If we're talking about the same blocks (to forget Utena and the failed tournament), there were gaps in them, especially among those who knew Utena and took part in that tournament. For example, they did work on Miki - until he saw Utena after she inadvertently brought him across that first Christmas to help Kate. They didn't work on Juri at all - IIRC, she had a photo (or something like that) of Utena and never forgot her in the first place. Juri said she'd been asking people at Ohtori what had happened to Utena, until people, not remembering Utena, started thinking Juri was nuts, at which point Juri stopped asking.
