==Speculation==
{{Theory/Header|status=unknown}}
*It is likely that the [[Concept movie]] became ''Walpurgisnacht: Rising''.
*The recent trailer and its poster shows multiple [[Homura]]'s in a single shot. It is possible that the movie deals with either a multiverse or doppelgangers.
**Alternatively, multiple timelines could be merging together.
**Alternatively, based on similar costume elements such as the design of one Homura's headband, the [[Clara Dolls]] are capable of assuming her form.
**Almost all of the returning girls have a new form/design. This may further promote this theory.
* The cast list mentions that Gekidan Inu Curry is designing the "parallel world", possibly relating to some sort of alternate dimension created by [[Devil Homura]]. This could explain why the Holy Quintet has different designs.
*The new magical girl incorporates design elements from most of the [[Holy Quintet]]:
** She may be related to them somehow.
** Her amalgamate outfit and her lack of a defined face in the trailer may suggest that she is intended to be a representation for the average Magical Girl in Homura's new universe.
*Madoka has a different outfit in the teaser poster and in the 1.1 visual. The poster could be Homura grasping for her old life, and the new Madoka design representing the coming future (which Homura has shackled, as shown by the padlock).
*The official site says that the movie is "the beginning of a new chapter". This probably means this will not be the finale to the series.
*It's possible that [[Homulilly]] transforms into Walpurgisnacht. Devil Homura is the opposite of Ultimate Madoka just as Walpurgisnacht is the opposite of [[Kriemhild Gretchen]]. Additionally, Homulilly's head is cut off just like Walpurgisnacht's head. Furthermore, the gears under Walpurgisnacht's dress could also correlate with Homura's old power of time manipulation.
*The new orange-haired girl seen alongside Kyubey in the trailer could be the bear girl from [[Episode 12]].
**The bear girl was also seen in the [[Concept Movie]].
*The new magical girls could be the human forms of witches from the original anime
**The green-haired girl could be the human form of [[Elsa Maria]], as evidenced by the trees and rays of sunlight surrounding her, both elements present in Elsa Maria's labyrinth. The plant motif could also allude to her being [[Gertrud]].
**The orange-haired girl could be the human form of [[Albertine]], as her being depicted in a ball pit with Nagisa implies she may be similar in age, or is at least childish. Bright colors, like the balls she's surrounded by, are also a key feature of [[Elly]]'s labyrinth.
**It's also possible the new girls are part of [[Walpurgisnacht]] herself.
{{Theory/Footer}}

==Trivia==
*Although [[Nagisa]] so far doesn't appear in promotional material, [https://madokamagicausa.com/ the website] confirms she'll take part in the movie.
*The scene in the trailer of Homura holding an umbrella while standing on a stepped waterfall is reminiscent of the painting ''[[wikipedia:File:The_Umbrella_Girl_by_Banksy_New_Orleans_2008_01.jpg|The Umbrella Girl]]'' by the artist Banksy, depicting a little girl holding an umbrella and extending her hand out to feel the rain, while the rain is instead pouring down on her from within the umbrella.
*The green-haired girl seen in the September 15th trailer was also seen in the Concept Movie.
*In the first trailer, Homura is shown to be in front of the 18th tarot card, The Moon. The Moon card represents, illusion, dreams, vagueness, instability, deception, anxiety, fear, misconception, subconscious,and insecurity <ref>https://www.thetarotguide.com/the-moon/</ref>

==Speculation==
{{Theory/Header|status=unknown}}
*It is likely that the [[Concept movie]] became ''Walpurgisnacht: Rising''.
*The recent trailer and its poster shows multiple [[Homura]]'s in a single shot. It is possible that the movie deals with either a multiverse or doppelgangers.
**Alternatively, multiple timelines could be merging together.
**Alternatively, based on similar costume elements such as the design of one Homura's headband, the [[Clara Dolls]] are capable of assuming her form.
**Almost all of the returning girls have a new form/design. This may further promote this theory.
* The cast list mentions that Gekidan Inu Curry is designing the "parallel world", possibly relating to some sort of alternate dimension created by [[Devil Homura]]. This could explain why the Holy Quintet has different designs.
*The new magical girl incorporates design elements from most of the [[Holy Quintet]]:
** She may be related to them somehow.
** Her amalgamate outfit and her lack of a defined face in the trailer may suggest that she is intended to be a representation for the average Magical Girl in Homura's new universe.
*Madoka has a different outfit in the teaser poster and in the 1.1 visual. The poster could be Homura grasping for her old life, and the new Madoka design representing the coming future (which Homura has shackled, as shown by the padlock).
*The official site says that the movie is "the beginning of a new chapter". This probably means this will not be the finale to the series.
*It's possible that [[Homulilly]] transforms into Walpurgisnacht. Devil Homura is the opposite of Ultimate Madoka just as Walpurgisnacht is the opposite of [[Kriemhild Gretchen]]. Additionally, Homulilly's head is cut off just like Walpurgisnacht's head. Furthermore, the gears under Walpurgisnacht's dress could also correlate with Homura's old power of time manipulation.
*The new orange-haired girl seen alongside Kyubey in the trailer could be the bear girl from [[Episode 12]].
**The bear girl was also seen in the [[Concept Movie]].
*The new magical girls could be the human forms of witches from the original anime
**The green-haired girl could be the human form of [[Elsa Maria]], as evidenced by the trees and rays of sunlight surrounding her, both elements present in Elsa Maria's labyrinth. The plant motif could also allude to her being [[Gertrud]].
**The orange-haired girl could be the human form of [[Albertine]], as her being depicted in a ball pit with Nagisa implies she may be similar in age, or is at least childish. Bright colors, like the balls she's surrounded by, are also a key feature of [[Elly]]'s labyrinth.
**It's also possible the new girls are part of [[Walpurgisnacht]] herself.
{{Theory/Footer}}

==Trivia==
*Although [[Nagisa]] so far doesn't appear in promotional material, [https://madokamagicausa.com/ the website] confirms she'll take part in the movie.
*The scene in the trailer of Homura holding an umbrella while standing on a stepped waterfall is reminiscent of the painting ''[[wikipedia:File:The_Umbrella_Girl_by_Banksy_New_Orleans_2008_01.jpg|The Umbrella Girl]]'' by the artist Banksy, depicting a little girl holding an umbrella and extending her hand out to feel the rain, while the rain is instead pouring down on her from within the umbrella.
*The green-haired girl seen in the September 15th trailer was also seen in the Concept Movie.
*In the first trailer, Homura is shown to be in front of the 18th tarot card, The Moon. The Moon card represents, illusion, dreams, vagueness, instability, deception, anxiety, fear, misconception, subconscious,and insecurity <ref>https://www.thetarotguide.com/the-moon/</ref>

Puella Magi Madoka Magica the Movie -Walpurgisnacht: Rising-

2024-09-19T02:37:57Z

Momoko: /* 2nd Trailer */

[[File:WalpugisnachtRising.png|400px|right]]
<blockquote>''{{Q|And so, let the curtain rise on tonight’s dream.}}'' - [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TGxyrO-27dQ September 10th 2023 Trailer].</blockquote>
{{Nihongo|'''''Puella Magi Madoka Magica: Walpurgisnacht Rising'''''|劇場版魔法少女まどか☆マギカ〈ワルプルギスの廻天〉|Gekijouban Mahou Shoujo Madoka Magica Walpurgis no Kaiten}} is an upcoming movie and a sequel to ''[[Puella Magi Madoka Magica the Movie: Rebellion]]''. The project was officially announced on April 25th, 2021 during the ''[[Madoka 10th Anniversary]]'' event. More information was revealed during the ''Aniplex Online Fest 2023'' on September 10th, 2023, which included a new trailer and an approximated release date of Winter 2024. On August 16th, 2024, it was announced that the movie had been delayed to Winter 2025.

==Development==
''Walpurgisnacht Rising'' was first announced during the Anniversary Stage as part of the ''[[Madoka 10th Anniversary]]'' event. The first teaser shown the return of the main staff; [[Akiyuki Shinbo]] as Chief Director, [[Gen Urobuchi]] as a scriptwriter, [[Aoki Ume]] as an original character designer, [[Shaft]] as an animation production, [[Junichiro Taniguchi]] as a character designer, [[Gekidan Inu Curry]] as a designer of the parallel world, and music by [[Yuki Kajiura]]. After the announcement, [[Gen Urobuchi]] revealed that the script for the movie was finished sometime between 2014 and 2016.<ref>[https://twitter.com/Butch_Gen/status/1386278371189936129 @Butch_Gen's Tweet]: The scenario for Walpurgisnacht Rising was done right after I finished ''Kamen Rider Gaim'' and before I started ''Thunderbolt Fantasy''. Looking back, that was the last script when I could still write a line for cute girls. I'm glad for it to finally see the light of day! ワルプルギスの廻天、脚本は鎧武を終えた直後、東離劍遊紀にとりかかる直前に脱稿してたので、思えばまだ私が自力で可愛い女の子の台詞を書けていた頃の最後の本になります。ついに日の目を見る時が来て嬉しいです！</ref>

The second trailer was revealed as an ending to the ''Aniplex Online Fest 2023'' and featured the first animation reveal along with a new key visual and the Winter 2024 release date. The trailer also revealed that [[Yukihiro Miyamoto]] will return as a director, resuming his position from ''Rebellion''.

Talk:Key Animation Note

2023-04-28T02:47:37Z

Momoko: /* C81 Special Talk CD */

I assume because of those mistakes and their will to fix them it will make them rare items. I just hope someone isnt doing it on purpose --[[User:Mutopis|Mutopis]] 13:36, 30 December 2011 (UTC)

The key animation note book itself does the same MADOK*MAGICA thing as the ad (main logo Homura side, and under the top left seal Madoka side). At first I wondered if the star was supposed to be the a, but there's an actual star in the series name, so that wouldn't work. Are there any clear photos of the small text and that infamous bar code on the Homura side? [[User:KM|KM]] 12:34, 31 December 2011 (UTC)

[[File:PN_81.jpg|100px|left]] Now that I double checked, there was MADOK*MAGICA stuff from Charlotte's barrier that was actually in roman letters, not in runes, so maybe the star is supposed to be the a after all. Or maybe they're just crazy. [[User:KM|KM]] 02:22, 3 January 2012 (UTC)

:I'm unsure of the deal with the star, however Shaft recognized there was an error on the rune for the cover, which presumably was an error by Inu Curry, since they designed the cover. So who knows. To be perfectly fair, Inu Curry seem to like to consciously indulge in some Engrish for fun. Like here - [[:Media:Production_notes4.jpg|their PN postcard]]. Notice Madoka, reference, etc. are all purposely misspelled childishly. Even their own name, INUKARRY is crossed out and corrected to INUCURRY. Obviously all done intentionally. --[[User:Randomanon|randomanon]] 02:58, 3 January 2012 (UTC)
