Speaking of which, Magenta's transformation was really kinda unusual. It doesn't seem BDSM-y at all--honestly, it seems kind of vanilla. Which, come to think of it, might be the point. But there's not really enough material here for an analysis IMO.
everything is finally all coming together.
It probably is the point. Magenta comes across as the most stereotypical magical girl, and purity is typically a major theme for them. It makes sense that, since this story is all about accepting fetishes, it would acknowledge & accept that some people don’t really have any.
Edit:
Magenta's transformation feels like aftercare.
Ooh, good point.

As for the chapter, I do think we’re reaching a tipping point, but I’m not sure it’s the endgame. We’ve yet to see Loco & Leber’s La Veritas, and this latest development doesn’t strike me as being Baiser’s. If anything, it’s the opposite, what with the Utena/Baiser split thing. I don’t think she’s actually developing a split personality, but she’s clearly doesn’t have the self-acceptance required for La Verita.
