Side Story

Kuro has no side story. Her side story chapters are titled "Black Magical Girl Quest 1-3" and feature no cutscenes of any kind, instead simply having standard battles with a variety of enemies. When selecting the individual battle, Kuro stands to one side in front of different backgrounds, such as Magius' hideout or a classroom and saying nothing.

Event Appearances

• A la Carte Valentine.

Etymology

• "Kuro" means black.

Trivia

• "Matasaburo" is a reference to Kenji Miyazawa's work 'Kaze no Matasaburo' about a child who disappears as soon as they came. Note that Kenji Miyazawa also wrote Night on the Galactic Railroad, which Iroha, Mifuyu's and Yachiyo's doppels take their names from. He also wrote the works where Nemu's, Kanagi's, and Touka's witch forms take their names from. Shitori Egumo is as well a reference to a work of his.
• Her illustrator is unknown. Her card and transformation sequence use a Live 2D model, her character designer is Sasagi Koushi, and her story was written by Gekidan Inu Curry.
• She is event-limited, given as a surprise reward to players who completed Homura's story in the 2018 Valentine's Day event,
  • Homura's Valentine's story was made available on February 8th. Kuro was released on the 15th of that month. Since she was only added due to fan response, Kuro must have been thrown together in a week.
• Kuro is the second 1* after Iroha Tamaki, and the only magical girl to be capped at 1*.
• Kuro is also the first magical girl originally without a unique memoria. Her unique memoria was later provided as an event shop item the following year in the 2019 Valentine's Day event.
