notice how golden is the color of gods’ blood and red - is of humans’. by redoing Madoka’s hair and replacing the yellow ribbon with a red one, Homura shows how she doesn’t accept Kaname as a god. idk just found it kinda symbolic, maybe it’s not what the creators were going for

Madoka: “I do think It’s kind of bad breaking rules because you feel like it” Also Madoka:“I want them to stay smiling until the end. If any rule or law stands in my way I will destroy it. I will rewrite it”

[@Noahk98]

Madoka broke the laws to save magical girls. Homura broke Madokas laws to save Madoka. However, magical girls still don’t turn into witches due to Homura making the incubators take the magical girls curses. But still, Homura did undermine and usurp Madoka.

[@CL361]

@@Noahk98 "Madoka broke the laws to save magical girls." And Homura. People always forgets that one of the things that impulsed Madoka the most to made her wish was save Homura. After all, Madoka didn't make up her mind until Kyubey told her that Homura's destiny was to keep repeating the same month until she became a witch, and instead of made her wish immediately, she first went to verify what Homura's condition was. Honestly, I think that if Homura would have won against Walpurgis Madoka would have never made her wish (especially after reading Homura's revenge). "Homura broke Madokas laws" The law of cycles is still working. As Homura told to Sayaka, she don't broke it (in a sence of "destroy/damage it"), she just took a little part (who was Madoka before being a concept) of it. Homura broke the rules of the universe in the same way as Madoka, because she rewrite the universe to get a desired result, like Madoka. The only difference was the things that they wished for. "However, magical girls still don’t turn into witches due to Homura making the incubators take the magical girls curses" Magical girls still don't turn into witches because the law of cycles is still working. Homura is making the incubators take the world curses (the curses that give born to the spectres), that is why she told to Sayaka that the spectres would eventually disappear. "Homura did undermine" Tha's seems like an exaggeration to me. Madoka's system (the law of circles) is still working, and Homura's world is exactly like the one that Madoka made, with the exception that in Homura's world, Madoka exists and is a normal person... and there are some familiars that nobody notices running around, and the moon is split in half, but those things don't seem to affect the way the world works, so who cares?

[@Noahk98]

@CL372 1. I still believe that even if Homura had defeated Walpurgis, Madoka still probably would have made her wish. Madoka is a very selfless person, and she sees herself as someone who doesn’t have anything to offer to the world. Madoka knows that she is the only girl with enough power to make that wish (eradicating witches) bc of Homura repeating timelines focused on her. Madoka would also know that Homura would still eventually become a witch, plus she can also prevent Sayaka from ever becoming a witch. This is why I believe Madoka would still make her wish to save all magical girls even if Homura had won. 2. I’m pretty sure the incubators are the ones bearing the magical girls curses. I read this on Wikipedia about Kyubey: “In The Rebellion Story, which takes place after the series, Kyubey sealed Homura outside the Law of Circles' jurisdiction to force Madoka back into the physical world in an attempt to restore the witch system of the previous timelines since his kind have been harvesting less energy in the new system. But the scheme backfired when Homura ended up stealing Ultimate Madoka's powers for herself, enslaving Incubators to take Madoka's place in taking on the curses of the new world. Kyubey is last seen lying on the ground, disheveled and shivering as he is driven mad by his sudden ability to feel emotions combined with being forced to shoulder the combined grief, suffering, and despair of every magical girl that is, was, or ever will be.” So yes, the law of cycles is still intact, with a piece missing (Madoka’s human self). This doesn’t negate the fact, however, that Madokas system is undermined in a sense. They both broke laws but you can’t compare them because Madokas reasons were entirely different and selfless. She sacrificed her own life in order to give magical girls salvation. Yes, in a sense it’s not fair bc Homuras only wish was to save Madoka and be with her and Madoka left her. I’m sure Madoka didn’t want to leave Homura. In fact, the lyrics to her character song “see you tomorrow” kind of confirm that Madoka really wanted to stay and not leave earth. In the flower scene, Homura realizes this and I think it has to do a lot with Homuras decision to “tear Madoka from the heavens”. In the rebellion manga, Homura literally says she undermined Madoka. Yes the law of cycles is the same but it’s also different. She says that “she was as sacred as a god, but I fooled and undermined her!” You can tell that Homuras world is very unstable. The familiars running around (just bc no one can see them doesn’t make it ok), the moon in half, the fact that Madoka was able to unravel homuras universe just by questioning her purpose in life. Homura stopped her then, but she knows that one day she won’t be able to. Homuras world is essentially a universe sized barrier/labyrinth. A seemingly perfect dollhouse, if you will. This world isn’t permanent; it’s a temporary, desperate solution. Homura knows this. So while Homura was able to give Madoka her old life with her family and friends, she still did, in a sense, betray her. Homura knows this and hates herself for it, it’s why her familiars commit suicide and throw tomatoes at her. So yeah, Homura and Madoka broke the laws but for entirely different reasons. I’m not saying what Homura did was entirely wrong. Her intentions were good, her methods are a bit questionable. I don’t think it’s fair for people to say “Homura did nothing wrong” or “Homura did everything wrong” bc it’s a very complicated and gray situation. I feel bad for Homura, honestly. She isn’t a villain, but people see her that way so now she’s just acting the part because she knows no one will understand her. I can’t blame her for her actions either; the girls been through so much shit. They both just deserve to be happy. Also, even if Homura had gone with Madoka to the afterlife, it’s likely the incubators would keep trying to control her and revert the timeline back to witches. Madoka, being the omnipresent goddess she is, probably would be able to stop them. However, let’s say they would have been successful in capturing Madoka and reverting the world back to magical girls turning into witches. Then, in a way, Homura may have done the right thing after all. I just feel like most people forget the fact that this is not a permanent situation; Madoka will regain her memories and powers eventually and who knows what will happen then. Homuras unstable world will probably begin to unravel like it did in the ending of the film. Only this time, Homura won’t be able to stop her... Homura is a badass though and such an interesting character. She’s definitely one of my fave characters.

[@Noahk98]

CL372 I think the good thing about rebellion is fans can interpret things how they want, so it’s alright if we don’t agree. I haven’t read Homuras Revenge but I’ll definitely check it out. I do really feel like if Walpurgis was defeated, Madoka would still probably have made her wish because she was so distraught over magical girls becoming witches. And she’s the only one with the power to make the wish to change that. Even though Homura wouldn’t become a witch then, she still would eventually. After all, this is the end for all magical girls. I believe if Madoka realized that she, and only she, has the power to prevent Homura from ever becoming a witch one day, and also undo Sayaka from becoming a witch, she would definitely still make the wish. Madoka asks Kyubey in the series if she became a magical girl, would she able to do things he couldn’t do? (Turn Sayaka back to human). And then she was about to make a wish (before Homura shot him). I still view Homuras world as unstable tbh. The Homuverse is the real universe but I feel like it’s implied to also be like a barrier because of her familiars existing, as well as when she rewrites reality, you can see the colors from her soul gem engulfing the universe. So I feel like while her world is real, it still is, in a sense, like a barrier. Yes, all the girls are happy but i just get this feeling it’s like a sweet dream that they will all have to wake up from eventually (like the lyrics in “Made Dama Yo” talk about). You say Homura did not betray Madoka because she gave her a happy life while still having the law of cycles function. I feel like the betrayal part comes from when Homura took away Madokas powers and memories and usurped her. Madoka was telling Homura to stop or else she’ll be ripped apart. Homura split her apart anyways. This is where the betrayal comes in. I think the fact Madoka can unravel Homuras universe does allude to the instability of her world. You say madokas world is unstable because of the emotions released by Homuras soul gem distorting reality, but I don’t think that’s really the same thing? I feel like the writers included the familiars and broken moon to imply that something is not right with Homuras world. Something is off. Are homuras actions selfish? You say no. Her reasons aren’t selfish (giving Madoka a happy life). But remember, she only cares about Madoka, no one else. She didn’t even intend for Sayaka to be in her world. She’s denying Madoka from knowing the truth bc of her wanting Madoka to be the normal girl she knows and loves. In a way, this is selfish. Homuras selfishness is unique bc it’s not selfishness for herself, it’s selfishness for someone else. Let’s face it, Homuras love for Madoka has turned into an unhealthy obsession. All the pain she’s been through corrupted her love for Madoka and that’s what corrupted her soul gem. What Homura did was both selfish and selfless. Selfless bc she gave Madoka a happy life while sacrificing her own happiness. Selfish bc she lacks consideration for others; she went against Madoka even when Madoka told her to stop and took away her powers and memories just for her to have a temporary normal life. I love that madoka and all the other girls get to live happy normal lives but it’s sad bc one day it’s going to be over. Madoka will regain her powers and who knows what will happen then? It’s a sweet dream that they’ll all have to wake up from eventually. Anyways, like I said I think it’s ok for us to disagree because it’s art and art is open for interpretation, esp with a film like rebellion.

[@CL361]

@@Noahk98 "I think the good thing about rebellion is fans can interpret things how they want, so it's alright if we don't agree." I agree with you on this. (Although, I also believe there are some things in rebellion that are so clear that they are not open to interpretation, but the end is definitely not one of them) I still disagree with several of the other things you have said, but I will stop here because I know we will not come to an agreement (and as you said, that's fine), but first, I will make a clarification because I think you misinterpreted one of my previous statements: "You say madokas world is unstable because of the emotions released by Homuras soul gem distorting reality," I never said such a thing. This "Homura also distorted the surrounding reality when she released the emotions within her soul gem, does that mean the Madoka's world was unstable?" was a rhetorical question. I was practically saying that just as Madoka's world was not unstable just because Homura was able to "fragment" it just by releasing the energy within her soul gem, Homura's world was no less stable just because Madoka could "distort" it by just unleashing her powers (in both cases, reality was distorted not because it was "fragile", just because the power that a certain being released was too "strong", that's what I meant) . Also, I think you are confusing the concept of selfishness. Selfishness is specifically thinking only of yourself and acting only for your own benefit. Not caring about what happens to other people is not being selfish (unless it's tied to some desire of own benefit), it's being inconsiderate.

[@ibrahimihsan2090]

The movie doesn't really make you care whether she is good or bad. All it does is tell us how she is going through all of this and how it effects her mentality. But if I had to choose between whether she's good or whether she's bad by personally judging her actions, I'd choose bad because even though she isn't herself a malicious person, her goals and actions ultimately can only be described by myself as not following the right path and not having a good result. Her little "Do you care about the world over your own wants?" question to Madoka is ultimately a red flag for me. Alongside her messing with reality to partially bring Madoka back to existence and then her attempts to keep her from going back rather than accept her sacrifice, it just isn't right unless you just straight up choose her side and believe she had all the right to do what she did in the movie. I still could sympathize with her. I could see her strong and unbearable sense of loss but none of that really gives any justification for her actions, just understandable reasons and reasons aren't excuses. Again, the movie is great, Homura is great, but that doesn't mean she did the right thing.

[@lorebleh]

the red thread symbolizes a lot, souls that are destined to be together forever, right? or... something like that... I don't know... I lived on gacha sorry and madoka has the red ribbons in her hair, right? at the end of the anime, she gives her tapes to homura, who was the only thing left of madoka's existence, surviving from the recreation of the world and the universe Which means they're meant to be together or something... and at the end of rebellion, homura returns madoka's ribbons what can symbolize that homura thinks she doesn't deserve madoka's love they don't deserve to be together because homura thinks what she did was wrong, worthy of a villain so she now acts like she's a villain and who doesn't deserve madoka's love.

[@esthererica7406]

Yeah, I think that's quite obvious. The red thread is often called "red thread of fate" which means two people are destined soulmates and are connected to each other for lifetime. Homura giving back the ribbon could symbolize the cutting of the thread, thus separating her from Madoka. In the epilogue scene, there's also a ribbon tying the window where Madoka used to reach out to Homura before witching out. That also could symbolize Homura denies any hope/salvation or fate itself is preventing her from getting saved this time. I'm scared for Homura's fate now. Hopefully she doesn't die if Madoka is ever saved and brought back to life in the end.

Loc K not really. She knows Madoka will find out the truth. The only reason she created this world was because of the flower scene, where Madoka tells her she never really wanted to become a goddess. Now she sees Madoka show signs of remembering the past, she knows they'll one day become enemies, but continues to love Madoka and hope for her happiness. Madoka was the only person to ever show her love, so of course, as you say, was her only source of happiness. Because of that sheared obsessive, but she realised that upon becoming a demon, which is why she orders the Clara dolls to torture her still. It's nothing but intense self-hate. Poor home-girl woulda been fine if she had been shown more love throughout her life and the following timelines.

I don't know whether to slap Homura or hug her. On one hand she's being totally selfish and wanting to keep Madoka to herself and allow the world to suffer, on the other hand she's being totally selfless by becoming a demon to allow Madoka to escape a fate she never wanted in the first place (being God).

[@903IDFOLEY]

_Keep Madoka for herself_ There is no indication she did, nor any evidence (other than in gag comics) that she desires such a thing. On the other hand, if Homura did have this aim in mind, then there is no reason to keep Sayaka, Mami, Kyoko and Babe around, since they could one day figure things out and get in the way of her plans. _Allow the (puella magi?) to suffer_ How so? Homura told Sayaka she only took the part of the Law of Cycles which contained Kaname Madoka's memories, which to me is an indirect suggestion that the Law of Cycles still functions properly. In the same conversation, they also talks about Wraiths being a problem, but makes no mention of Witches which would logically be a far greater problem. This is further indication that the Law of Cycles still functions, and Witches do not exist in Homura's new world.

[@percyross7612]

903IDFOLEY Sorry, I mean "the world to suffer" but sometimes my fingers are faster than my keyboard and my phone doesn't register words that I write in. And she DOES want to keep Madoka to herself. She selfishly would rather have Madoka and let all magical girls suffer. She even says that she wants Madoka and is happy that she finally has her and is never letting her go. I'm not just talking about this one scene at the end of the movie. I'm also accounting for the scene where Homura becomes a demon and the flower field scene. All of these point to Homura wanting to selfishly possess Madoka and also wanting to protect Madoka from a fate she never wanted.

[@903IDFOLEY]

+Percy Ross Saying you "won't let someone go" can have many meanings, not necessarily you want to keep them all to yourself. The fact remains that Homura does none of the things she _should_ have done if Homura intended to keep Madoka for herself. And were _exactly_ does it show the puella magi suffering after Rebellion's ending? Does Babe look unhappy with being alive again? Is Mami sad now that she has Babe to keep her company for real? Kyoko and Sayaka finally becoming friends for real? Sayaka being alive and finally being able to say "good morning" to her friends? Homura named herself as the devil because she is the one who rebelled against god, and she named herself as such due to her self-loathing for doing what she did to Madoka.

Quote from a Japanese Youtubian: _"Maddy Magic is actually about the perpetual failure of Homura. No matter what she's doing and how she's doing it, things are always gonna be getting worse and worse. And her eventual demise is actually unavoidable."_ And when I honestly look at the series' happenings - especially Ep10, which is actually Ep00!! - then I gotta say: Yup, he's entirely right! Homura is the actual main char and anti heroine, "Maddy Magic" is therefore an intentional misleading, much like that infamous "light-hearted MG series"-announcement, if you remember. And therefore it isn't about "Girl becoming Goddess of Hope/Law of Cycles" = Madoka...it's actually about "Girl fighting an insane yet himself actually desperate Diety" = Homura vs. Kyubey!! And therefore = This ending, as shocking and infamous it might be, was meant to be exactly that way from the beginning!! Don't let looks deceive you! And don't let yourself be getting tricked by the authors!

Homura's new world, then, is also easily broken, as we see by Sayaka calling upon Oktavia somehow, despite the new world saying she shouldn't be able to, because if Sayaka wasn't a magical girl, then Oktavia wouldn't exist. There's also Madoka beginning to remember on her own and reality begins to shift again. Who is the only one who could stop that? Homura. Meaning Homura is equal to Madoka in power. I think Homura and Madoka are now two halfs of a whole.

[@tynkerbellvod]

wait, in the beginning. did she regain a small part of her memory? is that why she hesitated? I think the next movie is gonna have Madoka with a little bit of her memory back.

[@neitherlink6612]

Tinker Bell no, the Madoka we see is the personality aspect of the law of cycles, Madoka as a goddess, that was broken off by Homura in order for the later to finally have a normal life. But, since she is still a part of the law of cycles, all she needs to do in order to be reunited again is to remember. That’s why Homura says that she is bound to fight her, because it’s impossible to keep Madoka, because of how powerful she is, as it is

I honestly think the ending was perfect, not silly. Not all endings need to be happy. Besides, this makes perfect sense for Homura's character. You think after all that she has been through she would just accept Madoka's wish?

[@bardfall9555]

Is a happy ending (for the reality that is as the existence of 'God' and 'Devil' solve the problem of entrophy) Is bitter sweet and ironic because kyuubi achieve his goals but was rewarded with eternal suffering Homura solve the main villian that keep causing suffering and managed to obtain a normal and fufilling life but now she is more than a mortal so is madoka (from here i suspect just like the first part of this movie who know the number of cycles homura have been living a normal and fufilling life with madoka) The nature of devil is indulgence in desire Perhaps shegot bored of repeating the normal and fufilling mortal life with madoka and want to let go of her control over madoka which result in her subconciously guiding madoka to recover.

[@user-lu8st6zh5y]

Wait... What if Homura didn't do anything to stop her from remembering?

[@903IDFOLEY]

Bruce Wayne Yes, but the problem is Madoka would also reclaim her place in the Law of Cycles which is currently being hijacked by Homura. If Homura is cut off from the Law of Cycles, it is unlikely that she would have enough power to contain the incubators. The incubators would then be free to target Godoka again, and with Godoka being unwilling to defend herself, the incubators will eventually succeed and everything becomes 50 times worse.

[@Hattakiri]

superyoshiom Concerning the vid description...hmm... *1) "The ending was so silly!"* - Really? Let's have a brief look... kzbin.info/www/bejne/kIe8gaSlm951iNU H: I had a very scary dream._ M: A scary dream? H: In that dream Madoka went to a place far away, a place that I could never reach. I was the only one who remembered Madoka, I was lonely and in pain. However no else understood my feeling. In the end I doubted whether or not the Madoka I remembered ever existed in the first place or just that something I imagined. M: That is a very painful dream, however don't worry, *i would never go away and leave you alone.* H: How can you be so certain? M: *Because it's me.* If that it's something that even Homura-chan started to cry about, I would never be able to endure it. H: That is also something that is unbearable to you? M: That is right, Homura-chan Sayaka-chan, Mami-san, Kyouko-chan, papa, mama, Tatsuya and Hitomi-chan and the rest of the class, *I don't want to part with any of you.* Even if that is something I must do, I would not have the courage to go through when the time comes. H: Ah... is that so.... *Are these your true feelings then?* Then I was a fool to have misunderstood it. I should not have approved. I should have used every possible mean to stop you back then. Madoka... M: Eh? H: I know.. that you are kind to everyone and not afraid of making choices. When you feel that there is something that only you can do, you would not hesitate even if it means hurting yourself. M: Homura-chan? H: As I thought... you didn't remember it. Once I thought you were just a mirage... a construct made by someone else. How else would I have been able to meet you again like this? *But I know, you definitely are the real Madoka.* I am really happy, to be able to speak to you again, to be able to feel your gentleness like this once more. Thank you, this is more than enough happiness for me. I need to go now, there are still much to be done. M: Homura-chan? I don't understand, Homura-chan ...wow... T.T *2) "They should continue the series!"* Hmm, will be enormously difficult...but they themselves stated that they intend exactly this...I'm veeery curious how...

[@夢すき]

Hattakiri Have you not seen the concept movie? And they DID leave us on a cliff hanger with the epilogue. I don't think it would be that difficult to continue the series.

[@Hattakiri]

夢すき Of course I've seen it. I'm a little bit surprised however that Mami seems to be getting a bigger (i.e. very decisive) role, and I'm curious how they are going to build this up... There are moreover, as it seems, shots of Elsa (the red star in the castle) and maybe even Walpurgis (that witch that looks like an octopus). There are hints that Kyuubey's still somehow and somewhere there... And yet - I found Tesh's spoof more convincing: Kind of like Mirai Nikki an incubator is the 3rd level of a magical girl, because one day the most powerful of all "recruits" must replace the old incubator. (The entropic heat loss always will be greater than the emotional energy an incubator can gather from no matter how many girls. Turning the universe totally upside down and inside out is the only way to solve this, kind of.) Actually Madoka or Homura where the ones, but they sort of forced Kyuubey to stay. Now he is there as girl with red eyes... Veery intruiging and stunning, but, as it seems, not true at all. I am really curious what will happen...

[@夢すき]

Hattakiri Me too. I'm wondering if they'll show how Walpurgisnacht even came to be, since she seems to be a combination of many Witches as the German Legend told of. They're incorporating many new ideas into this movie. I kind of hope this is the last movie, though. They can't continue the series forever.

[@Hattakiri]

夢すき As for Walpurgisnacht: In ep12 during Ultimate Madoka's salvation, we get to see that teddy bear girl from the future, and within the same sequence another girl is shown in a volcano-landscape of sorts, in a purple-violet dress with frills, which looks like from the 19th century in Europe. She has hair braids too... ...is _this_ girl meant to be(come) Walpurgis? How did this happen to her, and why is she trying to catch Elsa? (And how could Elsa escape, since she definately remained an autonomous being? At least if we take the Concept Movie literally...) If the purple-dressed girl really is Walpy: Why is she, at all, recruiting magical girls herself? She is sort of rivalling Kyuubey after all - which later Homura will be doing in her own way (and Ultimate Madoka in yet another way if we want to be honest). Therefore: Was Walpy once the first "Homura", so to speak? And why? I'm of the opinion: Since a witch's appearance is always a corruption of the former magical girl's life (which contains the reason why she made a contract with Kyuubey), Walpy was once involved in a circus, most definately. With all the animals, especially elephants in our case. During her mutation she literally devoured the entire circus... Manga and anime history: We had a circus in Astro Boy, fallen robots were there...does this mean: A circus with fallen and homeless magical girls? Who can now "utilize" their magic abilities as "attraction"? This could also mean however: The other magical girls there promised to _never leave each other alone_ !! Yes, that infamous term called "Leitmotif" = recurring yet evolving element... Walpy as the most powerful one became the center of the new witch being ("Center of karmic destiny" = another leitmotif!) And since that phrase was burned into her mind: She from now on would never ever allow any magical girl to leave her alone, thus she would proceed to hunt and chase them all!! Ok, then we had the (in)famous Dead Moon Circus in SAILOR MOON!! Which would be a crucially heavy reference - and another proof that the phrase that goes like "Madoka did what Sailor Moon didn't" isn't true at all..."In defence for Sailor Moon", feel free to google for this...) Concerning the continuation of the franchise in general: Well, they were kind of clever, because thanks to that concept of Homura always resetting the time they simply can build spinoffs into one of those timelines: Oriko and Kazumi for example; and then there are the many opportunities for prequels, for instance Tart, who already got her manga, and Cleopatra and many more are still waiting (ep12). The Wraith arc is mentioned only briefly and quickly in the main show, and yet they've started an extra take on this too, right? And the PSP Battle Pentagram offers multiple paths, for instance Kyoko will go to school again after her successfull arc - which actually cannot work in my humle opinion, because she is still a magical girl and has a dead body as we know, and she will never get older and she only can die due to an accident... Logical continuity without (too much) contradictions - another reason why they should not exaggerate the adding of new story lines...

[@夢すき]

Hattakiri What I believe they should do in the future is show what happened to the other Magical Girls in the series. Clearly, there were other Magical Girls around or in Mitakihara, as there are Witches there. I want to know how Kirsten Elly, Patricia, ect. came to be. I think that would be a pretty cool spin-off series. As for the concept movie, I feel that there is visuals that we have missed. I saw in a video that Hitomi might become a Magical Girl. It's also good that Mami will be more significant, as she was a bit of a bland character in my opinion. There's probably so many more references. I'm just hoping to figure out if Walpurgisnacht is some type of super Witch and how she really came to be. I've also heard a theory that Walpurgisnacht was a Magical Girl who wished for infinite wishes, which seems valid. I also heard another one where Walpurgisnacht is really Homura from the future who just time-travelled to the past. Pretty weird stuff. We can only look to the future, though. I'm sure they'll answer the questions we all have.

I think desire is more important than stability and order. as long as the things you want to do won't hurt anyone, you should have the right to do whatever you want. it's hard to decide whether homura's action was good or bad.

[@eduardoaguilar3421]

+SwaggBunny It depends the point of view, there are people that think what homura did was good and people that think what homura did was bad, from homura's point of view what she did was good, because she thinks that is the life madoka wanted and because of another reasons and if madoka regains her memories, from her point of view she will think that what homura did was bad.

[@ririzoreVT]

Eduardo Aguilar Actually it’s complicated for Homura. Yes she created a universe where Madoka is happy but she hates herself for what she’s done because she is no longer Madoka’s friend and will fight her when the time comes.

Can someone tell me the true ending? Like legit...I saw all 3 movies and the anime and idk wich order they are in...in the ending of rebellion...where Homura turned into Devil Homura..is that the true ending...like she said to Madoka,that suffering is the destiny of a Magical Girl? And Kyubey said that the worst wast to drive crazy and become a witch..Well Homura insanely loves Madoka...then what the Mami' head is the real ending!?

[@夢すき]

Bunny♥Senpai The first two movies are basically the recap of the series. Rebellion, the one where Homura turns to a devil, is, in a way, the end, but there is a fourth movie to come. Rebellion is a sequel to the original series and the two movies, and the fourth movie will be a sequel to Rebellion. Hope that clears some things up.
