Sept.98 Newtype for "Adolescence Mokushiroku"
Original art: Shinya Hasegawa

And so, it begins...

Utena's armor has always represented her nobility and power in the context of the series (remember the opening with the flying horses?). But now she has been inverted and her armor destroyed... clearly in shock about it as well. This image (which is the central image of the movie poster as well) seems to say that we should expect what we know about Utena to be turned on its head... that she will be (or has been?) destroyed... Combining this with the title of Adolescence Mokushiroku, one must come to the conclusion that some great and devastating event (possibly the end of the series?) has broken Utena....
