When Kyoko is informed about Mami's death, she comes to Mitakihara. She then realizes there is a new magical girl and is unhappy with that. She decides to give Sayaka a lesson. As in anime, Sayaka goes to visit Kyousuke, and Kyoko observes her in the viewing platform. When Sayaka is hunting Anja, Kyoko appears and fights against her. But this time, Madoka is not there. Kyubey instigates Sayaka to seek Madoka's help, but Sayaka refuses this. Homura appears to stop them. After Kyoko leaves, Homura thanks Sayaka for not seeking Madoka's help. But she also warns Sayaka that she will kill her if she brings Madoka with her when hunting witches. Then Homura goes to game center to seek cooperation with Kyoko. Although Kyoko doesn't trust her, she accepts this combination. Meanwhile, Sayaka is going to visit Kyousuke, but there are familiars to be dealt with first. After she finally finishes dealing with them, it's too late to visit Kyousuke since the doors of the hospital are closed. One day Kyoko feels unhappy with a familiar and kills it. Kyubey comes to say it seldom to see her kill familiars. And even when killing familiars, Kyoko doesn't waste unnecessary magic, unlike Sayaka, who wastes ten times more magic that Kyoko uses. Kyoko then asks how many grief seeds Sayaka has. Kyubey answers that Sayaka has no grief seeds at all. Kyoko is astonished with this answer. She goes to stop Sayaka from hunting familiars. Kyoko asks Homura why she knows when Walpurgis will come. Homura refuses to answer this, so Kyoko determines her to be unbelievable. The next day, Kyoko makes a grave for Mami. Kyubey asks her why she did such a meaningless thing and Kyoko answers she can calm down only by doing it. Maybe she is still a daughter of a priest in her heart. At night, Kyoko asks Homura why she doesn't consider to cooperate with Sayaka. Homura says it impossible, and Kyoko can try this way herself. (Homura remembers how Sayaka doesn't accept any words, even from Madoka. She is doomed to destruction when she contracts. But Homura doesn't tell this to Kyoko.) As Kyoko sees Sayaka more and more, she begins to show her sympathy to her. She doesn't want to see another magical girl turn out like Mami. When Sayaka is depressed from the revelation of Hitomi's confession to Kyousuke, Kyoko tells Sayaka her story. The story is identical to what is shown in anime, but with more details. Kyoko felt very happy after contracting. Her family was never hungry again, and she now knows Mami as a new friend. One day, Gisela appeared in her father's church. After she destroyed the witch, however, her father saw her in her magical girl outfit. He asked what happened, and Kyoko honestly answered and told him about everything. Her father then went outside to tell everyone what he taught was wrong and should be the opposite. Everyone accepted his new speech immediately. He then knew they were not coming from faith, but from magic instead. He called himself a demon, and her daughter a witch, and everyone also answered the same way. Finally he killed his wife and Kyoko's sister and hung himself. After this, Kyoko separated from Mami and returned to Kasamino. Kyoko suggests to Sayaka to fight for herself only, but Sayaka refuses. She points out that Kyoko is not that selfish; Kyoko is only frustrated because her wish backfired. Sayaka is even willing to fight for Kyoko's sake. In the next day, Sayaka sees Kyousuke and Hitomi together. Madoka is worried about her so they talk at school. Sayaka thanks Madoka for her concern and then goes to the station where Kyoko meets her again. Kyoko tries to comfort Sayaka, but Sayaka says it too late. Then Sayaka turns into Oktavia. Kyoko tries to call Sayaka back but her efforts are in vain. Homura comes and brings her away. As what happened in the anime, they meet Madoka and Homura explains everything about the secrets of magical girls and witches. The next day, Kyoko brings Madoka to Oktavia's barrier in an attempt to turn Sayaka back into her old self. However, at the center of the barrier, Oktavia vanishes. Homura comes to them, saying to prevent Kyoko's sacrifice, she killed Oktavia herself. Kyoko is furious about this. Then there are 2 possible endings, depending on how dark Kyoko's soul gem is. 1. Kyoko does not become a witch. Kyoko tells Homura that she thinks of Sayaka as her last hope. She really wants to kill Homura. But she is stopped by Madoka, saying that Sayaka wouldn't wish for that. Kyoko then tells Homura she won't help her anymore and leaves with Madoka. In her father's old church, Kyoko tells Madoka not to cry every time something bad happens. She also tells Madoka not to make a contract. It won't do anyone any good to become a magical girl for others' sake. Walpurgis comes. Kyoko thinks Homura is hiding herself and running away, but after feeling the shock from that battle, she knows Homura does fight against Walpurgis. Although she is unwilling to go, she asks herself what Mami and Sayaka would do in such a condition. After calling herself an idiot, and explaining herself that she is not fighting for Homura's sake, she goes to fight Walpurgis. But Walpurgis is too powerful to be defeated by Homura and Kyoko. She and Homura are both hurt. Madoka comes here to help them, and makes a contract to destroy Walpurgis immediately. However, she then turns into Kriemhild Gretchen and kills Kyoko in single shot. Homura then resets the timeline. 2. Kyoko becomes a witch. Kyoko becomes Ophelia and finally killed by Homura. Then Walpurgis comes. Everything is the same as 4th timeline and Homura finally resets timeline. |

Observations and Trivia
Speculations
Strategy
- The hardest fighting in this route is fighting H.N.Elly in the past. Kyoko can hardly defeat her with the only melee skill. It is suggested to gather skill books in Anja's barrier first. After Flying lance(飛槍) and Dozen thrust(打突) are learned, it is pretty easy to defeat her.
- There are only 2 grief seeds before Sayaka inevitably becoming Oktavia. Because the ending is determined immediately after Homura's killing Oktavia(nothing can be used during the event), it is suggested to preserve one for using before that if Kyoko is meant to prevent witch transformation.
