Look! Look! It's so cool!

What's so cool?

Look!

It's Captain Juri and Mickey!

It really is cool!

Isn't it?!

It's too cool!

Well, what do you expect?

They both fence at the national level.

Wow!

I believe it!

Oh, by the way...

You finally beat me.

You've gotten better.

No, I haven't perfected it.

I still haven't perfected it.

No, your lack of perfection is your strength.

The strength of purity.

Your sword usually carries a very meek strength.

That strength seemed to increase one level today.

Could the reason be the girl whose exam you were correcting?

Wha-

W-What do you mean?

However! Your sword is not for battle.

The Sunlit Garden - Finale

Here.

Thank you.

This is just like that other garden...

Darn it, Chu-Chu! Wait up!

Um, am I interrupting anything?

It's... It's the feeling I've been looking for.

This?

This is the song she played last night, isn't it?

Yes...

"The Sunlit Garden."

My sister and I wrote it when we were little.

You wrote it?

But it's a famous song.

For as long as I can remember, my twin sister and I...

...would play with the piano as our toy.

In the garden...

We would play the piano, and adults all around us were amazed.

Wow...

So you were sibling prodigies.

When I think back, all my happiness lay in that garden.

But then...

But then...?

But then I destroyed it.

I destroyed it with my own hands!

A concert...?

Yeah! Next Thursday!

Everyone will be coming to see us!

But, I...

Going out in front of all those strangers...

I'd be scared to be in front of all those strangers...

Don't worry!

Don't worry, I'll be right there with you.

I'll be there next to you, playing the piano like we always do.

There's nothing to be scared of!

It's the measles.

But, with a week of bed rest, he should recover.

Come on, you have to get to the concert hall.

Everyone's waiting!

You'll just have to do it without your brother.

Big Brother! Big Brother!

Big Brother! Big Brother!

Big Brother! Big Brother!

She got up and ran off the stage.

And then she hid somewhere until the sun rose.

And after all that, she still won't tell me why.

My sister never played the piano again after that.

It was only then I realized how much I loved my sister's playing.

How much I loved that garden...

And no matter how much I tried to polish my technique...

...I could never match the feeling of my sister's playing.

I only continued to play the piano to get that feeling again.

But, with her...

It's there in Himemiya's piano.

You must be hearing something I'm not.

I've finally found the "shining thing" I've been searching for!

Are you saying you're in love with her?

Whatcha gonna do, Himemiya?

Hm?

About the younger man in your life?

I'm your bride, Mistress Utena.

Look, Himemiya, I told you...

...to stop it with the "Mistress Utena" and "Bride" stuff.

But, I'm engaged to you, Mistress Utena.

Now look!

I don't accept this stuff about you being my bride!

It's ridiculous to make a girl someone's bride because of a duel!

I can't forgive a system...

...that deprives someone of their personal freedom!

If it cannot break its egg's shell, a chick will die without being born.

We are the chick.

The world is our egg.

If we don't crack the world's shell, we will die without being born.

Smash the world's shell!

For the revolution of the world!

What brings us together today?

We haven't received any letters from End of the World.

True. We gather when the letters tell us to gather...

...and then act as the letters tell us to act.

But today an urgent motion has been proposed.

An urgent motion... I propose the following,

The dissolution of the student council!

This is sudden.

These duels to possess Himemiya are ridiculous!

I can't just stand by and allow them to continue!

No matter how great this power is we're supposed to get,

I can't follow a system...

...that robs Anthy Himemiya of her personal freedom!

Love certainly changes a person.

I see.

So, that was her exam paper you were correcting...

Youth can sometimes keep you from seeing what you truly seek.

In the end, isn't what we're doing...

...only going to smash something important to people?

Smash the world's shell.

For the revolution of the world.

Oh...

You're being rude.

Get out of my way.

You dropped your music book.

So, want to try and get me to play again?

I don't have any more hope for you.

What are you doing here if you don't plan to play?

Nothing. I'm free to come here.

The music room isn't just for playing the piano.

Morning. How are you?

Morning. Just fine.

Good morning, Miki Kaoru.

Your sister is as cute as you are.

And as open.

Good morning.

Unless you defend the precious things you possess...

...people will take them away from you, Mickey.

Even if the student council were dissolved now,

someone who wanted the Rose Bride then couldn't have her.

Only the one she is engaged to can make the Bride do what they want.

Do what they want...

Do what they want...

Tell me, when did you learn to play the piano?

I'm not sure.

I was so young that I don't really remember.

I see...

You were probably as cute as an angel when you were little.

My sister's playing was so wonderful...

I won't lose it again!

I won't!

You like the piano?

Yes.

Would you play for me again?

If Mistress Utena said I could.

How about tomorrow?

If Mistress Utena says I can.

You have to get her permission for everything?

Well, I am the Rose Bride.

So, if she told you to stop playing the piano, would you?

Of course.

I must do whatever the person I'm engaged to wants.

Only the one she is engaged to can make the Bride do what they want.

Unless you defend the precious things you possess...

...people will take them away from you, Mickey.

Someone who wanted the Rose Bride then couldn't have her.

Don't worry!

I will protect the feeling of your song!

Thanks so much.

So, when's your make-up test?

Next week, but with the great tutor I've had, I should do fine.

Oh? Who's been tutoring you?

It's Mickey!

It's really him!

Why's he here? What's he want? It's really him!

Why's he here? What's he want?

Why's he here? What's he want? Oh, isn't he adorable?

Oh, isn't he adorable?

Oh, he's stopped.

Hey!

If you're looking for Himemiya, she's in the greenhouse.

No, I've come to see you today, Miss Tenjou.

I can do it now.

Linear equations and simultaneous equations.

Wait, you mean your tutor was...?!

Yep.

I'll be waiting for you in the arena after class today.

I'll be waiting.

Argh! To the open seas, matey!

Today I set sail upon the seven seas with my hundreds of men!

I am a pirate!

The precious treasures of the world belong to me!

I wonder, I wonder, but Captain I wonder?

With all your treasure, I wonder why you don't have the thing you really want?

The thing I really want?

But isn't that why you won't give up being a pirate captain?

The thing I really want...

The thing you really, REALLY want, Captain...

The thing I really want is-

Uh, Captain? We've sprung a leak.

So, this is what it all comes down to, Mickey.

I have to get that music back.

And, for that, I need the Bride, no matter what!

I think being seated at the piano suited you much more.

I quite agree.

Rose of the noble castle.

Power of Dios that sleeps within me.

Heed your master and come forth!

Grant me the power to bring the world revolution!

I'll make the Rose Bride mine.

Even if... Even if it means hurting you!

I take it you're satisfied now?

Why can't I find someone to be my "shining thing"?

Someone...

Well done.

Let's study together again, sometime.

Come on, you really used to play the piano?

Even I'm better than that.

Well, I never had any talent.

I never even liked it that much.

Then why did you play?

A long time ago, a boy who lived next door wrote me a love letter.

It said "I love your piano playing."

But he misunderstood about my piano playing.

You see, I always just played together with my brother.

When I was little, everyone just assumed I played well.

It's because my brother's a genius. Even with my sloppy playing...

...he could still follow it.

But when they announced that we were giving a concert,

my brother got sick and I had to go on alone.

Since I couldn't do it on my own, I just fell apart on stage.

Your brother's really cool.

I suppose.

But what happened after-

Miss Tenjou.

Mickey...

I was careless yesterday.

But, next time, I won't lose!

Oh, boy...

Lately, it looks like someone's trying to kill Nanami!

Oh, how awful!

Don't just say "how awful"!

Since all the accidents involve animals, you're the suspect!

But, Mistress Utena, she seems to enjoy running and playing with them.

She's not playing! She's RUNNING from them!

Oh, how awful!

Next time, on Revolutionary Girl Utena,

"Take Care, Mistress Nanami!"

Take Care, Mistress Nanami! "Take Care, Mistress Nanami!"
