Now that Iroha is back, she wants to meet Nemu for some reason.
After Yachiyo and Kuroe with some effort, managed to wake Iroha up from her nightmare. It wasn’t easy, but Kuroe and Yachiyo is able to release the grip from Iroha’s Doppel. Now, with Kuroe revealing that Nemu wants Kuroe to bring back Iroha. I wonder what Nemu plans to bring Iroha to her and whether she wanted her as a Doppel. Of course, the Sakura rumor barrier disappears after a while after Eternal Sakura tells Iroha returns with the other three friends. It’s obvious who they are.
With that, Yachiyo takes Kuroe and Iroha back to her home. As expected, the house is a big mess with clothing everywhere. I find it funny how Iroha tells Kuroe that it’s not usually like this. Of course, Iroha ask why she joined the Magius. She never revealed the reason until later. When Kuroe revealed Nemu’s condition, but Iroha becomes anxious. She wants Kuroe to take her to Nemu to see if she remembers her. Sure, it’s risky, but Yachiyo eventually tags along.
Of course, when Kuroe opens the gate to the Magius HQ, the Amane sisters came out. They didn’t like how Yachiyo is there and starts to fight her. Thankfully, Kuroe and Iroha got through, but the gate ended up closing on them. Meanwhile, Madoka, Homura, and Sayaka is trying to find Mami. While they haven’t received any answers from Mami, they saw the countless recruitment posters for the Magius.
While Iroha and Kuroe rides the train below the Magius HQ, she asks a few questions. Iroha still wonders why Kuroe joined the Magius. It’s because of the lack of witches and strength. She also revealed that she used her Doppel several times. Of course, Iroha becomes panicked given what happened to her. Sure, Kuroe is worried about her friends dying, but Iroha believes there are other magical girls to help them out.
Of course, when they got off the train, Reina came out of nowhere with Kaede, who is not acting herself. Apparently, Reina quit the Magius while Kaede is acting funny. She said something about not following what the coordinator said. Yep, it must have to do with something with the Doppel, as Mitama mentioned. As expected, this is very suspicious.
When Rena with Kaede, Iroha and Kuro find another exit, they see a hall that contains witches. I wonder what the Magius is doing trying to farm them. When the bear security guard rumor came, they had to fend themselves. While Kuro was about to use her Doppel, Iroha cleansed her soul gem with a Grief Seed and asks her to Connect instead. With that, they can defeat the rumor.
Sadly, things came too late as Kaede apologizes to Rena after she couldn’t hold on. Her Doppel takes over and Rena, Iroha, and Kuroe tries to defeat it and bring her back to her senses. Sadly, they couldn’t after constraining her. This is when Mitama came to pick her up with Momo. They entered the Doppel Syndrome Isolation Ward. Yep, it’s just as bad as turning into a witch, even if it’s not permanent.
As expected, Momo and Rena gets a bit upset as Mitama reveals the truth. Magical Girls end up getting stuck in their Doppel form if they use it a bit too much. Sadly, a good number of magical girls met this fate.
With that, it’s a good thing that Kuroe didn’t use her Doppel as she might end up like them. Still, the only reason Iroha made it out is thanks to Yachiyo and Kuroe intervening by entering the dream. Of course, this is all suspicious as why Mitama is collecting them? Must have to do with Magius’s plan along with those farmed witches.
Either way, Momo, Rena, Kuroe, and Iroha is probably going to probably come up with a plan to stop the Magius. Of course, time is running out as Touka’s and Nemu’s plan comes together. This makes me wonder if Iroha can find Tsuruno, Felicia and Sana before they meet the same fate as Kaede.
Makes you wonder what the Magius are upto and what is their real plans with the entrapped witches and doppels.
I also wonder why these magical girls are using their doppel powers so frequently. You also got to wonder where Madoka and company fit into all this and why has none of the girls approached them. It would seem the Magius prey on weaker magical girls but shun the stronger ones.
Yes, this makes you wonder what Touka and Nemu is planning to do with those witches and those doppels. I think they probably use them because the witches and rumors are strong, especially when fighting them alone. I guess it becomes addictive or too reliant that they don’t realize it until it’s too late.
Still, I think Madoka and her friends will eventually help out Iroha one way or another, soon.
