Puella Magi Madoka Magica/Characters: Difference between revisions

* [[Dissonant Serenity]]: He always wears that creepy smile (although in all likelihood that's just his face being cat-like) in the anime. He almost always talks cheerfully in both versions (probably his face is more expressive in the manga to show this), regardless of context, only demonstrating any degree of distress a few times.

** Even better - being almost always cheerful is his functional equivalent of [[Creepy Monotone]], almost certainly adopted to make him less suspicious. [[Lampshade Hanging|He recognizes]] that his voice should show distress in situations of obvious danger, like when he's running from Homura, and, as later revealed, can also sound surprised ([[Magnificent Bastard|although it's very rare for something to be truly unexpected for him]]), but more nuanced emotions apparently are too alien to him to mimic them convincingly.

** Combined with [[Catch Phrase]] and [[Memetic Mutation]] ALL OVER THE INTERNET.

* {{spoiler|[[Even Evil Has Standards]]: Kyubey disapproves of Madoka killing Sayaka, be it ever so inadvertently, in her attempt to stop in-fighting amongst magical girls, and he even rebukes her for doing something "that's crazy."}}

* [[Your Approval Fills Me with Shame]]: Gives a [[Nice Job Breaking It, Hero]] [[Wham! Line]] on one occasion:

{{quote|{{spoiler|"You've done great, Homura. You've raised Madoka to become the most powerful witch ever."}}}}
