I like to think that Homura beat the living shit out of the Incubator in that last scene, to punish it further for everything it has done to keep her and Madoka apart

I love how Homura's response to Kyuubei's declaration that they should never have messed with human emotions is Hitagi Senjougahara's "Ara, sou?"

It think that the part where she becomes a "giant" is a visual representation of how the tables had turned against the Incubators. The audience can thus relate strongly with Homura when she catches Kyubey effortlessly and shows it it's place!  xP

<p>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.</p>

By the way, I have a theory about this, but I'd like to see what other people have to say.

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
