which currently leaves me with two major theories:

1. We've all been reading far too literally into Madoka's vision, and the Witch could have Sayaka-like characteristics simply to foreshadow Sayaka being corrupted into some monstrous form. In other words, the Gear Witch prophecy may have already been fulfilled, and the Final Boss is going to be something completely different.

2. The Final Boss will have multiple "modes," each reminiscent of the Magical Girls Madoka has bumped into during the course of the series. We're only shown its Sayaka-based form so Sayaka's transformation is foreshadowed while the Final Boss Witch's full abilities can remain a surprise.

But idunno.

Obvious ? i don't think so.

sayaka's MG form using cloak, and on that walpurgisnight witch head isn't a cloak.

sayaka's MG costume design different to walpurgisnight clothes.
sayaka's SG design is more like crescent moon, and the thing around the witch shape more like magatama or 6/9 number

witch sayaka is dead.

Spoiler for :

that's scene come before sayaka become a witch
