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.
Once upon a time, years and years ago...
...there was a little princess, and she was very sad...
...for her mother and father had died.
Before the princess appeared a traveling prince...
...riding upon a white horse.
He had a regal bearing and a kind smile.
The prince wrapped the princess in a rose-scented embrace...
...and gently wiped the tears from her eyes.
"Little one," he said, "who bears up alone in such deep sorrow."
"Never lose that strength or nobility, even when you grow up."
"I give you this to remember his day. We will meet again."
"This ring will lead you to me, one day."
Perhaps the ring the prince gave her was an engagement ring.
This was all well and good, but so impressed was she by him...
...that the princess vowed to become a prince herself one day.
But was that really such a good idea?
Plotting a Locus
Do you know, do you know? Have you heard the news?
The nosey hero has won yet another duel!
Might makes right!
Losers are smelly old fish!
And the winner walked away, looking like a lily!
But, but, brave hero!
You may be called back to the path of battle once more.
Do you know? Do you know? Do you know?
If we don't crack the world's shell, we will die without being born.
If we don't crack the world's shell...
You still haven't awakened?
Is the egg's shell still unbroken?
Even the student council president failed. Her seventh trial so far.
She even managed to win the duel named "self."
Did seeing her defend the Rose Bride, even while wounded...
...make you remember something familiar?
Even the heart of the Rose Bride was moved a bit, wasn't it?
I suppose seeing that has let you begin to have hope for her.
No, that's not right.
That was in the first duel, the one named "friendship."
Since that day she accidentally fought the Kendo team captain...
...you've had hope for her.
You're the Kendo team captain, aren't you?
When? Where? Who? Which?
I want a duel with you today after school!
Grant me the power to bring the world revolution!
The flow of the blood of memories.
The cradle of a thousand years of bliss.
Not bad...
...for a girl!
I am an actor.
So, trying to be the prince who saves the damsel in distress?
Just like the sphinx...
Well...
...in the eternal winter desert
Wait a minute...
Thinks
That trick sword...Is it real?!
You know the winds of sadness...
I'm shocked. You challenge the Sword of Dios...
...with a useless wooden practice sword?
...of the body as it's born and dies.
The Sword of Dios?
You don't know about the Sword of Dios?
Who are you?
The holy actor, forever...
The prince on a white horse, here to save her princess!
Little one, who bears up alone in such deep sorrow.
...cast into hell.
Never lose that strength or nobility, even when you grow up.
A margin of darkness and light.
Shining! Burning!
What?!
Awakening! Singing!
Fool!
Born into the world!
Born into the moment!
Over and over again!
Impossible! I...I lost?
Anthy!
You seem upset, Saionji...
...my schoolmate.
Man, this has been one truly weird day.
What was all that about?
Better just forget about it.
You...
I've been waiting for you, Miss Utena.
I am the Rose Bride. From this day forward, I belong to you.
As you had hoped, she became engaged to the Rose Bride...
...and began to walk the path of the Duelist.
And then came the second trial. The duel named "choice."
It's a rose seal.
Whoever wears that ring is marked as a Duelist.
So, now that you're the current dueling champion...
...the others who wear the rose seal...
...will come to challenge you to duels.
You've gotta be kidding!
I've no intention of fighting these meaningless duels!
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
Celestial age. Prehistoric sea.
Grant me the power to bring the world revolution!
Erosion. Accumulation.
3 billion years. The birth of life.
The age of land.
Cambrian. Oldovian.
Didn't you say you weren't going to fight anymore duels?
Silurian. Devonian.
No choice. If I don't fight him, I'll get kicked out of here.
DNA. Molecules.
Bacteria. Colony life.
I have you!
Triassic. Jurassic. Cretaceous.
I admire your courage.
Lycopodium. Selaginella.
Well, I'll just purposely lose, so there's no problem.
Trilobites.
Gastropodia. Belenmite.
It may be the Sword of Dios, but it has no special power by itself.
Ammonite.
In the end, the sword must be wielded by a great swordsman!
Rose of the sea. Lily of the sea.
I was careless yesterday, but now I'll show you my true power!
Apple of the sea. Bud of the sea.
Angel of the sea. Mirror of the sea.
Doorway of the sea. Shimmer of the sea.
Carboniferous. Permian. Paleozoic.
You in the sea.
Both the sword and Anthy belong to me.
I in the sea.
They are the glory intended for Kyoichi Saionji!
The Paleozoic Era in my flesh.
Prepare yourself!
Living on and on.
Closer and closer to death.
The endless story of the Paleozoic.
Like a whale.
Like a dolphin.
Like a sea-lion.
I travel down into the depths of the sea.
Down through the history in the depths of the sea.
And at the bottom I find myself.
Ammonite!
Ever since that day, the seal on your power...
The seal on the power of Dios, began to break.
That girl was definitely of great interest.
Your power...All of the power of Dios could be revived with her.
The battles which followed were all quite personal.
I could never match the feeling of my sister's playing.
I have to get that music back.
Theater. An extraordinary mind. Collective development.
And, for that, I need the Bride, no matter what!
Theater. An extraordinary person.
Idealized reality.
I think being seated at the piano suited you much more.
An operating table, a wrecked ship.
A pure play, the spira mirabilis.
Whirlpool. Spiral.
Endlessly changing, the spira mirabilis.
Scipio's dream...
Theater. Illusory actions.
So, want to try and get me to play again?
Immortal actions.
Theater. Illusory people.
Unless you defend the precious things you possess...
Immortal structure.
Unless you defend the precious things you possess...
...people will take them away from you, Mickey.
Ammonite. Alchemy. Sacred beetle.
He's good!
Spira mirabilis. Reborn to live again.
Spira mirabilis.
The miraculous spiral.
My, my, my, my...
...neverending theater.
En garde!
With geometry its stage.
I won't lose! She's counting on me!
Life and the mystery of death.
That's it, Miss Utena! Get him!
Everything passing away. Death and rebirth. Death and rebirth.
Death and rebirth. Death and rebirth.
Though we may say it, they won't ever really be...
...granted the power to bring revolution to the world.
Because they have all had hope taken away from them.
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!
Universal light, mosaic light.
Lucifer, son of the dawn.
Believe in miracles...
Apocalyptic light, Michael's light.
Androgynous, son of darkness.
...and they will know your feelings.
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!
Light, temporary existence.
That's why I took him from you. And I have no regrets about it.
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.
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.
Yes...The young always aim for the end of the world...
It's your fault my brother got hurt!
Your fault! Your fault!
The beginning of earth
is on the stage.
It's a tiny unknown planet
In the immutable Milky Way.
Don't underestimate me!
Illusion of infinity
can't be resolved by time.
Nobody knows what's waiting
beyond eternity.
An eternal me
Nanami, show us your power as one who has been chosen by End of the World.
and eternal somebody.
There's no relationship,
no connection to each other
until the moment of encounter
in the constellation of our flesh.
My brother has always been the most important thing in my life!
It's your fault my brother got hurt!
It's your fault. You came between Big Brother and me.
It's your fault.
YOUR FAULT!!!
Time is hypothetical and illusive,
setting the stage for a new life.
Destiny, choice, and then farewell.
You and I are like the Milky Way.
No past, no future, living for today.
all alone in the theater of the universe —
That's me!
Wait! My last evolution... revolution... Everlution...
Friendship.
Choice.
Reason.
Love.
Adoration.
Conviction.
And finally, self.
But though she's cleared seven duels, she's still a Duelist.
Could she be the person we've been hoping for?
If she keeps going, there's a chance...
...she will reach the duel named "revolution."
The day you will be completely released may be near.
Don't glare at me like that.
When we finally reach the day we've waited and hoped for...
...we will both profit equally from it.
But, a new stage is about to begin.
How will she fight in the battles to come?
Whoa! Hey! Cut it out, Chu-Chu!
I'm home, Miss Utena, Chu-Chu.
Welcome back. Where were you?
Miss Utena.
The clouds are moving so quickly.
Miss Utena!
Ow, ow, ow...
Can I help?
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.
