Revolutionary Girl Utena 25-29
Hey we’re 10 eps away from the endgame and me actually properly compiling this into something comprehensible because ohgodi’mtryingnottothinkaboutcreepyfuckakio. Sick flips on him though shit i’ll give him that.
Episode 25
So in light of the next episode preview, the opening is 100% more ominous.
Uh...Uh..Cars? Driving?Is...That Akio in the car?
WHO THE FUCK IS THAT. Akio?Uh...Uh...Am I reading too deep? That whole driving sequence felt...uh.
Goddamnit akio.
Holy shit the room is nice though. Like damn.
Wakaba...Ok, I get it.
Akio just god.
….Roses cutting between utena and anthy and family. Uh...hm.
Oh...Uh...Akio looked furious.
WHO THE FUCK IS THAT? Who are these people in the bck?
Rose duel place got...a gondola? Changed up?
The baseball metaphor suggests Saonji about to get blown the fuck out?
OH GOD NO FUCK PLEASE.
MORNING STAR? DERIVATIVE NAME? THIS FUCKER IS THE DEVIL
Anthy Framing is...uh...metaphro. Terrifying.
Is...Is anthy Jealous?
The Evil Laugh cinches any chance of this being ok.
….the Yin Yang thing? Again...
you seem familiar to me too? Uh...Anthy?
...Is that Dios?
THE TRUTH IS WHAT? WHATS THE TRUTH ANTHY?
Saionji played himself.
….Is...The car thing...What the hell? Why did his shirt fly open. And the Car...?
….What's with the horn...?
Akio, why do you look like a knock off dios...?
Is this a Touga Saionji centric ep...? Is this a bro moment?  I mean fuck touga, he ain't trustworthy, saionji had it right.
Akio saved the Girl who is implied to be utena. But...He's been in the castle for years.
Akio where the FUCK is your shirt.
Ok, that was actually cool as hell, I just wish he wasn't you know...Him.
...Saionji feelin himself again after the ride with Akio. Which...God, i'm hoping it's just me reading too much into shit and not that what I think happened happened.
Saionji, what the actual shit. Why is it every time you drop further down?
Shadow girls old schoolll?
Half the suffering twice the pleasure...?
Oh shit is this a new Apocalypse? Yeah man. YEAH MAN SHIT LOOKS DOPE ABSOLUTE
WHAT THE FUCK UTENA YOU NOT GONNA REACT TO ANTHY JUST...ANY OF THAT?
What's with the tree?...Is the lipstick new?
But the flower bush through anthy's clothes...?
That car...?
….He's not wrong at the moment about the lack of will.
What the fuck is going on with these cars...?
Oh...Oh boy saionji that face. I just realized he shows up almost without fail when shits about to go wrong.
...The Sword...? What the fuck? Did Anthy...?
Is this a remix?
….Uh...Huh. That's...Utena's Sword? That 's utena's sword. I guess...Drawn from her by Anthy. For the first time really clearly showing volition.
….Oh god damnit. Akio. Fucking.
The Sword of Dios did not appear..?Huh.
Anthy hesitated and...Akio hm. Yeah, I mean no surprise but.
And Akios made of stars now.
OH SHIT NEW CLOSING?
On the elevator...And stars? Something BIG changed I think. That's what it feels like but fucking what? ABSOLUTELY NO DIOS here, no akio like, none of it. Just anthy and utena.
Huh. So is everyone fighting Utean again?
Episode 26
Oh hey, I guess the uncomfortable car ride is the new thing.
And now Akio want's Anthy engaged to someone else huh. WONDER WHY.
And Touga. Touga you being played. You don't even realize. Or do you?
...Kozue how did you...?
Birds?
Also, jessu you two please.
Chuchu what the hell are you doing.
Kozue. Uh...?
That person. What's the beef with their parents.
Also, why does Anthy know so much about birds?
The voice thing was....?
Akio, what do you think of her. Yee. Yeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee.
ANTHY DO SOMETHING YOU'RE LIKE THE ONLY ONE WHO COULD!?
Also, is the sleeping thing a new repeat scene?
Harsh as hell indeed. Typical Anthy.
Defeat Utean for the good of the duelists.
Adults saying it's for their own good, not trustworthy huh.
Also that chair.
What the fuck is anthy doing at Miki's dads place...?
Is...Is that ACTUALLY anthy?I don't think so...Anthy as a symbol?????
What? WHAT THAT...can't be right.
GOD DAMNIT AKIO. Wait, isn't this the same shit Touga pulled?
Touga....Goddamnit. Wait. This is person 2 saying I reject being a duelist, and Touga shows up like some weird fucking devil.
THERE! CAN'T YOU HEAR IT!?
New Hellavator confirmed.
Kozue and Miki? MIKI HE'S DATING A SCHOOL GIRL ITS NOT OK
...Yeah the...disheveledness. This uh...Hm.
Become impure as well. Lose your purity. uh. Uhhhhhh....
The fucking rose? AGAIN?
Seduced Touga. Yeah, ok, the implication is uh...yeah.
Utena standing on the landmine. Utena's oh no is yeah.
Ufo Crash? Again? Gambling Shadow Girls...? This is clearly about Miki getting suckered.
So Absolute destiny time and...Yeah, some weird shit is going down here. And it seems like Utena is ABSOLUTELY fucking shit up for someone.
Oh wait, anthy's outfit full of pink roses. Filled up with thoughts of Utena? Huh.
BLUE ROSEBRIDEOUTFIT?...wait what? But it's Kozue. And no longer trying to draw anthy's sword huh.
Kozue...What the fuck?
And Miki, I thought you were over this shit.
Why are they...both in the car. oh..Ohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh. And Anthy is just kinda dead.
Um. Uh...Kozue....? what the Actual fuck are you doing? I mean I know what it looks like so. But Uh...And Anthy, you wain't doing nothing?
Straight up called Miki a coward...Which..ok. I think I get why...? I don't get why.
Do you have any problems you can't tell people about...?
Episode 27
...Wait is this Nanami's Duel time? Oh boy...
What's with eggs though...?
Did...did she lay an egg....? Is...Is this a menstration thing....?
I can't tell if this is literal or a symbol because this series is just like that.
Full on ATE that ball to the face. God.
I'm not even sure if this is filler episode nonsense because it's just...
I mean we got the boy, so probably “filler” but...
...So it was actually laid. And it looks like a easter egg.
...Rose again.
THIS 100% reads like some kind of discovering new things about your body thing. Like I ain't familiar with young girls fiction so...
oh hey it's juri.
Making fun of me for being so late its...
this bowling ball thing is...what.
This
What the fuck I can't even.
Juri looking FRESH on the blowing alley.
So...What's even going on here. What's the...
These fucking Songs for nanami though.
I'm half waiting for the episode to reveal yeah laying eggs it's the thing that happens you know how it is.
JESUS. The Boy Hey if there's a problem I want you to talk to me. Which is Utena and anthy ALL over again. So...Nanami's reaction is...Anthy's...?
….Anthy. Anthy do you know what happened? With whatever weird bullshit I 100% believe you had something to do with it.
…............I prefer girls. I too prefer Girls
Touga: ITS ONLY BOYS AND GIRLS WHO GET TOGETHER THAT WAY. NO MATTER HOW GOOD IT FEELS.
Also, going against gods plan huh...?
is...what...is the what is the egg metaphor even DOING here. Like, pitty the family who's daugther lays eggs and...what.
Shadow Girls....wha...what the fu
treating this like an actual child which...ok...uh...what is...
Is the egg laying thing a saying that didn't translate?
Another song...?
Saionji what the fuck are you...doing.
Eggs are something you normally eat.
Jessu nanami got the blows.
Saionji, Hey you want some eggs I got eggs. Midnight Egg Frying. Respect for that.
...now utena and Anthy...wha...what?
Do you believe in reincarnation...? Elephants dying by themselves.
Yes utena, why are we talking about this.
...Wait, if Nanami is Anthy....did...wait...I...do not
what the christ is happening with this egg.
Oh hey, the chick broke the shell.
Was that a dream ANOTHER EGG?
Also, why are we getting a filler episode. We usually only get those after some hardcore nonsense.
….Why does anthy look so fucking sad.
Episode 28
Oh hey, it's a rose. ...Also, prefers girls, next episode is about Juri. uh...hm.
Who's this douchebag.
Why is this music so fucking ominous. Did Akio bring in a ringer.
...Did they draw? He won.
Ex Captain. Is this the dude Shiori was into.
Luka Suchi(spelling?). The Actual Captain. Ruka. Ruka.
He a duelist. And Juri doesn't sound happy about it.
Who is this douchebag. Touga 2.0 Better. Smoother(?) Bluer?
Is...Is he the only male fencer there...? Wait, are the fencers mostly women?
Tsuchiya. So it was the captain then who Shiori was into and did that whole thing. No wonder she doesn't like him.
Uh hold up, I mean you do you. Oh the two seem happy. Well...that's..fine...?
Oh here's Juri, lookin fucking pissed.
Keep your hands off Shiori.
Ruka is...suspect as fuck I mean that's a given but.
Hey it's the bed again.
OH YOU GET BAD VIBES FROM RUKA AND NOT AKIO? HOW. HOW HES 100000% LESS SUSPECT AND YET?
I mean it sucks for Juri, but Oh nope there he's doing it to piss off juri for some reason. What a douche. Damn.
Deffo Touga 2.0 Less overtly sexual though so...Improvement...?
What the...What the hell did Ruka do that she doesn't trust him so much?
WHAT THE FUCK ARE YOU DOING HERE TOUGA?
….Is...the Car? Juri? It's gotta be right?
Finally someone looking at him with sufficient what the fuck
…..You're an adult now...uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh.
Where did your...shirt go..
AKIO AKIO WHAT.
THROB OF THE ENGINE
Car is 10000000% something about sex, but like...
Shiori feels...odd. Here.
Shadow girls. What...? god what? um...the...ok. That felt...weirdly uncomfortable.
The gap between these shadow girl duel car sections is getting smaller I swear.
Another Rose Bride huh.
That was oddly humble of a duelist admitting he might lose.
Homie is WEIRDLY humble and it is throwing me no lie.
So wait, the car is I guess sex or something so...wait, does that mean that Kozue and Anthy had sex at some point.?
And I suppose them crashing is the things didn't work out kinda thing. Kozue looks fucked UP.
Ruka failed because of his rose bride? Huh. And then we cut to Juri...? hooooooooooboy. Nope don't like the implications at all there.
Episode 29
Believe in Miracles huh...Yeah it's...Juri time.
Oh she wasn't polishing Ruka's sword huh...
Oh damn this looks bad. Shiori you got attatched FAST. What the fuck...happened.
And she's just devastated so that's uh...not...greaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaat.
Juri is PISSED.
Juri, I am NOT INVOVLED IN THIS RELATIONSHIP DRAMA. NOPE NOT I.
Anthy. ANTHY PLEASE JUST SAY SOMETHING GOD. PLEASE.
Shiori. Kinda...Kinda stalkery there.
Uuuuuuuugh. Another schemer. But Blue. With I guess Akio inbetween.
Shiori does not look...well. Her reaction to Juri seems...Uh..Hm.
Juri. Fuck him upppppppppp.
….Wow this got a bit uh...REALLY RAPEY NEVER MIND. FUCK THIS GUYYYYYYYYY.
Is...that why she...hm. Ruka is A DOUCHE. Full on. Goddamn.
...You challenged him to a duel? Juri. JURI NOOOOOOOO.
Goddamnit. Can't you hear it. Fucking hell akio again.
Gooooooooooooooooooooooodamnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnniiiiiiiiiiiiiiiit.
DO ANYTHING I ASKED YOU TO. DAMNIT
Is...ruka driving? No. that is not the case.
Ruka: I make you better.
Hoboy. Believe in miracles and they'll know your feelings. JURI said this?
Juri..Actually seems pretty in control here. Ok. Not happy about it but...Objectives.
Does nobody question these cars though?
DESTINY TIMMMMME.
God, can we get Ruka punched in the jaw? Just...Rocked right across the jaw a couple of times?
Juri is 1000000% not feeling this. Like...not at all
Juri losing when she's off her game don't count. She got played. That was that touga anthy bullshit all over again.
Actually...yeah it is isn't it. Hm
The Super Move Failed. And Juri is uh...not  handling it. At all. There goes that brooch and...hoo. This is painful to watch.
Took the rose off. Fuck this shit.
Its...raining. That's...weird. Just on the dueling arena.
Hit him. HIT HIM.
I swear i'll make it right? Fucking how? HIT HIM.
Juri don't believe it.
And Ruka...fucked off? Huh?
Did...did Ruka die. So he...did that for...Juri? And...
what?
And her unreaction to the shadow girls....hm
wish as hard as you can and they will know your feelings huh.
