* DomesticAbuse: While their abusive behavior towards their girlfriends is never shown on-screen, a great deal of their conversation is about it.



* HumansAreTheRealMonsters: The only exception to the WhiteAndGrayMorality of the original series, whose villains are either Witches, Magical Girls, or a StarfishAlien HiveMind trying to save the universe, had to be a duo of misogynist abusers without any clear evidence of awareness of (let alone access to) magical powers.



* OffstageVillainy: Their abusive behavior is never shown on-screen, just mentioned.



* RiddleForTheAges: Did Sayaka kill them or not? The anime doesn't say, the manga on the other hand...



* TooDumbToLive: Bragging about being a misogynist abuser in front of some random stranger who is actually an emotionally-unstable Magical Girl with severe BlackAndWhiteInsanity: worst way to live ever.

!!Train Passengers
!!!'''Voiced by:''' Creator/ShinichiroMiki and Creator/NobuoTobita
A duo of train passengers whom Sayaka overhears insulting their girlfriends in episode 8 and [[AmbiguousSituation may or may not have]] killed them for doing so.
----
* AllWomenAreLustful: One of them has this mindset: "And then you dump 'em and they get all whiny."
* AmbiguousSituation: Ambiguous as to whether or not Sayaka killed them in the anime, though the manga confirms this is the case.
* AssholeVictim: Highly implied that Sayaka killed them due to their misogynist behavior.
* DeathByAdaptation: Downplayed. Confirmed to have died in the manga, while the anime keeps this ambiguous.
* DiagonalCut: Strongly implied to have died from this in the manga.
* DisproportionateRetribution: Apparently killed for something as minor as misogynist banter.
* DubNameChange: One of them is called Sho in the original Japanese version, but that name is given to someone one of the two know in the English dub.
* FatalFlaw: [[StrawMisogynist Misogyny]]. It is highly implied that Sayaka killed them over their misogynist nonsense.
* HateSink: They are nothing but misogynist jerks who brag about abusing their girlfriends and have no redeeming qualities.
* {{Jerkass}}: A duo of jerks who talk politically-incorrect smack about their girlfriends.
* KarmicDeath: Apparently killed by a MagicalGirl who made a wish out of love for spouting misogynist nonsense about their girlfriends.
* MsRedInk: One of them believes that women are bad at financial management: "Yo, they get their hands on some coins and they blow it all on stupid shit for real."
* NoFullNameGiven: One of them is called Sho and nothing more in the original Japanese version.
* NoNameGiven: Both of them don't have names in the English dub, and one of them doesn't have a name in the original Japanese version.
* PoliticallyIncorrectVillain: A {{Jerkass}} variant, but still an enemy of Sayaka no less than witches are and the closest thing the show has to a straight example; they openly spout misogynist nonsense about their girlfriends.
* SmallRoleBigImpact: Despite having barely more than a minute of screentime, they are the final catalyst for Sayaka becoming a Witch.
* StrawMisogynist: They openly brag about abusing their girlfriends and believing in demeaning stereotypes about women.
* TheReasonYouSuckSpeech: On the receiving end of this from Sayaka for mistreating their girlfriends.
* UngratefulBastard: As Sayaka points out, one of them insults her with a misogynist slur instead of giving them gratitude.
* UnwittingInstigatorOfDoom: What they are unaware of is that their conversation is the final catalyst for Sayaka becoming a Witch, which of course leads to a chain of events that leave Homura with nobody else to help her stop [[HeroKiller Walpurgisnacht]].
* WalkingSpoiler: It's hard to consider them relevant to the show's plot without bringing up their complicity in Sayaka's demise.
* YouHaveOutlivedYourUsefulness: One of them plans to dump their girlfriend when they are old to satisfy them.
