Ah well. I'm the type of person who reads the back of the book first when I'm really excited. I like teasers, spoilers, previews, etc. However, I will take to heart the assumption bit. Must watch that...

Any way, I figured the authors wouldn't contribute to this one...that's why it's rampant speculation.

As for the timing questions. My bad. I re-read that section of SOS 5 and concede idiocy the whole "1 hour" thing.

That said, Gryphon had 45 minutes to whip up an uniform that Utena then modified in her own, special style. I doubt our beloved Hero could be that serious about just a duel between a Klingon and Utena.

Or am I assuming again?
