* WaveMotionGun: Aliens' standard warship weapons.
* WhoWouldWantToWatchUs: ''Everyone''. In-universe, the story of Mitakihara Four is so legendary, and the movie is covering several hundred years. From (movie-makers' purely guess) DoorstopBaby that is Homura, her search of Goddess and her gradual cynicism, her contract, finding her Goddess, her leading the magical girls surviving under radar for several decades with their never aging bodies, the VeryLooselyBasedOnATrueStory sudden BigDamnHeroes of the magical girls in the Battle of Epsilon Eridani, and Homura's disappearance. And it's [[MomentOfAwesome ''awesome'']].
* YouKilledMyFather: Kyouko's sentiment against the main body Church, because their excommunication was the thing that had driven her father into PaterFamilicide. She's silently spitting at themselves as they, still too proud to beg, "melding" the Cult into them and saying that the Cult is a lost lamb that they have to "call back".
