    Let's live heroically, let's live with style.

    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

    Even if I dream, even if I cry, even if I get hurt...
    yume wo mite namida shite kizutsuitemo

    ...reality keeps on coming recklessly.
    genjitsu wa gamushara ni kuru shi

[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] ---
    
[01:36] ---
    Believe in miracles...
[01:39] ---
    ...and they will know your feelings.
[01:45] ---
    You're so cruel...
[01:48] ---
    The miracle never happened.
[01:51] ---
    You must hate me for what I've done.
[02:01] ---
    Yes... I do hate you.
[02:07] ---
    The Thorns of Death
[02:17] ---
    Next!
[02:22] ---
    Wow! The captain's incredible!
[02:24] ---
    Her movement when she goes
    for a touché is amazing!
[02:27] ---
    Next!
[02:32] ---
    Look at her moves...
    Her fencing's reached a new level.
[02:35] ---
    Juri's gotten even better.
[02:37] ---
    Next!
[02:46] ---
    You're wide open!
[02:48] ---
    That's not like you!
[02:49] ---
    Right. Sorry...
[02:50] ---
    All right? I'm letting it down now.
[02:52] ---
    All right!
[02:54] ---
    Here!
[02:54] ---
    Thank you!
[03:07] ---
    Okay, let's do our individual
    practice routines.
[03:10] ---
    Yes, Captain!
[03:23] ---
    So, you used to be friends
    with Miss Arisugawa, huh?
[03:25] ---
    Yes. My name's Shiori Takatsuki.
[03:28] ---
    I went to Ohtori up until middle school.
[03:31] ---
    I had to transfer to another
    for a while, though.
[03:34] ---
    I just transferred back in and
    started living in the dorms today.
[03:38] ---
    Sort of like a prodigal daughter.
    Glad to meet you.
[03:41] ---
    Sure, it's a pleasure.
[03:43] ---
    He's glad to meet you, too.
[03:45] ---
    How do you do?
[03:47] ---
    So, have you known Miss
    Arisugawa for a long time?
[03:50] ---
    Yes, I have.
[03:51] ---
    We were more than childhood friends.
[03:53] ---
    Juri and I really grew up together.
[03:57] ---
    Juri was always so wonderful...
[04:01] ---
    So strong... So imposing...
[04:03] ---
    Yeah, I can almost see that.
[04:05] ---
    She always protected me.
[04:08] ---
    Juri was my only friend...
[04:10] ---
    She was the only person I could
    ever depend on with all my heart.
[04:15] ---
    But now I don't deserve any of that...
[04:24] ---
    Shiori...?
[04:27] ---
    I'm so embarrassed!
[04:29] ---
    I never meant to say any of that!
[04:31] ---
    I don't have a roommate,
    so please come visit me again.
[04:51] ---
    I said to be careful, didn't I?
[04:52] ---
    A rose may be most
    beautiful when it blooms,
[04:55] ---
    but that's also when its
    thorns are most dangerous.
[05:00] ---
    Um, Souji...?
[05:04] ---
    You did it on purpose.
[05:08] ---
    We need this rose's thorns, don't we?
[05:11] ---
    Correct.
[05:12] ---
    With rose thorns more beautiful and
    more dangerous than anyone else,
[05:16] ---
    we'll defeat Utena Tenjou.
[05:18] ---
    But how will we harvest the thorns?
[05:20] ---
    You saw what happens if we
    carelessly try touching it.
[05:23] ---
    That's simple.
[05:24] ---
    The rose has a natural parasitic enemy.
[05:28] ---
    We use the parasite's poison, then?
[05:29] ---
    Will it work on this rose, though?
[05:32] ---
    Things are already set to go.
[05:40] ---
    So, you're saying your sister
    pulled a sword out of you?
[05:44] ---
    Exactly.
[05:46] ---
    And when she did it, she was
    wearing a Black Rose Seal.
[05:50] ---
    I see.
[05:51] ---
    Now, your report mentions
    that a third party aside from...
[05:55] ---
    ...the student council
    is after the Rose Bride.
[05:57] ---
    Yes, that's correct.
[05:59] ---
    I can't believe it.
[06:01] ---
    It's the truth!
[06:02] ---
    And they're obviously a definite threat!
[06:04] ---
    Besides that, they caught you,
    a member of the student council...
[06:08] ---
    ...completely off guard, didn't they?!
[06:10] ---
    Well...!
[06:11] ---
    I wasn't expecting it...
[06:14] ---
    Hey, you always do this with the watch.
[06:17] ---
    What's it mean, anyway?
[06:20] ---
    Is this hearing over?
[06:22] ---
    Oh, oh, by the way...
[06:25] ---
    What did it feel like?
[06:27] ---
    What do you mean?
[06:28] ---
    What do you think?! I bet it hurt.
[06:32] ---
    L-Look, never mind that!
[06:34] ---
    The real question is how
    do we respond to this?!
[06:36] ---
    Miss Juri, what do you think?
[06:39] ---
    Miss Juri?
[06:40] ---
    Y-You're right...
[06:43] ---
    I'm sorry. You'll have
    to excuse me for today.
[07:04] ---
    You've always been first
    in his thoughts, Juri.
[07:10] ---
    But I have no regrets
    about taking him from you.
[07:16] ---
    You must hate me for what I've done.
[07:21] ---
    Juri!
[07:26] ---
    There's something I want
    to talk to you about.
[07:31] ---
    Wait! Please, Juri! Please!
[07:44] ---
    In the end, we broke up. But...
[07:47] ---
    The fact that I stole him
    away from you remains...
[07:53] ---
    You'll never forgive me for it, will you?
[07:55] ---
    Still, I think how nice it would
    be to go back to the way it was.
[08:05] ---
    I felt that way the minute I got back here.
[08:09] ---
    This school is so full of memories...
[08:12] ---
    Those were happy times...
[08:14] ---
    With you and me and him...
[08:18] ---
    Is that all you have to say to me?
[08:22] ---
    If so, then excuse me.
[08:33] ---
    I'll just say this...
[08:36] ---
    I have no feelings for him at all.
[08:39] ---
    Not now or ever.
[08:41] ---
    You mean...!
[08:42] ---
    Yes. I never loved him.
[08:46] ---
    That's why I don't have any
    hard feelings for you now.
[08:50] ---
    But, then...
[08:51] ---
    Whose picture do you have in that pendant?
[08:54] ---
    You keep it hidden under
    your shirt, even now!
[09:09] ---
    It's you?
[09:12] ---
    That was Shiori you were talking
    to up there, wasn't it?
[09:15] ---
    And what if it was?
[09:17] ---
    I don't know what the details are,
    but how about forgiving her?
[09:20] ---
    She's a nice girl, you know?
[09:22] ---
    You used to be friends, didn't you?
[09:24] ---
    She really seems to trust you...
[09:29] ---
    You're just like Shiori...
[09:33] ---
    So cruelly innocent...
[09:36] ---
    What do you mean?
[09:38] ---
    Listen! This is none of your business!
[09:45] ---
    What's with her?!
[09:47] ---
    Miss Arisugawa is so narrow-minded!
[09:51] ---
    I mean, she didn't have
    to speak to me like that!
[09:54] ---
    You're just like Ganymede,
    the boy of the constellation Aquarius.
[09:58] ---
    Innocent and pure.
[10:01] ---
    But such innocence can hurt other people.
[10:04] ---
    Be careful.
[10:07] ---
    She sorta said the same thing to me.
[10:09] ---
    Everyone has something they'd
    rather not let other people touch.
[10:16] ---
    I guess that's life...
[10:25] ---
    Believe in miracles...
[10:28] ---
    Believe...
[10:30] ---
    The parasite's poison has begun to
    circulate through the noble rose.
[10:34] ---
    And soon the rose will
    produce its thorns for us.
[11:08] ---
    Not throwing your picture
    away was my weakness.
[11:12] ---
    But I don't believe in miracles!
[11:23] ---
    You mean it?
[11:26] ---
    Oh, yeah!
[11:29] ---
    Wait up!
[11:36] ---
    That's strange...
[11:37] ---
    Did someone come in before?
[11:47] ---
    This is... This is Juri's!

    Name:         Shiori Takatsuki
[12:01] ---
    I've hated Juri since we were children...
[12:05] ---
    She's talented, beautiful,
    popular with everyone...
[12:09] ---
    I was jealous of Juri.
[12:13] ---
    That's right... I did love him,
[12:15] ---
    but I also wanted to take
    something precious from her!
[12:18] ---
    That's all I wanted.
    And so... And so...
[12:27] ---
    Deeper... Go deeper...
[12:31] ---
    It's not that!
[12:36] ---
    Juri was always so kind to me.
[12:40] ---
    But she was just making a fool of me!
[12:43] ---
    I thought she was being kind to me...
[12:45] ---
    ...out of sympathy for not
    being as great as she was!
[12:47] ---
    That's what I thought...
[12:49] ---
    It seemed so pathetic!
[12:52] ---
    That's why I wanted to change
    the relationship we had.
[12:55] ---
    But what I did with him made me
    feel even more pathetic than before!
[12:59] ---
    I thought I wanted him for me!
[13:02] ---
    But now...
[13:03] ---
    Now, she and I are equal!
[13:05] ---
    No, I've beaten her!
[13:07] ---
    I'm the one who's always
    been there in her heart!
[13:11] ---
    I've beaten her in the end!
[13:19] ---
    Oh, what to do...
[13:21] ---
    Knowing my friend's secret makes
    me so happy I can't stand it!
[13:26] ---
    I can just see her,
[13:27] ---
    alone and miserable, looking at my picture...
[13:30] ---
    Oh, Juri... you pitiful thing...
[13:36] ---
    It's no use! It's just no use!
[13:39] ---
    Why do you look at me like that?! Why?!
[13:43] ---
    Why does it have to be this way?!
[13:51] ---
    I see.
[13:53] ---
    Your only choice is to
    revolutionize the world.
[13:56] ---
    The path you must take
    has been prepared for you.
[14:09] ---
    Where are we?
[14:20] ---
    Shiori...?
[14:22] ---
    Hi... What do you want now?
[14:25] ---
    Here.
[14:26] ---
    I believe this is yours.
[14:28] ---
    Where did you get that?!
[14:31] ---
    Then, you saw... inside...
[14:34] ---
    If you'd asked, I would have
    given you a nicer picture.
[14:44] ---
    So pretty...
[14:45] ---
    I loved the look in your
    eyes when I hurt you...
[14:49] ---
    Shiori... Don't push me...
[14:52] ---
    I always thought you were
    stronger than anyone,
[14:54] ---
    and yet now you seem so weak.

    Extra! Extra! Extra!
[15:37] ---
    I'm doomed!
[15:38] ---
    My secret is now known to everyone!
[15:42] ---
    There's nothing to worry about!
[15:44] ---
    I'm going to die!
[15:46] ---
    There's no one who would
    ever call it embarrassing.
[15:49] ---
    You think so?
[15:50] ---
    Of course.
[15:52] ---
    You aren't the only person
    who wears woolen underwear.
[15:54] ---
    But most people don't
    wear three pairs at once!
[15:58] ---
    I'm doomed after all!
[15:59] ---
    I, well-known as a fashionable dresser,
[16:01] ---
    wear woolen underwear!
[16:03] ---
    Three pairs at once, no less!
[16:06] ---
    No one will ever marry me now!
[16:08] ---
    Whatever shall I do?!
[16:11] ---
    Take 'em off?

[18:16] ---
    Upon the Black Rose, I swear!
[18:18] ---
    Why are you...?!
[18:20] ---
    This is me. The real me!
[18:23] ---
    Not the pathetic loser who cowered
    in the shadow of Juri's brilliance!
[18:27] ---
    The real me, lost in that brilliant glare...
[18:29] ---
    Yes... The one who controls Juri is me!
[18:35] ---
    The infinitely opposing relationship...
[18:40] ---
    ...in the interval between two mirrors.
[18:45] ---
    The ever-growing desires and...
[18:47] ---
    Grant me the power to
    bring the world revolution!
[18:50] ---
    ...the fickle, cruel lies.
[18:59] ---
    Aah! Man does not exist...
[19:04] ---
    Aah! Within the darkness...
[19:06] ---
    Why do this?! I thought you liked Juri!
[19:08] ---
    Aah! The sound of the waves...
[19:09] ---
    Because now I see!
[19:10] ---
    See what?!
[19:13] ---
    I see that Juri isn't the
    person everyone thinks she is!
[19:15] ---
    Even light makes darkness...
[19:16] ---
    Even light makes darkness...
[19:18] ---
    I am opposed against myself!
[19:18] ---
    And that I'm stronger than I thought I was!
[19:20] ---
    Outbreak of loneliness, that's the reason...
[19:21] ---
    What do you mean?!
[19:23] ---
    ...I am opposed against myself!
[19:25] ---
    Twins.
[19:27] ---
    Step twins.
[19:29] ---
    Those moves... They're just like Juri's!
[19:29] ---
    Scheming twins.
[19:31] ---
    Scheming twins.
[19:32] ---
    Absentee twins.
[19:33] ---
    Looks like you've figured it out!

    But, for you...

[20:25] ---
    Another opportunity to use it will come...
[20:43] ---
    Oh, Shiori, come on!
[20:45] ---
    Why'd you break up with
    your old boyfriend, anyway?
[20:47] ---
    You wanna know?
[20:48] ---
    Of course we do!
[20:51] ---
    Should I tell you...?
[20:52] ---
    Shiori seems like a whole different person.
[20:56] ---
    You think so?
[20:57] ---
    Huh? But, she's...
[20:58] ---
    She hasn't changed. Not a bit...
[21:04] ---
    Oh, no you don't!
[21:05] ---
    Share your experience with us!
[21:08] ---
    Hi there, Juri!
[21:10] ---
    Hi.
[21:12] ---
    So, then what happened?
[21:14] ---
    So then, I said this to him,
[21:16] ---
    "What the hell are you doing?!"
[21:18] ---
    Seriously?!
[21:19] ---
    Does that make me a brute?
[21:21] ---
    Nah, the jerk deserved it!
[21:23] ---
    Yeah, that's right!
[21:26] ---
    And once again, you've come back to me...
[21:30] ---
    Even after I was able to let you go once...
[21:33] ---
    Why can't I be stronger?
[21:35] ---
