And it is out of this awareness of alienation that you come to obtain a higher humanity and sexual self-awareness. In the TV series, Saionji always felt that he was one step behind Touga. Although the two are more or less equal in terms of ability, what Saionji lacked was that sense of alienation.

Touga and Anthy are quite similar characters. if there’s anything precious to them in their pasts, they’ve long stopped believing in it. they look at the kids around them, still clinging on to ideals and dreams, from a far distance. that distance, that knowledge, makes them alluring and powerful in their own ways. their arcs conclude with an awakening, a blossoming into their buried childhood desires; desire for the prince, desire to be the prince.

This might be a bit of a tangent, but I want to say something because I've thought about this before. If we take movie Touga's line about his hair being grown out because it was what the "customer" wanted as canon for the series as well, then we might be able to pin down a general time frame in which the abuse began.

Like you said, the change must of happened before the coffin, as his hair was already long and he's already acting...the way we know him to act.

But in Nanami's Precious Thing and in Her Tragedy, we see Touga depicted with short hair (and yeah I know that flashbacks in RGU have a tendency to be very unreliable but this flashback is backed up by the physical photos we see, so I'll take it as true.)

And Nanami does have flashbacks and photos that include Touga with long hair, so we know it's not just her perspective coloring what the audience sees.

which isn't to excuse the fact that he spent much of the series grooming nanami, but it goes to show that the cycle didn't start with touga or even akio. it started in a kiryuu family home life that we're not privy to, and the most violently fucked up aspects of which nanami was blissfully unaware until it finally manifested in the akio car"
