HSBSBWIWWNA......$/!3x,,,,,, sobs IM SO FUCKING HAPPY SSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSW

the autism cannot be contained today, my own mother has already become a victim (she was forced to hear my infodumping about beachside bonds this morning)

My favourite part of Nagisa's sidestory is when Nagisa, Yuu, and Inui had a lovely tea party with Nagisa's homemade cheesecake and emotional support for Inui to break up with her shitty boyfriend and emotional support for Nagisa dealing with her shitty mom's death and nothing bad happened!

Smile!

In Magia Record's re-run of the Nagisa's Wish event, Yuu has at long last been given a canon design, and she's adorable.

In the past, I drew a design for her myself (here, and here) based on the old silhouette they used and I talked a bit then about the similarities I saw between her and Nagisa's appearances. Have a look at those for context if you'd like, because I'm going to revisit that again here with her new look. Below the cut ↓

To start with, some of the things I pointed out on Yuu's silhouette as being shared with Nagisa's magical girl outfit did not survive to her final appearance, such as the fuzz around the edge of her neck frill, the shorts she wears, and the bows along her tails and across her frill.

Though the tails themselves which I compared to the pompoms hanging from Nagisa's hat did survive, that alone isn't enough to draw a connection.

So it seems unlikely that when Nagisa made her wish, her appearance was influenced by Yuu being the first and only magical girl she'd met up to that point.

We can scrap that idea.

However, the parts of Yuu that I noted as resembling Nagisa's witch form, Charlotte... those do still hold up. When you look closely at Yuu, she has rings in her eyes which aren't present when she isn't transformed, and we now know that she uses her horn as her weapon.

Charlotte has a pure white face and a split open mouth, like Nagisa's mother described her killer. This is the strongest piece of evidence which the rest of it is built upon.

Charlotte attacks with her face as well.

And admittedly, perhaps reaching a little here, Charlotte as a worm has a cone-shaped pointy nose that might resemble Yuu's horn.

They also just both have clown energy.

Huh. Looking at these pictures I'm now wondering if I could draw a comparison between Charlotte's head wings and the bundles of cloth hanging from either side of Yuu's head.

...

Yuu was instrumental in Nagisa's transformation over the course of the story, from someone accepting of the abuse she experienced every day into a person seeking to cut ties with her family and create her own freedom, and then Yuu played the part of the person who mistakenly took Nagisa's agency away from her at the end which is what tipped Nagisa over the edge, so I like the idea a lot that Nagisa's grief made manifest from that event took a form that recognises the significance of the Sleepwalking Ghost.

I love her

[cafeaubandage]

None of you will understand how much this line means to me the raw energy of this line now that we KNOW what Yuu looks like...

the fucking ETHOS. Do you see that smile, next to Nagisas dull eyes, you can clearly tell, Yuu has no idea what she has done is wrong, in fact she things throught the entire rerun that she is in the RIGHT. It feels so different now that Yuu has...a face? You can almost feel her cheerfulness, her joy sharing that she will lways support nagisa, always being by her side, Despite us knowing this only makes Nagisa witch out Nagisa says before, she wants her mom to die, because she didn't wish her illness away, And Yuu took that, Without realizing what she did, Only to say shes by her side Its pain staking to see! But thats what i love about Yuu! The cheerful pain, because we know what happens next, It makes me think of beachside bonds too, Yuu saying she will be by Nagisa side, only for Nagisa to witch out... making Yus statement false. How many times has this happened? How many times has Yu unknowingly said this lie?

I wanna stick them in a room together and be a fly on the wall

Here are the quest victory quotes for Yuu! Credit to @muffinrecord for the screenshots.

Top: We can't go back anymore, 'cause there's nothing left. Middle: Alright, we've gotta get to the next one. Bottom: If you're in a pinch, why don't I lend you a hand?

As always, friendly disclaimer that my Japanese isn’t the best, as I’m still learning. If you spot a mistake, please let me know, and I’ll fix it!

Yuu is a horse girl.

She walks on four legs like a horse. She roleplays a horse in her idle animation.

Her witch form is a horse.

Ultimate horse girl I love her so much.

Nagisa living long enough to form bonds with other magical girls presents two wildly different AUs:

1. She meets Mami and the two help eachother through their mutual issues (fluff-fix-it-fic style)

2. She's mentored by Yuu and becomes an assassin who gets you with the bubble blower and puts a slice of cheese on your corpse (fix-it-fic but alot less fluff)

Homescreen girl of the day is... Yuu!

Edit: I find it super funny how I was specifically missing a ref for the back of her and the new event specifically added such a clear view of it :P

The latest Magia☆Report features Ren, Nagisa, Yuu and Rika!
