>>146401191
The chances of getting separated from it are probably bigger than the chances of randomly suffering fatal injury. Especially if you consider that half the cases of sudden fatal injury would probably also destroy your soul gem, which you are carrying on your body.
Really, the only way this makes sense would be a way better range so that you could leave it in a safe place.

As long as I get fun abilities to fight things, why not?

The solution is to house it inside your body in an extremely durable material normally not possible to be put into a human being as a strange shape

I like how anons think that protecting a soul gem from breaking is easier than just living out your life naturally.

>>146400375
I won't doubt it and do it right away

With such a tiny range? That depends. How durable is the thing? Would it smash if I dropped it from the second or third floor? I'll be fine if I fall over, will the soulgem be fine if I fall over and end up with my whole weight smashing it into the ground?

Explosions, getting hit by vehicles, long falls, etc will still break it resulting in your death. You can lose it, people can steal it, it looks fucking valuable. Even against bullets or melee weapons it relies on the gem not being hit.

I probably could deal with having my soul outside my brain, but the whole not feeling pain part relies on you detaching yourself, in which case you will incur in quite a lot of mental trauma before you manage to completely detach yourself mentally from your body, regardless how cool you think you are.

All in all, probably no, shitty phylactery.

You are as baka as Sayaka. If you do not have enough money, you need a job for gaining your livelihood. On the other hand, magical girls cannot exist without grief seeds or grief cubes, because they consume the magical energy for some reasons. Kyubey is not stupid.

>>146408657
>exceptional and exciting
people do that all the time without a soul gem. In fact, if you wanted to live forever you might as well choose a very sedentary life hidden away in a rural area. Basically, you'll spend your life entirely in the same exact fear you have now except with a total certainity that you are a monster who can't relate to humanity and unable to age or die because you won't kill yourself and no one knows that you have a soulgem.
If they find out, imagine the exploitation. They could test countless drugs on you forever.

>>146408929
Absolutely wrong, even gut bacteria can effect mood and they know the mind can effect the body too. It happens all the time in evolutionary psychology as well, its just stupid to assume that your brain can just get put into a box and be fine. Since we don't know the limits on the soul gem it could easily only activate when certain physical damage is done, so things like mental trauma or physical pain may not activate it at all, causing you to enter a 'normal' state of constant pain.
Magic is scary

>>146409094

Yes because I don't have the mind of a 14 year old and I'd rather look at how my mental state will be after 5 years of having my existence in a jar instead of the "OMG DOOD SUPERPOWERS IM GOD".

This is like an extreme version of those bionics/cybernetics threads. People think they are just gonna chop off an arm and replace it with a robotic one and be a cool cyborg, the reality is more like they end up with severe mental trauma from having a machine for a limb and stuck on horrible drugs keeping the body from rejecting it.

Moving your body is confirmed to be fueled by the same magic that darkens your soul gem when used in combat.

It's why magical girls have to continually keep hunting witches and can't stop fighting in hopes of avoiding the need for more grief seeds.

question

in rebellion, why does sayaka remember the original shit if this was all a dream implanted by the incubators?

Also why does she become best girl?

>>146425734
>why does sayaka remember the original shit if this was all a dream implanted by the incubators
Sayaka remembers everything from the original world because she left with Madoka to become a part of the Law of Cycles. They both returned to Earth to try and save Homura, who was trapped in her own labyrinth after becoming a witch.

>Also why does she become best girl?
Had the time to get over some baggage. Turned what used to be the symbol of her own destruction into her strength and resolve.

>>146425734
The Incubators only created the Isolation Field. Homura was the one who created the barrier and overrode the memories of those who entered. However, since Sayaka and Nagisa were sent by the Law of Cycles to save Homura, their memories were protected. Madoka purposefully forgot so that the Incubators could not control her.

And Sayaka never became best girl.
Homura > Madoka > Kyoko > Mami > Sayaka >>> Nagisa

>>146426134
>Nagisa were sent by the Law of Cycles to save Homura, their memories were protected

Rather than telling her outright I think Sayaka was trying to ease Homura into calmly accepting the idea that the witch who created the labyrinth wasn't evil, and didn't deserve to be killed.

But Homura found out the truth herself, drove the world to collapse, and tried to commit suicide.

>>146426257

The original little mermaid was a tragedy over playing the martyr for someone you're infatuated with, and receiving no romantic validation for it in the end, so essentially.

>>146426504
Not necessarily.
Gertrud's is a garden she takes care of, and she seems to like roses.
Izabel's is pretty much a monument to her own ego.
And then there are cases where it's more of a mild inconvenience like Charlotte being unable to eat cheese or Gizela not being able to live up to Sonic's legacy.

The only true "personel shell" is Roberta's, where her familiars just harass her 24/7.

Why the fuck not? You can even turn it into a ring where the actual gem itself is tiny.

The only big problem with Sayaka was that she DID have to fight witches and keep charging up her soul gem or she'd die.

Also no one fucking told her "yeah this is basically going to turn you into a zombie"

>>146417381

He did say you needed to charge it up and hinted that something bad would happen if you didn't

He also casually showed her that he would be willing to torture her if she tried to stop fighting witches.

I really like this stuff from the PSP game. All the characters get some decent humanization.

Can someone explain to me why this fan base is so fucking cancerous? I love this show, but Madoka fans just seem to be all around terrible people.

Because it's so popular, there are more shitty people overall in the fanbase. Shitty people tend to stand out a lot more than regular fans, so they appear to dominate most of the discussion. This in turn drives away non-shitty people, creating a vicious cycle that leads to the shit being front and center of the visible fanbase.

Maybe you are immune to disease. You, however, will age. Look at both Mami and Kyouko.

>Swallow it/put it inside your body.
every time you transform it gets put somewhere on the outside of your body as part of the costume. so that wouldn't work.

better learn some material science to then abuse your magic to create some ultra-strong material as cover for your transformed soulgem. some carbon nanotube mesh to absorb blasts.
