Curator note

Which magical girl is the most powerful? A magical girl whose highest belief is to protect? A magical girl who's always shouting "friendship!" And "bonds!"? Considering that magical girl powers are subjective, and that a pufferfish-type magical girl gets angry when denied and becomes arrogant after a few words of praise could also be the strongest candidate. Since power comes from belief, wouldn't "not wanting to die" be a belief that can support the strongest magical girl? Mu Ming is the most qualified to speak on this matter: "I was born timid, and then I was reborn into a world where monsters spawn right in front of me. If I'm not allowed to become stronger, how am I supposed to survive?" "Magical girl powers are all wishful thinking. What's wrong with a man becoming a magical girl? If you go downstairs to pick up takeout, monsters will spawn right in your face. In a month, you'll have to become one too." "The system says there's an even bigger boss coming up later. If I don't get stronger, what if the magical girls can't beat it? Then I'm doomed!" "You're saying the system is something I imagined... That its magic is leaking all over the world? Nonsense! Don't disturb my peace of mind!"
