ROUND 1, Part 34

[judedeluca]

I've frequently seen people complain that Tsumugi Wakana's magical girl costume is generic and plain, yet when taking her wish into account her costume makes a lot more sense.

Tsumugi's wish was to help Manaka Kurumi, as befitting Tsumugi's ardent desire to support Manaka and her cooking in the role of a consumer and a critic. Her weapons are a modified knife and fork, which matches with Tsumugi's love of eating good food.

Tsumugi's costume is plainer than most magical girl outfits on purpose specifically because her wish was to support someone else. Naturally her costume wouldn't be that flashy because it would defeat the purpose of her wish if she overshadowed Manaka.

Magia Record Headcanon: Mikage and Riko's future

After several years, Kanagi steps down as leader of the magical girls of East Kamihama and passes the torch to Mikage and Riko.  The two opt to colead, just as Yachiyo and Mifuyu once did the magical girls of West Kamihama.  They divide their responsibilities, with Mikage overseeing Daito while Riko oversees Kousho, but as co leaders they still reach out to each other and discuss any situation before making a decision.  The two make perfect foils to each other, as Mikage has the ambition to take risks and get things done, while Riko tends to be more cautious and think through the potential consequences of any action taken; together they make a perfect team.

As time goes on, Riko begins running her family’s bento shop, and has learned from her parents how to prepare the food that they sell.  Taking a page out of Ashley’s book, she has also dipped her toes into being an influencer, with a focus on food preparation.  Ashley, Manaka, Tsumugi, the Yakumo sisters, Konoha, Leila, Yachiyo, Tsuruno, and Rabi are among her first followers, as well as her old babysitter, whose child has grown up hearing stories about the days that Riko and the babysitter spent together and so wants to be just like Riko.  Riko gifts them her old whale-shaped knife when the kid is old enough. Himika is one of the first new employees she hires.

Sometime later, Mikage takes over the Tomorrow Shop, and consults Mitama and Riko for advice on running a business, which leads to her dealing grief seeds to magical girls from behind the counter when necessary, and eventually she expands it into a much larger store.  As a teenager, she models herself after her sister, but is significantly less flirtatious, not to mention better at cooking thanks to Riko, and the children that frequent the shop often come to her for advice.  A surprising regular is Mitsune, who thanks Mikage for preventing Jun’s sanctuary from closing down and has created an online homepage for the shop.

Magia Record just released new witch forms in the latest Factor of Despair event and I'd like to go through them and give my thoughts!

Do be aware that these are just my opinions :3 (also don't expect an in depth analysis this is just me gushing incoherently over designs)

Spoilers Below

Starting with Obariyon, Tsumugi Wakana's witch.

I'd like to start this by saying that this might be one of my favorites of the bunch. They're all really good, but something about this one just really pleases me. When I first saw it my first thought was "witch" and I know that's silly because obviously it is a witch, but the design really encapsulates the witch designs in the series, at least to me. What I'm trying to say is that it fits. It's beastly, it's bizarre, and it has a theme*.

I wasn't exactly sure how a vacuum witch was going to look but they pleasantly surprised me with this one. I especially like how they turned her into a bear, I find that very neat.

*Note that this is a crude list of what witches are. I'm sorry for the shallow, dumbed-down tldr of a witch but I really liked this design and couldn't find the right words to explain why, plus my brain is running on fumes. I hope the paragraph made a little bit of sense to at least someone reading ^^;

Carmela, Manaka Kurumi's witch.

What I like about this is how they continued to play into the jellyfish idea. When looking back at the doppel form, it gives me the idea of the jellyfish life cycle: going through the ephyra stage and transforming into the medusa stage, where the tentacles grow longer. It also eludes to an octopus with its many arms all multitasking, but the jellyfish idea still works, and is probably better.

Jellyfish have two kinds of tentacles: the stingers to paralyze the prey, and the oral arms to bring food into its mouth. Carmela has these two arm types as shown above: the ones with the burners and the ones that hold the cooking equipment—the dangerous arms that could harm anyone if they got too close, and the arms to serve food.

It also appears that Carmela lost her chairs that once stood on her face, only to be replaced by some kind of mass. I'm not sure what it could be, but I think it could either be fuel or the mysterious meat that she serves to guests.

Hevelius, Mifuyu Azusa's witch.

I'll be honest and say I didn't know what to think of this witch form at first. I'm not exactly a huge fan of the witch designs that are more on the humanoid side; however, this design does make sense for the bird-catcher theme.

A bird-catcher isn't just an object like a cage (which was what I originally thought of when hearing the term), but also a person who catches birds, and as we know, Mifuyu's doppel's description is a reference to the bird-catcher character from the novel Night on the Galactic Railroad.

When I remembered that detail, I came to appreciate the witch form much more.

Pennen Nenemu, Nemu Hiiragi's witch.

I originally didn't like this witch form because I thought it broke the whole bird-theming shared between Iroha, Touka, and Nemu's doppels (the loss of the red beak the doppel had). The only thing it has left that could tie into birds are the tail feathers and cape but that seems about it.

Still, I don't hate this design and I in fact still like it in its own way. I know I said that I wasn't a fan of the more humanoid witches, but that's not to say I outright hate them. Besides, the more I look at the picture the more I come to admire it.

Pennen Nolde, Touka Satomi's witch.

Something I liked in Pennen Nolde's doppel design was how the matchsticks were attached to its hanger, but here it seems more like she carries them around in her little basket. Another thing that's different is the clothes. The more elegant, frilly cloak/dress the doppel had is now more modest and meek, which does tie into the character that the doppel/witch references: the poor girl selling matches in Oscar Wilde's The Happy Prince.

Still, in my personal opinion, I feel like they could've done more with this design while still maintaining the ties to the girl from the story. I feel like they should've kept the matches attached to the hanger (which in turn would still be coming out her back) as that would've made her seem more intimidating, kind of like a peacock. But then again, Charlotte wasn't intimidating and she was still dangerous and kicked ass.

Overall it's solid.

Finally, Old Dorothy, Alina Gray's witch.

Obviously we weren't going to get a bunch of paint splatters as those weren't the doppel's true form and was instead the cute little paint tube that sprouted from Alina's back. I was most excited about this one as Alina's one of my favorites and I have to say I wasn't disappointed.

I adore the gas mask as it plays into the toxicity and virus-like quality of the paint she produces. The little blue lines on the face also play into that theme as it appears she's sick as well, putting her in a perpetual state of dismay. Perhaps she looks like that because Alina herself is disgusted that she got a cute witch form as opposed to a nightmare creature.

Unfortunately I don't have much to say other than I like it and would love to see how Old Dorothy fights in battle

Finally, we're done. Feel free to share your thoughts and opinions of these designs if you'd like.

Thoughts:

Kaori started wearing kimono as a maid in a formal household, but found that she really liked it... So she'll wear kimono on a daily basis when the opportunity presents itself. She definitely sticks to tsumugi, and mostly buys second hand. She's collected quite a few just from women in her neighborhood whose children didn't want their old kimonos... She might make her own accessories, too?

On the other hand, Jane Doe is a regular kimono wearer, but not a real enthusiast in the same way. She likes furisodes but she started wearing them in public mostly for the visual impact--at home, she's more likely to pick casual stuff. She prefers modern, striking styles, so she'll spend that Author Money on picking out new ones, and she doesn't wear tsumugi often cause again: it's about the VISUALS. Depending on the day, she could get real into chatting about them, tho!

Wakana likes kimonos well enough but not for every day wear... She does like haori, tho. She likes finding soft and pretty ones she can wear over her normal clothes, and would definitely be interested in altered kimono fashion. Depending on the verse she'd either happily indulge or hide her hobby to avoid being "weird", but eventually let herself do what she likes.

No one else has a real passion like those three!
