* GilliganCut: Ashtaroth's defiance of Sayaka's common sense.
-->"The witch isn't going to just sit back and let you ''explain''!"\\
You sit back and let Hitomi explain as she begins rapidly recapping the events of the last few hours.



* WhatMeasureIsANonHuman: Played with. Though magical girls are changed when they become witches, all of the witches shown in the story so far do at least think and feel in some capacity [[spoiler: and can be placated]], so anyone paying attention will notice that they are not just mindless murder monsters. It is unclear how much humanity they have lost, however.

Consequently, magical girls often can't be bothered to talk to witches while they pose a very real threat, let alone console or befriend them. Meanwhile, Kyubey cannot comprehend what motivates witches to act as oddly as they do, so supposedly he distrusts any signs of sapience and sees absolutely no point in trying to understand or communicate with witches... not that he cares much how they think and feel.

* OutsideContextProblem: Ashtaroth becomes a big one for Homura by randomly getting involved in one timeline. Though Homura inevitably encounters unknown witches on occasion, she was particularly unprepared for a witch that had the powers and smarts to successfully trick and almost eat her.

Aside from having unique looks, it's missing both the serving platter and the ribbons that all the others have. The latter is particular is turns out to be important, as [[spoiler: it means Candeloro can't just immediately tie the familiar up with them to stop it from escaping her cottage.]]

* ForWantOfANail: Apparently, if Ashtaroth hadn't accidentally interfered, [[spoiler: the initial timeline we see would have been Homura's final one.]] In other words, by showing up in Mitakihara, Ashtaroth utterly derailed the intended "end" of canon completely by accident.

* UnwittingInstigatorOfDoom: Shemesh misinterprets what Ashtaroth wants from him, and ends up grabbing Hitomi off the sidewalk. The chain of events this kicks off ends up leading to [[spoiler: Sayaka and Tira getting subsumed, Mami turning into a witch, and the timeline that ''should'' have been Homura's final one getting discarded just like all the rest.]]

* UnsafeHaven: You'd think Ashtaroth's barrier would get invaded slightly less given that she tends to keep it fairly high off the ground, but pretty much every magical girl who's made a determined effort at getting inside has somehow managed it anyways.
