Magia Exedra Info: Kamihama Magia Union Information (all in JP, translated by Google Translate and mistranslations corrected)

Iroha Tamaki

CV: Momo Asakura

A magical girl who came to Kamihama City to find out the truth behind a mysterious dream. She has a kind personality and is often overly considerate. She is not familiar with the latest trends and is awkward with smartphones. She is usually reserved, but shows her inner strength when it matters most.

“The warmth in my chest when I thought of my sister felt real.”

Yachiyo Nanami

CV: Sora Amamiya

A veteran magical girl who has been fighting witches in Kamihama City for seven years. She is well versed in information about Kamihama City and magical girls. She keeps her distance from other magical girls and keeps a life of “rumors” occuring in Kamihama City.

“I won’t suffer anymore… I will take with me the feelings they left behind.”

Tsuruno Yui

CV: Shina Natsukawa

A lively and reckless magical girl. She has great respect for her grandfather who led her family to prosperity and her noble and distinguished history. However, she is currently struggling to somehow retrieve the fallen Yui family, and in order to do so, she aims to become the strongest magical girl.

“Wow! This is me at my strongest! Yes!”

Felicia Mitsuki

CV: Ayane Sakura

A lively, headstrong, and free-spirited magical girl. She hates witches with all her heart, as they are the murderers of her parents and for that reason, she works as a “mercenary” and fights witches all over Kamihama. Her wild way of speaking is influenced by battle manga for boys (shonen). However, she is kind-hearted and loves animals.

“It’s my turn as a mercenary! I’ll give them a good thumping!”

Sana Futaba

CV: Yui Ogura

A magical girl who always thinks negatively. Rejected by her family and those around her, she has no confidence in herself at all, but she is kind to others and obedient to those who need her, and when she trusts someone, she will always quietly stay by their side.

“I hate not being able to overcome my past self… That’s why I’m going to break out of my shell…!”

(Momoko, Rena and Kaede are confirmed, making this post subject of change)

Ren Isuzu

CV: Yuka Ozaki

A magical girl who has been shy since she was little and has difficulty talking to people. She was isolated and struggled to survive, pushing herself into a corner, but then she discovered the world of magical girls and was able to pull herself out of rock bottom. She has grown mentally, but she still has timid moments.

“I’ve decided to live in this world…!”

Momoko Togame

CV: Mikako Komatsu

She is a big sister type magical girl who saves the novice magical girls when they are in trouble. She is sandwiched between two brothers and she has a straightforward and boyish personality. However, she actually likes cute things such as stuffed toys. She is also a fan of female idols.

“I won’t let bad timing get the better of me. From now on, I’ll take my chances!”

Rena Minami

CV: Ishihara Natsuori

A clumsy magical girl who can’t express her feeling honestly. She usually hides her lack of confidence behind a headstrong attitude, so she is easily misunderstood when you first get to know her. In contrast to her cold attitude, she has a sweet tooth. Her hobby is chasing female idols.

“Don’t hold me back, I’ll finish this in a matter of seconds!”

Kaede Akino

CV: Ayaka Ohashi

A very timid and anxious magical girl. However, she is kind and caring towards her friends, and will face difficulties for the sake of her team members. She loves nature, including animals, plants and insects, and is devoted to gardening at home. Also, one of her hobbies is crane games, although she is not very good at them.

“Because there’s something I want to protect, I’ve become a little stronger… Yes, I’ll continue to do my best at my own pace…!”

What are your thoughts on each major faction from Magia Record?

I love all the factions, they each represent some really cool ideas!

Kamihama Magia Union:

Love them!! I really do like the idea of an entire city full of magical girls banding together to share resources and support each other. Magical girl mutual aid, we love to see it.

Wings of the Magius:

THEY GOT DONE SO DIRTY!!! I hate how the Wings of Magius are often vilified by the story because like.... they're not wrong. Madokami doesn't exist in their universe, so all magical girls are screwed the moment they make their contracts. The Magius are the only ones trying to do something to end the Incubator's exploitation, and the Doppel system is even better than Madokami's solution.

I distinctly remember Iroha and the gang talking to one of the Black Feathers and the Feather was like "I saw my sister turn into a Witch. I don't want to end up like her and I don't want her death to be in vain" and Iroha is just like "I understand but the Magius are still wrong :("

Like for the record, I don't condone destroying an entire city to implement the Doppel system but it's really hard not to sympathize with these girls. The Magius are their one and only hope. I will say that I do appreciate what the story did with them later, with them joining the Kamihama Magia Union in order to find a peaceful way to impliment the Doppel system.

Promised Blood:

I'm glad Promised Blood was introduced because they cause Arc 1 to have stakes and consequences. The Kamihama magical girls have been (unknowingly) benefiting from the suffering of neighboring magical girls. If you didn't know, Kamihama has a surplus of Witches because Witches from surrounding areas are being drawn to the city. This in turn leaves a drought of Witches and Grief Seeds in neighboring towns. The drought got so bad in Futatsugi City that it led to a civil war and multiple magical girl deaths.

So yeah, very cool concept and I love how they introduce a lot of conflict and nuance in Arc 2.

Tokime Tribe:

I absolutely love the concept behind them and all their lore. The idea of a hidden village that produces magical girls whose wishes can be bought by the rich and powerful is so cool. I love how the entire clan is aware of magical girls, to the point where some families choose to move because they're worried about their daughters contracting.

Folklore of Zero:

Their background and motivations are so interesting. Their nihilism and resignation to their fates is very intriguing, especially compared to the optimism and perseverance displayed by the KMU. I absolutely love all the lore they introduce about the role of magical girls and the intentions the universe itself has for them. I also love how each member wants to publicize the truth about magical girls, a plan I wholeheartedly agree with.

Puella Care:

They're so cool! In Arc 1 Mitama introduced the really interesting concept of Coordinators (or Adjusters, depending on your translation) and I love how that idea was expanded on in Arc 2. I also appreciate how their neutrality is constantly tested and questioned.

Neo-Magius:

Probably my least favorite faction, although I don't dislike them by any means. The concept of magical girl supremacy is a very interesting one. I also like how their opinions and goals are just plain wrong, compared to how nuanced the rest of the factions are.

Day 24 of @magitober, Kamihama Magia Union! I wish we got to see more of her, but she's awesome~

Twitter post // Bluesky post

[abarero]

Mikazuki Villa + KaMoRe

{A wish to vanish from the world. A pursuit of endless, solitary revenge. A desire to reclaim lost glory. A chance to protect others by remaining isolated. And...a precious girl, forgotten by all around her. We have all lost something, and now we are assembled here together, linked by a mysterious fate. Our new story has only just begun...}

For @magitober Day 23: Kamihama Magia Union

Versions on the left come from the desktop version of the site. They are lower resolution, but also they are brighter.

Versions on the right are from the mobile version. Higher resolution, but darker.

Remember when people associate Kyubey with Capitalism? Magia Record just push that further with a legit Kamihama Union. A puella magi union. I don't know why but this fact tickle my brain so much.

You got nothing to lose but your chains! MAGICAL GIRLS OF THE WORLD, UNITE!!

[gorochuva]

Kamihama OC Prompts 1

@muffinrecord I decided to redo these posts since a lot has changed

1. What Magia Record character would/could your OC be good friends with? Himena. We've both lost someone dear to us, and became Magical Girls as a result. And now, those people live on through us.

2. What Magia Record character would your OC HATE? Nagisa. For a great deal of time, I would hold resentment towards the Law of Cycles for not saving him, even though I know it wouldn’t have been possible.

3. How would your OC feel about the Kamihama Magia Union? Indifferent-positive

4. Would your OC have joined the Wings of Magius, given the chance? Why or why not? Probably not. I wouldn’t have been a Magical Girl back then.

5. What would the name of your OC’s Witch be? If they were outside Kamihama, what would be a sad story of how they could turn into a Witch? "They were all joking about it from the start... Even right after, they were saying things like "That wasn't so bad" or "Could've been worse"... Why did it have to be him?... Oh, Riot… Please, come back! Come back… RIOT!!!!!!"

SCARLETT The Witch of Dice, with a heartbroken nature. Looking to preserve the feeling that moved her so long ago, she casts the die again and again, but it never lands in her favor. Her fortune only turns under the weight of bitter memories and only the presence of her nonexistent lover can help her move toward the future.

6. How does your OC feel about Mirrors? Do they avoid it, go there to practice, or want to solve its mysteries– or do they have a different motivation? I'd like to see how well the Witch can copy me

7. How does your OC feel about Kyubey? Do they know the truth about where Witches come from? I feel like I understand Kyubey. I know what it's like to not understand why people feel the way they do. Sure, becoming a Witch is scary, but I wouldn't be upset by it.

8. Your OC just unleashed their Doppel! What sort of inner battle takes place? How do they overcome their inner darkness? "It feels... wrong, cheating canon like this. Like I'm only living in denial. But... you're here, and you're safe, instead of being the price that was paid for your player’s mental health when there didn't need to be one. And that's all that should matter to me. I love you, Riot~"

9. Kaede is inside a Witch’s barrier and needs saving! How does your OC help? …Or do they not help? I'd decide to help only because I was passing by.

10. It’s Chapter Ten, and the fight against Walpurgisnacht beings. What is your OC doing? I try to read the Witch's memories. I want to understand what drove her- or them- to despair.

Peer-reviewing my own tags here because I still think I was cooking with this.

Madoka Magica is set in Shinbo's detailless voidspace and if you want to get literally any details about the setting you're going to have to extrapolate from one-off throwaway details in Rebellion. Part of why Madoka flops so hard is that this voidspace contributes to the solipsistic feeling where literally nothing matters outside the heads of the five and a half characters that exist in it; it's trying to do the Utena thing, but it can't commit to Utena levels of surrealism without sabotaging itself, on account of trying to maintain that thematic thread about the boundary between normalcy and the SHAFT-ass life of a meguca.

MagiReco's setting has history and life. Kamihama is a fully-defined place with its own class dynamics. You can infer a decent amount about a magical girl just by what school uniform she wears! Sure, the various non-Kamihama cities that get spotlit in arc 2 aren't as fleshed out just because the story does not take place there, but you still get a decent amount of view into them. Kuroe's catholic school and San's entire deal are completely different spheres of Takarazaki. You get what I'm saying. Watch MagiReco on the Magia Union Translations YouTube channel, it's free if you don't value your free time.

the biggest failing in american magical girl media is the lack of consideration behind the locations chosen. magical girl anime are always shaped by their location. if you want a Sailor Moon-esque story set in america, cities like New York or Toronto would fit it best. to capture the coastal suburban aesthetic that Precure uses, the pacific northwest or San Francisco Bay Area work as analogues

but if you want to set a magical girl story in a city without a clear analogue, you need to think about how that city would shape the story. what makes a Miami magical girl different? if you want a magical girl series set in Chicago, it might be best to adapt it into a gritty urban fantasy mystery sort of series

Kit takes you to a little villa with a cute yard and a very…”cottagecore in the city” vibe. Standing there is a group of magical girls, all around Kit’s age, maybe a little older/younger. It’s still a bit odd to see teenaged girls acting like adults and having adult responsibilities…That definitely isn’t kind on their mental health. Anyways! The pink-haired girl, Iroha, is definitely their leader. But the one with a black dress is the calmest.

Meet Yachiyo Nanami, one of the founders of the Kamihama Magia Union.

“YACHIYO-SAMA!”

“Eh?- Oh, hello, Kitsune. Who’s this?”

*octavia steps forward with a friendly smile.*

the names or- er, octavia. nice to meet you!

[crescentcrossbow]

Realization in the chat tonight: The battle that included Walpurgisnacht being a major contributing factor to the formation of the Kamihama Magia Union is oddly appropriate when you realize that the holiday Walpurgisnacht is the night before May Day.
