Design

Akuma Homura's design is comparable to that of Ultimate Madoka. However, Akuma Homura is mainly black and purple while Ultimate Madoka is white and pink. In Rebellion, Homura calls herself the devil when comparing herself to Madoka. This can be seen in her design, as well. Akuma Homura wears a long, black tattered dress that opens up in the front, just below her waist, and comes up her chest. The sides of this dress are cut out, and the top has a "tear" which most likely represents a broken heart. Akuma Homura wears long, black gloves and has a fluffy choker around her neck. Out of her back sprouts wings that represent those of a fallen angel, further representing the devil. She has long, black hair and has a deep red bow tied over her head. Lastly, Akuma Homura wears long, purple stockings with a diamond design and formal black shoes that open up near the base of the foot.

In Rebellion

Akuma Homura makes her first appearance in Rebellion, where she splits Ultimate Madoka (Link) in two and absorbs The Law of Cycles (Link). She created a new world where Madoka (Link) can live happily, even if it meant denying Madoka's wish.

In Magia Record

For more information, see Akuma Homura-chan.

Akuma Homura was released in Magia Record as Akuma Homura-chan, an April Fools unit.

In the Concept Movie

In the Concept movie, Homura and Homura have a speech about what "The Goddess" does not have. This also reveals Akuma Homura's motivations for splitting Madoka.

Madoka & Homura: Do you know what happiness is?
Madoka: It's bright May sunshine.
Homura: It's the warmth of family.
Madoka: It's fried eggs for breakfast.
Madoka & Homura: But there's nothing like that in Heaven.
Madoka & Homura: Do you know what happiness is?
Homura: It's having your name called by someone.
Madoka: It's calling someone's name.
Homura: It's when someone is thinking of you.
Madoka & Homura: But God alone cannot have any of this.
Homura: A lizard girl took pity on God…
Madoka: …so the lizard girl tore God in two, and kidnapped one of her halves to Earth from Heaven.
Homura: That radiance was so kind as to be cruel. Meeting it in the darkness... was far too dazzling.
For the full transcript, see here.

The final lines of the speech in the Concept movie reveal Akuma Homura's reasons for splitting Madoka. She took pity on Madoka. She was sad for her and ultimately decided to end her endless suffering. Even if it meant becoming the devil, Homura would give anything for Madoka.

Trivia

• It is possible that her name is instead Devil Homura, as Akuma roughly translates to Devil.
  • Additionally, many fans call her Devil Homura.
• In Rebellion, Homura implies Ultimate Madoka to be a goddess. Therefore, she says, the one cast away from her light must be the devil.
  • Additionally, her final transformation into Homulilly (Link) has heavy symbolism in the way of lizards or salamanders. Lizards have been associated with the devil in many works of literature. Salamanders have been mythologically linked to fire, see below.
    • In the Concept movie, Akuma Homura is referred to as "The Lizard Girl".
• The name 'Homura' can be written as 'flame'. 'Lucifer' (or 'Heylel') means 'light-bringer' and is often seen as the morning star. This can reflect eachother, as well as how Rebellion heavily featured fire, and how supposed witches were burned at the stake.
• As seen in Tart Magica, the witchifacation and subsequent de-witchifacation can leave a Magical Girl hollow or fractured. It is possible Homura's mind was warped after her transformation into Homulilly.
