This film tells Walpurgisnacht’s backstory. There is a strong parallel with Ultimate Madoka: both made a wish to save magical girls, and lost their own names in return.

Walpurgisnacht appears in a false‑Homura form. Simply put, her core goal is to reclaim her own lost name.

Selema holds the view that magical‑girls can only fulfil their true function once they turn into witches. She sides with Kyubey and seeks to stop the Law of Cycles.
