[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
[01:32] ---
    Once upon a time, years and years ago...
[01:35] ---
    ...there was a little princess,
    and she was very sad...
[01:39] ---
    ...for her mother and father had died.
[01:43] ---
    Before the princess appeared a traveling prince...
[01:46] ---
    ...riding upon a white horse.
[01:48] ---
    He had a regal bearing and a kind smile.
[01:52] ---
    The prince wrapped the princess
    in a rose-scented embrace...
[01:56] ---
    ...and gently wiped the tears from her eyes.
[02:00] ---
    "Little one," he said, "who bears
    up alone in such deep sorrow."
[02:04] ---
    "Never lose that strength or nobility,
    even when you grow up."
[02:08] ---
    "I give you this to remember this day."
[02:10] ---
    "We'll meet again, won't we?"
[02:13] ---
    "This ring will lead you to me, one day."
[02:18] ---
    Perhaps the ring the prince gave
    her was an engagement ring.
[02:24] ---
    This was all well and good,
    but so impressed was she by him...
[02:29] ---
    ...that the princess vowed to
    become a prince herself one day.
[02:32] ---
    But was that really such a good idea?
[02:39] ---
    On the Night of the Ball
[02:58] ---
    All I have really is this ring.
[03:02] ---
    It's the only proof I have
    that I actually met him.
[03:05] ---
    The dueling arena. The Rose Bride.
[03:08] ---
    Could this ring have led me to all of this?
[03:14] ---
    Good morning, Mistress Utena.
[03:31] ---
    I'm done.
[03:39] ---
    Morning and night... Will we ever
    have any company at our meals?
[03:43] ---
    Isn't it nice how quiet it is?
[03:45] ---
    Listen...
[03:47] ---
    Yes?
[03:49] ---
    I know you keep to yourself in class,
[03:51] ---
    but do you really have no friends at all?
[03:54] ---
    I do. Right here.
[04:08] ---
    Well, I suppose he is, but...
[04:25] ---
    And another thing. Would you
    stop calling me "Mistress Utena"?
[04:29] ---
    I shouldn't?
[04:30] ---
    It's Mistress Utena!
[04:32] ---
    Good morning, Mistress Utena!
[04:35] ---
    Hi! Morning!
[04:36] ---
    Mistress Utena! Good morning!
[04:40] ---
    Morning! Morning!
[04:47] ---
    Okay, I know they call me Mistress Utena,
[04:51] ---
    but it's not a joke when you say it.
[04:54] ---
    But I'm engaged to you, Mistress Utena-
[04:58] ---
    Would you give it a rest with that
    "engaged" and "Rose Bride" stuff?!
[05:03] ---
    But...
[05:04] ---
    Look, despite appearances,
    I'm a totally normal girl.
[05:08] ---
    I don't want a bride.
[05:10] ---
    All I want is a totally normal boy!
[05:12] ---
    Well, glad to hear it.
[05:14] ---
    Hi there.
[05:16] ---
    I'm Touga Kiryuu, student council
    president and totally normal boy.
[05:20] ---
    Good morning!
[05:22] ---
    Know him?
[05:23] ---
    Well, after all...
[05:25] ---
    She is the Rose Bride, you know.
[05:29] ---
    Oh, I see.
[05:30] ---
    You're into that dueling game, too, huh?
[05:33] ---
    Have you told anyone about it?
[05:35] ---
    You think I'd tell anyone
    about something that crazy?
[05:38] ---
    Good.
[05:39] ---
    My, my... Even angry, your face
    has a wonderful nobility to it.
[05:43] ---
    Utena Tenjou...
[06:01] ---
    You're a bit too forward, Mr. President.
[06:03] ---
    Don't be like that. Let's be friends.
[06:07] ---
    It's not as though we don't share a bond.
[06:23] ---
    You...
[06:25] ---
    Why do you have that?
[06:28] ---
    So I could meet you, of course.
[06:44] ---
    Could it be...?
[06:51] ---
    I'd like to get to know you much better.
[07:02] ---
    Could he...? Could he be...?
[07:13] ---
    If it cannot break its egg's shell,
    a chick will die without being born.
[07:17] ---
    We are the chick.
[07:19] ---
    The world is our egg.
[07:21] ---
    If we don't crack the world's shell,
    we will die without being born.
[07:26] ---
    Smash the world's shell!
[07:30] ---
    For the revolution of the world!
[07:33] ---
    Yesterday, Saionji fought
    Utena Tenjou again... and lost.
[07:40] ---
    Saionji's been in his room since yesterday.
[07:43] ---
    I don't think he's coming to class today.
[07:46] ---
    Never mind about him.
    What about Utena Tenjou?
[07:49] ---
    Is she trying to bring revolution
    to the world, like we are?
[07:54] ---
    No, she's different from us.
[07:57] ---
    It looks as though she hasn't gotten
    a letter from End of the World.
[08:00] ---
    Then why is she wearing the Rose Seal?
[08:03] ---
    Well... Why indeed?
[08:22] ---
    UTENA!!!
[08:26] ---
    Utena! Utena! Utena, my love!
[08:32] ---
    Wakaba, that was sort of dangerous.
[08:35] ---
    Oh?
[08:38] ---
    Oh-ho! Spying on Touga, huh?
[08:41] ---
    Oh, now I get it.
[08:43] ---
    Oh, now you get WHAT?!
[08:46] ---
    You'd better forget about him, though.
[08:50] ---
    He's the academy's biggest playboy.
[08:52] ---
    There are rumors about all
    the hearts he's broken here.
[08:55] ---
    No way a playboy like that can
    be my prince on a white horse.
[09:04] ---
    By the way, who'd you get
    paired with in your dorm, Utena?
[09:07] ---
    Anthy Himemiya.
[09:09] ---
    Really?
[09:12] ---
    Too bad.
[09:14] ---
    Too bad?
[09:15] ---
    I hear lots of bad rumors about
    what she did to a popular boy.
[09:20] ---
    Rumors?
[09:24] ---
    It's all your fault!
[09:25] ---
    Saionji's ruined because you made a fool of him!
[09:29] ---
    Saionji won't come out of the Kendo room now!
[09:34] ---
    You creep!
[09:35] ---
    We want our old Saionji back!
[09:38] ---
    C'mon, say something!
[09:40] ---
    What are you doing?
[09:46] ---
    Mistress Nanami...!
[09:48] ---
    Now, what can be causing such an uproar?
[09:51] ---
    If you have any problems,
    go to the student council with them.
[09:55] ---
    Uh, well...
[09:56] ---
    I-It's not that!
[09:58] ---
    E-Excuse us!
[10:04] ---
    Are you okay?
[10:05] ---
    Yes, thank you.
[10:07] ---
    Your name's Nanami, right?
[10:10] ---
    I'm starting to see why you're so
    popular with the boys, Himemiya.
[10:16] ---
    You're even most popular with
    the boys in the freshman class.
[10:20] ---
    That's probably why you've been nominated...
[10:23] ---
    ...to be this year's dance queen.
[10:25] ---
    Dance queen?
[10:27] ---
    They're going to be choosing
    the school dance queen...
[10:30] ---
    ...at the dance party this weekend.
[10:32] ---
    You're one of the girls who's been nominated.
[10:36] ---
    You simply must come.
[10:39] ---
    The boys would be so happy.
[10:41] ---
    And I've wanted to be your friend
    for a long, long time, Himemiya.
[11:20] ---
    Oh, no! I fell for it!
[11:24] ---
    Now, look, Himemiya.
[11:26] ---
    Yes?
[11:28] ---
    Is it true that you have no friends?
[11:31] ---
    I do. Right here.
[11:36] ---
    Well, I suppose he is, but...
[11:43] ---
    I have a delivery for Miss Anthy
    Himemiya and Miss Utena Tenjou.
[11:51] ---
    As you've been nominated
    to be the dance queen...
[11:54] ---
    ...the committee would like
    you to wear this dress.
[12:00] ---
    The committee asks that you wear
    it to the dance this weekend...
[12:04] ---
    ...and they look forward to seeing you there.
[12:09] ---
    Wow...
[12:10] ---
    What about yours, Mistress Utena?
[12:12] ---
    And this package is for Miss Utena,
    from President Kiryuu.
[12:16] ---
    Huh? For me?
[12:18] ---
    But, I'm not involved with it.
[12:20] ---
    I didn't get an invitation.
[12:22] ---
    I believe there's an invitation
    and a message card in the box.
[12:26] ---
    Well, then, if you'll excuse me.
[12:33] ---
    Ugh! What IS this thing?
[12:36] ---
    Does he think I'd go to any party
    where I'd have to wear this?
[12:40] ---
    You're not going?
[12:41] ---
    Right. Not my style.
[12:44] ---
    Then neither will I.
[12:45] ---
    Huh? But why?
[12:46] ---
    Come on, you're nominated to
    be the dance queen, right?
[12:50] ---
    But I don't care for places with lots of people.
[12:56] ---
    Everyone's face begins to look
    the same, and l get scared.
[13:03] ---
    Okay, now it's Chu-Chu's turn.
[13:06] ---
    No! You should go!
    You HAVE to go!
[13:09] ---
    You need friends!
[13:13] ---
    Yeah, I know, but...
[13:15] ---
    You have to make a lot more!
[13:20] ---
    If you say so, Mistress Utena.
SIGN    See you on the night of the ball. Touga Kiryuu
[13:25] ---
    And what is that guy's problem?
[13:33] ---
    I wonder, I wonder,
    do you know what I wonder?
[13:36] ---
    Oh, dear lady, what do you know?
[13:40] ---
    The upcoming ball is the talk of the town.
[13:51] ---
    They may call it a ball,
[13:53] ---
    but it's much easier
    to just call it a man trap.
[13:56] ---
    It has all the girls in an uproar.
[14:05] ---
    How shameless can they be?
[14:35] ---
    Guess who.
[14:37] ---
    Cut it out, Nanami.
[14:39] ---
    Isn't it a lovely night,
[14:41] ---
    Big Brother?
[14:43] ---
    How did I get such an adoring little sister?
[14:46] ---
    Ladies and gentlemen,
    thank you for coming this evening.
[14:50] ---
    Not only are we here to enjoy the
    gift of this first night of spring,
[14:54] ---
    but this carefree dance party is also...
[14:58] ---
    ...a contest to determine a dance queen.
[15:01] ---
    I hope that all of you participate in it!
[15:11] ---
    No way!
[15:17] ---
    She looks great!
[15:18] ---
    Definitely!
[15:20] ---
    Mistress Utena's in girls' clothes?!
[15:22] ---
    She looks so cute!
[15:22] ---
    Mistress Utena!
    She looks so cute!
[15:23] ---
    Mistress Utena!
[15:24] ---
    She looks cool in her uniform,
    but she's perfect in a dress!
[15:27] ---
    Mistress Utena, you're beautiful!
[15:30] ---
    You like it?
[15:32] ---
    All you've talked about lately is Himemiya,
[15:35] ---
    so I invited her!
[15:40] ---
    Utena Tenjou...
[15:43] ---
    I knew I shouldn't have worn this thing!
[15:46] ---
    Forgive me, Mistress Utena.
[15:48] ---
    You're embarrassing yourself all for my sake...
[15:51] ---
    Embarrassing myself? ls it that bad?
[15:54] ---
    I'm so glad you made it here, Himemiya.
[15:58] ---
    Nanami...
[15:59] ---
    That dress is just PERFECT!
[16:01] ---
    It suits you so well.
[16:04] ---
    Thank you.
[16:05] ---
    Come along. Nominees have to go over here.
[16:09] ---
    But...
[16:12] ---
    Well, how about that?
    She has a friend after all!
[16:16] ---
    Okay, I know, but...
[16:19] ---
    Magnificent!
[16:26] ---
    Better than I imagined!
[16:30] ---
    Well, I dunno exactly what you were imagining,
[16:33] ---
    but this thing doesn't suit me at all!
[16:35] ---
    Don't be silly.
[16:36] ---
    You're the queen of this academy!
[16:39] ---
    It would be my pleasure if you
    danced with me in that dress.
[16:45] ---
    Don't you think we make
    a picture-perfect couple?
[17:07] ---
    Um, wait...
[17:28] ---
    She's wearing your special dress,
    isn't she, Mistress Nanami?
[17:32] ---
    It suits her so well.
[17:43] ---
    The girl who stole my brother from me...
[17:46] ---
    ...is about to be humiliated.
[18:09] ---
    Oh... Oh, my! l'm so sorry!
[18:13] ---
    No, I...
[18:15] ---
    Oh, dear, she got my special dress soaking wet.
[18:21] ---
    It's terrible what happens
    when you spill water on it.
[18:25] ---
    Shall we dance?
[18:27] ---
    Stop it, please.
[18:32] ---
    Look, I'm just not into these sorts of parties.
[18:36] ---
    Then why did you come?
[18:38] ---
    Well...
[18:39] ---
    Well?
[18:42] ---
    In case you were...
[18:45] ---
    What about me?
[19:01] ---
    Himemiya!
[19:06] ---
    Is Nanami behind this?
[19:09] ---
    What's she trying to do?
[19:11] ---
    And just when things were going my way...
[19:13] ---
    Himemiya!
[19:24] ---
    What's that?
[19:29] ---
    Mistress Utena...
[19:30] ---
    Let's dance, Himemiya.
[20:27] ---
    It was all going according to plan!
[20:29] ---
    Who is that girl, anyway?!
[20:30] ---
    Nanami.
[20:33] ---
    Show some restraint in your pranks.
[20:35] ---
    Oh, whatever could you mean?
[20:37] ---
    By the way, who's that
    girl dancing with Himemiya?
[20:40] ---
    Utena Tenjou.
[20:42] ---
    Utena Tenjou...?
[20:44] ---
    Yes. Isn't she exciting?
[20:46] ---
    Still, it's a shame she took
    off the dress I sent to her.
[20:51] ---
    Big Brother gave a dress to her?
[20:56] ---
    To THAT girl?!
[21:42] ---
    Missing truth and forever,
    kissing love and true your heart.
[21:47] ---
    Hold me tight with your arms so true.

[22:59] ---
    Miki Kaoru.
    Everyone calls him "Mickey."
[23:02] ---
    A handsome boy who plays piano
    and fences at the national level.
[23:05] ---
    Oh my...
[23:05] ---
    He's only a junior-high freshman, but he's a
    genius already studying the college curriculum.
[23:09] ---
    Impressive.
[23:10] ---
    He's in the student council,
    but he's only fought one duel.
[23:14] ---
    Still, I think he wants to fight
    one to win you, Himemiya.
[23:17] ---
    I wish him luck.
[23:19] ---
