Puella Magi Kazumi Magica: Difference between revisions

[http://myanimelist.net/forum/?topicid=298103 This post] about Chapter 5. (SPOILERS) }}

 

 

''Kazumi Magica'' follows Kazumi, a young girl who wakes up in a suitcase with amnesia. Fortunately for her, she's quickly reunited with her friends, Umika and Kaoru. But when her life is in serious danger from a [[Big Creepy Crawlies|giant praying mantis]], she unlocks her magical potential and transforms into a [[Magical Girl]]. Kazumi doesn't remember anything about who she was before she was locked in that suitcase, but as she works towards finding out more about her past self and her strange and difficult quest to fight Witches, what will the "new Kazumi" become?

** Mirai Wakaba's name, which means "Future Young Leaf", is similar to the name of her museum, "Ashitaba (Tomorrow's Leaf) Bears".

** "Kazumi" can be read as "thirteen". In Chapter 13 {{spoiler|we find she's the thirteenth Kazumi clone}}

* {{spoiler|[[And Then John Was a Zombie]]}}: It's revealed that Kazumi is {{spoiler|actually a clone of a dead Puella Magi constructed from the flesh of witches}}.

** Also applies to {{spoiler|the girls who turn into witches, which so far includes Nico's "spare" and Satomi.}}

** Chapter 12 {{spoiler|is either this or [[Series Continuity Error]] - in Chapter 2 Kazumi is told Umika and Kaoru didn't know what her wish was...yet in the flashback Kazumi does tell them about her wish. Furthermore, Kaoru's wish in the flashback is entirely different from what she told Kazumi in Chapter 2. They could have been lying, but that just raises more questions. Given that Umika can [[Fake Memories|modify memories]], it's also possible the flashback is false.}}

*** As revealed in Chapter 13, {{spoiler|Kazumi, being a clone, has ''no'' memories of her own - they were all implanted by Umika, who admits that she's probably made mistakes. However, Kaoru specifically says that she initially lied to Kazumi.}}

** As of Chapter 17, {{spoiler|we still don't know what Nico's wish was.}}

* [[Visual Pun]]: Chapter 9's BEAR HUG!

** {{spoiler|This is Satomi's attitude towards the Kazumi clones. Since it looks like the newest Kazumi might be corrupted by an Evil Nut, she just decides to kill her and try again.}}

** {{spoiler|In fact, all of the Pleiades have shades of this attitude - they just want Michiru back, and will keep cloning her (and the recently witchified Satomi) until they get it right. Saki's reservations only came from the fact that she loved Michiru and couldn't bring herself to kill the clones. Kaoru calls them out on this, but it doesn't work.}}

* [[Whole Episode Flashback]]: Chapter 11, which ends with a [[Nested Story|flashback in the flashback.]]

** Chapter 12 continues Chapter 11's flashbacks, up until the end.

* [[You Are Not Alone]]: Said in Chapter 3.
