Note: this topic was somewhat addressed in [this
question](https://anime.stackexchange.com/questions/5926/what-happen-at-the-
end-of-the-third-madoka-magica-movie?rq=1), but remained unclear to me after
reading the answers to it.

At the end of Rebellion, after Homura has rebelled and created the Homuverse
where everyone can have their desires for love and friendship fulfilled, after
the end credits, we see Homura in a field, holding her new soul gem and
dancing around a mangy, scruffy, miserable-looking Kyuubei.

As the movie ends, the camera closes in on Kyuubei's face, and we see its eyes
seem to be ringed with the same black field as the witches' curses.

What exactly is going on here? It seems clear that Homura is torturing Kyuubei
for its many crimes, but what exactly is she doing?

What exactly happens to Kyuubei at the end of Rebellion?


They are burdened to deal with the world's curses. the reason why Wraiths
existed was because of the world's curses that normally was reflected with the
Witches

Soruce - [ʞɹɐzǝɹ's Answer](https://anime.stackexchange.com/a/161/1587)

When the Universe was being recreated Kyubey laments that it's kind should
never have messed with Human Emotion when Homura reveals that her Dark Gem is
the pinnacle of human emotions. When Kyubey tried to flee Homura catches him
and says she still needs it's existsnce to deal with the curses of the world.
after all, in Homura Universe, Magical Girls don't seem to need to fight
anything anymore

So Kyubey, or the Incubators in general, now exist to deal with the world's
curses thus eliminating the existence of Wraiths and the need for Magical
Girls to fight.

I assume at the end of the move where see a disheveled Kyubey Homura was
forcing it to deal with said curses or even punishing it more, after all it's
new existence is a form of punishment in itself
