** A similar question was asked in the [[https://bit.ly/42bzqaV Kill la Kill subreddit]] and the gist of the answer depends on when y'all think the show takes place but Sushio's pics (if y'all take 'em as canon) show her living a rather normal life and an interview with the show's creators imply that she attends college (Ryuuko was mentioned specifically to get a job right after graduation). In terms of consequences post series, well, if the show takes place 2013-2014, then they might go like this:
*** As far as her (''monetary'') assets go, Ragyo was a multibillionaire, so, even if assets were seized, Satsuki would still likely have enough to live on, perhaps, more considering that she was legally a minor.
*** Related to this, as far as getting in trouble for war crimes, well, this is more complicated. If she's legally a minor at the time, in accordance to Japanese law, she likely wouldn't be arrested/tried, however, if she were arrested/tried, she might be let go on the account of extenuating circumstances.

**Somebody (on this site) said the OLF actually works more like that virus (life stages wise). As we all know, viruses don't tend to kill their hosts immediately and some viruses can manipulate brain functions. That said, the life fibers were playin' the long game and so wouldn't kill the planet immediately, as that would be like if you burned your house to the ground (counterintuitive), instead, they farm the humans (like how a virus might trick immune cells), have some of those humans do their bidding (replication/ vectors), and then they kill the world (virus causing the cell to rupture).

** Because it's the 21th century and staying naked isn't a social option anymore. It was just the Life Fibers that were the problem, not the normal clothes. It's like asking why do people still eat cow flesh after the Mad Cow craze a couple years ago.

** Considering how they were up against [[spoiler: Ragyo and the Life Fibers]], one could argue that Satsuki and the Elite Four did what they had to. If a guy stole a uniform and that uniform got into the wrong hands, [[spoiler: Ragyo]] could've caught wind of it and we know how that would've went, so they couldn't take any chances.

[[folder: Crucifixion over stolen Goku Uniform?]]
* In episode 1 Gamagoori basically murders a student who steals the 1-star Goku Uniform and crucifies his naked body as an example for the rest of the school and island at large. Watching the rest of the series, while they’re certainly brutal most people are dispatched in non-graphic ways or have their uniforms destroyed. So a literal murder for [[spoiler: a group that’s allegedly GoodAllAlong]] feels completely out of character and makes the Elite Four and Satsuki look unbelievably hypocritical. It’s one of those things that's almost impossible to rationalize or ignore, even in the realms of this being such an over the top and comedic series.

** Also, Nui, under Ragyo's orders, killed herself physically in order to merge and "sacrifice" herself to the Original Life Fiber. The above could still be true though, as Nui isn't fully human.




to:

** Most likely the Fibers busted them out of it, or even opened doors and windows and the like to just pull the humans out and then up into the sky. As for the Life Fibers dropping the humans, I might be mistaken, but looking at the episode, it looks more like the Fibers burn up in the atmosphere while ''shielding'' the humans with their fibers and/or power, a bit like Senketsu does a moment or two later. As for why they didn't need to be caught by Satsuki, it's either RuleOfDrama or Senketsu hadn't retained enough power after the loss of the Primordial Life Fiber and their transformation to control their fall or cloak Ryuko effectively.

** She is insane, and REVOCS hire ups seem to form a cutl around the primoridal life fibers, being not only willing but grateful to die feeding it, we never get any indication Ragyo herself would be fed to it, so perhaps she would have traveled with the life fibers to another world to enjoy a god like position manipulating the next species, we also know life fibers can straight up brainwash people, so its possible she was originally exploiting the life fibers out of greed and lust for power but it slowsly warped her mind to serve it instead

*** Same Troper who answered the first question here. You're probably right, since the call out command is done during/after the transformation, and no one appears to make any signifcant movements before activation. There's some Fridge Brilliance in that too actually, since Inumuta mentions that by wearing Goku Uniforms, those at Honnouji Academy gained resistance to the Life Fibers mental control. That could be part of the trick, as even the One-Star Uniform the thief (Suzuki) put on needed a moment to activate (the ripple of stars and him apparently slimming down), and presumably most Club Presidents have to do that as well, at least when they first put them on at the beginning of the day. Wearing a Goku Uniform, and wielding it's power, might be intentionally based around willpower, in order to condition the students to have better mental resistance to Life Fibers, like Lady Satsuki had in order to wear Junketsu. Considering what happened to the One Stars Ragyo took control of, it seems it wasn't enough (like most of Lady Satsuki's betrayl ended up being), but it does sound like what she was probably going for with the uniforms.

*** Speaking of the Goku uniforms, how DO they activate? This is something I've always wondered myself. They never showed them to have a TransformationTrinket like the Kamui's and although I think it's implied that they're activated ByThePowerOfGrayskull they're probably activated through willpower.

** Most likely there aren't enough Life Fibers in them to activate that easily, so nothing would happen. Goku Uniforms don't seem to activate by blood either, whether with their transformations or just in general, and they have much more Life Fiber content than normal REVOCS clothing, so it's possible that the manufacturing process needed to weave Life Fibers into what is at least partially normal fabric prevents the Life Fibers from being able to wake up, since they become a part of what is otherwise normal clothing, and either don't have enough mass to form a consciousness (like the Parasites in [[https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Manga/Parasyte Parasyte]]) or being formed into normal clothing suppresses it or induces hibernation, which only the Primordial Life Fiber's signal could change. Only Kamuis, COVERS, and the Primordial Life Fiber seem to do the whole "wake up and eat people" thing, and they are pure Life Fiber. Bit of possible FridgeBrillaince here, that's probably why trying to go over 30% is so dangerous, but doesn't seem to make the clothes try to eat you until it reaches 100% like a Kamui, the Life Fiber content makes the clothing more and more dangerous and able to control or at least drive the host crazy when activated, but any less than that the clothes are (for the most part) harmless.

[[folder: REVOC's and the teen demographic]]
* This is a rather simple and short question, but by Ragyo claiming that REVOC's clothing dominated the teen demographic because of their physical capabilities, does she meen the teens in Satsuki's school, or every teen around the world? If the former is the the case then we have a bunch of super-powered teens running around...
