Madoka defenders, can you explain to mewhy Madoka's little brother remembers her?Or is it just some kind of "we needed to make the ending more cute" thing? It doesn't seem to make any sense at all.
He doesn't remember her. He can actually SEE her. Because he is a child.
He and Homura are her last two attachments to the world so they can hear and occasionally see her.
They are why she is remaining as a Bodhisattva instead of going on to Nirvana as she is entitled to.

>Because he is a child.
So all children can see her, or just him? At what age does this stop? Why does being a child allow him to see her?

Quantum leap. Only children and insane can see her.

same reason why children can see ghost
its just chinese things you guai lou wont understand

I was diagnosed with high-functional autism and I saw things and ghost too when I was a child. This could be a realistic explanation if this is what you are looking for.

What are you even talking about? Maroka was his perfect original creation. It might be slightly similar to a girl named Madoka tho.
>>133963970
I always just assumed that those closest to Madoka remembered her subconsciously. With him being a kid, when he needed an imaginary friend, his subconscious provided him with Madoka.
Really though, I never gave it much thought. It's your typical "some still remembers the person that got erased from existence" thing. Probably better not to think too hard about it.

Yeah, it really doesn't make any sense other than being that "someone who knew her remembers her somehow" trope. One of the few things that bugs me about the original series, because Homura had Godoka give her something and also didn't delete her memory, but her little brother didn't have anything so unless she thought "I'll make him see me as some imaginary friend" and did that offscreen, it's just there for the sake of being there. Not worth thinking too much into it.

It's common folklore/superstition in Asia. Children are innocent and have good imagination so they're able to see ghosts/spirits/whatever.
When you grow up and lose that innocence you can no longer see them.

He's the chosen one.
