You should know the answer to this by now. Do you *ever* get more than subtext in movie Utena??? As for the Black Rose saga, it actually has very important thematic ties to the rest of the series. These duels are about more than just revolution. Pay close attention to the last episode of the first season, then think carefully about the purpose of the Black Rose duels when you get to them.
