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

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

We're really flying down the road...

The throb of the engine feels good, doesn't it?

Care to take the wheel?

Hm? But I'm not old enough...

How upright of you.

That was an indecent proposal, Mr. Chairman.

My Ohtori Academy values the independence of its students...

...Mr. President.

Their Eternal Apocalypse

Yes?

Um, I'm a friend of Utena Tenjou, so...

Right. Hang on a second.

Come in.

T-T-Thanks.

Oh?

Welcome!

Oh, Wakaba!

Ta-DAA!

I'm here to help!

Thanks.

This place is great!

Way better than that haunted house you were in!

It's a little big for my tastes.

Even so, it's totally beautiful!

You guys are so super lucky to be here!

I guess. It is a nice room, isn't it?

I don't mean the room! I guess. It is a nice room, isn't it?

I don't mean the room!

Gorgeous...

What is?

The chairman, the chairman!

That smile...

Is that what they mean by an angelic smile?

Oh, if a guy like that was living under the same roof with me...

Just think of the romantic possibilities!

I'm jealous.

Oh, cut it out, Wakaba.

Akio's already got a fiancée.

He does?!

Why are all the hot guys in the world always already taken?

There, there...

What was that about being taken?

Would you like some tea?

Please!

I don't have any other family,

so I really wanted to have my little sister near me.

Still, I felt bad about separating her from her dear friend...

...s0 I imposed on Utena to move in here as well.

You're such a nice brother.

Oh, Um... I'm a good friend of Anthy's, too!

I hope you stay close, then.

Sure!

Oh, uh, here, Himemiyal!

Let me get you more tea!

Thank you.

Oh, brother...

What?! Something wrong?

No, nothing.

What?! I'm not acting strange, am I?!

So, where were you during your absence, Saionji?

That doesn't matter.

In any case, I'm through with the duels!

C'mon! C'mon! C'mon! In any case, I'm through with the duels!

In any case, I'm through with the duels!

Meaning what?

It means I can't trust what's written in these letters!

Strike!

You were fooled by a phony letter before.

You seem to have learned from the experience.

I've already verified this letter's contents.

I got it! I got it!

I passed through the Rose Gate...

Strike!

...and in the middle of the stairway leading to the Dueling Arena...

Strike!

...a gondola appeared.

Strike! Batter, out!

What do you mean, a gondola?

I believe it's to carry us to a new stage.

Whether the letter's content is true or false doesn't matter.

I never signed up to be End of the World's lackey!

You're out! Game, set!

There's no way I'll fight because somebody orders me to!

Kyoichi!

Don't try to stop me!

Jeez... It's not like I want to do it, either!

And besides that...

Who exactly is "End of the World" anyway?

That star, there.

You can see it more clearly than usual today.

Um, which one is it?

Look. Over there.

You see?

Just look where I'm pointing.

That star which is brighter than any other. That's Venus.

Oh...

The Morning Star.

My name, Akio, was derived from the name of this star.

It's kind of romantic, isn't it?

The Morning Star has another name...

Lucifer.

Lucifer...?

The star who was once an angel, yet chose to be the King of Hell.

Looking up at it from this world,

it's always at the sun's side.

A star which cannot shine unless the sun sets.

What must it think when it shines in the sky...?

Himemiya!

Dinner looks to be about ready, Mistress Utena.

R-Really?

And I was just thinking how hungry I was!

Well, see you, Akio. Gotta go.

Akio's a really nice guy, isn't he?

Yes.

Except...

Except...?

Whenever Akio talks about the stars,

he gets a lonely look in his eyes.

Like he's lost something very precious...

Still, there's something about him that seems so familiar to me.

There are times you seem...

...very familiar to me as well, Mistress Utena.

ldo?

Yes. ldo?

Yes.

You don't usually say stuff like that.

I'm sorry.

Don't be. I'm glad you did.

Listen, if you ever have a problem, come to me first.

We can help each other through anything.

I want us to be friends like that.

I understand.

From now on, we'll live to help each other.

Mistress Utena...

The truth is, I...

What is it?

Never mind.

Cleaning the floor at this hour?

You're always so conscientious.

You're sure to be the champion in the local tournament this year.

There's one thing about you I truly hate.

That infernal conceit of yours.

Oh?

You're right.

I am going to be the champion this year.

But you consider that to be meaningless child's play...

...and in your heart, you laugh at me.

Not at all!

In the end, only the truly strong end up being the winners.

You may be proud of your little schemes,

but never forget that you lost to Utena Tenjou.

That's true for both of us.

And yet one of us seems to have abandoned the duels.

At the very least, I haven't given up.

There's someone I'd like you to meet.

Someone I should meet?

Even you haven't really given up, have you?

There... Can't you hear it?

Hear what?

If your soul has not truly given up...

...then you can hear the sound...

...that races about the end of the world!

Are you insane?!

What the...? What is that?!

Come! Join us!

Follow us to the world you desire!

He's the guy engaged to Ohtori's daughter.

The chairman, right?

Yes. And the older brother of Anthy Himemiya.

Do you want the Rose Bride?

What do you mean?

Exactly what I said.

What do you want?

What do you aspire to?

What do you wish to be?

What's the point of asking those questions?

First of all, I don't trust you.

Oh, please. Aren't you my only friend?

True friendship doesn't exist in this world.

You think so?

I know so.

Is that...

Is that what you really believe?

Get to the point.

Then why are you trying to reach the castle where eternity dwells?

Is it because something eternal exists there?

You believe you can find eternal friendship, perhaps?

Do you remember that girl we found in that coffin?

Did that even really happen?

The girl said she wanted to see something eternal, didn't she?

Maybe...

I don't remember it that well.

That night,

it was Akio here who saved her from that coffin.

What?!

Akio showed the girl something eternal and saved her.

He what?!

Just who the hell are you?!

The throb of the engine feels good, doesn't it?

What are you talking about?!

I reveal the End of the World...

...to you now, as well.

Are you saying you're...?!

I don't know because...

...I never got any letters from End of the World.

As I thought. You didn't know about him.

What else?

You said something about the stairway to the Dueling Arena.

Well, you know how the stairway is built around a central pillar?

There's some sort of gondola inside the pillar.

Gondola?

Exactly!

That gondola is the wings which will fly to the End of the World.

It will carry the Rose Bride and me to the castle where eternity dwells.

Saionji!

You gave up the duels, didn't you?

Unfortunately, I'm not the same man I was yesterday.

How are you different?

You can't tell?

No.

I don't understand a word of what you're saying!

I see. You don't understand.

You couldn't understand, even if I explained it to you.

What do you think you're doing?!

Mickey!

You okay?!

The Rose Bride belongs to me!

Let her go, Saionji!

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

There'll be another duel today in the forest behind the school!

It feels so nostalgic to say those words again!

It's better with two people...

Instead of one.

Half the suffering...

...and double the pleasure!

Wait! Hold it!

You used my shampoo last night without asking me!

Only after you finished off that pudding I was going to eat!

Though it was two weeks old...

Seriously?!

Anyway, brave hero...

It's hard to work as a team.

I wonder if you know that?

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

Ugh... Here it comes!

Saionji, you've got to learn to let this go.

If you really love Himemiya, look at it from her point of view!

I did.

I, too, once considered the Rose Bride's feelings.

That's what inflamed me so!

But now I know better!

The Rose Bride has no will of her own!

I'm gonna have to beat you to make you understand, huh?

Himemiya! The sword!

I'm no longer the man you beat before!

The reason is because...!

...]I SAW IT!

"Saw it?"

Exactly!

What did you see?!

The world...

It's gone...!

Are you enjoying this game?

Then what's the problem?

Be kind to your friend.

You're an evil man, aren't you?

Kozue fell off the second floor of one of the buildings!

Oh, how terrible!

Well, she's okay, thank goodness.

Don't do that again, Kozue.

Your brother really worries about you.

They really are close siblings, aren't they?

Mickey! I thought we were friends now!

You're going to duel me again...?
