SCRIPT (episode 25; version 1.0; 2/12/1999) OP:
Heroically, with bravery
OP: I'll go on with my life, OP: just a long, long time. OP: But if the two of us should get split up OP: by whatever means, OP: let go of me, OP: Take my revolution. Title: Utena ~ La Fillette Revolutionnaire OP: In the sunny garden, we held each other's hands, OP: drew close together and soothed each other with the words, OP: "Neither of us will ever fall in love again." OP: Everytime OP: Into this photograph of us OP: smiling cheek to cheek, OP: I took a bit of loneliness, OP: and crammed it inside. OP: Revolution! OP: Even in my dreams, even through my tears, OP: even though I'm being hurt, OP: reality is approaching now, frantically. OP: What I want now is to find out OP: just where I belong, OP: and my self-worth, up through today. OP: Heroically, I'll throw away OP: my clothes 'til I'm nude, OP: like the roses dancing all around me, whirling free. OP: But if the two of us should get split up OP: by whatever means, OP: I swear to you, I will change the world. Touga: You're driving quite fast. Akio: She's purring nicely, don't you think? Care to take the wheel? Touga: What? But I still don't... Akio: You're too strict... Touga: That was a rather indecent proposal, Mr. Chairman. Akio: My Ohtori Academy has a regard for students' independence, Mr. President. title: Our Eternal Apocalypse Akio: Yes? Wakaba: Umm, I'm a friend of Tenjou Utena, and... Akio: Ah, hold on a second. Akio: Please come in. Wakaba: Th- th- thanks. Anthy: Oh, welcome. Utena: Hey, Wakaba! Wakaba: Ta-dah! I came over to help you! Utena: Thanks! Wakaba: Wow, this is so cool! Wakaba: Much nicer than your old room in that haunted mansion. Utena: But it's a bit too large. Wakaba: Well, whatever you say, it's just beautiful. Wakaba: It's really like, "Hey, I'm super lucky!" you know! Utena: I think so. It is a nice room. Wakaba: I'm not talking about the room. Utena: Huh? Wakaba: How dreamy... Utena: What is? Wakaba: The chairman! The chairman! Wakaba: That smile, is that what they call an angel's smile? Wakaba: Living under the same roof with a man like that, Wakaba: ...and an exciting, romantic development coming along, I envy you! Utena: Look, Wakaba, Akio-san's already got a fiancee. Wakaba: He does? Utena: Yep. Wakaba: I wonder why all the good men in this world are already taken. Utena: There, there. Akio: What's already taken? Akio: Won't you have some tea? Wakaba: All right! Akio: Since we don't have any other family, I want to be near my sister, of course. Akio: But it's cruel to separate her from the friend she finally made, Akio: ...so I had to be so unreasonable to ask Utena-san to move in as well. Utena: What a considerate brother. Wakaba: I- I'm a good friend of Anthy-san too! Akio: Please continue to be her friend. Wakaba: Sure! Wakaba: Here, Himemiya-san, would you like another cup of tea? Anthy: Thank you. Utena: Come on... Wakaba: What, you got a problem? Utena: No, not really. Wakaba: What? I'm always like this, aren't I? Juri: Where had you been until you returned to school, Saionji? Saionji: That is of no concern. Saionji: At any rate, I'm not going to duel anymore. player: Lead lead lead... Nanami: How's that? Saionji: Because what the letters say cannot be trusted. umpire: Strike! Juri: Having been tricked by the counterfeit letter seems to have taught you a lesson... Miki: The contents of the letter have already been verified. player: All right! All right! Miki: Certainly, when I passed through the Rose Gate, umpire: Strike! Miki: ...at the center of the caracole to the Duel Arena, umpire: Strike! Miki: ...a gondola appeared. umpire: Strike! Batter out! Nanami: So, what about this gondola? Miki: I understand that it will advance us to a new stage. Saionji: It doesn't matter to me whether the text of the letter is true or false. Saionji: I have no recollection of becoming a subordinate of the Ends of the World. umpire: Out! Out! Game's over! Saionji: I flatly refuse to fight by someone's order. Nanami: Kyouichi! Saionji: Don't try to stop me. Nanami: Honestly. I'd refuse that, too. Miki: Well, even so... Juri: Who on earth is this Ends of the World? Akio: It's that star. It looked more vivid than usual today. Utena: Uh... Which one is it? Akio: See, right there. Utena: Oh? Akio: All right, look at the tip of my hand. Akio: That star conspicuously sparkling up there is Venus. Utena: Ah... Akio: The Morning Star... Akio: My name, Akio, was derived from the name of this star. Utena: Wow, that sounds kind of romantic. Akio: The Morning Star, Akio: ...also known as Lucifer. Utena: Lucifer? Akio: The star that was originally an angel, but chose to become the Devil. Akio: If you look up from this earth, it's always by the Sun. Akio: And unless the Sun sinks, it can never shine. Akio: And what do you suppose it thinks when it does shine? Utena: Himemiya... Anthy: I just heard that dinner is ready, Utena-sama. Utena: R- Really? I'm starving. Utena: Well then, Akio-san, if you'll excuse me... Utena: Akio-san is a nice person, isn't he? Anthy: Yes. Utena: But... Anthy: But? Utena: Whenever he's talking about stars, his eyes look lonely. Utena: Like someone who lost something important... Utena: Still, somehow he gives me the feeling that I've known him before. Anthy: There are times when I feel I've known you before too, Utena-sama. Utena: Me? Anthy: Yes. Utena: It's unusual for you to say something like that. Anthy: I'm sorry. Utena: No, I'm glad. Utena: Hey, if something ever troubles you, come talk to me about it first. Utena: No matter what, we'll help each other. Utena: That's the kind of friends I want us to be. Anthy: I understand. From now on, you and I will help each other to go on living. Anthy: Utena-sama... Anthy: Actually, I... Utena: What? Anthy: Nothing. Touga: Scrubbing the floor this late in the night? Touga: You remain as upright as ever. Touga: You'll be the champion of the local tournament this year again. Saionji: One of the reasons that I hate you is the way you're conceited now. Touga: Oh? Saionji: You are right. I will be the champion again this year. Saionji: But you think that that's meaningless child's play... and you're laughing in your heart. Touga: That's not true. Saionji: After all, in this world, battles are only won by the strong. Saionji: Even if you're conceited with your cheap tricks, don't forget that you lost to Tenjou Utena as well. Touga: As have you. Touga: Furthermore, I hear that someone I know said he's quitting the duels now. Touga: However, I have not yet given up. Touga: There's someone I want you to meet. Touga: Someone you want me to meet? Touga: You haven't really given up either, have you? Touga: Listen, can't you hear it? Saionji: Hear what? Touga: So long as your soul hasn't given up entirely, Touga: ...then you should be able to hear this sound, Touga: ...running about the ends of the world. Saionji: What nonsense... Saionji: What the... What is this?! Touga: Then come, journey with us, to the world which you desire! Saionji: So, you're the Trustee Board Chairman who's engaged to Ohtori's daughter. Touga: Yes, and Himemiya Anthy's older brother. Touga: Do you want the Rose Bride? Saionji: What do you mean? Touga: Exactly what I said. Touga: What do you want? What are you aiming for? What do you want to be? Saionji: What's the point in asking things like that? Saionji: First of all, I have no trust in the likes of you. Touga: Come on, aren't you my one and only friend? Saionji: There's no such thing as friendship in this world. Touga: Is that so? Saionji: That is so. Touga: I wonder... Touga: I wonder if you really believe that. Saionji: What are you getting at? Touga: Well then, why are you striving for that castle said to hold eternity? Touga: Isn't that because you believe that if you get there, you will find something eternal, Touga: ...for example, eternal friendship or something? Touga: Do you remember that girl who was in the coffin a long time ago? Saionji: Something like that happened, I suppose. Touga: There was a girl who was saying she wanted to see eternity, right? Saionji: I'm not sure. I barely remember it. Touga: The one who saved that girl from the coffin that night was Akio-san here. Saionji: What? Touga: She was saved because Akio-san showed her something eternal. Saionji: Say what?! Who the hell are you? Akio: She's purring nicely, don't you think? Saionji: What are you talking about? Akio: The ends of the world, I will show... to you. Saionji: You couldn't be... Utena: How should I know when I don't receive any letters from the Ends of the World? Miki: So you don't know, then. Utena: So, what were you saying about the stairway to the Duel Arena? Miki: You know how the stairway spirals around the central pillar? Utena: Yeah. Miki: There's something like a gondola inside the column. Utena: Gondola? Saionji: That's right. Saionji: That gondola is the set of wings that fly toward the ends of the world. Saionji: And it will carry me and the Rose Bride to the castle said to hold eternity. Utena: Saionji... Miki: You no longer duel, do you? Saionji: Unfortunately, I am not the same man I was yesterday. Miki: What are you saying is different about you? Saionji: Can't you see? Miki: No. Utena: I have no idea what you're talking about. Saionji: I see, so you don't know. Saionji: Not that you would understand even if I told you... Miki: What do you intend to do? Utena: Micky! Utena: Are you all right? Saionji: The Rose Bride belongs to me. Utena: Let go of Himemiya, Saionji! A-ko: I wonder, I wonder... Do you know what I wonder? B-ko: I hear there's going to be another duel out back in the forest today! A-ko: It's been quite a while since this phrase was last used. A-ko: Of course, it's better done by two people... B-ko: ...than by one! A-ko: Half the suffering, A-ko&B-ko: ...double the happiness! A-ko: Hey, wait! You used my shampoo without permission last night! B-ko: And you, you went and finished off the pudding I was eating. B-ko: ...though it was from two weeks ago. A-ko: Are you serious? B-ko: But now, brave warrior, A-ko: I wonder if you really know... B-ko: ...the difficulty in getting along together. A-ko: I wonder, I wonder... A-ko&B-ko: Do you know what I wonder? A-ko: Ugh... Here it comes.

Utena: If you really love Himemiya, try putting yourself in her shoes for once. Saionji: Indeed. Long ago I did think about the Rose Bride's feelings. Saionji: That's why I got so heated. But now I know. Saionji: The Rose Bride has no will of her own. Utena: Looks like you just won't get it unless I stomp you down, I guess. Utena: Himemiya, the sword! Saionji: I'm no longer the me who lost to you. Because I saw! Utena: You saw? Saionji: Yes! Utena: What are you saying you saw? Saionji: The world. Utena: It's vanished. Touga: The Sword of Dios vanished. Utena: Hey, if something ever troubles you, come talk to me about it first. Utena: No matter what, we'll help each other. Utena: That's the kind of friends I want us to be. Utena: ...want us to be. Anthy: Utena-sama... Saionji: I'VE GOT YOU! Saionji: What!? Utena: Himemiya... Anthy: Utena-sama, let's do this together. Utena: Wha...? Anthy: O Roses of noble sentiment, Anthy: ...I beseech thee, reveal... Saionji: What?! Utena&Anth: ...the power to revolutionize the world! Touga: That Saionji... and after I went to all this trouble to be his friend. Akio: Are you enjoying this game? Touga: Of course. Akio: Then, it's all right, isn't it? Akio: Be nice to your friend. Touga: You're an evil man, you are. Akio: The Sword of Dios didn't appear. Akio: The Sword of Dios didn't appear. Akio: But even so, she won the duel. Akio: Well, how perfectly wonderful...
