Shoujo Kakumei Utena P.136-191 P.136 Saionji: What was that...? That light... Touga: Was that... the first time the sword of Dios has been invoked? Touga: That is the power of Dios that everyone wants...? Utena: What on earth...? Utena: This sword just... P.137 (Utena hands the sword to Anthy) Utena: I'm returning... this. It's yours, right? Utena: Anyway... I won for the moment. (Touga smiles) Touga: What's your name? Utena: Tenjou Utena. P.138 Touga: Tenjou Utena, Touga: I've fallen in love with you. Utena: Don't play around, council president! Utena: This isn't the time for that! Touga: [hahaha] Utena: Anyway, I just want to leave this strange place as quickly as I can. P.139 (Utena stands outside the door to the dueling forest) Utena: Oh no...! I forgot all about Himemiya Anthy. Utena: I hope she's alright. P.140 (next day at school) Utena: I won the duel. Utena: Hopefully Saionji won't bother Himemiya anymore. girl1: Utena-sama! girl2: Good morning, Utena-sama! Utena: Morning... girl1: ? girl2: She seems a little different today. Utena: The usual morning, the usual class. P.141 Utena: It's as if everything that happened yesterday was just a dream... (she sees Anthy greet another student) Anthy: [good morning] Utena: Himemiya Anthy. Utena: She's acting like nothing happened. teacher: [blah blah blah...] Utena: Maybe it was all just a dream... Wakaba: U-te-na! (Wakaba jumps on Utena's back) Utena: Wakaba... you feel a little heavier than usual... Wakaba: Utena! P.142 Wakaba: Uwaan, Utena! Utena: What's wrong? Is it that Saionji guy again? Wakaba: Uh-uh, that's over and done with already! Wakaba: I'm all yours, Utena! Utena: Oh, ok. Wakaba: We were supposed to be in the same class and in the same dorm room this year but, Wakaba: you're being moved to the East Hall today! Utena: Room change? Utena: East Hall. Isn't that the one that hasn't been used in over ten years...? P.143 Utena: Why am only I being moved...? Wakaba: My poor Utena. Wakaba: I've heard that there are rats and weasels and ghosts in there. And you'll be living all by yourself!! Utena: ... Wanna come with me? Wakaba: No thanks! Wakaba: I hate spider webs and cockroaches and doodlebugs... (Utena enters East Hall) Utena: Could this... be due to the duel yesterday? P.144 Utena: Uwa! This is going to be a pain to clean. (Utena climbs the stairs and pauses in front of her new room) Utena: This is it...? Utena: It must be a mess inside... Utena: Man! I'm gonna have to do 10 years worth of cleaning! (she turns the knob) (inside the room is sparkling clean and fully furnished) P.145 Utena: How can it be this clean...? voice: Forgive me, Utena-sama! (Anthy slides across the floor, scrubbing at top speed) Anthy: The cleaning will be completed very soon! Utena: ! Utena: What are you doing this for? Utena: This is my... Anthy: ... Aa! P.146 Anthy: I forgot. (Anthy strolls out of the room and writes her name beneath Utena's on the room-identification plate) {kaki kaki = scribble scribble} Utena: ...... Anthy: In accordance with the rules of "the rose seal", I will be living with you from today. Anthy: I am "the rose bride". Anthy: I now belong to you, the victor of the duel. Anthy: You have been given the right to do with me as you wish. Anthy: I will obey whatever you say. Utena: "Bride"... P.147 Utena: "I belong to you"? Anthy: The cleaning is all done. Is there anything else you would like me to do? Anthy: I've prepared some tea at the table... Utena: You gotta be kidding me. (Anthy starts to take off Utena's coat) Anthy: You must be tired. Shall I prepare the bed? Utena: ! (Utena pulls her coat back on) Utena: Wait a minute! Utena: You say this is "in accordance with the rules"? Don't tell me... you shared a room with Saionji before...? Anthy: It's my function to be engaged to the one who wins the duel. Utena: What do you mean "engaged"...? You get engaged to the victor no matter who they are? Utena: You don't mind being treated like property? P.148 (Anthy looks solemn) Anthy: .......... Anthy: The rules of "the rose seal" are absolute... Anthy: Is it an inconvenience for us to be here...? Utena: ........ Utena: How can I stand against that dejected expression.......? Utena: That wasn't exactly what I was trying to say. Utena: ... Huh? Utena: You said "us". Is there someone else here too? Anthy: Yes. Utena: There are three tea settings...? P.149 Utena: Where? (one of the teacups on the table starts to wiggle) Utena: The cup is moving on its own... ~Wakaba: They say that there are ghosts in there! Utena: No way... (Utena sees the teacup tip back slightly, then picks up it up) voice: [chu] (sitting on a chair, reaching up for the cup is a small, weird-looking monkey-thing) P.150 Utena: A monkey? Anthy: Allow me to introduce you. This is my friend, Chuchu. Utena: Your pet? Anthy: My friend. (Utena smiles) Utena: ... I see. Utena: "Friend"... Utena: [hmm] Utena: Here you go, Chuchu. (she holds out a biscuit to the monkey) Utena: I'm Tenjou Utena. Utena: Can I be your friend too? (Chuchu stares at her) P.151 (then goes through a monkey chest-beating performance) Chuchu: [chu] Utena: It's a pleasure to meet you, Chuchu. (she shakes the monkey's hands) Anthy: It's unusual for Chuchu to take to another person, Utena-sama. Utena: By the way, there's something I'd like to ask you Anthy. P.152 Utena: What's the deal with this ring? It allowed me to enter the forest, and Saionji had one too. Anthy: That is the symbol of those who are allowed to participate in the duels. It also serves as a key to the dueling area. Anthy: All the members of the student council have one. Anthy: As the current dueling champion, you will likely be challenged to duels by members of student council in the near future. Utena: ! Utena: Give me a break! I'm supposed to duel again...? Utena: First of all, I think this whole "rose seal" business is pretty stupid! P.153 Utena: I'm not going to obey these silly rules! Utena: I'm going to find out what the student council is planning with these weird castle and sword of Dios contraptions...! Anthy: You musn't, Utena-sama! You don't know how frightening the student council can be...! Utena: I'll find that out on my own. Utena: I feel sorry for you... to have to live this sort of life. (Utena walks out and slams the door behind her) Anthy: Utena-sama?! P.154 Utena: First I'll check out those dueling grounds again, Utena: and then... (she spots Touga standing near the rose garden building) Utena: It's the council president. Utena: To ask him straight out would probably be the fastest way! Utena: Change of strategy! (Touga walks into the building) sign: (written) All non student-council-officers are forbidden to enter Utena: Who cares. (she enters the building) P.155 Utena: Student council president! You're in here, aren't you? Utena: It's Tenjou Utena. I have business with you! Utena: Come on...! Where are you...? (she sees the back of a man with short hair, standing in the garden) Utena: That is...? P.156 Utena: He resembles him... My prince... Utena: Who is that? I want to see his face. (someone's hand pulls down the bushes near her) Touga: You called? Utena: Council president... P.157 Utena: (pointing to the other man) Who is that pers--? (Touga abruptly pulls Utena towards himself, and kisses her) Utena: ! P.158 (picture page) (cute image of Anthy and Utena sitting on stools) P.159 (replay picture of the kiss) Utena: ! P.160 Utena: Nn... Utena: You Utena: playboy!! (she hits him across the face with a handfull of roses) P.161 Utena: The rumors were right. You really will hit on anyone. (Utena looks back to where the other man was, but he's disappeared) Utena: He's gone... Utena: The one who looks like my prince... Touga: There's no one else here. Non council-members aren't allowed in here. Touga: [ouch, the thorns...] Touga: There was something you wanted to ask me, right? Perhaps about that "rose seal" ring you have? P.162 Touga: I have one too. It's the sign of those who are allowed to participate in the game. Utena: Game? Touga: The duels. Utena: Is it an ordinary game for a girl to be turned into a prize? Utena: Who started this awful game? Was it you, student council president? Touga: Of course not. P.163 Touga: "The end of the world" decided it. Utena: "The end of the world"? P.164 Touga: I was chosen by "the end of the world", and then received a rose seal letter. Touga: I obeyed the instructions in the letter, and then the doors of the dueling grounds opened for me with the ring. Utena: ...... I did receive letters, but nothing like that was written in them! Touga: At least that's how it was for the student council. Utena: Why do you duel...? Touga: In order to attain the rose bride and possess the sword of Dios. Utena: What's so interesting about possessing all that? All you get is Himemiya and a monkey, right? Touga: ...... The sword of Dios P.165 Touga: is the chosen sword of the possessor. Touga: It is not so much that the power is in the sword. Touga: Rather the bearer displays the harmonious power. (aiyaa, I don't think I got this part quite right) Touga: If the hero continues to win and continues to be engaged to the rose bride, he will eventually become the victor who displays incredible power. Touga: And before long the hero will reach the illusionary castle in the sky. Touga: And then he will have enough power to revolutionize the world. Touga: The legendary power of Dios will be in his hands. P.166 Utena: ... "Revolution"? That's just make-believe. Touga: You saw it too, didn't you? The power of Dios. Utena: That time. (she recalls the end of the duel) P.167 Utena: That... was Utena: definitely something else. Touga: When I saw you, who isn't even a council member, draw out that power from the sword of Dios Touga: I was very surprised. Touga: To think that such a thing was sleeping within you... (he kisses the back of her hair) Touga: I want to find out more about it. Utena: ! P.168 Utena: Just... try that again! Utena: You won't like what will happen! Utena: I'm going home! Touga: There's going to be a dance this weekend on school grounds. Utena: [what's this nonsense?] Touga: If you want to learn more about "the end of the world", come. P.169 Touga: I'll be waiting. Utena: Why would I want to go to such a stupid thing? (she runs out of the rose garden) Utena: That philanderer...!! Utena: How can he kiss someone he doesn't even love...?! P.170 (Utena wipes her mouth) Utena: Letting that guy give me my first kiss is a mistake I'll have to deal with for the rest of my life. voice: Why, Anthy?!! (Saionji and Anthy, with Chuchu on her shoulder, are talking nearby) Utena: Saionji and Anthy. Anthy: I'm sorry, Saionji-sempai, but now I am engaged to Utena-sama. Saionji: Are you saying our engagement was a lie? Anthy: No, but that's over now. P.171 (Saionji slaps her across the face, his favorite hobby!) Saionji: You should be ashamed! Utena: ! (Chuchu falls off Anthy's shoulder) Chuchu: [chu] Utena: Saionji!! You're the one who should be ashamed! (Utena stands between Saionji and Anthy) Anthy: ...... Utena-sama! P.172 Utena: Himemiya is only following the rules of the council and the rose seal! Utena: If you're the vice-president of student council, then you should accept your defeat gracefully. Utena: If you can't, then challenge me to a formal duel like a man. Utena: I'm ready if you are! Saionji: Gr... (he walks away) Utena: It looks like he was really serious about you. (Chuchu is back on his mistress' shoulder) Chuchu: [hmph] P.173 Anthy: ...... Utena-sama, I thought you said you didn't like dueling... Utena: I still don't like it. Utena: But... I understand that there are things you can't avoid. Utena: Before I knew it, I've become involved in all this...... Utena: That's all I understand right now... Utena: But I'm not going to run away. I'm sure one day I will understand everything. P.174 Utena: Anthy, why are you the rose bride? Anthy: ... I don't know, I've always been the rose bride. Utena: You've never wondered about the reason? Anthy: I see what you mean... I guess I've never thought about it. Utena: You're such a weirdo. Anthy: Utena-sama? Utena: But I don't dislike you. P.175 Utena: Anyway, could you cut out all this "Utena-sama" and "engagement" talk? Anthy: But I am engaged to you, Utena-sama. Utena: Good grief. (back at their dorm) girl: Tenjou Utena-sama and Himemiya Anthy-sama, I have a delivery for you. Chuchu: [chu] Anthy: Utena-sama! Look at this... (she holds up a flowery dress) Anthy: It's a dress from the student council president. P.176 (Chuchu holds up a card with a little cartoon picture of Touga on it) card: (written) For the night of the ball. From Kiryuu Touga. Utena: What the hell is this? Does he think I'm actually going to wear this and go to the party? Anthy: You're not going to go? Utena: It doesn't interest me. Anthy: Then I-- Utena: You should go. You already have a dress, after all. Utena: Besides you're always alone. Utena: Don't you have any friends? Anthy: I do, right here. Chuchu: [chu] Utena: Hmmm...... Utena: You need some human friends. (Utena gives Anthy a push) Anthy: But I'm always with you, Utena-sama... P.177 (the party) girl1: Aw, parties like this are empty without a boyfriend. girl2: Utena-sama isn't here either. girl1: Hey, isn't that... Utena-sama? girl2: Eh? P.178 (Utena and Anthy are standing together all dressed up. Utena is wearing the dress Touga sent her and looks really cute, although a little annoyed.) girls: [ehh? no way!] girls: [Utena-sama's wearing girl clothes??] girls: [she's so cute!] Utena: This is why I didn't want to put on this sort of outfit! Anthy: Forgive me, Utena-sama. Anthy: You've put on embarrassing clothing so that I may make friends... Utena: [that's not exactly what I meant] P.179 Touga: So you came. Don't you look nice. Touga: I really do have impeccable taste when it comes to women's clothing. Touga: Come on, don't turn around. It looks perfect on you. (Anthy bows to Touga) Anthy: Kiryuu-sempai, thank you for giving me a dress as well. Touga: Huh? Touga: I sent a dress to Tenjou Utena, but not to Himemiya... Utena: I already told you, I'm not going to dance. P.180 Utena: Don't misunderstand! Touga: {chuckle} Touga: Yes, yes. voice: Touga! Touga: Juri, Miki. Miki: Ah... Could she be that Tenjou Utena you told us about? Juri: So, she's just an ordinary girl. Juri: Did this girl really drive Saionji to his current condition? (sorry, I couldn't figure out what "tachi naorenai" means, so "current condition" was the best I could come up with) P.181 Utena: Student council members. Touga: Current condition? Miki: Yes, ever since Saionji lost that duel he's been reckless and hasn't been coming to school. Miki: He's such a hopeless guy. Touga: He's been a reckless guy from the beginning. Utena: Himemiya? (Anthy, meanwhile, is in the middle of being slapped) P.182 (but it's not by Saionji, surprise surprise) girl: It's your fault, Himemiya Anthy. (a pack of girls have backed Anthy against a wall) girl: It's because you dumped him that Saionji-san has become depressed! girl: Saionji-san has even resigned from the kendo club! girl: You're a freaky girl, always with that blank expression on your face... girl: Just what did you do to sempai?? voice: Stop it. (Saionji appears with a sword) girl: Saionji-san! P.183 Saionji: Get lost...!! girl: Y...yes, sempai. (the girls leave) Saionji: ... Anthy. Saionji: It suits you, the dress that I sent you. Saionji: You will be my bride forever. Saionji: Come, Anthy. P.184 (he pushes her out of the dancing room) (Touga and Utena, meanwhile, are out on the balcony) Utena: What is he staring at me for...? Utena: Wh...what do you want? P.185 Touga: I'll tell you, about "the end of the world"... Utena: Really? Touga: I was just thinking how beautiful you look. Utena: Wh... what...? voice: Saionji-sempai, let me go... (Utena looks over her shoulder in surprise) P.186 (Saionji has dragged Anthy out onto the same balcony) Utena: Eh......? (Saionji holds his sword out in front of Anthy) Saionji: Tenjou Utena! I won't give the rose bride to you. Utena: Saionji? (Saionji turns around, and drags Anthy away again) Anthy: Utena-sama... Utena: ! P.187 Utena: What is that jerk planning to do with Anthy?? Utena: They're going into the elevator. (she runs after them, and manages to make it through the door just before it closes) Utena: ... Saionji... Utena: Give Anthy back! Saionji: Tenjou Utena. P.188 Saionji: I request a duel with you. Saionji: If I win, (he draws his sword) Saionji: Anthy is mine again. Utena: A japanese sword...!! (Saionji raises the sword to strike) P.189 (Utena dodges and barely misses his swing) Anthy: ! Utena: He's starting the duel here......? (Saionji opens the door to the elevator, and shoves Anthy out) Saionji: You're leaving. Anthy: Ah... (Anthy bangs on the closed door) Anthy: Utena-sama...! P.190 (elsewhere in the building) Touga: Juri, Miki, come with me! Touga: Saionji is going rogue! (they run down the stairs) Touga: Hurry...! (in the elevator) Utena: Saionji, this is low even for you! Utena: I don't have any weapon and I'm stuck in this sort of outfit! Saionji: So what. P.191 Saionji: Defeating you is all that matters. Saionji: Prepare yourself, Tenjou Utena...!! (he swings again)
