Revolutionary Girl Utena, Vol. 3 Quotes

“Our true world exists someplace else. We all want to get that world back…so we can finally return to our deepest selves…this world we inhabit…it’s like an egg…a small world encased in a hard shell. The chick will die unborn, if it doesn’t break through that shell…die without ever knowing that it’s a bird! If we don’t break the world’s shell…we’ll die without being born…without knowing we can fly! And I want to fly. That is why I will revolutionize the world…so I can be myself!”

“You can’t avoid the battle. None of us can. For the answers we seek, the answers to everything, can only be found when the last duel is finished…I’ll be waiting for you.”

“Utena! Who do you like, Anthy Himeniya or me?”

“Wakaba, what are you talking—“

“Don’t you see? You’re always with Anthy these days. I don’t like it! I belong to you!”

“Wakaba, you’re my dearest friend. C’mon…don’t cry.”

“Then what about Anthy Himeniya?”

“How to put it…Himeniya is kind of like family. When I’m with her and Chu-Chu…I feel at peace. Like I don’t have to say or do anything…”

“Hmph! Isn’t that the sort of thing…that married people would say?”

“Wakaba…”

“That’s even worse, Utena! That means Anthy Himeniya—is your wife!”

“Well…she is my Rose Bride…but I can’t tell her that…”

“If that’s how you want it, fine! I’ll be the mistress. And I’ll just fight the legal wife over you!”

“Wakaba!”

“Wakaba is always doing this with you…so I thought this is what best friends do…”

“Well, you shouldn’t do what she does…you’re heavy too…Wakaba’s a bit weird, you know.”
