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 swear, I'll become a prince!
If you never lose your nobility, even when you grow up...
...then that ring...
That ring will lead you back here, one day.
The One Who Brings the World Revolution
Didn't you sleep well?
I can see it in your face... Something bothering you?
Sorta...
But it's not something I can really talk about with anyone.
Everyone has secrets they have to keep, right?
Yes.
By the way, you're not wearing it today. Your ring.
Look...
If you've got the time...
If you've got the time today after school...
...can you and I hang out togeth--
Forgive me!
This isn't mine. It's yours, isn't it?
You're asking me out on a date?
Of course.
Then I'll be waiting out front at 5:30.
Man, most girls would kill to go out on a date...
...with someone as cool as you, Akio!
Ooh. Ooh.
Did you get one?
Yeah.
I just got a letter from End of the World.
A farewell letter.
I'll bet she got a letter of her own, as well.
A letter...
...quite different...
...from ours.
However, the revolution doesn't interest her.
So, the Power of Dios will remain sealed...
...and the revolution won't happen?
I don't know.
I don't know what End of the World's ultimate goal is.
By the way, do you think Utena Tenjou knows now?
About who End of the World really is?
It's been a long time since I've ridden a bike with you.
Yeah... How long has it been...?
Ooh. Ooh.
That was fun. Thanks for doing this today.
You're still not wearing your ring.
Why?
I'm starting to think that ring doesn't really suit me.
That outfit you're wearing definitely suits you.
If you like, I can give you a ring more suited to your new look.
Is Himemiya... You think she's asleep yet?
Tonight, you seem...
What?
You seem very girlish tonight.
Well, I am a girl.
The Big Dipper...
That reminds me. You haven't mentioned the stars tonight.
Shall I reveal the awful truth...?
The stars don't interest me at all.
Welcome back, Miss Utena.
Oh! You're, uh, up.
Are you mad?
About what?
Of course you'd say that.
I wonder if he was teasing me a little.
You seem very girlish tonight.
Akio said that to me.
Very girlish... Just what does that mean?
Girls are...
In the end, girls are all like Rose Brides.
Did you get a letter from End of the World?
If you go to that castle, you'll meet your prince.
So much has happened since we first met.
So much has happened...
But, is this really good bye?
You actually sent us letters...
Keeping up the act till the very end, huh?
What are your plans for her?
My plans? What do you mean?
I don't think Utena Tenjou will pass through the Rose Gate.
She has no reason to.
Doesn't she?
She never wanted to be...
...the One Who Brings the World Revolution.
But now you've worked your way into her heart.
She's chosen you, a real man, over her fantasy prince.
She has to make the choice. And the choice is not yet made...
It seems my brother loves you as well, Miss Utena.
Miss Utena...
I wish we could all stay like this forever...
Jury... Mickey...
This is rare, having both of you come like this.
Gonna challenge me to another duel?
We've received letters from End of the World.
They say you have been chosen...
...as the One Who Will Bring the World Revolution.
So...?
So...
...we were wondering what you planned to do.
The power to revolutionize the world, huh...?
Sort of amazing, isn't it?
But, in the end, all I've been doing is playing prince.
In the end, none of us were able to beat you.
Whoops!
When you think about it...
...even though I'm a member of the student council...
...all I ever did was think about myself.
And maybe this is a little pathetic...
...but even now, all I can do is think of myself.
Are you...talking about Shiori?
Why is it...?
Why can't I set my feelings free?
What are you going to do with Anthy?
You love her, don't you?
Um... That's not quite the sort of love you know, Jury.
I purely...
Not to say your feelings aren't pure, but...
But now, I'm ...
Himemiya and I...
Nanami!
Are you really that stupid?!
Haven't you figured out you're being tricked?!
I haven't seen you in that uniform for a while now.
Does this mean you've resigned from the student council?
Of course! I'm not doing that stuff anymore!
It's so ridiculous!
And you'd better stay away from the Chairman...
...and Anthy Himemiya, for your own good!
Thanks for the advice.
I'm serious!
You don't know when to mind your own business!
You're so dense!
Are you butting into my life to give me advice?
Talking to you makes me do crazy things!
'Cuz blood type-B people like me are so obsessive, I guess.
I am, too.
Listen, Miss Tenjou...
What?
I've been thinking about you a lot lately, Miss Tenjou.
Whoops.
Confessing your love?
But Mickey...
...aren't you in love with Himemiya?
Can't I change my mind?
I'll think about it.
I was wondering if you could give me a picture of yourself.
For what?
Figured I'd put it in my new locket.
Uh-oh, I think a dangerous rival just appeared.
You people are idiots!
"The Kashira Shadow Players"
Do you know? Do you know? Have you heard the news?
It's time that we broke up! I've made up my mind!
There's only one future for me! I shall be an ACTRESS!
And three...two...one...
And like that, you land a role in a movie...
...get thrust into the limelight...
...get caught in a flashy scandal, and end up with...
...all the magazines talking about you!
That's what you'll do, right?
No! I won't do that!
Well, maybe just a little...
A little?
In other words, you just want a taste of what that life is like!
EXACTLY!
I saw the application on your desk. Are you gonna go for that audition?
But...
A girl from a high school drama club, trying out for a movie...
They'll just laugh at me!
I won't laugh at you!
Really?!
So, we really are...
...true friends!
Extra! Extra! Extra!
Hi, kid.
Well, it's time to go.
Yes, sir, Mr. Judge!
Mr. Judge?
He's judging the audition tomorrow!
Okay, Mr. Judge! Let's go out to eat!
Sure, sure. Anything you want, daddy will get for you.
Daddy?
By the way, did you know only one girl...
...can be chosen at the audition?
Do you know, do you know? Do you know who it'll be?
In pain, Anthy?
Well, I'm not the one who causes it.
The world does!
Himemiya... What do you plan to do in the future?
The future?
After you've graduated from here.
Isn't there something you want to do?
As long as I can raise roses, I'll be happy.
Well, maybe you can be a florist or something.
That might be nice.
Tell me, Miss Utena...
Are you familiar with cantarella?
Cantarella...?
What's that?
It's something that was used by the Borgia family in Italy long ago.
A poison.
So, do you like those cookies?
I made them myself.
What a coincidence... I put poison in your tea.
You don't say.
This tea is delicious.
So's this cookie.
Miss Utena...
Where will you be in 10 years?
I don't know, either. But...
But what?
I hope we can be drinking tea together, like we are now.
Yes... I feel the same way.
Yeah... That would be nice.
In 10 years, we'll be together, laughing and sipping tea.
I promise.
Yes. Surely we will...
You're running away?!
It's no use!
Forgive me!
Just let me go!
You're just going to run?!
Don't we have a date to have tea and laugh together in 10 years?!
Forgive me, Miss Utena...!
Forgive me!
I didn't think you'd go.
You really want to see your prince so badly?
It's not just that.
Then why are you doing it?
For Himemiya?
Whoever believes in true friendship is a fool.
Didn't you know?
I am a fool.
"The time has come."
"When you pass through the Rose Gate, the path to the castle will open."
"There, you will gain the power to bring the world revolution."
And there, we will meet once more."
Signed, Your Prince.
Miss Utena.
There's still time.
You can still turn back.
Let's go.
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 torus.
A single organic mechanism.
A single perpetual motion machine.
Ah, it is empty motion.
Just empty motion.
That's what it is...
Time for the final duel.
The duel called "Revolution" is beginning, isn't it?
Forgive me, Miss Utena.
You have nothing to be sorry about.
This is what I've chosen to do.
But Miss Utena, you still don't know!
The truth about this world!
The true horror of this world!
Next time, on Revolutionary Girl Utena:
The Ends of the World
The absolute destiny: Apocalypse.
