End of the World

Where...?

The prince...

Yes.

The prince.

So, you were End of the World all along!

You were the cause of everything that's happened!

You figured that out long ago.

But I am still your prince.

You've come here for the purpose of being with me.

I want to know what you're after.

What I'm after?

Your reason for making everyone duel each other!

The reason for what you're doing at this school!

How valiant...

What have you been dreaming about lately?

All I ever dream about is the castle.

Castle?

Yes.

The castle where a prince and princess...

...will live happily ever after, forever and ever.

I am the prince.

And you... the princess.

Himemiya!

Don't panic.

Anthy is over there...

As I promised,

that ring eventually did lead you back here to me.

You really have done well not to lose that noble heart I saw.

I wasn't wrong about you...

Beautiful...

As your noble heart has led you this far,

you've proven yourself to truly be my princess.

A sword is unsuited for you from now on.

I shall now take up this sword.

And from this day forward, I shall protect you.

And then what?

We'll be happy.

Eternity will be ours...

...and we shall love each other forever.

And together, as prince and princess, we'll live in the castle...

...forever and ever.

What's wrong?

We'll be living happily in the castle,

but what will happen to Himemiya?

She will remain the Rose Bride.

Forever.

ou're ru nni a Ing ning aw y Y Pd

Just let me go!

You're just going to run?!

Don't we have a date to drink tea and laugh together in 10 years?!

Forgive me, Mistress Utena!

Forgive me...!

Because I'm the Rose Bride...

Because I'm a heartless doll...

I thought no matter what happened to my body,

I wouldn't feel the pain on the inside.

Forgive me, Mistress Utena.

The pain I feel comes with the curse of being the Rose Bride.

But... The pain I caused you...!

You were swept up into all this against your will.

And even knowing that, I...!

I used you for your innocence.

I took advantage of your kindness.

Forgive me, Mistress Utena.

I've been unfair to you...

I'm a dishonest woman...

I've betrayed you from the very beginning.

No...

I... I never realized the pain you were in.

I never noticed how much you were suffering.

And despite that, I...!

I kept acting like I was a noble prince who would save you!

The truth is, my protecting you was just for my ego!

And the night I learned about you and Akio...!

I thought that you had betrayed me.

Even though you were suffering so much...

After I had said we should help each other, no matter what...!

I'm the one who's unfair!

I'm the one who's dishonest...

I was the one who betrayed you...

It doesn't matter now.

Just leave this school.

Forget about everything that happened here!

You know I can't do that!

That's right.

There's no way I can do that.

What are you doing?!

Girls shouldn't brandish swords like that.

I'm going to free Himemiya from you!

Truly, you are valiant...

I never thought you'd get this far.

What do you mean?

Still, as I said years ago, with the passage of time...

...you've lost the pure soul that wished only to be a prince.

Swords don't really go with dresses, do they?

Looking at you reminds me of what I used to be.

However...

For that reason, you cannot save Anthy.

In the end, both the prince...

...and the castle where eternity dwells are just illusions.

I shall now reveal reality to you.

Reality?

The End of the World.

This is...

Isn't this your room?

A marvelous planetarium, isn't it?

With this equipment, I can project fairy-tale illusions for those with naive wishes,

people seeking the existence of "something eternal" or the "power of miracles."

However, there is no place higher than this room.

This room is the summit of Ohtori Academy.

The summit of the world itself.

I hate this room.

Someone as young as yourself may not see the value it has.

That's why, rather than aspiring to reach the Chairman's Residence,

you chose an illusory castle in the sky instead.

That's not the reason!

This room is where you and Himemiya always...

Always what?

Oh, that? Don't tell me you're angry about that.

Is what I've done really so wrong?

Assuming it is, you're just as bad as I am.

Meaning what?!

Surely you haven't forgotten.

Observe. The memories we share.

You didn't reject me, even though I have a fiancée.

That's a sin, isn't it?

This isn't fair...!

Unfair?

Isn't turning away from the truth and blaming others even more unfair?

Isn't it unfair to pretend only you are noble and in the right?

That's not true! I care about Himemiya!

Oh, yes...

And you never even tried to understand Anthy.

In the end, you were too busy thinking about yourself.

How adorable... You really are a fine woman.

You really should remain a girl.

Once upon a time, reality got the better of you.

You were powerless to stand against it.

You couldn't escape the cruel truth of the world before you.

So you cut yourself off from it.

And the one who saved you from that darkness... was me.

Thanks to me...

...you regained the strength you needed to face the world.

To you, at that time, I was a prince.

However,

I was the same person then as I am now.

Anthy was the Rose Bride then as she is now.

As well as a witch...

It's the same for you.

You were a girl then as you are now.

There's no reason to carry a sword and fight now.

You have become a lovely and noble princess.

Now then, won't you please let me have that sword?

And what will you do with it?

Bring revolution to this world.

Aren't you her brother?!

You're not going to help her?!

Foolish creature...

There never was a prince in the world to begin with.

Didn't you say before that you were a prince?!

Do you know what that is?

The grave of Dios, the prince.

When she became known as a witch,

Dios the prince vanished from this world.

The prince I was no longer exists.

It looks like I have no choice but to fight you!

For Anthy's sake?

I once thought of her as a goddess...

...who sacrificed herself for me. For the one that she loved.

I thought that, once upon a time...

Perhaps that really was true...

But now, she is a witch.

And she now enjoys being a witch.

You made her a witch!

You're wrong. We both love each other.

She can no longer be happy any other way.

If it cannot break its egg's shell...

...a chick will die without being born.

We are the chick.

The world is our egg.

If we don't crack the world's shell...

...we will die without being born.

Smash the world's shell!

For the revolution of the world!

It's begun.

Yes.

Utena Tenjou...

Yes.

I wonder who will win this game in the end.

No one knows the answer to that.

But the final ordeal for her...

The duel named "Revolution," has now begun.

I'm not a Duelist.

Fighting me isn't like playing the dueling game!

I've never just "played" at dueling!

No. You know only of play dueling.

But if you do not draw back your sword now, you will learn...

...just how terrifying a real duel can be.

I won't lose to you!

A child like you cannot understand my ideals.

The Rose Bride exists for ideals you do not understand.

What sort of insane "ideals"...

...make you control other people from this room?!

A child wouldn't understand the value of this room!

The figure of Death, his head shaking.

The rope tightens, the bell rings.

The rooster flaps, the window opened.

The 12 Apostles, like statues!

What value IS there in this room?! The 12 Apostles, like statues!

All it does is torment Himemiya! Unblinking, a grand parade!

Unblinking, a grand parade!

She is the Rose Bride by her own free will! Unblinking, a grand parade!

She is the Rose Bride by her own free will! The ancient orrery, automatic device!

There's no need for you to interfere! The ancient orrery, automatic device!

There's no need for you to interfere! 12 constellations of I, the ecliptic.

12 constellations of I, the ecliptic.

I am the Rose Bride. 12 constellations of I, the ecliptic.

A zodiac. I am the zodiac!

From this day forward, I am your flower. A zodiac. I am the zodiac!

From this day forward, I am your flower.

The truth is, I...

Inside my body is ancient.

Forgive me, Mistress Utena! Inside my body is ancient.

Forgive me, Mistress Utena! There, a hundred towers stand.

There, a hundred towers stand.

Forgive me! My internal organs, an ideal city.

My internal organs, an ideal city.

I'm going to be the one who will free Himemiya from you! My internal organs, an ideal city.

I'm going to be the one who will free Himemiya from you! In the graveyard, church, abbey.

In the graveyard, church, abbey.

Do you understand what you're saying?!

I DO understand!!

The eyeball of Earth.

I'm going to be a prince! The eyeball of Earth.

I'm going to be a prince! An example of motion.

I'm going to be a prince! The intellectual organ of stone.

The intellectual organ of stone.

A dynamic constellation.

The incomplete embryo.

Death's mystery.

Theaters, hospitals, museums.

Manmade flesh. The grotta. The labyrinth.

lllusory construct. Marble.

Manmade clocks. Bells. Springs.

Whirling round and round. Counting time.

From ancient cities to me...

Ending on that day, the 24-hour clock.

The sun showing at noon...

...and at night, the moon.

Our natural 24-hour clock.

Bong, bong! Ding-dong-ding!

Bong, bong! Ding-dong-ding!

The city of flesh, the mystery of the clock.

Geometric law, rigid construction.

Monotony, eternity.

Present, permanence.

The truth of all creation, unending sameness.

Infinite variety.

I will take the form of the city of the human body.

I shall take the form of the clock's edge.

Municipal clock, discovery!

Municipal clock, revelation!

Why...? Municipal clock, revelation!

Municipal clock, annihilation!

Himemiya...!

Why...?

Ancient times. Perfection. taiko kanzen

Isolation in the desert. sabaku ni kodoku

Atmosphere. Atom. kuuki genshi

Causality star. inga ritsuboshi

Jovian heaven. Saturnian heaven. mokusei ten dosei ten

Stellar heaven. Motive heaven. kousei ten gendou ten

And then... saranaru

She got me! Stabbed from behind!
