Magical girl site plot12/27/2023 ![]() ![]() ![]() Bloody magical girls with a heaping side of agony is the name of the game here, and we’re only guaranteed more of it in the near future-Kaname (hint hint) guarantees it. This episode more or less functioned as teaser material by showing the torture porn shenanigans to expect going forward, and in that regard it didn’t disappoint. Don’t deny, you know that spiel is coming next. Downsides to the power? Limitations? True purpose for Aya’s ability beyond death by teleportation? Superfluous miscellanea to figure out at a later date, particularly once our second magical girl Homura Yatsumura Tsuyumo ( Akaneya Himika) finishes with the general magical girl overview. All we have so far is that big heart stick-gun thing gives Aya the blood crying crazy eyes and makes bullies find sudden interest in the front ends of speeding trains. ![]() As aforementioned it’s easy to guess the Mahou Shoujo Site and those who operate it have some nefarious purpose behind handing out weapons of mass murder to tormented girls (at least if Aya is any indication), although what it is will likely be a midseason reveal, you know, because suspense. Such craziness though likely factors into the mechanics of MSS’s story which so far (of course) is a big black box.
