Madoka 9 Unfortenely, it will still be some thousands of years before spiral energy tech is developed enough to harvest power from HOTBLOODNESS and Simon and the Dai Gurren appear to take advantage of it. Yes, all those giant robots throwing galaxies? Countless magic girls had to be sacrificed to develop them.  And even then the process wasn't perfected. Nia still blew up when all was said and done, Simon and Dai Gurren notwhitstanding. |

Madoka 10 - whoa  go watch it... .:picture spoilers within:. Pictures are worth a thousand words, so let's cut to the chase. Homura?  It begins with Homura introducing herself to the class, and Madoka is quick to make friends with her. I've got to say, Madoka's voice sounded different, and I'm guessing it was because she was confident and happy. Later, when walking home         Later...  and right after..    She's off to fight Wallpur-something  But it doesn't work out       Then there's a scene where her shield takes her back in time. I'll post the gif near the end. #2 This time, she tries to put up a fight. Also, she makes pipebombs.  This fight was awesome, everyone in the fight kicked ass (Mami, Madoka, and Homura as the finisher) You gotta watch it, screenshots doesn't cut it.  Not bad for her first time.   Sadly, Homura can't help Madoka the second time around, and it actually gets worse.   Hello Witch-Madoka  3rd time's the charm. This time, she steals from the Yakuza   There's a scene not in this picture, but it has all the characters discussing something. I'm assuming Homura is trying to convince them to stop fighting, but Homura gets veto-ed of sorts with Mami and Sayaka, I'm guess ing that they thought they could handle it. A fight happens next, this time vs. Witch-Sayaka, and Homura saves Madoka and regrettibly kills Sayaka  The aftermath of the battle   Some people are felling sad.  Except Mami, who just saw Sayaka become a Witch, so she really snaps.  Shit gets real. I would post pictures, but thee person who made this albm didn't capture them I'm guessing. Later, it's Homura and Madoka, and it looks like she couldn't save Madoka for the third time.   Her soul gem is severely tainted, and Madoka asks Homura one last thing To kill her before its too late. It's hard to see, but she's in the center, and in the third image you see the light blast from her gun. She was crying and screaming the whole time.     4th time No more glasses thanks to magic.  Hair's changed as well  Evan a new attitude. No more miss nice magical girl  A abrupt warning in the middle of the night..  ...with Kubey in her hands  Now.. this is a familiar sight, the opening of Episode 1                 Afterwards. Kyubey to the left, Homura to the right   A lot of talking, and Kyubey figures Homura out    Too late, Homura time travels while walking like a bad ass  Now.. welcome to the current timeline, number 5 (actually, 5+, who knows how many times Homura time traveled) Homura now knows what she has to do, KILL THE KUBUEY.     A quick chase, and then..    She has a great line here. "Madoka, my only friend. For your sake, I will stay in this eternal labyrinth and seek only one exit" And it's over. Roll the ED- wait, it's the OP...  Yeah, the OP is the ED this episode because it was skipped. Also..  To Be Continued.  Wow, that was an awesome episode. Seeing Madoka as a magical girl, seeing everyone alive (at some points), more witch fights, Homura's character advancement in this episode, and a happy Madoka. Also a badass Homura. Some .gifs  From the fight earlier.   Great episode, and I can only assume that it will get better.  |

Madoka 10 We now have probably the best or at least most obvious example of a PM's powers being influenced by her wish - Homura wished to redo her meeting with Madoka, which can't really be done in any way other than by time travel. Apparently, Cubey (switching to this spelling now to match the full name, official romanizations be damned) really can make anything come true, and he either has no control over what he grants or he's so lawful he doesn't care. I sure wouldn't have given a girl that knows the big truth time travel. Then again, he is alien, so perhaps he merely doesn't understand that Homura might want to change the way things go. That said...  Let's see.   As every link in this sum is divisible by p (because it contains p itself through the binomial), it follows that the entire sum is divisible by p. Since this sum is equivalent to  as per my derivation, is therefore itself also divisible by p, QED. I'm not sure offhand offhand, but I think p may be restricted to primes in the instruction because it's somehow required for the binomials to be all divisible by p. I'd need to check, but that's more effort than I want to put in right now. It's not hard, Homura. She was probably nervous. She apparently got the hang of it by the series's start, though. |

I must say I TOTALLY called this episode. Homura didn't bother telling anyone about the truth because she already had done so, and it really didn't work that well. This is, the gun girl completely snapped when she realized the truth. Very bad end. I see one way remaining to stop Madoka from becoming a witch...
Kill her.
Homura has been there, done that. Wasn't exactly satisfying. The only possible good end for her is to save Madoka. And considering she can save-load scum ad nauseam, it makes sense for her to keep trying every possible aproach. Or have her wish not to turn into a witch (or change back immediately, so Kyubey still gets the energy he needs), though that would ruin the drama.  Kyubey confirmed on another episode he can't reverse the Puella Magi transformation. So he probably can't reverse the witch transformation. Following Agita's train of tought, the creepy alien bastard can't really control the transformation. It can unlock the power of feelings on little girls, upon wich it manifests in diferent ways depending on their personality, and then eventuall spirals out of control. I bet its the Magical Girl herself granting her own wish when the transformation happens. Homura holding so long is whitout doubt thanks to her hax time travel power. While the other girls eventually faced walls of despair/headchomped, Homura can just press reset and start a New Game Plus. Heck, she even gets to keep her old skills and experience! |

Kyubey not being able to reverse the transformation doesn't mean that wishes can't reverse the transformation. Even if he thought of it, Kyubey would have no reason to suggest making that kind of wish. |

Kyubey not being able to reverse the transformation doesn't mean that wishes can't reverse the transformation. Even if he thought of it, Kyubey would have no reason to suggest making that kind of wish. Perhaps I should elaborate a little more: -Kyubey confirms that Madoka couldn't revert Sayaka to normal with just a wish, but she could do so with her own puella magi powers if she made the contract. -Aka, the finitial wish is just the first flash of the power of the Puella Magi. Once they get the hang of it, they can perform even bigger miracles. -This rises the problem however that the Walpurgis Night is still around the corner, and the only one who can defeat it is ascended Madoka. And by "ascended" I mean... The giant thing in the background piercing the heavens that forgot she ever was an human and will destroy the world. Basically, Madoka is on a completely diferent level than the other girls. Only she could reverse their transformation because she's stronger than all of them put togheter... But who can turn her back to normal should she acept the contract and go out of control after defeating the Walpurgis Night? |

The mind transcends the body. It's also a little cold because of that. Please get it a blanket. I wish I could read your mind, I can barely read mine. "Skynet begins to learn at a geometric rate. It becomes self-aware at 2:14 a.m. Eastern time, August 29th. At 2:15, it begins rolling up characters."
"Just what do you think the moon up in the sky is? Everyone sees that big, round shiny thing and thinks there must be something round up there, right? That's just silly. The truth is much more awesome than that. You can almost never see the real Moon, and its appearance is death to humans. You can only see the Moon when it's reflected in things. And the things it reflects in, like water or glass, can all be broken, right? Since the moon you see in the sky is just being reflected in the heavens, if you tear open the heavens it's easy to break it~"
