    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

[01:30] ---
    Hey, have you heard the rumors?
[01:33] ---
    What rumors?
[01:35] ---
    About Saionji, you mean?
[01:37] ---
    Yeah! Yeah! Yeah! Yeah! Yeah!
SIGN    Senior High 2nd Year, Class A Kyoichi Saionji
[01:39] ---
    So, is that what really happened?
[01:41] ---
    Expelled
[01:41] ---
    What are you talking about now?
[01:43] ---
    It must have.
[01:45] ---
    I thought I hadn't seen him all this month.
[01:48] ---
    But why was he expelled?
[01:50] ---
    Dunno.
[01:51] ---
    Man, I really had a thing for
    him for a while there, too.
[01:54] ---
    Really? What'd you see in that guy?
[01:57] ---
    You're one to talk!
[01:58] ---
    You used to buy pictures of him!
[02:00] ---
    And you wanted a kiss from him, right?
[02:03] ---
    Aw, cut it out!
[02:05] ---
    Saionji really was cool, wasn't he?
[02:08] ---
    I wonder where he is and how he's doing.
[02:10] ---
    Really...
[02:45] ---
    Welcome back.
[02:50] ---
    I'm back...
[02:51] ---
    Wakaba Flourishing
[03:01] ---
    Did anyone come by?
[03:03] ---
    No.
[03:04] ---
    You're home late today.
[03:06] ---
    Sorry about that.
    I had some shopping to do.
[03:09] ---
    Here, I thought you could use this.
[03:11] ---
    I'm sorry about this.
[03:13] ---
    I promised I wouldn't stay long,
[03:16] ---
    but I just keep hanging around.
[03:20] ---
    Want some coffee?
[03:21] ---
    After I was expelled, I had nowhere to go.
[03:24] ---
    No friends, no money...
[03:26] ---
    In the end, I had to crawl
    back to the academy...
[03:29] ---
    ...and you, as brave as Joan
    of Arc, chose to hide me.
[03:35] ---
    But I can't keep imposing on you forever.
[03:39] ---
    I'll leave before I cause
    any trouble for you.
[03:42] ---
    No, wait! Saionji!
[03:44] ---
    Don't worry about that!
[03:45] ---
    I'm just happy to be of any help to you!
[03:49] ---
    We'll get through this together!
[03:50] ---
    And, somehow, we'll get
    you back into this school!
[03:55] ---
    Oh, Wakaba...!
[03:56] ---
    Now here, drink this and you'll feel better.
[03:59] ---
    Oh, thank you, Wakaba!
[04:01] ---
    Um, uh... I'm sorry, but...!
[04:03] ---
    Oh, s-sorry!
[04:06] ---
    That was terribly forward of me!
[04:12] ---
    Um, your coffee's going to get cold.
[04:27] ---
    Hey... If it's okay with you...
[04:31] ---
    Um...
[04:35] ---
    Would you-
[04:36] ---
    Wakaba!
[04:38] ---
    It's me! Open up!
[04:39] ---
    J-Just a minute!
    It's me! Open up!
[04:40] ---
    J-Just a minute!
[04:41] ---
    What's wrong, Wakaba?
[04:44] ---
    You busy?
[04:46] ---
    Uh-uh, not really.
[04:47] ---
    You're really sweating.
[04:49] ---
    Oh, uh, I just don't feel that well.
[04:51] ---
    Oh? Did I imagine it?
[04:53] ---
    I thought I heard you talking in here.
[04:55] ---
    You said "thank you" and "I'm sorry."
    What's going on?
[04:58] ---
    Oh, uh, I was... praying! To God!
[05:01] ---
    Praying?
[05:02] ---
    Yeah, well, I'm a really
    religious person, you know?
[05:06] ---
    Huh? You are?
[05:07] ---
    Yeah, I think it's kinda freaky myself!
[05:14] ---
    Coming in?
[05:14] ---
    Uh, no thanks! Don't want to be a bother!
[05:22] ---
    Saionji?!
[05:33] ---
    This is my secret.
[05:36] ---
    Mine and his.
[05:39] ---
    A secret only we share!
[05:49] ---
    Saionji...
[05:53] ---
    I've always, always dreamed about you...
[05:57] ---
    But he was a distant dream that
    I thought I could never reach.
[06:03] ---
    Yes...
[06:04] ---
    When you think about it,
    I never could have had him.
[06:07] ---
    "And so, I dance with you
    in my dreams, dear Saionji."
[06:11] ---
    "You smile at me, gently."
[06:13] ---
    "I guess l'm a fool..."
[06:15] ---
    Oh, man!
[06:18] ---
    But now...
[06:22] ---
    But now!
[06:25] ---
    Hey, Wakaba!
[06:27] ---
    We're having a game! Come and watch!
[06:29] ---
    Sorry! I'm busy now!
[06:32] ---
    Good luck with your game!
[06:36] ---
    Wakaba! Wanna play some volleyball?
[06:38] ---
    Sorry! Gotta pass!
[06:40] ---
    Huh? Again?
[06:43] ---
    Oh, Wakaba!
[06:45] ---
    We're doing an experiment
    in psychic phenomena...
[06:46] ---
    Pass!
[06:56] ---
    Now I'm special!
[07:00] ---
    As long as I have this secret...
[07:02] ---
    Yes! I'm special!
[07:11] ---
    Welcome back.
[07:13] ---
    You're late today.
[07:16] ---
    I'm back...
[07:19] ---
    Now, this part is going
    to be on the next test.
[07:24] ---
    Okay, who wants to tackle this next problem?
[07:28] ---
    Me!
[07:29] ---
    Me! Me!
[07:31] ---
    How about... Miss Tenjou!
[07:33] ---
    Yes, ma'am!
[07:39] ---
    Dear Saionji, here's
    500 yen for lunch.
[08:20] ---
    What's up?
[08:26] ---
    Look, has something good
    happened to you lately?
[08:29] ---
    Not really. Why?
[08:31] ---
    Nothing. You just seem
    really cheerful lately.
[08:34] ---
    And also...
[08:36] ---
    Also what?
[08:37] ---
    Well... You seem even prettier, too.
[08:40] ---
    What? Oh, Utena, cut it out!
[08:43] ---
    No, I mean it! I really mean it!
[08:46] ---
    Oh, sure. You're just saying that!
[08:50] ---
    I'm serious!
[08:52] ---
    See ya, Utena! I'm serious!
[08:52] ---
    See ya, Utena!
[08:55] ---
    Oh? Your friend Wakaba?
[08:58] ---
    Yeah. She seems really different.
[09:00] ---
    Like a goddess whose name is
    recorded in the stars, you mean?
[09:05] ---
    But why would she suddenly seem prettier?
[09:08] ---
    You wouldn't understand, would you?
[09:10] ---
    You're born for a special destiny...
[09:14] ---
    There are special people in the world.
[09:16] ---
    People who always draw attention. Yes...
[09:19] ---
    You, for example.
[09:22] ---
    Me...?
[09:23] ---
    You see?
[09:24] ---
    You're not even aware of it, are you?
[09:27] ---
    That's the special nature you were born with.
[09:32] ---
    Most people exist as one among many.
[09:35] ---
    But, given the chance, they can
    shine as they never have before.
[09:40] ---
    Carving Kit 500 yen
[09:43] ---
    Hey... What are you making there?
[09:50] ---
    It's secret.
[09:53] ---
    All I've ever wanted was
    for Wakaba to be happy.
[09:59] ---
    How much sugar do you want?
[10:01] ---
    Here.
[10:04] ---
    But it's also said...
[10:06] ---
    ...that the time a person can be special...
[10:09] ---
    ...doesn't last very long.
[10:12] ---
    It's not finished, but...
[10:15] ---
    ...this is the only way I can thank you.
[10:18] ---
    Thank you for your devotion...
[10:23] ---
    No, it's...
[10:29] ---
    This is... enough for me...
[10:51] ---
    President Kiryuu's absent
    from school right now.
[10:54] ---
    Nanami's trying hard to
    fill in for her brother...
[10:56] ---
    ...as student council
    president in the meantime.
[10:58] ---
    Miki seems to be doing
    all he can to help her.
[11:01] ---
    Miss Arisugawa is the same as always.
[11:04] ---
    That's how things are going
    with the student council.
[11:08] ---
    I see.
[11:09] ---
    By the way...
[11:10] ---
    Yes?
[11:11] ---
    Look, uh...
[11:13] ---
    You can ask me anything.
[11:15] ---
    Right. Okay...
[11:17] ---
    How is Anthy doing?
[11:25] ---
    Himemiya, you mean...?
[11:29] ---
    Well... I just figured I'd ask.
[11:36] ---
    If Saionji gets back into school...
[11:39] ---
    If he stops living with me,
[11:42] ---
    he'll just forget all about me.
[11:46] ---
    2,060 yen, please.
[12:03] ---
    It's sunset already?
[12:05] ---
    You seem to be living well, Kyoichi Saionji.
[12:09] ---
    You...! Mikage...!
[12:11] ---
    It's been a while.
[12:12] ---
    When did you...?!
    No... Why are you here?!
[12:15] ---
    No secret in this academy, however small...
[12:18] ---
    ...escapes the notice of
    the Black Rose Circle.
[12:22] ---
    Never mind that, Saionji.
[12:24] ---
    To think the former vice-president
    of the student council...
[12:27] ---
    ...is now living on the good
    graces of a female student.
[12:31] ---
    I don't plan on wasting my life away here!
[12:34] ---
    I'm going to return to the academy.
    Not just that... I'll return to the council!
[12:38] ---
    Oh...? How, exactly?
[12:39] ---
    Well...
[12:41] ---
    How do you plan to free
    yourself from this purgatory?
[12:45] ---
    Well...!
[12:46] ---
    How about this?
[12:48] ---
    What if we helped you a bit?
[12:51] ---
    What?!
[12:52] ---
    To be honest, we're worried
    about the school's future.
[12:56] ---
    Talent like yours... shouldn't be wasted.
[13:02] ---
    I see... All right.
[13:05] ---
    And what do you want from me in return?
[13:07] ---
    Good question...
[13:09] ---
    There is only one thing of
    yours that I wish to have.
[13:13] ---
    Don't worry. It's a trifle, really.
[13:35] ---
    No matter what I do for him,
[13:37] ---
    no matter how I think of him,
[13:39] ---
    in the end, she's the only
    one he's ever cared about!
[13:43] ---
    That girl, with a face that
    says she alone is special,
[13:47] ---
    will steal everything away from me!
[13:49] ---
    No matter what, I can never forgive her!
[13:55] ---
    Whether it's with love or my studies,
[13:57] ---
    all I'll ever be is a face in the crowd!
[14:00] ---
    Special people may as well
    live in another world!
[14:03] ---
    But... But as long as I had him...
[14:06] ---
    As long as he lived with me,
[14:08] ---
    I could be special, too!
[14:10] ---
    A little longer and I would
    have changed myself forever.
[14:13] ---
    But now...
[14:14] ---
    But now, that girl...!
[14:16] ---
    That girl...!!!
[14:23] ---
    I understand.
[14:24] ---
    Your only choice is to
    revolutionize the world.
[14:28] ---
    The path you must take
    has been prepared for you.
[14:31] ---
    Come...
[14:34] ---
    I never thought that thing is all he'd
    ask for in exchange for helping me.
[14:39] ---
    Well, it's not like I could
    go on living here forever.
[14:43] ---
    Okay, all systems go!
[14:46] ---
    Kyoichi Saionji sets course
    for a new age of glory!
[14:49] ---
    Launch!
[14:51] ---
    Going somewhere?
[14:53] ---
    Oh... It's you. I was wondering who it was.
[14:57] ---
    I'm sorry for having been such a bother.
[14:59] ---
    I'm going back to my old world.
[15:01] ---
    Where's that hair clip?
[15:03] ---
    Oh, that. I wasn't able to give it to you.
[15:07] ---
    But don't worry.
[15:08] ---
    I plan on buying you something expensive.
[15:11] ---
    I'd like to mail it, if I can.
[15:13] ---
    Is this address all right?
[15:16] ---
    Never mind...
[15:17] ---
    I have something even nicer now...
[15:20] ---
    That's...!
[15:33] ---
    Hmm, a sun shower...
[15:38] ---
    To the Engaged: I will be waiting
    in the Dueling Arena at sunset.
[15:41] ---
    Extra! Extra! Extra!
[15:44] ---
    At last! At last!
[15:45] ---
    At last, the rain's come!
[15:47] ---
    When rain falls on a sunny day,
    we have to marry, fast!
[15:51] ---
    For us fox girls... It's our custom!
[15:54] ---
    You guys are lucky.
[15:56] ---
    WE have to wait for it
    to snow on a sunny day...
[15:58] ---
    ...before we can get married!
[16:00] ---
    For us rabbit girls... It's the law!
[16:03] ---
    What's wrong with being single?
[16:04] ---

    Upon the Black Rose, I swear...
[18:00] ---
    Mistress Utena...
[18:01] ---
    ...I shall win this duel...
[18:04] ---
    Take the sword from me!
[18:07] ---
    ...and kill the Rose Bride!
[18:09] ---
    Take it now!
[18:10] ---
    Himemiya... I can't...
[18:13] ---
    I can't fight her...
[18:15] ---
    I can't use the sword against a friend...
[18:17] ---
    Against Wakaba...!
[18:21] ---
    Take the sword! NOW!
[18:23] ---
    That's right!
[18:24] ---
    I'm going to kill her!
[18:26] ---
    The girl who stole my Saionji from me!
[18:28] ---
    Saionji?!
[18:38] ---
    What happened?
[18:40] ---
    Wakaba, you were shining
    so brightly! What happened?!
[18:42] ---
    You wouldn't understand!
[18:44] ---
    You aren't capable of understanding!
[18:46] ---
    Hurry! Hurry, the sword...!
[18:49] ---
    Oh, it's Saionji!
[18:50] ---
    Saionji?
[18:52] ---
    Vice-president of the student council...
[18:53] ---
    ...and captain of the kendo team.
    Kyoichi Saionji!
[18:56] ---
    Oh, how pitiful...
[19:00] ---
    Stop it, Wakaba! Stop it!
[19:03] ---
    Wakaba!
[19:03] ---
    The man puts all his power...
[19:05] ---
    So, is Saionji going out
    with Himemiya or what?
[19:08] ---
    No way!
[19:09] ---
    ...into his familiar, old sword,
[19:09] ---
    Someone as cool as Saionji would
    never fall for a girl like that!
[19:13] ---
    but his aging arms feel pity.
[19:14] ---
    They're just together because
    they're both on the student council.
[19:21] ---
    Mistress Utena!
[19:22] ---
    His aim falls short, the old man staggers...
[19:23] ---
    You and that girl and the
    student council, too!
[19:25] ---
    ...and falls as the blade whiffs.
[19:26] ---
    You all look down on me!
[19:28] ---
    Without a care in the world,
[19:29] ---
    ...and falls as the blade whiffs.
[19:29] ---
    you use the special gifts
    you were born with...
[19:31] ---
    The howl of the sword's swing.
[19:32] ---
    The howl of the sword's swing.
[19:32] ---
    ...and without a second thought...
[19:32] ---
    The watchtowers of Troy,
[19:34] ---
    with flaming tops flash with lightning...
[19:34] ---
    with flaming tops flash with lightning...
[19:34] ---
    Mistress Utena!
[19:36] ---
    ...TRAMPLE THE REST OF US!!!
[19:37] ---
    ...TRAMPLE THE REST OF US!!!
[19:38] ---
    ...and come crashing down.
[19:39] ---
    Pyrrhus becomes deaf for a time.
[19:43] ---
    Wakaba...
[19:45] ---
    I know there's a lot about
    this I don't understand...
[19:45] ---
    Behold!
[19:47] ---
    White-haired old man!
[19:49] ---
    But there's one thing I'm sure of!
[19:49] ---
    The sword raised to slay you...
[19:52] ---
    But there's one thing I'm sure of!
[19:52] ---
    ...has frozen in the sky!
[19:54] ---
    You're one of my closest friends...
[19:54] ---
    Pyrrhus is completely still!
[19:57] ---
    Pyrrhus is completely still!
[19:57] ---
    Hold on... I'm going to save you...!
[20:02] ---
    But after a moment, Pyrrhus'
    animosity returns...
[20:05] ---
    And his hot-tempered sword of blood...
[20:09] ---
    ...takes aim at the aging king,
[20:12] ---
    and cuts him down.
[20:28] ---
    I could get rid of him for
    being no help to us, but...
[20:32] ---
    Saionji...
[20:33] ---
    We may as well keep the fool
    around here for some laughs.
[20:46] ---
    Saionji is just beaming with satisfaction.
[20:50] ---
    Pretty smug for a guy who
    was expelled, isn't he?
[20:54] ---
    You think he intends to return
    to the student council?
[20:57] ---
    He'd need to have a lot of nerve to try that!
[21:00] ---
    But how did he manage to
    get his expulsion reversed?
[21:04] ---
    I heard the Black Rose Circle
    had some influence in it.
[21:38] ---
    I'm back.
[21:42] ---
    Missing truth and forever,
    kissing love and true your heart.
[21:47] ---
    Hold me tight with your arms so true.
    dakishimete honto no te de
[21:51] ---
    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

[22:59] ---
    Are you kidding me?!
[23:01] ---
    What's wrong, Mistress Utena?
[23:03] ---
    Lately, whenever Nanami sees me...
[23:06] ---
    ...she calls me a pest who's crowding Touga!
[23:08] ---
    That's not very nice.
[23:10] ---
    That group of girls who
    hang around with her...
[23:12] ---
    ...must practically be saints to
    put up with her personality!
[23:16] ---
    Do you really believe that, Mistress Utena?
[23:18] ---
    Next time, on Revolutionary Girl Utena,
[23:19] ---
    Vermin
[23:21] ---
    "Vermin"
[23:22] ---
    The absolute destiny apocalypse.
