Line 36:
[[Word of God]] says that her wings deflect attacks against her. The Barren Landscape of the Demons is a [[Fisher Kingdom]] that corrupts anyone in it, a general continuous attack. What we're seeing is simply the miasmic evil reflecting off her. Her wings are white when she's in a relatively clean area.
 
== Homura is [[Who Wants to Live Forever?|immortal]] and will never be reunited with Madoka. ==
It's the kind of sting-in-the-butt Urobu likes. Homura at the very end is seen being surrounded by the "witchy" wings. It's all the despair she feels coming to claim her. But every time Homura starts to fall to despair, she will feel hope that she will be with Madoka, that gives her hope and/or happiness of finally seeing her beloved again. And because of the "[[Unstoppable Force Meets Immovable Object|Hope and despair]] [[Equivalent Exchange|always balance out to zero]]" law that trumps even Thermodynamics, that happiness will drive away the complete "[[Nineteen Eighty -Four|boot on the face forever]]" that is needed to call Madoka to get her. That explains why, in the end, she was followed by the darkness. In short, she will never see Madoka again, [[Despair Event Horizon|until she realizes that she will never see her again]]. [[Poison Oak Epileptic Trees|Alas, poor Homu-chan!]]
* It's jossed in the manga, but the anime...
* Rather, she will not be able to use the "normal" route. She will have to either have to complete her Dharma of protecting the world Madoka loves by taking the Long Path to godhood; or else die doing so. (She's not going to be killed easily, though.)
Line 352:
This Witch would not only create a huge amound of energy itself, it would also hugely reduce the number of Puella Magi (and {{spoiler|probably turn many of them into Witches}}), ''so that more witches can reproduce''. Slowly, more girls would be contracted to fight the newborn Witches, repeating the cycle.
 
Yes, you should have noticed what I've implied there: The Walpurgis Night has happened many times before. The devastating effects caused by this Witch are probably explained in the real world by a)Natural disasters <ref> [[Dude, Not Funny|like a huge]] [[Too Soon|earthquake?]]</ref> or b)Human causes (huge wars, genocide, etc.), AGAIN, as a WMG above mentioned.<ref>"crazed humans destroy things, leading to [[The End of the World As We Know It]]."</ref>
* It showed up at the same time when there were only two magical girls around and when there were five, though
** Yes, I noticed. But my point here was that there is some kind of "time limit" for the girls. If you don't die before this night, you will die during it anyway. The Witch wouldn't differentiate about how many there are left, it just appears at a certain time to do its ass-kicking job.
 
== The title character of the soon-to-be-released [[Prequel]] manga, ''Puella Magi Oriko Magica'', will become {{spoiler|Charlotte}} ==
Because the piece of promotional artwork marks her as a [[Token Mini -Moe]], and she's seen with [[Irony|Mami]] and [[Big Eater|Kyoko]].
* Another thing. Homura is mentioned to be appearing in the series. Since it seems unlikely that Oriko will take place in the week between {{spoiler|the beginning of Homura's [[Groundhog Day Loop]] and when Homura transfers to Madoka's school}}, it's possible that we will see Homura {{spoiler|in the hospital, before the loop begins}}. A likely reason we would see her there is because {{spoiler|Oriko is an [[Ill Girl]] too, and they're in the same hospital. Isn't there a theory about Charlotte being the [[Littlest Cancer Patient]]?}}
** Homura boldly kept Charlotte's grief seed, partially so Kyuubey wouldn't dispose of it and it could be useful (and keep it away from Sayaka and Madoka), and partially because she might have recognized Charlotte.
Line 402:
* Sad Madoka: [[Bittersweet Ending]].
* Madoka Crying: [[Downer Ending]].
* Madoka in pain: [[Kill 'Em All]]
* Kyubey-eyed Mami: [[Gainax Ending]].
* Kyubey: [[Troll]] Ending
Line 514:
We've assumed it's what Puella Magi is due to how it was fit in the title, but in fact it means something else.
 
Perhaps, related to the "Madoka will become a True Magical Girl" theory, "Puella Magi", or "girl of the mage", is Madoka's True Magical Girl name. (Just one suggestion.) This will have the side effect of [[Arson, Murder, and Jaywalking|forcing all of the wiki writers and fansubbers to change all of the instances.]]
 
Keeping in mind Episode 12, it may be the name of Madoka's Goddess Form.
Line 560:
Are a manifestation of her witch form.
 
But instead of ''becoming'' a witch, she'll manifest it as a [[Guardian Entity]]. Oh yeah, we're getting [[Jo JosJo's Bizarre Adventure (Manga)|Stands]].
* This also relates to the above WMG ([[Gainax Ending]] [[Sequel Hook]]). See that for more information.
 
Line 657:
 
== Charlotte was bulimic. ==
She may have wished for better self-image/self-confidence, only to fall back into her old habits in a misguided attempt to gain control of her life when being a Magical Girl proved too much for her. Her first Witch form is a mouse not just because of the cheese theme, but because she was a [[Shrinking Violet]], and she's a poor fighter because she let bullies push her around and make her feel bad about herself (which would add some real [[Fridge Horror]] to Mami's apparent [[Curb Stomp Battle|curb-stomping]] of her). And remember how she unleashes her [[One -Winged Angel]] form? ''She throws it up.''
 
== The "second love letter" Hitomi is mentioned to have gotten in the first episode was from Kyosuke... ==
Line 697:
* Roberta's familiar, Gotz, is described as such: ''These birds that swarm together are idiotic men. Even though they are total good-for-nothings, they try to attract her attention by swarming around her feet and attempting to woo her. They are nothing more than an object of disgust to the witch.'' If a witch tries using her barrier to live out her fantasies; as seen by Octavia's concert hall, Gertrud's garden, and Charlotte's world of sweets; it fits that the emotional, easily angered Kazuko would get a kick out of reducing the men who rejected her to meaningless idiots who clamor for her affection. She is disgusted by them for disrespecting her.
* Finally, we have a production note describing Roberta: ''A witch who lived for a long time as a magical girl. She is weak, as she was no longer a girl when she became a witch (mid-20s to 30s?). The form she takes in her barrier is how she would've turned out in the future (around 40s). What she desires is life. Enjoys alcohol and books.'' Kazuko is no girl, she likes liquor, as a teacher she is obviously going to like books, and all she wants is a life with a man who can appreciate her.
* The biggest problem with this theory is that Kazuko is probably not a magical girl in the "current" timeline, which can possibly be handwaved by Homura's game with the [[Timey -Wimey Ball|Timey Wimey Ball.]]
 
== The new girls from the mobile game have nothing to do with the witches in-show. ==
Line 753:
 
== There were mahou shounen, but someone wished them out of existence. ==
How and why? Who knows. Maybe they bought Kyubey's spiel about entropy, but wanted to save all their magical friends, who happened to be boys. [[He -Man Woman Hater|Maybe they thought girls]] [[Men Are Better Than Women|were better suited to be sacrifices.]] [[Does Not Like Men|Maybe they thought girls]] [[Women Are Wiser|were better suited to be heroes.]] Maybe they wanted girls to have magical power to balance their lack of societal power. Whatever the reason, someone said something along the lines of "I wish girls are, were, and have been the only suitable candidates for contracting". Maybe they even said [[Gender Bender|"I wish everyone who ever contracted was a girl".]]
 
== The original Moemura still exists in every timeline and is witnessing everything Homura does in every timeline after the first. ==
Line 789:
== The "entropy" Kyubey referred to isn't Thermodynamics, but an ''[[Eldritch Abomination]]''. ==
Said Abomination exists outside of the universe, ''[[Up to Eleven|is even more alien than the Incubators themselves, infinitely worse than our limited scientific conception of entropy]]'', [[Apocalypse How|and is eating Reality alive]]. Because of [[You Cannot Grasp the True Form|its true form being just plain]] [[You Keep Using That Word|Inconceivable]], the Incubators can only describe it vaguely by making parallels with the scientific entropy we learned from ordinary middle school Science (hence why they refer to it as Entropy, thus this Abomination is basically Entropy [[From a Certain Point of View]], with the Incubators being pathological users of [[From a Certain Point of View]]). [[Instrumentality|The Incubators became an emotionless]] [[Hive Mind]] [[The Singularity|Singularity]] in an attempt to preserve their civilization from such an insanity while increasing their collective intelligence enough to know just a subatomically small bit of it, only for them to discover that almost every scientifically-based means in the universe is not enough to stop it.... except for a [[Powered By a Forsaken Child|certain form of energy]] on which they themselves can't even comprehend why it works anyway out of all things. The necessity for tormented girls' souls to be sacrificed to it in order to stave it off? Same thing as to why [[Warhammer 40000|the Dark Eldar sacrifice tortured souls to Chaos (another name for Entropy) so that it does not eat them alive instead]]. Fits in with how a [[Cosmic Horror Story]] will always have its hierarchy of abominations to be [[Always a Bigger Fish|Always Bigger And More Inconceivably Insane Fishes]].
* [[Poison Oak Epileptic Trees|It gets worse]]. Think with [[Messianic Archetype|Madokami-sama]] around we are finally saved from such? Yes, Entropy seems to have slowed down its role in Reality for a bit while relatively less-entropic Daemons seem to have compensated for its role on the world.... because Madokami's immortal potential has provided it an all-you-can-eat buffet of energy, and in exchange for our Salvation it is Her that is being eaten alive slowly and painfully instead, [[Year Inside, Hour Outside|at every point in space and time]], [[And I Must Scream|with no way to undo or escape, as long as the mere concept of Existence itself continues to exist, forever and ever]].
* And that eldritch horror is, of all things, ''[[Tomato in The Mirror|You]]''.....
 
Line 808:
* [[Those Wacky Nazis|You know who else fell on Walpurgis Night?]]
** No wonder Walpurgis Night was so powerful: [[World War Two|she was born from a massive reservoir of complete misery and hell]].
** [[HitlersHitler's Time Travel Exemption Act|You know who else was the centre of repeated time travel and failed assassination attempts?]]
** Theory: Originally, Walpurgis Nacht despite being a collection of witches was in itself started out as fairly ordinary, but over time it continued to assimilate misery into itself, thus it got supercharged to insane levels when the World Wars came to sacrifice people by the hundred millions to create a massive reservoir of miserable souls in just a short amount of time, which unlike other apocalypses like the Black Death was entirely caused by the energy of human rage (perhaps with a heaping help from [[Ghostapo|possible Nazi Alchemy experiments]], and of course how the opportunistic Incubators took this as a time to contract war victims such as Anne Frank, most of whom are so desperate they couldn't think of simply ending the war and made selfish wishes, or they can't stop it because the World Wars is so full of misery only a Madoka-scale wish can undo it). On April 30, aka Walpurgis Night and the day [[Adolf Hitler]] committed suicide, Walpurgisnacht reached critical mass when it assimilated the soul of Hitler who contained extreme amounts of rage that rivals the energy of a Magical Girl (for the [[Despair Event Horizon]] part, just see ''[[Downfall (Film)|Der Untergang]]''), enabling it to transform into something capable of singlehandedly bringing the Apocalypse (well at least it slept until [[The Messiah|Madoka]] got the contract). Also, according to [[Word of God]], Walpurgis wants to turn the world into a stage. Hitler had such a massive fond of [[Richard Wagner]]'s epic operas that he probably imagined himself to be in it, seeing his Downfall as [[Gotterdammerung]].
** Or Hitler was simply just a victim of a suicide-inducing kiss courtesy of Walpurgisnacht.
** As for the trope called [[HitlersHitler's Time Travel Exemption Act]], they're extensions of Homura. When you kill Hitler things get worse, when you try to stop Walpurgis things get worse.....
* Salvador Dali saw one of the witches and its barriers early in his life and was inflicted with both inspiration and insanity, leading to his fame as an eccentric artist. Tell me that his art doesn't look like it came from Witches' barriers.
** Witches also influenced most of 20th century art and literature, from the weird styles of the Dada to the Eldritch stories of [[HP Lovecraft]].
