As a reader of this series all I have to say is. Why was these part of the series made in its entirety. This series was so good!!!

Utena started using the elevator because she wasn't a challenger any more, she's been leveled up in this "prince game system", she's officially recognized as a pillar of it, as she's getting more and more like a prince to Anthy. Anthy's self image of a "prince" also changed, as her relationship with Utena changing. The sword of Dios of her no longer been used, instead a "sword of the prince" getting pulling out Utena's chest, because she know see Utena more of her own prince, instead of he own old impression of "Dios" as a prince, which made Akio insecure as Anthy getting away from his control (and he starting want to do something towards Utena) In this cool Elevator ride we can also see how Anthy's inside world and feelings develops, she's growing, she's budding, her feelings blossoms. Whe she "casting magic" around Utena, her hands shaping hearts, turning her into a prince. That is how Anthy's thinking of Utena now, her prince, instead of calling out "Dios" which lies inside her mind, she's calling out her own image of Utena the knight, calling her a nobel prince like a white rose, her budding feelings blossoming like pink roses all around her. No wonder Akio pissed off the first time he saw Anthy drew the sword of prince out of Utena, and won without that old sword of Dios. Anthy's getting more and more attracted to Utena, a living prince protecting her by her side, aside from the old memory of him once protecting her as "Dios". But still that didn't change the fact the princess has to be a victim for somebody being able to act as a prince. Utena's been upgraded in this system, but she's still an accomplice of its exploitation to the rose bride, Anthy's picturing herself as the princess for the noble prince Utena did nothing good to this situation as well. The only thing changed here was Akio/Dios no longer being her knight in shining armor, instead she clinged to Utena.

Lyrics: The absolute destiny Apocalypse. The absolute destiny Apocalypse. Birth records, baptismal records, records of death. The absolute destiny Apocalypse. The absolute destiny Apocalypse. My own birth, absolute birth. Apocalypse. A shining place in a desert of darkness. A gold-plated Shangri-La. Day and night turning back on one another. A time-plated Paradise Lost. The darkness of Sodom, The darkness of light, The darkness of distance, endless, endless darkness. The absolute destiny Apocalypse. The absolute destiny, Apocalyptic Darkness.

As usual, the use of bizarre symbolism lends a delightful undertone of WTF-ery to an already awesome sequence.
@librarian4life Жыл бұрын
I mean, it's a show that focuses a lot on power relationships that are abusive (even I am speaking around the subject here now)...not everyone is ready for what the show contends with. And i feel it is better if it goes over some viewers' heads. It is an off-beat 'mahou shoujo' (magical girl) title at its root, after all. Its symbolism is not as bizarre as you think at first glance (prima facie response). But it is veiled. Interestingly the English word 'apocalypse' is derived from a Greek term roughly translating to 'lifting the veil'. So, there is an internal logic, it is simply codified (although as you suggest some aspects seem simply for visual or artistic flourish).

you mean the movie? it's often called a "remake", but it isn't a true remake. you should watch the anime and then the movie, it's meant to be a sort of "sequel" to the anime even though it retells the same story. watch the entire anime and the movie will make sense, but not the other way around.
