yknow my first watch through of rgu I was convinced Nanami was terrible, I love her, but the bitch drowned a kitten in a river! but thinking about it a lot since I finished watching the movie —but I don't think she drowned a kitten at all. I think this memory is one her mind fabricated in a state of trauma and is using this false memory to cope with the truth of no longer having the brother she so wholeheartedly adored, since he drowned attempting to save a girl

#rgu #nanami kiryuu #I've thought about this a healthy amount #and while other interpretations are valid #I just can't in good faith believe she drowned the kitten #even if she does have an incredibly twisted form of adoration for her brother to the point of worrisome over protectiveness #I don't think she'd truly hurt him in that way #plus with the movie being a continuation of the series in the sense that Utena and Anthy both finally escape together #and the black rose arc #it's pretty safe to say that a valid interpretation can say that Touga was a ghost the entirety of the series #and that his death was drowning in a river trying to save a girl named Juri #to me it seems more like symbolism #that Nanami crafted the memory of a drowning a kitten and hurting her brother's feelings with that #as opposed to accepting the reality that he was the one that drowned #and it was her heart broken that day as a result #it also fuels the over protective jealousy she has over Touga #and why she doesn't like even mundane things like sharing an umbrella to happen with another girl #because Touga was once kind to another girl and it cost Nanami her beloved brother
