==Parts 3-3 and 3-4==
Is anyone able to find parts 3-3 and 3-4? Even if they're not translated that's still okay, but as it stands, this is the only missing part of the stroy. ~ [[User:Sweet Beanie|Sweet Beanie]] ([[User talk:Sweet Beanie|talk]]) 13:03, 21 July 2026 (UTC)

Also some parts of the april and may events -_- ~ [[User:Sweet Beanie|Sweet Beanie]] ([[User talk:Sweet Beanie|talk]]) 13:31, 21 July 2026 (UTC)

:Looks like the second wiki linked [[Puella_Magi_Madoka_Magica_Online#Fansite|here]] might have it? That's [http://mm-online.info/ this] page (note: it doesn't support HTTPS, so you'll get a security alert). ~ [[User:Celtic Minstrel|Celtic Minstrel]] ([[User talk:Celtic Minstrel|talk]]) 03:52, 24 July 2026 (UTC)

Madoka Kaname

2026-07-20T12:37:57Z

Celtic Minstrel: Magia Archive claiming it to be unknown seems a poor reason to state it is unknown when we can clearly see her powers used in the story – we may not know all the details of her powers in non-final timelines, and we may not know her "unique" magic, but we definitely know some things

<blockquote>''"If someone ever tells me it's a mistake to have hope, well, then, I'll just tell them they're wrong. And I'll keep telling them 'til they believe! No matter how many times it takes."'' — Madoka Kaname, [[Madoka Magica Episode 12: My Very Best Friend|Madoka Magica Episode 12]].</blockquote>

{{nihongo|'''Madoka Kaname'''|鹿目まどか|Kaname Madoka}} is the titular and main character of [[Puella Magi Madoka Magica]].

Living an ordinary life, Madoka has a loving family and is surrounded by good friends. One day she has a dream of a mysterious girl fighting an ominous creature. The next day, [[Homura Akemi]], the girl from her dream, comes to her class as a transfer student and changes her life.<ref name='madomagi1'>Shown in [[Madoka Magica Episode 1: I First Met Her in a Dream… or Something]]</ref>

==Appearance==
{{stub}}

===Magical Girl===
{{stub}}

==Personality and Traits==
Madoka first appears to be a naive, gentle girl from a kind family. Though sometimes shy, she makes friends without much difficulty and treats others gently and with respect. Madoka's mother, [[Junko Kaname|Junko]], commented that she has always been a good child and never lies.<ref name='madomagi6'>Shown in [[Madoka Magica Episode 6: This Just Can't Be Right]]</ref>

She has low self-confidence, and she believes she does not have much to offer the world unless she is helping people, which makes becoming a Magical Girl appealing to her.<ref name='madomagi3'>Shown in [[Madoka Magica Episode 3: I'm Not Afraid of Anything Anymore]]</ref> She has been known to become flustered easily, and in certain circumstances, she can be easily manipulated by others playing on her insecurity and desire to help. As a Magical Girl, she is more obviously confident in herself than before her wish.

Madoka always tries to call other main characters their first names with postfix (-chan or -san) if possible, and boys by their family name with the suffix "-kun". It may indicate that she is eager to get close to others. The only exception is [[Kyosuke Kamijo]]. Madoka might think it is not a good idea to get too close to him since she believes he could potentially become Sayaka's boyfriend. This is confirmed in the [[Puella Magi Madoka Magica Portable|PSP game]], when Madoka finally calls him by his first name, after Sayaka made advances with him in one of the endings.

Madoka often tries to help and understand others, even if it doesn’t end particularly well. She’s anxious, scared, and doesn’t fully understand the whole situation, but she desperately tries her best to do so, like when she quickly stops the mass suicide of [[H.N. Elly]]'s Witch kissed victims, knowingly putting herself in danger.<ref name='madomagi4'>Shown in [[Madoka Magica Episode 4: Miracles and Magic Are Real]]</ref>

[[File:Art 02 00 0013 original.png|thumb|left|250px|Madoka helping Homura up]]
A completelly different side of her personality is shown when we see Homura's other timelines. She is shown to be more brave and heoric, working with Mami and being sure of herself. This doesn't come without her usual naivety and kindness, as her wish without Homura's intervening is to save [[Amy]], a cat ran over by a car.<ref name='dramacd1'>Shown in [[Madoka Magica Drama CD 1: Memories of You]]</ref> This radical alteration is the result of Homura's interference by preventing her from becoming a Magical Girl that caused a role reversal.

She is shown to be a level-headed person, capable of making decisions on her own. She also displayed to be a quick thinker in some crucial moments, like when she kills a panicked [[Mami Tomoe]] to prevent her killing [[Homura Akemi]]<ref name='madomagi10'>Shown in [[Madoka Magica Episode 10: I Won't Rely On Anyone Anymore]]</ref>, or when she intercepts [[Sayaka Miki]], who was trying to Connect with Mami, after seeing that [[Yachiyo Nanami]]'s connect failed.<ref name='anireco20'>Shown in [[Magia Record Episode 20: You Don't Know Anything]]</ref>

==Wish==
Because Homura has gone through many timelines, trying desperately to save Madoka<ref name='madomagi10'/>, Madoka's wish is not the same in every timeline.

From what we know until now, she contracted with [[Kyubey]] in order to:
* '''Timeline 1 ~ 4''': {{Q|Please, Kyubey! Save it, [[Amy]]'s life!}} (To revive a cat who had just died in front of her after being hit by a car.) The cat's death was caused by the influence of a familiar ([[Coco]]). This is her original wish, made without Homura's influence.<ref name='s0film0'>Shown in [[Scene 0 Film 0]]</ref><ref name='s0film1'>Shown in [[Scene 0 Film 1]]</ref><ref name='s0film2'>Shown in [[Scene 0 Film 2]]</ref><ref name='s0film3'>Shown in [[Scene 0 Film 3]]</ref>
** This also seems to be Madoka's wish in both the [[Magia Record: Puella Magi Madoka Magica Side Story|Magia Record Game]] and [[Magia Record: Puella Magi Madoka Magica Side Story Anime|Anime]], as Homura started altering Madoka's wish at the same time when she stopped wearing her glasses<ref name='madomagi10'/><ref name='s0film3'/>, but she's still wearing them in Magia Record.<ref name='magirecoa1prologue'>Shown in [[Magia Record Main Story Arc 1 - Prologue]]</ref><ref name='anireco14'>Shown in [[Magia Record Episode 14: I Had a Feeling We Could All Become Magical Girls Together]]</ref>
* '''Timeline 5''': {{Q|I don't want [[Charlotte|that Witch]] to fall into despair anymore.}} (For [[Nagisa Momoe]] to be free from her regrets).<ref name='s0film4'>Shown in [[Scene 0 Film 4]]</ref>
* '''Timeline 6''': To stop [[Sayaka]] from "fighting" against [[Homura]] and [[Mabayu Aki]] (exact wording unknown).<ref name='s0film5'>Shown in [[Scene 0 Film 5]]</ref>
* '''Timeline 7''': {{Q|Sign a contract with me... Please save Sayaka-chan!}} (To recover [[Sayaka]]'s Soul Gem after she threw it from a bridge and it got far away from her body). <ref name='s0film6'>Shown in [[Scene 0 Film 6]]</ref>
* '''Timeline 8''': To prevent Sayaka from turning into a [[Oktavia von Seckendorff|Witch]] (exact wording unknown).<ref name='s0film7'>Shown in [[Scene 0 Film 7]]</ref>
* '''Timeline 9 ~ 12''': Like in the penultimate timeline, to either save Homura from [[Walpurgisnacht]] or obtain the power to defeat Walpurgisnacht. Only the last part of her wish is known: "... I will change the future".<ref name='s0film8'>Shown in [[Scene 0 Film 8]]</ref><ref name='s0film9'>Shown in [[Scene 0 Film 9]]</ref><ref name='s0film10'>Shown in [[Scene 0 Film 10]]</ref><ref name='s0film11'>Shown in [[Scene 0 Film 11]]</ref>

*'''Unknown Timelines''':
** For her family to be happy (exact wording unknown).<ref name='portablesayaka'>Shown in [[Madoka Magica Portable Sayaka Route]]</ref>
** To revive [[Sayaka]] (exact wording unknown).<ref name='differentstory'>Shown in [[Puella Magi Madoka Magica ～The different story～]]</ref>
** {{Q|Please... make me... into a Magical Girl... and make sure that Homura... lives!}}<ref name='homurasrevenge'>Shown in [[Puella Magi Madoka Magica: Homura's Revenge!]]</ref>
* '''Penultimate Timeline''': To either save Homura from [[Walpurgisnacht]] or obtain the power to defeat Walpurgisnacht (exact wording unknown).<ref name='madomagi10'/>
** In Scene 0 it's revealed the last part of her wish to be: {{Q|... I will change the future}}. This seems to be the same wish made by Madoka each time Homura fights Walpurgisnacht on her own, having the same outcome of Madoka turning into a [[Kriemhild Gretchen|Witch]] that will destroy the Earth in 10 days.)
* '''Final Timeline''': {{Q|I wish... I wish I had the power to erase Witches before they're born. Every single Witch from the past, present, and future, everywhere. I don't care what I become. All the Magical Girls who believed in hope and fought Witches, I don't want them to suffer or cry anymore. I want them to be at peace. And if that goes against the laws of the universe, then I'll just rewrite those laws. That's the only thing I want, it's what I wish for. Now! Grant my wish! Incubator!}}<ref name='madomagi12'>Shown in [[Madoka Magica Episode 12: My Very Best Friend]]</ref>

==Powers and Abilities==
[[File:Madoka shooting one arrow.gif|thumb|left]]
When contracted as a Magical Girl, Madoka has displayed the ability to create arrows of energy to attack with and even fire several at once to attack several enemies. It is also to be noted that the amount of power she has seems to depend on the timeline her incarnation is located in as in earlier timelines she had less potential. The stronger her potential, the more power and damage she is seen to inflict upon her foes.
[[File:MadokaSealMovie.png|thumb|Madoka's [[Magic#Magic Seals|Magic Seal]]]]
* She can fire an arrow into the sky onto a huge magical sigil which can fire hundreds of arrows at once.<ref name='madomagi12'/>
* She can charge one arrow which will split into several arrows mid-flight. These trigger a series of explosions once they reach their target.<ref name='anireco14'/>

She has also used her bow in creative ways during challenging battles.
* She can use it as a support to descend from ropes, just like in [[Patricia]]'s labyrinth. Additionally, one more person may hang onto her body to descend with her.<ref name='anireco14'/>
* She can use it to "fire" her teammates instead as a projectile. The person will be thrown at a high speed leaving a pink streak behind and may trigger the explosive power at contact just like her regular arrows.<ref name='anireco14'/>
* While in staff mode, she can throw the bow in a javeline-fashion and pierce the enemy.{{Citation needed}}
* She can use her bow as a melee weapon.<ref name='battlepentagram'>Shown in [[Puella Magi Madoka Magica: The Battle Pentagram]]</ref>

Madoka's exact main magical ability in Madoka Magica is never shown, thus it is unknown what it actually was. In the timeline [[Magia Record: Puella Magi Madoka Magica Side Story|Magia Record]] takes place, it is postulated that Madoka and [[Iroha Tamaki]]'s magic are very similar{{Citation needed}}. As Iroha has healing magic, and Madoka is known to have wished to heal Amy in previous timelines, it is highly likely that she possesses healing magic in this and other timelines.

''For her powers after making her final wish, see [[Ultimate Madoka#Powers and Abilities]].''

==History==
===In [[Puella Magi Madoka Magica|Madoka Magica]]===
{{stub}}

* After Mami's death, Madoka changed her mind about becoming a magical girl.
*In [[Episode 6]], Junko and Madoka had a conversation on how difficult it is to do the right thing, even when no one is in the wrong (per say). Junko's advice was for Madoka to be on the wrong against her friend to solve the problem, even if it means that her friend would hate her for it.
* [[Episode 8]]: Kyubey claimed Madoka's power to be godlike, to the point where she could even change the laws of the universe if she wished for it.
* [[Episode 10]]: In the first timeline, Madoka along with Mami saved Homura from a familiar. She died during the fight with Walpurgis Night. In the second timeline, Madoka turned into a witch for the first time, revealing to Homura the link between magical girls and Witches. In a later timeline, Madoka killed Mami in order to save Homura, as Mami lost control of herself and had just killed Kyoko. This is also the timeline in which Madoka asked Homura to go back in time to prevent her from becoming a magical girl. Madoka's power increased exponentially after every timeline. The first time showed she was an ordinary magical girl. In later timeline she had enough power to defeat Walpurgis in one shot, was capable of destroying the entire planet within 10 days in her witch form, and satisfied all Kyubey's energy quotas of the Earth.
* [[Episode 11]]: Junko confronts Madoka to stop her from getting into the danger of the storm, Madoka reminds her mother that she is a good girl and never does anything wrong but she tells her she needs to do this, a throwback to their earlier conversation. Madoka knows that what she is doing will worry her family, but she also knows that she must disobey her mother to save her family and her town. This conversation between Junko and Madoka earns her mother's trust. Homura's time repeats had linked multiple parallel universes together with Madoka's fate as their center. With every reset, Homura would force yet another parallel universe to be centered around Madoka. The accumulated karma is the reason why Madoka's potential power is so great. Hearing the revelations from Kyubey regarding the history of Magical Girls, Madoka was deeply hurt and thus wanted to save these girls from despair.
* [[Episode 12]]: Madoka wished to erase all witches in every dimension, in every timeline, with her own hands. This created a paradox because Madoka would eventually erase her own witch self, while she must continue to exist and destroy other witches. This paradox resulted in Madoka escaping the bounds of reality and ascending to godhood as [[Ultimate Madoka]]. Since Madoka never existed as a human in this new reality, she is no longer remembered by anyone, except for Homura, and Tatsuya for some reason. Sayaka also remembers her after she passes on and becomes a part of the [[Law of Cycles]], as Sayaka confesses to her in episode 12 that she has caused her best friend a lot of trouble; this could be interpreted as Sayaka having learnt of her unfortunate fate of turning into a witch in the other timelines, an outcome which clearly inflicted a great deal of emotional hurt on Madoka.

===In [[Puella Magi Madoka Magica: Wraith Arc|Wraith Arc]]===
Because Wraith Arc takes place after Madoka becomes a god and is erased, see [[Ultimate Madoka#In Wraith Arc]].

[[File:Wraithmadoka3.png|thumb|200px|Mutant Madoka]]
A mutant [[Wraith]] disguises itself in Madoka's form and helps to assist Homura throughout the story, even going so far as to join in the battle against the mutant Wraiths.
{{stub}}

===In [[Puella Magi Madoka Magica the Movie -Rebellion-|Rebellion]]===
As Ultimate Madoka, she enters Homura's Soul Gem with Sayaka Miki and [[Nagisa Momoe]], which is isolated by Kyubey, who plans on testing Witches and luring the Law of Cycles in. Because of Homura's memory manipulation magic, she completelly forgets her powers and status, believing that she is an ordinary Magical Girl She is reunited with her family, who were also taken into Homura's barrier and had their memories altered.

Along with Sayaka, Kyoko, Mami, and [[Bebe]] (a disguised Nagisa), Madoka fights [[Nightmare]]s, monsters created by Homura's barrier. Kyubey recognizes Madoka as the Law of Cycles but is unable to determine the nature of her powers. He decides to stay close to Madoka, pretending to be a harmless animal-like helper. Eventually Homura appears in her barrier and joins the other Magical Girls.

Homura's journey of realizing the truth brings her into contact and conflict with the other Magical Girls. Madoka comes to Homura and offers to listen to her problems. Homura tries to tell Madoka about her fate of becoming erased, framing it as a dream she had. Madoka tells Homura that it sounds like a bad dream, and reassures Homura that she would never want to go away to a place where she can't see anyone again. This makes Homura believe that Madoka isn't happy being the Law of Cycles, and that she should have stopped Madoka from sacrificing herself. Homura then decides to believe that Madoka is real (having wondered if Madoka was an illusion), and begins to realize that she herself is the Witch.

Homura transforms into her Witch form, [[Homulilly]], and marches to her death. Fortunately, Sayaka and Nagisa have explained everything to the other Magical Girls, and they have a plan to save Homura. Madoka and Nagisa use their magic to attack the ceiling of Homulilly's barrier, while the other Magical Girls, the summoned familiars, and [[Oktavia]] hold off Homulilly and her army of familiars. Ultimately, Madoka destroys the ceiling of the barrier, revealing Kyubey's Isolation Field. Madoka then reaches out to Homura's humanity and the two girls combine their powers to destroy the Isolation Field from the inside, completely foiling Kyubey's plan.

With the Isolation Field destroyed, all the Magical Girls reappear in the real world. Madoka's memories and powers return to her and she transforms back into Ultimate Madoka. As she comes down to take Homura's Soul Gem into the Law of Cycles, Homura grabs her hands. Homura's Soul Gem turns black, and then fills with a new color, Madoka starts to struggle is then separated from the Law of Cycles. Homura hugs her and takes her into her new world.

Homura has now become a new existence, which she defines as a demon. She explains that she took a piece of the Law of Cycles, which corresponds to Madoka's existence as a person before she became the Law of Cycles. Homura creates a new world where the Magical Girls can be alive and happy, although she alters their memories to fit with the new world. In this new reality, Madoka believes she has spent three years in America with her family, and they have just moved back to Japan. Madoka transfers into her class from the original reality, reversing her role with Homura's. Homura introduces herself to Madoka and offers to show her around the school. As they walk together, Homura asks Madoka how she feels returning to her hometown. Madoka says it feels familiar, but something feels different.
[[File:Madoka remembers.gif|thumb]]
As the keep walking, Madoka realizes that the thing that feels different is herself. Her eyes glow gold, her yellow hair ribbons untie themselves, and reality changes. Homura grabs onto Madoka and says that Madoka is her true self right now, returning Madoka and reality to normal. Homura asks Madoka if she thinks the world is precious, and if she thinks either laws or desires are more important. Madoka thinks that law is more important, saying that selfishly breaking the law is a bad thing. Homura takes off the hair ribbon she received from Madoka and says that she and Madoka might become enemies someday. She ties the ribbon into Madoka's hair, saying that she doesn't care about being Madoka's enemy as she just wants a world where Madoka can be happy. In one of the final scenes of the movie, Madoka is shown happily unpacking boxes with her family.

===In the Drama CDs===
====[[Madoka Magica Drama CD 1: Memories of You|Drama CD 1: Memories of You]]====
{{stub}}
The reason Madoka became a Magical Girl in the first timeline is to save a cat which had been run over by a car. Madoka also treated Homura very nicely from the beginning, who at that time was being bullied. We also learn that whenever Madoka made a contract and become a Magical Girl, she would act much more confident since it gave her a sense of purpose. Madoka's kindness in this first timeline towards Homura is one of the major reasons why Homura is so drawn to her. Homura's interventions during the course of the anime prevented this change.

Madoka ''used'' to get good grades, but her duties as a Magical Girl are interfering with her studies. For what is worth, Madoka's grades are still better than Sayaka's.

<blockquote>''"Mami, does that mean to save yourself, you have to give up on all the Magical Girls who aren't your friends...?"'' - Madoka, [[The Different Story: Episode 5]].</blockquote>
{{stub}}
Madoka first appears at the very end of volume 1, waking Mami up in her apartment in order to get her help stop Kyoko and Sayaka's fight. She has not contracted yet in this timeline, but accompanies Mami and Sayaka on their Witch hunts.

Madoka is worried about Sayaka, and always thinks how to help her. She tells Kyousuke about how his wrist was healed with Sayaka's wish. This doesn't help Sayaka in the end, however.

Madoka makes her wish to revive Sayaka and becomes a Magical Girl at the very end of this story, this causes Homura to give up on this timeline. Madoka doesn't know the truth about the magical girl system. She thinks Sayaka was killed by Witches because Homura told her so. Madoka meets Kyoko after being helped by her and Homura. They become friends secretly and tell each other about another side of Sayaka and Mami.

===In [[Puella Magi Kazumi Magica: The innocent malice|Kazumi Magica]]===
[[File:Kazumi madoka.jpg|thumb|200px|Madoka and Kyubey's silhouettes in ''Kazumi Magica'']]
Madoka's only appearance in Kazumi Magica is a silhouette, shown during [[Juubey]]'s explanation of the Magical Girl system.

She also makes a single-panel cameo in the extra pages in the first volume of the collected edition.

===In [[Puella Magi Oriko Magica|Oriko Magica]]===
[[File:MadokainOriko.png|thumb|150px|Madoka in ''Oriko Magica'']]
<blockquote>''"How can you act so calm about all this? Why? Why am I the only one you're saving? You've got so much power Homura!!" "If you plan to let all the others die...then it'd be better if you didn't save me...!"'' - Madoka, [[Oriko Magica Chapter 5: That Is Why I Am Here|Oriko Magica, Chapter 5]].</blockquote>

Madoka first appears in Chapter 3, asking [[Homura]] to go home with her, along with [[Sayaka]] and [[Hitomi]]. She is well protected by Homura and isn't aware of Magical Girl system.

She appears in Chapter 4 for one page. She is shown with her friends Homura, Sayaka and Hitomi going out for snacks after school.

In chapters 5 through 7, Mitakihara Junior High is attacked by [[Oriko]] and [[Kirika]]. Oriko speaks to the school through the school's broadcast system, and seems to give a threatening look to Madoka as she claims she will defeat a [[Kriemhild Gretchen|creature of ultimate despair]] that will descend upon them. As a [[Latria|Witch]]'s barrier forms over the school, Madoka is separated from her friends attacked by familiars. Homura saves her in time, but Madoka demands to know why she does not help the other students. Homura knows she cannot save everyone, and wanted to try to save Madoka anyway. Madoka apologizes as Homura puts her in a protective barrier so familiars cannot attack her and leaves to defeat the perpetrators. Madoka escapes from the protective barrier created by Homura and tries to help Homura with Sayaka and Hitomi. Madoka was Oriko's real target. The white Magical Girl wanted to kill her before she could contract and become a Magical Girl herself, and then the most powerful witch ever. She is killed by Oriko at the very end. Oriko uses a shard of Kirika's witch body to impale Madoka through the torso. Once Oriko dies and the Witch barrier is lifted, Hitomi and Sayaka are seen mourning for Madoka.

====[[Madoka Magica Portable Madoka Route|Madoka's Route]]====
[[File:Hira080920.jpg|thumb|left|Madoka making a wish to save Sayaka]]
In Madoka's Route, the story plays out similarly to the anime except from the ending where it acts out like in [[Madoka Magica Episode 8: I Was Stupid… So Stupid|Episode 8]] where Kyubey asks Madoka to make a wish to save Sayaka. Homura does not make it in time to stop Madoka contracting and she resets. There are also a few minor differences. Madoka remembers her dream of Walpurgisnacht and Homura far more vividly and tells her family at breakfast about it but not Sayaka and Hitomi. She is also visibly distraught about the Witch kissed victims - especially Hitomi - after Sayaka defeats H.N. Elly. She encourages Hitomi to pursue her love interest, not realising it's Kyosuke. She encounters Kyosuke's father after Kyosuke tells him to throw away his violin and persuades him otherwise.

====[[Madoka Magica Portable Mami Route|Mami's Route]]====
[[File:Madoka amy wish psp.png|thumb|Madoka after wishing to save Amy]]
In Mami's Route, Madoka is already a Magical Girl and saves Mami from Charlotte. They decide to team up, with Mami teaching Madoka. It is revealed that Madoka's wish during this route was to save Amy. The route then plays out like [[Madoka Magica Episode 10: I Won't Rely On Anyone Anymore|Episode 10]] with Homura and Madoka growing close.

[[File:Madoka crying mami dead psp.png|thumb|left|Madoka crying over Mami]]
If Mami calls for Madoka's help with a Witch kissed victim, the two of them fight [[Gisela]] together. Mami explains her insecurities about Madoka and Homura growing close and perhaps leaving her out and the two of them manage to talk through her feelings, growing closer because of it. Later, the two of them fight Walpurgisnacht together. Mami sacrifices herself to save Madoka and the route plays out just like [[Madoka Magica Episode 10: I Won't Rely On Anyone Anymore|Episode 10]] where Madoka dies and Homura makes her wish.

If Mami does not call for Madoka's help, she fights Gisela alone. Although she defeats the Witch, she falls into despair, becoming [[Candeloro]]. Madoka has to defeat Candeloro but can also die during the fight, causing Homura to make the same wish as if she dies to Walpurgisnacht. Afterwards, Madoka mourns not being able to find a way to turn Candeloro back into Mami.
{{-}}

====[[Madoka Magica Portable Sayaka Route|Sayaka's Route]]====
In Sayaka's Route, Madoka is already a magical girl alongside Mami and Homura still with her glasses. During the route, the three of them intercept a fight between Sayaka and Kyoko. The team were unaware Sayaka was a magical girl and they team up. Later, after Sayaka and Kyoko escape Charlotte's labyrinth, Sayaka discards her Soul Gem, thinking she is worthless as a magical girl. Madoka and Homura find her unconscious and seemingly dead. The two of them go hunting for Sayaka's Soul Gem which ended up in Charlotte's labyrinth.

If her Soul Gem is found, Sayaka fights Walpurgisnacht with Madoka and Homura. The three of them aren't able to defeat Walpurgisnacht but the town is evacuated in time. Both Madoka and Sayaka die and Homura resets.

If Sayaka doesn't meet with Kyoko after regaining her Soul Gem, she falls into despair and turns into Oktavia. The route plays out similar to Episode 9 where Kyoko sacrifices herself to defeat Oktavia. After this, Madoka falls into a deep depression, locking herself in her room. Homura manages to get through to her and they prepare for Walpurgisnacht but it plays out the same way.

If Sayaka's Soul Gem isn't found by Madoka and Homura, Kyoko finds it instead and Sayaka awakens. However, since so much time had passed, Sayaka's body had begun to rot. She unknowingly visits Kyosuke in this state and very quickly falls into despair with the events playing out like the previous path.

====[[Madoka Magica Portable Kyoko Route|Kyoko's Route]]====
In Kyoko's Route, Madoka first plays a vital role when she throws Sayaka's Soul Gem just like in the anime with the same results. Madoka tries to console Sayaka about the new discovery but Sayaka is already torn up about Hitomi telling her about her feelings for Kyosuke. Madoka ponders making a contract with Kyubey but both Sayaka and Kyoko tell her not to. The route then plays out similarly to [[Madoka Magica Episode 9: I'd Never Allow That to Happen|Episode 9]] where Sayaka becomes [[Oktavia]] at the train station and Kyoko and Madoka try to turn her back however Homura has already killed Oktavia when they arrive.

If Kyoko's Soul Gem isn't too dark, Madoka manages to stop Kyoko from advancing on Homura and she leaves. Madoka and Kyoko converse in Kyoko's father's church, the two growing closer. Kyoko and Homura attempt to defeat Walpurgisnacht but fail with Madoka contracting and becoming Kriemhild Gretchen.

If Kyoko's Soul Gem is too dark after Homura kills Oktavia, she transforms into her Witch, [[Ophelia]], which Homura kills. Madoka becomes depressed after both Sayaka and Kyoko were killed in such a short time and tries to visit Homura. Homura continues to tell her not to contract and also asks her not to visit her anymore. Walpurgisnacht comes and the events play out similarly to any failed timeline.

====[[Madoka Magica Portable Homura Route|Homura's Route]]====
In Homura's Route, Madoka and Sayaka are called by Kyubey to help just like in the anime.

If Homura chooses to capture Kyubey, Homura tells the two of them to leave as she defeats Gertrud in the abandoned building. The next day Kyubey explains Magical Girls to the two girls, explaining that Homura is a Magical Girl herself. Homura however soon arrives, sending Kyubey away and warning that becoming a magical girl means giving up on everything else except your wish. Later in the evening, Homura visits Madoka's home to warn her further. Just like in the anime, Mami suggests to Madoka and Sayaka that they join her on a witch hunt to understand magical girls but differently, Homura stops this idea. That night, Homura meets Madoka and Sayaka on the street and has dinner with them. Homura, in her own words, tells them about magical girls. She also tells them that she became a magical girl to save an important friend. If Homura instead chooses to kill Kyubey on the first day, another Kyubey merely appears and approaches Madoka similarly to the anime.

Homura has to stop Sayaka from contracting. If Homura asks Madoka to deal with it she visits her home. Although Madoka is busy when Homura visits, she promises to contact Sayaka. Despite both their best efforts, Sayaka contracts anyway. Madoka is surprised and concerned but Sayaka states that she is confident with her decision. If Homura instead decides to stop Sayaka contracting herself, Sayaka refuses Kyubey's offer realising there may be another way to help Kyosuke. The next day Homura finds Hitomi and Madoka along with people affected by a witch's kiss attempting to commit mass suicide. Homura defeats the witch after asking Madoka to leave. Later, Homura stops Kyosuke from committing suicide and decides its best to look after Sayaka. She can either look after her herself or ask Madoka. If Homura looks after Sayaka herself she will contract.

If Sayaka has contracted, Kyubey begins to approach Madoka to usher her into becoming a magical girl to aid Sayaka. Homura continues to stop Kyubey's efforts. Madoka is worried about Sayaka and Homura meets her to talk. Their talk is similar to what occurs in episode five; however, this time, Homura promises to take care of Sayaka and Mami, warning Madoka once again not to make a contract. Later, Homura finds the barrier of the Albertine's familiars, and discovers Sayaka and Kyoko fighting inside. Even worse, Madoka is also present, so she goes to separate them. She then asks Madoka to bring the hurt Sayaka away and consults Kyoko on what to do next. Kyoko says she has no interest in fighting familiars so she leaves everything to Homura. The next evening, Homura finds Madoka coming to her for help. Kyoko and Sayaka are fighting on the overpass. Homura requests Kyoko fight her instead. Kyoko thinks it almost impossible to win, so she pretends to give up. However, she strikes Sayaka's Soul Gem when Homura is off guard. Sayaka's Soul Gem drops onto a truck, continuing the story as per the anime. If Mami is alive, instead, her Soul Gem is knocked away. The next day, Hitomi confesses her feelings to Sayaka with both Madoka and Homura trying to console her but Sayaka insists on being left alone. Homura finds Madoka having an argument with Hitomi. Hitomi refuses Madoka's suggestions and leaves. Madoka wonders if Sayaka won't listen to her because she isn't a magical girl. Homura says that Sayaka wouldn't listen even if she were, and counsels that they just keep watch for now. Later, Sayaka is missing with nobody knowing where she is and her Soul Gem in a darkened state.

If Homura goes to search for Sayaka with Kyoko, Sayaka is found easily and the four magical girls plan for Walpurgisnacht. Kyubey comes to Madoka's house and tells her the history of magical girls and witches and the theory of energy transformation. Madoka visits Homura because she is worried about her and the other girls. Homura acts the same way as she did in the anime, hugging Madoka and confessing her true identity. Walpurgisnacht comes to Mitakihara and all of the magical girls are ready to fight. Madoka is with them, wishing to be of help. Homura then tells Madoka and everyone else that the very person she wishes to save and who she made her contract for is Madoka. Everything is meaningless for Homura if something bad happens to Madoka. Madoka agrees to leave, consoling herself by praying for the girls' safety. The fight against Walpurgisnacht begins. After Walpurgisnacht is defeated, Madoka meets up with the others and is dismayed to see everyone badly wounded. Homura reassures her that magic can heal them all. Sometime later, on the way to school, Sayaka mentions that the number of witches has greatly declined of late. Madoka worries that this might lead to a lack of Grief Seeds, but Homura has ensured that the girls have plenty stockpiled: since they won't have to use their magic to fight Witches, the Grief Seeds that are left will last them a long time. Mami holds a tea party, claiming it is going to be an operational meeting. Everyone goes to Mami's tea party and Sayaka forces Kyoko to put on one of Mami's spare school uniforms. The scenario ends with a picture of the girls having their tea party, with the line 'This is my prayer, my wish...' written in English appearing on the screen.

If Homura goes to search for Sayaka with Madoka, the two of them search at a resteraunt where they meet Kyousuke and Hitomi hand in hand. Madoka congratulates them and leaves, upset that Kyousuke doesn't know Sayaka's feelings for him. Homura replies that a magical girl should not expect a reward. The next day, Homura finds Sayaka, who has just finished fighting familiars. Sayaka refuses Homura's offer of a Grief Seed, and she critizes Madoka for not understanding her (as in episode eight). She then runs away, and Homura knows that it is impossible to rescue her.

If Homura goes to search for Sayaka with Mami they find her in the park. This route gives a similar result as if Homura searched with Madoka. Sayaka falls into despair, becoming Oktavia. ''Homura can either kill the Witch immediately or tell the other girls the truth about Witches.''

If Homura decides to kill Oktavia, she tells the others that Sayaka is already dead, with Oktavia killing her and that they must avenge her. Madoka arrives once Oktavia is dead. Homura tells Madoka to remember the pain she feels upon hearing of Sayaka's death, so that she should never think about becoming a magical girl again. The next day, Madoka and Homura are walking together to school, and they see Hitomi asking if Sayaka has appeared today. They don't tell her that she is gone. Madoka, Homura, Mami and Kyoko hold a funeral for Sayaka. Since Madoka can't say goodbye to Sayaka, Mami suggests they make new resolutions for the future. Some time later, Kyubey comes to Madoka's room to tell her that Sayaka had become a witch, and so too will the other magical girls. Madoka doesn't understand it, so she goes to Homura. Homura explains that Kyubey is an Incubator, an alien with inhuman codes of morality. She then explains what Kyubey should have said to Madoka. Homura says she only hopes to change Madoka's fate and breaks into tears as in episode eleven. After Madoka leaves, Kyubey comes to tell Homura why Madoka can become such an extraordinary magical girl. This route ends with the girls being unable to defeat Walpurgisnacht and Madoka contracting.

If Homura tells them the truth about Witches they leave Oktavia's barrier. Madoka arrives with Homura still holding Sayaka's body so she has to tell her the truth as well. Madoak runs away, unable to face the situation. ''After this, Homura can either kill Oktavia herself or follow Madoka and Kyoko into her barrier.''

[[File:Madoka Portable Homura Goodnight.jpg|thumb|Madoka crying over Homura]]
If Homura decides to kill Oktavia herself, Kyoko is furious and wants to kill Homura for destroying her last hope of saving Sayaka but Madoka stops her, saying it won't bring Sayaka back to life. Kyoko cuts all ties with Homura then and there, saying she never wants to see her again before leaving. The next day, Madoka asks why Homura killed Sayaka. Homura explains that it was impossible to bring Sayaka back and that Kyoko would have just put Madoka in danger for no reason. They have the same meeting as in episode 11. When Walpurgisnacht comes, Madoka comes to Homura. Homura asks her to go to the refuge, but Madoka says she doesn't want to forget her time spent with Homura; that she doesn't want the happiness of an ordinary girl. Homura replies that Madoka is her only hope, so she has to survive. Homura finally defeats Walpurgisnacht and ends up dying to save Madoka. After her last words Kyubey remarks that, although Homura stopped his plans this time, he need only wait until another crisis strikes Mitakihara.

If Homura instead follows the two girls she interferes before Oktavia attacks Madoka. With no other choice, she kills Oktavia. She tells the two that Sayaka's Soul Gem didn't emerge and Kyoko leaves, distraught. Madoka reminds Homura that Mami is shocked, too, so they go to Mami's place. Since she isn't at home, Madoka thinks she must be in the park. When they arrive at the park, they see Mami preparing to commit suicide. Madoka stops her, and Homura reassures Mami that she can always call on her fellow magical girls. They still have a mission: to defeat Walpurgisnacht and protect the people of Mitakihara. Finally Mami is convinced and agrees to prepare for Walpurgisnacht. This route ends with Madoka making a contract.

If Sayaka doesn't contract, Hitomi offers Kyosuke help from a doctor her father knows who has helped an injured musician before. Sayaka realises her feelings for Kyosuke and tells him with him accepting her confession. Now that Sayaka and Kyosuke are together, Madoka grows lonely so one day visits the music store with Homura. Madoka tells Homura that she feels like they have met somewhere before, and recently she has seen Homura in her dreams. Homura answers that they hadn't met one another until she transferred into Mitakihara Middle School. Homura keeps a distance between herself and Madoka, so as not to let Madoka grow attached enough to her to make a contract for her. Several days later, however, Kyoko tells Homura that Kyubey had told her that Madoka has vast [[potential]] as a Magical Girl. Homura interrupts, saying she won't allow Madoka to become a magical girl. Kyoko finally knows the person Homura wants to protect is Madoka. She tells Homura that it is useless for her to convince Madoka not to make a contract. Madoka invites Homura to her home for dinner. Although Homura originally thinks it is a bad idea, she is finally convinced and eats dinner with the Kaname family. After dinner, Madoka tells Homura that she is welcome to come and visit her any time. Homura thinks this will be okay, after she defeats Walpurgisnacht. By now, Kyubey is anxious because Madoka seems to have no interest in making a contract. As such, he decides to tell everything to her. As in the anime, Madoka visits Homura's house afterwards. Homura defeats Walpurgisnacht and Madoka never contracts.

====[[Madoka Magica Portable Bonus Route|Bonus Route]]====
In the Bonus Route Homura strives to help each girl individually. Madoka sees how everyone has changed themselves and she is worried about herself. However, she doesn't know how she should change. Homura comes to her room and slaps her after Madoka talks about how useless she feels. Homura requests that Madoka not change herself.

** The name Madoka can be written with the character for "circle" or "round" in kanji (円) reflecting the cyclical nature of the Magical Girl-Witch Incubator relationship as well as the circular repetition of timelines that revolve around her. It could also be written with the character for "wish" or "ambition"; the connotations of that should be obvious. Her last name, Kaname, can also be read as "pivot" or "vital point", which is apt to say the least due to Homura's time-meddling making Madoka's existence the pivotal point of every timeline she creates.

Celtic Minstrel: /* Exedra Quest */

"Eri Kitamura (Sayaka) likes the company of other seiyuu, besides Ai Nonaka (Kyoko)."
This statement is vague. Does this mean that she enjoys the company of other seiyuus in addition to Ai Nonaka, or except Ai Nonaka? "Besides" can be used both ways. Is there more known about KitaEri's and Nonaka's relationship? Statements like this (http://wiki.puella-magi.net/File:Twitter_comment.jpg) make it seem like they're friendly, while statements like "Kitamura-san and Nonaka-san were very good-natured. Thanks to their politeness and kindness, the recording went smoothly despite a bit of tension." in the "And I'm Home" page make it look like they dislike each other. Can anyone clarify?
[[Special:Contributions/79.177.197.86|79.177.197.86]] 19:29, 3 October 2013 (UTC)MrParanoid
:It's probably supposed to be in addition to Ai Nonaka. I haven't seen anything that would imply that they dislike each other (the tension referenced in the "And I'm Home" tweet could be about the recording itself, or something different). Publicly, [http://i.imgur.com/8h7LcLv.jpg they seem to get along rather well].--[[User:Knon|Knon]] 10:49, 4 October 2013 (UTC)

it seems like she became a witch in the train scene in episode 8. but after that scene she was back normal when kyouko talked to her only to transform really into a witch with grief seed then.
questions:

:1. Does a witch hold her original form after the first transformation and becomes a real witch sometime later when her grief increases?
:2. if 1. is right, would there still be a change to save her from becoming a witch (first transformation as alert)?
:3.does the colour of sayaka´s soul gem before becoming a grief seed have a connection with a picture (i´m sure i´ve seen one like this)?
:4.Can Sayaka´s witch form evolve or fuse with other witches (on walpurgisnacht)?

:I guess we'll found that out by the next episode, but she probably "temporary" transformed in that train scene. (Just like mahou shoujo transformation, but more on witch's side). --[[User:0x99|0x99]] 16:59, 27 February 2011 (UTC)

Learn some French, petit means small, or little, not petty. Not even almost.
And a bourgeoise was a member of the upper class, not middle class. [[Special:Contributions/85.230.122.238|85.230.122.238]] 15:23, 8 April 2011 (UTC)

--Not quite. Setting aside the fact that "little bourgeois" should be rendered as "petite bourgeoise" in Sayaka's case, "petite bourgeoisie" literally does mean "petty bourgeoisie" (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Petite_bourgeoisie), and explicitly refers to the middle class of small shop-owners, government employees, etc; the bourgeoisie are traditionally the owners of capital, which in Japan's economic system could mean either the upper or middle classes. Sayaka's family can definitely be considered bourgeois, as they can afford to send their daughter to a private school and live in a large, well-decorated apartment.

== episode 12 ==

sayaka did also die in the world madoka created and madoka shows her kamijous concert before the soul is taken in by her

* Sayaka is someone who is willing to sacrifice herself but needs to know the meaning. In previous timelines, her motivation is gaining Kamijou's love. She regretted to become a puella magi if she failed to get this as return. In the new timeline, however, Madoka indicated her the meaning of her sacrifice. Although she still unable to win Kamijou's love, Kamijou's performance won't be heard and accepted without her sacrifice. Knowing this, she can gone peacefully. This scene may also imply that many puellae magi, like her, can finally found the meaning of their sacrifices. [[User:Yorkwoo|Yorkwoo]] 01:28, 20 August 2011 (UTC)

::From the anime, Madoka purified all the corrupted soul gems of the mahou shoujo and letting them passed away in peace. However, Sayaka was the one exception. Though she should have vanished along when her soul gem was corrupted in Madoka's new world, she was still able to manifest herself and listen to Kamijou's performance. Is it because Madoka wanting to let her leave without any regrets? and someone writing about Sayaka becoming a goddess, where did the idea came from? [[User:Demonicslayer|Demonicslayer]] 16:19, 15 January 2012 (UTC)
:::In my guess, they are just in different perspective. For others, the magical girl is disappeared. But in the magical girl's viewpoint, she is brought to see what good job she did so that she can pass away without regret. [[User:Yorkwoo|Yorkwoo]] 17:43, 15 January 2012 (UTC)
:::But it's also implied that in the new universe, dying puellae magi go to a mahou-shoujo heaven that Madoka has for them.

==Sayaka's weapon enhanced==
In early proposal, Sayaka is fighting Kyoko from EP5(or 4) to EP9. She is supposed to be much more powerful than in anime or she cannot withstand Kyoko. Another possibility is that she might be that powerful in some timelines we didn't see. I'll upload another picture later. [[User:Yorkwoo|Yorkwoo]] 14:53, 9 September 2011 (UTC)

==Sayaka's Zombie Body==

==Sayaka's Soul Gem Motif==

So I made a little theory about Sayaka's Soul Gem motif - C. In Speculations/Observations, it was left that it's a connection between Sayaka and music, and that C is a note. I think it has a deeper meaning.

I already posted my theory on tumblr, but I rarely get any feedback on there so I thought someone here would correct me or something.

Now, I’m sorry if you have a hard time keeping up with me and stuff, but English isn’t my native language and I’m not really good with musical terms in it, so with the help of Wikipedia I’ll try to explain this.

So you all know the C symbol that dominates Sayaka’s soul gem, right?
And sure, C IS the first note and all that but.. it surprised me that nobody thought of it this way:

While I was still in music school, we were taught how to read, write and compose our own music. And naturally, with that, we were taught time signatures. And this is where shit gets serious.

The time signature 4/4 can also be represented by the Common time signature. The symbol for Common Time? It’s C.

C = 4/4.

In Episode 4, Sayaka becomes a magical girl.

In Episode 8, Sayaka turns into a witch; 4+4=8, right?

So by her Soul Gem, we could already see that she would turn into a witch in 4 episodes after she becomes a Puella Magi.

Her Soul Gem foreshadowed her demise.

Just like little Anthonies foreshadowed Mami’s.

It’s my theory, it may sound a little stupid, but I think it’s kinda creepy. --[[User:Killwitches-getbitches|Killwitches-getbitches]] 18:49, 25 August 2012 (UTC)

== How much does Sayaka remember after The Rebellion Story ==

{{spoiler|Sayaka was clearly extremely happy to see Hitomi and Kyousuke which shows she must have at least some memory of the past universes, and immediately afterwords we see that she has a ring and a dot on her fingernail.}}

==Sayaka's Devotion==

The page says that she is a devoted friend, "for the most part". If I may ask, what does she do that ever shows a lack of devotion? Her three friends (excluding Kyoko who she had a rough relationship with until the end, anyway) are Madoka, Hitomi, and Kyosuke. She rescues Madoka, and does everything she can to protect her (and the entirety of Mitakihara) until she becomes a witch, and she lets Hitomi have Kyosuke, and in Drama CDs and Rebellion, she is shown protecting Hitomi with her powers as a magical girl too. As for Kyosuke, she became a magical girl in order to heal him. So what exactly is NOT devoted about her? [[User:SAYAKAMI|SAYAKAMI]] 14:46, 16 March 2015 (UTC)

== The 'Personality' sections ==

I noticed someone came here a while ago and changed it up to be very short & sweet with simple words compared to the previous lengthy one. It's inconsistent with the personality sections from the other characters so far. Hell, Kyoko doesn't even have anything put up in hers and that should be changed unless we drop it! But for Sayaka here-- are we gonna keep it and change stuff, or are we gonna put a lengthy description back again? Leave it be? --[[User:SayakaVonSeckendorff|SayakaVonSeckendorff]] 16:50, 9 April 2015 (UTC)

: I dont have it (at most a screenshot), but I wanna ask, do versions of characters like alt Sayaka deserve their own pages? I know that by that logic we would make way too many pages, like each for a character in the Magireco universe, but magireco (imo) can be treated almost like a timeline, where stuff is different but the backstories are the same, while in these cases its directly different. - [[User:TheresaFrog421|TheresaFrog421]] ([[User talk:TheresaFrog421|talk]]) 10:25, 7 July 2026 (UTC)
:: I suggest we get started with assimilating the character pages into one as the plan has been. ~ [[User:Sweet Beanie|Sweet Beanie]] ([[User talk:Sweet Beanie|talk]]) 12:26, 7 July 2026 (UTC)
::: Yeah I was planning on suggesting it after I finish working on the Magireco Events but that's gonna take a while so i think it would be better to start now, though there's still stuff to be done like moving trivia. I know I also had to finish the video galleries but imo theyre not important enough to hold the whole thing before its done. - [[User:TheresaFrog421|TheresaFrog421]] ([[User talk:TheresaFrog421|talk]]) 12:37, 7 July 2026 (UTC)
:::: I think almost no alts deserve their own character page. Madoka and Homura can be special exceptions since they're central to the storyline, but I wouldn't make a separate character page for Infinity Iroha or alt Sayaka or anyone else. ~ [[User:Celtic Minstrel|Celtic Minstrel]] ([[User talk:Celtic Minstrel|talk]]) 18:13, 7 July 2026 (UTC)
::::: I think it would just be nice to separate them, I mean we know 100% that Alt Sayaka's wish is different, her Soul Gem placement is and her eyes are yellow when she's transformed. I feel like all this info will be put into the infobox and just clutter it up, I mean we already separate the Magia Report characters, and theyre considered alt universe versions of characters. - [[User:TheresaFrog421|TheresaFrog421]] ([[User talk:TheresaFrog421|talk]]) 21:37, 7 July 2026 (UTC)
:::::: This Sayaka, unlike Swimsuit Mami, isn't an alt form that the character has taken. This is an alternate version of Sayaka and I highly doubt she will be relevant or brought back after Chapter 1. I think many wikis deal with this thing where there's an "upside down" version of a character. Unless she'd warrant a really small article, I'd say we can go ahead and give her her own article (once we find out a way to call her). If in the future we see just l2d versions of evil kanoko for example and nothing else ever, then I wouldn't split her into her own page. Overall I think it's okay to wait until her unit gets released or Chapter 1 Part 2 gets released. ~ [[User:Sweet Beanie|Sweet Beanie]] ([[User talk:Sweet Beanie|talk]]) 13:16, 8 July 2026 (UTC)
::::::: But we don't separate Madoka just because her wish is different. She must have at least five or six different wishes, depending on the timeline. Admittedly, they never changed her ''costume'', but still – fundamentally both Sayakas are the same person, just with a few slightly different choices. Obviously alt Sayaka should have her own ''unit'' page if she's released as playable, but there's no need for her to have her own ''character'' page.
::::::: And Magia Report isn't really related to this. Those characters only bear a vaguely passing resemblance to the main story characters, in that they have the same name and a sort of similar appearance. In every other way they're completely different from the canon characters. Just pick pretty much any fact about the canon characters, and you'll find it doesn't really apply to their Magia Report counterpart. ~ [[User:Celtic Minstrel|Celtic Minstrel]] ([[User talk:Celtic Minstrel|talk]]) 02:19, 9 July 2026 (UTC)
:::::::: I mean Madoka having a different Wishes doesn't change her personality or past, both things that are different for Alt Sayaka, also Exedra Quest makes a big deal about her being different from her usual self. Like Sweet Beanie said we should wait for more info about her to do this anyway but right now your explanation of Magirepo characters fits Alt Sayaka. - [[User:TheresaFrog421|TheresaFrog421]] ([[User talk:TheresaFrog421|talk]]) 08:19, 9 July 2026 (UTC)
::::::::: Well no, it doesn't. That Sayaka has the same past and is recognizably the same person. The difference in her personality isn't to the degree that she seems like an entirely different person. The Iroha and Madoka of Magia Report do not have the same past and are like completely different people – it's more like they're cosplaying as Iroha and Madoka (and doing a very, very bad job of it) rather than being actual alternate versions of Iroha and Madoka. And of course that's not limited to just those two in Magia Report – it applies to all the characters. ~ [[User:Celtic Minstrel|Celtic Minstrel]] ([[User talk:Celtic Minstrel|talk]]) 12:45, 10 July 2026 (UTC)
:::::::::: I mean yeah its not near to the degree of Magirepo characters but still, her personality is different enough to both cause an anomaly in the universe and change her outfit. Also her past is 100% different, maybe it is just barely different (like Kyosuke never got injured so he just got with Hitomi quicker and thats all) but it cant be called the same, especially when Kyosuke is such a big part of Sayaka's motivations. We do have to wait until we learn more but right now Im still for her having her own page. - [[User:TheresaFrog421|TheresaFrog421]] ([[User talk:TheresaFrog421|talk]]) 13:06, 10 July 2026 (UTC)
::::::::::: Her past is broadly the same. There are of course small differences, but it's mostly the same. We can't even conclude that Kyosuke never got injured, can we? It's possible he was injured and she used her wish to make it like it never happened, instead of healing him. ~ [[User:Celtic Minstrel|Celtic Minstrel]] ([[User talk:Celtic Minstrel|talk]]) 13:14, 10 July 2026 (UTC)
:::::::::::: Lets just wait until we know for sure and then revive this topic T-T. - [[User:TheresaFrog421|TheresaFrog421]] ([[User talk:TheresaFrog421|talk]]) 13:21, 10 July 2026 (UTC)
::::::::::::: It's very unlikely that new information would matter here. The divide between this alt Sayaka and regular Sayaka is very small. The divide between MagiRepo Iroha and regular Iroha is huge. So there's no reason to consider this alt Sayaka as a separate character. If some crazy reveal in later Exedra Quest chapters upends this understanding, then fine; but it would need to be at the level of "it was actually just a dream" to do that. ~ [[User:Celtic Minstrel|Celtic Minstrel]] ([[User talk:Celtic Minstrel|talk]]) 18:19, 10 July 2026 (UTC)

'''Re: the character table / infobox...'''

I really think it makes more sense for information like "voice actor" or "character designer" to be put off to the side in a less conspicuous place, while information like "age" or "date of birth" or "school" is placed front and centre. So I think it might be a tough sell to argue for something that merges both those sets of information into a single table.

My main concern about placing the latter set of information in the infobox is the fact that some pages are ''dual characters''. The existing table is set up to handle multiple characters in one table, but the infobox is decidedly not.

'''Re: etymology'''

For this one, I'd say we just need to decide where it goes. It doesn't necessarily need to be an entire section of its own, though I think there may be a few characters where the etymology section could actually be a paragraph or two.

This suggestion:

<blockquote>
since an etymology section would be short, maybe at the very end somewhere? after trivia but before the notes.
</blockquote>

...seems quite reasonable.

'''Re: powers and abilities'''

I'm not sure I agree with this statement:

<blockquote>
a lot of characters don't have powers that can be extensively written about.
</blockquote>

I think it should be possible to get at least one paragraph for every character. For characters that appear in anime or manga, literally anything magic-looking that they're ever depicted doing could be mentioned. For characters that appear only in games, the section could verbally describe their various skills in the games. Of course, many characters appear in both interactive and non-interactive media, so in that case both may apply.

There is one unfortunate point in that we also have the [[Magic/Personal Abilities]] pages that duplicates this info. It would definitely be great if we could find a way to have one place transclude the other, rather than writing it all out twice. Though, I'm not entirely ''certain'' that that's a good idea – there may be reason to want it formatted differently in the two places.

I think some ideas are good and should be used but others seem iffy to me.

The Trivia section appearing under Gallery might cause chaos, since a lot of characters don't actually have their own galleries. I also fully agree with the History section, I think it should exist instead of the Appearances section all Record characters have.

The main argument - the Infobox - I'm kinda split in between. First of all I really like the JP name appearing under the English one, its just kinda stylish. I think the extra info could go in the Infobox under the condition that its grouped in collapsible boxes like fandom has it, and maybe even styled more? I kinda agree with the Character Info Table being kinda ugly, but the whole wiki is kinda bland (I have no idea how to even style it so Im not gonna suggest anything).

As for the dual character pages problem, I'd have to understand how the character variants in Record are planned to be treated first.
<blockquote>I think we should handle the game info for Magia Record in the same way as we're now handling it for Magia Exedra</blockquote>
<blockquote>and this would merge all non-dual variant characters into their base character page</blockquote>
Would the Duo pages stay as they are? If we do get rid of the non-duo pages they would look out of place in my opinion.

About the Memoria/Portraits they could actually go into Game Info, but the tables would most likely have to be collapsed, because them being at the bottom of the page doesn't create much problems, while appearing in the middle would. (Forgot to add that I agree with Game Info being lower, it makes sense for it to be higher in pages that describe units but this is a very general wiki, so it makes more sense to treat them like characters over units anytime.)

Oh yeah I also condone personal magic being on the character's page a lot more than on a [[Magic/Personal Abilities]] page, I don't really even understand why they exist.

'''re; character table/infobox --''' 

you have a point with the dual units. unless anyone has any suggestions, i'll try to brainstorm on any ideas that could "clean up" the page layout while also being able to accommodate 2+ characters.

'''re; powers and abilities --''' 

i'm also going to have to vote against just pulling directly from [[Magic/Personal Abilities]] -- i've taken a peek at those pages, and even just skimming the promised blood section (promised blood is where most of my character knowledge lies), i see a ''lot'' of personal speculation/extrapolations, many of which are not correct or at least not at all hinted toward in canon information. there's also the fact that there is typically a pretty clear gameplay/canon divide for a lot of magireco units, where something their in-game unit is depicted as doing may not necessarily be a canonical ability and was instead added more to spice up gameplay visuals -- off the top of my head, this ranges from something as minor as yuna's attacks having a flourish of "storm magic" (something that i personally headcanon to be true) to as extreme as asahi being able to zip around in the air in her magia (an ability that is never once mentioned/referenced/shown in any story and seems to just have been added to make asahi's attacks look more interesting than just a girl shooting a musket).

for the record, with this, i'm mostly talking about magia record characters -- magireco is where i'm most knowledgeable about the franchise and yet is also where there aren't very many visual depictions of magic to go off of. for the franchise's characters overall, i think a powers/abilities section would be very useful, and i think especially for characters like the quintet, would end up being fairly filled out. but when i consider magia record, i'm not sure how to justify it getting its own section rather than simply a subsection perhaps somewhere under "personality and traits". since yuna is my mockup character, for yuna's canonical, in-story magic that we see her use, i can think of the typical magical girl abilities (strength, soul gem stuff, etc.) and her personal "target redirection" -- her "storm magic" depicted in thunderbolt burial is never shown in the story, and though the "personal abilities" page lists off "flame resistance", this is not actually ever mentioned or shown as being something that yuna is capable of and seems to be a misinterpretation of a scene from crimson resolve. 
to be clear, i think the potentially non-story-canon abilities depicted in gameplay should be noted on character pages, but since quite a bit of it is only ever shown in a single animation and then never again, it would be hard to spin more than a sentence or two about it, which is what makes me hesitant to want to dedicate a whole standalone section to p&a, at least on the magireco pages.

'''re; trivia/gallery --''' 

i was thinking that each character would hopefully get their own gallery section, with the "gallery" heading simply linking to the standalone page. i find separate gallery pages to be much more organized and look much cleaner than for a character's gallery to be pasted in its entirety onto the main page.

'''Re: Location of Trivia section'''

This doesn't seem like it would be an issue for most characters, as the gallery will just be a link, but for minor characters who only have a very small inline gallery… it's hard to say.

'''Re: Dual Unit Pages'''

I'm not sure how best to handle dual pages, to be honest. I do think it makes sense for them to exist. It's kinda tough to fit them into any system…

Other than the dual pages, my personal opinion is that it would be best to get rid of the separate "in Magia Record" and "in Magia Exedra" pages and have just one page for each character. So, the variants would all be merged into that character's page as well.

For dual units, one possible solution would be to transclude the game data for them into the page of both (or all three of) the involved units. However, that sounds like it could get pretty complicated, so I'm not sure that's a good solution. It also implies the dual unit has no dedicated page beyond just the stats and stuff, though I don't know if that's a bad thing.

: '''Re: Powers & Abilities'''

Broadly speaking, I agree with TheresaFrog on this point and at least partly disagree with Onitora.

<blockquote>i'm also going to have to vote against just pulling directly from [[Magic/Personal Abilities]] -- i've taken a peek at those pages, and even just skimming the promised blood section (promised blood is where most of my character knowledge lies), i see a ''lot'' of personal speculation/extrapolations, many of which are not correct or at least not at all hinted toward in canon information.</blockquote>First of all, putting speculations in the powers and abilities section seems fair game to me, though of course there should be a good enough reason to back up any speculation (wild guessing at random has no place).

<blockquote>there's also the fact that there is typically a pretty clear gameplay/canon divide for a lot of magireco units, where something their in-game unit is depicted as doing may not necessarily be a canonical ability and was instead added more to spice up gameplay visuals -- off the top of my head, this ranges from something as minor as yuna's attacks having a flourish of "storm magic" (something that i personally headcanon to be true) to as extreme as asahi being able to zip around in the air in her magia (an ability that is never once mentioned/referenced/shown in any story and seems to just have been added to make asahi's attacks look more interesting than just a girl shooting a musket).</blockquote>I strongly disagree on the existence of a "pretty clear" gameplay/canon divide. There definitely ''is'' such a divide, but I would say it's very blurry.

Considering your two examples, I would suggest that the Asahi case is more likely just a "visual flair", whereas the Yuna case can reasonably be interpreted as soft evidence that she may have lightning magic or whatever it is that it's depicting. This is because it's using very limited animation, so it's difficult to argue that the movement of the sprite means anything; on the other hand, the choice of particle effect seems like it should be much more meaningful.

In general, I would say that every special attack (the Magia moves in Magia Record, Special Attacks in Magia Exedra) should be considered to be roughly representative of their canon abilities. There may be some simplifications or some extra visual flair, but it's not depicting something they're actually unable to do in canon. I would also consider their other game skills (connect and blast in Magia Record; Battle Skill in Magia Exedra; and basic attacks in both) to be at least soft canon, as long as it doesn't directly contradict anything else. I would also consider that the gameplay effects of those skills (for example, the afflictions cured or inflicted) to be accurate to their abilities, but it's difficult to derive facts about their abilities from this – the afflictions are highly-abstracted, after all. A Bind affliction could represent possibly hundreds of disparate types of canon abilities, from the obvious like ribbons or vines that restrain, to less obvious skills such as, say, stopping the enemy's movement via temporal dilation. (I'm not saying the latter exists anywhere, but I would consider it to be a valid interpretation of a Bind affliction. Though personally, I think it fits for [[Yuzuki Rion]], but I don't think there's any hard proof.)

<blockquote>for the franchise's characters overall, i think a powers/abilities section would be very useful, and i think especially for characters like the quintet, would end up being fairly filled out. but when i consider magia record, i'm not sure how to justify it getting its own section rather than simply a subsection perhaps somewhere under "personality and traits". since yuna is my mockup character, for yuna's canonical, in-story magic that we see her use, i can think of the typical magical girl abilities (strength, soul gem stuff, etc.) and her personal "target redirection" -- her "storm magic" depicted in thunderbolt burial is never shown in the story, and though the "personal abilities" page lists off "flame resistance", this is not actually ever mentioned or shown as being something that yuna is capable of and seems to be a misinterpretation of a scene from crimson resolve.</blockquote>

And then this too I have to disagree with. I don't think we should treat Magia Record characters so dramatically different from the Holy Quintet. If the Holy Quintet can have a Powers and Abilities section, then surely every character can have one – even if it's only two sentences on some of the more minor side characters in Magia Record.

(going a bit out of order here; bear with me)

If the Holy Quintet can have a Powers and Abilities section, then surely every character can have one – even if it's only two sentences on some of the more minor side characters in Magia Record.</blockquote>

to clarify, i did mean that i think a powers and abilities section would be useful for all (magical girl) characters -- just that for some characters it may look best as a subsection (ie "personality and traits" --> "powers and abilities") rather than having being its own distinct section. characters with just a few sentences would get a subsection and then characters with more information would have a "main" powers and abilities section, probably beneath (but not part of) "personality and traits". pages can have their subsections promoted to "main" section as needed, which i don't think would be too difficult.

<blockquote>First of all, putting speculations in the powers and abilities section seems fair game to me, though of course there should be a good enough reason to back up any speculation (wild guessing at random has no place)</blockquote>

speculation is certainly useful and is by far the lifeblood of this fandom, but imo is best restricted to where there is a clear disclaimer that it isn't necessarily canonical information. speculation is not ''bad'', but i don't think it has any place being mixed in with confirmed canonical information, which is what wikis are to document. when it comes to [[Magic/Personal_Abilities/Magia_Record_Promised_Blood_Girls]] specifically, i should say it's less "speculation" and more "misunderstandings (?) passed off as canon fact" -- but this discussion isn't about that page so i'll stop there. my point is that i disagree that personal speculation has any place on a character's canonical page -- wikis are for documenting canonical, confirmed-by-the-text information, and i've noticed a lot of personal headcanons/speculation/what have you passed off as canonical truth on multiple pages. given this wiki's history, i think there may be some use in setting up sub-pages (?) (still not coding-smart so this may not be the actual term for them; forgive me) dedicated to character/world/etc speculation, but when it comes to a canonical page, i don't think speculation should be allowed. that's all i'm trying to get at.

<blockquote>I strongly disagree on the existence of a "pretty clear" gameplay/canon divide. There definitely ''is'' such a divide, but I would say it's very blurry.</blockquote>

this is my bad for phrasing things awkwardly/incorrectly here -- there is a clear gameplay divide ''to me''. i do agree with you that the divide is overall rather blurry, which is why i think that, in a character's powers and abilities section, it would be wise to note when what's being described is something that's shown up in the story or is simply something that is shown in a unit animation -- this would include all of the "magic" while also not taking a firm stance in an ability being canonical or not. for example, even though i don't think asahi is able to fly like she's shown doing in her magia, i think it would be wise to include such information on her page ''with the caveat'' that it's something we only see her do in a gameplay animation and not something she's ever shown doing in the story. the viewer can come to canon/noncanon conclusions on their own; that's not for the wiki to do.

'''re; trivia location --''' 

for characters with very small galleries, i think those images could just be put onto the page beneath trivia and above notes. that shouldn't clog things up too much.

<blockquote>I don't think we should treat Magia Record characters so dramatically different from the Holy Quintet.</blockquote>

This is what we should go after. A GIANT problem with this wiki is inconsistency, I mean just look at any of the newer character pages and [[Madoka Kaname]], she has sections we didnt give to other characters such as '''Design''' or '''Personality''', so I will always say that we need to make these pages actually consistent. That's why I also agree with Celtic on the powers section, no point in making it into a subsection, even if it looks bare. The same goes for '''Trivia''' being above the gallery for some and below for others.

I agree that we could have a '''Personality''' section for each character, but would what '''Appearance''' be? We have a '''Summary''' section thats very random on Magireco pages, it has the description of the character, their doppel description and then side story, which all is effectively game info for Magia Record. Would appearance be about that or about their design?

I believe that before we do these changes, we should start doing the game unit fixes Celtic mentioned. I still don't fully understand them but they would clean the pages up a lot. - [[User:TheresaFrog421|TheresaFrog421]] ([[User talk:TheresaFrog421|talk]]) 14:18, 18 October 2025 (UTC)

'''Appearance''' would obviously be a textual description of the character, perhaps supplemented by images in some cases. It seems somewhat redundant when we do have images, but, well… I think there would definitely be people who find it useful if it exists. ~ [[User:Celtic Minstrel|Celtic Minstrel]] ([[User talk:Celtic Minstrel|talk]]) 14:33, 18 October 2025 (UTC)

yes, i agree that page inconsistency is an issue on this wiki. however, i ''don’t'' agree that minor differences in section/subsection placement counts as ‘treat[ing] magia record characters so dramatically different from the holy quintet’. i don’t think the quintet should be held up as what the average character page on this wiki (or any wiki) should look like — the truth of the matter is that, at this point in the franchise, the quintet are so bloated with in-universe and out-of-universe information compared to the other characters that their pages are going to have to be a bit different to accommodate that. i think that powers and abilities would look best on non-quintet pages as a subsection; non-quintet characters are going to have much shorter p&a information, and to make it a whole section instead of a sub-area beneath personality and traits would look very awkward at such a prominent placement at the top of the page. aside from that, yes, i think it ultimately makes sense for pages to have their layouts roughly standardized for organization purposes. 
(also, adding this, since i'd typed this up earlier and forgot; i've seen plenty of wikis that have character pages with a roughly standardized layout, but also with some wiggle room depending on the specific character/information available. even wikis like bulbapedia will add, take out, or rearrange entire sections for a character's page if it makes sense to do so. so, i don't think that quintet/non-quintet/etc pages need to be held to exactly the same standards, given the discrepancy in information available for the quintet and the other characters in this franchise -- in this case i think it's best if some adjustments were made just to keep the pages looking nice, since readability is going to be important here). 

as for what each section would include, thank you for making me realize i haven’t explained. so, just so we’re all on the same page -- 
*'''1. Appearance'''
**'''1a. Magical Girl;''' details of the character's physical appearance. celtic minstrel noted that it seemed redundant when there are images, but i think it's important to help set up the rest of the article (most wikis, even nonfiction wikis like wikipedia, utilize descriptions even if there are images supplementing the rest of the article), as well as, as noted, to be potentially helpful for various reasons.
**'''1b. Doppel;''' details of the character's doppel's physical appearance. largely only relevant to magireco pages.
*'''2. Personality and Traits;''' a description of the magical girl's canonical characterization.
**'''2b. Powers and Abilities;''' [not part of original mockup] a description of the magical girl's canonical magical abilities.
*'''3. History;''' the character's story appearances and backstory in chronological order, broken up into subsections (ie 'crimson resolve' or 'blood(y) tragedy' for yuna's experience in cr). ''not'' an omniscient summary of various events/stories/etc featuring said character like the current side story sections.
*'''4. [misc game section];''' no idea what to title this one, but a section (or two) dedicated to game information, or a link to a subpage with game information, like stats, magia name, discs, etc.
*'''5. Gallery;''' link to a character's gallery, or potentially an on-page gallery if it's small enough.
*'''6. Trivia;''' confirmed/canonical factoids that do not otherwise fit into the article and are not vital to understanding of the character. '''not''' a section for speculation or headcanon. i emphasize this because i think a lot of editors on this wiki misunderstand what a trivia section is for; i find that [https://splatoonwiki.org/wiki/Inkipedia:Policy/Trivia inkipedia's policy article] explains it well.
*'''7. Etymology;''' [not part of original mockup] information about the character's human/doppel name; short and sweet.
*'''8. Notes;''' additional information/elaboration for information presented in the article; footnotes. may not be necessary for most pages.
*'''9. References;''' basically a bibliography. i think this wiki would significantly improve in quality if information was required to have a source attached; there have been ''numerous'' false magia record character rumors that can be directly traced back to unsourced misinformation being posted on this wiki as fact and nobody taking it down because they've just assumed it to be true.

overall, the placement of powers and abilities isn't really a hill i'm willing to die on. i think it'd be best for layout/readability if it were handled differently depending on the amount of information available, but i am only one person. even if i have my personal gripes, as long as this layout is roughly followed, at least for the magia record pages, i can't complain.

Hmm. I think the current side story sections could maybe be split to a separate page, like the Exedra side stories? So then each page has its own story. In some cases, various side stories lead directly into each other, so those ones could even be merged into one page for the entire flow, which could be even better since you can just read the entire sequence of events all at once. Examples of this are seen with Nanaka's and Hazuki's teams and the Tokime trio; I don't remember the exact details.

For me, I think '''Notes''' and '''References''' could be merged most of the time – many of those references would be in footnotes anyway, wouldn't they? It could be a '''References''' section that dumps the footnotes and then maybe adds some links, like the current '''See Also''' sections. It's not that I'm opposed to separating them out, though…

I had one thought about the Memoria Card or Portrait lists – do they go in part 4 or part 5? I added them to the Gallery on [[Café Récompense]], after all, but they're not in the gallery section in any of the character pages.

Regarding 1a and 1b – I think we don't need separate subsections for girls who don't have a doppel. Just put the content of 1a directly in 1.

I'm not entirely sold on the section title of '''History'''. Another option is '''Backstory''', but that also has problems…

I think we still need to settle on the role of the big info table and/or the infobox. As I mentioned before the conversation was shifted over here, I think OOC and IC information should be kept separate, so I'm not really sold on dumping both into the infobox…

if i can be totally honest, i don't see the need to compile summaries of stories on the wiki. if people want to read an event's story, they can...go read the event. summaries tend to give people incorrect ideas and help them to draw incorrect conclusions, anyway -- like this wiki, i've found a lot of misinformation in the english fandom stems from people reading summaries (both on this wiki and on reddit) instead of just reading stories for themselves. i'm personally going to have to vote against having dedicated "story" pages at all. i see no reason for it. this is a separate thing than having a brief rundown of a character's story involvement -- and only that character's involvement -- on that character's page in the "history" section.
editing to clarify; i think event pages should be less about compiling "here's every millisecond of this event story" and more about a nice harmony of both gameplay and story. an event's page could have a little intro blurb at the top, then a quick story synopsis (4, maybe 5 medium-long paragraphs of the primary story beats; not like the long-winded reddit "summaries" created after using mtl to read a story the day it drops), then gameplay information (currency? shop? quest nodes? etc.), then maybe the text transcripts if they fit. make the pages informational and not just mtl summaries from 4chan and reddit.

"notes" would be less about listing off where information comes from and more about clarifying information in the main part of the article. like i said, think about the footnotes in a nonfiction book. to use bulbapedia as an example, their page for the character kieran from pokemon scarlet/violet has a single note regarding his listed age. it is not a source, but it clarifies that the information comes only from the french version of the game and that the information is not present in other translations of the game. that information would not be present in a "references" section, which would simply be a bibliography.

memoria cards -- with no information attached -- would go into the gallery. a character's personal memoria could go into their gameplay section, as that is relevant to gameplay. i have no preference either way on if non-personal memoria that still features the character in some capacity also goes into the gameplay section.

yes, obviously characters without doppels will not have divided subsections to facilitate a doppel.

i think "history" works just fine. it ''is'' a compilation of the character's history in the game; "backstory" would only cover things before the main story.

my opinion has not changed about the information table. i still think they should be merged. while the table is useful, i find it, in no uncertain terms, very ugly, and it breaks up the flow of the page. i see no issue in merging ic/ooc information like how it is done on bulbapedia character tables, as i mentioned previously.

Text transcripts, if present, should be on a separate page for sure. I wouldn't say we need them, but EPF is going to great lengths to make them, so whatever! I don't think gameplay information like quest nodes and the like is super important, but I also wouldn't be opposed to adding that (the Magia Record fandom wiki has all that information, I believe). It's certainly true that the summaries could be compressed a lot more. I'm still in favour of keeping the big table and separating IC from OOC info. It may be partly because I put a lot of work into getting that table working, but I do question combining the two categories of info into one place. Maybe I could change my mind if I see a working example, I dunno. ~ [[User:Celtic Minstrel|Celtic Minstrel]] ([[User talk:Celtic Minstrel|talk]]) 01:11, 30 October 2025 (UTC)

i would be willing to help create new summaries for different events whenever those pages are reworked. my current priority is the character pages, though. just to clarify, when i mention synopsis/gameplay/transcripts, i mean for pages separate from the character pages, not on the character pages. these would clutter up the character pages.

as for the infobox, i think currently my favorite example of how it's done would be bulbapedia, as i mentioned -- [https://bulbapedia.bulbagarden.net/wiki/Carmine here] is an example. i think it looks sleek while also merging both ic and ooc information, which helps to clean up the rest of the page. it's not something that's very obvious, but the way that the various pieces of information are visually grouped together (ie, age/gender/eye color/hair color have their own section) helps to keep things organized within the box. we don't have to copy this exactly, but i think something inspired by it, at the very least, would look very nice.

The reason I go for the transcripts is - they're pretty close to objective. A summary or a synopsis inherently will have a third party's interpretation and potential misremembering of the events. Being able to point at an exact quote is tremendously helpful in maintaining objectivity. Another benefit is searchability - the wiki will never have a synopsis on every topic a person could be interested in, some stuff is really niche trivia. Yet trivia that is useful nevertheless. Being able to search through the quotes yourself makes it much easier. It's also great if you remember something was stated, but have no idea where. This is also why I'm postulating on [[Talk:Main_Page#Tabbers|adding the AdvancedSearch extension]]. This is also data preservation - gachas are live-service games doomed to disappear one day, having at least a transcript saved means a story's less likely to become lost media [[User:EPF|EPF]] ([[User talk:EPF|talk]]) 02:53, 30 October 2025 (UTC)

Wait so are we planning to get rid of the Side and Costume stories' summaries and just leave a link to a transcript? It would actually kinda help with the game section's build.

For the Memoria and Portraits going into galleries, even though I really like the way we have them now... Yeah it makes more sense for them to be in galleries instead, and just leave the personal/unique ones in the game section. I want to ask though, would we keep the Memoria/Portraits like we have them now (showing all the info) or turn them into regular gallery sections?

Also Celtic, I have an attempt at recreating Onitora's idea for the infobox on my [[User:TheresaFrog421/Sandbox|Sandbox page]], specifically for Shizuka, its not a template though. - [[User:TheresaFrog421|TheresaFrog421]] ([[User talk:TheresaFrog421|talk]]) 12:36, 1 November 2025 (UTC)

(i apologize for my silence; i am very busy at the moment and wiki work isn't my highest priority)

my idea was less that we'll be getting rid of pages and more that the event/side story/etc pages will be transcripts instead of somebody else's interpretation of events. especially since this wiki does not always source its summaries from reliable sources, many summaries have been pasted onto the wiki without permission/credit, and i know somebody personally who threw random misinformation into one of their summaries because they knew the wiki was putting their work up without credit and without fact-checking. like epf says, transcripts are as close to objective as you can get without reading the event story for yourself as well as a form of data preservation, and as i mentioned previously, these poorly-written summaries have been the source of multiple incorrect rumors/misinformation in the english fandom.

for personal memoria in the game section, those would have stats/descriptions/etc.; for memoria in the character's gallery, i think those are best off without that information attached. of course, this creates a problem for what to do about non-personal memoria -- the fandom wiki hosts all the memoria information that anybody could ever need, so i don't think it's critically important that we do the same, but i'm not against the idea of individual pages for every memoria card, either.

i think that mockup looks wonderful. i think it would certainly tidy up the character pages. thank you for your hard work!

editing to add; this is relevant more to the wiki as a whole and not juts to character page layouts, but i think i should bring it up. a while ago, a discussion in the magia union translations discord server came up about the idea of uncredited work on the wiki. going forward (and retroactively), i think it would be wise to edit various templates to include a credits section. off the top of my head, i know i've done some witch/kimochi translations that i've uploaded to the wiki that have gone entirely uncredited unless somebody were to dig around in the page history, and i know multiple others on the mut project would appreciate credit for their work if/when it is ever used on this wiki (which, if we're to include transcripts, will be inevitable).

Personally, I think the best way to properly credit people would be to ask each person to personally post their work so that their name is attached to the edit in the log. But I understand that that's not going to happen every time, so when it doesn't we should certainly make sure that credit is properly given for stuff that deserves it (chiefly translations; there are likely other things too, but I think that's the biggest one). ~ [[User:Celtic Minstrel|Celtic Minstrel]] ([[User talk:Celtic Minstrel|talk]]) 23:52, 21 November 2025 (UTC)

i've been editing in my own translations; i don't think the edit log is a good way to track translation/etc. credits. most translators do not have wiki accounts (i do, and i can think of two others, but they are not active users) and ''most people are not going to be checking the edit logs for translation credits.'' the edit log will make crediting even less clear if it's on a page that is edited regularly. while i do have my own account and have my translations attached to my name in the wiki's edit log, i'd rather have more clear credit, and that's something i've seen expressed by other users as well, especially since quite a few mut translations have more than one person working on them -- antimony and bst tend to team up for translations rather than doing solo projects, the arc 2 main story chapters all have multiple users pitching in to help, and events like ashen revolution had larger teams working on them for one reason or another; sometimes a story gets stuck in purgatory and will then have tons of credits on it because it keeps changing hands. a single person editing the page and the edit log being their credit will simply not work in most cases.

I don't know if everyone would be okay with it, but can we restructure the way Character pages are set up when they have multiple appearances?
Let's take Sayaka for example. Instead of having these pages for her:
# Sayaka Miki
# Sayaka Miki in Magia Record
# Sayaka Miki (scene 0 ver.), summer ver. etc.
# Sayaka Miki in Magia Exedra
# Sayaka Miki in Magia Exedra/Insert variants here, etc.
How about we have the structure be more cohesive, and have the units from Exedra, as well as Record, in the same page. For example:
# Sayaka Miki (character information and story stuff)
# Sayaka Miki/Magia Record (will have sections for each of her versions)
# Sayaka Miki/Magia Exedra (will have sections for each of her versions too, so that everything won't have to be split in a million different directions, and the information won't have to be repeated)
I just thought this would be more efficient and easier to uphold, especially since I've seen pages that don't have all the information from the character's main page to their record versions for example.

I think merging the Magia Record variants into the main page is broadly a good idea. I'm not sure if I like your specific proposal though. In particular, I'm not sure that having separate subpages for Magia Record and Magia Exedra is needed – is there a reason that information can't be on the main page? On the other hand, I like having the game units on subpages that are transcluded into the main page, as is currently done for Magia Exedra. ~ [[User:Celtic Minstrel|Celtic Minstrel]] ([[User talk:Celtic Minstrel|talk]]) 17:08, 22 November 2025 (UTC)
: I filled out the mockup to cover everything from Onitora's original mockup as well as most of what we've discussed. The text is filled with a mixture of Lorem Ipsum and transclusions of real content from Shizuka's and Mami's pages. I think it probably still needs more work though – I'm not entirely confident in the headings I chose for the "game info" sections. ~ [[User:Celtic Minstrel|Celtic Minstrel]] ([[User talk:Celtic Minstrel|talk]]) 18:42, 22 November 2025 (UTC)

While I agree with the way you want to handle Game info, I have questions.

What about the Doppel descriptions of alt units? Right now they would just cease to exist. I think it would be better if they would just be included in the game section for each unit, but to be fair I think even more things should be there, such as the unique memoria (and unique portrait for Exedra).

:Adding this, could the doppel descriptions just be added into the game info template? I still think the template deserves a remake and I think this could almost work...?

Also I don't really understand the gallery section here, the Memoria and Portraits should be on the gallery ''page'' not section, and I dont think the costume stories should be there at ALL, but I understand that there's not really any other section this belongs to... - [[User:TheresaFrog421|TheresaFrog421]] ([[User talk:TheresaFrog421|talk]]) 12:13, 23 November 2025 (UTC)

I really like the Shizuka mockup, but I have some notes.
# Appearance: I think that the Appearance section shouldn't have the Doppel in it. Personally, I wouldn't include the sub-heading for "Magical Girl" either, and just describe all the outfits seen worn (like different versions and such), all in different paragraphs in the Appearance heading.
# In Magia Record / In Magia Exedra: I think these should have descriptions of the girls as units (like their record/exedra pages already do). Info like when they were released, their unit descriptions, Doppel Descriptions, etc. for every version. I think Costume stories (like pijamas, halloween and other outfits that dont come with units and their stories should be at the Magia Record section too)
# Notes: I think Notes should be replaced with Observations, or at least used the way Observations has been used until now, where symbolism and stuff like that should go. Units that already have these are Meiyui, Kagari, Yu, Pernelle, etc.

Here's a better summary of what I mean and how the table of contents would look like:
{{Spoilerbox|1.1 Appearance 
1.2 Personality and Traits 
1.3 Powers and Abilities 
1.4 History (this will also include backstory stuff) 
1.4.1 Arc 1 
1.4.2 Event X 
1.4.3 Arc 2 
1.4.4 Event Y 
1.5 In Magia Record 
1.5.1 Normal Version (idk if a "normal version" is needed, and can't instead be placed directly on the "In Magia Record" part, but that's just me) 
1.5.1.1 Doppel Description 
1.5.2 First Sunrise Version 
1.5.2.1 Doppel Description 
1.5.3 Costumes (includes stories) 
1.6 In Magia Exedra (this would also not be repeated for 3 star units since their kioku just have their names and the heartphials treat them all as one character even when they have different costumes anyway) 
1.6.1 Tiro Finale (more than just the unit/gameplay features for each one) 
1.6.2 Bebe-O'-Lantern 
1.6.3 Fiore Finale 
1.6.4 Tiro Finale Liberation 
1.7 Etymology 
1.8 Observations / Notes 
1.9 Trivia 
1.10 Gallery (this should be in the end imo, since it is quite lengthy) 
1.10.1 Memoria 
1.10.2 Portraits 
1.11 References}}

* '''Doppel Descriptions''': Can't we just put all the various doppel descriptions in the currently-marked place?
* '''Gallery''': I don't think the memoria and portrait list should be carted off to a separate Gallery page. Whether or not they go in the gallery at all is an open question though – they could belong in the Game Info section instead. As for costume stories, I can agree that they don't really belong there; I plopped them into the Gallery section because they showcase the costumes themselves. If we were going with that mockup, we'd probably adjust things so that it's just the costume images and not the stories as wel.
* '''Unit Descriptions''': That's a good idea, actually.

My issue with the Doppel descriptions being in Appearance is that it doesn't feel like it fits there? Atleast not the descriptions, when that section is about their looks. It just feels like its there because there's no other place to put it in.

I believe the stats template should be changed so its showing off more, like the card art since its not gonna be above it on the page (like we have it now with each unit having a page), and I think doppels would fit in there well.

About the game sections I think it would be best if they had a "top" section, for Record that would have the costume stories and for Exedra it would have the description and the personal Portrait, since they dont change depending on unit. If we put the Memoria/Portraits there then it would be best to close those tables since they can get VERY lengthy (thats why Im more for them being in the gallery pages but I can see the other perspective). - [[User:TheresaFrog421|TheresaFrog421]] ([[User talk:TheresaFrog421|talk]]) 15:37, 23 November 2025 (UTC)

looks like there's been quite a bit of discussion since i last posted. to try to address everything --

<blockquote>In particular, I'm not sure that having separate subpages for Magia Record and Magia Exedra is needed – is there a reason that information can't be on the main page?</blockquote>
i do not think everything should be merged into a single page. while it will make more pages to be maintained, i think it is in our best interests for organization for characters to have separate pages for each of their incarnations -- not least because the magireco timeline ''is not the same as the anime timeline.'' putting magia record story information onto sayaka's primary character page alongside information from the original anime run and rebellion would only serve to confuse people. though i don't think we should be titling the pages like "sayaka miki in magia record" like the current standard is; i think we're better off slicing that down a bit into something more like "sayaka miki (magia record)" or "sayaka miki/magia record", with these linked on the primary page.

<blockquote>[...] I agree with the way you want to handle Game info [...]</blockquote>
for the most part, me as well. i think those boxes are useful, save for the fact that i think magia record and magia exedra information should not share a page.

<blockquote>What about the Doppel descriptions of alt units? Right now they would just cease to exist. I think it would be better if they would just be included in the game section for each unit, but to be fair I think even more things should be there, such as the unique memoria (and unique portrait for Exedra). </blockquote>
i think the official doppel description(s) should go under game information alongside their gameplay information; the section under "appearance" is not intended for the official blurb to be copy-pasted into. and i also agree that personal memoria should be in the gameplay section.

<blockquote>Also I don't really understand the gallery section here, the Memoria and Portraits should be on the gallery page not section, and I dont think the costume stories should be there at ALL, but I understand that there's not really any other section this belongs to...</blockquote>
ditto.

<blockquote>Appearance: I think that the Appearance section shouldn't have the Doppel in it. Personally, I wouldn't include the sub-heading for "Magical Girl" either, and just describe all the outfits seen worn (like different versions and such), all in different paragraphs in the Appearance heading.</blockquote>
i think doppels have description priority over different outfits. aside from describing units with alternative appearances (ex; vampire yuna), i don't think we should be describing anything outside of a character's magical girl outfit, her witch/doppel, and maybe her school uniform.

<blockquote>I think Costume stories (like pijamas, halloween and other outfits that dont come with units and their stories should be at the Magia Record section too)</blockquote>
i vote against having summaries of events/stories/etc. on a character's page, even if that story is associated with a costume for that character.

<blockquote>Notes: I think Notes should be replaced with Observations, or at least used the way Observations has been used until now, where symbolism and stuff like that should go.</blockquote>
'''hard''' no on putting speculation on characters' canonical pages. this is how misinformation spreads and headcanons are passed on as fact. given the history of this wiki and the nature of this franchise in general, i am open to the idea of characters having a linked "speculation" subpage for people to mess around on. but '''not''' on the main page that is intended to compile canonical information. that is not what wikis are for, and while i feel mean bringing it up, this is a big reason why this wiki's reputation is currently so poor.

'''regarding memoria''' -- i think personal memoria with its gameplay information should be on the character's page, beneath the gameplay section. memoria that is ''not'' personal ''but otherwise showcases the character in some capacity'' should be in the gallery subpage. the fandom wiki currently hosts every memoria card and is currently where most users go when they want to look up a card's information. if we want to also host gameplay information, i do not mind, but i think we should follow in the lead of cards having separate pages with that information, rather than users needing to look up cards on character pages. ''especially'' since character pages often do not have every memoria card that features that character.

:I don't think there's a need to describe the school uniform unless they're a character who "customizes" it. Mostly I'd say the description should cover costume-agnostic aspects (hair, eyes, build, etc), the magical girl costume, and for those that have one, the magical girl swimsuit.
:But while that's the bare minimum, I think it's fine to cover other costumes that they're seen in as well. This could include costumes that have a dedicated unit (eg vampire Yuna), costumes that have a dedicated story (eg tiger Shizuka), and even just random costumes that appear in a story (eg pyjamas, winter clothes, just casual clothes, etc). I don't think these are necessary to have, mind you, but they would be reasonable to include if someone feels like writing that description.

<blockquote>'''hard''' no on putting speculation on characters' canonical pages. this is how misinformation spreads and headcanons are passed on as fact.</blockquote>

:I really think it's fine to include some speculation on the main page as long as it's clearly marked using the Theory templates… but only small speculations, like bullet points or a short paragraph. Detailed theories definitely don't belong on the main page.

<blockquote>'''regarding memoria''' -- i think personal memoria with its gameplay information should be on the character's page, beneath the gameplay section. memoria that is ''not'' personal ''but otherwise showcases the character in some capacity'' should be in the gallery subpage. the fandom wiki currently hosts every memoria card and is currently where most users go when they want to look up a card's information. if we want to also host gameplay information, i do not mind, but i think we should follow in the lead of cards having separate pages with that information, rather than users needing to look up cards on character pages.

:I don't think the memoria/portrait list should be relegated to a subpage (unless that subpage is "the Magia Record/Exedra game info page"). It's easy to make it be initially collapsed though if you're just worried about space. And the way the lists are built automatically by the wiki software means that character pages actually ''will'' have every memoria card featuring that character (assuming they're all tagged properly).

I prefer to have everything about a character nominally on one page. There could be subpages for organization, but I'd prefer them to be transcluded into the main page to keep everything together. I know that the Magia Record and primary timelines are different, but the characters aren't especially different in the two timelines. We ''could'' link to the subpages instead of transcluding them, I suppose; it's not what I'd prefer, but I guess it would work. (This would be like how many pages link to their gallery instead of directly including it.)

Yes, no matter if we put the info on the main page or a /Magia Record subpage, the Template should be expanded.

I have an attempt? on my [[User:TheresaFrog421/Sandbox#Testing out Record Stats|Sandbox page]] but its rough, I think the Card display is good, the only character that has 1 card is the valentines Kuro, and she's an outlier anyway so I don't think we should accommodate the whole template for her.

It's probably easy to tell that I used the Exedra template we have as inspo, but that's because I just like it tbh.

Tbh Im fully okay with the Doppel being out of the template, just still in the game section, thats because I don't think the way I implemented it, is very good :sob:

I'm sure there's useful stuff that could be added to the template that I didn't add. Also treat my design like the infobox I made, its not a working Template. - [[User:TheresaFrog421|TheresaFrog421]] ([[User talk:TheresaFrog421|talk]]) 18:29, 24 November 2025 (UTC)

That mockup's not bad. There's the question of how an EX skill would be inserted into it though, and it feels a bit weird that Connect/Magia are side-by-side but only Doppel gets its own row. I also agree that the Doppel Info section isn't great, but it's not terrible, I guess… I think I wouldn't give the English and Japanese text equal weight like that though. Maybe put it in tabs like in the Witch template. ~ [[User:Celtic Minstrel|Celtic Minstrel]] ([[User talk:Celtic Minstrel|talk]]) 20:12, 24 November 2025 (UTC)

I decided to fully remove the Doppel info section (after being deadset on it being there), even if it looked good I think it should be separate from the Game Info, the same way the Spirit Enhancement Data is separate. I also moved the Doppel/2nd Magia next to the Connect and Magia, it looks way better. I think the current look is best.

The last thing I see a problem with is the EX skill, mostly the scaling, because it doesnt fit with the other skills, that are scaled by the unit rarity. I think I could do it like the previous doppel/like how we have the crystalis on the exedra template, but I honestly prefer the first idea.

i'm just going to address one thing here, because it's all i have the time for right now --

<blockquote>I really think it's fine to include some speculation on the main page as long as it's clearly marked using the Theory templates… but only small speculations, like bullet points or a short paragraph. Detailed theories definitely don't belong on the main page.</blockquote>
i really hate to be harsh, but allowing speculation and headcanon is why this wiki is treated as a joke in a lot of serious fan spaces. ''no'', the wiki should not be allowing random users to insert their personal speculation onto canonical character pages, directly next to canonical information. this is how misinformation is confused for canon. this is how misinformation ''has spread and continues to spread'' throughout the english fandom. i know that this wiki was made simply to compile old 4chan speculation from when the anime was still airing, not to act as an objective information source as it is attempting to now, which is why, to stay true to the site's roots and to the nature of this fanbase in general, i am not against the idea of a subpage (ie, Yuna Kureha/Speculation) to compile these things. but ''not'' on the canon pages. ''not'' directly beside canonical information, disclaimer or no.

the amount of ''very incorrect'' speculation and other information on this wiki is why i decided to attempt to pitch in. if the wiki continues to allow blatant headcanon on pages, then i am sorry, but i don't think that there is much to be done to clean it up. if this comes off as rude, then i apologize.

'''Re: Everything:''' I really agree that there's a lot of speculation and incorrect information overall. A sleek new infobox to not confuse all the meta facts versus the in-universe facts would be great.

For the powers, there's been a lot of cases where something was a misundertsanding, or just incorrect. There was the time Karin couldn't steal magic items even though she stole grief seeds in her mss, there was the assumption that Himena could do coordinator stuff because she synthesizes powers, there was Yuna being immune to fire because of one CG, there was Sudachi teleporting because she grabbed Shizuka once, etc. I think it's a good idea to not only go through all of the characters, but to also label when something is in their story, or their record animations, or even in cases where it is only their magia archive entries (Gunhild comes to mind)

Frankly, I think we should also do away with spoiler tags for text. The wiki page is meant for spoilers. I think that if there is any spoiler tag stuff left, the tags at the start of the articles (with clear labeling of which media is being spoiled). And even then it should only be for the latest media. Forgive me but I think stuff like Arc 1 should be public knowledge by now.

Speculation doesn't deserve to be next to canon material, as that makes it super confusing. I think a section for ==Speculation== or even a sub-page would be ideal. If it were up to me, it would be next to Trivia or something like that. Community theories are welcome, but not when placed next to canon.

As for replacing record event summaries with transcripts, that would solve a lot of issues, especially since Exedra events are already getting that treatment. I think the available summaries should still have a place somewhere, but maybe a sub-section or sub-page lik /plot. Even then, a lot of them use different languages, come from weird places like 4chan, but if they're listed at the top then a reader would know what to expect.

Frankly, a way to remove a lot of speculation would be to use references. 99% of wikis already use them. Forive me if I don't know the tools or guidelines for the wiki, but I have a plan for everything after the formats / templates / other details are decided upon:

# Phase 0: We decide on the rules for this cleanup plan that I have listed below. If anyone wants to change it, I'm willing to do so.

# Phase 1: Set the new rules (Before w start editing)
## We need to finalize the details on the infobox that doesn't confuse meta facts and in-universe facts. Once it's ready, we make it the official template for everyone. Make a list of the characters to go through and implement this into one by one.
## Write the Style Giude: We need one page that spells out the exact order for sections (like putting Speculation next to Trivia, or on its own sub-page) and what goes where. This will stop people from just adding stuff randomly.
## Remove the Spoiler Tags: As a rule, we should do away with spoiler tags for text. The wiki is for spoilers. We can have one clear warning at the top of an article, but stuff like Arc 1 should be public knowledge by now.

# Phase 2: Make a Master List and THrow Away the Junk
## List Everything: We make a master list of every character, event, and topic page. We tag them all with a <nowiki>[[Category:Cleanup Needed]]</nowiki> so we know what’s left to do.
## Delete the Meme Pages: We go through the list and immediately tag any pages that are just for memes or jokes with <nowiki>[[Category:Deletion Candidate]]</nowiki> or something. Then we delete them. No reason to keep stuff like Poorf*g if you ask me, this isn;t 4chan. Alternatively, a page specifically for these meme stuff can be made.

# Phase 3: The Actual Cleanup (Page-by-Page)

This is where we take pages from the Cleanup Needed list and move them through stages.

For a CHARACTER PAGE:

Step 1:

Read the page and mark every case of misunderstanding or incorrect info. We all know the ones: like Karin not being able to steal magic items, references to Livia's husbad, etc.

Figure out what needs references and if one can't be found, we ask around then remove it if we can't find the reference for it.

Step 2:

Fix the Powers: We go through the Powers section and label when something is in their story, their Record animations, or just from their Magia Archive entries (like with Gunhild). We remove anything that’s just a guess, but I think it's enough to just say things like "Accordig to Magia Archive, Ranka's unique magic is blah blah blah. This might likely mean that blah blah lah"

Cut the Speculation: As I said before, we move any theorycrafting off the main page, or at least its own sub-section for the character since a lot of characters won't have any speculation.

Add the New Infobox and Layout: We put in the new sleek infobox and reorganize the page to follow the new section order.

Add References: We add sources for everything. This is the best way to kill baseless claims.

Step 3: Final Check.

Someone else checks the page to make sure it’s clean and follows all the new rules. Then it gets marked as don eor the category for the cleanup needed is removed.

For an EVENT PAGE:

Step 1: As Before

Step 2:

Replace the Summary with a Transcript: As for replacing Record event summaries with transcripts, that would solve a lot of issues. The main page should have the full transcript, just like Exedra events are already getting that treatment.

Archive Old Summaries: The available summaries should still have a place somewhere, but on a /plot sub-section or sub-page. At the top, we list where they came from—like if they're from 4chan or use different languages—so a reader knows what to expect at least. Making summaries of the events would be the lengthiest process we could ever hope to achieve, but transcripts would circumvent that issue.

Step 3: Final check.

Phase 4: Track Progress

We use the category system to track everything. We’ll have categories like Cleanup In Progress and Cleanup Verified so everyone can see what’s left to do.

The main Wiki Cleanup page will have a list showing our progress, or even templates we've agreed to use, etc.

Once a page is done, we can just keep track of events and new stuff that would change the page's status quo

I believe this plan is straightforward. If most people are up for it, (and after we've decided on what standards we'll use) we can continue. What do you all think? [[User:Sweet Beanie|Sweet Beanie]] ([[User talk:Sweet Beanie|talk]]) 14:11, 26 November 2025 (UTC)

----

I agree with the plan, tho we still have a lot to decide on.

:1. Where do the Memoria and Portraits go?
I still believe it should be the gallery, them having a certain character in themselves doesnt actually mean anything unless theyre personal/unique, now I also know that the Memoria don't really appear anywhere else but the character pages, so I can understand why the info should still be kept, but the tables are VERY big, its usually not too much of an issue because of the game character pages (like '''Sayaka in Record''' or '''Iroha in Exedra''') these help split these out but together they're way too big, now obviously this can be fixed by just collapsing them from the start, but then they would be awkardly placed in the game info. The Gallery pages are already giant, so these tables being in them wouldnt be that weird.

:2. Speculation
I agree with Sweet Beanie, that it should be a section of the page somewhere low, most speculation is too small to warrant a whole subpage for it. I think we could even hide them in something like the spoiler boxes we have, just to make SURE nobody mistakes it for official info. I do believe Speculation can exist on this wiki, like the whole Nighthawk is Kuroe and AQ is Alina thing, but I agree that it shouldnt be weaved in with trivia.

:3. Record Game Section
To be fair I think this one is decided on, just needs actual working on, like the [[Template:Magia Record Stats|Stats Template]] being updated (I could do it IF I UNDERSTOOD THE TEMPLATE), the doppels, personal memoria and costume stories, none of that is done yet. Also where the game sections are, I believe they can be on the main page, the info is always hidden anyway, tho the naming on the current mockup page feels rough, but I know that making it ==Game Info== and then ===Magireco=== might make it look weirder, with how small the headers would be.

About the event summaries and transcripts I guess I'm more for transcripts too, but I dont really know how to handle that, so I'll just stay out of this. - [[User:TheresaFrog421|TheresaFrog421]] ([[User talk:TheresaFrog421|talk]]) 16:08, 26 November 2025 (UTC)

-----

I only have two things to say about SweetBeanie's proposal, which mostly sounds good:

# I'm against deleting the "binbou-chan" page. It was already moved to the Community namespace in any case, so I don't think anyone will be mistaking it for canon.
# I'm against putting event transcripts on event pages. An event page should at most summarize the plot of the event. The existing event pages are way to verbose in their so-called "summaries" - a summary should be at most five paragraphs and definitely not several sections. Then it can link to the transcript on a separate page, for people who want it. And sure, we can also link to the older "summaries" as well. (They are not summaries though. They are a description of the entire event. I'm not sure what the word is for this, but "summary" is not it.)

I do like the idea of having a separate section for "Speculation". It would go after "Trivia", and would always use the theory templates. It would be omitted if there is no speculation. I'd also say that we should limit such speculation to only "highly plausible" theories. It's hard to say what makes a theory "highly plausible", but I'd say it at least needs to have multiple points of support in canon. If there are more off-the-wall theories to cover, like the "Nighthawk is Kuroe and AQ is Alina" theory, they could go on a separate page if someone really wants them to be on the wiki, but that sort of thing doesn't belong on the main page for sure.

Not putting any speculation whatsoever on the main page isn't great because there are some things that are technically speculation (as canon doesn't officially confirm it) but which appear to be an obvious consequence of some aspect of canon. Of course, if we decide these things aren't speculation at all, we could revist the issue of speculation on the main page. (Sorry, I don't have an example off the top of my head.)

I get why people would want to make the claim based on that, but I don't think any of those can be seen as more than just coincidences. Lots of people like strawberry milk, for example. And lots of people draw art. Admittedly there aren't very many that can make labyrinths, but there's no reason to assume that Alina is unique in that regard (even if she is unique in that regard amongst canon characters). Besides, isn't being part of a large group actually very ''unlike'' Alina? A-Q's personality in general is very unlike Alina, in fact. In short… sure, I can see the argument, but a pile of coincidences isn't really enough to merit putting it on Alina's or A-Q's main page.

For the Memoria and Portraits, I think it would be reasonable to have a sub-page for it entirely. There's way too many of them. We can have them like: Sayaka Miki/Memoria.[[User:Sweet Beanie|Sweet Beanie]] ([[User talk:Sweet Beanie|talk]]) 14:33, 27 November 2025 (UTC)

I'm not sure how good of an idea this is, but maybe we should directly change (or add an option in-) [[Template:Magia Record Memoria List]] and [[Template:Magia Exedra Portrait List]] to be smaller and simpler, to fit into a gallery page nicely. Having a separate page for memoria/portraits seems nice but would that mean that Candy (who has a total of 1 memoria and 3 portraits) should get her own page too? I think there's just too many witches/characters that have a small ammount of memoria/portraits to justify each one of them getting a page for those. In my idea the new templates would look more like the <nowiki><gallery></nowiki> syntax (again to fit into the galleries) and only keep the name and rarity of the memoria/portrait. This does sacrifice details which is not good but the detail is kind of the root of our problem. The details would still be visible on the memoria's/portrait's page, which in my opinion is okay enough. To be fair I have no idea how this would be done. - [[User:TheresaFrog421|TheresaFrog421]] ([[User talk:TheresaFrog421|talk]]) 00:52, 14 February 2026 (UTC)

Hmm… there's no See Also section either… they could go in References, but that doesn't quite fit.

----

There might be too many External links in some cases? Like Iroha is gonna have WAY too many, my only suggestion is that we either put them in the unit pages (maybe with <nowiki><noinclude></nowiki>) or get rid of them, but I guess since they're here in the first place, someone does care about them.

Also I believe the Infobox is fully finished! As of now its on [[Template:Infobox character/Test]] and fully documented. I decided to add unique colors to the infobox just so it looks nicer, we do that for Witches already so why not for everyone.

As of now I believe the only things to migrate before we can fully start this are Trivia and the External Links sections, but tbh I dont wanna do it. I have a lot of time but I already migrated all the Magireco Units into their own pages and all images so I believe its fair (╥﹏╥). - [[User:TheresaFrog421|TheresaFrog421]] ([[User talk:TheresaFrog421|talk]]) 15:18, 13 March 2026 (UTC)

I don't understand. Why would Iroha have so many external links? Why would any page have a lot of external links at the bottom (as opposed to sprinkled throughout)? ~ [[User:Celtic Minstrel|Celtic Minstrel]] ([[User talk:Celtic Minstrel|talk]]) 17:01, 15 March 2026 (UTC)

----

Iroha has so many because of how many record units she has, and yeah I agree that putting them on the bottom is worse, but I dont really know what you mean by sprinkled throughout? If you mean like what I said, where they would just be on the unit's page then yeah, I agree.

Also I have another thing I want to talk about, infobox images, cause right now we have pretty tight rules of what we use for them, with that usually being their appearance in their original media. But I think it would just be easier AND look better if we didnt do it this way. NOW I understand, right now we have '''In Magia Record''' pages, so I understand why the manga characters don't use images from record, as to differentiate the pages, but... after we get rid of them there should be nothing stopping us from using them. I already tested a LOT of characters with the infobox, and they all look way better when they use the profile images from record than just the colorless images from their original mangas. Its not like those images arent drawn by their artists, and theyre not Magia Record exclusive either, I mean Yuma has her art reused for her 3star Kioku for Exedra. Also there are pages that already break the rules such as Umika using an image from Madoka Magica Online. There are exceptions, such as the suzune characters already having colored images in their infoboxes, so I wouldnt change them, and also characters like Minou, her [[:File:Card 40244 l.png|profile image]] is pretty cluttered, and idk if it would be good to use it in the infobox.

You… haven't really answered the question of why Iroha would have so many external links at the bottom. I also don't know why you took "sprinkled throughout" to mean "on the unit's page" either. I probably wouldn't be asking if I knew what the links were.

I don't think the infobox image rules are as tight as you're saying. I know I've been saying that, ideally, the infobox image should be taken from the original media or auxiliary materials associated with it (like promotional materials for example). That's my opinion; was it really an actual rule? I do think it's typically better to have a colour image when available, though. Preferably still from or related to the original media. I definitely don't think it's good to turn things into "every character page now features an image from Magia Exedra in the infobox".

~ [[User:Celtic Minstrel|Celtic Minstrel]] ([[User talk:Celtic Minstrel|talk]]) 13:29, 14 April 2026 (UTC)

----

For why Iroha would have so many I said "Iroha has so many because of how many record units she has", and for why at the bottom, thats just because that's how they are now. Right now the links are at the bottom of the pages. If I took the sprinkled throughout wrongly then just explain it T-T, and if you don't know what links I'm talking about, I'm talking about the external links to youtube videos that appear at the bottom of character/old unit pages (ex: [[Iroha Tamaki#External links]]). I (also) said that I wouldnt mind just not keeping them but if they're there, that means someone cares about them.

The infobox thing is not an actual rule, its just that when you said it, I treated it like one, so dont mind the wording. You're right that using images from the original media would be preffered, but sometimes the Magireco images are just better, they represent the characters better (because they're colored). You're right about Exedra, but like I said, the profile images from Magireco (that I was saying are the images we should use) are drawn by their og artists, I wouldnt choose using a 3D render over a 2D one (unless we dont have any other like [[Yotsugi Ononoki]] right now), and its not even the case for Sumire and Fuka, where they still use their 2D images.

Okay, so bundling them at the bottom of the page definitely isn't the best look, though it's also nice to have them all together in one place… hmm… I could see some of them being moved to unit pages, perhaps.

I think this could even be a section separate from External Links, or even a separate page, which links to videos for everything related to a particular character.

Ultimately I don't know which approach is best. All three (four?) of the ones I just mentioned have significant downsides. Putting them at the bottom of the page (whether in External Links or a separate section) sorta looks like clutter and takes up a lot of space. Putting them on the unit pages makes them much, much less visible, and thus hard to find. Putting them on a separate page means a new page for every Magia Record/Exedra character to hold these links.

~ [[User:Celtic Minstrel|Celtic Minstrel]] ([[User talk:Celtic Minstrel|talk]]) 13:59, 14 April 2026 (UTC)

----

Maybe one page where ALL external links are all in one place? It would be VERY cluttered, but we could use the <nowiki>{{#ev:youtube||}}</nowiki> to make it look better. Imo putting them in unit pages is the most "correct" way of doing this, but this idea seems good too in my opinion. It would be called '''Gallery:Magia Record/Videos''' or something like that (definitely needs a better name). I'm not sure how it would be better to split up the videos though, by character, by type of animation or just by units. Idk in my opinion its the best way just because it doesnt clutter up any other page, but it also has the problem of being hard to find. What do you think?

- [[User:TheresaFrog421|TheresaFrog421]] ([[User talk:TheresaFrog421|talk]]) 14:23, 14 April 2026 (UTC)

Hmm, that's not a bad idea – using the Gallery namespace for videos seems like a pretty reasonable thing to do.

As you say, the actual organization of the Gallery page (or pages) could be done in a number of different ways, but whatever way is chosen, it can be linked to in the '''See Also''' section on all Magia Record pages.

My thought on organization would be to split it into the following pages:

* [[Gallery:Magia Record/Main Story Videos]] – divide the page into 5 sections for Main Story Arc 1, Another Story Arc 1, Main Story Arc 2, Another Story Arc 2, and Puella Historia
* [[Gallery:Magia Record/Event Story Videos]] – divide the page into sections by topic (eg Summer, Valentines, Tanabata) or year; Scene 0 could go here too, or maybe on a subpage of its own
* [[Gallery:Magia Record/Magical Girl Story Videos]] – divide the page into sections by faction or city, perhaps? Costume stories can go here too.
* [[Gallery:Magia Record/Magical Girl Quotes]] – as above

There are a lot of other options too, and I'm not sure if the above list is comprehensive. (And I realize that the first two items on the above list weren't what we were directly discussing here, but it does make sense to deal with them in the same way.)

We could then do a similar breakdown for Magia Exedra. Probably one page per section in the in-game Story Gallery.

I think your list is perfect, its really only missing transformation and battle animations (Magias, Doppels and 2nd Magias), though they could go under one page (like right now in the Exeternal Links sections theyre both under ''Gameplay Videos'').

Also I dont see a need to split the character based pages by anything really, but if by anything I would just split them the same way that theyre split on [[Magia Record Characters]].

The Magia Record Characters split doesn't really work if you're grouping by character – despite the name, that page is a list of ''units'', not characters, so the same character appears in several different places.

~ [[User:Celtic Minstrel|Celtic Minstrel]] ([[User talk:Celtic Minstrel|talk]]) 23:14, 14 April 2026 (UTC)

I meant the way the characters are split on there, without the units, so like ''Arc 1'', ''Arc 2'', ''Puella Historia'', ''Side Story'' and all that (just with some changes like not merging all the manga characters together).

Hmm… I suppose that ''might'' be okay, since it's just a list of links for each character… unless you were thinking of using the Youtube embed code and formatting it like a gallery? In that case it'd probably be better to break them down into smaller categories than "by arc" would produce.

I would prefer to use the Youtube embed code yes, I dont really see why we should split them THAT much though? Most characters will not have a lot of videos, plus we have the pages split by type of videos already.

Well, videos probably take up more space than a character icon, right? Maybe I'm wrong about this… they definitely take up more space than a list of links though.

But, I suppose it would be better to actually see it before making a final judgement.

Having seen what you did, I can say: I think it's very bad. There are way, way, waaay too many headers. I think having one header per character is a no go… and without one header per character, it may indeed make sense to subdivide some of those sections.

Sorry – I'm still not sure quite how best to divide them. Like, there are some obvious subdivisions (Crescent Moon Villa, Wings of the Magius, Nanaka's team, Mito's trio), but most of them aren't so clear; and even the ones that clear might be a bit too much.

Another option would be to ''not'' subdivide them at all – just make it an alphabetical list of all characters, like on the ages page.

By the way – this isn't related to the above question, but I think it would be worth making an **Appellations** section part of the standard layout – like on Emily's page, for a more extreme example. It would cover both how the character refers to others (for example, Kanagi usually uses the surname with -kun, except with those she's especially close to, in which case she uses the surname alone), and how others refer to the character. ~ [[User:Celtic Minstrel|Celtic Minstrel]] ([[User talk:Celtic Minstrel|talk]]) 18:34, 3 May 2026 (UTC)

That seems like useful info, but I think that info could just go into ''Personality and Traits''? Emily could get a subsection just for her nicknames list but I feel like for others this should just go to ''Personality and Traits''. Though maybe it should be a subsection of ''Personality and Traits''? I don't think this is a bad idea, just not as its own section.

This isn't related to anything previous too, but should we have a to-do list on top of the [[Puella Magi Wiki:Wiki Cleanup 2025/Article formatting|main page]]? It would be clearer what's being done/what is planned, cause right now its not that clear.

Yeah, I think it makes sense for it to be a subsection of Personality and Traits. Emily is a bit of an outlier in that she has a unique nickname for everyone, but I think quite a few characters have unique nicknames for at least a few people, so I think it's worth a separate section. That said, perhaps there are some characters where it would amount to a single line and thus a whole section might be excessive… but regardless, I think it's good to get that info in there.

As for a to-do list, that's a great idea! ~ [[User:Celtic Minstrel|Celtic Minstrel]] ([[User talk:Celtic Minstrel|talk]]) 12:59, 4 May 2026 (UTC)

Oh god I just remembered something we need to discuss, how do we make sure we dont edit pages at the same time and cause edit conflicts? I know we currently plan to categorize the pages that need fixing, so a DPL could be an easy list maker for us, but I was thinking maybe we should just make a regular list, that people can edit to write their username next to a page, save the edit, go edit the page, and when theyre done they delete the page from the list and claim another one. Again this probably has flaws im not thinking about right now, but I really dont want edit conflicts to happen. I also have no idea how many people will do this??? T-T The only ones talking here actively are me and Celtic.

I'd think the main thing to be worried about is someone making a small correction while you're rearranging the page, since there's no way to tell that you're currently working on it. The only thing you can really do about that is look at the change they made and manually make the same change in your copy (if it still applies).

The list you proposed for assigning pages to certain people makes sense if we expect multiple people to work on reformatting, but it looks like there may only be one or two people working on that, so it wouldn't have much of a benefit.

I'd like to help, but it is a bit unclear what the template/format that's been decided on is. I specifically avoided this discussion because it got a bit too lengthy so I imagine others did the same too. Many pages have issues like having the side story section repeated multiple times, etc. Nobody would have issues with streamlining character pages at all. I'd like to ask:

# what is the ultimate decision on character sub-pages? Is it still necessary to have a page family for a character? I'll make up a version for Yu to use her as my example, just imagine she appeared outside Magia Record, has many alts in Magia Record and also in Exedra (and yeah I also know we're using the full name for her, but just ignore that for the example, also just to clarify this version is tedious and too much in my opinion):
## Yu
### Yu in Magia Record
#### Yu (Kimono)
#### Yu (Windrider)
#### Yu (Scene 0)
#### Ultimate Yu
#### Holy Yu
#### Rumor Yu
#### Yu and Shi Duo
### Yu in Magia Exedra
#### Yu/Winter Killer

Btw for this I just suggest we consolidate it into a singular character page, which will have the entries for magia record, exedra, alts, duos, etc. That's how every other wiki usually has them.

# Second Question: for the parts like character history, appearances, symbolism/observations, can we start with some pages just to showcase what we mean to achieve? We can use characters like Mami or Sayaka to show that of course, but I brought up Yu specifically because her page is much more complete than others' with her backstory, appearances, personality, etc.

As for the character edit order, we can just call dibs and split it by a weekly basis. We can just check if the characters we've chosen to do have been called dibs on by Sunday overall, then if not, they're free real-estate. We can also check if anyone has started working on them with edits that very day. A masterlist for the characters, and tasks which have to be done would be helpful too.

Thank you for wanting to help.

For your first question we already decided to delete most of the pages, you can see how the planned pages will look on [[Puella Magi Wiki:Wiki Cleanup 2025/Article formatting#Article Mockup|the main page of this project]]. We will keep pages like Ultimate Madoka and Holy Mami, because they are distinct enough, and restricting them to their main forms is unnecessary. The Magia Record units already have their own pages, separate from the '''X (Variant)''' or '''X in Magia Record''' pages.

For your second question, we already the [[Puella Magi Wiki:Wiki Cleanup 2025/Article formatting#Article Mockup|Article Mockup on the main page]], but if you mean a more detailed one (as in with direct and correct info), then feel free to either edit the mockup, or make your own based on it.

If you want to see more things that are planned, see the To-do list on the main page, Its still WIP, but its based off your original list.

(I forgot to comment on the edit order) I don't really know what you mean? Do you mean like people choose their characters on Sunday, or do they choose them throughout the week and only start working on them after Sunday, or something else completelly?

- [[User:TheresaFrog421|TheresaFrog421]] ([[User talk:TheresaFrog421|talk]]) 10:01, 5 May 2026 (UTC)

Yeah, I meant specifically something like "Hey I'll do Puella Care so don't touch those." but if we want to be more planned about it, by using a list of characters/pages to consolidate, and then a simple note next to it, and if it's not gotten started within the week noted, their name is removed and someone else takes it.

Like this:
* Iroha Tamaki
** <del>Iroha Tamaki in Magia Record - Sweet Beanie</del>
** Iroha Tamaki in Magia Exedra - Sweet Beanie

And then after the sub-pages are consolidated, then all of Iroha is done. There also needs to be someone who just fixes up the main character's page, but only after the alts are integrated in there. When that also happens we can do the del tag like I did with record. In the example I showed, I finished Record Iroha and am planning on doing Exedra Iroha next. If I haven't even started by Sunday, or whenever it is that someone else feels like is a long enough time, someone can just put their name there and get to it.

For this we can have a few stages with lists to keep up the quality for every character. Like we can have:
# to be selected (the pool of unselected articles)
# in development (someone puts their name here next to the moved page name, articles shouldn't be listed here without someone's username next to it)
# integrated into main article (for the alts mostly, some unimportant characters like Rion can staright up skip this cuz they only have the one unit in one game, but this can also be used for alt outfits and such)
# quality assurance (just final check, or we put an article here if someone else feels like they're done with it but you feel like it still needs work)
# done

As for the Shizuka Mockup, I can see that her New Years alt isn't there. I think that's a missed opportunity to not have a hundred pages with minimal information on them. It would easily fit below the "In Magia Record" section and the same goes for Kioku alts like say Hallowen Mami. But if we decide against it, we should list the alts in the main pages at least and leave those versions solely for gameplay stuff, since there are alts with different powers and stuff but who only appear once. I think that details like story stuff and different powers should be kept in the main character page regardless.

I also suggest that for characters with heavy symbolism like Pernelle, we can have the "Observations" (or whatever title we wanna use for that section) right above trivia, or below history. However that section may now be the Notes part so that may be unnecessary to begin with.

I hope this is coherent.

OMG Wait I saw that NY Shizuka is there and so are the Mami exedra alts. Nevermind me I just can't read apparently. Maybe making the tabs colored to match the uni/alt colors would be nice but otherwise it's all gucci. Sorry again. ~ [[User:Sweet Beanie|Sweet Beanie]] ([[User talk:Sweet Beanie|talk]]) 15:21, 5 May 2026 (UTC)

Okay first of all, we're not working on the '''X in Magia Record''' and '''X in Magia Exedra''' pages at all, we're planning to delete them/make them redirects. This is why all the units are on the mockup already, the list will only consist of the main pages of characters.

I agree with (and like) the list idea, should it be a table or just a normal list? A table would be easier to keep control of in my opinion.

Also... I should have asked this before, but should we focus on actually filling the pages with info, or just leave them as stubs, cause I know it would be best to just straight up finish them, but I don't know a lot of characters' personalities and powers, so i fear I would only format the pages but not actually write the things :(

Suggestion: If you go with a list where people claim articles, I'd recommend tagging the ones you're doing with your signature, ie by adding <nowiki>~~~~</nowiki> at the end of the line. That automatically drops in a date as well, so you can see at a glance ''when'' it was claimed. ~ [[User:Celtic Minstrel|Celtic Minstrel]] ([[User talk:Celtic Minstrel|talk]]) 17:59, 5 May 2026 (UTC)

I forgot to respond to some things oops

<blockquote>I also suggest that for characters with heavy symbolism like Pernelle, we can have the "Observations"</blockquote>
A problem I think someone called out before, is that Observations and Trivia are mistaken for eachother (I know Im guilty of this too). I don't really know what Observations are? (as dumb as it sound), they just seem like assumptions, that might aswell be considered speculation at times. Sometimes its just analyses, which seems useful enough, and I think that makes it deserve its own section? Trivia is supposed to be ''facts'', so things like analyses do deserve their own section imo too.

<blockquote>Maybe making the tabs colored to match the uni/alt colors would be nice</blockquote>
I don't really know what the units colors would be? A lot of units would probably repeat colors and just end up not making a big difference, I dont think we should do this.

Oh yeah, you mentioned this in the observations part, but what are Notes gonna be? I was thinking they're Notes like how [[Nighthawk]] has a note about the wiki using they/them, or how [[Crépuscule de La Reine]] has a note about the wiki using that page name for her, even when her name is actually Isabeau. So more so notes about the wiki's handling of characters than anything in universe (this is a question mostly to Celtic).

I guess having the symbolism stuff in Trivia is an option.

Specifically I said to have alt colors for the tabs because I missed them the first few times. I imagine a lot of people would read an article and miss it entirely in the same way. Frankly I think the wiki could use some more styling in general, but that's just me

I think the notes would be for things like Tart vs Darc, or Nighthawk's and A-Q's pronouns, but yeah most characters won't have any at all.

I VERY MUCH agree that the wiki could use more styling (that's why I made the infoboxes have colors specific to the character). The problem is, tabbers are really annoying to work with, they dont accept ANY code into the tab titles (it will always convert it to pure text as if you used nowiki on it). So I'm pretty sure this is impossible T-T. I'm not sure if there's a way to update/upgrade the tabber extension to allow styling, but for now I don't see a real way to do that.

- [[User:TheresaFrog421|TheresaFrog421]] ([[User talk:TheresaFrog421|talk]]) 14:22, 6 May 2026 (UTC)

What…? There's plenty of leeway to apply styling to the tabs without needing to put markup in the tabber. Sure, it's unfortunate that that's not supported, but it's not needed for simple styling.

The way to do it would be something like this:

<pre>
<templatestyles src="WitchTabs.css" />
<div class="something">
<tabber>
|-| Whatever =
Content
</tabber>
</div>
</pre>

Then on the page Template:WitchTabs.css, add code similar to the following:

<pre>
.something > .tabber__tab {
put style rules here
}
</pre>

I completelly forgot about this sorry T_T. But thank you for bringing my hope back, I still don't really know ''what'' colors the unit names could have? (and how the template would even get them). I did have an idea of my own, but I know little about css and I'm not sure how possible it is. The idea was that the tabs would be little boxes, with not only the full name of the units (cause right now they're shortened) but also card images as the box's backgrounds?

These are my (poorly made) prototypes to what I have in mind:

<div style='border: solid 1.5px light-dark(black, white); height:75px; width:200px; display:inline-block; overflow:hidden; text-align:center; position:relative;border-radius:35px;'><div style="opacity:0.6;position:relative;z-index:-1;bottom:30px;">[[File:Gtm487fe9hn51.png|200px]]</div><div style="position:relative;bottom:300px;font-size:20px">'''Shizuka Tokime'''</div></div>
<div style='border: solid 1.5px light-dark(black, white); height:75px; width:200px; display:inline-block; overflow:hidden; text-align:center; position:relative;border-radius:35px;'><div style="opacity:0.6;position:relative;z-index:-1;bottom:50px;">[[File:Card 11254 c.png|200px]]</div><div style="position:relative;bottom:300px;font-size:20px">'''Shizuka Tokime (First Sunrise)'''</div></div>

The problem with this system is that I have no idea how in the world the template would get the correct Card image, and how it would position it correctly (cause the examples I made are uniquely positioned). The only way I can think of making this, is having a template that would just be endless <nowiki>{{#switch}}</nowiki>'es that would have to be manually set for the card images and the positions. That's why I kinda think it's a bad idea T-T.

- [[User:TheresaFrog421|TheresaFrog421]] ([[User talk:TheresaFrog421|talk]]) 09:59, 7 May 2026 (UTC)

I think in the same way that Witches have their own colors for their new "cards," we can just attribute unit colors so that they can be different from each other. Let's say Iroha:
* Standard - can remain colorless, since that's where we start out at, but alternatively it can just be the color of the girl's hair.
* Swimsuit - Light blue
* x Yachiyo - yachiyo blue
* x Ui - muted or light ui pink
* x Kuroe - Kuroe purple
* Anime - Iroha pink, or a darker tone because of the doppel.
* Infinite - Yellow/"gold"

It's not meant for official purposes, but just for the units to be differentiated from each other. The same way we all just kinda decided to have the new witch cards have the colors that they do, we will decide on the unit colors we decide on.

Even if it isn't done, I don't think it's important ulitmately, compared to the organization of info.

Most of what you did there is probably doable, but I suspect putting an image background might be too much for pure CSS. It is certainly possible to use images as backgrounds in CSS, but I ''think'' that may not work properly in MediaWiki (I think I tried it before) when the image is a file asset uploaded to the wiki; even if it ''does'' work, it would break the "What links here?" mechanism (the link wouldn't be counted, so if the image is ever deleted, it could go unnoticed for quite awhile).

Yeah I fear my idea was too complicated anyway, could you try out Sweet Beanie's idea? The problem I see, is how the template would even ''know'' which colors to give what unit...

- [[User:TheresaFrog421|TheresaFrog421]] ([[User talk:TheresaFrog421|talk]]) 08:44, 8 May 2026 (UTC)

----

Any approach that gives each tab a different style is going to be tricky. You ''could'' do it using <code>:nth-child</code> selectors, but that means every page needs its own template stylesheet, which to me seems like a huge pain (though you could still put most of the CSS in a common stylesheet and only the colours in each page's own stylesheet). I'd recommend instead thinking of something where all the tabs are uniformly styled.

But if you're really, really attached to the idea of each unit having its own tab colour, I can give it a shot on one page as an example. Let me know (and preferably, suggest a page to use).

~ [[User:Celtic Minstrel|Celtic Minstrel]] ([[User talk:Celtic Minstrel|talk]]) 12:46, 8 May 2026 (UTC)

----

We can use pre-determined colors so that each page can use them. Maybe the six colors of the rainbow, then gray or something, or they just repeat. Or we could use the colors of the Holy Quintet to make them more iconic. Then we can repeat them or continue with Nagisa, Mabayu, Selma, Choka and the unnamed Kaiten Girl. That's just what I'd do. So it'd be pink, purple, yellow, blue, red, nagisa color, indigo, orange, green, kaiten girl color.

~ [[User:Sweet Beanie|Sweet Beanie]] ([[User talk:Sweet Beanie|talk]]) 16:21, 8 May 2026 (UTC)

----

I would choose the rainbow colors instead of the Holy Quintet ones, because yeah they're iconic, but I don't think they really make sense here?

Also I got another idea (T-T), maybe the template could take the tab name (so the unit name) and get the unit's icon by its name, then put it into that tab. It would basically look like this: <nowiki>[[File:{Unit name}_MR_Icon.png|100px]]</nowiki>. The Icon would appear above the name (probably shortened name). Again, I'm not sure how possible/annoying this is, just a suggestion 0.0

(Forgot to add something, if we make a page for Units and a page for Kioku, Icons would be needed anyway. Obviously we already have all Record icons, but they have frames that I don't like T_T)

Using a fixed set of colours is easy. Anything that requires differing setup per-page (like the icons you mentioned) would be a bit of a pain.

Could you try both? Like write both options on one css page, then take the code of [[Template:Magia Record Game Info]] and apply the css maybe on the project page? (Or your Sandbox page). I suggest just doing it for Iroha, she has every type of unit. I still think icon idea is a good one, so I dont want to just let it go.

I threw together a quick sample at [[User:Celtic Minstrel/Sandbox/TabStyling]]. After a bit of thought though, I think the icons probably can't be done in pure CSS the current software (unless they're uploaded independently of the wiki on the same hosting, like the fonts are, but that seems like a terrible idea).

~ [[User:Celtic Minstrel|Celtic Minstrel]] ([[User talk:Celtic Minstrel|talk]]) 17:13, 9 May 2026 (UTC)

I did manage to get the concept of the second version working, with the underline colours (it's very hard to see though because the Sanitized CSS model doesn't support setting the underline thickness, which is really annoying). If you wanted per-page customization, that would be the approach; but using icons or any sort of images for it probably isn't viable in the current software.

Okay I'll have to abandon the icons idea :‹. But I think I do like the colors idea way more now that I see an example, just not the rainbow part... Obviously the colors were quickly chosen just for the test and will be less saturated, but I do NOT like the look of the rainbow here T-T. It reminds me very much of how kids books overuse rainbows everywhere in them, it looks very tacky. My best suggestion for the colors is the gradient from the MagiReco logo, the one on Iroha.

Yes, I spent absolutely no time on choosing colours – I just selected named colours that roughly correspond to the rainbow. Of course, for the real thing we'd carefully choose each colour, and as you say they'd be much less saturated. The rainbow might still work with less saturated colours – I'm not sure.

Basing it on that blue to pink to yellow/orange gradient doesn't seem like a terrible idea, but I don't know if you'd get enough different colours out of that? It's up to whoever does it though.

Okay I got colors that I honestly like:

They are taken from the image, but more satured. I think they're really nice but I do think the second and fifth color are quite boring. - [[User:TheresaFrog421|TheresaFrog421]] ([[User talk:TheresaFrog421|talk]]) 18:12, 9 May 2026 (UTC)

If blue text is a problem we can always make it not be blue, just saying.

I like all of these colour sets.

I agree, I think the second set is the best. I think we're ready to port this into the actual template? I was thinking of making different colors for the Exedra template (when my suggestion was using the Magireco logo colors), but since these colors stray away from that idea anyway I think it would be okay if we used them for the Exedra template too. Also I think it would be better if the tabs didn't have borders? Like just the color would look better in my opinion.

Not really on topic, but also kinda? I really do wish this wiki had WAY more styling, because wdym we don't have a logo or an icon. Like the "icon" we do have is just a '''P''' on my laptop because of the site name (for some reason the page [[Kuro (くろ)]] shows an Iroha icon that Ive never seen on any other page tho????). Also I wish we had a "theme"? Like a background and stuff like that, I know the Exedra wiki has that, but they use Vector (2022) as their main skin, and we use Vector legacy (I use 2022). For example the [https://stardewvalleywiki.com/Stardew_Valley_Wiki Stardew Valley wiki] has a great look, and it looks like its in Vector legacy, I don't know if this is an extension or what, cause I haven't looked into it yet, but I do think this is something we should atleast consider doing.

I'm not completely sure (I think you might need to be logged in to see? Unless it can be determined from the developer console), but it looks like Stardew Valley is just using the Monobook theme.

Short of coding an entirely new theme, most customization to the MediaWiki theming is done by editing [[MediaWiki:Common.css]]. Since you don't have permission to edit that, however, you can experiment by creating a Common.css file in your user space, for example [[User:TheresaFrog421/Common.css]]. Once you get something you like, you can propose it to be moved to the main commons file. It's also possible to add rules that only apply to specific skins by creating pages like Monobook.css or Vector.css, if that seems necessary. (This works both in user space and global space.)

As for the wiki logo, I can agree this one's kind of lacklustre, but I don't really have any alternate suggestions. I think only [[User:0x99]] can change the logo.

We're really close to starting, the only big thing left to do is to move trivia from the Magireco and Exedra pages to the main character pages. Could someone start doing that?

Also one thing I want to know, should the History sections be formatted like the current Timeline articles? As in it follows the character's story chronologically instead of when each story were released. I think this would be cleaner, but could be annoying (in cases like Oriko Magica where its a weirdly placed timeline).

- [[User:TheresaFrog421|TheresaFrog421]] ([[User talk:TheresaFrog421|talk]]) 12:58, 9 July 2026 (UTC)

: I'd vote against it since that format is meant to be filled with less detail and would overall just look ugly in my opinion, especially since characters like Iroha have a lot of information. Yu and Sudachi's pages are pretty much finished and filled with the normal text format so I think we can continue from there. I propose not naming each Magia Record event with a header and to also just begin paragraphs with "In [[Magia Record - Last Bird's Hope]], ..." If the timelines are different, we can make a header for each one. For Oriko it would just be an extra header for Extra Story since Oriko Magica and Sadness Prayer tell the same story (one just has more scenes and better art). ~ [[User:Sweet Beanie|Sweet Beanie]] ([[User talk:Sweet Beanie|talk]]) 13:15, 9 July 2026 (UTC)

If the history sections will be formatted as "In {media}" should we change the Game sections to not have the "In" in them?

Something like this:

===In Magia Record===

==Magia Record==

Generally, a page shouldn't have empty sections. I suppose you could set it to review when there are empty sections, but it should not be set to done with empty sections. If there's nothing to put in those sections, then delete them entirely.

==Transcripts==

''Re: transcripts'' (or rather, fair use?)

Sorry for digging up this topic, but I sort of wonder if a transcript would cross the acceptable use line into an actual copyright infringement. The sad fact here is that I'm physically located in Japan, and there's use law here. There has been a case where a company successfully sued people for posting transcripts online (e.g. [https://www.watch.impress.co.jp/docs/news/1635590.html this Kadokawa's case], although another news source mentioned that this was due to [https://www.itmedia.co.jp/news/articles/2411/12/news134.html the owners profiting from it]). From this perspective, a summary or a synopsis is more preferable. (I appreciated the effort to put up the transcript, but I want to make sure the wiki stays clear of possible legal issues.)

Looking around in other Japanese wiki websites for social games, most of them use cards, event illustrations, and character sprites from the game, so I guess this is as far as acceptable use goes. (Since we're on this topic, we probably should review all the scanned material stuff in this wiki as well. A few pages or a snippet of a page is probably fine, but an entire scan may be a bit too much...)

-- [[User:0x99|0x99]] ([[User talk:0x99|talk]]) 16:00, 4 December 2025 (UTC)
:I had been wondering about that too. The game is free to play, and we're not profiting from it, and having access to the transcripts can be quite useful; so I do hope it's not a problem. But I can definitely understand the concern.
:And when it comes to scanned pages, I really think it's better to just cut out any images and upload them separately, similar to what I did with the anime guidebook scan [[Mikazuki_Villa#Other|here]] (I would've deleted the original scan, but figured some of the text that didn't make it into the crops may be worth translating first). If the page is entirely text, I don't think it should be uploaded at all (there may or may not be an argument for posting a transcription of the text, but posting the scan as an image is just silly). ~ [[User:Celtic Minstrel|Celtic Minstrel]] ([[User talk:Celtic Minstrel|talk]]) 19:13, 4 December 2025 (UTC)
::: Yeah, I think only cutting the relevant part is the safest way for scans.

::: My understanding is that the US law is more relaxed with this with fair use and DMCA, especially if the website is not making any profit. The operator is largely shielded from liability as long as they respond to a takedown request. The problem here is that the legal jurisdiction of a website is based on the jurisdiction of its operator (that would be me in this case), and Japan's version of this does not shield the operator from such liability. (Which is why it may be fine for other wikis, as long as they don't operate in Japan).
::: As for existing transcripts, I know that some do exist on the wiki, but there were few enough (amusingly, I wasn't aware of Madoka Online ones until now), and some are more of a quotation (e.g., [[The Rebellion Story/Transcript]]). However, having transcripts for the entire Magia Exedra may put the wiki in a less defensible position. There's also a Null Magical Girl translation (and other translations) that might also cross the acceptable line, which likely needs a similar discussion.

== Monster Pages ==

I was planning on starting this topic later, but I'm impatient and wanna get opinions on this - I think "Monster" pages should look way more similar to our planned character pages and use the same infobox. Last year I created [[Template:Witch Card]] which was because of complaints about [[Template:Card]], and while I like the template, I don't like a lot of parts that come with it. For example I don't like how pages like [[Kriemhild Fausut]] and [[Paola]] have (imo) worse images at the front just because of how we make the pages look (the whole appearances/descriptions divide).

So in my opinion, when we start changing the character pages, we should change those pages too. I have a conceptual infobox on my [[User:TheresaFrog421/Sandbox|sandbox page]], so please take a look before just rejecting the idea. Also sections like ''Appearance'' and ''Personality and Traits'' would be really good for Witch pages.

Now obviously there are a lot of issues that come with this too.

* '''Descriptions'''
The descriptions would definitely not go into the infobox, for obvious reasons. I think it would be easy to make a collapsible template (or just a plain table) that would easily store them.

* '''Familiars'''
This is a bigger issue, and Im not fully sure how to approach it. Right now my plan is to keep them as a part of the Witch's page, but have them be way more detached than they are right now, with their own sections and infobox. Im worried this would look very messy, but thats my solution for now. They would only have their own ''Appearance'', ''Personality and Traits'' and (maybe) ''Powers and Abilities'' sections, as the others would be better if they were general.

This is an even bigger change than last year with the Witch Card, so please let me know what you think. I'd rather have this idea be shut down than ignored. - [[User:TheresaFrog421|TheresaFrog421]] ([[User talk:TheresaFrog421|talk]]) 17:15, 17 April 2026 (UTC)

I forgot one more issue -
* '''Multiple forms'''
I can't deny that the current look supports multiple forms of a Witch way better than my proposed one will, but my solution to this would be just putting the images in a tabber tag. What forms count towards this is imo something for discussion, cause for Homulilly I wouldnt put the first form of the Nutcracker Witch into the Infobox (only second form and the og witch from portable) but I would put both forms of Charlotte. Also would the less serious forms count into this, like Patricia's Excercise Witch or the Christmas Gertrud.

- [[User:TheresaFrog421|TheresaFrog421]] ([[User talk:TheresaFrog421|talk]]) 19:41, 17 April 2026 (UTC)

----

I can't say I'm overly a fan of this idea. At first, when I saw your sample, it seemed mostly neutral (but I was still more attached to the status quo). But once you noted the "Multiple Forms" issue, I realized that the infobox is just too small to handle that well. I don't understand why you'd exclude the first form of Homolilly?

Incidentally, for what you call "less serious" forms, in my opinion they're best treated as entirely separate witches that just happen to resemble the base witch. Maybe they don't deserve a page of their own; but a separate section at the bottom of Gertrud's page for "non-canon variants" or whatever you want to call them could be good.

I don't have an issue with adding ''Personality'' or ''Appearance'' sections to witch pages though.

~ [[User:Celtic Minstrel|Celtic Minstrel]] ([[User talk:Celtic Minstrel|talk]]) 17:08, 18 April 2026 (UTC)

----

You're right about the multiple forms problem, as its the worst one here, but I still think basing the way we treat Witches/Monsters by how many descriptions they have feels wrong... I guess this is a personal opinion, but the more I spend time with the current template the more I dislike it, its kinda uncontrolable (like squishing Candy's page makes her weirdly move), the backgrounds can be a problem (imo Shin and Zenobia blend too much into their backgrounds), and overall why do only Monsters get Appearances in their infobox? Like I said originally, I made the template, so I know Im complaining mostly about things I created, but I did highly base it off of the older template/the way the cards were being created, and obviously those were flawed too. I know there are 100% other ways to fix the things Im complaining about, but in my opinion, it would be so much more cleaner to use similar infoboxes to characters (obv with some different parameters). Again, the forms are a big issue, but its not like human characters dont have this issue too? The Holy Quintet all got redesigns for the new movie, and I was thinking that those should go into their infoboxes too once (or if) we get clean renders. I genuinely just think that there's too many issues with the current template and I think the infobox is the way to fix them, Im open for different (and maybe better) suggestion, but I really wanna sort this out.

:I forgot about Homulilly, what I meant was, that basically I would only put 2 images into the infobox, titled ''Mortal World Witch'' and ''Nutcracker Witch'', with only showing one form of the Nutcracker Witch. It is more correct to put both there, but I was thinking of being more minimalistic with it, right now I'm kinda conflicted with it...

- [[User:TheresaFrog421|TheresaFrog421]] ([[User talk:TheresaFrog421|talk]]) 17:37, 18 April 2026 (UTC)

----

Y'all please don't ignore this (not only adressing Celtic), I genuinely think the Witch/Monster pages need cleaning up. I mean Ai has a list of voice actors, but since she doesnt use the character infobox it has to be in trivia, which I think is ridiculous, the same goes for Izabel (/Michaela) and Bebe. In my opinion the way we treat the Monster pages fits for a wiki like the Magireco wiki or Exedra wiki, but in our case the Monsters arent just enemies, I mean Ai could have a full infobox, but since we dont treat her like we do with humans, she’s stuck with the template that stores less information. I mean the only thing that separates Ai and Sakurako is how they’re treated in Gameplay of Record and Exedra, so why does that affect how we treat her (and every other monster).

Back to the forms, I was thinking of ways to keep the infobox idea and separate the forms properly… I was thinking of splitting the pages if the Witches were distinct enough (So Kriemhild Gretchen would be split to Salvation and Despair, Homulilly to Mortal World and Nutcracker), but that would mean Shitori Egumo would be split too, which feels wrong? I dont think its the best idea, but its an idea. Like on my sandbox page, I would just put them in one infobox under tabbers.

Again this is an issue that could be fixed a different way, without using the same infoboxes as humans. - [[User:TheresaFrog421|TheresaFrog421]] ([[User talk:TheresaFrog421|talk]]) 13:50, 24 April 2026 (UTC)

Well, there's no reason we couldn't add an infobox for Ai and Sakurako (maybe even the default character infobox), but how does that extend to redoing ''all'' the witch/monster pages? Most of them aren't really characters, just faceless enemies. ~ [[User:Celtic Minstrel|Celtic Minstrel]] ([[User talk:Celtic Minstrel|talk]]) 17:44, 24 April 2026 (UTC)

----

I just don't think we should separate them that much. Most Witches have a personality, and a lot have a story and importance, I wouldn't really NOT call them characters. Now I do understand some parts where we dont "count" them as characters (like them not being under [[:Category:Characters]]), but like I said before, we're not a wiki where ''their role'' is an enemy. I understand why the Magireco wiki uses that look for their Witch pages ([https://magireco.fandom.com/wiki/Rebecca example]), because in the Game Magia Record, they're just an enemy. That wiki doesn't care about them as characters because theyre just enemies, but we're not a game wiki, so I don't really see how them being enemies in the story doesnt make them enough of characters to have a completely different infobox look.

== Todo List ==

Some comments on the new todo list…

* For Phase 2's "Delete the Meme Pages" I'd argue that it's already handled by the Community namespace, so we can remove that.
* Instead of "Category:Cleanup Needed" I think it should use a dedicated category, like "Category:Wiki Cleanup Project".
* The style guide would go in the "Project" namespace, or possibly the "Help" namespace.
* Phase 3 step 1 says "we all know the ones". That's an incorrect assumption. You can't assume everyone knows everything. This step may involve extensive discussion.
* I think it's reasonable to use the speculation box on the same page, but we should at least make sure there isn't any speculation outside of a speculation box (with the possible exception of very, very obvious logical deductions, but even then, be very careful, because what's obvious to one person may not be obvious to another).
* Why are Magia Record and Magia Exedra treated so differently in phase 5?
* If Magia Record Characters is going to lose its unit focus, I think there should be a new Magia Record Units page which is almost exactly what Characters is now (but omit the minor characters, which don't have units, and possibly the enemies, which likewise don't have units). The same could go for Magia Exedra Characters.

</blockquote>

What's the reason for all of this? I don't think there's any reason why the infobox couldn't support all of those same parameters with the same meanings, and it would make the migration much easier if it did.

Regarding origin/residence, I'd argue there's merit in keeping both. They're often the same, but sometimes they're different.

~ [[User:Celtic Minstrel|Celtic Minstrel]] ([[User talk:Celtic Minstrel|talk]]) 19:47, 4 May 2026 (UTC)

----

I'll respond to the things I directly changed/added:

<blockquote>Why are Magia Record and Magia Exedra treated so differently in phase 5?</blockquote>

Well, because they don't work the same, if you mean the redirects, then thats just because of how Magia Record characters ARE units, while Magia Exedra characters arent units directly, they just have units. I don't see anything wrong with making them link to the character's first Kioku though. For every other point about the games in phase 5, its just because of how the Templates work/were made.

<blockquote>If Magia Record Characters is going to lose its unit focus, I think there should be a new Magia Record Units page</blockquote>

I agree, but there's a few issues. If it went into '''Magia Record Units''', all the unit pages would be subpages of it, and would have a link at the top of their page, which I think would be very ugly... This could be fixed if we maybe moved the unit pages to a ''namespace'' called "Magia Record Unit"? (obviously we'd have to do the same thing for Kioku). Also what about [[Magia Exedra Characters]] already displaying Kioku? I know it doesnt go into details but still.

As for everything in your second message (I dont want to put all that into a blockquote T-T).

It's just for easier use, right now in the new infobox, the age parameter's content doesn't link to the ''Characters by age'' pages, rather the first cell of the row does, I did this because of one character - [[Yuma (Mami Tomoe's Mundane Everyday Life)]], her age directly changes in the manga (like you can see on her [[Talk:Yuma (Mami Tomoe's Mundane Everyday Life)|talk page]]), this doesn't happen often (this might be the only character we know this happens to lol) but we should accommodate the template for that, that's why I just fused all the age parameters into one (well, all but agepage).

I just kinda did the same thing for the Witch parameters, the difference from age is that this parameter needs to link, but I think that just makes the parameter simpler. There is a problem with the Doppel though, cause it wouldnt support a note the same way the '''Character Details''' does... (I was thinking of maybe making it that so you can still add a note if you put the doppel name into square parenthesis and the template would somehow detect the name and separate it, the same way ''Magia Exedra Stats'' does it, but I havent looked into it and have no idea how it even works).

For the origin thing, its just that I dont really understand why someone would care about the characters hometown and not where they live currently, not like every page listens to that anyway (Iroha has Kamihama listed in there), changing the parameter would just keep it easier to see, and I don't think it's that hard to do.

<blockquote>Well, because they don't work the same, if you mean the redirects, then thats just because of how Magia Record characters ARE units, while Magia Exedra characters arent units directly, they just have units.</blockquote>
This doesn't make any sense whatsoever. I don't see any reasonable evidence for the claim that "Magia Record characters ARE units". There are clearly multiple units for the same character. I think I'd say that X in Magia Record should generally redirect to the character page, but X (Variant) could redirect to the unit page, and in some cases where there's more than one X in Magia Record for the same character (Homura mainly), perhaps those could point at the unit page too.

Making X in Magia Record redirect to the unit page isn't the ''worst'' thing to do, but in that case, it's still weird that X in Magia Exedra doesn't do the same.

There's also the option to just delete all the X in Magia Record and X in Magia Exedra pages. They're not really needed even as redirects in this system, right? The only reason to keep them would be to avoid link rot, but I bet there aren't that many places linking directly to them, so maybe those places can just be updated and the pages can be removed.

<blockquote>If it went into '''Magia Record Units''', all the unit pages would be subpages of it</blockquote>
Huh? Why? I mean, that certainly could be done, but it's not a given. Is there a reason for it? Your phrasing makes it sound like you think it ''shouldn't'' be done, so why are you assuming we'd have to do something you think is bad? I don't see what namespaces have to do with this, either.

<blockquote>It's just for easier use, right now in the new infobox, the age parameter's content doesn't link to the ''Characters by age'' pages, rather the first cell of the row doe…</blockquote>
I don't understand. This all seems tangential to the actual question… what, exactly, does fusing them make easier? Not fusing makes it easier to maintain a consistent style for notes. Fusing them makes this harder. Based on that it seems like fusing them isn't a good option, but maybe it brings something else to make up for that – what is that something else?

The same goes for the witch parameters. I don't understand how the change is an improvement. (I will admit that the witch parameters are quite weird though, so I'm open to some sort of change; just not sure that this is the one.)

I was gonna argue about how they are still units and all, but I do fully agree with this. I know having redirects is useful, but I don't like redirects that are exist because of a previous way of handling things. We already have redirects that I think should just be wiped like the old Kioku pages (ex: [[Kush Irina in Magia Exedra/Seraphic Trial]]).

<blockquote>Huh? Why? I mean, that certainly could be done, but it's not a given. Is there a reason for it?

Okay I'll try to be more clear? I meant that if the page that collects all units like characters goes directly under the name '''Magia Record Units''', then all the separate unit pages would be that page's children, because they're all named '''Magia Record Units/{Unit name}'''. This would create a link on the unit pages back to '''Magia Record Units''', which like I said, wouldnt be good. The thing is, I don't think any other name for that page makes sense, that's why I suggested the custom namespace for the unit pages. I honestly would like to move them to a separate namespace, if I made it seem like I don't want to do it then I did something wrong cause I think its a good idea T-T. I'm not fully sure how custom namespaces even work, from what I remember they just kinda do nothing but help separate pages from the "main ones", and I think that would be a good thing for the unit pages (Obviously everything I just said also applies to Exedra and Kioku).

<blockquote>what, exactly, does fusing them make easier?</blockquote>

I understand ''why'' we let the templates do the formatting at times, like the Infobox I made separates '''name_en''', '''name_jp''' and '''name_romaji''', when in theory (and by the logic I apply to '''age''' and '''witch''') they could be one parameter with the Nihongo template being made by the user directly on a page... but obviously that's not the case, because that just makes it more annoying and unnecessarily complex, when a template is supposed to make things like this easy. So... why do I think this logic DOES apply to '''age''' and '''witch'''? Because its just... text, for witch, we already link a lot of stuff in the infobox like relatives and places, whats the point of forcing the Witch parameters to be so weird, where instead of:
<pre>
|witch=Yes
|witchlink=Maybe
|witchnote=No
</pre>
We can just have:
<pre>
|witch=[[Maybe|Yes]] (No)
</pre>
Is it an opinion that this is better??? Because I think it is, it allows way more flexibility in what's written there, and while I know that this might mean that more mistakes will happen, like someone not linking to the witch page correctly, but its still way more flexible and controllable. All of this applies to '''age''' too but it's not the exact same, what I meant by:

<blockquote>right now in the new infobox, the age parameter's content doesn't link to the ''Characters by age'' pages, rather the first cell of the row does</blockquote>

In ''Character Details'' the age is either forced to be a single number, or it's not counted as an exact age. I fused it to just be way more flexible too, because (like I said) there are characters that change ages, and no I don't think we should just type one of them as the main one and the other as a note, that's limiting ourself for no reason. I know that the direct age helped to link to the ''Character by age'' page sections, and while I think that's good, there's no point in limiting ourselves just for something that's not that important. Again, the Doppel parameter does really complicate things, but I fear we first need to discuss this before we get to that.

If things still sound confusing or I missed something Im sorry T-T

Okay, so I think I get what you meant with the Magia Record Units thing. You're assuming that the Magia Record units will be handled identically to the Magia Exedra units, where all units fall under one subpage. But then you say it would be bad for the unit page to link back to the list of units? Why would that be bad? Actually, it would probably be good if [[Magia Exedra Kioku]] also had a list of all units.

As for the age/witch question…

<blockquote>it allows way more flexibility in what's written there</blockquote>
Well, keep in mind that part of the point in doing it the other way is to ''remove'' flexibility, in favour of keeping the format consistent. So saying it allows more flexibility isn't really an argument in and of itself. Do you have reasons why you think the witch info needs more flexibility? I think you did give at least one reason for the age info…

<blockquote>there are characters that change ages, and no I don't think we should just type one of them as the main one and the other as a note</blockquote>
I'm not really sure what you mean by "change ages"? Magia Record/Exedra (in general) doesn't really have a progression of time – the girls don't age. Even if they did, it would seem a bit weird to give multiple ages in that case. And if you're talking about Yuma, the MTEL version is arguably a separate character who shares the same name. Or, do you mean that they might be a different age in other works? For example, you want to give Mami's age in MTEL or Different Story (1 year younger), or Yachiyo's age in Beginning Story (is that the right title?) or Crescent Memoria, etc.

Still, even if we need it to be more flexible, that doesn't necessarily mean we need to make it completely freeform.

I do agree that the witch/doppel situation is weird. The doppel parameter presumes the existence of a specific section on the page, after all.

The unit pages already have links on the top, to add another one would just be ugly. Do characters have a link at the top back to their character pages? no. Do Episodes have a link at the top back to their anime? no. This seems useless and would just disrupt the look of the pages in my opinion.

For ages - the MTEL Yuma is a different version, yes, but that's not important, in MTEL Yuma directly ages, she goes from 5 to 6, and I think that should be noted in the infobox like:
<pre>
5 (chapters # - #)
6 (chapter # onwards)
</pre>
I do agree that giving all ages to characters might be too much? Like with Yachiyo, I would 100% put both 12 and 19 in her infobox (because they're the most important), but I dont think we should put the other ages, at most for Crescent Memoria (which happens like 1/2 years before the main story right?). Obviously putting things like:
<pre>
1 (Opening scene #1)
4 (Opening scene #2)
6 (Opening scene #3)
14 (Madoka Magica)
</pre>
Is... no, but if the aging happens DURING the story like with Yuma, or we have stories with characters with known different ages (I think by that logic Breakpoint would count for Yachiyo and Mifuyu too), then yes, I believe they should be put into the infobox.

About the flexibility, yes that's what I meant with my "name argument", that the names aren't that flexible, but I think age and witch should be. Age and Witch in my opinion just have too many parameters, making any age that isnt a direct number use <code>approxage</code> just doesn't really make sense to me. Yes, uniformity is something we NEED, its a part of the wiki's big problems, but I dont think this would ruin it?? Most parameters ARE freeform already, and that's what makes the infobox comfortable to work with. The images are freeform, but they could be forced to lose the File prefix, the size and just be done automatically, but they're not as to not force weird situations where the image is too big and comes out small, or just ends up weird. We're already planning big changes to the wiki, so in my opinion we should fix small annoying things like this too, I understand why you dont like this idea, but I just think it's gonna be way less annoying to work with in the future (apart from doppels but well...).

???

Episodes having a link back to their anime sounds like a good thing, though? Why would that be considered bad?

What on earth does a character linking back to their character page mean? They ''are'' the character page… aren't they? There'd be a link to itself?

Anyway… so how do you propose we link to the character ages page? Doing that manually is going to be ''way'' more annoying and error-prone than doing it automatically, if you ask me. I get that you want to support multiple ages, but that could also be done with age_1, age_2, age_3, agenote_1, agenote_2, agenote_3 etc.

<blockquote>What on earth does a character linking back to their character page mean? They ''are'' the character page… aren't they? There'd be a link to itself?</blockquote>

Okay my bad, I didnt make it make sense cause I was writing this while tired T-T. What I meant was like if Iroha had a big link to [[Magia Record Characters]], because that's how it would look right now with the units. I still think the Unit and Kioku pages should be moved to special namespaces... I would be up for doing that, but it would be nicer to have someone who can move without leaving a redirect do it (Im not about to ask for admin permissions o_o).

<blockquote>Doing that manually is going to be ''way'' more annoying and error-prone than doing it automatically</blockquote>

Yeah, that's just the truth... But doing the age_1, agenote_1 would just be dumb. Most characters dont age, so the only thing to do would be moving their ''agenote'' to the ''age'' parameter, and changing ''approxage'' to ''age'' if its there. The characters that ''do'' age would be more complicated and error-prone like you said, but its still a very easy system. There's only 3 people wanting to work on this right now, and I doubt any of us would make those mistakes really, especially if the code would just be something like <code><nowiki>12 (Event Name) 18 (Breakpoint/Crescent Memoria) 19 (Main Story)</nowiki></code>.

I guess I just don't see the issues you see with these ideas.

Seems like you missed my point? Your example doesn't even link to the characters by age page. Automating that link is the primary reason I think merging the age field is a bad idea.

Why is age_1, agenote_1 etc dumb? It means you can put several in there and they all follow the same format automatically.

Another option though would be to technically merge the field, but write in the documentation that "content should be one or more invocations of Template:Age". Then make Template:Age that looks something like <code><nowiki>{{Age|42|estimated}}</nowiki></code> which expands to <code><nowiki>[[Characters by Age#42|42]] (estimated)</nowiki></code>. Maybe allow not using that template if the age is unknown or approximate, or maybe add an <code>approx=true</code> parameter for that case (depending on whether we want a common styling for it).

For the witch field I think it's not that big of a deal to merge them, having considered it a bit. The only question would be how we want to handle the doppel case (if at all) where there's no dedicated page for that witch, but… it could always be handled by redirects that just redirect back to the proper section on the same page, I guess.

<blockquote>Seems like you missed my point? Your example doesn't even link to the characters by age page. Automating that link is the primary reason I think merging the age field is a bad idea.</blockquote>

Yeah before in this conversation I said that the link to the ''Characters by Age'' page is on the first cell (the cell that just says "Age"). I would argue that this is better even if it makes it so that the link doesnt put you on that age's section, but honestly the idea of Template:Age might just solve this.

<blockquote>Maybe allow not using that template if the age is unknown or approximate</blockquote>

Template:Character Details already doesn't support putting "not basic" numbers into ''age'', so wouldnt we be able to just check if its a basic number?, if it is - it would link to the appropriate section, and if it isn't - it would link to the Unknown section the same way ''approxage'' does it on Template:Character Details.

For Doppels, that would be an easy solution, but I would prefer to keep it without the page reloading... I still don't know how that would work (and like before my only idea is to have the template somehow find and separate the name of the Doppel and everything else so it knows what should link and what shouldnt).

Oh yeah this isn't related to what we're talking about, but I think it would be a good idea if we had a Staff Template. Basically it would just be a big <nowiki>{{#switch}}</nowiki> that would change between any real person related to this series and choose a link for that person. The reason I think we should have this, is just to be consistent with links. I've seen it before where some pages link voice actors to japanese wikipedia, some to the english wikipedia, and other to different sites. It would be way easier if they were all in one place, and pages would just use the template like <nowiki>{{Staff|Chiwa Saitou}}</nowiki> instead of having to link every name on every page.

While I wait for the response on my idea for Template:Staff I have more questions about ''Magia Record Units'' and ''Magia Exedra Kioku''.

I'm still set on the namespaces idea for the unit pages themself, I already ran the "linking to the root page" argument to the dirt, but also why would they be subpages of that page, it felt okay when we didn't plan on even creating pages like these, but now it just feels wrong to have them be subpages of a page that collects them. Again, for the moving of the pages into that namespace, it would 100% be the best idea to get someone who can choose to not leave redirects to do it, but again I think that's only you, and unless you can give me permissions temporarily, then its either you do it or we leave redirects behind T-T (and break the existing ones). If I could get the permissions I would also just delete the redirects that the pages already have, as I remember moving them quite a lot. One more thing, after those pages get created, should [[Magia Record Characters]] and [[Magia Exedra Characters]] still use the special character cell templates? I can see the argument for Exedra to stay the same, but Record definitely shouldn't.

I still don't really understand your arguments at all. It might be a bit unusual for every unit page to have a breadcrumb link back to [[Magia Record Units]], but I don't see why it would feel wrong – linking back to the collection page seems completely normal to me. The only thing that might be slightly odd is that the link is a breadcrumb link, but I don't think that's really an issue?

About the character cell templates, I think they're basically made for the unit focus, so they should be used on [[Magia Record Units]]; but when it comes to [[Magia Record Characters]], perhaps the basic character cell template is better? I think the same applies to Magia Exedra, probably.

You don't need to worry about redirects. The redirects can just be deleted later. I think you actually have permission to delete the redirects yourself? But do make sure to update anything linking to them first (using the What Links Here feature – click on the redirect, click on the "redirected from" link at the top, and then click on "What Links Here" in the toolbar).

Yeah that's my main problem, tbf I can just move the pages myself and deal with the redirects, I mean I'm the one who sees a problem with this so I should do it. I'll probably put all the redirects under the deletion category though, I want them gone T-T.

<blockquote>perhaps the basic character cell template is better?</blockquote>

Yeah, it would make more sense there now. For Exedra characters I'm not really sure though, since the Exedra character cells are meant for Characters, not Kioku.

<blockquote>By the way, where to the witch, uwasa, and kimochi lists belong? Do they go on [[Magia Record Characters]], on [[Magia Record Units]], or on a new page?</blockquote>

Definitely keep them on [[Magia Record Characters]]. Unless you mean when treating them like Enemies... I think pages like ''Magia Record Enemies'' and ''Magia Exedra Enemies'' could make sense, but I think they would only if we had something similar to the unit pages but for enemies. Idk what info would go there though? Obviously the descriptions and sprites, but there's not that much left, so that's why even though I've been thinking about this, I've never suggested it.

Well, to be quite honest, if you dislike that breadcrumb link ''that'' much, then there's a very, ''very'' simple solution – just don't make them subpages in the first place. But I really don't think it's that much of a problem.

I went ahead and did some edits on [[Magia Record Characters]], so it's now solely characters and not units; the original unit list, unaltered, is now on [[Magia Record Units]].

I do agree that it would be nice to have [[Magia Record Enemies]] and/or [[Magia Exedra Enemies]] if we have enough information to gather about them (we should have it for Exedra, not sure about Record). If we don't have enough to make dedicated pages for each unit, I think it could be sufficient to just gather all that info onto the list page? That said, the enemies are mostly witches or familiars, so those do have a page.

Yeah I know the breadcrumb links are my fault T-T, for now I'll just leave the pages be, but I still plan on changing them into a namespace.

For Magia Record Characters, I think the variants that we consider "major" should stay, as in Holy Mami, Infinite Iroha, Uwasa Tsuruno and so on.

The cells for the units and Kioku should definitely be changed (well maybe not ''changed'' as they should just be new templates imo), they need:
* Proper linking, so in the template you just write the name, and it links to the page with the prefix.
* Rarities
* Elements
* Roles (Kioku only)
* Characters (Kioku only, though this isnt that important really)

Yeah as much as I'd like to have separate pages for enemy info, there's really little info. I mean what would Corbeau have apart from her sprite T-T. If I remember correctly the Fandom Magireco wiki had enemy pages that also had items attached to some of them (I have to say remember cause I cant check, fandom is down for some reason), so I guess that's extra information, but again, it's not a lot.

Um… I hate to break this to you, but… adding a new namespace isn't something you can do – it can only be done by editing the wiki settings directly, which means direct access to the server is needed. You could ask [User:0x99]] to add one, but having separate namespaces for each game seems kind of silly? Unless your plan is to "fake" a namespace by just adding a common prefix to each page name.

I'm of two minds on the variants in [[Magia Record Characters]]. They aren't really separate characters, so I think it's better to remove them. (Possibly, even Ultimate Madoka and Devil Homura.) But they certainly are more "major" than all the simple alt units, so I could probably accept putting them back.

Feel free to add new parameters to [[Template:Magia Record Character Cell]] and use them however you think is appropriate. I think perhaps we should add a description= parameter to [[Template:Simple Character Cell]] as well, to add a bit more info for the side characters.

Side note: if Fandom is becoming unstable, perhaps we should get someone to archive the Magia Record fandom (it can be done from [https://magireco.fandom.com/wiki/Special:Export here] but I can't seem to work out how to make it gather every page on the entire wiki). It's working for me right now (though I can't sign in for some reason), but we definitely don't want to lose all that information just because Fandom goes crazy or whatever. Without signing in I can't tell if people have still been editing it though.

Okay yeah if the namespaces take this much effort then I'll just leave them be T-T. Honestly I'm used to the breadcrumb link right now, and I don't mind it as much as I did before, so for now I don't plan on changing it.

As for the Enemy pages, I have a lot of thoughts. I still want them to be separate pages that would be transcluded on the pages of the characters like the Unit pages we have right now. I've recently changed how we list enemies on the Main Quest pages, and added enemies to event pages, all those boxes could easily link to the enemy pages, and even be good for collecting an "appearances" list, it works right now with using a dpl to check which pages use the icons, but if they just linked to the pages it would be easier. For Magical girl enemies, yeah we shouldn't have pages for them, the boxes could just link to the unit pages, as I know Record has a lot of units that act as enemies (at most Rebellion Mami from Exedra might be a problem, cause she doesn't have a unit). I still don't know how the template should look, as I tried a lot of looks and I haven't liked them very much T-T. I think someone else should make the template...

I think technically the magical girls as enemies are actually unique enemies that just happen to look like the magical girl (that is, they're not reusing the data from the playable character).

Making the Magireco enemy pages is way harder than Exedra ones I fear ._. A lot of enemies just don't have the same sprites, from what I know there are 3 types of sprites we could use:
# The Archive ones, the ones that are named <code>Enemy #### l.png</code>, these are the fewest but are also the best ones, as they always have the full enemy in and when it has multiple versions it has all of them in one sprite, but a lot of enemies just don't have them.
# The ones that are named <code>Chara #### ## b.png</code>, these are way more common, and even special variants like the New Year's Commoner's Horse have them, but they sometimes cut out parts of the full enemy.
# Put-together textures, as in a texture file put together by code and made into an image, but obviously, we don't have them. I don't know how to even make them, but I guess it would be something similar to Live2Ds, and we have a lot of those here. This would be the best, as EACH enemy gets a full sprite, but... We're probably not gonna have them...
Right now I guess it would be best to use the Archive images for the enemies that have them, and the Chara ones for the ones that don't. Also- do we separate the special variants the same way Exedra does? (like Christmas Oscars and FM Kamihama) Exedra separates them, but I think Record doesn't, and I know they share ID's with their normal forms, so that's an issue too.

(Adding stuff I forgot...)

There are also enemies that just don't have either, like the Tart Magica Soldiers, or the Puella Historia enemies. I know the Magireco wiki has sprites for some of them, but idk if that's done with the third sprite type I described or it's actually somewhere in the files.

Okay, I'm a little unsure what you're getting at here. Can you give some specific examples of the issues?
*An "Enemy" one that has multiple versions in one sprite
*A "Chara" one that's cropped
*The texture sources of an enemy that could be put together. (External link, if possible. No point in uploading it to the wiki only to delete it again.)
*Enemies that "just don't have either"
Did sprites in Magia Record use Live2d? If so, then we should definitely not upload any of the source textures, and should instead upload a render of the Live2d model – just like we do with conversation models. I think someone linked to a site that has these sprites awhile ago, but I don't remember who or where. It would probably be fine to use the other types as a stand-in where available, though.

Next, about special variants and IDs. First of all, I don't really care if the special variants have the same ID as their normal forms. The ID is an internal detail that doesn't matter in the slightest, so let's ignore that. (If you want to put that internal detail in the article, fine, but don't make strange decisions based on it.) I don't know what you mean by claiming that Magia Record does not separate them, but if they're logically a different enemy, then I'd say they should have a different page. Just because it's a reskin doesn't mean it's the same enemy – Matasaburo is a reskin of Candy but is clearly treated as a separate thing.

Okay for examples:
<blockquote>An "Enemy" one that has multiple versions in one sprite</blockquote>

By this I meant how some enemies have multiple looks in one sprite like:
<gallery>
File:Enemy 7101 l.png
File:Enemy 7202 l.png
</gallery>
I don't think this is an issue though.

<blockquote>A "Chara" one that's cropped</blockquote>
Easily the sprites of the Kimochi are very visibly cropped, because they dont have the "Enemy" sprites, just the "Chara" ones
<gallery>
File:Chara 6012 00 b.png
File:Chara 6003 01 b.png|Only the tail but still
</gallery>

<blockquote>The texture sources of an enemy that could be put together.</blockquote>

Here is [https://pi.rika.ren/magica/resource/image_native/mini/anime_v2/mini_700500_l0.png The Uwasa of the Anonymous Mail], obviously we have a sprite for this so we don't need to do anything with this. But this [https://pi.rika.ren/magica/resource/image_native/mini/anime_v2/mini_710112_l0.png Christmas Oscar] is one we don't have a sprite of, and I wish we had (though probably not for the enemy page itself just for the gallery). For an example of an enemy that doesn't have the first two types od sprites, is [https://magireco.fandom.com/wiki/Magical_Girl_(Executive) Magical Girl (Executive)], this is a link to her page on the record wiki where she doesn't have a sprite, and [https://pi.rika.ren/magica/resource/image_native/mini/anime_v2/mini_770700_l0.png this] is her texture. I dont think they're considered Live2D, I just compared them cause I think it works similarly (I dont know how it works so-)

<blockquote>I dont think they're considered Live2D</blockquote>It would be very strange for them to use a 2D skeletal animation system for the conversation sprites and a ''different'' 2D skeletal animation system for the battle sprites (though it's totally possible I guess). Live2D can totally animate small sprites like the ones used in Magia Record – I hadn't heard that they used it for that, but it sounds like they probably did.

The magical girl executive you linked appears to be a conversation sprite, not a battle sprite? Though maybe the texture you linked to ''is'' a battle sprite.

Anyway, if Magia Record was using Live2D (or similar) for their sprites as well, then what we should really have on the wiki is a render of the Live2D model. When "Enemy" or "Chara" sprites exist that work, we can use them instead (at least temporarily), but in general, I think we should prefer the proper render. And by the way – I don't think the ones with multiple sprites in one are good to use. They can be fine on a temporary basis, but again, I think we should prefer a direct render of the Live2D model.

I found [https://kyu.gay/ this], which has the executive, but doesn't have any of the enemies. (Note: the certificate is expired, so you'd need to override the security warning to view it.) I think it could be possible to download that and view enemy sprites locally as long as you have the assets.

I agree that we should use the renders, I look at the "Enemy" sprites the same way I do at [[:File:Shadow Witch Enemy Portrait.png|the Chamber of Light enemy images from Exedra]], where it's just a good sprite to ''represent'' the enemy, but it's not perfect. If we do get the rendered sprites, should we have all of them on the enemy pages? (like all the Oscars on their enemy page) Because if we do, then we definitely use tabbers, and that has another problem- the tab names, though... I feel like it should be okay if we use a the same character for every tab (maybe something invisible like <code>⠀</code>) and make each tab a different color with css like we did with the Kioku and Unit tabs.

Also two more questions, should the descriptions go into the enemy pages? They ''would'' fit there, as descriptions are directly tied to enemies, but at the same time the Witch and Uwasa pages already have them in their boxes, and a lot of enemies wouldn't have those descriptions. The second question is- should [[Template:Magia Exedra Enemy Small]] be also used for the Record enemies, as in rename the template and add a 'game' parameter to link correctly. I think it would be better than making another template that would mostly look the same, but I don't know what types of enemies are in Record. I know there are enemies that are said to be Bosses, but that's it.

About the renders again, I know I won't be able to make them, as I know nothing about this kind of stuff T_T

I might be missing something, but I don't understand why you want tabs here. Do each of the variations of the enemy have different stats or description or something like that? If we're only showing off the sprites themselves, a gallery would make more sense.

By descriptions, do you mean the witch descriptions? I guess those go on the witch pages.

Reusing the template exactly seems like an odd choice to me. We could do it, but it's not like we have a guarantee that all future games would forever fit the same format (though we can just not use it in the future if that happens).

~ [[User:Celtic Minstrel|Celtic Minstrel]] ([[User talk:Celtic Minstrel|talk]]) 14:49, 24 May 2026 (UTC)

----

I want tabs only for the sprites if the enemy has multiple of them, it's useful in cases like the Bartels in Exedra where they have 3 main appearances, so putting only one would make it look odd.

For the descriptions I meant all enemy descriptions so for Uwasa and Familiars too.

About the template its okay to just have them be separate, it won't change that much (Though I still want to rename the template idk what I was thinking with Enemy Small).

- [[User:TheresaFrog421|TheresaFrog421]] ([[User talk:TheresaFrog421|talk]]) 14:58, 24 May 2026 (UTC)

Okay so- I found a possible way to render these sprites, and some work! But... not all of them
<gallery>
File:Record Enemy 720804.png|Echo
File:Record Enemy 720700.png|Echo
File:Record Enemy 710900.png|Coco
</gallery>
The Echos look perfect but the Coco... yeah it's been through stuff. I think I know why, it's because the texture of the echos don't have any alternative sprites for when they attack or something, but Coco does, so they all render at the same time. Also the brain of the Coco renders weirdly low, idk i'll try to get this fixed but right now I'm flopping. (Also dont delete these files I or someone else will just upload new versions of them when the sprites are fixed)

- [[User:TheresaFrog421|TheresaFrog421]] ([[User talk:TheresaFrog421|talk]]) 19:59, 24 May 2026 (UTC)

My first guess would be that the method you're using is missing a step that selects the pose to use, so it's coming out as the equivalent of a T-pose (meaning the Echo sprites could also be a bit off). But, without more information about what you did, I can't be certain. I might be able to offer some other suggestions if you explain what you did, though.

Also, as a side note, for some of these sprites I've been wondering if it would make sense to render them in multiple poses – especially the ones where there are dramatic transformations during attacking, such as Candy's head turning into a mouth full of teeth.

I won't go into that much detail, but the script I use takes text from the .plist file of the enemy and using it assembles the sprite. The plist details which parts of the texture go where, it has 8 parameters: width, height, originalWidth, originalHeight, x, y, offsetX and offsetY. The script takes the x y, goes to those coordinates of the texture, cuts it out with the width and height and then positions it with the offset parameters. I believe the problem for the placement is the fact that I ignored originalWidth and originalHeight, but that's just because I have NO idea what those are, they sometimes seem random and sometimes are the exact same in every part. About the too many parts showing up problem, parts are usually labeled by numbers, but some also have letters (so like 'parts00' and 'parts01a' 'parts01b') I'm pretty sure that I should be able to easily find which ones are the idle/normal ones, but I'm not sure (I've already tried the a ones and it didnt work)

- [[User:TheresaFrog421|TheresaFrog421]] ([[User talk:TheresaFrog421|talk]]) 21:39, 24 May 2026 (UTC)

I have 2 theories, either the plist is just not enough to make a sprite in some cases, as sprites like the christmas Oscar ive sent a link to before have all of their parts in the same place, or the originalWidth and Height affect position/scale of each part. I can't tell if im stupid or its complicated, but I know that the first Echo i sent a render of, each part has the exact same originalWidth and originalHeight, while cases where the parts look wrongly arranged usually each part has a different originalWidth and height. Please give me all ideas you can think of how to affect the scale/position of the parts using the original parameters cause I'm losing it over here.

- [[User:TheresaFrog421|TheresaFrog421]] ([[User talk:TheresaFrog421|talk]]) 10:11, 25 May 2026 (UTC)

I think I'm giving up T-T. Nothing I tried even came close to working, If you want to I could share the files (I did it all on Godot, a free game engine), but I fear I literally don't know how to continue. I think that my theory about the plist not being enough was right, and that maybe the ExportJson file would be, but its too big and my laptop takes too long to load it in.

- [[User:TheresaFrog421|TheresaFrog421]] ([[User talk:TheresaFrog421|talk]]) 15:13, 25 May 2026 (UTC)

Hmm. Since you mentioned a plist file, I found documentation of the [https://www.codeandweb.com/texturepacker/knowledgebase/cocos2d-plist-file-format Cocos2D spritesheet format] hoping it would help, but what you described doesn't appear to conform to that format, so I'm not sure where to go from here... are the files on rika-ren? If you could point to them, perhaps I could take a quick look.

~ [[User:Celtic Minstrel|Celtic Minstrel]] ([[User talk:Celtic Minstrel|talk]]) 18:49, 25 May 2026 (UTC)

Also, side note – you mentioned using Godot because it was free, but it can't hurt to try downloading Cocos Creator and see if it can just open them. No idea if it would work, but someone said somewhere that Magia Record was made in Cocos2d, so it ''might'' work. And AFAICT Cocos2d is also free.

~ [[User:Celtic Minstrel|Celtic Minstrel]] ([[User talk:Celtic Minstrel|talk]]) 18:54, 25 May 2026 (UTC)

----

The textures and .plist files are [https://pi.rika.ren/magica/resource/image_native/mini/anime_v2/ here on rika-ren], there's a lot more than just those two, like the ExpandJson I mentioned, but I thought the plist would be enough. I'll experiment with the Cocos2d app, but I also used godot because I knew how to code in there, while I won't know how to code here, so I make no promises (you should try too).

- [[User:TheresaFrog421|TheresaFrog421]] ([[User talk:TheresaFrog421|talk]]) 18:59, 25 May 2026 (UTC)

Hmmm okay, I'm not sure. A couple observations though…

* I notice that the ExportJson and the .vfxj lack a 0 in the filename that the plist (and the png) has. No idea what that means.
* The plist ''does'' look like the general structure is the same as the Cocos2D sprite format, but the content of each frame is completely different. Maybe it's an older version of the format? I dunno.

<blockquote>''"I want you to make contracts with me and become Magical Girls!"'' - Kyubey, [[Madoka Magica Episode 1: I First Met Her in a Dream… or Something|Madoka Magica Episode 1]].</blockquote>

{{Nihongo|'''Kyubey'''|キュゥべえ|Kyūbē}} is a {{nihongo|"messenger of magic"|魔法の使者|mahō no shisha}} who grants the wishes of young girls, but in exchange contracts their services as [[Magical Girl]]s. Girls who form a contract with him are tasked to defeat [[Witch]]es – bizarre entities that feed upon the hopes and dreams of normal people. Kyubey features prominently as a character within the entire [[Puella Magi Series]].

Kyubey is an "Incubator", a member of an alien race dedicated to counteracting the effects of (and possibly negating) entropy: the principle that energy output is always less than energy input, a fact that is presently causing the universe to slowly die out. In order to achieve this, Kyubey collects raw energy from a source that seems to be excepted from entropy: the emotions of girls in their second growth stage (14-18). To harvest this energy, Kyubey forms contracts with teenage girls, trading one wish for their servitude as a Magical Girls. The energy produced during this process is then harvested by Kyubey through unknown means. Kyubey does not reveal, however, that Magical Girls turn into Witches after falling into despair, which are then fought by other Magical Girls, creating an endless cycle. Because of this, Kyubey is often seen as the true antagonist of the series, despite the fact that his justification is that he is saving countless other sectors of the universe in doing so.

According to [[Gen Urobuchi]], Kyubey may have distinct bodies but has a shared, collective consciousness.<ref>[[NewType 2011-05#Kyubey as an Alien Entity|NewType 2011-05 - "Kyubey as an Alien Entity"]]</ref>

==Appearance==
Kyubey is a small cat-like creature about two feet long (including tail). His entire body is covered in often clean, white fur. He has what appear to be four ears; two that resemble an average cat, pointed and up, while the other two appear as long tassel-like appendages that split into three sections at their tip. The tassels fade from white to pink and have three red dots horizontally before the splits. They also bear a pair of floating golden rings.

Kyubey's face is his most well known feature – two beady pink and eyes with dark maroon irises and a tiny, omega-shaped "cat mouth". Due to Kyubey's method of telepathic communication, his face remains almost completely unmoving except for blinking and consuming food.

On his back is an egg-shaped red oval that can open up, like a trapdoor, to act as a receptacle for Grief Seed fragments.<ref name='madomagi6'>Shown in [[Madoka Magica Episode 6: This Just Can't Be Right]]</ref>

[[File:Kill qb gif.gif|thumb|left|200px]]
Kyubey has not been evidenced to bleed, however, when injured, he has red matter underneath his fur.<ref name='madomagi8'>Shown in [[Madoka Magica Episode 8: I Was Stupid… So Stupid]]</ref> When he is shot by Homura several times, Kyubey's body does not seem to contain organs, only solid red.<ref name='madomagi8'/> Whether this is artistic censorship or an actual attribute of Kyubey's anatomy is yet unknown.

In the anime, Kyubey's body often makes noises like a plush toy when squeezed or pressed against, suggesting that he is soft and cuddly, at least physically.

In ''Oriko Magica'', Kyubey takes on even more of a "plush toy" appearance than before, his sharp tipped tassel ears are soft and curved, lacking the pink gradient and red spots. His magical hoops have moved further up his ears and his front legs appear to have shortened.

==Personality and Traits==
<blockquote>
"''The deal was you'd be granted one wish, no matter how impossible, and you'd become a Magical Girl and assume the responsibilities of the job. That's a fair trade, considering all the powers you got.''"

"''Yeah, but you didnt say anything about us turning into Witches!''"

"''Well, you didn't ask.''"

- Kyubey and Madoka, [[Magia Record Episode 14: I Had a Feeling We Could All Become Magical Girls Together|Magia Record Episode 14]].
</blockquote>
As an Incubator, he cannot exhibit emotions of any kind. As a result, Kyubey often appears cold, calculating and scheming, traits that make him appear villainous in the series. Kyubey, however, only seeks to achieve a goal – to preserve the universe from entropy. To meet this goal, he takes all means logically efficient and reasonable, namely creating Magical Girls. Initially, Kyubey appears enthusiastic to help the Magical Girls in their quest, offering advice where applicable, however, as more of his true motive is revealed, either by him or others, Kyubey becomes progressively more passive and observatory in manner (although this could be because he has no advice left to offer).

Kyubey uses certain speech patterns that indicate he may see himself as superior to the Magical Girls; the lack of honorifics, the use of the [[Appellations|pronouns]] "Boku" (僕) and "Kimi" (君) and the misuse or overall lack of polite verbs suggests that he is either rude or very casual towards the girls. However, due to his emotionless nature, and the fact that he is an alien, Kyubey may simply not understand the need to be polite, as opposed to being direct.

Throughout the series, Kyubey is often accused of trickery and deceit by turning girls into Magical Girls, and subsequently witches, treating humans as energy livestock under the guise of being a miracle granter. Although this can easily be understood, Kyubey states that he never intended to "trick" Magical Girls, but simply leaves out traumatizing subtext in order to make the process more appealing to a potential Magical Girls.

==Powers and Abilities==
Kyubey has a wide variety of magical abilities which he uses in his mission to counteract entropy. They are listed below
* '''Telepathic Communication''': Kyubey communicates with potential and contracted Magical Girls through telepathy, as opposed to verbally.<ref name='madomagi1'>Shown in [[Madoka Magica Episode 1: I First Met Her in a Dream… or Something]]</ref> He is able to use himself as a medium through which non-contracted girls can communicate to each other or contracted Magical Girls.<ref name='madomagi2'>Shown in [[Madoka Magica Episode 2: That Would Be Truly Wonderful]]</ref>
* '''Vision Sharing''': Kyubey can share visions of sights and sounds with potential and contracted Magical Girls.<ref name='madomagi11'>Shown in [[Madoka Magica Episode 11: The Only Thing I Have Left to Guide Me]]</ref><ref name='rebellion'>Shown in [[Puella Magi Madoka Magica the Movie -Rebellion-]]</ref>
* '''Elective Invisibility''': Kyubey is invisible to everyone except for Magical Girls and girls with sufficient magical potential. Normal humans do not notice his presence at all, just as he does not seem able to communicate with them.<ref name='madomagi2'/>
* '''Teleportation''': Kyubey has been evidenced to cross long distances in impossibly short time spans, the method for which is yet unknown, but can be assumed to be teleportation. In episode 10, he also fades into reality above Homura, which may be the visible manifestation of him teleporting.
* '''Wish Granting''': Kyubey can grant wishes to those with magical [[potential]], no matter how wild and unrealistic they may be. However, this process is limited by the karmic potential of a contractee, and insufficient karmic power may result in negative or unintended side-effects, such as lack of power control or a wish that cannot be properly or completely executed. Kyubey himself has no control over ''how'' a wish is interpreted, and seems to be unable to refuse or revoke a wish once a proper one has been made. However, there have been shown to be some exceptions to what he can grant, unlimited by a girl's karmic potential, such as if a wish is for something that he does not understand (for example, wishing to visit a fictional location he isn't familiar with).
* '''Soul Gem Creation''': Kyubey is capable of creating a small egg-shaped gemstone called a [[Soul Gem]] for each Magical Girl. He does this by pulling the contractee's soul out of their body and forming it into their soul gem. As such, this results in temporary pain on the contractee while the contract is made. This makes the newly formed Magical Girl capable of transforming and using magic, as well as increased agility, strength and pain threshold, at the expense of the soul being separate from the body and thus controlling it externally, akin to a puppet.
* '''Soul Gem Stimulation''': Kyubey can create impulses of certain feelings, such as pain, on a Soul Gem simply by touching it.<ref name='madomagi7'>Shown in [[Madoka Magica Episode 7: Can You Face Your True Feelings?]]</ref>
* '''Energy Conversion/Collection''': Kyubey is able to collect emotional energy from Witch transformations, and Doppel emergences. As explained in Magia Record, Kyubey does not need to be in proximity to a Witch formation or the summoning of a Doppel to obtain its energy, as he collects it even while he cannot enter Kamihama City. This implies that the collection of this emotional energy is an inherent part of either process that he merely facilitates, or that this energy is naturally released into the universe when it is created. In Wraith timelines, he collects it by Magical Girls dropping grief cubes into a hatch-like "mouth" on his red oval on his back.<ref name='madomagi12'>Shown in [[Madoka Magica Episode 12: My Very Best Friend]]</ref> How he is able to transport this energy also remains a mystery.
* '''Grief Seed Consumption''': Said to be one of Kyubey's "many duties", he can open a hole in the teardrop-like marking on his back to consume grief seeds. This permanently destroys the Grief Seed, preventing the Witch within it from regenerating when it accumulates enough taint from a soul gem it purifies.<ref name='madomagi6'/> It is unclear if he only does this to prevent Witches from reappearing, and thus keeping their population manageable, or if it is part of his process of collecting emotional energy, given he already collects it when Soul Gems become grief seeds.
* '''Replication''': Kyubeys, or Incubators, are an artificially-created hive-mind/collective that span the universe, looking for people to turn into Magical Girls so as to collect emotional energy and combat entropy. Multiple individuals of his kind, referred to as "terminals", exist simultaneously, and can act, think, and talk independently of each other, but they all retain the same knowledge and memories. Typically, only one Kyubey terminal is primarily active in a given territory at any time, though several are either kept in reserve nearby or are somehow instantly deployed to replace one another if they are killed by some means. So as to save energy, they will consume the remains of their fallen selves when possible.<ref name='madomagi8'/>
* '''Isolation Field''': Kyubey's able to create an isolation field similar to a barrier, but only chooses to do so in extreme circumstances, usually to uphold, or sometimes restore the Magical Girl system. The isolation field can work as a method to trap others, such as when he reclaimed the Doppel System, and to isolate them from outside presences. This was also done with [[Homura]]'s soul gem, which resulted in it not turning into a grief seed, breaking, or being taken by the [[Law of Cycles]], instead creating a labyrinth within the gem. He was even able to make adjustments to let the victims which Homura invited to be absorbed in the world inside her soul gem, while not letting them leave.<ref name='rebellion'/>
* '''Cell Alteration''': Kyubey can alter the bodies, including the brains, of beings who have incubator cells within them and make it possible for them to do things they otherwise couldn't.{{Citation needed}}

[[File:Kyubey wraith arc.png|thumb|200px|Kyubey in Wraith Arc]]
;Chapter 1
Kyubey watches Kyoko and Sayaka quarrel, he talks with Mami about the giant wraith that looms over the city. He worries about their lack of teamwork.

;Chapter 2
Kyubey tells Sayaka of a wraith that is currently hunting down Hitomi. Later he appears again after Kyoko and Sayaka's second fight to warn them that Mami is in danger as it seems the giant wraith has taken advantage of their absence in order to target Mami.

;Chapter 3
Kyubey tells Homura to pace herself better in her relentless battle against the wraiths. They discuss the law of cycles and Kyubey's doubts on the veracity of Homura's tale of the previous universe.

;Chapter 4
Kyubey continues their discussion on the nature of Homura's new magical ability of memory manipulation, stating her time-manipulation magic would be very useful and voicing a curiosity at seeing this time of ability. Later, he is seen riding on Homura's shoulders as they search the city for the whereabouts of the giant wraith.

;Chapter 6
Kyubey examines the mutant wraith posing as Madoka, noting Homura's magic and a large amount of curses emanating from within the wraith. Later, Homura talks with Kyubey and asks him what she wished for in this world in order to become a Magical Girl, but Kyubey doesn't know the answer.

;Chapter 7
Kyubey is seen in flashback granting Homura's original wish to go back in time in order to protect Madoka. At Homura's apartment, Kyubey comes to see what has become of Homura now that she has let all her emotions be consumed by a wraith in order to avoid meeting the Law of Cycles.

;Chapter 9
Kyubey appears in the final pages as Homura discusses the previous universe with him, despite him not believing what she is telling him. As Homura drops to the streets below to battle the wraiths, Kyubey takes out the piece of Homura's time shield he salvaged in the previous timeline, allowing him to keep his memories of all the events of Wraith Arc and giving him the proof he needed of the existence of Madoka.

===In [[Puella Magi Madoka Magica the Movie -Rebellion-|-Rebellion-]]===
Kyubey spends the majority of the movie playing as the cute mascot he appears to be, complete with only responding with the word "Kyu" whenever anyone interacts with him.

By the end of the film, as Homura is transforming into a witch, Kyubey drops his charade and reveals this world to be a witch's barrier that was created inside of Homura's soul gem as a way to lure the Law of Cycles in. This way the Incubators will be able to observe her and ultimately control her, bringing back the old witch system rather than relying on grief cubes to harvest their emotional energy. He is unable to convince Madoka to exhibit her ultimate powers and Homulilly is defeated. After Homura resets the universe, Kyubey and the other Incubators are forced to shoulder the burden of the world's curses.

===In [[Puella Magi Kazumi Magica: The innocent malice|Kazumi Magica]]===

[[File:Kyubey with airi.png|thumb|250px|Kyubey proposing a contract to [[Airi]]]]

;Chapter 2
Kyubey appears as a silhouette along with [[Madoka]] as [[Kaoru]] explains magic to [[Kazumi]].

;Chapter 4
Kyubey is seen at the very beginning of the chapter, sitting next to [[Juubey]] as they watch the [[Pleiades Saints]]. He cryptically asks if things will go better "this time".

;Chapter 5
He appears briefly when Yuuri becomes a Witch, similar to the end of Episode 8. He then further appears in the extended flashback of [[Yuuri]]'s and Airi's backstory. First he contracts with Yuuri, and then after Yuuri becomes a witch and is killed by the Pleiades he explains exactly what happened to Airi, culminating in her contracting with him. When she contracts, he tells her that "Your wish has surpassed entropy." Kyubey also tells Airi about the Pleaides Saints when she asks who killed Yuuri. During the entire chapter, Kyubey either appears as a shadow or in the shadows. It's quite clear that he is manipulating Airi, and that he is ultimately responsible for almost all of the subsequent events in the series beyond simply contracting Magical Girls to become witches.

;Chapter 14
Kyubey's face is seen as Satomi realizes the truth of where witches come from after watching Michiru become one. He is also seen watching from above (like [[Niko]] and Juubey, who can be seen a few panels before) while Satomi reveals the truth of the clones to Kazumi and forces them to fight one another.

;Chapter 20
Kyubey appears in person when Umika and Kaoru call for him, having recovered their memories of Incubators, which were suppressed by a spell cast by Umika.

;Chapter 21
Kyubey reveals that Incubators don't have individual consciousnesses. They are like a network terminal connected to one single consciousness.

Strangely, Kyubey ''"wanted"'' to talk to Juubey, it wanted to talk to another of his kind, even if it was man-made.

It's implied that in all of the flashbacks from previous chapters, any appearances by Juubey were actually of Kyubey. This suggests that Kyubey was manipulating Airi and Kanna in order to make them go after the Pleiades Saints.

===In [[Puella Magi Oriko Magica|Oriko Magica]]===
<blockquote>''"What a shame, huh?" --"Incubator...!!" "Well, I found her. I found Madoka Kaname."'' - Kyubey, Oriko and Homura. [[Oriko Magica Chapter 6: Someday Is Not Now|Oriko Magica Chapter 6]].</blockquote>
[[File:Kyubeyinoriko01.png|thumb|145px|Kyubey as he appears in Oriko Magica.]]

;Chapter 1
Kyubey contracts with [[Oriko]], who tells him of [[Yuma]], another Puella Magi candidate he should try contracting. He later tries to convince Yuma to contract with him, but is stopped by [[Kyoko]]. Kyoko then learns from him about the recent murders of Puella Magi. When he appears again, speaking with Oriko, he claims that human emotions are unfathomable to him. Oriko replies that he should learn to appreciate them, as they give him what he desires.

;Chapter 2
Kyubey successfully contracts with Yuma after Kyoko is attacked by a witch.

;Chapter 3
Kyubey tells [[Mami]] about the recent murders of Magical Girls. He says that the most recent victim told him the murderer was a "black Magical Girl," and not a Witch.

;Chapter 5
Kyubey discusses the identity of the black Magical Girl with Mami, and told her he never mentioned Kirika because he had no proof it was her. He discovers Oriko's plot to kill Madoka before she can contract and eventually become a Witch, and tries to stop her.

;Chapter 6
Kyubey sends Kyoko and Yuma to help Mami defeat the Witch that has put a barrier around Mitakihara Junior High, as well as stop Oriko, who has gone out of control. Despite both Homura and Oriko's attempts to hide Madoka from him, he finds her inside the barrier.

;Chapter 7
Oriko uses the last of her life to shoot a piece of Kirika's witch body through him and Madoka, who was hidden behind him, through a wall. She kills the girl before she can contract, foiling both Homura and Kyubey's plans.

Kyubey also appears in ''Noisy Citrine'', the prequel manga that focuses on [[Kirika Kure]].

Additionally, Kyubey exhibits a power he hasn't shown before Oriko Magica: levitation. He is rarely seen standing on anything in the manga, usually preferring to float in mid-air.

===In [[Puella Magi Suzune Magica|Suzune Magica]]===
<blockquote>''"...But apart from the use we've found for them, emotions are nothing but illogical, needless impulses that you ought to expunge from yourselves. "'' - Kyubey, Suzune Magica Ch. 8 </blockquote> [[File:Kyubey suzune magica.jpg|thumb|200px|Kyubey in Suzune Magica]]

* Kyubey first appears at the end of Chapter 2, telling the [[Hohzuki]] Magical Girls about [[Suzune]] assassinating Magical Girls.
* In Chapter 3, Kyubey is shown in a flashback forming a contract with [[Arisa]].
* In Chapter 5, Kyubey is shown in a flashback forming a contract with [[Haruka]].
* In Chapter 6, Kyubey appears at the end of the chapter to confirm Suzune's claims.
* In Chapter 7, Kyubey informs the girls that he is the one who proposed the Magical Girl system in the first place. He explains entropy and the reason he withheld information from the girls. After Suzune leaves, he shows the girls a vision of Suzune's past and her reason for assassinating Magical Girls as well as his role in forming a contract with Suzune.
*In Chapter 8, Kyubey's head is crushed by Arisa after explaining it was more efficient to let Suzune murder Magical Girls rather than stop her. At the end of the chapter, he has a short discussion with Suzune on how illogical and useless emotions are.
* In Chapter 9, Kyubey is seen at the end of the chapter urging [[Kagari]] to action.
* In Chapter 11, Kyubey is seen at the end of the chapter asking Kagari what her next action will be.
* In Chapter 12, Kyubey is shown in a flashback, forming a contract with [[Matsuri]] and offering the same to Kagari. He is walking around the city with the girls as they search for [[Tsubaki]].
* In Chapter 13, Kyubey is shown in flashback eating what appears to be a previous body of his as he explains to Kagari the manner in which Magical Girls turn into witches. Afterwards, Kagari makes a contract with Kyubey in order to exact revenge on Suzune. Kyubey is willing to go along with her plan so long as the energy that is lost from the murdered Magical Girls is less than the energy he'll collect from Kagari, Matsuri and Suzune.
* In Chapter 15, Kyubey appears to assist Matsuri in combat against Kagari. He explains Kagari's abilities to her and helps her by reminding her of her ability to track people.
* In Chapter 16, Kyubey appears to inform Suzune that even should she use her last grief seed to save Matsuri, Matsuri may turn into a witch from the sheer grief of losing Kagari and Suzune. At the end of the chapter, Kyubey is seen talking to Matsuri and lamenting the amount of energy he would have gathered from her.

===In [[Puella Magi Tart Magica|Tart Magica]]===
<blockquote>''"I must admit, you aren't the first to have called me an angel. Are there that many outward similarities between what you call "angels" and myself?"'' - Kyubey, Tart Magica, Ch. 2.</blockquote> [[File:Tartmagica cube.png|thumb|300px|Kyubey in Tart Magica]]

Kyubey appears in [[Tart Magica]], calling himself ''"Cube"'' (''キューブ Kyūbu'') and often times (an) Angel by [[Tart]].
* He first appears in Chapter 2 alongside [[Riz Hawkwood]] when she saved Tart and her sister [[Catherine]] from a witch.
** Because the rings that float around his tassels resemble angel halos, Tart believes him to be an angel and refers to him as such. Kyubey notes that Tart isn't the first to have called him one and wonders if there are that many similarities between himself and angels. He also states that he doesn't mind being called an angel by Tart.
** Kyubey and Riz reveal to Tart that they have been searching for her. Upon asking for her name, she introduces herself as Jeanette and Kyubey asks her to write it to see how it's spelled (where she spells her full name as "Jeanne Tart"). Kyubey likes the sound of Tart better than Jeanne (as it is a common name) and begins referring to her as Tart.
* Riz and Tart travel to meet the King, encountering [[Melissa]] in the process. Melissa can see Cube, but Tart says she doesn't want Melissa to contract.
* Tart and [[La Hire]] are gravely wounded by an attack from [[Flèche]], causing Melissa to make a wish to save their lives.
* It is revealed that Cube made a contract with [[Isabeau]] to have everything that you (Cube) possesses, like his immortality and ability to grant wishes.

===In [[Magia Record: Puella Magi Madoka Magica Side Story|Magia Record]]===
[[File:Kyubey over Radio.png|thumb|250px|Kyubey contacted over the radio]]

Kyubey initially appears as a [[small Kyubey]] that [[Iroha]] is tracking in [[Kamihama City]].

A [[Pink Kyubey]] also appears in the event [[Magia Record Event - Kamihama Cheese Panic!|Kamihama Cheese Panic!]] and other events which include Nagisa.

Kyubey himself initially only appeared in events or side stories, often in the past, and is presented as being unable to enter Kamihama City due to the doppel barrier. Beginning in Arc 2, Touka Satomi was able to make contact with Kyubey via a sophisticated machine that allowed her to view and speak with Kyubey on a screen.

The Tokime Clan refer to Kyubey as {{nihongo|Lord Kyūbē|久兵衛様|kyūbē-sama}}.

Due to [[Puella Historia]] covering many cultures and time periods, it's revealed that Kyubey was known by different names depending on the time and place.
* Around the 1st century BCE, in Alexandria, he is known as the White Beast God by the Met Clan.
** In Formal Egyptian (Demotic/Hieroglyphic), it would likely be written as 𓂧𓈖𓏏𓇾 𓆓𓏏𓈖 𓊹, with the transliteration "ḏd-wḥꜣt nṯr", literally "White Beast God."
** However, Alexander the Great founded Alexandria in 331 BCE and it quickly became a major center of Hellenistic culture. Thus, people in Alexandria also spoke Greek in the 1st century BCE, and it was the dominant language of administration, culture, and daily life for much of the city’s population at that time. Following that logic, the Greek version of the "White Beast God," with the Alexandrian Vernacular would be "ὁ Λευκὸς Θηριόμορφος Θεός" and the transliteration "Ho Leukòs Thēriómorphos Theós."
* Around the 1st century CE, in the Roman Empire, he is known as Magister, or Master Cubius, though as the letter U didn't exist, it would have been written as CVBIVS.
* Around the 11th century CE, Olga and Gunhild mistake him for a Fylgja, a guardian spirit from Norse mythology in the form of a white beast.
** The word literally means "follower" in Old Norse, and the plural noun for it is fylgjur. It can appear in the form of an animal that reflects a person’s character or destiny, like a wolf, fox, eagle, ox, or even human. They would appear in dreams and seeing your own fylgja while awake was usually considered a bad omen, often meaning death was near.
* Around the 13th century CE, a nunnery in Tibet refers to him as Lord Jātaka, a title for a past incarnation of the Buddha himself. Jātaka is Sanskrit for "Birth-Related" or "Birth Stories", and specifically denotes tales of the Buddha's past incarnations as a bodhisattva (a being striving for Buddhahood). In these stories, he embodies virtues related to the Buddha while reborn as humans, animals, or deities.
** The phrase "Lord Jātaka" would not have existed in 13th-century Tibet since "Jātaka" refers to a genre of Buddhist literature, not a person or deity. However, if we interpret "Lord Jātaka" as an honorific title for the Buddha as the central figure of the Jātaka tales, in Classical Tibetan using period-appropriate script and grammar: The honorific རྗེ་ (rje), meaning "lord" or "master," was used for revered figures, and Jākata's Tibetan translation is སྐྱེས་རབས་ (skyes rabs), thus the title would likely be རྗེ་སྐྱེས་རབས་ (rje skyes rabs), meaning "Lord of the Jātakas." However, for a similar title for the Buddha within Jātaka literature, the authentic phrasing would be སྐྱེས་རབས་ཀྱི་སྟོན་པ་ (skyes rabs kyi ston pa), "Teacher of the Birth Stories."
**As the story also features the Mongol Empire, in Mongolian, the birth stories were rendered as "Khe Rab" (ᠬᠡ ᠷᠠᠪ), directly from Tibetan skyes rabs due to the influence of Tibetan lamas in Mongol courts. The term "lord" (noyan, ᠨᠣᠶᠠᠨ; ejen, ᠡᠵᠡᠨ) was reserved for secular rulers (e.g., Genghis Khan as "Chinggis Ejen") or divine Buddhas (Burkhan, ᠪᠤᠷᠬᠠᠨ). Mongol Buddhist practice centered on the Buddha Śākyamuni, with devotion directed toward bodhisattvas and protector deities instead of literary genres like the Jātakas. If forced to construct a Mongol term for "Lord Jātaka," linguists might propose "Boyda Khe Rab" (ᠪᠣᠶᠳᠠ ᠬᠡ ᠷᠠᠪ; Holy Jātaka), where Boyda ("saintly") was used for figures like Genghis Khan. However, this would still imply "venerated Jātaka tales," not a personified lord. Alternatively, "Qutuγtu-yin Khe Rab" (ᠬᠤᠲᠤᠭᠲᠤ ᠶᠢᠨ ᠬᠡ ᠷᠠᠪ; Jātaka of the Holy One) could theoretically apply, as Qutuγtu ("holy one") denoted high lamas. The authentic title for the Buddha as protagonist of these tales was ᠬᠡ ᠷᠠᠪᠢᠨ ᠤ ᠪᠤᠷᠬᠠᠨ (Khe Rab-un Burqan), literally meaning "Buddha of the Jātakas," a phrase which appears in Yuan-era manuscripts.

===In [[Null Magical Girl]]===
[[File:Null_Vol2_Illustration3.png|thumb|200px|Kyubey in Null Magical Girl]]
In Null Magical Girl, Kyubey acts as a messenger and guide for [[Kosane]] during her journey to find the truth about Magical Girls. He reveals to Kosane that she has no soul and also lacks a brain. Throughout the story, Kyubey lives inside Kosane's empty head and is shown to have the ability to alter her cells, giving her the ability to fly and making her unable to perceive emotion.

As the two travel on the Time and Space Railway, they are attacked by five ''[[Homo magica]]''. Kosane blacks out and, when she awakens, finds herself and Kyubey in a plane full of ''Homo magica''. Kyubey doesn't sense any Incubators, and assumes that they had all gone extinct due to attacks from the ''Homo magica''.

He uses his future sight as the planet Terminus, where Kosane was hiding, is destroyed to find the best path for her to escape alive.

In the third volume, after the escape from Terminus, it is shown that Kyubey has fused with Kosane along with the Time Railroad, effectively making her a god. His last appearance is when Kosane starts making contracts with girls in order to gain emotional energy, when he says that it's finally his turn.

===In [[Puella Magi Madoka Magica Magia Exedra|Magia Exedra]]===
Since Magia Exedra reuses the story of prior media including the original anime, Kyubey appears in Exedra.

A version of Kyubey appears in the April Fools event, [[Dance✰Magica]] where he served as a talent manager for the Dancing Magical Girls troupe which comprise of the Holy Quintet.

==Gallery==
See [[Gallery:Kyubey]]

==Trivia==
* For more information about energy, entropy and thermodynamics in general, see [[Thermodynamics]].
** In ''Null Magical Girl'', Kosane, who has Incubator cells in her body, is a thermodynamics major.
* Kyubey apparently enjoys hot baths and human food, as evidenced in the second episode of the anime.
* Kyubey's appearance (and name) share an affinity to [[wikipedia:Nine-tailed_fox|Kyuubi]], Mythical Japanese foxes with nine tails. In folklore, Kyuubi-no-kitsune were known to possess men and have them do the Kyuubi's bidding, a trait identical to Kyubey's desire to collect energy from Magical Girls.
**Kitsune are said to be in possession of jewels called "hōshi no tama" which share similar traits to Soul Gems; they are jewels needed for the user to transform and use their magic and if they are separated from it for too long, the user will die.
*In the [[Drama CD 2|Drama CD ''"Sunny Day Life"'']] Kyubey tries to convince to an exasperated Madoka that ''"he"'' doesn't see himself as male (in human terms) so ''"he"'' doesn't understand why ''"he"'' isn't allowed to be in the bathroom with a naked Madoka.
**On the Blu-ray commentary it was pointed by [[Gen Urobuchi]] that Kyubey has no gender.
*According to the Blu-Ray Episode 2 voice commentary:
** Kyubey was not based on any animal, just the concept of a "small mahou shoujo animal"
** When asked what animals were used as the basis for Kyubey's design, Ume Aoki was very cryptic because of spoilers.
* The word 'incubator' derives from the Latin word 'incubare', meaning 'to lie upon'. Another term derived from it is incubus, a male demon said to have sex with women while they sleep and causing their dreams to become perverted. This happening was believed to be the cause of the birth of witches.
* In an interview with [[NewType 2011-07|NewType]], Shinbo was thinking of giving lip-syncing to Kyubey in the new world but Yukihiro Miyamoto said no since fundamentally Kyubey remains the same creature as before, only interested in energy efficiency, so he remains unchanged. Also in the interview it's stated Kyubey doesn't move his mouth to speak because he is communicating by telepathy.
** Prior to broadcasting, no one told the seiyuu (specially Emiri Kato) that Kyubey's mouth doesn't move, so she tried to properly lip-sync her lines. When they saw the first episode on the air, the seiyuu were shocked that they were tricked.
* Aoi Yuuki (Madoka's VA), Chiwa Saito (Homura's VA), and Kaori Mizuhashi (Mami's VA) tried for the role of Kyubey. Saito was told her Kyubey sounded too stupid, and in Yuuki's part hers sounded too naive and that she was too cute for it. They all found the role for Kyubey to be too difficult and the Kyubey character too smart for them.
* In the Audio Commentary for [[Episode 9]], before reading the script or knowing the nature of the show, Emiri Kato (VA of Kyubey) was very happy that she was voicing a cute animal character.
* Gen Urobuchi comments in the Audio Commentary for [[Episode 12]] that Kyubey's presence is world wide. This can be interpreted as multiple Kyubeys are being used to contract and reduce entropy; and are not limited to just using one single Incubator at a time. This would explain as to why Kyubey can consume dead predecessors. It may also suggest that instead of Kyubey being able to teleport, there are simply several, each one assigned to go with a Magical Girl or clusters thereof, at a time.
* During the [[Sakura-Con 2012 Interview|Sakura-Con 2012 panel interview]], Urobuchi explains that Kyubey is not evil, it is his lack of human feelings that makes him scary.
** Urobuchi compares [[wikipedia:Hp_lovecraft|H.P. Lovecraft]]'s [[wikipedia:Cthulhu_Mythos_deities|creatures]] to be same as Kyubey, in that they are uninterested in humans feelings.

<blockquote>''"Mokyu!"'' - Lil' Kyubey</blockquote>

{{nihongo|'''Lil' Kyubey'''|小さなキュゥべえ|Chiisana Kyūbē}}, also called '''Small Kyubey''', is a character from [[Puella Magi Madoka Magica Side Story: Magia Record]]. Storywise, it takes the place of the player and acts as the character's proxy.

Ui, [[Touka]], and [[Nemu]] all contracted in order to save [[Iroha]] from the fate of turning into a [[Witch]]. They each took [[Kyubey]]'s ability to absorb, convert and create energy. As soon as the contract was made, Kyubey's hoops fell off and he regressed into a tiny version of itself.<ref name='mainstory1ch10'>Shown in [[Magia Record Main Story Arc 1 - Chapter 10: Dawn of a Shallow Dream]]</ref> After Ui's power of collection goes out of control and she collects too many impurities, Nemu used an Uwasa to put her Soul into the Kyubey's empty body, creating the present-day Small Kyubey.<ref name='mainstory1ch10'/>

Lil' Kyubey initially appears when [[Iroha]] is tracking it in [[Kamihama City]].<ref name='mainstory1ch1'>Shown in [[Magia Record Main Story Arc 1 - Chapter 1: Iroha: The Beginning]]</ref> It isn't until after she is able to capture it that she suddenly recalls all memories of her missing sister [[Ui]].<ref name='mainstory1ch1'/> Thereafter, the name of the creature is whatever the player inputs as their player name and serves as a proxy for the player. It often stands in when Iroha is thinking or talking to herself and will present her with two or three different dialogue options presented as some variation of "Mokyu" with the actual dialogue in parenthesis underneath. The dialogue choice often has no bearing on the story outside of branching events. Lil' Kyubey itself doesn't speak outside of saying "Mokyu" or minor variations on that, unlike the regular version of Kyubey.

==Appearance==
Like the name suggests, Lil' Kyubey is mostly a small version of regular [[Kyubey]]. Its ears are bigger and its tail is thinner than regular Kyubey's. As shown in its backstory, its rings fell off after the trio's wish to "take away" Kyubey's powers<ref name='mainstory1ch1'/><ref name='anireco22'>Shown in [[Magia Record Episode 22: We Failed]]</ref>, making it regress into a tiny soulless form with grey eyes and no personality.<ref name='anireco22'/> After Ui's Soul is put into it, its eyes light up and it overall goes back to looking alive, with a kinder and cuter face than regular Kyubey's emotionless face.<ref name='anireco22'/>

[[File:Anireco 24 - blue translucent Kyubey.png|thumb|left|200px]]
In the Anime, after Iroha's meeting with Ui, Lil' Kyubey takes on a blue translucent appearance.<ref name='anireco24'>Shown in [[Magia Record Episode 24: How Long Do We Continue Being Magical Girls?]]</ref> In the DVD Blu-ray version of the Anime this design stays until the end.<ref name='anireco25'>Shown in [[Magia Record Episode 25: No One Knows Our Record]]</ref>

==Personality and Traits==
{{stub}}

==Powers and Abilities==
Unlike standard Incubators or their variants, Lil' Kyubey lacks the typical suite of Incubator abilities such as telepathic communication, wish granting, Grief Seed consumption, replication, or access to Kyubey's database informations.

Its powers are specifically limited to teleportation and its unique properties as a container/conduit, often tied to its role in containing Ui's soul and facilitating the events surrounding the Embryo Eve.

Teleportation is explicitly stated as Lil' Kyubey's only remaining power and the way it does so varies significantly. It has been seen fading in from shadows{{Citation needed}}, liquifying into the water of an Uwasa<ref name='anireco7'>Shown in [[Magia Record Episode 7: I Want to Go Home with You]]</ref>, and manifesting through a flash of energy.{{Citation needed}}

[[File:10-26.jpg|thumb|left|250px]]
Lil' Kyubey's unique, empty body possesses the intrinsic property of being a viable container for souls and abstract concepts.<ref name='mainstory1ch10'/> It housed Ui Tamaki's soul after Touka and Nemu transformed it and the container successfully prevented Ui's soul from dissipating, even when the transfer was completed by Nemu's Uwasa.<ref name='mainstory1ch10'/> However, this process had severe side effects as it erased all traces and memories of Ui for everyone except Ui herself.<ref name='mainstory1ch10'/> In the occasion where Nemu who performed the transplant, she was also able to remember as well<ref name='anireco22'/>, but in the case of the Uwasa-completed transfer, only Ui remembered her own existence.<ref name='mainstory1ch10'/> Direct contact with her sister allowed Lil' Kyubey to partially restore Iroha's memories of Ui.<ref name='mainstory1ch1'/><ref name='anireco1'>Shown in [[Magia Record Episode 1: Have You Heard? That Rumor About the Magical Girls]]</ref>

[[File:Episode 23 Mokyu Trap.png|thumb|250px]]
Additionally, Nemu demonstrated the ability to trap Iroha's entire body within Lil' Kyubey without causing erasure<ref name='anireco23'>Shown in [[Magia Record Episode 23: All the Girls Disappearing]]</ref>, though Ui later freed her, damaging Lil' Kyubey in the process and causing it to take on a ghostly form and begin disintegrating.<ref name='anireco24'/>

Lil' Kyubey can also function as a replacement core or conduit for the Doppel Barrier, as it was involved in its creation. Specifically, it was able to replace Ui as the core of Embryo Eve.<ref name='mainstory1ch10'/> Furthermore, it later acts as a conduit enabling Iroha Tamaki, Ui Tamaki, and the Kimochi Stones to access this system and ultimately fuse together, transforming into [[Infinite Iroha]].<ref name='mainstory2ch12'>Shown in [[Magia Record Main Story Arc 2 - Chapter 12: Tying The Eternal Coloring]]</ref>

==Trivia==
* Lil' Kyubey is the first character to have the "Variable" attribute effect in Magia Record. This causes the target to change Lil' Kyubey's attack to the advantage attribute. Lil' Kyubey's attribute remains the same when defending, however.
* It's the first genderless playable character in Magia Record.
* It's the first character without a set name on its card; instead, the card's name is the one the players gave themselves.
* Lil' Kyubey can only perform diagonal blasts and, until the later release of [[Lavi Himuro]], no other character could perform diagonal blasts. If a different character connects to or from Lil' Kyubey, the blast discs get converted.
** ⭨ Blasts become ↕ blasts and vice versa.
** ↙ Blasts become ↔ blasts and vice versa.
* Some of the frames from its transformation scene are a reference to [https://nanoha.fandom.com/wiki/Lyrical_Toy_Box Lyrical Toy Box] from ''Magical Girl Lyrical Nanoha''.

<blockquote>''"Playtime is over, you know."'' - Juubey, [[Kazumi Magica Chapter 4: Evil Nuts|Kazumi Magica Chapter 4]].</blockquote>

{{Nihongo|'''Juubey'''|ジュゥべえ|Jūbē}} is a character from ''[[Puella Magi Kazumi Magica: The Innocent Malice]]''. He is an incubator that works alongside the [[Pleiades Saints]].

==Appearance==
{{stub}}

==Personality and Traits==
[[File:JuubeyKitty.png|thumb|200px|left]]
Despite being an Incubator, an emotionless race, Juubey has displayed more emotion throughout the manga than his colleague [[Kyubey]] has in the entire anime. He has displayed annoyance/embarrassment when he was violently hugged by [[Satomi Usagi|Satomi]]<ref name='kazumagi4'>Shown in [[Kazumi Magica Chapter 4: Evil Nuts]]</ref>, disgust when he was fed an Evil Nut instead of a Grief Seed<ref name='kazumagi4'/> and fear when he sees Yuuri’s sigil form beneath the Pleiades.<ref name='kazumagi4'/> He also expresses distaste in being called “Bey-chan” by Satomi.<ref name='kazumagi4'/>

Notably, Juubey appears to understand the concept of deception: when asked, Juubey says he doesn’t know why Soul Gems turn into Grief Seeds and claims that it only happens sometimes.<ref name='kazumagi6'>Shown in [[Kazumi Magica Chapter 6: Bucket Parfait]]</ref> He appears to outright lie to [[Kazumi]] and the Pleiades about [[Niko]]’s preliminary actually being [[Kanna Hijiri]], the product of her wish<ref name='kazumagi9'>Shown in [[Kazumi Magica Chapter 9: Freezer]]</ref>, something Kyubey never does. He also appears to be sad when he tells Kazumi that returning a Grief Seed back into a Soul Gem is impossible.<ref name='kazumagi6'/> When describing the difference between Niko and Kazumi’s magic, he calls Kazumi’s magic “sacrilege” but quickly corrects himself saying “destruction” instead (Japanese version only).<ref name='kazumagi8'>Shown in [[Kazumi Magica Chapter 8: Fried Ice Cream]]</ref>

[[File:Jubey evil grin.png|thumb|200px]]
While around the Pleiades, Juubey behaves akin to that of a usual Magical Girl mascot and provides information when necessary, though in some circumstances he has been shown looking down on them with an evil grin<ref name='kazumagi4'/>, especially when he explains the details of the Freezer to Kazumi.<ref name='kazumagi10'>Shown in [[Kazumi Magica Chapter 10: Chi-Chin Purin]]</ref>

Another trait that separates Juubey from Kyubey is that while the latter stays completely neutral when Magical Girls turn on each other, Juubey openly speaks out and offers his assistance, such as when he worked with Kazumi and Niko on the best strategy to neutralize the [[Souju]]s and appears worried when they are clearly outmatched by them.<ref name='kazumagi8'/> Overall, his actions are contradictory to his function of being an incubator that harvests emotions.

==Powers and Abilities==
[[File:Jubey Cleanup.png|250px|thumb|Juubey using his purification ability.]]
Like Kyubey, Juubey also possesses some of the same abilities that all incubators have. Juubey mainly uses them to assist the Pleiades Saints.

*'''Grief seed consumption:''' As Kyubey consumes used grief seeds through the hatch on his back, Juubey does the same through the circle on his forehead.<ref name='kazumagi4'/> While Kyubey’s acts like a simple receptacle, Juubey’s is more akin to an actual mouth as it can be seen clenching just like one’s mouth does while eating and munching sounds can be heard.<ref name='kazumagi4'/>

*'''Soul gem purification:''' Unlike Kyubey, Juubey has the ability to clean and remove the grief from soul gems, allowing the girls relief from having to compete with others for grief seeds.<ref name='kazumagi4'/> Juubey is imperfect in this ability, as it is implied that cleaning the Gems would only be effective if he had consumed a Grief Seed beforehand.<ref name='kazumagi21'>Shown in [[Kazumi Magica Chapter 21: Juubey]]</ref> Instead, he was only able to polish the surface of the gem so it appeared to be clean while the grief accumulated inside.<ref name='kazumagi21'/>

*'''Telepathic communication, invisibility, and teleportation:''' It is assumed that Juubey had these abilities as well due to being an Incubator. It was thought that he could also grant wishes, create soul gems, and replicate, but Umika’s magic made him appear to have these abilities when it was actually Kyubey performing them.<ref name='kazumagi21'/>

==History==
===In [[Puella Magi Kazumi Magica: The innocent malice|Kazumi Magica]]===
Juubey first appears in chapter 4 after Kazumi and the Pleiades rescue Umika and Kaoru from a witch, watching their celebration from a rooftop seemingly alongside Kyubey. He jumps down and greets the girls, much to Kazumi’s surprise, and is introduced by Satomi as the fairy they all contracted with. Juubey then proceeds to absorb the grief inside the Pleiades' soul gems by spinning in the air until they are sparkling clean and then eats the grief seed they've collected from the witch. When he tries to dispose of [[evil nuts]] however, he spits them out in disgust and says they're not real grief seeds. Soon after, he and the Pleiades are attacked by [[Yuuri]].

Juubey returns to Umika's house with the Pleiades after Yuuri's attack, and is seen sleeping with Kazumi's cat Toto as the girls discuss Yuuri's message. He accompanies them to the Asunaro Dome to meet with Yuuri, and at [[Saki Asami|Saki]]'s command, attempts to purify Yuuri's soul gem during the Pleiades' fight with her. However, Yuuri shoots Juubey as he begins spinning and becomes a witch. He gets up shortly afterwards, still injured, and explains to Kazumi what happened to Yuuri, claiming that he doesn't know why magical girls turn into witches, but that it happens "sometimes". He goes on to explain to Kazumi that it isn't possible to revert the process and that Yuuri must be killed.

Some time after the events of that night, Juubey accompanies Niko and Kazumi on a "witch hunt" to the La Vie Land Amusement Park. He remains with them during Niko's fight with [[Souju|Ayase Souju]], and explains to Kazumi Niko's abilities and Ayase's transformation into Luca. When Kazumi asks him what happens if a magical girl's soul gem is lost, he answers that they lose their magic and some may die "depending on the situation". During the battle, he defines the Souju's "Picchi Gemellati" attack to Niko and identifies Kazumi's magic as "destruction". Finally, he helps Kazumi and Niko launch a synchronized counterattack against Ayase by biting their hands.

After Souju is defeated, Niko unexpectedly becomes a witch and is subsequently defeated by Mirai; however, another Niko appears, who Juubey identifies as Niko's "preliminary", created by her contract. Juubey is then seen accompanying the Pleiades to the [[Freezer]], where he explains to Kazumi the real connection between a girl's soul gem and her body. Umika then restores Kazumi's memories with magic, triggering a flashback when the girls first met Kazumi and Juubey.

In the flashback, a Kyubey-esque silhouette appears alongside Kazumi as she saves the Pleiades Saints from a witch. Stepping forward, it is revealed to be Juubey, who states what he is the one who Kazumi contracted with. Kazumi explains that she met Juubey one day after being rescued from a witch by [[Mami Tomoe]]. He offered her the contract, which she used to make her grandmother wake up again rather than cure her illness so she can spend one more day with her. Oddly, Juubey is seen next to Mami as she speaks to Kazumi, and his personality and tone of voice closely resembles Kyubey's than his own.

Juubey then makes contracts with the six Pleiades Saints, and offers them advice as they fight witches for some time. One night, he hurriedly calls the Pleiades out to the Asunaro Dome, where they see [[Yuuri Asuka]] becoming a witch. They demand that he tells them what happened, and he reveals the secret behind the soul gems and grief seeds, and that his goal is harvesting the energy produced when magical girls despair and become witches. When Kaoru attempts to hurt him, Umika grabs him and suddenly headbutts him and fires lasers into his eyes. Juubey then falls the ground, speaking in a different tone of voice and expressing confusion as to why Umika is mad at him. Umika explains that she has altered Juubey's memories to prevent him from making anymore contracts and that he'll work for them now. The story then returns to the present.

Juubey is next seen on a rooftop with Niko, watching from afar as Satomi reveals to Kazumi that she is [[Michiru Kazusa]]'s clone and her memories are fake. He remains with the Pleiades after Kazumi had fled, and is next seen with Niko again as the Pleiades receive telepathic instructions from Kazumi to meet her at the Freezer.
At the Freezer, the Pleiades speak with Kazumi, and prepare to kill her at her request as she becomes a witch. After she dies, however, her body suddenly turns into a toy clone of Niko, and the actual Niko steps out with the real Kazumi safely in tow. However, Niko suddenly turns on the group, forcing Saki to become a witch with an evil nut and killing Mirai in the process. Niko reveals herself as Kanna Hijiri, and explains in a flashback that she learned from Juubey that she was created from Niko's wish for another version of herself who had no memory of her shooting her friends when she was a child. She then made a contract with Juubey, wishing "to connect" to the Pleiades and sneak up on them without being noticed so that she can get her revenge on Niko and the Pleiades for being artificial. She attacks them by using Mirai's magic to free the darkened soul gems from the Freezer so that they can complete their transformation into witches, this including the Souju's soul gems.

[[File:KazumiMagica Chapter19 Juubeys End.png|thumb|250px|Juubey's death]]
During the battle against Kanna, Kazumi's soul gem blackens as she begins reverting back into a witch and Juubey quickly attempts to purify her gem at Umika's order. However, Juubey stops mid-spin and falls to the ground breaking into pieces. He himself doesn't know what is happening to him and says "Ciao" to Kazumi one last time before vanishing completely and leaves behind a pair of broken grief seeds. It is then that Kyubey appears, watching from afar, commenting that "your 'Juubey' was incomplete".

It is revealed that, as the Pleiades were creating the Freezer and planning to revive Michiru, Niko created an artificial incubator with her magic using a body of Kyubey that was killed by Umika. Having studied the mechanics of grief seeds, she incorporated their purification capabilities into the incubator corpse, as well as making it obey the Pleiades. She dubbed it a "Dependent-Version Incubator", and nicknamed it "Juubey". Umika then cast a wide-scale spell over all of Asunaro City as part of their plan, making it impossible for anyone within the city to perceive Kyubey at all, as well as editing their existing memories to remove Kyubey and replace him with Juubey instead, suppressing their memories of how to purify soul gems without Juubey.

'''Re: the character table / infobox...'''

I really think it makes more sense for information like "voice actor" or "character designer" to be put off to the side in a less conspicuous place, while information like "age" or "date of birth" or "school" is placed front and centre. So I think it might be a tough sell to argue for something that merges both those sets of information into a single table.

My main concern about placing the latter set of information in the infobox is the fact that some pages are ''dual characters''. The existing table is set up to handle multiple characters in one table, but the infobox is decidedly not.

'''Re: etymology'''

For this one, I'd say we just need to decide where it goes. It doesn't necessarily need to be an entire section of its own, though I think there may be a few characters where the etymology section could actually be a paragraph or two.

This suggestion:

<blockquote>
since an etymology section would be short, maybe at the very end somewhere? after trivia but before the notes.
</blockquote>

...seems quite reasonable.

'''Re: powers and abilities'''

I'm not sure I agree with this statement:

<blockquote>
a lot of characters don't have powers that can be extensively written about.
</blockquote>

I think it should be possible to get at least one paragraph for every character. For characters that appear in anime or manga, literally anything magic-looking that they're ever depicted doing could be mentioned. For characters that appear only in games, the section could verbally describe their various skills in the games. Of course, many characters appear in both interactive and non-interactive media, so in that case both may apply.

There is one unfortunate point in that we also have the [[Magic/Personal Abilities]] pages that duplicates this info. It would definitely be great if we could find a way to have one place transclude the other, rather than writing it all out twice. Though, I'm not entirely ''certain'' that that's a good idea – there may be reason to want it formatted differently in the two places.

I think some ideas are good and should be used but others seem iffy to me.

The Trivia section appearing under Gallery might cause chaos, since a lot of characters don't actually have their own galleries. I also fully agree with the History section, I think it should exist instead of the Appearances section all Record characters have.

The main argument - the Infobox - I'm kinda split in between. First of all I really like the JP name appearing under the English one, its just kinda stylish. I think the extra info could go in the Infobox under the condition that its grouped in collapsible boxes like fandom has it, and maybe even styled more? I kinda agree with the Character Info Table being kinda ugly, but the whole wiki is kinda bland (I have no idea how to even style it so Im not gonna suggest anything).

As for the dual character pages problem, I'd have to understand how the character variants in Record are planned to be treated first.
<blockquote>I think we should handle the game info for Magia Record in the same way as we're now handling it for Magia Exedra</blockquote>
<blockquote>and this would merge all non-dual variant characters into their base character page</blockquote>
Would the Duo pages stay as they are? If we do get rid of the non-duo pages they would look out of place in my opinion.

About the Memoria/Portraits they could actually go into Game Info, but the tables would most likely have to be collapsed, because them being at the bottom of the page doesn't create much problems, while appearing in the middle would. (Forgot to add that I agree with Game Info being lower, it makes sense for it to be higher in pages that describe units but this is a very general wiki, so it makes more sense to treat them like characters over units anytime.)

Oh yeah I also condone personal magic being on the character's page a lot more than on a [[Magic/Personal Abilities]] page, I don't really even understand why they exist.

'''re; character table/infobox --''' 

you have a point with the dual units. unless anyone has any suggestions, i'll try to brainstorm on any ideas that could "clean up" the page layout while also being able to accommodate 2+ characters.

'''re; powers and abilities --''' 

i'm also going to have to vote against just pulling directly from [[Magic/Personal Abilities]] -- i've taken a peek at those pages, and even just skimming the promised blood section (promised blood is where most of my character knowledge lies), i see a ''lot'' of personal speculation/extrapolations, many of which are not correct or at least not at all hinted toward in canon information. there's also the fact that there is typically a pretty clear gameplay/canon divide for a lot of magireco units, where something their in-game unit is depicted as doing may not necessarily be a canonical ability and was instead added more to spice up gameplay visuals -- off the top of my head, this ranges from something as minor as yuna's attacks having a flourish of "storm magic" (something that i personally headcanon to be true) to as extreme as asahi being able to zip around in the air in her magia (an ability that is never once mentioned/referenced/shown in any story and seems to just have been added to make asahi's attacks look more interesting than just a girl shooting a musket).

for the record, with this, i'm mostly talking about magia record characters -- magireco is where i'm most knowledgeable about the franchise and yet is also where there aren't very many visual depictions of magic to go off of. for the franchise's characters overall, i think a powers/abilities section would be very useful, and i think especially for characters like the quintet, would end up being fairly filled out. but when i consider magia record, i'm not sure how to justify it getting its own section rather than simply a subsection perhaps somewhere under "personality and traits". since yuna is my mockup character, for yuna's canonical, in-story magic that we see her use, i can think of the typical magical girl abilities (strength, soul gem stuff, etc.) and her personal "target redirection" -- her "storm magic" depicted in thunderbolt burial is never shown in the story, and though the "personal abilities" page lists off "flame resistance", this is not actually ever mentioned or shown as being something that yuna is capable of and seems to be a misinterpretation of a scene from crimson resolve. 
to be clear, i think the potentially non-story-canon abilities depicted in gameplay should be noted on character pages, but since quite a bit of it is only ever shown in a single animation and then never again, it would be hard to spin more than a sentence or two about it, which is what makes me hesitant to want to dedicate a whole standalone section to p&a, at least on the magireco pages.

'''re; trivia/gallery --''' 

i was thinking that each character would hopefully get their own gallery section, with the "gallery" heading simply linking to the standalone page. i find separate gallery pages to be much more organized and look much cleaner than for a character's gallery to be pasted in its entirety onto the main page.

'''Re: Location of Trivia section'''

This doesn't seem like it would be an issue for most characters, as the gallery will just be a link, but for minor characters who only have a very small inline gallery… it's hard to say.

'''Re: Dual Unit Pages'''

I'm not sure how best to handle dual pages, to be honest. I do think it makes sense for them to exist. It's kinda tough to fit them into any system…

Other than the dual pages, my personal opinion is that it would be best to get rid of the separate "in Magia Record" and "in Magia Exedra" pages and have just one page for each character. So, the variants would all be merged into that character's page as well.

For dual units, one possible solution would be to transclude the game data for them into the page of both (or all three of) the involved units. However, that sounds like it could get pretty complicated, so I'm not sure that's a good solution. It also implies the dual unit has no dedicated page beyond just the stats and stuff, though I don't know if that's a bad thing.

: '''Re: Powers & Abilities'''

Broadly speaking, I agree with TheresaFrog on this point and at least partly disagree with Onitora.

<blockquote>i'm also going to have to vote against just pulling directly from [[Magic/Personal Abilities]] -- i've taken a peek at those pages, and even just skimming the promised blood section (promised blood is where most of my character knowledge lies), i see a ''lot'' of personal speculation/extrapolations, many of which are not correct or at least not at all hinted toward in canon information.</blockquote>First of all, putting speculations in the powers and abilities section seems fair game to me, though of course there should be a good enough reason to back up any speculation (wild guessing at random has no place).

<blockquote>there's also the fact that there is typically a pretty clear gameplay/canon divide for a lot of magireco units, where something their in-game unit is depicted as doing may not necessarily be a canonical ability and was instead added more to spice up gameplay visuals -- off the top of my head, this ranges from something as minor as yuna's attacks having a flourish of "storm magic" (something that i personally headcanon to be true) to as extreme as asahi being able to zip around in the air in her magia (an ability that is never once mentioned/referenced/shown in any story and seems to just have been added to make asahi's attacks look more interesting than just a girl shooting a musket).</blockquote>I strongly disagree on the existence of a "pretty clear" gameplay/canon divide. There definitely ''is'' such a divide, but I would say it's very blurry.

Considering your two examples, I would suggest that the Asahi case is more likely just a "visual flair", whereas the Yuna case can reasonably be interpreted as soft evidence that she may have lightning magic or whatever it is that it's depicting. This is because it's using very limited animation, so it's difficult to argue that the movement of the sprite means anything; on the other hand, the choice of particle effect seems like it should be much more meaningful.

In general, I would say that every special attack (the Magia moves in Magia Record, Special Attacks in Magia Exedra) should be considered to be roughly representative of their canon abilities. There may be some simplifications or some extra visual flair, but it's not depicting something they're actually unable to do in canon. I would also consider their other game skills (connect and blast in Magia Record; Battle Skill in Magia Exedra; and basic attacks in both) to be at least soft canon, as long as it doesn't directly contradict anything else. I would also consider that the gameplay effects of those skills (for example, the afflictions cured or inflicted) to be accurate to their abilities, but it's difficult to derive facts about their abilities from this – the afflictions are highly-abstracted, after all. A Bind affliction could represent possibly hundreds of disparate types of canon abilities, from the obvious like ribbons or vines that restrain, to less obvious skills such as, say, stopping the enemy's movement via temporal dilation. (I'm not saying the latter exists anywhere, but I would consider it to be a valid interpretation of a Bind affliction. Though personally, I think it fits for [[Yuzuki Rion]], but I don't think there's any hard proof.)

<blockquote>for the franchise's characters overall, i think a powers/abilities section would be very useful, and i think especially for characters like the quintet, would end up being fairly filled out. but when i consider magia record, i'm not sure how to justify it getting its own section rather than simply a subsection perhaps somewhere under "personality and traits". since yuna is my mockup character, for yuna's canonical, in-story magic that we see her use, i can think of the typical magical girl abilities (strength, soul gem stuff, etc.) and her personal "target redirection" -- her "storm magic" depicted in thunderbolt burial is never shown in the story, and though the "personal abilities" page lists off "flame resistance", this is not actually ever mentioned or shown as being something that yuna is capable of and seems to be a misinterpretation of a scene from crimson resolve.</blockquote>

And then this too I have to disagree with. I don't think we should treat Magia Record characters so dramatically different from the Holy Quintet. If the Holy Quintet can have a Powers and Abilities section, then surely every character can have one – even if it's only two sentences on some of the more minor side characters in Magia Record.

to clarify, i did mean that i think a powers and abilities section would be useful for all (magical girl) characters -- just that for some characters it may look best as a subsection (ie "personality and traits" --> "powers and abilities") rather than having being its own distinct section. characters with just a few sentences would get a subsection and then characters with more information would have a "main" powers and abilities section, probably beneath (but not part of) "personality and traits". pages can have their subsections promoted to "main" section as needed, which i don't think would be too difficult.

<blockquote>First of all, putting speculations in the powers and abilities section seems fair game to me, though of course there should be a good enough reason to back up any speculation (wild guessing at random has no place)</blockquote>

speculation is certainly useful and is by far the lifeblood of this fandom, but imo is best restricted to where there is a clear disclaimer that it isn't necessarily canonical information. speculation is not ''bad'', but i don't think it has any place being mixed in with confirmed canonical information, which is what wikis are to document. when it comes to [[Magic/Personal_Abilities/Magia_Record_Promised_Blood_Girls]] specifically, i should say it's less "speculation" and more "misunderstandings (?) passed off as canon fact" -- but this discussion isn't about that page so i'll stop there. my point is that i disagree that personal speculation has any place on a character's canonical page -- wikis are for documenting canonical, confirmed-by-the-text information, and i've noticed a lot of personal headcanons/speculation/what have you passed off as canonical truth on multiple pages. given this wiki's history, i think there may be some use in setting up sub-pages (?) (still not coding-smart so this may not be the actual term for them; forgive me) dedicated to character/world/etc speculation, but when it comes to a canonical page, i don't think speculation should be allowed. that's all i'm trying to get at.

<blockquote>I strongly disagree on the existence of a "pretty clear" gameplay/canon divide. There definitely ''is'' such a divide, but I would say it's very blurry.</blockquote>

this is my bad for phrasing things awkwardly/incorrectly here -- there is a clear gameplay divide ''to me''. i do agree with you that the divide is overall rather blurry, which is why i think that, in a character's powers and abilities section, it would be wise to note when what's being described is something that's shown up in the story or is simply something that is shown in a unit animation -- this would include all of the "magic" while also not taking a firm stance in an ability being canonical or not. for example, even though i don't think asahi is able to fly like she's shown doing in her magia, i think it would be wise to include such information on her page ''with the caveat'' that it's something we only see her do in a gameplay animation and not something she's ever shown doing in the story. the viewer can come to canon/noncanon conclusions on their own; that's not for the wiki to do.

'''re; trivia location --''' 

for characters with very small galleries, i think those images could just be put onto the page beneath trivia and above notes. that shouldn't clog things up too much.

<blockquote>I don't think we should treat Magia Record characters so dramatically different from the Holy Quintet.</blockquote>

This is what we should go after. A GIANT problem with this wiki is inconsistency, I mean just look at any of the newer character pages and [[Madoka Kaname]], she has sections we didnt give to other characters such as '''Design''' or '''Personality''', so I will always say that we need to make these pages actually consistent. That's why I also agree with Celtic on the powers section, no point in making it into a subsection, even if it looks bare. The same goes for '''Trivia''' being above the gallery for some and below for others.

I agree that we could have a '''Personality''' section for each character, but would what '''Appearance''' be? We have a '''Summary''' section thats very random on Magireco pages, it has the description of the character, their doppel description and then side story, which all is effectively game info for Magia Record. Would appearance be about that or about their design?

I believe that before we do these changes, we should start doing the game unit fixes Celtic mentioned. I still don't fully understand them but they would clean the pages up a lot. - [[User:TheresaFrog421|TheresaFrog421]] ([[User talk:TheresaFrog421|talk]]) 14:18, 18 October 2025 (UTC)

'''Appearance''' would obviously be a textual description of the character, perhaps supplemented by images in some cases.

yes, i agree that page inconsistency is an issue on this wiki. however, i ''don’t'' agree that minor differences in section/subsection placement counts as ‘treat[ing] magia record characters so dramatically different from the holy quintet’. i don’t think the quintet should be held up as what the average character page on this wiki (or any wiki) should look like — the truth of the matter is that, at this point in the franchise, the quintet are so bloated with in-universe and out-of-universe information compared to the other characters that their pages are going to have to be a bit different to accommodate that. i think that powers and abilities would look best on non-quintet pages as a subsection; non-quintet characters are going to have much shorter p&a information, and to make it a whole section instead of a sub-area beneath personality and traits would look very awkward at such a prominent placement at the top of the page. aside from that, yes, i think it ultimately makes sense for pages to have their layouts roughly standardized for organization purposes. 
(also, adding this, since i'd typed this up earlier and forgot; i've seen plenty of wikis that have character pages with a roughly standardized layout, but also with some wiggle room depending on the specific character/information available. even wikis like bulbapedia will add, take out, or rearrange entire sections for a character's page if it makes sense to do so. so, i don't think that quintet/non-quintet/etc pages need to be held to exactly the same standards, given the discrepancy in information available for the quintet and the other characters in this franchise -- in this case i think it's best if some adjustments were made just to keep the pages looking nice, since readability is going to be important here). 

as for what each section would include, thank you for making me realize i haven’t explained. so, just so we’re all on the same page -- 
*'''1. Appearance'''
**'''1a. Magical Girl;''' details of the character's physical appearance. celtic minstrel noted that it seemed redundant when there are images, but i think it's important to help set up the rest of the article (most wikis, even nonfiction wikis like wikipedia, utilize descriptions even if there are images supplementing the rest of the article), as well as, as noted, to be potentially helpful for various reasons.
**'''1b. Doppel;''' details of the character's doppel's physical appearance. largely only relevant to magireco pages.
*'''2. Personality and Traits;''' a description of the magical girl's canonical characterization.
**'''2b. Powers and Abilities;''' [not part of original mockup] a description of the magical girl's canonical magical abilities.
*'''3. History;''' the character's story appearances and backstory in chronological order, broken up into subsections (ie 'crimson resolve' or 'blood(y) tragedy' for yuna's experience in cr). ''not'' an omniscient summary of various events/stories/etc featuring said character like the current side story sections.
*'''4. [misc game section];''' no idea what to title this one, but a section (or two) dedicated to game information, or a link to a subpage with game information, like stats, magia name, discs, etc.
*'''5. Gallery;''' link to a character's gallery, or potentially an on-page gallery if it's small enough.
*'''6. Trivia;''' confirmed/canonical factoids that do not otherwise fit into the article and are not vital to understanding of the character. '''not''' a section for speculation or headcanon. i emphasize this because i think a lot of editors on this wiki misunderstand what a trivia section is for; i find that [https://splatoonwiki.org/wiki/Inkipedia:Policy/Trivia inkipedia's policy article] explains it well.
*'''7. Etymology;''' [not part of original mockup] information about the character's human/doppel name; short and sweet.
*'''8. Notes;''' additional information/elaboration for information presented in the article; footnotes. may not be necessary for most pages.
*'''9. References;''' basically a bibliography. i think this wiki would significantly improve in quality if information was required to have a source attached; there have been ''numerous'' false magia record character rumors that can be directly traced back to unsourced misinformation being posted on this wiki as fact and nobody taking it down because they've just assumed it to be true.

overall, the placement of powers and abilities isn't really a hill i'm willing to die on. i think it'd be best for layout/readability if it were handled differently depending on the amount of information available, but i am only one person. even if i have my personal gripes, as long as this layout is roughly followed, at least for the magia record pages, i can't complain.

Hmm. I think the current side story sections could maybe be split to a separate page, like the Exedra side stories? So then each page has its own story. In some cases, various side stories lead directly into each other, so those ones could even be merged into one page for the entire flow, which could be even better since you can just read the entire sequence of events all at once. Examples of this are seen with Nanaka's and Hazuki's teams and the Tokime trio; I don't remember the exact details.

For me, I think '''Notes''' and '''References''' could be merged most of the time – many of those references would be in footnotes anyway, wouldn't they? It could be a '''References''' section that dumps the footnotes and then maybe adds some links, like the current '''See Also''' sections. It's not that I'm opposed to separating them out, though…

I had one thought about the Memoria Card or Portrait lists – do they go in part 4 or part 5? I added them to the Gallery on [[Café Récompense]], after all, but they're not in the gallery section in any of the character pages.

Regarding 1a and 1b – I think we don't need separate subsections for girls who don't have a doppel. Just put the content of 1a directly in 1.

I'm not entirely sold on the section title of '''History'''. Another option is '''Backstory''', but that also has problems…

I think we still need to settle on the role of the big info table and/or the infobox. As I mentioned before the conversation was shifted over here, I think OOC and IC information should be kept separate, so I'm not really sold on dumping both into the infobox…

if i can be totally honest, i don't see the need to compile summaries of stories on the wiki. if people want to read an event's story, they can...go read the event. summaries tend to give people incorrect ideas and help them to draw incorrect conclusions, anyway -- like this wiki, i've found a lot of misinformation in the english fandom stems from people reading summaries (both on this wiki and on reddit) instead of just reading stories for themselves. i'm personally going to have to vote against having dedicated "story" pages at all. i see no reason for it. this is a separate thing than having a brief rundown of a character's story involvement -- and only that character's involvement -- on that character's page in the "history" section.
editing to clarify; i think event pages should be less about compiling "here's every millisecond of this event story" and more about a nice harmony of both gameplay and story. an event's page could have a little intro blurb at the top, then a quick story synopsis (4, maybe 5 medium-long paragraphs of the primary story beats; not like the long-winded reddit "summaries" created after using mtl to read a story the day it drops), then gameplay information (currency? shop? quest nodes? etc.), then maybe the text transcripts if they fit. make the pages informational and not just mtl summaries from 4chan and reddit.

"notes" would be less about listing off where information comes from and more about clarifying information in the main part of the article. like i said, think about the footnotes in a nonfiction book. to use bulbapedia as an example, their page for the character kieran from pokemon scarlet/violet has a single note regarding his listed age. it is not a source, but it clarifies that the information comes only from the french version of the game and that the information is not present in other translations of the game. that information would not be present in a "references" section, which would simply be a bibliography.

memoria cards -- with no information attached -- would go into the gallery. a character's personal memoria could go into their gameplay section, as that is relevant to gameplay. i have no preference either way on if non-personal memoria that still features the character in some capacity also goes into the gameplay section.

yes, obviously characters without doppels will not have divided subsections to facilitate a doppel.

i think "history" works just fine. it ''is'' a compilation of the character's history in the game; "backstory" would only cover things before the main story.

my opinion has not changed about the information table. i still think they should be merged. while the table is useful, i find it, in no uncertain terms, very ugly, and it breaks up the flow of the page. i see no issue in merging ic/ooc information like how it is done on bulbapedia character tables, as i mentioned previously.

Text transcripts, if present, should be on a separate page for sure. I wouldn't say we need them, but EPF is going to great lengths to make them, so whatever! I don't think gameplay information like quest nodes and the like is super important, but I also wouldn't be opposed to adding that (the Magia Record fandom wiki has all that information, I believe). It's certainly true that the summaries could be compressed a lot more. I'm still in favour of keeping the big table and separating IC from OOC info. It may be partly because I put a lot of work into getting that table working, but I do question combining the two categories of info into one place. Maybe I could change my mind if I see a working example, I dunno. ~ [[User:Celtic Minstrel|Celtic Minstrel]] ([[User talk:Celtic Minstrel|talk]]) 01:11, 30 October 2025 (UTC)

i would be willing to help create new summaries for different events whenever those pages are reworked. my current priority is the character pages, though. just to clarify, when i mention synopsis/gameplay/transcripts, i mean for pages separate from the character pages, not on the character pages. these would clutter up the character pages.

as for the infobox, i think currently my favorite example of how it's done would be bulbapedia, as i mentioned -- [https://bulbapedia.bulbagarden.net/wiki/Carmine here] is an example. i think it looks sleek while also merging both ic and ooc information, which helps to clean up the rest of the page. it's not something that's very obvious, but the way that the various pieces of information are visually grouped together (ie, age/gender/eye color/hair color have their own section) helps to keep things organized within the box. we don't have to copy this exactly, but i think something inspired by it, at the very least, would look very nice.

- [[User:Onitora|Onitora]] ([[User talk:Onitora|talk]]) 01:32, 30 October 2025 (UTC)

The reason I go for the transcripts is - they're pretty close to objective. A summary or a synopsis inherently will have a third party's interpretation and potential misremembering of the events. Being able to point at an exact quote is tremendously helpful in maintaining objectivity. Another benefit is searchability - the wiki will never have a synopsis on every topic a person could be interested in, some stuff is really niche trivia. Yet trivia that is useful nevertheless. Being able to search through the quotes yourself makes it much easier. It's also great if you remember something was stated, but have no idea where. This is also why I'm postulating on [[Talk:Main_Page#Tabbers|adding the AdvancedSearch extension]]. This is also data preservation - gachas are live-service games doomed to disappear one day, having at least a transcript saved means a story's less likely to become lost media [[User:EPF|EPF]] ([[User talk:EPF|talk]]) 02:53, 30 October 2025 (UTC)

Wait so are we planning to get rid of the Side and Costume stories' summaries and just leave a link to a transcript? It would actually kinda help with the game section's build.

For the Memoria and Portraits going into galleries, even though I really like the way we have them now... Yeah it makes more sense for them to be in galleries instead, and just leave the personal/unique ones in the game section. I want to ask though, would we keep the Memoria/Portraits like we have them now (showing all the info) or turn them into regular gallery sections?

Also Celtic, I have an attempt at recreating Onitora's idea for the infobox on my [[User:TheresaFrog421/Sandbox|Sandbox page]], specifically for Shizuka, its not a template though. - [[User:TheresaFrog421|TheresaFrog421]] ([[User talk:TheresaFrog421|talk]]) 12:36, 1 November 2025 (UTC)

(i apologize for my silence; i am very busy at the moment and wiki work isn't my highest priority)

my idea was less that we'll be getting rid of pages and more that the event/side story/etc pages will be transcripts instead of somebody else's interpretation of events. especially since this wiki does not always source its summaries from reliable sources, many summaries have been pasted onto the wiki without permission/credit, and i know somebody personally who threw random misinformation into one of their summaries because they knew the wiki was putting their work up without credit and without fact-checking. like epf says, transcripts are as close to objective as you can get without reading the event story for yourself as well as a form of data preservation, and as i mentioned previously, these poorly-written summaries have been the source of multiple incorrect rumors/misinformation in the english fandom.

for personal memoria in the game section, those would have stats/descriptions/etc.; for memoria in the character's gallery, i think those are best off without that information attached. of course, this creates a problem for what to do about non-personal memoria -- the fandom wiki hosts all the memoria information that anybody could ever need, so i don't think it's critically important that we do the same, but i'm not against the idea of individual pages for every memoria card, either.

i think that mockup looks wonderful. i think it would certainly tidy up the character pages. thank you for your hard work!

editing to add; this is relevant more to the wiki as a whole and not juts to character page layouts, but i think i should bring it up. a while ago, a discussion in the magia union translations discord server came up about the idea of uncredited work on the wiki. going forward (and retroactively), i think it would be wise to edit various templates to include a credits section. off the top of my head, i know i've done some witch/kimochi translations that i've uploaded to the wiki that have gone entirely uncredited unless somebody were to dig around in the page history, and i know multiple others on the mut project would appreciate credit for their work if/when it is ever used on this wiki (which, if we're to include transcripts, will be inevitable).

Personally, I think the best way to properly credit people would be to ask each person to personally post their work so that their name is attached to the edit in the log. But I understand that that's not going to happen every time, so when it doesn't we should certainly make sure that credit is properly given for stuff that deserves it (chiefly translations; there are likely other things too, but I think that's the biggest one). ~ [[User:Celtic Minstrel|Celtic Minstrel]] ([[User talk:Celtic Minstrel|talk]]) 23:52, 21 November 2025 (UTC)

i've been editing in my own translations; i don't think the edit log is a good way to track translation/etc. credits. most translators do not have wiki accounts (i do, and i can think of two others, but they are not active users) and ''most people are not going to be checking the edit logs for translation credits.'' the edit log will make crediting even less clear if it's on a page that is edited regularly. while i do have my own account and have my translations attached to my name in the wiki's edit log, i'd rather have more clear credit, and that's something i've seen expressed by other users as well, especially since quite a few mut translations have more than one person working on them -- antimony and bst tend to team up for translations rather than doing solo projects, the arc 2 main story chapters all have multiple users pitching in to help, and events like ashen revolution had larger teams working on them for one reason or another; sometimes a story gets stuck in purgatory and will then have tons of credits on it because it keeps changing hands. a single person editing the page and the edit log being their credit will simply not work in most cases.

I don't know if everyone would be okay with it, but can we restructure the way Character pages are set up when they have multiple appearances?
Let's take Sayaka for example. Instead of having these pages for her:
# Sayaka Miki
# Sayaka Miki in Magia Record
# Sayaka Miki (scene 0 ver.), summer ver. etc.
# Sayaka Miki in Magia Exedra
# Sayaka Miki in Magia Exedra/Insert variants here, etc.
How about we have the structure be more cohesive, and have the units from Exedra, as well as Record, in the same page. For example:
# Sayaka Miki (character information and story stuff)
# Sayaka Miki/Magia Record (will have sections for each of her versions)
# Sayaka Miki/Magia Exedra (will have sections for each of her versions too, so that everything won't have to be split in a million different directions, and the information won't have to be repeated)
I just thought this would be more efficient and easier to uphold, especially since I've seen pages that don't have all the information from the character's main page to their record versions for example.

In particular, I'm not sure that having separate subpages for Magia Record and Magia Exedra is needed – is there a reason that information can't be on the main page? On the other hand, I like having the game units on subpages that are transcluded into the main page, as is currently done for Magia Exedra. ~ [[User:Celtic Minstrel|Celtic Minstrel]] ([[User talk:Celtic Minstrel|talk]]) 17:08, 22 November 2025 (UTC)
: I filled out the mockup to cover everything from Onitora's original mockup as well as most of what we've discussed. The text is filled with a mixture of Lorem Ipsum and transclusions of real content from Shizuka's and Mami's pages. I think it probably still needs more work though – I'm not entirely confident in the headings I chose for the "game info" sections. ~ [[User:Celtic Minstrel|Celtic Minstrel]] ([[User talk:Celtic Minstrel|talk]]) 18:42, 22 November 2025 (UTC)
:: Also, if someone wanted to show off a ''completely different'' mockup, you could feel free to add an additional <nowiki>=Toplevel Section=</nowiki> on that page and put everything for your new mockup underneath that. ~ [[User:Celtic Minstrel|Celtic Minstrel]] ([[User talk:Celtic Minstrel|talk]]) 18:43, 22 November 2025 (UTC)

While I agree with the way you want to handle Game info, I have questions.

What about the Doppel descriptions of alt units? Right now they would just cease to exist. I think it would be better if they would just be included in the game section for each unit, but to be fair I think even more things should be there, such as the unique memoria (and unique portrait for Exedra).

:Adding this, could the doppel descriptions just be added into the game info template? I still think the template deserves a remake and I think this could almost work...?

Also I don't really understand the gallery section here, the Memoria and Portraits should be on the gallery ''page'' not section, and I dont think the costume stories should be there at ALL, but I understand that there's not really any other section this belongs to... - [[User:TheresaFrog421|TheresaFrog421]] ([[User talk:TheresaFrog421|talk]]) 12:13, 23 November 2025 (UTC)

I really like the Shizuka mockup, but I have some notes.
# Appearance: I think that the Appearance section shouldn't have the Doppel in it. Personally, I wouldn't include the sub-heading for "Magical Girl" either, and just describe all the outfits seen worn (like different versions and such), all in different paragraphs in the Appearance heading.
# In Magia Record / In Magia Exedra: I think these should have descriptions of the girls as units (like their record/exedra pages already do). Info like when they were released, their unit descriptions, Doppel Descriptions, etc. for every version. I think Costume stories (like pijamas, halloween and other outfits that dont come with units and their stories should be at the Magia Record section too)
# Notes: I think Notes should be replaced with Observations, or at least used the way Observations has been used until now, where symbolism and stuff like that should go. Units that already have these are Meiyui, Kagari, Yu, Pernelle, etc.

Here's a better summary of what I mean and how the table of contents would look like:
{{Spoilerbox|1.1 Appearance 
1.2 Personality and Traits 
1.3 Powers and Abilities 
1.4 History (this will also include backstory stuff) 
1.4.1 Arc 1 
1.4.2 Event X 
1.4.3 Arc 2 
1.4.4 Event Y 
1.5 In Magia Record 
1.5.1 Normal Version (idk if a "normal version" is needed, and can't instead be placed directly on the "In Magia Record" part, but that's just me) 
1.5.1.1 Doppel Description 
1.5.2 First Sunrise Version 
1.5.2.1 Doppel Description 
1.5.3 Costumes (includes stories) 
1.6 In Magia Exedra (this would also not be repeated for 3 star units since their kioku just have their names and the heartphials treat them all as one character even when they have different costumes anyway) 
1.6.1 Tiro Finale (more than just the unit/gameplay features for each one) 
1.6.2 Bebe-O'-Lantern 
1.6.3 Fiore Finale 
1.6.4 Tiro Finale Liberation 
1.7 Etymology 
1.8 Observations / Notes 
1.9 Trivia 
1.10 Gallery (this should be in the end imo, since it is quite lengthy) 
1.10.1 Memoria 
1.10.2 Portraits 
1.11 References}}

* '''Doppel Descriptions''': Can't we just put all the various doppel descriptions in the currently-marked place?
* '''Gallery''': I don't think the memoria and portrait list should be carted off to a separate Gallery page. Whether or not they go in the gallery at all is an open question though – they could belong in the Game Info section instead. As for costume stories, I can agree that they don't really belong there; I plopped them into the Gallery section because they showcase the costumes themselves. If we were going with that mockup, we'd probably adjust things so that it's just the costume images and not the stories as wel.
* '''Unit Descriptions''': That's a good idea, actually.

My issue with the Doppel descriptions being in Appearance is that it doesn't feel like it fits there? Atleast not the descriptions, when that section is about their looks. It just feels like its there because there's no other place to put it in.

I believe the stats template should be changed so its showing off more, like the card art since its not gonna be above it on the page (like we have it now with each unit having a page), and I think doppels would fit in there well.

About the game sections I think it would be best if they had a "top" section, for Record that would have the costume stories and for Exedra it would have the description and the personal Portrait, since they dont change depending on unit. If we put the Memoria/Portraits there then it would be best to close those tables since they can get VERY lengthy (thats why Im more for them being in the gallery pages but I can see the other perspective). - [[User:TheresaFrog421|TheresaFrog421]] ([[User talk:TheresaFrog421|talk]]) 15:37, 23 November 2025 (UTC)

looks like there's been quite a bit of discussion since i last posted. to try to address everything --

<blockquote>In particular, I'm not sure that having separate subpages for Magia Record and Magia Exedra is needed – is there a reason that information can't be on the main page?</blockquote>
i do not think everything should be merged into a single page. while it will make more pages to be maintained, i think it is in our best interests for organization for characters to have separate pages for each of their incarnations -- not least because the magireco timeline ''is not the same as the anime timeline.'' putting magia record story information onto sayaka's primary character page alongside information from the original anime run and rebellion would only serve to confuse people. though i don't think we should be titling the pages like "sayaka miki in magia record" like the current standard is; i think we're better off slicing that down a bit into something more like "sayaka miki (magia record)" or "sayaka miki/magia record", with these linked on the primary page.

<blockquote>[...] I agree with the way you want to handle Game info [...]</blockquote>
for the most part, me as well. i think those boxes are useful, save for the fact that i think magia record and magia exedra information should not share a page.

<blockquote>What about the Doppel descriptions of alt units? Right now they would just cease to exist. I think it would be better if they would just be included in the game section for each unit, but to be fair I think even more things should be there, such as the unique memoria (and unique portrait for Exedra). </blockquote>
i think the official doppel description(s) should go under game information alongside their gameplay information; the section under "appearance" is not intended for the official blurb to be copy-pasted into. and i also agree that personal memoria should be in the gameplay section.

<blockquote>Also I don't really understand the gallery section here, the Memoria and Portraits should be on the gallery page not section, and I dont think the costume stories should be there at ALL, but I understand that there's not really any other section this belongs to...</blockquote>
ditto.

<blockquote>Appearance: I think that the Appearance section shouldn't have the Doppel in it. Personally, I wouldn't include the sub-heading for "Magical Girl" either, and just describe all the outfits seen worn (like different versions and such), all in different paragraphs in the Appearance heading.</blockquote>
i think doppels have description priority over different outfits. aside from describing units with alternative appearances (ex; vampire yuna), i don't think we should be describing anything outside of a character's magical girl outfit, her witch/doppel, and maybe her school uniform.

<blockquote>I think Costume stories (like pijamas, halloween and other outfits that dont come with units and their stories should be at the Magia Record section too)</blockquote>
i vote against having summaries of events/stories/etc. on a character's page, even if that story is associated with a costume for that character.

<blockquote>Notes: I think Notes should be replaced with Observations, or at least used the way Observations has been used until now, where symbolism and stuff like that should go.</blockquote>
'''hard''' no on putting speculation on characters' canonical pages. this is how misinformation spreads and headcanons are passed on as fact. given the history of this wiki and the nature of this franchise in general, i am open to the idea of characters having a linked "speculation" subpage for people to mess around on. but '''not''' on the main page that is intended to compile canonical information. that is not what wikis are for, and while i feel mean bringing it up, this is a big reason why this wiki's reputation is currently so poor.

'''regarding memoria''' -- i think personal memoria with its gameplay information should be on the character's page, beneath the gameplay section. memoria that is ''not'' personal ''but otherwise showcases the character in some capacity'' should be in the gallery subpage. the fandom wiki currently hosts every memoria card and is currently where most users go when they want to look up a card's information. if we want to also host gameplay information, i do not mind, but i think we should follow in the lead of cards having separate pages with that information, rather than users needing to look up cards on character pages. ''especially'' since character pages often do not have every memoria card that features that character.

:In that case, perhaps we should start mocking up an alternate stats template as well?

<blockquote>aside from describing units with alternative appearances (ex; vampire yuna), i don't think we should be describing anything outside of a character's magical girl outfit, her witch/doppel, and maybe her school uniform. </blockquote>

:I don't think there's a need to describe the school uniform unless they're a character who "customizes" it. Mostly I'd say the description should cover costume-agnostic aspects (hair, eyes, build, etc), the magical girl costume, and for those that have one, the magical girl swimsuit.
:But while that's the bare minimum, I think it's fine to cover other costumes that they're seen in as well. This could include costumes that have a dedicated unit (eg vampire Yuna), costumes that have a dedicated story (eg tiger Shizuka), and even just random costumes that appear in a story (eg pyjamas, winter clothes, just casual clothes, etc). I don't think these are necessary to have, mind you, but they would be reasonable to include if someone feels like writing that description.

<blockquote>'''hard''' no on putting speculation on characters' canonical pages. this is how misinformation spreads and headcanons are passed on as fact.</blockquote>

:I really think it's fine to include some speculation on the main page as long as it's clearly marked using the Theory templates… but only small speculations, like bullet points or a short paragraph. Detailed theories definitely don't belong on the main page.

<blockquote>'''regarding memoria''' -- i think personal memoria with its gameplay information should be on the character's page, beneath the gameplay section. memoria that is ''not'' personal ''but otherwise showcases the character in some capacity'' should be in the gallery subpage. the fandom wiki currently hosts every memoria card and is currently where most users go when they want to look up a card's information. if we want to also host gameplay information, i do not mind, but i think we should follow in the lead of cards having separate pages with that information, rather than users needing to look up cards on character pages.

:I don't think the memoria/portrait list should be relegated to a subpage (unless that subpage is "the Magia Record/Exedra game info page"). It's easy to make it be initially collapsed though if you're just worried about space. And the way the lists are built automatically by the wiki software means that character pages actually ''will'' have every memoria card featuring that character (assuming they're all tagged properly).

I prefer to have everything about a character nominally on one page. There could be subpages for organization, but I'd prefer them to be transcluded into the main page to keep everything together. I know that the Magia Record and primary timelines are different, but the characters aren't especially different in the two timelines. We ''could'' link to the subpages instead of transcluding them, I suppose; it's not what I'd prefer, but I guess it would work. (This would be like how many pages link to their gallery instead of directly including it.)

<blockquote>In that case, perhaps we should start mocking up an alternate stats template as well?</blockquote>

Yes, no matter if we put the info on the main page or a /Magia Record subpage, the Template should be expanded.

I have an attempt? on my [[User:TheresaFrog421/Sandbox#Testing out Record Stats|Sandbox page]] but its rough, I think the Card display is good, the only character that has 1 card is the valentines Kuro, and she's an outlier anyway so I don't think we should accommodate the whole template for her.

It's probably easy to tell that I used the Exedra template we have as inspo, but that's because I just like it tbh.

Tbh Im fully okay with the Doppel being out of the template, just still in the game section, thats because I don't think the way I implemented it, is very good :sob:

I'm sure there's useful stuff that could be added to the template that I didn't add. Also treat my design like the infobox I made, its not a working Template. - [[User:TheresaFrog421|TheresaFrog421]] ([[User talk:TheresaFrog421|talk]]) 18:29, 24 November 2025 (UTC)

That mockup's not bad. There's the question of how an EX skill would be inserted into it though, and it feels a bit weird that Connect/Magia are side-by-side but only Doppel gets its own row. I also agree that the Doppel Info section isn't great, but it's not terrible, I guess… I think I wouldn't give the English and Japanese text equal weight like that though. Maybe put it in tabs like in the Witch template. ~ [[User:Celtic Minstrel|Celtic Minstrel]] ([[User talk:Celtic Minstrel|talk]]) 20:12, 24 November 2025 (UTC)

I decided to fully remove the Doppel info section (after being deadset on it being there), even if it looked good I think it should be separate from the Game Info, the same way the Spirit Enhancement Data is separate. I also moved the Doppel/2nd Magia next to the Connect and Magia, it looks way better. I think the current look is best.

The last thing I see a problem with is the EX skill, mostly the scaling, because it doesnt fit with the other skills, that are scaled by the unit rarity. I think I could do it like the previous doppel/like how we have the crystalis on the exedra template, but I honestly prefer the first idea.

i'm just going to address one thing here, because it's all i have the time for right now --

<blockquote>I really think it's fine to include some speculation on the main page as long as it's clearly marked using the Theory templates… but only small speculations, like bullet points or a short paragraph. Detailed theories definitely don't belong on the main page.</blockquote>
i really hate to be harsh, but allowing speculation and headcanon is why this wiki is treated as a joke in a lot of serious fan spaces. ''no'', the wiki should not be allowing random users to insert their personal speculation onto canonical character pages, directly next to canonical information. this is how misinformation is confused for canon. this is how misinformation ''has spread and continues to spread'' throughout the english fandom. i know that this wiki was made simply to compile old 4chan speculation from when the anime was still airing, not to act as an objective information source as it is attempting to now, which is why, to stay true to the site's roots and to the nature of this fanbase in general, i am not against the idea of a subpage (ie, Yuna Kureha/Speculation) to compile these things. but ''not'' on the canon pages. ''not'' directly beside canonical information, disclaimer or no.

the amount of ''very incorrect'' speculation and other information on this wiki is why i decided to attempt to pitch in. if the wiki continues to allow blatant headcanon on pages, then i am sorry, but i don't think that there is much to be done to clean it up. if this comes off as rude, then i apologize.

'''Re: Everything:''' I really agree that there's a lot of speculation and incorrect information overall. A sleek new infobox to not confuse all the meta facts versus the in-universe facts would be great.

For the powers, there's been a lot of cases where something was a misundertsanding, or just incorrect. There was the time Karin couldn't steal magic items even though she stole grief seeds in her mss, there was the assumption that Himena could do coordinator stuff because she synthesizes powers, there was Yuna being immune to fire because of one CG, there was Sudachi teleporting because she grabbed Shizuka once, etc. I think it's a good idea to not only go through all of the characters, but to also label when something is in their story, or their record animations, or even in cases where it is only their magia archive entries (Gunhild comes to mind)

Frankly, I think we should also do away with spoiler tags for text. The wiki page is meant for spoilers. I think that if there is any spoiler tag stuff left, the tags at the start of the articles (with clear labeling of which media is being spoiled). And even then it should only be for the latest media. Forgive me but I think stuff like Arc 1 should be public knowledge by now.

Speculation doesn't deserve to be next to canon material, as that makes it super confusing. I think a section for ==Speculation== or even a sub-page would be ideal. If it were up to me, it would be next to Trivia or something like that. Community theories are welcome, but not when placed next to canon.

As for replacing record event summaries with transcripts, that would solve a lot of issues, especially since Exedra events are already getting that treatment. I think the available summaries should still have a place somewhere, but maybe a sub-section or sub-page lik /plot. Even then, a lot of them use different languages, come from weird places like 4chan, but if they're listed at the top then a reader would know what to expect.

Frankly, a way to remove a lot of speculation would be to use references. 99% of wikis already use them. Forive me if I don't know the tools or guidelines for the wiki, but I have a plan for everything after the formats / templates / other details are decided upon:

# Phase 0: We decide on the rules for this cleanup plan that I have listed below. If anyone wants to change it, I'm willing to do so.

# Phase 1: Set the new rules (Before w start editing)
## We need to finalize the details on the infobox that doesn't confuse meta facts and in-universe facts. Once it's ready, we make it the official template for everyone. Make a list of the characters to go through and implement this into one by one.
## Write the Style Giude: We need one page that spells out the exact order for sections (like putting Speculation next to Trivia, or on its own sub-page) and what goes where. This will stop people from just adding stuff randomly.
## Remove the Spoiler Tags: As a rule, we should do away with spoiler tags for text. The wiki is for spoilers. We can have one clear warning at the top of an article, but stuff like Arc 1 should be public knowledge by now.

# Phase 2: Make a Master List and THrow Away the Junk
## List Everything: We make a master list of every character, event, and topic page. We tag them all with a <nowiki>[[Category:Cleanup Needed]]</nowiki> so we know what’s left to do.
## Delete the Meme Pages: We go through the list and immediately tag any pages that are just for memes or jokes with <nowiki>[[Category:Deletion Candidate]]</nowiki> or something. Then we delete them. No reason to keep stuff like Poorf*g if you ask me, this isn;t 4chan. Alternatively, a page specifically for these meme stuff can be made.

# Phase 3: The Actual Cleanup (Page-by-Page)

This is where we take pages from the Cleanup Needed list and move them through stages.

For a CHARACTER PAGE:

Step 1:

Read the page and mark every case of misunderstanding or incorrect info. We all know the ones: like Karin not being able to steal magic items, references to Livia's husbad, etc.

Figure out what needs references and if one can't be found, we ask around then remove it if we can't find the reference for it.

Step 2:

Fix the Powers: We go through the Powers section and label when something is in their story, their Record animations, or just from their Magia Archive entries (like with Gunhild). We remove anything that’s just a guess, but I think it's enough to just say things like "Accordig to Magia Archive, Ranka's unique magic is blah blah blah. This might likely mean that blah blah lah"

Cut the Speculation: As I said before, we move any theorycrafting off the main page, or at least its own sub-section for the character since a lot of characters won't have any speculation.

Add the New Infobox and Layout: We put in the new sleek infobox and reorganize the page to follow the new section order.

Add References: We add sources for everything. This is the best way to kill baseless claims.

Step 3: Final Check.

Someone else checks the page to make sure it’s clean and follows all the new rules. Then it gets marked as don eor the category for the cleanup needed is removed.

For an EVENT PAGE:

Step 1: As Before

Step 2:

Replace the Summary with a Transcript: As for replacing Record event summaries with transcripts, that would solve a lot of issues. The main page should have the full transcript, just like Exedra events are already getting that treatment.

Archive Old Summaries: The available summaries should still have a place somewhere, but on a /plot sub-section or sub-page. At the top, we list where they came from—like if they're from 4chan or use different languages—so a reader knows what to expect at least. Making summaries of the events would be the lengthiest process we could ever hope to achieve, but transcripts would circumvent that issue.

Step 3: Final check.

Phase 4: Track Progress

We use the category system to track everything. We’ll have categories like Cleanup In Progress and Cleanup Verified so everyone can see what’s left to do.

The main Wiki Cleanup page will have a list showing our progress, or even templates we've agreed to use, etc.

Once a page is done, we can just keep track of events and new stuff that would change the page's status quo

I believe this plan is straightforward. If most people are up for it, (and after we've decided on what standards we'll use) we can continue. What do you all think? [[User:Sweet Beanie|Sweet Beanie]] ([[User talk:Sweet Beanie|talk]]) 14:11, 26 November 2025 (UTC)

----

I agree with the plan, tho we still have a lot to decide on.

:1. Where do the Memoria and Portraits go?
I still believe it should be the gallery, them having a certain character in themselves doesnt actually mean anything unless theyre personal/unique, now I also know that the Memoria don't really appear anywhere else but the character pages, so I can understand why the info should still be kept, but the tables are VERY big, its usually not too much of an issue because of the game character pages (like '''Sayaka in Record''' or '''Iroha in Exedra''') these help split these out but together they're way too big, now obviously this can be fixed by just collapsing them from the start, but then they would be awkardly placed in the game info. The Gallery pages are already giant, so these tables being in them wouldnt be that weird.

:2. Speculation
I agree with Sweet Beanie, that it should be a section of the page somewhere low, most speculation is too small to warrant a whole subpage for it. I think we could even hide them in something like the spoiler boxes we have, just to make SURE nobody mistakes it for official info. I do believe Speculation can exist on this wiki, like the whole Nighthawk is Kuroe and AQ is Alina thing, but I agree that it shouldnt be weaved in with trivia.

:3. Record Game Section
To be fair I think this one is decided on, just needs actual working on, like the [[Template:Magia Record Stats|Stats Template]] being updated (I could do it IF I UNDERSTOOD THE TEMPLATE), the doppels, personal memoria and costume stories, none of that is done yet. Also where the game sections are, I believe they can be on the main page, the info is always hidden anyway, tho the naming on the current mockup page feels rough, but I know that making it ==Game Info== and then ===Magireco=== might make it look weirder, with how small the headers would be.

About the event summaries and transcripts I guess I'm more for transcripts too, but I dont really know how to handle that, so I'll just stay out of this. - [[User:TheresaFrog421|TheresaFrog421]] ([[User talk:TheresaFrog421|talk]]) 16:08, 26 November 2025 (UTC)

I only have two things to say about SweetBeanie's proposal, which mostly sounds good:

# I'm against deleting the "binbou-chan" page. It was already moved to the Community namespace in any case, so I don't think anyone will be mistaking it for canon.
# I'm against putting event transcripts on event pages. An event page should at most summarize the plot of the event. The existing event pages are way to verbose in their so-called "summaries" - a summary should be at most five paragraphs and definitely not several sections. Then it can link to the transcript on a separate page, for people who want it. And sure, we can also link to the older "summaries" as well. (They are not summaries though. They are a description of the entire event. I'm not sure what the word is for this, but "summary" is not it.)

I do like the idea of having a separate section for "Speculation". It would go after "Trivia", and would always use the theory templates. It would be omitted if there is no speculation. I'd also say that we should limit such speculation to only "highly plausible" theories. It's hard to say what makes a theory "highly plausible", but I'd say it at least needs to have multiple points of support in canon. If there are more off-the-wall theories to cover, like the "Nighthawk is Kuroe and AQ is Alina" theory, they could go on a separate page if someone really wants them to be on the wiki, but that sort of thing doesn't belong on the main page for sure.

Not putting any speculation whatsoever on the main page isn't great because there are some things that are technically speculation (as canon doesn't officially confirm it) but which appear to be an obvious consequence of some aspect of canon. Of course, if we decide these things aren't speculation at all, we could revist the issue of speculation on the main page. (Sorry, I don't have an example off the top of my head.)

I get why people would want to make the claim based on that, but I don't think any of those can be seen as more than just coincidences. Lots of people like strawberry milk, for example. And lots of people draw art. Admittedly there aren't very many that can make labyrinths, but there's no reason to assume that Alina is unique in that regard (even if she is unique in that regard amongst canon characters). Besides, isn't being part of a large group actually very ''unlike'' Alina? A-Q's personality in general is very unlike Alina, in fact. In short… sure, I can see the argument, but a pile of coincidences isn't really enough to merit putting it on Alina's or A-Q's main page.

For the Memoria and Portraits, I think it would be reasonable to have a sub-page for it entirely. There's way too many of them. We can have them like: Sayaka Miki/Memoria.[[User:Sweet Beanie|Sweet Beanie]] ([[User talk:Sweet Beanie|talk]]) 14:33, 27 November 2025 (UTC)

I'm not sure how good of an idea this is, but maybe we should directly change (or add an option in-) [[Template:Magia Record Memoria List]] and [[Template:Magia Exedra Portrait List]] to be smaller and simpler, to fit into a gallery page nicely. Having a separate page for memoria/portraits seems nice but would that mean that Candy (who has a total of 1 memoria and 3 portraits) should get her own page too? I think there's just too many witches/characters that have a small ammount of memoria/portraits to justify each one of them getting a page for those. In my idea the new templates would look more like the <nowiki><gallery></nowiki> syntax (again to fit into the galleries) and only keep the name and rarity of the memoria/portrait. This does sacrifice details which is not good but the detail is kind of the root of our problem. The details would still be visible on the memoria's/portrait's page, which in my opinion is okay enough. To be fair I have no idea how this would be done. - [[User:TheresaFrog421|TheresaFrog421]] ([[User talk:TheresaFrog421|talk]]) 00:52, 14 February 2026 (UTC)

Hmm… there's no See Also section either… they could go in References, but that doesn't quite fit.

There might be too many External links in some cases? Like Iroha is gonna have WAY too many, my only suggestion is that we either put them in the unit pages (maybe with <nowiki><noinclude></nowiki>) or get rid of them, but I guess since they're here in the first place, someone does care about them.

Also I believe the Infobox is fully finished! As of now its on [[Template:Infobox character/Test]] and fully documented. I decided to add unique colors to the infobox just so it looks nicer, we do that for Witches already so why not for everyone.

As of now I believe the only things to migrate before we can fully start this are Trivia and the External Links sections, but tbh I dont wanna do it. I have a lot of time but I already migrated all the Magireco Units into their own pages and all images so I believe its fair (╥﹏╥). - [[User:TheresaFrog421|TheresaFrog421]] ([[User talk:TheresaFrog421|talk]]) 15:18, 13 March 2026 (UTC)

I don't understand. Why would Iroha have so many external links? Why would any page have a lot of external links at the bottom (as opposed to sprinkled throughout)? ~ [[User:Celtic Minstrel|Celtic Minstrel]] ([[User talk:Celtic Minstrel|talk]]) 17:01, 15 March 2026 (UTC)

----

Iroha has so many because of how many record units she has, and yeah I agree that putting them on the bottom is worse, but I dont really know what you mean by sprinkled throughout? If you mean like what I said, where they would just be on the unit's page then yeah, I agree.

Also I have another thing I want to talk about, infobox images, cause right now we have pretty tight rules of what we use for them, with that usually being their appearance in their original media. But I think it would just be easier AND look better if we didnt do it this way. NOW I understand, right now we have '''In Magia Record''' pages, so I understand why the manga characters don't use images from record, as to differentiate the pages, but... after we get rid of them there should be nothing stopping us from using them. I already tested a LOT of characters with the infobox, and they all look way better when they use the profile images from record than just the colorless images from their original mangas. Its not like those images arent drawn by their artists, and theyre not Magia Record exclusive either, I mean Yuma has her art reused for her 3star Kioku for Exedra. Also there are pages that already break the rules such as Umika using an image from Madoka Magica Online. There are exceptions, such as the suzune characters already having colored images in their infoboxes, so I wouldnt change them, and also characters like Minou, her [[:File:Card 40244 l.png|profile image]] is pretty cluttered, and idk if it would be good to use it in the infobox.

You… haven't really answered the question of why Iroha would have so many external links at the bottom. I also don't know why you took "sprinkled throughout" to mean "on the unit's page" either. I probably wouldn't be asking if I knew what the links were.

I don't think the infobox image rules are as tight as you're saying. I know I've been saying that, ideally, the infobox image should be taken from the original media or auxiliary materials associated with it (like promotional materials for example). That's my opinion; was it really an actual rule? I do think it's typically better to have a colour image when available, though. Preferably still from or related to the original media. I definitely don't think it's good to turn things into "every character page now features an image from Magia Exedra in the infobox".

~ [[User:Celtic Minstrel|Celtic Minstrel]] ([[User talk:Celtic Minstrel|talk]]) 13:29, 14 April 2026 (UTC)

----

For why Iroha would have so many I said "Iroha has so many because of how many record units she has", and for why at the bottom, thats just because that's how they are now. Right now the links are at the bottom of the pages. If I took the sprinkled throughout wrongly then just explain it T-T, and if you don't know what links I'm talking about, I'm talking about the external links to youtube videos that appear at the bottom of character/old unit pages (ex: [[Iroha Tamaki#External links]]). I (also) said that I wouldnt mind just not keeping them but if they're there, that means someone cares about them.

The infobox thing is not an actual rule, its just that when you said it, I treated it like one, so dont mind the wording. You're right that using images from the original media would be preffered, but sometimes the Magireco images are just better, they represent the characters better (because they're colored). You're right about Exedra, but like I said, the profile images from Magireco (that I was saying are the images we should use) are drawn by their og artists, I wouldnt choose using a 3D render over a 2D one (unless we dont have any other like [[Yotsugi Ononoki]] right now), and its not even the case for Sumire and Fuka, where they still use their 2D images.

Okay, so bundling them at the bottom of the page definitely isn't the best look, though it's also nice to have them all together in one place… hmm… I could see some of them being moved to unit pages, perhaps.

I think this could even be a section separate from External Links, or even a separate page, which links to videos for everything related to a particular character.

Ultimately I don't know which approach is best. All three (four?) of the ones I just mentioned have significant downsides. Putting them at the bottom of the page (whether in External Links or a separate section) sorta looks like clutter and takes up a lot of space. Putting them on the unit pages makes them much, much less visible, and thus hard to find. Putting them on a separate page means a new page for every Magia Record/Exedra character to hold these links.

~ [[User:Celtic Minstrel|Celtic Minstrel]] ([[User talk:Celtic Minstrel|talk]]) 13:59, 14 April 2026 (UTC)

Maybe one page where ALL external links are all in one place? It would be VERY cluttered, but we could use the <nowiki>{{#ev:youtube||}}</nowiki> to make it look better. Imo putting them in unit pages is the most "correct" way of doing this, but this idea seems good too in my opinion. It would be called '''Gallery:Magia Record/Videos''' or something like that (definitely needs a better name). I'm not sure how it would be better to split up the videos though, by character, by type of animation or just by units. Idk in my opinion its the best way just because it doesnt clutter up any other page, but it also has the problem of being hard to find. What do you think?

- [[User:TheresaFrog421|TheresaFrog421]] ([[User talk:TheresaFrog421|talk]]) 14:23, 14 April 2026 (UTC)

----

Hmm, that's not a bad idea – using the Gallery namespace for videos seems like a pretty reasonable thing to do.

As you say, the actual organization of the Gallery page (or pages) could be done in a number of different ways, but whatever way is chosen, it can be linked to in the '''See Also''' section on all Magia Record pages.

My thought on organization would be to split it into the following pages:

* [[Gallery:Magia Record/Main Story Videos]] – divide the page into 5 sections for Main Story Arc 1, Another Story Arc 1, Main Story Arc 2, Another Story Arc 2, and Puella Historia
* [[Gallery:Magia Record/Event Story Videos]] – divide the page into sections by topic (eg Summer, Valentines, Tanabata) or year; Scene 0 could go here too, or maybe on a subpage of its own
* [[Gallery:Magia Record/Magical Girl Story Videos]] – divide the page into sections by faction or city, perhaps? Costume stories can go here too.
* [[Gallery:Magia Record/Magical Girl Quotes]] – as above

There are a lot of other options too, and I'm not sure if the above list is comprehensive. (And I realize that the first two items on the above list weren't what we were directly discussing here, but it does make sense to deal with them in the same way.)

We could then do a similar breakdown for Magia Exedra. Probably one page per section in the in-game Story Gallery.

I think your list is perfect, its really only missing transformation and battle animations (Magias, Doppels and 2nd Magias), though they could go under one page (like right now in the Exeternal Links sections theyre both under ''Gameplay Videos'').

Also I dont see a need to split the character based pages by anything really, but if by anything I would just split them the same way that theyre split on [[Magia Record Characters]].

The Magia Record Characters split doesn't really work if you're grouping by character – despite the name, that page is a list of ''units'', not characters, so the same character appears in several different places.

~ [[User:Celtic Minstrel|Celtic Minstrel]] ([[User talk:Celtic Minstrel|talk]]) 23:14, 14 April 2026 (UTC)

I meant the way the characters are split on there, without the units, so like ''Arc 1'', ''Arc 2'', ''Puella Historia'', ''Side Story'' and all that (just with some changes like not merging all the manga characters together).

Hmm… I suppose that ''might'' be okay, since it's just a list of links for each character… unless you were thinking of using the Youtube embed code and formatting it like a gallery? In that case it'd probably be better to break them down into smaller categories than "by arc" would produce.

~ [[User:Celtic Minstrel|Celtic Minstrel]] ([[User talk:Celtic Minstrel|talk]]) 00:01, 15 April 2026 (UTC)

I would prefer to use the Youtube embed code yes, I dont really see why we should split them THAT much though? Most characters will not have a lot of videos, plus we have the pages split by type of videos already.

- [[User:TheresaFrog421|TheresaFrog421]] ([[User talk:TheresaFrog421|talk]]) 10:09, 15 April 2026 (UTC)

Well, videos probably take up more space than a character icon, right? Maybe I'm wrong about this… they definitely take up more space than a list of links though.

But, I suppose it would be better to actually see it before making a final judgement.

Having seen what you did, I can say: I think it's very bad. There are way, way, waaay too many headers. I think having one header per character is a no go… and without one header per character, it may indeed make sense to subdivide some of those sections.

I don't really know what you mean (like how you plan on dividing), but go for it.

Sorry – I'm still not sure quite how best to divide them. Like, there are some obvious subdivisions (Crescent Moon Villa, Wings of the Magius, Nanaka's team, Mito's trio), but most of them aren't so clear; and even the ones that clear might be a bit too much.

Another option would be to ''not'' subdivide them at all – just make it an alphabetical list of all characters, like on the ages page.

~ [[User:Celtic Minstrel|Celtic Minstrel]] ([[User talk:Celtic Minstrel|talk]]) 20:21, 2 May 2026 (UTC)

-----

By the way – this isn't related to the above question, but I think it would be worth making an **Appellations** section part of the standard layout – like on Emily's page, for a more extreme example. It would cover both how the character refers to others (for example, Kanagi usually uses the surname with -kun, except with those she's especially close to, in which case she uses the surname alone), and how others refer to the character. ~ [[User:Celtic Minstrel|Celtic Minstrel]] ([[User talk:Celtic Minstrel|talk]]) 18:34, 3 May 2026 (UTC)

----

That seems like useful info, but I think that info could just go into ''Personality and Traits''? Emily could get a subsection just for her nicknames list but I feel like for others this should just go to ''Personality and Traits''. Though maybe it should be a subsection of ''Personality and Traits''? I don't think this is a bad idea, just not as its own section.
- [[User:TheresaFrog421|TheresaFrog421]] ([[User talk:TheresaFrog421|talk]]) 08:48, 4 May 2026 (UTC)

This isn't related to anything previous too, but should we have a to-do list on top of the [[Puella Magi Wiki:Wiki Cleanup 2025/Article formatting|main page]]? It would be clearer what's being done/what is planned, cause right now its not that clear.
- [[User:TheresaFrog421|TheresaFrog421]] ([[User talk:TheresaFrog421|talk]]) 11:16, 4 May 2026 (UTC)

Yeah, I think it makes sense for it to be a subsection of Personality and Traits. Emily is a bit of an outlier in that she has a unique nickname for everyone, but I think quite a few characters have unique nicknames for at least a few people, so I think it's worth a separate section. That said, perhaps there are some characters where it would amount to a single line and thus a whole section might be excessive… but regardless, I think it's good to get that info in there.

Oh god I just remembered something we need to discuss, how do we make sure we dont edit pages at the same time and cause edit conflicts? I know we currently plan to categorize the pages that need fixing, so a DPL could be an easy list maker for us, but I was thinking maybe we should just make a regular list, that people can edit to write their username next to a page, save the edit, go edit the page, and when theyre done they delete the page from the list and claim another one. Again this probably has flaws im not thinking about right now, but I really dont want edit conflicts to happen. I also have no idea how many people will do this???

I'd think the main thing to be worried about is someone making a small correction while you're rearranging the page, since there's no way to tell that you're currently working on it. The only thing you can really do about that is look at the change they made and manually make the same change in your copy (if it still applies).

The list you proposed for assigning pages to certain people makes sense if we expect multiple people to work on reformatting, but it looks like there may only be one or two people working on that, so it wouldn't have much of a benefit.

I'd like to help, but it is a bit unclear what the template/format that's been decided on is. I specifically avoided this discussion because it got a bit too lengthy so I imagine others did the same too. Many pages have issues like having the side story section repeated multiple times, etc. Nobody would have issues with streamlining character pages at all. I'd like to ask:

# what is the ultimate decision on character sub-pages? Is it still necessary to have a page family for a character? I'll make up a version for Yu to use her as my example, just imagine she appeared outside Magia Record, has many alts in Magia Record and also in Exedra (and yeah I also know we're using the full name for her, but just ignore that for the example, also just to clarify this version is tedious and too much in my opinion):
## Yu
### Yu in Magia Record
#### Yu (Kimono)
#### Yu (Windrider)
#### Yu (Scene 0)
#### Ultimate Yu
#### Holy Yu
#### Rumor Yu
#### Yu and Shi Duo
### Yu in Magia Exedra
#### Yu/Winter Killer

Btw for this I just suggest we consolidate it into a singular character page, which will have the entries for magia record, exedra, alts, duos, etc. That's how every other wiki usually has them.

# Second Question: for the parts like character history, appearances, symbolism/observations, can we start with some pages just to showcase what we mean to achieve? We can use characters like Mami or Sayaka to show that of course, but I brought up Yu specifically because her page is much more complete than others' with her backstory, appearances, personality, etc.

As for the character edit order, we can just call dibs and split it by a weekly basis. We can just check if the characters we've chosen to do have been called dibs on by Sunday overall, then if not, they're free real-estate. We can also check if anyone has started working on them with edits that very day. A masterlist for the characters, and tasks which have to be done would be helpful too.

Thank you for wanting to help.

For your first question we already decided to delete most of the pages, you can see how the planned pages will look on [[Puella Magi Wiki:Wiki Cleanup 2025/Article formatting#Article Mockup|the main page of this project]]. We will keep pages like Ultimate Madoka and Holy Mami, because they are distinct enough, and restricting them to their main forms is unnecessary. The Magia Record units already have their own pages, separate from the '''X (Variant)''' or '''X in Magia Record''' pages.

For your second question, we already the [[Puella Magi Wiki:Wiki Cleanup 2025/Article formatting#Article Mockup|Article Mockup on the main page]], but if you mean a more detailed one (as in with direct and correct info), then feel free to either edit the mockup, or make your own based on it.

If you want to see more things that are planned, see the To-do list on the main page, Its still WIP, but its based off your original list.

(I forgot to comment on the edit order) I don't really know what you mean? Do you mean like people choose their characters on Sunday, or do they choose them throughout the week and only start working on them after Sunday, or something else completelly?

- [[User:TheresaFrog421|TheresaFrog421]] ([[User talk:TheresaFrog421|talk]]) 10:01, 5 May 2026 (UTC)

Yeah, I meant specifically something like "Hey I'll do Puella Care so don't touch those." but if we want to be more planned about it, by using a list of characters/pages to consolidate, and then a simple note next to it, and if it's not gotten started within the week noted, their name is removed and someone else takes it.

Like this:
* Iroha Tamaki
** <del>Iroha Tamaki in Magia Record - Sweet Beanie</del>
** Iroha Tamaki in Magia Exedra - Sweet Beanie

And then after the sub-pages are consolidated, then all of Iroha is done. There also needs to be someone who just fixes up the main character's page, but only after the alts are integrated in there. When that also happens we can do the del tag like I did with record. In the example I showed, I finished Record Iroha and am planning on doing Exedra Iroha next. If I haven't even started by Sunday, or whenever it is that someone else feels like is a long enough time, someone can just put their name there and get to it.

For this we can have a few stages with lists to keep up the quality for every character. Like we can have:
# to be selected (the pool of unselected articles)
# in development (someone puts their name here next to the moved page name, articles shouldn't be listed here without someone's username next to it)
# integrated into main article (for the alts mostly, some unimportant characters like Rion can staright up skip this cuz they only have the one unit in one game, but this can also be used for alt outfits and such)
# quality assurance (just final check, or we put an article here if someone else feels like they're done with it but you feel like it still needs work)
# done

As for the Shizuka Mockup, I can see that her New Years alt isn't there. I think that's a missed opportunity to not have a hundred pages with minimal information on them. It would easily fit below the "In Magia Record" section and the same goes for Kioku alts like say Hallowen Mami. But if we decide against it, we should list the alts in the main pages at least and leave those versions solely for gameplay stuff, since there are alts with different powers and stuff but who only appear once. I think that details like story stuff and different powers should be kept in the main character page regardless.

I also suggest that for characters with heavy symbolism like Pernelle, we can have the "Observations" (or whatever title we wanna use for that section) right above trivia, or below history. However that section may now be the Notes part so that may be unnecessary to begin with.

I hope this is coherent.

Okay first of all, we're not working on the '''X in Magia Record''' and '''X in Magia Exedra''' pages at all, we're planning to delete them/make them redirects. This is why all the units are on the mockup already, the list will only consist of the main pages of characters.

I agree with (and like) the list idea, should it be a table or just a normal list? A table would be easier to keep control of in my opinion.

Also... I should have asked this before, but should we focus on actually filling the pages with info, or just leave them as stubs, cause I know it would be best to just straight up finish them, but I don't know a lot of characters' personalities and powers, so i fear I would only format the pages but not actually write the things :(

<blockquote>I also suggest that for characters with heavy symbolism like Pernelle, we can have the "Observations"</blockquote>
A problem I think someone called out before, is that Observations and Trivia are mistaken for eachother (I know Im guilty of this too). I don't really know what Observations are? (as dumb as it sound), they just seem like assumptions, that might aswell be considered speculation at times. Sometimes its just analyses, which seems useful enough, and I think that makes it deserve its own section? Trivia is supposed to be ''facts'', so things like analyses do deserve their own section imo too.

<blockquote>Maybe making the tabs colored to match the uni/alt colors would be nice</blockquote>
I don't really know what the units colors would be? A lot of units would probably repeat colors and just end up not making a big difference, I dont think we should do this.

Oh yeah, you mentioned this in the observations part, but what are Notes gonna be? I was thinking they're Notes like how [[Nighthawk]] has a note about the wiki using they/them, or how [[Crépuscule de La Reine]] has a note about the wiki using that page name for her, even when her name is actually Isabeau. So more so notes about the wiki's handling of characters than anything in universe (this is a question mostly to Celtic).

I guess having the symbolism stuff in Trivia is an option.

Specifically I said to have alt colors for the tabs because I missed them the first few times. I imagine a lot of people would read an article and miss it entirely in the same way. Frankly I think the wiki could use some more styling in general, but that's just me

I think the notes would be for things like Tart vs Darc, or Nighthawk's and A-Q's pronouns, but yeah most characters won't have any at all.

I VERY MUCH agree that the wiki could use more styling (that's why I made the infoboxes have colors specific to the character). The problem is, tabbers are really annoying to work with, they dont accept ANY code into the tab titles (it will always convert it to pure text as if you used nowiki on it). So I'm pretty sure this is impossible T-T. I'm not sure if there's a way to update/upgrade the tabber extension to allow styling, but for now I don't see a real way to do that.

What…? There's plenty of leeway to apply styling to the tabs without needing to put markup in the tabber. Sure, it's unfortunate that that's not supported, but it's not needed for simple styling.

The way to do it would be something like this:

<pre>
<templatestyles src="WitchTabs.css" />
<div class="something">
<tabber>
|-| Whatever =
Content
</tabber>
</div>
</pre>

Then on the page Template:WitchTabs.css, add code similar to the following:

<pre>
.something > .tabber__tab {
put style rules here
}
</pre>

I completelly forgot about this sorry T_T. But thank you for bringing my hope back, I still don't really know ''what'' colors the unit names could have? (and how the template would even get them). I did have an idea of my own, but I know little about css and I'm not sure how possible it is. The idea was that the tabs would be little boxes, with not only the full name of the units (cause right now they're shortened) but also card images as the box's backgrounds?

These are my (poorly made) prototypes to what I have in mind:

<div style='border: solid 1.5px light-dark(black, white); height:75px; width:200px; display:inline-block; overflow:hidden; text-align:center; position:relative;border-radius:35px;'><div style="opacity:0.6;position:relative;z-index:-1;bottom:30px;">[[File:Gtm487fe9hn51.png|200px]]</div><div style="position:relative;bottom:300px;font-size:20px">'''Shizuka Tokime'''</div></div>
<div style='border: solid 1.5px light-dark(black, white); height:75px; width:200px; display:inline-block; overflow:hidden; text-align:center; position:relative;border-radius:35px;'><div style="opacity:0.6;position:relative;z-index:-1;bottom:50px;">[[File:Card 11254 c.png|200px]]</div><div style="position:relative;bottom:300px;font-size:20px">'''Shizuka Tokime (First Sunrise)'''</div></div>

The problem with this system is that I have no idea how in the world the template would get the correct Card image, and how it would position it correctly (cause the examples I made are uniquely positioned). The only way I can think of making this, is having a template that would just be endless <nowiki>{{#switch}}</nowiki>'es that would have to be manually set for the card images and the positions. That's why I kinda think it's a bad idea T-T.

I think in the same way that Witches have their own colors for their new "cards," we can just attribute unit colors so that they can be different from each other. Let's say Iroha:
* Standard - can remain colorless, since that's where we start out at, but alternatively it can just be the color of the girl's hair.
* Swimsuit - Light blue
* x Yachiyo - yachiyo blue
* x Ui - muted or light ui pink
* x Kuroe - Kuroe purple
* Anime - Iroha pink, or a darker tone because of the doppel.
* Infinite - Yellow/"gold"

It's not meant for official purposes, but just for the units to be differentiated from each other. The same way we all just kinda decided to have the new witch cards have the colors that they do, we will decide on the unit colors we decide on.

Even if it isn't done, I don't think it's important ulitmately, compared to the organization of info.

Most of what you did there is probably doable, but I suspect putting an image background might be too much for pure CSS. It is certainly possible to use images as backgrounds in CSS, but I ''think'' that may not work properly in MediaWiki (I think I tried it before) when the image is a file asset uploaded to the wiki; even if it ''does'' work, it would break the "What links here?" mechanism (the link wouldn't be counted, so if the image is ever deleted, it could go unnoticed for quite awhile).

~ [[User:Celtic Minstrel|Celtic Minstrel]] ([[User talk:Celtic Minstrel|talk]]) 13:06, 7 May 2026 (UTC)

----

Yeah I fear my idea was too complicated anyway, could you try out Sweet Beanie's idea? The problem I see, is how the template would even ''know'' which colors to give what unit...

- [[User:TheresaFrog421|TheresaFrog421]] ([[User talk:TheresaFrog421|talk]]) 08:44, 8 May 2026 (UTC)

----

Any approach that gives each tab a different style is going to be tricky. You ''could'' do it using <code>:nth-child</code> selectors, but that means every page needs its own template stylesheet, which to me seems like a huge pain (though you could still put most of the CSS in a common stylesheet and only the colours in each page's own stylesheet). I'd recommend instead thinking of something where all the tabs are uniformly styled.

But if you're really, really attached to the idea of each unit having its own tab colour, I can give it a shot on one page as an example. Let me know (and preferably, suggest a page to use).

~ [[User:Celtic Minstrel|Celtic Minstrel]] ([[User talk:Celtic Minstrel|talk]]) 12:46, 8 May 2026 (UTC)

----

We can use pre-determined colors so that each page can use them. Maybe the six colors of the rainbow, then gray or something, or they just repeat. Or we could use the colors of the Holy Quintet to make them more iconic. Then we can repeat them or continue with Nagisa, Mabayu, Selma, Choka and the unnamed Kaiten Girl. That's just what I'd do. So it'd be pink, purple, yellow, blue, red, nagisa color, indigo, orange, green, kaiten girl color.

~ [[User:Sweet Beanie|Sweet Beanie]] ([[User talk:Sweet Beanie|talk]]) 16:21, 8 May 2026 (UTC)

----

I would choose the rainbow colors instead of the Holy Quintet ones, because yeah they're iconic, but I don't think they really make sense here?

Also I got another idea (T-T), maybe the template could take the tab name (so the unit name) and get the unit's icon by its name, then put it into that tab. It would basically look like this: <nowiki>[[File:{Unit name}_MR_Icon.png|100px]]</nowiki>. The Icon would appear above the name (probably shortened name). Again, I'm not sure how possible/annoying this is, just a suggestion 0.0

(Forgot to add something, if we make a page for Units and a page for Kioku, Icons would be needed anyway. Obviously we already have all Record icons, but they have frames that I don't like T_T)

- [[User:TheresaFrog421|TheresaFrog421]] ([[User talk:TheresaFrog421|talk]]) 18:57, 8 May 2026 (UTC)

Using a fixed set of colours is easy. Anything that requires differing setup per-page (like the icons you mentioned) would be a bit of a pain.

~ [[User:Celtic Minstrel|Celtic Minstrel]] ([[User talk:Celtic Minstrel|talk]]) 03:25, 9 May 2026 (UTC)

----

Could you try both? Like write both options on one css page, then take the code of [[Template:Magia Record Game Info]] and apply the css maybe on the project page? (Or your Sandbox page). I suggest just doing it for Iroha, she has every type of unit. I still think icon idea is a good one, so I dont want to just let it go.

- [[User:TheresaFrog421|TheresaFrog421]] ([[User talk:TheresaFrog421|talk]]) 14:04, 9 May 2026 (UTC)

I threw together a quick sample at [[User:Celtic Minstrel/Sandbox/TabStyling]]. After a bit of thought though, I think the icons probably can't be done in pure CSS the current software (unless they're uploaded independently of the wiki on the same hosting, like the fonts are, but that seems like a terrible idea).

~ [[User:Celtic Minstrel|Celtic Minstrel]] ([[User talk:Celtic Minstrel|talk]]) 17:13, 9 May 2026 (UTC)

I did manage to get the concept of the second version working, with the underline colours (it's very hard to see though because the Sanitized CSS model doesn't support setting the underline thickness, which is really annoying). If you wanted per-page customization, that would be the approach; but using icons or any sort of images for it probably isn't viable in the current software.

~ [[User:Celtic Minstrel|Celtic Minstrel]] ([[User talk:Celtic Minstrel|talk]]) 17:27, 9 May 2026 (UTC)

Okay I'll have to abandon the icons idea :‹. But I think I do like the colors idea way more now that I see an example, just not the rainbow part... Obviously the colors were quickly chosen just for the test and will be less saturated, but I do NOT like the look of the rainbow here T-T. It reminds me very much of how kids books overuse rainbows everywhere in them, it looks very tacky. My best suggestion for the colors is the gradient from the MagiReco logo, the one on Iroha.

Yes, I spent absolutely no time on choosing colours – I just selected named colours that roughly correspond to the rainbow. Of course, for the real thing we'd carefully choose each colour, and as you say they'd be much less saturated. The rainbow might still work with less saturated colours – I'm not sure.

Basing it on that blue to pink to yellow/orange gradient doesn't seem like a terrible idea, but I don't know if you'd get enough different colours out of that? It's up to whoever does it though.

~ [[User:Celtic Minstrel|Celtic Minstrel]] ([[User talk:Celtic Minstrel|talk]]) 17:46, 9 May 2026 (UTC)

Okay I got colors that I honestly like:

{| style='text-align:center;'
|width=100px height=100px style='background:rgba(118, 206, 240, 0.5);'| #76cef0 rgba(118, 206, 240, 0.5)
|width=100px height=100px style='background:rgba(123, 174, 236, 0.5);'| #7baeec rgba(123, 174, 236, 0.5)
|width=100px height=100px style='background:rgba(169, 154, 233, 0.5);'| #a99ae9 rgba(169, 154, 233, 0.5)
|width=100px height=100px style='background:rgba(235, 149, 212, 0.5);'| #eb95d4 rgba(235, 149, 212, 0.5)
|width=100px height=100px style='background:rgba(246, 141, 186, 0.5);'| #f68dba rgba(246, 141, 186, 0.5)
|width=100px height=100px style='background:rgba(250, 171, 139, 0.5);'| #faab8b rgba(250, 171, 139, 0.5)
|width=100px height=100px style='background:rgba(250, 199, 104, 0.5);'| #fac768 rgba(250, 199, 104, 0.5)
|}

They are taken from the image, but more satured. I think they're really nice but I do think the second and fifth color are quite boring. - [[User:TheresaFrog421|TheresaFrog421]] ([[User talk:TheresaFrog421|talk]]) 18:12, 9 May 2026 (UTC)

I made some alternatives, removing the boring colors. I also continued them until they circle back to the starting color so theoretically they could continue ad infinitum:

{| style='text-align:center;'
|width=100px height=100px style='background:rgba(118, 206, 240, 0.5);'| #76cef0 rgba(118, 206, 240, 0.5)
|width=100px height=100px style='background:rgba(169, 154, 233, 0.5);'| #a99ae9 rgba(169, 154, 233, 0.5)
|width=100px height=100px style='background:rgba(235, 149, 212, 0.5);'| #eb95d4 rgba(235, 149, 212, 0.5)
|width=100px height=100px style='background:rgba(250, 171, 139, 0.5);'| #faab8b rgba(250, 171, 139, 0.5)
|width=100px height=100px style='background:rgba(250, 199, 104, 0.5);'| #fac768 rgba(250, 199, 104, 0.5)
|width=100px height=100px style='background:rgba(210, 235, 122, 0.5);'| #d2eb7a rgba(210, 235, 122, 0.5)
|width=100px height=100px style='background:rgba(147, 236, 147, 0.5);'| #93ec93 rgba(147, 236, 147, 0.5)
|width=100px height=100px style='background:rgba(147, 236, 214, 0.5);'| #93ecd6 rgba(147, 236, 214, 0.5)
|width=100px height=100px style='background:rgba(147, 236, 236, 0.5);'| #93ecec rgba(147, 236, 236, 0.5)
|width=100px height=100px style='background:rgba(118, 206, 240, 0.5);'| #76cef0 rgba(118, 206, 240, 0.5)
|}

Alternative:

{| style='text-align:center;'
|width=100px height=100px style='background:rgba(118, 206, 240, 0.5);'| #76cef0 rgba(118, 206, 240, 0.5)
|width=100px height=100px style='background:rgba(169, 154, 233, 0.5);'| #a99ae9 rgba(169, 154, 233, 0.5)
|width=100px height=100px style='background:rgba(235, 149, 212, 0.5);'| #eb95d4 rgba(235, 149, 212, 0.5)
|width=100px height=100px style='background:rgba(250, 171, 139, 0.5);'| #faab8b rgba(250, 171, 139, 0.5)
|width=100px height=100px style='background:rgba(250, 199, 104, 0.5);'| #fac768 rgba(250, 199, 104, 0.5)
|width=100px height=100px style='background:rgba(254, 237, 122, 0.5);'| #feed7a rgba(254, 237, 122, 0.5)
|width=100px height=100px style='background:rgba(147, 236, 147, 0.5);'| #93ec93 rgba(147, 236, 147, 0.5)
|width=100px height=100px style='background:rgba(138, 229, 217, 0.5);'| #8ae5d9 rgba(138, 229, 217, 0.5)
|width=100px height=100px style='background:rgba(118, 206, 240, 0.5);'| #76cef0 rgba(118, 206, 240, 0.5)
|}

Since the text is blue, I also made a version without blues:

{| style='text-align:center;'
|width=100px height=100px style='background:rgba(169, 154, 233, 0.5);'| #a99ae9 rgba(169, 154, 233, 0.5)

|width=100px height=100px style='background:rgba(250, 171, 139, 0.5);'| #faab8b rgba(250, 171, 139, 0.5)
|width=100px height=100px style='background:rgba(250, 199, 104, 0.5);'| #fac768 rgba(250, 199, 104, 0.5)

I agree, I think the second set is the best. I think we're ready to port this into the actual template? I was thinking of making different colors for the Exedra template (when my suggestion was using the Magireco logo colors), but since these colors stray away from that idea anyway I think it would be okay if we used them for the Exedra template too. Also I think it would be better if the tabs didn't have borders? Like just the color would look better in my opinion.

Not really on topic, but also kinda? I really do wish this wiki had WAY more styling, because wdym we don't have a logo or an icon. Like the "icon" we do have is just a '''P''' on my laptop because of the site name (for some reason the page [[Kuro (くろ)]] shows an Iroha icon that Ive never seen on any other page tho????). Also I wish we had a "theme"? Like a background and stuff like that, I know the Exedra wiki has that, but they use Vector (2022) as their main skin, and we use Vector legacy (I use 2022). For example the [https://stardewvalleywiki.com/Stardew_Valley_Wiki Stardew Valley wiki] has a great look, and it looks like its in Vector legacy, I don't know if this is an extension or what, cause I haven't looked into it yet, but I do think this is something we should atleast consider doing.

I'm not completely sure (I think you might need to be logged in to see? Unless it can be determined from the developer console), but it looks like Stardew Valley is just using the Monobook theme.

Short of coding an entirely new theme, most customization to the MediaWiki theming is done by editing [[MediaWiki:Common.css]]. Since you don't have permission to edit that, however, you can experiment by creating a Common.css file in your user space, for example [[User:TheresaFrog421/Common.css]]. Once you get something you like, you can propose it to be moved to the main commons file. It's also possible to add rules that only apply to specific skins by creating pages like Monobook.css or Vector.css, if that seems necessary. (This works both in user space and global space.)

As for the wiki logo, I can agree this one's kind of lacklustre, but I don't really have any alternate suggestions. I think only [[User:0x99]] can change the logo.

We're really close to starting, the only big thing left to do is to move trivia from the Magireco and Exedra pages to the main character pages. Could someone start doing that?

Also one thing I want to know, should the History sections be formatted like the current Timeline articles? As in it follows the character's story chronologically instead of when each story were released. I think this would be cleaner, but could be annoying (in cases like Oriko Magica where its a weirdly placed timeline).

- [[User:TheresaFrog421|TheresaFrog421]] ([[User talk:TheresaFrog421|talk]]) 12:58, 9 July 2026 (UTC)

: I'd vote against it since that format is meant to be filled with less detail and would overall just look ugly in my opinion, especially since characters like Iroha have a lot of information. Yu and Sudachi's pages are pretty much finished and filled with the normal text format so I think we can continue from there. I propose not naming each Magia Record event with a header and to also just begin paragraphs with "In [[Magia Record - Last Bird's Hope]], ..." If the timelines are different, we can make a header for each one. For Oriko it would just be an extra header for Extra Story since Oriko Magica and Sadness Prayer tell the same story (one just has more scenes and better art). ~ [[User:Sweet Beanie|Sweet Beanie]] ([[User talk:Sweet Beanie|talk]]) 13:15, 9 July 2026 (UTC)

If the history sections will be formatted as "In {media}" should we change the Game sections to not have the "In" in them?

==History==
===In Magia Record===

Generally, a page shouldn't have empty sections. I suppose you could set it to review when there are empty sections, but it should not be set to done with empty sections.

Sorry for digging up this topic, but I sort of wonder if a transcript would cross the acceptable use line into an actual copyright infringement. The sad fact here is that I'm physically located in Japan, and there's use law here. There has been a case where a company successfully sued people for posting transcripts online (e.g. [https://www.watch.impress.co.jp/docs/news/1635590.html this Kadokawa's case], although another news source mentioned that this was due to [https://www.itmedia.co.jp/news/articles/2411/12/news134.html the owners profiting from it]). From this perspective, a summary or a synopsis is more preferable. (I appreciated the effort to put up the transcript, but I want to make sure the wiki stays clear of possible legal issues.)

Looking around in other Japanese wiki websites for social games, most of them use cards, event illustrations, and character sprites from the game, so I guess this is as far as acceptable use goes. (Since we're on this topic, we probably should review all the scanned material stuff in this wiki as well. A few pages or a snippet of a page is probably fine, but an entire scan may be a bit too much...)

:I had been wondering about that too. The game is free to play, and we're not profiting from it, and having access to the transcripts can be quite useful; so I do hope it's not a problem. But I can definitely understand the concern.
:And when it comes to scanned pages, I really think it's better to just cut out any images and upload them separately, similar to what I did with the anime guidebook scan [[Mikazuki_Villa#Other|here]] (I would've deleted the original scan, but figured some of the text that didn't make it into the crops may be worth translating first). If the page is entirely text, I don't think it should be uploaded at all (there may or may not be an argument for posting a transcription of the text, but posting the scan as an image is just silly). ~ [[User:Celtic Minstrel|Celtic Minstrel]] ([[User talk:Celtic Minstrel|talk]]) 19:13, 4 December 2025 (UTC)
::: Yeah, I think only cutting the relevant part is the safest way for scans.

== Monster Pages ==

I was planning on starting this topic later, but I'm impatient and wanna get opinions on this - I think "Monster" pages should look way more similar to our planned character pages and use the same infobox. Last year I created [[Template:Witch Card]] which was because of complaints about [[Template:Card]], and while I like the template, I don't like a lot of parts that come with it. For example I don't like how pages like [[Kriemhild Fausut]] and [[Paola]] have (imo) worse images at the front just because of how we make the pages look (the whole appearances/descriptions divide).

So in my opinion, when we start changing the character pages, we should change those pages too. I have a conceptual infobox on my [[User:TheresaFrog421/Sandbox|sandbox page]], so please take a look before just rejecting the idea. Also sections like ''Appearance'' and ''Personality and Traits'' would be really good for Witch pages.

Now obviously there are a lot of issues that come with this too.

* '''Descriptions'''
The descriptions would definitely not go into the infobox, for obvious reasons. I think it would be easy to make a collapsible template (or just a plain table) that would easily store them.

* '''Familiars'''
This is a bigger issue, and Im not fully sure how to approach it. Right now my plan is to keep them as a part of the Witch's page, but have them be way more detached than they are right now, with their own sections and infobox. Im worried this would look very messy, but thats my solution for now. They would only have their own ''Appearance'', ''Personality and Traits'' and (maybe) ''Powers and Abilities'' sections, as the others would be better if they were general.

This is an even bigger change than last year with the Witch Card, so please let me know what you think. I'd rather have this idea be shut down than ignored. - [[User:TheresaFrog421|TheresaFrog421]] ([[User talk:TheresaFrog421|talk]]) 17:15, 17 April 2026 (UTC)

I forgot one more issue -
* '''Multiple forms'''
I can't deny that the current look supports multiple forms of a Witch way better than my proposed one will, but my solution to this would be just putting the images in a tabber tag. What forms count towards this is imo something for discussion, cause for Homulilly I wouldnt put the first form of the Nutcracker Witch into the Infobox (only second form and the og witch from portable) but I would put both forms of Charlotte. Also would the less serious forms count into this, like Patricia's Excercise Witch or the Christmas Gertrud.

- [[User:TheresaFrog421|TheresaFrog421]] ([[User talk:TheresaFrog421|talk]]) 19:41, 17 April 2026 (UTC)

----

I can't say I'm overly a fan of this idea. At first, when I saw your sample, it seemed mostly neutral (but I was still more attached to the status quo). But once you noted the "Multiple Forms" issue, I realized that the infobox is just too small to handle that well. I don't understand why you'd exclude the first form of Homolilly?

Incidentally, for what you call "less serious" forms, in my opinion they're best treated as entirely separate witches that just happen to resemble the base witch. Maybe they don't deserve a page of their own; but a separate section at the bottom of Gertrud's page for "non-canon variants" or whatever you want to call them could be good.

I don't have an issue with adding ''Personality'' or ''Appearance'' sections to witch pages though.

~ [[User:Celtic Minstrel|Celtic Minstrel]] ([[User talk:Celtic Minstrel|talk]]) 17:08, 18 April 2026 (UTC)

----

You're right about the multiple forms problem, as its the worst one here, but I still think basing the way we treat Witches/Monsters by how many descriptions they have feels wrong... I guess this is a personal opinion, but the more I spend time with the current template the more I dislike it, its kinda uncontrolable (like squishing Candy's page makes her weirdly move), the backgrounds can be a problem (imo Shin and Zenobia blend too much into their backgrounds), and overall why do only Monsters get Appearances in their infobox? Like I said originally, I made the template, so I know Im complaining mostly about things I created, but I did highly base it off of the older template/the way the cards were being created, and obviously those were flawed too. I know there are 100% other ways to fix the things Im complaining about, but in my opinion, it would be so much more cleaner to use similar infoboxes to characters (obv with some different parameters). Again, the forms are a big issue, but its not like human characters dont have this issue too? The Holy Quintet all got redesigns for the new movie, and I was thinking that those should go into their infoboxes too once (or if) we get clean renders. I genuinely just think that there's too many issues with the current template and I think the infobox is the way to fix them, Im open for different (and maybe better) suggestion, but I really wanna sort this out.

:I forgot about Homulilly, what I meant was, that basically I would only put 2 images into the infobox, titled ''Mortal World Witch'' and ''Nutcracker Witch'', with only showing one form of the Nutcracker Witch. It is more correct to put both there, but I was thinking of being more minimalistic with it, right now I'm kinda conflicted with it...

- [[User:TheresaFrog421|TheresaFrog421]] ([[User talk:TheresaFrog421|talk]]) 17:37, 18 April 2026 (UTC)

----

Y'all please don't ignore this (not only adressing Celtic), I genuinely think the Witch/Monster pages need cleaning up. I mean Ai has a list of voice actors, but since she doesnt use the character infobox it has to be in trivia, which I think is ridiculous, the same goes for Izabel (/Michaela) and Bebe. In my opinion the way we treat the Monster pages fits for a wiki like the Magireco wiki or Exedra wiki, but in our case the Monsters arent just enemies, I mean Ai could have a full infobox, but since we dont treat her like we do with humans, she’s stuck with the template that stores less information. I mean the only thing that separates Ai and Sakurako is how they’re treated in Gameplay of Record and Exedra, so why does that affect how we treat her (and every other monster).

Back to the forms, I was thinking of ways to keep the infobox idea and separate the forms properly… I was thinking of splitting the pages if the Witches were distinct enough (So Kriemhild Gretchen would be split to Salvation and Despair, Homulilly to Mortal World and Nutcracker), but that would mean Shitori Egumo would be split too, which feels wrong? I dont think its the best idea, but its an idea. Like on my sandbox page, I would just put them in one infobox under tabbers.

Again this is an issue that could be fixed a different way, without using the same infoboxes as humans. - [[User:TheresaFrog421|TheresaFrog421]] ([[User talk:TheresaFrog421|talk]]) 13:50, 24 April 2026 (UTC)

Well, there's no reason we couldn't add an infobox for Ai and Sakurako (maybe even the default character infobox), but how does that extend to redoing ''all'' the witch/monster pages? Most of them aren't really characters, just faceless enemies. ~ [[User:Celtic Minstrel|Celtic Minstrel]] ([[User talk:Celtic Minstrel|talk]]) 17:44, 24 April 2026 (UTC)

----

I just don't think we should separate them that much. Most Witches have a personality, and a lot have a story and importance, I wouldn't really NOT call them characters. Now I do understand some parts where we dont "count" them as characters (like them not being under [[:Category:Characters]]), but like I said before, we're not a wiki where ''their role'' is an enemy. I understand why the Magireco wiki uses that look for their Witch pages ([https://magireco.fandom.com/wiki/Rebecca example]), because in the Game Magia Record, they're just an enemy. That wiki doesn't care about them as characters because theyre just enemies, but we're not a game wiki, so I don't really see how them being enemies in the story doesnt make them enough of characters to have a completely different infobox look.

== Todo List ==

Some comments on the new todo list…

* For Phase 2's "Delete the Meme Pages" I'd argue that it's already handled by the Community namespace, so we can remove that.
* Instead of "Category:Cleanup Needed" I think it should use a dedicated category, like "Category:Wiki Cleanup Project".
* The style guide would go in the "Project" namespace, or possibly the "Help" namespace.
* Phase 3 step 1 says "we all know the ones". That's an incorrect assumption. You can't assume everyone knows everything. This step may involve extensive discussion.
* I think it's reasonable to use the speculation box on the same page, but we should at least make sure there isn't any speculation outside of a speculation box (with the possible exception of very, very obvious logical deductions, but even then, be very careful, because what's obvious to one person may not be obvious to another).
* Why are Magia Record and Magia Exedra treated so differently in phase 5?
* If Magia Record Characters is going to lose its unit focus, I think there should be a new Magia Record Units page which is almost exactly what Characters is now (but omit the minor characters, which don't have units, and possibly the enemies, which likewise don't have units). The same could go for Magia Exedra Characters.

What's the reason for all of this? I don't think there's any reason why the infobox couldn't support all of those same parameters with the same meanings, and it would make the migration much easier if it did.

Regarding origin/residence, I'd argue there's merit in keeping both. They're often the same, but sometimes they're different.

~ [[User:Celtic Minstrel|Celtic Minstrel]] ([[User talk:Celtic Minstrel|talk]]) 19:47, 4 May 2026 (UTC)

I'll respond to the things I directly changed/added:

<blockquote>Why are Magia Record and Magia Exedra treated so differently in phase 5?</blockquote>

Well, because they don't work the same, if you mean the redirects, then thats just because of how Magia Record characters ARE units, while Magia Exedra characters arent units directly, they just have units. I don't see anything wrong with making them link to the character's first Kioku though. For every other point about the games in phase 5, its just because of how the Templates work/were made.

<blockquote>If Magia Record Characters is going to lose its unit focus, I think there should be a new Magia Record Units page</blockquote>

I agree, but there's a few issues. If it went into '''Magia Record Units''', all the unit pages would be subpages of it, and would have a link at the top of their page, which I think would be very ugly... This could be fixed if we maybe moved the unit pages to a ''namespace'' called "Magia Record Unit"? (obviously we'd have to do the same thing for Kioku). Also what about [[Magia Exedra Characters]] already displaying Kioku? I know it doesnt go into details but still.

As for everything in your second message (I dont want to put all that into a blockquote T-T).

It's just for easier use, right now in the new infobox, the age parameter's content doesn't link to the ''Characters by age'' pages, rather the first cell of the row does, I did this because of one character - [[Yuma (Mami Tomoe's Mundane Everyday Life)]], her age directly changes in the manga (like you can see on her [[Talk:Yuma (Mami Tomoe's Mundane Everyday Life)|talk page]]), this doesn't happen often (this might be the only character we know this happens to lol) but we should accommodate the template for that, that's why I just fused all the age parameters into one (well, all but agepage).

I just kinda did the same thing for the Witch parameters, the difference from age is that this parameter needs to link, but I think that just makes the parameter simpler. There is a problem with the Doppel though, cause it wouldnt support a note the same way the '''Character Details''' does... (I was thinking of maybe making it that so you can still add a note if you put the doppel name into square parenthesis and the template would somehow detect the name and separate it, the same way ''Magia Exedra Stats'' does it, but I havent looked into it and have no idea how it even works).

For the origin thing, its just that I dont really understand why someone would care about the characters hometown and not where they live currently, not like every page listens to that anyway (Iroha has Kamihama listed in there), changing the parameter would just keep it easier to see, and I don't think it's that hard to do.

<blockquote>Well, because they don't work the same, if you mean the redirects, then thats just because of how Magia Record characters ARE units, while Magia Exedra characters arent units directly, they just have units.</blockquote>
This doesn't make any sense whatsoever. I don't see any reasonable evidence for the claim that "Magia Record characters ARE units". There are clearly multiple units for the same character. I think I'd say that X in Magia Record should generally redirect to the character page, but X (Variant) could redirect to the unit page, and in some cases where there's more than one X in Magia Record for the same character (Homura mainly), perhaps those could point at the unit page too.

Making X in Magia Record redirect to the unit page isn't the ''worst'' thing to do, but in that case, it's still weird that X in Magia Exedra doesn't do the same.

There's also the option to just delete all the X in Magia Record and X in Magia Exedra pages. They're not really needed even as redirects in this system, right? The only reason to keep them would be to avoid link rot, but I bet there aren't that many places linking directly to them, so maybe those places can just be updated and the pages can be removed.

<blockquote>If it went into '''Magia Record Units''', all the unit pages would be subpages of it</blockquote>
Huh? Why? I mean, that certainly could be done, but it's not a given. Is there a reason for it? Your phrasing makes it sound like you think it ''shouldn't'' be done, so why are you assuming we'd have to do something you think is bad? I don't see what namespaces have to do with this, either.

<blockquote>It's just for easier use, right now in the new infobox, the age parameter's content doesn't link to the ''Characters by age'' pages, rather the first cell of the row doe…</blockquote>
I don't understand. This all seems tangential to the actual question… what, exactly, does fusing them make easier? Not fusing makes it easier to maintain a consistent style for notes. Fusing them makes this harder. Based on that it seems like fusing them isn't a good option, but maybe it brings something else to make up for that – what is that something else?

The same goes for the witch parameters. I don't understand how the change is an improvement. (I will admit that the witch parameters are quite weird though, so I'm open to some sort of change; just not sure that this is the one.)

<blockquote>There's also the option to just delete all the X in Magia Record and X in Magia Exedra pages. They're not really needed even as redirects in this system, right?</blockquote>

I was gonna argue about how they are still units and all, but I do fully agree with this. I know having redirects is useful, but I don't like redirects that are exist because of a previous way of handling things. We already have redirects that I think should just be wiped like the old Kioku pages (ex: [[Kush Irina in Magia Exedra/Seraphic Trial]]).

<blockquote>Huh? Why? I mean, that certainly could be done, but it's not a given. Is there a reason for it?

Okay I'll try to be more clear? I meant that if the page that collects all units like characters goes directly under the name '''Magia Record Units''', then all the separate unit pages would be that page's children, because they're all named '''Magia Record Units/{Unit name}'''. This would create a link on the unit pages back to '''Magia Record Units''', which like I said, wouldnt be good. The thing is, I don't think any other name for that page makes sense, that's why I suggested the custom namespace for the unit pages. I honestly would like to move them to a separate namespace, if I made it seem like I don't want to do it then I did something wrong cause I think its a good idea T-T. I'm not fully sure how custom namespaces even work, from what I remember they just kinda do nothing but help separate pages from the "main ones", and I think that would be a good thing for the unit pages (Obviously everything I just said also applies to Exedra and Kioku).

<blockquote>what, exactly, does fusing them make easier?</blockquote>

I understand ''why'' we let the templates do the formatting at times, like the Infobox I made separates '''name_en''', '''name_jp''' and '''name_romaji''', when in theory (and by the logic I apply to '''age''' and '''witch''') they could be one parameter with the Nihongo template being made by the user directly on a page... but obviously that's not the case, because that just makes it more annoying and unnecessarily complex, when a template is supposed to make things like this easy. So... why do I think this logic DOES apply to '''age''' and '''witch'''? Because its just... text, for witch, we already link a lot of stuff in the infobox like relatives and places, whats the point of forcing the Witch parameters to be so weird, where instead of:
<pre>
|witch=Yes
|witchlink=Maybe
|witchnote=No
</pre>
We can just have:
<pre>
|witch=[[Maybe|Yes]] (No)
</pre>
Is it an opinion that this is better??? Because I think it is, it allows way more flexibility in what's written there, and while I know that this might mean that more mistakes will happen, like someone not linking to the witch page correctly, but its still way more flexible and controllable. All of this applies to '''age''' too but it's not the exact same, what I meant by:

<blockquote>right now in the new infobox, the age parameter's content doesn't link to the ''Characters by age'' pages, rather the first cell of the row does</blockquote>

In ''Character Details'' the age is either forced to be a single number, or it's not counted as an exact age. I fused it to just be way more flexible too, because (like I said) there are characters that change ages, and no I don't think we should just type one of them as the main one and the other as a note, that's limiting ourself for no reason. I know that the direct age helped to link to the ''Character by age'' page sections, and while I think that's good, there's no point in limiting ourselves just for something that's not that important. Again, the Doppel parameter does really complicate things, but I fear we first need to discuss this before we get to that.

If things still sound confusing or I missed something Im sorry T-T

Okay, so I think I get what you meant with the Magia Record Units thing. You're assuming that the Magia Record units will be handled identically to the Magia Exedra units, where all units fall under one subpage. But then you say it would be bad for the unit page to link back to the list of units? Why would that be bad? Actually, it would probably be good if [[Magia Exedra Kioku]] also had a list of all units.

As for the age/witch question…

<blockquote>it allows way more flexibility in what's written there</blockquote>
Well, keep in mind that part of the point in doing it the other way is to ''remove'' flexibility, in favour of keeping the format consistent. So saying it allows more flexibility isn't really an argument in and of itself. Do you have reasons why you think the witch info needs more flexibility? I think you did give at least one reason for the age info…

<blockquote>there are characters that change ages, and no I don't think we should just type one of them as the main one and the other as a note</blockquote>
I'm not really sure what you mean by "change ages"? Magia Record/Exedra (in general) doesn't really have a progression of time – the girls don't age. Even if they did, it would seem a bit weird to give multiple ages in that case. And if you're talking about Yuma, the MTEL version is arguably a separate character who shares the same name. Or, do you mean that they might be a different age in other works? For example, you want to give Mami's age in MTEL or Different Story (1 year younger), or Yachiyo's age in Beginning Story (is that the right title?) or Crescent Memoria, etc.

Still, even if we need it to be more flexible, that doesn't necessarily mean we need to make it completely freeform.

I do agree that the witch/doppel situation is weird. The doppel parameter presumes the existence of a specific section on the page, after all.

The unit pages already have links on the top, to add another one would just be ugly. Do characters have a link at the top back to their character pages? no. Do Episodes have a link at the top back to their anime? no. This seems useless and would just disrupt the look of the pages in my opinion.

For ages - the MTEL Yuma is a different version, yes, but that's not important, in MTEL Yuma directly ages, she goes from 5 to 6, and I think that should be noted in the infobox like:
<pre>
5 (chapters # - #)
6 (chapter # onwards)
</pre>
I do agree that giving all ages to characters might be too much? Like with Yachiyo, I would 100% put both 12 and 19 in her infobox (because they're the most important), but I dont think we should put the other ages, at most for Crescent Memoria (which happens like 1/2 years before the main story right?). Obviously putting things like:
<pre>
1 (Opening scene #1)
4 (Opening scene #2)
6 (Opening scene #3)
14 (Madoka Magica)
</pre>
Is... no, but if the aging happens DURING the story like with Yuma, or we have stories with characters with known different ages (I think by that logic Breakpoint would count for Yachiyo and Mifuyu too), then yes, I believe they should be put into the infobox.

About the flexibility, yes that's what I meant with my "name argument", that the names aren't that flexible, but I think age and witch should be. Age and Witch in my opinion just have too many parameters, making any age that isnt a direct number use <code>approxage</code> just doesn't really make sense to me. Yes, uniformity is something we NEED, its a part of the wiki's big problems, but I dont think this would ruin it?? Most parameters ARE freeform already, and that's what makes the infobox comfortable to work with. The images are freeform, but they could be forced to lose the File prefix, the size and just be done automatically, but they're not as to not force weird situations where the image is too big and comes out small, or just ends up weird. We're already planning big changes to the wiki, so in my opinion we should fix small annoying things like this too, I understand why you dont like this idea, but I just think it's gonna be way less annoying to work with in the future (apart from doppels but well...).

???

Episodes having a link back to their anime sounds like a good thing, though? Why would that be considered bad?

What on earth does a character linking back to their character page mean? They ''are'' the character page… aren't they? There'd be a link to itself?

Anyway… so how do you propose we link to the character ages page? Doing that manually is going to be ''way'' more annoying and error-prone than doing it automatically, if you ask me. I get that you want to support multiple ages, but that could also be done with age_1, age_2, age_3, agenote_1, agenote_2, agenote_3 etc.

What I meant was like if Iroha had a big link to [[Magia Record Characters]], because that's how it would look right now with the units. I still think the Unit and Kioku pages should be moved to special namespaces... I would be up for doing that, but it would be nicer to have someone who can move without leaving a redirect do it (Im not about to ask for admin permissions o_o).

<blockquote>Doing that manually is going to be ''way'' more annoying and error-prone than doing it automatically</blockquote>

Yeah, that's just the truth... But doing the age_1, agenote_1 would just be dumb. Most characters dont age, so the only thing to do would be moving their ''agenote'' to the ''age'' parameter, and changing ''approxage'' to ''age'' if its there. The characters that ''do'' age would be more complicated and error-prone like you said, but its still a very easy system. There's only 3 people wanting to work on this right now, and I doubt any of us would make those mistakes really, especially if the code would just be something like <code><nowiki>12 (Event Name) 18 (Breakpoint/Crescent Memoria) 19 (Main Story)</nowiki></code>.

I guess I just don't see the issues you see with these ideas.

Seems like you missed my point? Your example doesn't even link to the characters by age page. Automating that link is the primary reason I think merging the age field is a bad idea.

Why is age_1, agenote_1 etc dumb? It means you can put several in there and they all follow the same format automatically.

Another option though would be to technically merge the field, but write in the documentation that "content should be one or more invocations of Template:Age". Then make Template:Age that looks something like <code><nowiki>{{Age|42|estimated}}</nowiki></code> which expands to <code><nowiki>[[Characters by Age#42|42]] (estimated)</nowiki></code>. Maybe allow not using that template if the age is unknown or approximate, or maybe add an <code>approx=true</code> parameter for that case (depending on whether we want a common styling for it).

For the witch field I think it's not that big of a deal to merge them, having considered it a bit. The only question would be how we want to handle the doppel case (if at all) where there's no dedicated page for that witch, but… it could always be handled by redirects that just redirect back to the proper section on the same page, I guess.

<blockquote>Seems like you missed my point? Your example doesn't even link to the characters by age page. Automating that link is the primary reason I think merging the age field is a bad idea.</blockquote>

Yeah before in this conversation I said that the link to the ''Characters by Age'' page is on the first cell (the cell that just says "Age"). I would argue that this is better even if it makes it so that the link doesnt put you on that age's section, but honestly the idea of Template:Age might just solve this.

<blockquote>Maybe allow not using that template if the age is unknown or approximate</blockquote>

Template:Character Details already doesn't support putting "not basic" numbers into ''age'', so wouldnt we be able to just check if its a basic number?, if it is - it would link to the appropriate section, and if it isn't - it would link to the Unknown section the same way ''approxage'' does it on Template:Character Details.

For Doppels, that would be an easy solution, but I would prefer to keep it without the page reloading... I still don't know how that would work (and like before my only idea is to have the template somehow find and separate the name of the Doppel and everything else so it knows what should link and what shouldnt).

Oh yeah this isn't related to what we're talking about, but I think it would be a good idea if we had a Staff Template. Basically it would just be a big <nowiki>{{#switch}}</nowiki> that would change between any real person related to this series and choose a link for that person. The reason I think we should have this, is just to be consistent with links. I've seen it before where some pages link voice actors to japanese wikipedia, some to the english wikipedia, and other to different sites. It would be way easier if they were all in one place, and pages would just use the template like <nowiki>{{Staff|Chiwa Saitou}}</nowiki> instead of having to link every name on every page.

While I wait for the response on my idea for Template:Staff I have more questions about ''Magia Record Units'' and ''Magia Exedra Kioku''.

I'm still set on the namespaces idea for the unit pages themself, I already ran the "linking to the root page" argument to the dirt, but also why would they be subpages of that page, it felt okay when we didn't plan on even creating pages like these, but now it just feels wrong to have them be subpages of a page that collects them. Again, for the moving of the pages into that namespace, it would 100% be the best idea to get someone who can choose to not leave redirects to do it, but again I think that's only you, and unless you can give me permissions temporarily, then its either you do it or we leave redirects behind T-T (and break the existing ones). If I could get the permissions I would also just delete the redirects that the pages already have, as I remember moving them quite a lot. One more thing, after those pages get created, should [[Magia Record Characters]] and [[Magia Exedra Characters]] still use the special character cell templates? I can see the argument for Exedra to stay the same, but Record definitely shouldn't.

I still don't really understand your arguments at all. It might be a bit unusual for every unit page to have a breadcrumb link back to [[Magia Record Units]], but I don't see why it would feel wrong – linking back to the collection page seems completely normal to me. The only thing that might be slightly odd is that the link is a breadcrumb link, but I don't think that's really an issue?

About the character cell templates, I think they're basically made for the unit focus, so they should be used on [[Magia Record Units]]; but when it comes to [[Magia Record Characters]], perhaps the basic character cell template is better? I think the same applies to Magia Exedra, probably.

You don't need to worry about redirects. The redirects can just be deleted later. I think you actually have permission to delete the redirects yourself? But do make sure to update anything linking to them first (using the What Links Here feature – click on the redirect, click on the "redirected from" link at the top, and then click on "What Links Here" in the toolbar).

<blockquote>The only thing that might be slightly odd is that the link is a breadcrumb link</blockquote>

Yeah that's my main problem, tbf I can just move the pages myself and deal with the redirects, I mean I'm the one who sees a problem with this so I should do it. I'll probably put all the redirects under the deletion category though, I want them gone T-T.

<blockquote>perhaps the basic character cell template is better?</blockquote>

Yeah, it would make more sense there now. For Exedra characters I'm not really sure though, since the Exedra character cells are meant for Characters, not Kioku.

<blockquote>By the way, where to the witch, uwasa, and kimochi lists belong? Do they go on [[Magia Record Characters]], on [[Magia Record Units]], or on a new page?</blockquote>

Definitely keep them on [[Magia Record Characters]]. Unless you mean when treating them like Enemies... I think pages like ''Magia Record Enemies'' and ''Magia Exedra Enemies'' could make sense, but I think they would only if we had something similar to the unit pages but for enemies. Idk what info would go there though? Obviously the descriptions and sprites, but there's not that much left, so that's why even though I've been thinking about this, I've never suggested it.

Well, to be quite honest, if you dislike that breadcrumb link ''that'' much, then there's a very, ''very'' simple solution – just don't make them subpages in the first place. But I really don't think it's that much of a problem.

I went ahead and did some edits on [[Magia Record Characters]], so it's now solely characters and not units; the original unit list, unaltered, is now on [[Magia Record Units]].

I do agree that it would be nice to have [[Magia Record Enemies]] and/or [[Magia Exedra Enemies]] if we have enough information to gather about them (we should have it for Exedra, not sure about Record). If we don't have enough to make dedicated pages for each unit, I think it could be sufficient to just gather all that info onto the list page? That said, the enemies are mostly witches or familiars, so those do have a page.

Yeah I know the breadcrumb links are my fault T-T, for now I'll just leave the pages be, but I still plan on changing them into a namespace.

For Magia Record Characters, I think the variants that we consider "major" should stay, as in Holy Mami, Infinite Iroha, Uwasa Tsuruno and so on.

The cells for the units and Kioku should definitely be changed (well maybe not ''changed'' as they should just be new templates imo), they need:
* Proper linking, so in the template you just write the name, and it links to the page with the prefix.
* Rarities
* Elements
* Roles (Kioku only)
* Characters (Kioku only, though this isnt that important really)

Yeah as much as I'd like to have separate pages for enemy info, there's really little info. I mean what would Corbeau have apart from her sprite T-T. If I remember correctly the Fandom Magireco wiki had enemy pages that also had items attached to some of them (I have to say remember cause I cant check, fandom is down for some reason), so I guess that's extra information, but again, it's not a lot.

Um… I hate to break this to you, but… adding a new namespace isn't something you can do – it can only be done by editing the wiki settings directly, which means direct access to the server is needed. You could ask [User:0x99]] to add one, but having separate namespaces for each game seems kind of silly? Unless your plan is to "fake" a namespace by just adding a common prefix to each page name.

I'm of two minds on the variants in [[Magia Record Characters]]. They aren't really separate characters, so I think it's better to remove them. (Possibly, even Ultimate Madoka and Devil Homura.) But they certainly are more "major" than all the simple alt units, so I could probably accept putting them back.

Feel free to add new parameters to [[Template:Magia Record Character Cell]] and use them however you think is appropriate. I think perhaps we should add a description= parameter to [[Template:Simple Character Cell]] as well, to add a bit more info for the side characters.

Side note: if Fandom is becoming unstable, perhaps we should get someone to archive the Magia Record fandom (it can be done from [https://magireco.fandom.com/wiki/Special:Export here] but I can't seem to work out how to make it gather every page on the entire wiki). It's working for me right now (though I can't sign in for some reason), but we definitely don't want to lose all that information just because Fandom goes crazy or whatever. Without signing in I can't tell if people have still been editing it though.

Okay yeah if the namespaces take this much effort then I'll just leave them be T-T. Honestly I'm used to the breadcrumb link right now, and I don't mind it as much as I did before, so for now I don't plan on changing it.

As for the Enemy pages, I have a lot of thoughts. I still want them to be separate pages that would be transcluded on the pages of the characters like the Unit pages we have right now. I've recently changed how we list enemies on the Main Quest pages, and added enemies to event pages, all those boxes could easily link to the enemy pages, and even be good for collecting an "appearances" list, it works right now with using a dpl to check which pages use the icons, but if they just linked to the pages it would be easier. For Magical girl enemies, yeah we shouldn't have pages for them, the boxes could just link to the unit pages, as I know Record has a lot of units that act as enemies (at most Rebellion Mami from Exedra might be a problem, cause she doesn't have a unit). I still don't know how the template should look, as I tried a lot of looks and I haven't liked them very much T-T. I think someone else should make the template...

I think technically the magical girls as enemies are actually unique enemies that just happen to look like the magical girl (that is, they're not reusing the data from the playable character). But even assuming that's true, we don't need to reflect that in the way our wiki is laid out – I agree with just making the enemy boxes link to the playable unit pages in that case. ~ [[User:Celtic Minstrel|Celtic Minstrel]] ([[User talk:Celtic Minstrel|talk]]) 19:43, 22 May 2026 (UTC)

Making the Magireco enemy pages is way harder than Exedra ones I fear ._. A lot of enemies just don't have the same sprites, from what I know there are 3 types of sprites we could use:
# The Archive ones, the ones that are named <code>Enemy #### l.png</code>, these are the fewest but are also the best ones, as they always have the full enemy in and when it has multiple versions it has all of them in one sprite, but a lot of enemies just don't have them.
# The ones that are named <code>Chara #### ## b.png</code>, these are way more common, and even special variants like the New Year's Commoner's Horse have them, but they sometimes cut out parts of the full enemy.
# Put-together textures, as in a texture file put together by code and made into an image, but obviously, we don't have them. I don't know how to even make them, but I guess it would be something similar to Live2Ds, and we have a lot of those here. This would be the best, as EACH enemy gets a full sprite, but... We're probably not gonna have them...
Right now I guess it would be best to use the Archive images for the enemies that have them, and the Chara ones for the ones that don't. Also- do we separate the special variants the same way Exedra does? (like Christmas Oscars and FM Kamihama) Exedra separates them, but I think Record doesn't, and I know they share ID's with their normal forms, so that's an issue too.

(Adding stuff I forgot...)

There are also enemies that just don't have either, like the Tart Magica Soldiers, or the Puella Historia enemies. I know the Magireco wiki has sprites for some of them, but idk if that's done with the third sprite type I described or it's actually somewhere in the files.

Okay, I'm a little unsure what you're getting at here. Can you give some specific examples of the issues?
*An "Enemy" one that has multiple versions in one sprite
*A "Chara" one that's cropped
*The texture sources of an enemy that could be put together. (External link, if possible. No point in uploading it to the wiki only to delete it again.)
*Enemies that "just don't have either"
Did sprites in Magia Record use Live2d? If so, then we should definitely not upload any of the source textures, and should instead upload a render of the Live2d model – just like we do with conversation models. I think someone linked to a site that has these sprites awhile ago, but I don't remember who or where. It would probably be fine to use the other types as a stand-in where available, though.

Next, about special variants and IDs. First of all, I don't really care if the special variants have the same ID as their normal forms. The ID is an internal detail that doesn't matter in the slightest, so let's ignore that. (If you want to put that internal detail in the article, fine, but don't make strange decisions based on it.) I don't know what you mean by claiming that Magia Record does not separate them, but if they're logically a different enemy, then I'd say they should have a different page. Just because it's a reskin doesn't mean it's the same enemy – Matasaburo is a reskin of Candy but is clearly treated as a separate thing.

Okay for examples:
<blockquote>An "Enemy" one that has multiple versions in one sprite</blockquote>

By this I meant how some enemies have multiple looks in one sprite like:
<gallery>
File:Enemy 7101 l.png
File:Enemy 7202 l.png
</gallery>
I don't think this is an issue though.

<blockquote>A "Chara" one that's cropped</blockquote>
Easily the sprites of the Kimochi are very visibly cropped, because they dont have the "Enemy" sprites, just the "Chara" ones
<gallery>
File:Chara 6012 00 b.png
File:Chara 6003 01 b.png|Only the tail but still
</gallery>

<blockquote>The texture sources of an enemy that could be put together.</blockquote>

Here is [https://pi.rika.ren/magica/resource/image_native/mini/anime_v2/mini_700500_l0.png The Uwasa of the Anonymous Mail], obviously we have a sprite for this so we don't need to do anything with this. But this [https://pi.rika.ren/magica/resource/image_native/mini/anime_v2/mini_710112_l0.png Christmas Oscar] is one we don't have a sprite of, and I wish we had (though probably not for the enemy page itself just for the gallery). For an example of an enemy that doesn't have the first two types od sprites, is [https://magireco.fandom.com/wiki/Magical_Girl_(Executive) Magical Girl (Executive)], this is a link to her page on the record wiki where she doesn't have a sprite, and [https://pi.rika.ren/magica/resource/image_native/mini/anime_v2/mini_770700_l0.png this] is her texture. I dont think they're considered Live2D, I just compared them cause I think it works similarly (I dont know how it works so-)

<blockquote>I dont think they're considered Live2D</blockquote>It would be very strange for them to use a 2D skeletal animation system for the conversation sprites and a ''different'' 2D skeletal animation system for the battle sprites (though it's totally possible I guess). Live2D can totally animate small sprites like the ones used in Magia Record – I hadn't heard that they used it for that, but it sounds like they probably did.

The magical girl executive you linked appears to be a conversation sprite, not a battle sprite? Though maybe the texture you linked to ''is'' a battle sprite.

Anyway, if Magia Record was using Live2D (or similar) for their sprites as well, then what we should really have on the wiki is a render of the Live2D model. When "Enemy" or "Chara" sprites exist that work, we can use them instead (at least temporarily), but in general, I think we should prefer the proper render. And by the way – I don't think the ones with multiple sprites in one are good to use. They can be fine on a temporary basis, but again, I think we should prefer a direct render of the Live2D model.

I found [https://kyu.gay/ this], which has the executive, but doesn't have any of the enemies. (Note: the certificate is expired, so you'd need to override the security warning to view it.) I think it could be possible to download that and view enemy sprites locally as long as you have the assets.

I agree that we should use the renders, I look at the "Enemy" sprites the same way I do at [[:File:Shadow Witch Enemy Portrait.png|the Chamber of Light enemy images from Exedra]], where it's just a good sprite to ''represent'' the enemy, but it's not perfect. If we do get the rendered sprites, should we have all of them on the enemy pages? (like all the Oscars on their enemy page) Because if we do, then we definitely use tabbers, and that has another problem- the tab names, though... I feel like it should be okay if we use a the same character for every tab (maybe something invisible like <code>⠀</code>) and make each tab a different color with css like we did with the Kioku and Unit tabs.

Also two more questions, should the descriptions go into the enemy pages? They ''would'' fit there, as descriptions are directly tied to enemies, but at the same time the Witch and Uwasa pages already have them in their boxes, and a lot of enemies wouldn't have those descriptions. The second question is- should [[Template:Magia Exedra Enemy Small]] be also used for the Record enemies, as in rename the template and add a 'game' parameter to link correctly. I think it would be better than making another template that would mostly look the same, but I don't know what types of enemies are in Record. I know there are enemies that are said to be Bosses, but that's it.

About the renders again, I know I won't be able to make them, as I know nothing about this kind of stuff T_T

I might be missing something, but I don't understand why you want tabs here. Do each of the variations of the enemy have different stats or description or something like that? If we're only showing off the sprites themselves, a gallery would make more sense.

By descriptions, do you mean the witch descriptions? I guess those go on the witch pages.

Reusing the template exactly seems like an odd choice to me. We could do it, but it's not like we have a guarantee that all future games would forever fit the same format (though we can just not use it in the future if that happens).

I want tabs only for the sprites if the enemy has multiple of them, it's useful in cases like the Bartels in Exedra where they have 3 main appearances, so putting only one would make it look odd.

For the descriptions I meant all enemy descriptions so for Uwasa and Familiars too.

About the template its okay to just have them be separate, it won't change that much (Though I still want to rename the template idk what I was thinking with Enemy Small).

Okay so- I found a possible way to render these sprites, and some work! But... not all of them
<gallery>
File:Record Enemy 720804.png|Echo
File:Record Enemy 720700.png|Echo
File:Record Enemy 710900.png|Coco
</gallery>
The Echos look perfect but the Coco... yeah it's been through stuff. I think I know why, it's because the texture of the echos don't have any alternative sprites for when they attack or something, but Coco does, so they all render at the same time. Also the brain of the Coco renders weirdly low, idk i'll try to get this fixed but right now I'm flopping. (Also dont delete these files I or someone else will just upload new versions of them when the sprites are fixed)

My first guess would be that the method you're using is missing a step that selects the pose to use, so it's coming out as the equivalent of a T-pose (meaning the Echo sprites could also be a bit off). But, without more information about what you did, I can't be certain. I might be able to offer some other suggestions if you explain what you did, though.

Also, as a side note, for some of these sprites I've been wondering if it would make sense to render them in multiple poses – especially the ones where there are dramatic transformations during attacking, such as Candy's head turning into a mouth full of teeth.

I won't go into that much detail, but the script I use takes text from the .plist file of the enemy and using it assembles the sprite. The plist details which parts of the texture go where, it has 8 parameters: width, height, originalWidth, originalHeight, x, y, offsetX and offsetY. The script takes the x y, goes to those coordinates of the texture, cuts it out with the width and height and then positions it with the offset parameters. I believe the problem for the placement is the fact that I ignored originalWidth and originalHeight, but that's just because I have NO idea what those are, they sometimes seem random and sometimes are the exact same in every part. About the too many parts showing up problem, parts are usually labeled by numbers, but some also have letters (so like 'parts00' and 'parts01a' 'parts01b') I'm pretty sure that I should be able to easily find which ones are the idle/normal ones, but I'm not sure (I've already tried the a ones and it didnt work)

- [[User:TheresaFrog421|TheresaFrog421]] ([[User talk:TheresaFrog421|talk]]) 21:39, 24 May 2026 (UTC)

I have 2 theories, either the plist is just not enough to make a sprite in some cases, as sprites like the christmas Oscar ive sent a link to before have all of their parts in the same place, or the originalWidth and Height affect position/scale of each part. I can't tell if im stupid or its complicated, but I know that the first Echo i sent a render of, each part has the exact same originalWidth and originalHeight, while cases where the parts look wrongly arranged usually each part has a different originalWidth and height. Please give me all ideas you can think of how to affect the scale/position of the parts using the original parameters cause I'm losing it over here.

Hmm. Since you mentioned a plist file, I found documentation of the [https://www.codeandweb.com/texturepacker/knowledgebase/cocos2d-plist-file-format Cocos2D spritesheet format] hoping it would help, but what you described doesn't appear to conform to that format, so I'm not sure where to go from here... are the files on rika-ren?

Also, side note – you mentioned using Godot because it was free, but it can't hurt to try downloading Cocos Creator and see if it can just open them. No idea if it would work, but someone said somewhere that Magia Record was made in Cocos2d, so it ''might'' work. And AFAICT Cocos2d is also free.

The textures and .plist files are [https://pi.rika.ren/magica/resource/image_native/mini/anime_v2/ here on rika-ren], there's a lot more than just those two, like the ExpandJson I mentioned, but I thought the plist would be enough. I'll experiment with the Cocos2d app, but I also used godot because I knew how to code in there, while I won't know how to code here, so I make no promises (you should try too).

* I notice that the ExportJson and the .vfxj lack a 0 in the filename that the plist (and the png) has. No idea what that means.
* The plist ''does'' look like the general structure is the same as the Cocos2D sprite format, but the content of each frame is completely different. Maybe it's an older version of the format? I dunno.

Celtic Minstrel: Fix ref tag and add it to the example

<includeonly><onlyinclude>[[Characters by Age{{#if:{{{page|}}}| ({{{page}}})}}#{{#iferror:{{#expr:{{{1}}} > 0}}|Unknown|{{#ifexpr:{{{1}}} > 0|{{{1}}}|Unknown}}}}|{{{1}}}]]{{#if:{{{3|}}}|{{#tag:ref|{{{3}}}}}}}{{#if:{{{2|}}}| ({{{2}}})}} </onlyinclude></includeonly>
Creates a linked age number, meant for [[Template:Infobox character]]. To represent different character ages seen in different stories, use the template multiple times.

==Parameters==
* ''first unnamed parameter'' - The age, can be anything, but should be either a number, an estimation or just <code>Unknown</code>
* ''second unnamed parameter'' - The note to the age, can be <code>estimated</code> if the age is estimated, the stories in which the character has these ages or anything else that's relevant.
* ''third unnamed parameter'' - a footnote citing where the age was revealed (either first reveal or most prominent reveal).
* <code>page</code> - Appended to the age listing page in parentheses, for example <code>page=Puella Historia</code> links to [[Characters by Age (Puella Historia)]]

==Example==
For example [[Yachiyo Nanami]] is seen with many differing ages in different stories, this would be displayed like this:
<pre>
{{Age|12|Deliver to the Beyond, A Piece of Hope|Shown in Episode 32}}{{Age|18|Breakpoint; Crescent Memoria|Shown in Arc 4 Chapter 9}}{{Age|19|Main Story|Shown in Episode 81}}<references/>
</pre>
Which results in:

{{Age|12|Deliver to the Beyond, A Piece of Hope|Shown in Episode 3}}{{Age|18|Breakpoint; Crescent Memoria|Shown in Arc 4 Chapter 9}}{{Age|19|Main Story|Shown in Episode 8}}<references/>

'''Re: the character table / infobox...'''

I really think it makes more sense for information like "voice actor" or "character designer" to be put off to the side in a less conspicuous place, while information like "age" or "date of birth" or "school" is placed front and centre. So I think it might be a tough sell to argue for something that merges both those sets of information into a single table.

My main concern about placing the latter set of information in the infobox is the fact that some pages are ''dual characters''. The existing table is set up to handle multiple characters in one table, but the infobox is decidedly not.

'''Re: etymology'''

For this one, I'd say we just need to decide where it goes. It doesn't necessarily need to be an entire section of its own, though I think there may be a few characters where the etymology section could actually be a paragraph or two.

This suggestion:

<blockquote>
since an etymology section would be short, maybe at the very end somewhere? after trivia but before the notes.
</blockquote>

...seems quite reasonable.

'''Re: powers and abilities'''

I'm not sure I agree with this statement:

<blockquote>
a lot of characters don't have powers that can be extensively written about.
</blockquote>

I think it should be possible to get at least one paragraph for every character. For characters that appear in anime or manga, literally anything magic-looking that they're ever depicted doing could be mentioned. For characters that appear only in games, the section could verbally describe their various skills in the games. Of course, many characters appear in both interactive and non-interactive media, so in that case both may apply.

There is one unfortunate point in that we also have the [[Magic/Personal Abilities]] pages that duplicates this info. It would definitely be great if we could find a way to have one place transclude the other, rather than writing it all out twice. Though, I'm not entirely ''certain'' that that's a good idea – there may be reason to want it formatted differently in the two places.

I think some ideas are good and should be used but others seem iffy to me.

The Trivia section appearing under Gallery might cause chaos, since a lot of characters don't actually have their own galleries. I also fully agree with the History section, I think it should exist instead of the Appearances section all Record characters have.

The main argument - the Infobox - I'm kinda split in between. First of all I really like the JP name appearing under the English one, its just kinda stylish. I think the extra info could go in the Infobox under the condition that its grouped in collapsible boxes like fandom has it, and maybe even styled more? I kinda agree with the Character Info Table being kinda ugly, but the whole wiki is kinda bland (I have no idea how to even style it so Im not gonna suggest anything).

As for the dual character pages problem, I'd have to understand how the character variants in Record are planned to be treated first.
<blockquote>I think we should handle the game info for Magia Record in the same way as we're now handling it for Magia Exedra</blockquote>
<blockquote>and this would merge all non-dual variant characters into their base character page</blockquote>
Would the Duo pages stay as they are? If we do get rid of the non-duo pages they would look out of place in my opinion.

About the Memoria/Portraits they could actually go into Game Info, but the tables would most likely have to be collapsed, because them being at the bottom of the page doesn't create much problems, while appearing in the middle would. (Forgot to add that I agree with Game Info being lower, it makes sense for it to be higher in pages that describe units but this is a very general wiki, so it makes more sense to treat them like characters over units anytime.)

Oh yeah I also condone personal magic being on the character's page a lot more than on a [[Magic/Personal Abilities]] page, I don't really even understand why they exist.

'''re; character table/infobox --''' 

you have a point with the dual units. unless anyone has any suggestions, i'll try to brainstorm on any ideas that could "clean up" the page layout while also being able to accommodate 2+ characters.

'''re; powers and abilities --''' 

i'm also going to have to vote against just pulling directly from [[Magic/Personal Abilities]] -- i've taken a peek at those pages, and even just skimming the promised blood section (promised blood is where most of my character knowledge lies), i see a ''lot'' of personal speculation/extrapolations, many of which are not correct or at least not at all hinted toward in canon information. there's also the fact that there is typically a pretty clear gameplay/canon divide for a lot of magireco units, where something their in-game unit is depicted as doing may not necessarily be a canonical ability and was instead added more to spice up gameplay visuals -- off the top of my head, this ranges from something as minor as yuna's attacks having a flourish of "storm magic" (something that i personally headcanon to be true) to as extreme as asahi being able to zip around in the air in her magia (an ability that is never once mentioned/referenced/shown in any story and seems to just have been added to make asahi's attacks look more interesting than just a girl shooting a musket).

for the record, with this, i'm mostly talking about magia record characters -- magireco is where i'm most knowledgeable about the franchise and yet is also where there aren't very many visual depictions of magic to go off of. for the franchise's characters overall, i think a powers/abilities section would be very useful, and i think especially for characters like the quintet, would end up being fairly filled out. but when i consider magia record, i'm not sure how to justify it getting its own section rather than simply a subsection perhaps somewhere under "personality and traits". since yuna is my mockup character, for yuna's canonical, in-story magic that we see her use, i can think of the typical magical girl abilities (strength, soul gem stuff, etc.) and her personal "target redirection" -- her "storm magic" depicted in thunderbolt burial is never shown in the story, and though the "personal abilities" page lists off "flame resistance", this is not actually ever mentioned or shown as being something that yuna is capable of and seems to be a misinterpretation of a scene from crimson resolve. 
to be clear, i think the potentially non-story-canon abilities depicted in gameplay should be noted on character pages, but since quite a bit of it is only ever shown in a single animation and then never again, it would be hard to spin more than a sentence or two about it, which is what makes me hesitant to want to dedicate a whole standalone section to p&a, at least on the magireco pages.

'''re; trivia/gallery --''' 

i was thinking that each character would hopefully get their own gallery section, with the "gallery" heading simply linking to the standalone page. i find separate gallery pages to be much more organized and look much cleaner than for a character's gallery to be pasted in its entirety onto the main page.

'''Re: Location of Trivia section'''

This doesn't seem like it would be an issue for most characters, as the gallery will just be a link, but for minor characters who only have a very small inline gallery… it's hard to say.

'''Re: Dual Unit Pages'''

I'm not sure how best to handle dual pages, to be honest. I do think it makes sense for them to exist. It's kinda tough to fit them into any system…

Other than the dual pages, my personal opinion is that it would be best to get rid of the separate "in Magia Record" and "in Magia Exedra" pages and have just one page for each character. So, the variants would all be merged into that character's page as well.

For dual units, one possible solution would be to transclude the game data for them into the page of both (or all three of) the involved units. However, that sounds like it could get pretty complicated, so I'm not sure that's a good solution. It also implies the dual unit has no dedicated page beyond just the stats and stuff, though I don't know if that's a bad thing.

: '''Re: Powers & Abilities'''

Broadly speaking, I agree with TheresaFrog on this point and at least partly disagree with Onitora.

<blockquote>i'm also going to have to vote against just pulling directly from [[Magic/Personal Abilities]] -- i've taken a peek at those pages, and even just skimming the promised blood section (promised blood is where most of my character knowledge lies), i see a ''lot'' of personal speculation/extrapolations, many of which are not correct or at least not at all hinted toward in canon information.</blockquote>First of all, putting speculations in the powers and abilities section seems fair game to me, though of course there should be a good enough reason to back up any speculation (wild guessing at random has no place).

<blockquote>there's also the fact that there is typically a pretty clear gameplay/canon divide for a lot of magireco units, where something their in-game unit is depicted as doing may not necessarily be a canonical ability and was instead added more to spice up gameplay visuals -- off the top of my head, this ranges from something as minor as yuna's attacks having a flourish of "storm magic" (something that i personally headcanon to be true) to as extreme as asahi being able to zip around in the air in her magia (an ability that is never once mentioned/referenced/shown in any story and seems to just have been added to make asahi's attacks look more interesting than just a girl shooting a musket).</blockquote>I strongly disagree on the existence of a "pretty clear" gameplay/canon divide. There definitely ''is'' such a divide, but I would say it's very blurry.

Considering your two examples, I would suggest that the Asahi case is more likely just a "visual flair", whereas the Yuna case can reasonably be interpreted as soft evidence that she may have lightning magic or whatever it is that it's depicting. This is because it's using very limited animation, so it's difficult to argue that the movement of the sprite means anything; on the other hand, the choice of particle effect seems like it should be much more meaningful.

In general, I would say that every special attack (the Magia moves in Magia Record, Special Attacks in Magia Exedra) should be considered to be roughly representative of their canon abilities. There may be some simplifications or some extra visual flair, but it's not depicting something they're actually unable to do in canon. I would also consider their other game skills (connect and blast in Magia Record; Battle Skill in Magia Exedra; and basic attacks in both) to be at least soft canon, as long as it doesn't directly contradict anything else. I would also consider that the gameplay effects of those skills (for example, the afflictions cured or inflicted) to be accurate to their abilities, but it's difficult to derive facts about their abilities from this – the afflictions are highly-abstracted, after all. A Bind affliction could represent possibly hundreds of disparate types of canon abilities, from the obvious like ribbons or vines that restrain, to less obvious skills such as, say, stopping the enemy's movement via temporal dilation. (I'm not saying the latter exists anywhere, but I would consider it to be a valid interpretation of a Bind affliction. Though personally, I think it fits for [[Yuzuki Rion]], but I don't think there's any hard proof.)

<blockquote>for the franchise's characters overall, i think a powers/abilities section would be very useful, and i think especially for characters like the quintet, would end up being fairly filled out. but when i consider magia record, i'm not sure how to justify it getting its own section rather than simply a subsection perhaps somewhere under "personality and traits". since yuna is my mockup character, for yuna's canonical, in-story magic that we see her use, i can think of the typical magical girl abilities (strength, soul gem stuff, etc.) and her personal "target redirection" -- her "storm magic" depicted in thunderbolt burial is never shown in the story, and though the "personal abilities" page lists off "flame resistance", this is not actually ever mentioned or shown as being something that yuna is capable of and seems to be a misinterpretation of a scene from crimson resolve.</blockquote>

And then this too I have to disagree with. I don't think we should treat Magia Record characters so dramatically different from the Holy Quintet. If the Holy Quintet can have a Powers and Abilities section, then surely every character can have one – even if it's only two sentences on some of the more minor side characters in Magia Record.

to clarify, i did mean that i think a powers and abilities section would be useful for all (magical girl) characters -- just that for some characters it may look best as a subsection (ie "personality and traits" --> "powers and abilities") rather than having being its own distinct section. characters with just a few sentences would get a subsection and then characters with more information would have a "main" powers and abilities section, probably beneath (but not part of) "personality and traits". pages can have their subsections promoted to "main" section as needed, which i don't think would be too difficult.

<blockquote>First of all, putting speculations in the powers and abilities section seems fair game to me, though of course there should be a good enough reason to back up any speculation (wild guessing at random has no place)</blockquote>

speculation is certainly useful and is by far the lifeblood of this fandom, but imo is best restricted to where there is a clear disclaimer that it isn't necessarily canonical information. speculation is not ''bad'', but i don't think it has any place being mixed in with confirmed canonical information, which is what wikis are to document. when it comes to [[Magic/Personal_Abilities/Magia_Record_Promised_Blood_Girls]] specifically, i should say it's less "speculation" and more "misunderstandings (?) passed off as canon fact" -- but this discussion isn't about that page so i'll stop there. my point is that i disagree that personal speculation has any place on a character's canonical page -- wikis are for documenting canonical, confirmed-by-the-text information, and i've noticed a lot of personal headcanons/speculation/what have you passed off as canonical truth on multiple pages. given this wiki's history, i think there may be some use in setting up sub-pages (?) (still not coding-smart so this may not be the actual term for them; forgive me) dedicated to character/world/etc speculation, but when it comes to a canonical page, i don't think speculation should be allowed. that's all i'm trying to get at.

<blockquote>I strongly disagree on the existence of a "pretty clear" gameplay/canon divide. There definitely ''is'' such a divide, but I would say it's very blurry.</blockquote>

this is my bad for phrasing things awkwardly/incorrectly here -- there is a clear gameplay divide ''to me''. i do agree with you that the divide is overall rather blurry, which is why i think that, in a character's powers and abilities section, it would be wise to note when what's being described is something that's shown up in the story or is simply something that is shown in a unit animation -- this would include all of the "magic" while also not taking a firm stance in an ability being canonical or not. for example, even though i don't think asahi is able to fly like she's shown doing in her magia, i think it would be wise to include such information on her page ''with the caveat'' that it's something we only see her do in a gameplay animation and not something she's ever shown doing in the story. the viewer can come to canon/noncanon conclusions on their own; that's not for the wiki to do.

'''re; trivia location --''' 

for characters with very small galleries, i think those images could just be put onto the page beneath trivia and above notes. that shouldn't clog things up too much.

<blockquote>I don't think we should treat Magia Record characters so dramatically different from the Holy Quintet.</blockquote>

This is what we should go after. A GIANT problem with this wiki is inconsistency, I mean just look at any of the newer character pages and [[Madoka Kaname]], she has sections we didnt give to other characters such as '''Design''' or '''Personality''', so I will always say that we need to make these pages actually consistent. That's why I also agree with Celtic on the powers section, no point in making it into a subsection, even if it looks bare. The same goes for '''Trivia''' being above the gallery for some and below for others.

I agree that we could have a '''Personality''' section for each character, but would what '''Appearance''' be? We have a '''Summary''' section thats very random on Magireco pages, it has the description of the character, their doppel description and then side story, which all is effectively game info for Magia Record. Would appearance be about that or about their design?

I believe that before we do these changes, we should start doing the game unit fixes Celtic mentioned. I still don't fully understand them but they would clean the pages up a lot. - [[User:TheresaFrog421|TheresaFrog421]] ([[User talk:TheresaFrog421|talk]]) 14:18, 18 October 2025 (UTC)

'''Appearance''' would obviously be a textual description of the character, perhaps supplemented by images in some cases.

yes, i agree that page inconsistency is an issue on this wiki. however, i ''don’t'' agree that minor differences in section/subsection placement counts as ‘treat[ing] magia record characters so dramatically different from the holy quintet’. i don’t think the quintet should be held up as what the average character page on this wiki (or any wiki) should look like — the truth of the matter is that, at this point in the franchise, the quintet are so bloated with in-universe and out-of-universe information compared to the other characters that their pages are going to have to be a bit different to accommodate that. i think that powers and abilities would look best on non-quintet pages as a subsection; non-quintet characters are going to have much shorter p&a information, and to make it a whole section instead of a sub-area beneath personality and traits would look very awkward at such a prominent placement at the top of the page. aside from that, yes, i think it ultimately makes sense for pages to have their layouts roughly standardized for organization purposes. 
(also, adding this, since i'd typed this up earlier and forgot; i've seen plenty of wikis that have character pages with a roughly standardized layout, but also with some wiggle room depending on the specific character/information available. even wikis like bulbapedia will add, take out, or rearrange entire sections for a character's page if it makes sense to do so. so, i don't think that quintet/non-quintet/etc pages need to be held to exactly the same standards, given the discrepancy in information available for the quintet and the other characters in this franchise -- in this case i think it's best if some adjustments were made just to keep the pages looking nice, since readability is going to be important here). 

as for what each section would include, thank you for making me realize i haven’t explained. so, just so we’re all on the same page -- 
*'''1. Appearance'''
**'''1a. Magical Girl;''' details of the character's physical appearance. celtic minstrel noted that it seemed redundant when there are images, but i think it's important to help set up the rest of the article (most wikis, even nonfiction wikis like wikipedia, utilize descriptions even if there are images supplementing the rest of the article), as well as, as noted, to be potentially helpful for various reasons.
**'''1b. Doppel;''' details of the character's doppel's physical appearance. largely only relevant to magireco pages.
*'''2. Personality and Traits;''' a description of the magical girl's canonical characterization.
**'''2b. Powers and Abilities;''' [not part of original mockup] a description of the magical girl's canonical magical abilities.
*'''3. History;''' the character's story appearances and backstory in chronological order, broken up into subsections (ie 'crimson resolve' or 'blood(y) tragedy' for yuna's experience in cr). ''not'' an omniscient summary of various events/stories/etc featuring said character like the current side story sections.
*'''4. [misc game section];''' no idea what to title this one, but a section (or two) dedicated to game information, or a link to a subpage with game information, like stats, magia name, discs, etc.
*'''5. Gallery;''' link to a character's gallery, or potentially an on-page gallery if it's small enough.
*'''6. Trivia;''' confirmed/canonical factoids that do not otherwise fit into the article and are not vital to understanding of the character. '''not''' a section for speculation or headcanon. i emphasize this because i think a lot of editors on this wiki misunderstand what a trivia section is for; i find that [https://splatoonwiki.org/wiki/Inkipedia:Policy/Trivia inkipedia's policy article] explains it well.
*'''7. Etymology;''' [not part of original mockup] information about the character's human/doppel name; short and sweet.
*'''8. Notes;''' additional information/elaboration for information presented in the article; footnotes. may not be necessary for most pages.
*'''9. References;''' basically a bibliography. i think this wiki would significantly improve in quality if information was required to have a source attached; there have been ''numerous'' false magia record character rumors that can be directly traced back to unsourced misinformation being posted on this wiki as fact and nobody taking it down because they've just assumed it to be true.

overall, the placement of powers and abilities isn't really a hill i'm willing to die on. i think it'd be best for layout/readability if it were handled differently depending on the amount of information available, but i am only one person. even if i have my personal gripes, as long as this layout is roughly followed, at least for the magia record pages, i can't complain.

Hmm. I think the current side story sections could maybe be split to a separate page, like the Exedra side stories? So then each page has its own story. In some cases, various side stories lead directly into each other, so those ones could even be merged into one page for the entire flow, which could be even better since you can just read the entire sequence of events all at once. Examples of this are seen with Nanaka's and Hazuki's teams and the Tokime trio; I don't remember the exact details.

For me, I think '''Notes''' and '''References''' could be merged most of the time – many of those references would be in footnotes anyway, wouldn't they? It could be a '''References''' section that dumps the footnotes and then maybe adds some links, like the current '''See Also''' sections. It's not that I'm opposed to separating them out, though…

I had one thought about the Memoria Card or Portrait lists – do they go in part 4 or part 5? I added them to the Gallery on [[Café Récompense]], after all, but they're not in the gallery section in any of the character pages.

Regarding 1a and 1b – I think we don't need separate subsections for girls who don't have a doppel. Just put the content of 1a directly in 1.

I'm not entirely sold on the section title of '''History'''. Another option is '''Backstory''', but that also has problems…

I think we still need to settle on the role of the big info table and/or the infobox. As I mentioned before the conversation was shifted over here, I think OOC and IC information should be kept separate, so I'm not really sold on dumping both into the infobox…

if i can be totally honest, i don't see the need to compile summaries of stories on the wiki. if people want to read an event's story, they can...go read the event. summaries tend to give people incorrect ideas and help them to draw incorrect conclusions, anyway -- like this wiki, i've found a lot of misinformation in the english fandom stems from people reading summaries (both on this wiki and on reddit) instead of just reading stories for themselves. i'm personally going to have to vote against having dedicated "story" pages at all. i see no reason for it. this is a separate thing than having a brief rundown of a character's story involvement -- and only that character's involvement -- on that character's page in the "history" section.
editing to clarify; i think event pages should be less about compiling "here's every millisecond of this event story" and more about a nice harmony of both gameplay and story. an event's page could have a little intro blurb at the top, then a quick story synopsis (4, maybe 5 medium-long paragraphs of the primary story beats; not like the long-winded reddit "summaries" created after using mtl to read a story the day it drops), then gameplay information (currency? shop? quest nodes? etc.), then maybe the text transcripts if they fit. make the pages informational and not just mtl summaries from 4chan and reddit.

"notes" would be less about listing off where information comes from and more about clarifying information in the main part of the article. like i said, think about the footnotes in a nonfiction book. to use bulbapedia as an example, their page for the character kieran from pokemon scarlet/violet has a single note regarding his listed age. it is not a source, but it clarifies that the information comes only from the french version of the game and that the information is not present in other translations of the game. that information would not be present in a "references" section, which would simply be a bibliography.

memoria cards -- with no information attached -- would go into the gallery. a character's personal memoria could go into their gameplay section, as that is relevant to gameplay. i have no preference either way on if non-personal memoria that still features the character in some capacity also goes into the gameplay section.

yes, obviously characters without doppels will not have divided subsections to facilitate a doppel.

i think "history" works just fine. it ''is'' a compilation of the character's history in the game; "backstory" would only cover things before the main story.

my opinion has not changed about the information table. i still think they should be merged. while the table is useful, i find it, in no uncertain terms, very ugly, and it breaks up the flow of the page. i see no issue in merging ic/ooc information like how it is done on bulbapedia character tables, as i mentioned previously.

Text transcripts, if present, should be on a separate page for sure. I wouldn't say we need them, but EPF is going to great lengths to make them, so whatever! I don't think gameplay information like quest nodes and the like is super important, but I also wouldn't be opposed to adding that (the Magia Record fandom wiki has all that information, I believe). It's certainly true that the summaries could be compressed a lot more. I'm still in favour of keeping the big table and separating IC from OOC info. It may be partly because I put a lot of work into getting that table working, but I do question combining the two categories of info into one place.

i would be willing to help create new summaries for different events whenever those pages are reworked. my current priority is the character pages, though. just to clarify, when i mention synopsis/gameplay/transcripts, i mean for pages separate from the character pages, not on the character pages. these would clutter up the character pages.

as for the infobox, i think currently my favorite example of how it's done would be bulbapedia, as i mentioned -- [https://bulbapedia.bulbagarden.net/wiki/Carmine here] is an example. i think it looks sleek while also merging both ic and ooc information, which helps to clean up the rest of the page. it's not something that's very obvious, but the way that the various pieces of information are visually grouped together (ie, age/gender/eye color/hair color have their own section) helps to keep things organized within the box. we don't have to copy this exactly, but i think something inspired by it, at the very least, would look very nice.

The reason I go for the transcripts is - they're pretty close to objective. A summary or a synopsis inherently will have a third party's interpretation and potential misremembering of the events. Being able to point at an exact quote is tremendously helpful in maintaining objectivity. Another benefit is searchability - the wiki will never have a synopsis on every topic a person could be interested in, some stuff is really niche trivia. Yet trivia that is useful nevertheless. Being able to search through the quotes yourself makes it much easier. It's also great if you remember something was stated, but have no idea where. This is also why I'm postulating on [[Talk:Main_Page#Tabbers|adding the AdvancedSearch extension]]. This is also data preservation - gachas are live-service games doomed to disappear one day, having at least a transcript saved means a story's less likely to become lost media [[User:EPF|EPF]] ([[User talk:EPF|talk]]) 02:53, 30 October 2025 (UTC)

Wait so are we planning to get rid of the Side and Costume stories' summaries and just leave a link to a transcript? It would actually kinda help with the game section's build.

For the Memoria and Portraits going into galleries, even though I really like the way we have them now... Yeah it makes more sense for them to be in galleries instead, and just leave the personal/unique ones in the game section. I want to ask though, would we keep the Memoria/Portraits like we have them now (showing all the info) or turn them into regular gallery sections?

Also Celtic, I have an attempt at recreating Onitora's idea for the infobox on my [[User:TheresaFrog421/Sandbox|Sandbox page]], specifically for Shizuka, its not a template though. - [[User:TheresaFrog421|TheresaFrog421]] ([[User talk:TheresaFrog421|talk]]) 12:36, 1 November 2025 (UTC)

(i apologize for my silence; i am very busy at the moment and wiki work isn't my highest priority)

my idea was less that we'll be getting rid of pages and more that the event/side story/etc pages will be transcripts instead of somebody else's interpretation of events. especially since this wiki does not always source its summaries from reliable sources, many summaries have been pasted onto the wiki without permission/credit, and i know somebody personally who threw random misinformation into one of their summaries because they knew the wiki was putting their work up without credit and without fact-checking. like epf says, transcripts are as close to objective as you can get without reading the event story for yourself as well as a form of data preservation, and as i mentioned previously, these poorly-written summaries have been the source of multiple incorrect rumors/misinformation in the english fandom.

for personal memoria in the game section, those would have stats/descriptions/etc.; for memoria in the character's gallery, i think those are best off without that information attached. of course, this creates a problem for what to do about non-personal memoria -- the fandom wiki hosts all the memoria information that anybody could ever need, so i don't think it's critically important that we do the same, but i'm not against the idea of individual pages for every memoria card, either.

i think that mockup looks wonderful. i think it would certainly tidy up the character pages. thank you for your hard work!

editing to add; this is relevant more to the wiki as a whole and not juts to character page layouts, but i think i should bring it up. a while ago, a discussion in the magia union translations discord server came up about the idea of uncredited work on the wiki. going forward (and retroactively), i think it would be wise to edit various templates to include a credits section. off the top of my head, i know i've done some witch/kimochi translations that i've uploaded to the wiki that have gone entirely uncredited unless somebody were to dig around in the page history, and i know multiple others on the mut project would appreciate credit for their work if/when it is ever used on this wiki (which, if we're to include transcripts, will be inevitable).

Personally, I think the best way to properly credit people would be to ask each person to personally post their work so that their name is attached to the edit in the log. But I understand that that's not going to happen every time, so when it doesn't we should certainly make sure that credit is properly given for stuff that deserves it (chiefly translations; there are likely other things too, but I think that's the biggest one). ~ [[User:Celtic Minstrel|Celtic Minstrel]] ([[User talk:Celtic Minstrel|talk]]) 23:52, 21 November 2025 (UTC)
: Also, regarding the mockup, I would recommend transferring it to the main page of this page: [[Puella Magi Wiki:Wiki Cleanup 2025/Article formatting|here]]. ~ [[User:Celtic Minstrel|Celtic Minstrel]] ([[User talk:Celtic Minstrel|talk]]) 23:56, 21 November 2025 (UTC)

----

i've been editing in my own translations; i don't think the edit log is a good way to track translation/etc. credits. most translators do not have wiki accounts (i do, and i can think of two others, but they are not active users) and ''most people are not going to be checking the edit logs for translation credits.'' the edit log will make crediting even less clear if it's on a page that is edited regularly. while i do have my own account and have my translations attached to my name in the wiki's edit log, i'd rather have more clear credit, and that's something i've seen expressed by other users as well, especially since quite a few mut translations have more than one person working on them -- antimony and bst tend to team up for translations rather than doing solo projects, the arc 2 main story chapters all have multiple users pitching in to help, and events like ashen revolution had larger teams working on them for one reason or another; sometimes a story gets stuck in purgatory and will then have tons of credits on it because it keeps changing hands. a single person editing the page and the edit log being their credit will simply not work in most cases.

I don't know if everyone would be okay with it, but can we restructure the way Character pages are set up when they have multiple appearances?
Let's take Sayaka for example. Instead of having these pages for her:
# Sayaka Miki
# Sayaka Miki in Magia Record
# Sayaka Miki (scene 0 ver.), summer ver. etc.
# Sayaka Miki in Magia Exedra
# Sayaka Miki in Magia Exedra/Insert variants here, etc.
How about we have the structure be more cohesive, and have the units from Exedra, as well as Record, in the same page. For example:
# Sayaka Miki (character information and story stuff)
# Sayaka Miki/Magia Record (will have sections for each of her versions)
# Sayaka Miki/Magia Exedra (will have sections for each of her versions too, so that everything won't have to be split in a million different directions, and the information won't have to be repeated)
I just thought this would be more efficient and easier to uphold, especially since I've seen pages that don't have all the information from the character's main page to their record versions for example.

I think merging the Magia Record variants into the main page is broadly a good idea. I'm not sure if I like your specific proposal though. In particular, I'm not sure that having separate subpages for Magia Record and Magia Exedra is needed – is there a reason that information can't be on the main page? On the other hand, I like having the game units on subpages that are transcluded into the main page, as is currently done for Magia Exedra. ~ [[User:Celtic Minstrel|Celtic Minstrel]] ([[User talk:Celtic Minstrel|talk]]) 17:08, 22 November 2025 (UTC)
: I filled out the mockup to cover everything from Onitora's original mockup as well as most of what we've discussed. The text is filled with a mixture of Lorem Ipsum and transclusions of real content from Shizuka's and Mami's pages. I think it probably still needs more work though – I'm not entirely confident in the headings I chose for the "game info" sections. ~ [[User:Celtic Minstrel|Celtic Minstrel]] ([[User talk:Celtic Minstrel|talk]]) 18:42, 22 November 2025 (UTC)
:: Also, if someone wanted to show off a ''completely different'' mockup, you could feel free to add an additional <nowiki>=Toplevel Section=</nowiki> on that page and put everything for your new mockup underneath that. ~ [[User:Celtic Minstrel|Celtic Minstrel]] ([[User talk:Celtic Minstrel|talk]]) 18:43, 22 November 2025 (UTC)

While I agree with the way you want to handle Game info, I have questions.

What about the Doppel descriptions of alt units? Right now they would just cease to exist. I think it would be better if they would just be included in the game section for each unit, but to be fair I think even more things should be there, such as the unique memoria (and unique portrait for Exedra).

:Adding this, could the doppel descriptions just be added into the game info template? I still think the template deserves a remake and I think this could almost work...?

Also I don't really understand the gallery section here, the Memoria and Portraits should be on the gallery ''page'' not section, and I dont think the costume stories should be there at ALL, but I understand that there's not really any other section this belongs to... - [[User:TheresaFrog421|TheresaFrog421]] ([[User talk:TheresaFrog421|talk]]) 12:13, 23 November 2025 (UTC)

I really like the Shizuka mockup, but I have some notes.
# Appearance: I think that the Appearance section shouldn't have the Doppel in it. Personally, I wouldn't include the sub-heading for "Magical Girl" either, and just describe all the outfits seen worn (like different versions and such), all in different paragraphs in the Appearance heading.
# In Magia Record / In Magia Exedra: I think these should have descriptions of the girls as units (like their record/exedra pages already do). Info like when they were released, their unit descriptions, Doppel Descriptions, etc. for every version. I think Costume stories (like pijamas, halloween and other outfits that dont come with units and their stories should be at the Magia Record section too)
# Notes: I think Notes should be replaced with Observations, or at least used the way Observations has been used until now, where symbolism and stuff like that should go. Units that already have these are Meiyui, Kagari, Yu, Pernelle, etc.

Here's a better summary of what I mean and how the table of contents would look like:
{{Spoilerbox|1.1 Appearance 
1.2 Personality and Traits 
1.3 Powers and Abilities 
1.4 History (this will also include backstory stuff) 
1.4.1 Arc 1 
1.4.2 Event X 
1.4.3 Arc 2 
1.4.4 Event Y 
1.5 In Magia Record 
1.5.1 Normal Version (idk if a "normal version" is needed, and can't instead be placed directly on the "In Magia Record" part, but that's just me) 
1.5.1.1 Doppel Description 
1.5.2 First Sunrise Version 
1.5.2.1 Doppel Description 
1.5.3 Costumes (includes stories) 
1.6 In Magia Exedra (this would also not be repeated for 3 star units since their kioku just have their names and the heartphials treat them all as one character even when they have different costumes anyway) 
1.6.1 Tiro Finale (more than just the unit/gameplay features for each one) 
1.6.2 Bebe-O'-Lantern 
1.6.3 Fiore Finale 
1.6.4 Tiro Finale Liberation 
1.7 Etymology 
1.8 Observations / Notes 
1.9 Trivia 
1.10 Gallery (this should be in the end imo, since it is quite lengthy) 
1.10.1 Memoria 
1.10.2 Portraits 
1.11 References}}

* '''Doppel Descriptions''': Can't we just put all the various doppel descriptions in the currently-marked place?
* '''Gallery''': I don't think the memoria and portrait list should be carted off to a separate Gallery page. Whether or not they go in the gallery at all is an open question though – they could belong in the Game Info section instead. As for costume stories, I can agree that they don't really belong there; I plopped them into the Gallery section because they showcase the costumes themselves. If we were going with that mockup, we'd probably adjust things so that it's just the costume images and not the stories as wel.
* '''Unit Descriptions''': That's a good idea, actually.

My issue with the Doppel descriptions being in Appearance is that it doesn't feel like it fits there? Atleast not the descriptions, when that section is about their looks. It just feels like its there because there's no other place to put it in.

I believe the stats template should be changed so its showing off more, like the card art since its not gonna be above it on the page (like we have it now with each unit having a page), and I think doppels would fit in there well.

About the game sections I think it would be best if they had a "top" section, for Record that would have the costume stories and for Exedra it would have the description and the personal Portrait, since they dont change depending on unit. If we put the Memoria/Portraits there then it would be best to close those tables since they can get VERY lengthy (thats why Im more for them being in the gallery pages but I can see the other perspective). - [[User:TheresaFrog421|TheresaFrog421]] ([[User talk:TheresaFrog421|talk]]) 15:37, 23 November 2025 (UTC)

looks like there's been quite a bit of discussion since i last posted. to try to address everything --

<blockquote>In particular, I'm not sure that having separate subpages for Magia Record and Magia Exedra is needed – is there a reason that information can't be on the main page?</blockquote>
i do not think everything should be merged into a single page. while it will make more pages to be maintained, i think it is in our best interests for organization for characters to have separate pages for each of their incarnations -- not least because the magireco timeline ''is not the same as the anime timeline.'' putting magia record story information onto sayaka's primary character page alongside information from the original anime run and rebellion would only serve to confuse people. though i don't think we should be titling the pages like "sayaka miki in magia record" like the current standard is; i think we're better off slicing that down a bit into something more like "sayaka miki (magia record)" or "sayaka miki/magia record", with these linked on the primary page.

<blockquote>[...] I agree with the way you want to handle Game info [...]</blockquote>
for the most part, me as well. i think those boxes are useful, save for the fact that i think magia record and magia exedra information should not share a page.

<blockquote>What about the Doppel descriptions of alt units? Right now they would just cease to exist. I think it would be better if they would just be included in the game section for each unit, but to be fair I think even more things should be there, such as the unique memoria (and unique portrait for Exedra). </blockquote>
i think the official doppel description(s) should go under game information alongside their gameplay information; the section under "appearance" is not intended for the official blurb to be copy-pasted into. and i also agree that personal memoria should be in the gameplay section.

<blockquote>Also I don't really understand the gallery section here, the Memoria and Portraits should be on the gallery page not section, and I dont think the costume stories should be there at ALL, but I understand that there's not really any other section this belongs to...</blockquote>
ditto.

<blockquote>Appearance: I think that the Appearance section shouldn't have the Doppel in it. Personally, I wouldn't include the sub-heading for "Magical Girl" either, and just describe all the outfits seen worn (like different versions and such), all in different paragraphs in the Appearance heading.</blockquote>
i think doppels have description priority over different outfits. aside from describing units with alternative appearances (ex; vampire yuna), i don't think we should be describing anything outside of a character's magical girl outfit, her witch/doppel, and maybe her school uniform.

<blockquote>I think Costume stories (like pijamas, halloween and other outfits that dont come with units and their stories should be at the Magia Record section too)</blockquote>
i vote against having summaries of events/stories/etc. on a character's page, even if that story is associated with a costume for that character.

<blockquote>Notes: I think Notes should be replaced with Observations, or at least used the way Observations has been used until now, where symbolism and stuff like that should go.</blockquote>
'''hard''' no on putting speculation on characters' canonical pages. this is how misinformation spreads and headcanons are passed on as fact. given the history of this wiki and the nature of this franchise in general, i am open to the idea of characters having a linked "speculation" subpage for people to mess around on. but '''not''' on the main page that is intended to compile canonical information. that is not what wikis are for, and while i feel mean bringing it up, this is a big reason why this wiki's reputation is currently so poor.

'''regarding memoria''' -- i think personal memoria with its gameplay information should be on the character's page, beneath the gameplay section. memoria that is ''not'' personal ''but otherwise showcases the character in some capacity'' should be in the gallery subpage. the fandom wiki currently hosts every memoria card and is currently where most users go when they want to look up a card's information. if we want to also host gameplay information, i do not mind, but i think we should follow in the lead of cards having separate pages with that information, rather than users needing to look up cards on character pages. ''especially'' since character pages often do not have every memoria card that features that character.

<blockquote>aside from describing units with alternative appearances (ex; vampire yuna), i don't think we should be describing anything outside of a character's magical girl outfit, her witch/doppel, and maybe her school uniform. </blockquote>

:I don't think there's a need to describe the school uniform unless they're a character who "customizes" it. Mostly I'd say the description should cover costume-agnostic aspects (hair, eyes, build, etc), the magical girl costume, and for those that have one, the magical girl swimsuit.
:But while that's the bare minimum, I think it's fine to cover other costumes that they're seen in as well. This could include costumes that have a dedicated unit (eg vampire Yuna), costumes that have a dedicated story (eg tiger Shizuka), and even just random costumes that appear in a story (eg pyjamas, winter clothes, just casual clothes, etc). I don't think these are necessary to have, mind you, but they would be reasonable to include if someone feels like writing that description.

<blockquote>'''hard''' no on putting speculation on characters' canonical pages. this is how misinformation spreads and headcanons are passed on as fact.</blockquote>

:I really think it's fine to include some speculation on the main page as long as it's clearly marked using the Theory templates… but only small speculations, like bullet points or a short paragraph. Detailed theories definitely don't belong on the main page.

<blockquote>'''regarding memoria''' -- i think personal memoria with its gameplay information should be on the character's page, beneath the gameplay section. memoria that is ''not'' personal ''but otherwise showcases the character in some capacity'' should be in the gallery subpage. the fandom wiki currently hosts every memoria card and is currently where most users go when they want to look up a card's information. if we want to also host gameplay information, i do not mind, but i think we should follow in the lead of cards having separate pages with that information, rather than users needing to look up cards on character pages.

:I don't think the memoria/portrait list should be relegated to a subpage (unless that subpage is "the Magia Record/Exedra game info page"). It's easy to make it be initially collapsed though if you're just worried about space. And the way the lists are built automatically by the wiki software means that character pages actually ''will'' have every memoria card featuring that character (assuming they're all tagged properly).

I prefer to have everything about a character nominally on one page. There could be subpages for organization, but I'd prefer them to be transcluded into the main page to keep everything together. I know that the Magia Record and primary timelines are different, but the characters aren't especially different in the two timelines. We ''could'' link to the subpages instead of transcluding them, I suppose; it's not what I'd prefer, but I guess it would work. (This would be like how many pages link to their gallery instead of directly including it.)

Yes, no matter if we put the info on the main page or a /Magia Record subpage, the Template should be expanded.

I have an attempt? on my [[User:TheresaFrog421/Sandbox#Testing out Record Stats|Sandbox page]] but its rough, I think the Card display is good, the only character that has 1 card is the valentines Kuro, and she's an outlier anyway so I don't think we should accommodate the whole template for her.

It's probably easy to tell that I used the Exedra template we have as inspo, but that's because I just like it tbh.

Tbh Im fully okay with the Doppel being out of the template, just still in the game section, thats because I don't think the way I implemented it, is very good :sob:

I'm sure there's useful stuff that could be added to the template that I didn't add. Also treat my design like the infobox I made, its not a working Template. - [[User:TheresaFrog421|TheresaFrog421]] ([[User talk:TheresaFrog421|talk]]) 18:29, 24 November 2025 (UTC)

That mockup's not bad. There's the question of how an EX skill would be inserted into it though, and it feels a bit weird that Connect/Magia are side-by-side but only Doppel gets its own row. I also agree that the Doppel Info section isn't great, but it's not terrible, I guess… I think I wouldn't give the English and Japanese text equal weight like that though. Maybe put it in tabs like in the Witch template. ~ [[User:Celtic Minstrel|Celtic Minstrel]] ([[User talk:Celtic Minstrel|talk]]) 20:12, 24 November 2025 (UTC)

I decided to fully remove the Doppel info section (after being deadset on it being there), even if it looked good I think it should be separate from the Game Info, the same way the Spirit Enhancement Data is separate. I also moved the Doppel/2nd Magia next to the Connect and Magia, it looks way better. I think the current look is best.

The last thing I see a problem with is the EX skill, mostly the scaling, because it doesnt fit with the other skills, that are scaled by the unit rarity. I think I could do it like the previous doppel/like how we have the crystalis on the exedra template, but I honestly prefer the first idea.

i'm just going to address one thing here, because it's all i have the time for right now --

<blockquote>I really think it's fine to include some speculation on the main page as long as it's clearly marked using the Theory templates… but only small speculations, like bullet points or a short paragraph. Detailed theories definitely don't belong on the main page.</blockquote>
i really hate to be harsh, but allowing speculation and headcanon is why this wiki is treated as a joke in a lot of serious fan spaces. ''no'', the wiki should not be allowing random users to insert their personal speculation onto canonical character pages, directly next to canonical information. this is how misinformation is confused for canon. this is how misinformation ''has spread and continues to spread'' throughout the english fandom. i know that this wiki was made simply to compile old 4chan speculation from when the anime was still airing, not to act as an objective information source as it is attempting to now, which is why, to stay true to the site's roots and to the nature of this fanbase in general, i am not against the idea of a subpage (ie, Yuna Kureha/Speculation) to compile these things. but ''not'' on the canon pages. ''not'' directly beside canonical information, disclaimer or no.

the amount of ''very incorrect'' speculation and other information on this wiki is why i decided to attempt to pitch in. if the wiki continues to allow blatant headcanon on pages, then i am sorry, but i don't think that there is much to be done to clean it up. if this comes off as rude, then i apologize.

'''Re: Everything:''' I really agree that there's a lot of speculation and incorrect information overall. A sleek new infobox to not confuse all the meta facts versus the in-universe facts would be great.

For the powers, there's been a lot of cases where something was a misundertsanding, or just incorrect. There was the time Karin couldn't steal magic items even though she stole grief seeds in her mss, there was the assumption that Himena could do coordinator stuff because she synthesizes powers, there was Yuna being immune to fire because of one CG, there was Sudachi teleporting because she grabbed Shizuka once, etc. I think it's a good idea to not only go through all of the characters, but to also label when something is in their story, or their record animations, or even in cases where it is only their magia archive entries (Gunhild comes to mind)

Frankly, I think we should also do away with spoiler tags for text. The wiki page is meant for spoilers. I think that if there is any spoiler tag stuff left, the tags at the start of the articles (with clear labeling of which media is being spoiled). And even then it should only be for the latest media. Forgive me but I think stuff like Arc 1 should be public knowledge by now.

Speculation doesn't deserve to be next to canon material, as that makes it super confusing. I think a section for ==Speculation== or even a sub-page would be ideal. If it were up to me, it would be next to Trivia or something like that. Community theories are welcome, but not when placed next to canon.

As for replacing record event summaries with transcripts, that would solve a lot of issues, especially since Exedra events are already getting that treatment. I think the available summaries should still have a place somewhere, but maybe a sub-section or sub-page lik /plot. Even then, a lot of them use different languages, come from weird places like 4chan, but if they're listed at the top then a reader would know what to expect.

Frankly, a way to remove a lot of speculation would be to use references. 99% of wikis already use them. Forive me if I don't know the tools or guidelines for the wiki, but I have a plan for everything after the formats / templates / other details are decided upon:

# Phase 0: We decide on the rules for this cleanup plan that I have listed below. If anyone wants to change it, I'm willing to do so.

# Phase 1: Set the new rules (Before w start editing)
## We need to finalize the details on the infobox that doesn't confuse meta facts and in-universe facts. Once it's ready, we make it the official template for everyone. Make a list of the characters to go through and implement this into one by one.
## Write the Style Giude: We need one page that spells out the exact order for sections (like putting Speculation next to Trivia, or on its own sub-page) and what goes where. This will stop people from just adding stuff randomly.
## Remove the Spoiler Tags: As a rule, we should do away with spoiler tags for text. The wiki is for spoilers. We can have one clear warning at the top of an article, but stuff like Arc 1 should be public knowledge by now.

# Phase 2: Make a Master List and THrow Away the Junk
## List Everything: We make a master list of every character, event, and topic page. We tag them all with a <nowiki>[[Category:Cleanup Needed]]</nowiki> so we know what’s left to do.
## Delete the Meme Pages: We go through the list and immediately tag any pages that are just for memes or jokes with <nowiki>[[Category:Deletion Candidate]]</nowiki> or something. Then we delete them. No reason to keep stuff like Poorf*g if you ask me, this isn;t 4chan. Alternatively, a page specifically for these meme stuff can be made.

# Phase 3: The Actual Cleanup (Page-by-Page)

This is where we take pages from the Cleanup Needed list and move them through stages.

For a CHARACTER PAGE:

Step 1:

Read the page and mark every case of misunderstanding or incorrect info. We all know the ones: like Karin not being able to steal magic items, references to Livia's husbad, etc.

Figure out what needs references and if one can't be found, we ask around then remove it if we can't find the reference for it.

Step 2:

Fix the Powers: We go through the Powers section and label when something is in their story, their Record animations, or just from their Magia Archive entries (like with Gunhild). We remove anything that’s just a guess, but I think it's enough to just say things like "Accordig to Magia Archive, Ranka's unique magic is blah blah blah. This might likely mean that blah blah lah"

Cut the Speculation: As I said before, we move any theorycrafting off the main page, or at least its own sub-section for the character since a lot of characters won't have any speculation.

Add the New Infobox and Layout: We put in the new sleek infobox and reorganize the page to follow the new section order.

Add References: We add sources for everything. This is the best way to kill baseless claims.

Step 3: Final Check.

Someone else checks the page to make sure it’s clean and follows all the new rules. Then it gets marked as don eor the category for the cleanup needed is removed.

For an EVENT PAGE:

Step 1: As Before

Step 2:

Replace the Summary with a Transcript: As for replacing Record event summaries with transcripts, that would solve a lot of issues. The main page should have the full transcript, just like Exedra events are already getting that treatment.

Archive Old Summaries: The available summaries should still have a place somewhere, but on a /plot sub-section or sub-page. At the top, we list where they came from—like if they're from 4chan or use different languages—so a reader knows what to expect at least. Making summaries of the events would be the lengthiest process we could ever hope to achieve, but transcripts would circumvent that issue.

Step 3: Final check.

Phase 4: Track Progress

We use the category system to track everything. We’ll have categories like Cleanup In Progress and Cleanup Verified so everyone can see what’s left to do.

The main Wiki Cleanup page will have a list showing our progress, or even templates we've agreed to use, etc.

Once a page is done, we can just keep track of events and new stuff that would change the page's status quo

I believe this plan is straightforward. If most people are up for it, (and after we've decided on what standards we'll use) we can continue. What do you all think? [[User:Sweet Beanie|Sweet Beanie]] ([[User talk:Sweet Beanie|talk]]) 14:11, 26 November 2025 (UTC)

----

I agree with the plan, tho we still have a lot to decide on.

:1. Where do the Memoria and Portraits go?
I still believe it should be the gallery, them having a certain character in themselves doesnt actually mean anything unless theyre personal/unique, now I also know that the Memoria don't really appear anywhere else but the character pages, so I can understand why the info should still be kept, but the tables are VERY big, its usually not too much of an issue because of the game character pages (like '''Sayaka in Record''' or '''Iroha in Exedra''') these help split these out but together they're way too big, now obviously this can be fixed by just collapsing them from the start, but then they would be awkardly placed in the game info. The Gallery pages are already giant, so these tables being in them wouldnt be that weird.

:2. Speculation
I agree with Sweet Beanie, that it should be a section of the page somewhere low, most speculation is too small to warrant a whole subpage for it. I think we could even hide them in something like the spoiler boxes we have, just to make SURE nobody mistakes it for official info. I do believe Speculation can exist on this wiki, like the whole Nighthawk is Kuroe and AQ is Alina thing, but I agree that it shouldnt be weaved in with trivia.

:3. Record Game Section
To be fair I think this one is decided on, just needs actual working on, like the [[Template:Magia Record Stats|Stats Template]] being updated (I could do it IF I UNDERSTOOD THE TEMPLATE), the doppels, personal memoria and costume stories, none of that is done yet. Also where the game sections are, I believe they can be on the main page, the info is always hidden anyway, tho the naming on the current mockup page feels rough, but I know that making it ==Game Info== and then ===Magireco=== might make it look weirder, with how small the headers would be.

About the event summaries and transcripts I guess I'm more for transcripts too, but I dont really know how to handle that, so I'll just stay out of this. - [[User:TheresaFrog421|TheresaFrog421]] ([[User talk:TheresaFrog421|talk]]) 16:08, 26 November 2025 (UTC)

-----

I only have two things to say about SweetBeanie's proposal, which mostly sounds good:

# I'm against deleting the "binbou-chan" page. It was already moved to the Community namespace in any case, so I don't think anyone will be mistaking it for canon.
# I'm against putting event transcripts on event pages. An event page should at most summarize the plot of the event. The existing event pages are way to verbose in their so-called "summaries" - a summary should be at most five paragraphs and definitely not several sections. Then it can link to the transcript on a separate page, for people who want it. And sure, we can also link to the older "summaries" as well. (They are not summaries though. They are a description of the entire event. I'm not sure what the word is for this, but "summary" is not it.)

I do like the idea of having a separate section for "Speculation". It would go after "Trivia", and would always use the theory templates. It would be omitted if there is no speculation. I'd also say that we should limit such speculation to only "highly plausible" theories. It's hard to say what makes a theory "highly plausible", but I'd say it at least needs to have multiple points of support in canon. If there are more off-the-wall theories to cover, like the "Nighthawk is Kuroe and AQ is Alina" theory, they could go on a separate page if someone really wants them to be on the wiki, but that sort of thing doesn't belong on the main page for sure.

Not putting any speculation whatsoever on the main page isn't great because there are some things that are technically speculation (as canon doesn't officially confirm it) but which appear to be an obvious consequence of some aspect of canon. Of course, if we decide these things aren't speculation at all, we could revist the issue of speculation on the main page. (Sorry, I don't have an example off the top of my head.)

I get why people would want to make the claim based on that, but I don't think any of those can be seen as more than just coincidences. Lots of people like strawberry milk, for example. And lots of people draw art. Admittedly there aren't very many that can make labyrinths, but there's no reason to assume that Alina is unique in that regard (even if she is unique in that regard amongst canon characters). Besides, isn't being part of a large group actually very ''unlike'' Alina? A-Q's personality in general is very unlike Alina, in fact. In short… sure, I can see the argument, but a pile of coincidences isn't really enough to merit putting it on Alina's or A-Q's main page.

For the Memoria and Portraits, I think it would be reasonable to have a sub-page for it entirely. There's way too many of them. We can have them like: Sayaka Miki/Memoria.[[User:Sweet Beanie|Sweet Beanie]] ([[User talk:Sweet Beanie|talk]]) 14:33, 27 November 2025 (UTC)

I'm not sure how good of an idea this is, but maybe we should directly change (or add an option in-) [[Template:Magia Record Memoria List]] and [[Template:Magia Exedra Portrait List]] to be smaller and simpler, to fit into a gallery page nicely. Having a separate page for memoria/portraits seems nice but would that mean that Candy (who has a total of 1 memoria and 3 portraits) should get her own page too? I think there's just too many witches/characters that have a small ammount of memoria/portraits to justify each one of them getting a page for those. In my idea the new templates would look more like the <nowiki><gallery></nowiki> syntax (again to fit into the galleries) and only keep the name and rarity of the memoria/portrait. This does sacrifice details which is not good but the detail is kind of the root of our problem. The details would still be visible on the memoria's/portrait's page, which in my opinion is okay enough. To be fair I have no idea how this would be done. - [[User:TheresaFrog421|TheresaFrog421]] ([[User talk:TheresaFrog421|talk]]) 00:52, 14 February 2026 (UTC)

Hmm… there's no See Also section either… they could go in References, but that doesn't quite fit.

----

There might be too many External links in some cases? Like Iroha is gonna have WAY too many, my only suggestion is that we either put them in the unit pages (maybe with <nowiki><noinclude></nowiki>) or get rid of them, but I guess since they're here in the first place, someone does care about them.

Also I believe the Infobox is fully finished! As of now its on [[Template:Infobox character/Test]] and fully documented. I decided to add unique colors to the infobox just so it looks nicer, we do that for Witches already so why not for everyone.

As of now I believe the only things to migrate before we can fully start this are Trivia and the External Links sections, but tbh I dont wanna do it. I have a lot of time but I already migrated all the Magireco Units into their own pages and all images so I believe its fair (╥﹏╥). - [[User:TheresaFrog421|TheresaFrog421]] ([[User talk:TheresaFrog421|talk]]) 15:18, 13 March 2026 (UTC)

I don't understand. Why would Iroha have so many external links? Why would any page have a lot of external links at the bottom (as opposed to sprinkled throughout)? ~ [[User:Celtic Minstrel|Celtic Minstrel]] ([[User talk:Celtic Minstrel|talk]]) 17:01, 15 March 2026 (UTC)

----

Iroha has so many because of how many record units she has, and yeah I agree that putting them on the bottom is worse, but I dont really know what you mean by sprinkled throughout? If you mean like what I said, where they would just be on the unit's page then yeah, I agree.

Also I have another thing I want to talk about, infobox images, cause right now we have pretty tight rules of what we use for them, with that usually being their appearance in their original media. But I think it would just be easier AND look better if we didnt do it this way. NOW I understand, right now we have '''In Magia Record''' pages, so I understand why the manga characters don't use images from record, as to differentiate the pages, but... after we get rid of them there should be nothing stopping us from using them. I already tested a LOT of characters with the infobox, and they all look way better when they use the profile images from record than just the colorless images from their original mangas. Its not like those images arent drawn by their artists, and theyre not Magia Record exclusive either, I mean Yuma has her art reused for her 3star Kioku for Exedra. Also there are pages that already break the rules such as Umika using an image from Madoka Magica Online. There are exceptions, such as the suzune characters already having colored images in their infoboxes, so I wouldnt change them, and also characters like Minou, her [[:File:Card 40244 l.png|profile image]] is pretty cluttered, and idk if it would be good to use it in the infobox.

You… haven't really answered the question of why Iroha would have so many external links at the bottom. I also don't know why you took "sprinkled throughout" to mean "on the unit's page" either. I probably wouldn't be asking if I knew what the links were.

I don't think the infobox image rules are as tight as you're saying. I know I've been saying that, ideally, the infobox image should be taken from the original media or auxiliary materials associated with it (like promotional materials for example). That's my opinion; was it really an actual rule? I do think it's typically better to have a colour image when available, though. Preferably still from or related to the original media. I definitely don't think it's good to turn things into "every character page now features an image from Magia Exedra in the infobox".

~ [[User:Celtic Minstrel|Celtic Minstrel]] ([[User talk:Celtic Minstrel|talk]]) 13:29, 14 April 2026 (UTC)

----

For why Iroha would have so many I said "Iroha has so many because of how many record units she has", and for why at the bottom, thats just because that's how they are now. Right now the links are at the bottom of the pages. If I took the sprinkled throughout wrongly then just explain it T-T, and if you don't know what links I'm talking about, I'm talking about the external links to youtube videos that appear at the bottom of character/old unit pages (ex: [[Iroha Tamaki#External links]]). I (also) said that I wouldnt mind just not keeping them but if they're there, that means someone cares about them.

The infobox thing is not an actual rule, its just that when you said it, I treated it like one, so dont mind the wording. You're right that using images from the original media would be preffered, but sometimes the Magireco images are just better, they represent the characters better (because they're colored). You're right about Exedra, but like I said, the profile images from Magireco (that I was saying are the images we should use) are drawn by their og artists, I wouldnt choose using a 3D render over a 2D one (unless we dont have any other like [[Yotsugi Ononoki]] right now), and its not even the case for Sumire and Fuka, where they still use their 2D images.

Okay, so bundling them at the bottom of the page definitely isn't the best look, though it's also nice to have them all together in one place… hmm… I could see some of them being moved to unit pages, perhaps.

I think this could even be a section separate from External Links, or even a separate page, which links to videos for everything related to a particular character.

Ultimately I don't know which approach is best. All three (four?) of the ones I just mentioned have significant downsides. Putting them at the bottom of the page (whether in External Links or a separate section) sorta looks like clutter and takes up a lot of space. Putting them on the unit pages makes them much, much less visible, and thus hard to find. Putting them on a separate page means a new page for every Magia Record/Exedra character to hold these links.

~ [[User:Celtic Minstrel|Celtic Minstrel]] ([[User talk:Celtic Minstrel|talk]]) 13:59, 14 April 2026 (UTC)

----

Maybe one page where ALL external links are all in one place? It would be VERY cluttered, but we could use the <nowiki>{{#ev:youtube||}}</nowiki> to make it look better. Imo putting them in unit pages is the most "correct" way of doing this, but this idea seems good too in my opinion. It would be called '''Gallery:Magia Record/Videos''' or something like that (definitely needs a better name). I'm not sure how it would be better to split up the videos though, by character, by type of animation or just by units. Idk in my opinion its the best way just because it doesnt clutter up any other page, but it also has the problem of being hard to find. What do you think?

- [[User:TheresaFrog421|TheresaFrog421]] ([[User talk:TheresaFrog421|talk]]) 14:23, 14 April 2026 (UTC)

----

Hmm, that's not a bad idea – using the Gallery namespace for videos seems like a pretty reasonable thing to do.

As you say, the actual organization of the Gallery page (or pages) could be done in a number of different ways, but whatever way is chosen, it can be linked to in the '''See Also''' section on all Magia Record pages.

My thought on organization would be to split it into the following pages:

* [[Gallery:Magia Record/Main Story Videos]] – divide the page into 5 sections for Main Story Arc 1, Another Story Arc 1, Main Story Arc 2, Another Story Arc 2, and Puella Historia
* [[Gallery:Magia Record/Event Story Videos]] – divide the page into sections by topic (eg Summer, Valentines, Tanabata) or year; Scene 0 could go here too, or maybe on a subpage of its own
* [[Gallery:Magia Record/Magical Girl Story Videos]] – divide the page into sections by faction or city, perhaps? Costume stories can go here too.
* [[Gallery:Magia Record/Magical Girl Quotes]] – as above

There are a lot of other options too, and I'm not sure if the above list is comprehensive. (And I realize that the first two items on the above list weren't what we were directly discussing here, but it does make sense to deal with them in the same way.)

We could then do a similar breakdown for Magia Exedra. Probably one page per section in the in-game Story Gallery.

I think your list is perfect, its really only missing transformation and battle animations (Magias, Doppels and 2nd Magias), though they could go under one page (like right now in the Exeternal Links sections theyre both under ''Gameplay Videos'').

Also I dont see a need to split the character based pages by anything really, but if by anything I would just split them the same way that theyre split on [[Magia Record Characters]].

The Magia Record Characters split doesn't really work if you're grouping by character – despite the name, that page is a list of ''units'', not characters, so the same character appears in several different places.

~ [[User:Celtic Minstrel|Celtic Minstrel]] ([[User talk:Celtic Minstrel|talk]]) 23:14, 14 April 2026 (UTC)

I meant the way the characters are split on there, without the units, so like ''Arc 1'', ''Arc 2'', ''Puella Historia'', ''Side Story'' and all that (just with some changes like not merging all the manga characters together).

Hmm… I suppose that ''might'' be okay, since it's just a list of links for each character… unless you were thinking of using the Youtube embed code and formatting it like a gallery? In that case it'd probably be better to break them down into smaller categories than "by arc" would produce.

I would prefer to use the Youtube embed code yes, I dont really see why we should split them THAT much though? Most characters will not have a lot of videos, plus we have the pages split by type of videos already.

Well, videos probably take up more space than a character icon, right? Maybe I'm wrong about this… they definitely take up more space than a list of links though.

But, I suppose it would be better to actually see it before making a final judgement.

Having seen what you did, I can say: I think it's very bad. There are way, way, waaay too many headers. I think having one header per character is a no go… and without one header per character, it may indeed make sense to subdivide some of those sections.

Sorry – I'm still not sure quite how best to divide them. Like, there are some obvious subdivisions (Crescent Moon Villa, Wings of the Magius, Nanaka's team, Mito's trio), but most of them aren't so clear; and even the ones that clear might be a bit too much.

Another option would be to ''not'' subdivide them at all – just make it an alphabetical list of all characters, like on the ages page.

~ [[User:Celtic Minstrel|Celtic Minstrel]] ([[User talk:Celtic Minstrel|talk]]) 20:21, 2 May 2026 (UTC)

By the way – this isn't related to the above question, but I think it would be worth making an **Appellations** section part of the standard layout – like on Emily's page, for a more extreme example. It would cover both how the character refers to others (for example, Kanagi usually uses the surname with -kun, except with those she's especially close to, in which case she uses the surname alone), and how others refer to the character. ~ [[User:Celtic Minstrel|Celtic Minstrel]] ([[User talk:Celtic Minstrel|talk]]) 18:34, 3 May 2026 (UTC)

----

That seems like useful info, but I think that info could just go into ''Personality and Traits''? Emily could get a subsection just for her nicknames list but I feel like for others this should just go to ''Personality and Traits''. Though maybe it should be a subsection of ''Personality and Traits''? I don't think this is a bad idea, just not as its own section.

This isn't related to anything previous too, but should we have a to-do list on top of the [[Puella Magi Wiki:Wiki Cleanup 2025/Article formatting|main page]]? It would be clearer what's being done/what is planned, cause right now its not that clear.

Yeah, I think it makes sense for it to be a subsection of Personality and Traits. Emily is a bit of an outlier in that she has a unique nickname for everyone, but I think quite a few characters have unique nicknames for at least a few people, so I think it's worth a separate section. That said, perhaps there are some characters where it would amount to a single line and thus a whole section might be excessive… but regardless, I think it's good to get that info in there.

As for a to-do list, that's a great idea! ~ [[User:Celtic Minstrel|Celtic Minstrel]] ([[User talk:Celtic Minstrel|talk]]) 12:59, 4 May 2026 (UTC)

Oh god I just remembered something we need to discuss, how do we make sure we dont edit pages at the same time and cause edit conflicts? I know we currently plan to categorize the pages that need fixing, so a DPL could be an easy list maker for us, but I was thinking maybe we should just make a regular list, that people can edit to write their username next to a page, save the edit, go edit the page, and when theyre done they delete the page from the list and claim another one. Again this probably has flaws im not thinking about right now, but I really dont want edit conflicts to happen. I also have no idea how many people will do this???

I'd think the main thing to be worried about is someone making a small correction while you're rearranging the page, since there's no way to tell that you're currently working on it. The only thing you can really do about that is look at the change they made and manually make the same change in your copy (if it still applies).

The list you proposed for assigning pages to certain people makes sense if we expect multiple people to work on reformatting, but it looks like there may only be one or two people working on that, so it wouldn't have much of a benefit.

Do you have any idea how to even check if other people want to do this too? I know I do, but with how we're the only ones talking here I'm worried T_T

I'd like to help, but it is a bit unclear what the template/format that's been decided on is. I specifically avoided this discussion because it got a bit too lengthy so I imagine others did the same too. Many pages have issues like having the side story section repeated multiple times, etc. Nobody would have issues with streamlining character pages at all. I'd like to ask:

# what is the ultimate decision on character sub-pages? Is it still necessary to have a page family for a character? I'll make up a version for Yu to use her as my example, just imagine she appeared outside Magia Record, has many alts in Magia Record and also in Exedra (and yeah I also know we're using the full name for her, but just ignore that for the example, also just to clarify this version is tedious and too much in my opinion):
## Yu
### Yu in Magia Record
#### Yu (Kimono)
#### Yu (Windrider)
#### Yu (Scene 0)
#### Ultimate Yu
#### Holy Yu
#### Rumor Yu
#### Yu and Shi Duo
### Yu in Magia Exedra
#### Yu/Winter Killer

Btw for this I just suggest we consolidate it into a singular character page, which will have the entries for magia record, exedra, alts, duos, etc. That's how every other wiki usually has them.

# Second Question: for the parts like character history, appearances, symbolism/observations, can we start with some pages just to showcase what we mean to achieve? We can use characters like Mami or Sayaka to show that of course, but I brought up Yu specifically because her page is much more complete than others' with her backstory, appearances, personality, etc.

As for the character edit order, we can just call dibs and split it by a weekly basis. We can just check if the characters we've chosen to do have been called dibs on by Sunday overall, then if not, they're free real-estate. We can also check if anyone has started working on them with edits that very day. A masterlist for the characters, and tasks which have to be done would be helpful too.

Thank you for wanting to help.

For your first question we already decided to delete most of the pages, you can see how the planned pages will look on [[Puella Magi Wiki:Wiki Cleanup 2025/Article formatting#Article Mockup|the main page of this project]]. We will keep pages like Ultimate Madoka and Holy Mami, because they are distinct enough, and restricting them to their main forms is unnecessary. The Magia Record units already have their own pages, separate from the '''X (Variant)''' or '''X in Magia Record''' pages.

For your second question, we already the [[Puella Magi Wiki:Wiki Cleanup 2025/Article formatting#Article Mockup|Article Mockup on the main page]], but if you mean a more detailed one (as in with direct and correct info), then feel free to either edit the mockup, or make your own based on it.

If you want to see more things that are planned, see the To-do list on the main page, Its still WIP, but its based off your original list.

(I forgot to comment on the edit order) I don't really know what you mean? Do you mean like people choose their characters on Sunday, or do they choose them throughout the week and only start working on them after Sunday, or something else completelly?

- [[User:TheresaFrog421|TheresaFrog421]] ([[User talk:TheresaFrog421|talk]]) 10:01, 5 May 2026 (UTC)

Yeah, I meant specifically something like "Hey I'll do Puella Care so don't touch those." but if we want to be more planned about it, by using a list of characters/pages to consolidate, and then a simple note next to it, and if it's not gotten started within the week noted, their name is removed and someone else takes it.

Like this:
* Iroha Tamaki
** <del>Iroha Tamaki in Magia Record - Sweet Beanie</del>
** Iroha Tamaki in Magia Exedra - Sweet Beanie

And then after the sub-pages are consolidated, then all of Iroha is done. There also needs to be someone who just fixes up the main character's page, but only after the alts are integrated in there. When that also happens we can do the del tag like I did with record. In the example I showed, I finished Record Iroha and am planning on doing Exedra Iroha next. If I haven't even started by Sunday, or whenever it is that someone else feels like is a long enough time, someone can just put their name there and get to it.

For this we can have a few stages with lists to keep up the quality for every character. Like we can have:
# to be selected (the pool of unselected articles)
# in development (someone puts their name here next to the moved page name, articles shouldn't be listed here without someone's username next to it)
# integrated into main article (for the alts mostly, some unimportant characters like Rion can staright up skip this cuz they only have the one unit in one game, but this can also be used for alt outfits and such)
# quality assurance (just final check, or we put an article here if someone else feels like they're done with it but you feel like it still needs work)
# done

As for the Shizuka Mockup, I can see that her New Years alt isn't there. I think that's a missed opportunity to not have a hundred pages with minimal information on them. It would easily fit below the "In Magia Record" section and the same goes for Kioku alts like say Hallowen Mami. But if we decide against it, we should list the alts in the main pages at least and leave those versions solely for gameplay stuff, since there are alts with different powers and stuff but who only appear once. I think that details like story stuff and different powers should be kept in the main character page regardless.

I also suggest that for characters with heavy symbolism like Pernelle, we can have the "Observations" (or whatever title we wanna use for that section) right above trivia, or below history. However that section may now be the Notes part so that may be unnecessary to begin with.

I hope this is coherent.

OMG Wait I saw that NY Shizuka is there and so are the Mami exedra alts. Nevermind me I just can't read apparently. Maybe making the tabs colored to match the uni/alt colors would be nice but otherwise it's all gucci. Sorry again. ~ [[User:Sweet Beanie|Sweet Beanie]] ([[User talk:Sweet Beanie|talk]]) 15:21, 5 May 2026 (UTC)

Okay first of all, we're not working on the '''X in Magia Record''' and '''X in Magia Exedra''' pages at all, we're planning to delete them/make them redirects. This is why all the units are on the mockup already, the list will only consist of the main pages of characters.

I agree with (and like) the list idea, should it be a table or just a normal list? A table would be easier to keep control of in my opinion.

Also... I should have asked this before, but should we focus on actually filling the pages with info, or just leave them as stubs, cause I know it would be best to just straight up finish them, but I don't know a lot of characters' personalities and powers, so i fear I would only format the pages but not actually write the things :(

Suggestion: If you go with a list where people claim articles, I'd recommend tagging the ones you're doing with your signature, ie by adding <nowiki>~~~~</nowiki> at the end of the line. That automatically drops in a date as well, so you can see at a glance ''when'' it was claimed. ~ [[User:Celtic Minstrel|Celtic Minstrel]] ([[User talk:Celtic Minstrel|talk]]) 17:59, 5 May 2026 (UTC)

I forgot to respond to some things oops

<blockquote>I also suggest that for characters with heavy symbolism like Pernelle, we can have the "Observations"</blockquote>
A problem I think someone called out before, is that Observations and Trivia are mistaken for eachother (I know Im guilty of this too). I don't really know what Observations are? (as dumb as it sound), they just seem like assumptions, that might aswell be considered speculation at times. Sometimes its just analyses, which seems useful enough, and I think that makes it deserve its own section? Trivia is supposed to be ''facts'', so things like analyses do deserve their own section imo too.

<blockquote>Maybe making the tabs colored to match the uni/alt colors would be nice</blockquote>
I don't really know what the units colors would be? A lot of units would probably repeat colors and just end up not making a big difference, I dont think we should do this.

Oh yeah, you mentioned this in the observations part, but what are Notes gonna be? I was thinking they're Notes like how [[Nighthawk]] has a note about the wiki using they/them, or how [[Crépuscule de La Reine]] has a note about the wiki using that page name for her, even when her name is actually Isabeau. So more so notes about the wiki's handling of characters than anything in universe (this is a question mostly to Celtic).

I guess having the symbolism stuff in Trivia is an option.

Specifically I said to have alt colors for the tabs because I missed them the first few times. I imagine a lot of people would read an article and miss it entirely in the same way. Frankly I think the wiki could use some more styling in general, but that's just me

I think the notes would be for things like Tart vs Darc, or Nighthawk's and A-Q's pronouns, but yeah most characters won't have any at all.

~ [[User:Sweet Beanie|Sweet Beanie]] ([[User talk:Sweet Beanie|talk]]) 13:18, 6 May 2026 (UTC)

I VERY MUCH agree that the wiki could use more styling (that's why I made the infoboxes have colors specific to the character). The problem is, tabbers are really annoying to work with, they dont accept ANY code into the tab titles (it will always convert it to pure text as if you used nowiki on it). So I'm pretty sure this is impossible T-T. I'm not sure if there's a way to update/upgrade the tabber extension to allow styling, but for now I don't see a real way to do that.

- [[User:TheresaFrog421|TheresaFrog421]] ([[User talk:TheresaFrog421|talk]]) 14:22, 6 May 2026 (UTC)

What…? There's plenty of leeway to apply styling to the tabs without needing to put markup in the tabber. Sure, it's unfortunate that that's not supported, but it's not needed for simple styling.

The way to do it would be something like this:

<pre>
<templatestyles src="WitchTabs.css" />
<div class="something">
<tabber>
|-| Whatever =
Content
</tabber>
</div>
</pre>

Then on the page Template:WitchTabs.css, add code similar to the following:

<pre>
.something > .tabber__tab {
put style rules here
}
</pre>

I completelly forgot about this sorry T_T. But thank you for bringing my hope back, I still don't really know ''what'' colors the unit names could have? (and how the template would even get them). I did have an idea of my own, but I know little about css and I'm not sure how possible it is. The idea was that the tabs would be little boxes, with not only the full name of the units (cause right now they're shortened) but also card images as the box's backgrounds?

These are my (poorly made) prototypes to what I have in mind:

<div style='border: solid 1.5px light-dark(black, white); height:75px; width:200px; display:inline-block; overflow:hidden; text-align:center; position:relative;border-radius:35px;'><div style="opacity:0.6;position:relative;z-index:-1;bottom:30px;">[[File:Gtm487fe9hn51.png|200px]]</div><div style="position:relative;bottom:300px;font-size:20px">'''Shizuka Tokime'''</div></div>
<div style='border: solid 1.5px light-dark(black, white); height:75px; width:200px; display:inline-block; overflow:hidden; text-align:center; position:relative;border-radius:35px;'><div style="opacity:0.6;position:relative;z-index:-1;bottom:50px;">[[File:Card 11254 c.png|200px]]</div><div style="position:relative;bottom:300px;font-size:20px">'''Shizuka Tokime (First Sunrise)'''</div></div>

The problem with this system is that I have no idea how in the world the template would get the correct Card image, and how it would position it correctly (cause the examples I made are uniquely positioned). The only way I can think of making this, is having a template that would just be endless <nowiki>{{#switch}}</nowiki>'es that would have to be manually set for the card images and the positions. That's why I kinda think it's a bad idea T-T.

- [[User:TheresaFrog421|TheresaFrog421]] ([[User talk:TheresaFrog421|talk]]) 09:59, 7 May 2026 (UTC)

I think in the same way that Witches have their own colors for their new "cards," we can just attribute unit colors so that they can be different from each other. Let's say Iroha:
* Standard - can remain colorless, since that's where we start out at, but alternatively it can just be the color of the girl's hair.
* Swimsuit - Light blue
* x Yachiyo - yachiyo blue
* x Ui - muted or light ui pink
* x Kuroe - Kuroe purple
* Anime - Iroha pink, or a darker tone because of the doppel.
* Infinite - Yellow/"gold"

It's not meant for official purposes, but just for the units to be differentiated from each other. The same way we all just kinda decided to have the new witch cards have the colors that they do, we will decide on the unit colors we decide on.

Even if it isn't done, I don't think it's important ulitmately, compared to the organization of info.

Most of what you did there is probably doable, but I suspect putting an image background might be too much for pure CSS. It is certainly possible to use images as backgrounds in CSS, but I ''think'' that may not work properly in MediaWiki (I think I tried it before) when the image is a file asset uploaded to the wiki; even if it ''does'' work, it would break the "What links here?" mechanism (the link wouldn't be counted, so if the image is ever deleted, it could go unnoticed for quite awhile).

~ [[User:Celtic Minstrel|Celtic Minstrel]] ([[User talk:Celtic Minstrel|talk]]) 13:06, 7 May 2026 (UTC)

Yeah I fear my idea was too complicated anyway, could you try out Sweet Beanie's idea? The problem I see, is how the template would even ''know'' which colors to give what unit...

- [[User:TheresaFrog421|TheresaFrog421]] ([[User talk:TheresaFrog421|talk]]) 08:44, 8 May 2026 (UTC)

----

Any approach that gives each tab a different style is going to be tricky. You ''could'' do it using <code>:nth-child</code> selectors, but that means every page needs its own template stylesheet, which to me seems like a huge pain (though you could still put most of the CSS in a common stylesheet and only the colours in each page's own stylesheet). I'd recommend instead thinking of something where all the tabs are uniformly styled.

But if you're really, really attached to the idea of each unit having its own tab colour, I can give it a shot on one page as an example. Let me know (and preferably, suggest a page to use).

~ [[User:Celtic Minstrel|Celtic Minstrel]] ([[User talk:Celtic Minstrel|talk]]) 12:46, 8 May 2026 (UTC)

----

We can use pre-determined colors so that each page can use them. Maybe the six colors of the rainbow, then gray or something, or they just repeat. Or we could use the colors of the Holy Quintet to make them more iconic. Then we can repeat them or continue with Nagisa, Mabayu, Selma, Choka and the unnamed Kaiten Girl. That's just what I'd do. So it'd be pink, purple, yellow, blue, red, nagisa color, indigo, orange, green, kaiten girl color.

~ [[User:Sweet Beanie|Sweet Beanie]] ([[User talk:Sweet Beanie|talk]]) 16:21, 8 May 2026 (UTC)

----

I would choose the rainbow colors instead of the Holy Quintet ones, because yeah they're iconic, but I don't think they really make sense here?

Also I got another idea (T-T), maybe the template could take the tab name (so the unit name) and get the unit's icon by its name, then put it into that tab. It would basically look like this: <nowiki>[[File:{Unit name}_MR_Icon.png|100px]]</nowiki>. The Icon would appear above the name (probably shortened name). Again, I'm not sure how possible/annoying this is, just a suggestion 0.0

(Forgot to add something, if we make a page for Units and a page for Kioku, Icons would be needed anyway. Obviously we already have all Record icons, but they have frames that I don't like T_T)

Using a fixed set of colours is easy. Anything that requires differing setup per-page (like the icons you mentioned) would be a bit of a pain.

Could you try both? Like write both options on one css page, then take the code of [[Template:Magia Record Game Info]] and apply the css maybe on the project page? (Or your Sandbox page). I suggest just doing it for Iroha, she has every type of unit. I still think icon idea is a good one, so I dont want to just let it go.

I threw together a quick sample at [[User:Celtic Minstrel/Sandbox/TabStyling]]. After a bit of thought though, I think the icons probably can't be done in pure CSS the current software (unless they're uploaded independently of the wiki on the same hosting, like the fonts are, but that seems like a terrible idea).

~ [[User:Celtic Minstrel|Celtic Minstrel]] ([[User talk:Celtic Minstrel|talk]]) 17:13, 9 May 2026 (UTC)

I did manage to get the concept of the second version working, with the underline colours (it's very hard to see though because the Sanitized CSS model doesn't support setting the underline thickness, which is really annoying). If you wanted per-page customization, that would be the approach; but using icons or any sort of images for it probably isn't viable in the current software.

~ [[User:Celtic Minstrel|Celtic Minstrel]] ([[User talk:Celtic Minstrel|talk]]) 17:27, 9 May 2026 (UTC)

Okay I'll have to abandon the icons idea :‹. But I think I do like the colors idea way more now that I see an example, just not the rainbow part... Obviously the colors were quickly chosen just for the test and will be less saturated, but I do NOT like the look of the rainbow here T-T. It reminds me very much of how kids books overuse rainbows everywhere in them, it looks very tacky. My best suggestion for the colors is the gradient from the MagiReco logo, the one on Iroha.

Yes, I spent absolutely no time on choosing colours – I just selected named colours that roughly correspond to the rainbow. Of course, for the real thing we'd carefully choose each colour, and as you say they'd be much less saturated. The rainbow might still work with less saturated colours – I'm not sure.

Basing it on that blue to pink to yellow/orange gradient doesn't seem like a terrible idea, but I don't know if you'd get enough different colours out of that? It's up to whoever does it though.

Okay I got colors that I honestly like:

|width=100px height=100px style='background:rgba(118, 206, 240, 0.5);'| #76cef0 rgba(118, 206, 240, 0.5)

They are taken from the image, but more satured. I think they're really nice but I do think the second and fifth color are quite boring. - [[User:TheresaFrog421|TheresaFrog421]] ([[User talk:TheresaFrog421|talk]]) 18:12, 9 May 2026 (UTC)

I agree, I think the second set is the best. I think we're ready to port this into the actual template? I was thinking of making different colors for the Exedra template (when my suggestion was using the Magireco logo colors), but since these colors stray away from that idea anyway I think it would be okay if we used them for the Exedra template too. Also I think it would be better if the tabs didn't have borders? Like just the color would look better in my opinion.

Not really on topic, but also kinda? I really do wish this wiki had WAY more styling, because wdym we don't have a logo or an icon. Like the "icon" we do have is just a '''P''' on my laptop because of the site name (for some reason the page [[Kuro (くろ)]] shows an Iroha icon that Ive never seen on any other page tho????). Also I wish we had a "theme"? Like a background and stuff like that, I know the Exedra wiki has that, but they use Vector (2022) as their main skin, and we use Vector legacy (I use 2022). For example the [https://stardewvalleywiki.com/Stardew_Valley_Wiki Stardew Valley wiki] has a great look, and it looks like its in Vector legacy, I don't know if this is an extension or what, cause I haven't looked into it yet, but I do think this is something we should atleast consider doing.

I'm not completely sure (I think you might need to be logged in to see? Unless it can be determined from the developer console), but it looks like Stardew Valley is just using the Monobook theme.

Short of coding an entirely new theme, most customization to the MediaWiki theming is done by editing [[MediaWiki:Common.css]]. Since you don't have permission to edit that, however, you can experiment by creating a Common.css file in your user space, for example [[User:TheresaFrog421/Common.css]]. Once you get something you like, you can propose it to be moved to the main commons file. It's also possible to add rules that only apply to specific skins by creating pages like Monobook.css or Vector.css, if that seems necessary. (This works both in user space and global space.)

As for the wiki logo, I can agree this one's kind of lacklustre, but I don't really have any alternate suggestions. I think only [[User:0x99]] can change the logo.

We're really close to starting, the only big thing left to do is to move trivia from the Magireco and Exedra pages to the main character pages. Could someone start doing that?

Also one thing I want to know, should the History sections be formatted like the current Timeline articles? As in it follows the character's story chronologically instead of when each story were released. I think this would be cleaner, but could be annoying (in cases like Oriko Magica where its a weirdly placed timeline).

- [[User:TheresaFrog421|TheresaFrog421]] ([[User talk:TheresaFrog421|talk]]) 12:58, 9 July 2026 (UTC)

: I'd vote against it since that format is meant to be filled with less detail and would overall just look ugly in my opinion, especially since characters like Iroha have a lot of information. Yu and Sudachi's pages are pretty much finished and filled with the normal text format so I think we can continue from there. I propose not naming each Magia Record event with a header and to also just begin paragraphs with "In [[Magia Record - Last Bird's Hope]], ..." If the timelines are different, we can make a header for each one. For Oriko it would just be an extra header for Extra Story since Oriko Magica and Sadness Prayer tell the same story (one just has more scenes and better art). ~ [[User:Sweet Beanie|Sweet Beanie]] ([[User talk:Sweet Beanie|talk]]) 13:15, 9 July 2026 (UTC)

If the history sections will be formatted as "In {media}" should we change the Game sections to not have the "In" in them?

Something like this:

===In Magia Record===

==Transcripts==

''Re: transcripts'' (or rather, fair use?)

Sorry for digging up this topic, but I sort of wonder if a transcript would cross the acceptable use line into an actual copyright infringement. The sad fact here is that I'm physically located in Japan, and there's use law here. There has been a case where a company successfully sued people for posting transcripts online (e.g. [https://www.watch.impress.co.jp/docs/news/1635590.html this Kadokawa's case], although another news source mentioned that this was due to [https://www.itmedia.co.jp/news/articles/2411/12/news134.html the owners profiting from it]). From this perspective, a summary or a synopsis is more preferable. (I appreciated the effort to put up the transcript, but I want to make sure the wiki stays clear of possible legal issues.)

Looking around in other Japanese wiki websites for social games, most of them use cards, event illustrations, and character sprites from the game, so I guess this is as far as acceptable use goes. (Since we're on this topic, we probably should review all the scanned material stuff in this wiki as well. A few pages or a snippet of a page is probably fine, but an entire scan may be a bit too much...)

-- [[User:0x99|0x99]] ([[User talk:0x99|talk]]) 16:00, 4 December 2025 (UTC)
:I had been wondering about that too. The game is free to play, and we're not profiting from it, and having access to the transcripts can be quite useful; so I do hope it's not a problem. But I can definitely understand the concern.
:And when it comes to scanned pages, I really think it's better to just cut out any images and upload them separately, similar to what I did with the anime guidebook scan [[Mikazuki_Villa#Other|here]] (I would've deleted the original scan, but figured some of the text that didn't make it into the crops may be worth translating first). If the page is entirely text, I don't think it should be uploaded at all (there may or may not be an argument for posting a transcription of the text, but posting the scan as an image is just silly). ~ [[User:Celtic Minstrel|Celtic Minstrel]] ([[User talk:Celtic Minstrel|talk]]) 19:13, 4 December 2025 (UTC)
::: Yeah, I think only cutting the relevant part is the safest way for scans.

The problem here is that the legal jurisdiction of a website is based on the jurisdiction of its operator (that would be me in this case), and Japan's version of this does not shield the operator from such liability. (Which is why it may be fine for other wikis, as long as they don't operate in Japan).
::: As for existing transcripts, I know that some do exist on the wiki, but there were few enough (amusingly, I wasn't aware of Madoka Online ones until now), and some are more of a quotation (e.g., [[The Rebellion Story/Transcript]]).

== Monster Pages ==

I was planning on starting this topic later, but I'm impatient and wanna get opinions on this - I think "Monster" pages should look way more similar to our planned character pages and use the same infobox. Last year I created [[Template:Witch Card]] which was because of complaints about [[Template:Card]], and while I like the template, I don't like a lot of parts that come with it. For example I don't like how pages like [[Kriemhild Fausut]] and [[Paola]] have (imo) worse images at the front just because of how we make the pages look (the whole appearances/descriptions divide).

So in my opinion, when we start changing the character pages, we should change those pages too. I have a conceptual infobox on my [[User:TheresaFrog421/Sandbox|sandbox page]], so please take a look before just rejecting the idea. Also sections like ''Appearance'' and ''Personality and Traits'' would be really good for Witch pages.

Now obviously there are a lot of issues that come with this too.

* '''Descriptions'''
The descriptions would definitely not go into the infobox, for obvious reasons. I think it would be easy to make a collapsible template (or just a plain table) that would easily store them.

* '''Familiars'''
This is a bigger issue, and Im not fully sure how to approach it. Right now my plan is to keep them as a part of the Witch's page, but have them be way more detached than they are right now, with their own sections and infobox. Im worried this would look very messy, but thats my solution for now. They would only have their own ''Appearance'', ''Personality and Traits'' and (maybe) ''Powers and Abilities'' sections, as the others would be better if they were general.

This is an even bigger change than last year with the Witch Card, so please let me know what you think. I'd rather have this idea be shut down than ignored. - [[User:TheresaFrog421|TheresaFrog421]] ([[User talk:TheresaFrog421|talk]]) 17:15, 17 April 2026 (UTC)

I forgot one more issue -
* '''Multiple forms'''
I can't deny that the current look supports multiple forms of a Witch way better than my proposed one will, but my solution to this would be just putting the images in a tabber tag. What forms count towards this is imo something for discussion, cause for Homulilly I wouldnt put the first form of the Nutcracker Witch into the Infobox (only second form and the og witch from portable) but I would put both forms of Charlotte. Also would the less serious forms count into this, like Patricia's Excercise Witch or the Christmas Gertrud.

- [[User:TheresaFrog421|TheresaFrog421]] ([[User talk:TheresaFrog421|talk]]) 19:41, 17 April 2026 (UTC)

----

I can't say I'm overly a fan of this idea. At first, when I saw your sample, it seemed mostly neutral (but I was still more attached to the status quo). But once you noted the "Multiple Forms" issue, I realized that the infobox is just too small to handle that well. I don't understand why you'd exclude the first form of Homolilly?

Incidentally, for what you call "less serious" forms, in my opinion they're best treated as entirely separate witches that just happen to resemble the base witch. Maybe they don't deserve a page of their own; but a separate section at the bottom of Gertrud's page for "non-canon variants" or whatever you want to call them could be good.

I don't have an issue with adding ''Personality'' or ''Appearance'' sections to witch pages though.

~ [[User:Celtic Minstrel|Celtic Minstrel]] ([[User talk:Celtic Minstrel|talk]]) 17:08, 18 April 2026 (UTC)

----

You're right about the multiple forms problem, as its the worst one here, but I still think basing the way we treat Witches/Monsters by how many descriptions they have feels wrong... I guess this is a personal opinion, but the more I spend time with the current template the more I dislike it, its kinda uncontrolable (like squishing Candy's page makes her weirdly move), the backgrounds can be a problem (imo Shin and Zenobia blend too much into their backgrounds), and overall why do only Monsters get Appearances in their infobox? Like I said originally, I made the template, so I know Im complaining mostly about things I created, but I did highly base it off of the older template/the way the cards were being created, and obviously those were flawed too. I know there are 100% other ways to fix the things Im complaining about, but in my opinion, it would be so much more cleaner to use similar infoboxes to characters (obv with some different parameters). Again, the forms are a big issue, but its not like human characters dont have this issue too? The Holy Quintet all got redesigns for the new movie, and I was thinking that those should go into their infoboxes too once (or if) we get clean renders. I genuinely just think that there's too many issues with the current template and I think the infobox is the way to fix them, Im open for different (and maybe better) suggestion, but I really wanna sort this out.

:I forgot about Homulilly, what I meant was, that basically I would only put 2 images into the infobox, titled ''Mortal World Witch'' and ''Nutcracker Witch'', with only showing one form of the Nutcracker Witch. It is more correct to put both there, but I was thinking of being more minimalistic with it, right now I'm kinda conflicted with it...

- [[User:TheresaFrog421|TheresaFrog421]] ([[User talk:TheresaFrog421|talk]]) 17:37, 18 April 2026 (UTC)

----

Y'all please don't ignore this (not only adressing Celtic), I genuinely think the Witch/Monster pages need cleaning up. I mean Ai has a list of voice actors, but since she doesnt use the character infobox it has to be in trivia, which I think is ridiculous, the same goes for Izabel (/Michaela) and Bebe. In my opinion the way we treat the Monster pages fits for a wiki like the Magireco wiki or Exedra wiki, but in our case the Monsters arent just enemies, I mean Ai could have a full infobox, but since we dont treat her like we do with humans, she’s stuck with the template that stores less information. I mean the only thing that separates Ai and Sakurako is how they’re treated in Gameplay of Record and Exedra, so why does that affect how we treat her (and every other monster).

Back to the forms, I was thinking of ways to keep the infobox idea and separate the forms properly… I was thinking of splitting the pages if the Witches were distinct enough (So Kriemhild Gretchen would be split to Salvation and Despair, Homulilly to Mortal World and Nutcracker), but that would mean Shitori Egumo would be split too, which feels wrong? I dont think its the best idea, but its an idea. Like on my sandbox page, I would just put them in one infobox under tabbers.

Again this is an issue that could be fixed a different way, without using the same infoboxes as humans. - [[User:TheresaFrog421|TheresaFrog421]] ([[User talk:TheresaFrog421|talk]]) 13:50, 24 April 2026 (UTC)

Well, there's no reason we couldn't add an infobox for Ai and Sakurako (maybe even the default character infobox), but how does that extend to redoing ''all'' the witch/monster pages? Most of them aren't really characters, just faceless enemies. ~ [[User:Celtic Minstrel|Celtic Minstrel]] ([[User talk:Celtic Minstrel|talk]]) 17:44, 24 April 2026 (UTC)

----

I just don't think we should separate them that much. Most Witches have a personality, and a lot have a story and importance, I wouldn't really NOT call them characters. Now I do understand some parts where we dont "count" them as characters (like them not being under [[:Category:Characters]]), but like I said before, we're not a wiki where ''their role'' is an enemy. I understand why the Magireco wiki uses that look for their Witch pages ([https://magireco.fandom.com/wiki/Rebecca example]), because in the Game Magia Record, they're just an enemy. That wiki doesn't care about them as characters because theyre just enemies, but we're not a game wiki, so I don't really see how them being enemies in the story doesnt make them enough of characters to have a completely different infobox look.

== Todo List ==

Some comments on the new todo list…

* For Phase 2's "Delete the Meme Pages" I'd argue that it's already handled by the Community namespace, so we can remove that.
* Instead of "Category:Cleanup Needed" I think it should use a dedicated category, like "Category:Wiki Cleanup Project".
* The style guide would go in the "Project" namespace, or possibly the "Help" namespace.
* Phase 3 step 1 says "we all know the ones". That's an incorrect assumption. You can't assume everyone knows everything. This step may involve extensive discussion.
* I think it's reasonable to use the speculation box on the same page, but we should at least make sure there isn't any speculation outside of a speculation box (with the possible exception of very, very obvious logical deductions, but even then, be very careful, because what's obvious to one person may not be obvious to another).
* Why are Magia Record and Magia Exedra treated so differently in phase 5?
* If Magia Record Characters is going to lose its unit focus, I think there should be a new Magia Record Units page which is almost exactly what Characters is now (but omit the minor characters, which don't have units, and possibly the enemies, which likewise don't have units). The same could go for Magia Exedra Characters.

What's the reason for all of this? I don't think there's any reason why the infobox couldn't support all of those same parameters with the same meanings, and it would make the migration much easier if it did.

Regarding origin/residence, I'd argue there's merit in keeping both. They're often the same, but sometimes they're different.

I'll respond to the things I directly changed/added:

<blockquote>Why are Magia Record and Magia Exedra treated so differently in phase 5?</blockquote>

Well, because they don't work the same, if you mean the redirects, then thats just because of how Magia Record characters ARE units, while Magia Exedra characters arent units directly, they just have units. I don't see anything wrong with making them link to the character's first Kioku though. For every other point about the games in phase 5, its just because of how the Templates work/were made.

<blockquote>If Magia Record Characters is going to lose its unit focus, I think there should be a new Magia Record Units page</blockquote>

I agree, but there's a few issues. If it went into '''Magia Record Units''', all the unit pages would be subpages of it, and would have a link at the top of their page, which I think would be very ugly... This could be fixed if we maybe moved the unit pages to a ''namespace'' called "Magia Record Unit"? (obviously we'd have to do the same thing for Kioku). Also what about [[Magia Exedra Characters]] already displaying Kioku? I know it doesnt go into details but still.

As for everything in your second message (I dont want to put all that into a blockquote T-T).

It's just for easier use, right now in the new infobox, the age parameter's content doesn't link to the ''Characters by age'' pages, rather the first cell of the row does, I did this because of one character - [[Yuma (Mami Tomoe's Mundane Everyday Life)]], her age directly changes in the manga (like you can see on her [[Talk:Yuma (Mami Tomoe's Mundane Everyday Life)|talk page]]), this doesn't happen often (this might be the only character we know this happens to lol) but we should accommodate the template for that, that's why I just fused all the age parameters into one (well, all but agepage).

I just kinda did the same thing for the Witch parameters, the difference from age is that this parameter needs to link, but I think that just makes the parameter simpler. There is a problem with the Doppel though, cause it wouldnt support a note the same way the '''Character Details''' does... (I was thinking of maybe making it that so you can still add a note if you put the doppel name into square parenthesis and the template would somehow detect the name and separate it, the same way ''Magia Exedra Stats'' does it, but I havent looked into it and have no idea how it even works).

For the origin thing, its just that I dont really understand why someone would care about the characters hometown and not where they live currently, not like every page listens to that anyway (Iroha has Kamihama listed in there), changing the parameter would just keep it easier to see, and I don't think it's that hard to do.

<blockquote>Well, because they don't work the same, if you mean the redirects, then thats just because of how Magia Record characters ARE units, while Magia Exedra characters arent units directly, they just have units.</blockquote>
This doesn't make any sense whatsoever. I don't see any reasonable evidence for the claim that "Magia Record characters ARE units". There are clearly multiple units for the same character. I think I'd say that X in Magia Record should generally redirect to the character page, but X (Variant) could redirect to the unit page, and in some cases where there's more than one X in Magia Record for the same character (Homura mainly), perhaps those could point at the unit page too.

Making X in Magia Record redirect to the unit page isn't the ''worst'' thing to do, but in that case, it's still weird that X in Magia Exedra doesn't do the same.

There's also the option to just delete all the X in Magia Record and X in Magia Exedra pages. They're not really needed even as redirects in this system, right? The only reason to keep them would be to avoid link rot, but I bet there aren't that many places linking directly to them, so maybe those places can just be updated and the pages can be removed.

<blockquote>If it went into '''Magia Record Units''', all the unit pages would be subpages of it</blockquote>
Huh? Why? I mean, that certainly could be done, but it's not a given. Is there a reason for it? Your phrasing makes it sound like you think it ''shouldn't'' be done, so why are you assuming we'd have to do something you think is bad? I don't see what namespaces have to do with this, either.

<blockquote>It's just for easier use, right now in the new infobox, the age parameter's content doesn't link to the ''Characters by age'' pages, rather the first cell of the row doe…</blockquote>
I don't understand. This all seems tangential to the actual question… what, exactly, does fusing them make easier? Not fusing makes it easier to maintain a consistent style for notes. Fusing them makes this harder. Based on that it seems like fusing them isn't a good option, but maybe it brings something else to make up for that – what is that something else?

The same goes for the witch parameters. I don't understand how the change is an improvement. (I will admit that the witch parameters are quite weird though, so I'm open to some sort of change; just not sure that this is the one.)

<blockquote>There's also the option to just delete all the X in Magia Record and X in Magia Exedra pages. They're not really needed even as redirects in this system, right?</blockquote>

I was gonna argue about how they are still units and all, but I do fully agree with this. I know having redirects is useful, but I don't like redirects that are exist because of a previous way of handling things. We already have redirects that I think should just be wiped like the old Kioku pages (ex: [[Kush Irina in Magia Exedra/Seraphic Trial]]).

<blockquote>Huh? Why? I mean, that certainly could be done, but it's not a given. Is there a reason for it?

I don't see what namespaces have to do with this, either.</blockquote>

Okay I'll try to be more clear? I meant that if the page that collects all units like characters goes directly under the name '''Magia Record Units''', then all the separate unit pages would be that page's children, because they're all named '''Magia Record Units/{Unit name}'''. This would create a link on the unit pages back to '''Magia Record Units''', which like I said, wouldnt be good. The thing is, I don't think any other name for that page makes sense, that's why I suggested the custom namespace for the unit pages. I honestly would like to move them to a separate namespace, if I made it seem like I don't want to do it then I did something wrong cause I think its a good idea T-T. I'm not fully sure how custom namespaces even work, from what I remember they just kinda do nothing but help separate pages from the "main ones", and I think that would be a good thing for the unit pages (Obviously everything I just said also applies to Exedra and Kioku).

<blockquote>what, exactly, does fusing them make easier?</blockquote>

I understand ''why'' we let the templates do the formatting at times, like the Infobox I made separates '''name_en''', '''name_jp''' and '''name_romaji''', when in theory (and by the logic I apply to '''age''' and '''witch''') they could be one parameter with the Nihongo template being made by the user directly on a page... but obviously that's not the case, because that just makes it more annoying and unnecessarily complex, when a template is supposed to make things like this easy. So... why do I think this logic DOES apply to '''age''' and '''witch'''? Because its just... text, for witch, we already link a lot of stuff in the infobox like relatives and places, whats the point of forcing the Witch parameters to be so weird, where instead of:
<pre>
|witch=Yes
|witchlink=Maybe
|witchnote=No
</pre>
We can just have:
<pre>
|witch=[[Maybe|Yes]] (No)
</pre>
Is it an opinion that this is better??? Because I think it is, it allows way more flexibility in what's written there, and while I know that this might mean that more mistakes will happen, like someone not linking to the witch page correctly, but its still way more flexible and controllable. All of this applies to '''age''' too but it's not the exact same, what I meant by:

<blockquote>right now in the new infobox, the age parameter's content doesn't link to the ''Characters by age'' pages, rather the first cell of the row does</blockquote>

In ''Character Details'' the age is either forced to be a single number, or it's not counted as an exact age. I fused it to just be way more flexible too, because (like I said) there are characters that change ages, and no I don't think we should just type one of them as the main one and the other as a note, that's limiting ourself for no reason. I know that the direct age helped to link to the ''Character by age'' page sections, and while I think that's good, there's no point in limiting ourselves just for something that's not that important. Again, the Doppel parameter does really complicate things, but I fear we first need to discuss this before we get to that.

If things still sound confusing or I missed something Im sorry T-T

Okay, so I think I get what you meant with the Magia Record Units thing. You're assuming that the Magia Record units will be handled identically to the Magia Exedra units, where all units fall under one subpage. But then you say it would be bad for the unit page to link back to the list of units? Why would that be bad? Actually, it would probably be good if [[Magia Exedra Kioku]] also had a list of all units.

As for the age/witch question…

<blockquote>it allows way more flexibility in what's written there</blockquote>
Well, keep in mind that part of the point in doing it the other way is to ''remove'' flexibility, in favour of keeping the format consistent. So saying it allows more flexibility isn't really an argument in and of itself. Do you have reasons why you think the witch info needs more flexibility? I think you did give at least one reason for the age info…

<blockquote>there are characters that change ages, and no I don't think we should just type one of them as the main one and the other as a note</blockquote>
I'm not really sure what you mean by "change ages"? Magia Record/Exedra (in general) doesn't really have a progression of time – the girls don't age. Even if they did, it would seem a bit weird to give multiple ages in that case. And if you're talking about Yuma, the MTEL version is arguably a separate character who shares the same name. Or, do you mean that they might be a different age in other works? For example, you want to give Mami's age in MTEL or Different Story (1 year younger), or Yachiyo's age in Beginning Story (is that the right title?) or Crescent Memoria, etc.

Still, even if we need it to be more flexible, that doesn't necessarily mean we need to make it completely freeform.

I do agree that the witch/doppel situation is weird. The doppel parameter presumes the existence of a specific section on the page, after all.

The unit pages already have links on the top, to add another one would just be ugly. Do characters have a link at the top back to their character pages? no. Do Episodes have a link at the top back to their anime? no. This seems useless and would just disrupt the look of the pages in my opinion.

For ages - the MTEL Yuma is a different version, yes, but that's not important, in MTEL Yuma directly ages, she goes from 5 to 6, and I think that should be noted in the infobox like:
<pre>
5 (chapters # - #)
6 (chapter # onwards)
</pre>
I do agree that giving all ages to characters might be too much? Like with Yachiyo, I would 100% put both 12 and 19 in her infobox (because they're the most important), but I dont think we should put the other ages, at most for Crescent Memoria (which happens like 1/2 years before the main story right?). Obviously putting things like:
<pre>
1 (Opening scene #1)
4 (Opening scene #2)
6 (Opening scene #3)
14 (Madoka Magica)
</pre>
Is... no, but if the aging happens DURING the story like with Yuma, or we have stories with characters with known different ages (I think by that logic Breakpoint would count for Yachiyo and Mifuyu too), then yes, I believe they should be put into the infobox.

About the flexibility, yes that's what I meant with my "name argument", that the names aren't that flexible, but I think age and witch should be. Age and Witch in my opinion just have too many parameters, making any age that isnt a direct number use <code>approxage</code> just doesn't really make sense to me. Yes, uniformity is something we NEED, its a part of the wiki's big problems, but I dont think this would ruin it?? Most parameters ARE freeform already, and that's what makes the infobox comfortable to work with. The images are freeform, but they could be forced to lose the File prefix, the size and just be done automatically, but they're not as to not force weird situations where the image is too big and comes out small, or just ends up weird. We're already planning big changes to the wiki, so in my opinion we should fix small annoying things like this too, I understand why you dont like this idea, but I just think it's gonna be way less annoying to work with in the future (apart from doppels but well...).

???

Episodes having a link back to their anime sounds like a good thing, though? Why would that be considered bad?

What on earth does a character linking back to their character page mean? They ''are'' the character page… aren't they? There'd be a link to itself?

Anyway… so how do you propose we link to the character ages page? Doing that manually is going to be ''way'' more annoying and error-prone than doing it automatically, if you ask me. I get that you want to support multiple ages, but that could also be done with age_1, age_2, age_3, agenote_1, agenote_2, agenote_3 etc.

<blockquote>What on earth does a character linking back to their character page mean? They ''are'' the character page… aren't they? There'd be a link to itself?</blockquote>

Okay my bad, I didnt make it make sense cause I was writing this while tired T-T. What I meant was like if Iroha had a big link to [[Magia Record Characters]], because that's how it would look right now with the units. I still think the Unit and Kioku pages should be moved to special namespaces... I would be up for doing that, but it would be nicer to have someone who can move without leaving a redirect do it (Im not about to ask for admin permissions o_o).

<blockquote>Doing that manually is going to be ''way'' more annoying and error-prone than doing it automatically</blockquote>

Yeah, that's just the truth... But doing the age_1, agenote_1 would just be dumb. Most characters dont age, so the only thing to do would be moving their ''agenote'' to the ''age'' parameter, and changing ''approxage'' to ''age'' if its there. The characters that ''do'' age would be more complicated and error-prone like you said, but its still a very easy system. There's only 3 people wanting to work on this right now, and I doubt any of us would make those mistakes really, especially if the code would just be something like <code><nowiki>12 (Event Name) 18 (Breakpoint/Crescent Memoria) 19 (Main Story)</nowiki></code>.

I guess I just don't see the issues you see with these ideas.

Seems like you missed my point? Your example doesn't even link to the characters by age page. Automating that link is the primary reason I think merging the age field is a bad idea.

Why is age_1, agenote_1 etc dumb? It means you can put several in there and they all follow the same format automatically.

Another option though would be to technically merge the field, but write in the documentation that "content should be one or more invocations of Template:Age". Then make Template:Age that looks something like <code><nowiki>{{Age|42|estimated}}</nowiki></code> which expands to <code><nowiki>[[Characters by Age#42|42]] (estimated)</nowiki></code>. Maybe allow not using that template if the age is unknown or approximate, or maybe add an <code>approx=true</code> parameter for that case (depending on whether we want a common styling for it).

For the witch field I think it's not that big of a deal to merge them, having considered it a bit. The only question would be how we want to handle the doppel case (if at all) where there's no dedicated page for that witch, but… it could always be handled by redirects that just redirect back to the proper section on the same page, I guess.

<blockquote>Seems like you missed my point? Your example doesn't even link to the characters by age page. Automating that link is the primary reason I think merging the age field is a bad idea.</blockquote>

Yeah before in this conversation I said that the link to the ''Characters by Age'' page is on the first cell (the cell that just says "Age"). I would argue that this is better even if it makes it so that the link doesnt put you on that age's section, but honestly the idea of Template:Age might just solve this.

<blockquote>Maybe allow not using that template if the age is unknown or approximate</blockquote>

Template:Character Details already doesn't support putting "not basic" numbers into ''age'', so wouldnt we be able to just check if its a basic number?, if it is - it would link to the appropriate section, and if it isn't - it would link to the Unknown section the same way ''approxage'' does it on Template:Character Details.

For Doppels, that would be an easy solution, but I would prefer to keep it without the page reloading... I still don't know how that would work (and like before my only idea is to have the template somehow find and separate the name of the Doppel and everything else so it knows what should link and what shouldnt).

Oh yeah this isn't related to what we're talking about, but I think it would be a good idea if we had a Staff Template. Basically it would just be a big <nowiki>{{#switch}}</nowiki> that would change between any real person related to this series and choose a link for that person. The reason I think we should have this, is just to be consistent with links. I've seen it before where some pages link voice actors to japanese wikipedia, some to the english wikipedia, and other to different sites. It would be way easier if they were all in one place, and pages would just use the template like <nowiki>{{Staff|Chiwa Saitou}}</nowiki> instead of having to link every name on every page.

While I wait for the response on my idea for Template:Staff I have more questions about ''Magia Record Units'' and ''Magia Exedra Kioku''.

I'm still set on the namespaces idea for the unit pages themself, I already ran the "linking to the root page" argument to the dirt, but also why would they be subpages of that page, it felt okay when we didn't plan on even creating pages like these, but now it just feels wrong to have them be subpages of a page that collects them. Again, for the moving of the pages into that namespace, it would 100% be the best idea to get someone who can choose to not leave redirects to do it, but again I think that's only you, and unless you can give me permissions temporarily, then its either you do it or we leave redirects behind T-T (and break the existing ones). If I could get the permissions I would also just delete the redirects that the pages already have, as I remember moving them quite a lot. One more thing, after those pages get created, should [[Magia Record Characters]] and [[Magia Exedra Characters]] still use the special character cell templates? I can see the argument for Exedra to stay the same, but Record definitely shouldn't.

I still don't really understand your arguments at all. It might be a bit unusual for every unit page to have a breadcrumb link back to [[Magia Record Units]], but I don't see why it would feel wrong – linking back to the collection page seems completely normal to me. The only thing that might be slightly odd is that the link is a breadcrumb link, but I don't think that's really an issue?

About the character cell templates, I think they're basically made for the unit focus, so they should be used on [[Magia Record Units]]; but when it comes to [[Magia Record Characters]], perhaps the basic character cell template is better? I think the same applies to Magia Exedra, probably.

You don't need to worry about redirects. The redirects can just be deleted later. I think you actually have permission to delete the redirects yourself? But do make sure to update anything linking to them first (using the What Links Here feature – click on the redirect, click on the "redirected from" link at the top, and then click on "What Links Here" in the toolbar).

<blockquote>The only thing that might be slightly odd is that the link is a breadcrumb link</blockquote>

Yeah that's my main problem, tbf I can just move the pages myself and deal with the redirects, I mean I'm the one who sees a problem with this so I should do it. I'll probably put all the redirects under the deletion category though, I want them gone T-T.

<blockquote>perhaps the basic character cell template is better?</blockquote>

Yeah, it would make more sense there now. For Exedra characters I'm not really sure though, since the Exedra character cells are meant for Characters, not Kioku.

<blockquote>By the way, where to the witch, uwasa, and kimochi lists belong? Do they go on [[Magia Record Characters]], on [[Magia Record Units]], or on a new page?</blockquote>

Definitely keep them on [[Magia Record Characters]]. Unless you mean when treating them like Enemies... I think pages like ''Magia Record Enemies'' and ''Magia Exedra Enemies'' could make sense, but I think they would only if we had something similar to the unit pages but for enemies. Idk what info would go there though? Obviously the descriptions and sprites, but there's not that much left, so that's why even though I've been thinking about this, I've never suggested it.

Well, to be quite honest, if you dislike that breadcrumb link ''that'' much, then there's a very, ''very'' simple solution – just don't make them subpages in the first place. But I really don't think it's that much of a problem.

I went ahead and did some edits on [[Magia Record Characters]], so it's now solely characters and not units; the original unit list, unaltered, is now on [[Magia Record Units]].

I do agree that it would be nice to have [[Magia Record Enemies]] and/or [[Magia Exedra Enemies]] if we have enough information to gather about them (we should have it for Exedra, not sure about Record). If we don't have enough to make dedicated pages for each unit, I think it could be sufficient to just gather all that info onto the list page? That said, the enemies are mostly witches or familiars, so those do have a page.

Yeah I know the breadcrumb links are my fault T-T, for now I'll just leave the pages be, but I still plan on changing them into a namespace.

For Magia Record Characters, I think the variants that we consider "major" should stay, as in Holy Mami, Infinite Iroha, Uwasa Tsuruno and so on.

The cells for the units and Kioku should definitely be changed (well maybe not ''changed'' as they should just be new templates imo), they need:
* Proper linking, so in the template you just write the name, and it links to the page with the prefix.
* Rarities
* Elements
* Roles (Kioku only)
* Characters (Kioku only, though this isnt that important really)

Yeah as much as I'd like to have separate pages for enemy info, there's really little info. I mean what would Corbeau have apart from her sprite T-T. If I remember correctly the Fandom Magireco wiki had enemy pages that also had items attached to some of them (I have to say remember cause I cant check, fandom is down for some reason), so I guess that's extra information, but again, it's not a lot.

Um… I hate to break this to you, but… adding a new namespace isn't something you can do – it can only be done by editing the wiki settings directly, which means direct access to the server is needed. You could ask [User:0x99]] to add one, but having separate namespaces for each game seems kind of silly? Unless your plan is to "fake" a namespace by just adding a common prefix to each page name.

I'm of two minds on the variants in [[Magia Record Characters]]. They aren't really separate characters, so I think it's better to remove them. (Possibly, even Ultimate Madoka and Devil Homura.) But they certainly are more "major" than all the simple alt units, so I could probably accept putting them back.

Feel free to add new parameters to [[Template:Magia Record Character Cell]] and use them however you think is appropriate. I think perhaps we should add a description= parameter to [[Template:Simple Character Cell]] as well, to add a bit more info for the side characters.

Side note: if Fandom is becoming unstable, perhaps we should get someone to archive the Magia Record fandom (it can be done from [https://magireco.fandom.com/wiki/Special:Export here] but I can't seem to work out how to make it gather every page on the entire wiki). It's working for me right now (though I can't sign in for some reason), but we definitely don't want to lose all that information just because Fandom goes crazy or whatever. Without signing in I can't tell if people have still been editing it though.

Okay yeah if the namespaces take this much effort then I'll just leave them be T-T. Honestly I'm used to the breadcrumb link right now, and I don't mind it as much as I did before, so for now I don't plan on changing it.

As for the Enemy pages, I have a lot of thoughts. I still want them to be separate pages that would be transcluded on the pages of the characters like the Unit pages we have right now. I've recently changed how we list enemies on the Main Quest pages, and added enemies to event pages, all those boxes could easily link to the enemy pages, and even be good for collecting an "appearances" list, it works right now with using a dpl to check which pages use the icons, but if they just linked to the pages it would be easier. For Magical girl enemies, yeah we shouldn't have pages for them, the boxes could just link to the unit pages, as I know Record has a lot of units that act as enemies (at most Rebellion Mami from Exedra might be a problem, cause she doesn't have a unit). I still don't know how the template should look, as I tried a lot of looks and I haven't liked them very much T-T. I think someone else should make the template...

I think technically the magical girls as enemies are actually unique enemies that just happen to look like the magical girl (that is, they're not reusing the data from the playable character). But even assuming that's true, we don't need to reflect that in the way our wiki is laid out – I agree with just making the enemy boxes link to the playable unit pages in that case. ~ [[User:Celtic Minstrel|Celtic Minstrel]] ([[User talk:Celtic Minstrel|talk]]) 19:43, 22 May 2026 (UTC)

Making the Magireco enemy pages is way harder than Exedra ones I fear ._. A lot of enemies just don't have the same sprites, from what I know there are 3 types of sprites we could use:
# The Archive ones, the ones that are named <code>Enemy #### l.png</code>, these are the fewest but are also the best ones, as they always have the full enemy in and when it has multiple versions it has all of them in one sprite, but a lot of enemies just don't have them.
# The ones that are named <code>Chara #### ## b.png</code>, these are way more common, and even special variants like the New Year's Commoner's Horse have them, but they sometimes cut out parts of the full enemy.
# Put-together textures, as in a texture file put together by code and made into an image, but obviously, we don't have them. I don't know how to even make them, but I guess it would be something similar to Live2Ds, and we have a lot of those here. This would be the best, as EACH enemy gets a full sprite, but... We're probably not gonna have them...
Right now I guess it would be best to use the Archive images for the enemies that have them, and the Chara ones for the ones that don't. Also- do we separate the special variants the same way Exedra does? (like Christmas Oscars and FM Kamihama) Exedra separates them, but I think Record doesn't, and I know they share ID's with their normal forms, so that's an issue too.

(Adding stuff I forgot...)

There are also enemies that just don't have either, like the Tart Magica Soldiers, or the Puella Historia enemies. I know the Magireco wiki has sprites for some of them, but idk if that's done with the third sprite type I described or it's actually somewhere in the files.

Okay, I'm a little unsure what you're getting at here. Can you give some specific examples of the issues?
*An "Enemy" one that has multiple versions in one sprite
*A "Chara" one that's cropped
*The texture sources of an enemy that could be put together. (External link, if possible. No point in uploading it to the wiki only to delete it again.)
*Enemies that "just don't have either"
Did sprites in Magia Record use Live2d? If so, then we should definitely not upload any of the source textures, and should instead upload a render of the Live2d model – just like we do with conversation models. I think someone linked to a site that has these sprites awhile ago, but I don't remember who or where. It would probably be fine to use the other types as a stand-in where available, though.

Next, about special variants and IDs. First of all, I don't really care if the special variants have the same ID as their normal forms. The ID is an internal detail that doesn't matter in the slightest, so let's ignore that. (If you want to put that internal detail in the article, fine, but don't make strange decisions based on it.) I don't know what you mean by claiming that Magia Record does not separate them, but if they're logically a different enemy, then I'd say they should have a different page. Just because it's a reskin doesn't mean it's the same enemy – Matasaburo is a reskin of Candy but is clearly treated as a separate thing.

Okay for examples:
<blockquote>An "Enemy" one that has multiple versions in one sprite</blockquote>

By this I meant how some enemies have multiple looks in one sprite like:
<gallery>
File:Enemy 7101 l.png
File:Enemy 7202 l.png
</gallery>
I don't think this is an issue though.

<blockquote>A "Chara" one that's cropped</blockquote>
Easily the sprites of the Kimochi are very visibly cropped, because they dont have the "Enemy" sprites, just the "Chara" ones
<gallery>
File:Chara 6012 00 b.png
File:Chara 6003 01 b.png|Only the tail but still
</gallery>

<blockquote>The texture sources of an enemy that could be put together.</blockquote>

Here is [https://pi.rika.ren/magica/resource/image_native/mini/anime_v2/mini_700500_l0.png The Uwasa of the Anonymous Mail], obviously we have a sprite for this so we don't need to do anything with this. But this [https://pi.rika.ren/magica/resource/image_native/mini/anime_v2/mini_710112_l0.png Christmas Oscar] is one we don't have a sprite of, and I wish we had (though probably not for the enemy page itself just for the gallery). For an example of an enemy that doesn't have the first two types od sprites, is [https://magireco.fandom.com/wiki/Magical_Girl_(Executive) Magical Girl (Executive)], this is a link to her page on the record wiki where she doesn't have a sprite, and [https://pi.rika.ren/magica/resource/image_native/mini/anime_v2/mini_770700_l0.png this] is her texture. I dont think they're considered Live2D, I just compared them cause I think it works similarly (I dont know how it works so-)

<blockquote>I dont think they're considered Live2D</blockquote>It would be very strange for them to use a 2D skeletal animation system for the conversation sprites and a ''different'' 2D skeletal animation system for the battle sprites (though it's totally possible I guess). Live2D can totally animate small sprites like the ones used in Magia Record – I hadn't heard that they used it for that, but it sounds like they probably did.

The magical girl executive you linked appears to be a conversation sprite, not a battle sprite? Though maybe the texture you linked to ''is'' a battle sprite.

Anyway, if Magia Record was using Live2D (or similar) for their sprites as well, then what we should really have on the wiki is a render of the Live2D model. When "Enemy" or "Chara" sprites exist that work, we can use them instead (at least temporarily), but in general, I think we should prefer the proper render. And by the way – I don't think the ones with multiple sprites in one are good to use. They can be fine on a temporary basis, but again, I think we should prefer a direct render of the Live2D model.

I found [https://kyu.gay/ this], which has the executive, but doesn't have any of the enemies. (Note: the certificate is expired, so you'd need to override the security warning to view it.) I think it could be possible to download that and view enemy sprites locally as long as you have the assets.

I agree that we should use the renders, I look at the "Enemy" sprites the same way I do at [[:File:Shadow Witch Enemy Portrait.png|the Chamber of Light enemy images from Exedra]], where it's just a good sprite to ''represent'' the enemy, but it's not perfect. If we do get the rendered sprites, should we have all of them on the enemy pages? (like all the Oscars on their enemy page) Because if we do, then we definitely use tabbers, and that has another problem- the tab names, though... I feel like it should be okay if we use a the same character for every tab (maybe something invisible like <code>⠀</code>) and make each tab a different color with css like we did with the Kioku and Unit tabs.

Also two more questions, should the descriptions go into the enemy pages? They ''would'' fit there, as descriptions are directly tied to enemies, but at the same time the Witch and Uwasa pages already have them in their boxes, and a lot of enemies wouldn't have those descriptions. The second question is- should [[Template:Magia Exedra Enemy Small]] be also used for the Record enemies, as in rename the template and add a 'game' parameter to link correctly. I think it would be better than making another template that would mostly look the same, but I don't know what types of enemies are in Record. I know there are enemies that are said to be Bosses, but that's it.

About the renders again, I know I won't be able to make them, as I know nothing about this kind of stuff T_T

I might be missing something, but I don't understand why you want tabs here. Do each of the variations of the enemy have different stats or description or something like that? If we're only showing off the sprites themselves, a gallery would make more sense.

By descriptions, do you mean the witch descriptions? I guess those go on the witch pages.

Reusing the template exactly seems like an odd choice to me. We could do it, but it's not like we have a guarantee that all future games would forever fit the same format (though we can just not use it in the future if that happens).

I want tabs only for the sprites if the enemy has multiple of them, it's useful in cases like the Bartels in Exedra where they have 3 main appearances, so putting only one would make it look odd.

For the descriptions I meant all enemy descriptions so for Uwasa and Familiars too.

About the template its okay to just have them be separate, it won't change that much (Though I still want to rename the template idk what I was thinking with Enemy Small).

Okay so- I found a possible way to render these sprites, and some work! But... not all of them
<gallery>
File:Record Enemy 720804.png|Echo
File:Record Enemy 720700.png|Echo
File:Record Enemy 710900.png|Coco
</gallery>
The Echos look perfect but the Coco... yeah it's been through stuff. I think I know why, it's because the texture of the echos don't have any alternative sprites for when they attack or something, but Coco does, so they all render at the same time. Also the brain of the Coco renders weirdly low, idk i'll try to get this fixed but right now I'm flopping. (Also dont delete these files I or someone else will just upload new versions of them when the sprites are fixed)

My first guess would be that the method you're using is missing a step that selects the pose to use, so it's coming out as the equivalent of a T-pose (meaning the Echo sprites could also be a bit off). But, without more information about what you did, I can't be certain. I might be able to offer some other suggestions if you explain what you did, though.

Also, as a side note, for some of these sprites I've been wondering if it would make sense to render them in multiple poses – especially the ones where there are dramatic transformations during attacking, such as Candy's head turning into a mouth full of teeth.

I won't go into that much detail, but the script I use takes text from the .plist file of the enemy and using it assembles the sprite. The plist details which parts of the texture go where, it has 8 parameters: width, height, originalWidth, originalHeight, x, y, offsetX and offsetY. The script takes the x y, goes to those coordinates of the texture, cuts it out with the width and height and then positions it with the offset parameters. I believe the problem for the placement is the fact that I ignored originalWidth and originalHeight, but that's just because I have NO idea what those are, they sometimes seem random and sometimes are the exact same in every part. About the too many parts showing up problem, parts are usually labeled by numbers, but some also have letters (so like 'parts00' and 'parts01a' 'parts01b') I'm pretty sure that I should be able to easily find which ones are the idle/normal ones, but I'm not sure (I've already tried the a ones and it didnt work)

- [[User:TheresaFrog421|TheresaFrog421]] ([[User talk:TheresaFrog421|talk]]) 21:39, 24 May 2026 (UTC)

I have 2 theories, either the plist is just not enough to make a sprite in some cases, as sprites like the christmas Oscar ive sent a link to before have all of their parts in the same place, or the originalWidth and Height affect position/scale of each part. I can't tell if im stupid or its complicated, but I know that the first Echo i sent a render of, each part has the exact same originalWidth and originalHeight, while cases where the parts look wrongly arranged usually each part has a different originalWidth and height. Please give me all ideas you can think of how to affect the scale/position of the parts using the original parameters cause I'm losing it over here.

I think I'm giving up T-T. Nothing I tried even came close to working, If you want to I could share the files (I did it all on Godot, a free game engine), but I fear I literally don't know how to continue. I think that my theory about the plist not being enough was right, and that maybe the ExportJson file would be, but its too big and my laptop takes too long to load it in.

Hmm. Since you mentioned a plist file, I found documentation of the [https://www.codeandweb.com/texturepacker/knowledgebase/cocos2d-plist-file-format Cocos2D spritesheet format] hoping it would help, but what you described doesn't appear to conform to that format, so I'm not sure where to go from here... are the files on rika-ren? If you could point to them, perhaps I could take a quick look.

~ [[User:Celtic Minstrel|Celtic Minstrel]] ([[User talk:Celtic Minstrel|talk]]) 18:49, 25 May 2026 (UTC)

Also, side note – you mentioned using Godot because it was free, but it can't hurt to try downloading Cocos Creator and see if it can just open them. No idea if it would work, but someone said somewhere that Magia Record was made in Cocos2d, so it ''might'' work. And AFAICT Cocos2d is also free.

~ [[User:Celtic Minstrel|Celtic Minstrel]] ([[User talk:Celtic Minstrel|talk]]) 18:54, 25 May 2026 (UTC)

The textures and .plist files are [https://pi.rika.ren/magica/resource/image_native/mini/anime_v2/ here on rika-ren], there's a lot more than just those two, like the ExpandJson I mentioned, but I thought the plist would be enough. I'll experiment with the Cocos2d app, but I also used godot because I knew how to code in there, while I won't know how to code here, so I make no promises (you should try too).

- [[User:TheresaFrog421|TheresaFrog421]] ([[User talk:TheresaFrog421|talk]]) 18:59, 25 May 2026 (UTC)

Hmmm okay, I'm not sure. A couple observations though…

* I notice that the ExportJson and the .vfxj lack a 0 in the filename that the plist (and the png) has. No idea what that means.
* The plist ''does'' look like the general structure is the same as the Cocos2D sprite format, but the content of each frame is completely different. Maybe it's an older version of the format? I dunno.

Celtic Minstrel: Fix typo

This page documents the recent past of the Original Universe, covering the events of Film 0, which ends with Homura making her contract.

''The timeline of this Universe continues with [[Timeline/Original/Scene 0]].''

As most of the backstories for the different spinoffs take place during the same times as each other, discerning when specific events take place is not possible. For this reason, most have been delegated to their own sections based on where they happen, with exceptions to certain events which have taken place further in the past compared to most others. The placement of similar events in Magia Record, such as Another Daze and Cross Connection, were also used to create this order of events. Additionally, due to Kazumi Magica's cast interacting with Kyoko and Mami, it is also possible to make correlations between the two groups.

==The Recent Past==
* Around fifteen years before present day, [[Remi Shiina]] makes a contract with Kyubey and becomes a Magical Girl. At some point, her little sister either witnesses, or is told of this and eventually Remi disappears, likely dying in battle, or becoming a Witch herself. Her sister tells this to Remi's friend, [[Misako Ishijima]], who would later on in life grow up to be a detective and find other evidence of Magical Girls.<ref name='kaz16'>Shown in [[Kazumi Magica Chapter 16: Strawberry Risotto]]</ref><ref name="kazextra4">Shown in [[Kazumi Magica Extra Chapter: Hotcake]]</ref>
* For her third birthday, [[Satomi Usagi]] receives a cat named Sare.<ref name='kaz10'>Shown in [[Kazumi Magica Chapter 10: Chi-Chin Purin]]</ref>
* As a child in California, while playing cowboy Kanna Hijiri plays with a loaded gun with her neighbors' kids. The gun accidentally fires, and the bullet ricochets off a vase, killing her neighbors. This incident would haunt her for the rest of her life.<ref name='kaz10'/>
* At some point in Mitakihara, [[Inui Itsumi]] becomes a Magical Girl. The details are unknown, but she would continue to get into a relationship with a man named Shou, who himself had a bad reputation and mistreat many people. She would often ignore her Magical Girl duties for Shou, even though she would live into her young adulthood despite being a Magical Girl.<ref name='nagisaswish'>Hinted at in [[Magia Record Event - Nagisa's Wish|Nagisa's Wish]]</ref>
[[File:Memoria 1590.jpg|thumb]]
* During a festival night, [[Tsubaki Mikoto]] loses her parents to a Witch that sings nursery rhymes while engulfing them in flames. Though Tsubaki makes her contract as a Magical Girl with the wish for the power to defeat Witches, which grants her fire-based powers, she is unable to do anything to save them and the Witch escapes. She is then taken in by a distant relative [[Yoriko Yanagi]], a housewife and kendo instructor at her family's dojo in the town of Sazanka. Yoriko raises Tsubaki like her own daughter and trains her in kendo for physical skill and mental discipline. Tsubaki herself trains with the purpose of defeating the Witch that killed her parents.<ref name="Tsubakiss">Shown in [[Tsubaki Mikoto in Magia Record#Side Story|Tsubaki's Side Story]]</ref>
** Tsubaki also meets and trains alongside [[Ichika Kasumi]], another student at the dojo who becomes her first Magical Girl companion and self-proclaimed rival. Their relationship starts rocky, but with kendo practice and Magical Girl battles, they grow to respect and motivate each other, becoming true friends and rivals who push one another to improve. When Tsubaki tracks down the Witch that kills her parents and enters its Labyrinth for revenge, Yoriko follows out of concern, but Tsubaki and Ichika are so focused on defeating the Witch that they cannot protect her. While they do defeat the Witch, they are unable to retrieve Yoriko's body from the Labyrinth before it disappears, but Ichika manages to bring back Yoriko's bell charm as a keepsake for Tsubaki, which Tsubaki even knew the the "stay together forever" chant for.<ref name="Tsubakiss"/>
* What became of Ichika is unknown, but it is likely that she died in battle, or became a Witch while Tsubaki wasn't there to witness it.<ref name="Tsubakiss"/>
* [[Chisato Shion]]'s father writes children's books, but they fail to reach a wide audience or success, and he starts to physically abuse his wife.<ref name='suz5'>Shown in [[Suzune Magica Chapter 5: Regret]]</ref>
* After their mother's death, Tsubaki is hired as a nanny by their father for Matsuri and Kagari. She takes care of them, catering to Matsuri's special needs due to her blindness, as well as Kagari's emotional needs. One of the stories she read them, about a kind-hearted witch chastised by villagers, was written by Chisato's father.<ref name='suz12'>Shown in [[Suzune Magica Chapter 12: Reunion]]</ref>
* [[Michiru Kazusa]]'s grandmother Maia, named after the eldest Pleiades sister, married a Japanese man, then stayed in Japan after his death, living next to Michiru's Italian-food-and-soccer-loving parents. Overjoyed at Michiru's birth, Maia adopts her after her parents' fatal accident when Michiru is five years old. On the funeral night at their vacation home, Maia shows Michiru the Pleiades as "her sisters' stars," revealing she was the eldest of seven and now the last alive. Michiru cries jealously that she can never have sisters, but Maia comforts her that family is made by connected hearts, not just blood, and invites Michiru to live as her child. They hug tearfully and Maia gives her rosetta bread, said to have fallen as the Rosetta Meteora. They share it in the kitchen, and Maia hopes Kazumi finds trustworthy friends, her own Pleiades.<ref name="kazextra3">Shown in [[Kazumi Magica Extra Chapter: Rosetta Meteora]]</ref>
* [[Suzune Amano]] and her parents are caught in a Witch's Labyrinth, and Tsubaki manages to save her. Afterwards, Tsubaki takes care of her, and Suzune makes a wish to Kyubey to be a Magical Girl just like Tsubaki.<ref name='suz7'>Shown in [[Suzune Magica Chapter 7: Truth]]</ref>
* Tsubaki quits her job as a nanny in order to take care of Suzune, and after many battles, she turns into a Witch and Suzune is forced to kill her.<ref name='suz7'/><ref name='suz12'/><ref name='suz14'>Shown in [[Suzune Magica Chapter 14: Breakdown]]</ref>
[[File:Memoria 1421.jpg|thumb|left]]
* Kyubey approaches Matsuri and Kagari, and Matsuri makes a wish to be able to see, and the two go outside to look for Tsubaki. They find Suzune wearing Tsubaki's charm and Kyubey tells them that she turned into a Witch and Suzune killed her. While Kagari isolates herself, Matsuri goes and befriends Suzune.<ref name='suz12'/>
** Later on, Kagari makes a wish to make Suzune suffer, and rewrites her memories to make her into a Magical Girl assassin, as well as erase her and Matsuri's memories of each other. She also makes a deal with Kyubey to let her complete her plan by having her hunt Witches full-time to make up for the loss of energy for losing Suzune, so she erases herself from everyone's memory and leaves town as well.<ref name='suz12'/>
[[File:Memoria 1416.jpg|thumb|left]]
* Haruka, due to feeling overshadowed by her older sister, Kanata, she makes a wish to erase her from existence, leaving only Haruka to remember her.<ref name='suz5'/>
* After her mother died, Chisato's father started getting drunk and abusing Chisato, so she wished for him to change him into a proper father. This causes him to no longer abuse him and to start working as a police officer.<ref name='suz5'/>
[[File:Memoria 1207.jpg|thumb]]
* [[Arisa Narumi]] is bullied at school, especially by a girl named [[Mika Nishinaka]]. When Kyubey approaches her, she wishes to become strong so she could stand up to them. After gaining her new strength, she becomes a bully herself, until she's confronted by Chisato, who challenges her to a fight as Magical Girls. After losing, Chisato offers Arisa her friendship and invites her to join the other Magical Girls in Hohzuki.<ref name='suz3'>Shown in [[Suzune Magica Chapter 3: Indecision]]</ref>
* Around two years from present day in Asunaro, [[Yuuri Asuka|Yuuri Asuka's]] class runs a café, and she handles the menu due to her love of cooking. After tasters fall ill, devastated Yuuri discards everything and isolates herself at home. Days later, on a rainy day, [[Airi Anri]] sits outside Yuuri's door all day begging her to come out. At sunset, Yuuri opens the door slightly and asks why Airi is there. Airi asks for food since she has not eaten, but Yuuri refuses until Airi confesses she ate all the discarded dishes because they were delicious, and the illness claims were lies from jealousy. Airi explains she saw Yuuri's careful hygiene and knew the food could not be bad. She dreamed of being a detective, inspired by Gourmet Detective Neko Ururu, and needed a chef partner, so she staged the day to befriend Yuuri. Airi then drags Yuuri out to cook dinner, with the spoon pendant that was given to Yuuri as a child by Slice Akiyama glittering.<ref name="kazextra2">Shown in [[Kazumi Magica Extra Chapter: Dream-Colored Spoon]]</ref>
* [[Mami Tomoe]] is involved in a car accident which kills her parents, and she makes a wish with Kyubey to survive.<ref name="episode3">Shown in [[Madoka Magica Episode 3: I'm Not Afraid of Anything Anymore|Madoka Magica Episode 3]]</ref>

* Mami and two Magical Girls fight a large insect-like Witch. The two girls retreat when their plan fails, apologizing and suggesting Mami do the same. Mami refuses to run away and defeats the Witch alone. The two girls return, amazed, and offer her the Grief Seed. Mami suggests they share it, but they warn her not to trust other Magical Girls, as they are rivals who will use her. Disappointed, Mami watches them leave, finding herself alone again.<ref name='tds1'>Shown in [[The Different Story: Episode 1]]</ref>

* Around one year later, after Kyoko's father starts preaching things he deems moral, but that weren't in the bible, people stop attending his church and their family soon ends up in poverty. [[Kyoko Sakura]] makes a contract with Kyubey in exchange for people frequenting his church again and listening to him.<ref name='episode8'>Shown in [[Madoka Magica Episode 8: I Was Stupid… So Stupid|Madoka Magica Episode 8]]</ref> As a result, Kyoko gains a power to create illusions.<ref name='tds2'>Shown in [[The Different Story: Episode 2]]</ref>

===Asunaro===
* While studying abroad, Michiru Kazusa's grandmother becomes very ill and in critical condition. While running home, Michiru is caught in a Witch's Barrier but is quickly rescued by Mami. At her grandmother's house, the doctor explains that Maia didn't have long to live unless she receives life support, but she had rejected it by her own accord. Later, Kyubey approaches Michiru and she makes a contract to return her grandmother to normal for as long as she has left to live. Michiru spends the day learning cooking skills from her, including strawberry risotto, and the next day, her grandmother dies.<ref name='kaz11'>Shown in [[Kazumi Magica Chapter 11: Dead or Rice]]</ref>

** Kanna Hijiri reminisces about the friends she'd accidentally killed and cries over it at school.<ref name='kaz10'/>
** [[Saki Asami]] and her sister [[Miyuki Asami|Miyuki]] are involved in a car crash, where Miyuki dies from a piece of glass lodged in her throat.<ref name='kaz10'/>
** Having been diagnosed with a terminal illness and given three months to live, Airi is devastated. Yuuri visits her and insists Airi's life is not over and that she will support Airi with everything she has if Airi chooses to live, but will not help if she gives up. Tearfully, Airi pleads for help, saying she wants to live, so Yuuri removes her spoon pendant and gives it to Airi, telling her to hold onto it until she returns. As she leaves, she passes a nurse exiting Miyuki Asami's room, where Saki weeps over her.<ref name='kazextra2'/>
*** Yuuri walks the streets at night, recalling first learning of Magical Girls when Michiru saved her from a Witch. Michiru reappears with Kyubey, both agreeing Yuuri's wish is fantastic. That night, Yuuri contracts as a Magical Girl for Airi's sake.<ref name='kazextra2'/>
* Yuuri visits Airi in the hospital, and Airi is overjoyed to have been cured, and believes the spoon Yuuri gave her was magical.<ref name='kaz5'>Shown in [[Kazumi Magica Chapter 5: Magica Arrabbiata]]</ref>

** After the Pleiades' first Witch battle, the group rests in a meadow and Kazumi points to the Pleiades constellation. Saki notes its location northwest of Taurus, around 444 light-years away. When Saki asks why the team name, Kazumi shyly explains how 8 years ago, when she was five, her grandmother took her in after her parents' deaths and told her her life story. She explained her grandmother was named Maia after the 7 stars, and now was the only one left alive. After telling her she could make her own family by connecting through their hearts, the two had Rosetta Meteora together.<ref name='kazextra3'/>
** The Pleiades Saints gaze at the sky and Michiru says her grandmother, Saki's sister, and Satomi's cat watch from above. A shooting star passes and Michiru leads them home for a shared meal.<ref name='kazextra3'/>
* The newly formed Pleiades fight a Witch and Michiru insists everyone name their attacks in Italian, even planning to record them in a book. She admits she is imitating the mysterious girl who saved her, Mami Tomoe, and threatens not to cook for them unless they comply. Saki notices Michiru's earrings are missing and Michiru assumes they were lost in battle but says it is fine, as her grandmother will never disappear from her heart. Later, Kaoru reveals that Saki asked her father to obtain a new pair of identical earrings during a business trip. Michiru thanks Saki warmly, while Mirai watches with an angry expression.<ref name='kaz12'/>
* At some point, Michiru finds out that Magical Girls become Witches. Feeling guilty due to having convinced 7 girls to make contracts, she overworks herself and goes out hunting Witches on her own. It is likely that during this time, Yuuri would have a hostile encounter with Kyoko, which Michiru would help break off.<ref name='kaz16'/>
[[File:Memoria 1680.jpg|thumb]]
* While preparing strawberry risotto for the Pleiades eating dinner, Michiru turns into a Witch, revealing the truth to the others as well. Kyubey delivers his cold explanation of the Magical Girl system and in fury, Umika slams him against the wall and impales him with her spear. However, a new Kyubey body appears behind them, explaining that killing him is pointless, but Niko decides to take the terminal Umika just killed for testing, since he no longer has any need for it.<ref name='kaz21'>Shown in [[Kazumi Magica Chapter 21: Juubey]]</ref> Saki takes Michiru's Grief Seed and encases it within metal, shaping it to the shape of one of Michiru's earrings.<ref name='kaz22'>Shown in [[Kazumi Magica Chapter 22: Kazumi Magica]]</ref> The girls later read Michiru's diary and learn of what she'd been through trying to protect them, and the girls decide they will reject the Magical Girl system entirely.<ref name='kaz16'/>
* Yuuri enters a cooking contest with Slice Akiyama, and Airi promises to treat Yuuri to bucket parfait if she wins. Airi also returns the spoon to Yuuri for good luck, vowing to protect her.<ref name='kaz5'/>
* Yuuri goes missing during the contest’s final round, and while searching for her, Airi is caught in a Witch's Labyrinth. The six Pleiades Saints arrive and destroy the Witch, warning her to forget what she saw. Airi finds Yuuri’s spoon dropped by the Witch, and Kyubey reveals the Witch was indeed Yuuri. He explains Yuuri's wish and how she overused her powers to save other terminal patients until she became a Witch in front of the Pleiades. Airi, devastated, curses herself for thanking Yuuri’s killers and vows not to forgive them. Kyubey offers to grant her wish, and Airi wishes to become Yuuri, taking over her life, memories and appearance. She transforms into a new form of the original Yuuri and declares her intent to kill them all.<ref name='kaz5'/>
** Kanna is also witness to this fight, shocked at seeing the Witch, as well as a girl who looked like her fighting it. Kyubey approaches her and explains the details of Niko's wish, as well as Kanna's own creation to her. After researching the incident, Kanna as an emotional breakdown upon finding out she isn't a real human. Seeing herself as Niko's puppet, she makes a contract with Kyubey for the power to "connect" and use others' powers without their knowledge, intending to cause Niko's downfall herself. She would then use her powers to observe the Pleiades, and then even create [[Evil Nuts]] by mixing Niko's and Umika's magics.<ref name='kaz18'/>
* Umika conducts intensive research on her computer and discovers a theoretical method to resurrect Michiru using a Witch's "Heart," which she termed a Cuore Maleficus, as the core component. Umika presents the idea to the Pleiades and leaves the final decision to them. Saki strongly supports it, reminding them that Michiru saved them multiple times by purifying their Soul Gems.<ref name='kaz20'>Shown in [[Kazumi Magica Chapter 20: Incubator]]</ref>
** The Pleiades would then start to use their joint powers, as well as the flesh of Michiru's Witch to create clones of her. Some of these clones turn out better than others, which they would judge by the similarities of their cooking to the real Michiru's, however when they were given Michiru's memories by Umika, they'd go berserk as the fighting instincts took them over. The Pleiades make 12 of these clones until they come to the conclusion that it was Michiru's will to remain dead. While Saki was supposed to get rid of the clones, she keeps them in stasis as she couldn't bear harming anyone who looked like Michiru.<ref name='kaz13'>Shown in [[Kazumi Magica Chapter 13: Malefica Farce]]</ref>
* Niko conducts her own research on the captured Incubator body using her computer and Soul Gem. She successfully creates a new, dependent type of Incubator. Presenting him to the other Pleiades, she introduces him as "INCUBATOR VER. DEPENDENT. Sub-or-din-at-ed (Juu-zoku-su-ru) Incubator," abbreviated to "Juubey," who is able to absorb Grief Seeds as well as cleanse Soul Gems himself.<ref name='kaz21'/>
* In their next meeting with Kyubey on top of Asunaro tower, the Pleiades bring Juubey along, informing Kyubey that his services for Grief Seed disposal are no longer required and demonstrates his ability to cleanse Soul Gems. Umika declares she will never allow him to make another contract in Asunaro City, but instead of repeatedly killing him, they will erase his existence entirely. Umika leads the Pleiades to cast a powerful spell that renders all Incubators except Juubey invisible to everyone in the city and rewrites the memories of all Magical Girls to remember Juubey in Kyubey's place. Their own memories of performing the spell are also erased.<ref name='kaz21'/>
* For the thirteenth clone, the Pleiades decide to not give her any of Michiru's memories and to call her by Michiru's nickname, Kazumi. Mirai plans to take Kazumi as her apprentice and she's crafted a special teddy bear adorned with a cat-charm necklace bearing Kazumi's name for the occasion. Satomi intends to give Toto, Michiru's cat to Kazumi, noting that Toto had begun warming to humans despite once scratching Satomi's hands. Umika plans to let Kazumi read her next novel before anyone else, while Kaoru wants to gift her an official All-Japan soccer uniform. Niko promises to take the group to America to view the Pleiades Star Cluster at the Grand Canyon and perhaps finally share her own story with them. Saki declares she would give Michiru's earrings to Kazumi, not to make her a replacement, but to pass on Michiru's wishes so the earrings would truly become Kazumi's.<ref name='kaz20'/>
* Souichirou is tricked by the owner of the shopping mall into selling his store. As revenge, he plans to detonate a bomb inside the shopping mall.<ref name='kaz1'>Shown in [[Kazumi Magica Chapter 1: Spotabaddynoff]]</ref>
** After Kazumi is created, Yuuri manages to kidnap her and places her in a suitcase, likely to take her to Kanna. However, at the same mall Souichirou intended to blow up, the two mix their suitcases with each other's, with Yuuri receiving the bomb and Souichirou receiving Kazumi.<ref name='kaz1'/>

* Around one year after Mami's interaction with the two girls, a classmate invites Mami shopping, but she declines, citing errands. Her classmates understand, noting she lives alone. After they leave, Mami brings out her Soul Gem and begins hunting Witches.<ref name='tds1'/>
** While wandering the city, Mami finds a Witch's Barrier that seems warped, suggesting another Magical Girl is fighting it. Inside, Kyoko Sakura fights the Witch, [[Asiphae]] and uses an illusion to trick her, but the Witch reforms and traps her. Mami arrives, saving Kyoko by ensnaring the Witch's axe with ribbons. She notes the Witch has fascination magic like Kyoko's and soon deduces the axe is the Witch's true body, while the rest is a projection. She proposes Kyoko destroy the axe while she handles the familiars and projections. Kyoko agrees, strikes the axe, and destroys the witch for good.<ref name='tds1'/>
** Kyoko thanks Mami for saving her and they introduce themselves, with Kyoko explaining she chased the Witch because it was the first she ever fought, breaking the unwritten rule of entering another's territory. Mami says she does not mind, as saving people matters more than territory. Kyoko prepares to leave, but Mami insists they share the Grief Seed and they both cleanse their Soul Gems.<ref name='tds1'/>
** Mami invites Kyoko to her place for tea and dessert. Kyoko is amazed by Mami's cooking and preparation, noting Mami analyzes Witches and researches magic while Kyoko just fights whatever crosses her path. Kyoko then asks Mami to make her her disciple, surprising Mami.<ref name='tds1'/>
* The next day at school, a classmate asks Mami why she has been in a happy daze. Mami denies having a boyfriend but says she made a new friend, Kyoko. She explains this friend is different from her normal friends, someone she hopes can entrust her life to. Her classmates joke that it sounds like a fiancé instead.<ref name='tds2'/>
** Later that day at Mami's apartment, Kyoko repeats her request to be Mami's disciple. Mami says she would prefer to be friends, but agrees to act as a more experienced "senpai" and Kyoko joyfully accepts.<ref name='tds2'/>
* Over the following days, Mami and Kyoko meet regularly to hunt Witches. They end each day with dinner at Mami's place and grow closer. <ref name='tds2'/>
* One day after a Witch hunt, Kyoko asks how Mami finds witches so accurately and Mami explains she searches near places where humans feel despair, such as crossroads for troubled hearts. Kyoko then asks how old Mami was when she made her contract, and Mami decides to tell her about how she survived the car accident due to her wish around a year ago. She explains that she continues fighting Witches so that no one else suffers the same sorrow she did.<ref name='tds2'/>
** After Mami finishes her story, Kyoko invites her to her house for dinner instead of going to Mami's place. That evening, Mami meets Kyoko's family: her mother, father, and younger sister Momo. Kyoko's father explains that he is a pastor whose church recently gained many followers after years of being ignored. Kyoko's mother notes Mami is the first friend Kyoko has ever brought over.<ref name='tds2'/>
** Late that night, Mami walks home with Kyoko and asks about her wish. Kyoko explains she wished for people to listen to her father's sermons and that she is happy with her contract and wants to protect everyone's happiness. As they are about to shake hands, Mami's Soul Gem glows and Kyubey warns that a Grief Seed is hatching nearby. They transform and hunt the Witch together.<ref name='tds2'/>
** After the fight, Kyoko and Mami walk out of a construction area, and Kyoko is confident that no witch can stand against them, even mentioning Walpurgisnacht by name. Mami agrees that together they could protect the town if that day ever comes.<ref name='tds2'/>
** Later that same night, Kyoko wakes up in bed to find her Soul Gem glowing and Kyubey alerts her to something happening at the Sakura Church. She rushes over and finds people under a Witch's Kiss, tearing up books and pouring gasoline, intending to burn the church. Kyoko transforms, turns the matches into pocky and the gasoline-soaked books into sweets, then fights the messenger bird Witch. She defeats it, leaving the manipulated people unconscious on the floor. As she catches her breath, she turns around to find her father, who has seen her in her Magical Girl form.<ref name='tds2'/>
** The same night, back at the house, Kyoko's sister Momo wakes up and asks where Kyoko is. Her father tells her nothing is wrong and sends her back to sleep. Kyoko stands beside him, still in her Magical Girl form. Despite Kyoko trying to explain her contract and Magical Girls to her father, but he labels her as an evil being.<ref name='tds2'/>
* The next day, Kyoko eats dinner with Mami at her place and Mami notices Kyoko seems down. Kyoko asks if Mami ever had arguments with someone close to her because she was a Magical Girl and Mami admits she grew apart from classmates but does not regret it. Kyoko then asks if saving someone from a Witch always leads to a happy ending, presenting a hypothetical scenario about a witness who sees someone cursed. Mami says they cannot know the result in advance, and not saving people would cause more grief, also telling Kyoko not to push herself too hard.<ref name='tds3'>Shown in [[The Different Story: Episode 3]]</ref>
** That evening, Kyoko returns home and passes her father's followers. She enters his room to find more liquor bottles than before. She tries to cheer him up, saying she defeated a Witch and saved someone from suicide. Her father interrupts, asking if it was all an illusion. He accuses Kyoko of bewitching his followers and calls her contract a deal with the devil. Kyoko argues Witches and Magical Girls are different, but her father says he would rather be an impotent failure than accept her power. He asks what else he can call her but a Witch and Kyoko walks away, speechless.<ref name='tds3'/>
* The next day, Mami defeats a Witch alone, noting Kyoko has not shown up to meet her and wonders if Kyoko is alright. Mami remembers past arguments with other Magical Girls who told her to let Familiars kill people so they become Witches worth hunting due to their Grief Seeds. Mami wonders what has happened to Kyoko and thinks maybe they should take a break together with warm food.<ref name='tds3'/>
** Kyoko's father kills his wife, Momo as well as himself, leaving only Kyoko behind and burning down the Sakura Church.<ref name='tds3'/>
* The following day Kyoko is absent again from their meeting place and Mami asks Kyubey if he knows anything, then decides to hunt alone.<ref name='tds3'/>
** Later that day, as it is snowing, Mami passes a broadcasting tower and hears a news report, learning that Kyoko's family's church had caught on fire and three bodies were recovered.<ref name='tds3'/>
** Meanwhile, Kyubey asks Kyoko if she will fight any Witches, as she has not purified her Soul Gem in a while. Kyoko states she no longer needs the power, as her miracle destroyed her family and asks if she would simply die if she stopped hunting Witches. Kyubey does not answer.<ref name='tds3'/>
** Later, Kyoko fights a large queen-like Witch in an icy Barrier and struggles to use her magic. The Witch freezes her to the ground, but she breaks free with a barrier and multiple spears, defeating the Witch, but then collapsing exhausted. After the fight, Kyubey explains that Kyoko's magic is failing because she has subconsciously rejected her wish. Her power of "fascination" is directly tied to her wish for her father's sermons to be heard, and without accepting her wish, her powers will not return. Kyoko laughs bitterly, and as she holds up her tainted Soul Gem, the Witch's Grief Seed falls and se is able to purify it as the Barrier fades.<ref name='tds3'/>
** Mami finds Kyoko lying in the snow. She runs to her, hugs her, and heals her injuries, saying that she is so happy to see her and worried about what happened. She blames herself for not finding Kyoko earlier and says she is just happy Kyoko is still alive. Kyoko breaks down crying, saying it is all her fault her family died.<ref name='tds3'/>
** That night, Mami takes Kyoko to her apartment and offers her ginger tea and loaned clothes. She suggests Kyoko stay with her until things settle down. Kyoko declines, not wanting to impose, but Mami asks her to stop trying to do everything alone and leaves to make dinner. Kyoko clutches her Soul Gem and apologizes silently, afraid she can no longer fight.<ref name='tds4'>Shown in [[The Different Story: Episode 4]]</ref>
* The next day, Mami tends to Kyoko's injuries after a fight. She notes Kyoko is not acting like herself and warns that fighting without full effort is dangerous. Kyoko admits she has been avoiding her magic and then proposes they stop hunting Familiars and focus only on Witches. Mami is upset, saying they should save people regardless, but Kyoko snaps, arguing that people who want to die will die anyway, and suggests letting Familiars kill people to create more Witches for Grief Seeds.<ref name='tds4'/>
** Mami tries to reason that Kyoko is just upset about her family and Kyoko retorts that Mami's family died in an accident, which is not the same as a family dying because of her. Kyoko declares she will no longer fight for others' happiness, only for herself. She turns to leave, and after Mami tries to stop her, Kyoko transforms and takes a fighting stance. Mami reluctantly does the same and the two fight, with Mami not aiming to kill. Kyoko lunges and points her spear at Mami, seemingly winning the fight and warning that next time she will be serious. She retracts her spear and walks away, saying she is returning to Kazamino to fight her own way. Mami cries, asking if Kyoko can truly stand the loneliness, but does not answer.<ref name='tds4'/>
** Mami is left alone, crying that she is back to being alone again. Kyoko, on a rooftop, thinks Mami can find a better friend than her.<ref name='tds4'/>

* [[Nagisa Momoe]] lives alone with her abusive mother. At some point while Mami was handling most of Mitakihara, Nagisa's mother becomes terminally ill and hospital-bound. Nagisa wishes for the best cheesecake in the world in accordance to her mother's tastes, instead of wishing to save her mother.<ref name='nagisaswish'/>
** The exact details are unknown, but it is believed that Inui Itsumi became the Witch [[Uhrmann]] during this time too, because of which Nagisa tried to save her mother, wanting her to die because Nagisa herself chose not to save her. Nagisa ultimately became the Witch [[Charlotte]] and Kyubey employed Mami to handle Inui's territory as well.<ref name='nagisaswish'/>

* Some time later, Mami and Kyubey spot [[Mabayu Aki]] as a potential Magical Girl. After Mabayu's mother, who had the inexplicable power to see the future, foresaw her own death, she became deathly terrified. With her low potential, Mabayu wished to erase her mother's memory of her prediction and became a Magical Girl.<ref name='filmmt2'>Shown in [[Scene 0 Film 12#Film MT Day ?? (2nd Reel)|The second reel of Film MT]]</ref>
[[File:Film13 scene16.jpg|thumb]]
* Mabayu and Mami form a partnership, and even convince other candidates to become Magical Girls. To make this happen, Mabayu uses her powers of predicting the future and wiping the memories from the girls. These girls would shortly after disappear, likely due to dying in battle or becoming Witches themselves.<ref name='filmmt7'>Shown in [[Scene 0 Film 12#Film MT Day ?? (7th Reel)|The seventh reel of Film MT]]</ref>
** One day, Mabayu uses her future-seeing ability and hesitantly reveals to Mami that she saw her working as a waitress at Récompense in uniform. Mami is shocked at this supposed destiny, but later indeed begins briefly working at Récompense. Sakie and Mabayu are delighted with her natural customer service skills, noting she surpassed Mabayu's two-week training period in no time.<ref name='recocut'>Shown in the Récompense Cut</ref>

==Present Day==
The events of [[Puella Magi Madoka Magica]] and some of its related media take place. For information on which month, or year the loop takes place, see [[Timeline/Original#Dating the Timeline Loops]]. In Magia Record, the events of Suzune Magica take place slightly before the events of Madoka Magica, while Kazumi Magica happens a bit later, followed by Oriko Magica, which takes place during the same time as Madoka Magica. The same framework has been adapted for this article.
* This information may be considered incongruent with many Madoka Magica media, but the original [[Puella Magi Oriko Magica]] claims that these, and thus most other events of the Madoka Media, take place during 2011, with [[Kirika Kure]] being born in 1997 and dying in 2011. This detail has intentionally been excluded from retellings and adaptations of the story since the first version of the Oriko Magica story.<ref>Indirectly shown in [[Puella Magi Oriko Magica]] Chapter 6 through Kirika's gravestone, listing her date of death as 2011. See [[Madoka Magica Timeline#Setting Theory 1: Present Day, Present Time|here]] for more details</ref>

===[[Puella Magi Suzune Magica|Suzune Magica]]===

Matsuri tries to befriend Suzune, but their conversation is interrupted when Haruka calls Matsuri for a meeting. The Hohzuki quartet discusses the Ripper rumor, suspecting a Magical Girl is behind the murders, as all the victims were Magical Girls.<ref name='suz2'>Shown in [[Suzune Magica Chapter 2: Fateful Encounter]]</ref>

** Suzune uses her power to teleport away and she quickly finds Haruka, preparing to kill her.<ref name='suz5'/> As Arisa and Matsuri arrive, Haruka's Soul Gem fully corrupts, and she transforms into a Witch. Suzune battles Haruka's Witch and reveals that all Witches were once Magical Girls, and their Soul Gems are their true selves. Suzune demonstrates this by stabbing herself, while blocking out the pain and healing, showing their bodies are mere shells. Kyubey confirms Suzune's claims, leaving Arisa and Matsuri in shock.<ref name='suz6'>Shown in [[Suzune Magica Chapter 6: Transmogrification]]</ref>
** Suzune, who has been killing Magical Girls to prevent them from becoming Witches, walks away, refusing to explain her actions. Kyubey then shows Arisa and Matsuri Suzune's past of being raised by Tsubaki after her parents were killed by a Witch, until Tsubaki eventually turned into a Witch herself, forcing Suzune to kill her, so Suzune vowed to end the cycle of Magical Girls becoming Witches.<ref name='suz7'/> Arisa, furious at Kyubey for deceiving them, destroys one of his bodies and later reflects on her own wish for strength, and regrets becoming a Magical Girl. Meanwhile, Suzune contemplates her actions, questioning whether she is doing the right thing.<ref name='suz8'>Shown in [[Suzune Magica Chapter 8: Compensation]]</ref>
* Suzune has a nightmare about Tsubaki and the Witches she has killed. At school, Arisa becomes increasingly aggressive, vowing to kill Suzune, while Matsuri tries to reason with her. Matsuri explains that she doesn't regret becoming a Magical Girl because her wish allowed her to overcome her disability, but Arisa still refuses to drop her vendetta against Suzune and leaves. Matsuri begins to have flashes of memories involving Tsubaki and a young Suzune, and that night, Kagari returns to Hohzuki and watches Suzune from afar.<ref name='suz9'>Shown in [[Suzune Magica Chapter 9: Presence]]</ref>
** Suzune and Arisa confront each other in an alley, and Suzune explains that killing Magical Girls is no different from killing Witches, as both are destined to become monsters. Arisa, fueled by rage, attacks Suzune but is unable to defeat her. Meanwhile, Matsuri, sitting on a park bench, begins to remember her past with Tsubaki and Suzune, triggered by Kyubey's sharing of Suzune's past. When she remembers everything, Kagari approaches her.<ref name='suz10'>Shown in [[Suzune Magica Chapter 10: Resolve]]</ref> She reveals that she erased her memories and manipulated Suzune into becoming a Magical Girl assassin to make her suffer. Before Matsuri can go and warn them, Kagari knocks her out with her magic and takes her home.<ref name='suz11'>Shown in [[Suzune Magica Chapter 11: Darkness]]</ref>
** Kagari then interrupts Suzune and Arisa's fight as Arisa is about to kill Suzune, killing Arisa by stabbing her Soul Gem. Suzune, shocked, demands to know who Kagari is.<ref name='suz11'/> Kagari shows her visions of her, Matsuri and Tsubaki, explaining how she made a wish for revenge, altering Suzune's memories to turn her into a killer.<ref name='suz12'/> Suzune breaks down, realizing the extent of Kagari's manipulation and the lives she has taken. Kagari taunts Suzune, urging her to turn into a Witch. Meanwhile, Matsuri awakens from a dream, now fully remembering her friendship with Suzune and Tsubaki.<ref name='suz13'>Shown in [[Suzune Magica Chapter 13: Memory]]</ref>
** Suzune attacks Kagari but is easily outmatched. Kagari continues to taunt Suzune, pushing her closer to becoming a Witch. As she's about to kill her, Matsuri arrives, tending to Suzune with a Grief Seed and confronting Kagari. Kagari decides to no longer spare Matsuri and instead kill both of them.<ref name='suz14'/> Kagari uses her magic to disorient and taunt them, but Kyubey reveals to Matsuri how Kagari's magic works, and Matsuri uses her own magic of detection to help Suzune gain the upper hand by revealing Kagari's movements to her. The two win the fight and Matsuri pleads with Kagari to drop her vendetta, but she refuses and rewrites her own memories to create a terrible story for herself and turn into a Witch. As a Witch, Suzune's initially unable to attack her effectively, and Kagari's Witch consumes Matsuri.<ref name='suz15'>Shown in [[Suzune Magica Chapter 15: Isolated]]</ref>
** Suzune uses her full power by using the charm she's made, and enters the Witch's body and destroys her from the inside. After the battle, Suzune finds Matsuri unconscious and Kagari's Grief Seed. Kyubey informs Suzune that both she and Matsuri are near their limits, so she copies Kagari's magic and uses the Grief Seed on Matsuri, leaving her home. Matsuri wakes up and chases after Suzune, who threatens to rewrite Matsuri's memories. Matsuri tells her that she will always be her friend and comforts her, and Suzune crushes her own Soul Gem to prevent herself from becoming a Witch.<ref name='suz16'>Shown in [[Suzune Magica Chapter 16: Convergence]]</ref>
* The following days, on the school rooftop, Matsuri vows to continue living, and puts on a charm similar to Tsubaki's and Suzune's.<ref name='suz16'/>

===[[Puella Magi Kazumi Magica|Kazumi Magica]]===
* Kazumi wakes up inside a suitcase with amnesia, only remembering her name. She is found by Souichirou Tachibana, who explains he bought a bomb in a similar suitcase to destroy a mall for revenge, but the suitcases were switched after he bumped into a mysterious girl. He receives a call offering to trade Kazumi for the bomb at the mall, and she agrees, hoping to find her kidnapper. During the trip, she pleads with him not to use the bomb, insisting he is good.<ref name='kaz1'/>
** At the mall, Umika and Kaoru open the bomb case, activating its timer. A police squad led by Misako Ishijima arrives to arrest Souichirou, and Kazumi breaks free to defend him. As the bomb is about to explode, Kazumi’s earrings glow and she wishes for it to stop. Umika passes it to Kaoru, who kicks it into the air, but Kazumi had unknowingly turned it into harmless confetti. Umika and Kaoru reveal they know Kazumi and take her to their home.<ref name='kaz1'/>
** Kazumi had been missing since the previous day. After resting, she wakes to a note saying Umika and Kaoru have gone to meet the detective. Kazumi cooks a large meal, and when the detective arrives alone, Kazumi accuses her of orchestrating the bomb plot for recognition and of coming to kill her. Misako admits this, stating she has the power to kill without evidence, then transforms into a monster and attacks Kazumi, triggering flashbacks.<ref name='kaz1'/>
** When Misako grabs her earring-bell, Kazumi breaks her wrist and transforms into a Magical Girl. Using her new powers, she defeats the monster, which reverts to human form. Umika and Kaoru rush in to find the battle over; Kazumi tells them she can use magic.<ref name='kaz1'/> She collapses from exhaustion, while Umika and Kaoru find a Grief Seed-like object on the unconscious detective. Unbeknownst to them, Yuuri watches.<ref name='kaz2'>Shown in [[Kazumi Magica Chapter 2: Pop Dogs]]</ref>
* Kazumi wakes up, encounters the cat Toto in her room and joins Umika and Kaoru downstairs. After eating, Umika takes Kazumi and Kaoru shopping at the mall to overcome her writer's block. There, Kazumi senses something wrong and runs off to find a monster attacking people. She transforms into a Magical Girl, and the monster recognizes her. Kazumi struggles in the fight, prompting Umika and Kaoru to reveal they can transform as well. Kazumi recalls their usual strategy but attacks too early, nearly hitting Umika and allowing the monster to escape.<ref name='kaz2'/>
** As a playful punishment, they take her for a haircut. Umika explains that a sprite scouts and contracts with Magical Girls, granting wishes in exchange for their powers. Kaoru says she wished for a healthy body to play soccer, while Umika wished for an editor who appreciates her novels. Kazumi wonders what her own wish was, but they say she never told anyone. They confirm the monsters are a new type of Witch unfamiliar to them.<ref name='kaz2'/>
** Kazumi’s haircut is messy and when Umika tries to fix a stray lock, Kazumi calls it her "Witch sensor," which helps them identify the half-Witch as a cosmetic saleswoman using harmful foundation. They confront the Witch, but the mysterious girl from earlier appears, reveals herself as a Magical Girl, and leaves. They defeat the Witch, turning her human and obtaining an Evil Nut.<ref name='kaz2'/>
** That night, while fighting a proper Witch, Kazumi hesitates due to her earlier mistake. The Witch devours Umika and Kaoru and escapes, leaving Kazumi with only a Witch's Kiss. Four other Magical Girls arrive: Satomi, Mirai, Saki, and Niko, revealing they form a seven-member team called the Pleiades Saints.<ref name='kaz3'>Shown in [[Kazumi Magica Chapter 3: Kazumix]]</ref>
** Kazumi receives a call from Umika and Kaoru, trapped in a Barrier Umika created. She says she can only maintain it for five hours and instructs Kazumi to find the Witch with the others. The five use their Soul Gems to locate it, though Kazumi notes her hair detector isn’t working. Satomi reveals her wish to communicate with animals, and a cat tells her the mark on Kazumi’s hand has appeared around the city. Niko introduces a smartphone app that tracks Witches by converting wavelengths into Soul Gem signals.<ref name='kaz3'/>
** The group splits up. Yuuri, disguised as Satomi, lures Kazumi away, reveals herself as the one who put her in the suitcase, and declares her intent to kill her. She summons a giant bull named Cole and pins Kazumi to a wall, but the other Saints arrive and save her, allowing Yuuri to escape.<ref name='kaz3'/>
** Back at the house, Saki discovers the Witch's Kiss matches a bookmobile’s schedule. After Kazumi cooks a large meal, they rush to confront the Witch, with Kazumi bringing candy for Umika and Kaoru. Their plan has Kazumi wait outside the Barrier and fire in on a signal. When Niko’s communicator breaks, Umika uses flute candy from Kazumi’s bag to signal instead. Kazumi destroys the Witch. Saki finds it used an abandoned car for its Barrier, and Niko collects a proper Grief Seed.<ref name='kaz3'/>
** Juubey approaches and reveals he contracted the Pleiades Saints. He purifies their Soul Gems and devours the Grief Seed. When presented with the "Grief Seeds" from the half-Witches, he rejects them as fake "Evil Nuts." The Pleiades deduce Yuuri is behind them, when Yuuri suddenly appears, incapacitates the group, kidnaps Kazumi, and leaves a letter demanding they come to Asunaro Dome at midnight. They regroup to figure out her motivations.<ref name='kaz4'>Shown in [[Kazumi Magica Chapter 4: Evil Nuts]]</ref>
* At midnight, the Pleiades arrive at Asunaro Dome, where Yuuri awaits with Kazumi trapped in a chair. When the Saints attempt to rescue her, they are blocked by a force field which damages them upon contact. Yuuri announces her plan to plant an Evil Nut into Kazumi’s forehead. Removing her hat, she is recognized by Umika and Yuuri declares her desire for vengeance and forcefully inserts the Evil Nut into Kazumi's forehead.<ref name='kaz4'/>
** A burst of energy erupts from Kazumi, who breaks free to fight Yuuri but is again overpowered. Yuuri accuses the Pleiades Saints of killing her, claiming they are a group that murders Magical Girls. She reveals the Pleiades took away what was most important to her, so she plans to take Kazumi from them in return. As Yuuri’s blackened Soul Gem cracks, Saki instructs Juubey to cleanse it, but Yuuri shoots him. Her Soul Gem hatches into a Grief Seed, turning her into a Witch.<ref name='kaz5'/>
** Her Barrier ties the Pleiades to crosses and projects Airi's memories, showing how she became Yuuri to enact revenge.<ref name='kaz5'/> Kazumi pleads with Airi to stop, but the Witch attacks, seemingly crushing her head. Kazumi bites the attack, and the Evil Nut’s influence mutates her body, allowing her to break free until her earring's bell restores her.<ref name='kaz6'>Shown in [[Kazumi Magica Chapter 6: Bucket Parfait]]</ref>
** Kazumi tries to use her magic to revert Airi to human form, but Airi’s body emerges from the Witch, still attached. Saki frees her teammates. Kazumi protests killing Airi, but the Pleiades explain Witches cannot be saved. They destroy the Witch with Kazumi ultimately joining the attack. The Barrier collapses, and Kazumi picks up Airi’s spoon, vowing to share the Pleiades’ pain.<ref name='kaz6'/>
** Later, Kazumi encounters Souichirou Tachibana, now a store manager. She makes "Bucket Parfait," a dessert Airi and Yuuri longed to share. Souichirou initially refuses to add it to the menu, but as Kazumi eats, she breaks down, realizing they never got to enjoy it together. She falls asleep gripping their spoon, and Souichirou covers her with a blanket, later adding the parfait.<ref name='kaz6'/>
** That night, the rest of the Pleiades confront a Magical Girl named Sumire Akane, who used to play with Kaoru. As she pleads, Kaoru uses Tocco del Male to take her Soul Gem. Another Magical Girl, Ayase Souju, watches from afar, interested in collecting the Pleiades’ Soul Gems.<ref name='kaz7'>Shown in [[Kazumi Magica Chapter 7: Picking Gems]]</ref>
*** Likely during this time, Kanna approaches them and supplies them with Evil Nuts to use against the Saints.
* The next morning, Kazumi thanks Souichirou for the food and is delighted when he adds Bucket Parfait to the menu. She leaves upon spotting Niko and Juubey and joins them on patrol at La Vie Land amusement park. They encounter Ayase Souju, who introduces herself as a collector of Soul Gems, accuses the Pleiades of the same, and reveals her intent to add theirs to her collection. Niko battles Ayase and uses Tocco del Male on her, but Ayase's body continues moving, retrieving her Soul Gem and revealing that she shares her body with Luca, possessing two Soul Gems.<ref name='kaz7'/>
** Kazumi and Niko fight Souju, countering their synchronized fire and ice magic by mixing Kazumi's destruction with Niko's reformation. As Ayase/Luca prepares to use Evil Nuts on them, the other Pleiades arrive and intercept them. Souju accuses the Pleiades of being Magical Girl hunters, shocking Kazumi. Kaoru retrieves their Soul Gems as they reach their limit. Kazumi demands an explanation, and Umika agrees to reveal the truth. Suddenly, Niko collapses as her Soul Gem turns into a Grief Seed, transforming her into a Witch.<ref name='kaz8'>Shown in [[Kazumi Magica Chapter 8: Fried Ice Cream]]</ref>
** The Pleiades are shocked until Kaoru blocks the Witch's attacks. When Saki is harmed, Mirai summons an army of teddy bears and cuts the Witch in half. The Witch drops a Grief Seed, leaving Niko's body lifeless. As they mourn, another Niko appears.<ref name='kaz9'>Shown in [[Kazumi Magica Chapter 9: Freezer]]</ref>
*** In this moment, Kanna takes Niko's identity and pretends the original Niko is a "spare" she created with her wish, having likely rewritten Juubey's memories to confirm this.
** Niko explains the body was a "preliminary" from her contract, causing mixed reactions. They take Kazumi to a hidden facility under Mirai's museum, called the Freezer, where they store the bodies of Magical Girls whose Soul Gems they’ve taken. Umika explains this is their way of rejecting the Magical Girl system, preventing Witch transformations while searching for a way to cleanse Soul Gems.<ref name='kaz9'/>
** Umika reveals that Witches are the ultimate fate of all Magical Girls and admits they lied about Soul Gems merely "going out of control." Juubey reveals Soul Gems contain the extracted souls of Magical Girls, making them akin to zombies. Kaoru argues this is better than dying instantly to a Witch. Umika describes their method: captured Magical Girls are placed in a specialized barrier that isolates them from their Soul Gems, inducing suspended animation. Kaoru states their goal is to avoid becoming Witches and restore the girls to normal life. Niko transfers Ayase and Luca's Soul Gems and body into new containers, declaring they will wait for revival.<ref name='kaz10'/>
** Kazumi asks when they learned the truth. Umika touches her forehead to Kazumi's, stating they must now restore her lost memories.<ref name='kaz10'/>
*** Kazumi is shown an alternate past where Michiru's name was changed to Kazumi and Kyubey is replaced with Juubey.<ref name='kaz21'/>
*** She relives memories of how each member fell to despair and how "Kazumi" saved them from suicide under a Witch's Kiss.<ref name='kaz10'/> After forcing them to fight, she told them of her grandmother and her own contract. She then sees them make their wishes to Juubey, forming the Pleiades.<ref name='kaz12'/>
*** The next memory shows the Pleiades waiting for Kazumi, who was to bring a new friend. Juubey alerts them to a nearby Witch's Barrier at Asunaro Dome, where they witness Yuuri Asuka transforming into a Witch. After the battle, Satomi asks if Magical Girls turn into Witches. Juubey explains the process and his role in collecting energy from hope's conversion into despair. Kaoru grabs him in anger, but Umika seizes him, slams her head against his, and rewrites his memories to prevent further contracts and make him work for them.<ref name='kaz12'/>
** In the present, Kazumi says she remembers hunting Magical Girls after Yuuri's transformation, but collapses as the Evil Nut symbol flashes in her eyes. Satomi looks on in shock as everyone decides to rest, and Umika and Kaoru lead Kazumi away.<ref name='kaz12'/>
** Later, as Saki lingers in the Freezer, Satomi approaches and asks if they can kill Kazumi, arguing she will inevitably revert to her Witch form and endanger everyone. Saki refuses, declaring her love for Kazumi. Satomi then uses her magic to compel Saki to go to the Misaki residence and kill Kazumi.<ref name='kaz13'/>
** At the residence, Kazumi sleeps while Kaoru and Umika discuss her condition. Kaoru confesses she had Umika fabricate details about her own wish during Kazumi's memory restoration. Saki arrives and asks if they understand the Evil Nut's effects. Umika theorizes someone else created the Evil Nuts and supplied them to Yuuri and the Souju twins, so finding that person may reveal the truth. Umika and Kaoru reassure Saki that things are progressing well "this time," but Saki panics at the mention of another repeat. She points out that even Niko's clone body transformed despite having a clear Soul Gem, suggesting they are all nearing their own transformations.<ref name='kaz13'/>
** Umika notices Saki referring to Kazumi with an honorific typically used by Satomi. Saki suddenly kicks Umika across the room. Through Saki, Satomi declares they cannot allow Kazumi to live and that it would be kinder for Saki to kill her now. Kaoru tries to restrain her, but Saki incapacitates her with a chandelier. Saki advances on Kazumi but breaks free of the brainwashing and stabs herself in the leg. Kazumi wakes, but Satomi forces Saki to grab her, and using Saki's magic, they vanish and reappear in the Freezer, with Saki's hair now much longer.<ref name='kaz13'/>
** Saki collapses from blood loss and urges Kazumi to run. Satomi appears and reveals that the restored memories were fabrications. The Pleiades already knew the truth about Witches because Kazumi's original self, Michiru Kazusa, had previously become a Witch and died. The Pleiades have been attempting to revive Michiru by cloning remnants of her Witch form and transplanting them into clone bodies, a process called Malefica Farce ("Witch Stuffing"). The current Kazumi is the thirteenth clone, and exposure to Evil Nuts is accelerating her reversion. Satomi intends to kill her before the transformation completes. She summons the twelve previous failed clones from beneath the Freezer and commands them to destroy Kazumi.<ref name='kaz13'/>
** She also reveals that Yuuri's transformation was a false memory implanted by Umika; it was Michiru's Witch transformation that first exposed them to the truth. Satomi explains that their attempts to revive Michiru using combined magic created imperfect clones with witch-like traits. She notes Saki was supposed to dispose of the clones but couldn't due to her love for Michiru. Outside, Mirai spies on them, while Niko and Juubey observe both parties.<ref name='kaz14'>Shown in [[Kazumi Magica Chapter 14: Cannibalism]]</ref>
** Satomi possesses Kazumi using her magic and forces her to fight the clones. Kazumi begs her to stop, but Satomi refuses. Under control, Kazumi wields the unique magics of each Pleiades member, convincing her she is composed of their magic fragments. She even absorbs the defeated clones' remains, repairing her own increasingly witch-like body. Satomi observes that Kazumi is "cannibalizing" them and brands her a monster.<ref name='kaz14'/>
** The battle continues until only Kazumi and one clone, marked with "IV," remain. As they clash, the clone pleads with Kazumi to kill her. Kazumi hesitates, but Satomi drives her staff through Kazumi's back and into the clone's chest. Satomi apologizes, then mutters she has finally eliminated all the clones.<ref name='kaz14'/>
** In her final moments, Kazumi grasps the clone's hand, absorbing its essence. Satomi prepares another attack, but her Soul Gem suddenly cracks and shatters without visible corruption, transforming her into the Witch [[Ritterrüstung von Heulsuse]]. Kazumi dodges the Witch's assaults while her own body mutates into a tentacled, Witch-like form. She redirects the Witch's Familiars against it using Mirai's "La Bestia" attack. The Witch's armor detonates, exposing a vulnerable core. Kazumi seizes it and smashes it against a wall, killing the Witch and reverting Satomi to her lifeless human form.<ref name='kaz15'>Shown in [[Kazumi Magica Chapter 15: Essence of Satomi]]</ref>
** The remaining Pleiades arrive and Mirai wakes Saki. They witness Kazumi savagely attacking Satomi's corpse. At Saki's voice, Kazumi snaps back to her normal appearance, horrified. Saki gently reassures her and calls her "Michiru." Kazumi pushes Saki away in distress, demanding to know if she is truly just a clone. Met with silence, she panics and uses Saki's magic to escape.<ref name='kaz15'/>
** Umika, Kaoru, Saki, Mirai, and Niko regroup. Niko attempts to track Kazumi but fails due to her using cloaking magic unconsciously. Saki apologizes for not destroying the clones, though the others don't blame her. They discuss their next steps, now that Kazumi's reversion is progressing and they lack Satomi's magic. Niko holds a container with Satomi's shrunken body and Grief Seed, calling them ingredients for revival. In a vote, everyone except Kaoru agrees to kill Kazumi and resume reviving Michiru and Satomi as many times as needed. Kaoru argues they cannot eliminate Kazumi now that she is beyond control, but Saki produces Michiru's diary and challenges her on whether she'd be willing to give it a bad ending.<ref name='kaz15'/>
* Saki and Mirai depart on patrol. Saki thanks Mirai for excusing her earlier actions, but Mirai responds coldly that the current Kazumi is not the Michiru they once knew, only a Witch with a human appearance.<ref name='kaz15'/>
** Meanwhile, Kazumi hides alone in a lighthouse atop a cliff, tearfully staring at a group picture of the Pleiades on her phone.<ref name='kaz15'/> As she weeps, Misako Ishijima grabs her shoulder. She shows no memory of the bomb incident or her transformation. Misako urges Kazumi into her car to escape the rain.<ref name='kaz16'/>
** As they drive, Misako explains that over twenty young girls have vanished in Asunaro recently, including Yuuri. Fearing Kazumi could be next, she approached her. The only lead is that several victims' phones contained deleted texts from an anonymous address labeled "Hyades," with no trace on phone company servers. She asks if Kazumi has regained her memories, but Kazumi bursts into tears, prompting Misako to pull over at Souichirou Tachibana's café.<ref name='kaz16'/>
** Inside, Kazumi eats a meal and falls asleep from exhaustion. Souichirou prepares coffee for Misako with butter stirred in, a recipe from a popular manga. Misako shows a photo of a girl named Remi Shiina, her close friend from middle school who disappeared. Remi's little sister later told her Remi had been a Magical Girl, and Misako has encountered evidence of Magical Girls in her detective work. When Souichirou asks why she shares this now, Misako notes Remi loved the same manga the coffee recipe is from. He interprets the coincidence as proof that miracles and magic exist. Kazumi spends the night at the café.<ref name='kaz16'/>
* Six days after Detective Misako Ishijima brought a starving, soaked Kazumi to Kafe Lepa Mačka, the rain has continued, and Kazumi has remained upstairs. Near midnight, Souichirou Tachibana pauses his work to watch the unrelenting downpour. He sees her near-total loss of appetite as a sign of more than a simple runaway but respects her wish not to contact family. A small thump from upstairs breaks the quiet; when he checks, Kazumi is sleeping soundly but with fresh tear tracks on her face. He sighs, resolving to make irresistible food for her tomorrow.<ref name='kazextra4'/>
** While descending the stairs, a piece of luggage collapses and a notebook falls out. He recognizes it as his late father's guestbook from Bistro Tachibana, now around fifteen years old, filled with joyful customer notes. Pausing at one particular page, he decides on a dish for Kazumi and begins cooking it in the empty café.<ref name='kazextra4'/>
[[File:Memoria 1681.jpg|thumb]]
* Early that morning, Kaoru arrives and hands Souichirou a scorched diary for Kazumi, with a personal letter tucked inside. She says she has no home left and flees crying. Souichirou sets the diary aside and continues cooking hotcakes. Soon, Misako enters and he serves it with chocolate art, calling it "magical cooking to turn tears into smiles." He shows a guestbook entry from Remi, Misako's missing best friend from 15 years prior, who described the same "hotcake" with a chef's drawing and the pun "A girl's tears are hotcake." Misako eats tearfully, smiling at the memory. Souichirou decides this will be Kazumi's breakfast, the rain now seeming gentler.<ref name='kazextra4'/>
** Alone, Kazumi opens the diary and reads entries detailing Michiru's life: her bond with her grandmother, her early encounter with Yuuri Asuka, her joyful time with the newly formed Pleiades, and her despair upon learning Magical Girls become Witches. Kaoru's letter pleads with Kazumi to flee before the others find and kill her, promising to protect her at any cost.<ref name='kaz16'/>
** Kazumi and Souichirou prepare one last meal together, which is strawberry risotto, following Michiru's grandmother's recipe from the diary. After eating, Kazumi thanks him and departs. She goes to the Freezer beneath Mirai's museum and uses telepathy to broadcast her location to the remaining Pleiades. She declares she will not run and demands they meet her to settle everything, warning that if they do not come, she will deactivate the facility's barrier, allowing the stored Soul Gems to hatch into Witches.<ref name='kaz16'/>
** The Pleiades arrive at the Freezer. Kazumi greets them, revealing she placed magic circles that will break the seal on the Soul Gems if they detect anyone's magic but her own. She says she has read Michiru's diary and pieced together the truth. She demands to know why they never gave her Michiru's actual memories. Saki explains that every prior clone given the full memories lost their sanity to fighting instincts and became mindless killers. Umika adds they interpreted this as "Michiru's will" and stopped attempting memory transfers, creating a new Magical Girl with a different personality instead.<ref name='kaz17'>Shown in [[Kazumi Magica Chapter 17: Secret Ingredient]]</ref>
** Kazumi declares she will not permit Magical Girls to perish from despair. She demands the Pleiades swear never to abandon efforts to revive Michiru and Satomi, no matter the failures, as it is their responsibility for rejecting the system and creating her. As her body begins transforming back into a Witch, she urges them to kill her. Kaoru objects, but Kazumi pleads with them to end her suffering. Holding up a group photo, she asks if they'd be friends if she were a normal human, which Kaoru affirms. Kazumi thanks them tearfully, consumes two Evil Nuts stored in the Freezer, and begs them to kill her.<ref name='kaz17'/>
** Kazumi lashes out with her newly-formed snake tail, slamming Kaoru into a wall and paralyzing her. Her expanding Barrier warps the room. Umika tries to rouse Kaoru but fails. Mirai tells Saki they must kill Kazumi to save her from torment. Saki transforms, steeling herself to kill every iteration of "Kazumi" until the true Michiru is restored, and Mirai pledges to share that burden. Kazumi blasts Niko unconscious. Saki and Mirai unleash a combined attack, Episodio Incrocio, manifesting a massive energy teddy bear that charges toward Kazumi.<ref name='kaz17'/>
** Umika continues calling for Kaoru until she notices Kazumi's magical symbol appearing on Kaoru's cheek. She uses Carcere Pausa on Kaoru, freeing her. Kaoru awakens to see the battle and rushes forward as Saki attacks, leaping in front of the strike. She pulls Saki close and argues that Kazumi is forcing herself to act as a Witch to make them kill her. When Kazumi's expression proves Kaoru right, Saki relents and breaks down.<ref name='kaz17'/>
** Kaoru declares she will be the one to kill Kazumi, but Mirai suddenly leaps behind Kazumi and slices her body in half. The Barrier collapses, and Kazumi's form reverts to a doll-like decoy identical to Niko's clones. The unconscious Niko is also a decoy. The real Niko emerges, revealing she has the true Kazumi sealed safely inside one of her containers.<ref name='kaz17'/>
** Mirai turns to see Saki's Soul Gem on the verge of hatching. Niko uses Prodotto Secondario to create a clone beside Saki. The clone calmly tells Saki she will put her to rest, then presses an Evil Nut into Saki's forehead. Saki screams as a pillar of lightning erupts around her, annihilating the clone. Niko, smiling, tells Kaoru she could never let humans hurt Kazumi.<ref name='kaz17'/>
** When Kaoru presses for an explanation, Niko declares that she and Kazumi are the only true composite Magical Girls. Mirai rushes to Saki's side as Saki begins transforming into a Witch and begs Juubey to cleanse her Soul Gem. He says it is too late and urges her to flee, but Mirai refuses.<ref name='kaz18'/>
** Mirai notices Saki's Soul Gem has fully become a Grief Seed. She professes her love to Saki's Witch, and the Witch decapitates her, killing her. Niko shouts "Connect" and uses her magic to restrain the rampaging Witch-Saki, claiming her revenge is nearly complete. She recounts a childhood gun tragedy where the sole survivor and the one who pulled the trigger was Kanna Hijiri. Consumed by "what if" thoughts, she imagined an alternate version of herself who never experienced the tragedy. Umika realizes the girl before them is not the original Niko, but Kanna Hijiri herself, created by Niko's wish.<ref name='kaz18'/>
** Kanna explains that she saw them battling Yuuri Asuka's Witch form and was horrified by the monster and a girl who looked identical to her. Juubey appeared and explained that the girl was her original self and that Kanna was created as a duplicate from Niko's wish. This led to her breakdown and desire for revenge. She wished for the ability to "connect" to others without drawing attention, to use their powers. She then created the Evil Nuts with Niko and Umika's magic, supplying them to Yuuri (Airi) and the Souju twins. Her goal is to eliminate normal humans and replace them with composite beings like herself and Kazumi, to be called the Hyades.<ref name='kaz18'/>
** Inside the Barrier of Saki's Witch, Kanna urges Kazumi to join her, offering to heal her impending Witch transformation. Kazumi refuses, declaring she wants no part of a world without her friends. She bursts free from the container and collapses next to Umika and Kaoru. Umika attempts to reason with Kanna, insisting that both she and Kazumi possess genuine human hearts. She admits the Pleiades' fear of becoming Witches drove them to try saving themselves, but Kazumi chose to confront the truths head-on. Enraged, Kanna commands Saki's Witch to attack. Before it can strike, teddy bears under Mirai's previous "La Bestia" spell breach the Barrier, arriving with the Soul Gems of the Souju sisters and other captured Magical Girls. The Gems immediately corrupt into Grief Seeds and hatch into Witches that rally to defend Saki's Witch. Umika casts Rosso Fantasma on Kaoru, who sends spectral clones toward Kanna. Umika sneaks behind Kanna and uses Tocco del Male in an attempt to extract her Soul Gem. Kanna reveals it was a decoy and strikes them both down.<ref name='kaz19'>Shown in [[Kazumi Magica Chapter 19: Grief Seeds]]</ref>
** Kazumi prepares to fully transform, instructing Umika and Kaoru to kill her if she becomes a Witch and thanking them. Her Soul Gem rapidly corrupts. Juubey attempts to purify it, but his body begins disintegrating. With a final goodbye, Juubey breaks apart completely. Kyubey appears and explains that Juubey was an incomplete Incubator, incapable of full purification. Umika and Kaoru recall that standard Grief Seeds can cleanse Soul Gems. Kazumi faints, the sound from her earring bell echoing. This causes Saki's Witch to turn against the other Witches defending her, prompting them to overwhelm and destroy her. As Saki's Witch is defeated, she drops a Grief Seed, which Umika and Kaoru use to purify Kazumi's heavily corrupted Soul Gem. Her Witch-like markings fade, and she is restored to normal.<ref name='kaz19'/>
** Kazumi wakes up and swiftly defeats all the Witches except the combined Witch form of Souju, which is more resilient. Umika and Kaoru express regret, lamenting they wanted Kazumi to experience joy, not this confrontation. Kazumi finally destroys the Souju Witch, also wounding Kanna. Saki's Grief Seed is about to hatch, and a massive barrier spell bearing Umika's magic circle shatters above the city. Umika and Kaoru recall the one entity capable of consuming Grief Seeds and call out to Kyubey, who appears and eats the Grief Seed before it releases the Witch again.<ref name='kaz20'/>
** Kyubey states he never left Asunaro City and directs Umika for the full explanation. Kaoru and Umika recall that it was Kyubey who made their contracts and explained the truth about Witches after Michiru became one. In fury, Umika impaled him, but a new Kyubey body appeared, explaining Incubators share a collective consciousness and have countless terminals. Niko took the dead Kyubey and placed it in a container. After research, she used its body to purify her Soul Gem and created a new, dependent type of Incubator, presenting him as "Juubey." In their next encounter with Kyubey, the Pleiades brought Juubey, who informed Kyubey his services were no longer needed and demonstrated his ability to cleanse Soul Gems. Kyubey argued they should simply use Grief Seeds, but Saki stated no one wanted to sustain themselves on the remains of friends. Kyubey admitted he did not understand, and Umika declared she would never allow him to make another contract in Asunaro City. The Pleiades cast a spell rendering all Incubators except Juubey invisible to everyone in the city and rewrote memories to replace Kyubey with Juubey. Their own memories of the spell were erased. Kyubey complimented Umika's thorough plan.<ref name='kaz21'/>
** Kyubey notes that using modified Incubator bodies as a cleaning system was not a bad concept, but theorizes it failed because they could only "polish" Soul Gems superficially, not truly cleanse them. This is why the Pleiades gradually became Witches despite their Gems appearing untainted. Additionally, Juubey needed actual Grief Seeds to keep the cleaning function operational. Kaoru and Umika's Soul Gems are now darkened. Kazumi begs Kyubey to cleanse them, but he replies only Grief Seeds can perform true purification. The sole remaining Witch is the combined Souju form, pinned to the wall alongside Kanna. Kazumi kills the Witch, but no Grief Seed appears. Kyubey explains not every Witch produces one. Kazumi panics and rushes to her friends' sides, grasping their hands.<ref name='kaz21'/>
** Umika and Kaoru firmly reply they will never allow themselves to become Witches, their stomachs growling as they share weak smiles with Kazumi. Kazumi tearfully asks them to eat strawberry risotto together when they return home. Suddenly, her left earring-bell rings out, detaches, shatters open, and reveals Michiru's Grief Seed hidden inside. While her right earring held Kazumi's "Soul Gem," the left held Michiru's Grief Seed, which Saki had sealed in the form of one of Michiru's earrings when they killed Michiru's Witch.<ref name='kaz22'/>
** Kazumi realizes Michiru still wants to help and presses the Grief Seed to Umika and Kaoru's darkening Soul Gems, cleansing them completely. Meanwhile, Kanna escapes to the top of Asunaro Tower with the Soul Gems from the Freezer. Using her "Connect" magic, she links them as they turn into Grief Seeds and fuse into a single colossal Witch entity. Kyubey briefly mistakes it for Walpurgisnacht before recognizing Kanna's handiwork and names it "[[Hyades Daybreak]]." Umika and Kaoru instruct Kazumi to stay back, warning that further magic use will push her over the edge. Kazumi calmly explains she has never made a contract with Kyubey and can make one now, claiming she will never fall into despair.<ref name='kaz22'/>
** Kazumi makes her wish: to become a real human. Kyubey warns the wish is futile, as she will immediately become a Magical Girl upon its granting, thus undoing it. Kazumi counters that she needs a body of her own to move forward. She emerges with a new transformation, her hair long and free, wearing an entirely new, white costume.<ref name='kaz22'/>
** Her magic radiates outward, triggering an "upgrade" in Umika and Kaoru's costumes, enhancing their designs and magical potency. As they attack, Kanna is stunned that Kazumi made a contract. Kazumi gently tells her they are not so different, as composite beings who made contracts, they are both real Magical Girls. Kanna's rage and despair reach a breaking point, and she resolves to destroy Kazumi's world along with all ordinary humans, refusing a future where she remains a mere copy.<ref name='kaz23'>Shown in [[Kazumi Magica Chapter 23: Innocent Malice]]</ref>
** Harnessing their upgraded powers, Kazumi, Kaoru, and Umika launch a coordinated assault on Hyades Daybreak. The combined attack overwhelms and defeats the entity, severely weakening Kanna and pushing her Soul Gem to the brink of hatching. Kazumi approaches the collapsing Kanna, takes her gem, and uses what's left of Michiru's Grief Seed to cleanse it as much as possible. She consoles her, understanding her fear that her loved ones might only see her as a reflection of the original Niko. Kazumi reassures her that everyone truly loved Kanna for who she was. While admitting she cannot save Kanna, she promises to watch over her loved ones. Tearfully, Kanna remarks that Kazumi's words are always heartrending, thanks her sincerely, and leaps from the building's edge. With a quiet "Ciao," she detonates her Soul Gem mid-air, ending her life. Kazumi kneels and finally cries. Umika and Kaoru embrace her, and the three gaze at the clear sky.<ref name='kaz23'/><ref name="kazextra5">Shown in [[Kazumi Magica Extra Chapter: Niko Risotto]]</ref>
* The next morning, Kazumi wakes to the sounds and smell of cooking. Umika prepares breakfast normally and Kaoru pours tea. Over lemon pie, Kazumi asks about Niko and Kanna, worried about how to explain Kanna's death to her family. Kaoru reveals they plan to use Umika's magic to make Kanna's death appear as the result of a witnessed serious illness, rather than erasing her entirely. Kazumi then suggests they visit Kanna's house together.<ref name='kazextra5'/>
** At the Hijiri home, Kanna's father, mother, and twin brothers greet them with suspicion. When asked how they knew Kanna, Kazumi blurts out that they were Magical Girl teammates and shows a photo of the Pleiades. She explains they met at the hospital, formed a team to cook for and cheer up unwell children, describing it as a secret activity with a "don't-tell-family-or-get-a-ladle-whack" rule. Kaoru and Umika back her up. Kanna's mother tears up, touched by her daughter's seriousness.<ref name='kazextra5'/>
** Kazumi conjures ingredients while chanting "Chi-chin purin!", delighting the twins. They prepare Kanna's favorite dishes, ending with strawberry risotto, her top dish, described as a "magical risotto that makes everyone smile." They name it Niko Risotto after Kanna's gentle smile (a play on "niko," meaning smile). Together, all seven of them share the meal.<ref name='kazextra5'/>
[[File:Memoria 1140.jpg|thumb]]
* Sometime later, Kazumi attends school in Asunaro City. During introductions, she chooses the surname "Subaru," meaning "Pleiades." Meanwhile, Umika and Kaoru confront Kyubey privately, asking if he is pleased by their supposed failure. Kyubey replies he feels no emotions but has obtained valuable data and a highly potent Witch in Kazumi, so he should thank them. Umika and Kaoru firmly declare they will never abandon their quest to find a way to reverse Witch transformations and restore Magical Girls to human life. Their conversation is cut short when Kyubey senses a Grief Seed beginning to hatch into a new Witch.<ref name='kaz23'/>
** In the middle of class, Kazumi senses the emerging Witch and bolts from the room. On her way, she encounters Souichirou Tachibana, Officer Misako Ishijima, Kyouka Shida (the former cosmetics pseudo-Witch), and Slice Akiyama (the chef who hosted the cooking competition where Yuuri Asuka was last seen). She reunites with Umika and Kaoru, and the three transform into their upgraded Magical Girl forms, with Kyubey accompanying them.<ref name='kaz23'/>

Creates a linked age number, meant for [[Template:Infobox character]]. To represent different character ages seen in different stories, use the template multiple times.

==Parameters==
* ''first unnamed parameter'' - The age, can be anything, but should be either a number, an estimation or just <code>Unknown</code>
* ''second unnamed parameter'' - The note to the age, can be <code>estimated</code> if the age is estimated, the stories in which the character has these ages or anything else that's relevant.
* <code>page</code> - Appended to the age listing page in parentheses, for example <code>page=Puella Historia</code> links to [[Characters by Age (Puella Historia)]]

==Example==
For example [[Yachiyo Nanami]] is seen with many differing ages in different stories, this would be displayed like this:
<pre>
{{Age|12|Deliver to the Beyond, A Piece of Hope}}{{Age|18|Breakpoint; Crescent Memoria}}{{Age|19|Main Story}}

== When were the three sisters born? ==

Although Isabeau (Witch)'s personal story implies that Isabeau and Louis were having an affair, and that her three daughters may have been born during this period (1404–1407), I am not sure this is enough to conclude that they were born specifically in 1405, 1406, and 1407.

If Isabeau and Louis were already involved with each other in 1404, Lapine could also have been born that year. Likewise, Minou could have been born after Louis's death, so 1408 cannot necessarily be ruled out either. It is even possible that at least two of the three sisters were born in the same calendar year, for example one early in the year and another near the end of it.

Are there any other clues or sources that allow us to confidently say that Lapine, Corbeau, and Minou were born in 1405, 1406, and 1407 respectively? -[[User:Hilbert88|Hilbert88]] ([[User talk:Hilbert88|talk]]) 22:42, 9 July 2026 (UTC)
:Well, I extremely doubt that those were their birth dates. In 1407, Isabeau bore Prince Philip, who died in infancy; so it wouldn't be possible for Corbeau to be born in the same year. She bore daughters in 1388 (died at the age of 2), 1389, 1391, 1393, 1395, and 1401. She also bore sons in 1386, 1392, 1397, 1398, and 1403, the last being the Charles we know (the others all died young). So, most likely Corbeau, Minou, and Lapine would have to fit into that scheme, though there may be a ''little'' bit of room to squeeze in extra undocumented daughters. My personal theory is Lapine in 1391, Minou in 1393, and Corbeau in 1395, but I'm not aware of any evidence for this. Still, it's probably ''possible'' to fit them into your 1404-1408 time frame as being secret illegitimate daughters from an affair with Louis; just keep in mind that they'd need to be born before Philip in 1407. ~ [[User:Celtic Minstrel|Celtic Minstrel]] ([[User talk:Celtic Minstrel|talk]]) 13:04, 10 July 2026 (UTC)

She bore daughters in 1388 (died at the age of 2), 1389, 1391, 1393, 1395, and 1401. She also bore sons in 1386, 1392, 1397, 1398, and 1403, the last being the Charles we know (the others all died young). So, most likely Corbeau, Minou, and Lapine would have to fit into that scheme, though there may be a ''little'' bit of room to squeeze in extra undocumented daughters. My personal theory is Lapine in 1391, Minou in 1393, and Corbeau in 1395, but I'm not aware of any evidence for this. ~ [[User:Celtic Minstrel|Celtic Minstrel]] ([[User talk:Celtic Minstrel|talk]]) 13:04, 10 July 2026 (UTC)

Celtic Minstrel: /* Exedra Quest */

"Eri Kitamura (Sayaka) likes the company of other seiyuu, besides Ai Nonaka (Kyoko)."
This statement is vague. Does this mean that she enjoys the company of other seiyuus in addition to Ai Nonaka, or except Ai Nonaka? "Besides" can be used both ways. Is there more known about KitaEri's and Nonaka's relationship? Statements like this (http://wiki.puella-magi.net/File:Twitter_comment.jpg) make it seem like they're friendly, while statements like "Kitamura-san and Nonaka-san were very good-natured. Thanks to their politeness and kindness, the recording went smoothly despite a bit of tension." in the "And I'm Home" page make it look like they dislike each other. Can anyone clarify?

:It's probably supposed to be in addition to Ai Nonaka. I haven't seen anything that would imply that they dislike each other (the tension referenced in the "And I'm Home" tweet could be about the recording itself, or something different). Publicly, [http://i.imgur.com/8h7LcLv.jpg they seem to get along rather well].--[[User:Knon|Knon]] 10:49, 4 October 2013 (UTC)

it seems like she became a witch in the train scene in episode 8. but after that scene she was back normal when kyouko talked to her only to transform really into a witch with grief seed then.
questions:

:1. Does a witch hold her original form after the first transformation and becomes a real witch sometime later when her grief increases?
:2. if 1. is right, would there still be a change to save her from becoming a witch (first transformation as alert)?
:3.does the colour of sayaka´s soul gem before becoming a grief seed have a connection with a picture (i´m sure i´ve seen one like this)?
:4.Can Sayaka´s witch form evolve or fuse with other witches (on walpurgisnacht)?

:I guess we'll found that out by the next episode, but she probably "temporary" transformed in that train scene. (Just like mahou shoujo transformation, but more on witch's side). --[[User:0x99|0x99]] 16:59, 27 February 2011 (UTC)

Learn some French, petit means small, or little, not petty. Not even almost.
And a bourgeoise was a member of the upper class, not middle class. [[Special:Contributions/85.230.122.238|85.230.122.238]] 15:23, 8 April 2011 (UTC)

--Not quite. Setting aside the fact that "little bourgeois" should be rendered as "petite bourgeoise" in Sayaka's case, "petite bourgeoisie" literally does mean "petty bourgeoisie" (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Petite_bourgeoisie), and explicitly refers to the middle class of small shop-owners, government employees, etc; the bourgeoisie are traditionally the owners of capital, which in Japan's economic system could mean either the upper or middle classes. Sayaka's family can definitely be considered bourgeois, as they can afford to send their daughter to a private school and live in a large, well-decorated apartment.

== episode 12 ==

sayaka did also die in the world madoka created and madoka shows her kamijous concert before the soul is taken in by her

* Sayaka is someone who is willing to sacrifice herself but needs to know the meaning. In previous timelines, her motivation is gaining Kamijou's love. She regretted to become a puella magi if she failed to get this as return. In the new timeline, however, Madoka indicated her the meaning of her sacrifice. Although she still unable to win Kamijou's love, Kamijou's performance won't be heard and accepted without her sacrifice. Knowing this, she can gone peacefully. This scene may also imply that many puellae magi, like her, can finally found the meaning of their sacrifices. [[User:Yorkwoo|Yorkwoo]] 01:28, 20 August 2011 (UTC)

::From the anime, Madoka purified all the corrupted soul gems of the mahou shoujo and letting them passed away in peace. However, Sayaka was the one exception. Though she should have vanished along when her soul gem was corrupted in Madoka's new world, she was still able to manifest herself and listen to Kamijou's performance. Is it because Madoka wanting to let her leave without any regrets? and someone writing about Sayaka becoming a goddess, where did the idea came from? [[User:Demonicslayer|Demonicslayer]] 16:19, 15 January 2012 (UTC)
:::In my guess, they are just in different perspective. For others, the magical girl is disappeared. But in the magical girl's viewpoint, she is brought to see what good job she did so that she can pass away without regret. [[User:Yorkwoo|Yorkwoo]] 17:43, 15 January 2012 (UTC)
:::But it's also implied that in the new universe, dying puellae magi go to a mahou-shoujo heaven that Madoka has for them.

==Sayaka's weapon enhanced==
In early proposal, Sayaka is fighting Kyoko from EP5(or 4) to EP9. She is supposed to be much more powerful than in anime or she cannot withstand Kyoko. Another possibility is that she might be that powerful in some timelines we didn't see. I'll upload another picture later. [[User:Yorkwoo|Yorkwoo]] 14:53, 9 September 2011 (UTC)

==Sayaka's Zombie Body==

==Sayaka's Soul Gem Motif==

So I made a little theory about Sayaka's Soul Gem motif - C. In Speculations/Observations, it was left that it's a connection between Sayaka and music, and that C is a note. I think it has a deeper meaning.

I already posted my theory on tumblr, but I rarely get any feedback on there so I thought someone here would correct me or something.

Now, I’m sorry if you have a hard time keeping up with me and stuff, but English isn’t my native language and I’m not really good with musical terms in it, so with the help of Wikipedia I’ll try to explain this.

So you all know the C symbol that dominates Sayaka’s soul gem, right?
And sure, C IS the first note and all that but.. it surprised me that nobody thought of it this way:

While I was still in music school, we were taught how to read, write and compose our own music. And naturally, with that, we were taught time signatures. And this is where shit gets serious.

The time signature 4/4 can also be represented by the Common time signature. The symbol for Common Time? It’s C.

C = 4/4.

In Episode 4, Sayaka becomes a magical girl.

In Episode 8, Sayaka turns into a witch; 4+4=8, right?

So by her Soul Gem, we could already see that she would turn into a witch in 4 episodes after she becomes a Puella Magi.

Her Soul Gem foreshadowed her demise.

Just like little Anthonies foreshadowed Mami’s.

It’s my theory, it may sound a little stupid, but I think it’s kinda creepy. --[[User:Killwitches-getbitches|Killwitches-getbitches]] 18:49, 25 August 2012 (UTC)

== How much does Sayaka remember after The Rebellion Story ==

{{spoiler|Sayaka was clearly extremely happy to see Hitomi and Kyousuke which shows she must have at least some memory of the past universes, and immediately afterwords we see that she has a ring and a dot on her fingernail.}}

==Sayaka's Devotion==

The page says that she is a devoted friend, "for the most part". If I may ask, what does she do that ever shows a lack of devotion? Her three friends (excluding Kyoko who she had a rough relationship with until the end, anyway) are Madoka, Hitomi, and Kyosuke. She rescues Madoka, and does everything she can to protect her (and the entirety of Mitakihara) until she becomes a witch, and she lets Hitomi have Kyosuke, and in Drama CDs and Rebellion, she is shown protecting Hitomi with her powers as a magical girl too. As for Kyosuke, she became a magical girl in order to heal him. So what exactly is NOT devoted about her? [[User:SAYAKAMI|SAYAKAMI]] 14:46, 16 March 2015 (UTC)

== The 'Personality' sections ==

I noticed someone came here a while ago and changed it up to be very short & sweet with simple words compared to the previous lengthy one. It's inconsistent with the personality sections from the other characters so far. Hell, Kyoko doesn't even have anything put up in hers and that should be changed unless we drop it! But for Sayaka here-- are we gonna keep it and change stuff, or are we gonna put a lengthy description back again?

: I dont have it (at most a screenshot), but I wanna ask, do versions of characters like alt Sayaka deserve their own pages? I know that by that logic we would make way too many pages, like each for a character in the Magireco universe, but magireco (imo) can be treated almost like a timeline, where stuff is different but the backstories are the same, while in these cases its directly different. - [[User:TheresaFrog421|TheresaFrog421]] ([[User talk:TheresaFrog421|talk]]) 10:25, 7 July 2026 (UTC)

::: Yeah I was planning on suggesting it after I finish working on the Magireco Events but that's gonna take a while so i think it would be better to start now, though there's still stuff to be done like moving trivia.

:::: I think almost no alts deserve their own character page.

::::: I think it would just be nice to separate them, I mean we know 100% that Alt Sayaka's wish is different, her Soul Gem placement is and her eyes are yellow when she's transformed. I feel like all this info will be put into the infobox and just clutter it up, I mean we already separate the Magia Report characters, and theyre considered alt universe versions of characters. - [[User:TheresaFrog421|TheresaFrog421]] ([[User talk:TheresaFrog421|talk]]) 21:37, 7 July 2026 (UTC)
:::::: This Sayaka, unlike Swimsuit Mami, isn't an alt form that the character has taken. This is an alternate version of Sayaka and I highly doubt she will be relevant or brought back after Chapter 1. I think many wikis deal with this thing where there's an "upside down" version of a character. Unless she'd warrant a really small article, I'd say we can go ahead and give her her own article (once we find out a way to call her). If in the future we see just l2d versions of evil kanoko for example and nothing else ever, then I wouldn't split her into her own page. Overall I think it's okay to wait until her unit gets released or Chapter 1 Part 2 gets released. ~ [[User:Sweet Beanie|Sweet Beanie]] ([[User talk:Sweet Beanie|talk]]) 13:16, 8 July 2026 (UTC)
:::::: But we don't separate Madoka just because her wish is different. She must have at least five or six different wishes, depending on the timeline. Admittedly, they never changed her ''costume'', but still – fundamentally both Sayakas are the same person, just with a few slightly different choices. Obviously alt Sayaka should have her own ''unit'' page if she's released as playable, but there's no need for her to have her own ''character'' page.
:::::: And Magia Report isn't really related to this. Those characters only bear a vaguely passing resemblance to the main story characters, in that they have the same name and a sort of similar appearance. In every other way they're completely different from the canon characters. Just pick pretty much any fact about the canon characters, and you'll find it doesn't really apply to their Magia Report counterpart. ~ [[User:Celtic Minstrel|Celtic Minstrel]] ([[User talk:Celtic Minstrel|talk]]) 02:19, 9 July 2026 (UTC)

== MagiReco Game Timeline ==

It looks like you're being a bit too ambitious. I suggest limiting the content on the Timelines page to ''only'' the main arc – no event stories (unless they're super important to the main plot, maaaybe?), no Magical Girl stories, no costume stories, not even Another Story (maaaybe the briefest mention if relevant to the main arc). I'm not sure if Mirror Story is important enough to go on that page.

That doesn't mean the other content shouldn't be summarized though – feel free to finish what I started on the [[Magia Record Timeline]] page and also slot in all the other content there. ~ [[User:Celtic Minstrel|Celtic Minstrel]] ([[User talk:Celtic Minstrel|talk]]) 03:41, 28 January 2025 (UTC)

== [[Timelines]] ==

I don't want to stomp on all your hard work, but I think the level of detail on that page is getting waaay past what it really needs to be.

To be clear, I think it's good to have this level of detail, but not on this page – there could be dedicated pages for each Magia Record arc, for example (actually, those pages [[Magia Record Main Story Arc 1|already]] [[Magia Record Main Story Arc 2|exist]] but have only the list of chapters – that could be expanded).

The level of detail for main timelines 1 and 2 seems about right to me. Some could have more detail, but not ''too'' much more. In particular, the Magia Record section is probably at least 10 times larger than it needs to be. There should probably be no more than a sentence or two for each chapter or event, maybe up to around 10 sentences if it's especially complicated (like Arc 1 Chapter 10), with a link to the full chapter summary on another page.

There was also a whole section that doesn't belong at all, which I deleted with the intent of moving it where it belongs (to [[Timeline (Historical)]]), but I only got through the first two sections. Just to make things easy in case you want to finish migrating it to the historical page, I've pasted the whole section below (though you could always retrieve it from the page history). (Note: There ''could'' still be a Pre-Arc 1 section on [[Timelines]], but it would cover backstory, like the "N years ago" sections on [[Magia Record Timeline]] squashed down into an even smaller space.)

Anyway, my main point is that this should page should serve as firstly a brief summary, an overview of the franchise, and secondly as a view of how all the little pieces (events, Magical Girl stories, backstory details, whatever you think is important enough) fit together.

**** '''Summer of 77 CE:''' A chariot race occurs, which Hilarus the Left-Handed wins. Junia and Marius watch the race together.
**** '''Summer of 78 CE:''' After the frequent earthquakes of recent, the city council focuses on rebuilding. Marius announces his marriage to Junia has been approved. Likely around this time, Junia meets a Vestal Maiden of Light and Kyubey, or Master Cubius, who prompts her to become a magical girl. Due to her love for Marius, she refuses.

She tells the other servants that she's Lady Junia's new handmaiden, which the others believe without question, as her power not only allows her to change her appearance, but also makes others not question inconsistencies based on her identity.

**** '''Part 1, 79 CE:''' Himena, Shigure, San, Hagumu, Mitsune, and Miyuri travel back to Pompeii in 79 CE. Thanks to the power of the Rumors, Mitsune has now recovered her ability to walk. Nemu tells them about Amaryllis, a magical girl who altered history. They then find themselves in an unstable space, where time and reality are unstable, and encounter a copy of [[10^−43#10−7|10-7]]. Nemu explains that their interference in an already altered timeline (79 CE) may have caused a time paradox, and that they are in a "Time Paradox Zone," where history is being rewritten. San, Hagumu and Mitsune are caught up in the paradox and separated from the rest of the group. Due to having Nemu's book, Himena is attuned to this time period, so she dreams of Junia and Cornelia’s childhood, where their father announces one will marry Marius.
**** '''Early 77 CE:''' Himena, Shigure, Miyuri and Nemu wake up in Pompeii, two years before the eruption. Cornelia helps them hide and introduces them to Amaryllis, the magical girl who has been warning people about the eruption. Nemu explains two histories: History A, where Pompeii is destroyed, and History B, where Amaryllis succeeded and most people evacuated. Amaryllis’ plan involves Cornelia marrying Marius to gain political influence. The group, now posing as Cornelia’s handmaidens, prepares to attend a banquet at Marius’ villa. Amaryllis explains that the banquet is a critical event where the three influential families—Cornelia’s, Junia’s, and Marius’—will discuss future alliances, including potential marriages. Cornelia is torn between her feelings for Marius and her sister Junia’s happiness. The group encounters and defeats a witch, rescuing Cornelia. They later meet Junia, who is kind and thoughtful, before being taken away by a paradox.
**** '''Summer of 77 CE:''' They reappear later in the year. Amaryllis reveals to them that magical girls in the time period in Ancient Rome were known as Vestal Maidens of Light, which was likely the source of Rome's long-lasting success. Amaryllis and Cornelia are working to spread a prophecy about the impending eruption of Mount Vesuvius through the Cult of Isis, a powerful religious group in Pompeii. Amaryllis uses her metamorphosis magic to disguise herself as a member and deliver the prophecy, claiming it comes from divine sources. They plan to use the upcoming chariot race as proof of their prophetic knowledge, predicting Hilarus the Left-Handed will win. The chariot race coincides with Cornelia’s birthday, and Amaryllis has arranged for Cornelia and Marius to watch the race together, while Junia will celebrate separately. The group encounters a barrier again, this time only a familiar. Amaryllis and Cornelia successfully gain the cooperation of the Cult of Isis by proving the accuracy of their prophecy about Hilarus the Left-Handed’s victory in the chariot race. The priestess of Isis is convinced by the detailed predictions Amaryllis provides, including future events like the death of Emperor Vespasian and the drying up of the Aqua Augusta. The Cult of Isis agrees to prepare its followers for the impending disaster, so Amaryllis and Cornelia plan to extend their efforts to other temples, including those dedicated to Venus and Apollo. They also prepare to leverage Cornelia’s connections, such as attending a tutelage ceremony for the popular actor Paris, to further spread their message. However, the timeline remains unstable, and they suspect that another time paradox event is imminent. The members of the Neo-Magius prepare for the possibility of being transported to another point in time, as has happened before when key conditions were met.
**** '''Summer of 78 CE:''' Amaryllis and Cornelia play a game, but they're interrupted by Himena, Miyuri, and Shigure's arrival after the year-long absence. They discuss the current situation in Pompeii, where the rumors of Mount Vesuvius’ impending eruption have caused some residents and influential figures, including Cornelia’s father, to consider relocating. However, the city council remains divided, with many still favoring reconstruction over evacuation. They also consider seeking the help of Admiral Plinius, a renowned scholar and military leader, to advocate for evacuation.
**** '''[[Amaryllis#Side Story|Amaryllis' MSS]]:'''
***** '''A Maiden Ought to Play Games, 78 CE:''' Amaryllis plays Ludus with Lady Cornelia and encourages her to watch a particular chariot race with him. During a stroll in Pompeii, Miyuri loses her smartphone, which Cornelia recalls seeing earlier in a storage room. Cornelia's father had taken it to a jeweler for appraisal, where Gaius, a relative of Pliny the Elder, showed interest in purchasing it. Concerned about potential historical paradoxes, the group hurries to retrieve it.
***** '''A Spark of Flaring Love:''' Cornelia devises a plan to ask her father to cancel the sale. She attends the chariot race with Marius, while the others search for Gaius. After the match, Amaryllis impersonates Gaius to secure the smartphone, while Himena and others prevent the real Gaius from entering. As the plan unfolds, a labyrinth emerges near the Temple of Venus.
***** '''Love is War:''' Marius unexpectedly arrives on horseback to rescue Cornelia and her father from the supposed ghostly disturbances near the temple. Amaryllis successfully gets the phone while the others detain the real Gaius, who later wakes up confused after the witch's been defeated. The next day, Cornelia prepares for a picnic with Marius and Junia, and Amaryllis returns to playing Ludus with her.
*** '''[[Magia Record Story Puella Historia The Lovers in the Pax Romana Arc|The Lovers in the Pax Romana, continued]]:'''
**** '''Part 1, continued:''' The group travels to Misenum to meet Plinius. Himena suggests using her synthesis magic, as she's now learned to use her power to replicate powers without draining them from others, to replicate Amaryllis’ abilities, allowing others to assist in the plan. They successfully intercept Plinius near the coast, where Cornelia and Amaryllis explain the impending eruption of Mount Vesuvius. Despite revealing future events, including the death of Emperor Vespasian and Plinius’ own fate during the eruption, he refuses to support their cause. The group returns to Cornelia’s villa, where Nemu expresses concern that revealing too much, such as Plinius’ death, may have already disrupted the timeline. The next day, a messenger arrives with a surprising request from Consul Titus, the eldest son of Vespasian and the future emperor, who wishes to meet Cornelia in private.
**** '''Part 2:''' Two days later, Cornelia and Amaryllis meet with Titus, who had been informed of their prophecy and the supposed death of the current emperor by Plinius. He cannot order a mass evacuation without proof, but promises to help evacuate once the eruption begins and to facilitate aid for survivors in Neapolis. After the meeting, Cornelia, Marius, and Junia head to a picnic where Marius announces that his father has approved his engagement to Cornelia. They enjoy a peaceful moment together while Himena, Miyuri, Shigure, and Nemu defeat an offshoot of the original 10-7 witch and then observe the picnic. Nemu explains that the witch they first encountered in 77 CE has been actively interfering with history by creating powerful offshoots and to restore the correct timeline of History B, they must defeat the original witch. That night, Himena has a dream where Amaryllis laments not becoming a Vestal Maiden of Light during the original Pompeii's destruction.
**** '''October of 79 CE:''' Frequent earthquakes and dried water supplies confirm the prophecy. Many residents, influenced by the efforts of Cornelia and Marius' families have already evacuated, but some still remain. The Cult of Isis provides additional ships to aid in the evacuation, and Marius frees charioteers trapped in the barracks, who then help guide people to safety.
**** '''October 24, 79 CE:''' The eruption of Vesuvius begins and Cornelia, Marius, and their families coordinate the evacuation to the shore, where ships await. However, a large group of residents, possessed by a witch, move toward danger. Himena, Miyuri, Shigure, and Nemu confront the 10-7 witch while Amaryllis and Cornelia focus on saving lives. As the situation seems dire, the Roman navy, led by Admiral Plinius, arrives with a massive fleet to assist in the evacuation.
**** In Stabiae, Plinius ensures his fleet rescues as many as possible and instructs his subordinates to record his death as a brave act. To ensure history remains intact, he dies in the eruption.
**** With the arrival of San, Hagumu, and Mitsune, Himena, Shigure and Miyuri manage to defeat the witch. They realize that while they couldn’t save everyone, they succeeded in changing the future and ensuring that many lives were saved. As the eruption of Mount Vesuvius reaches its peak, the remaining residents of Pompeii are evacuated by ship. Cornelia and Marius look forward to rebuilding their lives in Neapolis, when they notice Amaryllis and Junia missing. Amaryllis reflects on her vow to have lived the rest of her life in atonement, dedicating herself to the peace of Rome and honoring the memories of those she couldn’t save. As Junia, she stays in the Pompeii and wears the bracelet given to her by Marius as a reminder of her past and the love she once had. With the timeline restored, the others return to the future.

She encounters and befriends Rena, and later Momoko, and Kaede, unaware that they are from the future. Despite Toyo's cursed reputation, Rena and the others treat her kindly, which deeply moves her. They're confronted by soldiers from Kuna, a rival nation to Yamatai, who mistake Rena for Toyo due to a book they believe is a gift from the Wei Dynasty. After a brief skirmish, the Kuna soldiers retreat with the book, which is Nemu, but not before she tells them that Toyo is the magical girl their mission is based around. Due to their appearance and outfits, Rena accidentally lets it slip that they're from the future, but since the people of the era don't understand the word, they understand it as being a distant, more advanced country. Toyo's group arrives in Yamatai, however, Himiko rejects Toyo and accuses her younger brother of using Toyo as a political pawn. Rena defends Toyo, and the group leaves her quarters, staying in a nearby lodging for the night. Himiko's younger brother explains to Toyo and her friends that the previous shrine maiden candidates were plagued by a curse, leading to disasters. One candidate was possessed, and another sacrificed herself to exorcise the curse. He dismisses the idea that Toyo is the child of a Cursed God, suggesting Himiko’s rejection stems from fear of repeating past tragedies. He vows to make Toyo the successor despite Himiko’s objections. Toyo, feeling lost and rejected, encounters a soldier from Kuna who reveals that Toyo is the child of Himiko and the king of Kuna, not a cursed being. This revelation shocks Toyo and she questions why Himiko hid this from her and why she was treated as cursed. Toyo decides to prove herself by helping a drought-stricken village. Despite initial distrust, Toyo and her friends work to build a canal to prevent flooding when the rain comes. The villagers, seeing their efforts, gradually accept Toyo and join in the work. Himiko arrives to assess Toyo’s work and acknowledges her efforts, accepting her as a successor candidate. However, Toyo collapses from exhaustion and illness. In a tender moment, Himiko comforts Toyo, revealing herself as Toyo’s mother. Toyo expresses her love for Himiko, and the two share a heartfelt connection as Toyo falls asleep.

Their strained relationship is evident as Toyo struggles to connect with Himiko, her mother, despite Himiko's efforts to bond. Toyo attempts to bridge the gap by giving Himiko a poorly chosen gift of cicada shells, which confuses her. Momoko suggests finding a dog as a better gift. Toyo uses her Spirit Arts to locate a strange creature she names Slurpy, insisting it’s a dog. Himiko initially refuses to let Toyo keep Slurpy, fearing it’s dangerous, but reluctantly agrees after Toyo pleads and promises to be responsible. She grows attached to Slurpy, momentarily forgetting her goal of improving her relationship with Himiko.
*** '''Part 2:''' Toyo works tirelessly, using her Spirit Arts to help villagers, with Slurpy assisting her in chaotic but helpful ways. Despite her exhaustion, Toyo continues her duties, ignoring her friends' concerns. Slurpy leads the group to a pond, where they catch fish and enjoy a meal together. Toyo expresses happiness but regrets Slurpy can’t join future outings. Her health declines, and she collapses while playing with Slurpy. Himiko scolds Toyo for overworking and notices Slurpy’s loyalty. Toyo apologizes to Slurpy for her inability to play due to her illness.
*** '''Part 3:''' Toyo’s health worsens, and she struggles to perform daily tasks, feeling guilty for burdening her friends and Slurpy. Himiko decides Slurpy must be sent away, believing dogs carry a curse that harms Toyo. Despite protests, Toyo agrees, thinking it’s best for Slurpy. They share a final playful run, though Toyo struggles to keep up. She urges Slurpy to forget her and live happily, but he refuses to leave. After parting, Toyo reflects on their memories together.
** '''[[Magia Record Story Puella Historia The Heiress of Yamatai Arc|The Heiress of Yamatai, continued]]:'''
*** '''Part 2:''' Crops and livestock across Yamatai are mysteriously withering, leading villagers to believe it’s a curse. Himiko’s younger brother reveals that Kuna has been pressuring Yamatai to make Toyo the successor to avoid war. Himiko uncovers her brother’s plot to manipulate Toyo and use her as a political pawn, but she refuses to comply, deciding instead to resume war with Kuna despite the risks. Toyo’s health deteriorates, and she experiences episodes of paralysis. Himiko, realizing she cannot protect Toyo from her illness or the political turmoil, pleads with Rena and Kaede to take Toyo to the future, where she might be cured. Himiko declares war on Kuna, aiming to protect Yamatai and Toyo from Kuna’s schemes. The war begins, and Yamatai initially struggles against Kuna’s forces. Momoko confronts Himiko, urging her to give Toyo a reason to believe in her actions, as Toyo remains unaware of the true reasons behind the war. As the war rages, Toyo, despite her failing health, is determined to protect her village and the canal they built. She struggles to move but pushes herself, knowing the importance of the canal for the villagers. She is discovered by a Yamatai soldier who insists she return to safety, but Toyo resists. Rena and Kaede arrive and reveal they have built a palanquin to help Toyo move more easily and they support her decision to go to the village. Himiko, comes into possession of Nemu's book, intending to look into its binding method. After hearing them talk about something similar, she reveals to Momoko that she's gravely ill herself, coughing up blood, the illness affecting her face and losing her vision. Toyo, Rena, and Kaede arrive at the village to find it under attack by Kuna soldiers. They deliver Toyo to Himiko, and Rena fights off the soldiers, while Kaede helps evacuate the villagers. Toyo is approached by Kyubey, who offers her a contract to become a magical girl in exchange for a wish. Despite Himiko's warnings about the dangers of such a contract, as the same thing had happened to the previous shrine maiden, Toyo decides to make a wish to become a great leader like her mother, Himiko. She transforms into a magical girl, gaining the strength to surpass her disease, fight and protect her people. Toyo arrives to help Rena, Kaede and Momoko fight the witch responsible for the attack. Himiko passes away, leaving Toyo as her successor. Toyo, though grieving, vows to carry on her mother's legacy and lead Yamatai to prosperity. She addresses the people, assuring them that she will continue to fight for their future, even as the war with Kuna rages on. As they've now fulfilled their mission and collected Iroha's concept, Momoko, Rena and Kaede bid farewell to Toyo and leave the time period. During one of the following nights, a servant of Himiko leads Toyo to a water supply, which Himiko had rigged with her knowledge of Spirit Arts to cause a display of fireflies. Toyo breaks down in tears, expressing her longing for her mother and her determination to live up to her legacy.

Olga insists on becoming a magical girl to share the burden, however, Gunhild vehemently opposes this, even killing Kyubey to prevent Olga from making a contract. Gunhild compares the life of a magical girl to the eternal battles in Valhalla, and that her sacrifices will earn her a place there after death.

** '''[[Magia Record Story Puella Historia The Rakshasi of Tibet|The Rakshasi of Tibet]]:'''
*** '''Part 1:''' Lavi, Alexandra and Urara arrive in 13th-century Tibet, seeking the Rakshasi, a figure who will end the war between Tibet and Mongolia and bring peace. Lavi discovers that the nunnery is training young girls to become Rakshasi, with Heruka being a key figure. Dolma, the leader of the nunnery, reveals that they exiled the adults who tried to stop the Rakshasi ceremony, as they believed in fighting the Mongols. Meanwhile, Alexandra and Urara pose as performers and are captured by the Mongol leader, Dolo'adai, who plans to use their powers against the convent. Lavi learns that the Rakshasi are magical girls chosen through a ritual with a mysterious figure named Lord Jataka, Kyubey. Lavi and Nemu discuss the discrepancies in history, noting that the nunnery's role and the existence of "junior nuns" are not part of the original historical record. They surmise that Heruka is likely the Rakshasi mentioned in history and Lavi decides not to interfere with Heruka's fate, as it would alter history. A Mongolian soldier is captured after attempting to poison the nunnery's well. Heruka interrogates him, as she can speak Mongolian, revealing that the Mongols believe the Rakshasi attacked them first, which lead to their invasion. Heruka is shaken by the accusations but keeps the details from Dolma. Lavi learns that another junior nun who speaks Mongolian, likely Alexandra or Urara, is with the Mongols. Accompanied by Heruka, Lavi reunites with Alexandra and Urara, where they discuss the historical discrepancies and the possibility of a witch influencing events. Nemu suggests they may need to intervene to ensure the Rakshasi ends the war as history dictates. Alexandra and Urara decide to stay with the Mongols to gather intelligence, while Lavi and Heruka return to the nunnery through a hidden entrance to prepare for the impending attack. The Mongols discover the hidden entrance to the town and plan to use it to launch a surprise attack. They set a trap, using false information to lure the nunnery's defenders into an ambush. Alexandra and Urara learn of the impending attack and reveal that the Mongols' plan, but Heruka deduces that the attack will likely be a night raid, not at dawn as initially suggested. She prepares the nunnery for an ambush, evacuating the townsfolk and organizing a counterattack. The nunnery's defenders, led by Heruka and Lavi, successfully ambush the Mongols, but the Mongols use a feigned retreat to lure them into a trap and successfully counterattack. The town is set ablaze and Lavi stays behind to hold off the Mongols while the others retreat. Heruka is overwhelmed by guilt, believing her actions led to the town's destruction. She asks the villagers to restrain Dolma so she can fulfill her role as a Rakshasi. Heruka then encounters Kyubey, who offers her a contract to become a magical girl. Heruka accepts, wishing to erase the memory of the Rakshasi from everyone's minds to end the war. Heruka's wish changes history, erasing the memory of the Rakshasi, even among the Folklore of Zero, and altering the perception of the nunnery. The Mongols withdraw, and the war comes to a ceasefire. Heruka spreads the ashes of her loved ones, symbolizing their return to the earth, and embraces her role as a Rakshasi. After the nunnery is restored, Dolma decides to leave and join the Order of the White Hill to seek support for the nunnery. She and Heruka share a heartfelt farewell, with Heruka giving Dolma a manuscript to help her learn Mongolian.
*** '''Part 2:''' Heruka, now seen as a savior by her followers, confronts Mongolian soldiers. Despite being shot with arrows, she remains unharmed, which the soldiers interpret as a miracle. Many Mongols abandon their weapons and convert to her faith, believing she is an incarnation of the Buddha as her magic pacifies people's hearts. Heruka’s influence grows, and she continues to spread her teachings, aiming to bring peace and Shambhala to the world. Meanwhile, the Mongolian commander, Dolo'adai, is ordered to destroy Heruka’s followers, but his soldiers are reluctant, fearing divine punishment. Lavi, Alexandra, and Urara observe Heruka’s growing influence and success in stopping the war. The group decides to investigate further by studying religious texts to understand Heruka’s role and the concept of the Rakshasi. Dolma, now part of the Order of the White Hill, successfully negotiates support for the nunnery from the temple’s head priest. Lavi, Nemu, and Urara are studying a palm-leaf manuscript about Tibet’s history, which mentions the Rakshasi. They discuss the possibility of it being a mythological account of Tibet’s founding, as they've forgotten about the Rakshasi due to Heruka's wish. Meanwhile, Heruka arrives and informs them that the Mongolian Army has attacked their village and others, resuming their invasion. Survivors beg for vengeance against the Mongols and a wounded Mongolian soldier reveals that the general has allied with the Rakshasi, and Heruka comforts him as he dies. The group learns that the Mongols plan to continue their attacks, exhausting them. Later, Deki, another girl at the nunnery, informs Heruka that Dolma has been caught in the fighting as a mediator between Heruka and the Order of the White Hill, who seek peace with the Mongols. Returning to her village, she finds it destroyed by the Mongols. The villagers, who revere Heruka as their savior, refuse to accept peace with the Mongols. Dolma is attacked by Mongolian soldiers but escapes and reunites with Heruka. Heruka meets with former Lamas and nunnery priests, and proposes a decisive battle against the Mongols and enlists their help. Dolma convinces the Temple Head Priest to support the plan, believing in Heruka’s miracle. Meanwhile, the Mongolian general, Dolo'adai, prepares for the final battle and agrees to meet Heruka’s group on Mongolian soil. Heruka shares a childhood story about her grandmother, who made her believe butter tea was sweet. Heruka and her group arrive in Mongolia after days of travel. Dolma insists on being the interpreter, but it’s revealed that everyone, including the Temple Head Priest, understands Mongolian. They are led to a location resembling a Tibetan monastery, where General Dolo'adai awaits. Heruka and Dolo'adai exchange tense words, and Heruka reveals her plan to end the fighting by becoming a Mongolian officer. Heruka shocks her followers by claiming to betray them, offering them to the Mongols as a "gift." She insults her companions and declares herself a Rakshasi. Heruka’s followers and the Mongols are horrified, and the Temple Head Priest accuses her of being a fraud. Dolma defends Heruka, but Heruka continues to play the villain, claiming she manipulated everyone for her own gain. She even accuses herself of killing Dolma’s family and others in their hometown. The Mongols, convinced of her evil nature, prepare to execute her. Heruka’s followers turn against her, and she is taken away. Heruka’s former Lama testifies against her, but Dolma tries to defend Heruka, who continues to play the villain. She reveals her plan to lure out the witch, the source of hatred and conflict, by creating a situation filled with hatred. Heruka is condemned as a Rakshasi, and the Mongols prepare to execute her. Heruka confronts the witch and uses her magic to put everyone to sleep, but Lavi resists and follows her. Heruka confronts the witch, realizing her magic is being canceled out by the witch’s power of hatred. Despite being at a disadvantage in a direct fight, Lavi and the others arrive to help, revealing they resisted Heruka’s magic because they wanted to protect her. Together, they manage to defeat the witch, but Heruka’s magic weakens, and the people, now awake, turn against her, throwing rocks and calling her a monster. Dolma defends Heruka and they flee together. Lavi and the others hold off the Mongols, allowing Dolma and Heruka to escape until they reach a flower of blue poppies. After Heruka’s execution, Dolma struggles with grief and anger, but Lavi encourages her to record the truth about Heruka, ensuring her legacy is preserved. Dolma travels to Mongolia, helping to spread a new script while secretly inscribing the truth about Heruka in monuments. She reflects on Heruka’s sacrifice and the blue flowers that symbolize her hope.

: The [[Timeline (Historical)]] is meant to have the original historical records of the events that happened. Puella Historia has the members of the cast change the past, so while it might not belong in [[Timelines]], it's not for Historical either. Would you agree to placing it in [[Magia Record Timeline]] and the game section of [[Timelines]] to just direct to it? [[User:Sweet Beanie|Sweet Beanie]] ([[User talk:Sweet Beanie|talk]]) 12:45, 2 March 2025 (UTC)

:: The page has a section for the Magia Record timeline too. Also, how do we know they change the past? I'm not aware of any reason to believe that either the Tart events or the Puella Historia events result in changing the past. I haven't watched the Puella Historia finale mind you, so perhaps there's something there, but if you're merely ''assuming'' they change the past then I don't think that's a good assumption. ~ [[User:Celtic Minstrel|Celtic Minstrel]] ([[User talk:Celtic Minstrel|talk]]) 14:32, 2 March 2025 (UTC)

::: I meant the history before the Kamihama gangs went back in time. For example, originally, the Tart stuff goes exactly as in the manga, then Iroha, Yachiyo and Ui go to the past and make some changes, even if just in Tart's dream. Another example would be how Toyo had no friends until KaMoRe came from the future. The end result is mostly similar, but the original Toyo never met anyone named Rena Minami. Historical should be for the events without involving time travel, while other articles which include the present should tell of the time travel stuff, because it starts in the present (like Present-day Kamihama for Puella Historia), they go back in time (like Mirage of Alexandria, make some minute changes, usually preventing 10^-43 from messing things up), then they go back to the present. It's why I didn't bring the Historia MSS stories that didn't involve the girls from Kamihama to [[Timelines]] but added them as references in Historical. The people from the present didn't affect Ebony's MSS since it happened before the Tokime arrived to Alexandria. I intend to put the other events of the recent past in Kamihama to the Historical Magia Record section too, unless they involve any time travel. This would also be easier since Historical overall has less detail than I've put into my draft of events.

:::: Okay, so it seems our disagreement can basically be traced back to a disagreement on what it really means to travel back in time. There seems to be an implicit assumption that Homura's form of time travel is the only form that exists, yet Amaryllis directly proves otherwise – her time travel method is very different. That already shows that there are multiple forms of time travel in the setting. That in turn implies that there's no guarantee that any two instances of time travel have properties in common. So, when analyzing time travel, we should avoid making assumptions. And it should be acknowledged that applying "common sense" to time travel just doesn't work. ~ [[User:Celtic Minstrel|Celtic Minstrel]] ([[User talk:Celtic Minstrel|talk]]) 08:13, 3 March 2025 (UTC)
::::: Yeah, Tart events always played weirdly with the rules. Amaryllis' time travel is the most conventional, Iroha also did it once with that leaf in the Arc 2 finale. Homura supposedly goes back in time AND switches realities (Guitarist Kyosuke timeline). Mirrors time travel is weird because, the moment the mirror they traveled from shatters, the people traveling through it go back to where hey came from. Don't even get me started with Null Magica. Mikoto's was the only one that was said to bring paradoxes and potentially destroy the world, but it's ultimately unconfirmed. [[User:Sweet Beanie|Sweet Beanie]] ([[User talk:Sweet Beanie|talk]]) 10:15, 3 March 2025 (UTC)
:::::: There is no such thing as "conventional" in time travel. The "switches realities" theory for Homura's time travel doesn't seem to be canon – Homura Tamura rolls it up to ridiculous, but there is nothing whatsoever in the show to support it (guitarist Kyosuke is ''clearly not'' canon). From what we ''actually see'', her time travel is something like "stuffing her future soul into her past body". Amaryllis's time travel is the closest we get to a "wormhole" or "portal", where two versions of Amaryllis exist simultaneously. I think the only thing we can really conclude is that there are no rules for time travel in the setting – each time traveller has her own rules. ~ [[User:Celtic Minstrel|Celtic Minstrel]] ([[User talk:Celtic Minstrel|talk]]) 00:34, 4 March 2025 (UTC)
::::::: I hate to bring up old points again, especially since the matter for which this discussion started has been settled, but if Guitarist Kyosuke can't be taken as canon, since the information comes from a witch card, then what about Cleopatra and Himiko? Why are the production notes of Cleopatra and Himiko from episode 11 taken as canon proof they're magical girls, and the Historia versions of them are taken as a separate universe? From what we saw, we never got confirmation that that was Cleopatra or Himiko except runes of their names and production notes saying they were. Toyo's event even had a cop-out with justifying that the japanese girl from episode 12 was Himiko's shrine maiden. I don't even think we saw Cleopatra's soul gem, and it's not like Tart (from episode 12) where it's so specific and has hard evidence that it's Jeanne of Arc as a magical girl. [[User:Sweet Beanie|Sweet Beanie]] ([[User talk:Sweet Beanie|talk]]) 09:49, 4 March 2025 (UTC)
:::::::: The identity of Cleopatra does not depend on any production notes. The scenes showing her in the anime are very clearly her. I don't know whether or not the same applies to Himiko, but I would say runes of their names are sufficient as evidence to their canon identity. I'm not sure if there's direct evidence in the anime that Cleopatra was a magical girl, though – it's possible it's merely inferred from the fact that all the ''other'' historical characters depicted are magical girls. She ''is'' clasping something to her chest that could be a soul gem, but unlike with Tart, we can't see any evidence that it ''is''. But the main point here is that their identity is clear enough from the anime without resorting to production notes. This is ''definitely'' true for Cleopatra at least. ~ [[User:Celtic Minstrel|Celtic Minstrel]] ([[User talk:Celtic Minstrel|talk]]) 00:14, 5 March 2025 (UTC)
:::: Now, I am not aware of any reason to believe that "the history before the Kamihama gangs went back in time" is something that exists. It's quite within reason to believe that they went back in time because they went back in time. Time travel messes up causality, after all. I am not aware of any convincing evidence that Yachiyo and Ui "make some changes" to the past. Indeed, the Maiden of Hope explicitly questions this theory – it points out that the fact of "Tart remembered Yachiyo and Iroha" may have been true already before they went back, and they just didn't know. It also points out that the sweet dreams charm with the red and blue candles has no origin – Melissa learned it from Iroha, and then Melissa passed it down through history until Iroha learned it. ~ [[User:Celtic Minstrel|Celtic Minstrel]] ([[User talk:Celtic Minstrel|talk]]) 08:13, 3 March 2025 (UTC)
::::: I actually agree with that. However, I think historical should have the barebones of the story, like "Cleopatra dies," since it's ultimately unconfirmed whether they were always meant to be there. [[User:Sweet Beanie|Sweet Beanie]] ([[User talk:Sweet Beanie|talk]]) 10:15, 3 March 2025 (UTC)
:::: So unless we can find references to ''strongly support'' the idea that history was changed (such as an actual non-speculative statement in the game itself about what the history was like "before the change"), then I think it's simpler to assume it wasn't. Based on that premise, they didn't go back in time and change history – they went back in time so that they could replicate the true history that led to their present day. I doubt either version of the theory is strongly-supported by the evidence, mind you, but without explicit data on "pre-change" histories, anything you put there would be speculation. ~ [[User:Celtic Minstrel|Celtic Minstrel]] ([[User talk:Celtic Minstrel|talk]]) 08:13, 3 March 2025 (UTC)
::::: An argument I could make to say that they weren't always meant to go to the past is that Mikoto, having seen the past, didn't comment on the Kamihama girls being there or change her mind by saying "well at some point I agree with them so why prolong the inevitable". The Pillar of Tomorrow has her talk with Iroha about how she's satisfied with Iroha now after she's done with her work. [[User:Sweet Beanie|Sweet Beanie]] ([[User talk:Sweet Beanie|talk]]) 10:15, 3 March 2025 (UTC)

::::: Ultimately, can we agree to not put any time travel in Historical? I feel like Timelines is the exact place for time travel shenanigans? [[User:Sweet Beanie|Sweet Beanie]] ([[User talk:Sweet Beanie|talk]]) 10:15, 3 March 2025 (UTC)
:::::: I wouldn't say it's the place for "time travel shenanigans". It started out as an analysis of timelines formed specifically from Homura's actions, not timelines in general. It would certainly make sense to briefly cover the Historia and Tart time travel situations in [[Timelines]], but I'd say that should slot in from the future perspective, rather than in a "historical" section. In other words, it's mentioned at the point when they travel back in time, rather than having a section to itself in the past. But giving a full summary of the event would probably be too cluttered, I think.
:::::: I think the main detail of the Puella Historia stories ''definitely'' belongs in [[Timeline (Historical)]], though if you ''really'' want to phrase that summary to avoid mentioning the time travellers, I guess it wouldn't hurt. From the context of the Historia series, the goal is to "prevent the past from changing", so I think it's most reasonable to conclude that the time travellers (including the Witch of Symbols) had only very minor net effects on the past events. And the History A vs History B of Amaryllis's story also belongs there, in my opinion. ~ [[User:Celtic Minstrel|Celtic Minstrel]] ([[User talk:Celtic Minstrel|talk]]) 00:34, 4 March 2025 (UTC)

== Too Many Files ==

Why are you uploading the entire UI of Magia Record? We don't need most of those files. The backgrounds and the item icons are fine in theory, though I think about half of them are duplicates. Most of the rest is useless. There are probably a few exceptions, but we definitely don't need stuff like bits of buttons that are cut up so the button can be made any width desired. ~ [[User:Celtic Minstrel|Celtic Minstrel]] ([[User talk:Celtic Minstrel|talk]]) 20:11, 28 May 2025 (UTC)
: Sorry, I'm done with the files now. I thought it would be better to have them than not have them, especially since a lot of backgrounds are missing from where they should be. I'm done with bulk files for now, at most I will upload a few files for magia record event galleries.[[User:Sweet Beanie|Sweet Beanie]] ([[User talk:Sweet Beanie|talk]]) 20:14, 28 May 2025 (UTC)
:: I don't think there's any worth in having the buttons that you click on in the game, unless there's some nice picture on it. I haven't gone through your list in detail yet, but I'm probably going to delete about 1/4 of the ones that aren't backgrounds when I find time. And there's '''''definitely'''''' no worth in having the numbers in a special font. It's nice that you're helping by uploading missing stuff, but in future please do triage ''before'' uploading, not after. ~ [[User:Celtic Minstrel|Celtic Minstrel]] ([[User talk:Celtic Minstrel|talk]]) 20:23, 28 May 2025 (UTC)
::: Of course, thank you. [[User:Sweet Beanie|Sweet Beanie]] ([[User talk:Sweet Beanie|talk]]) 20:28, 28 May 2025 (UTC)
::::Looks like I was right about duplicates. I found at least one case where the same files were uploaded under different names, on [[Mikazuki Villa]]. I think you'd find most of them if you go through all the backgrounds and file them into appropriate articles – the duplicate would already be there in most cases. ~ [[User:Celtic Minstrel|Celtic Minstrel]] ([[User talk:Celtic Minstrel|talk]]) 00:33, 29 May 2025 (UTC)
:::::I'll get to putting all the backgrounds to where they should be soon.[[User:Sweet Beanie|Sweet Beanie]] ([[User talk:Sweet Beanie|talk]]) 08:42, 29 May 2025 (UTC)
: Alright, I have:
:* Deleted a ton of files that are just particle effects, backgrounds, or pure text.
:* Deleted the duplicate icon images and categorized the rest in [[:Category:Magia Record Item Icons]] (fortunately the wiki identified these duplicates for me). If you know anything about those icons, you can add their info to [[Magia Record Items]].
:* Deleted the duplicate disk icons and element icons.
:* Filtered out a few clearly useful ones, such as the [[Kimochi]] stones.
:* Collected the rest here.

== Irregulars ==

<blockquote>Why are Riz's former companions on this category? I can see why those contracted by Isabeau, but they were contracted by Kyubey.</blockquote>
I included them because I assumed that Riz's wish would have also applied to them and not just Tart. ~ [[User:Amaterasu|Amaterasu]] ([[User talk:Amaterasu|talk]]) 13:55, 13 June 2025 (UTC)

== Labyrinth Spaces ==

<blockquote>Homura was able to enhance one of her rooms to turn it into a white room with floating graphics about Walpurgisnacht through this, and this application of magic seems to do little more than create a small pocket dimension for extra space and visuals.</blockquote>

Where is the justification for this? It sounds like more of a fan theory than established fact to me (in which case it should use the speculation templates), but it's possible I'm missing something. ~ [[User:Celtic Minstrel|Celtic Minstrel]] ([[User talk:Celtic Minstrel|talk]]) 17:54, 21 June 2025 (UTC)

== Common Abilities ==

While I'm on the topic of possible fan theories, it strikes me as varying levels of questionable to include the following in "common abilities":

* Storage/Hammerspace: I can maybe see justification for this in the robes of the Wings of the Magius or Elisa's weapon (which was created by Pernelle, so it's not the magically-summoned weapon that many girls use). But even then, I'm not sure we have sufficient evidence to say that that's an ability of the girl, rather than an ability of the robes or the weapon. Also, when it comes to the robes, there's some evidence that they ''don't'' get stored in any kind of hammerspace.
* Energy Blasts: If this was such an easy ability to learn, how are there so many magical girls that have no way to attack?
* Summon Barriers: This is kind of unclear. It seems to be fairly common for magical girls to learn barrier-like defensive abilities (both Mami and Kyoko did) but I don't see the justification for calling the ability "common to all magical girls".
* Clones: Very few magical girls have been demonstrated to use clones, so it seems very far-fetched to call it "common to all magical girls".
* Teleportation: As above – teleportation actually seems to be a very rare ability as far as I can tell.

It would be less of an issue if the section was "abilities that many magical girls learn" rather than "abilities that all magical girls possess". But other entries in the section clearly ''are'' abilities that all possess. ~ [[User:Celtic Minstrel|Celtic Minstrel]] ([[User talk:Celtic Minstrel|talk]]) 17:54, 21 June 2025 (UTC)

Got a couple more to add:

* Conjuration: I'm not aware of any concrete examples of magical girls conjuring random items. The most notable example, Mami's muskets, is actually a counter-example – she built those muskets from her ribbons. And if she can build a musket from ribbons, she can probably build a teacup too.

* Containers: I'm only aware of two magical girls (Mitama and Niko Kanna) who've created containers (ignoring Alina and her little green cubes, as that's explicitly her unique power). Thus, it seems to me that this should be mentioned as powers of those two girls, rather than in common powers.

~ [[User:Celtic Minstrel|Celtic Minstrel]] ([[User talk:Celtic Minstrel|talk]]) 23:28, 21 June 2025 (UTC)

==Bulk Explanation==

I'll give the explanations for each of them. How I justify all of it is that if many girls have the same ability, which is nt their unique ability, then it can be learned to some extent. Maybe there should be a new section for "Learnable Abilities":

* Labyrinth Spaces: Homura's room did have magic added to it. I called it a labyrinth space because it shifts to Homura's emotions and memories when she hugs Madoka. But that may be non-diegetic. However, Madoka also saw the murals of Walpurgisnacht and asking her about it. Homura couldn't have possibly had that room on her own, so it seems reasonable to be a common application of magic. My logic is that if a power isn't classified as unique to the girl, then it's something learnable. In one of the Tart events, Minou had also added enchantments and stuff to the space around her territory, but it wasn't clear what she'd done. In Kazumi, several characters (like Umika, Niko and Kazumi) did it in various ways, and not just inside the freezer, but that's where it was most common.
* Storage/Hammerspace: Many girls just kind of pull small stuff out of nowhere, but the clearest example of the summoning thing for the storage is when Matsuri pulled out a grief seed from a magical sigil. It is possible the Feathers' robes have the power to store them, but at the very least, Iroha, Kuroe and Matsuri have all stored small objects somewhere on their person (usually just grief seeds, but it still counts). Elisa and Tart's weapons are also proof of this, as well as the obvious Homura shield.
* Energy Blasts: The Feathers attack Eve en mass during the AniReco finale. Feathers are also generally weak, plus Homura also used the same technique, same with Kyoko in AniReco. It stands to reason that it takes a bit of training.
* Summon Barriers: It was already there when I got to the article, but it is a normal application of magic which has been done many times. Natsuki deliberately learned it, and as you said, Kyoko and Mami also did it. Yuuri did the same thing too.
* Clones: Mami and Kanae are obvious, but it's clearly a learned ability that the girls can learn since Kanae and Mami are both different, plus these clones were clearly different from Kyoko's phantom clone ability.
* Teleportation: If you look at the battle animations, many girls are able to use it in short bursts. And since Suzune was able to learn it with her fire magic, as well as so many battle and magia animations, it seems to be a learnable thing.

I'll add and split these and others into "abilities that magical girls can learn" or something along those linesas you say.

: I have quite a lot to say here, so I'm going to split my response up into one spoilerbox per entry. Suffice to say though that I'm not convinced by your arguments. Most of them seem to be full of holes. ~ [[User:Celtic Minstrel|Celtic Minstrel]] ([[User talk:Celtic Minstrel|talk]]) 23:15, 21 June 2025 (UTC)

<blockquote>Homura's room did have magic added to it.</blockquote>This is what we're trying to determine, so it's not part of the argument.
<blockquote>I called it a labyrinth space because it shifts to Homura's emotions and memories when she hugs Madoka.</blockquote>I'll assume that "it shifts when she hugs Madoka" is a fact. What makes you believe that the shift is in response to Homura's emotions? ~ [[User:Celtic Minstrel|Celtic Minstrel]] ([[User talk:Celtic Minstrel|talk]]) 23:15, 21 June 2025 (UTC)
: Labyrinths shifting to memories and emotions is a thing that happens. It's unknown if it is diegetic, but there's a difference when emotional moments happen in the normal world, and when they happen in labyrinths.
:: It's just like what happens in the labyrinth of Charlotte in episode 3 (when Mami cries to Madoka and the scenery changes in response to Mami's emotions, being bright when she feels relieved)
:: The labyrinth of HN Elly in episode 4 (Madoka's memories are on display on the TVs)
:: Oktavia's labyrinth also shows memories (of Sayaka and Kyoko when Kyoko and Madoka enter the long aquarium walls)
:: Since Rebellion takes place in a labyrinth, this happens way more, like when Homura and Kyoko walk without the bus, the big tvs behind Mami and Homura showing Charlotte, the flowers responding to Homura and Madoka on the field. (It also happens more than normal, because Homura's the witch, so I can understand that this is a non-normal case)
:: Bottom line, the direction of art for when something emotional happens in a labyrinth, or labyrinth-like space, is different from when they're in the real world, as compared to labyrinths, especially with the memories being reflected on surfaces, which is what happens in Homura's white room when she cries and hugs Madoka. The memories may be non-diegetic, but the change of lighting and scenery is still something that only happens in Labyrinths, including the pendulum room.

:::You have completely missed the point.

<blockquote>Homura couldn't have possibly had that room on her own,</blockquote>This doesn't seem to be a reasonable initial assumption. I don't think anything was ever said about it directly, and it seems quite plausible to me for it to be something like a "video wall", or perhaps some form of video projection. In other words, the wall can be explained by technology, so bringing in magic as an explanation isn't necessary. ~ [[User:Celtic Minstrel|Celtic Minstrel]] ([[User talk:Celtic Minstrel|talk]]) 23:15, 21 June 2025 (UTC)
: I can understand this being a technological room (maybe Homura stole some money or equipment), but nothing hinted at that, plus looking at the other room in Homura's apartment (the one where she googled 'how to make a bomb' in episode 10) it's very different. Additionally, the room's layout reflects a clock with the seats, there's an invisible pendulum being swung around whose shadow we see all the time. This doesn't seem like a normal room, is what I'm trying to say. I get that the technology in the show is advanced, but for a student to just have a white empty room taking up more than one floor is very unlikely. But it is ultimately possible. It just doesn't seem outside the realm of possibility for an experienced Magical Girl to learn to use aspects of her witch, especially since a lot of magic takes the look of those INU Curry assets (even when used by magical girls). Additionally, this is confirmed by Episode 10 when Homura's making the bomb that this is her apartment where she stayed after getting out of the hospital, she didn't go to a different one after the second timeline.
[[User:Sweet Beanie|Sweet Beanie]] ([[User talk:Sweet Beanie|talk]]) 08:06, 22 June 2025 (UTC)
::I don't know why you're assuming Homura stole something. As far as I know, we don't have any evidence to suggest that Homura can't afford expensive equipment. (We also have no evidence to suggest that she ''can'' though, unless you count this room itself as evidence.) Furthermore, I'm not aware of any evidence that suggests the room was built by Homura – it could've easily been already there in her home, set up by her parents at some time in the past. I can see that some of your other arguments here are reasonable arguments for it maybe being magical though. I think it's reasonable to say that it ''might'' be magical and it might not be and we just don't have enough information to be sure either way. ~ [[User:Celtic Minstrel|Celtic Minstrel]] ([[User talk:Celtic Minstrel|talk]]) 20:39, 22 June 2025 (UTC)

: There's quite a few occasions where the Freezer has non-normal imagery in the back, again showing the emotions of the girls. However, with Kazumi's artstyle it's difficult to know what's real and what's in the character's minds.
: During the fight with Kazumi in the freezer, it also changes a lot, the space itself warps and the pillars move up and down in accordance to what the girls need (like when Mirai tries to save Saki). While this may be a technological feat, but they weren't using any device to make that happen, the pillars just knew how and when to make that happen. But again, the entrance to the Freezer itself was only opened to the saints' gems, so isn't that an aspect of "enchanting the environment" through magic in and of itself? It just doesn't seem out of the realm of possibility to imbue magic into a room to make it completely white, or somewhat respondent to one's input.
: In the Tart event, I recall talks about how the quarters of Minou (or rather the castle, while they were trying to reach the bell) had magic throughout it, but Minou's special cuz she has benefitted from many contracts, and wedon't know what it was since it was just dialogue in the game. Ultimately, this is the weakest, but I thougt it's worth bringing up.

:: Regarding the Freezer, it sounds less likely to be technological than Homura's room, though it's still possible. On the other hand, from your description here, I wouldn't conclude it's a labyrinth barrier either.

When Kuroe refused to give the grief seed to kuro in the flashback, she touches her pocket, but it's like how girls' phones stay in their pocket when they're in civilian form, and then when they transform, they just temporarily disappear and it's not acknowledged.

:: If it's only grief seeds being pulled out from apparently nowhere though, I don't think that necessarily implies any kind of generic storage magic.

<blockquote>The Feathers attack Eve en mass during the AniReco finale.</blockquote>Hmm, I suppose things that the feathers use can reasonably be extrapolated to "any magical girl can learn this". But when exactly did they use energy blasts? My understanding is that the feathers attack by enchanting chains to move according to their will, making it essentially a form of telekinesis, as well as a specific application of enchantments. I don't know how that leads to energy blasts. ~ [[User:Celtic Minstrel|Celtic Minstrel]] ([[User talk:Celtic Minstrel|talk]]) 23:15, 21 June 2025 (UTC)
: When Eve is bound, as well as flying overhead, the feathers and presumably many girls from Kamihama just shoot glowing projectiles at her. The chains were also just a weapon they could control, but the blasts of magic were done by so many girls that it seems safe to assume anyone can learn to do that. Many magia attacks also have the girls summo orbs or beams of energy regardless as well.

::This one seems the most harmless to me.

Kyoko's barrier is made of criss-crossed chains, Mami's is made out of ribbons, and Yuuri's if I recall correctly was some kind of force shield. I don't know what Natsuki's was like. But 4 people creating 4 dramatically different types of barriers doesn't seem like it screams "this is something anyone can learn".

: I'll add on to every case.
:: Natsuki's is learned and we don't see it. We can safely say that at least she can learn it.
:: Mami's was made out of her ribbons, so we can exclude it as her ribbon magic instead of just a barrier, even though there was a sort of effect around the ribbons clearly indicating a border was there, but I understand not including this.
:: Kyoko's barriers were made from chains, but in the magia record anime, she did also make a sort of protective bubble when helping Iroha.
:: Yuuri's was a force shield which damaged whoever got close, but we ultimately don't know what happens to those who would have touched Natsuki's, Mami's or Kyoko's barriers either.
:: Another case of this that I forgot to mention is Homura herself. When Oriko attacked the school, Homura created a shield around Madoka, which was similarly a bubble shape like Kyoko's (in anireco) and Mami's (in episode 3).

: Off the top of my head, here are the girls that clearly teleport (excluding special variants) :
:: Pernelle (that's like her whole thing, but it may be her special magic, so I'll continue with more examples, I also won't mention Minou for obvious reasons)
:: Suzune (her heat haze was explicitly clarified to be a teleportation or escape spell in Suzune event 1 and 2. In the ladder, she randomly ended up near Aimi (I think it was Aimi but it might've been another girl) and Suzune herself was surprised)
:: Anime Mifuyu (it can't be her hallucinations, since she left Kuroe behind in season 2 episode 2.)
:: Amaryllis (she literally made a portal and threw herself through it while encased in her giant dice cube)
:: Alexandra in her animations does it by playing her harp.
:: Yuna's is unclear on whether it was speed or teleporting to me, but I'll leave it as a probably not.
:: It's unclear if Shigure's magia had teleportation or the fast movement as you said, but she's never been shown to be that fast in the story. However, I'll still have this as a no.
::: I think we can trust the animations too, since Himena was flying through the sky in chapter 12, unless you watch her magia, you wouldn't know how she did that.

Anyway, that aside…

:::::Alexandra, Yuna, Shigure: These are judged from the animations, where you can't trust the concept of space at all. Appearing right in front of the enemy doesn't necessarily mean they teleported there – the grid-based battlefield is not an accurate representation of each girl's location, so you could easily judge that they and the enemy being targeted just happened to be face-to-face at that moment. I do agree that all three magia animations can easily be interpreted as teleportation, though I'd say Yuna and Shigure give more of a "moved very fast" impression, but it's only weak evidence that they might be able to teleport. ~ [[User:Celtic Minstrel|Celtic Minstrel]] ([[User talk:Celtic Minstrel|talk]]) 20:39, 22 June 2025 (UTC)
:::::: Some of these are debatable, (especially Mifuyu and Suzune) but I'll relent since it doesn't seem common enough. Plus Hikaru and Yuna both learned new abilities because of their personal magics, but they're just heat resistance and making minions, both very unique and unrelated. Plus Ria predicted the future once, so I ultimately don't think it matters. What they can learn seems pretty subjective to the specific girl in most cases.

I would say that Scene 0 does not have any map.

I remember you uploading the texture of one of the Scene 0 windows (deleted now), so I know they're ''somewhere'', I wanna try(?) arranging them so that we can have them with transparent backgrounds (since its just me arranging textures off of screenshots it won't be very accurate, but if this is our only way of getting them now, I wanna do it). - [[User:TheresaFrog421|TheresaFrog421]] ([[User talk:TheresaFrog421|talk]]) 15:22, 4 June 2026 (UTC)

I just remembered something I wanted to also ask for- When Witches are in Score Attacks, their Witch Kiss is displayed in the Score Attack menu, and I know that when Uwasa are Score Attack bosses Uwasa-san's face is displayed there. I know that the "emblem" files are tied to the Chamber of Light, and that the Uwasa don't have Uwasa-san's face there, so is there a way to get that file of somehow? It would be a nice addition to the Enemy pages. - [[User:TheresaFrog421|TheresaFrog421]] ([[User talk:TheresaFrog421|talk]]) 18:08, 4 June 2026 (UTC)

: I found these (I couldn't find the third Uwasa icon, I looked everywhere it's just nonexistent). I'll look for the score attack stuff in the meantime, though if I could get the file names for anything in score attack that has been uploaded, it will be easier. Until then, these are all I could find ~ [[User:Sweet Beanie|Sweet Beanie]] ([[User talk:Sweet Beanie|talk]]) 10:40, 5 June 2026 (UTC)

::Thank you! I don't remember a SINGLE thing that's unique to the Score attacks that has been uploaded here, so I have no idea what the file names could be, but thank you so much again. - [[User:TheresaFrog421|TheresaFrog421]] ([[User talk:TheresaFrog421|talk]]) 11:00, 5 June 2026 (UTC)

[[File:Corbeau Memory Window.png|thumb]]
: Coming back here cause I realized, if its possible to get Witch Kisses from the windows (Like you did with Winchester's Kiss), could you get the Witch's Kiss from Corbeau's Window? - [[User:TheresaFrog421|TheresaFrog421]] ([[User talk:TheresaFrog421|talk]]) 22:51, 6 July 2026 (UTC)
::Seems like it'd be possible, but it might be a little difficult to erase the line down the centre... does Corbeau not have a witch kiss elsewhere, like from the Score Attack? (Oh, but if it's a texture file, perhaps the line won't be in the actual image, so you could be lucky. On the other hand, textures are sometimes at a weird angle, so who knows.) ~ [[User:Celtic Minstrel|Celtic Minstrel]] ([[User talk:Celtic Minstrel|talk]]) 02:26, 7 July 2026 (UTC)

== Timelines Ready ==

Putting this here cause idk if you're caught up on the timelines talk page, the list is "done". We agreed to just fuse Darc into Historical, same for Kazumi and Suzune into the "prelude" of the timelines. We also agreed that if any of them are big enough they could deserve their own pages, but not right now. We don't really know what to do with the Kirara Magica stuff as we decided that Other/Alt doesnt really have a reason to exist when Magia Exedra/Other does, Celtic said that they would rather decide after the articles are made. The last thing is that the nightmare stories from Exedra should go into either Original/Other or Magia Record/Other depending on where they happen, as they're "posibilities", which yeah means theyre not really canon but they still fit into those universes, as theyre posibilities. - [[User:TheresaFrog421|TheresaFrog421]] ([[User talk:TheresaFrog421|talk]]) 19:34, 28 June 2026 (UTC)
: Understood. I am very busy irl for the moment but I should e free tomorrow and I'll get to it, as well as finding the files of the latest exedra update. ~ [[User:Sweet Beanie|Sweet Beanie]] ([[User talk:Sweet Beanie|talk]]) 15:31, 30 June 2026 (UTC)
: So to make sure I understand correctly, this is the list right? If not just edit it and I'll do it tomorrow. ~ [[User:Sweet Beanie|Sweet Beanie]] ([[User talk:Sweet Beanie|talk]]) 15:57, 30 June 2026 (UTC)
:: Yes that's what we ended up with. - [[User:TheresaFrog421|TheresaFrog421]] ([[User talk:TheresaFrog421|talk]]) 16:02, 30 June 2026 (UTC)
::: Sorry, but I reverted it. You just cut-and-pasted the content from one page to the other, instead of using the Move function (which is available to all users by the way, under "More"). For now I've moved all the Timelines articles to Timeline; you can redo the rest from there when you find the time. ~ [[User:Celtic Minstrel|Celtic Minstrel]] ([[User talk:Celtic Minstrel|talk]]) 23:22, 30 June 2026 (UTC)
:::: Well dont just delete them, there's been changes that are lost and have to be redone now, plus some pages will have to be cut-and-pasted anyway like Magireco/Historical and Magireco/Prelude (cause right now theyre one page, and you cant really move one page to 2). Atleast move some of the pages yourself since you can move them without leaving redirects. - [[User:TheresaFrog421|TheresaFrog421]] ([[User talk:TheresaFrog421|talk]]) 23:50, 30 June 2026 (UTC)
::::: Yeah, some of them couldn't have just been moved, but those that could have been should have been. And nothing has been lost, for the record – if there's something that's really difficult to redo, I can recover it.
::::: Are there any right now that should be moved without leaving redirects? That is, their content will be the same (or mostly the same) but their final name will be different? ~ [[User:Celtic Minstrel|Celtic Minstrel]] ([[User talk:Celtic Minstrel|talk]]) 23:55, 30 June 2026 (UTC)
::::::Im not really sure just how many there are to move? A lot of the ones you already moved still seem to have that issue of "being just copy pasted instead of moved" like [[Timeline/Magia Record Game/Arc 1]] -> [[Timeline/Magia Record/Arc 1]]. Same goes for the individual timeline articles that got later fused into a single Scene 0 article. I just think its too much trouble trying to preserve the history when its so messy. - [[User:TheresaFrog421|TheresaFrog421]] ([[User talk:TheresaFrog421|talk]]) 00:03, 1 July 2026 (UTC)
:::::::It's true that perfectly preserving all the history isn't really feasible, since there's no concept of "merge" or "split" in the wiki's diff system, but we shouldn't actively work against it. ~ [[User:Celtic Minstrel|Celtic Minstrel]] ([[User talk:Celtic Minstrel|talk]]) 00:08, 1 July 2026 (UTC)
::::::::I mean yeah you're right, but this feels like too much, Imo you should just undelete/revert the pages, like yes history is important, it helps to see what person wrote what, but I don't really think its worth this much trouble when a lot of the history will be lost anyway. - [[User:TheresaFrog421|TheresaFrog421]] ([[User talk:TheresaFrog421|talk]]) 00:11, 1 July 2026 (UTC)
:::::::::I deleted all the ones that were requested for deletion, and moved their talk pages to appropriate places. Other than that, I probably won't do anything more today, but I ''will'' look over the diffs of the deleted pages later to make sure nothing crucial was lost. So if you want to hold off on redoing anything that's not a straight and simple copy-paste until I get to that, feel free. ~ [[User:Celtic Minstrel|Celtic Minstrel]] ([[User talk:Celtic Minstrel|talk]]) 00:42, 1 July 2026 (UTC)
:::::::::: Okay, I think you should just undelete the ones that would have to be copy and pasted anyway, those are:
::::::::::* [[Timeline/Original/Prelude]]
::::::::::* [[Timeline/Magia Record/Prelude]]
::::::::::* [[Timeline/Magia Report]]
::::::::::* [[Timeline/Magia Record/Other]]
::::::::::* [[Timeline/Magia Record/Anime]]
::::::::::* [[Timeline/Magia Exedra/Other]]
::::::::::Each one of these was split off from an article that was big, now I think you should move:
::::::::::* [[Timeline/Miscellaneous]] -> [[Timeline/Original/Other]] OR [[Timeline/Miscellaneous]] -> [[Timeline/Other]] (depending on where you want the history)
::::::::::* [[Timeline/Original]] -> [[Timeline/Original/Historical]] OR leave it like it is and undelete [[Timeline/Original/Historical]] (depending on where you want the history)
::::::::::* [[Timeline/Magia Record]] -> [[Timeline/Magia Record/Historical]] OR leave it like it is and undelete [[Timeline/Magia Record/Historical]] (depending on where you want the history)
::::::::::- [[User:TheresaFrog421|TheresaFrog421]] ([[User talk:TheresaFrog421|talk]]) 07:01, 1 July 2026 (UTC)
::::::::::: Okay, I undeleted the ones you listed. If I understand correctly, the three you've listed as "either move or undelete" are cases where big articles were split in half. Am I right on this point? ~ [[User:Celtic Minstrel|Celtic Minstrel]] ([[User talk:Celtic Minstrel|talk]]) 14:20, 1 July 2026 (UTC)
:::::::::::: Yes, you still have to move Timeline/Original and Timeline/Miscellaneous, idk how it works but if you can, undelete the versions you deleted of [[Timeline/Original]] and [[Timeline/Other]] (after moving). - [[User:TheresaFrog421|TheresaFrog421]] ([[User talk:TheresaFrog421|talk]]) 15:07, 1 July 2026 (UTC)
::::::::::::: That's done. I assume some things need to be deleted from the moved pages… anything else? I did restore some content onto a few other pages as well (and am still slowly working through that). ~ [[User:Celtic Minstrel|Celtic Minstrel]] ([[User talk:Celtic Minstrel|talk]]) 15:37, 1 July 2026 (UTC)
:::::::::::::: There's still pages to delete - [[User:TheresaFrog421|TheresaFrog421]] ([[User talk:TheresaFrog421|talk]]) 15:42, 1 July 2026 (UTC)
::::::::::::::* [[Timeline/Original/Different Story]]
::::::::::::::* [[Timeline/Law of Cycles/Wraith Arc]]
::::::::::::::* [[Timeline/Original/Oriko]]
::::::::::::::: Also Timeline/Original was different as I recall. Specifically in its split & parallel timelines section. As it is now it's inaccurate to the current setup. ~ [[User:Sweet Beanie|Sweet Beanie]] ([[User talk:Sweet Beanie|talk]]) 15:49, 1 July 2026 (UTC)
:::::::::::::::Done. I can see there are still some differences between the current [[Timeline]] page and the previous revision, so I'll dump that at [[User:Sweet Beanie/Timeline]] since I'm not sure which version is better. As for <s>Timeline/Original</s>, it looks like it's mostly just reordered, but I'll take another look at it. Are there any other pages with missing parts that I should look up? ~ [[User:Celtic Minstrel|Celtic Minstrel]] ([[User talk:Celtic Minstrel|talk]]) 15:52, 1 July 2026 (UTC)
:::::::::::::::: Other than that, it seems fine. Thank you ~ [[User:Sweet Beanie|Sweet Beanie]] ([[User talk:Sweet Beanie|talk]]) 15:55, 1 July 2026 (UTC)
::::::::::::::::Timeline/Original wasn't the one I was thinking of that seemed reordered. It was Timeline/Original/Other. Timeline/Original was directly undeleted after renaming the previous revision to Timeline/Original/Historical, so it should be exactly the same; and if there's something missing it would be in Historical. ~ [[User:Celtic Minstrel|Celtic Minstrel]] ([[User talk:Celtic Minstrel|talk]]) 15:58, 1 July 2026 (UTC)

::::::::::: Yeah, no. I did everything right for the splits and the content changes, though I'll grant I should have used Move for the simple renames, they'd still be too few. No, most of the pages couldn't have used the MOVE function since they needed to be split, changed and sorted again, reference tables needed to be created, links needed to be fixed, navigation tables, I found a couple of typos, etc. You'd see the information wasn't the exact same if you took the time to look through them. Even through the numbers in the recent changes page, you could see that what was added from one article was different from what was removed from another article. I worked for more than 3 hours yesterday to make sure they were all corrected, now I can't even see what I did since they're entirely deleted. Not to mention the big mess that will need to be fixed now that the Arc 2 reference links are shortened. Was your plan to have me do them again but this time use the move function and have the end result be the exact same, or did you genuinely not look through them? Return my articles to how I left them yesterday. It's absolutely disheartening to see something you did out of pure passion and love for a piece of media to be deleted and then be told to do it again. I wanted the information archived and available for the public so they can understand the franchise better and now it's entirely gone. Return the articles to how I left them yesterday, because I'm not doing this again. I don't even know where I'd find the original files and writing I used anymore and I'm not gonna go look. You could have literally waited a bit, asked, commented them out, or anything other than delete them entirely. Undelete them. Thank you in advance. I'll be back when I see them restored, or at least backed up somewhere where I can access them so I can use that much beloved Move function properly. Have a good day. ~ [[User:Sweet Beanie|Sweet Beanie]] ([[User talk:Sweet Beanie|talk]]) 10:40, 1 July 2026 (UTC)
::::::::::::Okay I did all I could, Im pretty sure the pages look ''almost'' identical to the originals, but obv that cant be 100%. - [[User:TheresaFrog421|TheresaFrog421]] ([[User talk:TheresaFrog421|talk]]) 15:42, 1 July 2026 (UTC)
::::::::::::: I'm confused as to why they couldn't just be restored or backed up somewhere. Celtic has access to them, no? ~ [[User:Sweet Beanie|Sweet Beanie]] ([[User talk:Sweet Beanie|talk]]) 15:50, 1 July 2026 (UTC)

Celtic Minstrel: /* Upload request */

== Section Titles ==

When editing pages, please try to avoid changing section titles as much as possible, as that could very easily break links without any visible evidence until someone tries to follow them. If you absolutely must change a section title (and there will definitely be times when it's necessary), please be sure to use the What Links Here tool to find every link to the parent page and, if it happens to link to the renamed subtitle, update the link. ~ [[User:Celtic Minstrel|Celtic Minstrel]] ([[User talk:Celtic Minstrel|talk]]) 17:17, 21 December 2024 (UTC)

: Oh, my bad. Sorry, I'll avoid it in the future. [[User:Sweet Beanie|Sweet Beanie]] ([[User talk:Sweet Beanie|talk]]) 20:34, 21 December 2024 (UTC)

:: Avoiding it is good, but as said, it's not like you should ''never'' do it. Just be sure to take the proper additional steps if you feel a rename is really necessary. ~ [[User:Celtic Minstrel|Celtic Minstrel]] ([[User talk:Celtic Minstrel|talk]]) 22:07, 21 December 2024 (UTC)

::: You did it again. Please either revert the section title changes on [[Minor Uwasa]] or use [[Special:WhatLinksHere/Minor Uwasa]] to find the links and redirects you broke and fix them. ~ [[User:Celtic Minstrel|Celtic Minstrel]] ([[User talk:Celtic Minstrel|talk]]) 18:01, 20 May 2025 (UTC)

:::: Sorry. Fixed them. They should all be good now. [[User:Sweet Beanie|Sweet Beanie]] ([[User talk:Sweet Beanie|talk]]) 19:42, 20 May 2025 (UTC)

== Stubs ==

Can you please stop adding stubs where you plan to add content in the future? Like in [https://wiki.puella-magi.net/w/index.php?title=Timeline_%28Historical%29&diff=171768&oldid=171765 this sequence of edits] for example, or anything that uses "TBD" or similar terminology. The content should be added at the same time as the relevant headers. ~ [[User:Celtic Minstrel|Celtic Minstrel]] ([[User talk:Celtic Minstrel|talk]]) 00:24, 21 January 2025 (UTC)
: Understood, I'll write it in a text fle and copy paste it when it's ready.[[User:Sweet Beanie|Sweet Beanie]] ([[User talk:Sweet Beanie|talk]]) 08:48, 21 January 2025 (UTC)

== MagiReco Game Timeline ==

It looks like you're being a bit too ambitious. I suggest limiting the content on the Timelines page to ''only'' the main arc – no event stories (unless they're super important to the main plot, maaaybe?), no Magical Girl stories, no costume stories, not even Another Story (maaaybe the briefest mention if relevant to the main arc). I'm not sure if Mirror Story is important enough to go on that page.

That doesn't mean the other content shouldn't be summarized though – feel free to finish what I started on the [[Magia Record Timeline]] page and also slot in all the other content there. ~ [[User:Celtic Minstrel|Celtic Minstrel]] ([[User talk:Celtic Minstrel|talk]]) 03:41, 28 January 2025 (UTC)

: Oh god, thank you. I was scared of having to mention all of them. If anything, I think I'll mention where the smaller events that don't matter take place. [[User:Sweet Beanie|Sweet Beanie]] ([[User talk:Sweet Beanie|talk]]) 08:27, 28 January 2025 (UTC)

== [[Timelines]] ==

I don't want to stomp on all your hard work, but I think the level of detail on that page is getting waaay past what it really needs to be.

To be clear, I think it's good to have this level of detail, but not on this page – there could be dedicated pages for each Magia Record arc, for example (actually, those pages [[Magia Record Main Story Arc 1|already]] [[Magia Record Main Story Arc 2|exist]] but have only the list of chapters – that could be expanded).

The level of detail for main timelines 1 and 2 seems about right to me. Some could have more detail, but not ''too'' much more. In particular, the Magia Record section is probably at least 10 times larger than it needs to be. There should probably be no more than a sentence or two for each chapter or event, maybe up to around 10 sentences if it's especially complicated (like Arc 1 Chapter 10), with a link to the full chapter summary on another page.

There was also a whole section that doesn't belong at all, which I deleted with the intent of moving it where it belongs (to [[Timeline (Historical)]]), but I only got through the first two sections. Just to make things easy in case you want to finish migrating it to the historical page, I've pasted the whole section below (though you could always retrieve it from the page history). (Note: There ''could'' still be a Pre-Arc 1 section on [[Timelines]], but it would cover backstory, like the "N years ago" sections on [[Magia Record Timeline]] squashed down into an even smaller space.)

Anyway, my main point is that this should page should serve as firstly a brief summary, an overview of the franchise, and secondly as a view of how all the little pieces (events, Magical Girl stories, backstory details, whatever you think is important enough) fit together.

** '''[[Magia Record Story Puella Historia The Mirage of Alexandria Arc|The Mirage of Alexandria]]:'''
*** '''Part 1, July of 31 BCE:''' The Tokime Tribe travels to ancient Egypt during Cleopatra VII's reign to investigate her potential connection to magical girls. Upon arrival in Alexandria, they detect a mysterious aura around Cleopatra and decide to infiltrate her palace. They encounter Ebony, a magical girl loyal to Cleopatra, but Shizuka convinces her to temporarily cease hostilities. While gathering information on the Met Clan, the group falls into a trap set by Cleopatra’s forces. A captured soldier reveals that the Met Clan uses a "Dreaming Drug" to manipulate their soldiers. As tensions intensify between Rome and Egypt, they decide to gather information outside of Alexandria.
*** '''September 2nd of 31 BCE:''' The Battle of Actium begins, with Cleopatra’s forces initially holding their ground but eventually retreating as Octavius gains the upper hand. In Alexandria, Cleopatra sends her son Caesarion away for safety while attempting to negotiate peace with Octavius. With Antonius growing furious over her perceived betrayal, Cleopatra prepares for his arrival.
*** '''August 1st of 30 BCE:''' Antonius attempts suicide after receiving false news of Cleopatra's death, delivered by Ebony. Following his death, the Tokime girls exploit the weakened palace security and Nemu identifies Ebony as the key magical girl tied to their mission. She immobilizes them using her powers and Shizuka tries to reason with her.
*** '''Part 2:''' With assistance from Asahi, who'd been hiding until now, they neutralize Ebony. They explain that the Met Clan recruits young girls to contract with Kyubey, granting them powers to protect Egypt’s rulers. Shizuka shares her own experiences as a magical girl and persuades Ebony to break free from her role in the clan. After settling matters with Cleopatra, Ebony goes to the Met Clan Elder to receive freedom. He agrees, but tasks her with delivering a final message to the queen.
*** '''August 29th of 30 BCE:''' As Cleopatra's been imprisoned, the group infiltrates the guarded facility where she's kept. They find her face deteriorating due to the fading effects of magic granted by the past sacrificed girls. An assassin from the Met Clan, disguised as a soldier, kills Cleopatra by shooting darts into her neck. Ebony almost transforms into a witch but the other girls save her. After Nemu confirms that history remains intact due to the wound resembling a snake bite, they set off to confront the Elder. He reveals he orchestrated Cleopatra’s death to turn Ebony into a witch to use against Rome. When they find out the Elder is under a witch's influence, he commits suicide and they defeat the witch, 10-1. With the Soul Dome now filled, they bid farewell to Ebony and encourage her to embrace her newfound independence before returning to their own time.

* '''77 CE - 79 CE:'''
** '''History A:'''
**** '''Early 77 CE:''' A destructive rainstorm interrupts a play starring the popular actor, Master Paris.
**** '''Early 77 CE:''' The influential families of Pompeii—Cornelia’s, Junia’s, and Marius’—hold a banquet to discuss potential alliances and marriages.
**** '''Summer of 77 CE:''' A chariot race occurs, which Hilarus the Left-Handed wins. Junia and Marius watch the race together.
**** '''Summer of 78 CE:''' After the frequent earthquakes of recent, the city council focuses on rebuilding. Marius announces his marriage to Junia has been approved. Likely around this time, Junia meets a Vestal Maiden of Light and Kyubey, or Master Cubius, who prompts her to become a magical girl. Due to her love for Marius, she refuses.
**** '''October of 79 CE:''' Frequent earthquakes and dried water supplies occur, such as the Aqua Augusta.
**** '''October 24, 79 CE:''' Vesuvius erupts, killing most of the population, including Emperor Vespasian and Plinius in Stabiae without organizing a rescue effort. Pompeii is destroyed, and Cornelia and Marius' families die. Junia makes a contract with Kyubey to be reborn as a different person in the past, and thus creates History B.
** '''History B:'''
*** '''76 CE:''' Junia arrives back three years in time from the eruption of Mount Vesuvius. She tests out her power and poses as her new persona, Amaryllis. She tells the other servants that she's Lady Junia's new handmaiden, which the others believe without question, as her power not only allows her to change her appearance, but also makes others not question inconsistencies based on her identity. She befriends Cornelia as Amaryllis and tells her that she is from Greece and that she shares a tutor with Junia. She convinces Cornelia to help her by predicting a very destructive rainstorm in the midst of a play starring a popular actor, Master Paris.
*** '''[[Magia Record Story Puella Historia The Lovers in the Pax Romana Arc|The Lovers in the Pax Romana]]:'''
**** '''Part 1, 79 CE:''' Himena, Shigure, San, Hagumu, Mitsune, and Miyuri travel back to Pompeii in 79 CE. Thanks to the power of the Rumors, Mitsune has now recovered her ability to walk. Nemu tells them about Amaryllis, a magical girl who altered history. They then find themselves in an unstable space, where time and reality are unstable, and encounter a copy of [[10^−43#10−7|10-7]]. Nemu explains that their interference in an already altered timeline (79 CE) may have caused a time paradox, and that they are in a "Time Paradox Zone," where history is being rewritten. San, Hagumu and Mitsune are caught up in the paradox and separated from the rest of the group. Due to having Nemu's book, Himena is attuned to this time period, so she dreams of Junia and Cornelia’s childhood, where their father announces one will marry Marius.
**** '''Early 77 CE:''' Himena, Shigure, Miyuri and Nemu wake up in Pompeii, two years before the eruption. Cornelia helps them hide and introduces them to Amaryllis, the magical girl who has been warning people about the eruption. Nemu explains two histories: History A, where Pompeii is destroyed, and History B, where Amaryllis succeeded and most people evacuated. Amaryllis’ plan involves Cornelia marrying Marius to gain political influence. The group, now posing as Cornelia’s handmaidens, prepares to attend a banquet at Marius’ villa. Amaryllis explains that the banquet is a critical event where the three influential families—Cornelia’s, Junia’s, and Marius’—will discuss future alliances, including potential marriages. Cornelia is torn between her feelings for Marius and her sister Junia’s happiness. The group encounters and defeats a witch, rescuing Cornelia. They later meet Junia, who is kind and thoughtful, before being taken away by a paradox.
**** '''Summer of 77 CE:''' They reappear later in the year. Amaryllis reveals to them that magical girls in the time period in Ancient Rome were known as Vestal Maidens of Light, which was likely the source of Rome's long-lasting success. Amaryllis and Cornelia are working to spread a prophecy about the impending eruption of Mount Vesuvius through the Cult of Isis, a powerful religious group in Pompeii. Amaryllis uses her metamorphosis magic to disguise herself as a member and deliver the prophecy, claiming it comes from divine sources. They plan to use the upcoming chariot race as proof of their prophetic knowledge, predicting Hilarus the Left-Handed will win. The chariot race coincides with Cornelia’s birthday, and Amaryllis has arranged for Cornelia and Marius to watch the race together, while Junia will celebrate separately. The group encounters a barrier again, this time only a familiar. Amaryllis and Cornelia successfully gain the cooperation of the Cult of Isis by proving the accuracy of their prophecy about Hilarus the Left-Handed’s victory in the chariot race. The priestess of Isis is convinced by the detailed predictions Amaryllis provides, including future events like the death of Emperor Vespasian and the drying up of the Aqua Augusta. The Cult of Isis agrees to prepare its followers for the impending disaster, so Amaryllis and Cornelia plan to extend their efforts to other temples, including those dedicated to Venus and Apollo. They also prepare to leverage Cornelia’s connections, such as attending a tutelage ceremony for the popular actor Paris, to further spread their message. However, the timeline remains unstable, and they suspect that another time paradox event is imminent. The members of the Neo-Magius prepare for the possibility of being transported to another point in time, as has happened before when key conditions were met.
**** '''Summer of 78 CE:''' Amaryllis and Cornelia play a game, but they're interrupted by Himena, Miyuri, and Shigure's arrival after the year-long absence. They discuss the current situation in Pompeii, where the rumors of Mount Vesuvius’ impending eruption have caused some residents and influential figures, including Cornelia’s father, to consider relocating. However, the city council remains divided, with many still favoring reconstruction over evacuation. They also consider seeking the help of Admiral Plinius, a renowned scholar and military leader, to advocate for evacuation.
**** '''[[Amaryllis#Side Story|Amaryllis' MSS]]:'''
***** '''A Maiden Ought to Play Games, 78 CE:''' Amaryllis plays Ludus with Lady Cornelia and encourages her to watch a particular chariot race with him. During a stroll in Pompeii, Miyuri loses her smartphone, which Cornelia recalls seeing earlier in a storage room. Cornelia's father had taken it to a jeweler for appraisal, where Gaius, a relative of Pliny the Elder, showed interest in purchasing it. Concerned about potential historical paradoxes, the group hurries to retrieve it.
***** '''A Spark of Flaring Love:''' Cornelia devises a plan to ask her father to cancel the sale. She attends the chariot race with Marius, while the others search for Gaius. After the match, Amaryllis impersonates Gaius to secure the smartphone, while Himena and others prevent the real Gaius from entering. As the plan unfolds, a labyrinth emerges near the Temple of Venus.
***** '''Love is War:''' Marius unexpectedly arrives on horseback to rescue Cornelia and her father from the supposed ghostly disturbances near the temple.

*** '''[[Magia Record Story Puella Historia The Lovers in the Pax Romana Arc|The Lovers in the Pax Romana, continued]]:'''
**** '''Part 1, continued:''' The group travels to Misenum to meet Plinius. Himena suggests using her synthesis magic, as she's now learned to use her power to replicate powers without draining them from others, to replicate Amaryllis’ abilities, allowing others to assist in the plan. They successfully intercept Plinius near the coast, where Cornelia and Amaryllis explain the impending eruption of Mount Vesuvius. Despite revealing future events, including the death of Emperor Vespasian and Plinius’ own fate during the eruption, he refuses to support their cause. The group returns to Cornelia’s villa, where Nemu expresses concern that revealing too much, such as Plinius’ death, may have already disrupted the timeline. The next day, a messenger arrives with a surprising request from Consul Titus, the eldest son of Vespasian and the future emperor, who wishes to meet Cornelia in private.
**** '''Part 2:''' Two days later, Cornelia and Amaryllis meet with Titus, who had been informed of their prophecy and the supposed death of the current emperor by Plinius. He cannot order a mass evacuation without proof, but promises to help evacuate once the eruption begins and to facilitate aid for survivors in Neapolis. After the meeting, Cornelia, Marius, and Junia head to a picnic where Marius announces that his father has approved his engagement to Cornelia. They enjoy a peaceful moment together while Himena, Miyuri, Shigure, and Nemu defeat an offshoot of the original 10-7 witch and then observe the picnic. Nemu explains that the witch they first encountered in 77 CE has been actively interfering with history by creating powerful offshoots and to restore the correct timeline of History B, they must defeat the original witch. That night, Himena has a dream where Amaryllis laments not becoming a Vestal Maiden of Light during the original Pompeii's destruction.
**** '''October of 79 CE:''' Frequent earthquakes and dried water supplies confirm the prophecy. Many residents, influenced by the efforts of Cornelia and Marius' families have already evacuated, but some still remain. The Cult of Isis provides additional ships to aid in the evacuation, and Marius frees charioteers trapped in the barracks, who then help guide people to safety.
**** '''October 24, 79 CE:''' The eruption of Vesuvius begins and Cornelia, Marius, and their families coordinate the evacuation to the shore, where ships await. However, a large group of residents, possessed by a witch, move toward danger. Himena, Miyuri, Shigure, and Nemu confront the 10-7 witch while Amaryllis and Cornelia focus on saving lives. As the situation seems dire, the Roman navy, led by Admiral Plinius, arrives with a massive fleet to assist in the evacuation.
**** In Stabiae, Plinius ensures his fleet rescues as many as possible and instructs his subordinates to record his death as a brave act. To ensure history remains intact, he dies in the eruption.
**** With the arrival of San, Hagumu, and Mitsune, Himena, Shigure and Miyuri manage to defeat the witch. They realize that while they couldn’t save everyone, they succeeded in changing the future and ensuring that many lives were saved. As the eruption of Mount Vesuvius reaches its peak, the remaining residents of Pompeii are evacuated by ship. Cornelia and Marius look forward to rebuilding their lives in Neapolis, when they notice Amaryllis and Junia missing. Amaryllis reflects on her vow to have lived the rest of her life in atonement, dedicating herself to the peace of Rome and honoring the memories of those she couldn’t save. As Junia, she stays in the Pompeii and wears the bracelet given to her by Marius as a reminder of her past and the love she once had. With the timeline restored, the others return to the future.

She encounters and befriends Rena, and later Momoko, and Kaede, unaware that they are from the future. Despite Toyo's cursed reputation, Rena and the others treat her kindly, which deeply moves her. They're confronted by soldiers from Kuna, a rival nation to Yamatai, who mistake Rena for Toyo due to a book they believe is a gift from the Wei Dynasty. After a brief skirmish, the Kuna soldiers retreat with the book, which is Nemu, but not before she tells them that Toyo is the magical girl their mission is based around. Due to their appearance and outfits, Rena accidentally lets it slip that they're from the future, but since the people of the era don't understand the word, they understand it as being a distant, more advanced country. Toyo's group arrives in Yamatai, however, Himiko rejects Toyo and accuses her younger brother of using Toyo as a political pawn. Rena defends Toyo, and the group leaves her quarters, staying in a nearby lodging for the night. Himiko's younger brother explains to Toyo and her friends that the previous shrine maiden candidates were plagued by a curse, leading to disasters. One candidate was possessed, and another sacrificed herself to exorcise the curse. He dismisses the idea that Toyo is the child of a Cursed God, suggesting Himiko’s rejection stems from fear of repeating past tragedies. He vows to make Toyo the successor despite Himiko’s objections. Toyo, feeling lost and rejected, encounters a soldier from Kuna who reveals that Toyo is the child of Himiko and the king of Kuna, not a cursed being. This revelation shocks Toyo and she questions why Himiko hid this from her and why she was treated as cursed. Toyo decides to prove herself by helping a drought-stricken village. Despite initial distrust, Toyo and her friends work to build a canal to prevent flooding when the rain comes. The villagers, seeing their efforts, gradually accept Toyo and join in the work.

Their strained relationship is evident as Toyo struggles to connect with Himiko, her mother, despite Himiko's efforts to bond. Toyo attempts to bridge the gap by giving Himiko a poorly chosen gift of cicada shells, which confuses her. Momoko suggests finding a dog as a better gift. Toyo uses her Spirit Arts to locate a strange creature she names Slurpy, insisting it’s a dog.

*** '''Part 2:''' Crops and livestock across Yamatai are mysteriously withering, leading villagers to believe it’s a curse. Himiko’s younger brother reveals that Kuna has been pressuring Yamatai to make Toyo the successor to avoid war. Himiko uncovers her brother’s plot to manipulate Toyo and use her as a political pawn, but she refuses to comply, deciding instead to resume war with Kuna despite the risks. Toyo’s health deteriorates, and she experiences episodes of paralysis. Himiko, realizing she cannot protect Toyo from her illness or the political turmoil, pleads with Rena and Kaede to take Toyo to the future, where she might be cured. Himiko declares war on Kuna, aiming to protect Yamatai and Toyo from Kuna’s schemes. The war begins, and Yamatai initially struggles against Kuna’s forces. Momoko confronts Himiko, urging her to give Toyo a reason to believe in her actions, as Toyo remains unaware of the true reasons behind the war. As the war rages, Toyo, despite her failing health, is determined to protect her village and the canal they built. She struggles to move but pushes herself, knowing the importance of the canal for the villagers. She is discovered by a Yamatai soldier who insists she return to safety, but Toyo resists. Rena and Kaede arrive and reveal they have built a palanquin to help Toyo move more easily and they support her decision to go to the village. Himiko, comes into possession of Nemu's book, intending to look into its binding method. After hearing them talk about something similar, she reveals to Momoko that she's gravely ill herself, coughing up blood, the illness affecting her face and losing her vision. Toyo, Rena, and Kaede arrive at the village to find it under attack by Kuna soldiers. They deliver Toyo to Himiko, and Rena fights off the soldiers, while Kaede helps evacuate the villagers. Toyo is approached by Kyubey, who offers her a contract to become a magical girl in exchange for a wish. Despite Himiko's warnings about the dangers of such a contract, as the same thing had happened to the previous shrine maiden, Toyo decides to make a wish to become a great leader like her mother, Himiko. She transforms into a magical girl, gaining the strength to surpass her disease, fight and protect her people. Toyo arrives to help Rena, Kaede and Momoko fight the witch responsible for the attack. Himiko passes away, leaving Toyo as her successor. Toyo, though grieving, vows to carry on her mother's legacy and lead Yamatai to prosperity. She addresses the people, assuring them that she will continue to fight for their future, even as the war with Kuna rages on. As they've now fulfilled their mission and collected Iroha's concept, Momoko, Rena and Kaede bid farewell to Toyo and leave the time period. During one of the following nights, a servant of Himiko leads Toyo to a water supply, which Himiko had rigged with her knowledge of Spirit Arts to cause a display of fireflies.

** '''[[Magia Record Story Puella Historia The Rakshasi of Tibet|The Rakshasi of Tibet]]:'''
*** '''Part 1:''' Lavi, Alexandra and Urara arrive in 13th-century Tibet, seeking the Rakshasi, a figure who will end the war between Tibet and Mongolia and bring peace. Lavi discovers that the nunnery is training young girls to become Rakshasi, with Heruka being a key figure. Dolma, the leader of the nunnery, reveals that they exiled the adults who tried to stop the Rakshasi ceremony, as they believed in fighting the Mongols. Meanwhile, Alexandra and Urara pose as performers and are captured by the Mongol leader, Dolo'adai, who plans to use their powers against the convent. Lavi learns that the Rakshasi are magical girls chosen through a ritual with a mysterious figure named Lord Jataka, Kyubey. Lavi and Nemu discuss the discrepancies in history, noting that the nunnery's role and the existence of "junior nuns" are not part of the original historical record. They surmise that Heruka is likely the Rakshasi mentioned in history and Lavi decides not to interfere with Heruka's fate, as it would alter history. A Mongolian soldier is captured after attempting to poison the nunnery's well. Heruka interrogates him, as she can speak Mongolian, revealing that the Mongols believe the Rakshasi attacked them first, which lead to their invasion. Heruka is shaken by the accusations but keeps the details from Dolma. Lavi learns that another junior nun who speaks Mongolian, likely Alexandra or Urara, is with the Mongols. Accompanied by Heruka, Lavi reunites with Alexandra and Urara, where they discuss the historical discrepancies and the possibility of a witch influencing events. Nemu suggests they may need to intervene to ensure the Rakshasi ends the war as history dictates. Alexandra and Urara decide to stay with the Mongols to gather intelligence, while Lavi and Heruka return to the nunnery through a hidden entrance to prepare for the impending attack. The Mongols discover the hidden entrance to the town and plan to use it to launch a surprise attack. They set a trap, using false information to lure the nunnery's defenders into an ambush. Alexandra and Urara learn of the impending attack and reveal that the Mongols' plan, but Heruka deduces that the attack will likely be a night raid, not at dawn as initially suggested. She prepares the nunnery for an ambush, evacuating the townsfolk and organizing a counterattack. The nunnery's defenders, led by Heruka and Lavi, successfully ambush the Mongols, but the Mongols use a feigned retreat to lure them into a trap and successfully counterattack. The town is set ablaze and Lavi stays behind to hold off the Mongols while the others retreat. Heruka is overwhelmed by guilt, believing her actions led to the town's destruction. She asks the villagers to restrain Dolma so she can fulfill her role as a Rakshasi. Heruka then encounters Kyubey, who offers her a contract to become a magical girl. Heruka accepts, wishing to erase the memory of the Rakshasi from everyone's minds to end the war. Heruka's wish changes history, erasing the memory of the Rakshasi, even among the Folklore of Zero, and altering the perception of the nunnery. The Mongols withdraw, and the war comes to a ceasefire. Heruka spreads the ashes of her loved ones, symbolizing their return to the earth, and embraces her role as a Rakshasi. After the nunnery is restored, Dolma decides to leave and join the Order of the White Hill to seek support for the nunnery. She and Heruka share a heartfelt farewell, with Heruka giving Dolma a manuscript to help her learn Mongolian.
*** '''Part 2:''' Heruka, now seen as a savior by her followers, confronts Mongolian soldiers. Despite being shot with arrows, she remains unharmed, which the soldiers interpret as a miracle. Many Mongols abandon their weapons and convert to her faith, believing she is an incarnation of the Buddha as her magic pacifies people's hearts. Heruka’s influence grows, and she continues to spread her teachings, aiming to bring peace and Shambhala to the world. Meanwhile, the Mongolian commander, Dolo'adai, is ordered to destroy Heruka’s followers, but his soldiers are reluctant, fearing divine punishment. Lavi, Alexandra, and Urara observe Heruka’s growing influence and success in stopping the war. The group decides to investigate further by studying religious texts to understand Heruka’s role and the concept of the Rakshasi. Dolma, now part of the Order of the White Hill, successfully negotiates support for the nunnery from the temple’s head priest. Lavi, Nemu, and Urara are studying a palm-leaf manuscript about Tibet’s history, which mentions the Rakshasi. They discuss the possibility of it being a mythological account of Tibet’s founding, as they've forgotten about the Rakshasi due to Heruka's wish. Meanwhile, Heruka arrives and informs them that the Mongolian Army has attacked their village and others, resuming their invasion. Survivors beg for vengeance against the Mongols and a wounded Mongolian soldier reveals that the general has allied with the Rakshasi, and Heruka comforts him as he dies. The group learns that the Mongols plan to continue their attacks, exhausting them. Later, Deki, another girl at the nunnery, informs Heruka that Dolma has been caught in the fighting as a mediator between Heruka and the Order of the White Hill, who seek peace with the Mongols. Returning to her village, she finds it destroyed by the Mongols. The villagers, who revere Heruka as their savior, refuse to accept peace with the Mongols. Dolma is attacked by Mongolian soldiers but escapes and reunites with Heruka. Heruka meets with former Lamas and nunnery priests, and proposes a decisive battle against the Mongols and enlists their help. Dolma convinces the Temple Head Priest to support the plan, believing in Heruka’s miracle. Meanwhile, the Mongolian general, Dolo'adai, prepares for the final battle and agrees to meet Heruka’s group on Mongolian soil. Heruka shares a childhood story about her grandmother, who made her believe butter tea was sweet. Heruka and her group arrive in Mongolia after days of travel. Dolma insists on being the interpreter, but it’s revealed that everyone, including the Temple Head Priest, understands Mongolian. They are led to a location resembling a Tibetan monastery, where General Dolo'adai awaits. Heruka and Dolo'adai exchange tense words, and Heruka reveals her plan to end the fighting by becoming a Mongolian officer. Heruka shocks her followers by claiming to betray them, offering them to the Mongols as a "gift." She insults her companions and declares herself a Rakshasi. Heruka’s followers and the Mongols are horrified, and the Temple Head Priest accuses her of being a fraud. Dolma defends Heruka, but Heruka continues to play the villain, claiming she manipulated everyone for her own gain. She even accuses herself of killing Dolma’s family and others in their hometown. The Mongols, convinced of her evil nature, prepare to execute her. Heruka’s followers turn against her, and she is taken away. Heruka’s former Lama testifies against her, but Dolma tries to defend Heruka, who continues to play the villain. She reveals her plan to lure out the witch, the source of hatred and conflict, by creating a situation filled with hatred. Heruka is condemned as a Rakshasi, and the Mongols prepare to execute her. Heruka confronts the witch and uses her magic to put everyone to sleep, but Lavi resists and follows her. Heruka confronts the witch, realizing her magic is being canceled out by the witch’s power of hatred. Despite being at a disadvantage in a direct fight, Lavi and the others arrive to help, revealing they resisted Heruka’s magic because they wanted to protect her. Together, they manage to defeat the witch, but Heruka’s magic weakens, and the people, now awake, turn against her, throwing rocks and calling her a monster. Dolma defends Heruka and they flee together. Lavi and the others hold off the Mongols, allowing Dolma and Heruka to escape until they reach a flower of blue poppies. After Heruka’s execution, Dolma struggles with grief and anger, but Lavi encourages her to record the truth about Heruka, ensuring her legacy is preserved. Dolma travels to Mongolia, helping to spread a new script while secretly inscribing the truth about Heruka in monuments. She reflects on Heruka’s sacrifice and the blue flowers that symbolize her hope.

: The [[Timeline (Historical)]] is meant to have the original historical records of the events that happened. Puella Historia has the members of the cast change the past, so while it might not belong in [[Timelines]], it's not for Historical either. Would you agree to placing it in [[Magia Record Timeline]] and the game section of [[Timelines]] to just direct to it? [[User:Sweet Beanie|Sweet Beanie]] ([[User talk:Sweet Beanie|talk]]) 12:45, 2 March 2025 (UTC)

:: The page has a section for the Magia Record timeline too. Also, how do we know they change the past? I'm not aware of any reason to believe that either the Tart events or the Puella Historia events result in changing the past. I haven't watched the Puella Historia finale mind you, so perhaps there's something there, but if you're merely ''assuming'' they change the past then I don't think that's a good assumption. ~ [[User:Celtic Minstrel|Celtic Minstrel]] ([[User talk:Celtic Minstrel|talk]]) 14:32, 2 March 2025 (UTC)

::: I meant the history before the Kamihama gangs went back in time. For example, originally, the Tart stuff goes exactly as in the manga, then Iroha, Yachiyo and Ui go to the past and make some changes, even if just in Tart's dream. Another example would be how Toyo had no friends until KaMoRe came from the future. The end result is mostly similar, but the original Toyo never met anyone named Rena Minami. Historical should be for the events without involving time travel, while other articles which include the present should tell of the time travel stuff, because it starts in the present (like Present-day Kamihama for Puella Historia), they go back in time (like Mirage of Alexandria, make some minute changes, usually preventing 10^-43 from messing things up), then they go back to the present. It's why I didn't bring the Historia MSS stories that didn't involve the girls from Kamihama to [[Timelines]] but added them as references in Historical. The people from the present didn't affect Ebony's MSS since it happened before the Tokime arrived to Alexandria. I intend to put the other events of the recent past in Kamihama to the Historical Magia Record section too, unless they involve any time travel. This would also be easier since Historical overall has less detail than I've put into my draft of events.

:::: Okay, so it seems our disagreement can basically be traced back to a disagreement on what it really means to travel back in time. There seems to be an implicit assumption that Homura's form of time travel is the only form that exists, yet Amaryllis directly proves otherwise – her time travel method is very different. That already shows that there are multiple forms of time travel in the setting. That in turn implies that there's no guarantee that any two instances of time travel have properties in common. So, when analyzing time travel, we should avoid making assumptions. And it should be acknowledged that applying "common sense" to time travel just doesn't work. ~ [[User:Celtic Minstrel|Celtic Minstrel]] ([[User talk:Celtic Minstrel|talk]]) 08:13, 3 March 2025 (UTC)
::::: Yeah, Tart events always played weirdly with the rules. Amaryllis' time travel is the most conventional, Iroha also did it once with that leaf in the Arc 2 finale. Homura supposedly goes back in time AND switches realities (Guitarist Kyosuke timeline). Mirrors time travel is weird because, the moment the mirror they traveled from shatters, the people traveling through it go back to where hey came from. Don't even get me started with Null Magica. Mikoto's was the only one that was said to bring paradoxes and potentially destroy the world, but it's ultimately unconfirmed. [[User:Sweet Beanie|Sweet Beanie]] ([[User talk:Sweet Beanie|talk]]) 10:15, 3 March 2025 (UTC)
:::::: There is no such thing as "conventional" in time travel. The "switches realities" theory for Homura's time travel doesn't seem to be canon – Homura Tamura rolls it up to ridiculous, but there is nothing whatsoever in the show to support it (guitarist Kyosuke is ''clearly not'' canon). From what we ''actually see'', her time travel is something like "stuffing her future soul into her past body". Amaryllis's time travel is the closest we get to a "wormhole" or "portal", where two versions of Amaryllis exist simultaneously. I think the only thing we can really conclude is that there are no rules for time travel in the setting – each time traveller has her own rules. ~ [[User:Celtic Minstrel|Celtic Minstrel]] ([[User talk:Celtic Minstrel|talk]]) 00:34, 4 March 2025 (UTC)
::::::: I hate to bring up old points again, especially since the matter for which this discussion started has been settled, but if Guitarist Kyosuke can't be taken as canon, since the information comes from a witch card, then what about Cleopatra and Himiko? Why are the production notes of Cleopatra and Himiko from episode 11 taken as canon proof they're magical girls, and the Historia versions of them are taken as a separate universe? From what we saw, we never got confirmation that that was Cleopatra or Himiko except runes of their names and production notes saying they were. Toyo's event even had a cop-out with justifying that the japanese girl from episode 12 was Himiko's shrine maiden. I don't even think we saw Cleopatra's soul gem, and it's not like Tart (from episode 12) where it's so specific and has hard evidence that it's Jeanne of Arc as a magical girl. [[User:Sweet Beanie|Sweet Beanie]] ([[User talk:Sweet Beanie|talk]]) 09:49, 4 March 2025 (UTC)
:::::::: The identity of Cleopatra does not depend on any production notes. The scenes showing her in the anime are very clearly her. I don't know whether or not the same applies to Himiko, but I would say runes of their names are sufficient as evidence to their canon identity. I'm not sure if there's direct evidence in the anime that Cleopatra was a magical girl, though – it's possible it's merely inferred from the fact that all the ''other'' historical characters depicted are magical girls. She ''is'' clasping something to her chest that could be a soul gem, but unlike with Tart, we can't see any evidence that it ''is''. But the main point here is that their identity is clear enough from the anime without resorting to production notes. This is ''definitely'' true for Cleopatra at least. ~ [[User:Celtic Minstrel|Celtic Minstrel]] ([[User talk:Celtic Minstrel|talk]]) 00:14, 5 March 2025 (UTC)
:::: Now, I am not aware of any reason to believe that "the history before the Kamihama gangs went back in time" is something that exists. It's quite within reason to believe that they went back in time because they went back in time. Time travel messes up causality, after all. I am not aware of any convincing evidence that Yachiyo and Ui "make some changes" to the past. Indeed, the Maiden of Hope explicitly questions this theory – it points out that the fact of "Tart remembered Yachiyo and Iroha" may have been true already before they went back, and they just didn't know. It also points out that the sweet dreams charm with the red and blue candles has no origin – Melissa learned it from Iroha, and then Melissa passed it down through history until Iroha learned it. ~ [[User:Celtic Minstrel|Celtic Minstrel]] ([[User talk:Celtic Minstrel|talk]]) 08:13, 3 March 2025 (UTC)
::::: I actually agree with that. However, I think historical should have the barebones of the story, like "Cleopatra dies," since it's ultimately unconfirmed whether they were always meant to be there. [[User:Sweet Beanie|Sweet Beanie]] ([[User talk:Sweet Beanie|talk]]) 10:15, 3 March 2025 (UTC)
:::: So unless we can find references to ''strongly support'' the idea that history was changed (such as an actual non-speculative statement in the game itself about what the history was like "before the change"), then I think it's simpler to assume it wasn't. Based on that premise, they didn't go back in time and change history – they went back in time so that they could replicate the true history that led to their present day. I doubt either version of the theory is strongly-supported by the evidence, mind you, but without explicit data on "pre-change" histories, anything you put there would be speculation. ~ [[User:Celtic Minstrel|Celtic Minstrel]] ([[User talk:Celtic Minstrel|talk]]) 08:13, 3 March 2025 (UTC)
::::: An argument I could make to say that they weren't always meant to go to the past is that Mikoto, having seen the past, didn't comment on the Kamihama girls being there or change her mind by saying "well at some point I agree with them so why prolong the inevitable". The Pillar of Tomorrow has her talk with Iroha about how she's satisfied with Iroha now after she's done with her work. [[User:Sweet Beanie|Sweet Beanie]] ([[User talk:Sweet Beanie|talk]]) 10:15, 3 March 2025 (UTC)

::::: Ultimately, can we agree to not put any time travel in Historical? I feel like Timelines is the exact place for time travel shenanigans? [[User:Sweet Beanie|Sweet Beanie]] ([[User talk:Sweet Beanie|talk]]) 10:15, 3 March 2025 (UTC)
:::::: I wouldn't say it's the place for "time travel shenanigans". It started out as an analysis of timelines formed specifically from Homura's actions, not timelines in general. It would certainly make sense to briefly cover the Historia and Tart time travel situations in [[Timelines]], but I'd say that should slot in from the future perspective, rather than in a "historical" section. In other words, it's mentioned at the point when they travel back in time, rather than having a section to itself in the past. But giving a full summary of the event would probably be too cluttered, I think.
:::::: I think the main detail of the Puella Historia stories ''definitely'' belongs in [[Timeline (Historical)]], though if you ''really'' want to phrase that summary to avoid mentioning the time travellers, I guess it wouldn't hurt. From the context of the Historia series, the goal is to "prevent the past from changing", so I think it's most reasonable to conclude that the time travellers (including the Witch of Symbols) had only very minor net effects on the past events. And the History A vs History B of Amaryllis's story also belongs there, in my opinion. ~ [[User:Celtic Minstrel|Celtic Minstrel]] ([[User talk:Celtic Minstrel|talk]]) 00:34, 4 March 2025 (UTC)

== Too Many Files ==

Why are you uploading the entire UI of Magia Record? We don't need most of those files. The backgrounds and the item icons are fine in theory, though I think about half of them are duplicates. Most of the rest is useless. There are probably a few exceptions, but we definitely don't need stuff like bits of buttons that are cut up so the button can be made any width desired. ~ [[User:Celtic Minstrel|Celtic Minstrel]] ([[User talk:Celtic Minstrel|talk]]) 20:11, 28 May 2025 (UTC)
: Sorry, I'm done with the files now. I thought it would be better to have them than not have them, especially since a lot of backgrounds are missing from where they should be. I'm done with bulk files for now, at most I will upload a few files for magia record event galleries.[[User:Sweet Beanie|Sweet Beanie]] ([[User talk:Sweet Beanie|talk]]) 20:14, 28 May 2025 (UTC)
:: I don't think there's any worth in having the buttons that you click on in the game, unless there's some nice picture on it. I haven't gone through your list in detail yet, but I'm probably going to delete about 1/4 of the ones that aren't backgrounds when I find time. And there's '''''definitely'''''' no worth in having the numbers in a special font. It's nice that you're helping by uploading missing stuff, but in future please do triage ''before'' uploading, not after. ~ [[User:Celtic Minstrel|Celtic Minstrel]] ([[User talk:Celtic Minstrel|talk]]) 20:23, 28 May 2025 (UTC)
::: Of course, thank you. [[User:Sweet Beanie|Sweet Beanie]] ([[User talk:Sweet Beanie|talk]]) 20:28, 28 May 2025 (UTC)
::::Looks like I was right about duplicates. I found at least one case where the same files were uploaded under different names, on [[Mikazuki Villa]]. I think you'd find most of them if you go through all the backgrounds and file them into appropriate articles – the duplicate would already be there in most cases. ~ [[User:Celtic Minstrel|Celtic Minstrel]] ([[User talk:Celtic Minstrel|talk]]) 00:33, 29 May 2025 (UTC)
:::::I'll get to putting all the backgrounds to where they should be soon.[[User:Sweet Beanie|Sweet Beanie]] ([[User talk:Sweet Beanie|talk]]) 08:42, 29 May 2025 (UTC)
: Alright, I have:
:* Deleted a ton of files that are just particle effects, backgrounds, or pure text.
:* Deleted the duplicate icon images and categorized the rest in [[:Category:Magia Record Item Icons]] (fortunately the wiki identified these duplicates for me). If you know anything about those icons, you can add their info to [[Magia Record Items]].
:* Deleted the duplicate disk icons and element icons.
:* Filtered out a few clearly useful ones, such as the [[Kimochi]] stones.
:* Collected the rest here.

== Irregulars ==

<blockquote>Why are Riz's former companions on this category? I can see why those contracted by Isabeau, but they were contracted by Kyubey.</blockquote>
I included them because I assumed that Riz's wish would have also applied to them and not just Tart. ~ [[User:Amaterasu|Amaterasu]] ([[User talk:Amaterasu|talk]]) 13:55, 13 June 2025 (UTC)

== Labyrinth Spaces ==

<blockquote>Homura was able to enhance one of her rooms to turn it into a white room with floating graphics about Walpurgisnacht through this, and this application of magic seems to do little more than create a small pocket dimension for extra space and visuals.</blockquote>

Where is the justification for this? It sounds like more of a fan theory than established fact to me (in which case it should use the speculation templates), but it's possible I'm missing something. ~ [[User:Celtic Minstrel|Celtic Minstrel]] ([[User talk:Celtic Minstrel|talk]]) 17:54, 21 June 2025 (UTC)

== Common Abilities ==

While I'm on the topic of possible fan theories, it strikes me as varying levels of questionable to include the following in "common abilities":

* Storage/Hammerspace: I can maybe see justification for this in the robes of the Wings of the Magius or Elisa's weapon (which was created by Pernelle, so it's not the magically-summoned weapon that many girls use). But even then, I'm not sure we have sufficient evidence to say that that's an ability of the girl, rather than an ability of the robes or the weapon. Also, when it comes to the robes, there's some evidence that they ''don't'' get stored in any kind of hammerspace.
* Energy Blasts: If this was such an easy ability to learn, how are there so many magical girls that have no way to attack?
* Summon Barriers: This is kind of unclear. It seems to be fairly common for magical girls to learn barrier-like defensive abilities (both Mami and Kyoko did) but I don't see the justification for calling the ability "common to all magical girls".
* Clones: Very few magical girls have been demonstrated to use clones, so it seems very far-fetched to call it "common to all magical girls".
* Teleportation: As above – teleportation actually seems to be a very rare ability as far as I can tell.

It would be less of an issue if the section was "abilities that many magical girls learn" rather than "abilities that all magical girls possess". But other entries in the section clearly ''are'' abilities that all possess. ~ [[User:Celtic Minstrel|Celtic Minstrel]] ([[User talk:Celtic Minstrel|talk]]) 17:54, 21 June 2025 (UTC)

Got a couple more to add:

* Conjuration: I'm not aware of any concrete examples of magical girls conjuring random items. The most notable example, Mami's muskets, is actually a counter-example – she built those muskets from her ribbons. And if she can build a musket from ribbons, she can probably build a teacup too.

* Containers: I'm only aware of two magical girls (Mitama and Niko Kanna) who've created containers (ignoring Alina and her little green cubes, as that's explicitly her unique power). Thus, it seems to me that this should be mentioned as powers of those two girls, rather than in common powers.

~ [[User:Celtic Minstrel|Celtic Minstrel]] ([[User talk:Celtic Minstrel|talk]]) 23:28, 21 June 2025 (UTC)

==Bulk Explanation==

I'll give the explanations for each of them. How I justify all of it is that if many girls have the same ability, which is nt their unique ability, then it can be learned to some extent. Maybe there should be a new section for "Learnable Abilities":

* Labyrinth Spaces: Homura's room did have magic added to it. I called it a labyrinth space because it shifts to Homura's emotions and memories when she hugs Madoka. But that may be non-diegetic. However, Madoka also saw the murals of Walpurgisnacht and asking her about it. Homura couldn't have possibly had that room on her own, so it seems reasonable to be a common application of magic. My logic is that if a power isn't classified as unique to the girl, then it's something learnable. In one of the Tart events, Minou had also added enchantments and stuff to the space around her territory, but it wasn't clear what she'd done. In Kazumi, several characters (like Umika, Niko and Kazumi) did it in various ways, and not just inside the freezer, but that's where it was most common.
* Storage/Hammerspace: Many girls just kind of pull small stuff out of nowhere, but the clearest example of the summoning thing for the storage is when Matsuri pulled out a grief seed from a magical sigil. It is possible the Feathers' robes have the power to store them, but at the very least, Iroha, Kuroe and Matsuri have all stored small objects somewhere on their person (usually just grief seeds, but it still counts). Elisa and Tart's weapons are also proof of this, as well as the obvious Homura shield.
* Energy Blasts: The Feathers attack Eve en mass during the AniReco finale. Feathers are also generally weak, plus Homura also used the same technique, same with Kyoko in AniReco. It stands to reason that it takes a bit of training.
* Summon Barriers: It was already there when I got to the article, but it is a normal application of magic which has been done many times. Natsuki deliberately learned it, and as you said, Kyoko and Mami also did it. Yuuri did the same thing too.
* Clones: Mami and Kanae are obvious, but it's clearly a learned ability that the girls can learn since Kanae and Mami are both different, plus these clones were clearly different from Kyoko's phantom clone ability.
* Teleportation: If you look at the battle animations, many girls are able to use it in short bursts. And since Suzune was able to learn it with her fire magic, as well as so many battle and magia animations, it seems to be a learnable thing.

I'll add and split these and others into "abilities that magical girls can learn" or something along those linesas you say.

: I have quite a lot to say here, so I'm going to split my response up into one spoilerbox per entry. Suffice to say though that I'm not convinced by your arguments. Most of them seem to be full of holes. ~ [[User:Celtic Minstrel|Celtic Minstrel]] ([[User talk:Celtic Minstrel|talk]]) 23:15, 21 June 2025 (UTC)
{{spoilerbox|about=Labyrinth Spaces|
<blockquote>Homura's room did have magic added to it.</blockquote>This is what we're trying to determine, so it's not part of the argument.
<blockquote>I called it a labyrinth space because it shifts to Homura's emotions and memories when she hugs Madoka.</blockquote>I'll assume that "it shifts when she hugs Madoka" is a fact. What makes you believe that the shift is in response to Homura's emotions? ~ [[User:Celtic Minstrel|Celtic Minstrel]] ([[User talk:Celtic Minstrel|talk]]) 23:15, 21 June 2025 (UTC)
: Labyrinths shifting to memories and emotions is a thing that happens. It's unknown if it is diegetic, but there's a difference when emotional moments happen in the normal world, and when they happen in labyrinths.
:: It's just like what happens in the labyrinth of Charlotte in episode 3 (when Mami cries to Madoka and the scenery changes in response to Mami's emotions, being bright when she feels relieved)
:: The labyrinth of HN Elly in episode 4 (Madoka's memories are on display on the TVs)
:: Oktavia's labyrinth also shows memories (of Sayaka and Kyoko when Kyoko and Madoka enter the long aquarium walls)
:: Since Rebellion takes place in a labyrinth, this happens way more, like when Homura and Kyoko walk without the bus, the big tvs behind Mami and Homura showing Charlotte, the flowers responding to Homura and Madoka on the field. (It also happens more than normal, because Homura's the witch, so I can understand that this is a non-normal case)
:: Bottom line, the direction of art for when something emotional happens in a labyrinth, or labyrinth-like space, is different from when they're in the real world, as compared to labyrinths, especially with the memories being reflected on surfaces, which is what happens in Homura's white room when she cries and hugs Madoka. The memories may be non-diegetic, but the change of lighting and scenery is still something that only happens in Labyrinths, including the pendulum room.

:::You have completely missed the point.

<blockquote>Homura couldn't have possibly had that room on her own,</blockquote>This doesn't seem to be a reasonable initial assumption. I don't think anything was ever said about it directly, and it seems quite plausible to me for it to be something like a "video wall", or perhaps some form of video projection. In other words, the wall can be explained by technology, so bringing in magic as an explanation isn't necessary. ~ [[User:Celtic Minstrel|Celtic Minstrel]] ([[User talk:Celtic Minstrel|talk]]) 23:15, 21 June 2025 (UTC)
: I can understand this being a technological room (maybe Homura stole some money or equipment), but nothing hinted at that, plus looking at the other room in Homura's apartment (the one where she googled 'how to make a bomb' in episode 10) it's very different. Additionally, the room's layout reflects a clock with the seats, there's an invisible pendulum being swung around whose shadow we see all the time. This doesn't seem like a normal room, is what I'm trying to say. I get that the technology in the show is advanced, but for a student to just have a white empty room taking up more than one floor is very unlikely. But it is ultimately possible. It just doesn't seem outside the realm of possibility for an experienced Magical Girl to learn to use aspects of her witch, especially since a lot of magic takes the look of those INU Curry assets (even when used by magical girls). Additionally, this is confirmed by Episode 10 when Homura's making the bomb that this is her apartment where she stayed after getting out of the hospital, she didn't go to a different one after the second timeline.
[[User:Sweet Beanie|Sweet Beanie]] ([[User talk:Sweet Beanie|talk]]) 08:06, 22 June 2025 (UTC)
::I don't know why you're assuming Homura stole something. As far as I know, we don't have any evidence to suggest that Homura can't afford expensive equipment. (We also have no evidence to suggest that she ''can'' though, unless you count this room itself as evidence.) Furthermore, I'm not aware of any evidence that suggests the room was built by Homura – it could've easily been already there in her home, set up by her parents at some time in the past. I can see that some of your other arguments here are reasonable arguments for it maybe being magical though. I think it's reasonable to say that it ''might'' be magical and it might not be and we just don't have enough information to be sure either way. ~ [[User:Celtic Minstrel|Celtic Minstrel]] ([[User talk:Celtic Minstrel|talk]]) 20:39, 22 June 2025 (UTC)

: There's quite a few occasions where the Freezer has non-normal imagery in the back, again showing the emotions of the girls. However, with Kazumi's artstyle it's difficult to know what's real and what's in the character's minds.
: During the fight with Kazumi in the freezer, it also changes a lot, the space itself warps and the pillars move up and down in accordance to what the girls need (like when Mirai tries to save Saki). While this may be a technological feat, but they weren't using any device to make that happen, the pillars just knew how and when to make that happen. But again, the entrance to the Freezer itself was only opened to the saints' gems, so isn't that an aspect of "enchanting the environment" through magic in and of itself? It just doesn't seem out of the realm of possibility to imbue magic into a room to make it completely white, or somewhat respondent to one's input.
: In the Tart event, I recall talks about how the quarters of Minou (or rather the castle, while they were trying to reach the bell) had magic throughout it, but Minou's special cuz she has benefitted from many contracts, and wedon't know what it was since it was just dialogue in the game. Ultimately, this is the weakest, but I thougt it's worth bringing up.
[[User:Sweet Beanie|Sweet Beanie]] ([[User talk:Sweet Beanie|talk]]) 08:06, 22 June 2025 (UTC)
:: Regarding the Freezer, it sounds less likely to be technological than Homura's room, though it's still possible. On the other hand, from your description here, I wouldn't conclude it's a labyrinth barrier either. Perhaps it ''could'' be, but as you mention yourself, they might have simply enchanted the walls and the pillars. ~ [[User:Celtic Minstrel|Celtic Minstrel]] ([[User talk:Celtic Minstrel|talk]]) 20:39, 22 June 2025 (UTC)

<blockquote>My logic is that if a power isn't classified as unique to the girl, then it's something learnable.</blockquote>There is quite a gulf between "it's possible to learn this power" and "this is something that any girl can learn".

<blockquote>Many girls just kind of pull small stuff out of nowhere,</blockquote>Okay, but in how many of those cases are we able to prove that they didn't just pull them out of a pocket? ~ [[User:Celtic Minstrel|Celtic Minstrel]] ([[User talk:Celtic Minstrel|talk]]) 23:15, 21 June 2025 (UTC)
: For one, like when Iroha saved Yachiyo in episode 5, I can't see any pockets on her person, or most of the girls. But it's definitely possible. When Kuroe refused to give the grief seed to kuro in the flashback, she touches her pocket, but it's like how girls' phones stay in their pocket when they're in civilian form, and then when they transform, they just temporarily disappear and it's not acknowledged.

: When Matsuri saved Suzune from Kagari, she gave her a Grief Seed which she pulled out of a small magical seal. Unless Matsuri can create tem out of thin air, that's just what she had in store for later use.

: With Maturi being confirmed to have done that, as well as many girls just randomly pulling stuff out of nowhere (another case is when Riz pulled grief seeds just by reaching into her back when fighting Minou's witch army, but that could have been an actual pocket tbh) it seemed a normal thing.
[[User:Sweet Beanie|Sweet Beanie]] ([[User talk:Sweet Beanie|talk]]) 08:06, 22 June 2025 (UTC)
:: If it's only grief seeds being pulled out from apparently nowhere though, I don't think that necessarily implies any kind of generic storage magic. Maybe all magical girls can store grief seeds in some magical pocket, but that doesn't necessarily mean they can store ''anything'' in that pocket. I would say it's unclear whether it's even true for grief seeds, as you could also explain it away as animation shortcuts. ~ [[User:Celtic Minstrel|Celtic Minstrel]] ([[User talk:Celtic Minstrel|talk]]) 20:39, 22 June 2025 (UTC)
}}{{spoilerbox|about=Energy Blasts|
<blockquote>The Feathers attack Eve en mass during the AniReco finale.</blockquote>Hmm, I suppose things that the feathers use can reasonably be extrapolated to "any magical girl can learn this". But when exactly did they use energy blasts? My understanding is that the feathers attack by enchanting chains to move according to their will, making it essentially a form of telekinesis, as well as a specific application of enchantments. I don't know how that leads to energy blasts. ~ [[User:Celtic Minstrel|Celtic Minstrel]] ([[User talk:Celtic Minstrel|talk]]) 23:15, 21 June 2025 (UTC)
: When Eve is bound, as well as flying overhead, the feathers and presumably many girls from Kamihama just shoot glowing projectiles at her. The chains were also just a weapon they could control, but the blasts of magic were done by so many girls that it seems safe to assume anyone can learn to do that. Many magia attacks also have the girls summo orbs or beams of energy regardless as well.
[[User:Sweet Beanie|Sweet Beanie]] ([[User talk:Sweet Beanie|talk]]) 08:06, 22 June 2025 (UTC)
:Hmm, maybe this one is okay. I don't remember this happening but it's been awhile since I watched the Magica Record anime.

::This one seems the most harmless to me. Even the girls' normal attacks often involve some beams, projectiles, bursts of energy, etc. We've seen the energy blasts from every element type in the game, and with how many girls in Kamihama used it in the finale, it does seem very easy.

::…what? I looked at episode 8, but I don't see anything that looks clearly like an energy blast. We see Homura's soul gem glowing, and perhaps it could be reasonable to expect an energy blast to appear, but nothing actually happens, so I think we can't conclude anything definite about what she might have been about to do. Episode 10 is clearer, though I think we can't rule out that it's an enchanted bullet rather than a pure energy blast. ~ [[User:Celtic Minstrel|Celtic Minstrel]] ([[User talk:Celtic Minstrel|talk]]) 20:39, 22 June 2025 (UTC)

<blockquote>It was already there when I got to the article, but it is a normal application of magic which has been done many times. Natsuki deliberately learned it, and as you said, Kyoko and Mami also did it. Yuuri did the same thing too.</blockquote>The problem with this one is that all the girls who learn barriers have dramatically different barriers. Kyoko's barrier is made of criss-crossed chains, Mami's is made out of ribbons, and Yuuri's if I recall correctly was some kind of force shield. I don't know what Natsuki's was like. But 4 people creating 4 dramatically different types of barriers doesn't seem like it screams "this is something anyone can learn". It's more of a "they all figured out a way to protect things with the magic they were given". ~ [[User:Celtic Minstrel|Celtic Minstrel]] ([[User talk:Celtic Minstrel|talk]]) 23:15, 21 June 2025 (UTC)
: I'll add on to every case.
:: Natsuki's is learned and we don't see it. We can safely say that at least she can learn it.
:: Mami's was made out of her ribbons, so we can exclude it as her ribbon magic instead of just a barrier, even though there was a sort of effect around the ribbons clearly indicating a border was there, but I understand not including this.
:: Kyoko's barriers were made from chains, but in the magia record anime, she did also make a sort of protective bubble when helping Iroha.
:: Yuuri's was a force shield which damaged whoever got close, but we ultimately don't know what happens to those who would have touched Natsuki's, Mami's or Kyoko's barriers either.
:: Another case of this that I forgot to mention is Homura herself. When Oriko attacked the school, Homura created a shield around Madoka, which was similarly a bubble shape like Kyoko's (in anireco) and Mami's (in episode 3).
[[User:Sweet Beanie|Sweet Beanie]] ([[User talk:Sweet Beanie|talk]]) 08:06, 22 June 2025 (UTC)
:: I think I do remember something like that in Oriko Magica, though from what I recall it was more like a cylinder than a sphere.

[[User:Sweet Beanie|Sweet Beanie]] ([[User talk:Sweet Beanie|talk]]) 08:06, 22 June 2025 (UTC)
:: As mentioned above, I don't think Kanae's ability is likely to be clones at all. It looks like a speed ability, not clones.

<blockquote>If you look at the battle animations, many girls are able to use it in short bursts.</blockquote>That's a massive stretch. If you're judging from battle animations, there's no way to tell the difference between "teleported" and "moved too fast to see".
<blockquote>And since Suzune was able to learn it with her fire magic,</blockquote>This is the first I've heard of Suzune having any kind of teleport magic. Are you talking about "Heat Haze"? I'm pretty sure that's invisibility, not teleport. The name strongly implies as such as well.

~ [[User:Celtic Minstrel|Celtic Minstrel]] ([[User talk:Celtic Minstrel|talk]]) 23:15, 21 June 2025 (UTC)

: Off the top of my head, here are the girls that clearly teleport (excluding special variants) :
:: Pernelle (that's like her whole thing, but it may be her special magic, so I'll continue with more examples, I also won't mention Minou for obvious reasons)
:: Suzune (her heat haze was explicitly clarified to be a teleportation or escape spell in Suzune event 1 and 2. In the ladder, she randomly ended up near Aimi (I think it was Aimi but it might've been another girl) and Suzune herself was surprised)
:: Anime Mifuyu (it can't be her hallucinations, since she left Kuroe behind in season 2 episode 2.)
:: Amaryllis (she literally made a portal and threw herself through it while encased in her giant dice cube)
:: Alexandra in her animations does it by playing her harp.
:: Yuna's is unclear on whether it was speed or teleporting to me, but I'll leave it as a probably not.
:: It's unclear if Shigure's magia had teleportation or the fast movement as you said, but she's never been shown to be that fast in the story. However, I'll still have this as a no.
::: I think we can trust the animations too, since Himena was flying through the sky in chapter 12, unless you watch her magia, you wouldn't know how she did that.
[[User:Sweet Beanie|Sweet Beanie]] ([[User talk:Sweet Beanie|talk]]) 08:06, 22 June 2025 (UTC)
:::: This is a very strange list, because it contains girls who clearly can't teleport and also doesn't contain girls who clearly can. I took a look at some of the animations, but I really think they can't be trusted to give an accurate representation of the girl's abilities. You're missing at least Shizuku, Leila, and Coeurl. Anyway, that aside…
:::::Suzune: I have no idea what you mean with "in the ladder".

:::::Amaryllis: I don't remember this (maybe it was in Pillar of Eternity that I haven't watched yet?) but it sounds like unambiguously teleporting, so I'll accept that one.
:::::Alexandra, Yuna, Shigure: These are judged from the animations, where you can't trust the concept of space at all. Appearing right in front of the enemy doesn't necessarily mean they teleported there – the grid-based battlefield is not an accurate representation of each girl's location, so you could easily judge that they and the enemy being targeted just happened to be face-to-face at that moment. I do agree that all three magia animations can easily be interpreted as teleportation, though I'd say Yuna and Shigure give more of a "moved very fast" impression, but it's only weak evidence that they might be able to teleport. ~ [[User:Celtic Minstrel|Celtic Minstrel]] ([[User talk:Celtic Minstrel|talk]]) 20:39, 22 June 2025 (UTC)
:::::: Some of these are debatable, (especially Mifuyu and Suzune) but I'll relent since it doesn't seem common enough. Plus Hikaru and Yuna both learned new abilities because of their personal magics, but they're just heat resistance and making minions, both very unique and unrelated. Plus Ria predicted the future once, so I ultimately don't think it matters. What they can learn seems pretty subjective to the specific girl in most cases.

I would say that Scene 0 does not have any map. None of the files you uploaded for it give any indication of what it would actually look like in-game, because all those elements are layered together with parallax to produce the final effect. It ''may'' be worth posting screenshots of Scene 0 from in-game, to show the final look, but the individual elements that make it up (other than ones that have actual content) don't belong on the wiki.

::Seems like it'd be possible, but it might be a little difficult to erase the line down the centre... does Corbeau not have a witch kiss elsewhere, like from the Score Attack?

== Timelines Ready ==

Putting this here cause idk if you're caught up on the timelines talk page, the list is "done". We agreed to just fuse Darc into Historical, same for Kazumi and Suzune into the "prelude" of the timelines. We also agreed that if any of them are big enough they could deserve their own pages, but not right now. We don't really know what to do with the Kirara Magica stuff as we decided that Other/Alt doesnt really have a reason to exist when Magia Exedra/Other does, Celtic said that they would rather decide after the articles are made. The last thing is that the nightmare stories from Exedra should go into either Original/Other or Magia Record/Other depending on where they happen, as they're "posibilities", which yeah means theyre not really canon but they still fit into those universes, as theyre posibilities. - [[User:TheresaFrog421|TheresaFrog421]] ([[User talk:TheresaFrog421|talk]]) 19:34, 28 June 2026 (UTC)
: Understood. I am very busy irl for the moment but I should e free tomorrow and I'll get to it, as well as finding the files of the latest exedra update. ~ [[User:Sweet Beanie|Sweet Beanie]] ([[User talk:Sweet Beanie|talk]]) 15:31, 30 June 2026 (UTC)
: So to make sure I understand correctly, this is the list right? If not just edit it and I'll do it tomorrow. ~ [[User:Sweet Beanie|Sweet Beanie]] ([[User talk:Sweet Beanie|talk]]) 15:57, 30 June 2026 (UTC)
:: Yes that's what we ended up with. - [[User:TheresaFrog421|TheresaFrog421]] ([[User talk:TheresaFrog421|talk]]) 16:02, 30 June 2026 (UTC)
::: Sorry, but I reverted it. You just cut-and-pasted the content from one page to the other, instead of using the Move function (which is available to all users by the way, under "More"). For now I've moved all the Timelines articles to Timeline; you can redo the rest from there when you find the time. ~ [[User:Celtic Minstrel|Celtic Minstrel]] ([[User talk:Celtic Minstrel|talk]]) 23:22, 30 June 2026 (UTC)
:::: Well dont just delete them, there's been changes that are lost and have to be redone now, plus some pages will have to be cut-and-pasted anyway like Magireco/Historical and Magireco/Prelude (cause right now theyre one page, and you cant really move one page to 2). Atleast move some of the pages yourself since you can move them without leaving redirects. - [[User:TheresaFrog421|TheresaFrog421]] ([[User talk:TheresaFrog421|talk]]) 23:50, 30 June 2026 (UTC)
::::: Yeah, some of them couldn't have just been moved, but those that could have been should have been. And nothing has been lost, for the record – if there's something that's really difficult to redo, I can recover it.
::::: Are there any right now that should be moved without leaving redirects? That is, their content will be the same (or mostly the same) but their final name will be different? ~ [[User:Celtic Minstrel|Celtic Minstrel]] ([[User talk:Celtic Minstrel|talk]]) 23:55, 30 June 2026 (UTC)
::::::Im not really sure just how many there are to move? A lot of the ones you already moved still seem to have that issue of "being just copy pasted instead of moved" like [[Timeline/Magia Record Game/Arc 1]] -> [[Timeline/Magia Record/Arc 1]]. Same goes for the individual timeline articles that got later fused into a single Scene 0 article. I just think its too much trouble trying to preserve the history when its so messy. - [[User:TheresaFrog421|TheresaFrog421]] ([[User talk:TheresaFrog421|talk]]) 00:03, 1 July 2026 (UTC)
:::::::It's true that perfectly preserving all the history isn't really feasible, since there's no concept of "merge" or "split" in the wiki's diff system, but we shouldn't actively work against it. ~ [[User:Celtic Minstrel|Celtic Minstrel]] ([[User talk:Celtic Minstrel|talk]]) 00:08, 1 July 2026 (UTC)
::::::::I mean yeah you're right, but this feels like too much, Imo you should just undelete/revert the pages, like yes history is important, it helps to see what person wrote what, but I don't really think its worth this much trouble when a lot of the history will be lost anyway. - [[User:TheresaFrog421|TheresaFrog421]] ([[User talk:TheresaFrog421|talk]]) 00:11, 1 July 2026 (UTC)
:::::::::I deleted all the ones that were requested for deletion, and moved their talk pages to appropriate places. Other than that, I probably won't do anything more today, but I ''will'' look over the diffs of the deleted pages later to make sure nothing crucial was lost. So if you want to hold off on redoing anything that's not a straight and simple copy-paste until I get to that, feel free. ~ [[User:Celtic Minstrel|Celtic Minstrel]] ([[User talk:Celtic Minstrel|talk]]) 00:42, 1 July 2026 (UTC)
:::::::::: Okay, I think you should just undelete the ones that would have to be copy and pasted anyway, those are:
::::::::::* [[Timeline/Original/Prelude]]
::::::::::* [[Timeline/Magia Record/Prelude]]
::::::::::* [[Timeline/Magia Report]]
::::::::::* [[Timeline/Magia Record/Other]]
::::::::::* [[Timeline/Magia Record/Anime]]
::::::::::* [[Timeline/Magia Exedra/Other]]
::::::::::Each one of these was split off from an article that was big, now I think you should move:

::::::::::* [[Timeline/Original]] -> [[Timeline/Original/Historical]] OR leave it like it is and undelete [[Timeline/Original/Historical]] (depending on where you want the history)

::::::::::: Okay, I undeleted the ones you listed. If I understand correctly, the three you've listed as "either move or undelete" are cases where big articles were split in half. Am I right on this point? ~ [[User:Celtic Minstrel|Celtic Minstrel]] ([[User talk:Celtic Minstrel|talk]]) 14:20, 1 July 2026 (UTC)
:::::::::::: Yes, you still have to move Timeline/Original and Timeline/Miscellaneous, idk how it works but if you can, undelete the versions you deleted of [[Timeline/Original]] and [[Timeline/Other]] (after moving). - [[User:TheresaFrog421|TheresaFrog421]] ([[User talk:TheresaFrog421|talk]]) 15:07, 1 July 2026 (UTC)
::::::::::::: That's done. I assume some things need to be deleted from the moved pages… anything else?

:::::::::::::::Done. I can see there are still some differences between the current [[Timeline]] page and the previous revision, so I'll dump that at [[User:Sweet Beanie/Timeline]] since I'm not sure which version is better. As for <s>Timeline/Original</s>, it looks like it's mostly just reordered, but I'll take another look at it. Are there any other pages with missing parts that I should look up? ~ [[User:Celtic Minstrel|Celtic Minstrel]] ([[User talk:Celtic Minstrel|talk]]) 15:52, 1 July 2026 (UTC)
:::::::::::::::: Other than that, it seems fine. Thank you ~ [[User:Sweet Beanie|Sweet Beanie]] ([[User talk:Sweet Beanie|talk]]) 15:55, 1 July 2026 (UTC)
::::::::::::::::Timeline/Original wasn't the one I was thinking of that seemed reordered. It was Timeline/Original/Other. Timeline/Original was directly undeleted after renaming the previous revision to Timeline/Original/Historical, so it should be exactly the same; and if there's something missing it would be in Historical. ~ [[User:Celtic Minstrel|Celtic Minstrel]] ([[User talk:Celtic Minstrel|talk]]) 15:58, 1 July 2026 (UTC)

::::::::::: Yeah, no. I did everything right for the splits and the content changes, though I'll grant I should have used Move for the simple renames, they'd still be too few. No, most of the pages couldn't have used the MOVE function since they needed to be split, changed and sorted again, reference tables needed to be created, links needed to be fixed, navigation tables, I found a couple of typos, etc. You'd see the information wasn't the exact same if you took the time to look through them. Even through the numbers in the recent changes page, you could see that what was added from one article was different from what was removed from another article. I worked for more than 3 hours yesterday to make sure they were all corrected, now I can't even see what I did since they're entirely deleted. Not to mention the big mess that will need to be fixed now that the Arc 2 reference links are shortened. Was your plan to have me do them again but this time use the move function and have the end result be the exact same, or did you genuinely not look through them? Return my articles to how I left them yesterday. It's absolutely disheartening to see something you did out of pure passion and love for a piece of media to be deleted and then be told to do it again. I wanted the information archived and available for the public so they can understand the franchise better and now it's entirely gone. Return the articles to how I left them yesterday, because I'm not doing this again. I don't even know where I'd find the original files and writing I used anymore and I'm not gonna go look. You could have literally waited a bit, asked, commented them out, or anything other than delete them entirely. Undelete them. Thank you in advance. I'll be back when I see them restored, or at least backed up somewhere where I can access them so I can use that much beloved Move function properly. Have a good day. ~ [[User:Sweet Beanie|Sweet Beanie]] ([[User talk:Sweet Beanie|talk]]) 10:40, 1 July 2026 (UTC)
::::::::::::Okay I did all I could, Im pretty sure the pages look ''almost'' identical to the originals, but obv that cant be 100%. - [[User:TheresaFrog421|TheresaFrog421]] ([[User talk:TheresaFrog421|talk]]) 15:42, 1 July 2026 (UTC)
::::::::::::: I'm confused as to why they couldn't just be restored or backed up somewhere. Celtic has access to them, no? ~ [[User:Sweet Beanie|Sweet Beanie]] ([[User talk:Sweet Beanie|talk]]) 15:50, 1 July 2026 (UTC)

Celtic Minstrel: /* Upload request */

== Section Titles ==

When editing pages, please try to avoid changing section titles as much as possible, as that could very easily break links without any visible evidence until someone tries to follow them. If you absolutely must change a section title (and there will definitely be times when it's necessary), please be sure to use the What Links Here tool to find every link to the parent page and, if it happens to link to the renamed subtitle, update the link. ~ [[User:Celtic Minstrel|Celtic Minstrel]] ([[User talk:Celtic Minstrel|talk]]) 17:17, 21 December 2024 (UTC)

: Oh, my bad. Sorry, I'll avoid it in the future. [[User:Sweet Beanie|Sweet Beanie]] ([[User talk:Sweet Beanie|talk]]) 20:34, 21 December 2024 (UTC)

:: Avoiding it is good, but as said, it's not like you should ''never'' do it. Just be sure to take the proper additional steps if you feel a rename is really necessary. ~ [[User:Celtic Minstrel|Celtic Minstrel]] ([[User talk:Celtic Minstrel|talk]]) 22:07, 21 December 2024 (UTC)

::: You did it again. Please either revert the section title changes on [[Minor Uwasa]] or use [[Special:WhatLinksHere/Minor Uwasa]] to find the links and redirects you broke and fix them. ~ [[User:Celtic Minstrel|Celtic Minstrel]] ([[User talk:Celtic Minstrel|talk]]) 18:01, 20 May 2025 (UTC)

:::: Sorry. Fixed them. They should all be good now. [[User:Sweet Beanie|Sweet Beanie]] ([[User talk:Sweet Beanie|talk]]) 19:42, 20 May 2025 (UTC)

== Stubs ==

Can you please stop adding stubs where you plan to add content in the future? Like in [https://wiki.puella-magi.net/w/index.php?title=Timeline_%28Historical%29&diff=171768&oldid=171765 this sequence of edits] for example, or anything that uses "TBD" or similar terminology. The content should be added at the same time as the relevant headers. ~ [[User:Celtic Minstrel|Celtic Minstrel]] ([[User talk:Celtic Minstrel|talk]]) 00:24, 21 January 2025 (UTC)
: Understood, I'll write it in a text fle and copy paste it when it's ready.[[User:Sweet Beanie|Sweet Beanie]] ([[User talk:Sweet Beanie|talk]]) 08:48, 21 January 2025 (UTC)

== MagiReco Game Timeline ==

It looks like you're being a bit too ambitious. I suggest limiting the content on the Timelines page to ''only'' the main arc – no event stories (unless they're super important to the main plot, maaaybe?), no Magical Girl stories, no costume stories, not even Another Story (maaaybe the briefest mention if relevant to the main arc). I'm not sure if Mirror Story is important enough to go on that page.

That doesn't mean the other content shouldn't be summarized though – feel free to finish what I started on the [[Magia Record Timeline]] page and also slot in all the other content there. ~ [[User:Celtic Minstrel|Celtic Minstrel]] ([[User talk:Celtic Minstrel|talk]]) 03:41, 28 January 2025 (UTC)

: Oh god, thank you. I was scared of having to mention all of them. If anything, I think I'll mention where the smaller events that don't matter take place. [[User:Sweet Beanie|Sweet Beanie]] ([[User talk:Sweet Beanie|talk]]) 08:27, 28 January 2025 (UTC)

== [[Timelines]] ==

I don't want to stomp on all your hard work, but I think the level of detail on that page is getting waaay past what it really needs to be.

To be clear, I think it's good to have this level of detail, but not on this page – there could be dedicated pages for each Magia Record arc, for example (actually, those pages [[Magia Record Main Story Arc 1|already]] [[Magia Record Main Story Arc 2|exist]] but have only the list of chapters – that could be expanded).

The level of detail for main timelines 1 and 2 seems about right to me. Some could have more detail, but not ''too'' much more. In particular, the Magia Record section is probably at least 10 times larger than it needs to be. There should probably be no more than a sentence or two for each chapter or event, maybe up to around 10 sentences if it's especially complicated (like Arc 1 Chapter 10), with a link to the full chapter summary on another page.

There was also a whole section that doesn't belong at all, which I deleted with the intent of moving it where it belongs (to [[Timeline (Historical)]]), but I only got through the first two sections. Just to make things easy in case you want to finish migrating it to the historical page, I've pasted the whole section below (though you could always retrieve it from the page history). (Note: There ''could'' still be a Pre-Arc 1 section on [[Timelines]], but it would cover backstory, like the "N years ago" sections on [[Magia Record Timeline]] squashed down into an even smaller space.)

Anyway, my main point is that this should page should serve as firstly a brief summary, an overview of the franchise, and secondly as a view of how all the little pieces (events, Magical Girl stories, backstory details, whatever you think is important enough) fit together.

** '''[[Magia Record Story Puella Historia The Mirage of Alexandria Arc|The Mirage of Alexandria]]:'''
*** '''Part 1, July of 31 BCE:''' The Tokime Tribe travels to ancient Egypt during Cleopatra VII's reign to investigate her potential connection to magical girls. Upon arrival in Alexandria, they detect a mysterious aura around Cleopatra and decide to infiltrate her palace. They encounter Ebony, a magical girl loyal to Cleopatra, but Shizuka convinces her to temporarily cease hostilities. While gathering information on the Met Clan, the group falls into a trap set by Cleopatra’s forces. A captured soldier reveals that the Met Clan uses a "Dreaming Drug" to manipulate their soldiers. As tensions intensify between Rome and Egypt, they decide to gather information outside of Alexandria.
*** '''September 2nd of 31 BCE:''' The Battle of Actium begins, with Cleopatra’s forces initially holding their ground but eventually retreating as Octavius gains the upper hand. In Alexandria, Cleopatra sends her son Caesarion away for safety while attempting to negotiate peace with Octavius. With Antonius growing furious over her perceived betrayal, Cleopatra prepares for his arrival.
*** '''August 1st of 30 BCE:''' Antonius attempts suicide after receiving false news of Cleopatra's death, delivered by Ebony. Following his death, the Tokime girls exploit the weakened palace security and Nemu identifies Ebony as the key magical girl tied to their mission. She immobilizes them using her powers and Shizuka tries to reason with her.
*** '''Part 2:''' With assistance from Asahi, who'd been hiding until now, they neutralize Ebony. They explain that the Met Clan recruits young girls to contract with Kyubey, granting them powers to protect Egypt’s rulers. Shizuka shares her own experiences as a magical girl and persuades Ebony to break free from her role in the clan. After settling matters with Cleopatra, Ebony goes to the Met Clan Elder to receive freedom. He agrees, but tasks her with delivering a final message to the queen.
*** '''August 29th of 30 BCE:''' As Cleopatra's been imprisoned, the group infiltrates the guarded facility where she's kept. They find her face deteriorating due to the fading effects of magic granted by the past sacrificed girls. An assassin from the Met Clan, disguised as a soldier, kills Cleopatra by shooting darts into her neck. Ebony almost transforms into a witch but the other girls save her. After Nemu confirms that history remains intact due to the wound resembling a snake bite, they set off to confront the Elder. He reveals he orchestrated Cleopatra’s death to turn Ebony into a witch to use against Rome. When they find out the Elder is under a witch's influence, he commits suicide and they defeat the witch, 10-1. With the Soul Dome now filled, they bid farewell to Ebony and encourage her to embrace her newfound independence before returning to their own time.

* '''77 CE - 79 CE:'''
** '''History A:'''
**** '''Early 77 CE:''' A destructive rainstorm interrupts a play starring the popular actor, Master Paris.
**** '''Early 77 CE:''' The influential families of Pompeii—Cornelia’s, Junia’s, and Marius’—hold a banquet to discuss potential alliances and marriages.
**** '''Summer of 77 CE:''' A chariot race occurs, which Hilarus the Left-Handed wins. Junia and Marius watch the race together.
**** '''Summer of 78 CE:''' After the frequent earthquakes of recent, the city council focuses on rebuilding. Marius announces his marriage to Junia has been approved. Likely around this time, Junia meets a Vestal Maiden of Light and Kyubey, or Master Cubius, who prompts her to become a magical girl. Due to her love for Marius, she refuses.
**** '''October of 79 CE:''' Frequent earthquakes and dried water supplies occur, such as the Aqua Augusta.
**** '''October 24, 79 CE:''' Vesuvius erupts, killing most of the population, including Emperor Vespasian and Plinius in Stabiae without organizing a rescue effort. Pompeii is destroyed, and Cornelia and Marius' families die. Junia makes a contract with Kyubey to be reborn as a different person in the past, and thus creates History B.
** '''History B:'''
*** '''76 CE:''' Junia arrives back three years in time from the eruption of Mount Vesuvius. She tests out her power and poses as her new persona, Amaryllis. She tells the other servants that she's Lady Junia's new handmaiden, which the others believe without question, as her power not only allows her to change her appearance, but also makes others not question inconsistencies based on her identity. She befriends Cornelia as Amaryllis and tells her that she is from Greece and that she shares a tutor with Junia. She convinces Cornelia to help her by predicting a very destructive rainstorm in the midst of a play starring a popular actor, Master Paris.
*** '''[[Magia Record Story Puella Historia The Lovers in the Pax Romana Arc|The Lovers in the Pax Romana]]:'''
**** '''Part 1, 79 CE:''' Himena, Shigure, San, Hagumu, Mitsune, and Miyuri travel back to Pompeii in 79 CE. Thanks to the power of the Rumors, Mitsune has now recovered her ability to walk. Nemu tells them about Amaryllis, a magical girl who altered history. They then find themselves in an unstable space, where time and reality are unstable, and encounter a copy of [[10^−43#10−7|10-7]]. Nemu explains that their interference in an already altered timeline (79 CE) may have caused a time paradox, and that they are in a "Time Paradox Zone," where history is being rewritten. San, Hagumu and Mitsune are caught up in the paradox and separated from the rest of the group. Due to having Nemu's book, Himena is attuned to this time period, so she dreams of Junia and Cornelia’s childhood, where their father announces one will marry Marius.
**** '''Early 77 CE:''' Himena, Shigure, Miyuri and Nemu wake up in Pompeii, two years before the eruption. Cornelia helps them hide and introduces them to Amaryllis, the magical girl who has been warning people about the eruption. Nemu explains two histories: History A, where Pompeii is destroyed, and History B, where Amaryllis succeeded and most people evacuated. Amaryllis’ plan involves Cornelia marrying Marius to gain political influence. The group, now posing as Cornelia’s handmaidens, prepares to attend a banquet at Marius’ villa. Amaryllis explains that the banquet is a critical event where the three influential families—Cornelia’s, Junia’s, and Marius’—will discuss future alliances, including potential marriages. Cornelia is torn between her feelings for Marius and her sister Junia’s happiness. The group encounters and defeats a witch, rescuing Cornelia. They later meet Junia, who is kind and thoughtful, before being taken away by a paradox.
**** '''Summer of 77 CE:''' They reappear later in the year. Amaryllis reveals to them that magical girls in the time period in Ancient Rome were known as Vestal Maidens of Light, which was likely the source of Rome's long-lasting success. Amaryllis and Cornelia are working to spread a prophecy about the impending eruption of Mount Vesuvius through the Cult of Isis, a powerful religious group in Pompeii. Amaryllis uses her metamorphosis magic to disguise herself as a member and deliver the prophecy, claiming it comes from divine sources. They plan to use the upcoming chariot race as proof of their prophetic knowledge, predicting Hilarus the Left-Handed will win. The chariot race coincides with Cornelia’s birthday, and Amaryllis has arranged for Cornelia and Marius to watch the race together, while Junia will celebrate separately. The group encounters a barrier again, this time only a familiar. Amaryllis and Cornelia successfully gain the cooperation of the Cult of Isis by proving the accuracy of their prophecy about Hilarus the Left-Handed’s victory in the chariot race. The priestess of Isis is convinced by the detailed predictions Amaryllis provides, including future events like the death of Emperor Vespasian and the drying up of the Aqua Augusta. The Cult of Isis agrees to prepare its followers for the impending disaster, so Amaryllis and Cornelia plan to extend their efforts to other temples, including those dedicated to Venus and Apollo. They also prepare to leverage Cornelia’s connections, such as attending a tutelage ceremony for the popular actor Paris, to further spread their message. However, the timeline remains unstable, and they suspect that another time paradox event is imminent. The members of the Neo-Magius prepare for the possibility of being transported to another point in time, as has happened before when key conditions were met.
**** '''Summer of 78 CE:''' Amaryllis and Cornelia play a game, but they're interrupted by Himena, Miyuri, and Shigure's arrival after the year-long absence. They discuss the current situation in Pompeii, where the rumors of Mount Vesuvius’ impending eruption have caused some residents and influential figures, including Cornelia’s father, to consider relocating. However, the city council remains divided, with many still favoring reconstruction over evacuation. They also consider seeking the help of Admiral Plinius, a renowned scholar and military leader, to advocate for evacuation.
**** '''[[Amaryllis#Side Story|Amaryllis' MSS]]:'''
***** '''A Maiden Ought to Play Games, 78 CE:''' Amaryllis plays Ludus with Lady Cornelia and encourages her to watch a particular chariot race with him. During a stroll in Pompeii, Miyuri loses her smartphone, which Cornelia recalls seeing earlier in a storage room. Cornelia's father had taken it to a jeweler for appraisal, where Gaius, a relative of Pliny the Elder, showed interest in purchasing it. Concerned about potential historical paradoxes, the group hurries to retrieve it.
***** '''A Spark of Flaring Love:''' Cornelia devises a plan to ask her father to cancel the sale. She attends the chariot race with Marius, while the others search for Gaius. After the match, Amaryllis impersonates Gaius to secure the smartphone, while Himena and others prevent the real Gaius from entering. As the plan unfolds, a labyrinth emerges near the Temple of Venus.
***** '''Love is War:''' Marius unexpectedly arrives on horseback to rescue Cornelia and her father from the supposed ghostly disturbances near the temple. Amaryllis successfully gets the phone while the others detain the real Gaius, who later wakes up confused after the witch's been defeated. The next day, Cornelia prepares for a picnic with Marius and Junia, and Amaryllis returns to playing Ludus with her.
*** '''[[Magia Record Story Puella Historia The Lovers in the Pax Romana Arc|The Lovers in the Pax Romana, continued]]:'''
**** '''Part 1, continued:''' The group travels to Misenum to meet Plinius. Himena suggests using her synthesis magic, as she's now learned to use her power to replicate powers without draining them from others, to replicate Amaryllis’ abilities, allowing others to assist in the plan. They successfully intercept Plinius near the coast, where Cornelia and Amaryllis explain the impending eruption of Mount Vesuvius. Despite revealing future events, including the death of Emperor Vespasian and Plinius’ own fate during the eruption, he refuses to support their cause. The group returns to Cornelia’s villa, where Nemu expresses concern that revealing too much, such as Plinius’ death, may have already disrupted the timeline. The next day, a messenger arrives with a surprising request from Consul Titus, the eldest son of Vespasian and the future emperor, who wishes to meet Cornelia in private.
**** '''Part 2:''' Two days later, Cornelia and Amaryllis meet with Titus, who had been informed of their prophecy and the supposed death of the current emperor by Plinius. He cannot order a mass evacuation without proof, but promises to help evacuate once the eruption begins and to facilitate aid for survivors in Neapolis. After the meeting, Cornelia, Marius, and Junia head to a picnic where Marius announces that his father has approved his engagement to Cornelia. They enjoy a peaceful moment together while Himena, Miyuri, Shigure, and Nemu defeat an offshoot of the original 10-7 witch and then observe the picnic. Nemu explains that the witch they first encountered in 77 CE has been actively interfering with history by creating powerful offshoots and to restore the correct timeline of History B, they must defeat the original witch. That night, Himena has a dream where Amaryllis laments not becoming a Vestal Maiden of Light during the original Pompeii's destruction.
**** '''October of 79 CE:''' Frequent earthquakes and dried water supplies confirm the prophecy. Many residents, influenced by the efforts of Cornelia and Marius' families have already evacuated, but some still remain. The Cult of Isis provides additional ships to aid in the evacuation, and Marius frees charioteers trapped in the barracks, who then help guide people to safety.
**** '''October 24, 79 CE:''' The eruption of Vesuvius begins and Cornelia, Marius, and their families coordinate the evacuation to the shore, where ships await. However, a large group of residents, possessed by a witch, move toward danger. Himena, Miyuri, Shigure, and Nemu confront the 10-7 witch while Amaryllis and Cornelia focus on saving lives. As the situation seems dire, the Roman navy, led by Admiral Plinius, arrives with a massive fleet to assist in the evacuation.
**** In Stabiae, Plinius ensures his fleet rescues as many as possible and instructs his subordinates to record his death as a brave act. To ensure history remains intact, he dies in the eruption.
**** With the arrival of San, Hagumu, and Mitsune, Himena, Shigure and Miyuri manage to defeat the witch. They realize that while they couldn’t save everyone, they succeeded in changing the future and ensuring that many lives were saved. As the eruption of Mount Vesuvius reaches its peak, the remaining residents of Pompeii are evacuated by ship. Cornelia and Marius look forward to rebuilding their lives in Neapolis, when they notice Amaryllis and Junia missing. Amaryllis reflects on her vow to have lived the rest of her life in atonement, dedicating herself to the peace of Rome and honoring the memories of those she couldn’t save. As Junia, she stays in the Pompeii and wears the bracelet given to her by Marius as a reminder of her past and the love she once had. With the timeline restored, the others return to the future.

She encounters and befriends Rena, and later Momoko, and Kaede, unaware that they are from the future. Despite Toyo's cursed reputation, Rena and the others treat her kindly, which deeply moves her. They're confronted by soldiers from Kuna, a rival nation to Yamatai, who mistake Rena for Toyo due to a book they believe is a gift from the Wei Dynasty. After a brief skirmish, the Kuna soldiers retreat with the book, which is Nemu, but not before she tells them that Toyo is the magical girl their mission is based around. Due to their appearance and outfits, Rena accidentally lets it slip that they're from the future, but since the people of the era don't understand the word, they understand it as being a distant, more advanced country. Toyo's group arrives in Yamatai, however, Himiko rejects Toyo and accuses her younger brother of using Toyo as a political pawn. Rena defends Toyo, and the group leaves her quarters, staying in a nearby lodging for the night. Himiko's younger brother explains to Toyo and her friends that the previous shrine maiden candidates were plagued by a curse, leading to disasters. One candidate was possessed, and another sacrificed herself to exorcise the curse. He dismisses the idea that Toyo is the child of a Cursed God, suggesting Himiko’s rejection stems from fear of repeating past tragedies. He vows to make Toyo the successor despite Himiko’s objections. Toyo, feeling lost and rejected, encounters a soldier from Kuna who reveals that Toyo is the child of Himiko and the king of Kuna, not a cursed being. This revelation shocks Toyo and she questions why Himiko hid this from her and why she was treated as cursed. Toyo decides to prove herself by helping a drought-stricken village. Despite initial distrust, Toyo and her friends work to build a canal to prevent flooding when the rain comes. The villagers, seeing their efforts, gradually accept Toyo and join in the work.

*** '''Part 2:''' Crops and livestock across Yamatai are mysteriously withering, leading villagers to believe it’s a curse. Himiko’s younger brother reveals that Kuna has been pressuring Yamatai to make Toyo the successor to avoid war. Himiko uncovers her brother’s plot to manipulate Toyo and use her as a political pawn, but she refuses to comply, deciding instead to resume war with Kuna despite the risks. Toyo’s health deteriorates, and she experiences episodes of paralysis. Himiko, realizing she cannot protect Toyo from her illness or the political turmoil, pleads with Rena and Kaede to take Toyo to the future, where she might be cured. Himiko declares war on Kuna, aiming to protect Yamatai and Toyo from Kuna’s schemes. The war begins, and Yamatai initially struggles against Kuna’s forces. Momoko confronts Himiko, urging her to give Toyo a reason to believe in her actions, as Toyo remains unaware of the true reasons behind the war. As the war rages, Toyo, despite her failing health, is determined to protect her village and the canal they built. She struggles to move but pushes herself, knowing the importance of the canal for the villagers. She is discovered by a Yamatai soldier who insists she return to safety, but Toyo resists. Rena and Kaede arrive and reveal they have built a palanquin to help Toyo move more easily and they support her decision to go to the village.

She transforms into a magical girl, gaining the strength to surpass her disease, fight and protect her people. Toyo arrives to help Rena, Kaede and Momoko fight the witch responsible for the attack. Himiko passes away, leaving Toyo as her successor. Toyo, though grieving, vows to carry on her mother's legacy and lead Yamatai to prosperity.

** '''[[Magia Record Story Puella Historia The Rakshasi of Tibet|The Rakshasi of Tibet]]:'''
*** '''Part 1:''' Lavi, Alexandra and Urara arrive in 13th-century Tibet, seeking the Rakshasi, a figure who will end the war between Tibet and Mongolia and bring peace. Lavi discovers that the nunnery is training young girls to become Rakshasi, with Heruka being a key figure. Dolma, the leader of the nunnery, reveals that they exiled the adults who tried to stop the Rakshasi ceremony, as they believed in fighting the Mongols. Meanwhile, Alexandra and Urara pose as performers and are captured by the Mongol leader, Dolo'adai, who plans to use their powers against the convent. Lavi learns that the Rakshasi are magical girls chosen through a ritual with a mysterious figure named Lord Jataka, Kyubey. Lavi and Nemu discuss the discrepancies in history, noting that the nunnery's role and the existence of "junior nuns" are not part of the original historical record. They surmise that Heruka is likely the Rakshasi mentioned in history and Lavi decides not to interfere with Heruka's fate, as it would alter history. A Mongolian soldier is captured after attempting to poison the nunnery's well. Heruka interrogates him, as she can speak Mongolian, revealing that the Mongols believe the Rakshasi attacked them first, which lead to their invasion. Heruka is shaken by the accusations but keeps the details from Dolma. Lavi learns that another junior nun who speaks Mongolian, likely Alexandra or Urara, is with the Mongols. Accompanied by Heruka, Lavi reunites with Alexandra and Urara, where they discuss the historical discrepancies and the possibility of a witch influencing events. Nemu suggests they may need to intervene to ensure the Rakshasi ends the war as history dictates. Alexandra and Urara decide to stay with the Mongols to gather intelligence, while Lavi and Heruka return to the nunnery through a hidden entrance to prepare for the impending attack. The Mongols discover the hidden entrance to the town and plan to use it to launch a surprise attack. They set a trap, using false information to lure the nunnery's defenders into an ambush. Alexandra and Urara learn of the impending attack and reveal that the Mongols' plan, but Heruka deduces that the attack will likely be a night raid, not at dawn as initially suggested. She prepares the nunnery for an ambush, evacuating the townsfolk and organizing a counterattack. The nunnery's defenders, led by Heruka and Lavi, successfully ambush the Mongols, but the Mongols use a feigned retreat to lure them into a trap and successfully counterattack. The town is set ablaze and Lavi stays behind to hold off the Mongols while the others retreat. Heruka is overwhelmed by guilt, believing her actions led to the town's destruction. She asks the villagers to restrain Dolma so she can fulfill her role as a Rakshasi. Heruka then encounters Kyubey, who offers her a contract to become a magical girl. Heruka accepts, wishing to erase the memory of the Rakshasi from everyone's minds to end the war. Heruka's wish changes history, erasing the memory of the Rakshasi, even among the Folklore of Zero, and altering the perception of the nunnery. The Mongols withdraw, and the war comes to a ceasefire. Heruka spreads the ashes of her loved ones, symbolizing their return to the earth, and embraces her role as a Rakshasi. After the nunnery is restored, Dolma decides to leave and join the Order of the White Hill to seek support for the nunnery. She and Heruka share a heartfelt farewell, with Heruka giving Dolma a manuscript to help her learn Mongolian.
*** '''Part 2:''' Heruka, now seen as a savior by her followers, confronts Mongolian soldiers. Despite being shot with arrows, she remains unharmed, which the soldiers interpret as a miracle. Many Mongols abandon their weapons and convert to her faith, believing she is an incarnation of the Buddha as her magic pacifies people's hearts. Heruka’s influence grows, and she continues to spread her teachings, aiming to bring peace and Shambhala to the world. Meanwhile, the Mongolian commander, Dolo'adai, is ordered to destroy Heruka’s followers, but his soldiers are reluctant, fearing divine punishment. Lavi, Alexandra, and Urara observe Heruka’s growing influence and success in stopping the war. The group decides to investigate further by studying religious texts to understand Heruka’s role and the concept of the Rakshasi. Dolma, now part of the Order of the White Hill, successfully negotiates support for the nunnery from the temple’s head priest. Lavi, Nemu, and Urara are studying a palm-leaf manuscript about Tibet’s history, which mentions the Rakshasi. They discuss the possibility of it being a mythological account of Tibet’s founding, as they've forgotten about the Rakshasi due to Heruka's wish. Meanwhile, Heruka arrives and informs them that the Mongolian Army has attacked their village and others, resuming their invasion. Survivors beg for vengeance against the Mongols and a wounded Mongolian soldier reveals that the general has allied with the Rakshasi, and Heruka comforts him as he dies. The group learns that the Mongols plan to continue their attacks, exhausting them. Later, Deki, another girl at the nunnery, informs Heruka that Dolma has been caught in the fighting as a mediator between Heruka and the Order of the White Hill, who seek peace with the Mongols. Returning to her village, she finds it destroyed by the Mongols. The villagers, who revere Heruka as their savior, refuse to accept peace with the Mongols. Dolma is attacked by Mongolian soldiers but escapes and reunites with Heruka. Heruka meets with former Lamas and nunnery priests, and proposes a decisive battle against the Mongols and enlists their help. Dolma convinces the Temple Head Priest to support the plan, believing in Heruka’s miracle. Meanwhile, the Mongolian general, Dolo'adai, prepares for the final battle and agrees to meet Heruka’s group on Mongolian soil. Heruka shares a childhood story about her grandmother, who made her believe butter tea was sweet. Heruka and her group arrive in Mongolia after days of travel. Dolma insists on being the interpreter, but it’s revealed that everyone, including the Temple Head Priest, understands Mongolian. They are led to a location resembling a Tibetan monastery, where General Dolo'adai awaits. Heruka and Dolo'adai exchange tense words, and Heruka reveals her plan to end the fighting by becoming a Mongolian officer. Heruka shocks her followers by claiming to betray them, offering them to the Mongols as a "gift." She insults her companions and declares herself a Rakshasi. Heruka’s followers and the Mongols are horrified, and the Temple Head Priest accuses her of being a fraud. Dolma defends Heruka, but Heruka continues to play the villain, claiming she manipulated everyone for her own gain. She even accuses herself of killing Dolma’s family and others in their hometown. The Mongols, convinced of her evil nature, prepare to execute her. Heruka’s followers turn against her, and she is taken away. Heruka’s former Lama testifies against her, but Dolma tries to defend Heruka, who continues to play the villain. She reveals her plan to lure out the witch, the source of hatred and conflict, by creating a situation filled with hatred. Heruka is condemned as a Rakshasi, and the Mongols prepare to execute her. Heruka confronts the witch and uses her magic to put everyone to sleep, but Lavi resists and follows her. Heruka confronts the witch, realizing her magic is being canceled out by the witch’s power of hatred. Despite being at a disadvantage in a direct fight, Lavi and the others arrive to help, revealing they resisted Heruka’s magic because they wanted to protect her. Together, they manage to defeat the witch, but Heruka’s magic weakens, and the people, now awake, turn against her, throwing rocks and calling her a monster. Dolma defends Heruka and they flee together. Lavi and the others hold off the Mongols, allowing Dolma and Heruka to escape until they reach a flower of blue poppies. After Heruka’s execution, Dolma struggles with grief and anger, but Lavi encourages her to record the truth about Heruka, ensuring her legacy is preserved. Dolma travels to Mongolia, helping to spread a new script while secretly inscribing the truth about Heruka in monuments. She reflects on Heruka’s sacrifice and the blue flowers that symbolize her hope.

: The [[Timeline (Historical)]] is meant to have the original historical records of the events that happened. Puella Historia has the members of the cast change the past, so while it might not belong in [[Timelines]], it's not for Historical either. Would you agree to placing it in [[Magia Record Timeline]] and the game section of [[Timelines]] to just direct to it? [[User:Sweet Beanie|Sweet Beanie]] ([[User talk:Sweet Beanie|talk]]) 12:45, 2 March 2025 (UTC)

:: The page has a section for the Magia Record timeline too. Also, how do we know they change the past? I'm not aware of any reason to believe that either the Tart events or the Puella Historia events result in changing the past. I haven't watched the Puella Historia finale mind you, so perhaps there's something there, but if you're merely ''assuming'' they change the past then I don't think that's a good assumption. ~ [[User:Celtic Minstrel|Celtic Minstrel]] ([[User talk:Celtic Minstrel|talk]]) 14:32, 2 March 2025 (UTC)

::: I meant the history before the Kamihama gangs went back in time. For example, originally, the Tart stuff goes exactly as in the manga, then Iroha, Yachiyo and Ui go to the past and make some changes, even if just in Tart's dream. Another example would be how Toyo had no friends until KaMoRe came from the future. The end result is mostly similar, but the original Toyo never met anyone named Rena Minami. Historical should be for the events without involving time travel, while other articles which include the present should tell of the time travel stuff, because it starts in the present (like Present-day Kamihama for Puella Historia), they go back in time (like Mirage of Alexandria, make some minute changes, usually preventing 10^-43 from messing things up), then they go back to the present. It's why I didn't bring the Historia MSS stories that didn't involve the girls from Kamihama to [[Timelines]] but added them as references in Historical. The people from the present didn't affect Ebony's MSS since it happened before the Tokime arrived to Alexandria. I intend to put the other events of the recent past in Kamihama to the Historical Magia Record section too, unless they involve any time travel. This would also be easier since Historical overall has less detail than I've put into my draft of events.

:::: Okay, so it seems our disagreement can basically be traced back to a disagreement on what it really means to travel back in time. There seems to be an implicit assumption that Homura's form of time travel is the only form that exists, yet Amaryllis directly proves otherwise – her time travel method is very different. That already shows that there are multiple forms of time travel in the setting. That in turn implies that there's no guarantee that any two instances of time travel have properties in common. So, when analyzing time travel, we should avoid making assumptions. And it should be acknowledged that applying "common sense" to time travel just doesn't work. ~ [[User:Celtic Minstrel|Celtic Minstrel]] ([[User talk:Celtic Minstrel|talk]]) 08:13, 3 March 2025 (UTC)
::::: Yeah, Tart events always played weirdly with the rules. Amaryllis' time travel is the most conventional, Iroha also did it once with that leaf in the Arc 2 finale. Homura supposedly goes back in time AND switches realities (Guitarist Kyosuke timeline). Mirrors time travel is weird because, the moment the mirror they traveled from shatters, the people traveling through it go back to where hey came from. Don't even get me started with Null Magica. Mikoto's was the only one that was said to bring paradoxes and potentially destroy the world, but it's ultimately unconfirmed. [[User:Sweet Beanie|Sweet Beanie]] ([[User talk:Sweet Beanie|talk]]) 10:15, 3 March 2025 (UTC)
:::::: There is no such thing as "conventional" in time travel. The "switches realities" theory for Homura's time travel doesn't seem to be canon – Homura Tamura rolls it up to ridiculous, but there is nothing whatsoever in the show to support it (guitarist Kyosuke is ''clearly not'' canon). From what we ''actually see'', her time travel is something like "stuffing her future soul into her past body". Amaryllis's time travel is the closest we get to a "wormhole" or "portal", where two versions of Amaryllis exist simultaneously. I think the only thing we can really conclude is that there are no rules for time travel in the setting – each time traveller has her own rules. ~ [[User:Celtic Minstrel|Celtic Minstrel]] ([[User talk:Celtic Minstrel|talk]]) 00:34, 4 March 2025 (UTC)
::::::: I hate to bring up old points again, especially since the matter for which this discussion started has been settled, but if Guitarist Kyosuke can't be taken as canon, since the information comes from a witch card, then what about Cleopatra and Himiko? Why are the production notes of Cleopatra and Himiko from episode 11 taken as canon proof they're magical girls, and the Historia versions of them are taken as a separate universe? From what we saw, we never got confirmation that that was Cleopatra or Himiko except runes of their names and production notes saying they were. Toyo's event even had a cop-out with justifying that the japanese girl from episode 12 was Himiko's shrine maiden. I don't even think we saw Cleopatra's soul gem, and it's not like Tart (from episode 12) where it's so specific and has hard evidence that it's Jeanne of Arc as a magical girl. [[User:Sweet Beanie|Sweet Beanie]] ([[User talk:Sweet Beanie|talk]]) 09:49, 4 March 2025 (UTC)
:::::::: The identity of Cleopatra does not depend on any production notes. The scenes showing her in the anime are very clearly her. I don't know whether or not the same applies to Himiko, but I would say runes of their names are sufficient as evidence to their canon identity. I'm not sure if there's direct evidence in the anime that Cleopatra was a magical girl, though – it's possible it's merely inferred from the fact that all the ''other'' historical characters depicted are magical girls. She ''is'' clasping something to her chest that could be a soul gem, but unlike with Tart, we can't see any evidence that it ''is''. But the main point here is that their identity is clear enough from the anime without resorting to production notes. This is ''definitely'' true for Cleopatra at least. ~ [[User:Celtic Minstrel|Celtic Minstrel]] ([[User talk:Celtic Minstrel|talk]]) 00:14, 5 March 2025 (UTC)
:::: Now, I am not aware of any reason to believe that "the history before the Kamihama gangs went back in time" is something that exists. It's quite within reason to believe that they went back in time because they went back in time. Time travel messes up causality, after all. I am not aware of any convincing evidence that Yachiyo and Ui "make some changes" to the past. Indeed, the Maiden of Hope explicitly questions this theory – it points out that the fact of "Tart remembered Yachiyo and Iroha" may have been true already before they went back, and they just didn't know. It also points out that the sweet dreams charm with the red and blue candles has no origin – Melissa learned it from Iroha, and then Melissa passed it down through history until Iroha learned it. ~ [[User:Celtic Minstrel|Celtic Minstrel]] ([[User talk:Celtic Minstrel|talk]]) 08:13, 3 March 2025 (UTC)
::::: I actually agree with that. However, I think historical should have the barebones of the story, like "Cleopatra dies," since it's ultimately unconfirmed whether they were always meant to be there. [[User:Sweet Beanie|Sweet Beanie]] ([[User talk:Sweet Beanie|talk]]) 10:15, 3 March 2025 (UTC)
:::: So unless we can find references to ''strongly support'' the idea that history was changed (such as an actual non-speculative statement in the game itself about what the history was like "before the change"), then I think it's simpler to assume it wasn't. Based on that premise, they didn't go back in time and change history – they went back in time so that they could replicate the true history that led to their present day. I doubt either version of the theory is strongly-supported by the evidence, mind you, but without explicit data on "pre-change" histories, anything you put there would be speculation. ~ [[User:Celtic Minstrel|Celtic Minstrel]] ([[User talk:Celtic Minstrel|talk]]) 08:13, 3 March 2025 (UTC)
::::: An argument I could make to say that they weren't always meant to go to the past is that Mikoto, having seen the past, didn't comment on the Kamihama girls being there or change her mind by saying "well at some point I agree with them so why prolong the inevitable". The Pillar of Tomorrow has her talk with Iroha about how she's satisfied with Iroha now after she's done with her work.

::::: Ultimately, can we agree to not put any time travel in Historical? I feel like Timelines is the exact place for time travel shenanigans? [[User:Sweet Beanie|Sweet Beanie]] ([[User talk:Sweet Beanie|talk]]) 10:15, 3 March 2025 (UTC)
:::::: I wouldn't say it's the place for "time travel shenanigans". It started out as an analysis of timelines formed specifically from Homura's actions, not timelines in general. It would certainly make sense to briefly cover the Historia and Tart time travel situations in [[Timelines]], but I'd say that should slot in from the future perspective, rather than in a "historical" section. In other words, it's mentioned at the point when they travel back in time, rather than having a section to itself in the past. But giving a full summary of the event would probably be too cluttered, I think.
:::::: I think the main detail of the Puella Historia stories ''definitely'' belongs in [[Timeline (Historical)]], though if you ''really'' want to phrase that summary to avoid mentioning the time travellers, I guess it wouldn't hurt. From the context of the Historia series, the goal is to "prevent the past from changing", so I think it's most reasonable to conclude that the time travellers (including the Witch of Symbols) had only very minor net effects on the past events. And the History A vs History B of Amaryllis's story also belongs there, in my opinion. ~ [[User:Celtic Minstrel|Celtic Minstrel]] ([[User talk:Celtic Minstrel|talk]]) 00:34, 4 March 2025 (UTC)

== Too Many Files ==

Why are you uploading the entire UI of Magia Record? We don't need most of those files. The backgrounds and the item icons are fine in theory, though I think about half of them are duplicates. Most of the rest is useless. There are probably a few exceptions, but we definitely don't need stuff like bits of buttons that are cut up so the button can be made any width desired. ~ [[User:Celtic Minstrel|Celtic Minstrel]] ([[User talk:Celtic Minstrel|talk]]) 20:11, 28 May 2025 (UTC)
: Sorry, I'm done with the files now. I thought it would be better to have them than not have them, especially since a lot of backgrounds are missing from where they should be. I'm done with bulk files for now, at most I will upload a few files for magia record event galleries.[[User:Sweet Beanie|Sweet Beanie]] ([[User talk:Sweet Beanie|talk]]) 20:14, 28 May 2025 (UTC)
:: I don't think there's any worth in having the buttons that you click on in the game, unless there's some nice picture on it. I haven't gone through your list in detail yet, but I'm probably going to delete about 1/4 of the ones that aren't backgrounds when I find time. And there's '''''definitely'''''' no worth in having the numbers in a special font. It's nice that you're helping by uploading missing stuff, but in future please do triage ''before'' uploading, not after. ~ [[User:Celtic Minstrel|Celtic Minstrel]] ([[User talk:Celtic Minstrel|talk]]) 20:23, 28 May 2025 (UTC)
::: Of course, thank you. [[User:Sweet Beanie|Sweet Beanie]] ([[User talk:Sweet Beanie|talk]]) 20:28, 28 May 2025 (UTC)
::::Looks like I was right about duplicates. I found at least one case where the same files were uploaded under different names, on [[Mikazuki Villa]]. I think you'd find most of them if you go through all the backgrounds and file them into appropriate articles – the duplicate would already be there in most cases. ~ [[User:Celtic Minstrel|Celtic Minstrel]] ([[User talk:Celtic Minstrel|talk]]) 00:33, 29 May 2025 (UTC)
:::::I'll get to putting all the backgrounds to where they should be soon.[[User:Sweet Beanie|Sweet Beanie]] ([[User talk:Sweet Beanie|talk]]) 08:42, 29 May 2025 (UTC)
: Alright, I have:
:* Deleted a ton of files that are just particle effects, backgrounds, or pure text.
:* Deleted the duplicate icon images and categorized the rest in [[:Category:Magia Record Item Icons]] (fortunately the wiki identified these duplicates for me). If you know anything about those icons, you can add their info to [[Magia Record Items]].
:* Deleted the duplicate disk icons and element icons.
:* Filtered out a few clearly useful ones, such as the [[Kimochi]] stones.
:* Collected the rest here.

== Irregulars ==

<blockquote>Why are Riz's former companions on this category? I can see why those contracted by Isabeau, but they were contracted by Kyubey.</blockquote>
I included them because I assumed that Riz's wish would have also applied to them and not just Tart. ~ [[User:Amaterasu|Amaterasu]] ([[User talk:Amaterasu|talk]]) 13:55, 13 June 2025 (UTC)

== Labyrinth Spaces ==

<blockquote>Homura was able to enhance one of her rooms to turn it into a white room with floating graphics about Walpurgisnacht through this, and this application of magic seems to do little more than create a small pocket dimension for extra space and visuals.</blockquote>

Where is the justification for this? It sounds like more of a fan theory than established fact to me (in which case it should use the speculation templates), but it's possible I'm missing something. ~ [[User:Celtic Minstrel|Celtic Minstrel]] ([[User talk:Celtic Minstrel|talk]]) 17:54, 21 June 2025 (UTC)

== Common Abilities ==

While I'm on the topic of possible fan theories, it strikes me as varying levels of questionable to include the following in "common abilities":

* Storage/Hammerspace: I can maybe see justification for this in the robes of the Wings of the Magius or Elisa's weapon (which was created by Pernelle, so it's not the magically-summoned weapon that many girls use). But even then, I'm not sure we have sufficient evidence to say that that's an ability of the girl, rather than an ability of the robes or the weapon. Also, when it comes to the robes, there's some evidence that they ''don't'' get stored in any kind of hammerspace.
* Energy Blasts: If this was such an easy ability to learn, how are there so many magical girls that have no way to attack?
* Summon Barriers: This is kind of unclear. It seems to be fairly common for magical girls to learn barrier-like defensive abilities (both Mami and Kyoko did) but I don't see the justification for calling the ability "common to all magical girls".
* Clones: Very few magical girls have been demonstrated to use clones, so it seems very far-fetched to call it "common to all magical girls".
* Teleportation: As above – teleportation actually seems to be a very rare ability as far as I can tell.

It would be less of an issue if the section was "abilities that many magical girls learn" rather than "abilities that all magical girls possess". But other entries in the section clearly ''are'' abilities that all possess. ~ [[User:Celtic Minstrel|Celtic Minstrel]] ([[User talk:Celtic Minstrel|talk]]) 17:54, 21 June 2025 (UTC)

Got a couple more to add:

* Conjuration: I'm not aware of any concrete examples of magical girls conjuring random items. The most notable example, Mami's muskets, is actually a counter-example – she built those muskets from her ribbons. And if she can build a musket from ribbons, she can probably build a teacup too.

* Containers: I'm only aware of two magical girls (Mitama and Niko Kanna) who've created containers (ignoring Alina and her little green cubes, as that's explicitly her unique power). Thus, it seems to me that this should be mentioned as powers of those two girls, rather than in common powers.

~ [[User:Celtic Minstrel|Celtic Minstrel]] ([[User talk:Celtic Minstrel|talk]]) 23:28, 21 June 2025 (UTC)

==Bulk Explanation==

I'll give the explanations for each of them. How I justify all of it is that if many girls have the same ability, which is nt their unique ability, then it can be learned to some extent. Maybe there should be a new section for "Learnable Abilities":

* Labyrinth Spaces: Homura's room did have magic added to it. I called it a labyrinth space because it shifts to Homura's emotions and memories when she hugs Madoka. But that may be non-diegetic. However, Madoka also saw the murals of Walpurgisnacht and asking her about it. Homura couldn't have possibly had that room on her own, so it seems reasonable to be a common application of magic. My logic is that if a power isn't classified as unique to the girl, then it's something learnable. In one of the Tart events, Minou had also added enchantments and stuff to the space around her territory, but it wasn't clear what she'd done. In Kazumi, several characters (like Umika, Niko and Kazumi) did it in various ways, and not just inside the freezer, but that's where it was most common.
* Storage/Hammerspace: Many girls just kind of pull small stuff out of nowhere, but the clearest example of the summoning thing for the storage is when Matsuri pulled out a grief seed from a magical sigil. It is possible the Feathers' robes have the power to store them, but at the very least, Iroha, Kuroe and Matsuri have all stored small objects somewhere on their person (usually just grief seeds, but it still counts). Elisa and Tart's weapons are also proof of this, as well as the obvious Homura shield.
* Energy Blasts: The Feathers attack Eve en mass during the AniReco finale. Feathers are also generally weak, plus Homura also used the same technique, same with Kyoko in AniReco. It stands to reason that it takes a bit of training.
* Summon Barriers: It was already there when I got to the article, but it is a normal application of magic which has been done many times. Natsuki deliberately learned it, and as you said, Kyoko and Mami also did it. Yuuri did the same thing too.
* Clones: Mami and Kanae are obvious, but it's clearly a learned ability that the girls can learn since Kanae and Mami are both different, plus these clones were clearly different from Kyoko's phantom clone ability.
* Teleportation: If you look at the battle animations, many girls are able to use it in short bursts. And since Suzune was able to learn it with her fire magic, as well as so many battle and magia animations, it seems to be a learnable thing.

I'll add and split these and others into "abilities that magical girls can learn" or something along those linesas you say.

: I have quite a lot to say here, so I'm going to split my response up into one spoilerbox per entry. Suffice to say though that I'm not convinced by your arguments. Most of them seem to be full of holes. ~ [[User:Celtic Minstrel|Celtic Minstrel]] ([[User talk:Celtic Minstrel|talk]]) 23:15, 21 June 2025 (UTC)
{{spoilerbox|about=Labyrinth Spaces|
<blockquote>Homura's room did have magic added to it.</blockquote>This is what we're trying to determine, so it's not part of the argument.
<blockquote>I called it a labyrinth space because it shifts to Homura's emotions and memories when she hugs Madoka.</blockquote>I'll assume that "it shifts when she hugs Madoka" is a fact. What makes you believe that the shift is in response to Homura's emotions? ~ [[User:Celtic Minstrel|Celtic Minstrel]] ([[User talk:Celtic Minstrel|talk]]) 23:15, 21 June 2025 (UTC)
: Labyrinths shifting to memories and emotions is a thing that happens. It's unknown if it is diegetic, but there's a difference when emotional moments happen in the normal world, and when they happen in labyrinths.
:: It's just like what happens in the labyrinth of Charlotte in episode 3 (when Mami cries to Madoka and the scenery changes in response to Mami's emotions, being bright when she feels relieved)
:: The labyrinth of HN Elly in episode 4 (Madoka's memories are on display on the TVs)
:: Oktavia's labyrinth also shows memories (of Sayaka and Kyoko when Kyoko and Madoka enter the long aquarium walls)
:: Since Rebellion takes place in a labyrinth, this happens way more, like when Homura and Kyoko walk without the bus, the big tvs behind Mami and Homura showing Charlotte, the flowers responding to Homura and Madoka on the field. (It also happens more than normal, because Homura's the witch, so I can understand that this is a non-normal case)
:: Bottom line, the direction of art for when something emotional happens in a labyrinth, or labyrinth-like space, is different from when they're in the real world, as compared to labyrinths, especially with the memories being reflected on surfaces, which is what happens in Homura's white room when she cries and hugs Madoka. The memories may be non-diegetic, but the change of lighting and scenery is still something that only happens in Labyrinths, including the pendulum room.

:::You have completely missed the point.

<blockquote>Homura couldn't have possibly had that room on her own,</blockquote>This doesn't seem to be a reasonable initial assumption. I don't think anything was ever said about it directly, and it seems quite plausible to me for it to be something like a "video wall", or perhaps some form of video projection. In other words, the wall can be explained by technology, so bringing in magic as an explanation isn't necessary. ~ [[User:Celtic Minstrel|Celtic Minstrel]] ([[User talk:Celtic Minstrel|talk]]) 23:15, 21 June 2025 (UTC)
: I can understand this being a technological room (maybe Homura stole some money or equipment), but nothing hinted at that, plus looking at the other room in Homura's apartment (the one where she googled 'how to make a bomb' in episode 10) it's very different. Additionally, the room's layout reflects a clock with the seats, there's an invisible pendulum being swung around whose shadow we see all the time. This doesn't seem like a normal room, is what I'm trying to say. I get that the technology in the show is advanced, but for a student to just have a white empty room taking up more than one floor is very unlikely. But it is ultimately possible. It just doesn't seem outside the realm of possibility for an experienced Magical Girl to learn to use aspects of her witch, especially since a lot of magic takes the look of those INU Curry assets (even when used by magical girls). Additionally, this is confirmed by Episode 10 when Homura's making the bomb that this is her apartment where she stayed after getting out of the hospital, she didn't go to a different one after the second timeline.
[[User:Sweet Beanie|Sweet Beanie]] ([[User talk:Sweet Beanie|talk]]) 08:06, 22 June 2025 (UTC)
::I don't know why you're assuming Homura stole something. As far as I know, we don't have any evidence to suggest that Homura can't afford expensive equipment. (We also have no evidence to suggest that she ''can'' though, unless you count this room itself as evidence.) Furthermore, I'm not aware of any evidence that suggests the room was built by Homura – it could've easily been already there in her home, set up by her parents at some time in the past. I can see that some of your other arguments here are reasonable arguments for it maybe being magical though. I think it's reasonable to say that it ''might'' be magical and it might not be and we just don't have enough information to be sure either way. ~ [[User:Celtic Minstrel|Celtic Minstrel]] ([[User talk:Celtic Minstrel|talk]]) 20:39, 22 June 2025 (UTC)

: There's quite a few occasions where the Freezer has non-normal imagery in the back, again showing the emotions of the girls. However, with Kazumi's artstyle it's difficult to know what's real and what's in the character's minds.
: During the fight with Kazumi in the freezer, it also changes a lot, the space itself warps and the pillars move up and down in accordance to what the girls need (like when Mirai tries to save Saki). While this may be a technological feat, but they weren't using any device to make that happen, the pillars just knew how and when to make that happen. But again, the entrance to the Freezer itself was only opened to the saints' gems, so isn't that an aspect of "enchanting the environment" through magic in and of itself? It just doesn't seem out of the realm of possibility to imbue magic into a room to make it completely white, or somewhat respondent to one's input.
: In the Tart event, I recall talks about how the quarters of Minou (or rather the castle, while they were trying to reach the bell) had magic throughout it, but Minou's special cuz she has benefitted from many contracts, and wedon't know what it was since it was just dialogue in the game. Ultimately, this is the weakest, but I thougt it's worth bringing up.
[[User:Sweet Beanie|Sweet Beanie]] ([[User talk:Sweet Beanie|talk]]) 08:06, 22 June 2025 (UTC)
:: Regarding the Freezer, it sounds less likely to be technological than Homura's room, though it's still possible. On the other hand, from your description here, I wouldn't conclude it's a labyrinth barrier either. Perhaps it ''could'' be, but as you mention yourself, they might have simply enchanted the walls and the pillars. ~ [[User:Celtic Minstrel|Celtic Minstrel]] ([[User talk:Celtic Minstrel|talk]]) 20:39, 22 June 2025 (UTC)

<blockquote>My logic is that if a power isn't classified as unique to the girl, then it's something learnable.</blockquote>There is quite a gulf between "it's possible to learn this power" and "this is something that any girl can learn".

: For one, like when Iroha saved Yachiyo in episode 5, I can't see any pockets on her person, or most of the girls. But it's definitely possible. When Kuroe refused to give the grief seed to kuro in the flashback, she touches her pocket, but it's like how girls' phones stay in their pocket when they're in civilian form, and then when they transform, they just temporarily disappear and it's not acknowledged.

: When Matsuri saved Suzune from Kagari, she gave her a Grief Seed which she pulled out of a small magical seal. Unless Matsuri can create tem out of thin air, that's just what she had in store for later use.

: It's possible this is a Pernelle only thing too, but what I was referring to is that both of them can summon weapons that weren't originally theirs. They're both "one of a kind" things that they could keep in some kind of storage.

~ [[User:Celtic Minstrel|Celtic Minstrel]] ([[User talk:Celtic Minstrel|talk]]) 23:15, 21 June 2025 (UTC)
: With Maturi being confirmed to have done that, as well as many girls just randomly pulling stuff out of nowhere (another case is when Riz pulled grief seeds just by reaching into her back when fighting Minou's witch army, but that could have been an actual pocket tbh) it seemed a normal thing.
[[User:Sweet Beanie|Sweet Beanie]] ([[User talk:Sweet Beanie|talk]]) 08:06, 22 June 2025 (UTC)
:: If it's only grief seeds being pulled out from apparently nowhere though, I don't think that necessarily implies any kind of generic storage magic. Maybe all magical girls can store grief seeds in some magical pocket, but that doesn't necessarily mean they can store ''anything'' in that pocket. I would say it's unclear whether it's even true for grief seeds, as you could also explain it away as animation shortcuts. ~ [[User:Celtic Minstrel|Celtic Minstrel]] ([[User talk:Celtic Minstrel|talk]]) 20:39, 22 June 2025 (UTC)
}}{{spoilerbox|about=Energy Blasts|
<blockquote>The Feathers attack Eve en mass during the AniReco finale.</blockquote>Hmm, I suppose things that the feathers use can reasonably be extrapolated to "any magical girl can learn this". But when exactly did they use energy blasts? My understanding is that the feathers attack by enchanting chains to move according to their will, making it essentially a form of telekinesis, as well as a specific application of enchantments. I don't know how that leads to energy blasts. ~ [[User:Celtic Minstrel|Celtic Minstrel]] ([[User talk:Celtic Minstrel|talk]]) 23:15, 21 June 2025 (UTC)
: When Eve is bound, as well as flying overhead, the feathers and presumably many girls from Kamihama just shoot glowing projectiles at her. The chains were also just a weapon they could control, but the blasts of magic were done by so many girls that it seems safe to assume anyone can learn to do that. Many magia attacks also have the girls summo orbs or beams of energy regardless as well.
[[User:Sweet Beanie|Sweet Beanie]] ([[User talk:Sweet Beanie|talk]]) 08:06, 22 June 2025 (UTC)
:Hmm, maybe this one is okay. I don't remember this happening but it's been awhile since I watched the Magica Record anime. Although, it seems like an anime-only thing, as I don't think there's any mention of it in the game version of the story. ~ [[User:Celtic Minstrel|Celtic Minstrel]] ([[User talk:Celtic Minstrel|talk]]) 20:39, 22 June 2025 (UTC)
::This one seems the most harmless to me. Even the girls' normal attacks often involve some beams, projectiles, bursts of energy, etc. We've seen the energy blasts from every element type in the game, and with how many girls in Kamihama used it in the finale, it does seem very easy.

: Homura used it to threaten Sayaka in episode 8, and also used it when hunting Kyubey at the end of episode 10. Kyoko used it in the magia record anime with her hand when helping Iroha get to Yachiyo.
[[User:Sweet Beanie|Sweet Beanie]] ([[User talk:Sweet Beanie|talk]]) 08:06, 22 June 2025 (UTC)
::…what? I looked at episode 8, but I don't see anything that looks clearly like an energy blast. We see Homura's soul gem glowing, and perhaps it could be reasonable to expect an energy blast to appear, but nothing actually happens, so I think we can't conclude anything definite about what she might have been about to do. Episode 10 is clearer, though I think we can't rule out that it's an enchanted bullet rather than a pure energy blast. ~ [[User:Celtic Minstrel|Celtic Minstrel]] ([[User talk:Celtic Minstrel|talk]]) 20:39, 22 June 2025 (UTC)

<blockquote>It was already there when I got to the article, but it is a normal application of magic which has been done many times. Natsuki deliberately learned it, and as you said, Kyoko and Mami also did it. Yuuri did the same thing too.</blockquote>The problem with this one is that all the girls who learn barriers have dramatically different barriers. Kyoko's barrier is made of criss-crossed chains, Mami's is made out of ribbons, and Yuuri's if I recall correctly was some kind of force shield. I don't know what Natsuki's was like. But 4 people creating 4 dramatically different types of barriers doesn't seem like it screams "this is something anyone can learn". It's more of a "they all figured out a way to protect things with the magic they were given". ~ [[User:Celtic Minstrel|Celtic Minstrel]] ([[User talk:Celtic Minstrel|talk]]) 23:15, 21 June 2025 (UTC)
: I'll add on to every case.
:: Natsuki's is learned and we don't see it. We can safely say that at least she can learn it.
:: Mami's was made out of her ribbons, so we can exclude it as her ribbon magic instead of just a barrier, even though there was a sort of effect around the ribbons clearly indicating a border was there, but I understand not including this.
:: Kyoko's barriers were made from chains, but in the magia record anime, she did also make a sort of protective bubble when helping Iroha.
:: Yuuri's was a force shield which damaged whoever got close, but we ultimately don't know what happens to those who would have touched Natsuki's, Mami's or Kyoko's barriers either.
:: Another case of this that I forgot to mention is Homura herself. When Oriko attacked the school, Homura created a shield around Madoka, which was similarly a bubble shape like Kyoko's (in anireco) and Mami's (in episode 3).
[[User:Sweet Beanie|Sweet Beanie]] ([[User talk:Sweet Beanie|talk]]) 08:06, 22 June 2025 (UTC)
:: I think I do remember something like that in Oriko Magica, though from what I recall it was more like a cylinder than a sphere.

: Mami's and Kanae's abilities were very different. Mami made the clone out of ribbons while Kanae just made them temporarily. They both learned to do that since they couldn't do that from the start. Maybe not every girl can do it, but some can.
[[User:Sweet Beanie|Sweet Beanie]] ([[User talk:Sweet Beanie|talk]]) 08:06, 22 June 2025 (UTC)
:: As mentioned above, I don't think Kanae's ability is likely to be clones at all. It looks like a speed ability, not clones.

<blockquote>these clones were clearly different from Kyoko's phantom clone ability.</blockquote>And this here totally undermines the argument that clones are a common power that any girl can learn.

::: I'm not sure what you're trying to say here. We have 3 girls who have an ability that you describe as "clones". However, when you dig down into the details of how those 3 abilities actually work, they have almost nothing in common. Thus, the 3 abilities are all dramatically different.

}}{{spoilerbox|about=Teleportation|
<blockquote>If you look at the battle animations, many girls are able to use it in short bursts.</blockquote>That's a massive stretch. If you're judging from battle animations, there's no way to tell the difference between "teleported" and "moved too fast to see".
<blockquote>And since Suzune was able to learn it with her fire magic,</blockquote>This is the first I've heard of Suzune having any kind of teleport magic. Are you talking about "Heat Haze"? I'm pretty sure that's invisibility, not teleport. The name strongly implies as such as well.
<blockquote>as well as so many battle and magia animations,</blockquote>Again, judging teleportation from the animations is a huge stretch.
~ [[User:Celtic Minstrel|Celtic Minstrel]] ([[User talk:Celtic Minstrel|talk]]) 23:15, 21 June 2025 (UTC)

: Off the top of my head, here are the girls that clearly teleport (excluding special variants) :
:: Pernelle (that's like her whole thing, but it may be her special magic, so I'll continue with more examples, I also won't mention Minou for obvious reasons)
:: Suzune (her heat haze was explicitly clarified to be a teleportation or escape spell in Suzune event 1 and 2. In the ladder, she randomly ended up near Aimi (I think it was Aimi but it might've been another girl) and Suzune herself was surprised)
:: Anime Mifuyu (it can't be her hallucinations, since she left Kuroe behind in season 2 episode 2.)
:: Amaryllis (she literally made a portal and threw herself through it while encased in her giant dice cube)
:: Alexandra in her animations does it by playing her harp.
:: Yuna's is unclear on whether it was speed or teleporting to me, but I'll leave it as a probably not.
:: It's unclear if Shigure's magia had teleportation or the fast movement as you said, but she's never been shown to be that fast in the story. However, I'll still have this as a no.
::: I think we can trust the animations too, since Himena was flying through the sky in chapter 12, unless you watch her magia, you wouldn't know how she did that.
[[User:Sweet Beanie|Sweet Beanie]] ([[User talk:Sweet Beanie|talk]]) 08:06, 22 June 2025 (UTC)
:::: This is a very strange list, because it contains girls who clearly can't teleport and also doesn't contain girls who clearly can. I took a look at some of the animations, but I really think they can't be trusted to give an accurate representation of the girl's abilities. You're missing at least Shizuku, Leila, and Coeurl. Anyway, that aside…
:::::Suzune: I have no idea what you mean with "in the ladder". I don't recall a case where she ended up surprised after using Heat Haze to get away, but that in and of itself doesn't prove it to be teleportation. ~ [[User:Celtic Minstrel|Celtic Minstrel]] ([[User talk:Celtic Minstrel|talk]]) 20:39, 22 June 2025 (UTC)

:::::Amaryllis: I don't remember this (maybe it was in Pillar of Eternity that I haven't watched yet?) but it sounds like unambiguously teleporting, so I'll accept that one.
:::::Alexandra, Yuna, Shigure: These are judged from the animations, where you can't trust the concept of space at all. Appearing right in front of the enemy doesn't necessarily mean they teleported there – the grid-based battlefield is not an accurate representation of each girl's location, so you could easily judge that they and the enemy being targeted just happened to be face-to-face at that moment. I do agree that all three magia animations can easily be interpreted as teleportation, though I'd say Yuna and Shigure give more of a "moved very fast" impression, but it's only weak evidence that they might be able to teleport. ~ [[User:Celtic Minstrel|Celtic Minstrel]] ([[User talk:Celtic Minstrel|talk]]) 20:39, 22 June 2025 (UTC)
:::::: Some of these are debatable, (especially Mifuyu and Suzune) but I'll relent since it doesn't seem common enough. Plus Hikaru and Yuna both learned new abilities because of their personal magics, but they're just heat resistance and making minions, both very unique and unrelated. Plus Ria predicted the future once, so I ultimately don't think it matters. What they can learn seems pretty subjective to the specific girl in most cases.

== Scene 0 ==

I would say that Scene 0 does not have any map. None of the files you uploaded for it give any indication of what it would actually look like in-game, because all those elements are layered together with parallax to produce the final effect. It ''may'' be worth posting screenshots of Scene 0 from in-game, to show the final look, but the individual elements that make it up (other than ones that have actual content) don't belong on the wiki.

We also agreed that if any of them are big enough they could deserve their own pages, but not right now. We don't really know what to do with the Kirara Magica stuff as we decided that Other/Alt doesnt really have a reason to exist when Magia Exedra/Other does, Celtic said that they would rather decide after the articles are made. The last thing is that the nightmare stories from Exedra should go into either Original/Other or Magia Record/Other depending on where they happen, as they're "posibilities", which yeah means theyre not really canon but they still fit into those universes, as theyre posibilities. - [[User:TheresaFrog421|TheresaFrog421]] ([[User talk:TheresaFrog421|talk]]) 19:34, 28 June 2026 (UTC)
: Understood. I am very busy irl for the moment but I should e free tomorrow and I'll get to it, as well as finding the files of the latest exedra update. ~ [[User:Sweet Beanie|Sweet Beanie]] ([[User talk:Sweet Beanie|talk]]) 15:31, 30 June 2026 (UTC)
: So to make sure I understand correctly, this is the list right? If not just edit it and I'll do it tomorrow. ~ [[User:Sweet Beanie|Sweet Beanie]] ([[User talk:Sweet Beanie|talk]]) 15:57, 30 June 2026 (UTC)
:: Yes that's what we ended up with. - [[User:TheresaFrog421|TheresaFrog421]] ([[User talk:TheresaFrog421|talk]]) 16:02, 30 June 2026 (UTC)
::: Sorry, but I reverted it. You just cut-and-pasted the content from one page to the other, instead of using the Move function (which is available to all users by the way, under "More"). For now I've moved all the Timelines articles to Timeline; you can redo the rest from there when you find the time. ~ [[User:Celtic Minstrel|Celtic Minstrel]] ([[User talk:Celtic Minstrel|talk]]) 23:22, 30 June 2026 (UTC)
:::: Well dont just delete them, there's been changes that are lost and have to be redone now, plus some pages will have to be cut-and-pasted anyway like Magireco/Historical and Magireco/Prelude (cause right now theyre one page, and you cant really move one page to 2). Atleast move some of the pages yourself since you can move them without leaving redirects. - [[User:TheresaFrog421|TheresaFrog421]] ([[User talk:TheresaFrog421|talk]]) 23:50, 30 June 2026 (UTC)
::::: Yeah, some of them couldn't have just been moved, but those that could have been should have been. And nothing has been lost, for the record – if there's something that's really difficult to redo, I can recover it.
::::: Are there any right now that should be moved without leaving redirects? That is, their content will be the same (or mostly the same) but their final name will be different? ~ [[User:Celtic Minstrel|Celtic Minstrel]] ([[User talk:Celtic Minstrel|talk]]) 23:55, 30 June 2026 (UTC)
::::::Im not really sure just how many there are to move? A lot of the ones you already moved still seem to have that issue of "being just copy pasted instead of moved" like [[Timeline/Magia Record Game/Arc 1]] -> [[Timeline/Magia Record/Arc 1]]. Same goes for the individual timeline articles that got later fused into a single Scene 0 article. I just think its too much trouble trying to preserve the history when its so messy. - [[User:TheresaFrog421|TheresaFrog421]] ([[User talk:TheresaFrog421|talk]]) 00:03, 1 July 2026 (UTC)
:::::::It's true that perfectly preserving all the history isn't really feasible, since there's no concept of "merge" or "split" in the wiki's diff system, but we shouldn't actively work against it. ~ [[User:Celtic Minstrel|Celtic Minstrel]] ([[User talk:Celtic Minstrel|talk]]) 00:08, 1 July 2026 (UTC)
::::::::I mean yeah you're right, but this feels like too much, Imo you should just undelete/revert the pages, like yes history is important, it helps to see what person wrote what, but I don't really think its worth this much trouble when a lot of the history will be lost anyway. - [[User:TheresaFrog421|TheresaFrog421]] ([[User talk:TheresaFrog421|talk]]) 00:11, 1 July 2026 (UTC)
:::::::::I deleted all the ones that were requested for deletion, and moved their talk pages to appropriate places. Other than that, I probably won't do anything more today, but I ''will'' look over the diffs of the deleted pages later to make sure nothing crucial was lost. So if you want to hold off on redoing anything that's not a straight and simple copy-paste until I get to that, feel free. ~ [[User:Celtic Minstrel|Celtic Minstrel]] ([[User talk:Celtic Minstrel|talk]]) 00:42, 1 July 2026 (UTC)
:::::::::: Okay, I think you should just undelete the ones that would have to be copy and pasted anyway, those are:

::::::::::* [[Timeline/Magia Record/Prelude]]
::::::::::* [[Timeline/Magia Report]]
::::::::::* [[Timeline/Magia Record/Other]]
::::::::::* [[Timeline/Magia Record/Anime]]
::::::::::* [[Timeline/Magia Exedra/Other]]
::::::::::Each one of these was split off from an article that was big, now I think you should move:
::::::::::* [[Timeline/Miscellaneous]] -> [[Timeline/Original/Other]] OR [[Timeline/Miscellaneous]] -> [[Timeline/Other]] (depending on where you want the history)
::::::::::* [[Timeline/Original]] -> [[Timeline/Original/Historical]] OR leave it like it is and undelete [[Timeline/Original/Historical]] (depending on where you want the history)

::::::::::: Okay, I undeleted the ones you listed. If I understand correctly, the three you've listed as "either move or undelete" are cases where big articles were split in half. Am I right on this point? ~ [[User:Celtic Minstrel|Celtic Minstrel]] ([[User talk:Celtic Minstrel|talk]]) 14:20, 1 July 2026 (UTC)
:::::::::::: Yes, you still have to move Timeline/Original and Timeline/Miscellaneous, idk how it works but if you can, undelete the versions you deleted of [[Timeline/Original]] and [[Timeline/Other]] (after moving). - [[User:TheresaFrog421|TheresaFrog421]] ([[User talk:TheresaFrog421|talk]]) 15:07, 1 July 2026 (UTC)
::::::::::::: That's done. I assume some things need to be deleted from the moved pages… anything else?

:::::::::::::::Done. I can see there are still some differences between the current [[Timeline]] page and the previous revision, so I'll dump that at [[User:Sweet Beanie/Timeline]] since I'm not sure which version is better. As for <s>Timeline/Original</s>, it looks like it's mostly just reordered, but I'll take another look at it.

:::::::::::::::: Other than that, it seems fine. Thank you ~ [[User:Sweet Beanie|Sweet Beanie]] ([[User talk:Sweet Beanie|talk]]) 15:55, 1 July 2026 (UTC)
::::::::::::::::Timeline/Original wasn't the one I was thinking of that seemed reordered. It was Timeline/Original/Other. Timeline/Original was directly undeleted after renaming the previous revision to Timeline/Original/Historical, so it should be exactly the same; and if there's something missing it would be in Historical. ~ [[User:Celtic Minstrel|Celtic Minstrel]] ([[User talk:Celtic Minstrel|talk]]) 15:58, 1 July 2026 (UTC)

::::::::::: Yeah, no. I did everything right for the splits and the content changes, though I'll grant I should have used Move for the simple renames, they'd still be too few. No, most of the pages couldn't have used the MOVE function since they needed to be split, changed and sorted again, reference tables needed to be created, links needed to be fixed, navigation tables, I found a couple of typos, etc. You'd see the information wasn't the exact same if you took the time to look through them. Even through the numbers in the recent changes page, you could see that what was added from one article was different from what was removed from another article. I worked for more than 3 hours yesterday to make sure they were all corrected, now I can't even see what I did since they're entirely deleted. Not to mention the big mess that will need to be fixed now that the Arc 2 reference links are shortened. Was your plan to have me do them again but this time use the move function and have the end result be the exact same, or did you genuinely not look through them? Return my articles to how I left them yesterday. It's absolutely disheartening to see something you did out of pure passion and love for a piece of media to be deleted and then be told to do it again. I wanted the information archived and available for the public so they can understand the franchise better and now it's entirely gone. Return the articles to how I left them yesterday, because I'm not doing this again. I don't even know where I'd find the original files and writing I used anymore and I'm not gonna go look. You could have literally waited a bit, asked, commented them out, or anything other than delete them entirely. Undelete them. Thank you in advance. I'll be back when I see them restored, or at least backed up somewhere where I can access them so I can use that much beloved Move function properly. Have a good day. ~ [[User:Sweet Beanie|Sweet Beanie]] ([[User talk:Sweet Beanie|talk]]) 10:40, 1 July 2026 (UTC)
::::::::::::Okay I did all I could, Im pretty sure the pages look ''almost'' identical to the originals, but obv that cant be 100%. - [[User:TheresaFrog421|TheresaFrog421]] ([[User talk:TheresaFrog421|talk]]) 15:42, 1 July 2026 (UTC)
::::::::::::: I'm confused as to why they couldn't just be restored or backed up somewhere. Celtic has access to them, no? ~ [[User:Sweet Beanie|Sweet Beanie]] ([[User talk:Sweet Beanie|talk]]) 15:50, 1 July 2026 (UTC)

Celtic Minstrel: Avoid topics flowing into each other

What are the chances that this is an early sign of Magia Record planning to shut down? Also, is there any indication yet of whether the new game would have a localized version made available? ~ [[User:Celtic Minstrel|Celtic Minstrel]] ([[User talk:Celtic Minstrel|talk]]) 14:48, 21 April 2024 (UTC)

: As for MagiReco's canning... Hm. MadoMagi has had seven games so far, two of them (Portable and Battle Pentagram) were not long-term ones w/ constantly released content so they're irrelevant here. First there was Mobage in 2011-2012, then Online and Plus, which both ran 2012-2015 (Online was a browser game rather than a mobile game, though), then there was China-only Mobcast in 2016-2018 and now there's only MagiReco, 2017-?. There *have* been periods where more than one MadoMagi game ran before, though the only mobile-mobile pair was Mobcast/MagiReco, which differed by region and one clearly outlived the other by a long shot. I wouldn't say it's impossible, but also nothing is certain. I wouldn't think about EoS too much until it's actually announced.

: As for Exedra's localization, well, no. We know nothing about this game outside of it being for mobile devices and a part of the MadoMagi multiverse. We don't know if it'll be a Holy Quintet/Sextet-only game like Mobage/Online/Plus/Mobcast, or a unique cast game like MagiReco. We don't know if it'll be another 2D visual novel-ish game, or a grand 3D Genshinlike, or something else completely. We don't know if it'll be a gacha or not (but tbh it probably is gonna be a gacha because what else can an anime mobile game be in 2024). We don't know its regions (though the fact the annoucement was only made in Japanese wouldn't give me much hope for day 1 multilingual support). We don't know if it'll be fully voiced or not. Nothing. Maybe we'll have some more facts after the countdown ends. [[User:EPF|EPF]] ([[User talk:EPF|talk]]) 16:34, 21 April 2024 (UTC)

:: Its full(er?) title is '''Magia''' Exedra and it's by f4 too lmao MagiReco is toast. [[User:EPF|EPF]] ([[User talk:EPF|talk]]) 00:09, 22 April 2024 (UTC)

: Now that it's confirmed… what are the chances that the fan translator group manage to finish translating everything before it shuts down? Given that half of arc 2 still isn't done, nor the conclusion of Battle Museum, nor the scene 0 side stories… not to mention quite a few events and magical girl stories. In order to make the videos they've been making until now, they need the game to still be running, right? ~ [[User:Celtic Minstrel|Celtic Minstrel]] ([[User talk:Celtic Minstrel|talk]]) 01:24, 1 June 2024 (UTC)
:: They said they're planning on translating regardless of the shutdown, so there's that at least. Worst-case scenario all the dialogue will be recorded in text-only format, slightly-better scenario they could probably just release edited videos from the normal JP ver., and in the best-case scenario a private fan-server would be launched like [https://www.reddit.com/r/magiarecord/comments/jfrv7i/magia_record_na_private_server_prerelease/ this].

== Unknown Witch ==

I'm currently going through the trailer and adding the different labyrinths shown. I will continue tomorrow, but what witch is this? [[User:Amaterasu|Amaterasu]] ([[User talk:Amaterasu|talk]]) 23:29, 7 July 2024 (UTC)
[[File:UnknownLabyExedra.PNG|thumb]]

I believe it is Zenobia, if you brighten the image, you can see buckets and shovels in the background! [[User:CafeAuBandage|CafeAuBandage]] ([[User talk:CafeAuBandage|talk]]) 00:35, 8 July 2024 (UTC)

== Speculation of Witch Doors in Magia Day 2024 ==

[[File:Tumblr 54639e919851287fdc6544b74cdbb872 fc7d9e38 1280.jpg|thumb|Some doors]]
I am not sure if this is the right place, but judging from the picture uploaded by someone regarding to Witch Doors seen in Magia Day, it depicts 3 unfamiliar doors. The one with the traffic sign could be Gisela's barrier, but the other two aren't actually new witches either. One of these depicts Ulla('s head) and we could finally have a chance to see [[Suleika]] for real since her teased existence more than a decade ago, but what interests me most is the door depicting a hat with cards and a skeleton arm. This could be [[Latria]] - the witch form of [[Kirika Kure]].

However it would be exciting if new Witches do appear. [[User:RaviaVee|RaviaVee]] ([[User talk:RaviaVee|talk]]) 19:12, 29 August 2024 (UTC)

== Corporate merger ==
Apparently Pokelabo will go through a merger with WFS and GREE? I'm not that familiar with corpospeak and I read it with machine translators, but here's the article: https://prtimes.jp/main/html/rd/p/000000390.000021973.html Also looks like Exedra might be planned for Fiscal Year 2025 based off this: https://gamebiz.jp/news/395323 . Can anyone more fluent in Japanese and corpospeak verify if my understanding is correct? [[User:EPF|EPF]] ([[User talk:EPF|talk]]) 11:41, 14 November 2024 (UTC)

: "Fiscal Year 2025"... and they did delay it. Hm. [[User:EPF|EPF]] ([[User talk:EPF|talk]]) 10:53, 20 November 2024 (UTC)

==Magia Et Cetera==
I thought it was just a gag? Like how in MagiRepo they formed an idol group... except they obviously didn't. If it was something "real" they'd announce it on Twitter and not just in the gag comic [[User:EPF|EPF]] ([[User talk:EPF|talk]]) 18:35, 4 December 2024 (UTC)
:Maybe. We'll have to wait and see, I guess. [[User:Amaterasu|Amaterasu]] ([[User talk:Amaterasu|talk]]) 19:05, 4 December 2024 (UTC)

==Multiple release Kioku per character==
Looking at some pre-release hype articles and promos, it seems like some characters are going to have multiple Kioku at launch. What should we do about this? [[User:EPF|EPF]] ([[User talk:EPF|talk]]) 18:36, 14 March 2025 (UTC)
<gallery>
File:GamerNe_Exedra_4.webp|3* Attacker Rika Kioku "梨花のキオク", "Rika no Kioku"
File:GameWith_Exedra_1.png|4* Buffer Rika Kioku "キラ？りビーム" (? is some kanji, but it's too small to read), "Kira ?ri Biimu"
</gallery>

:It could be the case of character rarities simply being different, from doing a deep dive on a bunch of the pre-release material I was able to spot that: 
:- Yuma and Kokoro has both a 3 and 4 star rarity, but not changes in between. 
:- Masara is light element in 3 star rarity but void in 4 star rarity. 
:- Like shown above, Rika is attacker specialty in 3 star rarity but buffer specialty in 4 star rarity. 
:From what I could tell, no other character was shown in other rarities yet. - [[User:MaidenOfHope1702|MaidenOfHope1702]]

:: I mean, I think there are some other relevant gameplay differences, outside of rarity, type and role. 3* Kioku don't seem to have MP bars, plus Masara has different animations for sure: https://videos.files.wordpress.com/fk7BUjdD/madodora-douga2.mp4 compare to https://youtu.be/gw6oOlm2mtw?t=2292 [[User:EPF|EPF]] ([[User talk:EPF|talk]]) 06:43, 15 March 2025 (UTC)

==After Release Timeline==
I just wanted to ask before I add anything, are we doing an after release timeline for exedra? I'd figure since we have a pre timeline we should have an after release timeline of some sort. - [[User:JhasmineWisheart|JhasmineWisheart]] 02:15 PM, 1 April 2025 (CST)
: Oh, this might be a good idea. We never really noted down MagiReco release days, it'd be nice not to repeat this mistake w/ Exedra [[User:EPF|EPF]] ([[User talk:EPF|talk]]) 05:17, 2 April 2025 (UTC)

Celtic Minstrel:

I see you've sprinkled tons of <nowiki> </nowiki> through this article. What's the purpose of that? There's probably a better way. ~ [[User:Celtic Minstrel|Celtic Minstrel]] ([[User talk:Celtic Minstrel|talk]]) 03:55, 5 July 2026 (UTC)
: The Memory Windows keep intersecting with each other. It makes the ones below be more to the left and the text area gets narrower and narrower. Idk if there's a better way to have the windows. ~ [[User:Sweet Beanie|Sweet Beanie]] ([[User talk:Sweet Beanie|talk]]) 05:54, 5 July 2026 (UTC)
::Did you try <nowiki>{{-}}</nowiki>? The other possibility would be to change the image parameters so they're not floated, ie don't add "left" or "right". ~ [[User:Celtic Minstrel|Celtic Minstrel]] ([[User talk:Celtic Minstrel|talk]]) 03:09, 6 July 2026 (UTC)
::: I think it's best with <nowiki>{{-}}</nowiki>. ~ [[User:Sweet Beanie|Sweet Beanie]] ([[User talk:Sweet Beanie|talk]]) 08:20, 6 July 2026 (UTC)
:: I think you can make it work like thumb images (where if theyre touching they force eachother to be below eachother anyway) if you put <code>clear: right;</code> into the div btw. - [[User:TheresaFrog421|TheresaFrog421]] ([[User talk:TheresaFrog421|talk]]) 12:20, 6 July 2026 (UTC)
:::That's pretty much what <nowiki>{{-}}</nowiki> does anyway (well, it uses <code>clear: both;</code> but close enough). ~ [[User:Celtic Minstrel|Celtic Minstrel]] ([[User talk:Celtic Minstrel|talk]]) 02:18, 7 July 2026 (UTC)

==Order of Release==
Can someone help me sort out when these events take place in relation to each other? Like if Memory Window number 4 appeared, then after finishing it, Name's heartphial story released. This also includes the event of Portraits of past and promise, as well as the exedra quests. ~ [[User:Sweet Beanie|Sweet Beanie]] ([[User talk:Sweet Beanie|talk]]) 08:20, 6 July 2026 (UTC)
:Until we know how Exedra Quest ends it should stay separated, and Portraits of the Past and Promise can probably be ordered by when it was released in game? Since the event goes through previous quests and events it already kinda orders itself. About Name's HP I cant really help sorry T-T, I dont really even know how it works, but I tried to look for when you unlock what story and couldnt find it either, at most maybe the [https://exedra.wiki/w/index.php?title=Name/Story/Main/English&diff=prev&oldid=72833 history of those stories on the exedra wiki] could be useful to you. - [[User:TheresaFrog421|TheresaFrog421]] ([[User talk:TheresaFrog421|talk]]) 12:26, 6 July 2026 (UTC)
:: Maybe but I assume Name's attitude and other details will change as she unlocks more aspects of herself, and in that case we can't have the final memory window of all of exedra be listed before Name's first heatphial. Regardless, I think it's good to have the information in hand. ~ [[User:Sweet Beanie|Sweet Beanie]] ([[User talk:Sweet Beanie|talk]]) 19:21, 6 July 2026 (UTC)
:::From the list below it looks like episodes are unlocked with each Puella Pictura Portrait, as they were added with each last quest of a story line, also Madoka Magica has exactly 6 puella picturas and Magia Record has exactly 3. -[[User:TheresaFrog421|TheresaFrog421]] ([[User talk:TheresaFrog421|talk]]) 19:25, 6 July 2026 (UTC)
:::: So how should I order the windows and heartphials? Should the windows come before the heartphials at the start, or should they come after them? Should Oriko also be included? Were the first six unlocked from the start?~ [[User:Sweet Beanie|Sweet Beanie]] ([[User talk:Sweet Beanie|talk]]) 20:03, 6 July 2026 (UTC)
:::: Or do you mean a heartphial is unlocked after one of the major portraits in the Chamber of Light? ~ [[User:Sweet Beanie|Sweet Beanie]] ([[User talk:Sweet Beanie|talk]]) 20:04, 6 July 2026 (UTC)
::::: Yeah that's what I mean and I forgot about Oriko, but its possible that the first 6 include Oriko, and exclude the [[:File:Art 06 00 0004 original.png|Prologue Portrait]]. Since you unlock the HP stories ''after'' completing the windows, the windows should appear before the episodes, so like Rose Garden Witch I ~ Dessert Witch - Episode 1 - Box Witch ~ Mermaid Witch - Episode 2 and so on. - [[User:TheresaFrog421|TheresaFrog421]] ([[User talk:TheresaFrog421|talk]]) 20:09, 6 July 2026 (UTC)
:::::: I organized them successfully. Now they finally make sense, hallelujah. I didn't know what headers to use but since the stories are all named at the start of the rows then it should be good ~ [[User:Sweet Beanie|Sweet Beanie]] ([[User talk:Sweet Beanie|talk]]) 21:34, 6 July 2026 (UTC)
::::::: Given that each Puella Pictura comes with a new episode, and I ''think'' the episodes come in a fixed order, there definitely isn't a well-defined order between the windows and the episodes, at least not once Magia Record or Oriko are unlocked. That's because in several cases there's an entirely separate Puella Pictura for Nightmare, but there's no telling when someone would manage to complete Nightmare (considering it's basically built to be unbeatable unless you're good at minmaxing or are way, way, ''way'', '''''way''''' overlevelled, I think most people probably won't complete all of the Nightmare stages; but there could be a few who complete them much earlier and unlock the heartphial episodes earlier than most). ~ [[User:Celtic Minstrel|Celtic Minstrel]] ([[User talk:Celtic Minstrel|talk]]) 02:18, 7 July 2026 (UTC)

==Familiar vs Minion==
What's the wiki-wide guideline on usage of familiar vs minion? A quick search shows that we use the two words interchangeably. Should we just stick with familiar, since it's in the glossary? [[User:Prima|Prima]] 07:31, 10 March 2011 (UTC)
:Up till now I don't think there has been any guideline. Since the "official" term is familiar (使い魔) and not minion (手下), it would be relevant to stick with "familiar". The problem if we want to revert the existing pages is to skim through all the pages and change it (plus sometimes, "minion" is used to avoid repetition so we can't really use an automated solution either) --[[User:Homerun-chan|Homerun-chan]] 10:34, 10 March 2011 (UTC)

== Puella Magi vs. Magical Girl ==

Let me make my reasoning a bit more clear: The important part of Kyubey's words in episode 8 is "In this country," In other words, the characters are speaking normally: plain, everyday Japanese, which, by extension, would be translated into plain, everyday English subtitles. If we were really supposed to be hearing the more exotic "puella magi" whenever we heard the words "mahō shōjo":
*Kyubey wouldn't have emphasized this in the first place, and it would have been kept vague.
*We would have heard "puella magi" in Engrish (Ratin?), as with Soul Gem and Grief Seed, anyway.
I always preferred magical girl, myself, but I'd admit it was a bit of a toss-up—until now. —[[User:MomoiroKakarichou|MomoiroKakarichou]] 01:04, 25 February 2011 (UCT)
:Eh. It's not like "magical girl" isn't already in the entry. What it's listed under is largely a matter of aesthetics. --[[User:Fallacies|Fallacies]] 01:07, 25 February 2011 (UCT)
::Addendum: There is an argument to be made for the simultaneous correctness of multiple 'possible' interpretations. --[[User:Fallacies|Fallacies]] 04:15, 25 February 2011 (UCT)
:::The title's one thing (Japanese to Latin by the creator's choice), but then there's the actual term used in the dialogue (Japanese to English). I don't think the characters themselves would could be saying either/both at this point.
:::—[[User:MomoiroKakarichou|MomoiroKakarichou]] 03:37, 3 March 2011 (UTC)

Another theory - "Puella Magi" represents the term as coined originally, since Kyubey obviously isn't Japanese :D It may be the term in Kyubey's original language. Your reasoning does make sense in a way, but firstly, "Puella Magi" is in the "official" romanized title, and secondly - well, it's all over there in the wiki. Editing every entry to change "Puella Magi" into "magical girl" would be too much of a burden :D --[[User:KFYatek|KFYatek]] 02:24, 25 February 2011 (UCT)
:If puella magi was the original term, I think it would only strengthen my case here, since both terms would exist side-by-side in-universe (expanding on the Ratin bullet point above).
:I went into the difference with the title above. The title was what actually what kept it either/or for me, but I think this line gets rid of that ambiguity rather handily. I agree that changing it everywhere would be a royal pain, but, well, it wouldn't have to happen overnight or anything. Another thing for the [[Wishlist|"To Do" pile]], I guess.
:—[[User:MomoiroKakarichou|MomoiroKakarichou]] 03:37, 3 March 2011 (UTC)
::Let me put it more directly:
::*The Mahou Shoujo -> Majo Pun does not work in English, given that the term "Magical Girl" does not have anything to do with the term "Witch."
::*Per the above, "Mahou Shoujo" being correct in Japanese does not make "Magical Girl" a proper parallel term / equivalent in English; it doesn't have the same lingual characteristics that make the pun succeed in Japanese. If the term for "Witch" in English were not "Witch," but something like "Magical Woman," I would not be saying this.
::*The only official translation for "Mahou Shoujo" in Roman alphabetization is "Puella Magi." Regardless of whether or not this is proper Latin, it's official.
::*The term "Mahou Shoujo" is intended for consumption by a Japanese audience. No actual officially approved translation of the term '''as it appears in dialogue''' presently exists, and no translation fans provide can be officially correct.
::I really don't understand why you're being so insistent on an unofficial translation like "Magical Girl" being "more" correct than something supplied by the creators. If you must, add this thing as a speculah. It's bad form to make out a pet theory as something resembling an official translation or canon by editing the title of the Glossary term. Further, how exactly does this one line by Kyuubey get rid of the ambiguity? Regardless of how you cut it, we don't know what precisely the creators' intended translation is -- only what they intended for the Japanese. --[[User:Fallacies|Fallacies]] 04:48, 3 March 2011 (UTC)
when you take the first and the last kanji of mahou shoujo you get majo. it´s better to leave it at this
魔(法少)女

Not that argument again... How many times has it been discussed in the threads up till now? Nobody uses Puella Magi in the actual show, the only occurrences being the title (which is the title of the franchise, just like the "(...) Lyrical" in Nanoha's titles) and gg being gg. Anyway, if people insist in thinking gg's right, then why can't we admit that both translations are possible? Why don't we just put "Puella Magi (Magical Girl)" in the glossary entry or something? --[[User:Homerun-chan|Homerun-chan]] 09:39, 3 March 2011 (UTC)
:gg's subs is not only occurence save the title. Shini-tan's scanlation of the manga also uses "Puella Magi" where "mahou shoujo" originally was. But you're right in the point that this discussion is quite meaningless. --[[User:KFYatek|KFYatek]] 12:23, 3 March 2011 (UTC)
::Note that I'm not saying that "Puella Magi" is a more or less correct translation for "Mahou Shoujo" than "Magical Girl" as it appears in dialogue. I'm saying that in the absence of an official translation for the term in dialogue, nobody should be discarding "Puella Magi" as being '''''less correct''''' than "Magical Girl" -- given that it's actually supplied by the creators. Further, the current entry title is {{Nihongo|"Puella Magi"|魔法少女|Mahō shōjo|lit. Magical Girl}}, with the unqualified "Puella Magi" simply being a header used for purposes of neatness and organization in wikicode and layout. Per the above, argument that "Magical Girl" is more correct on the basis of a pun that only works in Japanese doesn't really make a lot of sense to me. Argument for the exclusion of one of the terms from the glossary entry or the superiority of one term over the other doesn't make sense either. This is not a defense of gg's translation. --[[User:Fallacies|Fallacies]] 18:48, 3 March 2011 (UTC)

the soul of the mahou shoujo becomes the witch while the body is left empty (makes sense since the soul is seperated from the body). the fact that the soul gem turns black during the transformation may be because the soul leaves gem

Bringing back this discussion because I would like to clear up a common misconception, and you can base your opinions on that:
"Puella Magi" is not intended to be magical girl; however, "Puella Magi Madoka Magica" does indeed mean "Magical Girl Madoka of the [male] Mage" ("magica" being the correct adjective for "magical"). Being a Latin student, I believe the entire title was supposed to be taken together, "magica" connected to "puella magi", so I really don't think "puella magi" should be cut off from the rest of the title like that. Do what you will with the thought, since I know how much hell it is to change an entire wiki to one term or the other, and at this point I believe it's too late to make any changes. But seeing as we've never seen any "Puella Magi" term without the "Magica" whenever it's used officially, I think one should reconsider the merits of that title. (Unless you want to call it "Puella Magi ________ Magica" every time, and that's just ridiculous.) [[User:Aster Selene|Aster Selene]] 18:27, 23 April 2011 (UTC)
:That's an interesting twist, but it feels contradictory to the official Japanese title, 『魔法少女まどか☆マギカ』 (Mahou Shoujo Madoka☆Magika) - "Madoka Magica" stays there in both version, and 『魔法少女』 (''mahou shoujo'' - magical girl) gets directly substituted by "Puella Magi". That's why "Puella Magi" is used interchangeably with "magical girl", even though the meaning is not the same. As you're a Latin student, I'd like to ask one thing - how would you pluralize "Puella Magi"? If my grammar googling skills are correct, the correct Latin plural would be "Puellae Magorum", but that somehow feels ridiculous. I read many other versions - "Puella Magi", "Puella Magis", "Puellae Magis" and "Puella Magi", ie. using the singular form as plural. What do you think? --[[User:KFYatek|KFYatek]] 18:48, 23 April 2011 (UTC)
:: Coincidentally, should we try to stick with one form over the other in the episode summaries and character pages -- especially since we aren't sure of the plural form for "puella magi" right now? It's just a matter of searching and replacing, nothing difficult. [[User:Momoism|Momoism]] 18:57, 23 April 2011 (UTC)
::: Well, there are a lot of pages to edit. The plural form of "puella magi" should be "Puellae Magi", however (replace the nominative only). "magorum" is only viable if there is more than one mage ("Girls of the Mages" versus "Girls of the Mage"). [[User:Aster Selene|Aster Selene]] 19:11, 23 April 2011 (UTC)
:::: It's been a while, but IIRC we reached to the conclusion that both terms are correct, and we can use both interchangeably. However, while I was a supporter of "Puella Magi", given the pluralizing controversy, I now use "magical girls" everywhere I need to use plural... "Puellae Magi" makes sense, thanks. --[[User:KFYatek|KFYatek]] 19:20, 23 April 2011 (UTC)

Isn't an alternative translation for Puella Magi "Slave of the deceiver"? Given the nature of the show, I think that the title is supposed to be a hint towards the dual nature of the characters, both being the protectors of the world whilst also being tricked into one day becoming the very thing they're fighting. ([[Special:Contributions/31.205.88.25|31.205.88.25]] 01:53, 27 April 2013 (UTC))

== Separating manga from anime references ==

As with the guest example of adding Kazumi reference of Jubey to the glossary, this is what I meant when I said manga references are going to mix in with anime and confuse people who aren't familiar with both. Either we need separate sections or pages for both or people need to keep an eye out and make sure things that are added are clear as to the source. -[[User:Randomanon|randomanon]] 18:21, 17 May 2011 (UTC)
:As per glossary, I believe it's good to be generic and as spoiler-free as possible. Aside from being manga-centric, the mention of Jubey is a spoiler for Kazumi. Mention of the word "Incubator" would be generic, but even more spoilerish (spoiling as far as ep8). I believe I managed to word it in both generic and spoiler-free way in the last edit, but you may disagree. --[[User:KFYatek|kFYatek]] 18:32, 17 May 2011 (UTC)

:Re: KFYatek's comment: it's kind of hard how to word it; the existence of Jubey makes it clear that there are more Incubators, but we shouldn't use the word "Incubator" or mention Jubey to not spoil...
:The problem is not all fans are going to consider what happen in the spin-off manga Kazumi to be canon to the anime. For all we know, Kyubey may be the only incubator in existence in Madoka the anime so even implying there are more out there is speculative as far as the anime is concerned. So that's why it's just best to keep things separate and not revise the anime glossary based on what we learn from the manga. Another example to give you an idea is Oriko's Kyubey that flies. He doesn't in the anime and maybe he can't there and it's just Oriko's creativity on writing that in. I wouldn't want to see that either in the glossary page that currently is dedicated to only the anime, as well as the locations and episodes page. It should all stay canon to the anime in my opinion, and manga sections clearly separated out. Like the character page, where the categories of manga-only characters are in their own sections. -[[User:Randomanon|randomanon]] 18:34, 17 May 2011 (UTC)

== Seriously, why doesn't "Witch" have its own article? ==

== So um, about the spoiler policy... ==

This is a glossary of terms, and the original anime is an ontological mystery. Don't you think anyone visiting this page should expect to receive spoilers for the original anime?

Like, I'm all for spoiler-tagging, for instance, Nemu's involvement in the creation of the Uwasa. That's sort of a big deal that you're supposed to find out as you're reading MagiReco for the first time. But stuff like "Magical girls have their souls moved outside their body as part of the contracting process" and "Magical girls become witches under sufficient emotional duress" are sort of "expected common knowledge" for most of the series, and trying to talk around it just creates awkward blocks of spoilertext for little additional benefit. Hell, a bullet point for "witch form" is included on every single magical girl's page, unspoilered.

Furthermore, knowing what the Law of Cycles is and how it functions is relatively important to MagiReco specifically, so it should probably have an entry here, and said entry should probably not be one giant paragraph of spoilertext, right?

== Separated soul gems? ==

<blockquote>It is unknown what would happen if a Soul Gem separated from its owner's body becomes black in Kamihama City, but it can be guessed that it would either shatter, become a Grief Seed, or hatch into a Witch.</blockquote>

I don't think this is accurate. I'm not aware of any evidence of what would happen if a soul gem separated from the owner's body becomes black ''outside'' of Kamihama, or for that matter any evidence that it's even ''possible'' for a separated soul gem to accumulate impurities. Is there some evidence I've missed? ~ [[User:Celtic Minstrel|Celtic Minstrel]] ([[User talk:Celtic Minstrel|talk]]) 00:00, 3 November 2024 (UTC)

: There's two cases: In Sayaka's Route for the game, her body decays after being not in contact with the gem, but the gem still being within 100 meters. After she sees what she looks like, Oktavia hatches. Since in Kamihama, the curse is pasted on part of the body, it's unknown what would happen if it has several meters of distance between the user and the soul gem. The second case is if the soul gem is further than 100 meters: There was an interview that said that the gem would eventually get impure and hatch a witch. In Kazumi, it was noted that Niko's magic kept the Soul gems isolated and prevented them from becoming polluted. I'll try to see if I can find the interview soon. [[User:Sweet Beanie|Sweet Beanie]] ([[User talk:Sweet Beanie|talk]]) 09:43, 3 November 2024 (UTC)

::Well, I wouldn't consider Portable or random interviews to be canon content, but the detail about the effect of Niko's magic is at least soft evidence that an isolated soul gem is normally expected to eventually turn black. (It doesn't rule out the possibility that it ''wouldn't'' happen and Niko just assumed it would and made unnecessary countermeasures. That's why it's only soft evidence.) But there's also soft evidence that isolated soul gems ''won't'' accumulate impurities, in the form of the Souju twins and their collection. (Of course, maybe they also used some sort of magic to protect those gems.) At least your argument for why the body might be required for the APS to function does make logical sense, though it's clearly speculative. ~ [[User:Celtic Minstrel|Celtic Minstrel]] ([[User talk:Celtic Minstrel|talk]]) 14:58, 4 November 2024 (UTC)

==Bloat==

I think this glossary is starting to get a bit out of hand. It should be dedicated to ''short'' explanations of ''common'' topics. That means two things:

# There should be no subheadings. The sections on [[Magical Girl]], [[Witch]], and [[Timeline]]s in particular should probably be split to separate articles, since they have a ''lot'' of subheadings. (They could maybe remain on this page as well with a brief explanation and a link to the dedicated article, not sure if that's needed though.) I'm not sure what to do with the sections that only have one or two subheadings.
# Some of the headings don't strike me as "common" topics, instead referring to a singular entity. The following sections seem like they don't belong on this page at all:
#*'''The Devil''' – This is just Homura post-rebellion, so all this info can be moved to the dedicated devil page.
#*'''Hyades''' – There is a dedicated page about these now, so this info can be moved there (if indeed there is anything new).
#*'''Irregularity''' – not 100% sure, but the fact that it refers exclusively to Tart suggests to me that it doesn't really belong in the glossary.
#*'''Philosopher's Stone''' – Again, I'm a bit unsure on this one, as there's not much to say about it, but it does refer to a singular entity so it seems like a bad fit for a glossary. I'd be okay with it staying here though, as long as it stays short.
#*'''Automatic Purification System''' – Once again, there is only one of these. It should probably go on a different page. The Kimochi subheading could maybe stay, but I'm not sure if that makes sense.
#*'''Lighthouse Theatre''' – I don't know what this is, but it's looking like it refers to a single entity, so it should probably have its own page, especially since it has several subheadings as well.

~ [[User:Celtic Minstrel|Celtic Minstrel]] ([[User talk:Celtic Minstrel|talk]]) 14:24, 5 December 2024 (UTC)

: Note that many of the subheadings seem okay as entries on this page. They just shouldn't be subheadings, in my opinion. '''Nightmare''' for example could be promoted to a top-level heading. ~ [[User:Celtic Minstrel|Celtic Minstrel]] ([[User talk:Celtic Minstrel|talk]]) 14:29, 5 December 2024 (UTC)

I'll justify a few of these and get started on the changes.
: The Devil: I agree that this can be removed. Maybe this can be changed after the new movie if she's established as a law of the universe like the law of cycles was.
: Hyades: I agree that this can be removed unless there's more artificial humans in the future. Witch Hybrids should be moved to under Witches.
: Irregulars: They're both Tart and things like Homura. Basically anything that Kyubey can't quite explain. I believe that this one should stick around as Kyubey's used the term at least three times for different reasons.
: Philosopher's Stone: Yeah this is a weird one. It seems to be like a thing that is a law of the universe, like a Philosopher's Stone can be created through some process we don't know, but it was already there when I got here and I think it's relatively inoffensive.
: APS: I think the APS deserves its own page, especially with the way it works. The Kimochi subheaing should stay in my opinion.
: Lighthouse: It seems to be a law of the universe according to the teasers, but I'll get to removing it until we get more information to confirm or deny that.
: Nightmares: Nightmares and things like Made in 168 are like familiars in my opinion. They both exist to just purify those in the mindscape labyrinth of Homura and Iroha. If they existed only in Rebellion for Homura, then I'd agree, but since it's been established that girls who are about to become witches can make them (like Homura and Iroha in the anime), I think it's safe to put them as subheadings for Witches.

[[User:Sweet Beanie|Sweet Beanie]] ([[User talk:Sweet Beanie|talk]]) 15:07, 5 December 2024 (UTC)

:: Regarding "irregulars": Your explanation makes sense. The current entry seems like it might be a bit much, but it's still somewhat short so I guess it can stay. (Also, shouldn't Madoka also count as an irregular? Maybe Kyuubey didn't actually use the term for her, but right now she seems to fit the definition.)
:: Regarding the "lighthouse": Anything about that is essentially speculation at this point, but I suspect once Exedra is released it would likely merit its own page.
:: Regarding "nightmares": I did mention that we shouldn't have subheadings in the glossary, right? I don't see an issue with making it a main heading. Making it just a heading on a "Witch" page (and removing it from here entirely) would also be fine though. ~ [[User:Celtic Minstrel|Celtic Minstrel]] ([[User talk:Celtic Minstrel|talk]]) 18:42, 5 December 2024 (UTC)

In case someone else wants to help with that, you can see the last version of the page before I deleted everything [{{fullurl:Glossary|oldid=167222}} here], and you can view the diff that even shows the deleted comments [{{fullurl:Glossary|type=revision&diff=168411&oldid=167222}} here]. ~ [[User:Celtic Minstrel|Celtic Minstrel]] ([[User talk:Celtic Minstrel|talk]]) 22:54, 22 December 2024 (UTC)

: I also ain't sure if we should be keeping entries for all those different series in one place. Sure, all of the PMMM installments take from the 2011 anime, but stuff like evil nuts has little to no chance of being relevant in, say, Magia Record/Exedra Main Story or Walpurgistnacht:Rising, it's more of a self-contained concept limited in scope to Kazumi Magica. Well, with Exedra supposedly having more focus on the other series it might be relevant there, but I doubt it'd cross over into their SuzuMagi section, for instance.

:: I think it would be totally reasonable to delete this page entirely and use a separate page for each of the sections covered here. Many of the sections ''already'' have their own page. ~ [[User:Celtic Minstrel|Celtic Minstrel]] ([[User talk:Celtic Minstrel|talk]]) 02:28, 9 January 2025 (UTC)

::: I support this [[User:EPF|EPF]] ([[User talk:EPF|talk]]) 07:46, 9 January 2025 (UTC)

==Should there be a page specifically for the timelines?==
I mean a page where we can gather the information for all the timelines, not just the ones for the original anime. I'd like to also put the explanations for Magia Record, Scene 0, Different Story, the PSP Game, Mobage, Wraith Arc and especially from INU Curry's twitter regarding Anireco's timeline and where it fits in, as well as other things such as paradoxes and the effects of Time Manipulation that we learned from the Arc 2 finale. [[User:Sweet Beanie|Sweet Beanie]] ([[User talk:Sweet Beanie|talk]]) 20:57, 2 January 2025 (UTC)
: Sounds good to me [[User:EPF|EPF]] ([[User talk:EPF|talk]]) 22:06, 2 January 2025 (UTC)
: I don't mind having a new page, but it sounds like a terrible idea to have a page called [[Timeline]] and a different page called [[Timelines]]. One of them should probably be renamed, but I'm not sure which one. ~ [[User:Celtic Minstrel|Celtic Minstrel]] ([[User talk:Celtic Minstrel|talk]]) 21:19, 3 January 2025 (UTC)

==If factor==
Is it a reoccuring thing, or a mcguffin from a single Tart event (that's never mentioned again)? Same with the Ark of Feelings [[User:EPF|EPF]] ([[User talk:EPF|talk]]) 14:38, 9 January 2026 (UTC)
: I think they should be put in a page for the Philosopher's Stone. Both of them. But idk if the Philosopher's Stone on itself should be here either. It's implied to be important but strictly speaking it only appears in one event. Two if we count Nicholas using his powers. [[User:Sweet Beanie|Sweet Beanie]] ([[User talk:Sweet Beanie|talk]]) 15:40, 9 January 2026 (UTC)
:: Onto its own page it goes, then. It's not reoccurring, I see no reason for it to be on the glossary. [[User:EPF|EPF]] ([[User talk:EPF|talk]]) 15:45, 9 January 2026 (UTC)
::: I think the Philosopher's Stone should at least be in the In-universe topics category. As it seems a bit silly to have Hyades and not this. A while back I made a draft for a page for the Philosopher's Stone. I'll see if I can find it and update the page afterwards. [[User:Sweet Beanie|Sweet Beanie]] ([[User talk:Sweet Beanie|talk]]) 16:08, 9 January 2026 (UTC)
:::: Considering that the Philospher's Stone is something normally associated with Nicholas in the first place, it definitely makes sense to cover it here, given that it appeared in an event. ~ [[User:Celtic Minstrel|Celtic Minstrel]] ([[User talk:Celtic Minstrel|talk]]) 01:13, 10 January 2026 (UTC)

==Reorganizing==
How would we feel about reorganizing/reshuffling the parts of this article? Especially since some of the individual entries relate to something else, like Grief Seeds and Witches.

I suggest this:
# Incubator
# Irregularity
# Karmic Potential
# Law of Cycles
# Magia Record
## Doppel
## Kimochi
# Magic
# Magical Girl
## Soul Gem
# Nightmare
# Philosopher's Stone
# Spirit
# The Universe
# Uwasa
# Witch
## Familiar
## Grief Seed
## Labyrinth
## Witch's Kiss
# Wraith
## Grief Cube

If anyone has any suggestions, like placing Karmic Potential under Magic, or Irregulars under Magical Girl, please let me know. I didn't want to overdo it right away, though certainly I would like to do those examples I mentioned as well.

Also I wanna add more etymological things to the glossary, such as the use of records (book vs music), as well as the '"I" vs. Me' and Us thing seen in Wraith Arc and the Magia Record anime. But I will delve into that after the reorganization gets the green light

~ [[User:Sweet Beanie|Sweet Beanie]] ([[User talk:Sweet Beanie|talk]]) 14:22, 10 May 2026 (UTC)

:Personally, I think it might be best to delete the page entirely – pretty much every entry on the page could just be its own page, even if some cases it's quite a short page. And some of them already have their own page, so why are they still here on the glossary? ~ [[User:Celtic Minstrel|Celtic Minstrel]] ([[User talk:Celtic Minstrel|talk]]) 15:27, 10 May 2026 (UTC)

:Yeah I think it would look better. - [[User:TheresaFrog421|TheresaFrog421]] ([[User talk:TheresaFrog421|talk]]) 14:47, 10 May 2026 (UTC)

:: Okay, now for the next thing I've noticed, which I haven't had a way to talk about, but maybe in glossary it would be worth something.

1. The "Record" thing: The term has been used many times. But I specifically mean differentiating between musical records being active timelines that Ultimate Madoka can view and interact with, while worlds which have ended and have been archived, like at the end of the magia record anime, are static book records. I think this etymology about records, as well as how girls collected by the loc or Iroha also become book records. Idk if the Record entry would be worth including in glossary.

2. I vs Me: This terminology is used in Wraith Arc and the Magia Record Anime. In Magia Record episode 15 when Mitama talks about Doppels, one of the slides says "The me who is not 'I'." Additionally, with the white-dressed Homura in Wraith Arc being labeled as "I" in Magia Exedra, it makes me think the Me is the darkness/Doppel in the soul, while the "I" is the magic. This also ties in to Ui's monologue in the finale which ties with monadism. There she tells Iroha that there's smaller versions of us between every cell, sometimes as magical girls and sometimes as doppels. Basically, I've taken this to mean that the Self, or "Us" is made up of the magic, or the real self, which is the white dressed Homura labeled as "I" in exedra. Then the episode 15 slide that describes the Doppel as "The me who is not 'I'" as the darkness in the soul, it points to the me being the dark part of the self. So to bring it all together as an equation: "Us" = "I" + me. I thought it was worth mentioning somewhere.

~ [[User:Sweet Beanie|Sweet Beanie]] ([[User talk:Sweet Beanie|talk]]) 15:14, 10 May 2026 (UTC)

::: You're right about the Record stuff, but we already have [[Magia Record]] as a page that separates the concepts of "Records". I really like your "Me who is not I" analysis, but the glossary is not really a place for that? I feel like if anywhere it belongs on Magic, maybe in a speculation section, but its not really a theory, so I dont think it needs to be there tbh. And lastly... yeah I agree with Celtic, I don't really like this page. Obviously deleting it now is not a good idea, as we don't have a separate page for [[Magical Girl]], and other stuff rely on this page too. - [[User:TheresaFrog421|TheresaFrog421]] ([[User talk:TheresaFrog421|talk]]) 15:48, 10 May 2026 (UTC)

== Deleting the glossary ==

I've created a few new pages, so everything in the glossary now has either a dedicated page or a section in the parent page (for example, grief cubes are covered on the wraith page). Thus, I think there's no more reason for this to exist, but… I haven't checked in detail if there are things mentioned here that aren't mentioned on the dedicated page for the same topic. Could I ask some other people to look it over as well? (Also, as a side note, I'd like to do the same with the NMG glossary linked from the bottom, but I haven't gotten to it yet.) ~ [[User:Celtic Minstrel|Celtic Minstrel]] ([[User talk:Celtic Minstrel|talk]]) 19:11, 30 May 2026 (UTC)
:[[Magical Girl]] still doesn't have a dedicated page, also I don't think Soul Gems, Familiar and Labyrinth deserve their own pages, they should just be sections of Magical Girl and Witch (maybe Irregularity as a section of Magical Girl too, but idk). - [[User:TheresaFrog421|TheresaFrog421]] ([[User talk:TheresaFrog421|talk]]) 20:52, 30 May 2026 (UTC)
:: I think it's actually reasonable for ''all'' the entries on this page to have their own dedicated page. The main point of my comment, though, is that I want to make sure all the information on the page also exists somewhere else before I delete it. I'll create a page for magical girls. ~ [[User:Celtic Minstrel|Celtic Minstrel]] ([[User talk:Celtic Minstrel|talk]]) 23:16, 30 May 2026 (UTC)
::: I couldn't find anything myself. Also stuff like Grief Seeds don't have their own pages (ignoring the lists page), so I don't see why Soul Gems and Familiars should. - [[User:TheresaFrog421|TheresaFrog421]] ([[User talk:TheresaFrog421|talk]]) 10:58, 31 May 2026 (UTC)
:::: I'm saying I think it would be reasonable if the Grief Seed info were split from the Witch page into its own page, though I don't plan to do it myself. ~ [[User:Celtic Minstrel|Celtic Minstrel]] ([[User talk:Celtic Minstrel|talk]]) 19:28, 31 May 2026 (UTC)
::: Okay I also moved the images from the glossary to their pages. - [[User:TheresaFrog421|TheresaFrog421]] ([[User talk:TheresaFrog421|talk]]) 14:04, 31 May 2026 (UTC)
::: I'd say we hold off on deleting this page until the replacement articles are finished. I'll add to a to-do list. I think the pages for Magical Girl and Familiar are necessary. Especially since there isn't a page for Magical Girls and Familiars aren't Witch-exclusive features. Same for Labyrinths. Additionally, maybe the Spirit article can be moved to somekind of Afterlife page or something, and also use it to clarify that the Law of Cycles and such are salvation for the girls, as well as how the only afterlife mentioned is when Asahi evokes the underworld, and the metaphorical "Tomorrow" mentioned during Last Bird's Hope. ~ [[User:Sweet Beanie|Sweet Beanie]] ([[User talk:Sweet Beanie|talk]]) 17:07, 31 May 2026 (UTC)
:::: Well yes, that's the reason I opened this discussion instead of just deleting it immediately. I don't think "afterlife" is really a thing that's well-defined in the series though, at least pre-rewrite. (Post-rewrite, the Law of Cycles becomes an afterlife for magical girls only, as seen by the return of Sayaka and Nagisa.) I think it's an open question whether Asahi's spirits are actually spirits at all (as the page mentions), so I wouldn't take her mention of an underworld as literal. Note, there's also a reference to an underworld in Liz's ultimate attack, but I wouldn't take that as literal either. ~ [[User:Celtic Minstrel|Celtic Minstrel]] ([[User talk:Celtic Minstrel|talk]]) 19:28, 31 May 2026 (UTC)
:::: Any update on this? Did you add a TODO list somewhere? ~ [[User:Celtic Minstrel|Celtic Minstrel]] ([[User talk:Celtic Minstrel|talk]]) 01:02, 5 June 2026 (UTC)
::::: Actually, I have an idea. Can we have a wiki-wide to-do list and also in it to include things like "files wanted" so we also know what photos to look out for too. ~ [[User:Sweet Beanie|Sweet Beanie]] ([[User talk:Sweet Beanie|talk]]) 10:42, 5 June 2026 (UTC)
:::::: I agree with this idea, it is bound to be messy though... well I still think it's a good idea, just on what page (cause it shouldn't just be in the main namespace). - [[User:TheresaFrog421|TheresaFrog421]] ([[User talk:TheresaFrog421|talk]]) 12:20, 5 June 2026 (UTC)
:::::::There is one at [[Wishlist]], hasn't been updated in awhile though. (It's linked right from the main page.) ~ [[User:Celtic Minstrel|Celtic Minstrel]] ([[User talk:Celtic Minstrel|talk]]) 12:58, 5 June 2026 (UTC)
:::::::: Oh god that page, I completelly forgot about it. I've never interacted with it but I've seen it before, and yeah it deseperately needs updates. I also think the overall format could be made better, like people should sign themself with <nowiki>~~~~</nowiki> to include both the date AND their username when creating a row. Also maybe descriptions for when someone wants to give more details about what they mean. - [[User:TheresaFrog421|TheresaFrog421]] ([[User talk:TheresaFrog421|talk]]) 13:15, 5 June 2026 (UTC)
::::::::: I took the liberty on making changes to the Wishlist page. They also reflect previous discussions we had about restructuring the wiki and how that effort should work out. I figured that since we all wanna work on some stuff, we can see the recent changes to see who is working on an article, so listing each individual contributor is unnecessary for this process. If anyone has any suggestions, we can talk about it on the discussion page for the Wishlist article. ~ [[User:Sweet Beanie|Sweet Beanie]] ([[User talk:Sweet Beanie|talk]]) 17:19, 5 June 2026 (UTC)
:::::::::: I think it has too little details, by descriptions I meant big ones, so the task doesn't sound too ambiguous. I was thinking of making like a "wishlist row" template, and the rows with descriptions would actually be tables, that in the last row have an expand button, that would show the added description. Also I think we should just delete done tasks, or atleast delete ''old'' done tasks. - [[User:TheresaFrog421|TheresaFrog421]] ([[User talk:TheresaFrog421|talk]]) 17:40, 5 June 2026 (UTC)
:::::::::: Okay maybe a template is too much ;-;, just a bigger part of the row for the description should be enough. - [[User:TheresaFrog421|TheresaFrog421]] ([[User talk:TheresaFrog421|talk]]) 17:42, 5 June 2026 (UTC)
::::::::::: Sorry if that was too much/not enough. That's actually a really good idea, especially making a template for rows, or maybe just a template for the furling and unfurling of the description cell. But yeah I saw the chance and I took it so I wouldn't forget. I think wishlist discussions should be moved to the discussion page for the wishlist from now on. ~ [[User:Sweet Beanie|Sweet Beanie]] ([[User talk:Sweet Beanie|talk]]) 17:47, 5 June 2026 (UTC)
Okay, now that we've updated the old wishlist… how about that TODO list for what needs to be done before deleting the glossary? ~ [[User:Celtic Minstrel|Celtic Minstrel]] ([[User talk:Celtic Minstrel|talk]]) 23:42, 5 June 2026 (UTC)
:I'd also like to see it, cause right now I think that as long as everything is migrated, its okay to delete the page. - [[User:TheresaFrog421|TheresaFrog421]] ([[User talk:TheresaFrog421|talk]]) 09:08, 6 June 2026 (UTC)
::So, is there anything that hasn't been migrated yet? ~ [[User:Celtic Minstrel|Celtic Minstrel]] ([[User talk:Celtic Minstrel|talk]]) 03:58, 5 July 2026 (UTC)

== Kuro ==

Just letting you know, but くろ and 黒 are not their last names – both are different ways of writing "kuro" in Japanese, so it's just a difference in spelling. Do you still think it's worth including that information on [[Kuro|this page]]?

:Honestly yeah, I know there's the little description next to their name but if Magireco added the くろ and 黒 as a way of differentiating them, I don't see why the kuro page shouldn't, and it helps me identify them quicker. (Also i got the idea of it being a last name because of [[Kuro (くろ)|Kuro's (くろ)]] etymology section where it calls it that) --[[User:TheresaFrog421|TheresaFrog421]] ([[User talk:TheresaFrog421|talk]]) 10:29, 26 January 2025 (UTC)
::I mean, sure, it is technically their last name. "Kuro" is presumed to be their surname, not their given name.

The only proof are [[Puella Magi Madoka Magica Portable & Mami's Heart-Pounding Tiro Finale Grief Seeds]] and [[Minor Oriko Witches]] still having their content (I "moved" them to [[Madoka Magica Grief Seeds]] and [[Oriko Magica Witches]] respectively) - [[User:TheresaFrog421|TheresaFrog421]] ([[User talk:TheresaFrog421|talk]]) 20:05, 12 April 2025 (UTC)

:Yeah I'm not the one who extracted them out of the files so I can't really find them on my own. I was hoping to get them through EPF's google drive but it seems like theyre not updating it currently so I got them from the Exedra wiki.

== Gallery moves!? ==

Wait, why are all the gallery pages being moved? We already went to the trouble of making Gallery: be a proper namespace. What's the problem with having the galleries in their own namespace? Is there some reason why they absolutely have to be subpages? ~ [[User:Celtic Minstrel|Celtic Minstrel]] ([[User talk:Celtic Minstrel|talk]]) 04:45, 7 July 2025 (UTC)
:At first I saw Amaterasu doing it, and since I was changing [[Template:Navbox Anime Gallery]] I decided to just go with it and start moving them. Tbh I shouldn't bring Amaterasu into this but since they're way longer on this wiki and their changes were just left unquestioned I assumed everyone was okay with them, and I wanted to help ཀ ʖ̯ ཀ. I can still change them back even if it takes time but please while you're here delete the redirects I put in [[:Category:Deletion requests|deletion requests]], they're extremely unnecessary. - [[User:TheresaFrog421|TheresaFrog421]] ([[User talk:TheresaFrog421|talk]]) 12:35, 7 July 2025 (UTC)
::The use of subpages is more efficient, in my view. It allows you to quickly link back to the main page, and I think it's better than simply using "Gallery:", since it also makes it clear that it isn't a new page, simply a part of the page. I probably didn't explain this well, I just woke up. ~ [[User:Amaterasu|Amaterasu]] ([[User talk:Amaterasu|talk]]) 12:42, 7 July 2025 (UTC)

:::Yeah, I agree with gallery subpages too. Another bonus is searchability - you have to preface everything with Gallery: if you wanna search for pages in that namespace, they don't appear otherwise. Which kinda sucks. However I'm also pretty sure we're using some cursed old search extension. [[User:EPF|EPF]] ([[User talk:EPF|talk]]) 17:16, 7 July 2025 (UTC)

::::Though, you could also argue that not appearing in searches is a ''good'' thing. Someone searching is more likely to want the article than the gallery. ~ [[User:Celtic Minstrel|Celtic Minstrel]] ([[User talk:Celtic Minstrel|talk]]) 00:01, 8 July 2025 (UTC)

== CSS ==

Regarding [https://wiki.puella-magi.net/w/index.php?title=Template:Witch_Card&diff=next&oldid=193460 this edit]: I'm not sure what you were going for, but you misspelled "margin-top". It has a hyphen in it, not an underscore. ~ [[User:Celtic Minstrel|Celtic Minstrel]] ([[User talk:Celtic Minstrel|talk]]) 01:27, 11 July 2025 (UTC)
:Tried checking it again and it still doesn't work, on some pages the name box appears on the same position as the witch display but on others (like [[Minor Magia Record Witches and Doppels]]) its a little bit lower, it might be some other part of the code though. - [[User:TheresaFrog421|TheresaFrog421]] ([[User talk:TheresaFrog421|talk]]) 09:32, 11 July 2025 (UTC)

== Tabbers ==

I noticed you're experimenting with the new <nowiki><tabber></nowiki> tag that was recently installed. Please be sure to watch out for pages that link to specific tabs, as the fragment (the part after <code>#</code>) completely changes with the new system. So, just changing a page to use the new tabs instead of the old potentially breaks links silently with no warning at all. ~ [[User:Celtic Minstrel|Celtic Minstrel]] ([[User talk:Celtic Minstrel|talk]]) 04:25, 25 July 2025 (UTC)
:Okay, I'll check if the Iroha edit I made broke any links, for now Im focusing on making empty Exedra Event pages but I'll remember it - thanks! - [[User:TheresaFrog421|TheresaFrog421]] ([[User talk:TheresaFrog421|talk]]) 04:28, 25 July 2025 (UTC)

== Star ==

Why are you changing the star? The memoria cards clearly use eight-pointed stars, not five-pointed stars. That's why I used an eight-pointed star in the category names. ~ [[User:Celtic Minstrel|Celtic Minstrel]] ([[User talk:Celtic Minstrel|talk]])
:On my laptop the star was a blank box (🟎) Idk if Safari doesnt understand that symbol but it just looked broken. - [[User:TheresaFrog421|TheresaFrog421]] ([[User talk:TheresaFrog421|talk]]) 17:01, 13 August 2025 (UTC)
:I checked and it just doesn't work on Safari, even if its made with html (🟎). Ive found ones that work, ✵ and ✴ (there are other eight-pointed stars but only these are rotated correctly), I prefer the first one. - [[User:TheresaFrog421|TheresaFrog421]] ([[User talk:TheresaFrog421|talk]]) 17:20, 13 August 2025 (UTC)
::So basically it's an issue of you don't have a font with that character. Of the two stars you found that ''do'' work though, I think the second is actually more suitable. The first is "eight-pointed pinwheel star", and it's not solid black unlike the other two. ~ [[User:Celtic Minstrel|Celtic Minstrel]] ([[User talk:Celtic Minstrel|talk]]) 22:59, 13 August 2025 (UTC)

== Enemy elements ==

Do you have a specific order that you think the elements should be shown in for the "enemies" section on the memory window pages? ~ [[User:Celtic Minstrel|Celtic Minstrel]] ([[User talk:Celtic Minstrel|talk]]) 18:18, 17 August 2025 (UTC)
:They appear in that order in the suggested element section before a fight and the fight itself. - [[User:TheresaFrog421|TheresaFrog421]] ([[User talk:TheresaFrog421|talk]]) 18:22, 17 August 2025 (UTC)
::So you haven't really checked if the order is always the same then. ~ [[User:Celtic Minstrel|Celtic Minstrel]] ([[User talk:Celtic Minstrel|talk]]) 18:24, 17 August 2025 (UTC)
:::I mean?? I never saw them appear in any other order, so I do just assume that it stays the same. If that's not the case then yeah it should be changed. - [[User:TheresaFrog421|TheresaFrog421]] ([[User talk:TheresaFrog421|talk]]) 18:29, 17 August 2025 (UTC)
::::I looked through them a bit. It looks like the game is always listing them in the same order that they appear in the upgrade/crystalis quest lists. At least, I didn't see any that contradicted that order. ~ [[User:Celtic Minstrel|Celtic Minstrel]] ([[User talk:Celtic Minstrel|talk]]) 18:39, 17 August 2025 (UTC)
:::::Okay that's good, also while you're here what do we do with the Scene 0 enemies? From what I got its a lot of enemies from other quests, but Im worried its gonna be almost too many of them. - [[User:TheresaFrog421|TheresaFrog421]] ([[User talk:TheresaFrog421|talk]]) 18:42, 17 August 2025 (UTC)
::::::I guess the first step would be collating an actual list of the enemies used in Scene 0. Only then can we decide whether it seems like "too many". ~ [[User:Celtic Minstrel|Celtic Minstrel]] ([[User talk:Celtic Minstrel|talk]]) 21:13, 17 August 2025 (UTC)
:::::::I watched someone play the standard version and this is the list, but I'm pretty sure on Battler and Nightmare there are more unique enemies. Also they all have Aqua Forest and Light weaknesses. - [[User:TheresaFrog421|TheresaFrog421]] ([[User talk:TheresaFrog421|talk]]) 21:42, 17 August 2025 (UTC)

== Ponta ==

Thank you! You totally anticipated what I was about to ask for with that gallery edit. ~ [[User:Celtic Minstrel|Celtic Minstrel]] ([[User talk:Celtic Minstrel|talk]]) 19:26, 2 November 2025 (UTC)

==Full Photos==

May I ask where the recent Full photos came from? I really want to see if there's other ones, especially of ones I like :) I'm referring to these (Sayaka Kimono Full 2.png, Sayaka Kimono Full.png, Ren Christmas Full.png, Rika Christmas Full.png, Shizuka First Sunrise Full.png) ~ [[User:Sweet Beanie|Sweet Beanie]] ([[User talk:Sweet Beanie|talk]]) 20:29, 28 February 2026 (UTC)
:The "Event Files" I mention in the upload summaries are specifically in [https://pi.rika.ren/magica/resource/image_native/effect/story/ this folder of the Magireco File Archive]. Sadly, there's not a lot of these full renders. - [[User:TheresaFrog421|TheresaFrog421]] ([[User talk:TheresaFrog421|talk]]) 20:46, 28 February 2026 (UTC)
:: Thank you.. (╥﹏╥) ~ [[User:Sweet Beanie|Sweet Beanie]] ([[User talk:Sweet Beanie|talk]]) 06:50, 1 March 2026 (UTC)

== Templates category ==

Is there any actual point in [[:Category:Templates]]? If you need a list of all templates on the wiki, [[Special:AllPages]] is clearly better (no need to manually categorize them all). Other template categories are fine, but I don't see the point of that one. (Maybe there ''is'' a point I'm missing? I don't know.) ~ [[User:Celtic Minstrel|Celtic Minstrel]] ([[User talk:Celtic Minstrel|talk]]) 02:36, 7 March 2026 (UTC)
: Yeah its not ''that'' needed, but I do think it's a bit nicer than [[Special:AllPages]] just because of how Category pages look. I don't see it as redundant, just a tiny bit better alternative (Even if it is kinda annoying to categorize them manually). - [[User:TheresaFrog421|TheresaFrog421]] ([[User talk:TheresaFrog421|talk]]) 12:53, 7 March 2026 (UTC)

== Edit Summary ==

It would help a lot if you remembered to fill in the edit summary when you edit. We wouldn't have had to have the recent double revert if the original edi summary had explained why you removed that link, for example. ~ [[User:Celtic Minstrel|Celtic Minstrel]] ([[User talk:Celtic Minstrel|talk]]) 01:33, 24 June 2026 (UTC)
:Yeah I sometimes just think its obvious enough what the edit is for, sorry. Then again please check what the edit actually did before reverting it, cause it was pretty obvious that it linked to the wrong image. - [[User:TheresaFrog421|TheresaFrog421]] ([[User talk:TheresaFrog421|talk]]) 06:02, 24 June 2026 (UTC)
::I did. The two images were similar enough that linking them was plausible, so it wasn't as obvious as you thought. ~ [[User:Celtic Minstrel|Celtic Minstrel]] ([[User talk:Celtic Minstrel|talk]]) 12:40, 24 June 2026 (UTC)

== Inline Icon ==

It feels like your use of Inline Icon on the enemy info pages doesn't really fit. It's meant for embedding an icon into the flow of text, but that's not what you're doing there. Is there any reason you can't just drop the icon image in directly like <nowiki>[[Image.png|link=Magia Record Items]]</nowiki>? ~ [[User:Celtic Minstrel|Celtic Minstrel]] ([[User talk:Celtic Minstrel|talk]]) 01:48, 24 June 2026 (UTC)
: Changed. - [[User:TheresaFrog421|TheresaFrog421]] ([[User talk:TheresaFrog421|talk]]) 06:01, 24 June 2026 (UTC)
: Oh yeah, does [[Magia Record Enemy - Symbol Witch Minion IV (Haunting Chairs)|Echo IV]] have any drop items? It seems like it should, but I cant find what it would be. - [[User:TheresaFrog421|TheresaFrog421]] ([[User talk:TheresaFrog421|talk]]) 06:07, 24 June 2026 (UTC)
:: Sorry, I have no idea. ~ [[User:Celtic Minstrel|Celtic Minstrel]] ([[User talk:Celtic Minstrel|talk]]) 12:40, 24 June 2026 (UTC)

== Progress Reports ==
I'm not good with css, or templates, but I was thinking if we could make a template similar to the progress report at the bottom of [[Timeline]]? I was thinking a way to just list the entries as integrated/finished and non-finished and then have the progress bar automatically update. Perhaps even only using parts of them in the articles they belong (like the Timeline for Null only has the progress report for Null) but Timeline has all of them (as well as additional lists for Retellings and Unknown Placement). I can make the lists and fill them in, but I wondered if it would be possible to make that asset as a template that can be edited, so that it can be universal across pages that use it. ~ [[User:Sweet Beanie|Sweet Beanie]] ([[User talk:Sweet Beanie|talk]]) 16:04, 1 July 2026 (UTC)
:What exactly do you mean by "automatically update"? It's a bit vague, and sounds like it could be quite tricky. ~ [[User:Celtic Minstrel|Celtic Minstrel]] ([[User talk:Celtic Minstrel|talk]]) 16:07, 1 July 2026 (UTC)
:: I mean the progress bar automatically updates in accordance to what is finised and what is not finished. (Like if the finished list has three elements and the unfinished has two, the progress bar would automatically just calculate to 60%). To also explain the example with Null that I brought up: the template, when its used on pages, can just be edited to which parts are visible and which aren't. ~ [[User:Sweet Beanie|Sweet Beanie]] ([[User talk:Sweet Beanie|talk]]) 16:10, 1 July 2026 (UTC)

: I think maybe with [[Module:ArrayParameter]] it could be possible? To list something you would have to put it in a new parameter, and im pretty sure Array Parameter can count how many parameters there are (if done right obv). Then just do some math to show how much is done in %. - [[User:TheresaFrog421|TheresaFrog421]] ([[User talk:TheresaFrog421|talk]]) 16:11, 1 July 2026 (UTC)

::So basically you're saying that completion percentage would be based on comparing a "target list" with a "completed list"? It sounds doable, but probably not easy, and likely requires a module to do properly. (Not [[Module:ArrayParameter]], but a dedicated module just for this purpose.) ~ [[User:Celtic Minstrel|Celtic Minstrel]] ([[User talk:Celtic Minstrel|talk]]) 16:15, 1 July 2026 (UTC)

::: It works right now but is kinda annoying when trying to change not done stuff to done (cause you have to change a lot of numbers). I still dont think its worth its own module, but maybe theres some way to make it count the <code>*</code>s in a parameter and then calculate the progress bar with that? - [[User:TheresaFrog421|TheresaFrog421]] ([[User talk:TheresaFrog421|talk]]) 00:26, 3 July 2026 (UTC)

::: You can see my example at [[User:TheresaFrog421/Sandbox#Template]], its messy and looks bad but what counts is that it works. - [[User:TheresaFrog421|TheresaFrog421]] ([[User talk:TheresaFrog421|talk]]) 16:27, 1 July 2026 (UTC)

:::: Okay I improved it to look like it does on [[Timeline]] (not 1:1 but thats not possible). - [[User:TheresaFrog421|TheresaFrog421]] ([[User talk:TheresaFrog421|talk]]) 17:13, 1 July 2026 (UTC)

::::: Oh that's perfect! Can we make it so that it's usable for the files? Or at least for [[Timeline]]? I can then populate each entry for each timeline, as well as the Retellings and Unknown Placement like before. ~ [[User:Sweet Beanie|Sweet Beanie]] ([[User talk:Sweet Beanie|talk]]) 17:48, 1 July 2026 (UTC)

:::::: What do you mean by "files"? The Wishlist? - [[User:TheresaFrog421|TheresaFrog421]] ([[User talk:TheresaFrog421|talk]]) 17:52, 1 July 2026 (UTC)

: I do think it's worth its own module. Then you could write it like this:
<pre>{{Progress
|done1=thing
|done2=thing
|notdone3=thing
|done4=thing
|done5=thing
|notdone6=thing
}}</pre>
: The key point there being that done and not done elements share the same numerical sequence, so marking something done is just a matter of deleting "not". ~ [[User:Celtic Minstrel|Celtic Minstrel]] ([[User talk:Celtic Minstrel|talk]]) 00:51, 3 July 2026 (UTC)

:: That would already be nicer than the current setup but if the module could just count the amount of bulleted point items it would be even easier, it would look like this:
<pre>{{Progress
|done=
* Thing
* Thing
* Thing
|notdone=
* Thing
}}</pre>
:: I'm not sure just how much a module can actually do so.. - [[User:TheresaFrog421|TheresaFrog421]] ([[User talk:TheresaFrog421|talk]]) 00:57, 3 July 2026 (UTC)
:::It can do pretty much anything, so counting the *'s is certainly possible. I'm not too happy with that idea though. If it's expected to ''always'' be a straight bulleted list without any tree structures, then I think it makes more sense for those *'s to be in the template instead of in the page; whereas if there's any tree structures, or any situation where it wouldn't be a bulleted list, then counting the *'s gives the wrong answer. ~ [[User:Celtic Minstrel|Celtic Minstrel]] ([[User talk:Celtic Minstrel|talk]]) 01:38, 3 July 2026 (UTC)
:::: I mean yeah but in both scenarios its a bulleted list, I dont really know what other lists it could be, at most one where #s are used, or a tree list, but in both scenarios those can be easily managed no? I mean the #s can be counted with the *s and for a tree structure, if a <code>:*</code> is used instead of <code>**</code>, it shouldn't change anything. - [[User:TheresaFrog421|TheresaFrog421]] ([[User talk:TheresaFrog421|talk]]) 02:14, 3 July 2026 (UTC)
::::: Still, with your method, the edit to mark something done will show as deleting it from "not done" and adding it to "done", whereas with my method it will show as "changing it from not done to done". It might not make much difference if only one or two are marked done, but if you mark several done all at once I think it would look messier with your method. ~ [[User:Celtic Minstrel|Celtic Minstrel]] ([[User talk:Celtic Minstrel|talk]]) 22:51, 3 July 2026 (UTC)

== Enemies ==

I added the enemy list for Please Yuna-san, but I ran into one issue. Sakuya, Ranka, Ao, and Hikaru appear as regular enemies in Waves 1–4 of the Hundred Evils Challenge stage, but they also appear as bosses in Wave 5. In this case, should they be split into separate Boss and non-Boss entries? - [[User:Hilbert88|Hilbert88]] ([[User talk:Hilbert88|talk]]) 20:24, 3 July 2026 (UTC)
: Yeah then both should be listed. Also do you have a good source of what enemies appear in what events? I [[User:TheresaFrog421#Enemies to confirm|have a whole list of pages that have missing enemies]] and I predict it will only get bigger. - [[User:TheresaFrog421|TheresaFrog421]] ([[User talk:TheresaFrog421|talk]]) 20:28, 3 July 2026 (UTC)
:: [https://magireco.moe/] should have information for most Challenge, EX Challenge, and Hundred Evils Challenge stages. However, the site is in Chinese, so it may take some time to translate the information. Also, it seems that the site is no longer being actively maintained, so it may be unstable and sometimes inaccessible. - [[User:Hilbert88|Hilbert88]] ([[User talk:Hilbert88|talk]]) 20:49, 3 July 2026 (UTC)
:: Also, it seems that the Magical Halloween Theater event was held in a PvP format at the time, so the event itself does not have any enemies. -[[User:Hilbert88|Hilbert88]] ([[User talk:Hilbert88|talk]]) 21:04, 3 July 2026 (UTC)

== Date Field? ==
Would it be possible to add a field for the date a theory was added? Given that this is among the first time we've been able to speculate *before* a new release, it might be useful to keep things organised. (thinking for the Kaiten Speculation page specifically, but I'm not MediaWiki-fu'd enough for this.)

Timeline/Magia Record/Arc 2

2026-07-01T21:46:26Z

Celtic Minstrel: Fix link

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

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

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

''Following the events of Magia Record is [[Timeline/Magia Exedra]].''

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

'''First Day:'''
* After class, Kagome reflects on her inability to act on her resolve to help Magical Girls. She thinks of Iroha and finally feels ready to take action on her own and spread the word of their existence.<ref name='a2prologue'>Shown in [[Magia Record Main Story Arc 2 Prologue|Arc 2 Prologue]]</ref>
[[File:103101 kimochi encount.jpg|thumb]]

* Ui alerts the rest of the Mikazuki team to a strange Labyrinth. They encounter an entity that somehow uses the defeated [[Uwasa of the Friendship Ending Staircase]], but the entity itself is neither a Witch nor a known Uwasa. The entity proves to be exceptionally powerful, and during the battle, it targets the Magical Girls' Soul Gems. Tsuruno and Sana are injured defending each other, but Iroha, Yachiyo, Ui, and Felicia manage to defeat it together.<ref name='a2prologue'/>
* The entity does not leave behind a Grief Seed, but instead, a mysterious, indestructible bracelet attaches itself to Iroha's arm. The bracelet also resists all attempts to remove it and emits strong magic. Yachiyo suggests gathering information from their contacts and Ui and Lil' Kyubey speculate the object wants to go somewhere.<ref name='a2prologue'/>
* During this time, Kagome, now aware of the Magical Girl system, writes to document their struggle and bring their hidden sacrifices to light. She seeks to brighten the light of Magical Girls by revealing the truth of their fate.<ref name='a2prologue'/>

'''Second Day:'''
* The morning after Mikazuki's battle with the entity, Kagome reflects on the information she has gathered about Kamihama's Magical Girls, the Wings of the Magius, and the Automatic Purification System. She documents Kamihama as a special place where Magical Girls are freed from becoming Witches, though this system is fragile.<ref name='a2mc1'>Shown in [[Magia Record Main Story Arc 2 Chapter 1: Forward with the Sound of Shoes|Arc 2, Chapter 1: Forward with the Sound of Shoes]]</ref>
* At Mikazuki Villa, the girls prepare for school. Felicia is anxious about a quiz, and the others have to physically carry her out the door.<ref name='a2mc1'/>
* Later that day at school, during English class, Iroha is distracted, worrying about the long-term consequences of the Automatic Purification System, specifically the depletion of Grief Seeds and the potential release of Doppels. Her distraction causes her to give an incorrect answer in class.<ref name='a2mc1'/>
* During lunch, Iroha shows the mysterious object attached to her arm to Momoko, Rena, and Kaede, who have no knowledge of Witches leaving such objects. Iroha explains the entity they fought used the Uwasa of the Friendship Ending Staircase as Familiars and felt different from both Witches and Uwasa. Momoko suggests Iroha bring the matter to the regional leaders' meeting scheduled for that day to see if similar incidents occurred in other wards.<ref name='a2mc1'/>
* Touka, Nemu, and Mifuyu discuss the difficulties of expanding the Purification System. They conclude that expanding the system beyond Kamihama is currently impossible, as they do not even understand its base of operations within the city. The Eternal Sakura returns and reports that a Kamihama Magia Union meeting is occurring, which will include Iroha and Ui. She urges Touka and Nemu to attend, but they refuse, stating they have prior obligations to help Mifuyu study.<ref name='a2mc1'/>
* At a playground, Kako, Ayame, and Felicia play together and Felicia mentions she must leave to attend a Kamihama Magia Union meeting. Kako and Ayame reveal that their respective teams have policies against joining the Union, and Felicia reassures them that they can still cooperate and share information when needed.<ref name='a2ac1'>Shown in [[Magia Record Another Story Arc 2 Chapter 1: Choose For Yourself, Without Being Overwhelmed|Arc 2, Another Story Chapter 1: Choose For Yourself, Without Being Overwhelmed]]</ref>
* During the regional leaders' meeting, Iroha presents a report from Touka on the Automatic Purification System. The report states the system continues to function but its Labyrinth's location remains unknown. Its nature is undefined, as it is a conceptual entity formed from Lil' Kyubey and Ui, making its energy requirements unclear. The report concludes that expansion of the system is currently impossible. Iroha and Ui also confirm they cannot sense the system's location and that Lil' Kyubey also has no information.
* The discussion shifts to the mysterious object on Iroha's arm and they describe the powerful entity they fought, which used Uwasa as Familiars. Ryo, as a former White Feather, states the Wings of the Magius had no knowledge of such a combined entity and notes the object appears clearly in her photographs.
* Kanagi reports that while no one in the Eastern Ward has encountered such a being, there are reports of strange magic being felt. Hinano states she will alert the Magical Girls in the Southern Wards as well and Kanagi agrees to remain vigilant, given the warning about the entity's power.
* The meeting concludes and Kanagi notes the positive change in Kamihama's Magical Girls now working as allies. The group disperses: Hinano and Ryo head south, Ui and Sana go grocery shopping for Mikazuki Villa, and Tsuruno and Felicia return to Banbanzai. Kanagi suggests Iroha have Mitama examine the mysterious bracelet as a Coordinator. Despite concerns that probing its magic could trigger a reaction, Yachiyo agrees, as leaving it unattended is also a risk.
* Later, after Nanaka's team defeat a Witch, they discuss whether to join the Kamihama Magia Union. Akira advocates for joining, while Nanaka and Meiyui oppose the idea, as they distrust the former Magius members. When asked, Kako recalls positive encounters with Union members but ultimately also decides not to participate. Nanaka concludes the discussion, stating it is too early to join and Akira agrees to stop pressing the issue. The meeting ends as the team is approached by a member of Promised Blood.<ref name='a2ac1'/>
* Elsewhere, Hazuki, Konoha, and Ayame are also confronted by a Magical Girl from Promised Blood. The girl confirms the three are from Kamihama and immediately attacks with other assailants. Hazuki, Konoha, and Ayame win the fight and the Promised Blood members retreat, vowing never to forgive the Magical Girls of Kamihama. After the fight, the team notes the attackers specifically targeted their Soul Gems and Hazuki decides to gather information to determine if Magia Union and other local teams are also under attack.<ref name='a2ac1'/>
* Later that evening, as Ui and Sana shop, they sense the magic of an unknown Magical Girl approaching. Nearby, Ryo and Hinano confirm recent eyewitness reports of unfamiliar Magical Girls in the city as well. The unknown Magical Girl passes by the group and heads toward Shinsei Ward. Ryo takes a photograph, but the image is blurry and the individual is unidentifiable. The group expresses concern for Iroha's safety in particular in Shinsei Ward.<ref name='a2mc1'/>
* At Sakae Academy, Ikumi visits Karin, who remains at school late, unwilling to return home because her grandmother worries about her depression over Alina's disappearance. Karin shows Ikumi artwork Alina created, all themed around life, and insists the Alina she knew would not try to destroy the city. Ikumi confirms, based on her and Ryo's accounts, that Alina was one of the three Magius who led the Wings of the Magius and was willing to sacrifice the city. Karin believes Alina stopped coming because she was angry at Karin's lack of artistic improvement and vows to practice until Alina returns, but Ikumi tells her that people have more than one side.<ref name='a2mc1'/>
* That night, Kanagi senses the magic of a mysterious Magical Girl but is unable to find her.<ref name='a2mc1'/>

'''Third Day:'''
* The day after the sighting of unknown Magical Girls, Kanagi visits Mitama to discuss the reports of them. Mitama confirms that some of her clients have fragmented memories of such encounters but no concrete sightings. They briefly discuss the political fallout in Chuo Ward, as the East has been handling the cleanup from Eve's rampage and the mayor has been forced to resign. They also bring up the stable state of the Endless Mirrors Labyrinth.<ref name='a2mc1'/>
* The Mikazuki Villa team arrive and Yachiyo confirms there are multiple unknown Magical Girls in Kamihama. They show Ryo's photo as evidence and the group discusses the possibility that these are hostile Magical Girls from outside Kamihama. Mitama attempts to read the magical signatures from Ui's memories but finds no clear information either, so the group agrees to circulate a warning. Mitama then examines the mysterious bracelet on Iroha's arm and confirms it is magically sealed and cannot be removed. Upon probing the jewel, Mitama discovers it contains an unbelievable amount of magic, far beyond a normal Witch's power. As she probes deeper into the magic, Iroha cries out in pain.<ref name='a2mc1'/>
* During the procedure, Iroha has a vision of the "Witch" they defeated, [[Joyful - Sapphire Lips]]. The entity communicates with her, revealing it is not hostile and explains that because Iroha defeated it, it has entrusted its life to her in the form of the bracelet. The entity states the bracelet can only be removed and given to someone Iroha would trust with her own life.<ref name='a2mc1'/>
* Iroha wakes up and tells Mitama and the others about her vision. She believes the bracelet isn’t malicious, but is bound to her through a pact formed during their battle. Tsuruno suggests returning to the original battle site to look for clues, and Yachiyo agrees, warning that harmless doesn’t mean safe. Iroha, Ui, and the others head there. After they leave, Mitama recalls how Iroha’s recovered memories once triggered major events in Kamihama, giving her a strong sense of déjà vu.<ref name='a2mc1'/>
* The group searches the area for magical traces but finds nothing. Sana and Ui sense the same magical signature as the day before, then encounter a group of unfamiliar Magical Girls. The newcomers say they want the massive energy once present there, as well as the lives of Kamihama’s Magical Girls. They reveal they’re from Futatsugi City and resent Kamihama for the deaths of their comrades.<ref name='a2mc1'/>
* A battle breaks out, and the Futatsugi Magical Girls prove to be very powerful. Their leader, [[Yuna Kureha]], and her subordinate, [[Hikaru Kirari]], demand Iroha’s bracelet, calling it revenge for their fallen allies. Felicia is badly injured, and Ui leaves to get help. She soon returns with Momoko, Rena, and Kaede, forcing the Futatsugi group to retreat. Before leaving, Yuna and Hikaru name themselves and vow to reclaim what was “forged in their blood.”<ref name='a2mc1'/>
* The team brings Felicia to Mitama and asks whether she enhanced the Futatsugi Magical Girls, since their strength rivaled her clients’. Mitama denies knowing them, but reveals she learned her Coordination skills from a teacher, so there may now be other Coordinators in Kamihama.<ref name='a2mc1'/>
* In the Puella Care trailer, Yuna and Hikaru meet with [[Livia Medeiros]], Mitama's previous teacher, who performs a service of Coordination on them and gives them advice to not lose sight of their original goal while investigating Kamihama.<ref name='a2mc1'/>
[[File:103101 pb encount.jpg|thumb]]

* Later that night in Futatsugi, Yuna interrogates and executes a girl from Kamihama who stumbled upon their location and was a member of the organization known as Neo-Magius. Hikaru assists with the disposal of the body, and the group, which also includes [[Juri Oba]] and [[Ao Kasane]], discusses their recent reconnaissance. Yuna reports that the Kamihama Magical Girls appear ignorant of the Promised Blood's motives, and Hikaru confirms they are strong enough to provide a challenge for Juri.<ref name='a2mc1'/>

'''Fourth Day:'''
* During this time, Kagome speaks with Kyubey. She refuses to answer his requests, stating she made a promise with an old scholar and another entity. Her mission is to record and spread the knowledge of Magical Girls to the world.<ref name='a2mc1'/>
* Elsewhere in Kamihama, [[Shizuka Tokime]] becomes trapped in a train station gate, unable to exit because her transit card lacks funds. Her companions, [[Chiharu Hiroe]] and [[Sunao Toki]], attempt to instruct her on how to use the fare adjustment machine, and Chiharu leaves to find a station attendant to help them.<ref name='a2mc1'/>

* Kagome observes growing unrest in Kamihama, noting the arrival of foreign Magical Girls, the mysterious bracelet, and the rising sense of unease across the city.<ref name='a2mc1'/>
* Yachiyo, Tsukuyo, and Tsukasa visit Mifuyu to check on her. While there, Yachiyo and Mifuyu discuss the increase in hostile Magical Girls from outside Kamihama and Iroha’s bracelet. Mifuyu suggests having Touka and Nemu examine it.<ref name='a2mc1'/>
* Meanwhile, Promised Blood, led by Yuna, Juri, Ao, and Hikaru, interrogates a captured Kamihama Magical Girl to gather information. Frustrated by the resilience of the city’s Magical Girls, Yuna orders Hikaru to scout Kamihama for targets.<ref name='a2mc1'/>
* Later, while grocery shopping to avoid an impromptu spicy dinner by Tsuruno, Iroha and Ui encounter Shizuka, Chiharu and Sunao struggling to pay at a register. Iroha helps them, and after learning they are new to the city, they offer to show them around and agree to meet again the next day.<ref name='a2mc1'/>
* That evening, Yachiyo asks Iroha to take the bracelet to Touka and Nemu for inspection. Iroha explains she already plans to help Shizuka, Chiharu and Sunao, so Sana agrees to accompany Ui to ensure her safety instead.<ref name='a2mc1'/>

'''Fifth Day:'''
* Ui, Sana, Tsuruno, and Felicia meet up with Shizuka, Sunao, and Chiharu. Tsuruno hears the three needs to get used to crowds fast, so she suggests heading to Kamihama's busiest spot, ya packed city center. Shizuka and Chiharu struggle at first, with Chiharu feeling nauseous from all the people. But after a bit, Shizuka pushes through, and they all enjoy food together. They then head to a clothing district, but Chiharu remains unwell, so they decide to go to a large park in western Sakae Ward, which Sana believes will have few people.<ref name='a2mc1'/>
* Iroha and Yachiyo visit Touka and Nemu to have Iroha's bracelet examined. The analysis requires the use of the Eternal Sakura Uwasa, which in turn requires the presence of Iroha, Touka, Nemu, and Ui together. As Ui is absent, the analysis is postponed, but during the visit, Nemu reveals she created one final, unaccounted-for Rumor during her confrontation with [[Holy Alina]], but she cannot detect it despite its existence being recorded in her book.<ref name='a2mc1'/>
* Elsewhere, Mifuyu meets with Tsukuyo and Tsukasa to discuss that a faction of former Wings of the Magius Feathers has begun mobilizing again, operating secretly at night. Mifuyu is concerned that this faction is acting against them despite sharing the same goal of liberating Magical Girls. They decide to also meet with Kanagi and Mitama to discuss the situation.<ref name='a2mc1'/>
* In an unknown location, Juri had interrogated a captive Neo-Magius Feather and learns that the captive's allies are gathering at a massive radio telescope in the mountains to seek backup. Yuna and the other sisters deduce they are likely meeting with a strategic leader and decide to target this gathering.<ref name='a2mc1'/>
* At Kanagi's cafe, Mifuyu informs Kanagi about the mobilizing Feathers and Kanagi agrees to accompany Mifuyu to meet Mitama, Tsukuyo and Tsukasa after she finishes her shift.<ref name='a2mc1'/>
* At the park, Ui receives a message from Iroha, requesting she come to see the Eternal Sakura. The group discusses Chiharu's nausea in crowds and Chiharu reveals she can sense people's malice, which overwhelms her in dense areas. Tsuruno deduces that the three of them are Magical Girls, which they also confirm. They explain they came to Kamihama from their secluded village and Shizuka expresses relief at finding friendly Magical Girls in the city.<ref name='a2mc1'/>
* Suddenly, the Tokime Clan senses a powerful magical presence they mistake for a Witch. Ui identifies it as the same kind of unknown entity her team fought before and warns them it is a severe threat. Despite the warning, the Tokime Clan insists on confronting it to purify the land of Japan and help Chiharu. Ui reveals she can sense its location and the seven Maical Girls decide to pursue it. They encounter the Uwasa of the Memory Curator and its Familiars along the way, and the Tokime Clan initially fights alone but are overwhelmed, so the others intervene to assist. After a difficult battle, Shizuka delivers the killing blow to the "Witch," [[Obedient - Ruby Navel]].<ref name='a2mc1'/>
* The entity does not drop a Grief Seed and instead, a bracelet appears on Shizuka's wrist, just like it did with Iroha. The Tokime Clan speculates the bracelet, which contains powerful magic, is the object they have been tasked to collect. Tsuruno also connects this to the earlier attack by the Futatsugi girls, who were also seeking these bracelets, but the reason why multiple groups are collecting the bracelets remains unknown to them.<ref name='a2mc1'/>
* Yuna and Promised Blood detect a powerful magic signature in eastern Kamihama, so Yuna and Hikaru plan to defeat the leaders of Kamihama's Magical Girls while the other two sisters are tasked with securing the source of the strong magical power.<ref name='a2mc1'/>
* Elsewhere, Mifuyu, Mitama, and other veteran Magical Girls discuss the resurgence of the Wings of the Magius. Mitama reveals that the new faction's motivation is not just liberation, but "Magical Girl Supremacy," an ideology they inherited from Touka. Mifuyu also fears Touka and Nemu will also be targeted for kidnapping to advance this goal.<ref name='a2mc1'/>
* Iroha and Yachiyo are with Touka and Nemu when members of the new Wings of the Magius, wearing new uniforms, arrive. They declare their intent to fulfill Touka's ideals, which they define as more than just liberation.<ref name='a2mc1'/>
* Meanwhile, the Tokime Clan explains to Ui, Tsuruno, Sana, and Felicia that their goal is not the bracelet itself, but the powerful magic contained within it. They state their objective is to acquire a share of Kamihama's Automatic Purification System for their village and that this information came from Kyubey.<ref name='a2mc1'/>
* Separately, Kagome searches the mountains, as she hears the voices of Magical Girls.<ref name='a2mc1'/>

* The Tokime state that Kyubey told them they could obtain a part of the Automatic Purification System by gathering strong magic in Kamihama. The others are alarmed by Kyubey's involvement and Ui receives a message from Iroha indicating that Touka and Nemu are in danger, prompting the entire group to head to help them.<ref name='a2mc1'/>
* Iroha, Yachiyo, Touka, and Nemu are confronted by the new faction calling themselves the Neo-Magius, who have inherited the ideals of Touka and Nemu. Their goal is to seize the Automatic Purification System, the power of which they sense within Iroha's bracelet, and restrict its use to their followers. Touka and Nemu acknowledge these are their past ideas but the Neo-Magius have distorted them.<ref name='a2mc1'/>
* Juri and Ao are also tracking the strong magical energy signal in the same eastern direction and they observe members of the Neo-Magius. They decide to follow them to the source of the power rather than confront them directly.<ref name='a2mc1'/>
* Elsewhere, Momoko, Rena, and Kaede meet with Tsukuyo and Tsukasa. The Amane sisters report that the Neo-Magius are heading for the radio telescope. They also report detecting numerous magical reactions from Magical Girls not native to Kamihama, who are gathering in the area. The group/>
* Ryo and Ikumi arrive, searching for Karin. Ikumi explains that Karin ran off after learning the new Wings of the Magius tried to recruit her, believing it could be a clue to Alina's whereabouts. Momoko invites Ryo and Ikumi to join their investigation.<ref name='a2mc1'/>
* The Neo-Magius members, [[Shigure Miyabi]] and [[Hagumu Azumi]], attempt to persuade Touka and Nemu to lead their faction, but they refuse again and Nemu also deduces that the pair's true motive is a desire to use their Magical Girl status to escape their own misery and gain self-worth. Iroha tries to empathize with them, but Shigure and Hagumu reject her perspective and attempt to kidnap Touka and Nemu by force.<ref name='a2mc1'/>

* Iroha and Yachiyo give chase through the forest while Sakurako holds off other Neo-Magius members. As Iroha and Yachiyo urge the pair to stand down, Yuna and Hikaru arrive and Yuna reveals they were given the location by a Neo-Magius member they previously captured and killed. Yuna and Hikaru declare their intent to eliminate Touka and Nemu, and to take Iroha's bracelet, even if it requires severing her arm. Faced with this new threat, Shigure and Hagumu resolve to fight alongside Iroha and Yachiyo to protect Touka and Nemu.<ref name='a2mc1'/>
* At the radio telescope, a separate group of Magical Girls, including Juri and Ao enter a Labyrinth containing a powerful Uwasa of the Chelation Land Ferris Wheel. They also encounter a group of Neo-Magius members and Juri's group proposes a temporary truce to defeat the Uwasa, which they believe holds the powerful energy they seek. After a joint battle, the Uwasa is defeated but the Labyrinth remains. Juri's group then turns on the Neo-Magius, revealing they are from Futatsugi City and hold a deep grudge against Kamihama Magical Girls, specifically those carrying on the legacy of the Wings of the Magius.<ref name='a2mc1'/>
* At the same time, the battle between Iroha's group and the Futatsugi blood sisters intensifies. Yuna and Hikaru overpower Iroha, Yachiyo, Shigure, and Hagumu. Yuna prepares to execute Touka and Nemu for their role as the Magius, but reinforcements led by Mifuyu and Kanagi arrive, including Tsuruno, Felicia, Sana, and Ui. Shizuka, Chiharu, and Sunao of the Tokime Clan also arrive and are shocked by the infighting, but Shizuka declares solidarity with her friends in Kamihama.<ref name='a2mc1'/>
[[File:Memoria 1435.jpg|thumb]]

* The battle between the Kamihama and Futatsugi Magical Girls reaches a stalemate and Iroha pleads for an end to the fighting. Hikaru convinces Yuna to stand down and Kanagi uses her magic to read Hikaru's heart, learning the Futatsugi group lost many companions. Yuna reveals the cause of their grudge, that the Wings of the Magius' plan to gather Witches in Kamihama to create Eve caused a Witch famine in Futatsugi City. This in turn led to a violent conflict among Futatsugi's Magical Girls over the scarce Grief Seeds, an event they call the Bloody Tragedy. Yuna states her friends died needlessly because of the Magius' actions and declares that Promised Blood's goal is to seize the Automatic Purification System as a form of atonement from Kamihama.<ref name='a2mc1'/>
* Back inside the Labyrinth, the group of Magical Girls led by Juri and Ao defeat the entity behind the Uwasa, [[Oscillating - Aquamarine Heel]]. They acquire a bracelet from the being, which ties itself to Juri and they decide to pursue another strong magical signal.<ref name='a2mc1'/>
* At the radio telescope, Iroha attempts to reconcile with Yuna. She apologizes for the suffering the Magius caused Futatsugi and asks Yuna to help them expand the Automatic Purification System globally. Yuna rejects the apology and the proposal, stating that Promised Blood now has more reason to seize the system by force.<ref name='a2mc1'/>
* Shizuka intervenes, identifying herself as a Magical Girl from Tokime Village and condemning Yuna's plan for revenge as foolish. She reveals herself as being from Tokime Village in Kirimine Town. She explains her clan has a long-standing tradition of serving and protecting the Land of the Rising Sun as Magical Girls. However, the clan's leadership betrayed them by selling their souls to powerful political figures and concealing the truth that Magical Girls become Witches. To manage this, the village executed Magical Girls before they could Witch out, under the guise of a coming-of-age ritual. With the village leader now gone, the Tokime Clan has reclaimed their settlement and they came to Kamihama after learning from Kyubey about the Automatic Purification System, which they need to prevent their members from becoming Witches. Shizuka states they wish to obtain this power to continue protecting the nation, calling Promised Blood's quest for revenge wasteful.<ref name='a2mc1'/>
* Both Promised Blood and the Neo-Magius reject this proposal. Yuna insists on their path of revenge, while Hagumu reveals their goal is to use the system to create a society where Magical Girls rule at the top of humanity. Iroha resolves to protect the Automatic Purification System by collecting the bracelets, which contain great amounts of energy. She deduces a connection between the bracelets, Ui, and Lil' Kyubey, as they were the first to sense the mysterious power. Touka confirms Iroha's theory, revealing the bracelets are crystallized pieces of Eve, that once had Ui as its core before Lil' Kyubey temporarily replaced it. Nemu classifies these new entities as "[[Kimochi]]," crystals of condensed individual emotions ejected from Eve's body after Lil' Kyubey became the core, as Incubators do not possess emotions.<ref name='a2mc1'/>
* The Kimochi Bracelets contain the original energy of the Automatic Purification System and Touka and Nemu state this energy is the key to expanding the system's range globally, fulfilling the goal of saving all Magical Girls. Yuna and the Futatsugi girls interpret this as a declaration of war, as it directly opposes their goal of destroying the system. Despite Mifuyu's plea for cooperation, Yuna refuses and prepares to leave. Iroha proposes that the leaders of the various factions, those being herself, Yuna, Shizuka, and Shigure, formally consolidate their information on how to control the Automatic Purification System. They agree to have Touka act as an intermediary to pose their questions to Kyubey, who is unable to enter Kamihama City.<ref name='a2mc1'/>
* In a separate location, Karin confronts members of Promised Blood, demanding information about the cloaked Neo-Magius and Alina Gray. Juri becomes hostile upon hearing Alina's name and interrogates Karin, suspecting she has ties to the Magius due to her connection with Alina Gray. Karin, visibly terrified, states she only knows Alina as a former classmate and knows nothing of her as a Magius. The Futatsugi girls determine she is not lying and tell her to leave. Momoko's team arrives to rescue Karin and a battle erupts between the two groups in the forest.<ref name='a2mc1'/>
* Elsewhere, Lavi observes the situation and ponders discussing this with Livia, while Kagome and Aru observe the situation themselves. Additionally, elsewhere Kagome watches the magical lights of the battle from the forest, lamenting the conflict, and she is urged by Aru to follow the main groups.<ref name='a2mc1'/>
* In Touka's lab, members of the factions meet and Iroha, Yuna, Shizuka, and Shigure, representing their respective factions, enter a meeting with Kyubey to formally establish the rules for controlling the Automatic Purification System. Touka establishes a one-way communication link, allowing them to see Kyubey while he cannot see them. He confirms he informed various groups about Kamihama's Automatic Purification System because they had a need for it.<ref name='a2mc1'/>
* Iroha presents the Kimochi Bracelet and asks if its energy can control the system. Kyubey confirms it is theoretically possible, and though he cannot verify the bracelet's nature from outside Kamihama, he endorses Touka's analysis that the bracelets contain the dispersed emotional energy of Eve. He explains that while the Automatic Purification System currently only harvests energy, possessing the physical Kimochi Stones would grant ownership and the ability to reshape the system. He states a single bracelet is insufficient, and that the exact number required is unknown, thus the collection of Kimochi Bracelets is the objective for controlling the system.<ref name='a2mc1'/>
* Yachiyo and Nemu confront Kyubey about his motives and he admits his goal is to instigate conflict between the Magical Girl factions. He explains that the Doppel System, while extending a Magical Girl's life, still generates the phase shift energy he harvests from the transition of hope to despair. By having the girls fight, he can conduct an experiment to see if fewer Magical Girls can produce the same amount of energy over a longer period, as he views individual deaths as inconsequential for the success of his experiment.<ref name='a2mc1'/>
* He explains that his race acts to counteract universal entropy and prevent the heat death of the universe. They discovered that the emotional energy generated when a young girl falls into despair after having a wish granted is an extremely efficient energy source. Magical Girls are specifically cultivated to produce this energy upon their transformation into Witches.<ref name='a2mc1'/>

[[File:102204 karin blaze2.jpg|thumb]]
* In the forest, the Futatsugi girls decide to retreat from their battle, but as they withdraw, Rena and Kaede pursue them against Momoko's orders. Juri unleashes a powerful sea of fire attack and Karin pushes Kaede out of the way of the attack, being engulfed by the flames herself. Karin survives the attack, but the attack causes her Doppel to manifest, with their and first witnessed emergence of a Doppel shocking the Futatsugi group.<ref name='a2mc1'/>
* At the lab, the conference with Kyubey concludes and Iroha and Yachiyo propose that the factions cooperate to spread the Automatic Purification System worldwide, which would also end Kyubey's experiment. Yuna rejects this offer and she and Hikaru leave, however the Tokime agree to an alliance. Shizuka formally shakes hands with Iroha to seal their partnership. Shigure and Hagumu are non-committal and Nemu advises them to consider cooperation, but they leave to deliberate.<ref name='a2mc1'/>
* Meanwhile, after Karin's Doppel dissipates, she survives but is left weakened. Juri and Ao formally identify themselves as the second and third sisters of Promised Blood. Juri gives Momoko a Grief Seed as an apology, noting she did not intend to kill Karin, and the Promised Blood sisters then retreat.<ref name='a2mc1'/>
* Near the lab, Kagome, who has been secretly observing the conference inside the radio telescope, hears Iroha declare the beginning of their fight. As Iroha's group prepares to leave, Nemu confronts Kagome, having detected her presence. Kagome reveals she is compiling a record about Magical Girls to help the world understand them and she uses Aru to explain that Kagome herself began this project after being saved by Iroha and subsequently meeting a kindly man knowledgeable about Magical Girls.<ref name='a2mc1'/>
* Nemu identifies Kagome as the host for the last Uwasa she created, the "[[Uwasa of the Wind Evangelist]]." Nemu explains she created this Uwasa to spread public awareness of Magical Girls, an act that cost her the use of her legs during the final battle. The Uwasa's magical signature is so weak that only Nemu and the Eternal Sakura had sensed its continued existence. Kanagi suggests they continue the conversation while escorting Kagome home and, as the group departs, Touka expresses suspicion about the identity of the "kindly man" who inspired Kagome.<ref name='a2mc1'/>
* Kagome explains how she fused with the Uwasa, "Rii." She describes a moment of despair over her inability to compile records on Magical Girls, after which she heard voices that resonated with her desire to help them and this event led to her fusion with the Wind Evangelist. Nemu theorizes that because she created this Uwasa during her battle with Alina, its creation was unstable, which resulted in a symbiotic relationship where Kagome acts to support Magical Girls and the Uwasa protects her and gathers information. Iroha reassures Kagome that her intentions are good and encourages her to continue her work.<ref name='a2mc1'/>
* Mitama arrives, concerned about the group's whereabouts, and they notify her that they plan to convene all the Magical Girls of Kamihama for a larger discussion. As Mitama and Kanagi prepare to leave, Mitama suddenly reacts to a presence she recognizes. Three new Magical Girls appear: Livia Medeiros, [[Yozuru Sasame]], and [[Sudachi Sawa]]. They introduce themselves as members of "[[Puella Care]]," a group of neutral Coordinators who have been sent to Kamihama by Kyubey after they learned of Mitama's broken neutrality. Livia warns Mitama that aligning with a faction will not fulfill her desires.<ref name='a2mc1'/>
* After Puella Care depart, Kanagi suggests that eliminating the neutral Coordinators could be a path to peace, but Sana doubts it would be so simple. Mitama explains that the Coordinators' neutrality, while sowing conflict, has also saved many Magical Girls and Yachiyo also advises against provoking them.<ref name='a2mc1'/>
* In Promised Blood's base, Juri tells the other leaders of the group that she's acquired a Kimochi Bracelet. Juri demonstrates that it can be transferred if one is willing to offer their life to another, successfully giving hers to Yuna as a sign of their pact as sisters. The group then decides to return to Futatsuki City to report their progress to Janomiya.<ref name='a2mc1'/>
* Within the Tokime Clan, Sunao, Chiharu, and Shizuka discuss their recent findings, having learned that not all Magical Girls share their specific purpose of fighting for Japan. Though they're disheartened by this revelation, they realize their clan's maintained pride is a miracle and that they should work to spread their ideals.<ref name='a2mc1'/>
* Within the Neo-Magius, Shigure and Hagumu witness the mass departure of their members. The remaining members state that weaklings banding together only form a weak crowd and that the group is no longer necessary for strong Magical Girls or those who can live normal lives. Shigure and Hagumu, both social outcasts who found solace only in each other, are left alone and they console each other, deciding to go home to sleep and forget their troubles.<ref name='a2mc1'/>
* That evening at Mikazuki Villa, Tsuruno, Felicia, Yachiyo, and Sana discuss the day's events, feeling manipulated by Kyubey again. In Iroha's room, Ui tells Iroha that she is scared. She has realized that the Kimochi are fragments of Eve and that her connection to Lil' Kyubey allows her to sense them. Downstairs, Yachiyo is on the phone and learns from Momoko that Karin suffered severe burns but is not in mortal danger. Yachiyo decides to regroup everyone to ensure they can protect themselves.<ref name='a2mc1'/>
* Kagome laments that the Magical Girls, despite their shared destiny, are entangled in human conflict due to differing pasts and ideologies. She pleads for the world to know and understand these girls who protect everyone while fighting for their own salvation.<ref name='a2mc1'/>
* In the Satomi Medical Center, Alina states that a collision is unavoidable and that only "we" know the final outcome. She remarks that her "art" has been delivered.<ref name='a2mc1'/> Later, Karin is greeted by Alina in her hospital bed.<ref name='a2mc2'>Shown in [[Magia Record Main Story Arc 2 Chapter 2: Smiles and Fireworks|Arc 2, Chapter 2: Smiles and Fireworks]]</ref>

'''Sixth Day:'''
* Nanaka meets Hazuki at a cafe to share information. Hazuki provides a report from the Union detailing that the city is being targeted by three external groups: Promised Blood, the Tokime Clan, the Neo-Magius, as well as outsider Coordinators. These groups seek to acquire the Automatic Purification System and are searching for powerful energy sources called "Kimochi." Hazuki reveals Promised Blood has already killed one Magical Girl in Kamihama, and their motive is revenge against the former Wings of the Magius, but they target all Kamihama Magical Girls by association. Hazuki confirms her team will not join the Union, believing it makes them a target and Nanaka states that while her team is not joining, it is time to formulate a response to the escalating threat.<ref name='a2ac1'/>
* Akira, Kako, and Ayame discuss the escalating attacks on Union members and Ayame reveals Felicia was injured and Kaede's team was hospitalized. Akira announces her decision to ask Nanaka for permission to join the Union as an individual, not as a team, to act as a bridge between the Union and her own team, with the belief that this is the best way to protect her friends. Ayame, inspired by Akira, resolves to speak with Konoha and Hazuki about her desire to help Felicia, even if she cannot officially join the Union. Akira encourages her, stating that family-like teammates may offer a different solution.<ref name='a2ac1'/>
* Kako feels conflicted about joining the Magia Union, as she does not have a strong personal desire to join and fears she would only be following others. She also doubts her ability to stand against Nanaka's persuasive, logical arguments, but Akira and Ayame reassure Kako that her ongoing deliberation is acceptable, as the situation does not yet require an immediate decision.<ref name='a2ac1'/>
* At [[Walnut's]], Konoha reflects on the threat from Promised Blood and considers leaving Kamihama to protect her sisters. She discusses this with Manaka, who states she would help a friend in danger despite family worries.<ref name='a2ac1'/>
* Meiyui meets with Hinano, the southern leader of Kamihama Magia Union. She explains her team's non-participation is a strategic choice to observe the large, rapidly-formed organization's stability and questions Hinano on how the Union handles external threats, non-members, and potential defectors. Hinano confirms the Union operates on mutual aid and would not abandon non-members in a crisis, though members receive priority. Meiyui concludes that joining the Union may be necessary to gain internal information and mitigate risks if the organization collapses under external pressure. She decides to propose to Nanaka that at least one team member join while the rest maintain a strategic distance.<ref name='a2ac1'/>
* In the evening, Nanaka concludes her meeting with Hazuki and explains her long-held belief that the Union is indeed necessary, however she has chosen to remain an external observer to maintain an objective view, believing that internal members can become complacent and that external support is needed if problems arise from within. Nanaka also reveals that the hostile arrival of outsider Magical Girls has changed the situation and that members of her own team have expressed a desire to join the Union. She informs Hazuki of her team's new decision is indeed to join Kamihama Magia Union as a full team.<ref name='a2ac1'/>

* Hazuki returns home to Konoha and Ayame and, after a meal from Walnut's, Ayame confirms that she will not join the Union but expresses her desire to be able to help Felicia and others if they are in trouble. Konoha agrees and only asks that Ayame promises to consult with her before jumping into any dangerous situations. Konoha also reminds Hazuki not to overwork herself with information gathering and to share her burdens.<ref name='a2ac1'/>

'''Seventh Day:'''
* Nanaka's team meets in an abandoned building to decide their official stance on Kamihama Magia Union. Akira reiterates her desire to join as an individual to act as a bridge and Meiyui states her intent to join to gather internal information and mitigate risks if the Union collapses. Kako herself admits she is still undecided and Nanaka announces the team's new policy: the team itself will not join Kamihama Magia Union, but individual members are now permitted to join if they wish. She sets conditions that members must maintain their independent thought and act in the best interests of the team and their loved ones.<ref name='a2ac1'/>
* Akira and Meiyui arrive at Mikazuki Villa to formally join Kamihama Magia Union and they clarify to Iroha and Yachiyo that they join as individuals, not as representatives of their full team and that Nanaka and Kako still remain outside the Union. Akira relays a message from Nanaka expressing a desire for continued mutual cooperation and Yachiyo and Iroha respond in kind, formally welcoming Akira and Meiyui into the Union.<ref name='a2ac1'/>
* Meanwhile, Kako separately resolves that when she must finally decide, she will choose a path that helps everyone she cares for and allows her to stand alongside them.<ref name='a2ac1'/>

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

'''Supplemental Day 1:'''
* At Mikazuki Villa, Iroha sends a message to invite Shigure and Hagumu to a dinner party to celebrate getting the second Kimochi Stone. Shigure receives the message at the Neo-Magius headquarters. Hagumu, having just left her club activities early due to stress, instead meets with Shigure. While walking outside, they are approached by Juri, who questions them about a rumor she heard from Livia about collaboration between Promised Blood and Eastern Kamihama Magical Girls. They deny knowing anything, and Juri figures the rumors arose from Juri being seen with Shigure and Hagumu, who themselves are Eastern Kamihama Magical Girls.<ref name='a2ac2'>Shown in [[Magia Record Another Story Arc 2 Chapter 2: Kind-hearted Connections|Arc 2, Another Story Chapter 2: Kind-hearted Connections]]</ref>
* Shigure and Hagumu meet with Kanagi at her cafe to discuss this rumor. She is unaware of such an issue, and before long has to return for her shift, so she has them wait outside until she's done. After she's out, Kanagi decides to take them to visit several Eastern Magical Girls themselves. They visit Himika, then Ryo, then Mito, Seika and Reira, and in the end Chiaki, deciding to leave the others for some other day. Each of the girls they visit are glad Shigure and Hagumu are okay after they'd disappeared once joining the Wings of the Magius.<ref name='a2ac2'/>
* They're surprised the others don't resent Shigure and Hagumu, and Kanagi flicks their foreheads playfully as "payback." She invites them to freely reintegrate and befriend the rest of the Union. Kanagi then gathers other Eastern Magical Girls to organize a "Welcome Home" party for the two, and after discussing the best way among themselves, they decide to hold it in a park.<ref name='a2ac2'/>
* Kanagi organizes everyone into different teams, to gather supplies, food, find a good location, etc. Once the party is fully organized and in progress, Shigure admits to Hagumu that she doesn't want to be part of the Union, nor did she want a party. Shigure and Himika bond over not having one of their parents, and Seika tries to awkwardly befriend Hagumu with a cookie and standup routine. Later, Kanai tells Shigure and Hagumu that the situation for Eastern Magical Girls has changed since the formation of the Magia Union.<ref name='a2ac2'/>

'''Supplemental Day 2:'''
* Juri summons Shigure and Hagumu again to press for information, pretending she knew they went back to Kamihama, so they'd be unable to lie in the event they did go. They explain the East-West conflict has subsided on the side of Magical Girls after the formation of the Union. Telepathically, they converse and agree with each other that they shouldn't tell Juri that the Union is working with another group, the Tokime. Before she leaves, Juri threatens them to not try anything against her or Promised Blood.<ref name='a2ac2'/>
* Shigure and Hagumu discuss their decision and resolve to remain with the Union for the time being. Shigure gets another text from Iroha, inviting them to a dinner party, and they decide to accept her repeated invitations.<ref name='a2ac2'/>

===New Mirrors Ranking Held!===
* Mitama and Meguru prepare for the Mirrors Ranking event while stacking boxes, with Mitama recognizing Meguru by her energetic commentary voice.

** Livia and Yozuru discuss the event, and Yozuru informs Juri's group about the prohibition against cheating. Juri and Ranka express interest in testing their skills against copies, while Hikaru decides to consult Yuna first. Yozuru also informs Hagumu and Shigure, overcoming their reluctance by highlighting Hagumu's Witch-hunting ability and the potential rewards, and the two agree to participate together.<ref name='newmirrors'/>
** Meguru conducts interviews with Kamihama Magia Union members and then the Tokime Clan. Iroha vows to aim for top rank, supported by Yachiyo, while other members share their motivations. When Iroha mentions the Tokime Clan, Meguru immediately sets off to interview them. Chiharu eagerly anticipates meeting other Magical Girls, Shizuka and Sunao see value in observing different combat styles, and Ryoko bursts in declaring her intention to claim the top rank, inspiring the group with her determination.<ref name='newmirrors'/>
* The next day, participants gather for the event. Sudachi communicates with Yozuru through her own speech, and Mitama notes the successful turnout while Meguru delivers hype commentary previewing the tournament's drama.

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

'''First Day:'''
* The Kimochi are now recognized as energy cores scattered from the remains of the Embryo Eve, which possess the same energy needed for the Automatic Purification System. All the factions of Magical Girls discuss between themselves on how to collect them before their enemies.<ref name='a2mc2'/>

'''Second Day:'''
* Felicia interrupts the tension by telling the rest of Mikazuki about the "Decagon Ball Stamp Rally," a public event offering a group ticket to Moo-Moo Farm as a prize. She desperately wants to participate, but Yachiyo refuses due to security concerns for Ui.<ref name='a2mc2'/>
* At Ryushin, Iroha gives the rest of the Union Touka's report about the Kimochi and also tells them what they know about the other factions. They decide they must collect the Kimochi, but they're at an impasse as Ui would be in danger if she's spotted.<ref name='a2mc2'/>
* On the way home, Iroha has the idea to use the Stamp Rally as a coverup to allow Ui to search for he Kimochi. She also wonders if the Tokime, as well as the Neo-Magius would be willing to help. The group decides to have Yachiyo and Tsuruno help Touka and Nemu move their base, and in the end they'll all reconvene at Moo-Moo Farm.<ref name='a2mc2'/>
* At Mitama's Shop, Kanagi gets a call from Hinano, where she's notified about the rally and asking her to help Yachiyo win the tickets to Moo-Moo Farm.<ref name='a2mc2'/>
* Meanwhile, Yuna and Juri briefly return to Futatsugi to recruit new allies and confirm that Witches are reappearing in their home territory now that the Magius are no longer capturing them. They leave Hikaru and Ao in Kamihama to keep watch of their enemies.<ref name='a2mc2'/>
* That night, Kagome gets a message from Yachiyo detailing the plan as well.<ref name='a2mc2'/>

'''Third Day:'''
[[File:102301 dekagonstamp.jpg|thumb]]
* Mikazuki Villa, along with members of the Tokime Clan, Shigure, Hagumu and Kagome, participate in the stamp rally across Kamihama. Ui decides to stay out of the event and just watch from the sidelines instead. Meanwhile, Yachiyo, Tsuruno and Mifuyu help Touka and Nemu move their base of operations.<ref name='a2mc2'/>
* In Futatsugi, Yuna talks to a Magical Girl who just moved to the city. As she agreed to join, Yuna has decided to test her soon. Juri also reports that Witches are indeed returning to the city and the two decide to return to Kamihama.<ref name='a2mc2'/>
* At the rally, Mikazuki collect stamps for Felicia while Hikaru and Ao observe them from a distance atop a building.<ref name='a2mc2'/>
* Meanwhile, Shizuka, Chiharu and Sunao await at the farm themselves, awaiting Iroha's call. Se soon calls them and lets them know they will be there soon when they get a few more stamps.<ref name='a2mc2'/>
* By late afternoon, Hikaru and Ao follow Mikazuki on the train, suspecting the stamp rally is a diversion. The Mikazuki team, aware they are being followed, pretend to be oblivious until the end of the rally. As they meets with the Tokime at Moo-Moo Farm, Ui senses the Kimochi in the nearby Hokuyo mountains and that it has less magic than the previous one.<ref name='a2mc2'/>
* As Hikaru and Ao attempt to leave, Yachiyo, Mifuyu, and Tsuruno ambush them with the intent to capture them. Iroha suddenly gets a call from Momoko, who lets her know that Karin is now allowed visitors in the hospital. After Iroha ends the call, a battle ensues as the teams surround Hikaru and Ao.
[[File:102301 asahisnipe.jpg|thumb]]
* The two are overwhelmed in the battle, but manage to hold their own until they're saved by the arrival of Yuna and Juri. As Promised Blood escape, Shizuka orders Asahi, who's in a hidden location, to intimidate them with her sniper. She shoots and Hikaru manages to block the bullets with her body, and Promised Blood reluctantly retreats.<ref name='a2mc2'/>
* At their Kamihama base, the others help Hikaru pull the bullets out of her, thankful that they're shallow wounds. Yuna comes to the realization that they will need connections in Kamihama after all. Due to this, Juri locates Hagumu and Shigure, who have recently joined the Union but still feel powerless. Juri intimidates and forces them into a battle which she easily wins. Afterwards, she makes them become informants for Promised Blood, demanding their knowledge of Kamihama, specifically the Hokuyo area, in exchange for not harming them.<ref name='a2mc2'/>
* At the Satomi Medical Center, Momoko visits Karin and Alina, who appears to have amnesia. Momoko suspects it is a ruse to avoid responsibility for her past actions, but Alina states she has chosen to remain in the hospital because her "opus," which Karin implies is herself, is there.<ref name='a2mc2'/>
* As the Mikazuki group and the Tokime return home after somewhat narrowing down the Kimochi's location, they learn that Alina is in the hospital and now has amnesia. However, even the Tokime are suspicious of this. Suddenly, Asahi appears and introduces herself to everyone, letting them know she was the one who shot at Promised Blood at Moo-Moo Farm earlier. She offers to help Ui find the Kimochi, since she can see clearly at night, but they refuse, as Ui cannot find the Kimochi in this darkness regardless.<ref name='a2mc2'/>
* With no other options, Shizuka invites the others to have dinner at the Suitoku Temple nearby. The two teams bond together through their shared interests, where Chiharu tells Tsuruno and Felicia about Detective Todoroki, and Sana tells Sunao about Mr. Purrs-a-lot. In the end, they agree to go back looking for the Kimochi the next day after school.<ref name='a2mc2'/>
* At their base, Promised Blood discuss among themselves and decide their best bet is to try and get the Kimochi in the Hokuyo forests. Yuna decides she will use her magic to cause a distraction in Kamihama so they can gain the upper hand.<ref name='a2mc2'/>
* In her room, Kagome decides that besides the Union, she also needs to interview Yuna and her group tomorrow.<ref name='a2mc2'/>

'''Fourth Day:'''
* With intel from the girl in Kamihama, Yuna decides to visit Karin in the hospital. Kagome trails Yuna with Rii's help and suddenly gets a text from Iroha, who tells her she will look for the Kimochi after visiting Karin herself. Yuna approaches Kagome before she can reply and Kagome asks Yuna if she can follow after her to record Promised Blood. Yuna allows Kagome to follow her, but she tells her she won't wait for Kagome to catch up. Meanwhile, outside school, Juri makes Shigure and Hagumu give her a tour of the Hokuyo mountain area.<ref name='a2mc2'/>
* While Mikazuki and other members of the Union visit Karin in the hospital, Hikaru spreads stones on the trains on the north of Kamihama. Yuna has used her unique magic of Target Redirection on ordinary stones imbued with magical energy throughout the night. To Magical Girls sensing the area, it would appear as though a massive army of hundreds of Magical Girls is invading the city.<ref name='a2mc2'/>
* Sakurako examines Alina's head, but her magic returns the same reaction as before, meaning that she can't tell whether Alina is lying or not. They discuss the possibility of stopping Alina from transforming, but Sakurako refuses to hold her accountable if she's really lost her memory. The girls soon depart and Karin promises to try and rehabilitate Alina.<ref name='a2mc2'/>
* Three trains with the imbued stones head for Shinsei-Chuo, Daito Hall and Minaminagi Seaside Park. Promised Blood's plan works, with Tsuruno, Felicia, the Amane sisters, and Hinano all reporting a sudden, overwhelming influx of magical signatures entering Kamihama. The Union and their allies are forced to divert their attention and manpower to these perceived invasion points to defend the city.<ref name='a2mc2'/>
* This diversion leaves Iroha and Yachiyo with minimal support to search for the Hokuyo Kimochi. They decide to continue the search with a small team, and the Tokime Clan in Suitoku Temple also decide to assist in the Kimochi hunt after Shizuka gets a message from Iroha.<ref name='a2mc2'/>
[[File:102302 pb sisters.jpg|thumb]]
* Yuna's diversion is successful and many Union members detect what appears to be a massive invasion train. They converge on Central Ward to investigate, but the "invading Magical Girls" are revealed to be a trick. Hikaru acts as a decoy to keep them occupied, until Yozuru appears and stops the fighting, letting them know that fighting in a Coordinator's area is prohibited.<ref name='a2mc2'/>
* Simultaneously, in the crater left behind by Hotel Fendt Hope in the Hokuyo mountains, Iroha and Shizuka's team is ambushed by Promised Blood. Yuna, Juri, Ao, and their reinforcements, having used information coerced from Shigure and Hagumu, surround them, now also aware of the Kimochi's location. A pursuit ensues through the forest where Shizuka is wounded by Ao.<ref name='a2mc2'/>
* After Kagome briefly stumbles upon Shigure and Hagumu, then leaves, the two decide to deliberately mislead Yuna's forces and provide Iroha's group with a secret escape route, allowing them to flee. Iroha's team successfully escapes the mountains without securing the Kimochi.<ref name='a2mc2'/>
* The team catches their breath after running away from Promised Blood, when Sudachi appears and forcefully carries the injured Shizuka all the way to Puella Care. In Central Ward, while Shizuka gets treatment, the teams converge and report on the day's events.<ref name='a2mc2'/>
[[File:102302 shizuka sleep.jpg|thumb]]
* Promised Blood has scoured and secured the area, but they're still unable to locate its Labyrinth. They realize that the Kimochi they defeated only appeared after Yuna felt powerful emotions. Yuna decides they will simply try again tomorrow and attack the Union some other way. Meanwhile, Yachiyo receives intel from Mifuyu, who deduces that the Kimochi's Labyrinth is located within the ruins of Hotel Fendt Hope, and that all the Kimochi will appear in places previously connected to major Uwasa. Mifuyu proposes a plan to infiltrate the hotel and secure the Kimochi while minimizing direct combat. They will select a team of three to head towards the Kimochi at dawn and suggest a deal for both parties to enter the Labyrinth at once, with whoever defeats the Kimchi being the winner. However, after the negotiations, the team will destroy the stairs in the basement of the chapel, and the Union members will retreat through a hidden passage to trap the Promised Blood members. After Shizuka's attack, the Union decides not to ask the Tokime for help this time.<ref name='a2mc2'/>
* In her home, with Rii's help, Kagome is able to understand that the fight is over and everyone is going home.<ref name='a2mc2'/>
[[File:102601 hime alex meet.jpg|thumb]]
* Likely during this time, Alexandra tries to infiltrate the Neo-Magius as it faced disbandment. She sees Himena in distress on her own, and upon talking notices her incredible tenacity. With the belief that her strong determination could revive the group, Alexandra recruits Himena for the Neo-Magius.<ref name='a2mc5'>Shown in [[Magia Record Main Story Arc 2 Chapter 5: Shaky Ideals in a Hazy Love Song|Arc 2, Chapter 5: Shaky Ideals in a Hazy Love Song]]</ref>

===Chapter 2, Part 5===
These two days take place sometime during the third, fourth, or fifth days of Part 2, sometime after Karin's allowed visitors. The first day can either take place during the third, or fourth day, while the second day can either take place on the fourth or fifth day. These events follow Nayuta and Mikage's journey in Kamihama, which for the most part is separate from the other events.

'''Supplemental Day 1:'''
* [[Nayuta Satomi]] moves into a house prepared by her missing father Tasuke, a folklorist who had been collaborating with her to research and publish a book exposing the truth about Magical Girls to the world. Accompanied by [[Lavi Himuro]], her housekeeper, Nayuta begins her search for her father in Kamihama, a city he indicated was safe for Magical Girls.<ref name='a2mc2'/>
* They get a knock from [[Mikage Yakumo]]. Despite Nayuta's initial reluctance, Mikage insists on helping with the search, sharing a common goal of wanting the world to acknowledge Magical Girls. Nayuta's first lead is her uncle, the director of Satomi Medical Center, so she goes to talk to him with Mikage. Nayuta is reluctant to ask for his help, as he previously would undermine Tasuke's research, so she takes some rest outside. There, her and Mikage encounter Alina as she's painting. They're then interrupted by Rena and Kaede, whose visit to Karin was postponed after sensing the new magical signatures. They mistakenly believe Nayuta and Mikage are hostile reinforcements for Promised Blood and the ensuing confrontation and chase force them to run away.<ref name='a2mc2'/>
* Rena chases them back to where Lavi is waiting for them, but the three manage to escape. At school, Momoko and Tsuruno hear word of this apparent attempt at Alina's life, and so they decide to meet at Banbanzai later to discuss what to do next. Nearby, Sakuya spies on them, and she's confused as Yuna hadn't discussed attacking Alina, and believes Yuna is either hiding something, or someone's using Promised Blood's name.<ref name='a2mc2'/>
[[File:102304 cheap candy shop.jpg|thumb]]
* Having gotten away from Rena, Nayuta decides to instead find veteran Magical Girls Yachiyo Nanami and Mifuyu Azusa, whom her father had interviewed years earlier. Mikage reveals she knows of them and directs Nayuta and Lavi to a candy store in Sankyo Ward, in the western part of the city. After they eat candy together, Lavi goes back to Nayuta's house so she can get dinner ready. However, Nayuta and Mikage encounter a Witch and assist Rena and Kaede in defeating it, hoping to prove their peaceful intentions. After the battle, Rena and Kaede agree to take Nayuta to Mitama's to meet other Union leaders to vet her. However, Mikage panics at the mention of the Coordinator and runs away. Nayuta chases after her, as she says she can't go to the Coordinator, and says she needs to go to the ocean instead.<ref name='a2mc2'/>
* At Banbanzai, the Kamihama Magical Girls discuss the newcomers. Yachiyo and Tsuruno conclude they are not a threat, as they are weak, not coordinated, and targeting Alina would not benefit Promised Blood's primary goal. Yachiyo decides to talk to them, and if anyone sees them to let them know to come to Ryushin.<ref name='a2mc2'/>
* By late afternoon, after Mikage calms down, Nayuta respects the fact that she doesn't want to reveal why she can't meet with the Coordinator. Nayuta is shaken with her experiences in Kamihama, concerned about what Promised Blood is. They're suddenly approached by Ranka and reinforcements of Promised Blood, intending to capture the two for having used their group's name. Ranka's group defeats them, also knocking Mikage unconscious and Nayuta reveals that it was a misunderstanding. She tells them that she's a foreigner and Mikage was simply helping her out. Ranka makes Nayuta believe she will kill Mikage, but she stops at the last second. The two feel a powerful surge of magic, and Ranka decides she will still capture the two regardless.<ref name='a2mc2'/>
* While Sana, Sunao and Kagome return from the Mr. Purrs-a-lot cafe, as Sana needed someone to accompany her, Rii notifies Kagome that there are other Magical Girls nearby. Sana and Sunao depart to find them and successfully drive away Ranka's team. Sana recognizes the two as the Magical Girls they were told about at Banbanzai, and after hearing Nayuta's side of the story, they decide to take the unconscious Mikage to the Coordinator for treatment.<ref name='a2mc2'/>
* Meanwhile, Lavi transforms and fights forces of Promised Blood, declaring they will not misrepresent Promised Blood, nor will she join the conflict at all.<ref name='a2mc2'/>
* At the Coordinator's Shop, with other Union and Tokime members, Mitama is shocked when Sana and Sunao bring Mikage, her sister who she didn't know was even a Magical Girl. Nayuta explains that she only met Mikage recently while hunting a Witch, and the two became friends. She also explains her reasons for being in Kamihama is that her father, Tasuke Satomi, told her the city was safe for Magical Girls, and he has gone missing after his last known location was traced there. She reveals they were collaborating on a book to expose the truth about Magical Girls to the world.<ref name='a2mc2'/>
* Yachiyo, Shizuka, and Kagome all confirm separate encounters with Tasuke, and the conversation reveals that Nayuta is the cousin of Touka. Touka herself also arrives at that moment, and Nayuta slaps her for having mocked her father's research years earlier. Touka apologizes profusely, admitting her past mistake and stating she now believes in her uncle's work. Separately, Iroha regrets having called Touka over to begin with. Nayuta declares she does not forgive Touka but agrees to a ceasefire for the time being. Mitama apologizes if Mikage caused her any trouble, and before Nayuta leaves to go back to her house, she tells Mitama that Mikage is always welcome to come over.<ref name='a2mc2'/>

'''Supplemental Day 2:'''
* Mikage visits Nayuta, telling her to hurry up before they head outside, waving goodbye to Lavi.<ref name='a2mc2'/>
* Separately, Mitama and Kanagi discuss the difficulty of somehow restraining Mikage and keeping the secret of Mitama's own wish.<ref name='a2mc2'/>

'''Fifth Day:'''
* Kagome is woken up early by Rii, as multiple Magical Girls are on the move, and she goes to follow them.<ref name='a2mc2'/>
* Mifuyu and the Amane sisters enter the area to negotiate with Promised Blood. They propose a contest: the Union will reveal the Labyrinth's location, and both sides will then race to defeat the Kimochi inside, with only three members from each team allowed to enter at a time. Promised Blood, represented by Juri, agrees to the terms.<ref name='a2mc2'/>
* As agreed, reinforcements from both sides arrive, balancing their numbers. While Kanagi and Momoko's team wait on standby at the forest, Juri permits them to open the Labyrinth of Fendt Hope. The combined groups proceed into the hotel, with Mifuyu's team guiding Promised Blood through the corridors.<ref name='a2mc2'/>
* Meanwhile, Kagome visits Suitoku Temple and talks to Shizuka, letting her know of the Magical Girls on the move. Shizuka realizes her clan is staying inactive and prompts them to go to Fendt Hope and aid the Union regardless of the Union's wishes. The Tokime Clan take off and also carry Kagome with them.<ref name='a2mc2'/>
* From outside the Labyrinth, the next groups enter, those being Hikaru, Ao, their team, Kanagi and Momoko's team. Now all fourteen Magical Girls navigate Fendthope together. Afterwards, Mikazuki Villa and other Union members arrive outside the entrance of the Labyrinth.<ref name='a2mc2'/>
* The Union team leads Promised Blood to a chapel deep within the Labyrinth, also the designated ambush point. On Mifuyu's signal, the Union members destroy the staircase leading into the chapel, trapping the Promised Blood team inside. However, Promised Blood anticipated this betrayal, and Juri and her team immediately attack, preventing the Union members from fleeing. The trap backfires, leaving both groups confined in the chapel and initiating a direct battle.<ref name='a2mc2'/>
* Shizuka's team joins with Iroha's outside the entrance, where they're fighting Yuna, Sakuya, Ranka and their forces. All of them enter the Labyrinth, including Kagome, and the Union team notices that Mifuyu's team isn't coming to help and they realize something must've gone wrong.<ref name='a2mc2'/>
[[File:102303 turquoise kill2.jpg|thumb]]
* Three battles occur simultaneously. Iroha's team fights the Uwasa of the Queen Bear outside of Hotel Fendt Hope, part of the Union led by Hinano and the Tokime fight Yuna and other members of Promised Blood inside of the hotel, and Mifuyu's and Momoko's teams fight Juri and Ao's teams in the chapel. After the Uwasa is defeated, the [[Falling - Turquoise Ear]] Kimochi appears. Shizuka and the Tokime Clan join the battle and she, alongside Felicia defeat it, however the Kimochi Stone is bonded to Felicia. With the Kimochi defeated, all groups decide to retreat from the area and fight again another day.<ref name='a2mc2'/>
* At sunset in Suitoku Temple, Shizuka is fully healed, even showing it off to Kagome. Shizuka, Chiharu and Sunao were invited to eat dinner at Mikazuki as a celebration for Shizuka's recovery. Shigure and Hagumu were also invited.<ref name='a2mc2'/>
* At their base, Yuna realizes they cannot rely on the emotional triggers to draw the Kimochi out, so they won't be able to locate next Kimochi without Ui. However, she reveals to her sisters and Hikaru that she has a plan to force the Union's hand.<ref name='a2mc2'/>
[[File:102303 kidnapped ui.jpg|thumb]]
* While shopping for the dinner, Iroha, Yachiyo, Tsuruno, Ui, Shigure, and Hagumu hear cries for help from an alley. They find an unknown Magical Girl, [[Urara Yume]], being harassed by members of Promised Blood. The Union members drive the attackers away and during the confrontation, Tsuruno instructs Shigure and Hagumu to stay back and protect Ui and the rescued girl. However, after the fight, they discover the rescued girl has vanished and Ui has been kidnapped. Shigure and Hagumu confess they were coerced by Promised Blood to act as accomplices, and the "attack" was a ruse to separate Ui from them.<ref name='a2mc2'/>
* Afterwards, as Shigure and Hagumu are alone, the Magical Girl [[Himena Aika]] appears, mocking them for their weakness, and offers to bring them to the top.<ref name='a2mc2'/>
* That night, Livia talks with Kyubey and lets him know about Ui being kidnapped, as well as what all the factions are up to.<ref name='a2mc3'>Shown in [[Magia Record Main Story Arc 2 Chapter 3: Dawn Within the Perpetual Night|Arc 2, Chapter 3: Dawn Within the Perpetual Night]]</ref>
* Ui wakes up in an office space in Futatsugi and Promised Blood gives her a map, asking her to indicate all the locations of the Kimochi she discovered during the stamp rally. They give her some time alone to consider and due to the Union's actions, they surmise that they don't know the locations of the Kimochi either. To mitigate risks, Hikaru is sent to conceal traces of them and their base.<ref name='a2mc3'/>
* Meanwhile, Shizuka cannot shake the bad feeling left by Yuna's words, which cut deep with their accusation that she is an empty husk who cannot exist without others. Sunao notices something is bothering her and suggests she take a break, worried about the pressure of traveling from the remote mountains to a bustling city. When Shizuka protests they need to help Iroha rescue Ui, Sunao points out that if they are too supportive of Iroha, some branch families will protest. Chiharu arrives with a call from her mother asking them to return to the village, and Shizuka agrees they cannot ignore their mothers. She decides they should return, also giving the other girls a rest, and Chiharu suggests inviting anyone interested in Tokime Village to come along.<ref name='a2mc3'/>
* Kagome learns that Ui was abducted by Promised Blood, and elsewhere, Promised Blood members discuss their situation, with Ao worried about incriminating items and Hikaru assigned to reconnaissance. Back at Mikazuki Villa, Iroha wakes early, unable to sleep from worry, as the group prepares to search for Ui without any leads.<ref name='a2mc3'/>

'''Sixth Day:'''
* The next day, the Union gathers at the Ryushinkan dojo to discuss the situation. Kanagi reports that Promised Blood has not made contact, and Hinano warns they might harm Ui to extract information, though Tsuruno notes that Ui is the only one who can sense the Kimochi without conditions. Felicia grows impatient, but Sana points out they do not know where the base is. Touka and Nemu arrive with a GPS transmitter, proposing they plant it on a Promised Blood member to track their location. Kanagi agrees to handle this in the east with the Amane twins. After the meeting, Kagome confides in Ryo about her struggles as a neutral journalist, and Ryo reassures her that her perspective is valuable.<ref name='a2mc3'/>
* Meanwhile, in Tokime Village, Shizuka, Chiharu and Sunao are welcomed by their mothers. Chiharu appreciates the lack of malice, while Shizuka is moved to tears by the unchanged atmosphere. They learn the village now runs an inn and sells local products after losing their income.<ref name='a2mc3'/>
* Kanagi meets with Tsukasa and Tsukuyo at the old railway yard, suspecting it might be Promised Blood's base. They encounter Hikaru, who claims she is also investigating them. Kanagi attempts to read her mind to find Ui's location while the twins try to immobilize her, but Hikaru's subordinates interfere and she escapes. However, Kanagi successfully plants the transmitter on her. They search the railway yard but find nothing incriminating, though Kanagi receives word that other Union members also succeeded in placing their transmitters.<ref name='a2mc3'/>
* Back in Tokime Village, Shizuka confides that she cannot shake Yuna's words, feeling a fundamental gap between them despite sharing the same pride. Chiharu and Sunao reassure her that their shared feelings matter more. When Shizuka admits her feelings toward Yuna are confusing, Chiharu's mother suggests she might actually hate Yuna, something Shizuka has never experienced before.<ref name='a2mc3'/>
* At Mikazuki Villa, Touka begins analyzing the tracking data while everyone eats dinner. The signals show Promised Blood members moving north, contradicting their theory that the base is in the east. They watch as the dots leave Kamihama entirely before the signals are cut off. Touka reveals her surprise was hacking their phones to steal geographical data, and she will use that to pinpoint their location.<ref name='a2mc3'/>
* Meanwhile, at the Promised Blood base, Hikaru discovers the transmitter on her clothing and destroys it, but not before the data is captured. Urara brings Ui instant curry and urges her to cooperate, but Ui refuses, saying she would rather die than sacrifice everyone else. Yuna observes that Ui is prepared to die, making threats useless, and decides they need to create an opening instead. She returns Ui's phone with a dead battery, noting the wallpaper photo of her sister, and tells her no one will ever find her there, subtly suggesting she has one way to communicate with the outside world.<ref name='a2mc3'/>
* Elsewhere, the girls in Tokime Village are informed that money has been stolen from the communal safe, but they are told to focus on researching Diviners instead of investigating. They visit the site where Shizuka and Chiharu became Magical Girls, and Shizuka explains how the village chief decides wishes in advance for the sake of Japan, a tradition not all families follow.<ref name='a2mc3'/>
[[File:102401 littlekyubey.jpg|thumb]]
* That night, Ui sends Lil' Kyubey with a map of the Kimochi locations and a letter explaining she is likely in Futatsugi City. However, Yuna anticipated this and intercepts Lil' Kyubey, taking the map but leaving the letter, hoping it will lure the Union to Futatsugi where they will have the home-field advantage. Lil' Kyubey escapes with the letter.<ref name='a2mc3'/>
* In the Tokime Village, Shizuka wanders alone, contemplating how different she is from others. She concludes that as head of the main family, she must lead the clan, but they will never be fully compatible with the Union because her duty to the Tokime Clan comes first.<ref name='a2mc3'/>

'''Seventh Day:'''
* The next morning, Iroha updates Momoko on their progress: Touka is analyzing the hacked phone data, Yachiyo is investigating where the signals were cut off, and Tsuruno discovered that one of her classmates, a girl named Sakuya, is a Promised Blood member who was present at the battle of Fendt Hope. Yachiyo and Touka investigate the signal cutoff point together and deduce the girls must have entered a Witch's Labyrinth, which would have blocked the signal. Meanwhile, Tsuruno confronts Sakuya directly at school.<ref name='a2mc3'/>
* Meanwhile, in the archives of the Tokime clan, Sunao reads worm-like letters that Chiharu cannot, and they find a diary of a former Diviner describing how she protected the village until her Jewel clouded over, at which point she looked forward to the coming of age ceremony that would allow her to leave. Chiharu realizes these girls were tricked and killed, and Shizuka confirms that Diviners were exploited until their powers ran out, their bones resting in the waterfall basin where Shizuka and Chiharu were pushed. Shizuka leads them to the ceremony site, where Diviners were thrown to their deaths dressed in fine clothes, and she carries their regrets to avenge them.<ref name='a2mc3'/>
* Later that day, Iroha and Tsuruno chase Sakuya to a quiet area, where Iroha pleads for information about Ui. Sakuya admits she knows where Ui is but insists she isn't obligated to tell them. However, she reveals that she lost her best friend in Futatsugi too, which is why she understands Yuna's pain. She also states she doesn't believe Yuna will kill Ui, and if Yuna ever tries, Sakuya plans to stop it herself.<ref name='a2mc3'/>
* Back at Mikazuki Villa, the group discusses Sakuya's words and feels relieved that Ui is still alive. Suddenly, Lil' Kyubey arrives battered and carrying a letter. Sana recognizes the handwriting as belonging to the same person who wrote the Darkrow letters delivered by Mr. Purrs-a-lot, and she decodes it. The letter confirms Ui is in Futatsugi City and includes a map of the Kimochi locations, though Yachiyo realizes the map itself must have already been taken from them. Touka calls to confirm she has located the Promised Blood's base in Futatsugi.<ref name='a2mc3'/>
* Meanwhile, elsewhere in Kamihama, Mitama finishes adjusting Mikage, who feels warmer than before. Though Mitama worries about the danger in Kamihama, Mikage insists on helping Nayuta find her father so he can spread the truth about Magical Girls to the world. Mitama reluctantly agrees, asking Nayuta to look after her and keep her out of group conflicts.<ref name='a2mc3'/>
* Nayuta brings Mikage to the Satomi Medical Center to speak with Touka's father, hoping he might know where Tasuke is. He confirms he has also been searching for his brother but has found no information, noting that even Touka was influenced by the strange book Tasuke wrote. Before Nayuta can respond, Mikage and Lavi are recruited by Alina to model for a painting, with Mifuyu apologizing for dragging strangers into it. When Nayuta admits her visit was a dead end, Alina observes that Nayuta seems lost and suggests that if you are lost, you can always go back to the entrance.<ref name='a2mc3'/>
* Back at home, Nayuta considers Alina's advice and realizes she needs to go through all of her father's documents again for clues she might have missed. Remembering Touka's father mentioning that Touka was influenced by her father's book, Nayuta reluctantly calls her cousin. Despite their strained relationship, Nayuta asks for Touka's help in tracing her father's steps by identifying addresses from sent emails. Touka agrees, admitting that Tasuke is a special person who changed her life too.<ref name='a2mc3'/>
* That night in the Tokime village, Chiharu smells malice and they find a man under a Witch's Kiss stealing documents, including the list of Diviners. Shizuka's mother subdues him with a Gaze Locking technique, and the girls rush off to defeat the Witch.<ref name='a2mc3'/>
* They defeat the Witch easily thanks to adjustments they received in Kamihama, and afterward Shizuka's mother explains the thief was addicted to gambling and exploited by the Witch. She agrees to teach Shizuka the Gaze Locking technique before she returns to Kamihama tomorrow, as Shizuka has now experienced the strong emotions needed to learn it.<ref name='a2mc3'/>

'''Eighth Day:'''
* The next morning, Lavi and Nayuta continue sorting through Tasuke's documents and discover pages detailing a visit to Futatsugi City involving Promised Blood, which concerns Nayuta. Ranka overhears them and warns against mentioning Promised Blood carelessly. Though Nayuta fears the girl who attacked her before, she resolves to continue her search, and Lavi suggests asking Mikage about Ranka's school uniform just as Mikage arrives.<ref name='a2mc3'/>
* Meanwhile, the Union launches a two-pronged operation: Team Mikazuki and Momoko's group head to Futatsugi to rescue Ui while the south and east teams monitor Promised Blood. However, Yuna's group has already anticipated this and heads to Minaminagi by train, planning to seize the Kimochi there while Iroha's group walks into their trap.<ref name='a2mc3'/>
[[File:102405 alina millers.jpg|thumb]]
* At the Hospital, Mifuyu checks on Alina, who has just completed a strange painting entirely in blue that Karin realizes is actually multiple canvases connected into one enormous landscape. When Mifuyu asks if this is Endless Mirrors, Alina confirms this is where she is, guided by someone deep within her, though she will not answer when Karin asks who that is.<ref name='a2mc3'/>
* Meanwhile, at the Tokime clan's village, Shizuka's mother trains her in Gaze Locking, a technique that conveys strong emotions through eye contact. She demonstrates by making Shizuka's knees give out from fear, then reveals she learned it during an argument with Shizuka's father, much to her daughter's shock. The training continues for hours, with Shizuka's mother pushing her to picture someone she hates. Shizuka focuses on Yuna Kureha, thinking she cannot forgive her.<ref name='a2mc3'/>
* Back in Kamihama, Mikage identifies Ranka's school, and after three days of waiting at the gate, Nayuta finally spots her. Ranka apologizes for attacking her and, after Nayuta honestly admits she was frightened by Ranka's Witch-like power, agrees to connect her to Juri. During a phone call at a cafe, Juri recognizes the Satomi name and reveals that Tasuke intervened during a violent dispute between Magical Girls eight months ago, mediating when Promised Blood was about to let people die and knowing far too much about Magical Girls for an ordinary man. Though Juri has no idea where Tasuke is now, Nayuta is relieved to learn this heroic side of her father.<ref name='a2mc3'/>
* Touka calls urgently to say Promised Blood has kidnapped her best friend, and Nayuta worries Juri might be using her as bait. Touka reveals the email that led Nayuta to Kamihama was sent from Nayuta's own house in Takarazaki, shocking Nayuta with the realization that her father came home only to disappear again. Though Lavi suggests respecting his wishes, Nayuta refuses to give up, viewing her father as her research partner and finding it unforgivable that he would vanish without saving anything.<ref name='a2mc3'/>
* As the sun begins to set, Shizuka finally articulates her answer: the Tokime Clan must carry the wishes of past Diviners, defeat the injustice of becoming Witches, and devote themselves to the Land of the Rising Sun, unlike those who treat Diviners as tools. When her mother pretends to cut up their history to test her, Shizuka masters Gaze Locking, stopping her with a powerful glare. Relieved, Shizuka's mother tells her to return to Kamihama. Shizuka gathers everyone, and Sunao receives a call that Promised Blood seized a Stone in Minaminagi and Ui has not been rescued yet. Asahi asks about their alliance with the Union, and Shizuka admits she was losing her identity as a Tokime and conceding too much, but assures Chiharu they have no reason to fight and must take care of themselves first.<ref name='a2mc3'/>
* In Futatsugi, Iroha and her friends find Ui's base empty and are ambushed by Promised Blood. Yuna, Hikaru, and Sakuya arrive with impossible speed, and Hikaru deliberately separates Iroha from the others, chasing her through the city.<ref name='a2mc3'/>
* Meanwhile in Minaminagi, the Union team defeats the Uwasa protecting the Kimochi and engages Beauteous Pearl Eye. Promised Blood arrives to join the fight, followed by Himena and Alexandra of Neo-Magius. With everyone joining forces, Ao successfully defeats the Kimochi, which transforms into a bracelet. Shigure and Hagumu remain caught between factions, with both sides demanding they choose soon.<ref name='a2mc3'/>
* After their battle in Minaminagi, Juri, Ao, and Ranka discuss their victory. Ao teases Juri for not using her stored magic, and Juri says the Union retreated. Ao quietly thanks her, admitting she now understands why the Ryuugasaki girls look up to Juri despite her violent methods. Suddenly, Ao senses a Kimochi nearby, and despite Ranka's protests, Juri insists they fight it now while things are going their way.<ref name='a2mc3'/>
[[File:102402 fall hikaru.jpg|thumb]]
* Meanwhile, throughout the night, Iroha manages to defeat Hikaru and shows her mercy by cleansing her Soul Gem. Yachiyo's group learns from Sakuya that Yuna now intends to kill Ui, forcing them to plan their escape from Futatsugi. Hikaru, confused by Iroha's mercy, warns her that Yuna will not show the same kindness. Yuna, upon learning of Hikaru's failure and Sakuya's betrayal, prepares to lure Iroha to the catacombs and begin making Ui's grave.<ref name='a2mc3'/>
* Back in Kamihama, Kagome proposes using Ryo's photographs alongside her writing to inform the public about magical girls. Ryo agrees and decides to investigate a lead from Touka about a point of interest in Daito. Kagome reflects on the day's events: Ao now possesses the Kimochi bracelet, Himena and Alexandra remain enigmatic figures, and the Tokime Clan has returned to their tranquil village, leaving Kagome to wonder what Shizuka has been doing there.<ref name='a2mc3'/>
* Having arrived in Kamihama, Shizuka's group also senses the Kimochi and recognizes Promised Blood's magic. Shizuka decides to go after them to get the Stone, prioritizing what the Tokime must accomplish. When Chiharu protests about Ui, Shizuka insists they must carry the thoughts of past Diviners.<ref name='a2mc3'/>
* They enter the barrier and are assaulted by the Uwasa of the Flower Speaker, a deafening noise that disorients everyone. Shizuka volunteers to act as a decoy by running into Promised Blood first. As Ao prepares to take the Uwasa's attack and create an opening, Shizuka suddenly attacks her, declaring the Tokime will emerge victorious. Ao argues that if they reclaim the Automatic Purification System, Magical Girls will be freed from their duties, but Shizuka questions whether Ao sees Diviners' duties as merely a burden. She uses Gaze Locking on Ao, paralyzing her with fear.<ref name='a2mc3'/>
* Enraged, Juri attacks, and Shizuka welcomes the confrontation, intentionally siccing the Uwasa on Promised Blood. While Ranka shields the frozen Ao, the Tokime strike the Uwasa from its defenseless rear, delivering a powerful blow. The dying Uwasa lashes out violently, breaking their formation, and Promised Blood's grunts pin them down just as the Kimochi, [[Robust - Opal Head]], begins to appear.<ref name='a2mc3'/>
[[File:102403 burning opal.jpg|thumb]]
* With both groups scattered, Shizuka realizes she is alone against the Kimochi. Juri and Ao attack together but make little progress. Shizuka proposes they fight together or both be wiped out, and Ao agrees to release the Tokime. United against the Kimochi, they successfully restrain it, but when they pour everything into the assault, Promised Blood holds back. Juri reveals she bet the Kimochi would not die in one attack and conserved her magic, then unleashes it all to deliver the final blow and claim the Stone.<ref name='a2mc3'/>
* As the Promised Blood sisters prepare to leave, Ao admits she is still afraid of eye contact, and Shizuka explains it was an accident activated by anger. Juri calls them weird and leaves before sunrise. Chiharu asks if Shizuka is worrying again, but Shizuka says she is simply rediscovering how different she is from others. Chiharu reassures her she heard everything during Gaze Locking practice and will keep being a Diviner, following the head family's wishes. Relieved, Shizuka feels the Tokime Clan has built a strong and noble pillar that will not be easily shaken.<ref name='a2mc3'/>
* Unbeknownst to them, Ryo, who had followed her lead from Touka to investigate a point of interest in Daito, witnesses their departure, muttering that the Magius was right and there must be a secret route in this area. Ao senses someone watching and Juri regrets getting careless.<ref name='a2mc3'/>

'''Ninth Day:'''
* By dawn, Kagome decides to seek Nemu and Touka's help with writing and social networking the next day. Meanwhile, Yuna confronts Iroha, who surrenders upon realizing she has been found. Yachiyo wakes Felicia, who slept through everything and mistakes the situation for an enemy attack.<ref name='a2mc3'/>
* Early in the morning, Tsuruno leads an assault on Promised Blood's hideout with Sana, Momoko, Rena, Kaede, Yachiyo, and Felicia. They rescue Ui, who reveals the Second Sister obtained a Kimochi Stone, but Urara admits Yuna has Iroha and plans to turn her into a Witch. The group forces the catacombs' location from Sakuya and rushes to save Iroha.<ref name='a2mc3'/>
* At the catacombs, Yuna shows Iroha Ui's hair tie and a Grief Seed, falsely claiming Ui became a Witch. As Iroha's Soul Gem begins corrupting, the Kimochi within her bracelet intervenes and Ui's voice reaches her, confirming she is alive. The Mikazuki Villa group arrives, and Yuna reluctantly allows them to take Iroha in the sacred burial ground.<ref name='a2mc3'/>
[[File:102404 freight train.jpg|thumb]]
* As they escape, Juri and Ao appear with two Stones, but the exhausted Kamihama group jumps onto a passing freight train. Yuna's forces give chase but are repelled by Tsuruno. Kyubey appears to both groups, revealing only two Kimochi Stones remain and that controlling the Automatic Purification System requires one person to gather all of them.<ref name='a2mc3'/>
* Later that morning, Yachiyo meets with Mitama and learns the Promised Blood likely used the Endless Mirrors Witch to warp across distances, meaning the original Labyrinth may have become a terminal connecting to similar Witches nationwide.<ref name='a2mc3'/>
* Meanwhile, Shizuka worries about telling Mikazuki Villa that the Tokime Clan must declare independence, though she intends to maintain friendly relations. She decides to join Chiharu and Sunao when they visit to watch Mr. Purrs-a-lot with Sana.<ref name='a2mc3'/>
* Kagome reflects on the escalating conflict and prays for Nayuta Satomi, the daughter of the scholar who first taught her about Magical Girls, as she searches for her missing father alone.<ref name='a2mc3'/>

* Sakuya is summoned to the Ryuugasaki base by Juri and Ranka. They confront her about her recent actions, having deduced she was the source of the leaked information that led to the failed missions against Iroha and the rescue of Ui. Sakuya confesses immediately, explaining she acted to prevent Yuna from crossing a moral line by killing people she had personally known and spoken with. She believes this would permanently destroy the kind person Yuna once was. Juri is enraged and nearly attacks Sakuya, but Ranka intervenes, arguing that Yuna, as the First Sister, should make the final judgment.<ref name='a2ac3>Shown in [[Magia Record Another Story Arc 2 Chapter 3: I'll Show You My Resolve|Arc 2, Another Story Chapter 3: I'll Show You My Resolve]]</ref>
* Later, Sakuya reflects on her past, remembering how Yuna’s kindness saved her when she was a new, frightened Magical Girl. She recalls Yuna’s past mercy, even towards rivals like Juri, whom she defeated but spared. Sakuya resolves to save Yuna from becoming a "demon" on the inside.<ref name='a2ac3/>
* Juri reports Sakuya’s confession to Yuna. Despite Juri’s insistence on harsh punishment, Yuna decides to be lenient, placing Sakuya under surveillance by Hikaru. Yuna states that if Sakuya interferes with their plans again, she will deal with her personally.<ref name='a2ac3/>

'''Tenth Day:'''
* The next day, Sakuya, now demoted and distrusted by her peers, is assigned to a general patrol group. Her first mission is to investigate and eliminate any Magical Girls from Kamihama found in Futatsugi. She soon encounters the idol Sayuki Fumino and her friends, Mayu Kozue and Ria Ami, who have come to Futatsugi for a performance. Sakuya lures them into an alley to ambush them, however, another Promised Blood member, who is a fan of Sayuki, intervenes to protect the idol. Sakuya, understanding the girl’s inability to harm someone she loves, stages a fight to allow the Kamihama group to escape, and this act of mercy is witnessed by Hikaru, who reports it to Yuna.<ref name='a2ac3/>
* That night, Yuna summons Sakuya to the Futatsugi catacombs. Declaring Sakuya’ actions unforgivable, Yuna agrees to hear her out only if Sakuya can defeat her in a duel. In a desperate fight, Sakuya manages to land a single blow on Yuna. Impressed by her resolve, Yuna and Juri spare her life, and through telepathy, Yuna reveals that she needs Sakuya to stay by her side specifically to ensure she does not lose her humanity completely.<ref name='a2ac3/>
[[File:207303 end.jpg|thumb]]
* Sakuya agrees to rejoin Promised Blood and fight for Futatsugi, but only after securing Yuna’s promise to show some mercy to their enemies. At dawn, the three watch the sunrise from a bridge, with Sakuya inwardly vowing to remain at Yuna’s side to protect her heart until the conflict ends.<ref name='a2ac3/>

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

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

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

==Part 3==
Part 3 encompasses [[Magia Record Main Story Arc 2 Chapter 4|Chapter 4]]. While it is possible the first day of Part 3 immediately follows, or takes place on the last day of Part 2, it is unverifiable.

'''First Day:'''
* The Union council meets to discuss their approach, deciding to pursue cooperation with Promised Blood while acknowledging that compensation will be required from Kamihama. Iroha pleads for one last chance to negotiate with Yuna, arguing that uniting through their desire to save each other is the fastest path to saving all Magical Girls.<ref name='a2mc4'>Shown in [[Magia Record Main Story Arc 2 Chapter 4: Ultramarine in the Distance|Arc 2, Chapter 4: Ultramarine in the Distance]]</ref>
* The conversation shifts when Yachiyo explains that Mirrors Familiars have grown and now connect Labyrinths across distances, creating shortcuts between Kamihama and Futatsugi that Promised Blood has been confirmed to use. Mifuyu arrives with news that Alina has been painting maps that may lead to the original Witch's location, and Kanagi suggests forming an investigation team once negotiations conclude.<ref name='a2mc4'/>

'''Fifth Day:'''
* Four days later, at home, Nayuta tells Lavi that the security camera at her parents' old house captured her father's image clearly, suggesting he might be hiding intentionally. Mikage arrives with handmade pin badges for their "Papa Search Party" and suggests they visit a foreign painter they met before, but on the way they encounter Mifuyu, Tsukasa, and Tsukuyo struggling to carry art supplies for Alina. Despite Nayuta's reluctance, they help.<ref name='a2mc4'/>
* At the hospital, they learn from Mifuyu that Nayuta's father once interviewed her and Yachiyo long ago. Nayuta admits her investigation suggests her father may not want to be found, and Mifuyu suggests he might be avoiding her out of love, similar to how Mitama hid being a Magical Girl from Mikage. Nayuta reveals her parents divorced years ago and her father is her only remaining family besides Lavi. When she mentions her mother is trying to regain custody, Mifuyu suggests contacting her for clues. Nayuta goes to her uncle, the hospital director, who knows her mother's contact information. He agrees to help but assigns her homework: she must bring her own answer about what it means to lose a loved one. He schedules another meeting in three days and promises to invite Touka as well.<ref name='a2mc4'/>
* That night over dinner, Lavi shares her view that perspectives on death vary with knowledge and philosophy, but for her, it comes down to emptiness and acceptance, and the only truth is what we lose right in front of us. Nayuta finds this confusing but continues contemplating the homework.<ref name='a2mc4'/>

'''Sixth Day:'''
* Hinano notices that Ryo seems troubled, suspecting her investigation into Promised Blood has become more serious.<ref name='a2mc4'/>
* Nayuta retrieves the analyzed security footage and takes a break with Mikage at a parlor, where she shares her view that death represents hope, a chance for all souls to eventually melt together regardless of their differences. Lavi finds this hopeful perspective characteristic of Nayuta, while Mikage admits she doesn't fully understand but would be sad if anyone disappeared.<ref name='a2mc4'/>
* Later that night, Nayuta reflects on her uncle's homework while watching a drama, realizing that you don't have to die to lose someone. She recalls her parents' final argument, when her mother had changed and struck her father. Nayuta remembers that her family fell apart because of her own wish; she hated her mother, yet losing her brought only sadness.<ref name='a2mc4'/>

'''Seventh Day:
* Nayuta meets her uncle and Touka in the hospital courtyard. Touka shares her answer first, speaking of death's inevitability and the limits of human reach. Her uncle agrees that separation is unavoidable. Nayuta then gives her answer: simply put, it means sorrow and anguish, and she cannot betray her feelings. Her uncle accepts this, saying he only wanted her to think. He agrees to contact her mother but warns Nayuta to consider her mother's feelings. He advises Touka to think of her surroundings rather than all humanity. Afterward, they encounter Tsukasa and Tsukuyo searching for Alina, who has disappeared from the hospital.<ref name='a2mc4'/>

'''Eighth Day:'''
* Kagome collects photographs taken by Ryo and transmits them with help from Touka and Nemu. With only two Kimochi Stones remaining, she senses an approaching struggle and resolves to fight despite her feelings of inadequacy and fear.<ref name='a2mc4'/>
* At Minaminagi Liberty Academy, a teacher announces volunteer opportunities for Kamihama's reconstruction. Ryo remains distracted, thinking about Promised Blood's secret route and Kagome's request to photograph Magical Girls. She decides to investigate the shortcut alone, and Hinano and Ikumi go after her.<ref name='a2mc4'/>
* Later that day, Alina approaches Ryo at school and invites her to investigate the Mirrors offshoot in Daito again. Ryo feels conflicted but cannot suppress her curiosity. Hinano warns Ryo against acting alone, but Ryo deflects by claiming she is focused on Kagome's project.<ref name='a2mc4'/>
* Felicia reports that Promised Blood refuses to talk and the Tokime Clan is bickering with them. Iroha decides to contact Sakuya, their spy at the school, and Sakuya agrees to arrange a meeting with Yuna despite the difficulty. Yuna receives the message and agrees to listen, finding Iroha's persistence intriguing.<ref name='a2mc4'/>
* That night at Mikazuki Villa, the group discusses compensation for Promised Blood. Touka reveals she has prepared a method to increase the chance of joining hands but keeps it secret for now. They agree to bring Touka and Nemu to the negotiation.<ref name='a2mc4'/>
* Suddenly, Juri crashes through a window, demanding to deliver Promised Blood's response in person. She presents terms: before meeting Yuna, Iroha must first meet with Hikaru and Sakuya and present what they are willing to give. Additionally, they must use Ui to find the Kimochi Labyrinth at Minaminagi. Iroha and Yachiyo accept the conditions. Kagome later notes this was the day they could have set their eyes on hope.<ref name='a2mc4'/>

'''Ninth Day:'''
[[File:102501 negotiations.jpg|thumb]]
* Iroha, Yachiyo, Tsuruno, Touka, and Nemu meet Hikaru and Sakuya at Shizuku's coffee house to negotiate a potential alliance while Ui, Felicia, and Sana head to the cargo port to search for the Kimochi as agreed. Iroha's proposals are rejected, and when Touka and Nemu offer themselves as compensation to satisfy Promised Blood's wrath, Hikaru and Sakuya decide to take the matter back to Yuna.<ref name='a2mc4'/>
* While waiting for a response, Iroha fixes a loose button on Hikaru's coat, and Hikaru reveals that Yuna had done the same for her years ago. Iroha asks if Hikaru could help Touka and Nemu in an emergency, but Hikaru says it is impossible. Later that evening, Kagome, Touka, Nemu, and Sakurako gather at the radio telescope and discuss the progress, with Kagome worrying about Ryo, who continues investigating the Mirrors offshoot despite Hinano and Ikumi trying to stop her.<ref name='a2mc4'/>
* Meanwhile, Hagumu and Shigure resolve to change and decide to return to Juri and start fresh, aiming to become people who can stand on their own. Kagome watches from within the Uwasa of the Eternal Sakura as negotiations continue, feeling terrified for Touka and Nemu.<ref name='a2mc4'/>

* At the cargo port, Ui, Sana, and Felicia meet with Promised Blood as agreed and enter the Labyrinth with the Tokime Clan to search for the Kimochi. Inside, they encounter the Uwasa Labyrinth of the Anonymous AI that separates the groups, but Sana realizes they can open its heart by playing together rather than fighting. Ui offers friendship, and the Uwasa withdraws, revealing it was merely lonely. The Kimochi, [[Drifting - Diamond Hair]], appears and is defeated by the combined group, with Chiharu gaining the Bracelet. Shigure and Hagumu suddenly return and apologize to Juri, declaring they now have their own goals alongside new comrades. Juri is angered but decides to leave for now. Sana receives a message that negotiations have broken down and the Union needs to leave immediately. The Tokime Clan offers to help, but Himena appears with the Neo-Magius, attacks them, severs Chiharu's arm, and steals the Kimochi of Fear from her Bracelet before withdrawing. Juri arrives and mocks them for being bested.<ref name='a2mc4'/>
* Meanwhile, Livia and Lavi discuss that the Union's actions have set things in motion that neither the Tokime Clan nor the Neo-Magius desire, with Livia preparing for casualties.<ref name='a2mc4'/>
* Ryo meets Alina at Daito, where Alina uses her connection to the voice inside her to pinpoint the Mirrors offshoot's location near Kamihama Prison. Hinano, Ikumi, and Karin arrive to stop them, but Ryo insists they must strike at the weak point now, and the group reluctantly follows.<ref name='a2mc4'/>
* At the prison, Alina confirms the magical reactions come from underground while Ryo searches for an entrance. Promised Blood members Ao and Urara detect them, and Ao alerts Yuna that Ryo's ability poses a serious threat to their Labyrinth. Yuna receives the message during negotiations and immediately orders Sakuya to break them off, leaving Iroha and the others confused. Yachiyo contacts Hinano and realizes Promised Blood likely interpreted their movement as betrayal. Underground, Ryo finds a door revealing how Promised Blood comes and goes. Above ground, battle erupts as Kanagi and Mitama arrive as reinforcements, but Momoko's team and Sana's team are blocked from reaching the prison.<ref name='a2mc4'/>

* At the negotiation site, Yuna confronts Iroha, Tsuruno, and Yachiyo about Ryo breaking the ceasefire, revealing her true plan was to work Kamihama's Magical Girls to death rather than slaughter them. At the prison, Ao breaks through the defense line and pursues Ryo as she emerges. Ao intends only to break Ryo's camera, but her blade strikes Ryo's Soul Gem instead, killing her instantly. Both factions are left reeling as Yuna coldly declares Ryo's death is the price of the Union's underhanded tactics.<ref name='a2mc4'/>

[[File:102504 sapphire iroha2.jpg|thumb]]
* As Ikumi collapses in grief, a Kimochi Labyrinth suddenly appears. The Kimochi of Grief, [[Unmoving - Garnet Pinky]], emerged in response to Ikumi's despair and forces both factions to fight it together. The Kimochi proves overwhelmingly powerful until Iroha's Bracelet lends her its power, allowing her to connect with Ikumi, who channels her grief into one decisive strike and defeats it.<ref name='a2mc4'/>
[[File:102504 kimochi concentration.jpg|thumb]]
* With the immediate threat over, Yuna announces that now that all eight Stones are gathered, the real fight begins. She reveals Promised Blood has been tracking all Kamihama Magical Girls and has just ordered assassinations. Before anyone can act, another Labyrinth envelops everyone as the Kimochi declare they will choose which Magical Girls are worthy. The Kimochi vanish, and Promised Blood withdraws to heal their wounds.<ref name='a2mc4'/>
* Ikumi asks Kanagi to take Ryo's body back to the East, and the Union mourns together. Mitama warns that rumors are spreading in the East again, claiming the West seeks to rule all of Kamihama, and Ryo's death could ignite tensions once more. Meanwhile, the Tokime Clan, recovering from their fight with the Neo-Magius, hears news of Ryo's death.<ref name='a2mc4'/>
* Kagome reflects on Ryo's death, realizing she never truly understood the reality of being a Magical Girl until now. Back at Mikazuki Villa, the group receives a declaration of war from the Neo-Magius. Knowing their home is no longer safe, Touka leads them to an underground shelter prepared by the Satomi Group and announces her plan to use the facility's resources to spread the truth about Magical Girls and continue their fight.<ref name='a2mc4'/>

'''Tenth Day:'''
[[File:102504 midorinewspaper.jpg|thumb|left]]
* As everyone mourns Ryo's death, an announcement at school declares the Midori Report discontinued. Kagome reflects that through this tragedy, the Magical Girls lost their final chance to band together, and she realizes Kyubey orchestrated the battle while their emotions prevented them from stopping him. She concludes that outsiders who know the truth must take action, and to do so convincingly, they need the help of folklorist Tasuke Satomi, Nayuta's missing father.<ref name='a2ac4'>Shown in [[Magia Record Another Story Arc 2 Chapter 4: Anguish in the Safe Zone|Arc 2, Another Story Chapter 4: Anguish in the Safe Zone]]</ref>
* That morning, Yozuru and Sudachi investigate Mikazuki Villa and find a window shattered by a magical attack, confirming the Union leaders have been targeted. Livia tasks them with investigating the previous day's events and providing care to any Magical Girls they encounter, but instructs them not to mention Ryo's death to avoid seeming intrusive.<ref name='a2ac4'/>
* Nayuta travels to Takarazaki to meet her mother at a cafe, briefly encountering Livia who asks for help with a Witch, though Nayuta declines due to her meeting. Yozuru and Sudachi visit Hozumi Coffeehouse and Emiri's Consultation Office, where they find Shizuku, Emiri, Asuka, and Sasara all distressed over Ryo. Despite their efforts to offer comfort through coffee and conversation, they realize their attempts to provide care have been ineffective against such profound sadness.<ref name='a2ac4'/>
* Nayuta reunites with her mother, who has gathered information about her father's whereabouts. Nayuta apologizes for wanting only that, admits she hated her mother but might love her too, and describes the gap in her heart since she left. Her mother apologizes, reveals she knows about Magical Girl wishes, and gives her the information. Meanwhile outside the city, Livia meets with Kyubey, who claims the Kimochi Stone situation is an unpredictable deviation he did not orchestrate, and asks her to keep watch over Kagome Satori.<ref name='a2ac4'/>
[[File:102505 pray rabi.jpg|thumb]]
* Nayuta returns home exhausted to find Mikage waiting with Lavi. Mikage comforts her and promises to help find her father so the three of them can live together again. That evening, Yozuru and Sudachi report their failures to Livia, who shares Kyubey's request about observing Kagome. Later, Nayuta discovers a document about her father's actions in Yukuni City around the time he disappeared—something she had no knowledge of. Lavi finds a letter in the mailbox with no postmark, delivered directly. Nayuta recognizes her father's handwriting but becomes distressed upon reading it, declaring it is not from him. The letter states Nayuta's father has given up, claiming there is no way to save Magical Girls. Alone, Lavi acknowledges that with the Kimochi stones collected and casualties suffered, each action advances a clock toward a point where they will be forced to take lives themselves to keep watching over the girls.<ref name='a2ac4'/>

==Part 4==
Part 4 encompasses [[Magia Record Main Story Arc 2 Chapter 5: Shaky Ideals in a Hazy Love Song|Chapter 5]]. It appears that not a lot of time has passed since Part 3, likely a few days at most.

'''First Day:'''
* After the Kimochi's declaration, the factions and their primary objectives are defined. Promised Blood engages in guerrilla tactics, targeting individual Union members who possess Kimochi Stones to exhaust them. Whenever any of the selected girls are about to fight each other, their bracelets will envelop them in a Labyrinth in order to have them fight with each other.<ref name='a2mc5'/>
* Iroha is ambushed by Hikaru, who demands her Kimochi Stone, and Iroha is horrified that Hikaru is unconcerned about Ryo's death. Yachiyo Nanami and Tsuruno Yui arrive to assist Iroha. Kagome also observes this fight from within the conflict zone, noting she can enter without being isolated, likely because she is not a Magical Girl.<ref name='a2mc5'/>
* Afterwards, Hinano informs Ikumi that Iroha was targeted. Ikumi, still grieving for Ryo, is struggling to maintain her composure. Hinano encourages her to continue grieving.<ref name='a2mc5'/>
* In a meeting, Himena meets with Kyubey and questions how the Automatic Purification System would be used if acquired. Kyubey confirms that if one could acquire all the Kimochi Stones and bring the system under control, it would not be impossible. Himena is satisfied with this answer and is joined by San and Miyuri.<ref name='a2mc5'/>
* Later, the Union members discuss the ongoing attacks from Promised Blood. Yachiyo deduces that Promised Blood is intentionally trying to cut down the Union members chosen by the Kimochi, so they decide to meet with the Tokime Clan to discuss the situation and the recent theft of Chiharu's Kimochi Stone.<ref name='a2mc5'/>
* The Union meets with Shizuka, Chiharu, and Sunao of the Tokime Clan. Shizuka formally announces the end of their alliance with the Union, wit the reason being fundamental difference in their stances on being Magical Girls. The Tokime take pride in their role as protectors and do not view their contracts with Kyubey negatively, whereas the Union does. Despite this, the Tokime express that they hold no hostility toward the Union and would prefer if the Union were the last group standing alongside them. They agree to focus on different enemies—the Tokime will target the Neo-Magius, and the Union will focus on Promised Blood—and vow to cross blades in a final confrontation.<ref name='a2mc5'/>
* That night, Iroha confesses to Yachiyo that she cannot see a clear goal amidst the chaotic conflict. Yachiyo states that the possibility of an ending where everyone is saved was lost in the prison incident. Iroha also mentions her concern for Rena after she'd befriended Ranka, who turned out to be a member of Promised Blood. The other Union members, along with Ui, comfort Iroha.<ref name='a2mc5'/>

'''Second Day:'''
* With the looming election, Hagumu and Shigure report to Himena that they have observed no contact between the Union and Tokime, confirming the dissolution of their alliance. The Neo-Magius begin to formulate a plan and Himena reveals she still intends to recruit Shizuka into their ranks, believing their groups are similar. She tasks Hagumu and Shigure with attempting to persuade Shizuka despite their reluctance. After talking with Himena, Alexandra reports back to Folklore of Zero through the phone.<ref name='a2mc5'/>
* Meanwhile, at Suitoku Temple, using Chika's ability to communicate with animals, the Tokime have discovered that Himena attends Kamihama Future Academy in Sakae Ward. They plan a targeted strike against Himena, believing that eliminating the Neo-Magius' central pillar will cause the group to collapse. Shizuka, Chiharu, and Sunao agree that a small, focused attack is their best strategy.<ref name='a2mc5'/>

'''Third Day:'''
* Hagumu and Shigure arrive at the temple on Himena's orders and they deliver the offer to join the Neo-Magius. Shizuka flatly refuses, stating that as long as their resentment remains, she will not offer her hand, though she might reach behind her back instead. After they leave, the Tokime finalize their plan to ambush Himena.<ref name='a2mc5'/>
* Chiharu, Chika, Ryoko, and members of the Tokime ambush Himena near her school and Chiharu confronts her about her lack of malice while hurting others, which she finds even more dangerous. Himena expounds on the Neo-Magius ideology of Magical Girl Supremacy, arguing that Magical Girls are superior humans who should rule over ordinary people. She invites Chiharu to join her, but Chiharu rejects this philosophy entirely.<ref name='a2mc5'/>
* Alexandra and then the rest of the Neo-Magius arrive as reinforcements, so the Tokime, recognizing they are outnumbered, make a tactical retreat. After the battle, Himena reveals to her team that she confirmed the Tokime Clan is not a monolith and she sensed one member seemed interested in her words. She devises a new plan to "break" the Tokime from within, involving the creation of a specific costume.<ref name='a2mc5'/>
* Alexandra contacts Folklore of Zero to report on Himena's movements, but Himena had followed her and confronts Alexandra. She reveals her true affiliation and her role as an observer. She also delivers a prophecy to her that if Himena achieves her goals, she will die. Himena dismisses this and vows to prevent it, and for now, Alexandra is allowed to remain in the Neo-Magius.<ref name='a2mc5'/>
* Meanwhile at Mitama's, Union members discuss the ongoing situation and they receive reports that the Tokime attacked the Neo-Magius leader and that Promised Blood continues their guerrilla tactics. They debate attacking the prison but decide they need a more decisive strategy. Mifuyu reports that Alina, in an attempt to recover her memories, has agreed to cooperate with a team to map the Mirrors Labyrinth.<ref name='a2mc5'/>
* Iroha contacts Yachiyo with news that Ikumi, overwhelmed by grief for Ryo, has run away and is likely heading for Kamihama Prison alone. Iroha and Momoko pursue her to stop her.<ref name='a2mc5'/>
* At the prison entrance, Hinano and Sakurako catch up to Ikumi and try to reason with her. Ikumi breaks down, stating that crying is not enough and she cannot forgive Ryo's killer. Sakurako, using Ryo's memories, tells Ikumi that Ryo would not want this and would prefer to see her smiling, which manages to reach Ikumi, and she agrees to stand down. Iroha suggests that cleaning and organizing the belongings of the deceased can be a way to mourn and sort through one's own feelings. Ikumi decides she wants to clean out Ryo's old newspaper clubroom at school.<ref name='a2mc5'/>
* Kagome speaks with Iroha over the phone, who admits she is lost in the tangled conflict but still wishes for a way for everyone to be happy without anyone getting hurt. Kagome reaffirms her own goal of telling the world about Magical Girls, though she feels anxiety about how far she can follow the battle. Iroha suggests she consult Nemu Hiiragi for potential help.<ref name='a2mc5'/>

'''Fourth Day:'''
* A team consisting of Mifuyu, Yachiyo, Kanagi, and the Amane sisters prepares to investigate the Endless Mirrors Labyrinth with Alina, who is creating a map. After they depart, Yachiyo and Kanagi discuss the city's changing political landscape and Kanagi reveals she is assisting Mitama with the mayoral election, where an Eastern candidate is, for the first time, putting up a strong fight against the West.<ref name='a2mc5'/>
* Meanwhile, Mikage returns home to find Mitama, who apologizes for her frequent absences and explains she is helping with the election to create a happier future for Mikage. At the same time, Nayuta receives a text from her father saying he has given up on saving Magical Girls, and she panics when she finds something moving in her futon, summoning Lavi who has already called Mikage for help.<ref name='a2mc5'/>
* Iroha, Ui, Sana, and Felicia investigate the university library, where they find a partial map of Kamihama Prison's underground area. They are confronted by Shigure and Hagumu, who make a final, futile attempt to recruit them into the Neo-Magius. Later, Yachiyo and Tsuruno meet up with Iroha's group and they receive the news about Ryo's phone and the map she'd made.<ref name='a2mc5'/>
* As Sudachi has the day off, she meets Mikage. They discuss wanting to be useful, and Sudachi suggests investigating the Endless Mirrors together. At the labyrinth entrance, they hesitate, and Lavi finds them, warning Mikage not to worry Mitama. Mikage decides not to enter and instead goes to Nayuta's house.<ref name='a2mc5'/>
* Touka, Nemu, and Kagome collaborate with Nayuta on a project to reveal the existence of Magical Girls to the world. Their plan involves using impactful images, which are to be gathered by Kagome and Rii, powerful text written by Kagome and refined by Nemu, and a presentation strategy devised by Touka. They aim to post their work as high-quality "creative fiction" to gain a massive online following before revealing it as the truth, using Nayuta's missing father's media contacts to amplify the message. Nayuta, despite her doubts, agrees to help, partly to prove her father's pessimistic letter wrong. As part of this project, Kagome asks Touka and Nemu to help "complete" her Uwasa, the Wind Evangelist, to better protect her during her information-gathering missions. They also agree, seeing it as a necessary step.<ref name='a2mc5'/>
* During this time, at Nayuta's home, Mikage arrives and Nayuta shows her security camera footage of her father holding the final volume of his book, convincing her he has not given up. Nayuta resolves to follow her father's footsteps to Yukuni City, and though Mikage is upset at being left behind, Lavi suggests she investigate the Mirrors for Mitama instead.<ref name='a2mc5'/>
* At Hozuki High School, Ikumi, Hinano, and Sakurako clean the newspaper clubroom, which belonged to Ryo. Ikumi has brought Ryo's broken camera, which was damaged by Promised Blood. During the cleaning, they discover Ryo's old photos and Sakurako reveals that Ryo's camera automatically transferred photos to her smartphone. Realizing the phone may contain Ryo's final work from inside Kamihama Prison, they contact Touka to bypass the phone's security.<ref name='a2mc5'/>
* At Touka's office, Touka decides to contribute by successfully unlocking Ryo's phone.<ref name='a2mc5'/>
* In the radio telescope lab, they find that the phone contains a video message from Ryo, where she explains her method for navigating the prison's maze and how one can trace the correct path. In the event of her death, she'd also left personal messages for Hinano, Kanagi and Mitama, Sakurako and Ikumi. Touka and Nemu confirm that Ryo's photos perfectly fill in the missing parts of the Union's underground map, providing a clear route to Promised Blood's secret and the suspected Mirror Witch offshoot.<ref name='a2mc5'/>
* Promised Blood plans to lure the Union into the prison, which they view as a perfect cage for their enemies. Yuna checks on Ao, who is struggling with the guilt from killing Ryo, but Yuna advises her to freeze her emotions like she does.<ref name='a2mc5'/>
* The Neo-Magius plan to actively recruit members for their cause of Magical Girl Supremacy through a secret conference. Himena, San and Miyuri, learn from Kyubey and their own research that the Magius once summoned Walpurgisnacht and that Touka's family was involved in building a radio telescope. Himena devises a strategy to use the radio waves for a plan of her own, similar to how Touka did, as well as make costumes to infiltrate the Tokime.<ref name='a2mc5'/>
* Meanwhile, Alina, Mifuyu and the Amane twins continue exploring the Endless Mirrors.<ref name='a2mc5'/>

'''Fifth Day:'''
* While Chiharu, Chika, and other Tokime Tribe girls attempt to investigate the Neo-Magius in Kamihama, Neo-Magius agents, including San and Miyuri, secretly embed themselves within the Tokime ranks with Tokime disguises as well. San and Miyuri, while in disguise, slowly try to get the other girls more comfortable with the ideals of the Neo-Magius.<ref name='a2mc5'/>
[[File:102602 tokime traitor.jpg|thumb]]
* At sunset, Chiharu and Chika return to report to Shizuka and Himena, but San and Miyuri arrive to confront them, where Himena reveals that their "erosion" tactic has succeeded and that several Tokime members, including Sunao and Chika, have already defected. A brief skirmish ensues, but Neo-Magius retreats, promising to return for the remaining members the next day.<ref name='a2mc5'/>
[[File:102604 mirrors terminal.jpg|thumb]]
* Meanwhile, that evening, Mikage asks Mitama for permission to investigate the Mirrors and is allowed to go with Sudachi under strict conditions. Concurrently, Mifuyu updates Yachiyo on the investigation, noting Alina's map has proven accurate through sixteen layers, and she agrees to let Mikage and Sudachi join them despite concerns about managing Alina.<ref name='a2mc5'/>
* In the Mirrors, the group encounters a copy of Mitama, which attacks them after Mikage tests it. They reach the sixteenth layer and discover a terminal connected to countless Witch Labyrinths, but the room's impurity summons a powerful Witch and they are forced to escape. Afterwards, Mitama and Livia confront them, with Mitama apologizing for being overprotective and Livia agreeing to properly teach Sudachi coordination. Mikage decides the Mirrors are too dangerous for now.<ref name='a2mc5'/>
* Later that night, Himena discusses with Alexandra how their tactics have unfolded until now and tells her that the two will visit Himena's hometown tomorrow.<ref name='a2mc5'/>

'''Sixth Day:'''
* The Kamihama Magia Union prepares to assault the city's prison to find and destroy the shortcut to Futatsugi created by the offshoot of the Mirrors Witch. At the Mikazuki Villa evacuation site, Crescent House, Kagome meets with Touka and Nemu to complete the Uwasa of the Wind Evangelist. Nemu explains that creating an Uwasa normally consumes a life-threatening amount of magic, but to mitigate the risk, she has pre-charged tools with her own magic. Touka warns Kagome of the dangers, stating the Uwasa could be linked to her ears or even directly to her brain, potentially causing intense pain or unknown consequences. Despite her fear, Kagome resolves to go through with the procedure, wanting to become stronger to help other Magical Girls and repay Iroha for saving her. She successfully merges with the Uwasa, which transforms its appearance.<ref name='a2mc5'/>
* Separately, throughout the day, Himena brings Alexandra to her hometown, and at a specific location, Himena reveals that this is where her boyfriend, Hiko, died and subsequently entered her mind through her contact with Kyubey. Their secret relationship, due to social standing differences, was discovered, leading to Hiko being bullied into a state of despair that Himena failed to notice until he ended his own life. She aims to create a world with no restrictions on love, where she and Hiko can be together without ridicule.<ref name='a2mc5'/>
* During this time, the Tokime Clan investigates for the Neo-Magius base in Daito Ward with no success. Shizuka then reveals that two of their members, Sunao and Chika, along with some branch families, are not true defectors, but undercover agents pretending to have joined the Neo-Magius to locate their base. Sunao and Chika make contact, confirming their infiltration and promising to discover the base location by the next day.<ref name='a2mc5'/>
* Sunao and Chika successfully infiltrate the Neo-Magius gathering at the Kamihama Civic Center, where they identify the location as the base and plan to contact Shizuka. However, they are discovered by San and Miyuri and a battle ensues where Sunao holds off San and Miyuri to allow Chika to escape and send the location to Shizuka. Both Sunao and Chika are defeated and left injured outside the hall.<ref name='a2mc5'/>
* Upon receiving the message, Shizuka, Chiharu, Asahi, and Ryoko immediately rush to the Civic Center. They battle San, Miyuri, Hagumu, and Shigure at the entrance to break through to the main hall.<ref name='a2mc5'/>
* At the prison, the Union begins its infiltration. Their strategy relies on Tsuruno, who has memorized a map from Ryo's photos, navigating to the goal while the others fight off enemies. The team is equipped with whistles to communicate and locate each other through the magical interference caused by the enchanted rocks as well. Iroha and Felicia are initially ordered to stay behind to protect the Kimochi Stones, but later they'd decided to disobey and join the battle too. Along the way, they also meet Ikumi, who insists on joining.<ref name='a2mc5'/>
* Promised Blood uses enchanted rocks not to fake greater numbers, but to create a "jamming" effect, flooding the tunnels with magical signatures to confuse the Union members and separate them. They are aware of the Union's assault and take up defensive positions.<ref name='a2mc5'/>
* The Union teams are immediately separated and forced into individual battles. Momoko's team is ambushed from all directions by Hikaru and her army. Yachiyo, Ui, and Sana are targeted by Yuna's "Target Change" sniping magic, which allows her to attack from unexpected angles, as well as Urara.<ref name='a2mc5'/>
[[File:102603 double fire.jpg|thumb]]
* Tsuruno is intercepted first by Ao and later, after Kanagi arrives and takes her on, Tsuruno is able to continue. However, she is soon intercepted by Juri. Their fight reaches a stalemate that nearly exhausts both of their magic, and Juri, in desperation, attempts to collapse the entire underground section they are in, but ultimately lacks the power to do so.<ref name='a2mc5'/>
* Ao, traumatized by her accidental killing of Ryo, is confronted by Ikumi. Overwhelmed, Ao's emotional turmoil causes her to lose control of her Kimochi Stone and enter a berserk state, threatening to bring down the entire prison underground. During the fight, Yuna locks Felicia's attack with her own power of Target Redirection, making Felicia cast her Oblivion magic upon herself, which initially only makes her faint. Ao's rampage forces a temporary, uneasy truce between the Union and Promised Blood to stop her and escape the collapsing tunnel. However, Kanagi is able to subdue Ao, but Sakuya protects Ao from further harm.<ref name='a2mc5'/>
* Both sides are forced to regroup outside the tunnels. Iroha and Felicia's timely intervention saves several Union members from being overwhelmed. Tsuruno deduces from her conversation during the fight with Juri that the Labyrinth connecting Kamihama and Futatsugi likely has multiple entry points beyond the prison. Separately at Crescent House, Kagome and the Uwasa of the Wind Evangelist are successfully merged.<ref name='a2mc5'/>
* Inside the Civic Center, Himena holds a speech for the captive Tokime branch family members, outlining the Neo-Magius' goals. She explains their ideology of "Magical Girl Supremacy" and their concrete plan to seize control of Kamihama's Automatic Purification System.<ref name='a2mc5'/>
* Shizuka's team breaches the hall. To counter them, Alexandra uses her magic to drain the will to fight from Shizuka, Chiharu, and Asahi. Himena then orders Mitsune to use her Doppel's power to alter the perceptions of the Tokime members, making them believe they have always been part of the Neo-Magius. Shizuka resists by injuring herself to stay conscious, and she then uses a non-magical Tokime technique of the Locked Gaze to project her strong emotions and convictions to the brainwashed clan members. She rallies them by reaffirming the Tokime Clan's core ideal of standing alongside humanity and protecting people, not ruling over them. This speech successfully breaks the Doppel's mind-altering effect on a significant portion of the audience, causing a large-scale rebellion within the hall.<ref name='a2mc5'/>
* A chaotic battle erupts between the loyal Tokime members and the still-brainwashed faction. Chiharu confronts and defeats Himena in combat, and upon Himena's defeat, the Kimochi Stone she possessed emerges and interacts with her. In a subsequent mental confrontation, Himena resists the Kimochi's attempt to possess her body, reasserting her own will.<ref name='a2mc5'/>
* With Himena defeated and the Kimochi Stone reclaimed by Chiharu, the Neo-Magius' plan fails. Shizuka offers Himena a chance to disband the Neo-Magius and join the Tokime Clan, but Himena refuses. As Shizuka, angered by this, moves to attack the defeated Himena, Asahi intervenes and apparently kills Himena with a single blow.<ref name='a2mc5'/>
* In the aftermath, it is revealed that Himena's death was part of a final contingency plan using Mitsune's Doppel to alter her allies' perceptions, allowing the Neo-Magius to retreat from the public eye. However, the overuse of her power left Mitsune with lower-body paralysis, a condition similar to what Nemu suffers from. The Neo-Magius leadership regroups in hiding to plan their next move.<ref name='a2mc5'/>
* After being accepted by the Wind Evangelist, Kagome witnessed a clash between the Neo-Magius and the Tokime Clan at the Kamihama Civic Center, and from a distance, saw what she believed was Himena's death. She now understands this was a deception, and curses the fact that this illusion led to the current strained situation among Magical Girls.<ref name='a2mc5'/>
* That night, shortly after the confrontation at Kamihama Civic Center, Shizuka is troubled by Himena's accusation that the Tokime Clan's pride is a form of Magical Girl supremacy, akin to the Neo-Magius ideology. She reflects on her belief that all people are inherently good and that the clan's mission is to protect them, not look down on them. She struggles to reconcile this with how others might perceive the clan's pride.<ref name='a2ac5'>Shown in [[Magia Record Another Story Arc 2 Chapter 5: Confused by Good and Evil|Arc 2, Another Story Chapter 5: Confused by Good and Evil]]</ref>
* Later, at Banbanzai, Iroha, Yachiyo, Tsuruno, Felicia, Sana, and Ui discuss their recent discoveries. They learn from Tsuruno's father about an urban legend of a "Phantom Tunnel," an abandoned subway project near the prison that was halted after the prison's underground was discovered. Separately, after Yuna had used her own unique magic to redirect Felicia's Oblivion magic back to her, Felicia awakens from a nightmare where she saw herself killing her parents.<ref name='a2mc5'/>
* During a campaign speech for Touka's father, who is running for office, a sudden wave of intense malice is felt by Chiharu and Shizuka. A man in the crowd, seemingly not influenced by any magical entity, throws a stone at the candidate, nearly inciting a riot. This event forces Shizuka to confront the reality that human evil exists independently of magical influence.<ref name='a2mc5'/>
* Meanwhile, as Nayuta is about to depart that day, Mikage and Mitama see her and Lavi off at the station, but their farewell is interrupted when they witness the same attack on the political speaker. They chase the assailant into an alley before Lavi warns them back, and Nayuta arrives after delaying her trip, sensing something ominous. Lavi identifies the attacker as from the East and mentions unsettling rumors, and Mikage gives Nayuta crushed sweets bought with her allowance before promising to look after Mitama while she is away.<ref name='a2mc5'/>
* As the group processes the event, Kagome reflects that Magical Girls exist because of humanity itself, not Kyubey, and that for others to truly help them, mankind must reconsider how it brings about peace.<ref name='a2mc5'/>

'''Seventh Day:'''
* Shizuka takes a walk to clear her mind. She witnesses two brothers arguing; the younger one misinterprets the older one's helpful advice as condescension. This interaction makes Shizuka consider that the Tokime Clan's actions might be similarly misunderstood by outsiders. She coincidentally meets Natsuki, and they talk from behind separate trees to avoid being seen together. Shizuka confides her worries, and Natsuki reassures her that Shizuka's actions stem from a love for humanity, not a sense of superiority. Natsuki suggests Shizuka speak with the priest at her temple.<ref name='a2ac5'/>
* Shizuka returns to Suitoku Temple and discusses her feelings with the chief priest. He introduces her to the Confucian "Theory of Innate Goodness," which posits that all people are born good and that those who do evil have neglected to nurture that inherent goodness. This philosophy strengthens Shizuka's resolve and her belief in the righteousness of her mission to protect people.<ref name='a2ac5'/>

'''Eighth Day:'''
* Shizuka returns to the park to return a cleaned kendama to the brothers, hoping to help them reconcile. She witnesses the older brother from the previous day save a child from being hit by a car, confirming her belief in people's innate goodness. The younger brother reveals he was also looking for the kendama to apologize. Shizuka determines that her pride is not about superiority but about her duty to protect the inherent good in all people, and she vows not to be swayed by Himena's words again.<ref name='a2ac5'/>
* After the defeat of the Neo-Magius, the Tokime Clan tends to its wounded members, Sunao and Chika. Shizuka also addresses a clan member who defected, reaffirming the clan's true mission to protect humanity, not to stand above it.<ref name='a2ac5'/>
* Shizuka then speaks with Asahi, who fired the shot that "killed" Himena. Asahi states she made the judgment call to protect Shizuka from having to sully her own hands.<ref name='a2ac5'/>

'''Ninth Day:'''
* Shizuka is conflicted, realizing that in the heat of the moment, she herself had the intent to kill Himena for insulting her ideals. She contrasts this with Iroha's methods, who seeks to avoid violence. Shizuka is left troubled, as Himena's words about the existence of evil and the hollowness of pure altruism continue to haunt her, creating doubt despite her reinforced philosophical beliefs.<ref name='a2ac5'/>

==Part 5==
Part 5 encompasses [[Magia Record Main Story Arc 2 Chapter 6: Raison D'etre on Thin Ice|Chapter 6]]. It is quite likely that no days pass between Part 4 and Part 5, however it is unverifiable, as at least a few days have passed from the sixth day of Part 4.

'''First Day:'''
* Livia and Kyubey discuss the current state of Kamihama. Livia confirms that Himena was defeated, and the group has dissolved. However, a rumor she started—that Kamihama Magia Union's eastern and western factions had a secret agreement leading to Ryo's death—continues to spread and cause tension. Kyubey notes this infighting is beneficial as it causes Magical Girls to fight.<ref name='a2mc6'>Shown in [[Magia Record Main Story Arc 2 Chapter 6: Raison D'etre on Thin Ice|Arc 2, Chapter 6: Raison D'etre on Thin Ice]]</ref>
* At Crescent House, Felicia shows signs of emotional distress, haunted by a dream where she killed her own parents, and the team attempts to cheer her up.<ref name='a2mc6'/>
* At her cafe, Ikumi struggles with her work, burdened by Ryo's death. After work, Kanagi and Mitama discuss the political fallout from a recent mayoral election assault, while Mikage mentions the damaging rumor about the Union is spreading in the east.<ref name='a2mc6'/>

* In Yukuni, Nayuta continues her search for her father with Lavi and Alexandra. After seeing a girl with a Witch's Kiss, they save her from jumping and defeat the Witch. When she wakes up, she sees Nayuta's ring and becomes hostile when she realizes they're Magical Girls. She decides to simply stay away from them, but advises Nayuta to conceal her Magical Girl status in Yukuni.<ref name='a2mc6'/>

* The Union holds a strategy meeting at Ryushinkan. To counter the rumor and distrust, they plan a joint operation with eastern and western members. The goal is for members not chosen by the Kimochi to destroy the Mirrors Witch and sever Promised Blood's shortcut from Futatsugi.<ref name='a2mc6'/>
* Rena gets a call from Ranka, begging them to speak to her, as she was leaving Promised Blood in favor of the Union. Rena, as well as other Union members, meet Ranka at the game center to receive the information about their shortcut. After giving them some info regarding its hereabout, the meeting is interrupted by Juri, who violently retrieves Ranka. Once out of their range, Ranka tells Juri she overdid the act and actually hurt her. The Union plans to attack via two routes: the old trainyard and a route through Kosho Ward's Electric Town, based on information from Ranka. Union confirms the location of the base but remains suspicious of a trap.<ref name='a2mc6'/>
* That evening, Yuna goes to get Coordinated in the Puella Care trailer. She notifies Livia that after she redirected Felicia's magic back at her, its started to make her remember something she'd used her magic to erase. Yuna now plans to use this to sow discord within the Union's ranks.<ref name='a2mc6'/>
* At night, during the operation, the teams assemble and Kanagi leads the eastern team to the old trainyard, while Yachiyo leads the western team to the Electric Town route.<ref name='a2mc6'/>
[[File:102701 withdrawal.jpg|thumb]]
* The operation fails and the Electric Town route is blocked by a magically reinforced excavation shield used for tunnels, trapping Yachiyo's team. Promised Blood's main force, including Ranka, also ambushes Kanagi's team at the trainyard. The eastern members who cannot fight are cornered, and Kanagi is severely injured while protecting them by Ao, who is briefly overtaken by her Kimochi. Yachiyo's team breaks through to rescue them, forcing a full retreat.<ref name='a2mc6'/>
* After the battle, at Mitama's office, the injured Kanagi warns the others that the Kimochi can overwhelm their users, as happened with Ao. Rena also feels sad due to Ranka's betrayal and the failed operation and heavy injuries deepen the existing distrust between the eastern and western factions. Yuna analyzes the battle, recognizing Union's attempt to operate outside the Kimochi's rules solely to defeat their local Mirrors Witch. Ao is left emotionally distraught after her Kimochi overtook her during the fight.<ref name='a2mc6'/>

'''Second Day:'''
* Mikage and Sudachi hear news reports about the ongoing investigation into the mayoral election assault, which implicates Mitama and Kanagi. At the Crescent House's laboratory, Touka analyzes a black photograph from Ryo's phone, finding a clue. At Kanagi's home, Iroha treats her injuries and they discuss the burdens of leadership, with Kanagi advising Iroha to hold onto her idealism.<ref name='a2mc6'/>
* Felicia meets Kako and Ayame in a park, and Ayame, concerned about Felicia's distress over her dream of killing her parents, suggests they visit Suitoku Temple to find ghosts. At the temple, which serves as the Tokime clan's base, they learn that clan members Sunao and Chika are recovering from their injuries. The "ghosts" of the people in the temple are a manifestation of Asahi's unique magic, used to monitor the Magical Girls' proximity to death.<ref name='a2mc6'/>
* As she's going home from the temple, Felicia encounters Yuna by chance, who says she was on the way to Suitoku Temple. Felicia stops and asks her what she did to her in Kamihama Prison. Yuna reveals that, after she'd seen Felicia use her magic, she realized Felicia's magic may have originated from her contract making her forget something. Yuna merely redirected the magic back at Felicia, making her start to remember what happened. Yuna then transforms and makes Felicia remember everything.<ref name='a2mc6'/>

[[File:102702 karin comic.jpg|thumb]]
* Mifuyu's investigation team continues to search the Endless Mirrors, but progress is stalled as Alina remains asleep and unable to map deeper floors. Karin creates a manga, "The Alina Gray Reform Project," hoping to inspire Alina to change. Inspired by this, Mifuyu proposes a plan to destroy the Mirrors terminal, severing all shortcuts at once. She gains the Tokime clan's approval for this plan.<ref name='a2mc6'/>
* Later that day, Iroha and Kanagi discover that the route from Kamihama Prison to the subway is not blocked, as Ranka had claimed. Tsuruno also finds out about a ventilation shaft that leads to the subway and Yachiyo's team formulates a new three-pronged invasion plan using these routes.<ref name='a2mc6'/>
* At the game center, Rena, Kaede, and Momoko have a tense encounter with Ranka and Juri. Rena is emotionally devastated by Ranka's betrayal, and Felicia, who is also present, becomes enraged and destroys a punching machine, later breaking down in tears.<ref name='a2mc6'/>

* Meanwhile, continuing the search in Yukuni, Nayuta finds a lead at a local folklore museum, where an assistant professor directs them to an inn called "The Cradle of the Earth." Nayuta contacts the inn and learns her father has a reservation for the following day, all the while Lavi and Alexandra feel bad for hiding their involvement with Tasuke from her. However, that night they receive a call at their room notifying them that Tasuke has cancelled his stay for tomorrow. They receive a letter at their door from Tasuke, arranging him to meet with Nayuta after he speaks with his brother, Touka's father.<ref name='a2mc6'/>

* That evening, the Union holds a final strategy meeting at Ryushinkan. They finalize the plan to attack the subway at 5:30 AM the next day, simultaneously with Mifuyu's operation to destroy the Mirrors terminal. Yachiyo states that any member, including Felicia, will be subject to a final evaluation before the operation begins.<ref name='a2mc6'/>
* In the subway, Yuna and Promised Blood continue to search for the offshoot Mirrors Witch, counting on the internal strife within Union to buy them time. At Puella Care, Livia expresses concern for Felicia, and at Crescent House, Felicia cries alone, believing she does not deserve to be with her friends.<ref name='a2mc6'/>
[[File:102703 smartphone.jpg|thumb]]
* That night, Felicia confronts Kako through a text message, having deduced that she knew the truth about her wish, and how Felicia was the one who killed her own parents.<ref name='a2mc6'/>
* Felicia runs away and Iroha, Yachiyo, Tsuruno, Ui, and Sana pursue her. Kako and Ayame also join the search after learning of Felicia's distress.<ref name='a2mc6'/>
[[File:102703 felicia house1.jpg|thumb|left]]
[[File:102703 felicia house2.jpg|thumb]]
* Felicia escapes their pursuit by unleashing her Doppel and returns to her burned-out family apartment in Minaminagi. She relives the traumatic memory of the accident: during an argument with her mother, she kicked her, causing a pot of oil to spill and start a fire. In a panic, Felicia threw water on the oil fire, which worsened the blaze. In that moment of despair, Kyubey appeared, and Felicia wished for the incident to have never happened. Her unique magic of oblivion was a direct result of this wish, causing her to forget her own role in the tragedy, as the wording of her wish was changed due to her emotional state.<ref name='a2mc6'/>

'''Third Day:'''
* The team finds Felicia on the 15th floor. Her Kimochi bracelet reacts violently, and the Kimochi itself attempts to seize control of her body by amplifying her self-hatred. Iroha uses her own Kimochi bracelet to connect everyone's hearts to Felicia's.<ref name='a2mc6'/>
* Despite their pleas, Felicia remains consumed by guilt and is willing to let the Kimochi take her. Kako and Ayame then arrive with Asahi, who, using her unique magic, summons the spirits of Felicia's parents. They absolve Felicia of blame, explaining the accident was a result of family tensions and their own failures as parents. They tell her to live happily and bless others.<ref name='a2mc6'/>

[[File:102703 felicia house3.jpg|thumb|left]]
[[File:102703 crescent members.jpg|thumb]]
* By dawn, she is freed from her guilt by her parents' forgiveness, and Felicia rejects the Kimochi, reclaiming control of her body and her future. She resolves to live on and make others happy. The immediate crisis ends, but Asahi reflects cynically on the value of a Magical Girl's life.<ref name='a2mc6'/>
* During the operation, 5:30 AM, the Union launches its three-pronged attack on the subway to destroy Promised Blood's offshoot Mirrors Witch. Iroha's team from Mikazuki is absent, having been delayed by Felicia's emotional crisis, but Momoko's and Kanagi's teams proceed with the mission.<ref name='a2mc6'/>
* Kanagi's team enters via Kamihama Prison but they're immediately ambushed. Kanagi stays behind to duel Ao, who's now lost her sense of fear entirely, while Momoko's team advances. Throughout this, Kagome herself goes to investigate the ventilation opening and finds Urara, who is waiting for the girls of Mikazuki. She questions Kagome about her interviews, but when Kagome mentions Tasuke, Urara attacks her, prompting Rii to emerge and protect her, which makes Kagome realize Urara knows the professor. Meanwhile, Mifuyu's team enters through the Endless Mirrors to destroy the parent terminal. Rena, her team and other Union members fight against Juri, Ranka and their team, while Alina negotiates with the voice inside her, saying that if they don't help, Alina will give up and live as a new person. The voice temporarily takes over her body and allows Alina to open a sudden shortcut, accelerating their descent.<ref name='a2mc6'/>
* During the operation in the offshoot Mirrors, Momoko's team engages Juri and Ranka in battle. Miyako and Ikumi are incapacitated by Sakuya, while Kanagi, fighting Ao, is ambushed by Yuna, Hikaru and Urara. Ao reclaims the Kimochi from Kanagi, who is severely wounded and on the verge of being killed when Iroha's team finally arrives. Together, they hold off Promised Blood and rescue Kanagi.<ref name='a2mc6'/>
[[File:102704 ikumi attack.jpg|thumb]]
* Mifuyu's team arrives in the offshoot Mirrors through a linked mirror in the Mirrors terminal area, but they aren't strong enough to fight the Witch directly with Promised Blood going against them. Juri also uses her Kimochi to send her opponents into its Labyrinth, picking them off one by one, though Alina's immune to its effects. Ikumi, in a final act of despair, makes a pact with her Kimochi Stone, apologizing that she won't be the one to take it to the Automatic Purification System. She uses its power to destroy the offshoot Mirrors Witch, but in doing so, her body is completely consumed, and she vanishes.<ref name='a2mc6'/>
* With the Witch defeated and the shortcut severed, the battle ends, but Promised Blood now has gained Ikumi's Kimochi Stone as well. The four Kimochi Stones held by Promised Blood resonate with those held by the Union. Through this connection, Ui and the others perceive all the Kimochi's true intention: to gather all eight stones, return to their original form as the Witch Eve, and use the Magical Girls' conflict to create openings to possess the main twelve of them to the girls' destruction. Despite this revelation, Yuna remains confident that she can control the Kimochi and the Automatic Purification System, and Promised Blood retreats with their victory.<ref name='a2mc6'/>
* In the aftermath, at Mitama's office, the injured Kanagi works to prevent the eastern Magical Girls from blaming the west for her injuries. Everyone present, especially Hinano mourns Ikumi and her sacrifice.<ref name='a2mc6'/>
* The Tokime hear news from Mifuyu that Ikumi has died. Shizuka decides they should investigate the stone throwing incident, as she suspects the Neo-Magius had something to do with it. After talking with Chiharu and Sunao, they decide to pay Mitama a visit.<ref name='a2mc6'/>
* Nayuta, Lavi, and Alexandra go to her uncle's office and, after waiting for a very long time, Nayuta decides to investigate on her own. She finds the director's office and overhears a phone conversation where he mentions confining Tasuke to "cool his head" and discusses bringing his brother's Magical Girl research to the public from a "scientific point of view." Lavi, seizing the opportunity to sever Nayuta's ties with her cousin Touka, manipulates Nayuta into believing her uncle plans to steal her father's work for fame. This successfully turns Nayuta against her uncle and, by extension, Touka.<ref name='a2mc6'/>

'''Fourth Day:'''
* Sana experiences a creative block, unable to continue drawing her picture books. A haunting dream of her brothers, who dismiss fiction as an escape from reality, causes her to doubt the value and power of her art. She concludes that her work is meaningless and that she must take practical action in the real world to be of use.<ref name='a2ac6'>Shown in [[Magia Record Another Story Arc 2 Chapter 6: The Changing World From Behind the Shield|Arc 2, Another Story Chapter 6: The Changing World From Behind the Shield]]</ref>
* Seeking a tangible purpose, Sana accompanies Kagome on her mission to document Magical Girls across Kamihama, acting as her bodyguard. During their travels, they observe several interactions: Felicia happily reconciling with Kako and Ayame after they helped her speak with her parents' spirits; how Shizuku is not working at her cafe; the somber atmosphere at Ikumi's cafe as staff and patrons grieve her sudden death; and Kanagi preparing a memorial event for Ikumi, stating she wants to "mourn to remember, not to forget." Finally, they assist a search party in the Mirrors Labyrinth looking for the missing Alina and Karin.<ref name='a2ac6'/>
* During the search, Sana uses her unique magic of to distract a powerful Witch, allowing the other Magical Girls to defeat it. Despite this success, Sana feels her efforts are ultimately futile as the primary goal of finding Alina and Karin is not achieved.<ref name='a2ac6'/>
* Later that night, feeling dejected, Sana calls Sunao. Their conversation about a childhood animated film, "The Epic Story of Mr. Purrs-a-lot!," reveals to Sana that her courageous act in the Labyrinth was subconsciously inspired by that very film. This realization, combined with the earnest efforts she witnessed in everyone that day, helps her understand that stories are not an escape from reality but a source of inspiration for those living within it.<ref name='a2ac6'/>
* Reinvigorated, Sana speaks with Nemu, who also confirms the power of creativity. Nemu suggests that Sana publish her illustrations as an e-book through Touka's social media efforts to help spread awareness of Magical Girls. Sana agrees, resolving to continue her art with renewed faith in its purpose.<ref name='a2ac6'/>

'''A Few Days Later:'''
* Iroha goes to Mitama's to help Kanagi heal completely before they head out. At Ikumi's cafe, a memorial is held by Kanagi for her final performance. The Union mourns their losses, having learned they are being manipulated by the very power they sought to control, yet the conflict with Promised Blood continues.<ref name='a2mc6'/>
* In Kamihama, the mayoral election concludes, and as the ballots will be called the following day, the political atmosphere remains tense. At Mitama's shop, she, Mikage, and Kagome watch a news report alleging election law violations involving minors, which they recognize refers to Mitama's own assistance with the eastern candidate's campaign. Mitama reveals she participated hoping to improve the east's reputation and, by extension, her own view of Kamihama. The report causes her significant distress.<ref name='a2mc6'/>

[[File:102705 kanagi mitama.jpg|thumb]]
* That night in Kamihama, Mitama, Mikage, and Kagome, who are then joined by members of the Tokime clan, investigate the election. Using Chiharu's sense for malice and a listening device, they overhear a conversation between the newly elected mayor and Touka's father. They learn the stone-throwing incident was a plot by western factions to frame the east and maintain negative stereotypes. This revelation devastates Mitama, causing her to nearly relapse into the despair that originally led to her Magical Girl wish. After the others sense her darkened magic, she is calmed by Kanagi and Momoko, but the event deepens the political schism.<ref name='a2mc6'/>
* Iroha, after hearing Mitama's breakdown, has a personal revelation. She openly declares her resolve to "create a world where everyone can live" and save all Magical Girls, including those in Promised Blood, by ending the conflict without taking lives, focusing on their shared desire for salvation. Nearby, Lavi observes her.<ref name='a2mc6'/>
* Later, in a separate meeting, Folklore of Zero, discuss these events. They have successfully isolated Nayuta and note Iroha's pacifist "Mohist" ideology. Lavi expresses doubt that Iroha's approach can succeed alone against the impending "Awakening," a central tenet of their own beliefs.<ref name='a2mc6'/>

==Part 6==
Part 6 encompasses [[Magia Record Main Story Arc 2 Chapter 7: Twilight Remnant|Chapter 7]] and [[Magia Record Main Story Arc 2 Chapter 8: Flowers Sprouting from the Remains of Dreams|Chapter 8]]. It appears that at least a few days have passed since the end of Part 5, as Shizuku has gone back to work, and Sana has finished her e-book.

'''First Day:'''
* At night, Livia talks to Kyubey and updates him on the Kimochi's intentions. She asks him about his experiment, but he says he still needs more time to see the results. She reassures him that she will keep his request of keeping Kagome safe. Livia returns to Kamihama and meets with Yozuru and Sudachi, who have bought ingredients for food. She tells them about how they should keep Kagome safe, as their future depends on them.<ref name='a2mc7'>Shown in [[Magia Record Main Story Arc 2 Chapter 7: Twilight Remnant|Arc 2, Chapter 7: Twilight Remnant]]</ref>

'''Second Day:'''
* While working throughout the day, Shizuku tears up after the deaths of both Ryo and Ikumi. Meanwhile, Yuna, Juri, Hikaru, and Ao hold a council. With the Mirrors shortcut gone, Futatsugi is trapped, with no Witches to hunt, no funds to commute, and their connection to Kamihama severed. Yuna admits her miscalculation led to this and vows to fight on, abandoning the peaceful ideals of her respected senior. Juri recalls that Alina Gray was able to fight without being chosen by a Kimochi because she lacked interest in the Stones themselves. The group deduces that the Kimochi's Labyrinth rule only activates if a Magical Girl's objective is to acquire a Kimochi Stone or the Automatic Purification System. If they attack with pure killing intent, the rule does not apply.<ref name='a2mc7'/>
* Yuna proposes making Futatsugi City the final battlefield. This eliminates their financial and logistical problems and allows them to deploy Magical Girls from the city who are unaware of the Kimochi Stones and thus immune to the Labyrinth rule. Ao reveals she has already informed allies from the Janomiya group, who are now on standby in Futatsugi. Yuna confirms these girls will serve as their vanguard to break the Union. Juri separates from the group to settle her own promises, tracking down and briefly fighting Shigure and Hagumu. After defeating them, Juri takes them to a family restaurant, explaining she is fulfilling her promises for good luck in the coming battle, which she reveals will be Promised Blood's last stand. She warns them that, despite Neo-Magius' fall, they should be careful around their new friends as the nicer someone is, the more dangerous they can be.<ref name='a2mc7'/>
* The Union and their allies gather at Crescent House for safety. Yachiyo explains that Mifuyu, Tsukuyo, and Tsukasa are not present since they're still searching Mirrors for the missing Karin and Alina. The group discusses the grim reality that they, like Promised Blood, cannot hide indefinitely due to school and family obligations. Separately, Touka and Nemu struggle with their project to reveal the truth of Magical Girls to the world, finding their online efforts inexplicably ineffective, however Sana successfully publishes an e-book of her picture book and sends it to Sunao.<ref name='a2mc7'/>

* Meanwhile, inside the Takarazaki Community Center, Himena attempts to use her Synthesis magic on objects but fails repeatedly, reducing her ingredients to charcoal. San arrives with Miyuri and decides to personally oversee Himena's training, theorizing that Himena can synthesize magic between people but lacks a concrete mental image for objects. She assigns combat training against Witches to help Himena develop visualization skills, and after defeating several Witches, Himena demonstrates improved control by visualizing her magic as transferring light from one person to another. San reveals that Phase 2 will involve synthesizing magic into objects using collected Grief Seeds, and Alexandra is expected to arrive tomorrow.<ref name='a2ac7'>Shown in [[Magia Record Another Story Arc 2 Chapter 7: Underwater Plot|Arc 2, Another Story Chapter 7: Underwater Plot]]</ref>

* After Sunao receives a message from Sana checking in on her, she discuses with Chiharu about how she believes that Promised Blood must be defeated in order to achieve peace.<ref name='a2mc7'/>
* Lavi, Alexandra, Asahi, and Urara discuss the consequences of the upcoming Futatsugi battle. Lavi confirms that the conflict advanced her clock's hands toward the "Awakening," and that the Neo-Magius faction, now empowered, will accelerate this process. She identifies key individuals whose deaths would signify the point of no return, those being Touka, Nemu, Nayuta and Kagome. Lavi instructs Alexandra to withdraw from the Neo-Magius when they begin their major operations.<ref name='a2mc7'/>

'''Third Day:'''
* Within the Tokime Clan, Shizuka reflects deeply on her purpose. She is haunted by the words of San, who argued that controlling people from above is sometimes necessary to strip away the "evil at the root" of society. She begins to question whether simply protecting people is enough, or if a more fundamental change to the world is required, a task only the Tokime Diviners could undertake.<ref name='a2mc7'/>
* Sakuya confronts Iroha and Tsuruno at school, delivering an ultimatum from Promised Blood that the final battle will be in Futatsugi City. She threatens that if the Union does not come, they will destroy their four Kimochi Stones the following night. Iroha knows this is a bluff, as the Kimochi would resist or abandon them, but acknowledges the risk of the Stones being destroyed or reverted outside of Kamihama's protection is too great.<ref name='a2mc7'/>

* Meanwhile, Alexandra arrives to the Takarazaki Community Center, and Himena spends hours attempting to synthesize her demotivation magic into a broom, then switches to Miyuri's magic, all without success. Shigure and Hagumu report feeling increasingly uncomfortable from repeated exposure to mixed magical energies. San suggests a change of scenery and asks Himena to help prepare for a community festival the next day. Himena agrees and heads home, while San asks Shigure and Hagumu to elaborate on their uncomfortable feeling.<ref name='a2ac7'/>

* The Union and Tokime Clan hold a strategy meeting at Suitoku Temple, where they acknowledge the immense disadvantage of fighting on Promised Blood's home turf but conclude they have no choice. Shizuku, motivated by a desire to stop the cycle of hope being destroyed and to atone for her inability to save Ryo and Ikumi, contacts Iroha through the phone and begs to be of use. She does not seek revenge, but wants to help end the conflict.<ref name='a2mc7'/>

'''Fourth Day:'''
* A plan is formed at Ryushin dojo around Shizuku's unique magic of teleportation. This provides the "one-shot reversal" Yachiyo had sought. The final roster for the Futatsugi operation is set: the members of Mikazuki and Momoko's team, plus the Tokime Clan. Kanagi and Hinano will remain in Kamihama to protect the city and the vulnerable former Magius members. Meanwhile, Livia, Yozuru, and Sudachi formally inform Kagome that they will be protecting her personally when she goes to observe the final battle, fearing she could be caught in the crossfire.<ref name='a2mc7'/>
* Kanagi coordinates defense efforts in Kamihama. She ensures the evacuation of vulnerable Magical Girls, focusing on Touka and Nemu. Kanagi stations herself at Crescent House to protect them, while Mitama remains at her shop.<ref name='a2mc7'/>
* Touka and Nemu, accompanied by Sakurako and later Kanagi, conduct research at the Chuo Ward library. They investigate historical records and city statistics, uncovering a pattern: incidents involving Magical Girls consistently fail to become public knowledge, a phenomenon they term a "Fantasy." They also research the legend of Tsuyu Mizuna and Chizuru, historical "Battle-Shamanesses" who were likely Magical Girls.<ref name='a2mc7'/>
* Touka visits her father in the Medical Center. He reveals he now believes in Magical Girls and, alongside her missing uncle Tasuke, plans to protect them from public exploitation when their existence is inevitably revealed.<ref name='a2mc7'/>

* In Kamihama, Nanaka learns from Akira and Meiyui that the Union and Promised Blood's final battle will occur in Futatsugi, with only Kimochi-chosen girls permitted to participate. Meiyui offers to arrange shelter in Takarazaki through her connections, and Nanaka, Akira, Kako, and Meiyui arrive and agree to help prepare for a local children's festival in exchange for lodging.<ref name='a2ac7'/>
* Meanwhile, Himena cleans a warehouse alone, frustrated by manual labor. She senses approaching Magical Girls and recognizes them from descriptions as Kamihama girls. Fearing exposure, she hides but accidentally knocks something over, and Nanaka's group discovers her. Outnumbered four to one, Himena panics. Nanaka attempts peaceful resolution, clarifying they are not Union members, but Himena refuses to believe her. Nanaka's group decides to retreat and have Meiyui alter Himena's memory of their meeting. Kako and Akira create an opening, and Meiyui touches Himena, successfully altering her memory.<ref name='a2ac7'/>
* San appears to check on Himena and reveals Meiyui's magic has a loophole. When asked, Himena's memory fully returns, and the two sides prepare to fight. The battle drags on with neither side gaining advantage. Himena, exhausted, formulates a risky plan and charges Meiyui, touching her with her broom and using synthesis to transfer Meiyui's own magic back at her, commanding her to forget the meeting. The spell takes hold, and Nanaka's group, now confused, believes they were simply retrieving supplies. They sense something wrong and decide to leave Takarazaki immediately.<ref name='a2ac7'/>
* Himena and San return to the community center, injured but victorious. Himena demonstrates her perfected magic on Shigure with the broom, and San theorizes Himena subconsciously infused her own magic into the broom through prolonged use. Himena confirms the theory by successfully synthesizing Sasha's magic into a dustpan. She celebrates, acknowledging everyone's help, and reflects that they are now ready for the next stage of their operation. Meanwhile, Nanaka senses a familiar magical presence and recognizes it as an enemy, but decides not to act, sensing the situation remains too unclear.<ref name='a2ac7'/>

* Shigure and Hagumu visit Mitsune, who has suffered a paralysis of her lower body after overusing her Doppel, similar to Nemu's condition. At the hospital, they see Touka, Nemu and Kanagi, who are aware of Mitsune and her condition. Back at the Neo-Magius base, the other members all insist they'd only made Mitsune use her Doppel once. Later that night, while she is alone, Mitsune regrets manipulating the election results, as she thinks of the demonstrations in Kamihama for a re-election.<ref name='a2mc7'/>
* Simultaneously, the Amane sisters face a separate crisis, as Tsukuyo calls Mifuyu and lets her know neither of them will be able to attend meetings. Their families, on opposing sides of Kamihama's East-West political feud, discover the twins have been secretly meeting. Both are essentially placed under house arrest, severing their contact.<ref name='a2mc7'/>
[[File:102803 shizuku puzzle.jpg|thumb|left]]
* Hinano, after a period of withdrawal, resolves to contribute to the Union's plan. She and Mifuyu guard Shizuku, whose portal magic is critical to the Union's operation in Futatsugi. Members of Promised Blood attack Shizuku's Kamihama residence, but Mifuyu and Hinano repel them.<ref name='a2mc7'/>

[[File:102801 yuna pray1.jpg|thumb]]
[[File:102801 yuna pray2.jpg|thumb]]
* That night of the deployment Yachiyo confirms the plan: Team Mikazuki, Momoko's team, and the Tokime Clan will travel to Futatsugi City via Shizuku's magic. Shizuku awaits their signal and in Futatsugi, Yuna solemnly recites the names of her fallen comrades, vowing to reclaim the blood they shed.<ref name='a2mc7'/>

* The Union and Tokime Clan move to confront Promised Blood in Futatsugi, while Kagome travels to the city under the protection of Yozuru, Sudachi, and Livia to document the event. She observes that Yuna chose this battlefield not only for its strategic value but to settle her grudge in the presence of her fallen comrades.<ref name='a2mc7'/>
* Before the battle, the members of Promised Blood reflect on their motivations, and Yuna vows to avenge the dead Magical Girls of Futatsugi and acquire all Kimochi Stones. Her subordinates, including Sakuya, Ranka, Hikaru, Ao, and Juri, each grapple with their own reasons for fighting, from a desire for vengeance to a twisted longing for peace through dominance.<ref name='a2mc7'/>
* The battle begins with a coordinated signal from Promised Blood. The Union and Tokime Clan's initial plan to capture Yuna fails when she reveals a backup force. Yuna exploits a loophole in the Kimochi's rules, deploying Magical Girls from Futatsugi who have no intent to acquire a Stone, allowing them to fight without being sent to a Labyrinth. This tactic gives Promised Blood a significant numerical advantage.<ref name='a2mc7'/>
* Yuna's strategy involves dividing the enemy forces using Futatsugi's terrain, hunting them down individually, and then herding them toward a central location for a final annihilation. The Union and Tokime Clan members find themselves isolated and pursued across the city.<ref name='a2mc7'/>
* Shizuka and Yuna clash over their opposing philosophies of leadership and sacrifice. Sakuya and Ryoko, formerly friends, fight with the understanding that one must kill the other. Juri battles Tsuruno, expressing that conflict is her fundamental nature. Ranka confronts Rena, her conflicted feelings about their past friendship causing her to ultimately let Rena escape. Ao, heavily influenced by her Kimochi, fights Yachiyo with a new, violent philosophy of achieving peace through preemptive domination. Iroha encounters Hikaru and reaffirms her resolve to end the conflict and save everyone.<ref name='a2mc7'/>

[[File:102802 pb triumph.jpg|thumb]]
* During the final battle in Futatsugi, Yuna orders Promised Blood to execute the wounded Union and Tokime Clan members by destroying the unfinished building they'd been cornered into. As Promised Blood deliver the final blows, Shizuku teleports the besieged forces to safety nearby, and then returns to Kamihama. Yuna realizes her plans to assassinate Shizuku in Kamihama, as well as the Union and Tokime forces in Futatsugi both failed.<ref name='a2mc7'/>
* The Union and Tokime Clan counterattack, and gain the upper hand on the battle. Yuna, with her forces cornered and desperate, absorbs the Kimochi Stones from Juri, Hikaru, and Ao, despite knowing the risk of being controlled. Yuna's transformation inspires Promised Blood to fight back again, including Ranka, who goes up against Momoko's team, as well as Sakuya, who goes against Ryoko. Asahi and Urara attempt to stop the latter, however the clash ultimately ends up killing Sakuya.<ref name='a2mc7'/>
* The members of the Union try to fight against and defend themselves against Yuna, however when she hears of Sakuya's death, the power of four Stones overwhelms her, and the Kimochi begin to erode her mind and body, making her go berserk as the Kimochi no longer agree with her.<ref name='a2mc7'/>
* Kagome, witnessing the battle, defies her protectors and rushes to the front lines to protect one of the lesser members of Promised Blood, where Yuna's uncontrolled attack gravely injures her. Iroha resolves to save Yuna alone and follows her into the catacombs beneath Futatsugi.<ref name='a2mc7'/>

'''Fifth Day:'''
* Inside the catacombs, Iroha connects with Yuna's consciousness through her own Kimochi Stone. She sees her mind being consumed by the Kimochi and she witnesses Yuna's and Futatsugi's past: the constant warfare in Futatsugi, the death of her mentor, her hatred for Kamihama's Magius, and her deep-seated guilt and grief. Yuna, in turn, sees Iroha's memories of her forgotten sister Ui and her unwavering resolve to save everyone.<ref name='a2mc7'/>
[[File:102804 yuna iroha3.jpg|thumb]]
* Iroha communicates directly with the Kimochi inside Yuna, assuring them she means no harm and will take them to the Automatic Purification System. The Kimochi release their hold on Yuna, and through this shared experience, Yuna finally understands Iroha's genuine nature. She chooses to trust Iroha personally, though she maintains her resentment toward Kamihama as a whole.<ref name='a2mc7'/>
* Immediately after the battle as others arrive into the catacombs, Yuna officially disbands Promised Blood and ends the vendetta against Kamihama. She explains to her followers that uniting all eight Kimochi Stones may be the key to their liberation and agrees to a temporary alliance with the Union and Tokime Clan. Yuna gives the Kimochi Stone of Opal to Juri, Pearl to Ao, and Aquamarine to Hikaru.
* Outside at dawn, Yuna and Iroha talk about Sakuya, and Yuna gives Iroha her Kimochi Stone of Garnet, trusting her to give it to Kanagi as atonement. Yuna departs from Iroha's group and goes back inside the catacombs with Promised Blood. She asks the others to leave her alone with Sakuya's body for a while and apologizes to her, promising to help Ao and everyone in Futatsugi as she would have wanted.<ref name='a2mc7'/>
* In Kamihama, Nayuta wakes troubled by the realization that her uncle has taken her father prisoner, likely to steal his research on Magical Girls. Lavi advises her to verify the truth rather than speculate, and Nayuta decides to confront her uncle directly rather than approach Touka first. Lavi privately resolves to free the professor herself.<ref name='a2mc7'/>
* In Futatsugi, Kagome awakens in the hospital, having survived her critical injuries with her mother in the room. She learns the conflict between the factions has ended, but new developments are dividing the Magical Girls.<ref name='a2mc7'/>
* Nayuta goes to confront her uncle in his office. He denies everything, claiming her father is simply hospitalized for tests due to exhaustion. Nayuta is escorted out, unconvinced.<ref name='a2mc7'/>
* Later, the Union and Tokime Clan members part ways with Promised Blood and return to Kamihama. Mitama uses her Coordination to heal the severely wounded, including Momoko, Rena, Kaede, Ryoko, and Asahi.<ref name='a2mc7'/>
* In the aftermath, Shizuku explains that her portal magic has weakened after she found her personal resolution last night, no longer needing to search for a place to belong. She can now only utilize it within Kamihama Ciy. Meanwhile at Suitoku Temple, the Tokime Clan also discover that Asahi's body is covered in older, severe scars, prompting an investigation into her origins.<ref name='a2mc7'/>
* Meanwhile, at the hospital in Futatsugi, Yuna waits for Urara to awake. Urara, revealed to have been an undercover investigator, is given permission to stay in Futatsugi.<ref name='a2mc7'/>
* At the Coordinator's caravan base, Lavi and Puella Care discuss the aftermath of the Promised Blood conflict.

Alexandra notes that with Iroha working to prevent conflict, Himena will now push the world toward the Awakening.<ref name='a2mc7'/>

'''Sixth Day:'''
* The next day, Nayuta meets with Mikage, who offers to question Touka directly while Nayuta listens through telepathy. Meanwhile, Lavi uses magic planted on a pen during previous hospital visits to locate the professor. When Mikage calls, Touka is shocked to learn about her uncle's confinement and immediately confronts her father. He admits he lied, claiming Tasuke has given up on his theory. Touka tells Nayuta only that the two men are now working together. Nayuta remains suspicious, and Lavi confirms the professor was in Touka's old hospital room and has already freed him.<ref name='a2mc7'/>

* After parting ways with Nayuta, Mikage goes to the Tomorrow Shop candy store in Sankyo Ward with Sudachi. They feel useless after failing to protect Kagome and wish they could become dependable adults. At the shop, a group of children from the West harass Mikage for being from the eastern Daito Ward. They cite news reports and parental warnings that label the East as dangerous and connected to criminals. The confrontation escalates when one child throws a rock, striking Mikage in the head. The elderly woman chases the children off and tends to Mikage's injury.<ref name='a2mc8'>Shown in [[Magia Record Main Story Arc 2 Chapter 8: Flowers Sprouting from the Remains of Dreams|Arc 2, Chapter 8: Flowers Sprouting from the Remains of Dreams]]</ref>
* Mitama and Kanagi arrive and witness this incident. Mitama, already filled with resentment towards the city for the ostracization she faced, confronts the children. She declares her hatred for the entire city and states she will no longer tolerate discrimination that impacts daily life. Kanagi reflects that the younger generation's perpetuation of these attitudes spells despair for Kamihama's future.<ref name='a2mc8'/>

[[File:102805 tasuke find.jpg|thumb]]
* Meanwhile, Nayuta receives a message from her father asking to meet in front of a coffee shop. She rushes to reunite with him, but then Touka arrives and demands her uncle return for an important meeting. Tasuke decides to go voluntarily, revealing he found documents proving his brother actually believes him. Nayuta pleads with him not to leave, but Touka blocks her path, reminding Nayuta she cannot transform. Unable to hurt her cousin, Nayuta lets her father go.<ref name='a2mc7'/>
* Before leaving, she mentions strange things happening in other towns, such as students in Yukuni know about Magical Girls and believe dangerous rumors. After Nayuta departs, Touka wonders aloud if her uncle is connected to something called "The Destruction."<ref name='a2mc7'/>
* That night, Himena's team goes to Mitsune's hospital room and Himena celebrates that their efforts to reveal the truth about Magical Girls are progressing well. San divides everyone into units to make contact with various groups. While Lil' Kyubey is talking to Kyubey, Himena interrupts them and chases after Lil' Kyubey, but he escapes. Kyubey notes that Kamihama continues to change and Himena invites Kyubey to come see for themselves. That night, San approaches Shizuka, Shigure and Hagumu approach Ao, and Miyuri approaches Kanagi.<ref name='a2mc7'/>
* At the meeting, Tasuke addresses the mayor and officials. Contrary to expectations, he declares that Magical Girls are nothing more than a delusion and that he was led astray by urban legends. Touka's father is horrified, asking what this means for Nayuta and Touka.<ref name='a2mc7'/>

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

'''Yozuru Episode:'''
* A rumor spreads among the Magical Girls of Kamihama City about Nemu's book. The Uwasa are said to still exist inside the book, though they lack the magic to affect the outside world.

** At Crescent House, Yachiyo confirms she has heard the rumor. Ui reveals the Memory Museum is real and the Uwasa truly do still exist inside Nemu's book.<ref name='batt1'/>
** At the Puella Care trailer, Livia confirms that by syncing their Soul Gem with Hiiragi Nemu, a Magical Girl can enter the Memory Museum. She warns there is risk involved, as forgotten memories are not necessarily happy ones. She agrees to help those who wish to enter.<ref name='batt1'/>
* Yozuru enters the Memory Museum to see for herself if it can help Magical Girls become stronger by returning to their roots. What she sees is painful: her former self, snarling and full of anger, shortly after her mother died.<ref name='batt1'/>
** In the memory, a Magical Girl confronts Yozuru about her selfishness, accusing her of never giving thanks and always causing problems. Yozuru acknowledges she is weak but refuses to be chained down, recalling her mother's words that being deprived of freedom is the greatest misfortune. She dissolves the team.<ref name='batt1'/>
** Livia appears, having heard about a weak Magical Girl with a terrible personality. She offers to recruit Yozuru as an apprentice. Yozuru refuses and leaves.<ref name='batt1'/>
** That night, Yozuru stumbles into a Witch's barrier while her legs are still paralyzed from Livia's adjustment. Unable to fight, she reflects on her weakness and realizes Livia saw through her completely. As she is about to die, Livia arrives with other Magical Girls to save her, demonstrating that friendship is a Coordinator's power.<ref name='batt1'/>
** Afterward, Yozuru admits her problem was not that she could not fight, but that she did not know what it meant to live strongly. Livia explains that if you cannot fight, you must figure out the best way to survive. Yozuru realizes Livia's words echo what her mother tried to teach her, but this time she is ready to accept them. She agrees to become Livia's apprentice.<ref name='batt1'/>

'''Sudachi Episode:'''
* Livia tells Sudachi that if she recalls her original resolution at the Memory Museum, she can grow as both a Magical Girl and an adjuster. Inside the book, Sudachi remembers herself right after the incident where a gunman broke into her classroom. Her classmates offered her as a sacrifice, but her wish caused everyone else to die. Afterward, she became afraid to choose anything.<ref name='batt2'>Shown in [[Magia Record Story Battle Museum Sudachi Sawa Episode|Battle Museum - Sudachi]]</ref>
** In the memory, Sudachi is fighting Witches because she was told it is a Magical Girl's mission. She is too weak to win and secretly hopes to die to atone. A pink Magical Girl recognizes her from the news and asks what she wished for. Sudachi runs away.<ref name='batt2'/>
** Later, Sudachi is on the verge of being killed by a Witch when Livia and her allies save her. Livia brings her to the trailer and explains she is a traveling adjuster. She recognizes Sudachi from the news and reveals that adjusters can sense when a Magical Girl wished for a curse. Livia herself made such a wish.<ref name='batt2'/>
** Livia confronts Sudachi about avoiding choices, explaining that not choosing is itself a choice. She argues that dying to atone helps no one, but living to save other Magical Girls might balance the scales. She offers Sudachi a little whiteboard to communicate and asks if she wants to become an adjuster. Sudachi agrees.<ref name='batt2'/>
** Livia visits Sudachi's mother and arranges for Sudachi to live in the trailer for training. There, Sudachi meets Yozuru, Livia's other apprentice. To Livia's surprise, Yozuru can understand Sudachi through telepathy while Livia cannot. Sudachi decides to live and atone by saving others, making this her true start.<ref name='batt2'/>

'''Kanagi Episode:'''
* Kanagi gathers Magical Girls from the East at Mitama's shop and announces she is stepping down as the Union's Eastern leader. The girls are shocked and demand an explanation. Kanagi explains that she sided with the Neo-Magius and tried to destroy Kamihama, and while they forgave her, she was never voted into leadership. She wants to pass the mantle to the next generation.<ref name='batt3'>Shown in [[Magia Record Story Battle Museum Kanagi Izumi Episode|Battle Museum - Kanagi]]</ref>
** Mitama asks how Kanagi became leader in the first place. Kanagi agrees to share what she saw at the Memory Museum.<ref name='batt3'/>

However, she also discovers that Eastern Magical Girls fight each other over territory instead of uniting. She tries to convince them to cooperate but is repeatedly rejected.<ref name='batt3'/>
** The turning point comes when Eastern Magical Girls severely wound a Western girl. Yachiyo and Mifuyu arrive to negotiate. When no one steps forward to represent the East, Kanagi declares she will become their leader. Despite her inexperience, she negotiates with Yachiyo and agrees to discuss terms later.<ref name='batt3'/>
** As leader, Kanagi faces harassment from veteran girls who provoke the West. She abandons diplomacy and uses force to dominate, leaving no room for the West to take advantage. She becomes recognized as the leader, but the Eastern girls feel she is overprotective and meddling. Kanagi accepts this, believing she can still keep them safe even if they do not understand her.<ref name='batt3'/>
** Back in the present, the girls are moved by her story but unanimously point at her when asked who should succeed her. They argue she is not scary, just awkward, and that she is doing her best to change. Kanagi agrees to keep her position for now, noting that someday the next generation will have to take over.<ref name='batt3'/>

'''Ren Episode:'''
* At the Memory Museum, Ren sees a nostalgic sight: her first attempt to end her life. As she fell from a height, she felt fear and made her wish: "I don't want to die." After becoming a Magical Girl, she learned that Witches cause people to hurt each other. She resolved to defeat all Witches and create a kind world. But she soon realized eliminating Witches would not remove malice from people's hearts, and she despaired, attempting suicide a second time. Rika saved her.<ref name='batt4'>Shown in [[Magia Record Story Battle Museum Ren Isuzu Episode|Battle Museum - Ren]]</ref>
** In the present, Ren's class is assigned a career survey. She realizes she has never had a dream to follow. She recalls her ideal of defeating all Witches but knows it never came to pass. She still wants to live, thanks to Rika, but is unsure of her future.<ref name='batt4'/>

** At home, Ren sees a news report about rising suicide rates among students. She realizes that if she had succeeded, she would be just another statistic. She wonders if that thought is arrogant.<ref name='batt4'/>
** That night, unable to sleep, Ren calls Rika just to hear her voice. Rika keeps her company until she falls asleep. In a dream, Ren sees a world where she died and nothing changed, but she also sees kindness she had not noticed before.<ref name='batt4'/>
* She wakes understanding that Rika taught her kindness, which allowed her to see kindness from others. When she wished not to die, she was hoping the world was not as cold as she knew it. She just wanted a simple, gentle ordinary life. Now she wants to share that kindness with others who are in despair. She tells Rika her future path: to help people who feel pain over being alive. Rika supports her.<ref name='batt4'/>

'''Nanaka Episode:'''
* At the Memory Museum, Nanaka recalls her encounter with Kyubey and how becoming a Magical Girl altered her destiny. The Kashin-style school of flower arrangement, preserved by her family for generations, was usurped by senior disciples after her father fell ill. Her bedridden father drilled into her: "Take back the school."<ref name='batt5'>Shown in [[Magia Record Story Battle Museum Nanaka Tokiwa Episode|Battle Museum - Nanaka]]</ref>
** In the memory, Nanaka summons Sasao, the most diligent of her father's disciples, who nevertheless joined the betrayal. Nanaka reveals she now possesses power from her contract and has confirmed her physical abilities surpass human limits. She asks Sasao why she betrayed the family.<ref name='batt5'/>
** Sasao explains that Tanito, the most senior disciple, led the betrayal. Many opposed him at first, but one by one they switched sides until Sasao was isolated. Tanito made threats, and Sasao eventually gave in out of fear. Nanaka thanks her and resolves to confront Tanito.<ref name='batt5'/>
** Nanaka confronts Tanito but finds him unresponsive, barely capable of conversation. She suspects he is under a Witch's Kiss and that the true enemy is the Witch behind him. However, this assumption proves flawed. It took time and many allies to uncover that the real culprit was hiding behind the Witch.<ref name='batt5'/>
** Nanaka also realizes Kyubey is her enemy. That moment marked the true beginning of her revenge.<ref name='batt5'/>
** In the present, Nanaka gathers Akira, Kako, and Meiyui in a hotel room. She asks for their help with an acquaintance in trouble.

They agree to help.<ref name='batt5'/>

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

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

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

'''Prologue:'''
* During Kagome's hospitalization, Urara visits and announces her departure from Promised Blood, stating her true allegiance was to the group Folklore of Zero. She explains that her actions to protect others would not alter the future her group foresaw, which was dependent on whether the existence of Magical Girls became public knowledge. Livia arrives and offers for Puella Care to assist Kagome with her chronicling duties as an apology for her injury, which Kagome gratefully accepts.<ref name='a2mc8'/>
** Urara wakes in a Futatsugi hospital, reflecting on her failure to protect Sakuya and the revelation that Yuna knew she was a spy all along. After being visited by Lavi, who urges her to draw her own line with Promised Blood before leaving, Urara is discharged and attempts to depart quietly but is pulled into faction disputes. Yuna privately releases her from any further obligation.<ref name='tourara'>Shown in [[Magia Record Story A Secret Farewell Party to Urara|A Secret Farewell Party to Urara]]</ref>
** Later that day, at Crescent House, Lil' Kyubey attempts to communicate a warning to Iroha and the others. Through a series of questions, Yachiyo deduces the warning was related to the Automatic Purification System, but the specific details of the threat remain unclear.<ref name='a2mc8'/>

'''Neo-Magius & Folklore of Zero Branches:'''
* Lavi and Alexandra discuss the current situation, as Alexandra could not telepathically communicate with Asahi as she was still unconscious. The Kamihama Magia Union has acquired all eight Kimochi Stones, and the Automatic Purification System is poised for activation. Alexandra resolves to confront Himena to convince her to stop fighting, believing hope from the Tokime Clan could change her mind. Livia arrives, acting as a substitute chronicler for the injured Kagome.<ref name='a2mc8'/>
** Livia recounts an argument between Tasuke and his brother, Touka's father. Tasuke's brother has invested in a political career to find a way to save Magical Girls, but Tasuke now insists that publicly revealing Magical Girls is a fatal mistake that will only lead to their destruction. He claims the only option is to prolong their lives.<ref name='a2mc8'/>
** Tasuke later meets with Touka and Nemu. They reveal they know his hypothesis but refuse to accept resignation. Driven by their genius and curiosity, they intend to overcome the "insurmountable wall" of destruction, and Tasuke vows to stop them.<ref name='a2mc8'/>
** Nayuta waits anxiously for her father, and Lavi and Livia are present when Tasuke arrives. He explains his long absence: his research led him to a horrifying hypothesis that if the existence of Magical Girls becomes public knowledge, it will cause widespread despair and lead to their ruin. He hid this truth to protect Nayuta from giving up hope. He reveals the current conflict in Kamihama is an unintended experiment to test this hypothesis.<ref name='a2mc8'/>
** Lavi confirms she has been working with Tasuke all along to monitor the situation and ensure Nayuta's safety. Nayuta is devastated, feeling her entire friendship with Lavi was a lie. The emotional shock causes her to faint and release her Doppel.<ref name='a2mc8'/>
** After Nayuta recovers, Tasuke and Lavi leave her a choice. They invite her to join Folklore of Zero in Yukuni to observe the hypothesis' verification from the sidelines, or to stay home and watch the outcome without interference. They apologize for their deception but affirm their genuine care for her.<ref name='a2mc8'/>
** Nayuta decides to go with them, however as they prepare to leave, they receive a message from Touka. She announces that she and Nemu have finalized a plan to reveal Magical Girls to the world using the Rumor of the Eternal Sakura and invite everyone to watch. Tasuke realizes he must postpone their departure to witness this final, critical event.<ref name='a2mc8'/>

* Himena and San, Miyuri, Hagumu, and Shigure bond over their shared emotional wounds and their desire to change. They believe their collective effort to spread Magical Girl Supremacy is their greatest strength. The group's covert operations progress favorably. They successfully manipulate the Tokime Clan's Head Family and recruit Ao Kasane from Promised Blood. Alexandra reveals she has located the operational radio telescope in Hokuyo Ward, which they plan to use to broadcast Himena's voice across the city.<ref name='a2mc8'/>
** Himena had previously questioned Livia about the Endless Mirrors Labyrinth, specifically its property of creating copies of those who enter. She is disappointed to learn that these copies cannot leave the Labyrinth and are difficult to control, making them unsuitable for her synthesis ability. Livia also warned Himena that the historical east-west division in Kamihama is basically a ticking timebomb.<ref name='a2mc8'/>
** San pressures Himena to master her ability to synthesize with substances, not just people, as it is crucial for their strategy. Shigure informs Himena that she captured a Mirrors clone of Mitsune, hoping to use it for synthesis experiments. Himena declines, having abandoned the idea of using copies, and decides instead to synthesize her ability with the radio telescope and the unique magic of Meiyui Chun, believing this combination will allow her to "change all the rules."<ref name='a2mc8'/>
** Alexandra confronts Himena, pleading with her to abandon the plan and join forces with Iroha instead. She argues that using and manipulating so many people is wrong and that the plan could get them all killed. Himena refuses, stating her love for Hiko and her ideals are non-negotiable. Faced with an ultimatum to choose between her or the Neo-Magius, Himena chooses the latter. Alexandra leaves the group, warning Himena that the Neo-Magius' plan will kill her. Himena declares she is willing to become a slaughterer for her cause, blaming the people around her for making her this way.<ref name='a2mc8'/>

'''Tokime Clan Branch:'''
* Yozuru observes the Tokime in behalf of Kagome. At Suitoku Temple, Shizuka announces the clan’s decision to ally with the Kamihama Magia Union and Promised Blood. She resolves not to force the Tokime Clan's philosophy onto others, despite her personal disagreement with Yuna's methods. The injured members, Ryoko and Asahi, are in recovery. Shizuka, Sunao, and Chiharu decide to travel to the Tokime Village to research Asahi's branch family and investigate the origin of her scars.<ref name='a2mc8'/>
** At the temple, Ryoko grapples with the guilt of killing Sakuya. A conversation with Asahi about the dignity of life gives Ryoko a new purpose: to honor Sakuya's memory and guide her soul to Nirvana by living a life without regret. Meanwhile, Asahi reveals to Chika that her scars are "lessons" that "predators cannot be saved," but avoids further explanation. Chika senses a deep loneliness in her.<ref name='a2mc8'/>
** Shizuka, Sunao, and Chiharu return to the Tokime Village, where Shizuka collapses from exhaustion and stress, overwhelmed by the evils she witnessed outside the village. Her mother warns that her new ambition to actively lead people onto a path of righteousness, rather than support them from the shadows, will inevitably lead to more conflict. The group learns that Asahi's family, the Miura line, originated from a branch family in a village now incorporated into Yukuni.<ref name='a2mc8'/>

* The trio travels to Yukuni City. They discover the local population is aware of Magical Girls and Witches. A gang of students soon confronts them, accusing Magical Girls of attracting Witches and being evil creatures destined to become monsters themselves. They reveal they are responsible for Asahi's scars and threaten the trio with violence. Shizuka nearly attacks them in a rage over the torture of Asahi, but Sunao and Chiharu restrain her.<ref name='a2mc8'/>
** Back at Suitoku Temple, Asahi confesses the truth to the others. In Yukuni, public knowledge of the Magical Girl System has bred widespread fear and hostility. Magical Girls are hunted and tormented, reducing their numbers to only four. Asahi then reveals her true allegiance is to Folklore of Zero, an observation group consisting of the four remaining Magical Girls from Yukuni.<ref name='a2mc8'/>
** Despite this revelation, Shizuka does not cast Asahi out, trusting her deeply and considering her family. Asahi nevertheless chooses to leave the Tokime Clan to avoid causing internal discord. Before departing, she tells Shizuka that the Tokime Clan's pure pride gave her hope, but she now fears Shizuka is on the verge of being "engulfed by the world's evils." This conversation solidifies Shizuka's resolve that she must teach people righteousness and actively fight against evil.<ref name='a2mc8'/>

'''Alina Branch:'''
* Alina and Karin journey deeper inside the Endless Mirrors Labyrinth. Alina communicates with Mikoto, who reveals she is the consciousness of the Witch Endless Mirrors. Mikoto explains she was a Magical Girl who used self-suggestion magic to cope with a miserable home life. When she began to turn into a Witch, her self-suggestion broke, flooding her with negative emotions. In that moment, she resonated with Mitama Yakumo's wish to "destroy Kamihama." To survive, Mikoto implanted her persona and memories into another Magical Girl, Hanna Sarasa, and has since transferred between hosts like a parasite once more, reaching Alina. Gathering energy from the Witch Eve gave her the power to manifest fully.<ref name='a2mc8'/>
** Mikoto asks Alina to join her in destroying everything. In return, Alina demands her lost memories back. Mikoto complies, and Alina recalls her original artistic philosophy: humanity unconsciously desires destruction, and she intended to provide a magnificent, global masterpiece of annihilation. Alina rejects Karin's "Reformation Project" and enthusiastically embraces Mikoto's "Evolution Project" to bring about destruction. The two hide themselves deeper within the Labyrinth, leaving Karin on her own.<ref name='a2mc8'/>

'''Union & Promised Blood Branches:'''
* Sudachi observes the Kamihama Magia Union for Kagome. They're in a state of uncertainty due to a proposed alliance with Promised Blood, and a deeper issue of distrust between the Magical Girls of Kamihama's east and west districts. Magical Girls from the east, including Mito, Seika, and Reira, express their apprehension about the alliance and their distrust of the west, citing incidents of violence and social ostracization. Kanagi and Mitama acknowledge the problem and seek to understand the eastern members' feelings.<ref name='a2mc8'/>
** The Union holds a meeting where the internal discord becomes clear. Eastern and western members, as well as those from the south, voice strong opposition to the alliance with Promised Blood. Iroha and Yachiyo recognize that mending the east-west rift is a prerequisite for any successful alliance. Iroha attempts to contact Yuna to provide an explanation to the Union, but Yuna delays her response due to similar internal turmoil within Futatsugi.<ref name='a2mc8'/>
** In Touka's lab, Iroha asks what the two have been up to. Nemu reports that Sana's picture books have been selling well, but Touka's attempts to reveal information about magic in the internet have failed to gain any traction.<ref name='a2mc8'/>
** Yachiyo, Mifuyu, Mikage, and Sudachi visit an elderly shopkeeper in the west. The shopkeeper shares a local legend about the historical figures Tsuyu Mizuna and Chizuru, who led a rebellion but later parted ways, causing the people to split into the eastern and western factions. This legend is presented as a possible ancient origin of the city's divide. During this visit, a child from the west who previously assaulted Mikage apologizes, and Mikage forgives him, demonstrating a potential for reconciliation.<ref name='a2mc8'/>
** Iroha, Yachiyo, and others investigate the archives of the Ryushin Dojo, searching for historical documents on Tsuyu and Chizuru. They find only a single document that confirms the historical conflict but provides no reason for the schism.<ref name='a2mc8'/>
** Around this time, Karin returns from being missing within the Endless Mirrors to Kanagi's workplace. Kanagi tells them of everyone's location and Karin rushes to go to the dojo herself. There, she reveals that the Witch of the Endless Mirrors was a Magical Girl named Mikoto Sena, who possessed Alina. Alina, now with her memories restored, remains missing within the Mirrors. Yachiyo recalls being told that Mitama theorized that the identity of Endless Mirrors was a Magical Girl named Mikoto.<ref name='a2mc8'/>
** While Kanagi works at her maid cafe, Momoko visits her to relay information from Karin. Concurrently, Mikage delivers the same news to Mitama, who is deeply troubled, as the date Sena Mikoto became a Witch coincides with the day she made her own wish to destroy Kamihama. Later that night, she confesses this to Kanagi, believing her wish is an inescapable curse that will inevitably be fulfilled.<ref name='a2ac8'>Shown in [[Magia Record Another Story Arc 2 Chapter 8: Final Trigger|Arc 2, Another Story Chapter 8: Final Trigger]]</ref>
** Around the same time, Kanagi and Mitama are separately approached by the Neo-Magius members San and Miyuri. They are invited to a meeting. Ao also receives an invitation and encourages Kanagi to attend. Kanagi agrees, reasoning that Mitama will likely join the group regardless.<ref name='a2ac8'/>

* The Union holds a full assembly and Yachiyo addresses the group, advocating for reconciliation between east and west to ensure their collective survival. She uses the example of Mikage's forgiveness as a model for moving forward.<ref name='a2mc8'/>
** Yuna arrives and deliberately provokes the assembly by openly stating her enduring hatred for Kamihama and detailing her past strategies to divide them. This inflammatory speech causes an uproar and nearly sparks a battle, which Yachiyo and Mifuyu manage to subdue. Yuna then clarifies that her actions were a calculated performance to unite the Union against a common enemy—herself—thus bypassing their internal suspicions. She formally declares that Promised Blood will ally only with Iroha personally, not the entire Union, and reveals she has already given her Kimochi Stone to Kanagi as an apology.<ref name='a2mc8'/>
** This resolution, though unorthodox, is accepted and allows the cooperative framework to proceed. Later, Kanagi and Mitama travel together to a meeting with the Neo-Magius. Kanagi expresses her own growing despair over the entrenched East-West conflict in Kamihama, citing the recent incident where a child threw a rock at Mikage. Later at a cafe, Mitama and Kanagi meet San, Miyuri, Shizuka, and Ao. San outlines the Neo-Magius' goal of Magical Girl supremacy, which would position them as gods above humanity. Himena then also reveals herself to be alive, and explains her plan to achieve supremacy.<ref name='a2ac8'/>
** Kanagi attempts to read Himena's mind but is blocked by the presence of Hiko in her consciousness, confirming Himena is not insane but calculating. Impressed by the group's resolve and seeing a path to her own goals, Kanagi agrees to join. The four new members—Kanagi, Mitama, Shizuka, and Ao—declare their allegiance to the Neo-Magius.<ref name='a2ac8'/>
** Later that night, Kanagi gets a call from her father and learns that her younger brother, Sougetsu was severely beaten by a group of men from a western-affiliated organization that had previously sabotaged the eastern candidate in the mayoral election. The police show a suspicious lack of interest in the case.<ref name='a2ac8'/>
** Ranka also meets up with Momoko's team in the arcade and makes amends. She reveals she intends to show Yuna the places Sakuya frequented soon. In the aftermath, Iroha and Ui begin preparations to move out of their secret bunker and back to Mikazuki Villa, though they cannot find Lil' Kyubey.<ref name='a2mc8'/>
** Following Yuna’s decision to ally with the Kamihama Magia Union, the members of Ryuugasaki, led by Juri, strongly oppose the alliance. Juri, bored and lacking motivation without a fight, decides to reignite conflict by proposing a civil war between Ryuugasaki and Yuna’s faction, Torayamachi.<ref name='a2mc8'/>

* Yuna, attempting to manage her student council duties, learns of the skirmish. She recognizes the deep divisions within Futatsugi and her own role in fostering them. When Iroha contacts her for an explanation to give the Union, Yuna delays her response, prioritizing the internal crisis.<ref name='a2mc8'/>
** Yuna calls a meeting with the leaders of Futatsugi’s districts: Juri of Ryuugasaki and Ao of Janomiya. The meeting fails to reach a consensus, with Ryuugasaki members vehemently against trusting Kamihama. Juri proposes a representative match: if she wins, the war continues; if Yuna wins, it ends. Yuna reluctantly agrees to the fight in a desperate attempt to unify the city.<ref name='a2mc8'/>
** As the sisters prepare to battle the following day, Ao plots to kill them both in their weakened state to seize power for herself. In the arcade, Ranka overhears Ao’s plan and is alarmed by her increasingly extreme and dangerous mindset.<ref name='a2mc8'/>
* Heading to Kamihama, Urara accidentally stops at Sakuya's former school and witnesses her juniors' victory, overhearing how deeply Sakuya impacted others. Meeting with Lavi's group, she remains uncertain about drawing her line until she hears news of a duel between Yuna and Juri over Promised Blood's alliance. She decides to return to Futatsugi one last time.<ref name='tourara'/>
** Meanwhile in Kamihama, Kanagi learns that her workplace, the maid cafe, has been receiving threats not to employ anyone from Daito Ward, and that another cafe was forced to close due to such attacks.<ref name='a2ac8'/>
** This series of events become Kanagi's final breaking point. She tracks down and violently assaults the members of the organization responsible, leaving many in critical condition.<ref name='a2ac8'/>
** That night, in the aftermath, Kanagi confronts her Doppel, which represents her inner self. It convinces her that she has crossed a point of no return and that true equality for Kamihama can only be achieved through total destruction. Kanagi fully accepts this path, resolving to become a true villain to break the city's cycle of conflict, even if it means hurting those she loves.<ref name='a2ac8'/>

* The police investigate the brutal attack on the saboteur group's base, with the only lead being insufficient to track Kanagi.<ref name='a2ac8'/>
** At the catacombs, the fight between Yuna and Juri escalates. Yuna pleads her case to the onlookers, explaining that she still holds a grudge against Kamihama but trusts Iroha’s goal to save all Magical Girls. Just as Ao moves to attack the exhausted sisters, Iroha arrives unexpectedly at the Futatsugi catacombs.<ref name='a2mc8'/>
** Iroha explains she came to pay her respects to the Magical Girls who died in the Bloody Tragedy. She formally apologizes for the Magius’ actions and asks for forgiveness, promising to carry the souls of Futatsugi’s lost girls with her into a future where all Magical Girls can be saved. Her sincere words move the members of Promised Blood and effectively resolve the immediate conflict.<ref name='a2mc8'/>
** After Iroha departs, Ranka informs Yuna and Juri of Ao’s murderous intent. They confront Ao, who admits she would betray them if she felt they could no longer protect her. The group decides to monitor Ao closely.<ref name='a2mc8'/>
** Iroha's visit makes Urara realize her lingering regret is for Sakuya and remembers her request: if anything happened, Urara should take one of her certificates from Yuna's house as a memento. She decides this is her line to draw.<ref name='tourara'/>
** She spends the rest of the day visiting places filled with memories, then arrives at Yuna's house to discover the group has been secretly planning a farewell party. They drag her shopping, and when word accidentally spreads, nearly all of Promised Blood arrives to help and insists on attending.<ref name='tourara'/>

[[File:102902 suicide juri.jpg|thumb]]
* After school, Yuna cannot locate Juri and fears she has gone to attack Janomiya. She eventually finds Juri at their old base, about to shatter her own Soul Gem. Juri reveals she believes her violent nature is a threat to the new, peaceful era and that Futatsugi would be better off without her. Yuna convinces her to live by giving her a new purpose: to help save Ao.<ref name='a2mc8'/>
** Yuna and Juri visit the graves of Ryo and Ikumi, where Hinano is also present. She states she does not mourn them but thanks them, as their deaths proved the Union also suffered loss, which helped convince her faction to ally. Hinano takes offense at this, and Yuna promises the Union her support, though she clarifies she cannot fully bear the weight of their deaths. Yuna makes Juri promise not to die until they save Ao.<ref name='a2mc8'/>
** The farewell party for Urara begins. After performing a juggling act, Urara finally reveals her true purpose: she came for Sakuya's memento. Inside a certificate tube, she finds a letter Sakuya left, expressing worry that Urara might leave quietly and hope that she would instead connect with Yuna and the others, assuring her that her place was with them.<ref name='tourara'/>
** Moved, Urara receives a farewell board signed by everyone and departs on good terms. Back with Folklore of Zero, Lavi praises her for drawing her line. Urara admits she still wants to believe magical girls can be saved, despite knowing the fate that awaits them.<ref name='tourara'/>

====The Inheritors of Our Souls====

[[File:Bg adv 24015.jpg|thumb]]
* Kagome wakes in the hospital and learns she is being discharged today. A pencil mascot of Aru speaks to her for the first time, explaining she wants to investigate Jeanne d'Arc together.<ref name='inh'>Shown in [[Magia Record Story The Inheritors of Our Souls|The Inheritors of Our Souls]]</ref>
** Kagome meets Torte inside her own mind. She introduces herself as a girl from 15th-century France who entered Kagome's consciousness through a place called the Ark of Feelings. She wants to learn how Jeanne d'Arc is remembered in the future. Kagome goes to the library but finds no books about Jeanne d'Arc. She visits Crescent House to greet the members of Mikazuki and while Iroha, Yachiyo and Ui remember Jeanne's name, Felicia and the others do not. The sky suddenly turns pitch black, a purple moon appears, and even the network goes down. Kagome is pulled into the Ark of Feelings.<ref name='inh'/>
** In the Ark, Kagome meets with Torte, Pernelle, Nicholas, many of Darc's allies and even Darc herself. After facing the still-Magical Girl version of Isabeau, made possible through an offshoot Mirror Witch Labyrinth that connected to Isabeau around 1400. Torte makes a contract with Cube to preserve Darc's legacy. A new pen appears, which she delivers to Kagome’s past self through a dream. She destroys the mirror, ending the time paradox, but sends the pen to Kagome through her wish.<ref name='inh'/>
** Returning to the present day, Kagome wakes in the hospital again. The nurse tells her she is being discharged today. She has no memory of the journey. She goes to the library and researching Jeanne d'Arc, she reads that after Jeanne's death, France indeed won victory after victory against England.<ref name='inh'/>
*** In 1449, Charles VII recaptured Rouen.<ref name='inh'/>
*** In 1450, he ordered a retrial.<ref name='inh'/>

*** The Praguerie rebellion of 1440 was quickly suppressed when Dauphin Louis surrendered. He later became King Louis XI and named two daughters Jeanne in her honor.<ref name='inh'/>
** Kagome visits Crescent House and notices her interview records have increased. They contain names of Magical Girls she does not know: Pernelle, Melissa, Elisa, Liz, and Jeanne d'Arc. The handwriting is hers and her mechanical pencil has an Aru charm, which makes Kagome confused, as she has no memory of buying it. Kagome reads the records alone, which tell the story of her journey. She cannot fully believe it, but she feels the feelings written there are real. Sana suggests she give her collection of Magical Girl interviews a name, and Kagome decides to name it Magia Record.<ref name='inh'/>

==Part 7==
Part 7 encompasses part of [[Magia Record Main Story Arc 2 Chapter 8: Flowers Sprouting from the Remains of Dreams|Chapter 8]], all the way to the end of [[Magia Record Main Story Arc 2 Chapter 12: Tying The Eternal Coloring|Chapter 12]], including the epilogue of Arc 2.

'''First Day:'''
* The day of the gathering arrives. Yachiyo notes it is unusual for Lil' Kyubey to be missing for multiple days. As the groups prepare to unite the eight Kimochi Stones, Momoko calls with troubling news that Mitama and Kanagi have disappeared. Similar disappearances are reported across all factions, with Shizuka, Ao, and other lower-rank members also missing.<ref name='a2mc8'/>

[[File:102909 stone gather.jpg|thumb]]
* At Seaside Park in Minaminagi, the remaining members of the Kamihama Magia Union, Tokime Clan, and Promised Blood gather. Despite the absences, they proceed with their plan with the five present Kimochi. Iroha calls upon the Kimochi to entrust her with their Stones, but as she receives them, the Kimochi suddenly go berserk and attack, specifically targeting Ui. Ui senses the Kimochi are in pain.<ref name='a2mc8'/>
* Before the situation becomes dire, Kanagi, Mitama, Ao, and Shizuka arrive and subdue the rampaging Kimochi. Ui senses something wrong with Kamihama City, even stopping Hinano from using her Doppel against the Kimochi. After their defeat, Kyubey appears and reveals he has been inside the Automatic Purification System's core, gradually taking control. He now controls the system's force field and can turn the Doppel phenomenon on and off at will. It also reveals Lil' Kyubey had been interfering, and as Lil' Kyubey returns to Iroha, he says he'll keep observing him. Kyubey explains Ui is the only one who can reclaim the system, as she is the origin of Eve and can control the Purification System and the Kimochi.<ref name='a2mc8'/>
[[File:102909 neomagus3.jpg|thumb]]
* With this knowledge, the group realizes they still have all eight Kimochi Stones present and Ui can use them to enter the system. However, Kanagi, Mitama, Ao, and Shizuka reveal they have formed a new alliance with the Neo-Magius. The main five members of the Neo-Magius appear, with Himena revealing she'd faked her death, and declare their goal for Magical Girl Supremacy, aiming to rule over humans while maintaining equality among Magical Girls. They have tree of the eight Kimochi Stones, with Mitama also claiming the Garnet Pinky while Iroha holds the other four.<ref name='a2mc8'/>
[[File:102909 iroha mikage3.jpg|thumb]]
* Mitama reveals her wish was always for Kamihama's destruction, and she no longer sees reason to hold back despite seeing Mikage's wish while coordinating her. Kanagi believes becoming a common enemy will unite the city's people. Ao admits she never truly believed she could escape being exploited and decided to rule instead. Shizuka argues that guiding humans away from evil requires Diviners to rule over them.<ref name='a2mc8'/>
* The remaining Magical Girls are horrified and Chiharu and Sunao refuse to follow Shizuka's path. Mikage vows to bring Mitama back. The groups realize the Neo-Magius intends to prove Magical Girl superiority by driving humans into a corner, potentially repeating the Wings of the Magius' actions.<ref name='a2mc8'/>
* Later that evening, at the Rumor of the Eternal Sakura in Hokuyo Ward, Kagome arrives to find Touka, Nemu, the four Folklore of Zero members, Nayuta, and Tasuke. Touka and Nemu announce they will use their lives to spread the truth about Magical Girls. They send a message to Ui, explaining their plan requires her, Kagome, and Iroha to live on until the promised time.<ref name='a2mc8'/>
[[File:102909 toka nemu2.jpg|thumb]]
* With Sakurako's guidance, Touka and Nemu assume their positions, transform and their bracelets, punishment for their past sins, explode. They're sent to the hospital, where Touka's father screams in grief upon seeing them. At Crescent House, Sakurako confirms to Ui that the two are still alive but refuses to reveal their location.<ref name='a2mc8'/>

'''Second Day:'''
* At Suitoku Temple, Iroha's redistributed her Kimochi Stones to her allies. She keeps Sapphire Lips for herself, gives Aquamarine Heel to Yuna, Opal Head to Juri, and Diamond Hair to Chiharu. They've realized that as long as the Kimochi are in their bracelet forms, Kyubey can't rile them up, so they should be careful when passing them to others. However it also appears that the Kimochi aren't limited to the twelve select girls anymore either.<ref name='a2mc9'>Shown in [[Magia Record Main Story Arc 2 Chapter 9: The Labyrinth of Light|Arc 2, Chapter 9: The Labyrinth of Light]]</ref>
* Yuna announces she will return to Futatsugi for the holiday to handle school and money matters. She learns Ao has gone back there too and orders reserves to watch her. Chiharu and Sunao discuss contacting Shizuka, who read their message but did not reply. Sunao mentions the picture book Sana drew for her and Sana confirms she made it to offer Shizuka a new perspective on good and evil.<ref name='a2mc9'/>
* Meanwhile, Neo-Magius members meet separately. Himena confirms they still plan to use the radio telescope to tell all of Kamihama about Magical Girls, but too many enemies nearby prevent them from acting right away. San understands the delay, and Himena feels excited because Promised Blood now faces money troubles that force them back to Futatsugi, giving Neo-Magius a perfect chance to weaken them further. Hagumu worries that the telescope has security set by Touka in the past, so any early warning could let the other side strike first. Shigure thinks going public already might have been a mistake if they cannot move quickly, but Himena insists that Neo-Magius will attack first. Miyuri cheers the progress toward earning respect for Magical Girls and turning San into a god, but San quickly stops her because Shigure and Hagumu only know about revealing Magical Girls to the public, not the harsher steps Himena now plans. Shizuka privately decides the plan makes sense even if it causes damage, since she views Kamihama as full of evil under a bad leader; she believes they must destroy that evil first to set the stage for the Tokime Clan to guide everyone toward goodness, and she even considers overthrowing Himena early to make her own clan the saviors. Himena keeps sending messages to Alexandra that go unread, begging her to reply.<ref name='a2mc9'/>

'''Third Day:'''
* While Shigure and Hagumu live their daily lives, Shigure messages Hagumu with worry about making people believe the telescope broadcast, and Hagumu realizes she knows no details either. Miyuri asks San if they really must hide the full telescope plan from Hagumu and Shigure. San admits it feels hard but explains the group's plans have shifted to forcing supremacy through extreme actions that would drive Hagumu and Shigure away if they learned the truth. Miyuri wonders if San truly accepts how this could ruin her ties to her village and youth association, but San replies she came prepared for those relationships to change and plans to become a benevolent god who protects people even if Himena turns into a destructive one. She blames Himena’s sudden harsh turn on terror over losing Alexandra, the only person besides the deceased Hiko who truly cared for her.<ref name='a2mc9'/>

* Nayuta, Tasuke, Lavi, Asahi, Alexandra, and Urara arrive in Yukuni City. Nayuta reflects on the apparent deaths of Touka and Nemu, uncertain if their plan to reveal Magical Girls will lead to salvation or more misfortune.<ref name='a2mc9'/>
* Upon arriving in Yukuni, Lavi warns the group to be cautious, as the city's students are hostile toward Magical Girls. Their fears are confirmed when Nayuta is suddenly kidnapped by a student group called the Eradication Faction, led by Kurara, Urara's former partner.<ref name='a2mc9'/>
* During Nayuta's captivity, Kurara and the other students confront Nayuta. They accuse Lavi and her friends of causing numerous deaths and mental breakdowns among the student body in the past. They claim that after the Magical Girls left, the city became peaceful, and they view their return with Nayuta as a sign of renewed danger.<ref name='a2mc9'/>
* After Nayuta's rescue, Lavi and the others rescue Nayuta and retreat to a guesthouse, which is revealed to be Lavi's family home. Tasuke explains that he previously used this location as a base to write his book and research Magical Girls.<ref name='a2mc9'/>
* Nayuta learns the full story of what happened in Yukuni. Lavi, Asahi, and Alexandra attempted to reveal the existence of Magical Girls to gain understanding and comfort for their tragic fate. Initially successful, their actions soon led to a chain of misfortunes, including student deaths from a Witch, a separate accident, and an avalanche. The public turned on them, blaming every disaster on the Magical Girls. Despite Tasuke's efforts to help them regain trust, the situation deteriorated. The Magical Girls that remained alive were driven out of the city after an incident where they "destroyed everyone's spirits."<ref name='a2mc9'/>
* At her home, Tsukasa is frustrated that her father has confined her since learning about her relationship with Tsukuyo. She decides she has waited long enough to act and Tsukuyo messages her about Promised Blood heading home to Futatsugi for the holiday, urging her to help the Union now. Take visits and shares that their boss wants to wait for things to calm down before letting Tsukasa out freely. Tsukasa thanks him and promises his favorite dinner as repayment. She reflects that Touka and Nemu always pushed harsh methods yet genuinely risked their lives for Magical Girl liberation, while she and Tsukuyo have only leaned on others.<ref name='a2mc9'/>
* That night, Nayuta discusses the events with her father. Tasuke reveals his hypothesis that the universe itself may have a "will" or an "immune system" that actively works to suppress the truth about Magical Girls to protect the energy cycle they fuel. He theorizes that the misfortune in Yukuni and the current conflict in Kamihama are manifestations of this cosmic self-cleansing, a force that eliminates threats to the system. He sent Lavi's group to observe Kamihama to test this theory, fearing that revealing Magical Girls will only lead to despair.<ref name='a2mc9'/>

'''Fourth Day:'''
* Iroha and Ui visit the hospital hoping to see Touka and Nemu, but staff allow no visitors. Mifuyu explains that the bracelets were meant to kill them on activation, yet they survived because their Soul Gems stayed intact. Ui asks if they will recover, and Iroha hopes so but admits confusion over why they stay unconscious. Mifuyu decides to store their Soul Gems in Touka’s secure private room for regular purification since distance would mean their bodies would die and worsen their condition. She asks Iroha and Ui to check on them sometimes because her own Endless Mirrors investigation and other duties might keep her away. They spot an old instruction manual Touka wrote to help Nemu manage her web novels and sales which reminds Iroha of Sana’s new picture book for Shizuka, and she suggests using the app’s gift feature to send it digitally so Shizuka might actually read it.<ref name='a2mc9'/>
* After learning the truth about Yukuni City, Nayuta reflects on Tasuke's hypothesis that a cosmic "will of the universe" actively suppresses the revelation of Magical Girls. She remains unsatisfied with this conclusion, suspecting her father may have become disheartened by past failures. Lavi's mother expresses gratitude to Nayuta and Tasuke for providing Lavi a safe home away from the bullying she endured in Yukuni.<ref name='a2ac9'>Shown in [[Magia Record Another Story Arc 2 Chapter 9: Invisible yet Indelible|Arc 2, Another Story Chapter 9: Invisible yet Indelible]]</ref>
* Nayuta volunteers to run an errand in town, secretly hoping to confront the hostile Eradication Faction. Lavi and the others initially refuse, citing the danger, but relent and accompany her when Nayuta sneaks out on her own.<ref name='a2ac9'/>
* As they walk, the Folklore members explain their shared goal. They came to Kamihama to test Tasuke's hypothesis, acting as observers infiltrated into various factions to see if attempts to reveal Magical Girls would be thwarted by cosmic forces, as they were in Yukuni. They describe themselves as connected by their shared "resignation." Lavi tells Nayuta that if she wishes to be part of their group, Folklore of Zero, she must also give up her hope.<ref name='a2ac9'/>

* Momoko, Kaede, Rena, and Ranka work to calm Karin after she panics over Endless Mirrors. Juri shows up, and Ranka explains she was worried about Karin and physically stopped her from rushing alone into Mirrors to rescue Alina. The group heads to the arcade to let off steam, while Momoko goes to check the East for more defections after Kanagi left, though luckily, warnings in advance kept most girls from following.<ref name='a2mc9'/>
* At Mitama's Shop, Mikage talks quietly with Sudachi and vows to bring Mitama home, even if they end up fighting and Mikage struggles to forgive her. Sudachi uses telepathy to confess she had killed several classmates with her wish to prove Mikage’s heart can stay kind no matter what. Mikage refuses to hate her and promises to help her remain gentle, which convinces Mikage she will never truly hate Mitama either. Separately, Himena receives a reply at last and happily tells San they can arrange a polite pickup, ready to find out if it is genuine.<ref name='a2mc9'/>

* In Yukuni, the group is confronted by Kurara and the Eradication Faction. Nayuta tries to argue that Magical Girls are not malicious, but Lavi intervenes and withdraws. To make Nayuta understand their resignation, Lavi and the others take her on a tour of the sites of past tragedies in Yukuni: the location of the initial fatal explosion, the parking lot where their magic went wild and destroyed the minds of students during a reconciliation attempt, and the site of the bus accident that Urara survived but which fueled further hatred.<ref name='a2ac9'/>
* After hearing these stories and witnessing the group still dutifully fight Witches despite their trauma, Nayuta is heartbroken but remains resolved. She tells Lavi she cannot give up her hope, as she wants a future where the Folklore members can be saved and be happy.<ref name='a2ac9'/>

[[File:103001 tsukasa cooking.jpg|thumb]]
* Tsukasa cooks Take’s favorite meat and potatoes dish, tricks him into leaving with a phone call from their boss, and slips out alone. She meets Himena in secret, confirms Promised Blood leaves for Futatsugi tomorrow, and explains she will join Neo-Magius to become feared villains who rewrite Kamihama history—only then will the city drive her and Tsukuyo out and free them from old ties. Himena welcomes her, promising Magical Girls cannot be expelled and can choose to stay or leave freely. Shizuka also receives the gifted picture book from Sunao and wonders what Sunao means by it, ready to treat any joke harshly as clan leader.<ref name='a2mc9'/>

'''Fifth Day:'''
* After talking with Rii at home, Kagome visits the Coordinators to ask about Neo-Magius activities, since no one detects their magical signatures in Kamihama. Livia knows nothing, but Himena suddenly arrives for a power-up adjustment. She chooses Livia over Mitama to avoid risks if Mitama peers inside her mind and discovers the plan. After performing the adjustment, Livia tells Kagome that she will no longer remain neutral, as the plan she saw would bring the future Lavi feared. With no other leads on the Neo-Magius, Kagome decided to check on the Tokime Clan.<ref name='a2mc9'/>
* Neo-Magius gathers, including Kanagi, Mitama, and Shizuka. Himena reassures them she avoids harming Magical Girls unnecessarily and focuses on supremacy to save everyone. Kanagi and Mitama target Kamihama's history and people instead, while Shizuka aims to purge the city's evil. San reminds them conflict remains inevitable with Union and others. They plan to act during the break when Promised Blood stays away, and Kanagi offers to lure Union members out so Himena's group can infiltrate Crescent House undetected.<ref name='a2mc9'/>
* At Crescent House, Yachiyo, Tsuruno, and Felicia puzzle over the Neo-Magius' intentions. They dismiss the civic center base and consider the radio telescope tied to old Magius operations, but find no activity there. Kanagi messages Yachiyo offering intel on the Neo-Magius' plans but warns of sharp opponents and suggests preparing contingencies with a public meeting spot. The group suspects a trap given Kanagi's earlier resolve, yet decides to go with Momoko's team while Iroha, Sana, and Ui follow as backup.<ref name='a2mc9'/>
* In Futatsugi, Yuna manages Promised Blood logistics amid family limits and financial strains. Hikaru reports steady watch on Ao with no issues and Yuna receives Kanagi's message through the Union. She views it suspiciously as a lure, but recognizes the Neo-Magius movement requires heightened alert.<ref name='a2mc9'/>
* At Suitoku Temple, Iroha and Sana ask Sunao about sending Sana's picture book to Shizuka; Sunao confirms its delivery and read status but no reply. Sana doubts its impact as an amateur work, but Sunao insists it could help if shared in person. Sunao summarizes the story: a timid turtle learns kindness makes her valuable, ignores a trapped tiger's pleas as a villain, yet a white bird rescues the repentant tiger, revealing the turtle had judged wrongly. Sana explains the turtle represents her, the tiger Yuna, and the bird Iroha, inspired by Iroha's words that all fight to be saved despite differences; she hopes it promotes rejecting conflict for collective salvation.<ref name='a2mc9'/>
* Yachiyo texts Iroha to alert her of Kanagi's likely trap in Minaminagi, instructing a small advance group while Iroha's team trails for potential flank. Sunao prepares the Tokime Clan as Shizuka approaches, detected alongside Ao's earlier appearance. Chiharu and Kagome confirm Neo-Magius mobilization, and Iroha hopes Sunao conveys their feelings through the book to persuade Shizuka.<ref name='a2mc9'/>
* Yachiyo, Momoko, and others meet Kanagi and Mitama with their reinforcements. Kanagi admits the message served as bait to draw them out; neither plans to return. Mitama and Kanagi declare they will become a great evil uniting others against Kamihama's rotten history and fulfilling their destructive wishes meaningfully. They attack briefly, then Mitama paralyzes the group with her pre-set fabric magic and tampering their Soul Gems. Kanagi takes Lil' Kyubey as a souvenir, and they leave a hatching Grief Seed as distraction before departing.<ref name='a2mc9'/>
* Kanagi and Mitama anticipate the group moves to the cargo port for safe fighting, using it as pretext to empty the villa. They reaffirm no intent for serious harm among Magical Girls but proceed with their resolved path.<ref name='a2mc9'/>
* Himena, Shigure, and Hagumu wait near the radio telescope and Kanagi signals success by destroying the villa computer and disabling the alerts. They enter using Mitama's old Magius-era passcode, start the system—modified for ease—and confirm readiness once they acquire Meiyui's perception-altering magic to synthesize through Himena's power, broadcasting the altered reality city-wide beyond mere value shifts.<ref name='a2mc9'/>
[[File:103002 san hinano.jpg|thumb]]
* San and Miyuri confront Nanaka's team to capture Meiyui. A battle ensues where San's absolute defense and Miyuri's relentless assault overwhelm them until Iroha, Ui, Sana, and Hinano intervene. Hinano's chemicals temporarily knock San out, forcing them to retreat without Meiyui.<ref name='a2mc9'/>
* Himena faces iris recognition security Touka added. She spares Shigure and Hagumu the sight of comatose Touka, tasking San with photographing her eye while they fetch Mitsune for potential synthesized falsification magic without risking her becoming a Witch.<ref name='a2mc9'/>
* Iroha's group reaches the paralyzed team, removes the fabrics, and handles the hatched Witch. Reports flood in of widespread Witches, which Neo-Magius have spread as a strategy to scatter forces. Nanaka's team volunteers to fight Witches threatening civilians, freeing Mikazuki to check the Crescent House.<ref name='a2mc9'/>
* Back at the house, searches reveal nothing stolen or damaged, leaving everyone confused about the intrusion's purpose.<ref name='a2mc9'/>
* At Suitoku Temple, Kagome observes the standoff between Sunao, Shizuka, Chiharu, Ryoko, and Chika. Chiharu asks if Shizuka had left the Neo-Magius to return, but Shizuka states that it was the others who had rejected her as family head. She's there not to rejoin the clan, but to convince her former followers to support her vision of Diviners ruling as gods to purge evil. Shizuka outlines her plan to have Himena be in charge initially, and if she causes suffering to people outside Kamihama, Shizuka would strike her down to earn the Diviners the respect of the people. Sunao compares Shizuka's methods to Mikoshiba, and Chiharu adds that Himena is a person who could commit evil with a pure heart, without malice. Sunao declares she would not let Shizuka leave, and Shizuka orders her accompanying branch family members to buy her time to escape. Despite Sunao's cry, Shizuka flees.<ref name='a2mc9'/>
* After Shizuka escapes, Ryoko assures Chiharu that speaking forcefully was necessary to reach Shizuka. They all describe their ideal image of the Tokime Clan, which involves exterminating Devils and helping everyone indiscriminately. They resolve to find Shizuka and Chika communicates with animals to track her. Sunao apologizes to Kagome for departing and Aru asks Sunao whether the branch family members who followed Shizuka were those who had their wishes assigned to them in the clan's ritual. Sunao confirms this, shocked she hadn't noticed the pattern herself. Kagome apologizes for the impertinent observation, but Sunao is grateful, and she concludes that Shizuka and the branch families were seeking self-meaning and resorted to extremes because of it.<ref name='a2mc9'/>
* Shizuka's mother calls Chiharu. She had a premonition and called after Shizuka didn't answer. Chiharu explains how Shizuka and some branch families had joined the enemy, believing Diviners must guide people to prevent corruption. Shizuka's mother states she would not take sides and would accept whichever side won, but to win, they must either change Shizuka or kill her, as she had raised Shizuka to be prepared for that.<ref name='a2mc9'/>
* Chiharu's mother intervenes, taking the phone. She admonishes Shizuka's mother, stating Shizuka was just a girl who bore pressure because she wasn't alone but supported by her peers. She tells Shizuka's mother to be honest about her love for her daughter rather than rationalizing her death. Shizuka's mother concedes that she is right and apologizes.<ref name='a2mc9'/>
* Elsewhere, Shizuka reflects that she agrees with Kanagi and Mitama that destruction could be a final means for change, but saw Himena as different and selfish. Shizuka plans to take Himena's head if she oversteps, to show the people a kind-hearted Diviner watched over them. She questions aloud if she was like Mikoshiba, but a branch family member reassures her they aren't acting on selfish desires. Shizuka notices a bird, which is Chika's animal informant.<ref name='a2mc9'/>
* The others find Shizuka, who had anticipated them. Shizuka declares she will stop them there and used her personal magic to create invisible walls and stop them. She states she will keep them there until the Neo-Magius' plans were complete. Sunao realizes Shizuka could sustain it indefinitely if branch members supplied her with Devil's Souls for purification. Ryoko devises a plan to talk to the branch family members and, with Chiharu, Ryoko begins a forced sermon for the trapped branch members with her unique magic.<ref name='a2mc9'/>
* Ryoko lectures the branch members, arguing that the old Tokime Clan operated in the shadows as part of Mikoshiba's rule, but historically, they knew the world and still protected the land. She also states one cannot understand good without understanding evil, just as light creates shadow. By trying to be a beacon of pure goodness, they were inadvertently creating evil. A branch member realizes their clan's history was one of being ruled and cut off. Before Mikoshiba, the clan knew the people, understood their evil, and still made wishes for them. They conclude that to teach good, one must also acknowledge evil.<ref name='a2mc9'/>
* The branch members apologize to Shizuka, stating they now saw what the Tokime Clan should truly hate. With their support withdrawn, Shizuka's hold falls and she resorts to her Gaze Locking technique. Sunao, seeing no other choice, declares she has to kill Shizuka, but Chiharu grabs Sunao's arm, admonishing them for treating lives too lightly. Chiharu makes an emotional plea for the three of them to stay together as they were when they set out. She begs Shizuka to come back so they could support each other, restart the clan, and avoid pushing people into extremes of good and evil. Shizuka responds that it was already too late.<ref name='a2mc9'/>
* Kagome notes that Shizuka and the branch families were bound by a duty to protect the land, and breaking free from that history would be a source of hope for all Magical Girls. Kagome asks Rii to relay a message to Chiharu and Sunao. The Uwasa quickly delivers the message and Chiharu understands the plan is to use the Kimochi Stones, just like with Iroha and Yuna, might allow Shizuka to understand their thoughts.<ref name='a2mc9'/>

* Juri and Ranka, who had tailed Neo-Magius Feathers to a mountain base, debate assaulting it. Yuna calls Juri, ordering her and Ranka to meet Chiharu and Sunao and lend them Juri's Opal Kimochi Stone, which was filled with respect. Yuna explains this was Iroha's idea, as Shizuka would need the feelings of those close to her. Yuna acknowledges the risk of the Kimochi taking over but says it is worth the chance. Juri agreed, and they departed.<ref name='a2mc9'/>
* Having been ordered by Himena to retrieve Mitsune from the hospital, Shigure and Hagumu link Himena's increasingly radical behavior to Alexandra's departure. Himena plans to synthesize Mitsune's falsification magic to bypass security for the radio telescope operation. To mitigate the risk of Mitsune turning into a Witch, Himena plans to not let Mitsune use it, but rather take it for herself. They encounter San and Miyuri on the way to the hospital, where San is mixing a powder for an undisclosed purpose to avoid conflict.<ref name='a2mc9'/>
* Shigure and Hagumu enter Mitsune's room, as she's recovering from her legs being paralyzed. Shigure and Hagumu update her on the plan to use the radio telescope to spread knowledge of Magical Girls, framing it as making them heroes, thus turning Mitsune's online "lie" into reality. However, Mitsune tells them about her "true self," who was a lonely girl playing games in her room. Being a heroic Magical Girl was a lie she wore and Himena had previously asked her to "falsify the goals of the western candidate" in the Kamihama mayoral election. Mitsune had realized too late this was not to help people but to destabilize the East and manipulate Kanagi and Shizuka, paving the Neo-Magius' path to victory. She believes this unforgivable act means she could never be a hero or face the ghost of Jun, who she now fully remembers. She reveals San had stopped her from telling Shigure and Hagumu earlier, but she pleads with them to stop Himena.<ref name='a2mc9'/>
* San and Miyuri, unable to access Touka's room, encounter Mifuyu, who is guarding it. San proposes Mifuyu joins the Neo-Magius, citing Tsukasa's defection and Mifuyu's debt to Touka and Nemu. Mifuyu refuses, stating her debt was to Touka and Nemu, not their ideology, and that they gave her a chance to dream by tutoring her. Mifuyu asks what the Neo-Magius is planning, and San, after checking the time with Miyuri, reveals it. The revelation horrifies Mifuyu, whose vision becomes shaky. San reveals she had used a special chemical blend secured by Feathers on Mifuyu, thanking Hinano for the lesson earlier. San and Miyuri leave to find Shigure and Hagumu.<ref name='a2mc9'/>

[[File:103003 mitsune escape.jpg|thumb]]
* Shigure and Hagumu, reeling from the news about the election, resolve to flee with Mitsune and beg the Union for help to stop Himena. The three discuss a message from Alexandra confirming the grim nature of the operation. They express not wanting this future or to kill anyone, and Shigure recalls Juri's advice about dangerous "nice" allies. They escape by jumping through the emergency exit before San and Miyuri enter.<ref name='a2mc9'/>
* At the radio telescope, Himena is frustrated by a prerecorded taunting message from Touka that prevents access and alerted authorities. She acknowledges Mitsune's magic was now essential.<ref name='a2mc9'/>
* Meanwhile, at Crescent House, Iroha receives a message from Tsukuyo that Tsukasa is missing, reminiscent of Mitama's disappearance. Felicia yells, having found proof that Mitama and Kanagi had indeed broken into their house. Yachiyo surmises that Kanagi and Mitama had broken the computer in Touka's room, specifically its power supply, to prevent alerts from Touka's systems. Given the Neo-Magius' goal, they deduce the target is the radio telescope, which they plan to use, as was done once before to lure Walpurgisnacht, to spread the ideology of Magical Girl Supremacy across Kamihama.<ref name='a2mc9'/>

* Immediately after Mifuyu's capture, San and Miyuri transport her. San receives a call from Kanagi, who reports that Yachiyo and the main Union force are en route to the radio telescope. Kanagi states her team will stall them and San also learns that Shizuka's team has not reported in from Suitoku Temple. San leaves Miyuri to take Mifuyu ahead and goes to check on Kanagi's squad.<ref name='a2mc9'/>
* Elsewhere, the standoff continues between Kanagi, Mitama, and the the girls of Mikazuki, where Kanagi explains she gave Lil' Kyubey to Himena. Iroha and Ui plead with them to stand down, but Kanagi and Mitama explain their resolve to use force to change Kamihama, stating that trust and dialogue have failed. Shigure, Hagumu, and Mitsune arrive, fleeing from San and begging the Union to protect Mitsune. San is able to take Mitsune and leave, however Mitsune uses telepathy to let Shigure know that she won't let them take advantage of her that easily. Shigure reveals the Neo-Magius' true plan is to use the radio telescope to broadcast a signal that uses Mitsune's falsification magic. This signal would make people unable to eat or drink without acknowledging the superiority of Magical Girls, breaking the population through fear and instinct.<ref name='a2mc9'/>
* Yachiyo confronts Kanagi, who confirms her involvement in this plan. A battle erupts as the Union tries to break through to the telescope. Kanagi and Mitama, aided by their Neo-Magius Feathers, successfully stall the Union forces.<ref name='a2mc9'/>

* Meanwhile in Yukuni, the group prepares to return to Kamihama. As they leave Yukuni, Nayuta reaffirms her determination to create a future where Magical Girls are saved. On the train, Lavi reflects on their role as bystanders and fears that if Kamihama meets the same fate as Yukuni, proving the universe's will is hostile, Nayuta will come to despise them.<ref name='a2ac9'/>

[[File:103004 tokime persons.jpg|thumb]]
* Concurrently, Sunao and Chiharu have a standoff with Shizuka, and Juri and Ranka arrive, giving them the Kimochi Stone of Respect to enter Shizuka's heart. Chika receives a message from the Union detailing the Neo-Magius' plan for the radio telescope and Chiharu and Sunao enter Shizuka's heart. They find it frozen over, but through a role-play based on Sana's picture book, they help Shizuka realize that her method of purging evil by inflicting suffering is flawed. Shizuka understands that true virtue involves healing the suffering that causes wrongdoing, not punishing the wrongdoer. She apologizes to her clan and decides to lead them not as a solitary ruler, but with the support of the branch families. The reunited Tokime Clan also heads for the radio telescope.<ref name='a2mc9'/>
* Shizuka contacts Iroha on the phone to inform her the Tokime Clan is on the way. Tsukuyo also broadcasts a telepathic warning to all Magical Girls in Kamihama about the Neo-Magius' plan. Yuna and the Promised Blood faction, having dealt with Ao, arrive to reinforce the Union. With their combined numbers, the Union breaks through Kanagi and Mitama's defensive line.<ref name='a2mc9'/>
* Inside the radio telescope facility, Himena uses Mitsune's falsification magic to disable the final security and then Mifuyu's magic to synthesize the broadcast signal. San notes that despite Mifuyu's magic being for hallucinations, she'd previously used it for self-suggestion at Hotel Fenthope, so she'll do. As the Union advances to the radio telescope, Tsukasa declares that even if Tsukuyo warns everyone about the situation, it will not change the outcome. Iroha directly refutes this and reports that Tsukuyo's voice has been heard, and a great wave of Magical Girls is gathering around the radio tower.<ref name='a2mc9'/>
* Yuna debates with Ao about her dream about the Magical Girl world, but Ao just concludes that while achieving her goal is difficult, it is still possible. Hikaru pleads with Ao to return to them, but Ao insists on continuing and becoming someone who no one can threaten. Yuna and Juri then declare their intent to remind Ao what fear is. A fight between the three and Ao commences, during which they brush her aside and then proceed toward the telescope. They leave Ao behind and tell her that their goal was to get to the telescope the entire time, which enrages Ao.<ref name='a2mc9'/>
* The Tokime also approach the telescope and Hinano announces they have broken through and instructs the group to follow her. Yachiyo defeats Kanagi, having successfully countered her mind-reading power, and proceeds with her team. Iroha prepares to give the order for a combined attack, but Himena abruptly announces that their time is up, shocking her. Himena reveals she has already now destroyed the telescope after sending the signal, as she doesn't need it anymore, also thanking Mifuyu for providing her magic. San orders a full retreat for the Neo-Magius, with Miyuri offering Shigure and Hagumu a chance to return with them, but both refuse.<ref name='a2mc9'/>
* Kagome arrives to the scene and confirms that the effect is real, as when she tried to drink, she became very nauseous instead. She deduces Himena's plan is to wait until the population suffers from this condition and then reveal the existence of Magical Girls. Citing information from her phone, she states the human body can survive only about four days without water. Therefore, a countdown for the city's survival has begun, with Kagome's own life also at risk.<ref name='a2mc9'/>

* Mikage asks Tsukuyo for help in getting everyone in the East and West to make up to put Mitama at ease. Tsukuyo is taken aback but agrees to help after learning Mikage wants her sister back from the Neo-Magius and that they share the same goal. Tsukuyo notes Mitama hasn't heard that Mikage made up with the child who bullied her at the Tomorrow Shop, and Kanagi likely doesn't know either. Mikage aimes to prove people from both sides can get along with "Operation Friendship," which Tsukuyo agrees to join. Their operation starts at the Tomorrow Shop, where Mikage gathers grade schoolers to help with the project, and Tsukuyo convinces one of the children's sister, an older girl who was also a member of Tsukuyo's koto club. It was at this time that everyone in the shop, with the exception of Mikage and Tsukuyo, become unable to eat or drink. Tsukuyo receives a telepathic message and concludes the situation is the work of the Neo-Magius, and Mikage gets a message from Shigure that the mayoral election rift was stirred up by Himena behind the scenes, and the now current mayor from the West disgraced the Eastern candidate not by her own will. Tsukuyo states that if they tell Mitama and Kanagi the truth, it might not be enough to bring them back, so they decide to continue with Operation Friendship. Tsukuyo telepathically tells Mikage she will meet up with Iroha's group and contact Mikage on her way to the West, while Mikage says she will swing by her house.<ref name='a2mc10'>Shown in [[Magia Record Main Story Arc 2 Chapter 10: Scampering Drastic Lovers|Arc 2, Chapter 10: Scampering Drastic Lovers]]</ref>

* At the Puella Care trailer, Livia confronts Kyubey, accusing him of inciting Himena. Kyubey denies this, but Livia tells him that if he attempts any funny business, they will withdraw their cooperation.<ref name='a2mc9'/>

[[File:103005 old puella magi.jpg|thumb]]
* Nayuta reflects on her discoveries about how in Yukuni, Magical Girls revealed their existence to friends and it backfired, causing harm and resentment. Her father's research into historical figures rumored to be Magical Girls found none were publicly known as such, leading to his theory that the universe actively suppresses anything inconvenient to its energy cycle. Nayuta refuses to accept salvation is impossible and resolves to go to Kamihama City to witness firsthand what happens when Magical Girls' existence is about to be revealed, determined to find hope for the future.<ref name='a2mc10'/>
* Lavi, Alexandra, Asahi, Urara, and Tasuke discuss the situation. Lavi confirms, based on a message from Shigure to Alexandra, that Himena has initiated her plan to inform the world of Magical Girls' existence. Alexandra notes Himena has made it impossible for people in Kamihama to eat or drink, which will create an unbridgeable gap between humans and Magical Girls, even if their existence becomes known. Urara suggests the universe's self-cleaning effect might not activate if this path isn't comforting for Magical Girls, but Tasuke counters that if humans become afraid, fewer will contract, also threatening the universe's energy supply.<ref name='a2mc10'/>
* Outside Puella Care's trailer, Livia, Yozuru and Sudachi have finally tracked the magic signature of Himena, which had been concealed by coordination. They vow to snuff out whatever plan she is involved in.<ref name='a2mc10'/>
* Inside the Kamihama Civic Center, Himena confirms to San and Miyuri that she has been honest with Shigure about her plans, including using Mitsune's falsification magic to manipulate the Kamihama mayor's goals and intentionally involving townspeople. She admits she cannot create the future she and Shigure both wanted, but her motive stems from a desire to force people, like her disapproving mother, to acknowledge her relationship with Hiko. San confirms she and Miyuri chose to stay to support Himena's plan for them to become gods of the Fire Festival. San reports they successfully tracked down and expelled Shigure and Hagumu to the Union, but Himena remains confident, stating Shizuka bought them time and that she has tricks prepared, even if dozens of Magical Girls attack. San secures a promise from Himena not to involve the people of Hikarizuka.<ref name='a2mc10'/>
* Himena addresses the remaining Feathers through a stage announcement. She declares only 11 hours remain until Magical Girls' existence is revealed and urges them to obey her final instructions to achieve Magical Girl supremacy.<ref name='a2mc10'/>
* From the satellite base, Kagome observes the hundreds of thousands of affected people in Kamihama, including Magical Girls' families. Many Magical Girls react with horror about their families, and Iroha questions Shigure and Hagumu, who claim they didn't know the plan would go this far but accept blame. Iroha believes them and asks for their help and they deduce Himena will likely make her move in the morning, after anxiety peaks and people are home watching media. Felicia proposes attacking the TV station immediately, but Ranka and Yuna argue for seizing control of power sources and antennas to shut down the broadcast network at will.<ref name='a2mc10'/>
* At the satellite base, the group coordinates. Shizuka, Sunao, and Chiharu volunteer to handle Witch-hunting in Kamihama to prevent curses from spreading during the crisis. Yachiyo instructs Magical Girls with families in Kamihama to go home and check on them. Teams are formed, with Shigure, Hagumu, and Promised Blood targeting the broadcast network, Mikazuki will team up to stop the broadcast, and Mifuyu requests to go her own way to break the mass suggestion by collaborating with the Amane sisters. Yachiyo agrees, and they plan to reunite Tsukuyo and Tsukasa first.<ref name='a2mc10'/>
* At the radio tower, San and Miyuri have positioned Feathers and await the Union's attack, correctly predicting they will target the main TV transmission tower. They discuss the spreading rumors about Kamihama on social media and San explains Himena's personal hierarchy has Hiko first, Alexandra second, the Neo-Magius third, other Magical Girls fourth, and everyone else meaningless. She notes Alexandra could only delay Himena's plan, which San is grateful for as she needs to act before Fire Festival culture fades further.<ref name='a2mc10'/>
* Yachiyo receives a call from her modeling manager about a late-night news program on Kamihama, which she dismisses. The group approaches TV Kamihama, and Sana senses no magic yet. Felicia wants to smash the antenna immediately, but Tsuruno and Sana argue it would only confuse the public. The team decides to secure the area and they receive updates that Rena and Momoko's families are safe. Tsukuyo catches up, reporting she couldn't contact Tsukasa and Sana detects the Neo-Magius' approach.<ref name='a2mc10'/>
* The Neo-Magius Feathers attack in coordinated trios, attempting to split the Union team. Tsuruno devises a counter-strategy by pretending to flee to lure the Feathers into a trap in a familiar area of Chuo Ward. The plan succeeds, and the Feathers are defeated and incapacitated.<ref name='a2mc10'/>
* Meanwhile, Mifuyu and Tsukuyo confront San and Miyuri on a rooftop. Mifuyu demonstrates improved combat skills, deflecting San's bullets, but Miyuri, in her unconscious state, proves a formidable opponent. San admits she dislikes fighting familiar opponents because they catch on too easily.<ref name='a2mc10'/>
* Tsukasa, stationed at a lesser-known radio station per San's orders, watches news reports and is consumed by guilt over her role. A former Magius Black Feather expresses unwavering belief in Magical Girl supremacy as the only way to break the suggestion and save lives. When Yuna, Juri, Ranka and Hikaru attack, Tsukasa flees into the sewers, a location she and Tsukuyo once guarded. Using the chamber's acoustic properties to amplify her flute's sound as a weapon, she incapacitates the Promised Blood team and escapes with the help of a Black Feather who sacrifices herself to hold them back.<ref name='a2mc10'/>
* Promised Blood regroups with Mifuyu and Tsukuyo and they deduce the Neo-Magius was only buying time to make finishing touches. Yuna speculates that Ao, working separately, might be the Neo-Magius' winning bet.<ref name='a2mc10'/>
* Mikazuki secures the perimeter of the main antenna. Iroha and Ui try to reason with San, but San refuses to be persuaded and she and Miyuri retreat. Yachiyo's team takes control of the antenna but feels the victory was too easy, suspecting a stall tactic or alternative media plans, like livestreams, or satellite. Sana volunteers to infiltrate the Neo-Magius base with Shizuka's help, as Shizuka knows their inner workings.<ref name='a2mc10'/>
* At Mitama's vacant shop, Momoko finds Mikage, as they both snuck out from their homes. Mikage reveals she has been helping Tsukuyo with "Operation Friendship" to bring Mitama back and needs Momoko's help to reach out to people from the East. Momoko decides to take a gamble and join the operation.<ref name='a2mc10'/>

[[File:103101 approach.jpg|thumb]]
* Sana and Shizuka, disguised in Neo-Magius robes, infiltrate the Takarazaki Community Center. Shizuka explains the complex weekly password system, and they wait with the other Feathers. Sana, using her invisibility, scouts the kitchen and finds torn pieces of a shipping receipt. She reconstructs it and discovers the Neo-Magius mailed some kind of disc to various media outlets three days prior, which she relays to the Union.<ref name='a2mc10'/>
* Iroha, Ui, Yachiyo, Tsuruno, and Felicia discuss Sana's discovery over the phone. Tsuruno deduces the mailed discs likely contained information on Magical Girls and a prediction of the current crisis in Kamihama, making the unrealistic claim credible after the prediction comes true. They realize Himena can spread the word without appearing herself, potentially framing all Magical Girls as harmful. Yachiyo analyzes that serious media will be cautious about airing such content, especially involving a minor, while lighter outlets lack credibility.<ref name='a2mc10'/>
* During a meeting upstairs, which Sana eavesdrops on, San confirms Himena is in hiding. She laments the damage to their broadcast network, and with reduced forces, they decide against spreading too thin. Their new plan is to use the giant publicity loudspeakers at the Kamihama Civic Center to broadcast Himena's voice. San also decides to recall Tsukasa to the Community Center. Sana relays this new target location to the Union.<ref name='a2mc10'/>
* On a rooftop, Kanagi and Mitama monitor the growing chaos in Kamihama. They dismiss the message about Himena's manipulation of the election as a ploy, believing the East-West conflict is inevitable. They resolve to continue their path of uniting people against them through destruction. The Kimochi Stone of Grief acts up, attempting to erode them, and to prevent the Kimochi from stealing their grief without consequence, Mitama performs a dangerous coordination, fusing the Kimochi's fate with their very lives, ensuring it cannot take their sorrow without also taking their lives. They emerge with their new "Eternal Darkness" transformations.<ref name='a2mc10'/>
* Elsewhere Ao is making her way to Yukuni City's eradication faction.<ref name='a2mc10'/>

* From her room, Kagome's grateful her parents were saved from the effects of the radio. Elsewhere, Momoko, Rena, Kaede and Mikage discuss their efforts to unite East and West students. Momoko reports only a 30% success rate in the West, as people are preoccupied with their physical ailments, and that Mikage and Tsukuyo had an advantage by acting before the crisis. The group is uncertain how much they can achieve before morning to bring back Mitama and Kanagi.<ref name='a2mc10'/>
* Mifuyu and Tsukuyo, racing to catch up to the main group, note Iroha's team is closer to the Kamihama Civic Center. Hikaru is frustrated by the lack of response from Ao and Juri discovers a scheduled livestream on Ao's Dotube channel. Yuna suspects Himena might use it for her broadcast and Shigure and Hagumu note that a direct confrontation at the Civic Center seems unlike Himena's style, suggesting a deeper plan. Tsukuyo checks a tracking app and discovers Tsukasa is actually south of their location, not in Daito. She theorizes Tsukasa may have been too scared to disable the app or simply forgot and Mifuyu decides to split from the group to pursue Tsukasa with Tsukuyo, believing the Civic Center team has enough manpower, to which Yuna gives no objection.<ref name='a2mc10'/>
* Iroha, Yachiyo, Ui, Tsuruno, and Felicia arrive near the Kamihama Civic Center. They sense no trace of Himena or Tsukasa but detect a familiar, cold magical signature. They encounter Kanagi and Mitama, with their magical presence feeling cold and wrong. Tsuruno warmly invites them back, but Kanagi and Mitama immediately attack her soul gem without hesitation. Their new transformation, Everlasting Darkness, is revealed and they speak in unison about delivering meaningful ruin and death as a form of hope.<ref name='a2mc10'/>
* A battle ensues, where Kanagi's predictive abilities have improved, making her nearly untouchable. Yachiyo tries to reason with them, urging Kanagi to remember the people around her, and Kanagi acknowledges she is poor at gauging feelings but states she has decided to abandon the present Kamihama to focus on the future. Yachiyo is overwhelmed and Felicia is drained of strength by Mitama. The duo prepares to finish the group but suddenly decides to retreat, stating time is of the essence. As they leave, Mitama sets a trap on the door. Yachiyo warns Felicia just in time, preventing her from triggering an explosion that would have killed them all.<ref name='a2mc10'/>
* Mifuyu and Tsukuyo find only Tsukasa's discarded phone and decide to follow Tsukasa's remaining magical energy. Mifuyu notes a press organization broadcasting emergency instructions on an electronic billboard.<ref name='a2mc10'/>
* Inside the Takarazaki Community Center, Sana and Shizuka receive Iroha's message that the Civic Center intel was false and they realize they may have been discovered. Shizuka proposes attacking San while she and Miyuri are resting to demoralize the Feathers, and Sana reluctantly agrees and uses her magic to hide Shizuka's presence. The attempt fails, as San had activated her absolute defense and was waiting for them. She and Miyuri wake and order the Feathers to capture Sana and Shizuka. A chase ensues and Sunao, Chiharu, and the rest of the Tokime Clan, who had been on standby, intervene to rescue them. The Neo-Magius is forced to break off the pursuit when neighbors begin to notice the commotion.<ref name='a2mc10'/>
* After escaping, Sana proposes returning to the Community Center alone, believing their guard will be down. She devises an escape plan using Chika's animal communication, and having the dog Mameji from Chiaki's bento shop track her scent and, with a pack of other dogs, cause a distraction if she's in danger. The Tokime Clan agrees to help and Sana re-infiltrates and overhears San having a heated argument with a Youth Association member named Tatsu. Tatsu informs her the portable shrine for the Fire Festival is to be disposed of, as there's no hope of reviving the "dangerous" festival. San is devastated, declaring she will become the festival's god herself and Tatsu tells her to move on. San is left heartbroken, having risked her life as a Magical Girl to protect the festival.<ref name='a2mc10'/>
* Later, Sana eavesdrops on Feathers discussing their next mission of sending five members to Yukuni City to follow Ao and the Janomiya faction. Their goal is to prevent Ao from killing members of the Eradication Faction, then capture the faction members on video to condemn their disrespect towards Magical Girls for their broadcast. Sana is horrified but her reaction breaks her concealment magic and San and Miyuri corner her. Miyuri shatters Sana's shield, and as San is about to deliver a final blow, the pack of dogs led by Mameji attacks, creating enough chaos for Sana to escape. She is badly injured but rescued by the Tokime Clan, with her final message warning everyone.<ref name='a2mc10'/>
* Back at the Crescent House, Mitama had pre-rigged the explosion and only added the final trigger at the end. Yachiyo laments that their words couldn't reach Kanagi and Mitama. Tsuruno picks up their faint, concealed magical signatures and tracks them heading toward Kamihama's city hall. Iroha realizes the city hall's disaster warning radio system, capable of broadcasting a voice across the entire city, and they must stop this final broadcast attempt.<ref name='a2mc10'/>
* Yuna and Promised Blood arrive, as they've failed to find Himena. Iroha receives a call from Shizuka relaying Sana's message that the Neo-Magius plans to directly harm people in Yukuni City and broadcast it on Ao's Dotube channel to showcase Magical Girl cruelty and power.<ref name='a2mc10'/>
* Simultaneously, the Union group chat reveals that flyers with QR codes linking to Ao's channel have been inserted into local newspapers. The flyer claims advance knowledge of the Kamihama crisis, lending credibility to the upcoming stream. Promised Blood immediately departs for Yukuni City to stop Ao and the Neo-Magius squad. Yachiyo announces that she will appear as a commentator on a live news broadcast with the mayor, intending to go off-script to help the situation, even at the risk of being banned from the entertainment industry and cutting off Mikazuki's income. She asks for the team's cooperation.<ref name='a2mc10'/>
* On a train, Nayuta, Lavi, Urara, Asahi, Alexandra, and Tasuke observe the conflict. Nayuta finds it pointless that sides with the same goal are fighting and Lavi suggests such clashes may be the universe's will to reduce those who would spread the word. Urara notes no one has died yet and Asahi states the aftermath is what matters. Tasuke prays his theory about universal cleansing is wrong.<ref name='a2mc10'/>

* While the main Kamihama Magia Union confronts the leadership, other members assist Mikage's "Operation Friendship." This operation aims to promote a signature site for the "Student Council for the Future of Kamihama" to unite the city's East and West.<ref name='a2ac10'>Shown in [[Magia Record Another Story Arc 2 Chapter 10: Shadowy Reflection in the Water|Arc 2, Another Story Chapter 10: Shadowy Reflection in the Water]]</ref>
* Asuka, Sasara, and Emiri clear out the Witches released by the Neo-Magius. Afterwards, Iroha tasks them with promoting the signature site, and the team, along with other Union members like Maria, Meguru, and Aimi, attempt to spread the site via social media but achieve limited success due to low reach and corporate restrictions, as idol Sayuki Fumino's management forbids her from posting about it.<ref name='a2ac10'/>
* Later that night, the team is called to the river between Kosho and Daito Wards by Rui. They find a large crowd of Witch-Kissed people from all over Western Kamihama attempting to cross into Daito Ward. The group, carrying heavy bags filled with objects to weigh themselves down, intend to commit suicide in the river as a form of atonement for their historical prejudice against the East. They explain their actions stem from guilt, weakness, and a warped sense of justice, amplified by the Neo-Magius' plan and Yachiyo's televised appeal.<ref name='a2ac10'/>
* The Magical Girls realize the only difference between themselves and the despairing citizens is the "luck" of their circumstances; had they not become Magical Girls and found a supportive community, they could have easily shared the same fate. This shared understanding becomes the key to reaching them.<ref name='a2ac10'/>
* Meiyui and Aimi defeat the Witch, breaking her influence. Sayuki, defying her management, holds an impromptu guerrilla concert and announces a new song titled "#I'm Like You, I'm With You," a concept inspired by Ria's earlier commentary. The concert is broadcast online, and the hashtag trends locally. The Union uses this trending tag to successfully promote the signature site, leading to a massive surge in signatures and public support for unification.<ref name='a2ac10'/>

* At Mitama's Shop, Sana is treated by Livia, Yozuru and Sudachi, with Shizuka offering a Grief Seed for her. Sunao and Chiharu arrive, relieved to find the group, as they couldn't patch Sana's injuries fast enough at the Puella Care trailer, but Livia explains they were on the move for their own reasons. Shizuka says she can't tell if Livia is a good person, and Livia admits she's the one who's been making them fight each other, so maybe she's not, but despite that, she is still an ally to everyone.<ref name='a2mc10'/>
* Outside Neo-Magius’ base, Iroha confirms that Yuna and her friends safely boarded a freight train to Yukuni City, and Yachiyo heads off to the studio. Shigure and Hagumu also depart to try and find Mitsune, who still hasn't been found, even after the radio tower incident. Felicia and Tsuruno agree to head to the city hall to reach the emergency broadcast console.<ref name='a2mc10'/>
* At the Takarazaki Community Center, Himena thanks Mitsune, telling her she can stay there for the rest of the night. Mitsune asks if Himena is really going to use "that device" and Himena confirms it's already installed and just needs activation. Himena justifies her actions by saying that she needs it to get all the Kimochi Stones and that she took Mitsune out of Kamihama tosave her.<ref name='a2mc10'/>
* Meanwhile, Iroha, Ui, and Felicia follow Tsuruno as she tracks Kanagi and Mitama's magic to Kamihama's city hall through the rooftops. They wonder where the emergency radio console would be located in such situations, as the original office had moved after area was damaged by Eve. Iroha suggests that more of Kamihama's Magical Girls spread out and check with each ward, and they proceed to call the others to do so.<ref name='a2mc10'/>
* In Mizuna, Tsukuyo has lost track of Tsukasa's magic, but Mifuyu suspects someone erased her trail on purpose, as the two of them together could resolve the situation in Kamihama. Iroha communicates telepathically with Iroha, who tells her that Kanagi and Mitama moved from Daito Ward to Chuo Ward and then onward, with their destination likely being the disaster warning radio location. She suggests checking all possible points in the vicinity. Tsukuyo deduces that since the two moved from Daito to Chuo and further west, they may have passed through Mizuna, and Mifuyu realizes the two may have erased Tsukasa's magic, and that Tsukasa could be at the radio location too. Tsukuyo checks and finds Kamihama City has a branch office in Mizuna Ward and they head there, sensing Kanagi and Mitama's magic, but finding something off about it. As they'd be noticed if they tried to sneak in, they approach from the front to avoid provocation, where they're shocked by Kanagi and Mitama's changed forms. Kanagi notes their arrival and suggests moving somewhere private.<ref name='a2mc10'/>
* Mifuyu states that their changed appearance proves their souls have greatly changed and that they have committed to total destruction. A fight ensues between the two groups and Mifuyu and Tsukuyo try to retreat. Kanagi and Mitama explain their goal to unite Kamihama's East and West by becoming a common enemy through the city's destruction, forcing the survivors to join hands. Mifuyu rejects this and tells Mitama that Mikage hasn't given up on uniting the East and West, but Mitama refuses to believe this. Mitama and Kanagi attack, but Momoko's appears and intervenes at the last second.<ref name='a2mc10'/>
* Momoko approaches Kanagi and Mitama with understanding, and soon Mikage and the rest of Momoko's team approaches as well. Mikage explains through telepathy to Kanagi and Mitama that she wanted to prove they didn't have to fulfill their wish to destroy Kamihama, which is why she has been trying her best with "Operation Friendship."<ref name='a2mc10'/>

* In Daito, Momoko receives a telepathic message from Iroha and relays that the Neo-Magius' plan is to use the loudspeakers at the Kamihama Civic Center. Rena and Kaede also note that they'd notified other Magical Girls about Operation Friendship, and they also create a petition page titled "Student Conference for the Future of Kamihama City," explaining the East-West problem, the pressure from older generations, and their goal to unite students from both sides.<ref name='a2mc10'/>
* While searching, Kaede notes the signature numbers for their petition are going up. Kanagi's younger brother approaches them, asking if his sister has anything to do with the current situation, as Kanagi's acted differently after he'd gotten mugged by a group from the West and hospitalized. Momoko deduces this could be why Kanagi was shaken up, and Mikage promises to bring her back.<ref name='a2mc10'/>
* Mikage notes info is getting around in the East and their next stop is the West. Mikage notices someone left a very long comment: a student from Mizuna confessing to having tried to push a transfer student from Daito down the stairs years ago out of jealousy. The commenter signs the petition, wanting to make a difference and never add to the number of unhappy people again. Rena senses a Witch, and they notices someone about to jump, possibly Witch-kissed. Mikage recognizes the person as the mayor and they save her from jumping. She wakes up and, seeing Mikage's Daito uniform, apologizes for the suffering caused by her. She doesn't understand why she didn't participate in the election fairly or why she tried to undermine the East, and until recently, she thought of the disaster as a chance to unite the city. She only realized something was wrong when she thought about helping citizens during the current crisis, and something cleared in her head. After speaking in emergency meetings, she realized she was hurting the people she was supposed to protect, so she decides to resign. Mikage asks her a favor: to join their petition to unite East and West and tell everyone she knows. The mayor agrees, stating she will hold a press conference on the situation, tender her resignation afterward, and tell people about the girls.<ref name='a2mc10'/>
* Momoko contacts Yachiyo about this informing her that if they can't stop Ao's livestream by the end of the hour, she will show footage of Magical Girls hurting ordinary humans. Yachiyo confirms and Momoko then explains they saved the mayor, who will announce her resignation and talk about their petition at a press conference. She asks Yachiyo to bring it up on the live news program she's part of and she agrees to the request.<ref name='a2mc10'/>
* Momoko recounts the events to Kanagi and Mitama, who question if East and West can unite without them becoming villains. The two refuse to believe it and declare once again that they will keep going, but Mifuyu telepathically devises a plan with the others. She will use her illusion magic to show the press conference, Tsukuyo will amplify the audio with her ability, and Mikage will bring up the original program on her phone, so they must stall them until preparations are complete.<ref name='a2mc10'/>

[[File:103102 yachiyo appearance.jpg|thumb]]
* They keep fighting until Mikage gives them the signal, and they transmit the press conference live recording to them. Yachiyo's voice from the news program is heard, where she is saddened by the mayor's ties to extremist groups and resignation. She discusses the long-standing East-West divide, her pain at seeing it reopen after the election, and the difficulty of bridging the gap. She announces that Kamihama's students are trying to reconnect through the "Student Conference for the Future of Kamihama City" and their petition, which she has decided to join. She urges viewers to sign, stating she doesn't want to see any more friends cry over the East-West situation and would be happy if they could make a difference.<ref name='a2mc10'/>
* Mikage tells Mitama that the future with their friends is still connected, and Kanagi's brother arrives with Iroha, Felicia, and Ui. He explains that Reira and others told him where Kanagi was, and he met Iroha's group on the way, and that others were on their way too. A girl steps forward and apologizes to Mitama for trying to push her down the stairs years ago out of jealousy, which led to Mitama's punishment and expulsion. She promises to live her life to the fullest to end the cycle of misery and asks to be allowed to help for the sake of all their futures. Kanagi's brother tells Kanagi he doesn't want to see her alone and that as much as she and Mitama have tried to change the East-West relationship, they'll do it together this time, so she shouldn't shoulder it alone.<ref name='a2mc10'/>
[[File:103103 kanagi mitama settle.jpg|thumb]]
* Kanagi sighs and admits she may have been rather tactless, and Iroha references a video left behind by Ryo, who said she was jealous of Kanagi and Mitama because they would get to enjoy a fair and equal East, which is what she wanted when she joined the Wings of the Magius. Kanagi confirms this, realizing she was so focused on the grief of Kamihama as a whole that she forgot the feelings of those closest to her. She was on the verge of giving up but now understands she doesn't have to, so she will strive to build a future free of sorrow with the help of those around her.<ref name='a2mc10'/>
* Mitama expresses fear about her wish for destruction growing in power and potentially bringing ruin beyond Kamihama, maybe even causing the Mirror Witch threat. Mikage says it would be tough to destroy everything yourself, so it's better not to do something that will give her a hard time, and they can cross that bridge when they get to it. Momoko says if the time comes for everything to crash down, she'll join Mitama in the struggle. Mitama asks if Momoko would hold it against her if her wish killed her, and Momoko repeats they will fight side by side, and if it comes to that, they can die together with no hard feelings.<ref name='a2mc10'/>
* Kanagi addresses Iroha, stating she once found Iroha's idealism charming in its foolishness, perhaps because they are more alike than she thought. She went down the wrong path and implores Iroha to be careful not to make the same mistakes, to which Iroha says she'll try. Mitama tells Mikage to tell everyone to head for Sakae 1090, Himena's true location, which is also where the disaster warning radio is. Mitama explains the radio, the mail to media outlets, and Ao's livestream are all part of Himena's plan for her 1090 broadcast. The press is likely waiting nearby to verify the sent information.<ref name='a2mc10'/>
* Kanagi says she and Mitama will hasten to destroy Himena's contraption themselves. Tsuruno suggests they tag along, but Mitama says they have other business and cannot walk shoulder to shoulder with them at the moment. Tsukuyo asks if they know where Tsukasa is, and Kanagi says Tsukasa ran off on her own. Mitama confirms she covered her tracks but only knows the direction, and Mifuyu says she and Tsukuyo will continue looking for Tsukasa.<ref name='a2mc10'/>
* Yachiyo receives the updates, hoping the program staff won't keep her too long due to her off-script comments. She then sees replies from Ria and Sayuki about a Dotuber collab event scheduled for meeting and delivery at the 1090. She realizes if the seeds Himena sowed included influencers, the story from Kanagi is even more plausible.<ref name='a2mc10'/>
* Shigure and Hagumu, having tracked Mitsune's magic, find her at the Takarazaki Community Center. She reveals Himena brought her there and left to set up a trap, possibly taking her out of Kamihama so she wouldn't get caught. She thinks Himena didn't want Shigure and Hagumu dragged in either and she urges them to go stop Himena, but they ask her to explain the trap first.<ref name='a2mc10'/>
* Nayuta receives a text from Mikage saying her sister has come back, and Asahi reports the Tokime Clan is tending to Sana. Urara states she doesn't know what's going on with Promised Blood, and everything is still a mess. Tasuke mentions his brother is helping with IV drips with other medical facilities. Nayuta explains that Mitama had defected to the Neo-Magius until recently, but a ray of hope spurred her return. Lavi says Iroha is actively reaching for peace and could be one of their last vestiges of hope, but cannot say if she can stop Himena's disaster.<ref name='a2mc10'/>
* Alexandra admits she still regrets being unable to stop Himena, knowing it's impossible, as Himena's Number One has always been Hiko. Lavi says it's best to put faith in others and Alexandra agrees to wait and see if anyone else can stop her. Alexandra confesses she can't let Himena go on like this and cannot give up on her. Tasuke says to let her go and do what she's comfortable with, as in this universe, one is free to choose whether to give up or not.<ref name='a2mc10'/>

* Yuna, Juri, Ranka and Hikaru arrive to Yukuni through a cold, high-speed freight train. Yuna receives a message that Iroha's side has made progress, but they worry about Ao's scheduled livestream on the 1090 broadcast, which could display her violence to the mass media. They lack clues on the faction's location, but Urara messages Yuna with map coordinates for the Eradication Faction's base and reveals its current leader is Urara's ex-partner, whom Urara wants saved.<ref name='a2mc10'/>
* The team follows a mountain goat path near a hot spring and Yuna outlines their plan to use the borrowed Kimochi Stone of Fear to connect with Ao's soul. If the Kimochi is controlling her, they will defeat it and if her feelings are beyond repair, they will have to instill a new fear. Juri reveals their long-term plan is to retire after this, which confuses Hikaru.<ref name='a2mc10'/>
* Inside a mountain cabin, Ao is bored, waiting for the broadcast. She taunts the captured leader, Kurara, about the faction's persecution of Magical Girls like Alexandra. Kurara argues that Magical Girls hurt humans, but Ao counters that those who protect the public must defend themselves. She threatens Kurara to ensure good footage and Janomiya grunts express concern over Ao's worsening mental state.<ref name='a2mc10'/>
* Yuna's team arrives and demands Ao release the faction. Ao eagerly attacks and a brief skirmish ensues, revealing Ao's reckless, berserker-like fighting style. The Janomiya grunts, deciding Ao has gone too far, betray her and untie Kurara. They reveal the other faction members are only knocked out, and tell Promised Blood to handle Ao.<ref name='a2mc10'/>
* Yuna uses her Target Redirection to exploit Ao's openings, Ranka restrains her, and Yuna and Juri to use the Kimochi Stone of Fear. Hikaru insists on joining them and the three are pulled into Ao's mind space, leaving Ranka behind. Juri explains they were prepared for a suicide mission to save Ao, feeling responsible for her state. Hikaru protests, refusing to let Yuna die. Inside the soul space, they confirm the Kimochi is corroding Ao, and even after they defeat the Kimochi manifestation, Ao's personality remains unchanged. Yuna proposes a new plan to trace the memories in Ao's soul back to her birth to find and protect the moment her heart first experienced fear, preventing the Kimochi from eroding it. This would mean subjectively reliving 14 years of Ao's life.<ref name='a2mc10'/>
[[File:103104 baby ao.jpg|thumb]]
[[File:Memoria 1947.jpg|thumb]]
* To this, Ao, bored and seeing it as a condition for their promised fight, agrees and sends Yuna, Juri, Hikaru and herself into her past with the power of the Kimochi.<ref name='a2mc10'/>
** The trio finds themselves in Ao's childhood home. Yuna and Juri take on the roles of her moms, while Hikaru appears as a neighborhood sister figure. They raise infant Ao, constantly fending off manifestations of the Kimochi that appear whenever she feels fear. The exhausting task strains them, especially Yuna, who handles most childcare. They try to be overprotective to prevent fear, but this backfires, making Ao socially withdrawn and timid.<ref name='a2mc10'/>
** As Ao grows, the Kimochi adapts, trying to eliminate her fears by removing her guilt, leading her to shoplift and pick fights. The trio continues to battle these manifestations. Hikaru, trying to help, gives a teenage Ao a game console as a stress reliever. Ao becomes engrossed in gaming, developing a sharper tongue but also finding a way to interact with others online. Yuna notes this is an improvement over her reclusive phase.<ref name='a2mc10'/>
** Somehow, likely due to her unique magic, [[Mitsuru Inami]] ends up involved within the dream world, not remembering her real life.<ref name='normal'>Shown in [[Magia Record Story Mitsuru Inami Wants to Be "Normal"|Mitsuru Inami Wants to Be "Normal"]]</ref>
** Ten years after Ao's rebirth, with Yuna, Juri, and Hikaru's duties leaving household chores piling up, they hire a housekeeper, which is the role of Mitsuru Inami in this world, a nervous woman who formally introduces herself to the family. Over the following weeks, the family discovers Mitsuru has an uncanny ability to appear unnoticed behind people, catching Juri eating secret snacks, Hikaru viewing her photo collection, and Ao playing games instead of doing homework.<ref name='normal'/>
** The family meets Mitsuru away from the house to discuss their concerns. When a Witch's Barrier appears, Mitsuru panics but eventually reveals she is a thirty-one-year-old Magical Girl with an unconscious ability that deflects attacks. Her mother raised her to never stand out, making minimizing her presence second nature. Yuna realizes Mitsuru was the Ghost Magical Girl from their Futatsugi City days, whose deflected attacks unknowingly caused chaos during past conflicts. That night, Yuna decides to terminate Mitsuru's contract for Ao's safety. When Yuna calls the dispatch agency, Mitsuru reveals the company only employs her and states she will continue coming regardless. The following days, Mitsuru continues entering the house daily without a key, cleaning and preparing meals while security cameras show nothing. The family grows increasingly unsettled.<ref name='normal'/>
** Late one night, Yuna wakes and senses Mitsuru in the room with them. She confronts her, and Mitsuru begs to stay, explaining she finally feels normal living among fellow Magical Girls. Suddenly, Witch's Barrier envelops them and Mitsuru's deflection causes the Witch's attacks to hit the others while Juri and Hikaru struggle to protect Ao. Yuna realizes Mitsuru's absolute defense will fail when her magic runs out. She argues that Mitsuru cannot live normally without fighting Witches. Remembering Ao's words about helping others, Mitsuru fights back for the first time and defeats the Witch.<ref name='normal'/>
** After the battle, Mitsuru apologizes and says she will re-evaluate her way of living while hoping to continue housekeeping occasionally. Yuna agrees, noting she could become a powerful ally. Later, Ao complains about homework and says she misses Mitsuru's cooking. Hikaru distracts her with snacks found in the cupboard.<ref name='normal'/>
** Ao becomes a Magical Girl and Yuna and Juri deduce the final enemy, the manifestation of what Ao fears most, is about to appear: their own younger selves from the time they tried to eliminate Magical Girls in Futatsugi. They ask Hikaru to keep teenage Ao occupied while they confront their past selves on the battlefield. An intense battle ensues between the present-day Yuna, Juri and their younger, more powerful counterparts. The older pair wins but is left utterly drained of magic.<ref name='a2mc10'/>
** The core manifestation of Ao's fear appears and exhausted, Yuna and Juri prepare to sacrifice their lives in a final stand. Ao and Hikaru arrive and Ao reveals she sensed their magic and realized they had been protecting her all along. She refuses to let them die, declaring that losing them is her greatest fear. Fueled by rage at their self-sacrifice, she resonates with the Kimochi Stone of Rage again. Ao and Hikaru take over the fight, defeating the final enemy and protecting her own heart.<ref name='a2mc10'/>
* The group returns to reality, physically and magically exhausted. Ao is confused but deeply affected, now understanding the fear of losing her family. She addresses Yuna and Juri as "Mom" and "Mama" before correcting herself, and Ranka, who had been guarding their bodies, is relieved and furious. The Janomiya grunts help support them and Ranka updates the four girls that Ao's livestream was canceled, and Kamihama's disaster radio was stopped. However, Himena's main broadcast on the 1090 electronic billboards is about to begin, with press in attendance. The team is in no condition to move and Ao receives a mass message from Himena with "final instructions": all Neo-Magius members must leave Kamihama immediately. The broadcast is in one and a half hours.<ref name='a2mc10'/>

* At a mountain lookout, Asahi, Urara, Lavi, Tasuke, and Nayuta discuss the impending battle and Urara relays messages from Promised Blood indicating the Neo-Magius is heavily outnumbered. Lavi suggests the situation might be deliberately engineered and Tasuke states this will be their final judgment on whether Magical Girls can be saved. Nayuta declares her intent to chase after her friends, like Mikage, to protect them, following Alexandra's example. She encourages Lavi to follow her true feelings too and Tasuke gives Lavi permission to act as she wishes, stating their role is only to observe.<ref name='a2mc10'/>
* While Alexandra runs through Kamihama, she recalls a phone call with Himena in which Himena claimed she acted on Alexandra's behalf to get revenge on those who tormented her. Alexandra protested, saying she didn't want extreme revenge and couldn't believe Himena was going through with her plan. Himena blamed Alexandra for leaving and she explained she left because she knew Himena would never listen as long as Hiko was her priority, hoping her disappearance might make Himena stop. Himena apologized, stated it was too late, and told Alexandra to leave Kamihama. Back in the present, Alexandra regrets not confronting Himena as a friend.<ref name='a2mc10'/>
* In a city plaza, Iroha coordinates the search for Himena, who is believed to be in Sakae Ward. Tsuruno speculates Himena will appear in person at the 1090 area to bolster credibility. Hinano reports most Witches are defeated and offers to distribute the collected Grief Seeds. Felicia also relays that the entire Tokime Clan is coming to assist. Iroha is relieved but notes Sana is still injured and being cared for by Livia at the Coordinator's. Iroha's group observes TV crews and speculates people are waiting for news about Kamihama. Through telepathy, Mifuyu reports no leads on Himena or Tsukasa and widens the search from Chuo to Sakae Ward.<ref name='a2mc10'/>
* In a ruined street, Shizuka, Chiharu, Chika, and Ryouko arrive at a restricted zone near Puella Care where Chika detects several Magical Girls. Shizuka confirms it's neutral territory, but with Puella Care absent, it's ripe for trouble. They are surrounded by Neo-Magius Feathers who chose to stay and fight despite retreat orders. Chiharu chastises them for staining their hands with evil. The Feathers attack, but Shizuka reveals getting caught was their intention to defeat the pawns and clear the path to Himena.<ref name='a2mc10'/>
* On their own, Tsukuyo and Mifuyu find nothing and a message reveals Momoko's group also found nothing in abandoned buildings. Tsukuyo suggests finding San for information and Mifuyu, recalling her combat style which preferred wide-open spaces for her gatling guns, deduces she would be at Sakae General School, close to the 1090 area. Mifuyu asks Tsukuyo to continue searching for Tsukasa alone while she teams up with Iroha to confront San.<ref name='a2mc10'/>
* At Sakae School, Iroha's group is ambushed by San, Miyuri, and Feathers. San admits they planned to ambush the Union but were found first. A fierce battle ensues where San declares they will fight for their own happiness. In the battle, Mifuyu demonstrates significantly improved combat skills, dodging San's shots, and Felicia and Tsuruno launch a combined attack on her too, yet she remains unharmed. Mifuyu orders them to retreat and San challenges Mifuyu to a one-on-one fight. Mifuyu states she will attack from the inside using illusions, forcing San to face the dreadful problems she knows about as her former superior. Mifuyu's illusion forces San to relive key memories where she sees the beautiful, jewel-like flames of the Hikarizuka Fire Festival that formed her identity. She feels deep nostalgia and love for Hikarizuka's everyday life and people, but then the scene shifts to the Chairman and Tatsu destroying a portable shrine, telling her she can't stay and must move on, that the Fire Festival is over. San desperately resists, declaring Hikarizuka her home and vowing to keep the festival alive. The illusion shows the portable shrine burning, which San finds beautiful. She realizes the God of the fire burns the present to prepare for the future and understands that to truly believe in the Fire Festival, she must move on and not fight reality.<ref name='a2mc10'/>
* Back at the school, San awakens and Miyuri is frantic. Mifuyu explains she showed San an illusion to help her step into the future by overcoming loss and the stagnation caused by clinging to the past. San acknowledges that everyone else moving on isn't abandonment but the start of a new path, and that the people of Hikarizuka care for her and want her to change with them. Mifuyu tells Miyuri there is more to love than devotion and obedience. Felicia and Tsuruno prepare to force information from San and Iroha pleads for Himena's location. San refuses, wanting to honor Himena wishes, however a White Feather reveals that Himena is in an abandoned museum. San is angered, but the Feather says they've done enough. Iroha decides to investigate despite the risk of a trap and Ui also agrees.<ref name='a2mc10'/>
* Elsewhere, Shigure and Hagumu rush, discussing Himena's strange "get out of Kamihama" message. They suspect she imbued something with falsification magic and worry she might do something to Magical Girls to turn the tables.<ref name='a2mc10'/>
* Outside a hospital, Tsukasa reflects on why she came there, as it was a place important to her and Tsukuyo as twins. Kanagi and Mitama find her and they reveal they have cut ties with the Neo-Magius after being shown hope. They show her a "Student Conference for the Future of Kamihama City" petition with growing signatures, proving young people are speaking out to change East-West relations. They also reveal the mayor's election manipulation was a Neo-Magius ploy by Himena. They urge her to rethink her choices and mention that Mifuyu and Tsukuyo are looking for her to break the suggestion. They apologize for misleading her and leave to take responsibility for their actions.<ref name='a2mc10'/>
* At Mizuna Shrine, Tsukuyo searches for Tsukasa. She finds Take, from the Amane Bamboo Studio, collapsed, mistaking her for Tsukasa. He says her father knows they meet there and begs to go home, mentioning he couldn't eat his favorite food. Tsukuyo realizes he is dehydrated, and recalling the hospital where she and Tsukasa confirmed they were twins, deduces Tsukasa will be there.<ref name='a2mc10'/>
* Outside the hospital, Tsukuyo finds Tsukasa. She explains she found her due to Take's collapse and her memory of the hospital. Tsukasa is remorseful, realizing her actions nearly killed Take and would have devastated her father. Tsukuyo understands Tsukasa acted for their future together but states while the past cannot change, they can act now. She asks Tsukasa to join her and Mifuyu to dispel the suggestion and Tsukasa agrees, aiming to broadcast the counter-magic across Japan via the 1090 signal. A message arrives revealing Himena's hiding place is the abandoned museum in Sakae Ward.<ref name='a2mc10'/>
* Meanwhile on her own, Kagome runs through the city and senses everyone's reactions.<ref name='a2mc10'/>
* At the city plaza, Iroha's group detects Himena's signature in the abandoned Memory Museum. They are joined by Yachiyo, who returns from her TV appearance and the group enters the museum. Inside, they confront Himena and Iroha argues against ruling over humans, believing people can understand without force. Himena laughs, calling humans shallow and untrustworthy, comparing them to Kyubey. She states she will become a god to force acknowledgment. Iroha mentions they have stopped Kanagi, Mitama, and Ao, but Himena says she already heard. Iroha pleads to work together to find a new way for Himena's salvation, but Himena rejects it again, wanting to be saved immediately and tired of denial.<ref name='a2mc10'/>

* Himena fights alone against the group. She uses synthesized magic: first Felicia's "Oblivion" to make Yachiyo forget, then Tsuruno's "Good Luck" to try and send Mifuyu into a nightmare hallucination, which is then blocked by Yachiyo. She reveals she has been harvesting magic from their attacks using Ui's "Harvesting" power. However, she suddenly coughs and collapses, her Soul Gem cloudy from overuse. The group realizes combining abilities drains Himena's magic excessively. Himena admits she made a miscalculation with Ui's magic and she reveals her plan to steal all eight Kimochi Stones and the Automatic Purification System. She then discloses her trap was devices rigged to Kamihama's power grid to command all Magical Girls to break their own Soul Gems.<ref name='a2mc10'/>
* In an alleyway, Kanagi, Mitama, and Puella Care are destroying one of Himena's remote control devices. Livia explains they detected Himena's intentions during a coordination and has been monitoring the trap. They prioritized stopping it over chasing Kanagi and Mitama. The group recovers and Yozuru and Sudachi perform adjustments to help them recover.<ref name='a2mc10'/>
[[File:103105 neo magus.jpg|thumb]]
* Back in the museum, Himena's trap fails and Felicia and Tsuruno attack to destroy Himena's phone, but she protects it. Suddenly, Shigure, Hagumu, San, and Miyuri appear, compelled to protect Himena despite her orders to leave. They express that though they cannot condone her methods, they don't want her to lose as they know her kind side. San states she likes Himena more than she thought and Shigure and Hagumu admit they might like her too.<ref name='a2mc10'/>
* The Union is reinforced by Sana, Shizuka, Momoko, and others. Miyuri admits defeat and San advises Himena to give up, suggesting they try a gentler approach next time. Himena angrily rejects this, stating they have become stronger and found hope, while she faces constant denial of Hiko.<ref name='a2mc10'/>
* Himena's magic is nearly depleted and San and Miyuri beg her to stop before she becomes a Witch. Himena apologizes to Hiko, stating she can't use her final ace because the Neo-Magius is still in Kamihama. Shigure and Hagumu try to stop her and Iroha offers a Grief Seed, pleading for her to choose life and find another way. Himena refuses, saying she's sick of waiting and living in denial is hell. She acknowledges Iroha's ideal of everyone getting along is sweet but not for her.<ref name='a2mc10'/>
* Himena calls out to Kyubey, revealing he had been observing them. She accuses him of promising to let her Doppel out in exchange for causing a fuss. Kyubey denies an alliance, stating he only wanted to use her as a test subject to compare Witch and Doppel energy output and Himena realizes she's been used. She tells Iroha the Lil' Kyubey is locked in the Civic Center and can serve as a hub for the Kimochi and Purification System instead of Ui. She asks Iroha to take care of Shigure and the others, stating she wants to support them even in death. As she reaches her limit, Kyubey notes she will be a good sample for the universe. Himena bids farewell to her friends and prepares to join Hiko.<ref name='a2mc10'/>
* As everyone screams for Himena, Alexandra appears and purifies her Soul Gem with a Grief Seed. Himena is confused, thinking she must keep fighting. Alexandra states she purified her to keep her alive, scolding herself for running away instead of confronting Himena as a friend. She vows to stay by Himena's side, scold her, heal her, and stop her if she goes too far, because she is her best friend. Himena admits she couldn't press the kill switch because the Neo-Magius was still there, and she was overjoyed when Alexandra appeared. She agrees to stop but warns she might lose control again, but Alexandra and San promise to support her. Himena apologizes to Kyubey for not becoming a Witch, yet Kyubey is indifferent, having obtained the Automatic Purification System.<ref name='a2mc10'/>
* Mifuyu senses Tsukuyo and Tsukasa approaching, and Mikage arrives with them, all frantic as there are only five minutes left. Himena interrupts, proposing a more effective way to break the suggestion by synthesizing magic. She combines Felicia's "Oblivion" and Mifuyu's "Hallucination" and infuses it into the Amane sisters' flutes. Lavi and Nayuta arrive as well and Lavi uses her "Concept Strengthening" to boost the flute's power, aiming to make the press let the incident fade into obscurity. With seconds left, the Amane sisters play their enhanced flutes as the sun rises.<ref name='a2mc10'/>

'''Sixth Day:'''
* Kagome recounts how the flute's sound enveloped Kamihama, making the events feel like a daydream. People forgot the details, but data proving the anomalies remained, creating many unanswered questions. Contrary to Himena's plan, the words "Magical Girl" were never uttered, and the Magical Girls, now in possession of all Kimochi Stones and knowledge to reclaim the Automatic Purification System, kept the truth secret. Kagome is scheduled to meet Tasuke again.<ref name='a2mc10'/>
* In the park, Himena internally apologizes to Hiko but decides to keep living for her friends. Shigure, Hagumu, San, and Miyuri discuss their next steps involve cleaning up the Community Center. San will move forward with the Youth Association to eventually revive the Fire Festival as an adult and Alexandra suggests Himena buy a new phone, as she threw the dangerous one away. Himena also decides to wait until her mother is less angry.<ref name='a2mc10'/>
* At an arcade, Juri, Ranka, Ao, and Yuna share embarrassing stories from their time in Ao's soul space. Yuna gives Juri an envelope from Yachiyo, which contains a bill for a smashed window.<ref name='a2mc10'/>
* At Crescent House, the girls return home, and Yachiyo confirms repairs are done and utilities are restored. She gave the invoice to Yuna for Juri. Tsuruno also arrives celebrating Banbanzai's reopening and her father's health. Iroha notes most families are safe. Felicia asks about Kanagi and Mitama, but Yachiyo states they are still missing, along with the Kimochi Stone of Grief, hindering the collection of all eight stones.<ref name='a2mc10'/>
* At Puella Care's trailer, Livia complains about Yozuru's rough adjustments after being injured stopping Himena's trap, and they were unable to chase Kanagi and Mitama due to Livia's condition. Livia states they must find them themselves.<ref name='a2mc10'/>
* At Folklore's base, Kagome speaks with Tasuke, Lavi, Asahi, and Urara. Tasuke states the events in Kamihama were an indicator to test the universe's will. The minimal damage compared to Yukuni offers hope that past tragedies weren't inevitable. He notes Alexandra now sees a future with the Neo-Magius and declares he will resume trying to save Magical Girls, writing a second volume of his book with Nayuta's help, and also invites Kagome to assist. However, Tasuke feels an uneasy premonition, warning they cannot relax as their invisible enemy will strike when they forget.<ref name='a2mc10'/>
* Outside the hospital during the day, Kyubey approaches Kagome, sensing her wish is taking shape and offers to grant it. Kagome refuses for now, stating she will wish only when it can make Magical Girls smile, and keeps the nature of that wish a secret from Kyubey.<ref name='a2mc10'/>
* On her own, Karin enters the Endless Mirrors to find Alina.<ref name='a2mc10'/>

'''Seventh Day:'''
* Kagome, having witnessed the failure of the Neo-Magius' plan and Himena's surrender, notes that all the Kimochi Stones are now gathered and the method to reclaim the Automatic Purification System is known. With the Magical Girls united and a period of quiet, she decides to conduct interviews to record their thoughts.<ref name='a2ac11'>Shown in [[Magia Record Another Story Arc 2 Chapter 11: Reportage of Intersections|Arc 2, Another Story Chapter 11: Reportage of Intersections]]</ref>
* Her first interview is with Promised Blood. Yuna explains that the members have returned to Futatsugi City but she frequently visits Kamihama to interact with other Magical Girls. She expresses a new desire to create a "brighter future," a resolve strengthened by the strange, 14-year mental journey she, Juri, Hikaru, and Ao shared to save Ao. Yuna identifies this as a "sign" of change, evidenced by Juri's magic no longer running amok from stress. The interview is cut short when Juri arrives to inform Yuna that some Promised Blood members still target Kamihama's Magical Girls, confirming that not all conflicts are resolved.<ref name='a2ac11'/>
* Kagome next interviews the Tokime Clan and finds them conducting "social studies" at the 1090 building in Sakae Ward. Shizuka explains that to protect Japan and their wishes, the clan must understand the modern world to foresee the future. The interview quickly reverses as the clan members, overwhelmed by modern terms like "influencer" and "synergy," appoint Kagome as their teacher and bombard her with questions.<ref name='a2ac11'/>
* Kagome then interviews Puella Care. Livia is exhausted from the increased workload with Mitama's absence. She notes the atmosphere between herself, Sudachi, and Yozuru has changed since they learned she lied about her past. Despite this, they remain with her. Livia states she will formally tell them the truth when the time is right. The interview then reverses, with Livia questioning Kagome about the Uwasa of the Wind Evangelist.<ref name='a2ac11'/>
* Finally, Kagome interviews the Neo-Magius through Hagumu and Shigure. They reveal the faction was on the verge of disbandment after Himena's actions. However, Himena passionately persuaded the Feathers to stay, promising a softer approach to Magical Girl supremacy through analog methods like flyers, while maintaining their independence. Hagumu and Shigure speculate Himena's motive is efficiency, as the faction provides access to the Automatic Purification System.<ref name='a2ac11'/>
* After these interviews, all major factions receive a message from Lavi, summoning them to a presentation at the Kamihama Aquarium hosted by the Folklore of Zero.<ref name='a2ac11'/>

'''Eighth Day:'''
[[File:103204 abandon smartphone4.jpg|thumb]]
* Himena, believing her role in the conflict is over, goes to the harbor and throws her phone—which contained the backup for her nightmare-inducing device—into the sea. Unbeknownst to her, Mikoto Sena, using the powers of the Endless Mirrors, retrieves the phone.<ref name='a2mc11'>Shown in [[Magia Record Main Story Arc 2 Chapter 11: The End of the Cycle of Joy and Sorrow|Arc 2, Chapter 11: The End of the Cycle of Joy and Sorrow]]</ref>

* After the failure of Neo Magius' plan, Kagome, moved by the peaceful time achieved by the united Magical Girls, decides to conduct interviews to preserve a record of their experiences and feelings. She visits the leaders of the major factions.<ref name='a2ac11'/>
* Kagome interviews Yuna Kureha of Promised Blood in a park. Yuna explains that most of her group returned to Futatsugi City but regularly visits Kamihama to interact with other Magical Girls. She reveals that some Promised Blood members still hold grudges against Kamihama Magical Girls, and she must go to persuade them. Before leaving, Yuna notes a significant change: Juri's magic, which was once unstable due to stress, has completely stopped its violent rampages. Yuna suggests this is a "sign" that they too can change.<ref name='a2ac11'/>
* Kagome next attempts to interview the Tokime Clan in Sakae Ward. She finds Shizuka and her clan members conducting "social studies" to better understand the modern world and fulfill their mission to protect the Land of the Rising Sun. The session turns into an impromptu lesson where Kagome is pressured into answering the clan's questions about modern terminology like "influencer" and "synergy."<ref name='a2ac11'/>
* Kagome then interviews Livia of Puella Care at their busy caravan. Livia explains that their services have become extremely popular, partly due to a Magical Girl's promotion. She notes a changed atmosphere between herself, Sudachi, and Yozuru, stemming from the two discovering Livia had concealed parts of her past. Livia states she will clarify things with them when the time is right. The interview reverses, and Livia questions Kagome about the origins of the "Rumor of the Wind Evangelist," which Kagome reluctantly explains.<ref name='a2ac11'/>
* Finally, Kagome interviews Hagumu and Shigure of Neo-Magius. They reveal the organization was on the verge of dissolution after Himena's plan to kill non-allied Magical Girls was exposed, however, Himena passionately persuaded the members to stay, promising a softer, more analog approach to promoting Magical Girl supremacy. Hagumu and Shigure speculate Himena's motive was to maintain a usable asset, but they acknowledge it felt true to her character.<ref name='a2ac11'/>
* Immediately after the interviews, a message from Lavi summons the leaders of all major groups to the Kamihama Aquarium for a briefing on the Folklore of Zero and Yukuni City.<ref name='a2ac11'/>

* Iroha expresses doubt about her ability to protect everyone's feelings, especially with Touka and Nemu still in a coma. A reminder from Lavi announces a presentation by the Folklore of Zero group at the Kamihama Aquarium.<ref name='a2mc11'/>
* Iroha and Kagome encounter Kyubey and Iroha demands the return of the Automatic Purification System. Kyubey refuses, stating that as long as Magical Girls reject becoming Witches, no compromise exists. Kagome expresses her desire to reveal the existence of Magical Girls to the public, believing it will lead to a kinder world, but Kyubey warns this could trigger a catastrophic reaction from the "Will of the Universe" theory.<ref name='a2mc11'/>
* Later, at the Folklore of Zero meeting, the groups of Promised Blood, the Tokime Clan, and the Neo-Magius are also present. Tasuke and the members of Folklore of Zero express their renewed hope after witnessing the peaceful resolution of conflicts in Kamihama. Tasuke apologizes for his previous belief that the only salvation for Magical Girls was erasure before they fell to despair. He requests that the Kamihama Magia Union accept his team, and the Union formally welcomes them as well.<ref name='a2mc11'/>
* Livia arrives and informs the group that Mitama and Kanagi are still missing. However, Sudachi has located them using the other Kimochi Stones, narrowing down their location to a particular beach. Livia, Yozuru, and Sudachi prepare to retrieve them, stating they require "darkness" for this mission and ask the others to stay behind.<ref name='a2mc11'/>
* Later, Iroha, Ui, and Mifuyu visit the comatose Touka and Nemu in the Satomi Medical Center. Their physical bodies are fully healed, but their minds remain unresponsive. They encounter Tasuke, who is being hospitalized for a medical examination at his brother's insistence, which makes Nayuta distress. Mifuyu also reveals that Karin has gone missing inside the Endless Mirrors Labyrinth, and search efforts have so far failed.<ref name='a2mc11'/>
* At the beach, Livia, Yozuru, and Sudachi find Mitama and Kanagi. The two Magical Girls are on the verge of becoming Witches, their souls entangled with grief after forcibly fusing it into themselves to resist the Kimochi Stone's control. They believe their return would only cause others pain, and Livia's team begins a dangerous Coordination procedure to save them.<ref name='a2mc11'/>
* They first transmit the positive feelings and acceptance collected from the Magical Girls of Kamihama, which provides temporary relief. For a permanent cure, Livia decides they must contextualize Mitama and Kanagi's grief by showing them greater suffering. Livia begins to project her own traumatic past into their minds: her father's death, her abuse in an orphanage, her life as a runaway, her capture by human traffickers, and her eventual contract with Kyubey, where she wished to "become evil itself." The process shows signs of working, as the roots of grief binding Mitama and Kanagi begin to loosen.<ref name='a2mc11'/>
* Livia concludes the projection of her memories to Mitama and Kanagi. She recounts her life after her wish: her return to society, her struggle with a personal magic that passively brings misfortune to those she helps, and the tragic death of her social worker, at her own wedding. This final catastrophe leads Livia to a revelation from Kyubey that Magical Girls exist to generate energy to sustain the universe. She decides to live solely for this purpose, believing it will redirect the misfortune caused by her magic toward Kyubey and the universe itself.<ref name='a2mc11'/>
* Witnessing Livia's immense suffering provides Mitama and Kanagi with the perspective needed to contextualize their own grief. They resolve to "devour" their sorrows and use them as nourishment to move forward. This act of acceptance causes the Kimochi of Grief to manifest. Livia's team helps them subdue it. Mitama and Kanagi, now freed from their despair, return to Kamihama with the final Kimochi Stone.<ref name='a2mc11'/>
* Iroha Tamaki meets with the leaders of the other factions—the Kamihama Magia Union, Promised Blood, the Tokime Clan, Folklore of Zero, and the Neo-Magius—to discuss the future. They all express a shared desire for a peaceful future without internal conflict. The arrival of Mitama and Kanagi with their Kimochi now completes the set of eight Kimochi Stones.<ref name='a2mc11'/>
[[File:103302 leader field in.jpg|thumb]]

* All the factions gather at the neutral zone in Chuo Ward. Iroha and Ui, with the support of all the leaders, communicate their resolve to the assembled Kimochi, promising a gentle future and gaining their trust one by one. The Kimochi Stones empower Iroha and Ui to locate and enter the realm of the Automatic Purification System.<ref name='a2mc11'/>
* Inside the Automatic Purification System, Iroha, Ui, the faction leaders, and Kagome enter the system's Labyrinth. They find it appears as a transparent version of the real world. Their goal is to reach the core and reconnect it to Iroha, Ui, and Lil' Kyubey to reclaim it from Kyubey.<ref name='a2mc11'/>
* However, Kyubey reveals this was his plan all along. He'd allowed them to enter with the Kimochi Stones so he could fuse with the system's concept while Iroha controls the Kimochi's energy, granting him total control over both the system and the power of the Witch Eve. He seizes Iroha and Lil' Kyubey in Isolation Fields, rendering them unconscious.<ref name='a2mc11'/>
* The faction leaders fight off Oscar Familiars generated by Kyubey while Ui senses that Iroha and the Kimochi have not given up. Iroha breaks free from Kyubey's control with the Kimochi's help, and despite Kyubey's warning that becoming the core could destroy her ego, Iroha, encouraged by the others, attempts to fuse with the core.<ref name='a2mc11'/>
* In Endless Mirrors, Mikoto speaks to Alina, stating a cynical view that no one can be saved and that hope inevitably ends in despair.<ref name='a2mc11'/>
* Karin ventures deeper into the Endless Mirrors Labyrinth to find Alina, finding it unnaturally empty. A copy of Kaede appears and informs Karin that the ruler of the Labyrinth has been waiting for her. The copy presents Karin with a choice to either return to her friends or proceed to meet Alina and Mikoto Sena.<ref name='a2mc11'/>
* Karin chooses to find Alina and is taken to her, finding that she has allied with the spirit of Mikoto Sena. Alina reveals she has abandoned Karin's "Reformation Project" in favor of Mikoto's "Evolution Project," which aligns with her belief that humanity unconsciously desires destruction. Mikoto proposes a challenge: if Karin journeys with them through history and still believes in hope, she will return Alina. Karin agrees.<ref name='a2mc11'/>
[[File:103203 andes puella.jpg|thumb]]
* Mikoto uses the mirrors to show Karin scenes from human history, each depicting cycles of destruction arising from malice, misguided goodwill, and systemic rejection, such as genocide, ritual sacrifice, religious wars, and gender-based conflict. She argues this proves hope inevitably turns to despair.<ref name='a2mc11'/>
* Mikoto then shows a story from Kamihama's own past: the tale of the Battle Shamanesses, Tsuyu Mizuna of the West and Chizuru of the East. Initially, their alliance brings peace and hope, uniting the East and West, however, the distrust and ambition of their fathers shatter this peace. A supposed peace conference is a trap, leading to betrayal and battle, and in the ensuing chaos, Chizuru's father has Tsuyu's father killed. When Tsuyu and Chizuru attempt to stop the fighting with a display of combined power, a hidden gunman working for Chizuru's father mortally wounds Tsuyu. Consumed by grief and betrayal, Tsuyu becomes a Witch cursing the East, cementing a cycle of hatred that would plague Kamihama for centuries. Mikoto presents this as a local example of hope yielding to despair.<ref name='a2mc11'/>
* Faced with this evidence, Karin counters that humanity is not purely destructive. She argues that the existence of hopeful stories in media and the current reunification of East and West in modern Kamihama prove that despair can also turn to hope. She asserts that human nature is a messy "gray," not destined for a single outcome. Alina finds this perspective amusing and novel.<ref name='a2mc11'/>
* Mikoto, motivated by her personal grudge, is not convinced. She declares the current situation in Kamihama—specifically, Iroha's attempt to reclaim the Automatic Purification System—will serve as the ultimate experiment to determine whether hope ends in despair or despair ends in hope.<ref name='a2mc11'/>
* At the Satomi Medical Center, Tasuke undergoes a medical examination at his brother's insistence. Tasuke confirms that the circumstances for Magical Girls are at a critical juncture, with the potential for them to be released from their destiny of becoming Witches. He reaffirms his intent to publish the truth about Magical Girls in his book, believing it is necessary for humanity to become kinder, and his brother now offers his support too.<ref name='a2mc11'/>
* Within the Automatic Purification System's Labyrinth, Iroha's group witnesses all the Magical Girls outside the Labyrinth collapse simultaneously into unconscious, pained states, on the verge of becoming Witches. Kyubey also confirms the scene is real and not an illusion. Himena recognizes the phenomenon as identical to the nightmare-inducing trap she created but insists she had destroyed the device.<ref name='a2mc11'/>
* The group deduces that the only way to save the Magical Girls in time is to reclaim the Automatic Purification System so they can summon Doppels instead of becoming Witches. However, Kyubey reveals he has hidden the system's core, forcing them to choose between searching for it or attempting to aid the dying Magical Girls directly.<ref name='a2mc11'/>
* Iroha attempts to use her connection to Ui, the Kimochi, and Lil' Kyubey to locate the core, but the Kimochi reject her. The Kimochi Stones transfer to Lavi, whose feelings of resignation and despair now align with theirs. Believing that any attempt to reveal Magical Girls to the world will be met with catastrophic retaliation from the universe, Lavi gains a new form and declares her new goal: to seize the Automatic Purification System and peacefully "save" all Magical Girls by euthanizing them before they can experience despair.<ref name='a2mc11'/>
* A battle ensues between Lavi, empowered by all eight Kimochi, and the faction leaders. Yuna, Shizuka, and Himena are swiftly defeated but succeed in protecting Iroha, Ui, and Lil' Kyubey. Iroha heals the leaders, and they resolve to face Lavi together.<ref name='a2mc11'/>
* They catch up to Lavi in the Hokuyo Ward area of the Labyrinth. After another failed direct assault, Himena uses her personal magic to synthesize the magic from the unconscious girls to momentarily incapacitate Lavi. She uses:
** Nayuta's magic, to make Lavi lose the will to fight.<ref name='a2mc11'/>
** Mikage's Physical Collapse magic to make her body falter.<ref name='a2mc11'/>
** Alexandra's relaxation magic to calm her down.<ref name='a2mc11'/>
* Iroha, Ui, and Lil' Kyubey use this opening to physically connect with her, entering a state of shared consciousness.<ref name='a2mc11'/>
* Inside Lavi's heart, Iroha challenges her resignation, arguing that those who have truly given up do not fight like she is. She asserts that Lavi's desire to "save" Magical Girls through euthanasia proves she still holds a fragment of hope. Confronted with this and memories of her friends, Lavi admits she does not want to give up. This emotional shift causes the Kimochi to violently rebel against her.<ref name='a2mc11'/>
[[File:103304 connect iroha lavi.jpg|thumb]]
* Lavi offers Iroha the Kimochi, challenging her to subdue them with her feelings as a final test of whether hope can prevail. Iroha, with Ui and Lil' Kyubey's support, accepts the Kimochi. She endures their torment and convinces them that Magical Girls are not yet defeated. The Kimochi cease their resistance and fully synchronize with Iroha. The connection ends, and the Kimochi Stones return to Iroha's bracelet.<ref name='a2mc11'/>
* Iroha and the others are then immersed in a dream world where Ui, Touka and Nemu are alive, but none of their friends became Magical Girls.<ref name='dust'>Shown in [[Magia Record Story Stardust Mirage|Stardust Mirage]]</ref>
** Iroha and Ui begin their new life at Mikazuki Villa after their parents move overseas. On her first day of school, Iroha sits next to Rena Minami, and they discuss the meaning of true happiness. After a tentative start, Rena walks Iroha home with Kaede joining them.<ref name='dust'/>
*** That evening, Iroha asks the Villa residents about happiness. Yachiyo values her shelter work, Sana is grateful for her found family, and Ui is simply happy to be healthy. Iroha realizes she has time to find her own answer.<ref name='dust'/>
** A few weeks later, Iroha now walks to school daily with Rena and Kaede. While running an errand, they comfort Momoko, whose accidental confession led to a relationship. They celebrate at a maid cafe, where Iroha meets Ryo, a photographer who captures smiles. She sees many forms of happiness in the cafe's workers.<ref name='dust'/>
*** That evening, Iroha finds a lost girl named Shizuka and brings her to the Villa. That night, two runaways arrive: Nayuta, escaping her parents' dysfunctional marriage, and Yuna, the mayor's overlooked daughter. After sharing their feelings, Nayuta reconciles with her arriving parents, and Yuna decides to confront her father directly.<ref name='dust'/>
** The next morning, the runaways depart. Later at school, rumors spread about a girl who fell from her building. Iroha visits Touka and Nemu at the hospital, where she learns the victim was a girl named Reira.<ref name='dust'/>
*** That evening, Iroha calls her parents overseas, filled with gratitude. She resolves to cherish everything.<ref name='dust'/>
** The following months, inspired by Ryo, Iroha begins photographing everyone's smiles. As troubled girls visit Mikazuki Villa, she becomes more counselor than shelter worker, meeting many people and documenting both joys and sorrows.<ref name='dust'/>
** Iroha and Yachiyo investigate a rumor at Suitoku Temple. They meet Ryoko, the temple's protector, Sakuya, a runner with a suspended team, and Manaka, who has prayed for one hundred days for her family's failing restaurant, Walnut's. Iroha suggests they all eat there.<ref name='dust'/>
** Iroha organizes a party at Walnut's to thank everyone who has helped her while promoting the restaurant. Many friends gather, share good news, and Iroha takes a group photo.<ref name='dust'/>
** Days after the party, Touka and Nemu's conditions worsen before stabilizing, reminding Iroha of life's fragility. Walking home, she witnesses the same girl who bumped into her earlier fall to her death—Ren Isuzu, a bullying victim. Iroha is traumatized.<ref name='dust'/>
** The next day, unable to rest, Iroha visits Mizuna Shrine and meets Himena, who jokes about wishing for world peace. Iroha breaks down. Himena reveals her boyfriend was bullied to death and hints at something unforgivable, but tells Iroha to look forward.<ref name='dust'/>
** Several days later, Himena exposes her boyfriend's bullies online, then announces her suicide. In a video to Iroha, she explains her choice and asks Iroha to create the happy future she envisions.<ref name='dust'/>
** Iroha throws herself into volunteer work. One day, she encounters a feral girl named Felicia who snaps at her, then runs into traffic. Iroha pushes her to safety but is hit by a truck.<ref name='dust'/>
*** Iroha should be dead, but she is a Magical Girl. Through the Kimochi, she connects with the collective thoughts of Magical Girls, seeing the peaceful world they all long for, the world where they never made their contracts. Voices pour in: Yachiyo wishing for calm days, Yuna regretting bloodshed, Himena acknowledging she would be dead without her wish, Felicia grateful for Mikazuki's support, Touka and Nemu recognizing their wishes saved their lives.<ref name='dust'/>
*** Ui reminds Iroha she would not be alive if she had not become a Magical Girl. Iroha understands that true happiness is connecting everyone's dreams and weaving a future that ends in hope. She chooses the present and returns to reality.<ref name='dust'/>

* Lavi, now freed, apologizes and vows to work for a future where Magical Girls can live. The group reunites with the goal of taking back the Automatic Purification System. Ui, reflecting on Lavi's fears and the cryptic hypothesis from Touka and Nemu, comes to a realization. She concludes that even if Iroha reclaims the system, it may not be a complete solution. Resolving to ensure their success, Ui decides she must become the core of the Automatic Purification System herself.<ref name='a2mc11'/>
* Iroha, Ui, and Lavi confront Kyubey at the core, with Ui declaring she fully intends to become the new core of the system. However, Kyubey reveals he has achieved complete control over it. He explains that because all Kyubey bodies share a single consciousness, defeating the one fused with the core is meaningless; they would need to eliminate every Kyubey in the universe to sever his control, which is impossible. He also states he can now command the Kimochi Stones once they're released they are released.<ref name='a2mc11'/>
* Ui's attempt to attack the core Kyubey fails, as another body immediately replaces it. Faced with this impossible situation, Iroha and Lavi see no way to win.<ref name='a2mc11'/>
* In the Endless Mirrors Labyrinth, Alina prepares to give the spirit of Mikoto to the incomplete Mirror Witch as a "gift," which will allow Mikoto to become whole and enact her plan for ultimate destruction. Karin protests, but Alina makes a promise: if Mikoto succeeds in destroying Kamihama, Alina will believe humanity's future is despair and continue to pursue destruction. If Mikoto fails, Alina will believe in a future of happiness and follow Karin's "Reformation Project." Alina then sends Karin away and proceeds with Mikoto's plan.<ref name='a2mc11/>
* Within the Automatic Purification System, as hope seems lost, Kagome finally resolves to make a contract. She wishes for "the power to make Kyubey and his kind unable to interfere with the Automatic Purification System forever." Her wish is granted, and she becomes a Magical Girl, now causing even Aru to manifest and speak with her directly.<ref name='a2mc11'/>
[[File:103305 kagome birth1.jpg|thumb]]
* Empowered by her wish, Kagome forces Kyubey's influence out of the Automatic Purification System. Kagome and Aru fly over Kamihama City, using her new magic to systematically locate and eliminate Kyubey's bodies within the city with her leaves.<ref name='a2mc11'/>
* As Kagome's wish takes effect, Mikoto leads Alina towards the center of Endless Mirrors, where she is to give Mikoto's persona to the Witch, and Mikoto will then bring forth ultimate destruction.<ref name='a2mc11'/>

* Kagome removes all of Kyubey from Kamihama and completely severs his ability to disrupt the purification system. Ui prepares to restore the Automatic Purification System to gather impurities from unconscious Magical Girls before they turn into Witches, making Doppels possible again. Iroha states that even the hypothetical "Will of the Universe" cannot stand against them, as Magical Girls sustain the universe.<ref name='a2mc12'>Shown in [[Magia Record Main Story Arc 2 Chapter 12: Tying The Eternal Coloring|Arc 2, Chapter 12: Tying The Eternal Coloring]]</ref>
* Inside the Endless Mirrors, Alina and Mikoto find the incomplete Mirrors Witch, which, lacking a persona, knew nothing but fear and to tremble. Alina follows Mikoto's instructions and places her hand on the empty Winchester, transferring Mikoto's persona to the Witch. Mikoto and the Mirrors Witch, now one, awakens fully and happily declares that she will no longer have to see the faces of those who mourn.<ref name='a2mc12'/>
* Livia, Yozuru, and others arrive to Iroha's location with the hurt faction leaders and the necessary Grief Seeds to help them. Despite their injuries, Yuna and Shizuka urge Iroha to prioritize activating the system.<ref name='a2mc12'/>
* Iroha, Ui, and Lil' Kyubey unite to channel the energy from the Kimochi Stones and spread the Automatic Purification System's barrier worldwide. However, their attempt is blocked by a powerful Witch, quickly identified by Lavi and Iroha as originating from the Endless Mirrors. Kyubey also appears and confirms the Witch's interference is to blame, even allowing him to bypass the recently established barrier of the purification system.<ref name='a2mc12'/>
* Familiars from Endless Mirrors appear and target Ui specifically. Livia, Lavi, and the others defend her while Iroha performs emergency healing on the injured Yuna and Shizuka. Kagome also arrives, having redirected herself after jumping skyward after her contract.<ref name='a2mc12'/>
[[File:103301 littleqb kill1.jpg|thumb]]

* The group confirms the Mirror Witch has engulfed Kamihama City in its Labyrinth, disabling the Automatic Purification System's barrier. Kagome then realizes she may have inadvertently triggered the Witch's attack; in the past, she signed a mysterious oath with an Endless Mirrors Familiar to "destroy all Magical Girls." Kyubey states that by breaking this oath and becoming a Magical Girl herself, Kagome gave the Witch an opportunity to act. However, Iroha rejects Kyubey's attempt to place blame on Kagome and reaffirms their goal to defeat the Witch. Iroha, Ui, and the Lil' Kyubey attempt to fuse again to channel the Kimochi Stones' power to reactivate the system.<ref name='a2mc12'/>

===Timeline A===
[[File:103301 littleqb kill2.jpg|thumb]]
* However, suddenly Lil' Kyubey is killed with one of Iroha's arrows.<ref name='a2mc12'/>
* A copy of Iroha declares she killed Lil' Kyubey, and the group quickly defeat her.<ref name='a2mc12'/>
[[File:103301 alina.jpg|thumb]]
* As they're mourning, Karin arrives and reveals Alina and Mikoto Sena are responsible for the Mirror Witch's attack. She explains that merging Mikoto's persona with the Witch completed its form, and its goal is to create a time paradox to annihilate the universe. Kyubey also confirms that a paradox would destroy the world. Lavi urges Iroha and Ui to fight, and they resolve to create a miracle.<ref name='a2mc12'/>
* At Satomi Medical Center, Touka's father notes several unconscious girls, including Mitsune and Konomi.<ref name='a2mc12'/>
* The group devises a plan to destroy all the small mirrors to break the barrier around a large central mirror, which they believe contains the Witch. They split into teams and use the power of the Kimochi Stones, with the recipients being Iroha, Ui, Kagome, Shizuka, Yuna, Himena, Lavi, and Livia.<ref name='a2mc12'/>
* Karin declines to join the teams, stating she has a personal task. Kagome uses her magic and Aru's clones to gather information and track enemies. The teams destroy mirrors through the night, as they identify Mirror copies by testing magical signatures and personal knowledge about the girls.<ref name='a2mc12'/>
* Himena, blaming herself for the unconscious Magical Girls, resolves to go to the Puella Care caravan and use her unique magic to synthesize the powers of seven specific girls: Hotori Yuzuki, Rion Yuzuki, Yuuna Kaharu, Meguru Hibiki, Ashley Taylor, Sasara Minagi, and Hikaru Kirari, even though it risks her life.<ref name='a2mc12'/>
* Iroha and Ui save Himena from Familiars, allowing her to focus on the synthesis. Himena retrieves the seven magics and transfers Meguru's "live commentary" magic to Iroha. She instructs Iroha to use it to power up both allies and enemies as part of her strategy.<ref name='a2mc12'/>
* Livia, Yozuru, and Sudachi find the original Labyrinth at the Mirrors Manor destroyed. They see copies recycling energy toward the giant mirror and destroy a Familiar that was about to become a Witch. Livia theorizes the giant mirror may not be the Witch's true location.<ref name='a2mc12'/>
* Iroha begins her live commentary. Himena uses the synthesized magic in sequence: Hotori's "heroic introduction" to stun her enemies, Rion's "binding" to lock their movements, and Yuuna's "submission" to pacify them.<ref name='a2mc12'/>
* However, Iroha's commentary strengthens the Witches, allowing them to break free. Himena uses Sasara's "provoke" and Hikaru's "devotion" to face them, then uses Ashley's "switch" magic to turn the Witches' amplified power against themselves, destroying the barrier mirrors but greatly exhausting herself.<ref name='a2mc12'/>
* Kagome notes the Familiars show no distress and Lavi reports a second barrier is in place. Yozuru's team reports that energy is being funneled into the giant mirror, theorizing it is the weapon intended to cause the paradox. An Aru clone relays to Lavi that the Mirror Witch's true plan is to travel to the past to prevent human evolution, erasing humanity, which Kyubey also confirms. Lavi entrusts Karin with delivering the Aru clone, which holds this intelligence, back to the main group.<ref name='a2mc12'/>
* The group splits: Shizuka, Himena, and Yuna will assault the mirror; Iroha and Ui will stay behind, with Iroha healing the sleeping girls and Ui gathering energy for a final attack; Kagome is sent to retrieve Touka and Nemu from the hospital.<ref name='a2mc12'/>
* Sakurako arrives at the hospital to get Touka and Nemu, and Tasuke and Touka's father help her transport them to a car.<ref name='a2mc12'/>
* Livia, Yozuru, Sudachi, and Lavi infiltrate the enemy ranks using Livia's Coordination magic. They confront copies of Livia and Lavi who command the energy delivery. Both Livia and Lavi fail to interrogate their copies and are forced to defeat their copies. However, their emotional outbursts alert the Familiars, nullifying their disguises.<ref name='a2mc12'/>
* Iroha heals the unconscious girls but is forced to experience their nightmares of dystopian futures where Magical Girls are persecuted. As Iroha experiences more nightmares, Karin and Ui snap her out of it, and Karin leaves to help Kagome.<ref name='a2mc12'/>
* Yuna, Shizuka, and Himena arrive to save the overwhelmed Livia and Lavi. Their joined team shatters the final barrier around the giant mirror.<ref name='a2mc12'/>
* Iroha and Ui prepare to destroy the mirror. Ui gathers energy from the shattered mirrors, and Iroha plans to combine it with Touka and Nemu's magic.<ref name='a2mc12'/>
* Sakurako and Kagome fight Familiars ambushing the transport car and the car explodes. Tasuke and Touka's father are mortally wounded but protected the girls' Soul Gems. As Tasuke and Touka's father die, Tasuke gives Kagome a pen for Nayuta, and Sakurako and Kagome continue with taking Touka and Nemu to Iroha.<ref name='a2mc12'/>
* With the barrier reforming, Iroha and Ui combine their powers without Touka and Nemu. Iroha fires the gathered energy at the giant mirror and destroys it.<ref name='a2mc12'/>
* Kagome and Sakurako arrive too late for the attack, revealing the deaths of Tasuke and Touka's father.<ref name='a2mc12'/>
[[File:103302 caught ui2.jpg|thumb]]
* Suddenly, as Ui starts to gether more energy, the spectral hand of the Mirror Witch appears, seizes Ui's Soul Gem and disappears. Simultaneously, Sakurako, whose existence is tied to Ui, Touka, and Nemu, vanishes. Iroha deduces that this means that Ui is really dead.<ref name='a2mc12'/>
* Kyubey informs the others that the Mirror Witch has taken control of the Automatic Purification System, before he deactivates. Iroha falls into despair over Ui's death. Kagome comforts her, and Iroha resolves to move forward to honor Ui's memory and their bonds.<ref name='a2mc12'/>
* Lavi, Shizuka, Yuna, Himena, and Livia arrive. The group acknowledges their catastrophic situation and comforts Iroha.<ref name='a2mc12'/>
* Yozuru, Sudachi, and Karin arrive. Yozuru reports they turned the copies of Riko and Mikage to their side. Karin reveals she stole a hand mirror from a Familiar, which the copies identify as a device that can travel to the recent past. Iroha proposes using the mirror to go back to when Ui and Lil' Kyubey were alive to save them. The group agrees and moves to Hokuyo Ward where they attempted the fusion.<ref name='a2mc12'/>
* Iroha senses the Witch growing stronger by absorbing energy from Magical Girls turning into Witches as disasters erupt across Kamihama. Alina stops the group and takes Karin, stating she will observe. Karin gives Iroha the hand mirror. Alina reflects on her past and her artistic philosophy.<ref name='a2mc12'/>
* The group encounters a horde of Magical Girls subsumed by their Doppels. Shizuka, Yuna, Himena, and Lavi stay behind to hold them off, urging Iroha, Kagome, Livia, Yozuru, and Sudachi to go on.<ref name='a2mc12'/>
* Yuna, Shizuka, Himena, and Lavi perish in the battle. Their spirits bequeath their power to Yachiyo through her unique magic. Yachiyo uses this power to share strength with Tsuruno, Felicia, and Sana, freeing them temporarily.<ref name='a2mc12'/>
* At the system entrance, Livia, Yozuru, and Sudachi betray Iroha and seize the hand mirror, declaring their allegiance to the Witch. However, Livia's group was faking the betrayal to draw the Witch's attack through Livia's unique magic. They sacrifice themselves to absorb the fatal blow meant for Iroha.<ref name='a2mc12'/>
[[File:103303 last mikazuki.jpg|thumb|left]]
* Iroha and Kagome are besieged by the horde, but Yachiyo, Tsuruno, Felicia, and Sana arrive and hold them back, urging Iroha to take their hope into the future.<ref name='a2mc12'/>
* The Riko and Mikage copies set up the hand mirror. Touka and Nemu contact Iroha telepathically, warning that retrieving Ui and Lil' Kyubey would create a paradox. They propose sending a record of their experiences back instead. Aru produces a leaf with the record.<ref name='a2mc12'/>
[[File:103303 leaf irohahand2.jpg|thumb]]
* The magic sustaining the copies breaks with Yozuru and Sudachi's deaths. The Riko and Mikage copies revert, destroying the hand mirror. Iroha is left with no options and prays for a happy future. The leaf glows and disappears.<ref name='a2mc12'/>
* Alina declares the scene to be fine art. Karin resolves to fight, and Alina joins her, naming Karin a "Brilliant Girl" and declaring the final battle begun.<ref name='a2mc12'/>

===Timeline B===
* Nine hours earlier, at 6 PM.<ref name='a2mc12'/>
* A leaf imbued with Kagome's magic appears before Iroha and Ui, transmitting a vision of the future timeline showing Lil' Kyubey's death, the sacrifices of their friends, and Iroha's despair. They comprehend the message as a record from the previous timeline, and Iroha realizes a copy of herself kills Lil' Kyubey, and the group resolves to change the future.<ref name='a2mc12'/>
[[File:Memoria 1800.jpg|thumb]]
[[File:Adv eve 11711.png|thumb]]
* The faction leaders defend Lil' Kyubey and Ui to prevent the catastrophic future, and Iroha, Ui, and Lil' Kyubey successfully fuse together into Infinite Iroha.<ref name='a2mc12'/> Iroha, Ui and Lil' Kyubey's minds are then pulled in a world created by the Kimochi.<ref name='InfiniteIrohass'>Shown in [[Infinite Iroha#Side Story|Infinite Iroha's Side Story]]</ref>
** Iroha wakes at Mikazuki Villa on a Friday, where Yachiyo reminds her that Magical Girls no longer need to fight thanks to the Automatic Purification System. After school, she meets with Momoko, Rena, and Kaede, and they encounter various familiar faces around the city, including members of the Tokime Clan and Promised Blood at the Coordinator's shop. Iroha feels relieved seeing everyone at peace, believing in Kamihama's future.<ref name='InfiniteIrohass'/>
** The next morning at the villa, everyone except Iroha, Ui, and Lil' Kyubey suddenly freezes in place. The wind and clouds continue moving, but all people have stopped. Investigating, they realize they need to go to Hotel Fendt Hope. In the hotel basement, they find Touka and Nemu, who explain that looking backward toward the past stops all motion while living requires moving forward—everyone became trapped in memories. Before they can explain more, their time stops as well, and the world itself begins freezing. The Kimochi appear, and Iroha understands they are inside a world created by them, seeing the happiness of all Magical Girls. Realizing she and Ui have also stopped, trapped by the warmth of the future they envisioned, they resolve together to set the future in motion.<ref name='InfiniteIrohass'/>
** Iroha wakes in a world within their hearts, where all their friends gather for a picnic under the Eternal Sakura. Iroha clarifies she does not want the exact same days to continue, but she wants to move forward and bring this future into reality. Understanding that this ideal world is the result of the powers of herself, the Kimochi, Ui, Lil' Kyubey, are flowing together, she hopes it becomes real.<ref name='InfiniteIrohass'/>
*** Iroha reflects on how becoming one with Ui, Lil' Kyubey, and the Kimochi allows her to experience everyone's memories. Feeling nostalgic, she looks back on their journey, beginning with the aftermath of defeating the Uwasa. When the group investigated what became of the original Rumors, they found that while the Rumors themselves were gone, they had persisted as mere folklore without any lasting magical influence. This realization left everyone with mixed feelings, but Iroha understood that facing the past enabled them to see the future.<ref name='vib'>Shown in [[Magia Record Event - Vibrant Miracle|Vibrant Miracle]]</ref>
*** After recovering Ui from the Magius, the group worked to expand the Automatic Purification System until Nemu was kidnapped by former Wings members who had chosen to die with their ideals. Iroha realized that even shared feelings could lead to conflict over differing approaches. Though they tried to convince the former Wings to join them in peacefully pursuing the Magius' goals, the bonds formed during this conflict became the foundation for the Kamihama Magia Union, expanding the circle of magical girls despite the fighting that erupted from their misunderstandings.<ref name='vib'/>
*** As magical girls gathered in Kamihama over the Automatic Purification System, conflict erupted over the Kimochi Stones, though this period also brought new friendships with girls like Shizuka and Kagome. During a pause in the fighting, everyone anticipated the All Gods Festival, whose final firework was said to grant a year of health and peace. When the firework fell into the river, Lil' Kyubey protected it, saving the celebration. Grateful, Iroha resolved to fulfill the blessing Lil' Kyubey preserved: that everyone might live in peace and good health.<ref name='vib'/>
*** After the festival, the battles continued with much sorrow. Iroha recalls a strange, dreamlike memory of receiving an invitation to a banquet at Suitoku Temple, where everyone practiced entertainment acts. Despite the embarrassing performances, a heavenly voice encouraged them not to let suffering defeat them, explaining that they lived in a universe without predetermined destiny where they could sculpt their own future. Though forgotten, those kind words remained in Iroha's heart, inspiring her to push through pain and create a future where everyone can be saved.<ref name='vib'/>
*** Iroha tells Lil' Kyubey that despite all the hardships they've faced together, every difficulty ultimately led to hope. With the futures of all magical girls who connected with the Kimochi flowing through her, each one hoping for salvation, she affirms that they must spread the Automatic Purification System worldwide and keep these hopes shining like stars. As she's swept up in everyone's thoughts, Iroha wishes for the visions ahead to be of a happy world overflowing with hope.<ref name='vib'/>

[[File:Memoria 1799.jpg|thumb]]
* Back in reality, Iroha thanks the others for handling the Mirror copies. Ui's form appears ghostly, with Lil' Kyubey acting as their link. The group resolves to assault the Mirrors Mansion, when Touka and Nemu appear, reuniting with Iroha and Ui. They explain they transformed into Uwasa Queens to evade the Will of the Universe, lying dormant until Iroha gathered the Kimochi Stones and Ui recaptured the Automatic Purification System. They now operate by parasitizing Iroha and Ui's magic.<ref name='a2mc12'/>
* The Mirror Witch's forces retreat toward the Puella Care trailer, and Touka and Nemu deduce the Witch anticipates their strategy, which requires the power of the sleeping Magical Girls. Iroha expands her wings to transport the group there at high speed. Upon arrival, Touka and Nemu announce they will transform all the sleeping Magical Girls into Uwasa to liberate them from their nightmares and permanently prevent them from becoming Witches. Iroha instructs Kagome to share the memories with everyone upon awakening, and Touka and Nemu activate their power.<ref name='a2mc12'/>
* As the girls awaken in their Uwasa forms, Mirror Witch offshoots advance on the group. As all the girls have awakened, the newly awakened Rumor Magical Girls reunite with their factions, while Livia announces her group will fight the Witch separately. Yachiyo confirms everyone understands the situation thanks to Kagome's shared memories and Iroha rallies the coalition to enter the Mirrors Mansion and stop the Witch from altering the past.<ref name='a2mc12'/>
* The coalition fights to stem the invasion of Familiars and copies, and Touka and Nemu forge the collective magic into a single arrow for Iroha to use. Iroha strikes first, addressing the Witch and Mikoto directly, and her attack causes the Mirror Witch's Labyrinth to manifest around them. Magical Girls report sensations of their bodies being cut apart and an intense gravitational force immobilizes most of the coalition. Initial attacks prove ineffective, and they notice an invisible barrier that blocks strikes and drains magic. Iroha instructs Touka to convert the Witch's own magic, making the invisible defense visible as shards of glass. She then instructs everyone to target and destroy the shards to weaken the Witch and launch a counteroffensive.<ref name='a2mc12'/>
[[File:Mikoto game over.jpg|thumb]]
* The Witch's defensive barrier breaks, and the Witch's true form is revealed as Winchester. Iroha announces a plan to gather the Witch's magic and power from beyond the Mirrors for a final attack, and the coalition divides to target the Witch's limbs, with the factions each attacking one of the four limbs, while the Magia Union, led by Yachiyo, prepares to confront the Witch's main head.<ref name='a2mc12'/>
* Offshoot Witches appear to guard the limbs. Touka and Nemu instruct Kagome to use her Interview Records, infusing the coalition with the magic of numerous Magical Girls to strengthen them for the assault. Each group successfully immobilizes their respective limb after being powered up by their [[Interview Records]].<ref name='a2mc12'/>
[[File:103304 mirror witch appear2.jpg|thumb]]
* Yachiyo confirms all groups have bound the Witch's limbs and orders the Union to contain the main body until Iroha is ready. As the Witch attacks Iroha, Alina intervenes and saves her by engulfing Iroha into her own Labyrinth. Alina pledges to protect Iroha to witness humanity's defiance, as she now realizes she finds life struggling against death to be the answer she was looking for. Iroha accepts Karin and Alina's alliance and resolves to erase the Witch's curse with her team.<ref name='a2mc12'/>
* Iroha confronts Mikoto Sena's self directly, who believes Magical Girls are inherently tragic despite what Iroha claims. Mikoto's memories begin to fragment and she attacks Iroha again.<ref name='a2mc12'/>
[[File:103304 puella gather.jpg|thumb]]
* The initial assault by Iroha, Ui, Touka, and Nemu fails to defeat the Witch, leaving them drained and vulnerable. As the Witch prepares another attack, the Uwasa of the Wind Evangelist reveals she's travelled through the Mirror Labyrinths to summon help. Magical Girls from countless other timelines and universes begin to arrive through the Mirrors to aid in the battle. Now several Magical Girls from different points in time and space fight the Mirror Witch through the mirrors it formed to cause paradoxes.<ref name='a2mc12'/> Among others, the girls in the fight include:
** [[Oriko Mikuni]] and [[Kirika Kure]] from present-day Mitakihara. It is likely that Oriko, having seen visions of the Mirror Witch, had also somewhat organized and lead this attack.<ref name='a2mc12'/>
** [[Darc]] and [[Liz Hawkwood]] from 15th century France.<ref name='a2mc12'/>
** [[Kazumi Subaru]] and [[Umika Misaki]] from present-day Asurano City.<ref name='a2mc12'/>
** [[Suzune Amano]], [[Haruka Kanade]] and [[Matsuri Hinata]] from Hohzuki.<ref name='a2mc12'/>
* Iroha instructs Kagome to coordinate the allies and Touka declares they must destroy the crossing Mirrors after the Witch's defeat to erase the paradoxes. Mikoto summons a horde of Familiars and Witches from her mirrors and Rena, Momoko, and Kaede lead the defense against them.<ref name='a2mc12'/>
* Alina intervenes again to protect Iroha from Mikoto's attacks, and Touka, Ui, and Nemu gather and channel energy from the multiversal Magical Girls. Shizuka, Yuna, Himena, and Lavi announce the defeat of Mikoto's Familiar army. Iroha delivers the final declaration and unleashes the collective hope of all Magical Girls as their final attack.<ref name='a2mc12'/>
[[File:103304 phantom puella.jpg|thumb]]
* Iroha confronts the true nature of the Mirror Witch, a fusion of Mikoto and countless other Magical Girls from across history who succumbed to despair, including Chizuru. Iroha vows to use present hope to rewrite this history of despair, and in the conflict, Mikoto urges Iroha to show her the hope she speaks of. The Mirror Witch then merges with Iroha, transferring its entire history of curses and sorrow into her. Iroha witnesses the vast tapestry of Magical Girl suffering across time and space. She also sees the pivotal moment in her own life: in nearly every other timeline, she died in a car accident. Her survival was a fluke caused by an unintentional act of time travel from another Magical Girl. This reveals her unique magic is not healing, but instead the power to rewind time for a target.<ref name='a2mc12'/>
* The Mirror Witch and all the mirrors disappear. Iroha announces that as part of the miracle she promised Mikoto, she will rewind every Magical Girl transformed into an Uwasa back into their original forms and fully establish the Automatic Purification System. Her friends recognize the danger and protest, but Iroha insists on this path despite the fact that overuse of her magic will be too much and erase Iroha's very existence.<ref name='a2mc12'/>
* One by one, the leaders, members of the various factions, and her close friends all thank her and bid her a tearful farewell as she disappears, promising to protect the future she created and await her return. As Iroha's physical form begins to fade and she loses the ability to speak or be seen, she shares a final, private moment with Ui, Touka, and Nemu, who join her. They resolve to use the vast energy now at their disposal to expand the Automatic Purification System across the world as the first step toward creating a kinder world for Magical Girls and all people.<ref name='a2mc12'/>
[[File:103304 four system.jpg|thumb]]
* In the Labyrinth of the Doppel System, high above Earth, Iroha, Ui, Lil' Kyubey, Touka, Nemu, Sakurako, and Mikoto watch over the world as the curses of the Mirror Witch finally subside, having demonstrated her ultimate miracle and secured a hopeful future for Magical Girls all around the globe.<ref name='a2mc12'/>

===Epilogue===
* Kagome narrates that the Automatic Purification System spread worldwide, and Magical Girls were saved from their fate. Iroha, Ui, Touka, and Nemu disappeared from general memory, recalled only very vaguely by most people, though Magical Girls remember them clearly.<ref name='a2mc12'/>
* Kagome visits Karin at Sakae Academy to discuss the disappearance of Alina. Karin reveals that Alina has dropped out of school and left the country to fulfill a promise to her, referencing the plan to reform. Alina sends Karin a message from her destination, challenging her to create "antidote" art to counter Alina's own "poison." The message includes a video titled "The Sun...?" which shows a giant LED light in a forest at night, a scene Karin identifies as a battlefield.<ref name='a2mc12'/>
* The group known as Folklore of Zero has effectively disbanded, with its members now acting as a circle of close friends who have effectively joined different factions. Kagome is also in the process of writing a book to document the events of the Kamihama Magical Girls and the final battle, presumably [[Puella Magi Diarium]].<ref name='a2mc12'/>
[[File:103305 nayutafamily.jpg|thumb|left]]

* Kagome visits Nayuta's house to discuss the book's structure. She finds Lavi performing housework and Professor Tasuke, who has forgotten Iroha, present for a memory-refreshing session. Mikage arrives and aggressively questions Kagome about when the book and the truth about Magical Girls will be made public. Tasuke and Kagome explain the book requires significant revision and a carefully considered narrative structure. Tasuke outlines a long-term strategy to reveal the truth, comparing it to the gradual spread of folklore or the step-by-step process of an introductory text. He estimates it will take ten to twenty years for the full story of the Magical Girls to be delivered to the public.<ref name='a2mc12'/>
[[File:103305 neomagus.jpg|thumb]]

* Kagome observes the Neo-Magius and their Feathers in a state of frantic activity. They are searching for and destroying evidence related to a construction incident where the main hall's ceiling collapsed, for which they accept responsibility. Himena explains that she and Hiko created a lecture series to help the Feathers discover their positive qualities and boost their self-esteem. The initiative has shown success, with members like Hagumu feeling more valued for her skills in clothing and acting. However, Miyuri's fixation on photographing legs remains a problematic, unpraiseworthy behavior. Alexandra also informs Himena she will be unavailable to help with a future class, as she will be in Yukuni City with Lavi and other members of the former Folklore of Zero.<ref name='a2mc12'/>
[[File:103305 tokimeclan.jpg|thumb|left]]

* Kagome observes the Tokime Clan in a state of excited chaos as they plan a visit to Minaminagi Park. Ryouko teases Shizuka with exaggerated descriptions of theme park rides, which alarms her. Sunao apologizes for the noise and confirms the group plans to visit the park for fun before returning to Tokime Village, and that Sunao has marked every concession stand on a park map. Asahi practices with a marksmanship tool that Chika suggests will be useful for her work as a nature guide. Shizuka reveals that the current meeting is a rehearsal for their actual trip the following day, demonstrating their high level of enthusiasm for the outing.<ref name='a2mc12'/>
[[File:103305 promisedblood.jpg|thumb]]

* While some members of Promised Blood who held a strong hatred for Kamihama's Magical Girls never change their mind, others develop a sense of camaraderie through their past battles and visit the city on occasion. Kagome encounters Yuna in Kamihama, who explains she is chaperoning Ao and Ranka, not meeting with the Union. Yuna appears more tired than before, despite having fewer responsibilities. Hikaru and Juri are present and their outings often involve trouble, which has resulted in them breaking a boxing arcade machine. Ao and Ranka are engaged in a competitive video game tournament and their strategy is to win tickets to a future tournament with free accommodations, which Ao hopes will serve as a family trip for the group. Yuna, encouraged by the idea, cheers them on and Ao almost calls Yuna "Mom" before catching herself.<ref name='a2mc12'/>

[[File:103305 puellacare.jpg|thumb|left]]
* The three members of Puella Care prepare to leave Kamihama City to help Magical Girls in other regions as part of their journey to redemption. Kyubey goes with them, as Livia insists on living for his mission rather than for the universe. Mitama and Kanagi choose to remain in Kamihama to maintain the student conference and support their many friends.<ref name='a2mc12'/>
* Sometime later, a sense of peace and gratitude for Iroha's actions settles over the Magical Girls, though a feeling of loneliness for the lost friends remains. The girls frequently gather under the Eternal Sakura tree, where they sense a flow of magical impurities being purified and feel Iroha's presence.<ref name='a2mc12'/>
[[File:103305 mikazuki.jpg|thumb]]
* One day, Yachiyo, Momoko, Rena, Kaede, Tsuruno, Sana, and Felicia hold a picnic under the Eternal Sakura. They feel a strong connection to Iroha and Ui, who communicate with them briefly. Iroha explains that she, Ui, Touka, and Nemu are busy managing the records of Magical Girls from the past but will reunite with everyone someday. Iroha states that the place where the records are gathered is called the "Magia Record," and that the future publication of Kagome's book about Magical Girls may one day guide them all back together.<ref name='a2mc12'/>

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

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

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

===Snow-thawing Befana===
* The last day of classes before winter break, Mikage tells her mother she will attend Lavi and Nayuta's Christmas party instead of their family dinner, hoping to experience a normal celebration after years of being teased for her family's strict Christmas rules. On her way, she meets Sudachi and Yozuru, who are dressed as the Three Wise Men for a Puella Care campaign, and joins them at Nayuta's house, where they discover a mysterious stocking stuffed with thirteen handmade confections. A Coordination grants Nayuta and Mikage matching outfits, and Nayuta's new magic summons a bare Christmas tree that pulls them inside an alternate world.<ref name='befana'>Shown in [[Magia Record Event - Snow Thawing Befana|Snow Thawing Befana]]</ref>
** Inside the tree, they find ornaments containing memories of a girl named Rei's life: her loving childhood, her growth into adulthood, and eventually her pregnancy.

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

** Later that day, Yachiyo and Mifuyu return to Mikazuki Villa and dig up the time capsule with Tsuruno, Felicia, and Sana. As Yachiyo reads the play's synopsis aloud, Mifuyu transforms into the Fire Demon King character, her mental age regressing to that of a child while retaining her adult memories. Yachiyo theorizes that following the story's plot by solving people's problems and granting the Demon King's wish might revert Mifuyu, and notes that a child's perspective makes her uniquely suited to help with the Christmas events.<ref name='oldstory'/>
** That same day, Yachiyo brings Mifuyu to help with the Christmas film, and Mifuyu eagerly agrees to play a transforming heroine. They later encounter Hinano's group still struggling with their science class, and Mifuyu suggests presenting it as a hero show using chemistry, agreeing to appear as the hero.

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

===Don't Show Tears to Santa Claus===
* The girls at Mikazuki hold a Christmas party, exchanging gifts and enjoying a meal together. While cleaning up afterward, Felicia becomes upset while reading a picture book Sana made, explaining she does not want it to end because she fears sad endings after losing Iroha and the others. Yachiyo comforts her by saying endings lead to new beginnings, and they must keep moving forward to honor the future that was given to them. Felicia feels reassured and decides to finish the book. Yachiyo privately vows that she will one day bring back the life she had with those she lost, no matter what ending awaits.<ref name='tear'>Shown in [[Magia Record Event - Don't Show Tears to Santa Claus|Don't Show Tears to Santa Claus]]</ref>

* The following day, Nagisa meets Mami at the water park for the Summer Pop Festival, a student event featuring a new cheese snack. Though Nagisa initially tries to restrain herself, she quickly loses control and eagerly samples the Magical Triple Cheese, drawing attention and being mistaken for a runaway child, forcing Mami to cover for her by claiming to be her older sister. They meet Himena and Alexandra, two Magical Girls who were inspired by Nagisa's freedom, and the group spends time together at the festival.<ref name='pop'/>
** Nagisa notices many attendees seem withdrawn and reluctant to participate, and when a Witch Barrier suddenly appears, the group fights the Charlotte Witches, who have multiplied. Frustrated, Nagisa charges in alone but struggles, and Mami saves her while exhausting her own magic, leaving Nagisa feeling guilty for causing trouble. She resolves to find Himena and Alexandra to obtain a Grief Seed and searches alone, defeating one witch by herself but soon becoming surrounded.<ref name='pop'/>
** Himena and Alexandra rescue her, and Nagisa, remembering the Witches were once her, correctly guesses they are distracted by cheese. The group uses Magical Triple Cheese to exploit this weakness and defeats the witches, allowing Nagisa to obtain a Grief Seed and return to Mami. That evening, a powerful witch, another version of her former self, appears and targets Nagisa but then flees, having found a more important objective, and the group agrees to defeat it together. Nagisa admits to herself that she is the cause of the disturbances and decides that after resolving this, she will return to the Law of Cycles.<ref name='pop'/>
** Later, Nagisa confronts the powerful witch alone and finds it completely engrossed in searching for cheese, ignoring her entirely. Furious that a witch embodies the freedom she has been suppressing, Nagisa attacks, and during the fight her Soul Gem becomes heavily corrupted, though she refuses to use a Grief Seed, determined to defeat the witch herself. She unleashes her power and gains a new form, defeating the witch but discovering her power has splashed onto others, causing them to act on their hidden desires—initially creating chaos but ultimately giving shy students the courage to enjoy the festival and connect with each other.

The girl approaches and asks if she saw a kappa, then excitedly declares Kagome a comrade in searching for the Seven Mysteries.<ref name='Yokaiss'>Shown in [[Kagome Satori (Demon Parade)#Side Story|Kagome's Demon Parade Side Story]]</ref>
** The girl explains she is researching the local Seven Mysteries for her summer homework and wants to believe in mysterious things to escape problems at home and school. She asks Kagome to become an eyewitness and let her conduct an interview. Kagome, relating to the act of interviewing, agrees. Himena, who overheard everything, tells the girl that the day after tomorrow's festival is when Seven Mysteries are most likely to appear and claims the kappa was the "Moving Plushie." The girl excitedly agrees to meet at the festival. After she leaves, Himena reveals her plan to use the Magical Girls to make the Seven Mysteries a reality, with Kagome as the interviewee.<ref name='Yokaiss'/>
* The next day, Kagome consults other Magical Girls about the plan. Kureha, Juri, Hikaru, and Ao agree to help, and through their discussion they create "The Girl with Horns" as the second Mystery. Later, Kagome brings the consultation to Shizuka, Ryoko, Asahi, Chika, Chiharu, and Sunao. Ryoko's ghost story and the frightened reactions of Shizuka, Chiharu, and Sunao inspire "The Chorus of Sobbing Voices," though the three request the remaining Mysteries be less scary. The discussion continues as they finalize the lineup.<ref name='Yokaiss'/>
* The day of the festival arrives. The girl comes with her mother, and Himena convinces the mother it is a volunteer play.

As they prepare for the final Mystery, Kagome senses a Witch and leaves to fight it. The defeated Witch's disappearance creates a spectacular display of light and plushies, amazing the girl. Himena improvises that the final Mystery is the "Nurarihyon," a yōkai leading the "Night Parade of One Hundred Demons."<ref name='Yokaiss'/>
** Later that night, Kagome rides home on the train with Tasuke, Nayuta, and Lavi, who have fallen asleep. As she drifts off, she recalls the girl's words about believing in the Seven Mysteries. Despite everything, it becomes a summer memory she will never forget.<ref name='Yokaiss'/>

** Yachiyo recalls feeling Iroha's presence among the gathered magical girls and she proposes that the collective presence of the girls Iroha sacrificed herself to save might recover her concept.

** Nemu has Sakurako retrieve Mikoto's closed book from the Magia Record, and Kagome uses her power to enter it and communicate with the record of Mikoto.

** Kagome, after consulting Mikoto's book again, relays information about the Witch. The Symbol Witch is ancient, and she can create and control separate offshoots of itself even across time. It has been rooted beneath Mizuna Castle since the Sengoku period, and has been devouring other Witches to build strength.<ref name='presd'/>
** Yachiyo gathers the group to attack the Witch at Mizuna Castle immediately, and Nemu sends Sakurako with Yachiyo's team as her representative.

** Their reunion is interrupted when Iroha's Soul Gem suddenly flares with pain and 10-43's Barrier erupts, swallowing Iroha and Yachiyo. The Witch's massive form appears and Kagome realizes the Witch they defeated was merely an offshoot, and the main body has now recovered alongside Iroha's concept and is merging with all its separate parts across time.<ref name='presd'/>
** The Automatic Purification System is stolen, and the Witch's Barrier covers the entire world.<ref name='presd'/>

** Yachiyo, having gone back in time to gather the hopes of Magical Girls of the past, transforms into Historia Yachiyo and delivers the final blow to the Witch, freeing Iroha.

===Paradise Shift===
* Iroha and Ui, the core of the Magia Record system, are enjoying their return to normal life in Kamihama. However, they notice many of their friends are acting secretive. Through a series of misunderstandings including a portrait (a "montage"), talk of "drugging" (making science sweets), "cutting and stabbing" (flower arranging), and a stage for "singing and dancing," Iroha and Ui mistakenly think some of their friends are plotting against them.<ref name='paradiseshifthomecomingstory'>Shown in [[Magia Record Story Paradise Shift ~Homecoming Story~|Paradise Shift ~Homecoming Story~]]</ref>

Touka and Nemu had kept this secret to ensure Iroha and Ui could enjoy their normal lives.<ref name='paradiseshifthomecomingstory'/>
[[File:51199 tamaki family1.jpg|thumb]]

* On the day of the party, the welcome home party begins. Iroha and Ui, their minds made up, announce their decision to return to Magia Record forever.

Their friends vehemently refuse this, insisting they would rather bear the pain of memory than forget.<ref name='paradiseshifthomecomingstory'/>
** In a final twist, Touka and Nemu reveal their own surprise that the immense positive energy generated by the party itself has provided the power needed for Iroha and Ui to travel freely to and from Magia Record, thus their sacrifice is no longer necessary. The party truly becomes a true celebration of their return, and the group makes plans to visit the amusement park together, now able to move forward without sacrifice.<ref name='paradiseshifthomecomingstory'/>

** After finishing her classes, Kuroe begins her solo patrol and receives a message from San about an emergency gathering for Magical Girls in Takarazaki. Despite her usual preference for solitude, she decides to attend, thinking that nothing will change if she keeps acting alone. At the gathering, she joins a joint patrol and pairs with another Magical Girl, but their time together is quiet and awkward. They find a Witch's Kiss victim and track the Witch, and Kuroe leads the fight before offering the Grief Seed to her partner afterward.

** Later that afternoon, they watch takoyaki being made and share a genuine laugh together. When an elderly woman asks for directions, Iroha guides her while Kuroe nervously returns the woman's dropped wallet, and Iroha praises Kuroe for her kindness. Kuroe reflects that she is trying to become more like Iroha. They discover a movie photo spot in the city, but before they can take a picture, Himena, San, and Miyuri arrive.

They take a photo together, though Kuroe is unhappy with her smile.<ref name='IrohaKuroess'/>
** That evening, Iroha insists on staying longer to help Kuroe resolve her issues. They sense a Familiar nearby, and though Kuroe hesitates to get involved out of fear she will cause trouble, Iroha's encouragement pushes her to act. She asks Iroha to fight alongside her.<ref name='IrohaKuroess'/>
* The next day, they track the presence and find San's group already fighting Familiars inside a barrier. Kuroe feels unnecessary and suggests they leave, but suddenly a hidden Witch attacks and captures one of the Magical Girls.<ref name='IrohaKuroess'/>
** Iroha encourages Kuroe and tells her she believes in her. Kuroe joins the fight while San frees the captured girl, and with Iroha's help, Kuroe defeats the Witch.

San praises Kuroe's growth since her time as a Black Feather, and Kuroe credits Iroha for believing in her.<ref name='IrohaKuroess'/>

* The next morning, Kuroe wakes from a strange dream and reflects that things have been going well lately. She has become better at interacting with others by emulating Iroha, but she notices her Soul Gem clouds more easily and she feels mentally fatigued. She considers resting but pushes forward, wanting to become strong enough to stand beside Iroha. On her way home, she stops at a convenience store and buys the same candy Iroha shared with her. She thinks about contacting Iroha but decides to keep trying on her own for now, resolving that next time she will go see Iroha herself.<ref name='IrohaKuroess'/>

** The group investigates and they find an old mallet in a box at Asuka's house, along with a note saying it will shine for a righteous person of the Tatsuki family. The mallet does not shine for Asuka, causing her to doubt if she is righteous.<ref name='dragonrush'/>
** She goes to Suitoku Temple and learns from the Tokime clan that the ritual was likely a Kagami Biraki (Mirror Opening ceremony).<ref name='dragonrush'/>

** Asuka meditates in her garden, trying to understand righteousness. Ryoko visits and advises her to stop overthinking and to figure out what she doesn't understand. Asuka realizes she doesn't understand why she made Sasara angry or what "righteousness" truly means.<ref name='dragonrush'/>
** The Tokime clan and Sasara discuss the situation separately. Sasara explains that she is angry because Asuka constantly risks herself and doesn't listen to her pleas to be more careful. She wants Asuka to realize on her own that she needs to value her own safety.<ref name='dragonrush'/>
[[File:Memoria 2000.jpg|thumb]]

* The day of the ritual arrives and Asuka still hasn't found a clear answer. The Witch from their previous fight reappears, but Asuka hesitates, once again doubting her own righteousness. Regardless, she decides to fight based on her current convictions and Sasara arrives to fight the Witch as well.<ref name='dragonrush'/>

* During a training camp with her friends, Asuka behaves unusually, tripping over nothing and seeming distracted. When her friends grow concerned, she confesses she is anxious about an upcoming family gathering after New Year's where she will see her young cousins. She recalls a blunder from the previous New Year's when she panicked over having only one sweet for two cousins and ran out to buy more, only to learn the baby could not eat solids yet, which made her relatives laugh at her scatterbrained nature. Determined to redeem herself this year, Asuka wants to show dignity as a reliable older cousin and give her cousins New Year's money to feel like an adult, just as her older cousin once did for her, but she lacks the funds. Emiri suggests a plan and introduces her to a part-time job opportunity.<ref name='Dragonss'>Shown in [[Asuka Tatsuki (New Year Dragon God)#Side Story|Asuka's New Year Dragon God Side Story]]</ref>
* The next day, Asuka begins working at Chikukoubou, a lunch box shop run by Riko's family, where she is joined by Maria and Sae. She immediately makes a mistake by tidying up and nearly throwing away sticky notes that identify customer orders, but Maria and Sae cover for her by recovering the order forms and instruct her to stall for time if reservation customers arrive. Asuka faces several customers while stalling, mistakenly calling Tsukasa by her Tsukuyo's name and using her scatterbrained reputation to buy time. She later serves Kanagi but forgets to give her change and then forgets to hand over the lunch itself, chasing after her to deliver it.<ref name='Dragonss'/>
** After these incidents, Asuka becomes discouraged, comparing herself unfavorably to everyone else who seems perfect and reliable. When Maria asks about her motivation, Asuka shares the story of her older cousin, who secretly gave her otoshidama as a high school student and took her to buy a toy she wanted, bypassing her mother who saved all her money. This memory drives her desire to become a reliable adult like him. Moved by her story, Maria and Sae commit to helping her seriously, and Sae teaches Asuka a method to reduce mistakes: take a deep breath, calm down, confirm, and reconfirm before acting. Asuka practices this with customers and finds it helpful, though the constant tension exhausts her.<ref name='Dragonss'/>
** Maria then encourages Asuka to observe the people around her more calmly. Asuka notices Sae muttering angrily about a rude customer, Maria panicking over a spider, Kanagi admitting she ordered the wrong number of lunches, Mifuyu forgetting her wallet, and Mikage throwing a tantrum in public. She also realizes that Moka Megumi's overly formal speech was a result of nervousness while practicing errands, and that even Riko, despite her maturity, fell asleep like a normal child. Asuka concludes that no one is as perfect as she imagined, including her idealized memories of her cousin.<ref name='Dragonss'/>
* The day before the family gathering, Asuka prepares the otoshidama envelopes. She checks repeatedly, confident she has changed.<ref name='Dragonss'/>
* On the day of the gathering, Asuka arrives at her parents' home and smoothly handles serving sweets. When her aunt and cousins arrive, Asuka presents the otoshidama envelopes, but her older cousin opens one immediately and finds nothing inside. Asuka panics, then takes a deep breath and realizes she removed the bills the night before for a final check and forgot to put them back. She rushes to retrieve them while her young cousins burst into laughter at her flustered state. Though embarrassed, Asuka accepts it and resolves to grow even more, determined to become truly reliable this year.<ref name='Dragonss'/>

As a final request, Touka asks that when everything comes to an end, they play Old Maid together.<ref name='oneesama'/>
** Iroha bids farewell to Kuroe, asking her to stay kind and remember her someday when she becomes a distant memory.<ref name='oneesama'/>

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

===Alina's Atelier Part 3===
* Alina continues to paint "portraits of despair" for Magical Girls, asking only that they share their inner struggles as payment. She finds it increasingly difficult to paint and senses time is running out.<ref name='alinasa3'>Shown in [[Magia Record Story Alina's Atelier ~Factor of Despair~|Alina's Atelier ~Factor of Despair~ Part 3]]</ref>
** Nemu and Touka visit, concerned about her inability to create new Witch portraits, but Alina insists on continuing her work.<ref name='alinasa3'/>
* Alina paints various portraits:
** Mifuyu, who resolves to atone for her past by guiding younger Magical Girls.<ref name='alinasa3'/>
** Touka, who reflects on her lonely childhood and vows to protect peace across the universe.<ref name='alinasa3'/>
** Alina herself sees her own Witch portrait for the first time and finds it ridiculous. Nemu reveals that this form was always behind her when her Doppel emerged. Ultimately, Alina accepts this and reaffirms her desire to create art in solitude, pursuing her own aesthetic ideals.<ref name='alinasa3'/>
** Nemu, who recalls her life in a hospital and plans to assist other Magical Girls to ease the burdens on her friends.<ref name='alinasa3'/>
** Manaka, who rediscovers her passion for cooking and dedicates herself to surpassing her father's legacy.<ref name='alinasa3'/>
** Tsumugi, who, after realizing Manaka's impermanence, begins documenting her friend's culinary dedication herself.<ref name='alinasa3'/>
* Alina can no longer create her Witch portraits, attributing it to the Automatic Purification System. Touka and Nemu tell her they are going to depart for the Magia Record permanently to make Magical Girl Records, but after they leave, Alina vows to become part of the Magia Record herself.<ref name='alinasa3'/>

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

===Last Bird's Hope===
[[File:Memoria 2041.jpg|thumb]]
* Kuroe defeats a Witch on a train, but she continues to patrol and fight Witches, reflecting on her loneliness since Iroha's disappearance.<ref name='lastbirdshope'>Shown in [[Magia Record Story Last Bird's Hope|Last Bird's Hope]]</ref>
** Nearby, Nagisa wanders alone, grappling with her separation from the Law of Cycles, when Yu suddenly finds her. Though Nagisa initially mistakes her for a Witch and questions her monstrous appearance, Yu declares them friends and Nagisa reluctantly agrees to accompany her, intrigued by the connection to the increased number of Charlotte Witches.<ref name='Yusass'>Shown in [[Yusa Yumeno#Side Story|Yu's Side Story]]</ref>
** As they travel, Yu explains her "job" is eliminating bad guys from a list provided by someone named Shi, which includes both Witches and people. Nagisa witnesses Yu kill someone and realizes the work is real. When Nagisa questions the morality of killing innocents if the list is wrong, Yu admits she double-checks but says eliminating them is still good for Shi.<ref name='Yusass'/>
** Yu cannot remember her wish, and Nagisa realizes she cannot remember hers either. A picture book pages intercut the scene, hinting at Yu's tragic past. Nagisa analyzes Yu's disjointed emotions, unnatural lack of negativity, and refusal to connect to the future, concluding she is circling a huge emptiness.<ref name='Yusass'/>
** They fight a Witch together, and Nagisa witnesses Yu regenerate a torn-off arm without magic. Nagisa concludes Yu might be a Frayed End, a malignant factor leading to disaster, and acknowledges that her own interference in space-time triggered Yu's existence. Despite recognizing Yu as a victim, Nagisa resolves to eliminate her.<ref name='Yusass'/>
** As Nagisa prepares to strike, Yu's magic unconsciously affects her, trapping her in a hospital memory where her mother is scolded. Yu appears and stabs Nagisa's mother. A voice, Kei's ghost, demands Nagisa kill Yu, insisting the story has already ended. Nagisa refuses, declaring she is going to the future.<ref name='Yusass'/>
** Nagisa awakens confused, muttering about Kei as she struggles with fragmented memories. Yu wanders nearby, aimlessly questioning where she was supposed to go.<ref name='Yusass'/>
** Nearby, Kuroe investigates an area with a rise in crime rate, suspecting a Witch's involvement. She encounters a fleeing man and a Witch at a station, but the Witch escapes. She then meets the Magical Girl Nagisa, who warns her to stay away and claims to have defeated the Witch.<ref name='lastbirdshope'/>
** While patrolling, Kuroe meets Yu, who is searching for a "bad guy" named "John." They agree to search for him separately and on her search, Kuroe senses a Doppel and returns to find Nagisa's Doppel running wild. As it fades, multiple Charlotte Witches appear. Kuroe and Nagisa prepare to fight, but Nagisa is too exhausted. Suddenly, Kuro, whom Kuroe once saved, appears and tries to help but is quickly overwhelmed as well.<ref name='lastbirdshope'/>
** Yu arrives to the scene in her Magical Girl form and easily defeats the Witches. She reveals she is hunting the man they'd encountered, "John," because he is on her list of bad people. Yu explains she kills bad people to stop them from appearing in the nightmares of someone important to her.<ref name='lastbirdshope'/>
** Nagisa tries to confront Yu but collapses, and, despite John's remorse and desire to turn himself in, Yu kills him. Kuroe, horrified and confused, also loses consciousness. She has a dream where a voice - Kei's - tells her to kill Yu before her identity is erased. <ref name='lastbirdshope'/>
[[File:Memoria 2040 kuro.jpg|thumb]]
[[File:Memoria 2040 iroha.jpg|thumb]]

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

===The Heart, Now and Forever===
* Yachiyo prepares breakfast while managing the antics of Felicia, Tsuruno, and Sana. Despite moments of chaos, Yachiyo ensures everyone is ready for their day, promising souvenirs if they all return home that night.<ref name='theheart'>Shown in [[Magia Record Story The Heart, Now and Forever|The Heart, Now and Forever]]</ref>
** On her way to school, Felicia encounters a girl troubled by a recent fight with her friend. Encouraging her to apologize, Felicia reflects on her promise to Iroha and Ui to perform one good deed daily.<ref name='theheart'/>
** Sana finds joy in sharing lunch with classmates who unknowingly interact with her. She resolves to express gratitude and continue moving forward for Iroha and Ui.<ref name='theheart'/>
** Tsuruno balances her busy schedule at Banbanzai with personal commitments. With encouragement from her father, she renews her promise to Iroha and Ui to unwind and not overwork herself.<ref name='theheart'/>
** At Mikazuki Villa, the group enjoys dinner together. Yachiyo reveals she visited Iroha and Ui's parents, fulfilling a promise to deliver items entrusted to her.<ref name='theheart'/>
** Yachiyo visits Nemu's mother, delivering a stuffed polar bear cherished by Nemu.<ref name='theheart'/>
** Yachiyo meets Touka's father, handing over Touka's smartphone containing a heartfelt video message for him.<ref name='theheart'/>
** In Takarazaki City, Yachiyo delivers handmade gifts from Iroha and Ui to their parents— a family portrait and lights. They find comfort in these mementos, appreciating their daughters' sacrifices and legacies.<ref name='theheart'/>
** Having fulfilled her promises, Yachiyo fears losing her connection to Iroha and Ui. Encouraged by Tsuruno, she sets a new mission to spread hope among Magical Girls.<ref name='theheart'/>
** Yachiyo, Tsuruno, Felicia and Sana swiftly defeat a witch. As more magical girls around them hunt witches, Yachiyo acknowledges the global network of Magical Girls united by Iroha, Ui, Touka, and Nemu’s hope, vowing to fight until no Witches remain.<ref name='theheart'/>

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