Was the former Witch system the result of some previous [[FanNickname meguca]]'s previous wish, or the unintended consequence of her wish? How many times can the universe handle this temporal strain?

* While she is ultimately a BigGood, TheReveal of Sayaka's (seemingly) true nature is frightening. After Homura realizes that she's holding something back and asks her who she truly is, Sayaka responds in an unsettlingly calm voice that she's the same Sayaka she's always been. She then refers to Homura as "transfer student", revealing that she's the Sayaka from the original timeline - who ''turned into a witch'' - while bending in an unnatural way to flash Homura a SlasherSmile. And her reflection in the water changes to reveal ''Oktavia von Seckendorff''.

* The "Escape from Mitakihara" sequence, particularly if you're claustrophobic or just have a more esoteric fear of being trapped.

As the landscape darkens, its wheels begin to look worryingly like eyes, and the lit windows come to resemble a mouth.

** While the girls ''board'' the right bus, any time it reaches the point where it should leave the city. It turns into the bus for the Mitakihara Loop, and returns them to the start. When they challenge the driver, they find that he pays no attention to them -- in fact, he's no more than a puppet playing its part. There's ''no way out''...because it's a labyrinth with the exit sealed off.
** When the girls decide to walk to the next town, the path simply becomes an EndlessCorridor to thwart them. Many people will attest to having dreams just like that, where they desperately try to get to a destination, only to get lost or to find themselves walking for miles while making no progress.

* While Homura talks with Kyubey before her transformation into Homulilly, there's a shot of what appears to be a half-eaten lizard with its insides visible. Worse still, the lizard is still alive, as evidenced by its twitching leg and visibly still-beating heart.

** In the series, Kazuko was a teacher who would often complain about her breakups with her boyfriends, often derailing the class in a humorous manner. In the movie, [[spoiler:she starts raving about doomsday theories and the demise of the human race while bending her back at an unnatural angle.]] ''In front of the whole class, no less.'' However, this can quickly turn into a CrowningMomentOfFunny if you consider that Madoka mentions Kazuko had been doing this for a while now, and guesses that it has to do with her (shocker) relationship problems. The students also have a pretty humorous reaction to her rambling: none at all, barring a few unnerved looks, and Kyouko's expression can only be described as "well, here we go again..."
