Utena: Stopwatch Video

lizardjayTo finish off my uncharacteristically frequent Utenaposting (for now...), I present the Definitive Catalog of Every Miki Stopwatch Moment Ever, as promised.
... I see that my thumbnail is being cut off on the bottom. This is hell. I worked hard on that thing.
I'm hoping this doesn't put me on a slippery slope of making theory videos; that's not who I am! But somehow nobody else had made this before I got to it. As far as I could find, nobody had even made a comprehensive list in one place. And despite my hatred of 'video only' resources (dear everyone who puts info in a video, IT COULD BE AN ARTICLE INSTEAD!!), I do think video is the best format here.
Do I have any conclusions or theories now that I've done the extensive research? .... not really. My thoughts are still marinating in my mind. But now I have everything collected in one place for my convenience :D and for anyone else who finds it, of course. I know I was searching "miki stopwatch", "utena stopwatch", etc several times and finding NOTHING. I don't really promote my videos so idk if people will find it, but if they do I hope it's useful!

My notes from Youtube:
ENGLISH SUBS AVAILABLE
NOTES:
1. I measure from the 'click' of the stopwatch. On the few shots that actually show the numbers climbing, that's when they stop. Most of the shots just use a static image of the stopwatch face though.
2. I assume every time is started from zero unless we see two stopwatch moments in one scene; then we have to account for the second time possibly being a continuation of the first.
3. I assume most things happen in real time. Obviously sometimes there are interspersed flashbacks, potential timeskips within a scene, etc. There's no way to truly know when the stopwatch started in those cases; decide for yourself ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
4. I'm a little inconsistent on how much of the surrounding scene to include. I tried to include enough before to give full context, and enough after for Miki's response/thoughts.
SOURCES:
1. My thanks to this reddit rewatch for helping me catch the many, many moments I missed:

2. Subtitles are mainly from the scripts at ohtori.nu. For some lines I used the subs from my copy instead, which are credited to 'Zero'. If I had infinite time I would have used Zero's for everything, but copy pasting the scripts was significantly easier.
