka can't enter Homura's Soul Gem, she does not have absolute knowledge of what will happen. And when she does enter the Soul Gem, she loses her memories, her powers, and ''she's not experiencing all of time at once''; she appears in the form of a human, living time linearly. And when the Isolation Field is broken, Madoka regains her memories and powers...but not her omniscience because ''she's still in the form of a human, living time linearly''! (That's why Mami and Kyoko could see her.) Thus, Madoka couldn't predict Homura's actions at all! And it was all Kyubey's fault! (Heck, he's the one who told Homura that if Madoka can be observed, she can be interfered with...)
*The children of the fake city repeatedly say "Fort! Da!" right before Homura realizes she's a witch.
**"Fort!" and "Da!" are exclamations that Sigmund Freud heard his grandson Ernst utter while playing. This pair of words—meaning "Gone!" and "There!"—has become shorthand for repetition in early childhood, and for the primary processes that such behavior mobilizes.[http://www.answers.com/topic/fort-da]
***This is interpreted as the children of the fake city finding pleasure in making things go away and then finding them again, the Clara Dolls represent Homura's personality.
*Homura ([[Homulilly]]) maybe have a connection to [[wikipedia:Lilith|Lilith]], from the Old Testament[http://cishet.tumblr.com/post/65623363997/happy-halloween-lets-talk-about-homulily].
**Lilith is a pre-Christian, Babylonian demon, the most powerful of all succubus, who seduces man, deceives women, and steals children. She, working alongside with the incubus, impregnates mortals to propagate a new race call cambion. Christianity identifies the Lilith with the snake of the Garden of Eden, and also as Adam's first wife in an effort to reconcile the two origin stories in Genesis.
*By making Madoka a transfer student, Madoka's and Sayaka's childhood friendship never took place to develop. How will this affect their current relationship is hard to say.
** Various materials have established that Sayaka and Madoka were childhood friends. While it's likely that they would have still been friends as children in Homura's new world, Madoka moving to America probably strained their friendship.
*To protect Madoka and her secrets Homura wanted to die, so she tried to prevent Madoka from purifying her Soul Gem as it would mean that Kyubey would be able to observe and learn of Madoka's secrets and her powers so they could control her in the future.
**If Homura in her Witch form were to die inside the barrier, theoretically Homulilly's barrier would collapse and that would free Madoka and company from Homura's dream world.
*During the scene with the field of flowers, Madoka is trying to braid Homura's hair back into Homura's old hair style, perhaps an attempt to regress Homura back into her innocent and shy self.
**Homura gives back to Madoka her red ribbon, not only as a sign of returning something precious to her, but perhaps it is an attempt to reclaim back the old Madoka from the past, a regular and normal girl.
***In the ending scene, this gesture signifies Homura's realization that she cannot control Madoka regardless of whatever world she creates that they can be together and that her actions, which led to her descent into darkness, will inevitably lead to a struggle between them. This is a reverse mirror of the actions of Madoka trying to braid Homura's hair in the witch world, an attempt at conformity and acceptance of peace and harmony albeit constructed and false, except that with Homura tying Madoka's hair with the red ribbon she is restoring her true identity. Homura also acknowledges this by commenting that the red ribbons "really do look best on you" (a symbol of Madoka's true self) as compared to the yellow ribbons (her false identity created by Homura). Viewers should note that she cries when stating this, knowing that eventually Madoka will break away from the world and become her enemy. The final scene after the credits shows Homura smiling at her transformed Soul Gem (her new identity as an antithesis to Madoka) upon realizing that her wish to always be with Madoka has come true albeit in a cruel twisted fashion. Madoka who represents light and Homura who represents darkness are now natural opposing forces in the universe.
*During the post-credit sequence the Moon is missing half of its part (notice the light of the stars shining where they shouldnt be), the moon is physically cut off somehow. Indicating that something is amiss.
**At the same scene, at the top of a cliff we see [[:file:Chairs rebellion.png|Homura sitting on a single chair]], the scene is similar to the Opening of Madoka Magica movies ([[Luminous]]). But instead, just like the moon, we only see half of the field and only a single chair, with no Madoka next to Homura.
***While Homura was tilting her head in the chair, some fans suggest she was imagining Madoka was there, and then when she was looking behind her in the direction of the rustling grass, some fans suggest she was hoping to see Madoka approaching her.
* Near the end of the movie, some Clara Dolls can be seeing jumping off from a cliff, close to its edge we can see a large row of scattered shoes around. It is speculated that this is a symbolic image for in Japan those that attempt suicide tend to remove their shoes first before jumping/hanging themselves. We saw the same thing happen in the Madoka series with the [[Minor_Characters#Office_Lady|office lady]] when she took off her shoes before jumping from a building.
** You would notice the Clara Dolls are not wearing shoes when jumping.
* In the post-credits Kyubey emerges from some plants, looking healthy. Homura pulls out her gem and they start dancing. When we next see Kyubey he looks disheveled and even seems to be quivering, suggesting that Homura has somehow affected his mind. It's possible that Homura is actually placing all the curses and despair of the world onto Kyubey, both as revenge and to ensure that the curses cannot affect anyone else. One might say Kyubey is finally paying for all the things he has done.
*As Homura sat on the chair overlooking the cliff with the corpse of a Kyubey close to her, it invoked the imagery of the [[:wikipedia:The_Fool_(Tarot_card)|fool from the tarot cards]]. In tarot the fool is shown as a young man, walking unknowingly toward the brink of a precipice and he appears to be getting chased away by an animal, either a dog or a cat. According with the symbolism, ''"the fool is the spirit in search to a new journey and new experiences. He represents cleverness bereft of reason within us, the childlike ability to tune into the inner workings of the world. The sun shining behind him represents the divine nature of the Fool's wisdom and exuberance, holy madness or 'crazy wisdom'. On his back are all the possessions he might need. In his hand there is a flower, showing his appreciation of beauty. He is frequently accompanied by a dog, sometimes seen as his animal desires, sometimes as the call of the "real world", nipping at his heels and distracting him. He is seemingly oblivious that he is walking toward a precipice, apparently about to step off."''
*It is speculated that the Clara Dolls are aspects and characteristics of Homura's personality. Love, the last of the Clara Dolls remains unopened in her package. It is speculated that the reason is that Homura wont let go of her love.
**It is possible that there is a similarity to the myth of [[:wikipedia:Pandora|Pandora's box]]. In the Myth "hope" is entrapped in a box, suggesting that either hope has been denied to humanity and made prisoner; or hope has been kept in the box as a way to retain hope for humanity. Similarly, "Madoka" has been kept a prisoner inside of Homura's world, some have interpreted this as a way to deny the world of Madoka's hope, but it can also be interpreted as Homura's way to safeguard Madoka's hope away from Kyubey's nefarious plans.
*It is suspected that if Homura hadn't interfere, the ending of the movie would involve [[Yuri_undertones#Manga_Difference:_The_Miracle|MadoKami taking Homura to Heaven with her]], [[:file:161.jpg|similar to the manga]].
*During the movie sequence the city's aqueducts are encircled to form what looks like the [[:file:Tower of babel rebellion aqueduct.png|Tower of Babel.]]

===Fallen Angel Homura:===
[[File:Rebellion Runes - 010208 - ICH MOCHTE UNSEREN KUNDEN DANKEN.jpg|right|thumb|200px|15th [[Clara Dolls|Clara Doll]], Ai (Love), wearing a black dress. Ai represents Madoka, which is why she is wearing Madoka's magical girl outfit.]]

Since Homura declares to Madoka that they are enemies, this makes her her opponent as Homura opposes Madoka's will and her wishes. One can view this as Homura fallen into the role of the devil for going against what Madoka believes to be right.

'''Satan in Judaism:''' The original Hebrew term, satan, is a noun from a verb meaning primarily to, “obstruct, oppose,”. Satan is traditionally translated as “the accuser,” or “the adversary.” In Judaism, Satan is a term used since its earliest biblical contexts, to refer to a human opponent. Thus, Satan is personified as a character in three different places, serving as an accuser, a seducer, or as a heavenly persecutor who is "among the sons of God". In any case, Satan is always subordinate to the power of God, having a role in the divine plan.

'''Satan in Christianity:''' Christian tradition and theology changed "Satan" from an accuser appointed by God to test men's faith to God's godlike fallen opponent: "the Devil". Traditionally, Christians have understood the Devil to be the author of lies and promoter of evil'. However, the Devil can go no further than the word of Christ the Logos allows, [[wikipedia:Problem_of_evil#Christianity|resulting in the problem of evil']].

As Lucifer's or Satan's motive for rebelling and as the nature of his sin, Christian writers mention pride against God or, less often, envy of humanity created in the image of God. According to Tertullian the Devil was jealous of humans, created in the divine image and given authority over the world, and an 18th-century French Capuchin preacher, citing Tertullian and Augustine as giving envy as the motive for the fall, describes the Rebel Angel as jealous of Adam's exaltation, which he saw as a diminution of his own status.

'''Satan in Islam''': In Islam the Devil is known as Iblīs or Shayṭān, it has no name corresponding in meaning to that of the Latin word lucifer. Iblis is banished from heaven for refusing to prostrate himself before Adam. Thus, he sins after the creation of man. He then swears revenge by tempting human beings and turning them away from God. While in Judaism and Christianity, Satan is a fallen angel, Iblis is a jinn. Muslims believe that angels are the servants of God and cannot disobey him, but jinn, like men, can choose to obey or disobey.

'''Satan in Luciferianism''': Luciferianism is a belief system that venerates the essential characteristics that are affixed to Lucifer. The tradition, influenced by Gnosticism, usually reveres Lucifer not as the Devil, but as a liberator or guiding spirit, or even the true god as opposed to Jehovah.

'''Satan in Satanism''': Satanic groups have various opinions about Satan, ranging from the conviction that he exists and ought to be worshipped, to Anton Szandor LaVey's symbolic interpretation, which emphasizes individual will and pleasure-seeking.

====The Comparison to Lucifer====
While the comparison between Homura and the devil/Lucifer seems inevitable, we have to avoid the temptation of falling into the false logic that the comparison is without its flaws.

Jealousy

In one story it is stated that Lucifer was jealous of the human race, that they were not worthy and undeserving of God's love.

The argument states that Homura has done a lot for Madoka, sacrificing so much for her, and helping her ascend into a higher plane existence. As a result, Homura should be worthy of Madoka's love and praise. The reason that Homura sacrificed so much for Madoka is because she loves her. Homura put ups with so much suffering because of her, yet Madoka, instead of reciprocating Homura's feelings, she cannot help but to love everyone equally. As a result Madoka avoids picking up favorites. The argument is that Homura was jealous of Madoka's unconditional love for everyone, and this lead us to assume that Homura believes herself to be worthy of being Madoka's favorite and explains the reason why Homura went against Madoka's wishes.

However, this argument has a terrible flaw. It assumes that Homura's actions were driven by jealousy, yet there is no indication that this is the case. While is true that Madoka loves everyone equally, and perhaps Homura wished for Madoka to be a bit more selfish and stop thinking about others at the expense of her own self, there is no indication of jealousy against anyone. Homura didnt expect special treatment from Madoka, she was quite happy with Madoka's relationship already (except when there was a distance between them that took place because of the time reset in the anime series). If anything, Homura wanted Madoka to be able to live happily for her own sake at the expense of abandoning her duties and obligations toward others.

Pride

Lucifer was the first of Angels and chief among them, Archangel Michael was only second to him, Lucifer's devotion to God was not only driven by love but also by pride. God's love for humanity was troubling for Lucifer, for he couldnt comprehend why such an inferior creature should receive such equal love and worthy praise from God, as if making them equals to him. As a result of this friction Lucifer rebelled.

However, just like the jealousy argument the pride argument falls flat. While is true that Homura became stronger to please Madoka, she also did it to help her out of pure devotion to her, not out of pride. Not only that, but Homura's devotion for Madoka never turned her into an arrogant or prideful character. There may have been moments of something like pride and moments of stubbornness, but nothing to indicate to be egotistical in nature. When Homura's goal felt short, she did not despair out of arrogance nor she boasted hubris in her accomplishments. Instead she was too focused on Madoka and her well being.

Disobedience

This argument seems to fit with the Lucifer argument, that Lucifer went against God's wishes, that he went against God's plan for humanity, so did Homura and as result it makes them to be the same. But this argument seems to overlook motive behind Homura's actions. Lucifer's actions were driven by personal ambition, pride, or even jealousy, as stated previously. But Homura's motives behind her actions are the opposite, she did it because she cared for Madoka too much, she wanted to free Madoka from the burdens of being a prisoner to her duties and her devotion and love for others. She also did it to protect Madoka from Kyubey, the complete opposite of Lucifer's intentions. The only reason Homura is Madoka's enemy is because of their opposite views about what is best for Madoka.

Devil's advocate

Homura's motivations and beliefs don't demonstrate a pattern of similar behavior to that of Lucifer's. Lucifer was jealous of humans; Homura wasn't jealous of anyone. Lucifer was boastful, prideful, and arrogant; Homura was stubborn, and she never surrendered under pressure but only because she did it for Madoka's sake, not for her own interest. Homura disagreed with Madoka's plan because it came down to sacrificing Madoka's happiness for everyone else's. The problem with the Lucifer comparison is that the concept is too broad with some of the elements. It has similarities but the minor details tells a different story. Lucifer was a selfish and jealous angel/demon, and he wanted to take God down so he could rule in his stead, ''"Better to reign in Hell, than serve in Heaven."'' God's happiness was never a factor. Other than dethroning Madoka, going against her wishes, and perhaps loving her too much, the comparison seems to be a bit unfair but understandable.
*We know from the series that the power of the wish and it's intent slowly turn on you, like Sayaka's love for Kyousuke eventually twisting her love into hating everything. If we look at Homura's love for Madoka to repeatedly go through hell to try and save her, only to lose her completely eventually, the love she had would twist into everything said here. The understanding that Madoka sacrificed herself to save everyone turns into Jealousy that she can't have Madoka to herself, that she has enough pride in herself to think she can do things better by lying to everyone fits and same with the disobedience. But we're not really talking about Homura anymore, Homura has been corrupted into a vastly different God-Witch version of Homulilly, who see's everything as being wrong and deciding to change things.

=== Homura's State of Mind ===
Homura's personality and mental state has radically changed by the end of the film. There are several speculations as to why or how it happened.

'''Corruption of the mind:''' During the transition process from a human/magical girl into what it is now a new entity, Homura's mind became corrupted or altered during the transformation process. Homura is not human, she is not a magical girl, she is not even a Witch, she something completely different, as a result this is a different Homura.

'''Mental Stress:''' Considering Homura's mental state prior to the movie, it is surprising that she hasn't suffered from a complete mental breakdown before. Homura saw her friends die countless times, had to repeat an endless nightmarish cycle through time and space, almost lost her life countless times, and then she was forced to part away from Madoka, the person she sacrificed everything for, let us not forget prior to being a magical girl Homura was riddled with insecurities, (possible) family abandonment, a weak physical body, and being bullied in school. Add that with the torture she had to go through under Kyubey's experiment, and it becomes clear that it was probably too much for an already fragile mind.

'''Homura's Insecurities and fears:''' While Homura presents herself to be strong and compose, inside she is still that weak and insecure little girl, she always was. Homura was always wearing a mask to keep the appearance and impression that she has things under control. In the anime series we saw moments when Homura's strong exterior felt apart momentarily. It is those fears that are driving Homura to take drastic measures, the fear of losing Madoka again and she believes that the only way to guarantee Madoka's happiness is by taking control of the situation.

'''Natural Progression:''' Homura is a survivalist, she adapts to the situation as it suits her, when she was weak she looked up to Madoka for inspiration and help, when she lost Madoka she tried to become stronger to protect her. Now that she is a powerful entity, she believes it is her responsibility and duty to take matters with her own hands.

'''The Real Homura all along:''' Rather than power corrupting one person, it is suggested that power actually reveals ones true self. Perhaps what we are witnessing is Homura's true nature. Homura used to be a weak girl, bullied by classmates and dependent on the kindness of others. Now that she is an all powerful being, unrestrained by human weakness or limitation, she is allowed to do anything she wants, and probably what she always wanted to do but was afraid to do so.

===Gone mad from the revelation?===
Another possibility is that Homura is not really evil but actually found something about Madoka that drove her off the deep end.

If you remember clearly, Madoka's wish was to erase all witches from existence before they're even born, in the universe, from the past and the future, with my her own hands. Hence Madoka became an entity who removed from existence all magical girls who became witches and placed them in another dimension of her own.

There is a catch, however, Madoka never wished she would take their souls to another dimension.

This whole movie took place inside an entire reality created inside Homura's soul gem, a barrier which reflected her ideal world where everything happened in the way she dreamed of and which began to crumble once she realized she had been living a farce threatening her friends. In other words, Homura experienced what it's like to be an oblivious god living in a world made by your wishes until you realize your own folly and crumbles in despair.

This is where things get worse, the moment Madoka was restored and came to take her soul, Homura realized that Madoka wasn't just erasing witches, she was absorving the souls of all witches into her barrier '''HEAVEN''' and living in her own fake world rid of misfortune. This is why all witches in the movie could retain their consciousness and switch into magical girls, because their grief was erased by Madoka's barrier which gave them an "afterlife" free of suffering.

It was that cruel realization, that Madoka's wish of hope only trapped her in a false happiness of godhood, which broke Homura utterly and made her change into a dark deity hellbent on suppressing Madoka's wish.

If Homura could remake the '''MORTAL WORLD''' into something free of witches and suffering, then Madoka would think that Homura's world was already heaven and wouldn't try to become a saviour at the expense of her own sacrifice.

Considering the lengths Homura goes to protect Madoka, it would make perfect sense if she was willing to trade Madoka's love for her ire and disapproval if that meant not letting Madoka ever realize she became a lotus eater machine for every magical girl who died.

*this would imply the entire post-series pre-rebellion universe is Madoka's barrier, for her to be able to take the despair of magical girls despite being outside of her heaven.
*However Madoka destroyed her witch self, as her wish to erase all witches includes herself, this theory would depend upon a God's haven working in a similar way to a witches' barrier or Homura believing they do. Sayaka seemed to remember exactly what happened to her where as Homura's lotus eater machine messed with people's memories.
**So far there was no evidence of witches erasing the memories of people who came to their barrier at any point until Homulilly, even then so, Ultimate Madoka is clearly something else than a witch, like Homura she is something above witches and magical girls but instead of creating a barrier geared towards making reality her playground she made her "space" outside the real world for the sake of giving rest and healing to the soul of all meguka. What drives the corrupted Homura insane is the fact Madoka is not aware she makes this heaven regardless of her own personal happiness, she is being driven by her '''merciful''' nature to guide all of these souls to her blissful barrier were they no longer suffer, unaware if that's her personal choice or just a cursed existence ignorant to her self-imposed enslavement.
***Just a point. When Madoka make her wish, she was aware all magical girls eventually die, as all living things do. So maybe, she just goes as thing went normally, sending their souls to her "heaven" (It can't be named "Barrier" because it is exclusively for Witches/Nightmares, and Madokami ins't a witch/nightmare). Or according a Buddhism, she start a reincarnation cycle.

=== Is Homura selfish? ===

Well, it's complicated.

Selfish can be defined as ''"[http://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/selfish concerned excessively or exclusively with oneself: seeking or concentrating on one's own advantage, pleasure, or well-being without regard for others]"''.

In the movie it becomes clear that Homura's philosophy is the opposite of Madoka's. Whereas Madoka believes she should sacrifice herself for the world, Homura believes the world should sacrifice itself for Madoka. That Homura is willing to sacrifice herself for Madoka is laudable, that she is willing to sacrifice others is not. That Homura is willing to become Madoka's enemy, to kidnap and imprison Madoka in order to make a world where Madoka can be happy, is disturbing.

In other words, Homura only cares about her own desire, which means she is selfish. However, her own desire is the happiness of another person - and she is willing to sacrifice her own life, happiness, and morality to achieve that. Thus, Homura's selfishness almost seems paradoxical. It is a self-denying selfishness, a selfishness where one desire is placed above all others. One could say that in the end, Homura is practicing absolute selfishness, sacrificing ''all'' to achieve her one desire.

Homrua's behaviour refers to "Solipsism"

===Junko's Words of Wisdom:===
In [[Episode 6]] of Madoka Magica, Madoka has a problem. She wants to help Sayaka, but she doesn't know how. She believes Sayaka is on the right, but the more Sayaka tries to do the right thing, the worst it is for her because it doesn't cause her happiness. When Madoka confides this to her mom, Junko advices Madoka to ''[[Madoka_Magica_Episode_6:_This_Just_Isn%27t_Right#Observations|"do something wrong"]]'' to balance things out. According with Junko, someone needs to be in the right, and someone needs to be in the wrong.

If we take Junko's words at heart, the heart of the matter in "Rebellion" reveals itself. Madoka as the concept of hope is burdened with responsibilities that go beyond for a little girl to handle, Madoka is separated from her family, she is not allowed to grow up normally into healthy adulthood. Instead she is forced to accept adult responsibilities at such a young age, and she must carry the burdens of the whole universe by herself, alone. But Madoka wont abandon her new role nor will she allow the universe to be in a chaotic state. As a result Madoka is, rather than a savior of the universe, a prisoner to her responsibilities, or at least that seems to be how Homura sees it. It is possible that Homura wants to give a happy ending to Madoka, ''"but you can't expect a happy ending just by doing what's right all the time."''

Homura realizes that in order to protect Madoka, and the world that she loves, Homura must act in a way that is not nice/pleasant to outside observers, ''"even if it's not the nicest way to do it."'' Since Madoka wont abandon her duties as Ultimate Madoka and her role within the universe that she watches over, she will never experience a normal life as long as she is bound by duty and her noble sentiment. This is the source that causes Madoka to sacrifice her life and her happiness for the greater good, a noble act but one that Homura understands doesn't bring happiness to Madoka, even if Madoka wont admit it herself. Homura ''"has to be in the wrong to balance out [Madoka's] need to be in the right."'' It is for this reason that Homura takes such a treacherous and drastic action against Madoka, realizing that there is no other way to help her.

Homura warns Madoka that they may become enemies someday because she doesn't know if Madoka will ever come to understand Homura's choice. ''"She may or may not. Especially at first. [...] it might not be the nicest way to do it. But would [Homura] rather give up on her, or give [Madoka] the wrong idea about [her]?"'' Homura would never give up on Madoka, so she accepts the latter as a possible consequence of her actions.

In conclusion, Homura acted out of selfish desire to make Madoka happy, because Madoka's was trying to make everyone happy but herself.

===Alternate, Non-Dualist Theory===

It is possible that the focus on dualism and the idea of Homura becoming a Lucifer-like figure is fundamentally misunderstanding what happened in the ending of The Rebellion Story. There are somewhat obvious problems with the idea of dualism- for one, in the new universe, Madokami doesn't appear to have any real power. In order for dualism to truly exist, both opposing forces must have equal power, this is clearly not the case. Akuma Homura essentially just overthrew the existing order, but absorbed Madokami within her, imprisoning her along with the entire universe in her witch's barrier, which really ceases to be one once it covers the whole universe.

First, we need to step back and look at what Homura actually did. She created a new world that was presumably peaceful and stable, there are no magical girls who fight endlessly into inevitable despair, and presumably she can twist the world to eliminate the curses that need to be fought. She takes all the despair into herself. Recall that Homura's first real questioning of her own fake Mitakihara was "can we really continue fighting forever?" That world is how it is because endless fighting is all Homura really knows, and by questioning it she ultimately questions all she's ever known. She constructed the fake Mitakihara as an ideal world initially- one where magical girls could continue to fight evil with no real negative consequences, thus still giving them their wishes and purpose. She then rebels against this notion, tearing down her own vision of utopia because she no longer sees it that way, she wants a world without magical girls.

Now we can go back farther before the movie and look at what Madoka actually did. She never pursued or was granted the powers of an actual omnipotent god, she never looked to rewrite the entire universe. Technically, she doesn't even fully gets rid of witches, she just absorbs the despair into herself and allows the magical girls to pass away peacefully without becoming monsters and corrupting others. But that is the extent of her power, and even she is not immune from despair and corruption, indeed we see Madokami's witch attempting to devour the world, but Madokami was able to save herself just as she was able to save everyone else. Curses and negative feelings still exist at the same levels they did before, they just now manifest into Wraiths, which can be interpreted as the raw manifestation of negative feelings rather than corruptions of magical girls. The most important thing here is that all the laws of the universe that existed long before Madokami are still intact after Madoka's wish.

Now recall perhaps the biggest revelation in the new movie: the Incubators were obviously unsatisfied with the power attained from the wraiths, and after seeing the truth about witches within Homura, it was the Incubators thirst that sought Madokami's power, either to take her power or destroy her so they could go back to the more lucrative witch system. This is the detail that makes Homura's decision-making much less confusing, and in fact, completely understandable. As she breaks out of the prison with the help of the others, and Madokami comes down to take her to Valhalla, she knows she cannot let that happen. Why? Because she knows what they don't: the Incubators are after Madoka. They will continue to experiment and to pervert existing magical girls as they did with her in order to find a way to destroy Madoka. So, she uses her last remaining strength to usurp Madoka, take her power, and imprison her. Why? It's quite simple, and Homura states it explicitly: love.

The one constant throughout the entire series is that Homura loves Madoka, and her wish was one that ensure that she would be able to protect her. Indeed, that is her singular purpose in life to protect Madoka at literally any cost- even if it means becoming the demon that usurps her power, even if it means becoming her enemy. She had to find a way to end the Incubators and their schemes once and for all, even if it meant having to hurt Madoka and imprison her in the new universe, which bends to no rules but Homura's. And, recalling Sayoktavia's words from earlier in the movie: is an entity which creates a paradise like this truly one that is bad, and should be opposed? Homura sees herself as a devil-like figure, and of course she would, doing what she did despairs her greatly, but it needed to be done in order to protect Madoka. But is she truly bad, or Devil-like for creating a world without curses? Was it truly madness or insanity that drove her to do it, or was she thinking more clearly and logically than anyone else?

Ultimately, it brings us to one thesis: Just as Madoka had to become a magical girl to reach her ends of eliminating the suffering and corruption of magical girls, Homura had to become a witch to protect that system, to suffer forever for the sake of keeping the universe stable. There is dualism, but yet there is not, there is only Homura, using the power of Madoka's sacrifice to finally stabilize things and create her own true vision of utopia.

Where it goes from here depends on whether a sequel eventually will come. It could end in that state, with Homura maintaining the universe in her order. It might end in a way that allows both the existence of Madoka and Homura to merge- or perhaps they will both finally be able to pass and have their existences end, as all things do.

==="Gott ist tot" and Nietzsche [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vzRbCrIWURY]===
<blockquote>'''Homura:''' "Escaping into this impossible world. Abandoning the responsibility to fight wraiths. Such weakness... I'll never be able to forgive. Magical girls... Have no choice but to continue fighting. That is... The price we pay for our miracle. It was for our sakes that... She... Sacrificed herself to try to save us. {{Runes|WER TRÄUMT?}} '''Homura:'''This farce... Is just making light of Madoka's sacrifice! I won't forgive this!" '''Clara Dolls:''' "Gott ist tot! Gott ist tot! Gott ist tot!"</blockquote>

Friedrich Nietzsche is known for what some consider to be his [[:wikipedia:Philosophy_of_Friedrich_Nietzsche|controversial philosophy]]. He called himself an "immoralist" and harshly criticized the prominent moral philosophies of his day: Christianity, [[:wikipedia:Kantianism|Kantianism]], and [[:wikipedia:Utilitarianism|utilitarianism]]. Nietzsche was also known for being very critical of the Western belief in [[:wikipedia:egalitarianism|egalitarianism]] and [[:wikipedia:rationality|rationality]].

Nietzsche saw [[:wikipedia:Nihilism|nihilism]] as the outcome of repeated frustrations in the search for meaning. He diagnosed nihilism as a latent presence within the very foundations of European culture, and saw it as a necessary and approaching destiny. Nietzsche argued that Western culture must face and transcend in the wake of the irreparable dissolution of its traditional foundations, moored largely in classical Greek philosophy and Christianity.

====GOOD AND EVIL====

In [[:wikipedia:Beyond_Good_And_Evil|Beyond Good And Evil]] and ''On the Genealogy of Morality'', Nietzsche's genealogical account of the development of modern moral systems occupies central place. For Nietzsche, a fundamental shift took place from thinking in terms of "good" and "bad" toward "good" and "evil."

Nietzsche argued that two types of morality existed: a master morality that springs actively from the "noble man", and a slave morality that develops reactively within the weak man. These two moralities do not present simple inversions of one another. They form two different value systems: master morality fits actions into a scale of 'good' or 'bad' whereas slave morality fits actions into a scale of "good" or "evil".

The initial form of morality was set by a warrior aristocracy and other ruling castes of ancient civilizations. Aristocratic values of "good" and "bad" coincided with and reflected their relationship to lower castes such as slaves. Nietzsche presented this "master morality" as the original system of morality—perhaps best associated with Homeric Greece. To be "good" was to be happy and to have the things related to happiness: wealth, strength, health, power, etc. To be "bad" was to be like the slaves over which the aristocracy ruled, poor, weak, sick, pathetic—an object of pity or disgust rather than hatred.

"Slave morality" comes about as a reaction to master-morality. Here, value emerges from the contrast between good and evil: good being associated with other-worldliness, charity, piety, restraint, meekness, and submission; and evil seen as worldly, cruel, selfish, wealthy, and aggressive. Nietzsche sees slave morality as pessimistic and fearful, values for them serving only to ease the existence for those who suffer from the very same thing. He associated slave-morality with the Jewish and Christian traditions, in a way that slave-morality is born out of the ressentiment of slaves. Nietzsche argued that the idea of equality allowed slaves to overcome their own condition without hating themselves. And by denying the inherent inequality of people (such as success, strength, beauty or intelligence), slaves acquired a method of escape, namely by generating new values on the basis of rejecting something that was seen as a perceived source of frustration. It was used to overcome the slave's own sense of inferiority before the (better-off) masters. It does so by making out slave weakness to be a matter of choice, by, e.g., relabeling it as "meekness." The "good man" of master morality is precisely the "evil man" of slave morality, while the "bad man" is recast as the "good man."

====NIHILISM====

When Nietzsche says that God is dead, what he means is that our entire concept of “God” is dead. The Christian concept of God as an all-powerful, all-knowing, morally good, caring, Supreme Being is dead, according to Nietzsche. But God no longer listens to us, nor knows how to respond. This lack of communication between us and God is the cause of the decline of theism (Beyond Good and Evil, Sec. 53). New forces have taken the place of God in our lives, forces such as money and science have provided a new faith for us in an increasingly materialistic society. We have become religious atheists, we no longer have God, but we practice religion. But religion involves sacrifice, and that is why God is dead.

Nietzsche was concerned that the death of God has lead to a pervasive state [[:wikipedia:Nihilism|nihilism]]. By sacrificing God in the name of [[:wikipedia:Asceticism|asceticism]], asceticism has lost its purpose and meaning to life. Nietzsche argued that one way in which we attempted to fill the space left by God’s death is through secular science. Since we have traded God for science, we now worship science as our new God. Science has occupied the throne on which God used to sit. Science has become the new ascetic faith, populated by theoretical entities and forces. But unlike theism, science ascribes no meaning to life’s happening. It only provides the means by which life happens; it provides the how, not the why.

For Nietzsche, the alternative to nihilism and asceticism lies in the positive affirmation of life.[http://answers.yahoo.com/question/index?qid=20070804135148AAzRjPS]

====WILL TO POWER====

A basic element in Nietzsche's philosophical outlook is the [[:wikipedia:Will_to_power|will to power]] (der Wille zur Macht), which provides a basis for understanding human behavior — more so than competing explanations, such as the ones based on pressure for adaptation or survival.

In presenting his theory of human behavior, Nietzsche also addressed, and attacked, concepts from philosophies popularly embraced in his days, such as [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zNDw9lO8uKg Schopenhauer's notion of an aimless will] or that of utilitarianism. Utilitarians claim that what moves people is mainly the desire to be happy, to accumulate pleasure in their lives. But such a conception of happiness Nietzsche rejected as something limited to, and characteristic of, the bourgeois lifestyle of the English society, and instead put forth the idea that happiness is not an aim per se — it is instead a consequence of a successful pursuit of one's aims, of the overcoming of hurdles to one's actions — in other words, of the fulfillment of the will.

====ÜBERMENSCH====

Nietzsche's Zarathustra ties the [[:wikipedia:Übermensch#Death_of_God_and_the_creation_of_new_values|Übermensch to the death of God]]. While this God was the ultimate expression of other-worldly values and the instincts that gave birth to those values, belief in that God nevertheless did give meaning to life for a time. 'God is dead' means that the idea of God can no longer provide values. With the sole source of values no longer capable of providing those values, there is a real chance of nihilism prevailing.

Zarathustra presents the Übermensch as the creator of new values. In this way, it appears as a solution to the problem of the death of God and nihilism. If the Übermensch acts to create new values within the moral vacuum of nihilism, there is nothing that this creative act would not justify. Alternatively, in the absence of this creation, there are no grounds upon which to criticize or justify any action, including the particular values created and the means by which they are promulgated.

In order to avoid a relapse into Platonic idealism or asceticism, the creation of these new values cannot be motivated by the same instincts that gave birth to those tables of values. Instead, they must be motivated by a love of this world and of life. Whereas Nietzsche diagnosed the Christian value system as a reaction against life and hence destructive in a sense, the new values which the Übermensch will be responsible for will be life-affirming and creative.

====Homura's Will to Power====

When Homura discovers that she is actually trapped within a Witch's barrier, she despair not because she is trapped, but because she was allowed to be easily influenced and be deceived by such a pleasant trap or dream. The dream makes a mockery of Madoka's sacrifice, making her victory to ring hollow as Homura has chosen a dream over reality. We have to remember that within this dream, it brings the fulfillment of all of Homura's friends. Mami is not alone as she combats Nightmares not by herself, but with a team in a manner resembling typical magical girls. Kyouko and Sayaka rather than being antagonists they are close friends and are even living together. Madoka is back in the real world as a magical girl, she is back to her friends and her family, but not only that she is also happy. The Dream is not only pleasant for Homura (having Madoka back and being friends with the girls), but it is also a vehicle for the personal fulfillment for the girls as well. Yet the dream is a lie, hence why Homura is angry with herself. Perhaps the dream reminded Homura how much she misses Madoka, her absence in Homura's life is deep and profound. Perhaps Homura at that moment grew disillusioned with the MadoVerse. The only reason Homura endured so much suffering was the promise that they would meet again when Homura's Soul Gems were to be tainted, the promise of paradise drove her to continue her journey, and yet the dream shattered Homura's conviction possibly at that point. At that moment it is possible to suggest that Homura realizes that she is a prisoner of a dream that is also a lie, and as a result perhaps Homura comes with an actual self realization that she actually liked the dream more than her reality, a reality where there is no Madoka, only Ultimate Madoka. We can suspect at this moment that Homura lost faith on Ultimate Madoka, not on Madoka herself, but on the concept of Ultimate Madoka. In the MadoVerse Sayaka became friends with Kyouko but she is dead, the girls fight together as a team but against dangerous Wraiths not silly creatures like Nightmares, the fate of Magical Girls does not lead to tea and cakes, but being taken away by the Law of Cycles, and Madoka is a separate entity from the MadoVerse. It is during this self actualization that the Clara Dolls cry, ''"Gott ist tot"''. Perhaps it is during this moment of crisis of faith that Homura has doubts about the system. We have to remember that Homura's Witch's Barrier creation of such dream is no accident. After all, Kyubey states that Homura's barrier would only allow a specific target or person to be allowed to enter; it is speculated that the Clara Dolls probably even kidnapped the specific targets. As a result, we can speculate that deep down, Homura wished for a better world than of the MadoVerse.

But there is another possibility that perhaps pushed Homura to her new conviction, the flower bed scene. It is stated that Homura is talking with the real Madoka, but this Madoka has no recollection of her previous life. As a result of their conversation Homura is convinced that Madoka would never abandon her family and friends knowingly or willingly. Madoka's amnesia is convenient enough to convince Homura to take a different path. Homura is convinced she must save Madoka from her foolish self. It is possible that during the flower bed scene, those may have been Madoka's true feelings at the time, but those are the result of Madoka's lost memory. Homura probably knows that that Madoka given the choice she may decide to become Ultimate Madoka given the circumstances, but this doesnt matter. To Homura, she decides that she has the conviction to pursue her original goal, which was to become stronger enough to protect and save Madoka, even if it means having to go against Madoka herself. Homura knew she had to end the Law of Cycles to free Madoka from herself.

Given Homura's epiphany and the events in the flower bed scene, it is easy to figure out what drove Homura to change the system and "rescue" Madoka from herself. Not only did Homura changed the world, but one could agree she did for the better regardless of Madoka's wishes. In the HomuVerse Sayaka is alive, Nagisa meets Mami, Madoka is back with her family, and everything seems to be for the better (as we know for now). The HomuVerse is almost similar to the Dream World that Homura created in her Witch's barrier. In a way Homura is trying to recreate the world from the Dream World. A clear indication that perhaps Homura was not happy with the conditions in the MadoVerse. Homura has become the Übermensch, for she has changed the rules of the universe and created new values. But more than that, she has defeated, tamed, and contained Madoka's biggest threat, Kyubey's race, something that Madoka has not done in the previous reality.

====Rebellion and Nietzsche====

The following interpretation is an attempt to observe rebellion through the eyes of Nietzsche. It is open to interpretation and it is not the final authority regarding the body of work in Rebellion.

It is possible that Homura realized that the New World, while better than the Old World with its cruel system, had some problems, problems that Homura couldnt overlook after her moment of epiphany. It is perhaps of this reason that Homura decides to rebel against Madoka. Homura is trying to liberate Madoka from an oppressive cycle that makes her not just a prisoner, but also a slave to her conviction and sense of goodness. When Homura is given the choice to free herself from her torture by allowing Madoka to spirit her away, she proclaims to Kyoube that she would prefer to become a Witch and fall into despair forever, rather than allow Madoka to fall into his trap. Homura is not ashamed that she became a witch, it is possible that she was ashamed that she failed to meet Madoka's expectations, that she fell into a dream and chose the dream over Madoka's salvation. But once Homura overcame her fears and doubts she became resolute to rescue Madoka from herself, from her bondage to the Law of Cycles.

One could suggest that perhaps the Law of Cycles did not liberate the magical girls at all, but instead made them prisoners into a new "slave system", for these girls still met a terrible (but less horrible) fate in the end. Rather than becoming witches, they are spirited away to some paradise, a reward for their personal sacrifice, yet they are still obligated to fulfill their contract by making them unable to escape from their ultimate fate. The Law of Cycles was the result of Madoka's sacrifice. The fulfillment of a promise that the suffering of magical girls would end. What Madoka has done was to change some of the rules of the old system to make the lives of magical girls more pleasant and lessen some of its horrifying aspects, but she also inserted an incentive to reward these magical girls for their deaths. Yet this fulfillment is not based on personal accomplishment but based on sacrifices. As a result Nietzsche would point out that the suffering of these girls did not lead to personal growth or allowed them to overcome their suffering, but instead they were cheated by giving them bribes to ease their pain. There is no affirmation of life, they overcome nothing.

Since these magical girls cannot overcome this ultimate fate, one can argue that they all failed to fulfill their potential. Except for Homura, she overcomes the ultimate fate by not dying, by not becoming a Witch, by not being taken away by Madoka. Perhaps making Homura the Übermensch. It has to be pointed out, that Homura was the first person to realize that the girls were trapped inside a Witch barrier (with the exception of Nagisa and Sayaka), Homura was possibily awakening from the dream before the other girls did, a self actualization that there was something possibly wrong with the order of the world. It is possible that Homura's struggles started to manifest "her will to power", her transformation into the Übermensch to overcome her personal struggles. According with Nietzsche, human suffering is necessary for personal growth as well as for their potential for one to attain one's goal by overcoming such obstacles. Homura's endless suffering, doubts, fears, as well as her will allowed her to overcome her obstacles. Homura explains to Kyubey that the reason she didnt become a Witch, was because of her love for Madoka, because Madoka was always on her mind. One can interpret this as saying that Homura's mind was always obsessing with her goal or objective, which happens to be Madoka's safety. Her will to overcome her weakness to save Madoka was driven by her ambition and goal, and Homura needed to overcome her long and almost endless struggle to obtain it. Homura overcame her obstacles not through [[Talk:Philosophical_Observations#Madoka_and_Minding_her_Motive|Kantian means like a noble self-sacrifice]], nor by [[Talk:Philosophical_Observations#Kyubey_and_Utilitarianism|a base selfish means like utilitarianism]]. Instead, Homura obtained her fulfillment by overcoming her struggle, even if it meant being hated by Madoka.

Perhaps Goddoka had to "die" in order to break the new cycle that was less horrifying but smothering, a confining system based on Madoka's values like goodness and sacrifice. Goddoka also had to die so she could live as an ordinary human girl in the Homuverse, so she could reaffirm life as an ordinary person, rather than as a divine being trapped within the system. A system that tried to alleviate suffering at the expense of personal growth and strength, strength needed to overcome personal obstacles. The values in such a system do not only deprived Madoka from fulfilling her full potential without restrain, but were obstacles to her personal happiness.

As a side note, Nietzsche's idea of the [[:wikipedia:Friedrich_Nietzsche#Eternal_return|Eternal Return]] is eerily similar to Homura's endless time travel in the series. It is a concept which posits that the universe has been recurring, and will continue to recur, in a self-similar form an infinite number of times across infinite time or space. Nietzsche contemplates the idea as potentially "horrifying and paralyzing", and says that its burden is the "heaviest weight" imaginable ("das schwerste Gewicht"). The wish for the eternal return of all events would mark the ultimate affirmation of life, a reaction to Schopenhauer's praise of denying the will‐to‐live. The purpose is not only for an eternal struggle, but also for the eternal overcoming of the struggle of life, and its celebration.

Madoka overcame her personal struggles with a noble sacrifice, she became a magical girl, transformed into a witch, and then she transcended into Ultimate Madoka but at a cost. Nietzsche would deny that Madoka overcame anything at all. But Homura did overcame her struggles by actually overcoming them, by suffering, by growing, and by sheer personal will. As Homura stated, she is neither a witch, nor a magical girl. She is something more.

At the ending when Homura was dancing and then jumped from the cliff, one can interpret it as Homura reaffirming life.

===Bhuddism and Mara (with a bit of Gnosticism)===
The original ''Madoka Magica'' anime had [http://mlpomo.blogspot.com/2013/08/latin-latin-madoka-more-latin-puella.html Bhuddist] [http://listlessink.wordpress.com/2011/04/23/birth-of-a-goddess-madokas-path-to-nirvana-a-study-of-buddhism/ themes] that might be missed by any viewers that are unfamiliar with the concepts presented.

In [[Madoka Magica Portable]], [[Homulilly]] is described as the witch of "Shigan". Shigan is a Bhuddist concept that basically means the mortal world humans live in. It's opposite is [[wikipedia:Higan|Higan]], which represents the afterlife or Enlightenment. In other words, Homulilly is an existence opposed to Madoka (who represents salvation from suffering).

In Bhuddist mythology there is a deity named [[wikipedia:Mara_(demon)|Mara]]. Often described as a devil or demon, he is closer to the [[wikipedia:Demiurge|Demiurge]] in Gnostic Christianity. Mara represents temptation and desire - in other words, anti-enlightenment. (On a possibly not so coincidental note, [[wikipedia:Mara_(folklore)|Mara]] is also the name of a creature from Germanic folklore that is the origin of the word "Nightmare".) In ''Rebellion'', Homura evokes Mara when she creates an illusory, perfect world out of her own desires that traps others within it (following the Bhuddist concept of the world as an illusion). Then, at the end of the movie, Homura absorbs Madoka and remakes the world, with Madoka reincarnated as a normal girl. In a Buddhist interpretation, Homura took a [[wikipedia:Bodhisattva|Bodhisattva]] away from Enlightenment and trapped her in the mortal world. Not only is this ''really bad'' by Buddhist terms, but Homura also did it out of her selfish desire for Madoka. In Buddhism, desire is one of the sources of all suffering.

To summarize, Homura is Mara (or the Demiurge) keeping Madoka - who is more or less Bhudda (or the Gnostic [[wikipedia:Sophia_(Gnosticism)|Sophia]]) - trapped in the mortal world, where is she ignorant of her true nature. As the Mara figure, Homura will do whatever she can to keep Madoka in the mortal world, but the only way for anyone to achieve true salvation is if Madoka awakens and breaks Homura's illusion.

===Sayaka and the comparison to Archangel Michael===
[[File:Wont forget (id=40231587).jpg|right|thumb|150px|She may be our only hope]]
*In Hebrew, Michael's name means "''who is like God?''". In a literal way, Sayaka's nature is like Madoka's: a being that exists on a different plane of existence.
*Through the ages, Michael is always armed with a sword (Sayaka's weapon badge).
*Sayaka's last name (Miki) it may be a derivation of the arabic word ''Mikhail''.
*Michael is always portrayed to be the opposite of Lucifer, either for the love of God or conflicts in their ways of thinking; in almost all media published in Madoka Magica series, Sayaka and Homura are shown in conflict with each other, primarily in regard to Madoka' safety.

===Attack on Fandom (Or Fanwork Creators are Evil)===
There have been many accusations that ''Rebellion'' is primarily about pandering to the fanbase. Indeed, much of ''Rebellion'''s story reflects common trends in fandom. However, are they pandering to the fans, or are they parodying them?

Consider that the movie opens with a world common in fanworks ([[Drama_CD_2|and some]] [[Madoka_Magica_Drama_CD_4:_Summer_Magical_Girl_Training_Camp!!|officially published]] [[Puella_Magi_Madoka_Magica_Anthology_1|material]]). The five magical girls are working together without suffering. Kyubey has been rendered harmless. Even Charlotte is there as the second mascot. It is the world depicted and desired by fans.

And it's all an illusion. No matter how many fanworks are made, it doesn't change the events that happen in the original series. They are as illusionary as the world of Homura's witch barrier.

Then there's the end of the movie. Again, it is an ending common in fanworks. Madoka is alive. Sayaka is alive. Even Charlotte has been brought back to life and returned to her human form. And Kyubey is paying for all his crimes. The ending people wanted to see.

But there's a price. It's ''Madoka Magica'', there's always a price. The price is that Homura is now made the villain, and she has trapped the characters in this happy ending against their will. Instead of the joy of witnessing a happy ending, the viewer is made to feel horrified and confused.

One might even consider Homura to be a stand-in for fanwork creators. It is Homura that creates the illusion at the beginning of the movie, and it is Homura that creates the ending where everyone is brought back. It says something that the person who makes fanworks come true is the person that becomes ''the devil itself''. But hey, you got your happy ending, right?

We have found the enemy and it is us. Be careful what you wish for.

===Madoka's Omniscience===
Many viewers have pointed to an apparent plot hole in the movie: Why didn't Madoka foresee Homura's actions if she is an omniscient god? This is in fact a trick the movie pulls on viewers; it expects them to remember that Madoka's omniscience isn't just because she's a god, it's because she's a concept that exists in all of space and time. As Madoka says in episode 12 "''I will be everywhere at every moment from now on"''. In other words, Madoka is omniscient only because she is omnipresent. If something were to interrupt her omnipresence, then she is no longer omniscient.

Indeed, this does happen during ''Rebellion''. Kyubey's Isolation Field specifically blocks Madoka from entering, which means Madoka is not omnipresent anymore. We know the Incubators can see into the Isolation Field, which suggests Madoka can see into it too...but that means she only knows what the Incubators do.

Before we continue, we need to ask if the future of the ''Madoka Magica'' setting is predetermined. In other words, is the future set in stone? If it was predetermined, than Madoka could still know in advance how long the Isolation Field would last and what would happen afterward.

However, there is evidence to suggest that the future is not predetermined in the setting. Certainly Madoka changes the future with her wish, and later tells Homura that she sees all the universes which may one day exist. In ''Rebellion'' itself, Kyubey says Madoka does not exist in the past or in all the possibilities of the future, which suggests that as far as Kyubey knows, the future is not predetermined.

But just because the future is not predetermined doesn't mean you can't know what's going to happen. As an omnipresent concept, Madoka is basically [[wikipedia:Laplace's_demon|Laplace's Demon]]. She knows what is going to happen in the future because she exists everywhere. In other words, she can tell the actual future from a possible one. When Kyubey introduces the Isolation Field, it introduces [[wikipedia:Chaos_Theory|chaos]] into Madoka's perceptions, preventing her from being able to tell which future will actually occur.

To Madoka, the Isolation Field is a little like a [[wikipedia:Schrödinger's_cat|Schrödinger's catbox]]. Until we open the box, we can't tell if the cat will be alive or dead. Similarly, Madoka can't tell what will happen to anything that is inside or enters the Isolation Field, including Homura's Soul Gem, the victims of Homura's barrier, or even the future of Sayaka, Nagisa, and Madoka herself when they are "invited" inside.

Presumably, Madoka could have chosen to ignore Homura's invitation and wait to see if the Incubators would drop the Isolation Field, but Madoka would never abandon anyone, least of all Homura. So she enters Homura's barrier and takes the form of a human.

Since she is in the form of a human, Madoka is not omnipresent even when she enters Homura's barrier. She experiences time the same way the other characters do - linearly. She has no way of knowing what the future will hold, even after she suppresses her own memories and powers. Finally, when the Isolation Field is destroyed, Madoka regains her memories and powers...but she does not return to being an omnipresent and omniscient concept. She is still in the form of a human, which is why the other characters can see her. It's suggested Madoka can't return to being a concept until she deals with Homura's Soul Gem, in accordance with her wish to erase all witches before they are born with her own hands. Madoka has to purify Homura's Soul Gem before she can move onto the next potential witch.

But since Madoka had no way to determine which potential future would actually happen, Homura's actions catch her by surprise. (Not to mention that before the Isolation Field was destroyed, Homura told Madoka that she wanted to be by her side; clearly Madoka thought Homura meant she wanted to be with Madoka forever.)

===AI YO===
Perhaps the most contentious part of the movie is the reveal that Homura's Soul Gem is not tainted by curses, but by love. This comes out of nowhere and appears to contradict the original anime. However, given that ''Rebellion'' is a movie that invites thought, it is not unreasonable to assume that there is an answer hidden in the movie. (For example, while the movie does not say that Kyubey's Isolation Field was blocking Madoka's omniscience, it is logical to conclude that anything that prevents Madoka from existing in all of time of space would interfere with her omniscience.)

Here is a potential explanation for how Homura receives the power of love, one that does not contradict anything that occurred in the anime or movie. This is, admittedly, pure fan wank - but one with support. Consider what happens when Ultimate Madoka comes down to pick up Homura's Soul Gem.

First, Madoka is observable. We know this because Homura, Mami, and Kyoko can all see her. Remember what Kyubey tells Homura - if they can observe the Law of Cycles, which is embodied in Ultimate Madoka, then they can interfere with it, and magical girls will turn into witches once again.

Then, just before Madoka touches Homura's Soul Gem, Homura grabs Madoka's hands. Homura is doing...exactly what it looks like she's doing. She is preventing Madoka from taking her Soul Gem anyway. In other words, Homura is interfering with the Law of Cycles.

At this point, Homura's Soul Gem turns pure black. Darkness begins spilling from it. Obviously, by blocking the Law of Cycles from affecting her Soul Gem, Homura is becoming a witch.

Except she doesn't become a witch. A "color worse than curses" appears inside her Soul Gem. Where did it come from? Why isn't Homura turning into a witch? After all, Kyubey said that if the Law of Cycles is interfered with, magical girls will turn into witches again.

And that's just it. ''What if Kyubey was wrong?''

Remember Madoka's wish? "I wish to erase all witches before they are born...All the witches in all the universes, both past and future...With my own hands!" If a witch was ever born, then Madoka's wish would not come true. Of course Kyubey wouldn't remember Madoka's wish, and it's unclear how much Homura told him about it.

So, even if the Law of Cycles was blocked from reaching a magical girl, the magical girl would still not become a witch. But what happens if it is blocked? If Madoka can't erase a witch before it's born, how can her wish remain true?

If Madoka can't reach a magical girl before they become a witch...then maybe the magical girl becomes something else instead.

A new color fills Homura's Soul Gem, a color that has never appeared in a Soul Gem before. This may be the result of Madoka's wish asserting itself over reality. One might call it an act of self-preservation. Homura then continues to hold on to Madoka, preventing Madoka from moving on to the next potential witch. With Madoka trying to move somewhere else and Homura holding onto her, Madoka is split apart so that her wish can remain true. Homura then creates a barrier that engulfs the universe. Her Soul Gem shatters and reforms into something never seen before. Homura is now a being that has rejected the Law of Cycles, and is possibly empowered by that rejection. Through rejecting hope, she gains the power of love. And by rejecting god, she has become the devil.

As for ''how'' Homura could intefere with the Law of Cycles, it's likely related to her wish to protect Madoka. If Madoka is now a concept, then Homura can only protect Madoka by interfering with said concept.

Homura did mention "love" as an emotion "far passionate than hope, far deeper than despair". Since soul gems are tainted by despair and love is deeper than despair, soul gems should be able to be tainted by love that has desperation. Since Homura's gem is tainted with "love" and not despair, she doesn't turn into a witch but something similar. Thus with Madoka wished to erase witches with her own hands, Madoka would appear before Homura who is turning into something similar to a witch, but won't be able to erase her since what she's turning into is not technically a witch. And you know how warped the contract works.

===On Madoka's Afterlife===
''Rebellion'' actually clarifies the nature of Madoka's afterlife. It's not some separate dimension, ''it's Madoka herself''.

Consider what Madoka does to a Soul Gem in episode 12. She places her hands over a Soul Gem, the corruption inside of it is drained away, and finally the Soul Gem vanishes. ''Rebellion'' makes it clear that the corruption and the Soul Gem does not disappear. Rather, Madoka absorbs them both into herself.

As seen in ''Rebellion'', witches are born from inside the Soul Gem. When Madoka absorbs a Soul Gem's corruption, she is absorbing the unborn witch. Similarly, by absorbing the Soul Gem, she absorbs the magical girl's soul. One might say that the magical girls and witches are now in Madoka's own soul, similar to how Homura's pulled people into her own Soul Gem in ''Rebellion''.

Thus when Madoka entered Homura's barrier, she basically split Sayaka and Nagisa from herself. She also split Oktavia, Charlotte and the familiars from herself too. Technically, Oktavia and Charlotte are now part of Sayaka and Nagisa, the same way that all of them were part of Madoka.

Interestingly, at the end of the movie, Madoka is split from the Law of Cycles. Homura claims that this Madoka is a piece of the Law of Cycles - the part that was Madoka before she became a concept. One could say that in order to escape Homura, the Law of Cycles separated Madoka from itself the same way it split Sayaka and Nagisa from itself. (This would make Madoka an "angel", similar to Sayaka and Nagisa.)

== Trivia ==
[[File:Movies BDs 4koma Rebellion Translation.jpg|right|150px|thumb|]]
*The official title for Homura's new form is Akuma Homura. "Akuma" means "devil" or "demon" as well as being a pun on "Akemi". Fan nicknames include Homucifer, Homulucifer, HomuSatan, Devil Homura, Homurakuma, and Homukami.
*Urobuchi planned a scenario where Homura ascended with Madoka, but was asked by [http://feral-phoenix.livejournal.com/685568.html#| director Shinbo Akiyuki and producer Iwakami Atsuhiro] to come up with an ending that would allow for the continuation of the franchise. A comment by Shinbo that Homura and Madoka could end up as enemies inspired the current ending.
**Contrary to earlier misinformation and rumors, Urobuchi was '''not''' forced by Shinbo to write a different ending, nor that the ending was a last minute change in the script - the discussion and brainstorming for the ending occurred in the early stages of the movie, before Urobuchi had even written the script. That the ending of the movie differed from the first ending Urobuchi suggested is a regular process in early production stages. It is also untrue that Urobuchi disagreed or disliked the ending of the movie - quite the contrary, in fact.

==Criticism==
<blockquote>
''French Interviewer: "Do you have something to say to the French fans who are impatiently waiting for the third movie?"'' 
''Gen Urobuchi: "I think the third movie is going to divide the people, but I'm ready to face the consequences"'' ~ [http://www.wakanim.tv/dossier/16/1/interview-durobuchi-gen-et-de-kosaka-takaki wakanim.tv]
</blockquote>

<blockquote>
''"If the TV version of Madoka Magica was about God and unconditional love, the new film is about the Devil and how love, when taken too far, can turn into hate."'' ~ [http://www.crunchyroll.com/anime-feature/2013/11/10-1/feature-puella-magi-madoka-magica-rebellion-movie-review Ryotaro Aoki, Rebellion movie review, Crunchyroll.]
</blockquote>

One of the main concerns regarding the new ending in "Rebellion" is that Homura's action renders Madoka's sacrifice and message of hope meaningless. The ending from the anime series and the previous film loses its impact and this causes concern among the fans who became emotionally invested on Madoka's message of hope.

Another problem is the devolution of the Homura character, starting from a weakly girl and evolving into a strong magical girl, Homura becomes what many consider to be a strong underdog who overcame many obstacles to protect what she treasures. However, in "Rebellion" we see what appears to be the beginning of the unraveling of the Homura character, we see the fall of a strong magical girl into what it is presumed to be a form of madness.

==Symbolism==
*During the scene where Homura talks to Sayaka, after the latter saves the former from Mami, they come to a 4 way intersection, and stand across from each other. Sayaka is in front of the area that is blue, while Homura is in front of the area that is red. While inbetween them on the other intersection is the color green. The blue likely represents law & order, while the red represents chaos, and the green represents balance between the two. Red, green, and blue are also the colors your eyes use to see, and it could be a representation that Homura wasn't seeing clearly as she was only looking at it from one perspective.

*A pretty obvious one is during the scene where Homura discovers she's a witch, and in the bakcground kids seem to be shouting Homura. It also is referring to fire, which is commonly associated with Satan.

*The blimps likely symbolize Homura's search for the truth, as they start appearing a little before she begins to doubt this world, and more pop up over the course of the movie, until they come crashing down after she discovers the truth. Their color schemes also match Homura's too.

Talk:Homulilly

2014-09-06T03:44:57Z

AntMan9751:

I knew it! My Faust Theory was correct! [[User:SPDUDE48|SPDUDE48]] 17:26, 18 March 2012 (UTC)
== Defeats Walpurgis Night without draining all her MP? ==

Isn't this contradict with the information written in [http://www4.atwiki.jp/madomagi_portable/pages/20.html Madoka Portable Wiki]? (ネタバレ注意　隠しエンド（？） below) --[[User:0x99|0x99]] 17:21, 18 March 2012 (UTC)
:I do not understand how can Homura become a Witch that way... it would make more sense if she drained all her MP... --[[User:Mutopis|Mutopis]] 23:39, 18 March 2012 (UTC)
::Are you referring to the article or Japanese wiki? Japanese wiki state that you have to die in the lowest floor of Walpurgis Night (with Wal's HP gauge, not the beginning of the dungeon) in order to get Homulilly "Game Over" illustration, which make sense. --[[User:0x99|0x99]] 23:49, 18 March 2012 (UTC)
:::Ah, now makes sense. I thought she became a witch without losing alot of MP. I was refering to this ''"If Homura defeats Walpurgis Night without draining all her MP, she will become a witch and cause a Game Over."'', it needs clarification. --[[User:Mutopis|Mutopis]] 23:57, 18 March 2012 (UTC)

==Regarding Name==
Candeloro makes sense for Mami (Italian and the meaning behind it, see the page), Ophelia too (with regards to the Shakespeare speculation)... and several other names that are German and foreign for the witches... but Homulilly? (it feels out of place with the Faustian/German/Other foreign names theme etc.) Couldnt they at least try to find some sort of equivalent that was more subtle at least? I wonder who came up with the name (eyes Hanokage). For Yurifans, this would be marvelous but also would feel like hitting them with a blunt instrument that says "yes, she is that way"... --[[User:Mutopis|Mutopis]] 23:57, 18 March 2012 (UTC)
:I remember seeing speculation on 2ch that it has to do with her being the witch of "this life/world," or "shigan" in Japanese. Shigan is the opposite of higan (nirvana). Higanbana (literally "higan flowers") is the Japanese name for red spider lillies. So maybe they made up a shiganbana, or Homu lilly, as a pun. [[User:Ykm|Ykm]] 00:18, 19 March 2012 (UTC)
::Sounds plausible yet I cannot help to think this is just a clever way to say it without saying it by being blunt about it and clever about it... --[[User:Mutopis|Mutopis]] 06:50, 19 March 2012 (UTC)
:::Clever? This fucking name makes me want to kill babies. If they wanted to go the Japanese theme they could have used actual Japanese, instead they went with a suggestive pun that turns Homura's witch into a giant fucking joke. I was banking on her being walpurgis but to sink this low with creative license is unacceptable. Instead of being interested in why Walpurgis is so important and related to Gretchen if she's not Homura, I just get mad over how they squandered an opportunity to do nothing more than turn a pivotal character into a laughing stock. [[Special:Contributions/75.165.80.183|75.165.80.183]] 10:50, 11 June 2012 (UTC)
::::Really? All the lead about Homura being Walpurgis is almost laughable as [[:File:Ep1 Sayaka Witch.png|Sayaka being Walpurgis]]. --[[User:0x99|0x99]] 01:03, 12 June 2012 (UTC)

Given what's revealed in Rebellion, we now have a good case that -lily actually refers to {{spoiler|Lilith}}. [http://cishet.tumblr.com/post/65623363997/happy-halloween-lets-talk-about-homulily This post] made a convincing argument. - [[User:Prima|Prima]] 19:49, 31 October 2013 (UTC)

==What we think we know so far:==
[[File:Homulilly.png|300px|right|thumb|better image quality]]

*[[:File:Homulilly.jpg|"HOMULILLY"]]: Witch with a disc on the top with infinite sign. Her witch type is {{Nihongo|此岸の魔女|Shigan no Majō}} (or "shigan") which basically means "Witch of Mortal World" (i.e. the opposite of [[wikipedia:Higan|Higan]]). Witch runes below reads "Game Over".
**"Shigan" is the opposite of "Higan" (nirvana). Higanbana (literally "higan flowers") is the Japanese name for [[wikipedia:Lycoris_radiata|red spider lillies]]. So shiganbana, or Homu lilly, could be a pun.
***Lycoris radiata ([[wikipedia:Lycoris_radiata#Uses|red spider lily]]) are very poisonous. These are mostly used in Japan, and they are used to surround their paddies and houses to keep the pest and mice away. That is why most of them grow close to rivers now.
***In Japan the Red Spider Lily signals the arrival of fall. Many Buddhist will use it to celebrate the arrival of fall with a ceremony at the tomb of one of their ancestors. They plant them on graves because it shows a tribute to the dead. People believe that since the Red Spider Lily is mostly associated with death that one should never give a bouquet of these flowers
***[[:file:PSP Photo Icon.jpg|Homulilly's witch kiss]] could reaffirm the Spider Lily connection.
*witch name is literally {{Nihongo|"Homu Yuri"|ほむ百合}}
*[[wikipedia:Lycoris_radiata#Legends|Legend:]]

:Since these scarlet flowers usually bloom near cemeteries around the autumnal equinox, they are described in Chinese and Japanese translations of the [[wikipedia:Lotus_Sutra|Lotus Sutra]] as ominous flowers that grow in [[wikipedia:Diyu|Diyu]] (also known as Hell), or Huángquán (Simplified Chinese: 黄泉; Traditional Chinese: 黃泉), and guide the dead into the next reincarnation. 
:When the flowers of ''lycoris'' bloom, their leaves would have fallen; when their leaves grow, the flowers would have wilted. This habit gave rise to various legends. A famous one is the legend of two elves: Mañju (Simplified Chinese: 曼珠; Traditional Chinese: 曼珠), who guarded the flower, and Saka (Simplified Chinese: 沙华; Traditional Chinese: 沙華), who guarded the leaves. Out of curiosity, they defied their fate of guarding the herb alone, and managed to meet each other. At first sight, they fell in love with each other. [[wikipedia:Amaterasu|Amaterasu]], exasperated by their waywardness, separated the miserable couple, and laid a curse on them as a punishment: the flowers of Mañju shall never meet the leaves of Saka again. It was said that when the couple met after death in Diyu, they vowed to meet each other after reincarnation. However, neither of them could keep their words. In commemoration of the couple, some call the herbs 'Mañjusaka' (Simplified Chinese:曼珠沙华; Traditional Chinese: 曼珠沙華), a mixture of 'Mañju' and 'Saka', instead of their scientific name. The same name is used in Japanese, in which it is pronounced ''manjushage''. 
:Some other legends have it that when you see someone that you may never meet again, these flowers, also called red spider lilies, would bloom along the path. Perhaps because of these sorrowful legends, Japanese people often used these flowers in funerals. The popular Japanese name {{nihongo|''Higanbana''|彼岸花|Higan bana}} for lycoris radiata literally means [[wikipedia:higan|higan]] (the other or that shore of [[wikipedia:Sanzu_River|Sanzu River]]) flower, decorate and enjoyable, flower of afterlife in {{nihongo|''gokuraku jyōdo''|極楽浄土|gokuraku jyōdo}}. 

*Design: (please, add anything you may notice)...--[[User:Mutopis|Mutopis]] 09:46, 22 March 2012 (UTC)
:If you notice, the sides have a curb shape like an hourglass and the grey/white dots could be sand.
:The top part looks like an old vinyl record, the stylus has an odd shape. If you think about it, it almost makes it look like a stereotypical witches' hat.
::It's a record. Records are known for what when broken? Constant repetition of the same warped sounds, when they break. What happened in Homura's life to cause her such grief? Constant repetition of the same horrific events, when she resets. it seems like Homulilly's theme is an inability to escape the sequence of events in PMMM ('witch of this world' = 'unable to move on from horrible events'?). What with the infinity symbol, the scratched record, etc. [[User:Doctor Bad Ideas|Doctor Bad Ideas]] 23:05, 14 May 2012 (UTC)
:Under the vinyl record, what looks like hair or pig tails, could be moemura's pigtails.
::Plus, there appears to be what looks like a chin right under the record, making her look like a classic Witch.
:The section where the braided parts meet, there is something like red sticks.
::These sticks could be knitting needles, held by hands formed by the ends of her pigtails.
:Under the red stick, the hair forms the shape of what that looks like the number eight or the infinite symbol.
::If you think about it, it almost looks like an hourglass shape too...

*Infinite Symbol:
**While it could be a reference to Homura's time reset, it could have some connection to the [[wikipedia:Steady_State_theory|Steady State Theory]] (aka Infinite Universe).
***The Theory is a model developed as an alternative to the Big Bang Theory, the idea is that the universe is not only infinite, but the issue of entropy is of little consequence as new matter is created to solve the problem. While the Big Bang Theory suggests that not only does the universe has a beginning, but as it expands it will reach to an end (among many theories, [[wikipedia:Ultimate_fate_of_the_universe#Big_Freeze_or_heat_death|entropy plays a role in it]]):

:::"In 1948, some cosmologists who were unhappy with the big bang proposed a radical new model of the universe, based on the idea that the universe was not only homogenous in space (a fundamental concept in most models of the universe) but in time. This means, as the universe expands and galaxies separate, new galaxies form to fill the gaps created.

:::This theory appealed to many, as it had none of the problems associated with the big bang - what preceded it, what caused it, and so forth. Furthermore, it explained most of the effects that the big bang did - the red-shift is explained by the expansion, the background radiation is the light from former stars red-shifted. Furthermore, the theory requires only a minor modification in the laws of relativity, and the rate of matter creation is too low to be observable in any case.

:::Observational evidence proved to be the undoing of the steady state theory. The number of quasars increases when looking back into the past, violating the perfect cosmological principle. Furthermore, as time is infinite, another intelligent species should already have colonized the observable universe, which is obviously not the case.

:::In terms of thermodynamics, the steady state theory resolves some problems and generates others. It allows the universe to have existed for an infinite time, because as entropy increases, more matter appears which increases the order again - the new matter is an inexhaustible supply of negative entropy. In the same way, this balancing of entropy with new matter could be the very reason for space's expansion.

:::However, the steady state theory breaks both [[wikipedia:First_law_of_thermodynamics|the first]] and [[wikipedia:Second_law_of_thermodynamics|second law of thermodynamics]] with the matter increases, although novel ways around the problem have been suggested - for example, the universe could be like a massive black hole, which absorbs extra matter when it expands. Even so, though, the matter increase is, to my mind, too small to balance the entropy increases caused by, for example, the stars burning.

:::The steady state theory flourished in the sixties, but today, few people believe it."[http://www.chiark.greenend.org.uk/~sbleas/creative/entropy/#11]

:The bottom part of the witch's cape stretches down and connects to the pink orb in the hourglass-like shape in the background. It's unclear whether it's extending out of the hourglass or getting pulled in, as if by a black hole.
::A matching pink orb is in the top half of the hourglass. Like the bottom part of her cape, Homulilly's hat extends upward toward it; however, it then bends back down and doesn't reach the orb. This may represent Homura repeatedly resetting time and being unable to move on from the "mortal world".
:::The halves of the hourglass may represent separate universes, and the points of light inside of them representing stars.

:Two shapes resembling bat wings can be seen behind the "HOMULILLY" runes. These may either extend out of Homulilly's cape or be part of the hourglass's top half. --[[User:Neuchadjinys|Neuchadjinys]] 18:42, 22 March 2012 (UTC)

*Clara dolls and Witches artwork
:About the translated description of Clara Dolls. 色 and 空 may not only mean the colors and the sky, but also Buddhist words. 色 means all existence of the world and 空 means a essence of all the non-existence (Roughly speaking, 空 in Buddhism is like a state free from obsession or emotion) ,in Heart Sutra,which is the popular Buddhist-sutra in Japan. Then I think the translation of their own introduction is "We are born from colors of the existence, and never reach to skies of the emptiness, The depths of this world are our own stage." or "We are born from emotional existence, and are never free from emotion, The depths of this world are our own stage."[[User:Whitewind|Whitewind]] 13:27, 16 December 2013 (UTC)

==Speculations==
Regarding the speculation where it mentioned Homura did not use time magic a lot and so she did not have much sand on the other side. Perhaps what Homura noticed is that the hourglass that contain the sand was broken and she no longer can use the magic to reverse the time any more. Thus, her despair took over and she turned into a witch. [[User:Demonicslayer|Demonicslayer]] 17:39, 19 March 2012 (UTC)
:That makes sense, in the anime Homura uses the reverse magic when she runs out of sand or when she still has left. It would be strange if she couldnt unless the hourlass was broken... --[[User:Mutopis|Mutopis]] 23:53, 19 March 2012 (UTC)

This reminds me, is there any evidence regarding "witch name is literally "Homu Yuri" (ほむ百合)"?? --[[User:Mutopis|Mutopis]] 07:35, 24 March 2012 (UTC)
:Not really, it was a joke. There's not much behind it beside ''Yuri'' means ''Lily''. Also I don't think her hourglass works that way (cite: Otona Anime interview, IIRC) --[[User:0x99|0x99]] 07:37, 24 March 2012 (UTC)
:: Is that interview translated or something so we can link it to the page? --[[User:Mutopis|Mutopis]] 09:22, 24 March 2012 (UTC)
:::Hmm, I can't seems to find it but IIRC Urobuchi said no matter how much sand left Homu will return to the beginning on the bed at the hospital. Let's see if I can still find the source for it... --[[User:0x99|0x99]] 09:57, 24 March 2012 (UTC)
::I could see it being a dual pun to both the spider lilly and yuri, since the lilly is so commonly associated with yuri in Japan. The fact they used Homura's nickname "Homu" fits the feeling that the name was made a bit jokingly. --[[User:Randomanon|randomanon]] 09:45, 24 March 2012 (UTC)
:::It's also worth nothing that Inukare were the one who nicknamed Homura "Homuhomu" --[[User:0x99|0x99]] 09:57, 24 March 2012 (UTC)

==Grief Seed==
Does anyone know if they made an artwork version of Homura's grief seed? It makes no sense that made her witch form but nothing about her grief seed... --[[User:Mutopis|Mutopis]] 23:54, 19 March 2012 (UTC)
:None as far as I can find. The Homulilly illustration in the game is slightly larger (longer) than the one in special DVD (camera panning to the same view area as gallery) but I doubt it is anything related to her Grief Seed. --[[User:0x99|0x99]] 01:07, 20 March 2012 (UTC)

:::Wasn't her Grief Seed technically shown in Episode 11?

"Lilith or Lilitu.

This legend is where the first record of vampirism supposedly comes from. '''She is depicted as a half woman, half snake being, called a Lamia'''. The earliest inscription of Lilith is in the epic poem of Gilgamesh, around 2000 BCE. Some say she is the mother of all demons. Through history her role in various religions has changed."

==Homulilly in the new Madoka Magica movie (SPOILERS)==

Warning; some spoilers for those who haven't seen it yet.

.
.
.
.

Alright, first off, this isn't pointless speculation, but an observation. So while watching Madoka Magica: The Rebellion Story, I was just being a good fan and all, translating every single little Witch Rune sentence that came my way, [http://oi42.tinypic.com/28bqkp0.jpg and then I came across this] (not sure how to upload it to the site).

I've been hearing a lot about how Homura's Witch in the movie is different from the PSP game, which is true, but they also said it wasn't 'Homulilly'. Yet, if you look at the above and translate the bottom line from Witch Runes, it spells out 'HOMU LILLY', confirming that this is in fact the same Witch (only with a different appearance, similar to Kriemhild Gretchen's situation). Since the upper word is a little too creatively-done, I haven't been able to translate it, though judging by the first few letters, it might spell out 'HOMURA'. If it isn't, then it's possible that
this is some kind of Nega-Homulilly and thus should be placed on a separate page.

...In any case, at least it confirms that the Witch seen in Rebellion is a VERSION of the Homulilly we're familiar with.

[[User:Merciful|Merciful]] 13:19, 26 November 2013 (UTC)

: Yeah, I'm assuming that Homulilly's appearance and "function," so to speak, changed because the circumstances of her witching out were different in Rebellion than they were in Portable. In Portable she succumbed to despair because she couldn't save Madoka, in Rebellion she succumbed to despair because she DID save Madoka (in a manner of speaking), and realized that she still couldn't have her, resulting in a love-obsessed witch. The fact that Oktavia von Seckendorff and Sayaka's situation are somewhat different across different timelines pretty much confirms this. Either way they're probably the same witch, different location and circumstances. [[User:Spicyjade|Spicyjade]] 19:32, 29 December 2013 (UTC)

==Time resonance made her powerful==

Just as Kriemhild Gretchen started out as a small witch but grew to immense power as timelines pilled up, the absense of Madoka in the universe started to pile up causality behind Homura instead and thus her witch's power and form grew tremendously.

The Homulilly we see in the movie has power comparable to Walpurgis Night if not more as she could consume an entire city in her barrier or even haze it down completely as her armada of familiars (which included no less than 14 magical girl level ones) can attest.

As such, it can be said that Homura's eventual transcendence into godhood was in the making but when Madoka arrived with her own connection to every universe related to witches/magical girls, Homura just jury rigged the process by tearing off Madoka from her throne and taking over her place. --[[User:Derp101(3)|Derp101(3)]] 22:33, 17 February 2014 (UTC)

== Clara Dolls appearances ==

http://tieba.baidu.com/p/2989885225 (Chinese) - [[User:Prima|Prima]] 14:53, 17 April 2014 (UTC)

== Hat numbers ==

I noticed that a string of numbers reading EV-257-128-5 appears twice on the rim of Homulilly's hat/record in The Rebellion Story. Does this sequence have any significance? -[[user:AntMan9751|ANTHONY]] 03:44, 6 September 2014 (UTC)

{{Nihongo|'''Yuuri'''|ユウリ}} is an enigmatic character appearing in [[Puella Magi Kazumi Magica: The Innocent Malice]].

A magical girl with a mysterious past, she repeatedly clashes with members of the [[Pleiades Saints]]. [[Kazumi]] is her primary target.

==Personality==

Her life is consumed by a single objective: revenge. Due to the death of her friend, she developed a great animosity towards the Pleiades Saints and now lives to exact vengeance on them. She is ruthless, not only fighting the Pleiades directly, but in also spawning pseudo-witches from innocent humans. They not only attack the Pleiades but also other humans, thus leaving a trail of blood in her path of retribution.

She has a particular interest in Kazumi, as she believes hurting Kazumi will hurt the Pleiades the most.

==History==

Yuuri has so far only appeared in Kazumi Magica. ''See [[Airi#History|"Airi's History"]] for her history before she became Yuuri.''

[[File:Corno Forte.png|right|thumb|300px|Cole, Yuuri's giant bull, summoned by ''Corno Forte''.]][[File:Kazumi at gunpoint.png|thumb|300px|Yuuri holding Kazumi at gunpoint.]]

Yuuri first appears in Chapter 1, having kidnapped and locked Kazumi away in a briefcase. (Chapter 18 implies that this was doing this on behalf of [[Kanna Hijiri]]) She accidentally exchanges the briefcase with a would-be-bomber carrying a similar one. Realizing her mistake, she called the bomber to arrange an exchange at a local mall, threatening to call the police on him. The bomber showed up and picked up the bomb (left behind a pillar), but the police appeared nonetheless: it is likely she planned to use the unexpected event to eliminate everyone. The bomb is activated, but eventually explodes harmlessly. This is to her own surprise, as she was sure it was a real bomb.

She is briefly seen twice in Chapter 2. The first time is after Kazumi collapses after defeating the first pseudo-witch and Umika picks up the Evil Nut left behind. It is implied that she was watching the whole battle, as she is looking very annoyed. She is later seen accompanying another pseudo-witch. When Kazumi, [[Kaoru]] and [[Umika]] arrive she wordlessly escapes before the battle ensues. The pseudo-witch is eventually defeated.

In Chapter 3, while the Pleiades Saints are searching for Kaoru and Umika, she disguises herself as Satomi, one of the Saints. She then is able to lure Kazumi away from her teammates, at which point she reveals herself and attacks her. Kazumi attempts to fight back, but is completely overwhelmed. At the last moment, the remaining Pleiades come to her rescue. Yuuri holds Kazumi at gunpoint, making them hesitate, but after Kazumi reassures them they fire a powerful attack at her, ''Figli Del Toano''. Yuuri is forced to flee.

In Chapter 4, after the Pleiades rescue Kaoru and Umika, she takes advantage of her celebration and incapacitates them with a large explosion and several arrow strikes. She escapes with Kazumi and leaves a message embedded in one of the arrows ordering the Pleiades to appear at Asunaro Dome at midnight. While fleeing, Kazumi wakes up and pins her down. This triggers a flashback of another girl, at which point Yuuri, visibly disturbed, ties up Kazumi completely.

The Pleiades meet at Umika's house, agreeing to go to Kazumi's rescue despite their wounds. Umika wondered why Yuuri left a message instead of telling them her intentions directly, while Niko states that the mysterious girl is near her limit. At the dome, Yuuri reveals her diabolical plan: to embed Kazumi with an Evil Nut, an "imitation" [[Grief Seed]] which can turn an individual into a pseudo-witch. She admits to have done the same to the policewoman and the cosmetics salesman, the two previous pseudo-witches.
 She sadistically enjoys the Pleiades' screams of pain and anger. In desperation, Kazumi asks why Yuuri's is doing all these, saying that magical girls are supposed to be "comrades". This causes Yuuri to explode in rage, screaming at Kazumi and insinuating that the Pleiades have a dark secret. When asked Satomi asks why she has such a grudge, Yuuri removes her hat. Stating that they did not recognize her by her name or message, Yuuri says she was "insignificant to you girls". Seeing her face, a shocked Umika recognizes her, but before any of them can say anything, Yuuri screams that she "came back in order to seek vengeance" against the Pleiades, and shoves an Evil Nut into Kazumi's forehead.

However, the Evil Nut actually empowers Kazumi, and she fights Yuuri again. The villainous magical girl still has the upper hand, pinning Kazumi on the floor. She then claims that she was killed by the Pleiades, and that they were a gang that kills magical girls. She targeted Kazumi because she believed Kazumi was the most important thing to the Pleaides, and she wanted to take Kazumi away just as they took away her most important thing. As she attacks, her Soul Gem begins to crack. [[Saki Asami|Saki]] sends [[Jubey]] to try and clean Yuuri's Soul Gem, but she shoots him first. Her Soul Gem then becomes a Grief Seed and she transforms into a witch.

As a witch, Yuuri sticks the Pleiades Saints on crosses. Vines then crawl over the Saints, causing them enormous pain. The Pleiades are then shown a vision of her past. Kazumi falls under the influence of the Evil Nut and breaks free from her bonds, fighting the witch. However, she quickly returns to normal and attempts to change Yuuri back with her magic. The result is horrific: In a flash of light Yuuri's twisted body appears to grow out from the witch. Speaking entirely [[Runes:Kazumi_Magica| in runes]], she tries to use the last spell she used on Kazumi. At this point, Saki shoots her, freeing the Pleiades.

One by one, the Pleaides attack the witch as Kazumi begs them to stop. They explain that they all they can do is stop the witch from hurting anyone, and Kazumi won't have to dirty her hands. Finally, Kazumi decides to share the burden with her friends and delivers the final shot to the witch. Just before she dies, she speaks Yuuri's name.

==Witch Form==
<blockquote>''"{{Runes|YUURI}}"'' ~ Yuuri, Chapter 6.</blockquote>
Yuuri/Airi's witch form resembles a giant heart and is named "Nie Blühen Herzen", German for "never-blooming hearts", which [[Yuri_undertones| may have certain implications]]. The rings on Yuuri's weaponry also appear on the witch.

When Kazumi attempts to turn Yuuri back to a human, it causes Yuuri's body to rise out from the witch, while still being connected to it. She appears to have almost no sense of self left, continuously repeating the last spell she used on Kazumi. Notably, her speech bubbles use the [[Deciphering_the_runes| runic language]].

In volume 2's design notes, the witch is described by the illustrator, Takashi Tensugi as, "A wounding heart and a wounded heart. Her defibrillators resemble twintails. Her image is based on sickly Airi, who lingered on and was revived. Her familiars are flower bulbs. Did she think of herself as being rooted to the hospital? Attribute: Self-rejection. Weak point: Poison in medicine. Her cries of 'pchh pchh' are the angry pulsing of her blood vessels."

==Powers, Weapons & Abilities==
[[File:Yuuri hat off.png|300px|thumb|Yuuri revealing her face.]]
Yuuri has demonstrated a wide array of abilities, perhaps more than any character in the ''Puella Magi'' franchise.

Her primary means of attack is ''Corno Forte'' (English: ''Strong Horn''), which summons a giant bull, named "Cole". It possesses two wing-shaped horns and a nose ring, and is capable of powerful, fast charges. Cole is quite agile: it can jump around town at Yuuri's side and even stand atop power cables.

However, that is not her only ability. She is also able to summon various close-range firearms, such as submachine guns and pistols. In contrast with [[Homura]] from the main series, her weapons are of a magical nature. In particular, the SMG's bullets have binding properties (similar to [[Mami]]'s muskets), summoning shackles on impact and making the target a sitting duck for Cole's charge.
She is also able to fire large arrows from her pistols. The fletchings of the arrows can be used by her to store messages, that appear as ghastly holograms when the arrow is removed from where it struck.
She has a spell called, ''Il Triangolo'' ('The Triangle'), an attack spell.

In chapter 4, she caused a large explosion which disabled most of the Pleiades. How this was done is unknown, but a "beep" sound was audible beforehand, and a magic circle was faintly visible on the ground. A similar magic circle was visible as the Pleiades arrived in the Asunaro Dome, before the baseball field was replaced by a large dais.

Force barriers are also part of her abilities. She was able to isolate Kazumi inside one at Asunaro Dome, and despite their desperate attempts, none of the Pleiades were able to break it. These barriers damage anyone who touches them.

Outside of battle, she is also able to disguise herself as other people, having used this power to isolate Kazumi from the group by disguising herself as Satomi. The disguises are perfectly accurate, and she was even able to emulate Satomi's typical speech patterns (overuse of the -chan honorific). However, she does not appear able to use her other powers while disguised as she broke it to engage in battle. This power is likely derived from her wish, which was to become another person.

However, her most terrifying asset is the ability to use Evil Nuts, objects that imitate the power of Grief Seeds, and turn common humans into pseudo-witches. The humans embedded with them appear to maintain some level of control, as they are able to stay in human form and transform into witches at will. It is likely Yuuri has some way of controlling them, however.

==Trivia==

* Her pistol and submachine gun's magazines possess a ring on the outer end, similar to Cole's nose ring. The pistol she holds Kazumi at gunpoint with has two smaller rings inside the larger ring.
**According to a design sketch included in volume 2, her handgun is named Revenger.
* It's easy to miss, but Yuuri wears a spoon around her neck. Chapter 5 revealed it's importance to her.
* Although there were unusual circumstances, Yuuri's witch form is technically the first instance in the franchise of the runic language being spoken aloud.
* It is ironic that just as Yuuri's magic was trying to turn Kazumi into a pseudo-witch, Kazumi's magic was trying to turn Yuuri into a pseudo-magical girl.
* Chapter 7 indicates that Yuuri did not erase Kazumi's memories, as they would have returned to Kazumi when she died. Curiously, the Evil Nuts did not vanish when she died - they still remained active even when Yuuri became a witch.
* Yuuri's outfit as a magical girl has the same color scheme and general aesthetic as [[Yuuri Asuka|the original Yuuri's]] (though it's far more revealing). This can be seen in bonus artwork from Kazumi Magica volume 2.
** Her Soul Gem is amber-colored, also visible in said artwork.

==Speculation==
{{spoilers|media=anime|episode=8}}
=== Current Speculation ===
* While she uses them, it is unknown if Yuuri actually creates Evil Nuts. Given their huge power, it is possible she is obtaining them from a third party.
** In Chapter 8, [[Ayase Souju]] suddenly pulls out Evil Nuts, despite the fact that they should have vanished when Yuuri died. Even in Chapter 6, the Evil Nut still activated even when she became a witch (which would have caused them to vanish). It's possible that the Evil Nuts didn't vanish when Yuuri died because of their powerful magic and that Yuuri may have given them to Ayase somehow. However, the third-party theory is very likely - especially since it's implied Kazumi has some sort of connection to the pseudo-witches.
* The fact that Kazumi's ahoge can track pseudo-witches, but not normal witches, hints at some sort of close relationship between her and Yuuri, or at least the pseudo-witches.
** Additionally, both girls' magical girl outfits are revealing and sport a large witch hat, which strengthens the theory.

=== Past Speculation ===
* Yuuri holds a grudge against the Pleiades from their shared past, though the girls appear to have no recollection of her until Umika recognizes her face. This past is apparently a very troubled one, and Yuuri believed she was being thought of as "insignificant". Note that Yuuri indicated that her name and the mysterious ghastly letter she sent was somehow related to her identity.
** The arrow that Yuuri used could also be a clue.
*** A possible explanation was that she was abandoned or left for dead by the Pleiades in some situation. However, she survived, and now seeks revenge.
** This speculation has been semi-confirmed to be true.
* Despite being named after the Seven Sisters of Greek mythology, Sterope, Merope, Electra, Maia, Taygeta, Celaeno, and Alcyone are only part of the nine brightest stars in the cluster. The other two stars are named after their parents, Atlas and Pleione. Given that the current roster of the Saints is composed of seven members, it is speculated that two of them are missing. Since Niko states they are named after the seven sisters, it leaves those two members as the "parents", or the most important (or senior) members of the team. It is likely those two are Yuuri, who has a past connection to the group, and the mysterious girl in Yuuri's flashbacks, who seemed to be a friend of hers.
** This speculation has been proven false.
* Niko mentions that Yuuri is "at her limit" and implies that something bad will happen to Yuuri if she uses any more magic. Based off the way she is acting, it's very likely Yuuri's Soul Gem is almost fully corrupted, and that she will soon become a witch.
** This speculation became true.
* The fact that Yuuri holds a gun to Kazumi's head might imply that Yuuri doesn't know that Soul Gems are actually magical girls' souls. It's also possible that she's unaware witches come from magical girls.
** It's possible that Airi/Yuuri doesn't know about Soul Gems. However, she does know that magical girls become witches, but her poor sanity prevents her from fully understanding it.
* Despite her constant attacks on Kazumi, [[Saki Asami|Saki]] seems to be the Pleiad Yuuri hates the most. Both of their short conversations ended in one of them yelling. First, Saki accuses Yuuri of being a coward for using Kazumi as a human shield, to which Yuuri responds "Look who's talking!" Later, Saki violently tells her to shut up when asked if Kazumi was "the person you don't want to show your filthy hands to", the meaning of which is still a mystery.
** It seems that Yuuri merely believed that Saki was the leader of the Pleiades.
** Yuuri could have been referring to the Pleiades seizing the Soul Gems of magical girls. She may have been following them around and seen them doing it. To an observer, it might seem that the Pleiades were killing their targets which would further strengthen Yuuri's belief of the Pleiades as magical girl hunters.

Kriemhild Gretchen

2014-07-05T02:04:08Z

AntMan9751: /* Observations and speculation */ Incorrect information and not relevant to Kriemhild Gretchen

__NOTOC__
'''Kriemhild Gretchen''' ({{Runes|KRIEMHILD•GRETCHEN}}) is the [[witch]] form of [[Madoka Kaname]]. She appears in second and fourth timelines of [[Episode 10]]; a witch form of Madoka (whether she can be considered Kriemhild is up for debate) also appears in [[episode 12]].

In the second timeline, her formation involves thunderclouds coalescing initially into a giant humanoid and then she seems to form a mountain-like being.

In the fourth timeline, she is shown as a giant creature, actually the size of a mountain. Her name was not shown at all during initial broadcast, but was added in the fourth timeline in a webcast version one week later. According to [[Kyubey]], strength of this incarnation of hers is of such a magnitude that she could obliterate the planet within ten days.

Her appearance in both timelines is essentially identical (if one looks closely at her fourth timeline appearance, they will see the head at the top of the shadow between the outstretched arms), though in the second timeline only her head was really shown at all, with the body still forming.

In episode 12, Madoka's all-powerful witch form, who may or may not be considered another form of Kriemhild Gretchen, appears at the end of the universe, born from all the grief Madoka had shouldered from the magical girls she had saved, due to her supremely hopeful wish. She inhabits a comet-sized grief seed and, unlike the second and fourth timelines' versions of Kriemhild, has a fully-shown face (although the left half is either blank or covered in shadow); her head is sun disc-shaped, her open mouth resembles the moon, and her right eye resembles the earth. She is slain by the "goddess" form of Madoka before she can consume the earth.

}}

==Observations and speculation==
* In Episode 1, shortly after the runic text reading "Prologue in Heaven", we see the upside-down form of a giant shadow above Walpurgis Night's spell circle (the symbols seen behind Walpurgis Night). Based off her appearance and her desire to create "heaven", it can only be concluded that this shadow is Kriemhild Gretchen.
* In [[Wikipedia:Goethe's_Faust|Goethe's]] ''[[Speculah:Madoka_Magica_and_Faust|Faust]]'', Gretchen, also known as Margarete, was the name of Faust's lover. She dies at the end of Part 1 of ''Faust'', but returns at the end of Part 2 as a Pentinent in heaven. She is allowed to lead Faust's soul into heaven's higher spheres.
**Some studies suggest that Faust refers to the girl as Margarete (meaning ''pearl'') at the beginning because of her purity and innocence, and changes to the diminutive Gretchen after their intercourse, to point out her spoiled purity. In the same way, the fact that this witch is named Gretchen, rather than Margarete, could represent the corruption of Madoka's soul.
* [[Wikipedia: Gudrun|Kriemhild]], also known as Gudrun, is a figure from Norse Mythology. She is an important character in the epic poem ''[[Wikipedia: Nibelungenlied|Nibelungenlied]]''. Note also that [http://www.behindthename.com/name/kriemhild Kriemhild comes from the German words] for [[Speculah:Ending_Analysis|"mask"]] and "battle".
* Some have come to believe that the mask shown at the end of the ending credits is actually Kriemhild's face, considering "Kriemhild"'s meaning of "battle mask".
**In the Madoka Magica Online game an accessory named "Faust's Masked"　(ファソトマスク) appeared for a limited time. The mask is halved, like Ultimate Kremhild's, and can be equipped to any Magical Girl's face.
* Kriemhild Gretchen's appearance as a giant shadow may be based off the phenomenon known as a [[Wikipedia: Brocken_spectre|Brocken spectre]]. In both German folklore and Goethe's ''Faust'', [[Wikipedia: Walpurgis_Night|Walpurgis Night]] occurred on the [[Wikipedia: Brocken|Brocken]], a mountain peak in Germany. The conditions on the Brocken often cause Brocken spectres, which are magnified shadows of climbers being projected onto mist or clouds. Kriemhild Gretchen appears after the witch known as [[Speculah: Walpurgis Night|Walpurgis Night]] is defeated. If this is true, it's also possible that Kriemhild is not as large as she appears.
*''[http://gedichte.xbib.de/Goethe_gedicht_Meine+G%F6ttin.htm Meine Göttin]'' ("My Goddess"), also a poem written by Goethe on 15 September 1780 and sent at once to Charlotte von Stein. It was first published in 1789 in Goethes Schriften. Written in hymnic form, the poem is a panegyric of the poetic imagination.
* Kriemhild can only be defeated if the world is rid of all misfortune within the ten days it will take for her to destroy it. This could mean that the only feasible way of defeating her is by having a girl become a magical girl with the wish to rid the world of misfortune (or, alternately, to just kill Kriemhild outright -- which would probably make the new magical girl a witch even more powerful than Kriemhild herself).
* Since she rids the world of misfortune herself in given time that means the witch might just die out once her job is done and all the Incubators would have to do is pick up her huge grief seed afterwards.
* It's probable that when Kyubey says Kriemhild will "destroy the planet" he simply means that Kriemhild's barrier will grow to encompass it or that she will wipe out all life on it in favor of her dream world barrier. In the event the latter were the case, Kriemheld could be likened to the biblical Apocalypse. All sinners (misfortune) are destroyed before paradise itself (the witch's barrier) settles on Earth for those still alive.
* {{spoiler|In [[Episode 12]], Madoka, upon absorbing all the grief of fellow magical girls, transforms into an "ultimate witch" (see picture below). The name of this witch is not known and her appearance is also substantially different - however, her actions correspond well to the description on this card - she was born from all the grief of the world, and is defeated by rewriting the rules of the universe.}}
* Some fans have noticed that Kriemhild Gretchen's silhouette resembles an onion.
* Kriemhild's Grief Seed has a symbol that resembles [[Astronomy|a shooting star]]. Shooting stars are associated with wishes.
* [[NewType_2011-07#InuCurry_.28bewitched_space_design.29_and_Yukihiro_Miyamoto_.28series_director.29|According to witch animator and designer InuCurry]], Walpurgis Night's and Kriemhild Gretchen's silhouettes are supposed to make a pair. The significance of this is unknown.
** [[Puella_Magi_Production_Note#Kriemhild_Gretchen.2C_Timeline_2_Version|Puella Magi Production Note]] further reveals that Kriemhild Gretchen is meant to look like the lower half of a sand timer, while Walpurgis Night looks like the upper half. Interestingly, [[NewType_2011-05#Homura.27s_shield|Homura's shield has also been described as a sand timer]].
***In some observations, it is said that Gretchen is the other half to Walpurgis. And if combined, they form a shape similar to a hourglass. And from fan speculation about Walpurgis being Homura's witch, and Gretchen being Madoka's, it is said that the combination of the two witches create a symbolic image of both the heroine's fates.
***Homura's witch form has been revealed as [[Homulilly]].

==Kriemhild Gretchen in the [[Madoka Magica Portable]] Game==
In addition to her ribbon, Kriemhild Gretchen's grief seed is shown with black wings in the Kyoko route. It's also shown with black wings for the witch kiss available in the PSP custom themes available with the limited edition version of the game. Art from Inu Curry's special gallery game bonus reveals another depiction of the grief seed and the interior of the Kriemhild Gretchen, otherwise known as the Witch of Salvation.

Now good luck identifying them all... the only one we can be certain is that the second from the left is Elly. [[User:BrickBreak|BrickBreak]] 20:00, 22 April 2011 (UTC)
: I'm willing to bet that the fourth from the left is Charlotte (her pigtails resemble the witch's "candy-wrapper" ears), but let's hope that the main website attaches the silhouettes with the witches. [[User:Momoism|Momoism]] 20:18, 22 April 2011 (UTC)
: Fifth from left is Elsa Maria, I think. Just going off the hair style. [[Special:Contributions/90.227.151.181|90.227.151.181]] 20:54, 22 April 2011 (UTC)
:: I added that the third from the left might be Gisela (her curved hairstyle resembles her Witch's Kiss), but we can't tell exactly ''which'' witches from the series appear here. There are only ten unidentified magical girls in the screencap, whereas nine witches (not including Oktavia and Kriemhild) appeared in the show and three more were given informational cards. [[User:Momoism|Momoism]] 21:30, 22 April 2011 (UTC)

* [http://i187.photobucket.com/albums/x314/MsDevin92/MyGuess.png?t=1303524012] My interpretation. Here's the "logic" (for the not-shown witches, I tried connecting them to familiars, and admittedly Elsa Maria's justification is that I drew her similarly): [http://i187.photobucket.com/albums/x314/MsDevin92/MyElsa.png?t=1303524059] [http://i187.photobucket.com/albums/x314/MsDevin92/MyElly.png?t=1303524152] [http://i187.photobucket.com/albums/x314/MsDevin92/IDK1.png?t=1303524194]/[http://i187.photobucket.com/albums/x314/MsDevin92/IDK2.png?t=1303524194]/[http://i187.photobucket.com/albums/x314/MsDevin92/IDK3.png?t=1303524195] [http://i187.photobucket.com/albums/x314/MsDevin92/MyCharlotte.png?t=1303524255] [http://i187.photobucket.com/albums/x314/MsDevin92/MyGertrud.png?t=1303524261] [http://i187.photobucket.com/albums/x314/MsDevin92/MyWalpurgis.png?t=1303524323] [http://i187.photobucket.com/albums/x314/MsDevin92/MyUrhmann.png?t=1303524325] [http://i187.photobucket.com/albums/x314/MsDevin92/MyAlbertine.png?t=1303524328] [http://i187.photobucket.com/albums/x314/MsDevin92/MyPatricia.png?t=1303524333] [http://i187.photobucket.com/albums/x314/MsDevin92/MyGisela.png?t=1303524335] [[User:MsDevin92|MsDevin92]] 02:06, 23 April 2011 (UTC)
** Also, I think it's notable that the silhouettes in Episode 11 appeared to be serving Walpurgisnacht. Their shiny appearance sort of resembled corrupted Soul Gems. Does Walpurgis turn the shadows of doomed Puella Magi into her familiars? Does she get more power for each defeated witch? [[User:MsDevin92|MsDevin92]] 04:00, 23 April 2011 (UTC)

I will state the obvious here because I felt it was needed: There are only 10 unidentified figures, while there are twelve unidentified witches. Three witches weren't shown in the anime, so it might be two of them, or that it's actually all three of them and we have an extra figure that never appeared in the anime. The fact that the figure on the left is cut off might indicate that there are more figures on the left side. -- [[User:Universalperson|Universalperson]] 01:01, 28 April 2011 (UTC)
:The fact that there's two an not three missing makes it kind of a gamble. But I agree with you, there should be more to the left: I guess we'll have to wait for Word of God/Blu-Ray/alternative airing to see the whole picture. [[User:BrickBreak|BrickBreak]] 01:05, 28 April 2011 (UTC)

A comparison chart showing one of the silhouettes with the matching Walpurgis familiar, and Charlotte, who has a nose the same shape as the silhouette's tail, similar hair, and a resemblance to the wand. [[User:KM|KM]] 20:10, 19 May 2011 (UTC)

I made some image compilations on my opinion as to which witch matches which silhouette. Here they are: [http://img26.imageshack.us/img26/7020/suleikaspecula.png] [http://img827.imageshack.us/img827/3523/izabelspecula.png] [http://img29.imageshack.us/img29/9529/gertrudspecula.png] [http://img98.imageshack.us/img98/543/elsamariaspeculah.png] [http://img3.imageshack.us/img3/5928/albertinespeculah.png] [http://img847.imageshack.us/img847/1265/walpurgisspeculah.png] [http://img713.imageshack.us/img713/7774/miscspecula.png] -they are in no particular order. And I agree with the above user about Charlotte's possible Puella Magi form. That's very strong visual evidence, so I decided not to make a compilation for Charlotte. [[User:ViralJuggernaut|ViralJuggernaut]] 7:12, 14 June 2011 (UTC)
[[File:GertrudPaintingsCloseup.PNG|left|thumb|200px]]I like those Albertine, Suleika, and Izabel ones. Here's closeups of Gertrud's paintings from the BD. This portrait on the door has a woman wearing a bow around her neck. I'm not sure what to make of the orange painting.

Looks like Elly, Charlotte, and Walpurgis are settled. Since the Ika Musume one is right next to the main characters, like Walpurgis, it's probably another witch that was prominent in the show, like Elsa Maria or Gertrud. [[User:KM|KM]] 00:14, 15 June 2011 (UTC)
[[File:PN_05.jpg|thumb|right]]This sketch from the [[Puella_Magi_Production_Note | production notes]] shows the Walpurgis familiars with more detail. For example, the one suspected to be Charlotte has bangs similar to Charlotte's and polka-dotted tights.[[User:KM|KM]] 02:10, 21 August 2011 (UTC)
:Seeing how the Production Note shows the silhouettes in more detail, perhaps we should see if we can upload pictures of the pages of the silhouettes after the Production Note is released later this month. [[Special:Contributions/96.238.30.200|96.238.30.200]] 00:28, 3 September 2011 (UTC)
::Assuming the scans show up or someone contributes them, sure. --[[User:Randomanon|randomanon]] 00:35, 3 September 2011 (UTC
:::[[File:Madoka07.jpg|thumb|left]]I managed to find a picture that has three Puellae Magi from the ending picture. One of them is one Puella Magi that is thought to be [[Charlotte]]. The top one I believe to be Gisela because of ViralJuggernaut's speculah and the circular object in the middle of the Puella Magi's apron(?) bears some resemblance to the large gear in the center of [[Gisela]]'s body. I believe the one at the bottom (the last one in the ending picture) may be [[Uhrmann]] due to it's feral-ish appearance, which can be taken as canine by some. It may also be [[Roberta]] for the same reasons ViralJuggernaut sees so. [[Special:Contributions/96.238.30.200|96.238.30.200]] 04:06, 5 September 2011 (UTC)
In the PN 05 image, the girl next to what I strongly think is Charlotte could perhaps be Uhrmann because her dress matches that of her minions. In the latest PN picture, I think the last two could be Suleika because the attire is mismatched (dressing in the dark to go with the speculah that she was blind *wink wink*) I retract my statement that she could be Roberta because it was revealed that she was indeed an older woman when she became a witch. Was there anything more in the PN about the witches or even the guidebook? [[User:ViralJuggernaut|ViralJuggernaut]]
:Ah, perhaps what the guidebook says about the design labirynths is a clue to their wishes? Charlotte's sounds like she wished for her dying mother to eat cheesecake instead of curing her disease. [[User:ViralJuggernaut|ViralJuggernaut]]
:: Those were likely early concepts that were changed later in development; for example the "train" barrier which probably became Oktavia -- [[User:Universalperson|Universalperson]]
== BD ==
Just bumping this to ask that someone upload the BD version of this screenie. Eager to know if there are more girls to the left, afterall. --[[User:BrickBreak|BrickBreak]] 03:00, 22 September 2011 (UTC)

::Quite disappointing :/ Thanks, anyway. --[[User:BrickBreak|BrickBreak]] 08:06, 22 September 2011 (UTC)

== Production Note ==
These might be helpful. --[[User:Randomanon|randomanon]] 04:11, 3 December 2011 (UTC)
[[File:Production Note 0014.jpg|thumb|From Production Note|left]]
[[File:Magical Girls End Credits.jpg|thumb|Slightly closer view|left]]

== Theory ==
Since the magical girl that greatly resembles Charlotte does not look at all like Nagisa, what if Walpurgisnacht's minions are gijinka-ized versions of the magical girls of the witches? Meaning that they are the original magical girls, but their outfits are similar to their witch forms. That's the only thing that I can think of that can account for the Charlotte-looking magical girl not looking like Nagisa. -[[user:AntMan9751|ANTHONY]] 02:53, 10 May 2014 (UTC)

Mitakihara Town

2014-05-08T19:48:15Z

AntMan9751: /* Episode 10 */

[[File:Guidebook 0069.jpg|right|thumb|200px]]
{{Nihongo|'''Mitakihara Town'''|見滝原町|Mitakihara-chō}} is a provincial city where the story takes place. It was not until recently that development began in the town. Much modern architecture has been constructed since.

Also {{Nihongo|'''Mitakihara City'''|見滝原市|Mitakihara-shi}} is mentioned in the story. The evacuation notice in [[Episode 11]] refers to Mitakihara City. Mitakihara Town is most likely another name used for Mitakihara City. It is possible the town is a subdivision of the city, though if this were the case, it'd be more likely referred to as a ward.

==Magic creating goddesses==

I am starting to think that the Madoka verse is somehow tied to the Karma/Space-Time/Origin compression of Soul-Bond transdimensional network building through hard recurrence method.
*The continuous process of soul recycling amongst parallel dimensions and timelines is a controlled process guided by a general set of laws designed to dillude karmic accumulation and ensure the eventual achievement of perfec happiness, enlightenment or nirvana.
*However, any given set of rules cannot sustain itself in the face of a continuosly changing environment which inevitably stresses it's inherent flaws and loopholes. This in turn determines that at some point the system will find a rupture point that will lead to an accumulation of karmic energy in a single soul which potentially destabilizes the system toward destruction.
*Under normal circumstances, the system flaw will be corrected because most distortions would fall short of the system's flexibily to work under stress and karmic rebounding would come to eliminate the distortion to preserve the system but there are ways to increase karmic accumulation beyond the system's capacity and henceforth triggering a fall.
*Hard recurrence method occurs when a small rupture is repeated over and over under different parallel worlds to the point it begins forming a network of soul-bond energy which grows and potentializes itself beyond the systems security measures and creates enough "fuel" to create a new sustained soul cycle. It basically becomes a flaw so great that a new system needs to be build and the accumulated energy allows for it to happen.
*Once such situation is reached, the rupture point just needs to be connected to the infinite outer dimensional stream of energy that the network will assimilate a portion of it, compress under the soul which caused the rupture and restructure itself into a new working system improved over the previous flaws. Take note that once that process happens, the soul is restructured to infinitely produce the same amount of energy as the one utilized in it's ascention, the person essentially becomes an extention of the infinite stream governing a part of it's power under it's will.
*By all accounts, said process is irreversible as an infinite source of energy cannot be erased, depleted or returned since the affected soul is an extension of the stream and not someone who borrows it's power.
*In the odd case a turnover of system cycles happens to clash with one another, the soul controlling the previous system will be placed into an obervant/consultive role whereas direct command will be given to the bearer of the new one as to prevent previous improvements from being hampered while guaranteeing the continuation of the system improvement cycle.
*If a peaceful coexistence between the previous and the current system becomes impossible, the innevitable points of rupture that arise will guarantee the ascention of a third party that will sanate said points of rupture and assume authority over the previous conflicting souls.
*The cycles will happen as many times as necessary under different systems until a completely sustainable working model can be achieved and all souls find happiness. --[[User:Derp101(3)|Derp101(3)]] 16:39, 26 October 2013 (UTC)

I kinda feel grim for the future of this franchise -- with change for (forced) continuation's sake and all that(Urobochi might enjoy writing with new ideas to torture audiences nonethless, but it wouldn't be the case had the Director and Producer never came up with those ideas).
If the new series or sequel ends so catastrophic such as the universe ends up being destroyed, it would make the series even LESS spectacular(in my opinion anyway), because space/time/universes are being so cheap nowadays [[Special:Contributions/1.161.36.244|1.161.36.244]] 12:55, 30 October 2013 (UTC) An Outsider Audience

==First impressions, no sound==
DAMN! This thing was epic even tough I watched on mute, Homura's insanity cannot be truly conceived until you see her expressions, she got more derranged expressions than Yuno Gasai!

Seriously tough, Homulilly is damn similar to Walpurgis Night, I think they were hinting that somehow she is the core of her nemesis or the title of Walpurgis is passed down to a new witch after the previous one is defeated.

That or Homura became a Walpurgis fascimile because in her mind that is the worst thing in the world. --[[User:Derp101(3)|Derp101(3)]] 23:54, 12 November 2013 (UTC)

: Good point about Homulilly. I remember that Gen once mentioned in an interview that he imagined Walpurginacht as a Godzilla-like creature in the original script, hence:
<blockquote> "Homura watches with anticipation for the result, but the Walpurgisnacht's tail pops out from the black smoke. A direct hit from its tail sends Homura flying." - [[The Beginning Story: Episode 11]]. </blockquote>
: - [[User:Prima|Prima]] 00:12, 13 November 2013 (UTC)

==Summary from 4chan==
The Incubators set up an experiment to observe and interfere with the Law of Cycles. The core of their plan was to imprison Homura's soul gem in an isolation field and hold her just on the brink of witching out, so as to lure the Law of Cycles into their trap.

This caused Homura to unknowingly create a labyrinth inside her soul gem. This is the dream world where most of the movie takes place.

Madokami hid her memories and Law of Cycles powers in Sayaka and Nagisa (Bebe) to throw the Incubators off track. When the trio entered Homura's barrier, it changed Madoka back into a living being.

Nobody told Homura about Madokami's plan, so she figured it was up to her alone to save Madoka. So she decides to deliberately force herself to become a witch, so that Mami and Kyouko will kill her, which would dissolve her labyrinth and thus free Madoka.

However, by this point Sayaka and Nagisa have explained Madokami's plan to the other girls. So they fight their way through Homulilly's familiars to give Madoka a chance to save Homura (snap her out of her witch state). This is possible because Homura's real soul gem is still intact in the real world (thanks to the Incubators' isolation field).

Sayaka et al. attack Homura's barrier, exposing the Incubators in the real world. Then Madoka and Homura hit the Incubators with some kind of combination arrow-storm attack, which destroys the isolation field.

Now back in the real world, restored Madokami comes with Sayaka & Nagisa to take Homura off to Yuri Valhalla. However, Homura has other plans. The lily field conversation plus Kyubey's statements about wanting to capture/control Madoka (and maybe also other things depending on how you interpret her character) convinced Homura that she was wrong to give up on her "save Madoka" obsession. So she basically tries to replicate the Incubators' experiment in the real world.

First she deliberately overloads her soul gem with her intense love for Madoka. In the old universe, this probably would have turned her into a witch, but since Madoka's wish does not allow for any witch to actually be born...

Homura changes Madokami's form back into Madoka (basically repeating what had happened in the dream world). She overwrites reality and then engulfs the universe in her labyrinth. Then she manually shatters her soul gem and creates something new: a soul orb. That is what triggers the Akuma transformation.

In Homura's new world:
Madoka is alive again. Sayaka and Nagisa are stranded in the physical world. The Incubators are working for Homura.

:This is the only thing from the Rebellion Material Book page that I could find that makes any reference to any potential sequels:

:*'''About the ending, on one hand it seems as if the story is starting right there; on the other, with the god and demon being born, it can also seem as if the "myth of creation" type of story has ended.'''
:*SHINBO: Although that doesn't mean that there's another story coming; that ending on its own should just be seen as the conclusion to this story. It does seem as if the story has come to an end after achieving a mysterious kind of balance. Considering the fact that it's the sequel to the TV series, it's really not that far-fetched to say that we planned to end that way from the start.

Elsa Maria

AntMan9751: /* Speculations */

__NOTOC__
'''Elsa Maria''' ({{Runes|ELSAMARIA}}) is a [[witch]] who battles [[Sayaka]] at the end of [[Episode 7]]. Her [[barrier]] is full of dark shadows with a white background. Her symbolism includes Christian crosses, and the terrain forms a large arm holding either a torch or a monstrance. Elsa Maria appears to be praying before this object when Sayaka engages her. She fights with fanged snake-like minions and tree branches that extend from her body.

==Speculations==
*Elsa Maria may be [[Momo Sakura|Kyouko's younger sister Momo]], who Kyubey secretly made into a Puella Magi.
**It would appear to be very hard for there to be a magical girl that other magical girls didn't know about in the first place, especially when another one was her ''sister''. This seems too unlikely, especially since Kyouko said, in episode 7, that everyone but her in her family were killed. Although unlikely, the true form of a magical girl is the soul gem, it is possible that Kyouko's father may have killed the body of Momo but the soul gem was left over to become the witch.
***There's no doubt that Elsa Maria has some sort of religious symbolism to her, since she's praying, but there's not even a single reference to the Sakura family religious symbol, whereas Kyouko literally wears it as part of her magical girl outfit. This speculation seems at best very unlikely.
*Some think that Elsa Maria, as a girl, was abused by the church and wished for it to stop/for the abuser to perish. When this then happened she may have been overcome by grief and turned into a witch, which nature is self-righteous. Could fit if we consider that her barrier is based on a church because she became a witch in a church.
*Possibly a reference to the song Ave Maria which [[Kyousuke Kamijou]] is known to play.
*It could also be a reference to Jeanne d'Arc, another magical girl (as shown in episode 12.) Jeanne said she was hearing the voices of saints, angels and God, and prayed very often.
*Elsa Maria ''may'' be linked to [[wikipedia:Kakure_Kirishitan|Kakure Kirishitan]] (or "Hidden Christians") which were a group of practicing Christians that existed in hiding from the mid 1600's and on. Freedom of Religion was finally granted to Japanese citizens in 1871, which may have been the result of a wish. This would explain the heavily religious nature of the witch.
**The counter-argument to this is since there's strong evidence that magical girls do not tend to live long, with mid-20s to 30s being considered a [[Puella_Magi_Production_Note#Roberta|long life]] for a magical girl, it is unlikely that Elsa Maria's wish was related to events that occurred hundreds of years in the past.
***However, it is possible that she is a long-lived witch.
** On the other hand, Elsa Maria could be a modern Japanese Christian, possibly a descendant of the ''Kakure Kirishitan'' and/or just ''very'' influenced by their history and martyrdom (like real life writer [[wikipedia:Shusaku_Endo|Shusaku Endo]], who was Catholic). She might be from either [[wikipedia:Nagasaki|Nagasaki]] (the city with the biggest historical connection with Japanese Catholicism, and one of the places where the ''Kakure Kirishitan'' came from), [[wikipedia:Akita|Akita]] (the prefecture where the Marian apparitions known as [[wikipedia:Our_Lady_of_Akita|Our Lady of Akita]] took place) or the Madoka world's equivalent to Nagasaki and Akita.
*[[Puella_Magi_Madoka_Magica_Official_Guidebook_"You_Are_Not_Alone"#Labyrinth_design|The Guidebook]] indicates that Elsa Maria's labyrinth design is a Church, with the words ''"I wish you, although not seen from me, to be happy."'' （まだ見ないあなたが幸せであるように）. It indicates when the Witch dies, the stained glass collapses and drops into the air. There's a 'baaaaaaahn' sound like from a pipe organ.
**Perhaps the line indicates that while Elsa Maria wished the happiness of others (or someone else's), it could not reflect or attain her own happiness.
**Perhaps Elsa Maria was an organist or had a connection to a church pipe organ.
***Historic Fact: The word ''organ'' is derived from the Latin [[wikipedia:Organum_(musical_instrument)|''organum'']], an instrument similar to a [[wikipedia:Portative_organ|portative organ]] used in ancient Roman circus games. In the 3rd century BC, the Greek engineer [[wikipedia:Ctesibius|Ctesibius of Alexandria]] is credited with inventing an instrument called the [[wikipedia:Hydraulis|hydraulis]] (aka a Water Organ), which delivered a wind supply maintained through water pressure to a set of pipes. The hydraulis was played in the arenas of the Roman Empire.
****Interestingly enough, Ctesibius is considered to be the "father of [[wikipedia:Pneumatics|pneumatics]]", which deals with the study and application of use of pressurized gas to effect mechanical motion: ''ex.'' trains.
*The tree growing from Elsa Maria's back may be a reference to the Biblical tale of Adam & Eve. The familiars could be a reference to the animals in The Garden of Eden.
*There is possibility that Elsa Maria is praying for America to end World War II, given the Statue of Liberty-like image in her labyrinth. The dead tree look of her attacks may reference the effect of the fallout radiation from the nuclear bomb that was dropped on Japan. Her minions also are representative of the twelve zodiac, which may imply the transition after World War II from Eastern thought to the Western thought that happened after World War II.
**One of the attacks against Sayaka is reminiscent of the Rising Sun Flag of Japan during World War II.
***This theory does not contradict that Elsa Maria may have been highly religious or catholic, given that there was percentage of Catholic worshippers in Japan because of the missionary movements and the prohibition of any Christian worship had been gone for decades already.
*It could be possible that Elsa Maria is the Witch-form of [[Oriko]] from the spin-off manga, [[Puella Magi Oriko Magica]], due to both of their self-righteous natures. Oriko also wished to know the meaning of her life, which the tree in Elsa Maria's Barrier could represent as the "Tree of Life".

== Official Synopsis ==
'''Official Yen Press synopsis''':

''Puella Magi Madoka Magica: The Different Story'' by series creator Magica Quartet and artist Hanokage is a spin-off series from the original world of the hit anime and manga ''Puella Magi Madoka Magica''. In ''The Different Story'', Kyouko and Mami take center stage, and the story follows an alternate chain of events. The first volume is also scheduled for release in March 2014.

== Observation & Trivia ==
* Mami and Kyoko are the protagonists in this story.
* The story implies that Kyouko's father is physically abusive to her mother.
* After seeing her father hanging, Kyoko lost her 'Rosso Phantasma' ability. She might have decided to break up with Mami because she thought herself a burden to her.
* In this story, Sayaka saves Mami from her fate (defeated by Charlotte) by making a contract for Kyousuke. She then teams up with Mami.
** Homura tells Mami that since she already formed a party with Sayaka, she should not induce Madoka to contract with Kyubey. However, Mami thinks Homura's intention is to take Madoka for herself, along with Kyoko, so she refuses such idea.
* Sayaka doesn't go to save Hitomi from a witch since she doesn't want to lose Kyousuke. Hitomi is saved by Mami, and Sayaka feels regret and guilt for almost letting her friend die.
** She flips out during a witch hunting, and results in Mami getting severely hurt. Despite healing Mami with her magic, this makes Sayaka fall into despair.
*** Madoka tells Kyousuke about how his hands were healed. Sayaka feels hurt again when her secret is exposed.
* Sayaka becomes a witch in the late part of chapter 8.
** She didn't call herself an idiot this time. She feels happy for being necessary to Mami, but it was already too late.
** According to Kyubey, she became a witch because there are no grief seeds left for her. They were all used by Homura, Kyoko and Mami.
*** Kyubey corrects his words later in volume 3, he indicates that it is not Mami's fault that Sayaka became a witch as Mami tried to avoid hunting excessively too many witches, leaving the rest for Sayaka, but Sayaka never acted as Mami hoped, so Sayaka failed to cleanse her Soul Gem as a result.
**** Kyubey isn't bothered with the results, saying confrontation between magical girls speeds up the pollution of their Soul Gems.
***** Kyubey regrets that Kyouko and Mami didnt become witches, since that represents a net loss.
****** After hearing his words, Mami becomes angry and summons a pistol from her soul gem, preparing to shoot Kyubey.
* Knowing a magical girl's inevitable fate, Mami decides to die with Oktavia. Kyoko stops her and they fight.
** Candeloro tries to tempt Mami to fall into despair with promises of friends that would never betray nor abandon her, promising Mami a new world of happiness. This is the first time that we learn that ones' witch version can tempt a magical girl to fall into despair.
** Homura remembers Mami's insanity after learning the truth from many timelines. She tells Kyoko about it but Kyoko doesn't believe her.
** Kyoko recovers her illusion ability momentarily. She deceives Mami so she has the chance to cleanse Mami's soul gem.
*** Kyoko creates a fake image of Mami's corrupt Soul Gem being cleanse to make Mami think it is cleansed to stop her from becoming Candeloro. In fact Mami's Soul Gem is still corrupted and Kyoko does not cleanse it until after she kills Oktavia {{spoiler|and dies later on as a result. Kyouko used a lot of magic during the fight against Oktavia, but instead of using the Grief Seed for herself, she uses it on Mami. While Kyouko is hunting down another witch for a Grief Seed to cleanse her Soul Gem, Kyouko runs out of magic inside the Witche's barrier and dies}}.
* Finally Madoka makes her contract to revive Sayaka, and they fight Walpurgis together. Although it is not shown, they probably failed and Homura likely reset the timeline. {{spoiler|Mami commits suicide by breaking her own soul gem (after being saved by Homura). Mami might be afraid of becoming a burden to Madoka since she no longer wants to fight.}}
** During the Narration of Mami's letter, we are shown what appears to be an alternate world, where Mami is happy with friends, all the magical girls are in friendlier terms, and Mami's parents are alive. It is not known if this is a dream, Mami's wishful thinking of how she wished the world could had been, a different timeline, or just a delusion from Mami's mind while she narrates her letter.
** Homura doesn't reset time before fighting Walpurgis. She suggests Madoka to run away {{spoiler|to prevent her from becoming Kriemhild Gretchen}}, but Madoka refuses again.
** After revival, Sayaka changes her attitude towards Homura. She also seems to know nothing about becoming a witch, and instead believes that she was saved by Madoka just before being killed by witches.
* Weapon designs in this spin-off are the same as in anime, rather than the [[Manga differences|manga version]].
** Mami also often summons multiple guns.
** Soul Gem design is also based on the anime version.
*Through out the story, it is stated that one Grief Seed is not enough to purify multiple Soul Gems, making its usage very limited on a party. This is the source of competition among magical girls.
**It is also the source of strife and friction with Mami and other magical girls (and Kyoko).
**Also the reason why magical girls ignore familiars, as magic would be wasted on a target that doesn't drop Grief Seeds.
*Madoka's self-esteem is just like in the [[Madoka Magica Drama CD 1: Memories of You|Drama CD, "Memories of You"]]. Madoka confesses that the reason she wants to become a magical girl is because she has become self-conscious of how weak and useless she is, how much of a burden she is to her friends. She compares her current self with Sayaka and Mami and realizes how big the gap against those girls has become. She is also afraid that if she becomes a magical girl she would mess up and damage Mami's and Sayaka's team work.
*Kyouko reveals to Mami that she does not consider her to be her friend, much to Mami's anguish.
**But what Kyouko really meant was to her, Mami is like a sister, the only family she has left in the world.
*Mami wanted her relationship with Kyouko to be more than that of being her senpai, but she was too afraid of getting closer to Kyouko.
*Homura compares Mami's tragedy like her own, for that reason she gave Mami a chance to trust her. Before the end of the story, she realizes how foolish that wishful thinking was.
*At the last volume Kyouko and Mami narrate their deepest thoughts of what has happened to them, the imagery clashes with what has happened in the storyline.
**In Kyouko's case, while fighting Oktavia, we see an image of Kyouko being introduced to Sayaka, Homura, and Madoka by Mami. Perhaps in this world Kyouko and Mami are still friends. Sayaka extends her hand to shake that of Kyouko's. Perhaps a wish that they could had met under different circumstances.
**While Mami narrates her last letter, we see Kyouko in Mami's apartment and Mami has invited the rest of the girls to join her on her tea party. Apparently Kyouko and Sayaka had a fight and Kyouko doesnt want to see her. Mami tells Kyouko to just make up and become friends again since it would be lonely to eat by themselves. Suddenly there are the silhouette of visitors in the entrance to the doorway, suggesting that these are Mami's parents who returned early. It is perhaps suggested that in this world there are no witches and all the girls are friends, or at least that is Mami's wish.
*The story never explains if Madoka is aware of the fate of magical girls, it is implied that she is unaware of it. Sayaka also doesnt know about it since she has no recollection of what happened to her.
*While the story centers around Mami and Kyouko as the main characters, their moment of their demise are never shown, instead they are narrated by a third party. {{spoiler|Kyubey tells Mami how Kyouko died, and Homura narrates that Mami committed suicide.}}
*Mami's mental state was never fully explored during the Anime series. When [[Episode 10]] was aired fans were shocked to see Mami's mental breakdown. Different Story allows the reader to further understand Mami's fragile mental state.
**It is speculated that Mami is suffering from survivor's guilt. She feels somehow remorseful for her parent's death for using her selfish wish to save herself. Mami even mentions how wonderful it would be like to use one's wish to help others. Driven by her guilty conscience Mami tries to save as many lives as she can to make amends for her selfish wish. Because of her drive to save as many lives as possible as a magical girl, Mami allows herself very little time for a social life. Mami's decision isolates her from her friends and from the rest of society; she can only function and interact with the world as a magical girl and as their protector, instead of as a human being. Mami personally believes that this is a sacrifice she has to make for her new-found responsibilities and for her parent's death.
***In contrast, Kyouko used her selfless wish to save her family from starvation. Feeling responsible for her parent's death, Kyouko decides that if one were to make a wish, it should be a selfish wish for the benefit of the self so it wont hurt other people, instead of imposing such a burden on others as well as any expectations from them. Kyouko's response from her loss is to become a ruthless survivalist, perhaps as a way to punish herself for her sins as well to be hated by others. In truth, Kyouko does care about the well being of other people, but the pain and suffering of hurting anyone she cares for would be too much for her, which is why she pushes people away from her because of her fear of hurting them.
* [[Michiru Kazusa]] from ''[[Kazumi Magica]]'' makes a cameo appearence in the third volume. This scene was probably included because ''Kazumi'''s [[Masaki_Hiramatsu|author]] wrote the Drama CD the first volume was based on.

== Speculations ==
* If Mami became Candeloro in this timeline, her familiars would be red ones and blue ones, rather than the pink ones.
** It makes sense, since Madoka hasnt made a contract at the time.
** The actual reason for this is because in this timeline the two people that Mami wanted to keep all to herself were Kyoko and Sayaka, in no other timeline (including PSP) had she seemed to become closer to Sayaka than Madoka.

The Rebellion Story/Synopsis

2014-04-28T10:45:52Z

AntMan9751: /* Act 4 */

{{spoilers}}

== Prologue ==
The movie begins with a sequence where [[Homura]] narrates about the existence of magical girls while her Soul Gem floats through an open window and into an underwater-esque void.

The setting changes to [[Mitakihara Town]]. A new kind of monster called a "[[Nightmare]]" appears near a movie theater, which alters reality. The Nightmare attacks the city, but is then confronted by [[Madoka]], [[Sayaka]], and [[Kyoko]]. The Nightmare escapes into a dining room. [[Mami]] can briefly be seen in the background with a strange creature that resembles the witch [[Charlotte]] on her shoulder. Music begins playing as Madoka, Sayaka and Kyoko arrive carrying food, which they feed to the Nightmare. Finally Mami walks up to the Nightmare. The creature on her shoulder, who is later shown to be called "[[Bebe]]", slides down on the table carrying a cup of tea. Time suddenly stops for the Nightmare. A flash of light comes from Bebe's teacup, bathing the room in light. The magical girls smile.

Suddenly Madoka wakes up in her room, like she did after the dream in [[Episode 1]] of the anime. She greets [[Kyubey]], who is also sleeping in her room. Kyubey appears to be incapable of human communication and acts like an animal. What follows is a recreation of a sequence from the anime's first episode. Madoka greets [[Tomohisa Kaname|her father]] while he's cutting tomatoes and forcefully wakes up [[Junko Kaname|her mother]]. In the washroom, there is a divergence from the anime when Madoka reveals that [[Hitomi]] and [[Kyousuke]] are going out. However, she claims they're having some relationship difficulties. Madoka also says that [[Kazuko]] is suddenly talking about the end of the world, which Junko blames on her relationship problems. Finally, Madoka says a transfer student is coming to their class. Notably, Madoka is wearing a magical girl ring, and Kyubey is also in the washroom soaking himself (as in [[Episode 2]]). We then see a repeat of Junko catching [[Tatsuya_Kaname|Tatsuya]]'s dropped tomato and then bidding her family goodbye as she leaves for work. Madoka then hurries off to [[Mitakihara_Middle_School|school]] with a piece of toast in her mouth, this time accompanied by Kyubey. The movie's title sequence begins.

== Act 1 ==

On the way to school Madoka is greeted by Sayaka and Kyoko. Kyoko is now a student in Madoka's class, though she is a bit of a slacker. The three of them discuss school and homework. In class, Kazuko rants about the world possibly ending before introducing the transfer student, Homura. Homura is once more wearing her [[Episode 10|glasses and braids]]. While Kazuko is continuing her introduction, Homura deliberately shows off her ring, revealing to Madoka, Sayaka and Kyoko that she's also a magical girl. Later in the day the girls speak with Mami. Mami admits that she already met Homura and wanted to surprise the others. Homura explains that she helped them in the Nightmare battle they had last night. The other magical girls quickly welcome Homura into their group.

Later, Homura and Madoka discuss how it's been a month since Homura arrived. They admit it feels like they've always been together while at the same time feeling that they have been waiting forever to spend time with each other. Meanwhile, Hitomi calls Kyousuke from her room in order to ask if he's available over the weekend. Kyousuke admits that he has to practice for an upcoming recital. Hitomi initially seems understanding after ending the call, but then she flies into a rage. Red threads come out of Hitomi's bed before it seems to swallow Hitomi. Hitomi's Nightmare emerges.

At Mami's house, Bebe announces the presence of the Nightmare. Sayaka and Kyoko go to the Nightmare first and recognize it as Hitomi's. Sayaka jokes that Hitomi must have it hard with Kyousuke as her boyfriend and says that she knows because she has "life experience". The other magical girls arrive to join them and they all transform. They girls announce themselves to be the "Puella Magi Holy Quintet" (the first time any character has spoken the words "Puella Magi"). The Nightmare attacks, but it is quickly contained by the magical girls. Bebe places a cake container around the Nightmare and transforms into her alternate form - which is Charlotte's alternate form. The characters sing the [[Cake Song]], which turns the Nightmare into a cake. Bebe then eats the cake whole and spits out a blob shaped like Hitomi's head. Sayaka catches the blob as well as a falling piece of paper with a picture of a violin on it. Sayaka throws the paper into the air and it turns into a silhouette of Kyousuke playing the violin. The Hitomi blob flies up after it and vanishes, releasing sparkles that purify the magical girls' Soul Gems. Hitomi reappears sleeping beside her bed, while the city returns to normal. The characters celebrate their victory, but Homura feels something is wrong.

The next day, Homura notices that almost all the teachers and students at her school have distorted faces. Later, while sharing a meal with the other magical girls, Homura sees that everyone in Mitakihara has the same distorted faces. The scene switches to a bunch of girls in strange outfits watching an organ grinder; these girls reappear throughout the film. It's then shown that Homura is having a personal meeting with Kyoko where she tells Kyoko about her suspicions. In fact, Homura says that she came to Kyoko because she felt that there was something wrong with the way Kyoko was acting, which made her different from everyone else. Homura asks Kyoko where she lives and when she started coming to Mitakihara Middle School. Kyoko says that she's staying with Sayaka and she transferred to the school before Homura did - but she doesn't remember when. Homura then asks where Kyoko lived before coming to Mitakihara. Kyoko says she came from [[Kazamino City]], which is next to Mitakihara. She says that she came to Mitakihara because Kazamino wasn't having any problems and Mami needed help. Homura asks Kyoko to take her to visit Kazamino. Kyoko agrees, on the condition Homura treat her to ramen afterward.

The two girls ride a bus to Kazamino, but are shocked when the bus returns to Mitakihara without stopping. To ensure they didn't get on the wrong bus, Homura and Kyoko take the next bus to Kazamino, but find that it has suddenly become a Mitakihara local bus. They try walking to Kazamino directly, but find themselves back where they started. Kyoko realizes that something is trapping them in Mitakihara and pulls out her Soul Gem. Homura stops her from transforming and tells her that there might not even be anything outside of Mitakihara. She asks Kyoko to keep it a secret from the others. When Kyoko protests, Homura tells her it's safer to pretend nothing is wrong. Both girls are suddenly surrounded by wobbly humans with odd faces. Homura advises Kyoko to let her handle it. Kyoko relents, and the odd humans walk away. Homura says that whoever is trapping them won't do anything as long as they don't try to escape. Kyoko agrees and admits that something is off with her memories. She says that although Homura is acting more confident, it doesn't feel strange at all. In fact, she feels Homura is acting the way she is supposed to. Kyoko then leaves, while Homura walks off in the opposite direction. Homura pulls off her braids and glasses and remembers that she's seen a something like this before: An illusionary space that traps human victims in a labyrinth. Homura concludes that this Mitakihara City is actually a witch's barrier.

== Act 2 ==

Homura wanders through flashbacks from the original anime as she muses to herself about witches. [[Episode 10|She remembers the time loop she was in]], [[Episode 12|which was broken by Madoka's sacrifice]]. She concludes that the witch has altered everyone's memories to trap them in the fake Mitakihara. Later, Homura has tea at Mami's apartment with Mami, Madoka, and Bebe. Madoka and Homura both ask about when Mami met Bebe. Mami says that she met Bebe before meeting Madoka and Sayaka - though she doesn't remember how they met. However, Mami admits that Bebe used to be the only one supporting her, and without Bebe she would have fallen into despair. Bebe walks up to Mami and jumps into her lap, indicating she reciprocates their friendship. Mami admits that she used to act like the dependable senior, but now she's surrounded by people she can depend on. Bebe says that Mami's really a crybaby, causing Mami to laugh. Madoka and Mami muse that Nightmare hunting is almost like a happy dream now.

Homura asks Mami for another cup of tea. As she leaves the room, a ribbon can briefly be seen trailing behind Mami. Once Mami leaves Homura transforms and stops time. She then grabs Bebe, unfreezing her from the stopped time. Homura says she recognizes Bebe as Charlotte and accuses her of being the witch that created the barrier. Bebe claims not to understand what Homura is talking about. Homura leaves Mami's apartment, recalling the difficulties she had with Mami in the past. Homura tries to interrogate Bebe further, but then one of Mami's ribbons appears tied around Homura's leg. Homura is then confronted by Mami, who has the other end of the ribbon wrapped around her arm. By holding onto the ribbon attached to Homura, Mami is immune to Homura's time stop and has been observing her the whole time. She demands Homura explain herself. Homura claims that Bebe is deceiving her, that their memories are fake, and that the city of Mitakihara is an illusion. Mami doesn't understand what Homura is talking about, prompting Homura to unfreeze time, throw Bebe in the air, and shoot at her. Mami pulls Bebe away with another ribbon and tells her to escape. Homura stops time again and tries to shoot off Mami's ribbon, but it dematerializes before the bullet hits. Homura asks Mami if she's willing to protect Bebe. Mami says she is, and the two girls proceed to have a gun duel as Homura freezes and unfreezes time.

After a frantic battle, both girls prove to be evenly matched. With time still stopped, Homura puts a gun to her head, as if she were attempting to kill herself. A shocked Mami pulls on the ribbon tied to Homura's leg, tripping Homura. However, this turns out to be just as planned; Homura fires the gun through her head and wraps the ribbon around around the bullet. The bullet breaks through the ribbon, severing Mami's connection to Homura and freezing her in time. Homura gets up and aims her gun at Mami's Soul Gem, but decides to incapacitate Mami instead by shooting her leg. The bullet stops before it hits Mami. Homura unfreezes time, the bullet connects, and Mami breaks apart to reveal a mass of ribbons; it turns out Homura was fighting a ribbon duplicate of Mami the whole time. Homura is entrapped by the ribbons and is confronted by the real Mami. Mami says that since Homura didn't try to hit anything vital she must care about her in some way, but she demands to know why Homura attacked Bebe. Homura insists that Bebe's a witch, the enemy of magical girls. Mami has no idea what a witch is, and says their enemies are wraiths. Mami's statement shocks both herself and Homura. Mami remembers that they've always been fighting against wraiths, and then wonders what the Nightmares are. Mami's recollections are disrupted by a giant mouth opening up in the sky. Suddenly a fire hydrant falls from the sky and is stabbed with a sword, covering everything in smoke. When Mami blows the smoke away she finds Homura is gone. As Mami wonders what is going on, a voice comes from behind her saying she can explain. Mami turns to see a new magical girl, [[Nagisa Momoe]], and realizes that she's Bebe. Nagisa apologizes for deceiving Mami and asks her to stay calm and listen.

It's revealed that Homura was rescued by Sayaka, who breaks Homura out of her bindings. Sayaka chides Homura for fighting Mami and for suspecting Bebe as the culprit just because she was a witch. Homura is surprised to find Sayaka remembers witches. Sayaka admits it's her role, and then says that the Charlotte Homura remembers wasn't the sort of witch who could create a replica of Mitakihara and trap the others in it - especially since the witch hasn't attacked anyone. Sayaka explains that the witch's barrier isn't a trap to lure in prey, but a world the witch wants for herself. She rhetorically asks Homura who benefits from the barrier. Homura then attempts to stop time, but Sayaka thrusts her sword into Homura's shield and prevents the time stop from occurring. Sayaka chides Homura again for relying too much on her time powers, which bothers Homura because Sayaka is implying she has knowledge of prior timelines. Homura says that the witch must be one of the five magical girls. Sayaka confirms this, and asks Homura what she will do if she finds the witch. Homura says the answer is obvious - she'll destroy it.

Sayaka asks if this world where everyone is happy is wrong, and if the heart who wished for this world is bad enough that it needs to be destroyed. Homura asks Sayaka if she's defending the witch. Sayaka admits that she has to sympathize with them, since magical girls become witches. Homura then remembers something important: the reason Mami doesn't remember witches is because witches no longer exist. She remembers Madoka's sacrifice prevented witches from being created, and magical girls are now taken by the Law of Cycles. Homura says there are three things that shouldn't exist: The witch that created the barrier, Bebe who is in the form of a witch, and Sayaka with her knowledge of witches. She demands to know who Sayaka is. Sayaka simply says that she's exactly who Homura thinks she is. Suddenly [[Oktavia von Seckendorff]]'s reflection appears in the puddle the girls are standing on. A shocked Homura attempts to stop time and is once more blocked by Sayaka. She knocks away Sayaka's sword and kicks her backwards. Sayaka throws her cape over herself just as Homura stops time. Homura points her gun at Sayaka's cape, which has grown larger and has an image of Oktavia on it. Homura pulls on the cape and unfreezes time to reveal that Sayaka has vanished. Sayaka's voice, seemingly coming from everywhere, tells Homura that she hasn't answered her question about the witch who created the barrier. Sayaka tells Homura to think carefully before destroying the false Mitakihara, so she doesn't leave behind any regrets. The cape blows away in the wind.

Homura travels on a boat through the false Mitakihara. Animated drawings of Kyoko, Mami, and Sayaka repeat lines from earlier in the movie. She thinks that whoever is responsible for creating the barrier has abandoned the responsibility of fighting wraiths and escaped into this perfect world, which Homura believes is unforgivable. We then see a scene of Homura kneeling before a picture of Ultimate Madoka. Behind Homura are the oddly dressed girls, who are eating tomatoes. Homura claims that fighting wraiths is the price magical girls pay for their miracle, and that Madoka sacrificed herself for the sake of all magical girls. The boat is seen ablaze and sinking. Homura says this farce is just making light of Madoka's sacrifice, and she won't forgive it. Homura is shown sliding her hands over the picture of Madoka, while the oddly dressed girls throw their tomatoes, shouting "Gott ist tot" ("God is dead"). The boat reappears with Homura on it. As it passes under a bridge, Madoka and Kyubey appear and leap onto the boat from the bridge. Madoka expresses relief at finding Homura, and asks what happened to her. When Homura has difficulty answering, Madoka tells her it's no good to be all alone. As they walk through the city, Madoka admits she could listen to Homura's problems, even though she feels she might not be of any help. They walk to a flower field, where Madoka says that it hurts her if she can't help Homura.

Homura says she had a "dream" where Madoka went to a place so far away that she could never see anyone again, yet Homura was the only one who remembered Madoka was gone. Homura falls to her knees and admits that no-one could understand her feelings, and she began thinking that her memories of Madoka were something she made up. Madoka embraces Homura and says that sounds like a truly scary dream. She then tries to reassure Homura by telling her that she would never go far away like that. Homura asks how Madoka can say that for sure. Madoka says it's because she's her, and she could never handle something that would make Homura cry. Homura is surprised by this, and asks if it was also too painful for Madoka to bear. Madoka agrees, and says she could never abandon her friends and family; even if she had no choice, she feels she could never be strong enough to do it. This is shown to be a major revelation to Homura, who exclaims that if this is how Madoka feels then she's made a terrible mistake. Homura says she never should have accepted Madoka's sacrifice, and should have stopped Madoka from sacrificing herself. Homura tells Madoka that she is brave enough to make the decision to abandon her friends and family, and says that Madoka is much kinder and stronger than she realizes when she knows there's something only she can do. Homura says that Madoka doesn't seem to remember anything, and that she initially thought Madoka might have been an illusion. She explains that she now realizes Madoka is real, and just being with Madoka again has truly made her happy. Homura gets up and says she has something to do. She then leaves Madoka and Kyubey behind in the flower field.

Kyoko is shown getting a cell phone call. She is no longer wearing her school uniform and is at the arcade, suggesting she has returned to her old habits. The call is from Homura, who asks Kyoko if she remembers anything about witches. Kyoko doesn't know what they are, and asks if that's a problem. Homura says that not knowing is the right answer.Homura then Kyoko asks if she remembers Madoka. Kyoko says she does. Homura says there isn't any reason Kyoko should know about Madoka, and those memories must be fake. Homura claims that she should have figured out the truth earlier: The only person who could create a world where Madoka exists is someone who knew about Madoka in the first place. Homura proceeds to get on the bus to Kazamino while leaving her Soul Gem behind. Kyoko runs out of the arcade, asking if Homura's alright. She then looks up and sees a blimp on fire that's falling from the sky right at her. Unaware of the crashing blimp, Homura says there's only one more thing she needs to confirm before ending everything. She apologizes for involving Kyoko, turns off the cell phone, and drops it. Homura reveals her plan is to see what happens to her when she's too far from her Soul Gem. Homura soon finds that nothing happens to her at all. Fire erupts from inside the bus and the windows blow out. Meanwhile, blimps begin crashing all over the false Mitakihara. The city goes up in flames as bizarre objects rise from the ground. The bus suddenly falls out of the sky, crashes into the ground head-on, and explodes near the place where Homura left her Soul Gem. Homura reappears unharmed, and says she is no longer a magical girl. She shoots and shatters her own Soul Gem, without consequence. The girls in strange outfits reveal themselves to be familiars. Homura must now the accept the truth - she has been the witch all along.

== Act 3 ==

A cocoon shaped building rises from the ground below Homura and flies into the sky. Kyubey appears within the building, chides Homura for pursuing a truth that she does not desire, and claims human curiosity is irrational. It becomes apparent that his previous persona was just an act. Homura reappears wrapped in a white blanket. She throws it off to reveal she's now wearing a black dress, and says that she figured Kyubey was responsible. Kyubey reveals that Homura's body is outside of the barrier, while her Soul Gem is trapped in an Isolation Field - a space created by the Incubators that blocks out any external influence. In fact, the Incubators are using Homura as part of an experiment to see what happens to Soul Gems when they go completely black. The Isolation Field even prevents the Law of Cycles from acting on Homura's Soul Gem, causing it to form a barrier - which Kyubey recognized as a power of the witches Homura told him about. (This implies that Homura's discussion with Kyubey at the end of the anime is what led to the experiment. It also implies that the Isolation Field is actually blocking Madoka's omniscience, since she cannot enter the Isolation Field as a concept.) Kyubey explains the Isolation Field is preventing Homura from fully becoming a witch, comparing her to a chick that grew inside her egg without breaking it. The barrier, including the false Mitakihara, is actually within Homura's Soul Gem. When Homura questions how people came to be trapped inside the barrier, Kyubey explains they made an adjustment that allowed things to be "invited" inside. Images of the familiars appearing in the real world behind Mami, Kyoko, Hitomi, and Kyousuke are shown, [[Episode 4|implying they abducted the victims and pulled them into the barrier]]. Kyubey explains that the people trapped in Homura's barrier are people that Homura subconsciously wished for. Futhermore her barrier could also invite the Law of Cycles itself, which would allow the Incubators to observe what causes the disappearance of magical girls when they run out of magic. Kyubey has deduced that the Law of Cycles is already present in Homura's barrier, and it has materialized as a girl who never existed - Madoka Kaname. However, she has not displayed any unusual abilities. Kyubey believes that Homura's barrier has altered Madoka's memories as well, causing her to forget she was a god the same way Homura forgot she was a witch. He asks Homura to call out for Madoka's help, which would restore Madoka's memories and return her power as the Law of Cycles.

Homura asks Kyubey what his goal is. Kyubey says his kind wants to observe the Law of Cycles, which to them had only been a hypothesis. Homura insists on knowing why, claiming that if Kyubey considers curiosity irrational, he wouldn't go through all this trouble merely to observe something unknown. Kyubey doesn't answer, but Homura realizes that his goal is to control Madoka and attacks Kyubey with her witch powers. Kyubey evades the attacks and admits that by observing the Law of Cycles the Incubators could interfere with and control it. This would allow them to turn magical girls into witches, reinstating the old system that provided the Incubators with more energy. He tells Homura that she shouldn't be mad because her existence is at an end, and says she should be happy because she'll soon reunite with Madoka. Homura says that is not the happiness she wished for and begins filling her heart with grief, filling the tower with black liquid and accelerating her own transformation into a witch. Kyubey exclaims that if she transforms, she won't be able to be purified. Homura says that her wish was to save Madoka, and she would become a witch if it means keeping Madoka away from the Incubators. Kyubey asks if Homura wants to spend eternity trapped inside her barrier as a witch, but Homura believes that Mami and Kyoko will kill her instead and allow her victims to escape. Kyubey says that this means Homura won't be saved by the Law of Cycles, and she won't ever see Madoka again. Homura tells Kyubey to shut up, and her powers and familiars begin killing Kyubey repeatedly. Kyubey eventually escapes the building as a shape arises from the liquid.

Suddenly Homura is shown sitting in a chair next to Madoka (a reference to the opening sequence of the [[Madoka Magica Movie|first two movies]]). Madoka suddenly gets up onto the chair, falls to the ground, and collapses into a puddle. Homura tries to stop Madoka but fails, and distorted versions of Homura look down on her. Homura is then crushed by a giant version of herself pounding her hand into the ground. It's then revealed that Homura has now turned into her witch form, [[Homulilly]]. Homura muses to herself about becoming a witch, and as she breaks out of the cocoon building part of her head falls off. She begins to march out of the cocoon along with her familiars. In her mind, she thanks Madoka for coming to see her, and apologizes for not being able to say goodbye. A countdown similar to the one [[Walpurgis Night]] had in [[Episode 11]] appears, ending with Homulilly and her familiars marching towards a guillotine.

From afar, the other magical girls and Bebe watch Homulilly's procession. Sayaka tells everyone not to be afraid, and that Homura is suffering more than anyone else. Kyubey appears and asks if they're really going to fight Homura. Kyoko calls Kyubey out on suddenly talking, and Mami says they have to believe what Bebe told them. Kyubey tells Madoka that she can save Homura if she just remembers her own powers, but Sayaka tells her not to listen and to follow their own plan. Bebe transforms back into Nagisa and uses her weapon, a horn that blows explosive bubbles, to blow cracks into the ceiling of Homulilly's barrier. Homulilly's familiars charge towards the magical girls. In response, Sayaka stabs herself to summon Oktavia and an army of familiars from other witches. Nagisa and Sayaka explain that they are magical girls freed from karma by the Law of Cycles, and have now become a part of it. (Sayaka says that they're like "secretaries".) It's revealed that Madoka, Sayaka, and Nagisa didn't have their memories altered by Homura's barrier. Instead Madoka entrusted her memories and powers to Sayaka and Nagisa in order to fool Kyubey. Sayaka and Nagisa simply played along with the barrier while waiting for the right time to reawaken Madoka. Sayaka admits that while it's caused them quite a bit of trouble, Homura has been trying hard and deserves her reward.

The movie's climactic battle begins. Homulilly's charging Lotte familiars are met by an army of [[Anthony]]s. Nagisa partially transforms into Bebe and devours several Luiselotte familiars, releasing another stream of bubbles from her head. Oktavia holds off Homulilly while Madoka and Mami swing on trapezes. Madoka shoots an arrow into the barrier's broken ceiling, prompting Homura to beg everyone to stop. Homulilly sends out her elite familiars, the Clara Dolls, who tear right through the Anthonys' lines. Madoka rescues Nagisa from the Clara Dolls, which are held off by [[Mathieu]]s, before Madoka and Nagisa ride past them on a [[Sebastian]]. Sayaka battles one of the Clara Dolls, but another one knocks her into the air where she is swallowed by a giant Liese familiar. Kyoko destroys the familiar and saves Sayaka, muttering about being dragged into something that doesn't make any sense to her. She then tells Sayaka she had a horrible dream where Sayaka died, but admits realizing that the dream was actually reality, and the world they're in now is actually the dream. Sayaka says it's not a sad thing for Kyoko to call this world a dream. She tells Kyoko that while she first thought she had no more regrets, she took on her duty because she had one regret after all: Leaving Kyoko behind. Nagisa butts in and says she came back because she wanted to eat cheese again, prompting Sayaka to yell at her for ruining the mood. Sayaka and Kyoko then fight off the familiars together. Several giant Lottes attack Nagisa, while Madoka's arrow shots are blocked by shields with mouths. Mami swings onto a cake tank on rails and fires a giant Tiro Finale, destroying Homulilly's defenses (and accidentally sending Nagisa flying). Oktavia then uses Kyoko's spear to punch another hole into the barrier. Finally, Madoka shatters the barrier's ceiling with one final arrow shot, revealing Kyubey's Isolation Field. Sayaka explains that if the Isolation Field is destroyed Madoka can finally save Homura without interference.

In Homura's mind, she has flashbacks to the end of [[Timeline]] 3 where she killed Madoka and also has visions of being killed by herself. Suddenly Madoka calls to Homura, saying that she told Homura not to be alone. A window opens and a scarred hand comes out of it. Madoka says Homura is Homura, no matter what happens, and she won't ever abandon her. Homura's mental representation takes the hand and apologizes for being a coward and betraying her desire to see Madoka again. As she returns to normal, she claims that she can bear any sin and be reduced to any form, because as long as Madoka is by her side she'll be fine. Madoka and Homura reappear atop Homulilly's broken head, and they put their bows together for one final attack. As they charge the attack, Madoka asks if Homura is scared. Homura responds that she's fine, and she won't hesitate anymore. They release the attack, which pierces through the Isolation Field and launches a rain of arrows upon the assembled Incubators. As their bodies are destroyed the Incubator exclaim their surprise in unison.

== Act 4 ==

The barrier vanishes, revealing a place that appears to be the location Homura was in at the end of the anime. Mami places Homura's Soul Gem on her body. A few familiars assist the remaining victims (Kyousuke, Hitomi, Kazuko, Nakazawa, and the Kaname family) who are all asleep. Finally, Kyoko asks if Sayaka and Bebe are gone. Mami says they aren't, and they'll be taking Homura with them at last. A light appears in the sky. Kyoko asks if it's Madoka. Mami says it is, and that one day she will be coming for them. Ultimate Madoka descends from the sky, along with a carriage led by a Pyotr riding Walpurgis Night's elephant. The carriage contains Sayaka and Nagisa. Homura opens her eyes and sees the carriage, Kyoko watching with Mami, and finally Madoka coming for her. (In other, words, Madoka has unlocked her full powers and is observable.) Madoka, who is regaining her memories, apologizes for making Homura wait and says it's time for them to be together forever. As Madoka reaches down for Homura's Soul Gem, Homura says that she was waiting for this moment. She then grabs Madoka's hands, surprising her. (It is implied that Madoka has not regained her omniscience because she is still existing in only one place.) Homura says that she's finally caught Madoka as her Soul Gem goes completely black. Darkness spills out of her Soul Gem as a swirl of colors appear in it. Nagisa calls it a color worse than curses. Sayaka asks Homura what she is doing. Homura says that she doesn't expect anyone to understand, and that her feelings belong only to her and are meant for Madoka only. Reality itself begins to crack. Madoka begs Homura to stop or she'll be torn apart. Suddenly Madoka is separated from her goddess self. As reality cracks further, Homura embraces the human Madoka and says she'll never let go of her again. Finally, the colors spill from Homura's Soul Gem, engulfing all the characters. The cracks spread throughout the universe, followed by the colors from Homura's Soul Gem.

Homura appears floating in the void. Her Soul Gem emerges from her mouth, and she shatters it. The Dark Orb appears and flies into her hand. Kyubey appears, claims the world is being rewritten, and asks if a new concept is being born into the universe. Homura explains that this is the second time she's seen this place (the first was after Madoka's ascension at the end of the anime). Kyubey asks Homura why her Soul Gem hasn't vanished. Homura says she remembered how many timelines she repeated and the suffering and pain she experienced all while thinking of Madoka. She says that even the pain is now dear to her. What tainted her Soul Gem was no longer a curse, but something the Incubators could never understand. As she swallows the Dark Orb, she claims it is the pinnacle of human emotions, something more passionate than hope and deeper than despair: Love. Kyubey says Homura is no longer a magical girl or a witch, and asks what she is becoming. Homura transforms into a new costume and grows a pair of black wings. Homura says that since she is a being that brought down and imprisoned a god, it's only appropriate to call her a demon. Kyubey exclaims that his kind never should have experimented with human emotions, as this is a result they can't handle. Kyubey attempts to run away but Homura, now a giant, catches him. She claims that she still needs his existence to deal with the world's curses, and says she'll make Kyubey cooperate.

The setting changes to Earth. Homura sits at a table on the middle of the road to Mitakihara Middle School. She is apparently unnoticed by any passersby. A Pyotr appears briefly but vanishes. Mami, now in her school uniform, holds out her hand to catch falling cherry blossoms. Homura reaches her hand forward and knocks over a teacup. Mami turns around, but sees no-one behind her. She finds that she's caught a black feather. Elsewhere, Kyoko (also wearing her school uniform) is on a tree, feeding an apple to some Liese familiars. A group of Clara Dolls wave their arms at Kyoko from the ground. Kyoko throws another apple at them, but Homura shakes her head and the apple falls into the water. Kyoko looks up shocked as the Lieses, now apparently normal birds, fly out of the tree. She looks down on the road, but find only students going to school. The apple floats down the river and is chased by the Clara Dolls. Finally Sayaka appears before Homura and confronts her. Sayaka angrily says that Homura has taken away the Law of Cycles. Homura, now wearing an earring and lacking her magical girl ring, claims she only took a part of the Law of Cycles - the part that was Madoka before she stopped being herself. She says that somehow Sayaka and Nagisa are now trapped in the real world and are unable to return to where they were. Sayaka asks what right Homura has to do this. Homura says that as a demon, it's only natural she goes against god. As she's saying this, some of the Clara Dolls appear to be committing suicide by throwing themselves off a bridge. Sayaka asks Homura if she plans on destroying the universe as Oktavia rises from the water behind Sayaka. Homura supposes that's a fine idea after all the wraiths are destroyed. She says when that time comes she'll gladly be their enemy, but then asks if Sayaka can oppose her when her memories are being altered. Homura claps her hands and Oktavia disappears, causing Sayaka to stumble. Nagisa suddenly appears in her civilian outfit, running around happily. Sayaka says she was a part of something bigger, and was somewhere else, but she can't remember what it was like. Homura says Sayaka should be happy about being able to return to her human life, and that eventually she won't feel out of place anymore. Sayaka says she won't forget the fact that Homura Akemi is a demon. As the Clara Dolls throw tomatoes at Homura, she tells Sayaka to at least try to get along with her so "that girl" won't be mad. Suddenly Homura vanishes. Nagisa runs to some other children her own age and they leave, while Sayaka is then greeted by Hitomi and Kyousuke. Even though she doesn't remember, Sayaka begins tearing up and says that somehow being greeted by her friends makes her feel very happy. Hitomi claims Sayaka always says strange things, and Sayaka agrees with a laugh. We see that she still has her magical girl ring and Soul Gem tatoo, but the [[Runes]] on the ring have vanished.

Class begins for Mitakihara Middle School as Kazuko rants about her love life again. Homura is sitting at her desk looking bored. Suddenly Kazuko introduces a new transfer student: Madoka Kaname, now wearing yellow ribbons (seen in the anime's first episode). Madoka explains that due to her mother's job, her family has spent the past three years living in America. Madoka is swarmed by classmates asking her questions, but Homura stops them by saying they're bothering Madoka. She then introduces herself to Madoka and offers to give her a tour of the school. As Homura walks ahead of Madoka, she asks how coming back to Mitakihara feels. Madoka says it feels familiar, but something seems different. Homura says it's understandable, but then Madoka says that Mitakihara hasn't changed - it's herself. Madoka's eyes turn gold, prompting Homura to turn around in shock. Madoka says she's sure she had a different form and purpose. Reality changes as her hair ribbons vanish. Just as it seems she's about to change into Ultimate Madoka, Homura grabs her from behind which returns Madoka and reality back to normal. Homura claims that Madoka is her true self. Homura then asks Madoka if she considers the world precious and if she thinks laws or desires are more important. Madoka says she thinks laws are more important, and think it's a bad thing to just selfishly break the law. Homura takes off her hair ribbon (which she initially received from Madoka) and says that Madoka might become her enemy someday. As she ties the ribbon back into Madoka's hair, Homura says she doesn't care, as she only wants a world where Madoka can be happy. Homura then says the ribbons suit Madoka better. The last sequence before the credits is a montage. Sayaka and Kyoko are enjoying Pocky together, some Anthonys are seen passing roses, Mami rescues Nagisa from falling boxes of cheese, and Madoka is unpacking with her family.

== Epilogue ==

After the credits, Homura is seen sitting on a chair at the edge of a cliff. The moon is apparently broken in half. Suddenly Homura hears the sound of plants rustling. She turns to look in surprise, and sees Kyubey pop out of the foliage, which seems to disappoint Homura. The Dark Orb appears from Homura's hand and she begins dancing with it. Kyubey reappears suddenly looking disheveled. Homura grabs the Dark Orb in her hand, smiles, and falls over. Kyubey is seen again, quivering. A close-up of his eye reveals that darkness is swirling around in it. Finally the word "END" appears in different languages. The movie ends with a closed window, tied shut by a ribbon.

'''Nagisa Momoe''' is a magical girl introduced in the movie ''[[The Rebellion Story]]''. The [http://www.madoka-magica.com/character/ character page] only says she has a child-like appearance and that her wish and role in the movie are unknown.

{{Spoiler|During the movie, Nagisa disguises herself as her witch form Charlotte [[Charlotte|(link)]], which the other characters call "Bebe".}}

==Personality==
Nagisa is usually rather childish, though she's shown to be more perceptive than she seems.

As Bebe, she was shown to have a very close relationship with [[Mami Tomoe|Mami]].

==History==
At the moment, Nagisa only appears in ''The Rebellion Story''. (In fact, she technically appeared in [[Episode 3]] of the anime as the witch Charlotte. She is presumed to have been taken into Law of Cycles by [[Madoka]] [[Episode 12|at the end of the anime]].)

Prior to the beginning of ''Rebellion'', Madoka, [[Sayaka]] and Nagisa enter [[Homura]]'s witch barrier from the Law of Cycles. (Although the movie doesn't explicitly say this, Nagisa is essentially an angel for Madoka.) In order to stop [[Kyubey]]'s plan to observe and control the Law of Cycles, Madoka entrusted her memories and powers to both Nagisa and Sayaka so they could reawaken her to save Homura at the right time. Nagisa later explains that she took the mission because she wanted to eat cheese again.

Once she enters Homura's barrier, Nagisa disguises herself as her witch form (which Kyubey would not recognize). The other characters call her Bebe. While disguised, she stays at Mami's house and helps the magical girls fight [[Nightmare]]s. The memory altering effects of the barrier causes Mami to believe that Bebe is her oldest friend. Although her own memories are unaffected, Nagisa seems to reciprocate Mami's friendship.

Eventually Homura begins to discover the truth of the false world and suspects Nagisa/Bebe as the culprit due to her appearance as Charlotte. Homura tries to interrogate Bebe, but is stopped by Mami. Bebe escapes as Mami and Homura fight each other. When the battle concludes, Sayaka helps Homura escape from Mami, and Nagisa returns to her human form. She apologizes to Mami for deceiving her and explains the truth to Mami

Nagisa reappears as Bebe once Homura transforms into [[Homulilly]]. She transforms back into her human form and uses her weapon, an explosive bubble blowing trumpet, to create cracks in Homulilly's barrier. Ultimately, the magical girls hold off Homulilly and her familiars long enought to break through the barrier, revealing the Isolation Field that Homura's Soul Gem was trapped in. Madoka calls out to Homura's remaining humanity and together they destroy the Isolation Field from within, foiling the Incubators' plot.

Once the barrier disappears, Ultimate Madoka descends from the sky along with a carriage containing both Sayaka and Nagisa. Madoka intends to take Homura into the Law of Cycles. However, Homura has been changed by her experiences in her barrier and grabs Madoka before she can take her Soul Gem. Homura then separates Madoka from the Law of Cycles and uses her new powers to rewrite reality. Nagisa is shown to be engulfed by the colors spilling out of Homura's Soul Gem and spreading to cover the universe.

In Homura's new reality, Nagisa is unable to return to the Law of Cycles. She is seen happily running about in her civilian outfit, implying that Homura has erased her memories of being a magical girl. It is also suggested Homura has suppressed her magical girl and witch powers, effectively turning Nagisa back into an ordinary human. Eventually Nagisa meets up with a group of kids her own age and leaves with them. It is implied that they are all going to an elementary school together.

At the end of the movie Mami saves Nagisa from falling packages of cheese, suggesting that they will become friends again in the new reality.

==Observations==
* She is confirmed to be the puella magi that became [[Charlotte]].
* Nagisa claims she came back, as a herald of Ultimate Madoka, to eat cheese again.
* In the world Akuma Homura created, Nagisa goes to elementary school. She is seen with a school bag and laughing with her friends.
* She is said to have a childlike appearance.
* Her weapon is a trumpet styled like Charlotte, that can shoot bubbles powerful enough to put cracks in a Witch's barrier.
* Her soul gem is shaped like a candy.
* Her associated colour is possibly either white or orange.
* Unlike the other puella magi, Nagisa's hair, eyes and soul gem are not all the same colour.
* She seems to really hate Kyubey, as she is seen snarling at him several times as Bebe.
* She can channel or change her form to and from Bebe (and by extension Charlotte's second form). She can also summon Charlotte's, and other witch's, familiars. The [[Pyotr]]s she summons don't do anything, but a [[Polina]] is seen helping Mami with her trapezes. This is because of special powers granted to her as a herald of Ultimate Madoka, as well as being a part of the Law of Cycles.
** She rides on a [[Sebastian]] during the battle with Homulilly.
* Color Theme: Orange.
** Eye color: Red + Yellow = Orange
* Soul Gem shape: Smiling candy.
* Elemental Themes: Sweets, music.

==Trivia==
[[File:634512.jpg|200px|thumb|right|Nagisa's and Bebe's designs]]
* Nagisa's given name is written in hiragana, but it can mean "beach" or "seashore" when written in kanji.
* The first character for Momoe (百) means "hundred", but also carries the connotation of "a lot of things". The second character (江) means "inlet" or "bay".
**百江 (Momoe) could be translated as "hundred rivers" and なぎさ (Nagisa) as "Shore".
* Nagisa is voiced by Kana Asumi, who played Yuno in [[wikipedia:Hidamari_Sketch|Hidamari Sketch]]. [[NewType_2011-07|According to an interview]], [[Madoka Kaname]] is based on Yuno.
* Nagisa is the Madoka Magica franchise's third cat girl. The first is [[Satomi Usagi]], and the second is [[Yuma Chitose]].
* In Italian/Spanish/French/Portuguese, bebè/bebé/bébé/bebê means ''"baby"'' or ''"infant"''.
* Nagisa's trasformation starts with her saying "Parmigiano Reggiano!", a sort of cheese also known as parmesan

==Speculations==
{{Theory/Header|status=confirmed}}
* The most prominent speculation is that Nagisa is the magical girl form of [[Charlotte|Charlotte]]. It has been pointed out that Nagisa's bangs resemble part of Charlotte's forehead in doll form, and her pigtails resemble Charlotte's "ears" in both forms. Nagisa also has a similar color scheme to Charlotte, as she has white hair and wears clothing that is colored brown, red, and pink with polka dots. Finally, Nagisa has unusually colored eyes that are yellow in the center and red at the edge of each iris. This is similar to Charlotte's eyes in her larger form, which are colored blue near the center but then change to yellow and other colors. This theory was supported with the new trailer, showing Nagisa in her magical girl form which looks quite similar to Charlotte.
** [http://www.crunchyroll.com/anime-news/2013/10/09-1/movie-popcorn-flavor-might-suggest-madoka-magica-spoiler This article] shows that this speculation is even supported by popcorn.
** This theory has been confirmed by the movie.
{{Theory/Footer}}

{{Theory/Header|status=debunked}}
* Nagisa's white hair and unusually colored eyes have also drawn comparisons to [[Kyubey]] and Ultimate Madoka. There are speculations that Nagisa is an Incubator in human form, or some kind of manifestation of Madoka in the new world she created.
*Because the Faust legend references feature somewhat prominently in Madoka Magica, and due to the new ending animation shown at the end of the first movie (the sequence had a pink silhouette holding another, smaller silhouette inside of it - much like a fetus), it is speculated that Nagisa may be the child of Ultimate Madoka. In Goethe's Faust, Gretchen was actually pregnant with Faust's baby and she was forced to murder her baby by drowning it. Evidence to support this theory is fairly obvious - Nagisa's own design (most prominently her face) looking very similar to Madoka's, much like how a child would resemble their parents to an extent.
* Nagisa's last name is similar to [[Mami Tomoe]]'s last name, as well as the given name of [[Kyoko Sakura]]'s sister [[Momo Sakura|Momo]]. This might indicate a connection with both characters. Evidence to support this is in the [http://i.imgur.com/gpb265D.jpg new theatrical release poster], where it depicts Nagisa attempting to hide behind Mami and in return, Mami is seemingly trying to hold her close.
* Because of the reading of her name 百江 (Momoe) = Hundred Rivers and なぎさ (Nagisa) = Shore, it is speculated she could be the convergence of timelines.
*If Nagisa is connected to Madoka, Nagisa's magical girl form resembling a cat could reference Madoka's wish in the first timeline to save a cat.
**However, if Nagisa is associated with the Incubators, her magical girl form resembling a cat could reference the Incubators' cat/ferret-like appearance.
* Nagisa's given name could be a reference to Nagisa Misumi from the magical girl anime ''[[wikipedia:Pretty_Cure_(2004_TV_series)|Futari wa Pretty Cure]]''. It could also be a reference to Kaworu Nagisa from the anime ''[[wikipedia:Neon Genesis Evangelion|Neon Genesis Evangelion]]'' or Nagisa Furukawa from ''[[wikipedia:Clannad|CLANNAD]]''. All are likely for symbolic purposes: the first Nagisa is a magical girl, the second is speculated to be [[Homura Akemi|travelling through time loops]] in his canon's own reboot movies, and the third is saved by her love interest causing a similar time loop.
** Given the ending of Rebellion, it can also be noted that in the movie version of ''CLANNAD'', the time loops were removed and attempts to save Nagisa failed...

Gertrud

2014-04-27T19:12:40Z

AntMan9751: /* The barrier */

__NOTOC__
'''Gertrud''' ({{Runes|GERTRUD}}) is a witch born from negative emotions, who loves roses more than anything else--her [[barrier]] is full of them. She uses humans' life energy to feed her roses and hates humans entering her barrier. Her minions are [[Anthony]] and [[Adelbert]]. She and her barrier are presented in a surreal manner with bizarre cut-and-paste-style photo collages. She also seems to like mustaches as both of her minions have some. The special page has confirmed that the mustaches are set by the witch herself. Her "body" has parts from a butterfly, and butterflies are seen in her barrier at many points. (See also: [[Gertrud's maze]]).

{{spoilers}}

While Gertrud does not appear in ''[[The Rebellion Story]]'', her Anthony familiars do under the control of [[Oktavia]]{{spoiler|/Sayaka Miki[[Sayaka Miki|(link)]]. They also appear to exist in the new world created by Homura at the end of the movie. (They are presumably the ones that were summoned by Sayaka, unable to return to the Law of Cycles.)}}

==Note==
In [[Episode 1]], Anthonys are seen surrounding Sayaka and Madoka and yelling the following German phrases in a distorted manner:

==Trivia and Speculation==
*Gertrud's name may be a reference to [[wikipedia:Gertrude_(Hamlet)|Queen Gertrude]] from Shakespeare's play Hamlet.
*In episode 2 there's a grotesque image of Napoleon right before the door to Gertrud's barrier opens. Gertud may have been inspired by [[wikipedia:Josephine_Beauharnais|Joséphine de Beauharnais]], wife of Napoleon Bonaparte. She was known as Rose until she married Napoleon, and she patronized the development of rose breeding at her gardens at Malmaison, collecting some 250 varieties.
*Seiyus called Anthony ひげおじさん (''Higeojisan'', Uncle Moustache) in the audio comentary tracks of BD/DVD.
**They think he is cute.
*In the Catholic tradition, [[wikipedia:Gertrude_of_Nivelles|St. Gertrude]] is considered the [http://www.commonweeder.com/2011/03/24/saint-gertrude-of-nivelles/ patron saint of gardeners and herbalists.]
**Incidentally, she is also [http://www.jesterbear.com/Aradia/SantaGertrude.html the patron saint of cats] (and those who also loved them), travelers in search of lodgings, and insane people.[http://saintspreserved.com/gertrude.htm]
* In [[the Rebellion Story]], [[Adelbert]] is shown very briefly fighting against [[Homulilly]].

==Synopsis==
Taken from [http://www.animenewsnetwork.com/news/2013-09-27/3rd-madoka-magica-film-3rd-key-visual-drawn-by-ume-aoki ANN]:

A girl becomes a magical girl in exchange for her wish. The magical girls have a fate to fight against the witches, the harbingers of destruction that plant the seeds of despair, and in the end, they will succumb to despair and transform into witches themselves... The terrible cycle that had repeated so many times was finally ended by Madoka Kaname's sacrifice, and the world was led into a new order. However, the magical girls' battle must continue. The reason for this is because it is the compensation for the miracle. Unable to let her memories of Madoka die, Homura Akemi, the magical girl left behind continues to fight alone in the revived world. Her feelings pave the way for a new story.

...Madoka Kaname, the girl who had become the pillar to the Law of Cycles and Sayaka Miki, the girl who had lost her life when her magical power ran out both appear in front of Homura. What is the meaning of the appearance of two girls who should not exist anymore at all? Will Nagisa Momoe, the new magical girl who has an unsure face, tell the truth of the matter? And what is the new being that fights against the order of god and tramples the world?

==Speculation==
[[File:Madoka bingo movie specula.jpg|right|thumb|150px]]
*Prior to the movie release, fan speculation is divided among different opinions as to what is happening in the third movie: it is an alternative universe, it is an alternative timeline, it is a dream.
*The very last part of the new ending animation for the first movie features an unknown pink silhouette - most likely that of Ultimate Madoka - with another silhouette that is somewhat smaller and floating inside its belly, or womb (?) The smaller silhouette appears to be regular Madoka in a fetal position.
**This has fueled speculation of a pregnancy. In Goethe's Faust, Gretchen was actually pregnant with Faust's baby and she was forced to murder her baby by drowning it.
*There have been hints that the witches will reappear in the new movie in some capacity.
**There have been hints that Madoka Kaname will reunite with Homura Akemi, which probably strengthens the speculation above.
**Homura is seen shooting with a gun, not a bow like Madoka's, in the trailer.
***It's the REBELLION story so maybe Madoka would have rebelled against Homura or vice versa.
*In the new trailer, Homura is wearing her usual black headband and not the red ribbons Madoka gave her. Could she have lost them somehow? Could they have been stolen or destroyed by something or someone?
**A flyer released in Japan on 9/26 hinted the movie will take place both before and after the end of the original series. Which would explain this.
*There are also mentions of Hitomi Shizuki and the word "Nightmare" associated with her, implying that she will play a prominent role in the third movie. How this is related remains to be seen.
**Nightmares could be the result of Wraiths possessing humans, this would make sense since Hitomi was possessed by a witch in the previous universe and this was changed to accommodate Madoka's wish.
***If monsters are now born out of ordinary humans rather than just magical girls then Urobutcher got Madoka's ass really hard.
*It is speculated that the third movie could be taking place in a different universe. See [[:file:Theory other universe.png|here]].
**The movie might also partially take place in the city of Kazamino.
* It seems likely that the movie will have "flashbacks" to alternate timelines.
*Kyoko is seen in the uniform of the school attended by the other girls.
** In recent footage, Kyoko was seen in the same classroom with Madoka, Sayaka and Hitomi (sitting in a desk by Sayaka). Both Kyoko and Mami are supposedly the same age, and Mami is in a higher grade than Madoka and Sayaka. It can be speculated that Kyoko was "held back" a grade, due to how little she attended school earlier.
*Across from Mitakihara's school, Kyoko (who is wearing the school uniform) and Homura are sitting together, in which Homura has glasses and braids again. Homura also has her hands on her knees and she is looking down, possibly to indicate shyness again.
*In the beginning of the first trailer, Homura's soul gem appears to be partially tainted on the close-up.
*It can be speculated that Homura and/or Madoka could somehow become a witch in the new movie.
**This whole new timeline, order of the universe with {{spoiler|Ultimate Madoka}}, and the new system of magic could all even be an illusion. Madoka's ultimate wish could actually be turning out to be a disaster.
***Kyubey rebelling against Madoka.
*The new trailer suggests that Homura could be losing her memory of Madoka, like everyone else has.
*The first trailer, which is shown clearer at the end of the second movie's Blu-Ray disc, reveals the silhouette of the mysterious Magical Girl standing behind Mami in the below picture. On closer inspection, she has short hair (unlike the girl she's speculated to look like in the pic) and seems to be wearing something on her head, with two bun-like appendages at the top, curled side hair/side-bangs popping outward, and two flaps connected to a string with balls at the end. Where the silhouette is lit up on the bottom, she seems to be wearing fishnet stockings, or at least something with a crisscross pattern up to her thighs.
* Nagisa Momoe, the new magical girl, is speculated to be Charlotte the Dessert Witch as a magical girl. Nagisa's strawberry and chocolate color palette, pink candy bows on her shoes, yellow hair scrunchy, and polka-dotted theme can be matched to Charlotte's designs and color palette. If you look closely, even Nagisa's eyes which are yellow and orange-ringed can be compared to Charlotte's secondary form's eyes. Since Madoka's wish erased witches, this seems very plausible.
**However, it is also speculated that Nagisa may be an Incubator in human form or a manifestation of Madoka in the new universe. The latter is supported by the ending sequence of the first movie, during which the pink silhouette resembling Ultimate Madoka at the end had another silhouette resembling Madoka in its womb. In Goethe's Faust, Gretchen was actually pregnant with Faust's baby, which further supports this theory.
*Madoka's wish may have changed the fate of magical girls but not that of humanity, it could be that her wish only altered cause (witches) but not effect (disasters), meaning that catastrophes like Walpurgis Night attack or even Kriemhild Gretchen's apocalypse will still play out in a different form despite of Madoka's wish.
* In a bonus trailer from the Rebellion advanced ticket event, there is extra footage of Homura biting(?) and breaking her own soul gem.
**It is also speculated that it could be Madoka breaking Homura's soul gem, by either biting it or breaking it in her fist.
* Since the first release date of the Rebellion Story movie is on October 26th, it could possibly have a slight Halloween theme to it since it is only 5 days before the holiday. Though "witches" do not appear in this third film, the new Nightmare creatures including the yellow and orange doll-like one and Charlotte (most likely also considered a Nightmare now) apparently do appear in this new universe. The darker themes about Homura and her soul gem also contribute to the possibility of her become a "Nightmare".
** Homura's witch form, Homulilly, is the only witch seen so far that looks like a classic witch.
*A flyer released in Japan on 9/26 included the following quotes hinting towards the plot of the new movie -
<blockquote>''"Why am I… this…"'' - Speculated to be Hitomi 
''"If this is what you really feel… I’ve made a dumb mistake"'' - Speculated to be Sayaka 
''"Am I the only one who feels this way?'' - Speculated to be Homura 
''"Are you planning on running to your own time again?"'' - This line is said by Sayaka in the second trailer. 
''"Can you explain all of this to me!? What did that child say!?"'' - Speculated to be Kyoko </blockquote>

===Language of Flower Speculation and Symbolism===
[[File:Rebellion Special Ticket Language of Flowers.jpg|thumb|Rebellion special ticket]]
'''Madoka'''

In the Language of Flowers, [[:file:Madoka Deep Red Rose.jpg|the deep red rose]] and its thorns have been used to symbolize both the blood of Christ and the intensity of romantic love, while the rose's five petals are thought to illustrate the five crucifixion wounds of Christ.

'''Homura'''

[[:file:Homura White Daisy.jpg|A white daisy]] symbolizes common love.
*The daisy brings a message of innocence and purity, saying, ''"You have as many virtues as this plant has petals,"'' or, ''"I will consider your request."''
*In Victorian times, young, heartbroken women who wished to be loved began a custom using the daisy. A young maiden would pluck a daisy's petals, one by one, and sing, ''"He loves me, he loves me not,"'' as she pulled each petal. The last petal plucked would be the future of her relationship. This custom is still in use today.

[[File:Mami Yellow Iris.jpg|thumb|left|Mami Flower Clear File, [http://wiki.puella-magi.net/Merchandise:Special#Ticket_Extras set of 5] ]]

'''Mami'''

''Your friendship means so much to me.''[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RQcL1YOa37M]
*In Ancient Greece, Iris, the Goddess of the rainbow, acted as the messenger between heaven and earth. Today, the flower named for her is considered a symbol of communication and messages. In the language of flowers, the three leaves of Iris represents faith, hope, and wisdom. [[:file:Mami Yellow Iris.jpg|Yellow Iris]] symbolizes passion.

'''Kyouko'''

[[:file:Kyouko Craspedia.jpg|Craspedia]] represents good health.
*Commonly known as just billy balls or bilyl buttons, are cheerful, bright yellow flowers. The round pompom flowers are fairly inexpensive and a great accent flower when paired.
[[File:Rebellion - Language of Flowers - Kyouko - Epiphyllum.jpg|thumb|Rebellion Story screenshot]]
*Kyouko's henshin in Rebellion features flower of [[wikipedia:Epiphyllum|Epiphyllum]], the Orchid Cactus. A lone blossom, fragile yet beautiful, despite one finds this flower of humble origin, harsh environment, and prickly exterior. A rather fitting tribute.

'''Sayaka'''

[[:file:Sayaka Borage.jpg|Borage]] represents Courage, Bluntness, Abruptness, and Rudeness.
*An old adge, ''"I, Borage, always bring courage."'' Since men who are civil and respectful when sober often become blunt and rude in manner when under the influence of warming cordials, this warming property may have led to Borage being used as the emblem of Bluntness and Rudeness. It is indeed deemed a suitable representative of these characteristics on account of its rough and shaggy appearance the whole plant hanging loosely and being covered with rough hairs.

==Observation==
*If one looks closely to the movie poster, there are aqueducts zigzagging on the background.
**These aqueducts are very similar to the one's in Ophelia's barrier.
**Aqueducts also appear in the background during the Mami versus Homura battle. Interestingly, they seem to contain crosses. They can also be seen in the background of [[:File:Meet_nagisa.gif|this picture with Nagisa]].
