Nanami discovers that Tougua isn't her brother by blood.
And since they haven't invented "no chromo" yet, this throws her for a loop.
She moves in to the chairman's residence to hide.
Then she walks in on Akio and Anthy together.
(Not even "no chromo" there.)
Akio seduces Utena, at least enough for some serious kissing.
Utena is concerned that this is a betrayal of her Prince.
(Not to be held back, Akio also seduces his mother-in-law. He's a cad.)
Does anyone make laptops with MagSafe style chargers these days? Apple seems to have abandoned them for USB-C.
(This post brought to you by tripping over my laptop cord and having it land on its charger and bend the knob.)
Utena can't beat Juri; we know this. But when a lunge cuts not the rose from her breast, but the locket from her neck, she forfeits.
It turns out this was a deathbed plot by Ruka to help Juri and Shiori get together. (???)
Ruka and Shiori have an ugly breakup. Juri asks him to reconsider, to help the woman she loves. He challenges her to a duel, with the loser to do what the winner wants.
This is why Juri goes for a ride, then challenges Utena, with Ruka as the Bride.
Ruka Tsuchiya, the third leg of Juri's love triangle, returns to school. He and Shiori go for a ride, then challenge Utena to a duel.
This is the new shape of duels: the duelists bring their Brides, who draw the swords from their hearts.
When they lose, Ruka blames Shiori.
Nanami lays an egg. This is never explicitly revealed to be a dream or fantasy.
We don't learn WTF is actually going on here, but we do learn:
Nanami is terrified of being seen as weird.
Touga thinks homosexuality is against God's plan.
Juri is an avid bowler.
Akio takes Mickey and Kozue for a drive and convinces them to duel again.
As Anthy draws the new sword from Utena, so Kozue draws the sword from Mickey.
While Mickey and Utena duel, Kozue attempts to seduce Anthy.
Mickey is distracted by this, allowing Utena do win.
Saionji returns. He's out of this whole dueling thing. Akio reveals something to him that changes his mind.
He duels Utena again, and the sword of Dios vanishes. But Anthy saves Utena and draws a new sword out of her, which she uses to win.
Anthy's brother, Akio Ootori, chairman of the school and the mover behind much of what's going on would like to keep his sister closer.
He convinces her and Utena to move in with him.
The passage to the dueling arena grows a gondola and a new animation sequence.
With the withdrawal from Afghanistan, I have to ask...
What is being published for the Paranoia RPG lately?
(Is @PlayParanoia their official account?)
Anyone retweeting this should note that the math is wrong.
It's closer to $1650 due to lazy rounding and stupid order-of-magnitude errors.
The Virgin deleting your tweet with the wrong information vs the Chad leaving it up and letting people have fun.
There are currently 2755 billionaires, with a combined net worth of 13 trillion dollars.
If they liquidated all their assets and gave them away, everyone on earth would get roughly $2.
So whatever the solution to global poverty is, it isn't eliminating billionaires.
Calling people racial slurs, but the wrong ones.
<Your bad opinion is inherently violent> is a gross attempt to gerrymander the language to let you punish your enemies harder than is usually authorized.
Time for a humorous recap/clip episode.
Tsuwabuki is injured and while he is recovering, the girls snoop in his diary/day planner and see his records of Nanami's plots and plans for interfering if something similar happens again.
Anthy was the one he mistook for his partner, and she was put up to it by her brother.
So adjust your map of who is on whose side accordingly.
Even down to the building he was working out of, which is a charred ruin.
Everything the Black Rose did was the strength of his will to bring his memories back.
But he was being manipulated from behind the scenes.
