title "The Ends of the World"
Utena Where are we?
Utena The Prince...
Akio Yes. The Prince.
Utena So, you were the Ends of the World after all, huh?
Utena You're the one who was behind everything.
Akio You knew all along.
Akio But, I'm your Prince. You came all this way to meet
me.
Utena I want to know your reason.
Akio Reason?
Utena The reason behind making everybody Duel!
Utena What is the meaning of all the things being done at
this school?
Akio How courageous.
Akio What sort of dreams have you been dreaming lately?
Akio I always dream of the castle.
Utena The castle?
Akio Yes. The castle where the Prince and the princess
will live...
Akio ...happily for ever and ever and ever after.
Akio The Prince is me. And the princess is you.
Utena Himemiya!
Akio You needn't be alarmed. Anthy is right over there.
Akio That ring would have lead you here sooner or later.
Akio You truly have done well, coming all this distance
without losing your noble heart.
Akio My judgement was sound.
Akio You're beautiful.
Akio Bearing your noble heart all the way here...
Akio You are my true princess.
Akio Swords no longer suit you.
Akio I shall keep this sword. And from this day forward, I
will protect you.
Utena And what happens then?
Akio You'll be happy. You'll receive eternity and we will
love each other forever.
Akio And the princess will live forever and ever with the
Prince in the castle.
Akio What's wrong?
Utena If we live happily in the castle, what'll happen to
Himemiya?
Akio She'll remain the Rose Bride. Forever.
Utena Are you running away?
Anthy Don't worry about me anymore!
Utena Are you running away?!
Utena Weren't we gonna have tea and laugh together for our
ten-year reunion?
Anthy I'm sorry, Utena-sama.
Anthy I'm so sorry.
Anthy Because I'm the Rose Bride...because I'm a doll with
no heart...
Anthy I thought that no matter what befell my body, my heart
wouldn't feel the pain.
Anthy I'm sorry, Utena-sama. My suffering is my rightful
punishment as the Rose Bride.
Anthy But...making you suffer...you were merely caught up in
it all...
Anthy I knew everything.
Anthy I exploited your innocence. I encroached upon your
kindness.
Anthy I'm sorry, Utena-sama. I've been unfair to you.
Anthy I'm a dirty woman. I've betrayed you all along. I-
Utena No.
Utena I...didn't recognize your pain.
Utena I didn't realize your suffering.
Utena Instead, I just kept on pretending to be the Prince
who could save you.
Utena I was just being conceited about protecting you.
Utena And when I saw you and Akio-san together...I even
thought you had betrayed me.
Utena When you were suffering so much...when I had said we
should save each other...
Utena I'M the one who's unfair. I'm the one who's dirty.
Utena I'm the one who betrayed you.
Anthy It's okay now, so please...leave this school.
Anthy Please forget about all of this.
Utena How...the hell could I do that?
Utena That's right. There's no way in hell I can do that.
Akio What're you doing?
Akio A sword isn't meant for a girl to wave around like
that.
Utena I'll free Himemiya from you!
Akio Truly courageous.
Akio Who would have thought it would come to this?
Utena What're you talking about?
Akio But, just as I once said, now that time has passed...
Akio ...you should no longer be just a pure soul who wants
to be a Prince.
Akio Dresses don't go with swords.
Akio Looking at you reminds me of my former self.
Akio But, that's exactly why you can't save her.
Akio In the end, all that stuff about the Prince and the
castle holding eternity is merely make-believe.
Akio Now, allow me to show you what's real.
Utena Real?
Akio The Ends of the World.
Utena This is...
Utena your room!
Akio A magnificent Planetarium, isn't it?
Akio This device paints the illusion of fairy tales for
those with naive wishes in their hearts...
Akio ...who say they wish something eternal existed, who
say they wish the power of miracles existed.
Akio But, there's no place higher than this room.
Akio This room is the summit of Ohtori Academy, and of the
world.
Utena I hate this room.
Akio Someone as young as you might not appreciate the value
of this room.
Akio And so instead of the real Chairman's Room, you chase
after phantom Castles in the sky.
Utena That's not it. This is the room where you and Anthy
always...
Akio Always...?
Akio Oh, is that what you're upset about?
Akio Am I really doing something that despicable?
Akio And even if I am, you're the same as me.
Utena What're you talking about?
Akio I doubt you've forgotten.
Akio Behold, the memory of the two of us.
Akio I have a fiancee, but that didn't stop you.
Akio Isn't that a sin?
Utena That's not fair.
Akio Unfair? Isn't it unfair to turn your eyes from
the truth and then criticize others?
Akio Isn't it UNFAIR to pretend that your conscience is
clear and that YOU'RE the one in the right?
Utena That's not it! I...Himemiya...
Akio That's right. You didn't even try to understand
Anthy.
Akio In the end, you had your hands full just thinking
about yourself.
Akio How cute. You're a good woman.
Akio You should stay a girl.
Akio There was a time when you were helpless and reality
subjugated you,
Akio no matter how much you struggled.
Akio With no way to escape the cruel reality before your
eyes,
Akio you tried to segregate yourself from the world.
Akio The one who saved you from within that darkness...was
me.
Akio I'm the one who gave you the power to face the world
again.
Akio At that time, I was a Prince to you.
Akio But, I'm the same, then and now.
Akio And Anthy was the Rose Bride, then and now.
Akio And she's a witch.
Akio That goes for you too. Both then and now, you're a
girl.
Akio There's no need for you to fight with a sword in your
hand.
Akio You can become a noble, beautiful princess.
Akio Now, won't you give me that sword?
Utena What do you plan to do with this sword?
Akio I'll Revolutionize the World.
Utena Aren't you her brother?!
Utena Are you just going to abandon her?
Akio Foolish lifeform.
Akio There never was any such thing as a Prince anywhere
in the world in the first place.
Utena Didn't you just say you were a Prince?
Akio Do you know what that is?
Akio It's Dios's, the Prince's Grave.
Akio When she became known as a witch, Dios perished.
Akio The Princely me no longer exists.
Utena I guess I have no choice but to fight with you.
Akio For Anthy?
Akio I thought that she was a goddess who sacrificed her
body for the one she loved, for me.
Akio I once thought so too.
Akio And she really might have been, once. But now she's a
witch.
Akio And she enjoys being a witch.
Utena You're the one who's making her a witch!
Akio Wrong. We love each other. She can't be happy any
other way.
Touga If it does not break the egg's shell,
Touga the chick will die without being born.
Miki We are the chick.
Juri The egg is the world.
Nanami If we do not break the shell of the world,
Nanami we will die without being born.
Saionji Break the shell of the world.
all To Revolutionize the World!
Miki It's begun, hasn't it.
Juri Yeah.
Nanami Tenjou Utena.
Saionji That's right.
Nanami So, what happens to the Victor of this game?
Touga Nobody knows. But it will be her final trial.
Touga The Duel Called Revolution has now begun.
Akio I'm not a Duelist.
Akio Fighting me isn't some play duel.
Utena I was never playing when I dueled!
Akio No, you know nothing besides play duels.
Akio But if you don't put up your sword now, you'll find
out how terrifying real duels are.
Utena I won't let you beat me.
Akio A child like you can't appreciate my ideals.
Akio The Rose Bride exists because of ideals you don't
comprehend.
Utena What kind of shitty ideal makes you use this room to
control everybody's lives?!
Akio A child wouldn't appreciate the value of this room.
Utena What is the value of this room?!
Utena Making Himemiya suffer more?!
Akio She's the Rose Bride of her own free will.
Akio There's no call for you to interfere.
Anthy I am the Rose Bride...from today forward, I am your
flower.
Anthy Really, I...
Anthy I'm sorry, Utena-sama.
Anthy I'm so sorry.
Utena I'll be the one to free her from you!
Akio Do you know what you're saying?
Utena Sure I do! It means I'll become a Prince!
Utena Why...?
Utena Himemiya...why...
