Revolutionary Girl Utena – 29

Okay! Now it all gets clear. The previous episode was just a big prologue of this one. As expected, it’s a Yuri episode, but this one’s damn intense. Probably one of the most intense episodes so far in the series. We get to see yuri break down, Ruka being a bigger asshole than he already was and a climax that you certainly will not expect. It also Appears that Ruka was just meant to give Yuri some more character development. I wonder if we’ll see him again, as the ending of the episode shows some sign of character development on his side as well…

It’s also clear to me that this show doesn’t really have a main character. Yes, of course there are Utena and Himemiya, but they don’t really get more airtime than the other characters, probably even less. Especially in the latest episodes. It’s great to see a variation like this, especially when it’s so well carried out.

Anyway, we’ve had Sayonji, Miki, Ruka and Yuri. All that’s left is Nanami, Touga and the school presidend whose name I forgot. This gets more interestig by the minute.
