Okay this is my second time watching the black rose arc and I still don't know why mamiya looks just like young akio/dios. or is he supposed to resemble anthy? you would think his name being so similar to himemiya would mean something. the metaphor there is so unparsable to me. like what is he there for

#also? i will say it mikage is just some guy #utena tag #?#like is it supposed to be casting doubt on anthy bc mamiya seems to be pulling the strings here #are we supposed to be thinking u know what characters set up to be the innocent victim of circumstance in this show are often the opposite #because if so that's way less complicated than what s1 and s3 were saying about anthy but okay?#idk i just am still finding myself baffled by black rose arc #can't help thinking the extremely sinister in retrospect akio scenes and the bits of dialogue between characters outside of evil therapy #are the most relevant parts of this whole thing
