Minor Uwasa

Uwasa (ウワサ, uwasa, lit. rumors) are a type of monster that appear in the mobile game Magia Record. Listed is information on minor Uwasa. See also Uwasa and Spoiler:Rumors.

Characteristics

Although similar to witches, uwasa are ultimately different. They are the manifestations of actual rumors that are spread through Kamihama City. They exist to spread and fulfill these rumors, attacking those who meet the rumors' conditions or who prevent the rumors' completion. They can only be defeated by doing the opposite of what the rumor represents. They notably do not drop grief seeds when killed.

Some uwasa are capable of communication. The Uwasa of the Commoner's Horse announces its intention to attack before it appears. The Uwasa of the Anonymous Artificial Intelligence is also capable of speech and has friendly interactions with other magical girls. However, it claims it is bound by its instincts as a uwasa.

It is appeared in the Another Daze event story in 2017.

Fan translation:
”My, have you heard? Who’d you hear it from? The Rumor of the Substitute Street! A long one-way road, they say, where this girl and that girl met one day! Their eyes met: "Hello! How do you do?" And then they parted: "So long, farewell." And from that day onward… this girl became that, and that girl became this! Once you switch places, what’s real becomes fake! It’s a rumor that ALL the girls in Kamihama City are talking about. Whooo aaare yooou?”

NA translation:
”Have you heard? Has anyone told you? The Rumor of the Crossing Path. This girl met another girl on a long one-way road that went on forever! They said "Hello!" once their eyes met, and "Goodbye!" right after! From then on, It's like she is her and her is she! Fakes become real once their paths cross. Kamihama girls can't stop talking about it! So, which one are you?”

This Rumor takes the form of a shadowy doppelganger of Kazumi after she encounters it.

A Rumor that appears as a chocolate shop. The shop gives out egg-shaped chocolates that represent the fate of their owner. Variant of the familiars of the Unknown Witch are summoned to steal the eggs, causing disastrous consequences. The Rumor seems to manifest as a talking chocolate egg.
