Ok, wow...read the raw. Kazumi was quite the teacher of tough love eh?
Spoiler for Spoilers for raw chapter.:
I'm so far surprised at this manga. It's done a pretty good job of adding some unique elements to what we've already seen in Oriko and Madoka, but keeps the atmosphere and overall "feel" of the anime intact. It might have some silly moments, but when you consider the revelations so far, it's actually a pretty dark story.

Yeah, the new chapter is finally translated.
As for Jyubey with the special person, I was under impression that it was Kyubey, and just a case of confusing frame use. Look at the frame where the special person was walking away... Also aren't we forgetting that this is the same series that featured Yuri, who had a ridiculous amount of skills for a singular puella (where the TV series only implied that they're limited to at least two)?

Okay I've come up with a theory as to what happened to Kazumi and why Satomi suddenly said what she said.
Now I believe everything seen in that flashback was true except they may have left out on critical piece of information that being if Kazumi had ever on the verge of becoming a which. Think about when the Saints were waiting for Kazumi that night no one could find her. What if at the time of the great reveal Kazumi was about to go witch and Saints found her in time to remove her soul gem, put her on ice and revived her later. This is the reason they still have not purified the other girls yet they don't know if the process is going to even work so they are waiting to see what happens with Kazumi since she's their first experiment. As for why Satomi said they should just kill her? Look at her reaction at page 24. Well we've all seen what happens every time Kazumi has a freak out you know with the weird eyes and stuff. Well maybe Satomi is starting to think that Kazumi is turning into a failed experiment and the only why to help her now is put her down before it's too late.

I'm really suspicious of the validity of this flashback in it's entirety. We were told that none of Kazumi's friends knew her wish, and she's telling them within the flashback as part of motivating them to contract with Jyubey.
So either A) They're all lying, and why would they do that if it's as innocuous as waking up her grandma, B) they all forgot somehow (why?) or C), the memories Kazumi is recovering right now are FAKE...which is HIGHLY LIKELY. Hell, I can't even connect how her presented wish connects to all the weird stuff Kazumi does. How does waking up grandma let her turn bombs into toys, or detect the false Witches, or turn Witches into Puella Magi hybrid abominations? Hell, how is waking up a comatose person "Sacrilege/Destruction"? No, this entire story is bullshit. Umika must've fucked with her head.

Well the bomb can simply be explained as transformation magic after all we've seen it done in the main series before. Like Mami making a magic bat for Sayaka or Kyoko enhancing the telescope. the others we don't know for sure but maybe her wish to restore her Grandma gave her to power to restore all things to their original state and some extent break it down?

How does Mami's wish to survive a car accident give her muskets and ribbons? What does Kyoko's weapon or barrier power have anything to do with her wish to get people to listen to her father? |

And again, I just don't see how waking someone from a coma has to do with "breaking down." Restoring to one's original state might work, but she specifically turned the bomb into a toy.

All she really does is make a wall come up that's made of substances not unlike her spears. Though if you want a fanwank, you could argue that it's entirely illusory and convinces everyone involved that 'this line shall not be crossed' or something.
