[00:34] ---
    Shouldn't you go?
[00:44] ---
    Terrible luck!
[00:49] ---
    You won't regret it?
[00:51] ---
    You're friends, aren't you?
[00:53] ---
    No!
[00:55] ---
    No. They're not friends.
[01:01] ---
    I'm never going to make friends again.
[01:12] ---
    I just...
[01:15] ---
    can't stand by and do nothing when someone
    is trying to deceive Magical Girls.
[01:19] ---
    FELICIA MITSUKI
[01:24] ---
    Nice to meet you, Iroha Tamaki.
[01:27] ---
    I'm Touka Satomi.
[01:29] ---
    One of the Magius.
[01:30] ---
    Touka!
[01:34] ---
    Please restrain yourself.
    You are in the presence of a Magius.
[01:37] ---
    Magius.
[01:39] ---
    Then she's the boss
    of the Black Feathers and White Feathers?
[01:44] ---
    There must be some misunderstanding!
[01:46] ---
    Touka isn't the kind of girl
    who would do evil things like that!
[01:50] ---
    Right, Touka?
[01:53] ---
    Hey, Touka, do you remember Ui?
[01:57] ---
    You were really close friends with Ui Tamaki.
[02:00] ---
    She's my little sister.
[02:02] ---
    Ui Tamaki?
[02:04] ---
    Just like I was told.
    You're full of crazy talk, Iroha Tamaki.
[02:09] ---
    I don't have memories of Ui Tamaki
    in my neocortex, hippocampus, or anywhere.
[02:16] ---
    But...
[02:17] ---
    Touka, you forgot about Ui, too?
[02:25] ---
    Listen, my brilliant brain cells
    would never forget a friend.
[02:31] ---
    If I say I don't know her,
    that means we've never met.
[02:36] ---
    But I remember!
[02:38] ---
    You, Nemu, Ui, and I were all great friends!
[02:44] ---
    You don't give up, do you?
    If I say I don't know her, I don't know her.
[02:49] ---
    If you keep being a pest,
    an Uwasa will carry you off.
[02:52] ---
    Touka.
[02:54] ---
    You promised to give a lecture today.
[02:58] ---
    All of you will be good listeners too, won't you?
[03:04] ---
    All right.
[03:06] ---
    CURRENTLY ENFORCING FIRST-HAND LEARNING
[03:08] ---
    Okay.
[03:09] ---
    Then why don't we begin with the lecture?
[03:12] ---
    The first hour's theme
    is "Fundamentals of Magical Girls Theory I."
[03:17] ---
    I don't think it's difficult, but listen carefully.
[05:01] ---
    I thought you should know what happened
    with Yachiyo and the others a year ago.
[05:07] ---
    Why now? It has nothing to do with me.
[05:11] ---
    Yes, it does.
[05:13] ---
    It has something to do
    with every single Magical Girl.
[05:38] ---
    Kaede.
[05:42] ---
    FUNDAMENTALS OF MAGICAL GIRLS
    THEORY I
[05:43] ---
    SOUL GEM
[05:44] ---
    Girl A chose the path of becoming
    a Magical Girl in exchange for a wish.
[05:49] ---
    She was charged with the duty of fighting Witches
    in order to obtain Grief Seeds
[05:54] ---
    and keep her loved ones
    from being exposed to danger.
[05:58] ---
    One day, while fighting a powerful Witch,
    Girl A's Soul Gem was shattered.
[06:05] ---
    Time for a question.
[06:07] ---
    What will happen to Girl A?
[06:09] ---
    Let's see...
[06:11] ---
    Invisible Girl!
[06:13] ---
    Come on, give me an answer.
[06:15] ---
    What happens to a Magical Girl
    if her Soul Gem gets crushed?
[06:20] ---
    She can't use magic anymore.
[06:23] ---
    Bzzt!
[06:24] ---
    Not quite.
[06:27] ---
    All right, Miss Mightiest.
[06:29] ---
    She'll be released
    from her duties as a Magical Girl.
[06:32] ---
    You're not wrong, but... Bzzt!
[06:35] ---
    INCORRECT
[06:36] ---
    That's incorrect.
[06:39] ---
    The correct answer is...
[06:41] ---
    She dies!
[06:43] ---
    SHE DIED
[06:46] ---
    SHE DIED
[06:46] ---
    SHE HAS DIED
[06:48] ---
    Even though Girl A had no physical wounds,
    when her Soul Gem was destroyed,
[06:52] ---
    she stopped breathing,
    her pupils dilated, her face turned pale,
[06:55] ---
    her mouth became dry,
    and she never moved or smiled again.
[06:55] ---
    DECEASED
[06:56] ---
    KICKED THE BUCKET
[06:57] ---
    CROAKED
[06:58] ---
    GONE TO THE OTHER SIDE
[06:58] ---
    ETERNAL SLEEP
[06:59] ---
    EARLY DEATH
[07:04] ---
    Kaede, where have you been?
[07:21] ---
    Don't make me worry about you!
[07:25] ---
    I'm sorry, Rena.
[07:28] ---
    From now on, let's always be together.
[07:37] ---
    Listen, Rena.
[07:39] ---
    Listen to the truth about Magical Girls.
[07:43] ---
    She died?
[07:44] ---
    Why did she die?
[07:47] ---
    Because when we become Magical Girls,
    our soul is pulled out of our body
[07:53] ---
    and becomes the Soul Gem itself.
[07:58] ---
    Our soul is pulled out of our body?
[08:02] ---
    Don't stumble over a basic concept like that.
[08:06] ---
    We can't continue
    unless you have a good grasp of it.
[08:10] ---
    Continue?
[08:12] ---
    The second hour's theme
    is "Fundamentals of Magical Girls Theory II."
[08:15] ---
    FUNDAMENTALS OF MAGICAL GIRLS
    THEORY II
[08:17] ---
    ABOUT WITCHES
[08:33] ---
    Welcome to the Memory Museum!
[08:36] ---
    In this attraction, you can
    vicariously experience the life of a Magical Girl.
[08:40] ---
    Vicariously experience?
[08:42] ---
    You can actually experience
    the memories of Magical Girls.
[08:46] ---
    You yourself become a character.
[08:50] ---
    You, too, can become a Magical Girl
    and embark on an exciting adventure!
[09:08] ---
    Kyubey?
[09:18] ---
    I can't believe it developed this much.
[09:21] ---
    It may have preyed on a great number
    of humans in the space of a night.
[09:26] ---
    Should we leave?
[09:27] ---
    We can't carry all these people out at once.
[09:32] ---
    All we can do is defeat the Witch.
[09:48] ---
    Kanae!
[10:14] ---
    Iroha.
[10:16] ---
    Mifuyu?
[10:21] ---
    A review.
[10:22] ---
    Fundamentals of Magical Girls Theory I.
[10:26] ---
    To us Magical Girls,
    what is the significance of Soul Gems?
[10:51] ---
    Kanae!
[10:53] ---
    Kanae?
[11:01] ---
    Once that happens, restoration is impossible.
[11:05] ---
    There's nothing we can do for Kanae.
[11:08] ---
    That can't be true.
[11:10] ---
    Hey, Kanae.
[11:22] ---
    What happens to a Magical Girl
    when her Soul Gem is shattered?
[11:27] ---
    Can't something be done?
[11:30] ---
    This is a vicarious experience
    through the memory of a Magical Girl.
[11:33] ---
    The past can't be changed.
[11:35] ---
    Kanae, wake up.
[11:38] ---
    Kanae! Why...
[11:42] ---
    FUNDAMENTALS OF MAGICAL GIRLS - THEORY I
    "SOUL GEM"
    THE END
[12:02] ---
    You're late, Miss Veteran.
[12:08] ---
    Didn't Mifuyu Azusa tell you the appointment
    was at 3:00 pm at the Memory Museum?
[12:14] ---
    Are you also with Wings of the Magius?
[12:16] ---
    Or...
[12:18] ---
    You're sharp.
[12:20] ---
    You haven't survived all this time for nothing.
[12:23] ---
    Where are Tamaki and the others?
[12:29] ---
    But there's only one gondola...
[12:35] ---
    Jeez! Everything in here is an antique,
    so treat them with respect!
[12:53] ---
    Good morning, Iroha.
[12:55] ---
    The second hour's theme is Fundamentals
    of Magical Girls Theory II, About Witches.
[13:01] ---
    I'm here!
[13:02] ---
    Listen to this, Master Yachiyo!
[13:04] ---
    Banbanzai ranked 50th
    in Sankyo Ward's Ramen Royals!
[13:10] ---
    I don't know the parameters!
    What does the ranking go up to?
[13:15] ---
    What is it now?
[13:17] ---
    According to my fortune,
    this will be the luckiest day of my life!
[13:21] ---
    Really?
[13:22] ---
    Mel, you promised you wouldn't
    do divinations anymore.
[13:26] ---
    Your predictions always come true.
    So if you get a bad result...
[13:31] ---
    Well, it'll be a lucky day for her,
    so where's the harm?
[13:34] ---
    I'm speaking hypothetically.
[13:36] ---
    If she gets a bad result,
    we'll do everything we can to avoid it.
[13:40] ---
    Sheesh.
[13:42] ---
    Right after Kanae died,
    Yachiyo and I were both depressed,
[13:47] ---
    but the members of Mikazuki Villa increased
    and everything went back to normal.
[13:54] ---
    Sorry. But it's rare for us to get a reservation
    for a big group of people.
[14:04] ---
    Today we're going to hunt a Witch
    that came from Daito Ward, right?
[14:08] ---
    Yes. It's been moving from Kosho Ward
    to Chuo Ward to Mizuna Ward,
[14:11] ---
    so we have to stop it here in Shinsei Ward.
[14:14] ---
    Perfect. Grief Seeds have been
    scarce lately anyway.
[14:25] ---
    Yachiyo!
[14:26] ---
    There's a reason it's been able
    to make it all the way here.
[14:35] ---
    Yachiyo.
[14:36] ---
    I'll lure it away.
[14:38] ---
    Mifuyu, escape with Mel.
[14:40] ---
    Momoko, clear an escape route for those two.
[14:42] ---
    You mean to take it on alone?
[14:44] ---
    How many years
    do you think I've been a Magical Girl?
[14:47] ---
    I can handle this one.
[15:00] ---
    Now, while you have the chance!
[15:09] ---
    Nanami!
[15:11] ---
    Mel, no!
[15:20] ---
    Mel? Mel!
[15:27] ---
    Did we get a Grief Seed?
[15:30] ---
    If only we hadn't let that Witch slip away...
[15:32] ---
    Mel! Mel! Just hang in there a little longer!
[15:36] ---
    I'm going to get that Grief Seed now!
[15:38] ---
    You're going to get it?
[15:39] ---
    Finding that Witch is the only way!
[15:42] ---
    Don't go.
[15:44] ---
    I already know. I'm going to...
[15:46] ---
    Don't talk like that!
[15:50] ---
    How was this lucky? It's the worst!
[15:53] ---
    That's not true.
[16:14] ---
    What?
[16:19] ---
    All right, here's the question.
[16:21] ---
    What happens if a Soul Gem becomes murky?
[16:27] ---
    Witch...
[16:29] ---
    It's easier to understand
    if you see for yourself, right?
[16:44] ---
    What is this?
[16:45] ---
    What's what?
[16:47] ---
    It's just as you saw.
[16:49] ---
    Why is Mel going to become a Witch?
[16:52] ---
    A Witch...
[16:54] ---
    What the hell is a Magical Girl?
[16:57] ---
    In this country, you call females
    on their way to womanhood "girls," right?
[17:02] ---
    In the same way, we call females
    on their way to being Witches "Magical Girls."
[17:08] ---
    Are you being serious?
[17:10] ---
    If that's true,
    then all this time, we've been slaying...
[17:15] ---
    - Momoko.
    - But, Yachiyo...
[17:17] ---
    Momoko.
[17:18] ---
    It's not as bad as you think.
[17:20] ---
    It's all to extend the life of this universe.
[17:24] ---
    If you take the long view, you should understand
    that it's a good deal for the human race.
[17:32] ---
    It was just like that time with Kanae.
[17:34] ---
    Every time one of our friends died, we were
    slapped in the face with a cruel truth.
[17:39] ---
    The longer we survived, I kept thinking,
    "Why is this so unbearable?"
[17:45] ---
    THE MAGICAL GIRLS
    WERE ALL BEING FOOLED BY KYUBEY!
[17:46] ---
    Magical Girls were fated to become Witches
    when their Soul Gem burned out
[17:49] ---
    FUNDAMENTALS OF MAGICAL GIRLS - THEORY II,
    "ABOUT MAGICAL GIRLS"
    THE END
[17:51] ---
    CONTINUING
[17:51] ---
    and turned into a Grief Seed.
[17:53] ---
    MAGICAL GIRLS THEORY APPLICATION I
[18:02] ---
    You should forget about it.
[18:07] ---
    As long as you're careful with your Soul Gem,
    nothing will change.
[18:11] ---
    Can you forget about it, Momoko?
[18:15] ---
    It's been half a year.
[18:17] ---
    It's unbearable, having to be the only ones
[18:19] ---
    who went through this and on top of that,
    having to live with this feeling of guilt!
[18:26] ---
    What about Tsuruno?
[18:28] ---
    I don't want to burden her with this.
[18:34] ---
    Will I be burdened
    with this memory for the rest of my life?
[18:39] ---
    Unable to confide in anyone...
[19:35] ---
    The Soul Gem became purified.
[19:38] ---
    That power...
[19:45] ---
    It looks like your synapses
    made the connection.
[19:49] ---
    Touka!
[19:50] ---
    All right, let's rewind.
[19:59] ---
    Witchification is an irreversible reaction.
[20:01] ---
    So any Witch you encounter in town
    can't go back to being a Magical Girl.
[20:06] ---
    But Mifuyu Azusa went back to being human.
[20:09] ---
    That's a reversible reaction,
    so isn't that strange?
[20:13] ---
    If it's not Witchification,
    what do you think it is?
[20:18] ---
    The theme of the next part of the lecture
    is Magical Girls Theory Application I, Doppels.
[20:23] ---
    Iroha Tamaki, you're receiving
    visual information on your retinas.
[20:28] ---
    We call the change that happened
    to Mifuyu Azusa a "Doppel."
[20:33] ---
    Doppel?
[20:34] ---
    Yes. It's a revolutionary system
    that I created for Magical Girls.
[20:40] ---
    You created it, Touka?
[20:42] ---
    After telling you this much, I'm sure
    you can figure out the rest, Iroha Tamaki.
[20:47] ---
    I reject the inescapable fate of Witchification.
[20:50] ---
    This is the liberation of Magical Girls
    that Magius offers.
[20:55] ---
    Wings of the Magius is an organization
    that seeks the liberation of Magical Girls
[20:58] ---
    from the system that Kyubey constructed.
[21:01] ---
    Our movement will spread all over the world.
[21:05] ---
    Iroha Tamaki!
[21:07] ---
    Let us liberate you, too!
[21:17] ---
    Poor Rena.
[21:19] ---
    Poor Magical Girls.
[21:22] ---
    But it's okay.
[21:24] ---
    If you come with me,
    Magical Girls can be saved.
[21:51] ---
    We have to be saved.
[21:55] ---
    Let's go.
[21:57] ---
    Let's go together.
