[ID: a digital drawing of Kanae Ohtori from revolutionary girl utena. She's hunched over on her knees, taking out her sword from her chest. Within the glow of the sword, she is in her duelist clothes. The spectral hands of Prince Dios reach out to her from above. Her white scarf disintegrates into rose petals, flowing around her. The background is black, and the artist's watermark is in the centre. End ID]

It's chilling to rewatch the Kanae apple scene and notice that it's Akio holding Kanae upright but Anthy who's putting the slice in her mouth. Two girls who hold tremendous power, Anthy because of her status as the Rose Bride and Kanae because of her status as her family's heiress. Akio can't be Chairman of Ohtori without Kanae, and he can't be The End of the World without Anthy. Two girls with the combined power to unravel him, and yet, Akio's control relegates them to rival brides who loathe each other.
Only Anthy could feed her the slice of an apple pierced by forks, symbolic of her pain as the Rose Bride. Only Anthy could shove it down her throat as if to say, "You want to take my place? Here, have a taste of what that means." It's violence against another victim, but it's also mercy when you consider Anthy's attempt on the roof. Anthy knows what happens to once newly-discovered stars who lose their shine each passing year; she endures it every week. She hates Kanae, but she also saves her from marrying Akio, a fate worse than death.
Throughout the show, we see Anthy demonstrate her agency beneath the passive shell of the Rose Bride while also advancing her brother's wishes. Kanae's death in Episode 32 feels like the culmination of that strange defiance and loyalty: "I'll take someone's life for you, but I will do it by my hand."
"You want to get your hands dirty?" Akio replies in the lead up to Episode 33. "Very well. Deliver the bouquet of roses. Deliver Tenjou Utena."

alright, while I work on deciding who to include in the bracket (+ other things), here are all the utena submissions I got. only one shall survive to the actual bracket. I could make a mini-bracket, since there are 8 different characters, but I don't really feel like it. therefore,
propaganda below (note - some of these characters had multiple submissions, so if they are eliminated here, the rest of their propaganda will be released afterwards):
Tumblr media
shiori: You wouldn't really vote against Shiori, would you? 🥺 Even if she knows you must hate her, don't you want to mend your relationship? 🥺 When she's depending on you with all her heart? 🥺 She knows what she wants this time, really; this must be it. She's winning, right?
Tumblr media
touga: Victim of CSA forced to perform an impossible gender expectation that is unhealthy for him and will ultimately kill him(metaphorically or literally depending on how you view him in Adolescence). Betraying the only people in your life that may have ever seen even a sliver of vulnerability from you and manipulating them for both your own goals and playing your role as a pawn in Akio's fucked up game. Honestly? It's about being forced into a position of inferiority and a feeling of being used and using that vitriol to hurt and manipulate others to gain back that sense of power no matter how superficial. Just kinda choosing to live in your coffin because the idea of anything else is so foreign that it's terrifying and feels like a death in itself and to make that choice would mean abandoning everything youve done to adapt to the current system.
Tumblr media
kanae: shes soooo rosebride. shes so desperate for the princess role which she technically has achieved but which she'll never actually have. the way she's compelled to blame anthy. ough
Tumblr media
idk who this is but it's not mamiya guys right. mamiya has purple hair and he set the fire and both of us are alive and we will obtain eternity together right guys. right: hes such a rose bride. literally. but to me hes his own kind of rose bride. at least before. yknow
Tumblr media
juri: Underrated as Rose Bride to Ruka. Forced to swallow down her emotions because he decided he knew what's good for her.
Tumblr media
saionji: he needs a W. but also he's kind of a rose bride in relation to touga specifically--being manipulated by him to continue playing the role he's been given
Tumblr media
nanami: oh you know ;) (ridiculously loyal little sister being manipulated by her older brother)
Tumblr media
utena: 39 episode run of Akio trying to rose bride her
