    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
[01:12] ---
    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
[01:37] ---
    Mistress Utena!
[01:39] ---
    Good morning!
[01:42] ---
    Morning!
[01:52] ---
    She's so cool!
[02:06] ---
    OHTORI ACADEMY
[02:16] ---
    For Whom the Rose Smiles
[02:26] ---
    Morning!
[02:27] ---
    Morning!
[02:37] ---
    Someone tacked somebody's
    love letter on the board.
[02:40] ---
    Okay, what've we got here?
[02:41] ---
    "And so, I dance with you
    in my dreams, dear Saionji."
[02:52] ---
    Morning, Wakaba!
[02:53] ---
    Don't usually see you reading much.
[02:56] ---
    What's the book? Huh?
[03:11] ---
    Always.
[03:13] ---
    She's always loved this guy.
[03:16] ---
    But, after she's rejected...
[03:18] ---
    ...the next day she recovers,
    another man appears...
[03:22] ---
    ...and the heroine ends up with him.
[03:26] ---
    When I read this before,
[03:27] ---
    I thought it was the lamest, stupidest book.
[03:30] ---
    Now I read it and I think
    it's the greatest thing ever!
[03:37] ---
    You're definitely the only one for me!
[03:39] ---
    Utena! Utena! Utena, my love!
[03:42] ---
    I belong to you...
[03:43] ---
    Um, Wakaba, please, enough with the
    "You're the only one for me" stuff.
[03:48] ---
    Why?
[03:53] ---
    Good morning.
[03:59] ---
    If it cannot break its egg's shell,
    a chick will die without being born.
[04:04] ---
    We are the chick.
[04:05] ---
    The world is our egg.
[04:07] ---
    If we don't crack the world's shell,
    we will die without being born.
[04:12] ---
    Smash the world's shell!
[04:17] ---
    For the revolution of the world!
[04:21] ---
    Have you received your letters
    from End of the World?
[04:25] ---
    Yes.
[04:26] ---
    I received mine.
[04:27] ---
    We all receive letters from him...
[04:31] ---
    ...and then proceed according
    to the instructions within.
[04:33] ---
    As it is written in this letter,
    Saionji failed yesterday...
[04:38] ---
    ...and the Rose Bride was engaged
    to the girl who won the duel.
[04:43] ---
    Is someone who doesn't belong
    to the student council...
[04:46] ---
    ...receiving letters from End of the World?
[04:48] ---
    Who knows?
[04:50] ---
    But she wears the Rose Seal.
    I saw it with my own eyes.
[04:54] ---
    And who is this girl?
[04:57] ---
    Utena Tenjou.
[04:59] ---
    She's rather well known in the middle school.
[05:01] ---
    Very popular.
[05:02] ---
    Such a regal and lovely young girl...
[05:04] ---
    Now, hold on!
[05:06] ---
    Someone we've never heard
    of just joins the duels?
[05:10] ---
    If this happens again...
[05:11] ---
    If it happens, what will you do?
[05:13] ---
    Drop out of the game?
[05:15] ---
    Our letters are one-way
    messages from End of the World.
[05:20] ---
    And we are free to follow them as we see fit.
[05:23] ---
    When we opened the door to the
    arena with these Rose Seals...
[05:27] ---
    ...the phantom castle appeared,
    just as the letters said it would.
[05:31] ---
    I know.
[05:33] ---
    Just seeing that proved that
    I can't drop out of this now.
[05:37] ---
    Quite. The letters from End
    of the World are specific.
[05:39] ---
    The one who wins the Rose Bride in
    the duels and is engaged to her...
[05:43] ---
    ...will finally enter the castle...
[05:46] ---
    ...and gain the power to
    bring revolution to the world.
[05:49] ---
    And that is why we must fight.
[06:00] ---
    To think that best friends like
    us got assigned separate rooms!
[06:04] ---
    God can be so cruel!
[06:06] ---
    Can't help it.
[06:07] ---
    The student council decides these things.
[06:09] ---
    Besides, getting a single is
    perfect for a cool gal like me.
[06:13] ---
    But the east dorm hasn't been used for 10 years!
[06:16] ---
    Bet you'll have a heck of
    a time cleaning it up!
[06:18] ---
    10 years...?
[06:20] ---
    Well, I'll bet cleaning it by yourself...
[06:22] ---
    ...will be perfect work for the cool gal Utena.
[06:25] ---
    Anyway, my room's in the
    south dorm, third floor.
[06:28] ---
    Come by and visit if you get sick
    of living in your haunted house.
[06:30] ---
    See ya!
[06:32] ---
    Hmm... A haunted house...
[06:35] ---
    What's the deal? It's a pretty building.
[06:38] ---
    Sheesh.
[06:39] ---
    Wakaba must've been pulling my leg.
[06:42] ---
    Hello!
[06:45] ---
    I'm Utena Tenjou.
[06:48] ---
    Nobody home?
[06:50] ---
    Don't tell me I'm the only one in here!
[06:54] ---
    Let's see... Second floor, inner room...
[07:06] ---
    10 years, huh?
[07:08] ---
    It's possible.
[07:14] ---
    Okay!
[07:21] ---
    I'm sorry, Mistress Utena.
[07:22] ---
    I'll be finished soon.
[07:24] ---
    What are you doing here?
[07:27] ---
    We'll be living together from now on.
[07:30] ---
    How do you do?
[07:31] ---
    How do you do?
[07:32] ---
    But, this is a single...
[07:34] ---
    UTENA TENJOU ANTHY HIMEMIYA
[07:37] ---
    ...isn't it?
[07:42] ---
    Funny coincidence, huh?
    Us two being roommates.
[07:46] ---
    You've really cleaned this place up.
[07:48] ---
    Sorry you had to do it yourself.
[07:51] ---
    I wanted to get it done by nightfall.
[07:54] ---
    But they only just announced
    the dorm assignments, right?
[07:58] ---
    Our getting the same room
    isn't just a coincidence.
[08:02] ---
    It's the Code of the Rose Seal.
[08:09] ---
    It's because I'm the Rose Bride.
[08:12] ---
    Bride?
[08:14] ---
    I must be engaged to whomever wins a duel.
[08:20] ---
    Are you sure about this?
[08:24] ---
    All right, first question...
[08:26] ---
    What's with the mirage
    castle and the trick sword?
[08:30] ---
    Mysteries.
[08:31] ---
    Mysteries? You mean you don't
    know what they are, either?!
[08:34] ---
    If you don't know, then why do you do that?
[08:38] ---
    Why do you always dress like a boy, Mistress Utena?
[08:43] ---
    What, this? Well... Because I like to.
[08:46] ---
    That's my answer.
[08:48] ---
    Is our being here a problem for you?
[08:52] ---
    I can't really say that, but...
[08:54] ---
    Wait, "our"...? Huh?
[09:11] ---
    Let me introduce you.
[09:13] ---
    This is my friend, Chu-Chu.
[09:15] ---
    Your pet?
[09:16] ---
    My friend.
[09:21] ---
    Uh-oh!
[09:23] ---
    Here you go.
[09:35] ---
    How do you do, Chu-Chu?
[09:37] ---
    I'm Utena Tenjou.
[09:39] ---
    Will you be my friend, too?
[09:45] ---
    I've never seen Chu-Chu take
    to someone so well, Mistress Utena.
[09:48] ---
    Look, can you cut it out
    with the "Mistress" Utena, please?
[09:52] ---
    But I'm engaged to you, Mistress Utena.
[09:56] ---
    That again...
[10:00] ---
    That Saionji guy was wearing
    a ring just like this one.
[10:05] ---
    Do you know what this thing is?
[10:08] ---
    All the members of the
    student council wear them.
[10:11] ---
    It's a Rose Seal.
[10:13] ---
    Whomever wears that ring
    is marked as a Duelist.
[10:17] ---
    So, now that you're the
    current dueling champion...
[10:20] ---
    ...the others who wear the Rose Seal...
[10:22] ---
    ...will come to challenge you to duels.
[10:26] ---
    You've gotta be kidding!
[10:28] ---
    I've no intention of fighting
    these meaningless duels!
[11:18] ---
    Oh, it's you, Mr. President.
[11:21] ---
    Am I disturbing you, Mr. Vice President?
[11:23] ---
    No, you're generally welcome into my domain.
[11:27] ---
    Is the Kendo team captain going to
    fight the middle school girl again?
[11:31] ---
    Of course.
[11:32] ---
    The power to bring the world
    revolution belongs to me.
[11:36] ---
    That girl's engagement to
    the Rose Bride is a mistake.
[11:39] ---
    That's just how it is.
[11:41] ---
    That girl... Anthy Himemiya...
[11:44] ---
    ...is engaged to the winner of the duel.
[11:47] ---
    You're wrong!
[11:48] ---
    She belongs to me.
[11:50] ---
    She's to do as I command, forever.
[11:53] ---
    That's what's written in my exchange diary.
[11:56] ---
    You keep an exchange diary?
[12:03] ---
    Great... Are me and that girl
    really the only ones in this dorm?
[12:10] ---
    Is this another part of that
    Code of the Rose Seal?
[12:20] ---
    Chu-Chu, can you tell her to hurry up?
[12:23] ---
    Otherwise this big feast is
    going to be a one-girl dinner.
[12:34] ---
    Why, Anthy?! Why won't you do as I say?!
[12:39] ---
    I'm sorry, Saionji.
[12:41] ---
    I'm engaged to Mistress Utena now.
[12:44] ---
    But didn't you devote yourself to me
    completely when we were engaged?
[12:51] ---
    Yes, but that's the past.
[12:54] ---
    Our engagement is over.
[12:58] ---
    Please forget about me.
[13:02] ---
    You shameless...!
[13:10] ---
    You're a total disgrace!
[13:12] ---
    No, YOU are!
[13:20] ---
    You again... Good timing.
[13:23] ---
    I lost the duel because I let my guard down.
[13:26] ---
    Why don't we settle once and for all...
[13:29] ---
    ...who shall possess the Rose Bride?
[13:32] ---
    I want a return match in the
    arena tomorrow, after class.
[13:40] ---
    Ridiculous!
[13:41] ---
    I refuse to fight another meaningless duel!
[13:43] ---
    I fought you yesterday because of Wakaba!
[13:46] ---
    For my friend!
[13:47] ---
    I don't care about this Rose Bride stuff!
[13:49] ---
    That may be, but I do!
[13:51] ---
    If you get engaged to the
    Rose Bride as a Duelist...
[13:56] ---
    ...then you must have no objections!
[13:57] ---
    Those who oppose the student
    council vanish from this academy!
[14:02] ---
    The school's regulations are quite specific.
[14:09] ---
    All right, I accept your challenge!
[14:11] ---
    See you after class tomorrow, in the arena!
[14:23] ---
    Didn't you say you weren't
    going to fight any more duels?
[14:26] ---
    No choice. If I don't fight him,
    I'll get kicked out of here.
[14:33] ---
    Well, I'll just purposely lose,
    so there's no problem.
[14:38] ---
    Of course. Do as you please.
[14:46] ---
    I wonder, I wonder,
    do you know what I wonder?
[14:49] ---
    There's going to be another duel
    in the forest behind the school!
[14:52] ---
    It's time we settled this.
[14:58] ---
    You got me!
[15:03] ---
    But I'm okay.
[15:04] ---
    I lost intentionally.
[15:06] ---
    But, brave hero...
[15:07] ---
    Losing may be harder than you think.
[15:09] ---
    Do you know that I wonder?
[15:12] ---
    I wonder, I wonder,
    do you know that I wonder?

    What was that just now?!
[20:39] ---
    Was that the power to
    bring the world revolution?
[20:42] ---
    The Power of Dios?!
[21:11] ---
    You didn't purposely lose?
[21:15] ---
    I didn't do it for you.
[21:17] ---
    I did it for Chu-Chu.
[21:20] ---
    If you went with Saionji, he'd just tease Chu-Chu.
[21:42] ---
    Missing truth and forever,
    kissing love and true your heart.
