Cao Ni Ma posted:I just noticed the fluers de lis imagery in the court heraldry, which just made me think how obvious some of the imagery really was during those scenes. The court itself is a giant fleur de lys, with the judge being the large leaf in the middle and the prosecutor/attorney are the side leaves, theres even the band in the middle. Ginko and Lulu always flanking each side of Kureha also makes me think of this. Kureha's rifle even has a similar symbol. Kureha's symbol is a camellia (specifically C. japonica), because that's what Tsubaki actually means. It seems to be associated with love, virtue, and grace. C. japonica blooms from winter to spring, so there's also the symbolism of "waking up" from some sort of spiritual death.

Mymla posted:I think that was more Kureha realizing that she didn't have any right to turn Ginko into a human without even asking her, regardless how good her intentions were. If she really loved her, she'd turn herself into a bear, and so she did. I can see it as a closeted/out thing. Kureha wanted Ginko to be closeted so they could be together, like a lesbian couple hiding themselves as "friends". Kureha was the first closeted person in this world to say "no, screw this, if we can't be together as ourselves then what's the point?" and came out. Them getting shot at are the girls freaking out that there's an out lesbian couple right there who aren't caring what everyone says. When Kureha and Ginko ascend, it's basically them going "gently caress getting poo poo on for being ourselves, we reject the system totally". Laser girl starts rejecting the system right after, because even though the school sees "scaring" Kureha and Ginko away as a shaky victory she knows the truth. It's admittedly a bit tangled but I think that's kinda what they were aiming at.
