It’s what we hold onto and fight with when all else seems lost. Hope is a blessing that makes us strong and keeps us going. It is never wrong to hope that things will be better and strive for a better future. So it is better to live without hope.īut Madoka’s view is different. This is the pessimistic view of hope: the idea is that by hoping for or expecting a good life that we can never have, we prolong our torment. ![]() To Kyubey, hope is a futile emotion that only prolongs and intensifies the inevitable despair that will follow. Not only Homura, but every other magical girl as well. To Kyubey, Homura is a fool for continuing to hold onto her hope. She would be overcome with despair over her inability to save Madoka and the pointlessness of the pain and suffering she’d gone through and become a Witch. Because if Homura were to stop hoping, it would be the end. She’s repeated this time frame God knows how many times because she has never given up the hope that she can save Madoka from the terrible fate that comes with being a magical girl, which is to either die fighting a Witch or become one yourself. ![]() In the end, the only ones left standing are her and Homura as Walpurgisnacht threatens to destroy everything.īut then Madoka asks Kyubey why Homura is so insanely determined to save her and defeat Walpurgisnacht, and Kyubey answers that it’s because Homura still hasn’t given up hope. Although she has enormous potential as a magical girl, Homura’s good intentions and her own hesitation and fear has prevented her from making a contract to become a magical girl. She can only stand by and watch as the rigged magical girl system hurts and even kills her friends. Throughout the entire series, Madoka has been a helpless bystander. ![]() There’s a scene in PMMM that I feel often gets overlooked: the scene where we see Madoka decide to be a magical girl and what her wish will be.
