I always curious about Kyubey. Is he a liar? From what he said, it seems like his schtick is withholding the full truth, but he never spoke outright lies... Except when he talked his great vision to Madoka, how magical girls help humanity and such... only for it to be disproven when it becomes apparent that soon humanity will be destroyed, and the destruction was brought by magical girls and Kyubey's actions. Was he lying then? Was he just as unaware about the impending doom as everyone else except Homura? It seems that even for his advanced race magic is terra incognita, maybe Kyubey was playing with fire without knowing how it'll burn everything.
