What I find really cool about the quintet's transformations is that they all use their witches' motifs. Mami/Candeloro the *dress up* witch incorporates paper dolls. Kyouko/Ophelia the *wudan* witch has her followers who seem to have flames for heads. Sayaka/Octavia the *mermaid* witch has her sirens and water themes. Homura/Homulily the *nutcracker* witch is shown doing ballet. Madoka/Kriemhild Gretchen the *salvation* witch has her space motifs. There's also hints of Ultimate Madoka with her sigil and the girls she will rescue when the time comes.
AdorableChou YOOO SPEAKING OF THAT In madoka’s at the end when they zoom into young madoka, what pose is she doing?? THE EXACT SAME ONE GRETCHEN DOES, REACHING TO THE SKY FOR SALVATION, wHICH ENDS UP BEING HERSELF/ULTIMATE MADOKA
I enjoy the fact that each transformation tells the story of their wish. Mami's is about her all grown up and living her life but then magic forces her to be a magical girl. Kyoko's is about people now praising her out of faith but then when magic is revealed, she is burned like a witch. Homura's is all about rewinding but with each rewind she slowly falls out of synch and is trapped. Madoka is there with all the magical girls looking for them and rises above it all. Sayaka just keeps falling deeper and deeper as her friends try to deal with her.
Sayaka's actually has symbolism in it. Mami is the first magical girl to meet her and convinces her to become a magical girl. Then Mami throws her to Madoka, probably symbolizing when she dies, Madoka is the one who takes care of Sayaka until Kyouko arrives. Madoka then throws Sayaka on the bed, symbolizing how Sayaka goes to Madoka for comfort. Then Homura scoops her up and throws her like a trash bag, symbolizing how she and Sayaka didn't get along well. Kyouko then catches her and gives her the hairclip, symbolizing how Kyouko comes as a rival to friend quickly. If you don't know already, the hairclip symbol is a symbol is music than means very loud. I hope this clears up the symbolism.
@@lizaster Sorry for being a bit late, but there is something I need to correct you on. Her hair clip is a fortissimo sign (or FF) and it means to play the music very loud, not very fast.
Its funny to think that despite the anime being about Madoka, Sayaka's transformation perfectly reminds everyone that the actual journey we saw of a rookie magical girl learning how to fight, learning the dark truth and eventually falling victim was all Sayaka. For someone introduced as 'the best friend character', she had such a leading role which makes me happy to see symbolised in her transformation.
I think that Homura loop also give Sayaka the same karmic stuff like Madoka (except not enough to make her as strong) which in turn make QB want to contract her too
I think that the series revolves around Madoka but is actually about Homura. Every event is pretty much done due to Homura's interference in the lives of everyone else and the series essentially follows the journey Homura makes to meet her ultimate goal, which is Madoka. No doubt that Sayaka is the most important side character though. The rise and fall of Sayaka Miki represents the truth to what a Magical Girl really is. Her story opens Madoka's eyes to the cruel reality of magical girls and gave her the idea to create a wish which ultimate led to her becoming a God. Meanwhile, Sayaka is also a reminder of the future Homura is desperately trying to avoid as well as a reminder of the fate she will endure if she were to ever give up on her wish.
I just realized how brutal Kyoko's animation is. It's almost as if she's transitioning into a witch rather than a magical girl. But you can maybe also think of it as 'burning the past away'. Sayaka's animation is very lovely. During her transformation she's supported by all her friends who carry her through her duties.
Mami’s sequence is a good match for her. The world of fashion and glamour can seem like a dream come true for those of us who aren’t a part of it, but it’s deeper and darker than we realize. It’s hard work. It’s cutthroat competition and endless rivalry. It’s stress. It’s moments of self doubt and nights without sleep, it’s a life in the spotlight, and all the lack of privacy that that entails. It’s...well...WORK. It’s funny, and fitting, that Mami, who herself has this veneer of glamour and elegance and beauty about her, has her sequence matching up with the world of fashion and modeling. Both are deceptively beautiful and alluring, and both are much deeper and darker than first glance. Because as a magical girl, she doesn’t live the life of a celebrity - she lives the life of a soldier.
@@eddievillegas4825 WUT? yachiyo the actual model literally acts like a platoon leader same with kanagi, did you even play the game? i suppose the anime changed her personality like a lot
Fun fact! The PSP game has Mami become an idol in the bonus route, a successful one at that, and she's quite happy with herself (she still occasionally takes part in witch hunts when she has the time). That way, she stops feeling alone thanks to her fans' adoration
@@devilsora100 yeah, but it's also part of the bonus route in which Homura, in an attempt to make every girl more emotionally stable, ended up leaving them all underleveled against Walpurgisnacht and seeing how it wasn't worth it, she just... resets time and LEAVES all the girls to their fate as they were saying how Homura united them lmao
They look so older before they fully transform, like Mami looking actually older in her fashion bit before she curls up her hair, Kyoko being significantly taller before she grabs her soulgem, Sayaka having long hair before being washed away in the water, glimpses of Homura in Moemura's transformation and if you pause at the 2:01 mark where Madoka begins transforming, you see her hair really long, not Godoka long but still long while a bright light absorbs her. Symbolizes them throwing away their possible maturity and aging for temporary power since they all died/erased from existence/becomes the devil at the end??
It’s interesting that you can actually catch a glimpse of how each of the girls could look like when they’re older. Mami in her dress-up photoshoots and "tapping" her Soul Gem. Kyoko as she slowly descends the stairs. Sayaka as she is stopped by Kyoko and briefly basking at the end. Homura's apparently looking the same, but her grown-up self just doesn't have the braided tails. Madoka as she watches her elder self fall to her, even reflected in her eyes. Although for they to transform back into their younger magical selves makes you think their grown up life had to be part of their sacrifice with the contract...
I think homura looks the same since she keeps time travelling back to save madoka meaning shes conscious about the time passing unlike the others but due to the time loops she is never gonna get a older body
The way I see everything here... Warning, spoilers ahead: Mami's transformation is the one I find most elegant. She looks beautiful with long hair, and in her transformation she looks really mature- She's also the main veteran fighter amongst the magical girls, and we see the real power behind her in Rebellion when she engages in battle with Homura. Then as for Kyoko, she matures more too. In the series she's kind of rash and seems confident all the time and usually has that little smirk of hers whenever taunting Sayaka or Kyuubey. In her transformation however, we see glimpses of her past and how she came to be. As she starts burning, we can see that she is taller than usual before she grasps her soul gem and her transformation is complete. Instead of a smirk like her other transformations in the series, we see her bearing a serious expression, showing how much she's changed throughout the story upon meeting Sayaka and becoming a magical girl. Then there's Sayaka- I love her transformation scene. Everyone is just kind of throwing her around and pushing her everywhere. Homura though- She looks like she's having some fun there. However, I think that the other girls throwing her around is very symbolic. It makes her transformation my personal favourite. Here's an incoming long theory why. Mami helped give her the push into the magical girl world and she adopted the idea of making the world a better place from her. Madoka hugs her before throwing her off. Madoka shows a great amount of care for Sayaka as she is her good friend. Then Sayaka is absorbed into a bed and Homura is seen tossing her around in a white sheet that becomes her cape later on. In Rebellion, Sayaka plays a big part in defeating the "nightmares" that Hitomi has about Kyosuke. Thus explaining the bed. When she gets absorbed by it, I see it as her becoming a part of the fake reality that in Rebllion from Homulily's labyrinth. Homura is then tossing her around- Homulily is Homura's witch form. Homura created the fake reality which has Sayaka enveloped inside it. That's why she's tossing her around. When she is released, she crashes into Kyoko who just gently pats her. Finally, Sayaka starts moving on her own as Kyoko touches her. Sayaka believes she is all alone after losing Kyosuke to one of her good friends Hitomi, and it's how she became Oktavia. In her final death scene, Kyoko kills her along with herself so that Sayaka won't be alone in death since she knows the pain of being alone due to her losing her family. In Rebellion, she and Sayaka become closer, and they're not longer alone because they have each other. Sayaka becomes more independent because of Kyoko now that she knows that she won't be by herself for sure. In Rebellion, she noticeably matures, explaining her longer hair. Then her transformation is complete. Then for Homura- my second favourite transformation and my favourite character. Homura is seen spinning around aimlessly, and in the series she keeps travelling through an endless loop of time to save Madoka knowing she cannot be saved. She spins around in the same time with a goal that she cannot obtain. She is surrounded by papers, showing how much time, research, and effort she has put into trying to save Madoka. Then we see Madoka herself. She is surrounded by other magical girls, symbolizing how all of their fates are up to her when she becomes Madokami. Then we see the shot of Homura- Madoka made her choice of becoming a goddess because of Homura opening her eyes to the fact that magical girls are destined to suffer. Madoka then reaches towards Madokami. She is accepting that she is taking a new role on herself as someone who decides fate and she cannot return from this decision- until Homura changes that in Rebellion of course. Perhaps I'm over analyzing this but...I think it's very symbolic and that each transformation is very detailed.
Actually...you are very good at anlizying things at a better angle that I do.I only analyze certain parts that would be missed out by most people,and serves for symbolism,and can understand the meaning of lyrics of a song once I figure out the source of where they came from.Other than that,you did good,dude!
Actually, in their magical girl transformations you can see them as adults: Mami- The scene where she is dressing up and posing Kyoko- When she walks down the stairs Sayaka- kinda obvious (when she is getting thrown around) Homura- When a is stepping on paper and you can see her wearing glasses with her hair down Madoka- When their are two madokas, and the goddess looking one (above her) is actually her adult side and hen it's getting to the end you can see her in her magical girl suit with long hair and you .ca probably notice she is a bit bigger than before
Their transformations and its representations! Mami: Fashion star Kyoko: Very symbolic to her story and her in general. Sayaka: Symbolic to her growth! Homura: The existenxe of her two sides being one. The reference of how she can manipulate time. (the one with braids and glasses and the one who swears to protect Madoka) Madoka: Symbolic as heck too tbh. If anyone actually want a proper written post then just leave a reply cos I'm too lazy to do it otherwise
HELP Perhaps not. The symbolism is more linked to their witch forms and backgrounds: Mami : Representation of the PSP story where she becomes a fashion model, however more linked to how her witch is called Candeloro and is referred to as the dress up witch. Kyoko: Her life of luxury and self-care symbolised by the game at the start, later referring to her wish and the whole worship side. Her little sister blows a flame to show how the wish destroyed her whole family and links to Kyoko’s witch Ophelia and the illusion magic she posses (plus the form of the witch as a candle flame.) Sayaka: Her relationships and how she feels towards all the other girls, Mami and Madoka transforming her to her basic attire as they are her mentors in some timeline, Homura shaking her as they have a rocky relationship and Kyoko stopping and saving her. The water, music and mermaids at the start obviously refer to Oktavia her witch form who is a composer and mermaid. Homura: Refers to her timelines and how many times she has repeated, the leaflets of the Magia Record main characters show the investigation into how Kamihara can release and save magical girls and the rumours around it, and then just referring to her witch Homulily and how she is destined to repeat time and rewind her funeral procession, linking to her time magic and the plant within the orb, always withering back to its seed state. Madoka: Representation of her many timeline selves and how she is trapped in a repeating fate alongside her witch Grimhield as she catches Iroha and shows salvation towards the other girls. The stirring rod represents how Madoka’s fate isn’t in her own hands and she continues to manipulated by the timelines and shoved around in a whirlwind of fate.
Unbreakable Connection wait what kamihara city “can release and save magical girls” so you mean that the city can basically turn them normal again and release their soul out of the soul gem. sorry for asking this. i can’t play the game bc i don’t understand japanese
tsuyu asui Ahh! Basically the phrase is shrouded in mystery and is used by the Antagonists of the game. They believe they can save magical girls by RELEASING them from their fate. In the game, Kamihara city has a weird phenomenon which allows Magical Girls to summon their witches in the form of a doppel. A doppel occurs when a magical girl’s soul gem becomes fully tainted, and instead of turning into a witch, they summon a witch to deliver a powerful attack, their soul gem is then purified much like a grief seed would purify their gem and in turn the magical girl is saved.
I've noticed in their transformations is that they have aged noticably: mami looked more mature and had longer hair... Kyouko became alittle taller... Sayaka looked matured, taller and had longer hair, idk about homura and madoka
Yea- everyone's had either longer or unadorned hair at some point! ^o^ Mami's turned from waist-length back to chest-length just before she snapped her curls into place; Homura and Kyoko had their hair down at some point before gaining braids and hair ties respectively; Madoka's and Sayaka's were the most obvious since they had short hair pre and post-transformation!
UNLIMITED WEAB WORKS aaa isee in 1:35 homuras hair was a little more thick and her chest is increased in size a bit... And madokas aged version is the one who was appeared falling to her and in 2:00 its her with longer hair..
Sayahasesse hillhill I don’t why but what if it’s a hint that in the next movie /series they’ll be older ? And In homu case before she gets her braids she seems way matured and her Chest is bigger then she turns into a kid again and in madoka case , it’s seems before her transformation she’s way more taller and her hair is longer and then she shortened. I don’t know but I feel all this is connected somehow!
SilenceGlaiveMaster look closely on 1:32 Homura's hair is thicker and the streak of hair on the side of her face is longer and her chest is a little bigger though it looked like nothing changed
Metamorphosis you want to see Puella Magi Healin' Good Magica game that has these transformations but Miki Kaoru and the purple girls are included huh?
Sayaka: "It's no fair! You guys have long hair, so you can tie it up! What am I supposed to do?" Kyouko: "You're a magical girl. Just magic it longer during your transformation. Duh." Sayaka: "...Oh. OTL Atashi -tte, hontou baka..."
..... does sayaka's transformation symbolise how she's being dragged around people who she thinks are better than her (hence why she's the only one not moving at first) and kyoko's being the one who made her move... is it just an alternate end to when kyoko couldn't bring sayaka back then, and the little mermaids at the beggining..... fuck
I think it's more like during that month and a half that was the original series, it was as if life was tossing her around with so many events and revelations and tragedies.
Homura's part is very unique in Sayaka's transformation. She's the only one that doesn't get a close up, never shows her face, and doesn't touch Sayaka at all.
@@bukanbukan777 homura doesn't not like her it's just that no matter what sayaka became a witch every single timeline so eventually homura gave up on her like she did with mami and kyoko
Oh wow, I just realized something: in Madoka's transformation, during that blink-and-you'll-miss-it sequence with Homura (slow the video all the way down then pause at around 1:50), the window Homura is looking out of is the same window that was shown tied shut during the stinger in Rebellion! (Another fun blink-and-you'll-miss-it moment: just before the same sequence, all the Magia Record girls look upwards.)
I agree. Maybe it's because transformations are often focused on clothes changing while the wearer dances or does some movements, and no one else being present.
But it makes sense for her. She threw herself into being a Magical Girl, and everyone around her just influenced her decision. Kyoko was the only one who made her stop and think about what she was doing by the end of her arc.
Kyoko's made me sad, but when she started burning up I cried like a baby. Her dad, when he figured out she was a magical girl, called her a witch (they used to burn witches at the stake), it could symbolize that she constantly lives with the guilt of her family's death and thinks of herself as a curse or a witch because of it..
didn't her dad freak out that it was her wish that allowed him to gain a huge following and killed her family? i don't think he ever called her a witch i thought he killed everyone then himself
I love how each of there transformation shows something important about each of the characters and their role in the show Mami: Dolls and Fashion models represent her being the Ideal magical girl. The girl everyone wants to be. Kyoko: It's starts out cute and silly but it slowly delves into her tragic back story showing her as one of the more deeper characters just trying to keep her head up and be cheerful. Sayaka: This transformation features the other Magi's. Her friend. In all Puella Magi media Sayaka is constantly shown to be the character who care deeply about all of her friend. This often gets her into trouble, hense them tossing re around. Also, music notes. Homura: This one, has a million Homura's doing the same dance, thus showing her doing the same things over and over again for Madoka: This shows atone of different Puella magi. This shows her being their goddess and being in charge of using her powers to watch over all of them. It also ends with her flying in the sky for the same reason. I love this anime and it's surreal symbolism.
@@ericaraluca9119 homura did nothing *wrong*, and it's not like she has nothing special but digging through her character makes it better to realize she probably *has* somethin special that you didn't realize or whatever it is
I like that Madoka's transformation has the rainbow color changing in the background, since rainbows are symbolic of hope and happiness (which is what she wanted magical girls to have when she wished to erase witches in Puella Magi Madoka Magica's main storyline) I also like the throwbacks some of the transformations have to major things in the main anime (multiple images of Madoka in her magical girl in her transformation, referencing how many times Homura tried to save her in the main anime before she made her final wish to become Ultimate Madoka, and a figurine blowing at Kyoko's soul gem in her transformation, which reminds me of the fact that in the main anime she kissed her soul gem right before sacrificing herself to defeat Octavia)
I'm just gonna make this comment again here because I almost ended up arguing with someone with what I said.... Just seeing a brief glimpse of the older version of the girls is a deep reminder of the future that's been robbed of them by Kyubey. Because he played with their emotions, actively chose not to disclose the fact that they'll inevitably become witches, knew which age group to target. They are destined to suffer from their fate because of him. Hear me out. If you argue that it wasn't Kyubey's fault, chose not to disclose that part because they didn't ask, and that he doesn't have emotions to understand, he has observed long enough and knows what to say to get a girl to agree in becoming a magical girl. It's already evident that Madoka and the others aren't the first to agree in becoming one in exchange of their wish to come true. Look at the end of one of the timelines Homura witnessed. Kyubey knew what to say to Madoka as they watched Homura was lose the one fight that could have ended the need to loop time. He used the situation to his advantage. Same with every single girl that's come in contact with the little fucker. Sayaka would never have become a magical girl if he hadn't told her that he can grant one wish in exchange for her eternal service! Kyubey doesn't care what happens to the girls. What matters is that they get their job done while they observe and experiment
My top: 1 Akemi ⌛ 2 Mami ☕ 3 Kyoko 🔥 4 Sayaka 🌊 5 Madoka 🌸 Out the holy five: 1 Nagisa 🍬 2 The holy five ⌛☕🔥🌊🌸 including the special ones (Godoka,Beach Girls,God Mami 💐🏖️🏔️) 3 The rest 🌲🔥💧✨✴️
Now that I see their adult forms I can only wonder how miserable their lives may be... BC one of the witches in the anime/game, the birdcage witch, her soul gem became a grief seed when she was in her 20s-30s... Also might I add Homura's looks most like a laoding screen
OK I like how 3 outta the 4 look like they matured, even a bit, in their time however homura seems to be exactly as her character is laid out: forever stuck in the time of mistrust, anger, lies, and immaturity.
Very very very nice compilation! Buuut I think Mami's, Kyoko's, and Homura's transformation would sound WAY better if you pause a beat or two on their respective "touch the screen" part. I know Sayaka has one too but Sayaka's is the opposite and the music flows better without pause, just like in this video right now. Madoka doesn't have a touch screen pause though, so she's cool. Maybe reupload this with the pause if you have the time? I'd be so happy if you do.
I love the references to their witches Mami: paper dolls changing clothes because Candeloro is the dress-up witch. Kyoko: the flaming people in kimonos are a reference to Zoe, the familiars of Ophelia, the wudan witch. Sayaka: has the underwater motifs and musical notes of Oktavia, the mermaid witch. Homura: Has her dancing ballet and her soul gem breaking, a reference to Homulilly, the nutcracker witch. Madoka: She reaches up to the sky in the same way Kriemhild Gretchen, the salvation witch does. Ultimate Madoka: She approaches and embraces Earth in a gigantic size, just like Ultimate Kriemhild Gretchen in the last episode of the original series.
I noticed that Homura's scene has this bit where it looks like a streaming video buffering ring. That's both really clever and so hilarious I laughed out loud.
I think all of these transformations are pretty solid. Kyoko's is my favourite - after all she is my favourite character - and there are just SO many aspects of her transformation that I love! (The arcade with the dancing Yuma's, the fact that she looking STUNNING in her black dress, her little sister, the music, the fire, the effects with the hands. All of it was cool) I think I like Homura's next, purely because it's so atmospheric and the music is beautiful. The use of the split screen is smart and intriguing, and just love the over all "mysterious" feel to it. Lots of symbolism too which is awesome. Madoka's just gets me emotional every time. It's symbolic, visually stunning and moving. And she looks adorable when reaching out to her Goddess self. I think I like Mami's next. The fashion part is cute, but it kinda threw me off. However, I love the second part of her transformation. She looks GORGEOUS and so mature!! It brought a tear to my eye to see her looking older. Lastly, Sayaka (which also fits because she is my least favourite). I don't mind her transformation. The girls joining in to make small cameos was surprising and quite cute (And Homura was freaking hilarious). The only part I really love about hers is her LONG HAIR. My does she look pretty! And that's about it.
I'm just constantly worried that all their transformations show them, briefly, as adults in this life before those are rejected and we're brought back to "current" them. Whaddya wanna bet those older snapshots are how old they'd all be in a proper timeline where they haven't been stuck in a month-long time loop for years? It's subtle and chilling.
So, i noticed just now after watching this like A LOT. If you see the end of each transformation, you can see everyone is smiling. EXCEPT my favorite character, Kyouko. She's also have her face is like covered in shadow because the fire behind her when she's facing the screen. And everyone else has their face is look bright while facing the screen. Am i the only one thingking this is might be have a connection to the next movie or the game or it's just a concidence??
I really like that all of their mature forms are replaced with them as magical girls, since a magical girl's body doesn't age after the contract has been formed (or at least thats how i remember it)
Well, as some of you guys already noticed, those Rune characters in each of the first scene surreptitiously change the spelling of PMMM. Instead, it actually means 'PUELLA MAGI MADOK☆MAGICA.' They omitted the letter 'A' everytime, but I don't think this is just a mistake. In fact, Shaft initially asked just the normal logo of PMMM for their new transformation videos, but those eventually were changed, missing the letter 'A.' This is because Gekidan Inu Curry suggested to make them in this way, I guess. Fans from some forums are arguing that this must be another symbol of twists and turns in Magia Record which we don't figure out yet, but on the other hand, many are thinking that it also could be a humble signal saying "Take it easy guys; this story is irrelevant to PMMM TV Show and Rebellion. It's just PMMM-like bittersweet story. Don't take this too seriously!"
I really enjoy how in their transformations it shows an older version of themselves. The version of them that they were robbed of by the Incubators.

Sayaka's actually has symbolism in it. Mami is the first magical girl to meet her and convinces her to become a magical girl. Then Mami throws her to Madoka, probably symbolizing when she dies, Madoka is the one who takes care of Sayaka until Kyouko arrives. Madoka then throws Sayaka on the bed, symbolizing how Sayaka goes to Madoka for comfort. Then Homura scoops her up and throws her like a trash bag, symbolizing how she and Sayaka didn't get along well. Kyouko then catches her and gives her the hairclip, symbolizing how Kyouko comes as a rival to friend quickly. If you don't know already, the hairclip symbol is a symbol is music than means very loud.
I hope this clears up the symbolism.

No doubt that Sayaka is the most important side character though. The rise and fall of Sayaka Miki represents the truth to what a Magical Girl really is. Her story opens Madoka's eyes to the cruel reality of magical girls and gave her the idea to create a wish which ultimate led to her becoming a God. Meanwhile, Sayaka is also a reminder of the future Homura is desperately trying to avoid as well as a reminder of the fate she will endure if she were to ever give up on her wish.

Mami’s sequence is a good match for her. The world of fashion and glamour can seem like a dream come true for those of us who aren’t a part of it, but it’s deeper and darker than we realize. It’s hard work. It’s cutthroat competition and endless rivalry. It’s stress. It’s moments of self doubt and nights without sleep, it’s a life in the spotlight, and all the lack of privacy that that entails. It’s...well...WORK.
It’s funny, and fitting, that Mami, who herself has this veneer of glamour and elegance and beauty about her, has her sequence matching up with the world of fashion and modeling. Both are deceptively beautiful and alluring, and both are much deeper and darker than first glance. Because as a magical girl, she doesn’t live the life of a celebrity - she lives the life of a soldier.
We have a model in the Magia Record cast and we didn't get anywhere in what you described...
Somehow I feel cheated now
It's also a nice nod to her Witch form, Candeloro, which we only see in side stories and in the PSP games.
@@eddievillegas4825 WUT? yachiyo the actual model literally acts like a platoon leader same with kanagi, did you even play the game?
i suppose the anime changed her personality like a lot
Fun fact! The PSP game has Mami become an idol in the bonus route, a successful one at that, and she's quite happy with herself (she still occasionally takes part in witch hunts when she has the time). That way, she stops feeling alone thanks to her fans' adoration
@@devilsora100 yeah, but it's also part of the bonus route in which Homura, in an attempt to make every girl more emotionally stable, ended up leaving them all underleveled against Walpurgisnacht and seeing how it wasn't worth it, she just... resets time and LEAVES all the girls to their fate as they were saying how Homura united them lmao
They look so older before they fully transform, like Mami looking actually older in her fashion bit before she curls up her hair, Kyoko being significantly taller before she grabs her soulgem, Sayaka having long hair before being washed away in the water, glimpses of Homura in Moemura's transformation and if you pause at the 2:01 mark where Madoka begins transforming, you see her hair really long, not Godoka long but still long while a bright light absorbs her.
Symbolizes them throwing away their possible maturity and aging for temporary power since they all died/erased from existence/becomes the devil at the end??
Martin Torrecampo+ Just because Homura looks like moe Homura doesn’t mean she got older
I just realized that the girls probably look older because they are and that when they transform they look the same as when they made their wish
nice catch, i didnt even realized the 2:01
@@r.r815 it's take place after the First engagement of these 4 and madoka won the wish though
1.57 here, too.
It’s interesting that you can actually catch a glimpse of how each of the girls could look like when they’re older.
Mami in her dress-up photoshoots and "tapping" her Soul Gem. Kyoko as she slowly descends the stairs. Sayaka as she is stopped by Kyoko and briefly basking at the end. Homura's apparently looking the same, but her grown-up self just doesn't have the braided tails. Madoka as she watches her elder self fall to her, even reflected in her eyes.
Although for they to transform back into their younger magical selves makes you think their grown up life had to be part of their sacrifice with the contract...
I think homura looks the same since she keeps time travelling back to save madoka meaning shes conscious about the time passing unlike the others but due to the time loops she is never gonna get a older body
Mami: Instagram Star
Homura: Professional Detective
Kyoko: References Everywhere to the Main seríe & Oriko Magica
Jose Alfredo De La Cruz González
Sayaka: This bitch empty! YEET!
Jose Alfredo De La Cruz González
Madoka: References everywhere
whats the references to oriko?
@@mikotoh 0:28 Look at the pixelated Yuma
Homura is more like a professional ballet dancer
The way I see everything here...
Warning, spoilers ahead:
Mami's transformation is the one I find most elegant. She looks beautiful with long hair, and in her transformation she looks really mature- She's also the main veteran fighter amongst the magical girls, and we see the real power behind her in Rebellion when she engages in battle with Homura.
Then as for Kyoko, she matures more too. In the series she's kind of rash and seems confident all the time and usually has that little smirk of hers whenever taunting Sayaka or Kyuubey. In her transformation however, we see glimpses of her past and how she came to be. As she starts burning, we can see that she is taller than usual before she grasps her soul gem and her transformation is complete. Instead of a smirk like her other transformations in the series, we see her bearing a serious expression, showing how much she's changed throughout the story upon meeting Sayaka and becoming a magical girl.
Then there's Sayaka- I love her transformation scene. Everyone is just kind of throwing her around and pushing her everywhere. Homura though- She looks like she's having some fun there. However, I think that the other girls throwing her around is very symbolic. It makes her transformation my personal favourite. Here's an incoming long theory why. Mami helped give her the push into the magical girl world and she adopted the idea of making the world a better place from her. Madoka hugs her before throwing her off. Madoka shows a great amount of care for Sayaka as she is her good friend. Then Sayaka is absorbed into a bed and Homura is seen tossing her around in a white sheet that becomes her cape later on. In Rebellion, Sayaka plays a big part in defeating the "nightmares" that Hitomi has about Kyosuke. Thus explaining the bed. When she gets absorbed by it, I see it as her becoming a part of the fake reality that in Rebllion from Homulily's labyrinth. Homura is then tossing her around- Homulily is Homura's witch form. Homura created the fake reality which has Sayaka enveloped inside it. That's why she's tossing her around. When she is released, she crashes into Kyoko who just gently pats her. Finally, Sayaka starts moving on her own as Kyoko touches her. Sayaka believes she is all alone after losing Kyosuke to one of her good friends Hitomi, and it's how she became Oktavia. In her final death scene, Kyoko kills her along with herself so that Sayaka won't be alone in death since she knows the pain of being alone due to her losing her family. In Rebellion, she and Sayaka become closer, and they're not longer alone because they have each other. Sayaka becomes more independent because of Kyoko now that she knows that she won't be by herself for sure. In Rebellion, she noticeably matures, explaining her longer hair. Then her transformation is complete.
Then for Homura- my second favourite transformation and my favourite character. Homura is seen spinning around aimlessly, and in the series she keeps travelling through an endless loop of time to save Madoka knowing she cannot be saved. She spins around in the same time with a goal that she cannot obtain. She is surrounded by papers, showing how much time, research, and effort she has put into trying to save Madoka.
Then we see Madoka herself. She is surrounded by other magical girls, symbolizing how all of their fates are up to her when she becomes Madokami. Then we see the shot of Homura- Madoka made her choice of becoming a goddess because of Homura opening her eyes to the fact that magical girls are destined to suffer. Madoka then reaches towards Madokami. She is accepting that she is taking a new role on herself as someone who decides fate and she cannot return from this decision- until Homura changes that in Rebellion of course.
Perhaps I'm over analyzing this but...I think it's very symbolic and that each transformation is very detailed.
Alika Khun+ The paper around Homura are pictures of the new magical girls
Alika Khun help me at 1:50 on the left side there is homura’s future soul gem when sie become a demon it shouldn’t be there
Foreshadowing much,I guess?I didn't see that important detail until now...since you said it,dude...
Also,that was Kagari PRETENDING to be Homura,not the REAL ONE.
Actually...you are very good at anlizying things at a better angle that I do.I only analyze certain parts that would be missed out by most people,and serves for symbolism,and can understand the meaning of lyrics of a song once I figure out the source of where they came from.Other than that,you did good,dude!
Actually, in their magical girl transformations you can see them as adults:
Mami- The scene where she is dressing up and posing
Kyoko- When she walks down the stairs
Sayaka- kinda obvious (when she is getting thrown around)
Homura- When a is stepping on paper and you can see her wearing glasses with her hair down
Madoka- When their are two madokas, and the goddess looking one (above her) is actually her adult side and hen it's getting to the end you can see her in her magical girl suit with long hair and you .ca probably notice she is a bit bigger than before
Homura doesn't change

Thanks 😅?
Their transformations and its representations!
Mami: Fashion star
Kyoko: Very symbolic to her story and her in general.
Sayaka: Symbolic to her growth!
Homura: The existenxe of her two sides being one. The reference of how she can manipulate time. (the one with braids and glasses and the one who swears to protect Madoka)
Madoka: Symbolic as heck too tbh.
If anyone actually want a proper written post then just leave a reply cos I'm too lazy to do it otherwise
Give us a proper post!♥
You called Kyoko Sayaka, wth
HELP Perhaps not. The symbolism is more linked to their witch forms and backgrounds:
Mami : Representation of the PSP story where she becomes a fashion model, however more linked to how her witch is called Candeloro and is referred to as the dress up witch.
Kyoko: Her life of luxury and self-care symbolised by the game at the start, later referring to her wish and the whole worship side. Her little sister blows a flame to show how the wish destroyed her whole family and links to Kyoko’s witch Ophelia and the illusion magic she posses (plus the form of the witch as a candle flame.)
Sayaka: Her relationships and how she feels towards all the other girls, Mami and Madoka transforming her to her basic attire as they are her mentors in some timeline, Homura shaking her as they have a rocky relationship and Kyoko stopping and saving her. The water, music and mermaids at the start obviously refer to Oktavia her witch form who is a composer and mermaid.
Homura: Refers to her timelines and how many times she has repeated, the leaflets of the Magia Record main characters show the investigation into how Kamihara can release and save magical girls and the rumours around it, and then just referring to her witch Homulily and how she is destined to repeat time and rewind her funeral procession, linking to her time magic and the plant within the orb, always withering back to its seed state.
Madoka: Representation of her many timeline selves and how she is trapped in a repeating fate alongside her witch Grimhield as she catches Iroha and shows salvation towards the other girls. The stirring rod represents how Madoka’s fate isn’t in her own hands and she continues to manipulated by the timelines and shoved around in a whirlwind of fate.
Unbreakable Connection wait what kamihara city “can release and save magical girls” so you mean that the city can basically turn them normal again and release their soul out of the soul gem. sorry for asking this. i can’t play the game bc i don’t understand japanese
tsuyu asui Ahh! Basically the phrase is shrouded in mystery and is used by the Antagonists of the game. They believe they can save magical girls by RELEASING them from their fate. In the game, Kamihara city has a weird phenomenon which allows Magical Girls to summon their witches in the form of a doppel. A doppel occurs when a magical girl’s soul gem becomes fully tainted, and instead of turning into a witch, they summon a witch to deliver a powerful attack, their soul gem is then purified much like a grief seed would purify their gem and in turn the magical girl is saved.
I've noticed in their transformations is that they have aged noticably: mami looked more mature and had longer hair...
Kyouko became alittle taller...
Sayaka looked matured, taller and had longer hair, idk about homura and madoka
Yea- everyone's had either longer or unadorned hair at some point! ^o^
Mami's turned from waist-length back to chest-length just before she snapped her curls into place; Homura and Kyoko had their hair down at some point before gaining braids and hair ties respectively; Madoka's and Sayaka's were the most obvious since they had short hair pre and post-transformation!
UNLIMITED WEAB WORKS aaa isee in 1:35 homuras hair was a little more thick and her chest is increased in size a bit... And madokas aged version is the one who was appeared falling to her and in 2:00 its her with longer hair..
Sayahasesse hillhill I don’t why but what if it’s a hint that in the next movie /series they’ll be older ? And In homu case before she gets her braids she seems way matured and her Chest is bigger then she turns into a kid again and in madoka case , it’s seems before her transformation she’s way more taller and her hair is longer and then she shortened. I don’t know but I feel all this is connected somehow!
Homura really hasn’t aged you just see her second form and Madoka’s adult form is near the end
SilenceGlaiveMaster look closely on 1:32 Homura's hair is thicker and the streak of hair on the side of her face is longer and her chest is a little bigger though it looked like nothing changed
Hard to tell which one is better for me. Loved all of them!
Cure Amour :)
Metamorphosis yes
Metamorphosis Does this Remind you of Hugtoo Precure
Metamorphosis you want to see Puella Magi Healin' Good Magica game that has these transformations but Miki Kaoru and the purple girls are included huh?
My favourite is Sayaka's cause honestly it was fun to throw her
I love how in every single one of Homuras transformations throughout the series, the animators just pack it full of symbolism.
I like how the Holy quintet has the most animation in the transformation, probably because they're the most popular
地味に変身順が叛逆と一緒で、凝ってるな…とおもいました(小並感)
Mami's transformation is a dress up game.
Mami's witch, Candeloro, is the Dress Up Witch.
_hmm..._
Also Kyoko's transformation having a paper doll Momo just... T_T
Sayaka: "It's no fair! You guys have long hair, so you can tie it up! What am I supposed to do?"
Kyouko: "You're a magical girl. Just magic it longer during your transformation. Duh."
Sayaka: "...Oh. OTL
Atashi -tte, hontou baka..."
Stupid is the only thing i undstood
This is the only context in wich that final line could be used as comedy
You spelled "Witch" wrong. =D
And she end up cut itu short again-v-
Instant Witch
The music in Mami's transformation slaps hard.
Ikr
Yea matches well with her transformation
Do you know what's the title of that music?
..... does sayaka's transformation symbolise how she's being dragged around people who she thinks are better than her (hence why she's the only one not moving at first) and kyoko's being the one who made her move... is it just an alternate end to when kyoko couldn't bring sayaka back then, and the little mermaids at the beggining..... fuck
oh and she's not moving because she's dead inside..... heheh
I think it's more like during that month and a half that was the original series, it was as if life was tossing her around with so many events and revelations and tragedies.
yeah i thought of that too, hey maybe it symbolise both it's madoka, the ultimate clusterfuck of symbols
They are cherring her up godammit why dont everyone get it
I don't think Madoka ever thought she was better then her.
Homura's part is very unique in Sayaka's transformation. She's the only one that doesn't get a close up, never shows her face, and doesn't touch Sayaka at all.
Homura dislikes Sayaka...
@@bukanbukan777 homura doesn't not like her it's just that no matter what sayaka became a witch every single timeline so eventually homura gave up on her like she did with mami and kyoko
She's just having a BLAST
Oh wow, I just realized something: in Madoka's transformation, during that blink-and-you'll-miss-it sequence with Homura (slow the video all the way down then pause at around 1:50), the window Homura is looking out of is the same window that was shown tied shut during the stinger in Rebellion!
(Another fun blink-and-you'll-miss-it moment: just before the same sequence, all the Magia Record girls look upwards.)
Sayaka's transformation is by far the weirdest transformation I've ever seen.
Ikine "this bitch empty, YEET"
I agree.
Maybe it's because transformations are often focused on clothes changing while the wearer dances or does some movements, and no one else being present.
But it makes sense for her. She threw herself into being a Magical Girl, and everyone around her just influenced her decision. Kyoko was the only one who made her stop and think about what she was doing by the end of her arc.
@@theartigeek she technically is empty

I really love that song in Mami's transformation, though, Sayaka had my favorite scene.
My favorites are Sayaka's and Homura's transformations. So cool!
一瞬見えるマミさんの髪下ろしてるのがめっちゃ可愛い
Kyoko's made me sad, but when she started burning up I cried like a baby. Her dad, when he figured out she was a magical girl, called her a witch (they used to burn witches at the stake), it could symbolize that she constantly lives with the guilt of her family's death and thinks of herself as a curse or a witch because of it..
didn't her dad freak out that it was her wish that allowed him to gain a huge following and killed her family?
i don't think he ever called her a witch i thought he killed everyone then himself
@@NeostormXLMAX no he called her a witch. She stated it herself and said that she thought it was "funny."
I love how each of there transformation shows something important about each of the characters and their role in the show
Mami: Dolls and Fashion models represent her being the Ideal magical girl. The girl everyone wants to be.
Kyoko: It's starts out cute and silly but it slowly delves into her tragic back story showing her as one of the more deeper characters just trying to keep her head up and be cheerful.
Sayaka: This transformation features the other Magi's. Her friend. In all Puella Magi media Sayaka is constantly shown to be the character who care deeply about all of her friend. This often gets her into trouble, hense them tossing re around. Also, music notes.
Homura: This one, has a million Homura's doing the same dance, thus showing her doing the same things over and over again for Madoka: This shows atone of different Puella magi. This shows her being their goddess and being in charge of using her powers to watch over all of them. It also ends with her flying in the sky for the same reason.
I love this anime and it's surreal symbolism.
個人的に杏子の変身シーンが好き
I love the Kyoko and Mami ones,the music and scenes fits like gloves
Puella Magi Madoka Magica : Symbolism Record

All the transformations are great, but Kyoko's is down right amazing.
Homaru Akemi Don't be sad Akemi, your's is my second favorite.
Kyoko always gets the best ones in rebellion and in here it seems
Homura’s paper has double meaning, one is her theories on witches, her calculations etc
But it’s also a pun of rewriting time
Madoka has the best transformation cause of the symbolism

I like that Madoka's transformation has the rainbow color changing in the background, since rainbows are symbolic of hope and happiness (which is what she wanted magical girls to have when she wished to erase witches in Puella Magi Madoka Magica's main storyline)
I also like the throwbacks some of the transformations have to major things in the main anime (multiple images of Madoka in her magical girl in her transformation, referencing how many times Homura tried to save her in the main anime before she made her final wish to become Ultimate Madoka, and a figurine blowing at Kyoko's soul gem in her transformation, which reminds me of the fact that in the main anime she kissed her soul gem right before sacrificing herself to defeat Octavia)
Homura looks great when older cause she is my best gal.
I got same glasses as her
Sayaka
マミさん·····髪結ばない方が絶対いい笑
I love how they are in the correct order!!! Madoka's the best imo, but Kyoko's amazing too.
I'm just gonna make this comment again here because I almost ended up arguing with someone with what I said....
Just seeing a brief glimpse of the older version of the girls is a deep reminder of the future that's been robbed of them by Kyubey. Because he played with their emotions, actively chose not to disclose the fact that they'll inevitably become witches, knew which age group to target. They are destined to suffer from their fate because of him. Hear me out. If you argue that it wasn't Kyubey's fault, chose not to disclose that part because they didn't ask, and that he doesn't have emotions to understand, he has observed long enough and knows what to say to get a girl to agree in becoming a magical girl. It's already evident that Madoka and the others aren't the first to agree in becoming one in exchange of their wish to come true. Look at the end of one of the timelines Homura witnessed. Kyubey knew what to say to Madoka as they watched Homura was lose the one fight that could have ended the need to loop time. He used the situation to his advantage. Same with every single girl that's come in contact with the little fucker. Sayaka would never have become a magical girl if he hadn't told her that he can grant one wish in exchange for her eternal service! Kyubey doesn't care what happens to the girls. What matters is that they get their job done while they observe and experiment

Can we all take a moment to appreciate how beautiful kyouko looks in that gown
Omg mami loos very good when she is older.
Sayaka good i love her long hair
Now that I see their adult forms I can only wonder how miserable their lives may be... BC one of the witches in the anime/game, the birdcage witch, her soul gem became a grief seed when she was in her 20s-30s... Also might I add Homura's looks most like a laoding screen
Mami is the best, i love her!
OK I like how 3 outta the 4 look like they matured, even a bit, in their time however homura seems to be exactly as her character is laid out: forever stuck in the time of mistrust, anger, lies, and immaturity.
I adore every single one, but Sayaka's has to be my favorite.
liked how everyone helps sayaka
even most of it was throwing her around like a rag doll lol
Very very very nice compilation! Buuut I think Mami's, Kyoko's, and Homura's transformation would sound WAY better if you pause a beat or two on their respective "touch the screen" part. I know Sayaka has one too but Sayaka's is the opposite and the music flows better without pause, just like in this video right now. Madoka doesn't have a touch screen pause though, so she's cool. Maybe reupload this with the pause if you have the time? I'd be so happy if you do.
The artstyle and aesthetic of this franchise uggghhhhh
I love Sayaka's her is so funny and lovely
I love the references to their witches
Mami: paper dolls changing clothes because Candeloro is the dress-up witch.
Kyoko: the flaming people in kimonos are a reference to Zoe, the familiars of Ophelia, the wudan witch.
Sayaka: has the underwater motifs and musical notes of Oktavia, the mermaid witch.
Homura: Has her dancing ballet and her soul gem breaking, a reference to Homulilly, the nutcracker witch.
Madoka: She reaches up to the sky in the same way Kriemhild Gretchen, the salvation witch does.
Ultimate Madoka: She approaches and embraces Earth in a gigantic size, just like Ultimate Kriemhild Gretchen in the last episode of the original series.
I just noticed that there’s little pixelated Yumas in Kyoko’s transformation
I noticed that Homura's scene has this bit where it looks like a streaming video buffering ring. That's both really clever and so hilarious I laughed out loud.
TBH, Mami's transformation is the best from the music to the story behind it...
If you look closely at madoka transformation in 2:00, you can see a reflection of her adult version in her eye. (the details always amazed me)
I think all of these transformations are pretty solid.
Kyoko's is my favourite - after all she is my favourite character - and there are just SO many aspects of her transformation that I love! (The arcade with the dancing Yuma's, the fact that she looking STUNNING in her black dress, her little sister, the music, the fire, the effects with the hands. All of it was cool)
I think I like Homura's next, purely because it's so atmospheric and the music is beautiful. The use of the split screen is smart and intriguing, and just love the over all "mysterious" feel to it. Lots of symbolism too which is awesome.
Madoka's just gets me emotional every time. It's symbolic, visually stunning and moving. And she looks adorable when reaching out to her Goddess self.
I think I like Mami's next. The fashion part is cute, but it kinda threw me off. However, I love the second part of her transformation. She looks GORGEOUS and so mature!! It brought a tear to my eye to see her looking older.
Lastly, Sayaka (which also fits because she is my least favourite). I don't mind her transformation. The girls joining in to make small cameos was surprising and quite cute (And Homura was freaking hilarious). The only part I really love about hers is her LONG HAIR. My does she look pretty!
And that's about it.
Kyoko is my favorite too xD
I'm just constantly worried that all their transformations show them, briefly, as adults in this life before those are rejected and we're brought back to "current" them. Whaddya wanna bet those older snapshots are how old they'd all be in a proper timeline where they haven't been stuck in a month-long time loop for years? It's subtle and chilling.
Try reverse Homura’s transformation and I just realized that the paper that flying around at the end is the magia record character profiles

SOMEONE WHO TOOK OUT THE "TOUCH THE SCREEN" PAUSES GOD BLESS YOUR SOUL
Well, as some of you guys already noticed, those Rune characters in each of the first scene surreptitiously change the spelling of PMMM. Instead, it actually means 'PUELLA MAGI MADOK☆MAGICA.' They omitted the letter 'A' everytime, but I don't think this is just a mistake.
In fact, Shaft initially asked just the normal logo of PMMM for their new transformation videos, but those eventually were changed, missing the letter 'A.' This is because Gekidan Inu Curry suggested to make them in this way, I guess.
Fans from some forums are arguing that this must be another symbol of twists and turns in Magia Record which we don't figure out yet, but on the other hand, many are thinking that it also could be a humble signal saying "Take it easy guys; this story is irrelevant to PMMM TV Show and Rebellion. It's just PMMM-like bittersweet story. Don't take this too seriously!"
