Book 5 ~ ENDAnthy's brother began telling Utena a story, his story... He and Utena's Prince actually were one person. The Prince represents the 'light', while he is the 'dark'. Together they are one person! They were regarded by people as GOD! On day, the balancing nature within them were gone suddenly! The earthings' wishes were increasing and finally, the 'light' GOD answered to their prayers. If this continued, the 'dark' will vanish, thus, he decided to fight 'light'. Finally, they body splited into two! Their battle began...and it is HE who succeeded. " The Light, now I shall be known as the 'The Edge of The World'!" said Anthy's brother. Just as the the 'light' was at the corridor of DEATH, he met a little's girl's fate who was similar to HIS. He then gave her to power, the courage the determination to live. Then the 'light' should have vanish by right, but Anthy saved him. She locked the power of the vanishing 'light' in a sword and kept it within her, thus making her the 'Cursed Bride'....
As the story were told till here, Utena had decided to save Anthy. Since her 'Prince' is no longer her 'Prince' and Anthy's prince (who is also her prince) had died, she had decide two become her own and Anthy's Prince!

With a kiss, Utena sealed both of them together... Utena, her Prince and Anthy's 'brother' vanished together.
It seems that everyone in school had forgotten about the whole thing. No one knows who Utena was, nor the existence of the 'Rose Ring' except for Toga. He have some recollection of a dream, which he was not sure whether it is a dream or real. As he found Anthy, Anthy had somehow changed, she began to dress and look like Utena. As he approached her to ask for the truth about Utena's death, she smiled and replied, " Utena wasn't dead. She gave me this ring at the very last moment. Thus the ring have never been usd before, so the revolution of the world hasn't started yet!" Then Anthy spoke again, " Toga, please tell the captian that I won't be able to enter the competition, as I'm out to look for Utena. When we meet again, then the revolution have really began!"
