Episode 25 (9/17/1997)
|
『ふたりの永遠黙示録』
"Futari no Eien Mokushiroku"
[The Eternal Apocalypse of the Two of Us]
|
---|
Utena and Anthy take up residence in Akio's tower. The
Student Council receive their first letter from the Ends of the
World in some time. However, Saionji says he won't fight any
more Duels because he doesn't trust the Ends of the World, which
deceived him once.
As it turns out, Miki confirms as true what is stated in the new
letter- a gondola (elevator) has been installed within the
pillar of the caracole that leads to the Duel Arena.
Later, Touga informs Saionji that there's someone he wishes
Saionji to meet; this person is Akio. Touga explains that Akio
is the one who showed 'something eternal' to the girl in her
coffin ten years ago, saving her life. As they drive about, Akio
promises to likewise show Saionji the Ends of the World.
Immediately the next day, Saionji (looking almost deranged)
abruptly makes a grab for Anthy and challenges Utena to a Duel,
because now that he has seen the Ends of the World, he
understands that the Rose Bride has no will of her own. Utena is
angered, and accepts the challenge after Saionji slaps Miki
brusquely.
(New ascension sequence! It's even cooler than the first!)
They meet in the Arena as usual; Saionji's arrival is heralded
by a flash of headlights. As the fight progresses, an empty car
races around the combatants, and car hoods burst out from the
Arena floor. Utena is in the middle of defending herself when
she draws back and the Sword of Dios evaporates from her
hands. Not only herself, but Akio and Touga who are observing
remotely are shocked by this.
Utena is forced to defend herself weaponless against Saionji,
and Anthy watches without feeling. But something stirs in the
Rose Bride, and she suddenly grabs Utena and pulls her to
safety. Then, she draws the Sword of Dios from Utena's body (!)
and the fight resumes.
Utena wins the Duel. But Anthy meets with Akio, later that
night, in the planetarium... and Akio is not at all pleased with
the turn of events...
