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

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

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

They're thoughts I've never been able to put into words.

But... My heart is always, always whispering them...

Just as yours does to you...

TSUCHIYA RUKA

TSUCHIYA RUKA Next!

TSUCHIYA RUKA

Next!

Man, Juri's on a roll!

That's her eighth one!

She's very skillful.

Next!

Next!

Right!

Sorry I'm not on the roster. May I challenge you next?

Sorry.

Incredible...

He's as good as Miss Juri!

No... Juri was slightly slower than he was.

I thought you'd have improved while I was gone,

but I guess my hopes were too high.

I thought it was you, Captain.

"Captain"?

Please...

You're the club's captain now, aren't you, Arisugawa?

Whispers in the Dark

Ruka has returned to this school.

Ruka?!

Yes. The captain of the fencing club.

Ruka Tsuchiya.

I thought you were the fencing club's captain, Miss Juri!

I've just been filling in for him.

I had no idea...

So, what's he doing back here now?!

I'm hurt, Nanami.

Is that any way to speak of an upperclassman who's been away sick?

R-Ruka, sir...!

I've finally made it back to school...

...after being out for so long with my illness.

C-Congratulations on your recovery...

Thank you.

End of the World seems to be upset with you.

He complains that you've all lost your nerve.

You've been chosen?

So, you're going to challenge Miss Tenjou now?!

Whoa! Whoa!

I've only just recovered.

Well then, what are you planning to do?

Good question.

I've been away from the Academy for a long time.

For now, I think I'll indulge myself in some normal school life.

Thank you for the meal...

No, close up your flank.

Draw your legs in.

That's it. Much better.

Yes, sir.

No fair! Get away from him! I want him to help me!

Tsuchiya's so wonderful!

It's like the whole school's talking about him!

ARISUGAWA JURI

TSUCHIYA RUKA

Um... I'm sorry, I was just...

It's not...

I see. So, it was you.

Someone polished my sword every day while I was gone.

I'm glad.

It was you, right?

Yes...

I just wanted to help you.

So, every day I polished the sword.

Thank you. You're a very kind person.

Oh, no. I just...

Hey, check those two out!

We saw! What a shock!

Way to go, Shiori!

She didn't waste any time going after Tsuchiya!

She's usually so quiet, too.

Well, when you get the chance, you go for it, I guess.

I want to speak with you. You know where.

I'm glad. You still remember this place.

It brings back old memories.

I taught you all my fencing moves here.

From the moment you joined the club...

...your talents shone brighter than anyone else's.

You're the rightful captain of the fencing club.

I leave its guidance to you.

Oh?

I don't know what you're after as a Duelist.

However...

However?

Keep your hands off Shiori!

Why?

Shiori's...

Shiori's... an old friend of mine.

I see. I understand what you're saying.

However, I think you have a few misconceptions.

What?!

I told you.

I'm just living a normal life right now.

I'm free to fall in love with anyone on campus, aren't I?

Ruka Tsuchiya...

He's even better with the sword than Miss Arisugawa.

And this amazing guy has returned to the fencing club.

You seem concerned by something, Mistress Utena.

Yeah...

For some reason, I feel uneasy.

Your heart is racing like a puppy's.

No, it's...

Shall we go?

No matter how long the night is, our time together is brief.

Right.

He knows...

He knows everything.

Oh, Juri!

What's that look for?

Shiori... it'd be better if you didn't go out with him.

I know this must come as a surprise.

But, I'm just worried about you.

You can't trust him-

Juri!

You really are... the worst.

Shiori, what are you doing?

Let's get going!

Right! Coming!

What's up?

Oh, nothing...

Miss Arisugawa's a really scary person, isn't she?

Oh? Is she?

Tsuchiya!

Hi.

You're...

Sorry if I surprised you.

I came with a message from Tsuchiya.

He wants to lead you to a fantastic place,

so won't you please wait for him here?

A fantastic place...?

There... Can't you hear it?

If your soul has not truly given up...

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

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

What... are you talking about?

What is that? What's happening?!

Come! Join us!

Follow us to the world you desire!

Were you surprised?

No, not at all.

I figured you'd say that.

You're taking me to a fantastic place, right?

Yes.

You're an adult now.

Everything in the world can be ours.

Yours and mine.

Everything in the world...

Yes. Fantastic, miraculous power.

And I'll make it mine?

Yes.

How lovely...

Don't you love the throb of the engine?

Always so pretty...

Er, the roses, I mean.

Miss Utena Tenjou?

We met before.

Yeah. I saw your match with Miss Arisugawa.

Oh?

These roses are really spectacular.

They smell lovely...

You're a Duelist, too, huh?

Meet me after school. In the Dueling Arena.

Catch anything?

Not a nibble. Catch anything?

Not a nibble.

Oh! Got one!

Hang on! Don't lose it!

Okay, here goes!

GOTCHA! Huh...?

It's somebody's sandal.

Oh, now I've got one!

Hang on! We need a side dish for dinner!

Got it...! Huh?

It's a kettle!

Look! Another bite!

All right! This time, for sure!

A tire?

Apparently.

If you saw my match with Juri, then you already know.

I have far greater skill with the sword than you do.

We won't know that till we duel!

Exactly.

You have unusual abilities.

I may not be able to beat you.

That miraculous power should be ours, after all.

A girl like her-

There will be no next time. A girl like her-

There will be no next time.

We'll just keep losing.

I failed because of my Bride.

That's not fair!

Do you have any idea just how much I cared about you?!

That's right! I polished your sword every day!

I did it only for you!

Oh, that... That wasn't my sword.

Your performance was amusing.

You have a talent for ad-libs.

I told you before to keep your hands off Shiori!

She chose this for herself.

Don't say that...

Fine. I won't say anything more. Don't say that...

Fine. I won't say anything more.

You understand it more than any other person.

Next Episode

I've heard the rumors that Miss Arisugawa loves Shiori, but...

Do you understand what that means?

Outsiders can never understand.

Huh?

The meaning of "love" varies from person to person.

Um, I don't mean it to be so general.

What I'm really asking is, well...

Next time, on Revolutionary Girl Utena,

"Azure Paler Than the Sky."
