The sequences of events in each timeline.

晓美焰作为魔法少女，具有时间回溯、穿越到另一个时间轴从而更改历史的能力。

在最初的时间轴中，晓美焰是个近视、体能不佳、胆小懦弱、认为自己什么都做不到的自卑女孩。某一天，她被魔女攻击时，因鹿目圆、巴麻美的及时出现而侥幸脱险，自此憧憬做为魔法少女的鹿目圆。后来，在鹿目圆死于最强的魔女－“魔女之夜”的手下后，晓美焰许愿“我想要与鹿目同学重新邂逅，我不再被她保护，而我成为保护她的人”，与丘比缔约成为魔法少女，并获得了时间操作的能力。此后，为了改写鹿目圆阵亡的悲剧，在同一段时间里不断轮回。在TV二周目，她以同伴的身份和圆香、学姐一起战斗，并逐渐学会自己的战斗方式；魔女之夜目睹小圆魔女化成为“救济魔女”，地球濒临末日的惨剧，了解到魔法少女的真相。在TV三周目，她将真相告知小圆、沙耶香和学姐却不被相信；打败魔女化的沙耶香后，差点被坏掉的学姐枪杀，幸被小圆所救；魔女之夜结束后怀着和小圆一起魔女化的觉悟，却被小圆以暗藏的哀伤之种净化灵核，最后遵守小圆遗言，含泪用手枪击碎其灵核，并且全力实践阻止小圆订下契约的诺言。于是在TV四周目，历经多次失败的她确信无法说服其他人、无法与其他魔法少女合作之后，她决心不再依靠任何人、由自己打倒全部的魔女，并改变造型、以魔力治好视力与宿疾，为阻止圆香成为魔法少女独自竭力战斗，然而最终未能战胜魔女之夜，促使目睹经过的小圆和QB订下契约。

由于动画使用倒叙的手法，晓美焰首次出场的场景已经是“第N-1周目”，即动画本篇的时间轴的前一个时间轴。那个晓美焰独自对抗魔女之夜的场景其实是鹿目圆的梦境。而鹿目圆醒来后当天发现晓美焰是班上的新转学生。此后，晓美焰反复警告鹿目圆不要与丘比交换契约。有拨弄长发的习癖。登场之初貌似反派角色，其后像是批判鹿目圆天真个性的诤友，随着故事推进，逐步揭露其过往秘密，成为形象数度剧变的角色。

对于鹿目圆的感情，最初只是单纯的友情，但在历经无止尽的时间轮回与失败后，形成了只在乎鹿目圆安危的价值观。由于屡次目睹鹿目圆死亡，焰的外在性格越来越冷酷无情。帮助其他魔法少女，也只是为了不让鹿目圆伤心难过。总是摆出一副绝望眼神的晓美焰，也曾被感觉敏锐的美树沙耶香一语道破：

你的眼神放弃了一切...（中略）...口口声声说为了我，其实心里另有盘算吧？

在接近100次的轮回过程中，晓美焰不知不觉让自己与圆缠绕了大量因果，造就鹿目圆成为最恶魔女、最强魔法少女的资质。在正篇故事的“现在”时间轴，晓美焰从丘比口中得知此一真相。其随后与“魔女之夜”一战再度败北、身受重伤时，鉴于自己恶化事态的事实，焰感到绝望，终于放弃“时光倒流”，任由灵魂宝石急遽混浊，濒临魔女化。

在最终话由“圆环之理”重新构筑的世界中，晓美焰是唯一清楚记得鹿目圆的人，头上原来的发箍亦换成鹿目圆送她的缎带（漫画版则是用缎带绑成双马尾）。晓美焰为了守护鹿目圆用尽一切想保护的世界而继续战斗，继承鹿目圆的意志。武器也由盾牌改为与鹿目圆相似的日式长弓，背后能长出像鹿目圆一样的羽翼。故事尾声的某日夜晚，焰不禁对丘比“叙述自己的传说”－即世界重组前的种种事情。

晓美焰在动画的最后身姿，定格在只身与魔兽作战的沙漠中。背上的白色羽翼变成巨大的黑色翅膀，开战前听到了鹿目圆对自己说：“加油！”的声音。

Homura's time-loop officially starts on the 14th of the month in the anime (speculated to be sometime between March and April). She was released from the hospital on the 14th, and transferred to Mitakihara Middle School on the 25th. In the original timeline, she is attacked by a witch and saved by Madoka and Mami. Sometime during the next month, during Walpurgisnatch, she becomes a magical girl while wishing to redo her meeting with Madoka, thus gaining the power to pause and/or rewind time one month. It is estimated Homura repeated the same month starting on the 14th nearly 100 times before the present timeline in the TV anime. Within these timelines, Homura was able to gradually improve her abilities and acquire items (such as ammunition and weapons from the Japanese military) to prepare for the battle with Walpurgisnatch. She was also able to memorize and deduce through statistics the major events that would occur within all timelines, giving her incredible knowledge about most of her adversaries. The corollary, however, was that Homura experienced the deaths of many of her friends repeatedly, often horrifically. As a general trend, Homura became increasingly distant to Madoka with each repeat of the month. By the timeline of the TV anime, Homura appeared as a cold and calculating character who is distant from all the characters. She failed to save all of her companions (apart from Madoka), and by Walpurgisnatch, was forced to face the witch alone. She was subsequently defeated by Walpurgisnatch, and seemed just about to succumb to despair before Madoka appears and rewrites the Universe with her wish. After Madoka's revision of the universe, Homura is the only known character to retain her memories of the previous universe. She has possession of Madoka's ribbon, and has a new black bow as her weapon similar to Madoka's weapon. It is unknown if she retained her abilities to manipulate time and space. Homura is shown to have a much closer relationship with Kyuubey, so much so she even confides an entire account about how the old universe worked.

剧场版 新篇 叛逆的物语

在［新篇］叛逆的物语的开头，转学后的晓美焰，与魔法少女鹿目圆、美树沙耶香、巴麻美、佐仓杏子一起，与每天晚上出没于见泷原的怪物－梦魇（Nightmare）作战。但面对此一状况，晓美焰逐渐产生“有哪里不对劲”的感觉。不久后，晓美焰逐渐察觉鹿目圆、美树沙耶香与蓓蓓（百江渚）其实是“不应存在的存在”，此时此地完全迥异“圆环之理”当初构筑的世界。

历经与“零食魔女”、巴麻美、美树沙耶香等人的冲突后，晓美焰终于得知，其实自己早已化身魔女（不完全体），此处则是魔女结界－捏造的见泷原（false town／伪街）。丘比的“实验”主导了这一切，其目的是从焰的身上观察魔女化的发生，并解析“圆环之理”，以便阻止概念化的鹿目圆对魔法少女进行救赎，从而使魔女重新出现于世界。晓美焰为了阻止此一阴谋，不让鹿目圆的存在曝光，决定在完全魔女化之后自杀，回避圆环的引导。不过，借由其他魔法少女们的活跃，晓美焰被救出结界，丘比的计划破灭。鹿目圆取回了圆环的力量，出现在晓美焰的面前。可是，在被圆环净化的前一刻，晓美焰基于对鹿目圆的“爱”，实施了叛逆行动－将做为“人类”的鹿目圆自圆环强行分离，再度改写宇宙法则、重新构筑世界。

做为脱离圆环的存在，晓美焰独断赋予鹿目圆、美树沙耶香、百江渚3名前魔法少女“重返人间”、无须告别亲友的生活。她自己的灵魂宝石变为黑暗的宝玉，再也无须净化污秽。

在晓美焰改变后的世界，做为压制一切反派的恶魔，她与“从美国归国的转学生鹿目圆”再次相逢。除了立场对调，一切宛如《魔法少女小圆》的故事开头。

"Without a doubt, this place is a witch's barrier." In events prior to The Rebellion Story Homura was captured by the Incubators, and her Soul Gem was placed in an Isolation Field that blocked out the Law of Cycles. This strain led Homura to transform partially into a witch without her knowledge. In this form, she also unconsciously created a labyrinth that was a near-perfect replica of Mitakihara City, and unconsciously lured her former acquaintances into it. She even drew in Madoka from the Law of Cycles, who entered the barrier along with Sayaka and Nagisa Momoe. In this dream world, Homura unconsciously distorted almost everyone's memories (including her own) so that they believed they were living in the real world fighting new enemies called Nightmares. In order to stop the Incubators from fulfilling their goal, Madoka entrusted her memories and powers to Sayaka and Nagisa. Sayaka only pretended to have her memories altered, while Nagisa disguised herself as Charlotte/Bebe. Eventually Homura realizes that she's trapped in a witch's barrier and attempts to discover who is behind it. Near the end of her journey she has a conversation with Madoka that causes her to realize that she can't accept Madoka's sacrifice. At this point she begins to realize she is the witch, and confirms it when she separates herself from her Soul Gem without consequence. At this point Kyubey appears and explains the truth about Homura's present nature and the Incubators' plan to control the Law of Cycles. This causes Homura to go berserk and curse her existence, completing her transformation into a witch known as Homulilly. Madoka and the other magical girls manage to rescue Homura by destroying the stasis field containing them all, returning them to reality. Due to the Isolation Field, Homura only became a witch inside her own Soul Gem, allowing Madoka to save her. Ultimate Madoka arrives to take Homura away as per the Law of the Cycle. However, Homura grabs Madoka first. Her Soul Gem turns black, then fills with swirling colors that Nagisa calls worse than curses. Reality begins to crack as Homura separates Madoka from her goddess self. The colors burst out of her Soul Gem, and both the cracks and colors engulf the entire universe. Homura and Kyubey reappear in the same place where Madoka ascended in Episode 12. Homura shatters her Soul Gem in her mouth, and a new gem appears called the Dark Orb. Kyubey exclaims that Homura is rewriting the universe, and asks what happened to her Soul Gem. Homura explains that she remembered all of the times she repeated time, and all of the pain she suffered for Madoka's sake. She says that even this pain has become precious to her, tainting her Soul Gem with something greater than curses. As she swallows the Dark Orb, she calls it the pinnacle of human emotions: Love. Homura transforms into a new form and grows a pair of black wings. Kyubey says that Homura is no longer a magical girl or a witch, and asks what Homura is now. Homura that since she brought down and imprisoned god, it's only appropriate to call her a demon (akuma). Kyubey decides that it was a mistake to experiment with human emotions and flees, but Homura grabs him and says she still needs his existence to deal with all the curses of the world. "As I am now, I'm not a witch anymore. Something that could bring down a god and imprison her...I suppose you could only call such a being a demon." Homura effectively becomes a goddess of this new universe. Apart from her true nature as a demon, she still exists with a human form in the real world and can interact normally with everyone else. She appears to have the power to manipulate the memories of virtually anyone she pleases, but otherwise the full extent of her abilities are unknown. It is assumed that Homura is a deity that primarily embodies love (whereas Madoka embodies hope). Homura is presently holding a fraction of the Goddess Madoka captive--specifically, the part that was Madoka Kaname before she became the Law of Cycles. It is also implied she is placing the world's curses onto Kyubey. Despite proclaiming herself as a demon, Madoka, Sayaka, Kyoko, Mami, and Nagisa are all given happy lives in her new world.

Memories of You 在最初的时间轴里，晓美焰也曾被鹿目圆怂恿签约，但也同样被麻美训诫，最后约定‘不会以随便的心情去许愿’。而在魔女之夜到来时靠艾米找到了圆和麻美，终于签下契约。

Sunny Day Life 官方逼死同人的淑女设定，众人在追击偷衣物的小猫时发现了一条被偷的内裤，佐仓杏子表示无法理解为何要偷别人穿过的内裤，小焰对此表示：“那才是价值所在”

魔法少女织莉子

虽原作动画未提及，但漫画外传《魔法少女小织》是晓美焰多次轮回的时间轴之一。本次轮回，晓美焰以同班同学的身份与鹿目圆相处，且已放弃配戴眼镜。虽然得知见泷原正在发生“猎杀魔法少女”的风波，但采取放任不管的态度，只为专一的守护着鹿目圆。与正篇故事“现在”的时间轴相同，晓美焰全力疏远巴麻美。

尽管“不让鹿目圆缔约”的目标与本作主角美国织莉子相同，但2人作法相左，成为彼此敌对的存在。故事尾声，织莉子对鹿目圆发动攻击，晓美焰与魔法少女巴麻美、佐仓杏子、千岁由真共同作战，击败了织莉子。但死前的织莉子仍成功击毙远在墙外的鹿目圆，晓美焰因此她带着懊悔与悲痛继续踏上时间的轮回。

"Madoka...don't ever tell me not to save you. I'm not all-powerful. I am not able to save everyone. But...even so, I want to save you. So, don't say that anymore!" - Homura, Puella Magi Oriko Magica, Chapter 5. Homura first appears in Chapter 3. When Mami warns her about the magical girl murders, Homura seems not to care, but warns Mami not to get close to her, Madoka, Hitomi and Sayaka. In chapter 4, she appears for one page with her friends, going out for sweets. She defers to Madoka's taste and doesn't care where they go. She protected Madoka well to this point, keeping the knowledge of magical girls far away from her and Sayaka. In chapters 5-7, as Mitakihara Junior High is covered with a witch's barrier, Homura does her best to protect Madoka from the familiars. After Madoka told her not to sacrifice others to protect her, however, Homura decided to find Oriko and Kirika and defeat them. Oriko reveals that Template:Spoiler Homura fights together with Mami, Kyoko and Yuma, coming close to losing when two of the other three fall into despair after Template:Spoiler

魔法少女小圆 the different story

做为原作动画的外传漫画，本作与正篇故事“现在”的时间轴相同，晓美焰采取了疏远巴麻美、美树沙耶香的态度。为了迎战魔女之夜，与佐仓杏子联手合作。在美树沙耶香魔女化，巴麻美与佐仓杏子产生冲突时，晓美焰基于过往的经验，采取完全旁观的立场。

在最终话，巴麻美因为佐仓杏子的死亡，失去活着的目标。此时晓美焰出现，提议由巴麻美完成她与佐仓杏子的约定，一同与魔女之夜作战。但在随后，巴麻美提前自尽，导致不知情的鹿目圆缔约成为魔法少女，宣告此次时间轴的晓美焰行动失败。

Homura acts just as she did in the anime. Homura tries to cooperate with all magical girls to fight Walpurgis. But she still fails because all other magical girls don't believe her. When Sayaka becomes Oktavia, she warns Kyoko not to visit Mami or she may die. Kyoko refuses and set a barrier to stop her from following. She brings unconscious Mami home, and then seeks her help. She lies to Madoka, saying Sayaka is killed by witches. She doesn't want Madoka to know about the cold truth. When Madoka contracts, she doesn't reset time immediately. She tries to convince Madoka to run away, but Madoka refuses. She resets time after the other two go to fight Walpurgis.

PSP游戏

在焰的剧本中是主角，可以以焰的视角努力开后宫以达成焰的愿望。最终面对魔女之夜时参加的角色会影响到最终结局：

• 除了小圆以外的其他三位主要角色皆活着进入焰的后宫也都成为了魔法少女的话，那么就能够四人一起击败QB的野心魔女之夜而迎接Happy Endまじょたちのなく顷に解：更生篇
• 若麻美存活，但得知了魔法少女最终会变成魔女的讯息，且沙耶香也魔女化而先被小焰解决，那么麻美会自杀、杏子也会愤而离开城镇，最终只有焰一人面对魔女之夜，而后在小圆的怀中断气
• 若麻美死亡、沙耶香魔女化而成功挽留住杏子的话，将由杏子与焰共同面对魔女之夜，胜出后杏子会将城镇交给焰而离开见泷原。
• 若在面对魔女之夜的时候战败的话，焰会魔女化成“此岸的魔女（Homulilly）”
• 除此之外的各种状况最后都是直接走动画结局，PV中出现的对抗魔兽的画面也仅限于在此结局中的片尾出现。

Warning, this section contains spoilers.

If certain conditions are met, the Homura route will be available for playing. Homura can save Mami from Charlotte. By telling Mami she will leave Charlotte to her, Homura can avoid being tied up in ribbons. Homura can then secretly follow and save Mami in time. Mami apologizes to Homura for misjudging her and forms a bond with Homura. With Mami alive, there is a scene where she fights against Kyoko. Homura can save Sayaka, by choosing Kyoko to talk to Sayaka and prevent her from becoming a witch. Sayaka will join the group in fighting against Walpurgis. Kyouko will team up with Homura in most cases. If Homura successfully avoids Mami's death and none of the magical girls become witches, then it is possible for Homura to challenge Walpurgis with four magical girls without having Madoka contracting with Kyubey. The PSP game has a transformation scene for glasses Homura (dead link)

角色分析

性格

• 冷酷
  • 基本上对任何人都用全名称呼，不过也有例外，除了小圆外也有称呼过杏子(第九话)。
• 死脑筋
• 为了小圆可以不惜牺牲自己所有的一切
• 认为沙耶加跟麻美是总带来麻烦的人
• 认为杏子是可靠的队友
• 在TV第一周目腼腆、怕生又自卑

二设

• 跟踪狂
• 黑他累。平时一副总攻的样子，其实小圆一强硬起来就变受。从来不会直接向对方表达自己的感情，但是会用各种间接手段。当小圆向她表示好意时，反而会抗拒。
• 病娇（叛逆限定）

愿望、武器与能力

晓美焰成为魔法少女的愿望是“想要重新和小圆相遇，不是被她保护，而是成为保护她的人私は、鹿目さんとの出会いをやり直したい。彼女に守られる私じゃなくて、彼女を守る私になりたい”。

由于这一愿望，获得了两大时间操作能力：时间停止与时间倒流。两个能力都依赖于变身后位于左手小臂的圆形金属盾牌，内部呈现复杂的齿轮结构，并且有一个类似于沙漏的部件。

发动时间停止能力，需要嵌动机关，将盾牌上暴露在外的部分关闭，使得沙漏内的紫色沙粒停止流动。而如果时间已经过了一个月，即过了晓美焰许愿成为魔法少女的那一刻，那么沙漏内的紫色沙粒便全部流空，从而无法再发动时间停止能力。时间暂停时，只有晓美焰主动接触的物体可以在暂停的空间内活动。黄昏Frontier的游戏“Griefsyndrome”中，时间暂停能力也能扩及到自己队友身上，因此在暂停作用期间所有同伴都能够自由发动攻击。假如用丝带连接她与其他人的话，也是可以把时间暂停的效果延展到其他人身上。从沙耶加的台词“你又想躲进只有自己的时间吗？”看，是个颇为适合小焰性格的能力。

发动时间倒流能力，需要将盾牌旋转一定角度，使得沙漏倒转。无论是不是已经过了一个月，都可以发动该能力，只是每次都将回溯到晓美焰还在病床上那一天，不能回到更早也不能更迟。

虚渊玄表示设计轮回能力的时候并没有严密地思考，只是觉得“有许多世界并行发展，而且还会不断分歧分叉”而已。

根据文学评论作家山川贤一的分析，晓美焰在同一时间线的不断轮回，是宿命论世界观在《魔法少女小圆》的具体化表现。

剧场版［后篇］，晓美焰变身讨伐魔女之夜。

除此以外，左手盾也可以作为四次元口袋使用，拥有极为方便的储物功能。

武器 Template:Anchor晓美焰的最初攻击手段是高尔夫球杆，被巴麻美纠正、训练后，开始装备军事武器。除了贝瑞塔92手枪、沙漠之鹰手枪、FN Minimi轻机枪之外，也运用若干炸弹（IED、计时炸弹、手榴弹、闪光弹、C4炸药）、地雷（FFV-013定向雷、M18A1阔刀地雷）、油罐车与心神战斗机^{（SLOT 魔法少女小圆）}发动攻击。此外，还有一系列的反坦克武器：AT4反坦克火箭筒、RPG-7、L16 81mm迫击炮（弹著点是自己计算的！）、战斧巡弋导弹、88式陆基反舰导弹、M72轻型反装甲武器^{（仅漫画版）}

包括Vectronix观测机在内的前述军火，其中虽有部分自制，但大多是晓美焰潜入黑道帮派‘射太兴业’及军队（疑似自卫队与美军基地的军火库）窃取而来，因此涵盖大批自卫队与驻日美军现役武器。第11话、最终话播毕翌日，搭载88式陆基反舰导弹的陆上自卫队第六陆基反舰连队“恰巧”宣布解散，引发了“焰盗走军火，致使陆自连队解散”（第6地対舰ミサイル连队解队の远因）的趣谈。经非官方统计，焰攻打魔女之夜的军费总额高达13亿8304万300日圆（常备武装占57万1300日圆）。

除此以外，左手盾也还是可以作为防具，像动画最初对战魔女之夜的时候那样格挡开光线攻击。

在重新构筑的世界中，晓美焰继承了鹿目圆的日式长弓，但是失去了时间操纵能力与左手盾。

评价

• 只要能力不暴露，小焰是最强的魔法少女
• 轮回了近100次

哲学

在剧场版［新篇］中盘的一幕，朝“圆神”画像丢蕃茄的晓美焰使魔群，口中说着德语“Gott ist tot”，典出德国哲学家尼采的名言“上帝已死”。尾声，有一行魔女文字（Madoka runes）位于“恶魔”晓美焰的遮阳伞伞柄，亦可解出德文“Die Ewige Wiederkunft des Gleichen”，典出尼采的“永恒轮回”观。晓美焰的行为脉络，就相当于尼采的“超人理论”。

在《魔法少女小圆》正篇故事中，晓美焰曾经历将近100次的时间轮回（动画演出其中的5次），同其在电视动画第10话的自述：“无数次轮回相同的时间，寻找唯一的出口”“...被困在永远的迷宫”。在尼采哲学中，永恒轮回就是不断反思自己、质疑“最终救赎”、通往“超人”境界的艰苦道路。借由“叛逆（rebellion）”魔法少女的救赎（圆环之理），晓美焰以“恶魔化”终结永恒轮回。自此，晓美焰具有主宰命运、超越人生苦乐的外在特征。而绝对强大的“恶魔”晓美焰，也象征着无人企及的“超人”境界。

此外，同一幕中，晓美焰的酒杯溢满了酒，亦对应于尼采的“酒神-日神精神”。“恶魔”的理念、“恶魔”重组世界的逻辑以及“欲望秩序问答”的本质，皆与《悲剧的诞生》、《查拉图斯特拉如是说》等尼采著作有若干符节。

心理学

虚渊玄主张，晓美焰在剧场版［新篇］构筑的“捏造的见泷原（false town／伪街）”，虽然本质上是自导自演、办家家酒的魔女结界。但这个“5人同心协力”的安逸世界，其实是她潜意识中的真正心愿。

在正篇故事中，晓美焰经历了将近100次“与鹿目圆重逢／分离”的悲喜剧，使她形成根深蒂固的自虐心理。晓美焰的使魔进而在在剧场版［新篇］全剧，从其本心，不断进行的“fort/da”游戏，典出弗洛伊德的著作《超越快乐原则》（Beyond the Pleasure Principle / Jenseits des Lustprinzips）。此书的日文书名《快感原则の彼岸》，也对应了焰的另一种魔女化—此岸之魔女。这就是“自虐”的基本形式之一－借由不断“失而复得”，体验其中的痛苦、期待与刺激。

“fort/da”游戏的另解是，让自己陷入被遗弃、被唾弃的处境后，一面咀嚼灾难，一面期待受难后的幸福。

社会心理

香港作家汤祯兆在《新报》副刊撰文指出，晓美焰的经历，正是日本社会持执“历史循环论”史观的反映。而这正是《魔法少女小圆》文本的重要性。

他亦指出，剧场版［新篇］的晓美焰“恶魔化”满足了网络世代“把个人自我无限扩大”的思考习性。

经典文本

虚渊玄主张，晓美焰的“叛逆”，是“摆脱迷茫”的表现。此种角色剧变的前例之一，可参考《星际大战》系列中安纳金·天行者成为黑武士的经典情节。

在剧场版［新篇］中盘，晓美焰化身的胡桃钳魔女在最后诈降前，头颅下方出现一行魔女文字，可解出“Eternal feminine”，意译为“永恒的女性”，典出《浮士德》的诗句：“永恒的女性 引领我们到至高之境”。

在剧场版［新篇］尾声，“恶魔”晓美焰自称将与魔法少女们为敌时，被自己的使魔投掷番茄，此系比附《约翰福音》被投石者无罪的典故。亦即，此时的焰口是心非，并未存心为恶。反之，她给众人安排了“更美满”的日常生活。比如：让佐仓杏子不再失学、让巴麻美邂逅百江渚、让英语欠佳的鹿目圆赴美留学。

战绩

设定上，晓美焰是战斗力最差的魔法少女，但也是唯一保持100%战斗生还率的魔法少女。迄今只有魔女之夜（最强的魔女）与巴麻美曾打败魔法少女晓美焰。

动画版共遭遇24场战斗或冲突，次数居众人之冠，涵盖只身战斗16次，其中：

胜利：11次

中断或胜负不明：8次

名台词

经典台词（credit: K岛）

“あなたは、鹿目まどかのままでいればいい。今まで通りに、これからも。” “你就这样作为鹿目圆生活下去就行了。像至今为止一样，从今以后也是。” 官网角色描述台词。 “暁美ほむらです。よろしくお愿いします。” “我是晓美焰。请多多指教。” “……あなたは、优しすぎる。” “……你太过温柔了。” “解っているの？　あなたは无関系な一般人を危険に巻き込んでいる。” “知道吗？你在把无关的一般人卷进危险之中。” “それには及ばないわ。” “没有这个必要。” 学姐被麻美后，为阻止QB签约飒爽登场的对白，亦是其代表性名言之一。 “もう谁にも赖らない” “再也不依靠任何人” “最后に残った道しるべ” “最后留下的路标” “约束するわ！绝対にあなたを救ってみせる！何度缲り返すことになっても、必ずあなたを守ってみせる！” “我保证，我绝对会拯救你！不管重来几次，我都一定会守护你的！” 经典台词，也是贯穿全篇的主轴方向。 “不了解人类的感情的你们不可能明白的吧，比诅咒更强，比执妄更深的，称之为爱的这份感情！” [新编]叛逆の物语中变成取代神的恶魔时对QB质疑的宇宙级闪光反驳，其实是虚渊的内心说话 “望むことは、ささやかなりし。この腕にかき抱けるだけの梦でいい、この胸に収まるだけの真実でいい。譬えて言うなら、その名は‘まどか’。‘まどか’こそ我が生命、‘まどか’こそ我が宿命！” “所望唯微愿耳。便是只能以这双臂紧抱的梦幻便好，便是只能在我心中存在的真实便好。若名之，则谓‘小圆’！ 小圆方为我生命，小圆方为我宿命！” 其实是《装甲骑兵·荣耀的异端》最终话预告，描写齐力可心境的一段独白。*13 但这段独白不仅跟焰的粉圆控非常贴切，前半段更是完美体现了焰为了小圆能得到作为人的幸福，尽其所能地创造一个可能十分虚幻短暂，却能让小圆在现实得以安稳的世界的心愿。 “触れ得ざる者”ホムラ・アケミ

三次元

花絮

根据虚渊玄的构想，晓美焰被赋予巴麻美之外另一名资深魔法少女的地位，在巴麻美死亡后，负责牵引故事的真相。在最初的时间轴，晓美焰是绑着两条麻花辫，戴着红色粗框眼镜的内向女孩，与性格开朗的鹿目圆有极大差异。另一个与鹿目圆的鲜明对比是，晓美焰的家人完全未出现。

小说版补充：由于她从小受先天性心脏病之苦，不停接受手术。父母为了医疗费东奔西跑，出国工作无法照顾她。

印象色“黑”，有一头漂亮黑长发，戴着发箍。变身后的服装近似女子学校制服，双腿著黑色裤袜，圆形盾牌内嵌沙漏与“四次元口袋”。灵魂宝石呈紫色，变身时装备于左手腕。漫画版的盾牌则是菱形。武器由动画制作人员设计，但最终话的日式长弓是苍树梅绘制的。

仅经过一次试镜就决定由斋藤千和演出晓美焰。斋藤回忆，其他的配音员都比自己年轻，且当初最竞争角色是丘比。由于虚渊玄的强力推荐，因此斋藤被拔擢演出“里主角”的晓美焰。由于斋藤没有先读剧本的习惯，因此一直对《魔法少女小圆》怀有“可爱的作品”的印象，演出至第6话到第8话时，角色性格始完全固定。

根据虚渊的访谈，小焰在新世界中是取代了消失的小圆的位置，因此她也继承了小圆成为魔法少女时有的能力，包括使弓和天使羽翼等

各界评论

晓美焰放弃被别人理解，以沉默寡言、冷酷的态度待人接物，但心中始终保留一部分的温柔。例如，晓美焰在第8话曾企图杀害美树沙耶香，但根据扮演焰的齐藤千和的解说，其实此刻焰的内心相当动摇，并在随后与鹿目圆见面后，放弃了表面的冷静，歇斯底里地抱头痛哭。

2011年4月，《玛莉亚†狂热》动画版第2季第4话结尾的“附送”花絮，安排该作人物恶搞捏他本作第10话的第4次轮回，影射晓美焰“有成为史上最糟傲娇妹的潜质”。

齐藤千和评论，尽管焰乍看相当强势，但仍存在女性特有的纤纤弱质。

对于晓美焰的魔法强弱，一些工作人员看法出现分歧，负责撰写剧本的虚渊玄认为她与普通少女没有两样，而系列导演宫本幸裕则认为她在魔法少女位居后段，但比正常人稍强，配音员斋藤千和认为焰是最弱的魔法少女，鹿目圆的声优悠木碧则说焰没有任何魔法攻击能力。

虚渊玄在德国《AnimagiC》的专访内容中提到：“如果没人知道焰的能力，焰是最强的。”

在剧场版［新篇］中的枪战，事先知道焰“时间操作”能力的巴麻美，就打败了焰。

社会反响

鹿目圆及晓美焰“谁是真正的主角”引起许多讨论。有些影迷称晓美焰为“轰姆轰姆（ほむほむ）”，虽然在剧情中没有这种场景。

许多与晓美焰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4位，figma人偶则是第6位。

晓美焰人气、魅力兼具。一名韩国男子曾于2012年与晓美焰“结婚”，并表示要“想办法加入日本籍，或者让晓美焰加入韩国籍”。

尽管晓美焰曾在《魔法少女小圆》剧中盗取驻日美军诸多军械，但仍有自卫队、美军人员表态支持晓美焰。

• 2012年10月，网络流传陆上自卫队在AH-1眼镜蛇直升机机身彩绘晓美焰的照片。同时，也出现了驻日美军在出勤的悍马军车摆放“Q版晓美焰”插画，并标注“I will Save You”标语呼应角色精神的照片。
• 2014年，一名佛罗里达州出身的退役美国海军陆战队队员buckybean（ばっきぃびーん）在Twitter公开自己穿着COSPA晓美焰T恤的照片。

2012年被选为“导盲犬普及支援”的主题人物。

捏他

姓名

部分影迷研究，晓美焰姓名的日语罗马化“Akemi Homura”近似于“Alchemy Homunculus”，后者意为“炼金术的人造人”。一方面契合晓美焰的个性特征，另一方面《浮士德》第二部第二幕亦与何蒙库鲁兹有关。而《魔法少女小圆》全剧就充斥着《浮士德》隐喻。

但官方并无“特别设计姓名”的说法。

剧透密码

File:Homerun The Movie.jpg

And so a legend was born

• Homura's shield is able to store a countless amount of weapons, as demonstrated by the many pistols, light machineguns, shotguns, rocket launchers, and boxes of ammunition packed inside it. Note that her shield is relatively small and she is able to wear it around her wrist, much like a watch. As such, her shield seems to have been inspired from Time Lord technology. Evidence to support this is fairly obvious - her own magical power is based off of time manipulation, so a relation is very likely.
• (ほむほむ)Originally started by the fan community it has been embraced and adopted by the industry to become part of the official language and usage.
• Sometimes also jokingly refered to as "Homurika" due to shared similarity of circumstances (having to go through many timelines to prevent a tragedy) with Rika Furude (Higurashi No Naku Koro Ni).
• In an early production sketch, her surname was given as (暁海) "daybreak sea" instead of (暁美). Both are read as Akemi.
• The Homura of previous timelines is, due to her personality and actions, often referred to as "Moemura" amongst Western fans.
• Apparently there is a rumor on the net that some weapons went "missing" at the JSDF and US military bases in Japan. There is only one official report regarding the missing/stolen weapons. It is not known if the rumors of the stolen missing weapons inspired their appearance in the series. Nor is there any evidence indicating that the perpetrator was a time traveling magical girl.
• One fan estimates that Homura used ¥ 1,383,040,300 Yen worth of military weaponry & equipment (that's $17,037,114 USD in today's dollars).[1]
• Homura's appearance in episode 12 (in the new timeline) from the manga is different than her appearance from the anime. In the anime, her clothes and hairstyle remain the same, with Madoka's ribbon as her accessories. However, in the manga, she wears a new dress, changes her hairstyle to two pigtails with the ribbons Madoka gave her.
• In Audio commentary for Episode 4, Urobuchi liked Chiwa Saitou for the role because she had a "Dark Beauty" feeling.
  • In the Audio commentary for Episode 7, Chiwa Saitou explains she tried the role of Kyubey and Kyousuke first, until Gen Urobuchi convinced her to try the role of Homura.
    • Chiwa Saito explains that she found the character of Homura to be strong but also to be a weak/delicate girl. Aoi Yuuki adds that the Homura character had no other choice but to become strong.
      • Ryouko Shintani states that would be true for a character that has something or someone important to protect.
• Some pages from the Puella Magi Production Note refer to Homura's attack on Walpurgisnacht as "Pytha-homu Switch", a reference to the complicated Rube Goldberg machines featured on the Japanese children's show "Pythagorean Switch".
• In the Puella Magi Madoka Magica Official Guidebook "You Are Not Alone" Hanokage jokingly describes Homura as "Hommando" in her After-Recording Report comic, because of the excessive vast arsenal of weaponry she unleashes in Episode 11. Apparently the smörgåsbord of weaponry was added later, they were not originally depicted in the early stages of the screenplay.
• Chiwa Saito (Homura) states that the crying scene in Episode 8 left her with a large impression. She feels like they captured the feelings of a girl perfectly, specially the part where Homura collapses, showing her weak side as a girl.
• In the audio commentary for Episode 11, Chiwa Saito (Homura) found the confession scene to be touching and emotional, and left her with a huge impression. She confesses that she cried.
  • Aoi Yuuki (Madoka) found the scene to be amazing and filled her with emotions. Aoi Yuuki felt that her and Madoka became synchronized during the emotional scene. Aoi Yuuki believes that, surely Madoka would have accepted Homura's feelings.
• In Persona 4 Arena, Yukiko Amagi has a palette swap for Homura.
• Homura finds a manual on how to make bombs from the internet. According with the Japanese Wikipedia the manual is titled Template:Nihongo, published in March 1974 by a far-left terrorist organization.
  • Incidentally, the manual explains with illustrations that “Anyone with a middle-school level knowledge of chemistry can do it”.

Speculations

下面是speculation章节，太特么长了

In the first two episodes, Homura appeared to be the antagonist. It was later explained that she only wanted to prevent Madoka becoming a magical girl. She saved Madoka and Sayaka multiple times and may become an ally and/or mentor of Madoka in the future. She might also wish to prevent Madoka becoming a magical girl because of the risk that she could turn into an overwhelmingly powerful witch. This has been proven right in Episode 10. In Episode 5, Homura saves Sayaka from Kyoko by suddenly manifesting as Kyoko's attack is about to land, somehow moving Sayaka out of the path of the attack. The ability seems to involve massive acceleration rather than teleportation (this because of her power being to turn back/stop time and thus being able to move quickly from one point to another by stopping time temporarily), as she is able to act in a split second. As there are hints that a Puella Magi's powers may relate to her wish (e.g. Sayaka's regeneration), this may be a clue as to Homura's true motives. As of Episode 8 it has been confirmed that Homura's ability has something to do with time. Theory proven right: her power is stopping time and wish is time-related.) File:Madoka magica homura bingo.jpg the speculah madness. Homura's wish was to protect Madoka, and since wishes always come true, it should make her immune from death and becoming a witch before saving Madoka. This makes her doomed to be locked in this cycle. In one timeline she was almost successful, but Madoka sacrificed herself for the sake of Homura and caused another restart. Theory proven wrong: Homura controls when and if she rewinds time, so long as one month as passed since the last reset.) Per the image in the gallery below, the pipe layout on the corridor wall is completely different after Homura uses her 'teleportation' ability. Assuming this is not a production error, it has been suggested that the ability actually involves magically reconstituting the entire corridor while moving the people in it around. For more information, please refer to the entry on this phenomenon in the Magical Powers speculah. Theory proven wrong: her power has nothing to do with that, it was a production error. Homura may be a homunculus created by Madoka. Homura might be in possession of the soul gems of magical girls from an alternate timeline, such as the alternate Madokas. See also Speculah:Homura Identity Swap Theory (though note the identity swap theory has been debunked). Theory proven wrong: Soul Gems disappear when their owner dies or become Grief Seeds. One of the speculations as for why Homura does not tell Madoka upfront of the consequences of becoming a magical girl, is because Madoka might just become one in order to save Homura or Mami. This could also be the reason why she's trying to keep a distance between her and Madoka. Theory proven wrong: she was doing it to stop Madoka per her promise. Homura may be Walpurgis Night. As Homura's powers involved time manipulation it could very well be that we are seeing a witch version of Homura warped back into the past ironically becoming the very event that has shaped her reason for making a contract. Walpurgis Night has been depicted with clock-like gears underneath her dress. Episode 11 also depicts Walpurgis Night having a primary color of purple, which is also Homura's color. While the end of the series shows Homura losing her shield, after the credits we are shown Homura during an unknown time period, though having Madoka's ribbons, battling. Before Homura starts the fight, she hears Madoka offer words of encouragement as Homura gives up a final smile, which may signal Homura being consumed with despair. The final shot shows the main heroines, overlapped with multiple silhouettes of the heroines, which could allude to the familiars summoned by Walpurgis Night in episode 11, before showing Homura's soul gem. More to this is that it's actually a fact that Kriemhild Gretchen and Walpurgisnacht where designed, to be two halves of a whole, at least as far as physical character design goes. Because of that they form an hour glass. Now, One thing that really stands out is Gretchen, go take a look at her body if you haven't. Now this is really a strange witch for Madoka to become. Most witches have at least something in common with their original wish and past, but all Madoka appears to be is this stringy black mess, What could explain this? Well, if we accept that Walpurgisnacht nacht is in fact Homura's witch, sighting the gears and Homura's lack of a time barrier, It then follows that Homura's and Madoka's witches form the hour glass. The implications of that would not be trivial, To start with, Homura is the very cause of Madoka's power and potential as a magical girl, How does she do this? time loops, as Kyuubey explained, each loop makes Madoka's past bleaker and bleaker, We already know that blackness is despair incarnate since we see it build up in soul gems, Gretchen is of course VERY black. In addition to that, Gretchen is also made up of many tendrils of threads, It would seem that if she is the bottom of the hour glass, then It's plausible that the threads represent the very threads of time that Madoka is caught up in, Walpurgisnacht, if Homura, would then be intimately connected to Gretchen, the very cause of her power, each twist of time by Homura perhaps dropping those threads, symbolic of their relationship to one another. Theory proven wrong: Homura's witch form is Homulilly. Homura may actually be Faust, as Faust in the play tries all his might to save Gretchen (Madoka) from dying but in the end she perishes anyways as Mephistopheles (QB) tries to tempt her to form a contract with him. There's also the fact that in the Goethe version, Faust would only lose his soul if he ever had a moment of perfect happiness that made him wish he could stop time at that moment forever. Homura's power, of course, is to stop time. As such, it's entirely possible that the Homura and Faust parallels will be taken to its logical conclusion: She will have a moment of perfect happiness, she will stop time at that moment, and then she will die or become a witch. However, it should be mentioned that Faust manages to escape Mephistopheles and enter heaven because he found his moment of happiness in helping others, and not in anything Mephistopheles gave him. On the other hand, there is a witch that tries to create heaven on Earth. In the story of Faust, the devil grants him "magical powers" for 24 years, "one year for each hour of the day," and the deal was at the end of the "24 years," the devil would claim his soul. Homura's "weapon" is an hourglass, and her hourglass can reset time by one month. Given the strong parallels to Faust, and how at the end of the last loop, Homura was about to lose her soul (by giving in to Kyuubey's master plan and her Soul Gem becoming corrupted), it is entirely probable that her loop lasted for a total of 24 months/loop attempts as a reasonable conservative estimate, and the full Faustian 24 years as a more gruesome estimate. Given how radically her personality has changed since the first loop attempt, and how she seems to have memorized most of the key events of the loop, 24 months seems like a plausible number. Homura shows some very different powers in episode 12. While this may be a by-product of the new world, it is also possible she always had these powers and simply did not use them in favor of her less magic-consuming time-stopping. Given the fact that she no longer has her shield on her wrist, it is most likely that her powers have changed altogether. Her shield was shown to be completely out of sand during the fight with Walpurgis Night. As we know, the only way for her to get more sand again is to reset the timeline (flip the hourglass). Since the timeline wasn't actually reset by her, even in new timeline, her shield would still be completely out of sand, and therefore, useless as anything but a hunk of steel on her arm. It makes sense she wouldn't use it anymore, then. Considering her wish was to protect Madoka, one could believe her shield shows her resolve to protect. Its turning to sand in the Walpurgis Night fight represents her inability (and indeed, her failure) to protect Madoka. When she flips the hourglass, gaining more sand represents the fact she can protect Madoka again. Her not having it in the new timeline shows that she doesn't need to protect anyone anymore. As for the source of her new powers, speculations abound; lead amongst them is that she got Madoka's bow from her at the same time that Madoka fixed her Soul Gem and gave her her ribbon. Another theory is that since her wish was to "protect Madoka," and Madoka is now a concept rather than a person, her powers were altered into something similar to what Madoka uses. Yet another theory is that with the universe restarted, Homura made a different wish, and so got different powers. Yet another theory is that Homura was always able to produce a bow; after all, her original concept artwork depicted her with that weapon. She just hadn't figured out how, or alternatively, just hadn't bothered, since stopping time is more efficient. My (slightly poorly-founded) theory is that her wish was to know what Madoka was (which explains why she can suddenly tell Kyubey everything) - if that's true, her having a bow represents her bond with the concept of Madoka. Kind of similar to your point. The reason why Homura can't prevent Madoka from being a magic girl may be interpreted that it is Madoka's being magic girl that makes Homura become magic girl. If Homura really did, there will be a paradox. But effect can't change the cause. Therefore,no matter how many times she tries, she is destined to fail. Another evidence may support this idea. In the end of episode 12, Homura is still a magic girl and she know the existence of Madoka. Because it is Homura's being magic girl and her trying hundreds of times to save Madoka that gives Madoka the ability to become Madokami. Even Madokami can't change what she is based on to exist. The effect can't change the cause. Different Universes There are some bizarre elements that haven't been properly addressed in the anime series. In one case is the issue that the production notes state that in one timeline Kyousuke was a guitarist. It was never addressed in the Anime but in the alternate-Oktavia's witch card does mention a guitar, and we have no reason to assume it refers to anyone but Kyousuke. On this reason Kyousuke as a guitarist is considered to be canon. One possible explanation for this is that Homura is not only going back in time but also going to parallel universes (different universes) contained within the multiverse. Gen Urobuchi stated that he didn't really think too much about the mechanics of Homura's time loops, so the nature of Homura's power is not only a mystery, but it is not fully understood not even by the creative source. There are ways to explain the change in instrument using only time travel. Perhaps someone made a wish that changed Kyousuke's past, and the effects persisted in future timelines because the wish changed events that happened before the point where the timelines diverged, when Homura woke up in the hospital. Kyousuke might be proficient with both instruments, and some event during the time loop period might inspire him to prefer one over the other. However, these speculations are based on guesswork, since the show's creators have not yet provided details.
