Revolutionary Girl Utena

In the sunlit garden, we both joined our hands. hikarisasu garden te wo toriai

Drawing close for comfort, we both swore... chikai atta nagusame atta

...never again would we ever fall in love. mou koi wa ni do to shinai yotte

I see that photo of us standing cheek to cheek... hoho wo yoseatte utsuru shashin no

...and place a bit of my loneliness in our smiles. egao ni sukoshi no samishisa tsumekonde

Even if I dream, even if I cry, even if I get hurt... yume wo mite namida shite kizutsuitemo

...reality keeps on coming recklessly. genjitsu wa gamushara ni kuru shi

I wanna find my own place, the value of being... jibun no ibasho sonzai kachi wo mitsuketai

Let's find the strength to throw it all away. isagiyoku nugisuteru

Strip down to nothing at all. hadaka ni naru

Become like rose petals, blowing free! jiyuu wo mau bara no you ni

Even if the two of us are torn apart... tatoe futari hanarebanare ni nattemo

...I swear that I will change the world. watashi wa sekai wo kaeru

And so we've come to the last of the Black Roses.

But the question is whether he, himself, will fight.

Nemuro Memorial Hall

We have to find out who they are at once!

They're not trying to take the Rose Bride.

They're trying to kill her!

It goes without saying that maintaining academy security...

...is our duty as members of the Student Council enforcement division.

Really! Just who are these people?!

They trick ordinary students...

...into attacking Utena Tenjou one after another!

You seem irritated.

Is it because they've targeted friends and even your dear Touga?

You're well-informed, as always, I see.

But if your information lines are that good...

...I wish you'd use them to figure out who we're fighting here!

We have a lead.

I thought the Rose Seals could only be possessed...

...by those chosen by End of the World.

Then End of the World must be moving in the shadows.

Perhaps...

But if you consider the situation...

...it's obvious whoever it is has End of the World's backing.

In any case, what's obvious...

...is that whoever it is is at this academy!

Sorry, I couldn't hear what you both said.

Chu-Chu!

Chu-Chu!

Here, Chu-Chu!

Great... Where'd he go?

Is this little guy yours?

Oh, Chu-Chu!

You're...

Sorry. Did he cause you any trouble?

No.

I found him in the kitchen, stuck in a mousetrap.

He was crying.

A mousetrap?

Could you just behave for once?!

Miss Utena Tenjou...

How do you know my name?

It's nice to meet you.

I've had my eye on you for a while now.

I'm Souji Mikage, from the high school section.

Mikage...?

As in the genius who runs the Mikage Seminar?

What do you think, Miss Utena Tenjou?

Would you consider joining my seminar?

What? Me?!

The last test I took was to make up for failing another one!

This isn't about academic prowess.

What my seminar is always after...

...are those with individualistic personalities.

You're more than welcome to just come and visit.

You have your seminar in this building, right?

That's right.

Nemuro Memorial Hall.

You must have heard the stories about this building.

Yeah...

The story that 100 boys died here is completely true.

There was once a man called Professor Nemuro.

There was a fire here.

He and his students were trapped inside and burned to death.

They rebuilt Nemuro Memorial Hall soon after.

Still...

...that was a long time ago.

Pardon the intrusion!

Akio? You in here?

I guess not.

That's kinda strange.

It's you.

We're only partners in business.

I have no reason to obey your orders.

Yes.

That's been our contract.

Ever since that time...

It doesn't vanish immediately, does it, Professor Nemuro?

What doesn't?

The snow, Professor.

Stop with the "professor" stuff.

We're the same age.

Distinctions are important.

With a genius like you with us,

things are really taking off, right?

Oh, please.

You give me too much credit.

Anyway, I never thought they'd take secrecy so seriously here.

They treat us like parts in a machine!

That was in the contract we made with this school.

But we don't even know...

...what the section next door is researching!

Rumor has it it's something about "the power to revolutionize the world."

Or something about "attaining eternity."

Can't you give me a hint, sir?

All I know are the same rumors.

Not that they interest me much.

By the way, there's a question I've been meaning to ask.

What's that?

What are those rings you all wear on your left hand?

They're nothing special.

They're just fashionable lately.

So, that's Professor Nemuro, the genius...

He really doesn't know the details of what's going on here.

So it seems.

And yet that man vouches for his intelligence.

Nemuro's paper was interesting, but the man himself is pretty dry.

Pretending to be uninterested in everything is the mark of inexperience.

Let him act that way if he wants.

The guy's like a living computer.

We should use him as much as we can.

Yes, I was a living computer back then...

Computers are superior machines,

but machines by themselves lack purpose.

I was a dry man passing dry days.

And it was also true that...

...I didn't really care about the details of my research then.

The project I was involved in wasn't really progressing,

but I didn't care.

Professor Nemuro, the head researcher, right?

I've been sent by the Board.

I'm here as their current inspector.

I'm Tokiko Chida. How do you do?

The streets around here are terrible.

It must have been hard to walk through that quagmire outside.

Well, a bit.

So, what did you call me out to your house for?

Too strong...

The tea seems a little too strong.

Strange, since I let it steep for as long as I usually do.

Is it possible for an hourglass to run slow?

The job assigned to me is proceeding on schedule.

I can't guarantee that it will be completed, though.

I know you're not the type of man to take orders from someone else.

Genius is a gift from God.

It can't be tied down to mundane things.

I'm no genius.

Why are you working on this job?

Purely for business reasons.

Although I think I've already done more than my contract called for.

We've assembled 100 extraordinary boys here at Ohtori Academy...

...and they're proceeding with the project.

They spread rumors that the research is to revolutionize the world.

That it will allow them to attain eternity.

To attain eternity...

It sounds like we're building a perpetual motion machine.

People should show more humility...

...and be grateful for what God has already granted to them.

Still, I'm sure you can do this...

Excuse me a moment.

Mamiya! What are you doing?!

Didn't I tell you to spend the day resting?!

But I'm a little worried about the roses.

Get back to bed at once!

In a moment...

What I hate most are people who don't care about themselves!

Sorry you had to see this.

Now get back to bed!

Professor Nemuro?

And you are...?

I'm Chida Tokiko's brother, Mamiya.

I've wanted to meet you, sir.

You must have heard some interesting stories about me.

How I'm like a living computer, right?

I read your paper.

You're the first person I've ever respected aside from my sister.

My sister came to Ohtori Academy just to meet you.

You won't rest quietly without this, will you?

I like it when you give me an injection.

Don't say such silly things, naughty boy.

It's for his sake. That's why I'm involved in this.

I should just give up.

That's what the doctors all say.

But... If the project succeeds...

It has nothing to do with medicine.

Even if it succeeds, it won't cure your brother's illness.

But...

It may allow you to "attain eternity," right?

Sorry for crying like this.

No...

I almost feel like this is the first time I've seen a person cry.

Do you have someone who's important to you?

Or perhaps it's not possible for a genius to love another person.

Perhaps you're right...

That's how it's been up till now.

Professor Nemuro's been working like a man possessed lately.

The Board sent in an inspector, didn't they?

She certainly seems to be the right one for the job!

Exactly. That man always succeeds at what he sets out to do.

But does the professor still not know what this is all for?

You're not resting.

Are you sure it's all right?

Yes. I feel a bit better today.

I see.

The snow in this garden just isn't melting, is it?

My sister was called away by the Board, right?

I imagine she won't be home until this evening.

That's all right.

I came to see you today.

Here. Would you like some?

They're sugar-preserved roses.

My sister made them.

These dried flowers, too.

She doesn't like to see flowers die...

This way, even these short-lived flowers can last a bit longer.

But...

I wonder if the flowers like being made to last longer.

Nothing in this world is eternal.

Although...

A heart that longs for eternity could be considered beautiful.

You don't believe that I or your sister will succeed?

I deeply respect you both.

And I appreciate what you're doing.

Sorry to bother you.

I'll come again.

Professor Nemuro.

I'll be sure to tell my sister that you're worried about me.

You just can't solve that equation, can you?

Outsiders aren't permitted in here!

There are no outsiders here.

Aside from you, of course.

That is the first step towards the power to revolutionize the world.

And then everything will begin from there...

Ridiculous!

I can't possibly do this!

Isn't that the ring everyone here wears?

The Rose Seal.

It symbolizes a contract made with me.

Contract?

Yes.

I've made contracts with all 100 boys who work here.

That's insane... What is this contract?

These boys you have under contract...

Why have they been brought together like this?

And even if we do attain eternity, it won't make her happy...

"Her," you say?

I give this Rose Seal to you.

If you desire eternity, put it on your finger.

Your only choice is to revolutionize the world.

The path you must take has been prepared for you.

Is it true?! You did this?!

You were behind this?!

Yes...

Why...?

Why did you do this?!

They had a contract.

Ancient creatures died and became the fuels we mine, like oil and coal.

Without a sacrifice like that,

our energy-based civilization would have been impossible.

Such sacrifices are always necessary...

What are you talking about?

This is the first step towards the task you have.

One day, the path to eternity will be opened from this school.

Mr. Nemuro...

Mamiya did the right thing.

I, too, now wish to grasp eternity with my own hands...

Extra! Extra! Extra!

It's finished! Science has produced an all-purpose robot!

Robots-do-not-age.

Robots-do-not-tire.

I-shall-catch-monkeys.

You are superior to humans!

Robots-are-superior.

I-catch-many-monkeys.

You will never be troubled.

Robots-are-never-troubled.

When-I-see-a-monkey, I-catch-it-quickly.

Robots-do-not-feel-lonely.

I-have-the-monkeys-for-company.

Robots-keep-working-on-and-on.

I-have-caught-many-monkeys.

But it breaks my heart to see you like this...

A-monkey! A-monkey!

Oh, it's you.

It's been a long time.

This school's changed a lot.

I just saw Professor Nemuro over there.

Look, you don't have to do what this mysterious guy tells you to do!

No, it can't be helped.

Because I am the Rose Bride.

Don't be stupid!

What I hate most are people who don't care about themselves!

Tokiko...

He's just like you.

He hasn't aged a bit since then.

So long as they stay in this garden we call an academy,

people will never become adults.

There's something wrong about that.

You're living a normal life?

Yes...

My husband is a kind man. He provides well for me.

What brought you here today?

I came to visit my brother Mamiya's grave.

Say, you must know, don't you?

That for a plant to bear fruit, its flowers have to die.

Indeed...

Kanae, Kozue, Wakaba...

Who's the puppet master who pushed them into dueling me?!

I'm afraid I don't know, either.

By the way, that genius from...

...Nemuro Memorial Hall said he'd help me with anything.

Souji Mikage...

I wonder if I should go there for some counseling.

Sure. Whatever you say, Mistress Utena. I wonder if I should go there for some counseling.

Sure. Whatever you say, Mistress Utena.
