I always thought it was basically instantaneous, but slowed down for the viewer. Like this all happened at hyper speed.

It could also be professional courtesy. Heroes get time to do magical transformations or to charge up their attack, villains get time to do their evil monologues.

magical girl should just sneak up on a villain and transform right next to them

i thought the villain would just see it as a quick transformation while the girls saw it as a long one

I watched winx club when I was little and assumed that the transformation was only visible to the audience and not to the villains. Then one of the villains said “it’s the same song and dance with you every time” or smth like that while they were transforming and I was like “WHAT?! YOU CAN SEE THAT??” For them to just stand and wait was not even a possibility to me

no one attacks the power rangers either when they transform

Still love Winx and that one time it was just the villians questioning why they just watch it instead of fighting, while commenting on the song and new outfits😭😂

plus there are certain rules you must follow
don't attack during the transformation sequence, don't interrupt the villain's monologue and only use the over powered moves after you have battled for long enough to fill out the air time of the episode without rules we are nothing

I once watched a magical girl anime where the MC's transformation takes about 50 seconds, and then a text appears at the corner of the screen saying "slowed down 500 times" or something, cant remember the actual caption

Naoko Takeuchi explained that the transformations of the Pretty Guardians is instantaneous. It is slowed down for the audience, but that's not what the villain sees.

in 'the great jahy will not be defeated' the girl vanishes for the duration of the transformation.

I'm assuming there is a similar thing for super Sentai? LOL. on another note, I always just assumed as a kid that it happened in like an instant.

Time dilation, to them it’s 58 seconds, to the villain it’s instantaneous. That’s my best guess

Lost.Journeyer :
if they transform twice in the same episode, the second time is usually just instantaneous
the sequence is in slow motion for fan service
in Madoka Magica they only do one sequence for the entire show, the rest is in real time

the....leo1g1 :
the entire electricity need of Japan?
so ramiel was a magical girl?
I always thought it was a stylized sequence. the audience gets to see the transformation, but the villains just see a flash of lightning and suddenly...BOOM! sailor moon

Misa.21.11 :
There is another theory on this that i realy like. You know how in some scenes they need to transform fast for something and in one shot they are in their regular outfits but in the next shot they are magical girls blokking some type of attack from hitting someone. MY THEORY is that the transformations are actually happening at light speed, we just Get to see ut in slowmotion
