But isn't that sequence slightly wrong? The Homura binding spell should've broken after or the moment Mami's bod transformed back (supposed instant of her death), not seconds before when she was surprised. That'd suggest the unlocking frame was willfully done by Mami (to have Homura save the others and why did Homura think that was "impossible"?) in her last moments of life before her head was munched off, showing even in the moment of surprize she was steady-headed enough to do that act (unless she'd a premonition). After seeing how relatively brutual some of this anime's scenes are, I'd be surprised they didn't show the head munching scene because they thought it was "too much" for the fans.
