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
Believe in miracles, and they will know your feelings.
That wasn't my sword.
Your performance was amusing.
You have a talent for ad-libs.
Ruka!
Believe. Believe in miracles and they will know your--
Ruka, wait! Please! You're all I ever loved!
You're all that I have now!
Would you please let go of me?
I don't know what I'll do without you!
So, please... Please, BELIEVE ME!
What should I believe?
What?!
What do you want me to believe?
That I love you more than...
I love you more than anyone else!
Ruka! Ruka!
Azure Paler Than the Sky
Looks like she's not coming today.
Of course she isn't!
Sure. How could she face anyone?
The whole school's talking about her. It's common sense.
Still, don't you think Ruka was really mean to her?
Oh? I think Shiori just went way overboard with this.
Oh, you think it was like that?
- Oh, yeah, definitely! - Yeah! Yeah!
Well, it doesn't matter either way.
- Exactly. - Man, what a mess.
Remember that breathing technique I was just using!
Right! Thank you very much!
Butting in again?
That's a bad habit of yours.
Aren't you worried about her?!
Shiori's really taking this hard!
It's between her and Ruka. It's not my problem.
And since it isn't, I'm not getting involved.
I have no right to.
You can't possibly mean that!
A friend of yours is being treated like this and you're doing nothing?!
You could at least hear her side of things!
Jury!
I'm not going to repeat myself!
I get the feeling Jury's really forcing herself to do this.
Shiori's really hurt, but Jury says it's not her problem.
I just don't get it.
Is that how she really feels about it?
Perhaps it's one part of her true feelings.
"Part'' of her feelings? That's a weird way to put it.
At times, people will say things they'd never normally say...
or do things they'd never normally do.
Do you do that too?
Miss Utena, the truth is, I...
What?
Never mind.
This is Ruka Tsuchiya. I'm not in. Please leave a message.
You're there, aren't you? I know you are.
You could at least hear me out!
So, your deeds couldn't match your words, either.
Quite right. But I was expecting it.
You what?
Utena Tenjou is a dangerous opponent.
My skills were no match for hers.
Still, I have a reason to win this, no matter what.
Is that another scheme you're dreaming up?
"There are no miracles.'' That's what she always says.
Jury!
So, it's you. What do you want?!
Shiori.
Did you come to laugh at me? You must be really happy now!
I'd never--
You really are pathetic!
Do you expect me to come to you, crying and begging for help?!
Well, too bad! I'm not doing what you expect!
Thank you very much!
- Are you serious? - Of course I am!
Surprising, since you told me before to keep my hands off her.
Now you want me to take her back.
If it'll make her happy...
Sorry, but I can't do what you ask.
Ruka!
I appreciate your friendship with her.
However, she's spoiled, pushy, and self-centered.
Not to mention a liar!
Sorry, but who'd want a girl like that?!
You son of a-- Who do you think you are?!
You don't control me.
What gives you the right to hurt her?!
You don't need to know.
My God, what a bastard you've become!
And what about you?! Presuming to order others around!
I have another proposal.
I was thinking I'd like to go out with you now.
Who'd want to go out with you?!
Because you love your fencing club's captain, don't you?
Oh, get real! You've insulted me enough!
Stop resisting.
Who do you--
When did you?!
No. No, don't! Ruka!
I've changed my mind. I'll do what you want.
I'll take her back.
You hate me more than you can stand, don't you?
Wait.
Ruka... I challenge you to a duel.
If I should lose, I'll do whatever you want.
But when I win, you and Shiori--
Understood. You don't have to say it.
From the moment you joined the fencing club...
your preeminence was clear.
Even covered in dirt, your brilliance still shone through.
Your potential was far beyond mine.
- I eventually hit a wall. - Really.
There's someone I'd like you to meet.
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!
Wh- What's that sound?!
We've been waiting for you, Touga.
Say your line, please.
Follow us to the world you seek!
Go on. Get in.
You said you'd do whatever I asked.
Where are you taking me?
Ruka, you're the only one I love.
Do you really enjoy hurting her as much as you seem to?
If we could perfect your latent abilities...
no one could beat you.
I can bring out those abilities in you.
If you and I join forces, we can defeat Utena Tenjou...
and then gain the power to work miracles!
Is that why you've been after Shiori and me like this?
To work miracles, you need a sacrifice.
You coward! You want this miracle power that badly?!
You're the one who yearns for miracles!
Shiori isn't a tool for you!
"Believe in miracles and they will know your feelings.''
Weren't those your words?
You seem to misunderstand something.
I don't need my feelings to be known.
And even if I gained the power to work miracles...
all I desire is to release her from you. That's all.
I won't let you keep doing this.
For that, I'll go along with you.
It's decided, then.
I reveal the End of the World. To you now, as well.
J-Jury... You too...now?
After school, in the Dueling Arena.
Jury!
Time for the main event, Utena Tenjou.
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
Do it.
Rose of nobility...
Please... come forth!
An ode to the face An ode to the head
An ode to the hair An ode to the nails
An ode to the chest An ode to both arms
An ode to both legs An ode to the body
Their names are crests The heraldry of the human body
Grant us the power to bring the world revolution!
The form I see in the mirror
Complex and subtle Manners and mores
Black and white court etiquette
White and black in an ever-opposing pattern
People drawing complicated symbols
The art of history via baroque techniques
Salamanders, Dragons Wild boars
Holy objects, Sacraments Faith, Virtue
Hidden feelings, huh?
The sealed-away miracle of the rose The bloom of man and beast
Pearls and gems; people and age A crucifix of diamond flowers!
How painful they must be.
Gold, silver, purple Green, red, blue, black
Alhambra, Isubahan, Caserta Linderhof, Schwartz, Bomarzo
Jury, don't hesitate!
Flora, Mathias, Versailles Obelisk, Zamek, Isola Bella
Anfi Teatro, Orpheus Grotta Neuschwanstein
Santa Maria della Consolazione
Caves, sculptures Fountains, parks, palaces
Jury, she's a fool!
Bronze-work, frescos Domes, castles, villas
She doesn't realize that you get miracles...
only by standing on the sacrifices of others!
Everywhere around, the forms of my life!
Yet miracles only come to people like her!
Don't you find that unfair, Jury?!
Near and far, I am 100 wonders!
All creation, I am 100 wonders!
All the world, I am 100 wonders!
JURY!
But, Jury, why?
Jury... It'll be all right...
It'll be all right, Jury...
"It'll be all right,'' huh?
Oh? Jury's the club's captain again?
Yes. Ruka hasn't been coming to school lately.
I see. And after he had finally recovered too.
Well, he'll be sorry if he gets expelled for poor attendance.
Look! I think that girl's hurt!
Oh, nothing to worry about. Leave it to Jury.
Sorry. And we have the regionals coming up soon too.
Don't worry. Just concentrate on letting that leg heal.
I'm really sorry to cause trouble for you, especially now.
Hey, did you hear?
Yeah, that patient died yesterday.
Poor guy! And he was really cute too.
And in the hospital, he kept saying how much he wanted to fence again.
He apparently knew how sick he was.
But he still insisted on leaving the hospital to go back to school.
There must have been a girl in the fencing club that he loved.
That reminds me. He used to say something a lot.
He wanted to give the power to grant miracles to the one he loved.
He wanted to free her from something.
- Free her? What's that mean? - Who knows?
Are you well?
The next time we meet...
there's something I'll want to ask you.
What did you hope to gain...
by pursuing the power to grant miracles?
And who did you hope to help by getting it?
Wish as hard as you can, and they will know your feelings.
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
What's wrong, Miss Utena?
There are people you just shouldn't fall in love with, aren't there?
I don't know. I'm not sure I understand.
Still, love is something you can't really help, isn't it?
Maybe you're right.
By the way, is there someone you love?
Oh, yes. There is. Someone I love very much.
Next time, on Revolutionary Girl Utena:
The Barefoot Girl
The absolute destiny: Apocalypse.
