Shoujo Kakumei Utena Vol.2, P.1-65 P.4 (title page) P.5 (Utena is backed against a wall as Saionji raises his sword to strike) Saionji: After I defeat you, I'm going to take back Anthy. Saionji: Prepare yourself, Tenjou Utena...!! P.6 (Touga jumps in front of Utena and takes the blow meant for her) Utena: Kiryuu... Touga...? Touga: I'm glad... Touga: that the dress I picked out wasn't ruined... P.7 Utena: He was... Utena: supposed to be just an unreliable playboy...! (Miki and Juri have arrived at the scene and stand next to a stunned Saionji) Miki: Council president...?! (Touga collapses into Utena's arms) Utena: Why Utena: did he do this........? P.8 (Touga grimaces in pain as he clutches his wounded arm) Utena: Kiryuu Touga...!! Your arm...?! (Touga is wheeled out on a stretcher while party guests gather around) guest: [kyaaa, Touga-sama!] guest: [he's bleeding!] guest: [what happened??] guest: [the student council president is...] P.9 (Juri, Miki, Utena, and Anthy wait out in a hallway of the infirmary) Juri: The treatment... is taking quite a while. Miki: ... I wonder if Kiryuu-sempai will be alright? Anthy: ... Utena-sama? Utena: ... This is my fault. P.10 Anthy: That isn't so... Utena: But he was cut by Saionji in my place! Utena: I thought he was just a typical playboy... I never would've expected him to protect me... (Juri walks over and places her hand on Utena's shoulder) Utena: Eh? (Juri slaps her across the face) Miki: Juri-san?? P.11 Utena: What was that for...? Juri: Don't get too full of yourself! Juri: Touga didn't protect you for your sake. Juri: If you had been injured, the duels would not have been able to continue. Juri: Don't imagine that it was because he has feelings for you! (a doctor emerges from the operating room) doctor: The treatment is finished. Miki: Doctor! P.12 doctor: There's nothing to worry about anymore. He'll be fine after some rest in the clinic. Utena: Can we see him now? doctor: Certainly. (Juri puts her hand on Utena's shoulder again) Juri: Don't go in there. Utena: ! (Juri holds up her hand with the rose ring on it) Juri: I'm highschool freshman Arisugawa Juri, the captain of the fencing club. Juri: Before long, you and I will settle this. Utena: The rose seal. Utena: ... You're a duelist too. Are you in student council? Juri: I'm different from Saionji. Juri: I prepare for duels, and then I win. (Juri leaves) P.13 Utena: Why do women have to fight eachother......? Miki: Tenjou Utena-san. (he holds out his ring) Miki: I'm also a member of student council. Utena: Not again! Miki: [chuckle] Don't worry, I have no intention of challenging you. Miki: I hate the duels, and I think it's wrong to attack a woman. P.14 Utena: I... see. So there's someone in the council who feels the same way I do...... (she hugs Miki) Utena: You're normal, aren't you? Miki: ! Utena: I'm glad. Let's be friends. (he pulls back) Miki: Uh... If you'll excuse me... (Miki starts to walk away, then turns back) P.15 (he smiles) Miki: I'm Kaoru Miki! I'm one year younger than you, and in the 7th grade. Miki: It's a pleasure to meet you, Utena-san! Utena: Eh... ah, ditto. [he's so cute] Utena: Uwaa, he seems like a nice person. (Wakaba come running towards her from behind) Wakaba: U-te-na!! P.16 (she jumps on Utena) Wakaba: I heard that one of the council members was hurt, and I was worried! (waa, Wakaba looks really cute in her dress! =D) Wakaba: Huh? (Miki bows slightly before leaving) Wakaba: ... Utena Wakaba: That's... Mickey from student council. Do you know him? Utena: "Mickey"...? [what's that?] Wakaba: You don't know? Wakaba: He's really popular among all the upperclass girls. Wakaba: He's not only nice and handsome, but his skill in piano and fencing is at the national level! Wakaba: Even though he's in 7th grade, he's already taking college level courses! He's a genius! Utena: Hmm... P.17 Wakaba: He's the complete opposite in style from Arisugawa-sempai, the captain of the fencing club. Wakaba: He's famous for the beautiful form of his combinations! Wakaba: Y'know... Mickey may be kind-hearted, but Arisugawa-sempai is another matter. Wakaba: She's a very gifted person. They all call her "the beautiful leopard". (I'm not sure about the "leopard" part, because I wasn't able to find "mehyou" in the dictionary...) Wakaba: Even the teachers are cautious around her. She's a scary person... P.18 (Utena crosses her arms) Utena: I see. But still... Utena: that slap was totally uncalled for. Utena: It looks like she hates me suddenly. Utena: I wonder why...? Anthy: Utena-sama, I brought a change of clothes. Anthy: I'll help you. (she starts to undo Utena's gown) Wakaba: Hey now...... Wakaba: Himemiya Anthy, Wakaba: just what do you think you're doing with my Utena? Anthy: But... I am Utena-sama's possession. Wakaba: What did you say?? Wakaba: [just try saying that again!!] Anthy: [ok, I am Utena-sama's...] Utena: Good grief. P.19 (inside the clinic room) Touga: It's not a serious injury. (Juri sits at his bedside, while Miki looks on) Juri: How can you say that? It make takes three months for it to heal. Juri: Let me guess, you just couldn't miss such a perfect chance to play the Romeo, Touga. Juri: (smiling) Even though you're not really serious. (Touga smiles silently to himself, and Juri loses her smile) P.20 (in the student council meeting hall) Juri: Saionji Kyouichi. Juri: For the crime of injuring council president Kiryuu Touga, you are hereby sentenced to a two week suspension. (Saionji leans back in his chair indifferently) Saionji: I'm afraid I can't accept your kind offer. P.21 Juri: What? Saionji: Touga cut in on my duel with Tenjou Utena. Saionji: He ignored the dueling rules. It's not my fault. Miki: No one else thinks of that fiasco as a duel. Miki: It didn't take place on the proper grounds, nor were the rose bride or the sword of Dios present. Saionji: Hn! Get off your high horse, genius boy! Juri: Do you have any more complaints? P.22 Saionji: What gives you the authority to pass such a judgement on me? I outrank you, remember? Juri: Touga has entrusted me with the command. I have also been given your position as vice-president. Juri: You shouldn't have injured Touga... Saionji: Touga protected Tenjou Utena completely on his own! Juri: He was merely doing his duty as council president... Saionji: You're wrong!! Saionji: Touga is in love with Tenjou Utena! (Juri is taken aback) P.23 Juri: That's ridiculous... Touga hits on women a lot, but he never gets serious. Saionji: This time is different. Saionji: He immediately leapt in front of my sword. It's a good thing I restrained myself somewhat. Saionji: Touga and I have known eachother since we were children, so I know him better than you do. Saionji: I'll meekly go into suspension for now. Saionji: But I'd watch out for Tenjou Utena, if I were you. (Saionji leaves the room) P.24 (Utena stands outside Touga's hospital room, holding a bouquet of flowers) Utena: If he saw me carrying these, the council president would probably laugh at me... voice: What are you holding? Juri: Hm... you Juri: and flowers? P.25 Juri: [haahahaha] Utena: Excuse me... I just wanted to apologize to him. (Juri grabs the bouquet and throws it into the trash) Juri: Touga gets plenty of flowers already. Utena: [hey] Utena: What does she have against me? (Utena plays baseball out on the school yard, while Juri watches her through a glass window) girls: Utena-sama! girls: Hit a home run! Utena: Leave it to me. P.26 Miki: Juri-san, will you fence a round with me? (Miki looks out the window) Miki: Ah, it's Utena-san. Miki: She's really good at every sport, isn't she? Miki: Since she beat the kendo club captain, Saionji-san, I guess she must be pretty good at fencing too. Juri: I won't lose to her. Miki: Eh? P.27 (Juri lunges at Miki, who parries barely) Miki: Juri-san? Are you serious? Miki: To fence without our masks on...... It isn't allowed! Juri: You leave too many openings in your defense! P.28 (a baseball crashes through the window) Miki: Watch out, Juri-san...! (Utena runs over) Utena: Sorry! The foul ball just went flying... (Juri holds the ball up, skewered on the end of her foil) Miki: Juri...-san. P.29 fencer: Incredible... fencer: She thrust through the ball in midair. (Juri tosses the ball into Utena's hands) Utena: Arisugawa Juri... Utena: Amazing person...! P.30 (in Utena's dorm) Utena: Arisugawa-sempai has really got it in for me for some reason. Anthy: (washing dishes) Oh my. Utena: Everyday it's something else. Utena: Today she tipped over my lunch in the dining hall. Anthy: (sewing) That's terrible. Utena: And at the morning assembly, I was suddenly called up to sing the school anthem. Utena: [they should know I'm not a good singer] Anthy: (playing cards) It must be hard on you. Anthy: [ok Chuchu, it's your turn] Chuchu: [chu] P.31 Utena: Anthy, are you listening to me? Anthy: I'm listening. Anthy: Soon Arisugawa-sempai will be challenging you to a duel. Utena: [sigh] I though so... Utena: It looks like I'm going to be fighting "the beautiful leopard". Anthy: You don't want to? Utena: ... I don't want to. Utena: But of course I'll have to accept. Utena: I've already decided to go through with this. P.32 Utena: But... isn't it weird that she wants to have you, when she's a woman too? Anthy: I don't think it's quite what you're thinking. (in the clinic) Juri: Touga, I have something to talk to you about-- (Touga's bed is empty) Juri: ?! Juri: Touga... Juri: Where did he go off to with wounds like that...? P.33 (Utena and Anthy are asleep in their beds) (Chuchu tugs at Utena's ear) Chuchu: [chu] [chu] [chuu chu] Utena: Nn... (Chuchu jumps onto her face) Utena: ... What? (Chuchu hangs onto the window curtains) Chuchu: [chu] [chu] Utena: Quit fooling around, Chuchu... (Utena looks out the window as Chuchu sits on her head) Chuchu: [chu] (Utena's eyes widen) P.34 (she pushes the window open) Utena: Kiryuu Touga!! (he looks up at her from the ground below) Utena: What are you doing down there at this time of night? You're still wounded, aren't you...? Touga: I came to see your face. Utena: Stop joking around. Touga: I promised that I would tell you about "the end of the world", didn't I? P.35 Touga: Come down, and we'll take a short walk to the dueling grounds. There's something I want to show you. Utena: Is he serious? Touga: Come... (they walk to the grounds together) Utena: What could he be planning to show me at the dueling grounds? Utena: Could "the end of the world" be waiting there for us...? Utena: Ah... P.36 (The floating castle is luminous and sparkling in the night sky, above the dueling arena. It's really beautiful looking, and I can't do it justice through mere description...) P.37 Utena: In...credible...! P.38 Utena: It's almost like... Utena: a chandelier. Utena: It's so beautiful... Touga: ...... I know. Utena: You must be tired out from your injury. Utena: You shouldn't push yourself so much. Touga: I wanted to show it to you, the dueling grounds at night. P.39 Utena: I feel bad that you got hurt protecting me. I apologize. Touga: You're welcome. But a knight is always willing to risk his life to protect his princess. Utena: Sorry but I can't take you seriously when you say things like that. Utena: And I'd rather be a prince than a princess. Touga: Why? P.40 Utena: ........ Utena: You'd laugh. It's a story that doesn't suit me at all. Touga: What sort of story that doesn't suit you? Touga: I'd like to hear it. Utena: ........ Utena: ... Well basically, when I was six years old my parents both died. Utena: I was so distraught from the shock of it that I wandered around town aimlessly and ended up falling off of a bridge... Utena: At that time a prince came and saved me. P.41 Utena: Then he gave me this ring and told me "This ring will lead you to me someday, as long as--" Touga: "As long as... you do not lose that strength or nobility..." Utena: Why does he know those words? Utena: Only the prince and myself should know them... Touga: Only those that do not lose their strength and nobility may reach that castle in the sky. P.42 Touga: Everything is inside the castle. Touga: The answers to all riddles, the power of Dios... Touga: If you attain that, your wish of becoming a prince will be granted. Utena: No... don't tell me-- Utena: that this person is the one......? P.43 Utena: my prince? voice: ...... Tenjou Utena!! (Juri stands at the entrance to the dueling grounds) P.44 Juri: I request... a duel with you...!! Utena: It's finally happened. P.45 (the next day, Utena climbs the stairs of the dueling grounds) Utena: The captain of the fencing team, Utena: Arisugawa Juri. Juri: So you've come, Tenjou Utena. P.46 Utena: With this person, (Anthy holds out two roses, red and white) Anthy: Small roses from within me. P.47 Utena: I'm going to duel. Anthy: For you. (Anthy holds the roses out in front of Utena, and Utena's uniform transforms) Utena: Eh......? Utena: My clothing...... P.48 Anthy: From the end of the world, Anthy: the rose takes flight, Anthy: to you...... (Utena looks at her transformed uniform) Utena: Anthy... Utena: is this... another magic trick? P.49 Touga: The duel is a sacred ceremony. That is the proper dress for it. Utena: Council president... Miki-kun... (Touga and Miki enter the grounds from the stairway) P.50 (Utena stares at Touga) Utena: Are you...... the prince I've been searching for? Utena: I want to ask you, but-- (Juri examines her foil, then swings it down) Juri: I assume you're already familiar with the dueling rules? P.51 (Anthy fastens the red rose to Juri's chest) Juri: You will lose when I strike the rose from your breast. Juri: At that time, you will remove your presence from the rose bride, and from Touga. (Anthy fastens the white rose to Utena's chest) Utena: I understand. Anthy: Take care, Anthy: please. Utena: Thanks. Juri: Now, let's begin. P.52 (Anthy clasps her hands together) Anthy: Rose of the noble castle... Anthy: The power of Dios which sleeps within me. Anthy: Heed your master, Anthy: and come forth...! (a sword emerges from Anthy's breast) P.53 Utena: It's dazzling. Utena: I don't really understand how this is happening, Utena: but-- (Utena pulls the sword out from Anthy) Utena: If I remember correctly, these words are next...... P.54 Utena: Grant me the power to bring revolution to the world...... (Juri holds her foil against her face) Juri: Grant power to my sword-- P.55 Juri: Hah! (she attacks swiftly) P.56 Utena: It's as if there are no openings in her defense. Utena: I see now why she is called "the beautiful leopard". Juri: What's wrong, Tenjou Utena?! Is this the extent of your abilities?? (Juri pushes Utena back against the wall) P.57 Juri: I will be victorious! Utena: Nn... Juri: And you will stay away from Touga! (Touga and Miki watch from the sidelines) Miki: Juri is very strong. It looks like Tenjou Utena is going to lose. Miki: Who are you rooting for? (Touga is silent) Utena: I still have Utena: many things I have to ask Touga. Utena: ...... I won't lose. Utena: I can't...... lose yet...! (Utena's rose seal begins to glow) P.58 (the light shoots up to the castle) Miki: ...... That is-- (a figure descends through the beam of light) Miki: Something is coming down from the castle...!! P.59 Anthy: ...... Dios. Utena: Eh........?. Utena: Once again, Utena: I'm surrounded by the rose fragrance. P.60 (the spirit of Dios possesses her) Utena: It's as though...... Utena: I'm within a cloud of roses...... P.61 Juri: You won't fool me... with that cheap display! Utena: {gasp} (Juri lunges to attack) Utena: I can see them...! Utena: I see all of Arisugawa-sempai's moves clearly. P.62 (Utena and Juri pass eachother, and the red rose scatters to the ground) Juri: My... rose-- P.63 Juri: ...... Damn it! Touga: The victory belongs to Tenjou Utena. Utena: I won...? Utena: How on earth did I...? Miki: So that is the power of Dios...? I had never seen it before. Juri: It was only because I was surprised. That thing descended so suddenly, and then... Touga: It's your own fault if you left yourself open. P.64 Juri: But... Touga: That's bad form, Juri. Touga: If you're upset about losing, then challenge Tenjou Utena once again. (Juri looks hurt) (she spins around and dashes away) Miki: Juri-san? Utena: Arisugawa-sempai. Miki: (to Touga) You didn't have to go that far! Don't you know how she feels about...?? (Utena cuts him off) Utena: I also... have something I'd like to say! Utena: I've been wondering about it for a while, but could you perhaps be--? (she stops midsentence) P.65 (Touga stands transfixed, gazing up at the castle) Utena: His eyes as he looks up at the castle-- Utena: It's as if he's in his own world...
