My Crazy Utena Theories #4

That really was Ruka's sword. And someone did polish it while he was hospitalised. Of course, it wasn't Shiori.

Shiori went to Ruka's clearly labelled locker. The sword is identical to the one she draws from his chest for the duel.

Obviously, Ruka was on to all Shiori's bs from the start. He said that just to catch her in a lie later on. I mean, she clearly didn't know him before. She looked surprised to see Juri talking to him and showing him such respect, when Juri's usually just aloof and intimidating. Shiori is jealous of someone else being close to Juri, yet also intrigued by a boy who is so much like Juri. She intends to take Ruka for herself due to her jealousy of anyone else getting Juri's attention, as well as her urge to make Juri jealous, in kind. But, being the bi disaster that she is, Shiori falls for Ruka's charm, playing into his hand. Though I do think he eventually realised Shiori's true feelings for Juri and wanted her to admit it. He was upset that she kept claiming he was the only person she ever loved. Ruka knows he only has a few days and will step over anyone to achieve his goal, yet his goal is truly selfless. He only wants Juri's happiness, whether with Shiori or free of her.

Delving a little deeper, I think we can infer from the flashbacks and inner dialogue that while Shiori was at her other school with her previous beau/boy who liked Juri/purse, Juri progressed in fencing at Ohtori, and Ruka became her sempai and confidant. The two were very close and she probably told him something about her locket, (but likely not the who or what gender. I think Akio told him that in his sleazy Akio way.) while he may have hinted at his own unrequited love to her. Juri said she was only "filling in for him" as head of the fencing club while he was ill. We see from their fighting styles that he taught her all her best moves. Even when she's at Ruka's throat, he's still extremely important to her. She's thinking about him when he's gone/ dead to Ohtori's closed off world of immaturity.

The person who actually kept Ruka's sword polished, awaiting his recovery and return to the school, was Juri herself. I have always thought that. It's what Juri would do.

After 6 (?) months of playing Arcaea…

I finally reached ptt 11! And also my first 10 EX that got me to 11 in the first place!

Man I never thought I'd go this far in Arcaea... I always thought it was too hard until I decided to fuck it we ball and start to play the game seriously... MAN I kinda miss it when I got Inkar-usi as my first FR...

Ruka and Momo.

They are Shizuka’s best friends in high school.

Ruka is the energetic tomboy of the gang and she has a perpetually filling stash of snacks on the go at all times. She’s very athletic and strong, possessing a natural affinity for sports and physical prowess for battle. She hates math and regularly forgets to do her homework, mainly because she prefers to play videogames in her free time. This prompts regular scolding from Shizuka, though Shizuka is also very giving of her time to help Ruka with her studies so she doesn’t fail her classes. Shizuka met Ruka in the first week of high school when the latter caught the former feeding a biscuit to an ‘invisible being’. Despite being a non-Stand user, Ruka was very laidback about the whole thing and readily accepted that Shizuka had an invisible pet of sorts, even asking to feed it too, much to Shizuka’s pleasant surprise.

Momo is a very beautiful girl, invoking an air of mystery and grace. She’s very into the occults and the practice of reading the stars. Often being asked out by her fellow male peers, she turns them down with a look that suggests she is seeing beyond their corporeal forms into the unknown. She gives the impression of an otherworldly medium connecting the world of the living and the spirits, and indeed she does possess the ability to sense and communicate with beings of the non-physical realm. It is thanks to this ability that she believed Shizuka had nothing to do with the harm inflicted upon the latter’s aggravating bullies (at least not on purpose; Shizuka had no idea what Rick even was and therefore had no control over him). Momo is a non-Stand user but she can sense a Stand’s presence with her mysterious powers. Shizuka became friends with her during middle school.

The three remain best friends for life even when they part ways after high school.

TFW I see other people claim to get Ruka, yet still judge him to be an awful person and accuse him of things he didn't actually do.

Sure, Ruka's kind of a jerk, but you know who's an even bigger jerk? JURI! Look at what she did to Utena! Ruka kissed Juri to get her locket. Juri acted like she was about to kiss Utena, then attacked her and tried to wrestle her rose crest away, even though Utena was yelling for her to stop. Juri isn't shown being genuinely nice to anyone till the last few episodes, after Ruka's gone. And don't even get me started on Shiori! And again, they're my three favourite characters. Yeah, they're messed. Everyone in the show is messed up. It's a coming of age series. And the most important part of maturing is growing as a person. Not your age, not your body, but your mind. You start out a brat, you grow to be a well-rounded person. Maybe. God willing...

Must channel rage into fic...

Suzuki, Yamada and Tanaka were not included because the poll only had 12 options and i had 13 characters. They were chosen because they had the lowest percentage. If you don't agree, please tell me so!
