Going back to the imagery and symbolism of the doppelganger and Gothic Double, I was reminded that not only does PMMM already has a name for a magical girl's shadow self (witch), it also has one specifically for Homura's as well. To be honest, I'm kind of surprised that Homulilly's name hasn't come up more often in the speculation of who the "other" Homura might be, given their established connection.

This might seem like a stretch because the last time we saw Homulilly, she was a giant suicidal skeleton, but hear me out.

Rebellion gives us two examples of magical girls who are also witches: Sayaka and Nagisa. As a general rule, Sayaka and Oktavia appear as two separate entities, allowing Sayaka to fight on her own and have emotional moments with Kyouko while Oktavia clashes directly with Homulilly.

Meanwhile, Nagisa does the complete opposite: she embodies her witch Charlotte (both doll and worm forms), appearing as one or the other instead of both at the same time. In a scene that lives rent-free in my brain, she pulls the witch's clown mask over her face while in magical girl form, thus becoming both at once--but I don't think we ever see her split in the same way that Sayaka does with Oktavia.

Taken together, these examples imply that there are different ways magical girls and their witches can relate to each other. Though we have not yet seen a witch split from the original magical girl and take on her form at the same time, Homura, being the Devil, might have other abilities that Nagisa and Sayaka lack, or might be an exception to the general rule. (There is also the weirdness that Homulilly has dramatically different forms, depending on whether we're talking about the PSP game/Magia Records vs. Rebellion, which is unusual in and of itself.)

Homura may be the Devil, but she is also unquestionably still a witch. Not only does she still have her Clara Doll familiars, but her earcuff--her equivalent to a soul gem--says "HOMULILLY" now.

Well, actually, it says HOMUL, but you get the point. Props to the animators for hiding an important detail from the ending in the opening credits.

Rebellion makes a big deal of the fact that soul gems in ring form are marked with the magical girl's name in witch runes--and that magical girls ARE their soul gems--so the fact that Devil!Homura appears to identify on some level as "Homulilly" is fascinating. It's unclear if Devil!Homura has the same relationship to her "Dark Orb" (a name I cannot say with a straight face) that a magical girl has to her soul gem, or if it's merely a device or a tool she created to channel for her powers, but either way, Homulilly is still around.

All this could potentially explain why Homulilly would take on Homura's form in Walpurgis no Kaiten--because on some level, they are the same. Homulilly-as-Homura's double/shadow self would also help retroactively explain why their names are so similar--unusually so for a magical girl and witch pair.

And if Homulilly is the doppelganger, then her motive for messing with Homura (whether that entails infiltrating her life, manipulating Madoka and/or destroying the world) is obvious. Because nobody hates Homura as much as Homura hates herself. Nobody would understand how best to get under Homura's skin than she would. Nobody would be able to anticipate and counter everything Homura does than her own reflection. And it would take all of the suicidal imagery from Rebellion and dial it up to eleven.

Because Homulilly is never directly mentioned by name in Rebellion (only getting a brief title card in witch runes), even if I'm right and this other Homura is Homulilly, I'm not sure that any of the characters in Walpurgis no Kaiten would ever refer to her by this name directly. She herself, if pressed, might say some variation on "I'm you" to Homura, where her identity becomes clear in context. Alternately, that name might appear again in runes (anything in runes is for the audience's benefit, not the characters).

But I'd be very surprised if Homulilly didn't turn up in some fashion in Walpurgis no Kaiten--and this other Homura seems like an obvious candidate given what we know thus far.

[eeby-beeby-madoka-fan-blog]

I woke up this morning and the very first thing I did was watch the next Madoka Magica movie trailer, I will now provide an extensive (and probably excessive) analysis. I'm going to be as thorough as I possibly can and that's a warning! <3333

The phone ringing sound effect at the start is the exact same as the one in Akumura's transformation in magia record (april fools one) (side note this is how I found out Devil Homura actually got into magia record, I saw the transformation and I am so mad)

after that IT'S THE LIZARD :DDDDDDD

very happy to see the Homura lizard I think she's important <3

Translating the ear cuff concept art (google translate so probably not too good a translation but bare with me) the jewel attached to the tail is Madoka's power which is neat, the madoka runes also say "Homulilly" if you're wondering.

The new lizard is a similar representation to the purple one, I believe the lizard is a representation of sorts for her love of Madoka (note how it splatters. My theory is that the lizard is Love, that's why Love didn't show up to Homulilly's funeral.)

It's red either to show it's corrupted or because as aforementioned Homura possesses Madoka's power in the gem her ear cuff carries (that's also why I think her eyes were tinged pink in the Devil Homura form)

The lizard turns into a phone so we'll probably have a pretty good excuse to make Homura Touch Tone Telephone amvs/animations, yippee!

A lot of people have pointed this out as a tarot card meaning illusion, fear, subconscious, etc which definitely fits. I want to add on to this scene though: around the centerpiece there's butterflies with pins through them, in her magia record "coolmura" transformation her glasses turn into butterflies so it might be a callback relating to that.

(In that transformation they go into her soul gem, in this scene they're pinned down, something about lizards eating butterflies? And butterflies representing freedom, the butterflies being pinned then definitely matches what she does to Madoka at the end of rebellion.)

The moon symbol halved like that is also used various other times in the series too, in one notable instance she was even sitting under it like she is in next shot

LIZARD AGAIN WOOOOOOOOOOOO LET'S GOOOOOOOO

Homura gets a pretty new outfit and cool lizard chair good for her tbh

Zooming in I can see that 1: Homura's outfit slays even harder than I thought it did (and it's very similar to the one she wears mid witch transformation in rebellion) 2: the chair is supposed to look like her devil homura form and 3: the lizard she's sitting on has the gem eye so it's probably at least related to the ear cuff

Skipping ahead through the montage, there's this girl

Who the HELL is this. Her outfit looks a lot like Homura's, she even uses Homura's bow and arrow, but it also looks like Madoka's? Like some sort of mix between the two. Even weirder, the ribbons she seems to be fighting with look like MAMI'S. What, does the new movie have magical girl fusion? Is this Hitomi somehow? Is it Mami? Or someone new?

Here's what I think: Homura takes the place of Kyubey in turning people into magical girls, this is one of the girls who she made into one. It makes sense for why she was saying "can you accept the risks and responsibilities? Can you fight against the curse of this world?" Maybe, people contact her through the phone asking to become a magical girl and that's what she says to them. This girl also appears right after the phone hangup noise.

Next, there's this scene. Which... is a little concerning.

There's some pretty unfortunate conclusions you could draw here, but look at the digital stuff around her. Is Madoka going to the endless solitude? Remember, to get there you jump off of the radio tower alone. (To be honest, it's been a while since I've seen magia record because I don't really like it, and I haven't seen season 2, so I wouldn't be surprised if there's some gaps so if there's anything from magia record that could add to the analysis I'll leave that to the fans of magia record)

Homura looks so pretty oh my god. New headband, also she's carrying an umbrella

she had one in rebellion too but this one's cooler. Also it looks like she wears pants under her skirt now! Getting some fun design changes to shake it up I see.

Kyoko and Mami got pretty slight design changes, Kyoko looks exactly the same so I'm not actually sure if anything changed and Mami's top looks pretty different. Nothing to say about that except, cool!

Sayaka looks pretty majorly different though. She now has a ribbon wrapping all over her face. Probably something about how she knew about Homura being the devil, this might be symbolism for her being silenced. Either way it's also cool.

After that Homura's on this really tall tower, somehow there's more than one of her. If you look at the backdrop you can see the fence on the roof of the school.

Zooming in, the tower is apparently built up of books. Behind Homura there's some nails, they look sorta like the needles in the first scene. Something interesting is she's wearing her usual magical girl outfit, except with the shawl and brooch from the first scene. The Clara doll also sorta looks like a lizard tail.

And that's the trailer! Hope you enjoyed my spiral into insanity, it took me two hours to write this :D

How would you rank the various PMMM spinoffs?

For the purposes of this list, I'm just counting the manga. Obviously this is just my personal opinion, but I'd put them in this order. I have enjoyed every spinoff I've read!

The Different Story: Pretty much flawless imo, and an absolute must-read for all fans of the original anime. It gives so much additional depth and development to the Holy Quintet, especially Kyoko and Mami.

Tart Magica: Another stellar manga that's pretty much tied for first place. Easily the best of the independent spinoff manga imo. The characters are really likable, and even if you're not normally into historical fiction (like me) it's cool to read about the Hundred Years' War and Joan of Arc's life (as the mangaka includes a lot of notes). Seeing magical girls in a historical setting is also super interesting.

Magia Record (manga): The game and anime are their own things, but I love the game a lot and feel like the manga has been a great adaptation so far. The anime ended up being a big disappointment (at least to me) so I'm hopeful the manga will eventually be a way for people to access the story of Magia Record. Knock on wood it doesn't get axed before they finish the story of Arc 1!

Oriko Magica: Another solid entry, although I think you should be required to read Sadness Prayer after you read the original Oriko Magica manga. Sadness Prayer greatly fleshes out the characters and story of the original manga (it takes place a little before and during the events of Oriko Magica, showing things we didn't see or explaining things better). Not to mention the art very much improved by Sadness Prayer too; I know a lot of people who won't even touch Oriko Magica because of how wonky the art is, lol. Despite the art being off-putting sometimes, I would still recommend the Oriko Magica series because Oriko and Kirika are such great characters.

The Wraith Arc: I'm a bit more lukewarm on this entry. I do like it, but I think it could have benefitted from another volume or two to flesh out the story some more. Which is a shame, because this is pretty much the only look we have so far at Madokami's new universe where Witches no longer exist (Rebellion takes place in Homulilly's barrier, and Magia Record takes place in a unique timeline where Madokami does exist but she can't interfere in this one universe). I still think it's worth a read and as always, Hanokage's art is gorgeous.

Suzune Magica: Great concept, not so great execution. I love the idea of a magical girl serial killer who kills other magical girls to "save" them from the fate of becoming a Witch, but the story feels so rushed. Especially the last volume, which really could have benefitted from another volume or two to flesh out the motivations and actions of the surprise antagonist. I do like the characters in this manga, though. Worth a read, but I'd put it low on the priority list.

Kazumi Magica: Imo the worst spinoff. It was drawn by a hentai artist, so the magical girl designs and some scenes can be... uncomfortable, lol (not, like, explicit but definitely ecchi). The story itself is kind of a disjointed mess, and even with 5 volumes it feels like the there wasn’t enough time for the writer to flesh out all the different plot elements. I think it's worth noting that Kazumi Magica was published when the anime was initially airing, so it's entirely possible the writer didn't know all the intricacies of the PMMM universe and had to go back and contradict himself/come up with alternate explanations. It definitely gives a sense of "early installment weirdness" that the other spinoffs don't have (even Oriko Magica, which was published at the same time as Kazumi Magica). I'm a sucker for all things PMMM so I enjoyed it anyway, lol.

What's your opinion on Homullily? (both Mortal World and Nutcracker versions of her)

I think she looks very cool.

The version with the witch hat feels plainer to me than the spider lily version and I think part of that is due to how flat her colours are compared to most witches (a trait she shares with Walpurgisnacht) and because her outfit looks even more like her magical girl outfit than the spider lily version. She just looks like a giant Homura with a hat for the most part.

But also, having the tip of the hat become the needle to the record on the brim is a good design.

I know there's another version of her but I haven't had a good look at it.

Homulilly as a nutcracker without an upper jaw shows how she perceives herself as useless I think. Her clara dolls also show how she feels about herself. Homulilly is a big well of self-hatred.

Something I really like about the spider lily version is that the colour placement on her matches with Homura. The flowers on her head are the same colour as her glasses or the red ribbon.

I've seen someone say that the red on Homura's design correlates to how much she's allowing herself to feel. Red glasses that she wore before the timeloops, the red ribbon when it was over, and here the red flowers in her despair.

Another interesting thing with ribbons and colour placement not quite related to Homulilly is that Madoka starts wearing the gold ribbons after becoming a god and then being sealed away. The ribbon matches the colour of her eyes as Madokami meaning that even when sealed away she has the same colour palette.

[goji-pilled]

Cute Madoka and Sayaka art as for the rebellion thing: Fair lol when it comes to it being closer to 6 foot and whatnot, I just thought it would be funny. especially since iirc Homulilly is slightly taller than Oktavia in that one rebellion scene. Maybe she can be like an inch taller, to annoy Sayaka forever /j

As for whether it would be Sayaka versus Oktavia... probably depends on your ruling a bit, as well as exactly where the line is, and whether the domestic witches timeline just went bad potentially at some point down the road for the kids to be a thing in the rebellion universe instead of things happening like PMMM canon.

Assuming relative PMMM canon but final timeline was something of a domestic witches timeline that didn't end as well, I think she would be... somewhere in between Sayaka and Oktavia. Closer than her rebellion self, but still more degree of separation. Partially because in PMMM canon, hilariously, witches seem to basically be kinda like shadows from Persona. which can lead to some interesting situations when a magical girl is at high corruption or sometimes just with little warning. A hilarious example being that Oriko's witch once basically went 'this is a fucking callout post that you're a moron' canonically.

more importantly than my random tangent is that it would probably mean, given how Nagisa seems to work in Rebellion and Magia Record, how what the Law of Cycles does to them is described as 'separating' them from their despair, and how Oktavia seems to work in this, is that imo she would be close to Oktavia. Would probably still have some issues even, and probably because she can remember being a full witch, but the part of her that's full on Oktavia is a bit further away. SO when that part of her is in a mood, Sayaka is still functional albeit probably moody, although the part of her that's Oktavia is hanging out in the back of her mind/labyrinth and blasting that one song you said she does. im terrible with this series' songs lol

And that is my random word vomit, sorry if this is a bit much lol

Yeah I guess combining domestic witches with Rebellion would defintely require a whole new set of rules, if not outright a brand new system lmao

(I'm also guessing that with "that one song you said she does" you mean when I mention Symposium Magarum ((Included the link in case you cant remember what it was like)) aka Oktavia's theme)

I'm also bad with the theme names besides the ones I listen to religiously LMAO

Following that last anon, we technically have seen bits of the "full" witch forms of the Magia Record protags: We know how is Elfriede's (Momoko) barrier, and if the anime is something to rely on; we see Giovanna's (Iroha) barrier and familiars in her nightmare world, similar to Homulilly in Rebellion and in one chapter of the anime we can see drawings of "full witches" such as Yachiyo, Rena, Kaede and others. Last, but not least, the final part of Arc 2 have most protags witching out by Mikoto Sena, but full witches are never seen.

^^^^^^

[dreamerwitches]

Kit takes a shot at redesigning some doppels! My main task is to actually incorporate the witch well. Here we gooo!

Kriemhild is already pretty good to me but I wanted to actually incorporate her spectre body. Its helpful shes basically just a silhouette.

Glasses Homulilly takes more from her Portable design, not using the Rebellion-esque arms. Her uhh stick-y thing is now her needles with one already in Kyubey. She also has an extra skirt and wings cause theyre cuuuute

Rebellion Homulilly skews totally in that direction. Spider lily instead of hat and completely removed the portable hairstyle. (It would make it too cluttered anyway). I returned Homura’s arms to the purple arms and she has the mouth covering Rebellion Homulilly’s first form has. The gramophone on her rear is where the Clara Dolls will come out of, because yes, they should be the Clara Dolls, not Lotte
