One of Tuxedo Mask’s powers is that he can extend his cane? Is this some kind of Freudian metaphor?
I want to scream expletives at this. Omg.
Please do.
So when he extend his cane to save Usa in front Diamond in episode 83 in Classics, what he was trying to tell him???
My roommate and I once had a long discussion about the implications of that scene. Like, Diamond is attempting to assert his masculinity by hypnotizing and forcing Usagi onto a bed. Then, Tuxedo Mask unexpectedly soars in on his hang glider of romance, where he immediately extends his cane (to an absurdly unnecessary degree) and tells Usagi to grab it, presumably looking Diamond in the eye the entire time. They might as well be yelling “I’M A MAN” at one another in various pitches of confidence. Usagi is saved from a male by a male, essentializing her role as the prize of a whose-dick-is-bigger contest.
