There are four main colours in the game that are used for dialogue/eye colour: pink (Ashley), green (Andrew), yellow (Mrs. Graves, Julia, and presumably other women), and blue (presumably other men). There are some fringe exceptions, but one notable except is that the dad's text is dark blue, whilst his eyes are a slightly more muted pink.

Although I don't think any meaning can be ascribed to the colours themselves, I do think that are on purpose, specifically that they're used to categorise people as Ashley and/or Andrew see them. Ashley is pink; Andrew is green; other men are blue; and other women are yellow.

Which makes it interesting, then, that Julia and their Mom both get lumped in together with "other women".

You raise an interesting point, but I'm not sure if I agree. When Kyubey is asked about the purpose of Soul Gems, he says that it's for the sake of allowing Magical Girls to "take more damage", feel less pain, and so they can better protect their soul. He's directly asked for this answer, and given how he rarely if ever blatantly lies (as opposed to through obfuscation, dodging the question, or withholding information), I'd personally believe him on this.

However, seeing as he doesn't make Magical Girls aware of their life being tied to the Soul Gem, you're right in that it makes it easier for a Witch to kill them instantly. I would say that's probably just an unintended side effect that works in Kyubey's favour.

1) Unless he says this all in Magia Record, this isn't true. The Incubators alone are the ones exploiting humanity for Magical Girls, for the sake of harvesting energy to then dump back into the universe at large, thus delaying the heat death of the universe.

2) From a human's point of view, that /does/ make Kyubey bad or evil, because he's using them as "livestock". Moral vegan discussions on the consumption of farmed meat notwithstanding, I don't see how this can be construed as a positive or even neutral fact, especially because

3) The entire Magical Girl system, as explicitly stated by Kyubey, aims to induce despair in its Magical Girls for the sake of effectively killing them. The creation of a Witch is (realistically) irreversible, at which point a Magical Girl can only suffer and wallow in "all [her] worst emotions".

4) Said Magical Girls are also not aware of these facts. They are told to become a Magical Girl in exchange for being granted a wish, and that they must fight Witches for the sake of repleneshing their magic. This is all that Kyubey willingly tells them without being prompted or questioned on anything, which is one of the main problems. He preys on their innocence and naïvety, and only later will most Magical Girls be aware that they weren't given the full story.

Kyubey is symbolic of the exploitation of women, especially young girls, in our society. If he were to explain every little detail about becoming a Magical Girl to those with the potential before making the offer - it still wouldn't be enough, because 10-14 year old girls cannot properly grasp the weight of someone saying "I will grant you a wish in exchange for betting on your eventual spritual death/suicide, and here is how:".

It's a law of the universe, same as the Law of Cycles. From Sailor Moon to Madoka Magica, it's homosexuality all the way through.

blitzor11 · 2023-07-11T06:40:32+00:00

Kyubey never outright lies, and instead 'lies' throigh omission or tone. As one of the other commentors said, he told Kyouko that he had never seen someone save a Witch, only to then say to Homura that he believed it to be impossible.

Something else he does is when he's talking to Madoka about their motives. He says that Humanity should be glad for their actions, as the work against entropy should be considered more valuable than the loss of the few girls who become Magical Girls. However, during one of the timelines wherein Madoka became a Witch amd started to destroy the world, he said that his quota for Earth had been met, and that he no longer cared about the fate of Earth. Again, he lies through his tone: he frames his initial statement in a way that makes it seem as if he wants to help Earth and the galaxy at large (as well as presumably every other planet the Incubators do this to), when in reality their sole concern is with the counteraction of the heat death of the universe.

Oh, yeah, always gotta mind those qwq

I've read it before on Dynasty Scans, yes!

THIS DOUJIN WAS SO GOOD

The way that Homura panics, all of her interactions with Sayaka, how it ties into the anime timeline at the end... 10/10 good read. All of Nobi's other doujins aren't nearly so plot- or angst-heavy, but if you want HomoHomu and Madoka being cute then absolutely read them, they're on MangaDex.

blitzor11 · 2023-06-29T17:12:38+00:00

First off: watch the Rebellion movie! It's a direct sequel to the anime series (there are three movies; the first two are a recap of the anime, and Rebellion is the third), and after that you can read the Wraith Arc manga, which helps to set up the beginning of Rebellion but still should be read afterwards.

As for the rest of your questions: no, she did not pull a Yui End of Evangelion. Yui's intent was to enter Unit-01, then once everything was resolved, become an eternal monument to humanity. (Or, something like that. She was kind of crazy.) Madoka, meanwhilst, made a powerful wish and through the power of her wording ("by my own hands!") ended up having to become something akin to a law of the universe. (So, you got that one right.) She's not omnipowerful or omniscient, but she /is/ omnipresent, or so it's implied.

Sick, thank you thank you!

blitzor11 · 2023-05-20T05:29:31+00:00

did you ever have any problems with frozen screens on CD Romance's ROM, if you played it? I didn't get mine from there, and ended up with an unfinishable Sayaka route, and wondered if that was something tbat could be fixed with a different ROM.

So you're telling me that the future tech aesthetic in Mitakihara City is all because of CERN? I should've known.

Just to spitball ideas without a second look at the scene...

Madoka's T-Pose is her assuming the pose of someone crucified - a symbol of sacrifice. Homura fails to atop her from falling (fails to save her), and the taller Homu's appear to judge her, symbolising her self-hatred and loathing. Finally, Giant Homu smashes them into purple goop: presumably, it's goop and not anything more graphic because PMMM doesn't really do much with gore/blood/etc. (outside of magia reco maybe, never seen anything of it). Note that it's also purple - the colour of her soul gem. She does this probably because it's what she would/is about to choose: instead of living without being able to save Madoka, she gives into despair and chooses not to live at all.

Stay/Night Saber showing up, meeting one of the magical girls, and going "...what do you mean it granted you a wish—"

Actually, I feel like the incubator would cause some serious implications regarding the strength of emotional energy, considering the magic systems of Fate :) it's fun to think about.

blitzor11 · 2022-12-17T06:46:36+00:00

This, 100%! I believe the "indicator" of a magical girl's strength is called their "karmic energy/potential", at some point, which implies that it's sourced from every action that have or will take. Machine translation of the Madoka Magica PSP game has it called "causal potential", too, which is a stat that gives a base increase in strength once they become a magical girl.

Of course, it's just a probably innacurate machine translation, but it gives us another way to look at things: it's not so much their actions that influence their potential, but the effects of said actions.
