>>123528671Wait what? She is more skilled now, but her karmic destiny shouldn't be any higher than it was before. Even if you argue that having a witch effectively doubles her power, remember that the fights against Walpurgis (with it being beaten) in the first timelines go like this:
First: Mami is the first to fall, Madoka presumably detonates her soul gem and manages to kill Walpurgis
Second: Mami also dies quickly(?), Madoka exhausts her magic to do it
Third: only Madoka and Homura, both exhaust their magic
>>123528965Exactly, she ran away. Mami could turn into ribbons and continue in the battlefield.
Also, Sayaka wasn't in entire control because she did try to impede Homura from using her shield. She took a kick in the stomach, failed at this and had to hide herself.
>Everyone above her on the list is a special case.Wasn't that the context she was speaking in?
