* Why is Sayaka a lesbian? So that she can't have her heart broken by Kyousuke, of course! Same thing with [[spoiler:Mami and Kazuko]], so that the former doesn't feel alone.
* Why is Homura BroughtDownToNormal? So that she doesn't get herself killed by trying to protect Madoka. [[InHarmsWay It doesn't work]].
* Why is the general population in the know? So that Veneficus Puella can find support in others.
* Why is the world still [[CrapsackWorld royally fucked up?]] She wished for a world where her friends could survive. [[ExactWords "Survive" does not mean "live painless, happy lives"]].
** The world is still royally fucked up for the same reason [[spoiler: that it is still royally fucked up at the end of the actual series. Much of world history has apparently been driven by the Incubators in the form of the Magical Girls system. You can only change the system so much without rendering the world unrecognizable.]]
* Sayaka's magical girl costume has received a noticeable change: She's wearing a suit of armor. Now look at the description of Madoka's magical girl costume: Almost entirely black, with a long detached skirt. [[spoiler:Since in this world magical girls are powered by despair, it only makes sense that they be dressed to resemble ''their witch forms''.]]

* Madoka wished for a world where ''[[ExactWords her friends]]'' would survive, her wish did not include the rest of the world.
** [[spoiler:Sayaka's newly traumatic past. Why did it happen? So her idealism would be broken before she became a magical girl, where it would get her in trouble.]]
** If [[spoiler: Homura's going to be absolutely unstoppable, then why is Madoka's wish for a world where all her friends would survive preventing her from getting the courage to make the contract? Because the wish isn't protecting Homura. ''It's protecting everyone else from Homura.'' Of course, this means that Madoka is included in her own wish since, if she dies, Homura would [[FreakOut snap and]] ''[[WoobieDestroyerOfWorlds kill]] ''[[WoobieDestroyerOfWorlds everyone]]'' [[WoobieDestroyerOfWorlds out of sheer rage.]]]]
