Because she was a cocky bitch and didn't heed Homura's warning because she used to bully her in elementary school.

Shock value
As for the reason within the story, I believe she was just overconfident.

Because she was careless due to her newfound friends in a monkey-pawesque twist of her "I don't want to die alone." wish.

because they wanted the fedora audience

>>90026594
THIS.

because madooka was a bad anim

I find it weird that she didn't shed any blood or anything.

>>90026584
>because she used to bully her in elementary school

where the fuck did this revelation come from?

Because Urobuchi is a tasteless fag

>>90026627
This seems most reasonable.

>>90026685
Did you not pay attention?

A magical girl's body is just an animated corpse. You die when you make the contract and your soul is stuffed inside the Soul Gem.

>>90026685
Remember the whole shtick about Magical girls possessing dead bodies?

>>90026547 (OP)
She didn't die alone.

Yeah it didn't really make sense. The moral of Madoka was NEVER that "friends lead to ruin". If anything, having friends should have made Mami stronger.

If anything, this particular death wasn't properly explained BUT it was explained later on that Mami dies in every universe and that it was inevitable. So the question isn't
>why did Mami get beheaded?
but rather
>why did Mami die at all?

To drive home that becoming a magical girl really is a sacrifice and they aught not to treat the decision to become one lightly. It frames their actions from this point on because Sayaka chooses to become one in spite of witnessing what it means.

>>90026751
>>90026756
then why did Kyoko bleed during her battle with witch Sayaka?

>>90026756
Sayaka had cuts and blood (though some wasn't hers) all over during Elsa Maria. Kyouko was bleeding everywhere during Octavia. And Homura too during Walpurgis.

>>90026829
I was not; that's Sayaka

>>90026756
>>90026751
Huh? But how do they even move if they don't have blood? heart doesn't pump, muscles root. Their bodies didn't look like corpses either.

So her soul gem got crushed when her head was bitten off?

>>90026868
>>90026862
Blood inside the body being released, but there's no heartbeat so the blood isn't spurting out.

>>90026922
MAGIC.

In before Mr T_max_brooks_is_a_faggot.jpg

Stop thinking so much Mr. Tripfag, you're supposed to turn your brain off when watching trash.

>>90026957
>but there's no heartbeat
Any evidence for this? Sounds like something they'd have noticed

I know right, nt nearly enough buildup, should've waited at least 2 more episodes, would have been way sadder

>>90026984
Hey but they said Madoka was deconstruction of EVA

Right.

THEY ARE FUCKING MAGICAL GIRLS.

MAGICAL

GIRLS

>>90026924
Incubator stated that Magical girls can take more damage than the average human for the exact reason that their bodies are soulless, walking corpses. It's basically implied that you could cut off all the limbs off a magical girl and they would still live but they would either grow the limbs back or be in a lot of pain and not be able to move very much.

As for cutting off the head... well, I guess that's sort of like a limit to the durability of a magical girl.

>>90026829
You're wrong in looking for a "moral" in her death. If anything, the point was that being a magical girl is incredibly dangerous work, and not paying attention can be deadly. The only real reason she died was that witches are dangerous motherfuckers and will kill you.

>>90027013
Kyouko's
>Isn't this a dead person?
Or however the line was.
As well as all that talked about.

>>90027063
Blood entering the lungs, Kyouko was still attached to her body so she kept breathing.
To allow blood to exit she puked blood.

>>90027031
So was TTGL, and my dick is a deconstruction of your mom WHAT NOW

>>90026922
They have blood.

Christ this thread is retarded

>>90027124
It's clearly coming out of her knee/leg.

Their bodies aren't "Dead'
Think of the soul gem as a machine that keeps the body working, just like on hospitals, If you take it away enough the body "dies", but while it's closer to its owner the body will work as a alive one.

>>90027124
When Sayaka Soul Gem was gone there was no pulse. If anything proves they do have heartbeats

>>90027124
Are you referring to when Sayaka lost her soul gem and dropped dead? She stopped being alive because her soul gem was out of range so it couldn't operate her body anymore.

>>90027166
No, it isn't.
It merely fell onto her leg.

>>90027103
Mami just died because her soul gem is located on the head. If Sayaka had her head eaten she probably would just walk like a headless zombie for some time.

>>90027122
But it was bad writing that she died RIGHT after that whole friendship talk with Madoka. Mami was meant to be a fucking pro at killing witches and she died at that specific moment? It made no sense. If they would have shown her dying at a different fight, that would have been better.

>>90026924
Yes, they added a shot of her soul gem shattering to the movie.

>>90027240
She was overconfident. She mentioned "I'm going to wrap this up quickly today!' because she was so elated to go have a tea party with Madoka when she contracted. She was rushing the fight, not taking it seriously enough.
