The Thorns of Death

Next!

Wow! The captain's incredible!

Her movement when she goes for a touché is amazing!

Next!

Look at her moves... Her fencing's reached a new level.

Juri's gotten even better.

Next!

You're wide open!

That's not like you!

Right. Sorry...

All right? I'm letting it down now.

All right!

Here!

Thank you!

Okay, let's do our individual practice routines.

Yes, Captain!

So, you used to be friends with Miss Arisugawa, huh?

Yes. My name's Shiori Takatsuki.

I went to Ohtori up until middle school.

I had to transfer to another for a while, though.

I just transferred back in and started living in the dorms today.

Sort of like a prodigal daughter. Glad to meet you.

Sure, it's a pleasure.

He's glad to meet you, too.

How do you do?

So, have you known Miss Arisugawa for a long time?

Yes, I have.

We were more than childhood friends.

Juri and I really grew up together.

Juri was always so wonderful...

So strong... So imposing...

Yeah, I can almost see that.

She always protected me.

Juri was my only friend...

She was the only person I could ever depend on with all my heart.

But now I don't deserve any of that...

Shiori...?

I'm so embarrassed!

I never meant to say any of that!

I don't have a roommate, so please come visit me again.

I said to be careful, didn't I?

A rose may be most beautiful when it blooms,

but that's also when its thorns are most dangerous.

Um, Sou;ji...?

You did it on purpose.

We need this rose's thorns, don't we?

Correct.

With rose thorns more beautiful and more dangerous than anyone else,

we'll defeat Utena Tenjou.

But how will we harvest the thorns?

You saw what happens if we carelessly try touching it.

That's simple.

The rose has a natural parasitic enemy.

We use the parasite's poison, then?

Will it work on this rose, though?

Things are already set to go.

So, you're saying your sister pulled a sword out of you?

Exactly.

And when she did it, she was wearing a Black Rose Seal.

I see.

Now, your report mentions that a third party aside from...

...the student council is after the Rose Bride.

Yes, that's correct.

I can't believe it.

It's the truth!

And they're obviously a definite threat!

Besides that, they caught you, a member of the student council...

...completely off guard, didn't they?!

Well...!

I wasn't expecting it...

Hey, you always do this with the watch.

What's it mean, anyway?

Is this hearing over?

Oh, oh, by the way...

What did it feel like?

What do you mean?

What do you think?! I bet it hurt.

L-Look, never mind that!

The real question is how do we respond to this?!

Miss Juri, what do you think?

Miss Juri?

Y-You're right...

I'm sorry. You'll have to excuse me for today.

You've always been first in his thoughts, Juri.

But I have no regrets about taking him from you.

You must hate me for what I've done.

Juri!

There's something I want to talk to you about.

Wait! Please, Juri! Please!

In the end, we broke up. But...

The fact that I stole him away from you remains...

You'll never forgive me for it, will you?

Still, 1 think how nice it would be to go back to the way it was.

I felt that way the minute I got back here.

This school is so full of memories...

Those were happy times...

With you and me and him...

Is that all you have to say to me?

If so, then excuse me.

I'll just say this...

I have no feelings for him at all.

Not now or ever.

You mean...!

Yes. I never loved him.

That's why I don't have any hard feelings for you now.

But, then...

Whose picture do you have in that pendant?

You keep it hidden under your shirt, even now!

It's you?

That was Shiori you were talking to up there, wasn't it?

And what if it was?

I don't know what the details are, but how about forgiving her?

She's a nice girl, you know?

You used to be friends, didn't you?

She really seems to trust you...

You're just like Shiori...

So cruelly innocent...

What do you mean?

Listen! This is none of your business!

What's with her?!

Miss Arisugawa is so narrow-minded!

I mean, she didn't have to speak to me like that!

You're just like Ganymede, the boy of the constellation Aquarius.

Innocent and pure.

But such innocence can hurt other people.

Be careful.

She sorta said the same thing to me.

Everyone has something they'd rather not let other people touch.

I guess that's life...

Believe in miracles...

Believe...

The parasite's poison has begun to circulate through the noble rose.

And soon the rose will produce its thorns for us.

Not throwing your picture away was my weakness.

But I don't believe in miracles!

You mean it?

Oh, yeah!

Wait up!

That's strange...

Did someone come in before?

This is... This is Juri's!

Interviewees, please fill out a record form.

Nemuro Hall Interview Record Name: Shiori Takatsuki

I've hated Juri since we were children...

She's talented, beautiful, popular with everyone...

I was jealous of Juri.

That's right... I did love him,

but I also wanted to take something precious from her!

That's all I wanted. And so... And so...

Deeper... Go deeper...

It's not that!

Juri was always so kind to me.

But she was just making a fool of me!

I thought she was being kind to me...

...out of sympathy for not being as great as she was!

That's what I thought...

It seemed so pathetic!

That's why I wanted to change the relationship we had.

But what I did with him made me feel even more pathetic than before!

I thought I wanted him for me!

But now...

Now, she and I are equal!

No, I've beaten her!

I'm the one who's always been there in her heart!

I've beaten her in the end!

Oh, what to do...

Knowing my friend's secret makes me so happy I can't stand it!

I can just see her,

alone and miserable, looking at my picture...

Oh, Juri... you pitiful thing...

It's no use! It's just no use!

Why do you look at me like that?! Why?!

Why does it have to be this way?!

I see.

Your only choice is to revolutionize the world.

The path you must take has been prepared for you.

Where are we?

Shiori...?

Hi... What do you want now?

Here.

I believe this is yours.

Where did you get that?!

Then, you saw... inside...

If you'd asked, I would have given you a nicer picture.

So pretty...

I loved the look in your eyes when I hurt you...

Shiori... Don't push me...

I always thought you were stronger than anyone,

and yet now you seem so weak.

TENJOU UTENA

To the Engaged: I will be waiting in the Dueling Arena at sunset.

Extra! Extra! Extra!

I'm doomed!

My secret is now known to everyone!

There's nothing to worry about!

I'm going to die!

There's no one who would ever call it embarrassing.

You think so?

Of course.

You aren't the only person who wears woolen underwear.

But most people don't wear three pairs at once!

I'm doomed after all!

I, well-known as a fashionable dresser,

wear woolen underwear!

Three pairs at once, no less!

No one will ever marry me now!

Whatever shall I do?!

Take 'em off?

Yes... The one who controls Juri is me!

The infinitely opposing relationship...

The ever-growing desires and...

Grant me the power to bring the world revolution! The ever-growing desires and...

...the fickle, cruel lies.

Aah! Man does not exist...

Aah! Within the darkness...

Why do this?! I thought you liked Juri! Aah! The sound of the waves...

Because now I see! Aah! The sound of the waves...

See what?! Aah! The sound of the waves...

I see that Juri isn't the person everyone thinks she is!

Another failure...

But the parasite's venom is effective.

Another opportunity to use it will come...

Oh, Shiori, come on!

Why'd you break up with your old boyfriend, anyway?

You wanna know?

Of course we do!

Should I tell you...?

Shiori seems like a whole different person.

You think so?

Huh? But, she's...

She hasn't changed. Not a bit...

Oh, no you don't!

Share your experience with us!

Hi there, Juri!

Hi.

So, then what happened?

So then, I said this to him,

"What the hell are you doing?!"

Seriously?!

Does that make me a brute?

Nah, the jerk deserved it!

Yeah, that's right! Nah, the jerk deserved it!

Yeah, that's right!

And once again, you've come back to me...

Even after I was able to let you go once...

Why can't I be stronger?

What's wrong, Mistress Utena?

When you're an adult, you miss being a kid.

But kids can't wait to grow up to be adults.

Does thinking that mean I'm still a kid?

Oh, but Mistress Utena, I'm already an adult.

Huh? What do you mean by "adult"...?
