(L) Kazumi Magica - The Innocent Malice (Spinoff manga series)

[Diveman]

I just re-read Kazumi again (sigh, I do this everytime a new ch is out since it helps me to understand the whole background better),

Spoiler for Its making more sense now...kinda:

I think it "is" safe to say, the memories Umika showed to kazumi are false, because in addition to the fact that kazumi tells them her wish in the flashback, Kaoru's wish is different too: In ch 2 she says that she wished for a healthy body that would always allow her to play soccer, but in ch12 she wishes to help the people who were hurt in the soccer match, and when Kazumi asks "what about your leg?" she says "its fine, I will come back to the field".

So even if the wish included herself, its reasonably different from what she told to Kazumi, even though it could be a lie such as when they wold her "anyone can turn into a witch", but why would they lie about their wishes? beats me

Spoiler for Meh!:

As proven in Chapter 13, this was one of Kazumi's clones with the original's memories.

Actually, to wish for a healthy body, Puella Magis actually have enhanced body strength and regeneration, allowing them to have a healthy body in a way.

So I doubt it would have been any more different than the wish made in chapter 12, but then again, she was hurt in the soccer match, so she was healed (I think, sort of) too by that wish.

But lying about their wishes? That'd be weird.

But I wonder how Saki's powers got her to make her use electricity.

[Myssa Rei]

New chapter is out and translated.

Welp, I guess this is where things start to go tumbling down. Honestly I wasn't expecting Satomi to be the one to break the compact (I am assuming between the Pleiades) first. Huh.

Against 12 previous "attempts", I think the odds are stacked against anyone who tries to help Kazumi. I expect permanent deaths at this rate.

Unless we get some crossover again from the main series again. But that wouldn't be fun.

[Diveman]

At least now we know that...

Spoiler for Also i called it didnt I?:

Kaoru lied the first time about her wish or lied in the flashback, whatever. Also there Is a someone creating the evil nuts and its a man. I wonfer if Satomi is actually working for that guy.

Oh it also puzzles me, why Clone Nico's soul gem wasnt tainted but she still turned into a witch. Also I think when clone nico said "we have no future as long as he's around", she might have been talking about the real villian of the series

[Jimmy C]

We don't know if the creator of the evil nuts is a man for certain. Remember, Japanese has gender neutral pronouns. The translator could be just guessing.

[Shadow5YA]

The supplier of the evil nuts will be Kyubey. Just watch.

[Diveman]

That actually makes a lot of sense

[deadsea]

I think that this manga is getting out of control .what about cloning michiru?, they make clear that with flesh of her witch form, but what about her soul gem?? ... I don't get it.
Also saki's hair grows
Satomi has the twelve michiru's clones, but that clones should be witches??
The freezer with girls ... the pleiades are using girls for ..? research about turn into witches or what?

Yes, to be more exact, research on how to turn Magical girls/witches into humans again.

Not really...well technically "maybe". They are just Kazumis that failed somehow.

Satomi made it clear that Kazumi's soul gem is actually a Grief seed.

[deadsea]

Here some pics about cannibalism, this is keeps getting darkness

Spoiler for Spoiler ahead be careful:

[Diveman]

This is getting good, can't wait for chapter summary spoiler!

[deadsea]

Where is the summary ?
I can´t wait anymore ;_;

[Diveman]

Please, anyone got a summary or more spoilers? I can barely sleep , thinking about what is gonna happen ; (

[Myssa Rei]

The translation has been up for a day now at... The usual place. Sorry, but it's against board policy to give out links.

[Diveman]

OK, pretty straightforward Ch

Spoiler for Cannibalism:

They show a flashback of how kazumi became a witch, they were just cooking and then bam!

Nico, Mirai and KYUBEI are watching without doing anything. Satomi reveals that Saki wanted to kill all the copies of kazumi if the end up being failures, but she couldnt bring herself to do it, so satomi says she's gonna "Help saki to get rid of her burden".

Kazumi's clones can use the attacks of all the Pleadies because they all used their magic to create such clones.

Apparently Kazumi can eat/absorb her clones to regenerate herself, hence the title "Cannibalism". Kazumi's clones ask her to kill them, kazumi doesnt want to so Satomi uses her Cat staff to attack and pierce them (its one of the spoiler picks in the previous posts).

Last pannel shows Kazumi and one clone on the ground while Satomi grins saying "I killed all the Kazumis".

[deadsea]

damn short chapter...

[Diveman]

Next chapter someone has to do/say something

[Solace]

New chapter is out.

Spoiler for New chapter is out, speculation tagged:

Totally expecting Satomi to turn into a Witch at this point. Again I'm drawn back to the pool of dirty Gems and the revelation in this chapter that Kazumi can "eat" the other clones to regenerate. This may turn out to be the story that explains the origins of Walpurgis. All the signs are there.

Kazumi is a "witch" with no barrier.
She can absorb her clones and has the powers of the other Saints.
The Saints are all on the verge of despair.
The huge number of stored girls on the verge of despair in one spot.
Kyubey is involved, and we know the goal of the Incubators: as much energy output as possible from the creation of a Witch. This would be a huge payload.
Witches absorb elements of their birthplace into their barrier/design. If Kazumi turns into Walpurgis, it would explain the gears: they're all over the place in the museum. The animal parade would be the stuffed animals stored there as well.

Essentially, the theory would be that Kazumi ends up absorbing all of it: the Saints, the stored girls, her own clones, and becomes the uber witch: Walpurgis. She's different from a normal witch in that she has no barrier and possesses multiple powers, and her familiars are the "remnants" of magical girls she absorbed.

I don't like speculating about Walpurgis (I kind of like it being a mystery), but even I have to admit this would be the perfect storm for its origin.

Spoiler for too late:

Kazumi's story begins a bit too late for her to become Walpurgisnacht. The witch is legendary to experienced Puella Magi. If Mami and Kyouko are aware of it, then there's no way Walpurgis can be a new phenomenon created by Kazumi.

And no, there hasn't been any hint that Walpurgisnacht can time travel. Just throwing that out there just in case.

[Jimmy C]

I'm suspicious of Satomi's story of how Kazumi witched out. If you go through that flashback, there's no sign of the two common causes of fully corrupt Soul Gems. Complete magical exhaustion or total depression. If Satomi's tale is consistent with what really happened, then Kazumi's psyche just collapsed suddenly from a reminder of the other girls' contract.
