Observation & Trivia

  • Mami and Kyoko are the protagonists in this story. Both Madoka and Homura only appear in a few scenes.
  • After seeing her father hanging, Kyoko lost her 'Rosso Phantasma' ability. She might feel herself as Mami's burden so she decided to break up with Mami.
  • In this story, Sayaka saves Mami from her fate (defeated by Charlotte) by making a contract for Kyousuke. She then makes combination with Mami.
    • Homura tells Mami that since she already formed a combination with Sayaka, she should not induce Madoka to contract. However, Mami thinks her intention is to invite Madoka to her party, with Kyoko, so she refuses such idea.
  • Sayaka doesn't go to save Hitomi from a witch since she doesn't want to lose Kyousuke. Although Hitomi then still be saved by Mami, Sayaka feels regret and guilty for this.
    • She flips out during witch hunting, and results in Mami's severe hurt. Despite she heals Mami with her magic, this makes her fall into despair.
      • Madoka tells Kyousuke about how his hands get recovered. Sayaka feels hurt again when her secret is exposed.
  • Although not drawn, Sayaka becomes a witch in the late part of chapter 8.
    • This time, she didn't call herself an idiot. She feels happy for being necessary to Mami, but it's too late.
    • According to Kyubey, she becomes a witch because there is no grief seed left for her. All are grabbed by Homura, Kyoko and Mami.
    • Kyubey corrects his words later in volume 3, saying confrontation between the magical girls slows down speed collecting grief seeds. This is good situation for him.
      • After hearing his words, Mami becomes angry and summons a piston from her soul gem, preparing to shoot Kyubey.
  • Knowing a magical girl's inevitable fate, Mami decides to die with Oktavia. Kyoko stops her and fights her.
    • Homura remembers Mami's insanity after learning the truth for many timelines. She tells Kyoko but Kyoko doesn't believe her words.
    • Kyoko's illusion ability recovered a little. She cheated Mami so she has the chance to cleanse Mami's soul gem.
      • She also had Mami an illusion that her soul gem is cleaned (to stop Mami from becoming Candeloro). In fact, she couldn't do so until she killed Oktavia.
  • Finally Madoka makes her contract to revive Sayaka, and Homura resets time. Mami commits suicide by breaking her soul gem. Mami might want to prevent herself becoming Madoka's burden since she doesn't fight anymore.
  • Weapon design in this spin-off is the same as in anime, rather than the manga version.
    • Mami also often summons multiple guns.
    • Soul gem design is also based on the anime version.
  • Through out the story, it is stated that one Grief Seed is not enough to purify multiple Soul Gems, making its usage very limited on a party. This is the source of competition among magical girls.
    • It is also the source of strife and friction with Mami and other magical girls (and Kyoko).
    • Also the reason why magical girls ignore familiars, as usage of magic would be wasted on a target that doesnt drop Grief Seeds.
