[00:08] ---
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] ---

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!

saves the damsel in distress?

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.

here to save her princess!

[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.

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.
