**[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*
**[01:27] ---**
**[01:51] ---**
Even deep underground,
where the sun cannot reach...
**[01:54] ---**
...this rose still blooms nicely.
**[01:56] ---**
It's because my black rose
absorbs darkness itself.
**[02:00] ---**
You know, Souji...
**[02:02] ---**
I've heard that Touga Kiryuu,
the student council president...
**[02:05] ---**
...has been absent all this time.
**[02:06] ---**
That's why the academy
has been so quiet lately-
**[02:08] ---**
And that's good.
**[02:09] ---**
A proper school should be
a place of peaceful study.
**[02:17] ---**
The Boys of the Black Rose
**[02:31] ---**
Well then, I'll see you later.
**[02:36] ---**
I'm home, Chu-Chu!
**[02:39] ---**
We turned our Saturday class
into a real party today.
**[02:42] ---**
I wish your master could've been there, too.
**[02:44] ---**
She really needs to work
on her social skills.
**[02:48] ---**
Hi, Himemiya. I'm home.
**[02:50] ---**
Huh?
**[02:51] ---**
She's not here...
**[02:56] ---**
Those are left-overs from the party.
**[02:58] ---**
Ahh... I'm beat.
**[03:00] ---**
Come to think of it,
**[03:02] ---**
I don't usually see Himemiya
around on Saturday nights...
**[03:04] ---**
Hey, Chu-Chu, do you know
anything about that?
**[03:10] ---**
Oh! Mistress Utena.
**[03:12] ---**
Welcome back! Where were you?
**[03:15] ---**
At school.
**[03:16] ---**
Oh.
**[03:17] ---**
By the way, you seem to disappear
at night on the weekends.
**[03:19] ---**
Is something up?
**[03:20] ---**
Yes. There's someone
I have to visit once a week.
**[03:24] ---**
Who's that?
**[03:25] ---**
My brother.
**[03:30] ---**
You have a brother?!
**[03:37] ---**
Excuse us!
**[03:40] ---**
Oops. Wrong floor.
**[03:42] ---**
No, this is it.
**[03:46] ---**
So, this is the chairman's house?
**[03:48] ---**
Must be hell keeping it clean!
**[03:51] ---**
Pretty huge.
**[03:52] ---**
Is this your "big brother"?
**[03:54] ---**
Oh, no. That's a planetarium projector.
**[03:59] ---**
Mistress Utena?
**[04:02] ---**
H-Himemiya, we shouldn't be here!
**[04:04] ---**
Those two are having a private party!
**[04:06] ---**
Let's go home before we interrupt things!
**[04:11] ---**
How do you do?
**[04:12] ---**
I'm Akio Ohtori.
**[04:14] ---**
Excuse me! I'm Utena Tenjou!
**[04:16] ---**
Sorry about this...
**[04:17] ---**
No, no. It's my pleasure to meet you.
**[04:19] ---**
This is the first time I've gotten
to meet one of my sister's friends,
**[04:22] ---**
so I'm very happy.
**[04:23] ---**
I never realized Himemiya's brother
was the school's chairman-
**[04:26] ---**
Oh, not at all!
I'm just the acting chairman.
**[04:30] ---**
The real chairman is Kanae's father.
**[04:33] ---**
Father is very fond of Akio...
**[04:36] ---**
...and we plan to be married as soon
as I graduate from high school.
**[04:41] ---**
Well then, congratulations.
**[04:45] ---**
I keep telling her it's too soon
to be talking about that, but...
**[04:47] ---**
I didn't know they'd fixed the
chairman's house up like this.
**[04:51] ---**
The truth is that I have a
certain fondness for star-gazing.
**[04:55] ---**
You like stars, huh?
**[04:57] ---**
It's almost an obsession.
**[04:59] ---**
Some people say he got
himself adopted into my family...
**[05:03] ---**
...just to get at these facilities!
**[05:05] ---**
He slept here again last night, too.
**[05:08] ---**
I love the stars.
**[05:10] ---**
When I peer through the telescope
at those familiar lights they seem to...
**[05:13] ---**
...reveal their true faces, known only to me.
**[05:15] ---**
Just occasionally think
about me, too, all right?
**[05:17] ---**
lf I find a comet, I'll name it after you.
**[05:20] ---**
Honestly! The boy's hopeless.
**[05:24] ---**
I haven't been here long,
but I do know one thing...
**[05:28] ---**
The students here are all free,
all have a love of learning...
**[05:32] ---**
...and most of all, they never fight.
**[05:36] ---**
Correct?
**[05:37] ---**
It'd be nice if it were always that way...
**[05:40] ---**
Nothing bad ever happens at Ohtori Academy.
**[05:44] ---**
Well, Miss Kanae, I'll see you later.
**[05:46] ---**
Please, won't you start
calling me "Sister," now?
**[05:50] ---**
It won't be long until I really
am your sister, okay?
**[05:57] ---**
Sure.
**[06:02] ---**
Thank you, Mr. Mikage!
**[06:04] ---**
Your paper did the trick!
**[06:06] ---**
Our office was chosen
for the consulting position.
**[06:09] ---**
Not my paper, Professor.
**[06:11] ---**
Surely you meant your paper, right?
**[06:13] ---**
Hey! Hurry up with the gift!
**[06:16] ---**
My wife went to a hot
spring resort yesterday.
**[06:19] ---**
She said she wanted you to have this.
**[06:22] ---**
Come on!
**[06:23] ---**
Sorry for beating around the bush.
**[06:25] ---**
At the very least, I'd like you to have this.
**[06:28] ---**
There's no need for any rewards.
**[06:29] ---**
Besides, I'm sure I'll ask a favor
from you in return some day.
**[06:34] ---**
Until then, Professors...
**[06:37] ---**
If there's anything we can do
for you, we'll be happy to help!
**[06:46] ---**
The great charismatic high-school
sponsor of the Mikage seminar!
**[06:50] ---**
What presence he has!
He sends shivers down my spine!
**[06:53] ---**
The Mikage Seminar, also known
as the Circle of the Black Rose.
**[06:55] ---**
Those rumors that even...
**[06:57] ---**
...high-level career bureaucrats
are members may be true.
**[07:01] ---**
Well, we owe him now,
**[07:03] ---**
so even college professors like
us can't pry into his business.
**[07:07] ---**
Souji Mikage, the genius
high-school student...
**[07:15] ---**
Oh, yes.
**[07:16] ---**
Have you thought over my proposal?
**[07:18] ---**
Y-Yes...
**[07:19] ---**
I hoped you would. And...?
**[07:22] ---**
I appreciate the offer, but...
**[07:25] ---**
...I just don't think I'm worthy of
joining your seminar, Mr. Mikage.
**[07:29] ---**
I see.
**[07:30] ---**
A great mind such as yours would
have made a fine addition, but...
**[07:35] ---**
So, that's your answer...
**[07:37] ---**
In that case, I have no choice.
**[07:40] ---**
Tell me if you change your mind.
You won't regret it.
**[07:44] ---**
Thank you very much. See you.
**[07:52] ---**
Mistress Utena, thank you so much.
**[07:54] ---**
Huh? For what?
**[07:56] ---**
For not telling my brother about my secret.
**[07:59] ---**
Oh, that.
**[08:01] ---**
I don't want to be the cause
of any concern to him...
**[08:05] ---**
...about me being the Rose Bride
and the Duelist's Code...
**[08:08] ---**
I understand.
**[08:10] ---**
We shouldn't tell your
brother about our secrets.
**[08:12] ---**
Kanae seems like a nice girl,
and I'd hate to get her mixed up in this.
**[08:16] ---**
Let's go home.
**[08:18] ---**
Oh? Miss Tenjou! Miss Himemiya!
**[08:20] ---**
Mickey!
**[08:21] ---**
Hello there. Mickey!
**[08:21] ---**
Hello there.
**[08:22] ---**
Didn't you take the day off?
**[08:24] ---**
We went to visit Himemiya's big brother.
**[08:27] ---**
Oh, I see.
**[08:28] ---**
You were with the chairman.
**[08:30] ---**
What are you up to, Mickey?
**[08:32] ---**
Well, there's something I wanted
to check on in the reference room.
**[08:35] ---**
Wow...
**[08:36] ---**
You like to study even on your days off, huh?
**[08:38] ---**
I didn't even know this place existed!
**[08:42] ---**
You don't know about Nemuro Memorial Hall?!
**[08:45] ---**
This building has a history!
**[08:47] ---**
A history?
**[08:49] ---**
Apparently, a long time ago,
100 boys were buried alive in here!
**[08:56] ---**
You know, Mamiya...
**[08:57] ---**
I believe you deserve to be the Rose Bride.
**[09:00] ---**
Surely you mean Rose Groom.
**[09:02] ---**
I'm a boy.
**[09:04] ---**
Bride suits you much more.
**[09:08] ---**
I will make you the true Rose Bride.
**[09:11] ---**
Then we will gain the power of Dios...
**[09:13] ---**
...and make his eternal secrets ours.
**[09:16] ---**
If you say so, Souji.
**[09:17] ---**
Don't worry. Even End of the
World recognizes our potential.
**[09:21] ---**
But, for this to work...
**[09:24] ---**
...we must defeat Utena Tenjou,
take Anthy Himemiya...
**[09:27] ---**
...and then kill her.
**[09:29] ---**
Yes...
**[09:30] ---**
For that, we need strong Duelists.
**[09:49] ---**
Excuse me.
**[09:51] ---**
I have an interview scheduled for today.
***SIGN*** Interviewees, please fill out a record form.
***SIGN*** Nemuro Hall Interview Record Name: Kanae Ohtori Age: 18 Sex: Female
**[10:19] ---**
Interview Room
**[10:29] ---**
IN USE
**[10:35] ---**
High school section, senior, class A.
**[10:37] ---**
Kanae Ohtori.
**[10:39] ---**
All right, please begin.
**[10:44] ---**
Next spring, as soon as I graduate...
**[10:47] ---**
...I plan on getting married.
**[10:49] ---**
It will be to the man my father,
the chairman, has selected for me.
**[10:53] ---**
He's... He's very kind...
**[10:55] ---**
Childlike in some ways,
**[10:57] ---**
and yet really so much more mature than I am.
**[11:00] ---**
He watches over me very warmly.
**[11:04] ---**
I want to do something... Anything for him.
**[11:07] ---**
I feel that way from the bottom of my heart.
**[11:10] ---**
Except... Except...
**[11:16] ---**
Deeper... Go deeper...
**[11:20] ---**
Except...
**[11:24] ---**
Except, he has a younger sister.
**[11:28] ---**
And no matter what I do,
she still doesn't like me!
**[11:32] ---**
Something happened once.
**[11:34] ---**
I offered her one of my
favorite scarves to wear.
**[11:38] ---**
She simply said "Thank you" and
then wiped her glasses with it!
**[11:42] ---**
I was so shocked...
**[11:44] ---**
...and told her it wasn't
for wiping glasses with!
**[11:47] ---**
Then, without a word...
**[11:48] ---**
...she just turned to me and smiled!
**[11:51] ---**
And when I saw her eyes, I shivered.
**[11:54] ---**
Because they were cold, alien!
**[11:59] ---**
Father... I think he fell ill...
**[12:02] ---**
...because that awful girl's
been visiting us regularly.
**[12:06] ---**
I just...
**[12:08] ---**
I just don't have the confidence
to face her terrible smile anymore!
**[12:11] ---**
I've tried so hard to make her like me!
**[12:16] ---**
But it's no use!
**[12:19] ---**
No matter what I try...
No matter what I do...
**[12:23] ---**
...IT'S NO USE!!!
**[12:28] ---**
I understand.
**[12:29] ---**
Your only choice is to
revolutionize the world.
**[12:33] ---**
The path you must take
has been prepared for you.
**[12:48] ---**
What is this place?
**[12:49] ---**
Hallowed ground.
**[12:51] ---**
A holy place where one-hundred
Duelists now sleep.
**[12:54] ---**
This room leads to the End of the World.
**[13:00] ---**
School ID number D-13!
**[13:05] ---**
Please look.
**[13:09] ---**
This is a Rose Seal...
**[13:11] ---**
You see?
This one has turned black.
**[13:13] ---**
When its bearer dies,
the color changes in this way.
**[13:16] ---**
Although I find the black
one to be even lovelier...
**[13:23] ---**
You can't escape.
**[13:25] ---**
You have been chosen...
**[13:28] ---**
...by my black rose.
**[13:32] ---**
This is your new heart...
**[13:35] ---**
Your new life!
**[13:42] ---**
I give this rose that blooms
at the End of the World...
**[13:46] ---**
...to you!
**[13:57] ---**
For you, the Black Rose Seal...
**[14:03] ---**
Doesn't anything interesting
ever happen around here?
**[14:06] ---**
What about the party on Saturday?!
**[14:08] ---**
Oh, I don't mean that.
**[14:10] ---**
You know, something more exciting!
**[14:13] ---**
Our school's way too quiet!
**[14:18] ---**
Can't something really surprising
happen to shake things up?
**[14:20] ---**
To the Engaged: I will be waiting
in the Dueling Arena at sunset.
**[14:24] ---**
Extra! Extra! Extra!
**[14:27] ---**
At last! At last! At last!
**[14:30] ---**
At last, what I feared has come!
**[14:33] ---**
Isn't it early for her?
**[14:34] ---**
Well, she IS very grown-up!
**[14:36] ---**
Okay, say "Ahh!"
**[14:40] ---**
Well, what shall we do
about this wisdom tooth?
**[14:44] ---**
Ooh...! What should I do?!
**[14:49] ---**
Pull it out?
**[14:50] ---**
**[15:00] ---**
The absolute destiny apocalypse.
*zettai unmei mokushiroku*
**[15:04] ---**
The absolute destiny apocalypse.
*zettai unmei mokushiroku*
**[15:07] ---**
Birth records, baptismal records,
*shussei touroku senrei meibo*
**[15:14] ---**
records of death.
*shibou touroku*
**[15:17] ---**
The absolute destiny apocalypse.
*zettai unmei mokushiroku*
**[15:21] ---**
The absolute destiny apocalypse.
*zettai unmei mokushiroku*
**[15:24] ---**
My own birth, absolute birth. Apocalypse.
*watashi no tanjou zettai tanjou mokushiroku*
**[15:34] ---**
A shining place in a desert of darkness.
*yami no sabaku ni sanba uba*
**[15:41] ---**
A gold-plated Shangri-La.
*kin no mekki no tougenkyou*
**[15:47] ---**
Day and night turning back on one another.
*hiru to yoru to ga gyaku mawari*
**[15:54] ---**
A time-plated Paradise Lost.
*toki no mekki no shitsu rakuen*
**[16:01] ---**
The darkness of Sodom, the darkness of light.
*sodomu no yami hikari no yami*
**[16:08] ---**
The darkness of distance, the endless darkness.
*kanata no yami hatenaki yami*
**[16:14] ---**
The absolute destiny apocalypse.
*zettai unmei mokushiroku*
**[16:18] ---**
The absolute destiny apocalyptic darkness.
*zettai unmei mokushiyami mokushiroku*
**[16:23] ---**
Mokushi kushimo shimoku
*kumoshi moshiku shikumo.*
**[16:39] ---**
What the...?
**[16:53] ---**
W... What's...?
**[17:09] ---**
Who are you?!
**[17:11] ---**
Upon the Black Rose, I swear...
**[17:13] ---**
...I shall win this duel...
**[17:17] ---**
...and kill the Rose Bride!
**[17:19] ---**
Kana... Kanae...?
**[17:21] ---**
But why...?!
**[17:23] ---**
Kanae isn't the same as we remember her.
**[17:26] ---**
This is the real me.
**[17:29] ---**
The other me I buried within myself.
**[17:32] ---**
So long as this black rose exists,
**[17:33] ---**
I won't play at being that phony "me"!
**[17:37] ---**
That black rose is doing it...?
**[17:39] ---**
Now, Utena Tenjou!
**[17:41] ---**
Draw your sword!
**[17:42] ---**
Do it, or else I'll take the Rose Bride!
**[17:45] ---**
**[17:48] ---**
* There are good spirits and*
* there are bad spirits.*
**[17:51] ---**
* Aah! Even if the fragrance*
* of heaven is brought here.*
**[17:57] ---**
* In the depths of hell there*
* is good and evil, too!*
**[18:00] ---**
Grant me the power to
bring the world revolution!
**[18:01] ---**
**Aah! Even if the salt
of hell is carried here.**
**[18:03] ---**
* Aah! Even if the salt*
* of hell is carried here.*
**[18:07] ---**
*Since the forms cloaked in doubt are coming,*
**[18:15] ---**
*speak profoundly.*
**[18:26] ---**
How disappointing...
**[18:27] ---**
Put some effort into it!
**[18:29] ---**
Kanae, what you said before...
**[18:31] ---**
About swearing on the black
rose to win the duel...
**[18:32] ---**
**Though it's false, like the brilliant moon...**
**[18:34] ---**
...to kill the Rose Bride!
**[18:39] ---**
*...I wish to keep my treasure close.*
**[18:40] ---**
Okay... I see now.
**[18:43] ---**
Then I'll show no mercy!
**[18:45] ---**
What?!
**[18:45] ---**
*A wonder beyond man's knowledge.*
**[18:51] ---**
*People of the world, so small, feel fear.*
**[18:59] ---**
*That form is the field of battle.*
**[19:32] ---**
So that Duelist was Utena Tenjou, eh?
**[19:35] ---**
I see. No wonder End of the World
places such hope in her.
**[19:39] ---**
Creating makeshift Duelists
by freezing their hearts...
**[19:43] ---**
...won't be enough to defeat her.
**[19:54] ---**
See you, Mistress Utena.
**[19:56] ---**
Mistress Utena?
**[19:59] ---**
I'm going out, so...
**[20:01] ---**
Oh, today's when you visit your brother, huh?
**[20:04] ---**
See you later.
**[20:05] ---**
Oh, uh, Himemiya?
**[20:08] ---**
Is Kanae okay after what happened?
**[20:10] ---**
Yes, she's just fine now.
**[20:12] ---**
That's a relief.
**[20:15] ---**
But she still doesn't
remember anything about it?
**[20:18] ---**
Right. Nothing that led up to the duel.
**[20:21] ---**
I see... So, I guess we can't ask
her the reason for it, huh?
**[20:25] ---**
Anyway, I'm really sorry...
**[20:27] ---**
...for hurting someone who's
going to be your sister.
**[20:30] ---**
You shouldn't trouble yourself over that.
**[20:32] ---**
It wasn't your fault, Mistress Utena.
**[20:34] ---**
Thanks. Sorry for holding you up.
**[20:36] ---**
Say hi to your brother for me.
**[20:38] ---**
Sure.
**[20:43] ---**
Huh?
**[20:43] ---**
Chu-Chu, you're still here?
**[20:46] ---**
Aren't you going with her?
**[21:09] ---**
Come here, Anthy...
**[21:24] ---**
It's been a week.
Did you miss me?
**[21:27] ---**
Yes, Big Brother.
**[21:42] ---**
Missing truth and forever,
kissing love and true your heart.
**[21:47] ---**
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.
*uso wo kowashi tsuzuketai*
**[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*
**[22:18] ---**
...just cling to old stories.
*otona ni wa ii wake ga niau*
**[22:23] ---**
The angels who weren't chosen...
*erabarenai tenshitachi ni*
**[22:27] ---**
...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.
*uso ni kirawareteitai*

Wow, they look alike!
They really are twins!
**[23:04] ---**
I wish I had a brother or sister.
**[23:06] ---**
I'm an only-child, so I'm kinda jealous.
**[23:07] ---**
Yes, it *is* nice to have a big brother.
**[23:10] ---**
But I'm worried about these
Duelists with the black roses.
**[23:13] ---**
Someone seems to be
manipulating their hearts.

Kozue! What are you doing in that outfit?!

They got you, too?!
