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.



Aiko       You look pretty as always, Nanami-sama.
Yuuko      There's no match for you in this academy, Nanami-sama.
Keiko      We're really happy being allowed to be with you, Nanami-sama.
title      Troublesome Insects
banners    Ohtori Academy Junior High - Entrance Ceremony -
Yuuko      Hey...
Yuuko      You're in the same class as us, right?
Aiko       If you like, why don't you join our group?
Keiko      Let's be friends.
Touga      It was a wonderful entrance ceremony, Nanami.
Nanami     Onii-sama!
Yuuko      Isn't that Kiryuu Touga-sama?
Aiko       It is, it's Touga-sama, the Student Council President!
Keiko      Then this girl is...
Yuuko      Touga-sama's little sister?!
Trio       It's so dreamy!
Trio       Ah, what a wonderful encounter!
Aiko       It's like, meeting Nanami-sama changed my life.
Keiko      We were lucky we were the first ones to talk to Nanami-sama.
Yuuko      We've got to be grateful. Nanami-sama chose us from
	   among so many students. 
Aiko       Yeah, we were selected to serve Nanami-sama.
Keiko      That's right, Aiko!
Aiko       Keiko, Yuuko!
Aiko       From now on, let's work together and give it our best shot!
Keiko      Right!
Yuuko      We're all the chosen ones.
Trio       Let's do it!
Nanami     I know! A party!
Nanami     Why didn't I come up with it sooner?
Nanami     I'll throw a magnificent party to encourage my brother!
Nanami     And it's got to be really magnificent!
Nanami     As things are, I won't be particular.
Nanami     I'll generously invite all the prominent people in the
	   entire academy! 
boy        Oh, Kiryuu-san, you're on day duty, right?
Nanami     That will definitely cheer up my brother!
boy         Wipe the blackboard, would you?
Keiko      That's a great idea, Nanami-sama!
Yuuko      Touga-sama has really been looking gloomy lately.
Aiko       I'm really touched by your consideration for your
	   brother, Nanami-sama! 
boy        K- Kiryuu-san, the blackboard...
Nanami     Would you all help me with it?
Trio       Yes, gladly!
Juri       A party?
Keiko      Do please attend.
Juri       When the Student Council is in such crisis? Honestly...
Keiko      Please!
Keiko      Please!
Keiko      Please!
Keiko      Nanami-sama really worries about Touga-sama.
Keiko      PLEASE!!!
Keiko      Please!
Keiko      I'll get to see Touga-sama for the first time in a long
	   while. 
Keiko      But I know he won't be looking at a girl like me.
Keiko      Touga-sama, still I...
Keiko      Aiko! Yuuko!
Keiko      For Touga-sama and Nanami-sama, let's work together and
	   get everything ready! 
Yuuko      Yeah, but you seem awfully spirited today, Keiko.
Keiko      Oh, do I?
Yuuko      That's a new dress, right? It looks good on you.
Keiko      Really?
Yuuko      Really! Really! It looks good on her, right, Aiko?
Aiko       Yep, it looks so lovely.
Keiko      Thank you, Yuuko, Aiko!
Nanami     Well?
Nanami     Have the preparations been made?
KIU        Yes, ma'am!
Keiko      We barely made it.
Nanami     Oh, Keiko-san. I have a little favor to ask of you.
Keiko      What is it?
Nanami     I completely forgot I had some paperwork to finish up
	   for the Student Council tonight. 
Nanami     I'm sorry, Keiko-san, but would you get it done for me?
Keiko      But the party...
Nanami     But everything's ready, isn't it?
Keiko      Yea... Yes.
Nanami     Then, there isn't a problem, is there?
Nanami     The paperwork is at the school. So, please go right now.
Keiko      Um, Nanami-sama?
Nanami     Is anything wrong?
Keiko      No.
Nanami     Then, please.
Keiko      Yes, ma'am.
Keiko      I... have always...
Keiko      I have always been watching Touga-sama.
Keiko      Always...
Keiko      The only one who can approach the prince is the
	   princess from the wonder world. 
Keiko      Touga-sama... He lives in a different world from mine.
Keiko      Right. A girl like me...
Utena      Touga looked better than we thought, didn't he?
Miki       But he still doesn't show himself in the academy.
Utena      The way the president is, the Student Council must be
	   in trouble. 
Nanami     Oh, are you so worried about my brother...
Nanami     ...that you sneak around and spy on him?
Nanami     How disgusting.
Utena      Don't be ridiculous! Who did anything like that?!
Keiko      My, my. Are you playing dumb?
Yuuko      You were talking about him just now. What nerve!
Utena      I went to the party because I was invited!
Nanami     My, I just thought, "Even a dead tree may add to the
	   beauty of a mountain," and you got conceited. 
Nanami     What impudent people there are in this world!
Utena      Now look...
Keiko      Why don't you try to think about your own standing?
Aiko&Yuuko I'll say!
Nanami     I can't stand it to even think about a girl like you
	   hanging around my brother. 
Nanami     Right, I won't allow even a single insect to swarm on
	   my brother. 
Nanami     Shall we go, everyone?
Miki       I'm sorry, Tenjou-sempai.
Utena      Don't apologize, Micky. It happens all the time.
Anthy      I'm sorry, um... Was I sleeping? Was I?
Utena      Chuchu was crying all last night, wasn't he?
Utena      You see, the open cluster Pleiades...
Utena      ...is known as Subaru in Japan, and is even
	   mentioned in Sei Shounagon's "Pillow Book." 
Anthy      That's pretty detailed, Utena-sama.
Utena      Well, that's just what Akio-san told me. I've been
	   studying from him closely of late. 
Anthy      I see.
Akio       Wonderful, aren't they? The winter constellations...
Anthy      Onii-sama...
Akio       Friendship is beautiful.
Akio       Castor and Pollux of the Gemini are known to be very
	   friendly with each other, but... 
Akio       The way you're watching the stars together, you look
	   even more beautiful than the Gemini. 
Utena      Oh, that can't be...
Utena      Well, I'm outta here.
Anthy      All right, Utena-sama.
Akio       All right, Anthy, you should continue to be friendly
	   with Utena-san. 
Akio       Just like Castor and Pollux of the Gemini.
Anthy      Yes, Onii-sama.



Keiko      What should I do? Touga-sama is getting soaked.
Keiko      Lend him my umbrella...
Keiko      But a girl like me and Touga-sama?
Keiko      But a chance like this won't come again.
Keiko      Excuse me, Touga-sama?
Keiko      If it's okay, won't you join me?
Keiko      The rain is bad for your health.
Keiko      Nanami-sama? It's me, Nanami-sama.
Keiko      Where are you, Nanami-sama?
Nanami     I'm right here, Keiko-san.
Keiko      Nanami-sama...
Keiko      You said you wanted to see me?
Nanami     Sonoda Keiko-san, you are now dismissed from all clubs,
Nanami     the dorm's self-government association, culture
	   circles, and all the other organizations you belong to. 
Keiko      Why is that, Nanami-sama?
Nanami     Why?!
Nanami     Don't play dumb!
Nanami     How careless I was! The real troublesome insect was
	   right under my feet! 
Nanami     To think that I didn't notice until today!
Keiko      Nanami-sama...
Nanami     I told you, I won't allow even a single insect to swarm
	   on my brother. 
Nanami     I'll thoroughly exterminate all troublesome insects like you.
Keiko      Oh, no...
Nanami     Please prepare yourself, Keiko-san.
Yuuko      Nanami-sama is about to leave.
Aiko       We should leave, too.
Keiko      Yuuko! Aiko!
Keiko      Please, you two intercede with Nanami-sama for me!
Keiko      You're the only ones who can help me!
Keiko      Please!
Yuuko      Did you hear something?
Aiko       Not a thing.
Keiko      I admired Nanami-sama from the bottom of my heart.
Keiko      That's what I believed, and I've been serving her.
Keiko      But actually, that wasn't true.
Keiko      I was only with Nanami-sama to get close to Touga-sama,
	   even the littlest bit. 
Keiko      Without that reason, who'd want to be with her?
Mikage     Deeper... Go deeper.
Keiko      That selfish...
Keiko      I'm a single girl! What's wrong with me falling in love
	   with someone? 
Keiko      Why do I have to hold back because of her?
Keiko      Just because she's Touga-sama's sister, she monopolizes
	   his love. 
Keiko      Even right before my own eyes!
Keiko      And that girl has no idea...
Keiko      ...how I felt all this time!
Keiko      She doesn't even try to understand!
Mikage     I understand.
Mikage     I suppose you have no choice but to revolutionize the world.
Mikage     The way before you has been prepared.
Keiko      Where am I?
Keiko      Touga-sama...
Keiko      Look at me.
Keiko      Touga-sama...
Keiko      Touga-sama!
Keiko      From now on, please look only at me!

C-ko       It's a curse...
Utena      That's a room deodorant.
Utena      You're...
Keiko      I swear by this Black Rose...
Keiko      ...that I shall win this Duel and bring death to the
	   Rose Bride! 
Utena      You're...
Keiko      With this sword, Touga-sama's sword, I will defeat you.
Utena      Touga's sword?
Keiko      For my and Touga-sama's future, I will fight.
Keiko      Now, draw your sword!
Utena      ...the power to revolutionize the world!
Utena      Why are you...
Keiko      You should know well what kind of girl Nanami is.
Keiko      She doesn't even think of a girl like me as a person.
Keiko      Knowing that, I've been serving her anyway.
Utena      But I don't understand - why Touga's sword?
Keiko      You don't need to know!
Keiko      Can you beat this sword, Tenjou Utena?
Keiko      This sword, Touga-sama's sword!
Keiko      The noblest sword in the world!
Keiko      With this sword, I will attain the great power.
Keiko      And then, I will kill that girl!
Keiko      I'll kill that Nanami who stands between Touga-sama and me!
Keiko      That's right. The real troublesome insect is Nanami!
Keiko      I see. That girl is a troublesome insect.
Utena      I don't even know her name.
Utena      I thought she was Nanami's friend.
Utena      It's scary how the roots of one's hatred spread
	   underground, unseen. 
DS21       Vanish! Fade away! Melt away!

DS21       Vanish! Fade away! Melt away!
DS21       Get out of my sight!

DS21       Betrayed by wishes...
DS21       Avenged by hope.
DS21       Periods like this are tedious.
DS21       I will run away.
DS21       Everyone, disappear!
DS21       Even now there's nothing that I want!
DS21       Straddling an unmanned sidecar,
DS21       Daydream journey of three thousand leagues,
DS21       Subway, freeway, runway
DS21       I'm going! At a hundred kilometers per hour...
DS21       A hero, a swift wind, a fugitive.
Mikage     Another failure.
Mikage     But it is interesting, that she called her master an insect.
Keiko      I'm happy only being with you, Nanami-sama.
Keiko      There's no way a girl like me can love Touga-sama, is there?
Nanami     You're right. Considering your own standing, it's obvious.
Nanami     Please continue to be with me forever, Keiko-san.
Keiko      Yes, certainly.
Yuuko      Keiko, we've been friends all along.
Aiko       Yes, we are, no matter what happens.
Utena      I just don't know...
Anthy      The one with her hair tied and her bangs curled is Keiko-san.
Anthy      The one with shoulder-length hair curling to the
	   outside is Aiko-san. 
Anthy      The one with her hair curling to the inside around her
	   cheeks is Yuuko-san. 
Utena      That's not what I'm talking about. How can she still be
	   Nanami's friend? 
Utena      Even though she's actually carrying all sorts of feelings...
Anthy      That's easy.
Anthy      For someone you love, your feelings for any other
	   people become insignificant. 
Anthy      You can deceive yourself as much as you need.



ED         Missing truth and forever
ED         Kissing love and true your heart
ED         Embrace me with your true arms
ED         The key to open up tomorrow is reality
ED         I want to keep on destroying lies.
ED         Even if we keep on talking,
ED         you still won't ever see.
ED         Excuses really suit adults
ED         who hang on to old stories.
ED         Because unchosen angels
ED         have no need for wings.
ED         Missing truth and forever,

ED         I will like tomorrow's new me.
ED         At least I believe so; I want to believe it,
ED         so I want to keep lies hating me.



Title      Preview of Next Episode
Utena      Hey, Himemiya, do you know the rumor about the hall
	   where a hundred youths went missing a long time ago? 
Anthy      Yes.
Utena      Apparently that rumor is true.
Utena      I heard that there was a man called Professor Nemuro
	   here at Ohtori Academy, 
Utena      ...and that all his students disappeared in a fire.
Anthy      But, that was a really long, long time ago.
Utena      Next time on Shoujo Kakumei Utena: Nemuro Memorial Hall
Anthy      The Absolute Destiny: Apocalypse.

Nanami     My, I just thought, "Even a dead tree may add to the
	   beauty of a mountain," and you got conceited. 

Utena      You see, the open cluster Pleiades...
Utena      ...is known as Subaru in Japan, and is even
