'''Homura Akemi''' is a character from the 2011 original anime series '''''Puella Magi Madoka Magica'''''. She is a gun-slinging, hair-flipping, mysterious magical girl who tries to prevent [[Madoka Kaname|Madoka]] from forming a contract with [[Kyuubey]] and become a magical girl like her. In the last few episodes, Homura's true intentions and backstory are eventually revealed, with the events making her arguably the "true protagonist" of the story. Indeed, she later stars as the main character of the 2013 sequel film ''Madoka Magica: Rebellion''.
   
  +
As a magical girl, Homura uses real military hardware to fight witches instead of magical weapons, and is later revealed to possess the power to ''control time''. In the fandom, Homura is mainly shipped romantically with Madoka as her actions and motives stem from her love for the titular character - although whether this love is romantic or otherwise is yet to be confirmed in the canon anime.
   
  +
The resident "dark magical girl" is the anime's best known competitor in [[saimoe]] tournaments, having won [[KBM|Anizone's Korean saimoe]] in [[KBM 2011|2011]] and scoring multiple decent results in notable contests such as [[r/anime|/r/anime]] and [[ISML]]. Ironically, in [[AST|2channel's original Saimoe contest]], Homura was the ''worst'' performing girl out of the main quintet because she did not reach the final round unlike the other four girls, only managing a [[E8|quarter-final]] result in [[Saimoe 2014|2014]].

''"When Akemi Homura introduces herself to her new classmates, she does so by stating her name only, as if anything more was a pointless effort and acknowledging those around her could only distract her away from what is truly important. Her demeanor is cold, but she has the looks, intelligence, and athletic ability that every girl can only dream of and is a natural idol among her peers. It is no surprise that other students wish to befriend her... but forging new friendships seems to be the last thing Homura has in mind.<nowiki>''</nowiki>''

''At face value, her words and actions are devoid of any hint of kindness and compassion. However, no one can truly understand the intentions guiding her, just as none can imagine the mental and emotional scars she bears. Her eyes are an abyss, a pit deep enough to conceal even her loneliness and the longing to wrap her arms around the one who means everything to her. Her heart is shackled, too broken to register anything but new despair and pain. Tears course through her veins in place of blood, tears she cannot shed no matter how desperately she wants to.''

===History===
  +
Homura is the most popular ''Madoka Magica'' character on [[r/anime|/r/anime]], as far as her results in the tournaments are concerned. She is best associated with the phrase '''"Homura did nothing wrong"''' (originally a response to her controversial actions in the ''Rebellion'' film), which has become both a running gag and a battle cry for her fans who desire to see her succeed in the brackets despite years of hurt and disappointment. Homura has also been involved in several restarted match days in the tournament's history, which coincidentally fits in with the fact that she has time-related powers.
  +
  +
The dark-haired magical girl debuted as the highest-seeded ''Madoka'' character in the very first [[Best Girl 1|Best Girl contest]] at #24. She reached the sixth round, but narrowly missed out on a place in the [[elite eight]] after she lost by 16 votes against [[Asuna]]. Since then, Homura's subsequent appearances in Best Girl have her get knocked out in round 4 against many tournament staples. However, she did break the 4th round barrier two times: in [[Best Girl 3]] where she lost to [[Saber]] in round 5, and in [[Best Girl 4]] where she upset #9 seed [[Megumi Tadokoro|Tadokoro]] in round 4 (which featured an link-heavy, <abbr title="Reddit Enhancement Suite">RES</abbr>-crippling post by an /r/Homura moderator)<ref>[https://old.reddit.com/r/anime/comments/6j4dvw/best_girl_4_a_certain_salty_railgun_round_4/djbg6kp/ Best Girl 4: Round 4 Bracket A] - Comment Permalink posted by Vakiadia on /r/anime (2017-06-23); [https://i.imgur.com/YIO2piW.png Imgur link when seen on RES]</ref> before getting knocked out by [[Yoko Littner]].
  +
  +
After a new ''Madoka'' movie serving as the sequel to ''Rebellion'' was announced in 2021<ref>[https://www.animenewsnetwork.com/news/2021-04-25/madoka-magica-gets-new-anime-film-as-sequel-to-2013-rebellion-film/.172103 Madoka Magica Gets New Anime Film as Sequel to 2013 Rebellion Film (Update 2)] - written by Crystalyn Hodgkins, Anime News Network (2021-04-25). Retrieved 2022-05-03</ref>, Homura's chances in [[Best Girl 8]] seemed hopeful, especially when she secured the #16 seed, her highest position to date. Unfortunately, she could not capitalize on the announcement hype, and she was eliminated in round 4 against the underseeded [[Tsubasa Hanekawa]].
  +
  +
On the other hand, Homura would enjoy relatively better results in the mixed-gender [[Best Character Contest]], because her character plot is one of her main appeals. After being denied in the last 16 by [[Spike Spiegel]] in [[Best Character 2]], Homura finally broke into the [[Elite Eight]] in [[Best Character 4]] when she defeated [[Mayoi Hachikuji]], but her run ended when she encountered fellow time traveler and eventual champion [[Rintarou Okabe]].
  +
  +
Two years later, Homura became involved in an incident when she lost to [[Zero Two]] in [[Best Character 5]]'s round 3. The match got suspended as the host received reports of outside parties influencing the result, which was implied to be Zero Two fans cross-posting the contest to their home subreddits and Discord servers - a definite possibility given their involvement in a high-profile match against [[Asuna]] in [[Best Girl 6]]. After a discussion thread was put up on deciding what to do with the brigaded characters,<ref>[https://old.reddit.com/r/anime/comments/kcl74i/best_character_5_saltgate_important_question/ Best Character 5: Salt;Gate! Important Question] - posted by ShaKing807 in /r/anime (2020-12-13)</ref> the host decided to restart the round, and requested the offending users to delete their posts promoting their character in the contest.<ref>[https://old.reddit.com/r/anime/comments/kd8x8x/best_character_5_saltgate_reround_3_bracket_a_and/ Best Character 5: Salt;Gate! RE:Round 3 Bracket A and Important Update!] - posted by ShaKing807 in /r/anime (2020-12-14)</ref> As a result, Homura won in the ensuing rematch, but she was eliminated by [[Shouko Nishimiya]] in the following round.
  +
  +
Homura would finally earn her first /r/anime honour by winning the second "24-Hour Best Girl" exhibition contest, which turned out to be '''/r/anime's 2020 April Fools''' celebration event as the title was switched into "Worst Girl of All Time" halfway through.<ref>[https://old.reddit.com/r/anime/comments/fsyfdy/the_ranime_24_hour_worst_girl_2020_contest_the/ The r/anime 24 Hour Worst Girl 2020 Contest: The Bracket (Part II)] - posted by AnimeMod on /r/anime (2020-04-01)</ref><ref>[https://old.reddit.com/r/anime/comments/ftbol4/and_ranimes_worst_girl_of_all_time_is/ And r/anime's Worst Girl of All Time is...] - posted by FetchFrosh on /r/anime (2020-04-01)</ref>. Given her divisive reception as a character, having her win the title instead of the likes of [[Kurisu Makise|Kurisu]] or [[Megumin]] seemed very fitting, and her fans don't seem to mind, because a win is still a win anyways.

Latest revision as of 03:36, 7 July 2022

Homura Akemi is a character from the 2011 original anime series Puella Magi Madoka Magica. She is a gun-slinging, hair-flipping, mysterious magical girl who tries to prevent Madoka from forming a contract with Kyuubey and become a magical girl like her. In the last few episodes, Homura's true intentions and backstory are eventually revealed, with the events making her arguably the "true protagonist" of the story. Indeed, she later stars as the main character of the 2013 sequel film Madoka Magica: Rebellion.

As a magical girl, Homura uses real military hardware to fight witches instead of magical weapons, and is later revealed to possess the power to control time. In the fandom, Homura is mainly shipped romantically with Madoka as her actions and motives stem from her love for the titular character - although whether this love is romantic or otherwise is yet to be confirmed in the canon anime.

The resident "dark magical girl" is the anime's best known competitor in saimoe tournaments, having won Anizone's Korean saimoe in 2011 and scoring multiple decent results in notable contests such as /r/anime and ISML. Ironically, in 2channel's original Saimoe contest, Homura was the worst performing girl out of the main quintet because she did not reach the final round unlike the other four girls, only managing a quarter-final result in 2014.

ISML Profile Flavor Text (May contain spoilers)
Akemi homura

ISML profile picture

"When Akemi Homura introduces herself to her new classmates, she does so by stating her name only, as if anything more was a pointless effort and acknowledging those around her could only distract her away from what is truly important. Her demeanor is cold, but she has the looks, intelligence, and athletic ability that every girl can only dream of and is a natural idol among her peers. It is no surprise that other students wish to befriend her... but forging new friendships seems to be the last thing Homura has in mind.''

At face value, her words and actions are devoid of any hint of kindness and compassion. However, no one can truly understand the intentions guiding her, just as none can imagine the mental and emotional scars she bears. Her eyes are an abyss, a pit deep enough to conceal even her loneliness and the longing to wrap her arms around the one who means everything to her. Her heart is shackled, too broken to register anything but new despair and pain. Tears course through her veins in place of blood, tears she cannot shed no matter how desperately she wants to.

And yet Homura holds her head high, never losing sight of her mission. She will do whatever it takes to grasp onto the single miracle afforded her. She will fight and mislead and betray. Brand her friend or foe, the love and devotion Homura exemplifies are a power far surpassing both time and space."'

r/anime[]

History[]

Homura is the most popular Madoka Magica character on /r/anime, as far as her results in the tournaments are concerned. She is best associated with the phrase "Homura did nothing wrong" (originally a response to her controversial actions in the Rebellion film), which has become both a running gag and a battle cry for her fans who desire to see her succeed in the brackets despite years of hurt and disappointment. Homura has also been involved in several restarted match days in the tournament's history, which coincidentally fits in with the fact that she has time-related powers.

The dark-haired magical girl debuted as the highest-seeded Madoka character in the very first Best Girl contest at #24. She reached the sixth round, but narrowly missed out on a place in the elite eight after she lost by 16 votes against Asuna. Since then, Homura's subsequent appearances in Best Girl have her get knocked out in round 4 against many tournament staples. However, she did break the 4th round barrier two times: in Best Girl 3 where she lost to Saber in round 5, and in Best Girl 4 where she upset #9 seed Tadokoro in round 4 (which featured an link-heavy, RES-crippling post by an /r/Homura moderator)[1] before getting knocked out by Yoko Littner.

After a new Madoka movie serving as the sequel to Rebellion was announced in 2021[2], Homura's chances in Best Girl 8 seemed hopeful, especially when she secured the #16 seed, her highest position to date. Unfortunately, she could not capitalize on the announcement hype, and she was eliminated in round 4 against the underseeded Tsubasa Hanekawa.

On the other hand, Homura would enjoy relatively better results in the mixed-gender Best Character Contest, because her character plot is one of her main appeals. After being denied in the last 16 by Spike Spiegel in Best Character 2, Homura finally broke into the Elite Eight in Best Character 4 when she defeated Mayoi Hachikuji, but her run ended when she encountered fellow time traveler and eventual champion Rintarou Okabe.

Two years later, Homura became involved in an incident when she lost to Zero Two in Best Character 5's round 3. The match got suspended as the host received reports of outside parties influencing the result, which was implied to be Zero Two fans cross-posting the contest to their home subreddits and Discord servers - a definite possibility given their involvement in a high-profile match against Asuna in Best Girl 6. After a discussion thread was put up on deciding what to do with the brigaded characters,[3] the host decided to restart the round, and requested the offending users to delete their posts promoting their character in the contest.[4] As a result, Homura won in the ensuing rematch, but she was eliminated by Shouko Nishimiya in the following round.

Homura would finally earn her first /r/anime honour by winning the second "24-Hour Best Girl" exhibition contest, which turned out to be /r/anime's 2020 April Fools celebration event as the title was switched into "Worst Girl of All Time" halfway through.[5][6]. Given her divisive reception as a character, having her win the title instead of the likes of Kurisu or Megumin seemed very fitting, and her fans don't seem to mind, because a win is still a win anyways.
