* [[Art Shift]]: During the bus sequence as Homura and Kyoto tries to get out of Mitakihara, the art style shifts massively. Backgrounds become much emptier, with less detail. Scenes are generally darker. This helps contribute to a feeling that something is wrong.
* [[De-Power]]: {{spoiler|In the ending, this happens to Madoka as the laws of reality gets rewritten. Again}}.

* [[Gainax Ending]]: {{spoiler|The barrier trapping Homura's Soul Gem is seemingly shattered, and she's about to be taken away by Madoka, who [[Ascended to A Higher Plane of Existence]] in the series. However, Homura wants to be with Madoka more than anything, and Madoka residing on another plane of existence, as you might imagine, does not make it easy for them to be together. A normal person will let themselves get pulled away, but we're talking about the girl who relived existence several times to save Madoka. Thus, Homura straight up ''pulls Law of Cycles Madoka out of the sky'', ''enslaves the entire Incubator species'', and ''rewrites the laws of existence to ensure she and Madoka will be together''. She says she's neither a Magical Girl or Witch, instead calling herself a "demon". Several questions are left unanswered, the biggest being whether the Law of Cycles will continue or not. The scene after the credits don't help either, depicting Homura falling off a cliff with a beaten up Kyubey.}}

* [[The Movie]]: This is the last part of a trilogy<ref>It was a trilogy until a sequel to this film was announced</ref>. The first two films were a retelling of the original series, and this one is a continuation of the story.

* [[Non Sequitur Scene]]: The "cake song" sequence, around twenty minutes into the film. It doesn't serve a bigger role in the plot, and it interrupts the pacing of the Nightmare fight. The scene is not used for humour. However, it is a nice break from the usual depressing ''Madoka Magica'' tone. {{quote|'''Everyone''': Big cake!
Round cake!
Right in front of me!
<[[Beat]]>
Who do you think this cake could be?
'''Bebe''': ''Is the cake Sayaka?''
'''Sayaka''': No it's not me.
I'm just a little old raspberry.
That big round cake's too red, don't you know.
<Beat>
Could the cake be Kyoko?
'''Kyoko''': No not me.
I'm the juicy apple in this story.
That big round cake loves Bebe can't you see.
<Beat>
Is the cake Mami?}}
* [[Opening Monologue]]: Homura gives one about magical girls and how their end will inevitably be claimed by the Law of Cycles.
* [[Post Modernism]]: Some sequences blur the line between [[Clip Art Animation]] and [[Anime]] animation. Hard. And there's many of them.
* [[Shoot the Bullet]]: Mami and Homura, can't hit each other during their fight just before halfway into the film. The reason for this is quite simple: ''their bullets kept hitting other bullets''.

* [[Trilogy Creep]]: Originally, we only have ''Beginnings'', ''Eternal'', and ''Rebellion''. Now we're getting ''[[Puella Magi Madoka Magica the Movie -Walpurgisnacht: Rising-]]'' to clear up that [[Gainax Ending]].
