The prop "transformer" can be found in almost any magical girl-themed work. It is similar to the prop used in "Ultraman's transformation". It is a deeply rooted and established setting.
For example, in the relatively old and classic magical girl-themed work "Sailor Moon" on Earth, the protagonist Sailor Moon has a heart-shaped transformer. Her famous saying is "Destroy you on behalf of the moon." ".
Before "Puella Magi Madoka Magica", no creator had ever made such a subversive approach to the setting of this "transformer". It really shattered children's magical girl dreams. Drop it!
Anyway, many viewers were shocked by this setting when they saw this, saying that Lao Xu was really a villain and it ruined their childhood!
However, they couldn't stop watching it. The plot of this work became more and more exciting and fascinating!
It did not change the style of the first three chapters and follow the royal line as some people predicted. Instead, it adhered to the evil line and stayed evil to the end!
The truth about the "soul gem" was exposed. After the blue-haired Sayaka regained consciousness, of course she was very angry and directly asked QB why she didn't tell her earlier.
As a result, QB replied with disdain: "Because you didn't ask me."
Okay, after reading this, the audience can basically confirm that the QB who everyone thought was a mascot and cute pet at the beginning is definitely not a good thing!
At this time, looking back at the words at the beginning, "Sign a contract with me and become a magical girl," it naturally becomes more and more ironic.
QB completely selectively tells the girls some information, so that they only see the benefits of becoming a magical girl, but do not know what the real price of becoming a magical girl is.
Blue-haired Sayaka thought she would never regret it, but what happened to her afterwards was so depressing.
Sayaka's childhood sweetheart who made a wish to be cured ended up getting together with her friend Hitomi Shizuki. In fact, this green-haired girl asked Sayaka about her wishes before confessing to the male character, but Sayaka gave up on her own initiative. , after she realized the truth about transforming into a magical girl, she felt that she was no longer human and felt inferior.
Sayaka looked at the sweet and inseparable daily life of her childhood sweetheart and her best friend. However, after she made a wish, she turned into a zombie-like body, and her mentality became more and more collapsed...
She began to doubt her once seemingly selfless wishes, and began to abandon herself and hurt herself in battle. Anyway, the body is just the shell to a magical girl, and the soul gem is the most important.
Senior sister Asami Tomoe had the Soul Gem on her head at the time, but she died after suffering a blow from that weak point.
The blue-haired Sayaka was finally completely crushed by despair. Then she shed tears, looked back at a 45-degree angle, and said a famous line: "I am such an idiot!"
Why is this line so famous? Because in the earth world, ten years after "Puella Magi Madoka Magica" was broadcast, there is a topic that has become popular on the Internet. It is precisely - today is "Sayaka discovers that she is a fool." "The tenth anniversary.
And I have to say that the scene where Lan Mao transforms into a "mermaid witch" out of complete despair is depressing and depressing!
The scene performed in the animation is simply amazing. Many viewers felt sympathy for Lan Mao when they saw this scene. When she cried and said that she was a fool, this knife also made countless viewers shed tears!
Again, many viewers never thought that a member of the protagonist group like Lan Mao, who had so many roles, would have no "protagonist halo" at all. Xu Qingru was too ruthless, how could he write such a plot!
As for why Blue Hair is the "Mermaid Witch", of course it's because of the plot about Sayaka, which is indeed a bit like Andersen's fairy tale "The Daughter of the Sea". This can be regarded as a tribute to the classic.
And then, QB finally revealed the biggest truth about magical girls: "This country calls growing women 'girls', so you who will eventually become witches, aren't you just 'magical girls'?"
After this episode was aired, many viewers’ desire to complain simply exploded——
"Made, this explanation about magical girls is really amazing!"
"Three sentences redefine 'magical girl', your imagination is really amazing!"
"The setting is so subversive. Watching this work actually makes my scalp tingle!"
"After watching "Puella Magi Madoka Magica", I instantly couldn't stand other magical girl-themed works. It ruined my outlook..."
"QB is too careless, QB must die! Its explanation of magical girls is simply a genius for extending sentences,"
"Lan Mao is too miserable. He was happily becoming a magical girl a few words ago, but then he cried and said he was a fool. Xu Qingru, who wrote such a plot, is clearly a maniac who abuses girls!"
…
As more settings and truths surfaced, every episode of "Puella Magi Madoka Magica" was broadcast like a blockbuster, exploding the ACG circle in this parallel world to pieces!
The true identity of QB has finally been revealed. It or its tribe is an alien civilization from the universe. In order to replenish the depleting cosmic energy, they invented technology that can convert emotional fluctuations into energy, and applied it to emotionally rich on earthlings.
Among them, the most efficient transformation is the moment when adolescent girls turn from hope to despair.
Therefore, so-called magical girls have been used as consumables from the beginning. The only destination for their birth is to desperately transform into witches and transmit energy to the universe.
When the suspense was finally revealed, many viewers were almost numb. It was the first time they saw a magical girl-themed work, and they actually felt like science fiction. However, the image can indeed be justified.
The heroine Madoka angrily accused QB of being cold, but QB was indifferent at all. It was basically absolutely rational. It calmly replied: "The existence of the entire universe will be beneficial to you in the long run, right? What's more, With a population being born every four seconds, why do you care so much about the life and death of a single individual?"
The most chilling thing about this passage is not the conspiracy behind it, but if you really stand for the collective interests of the entire universe and look at this sentence absolutely rationally, does it really make sense?
However, such words can only be used to deceive children. Adults are not so easily deceived.
QB doesn't look for all girls, he just likes to look for the kind of justice, kindness, and perseverance. The more girls who were once full of beautiful hope, the more energy they can harvest after they turn dark and fall.
