Zero Sum - 3

OK, here is why this explanation and therefore "Rebellion" itself make no sense. Even if you buy into this whole concept of "balance" - I didn't, it always seems like something that Kyoko Sakura made up, just to feel better about herself, and not to take responsibility for her own wish - then, you must notice that, in the end of TV series balance was preserved. Firstly: Homura is not Yin to Madoka's Yang, because Madoka herself was Yang to Kyubey's Yin- Kyubey was uncaring, emotionless, he was treating people like means to an end, and he was cynically deceiving girls for thousand of years. Madoka, on the other hand is carrying, very emotional and truthful. You see? Madoka and Kyubey are opposites, so according to philosophy of balance Madoka's sacrifice is nothing more than natural consequence of Kyubey's actions: if he was cynical and uncaring then, there must be someone who will be opposite of him, right? Secondly: there was already consequences of Madoka's wish: Wraiths. It was stated that you CAN'T change the world because you CAN'T change human nature - that's why tragedy and despair will never go away. All Madoka's did was to protect Puella's from turning into witches, that's it - embodiment of negative human emotions are sitll there (again Wraiths), and Puella's were still deceived by Kyubey and they were still destined to die. That's why you don't need Homu-Devil to counterbalance Madokami - Madoka herself is counterbalance for Kyubey and despair didn't disappear, it just change form.
