I am starting to consider the elephants who harassed Nanami and her friends are representation of patriarch. I often see elephant representing penis in anime (heck, it even has one when Tsuwabuki is naked). Maybe they were horny teens (that why they were surfing, to impress the ladies!) or even rapists.

I always thought the elephants are the three stooges in animal form.

Are they know in Japan?

Tsuwabuki set the elephants on Nanami and her posse. We know he's been stalking her long before he was introduced to the audience and it's his method down to a t. He never managed to save her as was his intention but then again that never stopped Tsuwabuki from trying again.

Some crazy headcanon that actually makes sense:

*After leaving Ohtori Mikage went on to find the cure to cancer. With his penchant for the dying and scientific ardor I can easily see him devoting himself to cancer research. He'd start a Mamiya Institute for the purpose and dedicate his well deserved Nobel to Mamiya.

I feel like Miss Edel was closer to being the shadow girls than those two. If anything they remind me more of Nanami. Only less mean-spirited.

Saionji wears his hair long to secret support Touga, whose "father" wants his hair long. Shhh, it's secret! Don't let anyone know that Saionji still has hope for friendship of the kind you see in innocent shoujo manga....

Isn't the blond friend in Princess Tutu voiced by Nanami's seiyuu?

Well, fuck.

I'm going with that.

I enjoyed the theory considered on this blog that during the Black Rose Arc, Anthy is not fully aware she is playing the role of Mamiya. During my re-watch I found it weird how 'out of it' Anthy seems, Utena never knows where she is, she's falling asleep in the middle of conversations and Utena is getting really frustrated with her for not taking care of herself. Most interestingly, when she is entirely alone, she keeps wondering to herself 'why am I always so sleepy'? In fact she does not turn back into herself till Akio touches her. My headcanon likes and accepts this a lot.

Nah. Grandfather. Their parents are Shinji and Rei. [Which makes him their only grandfather, come to think of it...]

It would explain the blue hair...

I'm now convinced that Wakaba and Mako Mankanshoku are somehow related.

edit(4/11/15): I'm now also convinced that the Kiryuu and the Kiryuin families are somehow distantly related.

We need an SKU x KLK fanart, stat!

- Saionji and Juri are really best friends, and share hair curlers and other hair care products.
- The Utena movie is a dream Anthy has during her journey to find series-Utena
- Touga is really Demian from the novel of the same name

Utena's actually homeless post revolution.  Think about it. She has no real skills.

Akio tries to make Kanae the next Rose Bride but she dies shortly afterwards.

Trinity Blood's Brother Petros and Chigusa are related.

Ok just look at them

Very recent headcanon of mine, but I like it a lot because it allows two non-Anthy/Utena female characters to be friends and offers a solution to their problems.

Post-series, Kozue and Shiori began to interact more. At first they just made fun of each other's issues, but eventually they start enjoying each other's company and their barbs become less personal and more joking. Shiori was the first to talk about the whole dueling saga and how she played it into it, which prompted Kozue to slowly give out details about her personal life and problems. By becoming friends with each other, they became less dependent on the people they tortured and were tortured by. Finally, they graduate from mutual therapists to genuine friends. They're often sarcastic towards, but they care for each other. This friendship also allows Kozue and Shiori to slowly reconstruct their relationships with Miki and Juri, respectively. Hurray for supportive female friends!

Other ones I just came up with but I kinda like:

Brown-haired boy never came back for Juri because he felt he betrayed her by going with Shiori. And also he realized men weren't her interest. Nevertheless, he often thinks about her and contemplates writing her a letter, just to catch up. Ruka came into Juri's life once brown-haired boy had left, so he only knows vague things about him.

Mitsuru becomes the Keeper of the Stopwatch. After years of studying from Miki, he finally learned what were the most cryptic moments when he could click the stopwatch. He never reveals why he was sought out to be the Keeper, nor why he continues doing it.

Wakaba likes calling her boyfriends "daddy," partially as a joke, partially to annoy them, and partially because she kind of likes it. It has scared off a couple of them, but she has no intention of stopping. She once accidentally referred to Saionji as 'daddy,' a situation which took a lot of explaining to defuse (they never got together, but that didn't stop Wakaba's fantasizing).

Brown hair is code for vanilla sexual preferences in Utena. This especially applies to girls. The only straight girls in Utena who are not in love with their siblings have brown hair like Tokiko, Keiko, and countless fangirls. Kanae is the sole exception.

I dunno.  Wakaba may not be in love with her sibling, but if she has vanilla sexual preferences then my kinkdar is nonexistent.
