Kill la Kill - Ragyou character analysis (ani.social)

Ragyo Kiryuin has to be one of the most well-written anime villains ever. I love her theme song too, "Blumenkranz". After analyzing the song, it's evident that she's not only an evil fascist but also someone who puts an ungodly amount of pressure on herself, similar to her daughter Satsuki. While at first glance the song echoes her fascist ideologies with phrases such as "It is advisable to remove withered flowers", it later elucidates on her permanent obsession with power shown by the line"No matter how tough you are, Fly higher, Run much faster". The juxtaposition between the mother-daughter duo alone makes the show worth watching.

I highly recommend the anime if you like eccentric elements coupled with a strong narrative, oh also THERE'S SO MUCH FAN SERVICE!! It's safe to say this show is one of my all time favorites :)

"Fear is freedom! Subjugation is liberation! Contradiction is truth!" - Satsuki, who is essentially Japanese George Orwell
