Note that at this point, the world they're in may be akin to a witch barrier, but Homura isn't a witch, as the barrier was created by what is still her Soul Gem.Īfter the whole ordeal that culminates with her realizing she's the one who created the barrier, Homura is confronted by Kyubey, who tells her about what exactly had happened with her and what their plans for Madoka were. Basically, the first part of the movie was spent inside Homura's Soul Gem. So, frozen at this state, the Soul Gem couldn't break and impose a witch barrier over some part of this world (which is still a separate dimension of its own), so it created a barrier of sorts inside itself. Because that's the point at which Madoka would come in and save her from becoming a witch as she did to everyone throughout the series and they wanted to capture Madoka. Let's say for the sake of an analogy that her Soul Gem was 99.99% tainted. She's about to become a witch, but she's still a magical girl. To expand upon it, what the Incubators do is use their super advanced alien science to freeze Homura's Soul Gem at a borderline state. Only in Homura's case this time, she wasn't there.

The natural tainting process of the Soul Gem still exists and the girls would still become witches if she wasn't there to take their souls to wherever and let them have a dignified death. Either way, the point is, Madoka takes the despair out of the Soul Gems of Magical Girls as they are about to become witches. Which is also the only reason it invokes a paradox that forces her existence into a concept.

Not only did it mean the wish couldn't have any unfortunate fulfilling that wasn't what she wanted, it meant she would have to do the work herself. The bolded part being the interesting one. She wished to erase all the witches, past, present and future with her own hands. I've watched the movie twice: in a theatre in Paris and the subbed camrip that's been going around.Īlthough Madoka wish in the second movie, which prevented the birth of any witch, both in the past and in the future.

Ok, let me try to answer this the best I can.
