His ideals and attitudes were charismatic for the situation ppl in Germany were at that time but he was definitely not charismatic in terms of looks, which I believe was the only thing about charisma you could judge on ayu in that part video. 
She could indeed be talking about how people blindly follow trends as you mentioned though and could actually be referring to nazis or whatever, however I don't think such theme fits the title "Ladies Night". We have to await for a translation though. |
I think it's more like Ayu is representing women in general. Women can be pretty charismatic and can eventually manage to get their way somehow to the point of being a dominating person especially recently when there was the femminist movement.
However yes I do agree that she could have taken the concept from Mussolini, Mao or even Stalin - the last two portray the idea of Communism where everyone was the same. I just associated the idea to Hitler because of how the "people" looked like. They were all the same and had blonde features and even the bone structure looked typically German while Italians typically tend to have a more olive coloured skin and dark hair. Also those kind of features were Hitler's dream race of how everyone should be - well built, blonde and well.. look exactly like a German. Also the cloning/scientist concept led me to think of the Nazi idealogy. And the way she portrayed herself - the movement of her hands and the authority she pulled off made think of someone extremely charismatic. But I must say she does look better in terms of looks
Somehow yes I must say it pretty much doesn't fit the theme of Ladies Night but I've rarely seen Ayu following the rules anyhow so could be she wanted to make something striking by using different themes from various idealogies. Or maybe she was just being random =P
