History Fridge / RevolutionaryGirlUtena

** After watching {{The Movie}} with a friend and thus being able to bounce ideas off of him, a lot of the [[WhatDoYouMeanItWasntMadeOnDrugs seemingly crack-induced symbolism]] suddenly started to make so much more sense. Just to give one example, look at the scene where the girls are scrubbing down the empty swimming pool. It seems like a completely random location, and Anthy even says something to the effect of "it's only normal to get wet at a pool" despite the fact that no one is swimming, but remember that this is one of the few places in the movie where Utena meets Touga. Think about it. If you had drowned while rescuing a young girl from the same fate, would you want to be near a large amount of water while more girls, including your ex, who has been suppressing the memory of watching you die, were nearby? For bonus points, the scene even cuts away with the image of water filling up the screen as a lone shoe floats upward... --@/RosesSpindle

** [[FridgeLogic Defusing all of the above]], it's more likely that if the switch lasted for something similar to a week... As the Chairman, Akio would've heard rumors about their changes in personality and/or learned/deduced that something odd was going on, and thus ''for once'' he kept his hands and cock to himself until Anthy was back in her original body. He's VERY evil, yeah, but he's not '''[[WhatAnIdiot stupid]]'''; [[VillainBall raping Utena-in-Anthy's body would have completely derailed all of his carefully laid plans.]] (Besides, Utena would've mentioned such things in '''that''' scene from episode 33; since she didn't, well, whatever.)

** How would ''he'' have beaten Juri and Touga? His second duel with Utena actually answers this: by kicking and overpowering his opponents. All the student council members are skilled swordsfighters, but only he and Juri supplement their swords with other attacks, and while Juri simply shoves her opponents around [[CombatPragmatist Saionji has shown no qualms about destroying his opponents with kicks while they're worried with his sword]] and ''then'' go after the rose. Also explaining why by the time Utena came along Juri and Miki lost most of their fight and Touga was wary to fight her: Juri and Miki had been ''brutalized'' by Saionji, and Touga was legitimately scared of someone who could fight and win against such a brutal fighter.
