I figured previously that if a Soul Gem becomes a Grief Seed, since they both have a motif of "small icon on top of large round thing", the icon would remain the same. There isn't really a precedent for it, but it makes sense intuitively. |

Also, how in the world did Homura know this witch was stronger than what Mami was expecting?
And in knowing so, and yet being confident she, rather than Mami, could defeat it, has Homura been pretending to be far weaker than she actually is? Mami has...woops....had ;p seemed pretty confident that she could defeat Homura, but now I'm left wondering. |

The two actions seem to contradict each other. Of course, I could be totally overthinking things and Homura really was helpless when wrapped in Mami's ribbons, and that we shouldn't take Homura's actions against the witch as meaning she could have easily evaded/removed those ribbons of Mami's. |

Homura has never shown any intention of attacking another human. Mami's ribbons probably caught her off guard because she wasn't expecting to actually fight. And they only disappeared after Mami died, presumably because she was powering them.

Considering Homura went "Masaka" when the binds disappeared with more emotion that she's shown in her other lines, I'm 100% certain that she wasn't faking it to get Mami offed.
Incidentally, the Grief Seed from the end is also the witch's. It fell from the sky and even landed on an entirely different table from... Mami's remains. Also, Homura's teleportation ability isn't unlimited. Even in the very first 5 minutes of episode 1 we see her get hit. Clearly if she were to be taken by surprise, she'd get caught. |

But damn, I had a bad feeling when Mami started talking like that near the end. Plus how she was knocking around the witch made it clear her finishing move wouldn't work, but didn't think she'd just get killed there. Wonder if either of the girls can use a wish to revive her from the dead.

I was wondering why the grief seed had what looks like a cage around it but I checked episode 2 and it's just the design.
I like that they've got different designs that match the environment/witch. The one from ep 2 had a butterfly at the top of it, the one in ep 3 looks like a cake. I'm kind of sad how it ended. I was expecting Kyuube to take the opportunity alone with Sayaka to chat with her and make her decide on a wish. I was going to ask why Madoka has such strong powers but then I remembered it's a mahou shoujo show. Nanoha taught me that you don't need a reason. |

Btw, was this episode confirmation that Homura can, in fact, hear Kyubei?
She sure seemed to be able to when she interjected there when Kyubei (who's mouth was most definitely not moving) was telling the girls to make their wish. Now I'm just loling if she was able to hear all the comments at school concerning her from Sayako etc. |

A real pity about Mami. Just when she thought her life was getting better, then that... To be expected of Urobuchi. I wouldn't have thought that she would die, considering the OP shows the three of them hanging out.
I'm interested in Homura's reactions. She knew about the witch and that it was too strong for Mami. Yet, she was honestly surprised when Mami died, as if it couldn't have happened. More proof that she's a time traveler. Mami really shouldn't have tied her up, she probably wouldn't have died if she and Homura tag teamed her.
