To put it another way, if QB started taking advantage of guys, he would likely say something like 'Hey! Make a wish and I will grant it. As a trade, be a Superhero working for me and hunting Supervillains! That will be awesome", instead of "Hey! Make a wish and I will grant it. As a trade, be a Sorcerer working for me and hunting Abominations! That will be awesome!". Guess which one will be more appealing?

From meta perspective, I'm pretty sure that whatever Eldritch Abomination is behind the QBs won't be revealed (fully) in this series. Sure, self-exalted Madoka might avert The End Of The World As We Know It (with Homura <3), but it will ultimately fail to harm the Bigger Bad. I mean, Kazumi Magica is on-going, Oriko Magica will soon come. This tear-stained saga of the lost and the damned still has a long way to go...

1. Since this episode aired, 2channel has racked up over 20,000 posts. We're now on thread 395.
2. "Evil" is not easy to define. This creature may be acting quite ethically, either from the point of view of all humanity, or from its own non-human point of view. But it is certainly not acting in the interests of our heroines as individuals. It is willing to deceive them on any matter (such as Madoka's potential power?) and seems completely indifferent to their suffering. 3. One of the things that's so great about the way Katou Emiri does his voice is the slightly robotic feeling she gives, conveying a hint of alienness. 4. The exchange between Madoka and Homura was fantastic: how Homura fell apart emotionally, and how Madoka seemed not to hear or take seriously anything she said, and just slipped away. Chilling.

I must praised everyone especially Mentar who have predict that Sayaka will become a witch and Kyubey is the true villain
So the goal of becoming a mahou shoujo is becoming a witch.... damn you Incubator!!! looks like I just realized that Homura has two personalities... XD never imagine that Homura will crying in front of Madoka and Madoka! don't be too kind.... Kyubey is only using you |

Ah, so it's finally revealed witches are fallen magical girls. JUST AS PLANNED. Pretty painful to watch as we saw Sayaka go all Shion on us. Kyubee is an epic troll; should totally team up with Izaya or Beatrice or something. Lol @ him going om nom nom on himself.
Homura's breakdown... actually I didn't see it coming that fast. She just cracked at the futility apparently; that part had me pretty depressed. So she's from the future? Oh don't tell me, she's an Archer... Meanwhile Kyoko is just facepalming at the situation; to her it should be simply. But it just isn't. Overall, another impressive episode. No ass pulls or silly twists, just a return to actually telling a story. A rare feat these days, really. 9/10 What will you do now, Madoka?

As for that demon... Yeah, I know. He's using what's more appealing, not necessarily the correct one. That's marketing.

OHGAWD. imagine my face when those popular theories finally came true (or not yet completely)!!
-IN-KYUBEY-TOR IS EFFIN EVIL!!!: (shoot me but 5% of my brain tells me he’s still morally gray.) -QB has multiple bodies!oh gawd, this kinda grossed me out that i wanted to puke. DX) - fallen MGs turn to witches: (sayaka’s fall to complete doom gave me chills! it was bloody well-played!!) -Homura came from the future: (i just need to wonder where the hell is the present homura?!) -Homura and Madoka had this kind of relationship that i’m itching to know!! (i think they’re lovers. Kannazuki no Miko anyone?) -Homura’s power is time manipulation -the ED lyrics has always been a spoiler to Homura’s feelings for Madoka: ( that scene just gave her away!! she truly loves madoka!! and it was painful to watch! my heart couldn’t stand seeing homura like that. T____T but hell yeah! yuri is becoming blatant now. XD) i feel very sorry for kyoko though. DX she cares for sayaka so much that she’s so eager to save her. DX and about kamijo and hitomi, i wouldn’t be surprised if hitomi actually told kamijo about sayaka’s feelings for him. and she’s like the one getting the two together in reality. so yeah, it might be that sayaka just misunderstood that scene. DX anyhow,yes, things turned quite predictable but that doesn’t change the fact that they were very well-executed!! brilliantly done in every way!! i just never thought urobuchi would confirm those obvious hints he gave.I Thought he had something else in mind to trash those speculations. but yeah, that was one hella awesome episode! first time i’m giving this show a PERFECT rate!!! XDD EPISODE 09 PLEASE!! (will it be kyoko’s turn to die? will witch-sayaka kill her?)

The least she can do is to turn into the first Mahou Shoujo of the known kind and validate the title of this show Mahou Shoujo Madoka Magica. And from there on, force every show that ever wants to use the concept of MS will have to use the whole name Mahou Shoujo Madoka Magica. Because if the Madoka Magica part is omitted, we should automatically assume that such series is going to be about witches.

As I've posted before, this just becomes a propaganda battle. Her word vs his, and there's just a deadlock. And when one side promises easy solutions and grand prizes, while all Homura has to offer is despair, she's just at a huge disadvantage.
Also, apparently she's tried before and failed.

10/10, best episode yet, Homura finally breaking down, Sayaka turning into a witch (probably), QB disappearing into shadows, eating his dead body, etc.
[SARCASM] By the way, excellent work on the allegory of QB as the Devil, the instrument of God, to test Man, bringing out the weakness in him, so the Allmighty will have an easier job to condemn the weak (Mami, Sayaka, Kyoko, Homura), and award the boring (Madoka) [/SARCASM] BGM also did wonders ... again PS: Sponge QB, and Rambo Homura were real treats |

On second thought, isn't anyone even slightly perturbed at the fact that while Madoka asked Homura calmly why she "killed" Inkyubeytor, after their emotional discussion Madoka seems to have forgotten the dead body beside her, the wish she was about to give it, and walked away to find Sayaka?
