[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] ---

[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.

    Mickey has a sister named Kozue Kaoru.
[23:01] ---
    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.
[23:15] ---
    Kozue! What are you doing in that outfit?!
[23:17] ---
    They got you, too?!
