This is a static copy of In the Rose Garden, which existed as the center of the western Utena fandom for years. Enjoy. :)

Re: Personal Canon

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.

Re: Personal Canon

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...

Re: Personal Canon

When Dios became corrupt, he separated into two split personalities; Akio, and Chu Chu. This is why they share such similar taste in clothing accessories.

Re: Personal Canon

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.

Re: Personal Canon

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.

Re: Personal Canon

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.

Re: Personal Canon

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. etc-wankdudeetc-wankgirl

Re: Personal Canon

In my personal canon, Akio gets a shower scene in the video game just like everyone else. emot-mad

Even Saionji got in on that one.

Re: Personal Canon

The reason Akio chose Touga to be his personal undering is that they both have a guilty pleasure they like to indulge in, wearing polyester leisure suits and hanging out in discos.

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.

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.

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.
