相关剧情

TV本篇、小说即剧场版前篇后篇

佐仓杏子是原定替补死去的巴麻美而前往见泷原的魔法少女。因为自己的愿望使家庭破灭,从此以后佐仓杏子决定只为自己使用魔法,成为利己主义者[2]

她身为魔法少女的行事作风与美树沙耶香完全相反,两人因此互相敌对,甚至打了起来,不过被晓美焰鹿目圆介入打断。虽然佐仓杏子一开始跟美树沙耶香互相敌对,但其实对美树沙耶香为了他人而用掉魔法少女的愿望的遭遇感同身受[3]。佐仓杏子后来颇关心美树沙耶香,其重义气且直率冲动的性格也与美树沙耶香非常相似,不过她不太善于表达自己温柔的一面。佐仓杏子在第9话中带着鹿目圆一起,试图拯救变成“人鱼魔女”的美树沙耶香[4],却反被攻击而受到重伤。最后她将鹿目圆托付给晓美焰,之后释放出灵魂宝石的所有魔力,与美树沙耶香同归于尽。[5]

佐仓杏子后来受鹿目圆在最终话许下愿望的影响,失去了死亡的原因(魔女)。佐仓杏子最终在重新构筑的世界中复活,与晓美焰跟巴麻美一同战斗并见证美树沙耶香作为魔法少女的终结。佐仓杏子对于美树沙耶香的消失感到非常悲伤。

剧场版 新篇 叛逆的物语

叛逆的物语里,佐仓杏子在晓美焰创造的捏造的见泷原(false town/伪街)与美树沙耶香同居,每天晚上与鹿目圆等人组成的“魔法少女 神圣五重奏”团队一同讨伐梦魇。由于家乡风见野市已无梦魇出没,相当和平,因此佐仓杏子应巴麻美之邀搬家,并转入见泷原中学。

某一天,同为魔法少女的转学生·晓美焰质疑佐仓杏子的过往记忆,为确认记忆的可靠性,两人打算前往风见野市。经过多次失败后,他们得到“自己的记忆被某人捏造”的确信。在晓美焰的建议下,两人暂时对“受骗”一事佯装不知情。

不久后真相全部判明,他们自己所在的见泷原是捏造的,其真面目是晓美焰构筑的魔女结界,美树沙耶香其实是“圆环之理随从”一般的存在。佐仓杏子得知“沙耶香已死的梦”乃是现实,也认识到与胡桃钳魔女的战斗结束后,将再度与沙耶香分别一事。心灵相同的两人最后使出“巨大长枪”的合体技,扎穿晓美焰的魔女结界,奠定此战胜利的基石。

在“恶魔”晓美焰改变后的世界,仍然在见泷原中学上学。

"Kind of like a magical girl manga?"
--"But unlike in manga, love and courage are rare commodities. There is no salvation awaiting either."
- Yuma and Kyoko, Puella Magi Oriko Magica, Chapter 1.

  • In Chapter 1, Kyoko takes in Yuma, a young girl orphaned when her parents are killed by a witch shortly before Kyoko kills it. Yuma has no one to go back to, and together they break into bathhouses and share a hotel room. Kyoko tries to instill her own morals into Yuma, and tells her to never disrespect and waste food. Yuma accompanies Kyoko to fight Witches, and when checking for wounds on Yuma after she has a close call with a witch, Kyoko learns of Yuma's abusive past, and sympathizes with her even more. Kyubey appears and tells Kyoko about the murders of magical girls. He attempts to contract with Yuma, but Kyoko stops him and tells Yuma to never become a magical girl.
  • In Chapter 2, Kyoko leaves Yuma in their hotel room and goes out to fight a witch alone. Kyoko nearly dies from having her legs and arms torn off by the witch. Yuma, who has just made a contract with Kyubey, uses her new healing powers to save her. Kyoko is incredibly angry that the girl didn't heed her warnings about contracting, but after Yuma cries about fearing that she's useless and that she had been pushed to the edge by a girl named Oriko, Kyoko subsides. She does, however, promise to make Oriko pay for what she'd done.
  • In Chapter 3, Kyoko appears only once, and speaks with Mami about the recent murders of magical girls. Mami is looking for a "black magical girl", but Kyoko knows only as much as Mami does. Yuma then flips Mami's skirt in defense of Kyoko, thinking that Mami was bullying her caretaker. Kyoko tells her that she is mistaken about Mami, but thanks her for trying to be helpful. She asks Mami about Oriko, but Mami doesn't know anything and Kyoko will tell her no more about it.
  • In Chapter 6, Kyoko and Yuma fight together with Mami against Kirika after saving the blond magical girl. The fact that Template:Spoiler.

角色分析

能力、武器、战斗风格

  • 武器是比人要高的长枪,可以变形为多节棍/鞭[注 4],以此来增加攻击范围或是捆绑目标
    • 漫画版中枪尖成十字架形状,此外该枪是以变长成为鞭子而非变成多节棍的方式增加攻击范围。
  • 攻击速度快并有强大攻击力量和技术[6],但是防御力令人惊讶的脆弱[6]
  • 能制造出大量由方块拼造成的网状结界,通常用来将需要保护的对象隔离开来。
  • 最初许愿得到的能力是幻觉魔法,而在父亲自杀身亡以后被杏子自己所封印[7]
    • 幻觉分身的技能名为啰嗦·烦他死妈Rosso Fantasma(红色幻影),命名者是巴麻美
    • 在广播剧Farewell Story中,最多能分身到十三人
    • 魔法少女和美第19章里,Umika Misaki用自己的能力学到了Rosso Fantasma
  • 在PSP游戏中的最强杀招是自爆(汗),幸好就算自爆了也还救得回来(默)。

身世、性格

佐仓杏子的父亲是牧师,从小对她产生巨大影响。但后来因父亲宣扬的崭新教义不被民众普遍接受,全家过著饥寒交迫的贫苦日子。杏子向丘比许愿“希望人们能认真的倾听父亲的话”而成为魔法少女,信徒因此蜂拥而至。因为这样,杏子家的家计终于有了起色。她也相信只要自己在世界暗部讨伐魔女、父亲在世界表面推广教义,这样父女俩就能一同拯救这个世界。之后遇上麻美并成为麻美的徒弟,和麻美搭档组合了好一段时间。但是父亲得知自己的信仰广为流传的原因是魔法后,因此怒骂杏子为魔女,开始酗酒堕落,最后带着杏子以外的家人(母亲,妹妹)自杀身亡,从此以后佐仓杏子决定只为自己使用魔法,成为利己主义者。而也是在这时候和麻美决裂,麻美打算挽留杏子,而和杏子展开对战,最后由杏子胜出。没有家人的她完全靠自己生存,并按照自己的方式自由地过活。跟焰的几次谈话里可透露出她想试着去了解焰那重义气的性格,在漫画外传与由真的相处可见其成熟温柔的一面。

  • 不良少女
  • 利益主导的利己主义,独来独往,自把自为,贯彻弱肉强食的原则
  • 清楚知道“获得了什么,就得付出同样代价的别的东西”
  • 混乱中立阵营
  • 但是果然还是从心底憧憬着“帮助他人”
  • 喜欢吃零食,乐于和他人分享食物,讨厌浪费粮食
  • 喜欢玩跳舞机而且能轻松拿下满分

点评

佐仓杏子原先以反派角色的形象出现,但是最后反而变成一个具有侠义精神的角色[8],形象完全转变[9]

负责剧本的虚渊玄认为佐仓杏子行为类似反派角色,内心则保持平静的状态[10][3],但是其实她并不喜欢如此[10]。佐仓杏子认为如果可以拯救美树沙耶香,就可以拯救自己的心灵,否则将面临真正的绝望[7][3]

花絮

  • 虚渊玄最初指定杏子的印象色是黄色,但是负责角色原案的苍树梅最后还是设计成了红色[11]。马尾辫也不是苍树梅的角色原案里的设定,而是岸田隆宏的主意[12]。虎牙跟喜欢糖果的个性也是岸田隆宏的设计。
  • 佐仓杏子是与巴麻美相反的类型[13],声音被设计成反派角色[14][15]
  • 根据虚渊访谈,失去家人的杏子似乎是以非法手段获取物资来维持生活,例如利用魔法偷窃或是破坏ATM盗取现金等。她也是因为用这种方式散播了绝望,与猎杀魔女而散播的希望取得平衡,因而没有化为魔女

业界评论

  • 在第五话副音轨中,小圆的声优悠木碧做出了“杏子たんは俺の嫁”发言,也因此得到“杏子が好きすぎる人”之称号。悠木碧又喜欢美少女战士的木野真琴,所以是马尾控。爱的宣言已被MAD化 http://www.nicovideo.jp/watch/sm15048731
    • 特典CD 魔法少女们的茶会里,悠木碧也承认了对杏子的爱
      • 其实斋藤千和跟新谷良子在里面同样也表达了喜欢杏子这个角色
        • 喜多村英梨则表示她是攻。[1]
    • 就像那些爱与悠木勇气胜利的故事[注 5]
  • 野中蓝说杏子的讲话很有昭和风(1926-1989),亦即很古老
  • 第7话的评论副音轨里,悠木碧说杏子是那种反英雄角色,需要与自己内在的负面作斗争,从而完成自己相信的正义

社会反响

2011年被选为“导盲犬普及支援”的主题人物(看板娘)[16]

许多与佐仓杏子相关的玩偶也陆续推出,其中主要设计人形玩偶的Good Smile Company分别推出过数款figma人偶与黏土人玩偶。在2011年时由Good Smile Company公布的销售排行榜之中,黏土人模型排行第11位,figma人偶则是第7位[17]Amazon.co.jp公布的销售排行榜之中,黏土人模型排行第8位[18]

捏他

  • 颜文字 ノル◀|◝ ー◜リ
  • 连官图里都很少出现的隐藏角色
  • 职阶是Lancer
    • 枪妹妹又自杀了
  • 在官方广播剧3和外传漫画TDS中,杏子许愿成为魔法少女并与麻美结识,最后由于家庭惨剧而关系破裂,这些都是TV动画的一年前发生的事。但是动画第7话的回忆当中,杏子显得明显比“一年前”要小。小说版的描写也像是更久以前的事。
    • 不过由虚渊监修的PSP版则是采用了广播剧3的设定,所以这应该已经被承认是官方设定。也有可能是当时剧本根本没设定,才会让动画的制作群以及小说版作者搞错而把杏子画/写得年纪太小
  • 在外传漫画《魔法少女おりこ☆マギカ》中,杏子遇见了父母被魔女杀害的受虐少女千岁由麻。在无可奈何的状况下,开始照料她的生活。
    • 因此而被称为带子狼。
  • 本篇的演出与喜怒形于色的表现提供MAD职人大量的素材,赢得“万能的杏子”之称。
  • 真正登场之前,英文讨论区的人因为只看到杏子在OP里叼着冰棒的样子,所以称其为Condom-cham
  • “杏子”的英文,Apricot+ 恰好是苍树梅的社团的名称 [2]

Speculations & Observations

"I beg you, God... If this is how my life ends... Let me see a happy dream, just once..." - Kyoko, Episode 9.

  • Certain comments from Mami in Episode 2 and 3 seem to be referring to Kyoko, indicating that they had encountered each other in the past. She mentions Mami by name in Episode 4. In Episode 5, when Sayaka says that she blames Mami's death on people like Kyoko, Kyoko tells her to "Shut up. Just shut up", further implying some connection between the two. The prequel manga Oriko Magica, which will star Kyoko and Mami, is likely to explain this in detail.
    • Kyoko refers to Mami only by her first name with Kyubey in Episode 4. This was considered a sign that Kyoko and Mami had known each other previously.
    • The Drama CD "Farewell Story" tells the backstory of Kyoko and Mami meeting for the first time. It is suggested that the events take place prior to the beginning of the anime series.
      • In the same Drama CD, Kyoko addresses Mami as Mami-san, indicating that their relationship is as Senpai and Kōhai. By the end of the story Kyoko addresses Mami with her full name, indicating that their relationship has become distant.
  • Her behavior and character hint to next possible past of hers. In episode seven, it is revealed that she too made a selfless wish for her father, and ended up losing her entire family due to her wish's repercussions. Thus, she eats gratuitously because her family never had enough to eat before she made her wish. Kyoko states that she has learned from this experience that using magic to help others is a mistake, and that magic should only be used to make one's own wishes come true.
    • It is possible that Kyoko is suffering from an eating disorder brought by the traumatic death of her family. Kyoko uses food as a way to comfort her loneliness or any sorrowful events.
      • It may be possible that Kyoko eats excessively to erase the memories of hunger, as those emotions are tied to her traumatic past.
    • A NewType article goes into more details regarding Kyoko's character and behavior.
  • Kyoko seems to dislike when girls became magical girls because they made a selfless wish. While at first she disliked Sayaka for making a selfless wish, in the end she grows to like her because Kyoko sees Sayaka making the same mistakes as her. In Kazumi Magica she is seen fighting against Yuuri Asuka, probably because of her wish (to cure Airi).
    • In Puella Magi Madoka Magica: The Different Story, it seems that Kyoko believes that her selfless wish to help her family end up hurting them, because of that she blames herself for what happened. She thinks that by forcing her own selfish form of happiness on others, she end up hurting what was precious and important to her. Kyoko reasons that if she had made a selfish wish for herself, the only person end up hurting would had been her own self.
  • Kyoko's father was a priest who was responsible for the overseeing of a large cathedral. As a result of preaching new ideas and deviating from church doctrine he was excommunicated from the order, he was also alienated from his congregation as a result of preaching heresy (?).
    • Kyoko's father could be an Anglican priest since he is married with children, also his clergy outfit is similar to their style. Another evidence is that his cathedral shares some architectural similarities to the Canterbury Cathedral.
    • According to Kyoko, her father was an extremely kind and sensitive man. So sensitive that he was in constant worry due to the state of the world's affairs. In her own words: "He was too honest. Too kind. Every morning reading the paper, the worries of the world brought him to tears". As a result of this he started preaching new ideas born more from his convoluted (idealistic) emotions rather than continue to preach the acceptable doctrine, which got him and his family to become destitute and hungry. Driven by hunger and pity, Kyoko made her wish to help his father find new followers by making anyone who listened to him to believe his words. But Kyoko's father soon learned the truth behind the miracle that he experienced, that his preaching was only accepted as a result of magic and not by real devotion to his radical ideas. The fact that his followers' hearts and minds were manipulated by magic shattered his mind and worldview. Once Kyoko's father is confronted with the awful truth, probably driven by madness, he decides to kill his wife and Kyoko's little sister, after murdering his family in cold blood he commits suicide. It is unknown how or why Kyoko survived or if her father tried to take her life. It is assumed that she most likely survived as a result of her being a magical girl who cannot die unless her Soul Gem is destroyed.
      • It is possible to say that Kyoko's father would have never been able to trust anyone as a result of the spell that was cast upon him. Not only did he saw his daughter as a sort of monster (witch) but he probably saw himself to be an abomination, which is why he decided death was the only viable option.
  • In Puella Magi Madoka Magica: The Different Story a news broadcast indicates that a private residence in Kasamino City was caught on fire, inside the residency they found the bodies of the three members of the Sakura family. According with police the residents were forced in multiple suicide but the broadcast doesn't mention any other details. It is not known if the police suspected the father, or if the private residency was the Sakura Church.
  • It's speculated by some fans that Momo, her younger sister may have secretly been turned into a Magical Girl, only to become the witch Elsa Maria in the end.
  • In Episode 9, she stores Sayaka's soulless body in an expensively decorated room. Some viewers believe that this is her true home, but there has been speculation that it is merely a hotel room that she managed to somehow commandeer using her magic.
    • Episode 11 reveals that Sayaka's body was found in a hotel room with no leads to what happened. It is unlikely that was Kyoko's residency.
    • The Oriko manga reinforces the idea that Kyoko lacks a permanent residency, instead she takes shelter at a fancy hotel (it is never stated how is she able to afford it or what trick she used to obtain a room).
      • Rumor has it that there is a magazine article that states that Kyoko has mind trick powers that she gained when she made her wish (similar to her Father's ability to make people believe him) but she lost those powers due to the trauma caused by seeing her father killing her family and hanging himself. The same article indicates that Kyoko gets her monetary income by breaking and busting ATM machines, she uses the stolen money to buy food and pay rent on expensive hotel rooms.
        • This magazine article confirms the suspicion in regards to Kyoko's income, it also supports the idea that Kyoko has the ability from her wish to charm others ("mind trick") but doesn't use them as she suppresses them subconsciously because of the trauma with her family. Her powers had been described as persuasion/hallucination.
          • Same article illustrates that Kyoko's bad behavior and mischief is due to her attempt to cope with reality to survive her ordeal. It is thanks to this survival mechanism that she was able to avoid despair. Same article indicates that while Kyoko is no stranger to robbery, she would never harm anyone who was innocent in the process. Instead, she would commit her crimes without harming anyone physically by committing them at night.
            • Kyoko's full ability is finally displayed in the Drama CD "Farewell Story", she has the ability to confuse her opponents with illusions as well as split herself into multiple images.
            • In Puella Magi Madoka Magica: The Different Story, Kyubey explains that Kyouko's magic is called "enchantment". When Kyouko rejected her power after losing her family, she also rejected her own wish. Kyubey explains that Kyoko's magic is now useless, because her subconscious mind has rejected her own wish and along with it her magical ability. As long has Kyouko's mind rejects or regrets her own wish, she wont be able to use her magic as she did before.
  • Her spear could be a reference to the scorpion's spear.
    • The spear appears as linked pieces during combat, like the scorpion's tail.
    • She uses a warding spell in battle. Scorpions often associated with protection/warding spells, in Egypt and Tibet the Scorpion is made into an amulet - signifying protection and warding off evil.
    • The scorpion character who appears in Goethe's Faust is caught between the extremes of heaven or hell. Kyoko commits sins like letting people die and (likely) steals food, but in the same time she's seen as praying and she never allows wasting food.
      • Kyoko offers an apple to Sayaka while she advises her to live a life of selfishness but Sayaka refuses both of them. Sayaka believes that Kyoko's self-centered philosophy is just wrong and also rejects the fruit because she apparently believes it was stolen. Her attempt to tempt Sayaka with an apple and her suggestion to follow a path of selfish survivalism could be interpreted as Kyoko acting as the snake advising Sayaka to abandon the path of justice.
      • Kyoko refuses to abandon Sayaka's soulless body in Episode 9 even after Homura told her it was hopeless, she even sacrifices some of her Soul Gem's purity to keep Sayaka's body warm at her own expense. Kyoko even admits to Madoka that one time she used to be an idealist just like Sayaka, that she used to believe in stories where love and courage could overcome anything.
  • Her spear could be a reference to a Snake in it's elongated form or the Lance of Longinus.
  • Kyoko's spear could be a reference to a unicorn's horn, as a picture of a mermaid wind-chime (which may represent Sayaka's witch form) next to a unicorn wind-chime appears in the Blu-Ray version of episode 9 while Kyoko speaks with Madoka about saving Sayaka.
    • The unicorn became the most important imaginary animal of the middle ages and the Renaissance when it was commonly described as an extremely wild woodland creature, a symbol of purity and grace, which could only be captured by a virgin.
      • According with antique encyclopedias, its horn was said to have the power to render poisoned water potable and to heal sickness.
        • This often gets extended to the lifting of curses and breaking of illusions.
  • Kyoko is the only character who is the most affected by Sayaka's death in the both the previous timeline and the new world created by Madoka, even though she described her relationship with Sayaka as "finally being able to become friends". This lends credence to speculation that Kyoko's feelings for Sakaya go beyond that of normal friendship.
    • Interestingly, Kyoko never calls anyone by their name until near the end of Episode 8 when Sayaka's about to become a Witch. After that she mentions Sayaka's name constantly through Episode 9. Every other timeline in Episode 10 and Episode 12 Kyoko never addresses Madoka or Homura by name. Nor does she address Mami, although she doesn't exactly have any real dialogue with her. It is suspected that this puts an emphasis on how important Sayaka is to Kyoko.
  • The "Sunny Day Life" Drama CD points out that Kyoko doesn't go to school.
  • Production notes indicates that in Episode 9, Kyoko damaged her entire right torso.
  • According to some fans, her somewhat tomboyish nature, reddish hair tied in a pony-tail and sporty style of clothing (when not transformed) which includes shorts and exposes her navel make her look rather like Yoko Littner from Gurenn Lagann (a mecha anime from Gainax).
    • She could also be said to resemble Hibiki Ganaha from THE iDOLM@STER franchise, to the point one could palette swap them into each other. Their hairstyles, expressions, and fangs are all similar. Even their casual and hyperactive personalities are the same. This has been noted in some fan art. (Danbooru SFW image)
  • In episode 10, some audiences are under the impression that Kyoko is a member of Madoka's team. However, actually, there is "no" scene that Kyoko joins in Madoka's team. Moreover, she obviously opposes their team at the beginning of the timeline 3. There is a possibility that Kyoko is an "enemy" of Madoka's team in the timeline 3. She may plan on poaching Sayaka from Madoka's team. So Kyoko chases Sayaka and happen to be present at the scene of her changing.

A Different Kyoko:

"It' be like a story where love and courage wins, you know? When I think about it, I became a mahou shoujo because I loved those stories." - Kyoko, Episode 9.

  • Magazine articles and other Media have depicted another side of Kyoko that exists in the New World (or a happier parallel world version):
    • Kyoko's idealism is still intact and strong; she still has a strong desire to help people. Probably becoming a good girl and a self-respecting mahou shoujo. This could be a result that she never lost her family as it was the catalyst for her character change.
      • It is speculated that Kyoko never lost her idealism, but instead she buried it after she understood the awful reality of the real world. Kyoko tries desperately to suppress her old self through out the series, but it would gradually start to come back as the series progresses.
        • It is suspected that her meeting with Sayaka and their gradual interaction was the triggering event that rekindled Kyoko's lost idealism.
        • This is confirmed in the Drama CD 3, in which it is revelaed that Kyouko had an illusory power named "Rosso Fantasma" (Red Illusion/Phantom) by Mami. After the death of her family, she loses this power since she becomes disillusioned and loses her ideals. It is heavily implied that that was the same attack she used to kill Oktavia, showing that she rekindled her idealism.
    • The "Sunny Day Life" depicts a Kyoko who is still "innocent" as she cannot understand why would anyone steal used panties.
      • It is speculated that this "Pure Maiden" characteristic resides in the New World version of Kyoko.
        • The same could be said in the Old World version too as there is nothing to indicate otherwise but because of lack of evidence this is only speculation.

Platonic or Yuri Love?

It is common to find yuri subtext on the Mahou Shoujo genre, sometimes it develops into shippings or pairings created by fans, even if it was not part of the creators original intention. The creators of the show may have been aware of this phenomenon so they decided to exploit the same yuri subtext phenomenon when it came to the relationship between Kyoko and Sayaka. However, the yuri subtext mostly comes from Kyoko making it one-sided; while it is officially recognized that Kyoko has feelings for Sayaka, it is uncertain what types of feelings they are. Fans would argue that Sayaka just never had the chance to return these feelings, and Kyoko was never really good in articulating them. Fans have also noticed that the feminine form of Kyousuke could be Kyoko.

注释

  1. 来自于红蓝CP的一个称呼:骑士と髪姫(Kurenai kishi to Souhatsu hime),对应杏子とさやか(Kyouko to Sayaka)
  2. 因为“杏”日文又读あん
  3. 因为杏子的武器是长枪,同时也继承了Fate系列作品里面枪兵角色“不幸”跟结局总是自杀的特点
  4. 其实是动画群因为初战地点在窄巷才追加的设定
  5. 蓝与爱同音,悠木与勇气同音。这句话原为动画第9话台词。
