My point is stop crying because someone called you rude. YOU WERE BEING RUDE! Typically when someone is BEING something it is okay to CALL them (you) that. And mods. The problem was not me. I started off nice. But there is only so much dumb I can take. But I really appreciate the warning. I would cry tears myself but that might flood the room or something. So while a lot of things push my buttons I am not going to allow OBVIOUSLY OFFENSIVE language be used on a board that bans the use of the word damn and bitch. Like really people, let’s get us some priorities.
Sometimes I wonder about real people being human...
While what I just said was serious that is not why people are here. We are here because we are all crazy about a show called Mahou Shoujo Madoka Magica. It is episode 9 folks!!! Spoilers for Madoka crying!!! But her tears are actually meaningful, unlike some crybabies on internet forums.
So Sayaka's true wish was to be loved by him all along...
Episode Summary of briefness: Sayaka turns into a witch. Kyoko is like OH SHIT and grabs her body. Homura arrives and the girls leave the Sayaka witch behind. Kyoko gives Sayaka’s body to Madoka and the crying commences. Homura acts all big and bad about the situation. Kyubey goes to Madoka and explains everything. Basically the universe is using more energy than it creates and will die if something is not done. Magical girls turning into witches creates energy that would not otherwise be there so thus the aliens of no emotions decided that killing a few Earth girls was better than everyone being dead. Madoka cries and Kyubey is like Kay call me if you want to die and leaves. He then goes to visit Kyoko who is trying to keep Sayaka’s body warm. Kyoko asks Kyubey if it is possible to bring Sayaka back. Kyubey doesn’t know and implies trying would not be the worse idea ever.
Yet she is still not broken. Amazing.
Madoka goes to school the next day with Hitomi wondering why everyone is so weird. Kyoko “calls” Madoka over and says her plan is to fight Sayaka while Madoka tries to use her voice to reach Sayaka. Madoka agrees to this plan and talks about how pathetic she is on the inside. They reach the Sayaka witch and Madoka tries crying out to her. Things don’t work well and Sayaka has to fight. She muses this is how they started out their relationship. Homura arrives to save an almost squished Madoka and Kyoko stays behind. She kills herself and Sayaka witch but not before wishing for miracle. Later Kyubey visits Homura, saying that he made Kyoko have hope so she would die and that would leave Homura all alone to fight the big baddie. Which means Madoka would have to become a magical girl yes? THE END!
Was it magical? Was it everything you hoped and dreamed for?
Kyoko is dead. No one is surprised right? Because I didn’t see her in episode 1. I saw Homura fighting something on her own and Madoka was all BOO HOOING. So ever since Sayaka became a magical girl and Kyoko arrived on the scene I tried to not become attached. Because chances are they were not at the major battle for a reason. Of course they both could have been at the bottom of the tower unconscious or something.
Too much too soon? Given how crazy teenager girls are maybe not...
But Kyoko is dead. Sadness has filled my sad little heart. A lot of people have argued Kyoko’s flip floppin personality and how it is slightly unbelievable. I am not going to argue that fact. I do get that she and Sayaka had a common bond now. The whole MOG we are zombies and life sucks thingy. But it was quite a change from trying to bash in Sayaka’s skull to wanting to die with witch Sayaka. Perhaps this series would have been better had it not been limited in episodes? That way the progression to sane Sayaka to crazy Sayaka and crazy Kyoko to loving, caring Kyoko would be more understood? I don’t know at this point.
However I do like the IDEA of it. I like that Kyoko wanted to steal the good territory from Sayaka. I liked that she wanted to beat the silly ideals out of Sayaka’s head. I like that Kyoko saw a lot of herself in Sayaka, bright and full of hope that magic can make the world a better place. And when the really awful truth of zombieness was revealed Kyoko wanted to bond with Sayaka. If either had lived in this series I could have seen them being friends. Or at least working friends?
So after all they have learned in this magical girl process they think LOVE will save the day? Crazy.
So putting aside that all of this was rushed I can see why Kyoko would go the extra mile for Sayaka. Like maybe she really saw herself in Sayaka and felt guilty that instead of protecting her she kinda helped along the INSANE process. Maybe she saw a chance at redemption when she took Sayaka’s body with her. Or maybe she continued to see herself. A zombie and now witch? If there was a chance to save Sayaka there would be a chance to save her too yes?
I wish she shot Kyubey after she got done asking him questions.
I think the most touching scene of this episode was Sayaka keeping Sayaka’s body warm just in case. I mean really. Madoka just went home and cried. Kyoko sucked it up and talked to the evil one in an attempt to save Sayaka. She didn’t stop and have a mental breakdown like she should have. She kept a calm head. And she looked…so lost warming Sayaka. I am sure a lot was going through her mind and it showed on her face.
Kyubey the evil will squish her normal life soon no worries.
But it was not to be. Because Kyubey is an evil alien crazy from the planet WTF. He done lied to her face (but will say he withheld the truth or something) and she thought she could save Sayaka. But when it became apparent there was no saving Sayaka she knew there was no chance saving herself. So instead of living to fight another day she put Sayaka out of her misery and went out a hero. And this hero bit actually works. Not MOG why did you stay and fight type crap. Because there is no future for Kyoko (unless that becomes Madoka’s wish, to change the system) and rather becoming someone else’s obstacle she decided to go out in her own way.
Two sad souls becoming one.
And to go out with Sayaka was important. Kyoko mused they started out fighting and went out fight. I didn’t see it that way. I saw it more as they started of strangers and died the closest they could be. Understanding how dark and horrible the world could be at times. Sayaka opened her heart to Kyoko right before she died. Sayaka could have gone out with angry words but she died with tears. So Kyoko didn’t go out bitter but resolved in the fact that at least she was helping someone.
:( Kyoko deserves a redo wish.
Although…Kyoko didn’t get her wish. Which is sad. I think she was hoping that if she killed Sayaka her soul would be released. Like they would both still DIE but Sayaka would have a chance to go to heaven/reincarnated and such.
Happy story time?
I am not really upset with how Homura handled the whole dead Sayaka issue. She has to put on a strong front because that is the only thing that is keeping her from breaking. I really think she has gone back in time many times and going through the same crazy process enough to know what to expect. Like it is groundhogs day and well who cares if those red shirt no one dies. Madoka is the key so nothing else matters.
Also Homura was in a hard place. If she killed Sayaka Madoka would want to wish her back. Not sure if that is possible but Kyubey would have a better chance of convincing her of that than bringing back a girl from a witch. If she didn’t kill Sayaka she becomes a wish, Madoka loses her mind, and then decides to be a magical girl to stop the entire process. Homura does not take the body with them and Madoka never accepts the truth and becomes a magical girl. So yes she was screwed. I forgive her for trying to be brave in the face of crazy.
And if I was Homura I be killing Kyubey all the damn time. Even if it would serve no purpose I would do it just because I could.
So Kyoko dying was not surprising. What I thought was X_X was Kyubey. He done TOLD THE TRUTH. He didn’t have to tell the truth. He could have spun things around and convinced Madoka to be a magical girl. But no he is like yeah I make you become witches WHY SO ANGRY?!?!?! In a way it should be expected but at the same time I was like whoa…is he really saying this all?!
Couldn't they just wish for more energy? X___X
Aliens people. Aliens. I mean…I was expecting him to say something…out there. But I really thought he was more evil and less matter of fact. Also people might argue that he is NOT evil and merely trying to save the universe. I am not really good this energy used/destroyed crap so I am going to focus on the other issues. Like if your race of people is so smart to discover/invent magical girls and learn that the universe is slowly eating yourself couldn’t you thought of a better plan than turning little human girls into witches?
OH OKAY!!!! Everything makes sense folks. Nothing to see here.
Like how did this United Universe meeting go? “Yeah the whole plan on recycling dead planets and turning them into the most effective greenhouses ever didn’t work. Also the Black Hole Project is a bust. But Bill here has a great idea. See we found a planet with really dumb girls. Like for real dumb. If we create a system of granting one wish per stupid girl we can harness their stupid girl emotions into an incredible source of power. And the great thing is the byproduct of this energy, the witch, will be taken out an up and coming witch so the balance of power is always still in check. We just have to invent magic, send the creepiest of us aliens to this planet, find the dumbest girls ever, and BAM. The universe is saved. Now that that problem is solved let’s do lunch”.
Like for real people. I am not even going to touch how……none of this makes sense in a common sense matter. Like they were trying to use actual science but their solution doesn’t really solve the actual science. Instead I am just going to focus on the fact that right now, somewhere on Earth, is a crazy person who thought up this show. And I might run into him in two months.
Your best friend turns into a witch and dies and you go to school? Um...how about no?!?!
Oh and Madoka pretty much sucks. I was all like MOG Sayaka is going to school right after Mami died BITCH. But Madoka does the SAME EXACT THING. And Sayaka was her best friend. So you get double asshole points. And good for you Kyoko for sticking it to her.
It is good that Kyubey told us his kind doesn't have emotions. Otherwise how would we have known?!?!
WELL THEN! That went on for a while. So theories on what will happen next. Madoka actually becomes a magical girl and her wish is to time travel and stop all this from happening which in fact creates the night of too many letters. Homura’s wish is to stop Madoka from making this wish and somehow everyone ends up their own grandparent! Heads will roll and it will probably be ours. XD
