#UTENA STORY TIME! This image circulates pretty readily on account of being beautiful and gay af. However, keen observers notice that only a fraction of it appears to have been used in the closing credit sequence. So how, you ask, do I have this small image of the actual cel??? 
In 2010, this cel sold on Yahoo! Japan for what was, at the time, a pretty obscene amount. The auction closed at 244,000Y, or about $2,250 US. This is comical amount to an insane Utena fan in 2021, we'd have this shit twice as high, lmao...
The image I have in the gallery is from the auction. However. That's not how the story ends... togetter.com/li/60425
According to widely circulated but now I think? deleted? tweets by Ikuhara, the faces were never drawn for the ED credits, and the image was finished digitally.

Look at these two sharing this intimate if confusing moment of mutual attraction that neither counted on or looked for! Let's start volume 4 of the #Utena manga! LIVETWEET FROM THE TUB!
These scenes are roughly equivalent in that both involve Akio demanding a vocalization of compliance from Anthy. In the manga it's a direct question and framed by genuine physical intimacy. In the series, it's cloaked in metaphor and the framing emphasizes how distant they are.
This is definitely confirming for me that Saito imagined much younger versions of Akio and Anthy than the series ultimately depicts. They're siblings, and it's horrifying, and they're a mess... But they're younger, more frank, and still believe in one another to some degree. Boo.
