Utena and Anthy have become close during their time as roommates. So
when Anthy casually mentions she has a brother, Utena can’t help but
feel shocked. She thought she knew Anthy, but the longer she and Anthy
are friends, the more she discovers she doesn’t know. What other secrets could Anthy be keeping? However, Utena won’t have time to dwell upon
such matters. A new group of duelists has emerged from the shadows.
These new challengers wear black rose signets and also seek revolution,
but their methods are different than those of Ohtori’s Student Council.
They don’t wish to possess Rose Bride. They want to kill her.

As the final duel rapidly approaches, the Student Council’s will to
continue is beginning to waver. After all, End of the World’s identity
and motives remain a mystery. And Utena, fueled by her desire to protect
Anthy, continues to prevail over the feeble ambitions that drive the
Student Council to fight. But the Council’s ambitions are reignited when
they hear a sound. At first, it’s faint, but soon it becomes clear: The promised revolution is within reach – and the duels must go on. And what
of Utena’s own ambition? To become a prince, the duels may be only one
of the trials she has yet to face.

"Never lose that strength or nobility, even when you grow up."
When Utena was just a child and in the depths of sorrow, she found
salvation in those words. They were the words of a prince, who wrapped
her in his rose-scented embrace and bestowed upon her both a ring and
the promise that it would lead her to him again. She never forgot the encounter. In fact, she was so impressed that she aspired to be like the
prince and also help those in need. Now a spirited teenager, Utena
attends the prestigious Ohtori Academy. However, her strong sense of
chivalry soon places her at odds with the school's student council and
thrusts her into a series of mysterious and dangerous duels against its members.
