’25.5.21 京都市 三条駅付近にて

写友さんの参加する写真展に行く前に街ブラ。表通りを避けて歩いていると、昭和から時間が止まったようなスポットに入り込みました。

再開発が近いのか、入居者もまばらで静かな集合住宅。そっと撮らせてもらいました。

Revolutionary Girl Utena (Sega Saturn) Playthrough: Part 1

Finally watching the movie has gotten me back to the series in full swing. When I heard about to game i decided to play it. I will post my thoughts on the game as we go! Taking some snapshots for people to use is nice as well. Might or might not continue this.

Playthrough under the cut.

This game has been translated by fans! I can't thank them enough honestly, they're doing god's work. I imagine this game will be very long (╯▽╰ )

You start as a purple haired girl with two pigtails. There is basically nothing notable about you other than your parents meeting in Ohtori.

Our first sight is Saionji bullying Anthy. Anthy says she is engaged to Utena so this is after the first duel. I've been told this game takes place during the black rose arc. If that's true I hope we get to see Kozue and Shiori.

I didn't take any screencaps here but basically we have a chance to interrupt them or watch. If you interrupt him Utena comes in time to help! Idk what happens with the other option tho lol.

You later meet Utena in your class and have a chance to talk to her. The first thing our protag asks is her love life. I was tempted to pick the first option here, if you do protag assumes Utena is a boy and everyone makes fun of you. I hate when visual novels do this shit. I was asking her if SHE had a girfriend, game. I picked the second option so everything goes smoothly mostly.

Wakaba jolts in to bring up Utena's prince and tells her she shouldn't lie to the new student. Then Utena proceeds to tell us one of her most important memories. To us. Who she met minutes ago. It's a weird way to give us the exposition but whatever. At least we get to see Wakaba! I wan't to talk to her as much as I can. My bestie. My poor little meow meow.

We get to have tea with Utena and Anthy. They have been really nice to us so far. That's Utena for you. Anthy explains us the the duels when we mention Saionji talking about a Rose Bride. Utena doesn't seem to enjoy this at all. Our options here are: Saying we wanna get engaged too, changing the topic, or cracking a joke. I wanted to get my relationship points with Utena up and hoped to cheer her up a bit. I crack a joke only for her to think I wasn't taking her seriously. Oh well.

We also have to talk to Akio to get our dorm number. Thank god this place has an elevator. I don't know how to explain this but he look like a loser in the picture. We learn we are in the same dorm as Utena and Anthy. And Chu chu, too. Can't forget about Chu chu.

Akio explains us the layout roughly. Our attention goes to the fencing club building, apparently protag's dad used to be an advisor in the fencing club. Him and protag's mom met in the fencing club.

Had to take this image from YouTube because I forgot to screencap this, my bad.

A few things the note here. There is a calendar from 15 years ago marking the 25th there. What's weirder is the drawing on the wall. It shows the council members and Utena, along with our new character. We don't manage to get a glimpse of her open locker before she finds us and...

There is no way she is the is the president of the fencing club. That's a tax paying adult right here.

So... Sanjouin Chigusa. I like her design. I like that her hair curls up to look like roses. Her colors are nothing revolutionary but they do look nice together. The ice blue hair, the royal purple outfit and the passionate red eyes tell us everything we need to know about her. Also, she is the only female character to have squinting eyes like that. I guess that's why our character couldn't tell her gender. Though she doesn't have the stupid long face like Touga or Akio does. Her face does reminds me of Mikage, actually.

Apparently, the east dorm we are assigned to is suppose to be for the Rose Bride and the one engaged. The student council invites us to a masquerade party to see what our deal is. They think the end of the world is why we got assigned there (And they're right.)

Utena and Anthy come with us because Utena was worried about us o(^ ^)o Anthy even lends one of her dresses to us too. Utena just comes in with her normal outfit. Peak Utena behavior.

Touga should be hosting the ball but he is too busy being a playboy. I accept one compliment from him out of politeness and he immediately takes my hand.

Could have told me that earlier, Utena.

I think I just made an enemy out of every woman in the school. Our character notes that Touga looks like her dad. Yeah, I haven't mentioned it but our dad looks exactly like Touga. Our mom looks similar to Shiori. I don't really wanna think about that.

We lose Anthy and Utena after this. We run across Saionji instead, bullying Chu chu. I tried to be less direct so I tried to distract him. Protag told Saionji Anthy was looking for him and he ran to find her straight away. I may have made a mistake.

We stumble on Chigusa as if all this wasn't enough. It seems like she was looking for us. I'm a dumb little lesbian so I am naturally excited o(*￣▽￣*)ブ

Things don't turn out so well as it becomes clear she fucking hates our guts. She definitely has beef with our parents over something happened 15 years ago. The incident being 15 years ago also means our parents had us a short time after the event. This isn't looking good at all.

To nobodies surprise, she also happens to be a duelist. Putting a note on our back and escaping is one of the funnier ways to challenge Utena.

The council has declared Chigusa officially as the enemy.

Tested on how to make demon horns on Kogitsunemaru and somehow it turned out ok.

Sanjou family from Touken Ranbu in animal form.

God what is wrong with Norman, I know he and the others probably went to hell in that Lambda place but trying to take advantage from Ema and Ray to fulfills his goal is awful. And all those experiments seems torturous.

I don’t think Mujika is bad, but Sanjou does feel weird to me, I’m curious about their story. I low key thing Mujika would be the key to fix this situation alongside with Ema. But I really need Norman working with them and if he doesn’t tell his story to them they won’t be able to come with the best solution.

Touken Ranbu Sanjou brothers’ age

This is weird but for those who already knew the Sanjou swords hidden, untold, unintentionally secretive brotherly relations and connections, I went to look at their Trivia facts on Forge Date and compare, that’s when I realize something’s off. It said Ishikirimaru’s forge date is 982 CE. Imanotsurugi, Kogitsunemaru and Mikazuki’s forge date is typed 989 CE! This doesn’t make sense, because I think Ishikirimaru is older than Mikazuki! So HE’S the real old man!? A 7 years difference between Ishipapa and the others (including who we all call an old man as well as himself). As for Iwatooshi, I’m afraid he’s not appliacable, he might be a fictional blade since their’s no search results its historical records. It’s so weird, is it really accurate for the praying sword to be the eldest?

“Not that I wasn't sad of lack of Kashuu in Ranbu Sai '18 but thinking about it in-character, it'd be pretty dangerous for him once the swords split into two teams including Sanjou and Shinsengumi. He probably did the wise, genre-savy thing to get the hell out of the dodge before they could reenact Civil War: Ranbu Sai '16 and tear him in two. And at least some of the Sanjou would be "If Kashuu's not coming to this side, I'm going there" and make an even bigger mess.”

Oh My Tenka Goken, WHY?? 😂
