Mahou Shoujo Madoka Magica 4

That little furry white creature is slowly giving off bad aura as each episode passes. Those 2 red eyes are cunning!



ARGH... it isn't cute and innocent anymore!!!!

Well, at least Mami didn't just pop back into our screens again although from the OP, i still have a gut feeling that Mami's coming back... the important part would be HOW she's going to come back (provided she does). Making a wish back then during the accident to give her immortality could be possible but after seeing how Sayaka had finally decided her wish which benefited another individual, it could be possible that Madoka might use hers on Mami instead, or just decide to end the whole witches and Mahou Shoujo generation with it. Anything could be possible.



And yes. This episode marks the debut of Sayaka as a Mahou Shoujo and our dear protagonist have still yet to sign a contract with the evil Kyubey (let's just label him as a villian 1st since i don't really see a good side of him yet). Not that i wish for more successful contracts to be made with Kyubey though =X



Madoka didn't seem to have gotten over Mami's death and was still constantly concerned over it, blaming herself on how powerless she was. Even while trying to talk to Sayaka about it, Sayaka seems to push it off for later as she didn't really want to talk about it yet. When the two finally had some time together, the duo realises that everything they had experienced were of a different world as of now and no one actually realises the things that were going on around them, witches etc. Sayaka asks Madoka once again if she really did want to become a Mahou Shoujo after all that has happened and together, they reject Kyubey's offer to become Mahou Shoujos and the sly creature leaves the two behind to search for another contractor. Yet, Sayaka didn't really threw her option away after her emotions got the better of her and she decided to go along with the contract.

Before her debut, Madoka had met up with Akemi who was happy for her that she had brushed off the contract and with that, she was able to save another person, or to put it simply, to prevent another Mahou Shoujo from being born and risking her life. Apparently, Akemi knew that Madoka was too kind and gave her an advice that being too kind isn't good for her and that the Mahou Shoujos were fighting for their own wishes that they made, and not particularly fighting for someone else.

Unfortunately, Mami would be forever listed as missing in the real world since she died in the other dimension and her body (if the previous witch did leave some of it behind =X)would be left in that world. Madoka felt that this was just too sad since no one knows about the Mahou Shoujos fighting secretly to protect the people from witches, which then lead to the previous point, where they are actually fighting for their own wishes as Akemi had put bluntly.

Now, thats a pretty good protagonist attitude Madoka has, which makes me think that hey! she'd most probably sign a contract to protect everyone with her own powers, just that i'm still curious about what exactly she'd wish for.

Back in the hospital, Sayaka's crush, Kyousuke, finally let out his feelings after Sayaka repeatedly brought hinm music to hear and to him, it felt like torture as he was only about to hear them but not able to play them due to the accident he had went through, which he had to discard his dream of playing music away. Sayaka was taken aback from Kyousuke's words and when she tells him that his hand could be healed since magic and miracles exist, our cunning creature appears just TOO coincidentally



JUST in time to "lure" Sayaka into a contract to help Kyousuke.

Meanwhile, Madoka was still wandering around on her own when she spots Hitomi with a witch's kiss on her neck. Not being able to snap her out of the witch's influence, she had no choice but to follow her where a group of people under the same witch's influence, had grouped together and was prepared to discard their lives together. Madoka, not willing to see more innocent people lose their lives, rushes in to take away the potentially dangerous item and flings it out of the warehouse they were in. The people then changed their target to Madoka after seeing what she had done and with Madoka locking herself in to escape from them, she was brought into the witch's dimension.



As an evil witch, Madoka was repeatedly shown images of Mami whom she believes the responsibility of her death was on her. Nearing her possible death, Sayaka rushes in to save Madoka and after her brilliant swordsmanship.



She cuts the witch down and acknowledges her status as a Mahou Shoujo to Madoka, who was confused as she had thought that Sayaka wouldn't want to sign a contract after all that has happened. Akemi arrives at the scene as well and was silently disappointed that Sayaka had signed the contract and she didn't seem happy about it. Meanwhile, Kyousuke was able to move his hands again due to Sayaka and a happy Kyubey (after successfully getting Sayaka to become a Mahou Shoujo), meets up with another, Kyouko, who has laid her eyes on the city as well.



... Seems that Sayaka would be the first witch that we know, who's literally fighting for someone else after having made such a wish for another individual and she'd have to risk her life in return for nothing for herself and Kyousuke might not even know that it was Sayaka who'd helped him regained his hand abilities. Well, that doesn't seem to matter to Kyubey though, who just seems to be happy to have another girl's life tied under him. With Sayaka's debut as a Mahou Shoujo, a new one, who seems much more "wild" have arrived in the city. The next episode might most probably focus on the new Mahou Shoujo and further delays Madoka in becoming one...
