History WMG / PuellaMagiMadokaMagica3

*** The ''Oriko'' timeline was caused by [[NoodleIncident a long chain of events]] [[ForWantOfANail that started when Marty (as Clint Eastwood) went into a duel with Buford and got killed.]] It was unmade when Marty beat Buford thanks to this insight.

* There are also a comparison to Series/KamenRiderFaiz. [[spoiler: In order to be a Kamen Rider in Series/KamenRiderFaiz, you would have to be dead (most of the time), and demise usually follows those who ''do'' become Kamen Riders, much like the Puella Magi, [[PhlebotinumBreakdown albeit a little differently.]]]]

* Kyouko is egoistic Magical Girl, and wields a stick. ([[BladeOnAStick With a blade at the end.]]) Yup, she's Puella Magi equivalent of Ouja.

[[WMG:Kyubei is actually [[LightNovel/BakaAndTestSummonTheBeasts Hideyoshi]].]]

[[WMG:Charlotte and [[LightNovel/InfiniteStratos Charlotte Dunois]] are [[spoiler:the same character]]]]

While the most blatant Oedipus father vs. son aspects aspects are stripped off, there are a lot of similarities between Homuhomu and [[spoiler:Gendo]]. Both are [[NotSoStoic not-so-stoics]] whose only (or at least primary) reason to live is companionship with a MessianicArchetype ([[spoiler:Yui for Gendo]] and Madoka for Homura), but unfortunately their beloved messiah gets killed off, thus they acquire a [[TheCynic pessimistic]] outlook and are not above being ruthless Machiavellian the-end-justifies-the-means anti-heroes who are ready to even screw up all creation as a whole just to preserve her (Time-travel and [[LightNovel/HaruhiSuzumiya an endless recursion of time]] for Homura, which ends up creating [[spoiler:Kriemhild Gretchen who causes an AssimilationPlot]], and [[spoiler:taking control of an EldritchAbomination and [[AGodAmI becoming God]] for Gendo, which results in [[AssimilationPlot Instrumentality]]]])

[[WMG: LightNovel/HaruhiSuzumiya is a Madoka-scale anomaly/god/witch.]]

[[WMG: ''LightNovel/{{Bakemonogatari}}'s'' Mayoi Hachikuji became Albertine pre-Godoka.]]

* Here are the characters of ''Stardust Witch Meruru'' a fictional show in ''LightNovel/{{Oreimo}}'' and their Madoka Magica equivalent.

I.M. Meen is a Warlock who made a contract with an Incubator who goes after boys instead of girls. His Grief Seed is worked into his book so that it functions as a portal into his Barrier, the Magic Labyrinth of I.M Meen (Barriers are even sometimes referred to as Labyrinths). His "pets" are his familiars, and the "special kind of guy" he mentions as his magic being from in the theme song isn't himself, it's his Incubator. Speaking of his theme song, he says "I've got a little secret that'll really make 'em cry!", which refers to him capturing children so he can harvest their despair. His face looking different in each scene isn't the animation being OffModel - what makes his Warlock form so surreal is that his face keeps morphing on its own, despite the rest of his body being able to pass for a human. Also, notice how in the intro, the kids are live-action in the very first shot where Meen points at them, but after that they're cartoons - the graphic style of Meen's barrier is crude CD-i style animation, and the kids changed to his style when they were sucked inside. This also explains why he hates children studying even though he knows magic - he didn't learn magic on his own; he obtained it through a contract. As a Magical Boy, he might have been a nerd who spent his time reading fantasy novels when he should have been studying, which is why his minions are ordinary trolls instead of Daliesque monstrosities. His reluctance to live in the real world caused him to flunk school and drop out, the despair of which caused his Soul Gem to go dark. As a Warlock, he took his revenge by tricking studious children and sucking them into his Labyrinth to get back at his classmates that succeeded where he failed. This is also why he's so bad at grammar - his dropping out of school was exaggerated to the point where, as a Warlock, he can barely spell. His teleportation ability reflects how he wanted to get away from his peers and be left alone. [[CerebusRetcon Bet you won't look at I.M. Meen]] WebAnimation/{{YouTube Poop}}s [[CerebusRetcon the same way again, huh?]]

[[WMG: Homura is the biological daughter of [[LightNovel/FateZero Emiya Kiritsugu]].]]

[[WMG:It's '''ALL''' [[LightNovel/HaruhiSuzumiya Haruhi's fault]].]]

We can even theorize that the being known as Haruhi Suzumiya, as the creator of this system, is the First and most powerful Witch, complete with Barriers, Mazes, Labyrinths (Closed Spaces and existence itself) and Familiars (the Celestials, with the SOS Brigade and the Incubators acting as enslaved pseudo-familiars to enforce her will). This Witch is so powerful as to become TheOmnipotent, with Madokami as nothing before the power of Haruhi. And of course, the fundamental ingredient for a witch is melancholy, another name for grief or depression, and [[LightNovel/HaruhiSuzumiya according to the title what does Haruhi have? MELANCHOLY.]] So LOGICALLY...

[[WMG: Madokami's sacrifice/ascension was the reason the Nyarlathotep and the Incubators quit their trolling campaigns and turned into [[LightNovel/NyarukoCrawlingWithLove Nyarko-san]]]]

* This wasn't [[spoiler:Gendo's]] first purgatory. [[spoiler:Before he could admit his flaws, he was first revived as the Director from ''Machinima/RedVsBlue'', who shunned his own daughter, violated protocol, and tortured ''a copy of himself'', just to resurrect Yui-Allison. It wasn't until Church and Carolina confronted him that he started his wish to atone, and became Homura, forced to live a similar time-travel experience as the Alpha as well as live with the constant failure and death of Beta. (The fact that Alpha and Beta are considered to be Iron Woobies by the fandom explains why Homura is more sympathetic than Gendo for most people.)]] "Perhaps next time around?"

[[WMG: Homura is an AI from the ''Machinima/RedVsBlue'' universe, and the whole series was a virtual simulation in said verse.]]

* Alternatively: In the grim darkness of the far future, with humanity on the brink of extinction, Madoka decided to rise up and manifest Herself in a physical manner again, creating a new identity to inspire Hope and Faith in humanity once again. The identity: The [[GodEmperor Emperor of Mankind]]. As for why Madoka chose a male form, even she knew she had to be tough in the grim dark future. Well they're both [[MessianicArchetype Jesus]]...

* Alternatively: Madoka grows a spine and manifests the Emperor of Mankind in an attempt to fix her mistakes. Well they're both [[MessianicArchetype Jesus]].....

[[WMG: The [[TransFormers Autobots and Decepticons]] are evolved Doras (Gisela's minions).]]
