Puella Magi Madoka Magica/WMG/2: Difference between revisions

** I'll echo one of the other WMG comments; {{spoiler|Loop 4 Kyubey not really caring after he met his quota does not disprove his claim that humans ''can'', not will, join Kyubey's race in space. They're exclusive things that he says in different timelines}}

 

* As quoted: "Koschei cannot be killed by conventional means targeting his body. His soul is hidden separate from his body inside a needle, which is in an egg, which is in a duck, which is in a hare, which is in an iron chest (sometimes the chest is crystal and/or gold), which is buried under a green oak tree, which is on the island of Buyan, in the ocean. As long as his soul is safe, he cannot die. If the chest is dug up and opened, the hare will bolt away. If it is killed, the duck will emerge and try to fly off. Anyone possessing the egg has Koschei in their power. He begins to weaken, becomes sick and immediately loses the use of his magic. If the egg is tossed about, he likewise is flung around against his will. If the egg or needle is broken (in some tales this must be done by specifically breaking it against Koschei's forehead), Koschei will die."

** {{spoiler|This description sort of fits the Puella Magi as well}}

But to {{spoiler|witches also}} since they were once {{spoiler|magical girls}}. To make the three previous theories above '''[[Serial Escalation|EVEN]]''' [[It Got Worse|worse]]. The deceased cannot be sent to the afterlife, because their Grief Seeds {{spoiler|which are basically their souls}} are taken away and used by Kyubey as batteries. So [[And I Must Scream|they will live in eternity cramped up]] in a Soul Gem or settling in Kyubey's stomach.

 

Where else would be more appropriate? And if not in the anime, perhaps one of the spinoff manga.

 

== The mysterious Prologue Witch is the result of a [[Fusion Dance]]. ==

 

 

Essentially, the spell-circle appears to be a combination of symbols, which suggest that the witch is a composite entity; a witch formed from multiple witches.

== There will be a witch that will maintain its {{spoiler|original human appearance}} ==

And odds are it will be {{spoiler|Madoka. See [[Humanoid Abomination]], [[Monster Lord]], and [[Bishonen Line]].}}

* Note that those monks in the end look pretty human. They're not the same witches though.

 

== A variation of Mephistopheles will be used as a name for a witch, probably {{spoiler|witch Madoka}} ==

Because {{spoiler|Kanamephisto}} is [[Incredibly Lame Pun|too good a pun]] to pass up. Is it a pun in Japanese too?

 

== For that matter, there will be a witch named after a [[Valkyries|Valkyrie]] ==

 

== Kyubey wants Madoka to make her contract during Walpurgisnacht, no sooner, no later. ==

 

{{spoiler|Derived from the line in Episode 9 where Kyubey says "Someday, you humans will join us" or something along those lines.}}

 

== It ''is'' possible to get a human back from being a witch, Kyubey just didn't know and Kyouko made the wrong choice. ==

 

== Related to above, [[Gainax Ending]] [[Sequel Hook]] suggests that {{spoiler|another alternate timeline Homura became a witch in human form.}} == ...which will be the new enemy in Season 2. {{spoiler|Homura diverged when into two separate entities while with Madoka, and, as a result, two possibilities came about. One being that relied on Madoka and gave her hope. The other...well, that happened after she became a witch and couldn't rely on herself, losing hope in the process. Each got a ribbon, and each signified each other as polar opposites (with hope versus those without).}} [[The Law of Conservation of Detail|Also, did anybody notice that there was only]] {{spoiler|ONE ribbon}} [[The Law of Conservation of Detail|with Homura?!]]

 

== Madoka wasn't the first to make a [[Reality Warper]]-level wish ==

 

== Kyubey benefits more from the new system than the old one. ==

* Given how long-term the heat death of the Universe would be (context, in about 100 Trillion years, star formation will end), if QB's race thinks long-term at all; they should know this. You do not slaughter the entire herd of cattle without leaving breeding stock.

** Addendum: QB ''did'' know this, and encouraged Madoka and Homura to make the decisions they did in order to create a renewable system.

== Homura's Hammerspace power isn't Hammerspace at all. ==

Think about it. Homura's wish gave her the power to [[Time Master|screw around with one month's worth of time.]] It doesn't really make sense that it would also give her an infinite amount of storage space that takes up no actual space. However, where does she put these weapons when she's storing them away? Behind her shield. AKA her time machine. [[Fridge Brilliance|She's not actually storing them, she's sending them directly to the point in the future when she'll need them.]] And how does she know when that is? At the time, she doesn't; however, when the time comes, she always reaches behind her shield to retrieve the item she needs, so she could in fact be reaching into the point in the past (which she does know) when she "stored" the item in the first place, thus taking it directly out of her own hands.

 

== Theories why Madoka could see Homura fighting [[Invisible to Normals|Walpurgis Night]] (both in the show's timeline and the one immediately before), despite not being a Magical Girl (yet): ==

 

== Some other Witch theories... ==

** She was also probably behind the "Kennedy Curse" (Robert Kennedy's assassin Sirhan Sirhan claimed he was in a sort of "[[More Than Mind Control|trancelike state]]" when he shot Bobby.)

** [http://wiki.puella-magi.net/Roberta Roberta] may be her Witch form.
