Uruca Plays Through Episode 3 of Mahou Shoujo no Majo Saiban in a Five-Hour Stream

INDEPENDENT — Uruca streamed the third episode of the murder-mystery game Mahou Shoujo no Majo Saiban (Magical Girl Witch Trial) on Friday, playing for just over five hours and ending on the trial and execution that close the episode. The stream was the third in the series, titled “Mano Saba #3.”

The episode opened with the characters planning a picnic. Early on, Uruca reached an abrupt bad ending while the story followed Emma, and laughed that it was a very sloppy one. Later, in a branch where Sherry and Hanna slipped away together, Uruca reacted with surprise that it was another bad ending, then allowed that it was a happy one in its own way. While the characters speculated about how stress turns people into witches, Uruca wondered aloud whether it builds up like water in a cup.

“It felt like the best kind of worst.” — Uruca, as the stream ended

About an hour and a half in, Hanna was found dead in a burning guesthouse, and a trial followed at roughly the 1:52 mark. Uruca worked through the evidence aloud, at times saying they were stumped, until the discussion pointed to Sherry, who was said to be injured. Sherry admitted to the killing and described how two of the guesthouses had been swapped to make the scene look sealed from the inside.

Afterward, Uruca said the proof in this trial was thinner than in earlier ones and that Sherry could have argued her way out. Sherry was executed by burning. Viewers found the vote hard to cast, with one writing that this was the heaviest the button had felt so far.

Uruca closed the stream by saying it felt like “the best kind of worst” and telling viewers to go to bed sad. The next session is not fixed, but Uruca said it would likely be around Monday, with the stream to be announced on social media and YouTube.
