one dramatic difference between utena and wfm is that miorine already wants to leave in episode 1 and if anything she has to learn to want to stay part of the system therefore suletta is never punished by the narrative for dueling - shes only punished for being naive and obeying her mother. meanwhile the fact that anthy doesnt want to/feels that she cant leave for 38 and a half episodes makes it so that utena on the other hand is punished very harshly for participating in the duels
#doesnt matter that utena evidently feels good being the prince while suletta doesnt operate on that level (does she though?)#everything after the student council arc is a punishment for utena. “is that really such a good idea?” etc etc#doesnt mean shes bad it just means the show recognizes shes complicit somehwat#instead in wfm theres even someone whos punished for NOT participating in the duels early enough and it is SHADDIQ!
