[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
[01:37] ---
    So, this is what it all comes down to, Mickey.
[01:40] ---
    Yes. I have to get that music back.
[01:44] ---
    And, for that, I need the Bride, no matter what!
[01:49] ---
    I think being seated at the
    piano suited you much more.
[01:53] ---
    I quite agree.
[01:57] ---
    I'll make the Rose Bride mine.
[02:01] ---
    Even if... Even if it means hurting you!
[02:38] ---
    Your piano playing is wonderful, Mickey.
[02:41] ---
    The pride of the school.
[02:43] ---
    Thanks to your performance,
    that party the other day...
[02:46] ---
    ...turned out so wonderfully.
[02:48] ---
    But why did you drop out of the competition?
[02:51] ---
    The teachers were so disappointed.
[02:59] ---
    This piano's a little off key.
[03:02] ---
    Really? It was just tuned recently.
[03:10] ---
    Then maybe I'm the one who needs tuning.
[03:20] ---
    You always play this song when you're alone.
[03:23] ---
    The truth is, this is the
    only song for the piano...
[03:26] ---
    ...that means anything to me.
[03:27] ---
    Because, if I keep playing,
    I hope that she will hear it.
[03:33] ---
    "She"?
[03:34] ---
    But I can't get the song to be what I want yet.
[03:39] ---
    No matter what I do, I can't
    find the right note to follow.
[03:41] ---
    Oh, no! It sounds fine to me!
[03:44] ---
    It tells me exactly what your feelings are.
[03:49] ---
    It's a song about how I can't express...
[03:52] ---
    ...the eternal beauty I feel inside.
[03:56] ---
    And what's the song's name?
[03:58] ---
    "The Sunlit Garden."
[04:00] ---
    The Sunlit Garden - Prelude
[04:13] ---
    Great! This is the worst
    score I've ever gotten!
[04:17] ---
    Really... Sucks to be you.
[04:19] ---
    I just wish I could get mostly 99's in math.
[04:24] ---
    You just have to cultivate
    a sense of logic for that.
[04:27] ---
    But my mother always told me something...
[04:29] ---
    "A real woman can force
    her logic onto any man."
[04:33] ---
    Oh, really.
[04:35] ---
    I wish I could be as good at math as you.
[04:40] ---
    No way...
[04:41] ---
    You don't usually do that bad at it.
[04:45] ---
    I got a little lazy.
[04:46] ---
    Shame on you. You should
    cultivate a sense of logic.
[04:50] ---
    Hey...
[04:51] ---
    Anyway, I'll have to take a
    make-up exam with this score.
[04:55] ---
    Sucks to be you.
[05:12] ---
    We all know how much Mickey loves you!
[05:15] ---
    We all heard! It's your fault...
[05:17] ---
    ...our Mickey dropped out of
    the competition, isn't it?!
[05:20] ---
    I... I don't know what you mean.
[05:23] ---
    Liar! You said something to him
    and he lost his self-confidence!
[05:27] ---
    Yeah!
[05:28] ---
    I... I never said anything like that!
[05:37] ---
    You there! What are you doing?!
[05:44] ---
    Looks like you got caught in
    a misunderstanding about me.
[05:50] ---
    I'm really sorry about what happened.
[05:53] ---
    Thank you.
[05:56] ---
    It's nothing...
[06:04] ---
    Hm?
[06:06] ---
    What?
[06:07] ---
    Who's that boy with Himemiya?
[06:10] ---
    Oh, that's Mickey!
[06:12] ---
    "Mickey"?
[06:14] ---
    Don't you know about him?
    Miki Kaoru, a freshman.
[06:18] ---
    The handsome boy who fences and
    plays piano at the national level.
[06:22] ---
    He's a total genius who's
    studying the college curriculum...
[06:25] ---
    ...even though he's a middle school freshman.
[06:26] ---
    Wow...
[06:28] ---
    He's really popular, even with the older girls.
[06:31] ---
    Mitsuko and the others are just in love with him.
[06:35] ---
    But...
[06:37] ---
    What would he be doing with Anthy Himemiya?
[06:55] ---
    Hi.
[06:56] ---
    Miss Juri.
[06:58] ---
    You weren't in your dorm or at the council,
[07:01] ---
    so I figured you'd be
    here at the library studying.
[07:04] ---
    Correcting somebody's test paper?
[07:06] ---
    Yeah, sort of.
[07:07] ---
    Hmm...
[07:09] ---
    Unusual for a boy like you,
    who never gets close to others.
[07:13] ---
    Miss Juri...
[07:15] ---
    Happiness can sometimes be
    surprisingly close by, can't it?
[07:20] ---
    Hm?
[07:22] ---
    Anyway, that's quite a test you've got there.
[07:25] ---
    Whose is it?
[07:29] ---
    I basically corrected it.
[07:32] ---
    That teacher always gives
    tricky problems like this.
[07:36] ---
    Just pay attention from now on.
[07:39] ---
    Lucky stiff, getting someone to correct her work.
[07:43] ---
    Maybe I should get a logical boyfriend, too...
[07:46] ---
    Miss Tenjou.
[07:48] ---
    I'm Miki Kaoru. It's a pleasure to meet you.
[07:51] ---
    You know who I am?
[07:53] ---
    Of course.
[07:54] ---
    You're all we ever seem to talk about lately.
[07:58] ---
    "We" as in who?
[07:59] ---
    As in this.
[08:02] ---
    You're one of them?
[08:03] ---
    One of the student council?
[08:06] ---
    I suppose you're after the Rose Bride, too.
[08:09] ---
    No! Please, don't get me wrong.
[08:11] ---
    I may be a member of the council,
[08:13] ---
    but I don't want to fight a duel
    to make Miss Himemiya my bride.
[08:16] ---
    I swear it!
[08:18] ---
    Here's a few problems I think
    will be on the make-up exam.
[08:21] ---
    If you just memorize the
    formulas in this notebook...
[08:24] ---
    ...you should clear it all without any trouble.
[08:26] ---
    Thank you.
[08:29] ---
    It's nothing...
[08:33] ---
    Looks to me like you think about her a lot.
[08:39] ---
    She... Miss Himemiya reminds
    me a bit of a girl l know.
[08:46] ---
    That's all!
[08:48] ---
    I'm not going to fight a duel with you!
[08:52] ---
    Of course not!
[08:53] ---
    Do you guys in the student council...
[08:55] ---
    ...know how much trouble you've been to us?!
[08:58] ---
    I don't know why, but we're both caught up...
[09:00] ---
    ...in your stupid dueling or whatever you call it.
[09:03] ---
    And because of that we have to
    take these make-up exams now!
[09:07] ---
    "We"?
[09:09] ---
    You're taking a make-up exam, too?
[09:13] ---
    Um... Well... Actually, yes.
[09:55] ---
    You're playing well today.
[09:57] ---
    Your technique's intensity isn't
    as overpowering as it tends to be.
[10:00] ---
    There's a richness to the sound.
[10:03] ---
    Could you have found that "shining
    thing" you told me about once?
[10:06] ---
    Yes. I may just have.
[10:08] ---
    I may finally be regaining
    what l lost so long ago...
[10:46] ---
    I envy you.
[10:48] ---
    If you do regain that "shining thing"...
[10:51] ---
    ...be sure you tell me what it is.
[10:56] ---
    "Shining thing"? What nonsense...
[11:03] ---
    I wonder, I wonder,
    do you know what I wonder?
[11:05] ---
    The one who first fell in love
    with me in elementary school...
[11:07] ---
    ...was the boy who was best in math.
[11:10] ---
    Oh? That's news to me.
[11:10] ---
    Oh? That's news to me.
[11:11] ---
    Was he here back then, too?
[11:13] ---
    But, when he found out I liked pro wrestling...
[11:16] ---
    ...and big bowls of garlic ramen, well...
[11:20] ---
    "Now I know what kind of girl you are..."
[11:22] ---
    ...is what he said and then he left me!
[11:25] ---
    Oh, dear lover.
[11:27] ---
    Oh, young man who dreams of love!
[11:29] ---
    The truth behind the girl...
[11:31] ---
    Do you know it I wonder?
[11:33] ---
    I wonder, I wonder,
    do you know it I wonder?
[11:40] ---
    Coming!
[11:45] ---
    Sorry I'm late.
[11:47] ---
    No problem, I've been waiting. Come in.
[11:49] ---
    Well, you see...
[11:53] ---
    Mind if I tag along?
[11:55] ---
    Wait, aren't you...?
[11:58] ---
    I'm Nanami!
[11:59] ---
    Your girlfriend, Miki?
[12:00] ---
    N-No way!
[12:03] ---
    Well, come on in.
[12:05] ---
    Himemiya's waiting inside.
[12:06] ---
    Glad to come!
[12:09] ---
    Very glad to come!
[12:19] ---
    Wow, I heard this was
    some sort of haunted house,
[12:22] ---
    but it's really clean inside.
[12:24] ---
    What a lovely room.
[12:26] ---
    Yeah. That's because Himemiya
    works to keep it clean every day.
[12:30] ---
    You like to keep things neat,
    huh, Miss Himemiya?
[12:32] ---
    Wow! I'm just so impressed!
[12:35] ---
    Hmpf! Now to show him she isn't
    the sweet girl he thinks she is!
[12:40] ---
    You're in luck, Miss Tenjou, getting
    to live with such a feminine girl.
[12:43] ---
    Was that a jab?
[12:45] ---
    Miss Himemiya?
    May I borrow an eraser?
[12:50] ---
    A snail! There's a snail in there!
[12:54] ---
    That girl keeps a snail in her pencil box!
[12:57] ---
    Himemiya! I've misjudged you!
[12:59] ---
    I'm so disillusioned!
[13:04] ---
    The jig is up, Anthy Himemiya!
[13:07] ---
    That's what will happen!
[13:09] ---
    I call it,
[13:10] ---
    "Operation: Oh! Anthy Himemiya is a weirdo..."
[13:12] ---
    "...who keeps a snail in her pencil box!"
[13:14] ---
    Did you say something?
[13:16] ---
    No, nothing.
[13:17] ---
    Then let's start with the simple problems.
[13:20] ---
    Don't worry.
[13:21] ---
    If you remember how to do them,
    it's like solving a puzzle.
[13:24] ---
    Miss Himemiya?
    May I borrow an eraser?
[13:28] ---
    Anthy Himemiya...
[13:30] ---
    Prepare yourself!
[13:42] ---
    S-S-S-S-Snails!
    There are snails in there!
[13:46] ---
    Oh, that's my snails' home.
[13:49] ---
    I told you to not to keep them in there.
[13:52] ---
    I think it's cute!
[13:54] ---
    It's just like Miss Himemiya to do that.
[13:56] ---
    B-B-But they're snails!
    What's cute about snails?!
[13:59] ---
    Catherine, Juliet, Marcelina, I'll see you later.
[14:06] ---
    I see it, Miss Tenjou.
[14:08] ---
    Here's where you got caught.
[14:09] ---
    Oh, where?
[14:11] ---
    Well, in this case, you leave me no choice.
[14:12] ---
    Well, in this case, you leave me no choice.
[14:17] ---
    My, what an adorable desk!
[14:19] ---
    I wish I had one like it!
[14:25] ---
    A garter snake!
    There's a garter snake in there!
[14:29] ---
    That girl keeps a garter
    snake in her desk drawer!
[14:32] ---
    Himemiya! I've misjudged you!
[14:33] ---
    I'm so disillusioned!
[14:38] ---
    The jig is up, Anthy Himemiya!
[14:41] ---
    That's what will happen!
[14:43] ---
    I call it,
[14:44] ---
    "Operation: Oh! Anthy Himemiya is a weirdo..."
[14:46] ---
    "...who keeps a garter snake in her desk drawer."
[14:49] ---
    Did you say something?
[14:51] ---
    No, nothing.
[14:52] ---
    For triangle ACP, line BX
    is parallel to line CP, so...
[14:58] ---
    My, what an adorable desk!
[15:01] ---
    I wish I had one like it!
[15:13] ---
    My garter snake...
[15:14] ---
    The one I spent all night trying to catch...
[15:19] ---
    Oh, that's where Mr. Mongoose lives.
[15:22] ---
    I told you not to keep him in there.
[15:25] ---
    I think it's cute!
[15:27] ---
    It's just like Miss Himemiya to do that.
[15:29] ---
    She has a mongoose!
[15:31] ---
    Don't either of you think that's weird?!
[15:33] ---
    We're studying now,
    so I'll have to see you later.
[15:36] ---
    Did you like eating that mean old snake?
[15:41] ---
    Hmm... So what do I do here?
[15:43] ---
    Oh, you do this.
[15:45] ---
    Oh...
[15:47] ---
    All right,
[15:48] ---
    if that's how you're going to play it...
[15:49] ---
    I didn't want to use this,
[15:51] ---
    but you leave me no choice!
[16:00] ---
    An octopus! There's an octopus in there!
[16:05] ---
    That girl keeps an octopus in her closet!
[16:08] ---
    Himemiya! I've misjudged you!
[16:10] ---
    I'm so disillusioned!
[16:14] ---
    The jig is really up this time,
    Anthy Himemiya!
[16:18] ---
    That's GOTTA be what will happen!
[16:21] ---
    I call it,
[16:22] ---
    "Operation: Anthy Himemiya is a total weirdo..."
[16:25] ---
    "...who keeps a live octopus in her closet!"
[16:27] ---
    Did you say something?
[16:29] ---
    No, nothing at all.
[16:35] ---
    This time, with this octopus...
[16:38] ---
    ...I'll beat you for sure!
[16:40] ---
    Anthy Himemiya!
[16:42] ---
    I'll beat you!
[16:44] ---
    With this octopus!
[16:49] ---
    Now!
[16:58] ---
    Octopus! Octopus!
    Octopus! Octopus! Octopus!
[17:01] ---
    It's dangerous to just go and open that closet up.
[17:04] ---
    This can't be real!
[17:05] ---
    This all has to be some terrible dream!
[17:08] ---
    How can this huge octopus be here?
[17:10] ---
    All these octopus tentacles...!
[17:11] ---
    That's the ad balloon they had
    for last year's school festival.
[17:12] ---
    That's the ad balloon they had
    for last year's school festival.
[17:15] ---
    I felt so sorry for it after it was thrown away...
[17:18] ---
    ...that I brought it back here.
[17:20] ---
    Didn't you say you were sick of
    it and it should be thrown away?
[17:23] ---
    I think it's cute!
[17:25] ---
    It's just like Miss Himemiya to do that.
[17:33] ---
    So, now x = 3.
[17:35] ---
    Now you substitute it in and find the other value.
[17:39] ---
    Oh, now I see! 3 + y is... Hmm...
[17:43] ---
    And that means... All done! How's this look?
[17:50] ---
    You got it.
[17:51] ---
    Now I see!
[17:52] ---
    Way to go, genius!
    You make class easy to understand!
[17:54] ---
    Oh, it's nothing.
[18:02] ---
    Come on, be serious.
[18:03] ---
    The exam's next week.
[18:06] ---
    Yes, Mistress Utena...
[18:14] ---
    Wow, it's that late already?
[18:16] ---
    Hey, Miki!
[18:17] ---
    Yes? Hey, Miki!
[18:17] ---
    Yes?
[18:17] ---
    Yes? Want to get a little snack?
[18:18] ---
    Want to get a little snack?
[18:19] ---
    How about you, Nanami?
[18:24] ---
    Nanami?
[18:26] ---
    Oh, yes. A snack. Right.
[18:28] ---
    Actually, I made a lunch box for us.
[18:32] ---
    I hope you all like it.
[18:39] ---
    Another animal.
[18:41] ---
    I suppose this is Miss Himemiya's friend, too...
[18:43] ---
    Chu-Chu! Shame on you for doing that!
[18:49] ---
    These animals...!
[18:51] ---
    I'm sorry! I'll make something for us instead!
[18:52] ---
    I'm sorry! I'll make something for us instead!
[18:58] ---
    It's really good when you mix
    the lemon with the strawberry.
[19:01] ---
    Oh, really...
[19:02] ---
    She's right! This is great!
[19:04] ---
    This is my specialty.
[19:06] ---
    You don't say.
    You'll have to give me the recipe.
[19:09] ---
    Can I get a little more syrup on mine?
[19:11] ---
    Nanami? You'd better eat it before it melts.
[19:15] ---
    You've got to be kidding...
[19:17] ---
    You should be more polite to an upperclassman.
[19:19] ---
    Snails in her pencil box...
    A mongoose in her desk drawer...
[19:22] ---
    A giant octopus balloon in her closet...!
[19:28] ---
    And now shaved ice for dinner?!
[19:30] ---
    You're making me sick!
[19:32] ---
    I have a very delicate stomach!
[19:34] ---
    I like shaved ice.
[19:36] ---
    Too bad you've got such a weak stomach.
[19:39] ---
    This isn't about the ice or my stomach!
[19:42] ---
    Why does everyone like her so much?!
[19:45] ---
    Didn't you say you wanted
    to be Miss Himemiya's friend?
[19:50] ---
    Whatever do you mean?
[19:51] ---
    You're in love with her, aren't you, Miki?!
[19:53] ---
    Admit it!
[19:55] ---
    Well...
[19:56] ---
    Huh? Himemiya's gone!
[19:59] ---
    You're right!
[20:00] ---
    She probably doesn't take well
    to study groups like this.
[20:10] ---
    Maybe I should have made some
    takoyaki for dinner instead...
[20:16] ---
    I'm gonna go look for her.
[20:18] ---
    I'll go with you.
[20:25] ---
    A piano...
[20:28] ---
    That's the song you always play.
[20:58] ---
    Wow. I didn't know she could play the piano.
[21:07] ---
    The same tone as my little sister's ...
[21:10] ---
    That sunlit garden...
[21:25] ---
    I've found it. My "shining thing."
[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

    Next Episode
[22:59] ---
    Himemiya! You have to play the piano for Mickey!
[23:02] ---
    He seems to think your playing
    has a special feeling in it.
[23:05] ---
    If you say so, Mistress Utena.
[23:07] ---
    No, don't do it because I say so.
[23:08] ---
    Do it for Mickey's sake.
[23:10] ---
    I am the Rose Bride.
[23:11] ---
    I must do the will of whomever I am engaged to.
[23:13] ---
    Mickey, wake up! This isn't the
    way to get her to play for you!
[23:19] ---
    Next time, on Revolutionary Girl Utena,
[23:20] ---
    The Sunlit Garden - Finale
