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
Anyway, I said it was my first kiss, but she still just ran away.
Saying it's your first kiss is really shameless.
But it sounds better to say it's your first time, doesn't it?
Look, lies like that are totally transparent.
And it sets a pattern of mistrust.
A first kiss.
Maybe that is what it was.
Barefoot Girl
It looks like it baked fairly well.
Amazing! You can do anything, can't you, Akio?
Shouldn't the compliments wait until after you've tried it?
But it's so rare to find a guy who can bake a cake!
Coming!
Hi-ho! Wakaba Shinohara here!
Typical, perfect timing.
Wow! Akio, you made this cake?!
Help yourself. I can't guarantee it's any good, though.
Amazing! You can do anything, can't you, Akio?
I just said that.
Save your compliments until after you've tasted it.
But it's so rare to find a guy who can bake a cake!
I just said that too.
You're ruining this!
I've told you before that he has a fiancé!
Oh, please! That doesn't matter when love's involved!
Uh-HUH!
What are you talking about?
- Nothing. - Nothing at all!
Typically wicked girl's plots, eh?
No way!
Utena!
If you don't loosen up once in a while...
You're never going to fall in love!
Start acting more like a girl!
I'm saying this for your own good!
There's nothing "cool'' about wearing a boy's uniform!
But everyone thinks this style is pretty cool--
I don't care what "everyone'' thinks! What's important, is the good sense...
your guidance counselor is trying to impart!
Even saying that--
Vice Principal, talk some sense into her!
You have to follow the rules!
Girls should wear nice frilly skirts!
Who thought THAT one up?
What's going on here?
Oh! Mr. Chairman, sir!
Akio!
"A- Akio''?!
Um, um, I mean...
Vice Principal!
S- Sir!
I'd like to attend...
the middle school staff social tonight.
Oh, my, my, MY!
And I've been so wanting to have...
a nice long talk with you too, Mr. Chairman!
Oh... Oh! And another thing, sir!
It's about who's to be on the team to inspect our sister school in Amsterdam.
Oh, yes.
The selection committee should be announcing it soon.
Oh?! You don't say.
If you could maybe mention my name, sir...
I'll keep it in mind, sir.
In any case, I have some business with this young lady.
May I borrow her?
Wonderful! The chairman's looks... his fashion sense!
Oh, and try not to constrict the students so much with your rules.
I expect you to offer them guidance that stresses their independence.
Um...
What do you need me for?
Silly girl. I didn't really need you.
I happen to be a fan of your gallant style, that's all.
Aw, c'mon.
Besides, when I saw you cornered by those annoying teachers...
and still standing up for your beliefs, it seemed...
somehow very strong and noble to me.
Should the chairman really say things like that?
I don't care.
Because you're my sister's--
No.
Because you're my very special friend.
Really?
C'mon.
Idiot! What are you thinking?! Akio is!
Huh? I seem to be seeing this car a lot lately.
It's a popular model this year.
Don't like it?
Oh, no, it's not that.
U-te-na...
Wakaba.
Ah, Miss Shinohara.
Hi there!
You know, you can call me Wakaba, not Miss Shinohara, if you want to.
Okay, why're you guys sneaking out together?!
Maybe you two are on a date, right?
Of course not! We just happen to be together.
- Really? - Yes, really!
Re-e-eally really?
Of course!
Hey, Akio! Can we go for a drive together?
Whoa, WHOA!
It must be fate that I ran into you today like this.
She says after dropping by every day to visit.
Um, please?! It'll be a memory I'll treasure my whole life!
I see.
If you have two hours to spare, I can spend some time with you.
All right!
Man, she's pushy.
Oh, no, you don't. You stay here, Utena.
Why?
Because three's a crowd with dates!
Right, Akio?
Uh, right. See you later.
Uh-huh. Later!
Buh-bye!
Buh-bye.
I'll treasure this memory.
Yeah, sure.
The sea was so pretty, and the wind felt so good!
It was the perfect date!
Right, right.
Look, I know you know, but Akio still has--
Yes, he has a fiancé.
God, you can be such a killjoy.
It was just a drive. Don't over-think things!
You think I am?
You're jealous, aren't you?!
Like hell I am!
Good morning.
Good morning!
Oh, uh, morning, Himemiya.
Good morning, Miss Utena.
It's not true.
It's not true!
The only one I love is the prince.
The prince who gave me this ring.
So, then why?
Why? Why?
Why is my heart...
pounding like this?
Akio...
Akio?
Captain!
Jeez, are you okay?
Yeah, yeah. It's nothing.
What happened? It's not like you to mess up like that.
Sorry, sorry.
Be careful, okay?
Sure.
Yeah. Something definitely is wrong with me.
Are you all right, Miss Utena?
Yeah. Sorry to bother you like this.
That's all right. Shall we go to the infirmary?
By the way, Himemiya?
Yes?
There's something I--
Akio...
Big Brother, Miss Utena's hurt!
What's wrong?
Here, get in. We should have that examined at the hospital.
Sorry about this.
See you later.
Right.
Himemiya can come too!
Oh, no, she can't.
Three's a crowd with dates.
Your friend told us that. Remember?
See you, Anthy!
Yes, Big Brother.
Buh-bye.
Um, Akio?
I'm really sorry.
Having you drive me to the hospital like this.
Relax, all right?
You're practically family at this point.
S- Sure.
Say...
your wedding... it's next spring, isn't it?
She's a wonderful girl. Kanae, I mean.
Yes, she is.
- Here we are! - Thanks a lot!
Does it hurt?
I'm fine, really.
The doctor said you should stay off it today.
N- No, it's fine! I can walk!
Now, don't be unreasonable. I'll carry you on my back.
Akio, you're...you're a real playboy, aren't you?
Why?
Because...you're so good at making girls feel good.
Am I?
You don't act like a school's chairman.
You seem almost...dangerous.
You defy the rules by wearing boys' clothing, right?
We're similar, you and I.
But I do it for my prince.
Your prince?
I met a prince long ago that I loved. And now...
Rather than on my back, I should carry you in my arms.
Shoes! Shoes! Shoes! SHOES!
Get those shoes off NOW!
Why should I? They're my beloved red shoes!
If you wear them, you'll be dancing till the day you die!
I know I shouldn't... Yeah!
But I can't stop! Yeah!
You're like that too! Yeah!
You've got a pair just like mine! Yeah!
Your own red shoes!
B- But, I just carry mine around.
I don't put them on!
Ah. Never wears them, yet she still carries them.
Dum-da-Da-dum-dum.
You're a fool who carries them but won't wear them!
Life's too short to never dance!
YEAH!
- Miss Utena? - What?
- Are you hungry? - Why do you ask?
You didn't seem to eat much at dinner tonight.
Yeah. I just wasn't very hungry.
Wakaba told me something.
Yes?
She told me that there was no such thing as "wrong'' love.
That you can't help it when you fall for someone.
But there are some people you shouldn't fall in love with.
I'm not sure about that. Still...
I think Miss Wakaba may be right...
that there's a part of love that you just can't control.
You really think so?
By the way, is there someone who you love?
Yes, I do.
I have a prince of my own.
Well, well. Utena Tenjou, huh?
She's the owner of the glass slipper?
By the way...
you've fallen for her, haven't you?
Yes. Losing the duel was a shock to me.
I don't simply mean my being defeated.
It was finding a girl who shook my core beliefs.
It was the only time I've reconsidered how I live my life.
You have good insight.
She's a fine girl.
She is, indeed, Mr. Chairman.
Utena?
You didn't eat much yesterday.
Don't you feel well?
No, it's-- It's nothing.
What's wrong?
How am I supposed to answer that?
Kanae! It's rare to see you here at this hour.
This is the only time I can ever get you.
It is?
Yes, it is!
Well, I've been busy lately.
Star-gazing?
Good morning, Miss Kanae.
Good morning, Anthy dear. For heaven's sake.
Are you ever going to call me "Big Sister''?
Hmm? You're "Utena,'' right?
Good...good morning.
Like some breakfast?
No, thank you. Anyway, my mother's come too.
Your mother?
It's been a long time, Akio.
Mother! This is a rare pleasure!
There's something I want to discuss with you.
What do you want to discuss?
I believe I've been performing my duties well enough.
Could it be something we can't discuss on the phone?
Akio. Have you been avoiding my daughter lately?
Your position at this academy depends on your marrying her.
And don't forget, engagements can be canceled at any time.
I'm good to Kanae, aren't I?
I'm even considering naming a comet after her if I discover one.
Besides...
You see? I even wear her favorite fragrance.
I'm always sure to wear it, and when we're alone...
And how is your husband, the chairman?
Who cares about him?!
You're the only one. My only prince.
Utena! Guess what?! I finally saw her!
Akio's girlfriend, Kanae Ohtori!
She's wonderful! Pretty and smart-looking...
and really rich too.
I get the feeling I could never compete against her.
It's not true.
The only one I love is the prince!
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
Himemiya, your blood type's AB, right?
Let's see. This says you're evasive and don't reveal your true feelings.
Well, you're type-B, right?
It says you're self-centered and tend to jump to conclusions.
Well, excuse me!
By the way, why is Nanami staying in our room now?
Because she's type-B too.
Yeah, she jumps to conclusions, all right.
