History Manga / MagicalGirlApocalypse

* SkewedPriorities: When Akuta [[spoiler:gets his entire arm blasted off by an upgraded Magical Girl]], he comments that "[he] won't be able to [[ADateWithRosiePalms masturbate]] like this". That's only one out of many, many similar moments on his part.

* HalfHumanHybrid: This is what [[spoiler:true magical girls are. According to the series' lore, in the past, a human made a contract with a demon; the resulting child they had together was called a witch. After witches became persecuted, a lone surviving witch went into hiding and met a man. They fell in love, married, and had a child together, which they called a "Mahou Shoujo", a Magical Girl. All true magical girls (such as Tsukune and her mother, Kotone) are descended from this single bloodline and, as a result, are not fully human.]]

* GoodIsDumb: The main bad guy from the future manages to [[spoiler:corrupt Akuta over to his side and use him to get himself into the group so he can try to go to the future with them]]. He then reveals himself, kidnaps the [[spoiler:comatose Tsukune]], and attacks the heroes, setting back their plans immensely. To be fair, he does not speak until he reveals himself, knowing that the heroes have heard his voice before.

* BodyHorror: In later chapters, one [[spoiler: Alternative]] Magical Girl dressed like a nurse can be seen using her wand to switch people's limbs around. [[FateWorseThanDeath Several of her victims are seen laying on the ground because they are unable to move their deformed bodies, screaming for her to change them back.]]

* PlayingPossum: When a bunch of [[spoiler:Alternative]] Magical Girls are teleported into the hospital, one of the patients tries playing dead to get them to leave him alone. For his troubles, he has his head melted by acid by an [[spoiler:Alternative]] Magical Girl.

The story revolves around Kii Kogami, who lives a dull high school life with his bullied childhood friend. One day, a strange-looking girl appears and [[KillEmAll kills nearly everyone in the school]], [[TheVirus turning their dead corpses into zombies.]] With a few survivors throughout the city, Kogami escapes the school as the Magical Girls and their undead minions take over the city.

* YouGottaHaveBlueHair: According to the color inserts, Tsukune has aqua hair. We later see that it was passed down to her by her mother.

A horrifying combination of ''ComicBook/BlackestNight'' and ''Franchise/SilentHill'' coupled together with the MagicalGirl Genre. ''Magical Girl Apocalypse'' (''Mahou Shoujo of the End'' or ''Magical Girls of the End'') is a horror manga written by Sato Kentaro in 2012, and licensed in the US in 2014. It is complete at 16 volumes.

* RealityEnsues: See AgonyOfTheFeet above. Also, during the GravitySucks incident, Yoruka falls roughly to the ground, coughing BloodFromTheMouth, but saying she's fine. Ren later realizes that she's suffering from hemorrhages as a result.

* AnchoredShip: [[spoiler:Kii promises to give Sayano a proper reply to her love confession once the whole mess is sorted out.]]

* DysfunctionalFamily: Kii's family. Both his mother and his father [[spoiler:committed suicide]] at different points before the start of the story.

* ElegantGothicLolita: The[[spoiler: Alternative]] Magical Girls that are not horrendously deformed look like little Victorian dolls.
* EliteMooks: The [[spoiler: Alternative]] Magical Girls are by no means "mooks" even in and of themselves, [[spoiler:but Living-Dead M can upgrade them even further by means of her staff. Further elaborated when it is revealed that they are weapons from the future.]]
* EvenEvilHasStandards: Even Parasite-M, the possessive [[spoiler:Alternative]] Magical Girl, thinks Akuta is complete shit when he tries to join the [[spoiler:Alternative]] Magical Girl's side out of desperation.
* EvilAllAlong: The true BigBad is eventually revealed to be [[spoiler:Himeji]]
* FlunkyBoss: Living-Dead M is able to summon and even resurrect other Magical Girls. [[spoiler:And buff them!]]

-->''Don't you even know the basic fact that Magical Girl are meant to [[spoiler:transform]]? Watch some anime, [[PrecisionFStrike you piece of shit]].''

* MagicWand: The first [[spoiler:Alternative]] Magical Girl encountered has a very nasty-looking wand that looks more technological than actually magical. Said wand has what seems to be a bundle of sticks of TNT arranged around it, which is pretty fitting considering that the thing is primarily used to make people and objects [[StuffBlowingUp go boom]]. Others also wield staves and wands that are no less horrifying. [[spoiler:Apparently, wands are the source of Magical Girl's powers and breaking a wand results in the permanent death of its Alternative Magical Girl. The Alternative Magical Girls' necromancy abilities also seem to be linked to their wands.]]

* TheResistance: A group from [[spoiler:the future]] is trying to stop the ritual involving the 9th-generation Magical Girls, and to do so, have [[spoiler:repurposed and upgraded the Alternative Magical Girls]] to protect Kii and his friends while also fighting against Puppet Master.

* TheSlowPath: [[spoiler:Miu, after being sent 20 years in the past.]]

Compare ''Anime/PuellaMagiMadokaMagica'' and ''Manga/ElfenLied'' for stories about as dark. The author, Sato Kentaro, has another manga, ''Manga/MahouShoujoSite'', which also ends up having ties to the ''Apocalypse'' universe.

* FakingTheDead: When a bunch of [[spoiler:Alternative]] Magical Girls are teleported into the hospital, one of the patients tries playing dead to get them to leave him alone. For his troubles, he has his head melted by acid by an [[spoiler:Alternative]] Magical Girl.

The story revolves around Kii Kogami, who lives a dull high school life with his bullied childhood friend. One day, a monstrous magical girl appears and [[KillEmAll kills nearly everyone in the school]], [[TheVirus turning their dead corpses into zombies.]] With a few survivors throughout the city, Kogami escapes the school as the Magical Girls and their undead minions take over the city.

* FakingTheDead: When a bunch of Magical Girls are teleported into the hospital, one of the patients tries playing dead to get them to leave her alone. For his troubles, his head is crushed.

* HalfHumanHybrid: This is what [[spoiler:true magical girls are. According to the series' lore, in the past, a human made a contract with a demon; the resulting child they had together was called a witch. After witches became persecuted, a lone surviving witch went into hiding and met a man. They fell in love, married, and had a child together, which they called a mahou shoujo. All true magical girls (such as Tsukune and her mother, Kotone) are descended from this single bloodline and, as a result, are not fully human.]]

** Sayano, who was initially perceived as a bully but is in fact in love with Kii and was apparently only a bully because ''[[spoiler:Tsukune forced her to]]'' in an attempt to draw Kii's attention to herself. In light of later events there is gradually less and less evidence to disbelieve that claim, too.

* {{Kaiju}}: Small-Large M, an enormous [[spoiler:Alternative]] Magical Girl with an upside-down head that looks like something out of a 60s anime, wielding a magical staff in the shape of a fountain pen. Using her size-manipulation ability, she can grow to such a size that she can throw trucks and swat down helicopters like they're nothing, and also shrink down to a very small size.

* MagicWand: The first [[spoiler:Alternative]] Magical Girl encountered has a very nasty-looking wand that looks more technological than actually magical. Said wand has what seems to be a bundle of sticks of TNT arranged around it, which is pretty fitting considering that the thing is primarily used to make people and things [[StuffBlowingUp go boom]]. Others also wield staves and wands that are no less horrifying. [[spoiler:Apparently, wands are the source of Magical Girl's powers and breaking a wand results in the permanent death of its Alternative Magical Girl. The Alternative Magical Girls' necromancy abilities also seem to be linked to their wands.]]

* NighInvulnerable: The skin of the [[spoiler:Alternative]] Magical Girl, Parasite M is impenetrable. Her [[AttackItsWeakpoint weak point]] is her eyes, but good luck hitting them, considering that if she blinks, it won't work. [[spoiler:Made doubly hard since her ''hosts'' are not NighInvulnerable, and if you hit the host, you kill an innocent person.]]

* OmnicidalManiac: [[spoiler:Himeji]] not only has the [[spoiler:Alternative]] Mahou Shoujo invade Tokyo but when his plans fail, simply allows the planet to be destroyed [[spoiler:before jumping to another dimension to try again]].

* OurLichesAreDifferent: The [[spoiler:Alternative]] Magical Girls have distinctly lich-like abilities. A[[spoiler:n Alternative]] Magical Girl cannot be permanently killed unless [[spoiler:its wand is destroyed (so the wand acts as a phylactery of sorts)]]. In addition, they are also necromancers.

* SacrificialLion: Godai, the third year who saves Kii and Tsukune at school in the second chapter, is killed (along with Kasai) in the last panel of the third chapter.

* ShesAllGrownUp: Courtesy of [[spoiler: Miu, the little girl who tags along with the group during the apocalypse. Kronos M, the time traveling magical girl, sent her 20 years into the past. By the time we see her again in the alternate timeline, she's 28 years old and very pretty.]]
* ShoutOut: A few, curiously not to other ZombieApocalypse stories. Franchise/{{Godzilla}} is name-dropped by Akuta when witnessing the devastation made by the giant Magical girl, and he also mentions [[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/John_Titor John Titor]] when [[spoiler:he, Kii and others travel back in time to 2002]]. During the [[spoiler:time travel arc]] {{Music/KyaryPamyuPamyu}} and {{Music/AKB48}} are also name-dropped, just to make sure that [[spoiler:the characters are not in 2012 anymore]].

* SoulJar: If [[spoiler:a Magical Girl's wand]] is destroyed, she disintegrates.

* TimeTravel: Kronos M fires blasts that apparently rip through spacetime (or so Kii puts it), and those who get hit by them are suddenly sent back 10 years into the past, all the way back to the year 2002. Some try to get R&R from the situation and others explore their past childhood experiences. It's not long before the effect wears off and they go back to the present, though.

* OffWithHisHead: Happens to Godai and Kasai when they enter the fog. Later, [[spoiler:Miki]] gets her head punched off of her shoulders by [[spoiler:the Parasite-M possessed Miu]]. To add insult to injury, the head falls into a ramen bowl.

* BadPowersBadPeople: Many of the [[spoiler: Alternative]] Magical Girls have powers not typically related to magical girls (not to mention [[ZombieApocalypse necromancy]]). The very first one, Explode M, immediately proceeds to blow up several people with a mere touch of her wand, and most others are no better: one causes gruesome deformities, one carries a staff that spews corrosive acid, one has been seen spraying poison gas, one sends out razor waves and one is even capable of [[spoiler:[[PuppeteerParasite possession]]]]. There's also a [[OneSceneWonder One-Panel Wonder]] (if she can be called that...) Magical Girl that looks like a character from an 8-bit video-game who shoots a gun that [[FlayingAlive rips the skin off of people]].

* BigBad: [[spoiler:Wataru Himeji]] is the one who caused the apocalypse in the first place, hoping to use it as part of a bid to absorb ultimate power and [[AGodAmI rule unquestioned]]. Actually [[spoiler:Makabe, who kills Himeji to take over the plan for godhood in the final arc]].

* EveryGirlIsCuterWithHairDecs: Sayano, which apparently Kii gave to her during their childhood.

* MadeOfPlastecine: The Magical Girls can [[{{Gorn}} crush people and rip them apart]] quite effortlessly.
