@Werebearguy Evil? Well, I'd say, definitely maybe. We knew, that he was cold, and calculating from the very start. He could really be evil, or there could be some ancient evil that's about to awaken, and he was planning all this on order to defeat it (just to go with the most overused trope of all times).
One thing is for sure, he definitely
has a master plan, and Utena is starting to get suspicious, ...ehhm even more suspicious. I hope, we get more "ligth" magical girls soon, because the "dark" ones are starting to outnumber them. I actually liked the status quo of the first few chapters, where its 1 vs. 3. Makes Utena look more badass.
