Episode #: 23: Qualifications of a Duelist
Stats: 3 layers, A18/B4/C14
Sketches: none
Background: unstuck, matching, only a copy
Comments: Mikage, huddled in his confessional elevator after Utena beats him up for telling the truth about her being after the same thing he is. He has always been said to be like a computer or robot, so he is completely bemused by the pain causing a tear to come out of him. He wipes the tear onto his finger, and starts lifting the finger to look at it. When you remove the layers with the hand and tear, it is also the moment shortly afterward when he is commenting that if he had not been wearing the rose signet he likely would have been killed. This was (and still is) my #1 Mikage dream cel.

Comments: After Mikage invites Utena to his Mikage Seminar for the second time, and comments that it's there to help anyone who is in trouble, he turns to look at her as she explains that she is not in any trouble and does not need any help. That's our oblivious Utena! Her words at this very moment are that Chuchu would come with her and scatter crumbs all over the Nemuro Memorial Hall floor. Mikage is in the early phases of his delusions of Utena being Tokiko here, and (thinks he) sees Tokiko when he finishes turning his head.

Comments: Mikage, shortly before his delusions start getting a bit too powerful during his duel with Utena. He says "You're such a stubborn girl, Tokiko. Seems you won't understand unless I destroy that rose." and then attacks again, this cel is from the flurried movement of that particular round of sparring. It's difficult to catch without a freeze frame. Moments after this, Mikage truly sees Mamiya in the pictures.
