had to put together a quick translation for this scene in yuu's MSS because it made me laugh. children can be so merciless

#magia record #yumeno yuusa #momoe nagisa #i couldn't screencap it because nagisa blinked but yuu gets the depressed purple cloud effect when she says ''h-how terrible!'' #between how sad she gets at being told her magical girl form looks like a monster and the way she asks nagisa if she meant that nicely #i'm glad to know that yuu must think her magical girl outfit is cool/pretty instead of scary #something about the ''oh. that's okay.'' is really funny to me #my TLs #(someone else is translating yuu's MSS and there's the 29udon video as well but i wanted to do this anyway)

Watching someone's obsession/fixation slowly take over their life is great. One day they're posting normal things, the next they're posting about their new beloved blorbo, except their blorbo is a bald unicorn person who walks on four legs and has neck issues that is also a murderer with memory problems, and it's just like. Good for you. There's something for everyone out there.

#I'm Doing My Part! o7 #i love this too though #it's fun watching someone get into a new character/show/game/etc. and fall directly down a rabbit hole #like heck yeah buddy you post those anime girls. idk anything about that show but i'm glad you're excited #magia record #yumeno yuusa

Is Yuu going to become a new fav among all the rest?

It's too early for me to say for sure quite yet- sometimes I get super into a character for a week or two, then hop back into my usual territory like nothing ever happened- but things are certainly pointing towards "yes" right now. :'D

She's just so cute!! I love her wide eyes and kuchisake-onna mouth, and how expressive her face is despite not having any eyebrows. She's such a sweetheart and a people-pleaser; I like that she's not malicious at all in spite of her line of work. And I'm always a sucker for characters with animal motifs (PB was my favorite faction before I even got to Arc 2 lol), so she's got that going for her as well, aha.

#time will tell if she gets up to Constant Brainworms Tier but she'll at least be on the fave tier below it #my giant son who only grievously harms people sometimes #i'm not as forgetful as yuu is (thankfully) but that part is a mood too #i feel her on forgetting what i'm doing/thinking while i'm in the middle of something #nothing like getting halfway through a sentence and then being like ''wait. where was i going with that again'' #she probably also has the curse of ''walks into the room and immediately forgets what i came here for'' #asks #magia record

Witch Font collection Part 1 - Madoka Magica

This font collection was still in its infancy when i first started making it and i've come a long ass way since i first remade the few fonts i had and the ones that were lost.

Musical Font Runes is the only one i revectored to add new letters to it. the others were hand done by me or remade by hand.

I will be making more fonts in the future but for right now heres the handful of them i made.

#oh wow this is awesome! #magia record #madoka magica #reference

Event: Nagisa's Wish [Updated]

Translation Credits: Official NA server

Recording/Editing: Vivi

Here's the updated video of Nagisa's Wish with Yuu's new Live2D! If you want to see her in motion specifically, she appears around the twenty-two minute mark.

If you want to compare videos, you can watch the old version on my youtube channel here.

#the way yuu moves is so... uncanny #mostly because of the angle she holds her head at and her piercing stare #she's strange-looking in the most affectionate way possible #magia record #momoe nagisa #yumeno yuusa #video

[juriyuna]

Yuu is most obviously themed around a unicorn, but I think you could compare her to a kelpie, too.

The kelpie usually takes the form of a grey, black, or white horse standing near a body of water, and acts sweet and even-tempered to lull people into riding or petting it. But once they do, they find themselves stuck to its fur or ensnared by its mane. With its victim unable to escape, the kelpie takes to the water, diving into the abyss to drown and devour them.

The kelpie's behavior fits with how pre-contract Yuu saw herself as a twisted, deceitful person who was only pretending to be kind, and how she used to have (somewhat unwanted) thoughts about dragging Kei down into the depths with her, away from everything else. And much like how kelpies bind themselves to their riders to drown them, Yuu and Kei tied themselves together with a ribbon before throwing themselves into the sea-- with Yuu, the "kelpie", being the only one to come out of the water alive.

It could be a coincidence, but I thought it was neat anyway! 🐴 Giving Yuu an equine-themed outfit and doppel was an excellent choice from a thematic perspective.

#i know i've been yuuposting a lot the last couple of days but she's good #magia record #yumeno yuusa #unfortunately i thought of a giraffe kelpie and. :| don't like that. #long neck sticking out of the water... watching you...... #there are legends about how you can tame a kelpie by grabbing hold of its bridle #which you could probably apply to shii if you wanted #yuu attacks people on shii's behalf regardless of her own feelings on the matter

Magia Report 329

Yuu sometimes when talking will drop into this kinda spooky/intimidating voice. It's very sudden and I love it

#her VA knocked this role out of the park #magia record #yumeno yuusa #video

[juriyuna]

As soon as Yuu was released the first thing i did was to listen to her voice lines, not only because of who is voicing her (the Sailor Moon!!) but because i was very curious as to what sort of dimension her voice would add to her character.

And it's particularly interesting the way that her voice sells how... empty she is, like not only in that losing her memories destroyed her sense of self and her morality (like i had initially expected), but in that she doesn't seem to have a firm grasp of anything beyond the ideas of "Yuu", Shii, the list, Magical Girls and Witches. Like, it's like she doesn't even know what being a human even is.

That much is obvious just in the way she speaks, like she keeps switching back and forth between multiple voices and running over her own words, like she speaks out of muscle memory and can't control the sounds that her mouth makes. But also, some of the stuff she says is... concerning, here's a few lines:

(I got these from her F*ndom quotes page i didn't know where else to find them)

"We're together today too... is that the same as yesterday? Does that mean tomorrow's gonna be the same!? And two days ago too? I guess after tomorrow too... wait so even today too!?"

From her first login, notice how by the end of the sentence she forgot about whay she said at the start completely. Also it's hard to convey through written text but, not only her sense of object and spacial permanence is nonexistent, she seems to genuinely have a hard time undertanding the concept of time:

"Did you just say good morning? Oh that must mean it's morning nowiseewaitdid i... did i sleep? I'm bummed... no i'm not, aha! Morning!"

Her morning login.

"Did you just tell me good night...? 'Good night' is what you say when you're done for the day!? So if we keep repeating 'good night' forever, can we stop tomorrow from coming...?"

Her night login

A couple of her lines showing her extremely short memory, and how it affects her fundamental understanding of things:

"Man, i'm so hungry... WAIT! I think i was just full...! Which was it! Doesn't it really suck how you can never tell what's inside of your tummy?"

Noon login.

"Sorry! I...! What was i thinking about? Do you know? Can you tell me? What a bummer, what a bummer... Wait, what was i bummed about?"

Her standard login (honestly same).

"I gotta get goinghmm...? Where was i going again?"

Story end 3

"If your arms or your legs get really old, then why not just rip 'em off? It's gonna grow new ones so it's okay, here, lemme help you!"

Tap 4.

"Nagisa-chan loves cheese, meanwhile i have 'someone'... 'someone' is me! So don't forget about cheese and 'someone' even when tomorrow comes, alright?"

Magical release 1

"Y'see, ghosts only come from the past, they don't be coming from the future! So why... can i only go to tomorrow?"

Magical release 2

Also this one is just, man...

"No matter how many times time turns back, i'll keep doing the same thing! 'Cause i don't wanna pretend that all the times i messed up and all the times i was sad weren't real!"

Tap 8

It's also extremely unnerving how genuinely childlike and innocent her "main", higher pitched voice is, like i can't explain why but it really sells that she does what she does all because she genuinely doesn't know any other way to live, not least because it seems she wholeheartedly doesn't seem to be able to think beyond the current moment, like she just goes with the flow of time without having anything to ground herself on.

I think that, while having a fully fledged design added to her "inhuman" factor in a creepy manner, like, compounding to the idea of this beastly Magical Girl that rips people's organs off, her voice made her "inhuman" in a much crueler and sad way, in that it served to illustrate that she is the way she is because it's quite literally the only way of living that she knows.

#yuu forgetting what she's doing while she's in the middle of something is a mood #magia record #yumeno yuusa

[juriyuna]

Yuu's forearm alone is the length of Kei's entire arm from wrist to halfway up her bicep. If we assume that Kei is within an average height range (5'0"-5'4"ish), Yuu must be gigantic-- my rough calculations put her between 6'6"-6'10". Intimidating...

#''she's tall so she stands out'' YOU DON'T SAY #magia record #yumeno yuusa #kei (magireco) #and then kyubey gave her heels and a huge disc collar in her magical girl outfit because she wasn't big enough yet #this makes her scurrying after people simultaneously funnier and scarier to imagine

[juriyuna]

#turtle #giraffe #video #makin my way downtown #walking fast #walking faster

[juriyuna]

So I was auto farming and I looked down at my phone and YUU WHAT HAPPENED TO YOU

#so this is why her nickname is ''the sleepwalking ghost''... #magia record #yumeno yuusa #gif

[juriyuna]

Yu chibi !

#look at that smile!!! i am patting her on the head (carefully) #magia record #yumeno yuusa

[juriyuna]

kei's ghost must be feeling some type of way. she got into this pseudo-D/s relationship with her childhood friend, yuu, in which they kept enabling the other's worst traits until they eventually tried to commit suicide together, but kei was the only one who died. then yuu, unable to bear the grief of living without her beloved and afraid of how other people would see her, made a contract with kyubey to erase her own memories.

now she works as an overly cheerful hitman-slash-wannabe-hero who gallops around the city at night in a unicorn costume, killing Bad Guys(tm) with her rocket hooves and trying (unsuccessfully) to make friends with random magical girls she comes across. i would be rolling in my grave. i too would haunt nagisa and ask her to go kill yuu to put her stupid pea brain out of its misery and save me the secondhand embarrassment of knowing i used to let this girl choke me

#why are tragedies so easy to make jokes about #objectively everything that's transpired between these two is sad but. god #magia record #yumeno yuusa #kei (magireco) #so far we've seen kei try to get homura and nagisa to kill yuu #does she ask other magical girls too? #the thought of her grabbing whoever she comes across and telling them to PLEASE euthanize her pet giraffe is funnier than it should be

[juriyuna]

Here are the quest victory quotes for Yuu! Credit to @muffinrecord for the screenshots.

Top: We can't go back anymore, 'cause there's nothing left. Middle: Alright, we've gotta get to the next one. Bottom: If you're in a pinch, why don't I lend you a hand?

As always, friendly disclaimer that my Japanese isn’t the best, as I’m still learning. If you spot a mistake, please let me know, and I’ll fix it!

#magia record #yumeno yuusa #thanks for the TL! #now i'm picturing someone asking yuu to lend them a hand #and she tosses one of her hoof gauntlets to them
