Stickman: Waterboy? What are you doing here?
Waterboy: Clapping for a certified magical-girl success story!
StickGirl (Magical Girl Form): A-ah... thanks?
Waterboy: Seriously, StickGirl. You nailed the form.
Stickman: See? I knew you could do it.
StickGirl (Magical Girl Form): I-I did...
Waterboy: But you both forgot something VERY IMPORTANT.
Stickman: What did we forget?
StickGirl (Magical Girl Form): W-what?
Waterboy: The classic naked mid-transformation beat before the magical girl outfit finishes forming!
Stickman: That is not a requirement!
StickGirl (Magical Girl Form): W-we are NOT adding that!
Trouble-sensei: Waterboy is correct. It IS essential.
Waterboy: HA! I knew it!
Stickman: Why are you here?!
Trouble-sensei: Observe the archetypal mahou shoujo naked mid-transformation sequence pioneered by mangaka Go Nagai: Honey Kisaragi's transformation into Cutie Honey.
Waterboy: See? Nude body, radiant silhouette, costume forming, heroic pose. The whole package!
Waterboy: Nagai-sensei's version and the anime are far more lewd than this though... Damn you WhatIF TOS!
Trouble-sensei: And the sequence becomes routine.
Honey Kisaragi: After a while, you barely think about it.
Waterboy: And it didn't stop with Cutie Honey!
Trouble-sensei: Usagi Tsukino and Madoka Kaname both inherit the same visual language in Sailor Moon and Madoka Magica.
Stickman: Why is this a live demonstration now?
StickGirl (Magical Girl Form): I am leaving.
Sailor Moon: You get used to the sequence.
Madoka Kaname: It's a little embarrassing, but... yes.
Stickman: Her transformation worked perfectly without it!
StickGirl (Magical Girl Form): Exactly!
Waterboy: Incomplete data.
Trouble-sensei: Retest required.
Waterboy: Round two! We are correcting history!
Stickman: NO, WE ARE NOT!
StickGirl (Magical Girl Form): W-Waterboy!
Trouble-sensei: Begin the retest.
StickGirl (Magical Girl Form): S-Stickman? Are they telling the truth? Is that really standard for magical girl transformations?
Stickman: ...
Waterboy: Well?
Trouble-sensei: Answer the question.
WhatIf Chan: Sigh... yes. They are indeed correct.
WhatIf Chan: Hold on. Madoka is here?
Madoka Kaname: Um... hi?
Waterboy: By the way, WhatIf Chan! JD still hasn't watched Madoka Magica yet! I've got the screenshots as the receipts to prove it!
WhatIf Chan: Dad, the new movie's out now! If you don't watch Madoka right now, I will personally bring Waterboy over to our house to kick you in the crotch again!
Stickman: She doesn't need that trope!
StickGirl (Magical Girl Form): Exactly! My form works perfectly without it!
Waterboy: You sure about that? Because I recorded the whole transformation. Millisecond by millisecond.
WhatIf Chan: Waterboy, you did not.
Waterboy: Oh yes I did! Lets find out if that mid-transformation sequence is hidden in this footage, shall we?
StickGirl (Magical Girl Form): W-wait! You actually have the footage?!
Stickman: GIVE ME THAT CAMERA!
Madoka Kaname: Is this normal?
StickGirl (Magical Girl Form): I-I can't stop blushing!
Waterboy: Catch me first, loser! HAHAHAHAHA!
