Doppel (ドッペル?), officially Doppel Witch (ドッペルウィッチ?), is the materialization of despair of Magical Girls in Kamihama City that are featured in Magia Record: Puella Magi Madoka☆Magica Side Story.

History[]

The first Doppel that appeared in the anime was Iroha's in episode 5. She used it unwillingly to kill a Witch. Mami Tomoe, Yachiyo Nanami and Tsuruno Yui witness this event. Mami is suspicious of Iroha but she doesn't know she's barking up the wrong tree. Later, Kaede also utilizes this ability while fighting Albertine.

In episode 7, Felicia's Doppel goes againt a Witch and successfully beats it. Meanwhile, Iroha's Doppel is released for one more time and is used for her good while fighting the Uwasa of the Misery Rhyton. Afterwards, Tsukuyo Amane and Tsukasa Amane release their Doppels while going against Yachiyo Nanami, Tsuruno Yui and Felicia Mitsuki.

In episode 11, Yachiyo Nanami's Doppel makes a cameo, having a chat with her for her self.

Etymology[]

The word Doppel could be deprived from the word Doppelgänger, a person who looks like exactly like someone [1], in this case, it could be said that a Witch and her Magical Girl counterpart are technically the same person. Addiotionally, doppel means "double" in German, hence the official name can be translated as "Double Witch".
