So this was the final episode of 'Puella Magi Madoka Magica'?
On the other side, Kyubey was still trying to persuade Sayaka, Madoka, Sakura, Kyoko, and Mami Tomoe to save the witch-turned Homura Akemi.
But after what Bebe had revealed, the four Magical Girls no longer trusted him.
Sayaka and Bebe moved together.
The BGM swelled, turning passionate and intense.
Sayaka began to explain.
The Madoka in Mitakihara was the real Madoka.
To enter the Soul Gem and take Homura away—and to avoid being affected by Kyubey's power and the laws governing him—she had entrusted her power and memories to Sayaka and Bebe.
When the time was right, the two of them would return everything to Madoka Kaname.
And that time—
Was now.
Their goal was to shatter the false shell in the sky and release the witch born from Homura Akemi out of this fabricated world.
The four Magical Girls, along with Bebe, fought against Homura's familiars.
Sayaka fought side by side with Sakura Kyoko.
Mami Tomoe coordinated perfectly with Madoka.
Wei Ruoyu blew her nose hard.
Su Yan, you really know how to squeeze out tears.
With the atmosphere you built before, I almost thought this series was going to end in total despair.
"No matter what happens, Homura is still Homura… so please, don't give up."
Homura's witch cried out in anguish.
The shell of her Soul Gem shattered.
Madoka grasped her hand, and the two of them raised their arms together—
Pink flower petals rained from the sky, wreaths of blossoming flowers blooming on their own.
Wei Ruoyu collapsed weakly onto the sofa.
Only one thought filled her mind.
A masterpiece!
From the first episode to the last—divine all the way through!
Who was it that said this show should've ended at episode eight? Bullshit!
Who would've thought the true happy ending would be Homura becoming a witch, then being accepted by Madoka and becoming part of the Law of Cycles?
In the real world, arrows rained down from the heavens, piercing through Kyubey's barrier field.
Homura's Soul Gem shattered.
Her body lay there peacefully.
High above, Madoka descended from the sky.
Petals paved her path. Staff in hand, pink hair flowing, she rode forward toward Homura.
It's over—roll credits!
Wei Ruoyu jumped to her feet, face brimming with excitement.
But before she could celebrate for even a second—
Homura's body suddenly grabbed Madoka's hands.
Her eyes snapped open, a dark smile curling on her lips.
?
"Huh?" Wei Ruoyu froze.
What the hell?
There's more?
"I've been waiting for this moment… for a very long time!" Despair flooded Homura's eyes.
Her Soul Gem radiated a power even more terrifying than curses.
Madoka's divinity and humanity were forcibly split apart by that power.
Then, a force rivaling Madoka's swept across the universe.
["?"] Wei Ruoyu stared in stunned confusion.
She didn't fully understand what was happening—but she was exhilarated.
It seemed Kyubey had messed up again.
Homura had seized this opportunity to obtain part of Madoka's divine power—and once again rewrote the laws of the universe.
"I remember now. I've repeated this countless times until today, so much so that even pain feels dear to me. The power that polluted my Soul Gem… this is the ultimate form of human emotion. Hotter than hope, deeper than despair—it is love!"
"You are neither a Magical Girl nor a witch now. What do you intend to become?" Faced with Homura's power and rewritten laws, Kyubey had no strength to resist.
"Only a demon could accomplish something like this."
The universe was rewritten once more.
Homura used the power of the Law of Cycles.
Madoka's humanity, in the new world, existed as Madoka Kaname—living alongside Madoka Kaname.
Her divinity, meanwhile, continued eliminating witches.
Homura had fallen into darkness.
All she wanted now was to remain with Madoka.
The story ended with Madoka and Homura's reunion.
"Perhaps one day, you may become my enemy. But even so, I will still pray for a world where you can be happy."
The ending theme began to play.
Wei Ruoyu felt a hollow ache in her chest.
At the very end, Homura tied the ribbon back onto Madoka.
A subtle implication—she had lost everything.
So this was what it meant to become a demon.
This ending…
Was it good, or bad?
Was it depressing—or a grand happy ending?
Homura defied Madoka's will, used deception to keep her by her side, rewrote the laws of the world—was a life together under those circumstances truly a good ending?
But if Homura had done nothing—if she had simply left with Madoka and become part of the Law of Cycles—would that have been the more "correct" choice?
Although Madoka had wished to eliminate all witches, what she truly desired was to live as a human, not to eternally bear every Magical Girl's despair and act as a cosmic law until the end of the universe.
Homura protected Madoka.
But she also ignored Madoka's resolve.
"Old sadist… is this really how it ends?" Wei Ruoyu sighed, a hollow emptiness lingering in her heart.
That night, online discussions about 'Puella Magi Madoka Magica' exploded to their peak since the show began airing.
The plot was simply too mind-bending—most people couldn't fully grasp it after just one viewing.
Forums were flooded with analysis posts.
["So how exactly was Homura able to demonize herself?"]
["Probably the triple effect of Kyubey's isolation field, the witch incubating inside Homura's Soul Gem, and Madoka's power being stolen."]
["Homura is a time looper. Madoka is the center of the world's distortion—why wouldn't Homura be the same? Madoka had immense potential and became a god. Homura gaining comparable power by becoming a demon isn't strange at all."]
["I cried my eyes out. Homura's feelings for Madoka—Homura x Madoka forever!"]
["Su Yan never clearly defined what kind of feelings Homura has for Madoka. That bothers me a bit."]
["Define what? As long as it's beyond friendship, that's enough."]
["Masterpiece. An absolute masterpiece!"]
["Better than 'Tokyo Love Story'!"]
["Don't pit them against each other. Both are great—just different styles."]
["I was worried the finale would collapse. Who knew it'd surpass even episode eight? Su Yan is insane."]
["But I feel like the story isn't over!"]
["Is Su Yan really not considering a second season of 'Puella Magi Madoka Magica'?"]
["It's complete. Painful, sure—but could there be a better ending? In the newly rewritten universe, Sayaka and Madoka return to campus life."]
["But that comes at the cost of twisting Madoka's will. She came joyfully to save Homura, and Homura split off her humanity just to play house with her at school. Turning a god back into a human—is that really a happy ending?"]
["But Madoka was human to begin with!"]
["Homura clearly turned dark in the end. She only cares about Madoka now. She acts completely on her own terms—it's kind of scary."]
["Sigh… I feel empty inside. I'd give this ending a perfect score in my heart. But I still hope Su Yan makes a second season."]
["A second season? I doubt it. The story's already complete. What would they even write? Madoka and Homura becoming enemies?"]
["The most god-tier show I've ever watched. Su Yan really lives up to his reputation. Next year's Xia Flame Awards for Best Drama are basically decided!"]
["Yeah. Even though the year's only half over, 'Puella Magi Madoka Magica' is already the annual number one."]
["I hope its ratings surpass 'Tokyo Love Story'! Please!"]
["I don't want it to lose!"]
Tonight, all of Su Yan's haters vanished.
Before the finale aired, they had been wildly active. Now? Deader than dead.
Deleting posts. Locking private messages. Playing ostrich and pretending nothing happened.
For some viewers, this ending was incredible.
For others, it was deeply uncomfortable.
In the false world rewritten by Homura, everyone continued as Magical Girls, eliminating magical beasts together.
As long as you forgot that the world itself was fabricated by Homura, everything seemed fine.
That night, many fans of 'Puella Magi Madoka Magica' couldn't sleep.
At the same time, many of Su Yan's industry peers couldn't sleep either.
The next afternoon, the finale ratings were announced.
6.05%.
Upon hearing the news, many of Su Yan's peers let out long sighs.
As expected—another show breaking 6%.
The explosive popularity the night before had hinted at it. But two consecutive dramas surpassing 6% ratings—this left countless industry professionals in despair.
From now on, who could compete with Su Yan?
For Su Yan, his fanbase would only continue growing.
In theory, his works' performance should also keep rising.
But that theory depended on his creative level not declining—and ideally continuing to improve.
And Su Yan was the embodiment of that perfect theory.
'Puella Magi Madoka Magica' not only delivered a near-perfect report card—it completely solidified Su Yan's status in the industry.
He wasn't just someone who could write romance scripts.
At the very least, his creative ability in fantasy battle dramas was also top-tier.
As a result, fans and media alike grew even more interested in the fantasy battle drama 'Fate/Zero'.
After 'Puella Magi Madoka Magica' concluded, not only did its paid streaming numbers on XingxiaNet surge, but the popularity of Su Yan's other works skyrocketed as well.
And Su Yan had no intention of slowing down.
With both his show and his personal popularity at their peak, he would definitely strike while the iron was hot—
And begin promoting his upcoming film project.
