==In Tart Magica==<br />
The Weeping Hare Witch with a sadistic nature. Her special ability allows her to transform back into a magical girl at her death. She is shown to act like a magnet, drawing (nearly) every weapon on the battlefield towards her before using them to attack her enemies. The only weapons excluded are those given to [[Tart]] and [[Eliza Celjska|Eliza]] by [[Pernelle]].<br />
<br />
Enfant Terrible is shown to also have the power to take the magic away from any Magical Girl who is unlucky enough to look into her multiple eyes. In Tart Magica, Enfant Terrible uses this power to make all of the magical girls unable to fight the Witch for as long as she looks at them. They only defeat her after Tart and Eliza combine their power and take down the Witch, which causes it to turn back into an incapacitated Lapin.<br />

"The Doppel of sadism. Its form is a weeping hare. The master of this emotion holds feelings of utter brutality in her heart. It may appear to be an adorable rabbit, but one must take absolute care not to lower their guard near it. In reality, it’s the exact opposite of the impression its appearance may give off. Should one be captured by it, they will be overwhelmed as if caught in the fangs of a wild beast, then innocently, playfully, and most cruelly tormented. Accompanied all the while by its pure and terrifying laughter, which resounds far and wide… If one meets this fate, the only option left is to accept the fact that your luck has run out." - Magia Record description.<br />

Enfant Terrible appears in Magia Record as Lapin's Doppel attack, and in her five star card art.<br />

===Doppel Description===<br />
[[File:Doppel 104900 l.png|thumb|right|150px|Drekka Minni, Olga's doppel]]<br />
The Doppel of loss. Its form is an empty ship. The master of this emotion has lost her sister who grew up with her like a twin tree, and thus has a hollow heart. And, searching for the lost half of her body, she wanders aimlessly. The doppel takes such a master on an endless journey with a purpose and no purpose exists. Only its master can board the ship, and if anyone else approaches the ship, their heart will be swallowed up by the waves, and it will follow this doppel like a ghost.<br />

==Etymology==<br />
* The name Olga is of Scandinavian origin. It means "blessed" and "successful".<br />
<br />
==Trivia==<br />
* Her soul gem is shaped like the rune letter Laguz, which means lake, water.<br />
* Olga's design may represent the future due to its design having futuristic elements such as holographic wings<br />
* Olga and [[Gunhild]] both share similarities with [[Tart]] and [[Riz Hawkwood|Riz]]. Some being, <br />

**Olga appears to lead this war, while Tart lead a war in her story.<br />
**Both of the pairs have an affinity for light and dark.<br />
**Both are illustrated by Masugitsune.<br />
**Both of their stories take place in historical Europe.<br />
* Her aesthetic could be a reference to [[wikipedia:Valkyrie|Valkyries]], warrior women who rode on horseback, a wolf or boar, and armed with a spear. They guided the souls of the dead to Odin's hall Vallhalla.<br />
**In her five star art, she is seen riding a horse. This further references Valkyries.<br />
* Drekka is an Icelandic and Old Norse verb meaning “to drink” or “to imbibe”. Minni, in both languages, means "memory", "recall", or "recollection".<br />
** Together they can mean "to drink to the memory of someone".<br />
**Her Doppel might also be based in the [[wikipedia:Naglfar|Naglfar]] or Naglfari, a ship made of nails which is said that would bring all the monsters to kill the gods during the Ragnarök. <br />
* The memoria 'The World My Big Sister Sees' features art of [[wikipedia:Sleipnir|Sleipnir]], the eight-legged horse of Odin, as well as [[wikipedia:Fenrir|Fenrir]].

Puella Magi Madoka Magica Mobcast, officially named '''Puella Magi Madoka ☆ Magica the Movie [Part One: Beginnings/Part Two: Eternal]''', was a mobile game developed by Mobcast and Bilibili for Android and IOS. It was available in China, Hong Kong, Macau and Taiwan, from December 28, 2016 until January 4, 2018. Though the game text was entirely in Chinese, it featured voice acting in Japanese from the original voice actors during gameplay and in the main story chapters.<br />
<br />
''Note: the information in this page has been gathered from Chinese sources through machine translation. There may be inaccuracies.''<br />
<br />
==Plot==<br />
The game’s plot was intended to take place over three weeks, during Homura’s third time loop. By the time story mode begins, all girls have already contracted and are fighting in Mitakihara, with Mami, Homura, Madoka and Sayaka working as a team. Eight story chapters were released during the game’s lifetime.<br />
<br />
==Gameplay==<br />
The basic gameplay is a side-scroller beat ‘em up platformer. The five protagonists from the anime are available as playable characters. Characters are unlocked as the player’s level increases, with Sayaka being available from the start, and they each have their own different ways of fighting. For example, Madoka excels at long range and charge her attacks for extra damage, while Sayaka is tough but has little attack and fights in melee. Each character also has a unique assist skill that can be used in duo battles and a supreme skill that can be used after killing enough enemies.<br />
<br />
There are five ways of strengthening each character: inlaying magic stones into their weapons, giving them grief seeds to increase their stats, using skill runes to improve certain attacks and unlocking fetters. It’s also possible to improve their assist skills by having them give each other appropriate gifts (Madoka likes plushies, Sayaka CDs and Homura bombs, for example.)<br />
There are two gameplay modes: barrier (which contains Story mode and Fierce Battle mode) and event. The latter is composed of three types of challenges, which unlock as the player levels up.<br />
<br />
These are Land of Reincarnation, Forbidden Areas and Rescue Battles. In Land of Reincarnation, as the name suggests, it’s impossible to die. Instead the final score is decided based on the damage dealt and the time taken to defeat enemies. It can only be played a set amount of times per day, though losses don’t count towards the maximum. The player must be at least level 20 to play these levels.<br />
Forbidden Areas have the player fight against a single familiar and try to inflict as much damage as possible within the time limit while continually losing health. The longer they last, the more damage they deal, which decides how much points their earn. Afterwards the player gets ranked according to other people’s scores and can obtain rewards based on this.<br />
<br />
Rescue Battles include an NPC that must be protected from the level’s enemies over six stages, with the player character’s health carrying between stages. They can be played twice a day per difficulty level, and come in normal, hard and nightmare modes. They’re only available from level 32 onwards.<br />
<br />
The game also includes a gacha system, with two machines to roll from. One is the coin gacha, and the other is the diamond gacha, both of which offer one free roll per day. The latter generally has better items, and some things like high-rarity magic stones can only be obtained from there.<br />
<br />
Each item has a rarity level measured in stars, between one and six. Some of what can be pulled from the gachas includes grief seeds, gifts, equipment, character cards and magic stones. Sometimes, instead of pulling an entire card, the player gets fragments of a specific card. If they gather enough, they can combine them into a full card. Duplicates can be traded for magic stones.<br />

|}<br />
<br />
==Observations==<br />
* Why Sayaka used raspberry in particular when blueberry would fit her better is unknown. Perhaps as a lead-in to the "red" trait?<br />
** One possibility is because the raspberry is known in Japan as the "healing fruit", with the choice of raspberry for Sayaka referring to her healing powers.<br />
***Another possibility is that Sayaka's seiyuu also voiced Cure Berry in the magical girl show <i>Fresh Pretty Cure!</i>.<br />
* One reason why Kyoko used apple is because, in Catholic religion, exerted by the father, it represents sin.<br />
**On top of that, it does seem to be her trademark favorite food.<br />
* Mami's line is cheese because of her theme colour (yellow like cheese), and because it is the favourite food of Nagisa, who (as Charlotte) ate Mami.<br />
* Mami's line is a reference to Homura's time loops ("goes round in circles"); it could also be a reference to Homura's or ''Madoka Magica''<nowiki>'</nowiki>s repetitive nature.<br />
* Madoka's line foreshadows the ending twists of Homura undermining Ultimate Madoka and ripping her in half ("when the melon splits") and rewriting the world so everyone is alive and happy ("a sweet dream is created").<br />
* Bebe apparently likes melons.<br />
* Sayaka uses the pronoun "watashi" when she instead uses "atashi" as her go-to pronoun. Kyoko, however, still uses "atashi", making her the only one to not use "watashi" in the song (minus Bebe, who does not use a self-referring pronoun).<br />
* Homura referring to herself with "pumpkin" could be a hint to her being a witch, since traditionally people link pumpkins to Halloween and traditional witches. Pumpkins have also been a symbol for "the world", which fits, given they're in Homura's barrier &mdash; a world of her creation.<br />
<!-- * also he can be a link with the headless horseman,where Homura copy multiple strokes throughout history. (I have no idea what this is trying to say.)--><br />
* Homura and Mami do not participate much in the song; Madoka, Kyoko and Sayaka combined sing most of the lyrics, whereas the other two do not. Homura could be explained by her not knowing what's going on or not knowing what to do, but Mami's reason is unknown &mdash; perhaps she's trying to keep Bebe down due to incidents in the starting sequence where Bebe gets close to a terrified Homura, or during Mami's turn where Bebe turns to Mami, hungry and mouth-gaping at the mention of cheese.<br />
* No one's mouths are shown to actually move during the opening and closing lines.<br />
* The dream is bitter because it is the cat's dream, possibly hinting at Kyubey's involvement.<br />
**Cats are also familiars of witches... and Homura is the witch who created the dream... yet she is also the first to notice that something is wrong. The dream is 'bitter'.<br />
<br />
==Symbolic Analysis==<br />
<br />
Sayaka hides her face in this clip. In the series, after learning the truth about Soul Gems, Sayaka found herself to be an ugly monster and a disgrace. She refused to confess to Kyosuke because of this, as she considered herself too inhuman for his love. -"Watashi wa raspberry!" = I am the raspberry. Raspberries are both sweet and sour, referencing Sayaka's hot and cold mood changes. - rasperries are known as 'healing fruit' in japan, which could be a reference to sayaka's powers - <br />
<br />
- Kyoko equates herself to an apple. Her color theme is red, and apples seem to be one of her favorite foods. The food she had with her when she brought Sayaka to the old church in Episode 7 was a sack full of red apples. Ringo (apples) are representative of fate in many Japanese myths. Kyoko's obsession with them mirrors her (original) belief system. <br />
<br />
- "Watashi wa cheese!" = I am the cheese. The reason for this is her color theme is yellow/gold, and Bebe/Nagisa's favorite food is cheese. In fact, the reason Charlotte ate Mami in the series was because she thought she was cheese. - "The cake spins around in circles" = Homura's time travel. <br />
<br />
- Homura equates herself to a pumpkin. Pumpkins are often associated with Halloween, witches, the fall and harvest, paganism, etc. This is foreshadowing Homura actually being within her own witch labyrinth. Homura's feet seem to move in a ballet-like manner. Considering her story is very similar to that of The Nutcracker Ballet, and that she did ballet in her transformation sequence... <br />
<br />
- "The cake is sweet." Madoka is a sweet girl. - Madoka equates herself to a melon. The next line, "when a melon breaks, it creates a sweet dream", is foreshadowing the ending of the movie. When Homura splits Madoka's Magical Girl and human halves apart, she overshadows the universe in a demon labyrinth, making the world almost as sickeningly sweet and dream-like as the first part of the movie. - "But the dream tonight is a bitter one indeed." Underlying beneath all the happiness and idealism, the world they're in is bitter, because it's a creation of Homura's most desperate wishes. It's what she wanted but could never have. - "Atop the plate is the dream of the cat." a reference to madoka's first wish.<br />
<br />
==Rule interpretations==<br />
The song is sung in a ''Sprechgesang'' sort of style - the words are spoken rhythmically rather than sung melodically, accompanied by background music.<br />
<br />
===Cumulative description===<br />
A game of memory and improvisation, players take turn singing the nursery rhyme. On their turn, a player has to come up with and sing:<br />
<br />
# An object with all the qualities previously mentioned<br />
# A new quality that the object shares<br />
# The next player to pass the song to<br />
<br />
The player loses when they fail to sing their lines in time. In-universe, Madoka picked "melon" — which is "round", "red", "something [[Charlotte|Bebe]] likes", "goes round in circles", and "sweet" — but couldn't come up with a new quality for "melon".<br />
<br />
===Sequential description===<br />
Alternatively, the requirements could be the following:<br />
<br />
# A food object that shares the previous quality.<br />
# A quality that applies to the next player to pass the song to.<br />
<br />
The "round" quality does not describe Sayaka because she comes first and Madoka does not have to supply a new quality because she is the last player. With these rules, the following character observations can be made:<br />
<br />
* Sayaka is horrible at improvisation, since "red" is a dirt-simple observation. Or, she could be giving Kyoko an easy turn.<br />
* Kyoko is similarly unimaginative; she uses "something Bebe likes" directed towards Mami, who is yellow like cheese, and good friends with Bebe. On the other hand, Kyoko's line on its own is very unspecific.<br />
* Mami sees Homura as a clumsy child.<br />
* Homura sees Madoka as sweet.<br />

==Summary==<br />
A Magical Girl who is trying to create a world where no one has to become a Witch, Alina is an artistic genius obsessed with life and death who pours herself into her work, dreaming of making masterpieces featuring Witches themselves. She's used herself as a subject for her art when in a creative slump.<br />
<br />
===Doppel Description===<br />
The Doppel of fever. Its form is a tube.<br />
The master of this Doppel is entranced by the beauty of her own Doppel, but has yet to realize that it is still hiding its true form. It attacks from where it sprouts out of her back, using a large projection of itself made from the hardened paint (Pathogen Tempera) it emits. It boasts a Witch-like figure as it does this, despite its Doppel nature — this is because its human body becomes so coated in paint that she's no longer visible. The master cannot verify the appearance of her Doppel, but apparently it is "just as beautiful when you view it from the inside".<br />
<br />
===Side Story===<br />
Alina wins an award in Modern Art for her artwork. At school, people discuss the winning painting, which is a self-portrait of Alina. The students say that supposedly, Alina couldn't think of anything to make for the prize, and she ended up snapping all the wood in the prep room. According to this rumor, Alina only got the idea to make a self-portrait when she was about to snap the canvas in two. She had a junior take a photo of her, and then drew herself based on that. However, she then coated her image in sand, which confuses the students telling the rumor.<br />
<br />
Alina overhears the students talk about her. At the clubroom with [[Karin Misono]], Alina takes her milk. Karin says it's mean, but Alina says it's more mean to talk about people behind their backs. Karin says Alina was happy to win the award, and Karin's the one who took the photo in the first place. Alina says that Karin needs to work on her art before she can be proud of herself. Karin apologizes and says Alina's amazing. Alina calls her foolish and leaves. Alina thinks that if she was actually aiming for the prize, she wouldn't have minded letting the story get out. However, she's more interested in creating art simply to create. Alina is reminded that one of the judges was going to see her, but decides to pass.<br />
<br />
Later, Alina is called to the teacher's room. The announcement says she has a guest. Deducing it's the judge she was supposed to meet, Alina mutters she'll pass. Suddenly a teacher barges into the room Alina's in and tells her not to make them wait any longer. When Alina remains obstinate, the teacher tells her not to be spoiled and asks her if she realizes how many people wanted the prize. Alina says if that's the case she'll just give the prize back. The teacher tells her to come, but Alina runs off.<br />
<br />
Alina goes to a restaurant. Karin, who was looking for Alina, eventually finds her. Karin says she got a letter from the judge, saying she was taken to meet them. Alina quietly apologizes. Karin says she wants to go buy art supplies with Alina. Alina says Karin's too much of a free girl, but tells her to hold on a bit. Alina reads the letter, and suddenly says she's leaving. As she wanders down the street, she can only think of the letter's contents: "It seems you are capable of creating a work that is so beautiful and arcane that viewers will think about it until their deaths. However, your work, which has no external theme, is a powerful drug that might drive people insane. That's why I want to tell you this. If you don't want to change the world, stop creating. You are only fifteen years old; if you haven't realized this, your brilliance will probably run out." Alina thinks she doesn't get it.<br />
<br />
Alina figures that the letter was asking about the message she was trying to convey with a piece of her art. She thinks this is the first person who asked about her values, and not her work. Alina admits she wouldn't mind if her work really was some kind of poison or drug. Alina admits she doesn't know why she creates art and decides to review how she got to where she was. Alina heads to an art gallery that is exhibiting her works. She goes to one of the museum workers, a girl named [[Mayu Kozue]]. Alina asks if there's a poster listing her past works, saying that her parents should have sent the information. Mayu says she'll check and brings her the poster. Alina says the poster has too much information, and asks if it can be replaced with a simpler version she'll send. Mayu says she'll ask.<br />
<br />
The poster explains that Alina was born in the Sakae Ward of Kamihama City. Her parents had an art gallery known as "Gallery Gray". At age 8, when her dog and grandparents died, Alina became fascinated by the transformation from living creature into object, and began trying to depict the boundary between life and death. Alina used time lapse photography and posing skeletons, ultimately creating her first artwork at age eleven. Alina created several works since then, including a picture drawn at age 14 using charcoal that came from carbonized corpses.<br />
<br />
Alina mutters that if she goes over her art again, she has nothing to question. However, she does receive inspiration from the things that excite her. Alina thanks Mayu and prepares to leave. Before Alina goes, Mayu says her art is amazing. Alina wonders if Mayu has fallen to her drug, and if her brilliance will fade at the age of fifteen. Alina figures she needs to be more creative. She tries making things in the clubroom, but is disappointed. <br />
<br />
Karin then asks Alina to take a look at the new character she made for her manga. However, Alina begins destroying her painting, saying it's not exciting, sensational, or emotional enough. Karin points out that Alina was working on it all week. Alina simply destroys it and asks Karin to take a photo. Alina looks at it, and says it's terrible. Alina thinks her work has become trash because she has nothing. Even when she was making artwork with her inspiration and senses, she was empty. Alina says she's decided to jump, while narrating that her art should have been more brilliant.<br />
<br />
Having been told her art has no external theme, Alina noticed where she was lacking. She thinks it's something that can't change even if she traveled the world and saw many sights. It's implied she did just that, as Alina says that in one month, she hasn't changed at all. She thinks her brilliance really will fade at fifteen. Alina returns to the club and is met by Karin, who asks where Alina's been. Alina says she was enjoying a bit of travel. She asks if Karin disturbed the painting she broke. Karin says the teachers told her to leave it alone, thinking that it's broken state was part of the art. Alina thinks the teachers are foolish.<br />
<br />
Alina critiques Karin's manga. Karin says that Alina hasn't drawn anything this day, and that she's been acting strange even before taking a trip. Karin asks if it's because of the letter she gave Alina. Alina hesitates, then asks Karin what sort of theme she has in mind when she draws. When Karin doesn't understand, Alina asks her why she wants to draw manga. Karin asks if that will make Alina feel better. Alina admits she doesn't know. Karin says she draws because she wants to make it's readers feel better, just like how she does when she reads the manga "Magical Kirin". Alina says that Karin wants to spread happiness to others, and says she might be more of a genius than she is. Karin insist she isn't, but Alina leaves.<br />
<br />
Alina thinks that even Karin has something she doesn't. She mutters that she can't give birth to anything but a powerful drug, and that she'll lose her brilliance at 15. She then starts laughing and says that gave her the shivers. While near a riverbank, Alina decides she is nearing her death as an artist. Believing herself empty, she says that her realization of this has caused her past works to lose their luster. Alina decides to break all of her old art...including herself. She says that her last artwork will be to go out in a blaze of glory, and when her brilliance fades her body will rot away. A voice tells her if she would really be alright with that. <br />
<br />
The voice is revealed to be [[Kyubey]]. Alina thinks he's a weasel and wonders if something is wrong with her head. Kyubey says she's in "a normal state" and introduces himself. Alina says it could be fun to listen to what he has to say. Kyubey says she's a type of human that is the most difficult to understand, and offers her a contract. Alina says it's like a fantasy, and says she doesn't have a wish. Kyubey says Alina seems "to be in a state similar to when humans are worrying". He offers to help clear up her worries. Alina says he wouldn't understand, and that it would be pointless to get what she wants just by wishing for it. <br />
<br />
Kyubey points out she would still have what she wants. Alina hits him in response and says he doesn't get it. Kyubey says she possesses great potential, but Alina has no intention of using it, and has already decided on making her final piece of art. Kyubey begins to ask something, but Alina leaves. She then resolves to create her last artwork. The next day, Alina walks through the city, looking happy. She turns out to be excited over her impending "end" and thinks the holiday couldn't get any better. Arriving at the art gallery, Alina pulls out a hammer and saw and starts destroying her art. A shocked Mayu calls for help. A man shows up, but Alina leaves. <br />
<br />
Alina then heads to a roof, saying that it will end with herself. She thinks that she'll record the moment where all of her light disappears. Kyubey appears, and asks her to reconsider becoming a magical girl. Alina hits him again and says if she solved her problems with a wish, she wouldn't be herself anymore. Kyubey suggests she wish for something else. Alina says she wants Kyubey to go away, and then realizes that might not be a bad wish. She explains that her parents often get mad at her for spending all her time painting, and so makes her wish: "I want an area where nobody can disturb me". Kyubey tries to explain more about being a magical girl, but Alina tells him to be quiet. She says she mixed this wish with her life and death, and soon it will be lost as well.<br />
<br />
As Kyubey tells her to stop, Alina "completes her art" and jumps off the roof. Kyubey says he doesn't understand. Alina narrates a message to everyone who said she was a a genius artist: that this is her last piece of artwork. She narrates they were the ones intoxicated with her art, who valued it so much. It's shown that Alina landed in a field of flowers, and had set up a video camera to record her death. There is silence for a long time. Suddenly, a voice calls out that there's a person. <br />
<br />
While floating in a gray haze, Alina finds herself disappointed. She realized that she always had a theme and there was never anything wrong with her in the first place. Her theme was simply her beauty. Alina mutters that knowing that is pointless now, and wonders if dying was really worth it. She think the worst possible ending is for her final work to be a failure. She finds herself wanting the place she wished for. Suddenly, Alina wakes up in the hospital, finding the she can't move. Alina wonders if she was drifting in the space between life and death. She thinks that place had nothing - she was just there thinking. <br />
<br />
Alina is broken from her thoughts when Karin calls out to her. Karin says she's happy Alina woke up, and says she could have died if someone didn't find her. Karin then starts crying. Alina says Karin shouldn't cry, because she was just using her body to make her final artwork. Karin says she doesn't understand, and asks if Alina will turn herself into art again. Alina says she won't because she found her theme - but she still doesn't fully fell like she's alive. Karin grabs her hands and says she's alive. Alina admits she's right. Alina notices Karin is carrying a bag and asks what it is. Karin says she brought her "Phantom Thief Magical Karin" manga and gives it to Alina. She then leaves.<br />
<br />
Alina reads the manga, but can't seem to understand it. Suddenly she hears a knock on the door of her hospital room. It turns out to be [[Touka Satomi]] and [[Nemu Hiiragi]]. Touka says hello, and Nemu says she feels relieved. It turns out they were the ones who found Alina. Alina thanks them, prompting Nemu to say that was outrageously matter-of-fact. Touka asks if Alina is the famous Alina Gray, having heard about her on television. Nemu says her "Psychedelic Adolescent Hymn" had a lot of young visitors. Alina says she didn't know that.<br />
<br />
Nemu hands her a flyer, which talks about "The trepidation and madness of youth". Alina realizes the picture on the flyer is from when she was destroying her artwork. Alina says it's better than being charged for breach of contract and damages. Alina asks if that's all. Nemu says they came to hear Alina's thanks for saving them. Touka says Alina must have hit a "miraculous jackpot" for her to be found by Touka and Nemu, and asks for her thanks in exchange. Alina calls them shameless and tells them to go away. Touka says its not hard, and both her and Nemu say please. Alina asks what they want to do, and Touka explains they want her to have a talk with them. Alina is confused.<br />
<br />
Afterward, Alina says they were weird kids. Kyubey appears and says they have the same potential she does. Alina asks what happened to her. Kyubey explained that when she became a magical girl, Alina's "body became able to fight against witches", and that's the "primary reason" why she survived. Alina admits her final artwork didn't work out, but says she's grateful. Alina explains that she found her theme, and got the place she wished for. Alina says she was a fool to think her work had no theme and says she won't stop creating. She claims what she sends out will be her "beauty".<br />
<br />
Alina senses something, which Kyubey explains is the presence of a witch. Alina transforms and says she will greet it as a magical girl. She enters the witch's barrier and fights a familiar, laughing the whole time. Kyubey says her reaction is unusual. Alina says that this world is overflowing with lifeforms of such a unique design. She says it gives her the shivers. Alina narrates that the material for her next art "will be you". She claims she will show everyone her beauty, and they will become drunk on her art. Alina starts laughing and says it gives her the shivers.<br />
<br />
===Main Story===<br />
====Arc 1====<br />
====Arc 2====<br />
Months later after the defeat of Walpurgisnacht, many Magical Girls living on Kamihama believed she died during the battle. Karin, however, wants to know if the things the other Magical Girls says about Alina are true. After an incident with the [[Promised Blood]] group, Karin is hospitalized, and discovers Alina is there too. Momoko, who went to visit Karin, also discovers Alina is there, but also she's amnesiac.<br />
<br />
===Costume Stories===<br />
====Swimsuit (2019)====<br />
'''For a Masterpiece, Sacrifice is Essential'''<br><br />
Alina is at the mall shopping with Karin. Karin is interested in the screentones and other art supplies, but Alina thinks Karin's lack of talent will be wasted on the art supplies. Karin thinks it's more important to look the part, but before she can blink Alina had already wandered off. Karin remembers she mentioned wanting to look at swimsuits, and offers to pick one out for her. She pushes Alina into a store and they check out the swimsuits. Karin finds several that she thinks would look good on Alina, and Alina tries on a few. Three hours later and Alina has tried on every swimsuit in the shop. Karin suggests the simpler swimsuit while the shopclerk suggests a fancier, pricier one. Alina says she didn't come here to buy a swimsuit, just to ''look'' at them. She would rather design her own, but wasn't sure what materials the latest swimsuits were made of. Alina leaves the store and a flustered Karin behind. Some time later, Alina shows off her finished swimsuit to Karin. She says it's a reflection on paradise and original sin, but Karin doesn't get it.<br />

<br />
==Abilities==<br />
Because of her wish, Alina has the ability to summon her own labyrinths at will. With this ability, she is able to hold other witches within it without the risk of them escaping. She uses this power to feed victims to whatever witch she currently has captured to make it stronger, and to trap witches together until they eat each other, and is thus the reason why all the witches of Kamihama are stronger than elsewhere.<br />
<br />
In the anime, she is able to contain witches, familiars, and instances of their own labyrinths within the cubes of her weapon, which are able to be given to and used by others to release and capture whatever is imprisoned inside.<br />
<br />
The paint her Doppel creates is capable of making whoever comes in contact with it go mad. However, as this did not seem to be the case for [[Sana Futaba]], this was likely either an oversight, or she must consciously choose to inflict insanity on her targets.<br />
<br />
==Etymology==<br />
* The characters of her name use katakana as her parents may be foreign born. In her side story, it states Alina was born in the Sakae Ward of Kamihama City.<br />
* 'Alina' means 'bright, beautiful'.<br />
* Her surname Gray comes from Dorian Gray, the titular character of [[Wikipedia:Oscar Wilde|Oscar Wilde's]] ''[[wikipedia:The_Picture_of_Dorian_Gray|The Picture of Dorian Gray]]''. Dorian was a beautiful youth who was corrupted by another person and turned to a life of hedonism and vanity, losing his morality and believing beauty was the only thing worth striving for in life. Through unknown means (though commonly likened to a deal with the devil), he wishes that a portrait of himself that had been recently painted would age instead of him so that he may remain forever beautiful; his wish is granted, and while he ceases to age, his portrait both ages in his place and displays the darkness within his soul, becoming progressively more grotesque. Dorian ends up becoming both indirectly and directly responsible for the deaths of several characters as a result of his evil, though near the end attempts to turn over a new leaf in the hopes of returning his portrait to normal; however, as his desire to become good ultimately stemmed from selfish intentions, his portrait only grows uglier, and he ultimately ends his own life by destroying his portrait, returning it to its original appearance while he suddenly ages and dies.<br />
* The name of her Witch, Old Dorothy, is both a reference to [[wikipedia:Dorothy_Clutterbuck|Dorothy Clutterbuck]], a woman who was (potentially falsely) identified as the leader of a Wiccan coven by the popularizer of contemporary paganism and Wicca (who referred to her as "Old Dorothy" in his writings), and acts as a feminine form of Dorian.<br />
**It it also the name of [[Wikipedia:Dorothy Wilde|Oscar Wilde's niece]].<br />
***Alina's doppel breaks the pattern set by Iroha's, Ui's, Touka's and Nemu's doppel of referencing works by [[Kenji Miyazawa and Magia Record|Kenji Miyazawa]]. However, [[Shitori Egumo]] does have references to "The Happy Prince", a short story by Oscar Wilde, in its design and familiars.<br />
<br />
==Trivia==<br />
* Alina's weapon looks like the [https://www.livescience.com/10510-viruses-invade.html HIV virus's envelope] and her doppel originally showed the [http://www.health.am/aids/more/cellular-scissors-chop-up-hiv-virus/ virus's anatomy.] You can check out the resemblance [[wikipedia:File:Hiv_replication_cycle.gif|here.]]<br />
* Her illustrators are [[Aoki Ume]] for her four star card and [https://anidb.net/perl-bin/animedb.pl?show=creator&creatorid=46267 Sasagi Koushi] for her five star card.<br />
* The name of Alina's Magia and personal Memoria refer to ''[http://blog.sevenponds.com/soulful-expressions/kuzosu-death-noble-lady-decay-body kuzosu]'', a genre of Japanese paintings from the 13th through 19th centuries. These paintings depicted [[wikipedia:Mara%E1%B9%87asati|the nine stages of a human corpse, according to Buddhist belief]]. In certain Buddhist traditions, monks were taught to reflect on these stages to better understand - and transcend - the physical world.<br />
* While Alina Gray is a foreign name, her origins are listed as Sakae Ward, implying that she may be Half-Japanese, or has foreign parents that moved to Japan before/after she was born.<br />
* In the JP version of the game and anime, Alina speaks Japanese with English mixed in. In the NA version of the game and the English dub of the anime, she speaks English with Italian mixed in.<br />
* Her doppel type being that of Fever may refer to her wish, as people infected with an illness that could cause an epidemic are often put in 'spaces where no one can disturb them' (quarantine).<br />

<div>== About the music ==<br />
<br />
The slowed down version was a mistake? Well, it makes sense, given that the "recap" in ep 10 had the original version, but in my opinion, it was fortunate mistake, and one worth keeping. Oh well. [[User:BrickBreak|BrickBreak]] 14:38, 26 April 2011 (UTC)<br />
:It was quite climatic, yeah. But the 44100/48000 speed ratio, the exact same thing with other BGMs, and the fact that it was corrected in webcast and AT-X versions seem to suggest it was a production error. We'll see what's on the BD. --[[User:KFYatek|KFYatek]] 14:52, 26 April 2011 (UTC)<br />
::I laid my hands on some BDrip today, and the pitch of the song is like in the AT-X version, ie. like on the single. I think the visual comparison is quite exhaustive already, I'll compare the audio tracks tomorrow, probably. I hope to do the comparisons of ep2-4 AT-X versions tomorrow, too. --[[User:KFYatek|KFYatek]] 19:54, 27 April 2011 (UTC)<br />

== How differences are spotted ==<br />
<br />
It's funny to watch an episode [http://img816.imageshack.us/img816/7310/zrzutekranudo.png this way] :D --[[User:KFYatek|KFYatek]] 17:59, 26 April 2011 (UTC)<br />
:(Polish everywhere... I only know one word of it, and it's a pretty nasty one xD)<br>What media player is that? Never seen it before. [[User:BrickBreak|BrickBreak]] 18:13, 26 April 2011 (UTC)<br />
::SMPlayer, it's written in the titlebar :) It's a pretty good port of MPlayer. I used it before I carelessly broke Windows (kept with the standard MPlayer distribution on Linux on my part) --[[User:Homerun-chan|Homerun-chan]] 19:07, 26 April 2011 (UTC)<br />
Coming from the IRC: I think [http://blog.min.chu.jp/?eid=1243310#sequel this link] might interrest you. --[[User:Homerun-chan|Homerun-chan]] 19:07, 26 April 2011 (UTC)<br />
::'''@BrickBreak''': SMPlayer, as seen on the title bars. It's a GUI for MPlayer, and it's a pretty popular solution for Linux (and maybe Mac, I don't know, I know very little about that platform). Not so much for Windows, because MPC is generally better there. (S)MPlayer is still popular among some folks who prefer to have a stand-alone solution and not "pollute" the system with unnecessary DirectShow codecs.<br />About Polish and its nasty words... Well, you know, not so long ago I was walking through a street and some foreigners were talking behind me... and they were talking about Polish words they learned... Guess which words... :/ Kind of shameful for my nation that it's too easy to learn those... ;]<br />'''@Homerun-chan''': Thanks very much for the link! I was going to investigate the Blu-ray versions myself once some rips are out, but it's great to have some reference. --[[User:KFYatek|KFYatek]] 19:11, 26 April 2011 (UTC)<br />
:::Don't worry about that, it happens with every language. I heard that in Portuguese as well. But I can say I played [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lineage_II Lineage II] with a Greek clan for a year and they themselves told me "Greek is easy( pfft, yeah right), you only need to know one word: Malakas ({{spoiler|asshole/wanker}})"<br>As for media players, I've surrendered myself to Media Player Classic. The only bother is that I can't take screenshots with it: for some reason, they all turn black when I close the player, I have to use WMP for that. Then again, since WMP is an idiot with .mkv's, I don't have to worry about subs getting in the way. <br>About the Blu-Ray version... I wasn't expecting that many changes, just mostly cleaning up stuff. But the overhaul they gave Mami's room... Ionno, the atmosphere doesn't suit her. [[User:BrickBreak|BrickBreak]] 19:58, 26 April 2011 (UTC)<br />

<br />
I just finished comparing ep4 MBS and AT-X raws. Before I'll clean up my rough notes and post it on the page, I have to say - the number of differences spotted is HUGE, on a similar level to ep1/2 TV-vs-BD differences. I wonder if they'll change even more for the BD release... Eh, I'll have to do plenty of screencaps, too... --[[User:KFYatek|KFYatek]] 18:18, 28 April 2011 (UTC)<br />
<br />
== General organization ==<br />
Maybe in addition to this page, don't you think we should create a section on every episode's page with the changes for this episode across broadcasts? I think people might be more inclined to reading the changes bit by bit than having a long page to read -- at least the people who aren't looking for that especially. --[[User:Homerun-chan|Homerun-chan]] 19:23, 26 April 2011 (UTC)<br />
:Then there's no point for having a stand-alone page. As you see, lists of changes per episode may turn out pretty lenghty - well, the episode pages are already lenghty, so maybe you're right. I don't know. But I'm either for this page as it is only, or for only sections on episode pages only.<br />I was also thinking about sectioning this page differently, ie.: 1. Webcast revisions, 1.1. Ep1, 1.2. Ep2, ...; 2. AT-X Revisions, 1.1 Ep1, 1.2 Ep2, ...; 3. BD revisions, 3.1. Ep1, 3.2 Ep2, ... What do you think?<br />It'd be hard to convey irregularities like ep10 (MBS -> webcast -> TBS, with changes every time), though. --[[User:KFYatek|KFYatek]] 20:42, 26 April 2011 (UTC)<br />
::Actually I like this layout better. Having one section per episode and then one sub-section per medium is a good and "easy" way to find out changes that have been made over time (if you order your subsections chronologically). The only thing I'd add is a few more comparative screenshots between versions. It can make the page look more appealing, and is sometimes faster for comparisons than a descriptive list (we have a saying like that in French, "a rough sketch is worth more than a long talk". In this case, there would be both: the text-version list with all the differences, and some screencaps as illustrations).<br>Regarding the episodes' pages, the best thing to do then is probably something like the runes: create a new section "Differences between broadcasts", which links to the right section here? --[[User:Homerun-chan|Homerun-chan]] 20:59, 26 April 2011 (UTC)<br />
:::Yes, it sounds OK. I'd like to have more comparative screenshots, too, but the thing is that there can be literally plenty of them. Like the ones [[User:Mutopis|Mutopis]] has uploaded for eps 1-2 - it's 9 pictures about 2000px in height! I had a hard time positioning those screenshots there are here. An alternative would be to put a gallery under every revision and post all the comparison images there, but I somehow not entirely like this idea. But I already like it better than yesterday, so it'll probably settle. --[[User:KFYatek|KFYatek]] 09:36, 27 April 2011 (UTC)<br />
::::The current version looks better, although I'd make all thumbnails the same width if I were you. Anyway, there needn't be a comparative screenshot for every difference either, at least not here (if we really want to, we can still make a subpage with a comparative chart per episode, or link to external sites or something). The idea was just to have some of the most significant changes posted here and there to add cheerfulness to the page -- and Mutopis's charts go in that direction, so all is good :) --[[User:Homerun-chan|Homerun-chan]] 15:19, 27 April 2011 (UTC)<br />
:::::I changed it to galleries under every revision for now - what do you think? --[[User:KFYatek|KFYatek]] 15:37, 27 April 2011 (UTC)<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
OK, so I moved the page to the main namespace and linked it on [[Facts and Observations]], since I think it's quite complete as for the current state of the series (ep5 airs on AT-X one hour from now, though...). I'm not sure about formatting, though. The galleries are nice for organization and holding large amounts of screenshot comparisons, but are less attractive than floating thumbnails... And I'm not sure whether the OP revision history should be there, or should I move the analysis to [[Connect]] (or even somewhere entirely else?). What do you think? --[[User:KFYatek|KFYatek]] 13:25, 30 April 2011 (UTC)<br />
:I prefer thumbs, but that's just me. Plus, on episodes with a large number of revisions, the height of the stacked thumbs is surely more than the text, so it's probably best like this.<br>Keep the OP comparisons here, so move them to a new page, but not to [[Connect]], IMO it's better to keep it about the music, rather than the OP itself.

: I suggest making a new section for each episode detailing the movie changes and following the format already used for the Blu-Ray version. --[[User:Knon|Knon]] 04:04, 14 September 2013 (UTC)<br />
<br />
== Magia Record ==<br />
<br />
Like the original series, the Magia Record anime adaptation has many differences between the original broadcast and the later Blu-Ray releases, including different sound effects, enhanced visuals, and even shots that were entirely missing from the original broadcast. For the sake of this wiki, and those like myself that are unable to purchase or torrent the Blu-Ray release, I think a similar page for Magia Record should be made by someone with access to the Blu-Rays. --[[User:Garr9988|Garr9988]] ([[User talk:Garr9988|talk]]) 01:30, 25 September 2021 (UTC)<br />

<div>{{spoilers}}<br />
'''Nightmares''' are a new type of monster introduced in ''[[The Rebellion Story|Rebellion]]''. They resemble dolls with a pair of disembodied blue hands, and primarily attack by shooting exploding objects.<br />
<br />
It is later revealed in the movie that the nightmares are actually false opponents created by the witch barrier ''Rebellion'' takes place in.<br />
<br />
==Appearances==<br />
At the moment, Nightmares exclusively appear in ''Rebellion''. <br />
<br />
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.<br />
<br />
The second nightmare is born from [[Hitomi Shizuki]], when she feels frustration over her relationship with [[Kyosuke Kamijo]]. 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 Kyosuke playing the violin. 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.<br />
<br />
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.<br />
<br />
Later in the movie, a nightmare doll is seen briefly as [[Kyubey]] explains Homura's circumstances. Another appears briefly when Homura transforms into [[Homulilly]].<br />
<br />
==Observations==<br />
* 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.<br />
* Note how the dots on the hands resemble the ones that appear on Homura when she starts to discover she might be a witch.<br />
* 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. <br />
* 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''.<br />
<br />
==Trivia==<br />
*The first Nightmare seems to enjoy food a lot as shown in the movie and concept art.<br />
<br />
=Powers and Abilities=<br />
* It is unknown if both Nightmare's share the exact same powers as one another, but both of their powers are themed after stuffed objects. Fitting for their dream themes.<br />
** The first Nightmare has the power to shoot incredibly destructive pillows and teddy-bears that have been able to destroy entire buildings.<br />
** The second Nightmare has the power to turn any object into a stuffed version of itself, then blow it up.<br />

<div>[[File:From New Breath Event.jpg|500px|thumb|right]]<br />
For the second anniversary of the JP server, the game did two separate events. <br />
<br />
The first event, '''[[Magia Record Story Kamihama in a Circle|Kamihama in a Circle]]''', is a series of ten cutscenes that were shown when the player logged in daily from August 22, 2019 to September 09, 2019. A transcript of the event can be found [[Magia Record Story Kamihama in a Circle|here]]. <br />
<br />
The second event, '''A New Beginning''', began on August 22, 2019. <br />
<br />
==Prologue==<br />
A girl hides in an alleyway as she makes her report. According to her, nothing has happened yet although she did feel some magic she hadn't felt before. The girl complains about all of this being a waste of time. <br />
<br />
Elsewhere, a different girl informs someone that their reports were correct, Kamihama is full of an incredible amount of Magical Girls. However, she doesn't see what makes Kamihama so special, so she begins her investigation. <br />
<br />
Two girls whisper to each other as they observe [[Iroha Tamaki]] and [[Yachiyo Nanami]] coming out into the open. One girl asks the other about the other Magical Girls. It seems they're all gathering together somewhere to celebrate something. The two mysterious girls take this as their opportunity to begin their work and not be noticed. <br />
<br />
At Walnut's, [[Manaka Kurumi]] is serving up drinks to al the thirsty Magical Girl patrons. Thanks to [[Tsuruno Yui]]'s help everyone has already been served. Iroha and Yachiyo stand before the other Magical Girls, announcing the celebration of the establishment of the [[Kamihama Magia Union]].<br />
<br />
==Episode One==<br />
[[Rena Minami]] is enjoying the grilled chicken and complimenting the taste. [[Kaede Akino]] says the food must be incredibly good to cause Rena to behave herself for once. [[Momoko Togame]] chuckles and agrees with Kaede, noting that good food makes you feel good. <br />
<br />
Noticing how busy they are, [[Tsukuyo Amane]] and [[Tsukasa Amane]] offer to lend a hand bussing tables. [[Mifuyu Azusa]] offers to help at well but the Amanes would rather she sit down and enjoy herself. <br />
<br />
[[Himika Mao]] looks at all the happy people and hopes that things for Magical Girls from the East will improve. [[Leila Ibuki]] asks about what happened between the East and West. [[Kanagi Izumi]] steps in and explains there used to be significant opposition between the two sides. Before innocent bystanders would get dragged into the conflict and hurt, but now they have formed an alliance and all of them are moving forward towards the future. [[Mitama Yakumo]] agrees this is the best thing for everyone, but they'll have to work hard to make it the best team possible. <br />
<br />
Iroha is talking with [[Hinano Miyako]], informing her that all of the [[Uwasa]] are no more except for the Rumor of the [[Eternal Sakura]]. Even the resistance of what was left of the [[Wings of Magius]] has stopped. Many of those Magical Girls had gone on rampages when they learned the truth about Magical Girls. Yachiyo thanks Hinano for all her invaluable help, but Hinano says she's just doing her job as the one responsible for the South. Hinano wants to make sure they're all on the same page in regarding their girls, so Yachiyo reminds her their goals haven't really changed. They'd like to coexist with Kyubey and expand the "Automatic Purification System" so it covers the whole world. However, they don't know how to do that so it may take a very long time. Hinano understands it can be difficult, especially since the Magius had originally resorted to sacrificing innocent people. Tsuruno pipes up, claiming their group's main purpose for now is to help each other out, share Grief Seeds, and fight enemies together. [[Sana Futaba]] would like the group to help those who were forced to fight alone or couldn't fight at all. <br />
<br />
[[Felicia Mitsuki]] asks about how [[Touka Satomi]]'s research is going, since she was planning on tapping into the power that helped them defeat Walpurgisnacht in order to expand the purification system. [[Ui Tamaki]] tells her that Touka, Kanagi, Mitama, and [[Nemu Hiiragi]] went with her to Endless Mirrors. It may not be easy to tap into that power, but Iroha is fairly confident she'll be able to since the feathers that fell from the sky reappeared earlier and they did seem to affect them. Hinano is impressed Touka was able to get that much at least and wonders how she did it. Touka pops up, giggling and bragging about how no one else gets it either. According to Touka, Kyubey observed some kind of interference from outside this universe during their battle with Walpurgisnacht. While they may not be able to connect two worlds using modern-day technology, Witches and Magical Girls operate on a whole other level which is why Touka went to Endless Mirrors to combine fantasy and technology. <br />
<br />
Manaka receives a phone call at Walnut's. After she gets off the phone, she runs in a panic repeatedly saying "This is bad!". Ria asks what's wrong, assuming Manaka must have forgotten Ria's second rice omelet. Manaka tells her this is no time for jokes since Nemu has been kidnapped.<br />
<br />
==Episode Two==<br />
Manaka blames herself for Nemu's disappearance since she was the one who asked her to go shopping for the party. Ui tells her not to blame herself since Nemu prefers to be treated the same as others despite the fact she can no longer walk. Ui also points out that Sakurako was with her so Iroha figures the kidnappers must have been strong enough to take on Sakurako. Yachiyo asks if the kidnappers said anything else, but Manaka informs them they were told to search for her using magic tracing only and that the kidnappers had something to prove. Felicia wonders if they might have missed an enemy, then suggests they may be outsiders. <br />
<br />
Ui suggests they use all the manpower they have gathered here, but Sana points out how large Kamihama is. Iroha suggests they split up into groups to search larger areas but Mifuyu reminds them it hasn't been long since Nemu left so they may be close by since Nemu wouldn't be able to travel very fast. Mifuyu instead suggests they split up and search the areas near Walnut's. Since all of them are familiar with each other's magic, they should be able to pinpoint the kidnappers more easily since it would be the only magic they're unfamiliar with. <br />
<br />
Hinano thinks this is a good chance to prove their capabilities as a team so she offers to cover Chuo Ward with the other girls from the South. [[Ryo Midori]] and [[Ikumi Makino]] agree to help. Kanagi and the other girls from the East offer to search Hokuyo Ward, where they're currently at. Since there's not as many Eastern Magical Girls, the smaller area is perfect for them to search efficiently. Even though she doesn't live there, Tsukuyo offers to go with Tsukasa to help in the search. Since there are a lot of Magical Girls from the West, they're left with searching Sankyo Ward which many of them are familiar with. Mifuyu tells Iroha to call them since they'll all be too far out of range for telepathy to work. Iroha wonders what the kidnappers are trying to prove, but Touka only hangs her head and wonders if their past is starting to catch up with them.<br />
<br />
==Episode Three==<br />
Tsuruno relays to Iroha the message she received from Mifuyu. According to Tsuruno, Mifuyu's group were unable to find anything so they've moved on to a new area. Since Momoko's group couldn't find anything either, Iroha wonders if they too should search elsewhere. Yachiyo had hoped they would find them there since the majority of people had abandoned the area, but she too agrees they should move on. <br />
<br />
As Iroha walks through the streets, she's unable to find any other Magical Girls. The streets are crowded with people, so Sana wonders if the kidnappers aren't in a place with very few people around. She asks if there aren't any abandoned buildings or wide open spaces around here, but Tsuruno can't think of any places like that. Felicia often visits the area since [[Kako Natsume]] and [[Ayame Mitsukuri]] live there but even she's never seen anything like that in the area. <br />
<br />
Felicia wonders if the kidnapper is a Witch but Touka gives her an incredulous stare and asks how a Witch could make a phone call. Ui asks them not to argue but Touka is worked up because Nemu was kidnapped and she wants Felicia to take it seriously. Felicia argues she is taking it seriously. As they bicker, Iroha tels the others that somethign has been bothering her. If the kidnappers were outsiders, why did they know to target Nemu? How did they know that Nemu was important?<br />
<br />
Elsewhere neither Kanagi nor Mitama have had any luck. They've asked local people and even people at the supermarket if they saw anyone matches Nemu's description but no luck. Kanagi looks around at the ward and notes that the North looks surprisingly normal despite the battle with Walpurgisnacht. Mitama replies that the East was more affected by the rubble removal process. Kanagi's heart aches for a moment at the social disparity until she reminds herself they have a job to do. She suggests they let Himika keep looking in this area while she and Mitama head to Endless Mirrors. Since the Mirror Witch's familiars go around handing out invitations, Kanagi wants to rule them out as the kidnappers. Mitama hopes the kidnappers aren't the kind of people to target a disabled Magical Girl, but Kanagi is sad to admit that there are people that are that vile out there. <br />
<br />
Hinano checks her phone for messages, but none of the other teams have found anything in either HOkuyo or Sankyo Ward. Ryo calls Hinano and tells her both her and Ikumi believe they know who the kidnappers are. Hinano agrees with their suspicions. The kidnappers had to be someone who knew that the Magius were important, but weren't aware that the girls of Kamihama were coming together. Hinano senses foreign magic and goes to see if their hunch is right. <br />
<br />
Hinano approaches the area and sees she's correct. Nemu is being held hostage by Black Feathers and White Feathers who originated from outside of Kamihama.<br />
<br />
==Episode Four==<br />
Hinano spies Nemu from afar as she tries to come up with her next course of action. She decides to contact Ryo and Ikumi and then the others. Nemu calls out to her telepathically, asking if Hinano is trying to contact the others. Nemu had been searching for any traces of magic and figured it was about time someone showed up. Thankfully the Feathers haven't noticed Hinano's presence yet. Hinano asks Nemu to hang tight for a bit, but before she goes Nemu asks her for a favor. Sakurako is still close by but she hasn't acted yet because Nemu told her not to fight by herself, however Nemu knows she is getting impatient. She asks Hinano to find Sakurako before she loses control and tries to fight. If Hinano can convince her that she'll save Nemu, then Sakurako will stop and go with her since Sakurako can't fight the conditions of her Rumor. Since she's an Uwasa, she has no telepathy of her own so Hinano will have to go to her instead. <br />
<br />
Hinano spies Sakurako not far from there and Sakurako has an angry expression on her face and is pacing back and forth rapidly. Just as Sakurako is about to give up and go in for the attack, Hinano is able to catch up to her and warns her to stop. Hinano tells Sakurako not to be an idiot and try to fight since there are too many of them even for her. Sakurako tells her she can't be an idiot because of all the knowledge she has access to on her server. HInano says that's not the point and reminds her she has to listen to what Nemu told her, which was not to fight alone. Sakurako has begun to tear up at the thought of losing Nemu, since she has no way of contacting the others nor can she just leave Nemu alone. Hinano tells Sakurako she's here now and the others are already on their way so the situation has changed. Sakurako thanks Hinano, knowing Ryo was right when she said Hinano can be relied on. <br />
<br />
Hinano gets ahold of Iroha on the phone and informs her of the situation, urging them to get there as soon as possible. Yachiyo knows it won't be easy with so many girls surrounding Nemu. Since Nemu can't transform, she'll be in real trouble if the kidnappers are willing to kill her. Touka grabs the phone and tells Hinano to use Ryo and Ikumi since they used to work for Touka. Hinano gets what she's saying and relays the plan to Ryo. <br />
<br />
Ryo, upon hearing of the plan, thinks it's a very bold move but she's willing to go with it since it's the best solution they have. Hinano gives the credit to Touka, causing Ikumi to get nervous just hearing that name. Ryo reminds them they're equals now so Ryo and Ikumi go ahead with the plan. First, they need to stop at their old base to get their uniforms. The two dress up in their old Black and White Feather robes.<br />
<br />
==Episode Five==<br />
Ryo and Ikumi return to where Nemu is being held hostage, now dressed in their old Feather robes. The plan is for Hinano to use her magic to draw some of the Feathers away so they can replace them without getting noticed. If only one Feathers is lured away, then Ryo will go in alone. If two Feathers get lured then both will go in, but if three are lured then they'll retreat for now and tell everyone to be extra careful. They won't all go after Hinano since there aren't enough of them to do that and secure the area at the same time. Ryo senses Hinano's magic flare up so they move in. <br />
<br />
The Feathers keeping watch on Nemu are beginning to grow impatient, wondering if they're not going to save Nemu or if they should keep waiting. One of the Feathers encourages her comrade to steel her nerves. If they don't come or won't listen, then they're prepared to die. Ryo and Ikumi make their way to where Nemu is waiting. Nemu recognizes them but she pretends not to notice. Ikumi says they didn't find the Magical Girl they sensed and Ryo warns them she may have ran off and called for help so they should be on their guard. Telepathically both Ryo and Ikumi assure Nemu they're here to rescue her. The two then take the place of the Feathers guarding her. <br />
<br />
Telepathically, Nemu suddenly warns them to get out because their plan won't work. Before they can react, Ryo is struck from behind, knocking their robes off in the process. The Feathers circle around them. They may have been a large faceless mass before, but with so few of them left they all recognize each other's voices and appearances. They've also trained together to overcome their weaknesses and are no longer the weak Feathers from before. The circles prepare to attack but Sakurako jumps in ready to defend Ryo. Sakurako begins to thrash the Feathers about, demanding they release Nemu. Hinano tries to restrain Sakurako from her blind rage. <br />
<br />
One of the Feathers approaches Nemu, declaring she has no choice. But before she can do anything Iroha calls out for her to stop. Iroha has just arrived with the other Magical Girls in tow. She recognizes that the Feathers are from outside Kamihama and she asks them what they really want.<br />
<br />
==Episode Six==<br />
The lead Feather asks if they'll grant her wish if she tells them what they wants. Yachiyo asks if that isn't the point of kidnapping Nemu but the Feathers don't believe their wishes can be granted. Iroha asks them again to tell her what it is. The lead Feather says their wish is for every Magical Girl in Kamihama to work for the Magius like they did before so the Magius can finish leading them to liberation. Felicia thinks that's the stupidest thing she's ever heard and can't imagine wanting to work for them again. Tsuruno scolds Felicia, although she agrees with the sentiment. Tsuruno can't understand why they would kidnap Nemu if they want to work for her. Touka explains they want to free Magical Girls but they don't know how to do it themselves. One of the Feathers agrees with what Touka said, explaining they're willing to fight and die to help the Magius achieve their goals of liberation. That hasn't changed, but without the Magius to guide them they're at a loss on how to achieve that goal themselves. Sana believes they should have tried to find their own way of achieving their goals, but the Feathers disagree, believing only the Magius can show them how. <br />
<br />
The Feathers had believed that the Wings of Magius had disbanded only because the Magical Girls of Kamihama had dissolved the group. They had kidnapped Nemu with the hopes of convincing her to join them only to realize she could no longer become a Magical Girl. Since they had no other options left and would never see their dream realized, the remaining Feathers decided to fight to the bitter end and die for their ideals instead. Nemu realizes they wanted to die and take them down with them. She knows it was because of them that these Magical Girls had changed so much and Nemu feels like it's their responsibility to follow them to the grave. But both Nemu and Touka agree they haven't abandoned their ideals yet. They're no longer the Magius, but that doesn't mean they're done trying to free Magical Girls from their fate except this time they're working with the Magical Girls of Kamihama to achieve their dream. <br />
<br />
The lead Feather doesn't believe them and demands to know why they stopped the Magius' plans and ruin everything. Iroha explains they weren't against what the Magius were trying to achieve, they were just against the methods they were using such as sacrificing innocent people and the city. The Magical Girls of Kamihama are still trying to achieve the same goal but through peaceful methods. Nemu and Touka ask the Feathers to join them and work alongside the others to achieve liberation. Just as the lead Feather is about to give a reply, a bright light flashes and white feathers begin to rain down from the sky once more. It's the same power as before but Touka can tell that something's not right. Ui feels like she's being crushed from the inside and Iroha agrees that's it's different from last time.<br />
<br />
==Episode Seven==<br />
All throughout Kamihama the white feathers are falling. Momoko calls Yachiyo and gets updated on what's going on. They're sure this is the same power that helped them when they were fighting Walpurgisnacht, but something is different about it. Yachiyo warns Momoko to be careful while she asks Touka what is going on. Momoko hangs up and Rena asks her if it really is the same power as before. Kaede wonders why it's not on their side this time but Momoko encourages her by saying they won't go down so easily if that's the case. <br />
<br />
Touka is finishing explaining things to the lead White Feather. Their goals are still the same, but they're trying different methods now. The White Feather asks her to explain what is going on if it's true what she said about not sacrificing anything. Touka shrugs and replies that experiments fail from time to time. Team Mikazuki are astonished to hear this admission of failure from Touka but Yachiyo notes how calm Touka is and asks her if she can fix this. Touka had assumed this might happen but she doesn't believe they can control this power. Her plan both worked and failed. Touka had theorized she could use the system she developed to control Witches in order to control the Familiars of the Mirror Witch that had evolved to connect spaces in order to make them connect to another physical space altogether. By doing so, she could create a wormhole to another world and make that power flow into their world. While that part was successful, it seems they're unable to harness and control that power. <br />
<br />
Tsuruno asks if it didn't work because they interfered from their side and last time that power was being controlled from the other side. Touka says she guessed it right. The White Feather asks if it's true then that they can't use this power to free everyone. Nemu says that's correct and that the interference from this power is incredibly powerful, so powerful it may even crush their universe. Touka describes it like giving a blood transfusion to someone with the wrong blood type. The laws of the two different universes don't match up. Iroha asks how they can stop it. Touka thinks they can stop it by using radio waves to reach it but the best place for doing that would be deep inside Endless Mirrors. Sana suggests they contact Kanagi since she and the others were heading there already.<br />
<br />
==Episode Eight==<br />
Kanagi and the others fight off some familiars as they navigate the maze that is Endless Mirrors. Mitama asks if she's sure they're going the right way but Kanagi is certain of their route seeing as how they've already searched the lower layers. If they knew where it was they wouldn't have such a hard time looking for it. Mitama says she's right and apologizes for not being more help. Despite being the "manager" for Endless Mirrors, she herself has never gone inside since she didn't have the ability to fight Witches as a Magical Girl before. Kanagi replies that no one could blame her for that but she is going to have to give a stern talking to Touka later. Mitama tells Kanagi not to be too harsh on her since she's just trying to help but Kanagi says she's only doing it because she cares and wants to help her too. <br />
<br />
They soon reach an area where they can feel and see the white feathers falling from the sky. They can both sense the difference in this power and Kanagi describes it as being out of control. They soon spy what looks like the entrance to a labyrinth with several [[Mirror_Witch#Kirico_Keepers|Kirico Keepers]] guarding it. Mitama goes to destroy the device sending out the radio waves while Kanagi takes care of the Familiars. As Mitama tries to figure out how to stop the device, white light flashes and suddenly both the gate and the Familiars disappear into thin air. The Familiar's labyrinth vanished and both Mitama and Kanagi were cut off from the gate. <br />
<br />
Mitama calls Hinano and relays what just happened. White feathers continue to fall from the sky as Hinano gets off the phone and explains to the others that the Witch most likely considered it a danger, so she got rid of the Labyrinth altogether. It seems their mission was a failure. Sakurako points up at the sky and Touka looks up to see the gateway to another world has not appeared in the sky overhead. Ui asks if there isn't another way so Touka turns to the Feathers and asks them to give Nemu back since she knows the password to disable the device.<br />
<br />
==Episode Nine==<br />
Touka explains to the Feathers that even she admits that her plans can sometimes be too risky, which is why she had Nemu set up a password as a fail-safe. The lead Feather looks at Nemu and asks if this is all a lie. Nemu denies it being lies and tells her it's the honest truth. But the Feather doesn't believe her, believing it all to be lies just to get Nemu back. Iroha tries to argue their point, that they're just trying to free everyone from becoming Witches. She points out how their experiment has failed and they need to stop it so they should work together. The Feather shakes her head, claiming the Magius are now no more than two girls who have lost their edge. Ryo looks them incredulously. She used to be a White Feather and even she doesn't believe the Magius back then were better than how they are now. Ikumi agrees since she doesn't want anyone to be sacrificed for this. The lead Feather states she wanted the strength to see their plans through, even if it means making sacrifices. She looks at Nemu and declares the Magius they knew to be dead before striking at Nemu. Touka tries to get her to stop before the Feather strikes Touka as well. <br />
<br />
Soon Tsuruno and Felicia jump in and attack the Feathers while they're distracted in an attempt to get Nemu back.<br />

The Feathers are in disarray and believe that they were willing to sacrifice Nemu to stop them. But Sana's voice rings out, telling them they're here to rescue her as she suddenly appears behind Nemu's wheelchair and begins to push her out of danger. <br />
<gallery><br />
File:Memoria 1393 2.jpg<br />
</gallery><br />
While the Feathers were arguing with Touka, Nemu had spoken to Iroha telepathically in order to concoct a plan to get her out of there. They would keep the Feathers talking and arguing with them while Sana snuck in under guise of invisibility. Iroha was certain they were on the verge of convincing them but Touka didn't want to take the risk since their time was running short. Yachiyo is hesitant to agree with the plan, but she asks Sana, Felicia, and Tsuruno if they're up to the task. <br />
<br />
They get Nemu to where the device is stationed and Nemu enters the password. They send the stop signal through and everyone waits anxiously to see the results. However, nothing seems to have changed as the white feathers continue to rain down from the sky. Tsuruno gets a bad feeling about this. Ui asks Touka what happened and Touka replies she didn't anticipate the Witch cutting off the labyrinth. She wonders if it could be because the labyrinth is smaller now, so the space itself has become warped so the radio waves can no longer reach the device. Yachiyo is sad to see her premonition of things going wrong was correct. <br />
<br />
The world shakes slightly and all of them hear a voice say the word, "Don't..."<br />
<br />
==Episode Ten==<br />
Touka isn't sure what could happen if the laws of another universe started to affect their own, but she is certain that it will wind up being a disaster. Felicia asks if they can't just make the machine self-destruct. Touka knows the machine will stop on its own if it doesn't receive a signal for a certain amount of time, but she's not sure that will happen because of all the corruption. Ui suggests Nemu enter the password again, but Nemu has already been trying that and the device doesn't seem to be receiving any of the signals. The power that once helped them save their city was now going to destroy everything. <br />
<br />
Both Iroha and Yachiyo stand silently, listening to something. They can hear someone say the words, "...long before... been watching... don't contact... record... keep turning... can... close it... this power.... is with...." As the voice fades, Iroha looks up smiling at Sana. She explains that the power that is currently flowing throughout their universe is really strong, but it's not trying to hurt them. It's doing its best to try to save them like it did before. She turns to look at Yachiyo, who tells her they should go close the gate together the way they did before. She turns to Ui and Touka and asks Touka if she can still use her conversion magic even without transforming. Touka confirms she can, so Yachiyo tells them they'll have Ui collect all the magic that is flowing from them so Touka can convert it. She explains how the magic contained in the raining feathers has built up inside them so she knows this plan will work. Their arrow will close the gate. <br />
<br />
The sun is beginning to set as they prepare to enact their plan. All the other Magical Girls go hide between buildings in order to stay clear out of the way. Ui asks if Nemu is ok, but Nemu is more worried about Touka. Touka is looking disheartened and beaten after their failure and what it almost cost them. Neither of them thought it would get this bad since they both thought they were prepared. Now that everyone is clear, the team does it like before: Ui absorbs all the magic from Iroha and Yachiyo and sends it to Touka, who converts it to usable magic. She gives it to Yachiyo who is able to harness that power and pass it to Iroha, who converts it to an arrow and fires it at the portal, closing it for good. <br />
<br />
Iroha breathes a sigh of relief now that the portal is gone and the feathers have stopped raining down. She turns to the Feathers, who stand silently. Iroha explains that Touka and Nemu are doing everything they can to help free them from their bonds and asks them to reconsider. Their plan may not have worked this time, but they're all working together to obtain their freedom. She asks if they're willing to sacrifice their friends, family, and the people they know just to save a single minute or even second. One of the Black Feathers shakes her head and says she knows what it's like to be used. Iroha turns to the lead White Feather. The lead Feather finally admits she was just being stubborn. For every drop of blood and sweat she shed in pursuit of the Magius' dream she had become much more stubborn until that stubbornness turned into rage. Even though Touka and Nemu could never understand what they went through, she also couldn't accept how fruitless their efforts were in the end. Nemu and Touka apologize, and although they may not be the Magius they once were they want to work together and move forward even if it means more failures along the way. <br />
<br />
Ui wants the Feathers to join their cause alongside them and the Feather asks if even they can be accepted. Hinano thinks it's a great idea and would love to have a presence outside of Kamihama. Ryo and Ikumi point out they too were former Feathers and they haven't given up on the idea of freedom yet. Ikumi suggests they hug super tight and hold hands as "Former Feathers" together. Tsuruno, Felicia, and Sana are also happy to welcome the first recruits to their organization on the day they first established it. Yachiyo and Iroha offer their hands and the Feathers accept. <br />
<gallery><br />
File:Memoria 1392.jpg<br />
</gallery><br />
As the group stands happily together, Iroha thinks about how all of this was something she could never have forseen when she first began her search for Ui. She's confronted her fate as a Magical Girl and now they've taken a step forward to a new beginning.<br />
<br />
==Episode Eleven==<br />
It's late at night and Momoko is bidding goodbye to Yachiyo. Yachiyo asks if she's not coming over with the rest of them but they're all pretty exhausted after the day's events. Momoko, Rena, and Kaede say their goodbyes and head home. Sakurako is overjoyed at having Nemu back safely and can't stop fidgeting over her. Mifuyu is glad to see that everyone is ok after Touka's failure. Touka gets annoyed and tells her not to call it a failure, so Mifuyu asks her what she should call it. Touka turns to Iroha and whines that Mifuyu is being mean and picking on her as revenge for all the times she tutored her. Iroha tells her to calm down and Mifuyu assures her she didn't mean it that way. Tsuruno thinks it's good they were able to see that power once more and hopes they're able to use it in the future, but Yachiyo believes they shouldn't get involved with the power from another universe. The only reason they were in danger and were able to close the gate was because of the same power. Both Yachiyo and Iroha had heard a voice that said it was watching over them and it impressed on them the need to close the gate. <br />
<br />
Nemu tells Iroha she has something to tell them, something the Feathers said to Nemu and Touka before they left. According to the Feathers, "The influence the Wings of Magius had isn't limited to the organization's ideals." Iroha isn't sure what that means, but Nemu believes it means they impacted the Feathers in [[Wings_of_Magius#Neo-Magius|more than one way]]. Felicia is tired of all the talk and wants to get something to eat. Sana points out how they saved Nemu and were able to recover from Touka's failure. At these words Touka yells at her to stop it already and with tears in her eyes asks why everyone keeps calling what she did a failure. She tells them she learned an important lesson today and is pretty depressed about it. She asks Iroha to make her feel better already but Iroha is taken back by these words. Touka gets upset and throws a small tantrum, saying she hates them all and calling them all stupid. Iroha tells her to calm down and telling her they know she tried her best. Nemu tells her to stop acting infantile but Touka's anger and stress keep building up and causing her soul gem to fill with impurities. Touka is already at her limit and about to unleash her doppel.<br />
<br />
Elsewhere, a [[Ryoko Natsu|mysterious Magical Girl]] watches from afar as Touka's doppel is released. She can't believe what she just saw, but now she knows what they heard was true. She turns to head back and report to the [[Tokime Clan]]. <br />
<br />
Somewhere else, a different [[Ranka Chizu|Magical Girl]] also observed the moment Touka let loose her Doppel. She thinks it looks frightening, like a Witch popped out of a Magical Girl. She giggles to herself, since she already knew what it would supposedly look like and decides to [[Promised Blood|report back]] to inform ''[[Yuna Kureha|her]]'' of her findings. <br />
<br />
In a different place, a [[Kagome Satori|young girl]] has found Iroha at last. As she holds a small plushy that looks like a mandrake root close to her chest, she promises to be there to keep a record of their lives. <br />

==The Goddess and the Mysterious Record==<br />
===August 17th, 2018 Scene===<br />
From beyond space and time, [[Ultimate Madoka in Magia Record|the goddess of magical girls]] listen to reality.<br />
<br />
===August 18th, 2018 Scene===<br />
The goddess finds an unknown record she has never seen before. This is something that should be impossible. The goddess listens to the record and hears the songs of magical girls she knows well, including "a small heroine weaving history", "a girl dreaming of galaxies in an alley", "one penning her feelings in a secret room". The goddess wonders why she never knew of the record.<br />
<br />
===August 19th, 2018 Scene===<br />
Suddenly, the goddess hears a voice she never heard before. Only this record has the voice. The voice says "Well now, how are you, frayed edge of fate? The film flies off the reel, we grow irate. Crack eggs, pull an eyelid down all the way. Hey there, All of you girls come to play. Enjoy what we have, once you come to stay." The goddess finds the voice familiar, and thinks she hasn't heard a new voice since she was just a human. The goddess tries to give this magical girl her blessing, but somehow the record does not change.<br />
<br />
===August 20th, 2018 Scene===<br />
Once again, something new has happened to the goddess. She decides to listen to the record from the beginning, and then at the end. However, she hears nothing from the end of the record. She listens to the new voices: "[[Touka Satomi|A girl surrounded by machines, studying space]]. [[Nemu Hiiragi|A girl in her bed, spinning stories for all]]. [[Ui Tamaki|A girl burning her short life to give light]]. [[Iroha Tamaki|A girl devoted to each of those girls.]]* These voices don't exist on any other record.<br />
<br />
===August 21st, 2018 Scene===<br />
As the goddess investigates further, she finds the record is re-writing itself, as if she was affecting it with her own power. The goddess wonders if the record would play a bad song. The goddess thinks that if she adds her blessing, the record might break. However, she might have to break it anyway if the record turns out to be bad. She decides to watch over it for now. Two voices say that even the goddess doesn't know what will happen.<br />

==Etymology==<br />
* The characters of her last name mean "gods" (神) and "music" (楽) respectively. <br />
** Collectively 神楽 means ancient Shinto music and dancing. <br />
* The character in her first name means "illuminating / bright" (燦).<br />
<br />
==Trivia==<br />
*San has the ability to manipulate [[Miyuri Yukari]] like a marionette. Whether this power extends to anyone else or what the requisites are is currently unknown.<br />
*She may have Shinto Shrine as in [[Magia Record Story Dependence Blue|Dependence Blue]] she mentions [[wikipedia:Arahitogami|arahitogami (or living god)]], a Shinto term. She also wants to preserve the Mitsuzuka Fire Festival, a local Shinto festival in Takarazaki, claiming this festival is more important than her life and she will do anything (including becoming a living god) to preserve it.<br />
*Her nickname while in the Wings of Magius was "Instructor", most likely due to her role teaching to the other Feathers. She was the third-highest ranking Magical Girl in the Wings of Magius, after [[Mifuyu Azusa]] and the Magius themselves.<br />

==Description==<br />
A Magical Girl who lives in Takarazaki City. Kuroe fights alongside [[Iroha_Tamaki|Iroha]] from time to time, but mostly they're acquaintances who get together on a regular basis to exchange information. Kuroe is afraid of fighting in life or death battles and wishes she could be saved from being a Magical Girl. She begins to become obsessed with Kamihama City after hearing a certain rumor.<br />
<br />
==History in Animation==<br />
*In the first season, Kuroe knows [[Iroha Tamaki]] when they fight [[Box Wood]] together to rescue a cat. On the second day, Kuroe goes to Kamihama with Iroha. She doesn't appear afterwards until a brief cut in the last episode.<br />
*Kuroe joins [[Wings of Magius]] as a black feather. In episode 15, she got a task to find rumor of eternal sakura and to protect Iroha from [[Nemu Hiiragi]].<br />
*Kuroe 'connects' with Yachiyo in episode 16. That makes Yachiyo's spear's shape slightly changed.<br />
*Kuroe can build walls. This might be her ability.<br />
** In episode 17, she builds a wall so Iroha and Rena can fixate doppel of Kaede onto it.<br />
** In episode 18, she builds a wall to give Iroha some time to exit.<br />
*Kuroe shows her transformation sequence and doppel form in episode 18.<br />
** Kuroe's doppel form has some similarity to [[Akemi Homura]]'s transformation in episode 12 of Madoka Magica.<br />
<br />
==Etymology==<br />
* The first kanji in her name means "black". The second kanji means "creek"<br />
<br />
==Trivia==<br />
* Kuroe's magical girl form looks a lot like Iroha's magical girl outfit. Both wear cloaks that cover part of their hair and extends to their hip height, and both of them bare their midriff.<br />
* Her name, her magical girl form and her description has given birth to speculation that she may be [[Kuro]]. In addition, both become Black Feathers, and both made wishes having to do with the person they liked.<br />
**However, in Magia Report, Kuroe and Kuro are treated as different characters.<br />
*She shares a voice actress with [[Nadeko Sengoku]].<br />

==Summary==<br />
A gossip-generation magical girl, she takes photos of everything and reports it regardless if it’s good or bad. She collects material on school problems among the students, and because of this everyone is both afraid of her and entertained by her. In fact, her photo hobby “Today’s kitty cat” seems to be the most popular among students. <br />
<br />
===Side Story===<br />
At the Wings of Magius headquarters, Ryo is writing an article for Magius which some of the other Feathers help her out by reporting things to her for her articles. Ikumi, dressed in her black feather robes, interrupts Ryo who is caught off-guard as she didn't think anyone would show up at that time and as she doesn't have her own robes on and the Wings of Magius aren't supposed to show their faces, even to each other. Quickly throwing on her white feather robes, she asks the black feather what the matter is only for Ikumi to take off her robes laughing. Ikumi asks if she startled Ryo, who takes her white robe back off and stands frowning. Ikumi worries she might have upset Ryo as Ryo continues to stand angrily until she suddenly breaks out in laughter. She says the stern looks were revenging for teasing her. Ikumi is a little thrown off since Ryo isn't the kind to tease others as well. Ikumi had come over to invite Ryo for some tea, seeing as she has a bit of time before her shift at the maid cafe. Ryo has just finished working on her brochure for the Wings of Magius thanks to the help of some of the other Feathers. Ryo asks if she can interview Ikumi for the brochure as well and Ikumi is happy to oblige, turning so Ryo can photograph her from her cutest angle. Ryo reminds her they wear robes to hide their faces and her picture won't be in the brochure. She asks what the interview is for and Ryo says she wants to know what happened between the time Ikumi contracted and her becoming a Feather. Ryo assures her her name won't be used in order to assure her anonymity. Ikumi muses that her and Ryo are tied by fate and thinks it would be nice to talk about why she became a magical girl. She's less concerned about her story being published and is more concerned with Ryo hearing it. In exchange, Ikumi asks to hear Ryo's wish and story, as long as Ryo isn't against telling her. Ryo agrees, since it's only fair. <br />
<br />
The story goes into a flashback in the Daito Ward. Ryo's mother is talking about the neighbor girl's marital problems with her husband. Ryo listens disheartedly as her parents gossip about the girl's marriage. It seems that, while her parents approved of her marriage, her grandfather who is from Mizuna ward did not. They explain to Ryo that in the past, Daito and Mizuna had a lot of conflict. Previously, Mizuna had pushed Daito to renovate the old-fashioned school that Ryo currently attends. But children today don't know about the conflict since it happened a long time ago. Her parents say that as long as that generation still lives, the conflict is still remembered. Ryo makes a mental note to investigate what went on between the East and the West. She thinks about how even though she loves hearing the gossip that goes on between her parents, it holds no real connection to the problems of Kamihama. Ryo suddenly realizes she's late for school and runs off. <br />
On her way to school, she hears splashing and sees a white whale in the ocean by the harbor. As she chuckles to herself and plans on telling everyone in school about it, she remembers all of the other incredible things she'd seen and how no one in her class ever believed her. All her life Ryo has run into unbelievable things fairly often and no one would believe it. <br />
<br />
It was the middle of a normal day. Ryo is describing the white whale she saw to her classmate, who tells her her wild story is only worth 60 points at best. The girl tells Ryo she'll need proof in order for anyone to believe her. As Ryo considers asking her parents for a camera, she and her classmate hear a voice crying out from the music room. The two girls head towards the music room to investigate. Inside, a girl and a boy are bullying another boy for his monthly allowance. The boy threatens to tell the teacher on them, but the bullies laugh since no one would believe a failure like him over honor students like themselves. Ryo and her classmate recognizes the bullies from the class next door and note that their leader happens to also be the class president. They manage to hide as the bullies leave the music room, and both of them decide to tell the teacher what happened.<br />
<br />
In the classroom, the boy bully denies the whole story claiming it to be a misunderstanding. The girl bully claims the boy was nervous and they were helping him practice for his song rehearsal. The boy is brow-beaten by the bullies and reluctantly agree to their side of the story. Ryo and her classmate insist they know what they saw and the boy bully tells the teacher that Ryo can't be trusted since she has a reputation for making things up. Ryo's classmate insists she saw it as well but without proof the teacher isn't convinced. Afterwards, Ryo overhears some of her classmates saying she's spreading rumors and lies again which proves to Ryo how important "proof" can be as people won't believe anything they can't see for themselves. <br />
<br />
The following day, Ryo is elated to have a new camera that her parents brought her and that she's able to take it with her to school. As she's walking, a car zooms past her at high speed narrowly missing Ryo and colliding with an innocent woman who was passing by. Ryo is at a loss as to what to do when the car takes off from the scene. Even though Ryo knew that proof was important, she was so frazzled that all she could do was watch as the car sped away. She didn't think to use the camera she had just bought nor was she able to memorize the license plate. Kyubey appears to have been watching all along. <br />
<br />
At the hospital, Ryo is unable to answer questions about the car involved in the hit-and-run. The staff assures her she did more than enough just by calling the ambulance and staying by the woman's side but Ryo can't shake the guilt she feels since she was unable to obtain proof of the car. Kyubey continues to watch from afar. The people investigating the accident are disheartened since Ryo can't remember much and she was the only witness. Back at home, Ryo worries since they said they would contact her if they found the culprit but no word has reached her yet. She berates herself for not memorizing the license plate or getting proof with her camera. Ryo's mother leaves for grocery shopping as Ryo shuts herself in her room. At this point, Kyubey appears and introduces himself. Even though now that Ryo knows more about magical girls and realizes she was the perfect prey for him, she still couldn't shake the feelings of guilt she had at that time. Ryo asks Kyubey if she can have any wish granted and wonders if it's possible to wish for the culprit of the hit-and-run to be apprehended. Kyubey responds that hit-and-runs happen all the time all over the planet and asks which culprits she would want to be apprehended. Ryo rethinks her wish, not wanting to be caught in the same situation and decides to wish to never miss a photo opportunity. <br />
<br />
Ryo worries a bit since her life is still largely the same after contracting, other than the fact that she has to fight witches now. She takes a moment to snap a picture of the sunset as well as the repair shop nearby. Ryo shows the photos she took to her mother who marvels at the sunset and the reflection of the car repair shop. She notes that their business must not be doing so great since they have only one car in their shop. It's then that Ryo notices that the car in the repair shop is the same car from the hit-and-run. It was there to get the dent caused by the accident fixed. Ryo quickly calls the number from the investigators with her photo acting as proof. The culprit is soon arrested and the woman in the hospital thanks Ryo for all that she's done. Ryo is initially pleased that her wish really was granted.<br />
<br />
At school, Hinano laments something came out the wrong color when she hears the shutter click of a camera and yells at Ryo for going around taking pictures of other people's failures. Ryo claims it wasn't on purpose before running off. She hides in a classroom, telling herself she did it again when she notices the teacher in a classroom across the hall. She snaps a picture of the teacher and someone else. Outside in the hallway, two girls are talking about how Ryo has been taking photos of others when they're down. Ryo overhears them calling her a creep and how she's probably taking revenge on everyone who called her a liar. <br />
<br />
At the subway, Ryo sees the neighbor lady that her parents were gossiping about. She sees them with several luggage bags and deduces that they decided to move out together despite her grandfather's opposition. She takes a photo of the occasion and thinks this may be a secret from their families. She decides to delete the photo as soon as possible. Back at home, Ryo is going through her photographs when she comes across the photo of the young couple. She thinks about how she didn't want to take these kinds of photos since it makes her seem like she's purposefully trying to start trouble. It was both a combination of her wish and her tendency to witness rare things. <br />
<br />
Ryo continued taking photographs, and one day as her Mom was scrolling through the pictures, she came across the photo of the young couple. Ryo realized she had forgotten to delete the photo and demanded her camera back. Her mother was eager to gossip to her father about it when she realized she had proof that the rumors that the couple next door really were running away together were true. Ryo storms out of the house. Ryo runs off to the park and wonders why her parents were obsessed with gossip and whether it had passed on to her since she kept taking those kinds of photos. After some time, she began to resent her parents. <br />
<br />
One day, Ryo wondered if she shouldn't leave her camera behind but couldn't in case something like the hit-and-run were to happen again. As she goes through her photos on her camera, she sees one of her classmate back when the incident with the bullies happened. She wonders why her classmate was there since she too was upset that the bullies were getting away with it when they told the teacher. Ryo decides to talk with her in private the next day at school since she didn't want to jump to any conclusions. Ryo then gathers several photos of her classmate and realizes they all lead to her being one of the bullies as well. <br />
<br />
The next day, Ryo meets with her classmate and shows her the photographic evidence. She tells her friend that she needs to cut out the bullying, as these photos are the only proof of her bullying others. Her friend tries to defend herself, saying the class president will pick on her otherwise. She claims the teacher is on their side as well since they are all from the Mizuna ward and wouldn't have believed them even with proof since Ryo is from the Daito ward. It seems her classmate has picked up the prejudices of the adults around her. Ryo runs off in tears as her friend cries out that she doesn't think that way. Ryo had never considered the "West vs. East" problem of Kamihama as part of her life until then. The sting of the person whom she thought of as a friend was too much. <br />
<br />
Ryo cries and runs into the chemistry lab where Hinano finds her. Determined to not mess up a result, she asks Ryo what's wrong and offers to listen since she too is a magical girl. Ryo cries out everything about her life from the accident and her contract and everything that had happened recently. She asks Hinano if she was glad she became a magical girl. Hinano says she is, but she also regrets it. All things come with both good and bad and she tells Ryo about the time when there was a scarcity of witches in the city. The East and West magical girls fought for territory daily. She wished she had been stronger in order to stop some of the oppression that went on in those days, where magical girls robbed others of their grief seeds. Hinano explains how you can't always do the right thing in the face of some injustices, so she should decide on what to do and act on it. She needs to decide on what to do with her power on her own. Hinano suggests she talk to Kanagi after going home and resting. Ryo calls Hinano a mini-mom after hearing her advice and heads out.<br />
<br />
After meeting with Kanagi, Ryo decides to use her power for both good and bad. She is determined to use her power only to show the truth to others even if the truth can be both beautiful and ugly. So she renames the newspaper club into the gossip club. <br />
<br />
Hinano sees a copy of the gossip club's paper "The Midori Report" hanging up in the school hall. In it is an article about her successes in the lab. Everything from small everyday things to big terrible things such as the bullying being covered up by the teacher was in it. Soon the bullies she previously encounter began to worry and even the teachers were talking about it since the proof was in the photos that accompanied the articles. Although the teacher involved became angry, he backed down lest she expose the truth further and issues of the Midori report just kept coming, soon becoming a staple of the school. Ryo received fan mail both admonishing her and thanking her.<br />
<br />
Ryo remained troubled however, and one day as she narrowly defeats a witch, she realized that no one knew about how difficult it was to be a magical girl risking her life fighting. She resolves to make the next issue of her report about witches and magical girls. Ryo tracks down a witch and enters her barrier, pleased to note two other magical girls had beaten her to it. Ryo intends to photograph the other magical girls fighting the witch and be ready to jump in should they need the help. Instead, she showed up just in time to photograph the moment one of the magical girls unleashed her doppel. She watches dumbfounded as the doppel and witch fight until the barrier begins to collapse. She urges the magical girl she was watching, Ikumi, to escape while she can as she carries her friend who has collapsed from exhaustion. <br />
<br />
Safely outside of the barrier, Ikumi tries to wake her friend Yuuki who is badly injured. Ryo asks her about what she just saw, but Ikumi doesn't know and wonders if it's a bad thing. Ryo urges her to take her friend to Mitama's place and ask if she knows anything about it. There, Mitama explains to the two girls about doppels. Ryo thinks the doppels look a lot like witches and decides to postpone her article until she can gather more evidence, but she's hesitant to do so. Mitama then leaks the information about Ryo and Ikumi knowing about doppels to the Wings of Magius.<br />
<br />
Later, Tsukasa and Mifuyu find Ryo and introduce themselves. They explain to Ryo the truth about magical girls and witches and Ryo is shocked to discover she was betrayed by Kyubey. Mifuyu and Tsukasa leave Ryo to decide for herself if she wants to join their group that is dedicated to liberating magical girls from this fate. Ryo ponders this decision all night, knowing from experience that the girls weren't lying to her, but they weren't exactly trustworthy either. The next day, she joins the Wings of Magius and started staying at their headquarters. After being given a white robe, Mifuyu introduces her to the Black Feathers that will be under her command. Ryo and one of the black feathers (Ikumi) quickly recognize each other. <br />
<br />
Ryo finishes telling her story to Ikumi, who is saddened to hear about all the things that Ryo had to go through. Ryo cheers her up, saying it doesn't bother her anymore and teases her about keeping up her pop idol persona. Ikumi asks to see the article Ryo will be writing about her once she's done, but Ryo won't publicly publish something that was told to her in confidence. The girls realize the time and Ikumi rushes off to her shift at the maid cafe. Back outside, Ryo notices a cat and snaps its picture for the next issue of her Midori Report.<br />
<br />
===Costume Stories===<br />
====Swimsuit (2020)====<br />
Ryo has gone to the beach with Ikumi for a big scoop for her Midori Report. There have been rumors circulating at her school about a popular couple and how both of them may have different lovers. The rumors have even speculated that one of the lovers is a teacher so if she can get to the truth it’ll be sure to make the Midori Report even more popular. In order to not stick out, Ikumi is trying not to stay close to Ryo. Ryo soon spies the couple and starts observing them intently. The couple are chatting normally and eating yakisoba. Ryo is starting to get bored and wonders if maybe they’re just a normal couple after all when suddenly the guy seems to be upset and both him and the girl enter a tent to change into their swimsuits. After the guy leaves, a different guy enters the tent. Ryo starts to get excited as the first guy re-enters the tent. Ryo gets ready to watch a bloodbath go down when suddenly a different girl enters the tent as well. Before she knows it all four of them exit the tent dressed in swimsuits and prepare for a beach volleyball match. Ryo begins laughing to herself as she realizes that it was just four good friends having fun at the beach and nothing more. <br />
<br />
Ryo heads to the food stands, somewhat disappointed with the day’s turnout. She had been hoping to make this the big article for the next issue of the Midori Report but it seems there’s nothing to report. She then hears Ikumi’s voice and sees her standing with some guys. She can tell that Ikumi is starting to get mad so she heads over to interrupt. Ikumi is glad to see Ryo but instead of stopping them Ryo takes Ikumi’s picture instead. Ryo says this will have to be her main scoop and titles it “Makino Ikumi, age 19 and picking up fans with flirting”. Ikumi says it was all a misunderstanding as she laments the damage to her reputation that this will cause. Ryo laughs and says she’s just messing around as Ikumi sobs. <br />
<br />
====Halloween Costume (2020)====<br />
[[Eternal Sakura]] is daydreaming about the big Halloween party she and the others are going to. In her daydream, Mitama gathers everyone together as Karin leads a toast for Halloween. Ryo then approaches Sakurako and tells her “Trick or Treat” before asking which one Sakurako will be giving her. Sakurako says she has some treats she was told to prepare but Ryo looks disappointed. Ryo had been hoping to see all kinds of mischievous tricks this year so Sakurako asks her Trick or Treat. However, Ryo has already given away all the treats she had so Sakurako asks if she doesn’t have a trick for her instead. Ryo says the whole setup feels like a trick already so she offers Sakurako some of the treats that the other girls had given to her earlier. Ryo then looks at Sakurako and asks her what kind of trick she has to offer. <br />
<br />
Outside the Coordinator’s shop, [[Hinano Miyako]] tries to get Sakurako’s attention by calling her name. Eventually she’s broken out of her daydream and tells Hinano that she was deep in her fantasies trying to come up with a way to trick Ryo but she couldn’t think of anything. She’s sad that Ryo won’t be able to make it to the party, but she can at least pull a trick on Hinano when they get there. As Hinano gathers the candy they brought with them for the party, Sakurako thinks about how nice it is to be able to create new memories and wishes that Ryo could have made it too.<br />

She also appears in [[Puella Magi Madoka Magica Side Story: Magia Record]] as Kirika's Doppel.<br />

}}<br />
<br />
==Magia Record Description==<br />
The Doppel of manipulation. Its form is needles.<br />
The master of this emotion has vowed absolute loyalty to her savior. It penetrates enemy and master alike with sharp needles, sewing the fate of all things tight. This act represents its extreme devotion, such that it offers up everything, including its life to its benefactor, while symbolizing the perilousness of its dependence upon the other, which it cannot maintain its identity without. The sharper the needles are, the more the stitches there are, and the harder it becomes to extricate oneself from it. However, this merely serves as an expression of the master's desire.<br />
<br />
==Trivia==<br />
* In Oriko Magica, Kirika's witch name was unknown and theorized by fans to be "Margot" due to a sign in her labyrinth that read "Margot Garden". In Magica Record, her name was officially revealed to be "Latria".<br />
** Though "Margot Garden" might be a reference to the artwork [http://images.metmuseum.org/CRDImages/ap/web-large/DT7283.jpg ''Spring: Margot Standing in a Garden''] by [[Wikipedia:Mary_Cassatt|Mary Cassatt]].<br />
* Latria is a Latin word that means "adoration". The word has [[wikipedia:Latria|religious significance]].<br />
* Latria may be a reference to the Grim Reaper due to how she composes of multiple bodies and due to the scythes on her arms. The multiple torsos are significant due to how the Grim Reaper is said to harvest souls at the time of a death.<br />
**Also Latria's eye in her hat may be a reference to the infamous 'evil eye' who is said to have been a glare that witches would have used to curse people.<br />
* Latria's familiars are shown to be able to eat people alive as [[Kazuko Saotome]] is seen to suffer this fate.<br />
* In its Doppel animation, its name is incorrectly spelled as "Latriaa".<br />

<br />
==History==<br />
===Original Anime===<br />
Charlotte first appears in [[Episode 3]]. Her [[Grief Seed]] appears outside the hospital [[Kyosuke Kamijo]] is staying in, [[Madoka]] notices it whilst leaving with [[Sayaka]]. Sayaka stays by the Grief Seed while Madoka goes to find [[Mami]]. Mami and Madoka venture into the labyrinth together to save Sayaka and defeat the witch. Polina are shown in the labyrinth but never fought, however Pyotr are. When Mami and Madoka reach the deepest part of the labyrinth, Mami appears to beat the witch Charlotte however the witch reveals she hasn't been defeated by revealing her second form and decapitating Mami. She then proceeds to eat her, killing her. Before the witch can get to the other girls, [[Homura]] arrives and kills the witch with her time manipulations skills and explosives.<br />
<br />
===The Rebellion Story===<br />
Charlotte reappears in [[The Rebellion Story]] though with a slightly new appearance and the name 'Bebe'. She lives with Mami and joins the girls in their battles. [[Homura]] soon realises something's wrong as she remembers Charlotte being their enemy. Bebe quickly reveals herself to Mami to be the magical girl [[Nagisa Momoe]] and {{Spoiler|while fighting Homulilly, explains how she and Sayaka are reborn as part of the law of cycles and act as secretaries for Ultimate Madoka, hence why both of them can use their witch forms, albeit in different ways.}} Bebe is able to transform from witch form to magical girl form freely, as well as using her witch forms second form - though sometimes with a slightly altered appearance. She is also able to summon Pyotr, however they don't seem to be able to do much. Charlotte's original appearance in Episode 3 makes a cameo as Homura reminisces about witches as well as in photographs of Charlotte turning into Bebe with Mami.<br />
<br />
===Manga===<br />
Charlotte and Bebe reappear in the [[Madoka Magica Manga|original manga]] and [[Rebellion Manga]] with little differences.<br />
<br />
Charlotte makes an appearance in [[The Different Story]] where the scene from Episode 3 plays out with Mami however Sayaka intercepts and saves Mami.<br />
<br />
The witch makes cameos in [[Puella Magi Oriko Magica]] and its [[Puella Magi Oriko Magica: Extra Story|Extra Story]]. She further appears in [[Welcome to Café Grief Seed!]] as the Spitting Witch who acts as an arrogant and rude customer to the cafe.<br />
<br />
===Madoka Online===<br />
The angel-like Poirot is described as specializing in preserving/storing (depending on translation) the cheese.<br />
<br />
===Madoka Magica Portable===<br />
Charlotte and her familiars reappear in [[Madoka Magica Portable]]. They appear in [[Madoka Magica Portable Madoka Route|Madoka's Route]], [[Madoka Magica Portable Mami Route|Mami's Route]], [[Madoka Magica Portable Sayaka Route|Sayaka's Route]] and [[Madoka Magica Portable Homura Route|Homura's Route]]. She also serves as the boss on the final floor of the Mysterious witch's barrier: the Sufficiency barrier.<br />
<br />
When fighting her, she will always have both her forms as a boss fight. In [[Madoka Magica Portable Madoka Route|Madoka's Route]], you start as Mami to fight her first form then have to play as Homura for her second form, in line with the anime story. Her Grief Seed can be collected to cleanse a magical girl's Soul Gem during battle.<br />
<br />
===Magia Record===<br />
Charlotte appears as an enemy witch but also as Nagisa Momoe's doppel. Her witch description is the same as the original anime.<br />
<br />
====In-Game ([[Nagisa Momoe in Magia Record|Normal]] version) description====<br />
The Doppel of attachment. Its form is desserts. The master of this emotion gets attached to people and objects as soon as they pluck her heartstrings. She may behave in a shameful manner at times, but in her heart is a well of deep love. The Doppel does not fuse with its host; rather, it emerges as a mask from her nose, which then covers her face completely. The host does not move while her Doppel is present. Instead she sits completely still and stares as though she were staring at the object of her obsession.<br />
<br />
====[[Nagisa Momoe (Valentine ver.)|Valentine]] version description====<br />
The Doppel of tenacity. Its form is melted chocolate.<br />
The master of this emotion always misidentifies the target of her tenacious attachment. Upon seeing a chocolate cake, she’ll surrender to its luscious brown temptation and try to swallow it whole, but will find her stomach filled with milk-white no-bake cheesecake instead.<br />
This Doppel sometimes responds to its master’s desire by deliberately going for the cheesecake in the first place, but on these occasions alone, it finds its stomach filled with actual baked cheesecake.<br />
<br />
====Pyotr====<br />
Minions of the witch of sweets. Their role is to search for cheese.<br />
You shouldn’t expect too much from them, though.<br />
They came to [[Kamihama City|Kamihama]] in search of cheese, hailing from a place called [[Mitakihara City|Mitakihara]].<br />
Their faces are actually stamps. They’ll headbutt anything that moves, instantly determining whether or not it’s cheese and marking it with either a “Cheese Approval Stamp” or a “Not-Cheese Stamp”.<br />
Since they didn’t have much luck finding cheese in their master’s barrier, they expanded their search radius to outside the barrier. (They got kicked out, in a sense.) Even if they succeed in finding some cheese, though, it’s a little doubtful as to whether they remember the route back home.<br />
<br />
===MADOGATARI===<br />
====Pyotr====<br />
The witch of sweets' minion. Its duty is to search for cheese.<br />
They mill about inside the Labyrinth while emitting mouse-like squeaks.<br />
Their faces are stamps, which they use to mark anything that isn't cheese.<br />
The sight of them performing bodyslams while bouncing around like rubber balls may seem completely ridiculous,<br />
but if you get hit by one of them head-on, you'll end up with more than a couple of broken bones.<br />
<br />
====Song====<br />
'''One solitary cheese''' (ひとっこチーズ)<br> <br />

==Observations==<br />
* Charlotte's head is shaped like a wrapped sweet, this motif can also be seen on her grief seed<br />
* Watching carefully one can see that when Charlotte's second form gets injured a new Charlotte comes out of the mouth replacing the old as if the layers are being blown away<br />
* A [[Episode_3#Witches_and_desserts|charlotte]] is a type of dessert<br />
** Charlotte's head also bears strong resemblance to a [http://st.houzz.com/simgs/1f012ac300f42382_4-4604/eclectic-cookware.jpg Charlotte Mold], a cooking vessel used exclusively for the baking and forming of desserts<br />
* The name Charlotte could also refer to [[Wikipedia:Charlotte Buff|Charlotte Buff]], a woman [[Wikipedia:Goethe|Goethe]] unrequitedly loved and that deeply influenced him. The central and homonym character from Goethe's [[Wikipedia:The Sorrows of Young Werther|The Sorrows of Young Werther]] was based on her<br />
* [[Wikipedia:Pyotr|Pyotr]] is the Russian form of the given name Peter<br />
**The name Peter simply means 'stone' or 'rock' however given the sweet theme of the barrier - they could be a reference to rock candy<br />
**[[wikipedia:Pyotr_Ilyich_Tchaikovsky|Pyotr Ilyich Thaikovsky]] was a Russian romantic period composer who composed scores for ''The Nutcracker'' and ''Swan Lake.'' He also composed '''[[wikipedia:None_but_the_Lonely_Heart_(Tchaikovsky)|"None but the Lonely Heart",]]'' based on a poem by Lev Mei which was in turn translated from Goethe's ''Wilhelm Meister's Apprenticeship.''<br />
* [[Wikipedia:Polina (given name)|Polina]] is also a Russian given name, interpreted either as a short form of the name Apollinaria, or a variant form of the name Paulina<br />
**Polina means 'little stone', which is similar to Pyotr's etymology.<br />
**[[wikipedia:Polina_Semionova|Polina Semionova]] was a ballerina who once played the lead role in Thaikovsky's ''The Nutcracker.''<br />
**[[wikipedia:Pauline_von_Metternich|Pauline von Metternich]] was an Austrian socialite who was important in the promotion of Richard Wagner's work; it was at her request that Napolean III invited Wagner to "substantially amend" his opera ''[[wikipedia:Tannh%C3%A4user_(opera)|Tannhäuser]]'', creating what would be known as the "Paris version", which failed and would become one of the nineteenth century's greatest musical scandals. Wagner also dedicated a piano composition to her<br />
***''Tannhäuser'' "centers on the struggle between sacred and profane love, and redemption through love, a theme running through much of Wagner's mature work."<br />
* The [[Runes:Episode_3 | runes reading "MAMI MOGU MOGU GONBO"]] in Charlotte's barrier describe [[Mami Tomoe|Mami]]'s death, as mogu mogu is onomatopoeia for chewing, but also likely reference to a famous educational cooking TV show called [[wikipedia:ja:モグモグGOMBO|Mogu Mogu Gombo]]. <br />
** There is no significant difference between the Japanese pronunciations of gonbo and gombo, so gonbo is an alternate romanization.<br />
** Mogu Mogu Gombo aired from 1993 until 2003 and was hosted by two famous comedians (Kobuhei Hayashiya and HIROMI). The main target audience was children, but many adults also enjoyed it.<br />
** The cooking and eating themes of the show match Charlotte's themes of sweets and eating Mami. A children's show matches other aspects of the barrier: Charlotte looks like a doll in one form and a clown in the other, she has a tea party setup like what a little girl might arrange, and she fills her barrier with candy<br />
*It's been speculated that Charlotte's real body is the doll that sits across her in the anime, since Homura only manages to defeat her after stepping on it. However, Shinbo denies this in a interview published in the Kikan S magazine, volume 33.<br />
<br />
==Trivia==<br />
* A description in the [[Puella_Magi_Production_Note#Witch_of_cheesecake_.28early_concept_that_later_became_Charlotte.29 | Production Note]] reveals that Charlotte obtained "one single cheesecake" in strict accordance with her wish.<br />
* A line in the [[:file:Guidebook_0067.jpg|design for Charlotte's labyrinth]] in the [[Puella_Magi_Madoka_Magica_Official_Guidebook_"You_Are_Not_Alone"#Witch_Design|Official Guidebook]] says "It's really a delicious cheese cake. My dying mother wanted to eat it, but maybe I should have cured her disease instead. However, that surely wasn't appropriate."<br />
* On the official website, mousing over Charlotte's card changes the image from the first to the second using JavaScript.<br />
* Although official pronunciations of almost all witches' names are undisclosed, "Charlotte" is pronounced "シャルロッテ" (Sharurotte) like a German name (Shar-lot-teh) according to [http://www.amazon.co.jp/exec/obidos/ASIN/B004PVTNNK/ an official product's document].<br />
* Runes in Charlotte's card are styled like biscuits, she is the only witch to have a unique runic font like this<br />
* In Magia Record, Charlotte is the first witch to appear as Doppel and then an enemy witch<br />
<br />
===Charlotte in ''Rebellion''===<br />
* According to the [[Movie 3 Brochure]], Charlotte is called "Bebe" in ''[[Puella Magi Madoka Magica the Movie: Rebellion|Rebellion]]'' because the other characters can't actually read the [[runes]].<br />
** It's possible that Bebe's name was meant to contrast with Mami's name ("Baby" and "Mommy").<br />
* It is suggested that Charlotte's design was changed to make her more expressive<br />
* According to Witches Guide, Mami found Bebe in her original appearance (looking as Charlotte does) and was quiet. Mami sews Bebe new clothes and over time her appearance continues to change and she becomes even more interactive. This can also be seen in photographs of Bebe in Mami's apartment<br />
* Bebe actually talks to the other characters. When she speaks, bubbles with katakana appear from her mouth, though the noises she makes are just gibberish. The other characters appear to understand her just fine, and subtitles appear to let the viewer know what she's saying<br />
* Bebe is shown to be extremely close to Mami. Mami even says that if she didn't meet Bebe she would have fallen into despair long ago<br />

<br />
==In the Anime==<br />
* The content of Rumor wad changed from the game. Here's the text of Rumor that was changed (It's a fan translation)<br />
<blockquote><br />
Have you heard? Has anyone told you? The Rumor of the Lucky Owl Water! It's a delicious famous water that brings good luck. Once you have drunk it, you'll be instantly happy! All of your resentments and frustrations will go away! But, however, beware! If you've used up your twenty-four good fortunes, then misfortunes say "hello" and comes all at once! If you want to refuse it, you have no choice but to keep drinking the Lucky Water! It's a hot Rumor at the horse betting counter in Kōshō ward! How HORRIBLE!<br />
</blockquote><br />
* The name of the underlying Rumor was changed from the Misery Water to the Lucky Owl Water.<br />
* In the anime, the location where the Rhyton Uwasa exists was changed from Sankyō ward to Kōshō ward. However, the entrance to the underground water system where its location is appears to be located in Hokuyō ward.<br />
* Unlike the Rumor in the game, the Rumor in the anime forces the victims to become dependent on the Lucky Water. The Wings of Magius seem to be using this to gain more members.<br />
** Also, unlike in the game, the victims themselves aren't informed of how many of the 24 good fortunes are left.<br />
* In the game, water distribution was only done by a middle-aged man who rode a bicycle and did mobile catering, but in the anime, many humanoid performers work together to distribute water. While waiters wearing picture frames are distributing the water, humanoids such as masked men, accordion players and other street performers seem to be advertising the water. Those street performances look like a circus, or even a [[wikipedia:Freak show|freak show]].<br />
** Those humanoids and props seem to be formed by the Owl Uwasa as same as the game.<br />
** They are [https://twitter.com/kangidan1/status/1226168051642458113 designed by] J・A・Seazer and [https://twitter.com/gekidaninucurry/status/1223934991358296064 voiced by] the members of the theatre company organized by him.<br />
* The Rhyton Uwasa and the Owl Uwasa were redesigned.<br />
* The Uwasa's Barrier seems to use a hall in the underground aqueduct. The difference between its barrier and normal space is not very clear, except for some objects originated from the Rumor.<br />
** In that underground aqueduct, there seems to be an opposite gravity acting on the water. It falls when the Uwasa is collapsed.<br />
** The sound effect of the barrier collapsing sounds different from that of the Witches.<br />
<br />
==Trivia==<br />
* Due to an error, the drinking horn rumor's name was originally displayed in [[Runes]] that read "BOSSBATTLE BATTLEBOSS" ({{Runes|BOSSBATTLE BATTLEBOSS}}). This is presumably the default value for boss names in Magia Record. You can see it [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=j4WVHY0hizQ&feature=youtu.be&t=17m22s here].<br />
* The [[wikipedia:Rhyton|Rhyton]] is a type of ancient drinking cup with an animal head-shaped decoration. Often, the Rhyton has a hole in the decorative part of the animal's head at the bottom of the cup that acts as a spout.<br />
* The deliverers of the Lucky Water in the anime could be considered [[wikipedia:ja:香具師|Yashi]], the Japanese demonstration product salespersons accompanied by street performance.<br />
* At the time of the episode 7 aired, a [https://anime.magireco.com/news/?id=53387 promote event] was held in Japan to hand out mineral water that were modeled after Lucky Owl Water. See the page of [[Magia Record Episode 7: I Want to Go Home with You#Gallery|Episode 7]].<br />

== Summary ==<br />
This choice is unlocked after the [[Madoka Magica Portable Mami Route|Mami route]] is cleared without Mami becoming a witch. At the beginning, Mami, Madoka and Homura are already magical girls, with Homura wearing glasses. How would this take effect on Sayaka's tragic fate?<br />

[[File:Madoka Portable Kyousuke Suicide.jpg|right|thumb|300px|Kyousuke falls into despair.]]<br />
<br />
One day Sayaka is on her way to school as usual, when she notices that Madoka is walking with a senpai from school. That same day, there is a transfer student called Homura Akemi. After school, Sayaka invites Madoka to go shopping together, but Madoka says that she has something to do with Homura, so Sayaka goes to the CD store alone. <br />
<br />
When she leaves the CD store, however, she meets Madoka, Homura and Mami, who have just defeated Gertrud's familiars. Then Sayaka sees a white creature on Madoka's feet. Mami tells Kyubey to hide but Kyubey declares that it would be better to have more magical girls. Mami and Madoka are worried about Sayaka's potential in becoming a magical girl. <br />
<br />
Sayaka visits Kyousuke that night, and Kyousuke teaches her how to play the violin. When Sayaka leaves, Kyubey calls her, but she thinks it's a ghost and runs away since Kyubey doesn't show himself. <br />
<br />
Madoka, Homura and Mami go to fight Patricia and defeat her. Sayaka still can't be together with Madoka so she feels lonely. She asks to leave the next day, but visits Kyousuke that evening. Kyousuke knows that he can't play the violin any more so he is angry. He damages the CD player with his broken hand and says he doesn't want to see anyone. When Sayaka leaves the hospital, Kyubey goes after her and ask her to become a magical girl. Sayaka refuses his suggestion.<br />
<br />
The next day, Sayaka invites Madoka to have lunch together but Madoka says she has another date. After school, Sayaka visits Kyousuke again but he wont see her. Once again, Kyubey suggests that she forms a contract with him. He says that there are many talented artists whose lives were fragile and choose to die when they felt that it was impossible for them to do any better. Maybe Kyousuke is such a type of person. When Sayaka replies Kyousuke is not such a weak person, he tells her to check it herself. Kyousuke is not in his room, he goes to the top of the hospital and he is ready to commit suicide. Sayaka stops him and then contracts with Kyubey to become a magical girl.<br />
<br />
After contracting, she goes patrolling at night. Since Sayaka doesn't know that the other three girls are also magical girls she fights alone. But Kyousuke playing the violin for her makes her happy. She also fights against H.N.Elly and finds it hard to defeat witches.<br />
<br />
One day, when she is hunting Albertine's familiars, she meets Kyoko Sakura. They then begin to fight. But before Sayaka can get into any danger, Madoka, Homura and Mami appear and stop them. Kyoko leaves unhappily, saying she didn't know there were so many magical girls in that area. Sayaka then joins Mami's team to fight familiars. Sayaka discovers that she is far weaker than all of them. Not wanting to become a burden on the others, she decided to train herself.<br />
<br />
Two days later she meets Kyoko again, near the factory. Both of them are ready to fight again but they are stopped by Mami. Suddenly, a witch (Charlotte) appears and sucks them into her barrier. Kyoko understands why Mami is here since she can feel the witch's power, so she stops her fight and tells Sayaka (who can't tell how powerful this witch is) to be careful. Mami says it might have been caused by the fight between them. The girls fight against Charlotte but it is too powerful to even be defeated by all three magical girls, and Mami tells them to escape. But Sayaka, who didn't want to leave Mami alone, insisted on staying to fight alongside with Mami. However, Mami suffers the same fate as in the anime (getting decapitated by Charlotte).<br />
<br />
Kyoko helps Sayaka to escape from the witch's barrier. Knowing she is too weak to protect others, Sayaka thinks it is meaningless to be a magical girl any more. So, she throws her soul gem to dismiss her magical girl duty. The gem goes into the witch's barrier and it moves away. Madoka and Homura arrive to the scene to encounter a soulless Sayaka. At first, they think that Kyoko killed her. But Kyubey comes into Kyoko's defense and reveals a shocking truth: He tells them that they need to get Sayaka's soul gem back in two days or Sayaka may die forever. As in the anime, Kyoko use her magic to keep Sayaka's body from decomposing. Madoka and Homura go out to find the lost Soul Gem. <br />
<br />
Then there are 3 possible endings after this, depending on whether her soul gem is found within 2 days, and whether her soul gem is already completely tainted.<br />
<br />
1. '''Sayaka becomes a magical girl of justice'''. Madoka and Homura finally find Charlotte's barrier and they manage to defeat her; they recover Sayaka's soul gem. Both of them cry for Mami's death before her barrier disappears. They then go to Kyoko's place to revive Sayaka. When Sayaka wakes up, they tell her the truth. Sayaka is angry and asks Kyubey why he didn't tell them about this. Kyubey then explains the girls same was as in the anime. Sayaka thanks the three girls for helping her, and then she runs away. Sayaka cries near the river all night.<br />
<br />
The next day, Sayaka discovers Kyousuke going to school with Hitomi. At noon, she decides to confess to him. But when Sayaka tells him her feelings, her Soul Gem drops and Kyousuke sees it. Sayaka realizes it is impossible to be together with him.<br />
<br />
A depressed Sayaka goes to the observatory where she meets Kyoko. Sayaka confesses to Kyoko that she is in pain and tells her that she decided that she wants to leave Mitakihara. Kyoko tells Sayaka about her tragic story, and she says that she is even more 'baka' than Sayaka. The distrust and prejudice between the two vanishes and they begin to become close friends. <br />
<br />
Before the two of them leave the scene, they hear some screams. They finds Izabel's barrier and in the center are Kyousuke and Hitomi. Sayaka is afraid to save them at first because of what they would think of her, but Kyoko persuades her. Kyousuke and Hitomi pass out and they do not see the fight. Sayaka and Kyoko then leave the area before they wake up. Kyousuke and Hitomi would recall hearing Sayaka's voice saying that she was a hero of justice, but they dismiss it as thinking that they were just dreaming. After this event, Kyoko decides to return to Kazamino and she points out that there are already three successors to Mami's will. Kyoko suggests that they can call her whenever they need her help.<br />
<br />
Sayaka then fights Walpurgis with Homura and Madoka, but she dies during the fight. Kyoko is not there because Sayaka chose not to ask for her help. Sayaka says it an insurance to keep Kyoko from this battle because they might all die. If this happens, Mitakihara will be left for Kyoko. In the end the three girls are defeated by Walpurgis but the town is evacuated on time. Sayaka dies and Madoka dies later because of her injuries, leaving Homura alone. Alone again, Homura starts wondering how things would have been if Kyoko would have helped them and convinces herself that Kyoko should help them next time. Promising to save Madoka, Homura resets the timeline. <br />
<br />
2. '''Soul gem is found, but Sayaka becomes a witch'''. The beginning is the same as above, but instead of going to observatory, Sayaka goes to the street where she meets Kyoko. Then they hears some people screaming. In the center of Izabel's barrier, they find Kyousuke and Hitomi there, clear-headed. They witness the fighting. After the witch is defeated, they're both upset with Sayaka. Kyousuke calls Sayaka a monster rather than thanking her and Sayaka becomes depressed. Kyoko tries to comfort her, but Sayaka leaves alone and calls herself a monster.<br />
<br />
Sayaka begins to fight familiars endlessly, like in the anime, and meets hosts badmouthing their girlfriends on a train. Finally Kyoko finds her in the station and calls Madoka and Homura, just before Sayaka turns into Oktavia. Kyubey then tells them how a magical girl turns into a witch and generates a lot of energy. Kyoko then tries to turn Sayaka back as what she does in the anime. Eventually Kyoko sacrifices herself to end Oktavia. After this, Madoka becomes very depressed and locked herself in her room. Homura visits her twice to have her heart unlocked. Then they are preparing hard for Walpurgis. However, Walpurgis Night comes and it plays out the same way. <br />
<br />
3. '''Soul gem is not found within 2 days'''. Madoka and Homura are trying hard to find Sayaka's soul gem, but since they are newbie, they can't tell the difference between barriers of witches and familiars. After 2 days, Madoka blames herself badly, and Kyoko comes. Kyoko says it's her wrong to rely on those newbie magical girls, and asks them to return to school. She finds Charlotte's barrier quickly with her experience, and fights hard to defeat her. But Kyoko doesn't have enough magic to preserve Sayaka's body and hunt and fight witches at the same time, so Sayaka's body starts to rot. When Kyoko finally finds Sayaka's soul gem, she passes out from exhaustion. While Kyoko is asleep, Sayaka wakes up and goes home, unaware of her current condition. Kyosuke visits Sayaka at home to play violin for her as a thank. Then he sees Sayaka's alive but in a state of decomposition, and calls her a monster. Meanwhile Homura, Madoka, and Kyoko, realizing that Sayaka is gone, they arrive at Sayaka's home after Kyosuke runs away. Sayaka now knows her condition by seeing the reflection of herself in the door. She begins to ask why she becomes like this, and calls Madoka and Kyoko for help. But since they have no way to help her, Sayaka falls into despair immediately. Kyoko sees her soul gem quickly become black then transform into grief seed, and Sayaka turns into Oktavia. What happens next is the same as above.<br />
<br />

<br />
== Observations and Trivia ==<br />
* Kyubey says that a magical girl's body will begin to rot after losing contact with her soul gem for 2 days.<br />
* In the 3rd episode of anime, Kyubey suggest Mami not to go too fast to avoid stimulating the witch. In this route, Charlotte becomes abnormally powerful because of the fighting between Kyoko and Sayaka.<br />
* Mami seems not too welcome new magical girls. When Kyubey tells her about irregular magical girl Homura, she is not happy. When Sayaka sees Kyubey, she concerns about her becoming a new magical girl. Mami doesn't think it better to have more magical girls.<br />
* Homura seems to know Sayaka as a magical girl in the beginning. Madoka corrects her that Sayaka is only her friend, not a magical girl.<br />
* In this timeline, Madoka's wish seems to be letting her family always happy.<br />
* Oktavia's barrier is a little different between ending 2 and 3. In ending 2, Kyoko gets into Oktavia's room immediately. They have to pass 5-level labyrinth before seeing Oktavia in ending 3.<br />
*Homura's personality is depicted differently in each separate route: <br />
**Homura is a bashful and inexperience magical girl.<br />
<br />
== Speculations ==<br />
* Kyubey suggests Mami to have special training with both Madoka and Homura. Kyubey may try to get close to and make contract with Sayaka, without being aware by Mami, Madoka and Homura by doing this way.<br />
* There are five famous/historical artists depicted in the game. It is suspected that the famous artists are: [[wikipedia:Ernest_Hemingway|Ernest Hemingway]], [[wikipedia:Marilyn_Monroe|Marilyn Monroe]], [[wikipedia:Vincent_van_Gogh|Vincent van Gogh]], and [[wikipedia:Yukio_Mishima|Yukio Mishima]]. The fifth figure at the extreme left in the drawing is [[Osamu Dazai]], a famous Japanese author who comitted suicide with his wife. Please compare the drawing of him here with that of the photo on this [[wikipedia:Osamu_Dazai|Wikipedia page]] and you will see that the one is a mirror image of the other.<br />
<br />
== Strategy ==<br />
* This route allows access to many abilities through multiple encounter opportunities with [[Albertine]] familiars, which is recommended to accumulate spell books. <br />
** Sayaka can fight them once in day 9. Homura and Madoka can fight them twice or three times (in day 12~13), depending on whether Sayaka is meant to be given up.<br />
*Glasses Homura's base stats are very low by default, which means many of her powerful abilities cannot be accessed. However, she can use Suspend Time (時間停止), Time Bomb (時限爆弾), and High Caliber Pistol (大口径拳銃). These abilities will even allow her to solo Albertine familiars and [[Charlotte]], the most difficult encounters Homura and Madoka will face alone. Though it is recommended to also make use of Madoka's higher damage attacks to minimize damage. The use of Suspend Time is also helpful in support of the fight against [[Oktavia]], the most difficult encounter in this route, though Homura's lack of firepower should be compensated through the use of Kyoko's more damaging abilities. For Sayaka's route, the Oktavia fight will end when her health is at 30%.<br />
*Because the route offers opportunities to face Oktavia, it is preferable to invest more play time, base stat points and abilities with Kyoko, rather than Sayaka. Even if Sayaka is saved in the route, her soul gem tends to get dark quickly, so it's suggested to switch to playing Kyoko as much as possible to avoid using up too many grief seeds. It's recommended to invest in Kyoko's Negate Spec. Stat Effects (精神系状態異常無効), for the encounter with [[Izabel]]. Kyoko's Steal (盗む) and Dozen Thrust (打突) are also useful for all encounters. For Kyoko, Hammer Down the Witches (魔女に与える鉄槌) is effective for single target damage to bosses. Sayaka's strong ability for single target is Spark Edge (スパークエッジ), which is easy to obtain, has effective damage for the cost, and does not have a charge delay.<br />
*Madoka's higher level abilities such as Starlight Arrow (スターライトアロー) is effective, particularly against stacked enemies. However, she tends to take damage much more easily than Kyoko and lacks Homura's avoidance abilities, so it requires more of an investment to make her as useful in combat. But as in the case of fighting Charlotte, her Twinkle Arrow ( トゥインクルアロー) works in excellent combination with Homura's Suspend Time to quickly kill her off.<br />
*Although this is Sayaka route, it is unnecessary to give Sayaka too many enhancement items since she doesn't have many chances to fight. Leave most of them for Kyoko and Homura is better. Her status is OK to handle battles by herself.<br />

}}<br />
<br />
The Sakura family consist of a father, a mother, and two daughters, [[Kyoko Sakura|Sakura Kyoko]] and [[Momo Sakura|Sakura Momo]]. Kyoko is the oldest daughter, making Momo the youngest. Kyoko's father was the priest of the [[Sakura Church]]. In the anime version it is implied that the family resided in Mitakihara, but according to the [[Drama CD 3|Drama CD ''"Farewell Story"'']], Kyoko and her family resided in [[Kazamino City|Kazamino]] at the time. To make things more confusing, the [[Sakura Church]] is either believed to be in Mitakihara or in Kazamino city.<br />
<br />
==Story==<br />
Kyoko's father was a sensitive and an idealistic man who added his personal beliefs within his preaching that went against acceptable church orthodoxy. As a result he was excommunicated for deviating from acceptable religious doctrine. For a time the family went hungry as people stopped attending their church. Kyoko used her wish to make people ''"believe her father's words"'' so his audience would be more accepting of his lofty ideals. Suddenly, people started to flock to the Sakura Church and they accepted the new beliefs unconditionally. This new vigor and devotion to the new beliefs convinced Kyoko's father that people were now devoted to his ideals. When a Witch invaded the Sakura Church her father found out that Kyoko was a magical girl. In the process, he also learned of Kyoko's wish which was the reason why people started to become unconditionally faithful to the new beliefs. Her father started to drink heavily after that. He realized that the only reason people started to accept his new doctrine was because of magic, people felt under his "spell" and obeyed his words without any question. This was a result of magic and not because of personal devotion. This realization began his descent into madness.<br />
<br />
One day, Kyoko's father (in a fit of madness) killed his family and committed suicide by hanging himself. Kyoko was the sole survivor of the gruesome event. After seeing what had become of her family, Kyoko's ideals were shattered and she began to live selfishly. <br />
<br />
==Father==<br />
* Kyoko's father was a priest who was responsible for the overseeing of a large cathedral. As a result of preaching new ideas and deviating from church doctrine he was excommunicated from the order, he was also alienated from his congregation as a result of preaching heresy (?).<br />
** Kyoko's father could be an [[wikipedia:Nippon Sei Ko Kai|Anglican priest]] since he is married with children, also his clergy outfit is similar to their style. Another evidence is that his cathedral shares some architectural similarities to the [[wikipedia:Canterbury Cathedral|Canterbury Cathedral]]. <br />
* According to Kyoko, her father was an extremely kind and sensitive man. So sensitive that he was in constant worry due to the state of the world's affairs. In her own words: ''"He was too honest. Too kind. Every morning reading the paper, the worries of the world brought him to tears"''. As a result of this he started preaching new ideas born more from his convoluted (idealistic) emotions rather than continue to preach the acceptable doctrine, which got him and his family to become destitute and hungry. Driven by hunger and pity, Kyoko made her wish to help his father find new followers by making anyone who listened to him to believe his words. But Kyoko's father soon learned the truth behind the miracle that he experienced, that his preaching was only accepted as a result of magic and not by real devotion to his radical ideas. The fact that his followers' hearts and minds were manipulated by magic shattered his mind and worldview. Once Kyoko's father is confronted with the awful truth, probably driven by madness, he decides to kill his wife and Kyoko's little sister, after murdering his family in cold blood he commits suicide. It is unknown how or why Kyoko survived or if her father tried to take her life. It is assumed that she most likely survived as a result of her being a magical girl who cannot die unless her Soul Gem is destroyed.<br />
* Because of Kyoko's wish her father had the mental ability to influence and manipulate the mind of others to believe him. Perhaps he even had the ability to persuade others to follow his orders without forcing them. It is not known what is the extension of his powers. The only clue that exists is that whoever listened to Kyoko's father they would listen and believe him (no matter how absurd his statement or lofty his ideals). It is not know what is the duration of the spell (if there is any), its effects on the individual, or if there is any mental damage in the person (and if there is, if it is permanent on the target).<br />
<br />
==Mother==<br />
Not much information is given about Kyoko's mother other than she was a caring and patient woman who supported her husband and family to the best of her abilities.<br />
<br />
==Momo Sakura==<br />
''See [[Momo Sakura]]''<br />
<br />
==Kyoko Sakura==<br />
''See [[Kyoko Sakura]]''<br />
<br />
==Observations==<br />
*It is suggested in the manga that Kyouko's father was physically abusing his wife.<br />
*In [[Puella Magi Madoka Magica: The Different Story]] a news broadcast indicates that a private residence in [[Kazamino City]] was caught on fire, inside the residency they found the bodies of the three members of the Sakura family. According with police the residents were forced in a multiple suicide act but the broadcast doesn't mention any other details. It is not known if the police suspected Kyoko's father as the perpetrator, or if the private residency was the [[Sakura Church]]. The manga seems to leave a strong impression that the Sakura Church functioned as their private residence as well.<br />
<br />
==Etymology==<br />
*The first character for Sakura (佐) means "to help" while the second (倉) means "warehouse."<br />
<br />
==Trivia==<br />
* Kyoko's father and mother don't have an official name. <br />
* The studio drew an official anime design for the character of the father but it was never used in the series. <br />
* The studio never drew an official anime design for the character of the mother.<br />
** Instead, they depicted both of them as stylized paper cutouts in [[Episode 7]].<br />
* The manga [[Puella Magi Madoka Magica: The Different Story]] has a more detailed design of Kyoko's father. The mother's appearance in the manga is the first detailed design of hers.<br />
* [http://www.animenewsnetwork.com/encyclopedia/people.php?id=1669 Banjou Ginga] is the voice actor of Kyoko's father in the [[Madoka Magica Drama CD 3: Farewell Story|Drama CD: Farewell Story]]. The character doesn't have a speaking role in the original series.<br />
* [http://www.animenewsnetwork.com/encyclopedia/people.php?id=542 Kikuko Inoue] is the voice actress of Kyoko's mother in the [[Madoka Magica Drama CD 3: Farewell Story|Drama CD: Farewell Story]]. The character doesn't have a speaking role in the original series.<br />

<div>== Why Grown-up Men Also Cried After They Watched Puella Magi Madoka Magica ==<br />
[[File:Weekly Spa 07.19.2011 2.jpg|thumb]]<br />
''Translation courtesy of symbv from evageeks forum''<br />
<br />
Translator's comment: There was a long discussion between five "noted commentators" on the anime, why it was so popular even outside the usual anime fandom, and what it means to contemporary Japanese and the society. Its online site has one short report, named "Why grown-up men also cried after they watched PMMM" Source: [http://nikkan-spa.jp/25546]<br />
<br />
「最後にね、友情がね、奇跡を起こすんですよ……」と切なげに語るのは、精密機械メーカーで営業職の中山亨さん(仮名・38歳)だ。<br />
"It was the ending.. There was friendship, and it made a miracle...". Nakayama-san (age 38), working in a precise instrument maker company, said with some sadness.<br />
<br />
「まどかとさやか、まどかとマミさん、さやかと杏子、いろんな組み合わせの友情が描かれますが、すべて過酷な運命に翻弄され報われない結果を迎えます。でも、まどかとほむらだけが最後の最後に奇跡を起こす。しかも、まどかは因果を受け入れ、せっかく成就した友情という絆をも軽々と乗り越えてしまう。なんか、その奇跡に立ち会えたことに感謝したくなるんですよ」<br />
<br />
"There were various friendship pair-ups like Madoka and Sayaka, Madoka and Mami, Sayaka and Kyoko, in the show, and all of them were tossed around by cruel fate and met an unfulfilled end. But there was also Madoka and Homura - only they managed to cause a miracle at the end of the end. Not only that, Madoka accepted all the causes and effects and calmly got over the hold-up resulting from a friendship that finally bore fruit. Well, it made me want to say thanks for being able to encounter such a miracle."<br />
<br />
保険会社に勤める斉田哲治さん(仮名・42歳)は「僕も、まどかのように取り柄がないんですよ。『僕には何ができるんだ?』って、ずっとそういうふうに悩んでいました」と告白する。<br />
<br />
Saida-san (age 42), who worked in an insurance company, said "I don't think I have the merit as shown by Madoka. I have always been troubled by the thought 'What am I able to do?'"<br />
<br />
「いわば凡人であるまどかが、選択を繰り返し何かを得たり失ったり。だからこそ最後の選択に心が震えるわけです。お母さんが背中を押してくれるシーン、歴代の魔法少女たちを慰撫するシーン、あぁ、もう目から汗が……。あ、でも、杏子も好きですよ」<br />
<br />
"Madoka is a so-called "ordinary person" and she came across repeated occasions of choices and through the choices won something and lost something. And because of all these I could feel my shuddering at my heart when I saw her final choice. The scene when her mother came to back her up; the scene when she comforted all those mahou shoujo in history...Ah! My eyes are already watering.... Ah, and also I really love Kyoko!"<br />
<br />
「まどかの行為は滅私のようで、その実、愛する人たちとの関係性を内包し続けるという自己愛で、本人もそれに自覚的」と気難しい顔で語るのは高城亮さん(仮名・34歳)。<br />
<br />
Takagi-san (age 34) said with a moody face, "It looked as if Madoka's behavior was all altruistic, but in its core, there was also the self-love which also continued to be inclusive of the links towards all those she loved. I am also very much aware of such within myself."<br />
<br />
「周囲や視聴者が感じがちな悲しみは、『忘却されること』が『死』と近似的だからだろうけど、彼女は死んでいないので、本人は案外平気だと思う。宗教、倫理規範のない日本におけるボランタリズムのあるべき姿にも通じ、『ボランティアが好き』と言うたびに周囲に怪訝な顔をされてきた自分を肯定してくれた気がするんです」<br />
<br />
"The sadness often expressed by the viewers and those around me is due to the thought that "being forgotten" is so close to "death," but since she has not died, I myself am surprisingly, fine with it. It can be reflected back into how volunteerism should be like in Japan where there is no religion and no external moral standard. When I told everyone that "I love to volunteer" and they showed me dubious faces. I feel that this anime confirms that I am in the right."<br />
<br />
聞けば、社会学者の宮台真司氏、評論家の宮崎哲弥氏、幹細胞生物学者の八代嘉美氏といった“知の巨人”たちも同様に『まどマギ』にハマっているというではないか。そこで、彼らにも現在発売中の週刊SPA!7月19日号で縦横無尽に語ってもらった。<br />
<br />
<br />
Editors of Spa: When we asked around, we found that "big names of intelligentsia" like sociologist Shinji Miyadai, commentator Tetsuya Miyazaki, stem cell biologist Yoshimi Yashiro are also big fans of Madoka Magika. And we have invited them to talk freely about this anime in the latest July 19th issue of Weekly Spa.<br />

''Translator comment: You can see how "high criticism" of anime in Japan is like. In fact 2ch [Madoka fans] do not think much of the point of view, particularly when he said that Japan now is not good for a cheerful show like K-On.''<br />
<br />
Shinji Miyadai is a Professor of Urban Liberal Studies in Tokyo Metropolitan University. Specialized in Social System Theory. Recent books written include “Earthquake and Nuclear Energy – The Crisis from Now On” co-authored with video journalist Tetsuo Jinbo.<br />
<br />
“Madoka Magica” is a story about bonds that surpassed “Sekai-kei”<br />
<br />
In 1979 there was “Mobile Suit Gundam”; in 1995 there was “Neo-Genesis Evangelion” (Eva). In a 15-year cycle there is an epoch-making anime and “Madoka” clearly came out from this trend. When “Eva” was out it was precisely 1995 when the mood of fin de siècle was very much in the air as the great earthquake of Hanshin-Awaji and the incident of Aum Shinrikyo sect happened. After that, there were many works of “sekai-kei” in which the mystery of the “world” is directly connected to the character's own issues. I believe “Madoka” is '''a story that overcame the trap of “sekai-kei” where the feeling of the self-consciousness reached a dead-end'''.<br />
<br />
In Sekai-kei, as long as the protagonist is recognized by the surrounding then anything is OK, but it is the opposite in Madoka: '''Even though the surrounding is telling you that “Because only this 'society' will give you the recognition, do not leave,” you make the decision that “I will still leave.”''' What made this development a reality is the bond between Madoka and those surrounding her. Although Madoka did not notice the bond that gradually grew out of bits and pieces everyday, she eventually noticed its cause and effect and came to accept her role. '''And so even we are talking about Mahou Shoujo, it is not really about transformation but a body flip-over. She is a heroine who flips over herself and cannot un-flip back to what she was.'''<br />
<br />
This is in synch with the earthquake I mentioned earlier. In a crisis situation, the bonding will be tested in all ways imaginable. What would be the means you can still rely till the end? '''Even though we may hold certain worry that such bond may be just as a playful thing, we cannot live without bonds [to each other]. I feel that it managed to reproduce the mood of year 2011'''.<br />
<br />
'''It would be difficult to produce a cheerful slice-of-life drama like “K-On!!” in a Japan after the earthquake, and “Madoka” may be the antithesis to “shitty” midnight anime in 00s that had become something that only some of the males could enjoy.'''<br />
<br />
Another thing that is important is the element of “wish”. Even though I meant well but then I got bound to something undesirable – it was just like what we experienced through the earthquake. It is also the cause of miscommunication. In Episode 3, Madoka's dialogue, “I did not ask for the cellphone number” can also be interpreted as a metaphor for that. '''The flip side of making a wish also means grudge and resentment remain.''' And originally this was the general principle behind Greek tragedies. All the events in “Madoka” also established the cause and effect along the extension line of the conducts of the characters. There is a “world” inside the “society”. In contrast, in “Eva” the absurdities that were the “Angels” came from a “world” that was outside the “society”. It may be a thinking from the school of romanticism, '''the drama [in sekai-kei] always tend to depend on an outside source. This common issue faced by sekai-kei was overcome by the bonding in “Madoka”'''.<br />
<br />
An ordinary young girl noticed the connections that had been supporting her, made a flip-over, and fulfilled her duty. As a structure for a story, it is truly moving. I could not hold back my tears at the end. I can watch it many many times. It is clearly a meaningful work no matter if an ordinary girl watches it or a grown-up man like me watches it.<br />

|-<br />
|1979年に『機動戦士ガンダム』、1995年に『新世紀エヴァンゲリオン』 (以下『エヴァ』)とエポックメイキングな作品は15年周期で生まれていて『まどか』もやはり、その流れで出てきたと思います。ちょうど『エヴァ』 は’95年の阪神淡路大震災とオウム事件という世紀末感を掬い上げていました。それ以降、「世界」の謎が自分の問題と直結する「セカイ系」と呼ばれる作品 が多く生まれました。『まどか』はセカイ系が陥っていた自意識のどん詰まり感を超えていく物語だと考えています。<br />
|-<br />
|セカイ系では主人公が 周囲から承認されればすべてOKですが、まどかは逆で、周りからは「あなたが承認されるのはこの『社会』しかないから出ていかないで」と言われるんだけど 「私は出ていくよ」という決断をする。その展開をリアルにしているのは、まどかと周囲の絆なんですね。毎日の積み重ねで生まれてゆく絆、まどかはそれに気 づいてなかったんだけど、最終的にその因果に気づいて自分の役割を引き受ける。だから魔法少女と言っても変身じゃなくて翻身。二度と戻れない翻身のヒロイ ンなんです。<br />
|-<br />
|これは先の震災ともシンクロするんですが、危機的な状況下では、ありとあらゆる局面で絆が試されますよね。何が最後まで頼 れるよすがになるのか。普段はただの戯れじゃないのかという疑念を抱えながらも、我々は絆なしには生きられない。そんな2011年の気分が写し取られてい る気がします。<br />
|-<br />
|震災後の日本で『けいおん!!』のようなお気楽な日常ドラマは難しいし、すでに一部の男性しか享受できなくなりつつあった“クソみたい”なゼロ年代的深夜アニメに対するアンチテーゼとしての『まどか』だったのかもしれない。<br />
|-<br />
|もうひとつ重要なのは、「願い」という要素です。よかれと思ってしたことが大変なことに繋がってしまうというのは、我々がまさに震災で経験したことです。 これはディスコミュニケーションにも起因します。第3話に出てくる「携帯の番号、聞いてなかった」というまどかのセリフもそういうことへのメタファーとも 読み取れる。願い事というのは裏を返せば怨念や恨みを残すことにもなる。もともとこれはギリシャ悲劇の基本原則に沿ったものなんですが『まどか』の劇中の 出来事もすべて人の振る舞いの延長線上に因果が成り立っていて、「社会」のなかに「世界」がある。対照的に『エヴァ』だと使徒という不条理が「社会」の外 である「世界」からやってくる。これはロマン派的な考え方なんですが、どうしてもドラマが他力本願になりがちなんですね。そんなセカイ系が持つ課題を『ま どか』は絆により乗り越えた。<br />
|-<br />
|平凡な少女が自分を支えていた関係性に気づき、翻身をして、義務を果たす。物語の構造として感動的ですよね。最後のほうは涙なしではいられなかったです。何度見てもいい。普通の女のコが見ても、僕みたいなおじさんが見ても、明らかに意味のある作品ですから。<br />

<br />
Commentator working in various media focusing mainly on current affairs, political philosophy, and Buddhism. He also carries in-depth studies regarding sub-culture. Recent books include “Loneliness Sayonara Meeting,” co-authored with monk Ryunosuke Koike.<br />
<br />
When I first saw the bewitched space I was surprised. It was so successful at giving that premonition feeling that “something must be hiding inside.” Although there are quite a lot of titles in midnight anime which ended without fully developing the main theme, “MadoMagi” completed it magnificently. What made such a feat possible was the existence of the role of Kyubey, which explained the system of the world.<br />
<br />
And at the same time Kyubey is also a unique character. Even just that look was very repressive, heartless and cunning. '''His fundamental sense of values is exactly utilitarianism as talked about by [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kBdfcR-8hEY Michael Sandel]. It is a “universe utilitarianism” – if it is for the continuation of the whole universe, it is fine to ignore what happens to the individual entities. In that sense, Kyubey is like a “bad Buddhist.”''' Although he is familiar with the cause-and-effect law of nature, he just decides this law is immutable and then makes use of it to exploit the mahou shoujo.<br />
<br />
The idea that excessive hope will necessarily give birth to deep despair is a remarkable Buddhist law of cause-and-effect. And that became the foundation of the world view. Moreover, '''at the climax Madoka, who came to save all the mahou shoujo who had ever existed in history, is exactly like a [[wikipedia:Bodhisattva|Bodhisattva]] (the one who vows to save all human beings). And then she also created a new universe, the [[wikipedia:Pure_land Pure|Land (Joudo)]], and she became ubiquitous in this universe and then turned into a “concept” that transcended even that. In Buddhist terms, she is like [[wikipedia:Nyorai|“Nyorai” (Tathagata)]] or simply Buddha herself.'''<br />
<br />
However, even in this new universe created by Madoka, there was no escape from the domination of the law of cause-and-effect. The imbalance of the world just changed its form and manifested as “Maju.” It is not a simple happy ending.<br />
<br />
In “MadoMagi,” '''Madoka, a girl who can found everywhere – in Buddhism she would be called [[wikipedia:ja:凡夫|“Bonpu”]] (a common mortal, unenlightened one, a [http://www.advayavada.org/glossary.htm#16 Prthag-Jana]), rushed up in one go on the staircase towards Bodhisattva and Nyorai. It can be called an ultimate coming-of-age story.'''<br />
<br />
And besides a logical interpretation I just mentioned, there is one thing that was particularly touching to me, which is the disappearance of Madoka, or the sense of loss beyond description that dawned on me when I saw the world where she had never existed at all. '''I believe this “sense of loss towards something that had never existed” is a very important hidden theme.'''<br />
<br />
And then there is Madoka's mother. She trusted her daughter from her heart. The scene on the staircase in the gymnasium where she tapped on Madoka's back and let her go is the highlight of this anime.<br />
<br />
== Yoshimi Yashiro (stem-cell biologist) ==<br />
''Translation courtesy of symbv from evageeks forum''<br />
<br />
''Translator note: This one gives a biologist and doctor's point of view. While Yashiro did not mention the donor's name (of HeLa cell), her name is [[wikipedia:Henrietta_Lacks|Henrietta Lacks]] (hence the name of the cell HeLa, taken from the first 2 alphabets of her first and last names). A bestseller non-fiction [[wikipedia:The_Immortal_Life_of_Henrietta_Lacks|"The Immortal Life of Henrietta Lacks"]] was published last year to much acclaim.'' <br />
<br />
Stem-cell biologist. Specially appointed assistant professor of Integrated Center for Medical Research of Keio University. Besides doing researches on stem-cell biology and medical ethics, he also writes for “Synodos Journal”. One of the books he wrote is “IPS Cell – the Discovery of Century that can Change Medical Science”<br />
<br />
Madoka Magica is a story that asks “Is there a right choice?”<br />
<br />
This anime got my attention partly because there was Gen Urobuchi, famous for writing hard-boiled scenarios, doing the screenplay. The combination of a story in which girls were tossed around by cruel destinies and avant-garde visual elements reminds me of “Revolutionary Girl Utena”. '''Homura before time loops was fine, and Homura with eyeglasses too... And then there is the dashing thrill that knocked down the fluffy mood at the beginning as well as the exhilaration feeling coming from the actions. I sensed that it was an anime that rivals “Gundam” and “Eva”.'''<br />
<br />
Starting with the spoiler, “Why are those girls called Mahou Shoujo?”, there are many scenes that leave quite an impression. The moment when the irreconcilable world view was presented I just felt a load was suddenly lifted off from me. What came into my mind first was the [[wikipedia:HeLa|“HeLa Cell”]]. It was cultured from the tumor cells taken from a black woman who was long dead. This is a cell that is the first in human history that can be grown in culture in indefinite generations. It is a success in medical history that made possible a lot of cell researches. On the other hand, when it comes to whether there was any benefit for the person who provided the cells and her family, there was not. That means even though she contributed tremendously to the public interest, we were left with the question of how we should consider this reality which the family the woman left behind do not want to look back.<br />
<br />
In medical science we can have the dilemma just mentioned where a broader point of view would be demanded. Even if I want to save the patient sitting right in front of me, within the big number mathematics called “epidemiology” we must also extinguish the wish of every individual. On issues related to Regenerative Medicine, the area of my specialization, too, there is no one correct answer. '''Just like Madoka who made the final choice out of her own will, there can be such a time that even though I know there is no perfect answer, I still have to make a certain choice. This anime pushed me to become aware of such an issue again. This was the impression I had of the story's conclusion.'''<br />
<br />
There are a lot of people around me who work really hard, just like Madoka's mother. But there are also people who are more like witches.... But then it is not limited to females as it is something that being a researcher can easily fall into – in order to be able to conduct the research that I want to do I need the budget, and in order to get the budget I need the results... and going round and round and soon enough '''slowly the means and the ends get messed up. It is something that can exist in any world. As an adult even though we understand it, we still have to make choices. In the end, by making such choices repeatedly all of us grow up and become adults.''' I think this is an anime that carries such a serious and fundamental theme. <br />

|脚本がハードなシナリオを得意とする虚淵玄さんということもあって、注目していました。女のコが過酷な運命に翻弄される物語と、アバンギャルドなビジュア ルという組み合わせは『少女革命ウテナ』を彷彿とさせますね。ループ前のほむらもいいし、眼鏡のほむらも……最初のホワホワ感を突き落とすドライブ感やア クションの爽快感もあって、『ガンダム』や『エヴァ』にも匹敵する作品だと感じました。<br />
|-<br />
|「なぜ彼女たちが魔法少女と呼ばれるのか」という ネタばらしをはじめ、印象に残るシーンは多い。相入れない価値観が提示される瞬間にドスッときました。そこでまず思い出したのは「HeLa(ヒーラ)細 胞」でした。亡くなった黒人女性のがん細胞を培養したもので、ヒトに由来する歴史上初の継代可能な培養細胞で、さまざまな研究を可能にした医学史に残る成 果です。しかし一方で、細胞を提供した本人や遺族にいいことがあったかというと、ない。つまり公の利益にはすごく寄与したけれど、残された彼女の家族が顧 みられない現実をどう考えるべきなのか?というエピソードです。<br />
|-<br />
|医学にもマクロな視点が要求されるがゆえのジレンマがあります。目の前 の患者さんは救いたいけど、「疫学」というマクロの数学のなかでは個の祈りは消えざるを得ない。私の専門である再生医療の問題にしても、正解はありませ ん。まどかが最終的に自らの意思で選択したように、万能な答えではないと知りながらも何かを選ばなければならないときがある。そのことに改めて自覚させら れる。そういう結末なのかなあと。<br />
|-<br />
|まどかのお母さんみたいにバリバリやってる人は身近にたくさんいますよ。そりゃ魔女に近い人も……。 でもそれは女性に限らず研究者なら誰でも陥りやすいことで、自分がやりたい研究をやるためには予算がいる。そのためには成果が必要で……とグルグルやって いくうちに次第に手段と目的がずれてしまう。どの世界でもあることですし、大人はそれがわかっていても選択しなくちゃいけない。結局は選択を繰り返すこと で誰しもが大人になっていく。そんなシリアスで根源的なテーマを持ったアニメだと思います。<br />

==History==<br />
===Madoka Magica Portable===<br />
Albertine makes her first appearance in [[Madoka Magica Portable]]. [[Dengeki_PlayStation_2012-02|An official article from Dengeki Playstation]] suggests that she could have come from the Anja familiar from [[Episode 5]]. While her Anja appear in numerous routes along with her barrier, she only makes an appearance in the [[Madoka_Magica_Portable#Mysterious_Witch.27s_Barrier|mysterious witches barrier]] "Fool's Barrier," which is unlocked by completing Sayaka's route.<br />
<br />
During her boss fight she is shown to be able to create different [[Anja]] by drawing them on the ground. She occasionally hides herself in building blocks. To make her reappear, just attack the building blocks in her barrier. She may begin to cry when suffered attack. Your magical girl can't attack her when she cries without Negate Spec. Stat Effects(精神系異常状態無効) ability.<br />
<br />
Her barrier resembles Anja's barrier from Episode 5 however the boss room has an entirely new design. Information from the Madogatari event describe her barrier in greater detail: Once you enter, you become smaller while everything around you seems big. This is shown during Albertine's boss fight and is shown again in the Magia Record anime. The boss room is described as a planetarium-like space with eyes, eyebrows and mouths on the ceiling. Only the eyes seem to appear in the final version however.<br />
<br />
===Magia Record===<br />
Albertine makes an appearance in Magia Record after her appearance in the anime. Her description stays the same as her original anime description.<br />
<br />
===Magia Record Anime===<br />
Albertine appears in [[Magia Record Episode 5: There's No Place For You Here|Episode 5]] against [[Momoko Togame]], [[Rena Minami]] and [[Kaede Akino]]. She grows to an enormous size to fight Kaede, however Kaede defeats her with her doppel attack. She appears to have black and rainbow coloured blood.<br />
<br />
==Madogatari==<br />
<br />
===Descriptions===<br />
====Albertine====<br />
"The witch of scribbles. Her nature is ignorance.<br />
She loves hide-and-seek.<br />
Her minions strive to play hide-and-seek every day, but because none of her minions are very intelligent, none of them seek her out.<br />
When this solitary witch sees a human, she runs up to them and tries to invite them to play.<br />
If you're unwise enough to humor her, she'll playfully pull your heart out, but if you ignore her, she'll try to get your attention by stealing something precious of yours."<br />
====Barrier====<br />
Some notes on her barrier were shared during the exhibition. A summary is presented below:<br><br />
-Things that enter her Labyrinth become tiny.<br><br />
-This causes her minions to look large, and the witch to look gigantic, which cancels out the "little girl" impression you'd otherwise get.<br><br />
-The deepest part is a "planetarium-like area," with the bottom part resembling the minions' corridor areas.<br><br />
-Big, fluffy yellow blobs move around on the walls. Bouncy balls (like Anja's?) come out of them.<br><br />
-There's eyes, eyebrows and mouths on the ceiling.<br><br />

==Observations==<br />
*It is highly likely Albertine was a young child, judging by her mannerisms and how she is a scribbling witch as scribbling is something commonly associated with children all the same<br />
*Albertine's name may come from [[wikipedia:Charlotte_von_Stein|Charlotte Albertine Ernestine von Stein]], a close friend of Goethe who inspired several of his works, or [[wikipedia:Therese_Albertine_Luise_Robinson|Therese Albertine Luise Robinson]], with whom Goethe shared many correspondences about translating Serbian folk songs.<br />
* Anja may be named after a titular character of the play [[wikipedia:de:Anja_und_Esther|''Anja und Esther'']] by writer [[wikipedia:Klaus_Mann|Klaus Mann]], whose most famous work was ''[[wikipedia:Mephisto_(novel)|Mephisto]]'', an adaptation of the legend of Faust. In the play, Anja and Esther along with two men live in a strange house, where they "indulge in melancholy thoughs, projects, and hopes". When a male dancer arrives at the home, Esther falls in love and leaves with him, while Anja stays behind and "remains 'trapped and safe in the place of the old'." Anja and Esther's intimate, homoerotic relationship before Esther leaves caused a sensation when the play was first released.<br />
* Albertine's minion Anja has a crown on it's head whilst the name Anja comes from German origin meaning 'grace' which may fit its royal imagery.<br />
**The name Albertine is also of German origin. Meaning 'bright' or 'noble' it is an ironic name for the witch. As she is someone who feeds off despair instead of being someone noble<br />
* After [[Walpurgisnacht]], she is the second witch featured in an anime whose name was not introduced in runes at her debut<br />
* Her crayons read "Anja" ({{Runes|ANJA}}) and "wachsmalstift" ({{Runes|WACHSMALSTIFT}}). Wachsmalstift is German for crayon<br />
<br />
==Trivia==<br />
*In BD commentary for [[Episode 5]], it was explained that Anja was voiced by Aoi Yuuki (Madoka)<br />

<br />
{{nihongo|'''Puella Magi Oriko Magica'''|魔法少女おりこ☆マギカ|Mahō Shōjo Oriko Magika}} is the second spin-off [[manga]] in the ''Puella Magi'' franchise. The story was written by Magica Quartet and illustrated by [[Kuroe Mura]], with the two collected volumes published by ''[[wikipedia:Houbunsha|Houbunsha]]''. Volume 1 collects chapters 1 - 3 and volume 2 collects 4 - 7.<br />
<br />
Oriko Magica has since received several more installments, which are published in ''[[Manga Time Kirara Magica]]''. See the following pages for more details:<br />

<br />
==Blurb==<br />
;Volume 1<br />
:Oriko, a magical girl with the gift of foresight, knows the fate that awaits all who accept Kyubey’s offer of supernatural powers. But when she is struck with a terrible vision of the future—of the devastation caused by a single, powerful witch—she decides to prevent the girl from becoming a magical girl in the first place. To draw Kyubey away from the girl’s potential, Oriko directs him instead to Yuma, an orphan who is all too eager to gain powers that will enable her to protect herself—powers that will ultimately lead to her own destruction...<br />
<br />
;Volume 2<br />
:Oriko is determined to use any means available to her in order to prevent the destruction she has glimpsed in the future. Her companion, Kirika, has been useful in creating a distraction by murdering other Magical Girls, but Oriko recognizes that the time for diversionary tactics has passed—she must target the source directly and eliminate the threat. Little does she realize that her quarry has a protector who is as passionate about keeping the girl alive as Oriko is about seeing her dead. What future ultimately awaits in the eye-opening conclusion of ''Oriko Magica''?!<br />
<br />
==Plot==<br />
''Oriko Magica'' is a story taking place in one of the many timelines that occurs between timelines four and five of the ''Madoka Magica'' anime.<br />
<br />
Upon her birth as a magical girl, [[Oriko Mikuni]] sees a terrifying vision of the future of [[Mitakihara City]], where the ultra-powerful witch [[Kriemhild Gretchen]] threatens to destroy the world. Horrified, Oriko vows to stop it and protect her world at any cost. She teams up with another magical girl, [[Kirika Kure]], to do so; and upon seeing another vision of a young girl named [[Yuma Chitose]], directs Kyubey towards contracting with her as a distraction. Meanwhile, [[Kyoko Sakura]] encounters Yuma after killing the witch that murdered her family, and reluctantly takes Yuma under her wing; and [[Mami Tomoe]] investigates a mysterious case of magical girl killings that been recently occurring.<br />

==Trivia==<br />
* Although the first collected volume was initially intended to be released on April 12, 2011, the [[Wikipedia:2011_Tōhoku_earthquake_and_tsunami|2011 Tōhoku earthquake and tsunami]], as well as the subsequent postponement of the last two episodes of the anime caused ''Oriko Magica'' to be postponed to May 12, 2011. The second volume was then released on June 13, 2011.<br />

==Interview with Akiyuki Shinbo and Gen Urobuchi==<br />
<br />
* Director - [[Shinbo Akiyuki]]<br />
* Screenplay - [[Gen Urobuchi]]<br />
<br />
===From Initial Sketches to the World of Rebellion===<br />
<br />
— Have you seen the special TV preview commercial of [[The Rebellion Story]] yet?<br />
<br />
Gen: Yes. I saw it while watching an episode of [[wikipedia:Monogatari (series)|Monogatari Season Two]]. My first thought was how much it reminds me of Takeshi Kitano's [[wikipedia:Sonatine|Sonatine]] (laughter). A few scenes took me by surprise, very interesting.<br />
<br />
— I heard that the preview was based on sketches from [[Inu Curry]]?<br />
<br />
Shinbo: I took some of Inu Curry's first initial sketches for the movie and used that to storyboard the movie preview. After a little work, it had the major plot points for The Rebellion Story.<br />
<br />
Gen: Inu Curry took on much more responsibility this time around.<br />
<br />
Shinbo: Compared to the first two movies, even more of Witch-related stuff, the battles and barriers and such, have been handed off to Inu Curry to unleash their creativity.<br />
<br />
— How did you feel after you finished the storyboard.<br />
<br />
Gen: I have great trust in everyone over at [[SHAFT]], so I'm at ease. After the screenplay was done, I entrusted the rest of it to Production. I'm very confident that they'll make this into something incredible, no matter what it takes. That's why… don't be surprised if it is incredible. You might not ever see a storyboard like that again. These magical girls, how it turn out like this! And etc (laughs). I have to shut up now.<br />
<br />
— Don't do that, people really care about this…<br />
<br />
Gen: I really can't say anymore (laugh). All-in-all, a very packed storyboard.<br />
<br />
— Previously storyboard for Episode 10, [[Shinsaku Sasaki]] is also making the storyboard for the Rebellion movie. Shinbo, what are your thoughts over the changes between the TV series and the new movie?<br />
<br />
Shinbo: I thought, the 5 magical girls, each went through a lot of character growth in [[Madoka Magica]]. When looking at the character designs for the new movie, I couldn't shake the "This magical girl's fine," "that magical girl can't be helped" types of feeling. It made me very curious of how well it'll go over with the fans.<br />
<br />
Gen: All five magical girls were carefully nurtured by the production staff and the fanbase into compelling characters of their own. While looking through the storyboard, I heard how eager the art and voice staff took on the challenge, that makes me very happy.<br />
<br />
[[File:NewType 2013-09 01.jpg|thumb|300px]]<br />
<br />
===Expect a New Perspective Towards Madoka Magica===<br />
<br />
— When did you begin writing the Rebellion screenplay?<br />
<br />
Gen: Design meetings began during the initial broadcast… So it was a long time. Back when we were still discussing whether to make a TV or movie sequel, we were already making regular meeting appointments.<br />
<br />
Shinbo: Seeing the fan reactions online back then was a shock to everyone involved.<br />
<br />
— Working since the TV broadcast, this screenplay took quite a while to come together?<br />
<br />
Gen: Because I wrote the original without a sequel-hook in mind, writing the new movie's screenplay had been a difficult process. For a while I was clueless, didn't know whether to start. Midst my troubles Director Shinbo gave me a pointer and it finally dawned on me. That's how I finished the initial draft.<br />
<br />
— What did he suggest?<br />
<br />
Gen: I can't tell you. That would be a spoiler (laughs).<br />
<br />
— Then, how long was the complete screenplay?<br />
<br />
Gen: I was still trying to compose for a second season back then. Despite that, it was still short. Probably enough for two hours or so.<br />
<br />
Shinbo: The screenplay itself was only about an hour and a half in length. It gained another 30 minutes during initial sketching. Rather than a movie, the process is much closer to that of the original Madoka Magica and the compilation movies.<br />
<br />
— So Rebellion really follows from the original Madoka Magica. That's why people should definitely watch the full TV series or the compilation movies, before they watch The Rebellion Story?<br />
<br />
Gen: Yes, Rebellion is basically what happened after the 12-episode TV series or the compilation movies.<br />
<br />
Shinbo: It was the difficulty of marathoning the full 12 episodes that led us to make the compilation movies. Of course, having seen the TV or movie edition will be better, but even people fresh to the franchise might find Rebellion interesting. Those that experienced Madoka with Rebellion first will probably come out with a very different impression about the franchise. If they catch the TV series or the compilation movies afterwards, they're in for another shock as well. I think Rebellion will really bring a different perspective about Madoka Magica.<br />
<br />
Gen: That's right. So don't fuss over what to watch first, having multiple ways of interpreting Madoka is a good thing.<br />
<br />
===How Far Along is Rebellion?===<br />
<br />
— So, has the production process been smooth… so far?<br />
<br />
Shinbo: Of course. We'll be moving Director [[Yukihiro Miyamoto]]'s desk over to SHAFT's Color and Photography department soon. Meetings over color composition will happen there, key animation check as well.<br />
<br />
Q: Will any new magical girls be debuting?<br />
<br />
Shinbo: … (silent)<br />
<br />
Gen: It is typical “Silent Shinbo” to not say anything to the magazine. Even if I were to debut a 6th Magical Girl I would try out many ideas because it would be very difficult. I’m sure that the situation would change because of the 6th Magical Girl.<br />
<br />
— That's definitely true. Finally, I want to ask a question on everyone's mind, will Rebellion be the end of the story for the five magical girls?<br />
<br />
Shinbo: Madoka isn't a story where everyone comes out with the same feelings. I think different people will draw different conclusions about the ending. How they accept it will be up to the viewers themselves. We're still working very hard in production, so please look forward to the October premiere.<br />

==Speculation==<br />
{{Theory/Header|status=unknown}}<br />
* Mami features heavily in the concept movie, possibly hinting towards her reprising Madoka's protagonist role in the new project.<br />
* Fan speculation about the plot goes as follows: Homura lied to Kyubey at the end of Rebellion as she didn't actually create a new universe - she simply used the stolen part of the Law of the Cycles to expand her witch barrier to encompass the entire universe. However, this seemingly requires an insane amount of energy to maintain and once the maze collapses, Madoka will return to being a cosmological principle, and Homura's efforts will be for naught. Knowing this, Homura aims to trick Mami into becoming the goddess of justice, effectively replacing Madoka's soul with Mami's so that the former could remain in the world once the devil loses her grip on the universe.<br />
* The live and dead cats talked about in the dialogue may be referring to Kyubey.<br />
* The magical girls shown in the trailer may be magical girl forms of witches already seen in the anime and other media.<br />
* Based on dialogue, Hitomi could play a bigger role in the movie. She could already be a magical girl or become one.<br />

==Trivia==<br />
[[File:PN GICIN 115 Gretchen draft.jpg|thumb|[[Production Note]], Image Note, page 115]]<br />
<br />
* Studio SHAFT often begin an anime production with a single "[http://genga.booru.org/index.php?page=post&s=list&tags=imageboard image board]" to capture the mood and atmosphere of an anime. Kubota describes this concept movie as an "extravagant" animated image board for the future ''Madoka Magica'' project.<br />
* All original magical girls will appear in the project. Nagisa and Hitomi will also have important roles. Mami is also singled out as important as Mitsutoshi Kubota states and the movie will apparently strengthen the image of Mami as a "God of Battle,"<br />
* Madoka's ballet solo was based on "[[wikipedia:The Dying Swan|The Dying Swan]]," originally choreographed by Mikhail Fokine in 1905.<br />
* Kubota compares Mami's role to [[wikipedia:Guan Yu|Guan Yu]] from [[wikipedia:The Romance of Three Kingdoms|The Romance of Three Kingdoms]].<br />
* The Witch of Despair was a planned form of [[Kriemhild Gretchen]] in the original TV series.<br />
* Designs for the [[Wraith]]s seen in the trailer seem to come from [[Puella Magi Madoka Magica: Wraith Arc]] which were designed by Inu Curry.<br />

==Trivia==<br />
* Her name, Matasaburo, is a reference to a Japanese short stories named ''[https://www.aozora.gr.jp/cards/000081/files/1943_30595.html Kazeno Matasaburō]'' and ''[[wikipedia:Kaze no Matasaburo|Kaze no Matasaburō]]'' written by Kenji Miyazawa. In these stories, Matasaburō is a mysterious child who disappears about ten days after they came to a rural elementary school.<br />
** The former novel is a predecessor work of latter one and they are different in content. In the [[Magia Record Story A la Carte Valentine#Homura|event story in which she appears]], it is quoted poems from both of them. In the poem in former one, ざくろ (pomegranates, zakuro) appear, but it is replaced by other fruits, walnuts and Chinese quinces in the poem in latter one. Therefore, Zakuro, the familiars of the Witch, may be named after the poem in former novel.<br />
:: For other references to his work, see [[Kenji Miyazawa and Magia Record]].<br />
* Matasaburo and her familiars are recolored from [[Candy]].<br />

==In the Anime==<br />
* Unlike the other Rumors in the anime, the content of the underlying Rumor is almost unchanged (with only one change in wording in Japanese). <br />
* The interior decoration of the Memory Museum was changed from the game. The Museum in the anime is a building with a huge facial sculpture at the façade. There is a great wall formed by shelves at the entrance, a huge hall with a suspension bridge over many giant bookshelves, a big centrifuge or rotator-like structure, a gondola lift, many books and glass cases inside.<br />
** There are many strange humanoids in the Museum, like the Lucky Owl Water deliverers. For example, there are persons coalesced with clocks, a humanoid who looks like an experimental body in a glass case, and a man who plays a saxophone and a goat. However, when [[Iroha Tamaki|Iroha's]] group visit the museum, they don't see them, unlike the Lucky Water deliverers who they interacted with.<br />
** These were [https://twitter.com/kangidan1/status/1238849893180911616 designed by] J. A. Seazer.<br />
* It seems there is no differences between the Uwasa's barrier and the original interior decoration of the Museum, except for fog, special effects of the Uwasa with floating Japanese characters, and some objects derived from the Rumor, such as the fence. Iroha fought the Curator Uwasa in a huge hall with many giant bookshelves, and then fights another opponent in a room with the same interior. The disappearance of other objects, for example the gondola lift is unknown, as they were not described.<br />
** The sound effect of the Uwasa collapsing sounds to be different from the one of the Witches.<br />
* The design of the Curator Uwasa was significantly changed, and the Staff Uwasa do not appear in the anime.<br />
** The form of the Curator Uwasa has been changed from a printing press to a large fish-like creature. The only part that remained the same visually is the image of a face which is now reflected in the creature's eyes. <br />
** The Curator Uwasa seems to have the ability to show remorse and trauma to [[Yachiyo Nanami|the victim]] who was swallowed by it.<br />
** The whale vocalization sounds to be used for the sound effect of Uwasa's crying voice.<br />
<br />
==Trivia==<br />
* It is currently unidentified that whose face in the Curator Uwasa's design is. <!-- see Talk of this page --><br />
* The design of Curator Uwasa seems to be based on a [[wikipedia:Letterpress printing|letterpress printing machine]], probably the [https://letterpresscommons.com/press/excelsior-model-p/ platen press of the Excelsior model], developed in the 1870s and had used for a long time, or a successor or [http://excelsiorpress.org/CraftsmenPresses/ copy product]. <br />
** The Curator Uwasa in the anime is shaped like a big fish. The shape of it's body may be a reference to the [https://www.paperindex.com/academy/paper-grades/offset-paper-primer offset paper rolls] or the cylinders, used for the [[wikipedia:Rotary printing press|rotary printing press]].<br />
* The Staff Uwasa's design seems to be based on a typewriter.<br />
* The appearance of the Memory Museum in the anime, a building with a giant facial sculpture at the facade, looks similar to the [[wikipedia:Palazzo Braschi|Palazzo Braschi]] in Rome, Italy, during the elections of 1934, which was used by Benito Mussolini's Italian Fascist Party with a [https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Palazzo_Braschi_Fascist_Poster,_1934.png propagandistic billboard]. However, the face of the sculpture in the Museum of Memory is not Mussolini's one, but appears to be the same face used in the Curator Uwasa's design.<br />

==History==<br />
===Original Anime===<br />
Elsa Maria appears at the end of [[Episode 7]] where she fights [[Sayaka]]. [[Madoka]] accompanies her and [[Kyoko]] arrives to help. Elsa Maria uses an attack where a thick tree grows out of her back to stop Sayaka growing close to her. She is swiftly defeated due to Sayaka's emotional state, she hacks at her mercilessly with blood spurting out of the witch. Her [[Grief Seed]] is shown after the fight. Sayaka rejects it and gives it to Kyoko.<br />
<br />
===The Rebellion Story===<br />
While Elsa Maria doesn't make a reappearance in [[The Rebellion Story]], her familiars do. [[Nagisa]] rides on them during the fight against {{Spoiler|Homulilly}}.<br />

==Observations==<br />
*She is named after [[wikipedia:Elsa_Asenijeff|Elsa Asenijeff]], also known as Elsa Maria Packeny. After refusing many proposals, she was forced by her parents to marry a diplomat eleven years her senior; She felt at the mercy of her husband, a theme that influenced her literary works. She eventually divorced the diplomat and remarried an artist, though this marriage too suffered when her second husband took an 18-year-old girl named Gertrude Bock as a model and companion, whom he eventually married shortly before his death after he and Asenijeff also divorced. After this divorce, she lived in poverty as her second ex-husband refused to support her financially; she eventually became isolated from her friends and family and was admitted to a psychiatric clinic<br />
*Her name is possibly a reference to the song Ave Maria which [[Kyousuke Kamijou]] is known to play<br />
*She could also be a reference to Jeanne d'Arc, another magical girl (as shown in episode 12.) Jeanne said she was hearing the voices of saints, angels and God, and prayed very often<br />
*Elsa Maria may be linked to [[wikipedia:Kakure_Kirishitan|Kakure Kirishitan]] (or "Hidden Christians") which were a group of practicing Christians that existed in hiding from the mid 1600's and on. Freedom of Religion was finally granted to Japanese citizens in 1871, which may have been the result of a wish. This would explain the heavily religious nature of the witch.<br />
**This can be an accurate theory because witches can not only live forever if never killed, which in this case would be difficult because of how she can only be defeated by a magical girl "with the blackest anguish," but they can also live on as familiars that break away and grow back into witches. Not all witches are necessarily new, they can survive for a very long time and duplicate if a part is broken off. <br />
** On the other hand, Elsa Maria could be a modern Japanese Christian, possibly a descendant of the ''Kakure Kirishitan'' and/or just ''very'' influenced by their history and martyrdom (like real life writer [[wikipedia:Shusaku_Endo|Shusaku Endo]], who was Catholic). She might be from either [[wikipedia:Nagasaki|Nagasaki]] (the city with the biggest historical connection with Japanese Catholicism, and one of the places where the ''Kakure Kirishitan'' came from), [[wikipedia:Akita|Akita]] (the prefecture where the Marian apparitions known as [[wikipedia:Our_Lady_of_Akita|Our Lady of Akita]] took place) or the Madoka world's equivalent to Nagasaki and Akita.<br />
*The tree growing from Elsa Maria's back may be a reference to the Biblical tale of Adam & Eve. The familiars could be a reference to the animals in The Garden of Eden<br />
*There is possibility that Elsa Maria is praying for America to end World War II, given the Statue of Liberty-like image in her labyrinth. The dead tree look of her attacks may reference the effect of the fallout radiation from the nuclear bomb that was dropped on Japan. Her minions also are representative of the twelve zodiac, which may imply the transition after World War II from Eastern thought to the Western thought that happened after World War II<br />
<br />
==Trivia==<br />
*[[Puella_Magi_Madoka_Magica_Official_Guidebook_"You_Are_Not_Alone"#Labyrinth_design|The Guidebook]] indicates that Elsa Maria's labyrinth design is a Church, with the words ''"I wish you, although not seen from me, to be happy."'' (まだ見ないあなたが幸せであるように). It indicates when the Witch dies, the stained glass collapses and drops into the air. There's a 'baaaaaaahn' sound like from a pipe organ<br />

<br />
Walpurgis Night is a term first used by [[Homura]] in [[Episode 6]]. Due to the lack of information on its subject, and due to the overwhelming imagination of fans, a lot of information about "Walpurgis Night" had been gathered during broadcast. This article is then a compilation of historical, mythological, and literary information concerning this event. This article shouldn't contain references to the anime witch, as these points of data belong to [[Walpurgis Night|Walpurgis Night's page]].<br />

===In Episode 6===<br />
During the arcade scene, [[Homura Akemi|Homura]] mentions "Walpurgisnacht," which is the name of a northern European Spring Festival also called "The Night of the Witches."<br />
<br />
{{Translation<br />
|japanese = ほむら: 「2週間後、この街に『ワルプルギスの夜』が来る。『そいつ』さえ倒せたら、私はこの街を出てゆく。」<br />
|english = Homura: "In two weeks, 'Walpurgisnacht' is coming to this town. Once I defeat 'it,' I'll leave." <br />
}}<br />
<br />
For clarification, 「そいつ」 -- rendered here in English as 'it' -- is a pronoun that usually refers to a person, and Kyoko's response to Homura made it clear that what was being referred to could be 'defeated.' Prior to the broadcast of Episode 9, it was unclear if the pronoun used specifically referred to Walpurgisnacht, or whether the term Walpurgisnacht referred to an event or a being (a witch?).<br />
<br />
===In Episode 8===<br />
Documents regarding Walpurgisnacht on display in Homura's apartment contain imagery that strongly resembles the [[Witch from the dream in episode one|Witch from Episode 1]]. These are provided as screencaps below. For more information, please refer to [[Homura_Residence|Homura's residence page]].<br />

===In Episode 9===<br />
[[Kyoko Sakura]] confirms that "Walpurgis" is in fact "the Strongest Witch." It might be that "Walpurgisnacht" is the name given to the time of its manifestation, or simply its full name.<br/><br />
The day before episode 10 aired, it has been confirmed on the official website that it is actually a witch (see below)<br />
<br />
===In Episode 10===<br />
There is now visual, undeniable proof that Walpurgis Night is in fact [[Witch from the dream in episode one|the witch from the dream in the first episode]]. It is an extremely powerful witch neither Madoka nor Homura managed to defeat ever (well... "almost ever" if you want to be picky).<br />
*Except not. In every timeline Walpurgis Night is defeated, but it always involves the death of Madoka in doing so, either through her literally dying in the fight, or through becoming a witch afterward from depleting her magic. More of a pyrrhic victory than a victory, though. It just so happens that Walpurgis Night's defeat always ends up in there being a worst witch than it afterward or Madoka's death.<br />
*Also, Mitakihara Town has always been shown to be in complete ruins after Walpurgis's defeats, suggesting that Madoka never succeeded in fulfilling her (presumable) goal -- that is, to protect the population from Walpurgis.<br />
**It's possible the ruined city is just Walpurgis Night's barrier, a theory not refutable by saying the city is still ruined after the fight because we know barriers can keep existing for a little while after the witch is beaten.<br />
***Demonstrably false, walpurgis nacht does not have a barrier. <br />
**Actually, not just that, but so far we've been made to believe that witches can't affect the physical world beyond sucking humans into their barriers or affecting them psychologically (ie suicide, murder, etc). Walpurgis Night would then either be the first witch to bypass this by wrecking the city outright (unlikely) or the ruined city is just its barrier. If it has such a barrier, it could be guessed that Walpurgis Night is the witch of ruin, its gears representing the slow but certain progress of time ever forward toward inevitable destruction.<br />
***Kyubey mentions that [[Kriemhild Gretchen]] can "obliterate the planet within ten days," though, so it ''is'' possible that very powerful witches can cause damage on both the mental and physical levels. (Unless, of course, Kyubey was speaking in metaphor and was just referring to the total loss of life that would occur when Kriemhild gathered everything into her barrier. The world would be empty of life, but technically would still be intact!) Walpurgis's apparent ability to migrate is suspect, as well, since we've always been told that it is "coming" to the city, not that it is going to be born in it; if it can indeed move through the physical world, then it can possibly affect it directly.<br />
****Walpurgis Night wouldn't be the first witch to migrate. Sayaka's witch form changed her location after transforming, then there's Mami's whole explanation about how they have to track down witches before taking them down, and that familiar that Sayaka was fighting before Kyoko interrupted: it escaped off to somewhere else. It's possible a witch the size of Walpurgis Night can be tracked more easily so you can vaguely know it's coming without knowing when exactly. (This would reinforce Kyubey saying that it's hard to predict exactly when Walpurgis Night will arrive, meaning he at least knows it's coming as well. Then again, Kyubey being Kyubey...)<br />
*Mami mentions that the Walpurgis Night is coming in the first timeline, suggesting there might be some way of knowing when one will appear.<br />
*Walpurgis Night has no Grief Seed. Why this is the case is unknown.<br />
** It's more that one is not seen dropped when it is defeated. This suggests one of the following: It doesn't have a Grief Seed, it has a Grief Seed but never drops it after being defeated, it can drop a Grief Seed but it's always destroyed as a result of the battle, or that it did drop a Grief Seed but it was not somewhere Madoka or Homura could have easily gotten to (for example, it could have been blown several miles away, or even as far as the next town).<br />
<br />
=== In Episode 11 ===<br />
<br />
Homura confirmed that Walpurgis Night is a witch that doesn't need a barrier to appear. Its appearance itself would cause hundreds of casualties.<br />
<br />
This episode also confirms (or partially confirms) that Walpurgis Night is named after the actual 'festival' it represents, and while it doesn't have a barrier outright, around the spot where it appears can be found a festival-like gathering of familiars. Whether it is an actual gathering of witches or just themed after the historical gathering is up in the air, but some of its familiars did appear to be similar to the magical girl forms of some witches.<br />
<br />
==Literary & Historical Background==<br />
[[File:Paul Klee Walpurgis Night.jpg|200px|thumb|Paul Klee's "Walpurgisnacht"]]<br />
===Walpurgis Night in Real Life===<br />
'''Walpurgis Night''' (Walpurgisnacht) is a traditional spring festival on 30 April or 1 May in large parts of Central and Northern Europe. Its celebration is associated with dancing and bonfires.<br />
<br />
The current festival is, in most countries that celebrate it, named after [[wikipedia:Saint Walburga|Saint Walburga]] (ca. 710-777/9). As Walburga was canonized on 1 May (ca. 870), she became associated with May Day, especially in the Finnish and Swedish calendars. The eve of May Day, traditionally celebrated with dancing, came to be known as Walpurgisnacht ("Walpurga's night"). The German term is recorded in the 17th century, e.g. by Johannes Praetorius (1668), as S. Walpurgis Nacht or S. Walpurgis Abend. In earlier references, the first of May is more typically referred to as Jacobi Philippi (after James the Less and Philip, the apostles whose feast day falls on 1 May), e.g. in the Calendarium Perpetuum by Johannes Coler. The 17th century German belief that a meeting of sorcerers and witches is held on May Day is influenced by the descriptions of Witches' Sabbaths in 15th and 16th century literature.<br />
<br />
===In Goethe's Faust===<br />
<!--TODO:Maybe a native English speaker could reword that in a better way --><br />
<br />
====Walpurgisnacht====<br />
[[wikipedia:Johann Wolfgang von Goethe|Goethe]]'s [[wikipedia:Faust,_Part_1|Faust Part I]] contains a scene called "Walpurgisnachtstraum" (the name in brackets is the equivalent character in the anime):<br />
<br />
Mephistopheles [Kyubey] notices that Faust's [Homura] relation to him is getting lose because of Faust´s love to Gretchen [Madoka] (a woman Faust made pregnant). He tries to get him motivated again by promising him a fantastic event on the Hexenberg (witch´s mountain). Meanwhile, Gretchen snaps and kills her baby. The event promised by Mephisto is the following: <br />
<br />
One the night between April 30 and May 1, the witches meet the devil on the mountain. Faust decides to climb the mountain too, because he thinks he'd be able to solve some riddles there, but Mephisto made him dance with a witch instead. The dance comes to an end when a red mouse falls from the mouth of the witch, and a pretty child appears with a red cord around her neck. This reminds Faust of Gretchen, who has been condemned to death for drowning her child.<br />
<br />
To distract Faust from his feeling of culpability, Mephistopheles then brings him to a hill where a play should be shown.<br />
<br />
====Classical Walpurgisnacht====<br />
In Act II of [[wikipedia:Faust,_Part_2|Faust Part II]], Mephistopheles transports the unconscious Faust into his old study. Mephistopheles, donning Faust's robe once again, resumes his conversation with the freshman, who is now a cynical baccalaurus. An artificial human made by Faust's former famulus, Wagner, by means of an alchemical process, the Homunculus, leads Faust and Mephistopheles to the "Classical Walpurgisnacht", where they encounter gods and monsters from Greek antiquity. Faust, still searching for Helen, is led by the sybil Manto into the Underworld. Mephistopheles, meanwhile, meets the Phorkyads, the hideous three-headed daughters of Night, into whose shape he transforms himself. Guided by the sea-god Proteus, the Homunculus is initiated into the process of becoming fully human.<br />
<br />
===Paul Klee's painting===<br />
The German artist [[Wikipedia:Paul Klee|Paul Klee]] made in 1935 a painting called "Walpurgisnacht". As stated in [[Episode_8#Observations|the page for Episode 8]], many fans found that this painting bears similarities with Sayaka's transformation sequence. Whether this is intentional or not is still unknown.<br />

== Summary ==<br />
[[File:Ep10 timeline chart.jpg|thumb]]<br />
:''See also [[Timeline]]''<br />
This episode centers around [[Homura]]. Most of the mystery behind her origin and behavior in previous episodes is explained.<br />
<br />
=== Timeline 1 ===<br />
In the original timeline for Homura, she was a normal human girl suffering from a heart disease. She is shown just released from the hospital and transferring to the [[Mitakihara Middle School]], similar to the [[Episode 1|first episode]]. She differs in appearance to the Homura we know, though - she wears glasses and wears her long hair tied in two braids. Her personality also feels different - she is a lot more shy and clumsy.<br />
<br />
[[Madoka]], [[Sayaka]] and other new classmates try to befriend Homura, which makes her feel uneasy. During a talk with Madoka, she admits finding herself worthless, not unlike Madoka does in the timeline of other episodes. Homura's problems during math and sports classes (probably related to being out of school for a long time) contribute to her depression, which makes her get suicidal thoughts on the way from school.<br />
<br />
Presumably because of these thoughts, she wanders into the barrier of witch [[Izabel]]. She is quickly saved by [[Puella Magi]] Madoka and [[Mami]], with Madoka asking her to keep their jobs a secret from schoolmates. Later, during a visit at Mami's apartment, Madoka reveals that she's been contracted only for a very short time. Homura feels fascinated about her magical friends, similar to how Madoka acts in initial episodes.<br />
<br />
Some time later, Madoka and Mami fight [[Walpurgis Night]] together, with Homura following them as a human. Mami is defeated quickly, then Madoka apparently manages to defeat the witch, but at the expense of her own life. Homura cries over Madoka's dead body, and accepts [[Kyubey]]'s proposal to become a Puella Magi, her wish being ''"I wish… I wish I can meet Miss Kaname all over again. But this time, instead of her protecting me, I wanna be strong enough to protect her!"'' The contract is formed, with Kyubey commenting that the wish has "overcome entropy".<br />
<br />
=== Timeline 2 ===<br />
[[File:Homura shield power use.gif|right]]<br />
Homura wakes up in a hospital, on the date she was released in the previous iteration, having a [[Soul Gem]] in her hand. After transferring to school, she instantly tells Madoka about becoming a Puella Magi, hoping for good cooperation.<br />
<br />
Madoka and Mami train Homura the Puella Magi, who turns out to be extremely clumsy, despite having the very powerful ability of stopping time. Meanwhile, Homura reads online guides about making explosives, contributing to improving her skills. While still clumsy, she plays the most important role when the trio - now good friends - fights with the witch [[Patricia]].<br />
<br />
The next scene shown is after the Walpurgis Night - after defeating the witch, Madoka's Soul Gem turns into a [[Grief Seed]] and she becomes a witch.<br />
<br />
=== Timeline 3 ===<br />
The time goes back again, and Homura wakes up at the exact same place and time as previously. Scared and angered by the discovery of the true nature of the contract with Kyubey, she decides to tell the other girls immediately. Sayaka, who in this timeline became a Puella Magi, too, doesn't believe her and accuses her of collaborating with [[Kyoko]], whom apparently only Homura has met.<br />
<br />
Sayaka also tells that she feels afraid of Homura's explosives, which makes Homura go to a meeting of some armed formation (the building is labeled {{nihongo|"Shaft Industries"|射太興業|Shafuto Kōgyō}}) and steal some firearms, all on frozen time. Since Sayaka turns into a [[Oktavia von Seckendorff|witch]], presumably for similar reasons as in [[Episode 8]], Homura uses the firearms during the fight with her to protect Madoka, and also defeats her, even though Madoka and Kyoko try to make Sayaka human again in a fashion similar to [[Episode 9]].<br />
<br />
Upon seeing the true nature of Puella Magi herself, Mami breaks down and attempts to kill all the magical girls, including herself, in order to prevent their eventual transformation into witches. She kills Kyoko first by shooting her Soul Gem and attempts to kill Homura by binding her, but before she can do so, Madoka uses her beam arrows to kill her. The remaining two fight on the Walpurgis Night together, and defeat the witch, having their Soul Gems fatally tainted, though. Madoka heals Homura with a Grief Seed she was hiding, and asks Homura to prevent her from becoming a Puella Magi next time she goes back in time. Homura agrees, and grants Madoka one more wish of hers - killing her to prevent her from becoming a witch.<br />
<br />
=== Timeline 4 ===<br />
Upon waking up in the familiar hospital, Homura changes her appearance by magically healing her eyes, wearing the hair down and taming her emotions - just how she looked in all the previous episodes. At night, she warns Madoka not to accept miracles, confusing her. Then she goes hunting all the witches.<br />
<br />
On Walpurgis Night, the dream sequence from [[Episode 1]] is shown again. Homura watches Kyubey persuading Madoka and screams to prevent her from forming the contract, but Madoka doesn't seem to hear her.<br />
<br />
Off-camera, Madoka forms the contract and defeats the witch with just one shot, but becomes a witch ([[Kriemhild Gretchen]]) herself shortly after. Kyubey comments that she will destroy the whole Earth in only ten days. He has collected an enormous amount of energy from her already, though, so he doesn't care about it anymore.<br />
<br />
Homura refuses to fight Madoka the witch, saying that "TMy fight is somewhere else," which makes Kyubey realize that she's from a different timeline.<br />
<br />
=== Additional Timelines ===<br />
Homura insists on repeating that particular period of time (between her awakening in the hospital and the Walpurgis Night), no matter how many times it takes, until she saves Madoka. She kills Kyubey, but he respawns in a new body, which she chases. However, he is saved by Madoka in an encounter similar to [[Episode 1]]. Most likely, these events are taking place in one of many timelines that fall between Timeline 4 and the timeline shown in Episodes 1 through 9.<br />
<br />
Homura's monologue reveals that she is devoted to saving Madoka no matter how many times she'll have to retry.<br />
<br />
*At a [[Nitro+ Q&A Panels at Animagic 2013|Nitro+ Q&A Panel]] it was revealed that Homura went through almost 100 timelines. <i><b>Q:</b> How many timelines did Homura go through? <b>A:</b> Approaching 100.</i><br />
**Assuming Homura repeated a full 30-day month nearly 100 times, it can be calculated that she has been reliving the same month for nearly 8.2 years.<br />

<blockquote>''"I have got an idea. How about we both become witches, and we can tear up this rotten world together? Until there’s no more evil, no more sadness, until there’s nothing left. We’ll break and smash and pound it into dust."'' ~ Homura saying her farewell to Madoka.</blockquote><br />

<br />
=== About the timelines and time travel ===<br />
[[File:Time traveling homura.gif|right|200px]]<br />
* Homura's Past Timeline Experiences:<br />
**While powerful, Mami can become mentally and emotionally unstable. If she learns the truth, she's likely to break down from the pressure and kill everyone, as seen in Timeline 3 (she is unreliable as an ally). That's why Homura is cold and distant to her in the other timelines. However, in [[Oriko Magica]], after a pep talk with [[Yuma]], Mami accepts her fate as a Puella Magi.<br />
***It is later revealed that actually Homura wanted to be in good terms with Mami in the current timeline, but Kyubey made her plans backfire. Homura was cold to Mami in [[Oriko Magica]] because she believed that Mami was the cause why Madoka always contracts.<br />
**Sayaka refuses to believe or listen to Homura's advice. She will also be prone to making the same mistakes and become a witch (her fate is inevitable no matter what). That's why Homura is cold to her and decides to kill her in the present Timeline, to stop her from becoming a witch, but she was stopped by Kyoko.<br />
**From past experience, Homura believes Kyoko may be the only ally left to help her in stopping Walpurgis Night. However, she did not anticipate her actions that lead to her death since this didn't happen in previous timelines. That's why she was surprised by her death in the fifth Timeline.<br />
**Leaving Madoka alone or keeping her distance from her will not stop her from making her wish. Nor can Homura stop Walpurgis Night on her own.<br />
**The only constant in previous timelines is that Madoka is the only one with a pure soul, she was the only one who called her a friend and trusted her with her life.<br />
*Every time Homura tries to change the past, she seems to make it worse:<br />
**'''Original timeline''': Mami and Madoka die like heroines and they are the only known casualties, Earth is saved (and there are no more threats to the planet). The truth is never revealed.<br />
***In this version Madoka dies without regrets in her heart, she remains pure and innocent in the end thus avoids the fate of becoming a witch.<br />
**'''Second timeline''': Mami dies as a heroine, but Madoka becomes a normal Witch.<br />
**'''Third timeline''': Sayaka becomes a witch and is killed by Homura. Mami kills Kyoko and tries to kill the others to prevent them becoming witches, but is killed by Madoka. Madoka still dies, but not before she saves Homura from becoming a witch and Homura mercy kills her before she can become one herself.<br />
**'''Fourth timeline''': Madoka becomes a powerful Witch that will destroy the Earth, everyone dies.<br />
**'''Fifth timeline''': Mami dies before learning the truth, Sayaka still becomes a witch and dies with Kyoko.<br />
* In timeline 5, Homura kills Kyubey once at the beginning and fails to do it again until episode 8. That's why Kyubey mentions that she already killed him twice and he realizes that Homura can use Time-Control magic.<br />
<br />
=== Continuity to previous episodes ===<br />
* There was initially a disagreement whether the dream sequence from [[Episode 1]] is the event shown in Timeline 4. Evidence against this was the different shape of [[Walpurgis Night]] witch in the two sequences, and different coloring of the scene. However the Blu-ray release of [[Episode 1]] features an updated version of the prologue scene, now looking exactly the same as in Episode 10. It is thus safe to assume that the prologue actually did happen during Timeline 4.<br />
*Walpurgis Night of Timeline 1 is slightly different from the ones in Episode 1's original version, Timeline 4 and Episodes 11-12.<br />
*While Timeline 5 looks very similar to a scene from Episode 1 (contributing to an interpretation that it is the timeline of all previous episodes), there are small diferences:<br />
**There is a short conversation between Homura and Madoka in Episode 1, but in Episode 10, Madoka only says "Ms. Akemi". In episode 1, when Madoka encounters Homura in the closed section of the mall, Sayaka surprises Homura with a fire extinguisher; in episode 10, Sayaka isn't shown making an entrance.<br />
**Additionally, in Episode 1 Homura is seen with one of her legs propped on a bag and is never seen taking a step back.<br />
*Homura comments in [[Episode 4]] that she has witnessed "countless" magical girls die. In Episode 10, we see her witness (or cause herself) at most 9 deaths (the exact number depends on whether to count becoming a witch as dying, or whether to count killing the witch form). Even though some events may have happened off-camera, it is still too low number to consider it "too many to count". This suggests that there were indeed more loops than seen in the episode.<br />
<br />
=== Miscellaneous ===<br />
[[File:Ep10-calendar.jpg|thumb|What led to the conclusion that the anime took place in March 2011]]<br />
* The calendar in Homura's room shows that she's getting discharged from the hospital on the 16th and returns to school on the 25th. From the format of the calendar, the 25th is apparently a Friday. The only month in 2011 that has 31 days and the 25th falling on a Friday is March. This means that the anime is set during the same time the final episode was supposed to air.<br />
** More information about the subject [[Timeline|here]].<br />
**There are a few problems with this theory. First, there is no indication that this occurs in 2011. The same pattern of days can fall in a month for a different year. Furthermore, the technology shown in the classroom is more advanced than in 2011 Japan. Shinbo in an interview also describes it as [[NewType_2010-12|"in the near future, or a distant future."]] Second, Japan's school year starts in April, possibly as early as the 1st though typically on April 5th, not late March. The green foliage [[:Media:Ep 10 Cherry Blossoms blow in.jpg|and cherry blossoms]], makes it clear it's the spring term and thus the [[:Media:Ep10-calendar-BD.jpg|31 day month]] would be March or May. Furthermore, Homura is not transferring in on the first day. Based on Madoka's conversation in episode 1 with her mother about her [[:Media:Ep_1_Conversation_Mid_Spring_Term.jpg|teacher and Hitomi]], makes it sound like it is already well into the spring term. Third, physical evidence, such as Madoka's father harvesting [[:Media:Ep 1 Plant Growth.jpg|full-grown]] [[:Media:Ep 1 Harvesting Tomatoes.jpg|cherry tomatoes]] in ep. 1. With Japan's climate, tomato plants would be harvested in end of May, not March, in an outdoor garden. Thus, the events most likely occur starting in May in some future year.<br />
*Homura's only way to get guns and weapons is by stealing them, it is assumed that she must have stolen them from a group of criminals.<br />
**This is not true as she's also seen stealing from the military.<br />
*Although it is shown that Homura can time travel, the limitations are not clear. She is always shown returning to the hospital only after something happens to Madoka, whether it be her dying or becoming a witch. This does not indicate whether or not Homura can continue after Madoka dies or if she can start over in the middle of one timeline.<br />
**In addition, it is unclear whether Homura retains all of her physical improvements between timelines. We see obvious contrasts between episode 1 and 10 where Homura is certainly stronger in timeline 5. However, this could be due to Homura retraining her weak body every time she starts again in the hospital and not be a result of accumulated strength.<br />
***As she was able to use magic to heal her eyes, it is quite possible she did the same with her body.<br />
*In Timeline 3, the Grief Seed Madoka uses to heal Homura may be Sayaka's Grief Seed. She might have obtained it after defeating Oktavia at the station. Madoka might have kept the Grief Seed until the end to remember Sayaka.<br />
** The Grief Seed from Episode 10 looks different from that of Episode 8. However, this can be explained if the Grief Seed from Episode 8 is an immature form. Both Sayaka and Madoka's Grief Seed does not show dark parts as other Witches' Grief Seeds (except Charlotte's Seed which was partially dark since Charlotte had revived recently).<br />
*Homura's shield can bend space and time; it is also useful for storing her arsenal of weapons. It is also a symbol of her will to protect Madoka.<br />
**Inside Homura's shield there are mechanisms like gears, springs, and a escapement wheel; these are parts typically found in mechanical clocks.<br />
**Every time Homura uses her power her shield produces a small drop of red material. Its composition and function are unknown but it may have something to do with Homura's ability to surpass entropy to stop or travel back in time.<br />
**It is suspected that the red material is actually sand from her timer and it contains one month worth of time, once the sand runs out she cannot use her time stopping powers. To refill the timer Homura must reset her timer like an hourglass and travel back to one month to the period when she was back at the hospital.<br />
* This time, the only change spotted in the opening animation was the addition of Homura and Kyoko to the group shot. The opening animation has also been used as the ending sequence. (this episode has no proper opening)<br />
* The building from which Homura steals weapons in Timeline 3 has a banner reading 「射太興業」. 興業 means "industrial enterprise", and 射太 can be read as "Shafuto", the Japanese pronounciation of "[[wikipedia:Shaft (company)|Shaft]]".<br />
*According to a Chinese fan who blogged [http://tieba.baidu.com/f?kz=1066640642] about meeting Ume Aoki [http://green-oval.net/cgi-board.pl/a/thread/48920706#p48925799], Episode 10 was Ume Aoki's favorite episode, that she cried over many times watching it.<br />
* Homura finds a manual on how to make bombs from the internet. According to [[wikipedia:Hara_Hara_Tokei#References_in_popular_culture|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]].<br />
**Incidentally, the manual explains with illustrations that ''“Anyone with a middle-school level knowledge of chemistry can do it”''.<br />
<br />
== Speculation ==<br />
<br />
===About Walpurgis Night and magic in general===<br />
{{Theory/Header|status=confirmed}}<br />
* According to Kyubey, Madoka as a Witch has the power to destroy the world but it is of no concern to him as long as they meet their quota.<br />
**It is speculated that because of the nature of Madoka's wish in Timeline 4, that wish gave her the power to not only destroy the Witch during Walpurgis Night with just one shot but that same power will destroy the world once she becomes a Witch herself. For that to happen Madoka will have to make the same wish on Walpurgis Night in Timeline 5.<br />
*Walpurgis Night could be the witch of a magical girl who defeated the previous most powerful witch. As QB mentioned in Episode 10, the only choice left for a magic girl after defeating the most powerful witch "is to become a (even more powerful) witch herself".<br />
{{Theory/Footer}}<br />
<br />
{{Theory/Header|status=unknown}}<br />
*Since Walpurgis Night didn't drop a Grief Seed in Timeline 3, it is possible that Walpurgis Night could be a familar of an even more powerful witch. However, this would conflict with QB's statement of Walpurgis Night being the most powerful witch.<br />
** It's also possible that because of the size of Walpurgis Night, the grief seed wouldn't be found and would get lost anyway.<br />
{{Theory/Footer}}<br />
<br />
{{Theory/Header|status=debunked}}<br />
*It was speculated that given the nature of Walpurgis Night and the presence of gears, along with the "falling" figure of the witch, Walpurgis Night could be the witch form of Homura. However, since [[Puella Magi Madoka Magica Portable]]'s release, it has been confirmed that Walpurgis is not Homura's witch form. Homura's official witch is named [[Homulilly]].<br />
*It was also speculated that Walpurgis Night could be Homura's witch form from the future.<br />
{{Theory/Footer}}<br />
<br />
===About the timelines and time travel===<br />
{{Theory/Header|status=confirmed}}<br />
* Madoka may be getting stronger on each timeline for unknown reasons.<br />
** '''Timeline 1''': Madoka triumphs on Walpurgis night, possibly only after Mami has already weakened the witch. Madoka somehow dies from her wounds from the battle. This seems to be the weakest of all the Madokas.<br />
** '''Timeline 2''': Madoka is victorious on Walpurgis night and does not die from her battle injuries. However, she immediately transforms into a witch afterwards. We do not know if Madoka as a witch is especially strong or not.<br />
***This one can be misleading, we must not forget that in this timeline she has the assistance of Homura and possibly Mami, which is why Madoka didnt die.<br />
** '''Timeline 3''': Madoka wins with only the assistance of Homura. They would be capable of surviving if it were not for the blackening of their Soul Gems. Madoka clings to her humanity longer compared to her last incarnation.<br />
***Why Madoka lasted longer could be a result of her unwillingness to transform as she is now aware of what will happen next. The previous Madoka version was probably scared and confused as to what was happening to her so it is possible she didn't fight back the transformation. Also, she may have more energy left because of Homura's increased power and experience.<br />
** '''Timeline 4''': Madoka is able to stop Walpurgis night in just one hit. Obviously stronger compared to the timeline 1 version. Kyubbey mentions how strong Madoka had become, surpassing his expectations. Her witch form has the power to destroy the whole planet.<br />
***It is stated previously that the strength and power of a Puella Magi is reflected by the nature of their wish, since Madoka witnessed the power of the witch in Walpurgis Night, she could have wished for the power to defeat her thus receiving equal or greater power than the witch.<br />
****Because Madoka has always stated how Puella Magi should protect everyone, it is possible her wish was simply to protect everyone and thus the corresponding witch curse would be to kill everyone.<br />
** '''Timeline 5''': Kyubey mentions that Madoka could become a god or godlike if she wished, although this may simply be him egging her on to become a magical girl.<br />
** This is confirmed by Kyubey later on.<br />
{{Theory/Footer}}<br />
<br />
{{Theory/Header|status=debunked}}<br />
*It was speculated in [[Episode 9]] that if Kyubey's people have the technology to travel back in time, they could fix the entropy problem by reversing it. <br />
**However, in Episode 10, we learn that Kyubey can only grant the ability to travel back in time. He is only part of the process to create it, so they do not posses the ability itself. The power of time travel rests only within Homura because of her wish.<br />
{{Theory/Footer}}<br />
<br />
{{Theory/Header|status=unknown}}<br />
* It seems like in every timeline the last ones left to fight Walpurgis Night are Homura and Madoka.<br />
**It is assumed that Mami, Kyoko, and Sayaka always die in every timeline.<br />
***However, some evidence suggests that Kyoko's and Sayaka's absence on Walpurgis Night in the other timelines could be explained by Kyoko never arriving in town (or joining forces) or Sayaka never making her wish.<br />
****Under this assumption we are lead to believe that Mami dies in every timeline.<br />
* It is possible that an imprint or a residue of past timelines are still within Madoka's memory. One example is the dream that Madoka had in Episode 1 and that strange image static in Episode 8.<br />
*Homura's reason to go back in time seems to change in each timeline, even though it's possible that only her methods of trying to save Madoka change and her final goal is still the same:<br />
**'''Original Timeline''': Goes back to help Madoka and stop her from dying.<br />
**'''Timeline 2''': Homura witnesses the truth and sees Madoka die and become a witch. Homura decides to go back and warn the other girls about the truth.<br />
**'''Timeline 3''': Homura seems to resign to her fate, she wants to die alongside with Madoka and become witches together, she does not mind if they bring more destruction. However, Madoka saves her life and asks her to stop her from making the stupid mistake of becoming a Puella Magi/Witch, she also tells her that there are still good things left in the world so she refuses to become a Witch and bring more destruction.<br />
**'''Timeline 4''': Homura realizes that Madoka has the power to destroy the world if left alone. Her mission is to fulfill Madoka's previous request and stop her from becoming a Puella Magi/Witch that will lead to the destruction of the Earth (something that Madoka refused to become part of in Timeline 3).<br />
** While there is no hard proof going against that theory, note that Homura never said anything about changing her whereabouts.<br />

=== Miscellaneous ===<br />
{{Theory/Header|status=confirmed}}<br />
*Fans have complained that they think Madoka is a weak character and doesn't have a lot of character development, regardless of their criticism, arguably one of the reasons can be Homura. Homura's mission to stop Madoka from becoming a Mahou Shoujo has also halted some of her character development. In each separate timeline we see a different side of Madoka: she can be strong, resilient, and self-sacrificing when she is a Mahou Shoujo. The character trait that remains constant in every timeline compared to the current one is her kindness and trust, in which she's willing to do what she can to help those in need.<br />
**The [[Drama CD 1|first Drama CD]] supports this observation.<br />
{{Theory/Footer}}<br />
<br />
{{Theory/Header|status=unknown}}<br />
*It is possible that the reason Kyubey made Homura a Puella Magi in timeline 1 was to meet his energy quota. The Madoka version of that timeline died before she could become a witch.<br />
*The new version of Episode 10 that was broadcast at Nico Nico shows a tree in Timeline 4. Some speculate that this tree could somehow be related to the [[wikipedia:Yggdrasil|Yggdrasil Tree]] (world tree) of Norse Mythology.<br />
<br />
=== Homura's Wish ===<br />
Observers have tried to interpret the reasoning behind Homura's wish. At first glance it seems that it would had been easier to just wish Madoka back to life. Instead, Homura decides the harder route to change her meeting with Madoka, try to save her life, and then stop Walpurgis Night from destroying the city. Dismissing the fact that Kyubey had stated that bringing the dead back is "impossible", as Homura was not aware of this fact, her wish seems unusual unless you try analyze her reasoning, or the author's intentions.<br />
<br />
There are two possibilities speculated behind Homura's wish:<br />
<br />
# Homura wanted to save Madoka and the city, she did not want Madoka's sacrifice to be in vain.<br />
# Homura was selfishly wishing to redo her relationship with Madoka so she could fight alongside with her, save Madoka's life, and protect the town from Walpurgis Night. <br />
::*Perhaps Homura wanted more than just being protected by her friend; perhaps deep down she wanted to return the favor by protecting Madoka.<br />
Other possibility tied with the author's intentions.<br />
# Homura's wish would tie with the ending of the story as plotted by the author, binding both Madoka and Homura together eternally. Her wish to "meet Madoka again" instead of bringing Madoka back to life would mean that she would always be able to "meet" Madoka even if the world resets itself without Madoka's physical presence (in the current timeline). It would also explain why Homura remembers Madoka while everyone else (Mami, Kyoko, and her family) doesn't. Also, since Madoka ultimately turns into an omnipresence, Homura's 2nd part of the wish would also fit perfectly with the new "Madoka." Although Madoka can no longer be seen or felt, Homura is still the one trying to protect Madoka's wish. This can be confirmed when Homura says that although the world isn't worth saving, it was the place that Madoka wanted to protect, so she would continue to fight. She fights to protect Madoka's "wish" in the current timeline.<br />
<br />
*It's speculated that Sayaka's hostility toward Homura can be interpreted in two ways:<br />
#Homura was threatening Sayaka's belief that they were girls of justice by revealing the dark side of the Puella Magi system with no proof<br />
#* In the spin-ff Oriko Magica where Sayaka doesnt find out about Magical Girls, she is more friendly towards Homura, despite the latter being her stoic self in latter timelines, which adds credence to the theory<br />
#Sayaka was getting jealous that Homura (a new comer) was getting too close with Madoka, threatening Sayaka's role as friend, protector, and supporter.<br />
::This could also be interpreted as Sayaka being suspicious of Homura's intention. One explanation could be that perhaps Sayaka's state of mind is becoming unstable with the build up of despair and she starting to become paranoid and suspicious of anyone going against her.<br />
<br />
{{Theory/Footer}}<br />
<br />
==Trivia==<br />
*The [[Megami_Magazine_2011-07|Megami Magazine article]] indicates that Episode 10 was made only after the trimming of the screenplay. If possible Shinbo would like to make it in its complete form. But to make it in complete form, it will need around 45 minutes so perhaps it is not possible.<br />
**Unless it is done as an OVA or movie format, this had lead to some speculation in 2chan.<br />
**On [[Kirara_Magica_Interview_Shinbo_Akiyuki|his interview with Kirara Magica]], Shinbo expressed hesitation on whatever to re-record the dialogue from Episode 10 or to use the original TV version recording for the [[Madoka Magica Movie|Madoka movie]]. According to Shinbo Episode 10 has a superb voice acting and makes it special to him.<br />
**The drama CD ''[[Drama CD 1|Memories of You]]'' notably expands upon the first timeline, although it is unlikely it represent's Shinbo's full vision of the episode.<br />

== Summary ==<br />
[[File:Ep10 timeline chart.jpg|thumb]]<br />
:''See also [[Timeline]]''<br />
This episode centers around [[Homura]]. Most of the mystery behind her origin and behavior in previous episodes is explained.<br />
<br />
=== Timeline 1 ===<br />
In the original timeline for Homura, she was a normal human girl suffering from a heart disease. She is shown just released from the hospital and transferring to the [[Mitakihara Middle School]], similar to the [[Episode 1|first episode]]. She differs in appearance to the Homura we know, though - she wears glasses and wears her long hair tied in two braids. Her personality also feels different - she is a lot more shy and clumsy.<br />
<br />
[[Madoka]], [[Sayaka]] and other new classmates try to befriend Homura, which makes her feel uneasy. During a talk with Madoka, she admits finding herself worthless, not unlike Madoka does in the timeline of other episodes. Homura's problems during math and sports classes (probably related to being out of school for a long time) contribute to her depression, which makes her get suicidal thoughts on the way from school.<br />
<br />
Presumably because of these thoughts, she wanders into the barrier of witch [[Izabel]]. She is quickly saved by [[Puella Magi]] Madoka and [[Mami]], with Madoka asking her to keep their jobs a secret from schoolmates. Later, during a visit at Mami's apartment, Madoka reveals that she's been contracted only for a very short time. Homura feels fascinated about her magical friends, similar to how Madoka acts in initial episodes.<br />
<br />
Some time later, Madoka and Mami fight [[Walpurgis Night]] together, with Homura following them as a human. Mami is defeated quickly, then Madoka apparently manages to defeat the witch, but at the expense of her own life. Homura cries over Madoka's dead body, and accepts [[Kyubey]]'s proposal to become a Puella Magi, her wish being ''"I wish… I wish I can meet Miss Kaname all over again. But this time, instead of her protecting me, I wanna be strong enough to protect her!"'' The contract is formed, with Kyubey commenting that the wish has "overcome entropy".<br />
<br />
=== Timeline 2 ===<br />
[[File:Homura shield power use.gif|right]]<br />
Homura wakes up in a hospital, on the date she was released in the previous iteration, having a [[Soul Gem]] in her hand. After transferring to school, she instantly tells Madoka about becoming a Puella Magi, hoping for good cooperation.<br />
<br />
Madoka and Mami train Homura the Puella Magi, who turns out to be extremely clumsy, despite having the very powerful ability of stopping time. Meanwhile, Homura reads online guides about making explosives, contributing to improving her skills. While still clumsy, she plays the most important role when the trio - now good friends - fights with the witch [[Patricia]].<br />
<br />
The next scene shown is after the Walpurgis Night - after defeating the witch, Madoka's Soul Gem turns into a [[Grief Seed]] and she becomes a witch.<br />
<br />
=== Timeline 3 ===<br />
The time goes back again, and Homura wakes up at the exact same place and time as previously. Scared and angered by the discovery of the true nature of the contract with Kyubey, she decides to tell the other girls immediately. Sayaka, who in this timeline became a Puella Magi, too, doesn't believe her and accuses her of collaborating with [[Kyoko]], whom apparently only Homura has met.<br />
<br />
Sayaka also tells that she feels afraid of Homura's explosives, which makes Homura go to a meeting of some armed formation (the building is labeled {{nihongo|"Shaft Industries"|射太興業|Shafuto Kōgyō}}) and steal some firearms, all on frozen time. Since Sayaka turns into a [[Oktavia von Seckendorff|witch]], presumably for similar reasons as in [[Episode 8]], Homura uses the firearms during the fight with her to protect Madoka, and also defeats her, even though Madoka and Kyoko try to make Sayaka human again in a fashion similar to [[Episode 9]].<br />
<br />
Upon seeing the true nature of Puella Magi herself, Mami breaks down and attempts to kill all the magical girls, including herself, in order to prevent their eventual transformation into witches. She kills Kyoko first by shooting her Soul Gem and attempts to kill Homura by binding her, but before she can do so, Madoka uses her beam arrows to kill her. The remaining two fight on the Walpurgis Night together, and defeat the witch, having their Soul Gems fatally tainted, though. Madoka heals Homura with a Grief Seed she was hiding, and asks Homura to prevent her from becoming a Puella Magi next time she goes back in time. Homura agrees, and grants Madoka one more wish of hers - killing her to prevent her from becoming a witch.<br />
<br />
=== Timeline 4 ===<br />
Upon waking up in the familiar hospital, Homura changes her appearance by magically healing her eyes, wearing the hair down and taming her emotions - just how she looked in all the previous episodes. At night, she warns Madoka not to accept miracles, confusing her. Then she goes hunting all the witches.<br />
<br />
On Walpurgis Night, the dream sequence from [[Episode 1]] is shown again. Homura watches Kyubey persuading Madoka and screams to prevent her from forming the contract, but Madoka doesn't seem to hear her.<br />
<br />
Off-camera, Madoka forms the contract and defeats the witch with just one shot, but becomes a witch ([[Kriemhild Gretchen]]) herself shortly after. Kyubey comments that she will destroy the whole Earth in only ten days. He has collected an enormous amount of energy from her already, though, so he doesn't care about it anymore.<br />
<br />
Homura refuses to fight Madoka the witch, saying that "TMy fight is somewhere else," which makes Kyubey realize that she's from a different timeline.<br />
<br />
=== Additional Timelines ===<br />
Homura insists on repeating that particular period of time (between her awakening in the hospital and the Walpurgis Night), no matter how many times it takes, until she saves Madoka. She kills Kyubey, but he respawns in a new body, which she chases. However, he is saved by Madoka in an encounter similar to [[Episode 1]]. Most likely, these events are taking place in one of many timelines that fall between Timeline 4 and the timeline shown in Episodes 1 through 9.<br />
<br />
Homura's monologue reveals that she is devoted to saving Madoka no matter how many times she'll have to retry.<br />
<br />
*At a [[Nitro+ Q&A Panels at Animagic 2013|Nitro+ Q&A Panel]] it was revealed that Homura went through almost 100 timelines. <i><b>Q:</b> How many timelines did Homura go through? <b>A:</b> Approaching 100.</i><br />
**Assuming Homura repeated a full 30-day month nearly 100 times, it can be calculated that she has been reliving the same month for nearly 8.2 years.<br />

=== About the timelines and time travel ===<br />
[[File:Time traveling homura.gif|right|200px]]<br />
* Homura's Past Timeline Experiences:<br />
**While powerful, Mami can become mentally and emotionally unstable. If she learns the truth, she's likely to break down from the pressure and kill everyone, as seen in Timeline 3 (she is unreliable as an ally). That's why Homura is cold and distant to her in the other timelines. However, in [[Oriko Magica]], after a pep talk with [[Yuma]], Mami accepts her fate as a Puella Magi.<br />
***It is later revealed that actually Homura wanted to be in good terms with Mami in the current timeline, but Kyubey made her plans backfire. Homura was cold to Mami in [[Oriko Magica]] because she believed that Mami was the cause why Madoka always contracts.<br />
**Sayaka refuses to believe or listen to Homura's advice. She will also be prone to making the same mistakes and become a witch (her fate is inevitable no matter what). That's why Homura is cold to her and decides to kill her in the present Timeline, to stop her from becoming a witch, but she was stopped by Kyoko.<br />
**From past experience, Homura believes Kyoko may be the only ally left to help her in stopping Walpurgis Night. However, she did not anticipate her actions that lead to her death since this didn't happen in previous timelines. That's why she was surprised by her death in the fifth Timeline.<br />
**Leaving Madoka alone or keeping her distance from her will not stop her from making her wish. Nor can Homura stop Walpurgis Night on her own.<br />
**The only constant in previous timelines is that Madoka is the only one with a pure soul, she was the only one who called her a friend and trusted her with her life.<br />
*Every time Homura tries to change the past, she seems to make it worse:<br />
**'''Original timeline''': Mami and Madoka die like heroines and they are the only known casualties, Earth is saved (and there are no more threats to the planet). The truth is never revealed.<br />
***In this version Madoka dies without regrets in her heart, she remains pure and innocent in the end thus avoids the fate of becoming a witch.<br />
**'''Second timeline''': Mami dies as a heroine, but Madoka becomes a normal Witch.<br />
**'''Third timeline''': Sayaka becomes a witch and is killed by Homura. Mami kills Kyoko and tries to kill the others to prevent them becoming witches, but is killed by Madoka. Madoka still dies, but not before she saves Homura from becoming a witch and Homura mercy kills her before she can become one herself.<br />
**'''Fourth timeline''': Madoka becomes a powerful Witch that will destroy the Earth, everyone dies.<br />
**'''Fifth timeline''': Mami dies before learning the truth, Sayaka still becomes a witch and dies with Kyoko.<br />
* In timeline 5, Homura kills Kyubey once at the beginning and fails to do it again until episode 8. That's why Kyubey mentions that she already killed him twice and he realizes that Homura can use Time-Control magic.<br />
<br />
=== Continuity to previous episodes ===<br />
* There was initially a disagreement whether the dream sequence from [[Episode 1]] is the event shown in Timeline 4. Evidence against this was the different shape of [[Walpurgis Night]] witch in the two sequences, and different coloring of the scene. However the Blu-ray release of [[Episode 1]] features an updated version of the prologue scene, now looking exactly the same as in Episode 10. It is thus safe to assume that the prologue actually did happen during Timeline 4.<br />
*Walpurgis Night of Timeline 1 is slightly different from the ones in Episode 1's original version, Timeline 4 and Episodes 11-12.<br />
*While Timeline 5 looks very similar to a scene from Episode 1 (contributing to an interpretation that it is the timeline of all previous episodes), there are small diferences:<br />
**There is a short conversation between Homura and Madoka in Episode 1, but in Episode 10, Madoka only says "Ms. Akemi". In episode 1, when Madoka encounters Homura in the closed section of the mall, Sayaka surprises Homura with a fire extinguisher; in episode 10, Sayaka isn't shown making an entrance.<br />
**Additionally, in Episode 1 Homura is seen with one of her legs propped on a bag and is never seen taking a step back.<br />
*Homura comments in [[Episode 4]] that she has witnessed "countless" magical girls die. In Episode 10, we see her witness (or cause herself) at most 9 deaths (the exact number depends on whether to count becoming a witch as dying, or whether to count killing the witch form). Even though some events may have happened off-camera, it is still too low number to consider it "too many to count". This suggests that there were indeed more loops than seen in the episode.<br />
<br />
=== Miscellaneous ===<br />
[[File:Ep10-calendar.jpg|thumb|What led to the conclusion that the anime took place in March 2011]]<br />
* The calendar in Homura's room shows that she's getting discharged from the hospital on the 16th and returns to school on the 25th. From the format of the calendar, the 25th is apparently a Friday. The only month in 2011 that has 31 days and the 25th falling on a Friday is March. This means that the anime is set during the same time the final episode was supposed to air.<br />
** More information about the subject [[Timeline|here]].<br />
**There are a few problems with this theory. First, there is no indication that this occurs in 2011. The same pattern of days can fall in a month for a different year. Furthermore, the technology shown in the classroom is more advanced than in 2011 Japan. Shinbo in an interview also describes it as [[NewType_2010-12|"in the near future, or a distant future."]] Second, Japan's school year starts in April, possibly as early as the 1st though typically on April 5th, not late March. The green foliage [[:Media:Ep 10 Cherry Blossoms blow in.jpg|and cherry blossoms]], makes it clear it's the spring term and thus the [[:Media:Ep10-calendar-BD.jpg|31 day month]] would be March or May. Furthermore, Homura is not transferring in on the first day. Based on Madoka's conversation in episode 1 with her mother about her [[:Media:Ep_1_Conversation_Mid_Spring_Term.jpg|teacher and Hitomi]], makes it sound like it is already well into the spring term. Third, physical evidence, such as Madoka's father harvesting [[:Media:Ep 1 Plant Growth.jpg|full-grown]] [[:Media:Ep 1 Harvesting Tomatoes.jpg|cherry tomatoes]] in ep. 1. With Japan's climate, tomato plants would be harvested in end of May, not March, in an outdoor garden. Thus, the events most likely occur starting in May in some future year.<br />
*Homura's only way to get guns and weapons is by stealing them, it is assumed that she must have stolen them from a group of criminals.<br />
**This is not true as she's also seen stealing from the military.<br />
*Although it is shown that Homura can time travel, the limitations are not clear. She is always shown returning to the hospital only after something happens to Madoka, whether it be her dying or becoming a witch. This does not indicate whether or not Homura can continue after Madoka dies or if she can start over in the middle of one timeline.<br />
**In addition, it is unclear whether Homura retains all of her physical improvements between timelines. We see obvious contrasts between episode 1 and 10 where Homura is certainly stronger in timeline 5. However, this could be due to Homura retraining her weak body every time she starts again in the hospital and not be a result of accumulated strength.<br />
***As she was able to use magic to heal her eyes, it is quite possible she did the same with her body.<br />
*In Timeline 3, the Grief Seed Madoka uses to heal Homura may be Sayaka's Grief Seed. She might have obtained it after defeating Oktavia at the station. Madoka might have kept the Grief Seed until the end to remember Sayaka.<br />
** The Grief Seed from Episode 10 looks different from that of Episode 8. However, this can be explained if the Grief Seed from Episode 8 is an immature form. Both Sayaka and Madoka's Grief Seed does not show dark parts as other Witches' Grief Seeds (except Charlotte's Seed which was partially dark since Charlotte had revived recently).<br />
*Homura's shield can bend space and time; it is also useful for storing her arsenal of weapons. It is also a symbol of her will to protect Madoka.<br />
**Inside Homura's shield there are mechanisms like gears, springs, and a escapement wheel; these are parts typically found in mechanical clocks.<br />
**Every time Homura uses her power her shield produces a small drop of red material. Its composition and function are unknown but it may have something to do with Homura's ability to surpass entropy to stop or travel back in time.<br />
**It is suspected that the red material is actually sand from her timer and it contains one month worth of time, once the sand runs out she cannot use her time stopping powers. To refill the timer Homura must reset her timer like an hourglass and travel back to one month to the period when she was back at the hospital.<br />
* This time, the only change spotted in the opening animation was the addition of Homura and Kyoko to the group shot. The opening animation has also been used as the ending sequence. (this episode has no proper opening)<br />
* The building from which Homura steals weapons in Timeline 3 has a banner reading 「射太興業」. 興業 means "industrial enterprise", and 射太 can be read as "Shafuto", the Japanese pronounciation of "[[wikipedia:Shaft (company)|Shaft]]".<br />
*According to a Chinese fan who blogged [http://tieba.baidu.com/f?kz=1066640642] about meeting Ume Aoki [http://green-oval.net/cgi-board.pl/a/thread/48920706#p48925799], Episode 10 was Ume Aoki's favorite episode, that she cried over many times watching it.<br />
* Homura finds a manual on how to make bombs from the internet. According to [[wikipedia:Hara_Hara_Tokei#References_in_popular_culture|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]].<br />
**Incidentally, the manual explains with illustrations that ''“Anyone with a middle-school level knowledge of chemistry can do it”''.<br />
<br />
== Speculation ==<br />
<br />
===About Walpurgis Night and magic in general===<br />
{{Theory/Header|status=confirmed}}<br />
* According to Kyubey, Madoka as a Witch has the power to destroy the world but it is of no concern to him as long as they meet their quota.<br />
**It is speculated that because of the nature of Madoka's wish in Timeline 4, that wish gave her the power to not only destroy the Witch during Walpurgis Night with just one shot but that same power will destroy the world once she becomes a Witch herself. For that to happen Madoka will have to make the same wish on Walpurgis Night in Timeline 5.<br />
*Walpurgis Night could be the witch of a magical girl who defeated the previous most powerful witch. As QB mentioned in Episode 10, the only choice left for a magic girl after defeating the most powerful witch "is to become a (even more powerful) witch herself".<br />
{{Theory/Footer}}<br />
<br />
{{Theory/Header|status=unknown}}<br />
*Since Walpurgis Night didn't drop a Grief Seed in Timeline 3, it is possible that Walpurgis Night could be a familar of an even more powerful witch. However, this would conflict with QB's statement of Walpurgis Night being the most powerful witch.<br />
** It's also possible that because of the size of Walpurgis Night, the grief seed wouldn't be found and would get lost anyway.<br />
{{Theory/Footer}}<br />
<br />
{{Theory/Header|status=debunked}}<br />
*It was speculated that given the nature of Walpurgis Night and the presence of gears, along with the "falling" figure of the witch, Walpurgis Night could be the witch form of Homura. However, since [[Puella Magi Madoka Magica Portable]]'s release, it has been confirmed that Walpurgis is not Homura's witch form. Homura's official witch is named [[Homulilly]].<br />
*It was also speculated that Walpurgis Night could be Homura's witch form from the future.<br />
{{Theory/Footer}}<br />
<br />
===About the timelines and time travel===<br />
{{Theory/Header|status=confirmed}}<br />
* Madoka may be getting stronger on each timeline for unknown reasons.<br />
** '''Timeline 1''': Madoka triumphs on Walpurgis night, possibly only after Mami has already weakened the witch. Madoka somehow dies from her wounds from the battle. This seems to be the weakest of all the Madokas.<br />
** '''Timeline 2''': Madoka is victorious on Walpurgis night and does not die from her battle injuries. However, she immediately transforms into a witch afterwards. We do not know if Madoka as a witch is especially strong or not.<br />
***This one can be misleading, we must not forget that in this timeline she has the assistance of Homura and possibly Mami, which is why Madoka didnt die.<br />
** '''Timeline 3''': Madoka wins with only the assistance of Homura. They would be capable of surviving if it were not for the blackening of their Soul Gems. Madoka clings to her humanity longer compared to her last incarnation.<br />
***Why Madoka lasted longer could be a result of her unwillingness to transform as she is now aware of what will happen next. The previous Madoka version was probably scared and confused as to what was happening to her so it is possible she didn't fight back the transformation. Also, she may have more energy left because of Homura's increased power and experience.<br />
** '''Timeline 4''': Madoka is able to stop Walpurgis night in just one hit. Obviously stronger compared to the timeline 1 version. Kyubbey mentions how strong Madoka had become, surpassing his expectations. Her witch form has the power to destroy the whole planet.<br />
***It is stated previously that the strength and power of a Puella Magi is reflected by the nature of their wish, since Madoka witnessed the power of the witch in Walpurgis Night, she could have wished for the power to defeat her thus receiving equal or greater power than the witch.<br />
****Because Madoka has always stated how Puella Magi should protect everyone, it is possible her wish was simply to protect everyone and thus the corresponding witch curse would be to kill everyone.<br />
** '''Timeline 5''': Kyubey mentions that Madoka could become a god or godlike if she wished, although this may simply be him egging her on to become a magical girl.<br />
** This is confirmed by Kyubey later on.<br />
{{Theory/Footer}}<br />
<br />
{{Theory/Header|status=debunked}}<br />
*It was speculated in [[Episode 9]] that if Kyubey's people have the technology to travel back in time, they could fix the entropy problem by reversing it. <br />
**However, in Episode 10, we learn that Kyubey can only grant the ability to travel back in time. He is only part of the process to create it, so they do not posses the ability itself. The power of time travel rests only within Homura because of her wish.<br />
{{Theory/Footer}}<br />
<br />
{{Theory/Header|status=unknown}}<br />
* It seems like in every timeline the last ones left to fight Walpurgis Night are Homura and Madoka.<br />
**It is assumed that Mami, Kyoko, and Sayaka always die in every timeline.<br />
***However, some evidence suggests that Kyoko's and Sayaka's absence on Walpurgis Night in the other timelines could be explained by Kyoko never arriving in town (or joining forces) or Sayaka never making her wish.<br />
****Under this assumption we are lead to believe that Mami dies in every timeline.<br />
* It is possible that an imprint or a residue of past timelines are still within Madoka's memory. One example is the dream that Madoka had in Episode 1 and that strange image static in Episode 8.<br />
*Homura's reason to go back in time seems to change in each timeline, even though it's possible that only her methods of trying to save Madoka change and her final goal is still the same:<br />
**'''Original Timeline''': Goes back to help Madoka and stop her from dying.<br />
**'''Timeline 2''': Homura witnesses the truth and sees Madoka die and become a witch. Homura decides to go back and warn the other girls about the truth.<br />
**'''Timeline 3''': Homura seems to resign to her fate, she wants to die alongside with Madoka and become witches together, she does not mind if they bring more destruction. However, Madoka saves her life and asks her to stop her from making the stupid mistake of becoming a Puella Magi/Witch, she also tells her that there are still good things left in the world so she refuses to become a Witch and bring more destruction.<br />
**'''Timeline 4''': Homura realizes that Madoka has the power to destroy the world if left alone. Her mission is to fulfill Madoka's previous request and stop her from becoming a Puella Magi/Witch that will lead to the destruction of the Earth (something that Madoka refused to become part of in Timeline 3).<br />
** While there is no hard proof going against that theory, note that Homura never said anything about changing her whereabouts.<br />

=== Miscellaneous ===<br />
{{Theory/Header|status=confirmed}}<br />
*Fans have complained that they think Madoka is a weak character and doesn't have a lot of character development, regardless of their criticism, arguably one of the reasons can be Homura. Homura's mission to stop Madoka from becoming a Mahou Shoujo has also halted some of her character development. In each separate timeline we see a different side of Madoka: she can be strong, resilient, and self-sacrificing when she is a Mahou Shoujo. The character trait that remains constant in every timeline compared to the current one is her kindness and trust, in which she's willing to do what she can to help those in need.<br />
**The [[Drama CD 1|first Drama CD]] supports this observation.<br />
{{Theory/Footer}}<br />
<br />
{{Theory/Header|status=unknown}}<br />
*It is possible that the reason Kyubey made Homura a Puella Magi in timeline 1 was to meet his energy quota. The Madoka version of that timeline died before she could become a witch.<br />
*The new version of Episode 10 that was broadcast at Nico Nico shows a tree in Timeline 4. Some speculate that this tree could somehow be related to the [[wikipedia:Yggdrasil|Yggdrasil Tree]] (world tree) of Norse Mythology.<br />
<br />
=== Homura's Wish ===<br />
Observers have tried to interpret the reasoning behind Homura's wish. At first glance it seems that it would had been easier to just wish Madoka back to life. Instead, Homura decides the harder route to change her meeting with Madoka, try to save her life, and then stop Walpurgis Night from destroying the city. Dismissing the fact that Kyubey had stated that bringing the dead back is "impossible", as Homura was not aware of this fact, her wish seems unusual unless you try analyze her reasoning, or the author's intentions.<br />
<br />
There are two possibilities speculated behind Homura's wish:<br />
<br />
# Homura wanted to save Madoka and the city, she did not want Madoka's sacrifice to be in vain.<br />
# Homura was selfishly wishing to redo her relationship with Madoka so she could fight alongside with her, save Madoka's life, and protect the town from Walpurgis Night. <br />
::*Perhaps Homura wanted more than just being protected by her friend; perhaps deep down she wanted to return the favor by protecting Madoka.<br />
Other possibility tied with the author's intentions.<br />
# Homura's wish would tie with the ending of the story as plotted by the author, binding both Madoka and Homura together eternally. Her wish to "meet Madoka again" instead of bringing Madoka back to life would mean that she would always be able to "meet" Madoka even if the world resets itself without Madoka's physical presence (in the current timeline). It would also explain why Homura remembers Madoka while everyone else (Mami, Kyoko, and her family) doesn't. Also, since Madoka ultimately turns into an omnipresence, Homura's 2nd part of the wish would also fit perfectly with the new "Madoka." Although Madoka can no longer be seen or felt, Homura is still the one trying to protect Madoka's wish. This can be confirmed when Homura says that although the world isn't worth saving, it was the place that Madoka wanted to protect, so she would continue to fight. She fights to protect Madoka's "wish" in the current timeline.<br />
<br />
*It's speculated that Sayaka's hostility toward Homura can be interpreted in two ways:<br />
#Homura was threatening Sayaka's belief that they were girls of justice by revealing the dark side of the Puella Magi system with no proof<br />
#* In the spin-ff Oriko Magica where Sayaka doesnt find out about Magical Girls, she is more friendly towards Homura, despite the latter being her stoic self in latter timelines, which adds credence to the theory<br />
#Sayaka was getting jealous that Homura (a new comer) was getting too close with Madoka, threatening Sayaka's role as friend, protector, and supporter.<br />
::This could also be interpreted as Sayaka being suspicious of Homura's intention. One explanation could be that perhaps Sayaka's state of mind is becoming unstable with the build up of despair and she starting to become paranoid and suspicious of anyone going against her.<br />
<br />
{{Theory/Footer}}<br />
<br />
==Trivia==<br />
*The [[Megami_Magazine_2011-07|Megami Magazine article]] indicates that Episode 10 was made only after the trimming of the screenplay. If possible Shinbo would like to make it in its complete form. But to make it in complete form, it will need around 45 minutes so perhaps it is not possible.<br />
**Unless it is done as an OVA or movie format, this had lead to some speculation in 2chan.<br />
**On [[Kirara_Magica_Interview_Shinbo_Akiyuki|his interview with Kirara Magica]], Shinbo expressed hesitation on whatever to re-record the dialogue from Episode 10 or to use the original TV version recording for the [[Madoka Magica Movie|Madoka movie]]. According to Shinbo Episode 10 has a superb voice acting and makes it special to him.<br />
**The drama CD ''[[Drama CD 1|Memories of You]]'' notably expands upon the first timeline, although it is unlikely it represent's Shinbo's full vision of the episode.<br />

== Summary ==<br />
[[File:BD_2_Scan_2.jpg|260px|right]]<br />
[[File:Charlotte_initialform.jpg|260px|right]]<br />
[[Sayaka]] visits a hospitalized boy named [[Kyousuke Kamijou]], who was a violin player she admired when she was little, but then suffered a serious injury in his wrist, preventing him from playing. They listen to classical music together rather happily, but then Kamijou starts crying quietly.<br />
<br />
After another witch hunt in which she defeated a [[familiar]], [[Suleika#Ulla (ULLA)|Ulla]], [[Mami]] tells [[Madoka]] and Sayaka that she was involved in a deadly traffic accident and didn't have time to think about her wish. She also warns Sayaka to be aware of her true intentions while wishing for other people's sakes, and recalls that the precedent she knows is not a happy one. Later that night, as Madoka helps her drunk [[Junko Kaname|mother]] to bed and talks with her [[Tomohisa Kaname|father]], Mami is approached by [[Homura]], who warns her about making Madoka a magical girl. <br />
<br />
The next day, whilst visiting the hospital, Madoka and Sayaka find a [[Grief Seed]] that is close to activating. Madoka goes in search of Mami, whilst Sayaka and Kyubey remain near the seed and are engulfed by the forming [[barrier]]. Madoka soon returns with Mami, but as they enter the barrier, Homura confronts them and tries to warn Mami about the witch she intends to face. Mami ignores her and places her in a bind to stop her from following them. As they continue, Madoka mentions her wish is to simply to be a magical girl and help others, as she felt her current self was useless. Mami first tries to warn her off such a wish, and laments that her job as a magical girl has left her lonely and afraid, but feels relieved that Madoka wishes to fight alongside her.<br />
<br />
The Grief Seed begins to activate, while a happy Mami fights off the [[Charlotte#Pyotr (PYOTR)|minions]] of the witch. She later reaches [[Charlotte|the witch's]] lair, and appears to kill her. However, the witch suddenly transforms into a giant caterpillar, catching her off-guard and decapitating her with a huge bite. As Mami's headless body falls to the floor, the witch continues to chomp on her remains, as the horrified Madoka and Sayaka can only watch. Kyubey pleads them to make their wishes quickly and contract with him, but before they can do so, Homura, her bonds dissolving with Mami's demise, steps in and defeats the witch, claiming the Grief Seed. After some harsh words, she departs, leaving a deeply saddened Madoka and Sayaka alone, grieving for Mami.<br />

When Sayaka first enters Charlotte's barrier, there's a single frame that seems to foreshadow what's to come. Additional macabre hints are provided by the cereal box which is shown just before Charlotte appears. (See [[Runes:Episode 3]])<br />

<br />
===Witches and desserts===<br />
The witch's name is [[Charlotte]], which is also a [[wikipedia:Charlotte_(dessert)|dessert]]. It can be served hot or cold. Classically, stale bread dipped in butter was used as the lining. The filling may be covered with a thin layer of similarly flavored gelatin.<br />
<br />
The relationship between the cake and the witch is emphasized in the witch's magical world (just like [[Gertrud]] and flowers in the previous episode).<br />

<br />
===Homura's Appearance===<br />
Near the end of the episode, neither Kyubey or Sayaka knew that Homura was inside the labyrinth and had been restrained by Mami. Keeping this fact in mind may aid in understanding their reactions to the situation.<br />
<br />
{{-}}<br />
<br />
===Ending===<br />
Episode 3 included the debut of the anime's ending sequence featuring the song [[Magia]]. The TV broadcasts of the first two episodes aired without endings to conceal the dark, ominous nature of the [[Magia]] ending.<br />
<br />
== Trivia ==<br />
Episode 3 first aired on Thursday, January 20 2011 at 25:30 JST (Friday at 1:30AM JST) on [http://www.mbs.jp/index-e.html MBS].<br />
[[File:VeryHungry.jpg|thumb|250px|The Very Hungry Caterpillar teaches basic concepts such as counting to five which may be referenced by the numbers scattered around Charlotte's Labyrinth.]]<br />
*Charlotte's second form may have been inspired by [[wikipedia:The_Very_Hungry_Caterpillar|The Very Hungry Caterpillar]], an immensely popular children's tale.<br />
* The music piece that [[Sayaka Miki]] and [[Kamijou]] heard in the hospital is Sergei Rachmaninoff's ''[[wikipedia:Vocalise_(Rachmaninoff)|Vocalise]]''. The cover with the violinist ''Dawd Ostrakh'' is a reference to the soviet violinist [[wikipedia:David Oistrakh|David Oistrakh]] (or Oistrach).<br />
* The CD player [[Kamijou]] was using is a conceptional [http://www.yankodesign.com/index.php/2007/08/09/dual-music-player-that-plays-your-mp3-collection-your-cds/ 'Dual Music Player'] designed by Yong-Seong Kim.<br />
* The opening sequence got some visual upgrades compared to the first two episodes' original broadcast (see picture [[Episode_3#Differences_in_the_opening | below]])<br />
* Mami mentioned in [[Episode 2]] that witches also appear in hospitals.<br />
* The sign 「手術中」 means "Operating." This could be a sign that the witch was originally diabetic or obese and had to undergo surgery.<br />
* There are a number of [[Episode_3#Production_errors|drawing errors]] after the fight with Charlotte.<br />
* Cyrus Hamlin, Professor Emeritus of German and Comparative Literature at Yale University, died peacefully in New Haven on January 19th, 2011 approximately two days before this episode aired. As part of his career he spent four decades studying and writing about Goethe's Faust and Goethe himself, authoring or editing much of the literature on the subject.<br />
* Mami's gun kata style fighting may be explained by Gen being a fan of the [[wikipedia:Equilibrium (movie)|Equilibrium]] movie, where gun kata was extensively used.<br />
* Chiwa Saito (Homura) was the only one who failed to see Mami's death flags. She was also surprised to learn that she was the only one who didnt see Mami's death coming.<br />
* After Episode 3, 2chan/nicodou exploded with new phrases like ''"Mamiruzo"'' and ''"Mamirareta"'' (you'll be eaten).<br />
** Aoi Yuuki (Madoka) is such a nerd that she uses ''"Mamirareta"'' in the Blu-ray Episode 3 audio commentary.<br />
**Episode 3 created a torrent of arts and comics related to Mami's gruesome ending. It is generally found under the tag of [http://danbooru.donmai.us/post/index?tags=mami_mogu_mogu Mami mogu mogu].<br />
* While discussing wishes with Madoka and Sayaka, Mami mentions a magical girl who made a wish for the benefit of others but suffered a tragic fate. She is most likely referring to the events in [[Drama CD 3|Drama CD 3: ''"Farewell Story"'']].<br />
* It is possible that Homura has already fought against Charlotte in one of the previous timelines. This could explain her statement about how it was "different from the other witches" (i.e. hurting the main body would only produce a new one). Also, it was only after Homura landed on a seemingly lifeless doll that Charlotte was truly destroyed, implying that she (Homura) knew Charlotte's weak spot beforehand.<br />
<br />
===Production errors===<br />
<br />
In the original airing of this episode, after the fight with Charlotte, Homura jumps down and reverts back to her schoolgirl clothes. But then there is a single shot of her wearing her magical girl costume again, before she's back in her school uniform. In the Blu-ray/DVD version, this is corrected. See the [[Episode_revisions#Episode_3 | episode revisions]] page for all changes made in the BD version.<br />
<br />
Outside the hospital after the Labyrinth disappears, the bike rack layer is underneath the garden bed's and there are few, if any, shadows.<br />

**According with the PSP world map, the Tomoe residence is located in an area at a fork of a river.

It is difficult to determine what some of those buildings are, apart from being residential apartments, so it is assumed that they could be non-commercial buildings or small retail stores. Starting from Mami's residence, Mitakihara school is located on the southwest direction, next to a bridge that crosses the river.</div>N.

==History==<br />
===Original Anime===<br />
Kriemhild Gretchen appears in second and fourth timelines of [[Episode 10]]. A different version of her, {{Spoiler|born from Madoka's extremely powerful wish}} also appears in [[Episode 12]].<br />
<br />
In the second timeline, her formation involves thunderclouds coalescing initially into a giant humanoid and then she seems to form a mountain-like being.<br />
<br />
In the fourth timeline, she is shown as a giant creature, actually the size of a mountain. Her name was not shown at all during initial broadcast, but was added in the fourth timeline in a webcast version one week later. According to [[Kyubey]], strength of this incarnation of hers is of such a magnitude that she could obliterate the planet within ten days.<br />
<br />
Her appearance in both timelines is essentially identical (if one looks closely at her fourth timeline appearance, they will see the head at the top of the shadow between the outstretched arms), though in the second timeline only her head was really shown at all, with the body still forming.<br />
<br />
In episode 12, {{Spoiler|Madoka's all-powerful witch form appears at the end of the universe, born from all the grief Madoka had shouldered from the magical girls she had saved, due to her supremely hopeful wish. She inhabits a comet-sized grief seed and, unlike the second and fourth timelines versions of Kriemhild, has a fully-shown face (although the left half is either blank or covered in shadow); her head is sun disc-shaped, her open mouth resembles the moon, and her right eye resembles the earth. She is slain by Ultimate Madoka before she can consume the earth.}}<br />
<br />
===[[Magia Record]]===<br />
====Anime Japan 2017 card description====<br />
The Doppel of Mercy. Her form is that of salvation. This Doppel is a replica of mercy. The owner of these feelings dreams of saving everyone and everything inside the Doppel. This Doppel, which has powers similar to that of a god's, will probably level the earth and reduce it all to dust. <br />
<br />
====In-Game ([[Madoka Kaname in Magia Record|Normal]] version) description====<br />
The Doppel of mercy. Its form is salvation.<br />
The master of this emotion tries to save all of existence. This Doppel appears as a huge floating Soul Gem. Once it is summoned, it creates an existence within with all things around it are consumed, and then takes control of everything within that existence. After that, it floats higher into the air and a shower of light arrows rains down. While all of this is happening, the master of this emotion sleeps inside the huge Soul Gem.<br />
<br />
====[[Madoka_Kaname_(Haregi_ver.)|Haregi]] version description====<br />
The Doppel of mercy. Its form is a New Year’s Tidings. <br />
The master of this emotion is filled with aspirations for the new year from inside her Doppel, which gathers all wishes for the year the moment if manifests and bestows them upon its enemy in the form of blessings of mercy. Any and all life that has thrived on this earth over the millennia of its existence are sure to be equally condensed and crushed by the enormity of this fleeting creature's wish.<br />
<br />
====[[Madoka-senpai]] version description====<br />
The Doppel of mercy. Its form is expulsion. The master of this emotion is identified as a foreign substance by her Doppel, and is mercilessly ejected from it. Having been separated from the representation of her emotions, only memories linger in its former master’s mind. But as she relishes those memories, they exude a new wave of emotion– and its charmingly quirky voice will surely mow down every enemy that she can see down below.<br />
<br />
==Observations==<br />
* In Episode 1, shortly after the runic text reading "Prologue in Heaven", we see the upside-down form of a giant shadow above Walpurgis Night's spell circle (the symbols seen behind Walpurgis Night). Based off her appearance and her desire to create "heaven", it can only be concluded that this shadow is Kriemhild Gretchen<br />
* Kriemhild can only be defeated if the world is rid of all misfortune within the ten days it will take for her to destroy it. This could mean that the only feasible way of defeating her is by having a girl become a magical girl with the wish to rid the world of misfortune (or, alternately, to just kill Kriemhild outright -- which would probably make the new magical girl a witch even more powerful than Kriemhild herself)<br />
* Since she rids the world of misfortune herself in given time that means the witch might just die out once her job is done and all the Incubators would have to do is pick up her huge grief seed afterwards<br />
* It's probable that when Kyubey says Kriemhild will "destroy the planet" he simply means that Kriemhild's barrier will grow to encompass it or that she will wipe out all life on it in favor of her dream world barrier. In the event the latter were the case, Kriemheld could be likened to the biblical Apocalypse. All sinners (misfortune) are destroyed before paradise itself (the witch's barrier) settles on Earth for those still alive<br />
* Kriemhild's Grief Seed has a symbol that resembles [[Astronomy|a shooting star]]. Shooting stars are associated with wishes<br />
* In [[Wikipedia:Goethe's_Faust|Goethe's]] ''[[Speculah:Madoka_Magica_and_Faust|Faust]]'', Gretchen, also known as Margarete, was the name of Faust's lover. She dies at the end of Part 1 of ''Faust'', but returns at the end of Part 2 as a Pentinent in heaven. She is allowed to lead Faust's soul into heaven's higher spheres<br />
**Some studies suggest that Faust refers to the girl as Margarete (meaning ''pearl'') at the beginning because of her purity and innocence, and changes to the diminutive Gretchen after their intercourse, to point out her spoiled purity. In the same way, the fact that this witch is named Gretchen, rather than Margarete, could represent the corruption of Madoka's soul<br />
* [[Wikipedia:Gudrun|Kriemhild]], also known as Gudrun, is a figure from Norse Mythology. She is an important character in the epic poem ''[[Wikipedia:Nibelungenlied|Nibelungenlied]]''. Note also that [http://www.behindthename.com/name/kriemhild Kriemhild comes from the German words] for [[Speculah:Ending_Analysis|"mask"]] and "battle".<br />
* Some have come to believe that the mask shown at the end of the ending credits is actually Kriemhild's face, considering "Kriemhild"'s meaning of "battle mask"<br />
**In the Madoka Magica Online game an accessory named "Faust's Masked" (ファソトマスク) appeared for a limited time. The mask is halved, like Ultimate Kremhild's, and can be equipped to any Magical Girl's face<br />
* Kriemhild Gretchen's appearance as a giant shadow may be based off the phenomenon known as a [[Wikipedia:Brocken_spectre|Brocken spectre]]. In both German folklore and Goethe's ''Faust'', [[Wikipedia:Walpurgis_Night|Walpurgis Night]] occurred on the [[Wikipedia:Brocken|Brocken]], a mountain peak in Germany. The conditions on the Brocken often cause Brocken spectres, which are magnified shadows of climbers being projected onto mist or clouds. Kriemhild Gretchen appears after the witch known as [[Speculah: Walpurgis Night|Walpurgis Night]] is defeated. If this is true, it's also possible that Kriemhild is not as large as she appears<br />
*''[http://gedichte.xbib.de/Goethe_gedicht_Meine+G%F6ttin.htm Meine Göttin]'' ("My Goddess"), also a poem written by Goethe on 15 September 1780 and sent at once to Charlotte von Stein. It was first published in 1789 in Goethes Schriften. Written in hymnic form, the poem is a panegyric of the poetic imagination<br />
<br />
==Trivia==<br />
* [[NewType_2011-07#InuCurry_.28bewitched_space_design.29_and_Yukihiro_Miyamoto_.28series_director.29|According to witch animator and designer InuCurry]], Walpurgis Night's and Kriemhild Gretchen's silhouettes are supposed to make a pair<br />
** [[Puella_Magi_Production_Note#Kriemhild_Gretchen.2C_Timeline_2_Version|Puella Magi Production Note]] further reveals that Kriemhild Gretchen is meant to look like the lower half of a sand timer, while Walpurgis Night looks like the upper half. Interestingly, [[NewType_2011-05#Homura.27s_shield|Homura's shield has also been described as a sand timer]]<br />
*In [[Madoka Magica Portable]], in addition to her ribbon, Kriemhild Gretchen's grief seed is shown with black wings in the Kyoko route. It's also shown with black wings for the witch kiss available in the PSP custom themes available with the limited edition version of the game. Art from Inu Curry's special gallery game bonus reveals another depiction of the grief seed and the interior of the Kriemhild Gretchen, otherwise known as the Witch of Salvation<br />
* Her Doppel form in [[Magia Record]] is based off [https://images.puella-magi.net/9/9b/Witch_of_Salvation_Center.png concept art] by InuCurry for [[Madoka Magica Portable]]. In that game, it was noted to be in the center of the witch and is perhaps her true form<br />

[[File:Wraith Design Gekidan Inu Curry Wraith Arc Tank.png|Wraith types by [[Gekidan Inu Curry]] from ''[[Wraith Arc]]'' volume 1|250px|thumb]]<br />
{{Nihongo|'''Wraiths'''|魔獣|Majū|lit. magical beasts}} are manifestations of grief in the new world recreated by [[Madoka Kaname]]. They replace the witches that magical girls must fight. They resemble tall, statue-like men wearing robes with no visible limbs (though concept art shows them as having hands that shoot thin lasers to attack). Their faces are partially covered by digital polygon-like shapes that appear to glitch out randomly on or around their being.<br />
<br />
==Appearances==<br />
Wraiths first appear at the post-credits scene of [[episode 12]] of the original anime after Madoka's wish erases all the witches and [[Homura Akemi]] is seen fighting several of them afterwards. It is shown that in the new world, magical girls now fight wraiths instead, which are merely a different form of curses born from humanity.<br />
<br />
They appear to travel in large groups and do not reside in barriers, mostly appearing at night, unable to be seen by normal people. It is implied by [[Kyubey]] that they give off miasma in the air, which supposedly points to how many are in a single area. When defeated, wraiths drop (possibly several) small, cubic fragments of their grief similar to witches' grief seeds that can be harvested by magical girls to clean their soul gems and combat entropy (though Kyubey points out that this comes at the expense of energy efficiency).<br />
<br />
Wraiths are mentioned but not seen nor focused on in ''[[Puella Magi Madoka Magica the Movie: Rebellion]]''.<br />
<br />
Wraiths feature prominently in the [[manga]] spin-off ''[[Puella Magi Madoka Magica: Wraith Arc]]'', where they serve as the main antagonistic forces and sources of conflict in the plot, outside of the characters' interactions with one another. ''Wraith Arc'' also gives more information on the nature, behavior, and types of wraiths. Wraiths are shown to be able to affect soul gems (as performed on [[Sayaka Miki]]), steal away magic powers (as performed on [[Homura Akemi]]), take objects (stealing Homura's ribbons from Madoka), and even take on the forms (including memories and intelligence) of magical girls and possibly other human beings.<br />
<br />
==Observations==<br />
* Because Madoka's wish only erased witches, grief was not removed from the new world as Madoka didn't change human nature. As a result, the wraiths are distortions of Madoka's cause and effect of her wish, and give magical girls other means of obtaining grief seeds to clean their soul gems and combat entropy.<br />
* Wraith types are named after Buddhist levels of enlightenment.<br />
** [[wikipedia:Shugend%C5%8D|Shugen]] is a Buddhist term referring to a form of asceticism that involves becoming one with nature/kami/the Tao (the practice tends to be syncretic)<br />
** Satori refers to spiritual awakening and is often translated as "enlightenment", but it's different from Buddhahood. It's more about understanding one's own nature, which is just a step towards complete enlightenment.<br />
** Moksha means emancipation from earthly desires. It's like nirvana, but not quite, since a person undergoing moksha hasn't died yet.<br />
* The wraiths seem to resemble "[[wikipedia:Morrai|moirae]]" from Greek mythology, beings that personified the inescapable destiny of man.<br />
<br />
==Trivia==<br />
* Early fansubs of the anime called wraiths "demons". The name of "wraith" comes from the official translation of the anime.<br />
** The official translations of the manga versions refer to them as "magical beasts". It should be noted, however, that the official manga translations are already inconsistent with the official anime translations.<br />

!From Season 2 to a Movie Trilogy - How It All Started<br />
|-<br />
|style="border-bottom:1px solid lightgrey"|<br />
|-<br />
|style="border-bottom:1px solid lightgrey"|'''Kirara''' What led to the development of the [[Madoka Magica Movie]]s?<br />
|-<br />
|style="border-bottom:1px solid lightgrey"|'''[[Akiyuki Shinbo|Shinbo]]''' Originally, I planned to work on Season 2. When we reviewed [[Gen Urobuchi]]'s sequel proposal, however, we felt that the content was not enough for a full second season. This led producer [[Atsuhiro Iwakami]] to suggest, "With this storyline, wouldn't a movie be better?" For this, we needed to build the connection between the TV series and the new movie, so we started by making the compilation movies.<br />
|-<br />
|style="border-bottom:1px solid lightgrey"|'''Kirara''' Did you plan from the start to make the compilation movies, in addition to the new sequel? Or had you considered making a special TV edition on TV instead?<br />
|-<br />
|style="border-bottom:1px solid lightgrey"|'''Shinbo''' We didn't consider a TV edition. If the sequel was to be a movie, we needed the full story to be available on the big screen. The staff never considered making a TV compilation instead.<br />
|-<br />
|style="border-bottom:1px solid lightgrey"|'''Kirara''' As the supervisor, what is your approach to the series compilation? Do you have an overarching concept in mind?<br />
|-<br />
|style="border-bottom:1px solid lightgrey"|'''Shinbo''' I don't have anything special in mind. For my generation, [[wikipedia:Space_Battleship_Yamato|"Space Battleship Yamato (1974)"]] was definitely the cultural milestone. So in some vague fashion, I want to make something like that. There are plenty of examples for compilation movies.<br />
|-<br />
|style="border-bottom:1px solid lightgrey"|'''Kirara''' Like [[wikipedia:Mobile_Suit_Gundam|"Mobile Suit Gundam (1981)"]] and [[wikipedia:Densetsu_Kyojin_Ideon|"Densetsu Kyojin Ideon (1982)"]]?<br />
|-<br />
|style="border-bottom:1px solid lightgrey"|'''Shinbo''' And [[wikipedia:Nobody%27s_Boy:_Remi|"Homeless Remi (1977)"]] and [[wikipedia:3000_Leagues_in_Search_of_Mother|"3000 Leagues in Search of Mother (1980)"]] as well. Many of these franchises left me with strong impressions. For a niche title to reach the big screens in the form of a movie compilation, I think it is not bad.<br />

!The Compilation Movies Decision and Importance of a Sequel<br />
|-<br />
|style="border-bottom:1px solid lightgrey"|<br />
|-<br />
|style="border-bottom:1px solid lightgrey"|'''Kirara''' When did you really start working on the project?<br />
|-<br />
|style="border-bottom:1px solid lightgrey"|'''Shinbo''' Around the end of 2011; I still remember drafting the storyboard in the first month (of the lunar calendar). I was working even during Lunar New Year's Day (laughter)!<br />
|-<br />
|style="border-bottom:1px solid lightgrey"|'''Kirara''' That's a bit too much (laughter)! Was drafting the storyboard the first step?<br />
|-<br />
|style="border-bottom:1px solid lightgrey"|'''Shinbo''' Not quite. First, I worked with Ms. [[Rie Matsuhara]], editor for the compilation movies, to create a compilation outline. From this outline, we tried to improve weak parts, smooth out any conflicting points, and eliminate unnecessary scenes. Trying to get everything just right. It's an editing-as-we-are-watch feel, scene by scene. The final product was put together this way.<br />
|-<br />
|style="border-bottom:1px solid lightgrey"|'''Kirara''' For the compilation movies, the editor has quite a heavy responsibility.<br />
|-<br />
|style="border-bottom:1px solid lightgrey"|'''Shinbo''' Definitely. Thanks to Ms. Rie, the project proceeded smoothly.<br />
|-<br />
|style="border-bottom:1px solid lightgrey"|'''Kirara''' While we are at it, I want to ask the supervisor - have you ever produced a compilation of your own TV series before?<br />
|-<br />
|style="border-bottom:1px solid lightgrey"|'''Shinbo''' This is my first time.<br />
|-<br />
|style="border-bottom:1px solid lightgrey"|'''Kirara''' Ah, so it's like this.<br />
|-<br />
|style="border-bottom:1px solid lightgrey"|'''Shinbo''' Honestly, not my area of expertise.<br />
|-<br />
|style="border-bottom:1px solid lightgrey"|'''Kirara''' This is a surprise!<br />
|-<br />
|style="border-bottom:1px solid lightgrey"|'''Shinbo''' Even though this was ancient history, before working on the "Soreyuke! Uchuu Senkan Yamamoto Yohko II (1997)" OVAs, I was asked to make the Season 1 compilation. I instantly rejected the offer and suggested someone else (forced laughter). I feel uninspired working on this type of editing work. I always felt, "need to splice this scene, got to add this angle." With existing footage, I am helpless with these ideas.<br />
|-<br />
|style="border-bottom:1px solid lightgrey"|'''Kirara''' Sounds like this is a new challenge to the supervisor.<br />
|-<br />
|style="border-bottom:1px solid lightgrey"|'''Shinbo''' Yes. However, I have Ms. Rie to lead the way (laughter).<br />
|-<br />
|style="border-bottom:1px solid lightgrey"|'''Kirara''' In interviews, you often bring up Rie Matsuhara, Kazuhiko Seki (Editor, ''Sayonara Zetsubou Sensei'') and such editors.<br />
|-<br />
|style="border-bottom:1px solid lightgrey"|'''Shinbo''' Because series editing is a very important job. It's up to the editor to build cohesion within a piece of work. In some ways, editing can be considered the most important part of a project. Additionally, sometimes I will force in some shots that don't really obviously connect. If they do make sense, it's really to the editor's credit. I feel a work's cohesion is largely dependent on the editor.<br />

!Anticipations for the Madoka Magica Movie<br />
|-<br />
|style="border-bottom:1px solid lightgrey"|<br />
|-<br />
|style="border-bottom:1px solid lightgrey"|'''Kirara''' Do you plan to add any new sequences? Redraw existing scenes? The fans are eager to find out what you might do.<br />
|-<br />
|style="border-bottom:1px solid lightgrey"|'''Shinbo''' If we need new scenes to connect sequences together, we'll draw them. Most scenes through wouldn't see much changes. On the other hand, voice acting will be re-recorded, as well as the soundtrack.<br />
|-<br />
|style="border-bottom:1px solid lightgrey"|'''Kirara''' So we can look forward to the higher-fidelity sound in the theater?<br />
|-<br />
|style="border-bottom:1px solid lightgrey"|'''Shinbo''' I plan to redo the original soundtrack in 5.1 surround sound, as well as add new pieces. Additionally in the [[Witch]] sequences, I want to merge the sound and [[runes]] into one form, while retaining [[Gekidan Inu Curry]]'s unique visual presentation. Hopefully this will change the impression slightly.<br />
|-<br />
|style="border-bottom:1px solid lightgrey"|'''Kirara''' What about the ''seiyuu'' side of it?'''<br />
|-<br />
|style="border-bottom:1px solid lightgrey"|'''Shinbo''' Most voice acting was re-recorded, except for some parts of [[Episode 10]]. I am somewhat hesitant on whether to keep the original TV recording for that episode. This work was built on voice acting. Superb voice acting doesn't really need to be redone. Furthermore, with all other parts re-recorded, the contrast will highlight how special Episode 10 is. Right now, the biggest uncertainty is whether to redo Episode 10.<br />
|-<br />
|style="border-bottom:1px solid lightgrey"|'''Kirara''' Besides yourself and Ms. Rie, who else are working on this project?<br />
|-<br />
|style="border-bottom:1px solid lightgrey"|'''Shinbo''' Production is headed by the TV series director [[Yukihiro Miyamoto]], because the atmosphere of the series wouldn't see significant changes. Still, each performance will inevitably bring about slightly different pacing and atmosphere, creating a conflicting feeling. To remove this, we need Mr. Miyamoto to make the necessary adjustments (the timings of animation, special effect directions, design type stuff).<br />
|-<br />
|style="border-bottom:1px solid lightgrey"|'''Kirara''' As Supervisor, do you plan to bring a different style or meaning from the TV version?<br />
|-<br />
|style="border-bottom:1px solid lightgrey"|'''Shinbo''' There will be some difference between the TV and theatrical versions, but my focus is to avoid making our original fans uncomfortable. Because it's an special activity, even if the theatrical presentation and style are not obvious, it would be good enough for the job. Instead of highlighting the theatrical style, what's important is to focus on the ''Madoka Magica'' style. I do believe this type of work will be the best.<br />

!The Franchise's Inspirations and Its Legacy<br />
|-<br />
|style="border-bottom:1px solid lightgrey"|<br />
|-<br />
|style="border-bottom:1px solid lightgrey"|'''Kirara''' Wrapping up, ''Madoka Magica'' has quite an impact since release. Again, what does this franchise mean to you?<br />
|-<br />
|style="border-bottom:1px solid lightgrey"|'''Shinbo''' Through working on this project, I gained many new experiences. For example, this was my first work to be spoofed, and I truly enjoy all the [[fanworks]]. If we include everything that came out, this series probably has had the greatest impact that I worked on. We had some grannies that lived near the studio. When they saw the studio posters, they said "Oh, it's Homura!" For my work to have such widespread recognition, I am overjoyed!<br />
|-<br />
|style="border-bottom:1px solid lightgrey"|'''Kirara''' Do you feel pressured now that you have a larger audience?<br />
|-<br />
|style="border-bottom:1px solid lightgrey"|'''Shinbo''' It really is a sigh of relief, because creating an original work already has significant pressure. If it had failed, people may consider the original magical girl genre as not viable. Not only that, it may also make pitching future original anime more difficult as well. Not being a dud gave me a sigh of relief. At least I didn't kill off this genre. Previous to ''Madoka Magica'', I made the original anime "Le Portrait de Petit Cossette." That ended without much exposure. With that experience, the popularity of this work made me really happy.<br />
|-<br />
|style="border-bottom:1px solid lightgrey"|'''Kirara''' To have consequences for the entire genre, must be scary to be the creative mind behind an original anime.<br />
|-<br />
|style="border-bottom:1px solid lightgrey"|'''Shinbo''' ANIPLEX's "Ano Hana (2011)" was also very successful. With the success of these types of original works, everyone will want to try making their own. This is a great trend. Besides relief, it also made me a bit self-conscious.<br />
|-<br />
|style="border-bottom:1px solid lightgrey"|'''Kirara''' Success made the movie possible, so you must be very grateful?<br />
|-<br />
|style="border-bottom:1px solid lightgrey"|'''Shinbo''' If we can continue this, I want to keep going. I want to discover the big direction in animation. I also want to expand the ''Madoka Magica'' franchise a bit more. For all this, I have to work hard to complete the ''Madoka Magica'' Movie. That's all.<br />

<div>'''Box Wood''' ({{Runes|BOX WOOD}}) is a [[Witch|witch]] that appears in the [[Magia Record Episode 1: Have You Heard? That Rumor About the Magical Girls|first episode]] of the [[Magia Record Anime]]. It is first attacked by [[Iroha Tamaki]] on a train after kidnapping a cat. Later on it appears on the train again with Iroha and [[Kuroe]] where all 3 end up getting transported to Kamihama within [[Zenobia]]'s barrier. It is then caught and subsequently killed by the other witch.<br />

Caption in Official Guideboo : The Stone-dwelling Fish Witch. Her nature is being confined. A witch who collects certain junk and builds a nest within her own barrier. She loves the time she spends holed up in her tube-shaped nest more than anything else. She usually just swims around inside the nest, but if some troublesome intruders come, she threatens them with her frill and attacks them with her body. She was instantly tore up by Sandbox Witch, but she is not particularly weak among witches.

<br />
==Trivia==<br />
* The eye-like design of this Witch can be a reference to a drawing for a flower bed entitled [http://field.c.ooco.jp/subg30.htm "Tearful Eye"] from "MEMO FLORA", Kenji Miyazawa's gardening notebook. This sketch shows the eye-like design of the flower bed and the plants to be planted there, but there is not a name of Boxwood (''[[wikipedia:Buxus|Buxus]]'').<br />
**Boxwood shrub wood has been popularly used for miniature Christian sculptures, instruments, chess pieces, and the handles of daggers.<br />
**Coincidentally, boxwood shrubs are food for the box tree moth, which can devastate a shrub very quickly; this may relate to {{spoiler|Shitori Egumo (Embryo Eve)}}<br />
* [[wikipedia:Yoshiharu Tsuge|Yoshiharu Tsuge]] is Japanese manga artist. His surname "Tsuge" means boxwood in Japanese. The Witch may be referred to him and some of his work.<br />
** ''[[wikipedia:jp:山椒魚 (漫画)|Sanshōuo]]'' (山椒魚, "Salamander") is a monologue story of a giant salamander living in the sewage pipe. He does not remember how long he has lived there. Once he was also uncomfortable in the sewer environment, but eventually he adapted to the environment, his constitution changed, and the sewage became his home where he could behave freely. He enjoys exploring the sewer system and inspecting the flotsams every day. One day, he encountered the strangest flotsam he'd never seen before. It is a dead human fetus flushed down the drain, but he can't understand what it is. He puzzles over what it is for three days, but in the end he has no idea, and finally gets angry, head-butts the flotsam and leaves. The story ends with his monologue in which he looks forward to his next encounter with anything he have not seen yet. <br />
** ''[https://mangapedia.com/%E9%AD%9A%E7%9F%B3-3rynd4sxa Uoishi]'' (魚石, "Stone of Fish") is a story about a questionable stone which is said that fish lives inside.<br />
** ''[[wikipedia:Screw Style|''Nejishiki'']]'' (ねじ式, ''"Screw Style"'') is his most famous work. The scene in which the protagonist with an injured arm, looking for a doctor, wanders into a street full of eye doctors is one of the most famous panel in the manga. The signboard with an eye illustration appearing in that scene, also appears as one of the flotsams in ''Sanshōuo''.<br />
*** The author, Tsuge, said that this story is based on a dream he had while he was sleeping on the roof of a Ramen noodle shop. Noodles that exist inside the Witch and its barrier could be a reference to this.<br />
* It is unclear what the "pasta-shaped god" her description refers to is, but it may refer to the [[wikipedia:Flying_Spaghetti_Monster|Flying Spaghetti Monster]], a deity and accompanying 'religion' created to to satirize and oppose the teaching of intelligent design and creationism (predominantly from Christian beliefs) to children in schools. It has also come to be compared to and used as a modern example of the "Russell's teapot" philisophical argument stating that the burden of providing proof for a claim that cannot be confirmed false lies with the person making the unfalisfiable claim, rather than the ones who reject that claim.<br />
*Box Wood's identity as the "Stone-Dwelling Fish Witch" and the description of its familiars has been provided by Mizuna anon on 4chan's /pmmm/ general. (archival [[:File:4chan_Box_Wood_Familiar_Translation_Small.PNG|images]] [[:File:4chan_Box_Wood_Familiar_Translation_Large.PNG|here]]).<br />

Gen Urobuchi joined the company Nitroplus as a writer and made his debut in 2001 by writing the scenario of the visual novel ''Phantom of Inferno'', which was later adapted into a TV series and OVA series. His writing activity at Nitroplus continued in the following years with the release of ''Vampirdzhija Vjedogonia'', ''Kikokugai - The Cyber Slayer'' and one of his best known works, ''Saya no Uta''. He also actively participated in the company as an advisor to other titles, as well as for the Nitro+Chiral branch. <br />
<br />
In 2004 he was approached by Kinoko Nasu and Takashi Takeuchi of Type-Moon with the offer to write a prequel to ''Fate/Stay Night''. At that time, Urobuchi stated that he was going through a difficult period where he felt like he couldn't write the perfect ending. The offer gave him the chance to write a story where he would not have to worry about this. In the postface of the first ''Fate/Zero'' volume, he states that this opportunity probably saved his writing career.<br />
<br />
When he was 24 years old he had to be hospitalised due to an epidemic. He mentions that spending several months recovering and living like a dead man ended up influenced his work, such as letting him kill off characters without hesitation. Therefore, he is known for writing especially gruesome stories.<br />
<br />
===Involvement in the Magica Quartet===<br />
In Autumn 2008, Urobuchi was called by Iwakami when Shinbo expressed his desire to work on an original Magical Girl anime, project which later became ''Puella Magi Madoka Magica''. He wrote the full script for the series. <br />
<br />
When looking over Shinbo's and Ume Aoki's previous work, Urobuchi decided that he wanted to make a work where the central focus would be the 'friendship between girls'. While working on the story, he mentioned that one of the first priorities was incorporating Ume Aoki's world-view into it. His plot proposal got accepted during the first meeting and the script was not changed much from the first draft. <br />
<br />
The initial intention was to keep his involvement a secret at first, but this was scrapped when the staff list was leaked early during development. Due to Urobuchi's participation and his writing history, the work quickly gained the nickname ''"Chidamari Sketch"'' (chidamari is 'pool of blood') before broadcast, despite his claims of wanting to write a heartwarming story. After episode 3 aired, he apologised for misleading the audience.<br />

==Gen "Urobutcher" Urobuchi's Trail of Tears==<br />
[[File:Gen Urobuchi healing-type writer.png|right|thumb|[http://myanimelist.net/forum/?topicid=281994 Healing Type or Monster?] You decide.]]<br />
*[[Ume Aoki]] was not aware of the true nature of the show until she learned they were planning to kill [[Mami Tomoe]], her favorite character in the show.<br />
*[[Episode 10]] made [[Ume Aoki]] cry multiple times.<br />
*Emiri Kato (VA of Kyubey) is a fan of the Mahou Shoujo genre. She only learned the grim nature of the show when she read the script.<br />
**It also made Emiri Kato [[Blu-Ray_Volume_6_Booklet#Emiri_Katou_.28Kyubey.29_interview|cry]] near the end of the series.<br />
*Shinbo liked Sayaka's character so much that he asked Urobuchi if there was some way to bring her back to life. Urobuchi said no.<br />
*The production staff was attached to the characters and wanted to delay the inevitable [[Ultra Jump EGG Urobuchi Interview|so they could draw them a little longer]]. Urobuchi kept reminded them that no.<br />
*Made [[Spa_Weekly!_2011-07-19#Why_Grown-up_Men_Also_Cried_After_They_Watched_Puella_Magi_Madoka_Magica|grown men]] to shed manly tears.<br />
*Even Urobuchi thinks the ending is [[Shinjidai no Mixture Magazine BLACK PAST|cruel]].<br />
**No kidding. Even Urobuchi admits on the Blu-ray commentary that his own story is hard to watch. <br />
*According with Urobuchi, Magical Girls are not always girls of justice. What some may call justice, it may be evil for others. Good intentions, kindness, and hope will not necessarily make people happy.[http://yaranakya.wordpress.com/2011/08/31/pandoras-box-1-madoka-goes-terrorist/]<br />
*[[Tweets#Gen_Urobuchi.2C_Script_Writer|Being Urobuchi is suffering]]: On one hand, if Urobuchi stopped being Urobuchi he would lead a healthier and happier life. On the other hand, no more [[Madoka Magica]]. This is clearly the definition of Sophie's choice.<br />
*Gen Urobuchi admits to [[Puella_Magi_Madoka_Magica_Official_Guidebook_%22You_Are_Not_Alone%22#PAGE_100| bullying]] Sayaka, even from the initial proposal idea for the anime.<br />
**Gen Urobuchi is still [[Madoka_PSP_Promotional_Event#Tokushima_Event|not done with bullying Sayaka.]]<br />
***Boy, [[Dengeki PlayStation 2012-02|he wasnt kidding.]]<br />
****The man is a [[:file:Sayaka rotten body PSP game shadow.jpg|monster.]] <br />
*****He promises more [http://www.animenewsnetwork.com/convention/2012/otakon/4 Sayaka suffering] in the movie.<br />
******<i>Q: What is your favorite Madoka character?<br>A: I liked writing Sayaka's story the most, so it would be her.[http://pastebin.com/BHgRHdZu]</i><br />
*In the audio commentary for [[Episode 12]], when Chiwa Saito and Aoi Yuuki asked for a bit of happiness for their characters (and themselves) in the alleged second season, Gen Urobuchi was ambiguous about giving a happy ending.<br />
**Ume Aoki points out that Gen Urobuchi doesn't give out happiness that easily.<br />
**Apparently, the extent of his generosity in giving away some happiness (relatively speaking) is proof enough that he can make a happy story. He calls this ''"his proof"''.<br />
***Then again he cant help himself by teasing them with a final and ambiguous answer regarding some future happiness if a second season is ever made.<br />
*Urobuchi will never give Sayaka her happy ending. Well, at least [[Puella_Magi_Madoka_Magica_Official_Guidebook_"You_Are_Not_Alone"#Page_120|not with Kyousuke]] as [[Yuri_undertones#Sayaka_and_Kyoko|her love interest.]]<br />
*Chiwa Saito ([[Homura]]) confesses that when she saw Kyoko's sacrifice scene in [[Episode 9]], with Aoi Yuuki ([[Madoka]]) and Emiri Kato ([[Kyubey]]), they all cried.<br />
*He took away Naked Space Hug from the [[:file:No more naked space hugs.png| movie version of Madoka.]]<br />
*Remember how Yuno (Kana Asumi), from Hidamari Sketch, was the only one to not appear on the Madoka series to suffer under Gen Urobuchi's hands? Well, [http://www.animenewsnetwork.co.uk/interest/2013-09-02/kana-asumi-voices-new-magical-girl-in-3rd-madoka-magica-film about that...]<br />
*The ending of [[The Rebellion Story/Spoiler|"Rebellion"]], he robbed us of our happy ending.<br />
**To be fair, [[Rebellion_Material_Book#Message_from_Gen_Urobuchi_.28Screenplay.29|Shinbo thought of it first]]. From the start, Urobuchi planned to have Madoka take Homura with her, thus creating a [[Talk:Gen_Urobuchi#happy_ending|"happy ending"]] of sorts, but decided it wouldn't be a good enough ending. Then, Shinbo suggested the concept "Madoka and Homura into enemies”, Urobuchi accepted the idea and admitted that this was a breakthrough for him. Urobuchi believes that Rebellion got a [[Talk:Gen_Urobuchi#happy_ending|happy ending]] for at least its main character, Homura.<br />
*''"Sometimes when I see someone who's a spirit of justice… I feel like I want to destroy them!"''[http://www.animenewsnetwork.com/interview/2014-09-17/gen-urobuchi/.78542]<br />
<br />
==Trivia==<br />
*In his [[Kirara Magica Interview Gen|interview with Kirara Magica]], Gen Urobuchi never actually planned for a sequel while writing the original series. Whenever he talked about it he was just joking.<br />
**As a result, Gen Urobuchi had to come up with a new plot for his sequel that it was then turned into a movie as the content was too short for a TV series format.<br />

The cast of Mahou Shoujo Madoka Magica are students of [[Mitakihara Middle School]]. Even though it is merely a middle school, coursework in Mitakihara can be quite challenging. The following are Math problems that have appeared thus far in the show, and their solutions:<br />
<br />
==Episode 1==<br />
[[file:Episode One Algebra.jpg|thumb|Episode one Math question 1]]<br />
<br />
===Question 1===<br />
Any integer divided by 14 will have a remainder between 0 and 13. Given that <math>a</math> has a remainder of 6 and <math>b</math> has a remainder of 1 when divided by 14, what is the remainder of <math>x</math> when divided by 14, given <math>x</math> is an integer solution to <math>x^2-2ax+b=0</math>?<br />
<br />
'''Solution:'''<br />
<br />
This problem can be solved simply with [[wikipedia:Modular arithmetic|modular arithmetic]]:<br />
<br />
*<math>a \equiv 6 \pmod{14}</math>;<br />
*<math>b \equiv 1 \pmod{14}</math>.<br />
<br />
*<math>\displaystyle{x^2 - 2ax + b = 0}</math> implies<br />
<br />
*<math>x^2 - 12x + 1 \equiv 0 \pmod{14}</math><br />
<br />
*<math>x^2 + 2x + 1 \equiv 0 \pmod{14} </math> (because <math>-12 \equiv 2 \pmod{14}</math>)<br />
<br />
*<math>(x + 1)^2 \equiv 0 \pmod{14} </math><br />
<br />
*<math> x + 1 \equiv 0 \pmod{14} </math> (because 14 is square-free)<br />
<br />
*<math> x \equiv 13 \pmod{14}</math> (because <math> -1 \equiv 13 \pmod{14}</math>).<br />
<br />
'''Second Solution:'''<br />
<br />
Homura used in Episode 1 a basic approach with usual integer [[wikipedia:arithmetic|arithmetic]].<br />
<br />
Let <math>\displaystyle{x = 14q + r, a = 14s + 6, b = 14t + 1} </math>.<br />
<br />
Substitute into <math> \displaystyle{x^2 - 2ax + b = 0} </math> to get after some calculations<br />
<br />
<math>\displaystyle{x^2 - 2ax + b = 14c + (r+1)^2 = 0} \mbox{ with } \displaystyle{c = 14q^2 + 2q - 28qs - 2rs - 12q + t - r}</math><br />
<br />
14 divides <math>14c</math> and 0, hence it also divides <math>(r+1)^2</math>. This implies that <math>r+1</math> is divisible by 14.<br />
<br />
The question asks for a remainder <math>r</math> between 0 and 13, so we obtain <math>r = 13</math>.<br />
<br />

<br />
===Question 2===<br />
[[file:Episode One Math Q2.jpg|thumb|Episode one Math question 2]]<br />
Assuming that <math>p</math> is a prime number and <math>n</math> is an arbitrary natural number, prove that <math>(1+n)^p - n^p - 1 \,</math> is divisible by <math>p</math>.<br />
<br />
'''Solution:'''<br />
<br />
By [[wikipedia:Fermat's Little Theorem|Fermat's Little Theorem]], for any prime <math>p</math> and integer <math>a</math>,<br />
<br />
<math> a^p \equiv a \pmod{p} \,</math><br />
<br />
Thus:<br />
<br />
<math>(1+n)^p - n^p - 1 \pmod{p} \,</math> is equivalent to<br />
<br />
<math>(1+n) - n - 1 \pmod{p} \,</math> is equivalent to<br />
<br />
<math>0 \pmod{p} \,</math><br />
<br />
So the overall expression is divisible by <math>p</math>.<br />
<br />
<br />
'''Second solution:'''<br />
<br />
The problem can be solved with the [[wikipedia:binomial theorem|binomial theorem]]:<br />
<br />
For <math>a, b</math> not equal to <math>0</math> and nonnegative integer <math>p</math> it holds that:<br />
<br />
<math>\displaystyle (a + b)^p = \sum_{k=0}^{p} \binom{p}{k} a^{p-k} b^k</math><br />
<br />
where the binomial coefficient <math>\binom{p}{k}</math> is the integer <math>\frac{p(p - 1) \cdots (p - k + 1)}{k(k-1) \cdots 1} </math> for <math>0 \leq k \leq p</math>.<br />
<br />
Therefore,<br />
<br />
<math>\displaystyle (1 + n)^p = \sum_{k=0}^{p} \binom{p}{k} n^k</math><br />
<br />
and<br />
<br />
<math>\displaystyle (1 + n)^p - n^p - 1 = \sum_{k = 1}^{p - 1} \binom{p}{k} n^k</math><br />
<br />
since <math>\binom{p}{0} = \binom{p}{p} = 1</math>.<br />
<br />
<br />
It holds that <math>\binom{p}{1} = p </math>.<br />
Since <math>p</math> is a prime number, the factor <math>p</math> in <math>\binom{p}{k}</math> is not divisible by <math>k, k-1,\ldots, 2</math> for <math>2 \leq k \leq p-1</math>.<br />
Therefore, <math>p</math> divides <math>\binom{p}{k}</math> for <math>1 \leq k \leq p-1</math>.<br />
<br />
Since each summand on the right side is divisible by <math>p</math>, the whole sum, i.e. the left side is also divisible by <math>p</math>.<br />
<br />
===Question 3===<br />
[[file:Episode One Math Q3.jpg|thumb|Episode one Math question 3]]<br />
<br />
Find the integer solutions <math>(a,b)</math> with <math>(a^3 + a^2 - 1) - (a - 1)b = 0 \,</math>.<br />
<br />
'''Solution:'''<br />
[[file:Episode One Math S3.jpg|thumb|Episode one Math solution to question 3]]<br />
<br />
<math><br />
\begin{align}<br />
(&a^3 + a^2 - 1) - (a - 1)b \\<br />
& = (a^3 - 1) + (a^2 - 1) + 1 - (a - 1)b \\<br />
& = (a - 1)(a^2 + a + 1) + (a - 1)(a + 1) + 1 - (a - 1)b \\<br />
& = (a - 1)(a^2 + 2a - b + 2) + 1 = 0<br />
\end{align}<br />
</math><br />
<br />
Therefore,<br> <br />
<math>(a - 1)(a^2 + 2a - b + 2) = -1 \,</math><br />
<br />
<math>a, b</math> are integers, therefore the factors <math>a - 1</math> and <math>a^2 + 2a - b + 2 \,</math> are integers too. Since the product is <math>-1</math>, one of the factors must be equal to <math>-1</math>, the other to <math>1</math>.<br />
<br />
If <math>a - 1 = -1</math> then <math>a = 0</math> and from <math>a^2 + 2a - b + 2 = 1 \,</math> we obtain <math>b = 1</math>.<br />
<br />
If <math>a - 1 = 1</math> then <math>a = 2</math> and <math>a^2 + 2a - b + 2 = -1 \,</math> implies that <math>b = 11</math>.<br />
<br />
There are two integer solutions: <math>(a,b) = (0,1) \,</math> or <math>(a,b) = (2,11) \,</math>.<br />
<br />
'''Second Solution'''<br />
<br />
The question can also be solved by polynomial division.<br />
<br />
<math>(a^3 + a^2 - 1) - (a - 1)b = 0 \,</math><br />
<br />
<math> b = \frac{a^3 + a^2 - 1}{a - 1} = a^2 + 2a + 2 + \frac{1}{a - 1} \,</math><br />
<br />
As <math>b \in \mathbb{Z}</math>, <math> a^2 + 2a + 2 + \frac{1}{a - 1} \in \mathbb{Z}</math>, so <math> \frac{1}{a - 1} \in \mathbb{Z}</math><br />
<br />
As <math> 1 </math> has only two factors: <math>1</math> and <math>-1</math>, <br />
<br />
<math> a-1 = 1 \,</math> or <math> a-1 = -1 \,</math><br />
<br />
<math> a = 2 \,</math> or <math> a = 0 \,</math><br />
<br />
Substituting the above values into the equation to find the corresponding <math> b </math>, we have <br />
<br />
<math> (a, b) = (0, 1) \,</math> or <math> (2, 11) </math>.<br />
<br />
===Question 4===<br />
[[file:Episode One Math Q4.jpg|thumb|Episode one Math question 4]]<br />
Given <math>\displaystyle F(x) = \frac{4x + \sqrt{4x^2 - 1}}{\sqrt{2x + 1} + \sqrt{2x-1}}</math>,<br />
<br />
find the sum of <math> \displaystyle{F(1)+F(2)+F(3)+...+F(60)}</math>.<br />
<br />
'''Solution:'''<br />
[[file:Episode One Math S4.jpg|thumb|Episode one Math, partial solution to question 4. Note that there are errors.]]<br />
<br />
Simplying the fraction:<br />
<br />
Notice that for any variables <math>a</math> and <math>b</math>:<br />
<br />
<math> \displaystyle{(a-b)(a+b) = a^2-b^2} </math>. <br />
<br />
Let <math> \displaystyle{a = \sqrt{2x + 1}} </math> and <math> \displaystyle{b = \sqrt{2x - 1}} </math>. <br />
<br />
Multiply <math>\displaystyle{F(x)}</math> by 1 or <math>\displaystyle{\frac{a-b}{a-b}}</math> which is equal to <math> \displaystyle{\frac{\sqrt{2x + 1} - \sqrt{2x - 1}}{\sqrt{2x + 1} - \sqrt{2x - 1}}} </math>. The denominator becomes:<br />
<br />
<math><br />
\begin{align}<br />
&(\sqrt{2x + 1} + \sqrt{2x - 1})(\sqrt{2x + 1} - \sqrt{2x - 1})\\<br />
&= (2x + 1) - (2x - 1)\\<br />
&= 2<br />
\end{align}<br />
</math><br />
<br />
The numerator becomes:<br />
<br />
<math><br />
\begin{align}<br />
&(4x + \sqrt{4x^2 - 1} ) (\sqrt{2x + 1} - \sqrt{2x - 1})\\ <br />
<br />
&=(4x + \sqrt{(2x)^2 - 1)}) (a - b)\\<br />
<br />
&=(4x + \sqrt{2x - 1} \sqrt{2x + 1} ) (a-b)\\<br />
<br />
&=(4x + a b ) (a - b)\\<br />
<br />
&=4x (a - b) + a^2 b - a b^2\\<br />
<br />
&=4x (a - b) + (2x + 1) b - a (2x - 1)\\<br />
<br />
&=4x (a - b) - 2x (a - b) + a + b\\<br />
<br />
&=2x ( a - b) + a + b\\<br />
<br />
&=(2x + 1) a - (2x - 1) b\\<br />
<br />
&=a^3 - b^3<br />
<br />
\end{align}<br />
<br />
</math><br />
<br />
Therefore:<br />
<br />
<math> \displaystyle {F(x) = \frac{a^3 - b^3 }{2}} </math><br />
<br />
Note that when <math> \displaystyle{ x = 1, 2, 3, 4, \ldots, 60} </math>;<br />
<br />
<math> \displaystyle{ a^3 = 3^\frac{3}{2}, 5^\frac{3}{2}, 7^\frac{3}{2}, 9^\frac{3}{2}, \ldots, 119^\frac{3}{2}, 121^\frac{3}{2}} </math>;<br />
<br />
<math> \displaystyle{ b^3 = 1^\frac{3}{2}, 3^\frac{3}{2}, 5^\frac{3}{2}, 7^\frac{3}{2}, 9^\frac{3}{2}, \ldots, 119^\frac{3}{2} } </math>;<br />
<br />
Taking the sum over <math> \displaystyle{F(x)} </math> for <math> \displaystyle{x} </math> between <math>1</math> and <math>60</math>, observe that the majority of the terms in <math> \displaystyle{a^3} </math> and <math> \displaystyle{b^3} </math> cancel out, leaving:<br />
<br />
<math><br />
\begin{align}<br />
\sum_{x=1}^{60}F(x) &= \frac{121^\frac{3}{2} - 1^\frac{3}{2}}{2}\\<br />
&=\frac{(11^2)^\frac{3}{2} - 1}{2}\\<br />
&= 665<br />
\end{align}<br />
</math><br />
<br />
Thus, sum of <math> \displaystyle{F(x)} </math> for <math> \displaystyle{x} </math> between <math>1</math> and <math>60</math> is <math>665</math>. The solution can be generalized as equal to <math> \displaystyle{\frac{a(x_{\max}^3) - b(x_{\min}^3)}{2}} </math>. Where <math> \displaystyle{a} </math> and <math> \displaystyle{b} </math> are interpreted as functions of <math> \displaystyle{x} </math>.<br />
<br />
==Episode 8==<br />
Homura predicted the location of [[Walpurgis Night]] to be the clock tower using [[wikipedia:Statistics|statistics]]. The material Homura presents to Kyoko shows what looks like a [[wikipedia:Sinusoidal model|sinusoidal regression]], where a time series data is assumed to be following a sine curve over time and the properties (amplitude, frequency, phase) of the sine wave is predicted through statistics. For the purpose of predicting the location of [[Walpurgis Night]], statistics done this way would use geographic coordinates (longitude and latitude) as observed data points and attempt to fit two different sine waves to data, one for longitude and one for latitude. The fact that a large pendulum exists in Homura's room may be viewed as supporting this interpretation that what Homura used was a sinusoidal regression, because the mechanical movement of a pendulum also follows a sinusoidal pattern.<br />
<br />
Irrespective of what type of statistics was used, the fact that [[Walpurgis Night]] actually appeared at the predicted location indicates that the model fitted the data very well with only a negligible amount of error.<br />
<br />
==Episode 9==<br />
[[File:Episode 9 Math.png|thumb|Fibonacci sequence question that appeared in Episode 9]]<br />
<br />
This advanced [[wikipedia:Algebra|Algebra]] problem previously appeared in the first '''[[wikipedia:Tokyo University|Tokyo University]]''' Entrance Exam:<br />
<br />
===Problem===<br />
A number sequence <math> \displaystyle{ \{F(n)\} }</math> that can be defined as <math> \displaystyle{F(1) = 1, F(2) = 1}</math>, <math> \displaystyle{F(n+2) = F(n) + F(n+1)} </math> (where <math> \displaystyle{n \in \mathbb{N}} </math>) is called the [[wikipedia:Fibonacci number|Fibonacci sequence]] and its general solution is given by, <br />
<br />
<math>\displaystyle{F(n) = \frac{\varphi^{n} - (-1/\varphi)^{n}}{\sqrt{5}}}</math><br />
<br />
<math>\displaystyle{\varphi = \frac{1 + \sqrt{5}}{2} \approx 1.6180339887 \dots}</math><br />
<br />
Answer the following questions by using this fact if needed:<br />
<br />
Define a sequence of natural numbers <math> \displaystyle{ \{X(n)\} } </math> (where n is any natural number), in which each digit is either 0 or 1, set by the following rules:<br />
<br />
(i) <math> \displaystyle{X(1) = 1} </math><br />
<br />
(ii) We define <math> \displaystyle{X(n+1)} </math> as a natural number, which can be obtained by replacing the digits of <math> \displaystyle{X(n)} </math> with 1 if the digit is 0, and with 10 if the digit is 1.<br />
<br />
For example, <math> \displaystyle{X(1) = 1, X(2) = 10, X(3) = 101, X(4) = 10110, X(5) = 10110101, \ldots} </math> <br />
<br />
'' '''Anecdote''': <math> \displaystyle{X(n)} </math> can be considered a clever analogy to the show, where [[Episode 10]] should replaces [[Episode 1]] and [[Episode 1]] replaces Episode 0 in the viewer's next viewing.''<br />
<br />
(1) Find <math> \displaystyle{A(n)} </math>, defined as the number of digits of <math> \displaystyle{X(n)} </math>.<br />
<br />
(2) Find <math> \displaystyle{B(n)} </math>, defined as the numbers of times '01' appears in <math> \displaystyle{X(n)} </math>?<br />
For example, <math> \displaystyle{B(1) = 0, B(2) = 0, B(3) = 1, B(4) = 1, B(5) = 3, \ldots} </math><br />
<br />
<br />
===Solution===<br />
====Part 1====<br />
<br />
Let <math> \displaystyle{A(n)} </math> equal to the number of digits in <math>X(n)</math>, which consists solely of 1s and 0s. Let's suppose <math> \displaystyle{x(n)} </math> is the number of 0s in <math> \displaystyle{X(n)} </math> at the n-th iteration (poor choice of variable by the student). Let's suppose <math> \displaystyle{y(n)} </math> is the number of 1s in <math> \displaystyle{X(n)} </math> in the n-th iteration, then <math> \displaystyle{x(n) + y(n) = A(n)} </math>. Since<br />
*Every time a 0 appears, it is replaced with 1 at the next iteration, contributing to a single 1 in <math> \displaystyle{X(n+1)} </math>.<br />
*Every time a 1 appears, it is replaced with 10 at the next iteration, contributing to a single 1 and a single 0 in <math>X(n+1)</math>.<br />
it follows that the number of 0s in the next iteration is equal to the number of 1s previously: <br />
<br />
<math> \displaystyle{x(n+1)= y(n)}</math> ;<br />
<br />
and the number of 1s in the next iteration is equal to the number of 0s AND the numbers of 1s previously:<br />
<br />
<math>y(n+1)= \displaystyle{x(n)+y(n)} </math> .<br />
<br />
<br />
Next, prove that <math>x(n)</math> is a Fibonacci sequence, since we know that:<br />
<br />
*<math> \displaystyle{y(n+1) = x(n) + y(n)} </math> ;<br />
*<math> \displaystyle{x(n+2) = y(n+1)} </math> ;<br />
*<math> \displaystyle{x(n+1) = y(n)} </math> ;<br />
<br />
by substition we can show,<br />
<br />
<math><br />
\begin{align}<br />
&x(n+2)\\ <br />
&= y(n+1)\\<br />
&= x(n) + y(n)\\<br />
&= x(n) + x(n+1)<br />
\end{align}<br />
</math><br />
<br />
Hence, <math> \displaystyle{x(n+2) = x(n+1) + x(n)}</math>.<br />
<br />
Thus <math> \displaystyle{x(n)} </math> fits the definition of a Fibonacci sequence. Since <math> \displaystyle{x(n)} </math> is a Fibonacci sequence, it follows that <math> \displaystyle{y(n)} </math> is also a Fibonacci sequence (given that <math> \displaystyle{x(n+1) = y(n)}</math>). Therefore, since it has already been shown that:<br />
<br />
*<math> \displaystyle{x(n+2)=x(n+1)+x(n)} </math><br />
<br />
*<math> \displaystyle{y(n+2)=y(n+1)+y(n)} </math><br />
<br />
It follows that <math> \displaystyle {x(n+2)+y(n+2)=x(n+1)+y(n+1)+x(n)+y(n)} </math>.<br />
<br />
Recall that <math> \displaystyle{A(n)=x(n)+y(n)} </math>, therefore<br />
<br />
:<math> \displaystyle{A(n+2)=A(n+1)+A(n)} </math> .<br />
<br />
Since, <math> \displaystyle{X(1) = 1, X(2) = 10, X(3) = 101, X(4) = 10110, X(5) = 10110101, \ldots} </math><br />
<br />
It follows that <math> \displaystyle{A(1) = 1, A(2) = 2, A(3) = 3, A(4) = 5, A(5) = 8, \ldots} </math><br />
<br />
Recall by definition of the Fibonacci sequence: <math> \displaystyle{\{F(n)\} = \{1, 1, 2, 3, 5, 8, \ldots\}} </math>. Therefore <math> \displaystyle{A(n) = F(n+1)} </math>, or<br />
<br />
<math>\displaystyle{A(n) = F(n+1) = \frac{\varphi^{n+1} - (-1/\varphi)^{n+1}}{\sqrt{5}}}</math><br />
<br />
====Part 2====<br />
<br />
Let <math>B(n)</math> be the number of times the sequence <math>01</math> appears in <math>X(n)</math>. Any two digits in <math>X(n)</math> may be <math>00</math>, <math>01</math>, <math>10</math>, <math>11</math>, and the corresponding digits in the next iteration <math>X(n+1)</math> will be<br />
<br />
*<math> 00 \rightarrow 11</math><br />
*<math> 01 \rightarrow 110</math><br />
*<math> 10 \rightarrow 101</math><br />
*<math> 11 \rightarrow 1010</math><br />
<br />
Thus, any two digit sequence in <math>X(n)</math> that begins with 1* will contribute to a <math>01</math> sequence in the next iteration. In other words, <math>B(n+1)</math> equals <math>y(n)</math>, except when unit digit of <math>X(n)</math> is 1, or:<br />
<br />
<math>B(n+1) = y(n) - odd(X(n))</math><br />
<br />
where<br />
*<math>odd(n) = 1</math> if <math>n</math> is odd (unit digit is 1)<br />
*<math>odd(n) = 0</math> if <math>n</math> is even (unit digit is 0)<br />
<br />
It can be seen that <math>odd(n) = odd(X(n))</math> for all <math>n</math>. To prove this inductively: observe that <math>odd(X(1)) = odd(1)</math>. Now let <math>odd(X(n)) = odd(n)</math>, then if <math>n</math> is even, <math>X(n)</math> is even, thus <math>X(n)</math> ends with 0, which gets mapped to 1, making <math>X(n+1)</math> odd and so <math>odd(X(n+1)) = odd(n+1)</math>. And if <math>n</math> is odd, then <math>X(n)</math> is odd, thus <math>X(n)</math> ends with 1, which gets mapped to 10, making <math>X(n+1)</math> even, and so <math>odd(X(n+1)) = odd(n+1)</math>.<br />
<br />
<math>y(n)</math> is a fibonacci sequence with starting values: <math>y(1) = 1</math>, <math>y(2) = 1</math>, <math>y(3) = 2</math>, thus <math>y(n) = F(n)</math><br />
<br />
<math>B(n+1) = F(n) - odd(n)</math><br />
<br />
<math>B(n) = F(n-1) - odd(n-1)</math>, or<br />
<br />
<math>\displaystyle{B(n) = F(n-1) - odd(X(n-1)) = \frac{\varphi^{n-1} - (-1/\varphi)^{n-1}}{\sqrt{5}} - odd(X(n-1))}</math><br />

== Movie 3: Rebellion ==<br />
[[File:Rebellion Math 1.jpg|thumb]]<br />
<br />
=== Problem A ===<br />
<br />
The first problem posed, (a), was to calculate <math>\int\frac{\arcsin^3x}{\sqrt{1-x^2}}\,dx</math><br />
<br />
We can perform the substitution <math>u=\arcsin x \longrightarrow \frac{du}{dx}=\frac{1}{\sqrt{1-x^2}}</math> and so rewrite the integral as <math>\int u^3\,du</math><br />
<br />
This can be easily solved via basic integration formulas: <math>\int u^3\,du=\frac{1}{4}u^4+C</math><br />
<br />
Undoing the substitution we get the solution: <math>\frac{1}{4}\arcsin^4x + C</math><br />
<br />
=== Problem B ===<br />
<br />
The second problem, (b), was to calculate <math>\int x\ln(x^2+y)\,dx</math><br />
In order to solve it we'll assume <math>\displaystyle y</math> to be a parameter independent from the value of <math>\displaystyle x</math> and <math>\displaystyle\ln x</math> to denote the natural logarithm of <math>\displaystyle x</math>.<br />
<br />
Performing the substitution <math>u=x^2+y\longrightarrow\frac{du}{dx}=2x</math> we can rewrite the integral as <math>\frac{1}{2}\int\ln u\,du</math><br />
<br />
This can be solved integrating by parts: <math>\frac{1}{2}\int \ln u\,du=\frac{1}{2}(u\ln u - \int1\,du)=\frac{1}{2}u(\ln u - 1)</math><br />
<br />
And the final answer in obtained undoing the substitution: <math>\frac{1}{2}(x^2+y)\ln((x^2+y)-1)+C</math><br />
<br />
=== Problem C ===<br />
<br />
One of the problems posed, (c), was to calculate <math>\int\frac{x^3+2x^2+10x}{x^2-x+1}\, dx</math>.<br />
<br />
The answer is to first simplify the function:<br />
<math>\frac{x^3+2x^2+10x}{x^2-x+1} = x + 3 + \frac{12x - 3}{x^2-x+1} = x + 3 + 6\frac{2x - 1}{x^2-x+1} + \frac{3}{x^2-x+1}</math>.<br />
Note that <math>x^2-x+1</math> has only simple complex zeros.<br />
<br />
It holds <math>\int x + 3 \, dx = \frac{1}{2}x^2 + 3x + C</math>. <br />
<br />
The general formula <math>\int\frac{f'(x)}{f(x)}\, dx = \ln|f(x)| dx + C</math> can be used to calculate <math>\int \frac{2x - 1}{x^2-x+1} \, dx = \ln(x^2-x+1) + C</math>.<br />
<br />
<br />
For the last term, <math>\int\frac{dx}{a^2 + x^2} = \frac{1}{a}\arctan \frac{x}{a} + C</math> can be used (with some additional calculations) to obtain the solution<br />
<br />
<math>\int\frac{x^3+2x^2+10x}{x^2-x+1}\, dx = \frac{1}{2}x^2 + 3x + 6\ln(x^2-x+1) + 2\sqrt{3} \arctan \frac{2x-1}{\sqrt{3}} + C</math></div>N. Harmonikhttps://wiki.puella-magi.net/w/index.php?title=Gertrud&diff=110412Gertrud2021-09-02T22:04:18Z<p>N. Harmonik: </p>

==History==<br />
===Original Anime===<br />
Gertrud's barrier appears in [[Episode 1]] along with her Anthony. Gertrud makes her first appearance in [[Episode 2]] along with Adelbert.<br />
<br />
In Episode 1, [[Madoka]] and [[Sayaka]] are ambushed by Gertrud's barrier after saving [[Kyubey]] from [[Homura]]. They're surrounded by Anthony but are quickly saved by [[Mami]]. All three girls later hunt down Gertrud in Episode 2. They find a woman attempting to commit suicide after having Gertrud's witch kiss placed on her but Mami saves her in time. Mami defeats numerous Anthony and Adelbert before finishing off Gertrud at the deepest part of her labyrinth.<br />
<br />
Anthony are shown to attack with black scissors and their faces change drastically when doing so, they seem to have high pitched voices. Adelbert appear in two forms, large and small - the latter often coming in groups of three. They seem to only attack by flying towards their enemy. Gertrud is seen attacking with her red chair and using scissors like Anthony.<br />
<br />
===The Rebellion Story===<br />
Anthony make a reappearance in [[The Rebellion Story]] as rental versions, leant out to Sayaka and Oktavia. They appear more like Oktavia with a mermaid tail instead of their butterfly wings. Adelbert also make a brief appearance. Gertrud also makes a cameo appearance during Homura's explanation of witches as well as in the ending where a bottle full of flowers has her name on in Runes.<br />

Gertrud appears in the [[Puella Magi Madoka Magica Manga|original manga]] just the same as she does in the anime. However she, her familiars and witch kiss don a slightly different appearance and her labyrinth is much more simple. Despite this, her Grief Seed retains the same appearance.<br />
<br />
Rental Anthony reappear in the [[Rebellion Manga]] fighting alongside the magical girls. They also appear in the new world and Gertrud makes her cameo while Homura reminisces about witches.<br />
<br />
Gertrud and Anthony appear in the spin-off [[The Veranda of Madoka]] briefly. Mami and Kyoko enter Gertrud's labyrinth on an extremely hot day and Kyoko thinks it's better to stay in the labyrinth since it's much cooler than outside.<br />
<br />
Gertrud further makes a cameo in [[Puella Magi Oriko Magica: Extra Story]] as Kyubey explains witches to [[Kirika]]<br />
<br />
===Madoka Magica Portable===<br />
Gertrud and her familiars reappear in [[Madoka Magica Portable]]. Gertrud and her familiars appear in [[Madoka Magica Portable Madoka Route|Madoka's Route]] and [[Madoka Magica Portable Homura Route|Homura's Route]]. Only her familiars appear in [[Madoka Magica Portable Mami Route|Mami's Route]] and [[Madoka Magica Portable Sayaka Route|Sayaka's Route]]. She appears as the final boss of the mysterious witch's barrier, the joyful barrier.<br />
<br />
During her fight, Gertrud sits at the back of the boss room and summons Anthony to fight the magical girl. Once the magical girl gets too close for too long, Gertrud will fly to another edge of the arena. She only attacks herself when a magical girl is directly in front of her. Once defeated she falls down and butterflies cover the screen just like her anime death. Her Grief Seed can be collected to cleanse a magical girl's Soul Gem during battle.<br />
<br />
===Magia Record===<br />
Gertrud and Anthony make an appearance in Magia Record. Gertrud's description stays the same as her original anime description however Anthony's description differs.<br />
<br />
====Anthony bio====<br />
Minions of the witch of rose gardens. Their role is to do landscaping.<br />
The witch styles their mustaches for them.<br />
They originally resided in a place called [[Mitakihara City|Mitakihara]], but due to their wholehearted desire to grow more beautiful roses in rich, fertile soil for their master, they unleashed their pioneering spirit and marched right on over to [[Kamihama City|Kamihama]]. They happily carry on gardening even in barriers besides their master’s, so some witches see them as a huge nuisance.<br />
Incidentally, due to the sheer density of witch barriers fighting each other for space in Kamihama, it’s hardly unusual to see a given witch’s minions wandering around other witches’ barriers.<br />
<br />
===Magia Record Anime===<br />
Gertrud makes a brief appearance in [[Magia Record Episode 11: Memory Museum at 3:00 PM|Magia Record Episode 11]]. The labyrinth created from Gertrud's appearance steals [[Sana Futaba]]'s coaster and her, [[Iroha Tamaki]], [[Tsuruno Yui]] and [[Felicia Mitsuki]] travel into the labyrinth to find it. The Anthony take their findings to the top of the labyrinth, noticeably taking Sana's coaster. They destroy any finding that isn't a rose so the girls quickly reach the top to save the coaster. Quickly after, a stone rose at the top of the labyrinth breaks to reveal Gertrud herself. The girls aren't shown fighting the witch but are shown holding her [[Grief Seed]] afterwards.<br />
<br />
==Note==<br />
In [[Episode 1]], Anthonys are seen surrounding Sayaka and Madoka and yelling the following German phrases in a distorted manner:<br />
{| class="wikitable" style="line-height: 1.6em;"<br />
! style="width: 50%;" | Original<br />
! style="width: 50%;" | English Translation<br />
|-<br />
|Das sind mir unbekannte Blumen.<br/>Ja. Sie sind mir auch unbekannt.<br/>Schneiden wir sie ab?<br/>Ja. Schneiden wir sie ab!<br/>Die Rosen schenken wir unsrer Königin.<br/>Und die schlechten Blumen<br/>steigen auf die Guillotine.<br/>Ja. Schneide sie ab!<br/>Ja. Schneide sie heraus!<br />
|Those flowers are unknown to me.<br/>Yes. They are also unknown to me.<br/>Shall we cut them off?<br/>Yes. Let us cut them off.<br/>We present the roses to our queen.<br/>And the bad flowers<br/>go to the guillotine.<br/>Yes. Cut them off!<br/>Yes. Cut them out! <br />
|}<br />
<br />
==Observations==<br />
*A red rose is commonly associated with romance, passion, humility and romance however a rotten rose could signify the corruption of these values which result from Gertrud's transformation into a witch<br />
*Scissors used to be placed next to beds in older times to ward off changelings from replacing human children, since Gertrud has butterfly wings this could be a reference to them<br />
**Scissors are also commonly used as a symbol in relation to ending a life, cutting the thread of life which may refer to Gertrud dying and becoming a witch<br />
*[[wikipedia:Gertrude Jekyll|Gertrude Jekyll]] was a British horticulturalist and garden designer. Her younger brother was a friend of author Robert Louis Stevenson, who used his surname in his novella [[wikipedia:Strange Case of Dr Jekyll and Mr Hyde|''Strange Case of Dr Jekyll and Mr Hyde'']], about a scientist who transforms into an embodiment of all his negativity and evil after drinking a serum he created<br />
**Gertrud's name may be a reference to [[wikipedia:Gertrude_(Hamlet)|Queen Gertrude]] from Shakespeare's play Hamlet<br />
**In the Catholic tradition, [[wikipedia:Gertrude_of_Nivelles|St. Gertrude]] is considered the [http://www.commonweeder.com/2011/03/24/saint-gertrude-of-nivelles/ patron saint of gardeners and herbalists.]<br />
***Incidentally, she is also [http://www.jesterbear.com/Aradia/SantaGertrude.html the patron saint of cats] (and those who also loved them), travelers in search of lodgings, and insane people.[http://saintspreserved.com/gertrude.htm]<br />
**In episode 2 there's a grotesque image of Napoleon right before the door to Gertrud's barrier opens. Gertud may have been inspired by [[wikipedia:Josephine_Beauharnais|Joséphine de Beauharnais]], wife of Napoleon Bonaparte. She was known as Rose until she married Napoleon, and she patronized the development of rose breeding at her gardens at Malmaison, collecting some 250 varieties<br />
*Anthony's name may be a reference to the incorrect claim in the 16th century that the name "Anthony" was derived from the Greek word "anthos", meaning "flower".<br />
**They may also be a reference to the character Anthy Himemiya, named for a similar reason, from the anime ''Revolutionary Girl Utena.''<br />
**Anthony's butterfly on it's body seem to resemble a monarch butterfly, which is a symbol of protection and of guardianship. Considering the Anthony's cut off 'undesirable roses' to please their queen this does make sense<br />
*Adelbert is named after German poet and botanist [[wikipedia:Adelbert von Chamisso|Adelbert von Chamisso]], author of the novella '[[wikipedia:Peter Schlemihl|''Peter Schlemihl's Miraculous Story'']], in which the titular character sells his shadow to the devil and eventually grows to regret his decision after being ousted from society.<br />
* The wings on Gertrud's back may be wings of [[wikipedia:Charaxinae|Charaxinae]] (cf. subgenus ''[[wikipedia:Polyura|Polyura]]''), the butterfly on her head may be ''[[wikipedia:Papilio helenus|Papilio helenus]]'', and the swarm of butterflies that fly away after she dies may be Charaxinae and genus ''[[wikipedia:Graphium (butterfly)|Graphium]]'' (cf. subgenus ''[[wikipedia:Graphium (butterfly)#Pathysa|Pathysa]]'') or ''[[wikipedia:Protographium|Protographium]]''.<br />
** Also, butterfly on Anthony's body is probably ''[[wikipedia:Danaus genutia|Danaus genutia]]'', not the monarch butterfly (''[[wikipedia:Monarch butterfly|D. plexippus]]''). However, Antony's wings have been modified and added the tails of the swallowtail butterfly ([[wikipedia:Swallowtail butterfly|Papilionidae]]).<br />
** Other butterflies can also be seen in Gertrud's Barrier.<br />
*The way the Anthony destroy foreign things with their scissors in their Magia Record Anime appearance may be the 'guillotine' described in their song from the original anime.<br />
<br />
==Trivia==<br />
* Seiyus called Anthony ひげおじさん (''Higeojisan'', Uncle Moustache) in the audio comentary tracks of BD/DVD.<br />
** They think he is cute<br />
* The Anthony from Rebellion that appear in the new world are presumably the ones that were summoned by Sayaka, unable to return to the Law of Cycles<br />
* In [[Puella Magi Madoka Magica: The Battle Pentagram|The Battle Pentagram]], Gertrud has an alternate colour palette with a more blue tinge. Her hair is a bright green, the roses are pink and her wings are blue. Anthony and Adelbert also have blue colour schemes<br />
