* UnintentionallyUnsympathetic: The original manga definitely angles for Oriko as a TragicVillain who is trying to do the right thing in the worst possible way, but the rushed pacing and scattered plot left little room for characterization beyond "deluded KnightTemplar", even aside from her being the cause of the DownerEnding, and left some even viewing [[spoiler:her TogetherInDeath moment with Kirika]] as too generous for her. One of the main things ''Extra Story'' and ''Sadness Prayer'' seemingly set out to do was establish two things: in the former, that she ''does'' have the capacity to be a genuinely heroic person, and in the latter, that there were very good reasons why she ''wasn't'' a heroic person in the actual series.

Was just reading Oriko Magica. While Madoka is distraught that Homura is only protecting her, Homura and Madoka were separated from Hitomi and Sayaka and the others so she couldn't have done anything since they weren't near her, and both Homura and Mami note that it's impossible to save everyone. After Homura explains her reasoning and puts her in a barrier for her protection, Madoka apologizes to her and promises to go home together; the witch from the panel resembles Kriemhild Gretchen's mountainous appearance with clouds swirling above her, so it doesn't resemble Devil Homura.

It's possible that Madoka would still become a magical girl after learning of the AwfulTruth, but it's not far-fetched to say she'll likely make the same wish she did at the end of the anime. In her own self-righteousness, Oriko thinks she has saved the city, but in reality she actually has doomed it because she has killed the only one who can defeat the Walpurgisnacht.]]

* OffscreenMomentOfAwesome: After the RousingSpeech by Yuma, Mami promised that they will make Kyubey pay for tricking them after they beat Oriko. But then Homura [[spoiler:rewinds time before that happened because Madoka died.]] Dammit, Homura.
