(Kriemhild Gretchen Info)

The Doppel of mercy. Its form is salvation. The master of this emotion tries to save all of existence. This Doppel appears as a huge floating Soul Gem. Once it is summoned, it creates an existence within which all things around it are consumed, and then takes control of everything within that existence. After that, it floats higher into the air and a shower of light arrows rains down. While all of this is happening, the master of this emotion sleeps inside the huge Soul Gem.

(Side Story)

Madoka and Homura Akemi arrive in Kamihama City. They decide to go to a shrine Madoka saw in a magazine. However, the two are stopped when they sense a witch. The girls head into the barrier and find a magical girl fighting it. Before they can help, the witch escapes and the barrier vanishes. Madoka and Homura go up to the girl and ask if she's alright. The girl says not to worry and leaves. Madoka apologizes to Homura and runs off to look for the magical girl.

Elsewhere, the magical girl feels tired as she used too much magic. Madoka appears and tells her to rest, offering to take her to a bench. Madoka offers to buy the girl a drink. She asks for iced tea, which prompts Homura to appear and offer to buy it. Homura says she'll gladly do it for Madoka. The magical girl thanks Madoka for helping her, and introduces herself as Shizuku Hozumi. She asks why Madoka came to help. Madoka says it's because Shizuku looked like she was in pain and that she randomly decided to help. Shizuku says Madoka is a kind person and tells her not to worry. Madoka says it's bad to be alone, since if you're alone there's no one who can help you bear painful things.

Shizuku says it's fine even if she's alone, and she'll find a place where she'll belong. Madoka says that as things are, it will always remain painful. Shizuku says that Madoka is trying to help her even if she's a stranger. Madoka humbly dismisses Shizuku's compliments, and then realizes Shizuku herself could create her own place to belong.

Homura then returns with drinks. Afterward, Shizuku asks Madoka why she became a magical girl. Madoka says she wants to be useful to someone, as she doesn't have a subject or talent she's good at. She became a magical girl to change that about herself, and that's why she was glad to help Shizuku. Shizuku thinks that Madoka made a place where she belonged by becoming a magical girl, and thinks she could do the same someday. She then thanks Madoka for giving her hope and leaves. Madoka thinks she's lucky to fight alongside the people that are important to her, and goes off with Homura.

Madoka makes an offering to a shrine, praying for everyone's happiness, health, and the ability for her to protect everyone. It then starts raining, leaving Madoka wet when it stops. A girl offers Madoka a handkerchief and explains they just missed the bus. Madoka notices the girl has a book called "Waltz of the Maneki-neko", which is a book she likes. The other girl admits it's her favorite book. Madoka introduces herself to the girl, who says her name is Kako Natsume. The two spend the time talking about the book, eventually going their separate ways.

Madoka goes to a bookstore at the shopping mall and buys "Tango of the Maneki-neko", the sequel to the book she talked about with Kako. Kako herself is in the bookstore, to Madoka's surprise. Kako asks Madoka if she's a magical girl, saying she saw Madoka's Soul Gem ring. She reveals she is one as well. Madoka thinks this must be the Maneki-neko's work. Later, Kako invites Madoka to come on a night-time adventure at her school. The next week, Kako and Madoka meet at the school, preparing to go to the roof. As they try to go inside, the girls are startled by a cat.

Kako says they can't seem to enter the school, so instead she suggests transforming and using their powers to hop to the roof. Once there, Kako tells Madoka to look up at the starry sky. Kako explains that on this day of the year "you can see the most beautiful stars". She says she learned that from "Waltz of the Maneki-neko". Kako claims the school rooftop is the best place to watch the stars.

Madoka thanks Kako. Kako admits she's shy and has trouble talking to people, but somehow she can talk properly to Madoka. Kako says this star viewing is her thanks. Madoka says that Kako's honest feelings got through to her. The girls affirm their friendship.

Sometime later, Madoka and Mami Tomoe fight a witch. Madoka sees a normal person was kidnapped by the witch and brought into her barrier. Mami tells Madoka to bring the person out of there while she handles the witch. A magical girl appears and says she's impressed that Madoka's helping people. She introduces herself as Sasara Minagi, "the 'knight' who protects this city". Sasara says to be precise she's a knight that protects everyone, and asks Madoka to leave saving the victim to her. She points out Madoka can then go help her own friend fight the witch. Madoka agrees and returns to help Mami. Together, they defeat the witch.

The barrier vanishes and the duo meet Sasara outside. Sasara says she brought the victim to the hospital. Madoka thanks her, and Sasara says her and Mami are quite strong. Sasara says they can call her if they're in trouble. She says that rescuing people is her specialty, and wonders if it would be easier to say she's a magical girl rescue worker. She says that protecting everyone is her creed, though admits that when she says it like that, it's embarrassing. Madoka says she's cool. Sasara says she happy to meet magical girls like Mami and Madoka. She explains that with Kamihama having more witches, more magical girls have come to fight them - but they only care about fighting witches, not saving people. Sasara says she wanted to become a knight because she can't accept people being sacrificed in the process of defeating witches.

Mami agrees with Sasara's opinion. Sasara admits she knew there were people who thought the same way, but almost never met any. Madoka says she became a magical girl to help people and says she's like Sasara herself. Sasara says Madoka is an incredible magical girl. Mami says Madoka might be the strongest magical girl someday...but she has a long way to go.

Sasara says both girls are worthy of taking the title of "knight". When Mami points out they use projectile weapons, Sasara says they can be a rescue team. She offers to team up with them, but Madoka and Mami point out they're not always in Kamihama. Madoka offers to help Sasara if she's in trouble and they're in Kamihama. Sasara thanks them and departs.

Afterward, Mami says that Madoka is too kind and too honest. She wonders if Madoka is walking a path of battle. Madoka points out Mami is walking the same path. She says she aspired to be like Mami, who is her ideal magical girl. Mami thanks Madoka but tells her if she's truly in danger it's better to run away. Madoka says it's fine, because she doesn't have the courage to sacrifice herself. Mami invites Madoka for tea once they return to Mitakihara. Madoka narrates how she wants to protect everyone with her own power.

(Abilities)

Due to many timelines being created by Homura Akemi in the Puella Magi Universe in order to save Madoka from the Fate of Magical Girls which is to become witches; the monsters that they fight within the series. The Magical Girl's wish depends on the ability the magical girl will get mostly.

But due to the timelines, Madoka can have many types of wishes for how she became a magical girl, like wanting to save a cat, or rescuing a friend maybe being wishes to big cake as a celebrate becoming a magical girl after Mami's fight with a witch (That totally didn't kill her brutally off screen right in the 3rd episode of Puella Magi Madoka Magica).

But the point is, Madoka's True abilities and powers are unknown, they could possibly be anything in any timeline, as for her Magia Record self her character's ability is healing, due to being a Heal Type magical girl.

And her attacks are all light based.

(Etymology)

Her first name "Madoka" seems to be mean "circle" maybe to be a relation to her magic circle which she can fire multiple arrows from, or for the other meanings depending on the Kanji used too of course which can mean "excellent, beautiful, good" this could relate to Madoka's Gentle nature.

Her last name "Kaname" seems to mean "pivot", "vital point", "Japanese photinia" or "play the music" and "rain" respectively.

(4 Facts about Madoka Kaname)

Fact #1: Her Magia attack is Latin for "Rain Magica"

Fact #2: The cover of DA VINCI Magazine 2020 for October, Madoka is holding the book The Neverending Story while Iroha is holding Little Women.

Fact #3: Madoka's doppel is based off of Kriemhild Gretchen's concept art from Madoka Portable.

Fact #4: Madoka's VA is Magical Girl Queen (as some people call her) is Aoi Yuki who you may know from other roles such as; Hibiki Tachibana in the Symphogear Series, Nodoka Hanadera aka Cure Grace in Healing Good Pretty Cure!, Diane in The Seven Deadly Sins, and Futaba Sakura of Persona 5 with a bunch of other noticeable roles both in Voice acting and live action.

I should also talk about Madoka's English VA while I have the change which is Christine Marie Cabanos, who you may know from roles such as Squid Girl in Squid Girl, Shiemi Moriyama in Blue Exorcist, Mako Mankanshoku in Kill la Kill, Sonoko Nogi in Yuki Yunna is a Hero, Hotaru Tomoe aka Mistress 9 and Sailor Saturn in the Viz dub of the Sailor Moon series. And a bunch more other roles.

(Ending)

And that's all I'll do for Madoka Kaname....Maybe I'll talk about Puella Magi Madoka Magica her in the future in her own separate video as keeping them both together would make this too long and this is also a Maiga Record Explain to be honest. But next time we're gonna talk about your hair-flipping girl....well a version of her at least...Homura Akemi aka Glasses Homura is who we will talk about next....but don't worry I'll talk about the Homura we all know some time later....But Glasses Homura is very important to Magia Record so we'll stick with that...anyways bye and see you next time!
