If Ohtori was a Arthurian legends...


Then Dios would be Arthur, the once and future Prince, sleeping and waiting a time of great need to wake.

Then Anthy would be Morganne, the witch sister, incestuous lover, helper and ennemy, who took him away to slumber in Avalon.

Then Revolution would be the Graal, and all would seek it with Roses and Swords.

Then the Student Council would be the Knights of the Round Table, though I don't know if you could get into closer similarities here.

Then Utena would be Perceval, an often mocked knight eventually finding the Graal.

~sits in the corner and feels stupid for not putting that all together before now~

Well, that's just musing, not an interpretation of the serie as such ^^

umm, really interesting but.. who would be Guenvere?

[etrangere.livejournal.com]

Well, that's a good question. When I think Guenievre I think classical romantic triangle, which makes me think of Juri, Shiori and Ruka... but how should I distribute them exactly I've no clue (especially since you can't use Dios as Arthur in this mainframe)

What about Akio's fiancee? which was her name? she hated Anthy but I can't recall is she liked Utena... u_u;

Kanae ? I don't remember her thinking anything about Utena. She's make a very weak Guenievre, she ended up the serie to utterly passive, poor girl.

Hi! It's Vince from alt.fan.utena! Just came by to say hello!

The only thing she thought of Utena was that she was in the way of destroying Anthy during the Black Rose arc. Other than that, nothing.
