I always wondered why inc/st was so common in revolutionary girl utena. What i mean is what are the chances that three seperate characters had a very specific brother/sister abuse dynamic in the same school. Akio and Anthy, Nanami and Touga, miki and kozue.

And then I realized, the students at othori academy aren't there just because. Theyre all stuck in a metaphoric timeloop that akio created so he can play prince/god. Obviously hes going to prey on students who have had a history of this specific kind of abuse cause he knows how to control them better. Its not lost on me that Miki and Touga also happen to be in the student council (a role closer to akio right after the teachers) while their sisters are either regular students or are able to get into that role through them only. I wouldn't be surprised if most of the students at ohtori are inc/st survivors

But what I find fascinating is that there is another type of inc/st that Rgu talks about and its parental inc/st. Specifically committed by fathers

Especially in the cases with touga and Kozue/miki.

With kozue and miki its a little hard to spot. They dont outright tell you theyre being abused by their parents. Just that they both deeply despise them, as seen with how anthy is represented as the mother figure there. And within the context of how thats shown symbolically in othori. Kozue is hypersexual and is being groomed by akio (a significantly older man) and miki is being groomed by his music teacher (another grown man). Those are clues that they have probably had a history with that kind of abuse.

And in the episode that spot lights Miki and Kozue. Anthy says this

And then for a split second it cuts to:

My thoughts are raw and all over the place but im gonna just leave this here for me to look at later when my synapses decide to play connect the dots a little faster
