Narrator Once upon a time... Narrator ...there was a princess grieving over the deaths of her mother and father. Narrator Before this princess appeared a prince traveling upon a white horse. Narrator His appearance gallant and his smile gentle, Narrator the prince enveloped the princess in the scent of roses and wiped away her tears. Prince "Little lass bearing up alone under grief, Prince please lose not thy strength and nobility when thou growest up." Prince "As a token of this day, please retain this." Princess "Pray, shall we meet once more?" Prince "This ring will guide thee to me." Narrator Was the ring from the prince meant as an engagement ring? Narrator That part was good, Narrator but because of the strength of her adoration for the prince, Narrator the princess made up her mind to become a prince herself! Narrator But is that really good for her? Title On the Night of the Ball Utena And I still have this ring here. Utena So that encounter was real. Utena The Duel Arena, the Rose Bride... Utena Did this ring guide me to all of that? Anthy Good morning, Utena-sama. Utena I'm finished. Utena Will we always have to have breakfast and dinner by ourselves like this? Anthy It's nice and quiet. Utena You're... Anthy Yes? Utena You're always by yourself in class, but do you really not have any friends? Anthy I do, right here. Utena Well, besides him... Utena Stop calling me "Utena-sama," will you? Anthy I shouldn't? girl It's Utena-sama! girl Good morning, Utena-sama! Utena Hi, morning! girl Utena-sama! girl Good Morning! Utena Morning! girl 'Morning! Utena I know, they call me Utena-sama, but... Utena when you say it, it doesn't sound like a joke. Anthy But I've been engaged to you, Utena-sama. Utena I've told you to stop mentioning stuff like "engagement" and the "Rose Bride." Anthy Nevertheless... Utena Look, no matter how you look at me, I'm a regular wholesome girl. Utena I'm only interested in wholesome boys, not a bride or stuff like that. Touga Well, that's a relief. Touga Hello! Touga I'm Kiryuu Touga, Student Council President, and a wholesome boy. Anthy Good morning. Utena Are you two close? Touga Oh, definitely. Touga After all, she is the Rose Bride. Utena I see. You're one of those Duel game freaks. Touga Have you mentioned it to anyone? Utena Who'd try to tell anyone about a stupid thing like that? Touga Excellent. Touga Well, you look gallant and beautiful even when you're angry, Touga ...Tenjou... Utena-kun. Utena Don't get too fresh with me, Mr. President. Touga Take it easy. Let's be good friends. Touga You and I... aren't total strangers, after all. Utena Why... Why do you have that? Touga Just so I could meet you, of course. Utena He couldn't be...? Touga I'd like us to be really good friends. Utena He couldn't be...? touga If the egg's shell does not break, the chick will die without being born. touga We are the chick; the egg is the world. touga If the world's shell does not break, we will die without being born. touga Break the world's shell! touga,juri For the sake of revolutionizing the world! Touga Yesterday, Saionji fought Tenjou Utena for the second time, and was defeated. Miki I've heard he's locked himself in his room since yesterday and hasn't come to school. Juri I could care less about him. Juri But Tenjou Utena... Is she trying to revolutionize the world like we are? Touga No. Touga Unlike us, she doesn't seem to receive the letters from the Ends of the World. Juri If not, why does she bear the Rose Signet? Touga Why, indeed? Wakaba UUUUUUTENA! Wakaba Utena! Utena! Utena-sama! Utena Wakaba... That was very close... Wakaba Was it? Wakaba Oh, you were watching Touga-san! Wakaba A-ha, I see... Utena You see what? Wakaba But you should give up on him. Utena What? Wakaba The rumor is that he's the biggest playboy in our academy, and he's reduced a lot of girls to tears. Utena Such a playboy would never be a prince on a white horse... Wakaba By the way, who'd you get for a roommate? Utena Himemiya Anthy. Wakaba Really? Wakaba You got stuck with a lemon. Utena By a lemon, you mean...? Wakaba She's actually more popular among guys than she might seem, and I've heard bad rumors about her. Utena Rumors? girl It's your fault! You snared our Saionji-san and turned him into a loser! girl He's been away from the Kendo Club, too! girl What a dreadful girl! girl Give us back our Saionji-san! girl Say something! Nanami What's going on here? girl Nanami-sama! Nanami Pray tell, what is all this commotion? Nanami Given the circumstances, I'll have to report it to the Student Council. girl Well, uh... girl It's not what it seems. girl Excuse us! Nanami Are you alright? Anthy Yes, thank you. You're... Nanami-san, they said it was? Nanami Since you're so popular among the boys, you tend to make people jealous. Nanami You're the most popular girl among the boys in my 7th grade class. Nanami At any rate, you've been nominated for the Queen of the Ball this year. Anthy Queen of the Ball? Nanami This weekend, we will choose the Queen of this year's Ball, and you've been nominated.

Utena Does he think I'll go to the party wearing something like THIS? Anthy You're not going? Utena Nope. Not interested. Anthy Then, neither will I. Utena How come? You're nominated for Queen of the Ball, aren't you? Anthy But I feel it's hard for me to deal with a place where there are so many people. Anthy Somehow, they all start to look the same, and that frightens me. Anthy Now, it's your turn, Chuchu. Utena Well, YOU should go. You OUGHT to go! You need friends! Utena Well, you count, but... You should make a lot more friends! Anthy If you insist, Utena-sama. card On the night of the Ball --- Kiryuu Touga Utena What in the world is he thinking anyway?

Utena You really don't have any friends? Anthy I do, right here. Utena Well, besides him, okay?It is confirmed that Chuchu is a he.
Utena I know, they call me Utena-sama, but... Utena when you say it, it doesn't sound like a joke.Read the translator's note for episode 1. The way Anthy uses "-sama" she sounds over-respectful or too formal as if she were Utena's servant. The way the girls use "-sama" is a jest. Sometimes young girls in anime and manga call people by "-sama" to indicate how big a crush they have on the one spoken about.
