This research aims to analyze the manifestation of compulsory heterosexuality in the anime Revolutionary Girl Utena (1997) through its two main characters, Utena and Anthy. For this, Adrienne Rich’s compulsory heterosexuality mandates were used, proposing three reactions to them: adherence, opposition and neutrality. As support, a series of features usually associated with masculine or feminine behaviors on audiovisual products were identified, using the investigations from Therese Ottosson and Xin Cheng, and from Dawn Elizabeth England, Lara Descartes y Melissa A. Collier-Meek. Then, these variables were applied to the characters of Utena and Anthy, picking the eight episodes that best exemplify their evolution through the story. Based on the analysis, it’s concluded that compulsory heterosexuality manifests as the biggest antagonistic power for the main characters, Utena and Anthy. Furthermore, these manifestations appear in the frame of conventions and rules established in three anime categories dedicated to female characters and/or lesbian relationships (shojo, yuri and Class- S). Even though these three exist within the traditional, they will be re-configured and subverted in RGU’s story. From this, compulsory heterosexuality will be represented through different visual and narrative elements which Utena and Anthy will gradually oppose, mobilizing a series of changes in the gender representation of said characters through the story and emphasizing the revolutionary possibility of lesbian love. Therefore, a standardized gender representation won’t be found but rather one that is constructed personally, and is honest for both characters based on their similarities and differences.
