Madoka is my favourite character but I can see why people don't like her.

Anyway just rewatching the series after watching it the first time 5 weeks ago and I personally find Sayaka the most tragic character of Madoka Magica and that's what makes her my second favourite (people don't like Sayaka either but I'm not perturbed).

Also Kyuubey got what he deserved when he turned into swiss cheese. Shame he's immortal.

Ah yeah, I saw it leading up to that a couple episodes ago. This is how Witches are made... So sad that Sayaka had to suffer the way she did. Let's just hope she doesn't hurt too many people she cares about before she's destroyed.

Kyubey confirmed evil. Good thing Homura is there to try and stop him.

And damn, witches were originally magical girls. Pray for Sayaka.

Kyuubey's true identity, Incubator, makes sense. Incubation is the process of keeping eggs or similar things under the right conditions so that they can develop and hatch, and that's what Kyuubey is doing, since magical girls grow up to become witches.

Poor Sayaka though, all she wanted was to do good and be selfless, and look where that got her. ;-;

"You either die a hero or live long enough to see yourself become a villain." This shit fits this series so well.
Also Kyubey fuck off!

This is all starting to come together now. While it's true that Madoka might become an unparalleled mahou shoujo, the reason Kyuubei wants to make her into one is so that he can eventually corrupt her into the most powerful witch-- one that is perhaps unstoppable.

I don't think the Homura = Madoka theory is as likely now. She probably just knows Madoka from the future and maybe sees Madoka going down the path of the witch or even killing herself to prevent herself from becoming one. I'm kind of assuming the former since she "knows Kyuubei's plan".

Ironic to have a fairy that is not only evil, but is also pretty much the primary antagonist of the series.

It's a shame to see Sayuka lose herself like that. Perhaps that's why Homura chooses to go the emotion-suppression route rather than fighting for justice or something-- because she would risk becoming disillusioned. I'm guessing that's also why she wants Sakura to be the city's mahou shoujo despite Sakura being a worse person; Sakura is the least likely of the bunch to become disillusioned.

SOMEONE SAVE SAYAKA. OHMYGOD.

So, Homura killed Kyubey, but later he's still alive. That was brutal, maan. Then Kyubey ate his dead body. What the fuck. I wonder why Homura loves Madoka so much. And Homura time travelled to prevent Madoka from being a magical girl?

INCUBATOR -> InKYUBEYtor. BYEEEEE! Hahahaha.

What the fuck are you, Kyubey!??!

"...it only makes sense that you, who will one day grow into witches, should be called "magical girls"." SERIOUSLY WHAT THE FUCK, KYUBEY?!?!?!

So, Sayaka turned into a witch now? I'M NOT OKAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAY!

Well, bruh, I'm already at episode 11 and I already know why. Hahahaha. Ohmygod. *cries in the corner*

P.S. I'm not hating on Madoka, though, I love her. I was asking myself that question because she cares so much about preventing Madoka from being a magical girl, now let me continue crying in the corner because episode 10 was so fucking sad. *cries harder*

Quite a long time since I watched MM, but I would probably always regard this, and the previous episode perhaps, as the best episode(s) of the whole series.

It's real good but I consider episodes 10 and 12 as my favourites. Sayaka is my second favourite of the 5 though.

HOLY SHIT THAT PLOT TWIST!

I guess Sayaka is dead, well, won't be too long before every main character dies.

Kyubey (or The Incubator) eating his own corpse was disturbing as heck, he doesn't even have a mouth, I think that 3 he has on his face is meant for decoration or something.

I didn't quite understand what happened with Madoka and Homura, but it has to do with time travelling, ok.

Darn. I liked it when Homura shot Kyubei lol. Too bad he didn't die ;P that was an epic temporary death

Wait, so they GROW into witches? I assumed it only happens if your soul gem gets too tained, but I guess not...? :0 Puella Magis grow into witches, apparently .-. I bet Sayaka killed those 2 asshole businessmen lulz. I know I would have :P

It seems that Homura cares a lot about Madoka. Is she from another timeline? mmmm. Homura killing Kyubey was brutal. It seems that the alien is invincible. Kyubey ate her/his dead body lol. Incubator is a race or another name?

On the other side, when Sayaka turns into a witch it was unexpected. Something was wrong when her Soul Gem turned black.

This is just amazing. 5/5

I did remember hearing something about time manipulation in this show.
Fucking Kyubey man. I am very interested in Homuras story now.


I also have to give some props to the visuals of this show. Even the snaller things like chandelier(?) swinging in the background adds to the eerie nature of this show.

PS . how the fuck did I miss the incubator-kyubey correlation. I am retarded

Darwinism at it's finest, Sayaka was a colossal idiot, it's natural for idiots to be canceled out, when a magic animal tells you he will give you magical powers plus any wish (including immortality) then obviously there is a catch, I personaly would never accept such a deal & if absolutely have to then for sure I would use the wish for me & me alone, even if my own mother was ill then I would absolutely use the wish just for me, yet Sayaka used her wish on some guy because she wanted to suck him off, he is not even her family LOL, if I were Madoka then I would just show the middle finger to Sayaka & I would say "you want me to make a contract for your sake? fat chance you idiot", in real life if you prioritize other people over yourself then you will regret it.

Man, I'm enjoying this despair ride so much! So many details, new information and speculations being confirmed... truly a fantastic episode.

Now on the other hand, some part of me still thinks that Sayaka is taking this whole "this body isn't mine anymore" deal way too seriously. I guess having your soul extracted from you should be something to be really concerned about but I don't know... maybe having one more episode focused on her decent would have handled this issue in a more fluid way but that's just my opinion.
Anyways, all things considered, in the end it only proves that despite her (at first) confident personality, Sayaka's mental state and emotions weren't that strong to begin with.

P.S.: Fragmentation grenade that acts like a flash one and a pistol that shoots like a shotgun... uhm, okay ㄟ( ▔, ▔ )ㄏ

Fuck,why did the redhaired chick intervene ? Sayaka should have died on that spot. I could give less of a shit about that creepy egotistical bitch. Same goes for the annoying cat. It's a shame that he can't die,so she might as well made the death longer and painful.

This show is actually going nowhere. 8 eps in and there is virtually no plot and the same things have been going one since Mami died in Ep 3(sayaka playes the superhero,madoka follows her around,they almost die and have to be saved by Homura,sayaka gets mad and tells at madoka and then becomes friendly with her the next ep and repeat ad nauseum).

I hope she's not dead!

What did Kyuubey say in the end.. they are called magical girls because they;re groing into witches

so, Homura has a travelled in time to prevent Madoka's fate ..I have a veryyyy bad feeling..

The animation in the train though.. poor Sayaka.. what an intense episode

I never trusted Kyubey. Too good to be true. Too cute to be true.

But this situation was the girls' fault. No one should sign a contract without having read the Terms and Conditions first, although the sonuva Kyubey didn't tell them anything, so it's also his fault. But it's implie that he knew this was going to happen. What a shame for Sayaka. I never liked her morals and her act as an ally of justice. Overmoralist characters annoy me a lot. I want morally questionable actions, so I'm siding with Kyubey in this one.

Amazing episode. I kind of saw it coming, turns out I'm not exceptional as almost everyone here have somewhat similar theories.(5/5)

This could be avoided if madoka told sayaka that homura's not selfish, infact mami was the one who cut out homura. Guess the story wouldn't out as is if that happened.
