The hugely popular anime "Puella Magi Madoka Magica" was released as a spin-off smartphone app game on August 22, 2017. Pre-registration for the PC browser version began on DMMGAMES on January 7, 2019. Due to the popularity of the original anime, this app has also received positive reviews. In this article, we'll introduce you to "Little Kyubey," a character that appears in "Magia Record." While Kyubey is very well-known in the original "Madoka Magica," the character that appears in Magia Record is "Little Kyubey." What is the difference between these two characters?
What is Little Kyubey?
As its name suggests, this character resembles a smaller version of Kyubey from Puella Magi Madoka Magica. While it looks very cute, it remains shrouded in mystery. It is a character controlled by the player during the game's adventure section, and is given a player name set in-game. One notable difference from Kyubey is that it does not speak clearly human language. It only makes sounds like "mokyu," which the magical girls seem to understand. While regular Kyubey has been missing in Kamihama City recently, this tiny Kyubey has been appearing instead. Iroha says, "I feel like Kyubey is an irreplaceable presence to me," but Yachiyo is wary of him due to his mysterious presence.
What is Kyubey in the Original Story?
Kyubey is a mysterious creature that offers contracts to middle and high school girls: "I'll grant you one wish of your choice in exchange for your destiny to become a magical girl and fight witches." He's very cute, but he's also a bit elusive. He used to recruit magical girls in Kamihama City, but he hasn't been seen in the city for about six months to a year. Incidentally, in 1429, during Tart's time in France, Kyubey was known as "Cube," and Tart called him "Angel" and adored him.
Normal Kyubey cannot enter Kamihama City
According to Kaede, normal Kyubey has not been appearing in Kamihama City recently. Instead, this small Kyubey has been appearing. There are still many mysteries surrounding this setting. For this reason, he only appears in alternate stories, and according to them, he is unable to interfere with Kamihama City. However, since he has appeared frequently outside of the main story, it is unclear what will happen next.
Speculations about Little Kyubey
Magia Record is shrouded in mystery, leading to a flurry of speculation among players. Since the player name is the name the protagonist gives to little Kyubey, some speculate that little Kyubey dispatches magical girls, while others speculate that he might be Tamaki's younger sister, Ui. There are also many theories that little Kyubey is the final boss, but this is difficult to pin down, since little Kyubey is the player's role. The sheer mystery allows for a wealth of speculation, which is one of the game's greatest joys.
Little Kyubey Summary!
That concludes our introduction to "Little Kyubey," a character from "Magia Record"! There's still much mystery surrounding him, and given his character's unique nature, there's always the possibility that he's the mastermind behind everything. However, he's a very cute and soothing character. When "Magia Record" is adapted into an anime, we'll likely get to see even more adorable little Kyubey than ever before. I can't wait.
