User:Homerun-chan/Theory tags

The boxed version now has its own template. Use {{Theory/Header|status=confirmed}} (or "status=debunked") to create a green (red) box, then put the theories inside, and close it with {{Theory/Footer}}

Version with boxes

• This page is a mockup for the inline theory tags.
  • Let's pretend these items are theories that are neither proven right nor wrong

The theories below have been proven right.
At least one element from the franchise is rendering them valid.

• This is a super important theory that has been proven right
  • It is super-important indeed
• Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipiscing elit. Vestibulum vel lectus sapien. Vestibulum elementum, velit eu venenatis viverra, nibh mauris convallis tortor, non mattis augue nunc vehicula velit. Ut non turpis quis ante faucibus porttitor a id eros. Cras vehicula feugiat ultrices. Morbi ut nulla at dolor rutrum tincidunt vitae.
• Note that a theory is only marked as confirmed when an element from the franchise explicitly goes in the same direction. All other speculah, no matter how likely they seem, should go to the general namespace.

The theories below have been proven wrong.
They are only kept here for the sake of completeness.

• Note that a theory is only marked as debunked when an element from the franchise explicitly goes against it. All other speculah, no matter how unlikely they seem, should go to the general namespace.

The theories below could not be proven yet.
Please keep in mind that they are fanmade theories, and not official material.

Version with symbols

• An alternative look for the speculah sections. Each item may come with one of the two usual symbols.
  • I find this version less explicit, but on another hand, it's more compact than the boxed version
  • Maybe there's a way to replace the bullet with the corresponding symbol? (I can't think of one right now; it's probably possible using some CSS but don't we need to use the HTML tags then?)
• All the speculah below comes from Homura's page but has been randomly tagged
  • When an episode number is specified, it appears as a tooltip when hovering the symbol.

• ✔ Homura's wish was to protect Madoka, and since wishes always come true, it should make her immune from death and becoming a witch before saving Madoka. This makes her doomed to be locked in this cycle. In one timeline she was almost successful, but Madoka sacrificed herself for the sake of Homura and caused another restart.
  • Homura's wish may be interpreted simply as "I want to redo my meeting with Madoka" with the lines about wanting to protect her rather than being protected simply justification for her wish. If this is the case, then the wish has already been fulfilled and there isn't anything to make her immune from death or becoming a witch. Whether or not she has any control over her jumping back in time is unknown. The first few times appear to be automatic, but by the 4th jump back in time she appears to have control over when she jumps, as she spends time talking to Kyubey despite clearly having failed to protect Madoka before walking away and starting again. It may simply have been the first few times were instinctual.
  • Urobuchi explained that her shield is a sand timer and that it can only be inverted after one month has passed; thus, in Timeline 4, she was presumably waiting for the right moment to invert the timer.
• In the first two episodes, Homura appeared to be the antagonist. It was later explained that she only wanted to prevent Madoka becoming a magical girl. She saved Madoka and Sayaka multiple times and may become an ally and/or mentor of Madoka in the future.
• ✖ She might also wish to prevent Madoka becoming a magical girl because of the risk that she could turn into an overwhelmingly powerful witch.
• ✖ In Episode 5, Homura saves Sayaka from Kyouko by suddenly manifesting as Kyouko's attack is about to land, somehow moving Sayaka out of the path of the attack. The ability seems to involve massive acceleration rather than teleportation(this because of her power being to turn back/stop time and thus being able to move quickly from one point to another by stopping time temporarily), as she is able to act in a split second. As there are hints that a Puella Magi's powers may relate to her wish (e.g. Sayaka's regeneration), this may be a clue as to Homura's true motives. As of Episode 8 it has been confirmed that Homura's ability has something to do with time.
• ✔ Per the image in the gallery below, the pipe layout on the corridor wall is completely different after Homura uses her 'teleportation' ability. Assuming this is not a production error, it has been suggested that the ability actually involves magically reconstituting the entire corridor while moving the people in it around. For more information, please refer to the entry on this phenomenon in the Magical Powers speculah.
  • In the 10th episode we can see Homura with her glasses and duvets, she looks like Hanekawa Tsubasa in Bakemonogatari, which is possessed by a cat during the golden week (Tsubasa Cat arc).
