Look at this.

Yes.

We're down to one last black rose.

Yes.

Tokiko...

Your brother's sins are deep.

But true eternity will built upon the sacrifice of those 100 young Duelists.

Is it true?! You did this?!

You were behind this?!

Yes...

Why...?

Why did you do this?!

She's strong.

Utena Tenjou, I mean.

Yes.

I sense immeasurable strength within her.

Yes.

Look at this.

We're down to one last black rose.

Yes. We're down to one last black rose.

Yes.

I just can't find it.

A winning scenario...

Must I get her to join me?

Get Utena Tenjou to join us?

Yes. We don't exactly know who is moving against us.

Right now, we need help from The Engaged.

But don't you hate her, Nanami?

I don't like her, but this is a threat to the student council!

When you consider the situation, we need her as a friend.

I'm so smart!

Big Brother, your little Nanami will save the student council!

Still, all this talk about "friends"...

Even we aren't what you'd call friends.

Then, what are we?

What we are...

...are Duelists.

The Terms of a Duelist

She's not here...

Or here...

Or here, either!

Himemiya, where'd you go?

If she's not here, I'm out of places to check.

Maybe I shouldn't have blown up at her yesterday.

Man, it's tough having "The Rose Bride" as a friend!

It smells nice in here.

Oh, Mikage...

The gentle scent of a single blossom is nice,

but I also enjoy the scent of many at once.

It's exciting, how they compete with one another...

Have you seen Himemiya anywhere?

I don't know. Who is that?

A classmate.

She's been missing since this morning.

You're very concerned for your friend. She's been missing since this morning.

You're very concerned for your friend.

It's not that, but...

Did you think over what we discussed before?

What we discussed before...?

About you joining the Mikage Seminar.

Well, I mean... Why do you want me?

You have a mysterious charm...

To be honest, I'm attracted to you.

If possible, I'd like to get closer to you.

Oh, so that's what it is... If possible, I'd like to get closer to you.

Oh, so that's what it is...

Kind of a bold way to tell me, though...

I'd be happy if you just came by to visit.

And, if we become friends,

I'll help you any time you need me to.

Well, I'd be happy to visit you...

But, well... I'm not really having any trouble...

...s0 I don't need any help.

Besides, if I came to visit, Chu-Chu would come with me.

He gets cookie crumbs everywhere.

It's really hard to clean up after him.

Huh?

It doesn't have to be you personally.

Is anyone close to you having some problems?

Friends with problems?

Friends with problems...

Let's see...

Please, don't open it.

This coffin is for me.

Living on... It's just making me sick.

Why does everyone go on living if they all have to die someday?

Why didn't I realize it before today?

There's no such thing as something eternal.

Himemiya... She came back.

Hey, Himemiya...

You can't quit being the Rose Bride, can you?

Friends with problems, huh...?

Excuse me!

Excuse me!

Anybody home?

Hello?!

Oh, I'm so tired...

Why am I so sleepy lately?

You have a visitor in the entrance hall.

Thank you. I'll be there shortly.

Well, I have a car waiting for me. I'll be going now.

I see.

Thank you for all your work.

Having me dismissed so suddenly... You haven't changed at all.

You're the same as when we first met.

"Be my secretary," you suddenly asked.

Well, it doesn't matter now.

I can let my hair down now that I'm free of your yoke.

When you looked at me, I always wondered how I appeared to you.

You are who you are.

You really are a special person.

Maybe one of the chosen.

But the one I fell in love with wasn't a younger boy like you.

lam who I am.

Well then, goodbye.

Huh...?

Kanae...

And Kozue, too.

What is all this...?

The path to the Dueling Arena has been opened.

Soon it will all begin.

With this, Professor Nemuro's work is finished.

We'll probably carry on without him.

That's what that man is probably planning.

Surely even he will lose to someone.

And then we will carry on without him.

Come. Let's open the champagne.

They're so selfish.

Opening the way to that area where...

...the castle appears was your doing, wasn't it?

They all fear you.

They think eternity is almost in your grasp.

I will not duel with them.

Why? Don't you want the power to revolutionize the world?

That castle is where eternity dwells.

Eternity means "to last forever," doesn't it?

For years... Decades...

Centuries... Millennia...

Millions of years... Billions of years...

Epoch upon epoch, age upon age...

My life may only be a fraction of an instant.

But eternity is that instant lasting for millions upon millions of years.

Never ending...

I want eternity!

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...

You finally came.

I thought you would eventually return to me.

Tokiko...

You don't have to regret abandoning me.

Mikage... You...?

Mikage... You've been manipulating everyone?!

Manipulating them? Hardly.

These are all members of the Mikage Seminar.

They all had memories they couldn't forget.

Very, very precious memories.

And they all fought to preserve those memories.

In short, they were people...

...who tried to change their lives according to their memories.

Memories...?

And what about you?

We'll meet again, won't we? My prince...

We'll meet again...

Until that day, I won't cry.

No matter what happens, I'll be strong.

Like me, you should be able to make your memories eternal.

The world requires it.

The path you must take has been prepar-

You son of a bitch!

Who exactly is "the world"?!

Don't assume I'm a manipulative monster like you!

No need to get excited.

You seem to be screaming, "Don't touch my precious memories!"

I'm what?! Don't pretend that you understand me!

My memories are...!

I see...

Your memories are all that have supported you till now.

Don't be ashamed of that.

The memories you hold are worthy ones.

Only those who hold beautiful memories are allowed to wish.

To wish for that time to go on and on...

To wish to never change from what you were.

I, too, understand...

You're just like me.

You never stop wishing that your memories can be made eternal.

You can see it in our eyes.

Interview Room

Interview Room I challenge you!

Meet me in the Dueling Arena at sunset!

I'll tear you apart!

I'll prove that I'm nothing like you!

IN USE

Souji, why did you call her here?

Why won't you speak?

What's so funny?

Here, look at this.

Tears.

Tears?

It seems that pain has brought forth an unintended tear.

If she hadn't seen my Rose Seal,

she might have killed me right then and there.

You seem to be enjoying this.

Dammit... All she does is hurt me and surprise me.

Tokiko really has come back to me.

To settle things once and for all.

You intend to accept her challenge?

In the end, we haven't advanced a bit in all this time.

But that girl is closer to the Power of Dios than either of us.

If we don't beat her, we'll never advance.

I take this rose which blooms at the End of the World...

...UNTO ME!

You never stop wishing that your memories can be made eternal.

You can see it in our eyes.

Utena!

Come on! Have you forgotten all about...

...your good ol' best friend, Wakaba?

No, I haven't.

No matter what happens,

I'm always on your side, Utena!

Extra! Extra! Extra!

When I was your age, I was the representative for my class!

Wow! That's great, Daddy!

Hey! This paperwork's all wrong! What's with you?!

Dammit... I used to be the class rep!

Dear, you can't just throw your socks anywhere...

...when you take them off!

Dammit... I used to be the class rep!

Bye, Daddy! I'm off to school!

Hold it! Gimme that backpack!

I'M going to school!

See ya later!

Grant me the power to bring the world revolution!

You met someone important to you in the past as well, didn't you?! Oh, where am I and when am I?

And that person changed your life, right?! Oh, where am I and when am I?

Spells, charms, mysteries, prayers, me.

You stand here because of that illusion! Spells, charms, mysteries, prayers, me.

That's why you can enter the Dueling Arenal! Spells, charms, mysteries, prayers, me.

Am I wrong?! Stage, destiny, magic, mirror.

Stage, destiny, magic, mirror.

In the end, you and I are the same! Stage, destiny, magic, mirror.

I will defeat you, Tokiko! Full moon. Mysterious...

You're not making sense!

You're not making sense! ...and ever-changing.

I'm not losing to you! ...and ever-changing.

I am an imaginary life form at my end.

You're a stubborn girl, Tokiko. I am an imaginary life form at my end.

I am an imaginary life form at my end.

Full moon. Mysterious...

You won't understand unless I scatter that rose on your breast. Full moon. Mysterious...

You won't understand unless I scatter that rose on your breast.

...and ever-changing.

I am an imaginary destined form at my end.

Asking for time.

I knew you'd jump! Asking for time.

Damn! Never resting.

Never resting.

Mistress Utena! Living on, a hollow form.

Living on, a hollow form.

Mistress Utena! Living on, a hollow form.

Himemiya!

HIMEMIYAL!!!

MISTRESS UTENA! Seeking land. No arms, no legs.

Seeking land. No arms, no legs.

Yet I still exist. Formless and transparent.

Souji, you're going to lose. Yet I still exist. Formless and transparent.

Souji, you're going to lose. I let out a faint sigh...

Mamiya!

She will scatter the rose you wear.

What?! Where are you?! Mamiya!

Mamiya!

Mamiya!

What the...?!

Who's...?!

You can't beat her.

My sister who dwells in your memories... You'll never defeat her.

Tokiko!

Eternity is within my reach!

I will defeat you and gain the power to change the world!

With my own hands!

Why won't you understand me?!

I took everything upon myself!

Even your brother's crime!

Souji... Take a good look!

Back then, in that place, who was really there?

Who wasn't there?!

Who was it that really set the fire?!

Mamiya...

It's been such a long time...

It's been decades since I saw you...

Ah, Mr. Nemuro.

I was expecting this call.

Yes. Your companion Mamiya,

who was produced by your lingering regret over Tokiko,

actually died a long time ago.

You treasured that illusion of memory so much that it stopped time for you.

I made use of that.

The time you spent not growing up...

...as you kept possibilities hidden in your heart proved useful to me, but...

...that's all over now.

The path you must take has not been prepared for you.

Now graduate from this place.

Aw, man.

We ended up someplace weird while looking for Himemiya.

There was a big fire here a long time ago.

Wow... Something that terrible really happened here?

No one was hurt in it, but...

Well, it was a long time before the student council existed.

No records remain from it.

Now, what was the building called again...?

Kushiro Memorial Hall...?

I don't think that's right.

Himemiya? Where are you? I don't think that's right.

Himemiya? Where are you? Noboribetsu Memorial Hall...?

Himemiya? Where are you? Ooh...! I hate it when I can't remember stuff!

Ooh...! I hate it when I can't remember stuff!

What's wrong?

Do you feel sympathy for him?

But he isn't here at this school anymore.

Rather, he never really was in the first place.

Just like you...

Oh, my! How awful!

Huh? What's this notebook?

Whoa, hold it. You shouldn't just look in other people's notebooks.

Oh, my goodness! Look at all the awful things written in here!

Which is why you shouldn't be looking at it!

Oh, my! I had no idea!
