I mean, think about it. In the first time line Madoka dies like a heroine. We know that kind of heroic sacrifice would make Madoka "happy". It's not real happiness, but it's the kind of fantasy happiness I could see going on inside Madoka's fake "heaven". Additionally, in the first time line Sayaka doesn't go witch, and Walpurgis doesn't destroy the city. It seems like a perfect ending, even though it's a lie. But then something happened that was unexpected. Homura made a wish, and things began to turn more and more ugly. Madoka's "heaven" is not so anymore; now it's filled with despair. On the other hand, Homura's unexpected intervention might be the key to turn Kriemhild into a human (Madoka) again, and free all the souls inside her fake "heaven". But yeah, it's just too wild a theory.

In any case, Walpurgis is a pretty mysterious thing, so there's nothing set in stone about it, not even the supposed destruction it brings about.

It can't be the barrier since the witch is dead at that time and WN's barrier always looks kinda locked off (Like Homura's ZA WARUDO - All lifeless/colorless) You can see the sun rays cutting through the clouds in that cap.
And as for not being the city, we haven't seen the girls battle witches in different cities. Wasn't Kyoko a testament to there being other MG's? If this wasn't these girls' territory, then there had to be other MGs as well but none were to be seen anywhere. And if you meant not actual as in fake, In all instances the aftermath has looked the same. Now unless you mean to say WN hasn't been defeated even once and that her barrier is still up... Judging from the perspective (With the water levels and such) The damage stretches real far. I can't imagine there not being causalities. Who knows, maybe she was referring to the people outside the city. |

So my point is, Walpurgis is a pretty mysterious element in the story. Heck, there's even a card and description for witch Madoka, but not for Walpurgis. Overall, Walpurgis is so ambiguous an existence that you can't be sure about anything about it. I definitely won't speculate about it myself. It's a waste of time at this point, IMO. You think for sure the city is destroyed? Well, I don't think so, not at all, considering Madoka's behaviour and words when she's about to sacrifice her life. Let's agree to disagree if you want.

But really, I don't want to argue about this. It's pointless IMO. We don't even know if Walpurgis is actually a witch. The whole thing is way too ambiguous. Like I said, if you think the city is destroyed then let's agree to disagree. It's not like we can prove one way or another.

The barrier is a manifestation of the witches mind and would dissapear on death. The tree is probably a physical manifestation of the witches body and with how powerful the witch was the body might have survived the collapse of the barrier. It could also be that the witch didn't have a barrier in the first place.

Just wondering, but isn't it counter to Kuby's whole purpose to feed entropy to see the witches ultimately win and world destroyed with all dynamics ended -- at least universally? Maybe Madoka is only one battlefield in a ever shifting war. Just asking.
