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.
It feels nice to eat lunch outside once in a while.
Totally, totally! And I'm a total genius for suggesting it.
Here we go...
I made your lunch too, Utena.
But, I...
Don't you dare! You'll waste this nice day with that tasteless lunch!
Besides, this lunch is to show my love for my wonderful Utena!
Look! Look! LOOK!
Sure...
Oh, joy!
Cut it out! Whoa-whoa-whoa!
Gracefully Cruel; the One Who Picks Up the Flower
Okay, okay, prepare to be amazed.
Ta-DAA!
Hmm...
It's mostly instant, yeah...
...but it turned out just so INCREDIBLY pretty, didn't it?
Well, besides showing your love, it definitely looks tasty.
Thanks, Wakaba.
All right! I knew making this would be worth it!
Way to go, Wakaba! You work so hard!
Miss Utena?
Would you look at my lunch, too?
As long as it isn't shaved ice again...
There we are.
It's kinda big, isn't it?
I'm really impressed.
Please, help yourself.
Okay, the first level is...
That's, uh, takoyaki, isn't it?
Yes.
Moving on to level two...
Yakisoba...Yeah, it is...
Doesn't it look delicious?
And the third level...
Oh, my.
Oh, well, let's all share.
It'll be like a fair or something.
Split them? Just which one do you expect to split?
Let's answer that question AFTER we eat.
What are you looking at?
Oh, it's you.
I'm looking at a lonely princess.
Miss Tenjou... And Miss Himemiya.
Miss Tenjou and the others look like they're having a lot of fun.
Is the lonely one Miss Himemiya?
You cannot see it. Only I can.
You're talking about an illusion?
It's quite real.
Something I feel just by looking at her.
Cool! Cool!
Utena, what are you looking at?
No, it's nothing...
Oh...It's the prince of the student council, isn't it?
Prince...
When it happened, he said:
Your prince was a guy like me, wasn't he?
If...If that's true, then he might be my prince from before.
-Well done! Well done! -Should he eat that much?
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!
As you all know already...
...Nanami was defeated in her duel against Utena Tenjou.
It's a shameful thing to say, but the difference...
...in their skill was clear to see.
As you knew from the start.
Nanami fought only so that she COULD lose.
All as plotted by student council president Touga Kiryuu, right?
That all turned out most unfortunately.
I was only trying to treat my dear sister well.
Like a pet cat?
6 seconds, 20...
The fault for Nanami losing the duel lies within Nanami herself.
And even if someone does lay a plot...
...it's the victim's fault for falling into it.
How cold...
If one has deep feelings for a person...
...it's a matter of time before those feelings betray them.
Betray them as strongly as those feelings are strong.
Your prince was a guy like me, wasn't he?
They're all excellent! And I hear this variety is difficult to grow.
Thank you.
By the way, I saw you all having lunch outside today.
Yes. You saw us, did you?
Miss Utena and Wakaba and Chu-Chu and I...It was so much fun!
Good to hear.
Wakaba's lunch tasted so good...
I'd like to try making a lunch like that.
The Rose Bride, cooking!
Your job isn't to cook.
All you need do is stay here and tend the roses.
This birdcage is your domain.
And you are the lovely little bird who lives within it.
I wish to make this cage my own.
And I would never let you out of it...Ever.
Get away from her!
Hi. So, you've come at last.
You can only see Himemiya as the Rose Bride, can't you?!
Am I mistaken?
You are! Stop going on about who gets to own the Rose Bride!
She's just an ordinary girl named Anthy Himemiya!
Oh? Are you really just an ordinary girl?
You hate it, don't you?! Being the Rose Bride?!
I...
Tell him how you really feel!
How I really feel...
Right! You hate being treated like the Rose Bride, don't you?
Just say it to him straight!
Yes. I hate being treated like the Rose Bride.
What's so funny?!
Oh, nothing. It's just that she's your bride.
Go on.
What do you want with Himemiya?
My business isn't with her.
I came here to see you. I've been waiting.
For what?
I have something important to tell you, as your prince.
My prince?
I thought so...
I thought you were my prince.
You were crying when we met, weren't you?
Crying streams of shining tears.
That's right. I was crying...
Was it you? Were you the one who saved me then?
Do you want proof?
Proof?
Tell me, did it feel like this?
When he kissed me?
But, it felt this same way... Back when he...
Forgive me. That was indiscreet.
For two Duelists to act that way in front of the Rose Bride.
Well, as for that important thing I had to tell you...
Utena Tenjou, I challenge you to a duel.
I...
I totally forgot that Touga Kiryuu was also a Duelist.
But the prince who saved me when I was little...
I came to this school so I could meet him once more.
Now the one link I have to the prince forces me to fight him.
If only I didn't have this ring...
Miss Utena!
The tea's ready.
How did you like my lunch today, Miss Utena?
It was good. Thanks.
Wakaba said she really liked it, too.
I'm so glad. Wakaba is a lot of fun to be around.
Yeah, I always cheer up when I'm with her. She's a good friend.
You should make friends with her, too, Himemiya.
That's right, you've got Chu-Chu.
He's as fun as 10 people, right?
I...
I wish I had more friends.
You will. You will!
If you'd just open your heart and talk to them, anyone would like you!
Open my heart?
Sure! You'll do all right. I'll help you.
I will.
That's right. I have to protect Anthy.
I know I can turn Himemiya back into a regular girl.
I won't give her to the others.
Not even to my prince!
Now, my son, I want you to put this apple on top of your head.
Yes, Daddy! But...
Good shot, Daddy!
But that was the 37,919th time.
How long are you going to keep this up?
Until someone stops us.
Enough talking, son. Now put this apple on top of your head!
Yes, Daddy. But can't that nobleman let you not do this once?
Ohh! Stop thinking for yourself!
Oh, what a sad sight. What is the destiny...
...of Willam Tell and his son, now an eternal archery machine?
Do you know? Do you know? Do you really know?
Uh, Daddy? Aim a little higher.
Uh-oh.
You're here.
We have to fight, no matter what?
Now, then...I'm afraid I must take your precious bird from you.
Shall we begin, Miss Tenjou?
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!
Don't hold back! Those who fight with compassion lose their lives!
Now remember that and come at me again!
The unrecorded spell of captivity
The unfortunate Iron Mask.
Utena Tenjou! Your swordsmanship is typically amateurish.
But the real question will come when the Power of Dios manifests.
Though there are blue skies, the oceans, the wind blowing...
Go on, Utena Tenjou!
I can't lose!
...there are fields with rabbits and rivers flowing.
Show me the Power of Dios!
Times and the age, they never change.
Times and the age, they're something, yet nothing.
Human affairs, a game recorded in blood.
Human needs, swept away in the river.
All we are told is that people are people.
No change at all!
What we see in the day we can't see in the night.
Your prince was a guy like me, wasn't he?
What we see in the night we can't see in the day.
Anagram.
My prince...
A mysterious word, a mask of words.
And their origin is...
You!
Well, how lucky for you.
Now you no longer have to be caught up in these unfathomable duels.
Shall we go, Anthy?
Wait...
Don't take Himemiya away, please.
She wants to be an ordinary girl again.
I have to do that for her...
I don't want the power to bring revolution to the world!
Himemiya needs me!
You don't understand anything.
It's true! She said she wants to make more friends!
If I leave her, then she'll be all alone again!
-Anthy... -Yes?
You're happy being the Rose Bride, aren't you?
I...
I'm happy being the Rose Bride.
You don't need friends. You like being alone, don't you?
Yes, I like being alone.
Miss Utena, don't you see?
Anthy Himemiya is the bride of whomever wins the duel.
While she was engaged to you, she was only following your commands.
It's not true...
The Rose Bride answers her master's wishes.
The wish to make her a normal girl was merely your own wish.
It's not true!
Now that you've lost the duel, you have no connection to her.
Just forget everything. About her and about the duels.
IT'S NOT TRUE!
It's not true, Himemiya! Tell him the truth!
That you hate being the Rose Bride!
That you want to make friends!
Didn't you say that to me?!
Anthy, say your farewells.
Cheer up, Miss Tenjou.
It's not true...
It's not true!
IT'S NOT TRUE!!!
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.
Lost...I lost?
Good morning, Miss Tenjou.
Himemiya!
What's wrong, Miss Tenjou?
Himemiya, you...
I am the Rose Bride. This is what's normal for me.
Himemiya, wait! I have try to get the real you AND the real me back!

Perhaps for Friendship's Sake
