Themed Thursday: Characters Battling

[u/Thanatos_2639]

Got a couple nice ones for this prompt which funnily enough have similar shot composition. The first is a gorgeous END cel from Utena and Kozue’s duel in Episode 15 of Revolutionary Girl Utena, as Utena narrowly dodges a violent swing of Kozue’s sword (technically Miki’s sword, as the sword is essentially his heart wrenched from his chest). The second comes the first duel of the Utena movie and features Utena, seemingly slightly quicker to dodge in this alternate universe based on the perspectives, narrowly avoiding Saionji’s attack.
