Kyubey’s Little Secret (Puella Magi Madoka Magica)
Actually, These Are the Real Top 10 Anime Betrayals
At first glance, Kyubey seems to be the last thing that would betray anyone – especially little girls. The cat-like creature looks like it would make the perfect stuffed animal because of its charming looks and adorable facade. Kyubey is the perfect example of a little girl’s dream come true, and it’s exactly the main reason why it approaches them as a “messenger of magic” with the promise of granting them their biggest wish. In exchange, they must enlist as magical girls and must fight the witches terrorizing their world.
Kyubey’s offer seems a little too good to be true – become a hero and get whatever you want in return. But the truth is that the “messenger of magic” is actually harboring a dark secret about his agreement with the contractors. When those under the contract fall into despair, they become the very witches they hunted as magical girls. In turn, this chain of events become a ruthless and tragic cycle of killing and trickery.
