This one will contain some spoilers, too, like the Akio
page. Just warning ya :) Dios is the prince that lives in
the spinning castle above the dueling arena. Whenever Utena
duels, he comes down from his castle and joins his spirit with
hers, giving her the power to vanquish anyone who duels her.
He is also the prince that rescued Utena from despair
when she was little. There isn't going to be much about Dios
on this page, because the big spoilers all involve him. Anyway,
one strange thing I've noticed about Dios is that his appearance
changes a lot. Sometimes, he looks like he's about eleven, and
sometimes, he looks a lot older. His voice changes too. See
the differences in the three pictures I have of him. An
interesting bit of information is that when Dios comes down
to posess Utena, his eyes are closed... at least, until the first
episode where anyone is shown the Ends of the World (it happens
to be Saionji) and the Sword of Dios disappears during the duel.
Anthy pulls the sword out of Utena this time, and
when Dios comes down, his eyes are open. It's strange, and
symbolic, like just about everything else in this show.

Aww. Don't you just want to snuggle him?
