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
I prayed for our meeting and waited so long for it.
Meeting you...
was the reason I was born!
Isn't that so, my prince?
You're in a good mood! Something nice happened to you?
Oh, yeah. Something great!
Ta-da!
Wakaba is very happy to have made...
this extra pretty lunch for her beloved Utena.
Wakaba, you must be the most normal girl I know.
You're gonna make someone a nice wife.
You bet I am!
These little octopus wieners are masterpieces!
Here! Ahhh!
Excuse me.
Excuse me. How do you do?
I'm Tatsuya Kazami. Second year, class D.
Miss Tenjou...Please read this!
Tatsuya Kazami. Second year, class D, huh?
Wakaba! Sorry.
Don't take it personally, okay?
No prob...
Tatsuya Kazami?
The thing is, I'm not into this kind of stuff...
Tatsuya Kazami!
Yes?
I just remembered!
You're the Onion Prince!
Um, "Onion Prince"?
C'mon, it's me!
Wakaba Shinohara from elementary school!
That Wakaba?
It's been ages!
I didn't know you were in this school!
I thought your name sounded familiar.
I was, like, wondering, "Is this deja vu?"
But we had met before...
Song of a Fallen Kingdom
So, what's up with Mr. "Onion Prince"?
What're you so upset about?
I wanted to give that letter back to him!
Uh, I can give the letter back for you!
I can't let you do that.
That'd be pretty crass on my part. I'll return it.
Never mind about it!
That guy isn't someone you should be concerned about!
Still, watch your step.
He can be a pretty smooth talker!
You've, uh, got a problem with him, huh?
Oh, he's always been like this!
Just chasing after girls' butts all the time!
He's a total playboy!
Whoa, whoa...
Guys like him give men everywhere a bad name!
Do you really have to go that far?
He's cruel.
Wakaba?
He's...He's just cruel.
Because...
Because he transferred away without telling me.
Wakaba.
Once upon a time, he was my prince...
Nyah! Nyah!
Onionhead! Onionhead!
Shut up! You look like pumpkins and daikons!
I have the Onion Prince to protect me!
Uh...
I have the Onion Prince to protect me!
Uh...
I have the Onion Prince to protect me!
Uh...
I have the Onion Prince to protect me!
Uh...
Well, it was a long time ago.
Your prince, huh?
Wh-What's with you?
Actually...Don't you feel fate has a hand in all this?
That can't be it.
Wakaba!
Here. She wanted you to have it back.
First of all, you just aren't Utena's type, Tatsuya.
Well, after that weird stuff you said about me...
What stuff?
You called me the "Pumpkin Prince" or whatever in front of her!
It was Onion Prince.
Well, either way!
How dare you!
How dare you...
That's something special to me.
Maybe you don't care about it...
but it's an important memory for me!
Anyway!
Introduce me again!
To her...
All right, then...
If you're gonna be that way, I'll introduce you.
But only that!
Miki, could you play the piano again at my party tomorrow?
Sure thing.
By the way...
I've noticed Miki always seems to think about...
the same person when he plays the piano.
M-Miss Jury! Please don't tease me like that!
You don't have to think about her every time you play, do you?!
I envy you, Miss Nanami.
Your desires are met by a kid in elementary school.
You shut up!
That's just play, you hear?! PLAY!
There's only one person that I truly love!
And that is why our love is eternal...
Big brother...
So, all other men are just bottom-feeders to you, huh?
There's only one person that you each truly love?
It's a shame you can't simply change who it is you love.
You'd both be much happier.
So would I...
I wonder if he really is the prince...
Wakaba was going on about before.
Pardon me?
Oh, um...
A friend met up with a childhood friend just recently.
Neither of them is being very honest with the other...
but I was wondering if he's the prince she's been waiting for.
What a wonderful story!
Oh, sorry. I'm monopolizing the conversation, aren't I?
I don't mind.
However, Miss Tenjou...
The contents of a person's heart are veiled, as though with thin silk.
You may think you can peer into it, but you can't really.
And people seldom understand...
the princes other people keep in their hearts.
Still, I am a bit jealous when I see young people in love.
I hope you find your own prince soon...
Anthy.
Yes, Big Brother.
You got it, Utena?
Just humor the guy and play it by ear, okay?
Humor him, huh?
Exactly!
And play it by ear.
Yeah!
I hear you.
I'm willing to do someone a favor.
What's that mean?
Hi! Sorry I'm late!
What kept you?! You expect us to wait all day?!
Sorry, sorry.
Um...Who's that?
Oh, let me introduce you. This is Anthy Himemiya.
She's my roommate.
Hello. How do you do? I'm Tatsuya Kazami.
Hello. My name's Himemiya.
And this is Chu-Chu.
Hi there. I'm Tatsuya Kazami. Pleased to meet you, Chu-Chu.
What, are you hitting on the monkey now?!
What's that supposed to mean?
You haven't changed a bit since I last saw you!
Would you stop saying that in front of everyone?!
Well, it's true!
You always get all lovely in front of girls!
I don't mean to.
And why do you keep accusing me of that anyway?
It's weird!
I'm just...
Never mind...It's nothing!
-What's with you? -It's nothing!
If you've got something to say, then say it!
I said it's nothing, okay?!
Go on! You wanted to talk to Utena, right?
Uh, right...
Uh, Miss Tenjou, are you going out with anyone?
No, I'm not, but...
a long time ago, a prince gave me this ring.
I've never forgotten him.
A prince, huh?
It must be nice to have a dream like that.
It looks to me like there's a princess next to you...
who's thinking about her own prince.
Right, Wakaba?
Wh-What are you talking about, Utena?!
You dream about your Onion Prince, don't you?
That's different!
My prince is...
My...My prince is...
My prince is!
Why not just admit it, Wakaba?
I said you're wrong!
Ooh...Utena, you're so mean!
Wakaba!
Um...Miss Tenjou?
What?
What you said about Wakaba's prince...
What did you mean?
Look, she talks tough, but she's still a girl.
She may not have forgotten about her prince that she met long ago.
I have the Onion Prince to protect me!
It's an important memory for me!
Miss Tenjou.
What?
The truth is...Ever since I transferred into this school...
I've known that Wakaba was here.
She hasn't changed a bit from when I knew her.
The times when she seems the happiest...
Miss Tenjou, it's when she's with you.
I figured if I could be with you...
Then you could be with Wakaba, right?
And so you wrote me that love letter.
I'm really sorry. She's so shy at heart.
I used to think she called me the Onion Prince to make fun of me.
But I was wrong.
Yeah, I guess I didn't understand this, either.
I guess people can't understand...
the princes other people keep in their hearts.
I think it's worth telling her how you feel, though.
Thank you very much!
I wonder if this is going to work out.
What is?
Tatsuya and Wakaba.
Don't worry. Romance either happens or it doesn't.
Yeah, I know, but...
Extra! Extra! Extra!
Okay, step right up! Nice, fresh tires!
We've got a sale on tires today!
I'd like some!
But what's a tire store for?
An excellent question, dear customer!
What's a fish store for?
Selling fish.
And a bread store?
It sells bread.
Well, this being a tire store, I sell tires!
Wow!
You can make a real career out of picking out good tires.
You can't tell the quality just by looking at them, you know.
Catch!
Well, then, I'll take one tire, please.
Thanks, come again!
Make a nice dish for your husband to eat!
Oh, Mr. Tire man, please!
So, how should I cook this tire for dinner tonight?
Can you eat that?
Wakaba.
You got a minute?
What's wrong? You sound serious.
What's wrong?
There's somebody you like, isn't there?
What are you?
You're in love with your prince, aren't you?
Look...When things are important, you should be honest.
I...I'm always honest.
Your prince, huh?
What about it?
Nothing...
Just wondering if you wanted to know how your prince feels, too.
How my prince feels?
But, just like you finally realize how you feel...
you probably know how your Prince feels, too, right?
Can a childhood friend really know that much?
Of course.
You're right...
I finally realize it.
I really do love my prince.
And maybe, if God's on my side...
my prince will finally turn around and notice me.
And then maybe I...
Maybe I can finally find happiness, too.
You see? You understand already.
You'll find happiness.
Tatsuya...
Wakaba...
Well, do you promise to keep this a secret?
Sure!
If you're embarrassed about this, we can keep it a secret.
I still don't really believe it...
but I'm finally going to find happiness!
Yeah...
And I hope you find happiness with someone, too!
Yeah, I'll find happiness with someone...
Well, I'd better get going now!
I can't keep him waiting forever.
Uh, who?
Who do you think?! My prince! See you!
"My prince"?
Uh...
Uh, excuse me? Is anybody here?!
Excuse me?
Is anybody here?!
Um, I know I don't have an appointment, but...
you don't mind, do you?
Sorry for barging in like this.
Middle school section, second year, Class D.
Tatsuya Kazami.
All right, please begin.
Well, I've heard the rumors.
When things go wrong, you can come here and be counseled.
There's this girl I've liked for a long time.
She's like a princess to me.
But...She left me... To see another guy.
I'm sure he's just stringing her along.
She's so innocent, and!
I'm sure he'll do this and that...
And maybe even that to her!
But it doesn't matter...
No matter how she's tarnished, she'll come back to me in the end.
Because I love her!
That's right... Love must win out in the end!
I know I can make you happy.
I'll do anything for you!
I...I!
WHY AM I NO GOOD?!
You are a truly good person.
That's why the path you must take does not lie here.
Leave now.
This is no place for someone like you.
I'm back.
Welcome home.
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 don't get it.
Why's Wakaba in such a good mood lately?
Something special must have happened to her.
I don't get it.
Why does she run home as soon as class gets out?
There must be something fun waiting for her there.
Ooh...There's a ton of stuff I don't get here!
But there's one thing I do know!
Wakaba's one of my closest friends.
Next time, on Revolutionary Girl Utena:
Wakaba's Flourishing
The absolute destiny: Apocalypse.
