Now that Sayaka noticed Mami acting strangely, it seems that she is starting to lose hope. Meanwhile, Madoka and Homura struggles against a witch.
It seems that Homura and Madoka struggles against Patricia and her minions. This is unusual as the Mitakihara witches aren’t as tough as the ones in Kamihama. During the fight, Homura sees sights of Ui telling her to go to Kamihama where magical girls can be saved. Thankfully, Sayaka manages to save Madoka and Homura as they escape the witche’s barrier.
Of course, things went downhill from here. Sayaka accuses Homura of trying to get Madoka killed by being careless. While Sayaka revealed that Mami is not herself. After all, the Wings of Magius already brainwashed her. After all, Mami is not herself anymore, but Holy Mami as she now buys in the belief that she can save all magical girls.
As you would expect, Kyubey of course being Kyubey reveals the whole truth about magical girls and witches. Of course, this causes Sayaka to start trying to kill Kyubey. As expected, she finds out that she can’t kill it as another one appears. Also, Sayaka threatens Homura for hiding something. Madoka wants Sayaka to stop fighting with Homura. After all, they need to save Mami. Sayaka starts to lose confidence as she doesn’t believe she can be like Mami.
The next day, Sayaka and Homura are noticeably absent as Madoka remembers what Mami said. Meanwhile, Homura is waiting at the station remembering what Ui said until the witch’s portal opens. There are students affected by the witch’s kiss. Homura transforms and ropes off the escalator to prevent them from entering the portal. Yep, she even tried to deal with the witch alone. This is probably not a good idea.
Madoka eventually notices Homura fighting the witch and asks Sayaka for help. As expected, it seems that she can’t do it. Thankfully, Madoka shares her feelings as she admits that she won’t live life in regret and live life as a magical girl. She also asks Sayaka to save her as she is doing to Homura.
Thankfully, Sayaka came after she gets to Homura during the time stop. Yep, she finds out that Homura can stop magic. After Homura purifies Sayaka’s soul gem, they reunite with Madoka to carry out the attack before time resumes and defeat the witch. With that, it’s good to see them in good spirits again. I guess Homura will eventually tell Madoka and Sayaka about what the girl said about Kamihama soon.
Meanwhile, we have Yachiyo trying to interrogate a black feather. She is trying to find the Magius Head Quarters where Iroha and the others might be held at. At least she finds out the name of the place, Hotel Faint Hope. The only problem, the location keeps changing. In other words, the place she seeks must come to her. I wonder, how will she get there? Only time can tell.
Still, it’s nice to see Kuroe having an appearance after being absent for most of the first season. Nemu eventually asks her about Iroha. I guess she knows that Kuroe worked with Iroha. I wonder why she wants to know this information. We’ll find out soon.
It was nice seeing Meduka and Homura again but hopefully we get back to Yachiyo’s quest for love next time.
Agreed, It’s surprising to see Madoka and Homura in the first episode of the second season, but not too surprising since they play a part in the second half. Still, I wonder how Yachiyo will somehow find Iroha.
