Utena/Baiser:
Standard horny lust magic booster ability= magic level/stars increase when turned on.
(La Verita= Night spider's web).

[...]

Nero Alice (Doll house, doll creation controll, minor reality warp| No La Verita yet)

That's actually something I've been meaning to comment on for a while now, because Baiser and Nero's are very much non-standard.

Pretty much every magical girl we've seen has had fairly static powers. That is, they do one thing, or a small set of closely related things. Kiwi creates bombs in her base form and is a lightning bruiser in her upgraded forms, Leber can wrap people up in shadows, Sulfer hits things real hard. You get the idea. Baiser and Nero's powers, on the other hand, are much broader than that, allowing them an incredibly wide range of effects, limited mostly by their own imaginations and available materials.

The thing that really highlights how odd their abilities are is the fact that we've seen two different, normal, takes on Baiser's powers, first in the form of Lorde's hoard and then in the form of Pesca's golems. Both of them summon minions, but those minions are directly created from their powers and fairly consistent in form and function. By contrast, Baiser and Nero transform things in their environment into minions and those minions can have wildly different abilities.

Aside from wondering why Baiser and Nero are so different from everyone else, this also raises a second question in my mind: Since their powers seem to function similarly, is it possible that Baiser also has broader reality warping powers? Her web in La Verita seems to suggest that yes, she does, though it's notable that the web goes back to the standard template of creating a fixed effect directly, rather than manipulating the world around her. Either way, I hope we get more information on how abilities work and why those two seem so different from everyone else.

Now that I think about it, it may be similar to the difference between Lord's fixed high power and Baiser's power rising depending on her mental state. The reason Baiser was chosen by Vena as the leader from the start may very well be due to her boundless imagination (and Alice's broad powers would in this case similarly be explained by her unbridled childish imagination - just take the Ultraman battle, for example). Unlike the usual magical girls or villains who are limited by what they believe their roles should be like, Baiser and Alice are simply letting their fantasies run wild.

Magenta, please stop pleasuring your twat, and show us what your La Verita form can do!

I don't see why those things have to be exclusive. :P

AAAAAAHHHH this is so exciting and unexpected i can't believe i have to wait until next month to see what happens next!!!

This is so interesting I think we're going to get some really cool insights into Magenta. We've gotten some very interesting tidbits with her and she's always seemed offbeat with the rest of the cast, she's been the only simple and idealistic magical girl genre character, so I should've expected a twist was coming but I never would've foreseen this! I'm so fucking excited to dig into what she represents about bdsm/love/sex once we have more details

... I also want her to completely rock Sulfur's shit and melt her down into a gay little puddle with all her sexy corrupted magical girl-ness but that's neither here nor there...

I'm curious what Magenta's ACTUAL La Verita would've been; on page 19 panel 6 has an entirely different silhouette before the Flower of Lust encloses her. Chapter 40 showed there's still residual dark magic from the berserk Baiser fight inside her so it looks like it's capable of overriding her transformation.

I've been wondering the same thing. From "Fallen Medic" I'm thinking that her true La Verita would have been something with Heavenly/Angelic/Saintly- both because those tend to be the opposite of Fallen in this context and, while I don't know Magenta has ever been referred to with those adjectives, they definitely suit her- so maybe something akin to a cleric but fancier?

Yes, reading mangas involves looking at the pictures to see what's happening.

I have soooo many questions x'DDDDDDDDDDDDDD
SHE HAS A DARK STAR LIKE ENORMEETA MEMBERS. This transformation is definitively due to Berserker Baiser corruption. Like they have mentioned, the remanants of that corrupted magic reacted by themselves in chapter 40 and now they interrupted the La Verita transformation (as we can see in some panels, she was going to be wearing a dress just like she imagined), covered her in a black lotus and merged with her, that explaining the personality change.
DUDE, this manga is so freaking good x'DDDD ¡¿HOW CAN IT MAKE ME EXCITED WITH SUCH A CLICHÉ?!

Man the anime isn't even out and im already seeing many weirdo's claiming this as their own just like they did with Maid dragon and are acting like this series isn't yuri and calling people "yuritard" if they call it that and then you have the other side calling it yuri-bait that's fetish-fuel and pedo-pandering for straight dude.
I'm out here just hoping they don't censored it like crazy when it airs. Why can't a girl enjoy S&M Magical Girls in peace.

These days, if you say you're watching the middleschooler majou shoujo BDSM ecchi anime, they arrest you, and throw you in jail.

Trailer for the anime just dropped!

Looks like Magenta's new tactics are super effective against Baiser. (:

Every chapter we stray further from God's light, and that's great.

As expected the transformation was corrupted,

And so Utena was brought down by the consequence of her own actions.

Wow, Utena turned to dust in several different ways, haha. But Dark Magenta was very... honest with her feelings. I wonder what that means for her repressed desires?

Now, the anime trailer... AsahiPro. Damn. I was REALLY hoping for a studio that is going to invest absolutely lavish care on this. (Like, say, Studio Bind...)

That said, Utena's voice is PERFECT.

Utena and Sulfur reactions to Magenta's transformation.....I mean even though Magenta was acting a bit OOC (out of character)...she was mostly herself...just add additional horny(90%)+ Sadistic (8%) + Dom mommy energy (15%)...yes I know it goes over 100%, i don't care.

I mean she is still healing her teammates and giving/replenishing their Magic(MP)...just she is being a tiny bit sadistic (stabbing a needle in their butt) and being lewd...she is still mostly kind (Just mixed with lewd Dom Mommy energy=her caring nature/actions when she was playing with Nero alice/Korisu) to her teammates and focus on beating the so-called bad guys...She is still herself...just slightly corrupted...

Sulfur is so conflicted right now...probably enjoying this and yet shocked/confused at what is happening.

Utena (TAKING A LOT OF MENTAL DAMAGE), knowing when she went berserk she left some of her taint inside Magenta...Wonder if Magenta is going to keep that form or if they are going to try to fix things...


To the people reacting negativity to the anime...are they from Twitter or some lame anime news channel page...cuz Twitter people are snowflakes that just like to complain about anything...even the very stupid things.

At the beginning of this series, we would proabably rank tres magia from most to least seiso from magenta, azul to sulfur... and then switch sulfur and azul because of her maso tenancies she developed.

Now with confidence I can say the most to least seiso (at la verita) is sulfur, azul, magenta.

Also the twist being that Baiser was the one who unconsciously created the fallen medic is quite awesome

I’m actually disappointed with the twist being “oh you corrupted her with leftover magic” like that instead of being related to her character subconsciously like how people had been suggesting and theorizing to now. There seemed like there could be a lot of potential there but this seems pretty boring compared. Combine that with her not even remembering and it seems like (hopefullly just for now) this isn’t doing anything as far as her character is concerned - for all intents and purposes a new character might as well have shown up.
