Madoka Magica Episode 6: This Just Can't Be Right

==Summary==

As presented in the [[Episode 5|previous episode]], [[Kyouko Sakura|Kyouko]] almost makes it to finish [[Sayaka Miki|Sayaka]], but realizes that her spear is stabbing the air and [[Homura Akemi|Homura]] has intervened, suggesting her ability's relation to spatial distortion. Sayaka gets knocked out by Homura. Annoyed, Kyouko asks Homura whose side she is on. Homura then states she is always with the cool-thinking people and against the troublemakers, demanding Kyouko to identify which group she belongs to as well. Kyouko complains, but retreats anyway. [[Madoka Kaname|Madoka]] asks Homura if she came to save Sayaka, but Homura condemns Madoka for not following her advices at all. She warns that next time she may consider other (presumably brutal) options to let the fool listen, leaving Madoka horrified.

Sayaka uses a [[Grief Seed]] to clear her [[Soul gem|Soul Gem]]. [[Kyuubey]] advises Sayaka get more Grief Seeds in order to be stronger, but Sayaka firmly denies the idea of involving Madoka. Homura later approaches Kyouko and offers a deal that lets Kyouko have [[Mitakihara Town|the city]] as her territory, but forbids her to attack Sayaka. Kyouko signals agreement by offering Homura the snacks she always keep.

Madoka, concerned that Sayaka is too focused on becoming stronger than Kyouko, tries to persuade Sayaka, arguing that she and Kyouko are both Puella Magis, supposed to battle the witches, not each other. Sayaka rejects the idea, pointing out that selfish Puella Magis such as Kyouko intentionally let familiars attack human, resulting in innocent human victims which, this time, may be Madoka's parents or [[Tatsuya Kaname|Tatsuya]].

The next evening, Sayaka is once again confronted by Kyouko who goads her into another fight on top of a highway bridge. However, before the battle starts, Madoka arrives and takes Sayaka's Soul Gem, the source of a Puella Magi's energy, throwing it off the bridge in the hope of stopping the fight. To Madoka and Kyouko's shock, this causes Sayaka to suddenly become lifeless. Kyuubey says Madoka has just thrown Sayaka. It turns out that as part of the contract, the Soul Gem literally contains a Puella Magi's soul, with their body becoming a mere shell that becomes limp and lifeless if the Soul Gem is more than 100 metres away from them.

Appalled, Kyouko blasts, claiming that what Kyuubey has done is practically turning girls into zombies. Kyuubey expresses his difficulty to understand all girls' repulsion for the idea, discoursing how useful it is for protecting girls from witches' attacks. Meanwhile, Homura rushes to retrieve the Soul Gem and brings it back to Sayaka in order to revive her. Sayaka wakes up, not remembering anything that happened after Madoka threw her gem away.

==Observations==

*[[:File:Hey diddle diddle.jpg|Madoka's homework]] is [[wikipedia:Hey_Diddle_Diddle|Hey diddle diddle!]], an English rhyme.
*The game Kyouko is playing in the arcade is based on Konami's [[wikipedia:Dance Dance Revolution|Dance Dance Revolution]] series.
**Incidentally also the characters decorating the arcade cabinet seem to have a resemblance to Konami's [[wikipedia:pop'n music|pop'n music]] series of music games.
**Kyouko is dancing to a remix like version of the opening theme "Connect" by ClariS.
**The arcade cabinet also seems to feature a logotype that says "inudaruma" on its sides.
*The opening sequence in episode 6 changed once again. This time, the transformation sequence is more colorful than before, and the angle changed slightly

==Runes==
No runes were featured in this episode.

==Speculations==

*If Mami's soul gem can be recovered, it may be possible to revive her.
: But Mami's soul gem takes the form of a hairpin, and as you know it was the first thing to get crushed in episode 3.
*Kyuubey appears to eat Grief Seeds. What this means has yet to be seen. For more speculation on the subject, please refer to [[Speculah:Kyuubey_is_Evil_Theory|Kyubey is Evil]]

Witch Runes

E: /* Translated runes by episode */

[[File:runes_translated.jpg|thumb|Runes as of Episode 2]]

The runes that randomly appear in the Magic World have nearly been solved. This page is meant to show the current works and discoveries in the domain, as well as the latest discussions and hypothesis.

==History==

Initial efforts at codebreaking began by identifying each unique rune and assigning it a random letter for identification. The general (correct) assumption was that each rune corresponded to a letter in German but at the time it was still possible that the text was encrypted, a newly constructed language or even that they were just scattered completely at random. German was chosen as the most likely candidate because it appeared as direct quotes from Goeth's Faust and the Cottonballs/Pringlemen/Anthony's were observed to be chanting in German. Other candidate languages were; Japanese, English and Latin (due to the use of "Puella" in the title).

A number of codebreaking methods were tried unsuccessfully. For example; attempts at identifying the letters thorugh numerical analysis of their frequency failed, implying that the runic script was not really a language (see complications below). A more focused approach, taking a single word or short phrase and attempting to match an appropriate German word to it also failed due to large amount of possible matches.

After some urging to use the Faust quotes as a [[wikipedia:Rosetta Stone|Rosetta Stone]], an anonymous found and [http://green-oval.net/cgi-board.pl/a/thread/44782290#p44786690 posted] a line of runes which matched one of those quotes. The runes and the German sign they matched are marked in red on the translation chart for episodes one and two.

This discovery confirmed that the runic script was a direct substitution for German letters and provided an initial set of translated runes to work with. /a/ quickly got to work using this starting set to translate more lines and fill in the gaps. Within 21 hours of this discovery, the vast majority of runic text appearing in the first two episodes had been translated into German and English, all letters had been identified (except Q and X which are extremely rare in German).

==Complications==
[[File:Runes_chart.gif|thumb|Rough reference sheet showing the different rune alphabets.]]
Throughout the translation process, efforts were hampered by several complications:

;Runic fonts
:There are at least three structurally distinct variants of the runic script. The two most common variants are known as modern and archaic. Corresponding letters are generally quite similar with only mild variation in their overall structure but a few letters, such as T, are completely different from each other. The third and least common variant is constructed from elements found in musical scores, and many of the runes are unrecognizable.
;Typos
:Whether by mistake or on purpose (to frustrate codebreakers) approximately half of the lines of script contain one or more typos or misspelt words.
;Spacing
:Many lines of script have no spacing between the words or may be seperated in a deceptive manner. Also, some lines have multiple adjacent letters overlaid on the same space.

== Refactoring the facts-speculations-finds pages ==

Some anons suggested that the theories page looks like a unattracting blob of text. Some other mentionned that it would be nice to be able to speculah'te over the trivia and observations. Yet another (or a samefag, that's not the point) started the Finds section because his content didn't fit anywhere else. So I think it's time to remodel all this a bit.
How about this:
*We rename the Trivia section to "Facts and Observations" or something of the like. On that page, we make a section per episode, then one subsection per observation. This subsection has the fact itself (matching with a pic if relevant), and a subsubsection where we write observations and speculations as one-liners, just like the Character pages. We should also make a visual difference between pure speculation and pure observations
*The texts in Shaftspeak are posted on the Runes page (or a subpage). For each interresting bit of text, we post a screencap, a translation, and observations/speculations. Same as before, one-liners are enough.
*The Theories page hence only has the general theories, the ones that combines pieces of speculations together. I think theories about Kamijou, for example, could be moved somewhere else (in the Characters page for instance)
*We can delete the Finds page since it's redundant with the rest.

How does that sound to you? --[[User:Homerun-chan|Homerun-chan]] 22:10, 18 January 2011 (CST)

:So by your suggestion, we gonna have
:# [[Facts and Observations]] as a merge between current Trivia and Finds
:# [[Speculah:Runes]] for runes deciphering for each episode
:# [[Speculah:Theories]] for general theories (move all Faust, etc. stuff into F&O)
:I have no problem up to this point, but I don't think character speculation should belongs in characters page. They should stay in one place, possibly sub section inside the Facts and Observation. --[[User:0x99|0x99]] 16:39, 18 January 2011 (CST)
::Well, now that I look at the speculah page carefully (my ISP is fucking up my connection at the moment so I had a hard time surfing on the wiki while writing this), there isn't much character-specific theories, aside from Kamijou (who didn't even get his own page to begin with). There are a few speculations on Homura's page however; that's more like what I was talking about (you know, small doubts/suspicions could go to the character's page, while longer theories would get their own page) --[[User:Homerun-chan|Homerun-chan]] 17:06, 18 January 2011 (CST)

:no problem as long as the content/the time i have invested is not destroyed P.S do you write the signature manually ? --[[User:Saveol2009|Saveol2009]] 22:56, 18 January 2011
::Just write four tilde after your comment and you'll be fine. --[[User:0x99|0x99]] 17:00, 18 January 2011 (CST)
:::thanks --[[User:Saveol2009|Saveol2009]] 17:04, 18 January 2011 (CST)

Suggestion: all theories/speculah, but not facts/observations, should be tagged with the current episode number. Then when wikifags read them they will know how out of date they might be, and whether they might need updating with new information (at which point the ep# is updated) or deleted because subsequent episodes have disproven/obsolete.
Bonus question: SHOULD we delete them? or move them to a "Defunct speculah" section? [[User:Yil|Yil]] 12:23, 19 January 2011 (CST)
:dont you think speculah and the translations of the captured pieces from the anime could be done below each find as there is plenty of free space and so to not waste it http://wiki.puella-magi.net/Speculah:Finds --[[User:Saveol2009|Saveol2009]] 12:32, 19 January 2011 (CST)

P.S i moved the contents of [[Speculah:Who is Kamijou]] to [[Kamijou]] should i just delete the former page ? --[[User:Saveol2009|Saveol2009]] 13:00, 19 January 2011 (CST)

== general ==

the banner that countdowns the time till the the new ep airs should link to [mms://hinamizawa.jp/livejptv this] stream. i think it has proven it self to be reliable. --[[User:Saveol2009|Saveol2009]] 13:45, 20 January 2011 (CST)
:Good idea. How did people find that link anyway? The index page of the site leads nowhere. Also, I believe mms://stream.gundam.eu/mbs is more reliable. (it's constantly up and has been available for a long time-- early last year, at least) --[[User:E|'''e''']] 17:41, 20 January 2011 (CST)

[[Kyuubey]]'s proposition includes granting a wish in exchange for the person to become a [[Glossary#Magical_girl|mahou shoujo]]. This page lists those who have encountered Kyuubey and guesses about wishes. Note that these are ''speculations'' and not the character's actual wishes.

=== "I don't want to die alone!" ===
Before she met Madoka and friends, [[Mami]] was all alone-- her apartment was empty except for her presence, and had no contact with her family. When Kyuubey made his offer, Mami wished to not die alone. As in many "deal with the devil" stories, the contract is upheld, yet in a twisted manner: Mami made new friends and immediately died before their eyes.

Mami Tomoe

{{Infobox_character
|name=Mami Tomoe
|image=[[File:Mami Chara Sheet.jpg|300px]]
|jname=巴マミ (Tomoe Mami)
|seiyuu=[http://anidb.net/perl-bin/animedb.pl?show=creator&creatorid=591 Kaori Mizuhashi]
|age=14-15 (estimated)
|weapon=Muskets
}}
Mami Tomoe is a magical girl who appears to Madoka and Sayaka as they are attacked by a [[Witch]] in the first episode. She is already contracted to [[Kyuubey]] and offers to act as a mentor to the pair if they so chose to become magical girls themselves.
==Official Info==
A ninth-grader who attends Madoka’s school. A kind senior to Madoka, she’s the helpful, sisterly type. However, the gun she wields contrasts with that image.
* Ms. Aoki’s Design Check: Her twisty, curly hair and floral hairpin make her seem like a big sister. Also, I gave her pretty big boobs. {tl note: Never change, Ume-tentei.}
* Magical girl outfit: Mami’s design was definiely centered around her image as a gunner. The second thing that stands out are her breasts. (Aoki)
* Her bustier and boots give her a Western flavor which her cap accentuates.
* School uniform: Her style stands out even in uniform. Just as Ms. Aoki says, her breasts are the largest of the four. She wears pure white tights. (However, in the final design, she's seen wearing dark color tights.)

==Fun Facts==
*The character for her last name (巴) literally means "comma design," a Japanese swirl pattern. More info [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tomoe here].
*Her first name is written in katakana, which has no particular meaning. When written in kanji, it can be read as:
**graceful jewel (雅珠)
**light of love (愛光)
**true heart (真心)
**sea of the heavens (天海)
**dancing beauty (舞美)
**dancing light (舞光)
**polished beauty (磨美)
**sparkling purple (晶紫)
**magical beauty (魔美)
**magical charm (魔魅)
**intense hemp (麻深)
*She is the only character whose first name is written in katakana.
*the finishing move Mami used on the witch [[Gertrud]] voiced out as "tiro finale" where 'tiro' in Italian means "shoot."

==Notes==
[[File:Magia Anime Cover.jpg|thumb|"Fish!"]]
===Starting a new thread===
When a thread reaches bump limit (300 posts), a new one should be created, unless there is nothing more to discuss.
The original post of a new thread should contain:
;A link to the previous thread
:For easier navigation between threads, useful at the beginning of the new one
;A link to the wiki
:Because people are bound to ask for it anyway
;A madoka-related image
:But not necessarily a 'madoka thread' image macro
;Final task
:Return to the previous thread and link to the new one to prevent excess threads from being created. Or even better: warn people in the previous thread beforehand so that thay don't create one themselves.
Aside from that, when the old thread dies, the following image should be posted, so that the thread can be found more easily (to find a Madoka thread, post the fish image and go where the error links you)

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

[[File:Card Gertrud.png|thumb|200px|right|Gertrud special card, as shown on the official website]]

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

{{Card

'''Kyuubey''' is a "familiar," endued with the power to grant any wish for exchange of a contract-- for the person the wish is bestowed upon to become a Mahou Shoujo (magical girl). These magical girls are then tasked with the defeating of [[Witch|Witches]]. Kyuubey features prominently in the official release artwork first two episodes and is central to the current story.

==Fun Facts==
*In Japanese, his name is a mixture of hiragana and katakana.
*People still argue as to how to write is name. Is it Kyubey or Kyuubey?

==Speculations==
*Many fans believe [[Speculah:Kyuubey_is_Evil_Theory|Kyuubey is evil]] and believe he/she should not be trusted.
*According to the same theory, it is likely that Kyuubey is the messenger of a greater entity that has its own agenda.
*Some think Kyubey's real form is that of a red devil and his/her white fur acts as a cover as indicated by tears rather than bleeding in Episode 1.

Witch Runes

2011-01-20T00:46:06Z

E: /* Extras */

[[File:runes_translated.jpg|thumb|Runes as of Episode 2]]

The runes that randomly appear in the Magic World have nearly been solved. This page is meant to show the current works and discoveries in the domain, as well as the latest discussions and hypothesis.

==History==

Initial efforts at codebreaking began by identifying each unique rune and assigning it a random letter for identification. The general (correct) assumption was that each rune corresponded to a letter in German but at the time it was still possible that the text was encrypted, a newly constructed language or even that they were just scattered completely at random. German was chosen as the most likely candidate because it appeared as direct quotes from Goeth's Faust and the Cottonballs/Pringlemen/Anthony's were observed to be chanting in German. Other candidate languages were; Japanese, English and Latin (due to the use of "Puella" in the title).

A number of codebreaking methods were tried unsuccessfully. For example; attempts at identifying the letters thorugh numerical analysis of their frequency failed, implying that the runic script was not really a language (see complications below). A more focused approach, taking a single word or short phrase and attempting to match an appropriate German word to it also failed due to large amount of possible matches.

After some urging to use the Faust quotes as a [[wikipedia:Rosetta Stone|Rosetta Stone]], an anonymous found and [http://green-oval.net/cgi-board.pl/a/thread/44782290#p44786690 posted] a line of runes which matched one of those quotes. The runes and the German sign they matched are marked in red on the translation chart for episodes one and two.

This discovery confirmed that the runic script was a direct substitution for German letters and provided an initial set of translated runes to work with. /a/ quickly got to work using this starting set to translate more lines and fill in the gaps. Within 21 hours of this discovery, the vast majority of runic text appearing in the first two episodes had been translated into German and English, all letters had been identified (except Q and X which are extremely rare in German).

==Complications==

[[File:Runes_chart.gif|thumb|Table showing different rune "fonts."]]

Throughout the translation process, efforts were hampered by several complications:

;Runic fonts
:There are at least three structurally distinct variants of the runic script. The two most common variants are generally quite similar with only mild differences in the structure of the corresponding letters however a few letters, such as T, are completely different from each other. The third and least common variant is constructed from elements found in musical scores, and many of the runes are completely unrecognizable.
;Typos
:Whether by mistake or on purpose (to frustrate codebreakers) approximately half of the lines of script contain one or more typos or misspelt words.
;Spacing
:Many lines of script have no spacing between the words or may be seperated in a deceptive manner. Also, some lines have multiple adjacent letters overlaid on the same space.

Witch Runes

2011-01-20T00:29:20Z

E: added translation

[[File:runes_translated.jpg|thumb|Runes as of Episode 2]]

The runes that randomly appear in the Magic World have nearly been solved. This page is meant to show the current works and discoveries in the domain, as well as the latest discussions and hypothesis.

==History==

Initial efforts at codebreaking began by identifying each unique rune and assigning it a random letter for identification. The general (correct) assumption was that each rune corresponded to a letter in German but at the time it was still possible that the text was encrypted, a newly constructed language or even that they were just scattered completely at random. German was chosen as the most likely candidate because it appeared as direct quotes from Goeth's Faust and the Cottonballs/Pringlemen/Anthony's were observed to be chanting in German. Other candidate languages were; Japanese, English and Latin (due to the use of "Puella" in the title).

A number of codebreaking methods were tried unsuccessfully. For example; attempts at identifying the letters thorugh numerical analysis of their frequency failed, implying that the runic script was not really a language (see complications below). A more focused approach, taking a single word or short phrase and attempting to match an appropriate German word to it also failed due to large amount of possible matches.

After some urging to use the Faust quotes as a [[wikipedia:Rosetta Stone|Rosetta Stone]], an anonymous found and [http://green-oval.net/cgi-board.pl/a/thread/44782290#p44786690 posted] a line of runes which matched one of those quotes. The runes and the German sign they matched are marked in red on the translation chart for episodes one and two.

This discovery confirmed that the runic script was a direct substitution for German letters and provided an initial set of translated runes to work with. /a/ quickly got to work using this starting set to translate more lines and fill in the gaps. Within 21 hours of this discovery, the vast majority of runic text appearing in the first two episodes had been translated into German and English, all letters had been identified (except Q and X which are extremely rare in German).

==Complications==

[[File:Runes_chart.gif|thumb|Table showing different rune "fonts."]]

Throughout the translation process, efforts were hampered by several complications:

;Runic fonts
:There are at least three structurally distinct variants of the runic script. The two most common variants are generally quite similar with only mild differences in the structure of the corresponding letters however a few letters, such as T, are completely different from each other. The third and least common variant is constructed from elements found in musical scores, and many of the runes are completely unrecognizable.
;Typos
:Whether by mistake or on purpose (to frustrate codebreakers) approximately half of the lines of script contain one or more typos or misspelt words.
;Spacing
:Many lines of script have no spacing between the words or may be seperated in a deceptive manner. Also, some lines have multiple adjacent letters overlaid on the same space.

Witch from the dream in episode one

2011-01-20T00:09:09Z

E: /* Speculations */

[[File:Ep1 Witch Floating.jpg|thumb|The supposed Witch from the dream in episode 1]]
==Speculations==

*The object in the sky in the beginning of Episode 1 seems to be an upside down figure of [[Witch]] wearing a dress and veil, arms extended. The bottom has a [[wikipedia:Tomoe|tomoe]] pattern on it.

*There is much speculation regarding whether the object, if a witch, is truly the character [[Sayaka]]-- there are many similarities between the Witch's and Sayaka's outfit.

Sayaka Miki

2011-01-20T00:07:20Z

E: /* Speculations */

{{Infobox_character
|name=Sayaka Miki
|image=[[File:Sayaka Chara Sheet.png|300px]]
|jname=美樹さやか (Miki Sayaka)
|seiyuu=[http://anidb.net/perl-bin/animedb.pl?show=creator&creatorid=401 Eri Kitamura]
|age=13-14 (estimated)
|weapon=Sword/Club(?)
}}
==Official Info==
* Madoka’s classmate and good friend. Energetic and lively, which is perhaps why her sword is the only melee weapon among the four.
* Ms. Aoki’s Design Check!: Her personality is so boyish that I had to be careful not to make her look too boyish too. So I gave her hair a diagonal line in back, to straddle the line between short and medium length.
* Magical girl outfit: Sayaka’s outfit is the closest to combat gear. Since her sword is a melee weapon, I paid attention to that while designing her clothes. (Aoki)
* Her outfit features diagonal-cut skirt and shoulderless top for ease of movement. Add a cape, and she’s a picturesque swordswoman.
* School uniform: Her figure is flat and plain, but her chest is bigger than Madoka’s. Her hairbow is a stitched design. Below, she wears simple navy-blue high socks.

==Fun Facts==
*The first character in her last name (美) means "beauty". The last character (樹) means "tree". Her name could also be written 幹 (tree trunk) or 神酒 (sake offered to the gods).
*Her first name is written in hiragana, which has no special meaning. However, "sayaka" could also be written 明か (obvious) or 清か (clear).
*She describes herself as having been born "Petit bourgeois." which is French for "petty bourgeois" or, essentially, middle class.

==Speculations==
*Many fans believe Sayaka is the witch in Madoka's dream at the beginning of Episode 1. More information about the theory [[Witch_from_the_dream_in_episode_one|here]].

*Every words from Homura has meaning.
*Story revolves around a single theme.
*Mahou Shoujo are not necessarily heroes.
*The show is not a monster-of-the-week type of show.
*Concept of enemies and magic weapons are different from standard.
Interview with Urobuchi Gen (from Animage):

*Main element of the story is how everyone from a different standpoint understands each other.
*Everything about Homura is mysterious, unlike other characters that their parts and motivation are clear.
