UGHHHH. OKTAVIA. WHEN I GET YOU MIKI-SAN. episode 9 thoughts. right. - Oktavia's screaming & crying in the first encounter sounding more like her human self, it's still distorted but like. That's Sayaka thrashing and pleading. Then later on during Kyouko's fight against her she lets out a more guttural roaring cry. As if she wasn't already at the point of no return. Sounds like she's screaming underwater. - Refusing to directly attack Kyouko until Homura appears to retrieve Kyouko and her corpse. Using her magic to pelt her with the train wheels for the majority of it at all really. She uses her swords more as a wand (or conductor's baton) than an actual physical weapon. - Kyouko having to avert Madoka's gaze in shame and a shared grief as she carries Sayaka's body btw. All while Homura's explaining the metamorphosis of magical girls to witches. - During the fruitless attempts to sway her grief seed back into a soul gem, Kyouko's link barriers broken twice, Oktavia reaches out and grabs Madoka, forcibly yes but not actually crushing her. Her true best friend since ever. The one she joked about marrying. If not Kyousuke, who else would the little mermaid immediately choose as her suitor? If she wanted to kill Madoka then and there she would have crushed her. Apprehensive. - The result of this action is getting her arm severed (not an uncommon occurance for Sayaka all things considered), busting open the dam to an endless ocean of blood. She really could give it all. - The sheer depth of the concert hall's main room. When Kyouko rips the floor open and all three of them fall, the underside of the labyrinth seems to be a bottomless pit of reversed seats. Drowning. Endless love and endless hatred. - After it all the only named characters besides her friends acknowleding Sayaka's death are Kazuko and Junko who can't even bring themselves to talk about it to anyone else. Distinct lack of Sayaka's family in this and in the whole series tbh.
