Nightmare

2014-05-21T04:08:25Z

Starkiller: Added missing "m" in Homura

'''Nightmares''' are new type of monster introduced in ''[[The Rebellion Story]]''. They resemble dolls with a pair of disembodied blue hands, and primarily attack by shooting exploding objects.

{{spoilers}}

{{spoiler|It is later revealed in the movie that the Nightmares are actually false opponents created by the witch barrier ''Rebellion'' takes place in.}}

== Appearances ==
At the moment, Nightmares exclusively appear ''The Rebellion Story''.

Two Nightmares appear in the movie. The first appears at the very beginning and is initially attacked by [[Madoka Kaname]], [[Sayaka Miki]], and [[Kyoko Sakura]]. The Nightmare is driven into a dining room where [[Mami Tomoe]] and [[Bebe]] are waiting. The magical girls then appear to defeat the Nightmare by feeding food to it. It's later revealed that [[Homura Akemi]] had assisted the magical girls in secret.

The second Nightmare is born from [[Hitomi Shizuki]], when she feels frustration over her relationship with [[Kyousuke_Kamijou|her boyfriend]]. Hitomi is seemingly swallowed up by her bed as the Nightmare appears. The magical girls contain the Nightmare and then defeat it by singing the [[Cake Song]]. At the end of the song, the Nightmare turns into a cake which Bebe swallows whole. Bebe then spits out a blob resembling Hitomi's head and a paper with a picture of a violin on it. Sayaka catches both things, and then throws the paper into the air. The paper turns into a silhouette of Hitomi's boyfriend. The blob flies up after the silhouette and vanishes into sparkles that purify the magical girls' [[Soul Gem]]s. Hitomi then reappears in her bedroom.

It is eventually revealed that the characters are actually in Homura's witch barrier. The Nightmares were created by the Homura's subconscious so the magical girls would have enemies to fight.

Later in the movie, a Nightmare doll is seen briefly as [[Kyubey]] explains Homura's circumstances. Another appears briefly when Homura transforms into [[Homulilly]].

== Trivia and Observations ==
* The disembodied hands of the Nightmares hint at the fact that they're puppets created by a witch. Furthermore, one of the hands has a covering over it's middle finger, which is the same finger a magical girl wears her ring on.
*A '''mare''' or [[:wikipedia:Mare_(folklore)|'''nightmare''']] (Proto-Germanic: ''*marōn''; Old English: ''mære''; Old Norse: ''mara''; German: ''Nachtmahr'') is an evil spirit or goblin in Germanic folklore which rides on people's chests while they sleep, bringing on bad dreams (or "nightmares"). The mare is often similar to the mythical creatures [[:wikipedia:Succubus|succubus]] and [[:wikipedia:Incubus_(demon)|incubus]], and was likely inspired by sleep paralysis.
**The mare was also believed to "ride" horses, which left them exhausted and covered in sweat by the morning. She could also entangle the hair of the sleeping man or beast, resulting in ''"marelocks"'', called ''marflätor'' "mare-braids" or ''martovor'' "mare-tangles" in Swedish or ''marefletter'' and ''marelokker'' in Norwegian.
**Hungarian folklorist [[:wikipedia:Éva_Pócs|Éva Pócs]] traces the core term back to the Greek word μόρος ''moros'', "death".
**According to [[:wikipedia:Paul_Devereux|Paul Devereux]], mares included witches who took on the form of animals when their spirits went out while they were in trance. Animals such as frogs, cats, horses, hares, dogs, oxen, birds and often bees and wasps.
**It is interesting to note that ''mara'', besides being a root-word for nightmare, is also the name of a [[wikipedia:Mara_(demon)|Buddhist deity analogous to the devil]]. Although this may be a coincidence, Homura does ascend to become a Mara-like figure at the end of ''Rebellion''.

==Germany==
German Folklorist [[:wikipedia:Franz_Felix_Adalbert_Kuhn|Franz Felix Adalbert Kuhn]] records a [[:wikipedia:Westphalia|Westphalia]]n charm or prayer used to ward off mares, from Wilhelmsburg near [[:wikipedia:Paderborn|Paderborn]]:

<blockquote>
{|
|
: Hier leg' ich mich schlafen,
: Keine Nachtmahr soll mich plagen,
: Bis sie schwemmen alle Wasser,
: Die auf Erden fließen,
: Und tellet alle Sterne,
: Die am Firmament erscheinen!
: [Dazu helfe mir Gott Vater, Sohn und heiliger Geist. Amen!]
|
: Here I am lying down to sleep;
: No night-mare shall plague me
: until they have swum through all the waters
: that flow upon the earth,
: and counted all stars
: that appear in the skies.
: [Thus help me God Father, Son, and Holy Ghost. Amen!]
|
|}
</blockquote>

"No one understands this sadness I feel."

** QB's shape has been modified a little. There is a scene (flashback?) shows all 5 magical girls in their back.
*** In that picture, Homura is in her previous hairstyle with 2 pigtails. And Kyoko is in school uniform. But it might also be possible that the girl is not Kyoko.
** It might imply that magical girls in the new world is still in sadness and sorrow.
** Homura's shield is back. But it may also be possible that she is in previous world then.

Translation:[http://walpurgischan.net/meduka/res/3507.html]

Homura (narration): "There are those who wish for hope, take on a curse, and continue fighting." [The Magical Girls'…]

Homura (narration): "They are Magical Girls." […cruel fates…]

Homura (narration): "We will continue the fight." […do not end]

[A newly completed production]

Mami: "Do you think you can beat someone on the same level as me?"

Homura: "If this is all you've got, then I won't lose!"

Sayaka: "Do you intend to escape into your time [stop] again?"

Kyouko: "Is this some kind of illusion or something?"*

[In a world without Madoka, did something happen to the girls?]

Homura: "Using such a roundabout way out… What in the world is your intention?"

Homura: "Why… tell me… do I…"

Kyouko: "You… no way…!"**

Sayaka: "All of us who are reaching our limits… Even I want to sympathize."

Mami: "Someday, the 'law of cycles' that leads us will…"***

Homura: "I was supposed to be the only one who remembers…"****

[Dreams, reality, past, future, hope, despair]

Kyuubey: "Even though you don't want to know the truth, you can't help but chase after it. This thing called "human curiosity" is quite irrational, isn't it."

Madoka: "You mustn't [let yourself] be left alone, Homura-chan."
[The story heads toward a new conclusion]

Translation notes and speculation, based on wording:

[*] "koitsu" is referring to either a thing or a person/monster/something living"—I'm going to guess it's a Nightmare/Witch, as that's when the most bizarre, reality-shifting stuff happens in the series/movie, to my knowledge.

[**] The line could be translated as "You couldn't have…!" or "You couldn't be…!," but it's vague enough that we can't exactly figure out if she's surprised about the other person/thing's identity or something they did/will do.

[***] The "law of cycles" is what Mami called the new laws of the universe that dictate that Magical Girls disappear when they use up all their magic at the end of the TV show. There's no indication in this wording that she knows of Madoka's existence yet.

[****] "I was supposed to be…" ← interesting wording, if you ask me. She's very obviously hinting that she is no longer the only one who remembers, so either the other girls are starting to remember or a new character appeared who remembered, or something of the sort.

:Summary
* For his scenario, Urobuchi got help from Kyubey to let Madoka forget her identity in Homulilly's barrier.
* He formed everyone's characteristic except Homura when watching Hidamari Sketch.
* He thinks Homura have throw her confusion away in the movie. By doing this, she grows up like a heroine.
* He also has stronger impression on Homura in the movie than what he imagined earier. Although Homura calls herself a demon, she has conflict.
* He also says it bad to teach children there's no darkness.
* In a letter, the writer asks if Sayaka might be the protagonist. Urobuchi answers that since Sayaka got a special position in the movie, it is possible for her being a solitary heroine in the future. She might be the only one who can match Homura.

::from 4chan, not really related to the movies, unless you are into economics:

The basic premise is that the author recently read a book about Japan sub-consciously never being able to accept defeat after the war. That they latched onto economic growth instead, however this has put them in a cyclic state of rapid growth and collapse.

The likenesses with Madoka (he watched the first 2 movies, not Rebellion) are then:

- Magical girls/The people realize the system is rotten, but not really why. Yet they must continue to fight/work to protect those dear to them/their livelihood.

- Meanwhile someone from the outside (Kyuubey/foreign countries) profits from all this.

- Homura's timeloops are compared to the boom-bust cycle of economics, this leads to Homura finding about exactly what's wrong with the system.

- Like the gathered karma from the loops, this knowledge is then the catalyst for something happening that can break this loop and greatly improve the world for magical girls/the people.

He states that the book I mentioned earlier as the likely catalyst that will let the Japanese break away from this cycle, but that it will also likely take some time for their Madoka to appear. --[[User:Mutopis|Mutopis]] 03:18, 26 December 2013 (UTC)

== Any name for the song used towards the beginning? ==

Trying to find the song used in the battle against the first Nightmare, when it is eating. The song is used again throughout the movie as BGM, more prominently during the battle against Homulilly. Can't seem to find it anywhere though. Anybody know where I could find it, or even what the name is? [[Special:Contributions/173.61.73.24|173.61.73.24]] 08:13, 29 December 2013 (UTC)

==Aniplex+ bonus==

http://www.madoka-magica.com/blu-ray_dvd/tokuten.html

Looks like Aniplex+ bonus this time around is a box to put both movie sets in and a clear file.

It's mostly clear files, posters, and tapestry. Though tapestry featuring Godoka and Homucifer is a bit tempting.

TBS is offering pocket watch like last time. Joshin is offering hand towel, Animega and co. offering badge set.

Amiami offering crystal paperweight featuring Madoka.

IC card case and book card are offered as well, but they're kind of pointless outside of Japan.

Animate is offering the tapestry mentioned above. They may have more things as a separate bundle on their website like the first two movie set.

Preordering on Aniplex+ is now available. Their clear file has original art by Inu Curry.

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

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

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

Puella Magi Madoka Magica Movie: Rebellion will come to Auckland, New Zealand on Feburary 1st, 2014 at Academy Cinema. [http://www.academycinemas.co.nz/ComingSoon.aspx?ID=129 Tickets are now available.]

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

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

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

'''Homura'''

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

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

'''Mami'''

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

'''Kyouko'''

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

'''Sayaka'''

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

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

The music for the anime series was composed and arranged by [[wikipedia:Yuki Kajiura|Yuki Kajiura]], who also produced the ending theme of series: [[Magia]].

==OST Volume 1==
Mahou Shoujo Madoka Magica Original Soundtrack: Volume One was released bundled with the second DVD and BD volume of the anime. It was originally scheduled for release on April 27th, 2011, but was postponed to May 25th, 2011 due to the [[wikipedia:2011 Tōhoku earthquake and tsunami|2011 Tōhoku earthquake and tsunami]].

The first volume contains thirteen tracks, including several important background sounds used during key points of the series, but does not include the opening or ending themes of the series. All the tracks are titled in Latin.

'''Homura Akemi''' is the deuteragonist of [[Madoka Magica]]. She is first seen by Madoka in a dream of her fighting a monster in a desolate landscape of skyscrapers. The day after the dream, Homura has transferred to Madoka's school where she gives her ominous warnings.
==General Info==
<blockquote>''"With kindness comes naïveté. Courage becomes foolhardiness. And dedication has no reward. If you can't accept any of that, you are not fit to be a Puella Magi."'' - Homura Akemi, [[Episode 5]].</blockquote>

[[File:Guidebook ep 11 hommando scene.jpg|right|thumb|275px|I bet [[Gen Urobuchi|Urobuchi]] had something to do with this.]]

* A smart, graceful, athletically-talented girl. Cool if not chilly, her personality even can even be seen in her posture. Her primary ability is to stop time, all her other abilities and attacks seem to come from non-magical items, [[Weapons|such as firearms and bombs]]. Her time manipulation device can also allow her to travel back in time, act as a shield, and seems to act as a limitless storage facility.
* She seems to be a magical girl, but there are a lot of mysteries surrounding the way she acts. Her fighting style is also unidentified.
* [[Ume Aoki|Ms. Aoki]]’s Design Check: A blunt girl. I tried to let this shine through in her design. Her distinguishing point is her silky long hair.
* Magical girl outfit: Homura was designed with her personality and combat style in mind. I found her fascinating right away. (Aoki)
* The sharp lines of her upper back and jacket evoke her personality. Overall rather monochromatic. Her black tights have a diamond pattern.
* School uniform: She wears black tights in uniform too, leaving her overall feel just like in her magical girl outfit. She gives off the air of a silent beauty.
*Homura's height range, according to the [[Puella_Magi_Production_Note|Production Note]], is [[:Media:PN 10.jpg|155-158cm]] (5'1"-5'2"). Her birthday, blood type and other biographical information is unknown at this time.
* According to the Blu-ray episode 2 voice commentary, Ume Aoki found Homura to be the most difficult to come up with an image color but one of the easier ones for character design.
* Regardless of her reasons, Homura'a priority is preventing Madoka from becoming a Mahou Shoujo. Since that is not understandable by other Mahou Shoujos or Madoka, she decided to act alone.
* Homura is a magical girl from another timeline, as revealed by Kyubey. She knows that Kyubey is behind a sinister plot, and it mostly involves Madoka turning into a magical girl.
* Homura's special ability is revealed to be some kind of time-travel, which explains why she knows so much to the point of knowing exactly when and where certain things will happen. This also may be why she can move at blistering speed.
* Her [[Homura_Residence|house]] has a wall display of documents relating to witches.
* In episode 9, it was revealed that Homura can stop time. However, anyone she touches while the ability is under effect will not be stopped.
**According to an interview in Otona Anime Vol. 20, translated by symbv, here is what Gen Urobuchi said on more of Homura's power: "The weapon that looks like Homura's shield is actually a sand timer. When the flow of the sand is blocked, time is stopped. And when there is no sand on the upper part of the sand timer and then the timer is reverted, one month's worth of time is turned back. But before that stage is reached, only time stopping is possible. This means the special power of Homura is the ability to manipulate one month's time's worth of sand in the sand timer. As for the time passed and then turned back, since it was not the focus in this work I did not think it through very thoroughly. I think you can say that the world split up and became parallel worlds there." In episode 11, we see Homura's sand run out in the middle of her fight with Walpurgisnacht, verifying this limitation of her time stop powers.
* Homura's backstory was revealed in episode 10. She was a transfer student who was recovering from heart disease. Probably due to her lack of confidence, she was targeted by familiars. However, Madoka (who was a Puella Magi at this time) and Mami save her. During Walpurgis Night, Madoka and Mami die. Homura then makes the wish to re-do her meeting with Madoka to prevent her fate.
* Along with stopping time, Homura can also reverse time to before her meeting with Madoka.
* Homura, while initially ditzy and insecure, has become very independent and strong during her time traveling. Her cold nature is from her determination to save Madoka after having failed in her mission to prevent Madoka from becoming a magical girl several times.
* A previous Madoka was the one to task Homura to prevent Madoka from becoming a Puella Magi.
* In the current timeline, Homura fails to stop Walpurgis Night. However, since Homura somewhat confessed to Madoka to the time traveling, Madoka creates a new wish to make sure that Homura's efforts weren't in vain.
* Homura is the only one that remembers Madoka in the newest timeline. Also, she gains a bow and magical wings. Whether her time-stopping ability remains is unknown.
* In the ending, Homura faces off with many demons in a desert. Her wings extend and reflects the universe, full of stars.
* Homura uses her magic to heal her heart condition
* Homura is the strongest of the magical girls as long as [[Nitro+ Q&A Panels at Animagic 2013|no one discovers the nature of her power.]]
*At a [[Nitro+ Q&A Panels at Animagic 2013|Nitro+ Q&A Panel]] it was revealed that Homura went through almost 100 timelines. Q: How many timelines did Homura go through? A: Approaching 100.
*Color Theme: Purple.
*Soul Gem shape: Diamond.
*Not to let Kyubey discover her ability, Homura never tell others about her wish. This might also be a reason why other magical girls don't believe her completely.

==Personality==
Since her arrival at Mitakihara Middle School, she is immediately depicted as being very intelligent, athletic, distant, and cold. It is revealed in [[episode 4]] that she is only like this because she has seen so much suffering during her tenure as a magical girl. Because of this, she does not want Madoka to become a magical girl and tries to do anything in order to stop her from making a wish with [[Kyubey]], going as far as to attempting to injure the cat-like creature. Despite her cold attitude towards others, she still very much cares for Madoka as it is her sole objective to protect her due to the countless amount blood, sweat, and tears she has shed over her jumps in time.

In the original timeline where her journey began, however, Homura is portrayed as meek, shy, timid, and is known around the school for her lack of confidence. She was also known for her physical incapability of performing in P.E. class; she would get dizzy upon doing even the simplest of warm-up exercises. This had the unfortunate result of her being a target of bullying, as heard on [[Drama CD 1]]. Overwhelmed by her perceived uselessness, she begins questioning her existence and until she begins her fated friendship with Madoka, her feelings do not change. Madoka, alongside [[Mami Tomoe]], shows her the ropes and dangers of becoming a magical girl and notes that Madoka's own attitude became much healthier with every witch battle. In an ironic twist, in the anime timeline we see how frail and meek Madoka is, compared to the current Homura whose personality had performed a complete 180-degree turn due to her experiences in multiple timelines.

Despite being regarded as emotionless by [[Sayaka Miki]], Homura is far from it. Although she does not easily show signs of remorse, sadness, or pity, it is only because she had grown used to the suffering around her. Homura herself has stated that she always feels badly with each life she unable to save or alter, but nevertheless, it does not slow her down from staying true to her main objective in saving Madoka.

==History==
===Background===
Prior to the events of the TV anime, Homura was hospitalized for a long period of time due to heart disease. The whereabouts and status of her family is unknown, as they are never mentioned in the series. In the original timeline, Homura at this point is physically frail and weak most likely due to her illness.

===Homura in the Anime and Drama CDs===
[[File:Timeline Chart.png|thumb|200px|The sequences of events in each timeline.]]
====The Original Universe with Witches (Events of the TV Anime and Films: Beginnings and Eternal)====
Homura's time-loop officially starts on the 14th of the month in the anime ([[Timeline|speculated to be sometime between March and April]]). She was released from the hospital on the 14th, and transferred to Mitakihara Middle School on the 25th. In the original timeline, she is attacked by a witch and saved by Madoka and Mami. Sometime during the next month, during [[Walpurgisnatch]], she becomes a magical girl while wishing to redo her meeting with Madoka, thus gaining the power to pause and/or rewind time one month.

It is estimated Homura repeated the same month starting on the 14th nearly 100 times before the present timeline in the TV anime. Within these timelines, Homura was able to gradually improve her abilities and acquire items (such as ammunition and weapons from the Japanese military) to prepare for the battle with Walpurgisnatch. She was also able to memorize and deduce through statistics the major events that would occur within all timelines, giving her incredible knowledge about most of her adversaries. The corollary, however, was that Homura experienced the deaths of many of her friends repeatedly, often horrifically. As a general trend, Homura became increasingly distant to Madoka with each repeat of the month.

By the timeline of the TV anime, Homura appeared as a cold and calculating character who is distant from all the characters. She failed to save all of her companions (apart from Madoka), and by Walpurgisnatch, was forced to face the witch alone. She was subsequently defeated by Walpurgisnatch, and seemed just about to succumb to despair before Madoka appears and rewrites the Universe with her wish.

====The New Universe created by Madoka (Epilogue of TV Anime and the Film: Rebellion)====
After Madoka's revision of the universe, Homura is the only known character to retain her memories of the previous universe. She has possession of Madoka's ribbon, and has a new black bow as her weapon similar to Madoka's weapon. It is unknown if she retained her abilities to manipulate time and space. Homura is shown to have a much closer relationship with Kyuubey, so much so she even confides an entire account about how the old universe worked.

<blockquote>''"Without a doubt, this place is a witch's barrier."''</blockquote>
In events prior to ''[[The Rebellion Story]]'' Homura was captured by the [[Kyuubey|Incubators]], and her Soul Gem was placed in an Isolation Field that blocked out the Law of Cycles. This strain led Homura to transform partially into a witch without her knowledge. In this form, she also unconsciously created a labyrinth that was a near-perfect replica of Mitakihara City, and unconsciously lured her former acquaintances into it. She even drew in Madoka from the Law of Cycles, who entered the barrier along with Sayaka and [[Nagisa Momoe]]. In this dream world, Homura unconsciously distorted almost everyone's memories (including her own) so that they believed they were living in the real world fighting new enemies called [[Nightmare]]s. In order to stop the Incubators from fulfilling their goal, Madoka entrusted her memories and powers to Sayaka and Nagisa. Sayaka only pretended to have her memories altered, while Nagisa disguised herself as [[Charlotte]]/[[Bebe]].

Eventually Homura realizes that she's trapped in a witch's barrier and attempts to discover who is behind it. Near the end of her journey she has a conversation with Madoka that causes her to realize that she can't accept Madoka's sacrifice. At this point she begins to realize she is the witch, and confirms it when she separates herself from her Soul Gem without consequence.

At this point Kyubey appears and explains the truth about Homura's present nature and the Incubators' plan to control the Law of Cycles. This causes Homura to go berserk and curse her existence, completing her transformation into a witch known as [[Homulilly]]. Madoka and the other magical girls manage to rescue Homura by destroying the stasis field containing them all, returning them to reality. Due to the Isolation Field, Homura only became a witch inside her own Soul Gem, allowing Madoka to save her.

Ultimate Madoka arrives to take Homura away as per the Law of the Cycle. However, Homura grabs Madoka first. Her Soul Gem turns black, then fills with swirling colors that Nagisa calls worse than curses. Reality begins to crack as Homura separates Madoka from her goddess self. The colors burst out of her Soul Gem, and both the cracks and colors engulf the entire universe.

Homura and Kyubey reappear in the same place where Madoka ascended in [[Episode 12]]. Homura shatters her Soul Gem in her mouth, and a new gem appears called the Dark Orb. Kyubey exclaims that Homura is rewriting the universe, and asks what happened to her Soul Gem. Homura explains that she remembered all of the times she repeated time, and all of the pain she suffered for Madoka's sake. She says that even this pain has become precious to her, tainting her Soul Gem with something greater than curses. As she swallows the Dark Orb, she calls it the pinnacle of human emotions: Love.

Homura transforms into a new form and grows a pair of black wings. Kyubey says that Homura is no longer a magical girl or a witch, and asks what Homura is now. Homura that since she brought down and imprisoned god, it's only appropriate to call her a demon (''akuma''). Kyubey decides that it was a mistake to experiment with human emotions and flees, but Homura grabs him and says she still needs his existence to deal with all the curses of the world.

<blockquote>''"As I am now, I'm not a witch anymore. Something that could bring down a god and imprison her...I suppose you could only call such a being a demon."''</blockquote>
Homura effectively becomes a goddess of this new universe. Apart from her true nature as a demon, she still exists with a human form in the real world and can interact normally with everyone else. She appears to have the power to manipulate the memories of virtually anyone she pleases, but otherwise the full extent of her abilities are unknown. It is assumed that Homura is a deity that primarily embodies love (whereas Madoka embodies hope).

Homura is presently holding a fraction of the Goddess Madoka captive--specifically, the part that was Madoka Kaname before she became the Law of Cycles. It is also implied she is placing the world's curses onto Kyubey. Despite proclaiming herself as a demon, Madoka, Sayaka, Kyoko, Mami, and Nagisa are all given happy lives in her new world.

===Homura in Oriko Magica===
<blockquote>''"Madoka...don't ever tell me not to save you. I'm not all-powerful. I am not able to save everyone. But...even so, I want to save you. So, don't say that anymore!"'' - Homura, [[Oriko_Magica#Chapter_5:_That.27s_what_I.27m_here_for|Puella Magi Oriko Magica, Chapter 5]].</blockquote>
*Homura first appears in Chapter 3. When [[Mami]] warns her about the magical girl murders, [[Homura]] seems not to care, but warns Mami not to get close to her, Madoka, [[Hitomi]] and [[Sayaka]].
*In chapter 4, she appears for one page with her friends, going out for sweets. She defers to Madoka's taste and doesn't care where they go. She protected Madoka well to this point, keeping the knowledge of magical girls far away from her and Sayaka.
*In chapters 5-7, as Mitakihara Junior High is covered with a witch's barrier, Homura does her best to protect Madoka from the familiars. After Madoka told her not to sacrifice others to protect her, however, Homura decided to find [[Oriko]] and [[Kirika]] and defeat them. Oriko reveals that {{spoiler|she knows about the end of the world caused by Kriemheld Gretchen, Madoka's witch form, and that she plans to kill Madoka before she can contract and cause that to happen.}} Homura fights together with Mami, [[Kyoko]] and [[Yuma]], coming close to losing when two of the other three fall into despair after {{spoiler|seeing Kirika become a witch. They manage to pull themselves together and defeat her, and Homura kills Oriko. But since Oriko also killed Madoka by using the last of her power to shoot a piece of Kirika's witch body through Madoka's torso, Homura can do nothing but reset the timeline.}}

===Homura in [[Puella Magi Madoka Magica: The Different Story|The Different Story]]===

* Homura acts just as she did in the anime.
* Homura tries to cooperate with all magical girls to fight Walpurgis. But she still fails because all other magical girls don't believe her.
** When Sayaka becomes Oktavia, she warns Kyoko not to visit Mami or she may die. Kyoko refuses and set a barrier to stop her from following.
** She brings unconscious Mami home, and then seeks her help.
** She lies to Madoka, saying Sayaka is killed by witches. She doesn't want Madoka to know about the cold truth.
** When Madoka contracts, she doesn't reset time immediately. She tries to convince Madoka to run away, but Madoka refuses. She resets time after the other two go to fight Walpurgis.

*If certain conditions are met, the Homura route will be available for playing.
*Homura can save Mami from Charlotte.
**By telling Mami she will leave Charlotte to her, Homura can avoid being tied up in ribbons. Homura can then secretly follow and save Mami in time.
***Mami apologizes to Homura for misjudging her and forms a bond with Homura.
***With Mami alive, there is a scene where she fights against Kyoko.
*Homura can save Sayaka, by choosing Kyoko to talk to Sayaka and prevent her from becoming a witch.
**Sayaka will join the group in fighting against Walpurgis.
*Kyouko will team up with Homura in most cases.
*If Homura successfully avoids Mami's death and none of the magical girls become witches, then it is possible for Homura to challenge Walpurgis with four magical girls without having Madoka contracting with Kyubey.

==Trivia==
[[File:Homerun The Movie.jpg|thumb|right|200px|And so a legend was born]]
*Homura's shield is able to store a countless amount of weapons, as demonstrated by the many pistols, light machineguns, shotguns, rocket launchers, and boxes of ammunition packed inside it. Note that her shield is relatively small and she is able to wear it around her wrist, much like a watch. As such, her shield seems to have been inspired from [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Time_Lord Time Lord] technology. Evidence to support this is fairly obvious - her own magical power is based off of time manipulation, so a relation is very likely.
*Homura is frequently referred to as "Homerun-chan" amongst Western fans, due to the similarity of the two names in Japanese, however she is frequently referred as "Homuhomu" (ほむほむ) within Japanese community. Homuhomu likely originated from the [[Runes:Episode_3|runes in Episode 3]], one of which translates to "Homuhomu".
** "Homuhomu" can be used as a verb as "do Homuhomu" (ほむほむする) which means to caress, console or take care of. The action of "do Homuhomu" is not defined exactly.
** Originally started by the fan community it has been embraced and adopted by the industry to become [[Puella_Magi_Madoka_Magica_Portable#Interview_with_the_PSP_Game_producers|part of the official language and usage.]]
** Sometimes also jokingly refered to as "Homurika" due to shared similarity of circumstances (having to go through many timelines to prevent a tragedy) with Rika Furude (Higurashi No Naku Koro Ni).
*The first character for Akemi (暁) means "daybreak", while the second one (美) means beauty which is a famous letter in girl's name.
*When her full name is written vertically in hiragana (あけみほむら) and covering the left half at a certain angle, it could be read as カナメまどか which is Kaname written in katakana and Madoka written in hiragana.
*Her last name can also be used as a first name.
*In an early production sketch, her surname was given as (暁海) "daybreak sea" instead of (暁美). Both are read as Akemi.
*Her first name is written in hiragana, which has no special meaning. However, when written in kanji, it can mean:
**flame, blaze (炎 or 焔)
**heart on fire (心火)
**mass of flame (炎叢)
**village protector (保村)

*Though only 焔, 炎, and 心火 are actually Japanese given names. The name 'Homura' can also be written the following ways as a given name:
**stride approaching happiness (歩向楽)
**head/point of the large village (穂邑)
(*Fun fact: The name "炎子" or Homurako can also be read as "Moeko") 
*The official [[Licensing in Taiwan|Chinese translation]] uses (焔) "flame, blaze" as the kanji for her first name. However, no official kanji of her name exists in the original Japanese version.
[[File:Homura missing weapons.jpg|thumb|right|150px|Is this [[File talk:Homura's weapons 2.jpg|real life?]]]]
*Some folks in 2ch nicknamed [[Homura Residence|Homura's Residence]] {{nihongo|Homu-home|ほむホーム|Homuhōmu}} since Homu is a nickname for Homura, and Hōmu is "home" rendered in the Japanese syllabary. It should be noted that "homu" is more often used for dog houses and similar structures, with the English word "home" expressed using "uchi" (うち, which refers to one's own house or household), "ie" (いえ, which can refer to a physical house or a family lineage), or the honorific "otaku" (お宅, which refers to someone else's house or household).
*The Homura of previous timelines is, due to her personality and actions, often referred to as "Moemura" amongst Western fans.
*Apparently there is a [http://extrovertedotaku.blogspot.com/2011/04/akemi-homuras-weapon-gallery.html rumor on the net] that some weapons went "missing" at the [[wikipedia:Japan_Self-Defense_Forces|JSDF]] and [[wikipedia:United_States_Forces_Japan|US military bases in Japan]]. There is only one [http://ja.wikipedia.org/wiki/%E7%8E%96%E7%8F%A0%E9%A7%90%E5%B1%AF%E5%9C%B0%E6%AD%A6%E5%99%A8%E4%BA%A1%E5%A4%B1%E4%BA%8B%E4%BB%B6 official report] regarding the missing/stolen weapons. It is not known if the rumors of the <s>stolen</s> missing weapons inspired their appearance in the series. Nor is there any evidence indicating that the perpetrator was a time traveling magical girl.
*One fan estimates that Homura used ¥ 1,383,040,300 Yen worth of military weaponry & equipment (that's $17,037,114 USD in today's dollars).[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oE4b5yPG5qg&feature=player_embedded]
*Homura's appearance in episode 12 (in the new timeline) from the manga is different than her appearance from the anime. In the anime, her clothes and hairstyle remain the same, with Madoka's ribbon as her accessories. However, in the manga, she wears a new dress, changes her hairstyle to two pigtails with the ribbons Madoka gave her.
*In Audio commentary for [[Episode 4]], Urobuchi liked Chiwa Saitou for the role because she had a "Dark Beauty" feeling.
**In the Audio commentary for [[Episode 7]], Chiwa Saitou explains she tried the role of Kyubey and Kyousuke first, until Gen Urobuchi convinced her to try the role of Homura.
***Chiwa Saito explains that she found the character of Homura to be strong but also to be a weak/delicate girl. Aoi Yuuki adds that the Homura character had no other choice but to become strong.
****Ryouko Shintani states that would be true for a character that has something or someone important to protect.
*Some [[:Media:Image Note 0061.jpg|pages]] from the [[Puella Magi Production Note]] refer to Homura's attack on Walpurgisnacht as "Pytha-homu Switch", a reference to the [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=K2C-PWHpPoI complicated Rube Goldberg machines] featured on the Japanese children's show "Pythagorean Switch".
*In the [[Puella Magi Madoka Magica Official Guidebook "You Are Not Alone"]] Hanokage jokingly describes Homura as "Hommando" in her After-Recording Report comic, because of the excessive vast arsenal of weaponry she unleashes in [[Episode 11]]. Apparently the smörgåsbord of weaponry was added later, they were not originally depicted in the early stages of the screenplay.
*Chiwa Saito (Homura) states that the crying scene in [[Episode 8]] left her with a large impression. She feels like they captured the feelings of a girl perfectly, specially the part where Homura collapses, showing her weak side as a girl.
*In the audio commentary for [[Episode 11]], Chiwa Saito (Homura) found the confession scene to be touching and emotional, and left her with a huge impression. She confesses that she cried.
** Aoi Yuuki (Madoka) found the scene to be amazing and filled her with emotions. Aoi Yuuki felt that her and Madoka became synchronized during the emotional scene. Aoi Yuuki believes that, surely Madoka would have accepted Homura's feelings.
*In [http://megamitensei.wikia.com/wiki/Persona_4_Arena Persona 4 Arena], [http://megamitensei.wikia.com/wiki/Yukiko_Amagi Yukiko Amagi] has a palette swap for Homura.

==Observations==
[[File:Moemura doing math.jpg|thumb|right|200px|Episode 10 gave us Moemura]]

<blockquote> ''"Kaname Madoka, do you value your life? Do you think that your family and friends are important to you?" "If they are, then you should never think of changing yourself. Otherwise, you will lose everything that is precious to you."'' - Homura Akemi, [[Episode 1]].</blockquote>

*She wants to stop [[Madoka Kaname|Madoka]] from making a contract with [[Kyubey]]
*She has much knowledge about [[Mitakihara Middle School]].
*Is visibly upset when Madoka uses her last name or honorifics instead of the more intimate "Homura".
*She was openly pursuing [[Kyubey]] until Kyubey made contact with Madoka.
*She appears obsessed with Madoka's happiness and/or survival.
*As of [[Episode 10]], it is shown that Homura used to be a very shy and clumsy girl before she became a Puella Magi. Homura met Madoka and Mami when they were saving Homura from a witch, thus the three became friends. At the very end of that timeline, Madoka is killed and Homura asks Kyubey to turn her into a Puella Magi with her wish being "to meet Madoka again, but this time as the one protecting her, not as the one being protected".
*She appears to live by herself; her [[Homura Residence|residence]] only has her name on the nameplate, much like [[Mami]]'s. In episode 10, when she wakes up in the hospital, no-one is there with her, and she seems to have been filling out the school transfer forms on her own.
*She seem to have met [[Kyubey]] before, as she refers to him as "Incubator" in [[Episode 8]] shortly after he was shot down by her. She also reveals to "know his true motives".
*Her cold attitude was formed through re-living the same timeline multiple times, with the ending always being that Madoka either turned into a witch or died. When that happens, Homura turns back time to the first day of her arrival again.
* When [[Mami]] asks Homura if she has any other power besides bending time in [[Episode 10]], Homura steals guns, swords etc. from a locker. She hides these weapons inside her shield.
* Homura calls everyone by their full name, giving the impression of being distant to people. This is most likely an attempt of her part to distance herself emotionally with everyone.
** In [[Episode 10]], Moemura goes from formal to first name basis with Madoka.
**In [[Episode 9]] when Kyoko sacrifices herself to save Sayaka, Homura calls her by her first name.
**The way she calls Sayaka varies on timelines. And she always refers to Mami as by her full name or Tomoe-san, probably because she is her senior.
* She wears glasses and braided hair in her early insecure depiction shown in [[Episode 10]]. Later in that episode with renewed determination she undoes her braids and uses her soul gem to correct her vision. From then on she no longer required the use of glasses.
* Homura finds a manual on how to make bombs from the internet. According with the [http://ja.wikipedia.org/wiki/%E8%85%B9%E8%85%B9%E6%99%82%E8%A8%88#.E5.89.B5.E4.BD.9C.E7.89.A9.E3.81.B8.E3.81.AE.E7.99.BB.E5.A0.B4 Japanese Wikipedia] the manual is titled {{Nihongo|'''Hara Hara Tokei'''|腹腹時計|[[wikipedia:Hara_Hara_Tokei|Hara Hara Tokei]]}}, published in March 1974 by a [[wikipedia:East_Asia_Anti-Japan_Armed_Front|far-left terrorist organization]].
**Incidentally, the manual explains with illustrations that ''“Anyone with a middle-school level knowledge of chemistry can do it”''.
*'''Character Development:''' Prior to the events of Episode 1 (or timeline), from the very beginning Homura considered herself to be useless, and worthless. She didnt think people would miss her if she were to die or disappear. But Madoka was probably the first person to see Homura differently, for the good person that she was and opened her eyes that changed her way thinking about herself. With each time line, we start to see a transformation not only in Homura but with Madoka as well, where there is a role reversal. It is now Madoka who believes she is powerless and worthless, someone who cant even do anything to save her friends, and it is Homura who believes that Madoka is too kind and reckless for trying to do to much for others.
*If Homura really did loop the same month nearly 100 times, she would technically be around 22 years old.

==Speculations==
{{Theory/Header|status=confirmed}}
*In the first two episodes, Homura appeared to be the antagonist. It was later explained that she only wanted to prevent Madoka becoming a magical girl. She saved Madoka and Sayaka multiple times and may become an ally and/or mentor of Madoka in the future.

*She might also wish to prevent Madoka becoming a magical girl because of the risk that she could turn into an overwhelmingly powerful witch.
**This has been proven right in [[Episode 10]].

*In [[Episode 5]], Homura saves Sayaka from Kyoko by suddenly manifesting as Kyoko's attack is about to land, somehow moving Sayaka out of the path of the attack. The ability seems to involve massive acceleration rather than teleportation (this because of her power being to turn back/stop time and thus being able to move quickly from one point to another by stopping time temporarily), as she is able to act in a [[:File:Homura_Move1.jpg|split second]]. As there are hints that a Puella Magi's powers may relate to her wish (e.g. Sayaka's regeneration), this may be a clue as to Homura's true motives. As of [[Episode 8]] it has been confirmed that Homura's ability has something to do with time.
**Theory proven right: her power is stopping time and wish is time-related.)
{{Theory/Footer}}

{{Theory/Header|status=debunked}}
[[File:Madoka magica homura bingo.jpg|right|thumb|150px|the speculah madness.]]
*Homura's wish was to protect Madoka, and since wishes always come true, it should make her immune from death and becoming a witch before saving Madoka. This makes her doomed to be locked in this cycle. In one timeline she was almost successful, but Madoka sacrificed herself for the sake of Homura and caused another restart.
**Theory proven wrong: Homura controls when and if she rewinds time, so long as one month as passed since the last reset.)

*Per the image in the gallery below, the pipe layout on the corridor wall is completely different after Homura uses her 'teleportation' ability. Assuming this is not a production error, it has been suggested that the ability actually involves magically reconstituting the entire corridor while moving the people in it around. For more information, please refer to the entry on this phenomenon in the [[Speculah:Magical_Powers#Spatial_Reconstruction_.28unconfirmed.29|Magical Powers speculah]].
**Theory proven wrong: her power has nothing to do with that, it was a production error.

*Homura may be a homunculus created by Madoka.<ref>See [http://gall.dcinside.com/anigallers/259050 DCinside] and [http://www.angelhalowiki.com/r1/wiki.php/%EB%A7%88%EB%B2%95%EC%86%8C%EB%85%80%20%EB%A7%88%EB%8F%84%EC%B9%B4%E2%98%86%EB%A7%88%EA%B8%B0%EC%B9%B4/%EB%96%A1%EB%B0%A5%EB%AA%A8%EC%9D%8C#s-7.4 Angelhalo Wiki](Documents are in Korean)</ref>

*Homura might be in possession of the soul gems of magical girls from an alternate timeline, such as the alternate Madokas. See also [[Speculah:Homura Identity Swap Theory]] (though note the identity swap theory has been debunked).
**Theory proven wrong: Soul Gems disappear when their owner dies or become Grief Seeds.

*One of the speculations as for why Homura does not tell Madoka upfront of the consequences of becoming a magical girl, is because Madoka might just become one in order to save Homura or Mami. This could also be the reason why she's trying to keep a distance between her and Madoka.
**Theory proven wrong: she was doing it to stop Madoka per her promise.

*Homura may be Walpurgis Night. As Homura's powers involved time manipulation it could very well be that we are seeing a witch version of Homura warped back into the past ironically becoming the very event that has shaped her reason for making a contract. Walpurgis Night has been depicted with clock-like gears underneath her dress. Episode 11 also depicts Walpurgis Night having a primary color of purple, which is also Homura's color. While the end of the series shows Homura losing her shield, after the credits we are shown Homura during an unknown time period, though having Madoka's ribbons, battling. Before Homura starts the fight, she hears Madoka offer words of encouragement as Homura gives up a final smile, which may signal Homura being consumed with despair. The final shot shows the main heroines, overlapped with multiple silhouettes of the heroines, which could allude to the familiars summoned by Walpurgis Night in episode 11, before showing Homura's soul gem.
**More to this is that it's actually a fact that Kriemhild Gretchen and Walpurgisnacht where designed, to be two halves of a whole, at least as far as physical character design goes. Because of that they form an hour glass. Now, One thing that really stands out is Gretchen, go take a look at her body if you haven't. Now this is really a strange witch for Madoka to become. Most witches have at least something in common with their original wish and past, but all Madoka appears to be is this stringy black mess, What could explain this? Well, if we accept that Walpurgisnacht nacht is in fact Homura's witch, sighting the gears and Homura's lack of a time barrier, It then follows that Homura's and Madoka's witches form the hour glass. The implications of that would not be trivial, To start with, Homura is the very cause of Madoka's power and potential as a magical girl, How does she do this? time loops, as Kyuubey explained, each loop makes Madoka's past bleaker and bleaker, We already know that blackness is despair incarnate since we see it build up in soul gems, Gretchen is of course VERY black. In addition to that, Gretchen is also made up of many tendrils of threads, It would seem that if she is the bottom of the hour glass, then It's plausible that the threads represent the very threads of time that Madoka is caught up in, Walpurgisnacht, if Homura, would then be intimately connected to Gretchen, the very cause of her power, each twist of time by Homura perhaps dropping those threads, symbolic of their relationship to one another.
***Theory proven wrong: Homura's witch form is Homulilly.
{{Theory/Footer}}

{{Theory/Header|status=unknown}}
*Homura may actually be Faust, as Faust in the play tries all his might to save Gretchen (Madoka) from dying but in the end she perishes anyways as Mephistopheles (QB) tries to tempt her to form a contract with him.
** There's also the fact that in the Goethe version, Faust would only lose his soul if he ever had a moment of perfect happiness that made him wish he could stop time at that moment forever. Homura's power, of course, is to stop time. As such, it's entirely possible that the Homura and Faust parallels will be taken to its logical conclusion: She will have a moment of perfect happiness, she will stop time at that moment, and then she will die or become a witch. However, it should be mentioned that Faust manages to escape Mephistopheles and enter heaven because he found his moment of happiness in helping others, and not in anything Mephistopheles gave him. On the other hand, there is a [[Kriemhild Gretchen|witch that tries to create heaven on Earth.]]
** In the story of Faust, the devil grants him "magical powers" for 24 years, "one year for each hour of the day," and the deal was at the end of the "24 years," the devil would claim his soul. Homura's "weapon" is an hourglass, and her hourglass can reset time by one month. Given the strong parallels to Faust, and how at the end of the last loop, Homura was about to lose her soul (by giving in to Kyuubey's master plan and her Soul Gem becoming corrupted), it is entirely probable that her loop lasted for a total of 24 months/loop attempts as a reasonable conservative estimate, and the full Faustian 24 years as a more gruesome estimate. Given how radically her personality has changed since the first loop attempt, and how she seems to have memorized most of the key events of the loop, 24 months seems like a plausible number.

* Homura shows some very different powers in episode 12. While this may be a by-product of the new world, it is also possible she always had these powers and simply did not use them in favor of her less magic-consuming time-stopping.
** Given the fact that she no longer has her shield on her wrist, it is most likely that her powers have changed altogether.
*** Her shield was shown to be completely out of sand during the fight with Walpurgis Night. As we know, the only way for her to get more sand again is to reset the timeline (flip the hourglass). Since the timeline wasn't actually reset by her, even in new timeline, her shield would still be completely out of sand, and therefore, useless as anything but a hunk of steel on her arm. It makes sense she wouldn't use it anymore, then.
**** Considering her wish was to protect Madoka, one could believe her shield shows her resolve to protect. Its turning to sand in the Walpurgis Night fight represents her inability (and indeed, her failure) to protect Madoka. When she flips the hourglass, gaining more sand represents the fact she can protect Madoka again. Her not having it in the new timeline shows that she doesn't need to protect anyone anymore.
*** As for the source of her new powers, speculations abound; lead amongst them is that she got Madoka's bow from her at the same time that Madoka fixed her Soul Gem and gave her her ribbon. Another theory is that since her wish was to "protect Madoka," and Madoka is now a concept rather than a person, her powers were altered into something similar to what Madoka uses. Yet another theory is that with the universe restarted, Homura made a different wish, and so got different powers. Yet another theory is that Homura was always able to produce a bow; after all, her original concept artwork depicted her with that weapon. She just hadn't figured out how, or alternatively, just hadn't bothered, since stopping time is more efficient.
**** My (slightly poorly-founded) theory is that her wish was to know what Madoka was (which explains why she can suddenly tell Kyubey everything) - if that's true, her having a bow represents her bond with the concept of Madoka. Kind of similar to your point.

* The reason why Homura can't prevent Madoka from being a magic girl may be interpreted that it is Madoka's being magic girl that makes Homura become magic girl. If Homura really did, there will be a paradox. But effect can't change the cause. Therefore,no matter how many times she tries, she is destined to fail.
** Another evidence may support this idea. In the end of episode 12, Homura is still a magic girl and she know the existence of Madoka. Because it is Homura's being magic girl and her trying hundreds of times to save Madoka that gives Madoka the ability to become Madokami. Even Madokami can't change what she is based on to exist. The effect can't change the cause.

===Different Universes===
There are some bizarre elements that haven't been properly addressed in the anime series. In one case is the issue that the production notes state that in one timeline [[Puella_Magi_Production_Note#Oktavia_von_Seckendorff.2C_Timeline_3_Version|Kyousuke was a guitarist]]. It was never addressed in the Anime but in the [[:file:Card Oktavia 2.png|alternate-Oktavia's witch card]] does mention a guitar, and we have no reason to assume it refers to anyone but Kyousuke. On this reason Kyousuke as a guitarist is considered to be canon. One possible explanation for this is that Homura is not only going back in time but also going to [[wikipedia:Parallel_universe_(fiction)|parallel universes]] (different universes) contained within the [[wikipedia:Multiverse|multiverse]].

[[NewType_2011-05#Homura.27s_shield|Gen Urobuchi stated that he didn't really think too much about the mechanics of Homura's time loops]], so the nature of Homura's power is not only a mystery, but it is not fully understood not even by the creative source.

There are ways to explain the change in instrument using only time travel. Perhaps someone made a wish that changed Kyousuke's past, and the effects persisted in future timelines because the wish changed events that happened before the point where the timelines diverged, when Homura woke up in the hospital. Kyousuke might be proficient with both instruments, and some event during the time loop period might inspire him to prefer one over the other. However, these speculations are based on guesswork, since the show's creators have not yet provided details.

Translation what Homura saying:

"No one understands this sadness I feel."

<s>A solitary girl has arrived.</s> A lonely girl has arrived after a struggle.

A beacon of light towards hope

The new "rules"

They will overturn everything

The shape of love

Who are you?"

I want to meet you just one more time.

So it's NEW world after all.

** QB's shape has been modified a little. There is a scene (flashback?) shows all 5 magical girls in their back.
*** In that picture, Homura is in her previous hairstyle with 2 pigtails. And Kyoko is in school uniform. But it might also be possible that the girl is not Kyoko.
** It might imply that magical girls in the new world is still in sadness and sorrow.
** Homura's shield is back. But it may also be possible that she is in previous world then.

Translation:[http://walpurgischan.net/meduka/res/3507.html]

Homura (narration): "There are those who wish for hope, take on a curse, and continue fighting." [The Magical Girls'…]

Homura (narration): "They are Magical Girls." […cruel fates…]

Homura (narration): "We will continue the fight." […do not end]

[A newly completed production]

Mami: "Do you think you can beat someone on the same level as me?"

Homura: "If this is all you've got, then I won't lose!"

Sayaka: "Do you intend to escape into your time [stop] again?"

Kyouko: "Is this some kind of illusion or something?"*

[In a world without Madoka, did something happen to the girls?]

Homura: "Using such a roundabout way out… What in the world is your intention?"

Homura: "Why… tell me… do I…"

Kyouko: "You… no way…!"**

Sayaka: "All of us who are reaching our limits… Even I want to sympathize."

Mami: "Someday, the 'law of cycles' that leads us will…"***

Homura: "I was supposed to be the only one who remembers…"****

[Dreams, reality, past, future, hope, despair]

Kyuubey: "Even though you don't want to know the truth, you can't help but chase after it. This thing called "human curiosity" is quite irrational, isn't it."

Madoka: "You mustn't [let yourself] be left alone, Homura-chan."
[The story heads toward a new conclusion]

Translation notes and speculation, based on wording:

[*] "koitsu" is referring to either a thing or a person/monster/something living"—I'm going to guess it's a Nightmare/Witch, as that's when the most bizarre, reality-shifting stuff happens in the series/movie, to my knowledge.

[**] The line could be translated as "You couldn't have…!" or "You couldn't be…!," but it's vague enough that we can't exactly figure out if she's surprised about the other person/thing's identity or something they did/will do.

[***] The "law of cycles" is what Mami called the new laws of the universe that dictate that Magical Girls disappear when they use up all their magic at the end of the TV show. There's no indication in this wording that she knows of Madoka's existence yet.

[****] "I was supposed to be…" ← interesting wording, if you ask me. She's very obviously hinting that she is no longer the only one who remembers, so either the other girls are starting to remember or a new character appeared who remembered, or something of the sort.

Aniplex USA is selling all the Japanese Rebellion merch for $200 (or just the guide for $12)
It's US and Canada only though.

==Canada==
[[File:1387245484933.jpg]]

''Canadian tickets are $12 CAD, so the that's about $100k CAD raked in for Rebellion's second showing in Canada.''

''Overall, The Rebellion Story should gross around $500k USD or more in NA. A pretty healthy bump compare to the $180k earned by The Beginning/Eternal Story double feature last year.''

:Summary
* For his scenario, Urobuchi got help from Kyubey to let Madoka forget her identity in Homulilly's barrier.
* He formed everyone's characteristic except Homura when watching Hidamari Sketch.
* He thinks Homura have throw her confusion away in the movie. By doing this, she grows up like a heroine.
* He also has stronger impression on Homura in the movie than what he imagined earier. Although Homura calls herself a demon, she has conflict.
* He also says it bad to teach children there's no darkness.
* In a letter, the writer asks if Sayaka might be the protagonist. Urobuchi answers that since Sayaka got a special position in the movie, it is possible for her being a solitary heroine in the future. She might be the only one who can match Homura.

::from 4chan, not really related to the movies, unless you are into economics:

The basic premise is that the author recently read a book about Japan sub-consciously never being able to accept defeat after the war. That they latched onto economic growth instead, however this has put them in a cyclic state of rapid growth and collapse.

The likenesses with Madoka (he watched the first 2 movies, not Rebellion) are then:

- Magical girls/The people realize the system is rotten, but not really why. Yet they must continue to fight/work to protect those dear to them/their livelihood.

- Meanwhile someone from the outside (Kyuubey/foreign countries) profits from all this.

- Homura's timeloops are compared to the boom-bust cycle of economics, this leads to Homura finding about exactly what's wrong with the system.

- Like the gathered karma from the loops, this knowledge is then the catalyst for something happening that can break this loop and greatly improve the world for magical girls/the people.

He states that the book I mentioned earlier as the likely catalyst that will let the Japanese break away from this cycle, but that it will also likely take some time for their Madoka to appear. --[[User:Mutopis|Mutopis]] 03:18, 26 December 2013 (UTC)

Translation what Homura saying:

"No one understands this sadness I feel."

<s>A solitary girl has arrived.</s> A lonely girl has arrived after a struggle.

A beacon of light towards hope

The new "rules"

They will overturn everything

The shape of love

Who are you?"

** QB's shape has been modified a little. There is a scene (flashback?) shows all 5 magical girls in their back.
*** In that picture, Homura is in her previous hairstyle with 2 pigtails. And Kyoko is in school uniform. But it might also be possible that the girl is not Kyoko.
** It might imply that magical girls in the new world is still in sadness and sorrow.
** Homura's shield is back. But it may also be possible that she is in previous world then.

Translation:[http://walpurgischan.net/meduka/res/3507.html]

Homura (narration): "There are those who wish for hope, take on a curse, and continue fighting." [The Magical Girls'…]

Homura (narration): "They are Magical Girls." […cruel fates…]

Homura (narration): "We will continue the fight." […do not end]

[A newly completed production]

Mami: "Do you think you can beat someone on the same level as me?"

Homura: "If this is all you've got, then I won't lose!"

Sayaka: "Do you intend to escape into your time [stop] again?"

Kyouko: "Is this some kind of illusion or something?"*

[In a world without Madoka, did something happen to the girls?]

Homura: "Using such a roundabout way out… What in the world is your intention?"

Homura: "Why… tell me… do I…"

Kyouko: "You… no way…!"**

Sayaka: "All of us who are reaching our limits… Even I want to sympathize."

Mami: "Someday, the 'law of cycles' that leads us will…"***

Homura: "I was supposed to be the only one who remembers…"****

[Dreams, reality, past, future, hope, despair]

Kyuubey: "Even though you don't want to know the truth, you can't help but chase after it. This thing called "human curiosity" is quite irrational, isn't it."

Madoka: "You mustn't [let yourself] be left alone, Homura-chan."
[The story heads toward a new conclusion]

Translation notes and speculation, based on wording:

[*] "koitsu" is referring to either a thing or a person/monster/something living"—I'm going to guess it's a Nightmare/Witch, as that's when the most bizarre, reality-shifting stuff happens in the series/movie, to my knowledge.

[**] The line could be translated as "You couldn't have…!" or "You couldn't be…!," but it's vague enough that we can't exactly figure out if she's surprised about the other person/thing's identity or something they did/will do.

[***] The "law of cycles" is what Mami called the new laws of the universe that dictate that Magical Girls disappear when they use up all their magic at the end of the TV show. There's no indication in this wording that she knows of Madoka's existence yet.

[****] "I was supposed to be…" ← interesting wording, if you ask me. She's very obviously hinting that she is no longer the only one who remembers, so either the other girls are starting to remember or a new character appeared who remembered, or something of the sort.

:Summary
* For his scenario, Urobuchi got help from Kyubey to let Madoka forget her identity in Homulilly's barrier.
* He formed everyone's characteristic except Homura when watching Hidamari Sketch.
* He thinks Homura have throw her confusion away in the movie. By doing this, she grows up like a heroine.
* He also has stronger impression on Homura in the movie than what he imagined earier. Although Homura calls herself a demon, she has conflict.
* He also says it bad to teach children there's no darkness.
* In a letter, the writer asks if Sayaka might be the protagonist. Urobuchi answers that since Sayaka got a special position in the movie, it is possible for her being a solitary heroine in the future. She might be the only one who can match Homura.

::from 4chan, not really related to the movies, unless you are into economics:

The basic premise is that the author recently read a book about Japan sub-consciously never being able to accept defeat after the war. That they latched onto economic growth instead, however this has put them in a cyclic state of rapid growth and collapse.

The likenesses with Madoka (he watched the first 2 movies, not Rebellion) are then:

- Magical girls/The people realize the system is rotten, but not really why. Yet they must continue to fight/work to protect those dear to them/their livelihood.

- Meanwhile someone from the outside (Kyuubey/foreign countries) profits from all this.

- Homura's timeloops are compared to the boom-bust cycle of economics, this leads to Homura finding about exactly what's wrong with the system.

- Like the gathered karma from the loops, this knowledge is then the catalyst for something happening that can break this loop and greatly improve the world for magical girls/the people.

He states that the book I mentioned earlier as the likely catalyst that will let the Japanese break away from this cycle, but that it will also likely take some time for their Madoka to appear. --[[User:Mutopis|Mutopis]] 03:18, 26 December 2013 (UTC)

==Trailer Download Error==
There seems to be a download error with the 2nd TV exclusive. The video is almost 12 minutes long. When I download it, all 12 minutes are downloaded, but only the first few minutes can actually play. Has anybody else experienced this problem? The MediaFire link is http://www.mediafire.com/watch/iaf3x8ib7zk61ja/Rebellion_TV_Special2.flv. Can somebody fix this problem?

Starkiller: Made a tiny correction to the spelling of Homura

{{Note|DISCLAIMER: I may have to watch the movie a few more times, and possibly even with subs so that I can fully grasp the context of the movie. So the answers below are based on how much I can understand by watching it the first time. }}

==Q&A==

{| class="wikitable"
|-
!Q: Was it good?
|-
|A: It depends on how you want to watch it. Shinbo mentioned that "You should be totally ready before watching this movie", He's not lying; Chiwa Saito mentioned that "This movie will totally cause people to have mixed reactions", and she's not lying.
 
I for one see the movie as "Magica Quartet 's own take of End of Evangelion".
 
'''Note: This is not meant to be a comparision between Madoka and Eva.'''
|-
!Q: How many people died and how many were resurrected (if only in an alternative scenario/universe)?
|-
|A: In a very strict sense of speaking: No one died. Homura basically defy "The Law of Cycle" by taking out all the mahou shoujo (more like every single person) that are dead or disappeared at the previous series (taken away by Godoka) and reshaped the universe by putting them in, resurrecting them.
|-
!Q: Were there any new contracts? If so, who and with what wish(es)?
|-
|A: There is no new contract whatsoever in this movie.
|-
!Q: What's the deal with Nagisa Momoe?
|-
|A: Her real name is Bebe. Her existence basically confirmed that she is Charlotte in the previous universe.
|-
!Q: Is there a post ED scene?
|-
|A: Yep. It's mostly a symbolism (like how the moon is literally cut 90 degrees into half). QB pops up, Homura danced around QB and QB turned into a corpse, followed by Homura jumping off the ledge, making it look like she suicided.
|-
!Q: How much Yuri is there in the movie?
|-
|A: Homura admits that she loves Madoka, but she only tells her indirectly. Kyouko and Sayaka do have a proper closure to their relationship though.
|-
!Q: Did the japanese like it or hate it?
|-
|A: So far, they loved it. From what I read of course.
|-
!Q: Was there any preview information about further material coming anytime soon?
|-
|A: There is no post credit trailer or whatsoever that indicates a sequel or anything, but everyone who watched the movie will definitely think there will be a sequel. There HAS to be. They can't just end the story like that.
|-
!Q: Were more questions raised than answered?
|-
|A: Yep. I found three: 
a) When Homura realized that she is the one that actually shaped the world (the Fake Mitakihara) and herself lived in a world "full of lies", and that she is actually the witch that created the world, QB and Homura had a full blown bickering conversation: Witches are not supposed to appear (hell, the concept of Witches itself is a foreign one) in the new world anymore, how is it even possible for Homura to TURN INTO ONE? Supposedly, from what I understand, QB preserved Homura and Homura went into a suspended vegetable state and in order to prevent herself from turning into a witch (in the outside world, do note that Homura is the one that created the world, so she probably reached her limits and became half witch at this point) YET prevent her from being taken away by Godoka before she turns into one. Apparently QB's motive, or plan, is to lure Godoka to her, take Godoka's The Law of Cycle powers and conquer the universe. But the question remains. Witches are not supposed to appear anymore in the new universe, so how can Homura still turn into a witch is not properly explained.
 
EDIT: Take note that Homura still abides contract from the very first timeline. Why exactly contract is working throughout different worlds isn't explained anywhere, nor mechanic behind Madokami's changes into it. She may very well just changed after-effect, rather than changing contract itself. So the real questions are: did Madokami change the contract and if yes, did she change Homura contract, considering Homura isn't exactly from her world?
 
b) When Homura's soul is supposedly "cleansed" after the whole battle, Godoka (also referred by Mami as the The Law of Cycle) came from another dimension to take Homura away, Homura suddenly turned evil and her attitude basically changed 180 degrees. The movie NEVER explained why she turned that way or how. She just, turned that way.
 
However, one can assume that it's the side effect of what happens when one turned into a witch then turned back into human.
Keep in mind that Homura really, really doesn't approve of Madoka putting the happiness of others above her own (see the conversation in Homura's new world). She's clearly been twisted by everything she's been through but it's a pretty logical continuation of Homura always trying to save Madoka from herself.
: True, Hence I have to believe that the whole obsession towards Madoka, plus the burden that has accumulated up till now, has taken a toll on her...it's either Homura is corrupted, posessed...or probably just acting not herself anymore.
 
c) How would Homura's new powers affect the new world, the existence of witches, entropy itself remains unexplained. Whether will there be witches or new enemies are not explained. What will happen to the new world, the fate of entropy and all that is implied that it will be left for Homura to decide. She's basically a god now. However one thing's confirmed: Homura is currently confining Godoka into her own, rewritten universe. ( based on some speculation, Homura merely took over madoka post as the Goddess as her main aim is to let Madoka have a happy life instead of burdening herself with the task of goddess. SO everything is the same as whn Godoka is still in charge. however 1 interesting question arise, Homura told Madoka that they will be enemies. Is that signalling a sequel? or simply Angel Vs Demon concept?)
 
 
APPEND: There seems to be a contradiction here. In the rebuilt universe with demons (Pre-Rebellion) Madoka and Sayaka does not exist so they cannot be trapped by Kyubey. Now in the Rebellion movie, during the part where Homura realizes that the imaginary Mitakihara is a result of her witch-self, she impliedly follows logic that "I am the only one who remembers Madoka from the previous universe, so if Madoka exists here in this imaginary Mitakihara, the witch must be myself". If I recall correctly, Kyubey explicitly states that Madoka, Kyouko, Mami as "anomalies". This may be because in the Pre-Rebellion universe the real Kyouko is not a student, and the real Mami does not have Bebe with her. The strange part is that Madoka somehow recovers her memories as if she existed in the Pre-Rebellion universe.
|-
!Q: Why would QB want to take over the universe?
|-
|A: This is not explained either. The biggest possibility is pure curiosity.
Edit: Now I remember, Homura did explain about the concept of witches and all the experiences Homura faced before the universe has rewritten to QB in the new world. And in the movie...QB went lengths to preserve Homura into an in-between state in order to test her theory....
 
Edit: In the movie Kyubei mentioned that he wanted to harvest energies more efficiently utilizing witches that Homura previously explained.
 
Homura, you really shouldn't have done that...
|-
!Q: How do the fake and real Mitakihara co-exist?
|-
|A: This is probably related to her witch powers. In the movie, her real body is seen sleeping on top of the pillar (in the real world) with her soul gem at the roof of the pillar (half broken) - She has the power to seal her consciousness and reshaped the universe within her own consciousness. Hence she formed the fake Mitakihara.
 
A2: Fake Mitakihara is inside Homura's Soul Gem.
|-
!Q: Was there another memorable line comparable to the one at the end of ep 12?
|-
|A: Take what you watched during the end of the second movie (especially the trailer to movie 3) and there you go.
|-
!Q: <Kazumi> Why is Sayaka breakdancing?
|-
|A: That's her transformation scene.
 
Wait, she did dance in the opening of the movie, with Kyouko, beside a crying Homura...
 
A2: As you can see, all character transformations in this sequence are different dance styles. Maybe Sayaka got breakdance because she is the most compulsive (or repulsive, depending on your stance on her) character of all quintet.
|-
!Q: How did Homura become a witch? I heard it involves disturbing imagery.
|-
|A: Basically, QB snapped her, hard. Too bad QB, you probably played with fire far too much on this one. If QB didn't mention something about taking Godoka's power for it's own, Homura would not turn into full witch.
|-
!Q: If Godoka is on a higher plane of existence, how can she "come" to get Homura if Godoka literally exists in every location at every point of time?
|-
|A: The only explanation I can give is that she is a Goddess, she can basically do anything. In the movie, a dimension is basically opened (in the real world, not fake Mitakihara world) and Godoka descended in that particular space to bring Homura away.
 
A2: That's how she takes mahou shoujous into her Valhalla, or what they see before becoming a witch, to be exact.
|-
!Q: Is there a new set of Runes to decipher or did they stick to the old text and musical ones?
|-
|A: Too many. If you know Runes to begin with. That's great, but if you haven't by now, do so.
|-
!Q:How many times did Mami's mammies appear on screen?
|-
|A: Lost count. There is however at least one full cut that has Mami's boobs shown...no...no nudity, of course.
|-
!Q: Was there any new chair metaphors?
|-
|A: Yes, remember the cuddling scene in the Movie opening? Think of an extremely screwed/gory version of it. One of it, shows Madoka standing up, doing a cross, Jesus crucified-like post and fall down, motionless and lifeless.
|-
!Q:What happened to the megucas after the Homucifer rebuild? Do they continue hunting witches/wraith or Homucifer took care of them all?
|-
|A: Witches do not seem to appear in that rewritten world. Everyone sort of living normal lives. Nagisa turned into a normal school girl and is seen going to school with her friends, Madoka turned from a cheerful happy girl into a rather timid, shy, yet soft and normal spoken girl...until Homura offers to guide her around the school that Madoka is shown her eyes turned golden, signifying that the Godoka powers still reside within her.
 
It's a direct reversal of the start of the series, with Madoka returning to Japan after three years in America and Homura showing her to the nurse's office.
 
Sayaka's memories are somewhat altered, thanks to Homura. but whether Sayaka's memories are fully altered or not, remains unknown for now.
Note the irony of Sayaka remembering things from the previous worlds but anybody she told about it would just think she's a weirdo.
|-
!Q: Speaking of 'gory', how violent/disturbing is the imagery in the movie?
|-
|A: Personally it's not so traumatizing/disturbing actually, but I'd say they brought out that eerie mood quite well. It's rather subjective, though.
 
A2: Less than 2nd episode of anime series, but has WAY MORE witchworld visuals.
|-
!Q: What is the context for this [[Cake Song]] [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=G1JGAfTbIQ0] which was extracted from the audiorip?
|-
|A: The cake song is basically the 5 of them captured the Nightmare (Shizuku Nightmare to be exact), and did a somewhat "Are you the cake? No it's someone else, are you the cake?" kind of guessing game. Maybe there is a reference behind that.
|-
!Q: Did you feel that everyone was in character, or was the characterization poor? How about the overall plot? Did it feel like it was well-written, or cheesy grimderp a la psycho-pass?
|-
|A: Personally I find the whole plot intriguing. Urobuchi basically take that bittersweet ending and broke it, and I think he did it splendidly, and managed to actually leave spaces for a sequel, even. Not many script writters can actually do what he did.
 
As for how you think about the movie...it's either you like it, or you hate it. SHAFT is at least honest with their work this time.
 
A2: It's a huge disappointment that supposedly "ending once and for all" movie ended with cliffhanger, however even "old-school witch" Homura wings from the end of anime series heavily hinted this outcome.
|-
!Q:How did the other megucas, including the supposedly dead Sayaka end up in Homura's soul gem world?
|-
|A: It's not really "dead", more like it's how Homura envisoned her perfect world is like. So in her "dream world" or "envisioned world" (or whatever you call it) - Everyone lives, fighting like a sentai team, and live normally without any repercussions. Until Homura started to question that something is wrong with it...
 
It's like what QB said (along the lines of, need exact quote of this though) "What a paradox, You actually questioned the world you have actually created with your own two hands"
|-
!Q: But then how did the team save Homura from becoming a witch? It was all in her mind?
|-
|A: What it was shown, is that the dream world characters realized the truth behind themselves, and band up to save Homura by destroying her witch form. At this stage, Homura is a witch, but retained conciousness. Madoka banded up with the real world Homura (Remember the Magia CD cover that depicts both Homura and Madoka pulling the bow string together? that was actually evoked in the movie) to break the witch world and thus restore everything to normal.
 
And since it happens too fast, I need to watch the movie again to make sure.
|-
!Q:There was a dialog between Homura and Sayaka in the dream world, along the lines of "Mami did not know the existence of Witches (because she is from the current timeline, and only know about Nightmares? Wraiths?), but you do. What are you?" I assumed that it's the real Mami stuck in the dream world and Sayaka might be just the imagination of Homura. What do you think?
|-
|A: Wraths do not appear in Homura's world. And yes, since in the rewritten world, wtiches do not exist, thus Mami and Kyouko do not have any knowledge of that, hence it's heavily implied that Mami and Kyouko are the real one living in the real world but trapped inside Homura's dream world (though it doesn't explain how Bebe comes into the picture being Mami's best friend). And Sayaka is the Sayaka that Homura envisioned her as throughout the previous universe, which is why she can freely transform or even utilize Oktavia's powers. Hence Sayaka being Homura's imagination wouldn't be too far of a stretch.
|-
!Q: Bottom line: Does this ruin the franchise? Should I be happy or upset?
|-
|A: It definitely leave spaces to expand the story, without a doubt, even the post credit ED ends the whole thing abruptly. As of whether you should be happy or upset...well, that's totally up to you.
 
A2: That depends on your expectation of the movie, I am certainly not pleased with result.
|-
!Q: Besides Madoka and Homura, who are the most relevant characters in Rebellion?
|-
|A: Nagisa. It at least confirmed who Charlotte REALLY is before she turned into a witch and mogu mogu'd Mami.
 
To add, I said Nagisa because Homura began to struggle and go against, while questioning Bebe's validity of existence, thus making both Mami and Homura fight to the death, kickstarting the entire journey to truth (even though Homura started with Kyouko first). Bebe = Nagisa.
 
Nagisa is also the one who informed Mami about the truth behind the world they're living in.
 
And aside from Nagisa...real world QB, because.....well it's QB.
|-
!Q: Expanding upon the last question, how relevant is Sayaka in this movie? How much screentime does she gets compared to the other characters?
|-
|A: Let's see, what did Sayaka do in the movie.
 
# She definitely acts a lot more like her original personality without the despair she went through. She's also gotten a lot stronger, acting as a offensive attacker to the Nightmares, along with Kyouko.
# She was the one that saved Homura from being chained by Mami after the death battle between the both.
# She is shown, or implied to be stronger than Homura in the dream world, probably because she can utilize Oktavia's powers.
# She, and Kyouko had a heartwarming reconcilation scene when banding up with others to save Witch Homura Please, tell us more! - Basically it's a what-if thing enacted if Kyouko's voice were to actually reach Sayaka when she turned into Oktavia in the previous universe. It's almost to the point of love confession.
# She appears, along with Bebe and Godoka when Godoka descended from an open dimensional space to get Homura (though that ended disastrously)
# She is the first to question Homucifer after she reestablished the entire universe, which ended up her memories altered.
 
That's all I remember so far. You'll decide whether she's significant from then on.
 
P/S: This is a rather personal observation, but I think Kyouko gets a tiny little bit more screen time than Sayaka.
|-
!Q: Do Madoka and Homura have a final battle in the movie?
|-
|A: The answer is no. For now.
|-
!Q: Is Homura a witch by the end of the movie? There seems to be a lot of evidence pointing towards this conclusion, and I hear she transformed because of love, not despair. Is this true?
|-
|A: From what I can understand, Homura is, for now, shown as a Puella Magi Goddess at the same level as Godoka (her Soul Gem transformation..Ultimate Soul Gem? is a some sort of proof that she is), and there was never any indication nor nothing was shown that made her evil because of despair, The movie doesn't even address the motive behind her change even so one can assume that she "transforms" neither because of love nor despair. All I can tell right now is that it is currently unknown what really caused her to pull a rebellion (oh god now the subtitle actually made sense).
 
However you can refer to line 41 of this Q&A section for hints and spectulations.
 
Edit: Homura mentioned that she was a devil that rebelled against the Godoka. What made her a devil is also explained by herself... "What darkened my Soul Gem was not despair", "The ultimate emotion of human ... hotter than hope and deeper than despair. Love. You will never understand". According to the explanation in the movie brochure, she is "Akuma Homura" which means "Devil Homura" and her Gem is "Dark Orb".
|-
!Q: What do Kyouko and Mami do throughout the movie, and what happens to them in the new universe?
-->Anything specific they do? I hear Kyouko drove with Homura to find out they couldn't go to the next city, and then there's the scene with her and Sayaka, and that's all I've heard. I've heard nothing about Mami so far, so I don't get why people are complaining Kyouko is less relevant than her.
|-
|A: Kyouko and Mami are two key person in the movie that does not know anything about witches nor their sufferings from the previous universe (even if Homura tried to ask them about it - This actually kickstarted the gradual plot twist). So what they do would depends on which universe you're talking about: If it's Homura's dream world, they are normal Puella Magis acting like themselves just like how they used to be in the previous universe sans the memories of witches and all that. In real world, things don't change much because both of them don't appear much to actually tell the difference... As for what happens to them in the Homura rewritten universe...they go to school normally, but it didn't show them being close to each other as each character acts individually, so I'd assume they don't know each other in this new universe anymore. Don't take that assumption for granted though.
 
At least Sayaka knows both Kyousuke and Hitomi...
 
Let's break down what Mami did in the movie, shall we?
# She is the leader of Puella Magi Holy Quintet (ahaha oh wow the name)
# She is the one that introduced Homura to the rest of her peers, Homura is the last one to join.
## Well she is also the one to be shown realized that a wild Nightmare has appeared. Oh, that was a fanservice scene as she just finished taking her bath...
# Mami has a friend - and that's Bebe. According to the movie: Bebe is her biggest support when she is lonely and without her she would have broke down a long time ago.
# Mami cannot agree with what Homura is trying to do to Bebe because Homura knew that Bebe was Charlotte, the one that made Mami lose her head. But since Mami does not have any memories of that, they fought.
# Mami also fought with the other 4 to save Homura in her witch form.
# Mami was the one that referred Godoka as "The Law of Cycle"
 
That's about it.
 
Now, let's see what Kyouko did.
# Kyouko, like Sayaka, is the front line offensive attacker in her group.
# The first one to be approached by Homura and asked about her lost memories was Kyouko
# You're right, Kyouko agreed to test Homura's doubts about the world they are living and thus they tried to take a bus and travel to her previous destination, or so called her hometown (Kyouko's base of operations before she declared she was done with the place and join Mami), only to find out that they couldn't reach the place, running in loops.
# There's a lof of scenes with showing her with Sayaka. Most prominent one is the ones mentioned before - they had a reconcilation scene because of what happened during the previous universe.
# Kyouko is also with Mami when Homura is saved after her witch transformation and the battle (in real world) and also seen Godoka's advent to retrieve Homura.
 
Regardless, Mami, Sayaka and Kyouko are supporting characters in the movie. The focus is mainly on Madoka and Homura, but the spotlight is definitely Homura.
|-
!Q: So is it safe to assume that all the promotional material/clips took place in the fake soul gem universe? I dunno, I see that scene with Madoka, Kyouko, and Sayaka fit in context with Homura's universe, with Kyouko asking Madoka about her stay in America and Sayaka telling her to back off. But then again, I haven't wacthed the movie.
|-
|A: Bingo. Everything you see in Mezamashi TV (the show which introduces some new clips of the movie) all took place in Homura's dream world/fake soul gem universe. As for Kyouko asking Madoka about her stay in America...Was there a scene on that? The only one I remember that Madoka came back from America is during the end of the movie after Homura re-established the entire universe.
 
It's rather obvious by now: Don't you think Homura's appearance throughout the promotional clips being weird? Ponytail, glasses, then her shield... In the real world she no longer uses the shield nor her time stopping powers anymore.
|-
!Q: Sorry I've been asking so many questions, I just have a lot to ponder about the film. So, context for multiple Incubators? Are they all Kyubey's bodies, or separate Incubators?
|-
|A: No problem. As it is shown in the movie - yes, multiple Incubators are shown, As far as it's shown, each incubators are different as well. And they are all massacred...apparently. It is still unknown if all of them are dead. Some Japanese fans even joked that the next movie would be "The Counterattack of the Incubators".
|-
!Q: New theory’s popped up on /a/ saying the Homura plans to play villain a la Code Geass’s Zero Requiem. It would make sense, considering that Devil Homura would fit as a lord to the Majuu/Wraiths/Demons, not to mention that Homura says to Sayaka that she expects to become a new threat after all the Majuu are finished and that it gives an excuse for Incubators (sans Kyubey) and Puella Magi to exist in a potential Season 2. What are your thoughts?
|-
|A: This will most likely happen. I for one still believe that the Homura I know all the time is still there somewhere...She probably need a wake up slap from Madoka, but as of now nothing can be said because I'm not the guy who likes to spectulate 1000 different possibilities of what's going to happen in the future.
 
But based on observation and what I understand from the movie so far (and clearly shown): Madoka is shown to actually still contain her powers and is actually struggling to break free (the background of the hallway of her school is shown distorted with a background of galaxies, and her eyes turned gold) but Homura hugged her and things went back to "normal". Considering Homura can freely juggle one's memories. It is likely that she is controlling her right now. So to break the excpetion, I'd say that Madoka will be the one that will change things again and play an extremely important role in the future. As for Sayaka...as her memories are now controlled, she is probably powerless to do anything now, but who knows what can she do in the future? I'll be looking foward to that as well.
|-
!Q: What's up with the Homuarmy? A cake tank and nuke I can understand, but every previous incarnation of Homura through the timelines wha? Any other parties involved in World War Witch besides the Puella Magi, Godoka, the witches from the TV series, Homulilly, and the Incubators?
Alright, thanks for clearing some things up. :)
|-
|A: There is only one Incubator in that so called World War Witch...Oh, interestingly, no one listens to that QB either. The ones who fought in that battle would be the main 4 Puella Magis + Bebe/Nagisa. Sayaka is particular helpful in this one as she can utilize Oktavia's powers. Well considering it's established that each Witch will have her own minions, the so called Homuarmy are Homura Witch's minions. The ones that destroy these minions are Nagisa and Sayaka.
 
And no, it's not Homulilly. If anything, it reminds me more of Walpurgis Nacht (Homura witch is damn huge). There is also one particular symbolism in her witch form: Her upper face is cut off, leaving only her mouth.
|-
!Q: Any Nightmares beside Hitomi's in the film? Also, any details on what causes her to turn into a Nightmare, beside Kyousuke dumping her for his violin?
|-
|A: Strangely, The Nightmare at the very, very beginning of the movie and Hitomi Nightmare were the only Nightmare shown...The reason that turned her into a Nightmare? Hitomi tried to ask Kyousuke out for a date on Sunday, but Kyousuke said he'll be busy on Sunday due to violin practice (as his recital is coming up soon)...that made Hitomi rant about how she like Kyousuke that works hard but he didn't work hard to pay more attention to her, then...well we all know what happens next.
|-
!Q: How exactly does Homura go about trying to turn herself into a witch?
|-
|A: For this question I may have to rewatch the movie. But basically when Homura finally found the answers to her doubts about the fake sould gem/dream world, she delieved a some sort of wham line stating that the one who created the whole world is actually herself (she was already half witch right at the start of the movie), after doing the final experiment: She didn't collapse or turned lifeless after being 100 meters away from her Soul Gem, followed with a scene where she used her gun to shoot her Soul Gem, crushing it.
 
We are then shown scenes of Homura arguing with QB in the real world (This is the part where the conversation gets very long and I couldn't catch everything, but if I'm not mistaken it does tell how she became the state she was in, probably because her time was up). However QB mentioned something that made Homura snap and she basically replied with a "don't mess with our emotions" line, thus completely turned into a witch. In the dream world, a whole load of meteors fell from the sky (You can see that particular scene from the post The Eternal Story ED movie 3 trailer), destroying the whole city. A lot of QBs (the real world QB, not the dream world one) were massacred in the process as well.
|-
!Q: Can sombody explain Sayaka stabbing herself in a CM, if she lives? http://wiki.puella-magi.net/File:Sayaka_stabbing_herself.gif
|-
|A: She...stabbed herself? I don't remember seeing that, but posting a video link or screenshots would help me remind it back a bit.
...Isn't that the scene where she stabbed herself to summon Oktavia during her fight to save Witch Homura?
 
A2: It probably has to do something with her reason to become a witch: her heart was crushed, metaphorically speaking. Also, background resembles the one with Elsa Maria fight, when Sayaka went full berserk.
|-
|'''Q: Is their any possible way that the main reason Homura has decided to distance herself from the others but keep them and Madoka inside her gem is because the state outside of it is far too unstable but also because she wants Madoka to fall in love with her again 'naturally'? Like basically saying she just wants everyone to end up acting like nothing's wrong until everyone's found their happiness without stuff like fate or predestined love getting in the way? Because from how this sounds, it seems a lot more like she's actually ended up creating a universe much like the one in Evangelion's TV ending version of episode 26 and the spinoff manga where they are living in a kind of highschool AU type thing. So all she wants to do is make sure that allows for closure and she'll be Madoka's enemy until Madoka's able to convince her that she loves her for being Homura and not for constantly saving her. What do you think of this?'''
|-
|A: The reason why Madoka made a wish back in the previous universe is to ensure that no one will have to turn into witches and thus break the cycle, allowing Puella Magi to hold a better hope in fighting for a better future. Homura defying the Law of Cycle and her turning evil basically means Homura does not actually understand what Madoka really wants. You can argue that she actually does but she is against the notion of selfless love so she does things better than what Madoka has pulled for her wish, but let's use this analogy (be it terrible or not): Let's say you fall in love with a girl. But a girl ended up falling in love with another guy and they ended up dating, a happy couple. Would you look aside, forgot about it and wish her happy while sacrificing your own love and feelings, or you're going to force yourself on her and have her on your own, even if it means doing something society would hate you for, like: rape?
 
I personally think Homura knows the consequences of pulling something like this. She personally knows that pulling this is actually going against Madoka's wish and thoughts. Which is why Homura mentioned in the movie that they will become enemies in the future. It's not really like Evangelion where you had OMEDETOU trolling you around, in fact there is a difference: Shinji ACCEPTED everything on his own free will (Instrumentality if I'm not wrong) and thus leading up to that point. But in Rebelion, Nobody expected Homura to actually pull something like this. In fact it's so sudden, if I'm Madoka, I'd have ask Homura why a thousand times before I can even reach for an answer. That's basically what Sayaka is trying to confront Homura about. Things are pulled against their will and thoughts, and Homura basically succeeded in it. If it's not out of despair nor love (which some say it's out of love), I'd say it's out of obsession. I for one don't consider love as obsession, which is why I may this things differently.
|-
!Q: So in the new movie, are all the characters except Homu, Kyubey and Godoka just dream-world replicas of the originals?
|-
|A: According to Japanese accounts who watched the movie: Mami and Kyouko are real. They are trapped within the dream-world created by Homura. This explains why they don't have memories of the previous universe.
To make it easier for you: Mami, Kyouko = Real, Homura = The one who created the world, Madoka, Sayaka, Bebe/Nagisa = Replicas, QB = Depends (The real QB is heavily implied to have actually observed the whole thing from outside)
 EDIT: Just a little clarification here, but it's said in the movie that Madoka became trapped in Homura's fake world due to Kyubey, so it is the real one, just temporarily deprived of memories and powers (this may even be what gave Homura the idea to do this later as well). Sayaka and Nagisa were with Madoka when it happened; essentially, Madoka brought them with her from where dead Puella Magi reside. Nagisa says that she was just tagging along for fun, but for Sayaka it's probably that she wanted closure with Kyouko.

"T - The reason why we chose PSP was not because it could only be done in PSP but because we thought what game console is used by the people who watched Madoka." <3 <3 <3 --[[User:BrickBreak|BrickBreak]] 18:31, 11 August 2011 (UTC)
* ...And here I am stuck with the 3DS. 

On another note, would anyone translate the Famitsu article? I've heard some people say it mentions the possibility other characters become witches, and I'd like additional confirmation.-- [[User:Universalperson|Universalperson]] 00:23, 12 August 2011 (UTC)

== Trailer==
Trailer's been released: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_JJ1JLv3UCs&feature=player_embedded --[[User:CrownClown|CrownClown]] 03:25, 14 August 2011 (UTC)
:The second trailer is remade in the official web site. It contains more information than the previous C81 edition. [[User:Yorkwoo|Yorkwoo]] 16:09, 5 January 2012 (UTC)
::I'm courious that why Kouko can use Rosso Fantasma? Did't she lost that ability before the time point Homura can get back? [[User:Yorkwoo|Yorkwoo]] 00:39, 6 January 2012 (UTC)
:::It's possible you can help the girls change and recover to some degree, just like you can witchify them. Plus, this game also has Moemura, there's probably some sequences set in the past. --[[User:CrownClown|CrownClown]] 01:10, 6 January 2012 (UTC)

== Limited edition handkerchief ==
"The "HomuHomu Handkerchief" in the Limited Edition has the identical design as the one used in the anime scene where Homura folded out a handkerchief and sat on it. I really hope that people can share the feeling of Homura sitting on a handkerchief."

LOL Japan. Imagine what a creepy otaku could do with it. - [[User:Lord of the Kakapos|Lord of the Kakapos]] 10:09, 16 August 2011 (UTC)

== Website Updated ==
Just a heads up that the game's website updated. There doesn't seem to be anything important, but it might be worth keeping an eye on it anyway - I'm half-expecting witch cards. --[[User:Universalperson|Universalperson]] 13:38, 5 September 2011 (UTC)
*I'm expecting Witch cards soon as well. They did say there would be some new ones. [[User:SPDUDE48|SPDUDE48]] 10:39, 5 September 2011 (UTC)
* Okay, it's been updated again, and it ''looks'' like something's happening at the Tokyo Game Show next week. I'm not really sure. --[[User:Universalperson|Universalperson]] 18:44, 10 September 2011 (UTC)
:If there's anything worthwhile, I'll be posting it. --[[User:Randomanon|randomanon]] 18:47, 10 September 2011 (UTC)
::Nothing worth mentioning that I've seen at the Tokyo Game show. It is one of many games where a brief preview's shown on the screen, among a bunch of other previews for upcoming games. That's it. I can't even find a video of it, only some blurry pics not even worth posting. --[[User:Randomanon|randomanon]] 18:22, 17 September 2011 (UTC)

Welp, the site's been updated again, and it looks like a pretty big update. Not sure about everything, but under the section called "Application" there seems to be something about Mami blasting away at Charlotte.--[[User:Universalperson|Universalperson]] 14:22, 7 October 2011 (UTC)

I'm gonna guess that it's a mini-game that will be available on the site on a certain date. (in this case, 14 of October)--[[Special:Contributions/84.77.58.17|84.77.58.17]] 15:03, 7 October 2011 (UTC)

And the site is updated again. It looks like it's just a picture, and a picture of a keychain...but I can't tell who's on the keychain. It ''looks'' like Mami doing a Tiro Finale, but the colors are off. --[[User:Universalperson|Universalperson]] 13:00, 18 November 2011 (UTC)
:I can only see 2 newer special gift. One is a telephone card with Mami & Kyubey sleeping. The other is a keychain with an hourglass on it. Also it seem they provide a new version of game which supports iPad resolution now. But I cannot confirm it now. [[User:Yorkwoo|Yorkwoo]] 15:09, 18 November 2011 (UTC)

==Music==
What do we know about the music that will be used in the game? --[[User:Mutopis|Mutopis]] 00:55, 28 September 2011 (UTC)
:Nothing in particular. --[[User:Randomanon|randomanon]] 01:12, 28 September 2011 (UTC)

== Mami's Heart Pounding Tiro Finale ==

*I feel Charlotte's attack style is really dumb. I won't get hurt by it. I'm always beaten by familiars... [[User:Yorkwoo|Yorkwoo]] 17:50, 14 October 2011 (UTC)
**Besides the video on the website, are there any other videos of gameplay? --[[User:Universalperson|Universalperson]] 19:00, 14 October 2011 (UTC)

**** There's one [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DdZE3cjjwQQ here]. (No Charlotte, though.) [[User:Neuchadjinys|Neuchadjinys]] 04:37, 15 October 2011 (UTC)
*The game is commented badly as boring, monotonous, and dull. Some players commented it could be a paid game if it had been made funny. The pattern of enemy appearance is the same every time. [[User:Yorkwoo|Yorkwoo]] 22:32, 15 October 2011 (UTC)
** The first update is provided today. Charlotte now can make her diving attack on Mami. Familiars also attack with Charlotte. Now it's not that boring. [[User:Yorkwoo|Yorkwoo]] 14:24, 1 November 2011 (UTC)
*** Something also happens when 600 people think 140,000 points...I ''think''.
**** Yep. According to the website, it's... a cell phone background! Er, at least, I think that's what it means by "携帯待ち受けプレゼント". Something like that. [[User:Neuchadjinys|Neuchadjinys]] 22:56, 1 November 2011 (UTC)
[[File:Angry madokami psp fanart.jpg|right|200px|]]

*I have played both iPhone and Android versions. I played the iPhone version on an iPod touch (4th generation), and Android version on Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo. I feel the iPhone version more comfortable to play. Sometimes the enemy is moving and born too fast, and sometimes I feel it very show to shoot on Android version. [[User:Yorkwoo|Yorkwoo]] 07:54, 3 December 2011 (UTC)

:Suddenly I have some ideas about the game, although I won't expect they will do it. It seems there is some capability to expand more stages. Here are some imaginary stages I feel wonderful:
:* Gertrud. Mami is still protecting Madoka and Sayaka. The enemies are different style in both shape and form of attack.
:* Izabel. Mami and Madoka are protecting Homura. Madoka is controlled by CPU, or even better, controlled by 2P if some network gaming is available. But if Homura is got hit, then mission is failed.
:* Patricia. She is immune to both Mami's and Madoka's attack. Only Homura(as NPC) can defeat her. But You have to protect Homura from familiars first. As a magical girl, Homura(in Moemura form) can bear some hits, but not many. The direction is changed to vertical, and Patricia is at the highest point. Mami must jump on lines to reach her, and both Madoka and Homura will follow her. After the witch appears, there is a timer start counting down. Homura must not be killed before the timer reaching zero. After time up, Homura will automatically set the bomb to kill Patricia.
:But most likely they will only be in my imagination. [[User:Yorkwoo|Yorkwoo]] 17:00, 4 December 2011 (UTC)

* Oh no! I don't want to say 'I am such an idoit' when I get the PSP game. I have made a limited contract... [[User:Yorkwoo|Yorkwoo]] 09:03, 22 October 2011 (UTC)

*OK, I have updated this game and played it. I feel it buggy. I don't know how to choose Homura. I also can't use magic anymore. The magic meter is increasing indeed, but no matter how much it accmulated, I can't use magic! I always lose because the barrier protecting Madoka and Sayaka broken! Besides, it get harder in Ophelia's stage. [[User:Yorkwoo|Yorkwoo]] 01:59, 3 March 2012 (UTC)
:Finally I have found a way to use special attacks and defeated Ophelia. But I couldn't upload my result. I wonder it caused by blocking IP from outsides of Japan. Currently, when you have enough magic and want to use it, press the pause icon and choose the 2nd one. Then you returned to title. There is one additional button to continue. Choose continue and wait a little moment then you can use your special attack. I defeat Ophelia by repeating doing this way. [[User:Yorkwoo|Yorkwoo]] 04:11, 4 March 2012 (UTC)

[[File:MamiTiro_Astonishing_Image_preview.jpg|right|200px|]]
* There are over 2000 players cleared Ophelia's stage. The image which is said to be astonishing is partially revealed. Mami as singer? It seems NBGI have some plans related with Idol Master, which is also made into game by NBGI. [[User:Yorkwoo|Yorkwoo]] 02:15, 3 March 2012 (UTC)
: When you get the entire picture revealed, please post it! I'd love to see Mami as an idol! [[User:Silvermoon424|Silvermoon424]] 03:17, 3 March 2012 (UTC)
:: Yeah, I have uploaded it. They said details will be revealed in upcoming Dengeki PlayStation Vol.514.

*I just don't know why, but even I have already downloaded the file of the game, I still couldn't have it installed in my phone (Android). What should I do?! Someone rescue me please!!
[[User:Kyoko Hoshina|Kyoko Hoshina]] 08:12, 25 November 2012 (UTC)
: I downloaded it from play store. I need to switch to Japanese store, of course. --[[User:Yorkwoo|Yorkwoo]] 16:22, 25 November 2012 (UTC)

== Gameplay Mechanics Note ==
You know, this is insane ridiculous speculation, but the way the gameplay mechanics are described makes me think we ''might'' see a new character. Or alternatively, magical girl Hitomi. --[[User:Universalperson|Universalperson]] 00:02, 11 November 2011 (UTC)
:I hope so, too. [[User:Yorkwoo|Yorkwoo]] 00:10, 11 November 2011 (UTC)

== Madoka USA ==
This is just a thought, but I wonder since we have a following in America. If DVD and blu-ray sales show strong numbers, perhaps that could convince them to release the game in English, if they think there is a market for it? I am sure localizing a game is not easy but Madoka does has some recognition in the US, albeit not sure how strong it is, but surely the numbers must be good enough to justify to chance it... Of course the gameplay must be good enough too.--[[User:Mutopis|Mutopis]] 00:20, 21 November 2011 (UTC)

== Kyouko's School Uniform ==
Ok, there is the artwork but now the character profile, seems to indicate she goes to the same school like the other characters. What are we going to do regarding this information?... --[[User:Mutopis|Mutopis]] 08:30, 28 December 2011 (UTC)
:Nothing, because we don't know the story behind it. She's been in a school uniform in the official art for the game (the teaparty box cover) for a while now, but we don't know why. --[[User:Randomanon|randomanon]] 08:49, 28 December 2011 (UTC)
::Maybe she will transfer into Mitakihara Middle school if some condition met, just as Kyousuke being a guitarist. Who knows. BTW, there are something new on their official web site but I cannot view bigger images of something like Mami's witch form. Is there anyone having the same problem? [[User:Yorkwoo|Yorkwoo]] 16:47, 29 December 2011 (UTC)
::I also have problems only with those images. I thought it's because I can run the latest version of Adobe Flash Player for technical reasons in my current set-up, but maybe it's a problem on their side afterall. --[[User:Randomanon|randomanon]] 19:50, 29 December 2011 (UTC)

== Translated script ==

A rather straightforward question: Think there'll be one? If this was for PC, no doubt a patch would be out fairly quick, but seeing as it's for PSP, that's not an option... --[[User:BrickBreak|BrickBreak]] 21:30, 8 January 2012 (UTC)
:It typically takes a long time (years) for a patch to come out. I expect because tri4 has committed to it, that Madoka will be faster than most. It's possible too they may be willing to let out a transcript before the game integration if asked nicely. Still, you're looking at months. --[[User:Randomanon|randomanon]] 21:56, 8 January 2012 (UTC)
::I used to be in the PSP homebrew scene, kinda lost my track though. Perhaps that's why I wasn't considering a patch an option. Uh. Well, doubt I'll manage to hold back on playing anyway, but thanks. --[[User:BrickBreak|BrickBreak]] 02:28, 9 January 2012 (UTC)
:::Yeah, it could be patched like with Idolm@ster. Best way to know is ask tri4 directly since they're the ones translating it. --[[User:Randomanon|randomanon]] 07:36, 9 January 2012 (UTC)
::::Know if anyone translated the menu/interface? As a veteran gamer and a biology student, I'll carry on suing a scientific approach which I'm sure you can guess (hey, worked for Initial D), but... --[[User:BrickBreak|BrickBreak]] 17:59, 16 March 2012 (UTC)

==Dobokeru==
"Dobokeru" can mean daze, but since this is Kyubey, wouldn't it make more sense to use the other definition, "deceive"? He does have a history of pretending to not know the truth now and then. It just seems a little more in character for him. [[User:Honeykiss|Honeykiss]] 16:33, 27 January 2012 (UTC)
:Again, I don't know many words in English. It is possible that I can't make clear the difference among those words. So please have them fixed if you find more proper words. [[User:Yorkwoo|Yorkwoo]] 16:54, 27 January 2012 (UTC)

==Names==
One quick question, does anyone know if the game will reveal the name of Mami's parents or of Kyoko's? It is probably a long shot in the dark but if we are dealing with some of the girls routes one can never know, but what the hell may as well just ask... --[[User:Mutopis|Mutopis]] 13:46, 4 February 2012 (UTC)

==Game Difficulty==
[[File:Is this a game or is this hell.jpg|right|300px|thumb|There is no evidence to suggest that Gen Urobuchi messed with the difficult settings, then again...]]
Some sources say that the game is difficult to beat, is there some reliable way to determine this, also what kind of difficult settings are there? --[[User:Mutopis|Mutopis]] 14:12, 14 March 2012 (UTC)
:I'm betting the source of OP information is the Not-Ayase blog. The blog contains too much misinformation to be a reliable source. I've watched a player playthrough of the first loop in UST (to about beginning of episode 6 of anime) and from few play impression in 2ch, the game doesn't seems ''that'' hard but you have to be very careful, for example:
:*Any actions can raise Emotion Points.
:*SG can become muddy easier if the point is high.
:*You can't use GS to cleanse a completely mudded SG.
:*You can't use any skill that uses MP if SG is completely mudded.
:*Recovery items are rare.
:*It's impossible to know when to press Q-button.
:*If you're surrounded by 4 familiars, turns will be "You -> Familiar -> Familiar -> Familiar -> Familiar".
:I never heard anything about half-witch mode, though. The producer said game is designed so you can get into Witch route easily but the game will become easier as you play it more since Karma Points directly reflects default statuses at the start of game. --[[User:0x99|0x99]] 15:34, 14 March 2012 (UTC)
:I watch the video and think it is turn-based. You take one turn no matter move or attack, and all enemies also take one turn each. If many enemies are around you, you will get multiple hits. So you have to think some smart way to move to prevent such situation. That makes me remember about the original Ultima. --[[User:Yorkwoo|Yorkwoo]] 15:38, 14 March 2012 (UTC)

== Just a heads up ==

To anyone playing from the Memory Stick, the game freezes after talking to Homura on the bridge and going to the city map. Gotta wait for a patch. --[[User:BrickBreak|BrickBreak]] 12:03, 16 March 2012 (UTC)
:Please refer to [http://archive.foolz.us/a/thread/62778912/#62781688 this thread] for workarounds. --[[User:Randomanon|randomanon]] 13:02, 16 March 2012 (UTC)
::I did see that before, just... ugh, that'd be annoying, and knowing myself, veeeeery prone for forgetfulness. Then again, how could I expect not to suffer with this game? --[[User:BrickBreak|BrickBreak]] 13:21, 16 March 2012 (UTC)
:::Make sure to convert to CSO first. That will save you from the tutorial freezes. --[[User:Randomanon|randomanon]] 17:26, 16 March 2012 (UTC)
::::Yeah, I did that, it's running smooth. Still freezes on video sequences though, gotta skip them - hopefully, they're nothing but clips from the anime. --[[User:BrickBreak|BrickBreak]] 15:05, 17 March 2012 (UTC)
:::::Another method would be to set the PSP to sleep Mode before a specific part of the game freezes. I have yet to attempt this for the part where Mami first reveals to Sayaka and Madoka what a Grief Seed does. [[Special:Contributions/188.221.222.125|188.221.222.125]] 09:10, 19 March 2012 (UTC)

== About spoiler in PSP game ==
I heard many players got a lot of bad endings. It might not be proper to write them in the game page since there are too much information there. Is there any plan for these? --[[User:Yorkwoo|Yorkwoo]] 16:50, 16 March 2012 (UTC)
:My suggestion, make a new page with a spoiler heading. This will be a subpage for PSP Game Endings. Then provide a short description of what it is and a link to it from the main PSP game page. --[[User:Randomanon|randomanon]] 17:25, 16 March 2012 (UTC)
:Since PSP game is separated into chapters, better create new page with title something like [[Madoka Magica Portable Chapter 1: As If We Met in a Dream...]] (suggestion) and put information related to PSP game there. See [[Talk:Main Page]] for more info about reorganizing. --[[User:0x99|0x99]] 18:18, 16 March 2012 (UTC)
::I'm not sure, routes might make more sense. That's how the Japanese wiki is separating them. So far I only really know about the Madoka Kaname route which is basically a tutorial one. Very straight-forward, closely follows anime, not many choices but apparently always ends with Madoka contracting to save Sayaka and Homura resets. --[[User:Randomanon|randomanon]] 19:16, 16 March 2012 (UTC)
:::I think it still make sense to have a separate page for each route (chapters) though, we can always put information such as possible routes within chapter, Q-button timing, and such in it in an organized manner. --[[User:0x99|0x99]] 19:21, 16 March 2012 (UTC)
::::Yes, separate pages is good, I'm suggesting routes rather than chapters, as that's how the game does it. Plus, you have to finish the Madoka Kaname route first, then I think some other routes (not sure on the exact parameters) before you can do the Homura route. Only then can you unlock the bonus route. The Japanese wiki also separates by days and morning/noon/evening for time period (it is 30 days to Walpurgis in all routes) since that's what you see at the top of the map screen. It's easier to track than chapters. --[[User:Randomanon|randomanon]] 19:32, 16 March 2012 (UTC)
:::::Hmm, I still want to use the official "title" for each routes (that's why I'm calling it chapter). For example, "As If We Met Met in a Dream..." for Madoka route, "Only If You Are By My Side" for Mami's route, etc. --[[User:0x99|0x99]] 19:39, 16 March 2012 (UTC)
::::::I see. I thought you were using them to refer to episodes rather than character routes...since the Madoka route goes to roughly ep. 8 and I think the rest of the routes go to ep. 12. --[[User:Randomanon|randomanon]] 19:45, 16 March 2012 (UTC)
:::::::Yeah, seems like Madoka's route is the only one with a fixed ending. I've asked my friend to list <strike>first three</strike> all chapters in the game:

::::::In my opinion, it's better to use something like 'Someone's Route' as title because it is easier to understand and search. Also the title can be shorten. I suggest the "official title" to be subtitle in those pages. --[[User:Yorkwoo|Yorkwoo]] 02:33, 17 March 2012 (UTC)
:::::::The reason I want to put full title in the page name because of consistency (so game, manga, anime, etc. uses the same format). --[[User:0x99|0x99]] 15:43, 17 March 2012 (UTC)
::::::::I'm confused by this because that's not how the pages are named. Anime episode pages are just "Episode 1" not "Episode 1: As if We Met in A Dream", they don't have the full name. Ditto for manga subpages, they also have short names. It still seems confusing to me to name pages for the game after episodic titles, when the game is divided into routes. --[[User:Randomanon|randomanon]] 15:52, 17 March 2012 (UTC)
:::::::::I'm referring to the reorganization plan in the [[Talk:Main Page]]. The game is divide into multiple routes with title for each routes (see above), you have to select the route you want to play right when the game starts. --[[User:0x99|0x99]] 17:22, 17 March 2012 (UTC)

== Homura's Majo ==

This is mentioned in 2ch, but [[:File:Homulilly.jpg|"HOMULILLY"]] (click to see) seems to be Homura's Majo. Her Majo is represented with a disc on the top with infinite sign. Her witch type is {{Nihongo|此岸の魔女|Shigan no Majō}} which basically means "Witch of Mortal World" (i.e. the opposite of [[wikipedia:Higan|Higan]]). Witch runes below reads "Game Over". I'm not sure how reliable this is, can anyone who've played (or have access to special BD/DVD with unlock codes) confirm? --[[User:0x99|0x99]] 18:27, 16 March 2012 (UTC)
:I saw this on 2ch and it seemed like people weren't taking it seriously...which makes me think along with the name which is clearly a joke, that it's probably a fan shop. Unfortunately, I'm pretty busy so I won't personally be getting to the Homu route for a couple days at least, to verify. --[[User:Randomanon|randomanon]] 20:01, 16 March 2012 (UTC)
::Possibly because they're trying to avoid spoilers. I've found someone mentions HOMULILLY do exists in the DVD/BD special (unlock required), but you can't fight with her (the game is Game Over instantly) so there's no witch card for her. Will probably have to wait few days for confirmation. --[[User:0x99|0x99]] 20:09, 16 March 2012 (UTC)

::::That's the problem—nature and description are in witch card (like the one for [[:File:ITZLI_info.jpg|Itzli]]) which appears after you defeat the witch but you can't defeat Homulilly in the game. (Also I found it pretty funny her witch name is literally {{Nihongo|"Homu Yuri"|ほむ百合}}, which make it even more confusing whether this is real or fake.) --[[User:0x99|0x99]] 20:20, 16 March 2012 (UTC)

:::::::Doujins where?! --[[User:Mutopis|Mutopis]] 02:29, 17 March 2012 (UTC)
:OK, I was able to verify where it's from. It's from an unlocked (therefore not hidden) gallery of Inu-Curry. If you look [[:File:PSP Inu Curry Art Gallery.jpg|here]], the first two images show the menu screens. The remainder are examples of what's in the gallery. There's images that are work-in-progress designs and some that look surreal enough they may just be art designs, that are not actually in the game. The Production Note had that where some of Inu Curry real designs were right next to pages of designs that never made it into the anime. Unfortunately, it's impossible to know without seeing whether it's in the game then. Thinking about it more though, it's probably going to be in the game but well, I'm still not sure if it isn't more of a joke than anything else. But it's an official joke! --[[User:Randomanon|randomanon]] 22:09, 16 March 2012 (UTC)

*Homulilly according with 4chan comments:

Homura’s witch, Homulilly:

>It’s a record player with the infinity symbol under it, inside an hourglass.

>It says “Unable to move foward, the witch continuously spins and spins like a broken record, repeating the same sound over and over again for all eternity.”

==Comments from 4chan==
'''Note: There are factual inaccuracies among these comments, some completely made up by an unreliable source.'''

More commentary from Japanese fans:
*I like how Madoka kind of tossed away Sayaka’s and Hitomi’s friendship for Homura.
*Kyubey also states that Madoka may want to protect others, but her true emotion and reason was because she’s able to protect and watch over helpless Homura and spend her daily life with her.

Ok, I can buy Madoka tossing Sayaka's friendship over Homura if certain conditions changed the nature of Madoka and Sayaka's friendship... but the second part? I swear, is like they wanted to make a yuri VN... --[[User:Mutopis|Mutopis]] 12:56, 17 March 2012 (UTC)

[[File:What is this i dont even.jpg|right|300px|thumb|It came from the internet. I am sure it is reliable.]]
"I am going through the comments from 4chan and picking up what seems believable, I wish there was a way to quickly verify some of these:" --[[User:Mutopis|Mutopis]] 09:15, 18 March 2012 (UTC)

*The option of saving Mami from Charlotte is the one where you retreat and secretly follow her. In other words, Mami won't let you come along no matter what.
**Once Mami is saved, Mami tells Homura she’s sorry she doubted her all this time, and tells her inner feelings towards Madoka and Sayaka about being lonely. Mami and Homura form a friendship. Along the days you can watch scenes where Mami invites Homura over and gives her cake and talks about her family’s death.

*H.N. Elly - Homura finds Madoka and saves her from the witch, instead of Sayaka, since she hasn’t contracted. • Next, is now Sayaka. Homura wants to prevent Sayaka from contracting, watching Sayaka in the shadows and grieving over Kyousuke on how he cant play the violin. Homura greets Sayaka at the hospital who’s taking to Kamijou.
**Believe in Sayaka, and explain everything that’s going on about Sayaka to Madoka. — Sayaka doesn’t contract. She gets mad at kyuubey and rejects his contract. Next day, Hitomi says her father’s close friend is an American surgeon who figured out a way to heal Kamijou’s hands. Sayaka confesses to Kyousuke before Kyousuke goes to America for his surgery. Kyousuke accepts her feelings, and thanks her. Sayaka doesn’t become a Puella Magi, never meets Kyouko, and lives on a happy life.

*Homura now meets Kyouko. She invites Kyouko over to her house and forms a partnership to fight against Walpurgisnacht. Kyouko meets Mami, her old friend, but the two hate each over due to past disputes.
**Homura calms the two and persuades them to make up and become friends again. The two talk about right strategies against Walpurgis.

*Over the course of days, since Sayaka grows insanely distant from Madoka, since she spends almost all of her time with Kamijou, Madoka begins to feel extremely lonely.
**She invites Homura over, or goes out with Homura with all the chances she gets. Homura tries to decline because she beleives that if she becomes too close to Madoka, Madoka would want to protect her and contract with Kyuubey. But her emotions get in the way, and she can’t bear to see Madoka sad, and ultimately cannot reject.
***Later that night, Kyuubey, who had almost no role, sneaks into Madoka’s house, and explains everything about the Puella Magi cycle. Madoka, shocked, leaves her house in the middle of the night and goes to see Homura. Madoka and Homura have a talk, and repeat episode 11 where Homura hugs Madoka, etc.

[[File:Everyone hates kyousuke.jpg|right|thumb|Everyone hates Kyousuke... boy, if the story is true...]]

>Ending 1a - If Homura fights alone, or with Kyouko, or with Kyouko and Mami and not the full party, the game will take it as if she fought in the anime timeline-ish kind of. Madoka will contract with Kyuubey, become Ultimate Madoka, and rewrite the world with her powers and delete Witches from Existence.

>Though UNCONFIRMED, but on most of the 2ch players say that you can fight demons, in the wasteland. You fight them endlessly until you die. Ultimate Madoka comes and Saves Homura and revives her. Using the power of all the despair she consumed until now throughout the timelines. Madoka is able to hold only a tiny fragment of existence, and materializes by using the negative energy and Homura’s memories of her, and stays by Homura’s side forever, like a ghost-ish thing. She is only visible to Homura.

>Ending 1b - Everyone participates in Walpurgis, except Madoka. Just the beginning event scene is different than 1a, still the outcome is the same

>Ending 2 - Homura defeats Walpurgis all by herself. Horray, Madoka is saved, Good job. Now go make super homu love to her.

>Secret - {{spoiler|If everyone else dies first and Homura last, on the top floor. Homura turns into a witch, the universe ends, since all possibility and hope becomes absolutely and completely lost.}}

:I never heard of anyone getting this "secret" route. I'm assuming it's another Not-Ayase made-up story. All reports from 2ch I've seen so far only mentions you will always end up getting anime's ending (whether Homura fights alone, Mami & Kyouko alive or not, etc.) About the demons, you will only have to fight with it until the ending music (Connect) ends. There's nothing about her dying, etc. --[[User:0x99|0x99]] 12:02, 18 March 2012 (UTC)

:::: Seriously, there is only those 3 endings? How could it be possible for Homura to defeat Walpurgis alone and yet she failed when with the others? (*smack my face* stupid question, the game developer and Gen are screwing us). I am kind of dumbfound that the endings is as if trying to "ask" us to wait for the continuation of Puella Magi's 3rd movie where it will pick up from what's left of the anime. (*sorry for ranting*) Refering to the demons, perhaps it is still not possible to get that kind of ending, maybe it is a DLC or requires unlocking of special password. You never know what they had for everyone especially when the 3rd movie is not out and putting into the game might spoil the whole ending for the game. Well, just a speculah and not to be taken seriously. [[User:Demonicslayer|Demonicslayer]] 13:59, 18 March 2012 (UTC)
:::: OK, here is demons: [[:File:MadoPSP Demons.jpg]]. While you can fight with them, they won't fight you back, you're force to use only Magic Arrow skill, you can't die here, it ends right after Connect ends. --[[User:0x99|0x99]] 15:44, 18 March 2012 (UTC)

::Probably this part in Homura's route page:
::<blockquote>「ワルプルギスの夜」本体と対峙する（HPゲージが表示される）最下層で「敗北」すると、ほむらが魔女化する。ただし、ゲームオーバーの前にイラストが1枚表示されるだけで、魔女図鑑への登録およびイラストを後で見ることはできない。特典ディスクのギャラリーに全く同じイラストが収録されているので、鑑賞はこちらで（「○○の魔女」の名前もこちらで明かされている）。</blockquote>
::It says if you lost to Walpurgis after the HP gauge is shown, the illustration of Homulilly will be shown before the Game Over message. However this illustration won't appear in Majo Zukan or CG Gallery but you can see it later in special DVD. Rough translations:
::<blockquote>When confronting with Walpurgis main body (HP gauge is shown), if you are "Defeated" in the lowest level, Homura will become a witch. However only one illustration will be shown right before Game Over; it won't gets registered to Majo Zukan and you can't watch it later. Gallery in the special DVD has exactly the same illustration, watch it here if you want (her "witch of x" name is revealed in [the illustration in the game].)</blockquote>

鹿目まどか：
マミさんも、CDだすし……
さやかちゃんも、恭介君といい感じだし
杏子ちゃんも、さやかちゃんと仲がいい。

鹿目まどか：
皆、いろいろ変わっていくんだね……
わたしは、何が変わったんだろう？

暁美ほむら：
何か、変わりたいの？

鹿目まどか：
ほむらちゃん……。
またいつの間に……。

暁美ほむら：
そこは気にしないで
で、まどかは変わりたいの？

鹿目まどか：
変わりたいというか、変わらなきゃいけないような気がしてるだけかも。

鹿目まどか：
だった、わたしには、何になりたいって気持ちがないんだよ。
マミさんやさやかちゃんや、杏子ちゃんみたいに。

鹿目まどか：
でも、それを見てるだけって
なんだかつらいなぁって。

鹿目まどか：
わたし……
『魔法少女になりたい』しか無くって
魔法少女になったから……。

鹿目まどか：
魔法少女しかできない女の子って駄目なのかなぁ。

鹿目まどか：
今、皆が楽しそうにやってることが羨ましいだけなのかなぁ。

鹿目まどか：
わたし、魔法少女以外のこと何もできないから。
ドジで、のろまで……駄目な女の子だし。

暁美ほむら：
そんなこと無い！

〈SLAP〉

鹿目まどか：
きゃっ。

暁美ほむら：
まどか、あなたは、ドジでのろまで……
とっても可愛い魔法少女よ
それ以外、なにを求めてるの！！

鹿目まどか：
それ……褒めてないよ……。

暁美ほむら：
私は、私は、あなたに
何度も何度も……だから
あなたは、あなたのままで……。

暁美ほむら：
何も変わらず、今のままで……
自信を持って！！

暁美ほむら：
あなたは……あなたはね……
私にとって大事な大切な人なの。
あなたは覚えてないかもしれないけど。

鹿目まどか：
あのね、ほむらちゃん。
よくわかんないけど
なんとなく、わかったような気がするよ。

暁美ほむら：
ありがとう……よくわかってないのに
いきなり叩いちゃってゴメンね。

鹿目まどか：
ううん、大丈夫。
ほむらちゃんはわたしに
いろいろ伝えようとしてるんだね。

鹿目まどか：
たぶん、わたしが悪いんだろうなってそう思う。
……でもね、１つだけ、いいかな？

暁美ほむら：
なに？

鹿目まどか：
……ドジでのろまはね
ちょっと否定して欲しかったかなって。

暁美ほむら：〈即答〉
ゴメン……。

鹿目まどか：
やっぱり、わたし
ほむらちゃんに、そう思われてたんだね。

暁美ほむら：
え、あ、うーん……。

〈まどかの感情値が２０増加した。〉

Madoka: Mami-san's going to release a CD... Everything's going great for Sayaka-chan with Kyousuke-kun, too, and Kyouko-chan is getting along with Sayaka-chan.

Madoka: Everyone is changing in lots of ways... but what's changed for me?

Homura: Do you want to change something?

Madoka: Homura-chan... When did you...?

Homura: Never mind that. So, do you want to change, Madoka?

Madoka: I think maybe it's less like I want to change than like I feel like I have to change.

Madoka: See, there's nothing that I really want to be. Not like Mami-san, Sayaka-chan, or Kyouko-chan.

Madoka: But it's kind of hard just watching that.

Madoka: Because I... became a magical girl with nothing but "I want to be a magical girl"...

Madoka: I guess a girl who can't do anything except being a magical girl is no good.

Madoka: I guess I'm jealous of everyone seeming like they're having so much fun right now.

Madoka: I can't do anything at all besides being a magical girl. I'm a clumsy, slow... useless girl.

Homura: That's not true!

(slap)

Madoka: Kya!

Homura: Madoka, you're a clumsy and slow... and absolutely adorable magical girl! What else do you want?!

Madoka: That... isn't a compliment...

Homura: I... I... you.... over and over... That's why you have to stay you...

Homura: Never change, the way you are now... Have confidence in yourself!!

Homura: You... You're... someone very important and precious to me. Even though you may not remember.

Madoka: Um, Homura-chan. I don't really understand, but I think I kind of get it anyway.

Homura: Thank you... I'm sorry for hitting you even though you don't really understand.

Madoka: No, it's okay. You're just trying to get things across to me.

Madoka: I think it's probably my fault... But can I say just one thing?

Homura: What?

Madoka: ... I did want you to deny that I'm clumsy and slow, a little.

Homura: (automatically) I'm sorry...

Madoka: I knew it, you really do think that about me.

Homura: Uh, um, well...

(Madoka's emotion value increased 20 points)

== Regarding Kyousuke Hate==
[[File:Sayaka so called friends monster psp.jpg|right|thumb|so these are Sayaka's friends...]]
I am hearing that there is some hate regarding the character. We need to verify how extensive it is, but also we need to know what is the general reaction and explain why so we can add it to the page explaining the cause, also there was a mention that the hate is huge in 2chan that it created several threads, we need a screen shot of one example (if possible) and a translation with it so it can be added to the Kyousuke page (perhaps fans will forget their hatred of Hitomi after this...) --[[User:Mutopis|Mutopis]] 23:34, 18 March 2012 (UTC)
:Hmm, is this related to Kyousuke calling Sayaka "monster" in Sayaka's routes? --[[User:0x99|0x99]] 23:37, 18 March 2012 (UTC)
::I heard that was one reason, something about how he called her a monster and all that, and the fans reacted negatively about it... --[[User:Mutopis|Mutopis]] 23:41, 18 March 2012 (UTC)
How did you get Kyousuke to call Sayaka a monster? When I saved them, they did not remember anything as they fainted and Sayaka and Kyouko escaped. They do remember hearing Sayaka's voice saying that she was a hero of justice though but they dismissed it thinking they were just dreaming. Are there any specific conditions that should be met in order for Kyousuke to call her a monster? O.o
:I got the same result as you, but we've seen a [[http://images.puella-magi.net/9/93/Dengeki_PlayStation_2012-02_01.JPG screenshot]] in a magazine that shows he calls her that under some circumstance where he sees her as a magical girl with Kyouko. I am unable to find that scene though. --[[User:Randomanon|randomanon]] 09:06, 24 March 2012 (UTC)
::You get the better result when Sayaka's soul gem is not that tainted. Then she will escape from her fate to become Oktavia. --[[User:Yorkwoo|Yorkwoo]] 10:54, 24 March 2012 (UTC)
:::Sayaka doesn't want to save Kyousuke and Hitomi at first, but Kyoko says she should do that. After she saved them, however, they call her monster rather than thank her. This is what happens in Sayaka's route if she become a witch. I personally link it to the third timeline.
--[[User:Yorkwoo|Yorkwoo]] 23:58, 18 March 2012 (UTC)
::::Yes, but I am trying to get the fan reaction regarding that scene. Do fans now dislike Kyousuke even more after that? I am trying to gauge the fan reaction to it... --[[User:Mutopis|Mutopis]] 05:22, 19 March 2012 (UTC)
::::There's also this Sayaka's body rotten (another Gem-throwing, thank you Madoka), Kyouko found her Gem then Kyousuke got to see Sayaka alive in her rotten body and call her "Monster". I guess the writer is reincarnation of satan or something. --[[User:0x99|0x99]] 00:06, 19 March 2012 (UTC)
:::::<big>UROBUCHI!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!</big>--[[User:Mutopis|Mutopis]] 05:20, 19 March 2012 (UTC)
:::::: I guess in the end, Urobuchi still has a lot of hate to throw into Sayaka. Pity Sayaka that she has to go through that many difficulties in life in such a short moment in every timeline. Even if Sayaka gets a happy end with Kyouske, she still has no happy ending in the end. Surprisingly, Madoka (again?) done that gem-throwing thing in another timeline... Though I do not really hate Kyousuke, but it definitely hurt to be called a 'monster' when being a 'zombie' is bad enough. But it is quite natural in some way that Human always despise others with great power, just like X-Men. From the looks, Sayaka would be better off with Madoka in the ethereal world or we might see "G-Uro"-"butcher" trying to make her suffer in the 3rd movie again... sigh... [[User:Demonicslayer|Demonicslayer]] 08:15, 19 March 2012 (UTC)
:::::::Speaking of a "happy" end with Kyousuke... there is one in this game, isn't there? (Or is such an end only possible if Sayaka does not contract as a magical girl?) i.e., if she becomes a magical girl, Kyosuke's a lost cause for her no matter what?) This scene makes me think there's such a "good" end... http://wiki.puella-magi.net/File:Picture_12.png [[User:Animerican-Redeemed|Animerican-Redeemed]] 21:19, 20 March 2012 (UTC)
::::::::There is one in a bonus route. --[[User:0x99|0x99]] 22:36, 20 March 2012 (UTC)
:::::::::I am surprised Urobuchi gave her one... --[[User:Mutopis|Mutopis]] 01:54, 21 March 2012 (UTC)
::::::::::I am not that surprised since it's Urobuchi's suggestion to make bonus route unrelated to the story in anime. --[[User:Yorkwoo|Yorkwoo]] 16:17, 21 March 2012 (UTC)
In Sayaka's route, please do not blame Madoka for throwing Sayaka's soul gem. It is Sayaka herself throw out the soul gem. Mami Stopped the fighting between her and Kyoko, then all 3 of them are sucked into Charlotte's barrier. Mami called Sayaka and Kyoko to escape, but Sayaka, who did't want to leave Mami alone, insisted staying there, and then Mami got the same fate as in anime... Knowing she is too weak to protect others, Sayaka threw her soul gem to dismiss her magical girl duty after quiting the barrier with Kyoko. The gem got into the barrier and moved away so she lost it. Madoka and Homura then came and saw a soulless Sayaka. Kyubey told them to get her soul gem back in 2 days or Sayaka may die forever. Again, Kyoko use her magic to keep Sayaka's body. Madoka and Homura went out to find her gem. --[[User:Yorkwoo|Yorkwoo]] 15:43, 23 March 2012 (UTC)
: My mistake. Thanks for clarifying the whole incident happening in that route. Well, I thought what 0x99 said about 'thank you Madoka' meant that Madoka was the one who thrown it. Perhaps I misinterpreted the whole thing said there. Honto Gomenasai, Madoka (and all the Madoka fans). Another thing that caught my attention, is from my guess, in fact that this scene happened only in Homura's route, perhaps meant that Sayaka was never really given a chance for 'happy ending'. Since the Homura's route was meant to give a happy ending, yet twisting the story into a Homura Magica (since Madoka never become a magical girl), I am wondering if the story was meant to appease Homura's fans. Lastly, I am wondering if the words 'my wish, my prayer' was actually the wish that Homura hoped for since it is from Homura's perspective... [[User:Demonicslayer|Demonicslayer]] 18:56, 24 March 2012 (UTC)

== Homura's route happy ending ==

I heard that if you defeat Walpurgis with Homura, Mami, Kyouko and Sayaka alive ''without'' anybody becoming a witch '''and''' without Madoka contracting, you will get the [[:File:PSP_Game_Scan_Nov_2011_Possibly_Megami.jpg|tea party]] ending instead of anime's ending one. There have been many reports in 2ch that this is true. Can anyone confirm it? --[[User:0x99|0x99]] 23:56, 18 March 2012 (UTC)
:I also heard someone written about this. This should be reliable. --[[User:Yorkwoo|Yorkwoo]] 00:05, 19 March 2012 (UTC)
:Yes, confirmed. --[[User:Randomanon|randomanon]] 08:57, 24 March 2012 (UTC)
I tried getting the good end after playing Mami's route the first time (she became a witch because of this Homura's route was unlocked without first doing Kyoko's and Sayaka's) and it seems like you first have to finish Kyoko's route without her becoming a witch because when you've to make the choice whether to go and look for her with Mami, Madoka or Kyoko, you can only choose Kyoko's if you've finished her route without her becoming a witch. I'm not sure if that's not a bug though :\ ([[User:Oblivion|Oblivion]] 22:21, 3 June 2012 (UTC))
:No, this is intended. --[[User:SayakaVonSeckendorff|SayakaVonSeckendorff]] 23:22, 3 June 2012 (UTC)

== Is this ending on the PSP game real or fake? ==

http://tieba.baidu.com/p/1465010085?pn=1 <--a link to a Chinese forum which said it is the good end of the game with a picture which five of them sitting together and having a party with a line "This is my prayer, my wish..." above and comments from the poster that "[In the ending,] homura, mami, kyouko, and sayaka cooperate to beaten w. night successfully and then they including madoka held party in mami's home, and even sayaka "force" kyoko to get on school, uniform, wht a 癒し ending" (*sorry for my poor English.)
Is the above material truely the good end of the game?[[User:C933103|C933103]] 16:44, 20 March 2012 (UTC)
:Yes. Requires Madoka to not making contract with Mami, Sayaka, Kyouko and Homura defeating Walpurgis together. In Japanese board they are callibg this お茶会エンド (tea party ending). -[[User:0x99|0x99]] 20:54, 20 March 2012 (UTC)
::But as according to that CHinese forum post, it said it is required to 1.in homura line 2.avoid mami dead and 3.let sayaka made contract and 4.prevent she from becoming witches and 5.successfully beaten w. night to get to the ending.......[[User:C933103|C933103]] 05:24, 21 March 2012 (UTC)

===Homu Sad End===
''Homura's end where she fights Walpurgis solo was like a depressing doujin ending. She dies in Madoka's arms, glad she could finally save her. Madoka doesn't contract and it's the end. Course the route is completely terrible with Sayaka going witch and dead, Mami suiciding, Kyouko gone home and presumably depressed over losing Mami and Sayaka. Now that I think about, I'm not sure I've read a Madoka doujin that was that depressing.'' -

I have never heard this ending before. So Homura defeats Walpurgis on her own, doesnt become a witch, and dies on Madoka's arm without her contracting with Kyubey? Can someone verify this? --[[User:Mutopis|Mutopis]] 06:54, 26 March 2012 (UTC)
:Never heard anything about it. --[[User:0x99|0x99]] 08:23, 26 March 2012 (UTC)

::I have watched [http://www.tudou.com/programs/view/e8K9mnErTh8/?resourceId=28860455_06_02_99?fr=2 some video] playing this ending. But I'm not sure it is unmodified. I my self haven't gone that far yet. --[[User:Yorkwoo|Yorkwoo]] 15:51, 26 March 2012 (UTC)
:::Thanks for the video. Ah, that explains the mysterious Homura's event CG (see below). Gotta try it, I wonder if there's any special condition beyond having Homura fight Walpurgis alone?

'''Another Ending'''
You can go here for [http://www.mediafire.com/?49p5jwnpa62hs4d screenshots] of another Homura route ending where Mami is dead, Sayaka doesn't contract, Kyoko and Homura successfully defeat Walpurgis and Madoka doesn't contract. --[[User:Randomanon|randomanon]] 08:22, 29 March 2012 (UTC)

== Kyoko Route:speculah ==
Well, apparently Kyoko's route is very depressing. Apparently instead of paper cutouts they actually showed the graphic aftermath of Kyoko's father gone mad... I find it odd they went one way in the anime and another way in the game... --[[User:Mutopis|Mutopis]] 02:15, 21 March 2012 (UTC)

It seems like in the Kyoko route, she made a grave for Mami... I feel like despair... --[[User:Mutopis|Mutopis]] 02:15, 21 March 2012 (UTC)

::I am not certain, but apparently it has to do with Oktavia. If Kyouko and Madoka try to save Sayaka/Oktavia but Homura gets there before them, she kills Oktavia. Kyouko in the good end calms down but in the bad end loses it and goes witch. --[[User:Mutopis|Mutopis]] 06:47, 21 March 2012 (UTC)

Do we have a lot of information regarding her background? I heard it was very sad, we need to add any new information to Kyoko's page in the PSP subsection to indicate it is new information. Also, since it is related to the Drama CD, Farewell Story, we need to add a subsection there to indicate the new information taht the drama cd didn't cover...

==Gisela==
I thought Gisela was defeated by Kyoko in the flash back. Is this an oversight or does the game explains what happened? --[[User:Mutopis|Mutopis]] 06:02, 27 March 2012 (UTC)
:The same witches appear in different routes and are defeated by different magical girls. As to why, I have no idea. --[[User:Randomanon|randomanon]] 06:14, 27 March 2012 (UTC)
::It would be really odd, unless it slipped from their minds that Gisela had an encounter with Kyoko in the past (which happened during the events of the Drama CD, prior to Homura's hospital stay). Unless we are to assume somehow Kyoko failed to kill Gisela or Gisela escaped from Kyoko's attack... (I just re-watched ep 7 BD, while she does fight Gisela in a badass way and seems like she is winning, it is ambiguous enough to say with certainty if Kyoko killed her or not...) --[[User:Mutopis|Mutopis]] 09:11, 27 March 2012 (UTC)
:::Not really, there's several easy explanations I can think of off-hand. One, in different timelines, events play out differently so girls become witches at different times and get killed by different magical girls. We see that with Oktavia in the anime. Even past events before Homura timestop varies, like with Kyousuke being a violinist in one and a guitarist in another. The other explanation is with the game, they chose to re-use existing witches rather than make more witches, or they didn't care about continuity between game routes. Please note this is speculation on my part and don't think we can know the answer. The reason is not stated in the game, which is why my answer was: '''I don't know.''' --[[User:Randomanon|randomanon]] 09:19, 27 March 2012 (UTC)

BEHOLD, THE BOLD TEXT OF OBVIOUSNESS: familiars become Witches. Kyoko does not destroy familiars because it's a waste until they feed. Therefore, even if Kyoko destroyed "the original" Gisela (if it was even the original) it is entirely plausible ones of its familiars got away, fed, and became a new Gisela.

:FYI, This occurs in the past, when Kyoko did destroy familiars. She didn't stop doing that until after she left Mami. We also don't know if familiars turn into the same witch or they become their own witches. It's speculah to assume. I'll only point out there's a great deal of reuse of the same witches across different routes, which makes me thinks there was more pragmatic reasons behind it, e.g. development reasons. --[[User:Randomanon|randomanon]] 17:38, 27 March 2012 (UTC)

==Madokami==

When does she appear?
:In Homura's route when there is an anime ED ending. Madoka makes her wish, same as the anime. --[[User:Randomanon|randomanon]] 06:15, 27 March 2012 (UTC)
::She also appears in one of [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wtgLrIxPvNs Madoka's moves] 2:28 --[[Special:Contributions/84.77.58.17|84.77.58.17]] 22:31, 27 March 2012 (UTC)

==Dates==
What do we know about the dates of events in the game? [[:File:PSP_Screenshot1.jpg | this pre-release screenshot from August]] says 05/07 but May 7 and July 5 aren't compatible with the anime. [[:File:Madoa_PSP_World_Map.jpg | The map screenshot]] only seems to count the number of days elapsed. Is there any information in the release version to build a timeline out of? [[User:KM|KM]] 12:07, 27 March 2012 (UTC)
:There are no dates in the game. Only days, varying anywhere from 29 to 31 days in any given route. The dates do not start the same as the anime. For example, in the Homura route, Day 1 you decide whether to shoot Kyubey or not. If you do, it plays out the scene with Madoka finding an injured Kyubey. No exact dates are given for past events either. Only approximations like a "few years ago" or "a few months ago" etc. They break the day events down further into segments of time such as morning, noon, evening, night etc. That's all. --[[User:Randomanon|randomanon]] 12:30, 27 March 2012 (UTC)
::Oh well. 29 days happens to be the shortest possible time between that scene in episode 1 and walpurgis night's attack in the anime, so at least that fits in with our model. [[User:KM|KM]] 13:31, 27 March 2012 (UTC)
:::I should mention that the days don't really match up with the events of the anime. For example, Day 1 in both Madoka and Homura's route, you can have Madoka save an injured Kyubey. But then Mami fights Charlotte on day 7 in the Homura route and day 8 in Madoka's route. It's also impossible to replicate all the events exactly from the anime timeline in any of the routes. --[[User:Randomanon|randomanon]] 13:48, 27 March 2012 (UTC)

== The outcome of defeating Walpurgis on Mami's route. ==

You get this if you defeat Walpurgis:
Mami and Madoka defeat Walpurgis, however, Walpurgis is still alive and Mami takes the hit for her and dies (This is where the Mami taking a hit for Madoka CG came from) Madoka then fights Walpurgis alone and the rest we know.
Just figured I would share this little bit of information. [[Special:Contributions/84.77.58.17|84.77.58.17]] 10:53, 29 March 2012 (UTC)
::I wonder if this is what happened in the ep 10 original timeline, of course we dont know how Mami died, but it could be that way... --[[User:Mutopis|Mutopis]] 11:31, 29 March 2012 (UTC)
:::If Mami and Madoka really defeated Walpurgis, then Homura didn't need to contract, and the story will not happen. This is not allowed, I think. --[[User:Yorkwoo|Yorkwoo]] 14:51, 29 March 2012 (UTC)

== Sales ==

[[File:MadokaPortable_Sales_120329.png|right|300px|thumb|Sales number on Mar 29.]]

After 2 weeks, this title is only sold about 81K copies. It is said that there are many bugs result in no response. It's really a pity. --[[User:Yorkwoo|Yorkwoo]] 17:05, 29 March 2012 (UTC)
:"Only" 81k sales for a PSP game that's not a known game title after two weeks is actually very good. The first week of sales placed it [http://www.famitsu.com/news/201203/29012263.html 3rd] with 72K sales. The concern was the follow-up sales the second week show it's not going to be the blockbuster people thought it might, dropping it to 18th. However, if you look at the [http://www.4gamer.net/games/117/G011794/20120328053/ 4Gamer list], it gives you a better understanding of what rankings are like. For instance, the list covers all software games and PSP sales do not look anything like 3DS sales where top sellers eventually break 1M. They're all merged together though so many on the top 20 are well-known titles like Pokemon, Monster Hunter, Mario etc. PSP titles aren't on the list long because the kind of sales they get are much lower, so you're mostly seeing first week sales which are much stronger typically than latter weeks. In fact, the only PSP title you see on that list that isn't a first week seller is SEGA's Shining Blade which did 19K in second week sales, for a two week total of 141K. Madoka's second week of 8K sales may not seem that great but it is the same as the debut sales for another PSP title that made the top 20, e.g. 8K for second week sales is not terrible.

:Regarding bugs, I've only encountered one known freeze which is also noted on the Japanese wiki. It has a simple workaround of making two different choices on days. There are also reports of people occasionally seeing problems with menu bugs (e.g. buttons become blank or things look strange etc.) that are fixed by resetting the game. Some of the freeze complaints may be due to people using a pirated ISO rip which does freeze up constantly, FYI. Aside from that, I have not heard of any other bugs. --[[User:Randomanon|randomanon]] 19:09, 29 March 2012 (UTC)
::Sometimes when a battle happens after dialogue the emotion value changes to that of another girl (eg: Mami to Madoka's) Now this isn't bothersome. I'm not fully sure whetever it is a graphical or game bug yet.--[[Special:Contributions/84.77.58.17|84.77.58.17]] 23:31, 29 March 2012 (UTC)
:::Yes, that's an example of what I meant by it "looking strange." It's only visual though, it doesn't effect game play. The soul gems go dark at the expected rate of the emotional value of the girl you're using for fighting. --[[User:Randomanon|randomanon]] 02:08, 30 March 2012 (UTC)
:Since the game is a VN hybrid, I decided to take a look at VN sales for comparison. I think it's closer to that than your average game, meaning I doubt your average gamer has much interest in buying something where the storyline dialogue is the main focus. Looking [http://visualnovelaer.wordpress.com/2011/08/25/rewrite-sold-24424-copies-what-on-earth/ here], big VN sellers like Kanon, Air, Fate/Stay Night ended up around 146K-168K. Top 20 for first half of 2011 were all under 30K. So that gives what is a reasonable ballpark, though I assume hybrids are suppose to have more cross-market appeal and thus should theoretically sell better than VNs. --[[User:Randomanon|randomanon]] 21:24, 29 March 2012 (UTC)

==Witch transformation==

Aren't there any videos or images showing Mami and Kyoko turning into witches?

Also, isn't the name of Ophelia and Candeloro familiar showing up somewhere?

:No, the transformation itself isn't shown. The names of all witches are shown in runes at the introduction of the scene. Screenshots of those are on the respective pages. --[[User:Randomanon|randomanon]] 08:35, 31 March 2012 (UTC)
::When Mami becomes a witch, it is shown as in the Promotion Video before. No special pictures available. Event CG then animation showing the witch and its name. I think it is also the same in Kyoko's case. --[[User:Yorkwoo|Yorkwoo]] 09:58, 31 March 2012 (UTC)
:::So, could someone provide those event CGs?
::::For Mami, there is a picture showing her tainted soul gem. There is even no CG available when Kyoko becomes a witch. --[[User:Yorkwoo|Yorkwoo]] 16:12, 9 April 2012 (UTC)

== Voice Actors ==

* It is confirmed that Kyoko's father is played by Banjou Ginga (銀河萬丈), and Kyoko's sister is played by Mami Shitara (設楽麻美). See ED on each route. --[[User:Yorkwoo|Yorkwoo]] 15:46, 1 April 2012 (UTC)

== Bugs Confirmed ==

NBGI has announced there are some bugs in this title in the official website. They are:

*In Sayaka's route, there are conditions to stop game from running properly.
*Sometimes the game hangs during dungeon play (witch's barrier, Walpurgis, and some battle events)
*Karma value of Homura incorrectly displayed in results.
*Some times there are two same tips displayed consectively.

How to deal with those bugs will be announced later. --[[User:Yorkwoo|Yorkwoo]] 13:48, 3 April 2012 (UTC)

:Just create a new section in character page, just like [[Homulilly#Appearances|Appearances]] section in [[Homulilly]] page. A more detailed info for each route can live in routes page. --[[User:0x99|0x99]] 11:00, 18 April 2012 (UTC)

I was just passing by and took a little glimpse at your impressive KyoSaya gallery and... well. I'm not a yuri fan, I'm just a normal human and I did not happen to step upon the mysterious Yuri Goggles. But I kinda understand you guys - but there's one thing I don't understand. Why the heck on all those doujins Kyouko is in the "male" role? I mean, Sayaka seems more of such tomboy, with her short hair and all... I know Kyouko has stronger personality, but... ehm... OK, I tried to imagine confident Sayaka in suit and blushing Kyouko in wedding dress and it just didn't feel right :D But maybe it's worth asking - do such "reverse" KyoSaya (or should I call it SayaKyo) doujins exist? --[[User:KFYatek|KFYatek]] 19:12, 29 April 2011 (UTC)
:Kyouko is the experienced, independent woman who has an obvious interest in Sayaka, and Sayaka is the confused teenage girl who's playing hard to get, and Kyouko beat Sayaka up in a fight, so it's only natural that she'd take the lead. Kyouko has a history of being direct and even overly aggressive, while Sayaka can't even bring herself to confess her feelings. Of course, the real test is genderswapping. Kyouko would be a perfectly normal male character. In fact, she'd fit right into any typical shoujo romance as the bad boy whose hidden heart of gold can be saved by the heroine. Sayaka, on the other hand, acts like a real teenage girl. Man-Sayaka x Kyouko would be worthy of comparisons to Natsuru, while Kyou-kun x Sayaka is straight out of any romance novel. Disclaimer: I'm not into KyoSaya, I just came here to speculah. --[[User:KM|KM]]
:What [[User:KM|KM]] said. Plus Kyouko as a Bad Boy is so easy to identity. And with the whole Sayaka as a mermaid, it is easy to see Kyouko as the "Bad Boy Prince" coming to her rescue. I am not aware of any doujins as of yet but I am keeping an eye on it to see what they are making. --[[User:Mutopis|Mutopis]] 22:51, 29 April 2011 (UTC)

::Oh :( I guess Madoka artists prefer to further the clues given by the anime than to reimagine it. Then again, I guess that's perfectly normal. It's just something that's been bothering me for a while. The transformation from Puella to witch seems nearly instantaneous, it's hard to believe that the witch forms from nothing just like that. Therefore, I think it's very likely that, just as a girl's powers are determined when she contracts, her witch form must be as well: future experiences may affect certain detail, but not completely change it, as seen with Sayaka. And thus, if such a thing lives inside a Puella, I'd like to imagine that they'd put up a fight, even if destined to lose, even if only for a second, and even if only inside their subconscious/soul, to prevent it from taking control of their soul.

Nice to see a fan of the yuri vibes between my two favourite Madoka characters. I must say, Sayaka's lack of reaction to someone who clearly cares for her a lot is only matched in weirdness by her huge reaction to someone who didn't appear to give a crap about her at all. Maybe if Kyoko hit people with a violin rather than a spear, things would be different. [[User:Bersayaka|Bersayaka]] 00:17, 25 August 2011 (UTC)

==from 4chan:==

Here's an interesting one that fits nicely into the crypto-magi of Madoka. What about Lilith, the first woman and demon?

Her story roughly goes that when God made the humans, Lilith was made to serve man. Lilith took offence to this, and also rebelled against God because she didn't want human beings to be slaves. She even argued that there was no point in giving humans free will if God is just going to fuck with their fates constantly. She gets cast out of heaven for this defiance, along with Satan, and she gets turned into a "demon," which has close comparisons to witches and the like. (There are speculations that Satan = Lilith, but that's a whole bunch of Kaballistic shit I'm not going into here.) (Also, Eve comes in later as a "replacement" to Lilith to satiate Adam, but that got largely scrubbed out of the Torah as years went by and they then just went with Eve from the beginning.)

Converted to a magical girl story? The Incubators come down from heaven, "create" human society, and then the first magical girl, Lilith, figures out the plot, and opposes humans being treated like slaves by "God" - i.e: the Incubator race). Then she rebels against them somehow, but of course, something bad happens to her due to the Incubator's meddling and she gets turned into a witch. The story gets told over and over by the Incubators until it gets written down and fucked over by historians a bunch of times, but she still goes down in the history books as one of the first women in history to rebel against "God." Probably also exists as a warning to any magical girl who would rebel against them, except it outlasted its usefulness so they stopped talking about it through the course of human history.

Also plays into the characters like Jean d'Arc and Saint Walpurgia, where they were sent on a "mission from God." Why not the same God, eh?

Lilith: the first meguca. AN ORIGIN STORY.

Crypto-magi mahou shoujo witchcraft is awesome.--from some anon on 4chan.

The Rebellion Story

2013-04-10T18:05:58Z

Starkiller: Added a "warning" about a dead YouTube link.

{{Nihongo|'''Puella Magi Madoka Magica the Movie [New]: The Rebellion Story'''|劇場版魔法少女まどか☆マギカ［新編］叛逆の物語|Gekijōban Mahō Shōjo Madoka Magika [Shinpen] Hangyaku no Monogatari}} is the third movie of the [[Madoka Magica Movie|Madoka Magica Movie trilogy]]. It is scheduled to be released in Autumn 2013.

==Official statements about ''The Rebellion Story''==
Very little has been revealed about the third movie. This section has been created to compile all official information about the third movie's contents.

==Trivia==
* Takarajima's men's fashion magazine [[Smart 2013-04|Smart revealed in its April issue]] that the movie would be released in Summer 2013. They later reported on Twitter that this was an error. [http://www.animenewsnetwork.com/news/2013-02-25/magazine/3rd-madoka-magica-film-summer-listing-was-in-error]

==Speculation==
[[File:Madoka bingo movie specula.jpg|right|thumb|150px]]
*The very last part of the new ending animation for the previous two movies features an unknown pink silhouette - most likely that of Ultimate Madoka - with another silhouette that is somewhat smaller and floating inside its belly, or womb (?)
**This has fueled speculation of a pregnancy. In Goethe's Faust, Gretchen was actually pregnant with Faust's baby and she was forced to murder her baby by drowning it.
*There have been hints that the witches will reappear in the new movie in some capacity.
**There have been hints that Madoka Kaname will reunite with Homura Akemi, which probably strengthens the speculation above.
*There are also mentions of Hitomi Shizuki and the word "Nightmare" associated with her, implying that she will play a prominent role in the third movie. How this is related remains to be seen.
*It is speculated that the third movie could be taking place in a different universe.

Madoka Magica Mobage

2013-03-25T18:08:33Z

Starkiller: The message says "2012", not "2011".

[[File:Mobage game adv.jpg|thumb|Mobage game Ad]]
== Summary ==
The [http://www.madoka-magica.com/goods/07.html official Madoka Magica] website has released information on a new Mobage Puella Magi Madoka Magica free mobile game. The mobile url is http://sp.pf.mbga.jp/12007105 and requires creating a logon.

'''INFORMATION: The game has terminated service since the 19th of November 2012. Trying to use the above URL will result in a redirect to a page saying the below:

『魔法少女まどか☆マギカ』（サービス提供：株式会社アニプレックス）は 2012年11月19日にサービス終了しました。'''

== Plot ==
[[File:Mobile Game Madoka Official Site SS.jpg|Fight scene against Walpurgis|thumb]]
The game is set in the same background as that of the TV anime and some of the character relationships are connected. The player adopts the perspective of a magical girl who is found unconscious in [[Mitakihara Town]] by the five main anime characters.

== Gameplay ==
It features the magical girl cast from the anime and four new magical girls to defeat witches and [[Walpurgis_Night|Walpurgisnacht]]. The game uses character designs, animation, and [[Soundtrack|music]] from the anime as well as incorporating new designs and songs for the dialogue scenes. Characters are superdeformed or "chibi" in the fight scenes.

*The game appears to use purchasable cards to unlock new attacks and items in the game. Players can also team up as 'Soul Mates' to defeat powerful enemies (which becomes more and more necessary later in the game).

*The game features several new witches, including the witch of giraffes, the witch of sewing, and the witch of springtime.

For character cards, visit [http://wikiwiki.jp/mbga-madoka/ here] and click the links on the side for each of the characters, Madoka (鹿目まどか), Homura (暁美ほむら), Sayaka (美樹さやか), Mami (巴マミ), Kyoko (佐倉杏子), all other characters and witches (その他).

== The Hollow Little Mermaid ==
There is a special Sayaka-centric scenario called "The Hollow Little Mermaid", available as part of a limited-time special event. Four new magical girls appear in the scenario, named Elise, Claire, Hiyori and Komachi.

*'''Elise''' fights with summoning magic. Her personality makes her very well-liked. She became a magical girl to help her parents deal with the grief they had over the death of her sister.
*'''Claire''' fights with lightning. She has a quiet and gentle personality. She became a magical girl because she was lonely from being ignored by her parents.
*'''Hiyori''' fights with music. She has a calm and gentle demeanor. Her wish was to convince her mother of her musical talent. She restrains enemies with harp strings and purifies them.
*'''Komachi''' fights with naginata swords. She's a cheerful girl. Her wish was to fix a limited life expectancy from an unknown and incurable disease. She has excellent reflexes.

After defeating them in the scenario, their respective cards can be used in battle.

Some examples screenshots of character dialogues.

'''Elise''': 
Do you now understand the difference in our strength? You guys can't protect the city. Retreat.

'''Claire''': 
Why... I cannot understand the reason I lost.

'''Komachi''': 
Huh... No way, to think I lost against them.

'''Hiyori''': 
I lose. 

[[File:Mobile Game Elise S1.jpg|150px]] 
'''Elise''': 
I don't understand what you can do with that awkward posture. Good. Let's you see how I fight against it.

[[File:Mobile Game Madoka S1.png|150px]] 
'''(Protagonist)''': 
Ah! Madoka-chan threw Kyoko-chan's soul gem far away.

Note: This dialogue is an example of how events can differ from the anime. In the anime, Madoka threw Sayaka's soulgem away.

For context, this takes place after arriving at a shrine for New Year's. Everyone, including you as the player character, got various degrees of good fortune from their [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Omikuji omikuji]. [[:Media:Mobage New Years Sayaka Horrible Fortune.jpg|This scene]] takes place with Sayaka receiving her fortune.

'''Kyoko''': Oh, good for you. Now let me guess, Sayaka's going to top us all off with a bad luck fortune, right? Ahahaha-... 
'''Sayaka''': "Horrible luck"... ''[Editor's note: dai-kyō, (大凶) is the worst fortune you can get with an omikuji]'' 
'''Kyoko''': ! ! 
'''Player''': Wow...so a horrible luck fortune really does exist... 
'''Sayaka''': "The person you are waiting for....won't come." 
'''Player''': Uwaa... Sayaka's seriously getting depressed... 
'''Kyoko''': I..it's just a piece of paper, it's no big deal! Give it to me. I'll go tie it on a tree for ya! 
'''Sayaka''': ...Will I end up alone this year..? 
'''Kyoko''': D..don't worry Sayaka, that won't happen. I'll...err...I'll stay with you! 
'''Player''': Looks like Kyoko's actually trying to cheer Sayaka up for once. Kind of a weird scene.

Madoka: Wearing a kimono for the ceremony is nice, too. Being a bride is a girl's dream, after all!

[[File:Madoka Mobage - Homura got lost.jpg|right|thumb|200px|[[:file:Hanagasumi Special homura madoka part 2.jpg|original in Japanese]]]]

H: Madoka...Where are you...!?

QB: Akemi Homura, looks like you've been separated. Why not use telepathy?

H: ...It doesn't matter. I don't mind going home like this.

H: ...But Madoka wouldn't like being alone. I'm only worried about that...

QB: Worried about Madoka? You are always like that.

H: I'm already lost, from a long time ago...

QB: ...What do you mean...

M: Homura-chan!!

H: ...Madoka?

M: *panting* Great, I finally found you...!

H: Madoka, why...? Where's the rest?

M: Sorry, I don't know. I've only been searching for Homura-chan all along.

H: You are out of breath. You should have left me alone.

M: What are you saying, Homura-chan.

M: If you are lost, you should stay put!

H: Madoka...

M: Homura-chan, please trust me...?

H: ...Eh?

[[File:Hanagasumi Special homura madoka part 1.jpg|right|200px]]

M: If Homura-chan ever becomes lost, like now, I will try my best to search for you.

M: I'm clumsy and slow, so I may take a long time...

M: But I'll definitely find you.

H: Madoka...

M: So please, trust me and wait for me.

M: Until I find Homura-chan, I will never give up.

H: ...Thank you, Madoka, thank you...

M: Tehehe, I'll find you sooner next time!!

QB: *Blablabla contract blablabla*

M: ...That's

H: ...Kyubey, shut up.

QB: Can you stop pointing at me with a gun? My my, humans are really illogical organisms.

M: Homura-chan, let's find the rest.

M: Can I hold your hand, so that we won't be separated again?

H: ...Yes, of course. Let's go, together...

Kyubey

Starkiller: Added a picture of Kyubey in a human form that I found online that was on my webpage to the Fanart Female Kyubey section.

<blockquote>''"I want you to form a contract with me and become magical girls!"'' - Kyubey, [[Episode 1]].</blockquote>

{{Infobox_character

|voices=Japanese: [http://anidb.net/perl-bin/animedb.pl?show=creator&creatorid=641 Emiri Katou] English: [http://www.animenewsnetwork.com/encyclopedia/people.php?id=95781 Cassandra Lee] Italian: [http://myanimelist.net/people/9993/Loretta_Di_pisa Loretta di Pisa]
}}

{{Nihongo|'''Kyubey'''|キュゥべえ|Kyuubee or Kyube}} is a {{nihongo|"Messenger of Magic"|魔法の使者|mahō no shisha}} who grants the wishes of young girls, but in exchange contracts their services as {{nihongo|Puella Magi|魔法少女|mahō shōjo|lit. Magical Girls}}. Girls who form a contract with him are tasked to defeat [[Witch|Witches]] -- bizarre entities that feed upon the hopes and dreams of normal people. Kyubey features prominently as a character within the anime series of Madoka Magica.

==Appearance==
Kyubey is a small, cat-like creature, about two feet long (including tail). His entire body is covered in often clean, white fur. He has what appear to be four ears; two that resemble an average cat, pointed and up, while the other two appear as long tassel-like appendages that split into three sections at their tip. The tassels fade from white to pink and have three red dots horizontally before the splits. they also bear a pair of floating golden rings.
Kyubeys face is his most well known feature; two beady pink eyes with ark maroon irises and a tiny, sigma-shaped "cat mouth". Due to Kyubey's method of telepathic communication, his face remains almost completely unmoving except for blinking and consuming food. This unmoving face is often a source of fan stigma involving Kyubey "staring into one's soul".

On his back is an egg-shaped red oval. In timeline 6, this oval flips up, like a trapdoor to act as a receptacle for grief seed fragments.

In the anime, Kyubey has not been evidenced to bleed, however, when injured, he has red matter underneath his fur. When he is shot by Homura several times, Kyubey's body does not seem to contain organs, only solid red. Whether this is artistic censorship or an actual attribute of Kyubey's anatomy is yet unknown.

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

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

*Kyubey's appearance (and name) share an affinity to [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nine-tailed_fox Kyuubi], Mythical Japanese foxes with nine tails. In folklore, Kyuubi were known to possess men and have them do the Kyuubi's bidding, a trait identical to Kyubeys desire to collect energy from Puella Magi.

==Personality==
Kyubey is an Incubator/Messenger of Magic. Because of this, he, like his race, cannot exhibit emotions of any kind. As a result, Kyubey often appears cold, calculating and scheming; traits that make him appear villainous in the series. Kyubey, however, only seeks to achieve a goal; to preserve the universe from entropy. To meet this goal, he takes all means logically efficient and reasonable; namely creating Puella Magi. Initially, Kyubey appears enthusiastic to help the Puella Magi in their quest, offering advice where applicable, however, as more of his true motive is revealed, either by him or others, Kyubey becomes progressively more passive and observatory in manner (although this could be because he has no advice left to offer).

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

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

Kyubey apparently enjoys hot baths and human food, as evidenced in the anime.

==Synopsis==
Kyubey is an incubator, a member of an alien race dedicating their purpose towards counteracting the effects of (and possibly negating) Entropy; the principle that energy output is always less than energy input, a fact that is presently causing the universe to slowly die out. In order to achieve this, Kyubey collects raw energy from a source that seems to be excepted from entropy; the emotions of girls in their second growth stage (14-18). In order to harvest this energy, Kyubey forms contracts with these girls: the exchange of a wish for absolutely anything, for the servitude as a Puella Magi, magical girls who use their powers to defeat witches who then drop grief seeds. The energy produced during this process is then harvested by Kyubey through unknown means. Kyubey does not reveal, however, that Puella Magi turn into witches after falling into despair; witches that are then fought by other Puella Magi, creating an endless cycle. Because of this, Kyubey is often seen as the true antagonist of the series, despite the fact that his justification is that he is saving countless other sectors of the universe in doing so. Kyubey's goal in ''Madoka Magica'' is to turn Madoka into an incredibly powerful Puella magi, who will then destroy the Walpurgis Night and become the most powerful witch; the Kreimhild Gretchin, a process which apparently produces obscene amounts of energy, at the expense of the human race (as there would be no Puella Magi able to defeat the most powerful witch)

==Powers==
Kyubey has a wide variety of magical abilities which he uses in his mission to counteract entropy. They are listed below
*'''Telepathic communication''' Kyubey communicates with Puella Magi and potential Puella Magi through telepathic communication, as opposed to verbal. Exposure to this apparently enables Puella Magi and potential Puella Magi to also communicate telepathically amongst each other when Kyubey is nearby.
*'''Invisibility''' Kyubey is invisible to everyone except for Puella magi and candidates. Normal humans do not seem to notice his presence at all, just as he does not seem able to communicate with them.
*'''Teleportation''' Kyubey has been evidenced to cross long distances in impossibly short time spans, the method for which is yet unknown, but can be assumed to be teleportation. In episode 10, he also fades into reality above Homura, which may be the visible manifestation of him teleporting.
*'''Wish granting''' Kyubey can grant wishes of young girls, no matter how wild and unrealistic they may be, in the same manner a Genie would. Kyubey only allocates one wish per contract and it is unknown if this ability is contract bound or he is able to use it at will.
*'''Energy conversion/collection''' Kyubey is able to collect energy from witch transformation and battles through an unseen means. In Timeline 6, he collects it by magical girls dropping grief seed fragments into a hatch-like "mouth" on his red oval on his back. How he is able to transport this energy also remains a mystery.
*'''Soul Gem Creation''' Kyubey is capable of rending young girls souls from their bodies and placing them within small egg-shaped gemstones called soul gems. This makes the newly formed Puella Magi capable of transformation into their "magical girl form" as well as increased agility, strength and pain threshold, at the expense that the original body is simply turned into a puppet of the soul gem, and its feelings are numbed. Like with granting wishes, it is unknown if Kyubey can do this at will, or a contract must first be formed.
*'''Replication''' After being killed, another identical Kyubey will appear nearby to consume the remains of his predecessor. This Kyubey appears to retain most, if not all the knowledge of the last after consuming the remains. This may suggest a "hive mind" or cloning process. It may also reference that "cats have nine lives", as Kyubey resembles a cat (Kyuubi, being nine-tailed foxes may also be a coincidental occurrence).
*'''Soul Gem Stimulation''' As referenced in episode 7, Kyubey can create impulses of certain feelings on a soul gem simply by touching it. In Sayaka's case, he emulates a pike (probably mimicking Kyoko's) impaling Sayaka's stomach.

==Trivia==
*Kyubey's Name spelling is often a topic of argument amongst fans, the many various spellings in different texts have caused confusion as to its meaning
**His name is written in both Hiragana and Katakana as キュ''(kyu)''ゥ''(u)''べ''(be)''え''(e)'', so Kyuubee or Kyuubey would be most accurate as a romanization.
**On the other hand, [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Re0TB956D5E&feature=related the fifth commercial] has his name romanized as "Kyubey", which resulted in controversy. However, the lack of the extra u is probably just a use of the modified Hepburn system, which never accounts for extended vowels.
**[[Translated_Official_Documents#Kyubey_cuteness|Gen Urobuchi joked]] that the "Kyu" comes from the katakana of the English word ''Cute'' so it could also be Cubey.
**[[Episode 8]] suggests that his name comes from 'Incubator', which would be romanized as 'in'''kyubee'''taa.' In the same episode, it is revealed that he has multiple replacements.
***During Kyubey's dialogues in episode 9, he keeps saying "we", meaning that he isn't the only Incubator.
**Some fans of 2ch have taken to assigning the kanji 「九兵衛」 (''Kyūbē'', lit. ''nine protector soldiers'' or ''nine warriors in defense'') to his name, speculating that like Doraemon (whose name can be written as 「銅鑼衛門」), Kyubey's naming might have been inspired by old Samurai dramas.
**'QB' is short for 'Kyubey' in Niconico Douga. This name is also common on 2ch.
[[File:Kyubey's moving tail.gif|200px|right]]
*For more information about energy, entropy and thermodynamics in general, see [[Thermodynamics]].
*Kyubey appears to be capable of teleportation. In episode 10, at the end of the first timeline, he appears to fade into reality above Homura.
*A fanart meme tends to point out Kyubey's similarity to [http://prettycure.wikia.com/wiki/Hummy Hummy], the mascot of ''Suite Precure♪'', the other (much more traditional, child-friendly, and optimistic) magical girl series that began airing in Winter 2011. Due to the closeness of their airing dates, this is likely a coincidence, but it has not gone unnoticed and adds to the series' postmodernist deconstruction of the magical girl genre.

*Kyubey's speech patterns may have been used to give a "foreign" touch to Kyubey's speech, as this pattern emulates the typical way of speaking in other languages, such as English.
**It can also be interpreted as Kyubey treating personal names just as tags for identifying individuals, similar to a social security number.
**''Boku'' is also used by girls, but this is uncommon in real life. In manga, anime and alike, this is often employed for girls exhibiting "boyish" personality traits. Such girls are called ''boku-kko'' (僕っ子) a western equivalent is a "tomboy".
*Some fan speculation has arisen that the "Kyu" in Kyubey may be resemblant to a tag or identification number, just as Juubey has the number 10 affixed to "Juu" Kyubey is Number 9 in the series. although this would make sense, Kazumi Magica conffirms that the "Juu" in Juubey does not mean 10. Juubey, however is also not a "real" incubator
**However, in [[Episode 11]] Kyubey reveals to Madoka that while this statement is true on the majority of their race, there have been extreme rare cases of those capable of expressing emotions, but because this is a very rare phenomenon they are considered to be mentally ill.
**[[Spa_Weekly!_2011-07-19#Tetsuya_Miyazaki_.28commentator.29|Spa Weekly!]] Article: Kyubey's utilitarianism prioritizes the continuation of the whole universe and takes precedence over the happenings of individual entities. Kyubey's actions are not based on ignorance since he is aware of the cause-and-effect law of nature, he consciously decides that the law is immutable and conveniently uses it to exploit the Puella Magi system. Apparently this makes Kyubey a ''Bad Buddhist''.
**In Chapter 21 of Kazumi Magica, {{spoiler|Kyubey ''"wanted"'' to communicate with Juubey, even if it was man-made, as it wanted to connect with another of his kind. It is unknown if Kyubey's reasons were because it wanted to learn more about Juubey or if it was ''"feeling lonely"''.}}
*In the [[Drama CD 2|Drama CD ''"Sunny Day Life"'']] Kyubey tries to convince to an exasperated Madoka that ''"he"'' doesn't see himself as male (in human terms) so ''"he"'' doesn't understand why ''"he"'' isn't allowed to be in the bathroom with a naked Madoka.
**On the Blu-ray commentary it was pointed by [[Gen Urobuchi]] that Kyubey has no gender.
*According to the Blu-Ray Episode 2 voice commentary:
**Kyubey was not based on any animal, just the concept of a "small mahou shoujo animal"
**When asked what animals were used as the basis for Kyubey's design, Ume Aoki was very cryptic because of spoilers.
***The only clue she gives is {{spoiler|"coil"''. According to the drama CD interpreter, it's possible that it relates to the theory that Kyubey's design is based on the uterus. Supporters of this theory believe Kyubey's ears look like fallopian tubes.}} It could also refer to {{spoiler|Incubator}}., which has a similar meaning to it. This interpretation was proven wrong in the commentary for episode 8, where Chiwa Saito explained that the truth that was hidden was that the marking on Kyubey's back is that of an egg, and that was the connection to {{spoiler|Incubator}}.
****Considering he is an Incubator, this is not [[:File:Kyubey womb.jpg|farfetched]].
*In an interview with [[NewType 2011-07|NewType]], Shinbo was thinking of giving lip-synching to Kyubey in the new world but Yukihiro Miyamoto said no since fundamentally Kyubey remains the same creature as before, only interested in energy efficiency, so he remains unchanged. Also in the interview it's stated Kyubey doesn't move his mouth to speak because he is communicating by telepathy.
**It also enhances the [[SWITCH 2011-07 Vol.29 No.07|creepy factor]].
**Prior to broadcasting, no one told the seiyuu (specially Emiri Kato) that Kyubey's mouth doesnt move, so she tried to properly lip-synch her lines. When they saw the first episode on the air, the seiyuu were shocked that they were tricked.
*Aoi Yuuki (Madoka), Chiwa Saito (Homura), and Kaori Mizuhashi (Mami) tried for the role of Kyubey. Saito was told her Kyubey sounded too stupid, and in Yuuki's part hers sounded too naive and that she was too cute for it (no surprise there). They all found the role for Kyubey to be too difficult for them.
**They also found the Kyubey character to be too smart for them.
*In the Audio Commentary for [[Episode 9]], before reading the script or knowing the nature of the show, Emiri Kato (VA of Kyubey) was very happy that she was voicing a cute animal character.
*According to Shinbo, he just finished reading [[wikipedia:Michael_Sandel|Michael Sandel]]'s [[wikipedia:Michael_Sandel#Justice|book]], and he describes Kyubey as a [[SWITCH_2011-07_Vol.29_No.07|Michael Sandel-esque]] character (this is regarding with the book's section on Utilitarianism).
*Gen Urobuchi comments in the Audio Commentary for [[Episode 12]] that (the) Kyubey's presence is world wide (WWQB). This can be interpreted as that multiple Kyubeys are being used to contract and reduce entropy; and are not limited to just using one single incubator at a time. this would explain as to why kyubeys can consume dead predecessors. it may also suggest that instead of kyubey being able to teleport, there are simply several, each one assigned to go with a magical girl or clusters thereof, at a time.
*During the [[Sakura-Con 2012 Interview|Sakura-Con 2012 panel interview]], Urobuchi explains that Kyubey is not evil, it is his lack of human feelings that makes him scary.
**Urobuchi compares [[wikipedia:Hp_lovecraft|H.P. Lovecraft]]'s [[wikipedia:Cthulhu_Mythos_deities|creatures]] to be same as Kyubey, in that they are uninterested in humans feelings.

==Speculations==
{{Theory/Header|status=confirmed}}
*When Kyubey gets shot by Homura in [[Episode 8]], another one appears and eats the dead body. It could either be another version of 'Kyubey' (as expected in some speculations), or the same Kyubey that respawned. After all, [[Wikipedia:Cat#History_and_mythology|cats are supposed to have 9 lives]], so what about him?
**This could also be an effort to get back some energy, that would otherwise be lost.
**The existence of multiple Kyubey bodies that seem to share a single personality, his use of the pronoun "we" in referring to himself/the Incubator(s) in episode 9, and his inability to comprehend the Magis' emotional distress at losing one of their own, suggests that the Incubators might be a hive mind (many individuals acting as an extension of a single consciousness).
***This could be an indicator that the aliens possess a form of cloning technology that allows them to create new replacements. It has been speculated that Kyubey's people could recreate a new vessel when a Puella Magi loses her body as long as her Soul Gem is still intact. This indicates a sophisticated level of cloning technology and genetic engineering on their part.
**The ''[[Kazumi Magica|Kazumi]]'' manga adds to this dispute by {{Spoiler|showing another Incubator called Jubey, differing in appearance, personality and working methods from Kyubey. However, he is suggested to be working together with Kyubey, as the two are seen together in Chapter 4, although their relation is not explicitly stated.}}
**Would it be possible that Incubators have their own souls separated from their bodies? As such, as long as their own version of a "Soul Gem" is kept in tact, they can control different bodies and even switch between them.
'''Confirmation:''' Gen Urobuchi states that there are Multiple Kyubeys working together at once.

*It would seem that Kyubey never lies but instead holds back important information, often under the pretense of no-one asking him. An example for this is episode 9: when Kyoko asks him if Sayaka can be saved, he only says that nobody ever tried to turn a witch back into a human being (which could in fact be true), rather than saying that it's indeed possible (which would be a lie, as he reveals to Homura at the end of the episode). However, Kyubey also tells Madoka that he is incapable of manipulating humans, which contradicts the reason why he allowed Kyoko to chase after Sayaka in the first place: he wanted her to be killed so that only Homura would be left to battle the powerful Walpurgis, thus forcing Madoka to become a magical girl. This is clearly an attempt to manipulate Madoka's actions, making his earlier statement to her a lie.
**He also states that his/their reasons for creating magic girls is so that new cultures can arise without the heat death of the universe preventing that. He seems rather nonchalant about leaving Earth to be destroyed at the hands of Kriemhild Gretchen in timeline 4. Given that nearly all of the [[Population_dynamics|population dynamics]] models made for the Puella Magica world will inevitably result in the destruction of life on that planet and that Earth is clearly not the only world harvested by Kyubey's race, their reasoning seems rather suspect. Assuming they really are collecting the energy to stave off the heat death of the universe, for other cultures doesn't appear to be their reason for doing it. If he is consciously lying about the reason, then this would make his story to Madoka another attempt to manipulate her by claiming it's 'for the greater good.' Additionally, if this was the reason and if magic/wishes can really do anything, then why not simply explain it to someone and ask them to make a wish to prevent the universe from suffering heat death? Surely someone somewhere in the universe would be willing to make such a wish.
'''Confirmation:''' This is actually said. in the anime.

*Many fans believe [[Speculah:Kyuubey_is_Evil_Theory|Kyubey is evil]] and believe he/she should not be trusted.
**In the end, it all depends on the point of view ...

*According to the same theory, it is likely that Kyubey is the messenger of a greater entity that has its own agenda.
'''Confirmation:''' Again, in the anime. Also Stated By Gen that Kyubey is not evil, just cold and emotionless.

[[File:The faces of Kyubey.jpg|right|250px]]
[[File:Kyubeys true form madoka comic.jpg|right|200px|thumb|Madoka can see your true character, Kyubey.]]
*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.
** Additionally, when he gets shot full of holes in Episode 8, there are small drops that appear to be blood, but they do not spread out after he is hit. He also appears to have no bones or organs.
** [[Gen Urobuchi]]'s [[Translated_Official_Documents#Chidamari|tweet]] "Yeah, that's terrible! We still haven't shown even a single scene with bloodshed!" (まだ今んとこ流血シーンなんてないのに、ひどいよね！) may refer to the fact that Kyubey doesn't bleed.

*To our knowledge, Kyubey has thus far only accepted wishes that his species's technology can "grant:" the healing of a paralyzed hand (Sayaka), the rescuing of a girl trapped in a crushed automobile (Mami), mass mind-control (Kyoko), and time travel (Homura). While we don't know for sure the bounds of this technology, we definitely do know that Kyubey's species can't end the heat death of the universe on its own, meaning that Kyubey wouldn't be able to grant the wish "Save the universe from entropy!"
** No limits were stated. He hasn't failed to grant (or rejected) any wish on the first request. (Was technology ever mentioned?)
*** Kyubey does say at one point that sufficiently-advanced technology can appear to be magic to less-advanced species. He also mentions early on in the series that he can't bring dead people back to life, a clear limitation on his wish-granting abilities that most likely comes from his species' inability to revive the dead.
*** However, note, that wish granting may essentially be considered as an exertion of energy. Yet, magic girls generate more unergy upon their deciet, therefore it is anti-entropy. To wish against entropy, all the energy in the universe would not suffice.
*** Isn't that inconsistent with Homura undoing deaths every time she time-travels.
**** No, since Homura always travels back to a certain point in time before everyone is killed. She isn't "undoing" deaths so much as going to a timeline where they haven't happened yet. (Of course, if Kyubey's species is capable of time travel, then he could ''technically'' "revive" a person by going back in time, grabbing a past version of that person, and bringing him/her to the present...but, of course, the past version of said person wouldn't necessarily be the same as the version the potential Puella Magi would want. In addition, picking up and dropping off people in different time lines could have complicated, horrible effects on time in general.)
** When granting Homura's wish, Kyubey clearly states her wish surpassed entropy and yet he still succeeds in granting it. (see episode 10's page) That's consistent with his explanation that magic comes from the girls and magic is above entropy.
*** However, while "magic"/"miracles" can come from the girls, we have seen no indication of Kyubey being able to use any kind of magic other than what his species' advanced technology allows him to do. Moreover, he -- not the girls themselves -- grants the wishes, meaning that all wishes thus far have been granted using technology rather than magic. Taking fan theories about the ending of the show in mind, this could become a plot point when Madoka makes her decision to become/refuse to become a Puella Magi.
*** We don't know how wishes are granted. Another possibility is he plays a catalytic role. Homura's wish wouldn't have been possible if he granted them only using what his race was already capable of.
**** He couldn't have just given her a portable time machine? In that case, he would have given Homura the technological means to complete her wish, while she would have provided the "magic" to make that wish surpass entropy -- making Kyubey's, as you suggested, a catalytic role that doesn't necessarily involve magic on his part. Going back to why he apparently can't find someone to wish against the heat death of the universe, Kyubey most likely can't provide the catalyst necessary for such a wish to come true. He'd have to rely entirely on the magic of the girl in question, and so far as we know Madoka has been the only person he's met who might have the magical potential to rewrite the laws of the universe.
**However, Kyubey seems to either remember making a contract with Homura, or know that such a contract has been made. It is therefore possible that the reason he wishes to make Madoka into a magical girl is that, as long as Homura keeps on resetting the space/time continuum, Kyubey can harvest an infinite amount of energy from each of the witches killed in each individual timeline, thus permanently preventing the heat death of the universe - for as long as Homura keeps resetting time. If Kyubey harvests energy from each parallel universe (and any witches that may be created from them), it is possible to create a paradoxically infinite universe.
*'''To all above points regarding wish granting:''' Kyubey's capacity to grant wishes is stated to be limitless until episode 12, in which he states that madoka can wish to become god if she so desired, implying that a certain capacity for energy is required to do so. Technology is not necessarily evident in the wish granting process, however, magic is (it is used in episode 12 when he grants madoka's wish; a strong magical aura). although some of the puella magi's weapons are "technological" in nature (homura's clockwork shield, mami's Muskets) this doesn't mean that they run off technology; they're called Magical Girls for a reason.
*Apparently Kyubey selects the right moment and the right time to appear to grant wishes to his victims, and he seems to await for the conditions to be perfect to secure a good level of energy. At first glance he gives the impression that he is coming to rescue his victims by allowing them a wish during their weakest moment. He probably can sense a great moment of despair and he awaits for the girls' state of mind to be in turmoil and ready to ask for a (selfish) wish. It is speculated that he does this to guarantee that their wishes will be selfish in nature so it would fail to meet their expectations. In doing so Kyubey secures a great amount of despair thus releasing a great level of energy.
**Examples:
::Mami's near death experience
::Kyoko's family distress
::Sayaka's pressure to help Kyousuke
::Homura's despair to save Madoka
::Oriko's moment of crisis
::Kirika's fear of never getting close to Oriko
::Yuma's fear of abandonment
::Madoka's desire to save everything from witches
* This speculative philosophical essay deals with the nature of Kyubey's utilitarianism: [[Talk:Philosophical Observations|Talk:Philosophical Observations]]
**this may also suggest the theory that Kyubey can see into the future, in that he can divine which girls to select to become puella magi.

== In Kazumi Magica ==
<blockquote>''"We Incubators don't have individual consciousnesses. We belong to a single consciousness."'' - Kyubey, Kazumi Magica, Ch. 21.</blockquote>
[[File:Kyubey with airi.png|thumb|300px|Kyubey proposing a contract to {{Spoiler|Airi}}.]]
Kyubey appears in Chapters 2, 4, 5, 14, 20 and 21 of [[Kazumi Magica]].
* In Chapter 2 Kyubey appears as a silhouette along with [[Madoka]] as [[Kaoru]] explains magic to [[Kazumi]].
* In Chapter 4 Kyubey is seen at the very beginning of the chapter, sitting next to [[Jubey]] as they watch the [[Pleiades Saints]]. He cryptically asks if things will go better "this time".
* In Chapter 5 Kyubey's role is expanded. He appears briefly when {{Spoiler|Yuuri becomes a witch, similar to the end of Episode 8}}. He then further appears in the extended flashback of [[Yuuri]]'s and Airi's backstory. First he contracts with Yuuri, and then after {{Spoiler|Yuuri becomes a witch and is killed by the Pleiades}} he explains exactly what happened to Airi, culminating in her contracting with him. When she contracts, he tells her that "[[Episode 10|Your wish has surpassed entropy.]]" Kyubey also tells Airi about the Pleaides Saints {{Spoiler|when she asks who killed Yuuri}}. During the entire chapter, Kyubey either appears as a shadow or in the shadows. It's quite clear that he is manipulating Airi, and that he is ultimately responsible for almost all of the subsequent events in the series beyond simply contracting magical girls to become witches.
* In Chapter 14, Kyubey's face is seen as {{Spoiler|Satomi realizes the truth of where witches come from after watching Michiru become one.}} He is also seen watching from above (like [[Nico]] and Jubey, who can be seen a few panels before) while {{Spoiler|Satomi reveals the truth of the clones to Kazumi and forces them to fight one another.}}
* In Chapter 20, Kyubey appears in person when {{Spoiler|Umika and Kaoru call for him, having recovered their memories of Incubators, which were suppressed by a spell cast by Umika.}}
* In Chapter 21, Kyubey reveals that Incubators dont have individual consciousnesses. They are like a network terminal connected to one single consciousness.
** Strangely, Kyubey ''"wanted"'' to talk to Juubey, it wanted to talk to another of his kind, {{spoiler|even if it was man-made}}.

== In Oriko Magica ==
<blockquote>''"Too bad." --"Incubator...!!" "I found her. I found Kaname Madoka."'' - Kyubey, Oriko and Homura. Puella Magi Oriko Magica, [[Oriko_Magica#Chapter_6:_Someday_isn.27t_today|Chapter 6]].</blockquote>
[[File:Kyubeyinoriko01.png|thumb|300px|Kyubey as he appears in Oriko Magica.]]
* In Chapter 1, Kyubey contracts with [[Oriko]], who tells him of [[Yuma]], another Puella Magi candidate he should try contracting. He later tries to convince Yuma to contract with him, but is stopped by [[Kyoko]]. Kyoko then learns from him about the recent murders of Puella Magi. When he appears again, speaking with Oriko, he claims that human emotions are unfathomable to him. Oriko replies that he should learn to appreciate them, as they give him what he desires.
* In Chapter 2, he successfully {{Spoiler|contracts with Yuma after Kyoko is attacked by a witch}}.
* In Chapter 3, he tells [[Mami]] about the recent murders of Puella Magi. He says that the most recent victim told him the murderer was a {{Spoiler|"black Puella Magi," and not a witch.}}
* In Chapter 5, Kyubey discusses {{spoiler|the identity of the black magical girl with Mami, and told her he never mentioned Kirika because he had no proof it was her. He discovers Oriko's plot to kill Madoka before she can contract and eventually become a witch, and tries to stop her.}}
* In Chapter 6, he sends Kyoko and Yuma to help Mami defeat the witch that has put a barrier around Mitakihara Junior High, as well as stop Oriko, who has gone out of control. {{spoiler|Despite both Homura and Oriko's attempts to hide Madoka from him, he finds her inside the barrier.}}
* In Chapter 7, {{spoiler|Oriko uses the last of her life to shoot a piece of Kirika's witch body through him and Madoka, who was hidden behind him, through a wall. She kills the girl before she can contract, foiling both Homura and Kyubey's plans.}}

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

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

===Fanart Female Kyubey===
{{fanart}}
While technically speaking Kyubey has no gender, some fanart has depicted Kyubey as a girl. Perhaps a girlish feminine touch will soften the hostile hearts against this furball from Hell. Unfortunately, some fans may have taken the idea [[:file:QB mammies do not want cannot unsee nsfw eye cancer.jpg|to its extreme logic.]]

=== Miscellaneous ===
==== Analysis ====
===== Spelling conflicts =====
The odd Japanese spelling of Kyubey's name has contributed to many alternative Latin-character spellings. The three supported by official materials are "Kyubey", "Kyubee", and "Qbey".

<gallery>
File:KyubeyCM.jpg|"Kyubey" appears in the seventh television commercial.
File:Kyubee_name.jpg|Official site HTML show "Kyubee".
File:E11MadokaQbey.jpg|"Qbey" appears written in runes in [[Runes:Episode_11|episode 11]].
</gallery>

===== Kyubey "Cute Alien" Model =====
In episode 2 of [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ground_Defense_Force!_Mao-chan Ground Defense Force! Mao-chan], a 2002 anime that shares certain superficial traits with Madoka, one of them is a very Kyubey looking alien. In this anime, these aliens are considered so cute that the world has a difficult time defending against the alien invasion, because of public opinion that this would be "bullying."

However, the similarity in appearance is coincidental. Ume Aoki stated in the BD 1 episode 2 audio commentary that Kyubey's design wasn't based off any character.

[[File:Madoka main page.png|right|200px]]

{{Nihongo|'''''Puella Magi Madoka Magica'''''|魔法少女まどか☆マギカ|Mahō Shōjo Madoka Magika}}, the first title in the ''Puella Magi'' series, is a production of animation studio [[wikipedia:Shaft (company)|SHAFT]] and [[wikipedia:Aniplex|Aniplex]] under [[Atsuhiro Iwakami]] as a main producer. The series was directed by [[Akiyuki Shinbo]] and written by [[Gen Urobuchi]] with original character designs by [[Ume Aoki]]. ''Madoka Magica'' began development after Akiyuki Shinbo expressed his desire to work on a new magical girl series after ''[[wikipedia:Magical Girl Lyrical Nanoha|Magical Girl Lyrical Nanoha]]'' to producer Atsuhiro Iwakami while they were working on ''[[wikipedia:Hidamari Sketch|Hidamari Sketch]]'' and ''[[wikipedia:Bakemonogatari|Bakemonogatari]]''.

The show, a total of [[#Episodes|12 episodes]], broadcasted on MBS, TBS and CBC between January 6, 2011 and April 21, 2011 with a delay after Episode 10, due to production and broadcast delays related to the [[wikipedia:2011 Tōhoku earthquake and tsunami|2011 Tōhoku earthquake and tsunami]]. All Blu-rays and DVDs released were delayed by one month sequentially from its original plans.

=== Plot ===

There exist "Messengers of Magic" who have the power to grant one wish to a chosen girl. However, that girl must then become a Magical Girl and fight against witches, evil creatures born from curses that are responsible for murders and suicides. A schoolgirl named [[Madoka Kaname]] and her friend [[Sayaka Miki]] are approached by one of these Messengers of Magic named [[Kyubey]] and a Magical Girl named [[Mami Tomoe]] with an offering to become a Magical Girls. But as this is all happening, [[Homura Akemi]], another Magical Girl, tries to prevent Madoka and friends from making such a deal...

Starkiller:

Konnichi wa! I'm Starkiller. I'll just say that I live somewhere in the United States.

I am a huge Japanese anime\manga fan. My time favorite anime of all time is, of course, Madoka Magica. I've been a fan ever since it came out is early 2011. (My other favorite anime\manga is One Piece.)

I'm such a huge fan that I have bought all 3 english mangas. I'll also buy the mangas for Kazumi and Oriko when they are released. Soon I will be buying all 3 Limited Editions Animplex english dub volumes as well. When the movie are released, I'll get them as well.

It is in my interest to make Madoka Wiki as accurate as possible. Whatever needs to be done, I will do it.

I love artwork. When I get lots of free time, I'll upload some pictures that I've found online to share. They will be under all these typed words.

If you have any questions, please leave them is the Discussion page and I'll try to answer them as best as I can.

Starkiller:

Konnichi wa! I'm Starkiller. I'll just say that I live somewhere in the United States.

I am a huge Japanese anime\manga fan. My time favorite anime of all time is, of course, Madoka Magica. I've been a fan ever since it came out is early 2011. (My other favorite anime\manga is One Piece.)

Guidelines

2013-01-24T19:07:58Z

Starkiller: Retyped somethings here and there.

{{Note|These guidelines are still work in progress. Feel free to discuss them in the talkpage.}}

Before you start to edit a webpage, it is very important to keep the following list of guidelines in mind.

== The Usage Of Spoiler Tags ==

* The [[Template:spoiler|inline spoiler tag]] should only be used when spoilering one word or part of a sentence. It should only be used when no alternative would allow a spoiler alert to be displayed in a convenient way.
* For paragraphs or pages, use [[Template:Spoilers]] instead. This will display a boxed spoiler alert relative to the whole page/section
* Pages or section relative to a specific chapter/episode do not need an alert. If people read the page about Episode 12, they ''might'' figure out that the ending is likely to be revealed. Adding a warning in the introduction is acceptable though.

== Presence And Referencing Of Speculation ==

* Speculation is allowed in the "Speculation" section of the pages. If none exist, then please feel free to create one.
** On the other hand, please only post official, confirmed or generally accepted facts outside of these sections.
* Speculation comes in three kinds:
** '''Confirmed''': for speculation that has been proven true by at least one element from canon. If possible, try to explain what renders a theory valid.
** '''Debunked''': for speculation that has been ''proven false'' by canon, i.e. there is at least one element that ''explicitly'' goes against the theory. If you cannot give a proper reference for a counter-example, no matter how unlikely the theory is, it should stay unconfirmed
** '''Unconfirmed''' or '''unknown''': for theories that are neither proven right nor wrong
* If possible, please try to properly tag the theories you edit. This is not an absolute obligation, but it helps finding out which theory is proven right and which is proven wrong.
** For the theories that have their own page, use the [[:Category:Confirmed theories]], [[:Category:Debunked theories]] or [[:Category:Articles]].
** For the theories that are part of another page (character page, episode page, ...), please refer to [[Template:Theory/Header]]

== Scanlations, Fansubs and Copyrighted Material ==

* DO NOT provide links to subbed episodes, manga scanlations and other borderline legal content. This is a wiki, not a megaupload wanna-be server.
* Uploading of official art, screenshots or specific scanlated pages is acceptable if they serve a specific purpose (illustrating an article, showing something, etc.). Obviously you won't start uploading a whole book just for the heck of it.
* When uploading a fanwork, please states its source (if available) as the file description.

== Talkpages ==

* Please always sign your comments with four tildes (<nowiki>~~~~</nowiki>) before posting. If you can't write tildes easily on your keyboard, there's even a button at the top of the posting form to do it for you
* You can indent your comments by using colons (<nowiki>:</nowiki>) at the beginning of a line. This way, you can easily answer to someone by posting below them and indenting your contribution.

== Articles And File Uploads ==

* [[Translated Official Documents]] (and its talkpage) is for ''translated'' (or at least summarized) documents only. Uploading a file without its translation is fine, but please do not add it to either of these pages if you do not provide at least a basic description of its content.
** Also, please use [[Translated Official Documents/Redesign]] instead of [[Talk:Translated Official Documents]] for draft translations from now on; documents from the latter are gradually being moved to the former so this would ease the migration process.
* Please do not upload a file without knowing its source or a good enough indication that would allow us to find it. If you know the source, please add it as a file description.
* If you want a file to be translated (or a translation to be checked), please add it to [[:Category:Translation request]]. You can do so by adding <nowiki>[[Category:Translation request]]</nowiki> in the file description field.
* When editing a translation page, please refrain from making substantial edits if the translation is quoted to come from some outside source. The same applies to repostings of outside information originally in English. Correcting formatting, obvious typos and very simple grammar errors is fine, but more substantial edits are not considered appropriate.However, if the page contains a translation originating from outside, you know the original language (Japanese, in most cases), have access to the original text, and are confident that you can wholly re-translate it with a clearly better result than the currently quoted outside source, it may be desirable that you replace the current version with your translation. However, please don't overuse this right. When in doubt, post a proposal of new translation on the talk page to let other editors decide.Original translations by wiki editors and anonymous authors are treated as community property and can be edited without restrictions. Of course, despite of that, please be careful not to deviate from the meaning of the original text.

== Page Structure ==

=== Image Galleries ===
* The galleries should be split up into the following four categories when applicable: "Official Art," "Screenshots," "Fanart," and "Miscellaneous." When a page doesn't have any images that can fit into one of the galleries, that gallery will be omitted: for example, the [[Episode 12]] page will only have the "Screenshots" and "Fanart" galleries, whereas the [[Madoka Kaname]] page may have all four.
** "Official Art" contains concept art, promotional images, Ume Aoki's doujinshi and illustrations, manga images, and so on.
** "Screenshots" includes screenshots. Please try to keep the screenshots as relevant as possible to the page.
** "Fanart" contains illustrations, comics, and anything else that was generated by fans. Please identify your source ''prior'' to uploading; if you can't find out who made it, don't upload it!
** "Miscellaneous" contains [[:File:Kyouko apples ep7.jpg|macros]], [[:File:Grief_Seed_from_episode_10.PNG|analysis images]], and other visuals that don't fit into the above categories. These tend to contain official screenshots and illustrate certain observations or theories. ''Do not abuse this category!'' First think carefully about which of the three categories above your image may fall into, and always remember to keep it relevant.
* Do not forget that this wiki also provides an [[Fanworks#Image_Pack|image pack]]. If you found a great image, but it doesn't really belong on the page (i.e. it's not clearly related to any page), don't hesitate to append it to the image pack instead.
** Speaking of which, the relevant part of the image pack (if any) should also be linked from the "galleries" sections.

=== Character Pages ===
* Character pages may be adapted depending on the needs, but should somehow respect the following layout:
** Personality
** History (or "Backstory")
** Power, weapons and abilities
** Trivia
** Speculation
** Galleries
* When setting up a gallery, do not forget to observe the guidelines above
* Do not forget to properly tag the speculations (see below)
* Do not forget that character pages have a talkpage, so discussion shouldn't occur on the page itself

=== Episode Pages ===
* The usual layout is:
** Summary
** Runes
** Observations
** Speculation
** Images
** See also/external links
* You may add additional section/subsections, but try to keep the general structure clear
* Do not forget to split the image galleries as explained above
* The "speculation" section should only be used to explain theories, their variation(s), and what makes them right/wrong. Please do not use this section as a talkpage.
** Also, please tag the theories properly: a "confirmed" theory must have at least one element from the franchise that goes in the same direction; a "debunked" theory must have at least one contradiction with canon; all other theories are "unknown".

==Frequently Asked Questions==

=== Wiki Editing ===
;How do I sign a comment?
:Add four tildes (<nowiki>~~~~</nowiki>) at the end of your comment, and it will automatically include your name and a timestamp. Please always sign your comments since the talkpages become hard to read otherwise

;How do I delete a page or file?
:You probably can't. If you want a page or file to get deleted, add it to the [[:Category:Deletion requests]]. That means adding the line <nowiki>[[Category:Deletion requests]]</nowiki> at the end of a page or file description field. A moderator will delete it after a few days if no complaints have been made against it. Also, if it's not trivial, please include the reason why you want to file/page gone in the edit notes ("Summary" field).

;I want to contribute, but I don't know what to do ...
:The [[Wishlist]] has a list of the most awaited contributions. If you really don't know what to do, taking a look there might give you some inspiration.

;How do I create a new page?
:The three easiest to accomplish it are:
:* Edit some existing page and add a link to the page you want to create, by typing its desired title within a <code><nowiki>[[...]]</nowiki></code> tag, like an ordinary wiki link. It will show up as a "red" link. Click it, and the edit page will show up.
:* Type the desired name of the page in the search box. At the top of the (likely empty) search result list, there will be a red link with your page title. Upon clicking on it, the editor for the new page will open.
:* Faster, but slightly more technical: write the page title directly after "wiki.puella-magi.net/" in the address bar. For instance, if you want to create a page named "Test page", just write "<nowiki>http://wiki.puella-magi.net/Test page</nowiki>" as an URL. You can then use the "Create" tab at the top right of the screen to display the editor.
:If neither method works, it probably means you're not logged in, or your account is not yet fully active. To be able to upload files and create new pages, you need an account which is at least 24 hours old.

;How do I rename a page?
:At the top of the site, between the "View history" tab and the search box, there's a popup menu arrow. Within that popup menu, there's a "Move" link.

[[File:No Image Wide.svg|thumb|right|This is an example]]
;How do I include a file in a page?
:First, make sure that your file is uploaded on the wiki; if it is not, you can do so on [[Special:Upload|this page]]. Then, you can include your file in a page by writing <code><nowiki>[[File:filename]]</nowiki></code>. Furthermore, you can add arguments (linked together with <nowiki>|</nowiki>) to specify:
:* The position ("left", "center" or "right")
:* The width (in pixels, e.g. "20px"; this will automatically resize your image.)
:* Whether or not the image is a thumbnail ("thumb" arg; your image is displayed in a gray box)
:* A legend (for thumbnails only, just type your text as a last argument).
:For instance, <code><nowiki>[[File:No Image Wide.svg|thumb|right|This is an example]]</nowiki></code> will provide the example to the right.

;How do I make a link to a file or a special page then? (category, template, ...)
:MediaWiki's syntax is a little ambiguous since the <code><nowiki>[[...]]</nowiki></code> syntax does not produce a link when used with a special page. If you want to do so, (for instance, you want to [[:File:No Image Wide.svg|make a link to this super-cool image]]), you will have to add a colon (<code>:</code>) before the page name. For instance, the link provided before is written <code><nowiki>[[:File:No Image Wide.svg|make a link to this super-cool image]]</nowiki></code>

=== File Upload And Account Management ===

;How do I upload a file?
:At the bottom of the navigation sidebar, in the "Toolbox" section, there is an "[[Special:Upload|Upload file]]" link. If you don't see it or it doesn't work, it probably means you're not logged in, or your account is not yet fully active. To be able to upload files and create new pages, you need an account which is at least 24 hours old.

;I updated a file but it doesn't show up. How come?
:For technical reasons, files sometime need up to 5 minutes to get updated. Be patient, your update will show up soon.

;How do I create an account?
:Click on the "Log in / create account" link in the top right corner of the page. Then, on the login form, click "Create an account". It's that simple.

;I just created my account, but I can't upload files nor create pages ...
:You will have to wait 24 hours to be able to upload files and create new pages. This restriction is a protection measure against spamming and vandalism. We're very sorry for the inconvenience.

=== About The Content ===

;What is canon? What is non-canon?
:Everything that is under "Speculation" and "Fanart" is fanmade content, so they are non-canon. Everything that is on the [[Articles]] page is fanmade analyses based on canon content. Everything that is under [[Theories]] is fanmade as well. All the rest should be canon, unless it is explicitly identified otherwise.

;Should I say "Puella Magi" or "Magical Girl"?

:That's a very good question. Here's how things should be done:
:* When talking about a series, or the entire franchise, use "Puella Magi" since that's the official title.
:* When referring to Kyubey's preys, official sources ([http://www.madokamagicausa.com the official website] and [[Aniplex USA Madoka Premiere|official subtitles]]) use "magical girl" (in lower case). Hence, this should be the term used on this wiki. However, due to gg using "Puella Magi" in their subs, that latin translation has been widely used, even on this wiki. It is then possible that you still see "Puella Magi" used as a noun on older pages. In that case, just try to stay consistent when editing: either use "Puella Magi" too, or replace all instances by "Magical Girl".

Shaft

2013-01-24T18:47:49Z

Starkiller: Added a little more about the company.

[[File:Shaft_Logo.png]]

[[File:Shaft-office.jpg|thumb|SHAFT head office]]
[[wikipedia:Shaft_%28company%29 | SHAFT]] is an animation studio based in Tokyo, Japan. It was founded in 1975 and has produced anime such as ''[[wikipedia:Hidamari Sketch|Hidamari Sketch]]'', ''[[wikipedia:Bakemonogatari|Bakemonogatari]]'', and ''[[wikipedia:Sayonara,_Zetsubou-Sensei | Sayonara Zetsubo Sensei]]''. It has [http://www.shaft-web.co.jp/ an official site] in Japanese.

==The History==

Shaft was founded on September 1, 1975 by Hiroshi Wakao, the former animator of Mushi Production. The company was originally founded to paint animation, but later worked on animation productions as a subcontractor. They were able to produce their own first original series, Yume kara, Samenai (夢から、さめない) in 1987.

In 2000, after Shaft cooperated with Gainax to produce a special remastered DVD of Gunbuster, they were in joint production with Gainax to produce Mahoromatic, This Ugly And Beautiful World, and He Is My Master. After Hiroshi Wakao retired in 2004, Kubota Mitsutoshi has become Shaft's representative director. Their painting group has also been downsized in order to strengthen their digital group. Since the joint works with Gainax, Shaft focused their efforts on adaptations of acclaimed Mangas and Light Novels, until 2011 when they released their first original anime series in over a decade: Puella Magi Madoka Magica.

Madoka Magica Episode 1: I First Met Her in a Dream… or Something

2013-01-09T22:14:00Z

Starkiller: Added the Speculation header

<blockquote>
''"Madoka Kaname and Sayaka Miki, may I ask for a request from you?"'' 
''"I want you to make a contract with me and become magical girls."'' ~ [[Kyubey]]
</blockquote>

{{Infobox_episode
|name = As If We Met in a Dream…
|jname = 夢の中で逢った、ような…
|date = 6 January 2011 
|script = Gen Urobuchi
|storyboard = Yoshiharu Ashino
|director = Yukihiro Miyamoto
|adirector = Ryouma Ebata
}}


== Summary ==
[[File:EC01.jpg|right|300px]]
14 year-old Madoka Kaname has a dream in which a dark haired girl is struggling against an evil force.

As Madoka wakes up and goes to school that morning, the very same girl, [[Homura Akemi]], enrolls in her class. Even stranger, Homura seems to know Madoka and later confronts her in the hallway about whether she cares for her friends or not, saying she should not try to change her life, lest she risk losing everything.

After school, whilst visiting a record store with her friend, [[Sayaka Miki]], Madoka hears a voice calling for help. Following it to a floor under maintenance, she finds a small creature named [[Kyubey]] being attacked by Homura. As Homura insists that she hand Kyubey over, Sayaka helps Madoka and Kyubey escape by discharging a fire extinguisher on Homura.

While fleeing, they are caught in a strange illusion and approached by strange creatures. However, they are rescued at the last second by another girl named [[Mami Tomoe]], who transforms into a magical girl and defeats the creatures, dispelling the illusion. After allowing Homura to escape, Mami heals Kyubey, who tells Madoka and Sayaka he intents to form a contract with them to make them magical girls.

==Runes==
See the [[Runes:Episode_1|Runes of episode 1]] page for decryption of the messages the witch and her familiars wrote in runes.

==Observations==
[[File:Ep2 Goethe Quote 2.png|thumb|300px|These runes are an excerpt from "The Hexeneinmaleins" in Goethe's Faust.]]

===References to Faust===
The very first shot of the series after the curtains rise is a [[Media:Prolog_in_himmel.jpg|title card]] that reads (in runes) "Prolog im Himmel". This is the title of the Prologue of Goethe's Faust, in which Mephistopheles and God make a wager over the soul of Faust. The runes underneath the title read "2011".

After Madoka and Sayaka run away from Homura, four [[Anthony|Anthonies]] are seen "speaking" or singing moving streams of runes which form a quote from "The Hexeneinmaleins" in Goethe's Faust. This quote is a basic magic spell demonstrated to Faust on his first visit to a witch. It describes a 3x3 numerical grid where each row and column adds up to 15.
Here is a translation of the passage.
{| border="1" cellpadding="5" cellspacing="1" style="width: 640px; border-collapse: collapse; border-color: #ddd;"
! style="text-align: right; width: 50%; background: #efefef;"|Original text
! style="text-align: left; width: 50%; background: #efefef;"|Translation
|-
| style="text-align: right; line-height: 160%;"|Die Hexe Du mußt verstehn! Aus Eins mach' Zehn, Und Zwey laß gehn, Und Drey mach' gleich, So bist du reich. Verlier' die Vier! Aus Fünf und Sechs, So sagt die Hex', Mach' Sieben und Acht, So ist's vollbracht: Und Neun ist Eins, Und Zehn ist keins. Das ist das Hexen-Einmal-Eins!
| style="text-align: left; line-height: 160%;"|The Witch This you must ken (understand) From one make ten, And two let be, make even three, Then rich you'll be. Skip o'er the four! From five and six, The Witch's tricks, Make seven and eight, 'Tis finished straight; And nine is one, And ten is none, That is the witch's one-time-one!
|}

[[File:E1_ring_with_text.jpg|300px|right]]
Inside the witch's barrier, cut-out rings containing German text appear which can be assumed to be quotes from Faust like a [[Media:Ep2_Goethe_Quote_3.png|similar ring]] in episode two.

Please also refer to the [[Speculah:Madoka_Magica_and_Faust|Madoka Magica and Faust]] page for in-depth analysis and speculation on references to Faust found throughout the series.

===Math===
During class, Homura is presented with advanced algebra problems and solves them in a seemingly effortless, well-practiced fashion. Mitakihara Middle School's coursework is well above the normal middle school level, and some even appeared on the prestigious Tokyo University's entrance exam. See the [[Mathematics of Madoka Magica]] page for details and solutions.

[[File:Madoka_BD_4_1.jpg|200px|right]]
===Madoka's House===
Madoka lives in a futuristic house that features cutting edge architecture, a colossally spacious bathroom with digital screens that display currency exchange rates, and other high-tech amenities. See the [[Madoka's House]] page for details.

===Revisions===
Numerous changes were made between the TV and BD versions of the episode, as is common in SHAFT anime. See [[Episode revisions#Episode 1|revisions for this episode]] for details.

===Ending===
In the original TV version, neither this, [[episode 2]] or [[episode 11]] have any ending. The BD version added the character song [[See You Tomorrow]] to fill this place.

==Speculations==

==Trivia==

Episode 1 first aired on Thursday, January 6 2011 at 25:30 JST (Friday at 1:30AM JST) on [http://www.mbs.jp/index-e.html MBS].

===Slowed-down BGM===
Many fans have noticed that in the original broadcast, all the background music (most notably, Magia played during the prologue scene) is played slower and at a lower pitch. In the AT-X version (and reportedly the webcast version, too), this was corrected, causing the need for the tunes to be edited differently to fit the video. Some fans prefer "Magia (slow version)" and have uploaded it to YouTube. 

===Checkerboards and Chains===
Although it may be coincidental, "dark scenes" within Episode 1 include many chains and checkerboard patterns, symbols usually associated with Black★Rock Shooter.

Starkiller:

Konnichi wa! I'm Starkiller. I am a huge Japanese anime\manga fan. My time favorite anime of all time is, of course, Madoka Magica. I've been a fan ever since it came out is early 2011.

I'm such a huge fan that I have bought all 3 english mangas. I'll also buy the mangos for Kazumi and Oriko when they are released. Soon I will be buying all 3 Limited Editions Aniplex english dub volumes as well.

It's in my interest to make Madoka Wiki as accurate as possible. When I get lots of free time, I'll upload some pictures that I've found online to share. They will be under all these typed words.

If you have any questions, please leave them is the Discussion page of my account and I'll try to answer them as best as I can.
