A Complete List of Puella Magi Madoka Magica Franchise Openings and Endings

Note: This is a work in progress and will be updated. If you know of anything that can and should be added to this list, please let me know.

This strives to be a comprehensive and accurate list cataloging all of the openings, endings, credits or MVs in the Madoka Magica franchise.

Major Spoiler Warning: Because this is a list that contains openings and endings for the entire Madoka Magica franchise, there will be spoilers for the entire franchise. Please proceed with cation. However with that said, I will do my best to keep any spoilers limited to what is in the opening or ending itself, so no episode, movie, or game spoilers.

Version: In this list you will see something like OP 1 V 1. I will be abbreviating opening as OP and ending as ED, and the V is for version. Version refers to differences in OPs that are not significant enough for me to call it an entirely different OP. For example V 1 and V 2 are largely entirely the same, except V 2 will have 1-10 seconds changed from V 1.

Playlist: This is a link to my YouTube playlist. It contains everything on this list that I could find on YouTube.

How Persona 5 Royal tells us Akechi's story using every aspect of the game (Spoilers)

Everything about Akechi's third awakening is so peak. I had always had a passing interest in Persona since i love jrpgs, so having a social sim element to that felt very cool and I loved the concept of you becoming closer to your teammates having a tangible effect on the gameplay.

But I'm telling you Akechi's third awakening absolutely sold me on this. It's a perfect marriage between the social sim mechanics, the jrpg mechanics, and the over all story of the game as well as the culmination of Akech's entire character arc.

We see his two sides both in the story as his confidant, The public's perception of him as a "detective prince" we see this personified (hehe) with his "prince" or red mask form and his persona Robin Hood in the dungeons and Shido's hitman and enforcer and we see this again personified (hehex2) in the dungeons with his black mask for and his other persona Loki. I'd wouldn’t call either his "true form", they are both equally aspects of who he is, however both are entirely dependent on others perception of who he is or who they want him to be. Hardly either are his "true spirit of rebellion".

The thing is the "third awakening" is actually fusing his two personas into one. Fusing Personas... literally the entire mechanic of the dungeon part of the game where you take two personas and combine them into a new, more powerful best version of themselves...

Only by staying by his side and proving to be a good ally and his best friend can he take his two personas that represent other people and beings expectations of him, shackles that bond him by fate, and reconcile both parts of himself becoming the best, most true version of himself braking his chains.

We were literally the wings of rebellion that broke the yolk of his heart.

The fact that we helped him become the best version of himself made me cry. How literally everything comes together in that moment. I didn't even realize till I sat on the ending for a day or two, like in a way where it was so well written and so cohesive you don't even notice in the moment till you look back on it. Video games truly are art.

One of many reasons I love Akechi Goro (Persona 5 Royal) Spoilers below

Persona 5 has a big thing about mask, like the actual self vs the self others perceive or expect you to be. It’s very relatable to most people and to myself. It’s prevalent in all the Phantom Thieves and even all the Palace rulers. Akechi I think has one of the most beautiful conclusions to his arc with this in mind. He has two masks two persona’s, his pleasant mask he hides behind for the public and black mask a viscous killer a pawn being used by fate and gods and adults. I wouldn’t call either of these his definitive “true mask” or “true version” they are both equally a part of who he truly is. And his second awakening isn’t an evolution, but rather a fusion of both his personas both masks. By staying by his side and proving yourself as a steadfast partner and a true friend, Akechi is able to reconcile both parts of himself, no longer being tied down by public perception of fate and becoming the most true version of himself and the best version of himself. That’s shits so beautiful it made me tear up. Akechi was finally able to break free of all the chains binding him down and you helped him do that. You helped him become the best version of himself. You helped free him. That’s so beautiful.
