Let's live our lives heroically, let's live them with style.
Even if the two of us are ever torn apart...
...take my revolution.
In the sunlit garden, we both joined our hands.
Drawing close for comfort, we both swore:
Never again would we ever fall in love.
I see that photo of us smiling, standing cheek to cheek.
I look at it and a bit of loneliness starts to fill me.
Even if I dream, even if I cry, even if I get hurt...
...reality keeps on coming recklessly.
I wanna find out where I am, the value of being me.
Gonna take who I've been up till now...
...and find the strength to throw it all away.
Strip down to nothing at all.
Become like a rose petal blowing free!
Even if the two of us are ever torn apart...
...I swear that I will change the world.
You see, you just have to give up.
Because there really are no such things as miracles.
Next!
That many people in a row... Very impressive!
No one can beat you, Miss Jury!
And what do I have to show for it?
Will I smash the world's shell?
Unfulfilled Juri
Miss Arisugawa, you and the other student council members...
...did a fine job handling last week's regional council meeting.
All the other teachers here really appreciate it.
We've done much better than in a normal year.
Thanks to the efforts of this year's student council...
...our school can continue its fine traditions.
Thank you, sir.
By the way, why don't we discuss...
...the student council's upcoming plans over lunch?
-Yes, sir. -Wait here, would you?
You really don't care about following campus rules, do you?!
Just where does it say you can bring a pet onto the campus?!
I didn't bring him. I just brought my lunch here.
Is that against the rules?
Forgetting that you're bringing a monkey to school...
...has always been against the rules!
You know that perfectly well, Miss Utena Tenjou!
No one ever told me that...
What is with that insolent attitude?! I will not allow...
-Ah! Come back here! -Oh, brother...
Hello there.
You're Utena Tenjou, right?
You're on the student council, aren't you?
I'd like to talk to you.
Utena, help me! Why, you!
Sorry, but it looks like I don't have time to talk.
All right, he's cornered! Utena, shut the door!
Y-Yes, ma'am!
Sorry for the wait. Well, shall we go?
Mr. Vice Principal...
A guidance counselor who was looking for you...
...just went into that office.
Hm? A guidance counselor?
Too bad. She just told me something, you see.
You'd agreed to discuss student guidance matters...
...with her at lunch today.
Miss Arisugawa, what do you mean?
I just promised to take you to lunch...
I won't repeat myself, sir. That's all I have to say.
My! I'm honored to finally get you in here, Mr. Vice Principal!
Wonderful. Now come on!
Wait, let me fix my makeup...
Never mind that. Come on!
Miss Tenjou, I'll be back soon! Now wait here!
I found a shop lately that serves the tastiest eel bowls...
Why do I have to eat eel with you?
So, do you have the time now?
Whoa, that was close. Now, that's what I call a miracle!
We've heard all about you, even in the junior high class.
The fencing team captain and great student council member...
...who can get rid of even a teacher with one glance.
But they say you're trouble, and that people who...
...know your hidden face wouldn't get within 10 meters of you.
Heh...Makes me sound like a wild animal...
I don't know if it's real or true...
...but I've heard even a teacher will leave the school...
...if you look at them the wrong way.
Hm...So, even the lower grades know that much about me...
Then the rumors are true?
Who can say?
From what I've heard, you're pretty good with a sword.
Oh, no way! And I don't like fighting with them.
Now that you mention it, if you're in the student council...
...that means you're after the Rose Bride, doesn't it?
Do you know why? The reason we're all after the Rose Bride?
Whoever she...Whoever the Rose Bride is engaged to...
...will gain miraculous power. Power to revolutionize the world.
Well, that sounds cool. So, do I have this miracle power...
...now that I'm engaged to her?
It'll come in handy for finals.
Maybe I can ace every test without even studying.
You're telling me that you're all really serious about...
...these stupid duels over who gets to have Himemiya?!
You said it. It really is stupid to try to possess the Rose Bride.
Believe in miracles and they will know your feelings.
Yeah...There're no such things as miracles.
Looks like we both agree, then.
Miss Utena Tenjou, junior high class 2-A.
Please report to the student guidance office. Repeat...
Oh, boy, she just won't leave me alone...
Anyway, I'm glad there's someone on the student council who understands.
Pardon.
I'd like you to have this, if you don't mind.
Don't get too familiar.
If it cannot break its egg's shell, a chick will die without being born.
We are the chick. The world is our egg.
If we don't crack the world's shell, we will die without being born.
Smash the world's shell!
For the revolution of the world!
I received a letter from End of the World.
The next duel must take place this week.
I think Jury and I are in line next.
Huh?! Miss Jury, too?
Of course. The reason she has a place among us...
...is because she has dueled as well!
No, I know she's worthy of being here. She definitely has the skill.
But Miss Jury doesn't have a motive to fight.
Oh, yes, she does. She wants the power of the Rose Bride...
...because she wants to disprove the power of miracles.
What? Is that true?
Who knows? But I'll need to study for finals on my own without it.
Huh? What do you mean?
But do you really want to disprove the power of miracles?
What if you want to make your hidden feelings known...
...using the power to bring revolution to the world?
What if you still haven't given up on your love?
Or perhaps you wish to disprove the power of the Rose Bride.
Miss Jury, you're in love with someone?
Must be hard when you can't tell them your feelings.
Yes...I was in love.
Oh, well...
I surrender. You've beaten me.
You're as good as anyone on the high school boys' team, Jury.
Thank you.
Believe in miracles and they will know your feelings.
But I knew it even then.
Knew that this love could never go anywhere.
"Believe in miracles and they will know your feelings."
It was she who told me that.
I know he didn't say it...
...but I think you were always first in his thoughts, Jury.
Even so, I wanted to take him from you.
Even if it meant taking everything from you...
...I just wanted him to know my feelings.
Did you know? There's someone Jury's in love with.
But it isn't you.
That's why I took him from you.
And I have no regrets about it.
The reason why is because I wanted him with all my heart.
I told you "Believe in miracles and they will know your feelings."
You must hate me for what I've done.
Thank you for the letter. You seem to be doing well.
As I read the words in it, one by one...
...I realize my feelings haven't lessened as time has passed.
No matter what happened, the three of us then were truly happy.
However, when I see your faces now, shining with happiness...
...it makes me feel nostalgic. It makes me feel envious...
There, there...
God, you're so afraid of the dark!
There, there...Chu-Chu, please! Hurry up and go to sleep!
I have to get to sleep, too...Huh?
Miss Arisugawa?
-Thought it was you. -Oh, it's you.
You're not wearing your school uniform...
...so I couldn't tell who you were at first.
Oh?
You really look like a super model.
You look pretty cool in your uniform...
...but I'll bet everyone would be really surprised...
...if they saw you in such a girly outfit.
So, what brings you out here all alone at this hour?
I see you keep your uniform on even at night.
Huh? Yeah.
Why do you always wear a boy's uniform?
Let me see... How can I put this?
To tell you the truth, I think it's because of the prince.
Prince?
A long time ago, when I was little, I met a prince.
And that prince told me something:
He said "Never lose your strength or your nobility."
And I remember something else he said when we met:
"This ring will lead you to me."
I remember the prince looked so impressive to me.
And that's why I want to be like him.
Yeah. I guess I wear this so I can be a little bit closer to him.
Sorry. You must think that's a really strange story.
I don't believe what the student council says...
...about the Rose Bride having some kind of miraculous power.
But...How do I put it? I believe we're both linked by destiny.
Maybe you could call that a miracle.
Jury?
Throw away your rose seal! Throw away that ring!
You make me sick. That "nobility" of yours...
You have it because some guy you like tricked you into having it!
Besides, if dueling for the Rose Bride is stupid...
...then this sentimental mush for your "prince" is just as stupid!
The only worthwhile thing it's given you is nobility.
The rose seal isn't meant for a girl like you!
No!
This is the only link I have to him!
I can't lose it!
Then show me the miracle you talked about!
I'll force the proof from you with my sword!
The rabbits dance all around.
The rabbits dance, rabbits dance, rabbits dance all around...
I'm glad I caught a cold when I did!
Going on trips can be such a pain.
Besides, this year's trip was to the zoo!
I'll bet the animals aren't any fun at all.
That zoo usually just has boring animals in it.
Like doves.
Wolves.
Deer.
Ostriches.
And giraffes.
To heck with them! I won't waste my time!
They should at least have a panda or something!
You really wanted to go, didn't you?
The absolute destiny Apocalypse.
Birth records, baptismal records, records of death.
The absolute destiny Apocalypse.
My own birth, absolute birth. Apocalypse.
A shining place in a desert of darkness.
A gold-plated Shangri-La.
Day and night turning back on one another.
A time-plated Paradise Lost.
The darkness of Sodom, the darkness of light.
The darkness of distance, endless, endless darkness.
The absolute destiny Apocalypse.
The absolute destiny Apocalyptic darkness.
I'll just repeat what I said last night:
If you win using a miracle, you deserve your conceit.
Even without a miracle, I won't lose to you!
Rose of the noble castle.
Power of Dios that sleeps within me. Heed your master and come forth!
Grant me the power to bring the world revolution!
Universal light, mosaic light.
Lucifer, son of the dawn.
Apocalyptic light, Michael's light.
Androgynous, son of darkness.
Flaming light, heavenly light.
The hierarchy of heaven.
Are you all right, Prince? We've barely even started.
Illusory light, eternal light.
Tricks of the mind, capricious birth.
Nicocus, Erebus, Uranus, Thanatos.
Let's go around a little more.
The globe of Gyunus, shining with light.
Gyunus, in every way born in miracles.
The pleasure principle, the Nirvana principle.
The certainty of death, namely light.
Poor girl. You're already exhausted.
But I absolutely won't let up on you.
Life is merely...
Isn't your miracle going to happen, Prince?!
...the moving shadow of the living.
In the universe of the mind...
...the drifting shape of the living.
She's fast!
That's why I took him from you. And I have no regrets about it.
Light, temporary existence.
Seeking eternity, namely the folly...
You must hate me for what I've done.
...of returning to the beginning.
It was you who told me to believe in miracles. But...
Two sexes, two poles, two of me.
Up, down, left, right, two of me.
There are no such things as miracles!!!
Front, back, heaven, earth, two of me.
Angel, devil, two sides of me.
And inside, I'm hollow. Inside I'm hollow.
Inside, I'm hollow. Inside, I'm hollow.
It's over.
No... That was just an accident!
No miracle was involved!
Could it have been?
One day, they will know your feelings.
Mind your own business!
And so you still won't accept that it was a miracle?
Who knows?
But if she really has the power to revolutionize the world...
...then I want to take it with my own hands.
To let them finally know your hidden feelings?
You must hate me for what I've done.
Yes. I hate you.
Because I can't make you realize how I feel.
Missing truth and forever, kissing love and true your heart.
Hold me tight with your arms so true.
The key to unlock tomorrow is reality.
I want to keep on smashing lies apart.
No matter how much the two of us may talk...
...you still just can't see anything.
Excuses are fitting for adults who just cling to old stories.
The angels who were passed over don't need wings to fly!
Missing truth and forever, kissing love and true your heart.
I like who I'll be tomorrow and...
...I'll believe in myself because I want to believe.
I want to keep on hating lies.
I'm Anthy Himemiya!
And I'm Utena Tenjou.
Huh?
Oh, no! Our personalities!
They seem to have switched places.
Yeah...And it all began...
...when that spicy curry rice you were making exploded!
My, it's certainly easier to see without glasses.
Next time, on Revolutionary Girl Utena:
The Great Curry High Trip!
The absolute destiny Apocalypse.
