Somewhere we don't know about,

new Duelists have begun to act.

We've been abandoned, haven't we?

End of the World may have another idea.

What are you talking about?!

We in the student council control what goes on here at the school!

There isn't a lot of room here for newcomers!

It isn't that simple...

You're right.

Why are you guys so serious about this?

Hold it... Juri, did they get you, too?!

Oh, God! Really?

S-So, what was it like? Did it hurt?

Miss Nanami!

Phys-Ed's going to be in the gym today because of the rain.

You'll be playing basketball, so I brought your basketball shoes.

Um...

Only council members are allowed up here.

Oh, but don't I happen to be council president now?

In any case, you'd better watch your back.

We're at a disadvantage as long as our opponent remains hidden.

What's with those two?!

Miss Nanami! What was all that about?

It's not your concern, Tsuwabuki.

It's adult talk.

Mitsuru's Impatience

Wow, it's really coming down.

Don't your roses need lots of sunlight?

Yes, they do.

Roses are very sensitive to the change of season.

There's Nanami and Tsuwabuki.

Tsuwabuki follows her everywhere!

I wouldn't last three days doing all the stuff he has to!

I'm sure he does it because he enjoys it.

You really think so?

Well, I hope she appreciates it.

She doesn't appreciate you at all, does she?!

You're so wrong about all this!

Oh, it you, Mari...

You carry her things, arrange her schedule,

run errands for her...!

You're not her manager!

Do you think you can make a girl like you just by being nice?!

No, that never works.

So why do it?!

I'm happy to just be near Miss Nanami.

You're so twisted!

You really need to get into a more normal relationship!

Don't be such a know-it-all!

You're only a year older than me!

One year is still one year more mature!

You're no different from me!

What's that mean?!

Well, your body sure isn't mature yet!

Jerk!

What's with her?!

Tsuwabuki?

Who was that just now?

It... It was nobody! Nobody...

Look, Tsuwabuki... Don't you have any friends?

Friends?

You're always coming over to the middle school, so...

Does it bother you?

That's not what I'm saying.

You may be a kid, but you don't act very cute.

I... I just like being with you, Miss Nanami...

That girl before was kinda cute, wasn't she?

H... H-How is she cute?!

Is she your girlfriend?

She's just an old friend!

Ohtori Academy Elementary School Dorms

What's all this? You gonna throw a party?

Don't touch it!

That's for Miss Nanami's lunch tomorrow!

All of this?!

Something wrong with that?

You just don't get it, do you?

Hey!

Don't just take other peoples' food without asking!

No matter how much you do for her,

she's just going to use you up and then leave you.

Why do you think that?

Womens' intuition.

She's like a Black Widow spider.

Spinning her web and drawing you in bit by bit!

You just don't know Miss Nanami's good points.

I know her type! It's womens' intuition!

And that girl's pure Black Widow!

If she just eats this, I'll be satisfied.

That's dirty!

What's dirty about it?!

You'll understand when you're older!

Hey, you forgot this!

Eat it yourself!

Do adults even eat chocolate?!

An indirect kiss...

Where should we eat lunch?

Stupid rain...

Miss Nanami!

I've got your favorite today! Fried chicken!

With asparagus and bacon...

What is it, Tsuwabuki?

Uh, your lunch...?

Not today, thanks.

This is the guy who runs the Mikage Seminar.

Good afternoon.

I'm really flattered to be asked to join the seminar.

It's my pleasure.

Asking you was worth it.

If I can be of any use to you at all...

Come on. Let's have some lunch...

...and we can discuss this in more detail.

Sure.

You can visit the seminar as well, if you wish.

Never mind him.

Tsuwabuki's just a child, after all. Let's go!

Huh?

Hey, Tsuwabuki. What's wrong?

You've chosen some pretty heavy reading.

Miss Utena...

What does it mean to be an "adult"?

Huh? What does it mean...?

W-Well, a lot of stuff goes into it, but...

...I think being an adult mostly means you have experience in certain things.

"Certain things"?

So, if I get experience in certain things, I'll be an adult?

Um, I guess...

Have you done those things, Miss Utena?

Um, well...

There are a lot of adult things about us. Right, Mistress Utena?

Huh? T-There are?

Yes.

Is dreaming about my prince weird?

No, I mean...

A younger student asked me...

...about the difference between children and adults.

I was wondering which one I am.

What do you think you are?

I dunno.

I never really wondered what the difference was before he asked.

With each passing year, a star loses some of its brilliance.

Perhaps, you can also say people are like that, too.

Aren't you shining at your brightest, Mr. Chairman?

What with your pretty bride and all.

Perhaps.

Mamiya. Why don't you come out once in a while?

Rain depresses me.

I find this place relaxing.

In darkness, that terrible sight will pass unseen...

In any case, have you decided on the next Duelist?

The deeply jealous queen and her retainer...

He's just a boy.

A tough bud until yesterday,

but with a little encouragement, he'll burst open easily.

You're a terrible man...

Beauty alone will not get us the Rose Bride.

I understand.

I just need experience,

and then I'll be an adult...

What are you doing?

What, you again?

What are you doing?

Seeing certain things.

So I can be an adult.

Watching a bunch of things will make you an adult?

Yeah.

You've really been trying to depress me lately!

Why do you keep bugging me?!

Why are you trying to copy other people?

A guy who's had one real kiss is more of an adult...

...than someone who's watched a hundred kiss scenes!

One real kiss...

This is gonna end badly.

You're not stupid, but you're doing this all weird.

You have to practice.

Don't you know that?

You're such a jerk!

No sense of subtlety!

You really are a child!

That girl...

Ohtori Academy Elementary School Dorms

Never mind him.

Tsuwabuki's just a child, after all.

...I think being an adult mostly means you have experience in certain things.

There are a lot of adult things about us. Right, Mistress Utena?

Coming.

Miss Nanami!

What were you doing in the screening room today?

Huh? How did you...?

I saw it. You were with a girl.

Oh, that was just Mari being-

I knew it!

What were you doing with that "old friend" of yours?!

Tsuwabuki... You like that girl, don't you?!

So what if I do?

I'm still really small.

I can't eat bitter things.

That seminar's too hard for me to join...

And even Mari's been giving me a hard time lately...

...saying, "You're a kid, so you don't understand."

Why couldn't I have been born the same year as you?

I want to be an adult now.

I want to do all the fun things that adults can do...

Don't be silly.

You don't have to be an adult.

You're fine the way you are right now.

Interview Room

IN USE

Elementary school section, fourth grade, class A.

Mitsuru Tsuwabuki.

All right. Please begin.

The truth is, this is about Miss Nanami.

She's so pretty and dependable.

I've always looked up to her.

She makes me work relentlessly,

yet just being with her used to make me happy.

But now... But now...

Deeper... Go deeper...

Just...

Just being with her isn't enough for me anymore.

It's even like that with Mari now!

My old friend's been really bugging me lately.

They both keep making fun of me!

They laugh at me for being a kid!

I want to be an adult!

I want to be an adult and just kick over the whole world!

Wreck it all! Wreck it all!

I want to wreck everything!

I understand.

The path you must take has been prepared for you.

Where...?

Tsuwabuki?

What'd you call me here for?

Why are you just sitting there, Tsuwabuki?

Say something!

Sure. Sit down, please.

Oh, what's this all about...?

H-Hold it!

Hands off now, Tsuwabuki!

Tsu... Tsuwabuki...?

And with this, I will be an adult...

Where's the rain?

Whenever I remember my umbrella, it always stops!

You shoulda watched the weather report.

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

Extra! Extra! Extra!

Well, I...! Today...! Today...!

I did it for the first time!

What?! And you didn't tell your own father?!

Where did it happen?

In a car, apparently.

How could you be so stupid?!

Now dear, please...

I was really nervous,

but I have no regrets about it!

See seemed very determined for her first time.

I guess I had to be brave,

but getting my proof of adulthood wasn't that hard.

And I got a glass of juice for my trouble!

Huh? What are you talking about?

Donating blood, of course!

You can give blood when you're 16.

Proof of a-dult-hood!

Tsuwabuki?!

Hold it... You're the one who called me out here?

You didn't forget this is a dueling arena, did you?

The battle has already begun.

His eyes...

It's the same thing! Just like all the others!

Then, Tsuwabuki is...?

He's not the boy we know.

Tsuwabuki! Snap out of it! In anything, there is no energy at all.

You and I have no reason to fight! In anything, there is no energy at all.

You and I have no reason to fight! In everything, there is no wasted energy.

In everything, there is no wasted energy.

I will be an adult! In everything, there is no wasted energy.

Both are frightened. My heart is also pounding.

I, the time traveler, will open the door!

Good morning, Miss Nanami!

Oh... Good morning.

Something wrong?

N-No. It's nothing.

Tsuwabuki!

Get a move on or you'll be late!

That girl...

See you!

It's gonna be warm today...
