    Let's live heroically, let's live with style.
    isagiyoku kakko yoku ikite yukou
[00:15] ---
    Even if the two of us are torn apart...
    tatoe futari hanarebanare ni nattemo
[00:20] ---
    ...take my revolution.
[00:20] ---
    Revolutionary Girl Utena
    ...take my revolution.
[00:23] ---
    Revolutionary Girl Utena
[00:24] ---
    In the sunlit garden, we both joined our hands.
    hikarisasu garden te wo toriai
[00:29] ---
    Drawing close for comfort, we both swore...
    chikai atta nagusame atta
[00:32] ---
    ...never again would we ever fall in love.
    mou koi wa ni do to shinai yotte
[00:39] ---
    I see that photo of us standing cheek to cheek...
    hoho wo yoseatte utsuru shashin no
[00:47] ---
    ...and place a bit of my loneliness in our smiles.
    egao ni sukoshi no samishisa tsumekonde
[00:56] ---
    Even if I dream, even if I cry, even if I get hurt...
    yume wo mite namida shite kizutsuitemo
[01:00] ---
    ...reality keeps on coming recklessly.
    genjitsu wa gamushara ni kuru shi
[01:04] ---
    I wanna find my own place, the value of being...
    jibun no ibasho sonzai kachi wo mitsuketai
[01:07] ---
    ...the person I've been until now...
    kyou made no jibun wo
[01:11] ---
    Let's find the strength to throw it all away.
    isagiyoku nugisuteru
[01:13] ---
    Strip down to nothing at all.
    hadaka ni naru
[01:15] ---
    Become like rose petals, blowing free!
    jiyuu wo mau bara no you ni
[01:19] ---
    Even if the two of us are torn apart...
    tatoe futari hanarebanare ni nattemo
[01:22] ---
    ...I swear that I will change the world.
    watashi wa sekai wo kaeru
[01:32] ---
    Once upon a time, years and years ago...
[01:35] ---
    ...there was a little princess,
    and she was very sad...
[01:39] ---
    ...for her mother and father had died.
[01:43] ---
    Before the princess appeared a traveling prince...
[01:47] ---
    ...riding upon a white horse.
[01:49] ---
    He had a regal bearing and a kind smile.
[01:52] ---
    The prince wrapped the princess
    in a rose-scented embrace...
[01:56] ---
    ...and gently wiped the tears from her eyes.
[01:59] ---
    "Little one," he said, "who bears
    up alone in such deep sorrow."
[02:03] ---
    "Never lose that strength or nobility,
    even when you grow up."
[02:07] ---
    "I give you this to remember this day."
[02:09] ---
    "We'll meet again, won't we?"
[02:12] ---
    "This ring will lead you to me, one day."
[02:18] ---
    Perhaps the ring the prince gave
    her was an engagement ring.
[02:25] ---
    This was all well and good,
    but so impressed was she by him...
[02:30] ---
    ...that the princess vowed to
    become a prince herself one day.
[02:34] ---
    But was that really such a good idea?
[02:39] ---
    The Rose Bride
[02:52] ---
    She's late.
[02:59] ---
    Oh... How long does she
    expect me to wait here?!
[03:03] ---
    I'm going to start the new term by being late!
[03:05] ---
    Wakaba!
[03:06] ---
    What are you doing over there?
[03:09] ---
    Waiting to meet my boyfriend.
[03:11] ---
    "Boyfriend?"
[03:14] ---
    Well, she ditched you.
[03:16] ---
    She left the dorm really early this morning!
[03:21] ---
    Why, that... She's gonna pay!
[03:51] ---
    OHTORI ACADEMY
[04:35] ---
    Utena Tenjou.
[04:37] ---
    Do you intend to continue wearing...
[04:39] ---
    ...that weird getup for this term as well?
[04:41] ---
    Weird getup?
[04:43] ---
    Yes, weird.
[04:44] ---
    It looks good enough on all the boys here.
[04:47] ---
    Except you're a girl!
[04:48] ---
    So why are you wearing a boy's uniform?!
[04:59] ---
    There's no rule that says a girl
    can't wear a boy's uniform.
[05:03] ---
    I guess there's no problem.
[05:05] ---
    Well, that's just the way it goes.
[05:07] ---
    Why that... She's going to make
    a fool of me for another term?!
[05:38] ---
    Great. She aced us again.
[05:43] ---
    Mistress Utena! You can use my towel!
[05:47] ---
    Sure, sure. It's your turn.
[05:54] ---
    C'mon, Tenjou. If you join my basketball team...
[05:58] ---
    ...winning the regionals would be easy!
[06:01] ---
    Excuse me, I happen to be a girl!
[06:04] ---
    I'd be embarrassed to get all
    covered with smelly boys' sweat!
[06:06] ---
    Oh, come on!
[06:08] ---
    You act like a guy anyway, Tenjou!
[06:10] ---
    Would you quit insulting me?!
[06:13] ---
    So, then, why do you wear that uniform?
[06:16] ---
    To be a prince.
[06:18] ---
    Huh?
[06:19] ---
    I want to be a noble prince
    who saves princesses.
[06:24] ---
    And what's that supposed to mean?
[06:37] ---
    This smell...
[07:07] ---
    The scent of roses...
[07:11] ---
    Why does the scent of roses
    always make me think of the past?
[07:23] ---
    Hmm? What's going on?
[07:25] ---
    A lover's quarrel?
[07:27] ---
    They should do that where no one has to see it!
[07:35] ---
    Whoa, hold it.
[07:36] ---
    That's going a little too far.
[07:45] ---
    Thank goodness.
[07:47] ---
    Utena!
[07:48] ---
    Agh! Wakaba! You're heavy!
[07:52] ---
    This is for ditching me this morning!
[07:54] ---
    Deal with it!
[07:56] ---
    Right, right...
[07:57] ---
    Oh, it's Saionji!
[07:59] ---
    Saionji?
[08:00] ---
    Don't you know about Saionji?
[08:03] ---
    Oh? He's famous, huh?
[08:05] ---
    I recognize the guy in front of him.
[08:07] ---
    That's Touga Kiryuu,
    the student council president.
[08:09] ---
    Yup! And the guy next to him is
    the vice president, Kyoichi Saionji!
[08:14] ---
    And the girl?
[08:16] ---
    Oh, that's Anthy Himemiya.
[08:18] ---
    Anthy Himemiya...
[08:20] ---
    She's weird.
[08:22] ---
    She just keeps to herself
    and takes care of the roses.
[08:24] ---
    We've got her in our class for this term.
[08:26] ---
    Hmm...
[08:28] ---
    So, is Saionji going out with Himemiya or what?
[08:31] ---
    No way!
[08:32] ---
    Someone as cool as Saionji would
    never fall for a girl like that!
[08:36] ---
    They're just together because
    they're both on the student council.
[08:39] ---
    So, is that the type you fall for, Wakaba?
[08:45] ---
    Oh, wow! Are you jealous?!
[08:48] ---
    Don't worry!
[08:49] ---
    You'll always be my true love, Utena!
[08:51] ---
    You're WAY cooler than
    any of those guys can be!
[08:58] ---
    You called me out here on short
    notice, my dear council members.
[09:01] ---
    Saionji, we who wear the Rose
    Seal are all chosen members.
[09:06] ---
    Don't forget that adhering to the Code...
[09:08] ---
    ...is the only rule we must follow.
[09:10] ---
    Saionji, your treatment of the Bride recently...
[09:14] ---
    ...is causing us some concer-
[09:15] ---
    Oh? Is that so?
    ...is causing us some concer-
[09:16] ---
    Oh? Is that so?
[09:18] ---
    True, you are currently engaged to her.
[09:21] ---
    But that doesn't mean you're
    free to treat her as you please.
[09:25] ---
    As he pleases...
[09:27] ---
    As he pleases.
[09:28] ---
    Don't abuse the Bride, Saionji.
[09:32] ---
    The student council exists by
    the will of End of the World.
[09:36] ---
    If he learns of this, he won't let it go lightly.
[09:40] ---
    Mind your own business.
[09:43] ---
    The Bride and I are just a happy pair of lovebirds.
[09:47] ---
    We don't want you meddling in our affairs.
[09:50] ---
    Lovebirds...
[09:52] ---
    For now I am... Master Saionji's Bride.
[09:56] ---
    I will do whatever Master Saionji tells me to do.
[09:58] ---
    See what a nice couple we are?
    I will do whatever Master Saionji tells me to do.
[09:58] ---
    See what a nice couple we are?
[10:01] ---
    And if you're so concerned about
    the Code of the Rose Seal...
[10:05] ---
    ...then you may follow the Code
    and duel with me for the Bride.
[10:09] ---
    My fellow council members.
[10:10] ---
    Don't forget that a new Duelist will soon be here-
[10:13] ---
    I look forward to seeing who will challenge me.
[10:36] ---
    Oh, it's so pretty!
[10:39] ---
    A rose crest.
[10:41] ---
    Is that our school's crest?
[10:44] ---
    Sure looks like it.
[10:46] ---
    Who gave it to you?
[10:48] ---
    A prince on a white horse.
[10:50] ---
    Huh?
[10:51] ---
    "This ring will lead you to me, one day"...
[10:55] ---
    What do you mean?
[10:56] ---
    I remember someone saying
    that to me when I got it.
[11:01] ---
    I was so young that I can hardly remember it.
[11:04] ---
    Oh, I know what you mean.
[11:06] ---
    When I was little,
[11:07] ---
    I used to believe my mother when...
[11:09] ---
    ...she'd tell me I was a princess
    from the Onion Kingdom.
[11:12] ---
    Well, you've always had a big forehead, I guess.
[11:21] ---
    Hm? What's going on?
[11:27] ---
    What's that?
[11:28] ---
    Someone tacked somebody's
    love letter on the board.
[11:31] ---
    Love letter?
[11:33] ---
    Okay, what've we got here?
[11:35] ---
    "And so, I dance with you in
    my dreams, dear Saionji."
[11:39] ---
    "You smile at me, gently."
[11:42] ---
    "I guess I'm a fool..."
[11:44] ---
    Oh, man!
[11:47] ---
    You're the fools!
[11:49] ---
    There's nothing lower than
    what you guys are doing!
[11:52] ---
    What's wrong with reading
    something that's tacked up?
[11:53] ---
    In this case, a REAL man wouldn't read it!
[12:01] ---
    Wakaba...
[12:05] ---
    Wakaba!
[12:11] ---
    You wrote this to Saionji, didn't you?
[12:18] ---
    That Saionji guy's gonna pay for this!
[12:22] ---
    I don't know. I throw a lot of letters away.
[12:26] ---
    Anyone could have found it and put it up.
[12:29] ---
    Why'd you throw it away where
    other people could find it?!
[12:32] ---
    I can do whatever I want with my own letters.
[12:35] ---
    Oh, I remember.
[12:37] ---
    For that incredibly stupid...
[12:39] ---
    I mean, for that cheerful letter,
    the best thing to do with it...
[12:42] ---
    ...was use it to give everyone a nice laugh.
[12:44] ---
    Is that all you wanted to say?
[12:47] ---
    No.
[12:50] ---
    You're the Kendo team captain, aren't you?
[12:53] ---
    I want a duel with you today after school!
[12:56] ---
    Who do you think you are?
[12:59] ---
    I see... You must be the new challenger.
[13:03] ---
    The what?
[13:04] ---
    Very well! I'll meet you behind the school...
[13:06] ---
    ...after classes today, in the dueling arena forest.
[13:09] ---
    The forest? You mean the
    one nobody's allowed into?
[13:18] ---
    I wonder, I wonder,
    do you know what I wonder?
[13:20] ---
    There'll be another duel today
    in the forest behind the school.
[13:23] ---
    Oh, brave hero!
[13:25] ---
    Brave hero, who fights for her friend's sake...
[13:29] ---
    But, be careful, brave hero.
[13:31] ---
    They follow a Code in the forest.
[13:33] ---
    I wonder if you know that?
[13:35] ---
    I wonder, I wonder,
    do you know that I wonder?
[13:49] ---
    Oh, great! How am l supposed to get in here?
[13:54] ---
    I knew it. You need some sort of a key.
[14:11] ---
    Cold!
[14:42] ---
    What's with this entrance?
[14:47] ---
    Well, I'd say this is an invitation!
[14:52] ---
    The absolute destiny apocalypse.
    zettai unmei mokushiroku
[14:56] ---
    The absolute destiny apocalypse.
    zettai unmei mokushiroku
[14:59] ---
    Birth records, baptismal records,
    shussei touroku senrei meibo
[15:06] ---
    records of death. shibou touroku
[15:09] ---
    A shining place in a desert of darkness.
    yami no sabaku ni sanba uba
[15:16] ---
    A gold-plated Shangri-La.
    kin no mekki no tougenkyou
[15:23] ---
    Day and night turning back on one another.
    hiru to yoru to ga gyaku mawari
[15:30] ---
    A time-plated Paradise Lost.
    toki no mekki no shitsu rakuen
[15:36] ---
    The darkness of Sodom, the darkness of light.
    sodomu no yami hikari no yami
[15:43] ---
    The darkness of distance, the endless darkness.
    kanata no yami hatenaki yami

    The absolute destiny apocalyptic darkness.

[16:13] ---
    How can a castle float in mid-air...?
[16:15] ---
    That's right...
[16:16] ---
    You've never seen the castle before, have you?
[16:19] ---
    What is that thing?
[16:21] ---
    I couldn't see it from outside the forest.
[16:24] ---
    A kind of mirage.
[16:25] ---
    Think of it as a trick of the light.
[16:29] ---
    A mirage?
[16:30] ---
    Never mind that.
[16:31] ---
    I'm surprised that a person like you...
[16:33] ---
    ...who isn't in the student
    council wears the Rose Seal.
[16:36] ---
    Rose Seal?
[16:37] ---
    One of these.
[16:40] ---
    That ring!
[16:41] ---
    Anthy! Prepare us!
[16:52] ---
    Anthy Himemiya...
[17:00] ---
    Himemiya, what are you doing here?
[17:03] ---
    It's the Bride's place to be here, so she's here.
[17:07] ---
    Bride?
[17:10] ---
    This scent...
[17:16] ---
    It's the same.
[17:17] ---
    The same rose scent that he had...
[17:19] ---
    If the rose is knocked off your chest,
    you lose the duel.
[17:24] ---
    Good luck.
[17:29] ---
    What are you doing?!
[17:31] ---
    How dare you, Anthy!
[17:32] ---
    You are the Rose Bride!
[17:34] ---
    In other words, you're my flower!
[17:36] ---
    What's the meaning of you
    wishing good luck to someone else?
[17:39] ---
    Forgive me, Master Saionji.
[17:41] ---
    Are you nuts?!
[17:42] ---
    Why would you take that from this guy?!
[17:44] ---
    Because Master Saionji is the
    current champion Duelist.
[17:48] ---
    I have to do whatever he wants me to.
[17:51] ---
    What do you mean?
[17:53] ---
    You're not his girlfriend?
[17:55] ---
    Come. Let's begin.
[18:02] ---
    I don't know what's going on here,
[18:03] ---
    but I just have to beat him, right?
[18:15] ---
    Rose of the noble castle.
[18:24] ---
    Now what? Another "trick of the light"?
[18:26] ---
    Power of Dios that sleeps within me.
[18:28] ---
    Heed your master and come forth!
[18:39] ---
    Grant me the power to
    bring the world revolution!
[18:52] ---
    When? Where? Who? Which?
[18:58] ---
    When? Where? Who? Which?
[19:03] ---
    You're pretty good...
[19:05] ---
    ...for a girl!
[19:07] ---
    So, trying to be the prince who
    saves the damsel in distress?
[19:09] ---
    So, trying to be the prince who
    saves the damsel in distress?
    Flowing blood of caged memories.
[19:11] ---
    Flowing blood of caged memories.
[19:13] ---
    Well...
    Flowing blood of caged memories.
[19:15] ---
    The cradle of 1000 years of bliss.
[19:19] ---
    Wait a minute...
    The cradle of 1000 years of bliss.
[19:21] ---
    That trick sword... Is it real?!
    I am an actor, eternally metaphorical.
[19:24] ---
    I am an actor, eternally metaphorical.
[19:24] ---
    l'm shocked.
    I am an actor, eternally metaphorical.
[19:26] ---
    You challenge the Sword of Dios
    with a useless wooden practice sword?
    I am an actor, eternally metaphorical.
[19:30] ---
    You challenge the Sword of Dios
    with a useless wooden practice sword?
    Just like the sphinx, phinx of the winter desert.
[19:31] ---
    The Sword of Dios?
    Just like the sphinx, phinx of the winter desert.
[19:33] ---
    You don't know about the Sword of Dios...?
    Just like the sphinx, phinx of the winter desert.
[19:35] ---
    Just like the sphinx, phinx of the winter desert.
[19:35] ---
    Who are you?
    Just like the sphinx, phinx of the winter desert.
[19:37] ---
    Just like the sphinx, phinx of the winter desert.
[19:37] ---
    Now you've got me interested.
    Just like the sphinx, phinx of the winter desert.
[19:39] ---
    Now you've got me interested.
[19:39] ---
    This duel isn't over yet!
[19:41] ---
    You know the winds of sadness...
[19:42] ---
    Quite right. If you wish,
    You know the winds of sadness...
[19:44] ---
    I'll cut that rose from your
    chest with a single stroke.
    You know the winds of sadness...
[19:47] ---
    You had the courage to
    come and face me, after all.
    ...of the body in both birth and death.
[19:53] ---
    The prince on a white horse,
    here to save her princess!
    ...of the body in both birth and death.

[20:00] ---
    Little one, who bears up
    alone in such deep sorrow.

[20:02] ---
    Little one, who bears up

    The dark light that fell into the abyss, marginal.
[20:05] ---
    Never lose that strength or nobility,
    even when you grow up.
    The dark light that fell into the abyss, marginal.
[20:10] ---
    The dark light that fell into the abyss, marginal.
[20:11] ---
    Brightly burn!
[20:11] ---
    What?!
     Brightly burn!
[20:12] ---
    Brightly burn!
[20:14] ---
    Awaken and sing!
[20:15] ---
    Fool! Awaken and sing!
[20:17] ---
    Born into the world! Birth of a moment!
[20:22] ---
    Over and over again!
[20:36] ---
    Impossible! I... I lost...?
[20:45] ---
    Anthy!
[20:47] ---
    Cheer up, Saionji...
[20:50] ---
    ...my schoolmate.
[20:56] ---
    Well, an unexpected development.
[20:57] ---
    I think she's in the Academy's middle school.
[21:00] ---
    Oh, yes, Baby...
[21:03] ---
    You've lit the fire to my heart.
[21:09] ---
    Man, this has been one truly weird day.
[21:13] ---
    What was all that about?
[21:16] ---
    Better to just forget about it.
[21:23] ---
    You...
[21:24] ---
    I've been waiting for you, Mistress Utena.
[21:27] ---
    I am the Rose Bride.
[21:29] ---
    From this day forward, I am your flower.
[21:42] ---
    Missing truth and forever,
    kissing love and true your heart.
[21:46] ---
    Hold me tight with your arms so true.

    The key to unlock tomorrow is reality.
    ashita wo hiraku kagi wa reality
[21:54] ---
    I want to keep on smashing lies apart.

[22:07] ---
    No matter how much the two of us may talk...
    kore ijou hanashi wo shitemo
[22:10] ---
    ...you still just can't see anything.
    anata ni wa mienai
[22:14] ---
    Excuses are fitting for adults who...
    mukashi no hanashi ni sugaru
[22:17] ---
    ...just cling to old stories.
    otona ni wa ii wake ga niau
[22:23] ---
    The angels who weren't chosen...
    erabarenai tenshitachi ni
[22:26] ---
    ...don't need wings to fly!
    hane saemo iranai
[22:32] ---
    Missing truth and forever,
    kissing love and true your heart.
[22:36] ---
    I like who I'll be tomorrow and...
    ashita no jibun ga suki to
[22:40] ---
    ...I'll believe in myself because I want to believe.
    shinjiteiru no shinjitai kara
[22:44] ---
    I want to be hated by lies.

    Next Episode
[22:59] ---
    What, I have to fight a return match
    in the dueling arena tomorrow?
[23:03] ---
    Is it true no one who defies the
    student council can stay here?
[23:08] ---
    Are you sure about this, Mistress Utena?
[23:09] ---
    You said you wouldn't duel again.
[23:12] ---
    Well, I'll purposely lose, so it isn't a problem.
[23:15] ---
    Of course. Do as you please.
[23:17] ---
    Next time, on Revolutionary Girl Utena,
[23:20] ---
    "For Whom the Rose Smiles."

    For Whom the Rose Smiles
[23:22] ---
