Idea
The Pun Tyrant
Up until almost a decade ago, magical girls were hidden from the world. Each generation´s guardian selected a group of girls worldwide to fight , if they chose to, against the "apparitions". To do this, a magical girl would allow herself to be possessed by a magical entity for the fight´s duration. This proved to be, however, insufficient, as a particularly powerful apparition appeared and caused such massive damage to several cities, that hiding them or the magical girls was no longer viable. Furthemore, the magical girls were almost extinct in that fight.
When a new generation of magical girls was created, the requirements had become a little more loose. Furthermore, since magical girls remained the ideal way to fight against the apparitions, they received support, with technology being developed in cooperation with the latest guardian to improve the abilities of magical girls. To account for the lack of the former purity and righteous ideals, magical girls were given quotas to fulfill, but their acts made them heroes, celebrities.
A divide spawned with magical girls rising in status. The support and number of magical girls made it so over time, some (even magical girls themselves) began seeing their actions as performances. Publicity , broadcasting, even magical girl tournaments were created. But in spite of all this, magical girls retained their status in society: Apparitions kept coming and the only ones that could defend humanity from them were magical girls.
