Line 21:
* [[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.
* [[Back from the Dead]]: The original series killed off pretty much every magical girl in Mitakihara. Here, they're all back fighting--the first sign that something is ''wrong'' in the city.
* [[Cerebus Syndrome]]: The first 30 minutes are pretty slow paced and revolve around simple magical girls who wake up, go to school, and save the world. Then, the revelation that their "Mitakihara" city isn't what it seems sends the movie promptly back to the territory of episode 8 from the original show.
* [[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.}}
** Things make a bit of sense if you think about it for a bit.
* [[Masquerade]]: One is put up to conceal the {{spoiler|true nature of Mitakihara city. This isn't the same Mitakihara city as the series}}.
* [[More Dakka]]: The entire fight between {{spoiler|Homura and Mami}} is this, being two characters who fight prominently with {{spoiler|guns, you would expect that the two would take it to the next level. Ten guns would appear out of thin air, fire once, and disappear}}, and the bullets keep hitting other bullets.
* [[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.
* [[New Transfer Student]]: In the original series, Homura is one. {{spoiler|In the end of the movie, Madoka is one}}.
Line 31 ⟶ 33:
* [[Post Modernism]]: Some sequences blur the line between [[Clip Art Animation]] and [[Anime]] animation. Hard. And there's many of them.
* [[Produce Pelting]]: {{spoiler|The clara dolls pelt Homura after she steals Madoka's powers}}.
* [[Secondary Character Title]]: {{spoiler|Just like in the anime, Madoka Kaname is not the main character}}.
* [[Sexy Backless Outfit]]: {{spoiler|Homura's devil outfit}}. While in general her outfit is [[stripperific]], the no back is practical considering the wings (which themselves look impractical). Although the fact she is biologically likely to be 13-14 probably (and hopefully) undermines any fan service appeal. {{spoiler|Having gone through many time lines and the amount of struggle she was put through ''might'' give a case she is mentally older than her biological age would suggest}}.
* [[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]].
* [[Weird Moon]]: At the very end of the film, after the credits, the moon shown is sliced cleanly in half.
* [[Yandere]]: Most yandere characters stop at murder. The entire ''Madoka Magica'' franchise has proven it has no difficulties taking every trope to the next level, and thus the yandere is also taken [[Up To Eleven]]. {{spoiler|Homura is a special kind of yandere. Murder isn't enough. Reworking the entire universe to undo a big part of the ending from the series, and pulling God out of the sky, just to be with Madoka again, is more like it}}.
