Seriously? The very first attack and it guts Tomo and Yoko. It's shit like this that makes me wonder how, despite all of the training/guidance we've given those three, the lack of an efficient, rapid healer (aka Sayaka) means that they're always one bad roll away from a TPK. Then again, seeing as injuries in witch battles with this quest are usually handled like they are on Happy Tree Friends, I wonder how any MG's that lack effective healing powers or a teammate with such last more than a couple weeks after contracting.
Gee, it's almost like throwing civilian girls into life or death fights with reality warping abominations without any actual combat experience is more likely than not going to kill said civilian girl or something unless they've got a survival based powerset, an extremely good powerset/weapon or they've got tons of magic to throw around. But that's not right, the girls are champions of love and justice! They should be able to overcome all their challenges with the power of friendship and determination! It's not like the entire system is set up to cause them to witchout/die as quickly as possible or anything.
And man, it's almost like the girls surviving their horrible injuries prevents them from going home because there'd be questions involved, cutting them off from everything they've known as they expend magic to try and heal the wound enough to pretend everything's normal. And even if they managed that, there'd still be questions on where they vanished to for a couple days whilst they did that. And wouldn't those questions just be
awkward. And impossible to answer without lying to their parents. I mean it's not like they can go to a hospital and go "Oh, I'm missing my arm, could you regrow/reattach it for me without telling my parents."
And wouldn't you know it, if the injury's bad enough, why, they might not even be able to hunt, or, god forbid, even fully heal it with their current stock of seeds! Causing them to get ever more deperate as their grief ticks higher and they're completely alone, with no way to hunt for seeds, no friends to help them, and no parents to comfort them. Man, I tell you, it'd sure suck to be in that situation.
Huh. Looking it at it like that, it really WOULD suck to not have a healing powerset or not know someone with a healing powerset. Why, it's almost like being a magical girl is a bad thing or something. But that's crazy, Magical Girls are champions of Love and Justice and win though the power of Hardwork and Guts!
