[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] ---
    
[01:35] ---
    Look at this.
[01:36] ---
    Yes.
[01:38] ---
    We're down to one last black rose.
[01:41] ---
    Yes.
[01:45] ---
    Tokiko...
[01:47] ---
    Your brother's sins are deep.
[01:50] ---
    But true eternity will built upon the
    sacrifice of those 100 young Duelists.
[01:56] ---
    Is it true?! You did this?!
[02:01] ---
    You were behind this?!
[02:03] ---
    Yes...
[02:05] ---
    Why...?
[02:08] ---
    Why did you do this?!
[02:13] ---
    She's strong.
[02:14] ---
    Utena Tenjou, I mean.
[02:15] ---
    Yes.
[02:17] ---
    I sense immeasurable strength within her.
[02:19] ---
    Yes.
[02:21] ---
    Look at this.
[02:22] ---
    We're down to one last black rose.
[02:24] ---
    Yes.
[02:26] ---
    I just can't find it.
[02:27] ---
    A winning scenario...
[02:31] ---
    Must I get her to join me?
[02:35] ---
    Get Utena Tenjou to join us?
[02:38] ---
    Yes. We don't exactly know
    who is moving against us.
[02:42] ---
    Right now, we need help from The Engaged.
[02:48] ---
    But don't you hate her, Nanami?
[02:51] ---
    I don't like her, but this is
    a threat to the student council!
[02:54] ---
    When you consider the situation,
    we need her as a friend.
[02:58] ---
    I'm so smart!
[03:00] ---
    Big Brother, your little Nanami
    will save the student council!
[03:03] ---
    Still, all this talk about "friends"...
[03:05] ---
    Even we aren't what you'd call friends.
[03:08] ---
    Then, what are we?
[03:10] ---
    What we are...
[03:11] ---
    ...are Duelists.
[03:13] ---
    The Terms of a Duelist
[03:22] ---
    She's not here...
[03:24] ---
    Or here...
[03:25] ---
    Or here, either!
[03:27] ---
    Himemiya, where'd you go?
[03:30] ---
    If she's not here, I'm
    out of places to check.
[03:33] ---
    Maybe I shouldn't have
    blown up at her yesterday.
[03:36] ---
    Man, it's tough having
    "The Rose Bride" as a friend!
[03:41] ---
    It smells nice in here.
[03:42] ---
    Oh, Mikage...
[03:44] ---
    The gentle scent of a single blossom is nice,
[03:47] ---
    but I also enjoy the scent of many at once.
[03:50] ---
    It's exciting, how they
    compete with one another...
[03:52] ---
    Have you seen Himemiya anywhere?
[03:55] ---
    I don't know. Who is that?
[03:56] ---
    A classmate.
[03:58] ---
    She's been missing since this morning.
[03:59] ---
    You're very concerned for your friend.
[04:00] ---
    You're very concerned for your friend.
[04:01] ---
    It's not that, but...
[04:03] ---
    Did you think over what we discussed before?
[04:06] ---
    What we discussed before...?
[04:07] ---
    About you joining the Mikage Seminar.
[04:10] ---
    Well, I mean... Why do you want me?
[04:12] ---
    You have a mysterious charm...
[04:15] ---
    To be honest, I'm attracted to you.
[04:17] ---
    If possible, I'd like to get closer to you.
[04:19] ---
    Oh, so that's what it is...
[04:19] ---
    Oh, so that's what it is...
[04:26] ---
    Kind of a bold way to tell me, though...
[04:29] ---
    I'd be happy if you just came by to visit.
[04:31] ---
    And, if we become friends,
[04:34] ---
    I'll help you any time you need me to.
[04:37] ---
    Well, I'd be happy to visit you...
[04:40] ---
    But, well... I'm not really
    having any trouble...
[04:43] ---
    ...so I don't need any help.
[04:45] ---
    Besides, if I came to visit,
    Chu-Chu would come with me.
[04:49] ---
    He gets cookie crumbs everywhere.
[04:52] ---
    It's really hard to clean up after him.
[04:56] ---
    Huh?
[04:57] ---
    It doesn't have to be you personally.
[05:00] ---
    Is anyone close to you having some problems?
[05:03] ---
    Friends with problems?
[05:07] ---
    Friends with problems...
[05:09] ---
    Let's see...
[05:18] ---
    Please, don't open it.
[05:21] ---
    This coffin is for me.
[05:24] ---
    Living on... It's just making me sick.
[05:28] ---
    Why does everyone go on living
    if they all have to die someday?
[05:32] ---
    Why didn't I realize it before today?
[05:36] ---
    There's no such thing as something eternal.
[05:46] ---
    Himemiya... She came back.
[06:02] ---
    Hey, Himemiya...
[06:08] ---
    You can't quit being the Rose Bride, can you?
[06:19] ---
    Friends with problems, huh...?
[06:29] ---
    Excuse me!
[06:32] ---
    Excuse me!
[06:34] ---
    Anybody home?
[06:36] ---
    Hello?!
[06:40] ---
    Oh, I'm so tired...
[06:42] ---
    Why am I so sleepy lately?
[06:49] ---
    You have a visitor in the entrance hall.
[06:51] ---
    Thank you. I'll be there shortly.
[06:53] ---
    Well, I have a car waiting for me.
    I'll be going now.
[06:56] ---
    I see.
[06:57] ---
    Thank you for all your work.
[06:59] ---
    Having me dismissed so suddenly...
    You haven't changed at all.
[07:02] ---
    You're the same as when we first met.
[07:04] ---
    "Be my secretary," you suddenly asked.
[07:07] ---
    Well, it doesn't matter now.
[07:08] ---
    I can let my hair down now
    that I'm free of your yoke.
[07:11] ---
    When you looked at me, I always
    wondered how I appeared to you.
[07:15] ---
    You are who you are.
[07:16] ---
    You really are a special person.
[07:19] ---
    Maybe one of the chosen.
[07:21] ---
    But the one I fell in love with
    wasn't a younger boy like you.
[07:25] ---
    I am who I am.
[07:29] ---
    Well then, goodbye.
[07:51] ---
    Huh...?
[07:55] ---
    Kanae...
[07:58] ---
    And Kozue, too.
[08:06] ---
    What is all this...?
[08:19] ---
    The path to the Dueling
    Arena has been opened.
[08:22] ---
    Soon it will all begin.
[08:24] ---
    With this, Professor
    Nemuro's work is finished.
[08:27] ---
    We'll probably carry on without him.
[08:30] ---
    That's what that man is probably planning.
[08:33] ---
    Surely even he will lose to someone.
[08:36] ---
    And then we will carry on without him.
[08:39] ---
    Come. Let's open the champagne.
[08:43] ---
    They're so selfish.
[08:46] ---
    Opening the way to that area where...
[08:48] ---
    ...the castle appears was
    your doing, wasn't it?
[08:52] ---
    They all fear you.
[08:55] ---
    They think eternity is almost in your grasp.
[08:57] ---
    I will not duel with them.
[08:59] ---
    Why? Don't you want the power
    to revolutionize the world?
[09:05] ---
    That castle is where eternity dwells.
[09:12] ---
    Eternity means "to last forever," doesn't it?
[09:16] ---
    For years... Decades...
[09:18] ---
    Centuries... Millennia...
[09:20] ---
    Millions of years... Billions of years...
[09:23] ---
    Epoch upon epoch, age upon age...
[09:25] ---
    My life may only be a fraction of an instant.
[09:29] ---
    But eternity is that instant lasting
    for millions upon millions of years.
[09:34] ---
    Never ending...
[09:37] ---
    I... I...
[09:40] ---
    I want eternity!
[09:45] ---
    What are you talking about?
[09:46] ---
    This is the first step
    towards the task you have.
[09:50] ---
    One day, the path to eternity
    will be opened from this school.
[09:59] ---
    Mr. Nemuro...
[10:00] ---
    Mamiya did the right thing.
[10:03] ---
    I, too, now wish to grasp
    eternity with my own hands...
[10:08] ---
    You finally came.
[10:10] ---
    I thought you would eventually return to me.
[10:18] ---
    Tokiko...
[10:20] ---
    You don't have to regret abandoning me.
[10:24] ---
    Mikage... You...?
[10:50] ---
    Mikage... You've been manipulating everyone?!
[10:54] ---
    Manipulating them? Hardly.
[10:57] ---
    These are all members of the Mikage Seminar.
[11:01] ---
    They all had memories they couldn't forget.
[11:06] ---
    Very, very precious memories.
[11:08] ---
    And they all fought to
    preserve those memories.
[11:12] ---
    In short, they were people...
[11:15] ---
    ...who tried to change their lives
    according to their memories.
[11:18] ---
    Memories...?
[11:22] ---
    And what about you?
[11:26] ---
    We'll meet again, won't we? My prince...
[11:29] ---
    We'll meet again...
[11:31] ---
    Until that day, I won't cry.
[11:35] ---
    No matter what happens, I'll be strong.
[11:46] ---
    Like me, you should be able to
    make your memories eternal.
[11:52] ---
    The world requires it.
[11:55] ---
    The path you must take has been prepar-
[11:58] ---
    You son of a bitch!
[12:01] ---
    Who exactly is "the world"?!
[12:03] ---
    Don't assume I'm a
    manipulative monster like you!
[12:08] ---
    No need to get excited.
[12:11] ---
    You seem to be screaming,
    "Don't touch my precious memories!"
[12:15] ---
    I'm what?! Don't pretend
    that you understand me!
[12:18] ---
    My memories are...!
[12:19] ---
    I see...
[12:20] ---
    Your memories are all that
    have supported you till now.
[12:24] ---
    Don't be ashamed of that.
[12:25] ---
    The memories you hold are worthy ones.
[12:30] ---
    Only those who hold beautiful
    memories are allowed to wish.
[12:34] ---
    To wish for that time to go on and on...
[12:37] ---
    To wish to never change from what you were.
[12:41] ---
    I, too, understand...
[12:43] ---
    You're just like me.
[12:46] ---
    You never stop wishing that
    your memories can be made eternal.
[12:50] ---
    You can see it in our eyes.
[12:58] ---
    Interview Room
[12:59] ---
    Interview Room I challenge you!
[13:00] ---
    Meet me in the Dueling Arena at sunset!
[13:03] ---
    I'll tear you apart!
[13:06] ---
    I'll prove that I'm nothing like you!
[13:10] ---
    IN USE
[13:30] ---
    Souji, why did you call her here?
[13:37] ---
    Why won't you speak?
[13:44] ---
    What's so funny?
[13:50] ---
    Here, look at this.
[13:52] ---
    Tears.
[13:53] ---
    Tears?
[13:55] ---
    It seems that pain has brought
    forth an unintended tear.
[13:59] ---
    If she hadn't seen my Rose Seal,
[14:02] ---
    she might have killed me
    right then and there.
[14:09] ---
    You seem to be enjoying this.
[14:11] ---
    Dammit... All she does is
    hurt me and surprise me.
[14:16] ---
    Tokiko really has come back to me.
[14:19] ---
    To settle things once and for all.
[14:22] ---
    You intend to accept her challenge?
[14:24] ---
    In the end, we haven't
    advanced a bit in all this time.
[14:28] ---
    But that girl is closer to the
    Power of Dios than either of us.
[14:31] ---
    If we don't beat her, we'll never advance.
[14:45] ---
    I take this rose which blooms
    at the End of the World...
[14:47] ---
    ...UNTO ME!
[14:59] ---
    You never stop wishing that
    your memories can be made eternal.
[15:04] ---
    You can see it in our eyes.
[15:10] ---
    Utena!
[15:16] ---
    Come on! Have you forgotten all about...
[15:18] ---
    ...your good ol' best friend, Wakaba?
[15:20] ---
    No, I haven't.
[15:21] ---
    No matter what happens,
[15:23] ---
    I'm always on your side, Utena!
[15:28] ---
    Extra! Extra! Extra!
[15:30] ---
    When I was your age,
    I was the representative for my class!
[15:34] ---
    Wow! That's great, Daddy!
[15:37] ---
    Hey! This paperwork's all wrong!
    What's with you?!
[15:41] ---
    Dammit... I used to be the class rep!
[15:44] ---
    Dear, you can't just throw
    your socks anywhere...
[15:47] ---
    ...when you take them off!
[15:48] ---
    Dammit... I used to be the class rep!
[15:52] ---
    Bye, Daddy! I'm off to school!
[15:55] ---
    Hold it! Gimme that backpack!
[15:57] ---
    I'M going to school!
[15:59] ---
    See ya later!
[16:16] ---
    Grant me the power to
    bring the world revolution!
[16:22] ---
    Darkness, burning.
[16:25] ---
    Puppets given life...
[16:28] ---
    The name given is human movement theory.
[16:28] ---
    Here we go.
[16:29] ---
    The name given is human movement theory.
[16:34] ---
    Well met...
[16:35] ---
    Well met...
[16:35] ---
    The world is controlled...
[16:37] ---
    However...!
[16:38] ---
    ...by a single being.
[16:40] ---
    I'm not in full form.
[16:41] ---
    I'm not in full form.
[16:41] ---
    The rest is imagined puppetry.
[16:42] ---
    The shoulder you injured still hurts.
[16:44] ---
    However... I don't intend to lose to you!
[16:47] ---
    However... I don't intend to lose to you!
[16:47] ---
    However... I don't intend to lose to you!
[16:47] ---
    Darkness, freezing.
[16:49] ---
    Get real!
[16:50] ---
    Like I'd lose to a manipulator like you!
[16:51] ---
    Creatures given life...
[16:53] ---
    You've got it all wrong.
[16:54] ---
    Linked by human movement theory.
[16:54] ---
    Linked by human movement theory.
[17:00] ---
    On nature's stage...
[17:04] ---
    ...are units on existence.
[17:05] ---
    Those who took my black roses all
    came to me of their own free will!
[17:07] ---
    Those who took my black roses all
    came to me of their own free will!
[17:07] ---
    Comprised of the imaginary art of life.
[17:10] ---
    And they all stood in this place
[17:13] ---
    All who stand here are like me!
[17:13] ---
    All who stand here are like me!
[17:13] ---
    Words are born, they meet,
[17:15] ---
    Words are born, they meet,
[17:15] ---
    They come to attain eternity!
[17:16] ---
    then hesitate.
[17:17] ---
    Shut up! Don't blame others for what you do!
[17:20] ---
    Ideas are born, they meet,
[17:22] ---
    then become empty.
[17:23] ---
    The minute I first saw you, I knew!
[17:26] ---
    You met someone important to you
    in the past as well, didn't you?!
[17:26] ---
    Oh, where am I and when am I?
[17:29] ---
    And that person changed your life, right?!
[17:33] ---
    Spells, charms, mysteries, prayers, me.
[17:34] ---
    You stand here because of that illusion!
[17:36] ---
    That's why you can enter the Dueling Arena!
[17:39] ---
    Am I wrong?!
[17:39] ---
    Stage, destiny, magic, mirror.
[17:41] ---
    In the end, you and I are the same!
[17:46] ---
    And now, in this place, you shall be beaten!
[17:49] ---
    Full moon. Mysterious...
[17:49] ---
    I will defeat you, Tokiko!
[17:52] ---
    You're not making sense!
[17:52] ---
    ...and ever-changing.
[17:54] ---
    I'm not losing to you!
[17:55] ---
    I am an imaginary life form at my end.
[17:56] ---
    You're a stubborn girl, Tokiko.
[17:59] ---
    Full moon. Mysterious...
[18:00] ---
    You won't understand unless
    I scatter that rose on your breast.
[18:01] ---
    You won't understand unless
    I scatter that rose on your breast.
[18:02] ---
    ...and ever-changing.
[18:05] ---
    I am an imaginary destined form at my end.
[18:09] ---
    Asking for time.
[18:11] ---
    I knew you'd jump!
[18:12] ---
    Damn!
[18:12] ---
    Never resting.
[18:15] ---
    Mistress Utena!
[18:15] ---
    Living on, a hollow form.
[18:17] ---
    Mistress Utena!
[18:18] ---
    Himemiya!
[18:20] ---
    HIMEMIYA!!!
[18:21] ---
    MISTRESS UTENA!
[18:21] ---
    Seeking land. No arms, no legs.
[18:23] ---
    Seeking land. No arms, no legs.
[18:25] ---
    Yet I still exist. Formless and transparent.
[18:27] ---
    Souji, you're going to lose.
[18:28] ---
    Souji, you're going to lose.
[18:28] ---
    I let out a faint sigh...
[18:30] ---
    Mamiya!
[18:31] ---
    She will scatter the rose you wear.
[18:33] ---
    What?! Where are you?! Mamiya!
[18:36] ---
    Mamiya!
[18:37] ---
    Mamiya!
[18:39] ---
    What the...?!
[18:41] ---
    Who's...?!
[18:45] ---
    You can't beat her.
[18:48] ---
    My sister who dwells in your memories...
    You'll never defeat her.
[18:57] ---
    Tokiko!
[19:00] ---
    Eternity is within my reach!
[19:03] ---
    I will defeat you and gain the
    power to change the world!
[19:07] ---
    With my own hands!
[19:09] ---
    Why won't you understand me?!
[19:11] ---
    I took everything upon myself!
[19:14] ---
    Even your brother's crime!
[19:20] ---
    Souji... Take a good look!
[19:23] ---
    Back then, in that place,
    who was really there?
[19:26] ---
    Who wasn't there?!
[19:28] ---
    Who was it that really set the fire?!
[19:36] ---
    Mamiya...
[19:38] ---
    It's been such a long time...
[19:40] ---
    It's been decades since I saw you...
[19:54] ---
    Ah, Mr. Nemuro.
[19:56] ---
    I was expecting this call.
[19:59] ---
    Yes. Your companion Mamiya,
[20:02] ---
    who was produced by your
    lingering regret over Tokiko,
[20:05] ---
    actually died a long time ago.
[20:11] ---
    You treasured that illusion of memory
    so much that it stopped time for you.
[20:16] ---
    I made use of that.
[20:21] ---
    The time you spent not growing up...
[20:22] ---
    ...as you kept possibilities hidden
    in your heart proved useful to me, but...
[20:27] ---
    ...that's all over now.
[20:29] ---
    The path you must take has
    not been prepared for you.
[20:34] ---
    Now graduate from this place.
[20:42] ---
    Aw, man.
[20:43] ---
    We ended up someplace weird
    while looking for Himemiya.
[20:47] ---
    There was a big fire here a long time ago.
[20:51] ---
    Wow... Something that terrible
    really happened here?
[20:54] ---
    No one was hurt in it, but...
[20:57] ---
    Well, it was a long time before
    the student council existed.
[20:59] ---
    No records remain from it.
[21:03] ---
    Now, what was the building called again...?
[21:06] ---
    Kushiro Memorial Hall...?
[21:08] ---
    I don't think that's right.
[21:09] ---
    Himemiya? Where are you?
[21:09] ---
    Noboribetsu Memorial Hall...?
[21:11] ---
    Ooh...! I hate it when
    I can't remember stuff!
[21:17] ---
    What's wrong?
[21:18] ---
    Do you feel sympathy for him?
[21:21] ---
    But he isn't here at this school anymore.
[21:24] ---
    Rather, he never really
    was in the first place.
[21:27] ---
    Just like you...
[21:42] ---
    Missing truth and forever,
    kissing love and true your heart.
[21:47] ---
    Hold me tight with your arms so true.

    Excuses are fitting for adults who...
    mukashi no hanashi ni sugaru

    ...just cling to old stories.

    Missing truth and forever,

[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.

    Tsuwabuki got run over by a runaway horse!
[23:01] ---
    Oh, my! How awful!
[23:03] ---
    Huh? What's this notebook?
[23:06] ---
    Whoa, hold it. You shouldn't just
    look in other people's notebooks.
[23:10] ---
    Oh, my goodness! Look at all
    the awful things written in here!
[23:13] ---
    Which is why you shouldn't be looking at it!
[23:15] ---
    Oh, my! I had no idea!
[23:17] ---
    Huh? Where? Where?
