    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
[01:27] ---
    
[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.
[01:44] ---
    Before the princess appeared
    a traveling prince...
[01:47] ---
    ...riding upon a white horse.
[01:50] ---
    He had a regal bearing and a kind smile.
[01:53] ---
    The prince wrapped the princess
    in a rose-scented embrace...
[01:57] ---
    ...and gently wiped the tears from her eyes.
[02:01] ---
    "Little one," he said, "who bears
    up alone in such deep sorrow."
[02:05] ---
    "Never lose that strength or nobility,
    even when you grow up."
[02:09] ---
    "I give you this to remember this day."
[02:11] ---
    "We'll meet again, won't we?"
[02:14] ---
    "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] ---
    Tracing a Path
[02:51] ---
    I wonder, I wonder,
    do you know what I wonder?
[02:55] ---
    That meddlesome hero has...
    yet again... won another duel!
[03:00] ---
    Might makes right!
[03:02] ---
    Losers are smelly old fish!
[03:04] ---
    And the winner walked away,
    looking like a lily!
[03:07] ---
    But, but, brave hero!
[03:09] ---
    You may be called back to
    the path of battle once more.
[03:12] ---
    I wonder, I wonder,
    do you know that I wonder?
[03:17] ---
    If we don't crack the world's shell,
    we will die without being born.
[03:23] ---
    If we don't crack the world's shell,
    we will die without being born.
[03:28] ---
    If we don't crack the world's shell,
    we will die without being born.
[03:34] ---
    If we don't crack the world's shell,
    we will die without being born.
[03:40] ---
    If we don't crack the world's shell...
[04:08] ---
    You still haven't awakened?
[04:10] ---
    Is the egg's shell still unbroken?
[04:18] ---
    Even the student council president failed.
[04:20] ---
    That was her seventh trial so far.
[04:23] ---
    She even managed to win
    the duel named "self."
[04:28] ---
    Did seeing her defend the Rose Bride,
    even while wounded...
[04:32] ---
    ...make you remember something familiar?
[04:38] ---
    Even the heart of the Rose Bride
    was moved a bit, wasn't it?
[04:42] ---
    I suppose seeing that has let
    you begin to have hope for her.
[04:47] ---
    No, that's not right.
[04:50] ---
    That was in the first duel, "friendship."
[04:54] ---
    Since that day she accidentally
    fought the Kendo team captain...
[05:00] ---
    ...you've had hope for her.
[05:06] ---
    You're the Kendo team captain, aren't you?
[05:10] ---
    When? Where? Who? Which?
[05:13] ---
    I want a duel with you today after school!
[05:15] ---
    I want a duel with you today after school!
[05:15] ---
    I want a duel with you today after school!
[05:23] ---
    Grant me the power to
    bring the world revolution!
[05:27] ---
    Flowing blood of caged memories.
[05:33] ---
    The cradle of 1000 years of bliss.
[05:36] ---
    You're pretty good...
[05:38] ---
    ...for a girl!
[05:39] ---
    I am an actor, eternally metaphorical.
[05:40] ---
    So, trying to be the prince who
    saves the damsel in distress?
[05:45] ---
    Well...
[05:48] ---
    Just like the sphinx, phinx
    of the winter desert.
[05:52] ---
    Wait a minute...
[05:54] ---
    That trick sword... Is it real?!
[06:00] ---
    You know the winds of sadness...
[06:00] ---
    You challenge the Sword of Dios with
    a useless wooden practice sword?
[06:04] ---
    You challenge the Sword of Dios with
    a useless wooden practice sword?
[06:05] ---
    The Sword of Dios?
[06:05] ---
    The Sword of Dios?
[06:05] ---
    ...of the body in both birth and death.
[06:07] ---
    You don't know about the Sword of Dios...?
[06:09] ---
    Who are you?
[06:11] ---
    The prince on a white horse,
    here to save her princess!
[06:11] ---
    The holy actor, eternally metaphorical.
[06:17] ---
    Little one, who bears up
    alone in such deep sorrow.
[06:20] ---
    Little one, who bears up
    alone in such deep sorrow.
[06:20] ---
    The dark light that fell
    into the abyss, marginal.

[06:21] ---
    Never lose that strength or nobility,
    even when you grow up.
[06:29] ---
    Brightly burn!
[06:30] ---
    What?!
[06:32] ---
    Awaken and sing!
[06:33] ---
    Fool!
[06:35] ---
    Born into the world! Birth of a moment!
[06:40] ---
    Over and over again!
[06:54] ---
    Impossible! I... I lost...?
[07:03] ---
    Anthy!
[07:05] ---
    Cheer up, Saionji...
[07:08] ---
    ...my schoolmate.
[07:20] ---
    Man, this has been one truly weird day.
[07:25] ---
    What was all that about?
[07:28] ---
    Better to just forget about it.
[07:34] ---
    You...
[07:36] ---
    I've been waiting for you, Mistress Utena.
[07:38] ---
    I am the Rose Bride.
[07:40] ---
    From this day forward, I am your flower.
[07:51] ---
    As you had hoped,
[07:53] ---
    she became engaged to the Rose Bride...
[07:56] ---
    ...and began to walk the path of the Duelist.
[07:59] ---
    And then came the second trial.
[08:01] ---
    The duel named "choice."
[08:08] ---
    It's a rose seal.
[08:10] ---
    Whomever wears that ring
    is marked as a Duelist.
[08:14] ---
    So, now that you're the
    current dueling champion,
[08:18] ---
    the others who wear the rose seal...
[08:21] ---
    ...will come to challenge you to duels.
[08:24] ---
    You've gotta be kidding!
[08:26] ---
    I've no intention of fighting
    these meaningless duels!
[08:29] ---
    
[08:34] ---
    The absolute destiny apocalypse.
    zettai unmei mokushiroku
[08:37] ---
    The absolute destiny apocalypse.

[09:04] ---
    Day and night turning back on one another.
    hiru to yoru to ga gyaku mawari
[09:11] ---
    A time-plated Paradise Lost.
    toki no mekki no shitsu rakuen
[09:17] ---
    The darkness of Sodom, the darkness of light.
    sodomu no yami hikari no yami
[09:24] ---
    The darkness of distance, the endless darkness.
    kanata no yami hatenaki yami
[09:31] ---
    The absolute destiny apocalypse.

    The absolute destiny apocalyptic darkness.

    Mokushi kushimo shimoku
    kumoshi moshiku shikumo.
[10:08] ---
    Celestial age. Prehistoric sea.
[10:10] ---
    Grant me the power to
    bring the world revolution!
[10:11] ---
    Grant me the power to
    bring the world revolution!
[10:11] ---
    Erosion. Accumulation.
[10:14] ---
    3 billion years. The birth of life.
[10:17] ---
    The geological age.
[10:20] ---
    Didn't you say you weren't
    going to fight any more duels?
[10:20] ---
    Cambrian. Ordovician. Silurian. Devonian.
[10:23] ---
    No choice. If I don't fight him,
    I'll get kicked out of here.
[10:27] ---
    Stromatolite. Bacterium Collenia.
[10:31] ---
    I have you!
[10:33] ---
    Triassic, Jurrasic, Cretaceous!
[10:38] ---
    I admire your courage.
[10:40] ---
    Well, I'll just purposely lose,
    so there's no problem.
[10:40] ---
    Lycopodium. Selaginella.
[10:43] ---
    Plueromeia.
[10:46] ---
    Caytonia. Bennetite.
[10:46] ---
    It may be the Sword of Dios,
    but it has no special power by itself.
[10:49] ---
    Ammonite.
[10:51] ---
    In the end, it must be
    wielded by a great swordsman!
[10:53] ---
    Rose of the sea. Lily of the sea.
[10:55] ---
    I was careless yesterday,
[10:56] ---
    Apple of the sea. Bud of the sea.
[10:57] ---
    but now I'll show you my true power!
[10:59] ---
    Angel of the sea. Mirror of the sea.
[11:02] ---
    Doorway of the sea. Shimmer of the sea.
[11:06] ---
    Carboniferous, Permian, Paleozoic!
[11:12] ---
    You in the sea. I in the sea.
[11:13] ---
    Both the sword and Anthy belong to me.
[11:16] ---
    They are the glory intended
    for Kyoichi Saionji!
[11:18] ---
    The paleozoic era within the body.
[11:19] ---
    The paleozoic era within the body.
[11:21] ---
    Prepare yourself!
[11:22] ---
    Living on and on.
[11:25] ---
    Closer and closer to death.
[11:28] ---
    The endless cycle of the paleozoic.
[11:31] ---
    Like a whale swims...
[11:35] ---
    Like a dolphin swims...
[11:38] ---
    Like a seal swims...
[11:41] ---
    ...I travel down into the depths of the sea.
[11:44] ---
    Down through the history
    in the depths of the sea.
[11:47] ---
    At the bottom I can be myself.
[11:57] ---
    Ammonite!
[12:09] ---
    Ever since that day,
    the seal on your power...
[12:12] ---
    The seal on the power
    of Dios, began to break.
[12:36] ---
    That girl was definitely of great interest.
[12:39] ---
    Your power...
[12:40] ---
    All of the power of Dios
    might be revived with her.
[12:45] ---
    The battles which followed
    were all quite personal.
[12:58] ---
    I could never match the
    feeling of my sister's playing.
[13:06] ---
    I have to get that music back.
[13:12] ---
    Theater. An extraordinary mind.
[13:18] ---
    Collective phenomenon.
[13:20] ---
    And, for that, I need the
    Bride, no matter what!
[13:23] ---
    Theater. An extraordinary person.
[13:29] ---
    Idealized reality.
[13:30] ---
    I think being seated at the
    piano suited you much more.
[13:34] ---
    I think being seated at the
    piano suited you much more.
[13:34] ---
    An operating table. A wrecked ship.
[13:40] ---
    A pure play. The spira mirabilis.
[13:42] ---
    Whirlpool. Spiral.
[13:45] ---
    Continually changing, the spira mirabilis.
[13:50] ---
    Scipio's dream...
[13:56] ---
    Theater. Illusory mind.
[13:59] ---
    So, want to try and get me to play again?
[14:01] ---
    Immortal actions.
[14:07] ---
    Theater. Illusory people.
[14:08] ---
    Unless you defend the
    precious things you possess,
[14:12] ---
    people will take them
    away from you, Mickey.
[14:12] ---
    Immortal structure.
[14:18] ---
    Ammonite. Alchemy.
[14:22] ---
    He's good!
[14:23] ---
    The sacred beetle. The spira mirabilis.
[14:26] ---
    Die to be reborn, the spira mirabilis.
[14:34] ---
    The marvelous spiral.
[14:40] ---
    My, my, my, my...
[14:42] ---
    My, my, my, my...
[14:45] ---
    Neverending theater.
[14:45] ---
    En garde!
[14:51] ---
    The geometrical stage.
[14:55] ---
    I won't lose! She's counting on me!
[14:56] ---
    I won't lose! She's counting on me!
[14:56] ---
    Life and the mystery of death.
[14:58] ---
    That's it, Mistress Utena! Get him!
[15:00] ---
    That's it, Mistress Utena! Get him!
[15:00] ---
    Everything passing away.
[15:01] ---
    Death and rebirth. Death and rebirth.
    Death and rebirth. Death and rebirth.
[15:04] ---
    Death and rebirth. Death and rebirth.
    Death and rebirth. Death and rebirth.
[15:06] ---
    Death and rebirth. Death and rebirth.
    Death and rebirth.
[15:20] ---
    You could say that it wasn't the power...
[15:22] ---
    ...to bring revolution to
    the world which caught them.
[15:24] ---
    As they pursued the miracle,
    the miracle took hold of them.
[15:28] ---
    Throw away your rose seal! Your ring!
[15:32] ---
    You make me sick!
[15:34] ---
    That "nobility" of yours...
[15:36] ---
    You have it because some guy you
    like tricked you into having it!
[15:46] ---
    Universal light. Mosaic light.
[15:49] ---
    Believe in miracles...
    Lucifer, son of the dawn.
[15:51] ---
    Lucifer, son of the dawn.
[15:52] ---
    Apocalyptic light. Michael's light.
[15:55] ---
    ...and they will know your feelings
[15:55] ---
    Androgynous, son of darkness.
[15:58] ---
    Fiery light. Heavenly light.
[16:01] ---
    The hierarchy of heaven.
[16:02] ---
    Are you all right, Prince?
[16:03] ---
    We've barely even started.
[16:04] ---
    Illusory light. Eternal light.
[16:07] ---
    Tricks of the mind. Capricious birth.
[16:10] ---
    Nyx. Erebus. Uranus. Thanatos.
[16:18] ---
    Let's go around a little more.
[16:19] ---
    His body shining bright,
    spherical in shape, Gynous.

[16:25] ---
    Born into every possible miracle, Gynous.
[16:31] ---
    The pleasure principle.
    The Nirvana principle.
[16:37] ---
    The certainty of death, namely light.
[16:40] ---
    Poor girl. You're already exhausted.
[16:43] ---
    But I absolutely won't let up on you.
[16:43] ---
    Without having lived,
[16:47] ---
    the moving phenomenon of life.
[16:47] ---
    Isn't your miracle going to happen, Prince?!
[16:56] ---
    In the universe of the mind...
[16:59] ---
    ...the drifting shape of the living.
[17:00] ---
    She's fast!
[17:03] ---
    That's why I took him from you.
[17:06] ---
    And I have no regrets about it.
[17:08] ---
    Light, temporary existence.
[17:08] ---
    You must hate me for what I've done.
[17:10] ---
    Seeking eternity, namely the folly...
[17:12] ---
    ...of returning to the beginning.
[17:14] ---
    It was you who told me
    to believe in miracles.
[17:17] ---
    The two sexes, the two
    poles, there are two of me.
[17:19] ---
    But...
[17:20] ---
    But...
[17:20] ---
    Up, down, left, right, there are two of me.
[17:23] ---
    There are no such things as miracles!!!
[17:23] ---
    Front, back, heaven, earth, two of me.
[17:26] ---
    Angel, devil, there are two of me.
[17:29] ---
    And inside I'm hollow. Inside I'm hollow.
[17:31] ---
    Inside I'm hollow. Inside I'm hollow.
[17:31] ---
    It's over.
[17:48] ---
    Yes... The young always aim
    for the end of the world...
[17:53] ---
    It's your fault my brother got hurt!
[17:58] ---
    Your fault!
[18:01] ---
    Your fault!
[18:03] ---
    The origin of the Earth. A stage setting.
[18:07] ---
    Laplace's nebula. A spectator's theory.
[18:09] ---
    Don't underestimate me!
[18:10] ---**
    Illusion of immutability.
    A riddle-solving clock.
[18:14] ---
    The baby carriage at the end of immortality.
[18:17] ---
    Myself, eternal.
[18:19] ---
    Nanami, show us your power as one who
    has been chosen by End of the World.
[18:24] ---
    Strangers, eternal.
[18:31] ---
    Two relationships. Two births.
[18:34] ---
    That mysterious scale,
    the human constellation.
[18:38] ---
    My brother has always been the
    most important thing in my life!
[18:42] ---
    It's your fault my brother got hurt!
[18:50] ---
    It's your fault.
[18:52] ---
    You came between Big Brother and me.
[18:58] ---
    It's your fault.
[19:00] ---
    It's your fault.
[19:03] ---
    It's your fault.
[19:06] ---
    It's your fault.
[19:08] ---
    It's your fault.
[19:12] ---
    Time is hypothetical, illusory.
[19:12] ---
    YOUR FAULT!!!
[19:15] ---
    The stage setting we create...
[19:17] ---
    
...the moment we are born.*
[19:19] ---
    Destiny, choices, the theory of goodbyes.
[19:22] ---
    You and I are the Milky Way.
[19:26] ---
    We have no past, no future, only now.
[19:29] ---
    All alone in the cosmic theater.
[19:32] ---
    That's me! Wait!
[19:34] ---
    My last evolution, revolution, everlution!
[19:48] ---
    Friendship.
[19:49] ---
    Choice.
[19:51] ---
    Reason.
[19:52] ---
    Love.
[19:53] ---
    Adoration.
[19:54] ---
    Conviction.
[19:55] ---
    And finally, self.
[19:58] ---
    But though she's cleared seven
    duels, she's still a Duelist.
[20:03] ---
    Could she be the person
    we've been hoping for?
[20:10] ---
    If she keeps going, there's a chance...
[20:12] ---
    ...she will reach the
    duel named "revolution."
[20:16] ---
    The day you will be completely
    released may be near.
[20:21] ---
    Don't glare at me like that.
[20:24] ---
    When we finally reach the day
    we've waited and hoped for...
[20:27] ---
    ...we will both profit equally from it.
[20:32] ---
    But, a new stage is about to begin.
[20:38] ---

[21:08] ---
    Ow, ow, ow...
[21:09] ---

    Huh? You have a brother?
[23:03] ---
    He doesn't know about me being
    the Rose Bride or the Duelist's Code.
[23:08] ---
    Please, Mistress Utena, don't
    tell him anything about it.
[23:12] ---
    I don't want to cause him any trouble.
[23:15] ---
    But it looks like some
    suspicious characters...
