'''Mami Tomoe''' is a magical girl who rescues [[Madoka]] and [[Sayaka]] from a [[witch]] in [[episode 1]]. She is already contracted to [[Kyubey]] and offers to act as a mentor to the pair should they choose to become [[magical girl]]s. She is a powerful veteran who fights with summoned muskets and ribbons, as well as a ladylike older sister figure who enjoys tea. Mami, eager to acquire new friends, demonstrates the glory and heady thrill of magical heroism, but also shows Madoka and Sayaka the terrible danger inherent in going into the teeth of a witch's domain.

In the spin-off manga [[Puella Magi Madoka Magica: The Different Story]], Mami serves as the main protagonist alongside [[Kyoko Sakura]].

*During the Episode 3 Blu-ray commentary, the seiyuus Aoi Yuuki (Madoka), Chiwa Saito (Homura), and Kaori Mizuhashi (Mami) agreed that "Mami" is a very mahou shoujo name.
 +
**Some examples of use in other series: [[wikipedia:Esper_Mami|Esper Mami]] and [[wikipedia:Creamy_Mami,_the_Magic_Angel|Creamy Mami, the Magic Angel]].
 +
* In her short appearance in [[Kazumi Magica]], Mami is shown wearing white tights instead of dark tights. This matches her original design by [[Ume Aoki]], but not her finalized one from the anime.
 +
*Mami wears [[Puella_Magi_Madoka_Magica_Art_Book#Mami|regular panties.]] Fan artists often imagine her wearing seductive lingerie, but the real Mami is more of an innocent schoolgirl in this respect. Even if she's a bit lonely, she likes to show off on the battlefield, but she is not doing it for the boys/fans.
 +
*In an [[Kirara Magica Interview Mizuhashi Kaori|interview with Kirara Magica]], [[Mizuhashi Kaori]] (Mami's seyuu) believes Mami's death makes her memorable.
 +
**Incidentally, the Mami character archetype helped [[Mizuhashi Kaori]] to try something different from her usual voice acting roles.

==Wish==
 
<blockquote> ''"If you want to make a wish for someone else, then you really need to take the time to think about what you actually want." <br \ > "Miki-san, do you really want to make his dream to come true? Or do you just want to be his benefactor? The two may sound the same, but they are actually completely different."'' - Mami Tomoe, [[Episode 3]].</blockquote>

* A ninth-grader who attends Madoka’s school. A kind senior to Madoka, she ’s the helpful, sisterly type. However, the gun she wields contrasts with that image.
+
*The exact phrasing of Mami's wish is currently unknown, as there are multiple conflicting versions of it from official sources (and no flat-out phrasing):
* [[Ume Aoki|Ms. Aoki]] ’s [http://absolute.fanboi.us/2010/12/madoka-magica-aoki-ume-interview.html Design Check]: Her twisty, curly hair and floral hairpin make her seem like a big sister. Also, I gave her pretty [[Mami's mammies|big boobs]]. {tl note: Never change, Ume-tentei.}
+
** According to the [[Madoka Magica Manga|manga adaptation]], she simply asked Kyubey to "save her" during her car accident, but whether this is canonical for the anime is unknown.
* Magical girl outfit: Mami ’s design was definitely centered around her image as a gunner. The second thing that stands out are her breasts. (Aoki)
+
** According to a [[Megami Magazine 2011-07|magazine interview]], Mami's wish has something to do with ''"To connect to life"''.
* Her bustier and boots give her a Western flavor which her cap accentuates.
+
** According to [[The Different Story]] manga, she wished to "live on".
* School uniform: Her style stands out even in uniform. Just as Ms. Aoki says, her breasts are the largest of the four. She wears pure white tights (however, in the final design, she's seen wearing dark color tights.)
+
* There are [[Wish_theories#Mami.27s_Wish|several theories]] regarding the exact phrasing of Mami's wish and its relation to her powers.
* Mami's height range, according to the [[Puella_Magi_Production_Note|Production Note]], is [[:Media:PN 10.jpg|156-159cm]]. Her birthday, blood type and other biographical information is unknown at this time.
+
*Mami does not regret making her wish, preferring life as a lonely magical girl to death. What she does seem to regret, however, is not having had more time to think over it. She tells Madoka to think carefully of her wish, as she wasn't able to; she also chastises Sayaka when she asks if the wish has to be for herself or someone else, asking her outright if she truly wants to help the other person ([[Kamijou]]) or wants him to be in debt with her instead.
* As revealed in episode 10, Mami has had multiple demises.  Her first demise was when fighting Walpurgis Night.  In a later timeline, upon learning about the fate of Puella Magi, Mami decides to kill her companions and herself before they can become witches, and Madoka kills her in order to protect [[Homura]].
+
**According to Mami, what she does regret is that she did not think her wish carefully as she was under duress at the time
** In [[Oriko Magica]], this is different. This is possibly the only timeline Mami stays alive and teams with Kyoko and Yuma against Oriko and Kirika.
+
**In the [[Drama CD 3|Drama CD ''"Farewell Story"'']] she muses that it must be wonderful to make a wish for someone else's happiness.
** She falls into despair after knowing the truth about witches but after a pep talk with Yuma, she accepts her fate and helps Yuma, Kyoko and Homura to fight against Oriko.
+
***It is revealed in [[The Different Story]] that Mami regrets her wish because she didn't think of saving her parents in her moment of desperation. Some suspect that she feels guilty about it because she was only thinking about herself.
* She was brought back to life due to Madoka's wish at the end of Episode 12. She now fights Demons with Kyoko and Homura.
+
 
* Mami's teacup after a fight was an original idea added by [[Puella_Magi_Madoka_Magica_Official_Guidebook_"You_Are_Not_Alone"#Page_121|Inu Curry.]]
+
==Weapons, Abilities and Fighting Style ==
* According to a [[Megami Magazine 2011-07|magazine interview]], Mami's wish has something to do with ''"To connect to life"'', so it gave her the power to "tie" and "combine" things together. Her ribbons can also produce guns and because she is a veteran, her powers extend beyond her original powers.
+
[[File:Mami_rifles_ep1.png|right|280px|thumb|Who needs guns that can fire more than once when you can do this?]]
**For an interpretation regarding Mami's ribbon powers and her connection to her wish to live, see [[Mami_Tomoe#Observations|Observations]].

[[File:Finale_Cannon_2.png|right|280px|thumb|''Tiro Finale!'']]
*Mami wears [[Puella_Magi_Madoka_Magica_Art_Book#Mami|regular panties.]]
+
Mami is a veteran and is the most experienced magical girl in Madoka Magica, with Kyubey claiming in Episode 4 that that was the reason why she could afford to battle familiars as well as witches. However, whether she is the most powerful magical girl (discounting Ultimate Madoka), is up to [[Speculah:Mami_is_the_Strongest_Theory|debate]].<br />
*Mami's guns can only shoot one bullet, but the type of the bullet can also vary so it can [[Tweets#New_Background_Information|shoot shotgun shells too]].
+
 
**Both Mami's guns and bullets are made of ribbons, her original given magical ability.
+
*Mami's primary weapons are percussion-lock rifled muskets, which she can summon in large numbers and are fired by hand, remotely or are used as a melee weapon. Expended bullets can summon strings to ensnare the foe.
 +
*Mami's weapon which she uses for her finishing move, ''Tiro Finale'', is an enormous percussion lock cannon. The cannon and the method of use seems to vary each time she summmons it, implying that she probably creates it to match what she has in mind then.
 +
**Mami's guns can only shoot one bullet, but the type of the bullet can also vary so it can [[Tweets#Yukihiro_Miyamoto.2C_Series_Director|shoot shotgun shells too]].

*Mami also uses ribbons which she can use to bind enemies. She extends them from her clothing or summons them out of the air.

==Trivia==
+
'''Fighting style'''
[[File:Ume meet Urobuchi.jpg|thumb|right|140px|We suspect this is an accurate depiction]]
+
*As when she assaulted Gertrud's barrier, Mami fights in a very focused and disciplined manner, choosing her shots carefully and reacting quickly when she gets into trouble. Presumably, this is her normal fighting style. When hyped up on the "Power of Friendship" in Charlotte's barrier, she jumps recklessly into battle and freezes up when Charlotte transforms, leading to her getting eaten. In the interviews, it was stated that Mami is "Extremely powerful when she is alone".
*The character for her last name ( ) literally means "comma design," a Japanese swirl pattern. More info [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tomoe here].
+
*Her fighting style while fighting Charlotte's minions resembles the gun kata from the movie [[wikipedia:Equilibrium (movie)|Equilibrium]]. [[Gen Urobuchi]] is a fan of the movie and has written a fanfic about it, called [http://vndb.org/v1390 Jouka no Monshou]. 
*Her last name can also be used as a first name.
+
*The magic that Mami uses to summon muskets inside her skirt during her curtsy visually resembles the manner in which Roberta the Maid unloads grenades from her skirt in the manga/anime series ''Black Lagoon.'' In ''Bakemonogatari'' -- another anime by director Akiyuki Shinbo -- the heroine, Hitagi Senjōgahara, [http://www.japanator.com/bakemonogatari-hitagi-figure-has-an-awesome-skirt-13552.phtml|unloads office supplies from her skirt] for use as weapons in much the same way. Mami's use of muskets may also be inspired by Roberta; [[Gen Urobuchi]] was the writer of the novelizations of ''Black Lagoon''.
*Her first name is written in katakana, which has no particular meaning. When written in kanji, it can be read hundreds of ways, some of which are as follows:
+
*Mami's fatal weakness is that [[Nitro+ Q&A Panels at Animagic 2013|she can be taken down if she is not paying attention.]]
**graceful jewel (雅珠)
+
 
**light of love (愛光)
+
'''Related trivia and naming of moves'''
**true heart (真心)
+
*Mami names her attacks and announces them when she uses them. Her friends and fellow magical girls like to make fun of this habit.
**truth (真実)
+
**Kyoko in ''[[Drama CD 3|"Farewell Story"]]'', called Mami's naming to be "too embarrassing"
**sea of the heavens (天海)
+
**Madoka thought that was cool and wanted to name her own attacks as well in [[Drama CD 2|''"Sunny Day Life"'']] (but Homura discourages it).
**dancing beauty (舞美)
+
**Then there is the story in [[Puella Magi Madoka Magica Anthology 1]] by Kakeru, considered not canon but still a good case of why naming one's attack could be a bad idea.
**dancing light (舞光)
 
**polished beauty (磨美)
 
**sparkling purple (晶紫)
 
**magical beauty (魔美)
 
**magical charm/deceiving spirit (魔魅)
 
**very flaxen (麻深)
 
**beautiful jasmine (茉美)
 
**truth, beauty (真美)
 
**hemp, truth (麻実)
 
**hemp, beauty (麻美)
 
**white jasmine (茉美)
 
***Almost all the kanji examples above are not used commonly, and is unrealistic. One of the most commonly and traditionally used kanji for Mami is 麻美, used in the Chinese translation as shown below.
 
*The official [[Licensing in Taiwan|Chinese translation]] uses (麻美) "beautiful hemp" as the kanji for her first name. However, no official kanji of her name exists in the original Japanese version.
 
*She is the only character whose first name is written in katakana (contrasting with Madoka, Sayaka and Homura, whose names are written in Hiragana). This can have several implications: firstly, that "Mami" has foreign origins (in line with the "Western flavor" Ume Aoki gave to Mami's magical girl outfit); secondly, that Mami is much, ''much'' older than the other girls (an unlikely possibility, considering that katakana was used for girls' names ''prior'' to the Asia-Pacific War;  the cars in Mami's flashback in [[Episode 3]] look fairly modern)..
 
**It is fairly common to use katakana in first name, whether they are of foreign origin or not, especially in modern Japan. The name "Mami" is also fairly common, and it is unlikely that it is of a foreign origin. There is also no implication of Mami being "much older," the cannon information presented so far states that she is in 9th grade
 
**In Mami's case, it is not a traditional name, so that this discussion about naming rules prior to WW2 is not applicable directly.
 
**Finally, the creators may simply have been referencing another "Mami" character whose name was written in katakana. For example, the protagonist of the famous magical-girl anime ''Creamy Mami, the Magic Angel'' has her name written in katakana rather than hiragana or kanji.
 
 
*The finishing move Mami used on the witch [[Gertrud]] and later [[Charlotte]] voiced out as ''"Tiro Finale"'' which means "final shot" in Italian.

*As Mami's wish has something to do with ''"To connect to life"'', so it is highly likely that it gave her the power to "tie" and "combine" things together. Her ribbons can also produce guns and because she is a veteran, her fighting prowess extends beyond her original powers.
**Example: [[wikipedia:Esper_Mami|Esper Mami]] and [[wikipedia:Creamy_Mami,_the_Magic_Angel|Creamy Mami, the Magic Angel]].
+
*One possible explanation with regards to Mami's ribbon powers is that it is related to [[Wish_theories#Mami.27s_Wish|Mami's original wish]] and its relation to Buddhist beliefs. One of the ideas in Buddhism is that the life we are living right now is just a temporary phase. Death is not the end, instead it is the time for your soul to begin a new journey. And thus "wanting to live" equates to "have a lot of attachment to this world" under the Buddhist philosophy, rather than "fear of dying". Mami's wish was generated from her strong attachment to life, and her power took the form of a literal interpretation: to be able to tie things together.
* Mami won the 2011 Anime Saimoe.
+
**Ironically, after getting her wish granted [[NewType_2011-07#Mami_Character_Description|Mami gave up living a normal life]] and instead she focused on living as a magical girl. The [[Blu-Ray_Volume_5_Booklet#Mizubashi_Kaori_.28Tomoe_Mami.29_interview|crushing loneliness]] was sometimes too much for her.
* Mami is one of two characters who have speaking roles in all three series in the franchise (the second being Kyubey).
+
 
* In her short appearance in [[Kazumi Magica]], Mami is shown wearing white tights instead of dark tights. This matches her original design by [[Ume Aoki]], but not her finalized one from the anime.

===TV本篇及小说===
 +
Some time before the start of the anime, Mami made her wish after she was in a car accident with her parents. She was most likely very badly wounded, as her parents died on the scene, and Mami only survived due to making a wish with [[Kyubey]], who appeared at just that moment, leaving Mami little time to consider her wish. For some time after that, Mami fought to save people from witches by herself.
 +
 
 +
It is established in the prequel drama CD [[Drama CD 3|Farewell Story]] that approximately a year later, she meets [[Kyoko Sakura]], a girl who had made her wish at about the same time as Mami, but is far less experienced. Mami saves her from a powerful witch that was too much for Kyoko to defeat alone. Kyoko admires Mami's skill and ideals, and she is the first one Mami has met who thought in a similar way as she did. They become a team, fighting witches and saving people together. Mami meets [[Sakura Family|Kyoko's family]], and the two girls become very close.
 +
 
 +
Some time after they begin working together, Kyoko's father discovers that Kyoko had made her wish to give him followers for his church, which caused him to have a mental breakdown in which he killed himself and everyone in the family, except Kyoko. This event causes Kyoko to change idealistically, and she breaks her alliance with Mami, saying she will fight only for herself from now on. Mami thinks that she can change Kyoko's mind and refuses to let her go off alone, which leads to a clash between them in which they battle using their magic. Kyoko finishes the battle by forcing Mami to give up or seriously hurt her junior, and they separate for good. Mami is alone again except for Kyubey until the anime series starts.
  
==Observations==
+
At the end of Episode 1, Mami meets [[Madoka]] and [[Sayaka]] in the barrier of the witch [[Gertrud]]. She saves them from the familiars, chasing off the witch for the time being. [[Homura]] appears, and Mami advises her to chase after the witch to prevent an immediate conflict. Mami then introduces Madoka and Sayaka to Kyubey and explains the magical girl system, offering to bring them on her witch hunts to learn and experience the life of a magical girl. Acting as their mentor, she advises them to choose their wishes carefully. Mami searches for and defeats Gertrud upon their next encounter, saving the life of a woman committing suicide. She offers to share Gertrud's Grief Seed with Homura, but is rebuffed. Suspicious of Homura's motives in preventing Madoka from contracting, attempts to resolve differences with Homura fail.
[[File:Mami tea party cakes.jpg|right|300px|thumb|Mami sure loves her tea parties, just as much as she loves the company.]]
 
*Mami always use honorifics and call people by their surname.
 
**Given her status as a senior student and magical girl, both Madoka and Sayaka uses respectful tone when talking to Mami, and use the honorific '-san' with her first name (which is attributed to their close but respectful relationship). Both Kyoko and Homura has done the same in the past.
 
*She lives alone in an apartment after her parents died in a car accident. She used her wish to save her own life from the accident and feels guilty for forgetting about her parents in that moment of desperation.
 
*Mami does not regret making her wish, preferring life as a lonely magical girl to death. What she does seem to regret, however, is not having had more time to think over it. She tells Madoka to think carefully of her wish, as she wasn't able to; she also chastises Sayaka when she asks if the wish has to be for herself or someone else, asking her outright if she truly wants to help the other person ([[Kamijou]]) or wants him to be in debt with her instead.
 
*When assaulting Gertrud's barrier, Mami fights in a very focused and disciplined manner, choosing her shots carefully and reacting quickly when she gets into trouble. When hyped up on the Power of Friendship in Charlotte's barrier, she jumps recklessly into battle and freezes up when Charlotte transforms, leading to her getting eaten. In the interviews, it was stated that Mami is "Extremely powerful when she is alone".
 
*It's implied in the series that she knew [[Kyoko]], and may have learned what her wish was. In Episode 2, Mami talks about how magical girls can view each other as competition. She displays hidden eyes when saying this, suggesting she had a very bad personal experience. In Episode 3, after Kyubey says someone had previously made a wish for someone else, Mami claims that the wish didn't have a happy ending and again seems to have a pained expression. It seems in both cases she is talking about Kyoko, who views other magical girls as competition and who also made a wish for someone else. The [[Drama CD 3|drama CD "Farewell Story"]] released with Blu Ray Volume 5 confirms these implications with Kyoko and Mami having had a master-disciple relationship prior to the events of the anime. 
 
*Her fighting style while fighting Charlotte's minions resembles the gun kata from the movie [[wikipedia:Equilibrium (movie)|Equilibrium]]. [[Gen Urobuchi]] is a fan of the movie and has written a fanfic about it, called [http://vndb.org/v1390 Jouka no Monshou].
 
*The magic that Mami uses to summon muskets inside her skirt during her curtsy visually resembles the manner in which Roberta the Maid unloads grenades from her skirt in the manga/anime series ''Black Lagoon.'' In ''Bakemonogatari'' -- another anime by director Akiyuki Shinbo -- the heroine, Hitagi Senjōgahara, unloads office supplies from her skirt for use as weapons in much the same way. Mami's use of muskets may also be inspired by Roberta; [[Gen Urobuchi]] was the writer of the novelizations of ''Black Lagoon''.
 
*In episode 10, Mami from Timeline 1 seems to know that Walpurgis Night is coming. In episode 6, Kyoko implied that Walpurgis Night's approach cannot be predicted.
 
*Walpurgis looks different in timelines with Mami alive and in time lines where Mami is defeated by Charlotte. While she is defeated by Charlotte her Soulgem becomes corrupted, unattended, turning it into grief seed. This may be the source to Walpurgis's arrival. Mami knows about it approaching because she is depressed and slowly losing her heart, after Madoka encourages her she becomes over confident and reckless, which causes her to be easily caught off-guard. If Charlotte really consumes her soul gem, during birth of the witch from Mami's soul gem, Charlotte is consumed additionally empowering Mami's grief Seed. in Timelines where Mami is alive, Walpurgis looks different, which indicates that one way or another, Walpurgis will still arrive. Additionally, Walpurgis seems much stronger when Mami is defeated.
 
* While she appears to be mentally strong, Mami is much more emotionally frail than she seems to. In episode 3 Mami admits it openly in front of Madoka, and in the manga rendition of said scene she even says that she cries a lot when on her own, thus declaring that she is no real role model for anyone before Madoka tells her she's not alone.
 
** [[Megami_Magazine_2011-07|July's Megami]] acknowledges that the dependable onee-san image was a mask for Mami to get the courage to continue her role as a magical girl. It easily cumbled in episode 10.
 
** [[NewType_2011-07#Mami_Character_Description|July's NewType]] describes Mami's life to be a lonely one after losing her family and one of her choosing.
 
* In episode 10, learning the awful truth about magical girls after fighting Sayaka/Oktavia makes Mami from Timeline 3 lose her mind, since her whole view of the world is shattered. She breaks down in tears, kills Kyoko by shooting her Soul Gem, then wraps Homura in vines and tries to kill her in a similar manner, genuinely thinking that she is saving them from a fate worse than death. Madoka, however, destroys Mami's Soul Gem with a beam arrow and kills her to stop her rampage, before she and Homura go fight in Walpurgis Night.
 
**Mami may have been calmer than she first seemed, considering she did not despair and turn into a witch immediately. Her method of attack was also strategic, killing Kyoko, who is a close-range combat expert possessing high speed and agility first, tying up Homura so she cannot use her time manipulation, and leaving Madoka, who is timid and held much admiration for her (and thus was not expected to react so quickly), later.
 
**In "[[Key Animation Note|Key Animation Note Volume 5]],P194", Yukihiro Miyamoto (the series director of Puella Magi Madoka Magica) says that Mami binds Homura and kills Kyoko "in calm judgment."(He stated, "I like Mami's calm judgment. Firstly, she binds Homura who has the ability to manipulate time. Subsequently, she kills Kyoko who has the powerful offensive power. Mami's only miscalculation is that Madoka's mind is stronger than she assumed."). Considering the circumstances mentioned above, the producers of Puella Magi Madoka Magica insist that the Mami of Timeline 3 doesn't lose her mind in that occurrence. 
 
*[[Episode 10]] and, even further, the Blu-ray edition of [[Episode 2]], radically modify Mami's apartment. At first her apartment looked quite spartan reinforcing the idea that she is by herself with no one to support her (emphasizing her loneliness). Later revisions instead fill up her room with several items, beautifully decorated with nice furniture; the reason for this may be to display that she may come from a wealthy background.
 
**It is possible she inherited her family's assets and probably insurance money. The way she dresses and talks indicates that she comes from a wealthy family. The decorations at her place are consistent with that image.
 
*Mami and [[Madoka]] are the only magical girls known who are never seen having a mark on any of their fingernails (see a picture below). [[Homura]], [[Kyoko]] and [[Sayaka]] all have marks on their left middle fingers, matching the shape of the emblem of their respective Soul Gem. The meaning of that is unknown, speculations range from a production error to a connection to their wishes.
 
**It's a production error. Homura, Kyoko and Sayaka don't have their marks in every single shots showing that finger. Reading into it any more than that is silly.
 
**In [[Puella Magi Production Note]], Mami's character designs show that she does have a finger mark, so this can be confirmed as a production error.
 
*One of Mami's special abilities is her power to link and tie up things, she uses ribbons as special tools to capture her targets and restrain them.
 
**One possible explanation regarding Mami's ribbon powers is that it is related to [[Wish_theories#Mami.27s_Wish|Mami's original wish]] and its relation to Buddhist beliefs. One of the ideas in Buddhism is that the life we are living right now is just a temporary phase. Death is not the end, instead it's the time for your soul to begin a new journey. And thus "wanting to live" is equal to "have a lot of attachment to this world" in Buddhist expression, rather than "fear of dying". Mami's wish was generated from her strong attachment to life, and her power took the form of literal attachment: being able to tie things together.
 
***Ironically, after getting her wish granted [[NewType_2011-07#Mami_Character_Description|Mami gave up living a normal life]] and instead she focused on living as a magical girl. The [[Blu-Ray_Volume_5_Booklet#Mizubashi_Kaori_.28Tomoe_Mami.29_interview|crushing loneliness]] was sometimes too much for her.
 
*Her friends and fellow magical girls like to make fun of Mami's naming habit of her attacks, specially Kyoko. The only one who thinks that is cool is Madoka and she wants to name her own attacks as well (but Homura will make certain that that doesn't happen, specially in [[Drama CD 2|''"Sunny Day Life"'']]).
 
**Mami was mocked again by Kyoko in ''[[Drama CD 3|"Farewell Story"]]'', calling Mami's naming to be too embarrassing.
 
**Then there is the story in [[Puella Magi Madoka Magica Anthology 1]] by Kakeru, considered not canon but still a good case of why naming one's attack could be a bad idea.
 
*According to Mami, she regrets that she never thought her wish carefully as she was under duress at the time.
 
**In the [[Drama CD 3|Drama CD ''"Farewell Story"'']] she muses that it must be wonderful to make a wish for someone else's happiness.
 
***It is suspected that Mami regrets her wish because she didnt think of saving her parents. Some suspect that she feels guilty about it because she was only thinking about herself.
 
  
==Speculation==
+
When entering [[Charlotte|Charlotte's]] [[Barrier|barrier]], Mami and Madoka are confronted by Homura, who volunteers to take down Charlotte. Mami, still suspicious of Homura, ignores her warning that Charlotte is different from most witches and ties her up with ''Regale''. After Madoka agrees to contract, she was overwhelmed by the realisation that she would be no longer be fighting alone. Drunk on the "Power of Friendship", she is careless and reckless in her battle with Charlotte and is killed.
*The exact phrasing of Mami's wish is currently unknown. It's possible that she wished not to "die alone", and thus died in episode three because the terms of her contract/wish were fulfilled. According to the manga, she simply asked Kyubey to "save her" during her car accident, but whether this is canonical for the anime is unknown. However, this is theory is called into question when she is shown alive and well in Time Line 3, when all of Madoka, Sayaka, Homura and Kyoko are her magical girl colleagues.
 
  
*It is possible that Mami may be able to be brought back to life without a wish. This is due to the body of a magical girl merely being the "husk" and that the soul is what keeps them alive; as long as her Soul Gem can be found, her life may be able to be restored. There is a catch, however: Mami's soul gem takes the form of a hairpin, and it was the first thing to be crushed in episode 3.
+
As revealed in episode 10, Mami has had multiple different demises in different timelines. Her death in the first timeline was when fighting Walpurgis Night.  In the third timeline, upon learning about the fate of Puella Magi, Mami decides to kill her companions and herself before they can become witches, and Madoka kills her in order to save Homura and herself.<br />
  
*While Mami does not appear in Timeline 4, circumstance seems to imply that she was killed by Charlotte. In both Timeline 4 and Timeline 5, Madoka does not immediately contract with Kyubey, and Homura in Timeline 4 was determined to battle the witches by herself. Without any meaningful back-up, Mami failed to realize that Charlotte made use of a decoy doll until it was too late. This may have been what Homura meant when she tries to warn Mami in Episode 3 that Charlotte is different from the witches she'd dealt with so far.
+
'''New World'''<br />
**That does not explain how Mami was able to defeat Charlotte in Oriko Magica though.
 
***It is speculated that the Oriko timeline is an anomaly and as such perhaps Mami's survival is also an anomaly as well. 
 
*Because Mami's death has such a big impact on Madoka and Sayaka, many fans speculate that Kyubey intended to have Mami killed in order to force Madoka and/or Sayaka to become magical girls. This is somewhat evidenced by the fact that Kyubey is later demonstrated as having a longer range of communication than Madoka and Sayaka originally think. That Kyubey figures Homura out so quickly (but never tells about it) reinforces this theory, as it is quite possible that Kyubey created a false rivalry between Mami and Homura to this specific end.
 
**It is therefore possible (though not probable) that he may have done this to Mami from the very beginning. We never see the details of the car crash that almost killed her, and therefore the possibility arises that Kyubey deliberately left a Grief Seed somewhere close enough to the car to create the accident.
 
**This isn't the only time that Kyubey would sacrifice a magical girl as a pawn to force Madoka's hand to make her wish. He uses his cunning again to get {{spoiler|Kyoko}} killed to force Homura to fight Walpurgis Night on her own knowing that she would fail. Kyubey calculates that this will force Madoka to make her wish to save the city.
 
*Mami can be considered to be the second most powerful magical girl in the mainline series, an observation which is easily backed up by the casual and cool attitude she adopts when engaging in witch hunts. This is also supplemented by her near perfect accuracy (scoring a perfect hit on Charlotte's small body at a distance), extremely quick draw (clearly shown when battling Charlotte's minions), the potency of her magical bullets (killing Kyoko with a single shot) and the sheer raw power of her signature Tiro Finale finishing maneuver. In fact, there is speculation that Mami could potentially be the ''most'' powerful magical girl to exist in the mainline series if not for Homura actively mucking around with time and giving Madoka a huge amount of cosmic karma in the process.
 
**Interview with Urobuchi Gen, as well as the dialogue between Sayaka and Kyubey in the episode 6 of the anime and the manga seem to give support to the idea that Mami is the second most powerful magical girl in the main series. However, it should be noted that they only refer to each of the member's 潜在能力 (potentials), and thus it is possible that other members, through training and experience, may be more powerful.
 
**The idea that Mami is the second most powerful is up to debate. In the [[Drama CD 3|Drama CD ''"Farewell Story"'']] Kyoko displays a brutal strength superior to that of Mami (albeit one can argue that Kyoko's brute force makes up for her lack of style and strategy). While it is true that Kyoko was defeated in [[Episode 10]] with one single bullet to her Soul Gem, we must take into account that Mami caught Kyoko completely off-guard. Such act would display that Mami is a skilled shooter and quick minded, but it says nothing regarding her measure of power or strength. Nor one can make an argument that the ease of destroying of a Soul Gem is evidence of superior power for there is not enough information to determine the fragility of Soul Gems. In fact a normal bullet from a normal gun can shatter a Soul Gem as demonstrated in the Oriko manga Volume 2. So it is possible to suspect that a Soul Gem will remain equally fragile to other soul gems regardless of the strength and power of the owner. It is suspected that Mami's laid back attitude and her friendliness can be attributed as a weakness that caused her defeated in [[Drama CD 3|Drama CD ''"Farewell Story"'']] and her carelessness in [[Episode 3]].
 
**Given the situation, it is difficult to assess whether Mami has fought at her full strength in her battle with Kyoko. Also, a fight between magical girls may not be the best way to measure each of their strength, as their fighting style, abilities, and magics are diverse enough for it to give significant advantage/disadvantage depending on the match up. For example, Kirika's slowing abilities are devastating against Mami (see second volume of Puella Magi Oriko Magika), while Homura's time manipulation is useless when tied up in Mami's ribbon (episode 3 of the main series). It has also been noted that though Mami has great magical potential, the magical ability given to her by her wish (the ribbons) is not suited for combat as opposed to other magical girls (such as Kyouko's Rosso Fantasma, Homura's time manipulation, and Sayaka's super healing). Thus, she chiefly uses magic she attained later on, and may not have been as powerful of a combatant in the past. 
 
**Additionally, in episode 10, timeline 1, Mami herself says that Madoka may soon eclipse her as a Magical Girl. She could be trying to appear modest, but this is reinforced by the reality that Mami did not survive the initial encounter with Walpurgis Night, while Madoka did. Regardless, it is indisputable that Mami is one of the most seasoned / "elite" (Oriko Magica) of the Magical Girls encountered in the series.
 
***There are degrees of strength and power that can't be easily measured given the diverse nature of magical powers in different girls. It would be more accurate to say that Mami is the most experienced magical girl, but not the most powerful.

Prior to the events of the movie, the Incubators trapped Homura's Soul Gem in an Isolation Field that blocks the Law of Cycles. Homura creates a witch barrier inside her own Soul Gem, which is an idealized version of Mitakihara. Along with Kyoko and other characters, Mami is taken into the barrier and has her memories altered.
 +
 
 +
Within the barrier, Mami is still a student at Mitakihara Middle School and fights with the other magical girls against [[Nightmares]], monsters created by the barrier in order to provide the magical girls with opponents. However, Mami is now living with [[Bebe]], a creature that resembles the witch [[Charlotte]]. Due to her altered memories, Mami believes that Bebe was the first friend she made after becoming a magical girl, and credits Bebe for keeping her from being lonely. While Bebe reciprocates Mami's friendship, in reality she is actually [[Nagisa Momoe]], the magical girl who became Charlotte. Nagisa entered the barrier from the Law of Cycles and disguised herself as her witch form as part of Madoka's plan to stop the Incubators from achieving their goals.
 +
 
 +
Eventually Homura begins to realize that the false Mitakihara is actually a witch's barrier (while unaware of being the witch in question). She immediately suspects Bebe, recognizing her as Charlotte. In order to question Bebe, Homura goes to Mami's house with Madoka and has tea with them. After talking with Mami for a little while, Homura contrives to get Mami to leave the room they're in by asking for more tea. However, Mami has become suspicious of Homura and ties her ribbon to Homura's leg, making her immune to Homura's time stops. Homura then stops time and questions Bebe, eventually leaving Mami's apartment to interrogate Bebe further. At this point Mami appears to confront Homura. In fact, it is later revealed that this is actually a ribbon duplicate under Mami's control. The duplicate rescues Bebe and questions Homura. Homura attempts to convince "Mami" that Bebe is tricking her, but isn't believed. Since the ribbon tied to Homura's leg vanishes when she tries to shoot it, Homura and the duplicate then proceed to have a gun duel with time alternately starting and stopping. Homura is eventually able to shoot a bullet through the ribbon while it is materialized, freezing the duplicate Mami in time. She aims to attack Mami's Soul Gem, but then decides to incapacitate her instead by shooting her leg. As this point the duplicate falls apart into ribbons and entraps Homura.
 +
 
 +
Once again, Mami asks Homura about her motivations. Homura insists that Bebe is a witch. Mami responds by saying she doesn't know what a witch is, but begins remembering that the monster she fights are supposed to be wraiths, not Nightmares. At this point Sayaka rescues Homura by using the smoke from a fire hydrant; when Mami clears the smoke she finds Homura is gone. She then finds that Bebe has transformed back into Nagisa Momoe. Nagisa apologizes for deceiving Mami and explains to her the truth of the situation.
 +
 
 +
Eventually Homura realizes she is the witch and transforms into [[Homulilly]]. In the ensuing battle, Mami fights off Homulilly's familiars so that Madoka and Nagisa can break through Homulilly's barrier and expose Kyubey's Isolation Field. Madoka then reaches out to Homura's remaining humanity and together they destroy the Field from within, causing the barrier to vanish.
 +
 
 +
Back in the real world, Mami place Homura's Soul Gem on her body, and watches as Madoka, Sayaka and Nagisa descend from the sky to take Homura into the Law of Cycles. Just as Madoka is about to touch Homura's Soul Gem, Homura grabs onto her hands and begins altering the universe. Mami is engulfed by the colors that spill out of Homura's Soul Gem and spread out over the universe.
 +
 
 +
Homura, now calling herself a demon, creates a new world. In this world, Mami is initially seen in her school uniform on the road to Mitakihara Middle School. She holds out her hand to catch falling cherry blossoms. Homura, who is sitting in a chair behind Mami, reaches her hand forward, pushing a tea cup out of the way. Mami turns around and see no-one there, and finds that she's caught a black feather instead of a cherry blossom.
 +
 
 +
At the end of the movie Mami is shown rescuing Nagisa from falling packages of cheese, indicating that they will become friends again in Homura's new universe.

===魔法少女小圆 the different story===
 +
The beginning of [[The Different Story]] follows the drama CD [[Drama CD 3|Farewell Story]] rather faithfully until the end of the first volume, where it begins a new timeline. In this timeline, Mami survives her battle with Charlotte, and intervenes in the fight where Kyoko and Sayaka first meet.
 +
 
 +
Sayaka made a contract just in time to save Mami from being killed by Charlotte, and from then on, the two partner up to battle witches. When Sayaka is distracted during a fight, causing Mami to get hurt, Sayaka begins to lose confidence in herself as a "defender of justice".
 +
 
 +
Sayaka feels guilty over letting Mami's refusal to blame her, and Sayaka tells her that she want to quit. She doesn't think she's worthy of being Mami's partner after ignoring Hitomi and her odd behavior, which she didn't realize at the time was caused because of a witch's kiss. Mami tries to reason with her, but Sayaka responds that she won't respect Mami anymore if she still wants to partner with Sayaka.
 +
 
 +
When Mami catches up to Sayaka and saves her from the witch [[Elsa Maria]], admitting to her junior that she is a selfish and lonely girl who can't stand being alone. Mami decides to quit being "a champion of justice" for Sayaka. She wants Sayaka back as her partner, which Sayaka claims makes her happy, just as her Soul Gem explodes and she becomes the witch [[Oktavia von Seckendorff]]. Mami escapes the barrier, and Kyubey reveals to her that it's the fault of Kyoko, Homura and Mami herself that Sayaka became a witch.
 +
 
 +
When Mami learns the truth of the magical girl system, she spends a while thinking on her past interactions with other magical girls. Reference is made to her encounter with [[Michiru Kazusa]] from [[Kazumi Magica]], the new magical girls from the fist volume, and Kyoko's past with Mami in this flashback. Mami is so badly shaken that she decides to die with Oktavia. When Kyoko comes to stop her, she fights Kyoko without reserving her magic. It seems that she ties up Kyoko and kills her.
 +
 
 +
When Mami open's Oktavia's barrier, her magic exhaused and she is knocked to the ground. Her Soul Gem is rapidly darkening and she has little strength left. Mami flashbacks again to her past with Kyoko, which morphs into a hallucination where a younger version of herself (implied to be [[Candeloro]]) comes to her with visions of a witch's barrier and familiars that look like Kyoko and Sayaka. She thinks, "If I become a witch, I'll be able to make everyone stay by me always."
 +
 
 +
When Mami wakes up from this dream, Kyoko appears, showing that the Kyoko that was killed by Mami was just an illusion created with magic. Mami requests Kyoko to kill her since she is about to become a witch. Kyoko confesses to her that she think Mami as her sister. Mami sees Kyoko using a Grief Seed to cleanse her Soul Gem before leaving to fight Oktavia.

Mami next wakes up in her apartment, where she is greeted with a hug by Madoka and sees Homura. Homura was the one to find Mami on the street and take her home. Madoka leaves, and Homura and Mami talk about what happened. Kyubey comes to tell them that Kyoko is dead. He also admit that it is beneficial to him if both Mami and Kyoko become witches. Hearing that, Mami summons a piston from her Soul Gem, pointing it at Kyubey, ready to shoot him. But Kyubey depresses her, and then Homura slaps her, saying that she is too easy to be provoked. Then Homura seeks her help to fight Walpurgis.

*Given her status as a senior student and magical girl, both Madoka and Sayaka use a respectful tone when talking to Mami, and the honorific '-san' with her first name (which is attributed to their close but respectful relationship). Both Kyoko and Homura did the same in the past.
 +
 
 +
*It was implied in the series that she knew [[Kyoko]] and learnt what her wish was. In Episode 2, Mami talks about how magical girls can view each other as competition. She displays hidden eyes when saying this, suggesting she had a very bad personal experience. In Episode 3, after Kyubey said that someone had previously made a wish for someone else, Mami claims that the wish didn't have a happy ending and has a pained expression. It seems that she is talking about Kyoko in both cases, who views other magical girls as competition and who also made a wish for someone else. The [[Drama CD 3|drama CD "Farewell Story"]] confirmed this with Kyoko and Mami having had a master-disciple relationship prior to the events of the anime.

*In episode 6, Kyoko implied that Walpurgis Night's approach cannot be predicted. However, in episode 10, Mami from Timeline 1 seems to know that Walpurgis Night is coming.

* While she appears to be mentally strong, Mami is emotionally much frailer than she seems to be.

** [[Megami_Magazine_2011-07|July's Megami]] acknowledges that the dependable onee-san image was a mask for Mami to get the courage to continue her role as a magical girl. It crumbled in episode 10.

** [[NewType_2011-07#Mami_Character_Description|July's NewType]] describes Mami's life to be a lonely one after losing her family and one of her choosing.
 +
'''Mami's actions in Timeline 3'''
 +
* In episode 10, learning the awful truth about magical girls after fighting Sayaka/Oktavia makes Mami from Timeline 3 lose her mind, since her whole view of the world is shattered. She breaks down in tears, killing Kyoko by shooting her Soul Gem, then wraps Homura in ribbons and tries to kill her, genuinely thinking that she is saving them from a fate worse than death. Madoka, destroys Mami's Soul Gem with a beam arrow, killing her to stop her rampage.
 +
[[File:Key Animation Note Vol 5 195-194.jpg|thumb]]
 +
**In "[[Key Animation Note|Key Animation Note Volume 5]],P194", Yukihiro Miyamoto (the series director of Puella Magi Madoka Magica) says that Mami binds Homura and kills Kyoko "in calm judgment." Mami thus may have been calmer than she first seemed, especially since she did not despair and turn into a witch immediately. Her method of attack was also strategic. She began by killing Kyoko, who is a close-range combat expert possessing high speed and agility, then tying up Homura to prevent her from using time manipulation and leaving Madoka, who is timid and held much admiration for her (and thus was not expected to react so quickly) to last. Thus it is likely that Mami of Timeline 3 doesn't actually lose her mind.
 +
***Yukihiro Miyamoto's quote is "I like Mami's calm judgment. Firstly, she binds Homura who has the ability to manipulate time. Subsequently, she kills Kyoko who has the powerful offensive power. Mami's only miscalculation is that Madoka's mind is stronger than she assumed."
 +
****In "The different story", Kyoko is not member of Mami's party and Mami quits being "a champion of justice" for Sayaka. Therefore, there is a possibility that same situations occur in Timeline 3. If they are, "Mami's act in Timeline 3" has logical means. In short, Kyoko is not a friend (It means that there is no reason that Mami forbids herself from shooting Kyoko.), Mami has no reason to live (Because, Mami quit being "a champion of justice" for Sayaka and Sayaka is lost.), and Homura kills Sayaka (Oktavia) in front of Mami (It means that Mami has a reason to kill Homura).
 +
****In "The different story", Mami does not fall into insanity and turns into the witch immediately after she knows the truth of the soulgem. So in Timeline 3, Mami may not fall insanity when she knows the truth of the soulgem.
 +
 +
'''Mami's wealth'''
 +
*[[Episode 10]], the Bonus CD and the Blu-ray edition of [[Episode 2]] radically modify [[Mami's Residence|Mami's apartment]]. In the early episodes, her apartment looked rather desolate, reinforcing the idea that she lives by herself with no one to support her, emphasizing her loneliness. The later revisions fill her room with beautifully decorated objects and very nice furniture (and it's also implied that it is a two-story accommodation with an internal staircase). This may be to reinforce her rich background
 +
 
 +
*It is likely that Mami inherited her family's assets and probably insurance money. The way she dresses and talks, as well as her Ojou Ringlets, indicates that she comes from a wealthy family. The decorations at her place are consistent with that image.
 +
** Homura also says in episode 4 that Mami has no other relatives left, therefore she doesn't seem to have any family members telling her what to do with whatever money/possessions she inherited from her dead parents. There are also no mentions of unrelated legal tutors appointed by law.
 +
** Mami's apartment appears to be rather large, and is clearly a maisonette in subsequent revisions. Japan, being a very densely populated nation has some of the highest real estate prices in the world. To own and mantain such a large flat in Japan, let alone in a downtown zone of a large city, means the Tomoes must have had quite a bit of money. On the other hand, every person in the anime seems to have large houses.
 +
'''Mami's fingernail mark'''
 +
*Mami and [[Madoka]] are the only magical girls known who are never seen having a mark on any of their fingernails (see a picture below). [[Homura]], [[Kyoko]] and [[Sayaka]] all have marks on their left middle fingers, matching the shape of the emblem of their respective Soul Gem. The meaning of that is unknown and speculations range from a production error to a connection to their wishes.
 +
**It's a production error. Homura, Kyoko and Sayaka don't have their marks in every single shots showing that finger. Reading into it any more than that is silly.
 +
**In the [[Puella Magi Production Note|Production Note]], Mami's character designs show that she is supposed to have a finger mark, so this can be confirmed as a production error.
 +
 
 +
==Speculation==
 +
*For a while, hope was held out that Mami could still be "brought back" to life without a wish. Since the body of a magical girl is merely the "husk", as long as her Soul Gem is still intact, she might [[Tweets#Gen_Urobuchi.2C_Script_Writer|still be alive]] since the soul is still within it. That was until it was realised that Mami's soul gem takes the form of a hairpin and it was crushed/eaten with Mami's head by Charlotte in episode 3 .
 +
 
 +
*Walpurgis looks different in timelines with Mami alive and in time lines where Mami is defeated by Charlotte. While she is defeated by Charlotte her Soulgem becomes corrupted, unattended, turning it into grief seed. This may be the source to Walpurgis's arrival. Mami knows about it approaching because she is depressed and slowly losing her heart, after Madoka encourages her she becomes over confident and reckless, which causes her to be easily caught off-guard. If Charlotte really consumes her soul gem, during birth of the witch from Mami's soul gem, Charlotte is consumed additionally empowering Mami's grief Seed. in Timelines where Mami is alive, Walpurgis looks different, which indicates that one way or another, Walpurgis will still arrive. Additionally, Walpurgis seems much stronger when Mami is defeated.
 +
**This could simply be because of other reasons such as Homura making changes in the timeline (and killing a different number of witches).
 +
*Mami Tomoe and Charlotte could be linked to the story “Hansel and Gretel". In most versions of this story, Gretel is portrayed as a girl with blonde hair in two braids or curls, similar to Mami’s. The witch in Hansel and Gretel lives in a house made of gingerbread, cake and candy, similar to Charlotte’s barrier. The witch’s intent is to eat the children, which is also like Charlotte’s behavior.
 +
*Mami Tomoe could be compared to a shepherdess. Similar to her nature, sheep do not like being left alone by themselves and prefer to be in a herd or group of others. Mami treats her friends with great care and tries to guide them in the right direction, like a shepherdess and her sheep. In her {{Spoiler|witch}} form {{Spoiler|(Candeloro)}}, her bonnet, bows, and striped 'stockings' also resemble that of Little Bo Peep’s.
 +
'''Mami's fate in Timeline 4'''
 +
*While Mami does not appear in Timeline 4, circumstance seems to imply that she was killed by Charlotte. In both Timeline 4 and Timeline 5, Madoka does not immediately contract with Kyubey, and Homura in Timeline 4 was determined to battle the witches by herself. Without any meaningful back-up, Mami failed to realize that Charlotte made use of a decoy doll until it was too late. This may have been what Homura meant when she tries to warn Mami in Episode 3 that Charlotte is different from the witches she'd dealt with so far.
 +
**That does not explain how Mami was able to defeat Charlotte in Oriko Magica though.
 +
***It is speculated that the Oriko timeline is an anomaly and as such perhaps Mami's survival is also an anomaly as well.
 +
 
 +
'''Kyubey set up Mami's death!'''
 +
*Because Mami's death has such a big impact on Madoka and Sayaka, many fans speculate that Kyubey intended to have Mami killed in order to force Madoka and/or Sayaka to become magical girls. This is somewhat evidenced by the fact that Kyubey is later demonstrated as having a longer range of communication than Madoka and Sayaka originally think. That Kyubey figures Homura out so quickly (but never tells about it) reinforces this theory, as it is quite possible that Kyubey created a false rivalry between Mami and Homura to this specific end.
 +
**It is therefore possible (though not probable) that he may have done this to Mami from the very beginning. We never see the details of the car crash that almost killed her, and therefore the possibility arises that Kyubey deliberately left a Grief Seed somewhere close enough to the car to create the accident.
 +
**This isn't the only time that Kyubey would sacrifice a magical girl as a pawn to force Madoka's hand to make her wish. He used his cunning again to get {{spoiler|Kyoko}} killed to force Homura to fight Walpurgis Night on her own knowing that she would fail. Kyubey calculates that this will force Madoka to make her wish to save the city.

Mami Tomoe is a magical girl who rescues Madoka and Sayaka from a witch in episode 1. She is already contracted to Kyubey and offers to act as a mentor to the pair should they choose to become magical girls. She is a powerful veteran who fights with summoned muskets and ribbons, as well as a ladylike older sister figure who enjoys tea. Mami, eager to acquire new friends, demonstrates the glory and heady thrill of magical heroism, but also shows Madoka and Sayaka the terrible danger inherent in going into the teeth of a witch's domain.

In the spin-off manga Puella Magi Madoka Magica: The Different Story, Mami serves as the main protagonist alongside Kyoko Sakura.

    • "Magical girl outfit: Mami’s design was definitely centered around her image as a gunner. The second thing that stands out are her breasts." (Aoki)
    • "Her bustier and boots give her a western flavor which her cap accentuates."
    • "School uniform: Her style stands out even in uniform. Just as Ms. Aoki says, her breasts are the largest of the four. She wears pure white tights." (However, in the final design, she's seen wearing dark brown tights.)

以下来自puella-magi维基:

  • During the Episode 3 Blu-ray commentary, the seiyuus Aoi Yuuki (Madoka), Chiwa Saito (Homura), and Kaori Mizuhashi (Mami) agreed that "Mami" is a very mahou shoujo name.
  • In her short appearance in Kazumi Magica, Mami is shown wearing white tights instead of dark tights. This matches her original design by Ume Aoki, but not her finalized one from the anime.
  • Mami wears regular panties. Fan artists often imagine her wearing seductive lingerie, but the real Mami is more of an innocent schoolgirl in this respect. Even if she's a bit lonely, she likes to show off on the battlefield, but she is not doing it for the boys/fans.
  • In an interview with Kirara Magica, Mizuhashi Kaori (Mami's seyuu) believes Mami's death makes her memorable.
    • Incidentally, the Mami character archetype helped Mizuhashi Kaori to try something different from her usual voice acting roles.
      • "Sometimes I wonder, "if I didn't accept Mami-san, what would I be doing now?" Those thoughts make me shudder. Not able to escape being typecast-ed is a terrible thing."


Wish

"If you want to make a wish for someone else, then you really need to take the time to think about what you actually want."
"Miki-san, do you really want to make his dream to come true? Or do you just want to be his benefactor? The two may sound the same, but they are actually completely different."
- Mami Tomoe, Episode 3.

  • The exact phrasing of Mami's wish is currently unknown, as there are multiple conflicting versions of it from official sources (and no flat-out phrasing):
    • According to the manga adaptation, she simply asked Kyubey to "save her" during her car accident, but whether this is canonical for the anime is unknown.
    • According to a magazine interview, Mami's wish has something to do with "To connect to life".
    • According to The Different Story manga, she wished to "live on".
  • There are several theories regarding the exact phrasing of Mami's wish and its relation to her powers.
  • Mami does not regret making her wish, preferring life as a lonely magical girl to death. What she does seem to regret, however, is not having had more time to think over it. She tells Madoka to think carefully of her wish, as she wasn't able to; she also chastises Sayaka when she asks if the wish has to be for herself or someone else, asking her outright if she truly wants to help the other person (Kamijou) or wants him to be in debt with her instead.
    • According to Mami, what she does regret is that she did not think her wish carefully as she was under duress at the time.
    • In the Drama CD "Farewell Story" she muses that it must be wonderful to make a wish for someone else's happiness.
      • It is revealed in The Different Story that Mami regrets her wish because she didn't think of saving her parents in her moment of desperation. Some suspect that she feels guilty about it because she was only thinking about herself.

Weapons, Abilities and Fighting Style

File:Mami rifles ep1.png
Who needs guns that can fire more than once when you can do this?

Mami is a veteran and is the most experienced magical girl in Madoka Magica, with Kyubey claiming in Episode 4 that that was the reason why she could afford to battle familiars as well as witches. However, whether she is the most powerful magical girl (discounting Ultimate Madoka), is up to debate.

  • Mami's primary weapons are percussion-lock rifled muskets, which she can summon in large numbers and are fired by hand, remotely or are used as a melee weapon. Expended bullets can summon strings to ensnare the foe.
  • Mami's weapon which she uses for her finishing move, Tiro Finale, is an enormous percussion lock cannon. The cannon and the method of use seems to vary each time she summmons it, implying that she probably creates it to match what she has in mind then.
  • Mami also uses ribbons which she can use to bind enemies. She extends them from her clothing or summons them out of the air.
    • Both Mami's guns and bullets are made of ribbons, her original magical ability.

For more details on Mami's weapons and their use, see Weapons

Fighting style

  • As when she assaulted Gertrud's barrier, Mami fights in a very focused and disciplined manner, choosing her shots carefully and reacting quickly when she gets into trouble. Presumably, this is her normal fighting style. When hyped up on the "Power of Friendship" in Charlotte's barrier, she jumps recklessly into battle and freezes up when Charlotte transforms, leading to her getting eaten. In the interviews, it was stated that Mami is "Extremely powerful when she is alone".
  • Her fighting style while fighting Charlotte's minions resembles the gun kata from the movie Equilibrium. Gen Urobuchi is a fan of the movie and has written a fanfic about it, called Jouka no Monshou.
  • The magic that Mami uses to summon muskets inside her skirt during her curtsy visually resembles the manner in which Roberta the Maid unloads grenades from her skirt in the manga/anime series Black Lagoon. In Bakemonogatari -- another anime by director Akiyuki Shinbo -- the heroine, Hitagi Senjōgahara, office supplies from her skirt for use as weapons in much the same way. Mami's use of muskets may also be inspired by Roberta; Gen Urobuchi was the writer of the novelizations of Black Lagoon.
  • Mami's fatal weakness is that she can be taken down if she is not paying attention.

Related trivia and naming of moves

  • Mami names her attacks and announces them when she uses them. Her friends and fellow magical girls like to make fun of this habit.
    • Kyoko in "Farewell Story", called Mami's naming to be "too embarrassing"
    • Madoka thought that was cool and wanted to name her own attacks as well in "Sunny Day Life" (but Homura discourages it).
    • Then there is the story in Puella Magi Madoka Magica Anthology 1 by Kakeru, considered not canon but still a good case of why naming one's attack could be a bad idea.
  • The finishing move Mami used on the witch Gertrud and later Charlotte voiced out as "Tiro Finale" which means "final shot" in Italian.
    • Which sounds suspiciously similar to "Last Shooting", the attack which the RX-78-2 Gundam used in the first Gundam anime after it... lost its head.
    • Another of Mami's special attacks is her "Tiro Volley" as heard in the Drama CD"Farewell Story".
    • Mami has a magical attack where she uses her ribbons to tie up and restrain her target, it is called "Regale", which means "gift" in Italian (possibly a corruption of "Legare", Italian for "tie up"). The name of the attack was first mentioned in the PSP game, and was later mentioned again in the Drama CD 4, "Summer Magical Girl Training Camp!!"
    • In the official Italian dub version of the anime, Mami says "Final Shoot" in English, instead of Italian.
  • As Mami's wish has something to do with "To connect to life", so it is highly likely that it gave her the power to "tie" and "combine" things together. Her ribbons can also produce guns and because she is a veteran, her fighting prowess extends beyond her original powers.
  • One possible explanation with regards to Mami's ribbon powers is that it is related to Mami's original wish and its relation to Buddhist beliefs. One of the ideas in Buddhism is that the life we are living right now is just a temporary phase. Death is not the end, instead it is the time for your soul to begin a new journey. And thus "wanting to live" equates to "have a lot of attachment to this world" under the Buddhist philosophy, rather than "fear of dying". Mami's wish was generated from her strong attachment to life, and her power took the form of a literal interpretation: to be able to tie things together.

TV本篇及小说

Some time before the start of the anime, Mami made her wish after she was in a car accident with her parents. She was most likely very badly wounded, as her parents died on the scene, and Mami only survived due to making a wish with Kyubey, who appeared at just that moment, leaving Mami little time to consider her wish. For some time after that, Mami fought to save people from witches by herself.

It is established in the prequel drama CD Farewell Story that approximately a year later, she meets Kyoko Sakura, a girl who had made her wish at about the same time as Mami, but is far less experienced. Mami saves her from a powerful witch that was too much for Kyoko to defeat alone. Kyoko admires Mami's skill and ideals, and she is the first one Mami has met who thought in a similar way as she did. They become a team, fighting witches and saving people together. Mami meets Kyoko's family, and the two girls become very close.

Some time after they begin working together, Kyoko's father discovers that Kyoko had made her wish to give him followers for his church, which caused him to have a mental breakdown in which he killed himself and everyone in the family, except Kyoko. This event causes Kyoko to change idealistically, and she breaks her alliance with Mami, saying she will fight only for herself from now on. Mami thinks that she can change Kyoko's mind and refuses to let her go off alone, which leads to a clash between them in which they battle using their magic. Kyoko finishes the battle by forcing Mami to give up or seriously hurt her junior, and they separate for good. Mami is alone again except for Kyubey until the anime series starts.

At the end of Episode 1, Mami meets Madoka and Sayaka in the barrier of the witch Gertrud. She saves them from the familiars, chasing off the witch for the time being. Homura appears, and Mami advises her to chase after the witch to prevent an immediate conflict. Mami then introduces Madoka and Sayaka to Kyubey and explains the magical girl system, offering to bring them on her witch hunts to learn and experience the life of a magical girl. Acting as their mentor, she advises them to choose their wishes carefully. Mami searches for and defeats Gertrud upon their next encounter, saving the life of a woman committing suicide. She offers to share Gertrud's Grief Seed with Homura, but is rebuffed. Suspicious of Homura's motives in preventing Madoka from contracting, attempts to resolve differences with Homura fail.

When entering Charlotte's barrier, Mami and Madoka are confronted by Homura, who volunteers to take down Charlotte. Mami, still suspicious of Homura, ignores her warning that Charlotte is different from most witches and ties her up with Regale. After Madoka agrees to contract, she was overwhelmed by the realisation that she would be no longer be fighting alone. Drunk on the "Power of Friendship", she is careless and reckless in her battle with Charlotte and is killed.

As revealed in episode 10, Mami has had multiple different demises in different timelines. Her death in the first timeline was when fighting Walpurgis Night. In the third timeline, upon learning about the fate of Puella Magi, Mami decides to kill her companions and herself before they can become witches, and Madoka kills her in order to save Homura and herself.

New World

"She is gone. Guided away by the "Law of Cycles"." - Mami Tomoe, Episode 12.

  • Mami's death is negated in Episode 12 when Madoka's wish changes the laws of the universe. She now works together with Homura and Kyoko to defeat demons.
  • Little is known about Mami in the new world created by Madoka's wish, but she is aware of something called the "Law of Cycles", suggesting that she is aware of the facts and consequences of becoming a magical girl.
    • Gen Urobuchi explains that the "Law of Cycles" is a legend that is passed down orally among the magical girls. Urobuchi states that Mami would not be the only one who knew about it, Kyoko and perhaps Sayaka knew about it as well.

新剧场版

Warning, this section contains spoilers about the movie.

Prior to the events of the movie, the Incubators trapped Homura's Soul Gem in an Isolation Field that blocks the Law of Cycles. Homura creates a witch barrier inside her own Soul Gem, which is an idealized version of Mitakihara. Along with Kyoko and other characters, Mami is taken into the barrier and has her memories altered.

Within the barrier, Mami is still a student at Mitakihara Middle School and fights with the other magical girls against Nightmares, monsters created by the barrier in order to provide the magical girls with opponents. However, Mami is now living with Bebe, a creature that resembles the witch Charlotte. Due to her altered memories, Mami believes that Bebe was the first friend she made after becoming a magical girl, and credits Bebe for keeping her from being lonely. While Bebe reciprocates Mami's friendship, in reality she is actually Nagisa Momoe, the magical girl who became Charlotte. Nagisa entered the barrier from the Law of Cycles and disguised herself as her witch form as part of Madoka's plan to stop the Incubators from achieving their goals.

Eventually Homura begins to realize that the false Mitakihara is actually a witch's barrier (while unaware of being the witch in question). She immediately suspects Bebe, recognizing her as Charlotte. In order to question Bebe, Homura goes to Mami's house with Madoka and has tea with them. After talking with Mami for a little while, Homura contrives to get Mami to leave the room they're in by asking for more tea. However, Mami has become suspicious of Homura and ties her ribbon to Homura's leg, making her immune to Homura's time stops. Homura then stops time and questions Bebe, eventually leaving Mami's apartment to interrogate Bebe further. At this point Mami appears to confront Homura. In fact, it is later revealed that this is actually a ribbon duplicate under Mami's control. The duplicate rescues Bebe and questions Homura. Homura attempts to convince "Mami" that Bebe is tricking her, but isn't believed. Since the ribbon tied to Homura's leg vanishes when she tries to shoot it, Homura and the duplicate then proceed to have a gun duel with time alternately starting and stopping. Homura is eventually able to shoot a bullet through the ribbon while it is materialized, freezing the duplicate Mami in time. She aims to attack Mami's Soul Gem, but then decides to incapacitate her instead by shooting her leg. As this point the duplicate falls apart into ribbons and entraps Homura.

Once again, Mami asks Homura about her motivations. Homura insists that Bebe is a witch. Mami responds by saying she doesn't know what a witch is, but begins remembering that the monster she fights are supposed to be wraiths, not Nightmares. At this point Sayaka rescues Homura by using the smoke from a fire hydrant; when Mami clears the smoke she finds Homura is gone. She then finds that Bebe has transformed back into Nagisa Momoe. Nagisa apologizes for deceiving Mami and explains to her the truth of the situation.

Eventually Homura realizes she is the witch and transforms into Homulilly. In the ensuing battle, Mami fights off Homulilly's familiars so that Madoka and Nagisa can break through Homulilly's barrier and expose Kyubey's Isolation Field. Madoka then reaches out to Homura's remaining humanity and together they destroy the Field from within, causing the barrier to vanish.

Back in the real world, Mami place Homura's Soul Gem on her body, and watches as Madoka, Sayaka and Nagisa descend from the sky to take Homura into the Law of Cycles. Just as Madoka is about to touch Homura's Soul Gem, Homura grabs onto her hands and begins altering the universe. Mami is engulfed by the colors that spill out of Homura's Soul Gem and spread out over the universe.

Homura, now calling herself a demon, creates a new world. In this world, Mami is initially seen in her school uniform on the road to Mitakihara Middle School. She holds out her hand to catch falling cherry blossoms. Homura, who is sitting in a chair behind Mami, reaches her hand forward, pushing a tea cup out of the way. Mami turns around and see no-one there, and finds that she's caught a black feather instead of a cherry blossom.

At the end of the movie Mami is shown rescuing Nagisa from falling packages of cheese, indicating that they will become friends again in Homura's new universe.

"That was close... A person could get killed letting her guard down." - Mami, Puella Magi Oriko Magica, Chapter 3.

Mami first appears in the third chapter of Oriko Magica.

  • In Orika Magica, Mami does not die, unlike in the anime. In the third chapter, she fights Charlotte again, this time surviving the battle. She learns of the recent deaths of magical girls from Kyubey, who tells her that these deaths were caused by a black magical girl, not a witch. Mami decides to investigate, and she asks Kyoko for information. Kyoko doesn't know much more than Mami, but asks her about a white magical girl named Oriko. Mami doesn't know her, but when she probes for more information, Kyoko rebuffs her. Yuma believes the blonde is bullying Kyoko, and flips her skirt in retaliation, making Mami cry. Mami later crosses paths with Homura and tries to warn her about murders, but Homura tells her to stay away from "us" (presumably Homura, Madoka and Sayaka). She then meets Kirika Kure, who has lost a precious stuffed toy given to her by someone important. Mami finds the toy and returns it to Kirika, who claims that Mami is her savior and treats her to crepes. Mami accidentally sets Kirika off by saying that she must "be affectionate" towards the person who gave Kirika the doll. A witch appears, surrounding Kirika. As Mami is contemplating how to kill it without hurting Kirika, the girl destroys the witch herself. Kirika, who turns out to be the black magical girl, attacks Mami to prove her devotion to her love.
  • Chapters 4 details the fight between the two further, with Mami coming out the victor.
  • In chapters 5 to 7, Oriko and Kirika set familiars in Mitakihara Middle School. Mami tried to stop them to save students but got into their trap. Fortunately Kyoko and Yuma saved her. The three then fight against Kirika. The fact that a magical girl will become a witch made her despair, but Yuma's words unite them again and they finally defeat KirikaTemplate:Spoiler.

魔法少女和美

"It's just tough being a magical girl, huh?" - Mami, Puella Magi Kazumi Magica, Chapter 11.

  • Mami made a brief appearance in chapter 11 of Kazumi Magica. She saved Michiru Kazusa from a Witch's attack's while apparently on vacation in Asunaro city. Mami protects Michiru with her magical ribbons, attacking the witch with her smaller guns and finishing it off with Tiro Finale. The reasons are unknown, but she was with Jubey instead of Kyubey at the time, and consequently was the reason Jubey met Michiru. Template:Spoiler
  • Mami made a brief, one-panel cameo in chapter 12, showing that her daring rescue inspired Michiru to name all the Pleiades' attacks in Italian.

魔法少女小圆 the different story

The beginning of The Different Story follows the drama CD Farewell Story rather faithfully until the end of the first volume, where it begins a new timeline. In this timeline, Mami survives her battle with Charlotte, and intervenes in the fight where Kyoko and Sayaka first meet.

Sayaka made a contract just in time to save Mami from being killed by Charlotte, and from then on, the two partner up to battle witches. When Sayaka is distracted during a fight, causing Mami to get hurt, Sayaka begins to lose confidence in herself as a "defender of justice".

Sayaka feels guilty over letting Mami's refusal to blame her, and Sayaka tells her that she want to quit. She doesn't think she's worthy of being Mami's partner after ignoring Hitomi and her odd behavior, which she didn't realize at the time was caused because of a witch's kiss. Mami tries to reason with her, but Sayaka responds that she won't respect Mami anymore if she still wants to partner with Sayaka.

When Mami catches up to Sayaka and saves her from the witch Elsa Maria, admitting to her junior that she is a selfish and lonely girl who can't stand being alone. Mami decides to quit being "a champion of justice" for Sayaka. She wants Sayaka back as her partner, which Sayaka claims makes her happy, just as her Soul Gem explodes and she becomes the witch Oktavia von Seckendorff. Mami escapes the barrier, and Kyubey reveals to her that it's the fault of Kyoko, Homura and Mami herself that Sayaka became a witch.

When Mami learns the truth of the magical girl system, she spends a while thinking on her past interactions with other magical girls. Reference is made to her encounter with Michiru Kazusa from Kazumi Magica, the new magical girls from the fist volume, and Kyoko's past with Mami in this flashback. Mami is so badly shaken that she decides to die with Oktavia. When Kyoko comes to stop her, she fights Kyoko without reserving her magic. It seems that she ties up Kyoko and kills her.

When Mami open's Oktavia's barrier, her magic exhaused and she is knocked to the ground. Her Soul Gem is rapidly darkening and she has little strength left. Mami flashbacks again to her past with Kyoko, which morphs into a hallucination where a younger version of herself (implied to be Candeloro) comes to her with visions of a witch's barrier and familiars that look like Kyoko and Sayaka. She thinks, "If I become a witch, I'll be able to make everyone stay by me always."

When Mami wakes up from this dream, Kyoko appears, showing that the Kyoko that was killed by Mami was just an illusion created with magic. Mami requests Kyoko to kill her since she is about to become a witch. Kyoko confesses to her that she think Mami as her sister. Mami sees Kyoko using a Grief Seed to cleanse her Soul Gem before leaving to fight Oktavia.

Mami next wakes up in her apartment, where she is greeted with a hug by Madoka and sees Homura. Homura was the one to find Mami on the street and take her home. Madoka leaves, and Homura and Mami talk about what happened. Kyubey comes to tell them that Kyoko is dead. He also admit that it is beneficial to him if both Mami and Kyoko become witches. Hearing that, Mami summons a piston from her Soul Gem, pointing it at Kyubey, ready to shoot him. But Kyubey depresses her, and then Homura slaps her, saying that she is too easy to be provoked. Then Homura seeks her help to fight Walpurgis.

Madoka comes to visit Mami, and tells Mami her decision. She wants to help Sayaka, and is willing to protect the city for Mami. Mami cries and tells Madoka that she doesn't want to fight any more.

Walpurgis comes. When Madoka, Sayaka and Homura is on the way, Madoka remembers something about Mami. Finally Mami's ideal is shown, and she is lying on the sofa, died with her broken soul gem.

PSP游戏

Warning, this section contains general game spoilers.
  • In Mami's route, Madoka becomes a magical girl. We also see information about Mami's past, extending as far back as her time with her family, before the accident that left Mami an orphan.
  • Mami Template:Spoiler
  • It is possible to save Mami in the Homura route of the PSP Game.
  • In the Bonus Route, Mami becomes a magical girl idol.

Observations

  • Given her status as a senior student and magical girl, both Madoka and Sayaka use a respectful tone when talking to Mami, and the honorific '-san' with her first name (which is attributed to their close but respectful relationship). Both Kyoko and Homura did the same in the past.
  • It was implied in the series that she knew Kyoko and learnt what her wish was. In Episode 2, Mami talks about how magical girls can view each other as competition. She displays hidden eyes when saying this, suggesting she had a very bad personal experience. In Episode 3, after Kyubey said that someone had previously made a wish for someone else, Mami claims that the wish didn't have a happy ending and has a pained expression. It seems that she is talking about Kyoko in both cases, who views other magical girls as competition and who also made a wish for someone else. The drama CD "Farewell Story" confirmed this with Kyoko and Mami having had a master-disciple relationship prior to the events of the anime.
  • In episode 6, Kyoko implied that Walpurgis Night's approach cannot be predicted. However, in episode 10, Mami from Timeline 1 seems to know that Walpurgis Night is coming.

Mami's mentor image

  • While she appears to be mentally strong, Mami is emotionally much frailer than she seems to be. In episode 3 Mami admits it openly to Madoka, and in the manga rendition of said scene she said that she cries a lot when on her own, declaring that she is not a good role model for anyone before Madoka tells her she's not alone.
    • July's Megami acknowledges that the dependable onee-san image was a mask for Mami to get the courage to continue her role as a magical girl. It crumbled in episode 10.
    • July's NewType describes Mami's life to be a lonely one after losing her family and one of her choosing.

Mami's actions in Timeline 3

  • In episode 10, learning the awful truth about magical girls after fighting Sayaka/Oktavia makes Mami from Timeline 3 lose her mind, since her whole view of the world is shattered. She breaks down in tears, killing Kyoko by shooting her Soul Gem, then wraps Homura in ribbons and tries to kill her, genuinely thinking that she is saving them from a fate worse than death. Madoka, destroys Mami's Soul Gem with a beam arrow, killing her to stop her rampage.
    • In "Key Animation Note Volume 5,P194", Yukihiro Miyamoto (the series director of Puella Magi Madoka Magica) says that Mami binds Homura and kills Kyoko "in calm judgment." Mami thus may have been calmer than she first seemed, especially since she did not despair and turn into a witch immediately. Her method of attack was also strategic. She began by killing Kyoko, who is a close-range combat expert possessing high speed and agility, then tying up Homura to prevent her from using time manipulation and leaving Madoka, who is timid and held much admiration for her (and thus was not expected to react so quickly) to last. Thus it is likely that Mami of Timeline 3 doesn't actually lose her mind.
      • Yukihiro Miyamoto's quote is "I like Mami's calm judgment. Firstly, she binds Homura who has the ability to manipulate time. Subsequently, she kills Kyoko who has the powerful offensive power. Mami's only miscalculation is that Madoka's mind is stronger than she assumed."
        • In "The different story", Kyoko is not member of Mami's party and Mami quits being "a champion of justice" for Sayaka. Therefore, there is a possibility that same situations occur in Timeline 3. If they are, "Mami's act in Timeline 3" has logical means. In short, Kyoko is not a friend (It means that there is no reason that Mami forbids herself from shooting Kyoko.), Mami has no reason to live (Because, Mami quit being "a champion of justice" for Sayaka and Sayaka is lost.), and Homura kills Sayaka (Oktavia) in front of Mami (It means that Mami has a reason to kill Homura).
        • In "The different story", Mami does not fall into insanity and turns into the witch immediately after she knows the truth of the soulgem. So in Timeline 3, Mami may not fall insanity when she knows the truth of the soulgem.

Mami's wealth

  • Episode 10, the Bonus CD and the Blu-ray edition of Episode 2 radically modify Mami's apartment. In the early episodes, her apartment looked rather desolate, reinforcing the idea that she lives by herself with no one to support her, emphasizing her loneliness. The later revisions fill her room with beautifully decorated objects and very nice furniture (and it's also implied that it is a two-story accommodation with an internal staircase). This may be to reinforce her rich background
  • It is likely that Mami inherited her family's assets and probably insurance money. The way she dresses and talks, as well as her Ojou Ringlets, indicates that she comes from a wealthy family. The decorations at her place are consistent with that image.
    • Homura also says in episode 4 that Mami has no other relatives left, therefore she doesn't seem to have any family members telling her what to do with whatever money/possessions she inherited from her dead parents. There are also no mentions of unrelated legal tutors appointed by law.
    • Mami's apartment appears to be rather large, and is clearly a maisonette in subsequent revisions. Japan, being a very densely populated nation has some of the highest real estate prices in the world. To own and mantain such a large flat in Japan, let alone in a downtown zone of a large city, means the Tomoes must have had quite a bit of money. On the other hand, every person in the anime seems to have large houses.

Mami's fingernail mark

  • Mami and Madoka are the only magical girls known who are never seen having a mark on any of their fingernails (see a picture below). Homura, Kyoko and Sayaka all have marks on their left middle fingers, matching the shape of the emblem of their respective Soul Gem. The meaning of that is unknown and speculations range from a production error to a connection to their wishes.
    • It's a production error. Homura, Kyoko and Sayaka don't have their marks in every single shots showing that finger. Reading into it any more than that is silly.
    • In the Production Note, Mami's character designs show that she is supposed to have a finger mark, so this can be confirmed as a production error.

Speculation

  • For a while, hope was held out that Mami could still be "brought back" to life without a wish. Since the body of a magical girl is merely the "husk", as long as her Soul Gem is still intact, she might still be alive since the soul is still within it. That was until it was realised that Mami's soul gem takes the form of a hairpin and it was crushed/eaten with Mami's head by Charlotte in episode 3 .
  • Walpurgis looks different in timelines with Mami alive and in time lines where Mami is defeated by Charlotte. While she is defeated by Charlotte her Soulgem becomes corrupted, unattended, turning it into grief seed. This may be the source to Walpurgis's arrival. Mami knows about it approaching because she is depressed and slowly losing her heart, after Madoka encourages her she becomes over confident and reckless, which causes her to be easily caught off-guard. If Charlotte really consumes her soul gem, during birth of the witch from Mami's soul gem, Charlotte is consumed additionally empowering Mami's grief Seed. in Timelines where Mami is alive, Walpurgis looks different, which indicates that one way or another, Walpurgis will still arrive. Additionally, Walpurgis seems much stronger when Mami is defeated.
    • This could simply be because of other reasons such as Homura making changes in the timeline (and killing a different number of witches).
  • Mami Tomoe and Charlotte could be linked to the story “Hansel and Gretel". In most versions of this story, Gretel is portrayed as a girl with blonde hair in two braids or curls, similar to Mami’s. The witch in Hansel and Gretel lives in a house made of gingerbread, cake and candy, similar to Charlotte’s barrier. The witch’s intent is to eat the children, which is also like Charlotte’s behavior.
  • Mami Tomoe could be compared to a shepherdess. Similar to her nature, sheep do not like being left alone by themselves and prefer to be in a herd or group of others. Mami treats her friends with great care and tries to guide them in the right direction, like a shepherdess and her sheep. In her Template:Spoiler form Template:Spoiler, her bonnet, bows, and striped 'stockings' also resemble that of Little Bo Peep’s.

Mami's fate in Timeline 4

  • While Mami does not appear in Timeline 4, circumstance seems to imply that she was killed by Charlotte. In both Timeline 4 and Timeline 5, Madoka does not immediately contract with Kyubey, and Homura in Timeline 4 was determined to battle the witches by herself. Without any meaningful back-up, Mami failed to realize that Charlotte made use of a decoy doll until it was too late. This may have been what Homura meant when she tries to warn Mami in Episode 3 that Charlotte is different from the witches she'd dealt with so far.
    • That does not explain how Mami was able to defeat Charlotte in Oriko Magica though.
      • It is speculated that the Oriko timeline is an anomaly and as such perhaps Mami's survival is also an anomaly as well.

Kyubey set up Mami's death!

  • Because Mami's death has such a big impact on Madoka and Sayaka, many fans speculate that Kyubey intended to have Mami killed in order to force Madoka and/or Sayaka to become magical girls. This is somewhat evidenced by the fact that Kyubey is later demonstrated as having a longer range of communication than Madoka and Sayaka originally think. That Kyubey figures Homura out so quickly (but never tells about it) reinforces this theory, as it is quite possible that Kyubey created a false rivalry between Mami and Homura to this specific end.
    • It is therefore possible (though not probable) that he may have done this to Mami from the very beginning. We never see the details of the car crash that almost killed her, and therefore the possibility arises that Kyubey deliberately left a Grief Seed somewhere close enough to the car to create the accident.
    • This isn't the only time that Kyubey would sacrifice a magical girl as a pawn to force Madoka's hand to make her wish. He used his cunning again to get Template:Spoiler killed to force Homura to fight Walpurgis Night on her own knowing that she would fail. Kyubey calculates that this will force Madoka to make her wish to save the city.
