This is a static copy of In the Rose Garden, which existed as the center of the western Utena fandom for years. Enjoy. :)
Anthy is the real Big Bad in the series, Akio was little more than a magically programmed meat puppet once Dios's soul was absorbed into a soul-sword while his mind was placed into a pigmy marmoset.

Chu Chu plays Utena regularly at Street Fighter II: The New Challengers. He plays as Ken and has never lost a round against Utena. he has, however, lost several endurance rounds to Anthy, who plays as Cammy.
Akio got the custom licence plate for the Car by seducing the chick at the desk at the DMV. Nobody ever noticed, but the girl did receive fifty million yen to have an abortion roughly ten weeks later.
Anthy has a morbid fascination with Thanatos and will secretly play any video game that has even a glimpse of the Grim Reaper. For this reason, she excels at Castlevania games.
Kozue is so afraid of STDs that she makes any man who sleeps with her wear three condoms before intercourse. She may be wild, but she's not that wild.
Before Akio appeared in her life, Utena would have a deep fondness who showed balls in a video game that was also a princess. Marle from Chrono Trigger was her favourite for a very long time.
Sex is only pregnancy-free if you're on Academy grounds. It's said that this was arranged by Dios so Akio and Anthy wouldn't make some stupid mistake and end up with kids.
Mikage loves raspberry Pop-Tarts, being as they are considerably harder to find than any other flavour. Mamiya hates Pop-Tarts, opting instead for Toaster Streudel.
That's all I have so far...

Half of the events in SKU didn't actually take place.
Ruka never existed, he was just part of Juri and Shiori's imaginations to further the duel (possibly Akio playing him.)
And that's why the kid that Shiori stole before looked so much like Ruka.
The still roses that appear on screen are symbolism of imaginary things.
For the dance party, since the duelist uniform appears on Utena, she was actually naked for anyone who was able to see the reality, and not the projection of desires. (And that's why Anthy was smiling so much)
Although I don't believe Anthy and Utena had romantic feelings for each other, they did 'experiment,' and just like Saionji and Touga seemed to have.

Dude this is just an awesome idea.

So that explains why Wakaba likes to jump her so much!

Seriously, Iris, that stuff borders on being outright PROFOUND!

Utena's parents died in a freak boating accident in the same lake where she almost drowned and where Nanami drowned the kitten and where Juri tossed her locket.
Anthy fetched the locket by dipping her hand about a foot into the water's edge.
The kangaroo is the school boxing champ. Every once in a while he goes on a destructive rampage but everyone covers up for him and keeps his grade averages up.

Chu Chu is the school's video game master. He beats damn near everybody at any video game. To this day, nobody's ever trumped his speedrun record in Super Metroid.
Not even Akio.
The only time he loses is when he plays Anthy. He has since learned to simply never play Anthy in video games. Mainly because Anthy cheats.

We know that Anthy can change herself into a male as indicated in the Black Rose Saga, but what you didn't know was that Anthy can change anyone elses gender at will, which has made for some interesting night time activities.

Someone should draw that. Or maybe best not.
Anthy pinned Wakaba's love note to the bulletin board.

In my personal canon, Akio gets a shower scene in the video game just like everyone else.
Even Saionji got in on that one.
Offline
Saionji has a vagina.

Shiori pretends that she is not a lesbian, to piss off Juri

When Utena says:
Utena: Wow, being able to go on a date with a cool guy like you is every girl's dream!
Is possibly the bitchiest thing she could say. Congrats to Anthy on rubbing off on her

I thought we were supposed to be joking here!
But in that case, related note! Utena's stance as the new prince apparently comes with it the idea that she's the center of the universe. Whenever reminded otherwise she gets really bitchy.

I dunno, I thought it was really funny when she said that.
In a horribly mean, twisted way.

Yep, I think that's apparent.
Anyway, my personal canon is that EVERYTHING we see onscreen that isn't a flashback takes place on campus. Including the plane and India in episode eight.
"Ancient magic WHAT?"

If Ohtori can have kangaroos, it can have elephants.

Akio made sure to schedule all female duelist's their duels during their period/PMS cycle.
I believe you are close, but the truth is that it is Anthy who sends Chu-Chu around to all the female duellist's dorm rooms to search their bathroom bins to find 'evidence' and once Chu-Chu confirms that she is indeed 'on the rag' she tells Akio and he sends the letters.
