You know the truth is after 2 years since the TV broadcast ended I actually felt myself losing eagerness for this movie. I mean time erodes all.
And....then I watched the two movies and I remembered, "Oh yeah, this series is the very creation of the puppies and kitties and happiness mushed together." |

I for one hope Homura keeps using military hardware in the new universe. I get the who symbolism of the bow, but the using real weapons really adds to Homu's badass appeal and, IMO she just isn't the same without her arsenal. |

Really, I'd rather she didn't, since nothing can top the Walpurgis fight and she has no reason to keep them. Let her just inherit Madoka's powers for symbolism.
Really, I'd rather know what 'this world's Homura' (before main Homura overwrote her memory) wished for. Did she wish to save that cat to continue the tradition of that cat being saved in every timeline?

^ Urobuchi doesn't even now how the cat is called, so I doubt Homura's wish relates to it in any way.
But I agree it's an interesting question. What did Homura wish for in a world where she never knew Madoka? Whatever it is, I hope it helps to explain her powers, especially the witch-like black wings from the epilogue of the tv series.

Aside from that, the only thing I can think of is that Homura made a wish that's idealistic and Madoka-y, establishing an in-universe reason for their metaphysical connection. As for the wings, my personal headcanon is still "Madoka appears to those who lose hope > Homura knows this > Homura can never completely lose hope > Whenever her soul gem would otherwise darkens, she hears Madoka, gets happy, and releases all the Grief in a super attack."

I'm not so sure they would (or even need to) reveal Homura's wish in the new Madokaless world. I'm thinking it would be similar to Steins;Gate's time travel narrative, where the main protagonist's consciousness is transplanted into the new world.

In the new world, on the other hand, the original Homura takes over when Sayaka dies, and it's clear the Homura of this world already was a magical girl since before the point. So, this means the Homura of this world, a Homura who didn't know Madoka, made a wish and became a magical girl for some reason. Then, later on, the consciousness from the original Homura took over her body, but retained the powers the Homura of this world already had. If you think about it that way, it's really not that hard to understand. Quote:

Agreed, the bigger "problem" here is that when homura changed from one world to the other before only very minor thing would change; while for the latest world we see, madoka rewrte all of history ; I think they won't really change the impact of the historic ahou shoujo and we will only see a few things that change for the current generation of mahou shoujo.

I'm wondering if it was a proof that their souls aren't in their bodies, and they don't die as long as the soul gem is fine? Like some previous timeline where she showed that as a horrific example to someone for some reason.

I was wondering how it's relevant to the story. The Homura we know took over, and more than likely the narrative will focus on her. I don't really think who the former Homura of the new world was matters.[/QUOTE] |

My guess is that gen wantsh to end "madoka's" history by ending homura's so he/someone else can start writing the new arc using new magical girls (I lost track of the article, but several new mangas have been confirmed, one of which is about a new magical girl, it is even named after her), so doing something like gundam -> gundam.
