Once upon a time, years and years ago...

...there was a little princess, and she was very sad...

...for her mother and father had died.

Before the princess appeared a traveling prince...

...riding upon a white horse.

He had a regal bearing and a kind smile.

The prince wrapped the princess in a rose-scented embrace...

...and gently wiped the tears from her eyes.

"Little one," he said, "who bears up alone in such deep sorrow."

"Never lose that strength or nobility, even when you grow up."

"I give you this to remember this day."

"We'll meet again, won't we?"

"This ring will lead you to me, one day."

Perhaps the ring the prince gave her was an engagement ring.

This was all well and good, but so impressed was she by him...

...that the princess vowed to become a prince herself one day.

But was that really such a good idea?

Tracing a Path

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

That meddlesome hero has... yet again... won another duel!

Might makes right!

Losers are smelly old fish!

And the winner walked away, looking like a lily!

But, but, brave hero!

You may be called back to the path of battle once more.

I wonder, I wonder, do you know that I wonder?

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

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

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

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

If we don't crack the world's shell...

You still haven't awakened?

Is the egg's shell still unbroken?

Even the student council president failed.

That was her seventh trial so far.

She even managed to win the duel named "self."

Did seeing her defend the Rose Bride, even while wounded...

...make you remember something familiar?

Even the heart of the Rose Bride was moved a bit, wasn't it?

I suppose seeing that has let you begin to have hope for her.

No, that's not right.

That was in the first duel, "friendship."

Since that day she accidentally fought the Kendo team captain...

...you've had hope for her.

You're the Kendo team captain, aren't you?

When? Where? Who? Which?

I want a duel with you today after school! When? Where? Who? Which?

Man, this has been one truly weird day.

What was all that about?

Better to just forget about it.

You...

I've been waiting for you, Mistress Utena.

I am the Rose Bride.

From this day forward, I am your flower.

As you had hoped,

she became engaged to the Rose Bride...

...and began to walk the path of the Duelist.

And then came the second trial.

The duel named "choice."

It's a rose seal.

Whomever wears that ring is marked as a Duelist.

So, now that you're the current dueling champion,

the others who wear the rose seal...

...will come to challenge you to duels.

You've gotta be kidding!

I've no intention of fighting these meaningless duels!
