Ah, the bauble...I'm virtually certain I've invented the whole thing, but here's my personal canon.

... For this he was cursed to wander the Earth for 3000 years, and his green jewel with which he kept back his hair was taken from him. See where I'm going with this?

So in my personal canon, Akio/Dios and Anthy are related somehow to Ashwathama, perhaps his children. The bauble either is Ashwathama's original jewel that Akio has since retrieved, or a copy or something. Oh, in case any of you don't know, I suppose I should mention that the Mahabharata is a Hindu epic.

I this idea and new way of looking at this epic. and hugs for you.

So as I was reading the thread about Touga support for loving or not loving Utena; I thought up another question?

Does Touga know that Akio successfully slept with Utena? If so do ya'll think that it would have changed his feelings/actions towards her?

Random question: Considering  all the confusion and secrets going down at any given time. Whom in the main cast knows most of whats happening; not including Akio and Anthy?

Akio:  She was beautiful.
Touga:  Her, you mean?
Akio:  Yeah. Pure, and magnificent.
Akio:  A peerless princess.
Akio:  My precious one.
Touga:  I know that.

That's gloating. What a fucking jerk.

I'd say Touga knows the most, Saionji understands the most. Utena, Juri, Miki, Nanami, etc...are totally clueless, to be honest.
