Watch With Me! Magica Madoka (Episode 8)



Sayaka continues to crumble as she doesn’t know how to cope with the knowledge of her soulless body coupled with Hitomi’s confession of love for Kamijo. She starts to blame Madoka for her suffering and eggs her on to experience what she is going through now. The guilt of what she said to Madoka will eventually eat away at her, and the weight of everything will cause her to eventually become what she fought so hard against.


Noticing Sayaka's deterioration, Kyubey finds Homura and Kyoko to inform them that Sayaka’s progress downhill is expediting at an unexpected rate. Both of them know that this means the end of Sayaka. When Homura confronts Sayaka in order to save her, Sayaka refuses her help, only calling out Homura for her empty coldness. Homura then attempts to rid of Sayaka, stating that she won’t bear to watch Madoka get hurt. Homura cares for Madoka in kind of an indescribable way, and lo and behold, she is someone who has traveled back in time in order to save Madoka from her devastating future fate.

Madoka, being the selfless heroine that she is, is ready to make a contract with Kyubei. Intervened by Homura murdering Kyubei's body, she flees to find and rescue her friend. When Madoka leaves, we come to learn that Kyubei is probably as evil as they come, and his real name is incubator? Hmm I wonder why...maybe he takes all of those grief seeds in order to cultivate power for himself, who knows? But as the scene comes to a close Kyubei has a chilling quote for us all. He says that it's fitting that girls who will eventually become witches are called magical girls... dun dun dun.


And then we witness…Sayaka becoming a witch.
