Tiro Finale (ティロ・フィナーレ)
Overview
----
Tiro Finale was first seen on episode 2, where Mami Tomoe used this move to finish off a witch named Gertrud by summoning an enormous flintlock cannon using her ribbon. It is a one large shot that lets out a huge damage, killing a witch instantly. While Mami's flintlock cannon shape changes it's shape from time to time, it is still seen to be large in size whenever it's summoned.
In Puella Magi Madoka Magica, it is the only move used by any Puella Magi that is actually named, since the other 4 Puella Magis do not shout out their move names when they fight. Hence the Japanese viewers regarded Mami as a dellusional girl. And it is currently known as an underground meme used by some people, although not much.
Tiro Finale means "Final Shot" in Italian. Initially it was supposed to be named Ultimate Shoot but the scriptwritter, Urobuchi Gen thought of the name to be too plain, and did some research and ended up using Tiro Finale as the move name.
In the manga, Tiro Finale was named "Filo Finale" instead, and the weapon used was much smaller sized compared to the anime.
