Fanfic / Magical Girls Unite Retransformed

Go To

Written by Aj Wargo, (with assistance from Titania 21, Excessive-Menace, nightelf37, Sailor Venus 372, and other tropers and non-tropers) this story is a Crisis Crossover between many, many Magical Girl series- but the main one is Puella Magi Madoka Magica.

This story is set within one of the many alternative timelines created by one of Homura's jumps through time.

In this universe, the Incubators have managed to convert countless Magi into witches, and as a result, the world is currently under threat of their actions- but they hardly care, since it’s more energy for them.

Only one Magi remains in Mitakihara, the main town they have visited —- Seinaru Hikari, the Gold Puer Magi. Gifted power by Madoka, who retains her godlike powers, he has been tasked by her with trying to turn the witches back into girls.

However, he will need help —- and thus, he will go on a journey, traveling to the worlds of other Magical Girls and bringing them to the fold. It’s up to him to save the world from destruction at the hands of the Witches.

The story will be divided into several parts. You can read the first one here. Before you do so, though, it is highly advised you have a basic grasp of the series below.

    open/close all folders 

    Franchise List (in order of appearance) 

Magical Girls Unite Retransformed has examples of:

  • 20 Minutes into the Future: The story is set in the year 2033, far enough for technological advancements and a few extras, too, while still being modern enough.
  • Actor Allusion:
    • In the Powerpuff Girls Z chapter, Seinaru mistakes Hyper Blossom's voice for Kyubey's, as both share the same voice actor.
      • Later, he tries to show Kuroi Hoshi a video of Kyubey speaking, noting he sounds similar to Akiko. Sadly, because Kyubey is Invisible to Normals, he fails.
    • When Megan II calls her mother up, the Color Kids note that she has the same voice as Rainbow Brite.
  • Adaptation Expansion: Ultimaguil had more agents than they did in their home series, though by the time Seinaru visits the world of the Twintail Warriors, they’ve managed to kill nearly all of them. They did, however, leave behind a bevy of Elemeletion Crystals for Twoearle to use to expand beyond Tail Gears and make other Attribute Gears.
  • The Ageless: Puella Magi are revealed to be unable to age past twenty due to the nature of their contracts, making them biologically immortal. Their families also become this after eating ambrosia so their children won’t outlive them, with the same rule of they can age until twenty. If they’ve aged past that, they’re instantly immortal.
  • Arbitrary Headcount Limit: Counting Seinaru, the Purificators can only dispatch five Units at a time to another world or a Labyrinth, though Played With as Sets of two (Kagami and Tate), three (Relaxation Combat Team Valerian, Chacha's trio, Aeris and her converted Familiars), and four (the Color Kids) can each count as single Units, and Companions (such as pets like Joi) can be "attached" or "detached" as needed. It's a limitation of their teleportation system, though it can be expanded under dire circumstances such as when the time comes to handle the Huckebein, and teams of Magi can group together to cheat the system.
  • Arc Words: Two:
    • "Purity" and other words like it. These allude to Seinaru's desire to save everyone.
    • "Happy ending". This is what Seinaru wants to give to all the universes, which is done by averting their tragic fates, in order to achieve it.
  • Art Initiates Life: The Magical Sketchbook, just like in the show it comes from. Unlike canon, in Purity City, it's used to do more than just clothes, as demonstrated in the hands of Akko Kagami, Netsu Hono, and Pinkie Pie. This is explained away by its new users having a better understanding of how the items they create work (gadgetry for Netsu and candy for Pinkie), as well as belief that they would work as intended (when Netsu once made some candy, they were just marbles because she doubted they would work, but when Pinkie did the same, they worked exactly like candy because she believed it was candy). Although the "Incubator" Akko accidentally creates that Sanjunanabey shortly kills was likely a fluke.
  • The Atoner: The Six Leading Purificators are this, seeing Itzli's destruction of a civilization of aliens which lead them to develop remorse, a unseen feeling in the Incubators. They're hoping to undo the Law of Cycles in the first place.
  • A World Half Full: Part of Seinaru’s motives. Yes, the deconstruction worlds are dark and bleak, and people suffer there from sad and horrible things… But with his aid, things begin to look up for the people there, and the Magical Girls of those worlds begin to find aid and happiness.
  • Badass Army: As the story progresses, more and more heroes come to Purity City, creating an almighty army overtime.
  • Bad Ol' Badger: Downplayed. Fluttershy recruits a family of honey badgers to help her fight. While they’re very fearsome in a fight, they’re overall pretty kind to her. One of them is even named Uzaki after Brute Ratel.
  • Bat Family Crossover: Virtually every Puella Magi from across the series is present in this fanfic- and a bevy of original ones, too!
  • Big Bad: Ichibey, the King of the Incubators, and the true mastermind behind the Law of Cycles.
  • Big Damn Reunion: Many, and each one gives Seinaru strength.
  • Big Good: Madoka herself, as the deity who aids Seinaru in his fight.
  • Canon Welding: It’s revealed that the Kuro encountered by Kuroe is the same one Homura encountered.
  • Cast Full of Gay: Many of the rescued Puella Magi end up in same-sex relationships.
  • Central Theme:
    • There will always be someone who wants to help you and help others, and with that help, your life will improve.
    • Working alone is never the answer. Together, you can defeat any enemy, no matter how powerful.
  • Composite Character: The version of Cutey Honey seen here is based off her 70's and Flash incarnations. Later, she gets the mecha she used in Mazinger Angels.
  • Content Warning: Before the story starts, the reader is warned of what’s to come and advises they stop reading if they don’t want to see it.
  • Continuation: The chapter for Magical Girl Lyrical Nanoha is set to be this, with the story properly concluding the unfinished "Force" manga and seeing Hades and the Huckebein finally defeated, with the Eclipse Virus cured entirety and the Seed of Origin destroyed.
  • Continuity Nod: The events of Little Witching Mischiefs, the Japanese localization of The Unholy War, are canon here, as Honey remembers who Akko is, and, likewise, both of them remember Sally.
  • The Corruption: Physical contact with Witches or Familiars on anything that isn't a Puella/Puer Magi can influct Soul Corrosion to whoever they attack. This is why Heart Shields are provided and manufactured for protection, though each type has to be tailor-made for each "species". Honey managed to get off lucky for a while due to her artificial origins, and Tate Chiba was similarly lucky to not suffer Soul Corrosion before he was killed (and by the time he was revived, he received a Heart Shield). Later, we see the results when Sunset Shimmer, in pony form, is overcome with Soul Corrosion while fighting Maura and attacks recklessly, risking killing the Witch in the process, and forcing the party to restrain her. Thankfully, her soul was cleansed via the Purity Bomb’s blast radius that also Purified Maura.
  • Crapsack World: The universe isn’t doing so well for Puella Magi. The various cities from throughout the series are abandoned, and Walpurgisnacht is mentioned to have razed several cities across the world. And Kriemhild Gretchen rules over Mitakihara, making it a ghost town. However…
  • Crapsack World, Escapist Sanctuary: While the former is bad, Purity City serves as a nice and wonderful escape for the Puella Magi. Their troubles in life are always attended to, and the despair and tragedy of the worlds cannot reach them, with it basically being Heaven made real.
  • Crisis Crossover: One between countless Magical Girl series, more than any other fanfic.
  • Deader than Dead: If a Soul Gem is shattered, the Magi it belongs to is permanently dead and cannot be brought back to life.
  • Deconstructed Trope: Despite going against the whole idea of Deconstruction, this fic still does do this in regards to the ethics of involving certain characters who have no business fighting or don't have the means or will to do so, as exemplified when Mr. Pierrot (the Mystery Man) intervened in their plans to meet Miho, even for a support role since the pressures of battle will still reach even the likes of them. Similarly, Momo also declined the offer to join since she doesn't have the courage to face Witches. It was also decided ahead of time that Saga and Sugar were off the list since they have no combat experience.
  • Decon-Recon Switch: Part of the purpose of this story. It specifically deconstructs the Magical Girl Genre Deconstruction, noting that a world of darkness and edginess is no fun to the reader, specifically regarding how tasteless things can get at times. The story specifically has it so that the heroes of other works travel into those works and undo the darkness, making the worlds brighter and less overbearing.
  • Defeat Catchphrase: Whenever a witch is purified, they will first say a cheesy pun related to their appearance before screaming "PURITY!"
  • Demographic-Dissonant Crossover: Several of the franchises don’t mix up with one another well. For example, one chapter takes place in the kid-friendly world of Sweet Valerian, while the next takes place in the heavily-adult themed Gonna Be The Twin-Tail. And linking them all together is the Cosmic Horror Story of Puella Magi Madoka Magica.
  • Diegetic Soundtrack Usage: During the second date chapter, Seinaru and Boyfriend sing "Connect", the opening of Madoka Magica.
  • Downer Beginning: The prologue sees a failed attempt to purify Pistis, leading to Madoka deciding to give Seinaru the ability to go between worlds.
  • Everybody's Dead, Dave: By the time the story starts, every other Puella Magi from across the series has witched out or died. Seinaru is the only one alive- good thing he wished to be able to turn them back. Later on, it's revealed that there is at least one other who's still a Puella Magi, but she's currently under custody and being studied by a private company.
  • Famed In-Story: Most of the other universes visited exist as stories and games within the Madokaverse. We get our first glimpse of this in McDougal's barrier, where merchandise from several works The full list were recovered from the Son'kas, and in the chapter after that, Aeris recognizes Tail Red and calls her by name.
  • Fantasy Counterpart Religion: There’s a church dedicated towards worshiping Madoka—- naturally, the Puella Magi herself is embarrassed. Later on, Iroha gets a church, too.
  • Fictional Currency: Purity City uses Kyubucks, which look like American dollars with an Incubator head in the center.
  • Fix Fic: Beyond the changing of the fates of the Puella and Puer Magi, Seinaru also seeks to give stories which ended tragically or were unfinished a better ending. For example, when Seinaru visits the realm of Princess Momo, he saves her from being hit by the truck and helps her find the last jewel.
  • For Happiness: The Purifacators' goal with Purity City is to ensure the Magi can be happy and able to live in peace, with all troubles taken care of.
  • Foreshadowing: Future franchises to be featured get hints before their debuts. For example, Sudachi mentions being read a book about Rainbow Brite, who winds up being recruited.
  • Ghost Town: Almost every known setting is this in the Madokaverse, though how each one became a ghost town is different.
  • Go-to-Sleep Ending: Happens frequently at the end of mission. Justified in that Seinaru can only meet Madoka, Determination, and Idano in his dreams.
  • Greater-Scope Villain: It's revealed that the Incubators answer to the Council of Nine, of which Kyubey is the lowest ranking member. Each of them has a direct role in the Law of Cycles itself.
  • Heel–Face Turn:
    • Sorges, Yordas, and Haidenyans, after being turned into monstrous animals, all defect from Daimao and reform. They don’t go with the heroes, and instead stay behind to help fix the castle.
    • After being rescued, Yozuru and Sudachi reform Puella Care, with the goal of empowering and training teammates. They fully abandon the idea of helping Kyubey reach his energy quota so that he will leave Earth.
    • Seinaru convinces Dark Grasper to reform after talking to her and pointing out that working with Ultimaguil isn’t accomplishing anything.
    • After being saved and getting a pep talk, Kuro fully reforms.
    • Quiche, Pie, and Tart are all convinced to stop working for Deep Blue and they fully reform.
    • Upon their defeat, Praxina and Mephisto also reform.
    • Grosser’s three henchmen all reform when they realize the Council of Nine and the Law of Cycles are a million times worse.
  • Heroes Unlimited: The general concept is uniting every major Magical Girl Warrior you can think of into one mighty army- and some you haven’t!
  • Heroism Motive Speech: Seinaru gives one after Madoka tells him about the end of the Kamihama Civil War:
    Seinaru: That’s… That’s very bittersweet. I’m sad to hear it ended that way… But I won’t let it end that way for this timeline. Out there, in that world, many Magi are suffering and in anguish. They’re in trouble, and I won’t sit idly by, Madoka. I will save every last one of them. For you, for me, and for the entire universe… I will succeed. I will purify every single one, and we’ll all form the Purity City Magia Union… And we’ll protect the multiverse for all time. That’s my promise to you, Madoka… And I will uphold it.
  • Hub City: Purity City is a massive city located on another planet, which is meant to be a home for the Puella Magi since the cities have all been destroyed. It has many amenities for them, such as a restaurant, a university, and a theme park.
  • Humongous Mecha: Quite a few come into play, despite this not being part of the genre at large- for example, we see that Honey use the mech she used in Mazinger Angels, here renamed to "Mecha-Honey", and the Powerpuff Girls Z use the Dynamo Z.
  • Hurricane of Puns: How the PPGZ beat Freeze- Rolling Bubbles constantly makes ice puns, causing her to get angry and focus on her, leading to the other two taking her down.
  • Immortality Begins at Twenty: It's revealed that Puella Magi can age, but their bodies stop physically aging once they reach twenty (with the exception of certain cases).
  • Killed Off for Real: This typically befalls an established villain at the end of their chapter. Some don’t die, but are instead arrested or reformed.
  • Language Barrier: Shows produced in other countries have characters who don’t speak Japanese, which makes it hard for Seinaru to understand them, so an interpreter is brought along. For example, Rainbow Brite and her friends only speak English- though Rainbow can speak other languages, but only languages her show was dubbed in.
  • Lighter and Softer: Downplayed. While this is still a dark story, Seinaru seeks to make the world better by saving every Puella Magi.
  • Locked Out of the Loop: Mukuro wasn’t in on the Wings of Magius' plans regarding Walpurgis, and is mortified to hear about them.
  • Massive Multiplayer Crossover: The story comprises several characters from other universes, particularly within the Magical Girl genre.
  • Mistaken for Afterlife: More than one Purified Magi or those revived via the Pool of Souls believe that they’re in the afterlife upon being returned to life.
  • Monster of the Week: The Witches, as usual, though the story bounces between visiting other worlds and fighting them. In addition, Seinaru gets to see why the Magi who became the witch witched out, so it's also Victim of the Week.
  • Mook–Face Turn: The Purificators are defying their former superiors, the Council of Nine, in order to undo the Law of Cycles.
  • Mythology Gag: When speaking to Saga in German, Rainbow Brite addresses herself as "Regina Regenbogen", which is what she's named in the German dub of her show.
  • Naked on Revival:
    • Downplayed: Yonjuushibey's Pool of Souls revives people with only the barest of clothing for modesty sake. When Tate is revived, for example, he wears a pair of boxer shorts.
    • Played straight when Aeris detransforms one night at her home and finds herself naked when she’s about to go to sleep. She was not in her Magi form when she Witched Out, so her clothing was not preserved, and was revived in her Magi form when Bergler was Purified.
  • Named by the Adaptation:
    • The Mystery Man goes by Mr. Pierrot to Seinaru's party and the Purifactors.
    • While Chacha's father was never given a name in the series, here he is named as "Carlos".
    • Walpurgis' two familiars are named as "Umbra" (the spirits of the magical girls she killed) and "Hyakki Yagyo" (the creatures who parade to herald her arrival).
    • Kuro did not receive a name in Magia Record. Here, she is given the name of "Mukuro Yamada".
    • Lurky is given the last name of "Bismal".
    • Meiyui’s parents are named "Fei" and "Xinyi".
    • All four of the Kilico Keepers are named here. The fourth one is named Rupert.
  • No Man of Woman Born: Seinaru believes that having a team of all boys fight Isabeau, who is immune to attacks from magical girls, will work on her and defeat her.
  • Numerical Theme Naming: The vast majority of the Incubators and Purifactors have this style of name, with their names being a Japanese number and then the suffix "-bey", and the number itself usually having some relation to them. The Leading Six Purifactors don’t, as they changed their names to end their association with the Council of Nine.
  • Official Couple:
    • Rika and Ren become one after they get reunited.
    • Seinaru and Inori begin going on dates after he rescues her.
    • Asuka eventually confesses to Sasara that she’s in love.
    • After being saved and reunited with her teammates, Akira confesses to Nanaka that she loves her.
  • Orcus on His Throne: Several of the villains Seinaru faces attempt to employ this tactic, hiding within their respective bases. Seinaru responds by Storming the Castle and taking the fight to the villain themselves. There are exceptions:
    • Seinaru didn’t know where the Stress Squad was hiding, but this proved to be irrelevant when they chose to attack themselves.
    • Due to the Pits having an Anti-Magic property, Seinaru opted to lure Murky out into the open to fight him. He also does the same to the Dark Princess.
    • Chieftain chose to attack herself after Dark Grasper was talked out of fighting. Justified in that she had no more minions left.
    • The same applies to Deep Blue, who attacked when it was clear his minions were reformed.
  • Overnight Age-Up: Besides Akko and Chacha's artifacts, the Magical Sketchbook's Pen is able to grant this. Chacha once tried it to see what she would look like if she was older (it turned her into Magical Princess appearance-wise), and Erina once borrowed it from Netsu and ended up turning her body into Tail Yellow's... in her own clothes, rendering her euphoric over her now-tight clothes. Her maid Mikoto was forced to use chloroform to knock her out to turn her back to normal.
  • One-Steve Limit: Averted. With so many works covered, it would be inevitable that there’d be people with the same name. A good example comes with the Kito family, who share the exact same names as the Tsukino family- naturally, Tuxedo Mask makes note of it.
  • Original Character: Besides Seinaru, there will be several, and not just Puella (or Puer) Magi either. There are also original characters who turn out to be witches we've seen but don't know the canon identity of.
  • Our Angels Are Different: It’s revealed that, in addition to Magi brought into the Magihalla by the Law of Cycles, she has lesser angels who carry out her tasks for her on a daily basis, with Joi being the first of them to appear. These angels can turn into animals when they’re out and about.
  • Power Creep, Power Seep: With power levels all over the place for every character, it's inevitable that some cases of this will eventually occur. Puella Care do their best to help by strengthening Magi, though.
  • Reconstruction: Of the Magical Girl Genre Deconstruction, as Seinaru makes it his goal to help fix worlds that suffer from this sort of thing. Excluding his main goal of fixing the main Madoka universe, he goes to other worlds that fall under this trope and fixes them, too:
    • For Nurse Angel Ririka SOS, Seinaru is able to help Ririka destroy Buros and prevent him from spreading the Black Vaccine all across the world in his final moments, thus preventing Ririka from sacrificing herself.
  • Recruitment by Rescue: Applies to all the Puella Magi who are recruited after being tuned back to normal.
  • Redshirt Army: CARDINAL's Crimson Blouse (CB) Units, who are Hard Light constructs made by the AI to serve as general defenders of the city if ever there are attacks.
  • Released to Elsewhere: Kako is fearful that Purity City secretly does this to its inhabitants, and Seinaru, illiterate as he is, is informed about the Trope Namer by Joi. She is told that no such thing occurs.
  • Riddle for the Ages: Idano outright says the fate of the timeline where the Holy Quintet and the TSAB fought Walpurgis is this. Averted later where he reveals that they won- in a case of Real Life Writes the Plot, as the author didn’t know the Madoka X Nanoha doujin was, in fact, completed.
  • Rousseau Was Right: Seinaru operates by the logic that no Magi is truly evil, and that they can all be made to reform. He uses this logic to find something the Magi truly cares about and exploit it to reform them.
  • Sailor Earth: Par for the course for this fic.
    • One such character from the universe of the Trope Namer is Netsu Hono aka Sailor Sun, a girl who enjoys tinkering on things.
    • There’s also Cure Determination, a godly Pretty Cure who watches over the Pretty Cure multiverse. She is mentioned to have six other teammates, two of whom have appeared.
    • The visit to New Townsville garners counterparts of Bunny and Bliss.
  • Script Fic: This is how the fic is portrayed as for the most part.
  • Show Within a Show: Discussed during the visit to Chicago, when, after seeing a doll for the Sunshine Girl anime, Mamoru questions if they can recruit from worlds that exist this way.
  • Shout-Out:
    • A fair amount to OFF, ironically given how bleak said game is while this fic specifically seeks to bring hope and happiness to the world.
    • Right before any boss battle against a Witch, the words "Purification in progress..." are seen, which is the line that opens every battle in OFF.
      • In keeping with the OFF references, whenever Seinaru defeats a witch, he will say "You've been defeated, (witch name here), Witch of (witch's trait here). This soul is now pure." The Batter says a similar line every time he kills a Zone Guardian.
    • The ARK P2OSG-L42 that CARDINAL checks for a while is a reference to the ending of SOMA. Given that that satellite wasn't going to last long out there, it can be also considered a weird case of Belated Happy Ending for the cast there.
    • Parts of Tate's new shield has petals from a place called the Bladewood Grove, though the Purifactors can only acquire petals since getting the trees is impossible with their resources.
    • The Magic Sketchbook is compared to Maxwell's Notebook at least once.
    • The Akazukin Chacha chapter starts with a pair of trolls named Harold and Marvin.
    • In the Sailor Sun chapter, before Inori first uses Judgement Day to kill Jake, she says what Jack says prior to hurling his blade at Aku in the closing moments of their first fight in Episode 1.
    • The puzzle box that contained the Rainbow of Light Megan II inherits from her mother is colored on six sides: Magenta, Pink, Blue, Orange, Jade, and Brown. They are a clear reference to certain characters met in My Little Pony TV Specials: Firefly, Twilight, Bowtie, Applejack, Medley, and Scorpan. The box itself was also meant to be a pseudo-reference to the Lament Configuration.
  • Something Only They Would Say: For Sakaki to be convinced that Akiko was indeed Back from the Dead, he asks her a certain question.
    Sakaki: During our plans for the second operation since we discovered your secret, what was your role?
    Akiko: You called me the bear trap. I still don't get why you called me that of all things.
    Sakaki's face turned into a wide grin and makes a tighter embrace.
  • Sorting Algorithm of Evil: The witches are all divided into one of five classes:
    • Bronze witches are considered the weakest of the bunch. Their hosts are usually minor characters.
    • Silver witches are stronger than the bronzes, and consist of most of the witches who were simply monsters of the week.
    • Gold witches are middle of the rung. They consist of major supporting characters.
    • Platinum witches are the second strongest. They consist of the protagonists of each series.
    • Finally, Diamond witches are the strongest of all. They consist of witches who served as final bosses.
  • Spared by the Adaptation: Many of the deceased characters' tragic fates in the canon will be averted by Seinaru. By default, every Witch ever slain in canon will be Purified back into their Puella Magi selves and allowed to live.
  • Start of Darkness: Every time Seinaru purifies a Magi, he sees their final moments before they became a witch.
  • Stress Vomit: Seinaru throws up after brutally killing Dikku to his horror.
  • The Power of Friendship: When two characters who are friends or family members reunite, Seinaru gets a boost in power.
  • Throw the Dog a Bone: All the Puella Magi who have suffered throughout the series and the spin-offs finale get what they want in the end and are freed from all the pain and suffering.
    • Ren finds a genuine love interest in Rika, and the two enter a healthy relationship.
    • Sasara finds that being a hero is more than just what she thinks, and falls in love with Asuka.
    • Emiri fully upgrades her Trouble Consultation Office into a full blown therapy agency, and even gets a Purifacator partner to boot.
    • Mukuro accepts that she’s important to others, and fully embraces who she is instead of being a side character.
    • Nanaka reunites with her team, names them, abandons her vengeful ways, and falls in love with Akira.
    • Chika teams up with Fluttershy to form a new reserve for the animals of the Hokuyo forest, and learns to interact with society.
    • The Apartment Trio reunite and learn how to live independently.
    • Konomi’s flowershop thrives in Purity City, and she reunites with her younger sister Nobara.
  • Took a Level in Idealism: The more cynical Magi will gradually get their sense of faith after reuniting with their friends if they have one.
  • Turning Back Human: Seinaru can use his magic to turn Witches back into Puella Magi.
  • Undead Tax Exemption: It's Gojubey's task to justify this trope whenever Seinaru's party enter another universe.
  • Utopia: Purity City is designed to be this, an idillic and pleasant world where nothing ever goes wrong and the suffering of the Magi is eased, and everyone gets exactly what they want in life.
  • Vengeance Feels Empty: Even after she kills the two leaders of Panther Claw, Cutey Honey does not feel satisfied on her quest for revenge. Seinaru is able to pick her feelings up, though.
  • Weirdness Censor: Purity City's teleportation system invokes this on its subjects when they arrive at a new location.
  • Wham Line: An offhand comment about Helen Keller when Seinaru watches the footage of Kagami fighting Akiko’s Witch (which is named Keller) causes Nijurokubey to say, "Did you know she was also a Puella Magi?"
  • You Are Not Alone: The closing lines of Madoka Magica are used as a creed by the Church of Madoka, reflecting that those who follow her will never be alone. Madoka finds the lines familiar when Seinaru tells her it, saying that she once said them to Homura.
  • You Can't Go Home Again: The ghost town natures of the various cities across Japan make it impossible for the Magi to return home. Instead, they must live in Purity City with their friends.
  • Your Heart's Desire: The Dream Worlds are portrayed this way. When a Puella Magi witches out, their soul finds itself within a utopia that keeps them idle, unable to think about trying to leave or return to society.
