Once upon a time, years and years ago...

...there was a little princess, and she was very sad...

...for her mother and father had died.

Before the princess appeared a traveling prince...

...riding upon a white horse.

He had a regal bearing and a kind smile.

The prince wrapped the princess in a rose-scented embrace...

...and gently wiped the tears from her eyes.

"Little one," he said, "who bears up alone in such deep sorrow."

"Never lose that strength or nobility, even when you grow up."

"I give you this to remember this day."

"We'll meet again, won't we?"

"This ring will lead you to me, one day."

Perhaps the ring the prince gave her was an engagement ring.

This was all well and good, but so impressed was she by him...

...that the princess vowed to become a prince herself one day.

But was that really such a good idea?

The Prince Who Runs Through the Night

The Prince Who Runs Through the Night Hello?

Yes.

I was looking at the stars.

I didn't want to look at the real ones.

Did you get tonight's roses?

I can't believe how much fun I had today!

I don't remember the last time I enjoyed myself this much.

I feel like I've ridden every ride I could ever want.

I wish Himemiya could have come with us.

Being left by herself, she couldn't have had this much fun.

Did I ever mention that I was an only child...?

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

The stars out tonight are so-o-o pretty!

All of you listeners out there...

...should go to the window and see them!

The beautiful autumn constellations...

...are twinkling in the sky.

A night for couples to glimpse eternity.

And now, it's quiz time!

Dum-da-DAA!

What does it mean to be "eternal"?

THAT'S an eternal mystery.

So, who's our first contestant for tonight?

Let's see... He writes to us... under the pen name of "End of the World."

Weird name, huh?

All right, let's give him a call!

Yes?

Good evening. Is this Mr. End of the World?

Yes.

Are you listening to our show right now?

Of course.

Ooh, he sounds sexy, folks!

Thanks for your postcard.

So, what do you do for a living, Mr. End of the World?

I work for a school.

I also have another job on the side.

Isn't it against the rules to have a side job when you work for a school?

Yes, well, it'll work out as long as no one catches me.

Thank you very much!

Anyway, it's time for the quiz!

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

Multiple choice!

Which of the following is "eternal"?

One, a diamond. Two, a beautiful memory.

Three, canned peaches.

It would have to be...

Be what?

Excuse me.

I have another call.

Huh?! But we're on the air! I have another call.

Huh?! But we're on the air!

I'm here... Yeah... Yeah...

Gotcha. On my way.

Sorry, but I have to go to work.

Job? Which one?

The side job.

STOP STOP STOP

What is that?!

Come! Come with us!

Follow us to the world you seek!

The Rose Bride belongs to me!

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?

Exactly!

What did you see?!

The world...

Is it because something eternal exists there?

You believe you can find eternal friendship, perhaps?

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

Maybe...

I don't remember it that well.

That night, someone came to her and saved her from that coffin.

The Morning Star.

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

Akio showed the girl something eternal...

...and saved her.

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!

Mistress Utena...

What is it?

Never mind.

Himemiya...

And the challenger loses by a hair!

Wow, the champ's fighting was superb tonight!

The King of Imposters has been on top for eight weeks now.

Just four more wins and he goes on to challenge...

...for the glory of Grand Champion Imposter King!

Man, that champion's really something, huh?

Think he'll get to be the Grand Champion Imposter King?

I wish I could compete for it.

Oh, can you stand on your own?

Thank you.

But, seeing how we brought you all this way,

the sweet little sister will now politely disappear.

Enjoy yourselves.

Is this letter from that person?

Yeah.

It's from our mother.

Boy, I'm jealous. A letter from your mom.

I don't have parents, so I envy things like that.

We don't need parents.

We're wild animals, after all.

Don't talk like that.

Father and Mother always worry about us so much.

Oh, no...

Now he's getting too serious.

Yes, it was in Mother's letter.

No, Kozue and I aren't against it.

Father, that's up to you.

We won't be able to make the wedding,

but we'll at least send a telegram.

Huh? With who?

No, never mind about our new mother.

Father?

It's fine.

It'd be rude for me to start calling myself his mother so soon.

If dueling means letting some selfish adult use me,

then I won't do it!

Jeez, she has it out for me!

Everyone calls that teacher "Alum."

I'm not really clear on why they call her that,

but everyone used to call her "The Teacup," and before that...

Hm... What was it?

What was it?

Oh, crap! I left the bread out from this morning!

I wonder if Himemiya put it away in the refrigerator.

If you don't put it back in the plastic bag it starts to smell.

What's to be embarrassed about?

If she's important to you, make her yours.

I just want you to be happy, Miki.

What's brought this on?

I'm always completely honest with my feelings.

I never lie.

When everything around you is impure...

...you'll have to become impure as well.

The only way to get what you want is to lose your purity.

Miss Himemiya!

What kind of "amazing power"?

Kozue! What are you doing?!

I wonder what made Mickey suddenly want to duel me.

Who knows?

Kozue!

Pay attention, or you'll lose.

After all, Mickey is more...

More... what?

What's with you?!

Coward!

Yes?

Hello. Is this Mr. End of the World?

Yes.

We finally got him back!

You know, taking that other call while we were on air...

...and then hanging up wasn't very nice!

I'm sorry. It was an emergency.

Well, if you're up for it, let's go to question two!

We're still doing that?

Those are the rules.

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

Multiple choice.

Which of the following is a "miracle"?

One, Edison's inventions. Two, meeting a prince.

Three, canned coelacanth!

Miracles? I see...

Miraculous power...

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

but I guess my hopes were too high.

I thought it was you, Captain.

Please...

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

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.

TSUCHIYA RUKA I'm just living a normal life right now.

TSUCHIYA RUKA

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

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...

I tend to mess up measurements.

Like, recently, I cooked the wrong amount of macaroni...

...and ended up filling a huge pot with it.

And it's worse when you do that with seasonings.

If you don't watch it,

you'll add too much and then the meal's ruined.

You turn a meal for three into a meal for ten!

And you can't undo it once it's done.

Well, you can tell yourself you'll save it for later.

For hamburgers or lunches or something.

You can't do it with stew, though.

I can try and follow a recipe exactly,

but no matter how I try, it never really seems to taste right.

Why is that?

Huh?! Now I'm losing!

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

Yes! I polished your sword every day!

I did it all for you!

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

Your performance was amusing.

You have a talent for ad-libs.

Juri... Why?

He apparently knew how sick he was.

But he still insisted on leaving the hospital to go back to school.

There must have been a girl in the fencing club that he loved.

That reminds me. He used to say something a lot.

Juri... It'll be all right...

He wanted to give...

It'll be all right, Juri...

...the power of miracles to the one he loved.

He wanted to free her from something.

Miracles happen every day.

We just don't notice them.

Um, we can tell you're very smart,

but could you please answer the question?

Answer?

Listen. Today was...

I can't believe we played around till this late.

I have to make my lunch for tomorrow as soon as we get back.

Let's see...

What should I have?

We have some salmon left over.

Some salmon, and...

And, uh... I can boil up some asparagus.

An omelette would be quick to make.

You see, usually...

I just whip something up with the dinner leftovers.

There's two servings for Himemiya and me...

Oh, great... What will I do?

I can't think of anything else.

Salmon, asparagus, an omelette...

What else?

What should I do?

Hey... What do you think I should make?

Maybe a sandwich?

I can mix the salmon and the asparagus with some mayonnaise.

Mash in some hard-boiled egg...

I don't know. What should I do?

This is no good...

Isn't there anything else?

I can't remember...

We left all that food out, too.

I hope it's still good to eat.

We... We always put it away in the refrigerator...

Today...

Tell me...

STOP STOP STOP What is eternity...?

What is eternity...?

Anthy?

Yes.

What are you doing?

I was looking at the stars.

It's a beautiful, starry night tonight.

There's no reason to be in the planetarium.

I didn't want to look at the real ones.

Did you get tonight's roses?

Yes, I got them.

Well done.

The stars tonight were beautiful, weren't they?

I never expected we'd end up doing what we did.

All I came to do today was deliver roses...

Ancient times. Perfection. taiko kanzen

Isolation in the desert. sabaku ni kodoku

Atmosphere. Atom. kuuki genshi

Causality star. inga ritsuboshi

Yes, a child of earth is conceived. sou tochi no ko jutai

Ah, it is empty movement. aa kudou nari

Just empty movement. sora kudou nari

Empty... nari

This was where it all began.

That day, that encounter...

A light sealed away...

The prince gave me this... and I became who I am now.

The sad prince...

When I look at this, I remember.

He told me to never lose my nobility!

But who, exactly, are you?

Next time, on Revolutionary Girl Utena,

"The Rose Seal."

The Rose Seal "The Rose Seal."
