'''{{nihongo|[[wikipedia:Walpurgis_Night|Walpurgisnacht]]|ワルプルギスの夜|Warupurugisu no Yoru|"Night of Walpurgis" or "Walpurgis Night"}}''' is supposedly the strongest witch current magical girls would have to fight. Her real name is unknown, while "Walpurgisnacht" is a common moniker given to it by magical girls. Her nature had been kept mysterious during most of the series, which led to a lot of speculation from fans during the original broadcast. This article's first purpose is, as with the other witches, to provide information about her.

The witch first appeared in the prologue "dream" sequence of [[Episode 1]], although it wasn't called by any name back then. This led to some speculations about the witch's identity before it was finally revealed in [[Episode 10]].

For a compilation of historical, mythological, and literary information concerning Walpurgisnacht, a term first mentioned by [[Homura Akemi|Homura]] in [[Episode 6]], see [[Speculah:Walpurgis Night|Speculah:Walpurgisnacht]].

==Trivia==
*Official description from [[Megami Magazine 2011-07#Walpurgis Night|July 2011 Megami]] interview with Urobuchi: ''In the last episode we saw the "Walpurgisnacht", but what kind of witch is it specifically?'' It has the destructive power to bring about natural disasters powerful enough to blow away an entire town, but originally it was a single witch. It's a witch that has grown from the combination of countless other witches. Walpurgisnacht combines with other witches in the same way two powerful tornadoes are able to combine and become larger. It's essentially a "conglomeration"-type witch. Because it's so powerful, it rarely shows itself.
* Walpurgisnacht is named for '''Walpurgisnacht''', a traditional spring festival celebrated on 30 April or 1 May in large parts of Central and Northern Europe. For more information on the festival's history, cultural and literary impacts, and connection to witchcraft, see [[Speculah:Walpurgis Night]].
* [[Kyoko Sakura]] confirmed that Walpurgisnacht was the most powerful witch in [[Episode 9]]; in [[Episode 10]], however, [[Madoka Kaname]] eclipsed her in power in two of the timelines created by [[Homura Akemi]], becoming the god-like [[Kriemhild Gretchen]]. [[Episode 11]] showed that Walpurgisnacht can withstand repeated attacks from heavy artillery, and her mere appearance can cause hundreds of deaths.
* While Walpurgisnacht does not need to hide in a barrier, like other witches, her arrival in Mitakihara Town is preceded by a carnival-like procession of familiars. This is apparently a reflection of her theatrical theme, and possibly also evidence of her desire to transform the world into a giant "stage."
** [[Puella_Magi_Madoka_Magica_Official_Guidebook_"You_Are_Not_Alone"#Labyrinth_design|The Guidebook]] describing the Witch's labyrinth design contains the line, "Everything in this world is fake. My life is nothing more than a drama that you penned. Please, prove it. ''"Faust"'' is on show." （この世界はすべて嘘でした。私の人生はあなたの書いた戯曲にすぎません。それを証明して下さい。「ファウスト」が上演中）
* The witch's most prominent familiars take the form of former magical girls, as evidenced by their resemblance to the [[:File:Puellamagis.png|magical girls]] shown in the final scene of [[Episode 12]].
**The manga version even takes this one step further by explicitly featuring the deceased Sayaka, Kyouko and Mami, all of which are main characters, as Walpurgis's minions. It turns out that [http://wiki.puella-magi.net/index.php?title=Puella_Magi_Madoka_Magica_Official_Guidebook_%22You_Are_Not_Alone%22&curid=4403&diff=32380&oldid=32379#EPISODE_COMMENTARIES this depiction was in the original storyboard of Episode 11.] It is unknown why this was changed.
**They also bear similiarity to characters from the music video of Maaya Sakamoto's Universe. This is unsurprising as both the MV and witch sequences are designed by animators [[Gekidan Inu Curry]].
* Walpurgis never drops a Grief Seed in any of the timelines. Whether this is because she doesn't have one or because the Grief Seed is always lost in the confusion of battle is unknown.
**However, Walpurgis is known to have a Grief Seed in the PSP game.
***In one of the timelines, Madoka lies about not getting any Grief Seeds after a battle with Walpurgis, and uses the seed on Homura's Soul Gem. Therefore, Walpurgis did have a Grief Seed.
****The grief seed Madoka uses contains a musical staff inside, likely making it Sayaka's.
* The exterior view of [[Homura Residence|Homura's residence]] resembles a scene from [[wikipedia:Shadow_of_Memories|''Shadow of Memories'']] (Shadow of Destiny for North America). Interestingly, it went through several title changes before release, among them ''The Day and Night of Walpurgisnacht'', ''Days of Walpurgis'', and ''Time Adventure''.
* [[NewType_2011-07#InuCurry_.28bewitched_space_design.29_and_Yukihiro_Miyamoto_.28series_director.29|According to witch animator and designer InuCurry]], Walpurgisnacht's and Kriemhild Gretchen's silhouettes are supposed to make a pair. The significance of this is unknown.
** [[Puella_Magi_Production_Note#Kriemhild_Gretchen.2C_Timeline_2_Version|Puella Magi Production Note]] further reveals that Walpurgisnacht is meant to look like the upper half of a sand timer, while Kriemhild Gretchen looks like the lower half. Interestingly, [[NewType_2011-05#Homura.27s_shield|Homura's shield has also been described as a sand timer]].
* According to Walpurgisnacht's page in the [[Guidebook]], the top part of the gear can turn into a stage where her familiars hold performances.
** Also according to the Guidebook, the familiars become as heavy as rocks when grabbed, like a [[wikipedia:Konaki-jiji|Konaki-jiji]].
* The mandala surrounding the witch has a [[wikipedia:Tomoe|tomoe]] pattern on it.
* Walpurgisnacht was voiced by [[Puella_Magi_Madoka_Magica_Official_Guidebook_"You_Are_Not_Alone"#Walpurgis_Comic|Kaori Mizuhashi]].
*[[Puella Magi Madoka Magica: The Different Story]] mentions Walpurgisnacht as a colossal super-dreadful witch, whose existence is only known through rumors from other magical girls.

==Speculation==
{{Theory/Header|status=debunked}}
* Many fans believed that the witch in the first episode was [[Sayaka]], citing similarities in their clothing. It was proven false in [[Episode 9]] when [[Oktavia von Seckendorff]] was shown.
* [[Homura]]'s [[Homura Residence|documents]] shown in [[Episode 6]] contain illustrations of Walpurgisnacht. This led to another speculation that it is the witch from the prologue. It was confirmed in [[Episode 10]].
* Homura may have been tracking down several other magical girls to figure out which one of them became Walpurgisnacht. She may also have been trying to figure out what the witch might look like; however, the visuals she has depict several magical girl appearances.
* Walpurgisnacht could be the witch of a magic girl who defeated the previous most powerful witch. As QB mentioned in episode 10, the only choice left for a magical girl after defeating the most powerful witch "is to become a (even more powerful) witch herself".
* The witch's familiars could potentially be the past witches' human form morphed just a bit.
* Given the nature of Walpurgisnacht and the presence of gears and the "falling" figure of the witch, Walpurgisnacht could be the witch form of Homura. Although Homura's magic is very limited, her experience in multiple timelines makes the witch a formidable foe.
** Walpurgisnacht could be Homura's witch form from the future, where she despairs with the fact that her involvement with Madoka only made her suffer some more. This would make sense if Timeline 1 was the best possible ending and the witch's goal is to kill Madoka alone (Timeline 1) or to kill Homura and end her fate or Kyubey to prevent him from making more contracts so other girls won't suffer a similar fate.
** Evidence supporting this theory are the gears and cogwheels, as well as the fact how her arrival is always extremely vague (ie. time travel, Homura Akemi's power as a magical girl).
*** Also by her theme of helplessness and her being "the fool who continuously spins in circles" (referencing the time loops Homura has created).
** '''This theory is now disproven by the reveal of [[Homulilly]] in the Portable game and in ''Rebellion''.'''
** "Walpurgisnacht" is essentially a nickname for either itself or its "dreadnought class". It's name, currently shown only as "?????", can potentially refer to any previously named witch that started combining with other witches, or even a new name for the combined form. Walpurgisnacht is "a Witch that has grown from the combination of countless other witches". We have no idea whether such a witch would retain the same appearance and abilities as the original witch from which it began as, then snowballed into. Or if a single Witch among those "countless witches" may gain dominance over others and become the "new core". It is likely that Homulilly is the "base witch", and the Walpurgisnacht that we see in the anime is the result of Homulilly's eventual conglomeration with other witches. Considering Homura/Homulilly's time traveling/endless loop mechanic/abilities, it is feasible that as long as Homulilly has been born into even one timeline/universe, she can potentially endlessly hop through ''at least'' the same one month cycle Homura repeats, possibly gathering and/or amassing other Witches through some sort of time magic. While witches generally "do not exist" in the post Madokami timeline, they ''can'' still come into being. (Proven by Ultimate Gretchen and Homulilly both spawning after Madoka's wish, birthed from Madoka and Homura, respectively.) The endless cycle fate that Homura goes through is similar to the released information about Walpurgisnacht/?????, knowing "it is all an endless play", etc.. Another possible connection between ????? and Homura, is the fact that despite all of Homura's power, she seemingly cannot inflict any damage to "Walpurgisnacht", perhaps as if they are the two sides of the same coin, possibly even strengthening ????? through increasing her own karmic burden with her timeline/parallel world/dimension connections. Which would reflect needing a more powerful Madoka to match it/stop it every time. If there was no relation between ????? and Homura, then there would be no reason she couldn't ''at least'' scratch it with an army's worth of weaponry and about 10 years of experience (100 months of repeats.), while Timeline 1 Madoka, the weakest one due to not yet amassing karmic burden, somehow is able to defeat the dreadnought-level Witch. Even the minor physicial changes to ????? throughout the timelines could also be a side-effect of Homura's constant growth. Homulilly was slightly different pre and post Madokami, after all. Kriemhild Gretchen wishes to "save everyone" by trapping them in an artificial world within her barrier. Homulilly is doomed to relive and watch her failures/own death forever. Considering Homura and Madoka's intertwined destiny, one a Goddess, the other a Devil, their Witch forms combining to form some kind of "all rapture hourglass mode form/witch" isn't too absurd. The two lovers, eternally tied through space and time; once their despair-ridden "Ultimate Formes" combine into that "sunadokei" (Literally "sand clock".), they will halt all of existance in all universes in an "endless rapture" of some kind.
*** '''The top section of Homulilly's head being cut off for seemingly no reason shortly after her birth in [[Rebellion]] might allude to this.'''
[[File:Walpurgis minions comparison.png|thumb|right|200px|Walpurgisnacht's minions were magical girls]]
* Some fans speculate that [[Kazumi]] might be Walpurgisnacht, because of her appearance. Since Walpurgis is a combination of countless other witches, probably Kazumi combinated with the Pleiades Saints and/or the girls trapped in the Freezer
** In the [[Puella_Magi_Madoka_Magica_Official_Guidebook_"You_Are_Not_Alone"#Labyrinth_design|guidebook]], the Witch's labyrinth design contains the line, "Everything in this world is fake. My life is nothing more than a drama that you penned..." it could be referring to the fact that Kazumi was actually a clone so she has no memories of her own and her life is fake.
** After the release of chapter 18, fans believe that Kazumi and/or [[Kanna Hijiri]] might be Walpurgisnacht. Notice what Kanna says during the chapter: "I'm just a doll that's living in a story she made..." which is similar to the witch's labyrinth design notes.
* The exact time of Walpurgisnacht's appearance may be midnight at the Brocken mountain in Germany, the site of real Walpurgisnacht festivities. This is approximately 8 AM in Japan. When Madoka defeats Walpurgis in Episode 12, a blue daytime sky is revealed. The sun is not shown, so is most likely close to the horizon, as it would be at 8 AM.
** '''The city's order to evacuate was announced at 7 AM in the Portable game and in Episode 11 of the anime.'''
** It is speculated that a Walpurgisnacht event has taken place before in the past, and perhaps it has visited different places during the night of the festival of witches. In [[Episode 8]], Kyoko is surprised to hear that Walpurgisnacht will visit [[Mitakihara Town|Mitakihara]], since it has never done it before.
*** Since the festival of witches takes place once a year, it is possible to speculate a Walpurgisnacht event takes place at least once a year in different places. People could have confused hurricane events or other natural disasters to be the work of nature instead of a witch.
* The preview pages for Oriko Magica reveal that the title character, Oriko, is a magical girl able to the future; in this future, she sees Walpurgisnacht, not upside down, wrecking Mitakihara Town. Then she sees the magical girl from the cover art, and believes that she might be the key to stopping Walpurgisnacht, suggesting to Kyubey that he go recruit her. As such, speculah: either Oriko or the girl from the cover will become Walpurgisnacht, as either one of them becoming that Witch would illustrate Oriko's helplessness at changing the future.
** Volume 2 of Oriko Magica reveals that Oriko had actually seen Kriemhild Gretchen.
* The witch's card refers to the humanoid part of Walpurgisnacht as a doll, and the gear as the "top part" of the witch. Therefore, the lower half is probably only a decoy body, similar to Charlotte's first form. This is further enforced by the fact that while the doll body is destroyed by Madoka's attack, the gear is unaffected and continues to approach her.
** Until Madoka destroys it, thus killing Walpurgisnacht for good.
* Let us say that "Walpurgisnacht" is the product of the amalgamation of several Witches. Considering that the festival goes back to ancient times, we can only assume that a New "Walpurgisnacht" emerges during the time of the Witches festival to replaced the old one if it gets defeated. It is unknown what happens to "Walpurgisnacht" after the witches festival ends. We can only assume that it either disassembles back to "normal" or perhaps it goes to slumber until the next festival. Considering there is little evidence, this speculation could be completely wrong.
* Perhaps Walpurgisnacht appears to absorb new magical girls/witches into its power. That could be why she came to Mitakihara -- to find Madoka.
** That works for later timelines when Homura's wish made her stronger, but not for the first timeline or two when Madoka was still average, if not weak, for a magical girl.
* Whatever the witch is, what it represents seems fairly clear -- in line with the overwhelming Buddhist allegorical nature of the show, it stands for the Hindu/Buddhist concept of [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Maya_%28illusion%29 Maya (illusion)]. As alluded to by the makers of the show, it is a stage for a play; as shown in Episode 11, it manifests itself as a carnival. This also explains the tragic grandeur and futility and of Homura's struggle against it: the endless war against the samsara of suffering can never be won because her opponent is not real. It can never be overcome in battle. It can only be transcended by an [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Buddha Awakened One].
{{Theory/Footer}}

{{Theory/Header|status=confirmed}}
* It is possible that Walpurgisnacht is a fusion of multiple witches into a single powerful entity. This is supported by Walpurgisnacht in both real-world belief and Faust being a witch's gathering - in this case the witches are gathering into one entity. The magical girl silhouettes in Homura's room can be interpreted as Homura not tracking down one magical girl that becomes Walpurgis, but rather all of the magical girls that become Walpurgis. The Paul Klee painting "Walpurgisnacht," assuming it has relevance, does seem to depict several witches fused together.
** One of the pictures in Homura's room is of two lines of female silhouettes holding hands and dancing. In between the two lines is the word "Walpurgisnacht." Perhaps they're doing a fusion dance?
*** Walpurgisnacht's familiars perform a similar dance both while the witch is attacking the town and while Madoka is cleansing the witches. They may be attacking Madoka, enhancing her power, or in some way trying to fuse with her (perhaps resulting in Kriemhild Gretchen's ultimate form#.
** This theory is strangely sound, since the basis of Walpurgisnacht is a gathering of witches. This could mean that Walpurgisnacht could be a mash-up of many witches, thus creating a super-witch.
** Further support for this theory may be the gradual dissolution of Walpurgisnacht as Madoka granted absolution to the various Magical Girls throughout time, in addition to the fact that the witch's familiars take the form of the various girls.
** Walpurgisnacht's minions [[File_talk:Puellamagis.png | suspiciously resemble]] the silhouettes of speculated magical girls like Gisela#?#, Charlotte#?#, Gertrud#?#, Izabel#?#, Elly#?) and one unknown.
* The theory that Walpurgisnacht is a fusion of multiple witches has been confirmed by Gen Urobuchi in [[Megami_Magazine_2011-07#Walpurgis_Night|this interview]].

==Trivia==
* A [[Episode_3#Witches_and_desserts|charlotte]] is a type of dessert.
* The name Charlotte could also refer to [[:Wikipedia:Charlotte Buff|Charlotte Buff]], a woman [[:Wikipedia:Goethe|Goethe]] unrequitedly loved and that deeply influenced him. The central and homonym character from Goethe's [[:Wikipedia:The Sorrows of Young Werther|The Sorrows of Young Werther]] was based on her.
* Runes in Charlotte's card are styled like biscuits.
* On the official website, mousing over Charlotte's card changes the image from the first to the second using JavaScript.
* Although official pronunciations of almost all witches' names are undisclosed, "Charlotte" is pronounced "シャルロッテ" (Sharurotte) like a German name (Shar-lot-teh) according to [http://www.amazon.co.jp/exec/obidos/ASIN/B004PVTNNK/ an official product's document].
* [[:Wikipedia:Pyotr|Pyotr]] is the Russian form of the given name Peter.
* Charlotte makes a brief appearance in [[Puella Magi Oriko Magica]].
* The [[Runes:Episode_3 | runes reading "MAMI MOGU MOGU GONBO"]] in Charlotte's barrier describe [[Mami Tomoe|Mami]]'s death, as mogu mogu is onomatopoeia for chewing, but also likely reference to a famous educational cooking TV show called [http://ja.wikipedia.org/wiki/%E3%83%A2%E3%82%B0%E3%83%A2%E3%82%B0GOMBO Mogu Mogu Gombo].
** There is no significant difference between the Japanese pronunciations of gonbo and gombo, so gonbo is an alternate romanization.
** Mogu Mogu Gombo aired from 1993 until 2003 and was hosted by two famous comedians (Kobuhei Hayashiya and HIROMI). The main target audience was children, but many adults also enjoyed it.
** The cooking and eating themes of the show match Charlotte's themes of sweets and eating Mami. A children's show matches other aspects of the barrier: Charlotte looks like a doll in one form and a clown in the other, she has a tea party setup like what a little girl might arrange, and she fills her barrier with candy.

===Charlotte in ''Rebellion''===
* According to the [[Movie 3 Brochure]], Charlotte is called "Bebe" in ''[[Puella Magi Madoka Magica the Movie: Rebellion|Rebellion]]'' because the other characters can't actually read the [[runes]].
** It's possible that Bebe's name was meant to contrast with Mami's name ("Baby" and "Mommy").
* It is suggested that Charlotte's design was changed to make her more expressive.
* According to Witches Guide, Mami found Bebe in her original appearance (looking as Charlotte does) and was quiet. Mami sews Bebe new clothes and over time her appearance continues to change and she becomes even more interactive.
* Bebe actually talks to the other characters. When she speaks, bubbles with katakana appear from her mouth, though the noises she makes are just gibberish. The other characters appear to understand her just fine, and subtitles appear to let the viewer know what she's saying.
* Bebe is shown to be extremely close to Mami. Mami even says that if she didn't meet Bebe she would have fallen into despair long ago.

==Observations==
* The head of her first form is shaped like a piece of candy in wrap.
* Watching carefully one can see that when Charlotte's second form gets injured a new Charlotte comes out of the mouth replacing the old as if the layers are being blown away.
* Charlotte reveals witches' kisses differ from witch to witch.
* A line in the [[:file:Guidebook_0067.jpg|design for Charlotte's labyrinth]] in the [[Puella_Magi_Madoka_Magica_Official_Guidebook_"You_Are_Not_Alone"#Witch_Design|Official Guidebook]] says "It's really a delicious cheese cake. My dying mother wanted to eat it, but maybe I should have cured her disease instead. However, that surely wasn't appropriate."
* A description in the [[Puella_Magi_Production_Note#Witch_of_cheesecake_.28early_concept_that_later_became_Charlotte.29 | Production Note]] reveals that Charlotte obtained "one single cheesecake" in strict accordance with her wish.

==Speculation==
* Her second form may have been inspired by [[wikipedia:The Very Hungry Caterpillar|The Very Hungry Caterpillar]].
* Her second form seems to be visually based on - or inspired by Japanese modern artist [[wikipedia:Takashi Murakami|Takashi Murakami]]'s art.
* Charlotte might have been a cancer patient. Patients undergoing chemotherapy are unable to eat certain foods such as cheese. This would explain her hospital-based labyrinth theme and the location of her grief seed. Kyubey is likely to target terminally ill girls.
** In that case, her caterpillar-like second form would represent unlimited reproduction of cancer cells.
* A fan theory about Charlotte's life as a magical girl has a number of similarities to {{Spoiler|Airi}}, from [[Kazumi Magica]]. {{Spoiler|Like Airi, she was a hospital patient and she wished to live and enjoy eating, just like Charlotte's obsession with cheese. Plus, both become witches.}}
* It is possible that she was designed around the theme of bulimia nervosa, which involves restrained food intake, periodic binge-eating, and frequently the purging of consumed foods through vomit. Issues of self-image may be involved.
* Charlotte might have another true body separately and be immortal without its destruction. (See the gallery)
* Assuming the cancer patient theory, she could have wished herself able to eat sweets without consequences. Such a wish would have likely cured her, but the selfishness of it -- compared to, for instance, wishing cancer didn't exist saving tons of people -- could have driven her toward becoming a witch. Her double form would then represent the guilt eating away at her: though she looked like an innocent girl, she felt like she was a selfish monster.
** Although it is also possible, that her magic potential wasn't enough for a wish of such magnitude.
* She may also have been a familiar that grew into a witch, as they are said to become "Pregnant with a grief seed", and yet we see Sayaka's (Oktavia's) barrier form immediatley after becoming a witch. One could assume that the creation of a larger barrier from a familiar would take longer.
** However, this seems unlikely due to the fact that a familiar already has a miniature barrier, and was nowhere to be seen. It is also later revealed that Charlotte was in fact a magical girl - Nagisa Momoe.
* The [[Puella_Magi_Madoka_Magica_Official_Guidebook_"You_Are_Not_Alone"#Witch_Design|Guidebook line]] on Charlotte indicates that it was Charlotte's mother who was ill. One speculation is that her mother loved food, especially cheese and sweets, and often shared them with Charlotte. When Kyubey approached during an emotional moment, Charlotte wished to share a cake with her mother one last time. After they ate the cake and the mother died, Charlotte realized that she could have wished to cure her mother, and quickly became a witch. Cheese, which Charlotte cannot create in her labyrinth, represents her mother.
** Since the shock of such a realization could darken a soul gem very quickly (much like the speed with which Homura's darkened in Episode 11), this theory allows for the possibility that Kyubey contracted Charlotte while Madoka and Sayaka were visiting the hospital in [[Episode 3]].
*** Perhaps Kyubey was hanging around on Madoka's shoulder, telepathically eavesdropping on people in the hospital, and heard Charlotte and her mother. "Charlotte, I wish I could eat cake with you one last time before I die." Kyubey sent one of his other bodies to make a contract. Once the cake was finished and they said their goodbyes, the wording of the wish caused the mother to die on the spot, and then Kyubey wondered out loud why Charlotte didn't wish to cure the disease instead. Instant witch, and he stuck the new grief seed into the wall where Madoka and Sayaka were headed to pressure them into contracting.
**** Alternatively, Charlotte was an existing witch that was defeated and the grief seed was either overused or, perhaps, Kyubey planted it there after receiving it from the magical girl that used it.
** The last two lines from the guidebook seem to imply that Charlotte had actually considered wishing for her mother to be healed, but simply never made said wish on the grounds of "But that wish is impossible, isn't it?" It seems very likely that once QB had actually granted said wish and made her into a magical girl, she saw that impossible things really could happen and was either driven into immediate regret and despair or she slowly broke down and destroyed herself with never ending questions and doubts.
** It should be mentioned the guidebooks clearly indicate prototype witches, and that there were significant differences between what was described in the guidebook and in the anime (see the Witch of cheesecake, below).
* Charlotte and Mami Tomoe could also be linked to the story “Hansel and Gretel". The witch in Hansel and Gretel lives in a house made of gingerbread, cake and candy, similar to Charlotte's barrier. The witch's intent is to eat the children, which is also like Charlotte's behavior.
* Charlotte's head also bears strong resemblance to a [http://st.houzz.com/simgs/1f012ac300f42382_4-4604/eclectic-cookware.jpg Charlotte Mold], a cooking vessel used exclusively for the baking and forming of desserts.

Charlotte reappears in ''[[Puella Magi Madoka Magica the Movie: Rebellion]]'', though she has a slightly different appearance. The other characters call her "Bebe", and she helps the magical girls in their fight against the [[Nightmare]]s. Bebe eventually returns to her human form, a magical girl named [[Nagisa Momoe]].

** Since the shock of such a realization could darken a soul gem very quickly (much like the speed with which Homura's darkened in Episode 11), this theory allows for the possibility that Kyubey contracted Charlotte while Madoka and Sayaka were visiting the hospital in [[Episode 3]].
*** Perhaps Kyubey was hanging around on Madoka's shoulder, telepathically eavesdropping on people in the hospital, and heard Charlotte and her mother. "Charlotte, I wish I could eat cake with you one last time before I die." Kyubey sent one of his other bodies to make a contract. Once the cake was finished and they said their goodbyes, the wording of the wish caused the mother to die on the spot, and then Kyubey wondered out loud why Charlotte didn't wish to cure the disease instead. Instant witch, and he stuck the new grief seed into the wall where Madoka and Sayaka were headed to pressure them into contracting.
**** Alternatively, Charlotte was an existing witch that was defeated and the grief seed was either overused or, perhaps, Kyubey planted it there after receiving it from the magical girl that used it.
** The last two lines from the guidebook seem to imply that Charlotte had actually considered wishing for her mother to be healed, but simply never made said wish on the grounds of "But that wish is impossible, isn't it?" It seems very likely that once QB had actually granted said wish and made her into a magical girl, she saw that impossible things really could happen and was either driven into immediate regret and despair or she slowly broke down and destroyed herself with never ending questions and doubts.
** It should be mentioned the guidebooks clearly indicate prototype witches, and that there were significant differences between what was described in the guidebook and in the anime (see the Witch of cheesecake, below).
* Charlotte and Mami Tomoe could also be linked to the story “Hansel and Gretel". The witch in Hansel and Gretel lives in a house made of gingerbread, cake and candy, similar to Charlotte's barrier. The witch's intent is to eat the children, which is also like Charlotte's behavior.
* Charlotte's head also bears strong resemblance to a [http://st.houzz.com/simgs/1f012ac300f42382_4-4604/eclectic-cookware.jpg Charlotte Mold], a cooking vessel used exclusively for the baking and forming of desserts.

'''{{nihongo|[[wikipedia:Walpurgis_Night|Walpurgisnacht]]|ワルプルギスの夜|Warupurugisu no Yoru|"Night of Walpurgis" or "Walpurgis Night"}}''' is supposedly the strongest witch current magical girls would have to fight. Her real name is unknown, while "Walpurgisnacht" is a common moniker given to it by magical girls. Her nature had been kept mysterious during most of the series, which led to a lot of speculation from fans during the original broadcast. This article's first purpose is, as with the other witches, to provide information about her.

The witch first appeared in the prologue "dream" sequence of [[Episode 1]], although it wasn't called by any name back then. This led to some speculations about the witch's identity before it was finally revealed in [[Episode 10]].

For a compilation of historical, mythological, and literary information concerning Walpurgisnacht, a term first mentioned by [[Homura Akemi|Homura]] in [[Episode 6]], see [[Speculah:Walpurgis Night|Speculah:Walpurgisnacht]].

==Trivia==
*Official description from [[Megami Magazine 2011-07#Walpurgis Night|July 2011 Megami]] interview with Urobuchi: ''In the last episode we saw the "Walpurgisnacht", but what kind of witch is it specifically?'' It has the destructive power to bring about natural disasters powerful enough to blow away an entire town, but originally it was a single witch. It's a witch that has grown from the combination of countless other witches. Walpurgisnacht combines with other witches in the same way two powerful tornadoes are able to combine and become larger. It's essentially a "conglomeration"-type witch. Because it's so powerful, it rarely shows itself.
* Walpurgisnacht is named for '''Walpurgisnacht''', a traditional spring festival celebrated on 30 April or 1 May in large parts of Central and Northern Europe. For more information on the festival's history, cultural and literary impacts, and connection to witchcraft, see [[Speculah:Walpurgis Night]].
* [[Kyoko Sakura]] confirmed that Walpurgisnacht was the most powerful witch in [[Episode 9]]; in [[Episode 10]], however, [[Madoka Kaname]] eclipsed her in power in two of the timelines created by [[Homura Akemi]], becoming the god-like [[Kriemhild Gretchen]]. [[Episode 11]] showed that Walpurgisnacht can withstand repeated attacks from heavy artillery, and her mere appearance can cause hundreds of deaths.
* While Walpurgisnacht does not need to hide in a barrier, like other witches, her arrival in Mitakihara Town is preceded by a carnival-like procession of familiars. This is apparently a reflection of her theatrical theme, and possibly also evidence of her desire to transform the world into a giant "stage."
** [[Puella_Magi_Madoka_Magica_Official_Guidebook_"You_Are_Not_Alone"#Labyrinth_design|The Guidebook]] describing the Witch's labyrinth design contains the line, "Everything in this world is fake. My life is nothing more than a drama that you penned. Please, prove it. ''"Faust"'' is on show." （この世界はすべて嘘でした。私の人生はあなたの書いた戯曲にすぎません。それを証明して下さい。「ファウスト」が上演中）
* The witch's most prominent familiars take the form of former magical girls, as evidenced by their resemblance to the [[:File:Puellamagis.png|magical girls]] shown in the final scene of [[Episode 12]].
**The manga version even takes this one step further by explicitly featuring the deceased Sayaka, Kyouko and Mami, all of which are main characters, as Walpurgis's minions. It turns out that [http://wiki.puella-magi.net/index.php?title=Puella_Magi_Madoka_Magica_Official_Guidebook_%22You_Are_Not_Alone%22&curid=4403&diff=32380&oldid=32379#EPISODE_COMMENTARIES this depiction was in the original storyboard of Episode 11.] It is unknown why this was changed.
**They also bear similiarity to characters from the music video of Maaya Sakamoto's Universe. This is unsurprising as both the MV and witch sequences are designed by animators [[Gekidan Inu Curry]].
* Walpurgis never drops a Grief Seed in any of the timelines. Whether this is because she doesn't have one or because the Grief Seed is always lost in the confusion of battle is unknown.
**However, Walpurgis is known to have a Grief Seed in the PSP game.
***In one of the timelines, Madoka lies about not getting any Grief Seeds after a battle with Walpurgis, and uses the seed on Homura's Soul Gem. Therefore, Walpurgis did have a Grief Seed.
****The grief seed Madoka uses contains a musical staff inside, likely making it Sayaka's.
* The exterior view of [[Homura Residence|Homura's residence]] resembles a scene from [[wikipedia:Shadow_of_Memories|''Shadow of Memories'']] (Shadow of Destiny for North America). Interestingly, it went through several title changes before release, among them ''The Day and Night of Walpurgisnacht'', ''Days of Walpurgis'', and ''Time Adventure''.
* [[NewType_2011-07#InuCurry_.28bewitched_space_design.29_and_Yukihiro_Miyamoto_.28series_director.29|According to witch animator and designer InuCurry]], Walpurgisnacht's and Kriemhild Gretchen's silhouettes are supposed to make a pair. The significance of this is unknown.
** [[Puella_Magi_Production_Note#Kriemhild_Gretchen.2C_Timeline_2_Version|Puella Magi Production Note]] further reveals that Walpurgisnacht is meant to look like the upper half of a sand timer, while Kriemhild Gretchen looks like the lower half. Interestingly, [[NewType_2011-05#Homura.27s_shield|Homura's shield has also been described as a sand timer]].
* According to Walpurgisnacht's page in the [[Guidebook]], the top part of the gear can turn into a stage where her familiars hold performances.
** Also according to the Guidebook, the familiars become as heavy as rocks when grabbed, like a [[wikipedia:Konaki-jiji|Konaki-jiji]].
* The mandala surrounding the witch has a [[wikipedia:Tomoe|tomoe]] pattern on it.
* Walpurgisnacht was voiced by [[Puella_Magi_Madoka_Magica_Official_Guidebook_"You_Are_Not_Alone"#Walpurgis_Comic|Kaori Mizuhashi]].
*[[Puella Magi Madoka Magica: The Different Story]] mentions Walpurgisnacht as a colossal super-dreadful witch, whose existence is only known through rumors from other magical girls.

==Speculation==
{{Theory/Header|status=debunked}}
* Many fans believed that the witch in the first episode was [[Sayaka]], citing similarities in their clothing. It was proven false in [[Episode 9]] when [[Oktavia von Seckendorff]] was shown.
* [[Homura]]'s [[Homura Residence|documents]] shown in [[Episode 6]] contain illustrations of Walpurgisnacht. This led to another speculation that it is the witch from the prologue. It was confirmed in [[Episode 10]].
* Homura may have been tracking down several other magical girls to figure out which one of them became Walpurgisnacht. She may also have been trying to figure out what the witch might look like; however, the visuals she has depict several magical girl appearances.
* Walpurgisnacht could be the witch of a magic girl who defeated the previous most powerful witch. As QB mentioned in episode 10, the only choice left for a magical girl after defeating the most powerful witch "is to become a (even more powerful) witch herself".
* The witch's familiars could potentially be the past witches' human form morphed just a bit.
* Given the nature of Walpurgisnacht and the presence of gears and the "falling" figure of the witch, Walpurgisnacht could be the witch form of Homura. Although Homura's magic is very limited, her experience in multiple timelines makes the witch a formidable foe.
** Walpurgisnacht could be Homura's witch form from the future, where she despairs with the fact that her involvement with Madoka only made her suffer some more. This would make sense if Timeline 1 was the best possible ending and the witch's goal is to kill Madoka alone (Timeline 1) or to kill Homura and end her fate or Kyubey to prevent him from making more contracts so other girls won't suffer a similar fate.
** Evidence supporting this theory are the gears and cogwheels, as well as the fact how her arrival is always extremely vague (ie. time travel, Homura Akemi's power as a magical girl).
*** Also by her theme of helplessness and her being "the fool who continuously spins in circles" (referencing the time loops Homura has created).
** '''This theory is now disproven by the reveal of [[Homulilly]] in the Portable game and in ''Rebellion''.'''
** "Walpurgisnacht" is essentially a nickname for either itself or its "dreadnought class". It's name, currently shown only as "?????", can potentially refer to any previously named witch that started combining with other witches, or even a new name for the combined form. Walpurgisnacht is "a Witch that has grown from the combination of countless other witches". We have no idea whether such a witch would retain the same appearance and abilities as the original witch from which it began as, then snowballed into. Or if a single Witch among those "countless witches" may gain dominance over others and become the "new core". It is likely that Homulilly is the "base witch", and the Walpurgisnacht that we see in the anime is the result of Homulilly's eventual conglomeration with other witches. Considering Homura/Homulilly's time traveling/endless loop mechanic/abilities, it is feasible that as long as Homulilly has been born into even one timeline/universe, she can potentially endlessly hop through ''at least'' the same one month cycle Homura repeats, possibly gathering and/or amassing other Witches through some sort of time magic. While witches generally "do not exist" in the post Madokami timeline, they ''can'' still come into being. (Proven by Ultimate Gretchen and Homulilly both spawning after Madoka's wish, birthed from Madoka and Homura, respectively.) The endless cycle fate that Homura goes through is similar to the released information about Walpurgisnacht/?????, knowing "it is all an endless play", etc.. Another possible connection between ????? and Homura, is the fact that despite all of Homura's power, she seemingly cannot inflict any damage to "Walpurgisnacht", perhaps as if they are the two sides of the same coin, possibly even strengthening ????? through increasing her own karmic burden with her timeline/parallel world/dimension connections. Which would reflect needing a more powerful Madoka to match it/stop it every time. If there was no relation between ????? and Homura, then there would be no reason she couldn't ''at least'' scratch it with an army's worth of weaponry and about 10 years of experience (100 months of repeats.), while Timeline 1 Madoka, the weakest one due to not yet amassing karmic burden, somehow is able to defeat the dreadnought-level Witch. Even the minor physicial changes to ????? throughout the timelines could also be a side-effect of Homura's constant growth. Homulilly was slightly different pre and post Madokami, after all. Kriemhild Gretchen wishes to "save everyone" by trapping them in an artificial world within her barrier. Homulilly is doomed to relive and watch her failures/own death forever. Considering Homura and Madoka's intertwined destiny, one a Goddess, the other a Devil, their Witch forms combining to form some kind of "all rapture hourglass mode form/witch" isn't too absurd. The two lovers, eternally tied through space and time; once their despair-ridden "Ultimate Formes" combine into that "sunadokei" (Literally "sand clock".), they will halt all of existance in all universes in an "endless rapture" of some kind.
*** '''The top section of Homulilly's head being cut off for seemingly no reason shortly after her birth in [[Rebellion]] might allude to this.'''
[[File:Walpurgis minions comparison.png|thumb|right|200px|Walpurgisnacht's minions were magical girls]]
* Some fans speculate that [[Kazumi]] might be Walpurgisnacht, because of her appearance. Since Walpurgis is a combination of countless other witches, probably Kazumi combinated with the Pleiades Saints and/or the girls trapped in the Freezer
** In the [[Puella_Magi_Madoka_Magica_Official_Guidebook_"You_Are_Not_Alone"#Labyrinth_design|guidebook]], the Witch's labyrinth design contains the line, "Everything in this world is fake. My life is nothing more than a drama that you penned..." it could be referring to the fact that Kazumi was actually a clone so she has no memories of her own and her life is fake.
** After the release of chapter 18, fans believe that Kazumi and/or [[Kanna Hijiri]] might be Walpurgisnacht. Notice what Kanna says during the chapter: "I'm just a doll that's living in a story she made..." which is similar to the witch's labyrinth design notes.
* The exact time of Walpurgisnacht's appearance may be midnight at the Brocken mountain in Germany, the site of real Walpurgisnacht festivities. This is approximately 8 AM in Japan. When Madoka defeats Walpurgis in Episode 12, a blue daytime sky is revealed. The sun is not shown, so is most likely close to the horizon, as it would be at 8 AM.
** '''The city's order to evacuate was announced at 7 AM in the Portable game and in Episode 11 of the anime.'''
** It is speculated that a Walpurgisnacht event has taken place before in the past, and perhaps it has visited different places during the night of the festival of witches. In [[Episode 8]], Kyoko is surprised to hear that Walpurgisnacht will visit [[Mitakihara Town|Mitakihara]], since it has never done it before.
*** Since the festival of witches takes place once a year, it is possible to speculate a Walpurgisnacht event takes place at least once a year in different places. People could have confused hurricane events or other natural disasters to be the work of nature instead of a witch.
* The preview pages for Oriko Magica reveal that the title character, Oriko, is a magical girl able to the future; in this future, she sees Walpurgisnacht, not upside down, wrecking Mitakihara Town. Then she sees the magical girl from the cover art, and believes that she might be the key to stopping Walpurgisnacht, suggesting to Kyubey that he go recruit her. As such, speculah: either Oriko or the girl from the cover will become Walpurgisnacht, as either one of them becoming that Witch would illustrate Oriko's helplessness at changing the future.
** Volume 2 of Oriko Magica reveals that Oriko had actually seen Kriemhild Gretchen.
* The witch's card refers to the humanoid part of Walpurgisnacht as a doll, and the gear as the "top part" of the witch. Therefore, the lower half is probably only a decoy body, similar to Charlotte's first form. This is further enforced by the fact that while the doll body is destroyed by Madoka's attack, the gear is unaffected and continues to approach her.
** Until Madoka destroys it, thus killing Walpurgisnacht for good.
* Let us say that "Walpurgisnacht" is the product of the amalgamation of several Witches. Considering that the festival goes back to ancient times, we can only assume that a New "Walpurgisnacht" emerges during the time of the Witches festival to replaced the old one if it gets defeated. It is unknown what happens to "Walpurgisnacht" after the witches festival ends. We can only assume that it either disassembles back to "normal" or perhaps it goes to slumber until the next festival. Considering there is little evidence, this speculation could be completely wrong.
* Perhaps Walpurgisnacht appears to absorb new magical girls/witches into its power. That could be why she came to Mitakihara -- to find Madoka.
** That works for later timelines when Homura's wish made her stronger, but not for the first timeline or two when Madoka was still average, if not weak, for a magical girl.
* Whatever the witch is, what it represents seems fairly clear -- in line with the overwhelming Buddhist allegorical nature of the show, it stands for the Hindu/Buddhist concept of [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Maya_%28illusion%29 Maya (illusion)]. As alluded to by the makers of the show, it is a stage for a play; as shown in Episode 11, it manifests itself as a carnival. This also explains the tragic grandeur and futility and of Homura's struggle against it: the endless war against the samsara of suffering can never be won because her opponent is not real. It can never be overcome in battle. It can only be transcended by an [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Buddha Awakened One].
{{Theory/Footer}}

{{Theory/Header|status=confirmed}}
* It is possible that Walpurgisnacht is a fusion of multiple witches into a single powerful entity. This is supported by Walpurgisnacht in both real-world belief and Faust being a witch's gathering - in this case the witches are gathering into one entity. The magical girl silhouettes in Homura's room can be interpreted as Homura not tracking down one magical girl that becomes Walpurgis, but rather all of the magical girls that become Walpurgis. The Paul Klee painting "Walpurgisnacht," assuming it has relevance, does seem to depict several witches fused together.
** One of the pictures in Homura's room is of two lines of female silhouettes holding hands and dancing. In between the two lines is the word "Walpurgisnacht." Perhaps they're doing a fusion dance?

'''{{nihongo|[[wikipedia:Walpurgis_Night|Walpurgisnacht]]|ワルプルギスの夜|Warupurugisu no Yoru|"Night of Walpurgis" or "Walpurgis Night"}}''' is supposedly the strongest witch current magical girls would have to fight. Her real name is unknown, while "Walpurgisnacht" is a common moniker given to it by magical girls. Her nature had been kept mysterious during most of the series, which led to a lot of speculation from fans during the original broadcast. This article's first purpose is, as with the other witches, to provide information about her.

The witch first appeared in the prologue "dream" sequence of [[Episode 1]], although it wasn't called by any name back then. This led to some speculations about the witch's identity before it was finally revealed in [[Episode 10]].

For a compilation of historical, mythological, and literary information concerning Walpurgisnacht, a term first mentioned by [[Homura Akemi|Homura]] in [[Episode 6]], see [[Speculah:Walpurgis Night|Speculah:Walpurgisnacht]].

==Trivia==
*Official description from [[Megami Magazine 2011-07#Walpurgis Night|July 2011 Megami]] interview with Urobuchi: ''In the last episode we saw the "Walpurgisnacht", but what kind of witch is it specifically?'' It has the destructive power to bring about natural disasters powerful enough to blow away an entire town, but originally it was a single witch. It's a witch that has grown from the combination of countless other witches. Walpurgisnacht combines with other witches in the same way two powerful tornadoes are able to combine and become larger. It's essentially a "conglomeration"-type witch. Because it's so powerful, it rarely shows itself.
* Walpurgisnacht is named for '''Walpurgisnacht''', a traditional spring festival celebrated on 30 April or 1 May in large parts of Central and Northern Europe. For more information on the festival's history, cultural and literary impacts, and connection to witchcraft, see [[Speculah:Walpurgis Night]].
* [[Kyoko Sakura]] confirmed that Walpurgisnacht was the most powerful witch in [[Episode 9]]; in [[Episode 10]], however, [[Madoka Kaname]] eclipsed her in power in two of the timelines created by [[Homura Akemi]], becoming the god-like [[Kriemhild Gretchen]]. [[Episode 11]] showed that Walpurgisnacht can withstand repeated attacks from heavy artillery, and her mere appearance can cause hundreds of deaths.
* While Walpurgisnacht does not need to hide in a barrier, like other witches, her arrival in Mitakihara Town is preceded by a carnival-like procession of familiars. This is apparently a reflection of her theatrical theme, and possibly also evidence of her desire to transform the world into a giant "stage."
** [[Puella_Magi_Madoka_Magica_Official_Guidebook_"You_Are_Not_Alone"#Labyrinth_design|The Guidebook]] describing the Witch's labyrinth design contains the line, "Everything in this world is fake. My life is nothing more than a drama that you penned. Please, prove it. ''"Faust"'' is on show." （この世界はすべて嘘でした。私の人生はあなたの書いた戯曲にすぎません。それを証明して下さい。「ファウスト」が上演中）
* The witch's most prominent familiars take the form of former magical girls, as evidenced by their resemblance to the [[:File:Puellamagis.png|magical girls]] shown in the final scene of [[Episode 12]].
**The manga version even takes this one step further by explicitly featuring the deceased Sayaka, Kyouko and Mami, all of which are main characters, as Walpurgis's minions. It turns out that [http://wiki.puella-magi.net/index.php?title=Puella_Magi_Madoka_Magica_Official_Guidebook_%22You_Are_Not_Alone%22&curid=4403&diff=32380&oldid=32379#EPISODE_COMMENTARIES this depiction was in the original storyboard of Episode 11.] It is unknown why this was changed.
**They also bear similiarity to characters from the music video of Maaya Sakamoto's Universe. This is unsurprising as both the MV and witch sequences are designed by animators [[Gekidan Inu Curry]].
* Walpurgis never drops a Grief Seed in any of the timelines. Whether this is because she doesn't have one or because the Grief Seed is always lost in the confusion of battle is unknown.
**However, Walpurgis is known to have a Grief Seed in the PSP game.
***In one of the timelines, Madoka lies about not getting any Grief Seeds after a battle with Walpurgis, and uses the seed on Homura's Soul Gem. Therefore, Walpurgis did have a Grief Seed.
****The grief seed Madoka uses contains a musical staff inside, likely making it Sayaka's.
* The exterior view of [[Homura Residence|Homura's residence]] resembles a scene from [[wikipedia:Shadow_of_Memories|''Shadow of Memories'']] (Shadow of Destiny for North America). Interestingly, it went through several title changes before release, among them ''The Day and Night of Walpurgisnacht'', ''Days of Walpurgis'', and ''Time Adventure''.
* [[NewType_2011-07#InuCurry_.28bewitched_space_design.29_and_Yukihiro_Miyamoto_.28series_director.29|According to witch animator and designer InuCurry]], Walpurgisnacht's and Kriemhild Gretchen's silhouettes are supposed to make a pair. The significance of this is unknown.
** [[Puella_Magi_Production_Note#Kriemhild_Gretchen.2C_Timeline_2_Version|Puella Magi Production Note]] further reveals that Walpurgisnacht is meant to look like the upper half of a sand timer, while Kriemhild Gretchen looks like the lower half. Interestingly, [[NewType_2011-05#Homura.27s_shield|Homura's shield has also been described as a sand timer]].
* According to Walpurgisnacht's page in the [[Guidebook]], the top part of the gear can turn into a stage where her familiars hold performances.
** Also according to the Guidebook, the familiars become as heavy as rocks when grabbed, like a [[wikipedia:Konaki-jiji|Konaki-jiji]].
* The mandala surrounding the witch has a [[wikipedia:Tomoe|tomoe]] pattern on it.
* Walpurgisnacht was voiced by [[Puella_Magi_Madoka_Magica_Official_Guidebook_"You_Are_Not_Alone"#Walpurgis_Comic|Kaori Mizuhashi]].
*[[Puella Magi Madoka Magica: The Different Story]] mentions Walpurgisnacht as a colossal super-dreadful witch, whose existence is only known through rumors from other magical girls.

==Speculation==
{{Theory/Header|status=debunked}}
* Many fans believed that the witch in the first episode was [[Sayaka]], citing similarities in their clothing. It was proven false in [[Episode 9]] when [[Oktavia von Seckendorff]] was shown.
* [[Homura]]'s [[Homura Residence|documents]] shown in [[Episode 6]] contain illustrations of Walpurgisnacht. This led to another speculation that it is the witch from the prologue. It was confirmed in [[Episode 10]].
* Homura may have been tracking down several other magical girls to figure out which one of them became Walpurgisnacht. She may also have been trying to figure out what the witch might look like; however, the visuals she has depict several magical girl appearances.
* Walpurgisnacht could be the witch of a magic girl who defeated the previous most powerful witch. As QB mentioned in episode 10, the only choice left for a magical girl after defeating the most powerful witch "is to become a (even more powerful) witch herself".
* The witch's familiars could potentially be the past witches' human form morphed just a bit.
* Given the nature of Walpurgisnacht and the presence of gears and the "falling" figure of the witch, Walpurgisnacht could be the witch form of Homura. Although Homura's magic is very limited, her experience in multiple timelines makes the witch a formidable foe.
** Walpurgisnacht could be Homura's witch form from the future, where she despairs with the fact that her involvement with Madoka only made her suffer some more. This would make sense if Timeline 1 was the best possible ending and the witch's goal is to kill Madoka alone (Timeline 1) or to kill Homura and end her fate or Kyubey to prevent him from making more contracts so other girls won't suffer a similar fate.
** Evidence supporting this theory are the gears and cogwheels, as well as the fact how her arrival is always extremely vague (ie. time travel, Homura Akemi's power as a magical girl).
*** Also by her theme of helplessness and her being "the fool who continuously spins in circles" (referencing the time loops Homura has created).
** '''This theory is now disproven by the reveal of [[Homulilly]] in the Portable game and in ''Rebellion''.'''
** "Walpurgisnacht" is essentially a nickname for either itself or its "dreadnought class". It's name, currently shown only as "?????", can potentially refer to any previously named witch that started combining with other witches, or even a new name for the combined form. Walpurgisnacht is "a Witch that has grown from the combination of countless other witches". We have no idea whether such a witch would retain the same appearance and abilities as the original witch from which it began as, then snowballed into. Or if a single Witch among those "countless witches" may gain dominance over others and become the "new core". It is likely that Homulilly is the "base witch", and the Walpurgisnacht that we see in the anime is the result of Homulilly's eventual conglomeration with other witches. Considering Homura/Homulilly's time traveling/endless loop mechanic/abilities, it is feasible that as long as Homulilly has been born into even one timeline/universe, she can potentially endlessly hop through ''at least'' the same one month cycle Homura repeats, possibly gathering and/or amassing other Witches through some sort of time magic. While witches generally "do not exist" in the post Madokami timeline, they ''can'' still come into being. (Proven by Ultimate Gretchen and Homulilly both spawning after Madoka's wish, birthed from Madoka and Homura, respectively.) The endless cycle fate that Homura goes through is similar to the released information about Walpurgisnacht/?????, knowing "it is all an endless play", etc.. Another possible connection between ????? and Homura, is the fact that despite all of Homura's power, she seemingly cannot inflict any damage to "Walpurgisnacht", perhaps as if they are the two sides of the same coin, possibly even strengthening ????? through increasing her own karmic burden with her timeline/parallel world/dimension connections. Which would reflect needing a more powerful Madoka to match it/stop it every time. If there was no relation between ????? and Homura, then there would be no reason she couldn't ''at least'' scratch it with an army's worth of weaponry and about 10 years of experience (100 months of repeats.), while Timeline 1 Madoka, the weakest one due to not yet amassing karmic burden, somehow is able to defeat the dreadnought-level Witch. Even the minor physicial changes to ????? throughout the timelines could also be a side-effect of Homura's constant growth. Homulilly was slightly different pre and post Madokami, after all. Kriemhild Gretchen wishes to "save everyone" by trapping them in an artificial world within her barrier. Homulilly is doomed to relive and watch her failures/own death forever. Considering Homura and Madoka's intertwined destiny, one a Goddess, the other a Devil, their Witch forms combining to form some kind of "all rapture hourglass mode form/witch" isn't too absurd. The two lovers, eternally tied through space and time; once their despair-ridden "Ultimate Formes" combine into that "sunadokei" (Literally "sand clock".), they will halt all of existance in all universes in an "endless rapture" of some kind.
*** '''The top section of Homulilly's head being cut off for seemingly no reason shortly after her birth in [[Rebellion]] might allude to this.'''
[[File:Walpurgis minions comparison.png|thumb|right|200px|Walpurgisnacht's minions were magical girls]]
* Some fans speculate that [[Kazumi]] might be Walpurgisnacht, because of her appearance. Since Walpurgis is a combination of countless other witches, probably Kazumi combinated with the Pleiades Saints and/or the girls trapped in the Freezer
** In the [[Puella_Magi_Madoka_Magica_Official_Guidebook_"You_Are_Not_Alone"#Labyrinth_design|guidebook]], the Witch's labyrinth design contains the line, "Everything in this world is fake. My life is nothing more than a drama that you penned..." it could be referring to the fact that Kazumi was actually a clone so she has no memories of her own and her life is fake.
** After the release of chapter 18, fans believe that Kazumi and/or [[Kanna Hijiri]] might be Walpurgisnacht. Notice what Kanna says during the chapter: "I'm just a doll that's living in a story she made..." which is similar to the witch's labyrinth design notes.
* The exact time of Walpurgisnacht's appearance may be midnight at the Brocken mountain in Germany, the site of real Walpurgisnacht festivities. This is approximately 8 AM in Japan. When Madoka defeats Walpurgis in Episode 12, a blue daytime sky is revealed. The sun is not shown, so is most likely close to the horizon, as it would be at 8 AM.
** '''The city's order to evacuate was announced at 7 AM in the Portable game and in Episode 11 of the anime.'''
** It is speculated that a Walpurgisnacht event has taken place before in the past, and perhaps it has visited different places during the night of the festival of witches. In [[Episode 8]], Kyoko is surprised to hear that Walpurgisnacht will visit [[Mitakihara Town|Mitakihara]], since it has never done it before.
*** Since the festival of witches takes place once a year, it is possible to speculate a Walpurgisnacht event takes place at least once a year in different places. People could have confused hurricane events or other natural disasters to be the work of nature instead of a witch.
* The preview pages for Oriko Magica reveal that the title character, Oriko, is a magical girl able to the future; in this future, she sees Walpurgisnacht, not upside down, wrecking Mitakihara Town. Then she sees the magical girl from the cover art, and believes that she might be the key to stopping Walpurgisnacht, suggesting to Kyubey that he go recruit her. As such, speculah: either Oriko or the girl from the cover will become Walpurgisnacht, as either one of them becoming that Witch would illustrate Oriko's helplessness at changing the future.
** Volume 2 of Oriko Magica reveals that Oriko had actually seen Kriemhild Gretchen.
* The witch's card refers to the humanoid part of Walpurgisnacht as a doll, and the gear as the "top part" of the witch. Therefore, the lower half is probably only a decoy body, similar to Charlotte's first form. This is further enforced by the fact that while the doll body is destroyed by Madoka's attack, the gear is unaffected and continues to approach her.
** Until Madoka destroys it, thus killing Walpurgisnacht for good.
* Let us say that "Walpurgisnacht" is the product of the amalgamation of several Witches. Considering that the festival goes back to ancient times, we can only assume that a New "Walpurgisnacht" emerges during the time of the Witches festival to replaced the old one if it gets defeated. It is unknown what happens to "Walpurgisnacht" after the witches festival ends. We can only assume that it either disassembles back to "normal" or perhaps it goes to slumber until the next festival. Considering there is little evidence, this speculation could be completely wrong.
* Perhaps Walpurgisnacht appears to absorb new magical girls/witches into its power. That could be why she came to Mitakihara -- to find Madoka.
** That works for later timelines when Homura's wish made her stronger, but not for the first timeline or two when Madoka was still average, if not weak, for a magical girl.
* Whatever the witch is, what it represents seems fairly clear -- in line with the overwhelming Buddhist allegorical nature of the show, it stands for the Hindu/Buddhist concept of [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Maya_%28illusion%29 Maya (illusion)]. As alluded to by the makers of the show, it is a stage for a play; as shown in Episode 11, it manifests itself as a carnival. This also explains the tragic grandeur and futility and of Homura's struggle against it: the endless war against the samsara of suffering can never be won because her opponent is not real. It can never be overcome in battle. It can only be transcended by an [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Buddha Awakened One].
{{Theory/Footer}}

{{Theory/Header|status=confirmed}}
* It is possible that Walpurgisnacht is a fusion of multiple witches into a single powerful entity. This is supported by Walpurgisnacht in both real-world belief and Faust being a witch's gathering - in this case the witches are gathering into one entity. The magical girl silhouettes in Homura's room can be interpreted as Homura not tracking down one magical girl that becomes Walpurgis, but rather all of the magical girls that become Walpurgis. The Paul Klee painting "Walpurgisnacht," assuming it has relevance, does seem to depict several witches fused together.
** One of the pictures in Homura's room is of two lines of female silhouettes holding hands and dancing. In between the two lines is the word "Walpurgisnacht." Perhaps they're doing a fusion dance?
*** Walpurgisnacht's familiars perform a similar dance both while the witch is attacking the town and while Madoka is cleansing the witches. They may be attacking Madoka, enhancing her power, or in some way trying to fuse with her (perhaps resulting in Kriemhild Gretchen's ultimate form#.
** This theory is strangely sound, since the basis of Walpurgisnacht is a gathering of witches. This could mean that Walpurgisnacht could be a mash-up of many witches, thus creating a super-witch.
** Further support for this theory may be the gradual dissolution of Walpurgisnacht as Madoka granted absolution to the various Magical Girls throughout time, in addition to the fact that the witch's familiars take the form of the various girls.
** Walpurgisnacht's minions [[File_talk:Puellamagis.png | suspiciously resemble]] the silhouettes of speculated magical girls like Gisela#?#, Charlotte#?#, Gertrud#?#, Izabel#?#, Elly#?) and one unknown.
* The theory that Walpurgisnacht is a fusion of multiple witches has been confirmed by Gen Urobuchi in [[Megami_Magazine_2011-07#Walpurgis_Night|this interview]].

File:Display 08.jpg|Note the green figure above the caption "Walpurgis Night" on the left-hand side. This may have been Walpurgisnacht's magical girl form, as a girl wearing a similar tulip-shaped skirt and conical headdress appears in the magical girl "lineup" at the end of the series.

[[File:Manga Time Kirara Magica Vol.1.jpg|right|thumb|200px|Cover of the first volume.]]
{{nihongo|'''Manga Time Kirara Magica'''|まんがタイムきらら☆マギカ|Manga Taimu Kirara☆Magika}} is a ''Puella Magi''-only magazine published bimonthly. Each issue contains information about the latest Madoka Magica releases, interviews with staff members, manga one-shots and serializations by various artists.

''Kirara Magica'' was first announced in ''Manga Time Kirara Forward''<nowiki>'</nowiki>s June 2012 issue, and later in ''Manga Time Kirara Web'''s official ''Madoka Magica'' page. The magazine had its first issue released on June 8, 2012. Starting with the October 2013 issue, ''Manga Time Kirara Magica'' was published monthly until the end of 2013, where it was published bimonthly again.

Note that ''[[Puella Magi Kazumi Magica]]'' and ''[[Puella Magi Suzune Magica]]'' were both serialized in ''Kirara Forward'' instead of ''Kirara Magica'', so no information about them will be given here. More information about the ''[[Puella Magi Oriko Magica]]'' installments and the spin-offs ''[[Puella Magi Tart Magica]]'' and ''[[Puella Magi Madoka Magica: Wraith Arc]]'' can be found at their own pages.

[[File:Manga Time Kirara Magica Vol.1.jpg|right|thumb|200px|Cover of the first volume.]]
{{nihongo|'''Manga Time Kirara Magica'''|まんがタイムきらら☆マギカ|Manga Taimu Kirara☆Magika}} is a ''Puella Magi''-only magazine published bimonthly. Each issue contains information about the latest Madoka Magica releases, interviews with staff members, manga one-shots and serializations by various artists.

''Kirara Magica'' was first announced in ''Manga Time Kirara Forward''<nowiki>'</nowiki>s June 2012 issue, and later in ''Manga Time Kirara Web'''s official ''Madoka Magica'' page. The magazine had its first issue released on June 8, 2012. Starting with the October 2013 issue, ''Manga Time Kirara Magica'' was published monthly until the end of 2013, where it was published bimonthly again.

Note that ''[[Puella Magi Kazumi Magica]]'' and ''[[Puella Magi Suzune Magica]]'' were both serialized in ''Kirara Forward'' instead of ''Kirara Magica'', so no information about them will be given here. More information about ''[[Puella Magi Oriko Magica]]'' installments and the spin-off ''[[Puella Magi Tart Magica]]'' can be found at their own pages.

* "Tamura" means "gathering". "Puella Magi Homura Tamura" in full could thus be read as "Gathering of Magical Girl Homura", "Homura's Gathering of Magical Girls", "Magical Girl Homura's Gathering(s)", or so on.

If you understand Japanese well enough, feel free to add items or make corrections to the pink news box. When deleting old stuff from there, move it to the <strike>past events section at the bottom of the page</strike> [[Madoka Magica Online Events]] page. [[User:KM|KM]] 09:21, 19 September 2012 (UTC)

Can we remove or make the "Game Information" section smaller? It's taking too much space for only a little amount of information with little amount of importance. [[User:Marumaru|Marumaru]] 07:16, 22 September 2012 (UTC)
:Yeah, it's kind of wasteful now that the game is out. Since we're getting more activity now it might be time to split it up into a bunch of pages. I'll start working on that tomorrow, maybe spin off [[Madoka Magica Online Introduction | introduction]], items, gameplay, and events pages, while keeping an index, the news box, getting started, and troubleshooting on the main page. Maybe an art page too (would a post your megucas section be a good idea or a total clusterfuck?) Anyway I just spent all my AP so good night.[[User:KM|KM]] 11:02, 22 September 2012 (UTC)

Good job! Yeah, a post your meguca is probably not a good idea, we have the vg thread for that. I was thinking of putting a countdown to maintenance and until end of maintenance (like what they did when the anime is still airing), just because it'll look cool but my wiki skills are not that high enough. I think we should also put a "Maintenance Changes"(?) section for updates after each of the maintenance ends for easy reference. I could do it myself but tomorrow I will most probably be too busy... [[User:Marumaru|Marumaru]] 17:57, 25 September 2012 (UTC)
:Coundown added. Hopefully it works for all time zones. I put a commented out changes box underneath the news box, but didn't add the changes to it. [[User:KM|KM]] 00:18, 26 September 2012 (UTC)
::Awesome! Tried changing the timer to until maintenance ends and added the timezone ( UTC +0900) but I'm in Japan and so is my system clock, so I'm not sure if it works.[[User:Marumaru|Marumaru]] 03:15, 26 September 2012 (UTC)

:No. You cannot even have more than one character in the first place, even on a different server without the same account. [[User:Chanteyousei|Chanteyousei]] 09:02, 11 December 2012 (UTC)

How are you supposed to upgrade the weapons of the canon magical girls?? I can only upgrade my own weapon. I cannot find the canon magical girls' weapons in the "combine cards to upgrade" area. Help?!?!?!?[[User:Homura Akemi|Homura Akemi]] 03:05, 2 June 2013 (UTC)

Seems like the person updating this finally burned out on it. My Japanese is rusty but I'll do my best to update the event section. --[[User:Mimihamburger|Mimihamburger]] 16:13, 15 October 2013 (UTC)
:I can only use google translate and I'm lazy, so we need all the help we can get. Can you check how the raid boss chance increase works? Is it based on a rare boss spawn? [[User:KM|KM]] 22:43, 15 October 2013 (UTC)

==PvP mode outbalanced?==
I don't know, but when I always play this mode, I always get lose against player with lesser level but with +1000 attack. --[[User:Ur Didact|Ur Didact]] 17:29, 24 December 2012 (UTC)
*You probably got hit by an AOE attack. Fight that person again and watch through the whole battle. You may find out something about why you lost. [[User:Chanteyousei|Chanteyousei]] 08:44, 27 December 2012 (UTC)

==Music==
I uploaded a playlist of all of the games music to my Youtube channel.

Would the tracks warrant a section on this page?

==Pink tickets==

How are you supposed to get pink tickets that can buy S, SS and U megucas? (S for 4 tickets, SS for 5 tickets, and U for 6 tickets) I can't find or buy them anywhere. `FIFI 00:56, 23 September 2013 (UTC)
:Added to the items page: You can get pink tickets by drawing the same meguca from the Platinum box more than once, or through events such as the EX card collection and one-time codes during the first anniversary celebration. [[User:KM|KM]] 23:21, 24 September 2013 (UTC)

Thank you to all that have updated and translated Madoka Magica Online. I wish I could of contributed a bit more but I really appreciate [[User:KM|KM]] and everyone else who shared a love/hate relationship with this game. Madoka Magica Online may have been a chore but it always got me through the work day. I'm sad to see it go but I think it's time to let go. It's been a good three years guys -

There's another update on http://mm.my-gg.com/ as of 1/12/2012. There's a new trailer for the game as well as a new news post on the site. --[[User:Xaelon|Xaelon]] 01:18, 13 January 2012 (UTC)
:News is already posted for users who can't access the site. I can't post the trailer unless someone loads it up on Nico or something. To be honest though, neither are particularly interesting. --[[User:Randomanon|randomanon]] 01:53, 13 January 2012 (UTC)

Does anyone know how to clear my history packages? I keep getting the pop-up when I try to use my tokens, and I've reduced to 5-10 per tab, so that's not the problem. --[[User:Captchaluff|Captchaluff]] 00:16, 8 September 2012 (UTC)
:Same place you get the compensation presents. History button in the lobby, presents button, click the little button to the right of each line.

If you understand Japanese well enough, feel free to add items or make corrections to the pink news box. When deleting old stuff from there, move it to the <strike>past events section at the bottom of the page</strike> [[Madoka Magica Online Events]] page. [[User:KM|KM]] 09:21, 19 September 2012 (UTC)

Can we remove or make the "Game Information" section smaller? It's taking too much space for only a little amount of information with little amount of importance. [[User:Marumaru|Marumaru]] 07:16, 22 September 2012 (UTC)
:Yeah, it's kind of wasteful now that the game is out. Since we're getting more activity now it might be time to split it up into a bunch of pages. I'll start working on that tomorrow, maybe spin off [[Madoka Magica Online Introduction | introduction]], items, gameplay, and events pages, while keeping an index, the news box, getting started, and troubleshooting on the main page. Maybe an art page too (would a post your megucas section be a good idea or a total clusterfuck?) Anyway I just spent all my AP so good night.[[User:KM|KM]] 11:02, 22 September 2012 (UTC)

Good job! Yeah, a post your meguca is probably not a good idea, we have the vg thread for that. I was thinking of putting a countdown to maintenance and until end of maintenance (like what they did when the anime is still airing), just because it'll look cool but my wiki skills are not that high enough. I think we should also put a "Maintenance Changes"(?) section for updates after each of the maintenance ends for easy reference. I could do it myself but tomorrow I will most probably be too busy... [[User:Marumaru|Marumaru]] 17:57, 25 September 2012 (UTC)
:Coundown added. Hopefully it works for all time zones. I put a commented out changes box underneath the news box, but didn't add the changes to it. [[User:KM|KM]] 00:18, 26 September 2012 (UTC)
::Awesome! Tried changing the timer to until maintenance ends and added the timezone ( UTC +0900) but I'm in Japan and so is my system clock, so I'm not sure if it works.[[User:Marumaru|Marumaru]] 03:15, 26 September 2012 (UTC)

Is it possible transferring your items to another account? -[[Special:Contributions/204.102.218.122|204.102.218.122]] 02:12, 20 November 2012 (UTC)
:No. You cannot even have more than one character in the first place, even on a different server without the same account. [[User:Chanteyousei|Chanteyousei]] 09:02, 11 December 2012 (UTC)

How are you supposed to upgrade the weapons of the canon magical girls?? I can only upgrade my own weapon. I cannot find the canon magical girls' weapons in the "combine cards to upgrade" area. Help?!?!?!?[[User:Homura Akemi|Homura Akemi]] 03:05, 2 June 2013 (UTC)

Seems like the person updating this finally burned out on it. My Japanese is rusty but I'll do my best to update the event section. --[[User:Mimihamburger|Mimihamburger]] 16:13, 15 October 2013 (UTC)
:I can only use google translate and I'm lazy, so we need all the help we can get. Can you check how the raid boss chance increase works? Is it based on a rare boss spawn? [[User:KM|KM]] 22:43, 15 October 2013 (UTC)

==PvP mode outbalanced?==
I don't know, but when I always play this mode, I always get lose against player with lesser level but with +1000 attack. --[[User:Ur Didact|Ur Didact]] 17:29, 24 December 2012 (UTC)
*You probably got hit by an AOE attack. Fight that person again and watch through the whole battle. You may find out something about why you lost. [[User:Chanteyousei|Chanteyousei]] 08:44, 27 December 2012 (UTC)
