Shoujo Kakumei Utena Vol.5, P.1-41 P.7 (title page) P.8 Utena: ...... You're Dios? You're the one who's been encouraging me all this time? Utena: It can't be... Utena: You're lying to me, aren't you? P.9 Akio: You've come a long way to reach this point. Akio: Now you have risen high enough to view everything. Akio: From up here you can see everything below quite clearly. Utena: ! (Utena kneels down, and looks down through the palace floor at the world below) Akio: Perhaps this is like being that which you call "god"-- P.10 (Utena looks up) Utena: "God"...? Utena: Are you saying that you're god? Then the mysterious power of this castle......? Akio: It doesn't matter what you call us. Akio: Humans are whimsical beings, so we have had many names over time. Akio: Now we are called "the end of the world". Akio: On that day we crossed the border from being Dios to becoming "the end of the world". P.11 Utena: On what day......? Akio: The day that you met Dios. Akio: What Anthy told you is only half the truth. Akio: He and I once existed as one person. Akio: The Dios of light and the Dios of darkness were combined into one heart and one body, forming perfect "Dios". P.12 Utena: "Light and Dark Dios"........?! Akio: It was Dios', or rather our responsibility to help people in need. Akio: Because of that we began to be referred to as "god". And our work gave us pleasure. Akio: However, at some point our balance was set off, and Light Dios began to respond to much to people's excessive expectations. Akio: Continuing to do so would have destroyed us, and so I rebelled against Light Dios. Akio: Our body split into two, and a battle began. Akio: I was the victor. P.13 (the spirits of Light and Dark Dios float in the air) ~Dark: Dios of light, I will throw away the Dios name from here on out. ~Dark: I will become "the end of the world". ~Dark: It has become destiny that one of us should disappear. ~Light: To think that another part of myself could hate me so......... ~Light: If this is how things shall be...... then I will disappear. P.14 ~Light: What is that........? (Light Dios, returning to solid form, flies down to catch a falling girl) ~Light: Wandering on the border between life and death, she has the same lonely eyes as I. ~Light: I will entrust all to this girl. ~Light: My heart, my courage, my nobility, (he bestows the rose signet upon her) P.15 ~Light: my strength, I give them all to you, ~Light: so that you will be able to live with strength and nobility. ~Light: If you do not lose those noble thoughts, ~Light: then perhaps-- Akio: Dios should have disappeared at that time, and yet........ P.16 (Akio levitates Anthy up into the air) Akio: The Dios that is still on verge disappearing was rescued then by Anthy. Utena: Anthy?! P.17 ~Anthy: As long as he is saved, it doesn't matter what happens to me! (she embraces Dios' stricken body) ~Anthy: I beg of you, save him........!! Akio: Anthy sealed the disappearing Dios and his power up in this castle, thus preserving him in some form. Akio: Then she lodged the sword of Dios in her breast to remind herself of him... Akio: However, because of that Anthy has become a cursed princess. Utena: "Cursed"...? P.18 Akio: It became her destiny to be given to the victor of the duels as the rose bride. Akio: And she was never to be reunited with her prince, Dios. Akio: A pitiful princess, indeed...... Utena: Such a tragic story... (Utena looks up at the vacant face of Anthy) Utena: Hime...miya. P.19 Utena: So...... you gave up everything? Utena: ........ Can you hear me? Utena: Himemiya...... Hey......?! Akio: The one Anthy loved was the Dios made up of both light and dark. Akio: However, since the Dios of light has disappeared, Anthy's "prince" will never return. Akio: Thus... see for yourself-- P.20 (Anthy's shoes and dress fade in and out of transparency) Utena: Anthy's clothing is fading......?! Akio: ........ Perhaps it's suicide. Akio: Soon, she herself Akio: will disappear, Akio: just like Dios. P.21 Utena: No...... Utena: Save Himemiya! You should be able to do it if you have "the power to revolutionize the world"........ Akio: The prince she loves no longer exists. The Dios of light has disappeared, and the Dios of darkness has become "the end of the world". Akio: Therefore, Akio: what is happening is her own desire. P.22 (Utena slaps Akio) {whap} Utena: I've made my decision. P.23 Utena: I'm going to become a prince......!! Utena: I'm going to defeat you, take back the ring, then obtain the power of revolution. Utena: I'll save Himemiya......!! Akio: That's impossible. P.24 Akio: Do you think you can defeat me, who conquered even Dios? Akio: Especially when you're only a woman......? Utena: Shut up!! I'm completely serious! Utena: For the first time in my life, I truly feel the desire to duel......!! Utena: From the bottom of my heart........! P.25 Utena: I'm going to defeat you. (a tear rolls down her cheek) P.26 (Akio holds Utena's face in his hands, and kisses her at the bridge of her nose) Akio: You're going to die. Akio: This is...... Akio: different from a play duel. (a white rose appears on Utena's chest through Akio's magic) P.27 Utena: A rose.......? Akio: Do you understand how difficult it is to become a prince? Akio: I'll teach you. P.28 both: [haaaah] (the duel begins) P.29 (after a few parries, Akio knocks Utena's sword out of her hands) P.30 (she tries to recover her strength and stand up again) Utena: [haa haa haa} Akio: Surrender. Utena: I... won't. Akio: To persist any further will only lead to suffering. Akio: No matter how much to try to put on the airs of a prince, you cannot save Anthy. Utena: Anthy... Utena: No...... I will Utena: become a prince. P.31 Utena: ! (Utena clutches at her chest) Utena: The rose on my chest..... Utena: It feels like I'm being stabbed by thorns...... Utena: The pain is increasing...... Utena: Uu... Utena: I can't remove the rose. Utena: Aa... u... (thorny vines spread out from the rose, wrapping around her) Akio: Beautiful looking roses also possess stinging thorns. Akio: The path of a prince is a painful one. P.32 Akio: What is the purpose of going through so much suffering to become one? Akio: In the end, your prince, Light Dios wasn't able to save anyone or protect Anthy. (Akio holds out his hand to her) Akio: Come Tenjou Utena. Throw away that sword. Akio: Come......! P.33 Utena: I'm not going to lose......!! Utena: I could never become "the end of the world" as you did......!! (Akio pushes Utena to the ground with his sword) Utena: Ah...... Ahh! Akio: You will die, if this continues......! Akio: Are you really willing to die for Anthy's sake? P.34 Utena: Hime......miya. You've always been standing all alone in that way. Utena: It was the same for me. Utena: On that day, if I hadn't met the prince, I surely would've died Utena: And so...... Utena: [HIMEMIYA...!] Utena: Open your eyes, Himemiya!! I swear I'll protect you! Utena: Believe in me......! (a faint trace of recognition comes into Anthy's face) P.35 (Utena continues the duel against Akio) P.36 (Anthy watches in tears, as Akio knocks Utena to the floor again) Akio: Do you understand now?! This isn't a game! Akio: Surrender! Or I'll be forced to...... Utena: No...... I refuse! P.37 Utena: I have to become Himemiya's prince! (the ring on Akio's hand glows) Akio: Hm.....? (Akio covers his eyes against the blinding light) Akio: Uwa......! P.38 (the spirit of Dios emerges from the ring) Akio: Dios.....?! You were supposed to have disappeared........ Akio: I thought the "power to revolutionize the world" had already been given to me......? P.39 (Dios kneels next to Utena) Utena: Dios...... Utena: the prince who lead me to this point........ Utena: I came here because I wanted to see you. Utena: But I have to stop being an ordinary girl who longs for princes. Utena: I must become a prince myself. Utena: I must protect Himemiya. P.40 Utena: [haah...] (she holds her sword up to attack) ~Dios: If you do not lose your noble thoughts, ~Dios: then at that time ~Dios: you will be able ~Dios: to save us. P.41 (Utena and Akio pass eachother jousting style) Anthy: Utena-sama........?!
