[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.
