Hiiragi Utena

Sign in to edit

Hiiragi Utena (柊 (ひいらぎ) うてな?), also known by her alias Magia Baiser[3] (マジアベーゼ, Majia Bēze?), is the protagonist of the series. She is the leader of the evil organization Enormeeta, and attends the same middle school as the members of Tres Magia.

Appearance[]

Default/Base[]

Magia Baiser's outfit resembles that of a demon. She has horns upon her head, wings on her back attached to a corset, an exposed chest region covered by star-shaped pasties, and form-fitting sleeves and pants covered by voluminous skirts extending down from her waist and back. Her fingernails are longer and have black nail polish. Two stars appear on her cheeks, but more may appear as her power surges.

After escaping from Magia Sulfur and reverting to her civilian form, two stars appeared on her eyes, hinting at her latent power.

Excited/Empowered[]

When she unleashed her power in battle against Lord Enorme, Baiser's appearance changed. The star points of her pasties became longer and narrower, the tailcoat of her pants became longer, and the waistband of her pants lowered on the sides, exposing her outer thighs. Her wings and horns became larger, her horns point upwards instead of curving downwards toward her face, her fingernails became large and claw-like, her teeth grew sharp fangs, and her hair lengthened down to her waist and became wavy. The number of stars increased on her body, covering her cheeks and lining her brow. Most notably, Utena seemed to have aged a few years, more resembling a young woman.

Corrupted[]

After unlocking a new transformation dubbed the "ugliest flower" by Venalita, Baiser gains a demonic appearance. Her hair becomes white, her entire body becomes covered in so many tiny stars her skin appears dark, her sclera turn black, her pupils turn into stars, her nails become long black claws, and she gains cobweb-like markings on her skin. Her clothing consists of a black evening gown.

Inner Peace[]

After getting Reason and Lust to merge together, Baiser's empowered form has changed a small amount. Although still appearing as an older version of herself with long hair and a more drastic transformation, Baiser appears to be an older teen, as opposed to a young woman.

La Verità[]

In addition, Baiser grows taller and is now taller than Michiko, placing her around the same height as Sister Gigant.

Personality[]

Utena is a shy and introverted girl who longingly admires magical girls, collects their memorabilia, and talks about them passionately. At some point, her obsession had reached the point where she wished to fight alongside Tres Magia, but that led to her being tricked into joining Enormeeta by Venalita.

Although reluctant to accept it at first, her true nature is sadistic, and she tends to lack self-restraint when facing magical girls. When she first recognized she wanted to humiliate magical girls, she felt conflicted by her past feelings of admiration. However, after a near defeat at the hands of Magia Sulfur, she now more readily embraces her sadistic side.[4]

At times, she can be simple-minded. She brushed off Lord Enorme's plans for world domination and became overwhelmingly bored while listening to her monologue. Despite that, she is still quite perceptive, as she was able to perform self-hypnosis to break free from her restraints to defeat Lord Enorme. She was also able to instantly see through Magia Sulfur's false act of betraying Tres Magia to join Enormeeta.

After she escaped from Lord's Legion, Utena showed bloodthirst by declaring that she will make the "stars" of Lord's Legion "fall" while smiling maniacally.

However, Utena's desire to be a good leader opposing Tres Magia and obsession with seeing them persevere through her treatment of them has caused her to develop split personalities, being separated into "Reason" and "Lust." Reason is the personality seeking to have control over the situation at hand, while Lust simply wants to indulge in tormenting Tres Magia to see their expressions. It is because of their clash that Utena's mind is in disarray, struggling to focus and causing her problems in her life, both personal and as Magia Baiser.

In her empowered form, Utena becomes noticeably more sadistic, as seen when the humiliation she inflicts upon Lord Enorme is far more harsh and extreme than how she treated Loco Musica and Leberblume.

In her "ugliest flower" form, Utena seems to have little to no sapience, simply acting without speaking and attacking whoever she sees, not discriminating friend from foe. This happened due to both Reason and Lust fighting each other then being overwhelmed by a dark force.

Upset by her actions during her transformation in which she had no control, Utena decides to train herself mentally to prevent it from happening again. After running into Sayo at the shrine she works at and joining her for a meditation session under a waterfall, Utena successfully made Reason and Lust come to even terms and merge together, presumably resulting in herself having a more stable mind and personality.

Utena often spends her time reading BDSM magazines, fueling her magical girl domination fantasies, which has consequently led to her grades dropping, because they distract her from her studies. She also worries about her skin being too glossy.

Perception of Magical Girls[]

  • A magical girl should not get innocent civilians involved in their fights against the evil organization. Vol 9 Ch 41
  • Magical girls should never take people hostage Vol 9 Ch 45
  • She believes she should not look into a magical girl's identity, but makes a special exception for Imitatio. Vol 9 Ch 45

Abilities[]

Trans-Magia (変身 (トランスマジア) , Toransu Majia?, lit. "Transform") is a power that transforms Utena into her Magia Baiser form. Utena can perform Trans-Magia by incanting "Trans-Magia!" while possessing a transformation star provided by Venalita. She may also be forcefully transformed when her desires are left unchecked, or if someone else uses a transformation star on her.

Recognition Inhibition (認識阻害, Ninshiki Sogai?) is an ability that prevents people from recognizing a transformed magic user.

Frusta Dominazione[5] (フルスタ (支配の) ・ドミナツィオーネ (鞭) , Furusuta Dominatsiōne?, lit. "Lash of Domination") is Magia Baiser's magical weapon. It is shaped like a riding crop and has a 4-point star at its tip. She can use it to strike inanimate objects, plants[6], or animals[7] to create a Schiavo. In her empowered form, Magia Baiser can use Frusta Dominazione to create waves of magic that can destroy Lord Enorme's demonic minions and prevent them from regenerating. In Baiser's La Verità state, Frusta Dominazione grows larger and becomes a walking stick.

Schiavo (スキ (奴) アーヴ (隷) ォ, Sukiāvo?, lit. "Slave") is a minion created by magic that can be directly controlled by Magia Baiser.

Menace Werner (メナスヴァルナ, Menasu Varuna?)[8] a move Baiser named after seeing that everyone was giving their attacks cool names. It appears to be a wave of darkness unleashed by swinging Frusta Dominazione. It was "countered" by Magia Azul but Magia Sulfur took the full hit ending up with at least 3 cuts across her left arm and abdomen.

  • Menace Rondo a wave of Menace Verne's unleashed from Fusta Dominazione its whip form[9].

Overly Excited In this empowered form, Utena's abilities increase drastically, though the extent to which it grows is unknown. However, she can destroy Lorde Enorme's demonic minions with ease, without having to defeat Lorde Enorme to stop them. Additionally, she can forcibly take full control of Lorde Enorme's minions and turn them against her. Utena also subconsciously filters her vision so everything she sees fits her tastes, and her filtered vision seems to somehow not affect her combat ability.

La Verità (真化 (ラ・ヴェリタ) ?, lit. "True Form") is a transformation ability in which a magical girl's feelings overflow and advance to the next phase, transforming her into a new form. Utena first unlocked hers in an unseen battle with Berserga, though it was finally revealed in her battle against Imitatio. In this state, Baiser can create spiderwebs to restrain her opponents, and even use them as extra appendages, such as when she used one to remove Azul's top as a sneak attack from behind.

Malice Nest (マリスネスト, Marisu Nesuto?) - An attack Baiser can use in her La Verita state. She conjures a spiderweb that can restrain anyone who gets caught in it. It is extremely strong, as it was able to prevent Imitatio from moving when her limbs were bound by it.

Baldaquin Arachne (蜘蛛の天蓋 (バルダキン・アラクネ) , lit. Spider Baldachin/Canopy?) - Baiser turns her cape into a large canopy to enclose herself and her opponent, preventing spectators from seeing what will happen next.

Corruption - After turning into her "ugliest flower" form, Baiser gains the ability to inject her power into a person and turn them into a puppet. She does this with Magenta and makes her fight the other members of Tres Magia.

Morino Korisu[]

Utena likes Korisu's design of Alice. She cared for Korisu like an older sister when she carried Korisu home after they fought Tres Magia. Utena comments that Korisu has a pretty face and that she will be the most dangerous of them all. She cares for Korisu so much that she sewed the doll back for her when it was damaged by Kiwi and worried when Korisu arbitrarily transformed and caused trouble. Utena has also bought Korisu new toys from the toy store to replace toys that have been damaged in combat, or broke by Kiwi.

Akoya Matama[]

After receiving praise for her singing, Matama was ecstatic and admitted her defeat and defected to Enormeeta alongside Nemo.

Hanabishi Haruka[]

At School, they're friendly. Utena sometimes walks to school with Haruka, and Haruka has asked Utena to eat lunch with her. As their alter egos, Magia Baiser and Magia Magenta, they are enemies, as Baiser Utena has humiliated Magenta on many occasions.

Tanaka Michiko[]

Tanaka Michiko is Utena's former enemy. Michiko offered Utena to join her just so they can take over the world but only for Utena to bluntly refuse when she has no interest to rule the world. During their fight, Michiko tries everything to make Utena suffer. However, Utena absorbed Michiko's monsters and gained a new empowered form. Utena easily defeated Michiko. During Michiko's punishment, Utena stripped Michiko of all her clothing to spank her and forced her to apologize. Utena is the one who figured out that Michiko changed her identity to Imitatio. However, after a few battles, they have reconciled and are now rivals instead.

Trivia[]

  • "Hiiragi" (柊) can mean "Holly Olive" in Japanese, a flowering olive tree native to Japan.
  • "Utena" may be a reference to Utena Tenjou, the titular character of the Revolutionary Girl Utena series.
  • The word "baiser" has French origins. When used as a noun, it translates to "kiss". When used as a verb, it is a vulgar slang term for sex.[10]
  • Magia Sulfur remarks that Utena's alias means "evil" in Chapter 30. In this case, the correct name should be Magia "Böse", which is German for "evil".[11][12] It is unknown whether it is a translation error in production or if Sulfur mixed up languages.
  • "Dominazione" is Italian for "Domination".[13]
  • "Frusta Dominazione" was originally named Frusta Dominate (支配の鞭 (フルスタ・ドミネイト) , Furusuta Domineito?) in an early version of the comic.
  • The official English translation by J-Novel Club names her weapon Frustino Dominanza, which translates from Italian as "dominance whip".
    • Given this information, it is likely that the correct translation of the name appearing in the Japanese version of the comic is Frusta Dominazione, which translates from Italian as "Whip Domination", rather than Full Star Dominazione as used in fan translations.

  • On the cover of the first chapter, Utena wears a purple version of the Tres Magia uniform. However, she is not shown wearing the uniform in the manga itself.

  • In the concept art, Utena had a more "prim" appearance. Her forehead was exposed and her hair was sleeker with a few loose locks, and her casual attire consisted of a double-breasted suit jacket, cravat, high-waist skirt, black leggings, and laced shoes.
    • As Baiser. she had a monocle, her wings were positioned at her shoulders rather than her waist, her horns came out a bit more from her head before curving inwards, and instead of star pasties her corset had curved horn-like extensions that covered her breasts. In addition, there was no star motif.
  • In the manga, Utena says the reason to why she doesn't hurt civilians as Baiser isn't out of conscience but simply because it isn't fun.
