OP         Heroically, with bravery
OP         I'll go on with my life,
OP         just a long, long time.
OP         But if the two of us should get split up
OP         by whatever means,
OP         let go of me,
OP         Take my revolution.
Title      Utena ~ La Fillette Revolutionnaire
OP         In the sunny garden, we held each other's hands,
OP         drew close together and soothed each other with the
	   words,
OP         "Neither of us will ever fall in love again."
OP         Everytime
OP         Into this photograph of us
OP         smiling cheek to cheek,
OP         I took a bit of loneliness,
OP         and crammed it inside.
OP         Revolution!
OP         Even in my dreams, even through my tears,
OP         even though I'm being hurt,
OP         reality is approaching now, frantically.
OP         What I want now is to find out
OP         just where I belong,
OP         and my self-worth, up through today.
OP         Heroically, I'll throw away
OP         my clothes 'til I'm nude,
OP         like the roses dancing all around me, whirling
	   free.
OP         But if the two of us should get split up
OP         by whatever means,
OP         I swear to you, I will change the world.



Mikage     How is it that this rose...
Mikage     can flower here in the bowels of the earth, where the
	   sun never shines?
Mamiya     Because my black rose is absorbing the darkness.
Mamiya     Say, Sempai...
Mamiya     I've heard that Student Council President Kiryuu has
	   been absent from school lately.
Mamiya     It would explain why the academy has been so quiet
	   recently.
Mikage     Well, that's good.
Mikage     A proper academy should be a peaceful place for study.
taitoru    The Boys of the Black Rose
Anthy      Then, if you'll excuse me.
Utena      I'm home, Chuchu!
Utena      My class had a party, it being Saturday and all.
Utena      Your master should have been there, too.
Utena      She's always so unsociable...
Utena      I'm home, Himemiya!
Utena      What, she's not here?
Utena      It's leftovers from the party.
Utena      Man, I'm tired.
Utena      Come to think of it, I hardly ever see Himemiya on
	   Saturday night.
Utena      Chuchu, do you know something about that?
Anthy      Oh, Utena-sama.
Utena      Hi. Where have you been?
Anthy      At school.
Utena      I see.
Utena      It seems like you're never around most weekend
	   nights. Is something going on?
Anthy      Yes, because I've been told that we should meet at
	   least once a week.
Utena      Meet who?
Anthy      My older brother.
Utena      Ohh...
Utena      What?! You have a brother?!
Utena      Excuse us!
Utena      Oops, wrong floor.
Anthy      No, this is the place.
Utena      So, this is the Trustee Chairman's Office...
Utena      Looks like a tough place to keep clean.
Utena      That's huge! Is this your brother?
Anthy      No, this is a planetarium projector.
Utena      Huh?
Anthy      Utena-sama?
Utena      Shh...
Utena      Bad timing, Himemiya. They're making out.
Utena      Let's split before we get in the way.
Akio       Pleased to meet you. I'm Ohtori Akio.
Utena      Pardon me. I'm Tenjou Utena. Pardon me.
Akio       Not at all. It was good of you to come.
Akio       I'm glad because this is the first time my sister has
	   introduced a friend of hers to me.
Utena      No way... You're Ohtori Academy's -
Akio       No. I'm just the Deputy Trustee Chairman.
Akio       The real Trustee Chairman is Kanae-san's father.
Kanae      My father is quite taken with Akio-san,
Kanae      and he intends to let me marry him as soon as I've
	   graduated high school.
Utena      Well, congratulations.
Akio       I keep telling her it's too soon, but...
Utena      I never knew the Trustee Chairman's Office was like
	   this.
Akio       In truth, I'm best suited to spending my time watching
	   the sky.
Utena      You like the stars, then?
Kanae      So much so that it's almost abnormal.
Kanae      And it's been rumored that he was adopted into my
	   family just for this equipment.
Kanae      I hear he stayed here again last night.
Akio       Stars are nice.
Akio       Look through the telescope at those familiar stars, and
	   you can see the true faces that no one knows.
Kanae      Remember me too once in a while, okay?
Akio       If I discover a comet, I'll name it after you.
Kanae      Really, you're such a hopeless guy.
Akio       I haven't been here long, but there is one thing I do
	   know...
Akio       The students of this academy are all free, have a love
	   of learning,
Akio       and above all, do not fight.
Akio       Right?
Utena      I hope it always stays that way.
Kanae      Nothing bad ever happens at Ohtori Academy.
Anthy      Well then, if you'll excuse us, Kanae-san...
Kanae      Say...
Kanae      It's okay for you to call me Sis, since I really will
	   be your big sister very soon.
Anthy      All right.
Professor  Thank you, Mikage-kun.
Professor  Thanks to your paper, our research lab was selected as
	   the consultative body.
Mikage     That wasn't my paper, but rather yours, Professor.
Professor  Hey, hurry up with the gift!
Professor  My wife went to a spa a few days ago, and she insisted
	   I give you this.
Professor  Hey.
Professor  Sorry for the runaround...
Professor  This might not be enough, but we'd like you to accept
	   it.
Mikage     There's no need to pay me.
Mikage     Instead, I may ask you for your help someday soon.
Mikage     I'll be counting on you then.
Professor  Of course, we'll cooperate with you in whatever way we
	   can.
Professor  So that was the charismatic high schooler who hosts the
	   Mikage Seminar.
Professor  What an overpowering presence! I was scared stiff.
Professor  The Mikage Seminar, also known as the Black Rose
	   Society...
Professor  It's not just a rumor that there's even a career
	   bureaucrat who's a member.
Professor  As recipients of his favor, we college faculty can't
	   say it's anyone else's business.
Professor  Genius high schooler, Mikage Souji...
Mikage     So tell me, have you thought about our last
	   conversation?
Miki       Y- Yes...
Mikage     I could hardly wait. So?
Miki       I deeply appreciate your kind offer,
Miki       but I'm afraid I'm unworthy of your seminar,
	   Mikage-sempai.
Mikage     I see.
Mikage     An excellent intellect like yours would have been just
	   the thing I was looking for.
Mikage     But, if that's your position, okay.
Mikage     Tell me if you ever change your mind. You won't regret
	   it.
Miki       Thank you very much. See you later.
Anthy      Thank you very much, Utena-sama.
Utena      Huh? What for?
Anthy      For not telling my brother about my secrets.
Utena      Oh, that.
Anthy      I don't want him to know about anything that might
	   worry him.
Anthy      Like me being the Rose Bride, or the Duellist's Code...
Utena      I get it.
Utena      It's best for us to keep these things secret from your
	   brother.
Utena      Kanae-san looks to be a nice person, too. It'd be a
	   shame if they got caught up in it.
Utena      Now, let's go home.
Miki       Oh, Tenjou-sempai, Himemiya-san!
Utena      Micky!
Anthy      Hello.
Miki       Don't you have today off?
Utena      We went to see Himemiya's brother.
Miki       I see... the Trustee Chairman, hmm?
Utena      How about you, Micky? What are you up to?
Miki       Well, I had to do some research in the archives here...
Utena      Wow, you even like studying on holidays!
Utena      I never even knew this place existed.
Miki       You don't know about Nemuro Memorial Hall?
Miki       It's a building with quite a history behind it.
Utena      A history?
Miki       It's said that a hundred boys were buried alive here a
	   long time ago.
Mikage     Say, Mamiya... it seems that you're eligible to be the
	   Rose Bride.
Mamiya     Don't you mean "Groom?" I am a boy.
Mikage     "Bride" suits you better.
Mikage     I will definitely make you a real bride.
Mikage     And then I'll obtain the Power of Dios and make the
	   secret of eternity ours.
Mamiya     If you say so, Sempai.
Mikage     It's all right. We've been acknowledged by the Ends of
	   the World.
Mikage     But to do all that,
Mikage     we must defeat Tenjou Utena and obtain Himemiya Anthy,
Mikage     and then we must kill her.
Mamiya     Then we'll need a skillful Duelist.
Kanae      Excuse me. I have an interview appointment today...
placard     If you are to be interviewed, please fill in this form
	   and wait - Nemuro Memorial Hall
paper       Nemuro Memorial Hall Interview Application Form Please
	   answer the following questions.
paper       Name --- Ohtori Kanae Age --- 18 Sex --- Female Address ---



finger     INTERVIEW CHAMBER
doorknobsi  OCCUPIED
Kanae      I am Ohtori Kanae, from Grade 12, Class A.
Mikage     Then, please begin.
Kanae      As soon as I graduate next spring, I will be getting
	   married.
Kanae      He is someone that my father, the Trustee Chairman,
	   recommended.
Kanae      He... He's very gentle, and can be a little childish,
	   but...
Kanae      In fact, he's so much more mature than I am, and he
	   watches over me ever so kindly.
Kanae      I would do anything for him.
Kanae      I believe this from the bottom of my heart.
Kanae      But... But...
Mikage     Deeper...
Mikage     Go deeper...
Kanae      But...
Kanae      But, he has a younger sister,
Kanae      and no matter how hard I try, I can't bring myself to
	   like her.
Kanae      There was this incident...
Kanae      When I gave her my cherished scarf and told her to use
	   it,
Kanae      she said "Thank you," and began wiping her glasses with
	   it!
Kanae      I was so surprised, and when I told her it wasn't a
	   lens cloth,
Kanae      she simply stared at me silently and smiled.
Kanae      The sight of her eyes made my skin crawl, because she
	   looked totally like an alien!
Kanae      And my father...
Kanae      I can't help but feel that my father's illness started
	   when that freak came to our house.
Kanae      I'm not sure if I can keep smiling around her any
	   longer.
Kanae      Up until now I've done my best to like her...
Kanae      But I just can't!
Kanae      No matter how hard I try...
Kanae      I CAN'T!
Mikage     I understand. I suppose you have no choice but to
	   revolutionize the world.
Mikage     The way before you has been prepared.
Kanae      Where am I?
Mikage     This is a holy land,
Mikage     a sacred place where a hundred Duelists are sleeping.
Mikage     This room leads to the ends of the world.
Mikage     Student Identification, D-13.
Mikage     Take a look.
Mikage     This Rose Signet... See, it's black.
Mikage     When its bearer dies, it changes color like this.
Mikage     But I think black is more beautiful.
Mamiya     You can't run away now.
Mamiya     Because you have been chosen... by my Black Rose.
Mamiya     This is your new heart... and your new life.
Mamiya     Here's one of the roses blooming at the ends of the
	   world...
Mamiya     ...for you!
Mikage     A Black Rose Signet...
Wakaba     Isn't there anything fun to do?
Utena      Hey, we had a party last Saturday.
Wakaba     Not like that... something more exciting!
Wakaba     Our academy's just too darned peaceful.
Wakaba     I wish something surprising would happen.
ka-do      To the one Engaged: I shall wait for you at the Duel
	   Arena this evening.
Cko        Extra! Extra! Extra!
Cko        At last, at last, at last!
Cko        At last, that which I feared has come to pass!
Cko        Earlier than for other people.
Cko        My big sis is advanced for her age.
Cko        Okay, say "Ahh."
Cko        Ahhhhhhh!!
Cko        What should we do about this wisdom tooth?
Cko        Ahhhhhhh!!
Cko        Oh, what should I do?
Utena      Have it pulled?

Utena      What's this?
Utena      What the...
Utena      Who's there!?
Kanae      I swear by this black rose...
Kanae      that I shall win this Duel,
Kanae      and bring death to the Rose Bride!
Utena      Kan- Kanae-san...
Utena      Why?
Anthy      That is not her normal self.
Kanae      This is my true self,
Kanae      the other me which slumbered within...
Kanae      As long as I have this black rose, I don't have to play
	   the false me anymore.
Utena      Because of that black rose?
Kanae      Now then, Tenjou Utena, draw your sword!
Kanae      Otherwise, the Rose Bride will be mine!
WIPC       They can be divine spirits, they can be evil spirits
WIPC       Ah, even if Heaven's vapors were brought here...
WIPC       Secret thoughts can also be virtue! They can also be
	   vice!
Utena      ...the power to revolutionize the world!
WIPC       Ah, even if Hell's bewitching atmosphere were carried
	   here...
WIPC       As long as such suspicious forms do come,
WIPC       they shall have a dialogue!
Kanae      How feeble! Put more effort into it!
Utena      Kanae-san, you just said...
Utena      you swore by that black rose that you'd win this Duel
	   and...
WIPC       On a moonlight night already severely cold,
Kanae      ...and bring death to the Rose Bride!
WIPC       might a spirit leave its body!
Utena      Fine. I see how it is.
Utena      In that case, I won't hold back.
WIPC       A mystery beyond the ken of humans,
Kanae      What?
WIPC       and humanity, dwarfed by their Creator,
WIPC       is made to tremble in fear at the sight!
Mikage     So that's the Duelist Tenjou Utena...
Mikage     Now I see.
Mikage     She's good enough for the Ends of the World to stake
	   everything upon her.
Mikage     No makeshift Duelist whose mind is simply frozen would
	   be able to defeat her.
Anthy      So, Utena-sama...
Anthy      Utena-sama?
Anthy      I'm going out now.
Utena      Oh yeah, today's the day you see your brother. See you
	   later.
Anthy      Uh, Himemiya?
Anthy      How's Kanae-san been since then?
Anthy      Well, she's all better now.
Utena      That's good.
Utena      And she really doesn't remember anything?
Anthy      No, nothing at all before the Duel.
Utena      I see. Then, I guess she can't explain what happened to
	   her.
Utena      In any case, I'm sorry I had to hurt someone who's
	   going to be your sister.
Anthy      Please don't let it trouble you.
Anthy      It isn't your fault, Utena-sama.
Utena      Thanks. Sorry about keeping you.
Utena      Oh, and say hi to your brother for me.
Anthy      Sure.
Utena      Hey Chuchu, you're still here.
Utena      Aren't you going with her?
Akio       Come here, Anthy.
Akio       Were you lonely this week?
Anthy      Yes, Onii-sama.

Utena      Micky's sister, Kaoru Kozue-chan.
Utena      Wow, they really are twins.
Utena      It must be nice to have a brother or a sister... being
	   an only child, I'm jealous.
Anthy      Yes, it is nice having a brother.
Utena      But, the Duelists with the black roses still concern
	   me.
Anthy      It seems like someone is controlling their hearts.
Utena      Kozue-chan, why are you in that outfit?
Utena      Oh, no... not you, too?
