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 this 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?
The Cowbell of Happiness
All right! Thank you, everyone!
Okay, Steve, the next thing I want to introduce to you...
is this pendant, designed under the luxury brand of Sebastian Dior!
Did I just hear you right, Roger?!
Look at this! You see that elegant sparkle it has?
Himemiya, are you still watching that?
Yes, but I'm about to go to sleep.
In that case, g'night.
Good night.
So, folks, get your orders in for this...
luxury Sebastian Dior pendant as soon as you can!
It's adorable.
Oh, you look wonderful, Miss Nanami!
What a lovely dress!
It's something my uncle bought me.
It's nothing, really.
Oh, it's wonderful, Miss Nanami!
What a lovely ring!
What wonderful shoes!
What lovely earrings!
It's fabulous, Miss Nanami! You're always the best-dressed!
Oh, it's nothing, really!
Don't get too excited over this, girls.
I'm having this party to unveil...
the crown jewel of my collection, after all.
This special pendant with a 20 carat diamond that I received.
The minute they see it, the whole room will stand still!
It's beautiful! Have you ever seen anything like it?!
Miss Jury! Where'd you get the necklace?
Oh, this.
One of Soliya Rich's designers insisted that I have it.
Wow!
You mean Soliya Rich, that luxury designer brand?
I just did a little modeling for them.
-It's a little much, isn't it? -Wait, does that mean?
That necklace is a one-of-a-kind original?!
That's amazing!
Nanami.
Oh, it's you, Jury. Good evening!
What's up? Why did you suddenly throw a party?
The party's in full swing. You can tell us now, right?
W-Well, you see...
Miss Nanami!
This just came for you.
Oh? What's this?
That...That logo!
It's from Sebastian Dior!
And who's Sebastian Dior?
Sebastian Dior...
Outfitter to the British royal family and the most luxurious of brands!
I've never seen one before.
Most luxurious brand, you say?
This will let me turn this all around in an instant!
Time to bloody little Miss Jury's nose!
You don't say!
All right, everyone!
The reason I invited you all here today is to show you...
the fantastic new collection I've just received.
Come! It's time to unveil it to you all!
There! Look at me!
A cowbell.
A Sebastian Dior...
cowbell.
They look positively speechless!
This brilliance. This refinement.
The best things in life suit me so well.
Suit me and me alone.
Good morning!
G-Good morning.
-It's weird. -I agree.
So what's with her?
Did she get hit on the head or something?
I dunno.
But, I mean, first of all, a cowbell is for...
-Isn't it? -I agree.
Well, if we know that, we should just go and tell her!
You think she'd be willing to understand at this point?!
Good morning!
She's just making it worse and worse for herself.
And it's already pretty bad.
Nanami!
What is that thing you're wearing around your neck?
It's a cowbell!
Cowbell?
Isn't the weather lovely today?
A cowbell is for...
Right?
We just have to wait for her to figure it out for herself.
Hey, did you see it? Nanami's cowbell?
Yeah, yeah! I saw it! See?
It's really something, isn't it?
Yeah, and not in a good way, either!
You gotta hand it to Nanami, though.
She's the only person I know who'd take it this far.
I'm the talk of the school.
My impeccable fashion sense is the center of attention!
Excuse me, Miss Nanami.
Uh, look...
Isn't that heavy for your neck?
I've been thinking about this for a while, and...
that cowbell is just weir...
-Tsuwabuki? -Y-Yes?
Are you suggesting that my Sebastian Dior cowbell...
worthy of the British royal family, is "weird" in some way?
Tsuwabuki, you're just too young to appreciate an adult's fashion sense.
An adult's...fashion sense?
It's still weird!
It is weird to wear a cowbell! I don't care what brand it is!
First of all, a cowbell is something that...
Oh, my, is the boy-girl upset?
Maybe you just don't know fashion!
WHAT WAS THAT?!
Who are you callin' a "boy-girl?!"
I've been meaning to say this for a while now.
That boy's uniform you wear is very weird!
D-Don't compare my clothes to that stupid cowbell of yours!
Well, be sweet and don't compare...
that ridiculous outfit you have with my property.
WHAT WAS THAT?! Try saying that again!
I'll say it as many times as I please!
Oh, brother.
And besides that, you have fat legs, too!
Huh? Where am I?
On a sunny afternoon
Big Brother!
On the road to the marketplace
Are you awake?
You're feeling better, Big Brother?!
You finally came out of your room!
A two-wheel cart rattles along
Never mind that now, Nanami.
Never mind that.
Carrying a calf within
Go on, Nanami! Your breakfast is ready!
Go on, Nanami!
Your breakfast is ready!
The precious calf is going to be sold
What do you mean, Big Brother?
I can't eat this!
Be a good girl and eat it.
It's your last meal, after all.
Such a sad look the calf's eyes hold
M-M-My last meal?
Farewell, Nanami.
Dona Dona Dona Dona
Big Brother? Big Brother, what's going on?!
The calf rides on inside
Farewell, Nanami!
Dona Dona Dona Dona
Big Brother! BIG BROTHER-R-R!!!
Farewell, Nanami.
The cart sways from side to side
BIG BROTHER-R-R!!!
Time to eat!
A dream?
Hey, did you see Nanami's cowbell?
Huh?! She's still wearing it?!
Well, she really does stand out. Although...
She really has guts to wear that thing.
It isn't guts so much as stubbornness!
Oh, yeah!
And she's never stood in line behind other people before!
Hey, you're right.
She seems a lot calmer and, well, contented about things lately.
Miss Nanami?
You're eating again?
But you just ate in the cafeteria a little while ago.
Leave me alone! It's my choice if I want to eat mo-o-o-re.
Uh, class'll be starting soon.
Oh, I know that!
Just shut up and leave me alo-o-o-ne.
Nanami, cut it out!
All that eating has made me sleepy.
Tsuwabuki, answer for me when they take attendance, okay?
B-But, I'm in the elementary school section, so...
Just leave me alo-o-o-ne.
People who just eat and sleep turn into cows, you know!
I said leave me alo-o-one.
Here, look at this!
Uh, Miss Nanami, that hair clip?
Well? Does it suit me?
Uh...Yeah, very much.
Oh, my! I just kne-e-ew it would!
Isn't it pretty?
Fight! Fight! Fight! Fight!
Fight! Fight!
Fight!
C'mon, Kiryuu! Pick up the pace!
All right, already!
What is with her?! It's like she's running in slow-motion!
I can't take anymo-o-ore.
Leave me alo-o-one.
What's the big deal? I don't care anymo-o-ore.
Tsuwabuki?
This is major! Nanami is! Nanami is!!!
She called and said she was hungry...
and told me to bring something for her to eat.
But she didn't touch what I brought her...
and went to the park, and then!
And then what? You lost sight of her here?
Exactly!
-Well, I don't see anyone around. -Oh, I don't get it!
I can't take this anymo-o-ore!
Stupid Tsuwabuki. I asked for my favorite fo-o-o-od!
He doesn't even kno-o-ow what it is?! That's so ru-u-ude!
Extra! Extra! Extra!
Squeak-squeak! It's simple!
All we have to do is hang a bell around the cat's neck!
Squeak-squeak! Oh, Mousie! What a great idea!
Squeak-squeak! But how will we get the bell...
around the cat's neck?
Squeak-squeak! Don't worry about that!
The bell's already around its neck!
The truth is, I just snuck out and did it!
Squeak-squeak! Outstanding!
Squeak-squeak! Oh, Mousie, you're wonderful!
Okay, Mr. Cat, sir. I gave 'em that phony story!
Tonight, they'll go to sleep without suspecting a thing!
You'll catch and eat 'em without any problem!
So, you're gonna let me live, like you promised, right?
Uh, Mr. Cat? Wait a minute!
-"You reap what you sow." -Definitely.
Nanami!
Take that cowbell off!
Take it off!
Can't you leave me alo-o-one?!
Don't you know what that thing around your neck really is?!
A Sebastian Dior cowbell!
Yes, a cowbell, as in a bell that a cow wears around its neck!
What are you talking abo-o-out?!
Take a good look around you!
Y-You mean my royal-quality Sebastian Dior bell is?!
Not Sebastian Dior...
-Cow-stian Dior! -C-Cowstian?
You went around, proud to wear that huge bell around your neck...
without even knowing what a cowbell is!
You're acting just like a cow!
A cow?!
Look, what's done is done and can't be helped.
Now take that thing off before...
you become a cow in both body and mind!
Wh-What are you talking abo-o-out?!
I'm not going to turn into a cow, you kno-o-ow!
Ooh...You're just trying to scare me mo-o-ore!
She must be jo-o-oking!
Miss Utena, look! It's finally finished!
What is it?
A sweater!
Thanks, but this isn't the season for it, is it?
I was so close to becoming the idol of the scho-o-o-ol!
I can't seem to think clearly anymo-o-ore!
Am I having delu-u-u-usions?!
Do I need my appendix remo-o-oved?
Perhaps I've been bitten by a poisonous snake's too-o-oth!
Bring me a blanket, someone, and soo-o-on!
Nanami?
On a sunny early afternoon
On the road to the marketplace
A two-wheel cart rattles along
What happened to Nanami?!
Oh, my!
Carrying a calf within
N-Nanami!
She's coming this way!
Oh! I get it!
The precious calf is going to be sold
Seeing this red sweater's making her mad!
Oh, my!
Miss Tenjou! Get that cowbell off her!
Gotcha! Himemiya, run for it!
Such a sad look the calf's eyes hold
Right!
I've had enough of yoo-o-ou!
Dona Dona Dona Dona
The calf rides on inside
Ole!
Dona Dona Dona Dona
Utena!
The cart sways from side to side
Dona Dona Dona Dona
The calf rides on inside
I can't take anymo-o-ore.
Dona Dona Dona Dona
The cart sways from side to side
Miss Utena!
A blue sky above
Gentle breeze blowing
How pathetic a sight.
Swallows Flying to and fro
The final days of one possessed by brand names.
A two-wheel cart on the road
Miss Jury, somehow I don't believe you mean that.
Towards the marketplace
Still, I wonder who sent Nanami that cowbell in the first place.
With a calf riding inside
If only he had wings
Oh, I see! That cowbell was for your pet here.
I call her Nanami.
He could happily fly to his field
Nanami? Oh, so that's why the mailman got mixed up!
I'm waiting for a new nose-ring to arrive for her soon.
Dona Dona Dona Dona
Nose ring?
The calf rides on inside
Dona Dona Dona Dona
The cart sways from side to side
Good morning, everyone!
So, does it suit me?
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
Jury Arisugawa's old childhood friend has transferred in here!
Shiori Takatsuki, right?
But are they friends or not nowadays?
I don't know what the deal is...
but I think Jury should forgive whatever she's done.
Miss Utena, you really are naive, aren't you?
Huh? But Shiori just wants to be friends with Jury, right?
Next time, on Revolutionary Girl Utena:
Thorns of Death
The absolute destiny: Apocalypse.
