Madokami *probably* doesn't exist yet, so I'd say they're either gone or in the generic afterlife.
In Oriko Magica, Kirika gets her gem chipped and starts rapidly accumulating Grief.
So what you're telling me is that someone wished for the Incubators to use a better energy resource, and QB's answer was to open a rift to hell for Argent?
Time for some illegal Human Transmutation
Yes, though it's possible that they will persist after death until they finally give up the ghost. *badm tzk* Punintentional.
I don't see why not.
I don't think so. The soul gem has been shown to survive internal damage and some degree of external damage with no detrimental effects. As long as it is mostly in one piece, it should be okay. This seems to suggest that the soul gem holds the soul inside, and is not itself the soul.
Maybe because she was afraid of dying and started freaking out?
Who have we encountered that actually does this? I think it's just Airi Anri we've done this for and that's it.
I'm spacing on where, but that's not the only source on "Cracked Gems Spiral Faster," so I don't think that's psychological. Besides, in Kirika's situation in Oriko Magika, the only thing she cared about was what Oriko needed - her wish was directly messing with her mind. I don't think fear was a factor for her.
I feel like coobs would probably do better at this than the corp that tried it in Doom honestly.
I always head canoned it as boys having slight variations on a girl's standard abilities that tended to make them much harder to kill and therefore resulted in them hanging around longer and preventing Kyubey contracting new ones to replace them. Namely, due to the resemblance between a soul gem and Koschei hiding his death inside a needle in an egg, etc, they can go any distance from their soul gem at the cost of crippling weakness if any soul but theirs touches it.The canon explanation is allegedly that girls are more emotional, which... simply isn't true. Boys just learn to repress it. So my PMAS-canon explanation is that Coobs chooses to contract girls (for whatever reason).
Funnily enough, if you consider the notion that Coobs doesn't understand emotions, then, well, it might be wrongly choosing to contract only girls because of incorrect cultural assumptions.
On the other hand, the out-of-story explanation is that it's a magical girl story, ergo, you have magical girls.
Which is weird because sending people to the past is confirmed to merge/replace the souls of their past selves with the previous iteration of them, and the effect is not strictly limited to Homura. But I know so little about the specifics of that power that I don't mind the huge handwave.
Soul gems are Fabergé eggs and witches are the unique little surprises hidden inside, so think of that what you will. And that poem is very interesting as well, so have an insightful and a bookmark.
Probably when magical girls became a cultural norm and magical boys... didn't.
they're called comicbook superhero teams
Power Rangers, Kamen Rider, Green Lantern. Masculine transforming heroes are absolutely a thing. Also, Kyuubey has been around longer than agriculture and likely had a large role in deciding what things became cultural norms.
