Lost... I lost?

Even though you fancied yourself to be a prince,

in the end you were just a girl.

Despite what you may have hoped for,

your hopes didn't become reality.

Well, this is a good chance for you to be a normal girl, isn't it?

Farewell, Miss Tenjou.

Miss Tenjou? Miss Utena Tenjou?

Miss Tenjou! Miss Utena Tenjou!

Looks like she's out today!

For Friendship, Perhaps

UTENA TENJOU

Utena?

You can come in.

So, why'd you skip class today?

Catch a cold?

Let's see... No fever.

No swelling of the tonsils.

Pulse is normal.

My diagnosis is the common goof-off.

By the way, where's Himemiya?

Well...

Did you have a fight?

Sort of...

So, what's the real reason you skipped class today?

It's nothing.

Oh, you just cut class for no reason?

Utena?

What's this?!

This is terrible!

Oh, that. I got a little careless.

Should I fix it for you?

No.

It's all right. I have another uniform.

Hey, look! Isn't that Miss Tenjou?

It looks really good on her.

I think I like her best this way.

The public really seems to like your new look.

Yeah...

And it looks like you like that uniform, too.

Yeah... It's normal.

From tomorrow on, I'll just wear this.

Good morning.

Good morning!

Good morning, Himemiya.

Good morning, Miss Tenjou.

Uh, what's...?

Have to be normal.

Have to be normal...

It WAS a fight, wasn't it?

Don't let it get to you!

Come on, don't be so gloomy! It isn't like you.

Hey! Utena, wait up!

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!

As you can see, the Rose Bride and I are engaged.

Any questions?

None.

How did you win?

You're saying you don't think that I won by pure skill?

You seem to prefer plots.

I played the part of the noble prince...

...and rescued the lonely princess. That's all.

A prince, huh?

The stories always end with the prince and princess together, right?

We haven't reached the last scene yet.

Exactly.

Excuse me.

If we're in the way, we can wait outside.

There's no need for you to wait outside.

I want you here.

Yes, sir.

You're my bride, after all.

I want you at my side always.

Okay, if you don't want to say anything...

...then you don't have to say anything.

But even you must see that something's wrong with you!

Just ignoring me isn't normal!

It's not like you!

You're really starting to make me mad!

If you don't tell me, I'll never speak to you again!

Pardon me. If you don't tell me, I'll never speak to you again!

Pardon me.

Well, I'd heard the rumors, but it's still a shock to see.

That uniform really suits you.

Say, would you like to eat out this Sunday?

Without the Bride, of course.

H-Hold it!

All right?

Come on, Utena!

Tell him to buzz off!

What's wrong? Why won't you answer me?

Don't touch her...

Don't touch my Utena!

If you don't like it, then tell him!

I-I'm sorry...

But it's your fault!

You were just standing there in a daze.

Utena's this way because you had a fight with her, right?!

That's right!

It's your faul-

Well, so you CAN still react to some things!

You have such lively friends.

Next time, the two of us should talk alone.

Himemiya!

Here.

Thank you very much, Miss Tenjou.

I want you to stop criticizing me.

Forget it! I won't stop!

You...!

You don't understand anything...

I DO understand!

And I won't... I won't stop!

Ah. I see.

What are you saying? Not at all!

I'm always thinking of you.

Yes, I've heard that.

No, I hadn't heard that.

Right. Right.

No, I'm not doing anything in particular right now.

Of course I mean that! I understand.

Oh, well. I'll head over there right now.

Sorry, Anthy.

Wait for me here, won't you?

Yes, sir.

Wakaba... Look, I-

Hold it right there!

You can't end this by just apologizing!

It was the student council president, wasn't it?

It's his fault you're feeling so down.

It's his fault, isn't it?

I understand...

No, the truth is I don't understand anything.

Like why are you wearing that uniform?

But this is normal, isn't it?

No, it isn't!

Not being normal is normal for you!

This sort of normal isn't YOUR sort of normal!

Oh, that makes no sense!

My sort of normal...

This sort of normal...

You're holding it in again!

I hate seeing what you've become!

It's like something was stolen from you and made you a coward!

I don't know what it is,

but if you can get it back then get it!

Take it back!

Take it back!

Take it back!

Normal for you means being cool!

And... And...!

That uniform just isn't right for you!

Forgive me, Wakaba.

It hurt, didn't it?

When I slapped you in the dining hall.

Sorry about that.

I understand now.

You're totally right.

This isn't normal for me.

I'm going to take back who I was.

Did you want to talk with me alone?

Then, shall we eat out on Sunday?

Right now...

Don't like to wait?

...I want to go to the dueling forest!

I wonder, I wonder, do you know what I wonder?

Study normal subjects, find a normal job.

Fall in love normally, get married normally.

Have a normal family, and have a normal life.

But being normal has nothing to do with us!

We're tired of doing all the things we've done till now.

Time for us to go back to being what's normal for us.

I wonder, I wonder, do you know what I wonder?

Use this.

You'll need it to properly set the last scene.

Why do you wish to duel with me again?

To take back something important to me.

I see.

You want to take back your "self."

But I don't feel like losing to you.

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 know you realize this isn't an ordinary sword.

But did you know it can be used like this?

Rose Bride!

Abandon your body and protect the sword!

Yes, sir.

Himemiya...

Himemiya...

Well? Isn't it beautiful?

This is the power of the Rose Bride of Dios!

Can you defeat this power?!

I will! I will defeat it!

Can you?! Then try!

She can't defeat Master Touga.

I pity her.

I wonder if it will end quickly.

Do you understand? This sword's power?!

Do you understand? This sword's power?! No one has anything to say.

This is the power hidden within the Rose Bride! No one has anything to say.

No one has anything to say.

You fancied yourself her prince without even knowing about it?! No one has anything to say.

You fancied yourself her prince without even knowing about it?! There's nothing to be said...

...about anything.

She could die. Why does she fight on? ...flash of light called now.

She could die. Why does she fight on? Except in the darkness,

Except in the darkness,

But what I'm doing now is taking back what I used to be! awaiting the light of tomorrow, in the theater.

Pathetic.

Pathetic. There's the possibility to be anyone.

There's the possibility to be anyone.

It's over, Miss Tenjou. There's the possibility to be anyone.

There's the possibility to be anything.

But I've seen this before. There's the possibility to be anything.

There's the possibility to be anything.

I know what this is. There's the possibility to be anything.

There's the possibility to be anything.

A flash and it's born, a flash and it fades.

Born and then gone, all of us.

A flash and it's born, a flash and it fades.

Himemiya... A flash and it's born, a flash and it fades.

A flash and it's born, a flash and it fades.

Born and then gone, I, the star.

I've been waiting for you, Mistress Utena. Born and then gone, I, the star.

Born and then gone, I, the star.

I am the Rose Bride.

I am the Rose Bride. The first star. I, the star.

The first star. I, the star.

From this day forward, I... The first star. I, the star.

The first star. I, the star.

Himemiya, never mind that. The first star. I, the star.

The first star. I, the star.

Come on, let's just go home. The first star. I, the star.

Come on, let's just go home.

Excuse me, Mistress Utena, but a lot has happened since we were engaged.

Except I don't really consider us to be engaged.

Still, it's true that you've fought seven duels for me so far.

Seven, huh?

Friendship, choice, reason, love, adoration, conviction, and self. Seven, huh?

Friendship, choice, reason, love, adoration, conviction, and self.
