History WMG / PuellaMagiKazumiMagica

[[spoiler: Doesn't work perfectly. In Chapter 13, Saki points out that Nico's spare became a witch even though her Soul Gem was clear, and thinks they're all on the verge of becoming witches. In Chapter 15, Satomi also becomes a witch despite having no corruption in her Soul Gem. Considering [[HumanPopsicle what]] [[WhatMeasureIsANonHuman the]] [[YouHaveOutlivedYourUsefulness Pleiades]] [[CameBackWrong do]], Jubey may be able to purify their Soul Gems, but at the cost of their sanity.]]

[[spoiler: Hence why there was no visible corruption when they turned. This also links in with the idea that her wish was to secretly connect to the Pleiades, and using their magic unknowingly.]]

[[spoiler: For some reason I could see this happening.]]

The set up is just too delicious for the Mangaka to pass up. In chapter 13, [[spoiler: [[YouAreNumberSix Kazumi learns that she is the 13th clone of the Magical Girl Kazusa]], the original founder of the Pleiades Saints, and [[CloningBlues all of the previous clones have been set loose on Kazumi.]] ]] The shock generated will send [[spoiler: [[DespairEventHorizon Kazumi over the edge into despair, and become a witch.]] Because all the other Pleiades Saints [[spoiler: might be on the verge of becoming witches, [[DespairEventHorizon the despair of their thirteenth failure to bring back Kazusa will cause them to become witches too.]] ]] The Pleiades Saints all lose, and Juubey wins. All in all, a good day of business...

* Jossed. [[spoiler: Her wish was to create another version of herself with no memories of the shooting incident from her childhood. The reason she refers to the others as humans and not herself is because that isn't actually Nico - it's Kanna Hijiri, the other version of Nico created from her wish.]]

* [[spoiler: ...is Nico, who is also the shooter in the news article she was reading in Chapter 7. Notice how the witch and it's familiars resemble target practice dummies.]]

[[spoiler: The trauma from her DarkAndTroubledPast turned into Sociopathy or Psychopathy, and she doesn't really care about her friends. She chose to ally with Juubey and become an immortal Incubator. That's why she referred to the girls as "you humans" at the end of chapter 17. She isn't one. Not anymore. She's also responsible for the evil nuts.]]

[[spoiler: Spare bodies, she doesn't lie, she just say the ambiguous truth, emotionless face and reality altering powers. She can go back and forth from Nico to Kyubey, maybe even Juubey, that's why two bodies, one in Nico form and other in Kyubey form where in the same place at the same time in chapter 4. Also, Kyuubey is a female being]]

* If this is case, then it may be that she DOES see herself as inhuman as a [[spoiler: Puella and instead sees the way the girls act as human, thus making her comment an insult.]]

So what does this mean? It means that Nico may [[spoiler: be going crazy, as opposed to ACTUALLY being a witch like Kazumi. There are a few things that might lead her to be this way, too. Nico is the one who turns others into witches in her stead, which may lead her to either believe she let the REAL Nico turn into a witch by accident at one point, or see herself as a horrible evil monster for how she strips innocent people of their lives to give herself a chance she should've lost a long time ago. We also know that the incident where she killed her friend still weighs heavy on her conscious, something that may also degrade her to the point of feeling like she's a monster and doesn't deserve to be human. She also knows, for a fact, that Umika can make up and alter memories to the point where she brainwashed an entirely emotionless being into being a fairly cute if not somewhat aloof and creepy friend. She might BELIEVE she was turned into a witch, brought back, and had her memories of it erased. If this is the case, she may think that her creation of the Evil Nut is a sign of this, even though it's well within her power.
There's also another distinct possibility that she may actually just be doing the equivalent of LYING. Nico may find what the girls are doing with the Soul Gems, what they're doing to Kazumi, and several other things as morally reprehensible. Considering how she uses people as fodder for her own continued survival and probably feels a little guilty about it at times, she may see it as cruel how every time they remake Kazumi and flub up, they simply discard the corpse. She may have staged this plan then to fight them off. If this is case, then it may be that she DOES see herself as inhuman as a Puella and instead sees the way the girls act as human, thus making her comment an insult.]]

[[WMG: Nico is wrong about herself]]
At the end of Chapter 17, Nico uses the phrase [[spoiler: "you humans" to refer to the other girls. This isn't like how Homura used the phrase - she doesn't consider being a Puella as inhuman, as she uses it to refer to OTHER PUELLA.]] It's fairly clear, then, that she either [[spoiler: is something else, or /thinks/ she's something else. The presumption is a witch, but let's unpack this.]]
Up until this point, we have seen no evidence to support [[spoiler: that Nico is any sort of a condition akin to Kazumi's. Kazumi had no memories (although that might have been a failure on their part to completely perform their ritual), she reacted strangely to the Evil Nuts - a reaction only she had and that she couldn't help - and several other things that Nico has not.]] We can assume that, [[spoiler: if they're going to bring Kazumi back, they're definitely going to try it on the others, but we haven't seen too much evidence to indicate that this has happened. There's also the contradiction of how the other remade girls could be so normal and be successes when Kazumi could not.]] In otherwords, we can assume that they haven't been having the problem of turning into witches until recently (exceptions accounted for, of course).

[[spoiler: As a clone, Kazumi might have the powers of the original Michiru, but technically she has not yet made a contract of her own. Kyubey mentions in the original series that they searched other parts of the universe before settling on Earth, so there's nothing saying that they can only make contracts with humans. So if Kazumi has the chance to contract, she can use her wish to somehow fix everything.]]

Her powers, as well as [[spoiler: her behaviour and ability to create Evil Nuts in chapter 17 may suggest something like this. It was probably not what she intended when she made her wish, but somehow the wording gave her similar abilities to the incubators.]]

Its possible as the location of the accident is unknown and Asunaro and Mikitihara may be with in drivable distance of each other.

[[spoiler: Doesn't work perfectly. In Chapter 13, Saki points out that Nico's spare became a witch even though her Soul Gem was clear, and thinks they're all on the verge of becoming witches. Considering [[HumanPopsicle what]] [[WhatMeasureIsANonHuman the]] [[YouHaveOutlivedYourUsefulness Pleiades]] [[CameBackWrong do]], Jubey may be able to purify their Soul Gems, but at the cost of their sanity.]]

[[WMG: Saki and her sister were in the same accident that killed Mami's parents.]]

However, this time, Kazumi will find a way fully revert her back, unlike [[spoiler: Airi]] due to their bonds of friendship... even after what has happened.

[[WMG: [[spoiler: Satomi]] is about to turn into a witch.]]

During the scene in Chapter 14, [[spoiler: Michiru turned into a witch while Umika and the Pleiades were talking about how much better their lives had been since meeting her. What better reason to give into despair than knowing you've condemned your six new friends to eventually turn into witches? (Not to mention her being responsible for Yuuri.)]]

It's not just Kazumi, all of them are the same. [[spoiler: They all became witches at some point or the other and each of them is an experiment by the remaining girls to bring them back. Each individual girl thinks she's the only remaining one that didn't turn into a witch and hides the truth from the rest, until one of them snaps.]]

[[WMG: Everything is a part of Juubey's [[{{plan}}]]
