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
They're thoughts I've never been able to put into words.
But... My heart is always, always whispering them...
Just as yours does to you...
Next!
Man, Jury's on a roll! That's her eighth one!
She's very skillful.
Next!
Right!
Sorry, I'm not on the roster. May I challenge you next?
Sorry.
Incredible... He's as good as Miss Jury!
No. Jury's a bit slower than he is.
I thought you'd have improved while I was gone...
but I guess I got my hopes up too high.
I thought it was you, Captain.
"Captain?''
Please...
You're the club's captain now, aren't you, Arisugawa?
Whispers in the Dark
Ruka has returned to this school.
- Ruka?! - Yes.
The captain of the fencing club. Ruka Tsuchiya.
I thought you were the fencing club's captain, Miss Jury!
I've just been filling in for him.
I had no idea.
So, what's he doing back here now?!
Nanami, I'm hurt! Is that how you speak of an upperclassman...
who's just barely out of his sickbed?
R-Ruka, sir!
I've finally made it back to school...
after being out for so long with my illness.
G-Glad to hear you're feeling better.
Thank you.
End of the World seems to be upset with you.
He complains that you're all cowards.
You've been chosen?
So, you're going to challenge Miss Tenjou now?!
Whoa! Whoa!
I've only just recovered.
Well then, what are you planning to do?
Good question.
I've been away from the Academy for a long time.
For now, I think I'll indulge myself in some normal school life.
I've had enough.
No, close up your flank.
Draw your legs in.
That's it. Much better.
Yes, sir.
No fair! Get away from him! I want him to help me!
Ruka's so wonderful!
It's like the whole school's talking about him!
Um... I'm sorry... I was... I was just... It's nothing.
I see. So, it was you.
Someone polished my sword every day while I was gone.
I'm glad.
It was you, right?
Yes.
I just wanted to help you.
So, every day I polished the sword.
Thank you. You're a very kind person.
Oh, no. I just...
Hey, check those two out!
We saw! Can you believe it?!
Way to go, Shiori!
She didn't waste any time going after Ruka!
She's usually so quiet too.
Well, when you feel the urge, you go for it, I guess.
I want to speak with you. You know where.
I'm glad. You still remember this place.
It brings back old memories.
I taught you all my fencing moves here.
From the moment you joined the club...
your talents shone brighter than anyone else's.
You're the rightful captain of the fencing club.
I leave its guidance to you.
Oh?
I don't know what you're after as a Duelist.
- However... - However?
Keep your hands off Shiori!
Why?
Shiori's...
Shiori's...an old friend of mine.
I see. I read you, loud and clear.
However, I think you have a few misconceptions.
What?!
I told you. I'm just living a normal life right now.
I'm free to fall in love with anyone on campus, aren't I?
Ruka Tsuchiya. He's even better with the sword than Jury is.
And this amazing guy has returned to the fencing club.
You seem concerned by something, Miss Utena.
Yeah.
For some reason, my heart's pounding.
Your heart is racing like a puppy's.
No, it's...
Shall we go?
No matter how long the night is, our time together is brief.
Right.
He knows.
He knows...everything.
Oh, Jury.
What's that look for?
Shiori... Don't go out with him, for your own good.
I know this is a shock for you.
But... I'm worried about you.
You can't trust him--
Jury!
You are really...just awful.
Shiori, what are you doing?
Let's get going!
Right! Coming!
- What's up? - Oh, nothing.
Jury's a really scary person, isn't she?
Oh? Is she?
Tsuchiya!
Hi.
You're...
Sorry if I surprised you.
I came with a message from Tsuchiya.
He wants to lead you to a fantastic place...
so won't you please wait for him here?
A fantastic place?
There. Can't you hear it?
If your soul has not truly given up...
then you can hear the sound...
that races through the End of the World!
What...are you talking about?
What is it? What's happening?!
Come! Come with us!
Follow us to the world you seek!
Are you surprised?
No, not at all.
I figured you'd say that.
You're taking me to a fantastic place, right?
Yes.
You're an adult now.
Everything in the world can be ours.
Yours and mine.
Everything in the world.
Yes. Fantastic, miraculous power.
- And I'll make it mine? - Yes.
How lovely.
Don't you love the throb of the engine?
Always so pretty...
Um, the roses, I mean.
Miss Utena Tenjou?
We met before.
Yeah. I saw your match with Jury Arisugawa.
Oh, you did? These roses are really spectacular.
They smell lovely.
You're a Duelist too, huh?
Meet me after school. In the Dueling Arena.
- Catch anything? - Not a nibble.
Oh! Got one!
Hang on! Don't lose it!
Okay, here goes! GOTCHA! Huh?
It's somebody's shoe.
Oh, now I've got one!
Hang on! We need a side dish for dinner!
Got it! Huh?
It's a kettle!
Look! Another bite!
All right! This time, for sure!
- A tire? - Apparently.
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
If you saw my match with Jury, then you already know.
I have far greater skill with the sword than she does.
We won't know that till we duel!
Exactly.
You have unusual abilities.
I may not be able to beat you.
Rose of nobility.
Please. Come forth!
Pentagram
Pleasure, Mandala The reproductive cycle
Grant us the power to bring the world revolution!
Ideals and reality
Men and women
Dignity, chastity
Carnal pleasures, restraint
I am tied to the dawn of creation Seraphitus
The two of us, androgynous Seraphita
Touga and Saionji are both skilled swordsmen.
And yet they couldn't beat you! What chance do I have?!
One or many Word or object
And yet they couldn't beat you! What chance do I have?!
First time I've ever heard that during a duel!
The very question as it hangs becomes its symbol
Really? Still, I've decided to fight...
Dios Croix!
All creation, gender, chaos Anima Animus!
I fight to win!
Hurry your spiritual perfection! Namely, revisit your interior!
Come on! Show me your power!
Left and right, the two sides of me
He's good!
Well, well. You may be easier than I expected.
All in heaven and earth and both the sexes
What?!
Come on, I'm barely over my illness!
Two heads, two bodies Two insides, two outsides
Take it easy on me...OKAY?!
Two breeds, two me's Two fronts, two backs
What's wrong? Finished already?
I'll make the world just for the two of us!
I'll make it so that we're the only two in the world!
I'll make it so it's only the two of us!
Now I see...
The two, the deux, the two, the deux
I will make the world androgynous!
Hermaphroditism!
Well, I just know we'll win next time!
That miraculous power should be ours, after all.
- A girl like her-- - There'll be no next time!
We'll just keep losing.
I failed because of my bride!
That's not fair!
You're the only person I've ever cared about!
Yeah! I polished your sword every day, didn't I?!
You're all that mattered!
That wasn't my sword.
Your performance was amusing.
You have a talent for ad-libs.
I told you before to keep your hands off Shiori!
- She chose this for herself. - Shut up!
Fine. I won't say anything more.
You understand why, more than any other person.
Ruka!
What are you after?! What are you thinking?!
RUKA!!!
Ancient times, Perfection Isolation in the desert
Atmosphere, Atom Causality star
Yes, a native child is conceived
The embryo of philosophy
And then lunar heaven! Mercurian heaven, Venusian heaven
Solar heaven, Martian heaven Jovian heaven, Saturnian heaven
Stellar heaven, Motive heaven And then
The endless surface of the Taurus
A single organic mechanism
A single perpetual motion machine
Ah, it is empty motion
Just empty motion
That's what it is
I've heard the rumors that Jury loves Shiori, but...
Do you understand what that means?
Outsiders can never understand.
The meaning of" love'' varies from person to person.
Um, I don't mean it to be so general.
What I'm really asking is, well...
