It's surprisingly hard, given the circumstances. What could they possibly use, unless they attacked before she stops time? Antimagic may work, if it's in a bubble around a girl. Either it kills the timestop when Homura gets close, the girl gets to move around inside the time stop unaffected, or Homura just shoots her with a sniper rifle before either of those things become relevant. Having some sort of thread-shield that's immune to bullets and would connect to her if you got close might do it, but that's rather specific. Mind control, if applied beforehand? Precognition, to know not to show up in the first place? Illusions or invisibility might help you survive too.

Considering that all magical girls share a common, easily exploitable weakness in their Soul Gems, the only real way to stop her would be some way to render it immune to bullets and just outlast her reserves. Most characters in Mitakihara are pretty much the cream of the crop when it comes to esoteric magic, other than Kyouko and canon-Sayaka.

I think that everyone who wished for something that happened in the past to not have ever happened should have powers which can counter Homura's ones, while still being possibly not as strong as hers. Afterall, Homura wished for something that never happened in the past to have happened, so it would fit the scheme. And while even that kind of wish shouldn't be that common, there are still a lot of magical girls in the world who certainly wished for something like that.

The same goes for Sabrina with freedom's like wishes, but thankfully she isn't living in the 19th century, so it is actually possible that no one living had a wish like that.
 
My brain keeps pronouncing it as "dell-oh-deer" despite the fact that doesn't even match up with the letters.
 
Random thought - picturing a soon-to-be magical girl wishes to be a princess (maybe her family is on hard financial times...idk). Cue the wish making her a Yakuza princess.

Girl:.... I can work with this!

..... and thats how Hitomi already knew a magical girl before meeting Homura : p
 
I'd been reading it as "dee-doh-lee-reh", because while I looked up the word, I read it with English long and short vowels, rather than Latin.

Something to note for readers that came up in conversation with @Firnagzen, Dedolere is pronounced in the proper Latin fashion -- roughly "day-dah-lay-reh" when read in a broad American accent

On the topic of Latin-derived languages, reading back on the informations from chapter 10 of magia record I noticed something that's been irrationally poking at my mind since then.
Iroha's magic is called "Strada Futuro"
Is that correct?o_O
 
Got to admit that I just can't make the correct pronoun cation flow right together in my head, there's always a pause between the sounds in my head.

I think I suck at language.

According to Google Translate, that's Italian, and means "Future Road" in English.

Maybe it ties into how Iroha is the proverbial nail that led the MagiRec timeline to diverge so drastically?

Thanks. It's just that in italian, "strada" is a female noun, so the correct translation would be "Strada Futura", and I wanted to know if it was a typo or else (which doesn't seem to be the case).

On a totally unrelated topic, I realized there is still the vote going so

For what it's worth.
 
For myself, I've I've been reading it as "dee-doh-leh-reh." So, almost right, but I was not expecting that kind of "o" pronunciation.

That's what they WANT outsiders to think. In a situation without "clear injury" to Tokyo, are the real specs for Tokyo different from any other forum?
I would wonder if Toshimichi can immediately get twenty girls on an arbitrary basis. Morale is not so great over there.

Good point. Tokyo is too fractured to be able to muster a lot of meguca at once, so Homura would only need to deal with small groups at a time. She'd probably be able to rampage (non-lethally, of course) for a while before she met up with someone who could counter her.
According to the people we talked with so far, Tokyo lacks a strong central government, an army/police force, or actual politics in the first place. That means that anyone who wants all of Tokyo to go to war has to go around and individually convince each group to fight. That's pretty much never going to happen. At best we'd see a couple of groups allied together, but probably not many more than we can bring to bear. We'll never see a battle where we have to fight all of Tokyo unless we intentionally pretend to be an existential threat to them, AND give them enough time to organize and convince each other to fight. Even then a good deal of them might just run away instead, or hope that the rest of Tokyo can deal with us without them.
