Trivia / Adolescence of Utena

• What Could Have Been: Earlier scripts for the movie have a very different car chase. Major changes:
  • 'Beelzebul' is given as a name for the black cars (if you listen closely, you can still hear the Bridge Bunnies saying "Beelzebul" during the movie. This is also ties in with Dios being described as the "lord of the Flies" earlier). Consequentially, the Kozue car is never shown much earlier, as the black cars are one force and not individual people.
  • Keiko, Yuuko and Aiko were to appear in the form of the three leaders of a group of masked students, who were involved with the car transformation sequence.
  • F-ko would also be shown to merely be a doll who E-ko voices in their radio show, as well as the final scenes comparing her and E-ko to Touga and Utena (as opposed to Utena and Anthy.)
  • Touga would be driving the Shiori car, who would not be trying to stop Anthy and Utena from leaving.
  • Miki and Juri would be involved in an "action movie" scene that blows up Beelzebul in a rose-shaped explosion.
  • Anthy would wear a duelist's uniform and draw the Sword of Dios from herself.
