When asked why she is always so cold, she answered that she probably is not human anymore. Plus another odd reaction. And maybe add the fact that she mentioned yet again that Madoka should have given up on Sayaka.
Homura didn't want either of them to turn MG. But when Sayaka did, Madoka was supposed to give up on her. It would seem like Homura was able to predict that something along those lines would have happened to Sayaka. Homura still tried to help her and actually did so several times, but it seems like her safety was only secondary reason, as seen with this episode's repeated cold reaction that Sayaka should be given up on. Her main concern was Madoka. Now to what I'm getting at. I speculate that Homura used to be quite human, maybe not as much as Madoka, but close to. She told many MGs before about the SG thing but it's just no one ever believed her so there was no further reason why she should have done so this time, plus it's a rare case that your SG takes an over 100 meter distance. From Homura's view, Madoka should give up on Sayaka because if she doesn't, it will be the moreso painful and bothersome when it turns out that any concern or support for Sayaka was futile in the future. I imagine that Homura relived a similar case. Or it even might be that Homura herself was the cause for the events which happened and which are eventually responsible for why she turned cold. These events caused her persona to be traumatized and in the end she evolved into the cold personality that she is. Of course her emotions are still intact as we can see from her rare reactions to certain things mentioned, but her facade pretty much turned to stone at this point. Maybe it's not the best comparison but she reminds me a bit of DTB's Yin. However Yin surely wanted to bring across her emotions, she just couldn't partially due to what she was. And her fate was kinda predetermined. And there's still something wrong with someone that doesn't smile. Gyaah!

Btw, where is Homura getting all her power from? Is she killing off a lot of witches off-screen?
I got the distinct impression from the Mami arc that one's soul gem clouds up pretty fast just by using your power. Homura has been using a lot of power me thinks. Anyways, just one of those things that could be a detail we shouldn't fret over, or maybe not? And I'd still love to know what she does with the grief seeds she collects, as I think we can rule out her giving them to Kyuube. Last edited by creb; 2011-02-18 at 04:38. |

A friend of mine presented me with the idea that Homura might be from the future. Like her wish was to come into the past. That would seem tangent to explain why QB does not know of her despite being the creator of the MG, as well as what is speculated that she has some kind of time manipulative abilities that could be an bonus of said wish.
The opening also show some hints to the future with Madoka's transformation sequence with what appears to be her future self. I still want to think its speed based, but this idea does fit better in my mind, although I hate to admit it ><

You didn't even explain who this cat is. |

Wow episode 8 just confirmed it ... Homura is a time traveler which in retrospect is really obvious. Many even speculated it from episode 1. Now, the question is who was Homura in the previous timeline...
But, before that allow me to do some maniacal laughter Mwha hahahahahahaha.... I really love it when some speculation proved true... Anyway back to my original question who was Homura? Spoiler for Homura is Madoka ( The Archer theory):
Spoiler for Homura is Sayaka theory:
Spoiler for Homura is Kyubey:
Spoiler for Homura is Homura theory:
Hmm... I think I've covered all the main characters... But... Errgg.... Homura could also be Madoka's mom, her wiped out of existence childhood friend or older sister.... and even a cat ... who knows.... Anyway, what do you think is more probable? Place your bets before the final ep.

I am going with "Homura is Madoka and there is a time loop where Homura and Madoka keep trying to save each other."
QB's intention is to simply keep growing as many witches as he can. He doesn't think, he is literally an incubator that serves only that purpose. |

But since it's confirmed that Homura has time manipulation ability (not that she come from the future), I sure hope it's related to something better than a usual I-come-from-the-future-to-fix-it-all.
