Puella Magi Madoka Magica thoughts because the movie got annouced for winter 2024
So, i went a bit insane and came up with a thought that would suggest that Homura is linked to Walpurgisnacht
It will be divided into 3 parts :
Tragedic Tales of two beings
Time shenanigans
Other smaller points
So let get straight to it because i ended up having a lot more to say than i initially thought. (sanest individual)
_________________________________________
Tragedic Tales of two beings
Homura and Walpurgisnacht, like most of the Puella Magi Madoka Magica cast of characters and the story itself, are very tragic.
Constant Sadness
These two characters are shown the be in a constant state of sadness and crying : Homulilly is shown crying teeth during her whole fight and Walpurgisnacht is heard crying during her whole fight against Homura ; this the weakest point, thus why i decided to say it first, all witches are in a state of despair (that's the very nature of witches and how they're "born") but none, other than these two, are showing explicit sadness (such as tears) during their respective fights.
Death
Homulilly has a strong death motif throughout her character design : the red spider lillies where her face should be, her skeletal body, the guillotine she is walking towards... ; while Walpurgisnacht does not have an explicit death motif on her design, she does have a strong connection to death throughout her character : she kills thousands upon arrival, strongly suggested that she is the deadliest witch, she exist because many magical girls "died" and she "kills" timelines* (i will talk more about it on a later point)
Helplessness
Walpurgisnacht is the Helplessness witch, which ties very well with the character of Homura, her situation can be described as very helpless : she is helpless to save Madoka, in the 100-ish timelines she went through during the story of the original timeline, she never managed to save Madoka, she was always helpless to help her, even after all of Rebellion, Madoka almost turns back into Godoka immediately, Homura is doomed to fail.
-------
Time shenanigans
Both Walpurgisnacht and Homura (as well as Gretchen) have lots of ties with time as a concept.
Designs
This point is less about Homura and more about connecting Walpurgisnacht with time. Gretchen is designed to be the bottom half of an hourglass and Walpurgisnacht is designed to be the top half of an hourglass, they are designed to be a pair ; Madoka, aka Gretchen, is most often paired with Homura, this time is the only time where she is paired with a character not part of the Holy Quintet. Homura's shield is designed to have a similar shaped, which connects the three further.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Tumblr media
Themes of Cycles
Homura is a character very heavily designed with the concept of time in mind : her power being the ability to rewind time and "create"/access other timelines, as well as her story being a never ending timeloop where she keeps on trying to save Madoka but never succeed ; her whole story during the anime was a cycle, she started it when she made her wish.
If Homura is the one that starts each loop, Walpurgisnacht is the one to end them by either killing Madoka or making her turn into a witch after her death, *she "kills" each loop.
I will add that magical girls and witches are, in themselves, a never ending cycle ; since magical girls turn into witches, each time a witch is killed, she gets "replaced" by a magical girl who fell into despair. (i hope i was clear, i don't think i was-)
-------
Other smaller points
This will just be some very small points that aren't connected to each other, and may be reaching, but points that i still felt like were somewhat important.
Strengh
Walpurgisnacht is said to be the strongest witch, mainly because she isn't technically a single witch but many, and Homura is said to be the strongest magical girl ; both are the strongest of each side.
Royalty
Walpurgisnacht's design/dress has a very noble/royal feel to it and as the strongest witch she can be classified as a the "queen" or "ruler", Homura, has better ties to royalty, her soulgem at the end of Rebellion is shaped like a crown, more specifically like the crown worn by British royalty, and her color, purple, is associated with royalty, as well as power.
Consumption
Homura, at the end of Rebellion, can be seen "eating" her soulgem twice, and Walpurgisnacht is a combination of many witches, which can be interpreted as the witches "eating" each other.
_________________________________________
While Homura cannot be Walpurgisnacht herself, because Walpurgisnacht is an old witch who existed long before her birth, but they are intertwined, they were destined to always fight each other, so there's definitely something.
_________________________________________
Add-ons from the movie update :
Less about the connections between the two, but more speculating about the movie while still focusing on Walpurgisnacht and Homura (and Madoka)
Tumblr media
On this poster we can see 2 Homuras, however, only one wears the red ribbon giving by Madoka : the real Homura, the other one might be Walpurgisnacht, due to the name of the movie as well as her facial expression being mischievous ; antagonistic.
Also some details from the trailer might confirm that :
Tumblr media Tumblr media
The thing that surrounds the phone is shaped similarly to a grief seed, especially the bottom part
Tumblr media
This location is similar to a witch's labyrinth, witch its nonsensical nature
We can definitely expect a fight between the two, that's a given, but what will they be fighting over ? Homura does not care about witches in her new world so that can't be the reason ; but let's look at Madoka in the center, she positioned between the both of them, her back turned seemingly unaware of what is going on ; just like the first season of the anime ; the two might be fighting over her.
We know that Homura would literally do ANYTHING to keep Madoka as a human and as far away as possible from everything magical girl and witches related.
But why could Walpurgisnacht want from Madoka ?
I am not sure, i can see Walpurgisnacht wanting to bring back the Law of Cycles, to get Madoka back and restore it to its full self once and for all ; there's some details and dialog said that can hint towards the fact that Walpurgisnacht and witches are siding with the Law of Cycles.
Tumblr media
This was said by some witch's minions, talking to Homura, telling her ; ordering her even ; to release Madoka, so there's definitely something with making the Law of Cycles whole again, to restore the old world where everything was perfect ; where nobody suffered, where witches didn't suffer.
At the beginning we can see text, said by the witches* (will explain why i think that afterwards) mentioning both Walpurgisnacht and the Law of Cycles :
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
This text talks about Walpurgisnacht's strength which was already established, so nothing new ; except the part where they refer to Walpurgisnacht as a "Calamity", but what i want to focus on are the last two screenshots :
"In the past, this existence brought hope, and eventually scatters curses. [The Law of Cycles] saved us"
"I want to see you, one more time"
I think that this whole thing is said by Walpurgisnacht herself, she is the one that benefited the most from the Law of Cycles, so she would want her back, to see her one more time, to order Homura to release her, so she would save her one more time.
And she gets an answer from Homura, *we can tell due to the white background and what it says :
Tumblr media
She is refusing to give Madoka back, also take notice that Madoka is in quotation mark, i think this is because Homura knows that this isn't the "real" ; complete ; Madoka.
And yet she won't give Madoka back, because in her eyes she is living the perfect life ; a fake life that she built for her and she won't let her efforts go to waste and give her back, especially to a witch ; to Walpurgisnacht.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Here the witch's minions are mocking Homura ; saying that this love is nonsense ; it's too far gone to just be love, it's an obsession, Homura is using her love as an excuse to control Madoka ; she betrayed Madoka's wish just to keep her for herself ; she betrayed everyone for her "love" : Homura is well aware of all of that and yet she can't let her go, she prioritizes Madoka's safety and happiness over everything, including herself.
The witch's minions are calling her out on her unhealthy love.
Tumblr media
So that was my thoughts so far, if I have more I will add them, but I think I have milked everything that I could from this 1min31s trailer ; there's a few more things that I wanted to add about it but it was unrelated to the post and would feel weird if I mentioned them out of the blue, wouldn't be connected.
