** The knight’s purpose in the story was to die without landing a single blow. In not dying, Fakir failed in fulfilling the story’s purpose. Not to mention that as a traditional knight wielding a sword, it’s stated that he can’t effectively protect Mytho that way.

* A small thing compared to other headscratchers on this page, but at the start of episode 11 (Akt 11), we have a scene of Ms. Edel standing on the bridge and a woman walks up to her and essentially pushes the gem called [[spoiler: Love]] onto Ms. Edel. This mystery woman is shrouded in a giant hooded cloak, but we see her hand, and it's some sort of wolf claw-human hand hybrid. We never see this woman again, nor does this potential subplot ever get explored. (I mean, in 26 episodes, there was only just enough room for the main characters) but because it was introduced so suddenly, it felt rather convenient. I was just curious as to what peoples' theories are about this woman. Was she a random person [[spoiler: written into the town/story by Drosselmeyer?]] After all, in the scene immediately preceding it, he says "we need someone else" and we're led to believe he's talking about [[spoiler: Ms. Edel]] but I'm not good with ambiguity to begin with so I need someone else to pitch in here...

** Going strictly off of somewhat-vague memories, I guess my interpretation is that the woman turning in the gem was meant as a sign that there is more to the story than just the narrative the main characters are following. It makes sense for that to be the case in a town as big as the one they're in and even moreso from the in-universe "it's all just a story" angle -- sprinkling in hints of detailed narratives outside the main story is the mark of a good writer, from the perspective of this one.

** Mytho's actions make even less sense in the end, when everyone is already trying to [[RageAgainstTheAuthor defy the story]] [[ScrewDestiny and their role in it]] by trying to come up with new and creative ways to break everything apart, and Mytho, having gotten all but one shard of his heart back... goes along with Raven's demands and a HostageSituation. Of course, then he tries to fight the Raven and decides to break his heart again rather then give it over... wasn't it obvious from the start that the situation was skewed against him - he'd already been in the exactly same one before, after all, and ought to know how it ended. So my version of explanation of why he did all that... unlike others, who are originally humans forced into their roles in the story [[AlternateCharacterInterpretation (or having chosen them)]], Mytho is a fictional character brought into the semi-real world, so he has a much harder time [[ScrewDestiny defying stories]] or even realizing the implications of following through with them, which would already be a part of defying them - as more GenreSavvy Tutu has demonstrated by not answering the question. Basically, Mytho [[CompletelyMissingThePoint can't make the connection]] between [[StarCrossedLovers storybook Tutu]] and [[MagicalGirl real Tutu in front of him]] as being the same character with the same curse. He's probably better at it after getting his whole heart back - without it, he seems not only emotionless but suprisingly clueless - "What is this feeling I have?"

** In retrospect, Princess Tutu's inner monologue during episode 13 shows that she and Rue/Kraehe are more alike than one might think. While Ahiru/Tutu's love is ultimately of a different sort ([[TheFourLove more ''agape'' than ''eros''), she was always thinking of the true Mytho, the prince who could love anyone unconditionally. That's exactly why Rue loved him, as well.
